Jottings
by Jack
Riddell, MPP
The Niagara Escar-
pment is the result of
some 300 million years of
erosion of rock layers: its
limestone cliffs and
ridges curve through
Ontario from Niagara
Falls to Tobermory.
Queenston Heights, the
rocky hills at the Forks of
the Credit and the cliffs of
the Bruce Peninsula all
from part of the
Escarpment, which is
well known for its cliffs
and caves, forests and
waterfalls - the home of
rare rock ferns and or-
chids, of turkey vultures
and eagles. Ontario
Government brochures
was lyrical about the
natural wonders of the
Escarpment - "rock,
forest and wave -washed
cliffs," "unspoiled
beauty", "some of the
most breath -taking
scenery to be found
anywhere in Ontario."
Some 10 years ago,
planner Leonard Gertler,
in a study prepared for
the provincial govern-
ment, predicted in detail
how quickly the Escar-
pment area would be
taken over by residential
and industrial
development if the
Government did not take
rapid, andwef fective action
to prevent the loss. of
escarpment land. Yet
three years went by
before the government
imposed temporary
controls and passed a
Pits and Quarries Control ,
Act (criticized as being
too weak). Five years
after the Gertler Report,
the government an-
nounced establishment of
the . Niagara Escarpment
Commission, to be in
charge of long-term
planning. During the five-
year . interval, the
Government spent some
$7 million to buy 20,000
acres on the Escarp-
ment: speculators had
also been very active in
the area.
The Commission
'Chairman has, confirmed
that many applications to
build along the Escar-
pment were received
after the Commission
was established. More
than 90 percent of the
applications were ap-
proved, albeit with ob-
jections from some
Commission members.
There are three main
issues which have to be
taken into account by the
Commission in at-
tempting to carry out its
work; Over-all public
good versus the rights of
the individual lan-
downer; Different at-
titudes with respect to
land restrictions and the
use of the Escarpment;
The assumption by the
Province of a land -use
planning function which
has traditionally been left
to municipalities.
Last February, the
Commision published its
recommendations, which
included: tougher
quarrying regulations:
possible eventual shut-
down of quarries right in
the -Scarp zone;
protective agricultural
legislation for some
farming areas; a scenic
resource designation for
331,000 acres, with
special development
control policies;
restrictions on housing
development along the
shore of Lake Ontario;
further development of
the Bruce Trail; and 754
kilometres (468 miles) of
scenic drives' along the
Escarpment.
The Commission's
recommendations
triggered demonstrations
and letter -writing
campaigns. Con-
servationists supported
the basic aims of the
proposals, but felt they
didn't go far enough.
Landowners along the
Escarpment called for
the abolition of the
Commission.
In May, the provincial
government and the
Commission, responding
to considerable public
pressure, announced that
the Escarpment planning
area would be reduced by
8O percent. New boun-
daries will not, however,
be decided until the end of
this year.
