LANDS SECTION

The uses for public lands are becoming more diversifiec
and more dependent on and related to other areas of publi(
administration. This has led to increased liaison and co
operation with people concerned with public health, wate
pollution, roads and land use planning in other Department:
of Government

More agricultural land is going out of production annually
This trend is illustrated by the very minor demand now fo
public land for farming. Only eight- applications for suet
land received favourable consideration during the year.
Those areas of the Province which are without municipa
organization and where there is a high demand for land fo
residential or other private uses, may be designated as re
stricted areas under the terms of Section 16 of the Publi(
Lands Act. This Section gives to the Minister the authority
to control buildings and other improvements on the land
It has proved to be an effective control in preventing th(
haphazard development of new communities. In collabora
tion with the Department of Municipal Affairs, two nev
restricted areas were established during the year and rea
progress was made toward developing several new town
sites. It is anticipated that there will be a further expansior
in restricted areas next year and there will be considerable
increase in the number of improvement authorizations.
For reasons of sanitation and health it is accepted that <
residential lot without sewer and water services should havt
a minimum area of not less than 15,000 square feet.
Interest in summer cottage lots continued to increase
through the year, and resulted in a pronounced increase ir
the number of sales. Because of comparative scarcity anc
high demand, the few lots which became available withii
150 miles of Toronto were sold by public auction. Public
land suitable for summer cottage development will becomt
increasingly scarce in southern Ontario. The lake develop-,
ment plan program was expanded during the year. WorW
done by the Ontario Land Inventory under the Federal-i
Provincial A.R.D.A. Agreement, has facilitated this progranfij
Increased interest was shown in commercial summer resorlj
properties. There was a steady demand for land for gollj
courses and ski locations and an increased demand fromi
service companies for land for pipelines, power and tele-i
phone lines, radio and television communications. |

There has been an increasing interest in regard to wate^l
lot occupations and ownership of beach lands, particularly
in the older, settled parts of Ontario.

LAND ACQUISITION AND PLANNING SECTION i

Subsequent to the announcement of the Land Acquisition!
program in 1962, this Department has acquired 93,356 acreS|
of land for water access points, district improvements,

p

general recreation (day use), parks, timber management,
wilderness areas, nature reserves and wildlife management

, purposes.

i This year, Treasury Board approved 53 proposals covering

' the acquisition of 71,887.95 acres, and an additional 46

. proposals were approved for the acquisition of 43,329 acres
by the Ontario Parks Integration Board. The number of acres
acquired this fiscal year amounted to 18,845.71, while almost
66,000 acres in total were considered and subsequently
rejected.

A total of 66 leases located in Rondeau and Algonquin Parks
and Wasaga Beach comprising over 25 acres were pur-
chased. Some 715 acres of land were donated to the Crown
for use as park and public recreation areas.
Since the institution of the Federal-Provincial A.R.D.A. Cost-
Sharing Program in 1964-65, the Province has acquired
25,522.15 acres of land under the agreement. This fiscal year
15,694.05 acres of land were acquired in five projects under
the A.R.D.A. Agreement for timber and wildlife management
purposes. Also pending approval, are proposals pertaining
to 10 parks, seven wildlife management areas, and six

' timber management areas.

I At March 31, 1967, some 40 per cent of the lake shore areas

i and all of the inventory for the portion of Ontario below the
43rd parallel has been completed under the Recreation Land

I Inventory sector of the Canada Land Inventory. This capa-
bility inventory will be of great value in determining which

! Crown lands should be reserved for public use, and in
assessing areas of private land which should be purchased

I for public use.

SURVEYS SECTION
CARTOGRAPHY

Work of the Cartographic Subsection is divided into two
areas of endeavour: compilation and production of new and
revised editions of maps; and research, investigation and
application of geographic names to geographical features
in Ontario.

In pursuit of the objective to produce a total of 21 maps in
a provincial topographic series on a scale 1 inch = 2 miles
to cover areas in Northern Ontario, map sheets designated
Hornepayne, Calstock, Taradale, Obakamiga Lake, Timmins
and Gogama were printed. Revised editions of one eight-
mile, one four-mile and three miscellaneous maps were
produced, together with the last in a series of four surficial
geology maps.

Editing of nomenclature on maps produced by federal and
provincial mapping agencies was continued, and more than
600 new geographical names were recommended to the
Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names
I for approval, in addition to names either altered or
' rescinded as a result of toponymy research by field officers
of the Geographical Branch, Department of Energy, Mines
and Resources, Ottawa.
LEGAL SURVEYS

Legal Surveys Subsection carries out drafting and plan
examination, and prepares instructions for surveys carried
out by departmental surveyors, as well as for all surveys
carried out by private surveyors to meet the needs of
the retracement, restoration, subdivision and inspection
programs.

Drafting of area plans, special maps and charts, legal survey
plans resulting from departmental field survey activities,
graphic illustrations, and redrafting of township plans on a
scale 1 inch = 20 chains continued. In addition, the loca-
. tion and extent of all new alienations of Crown land con-
i tinued to be plotted on township or area plans in order to
maintain a graphic illustration of the status of land through-
out the Province.

All plans of survey or plans compiled from available in-
formation leading to any form of alienation of Crown land
were examined for compliance with statutes and depart-
mental policy. These plans included surveyed individual
summer resort, commercial or industrial locations, water
lots and Crown subdivisions. In addition, returns from
surveys carried out under instruction such as retracement,
restoration and municipal surveys, which did not lead to
alienation, were examined for compliance with statutes and
instructions.

Field surveys for administrative purposes were carried out
by field survey crews, with headquarters in Toronto, operat-
ing principally in the northern part of southern Ontario.
These crews were engaged in determination of encroach-
ment on Crown land and extent of ambiguous Crown grants,
retracement, inspection and park surveys, together with
other miscellaneous surveys.
SURVEY RECORDS AND MAP DISTRIBUTION
Custody of survey records and reproduction for sale and
distribution and sale of maps and publications produced by
the Department, as well as sale of maps produced by the
Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, are main
responsibilities discharged by the subsection.
Distribution of the Provincial Topographic Map Series more
than doubled over the previous year, and an increase
occurred in the distribution of map sheets in the National
Topographic Map Series mainly due to an issue of new and
revised sheets in the 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scale
series. It has been noted a decrease in distribution of the
territorial map series takes place as the popularity of the
smaller topographic map series increases, and as new or
updated sheets become available.

The quantity of sensitized reproduction material consumed
for copying various topographic map and township tracings,
Georgian Bay Island map sheets, summer cottage lot sub-
divisions and other miscellaneous plans, as well as sur-
veyors' field notes, by the contact dry process and by photo-
graphic reproduction methods remained approximately the
same as in the previous year.

The number of public inquiries requiring a search of
original plans and field notes of surveys of Crown lands
increased substantially during the year, as people sought
historical information for Centennial projects.

ENGINEERING SECTION

The Engineering Section continues to provide management
of water resources through approval of dams under The
Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act, determination of the
terms and conditions, and preoaration of water power lease
agreements under The Water Power Regulation Act, admini-
stration of licences of occupation for dams constructed
principally for log driving purposes, and administration of
the reconstruction of old dams. In addition, special engin-
eering consultation services were provided in hatchery
design and construction, and fisheries and waterfowl man-
agement projects.
ACCESS ROADS

Some 1,850 miles of forest access roads were maintained
during the fiscal year, which is an increase of 331 miles
over the previous year, and represents an increase of 100
per cent over the total number of miles of road maintained
during the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1964.
The criterion for eligibility for maintenance has not been
broadened to include roads other than those used by the
Department of pursuit of its programs, but has increased
steadily as the Department's capital road construction
program has expanded, and reflects to a degree the new
policy to maintain some abandoned logging roads where it
is in the interest of the Department to do so.

PARKS BFRAIMCH

OBJECTIVES

1. To provide outdoor space in which the people of Ontario
may enjoy the recreational pursuits usually associated
with the natural environment.

2. To establish Provincial Parks to provide outdoor space
where it is needed and to preserve important or unusual
features of natural or historical significance.

3. To reserve areas for future use to meet anticipated
demands.

4. To preserve the natural environment of parks by restrict-
ing practices which would alter the environment, and by
providing only the facilities necessary for the well-being
of park visitors and the enjoyment of outdoor activities.

5. To promote in park visitors an appreciation of park
features and the inspirational enjoyment of nature.

ORGANIZATION

Parks Branch is divided into three sections and their
subordinate units with duties and responsibilities as follows.

RECREATIONAL PLANNING !

Responsible for long range planning for parks and related
public recreational areas and activities, including analysis
and projection of demand, determination of land require-
ments, preparation of provincial and regional recreation
plans and recreation research to provide essential planning
information.

PARK PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Production of detailed Provincial Park master plans and
control of all park development according to an approved
design; planning and control of all park water supplies and
sanitary installations; design and construction control of
all park buildings and structures.
PARK MANAGEMENT

Establishment and control of standards of park operations:
supervision of operating expenditures and revenues; pre-
paration of operation concession agreements; compilation
of park use data.

Interpretive: Establishment, operation and maintenance of
interpretive programs — museums, exhibit centres, illus-
trated talks, conducted trips, interpretive trails and
publications.
PARK USAGE

During the past fiscal year, 92 Provincial Parks were oper-
ated, including three new parks — Arrowhead, Ferris and
North Beach. Approximately 3% million acres of Provincial
Park land was available for the enjoyment of the public. A
further 500,000 acres is designated as reserve for future
development as Provincial Parks.

The 1966 season was the most successful operating season
in the history of Provincial Parks in Ontario. Visitations in-
creased over the previous year by 10 per cent to an all-time
high of 9,791.671. Camper use increased by seven per cent,
providing some 2,653,035 camper days. A total of 994,787
campers were recorded by permit in 1966. Although park
fees remained unchanged, revenue increased some $215,000
to a total of $2,100,000 in 1%6.

PARK DEVELOPMENT

Development appropriations were increased to $2,500,000,
resulting in an additional 1,000 campsites, 23 comfort
stations, 18 trailer dumping stations, eight major water and
sewerage systems, and expanded parking area and beach
development. This expansion took place in existing Pro-
vincial Parks and as part of initial development of four
parks to be opened in the 1967-1968 fiscal year period.

HUNTING IN PARKS

Public hunting was continued in a number of Provincial
Parks in southern Ontario — an area where such grounds
are limited and demand is high. Waterfowl hunting under
licence was permitted in Presqu'ile, Darlington, Holiday
Beach, Long Point and Rondeau. Put and take pheasant
hunting was very popular at Presqu'ile, Darlington and
Sibbald Point parks this year. Hunting is not permitted in
parks except those covered by regulations under The Game
and Fish Act.

u_

MECHANICAL SECTION

Development, improvement and testing of equipment and
instruments to meet special needs of Department.

FISHERIES SECTION

The Department's fisheries research program discovers new
facts and techniques necessary to the scientific manage-
ment of the complex sport and commercial fishery of
Ontario.

Great Lakes Programs

LAKE ONTARIO

In 1965, studies designed to understand factors limiting the
survival of juvenile whitefish were initiated in the laboratory.
The lake trout project, in co-operation with New York State,
has been an attempt to re-establish a self-reproducing
population of this species in the lake.
A walleye project has continued since 1956 to determine
levels of exploitation by anglers and by the commercial
fishery in the Bay of Quinte. Considerable information on
growth, food, mortality and movements has been accumu-
lated.

A project initiated in 1958 and designed to learn something
of the life history and ecology of the American eel during
that part of its life spent in Lake Ontario has continued. This
is of concern because of the possible effect of the St.
Lawrence Seaway installations.

An attempt is being made to establish kokanee — a land-
locked variety of sockeye salmon — as a new species in
Lake Ontario for both commercial and recreational fishery.
In each of the past three years plantings of eyed eggs and
swim-up fry were made. As kokanee are plankton feeders,
it is hoped that they will find the enriched open waters of
Lake Ontario to their liking.

A start was made in 1966 to describe the life history, ecology,
movements and abundance of white perch, which has
quickly become a dominant species in the Bay of Quinte.
In 1966, a staff scientist investigated in Japan the potential
of the Japanese salmons for introduction into Ontario. In
addition to the merits common to the whole genus — high
value and ease of management — two species are fresh
water loving and warm water tolerant, and therefore may be
worthy of trials here.
LAKE ERIE

Smelt and yellow perch have become the principal species
of importance to commercial fishermen in Lake Erie. Most
of the research was on reproduction, distribution and food
of these two species.

Studies on smelt during 1966 concentrated on the problem
of describing the distribution of young-of-the-year to supple-
ment the virtually completed work on distribution of year-
lings and adults. Reproduction was poor, probably because
of a violent storm soon after peak spawning. A general
survey of smelt abundance by area was conducted through-
out the lake during July and August, making use of informa-
tion on vertical distribution that has emerged from past
studies.

The effect of dominant year classes in yellow perch was the
subject of intensive study.

LAKE HURON

The present emphasis of research in Lake Huron is on
whitefish, and the principal concern is the wide variation in
the year class success which causes fluctuations of abund-
ance from year to year. There are several discreet popula-
tions in different parts of the lake which further complicate
the problem. Information is being collected on age, size etc.,
of whitefish caught by various types of gear. One of the
most important results will be the hoped-for ability to fore-
cast catches in subsequent years.

In 1%6, commercial fishermen at Providence Bay reported
taking 16 lake trout x brook trout (splake) which were identi-
fied as being from the 1963 Providence Bay planting. This
catch, added to the 1964 catch of 2,500 fish and the 1965
catch of 839, gives a total of 3,355 of the 1963 planting of
3,500 fish. In June 1966, 50,000 splake yearlings were planted
in Burnt Island Bay, Lake Huron. In South Bay in 1966, 4,000
splake were planted.

The greatly increased planting program of splake in Lake
Huron has followed the gradual improvements in successive
generations of hybrids derived from the research program.
Additional numbers of year classes are in culture and will
come through the selection procedures in subsequent years.
In co-operation with U.S. agencies for the rehabilitation of
the Lake Huron fishery (splake replacement of lake trout),
the final stages are being reached in the testing program.
Real success is largely dependent on the ability of the
hybrids to reproduce naturally.

Game Fish Program

The Harkness Laboratory was operated again in 1966 in
accordance with the terms of the agreement between the
Department of Lands and Forests and the University of
Toronto. The facilities were used by staff and graduates of
the University of Toronto and the Ontario Research
Foundation.

In addition to the continued analysis of long-accumulated
creel census data, projects included experimental plantings,
population dynamics, lake trout biology, and plankton-
feeding versus fish-feeding lake trout. Also, a scientist made
a trip to a number of European countries to investigate the
potential of certain of their fish for introduction to Ontario
waters, particularly the Great Lakes, where conditions due
to water enrichment have changed markedly. Four species
would appear to have real potential.
Studies of natural populations of brook trout were pursued
in 1966 as part of a background against which experimental
results are to be compared. Projects in Algonquin Park lakes
included stocking rate studies using hatchery-reared trout;
plankton and bottom fauna studies; population fluctuations
throughout the year; fish toxicants to remove undesirable
competing species; spawning facilities and planting
techniques.

The smallmouth bass project was activated- in 1966 in Lake-
of-the-Mountain. This is a study of factors, especially sum-
mer water temperatures, which influence the production of
eggs, fry and fingerlings up to the dispersal stage. These
include studies of tagging, first year growth, creel census
data, evaluation of hatchery plantings and sub-lethal effects
of pollutants. Essential laboratory work was conducted at
the nearby Glenora station.

Ecological studies of walleyes in 1966 were pursued at
Baptiste Lake. Emphasis was placed on the factor of light
intensity, which seems to play a major part in determining
the location and activity of walleyes. They were generally
found to be shielded from direct sunlight.

Other Research Programs

The limnology unit continued to co-ordinate meteorological
and hydrographic data collected from the several fisheries
research units with special relation to standardization, and
with particular reference to the Great Lakes — such as of
the thermal regime and zooplankton of South Bay — and
hydrography and phytoplankton of the Bay of Quinte.
The selective breeding program on splake (referred to
previously under Lake Huron) continued to make advances
in 1966, using both laboratory and field studies of more
advanced hybrid generations.

During 1966, the inventory unit continued to assess the
productivity of Ontario lakes, concentrating on factors of
total dissolved solids, alkalinity and turbidity.
A scientist continued to examine parasites collected by field
staff, with the object of eventually determining their effect
on abundance of important fish species.

FORESTRY SECTION

The following is a brief summary of forestry research con-
ducted from Maple headquarters and five permanent
research establishments throughout the Province. In addi-
tion to this, the Research Branch is working co-operatively
with the Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto; the
Ontario Research Foundation; Canada Department of
Forestry; and the wood-using industries of the Province.

Regional Silvicultural Research

It is to be understood that while the following summary is
dealt with under the headings of the several regions of the
Province, in actuality the researchers expand their programs
beyond the boundaries of the regions.
NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO

In 1966, the field program was dominated by re-examination
work on a large number of long-term regeneration and stand
development plots according to their five-year re-measure-
ment schedule. Another important development was the
establishment of a program of research for black spruce —
a species which had not received sufficient research atten-
tion in the past.

One of the re-examination programs continued in 1966 was
concerned with white spruce - balsam fir stands. This study
relates to the long-term effects of diameter limit selective
cutting, mechanical scarification, and conventional versus
mechanical clearcutting. Of especial note is that abundant
white spruce regeneration follows scarification in mixed-
wood stands, but it was found necessary in 1966 to release
this desired crop from re-invading dense underbrush by use
of selected toxicants.

Another study continued to determine the effects of
mechanical clearcutting of all species in jack pine cover
types embracing jack pine, trembling aspen and black
spruce to favour jack pine.

A poplar project was continued to determine the relation-
ship between aspen reproduction of high quality and its
age, site type and density following mechanical cutting
operations.
CENTRAL ONTARIO

Since the start of work in this region in 1959, concentration
has been on laboratory and field studies of problems of tree
nutrition, particularly in spruce species, and studies of the
productivity, ecology and racial variation of red spruce.
The special attention being given to red spruce is because
this species has characteristics which make it very useful
in improving the productivity of derelict tolerant hardwood
and mixedwood stands. The study is designed to measure
growth and productivity of red spruce in poor and mixed
stands on all physiographic sites across its range in
Ontario.

Red spruce has been studied from a number of different
points of view over the past several years. These may be
most easily grouped under three general headings:
Productivity — ecology involving a number of fundamental
aspects, including growth and nutrition.
Taxonomical and genetical relationships within and between
other species, including provenance studies, etc.
Practical applications for management in the near future,
including underplanting studies and assistance in seed
production areas, etc.

One more year should complete the general field work. This
will be followed by a sampling in our rather extensive spruce
provenance plantations.
SOUTH-CENTRAL ONTARIO

The forester in charge of research work in the region was
occupied almost exclusively in furthering the large-scale
planting operations of tubed seedlings by the Timber
Branch. In the late spring and summer of 1966, a number
of tubed seedling production sites in the Districts were
visited in an effort to overcome problems that had arisen in
germinating seed and in growing seedlings. The operational
manual of instructions was revised.

Silvics, Silviculture and Management of Sugar Maple and
associated species. A program was continued on the study
of the ecology of this forest association, and to apply the
knowledge gained in developing appropriate silvicultural
and management procedures for optimum production of
high quality hardwood timber.

One project may be selected for mention here: research into
the problems of production of high quality sugar maple.
During 1966-67, additional information was gathered on tree
quality and diameter distribution in a number of different
stands as a basis for developing controlled methods of
improvement cutting. A broad program of cutting is planned
to cover the variations which occur in quality, stocking and
species composition in various stands.
Part of the work initiated in this project has followed an
evolutionary shift toward a more fundamental framework
and has been relocated at Maple headquarters. Objectives
of this study involve the dynamics of mineral stains, decay
and tree form defects in sugar maple.

SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO

Research in this region aims to suggest good forest man-
agement practices on stands most of which are in private
ownership and have become derelict. Particular attention
was given in 1966 to the propagation and cultural treatment
of silver maple and eastern Cottonwood, largely to replace
the heavy mortality in elm from the Dutch elm disease.
Studies were continued in 1966 of these two species, which
are about the only commercial trees capable of growing in
the swamps of southwestern Ontario. These included growth,
thinning and planting studies, as well as the mass produc-
tion of phenotypes vegetatively by budding, layering and
cuttings.

Work continued on the establishment of such species as red
oak, basswood, hybrid poplar, large-toothed aspen and white
and red pine.

Research was also furthered in the use of herbicides, silvi-
cides and soil sterilants, as well as in maple sap and syrup
productivity.

SOUTHEASTERN ONTARIO

Research in this region has been primarily concerned with
the ecology of the tolerant hardwood association, especially
the treatment of cutover stands to improve quality. The
principal projects are prescribed burning and the silvics of
basswood.

The objective of the prescribed burning project is to deter-
mine the effects of fire in hardwood stands to improve
regeneration. Studies have been undertaken in four areas
which have met with varying degrees of success. While re-
examination of plots on several of these areas will be con-
tinued, it has been suggested that the use of prescribed
fire in hardwoods should be studied on an operational scale
where realistic appraisal of its potential can be made.
The objective of the basswood project is to determine the
possibility of increasing the proportion of this high quality,
fast-growing species in hardwood associations, particularly
with maple. Studies were continued on fruit and seed relat-
ing to successful germination; natural regeneration after
various treatments; results of planting nursery stock; and
the management in general of hardwood stands with bass-
wood admixture.

A Research Information Paper was published in 1966 on
one aspect of the planting on shallow lands in the Kempt-
ville district.

Maple Headquarters Research

REFORESTATION

Nursery and Planting: The objective of this program is the
procurement of information through research for the
scientific advancement of the reforestation program of the
Department. The work was initiated in 1953 with the chief
areas of attention being nursery operations, handling of
shipping stock, planting methods, frost damage to planta-
tions, and fertilization. Work was continued on the following
projects in the year 1966-67. (The figures in brackets indi-
cate the years in which the projects were started.)
Culling and grading of nursery stock (1953); depths and
methods of planting (1948); seedlings vs transplants (1957);
moisture retaining materials (1955); nursery stock field stor-
age (1956); wrapping materials (1956); methods of planting
for underplanting (1955); Dunemann planting stock (1955);
root pruning of nursery stock (1957); nutrient correlations
(1%4); adjustment of soil acidity (1959); frost studies (1962);
ecotypical variation in black spruce (1959); planting through-
out the growth season (1951); studies of planting check
(I960); hormone studies (1962); drought studies (1%5); root
coating (1966); seedbed densities (1966); and forest fertiliza-
tion (1958).

TREE BREEDING

The aim of forest tree breeding is to supply seed and plant
materials that, from a genetic standpoint, are best suited
for the purposes of artificial forest regeneration. These
studies were initiated in 1946 and are comprised principally
of white pine and poplar projects.

The main objectives in white pine breeding are resistance
to blister rust and weevil, and satisfactory growth form and
growth rate. The program has been continued since 1946.
Intensive acquisition of breeding materials, mainly exotics,
has been in progress throughout. Present emphasis on
interspecific hybridization is producing rust-resistant
materials of direct use-value.

The poplar breeding program, initiated in 1947, aims to
produce aspen-like hybrids, suitable for growing in southern
Ontario, having good growth rate and growth form, good
wood and ease of vegetative propagation. At present, the
main objective is the production of new hybrids with good
rooting ability from stem cuttings.

The principal aim of the breeding program in hard pines was
primarily, at the time of its initiation in 1952, to find resist-
ance to the pine shoot moth. Recently, the objective has
changed toward production of a red pine-like tree, superior
in growth rate, branching habit, resistance to shoot moth,
and adaptability to red pine sites.

A spruce breeding program was started in 1964 to determine
the genetic variability of the native spruce species, the
genetic relationships of native and exotic species and the
value of certain spruce hybrids. Controlled pollinations with
black spruce, white spruce and several exotic species were
continued in 1966.

WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST SURVEY
The blister rust work, which has been continued by the
Research Branch since 1942, is designed to obtain quanti-
tative data on the occurrence of rust and rust damage at
selected stations. Such data may be used to characterize
epidemic conditions and as an aid to prognosis.
In 1966, the second and fifth periodic examinations were
made in the North Bay and Pembroke Districts respectively.
WOOD QUALITY

The purpose of the studies of wood quality is to define the
specific physical and chemical wood characteristics which
contribute to superior quality in end- use products, and to
relate these characteristics to heritable and environmental
factors. A wood quality unit is established in the Research
Branch, and the Ontario Research Foundation receives an
annual grant from the Department for making pulping and
other tests on wood samples provided them.
To date, work has concentrated on black spruce.
The Ontario Research Foundation did work in 1966 in three
areas: wood structure related to paper quality, black spruce
wood quality in mature stands, and effects of extractives on
wood quality. Complementary work by the Research Branch
included determination of mean specific gravity, determina-
tion of compression wood percentage, and comparisons of
tree hole density and core samples.
SITE

The objective of the site research program is to determine
the productivity of land. Consequently, work has been
directed toward obtaining knowledge pertaining to the
relationships between soils, climates, and crops, and to
organize this information into a classification system adapt-
able to various types of management, with the forest being
the major crop considered. Much of the effort of the site
research unit in 1967 was concerned with the ARDA pro-
gram, especially in map production, which will be reported
elsewhere. The general sub-divisions of the work as a whole
come under the headings of regional, factorial and land
productivity research.

Regional site research was continued in 1966-67 comprising
the recognition, classification, mapping and description of
physiographic sites, as well as the determination of natural
vegetation succession, including the initial evaluation of the
potential productivity of the more important sites.
Two projects which were completed in 1965 may be selected
for reference: field and laboratory investigations of the dis-
tribution of the parent soil materials on the Canadian Shield
south of the Ottawa River; mapping the land units of the
Swastika District to provide District staff with an ecological
framework for their land use plans.

In 1966, further progress was made in factorial site research
which was developed from the need in regional site researci
for a better understanding of soil and climatic factors which
influence forest growth.

Field and laboratory nutrient studies have dealt with such
subjects as the release from minerals of calcium and dilute
sulphuric acid, especially relating to uptake by jack pine
from three types of sand; availability of nitrogen and phos-
phorous through processes in the forest humus rather than
by weathering of mineral materials; and studies in soil
genesis dealing with the influence of the forest on the soil.
The research program dealing with water as a site factor
is continuing and includes the assessment of the effects of
moisture regimes on forest growth within specific climatic
regions. Several programs which received particular atten-
tion in 1966 may be mentioned: comparison of soil moisture
and current radial growth with and without irrigation: the
influence of various moisture supplies and growth of red
pine, white spruce and larch seedlings.
Most of the timber productivity part of the research in 1966
was conducted in co-operation with other agencies and
related to red pine plantations and hard maple woodlots.
FOREST MENSURATION

Growth and yield studies in 1966 included measurements on
permanent sample plots, in red pine plantations and in
natural stands of red and white pine; construction of im-
proved tree volume tables, and improved methods of timber
estimating. Statistical and advisory services were rendered
to research foresters in tree breeding, reforestation and
silviculture, with particular reference to height and diameter
growth. Consultants in statistics and computer programming
assisted in all of the foregoing work.
MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS

A specialist in statistical analysis and computer program-
ming provided services which included consultations on,
and participation in, planning, designing, analyzing and
interpreting the results obtained from experiments, as well
as from collections of data by numerous investigators. Most
of these services were rendered to the several sections of
the Research Branch, but some were made use of by other
Branches of the Department and co-operating agencies. In
addition to providing sampling systems and computer pro-
gramming, the services included much data processing.

FOREST ECONOMICS

A research staff forestry economist advised and assisted
on several forestry projects including the economics relat-
ing to plantation forests of red and white pine; the prepara-
tion of yield tables for plantation-grown red pine and white
spruce; and the design of a system for orderly maintenance
for newly established sample plots for growth and yield
studies. In addition, the economist participated in a feasi-
bility study which was related to the establishment of pulp
and paper manufacture in the Red Lake area.
FOREST PROTECTION

Studies were initiated in the evaluation and development of
fire prevention methods, fire control systems, and reduction
of hazards; testing and development of insect and disease
control methods.

Dr. W. R. Haddow retired from service after 44 years with
the Department — 25 years in Research.

WILDLIFE SECTION

Wildlife research has been directed toward the futhering of
our knowledge of economically important birds and mam-
mals, and to suggest means by which these could be of
greater value to the trapper, hunter, naturalist, and the
general public. Research projects have been developed
around most of the major species of wildlife which provide
sustenance or sport in Ontario.

Close co-operation is maintained between Research per-
sonnel and the staff of the Fish and Wildlife Branch. Wild-
life research personnel have also benefited greatly by their
close working relationships with scientists in other govern-
ment departments, universities, and research organizations.
Within the Wildlife Research Section there are units con-
cerned with furbearing animals, wildlife diseases and para-
sites, upland game and waterfowl, big game, and predators.
While the Southern Research Station serves as a base
headquarters, most of the work is done in the field — across
the Province and north from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay.
A Wildlife Research Station, located in Algonquin Park,
serves as a centre for some field studies.
FURBEARERS

The management of populations of furbearing animals is
probably more complex than for other species of wildlife.
Essentially, there are two groups of factors influencing the
production of fur: socio-economic and biological. To date,
furbearer research has been chiefly concerned with biologi-
cal factors affecting fur production.

Research is continuing on the dynamics of beaver popula-
tions and the influence of various factors including trapoing
pressure. The program in the Patricia Central and West
portions of northern Ontario, initiated in 1957, is to deter-
mine the factors responsible for wide fluctuations in
northern beaver populations, and to recommend manage-
ment practices which would increase numbers of beaver.
Analysis of field data collected on otter showed that their
movements were confined to smaller areas than was pre-
viously supposed. Also, their food consists entirely of
aquatic organisms with game fish comprising a very small
part of these.

Other ecological and population studies were continued on
marten and mink.

WILDLIFE DISEASES AND PARASITES

This unit is responsible for the identification of diseases
and parasites, and the assessment of their frequency, inci-
dence, distribution and effects. Research staff provided a
diagnostic service to field staff, it) conjunction with the
continuing survey of diseases and parasites of wildlife. The
use by field staff of a recently prepared manual on this
subject greatly assisted this project.
Studies to determine the status of the kidney worm in mink,
and the diseases and parasites of moose were continued.
In 1966, the red fox was still the most important wildlife
vector of rabies in Ontario. However, it is still almost absent
from some parts of the Lake Erie district. The reasons for
this are not known, but it is apparent that some unknown
factors in the environment are restricting rabies epizootics
among wildlife there. Studies of this situation may provide
the answers.

UPLAND GAME AND WATERFOWL

Grouse, pheasants, rabbits, squirrels and other species of
smaller birds and mammals (commonly known as upland
game) ducks and geese, provide sport for more hunters in
Ontario than all other wildlife species combined.
Of considerable concern in the management of grouse and
geese are their taxonomic relationships and behavorial
characteristics. Research continued in various species and
sub-species of grouse and Canada geese, both in Ontario
and elsewhere, with the ultimate objective of discovering
whether a biologic tag that could be used at any time of the
year to determine the origin and distribution of discreet
populations could be found. Preliminary results are promis-
ing in identifying individuals from specific populations.
Research on waterfowl was confined to the development
and testing of a method to determine the annual breeding
success of Canada and snow geese in northern Ontario.
BIG GAME

Big game research, which is mostly of an ecological nature,
is conducted on deer, moose and woodland caribou. Data
were again collected in 1966 from the network of stations
established to record snow depth — probably the most
severe factor affecting survival and distribution of deer.
Major logging activity during the 1850-1910 period resulted
in residual stands that were favourable to deer until re-
cently. Much of this forest has again become too mature
for deer. Research is concentrating on learning to create an
optimum balance between deer and timber crops.
There is an abundance of moose in Ontario. Management
problems centre around poor access over the moose range
as a whole, and a consequent under-harvest of the expand-
ing populations.

The research task is to identify and measure the forces of
the environment that are preventing the caribou populations
from expanding to a range area apparently several times
larger than which they now occupy. Caribou are an import-
ant source of food and clothing for northern Indians.
PREDATOR RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT
During 1966, the wolf predator control program has been
directed to training fur-trapping licencees to accept the
responsibility for control of their trap lines. Extensive pro-
grams of this nature were implemented in the Parry Sound
and Pembroke Districts. There are tentative plans to carry
out similar extension training programs in other districts
where it would be considered necessary. Wolf censusing is
being continued over areas where hunter success with
respect to deer has declined over recent years, in order
that predator control measures may be effected if the
situation warrants it.

Research on timber wolves and their effects on prey popu-
lations in Parry Sound District were continued. Also pre-
liminary populations studies on black and polar bears were
conducted.

of June, 1967, amendments were made to five statutes
administered by the Department.
THE FORESTRY AMENDMENT ACT, 1967
The definition of "forestry purposes" was amended to pro-
vide that the term includes the production of wood and
wood products, provision of proper environmental conditions
for wildlife, protection against floods and erosion, recreation,
and protection and production of water supplies.
THE GAME AND FISH AMENDMENT ACT, 1967
Subsection 3 of Section 6 of The Game and Fish Act, 1961-62,
was re-eriacted to provide for management agreements with
owners of land respecting hunting and fishing rights, habitat

grams, fencing and erection of signs and other management
practices. On registration, such agreements are binding
upon subsequent owners.

Subsection 8 of Section 34 of the Act was amended to pro-
vide that holders of a class of licence designated by the
regulations shall wear a badge which clearly shows the
number of the licence. Section 83 of the Act was amended
to provide for regulations designating such licences.
THE PUBLIC LANDS AMENDMENT ACT, 1967
Section 43 of The Public Lands Act was amended by adding
two subsections which provide for the entering into of
agreements with owners of land respecting the erection,
maintenance and operation thereon of a public work within
the meaning of The Public Works Act and provide that upon
registration, such agreements are binding upon subsequent
owners.

THE SURVEYS AMENDMENT ACT, 1967
Section 60 of The Surveys Act was amended by adding a
clause which authorizes the making of regulations estab-
lishing, governing and regulating systems of co-ordinate
surveys.

THE TREES AMENDMENT ACT, 1967

CONSERVATION INFORMATION SECTION

During the past fiscal year, the Section worked through
many media to disseminate information on the protection
and management of the renewable, natural resources under
the Department's administration.

Releases

Every week, the Lands and Forests news release circulated
Department news and regulations and informed opinion in
a form easily adapted by outside agencies. The mailing list
of 3,500 included all newspapers, broadcasting stations and
outdoor writers in Ontario, as well as magazines, trade
papers, forest industries, conservation groups, and hunters'
and anglers' clubs and associations. Ontario's tourist trade
was assisted by the use of news release material by writers
and commentators outside the Province. Each release
carried a list of coming events of interest to recreational.

scientific and industrial groups in fields touching on the
Department's administration. The French translation of the
news release had a weekly circulation of 155.
News of more than normal urgency was supplied directly
to important news outlets by press releases.
Special appeals were prepared for news media in season to
enlist public support of Lands and Forests programs, prin-
cipally in forest fire prevention and hunter safety.
Editorial services for outside agencies increased the con-
centration of conservation messages. Articles and back-
ground material were prepared on request. Speech material
was prepared for Department personnel invited to address
public meetings.

Services

The Photograph Library loaned 9,500 black-and-white prints
and 1,000 colour transparencies to newspapers and maga-
zines during the year. Section photographers took photo-
graphs on assignment and supplied prints from the dark-
room at short notice. Sets of slides or prints were supplied
on request to illustrate lectures. The library now has 35,000
negatives and 4,700 colour transparencies.
During the year, 35,300 answers were returned by mail to
persons requesting information on C-'own lands, outdoor
recreation, nature study, forest industry and forest tree
planting. In addition, numerous requests were answered by
telephone.

The Reference Library circulated periodicals and press
clippings.

To call for tenders on timber cutting, etc., 228 advertise-
ments were placed in 46 newspapers during the year.

"RENEWING NATURE'S WEALTH"

To place important facts on record before they were lost
to knowledge or contemporary interpretation, the Depart-
ment had long planned to publish a history of natural
resources and their administration from the earliest days.
Preliminary research work was done by Branches under the
direction of the History Committee formed in 1963. The
committee was guided by the advice of Professor J. M. S.
Careless, Head of the History Department, University of
Toronto.

Early in 1965, the Department contracted for the services
of the author, Richard S. Lambert, M.A. (Wadham College,
Oxford), the winner of the Governor-General's medal for
juvenile literature in 1949 and the author of 30 books in-
cluding five history texts approved for use in Ontario
schools. Mr. Lambert shared the authorship with Paul
Pross, M.A. (Queen's), Ph.D. (Toronto). Research work was
assisted by a team of graduate history students from the
University of Toronto.

"Renewing Nature's Wealth, A Centennial History of the
Public Management of Lands, Forests and Wildlife in
Ontario" was presented to the public in June, 1967, by Prime
Minister John P. Robarts.

The 648-page volume was printed by Hunter Rose Company
Limited, Toronto. The bulk of the 10,000 press run was dis-
tributed through book stores at $9.50 per copy by Copp Clark
Publishing Company, Toronto.

CONSERVATION EDUCATION SECTION

Conservation Education Section conducts an educational
program which consists of the type of appeals calculated
to attract public interest and explain in easily understand-
able terms the need for the wise use of renewable, natural
resources.

VISUAL EDUCATION

The Sections' film library contains 233 titles, with two or
more prints of many of the titles. All films are available for
loan to field offices upon request. During the year approxi-
mately 1,350 films were shipped to field offices in answer
to requests received. Each district has its own projector and
it has access to regional film libraries as well as head office
film library.

The Section loaned 16mm. motion picture projectors, 35mm.
slide projectors, screens and films to Provincial Parks offer-
ing an interpretative program to the public during the
summer months.

During the year, the following films were added to head
office and field film libraries:

Black Duck
Boreal Forest
Canada Goose
Conservation & The
Balance of Nature

Squeak, the Squirrel
The Pond
The Tree
Trout Stream
Whitethroat

Deer Family of North America Wonders in a Country Stream
Forests For The Future Wood Duck Ways

Several thousand feet of motion picture film are available
and being used by televjsion outlets in Ontario. In addition,
a set of 15 one-minute television shorts entitled "Do You
Know?" were made available to the television stations.
Enough stock film footage was taken to assist in making a
start to a new nJrsery film entitled •"Seeds to Trees".
RADIO AND TELEVISION

Radio and television stations throughout the Province have
been most generous in their donations of free time to the
Department, and Districts regularly take advantage of these
opportunities to reach the public. In addition to radio pro-
grams, several Districts now conduct regular, live television
broadcasts of their own. This Section also supplies Districts
with films for use on television.
EXHIBITS

Visual conservation appeals are featured in the Depart-
ment's exhibits at many of the shows and fairs in Ontario.
The major exhibits handled through this Section were as

follows:

Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto: The exhibit in the
Ontario Government Building included sport fishes, snakes,
animals and birds of Ontario with educational material on
each. Other displays featured available lands for recreation,
hunter safety training, a scale model of a burning forest fire
showing the methods of forest fire fighting and the equip-
ment used, a scale model of a typical Provincial Park and a
display featuring the story of "seed to tree." The Conserva-
tion Poster Contest for elementary school children from six
to 14 years of age was held again this year. A Grand Prize
of $100.(X) was presented for the best poster. First, second
and third prizes, in each of three age groups, in the amounts
of $50.00, $25.00 and $15.00 were awarded. 30 "Honourable
Mentions", ten in each age group, were presented with
books.

Canadian National Sportsmen's Show, Toronto: This exhibi

featured the fish and wildlife pavilion. Snakes, surveys

forest protection, parks, hunter safety, fur and timber wen

also displayed.

Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa: Display consisted o

animals, birds and the "Seed to Tree" story.

Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Toronto: The largest of ou

displays at the Royal so far which featured the story o

reforestation from the initial stages — i.e., cones, seeds

seedlings, through shipping to the woodlot owner and th(

proper planting methods. Also featured this year was th(

animal section of the pavilion, 16 cages of animals anc

birds, and a hunter safety display.

Full co-operation was also given to District Offices partici

pating in sportsmen's shows and agricultural fairs such a;

the Western Fair at London, the International Plowing Matc^

at Seaforth, the Timmins Sportsmen's Show and thf

Chatham Sportsmen's Show.

LECTURE TOURS

The Department kept in touch with the public through fish

and game association, schools, church groups, service clubs

and youth organizations. Illustrated lectures were given or

all aspects of the Department's work. Much progress was

made with programs at boys' and girls' summer camps ir

the Georgian Bay area.

The Department's head office and field staff presented 2,57f

lectures to audiences totalling 209,502 during the past fisca

year. Ontario Forestry Association personnel gave 1,06?

lectures in meetings attended by 29,965.

ACCIDENT CONTROL SECTION
THE LOGGERS' SAFETY ACT

Inspection of logging operations and investigation of acci-
dents have been carried out by the Department's 10 Acci-
dent Control officers.

During 1966, approximately 824 inspections of logging
operations were made and it was found necessary to apply
seven "stop work" orders and many warnings for infringe-
ments of the said Act. Accident Control officers in the field
attended approximately % meetings having regard to the
application and enforcement of the Act, and to stress the
value of .safety education in the logging industry. During the
year 15 fatalities were reported and investigated, plus 2,28fi
non-fatal accidents.

A program of safety education, including safety awards and
seminars for foremen and supervisors in the logging indus-l
try, has been proposed and is being considered. By this
means it is hoped that the accident frequency rate in this
industry will be reduced.

HUNTER SAFETY TRAINING PROGRAM

Designed to teach hunters safe and proper gun handling,
this program was initiated in the fall of 1957 on a voluntary
basis. Game and fish clubs agreed to supply instructors and
teach the course to young hunters. In remote areas where
there are no clubs, the teaching is the responsibility of the
Department.

Applications for instructors are screened and approved at
District offices. Training material is then sent, followed by
a brassard from head office. Instructors' workshops are held
frequently, where problems can be solved, policy explained
and new teaching methods demonstrated. Available to clubs
on loan are films, slides, and defective firearms for use in
classroom demonstrations. District offices supply instruc-
tors with manuals, literature, registration cards, report
cards, certificates of competence, safety posters, etc.
Instructors are covered by liability insurance for personal
and property damage.

Game and fish clubs instruct approximately 54 per cent of
the students, the remainder being instructed in organiza-
tions such as Boy Scouts, service clubs, cadet corps,
Canadian Legion, etc.

In 1966, 19,342 students graduated compared to 17,577 in
1965, making a total of 121,953 graduates since the program
was commenced in 1957.

Statistics of hunting accidents show a total of 130 (13 fatal,
117 non-fatal) for 1966.
SAFETY IN PROVINCIAL PARKS

Accident Control officers make frequent inspections during
the season in Provincial Parks reporting on unsafe condi-
tions and hazardous objects that might prevail when people
congregate. The findings are brought to the attention of the
park superintendent or District Forester for remedial
action. The safety section is not responsible for the beach
patrol maintained by the Parks Branch.

During the months July to September, the Department
sponsored a "Water Safety Demonstration" program pre-
sented by the Ontario Safety League. The demonstrations
were given in most of the 92 provincial parks and were
viewed by more ♦han 150,000 during 1966.
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION

Workmen's Compensation costs and the number of claims
submitted have increased for the fiscal year. The total
number of compensable claims was 588, an increase of 21
over that for the previous fiscal year. Total cost of Depart-
ment claims was $171,315.47, an increase of $26,642,76.
Average cost per claim was $159.00, an increase of $41.00
per claim.

Increased costs can be attributed mainly to higher wages
being paid in 1966-67, upon which workmen's compensation
was computed. Current medical aid and compensation in-
creased by $18,928.52. Pensions, and medical aid plus
compensation pertaining thereto, increased by $5,567.63.
There were 20 high cost claims totalling $43,634.78, account-
ing for 53 per cent of the total cost of medical aid and
compensation.

Cost of fire fighting increased by approximately $600.00.
A greater number of junior rangers were employed. Injury
claims increased by 35, and cost of all junior ranger per-
sonnel increased by $6,905.78.

Average number of employees increased by 461 but .5 per
cent fewer employees were injured.

There was one death in the fiscal year, but the deceased
was single and a pension was not required. Three new
pensions commenced in the fiscal year and were made
retroactive to 1965.

FOREST PROTECTION BPRANCH

OBJECTIVES

1. To protect Provincial forest lands against damage by fire
and pests to the degree warranted by requirements for
wood products, recreation and other public needs.

2. To protect life and property from forest fires.

3. To encourage and promote the protection of privately-
owned forest lands.

4. To provide flying and communication services and to
administer the construction and equipment program for
the Department.

ORGANIZATION

Forest Protection Branch is divided into two Sections and
their subordinate units with duties and responsibilities as
follows.

FOREST PROTECTION

Forest Fire Control: Administration of The Forest Fires
Prevention Act; organization of fire districts and the fire
warden system; supervision of fire control planning and
preparedness; fire prevention programs including a system
of travel, fire and work permits; co-operative fire prevention

ance of aircraft.

FOREST FIRE PROTECTION
Forest Fire Control
THE 1966 FIRE RECORD

During the 1966 season, 1.921 forest fires occurred in
Ontario, burning 14,415 acres. Although this is the fifth
highest number of fires recorded since the year 1917, th.
acreage burned was the fourth lowest over the same perioc
of time.

The average area burned per fire of 7.5 acres is the second
lowest recorded and only surpassed by the 1959 average fire
size of 5.0 acres.
STATISTICS

The month of July shattered all records since 1936 for the
most fires occurring in any one month. A total of 906 fires
started during this month.

The trend to higher fire occurrence continued in 1966. The
average incidence over the past five years of 1,674 fires is
28 per cent greater than the previous five year average of
1,304 fires.
FIRE PREVENTION

On July 29th 1966, a historical plaque was unveiled near
Matheson, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the
forest fires which ravaged Matheson and other neighbouring
communities during July 1916. This program was carried
out in co-operation with the Ontario Forestry Association.
The Matheson fire of 1916 is the worst in recorded Canadian
history, taking a total of 223 lives.
FIRE DETECTION

As part of a fire detection improvement program, further
infrared detection trials were conducted in 1966. Unfortun-
ately, the modified system was not available for field testing
until late in August of 1966. The system was mounted on the
wing-tip of a Turbo-Beaver aircraft and test-flown for a two
week period in Northwestern Ontario. One wildfire (approxi-
mately 200 acres) was flown and mapped while increasing
in size and during the mop-up and patrol stage. The film
results were good. In addition, a lightning fire was dis-
covered for the first time by this system before being
reported by any other reporting agency. It is planned to
operate this unit for the complete 1967 fire season for
further evaluation.

An aircraft detection study, initiated in Sault Ste. Marie
District in 1963, was expanded to include two additional
areas of approximately 2,000 square miles each in the
vicinity of Kenora and Temagami. Within the two new study
areas the regular detection system functioned normally and
independantly from the aircraft system. Although results
were favourable, additional studies are required before the
system can be considered operational.
TRAINING

Some 260 Department personnel have now completed the
intensive five-week fire suppression instructor training
course. Graduates of this course carried out individual
District and Division training programs. Reduced fire losses
and improved management of fire fighting operations have
been experienced as a result of the program.
Approximately 300 Indians received a 10-day fire suppression
training course. This force was organized into 10 or 15-man
crews, and maintained at key headquarters across the
Province for the duration of the fire season.
A short training course was developed on law enforcement
and fire investigation procedures as they apply to the
Forest Fires Prevention Act.

p

One five-day introductory course was conducted for 12 field
supervisory staff on "Synoptic Scale Weather Phenomenon".
The course was designed to familiarize personnel with
weather phenomena as they are related to lofcal fire
conditions.

A training film was produced during 1966 covering the sett-
ing up of motor pumps and handling of hose by nozzle
crews.

The preparation of a programmed learning booklet on the
subject of "Fire Behaviour" was initiated during the latter
part of 1%6. This approach to training allows each person
to learn at his own individual rate. Further applications of
this technique will be considered after the initial effort is
fully tested and assessed.
EQUIPMENT

During 1966, a combination sferics-radar system was used
to plot lightning storm movement in northwestern Ontario.
The objective was to delineate areas requiring intensified
detection coverage. Results were encouraging and evalua-
tion work with a full-time summer student and an improved
sferics installation will be continued during 1967. This study
will be tied in closely with evaluation work on airborne
infrared detection equipment.
AIR OPERATIONS

The water bombing systems, designed late in 1965 for the
Department by Field Aviation, is now completely operational.
The system was designed to give the option of using plain
water or "Gelgard" additive. Several Otters, equipped with
the system, operated during the 1966 fire season and were
very successful in their water drop operations. Test pattern
analysis carried out by the National Research Council,
Flight Research Section and Department of Lands and
Forests personnel indicate a pattern of approximately 165 x
25 feet with a concentration of 5.2 gallons per 100 s.f. or an
average of 0.1" over the pattern. Recovery was 75 per cent,
which compares favourably with previous tests.
At the present time, a similar system is being produced for
use in Turbo-Beaver aircraft and it is expected that 10 Otter
and 15 Turbo-Beaver aircraft will be operational by the
Spring of 1967. In addition, an integral float system will be
developed and installed in a Twin Otter aircraft in 1967.
The anticipated maximum load is about 400 gallons. This
development greatly improves the performance of the
smaller water bombing aircraft and eliminates the special
water tanks that were formerly required.
An air operations study has been initiated to provide guide-
lines to the present and long term development of the Air
Service. The type of aircraft, numbers, mix, deployment and
management will be considered in the study.
PRESCRIBED BURNING

21 prescribed burns were carried out in 1966, covering a
total of 4,535 acres. 19 of these burns were carried out in
conifer logging slash. The object of the majority of the
burns was to prepare the sites for planting, and at the same
time reduce the hazard by the elimination of slash. One
burn was carried out to prepare seedbeds for natural
regeneration and three were conducted to eliminate fire
hazards. Two experimental burns irr hardwood were carried
out as part of a continuing hardwood regeneration project.
GENERAL DEVELOPMENTS

The provincial nozzle crew competition was held again in
1966 with much enthusiasm shown by field staff. This year's
award was won by a crew from White River district.

Forest Pest Control

SURVEYS

Each year this Department participates in the Ontario
portion of the Canada-wide forest insect and disease survey
of the Federal Government. Detailed information concerning
the occurrence and distribution of specific insects and
diseases is contained in the survey's annual report. Atten-
tion is drawn here to a few well-known pests of special
interest.

For the third consecutive year, there have not been any
serious spruce budworm infestations in Ontario, although
the insect was found without difficulty in many locations.
A few scattered light infestations occurred across northern
Ontario, and the moderately heavy infestation of long
standing in a white spruce plantation in the Uxbridge Forest
persisted in 1%6.

The jack pine budworm, a close relative of the spruce bud-
worm, which has not been a serious problem in Ontario for
almost 30 years, occurred in epidemic numbers in 1966 in
the western part of the Kenora and Fort Frances Districts,
and at scattered locations as far east as Manitoulin Island.
This insect has caused noticeable defoliation in parts of
northwestern Ontario for the past few years, but the
increases in 1966 may be more significant.
The most spectacular insect in many parts of Ontario's
forest for the past five years has been the forest tent cater-
pillar. In 1966, this insect declined in Ontario as a whole.
Partly as a result of unfavourable spring weather, the
infestation virtually collapsed in northwestern Ontario and
in the Kapuskasing District, where it had covered 35,000
square miles the previous year. In central and southern
Ontario, the infestation occurred in widely scattered loca-
tions from Sault Ste. Marie to Kemptville, and there was a
small increase in the total area affected. Epidemics of the
insect appear every 10 or 12 years, but very little permanent
damage is done to the deciduous trees.
Populations of the larch sawfly continued to increase in
northern Ontario and to decline in the northeastern and
southern portions of the Province. In keeping with rising
populations of the insects on the Prairies, defoliation was
most noticeable in the Kenora and Fort Frances Districts.
In southern Ontario, high populations of the insect were
confined mostly to plantations of European larch.
The European pine sawfly — an insect native to Europe
which entered Ontario via Windsor about 1940 — continued
to spread and increase in severity. The insect feeds princi-
pally on Scots, red and jack pines. During 1966, the eastern
boundary of its occurrence extended eastward about 10
miles and is now a line roughly from Waubaushene to
Orillia, Lindsay and to Brighton on Lake Ontario. An isolated
outbreak also exists in Belleville. Last year, the insect was
reported for the first time in Manitoulin Island. A special
effort is being made to control its numbers on the island in
order to delay spread to the mainland.
The most noticeable tree disease in Ontario is the Dutch
elm disease. The range of occurrence of the disease
remained as reported in 1965, but the rate of mortality in
elms increased greatly in many localities of southern
Ontario.

For several years, young plantations of red and jack pines
in the Kirkwood Forest have suffered high mortality and
establishment of young stands has been very difficult. In
1962, the destructive organism responsible for this problem
was identified as the Scleroderris canker. High disease
losses attributed to this canker in several plantations, as
well as in the Thessalon and Swastika nurseries, prompted
a special effort in 1966 to determine the extent of the
disease in the Province. It was found to occur frequently
in young red and jack pine plantations in north-central and

north-eastern Ontario, but to be practically absent from
northwestern and southern Ontario. Further studies will be
conducted to determine the potential impact of the disease
on the reforestation program.
CONTROL

For the past few years, the forest insect causing greatest
economic damage has been the white pine weevil. Control
methods during 1%6 involved spraying with knapsack
sprayers, using helicopters and hand clipping and burning
infested leading shoots. A total of 2.800 acres of young
white pine were treated.

Slightly over 4,200 acres of plantations were sprayed from
the ground and air with chemicals for control oif sawflies —
principally the red-headed pine sawfly and the European
pine sawfly. An insecticidal virus was also sprayed to control
the European pine sawfly. In an effort to avoid hazardous
side-effects of DDT in rural areas, especially among fish, the
Department initiated and co-ordinated a project with private
tree farmers using the insecticide phosphamidon, applied
by helicopter. Results were satisfactory and the method is
expected to become standard practice.
About 650 acres of sod-covered sites were treated for control
of white grubs, as well as small acreages of similar sites for
control of mice, where these pests threaten the survival
of newly planted trees.

The major tree-killing disease in the forests of Ontario is
the blister rust of white pine. A substantial disease-control
program, which is part of the broader intensive management
of white pine, has been in progress for many years. The
disease is controlled by using the herbicide 2.4,5-T to kill
the obligate host plants, wild currants and gooseberries, in
the immediate vicinity of the pines. In 1966, more than 3,300
acres of high-value young pine stands were protected
against the blister rust in parts of the Sault Ste. Marie,
North Bay, Tweed, Kemptville and Lake Huron Districts.
The relatively new disease of plantations in southern Ontario
— fomes root rot — is now prevented through the applica-
tion of a chemical to the freshly cut surface of stumps

during thinning operations. About 500 acres of thinnings
were treated in 1966.

In an effort to provide additional skilled labour for removal
of diseased elm trees, the Department initiated and co-
ordinated an interdepartmental project to train Indian young
men for this work, 55 of whom completed the course. Any
further training projects will be initiated only after a com-
plete evaluation of the results achieved.

Communications

A small increase (eight per cent) was recorded in radio-
grams sent and received over the radio system in 1966, with
117,845 messages totalling 5,470,564 words being sent. Seven
more VHF radio installations were added to the system
located at Nipigon, Copper Lake, Kingston, Alexandria and
Lanark and bringing the total to 177 points served.
Major equipment acquisitions included 30 VHF mobile
radiotelephone installations and 50 VHF Walkie-Talkies. A
start was also made on a program to install VOR electronic
navigation equipment in each aircraft of the Department's
fleet of 41 machines. In addition, complete electronic com-
munication and navigation installations were effected in
nine new Turbo-Beaver aircraft.

The 1966 inventory of 2,605 pieces of two-way radio com-
munications equipment comprised:
352 Lookout Tower VHF radiotelephones.
579 Mobile VHF radiotelephones.
15 Patrol vessel radiotelephones.
1,218 Portable radio telephones of all types and power
outputs, both HF and VHF.
320 Fixed location ground station radiotelephones of ail
types and powers, both HF and VHF.
41 Aircraft Radio Installations (4 systems in each

aircraft).
60 Portable VHF aircraft radiotelephones for installation'

in other than Government aircraft.
20 Aircraft Ground Hailers.

AIR SERVICE SECTION

Nine De Havilland Turbo-Beavers and one Twin Otter were
purchased to replace 10 piston powered Beavers which were
sold by public tender.

The "Ontario Integral Float Water Bombing System" was
installed in a total of 10 Otters and 15 Turbo-Beavers; two
Otters and two Turbo-Beavers were also equipped with
Gelgard dispensing systems. Development of the water
bombing system in the Twin Otter is underway with the Air-
craft expected to be operational by August 1957.

26 bases were in operation during the fire season. 12 of
these bases provide year-round flying service necessary in
resources management work. Total flying time for the year
was 14,752:40 hours, total personnel and passengers carried
36,702. Total loads carried 13,200,064 pounds. 17 Mercy
Flights totalling 25:15 hours were carried out. Five heli-
copters were leased from May 1st to September 30th to
provide transportation in fighting fires.

FISH AND WILDLIFE BRANCH

OBJECTIVE

To manage the lands and waters of the Province to ensure
that (a) the maximum recreational and economic benefits
are gained from the wildlife and fish species while keeping
management practices compatible with other land and water
uses; and to (b) permit the full harvest of the annual natural
increases of fish and game species on a sustained yield basis.

ORGANIZATION

The Fish and Wildlife Branch is divided into two sections
and their subordinate units with duties and responsibilities
as follows:
WILDLIFE

Game Management: Maintenance and increase of game
abundance through improvement of habitat, regulations,
inventory of game numbers, measures of participation by
hunters, establishment of public hunting areas and develop-
ment of agreement with landowners to provide improved
game habitat and hunting opportunities.
Fur Management: Biologically sound management of fur-
bearing animals; counselling of trappers to assist them in
achieving the highest economic returns for their furs; regu-
lations; stocking of animals in depleted areas; and licensing
of fur farms.

Field Services: Enforcement of the hunting and fishing regu-
lations; development of training programs for conservation
officers related to law enforcement; development of pro-
grams to secure the co-operation of the public in observing
regulations and conduct of safe hunter examinations.
FISHERIES

Game Fish and Hatcheries: Lake and stream surveys; fish
population studies; fish management units; public fishing
areas; hatchery production; fish stocking; and licensing of
private hatcheries.

Commercial Fish: Licensing of commercial operators; devel-
opment of fisheries in Patricia area under Federal-Provincial
Resources Development Agreement; and compilation of
statistics on fishery effort and production.
Fisheries Inventory: Inventory of the waters of the Province;
organization and co-ordination of the field programs; imple-
mentation of data processing systems to utilize inventory
information for biological, economic and other uses.
Indian Resource Development: Technical assistance to
Indians in liaison with the Department of Indian Affairs and
Northern Development.

WILDLIFE SECTION
Game Management

Ontario offers more than 400,000 square miles of varied
habitat in which game species adapted to each area exist.
Accordingly, there are outstanding opportunities both for
nature study and hunting. It is impossible to estimate the
numbers of residents and visitors who participate in bird
watching, photography and other studies of bird and animal
wildlife. The sale of hunting licences, however, provides an
accurate estimate of the numbers of those who participate
in hunting as outlined below.

Once again there was an increase in the numbers of all
licences sold, with the exception of the resident moose,
which declined by 12,000.

The increasing interest and participation of sportsmen
makes the development of a modern and effective wildlife
management program essential. Inventories of game and
their habitat, collection of harvest data, evaluation of habi-
tat in the development of means to improve it, the creation
of realistic regulations and their enforcement, the use of
appropriate stocking techniques and the development of a
suitable educational and public relations program are all
part of game management.

Accompanying this is a continuing need to develop our staff
of biologists, foresters and conservation officers, which has
been done through special courses in the Universities and
at the Ontario Forest Ranger School at Dorset.
DEER HUNTING AND MANAGEMENT
Over 146,000 deer licences were sold in 1966 compared with
140,000 in 1965. In addition, 12,700 non-resident moose
licence holders could hunt deer if they wished. To obtain
information on the hunt, 29,854 hunters were interviewed
at checking stations and 3,719 were contacted in mailed
surveys.

Southern Ontario: The dominant influence on hunting across
the whole of southern Ontario was the heavy rain, during the
first week of the season. Many hunters stayed home or sat
in their camps rather than face the downpour. The rain was
lightest towards the western side of southern Ontario, but
was heavy from Lindsay eastward. The effect is evident in
hunting success figures. Interviews with 15,659 hunters in
Parry Sound, Lindsay and Tweed districts revealed that only
in Parry Sound was the hunting as good as in 1965. In
Lindsay the overall success dropped from 21.1% to 16.5%,
and in Tweed from 29.0% to 17.4%. This was entirely due to
the inclement weather. As usual, there were great differ-
ences between organized hunters who generally had about
20% to 25% success and casual hunters who usually only
had about 5%. The Bruce Peninsula was not so much affec-
ted by rain and showed a slightly higher hunter success
than in 1965, but both Lake Simcoe and Kemptville districts
were lower.

Farther north in North Bay and Pembroke Districts, hunters
have been seeing fewer deer in recent years due to the
mortality resulting from deep snow during the winters of
1958-'59 and 1959-'60. This year they were further discour-
aged by the miserable rainy weather. The overall hunter
success was only 7.3% in North Bay District and 16.9% in
Pembroke District. Surprisingly the success of casual
hunters in Pembroke District remained high. At 9.6% it was
higher than in Parry Sound, Lindsay or Tweed. It may be
that organized hunters were more easily persuaded to stay
in camp or the severe winters may have been worse in the
northern parts of the district where most hunt camps were
located.

In Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie districts, the story was
different. Manitoulin Island hunter success was up slightly
to 29.2% in spite of rather poor weather. Unfortunately, the
restricted land area on which this hunting took place led
to overcrowding and there were complaints by hunters that
they were interfering with each other. In Sault Ste. Marie
district, the smaller number of hunters found that the deer
herd was recovering from the mortality of 1958-'59 and
1959-'60. They had the highest success for many years at
30.0%.

Northwestern Ontario: The sequence of mild and severe
winters has been different in northwestern Ontario. The
most recent severe winter was in l%5-66 and its effect on
the deer was evident in the age distribution of deer and
hunter success reported from the 1966 hunt. The deer
which were yearlings during the hunting season had been
fawns through the severe winter and had suffered most.
This was shown by the decrease in percentage of yearlings
in Fort Frances, Sioux Lookout and, particularly, in Kenora

District where yearlings were little more than half the per-
centage of 1965. In addition, the severe winter left does in
poor shape for raising young, and in Kenora fawns de-
creased from 24.7% of the kill in 1%5 to 12.6% in 1966.
Such a loss of deer was bound to affect hunter success. All
three Districts showed decreases but Sioux Lookout was
worst, dropping from 28.2% in 1965 to 13.6% in 1966. Al-
though hunter success also decreased in Fort Frances and
Kenora Districts, it was still higher than in any other part
of the Province.

Evidence of Winter Deer Mortality in Northwestern Ontario
during the Winter of 1965-'66 as revealed by
data from the 1966 Deer Hunt:

Prospects for 1967: The winter of 1966-'67 was hard but not
severe in southern Ontario. Therefore, it is predicted that,
given normal hunting weather, hunter success should be
somewhat better than last year. In northwestern Ontario,
hunter success will probably be about the same as last
year, but somewhat lower than in the past.

Deer Range Improvement: Since the winter was mild no
emergency operations were undertaken, but deer range im-
provement work continued on about the same scale as in
previous years. Various treatments were tried on small
areas to compare costs, to find methods which produced
most browse and to find the browse utilized by deer. A total
of 225.2 acres was treated in six districts at a total cost of
$13,383. This work has provided us with much needed exper-
ience in deer range improvement as well as providing food
for the deer.

Spring Deer Surveys: Because the winter of 1965-66 was very
mild in southern Ontario, few Districts put much effort into
spring surveys of deer. On the Bruce Peninsula, in Lake
Huron District, the loss of deer was only 4.3%. This is very
light compared with up to 40% lost during years with deep
snow. A browse survey on the Bruce Peninsula revealed
that deer wintering in areas where white cedar was abund-
ant were using the cedar mostly for shelter. Food was
provided by dogwood mixed with small amounts of other
hardwoods such as willow, aspen and cherry.
In Sault Ste. Marie District, winter losses were only 8%. In
three areas where pellet group counts have been carried
out each year since 1963, they have indicated a remarkable
increase in the deer population. On the basis of these fig-
ures, the Sault Ste. Marie District staff predicted an im-
provement in deer hunting this fall and the fulfillment of
this prediction has already been described.
In northwestern Ontario, the situation was completely differ-
ent. There was very deep snow, up to 37 inches, and it
lasted throughout most of the winter. Observations of deer
indicated they were in poor condition. The dead deer which
were examined showed little fat in the bone marrow, an
indication that body fat had already been exhausted. Al-
though neither Sioux Lookout nor Kenora Districts found
many dead deer in their spring surveys, shortages of deer
did show up in the hunt. Thus, the survey methods must
have been at fault and will have to be improved.

MOOSE MANAGEMENT

The objective of moose management in Ontario is to provide
the most hunting and viewing of moose which can be sus-
tained without interfering with other interests.
During 1966, nearly 61,000 hunters bought moose licences.
Once again a new record was set as the increase was 18%
over the previous high in 1965. This increase is all the more
significant in view of the fact that there was no hunting in
southern Ontario, except in the Pembroke Forest District.
An estimated 56,398 of the licence holders hunted and
killed 14,593 moose. Thus overall success was 26%. Wide
variations in hunter success occurred throughout the moose
range, with hunters in northwestern Ontario being more
successful than those in the more heavily hunted north-
eastern areas. Non-residents as usual were more successful
than residents. This reflects the greater amount of effort and
money spent by the average non-resident to get a moose.
The problem of hunter distribution was the greatest it has
ever been. Evidence of this was the numerous congested
areas where road-hunters living in campers and tents con-
gregated. There was a rapid increase in the number of non-
residents, particularly, who were doing their moose hunting
this way. As a result of the build-up of hunter numbers in
certain popular areas, the hunter success for both residents
and non-residents declined. But the number of moose killed
remained virtually the same as in the previous year.
For example, in Kapuskasing District, where motor tobog-
gans are widely used, over 100 man-days of hunting per
week were recorded throughout November and mid-
December. During the last three weeks, the man-days of
hunting dropped to 77, 63, and then increased again to 108.
On the other hand, in Geraldton District, where there was
little use of motor toboggans, the man-days of hunting were
much higher during the first two weeks of October than in
Kapuskasing District, but were never over 100 after the first
week of November.

A special survey of hunters using motor toboggans in Kapus-
kasing District revealed that 388 residents killed 111 moose
and nine non-residents killed four. The success rates of
28.6% for residents using motor toboggans and 44.9% for
non-residents were considerably higher than the overall
success rate for that District of 22.6% for residents and
35.8% for non-residents. A similar survey in Cochrane Dis-
trict showed that hunters with motor toboggans went as far
as 30 miles from main roads. Thus, the use of these
machines for moose hunting provides increased hunting
opportunities during the latter part of the season by pro-
viding an opportunity for hunters to get away from the road-
ways. As long as they are used for transportation only and
not for chasing moose, the introduction of the motor tobog-
gan can be viewed as a progressive development in moose
hunting.

Prospects for the 1967 season are for even more hunters
and a higher kill of moose. Results of aerial surveys and
analyses of biological data — such as sex and age ratios
and reproductive rates — indicate that the allowable harvest
from the total population of moose is nowhere near being
utilized as yet in most of the northern moose range. In the
south, the situation is different since with more hunters
and greater accessibility moose are more vulnerable to
hunting. As a result, local overshooting has occurred in the
past. To allow moose numbers to build up, the seasons were
shorter or in some areas closed.

Traditionally, the moose hunt has not lasted much more
than the first two or three weeks of October, during which
time 70% to 80% of the kill has been made. That is, after
the snow came and lakes froze up, most hunters seemed to
prefer not to hunt moose. The advent of cheap reliable
winter transportation in the form of powered snow tobog-
gans apparently is changing this. In each of the last few
years, there has been more use made of such vehicles and,
as a result, hunting pressure is gradually being spread out
more over the whole season.
SPRING BEAR HUNTING

Bear management aims at reducing the wasteful shooting
of bears merely because they are a nuisance, and promot-
ing more positive uses such as sport hunting and observing.
It is evident that this policy is succeeding from the con-
tinued increase in licence sales. In 1966, 3,910 non-resident
spring bear hunting licences were sold, representing a 48%
increase over sales in 1965, and 813 resident licences,
representing a 39% increase. Inquiries about bear hunting
by residents have been increasing and it seems evident that,
after a rather slow start during the past few years, bear
hunting is increasing in popularity.

Table 7

MOOSE HARVEST DATA FROM HUNTER SURVEYS 1966-'67

Mailed surveys of bear hunters are not conducted, but in-
formation is obtained through post cards attached to the
licences. As a result, the percent success reported is too
high, for hunters who have shot a bear are more likely to
reply than those who have not. However, this bias should
remain fairly constant from year to year. This being so, the
results (see table 8) suggest that more bears have been shot
than in previous years. As is the case with moose, the in-
crease in numbers of bears shot has not kept up with the
increase in numbers of hunters. This is probably because
many hunters taking up bear hunting for the first time are
inexperienced.

Over 80% of the bear hunters are non-residents. Of these,
about one-quarter come from Michigan, a fifth from Pennsyl-
vania and nearly a fifth from Ohio. The rest come from the
remaining eastern and mid-western states. These hunters
go mainly to Sault Ste. Marie district (167 reported),
Chapleau (163), Swastika (116) and Kenora (92). Among
these the highest success in 1966 was reported from Kenora,
where it was 49%; Swastika reported 40%, Sault Ste. Marie
35% and Chapleau 34%.

Most of the bears shot are adult males. In 1966, they com-
prised 60% of the kill. The rest were 26% adult females.
9% male cubs and 5% female cubs. Since bears collected
in other ways usually show less than 50% adult males, it
seems that hunters are selecting them because of their size,
or else they are inclined to boast about shooting adult males
when in fact they have not. Probably both these factors
affect the sex ratios reported.

Bears weighed thus far in Ontario have averaged less than
bears from other areas. The average for 34 adult males was
179 pounds, compared with 263 for 19 weighed in New
Hampshire, 324 for 49 weighed in New York, and 305 for 16
weighed in Florida. The average weight for 26 adult females
in Ontario was 126, compared with 183 for 11 in New Hamp-
shire, 200 for 19 in New York, and 189 for 12 in Florida. The
biggest bear weighed so far from Ontario was killed by a
car in the Magnetawan River area of Parry Sound district
and weighed 451 pounds. For comparison, record weights
from New York were 599 pounds (1956) and for Florida 580
pounds (1959). The reason that bears in Ontario are smaller
is not known.

The favourite month for hunting bears is May, when 57%
were shot in 1966. Bears are also shot during the fall hunting
seasons, but present statistical data concerning numbers
and sex is not adequate.

PHEASANT MANAGEMENT

The prime objective of management is to maintain or in-
crease natural ring-necked pheasant populations in suitable
habitat, and to provide recreational opportunities at as high
a level as possible consistent with principles of sustained
yield and other uses of agricultural land.
Management includes the maintenance of natural popula-
tions in areas having less than 50 inches annual snowfall
a year; the utilization of game farm stocks as efficiently as
possible; and the collection of information relating to
pheasant populations and their harvest.
Season lengths varied from four to 83 days across the
Province, depending upon the availability of pheasants and
maintenance of breeding stocks. Bag limits remained un-
changed with the exception of Lincoln County, where an
experimental "cocks only" season was instituted.
Distribution of Game Farm Stock: Two Provincial game bird
farms continued to play an important role in the regulated
township system in maintaining private lands open to public
upland game hunting. Day-old chicks, poults and year-old
breeding stock were provided to municipalities and sports-
men's clubs for immediate or subsequent release. Increased
numbers of adult birds were reared at the game farms for
release on public hunting units operated by the Department.

Habitat Management: One of the most important factors
limiting native populations of ring-necked pheasants is the
loss of nests and nesting hens from hay-mowing operations.
The staff of southern Districts publicized the need to leave
the cutting of grass along roadsides, farm lanes and other
waste areas until after July 10 to increase pheasant pro-
duction. Publicity respecting other effective management
practices also was provided.

Special Studies: To evaluate the effects of such factors as
land-use practices, agricultural insecticide applications, and
harvest regulations on pheasant populations in the Niagara
Peninsula, a special five-year study was instituted in 1966
in Lincoln and Welland counties. A graduate biologist was
hired on a contract in November, 1966 for a six-month
period to coordinate initial stages of the study which is
continuing.

HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGE

Management of Hungarian partridge is designed to estab-
lish populations in all areas of suitable habitat in the
Province, and to provide maximum recreational use of
available partridge stocks.

Kemptville District staff live-trapped 101 partridges during
January and February, 1967. Some 50 of these birds were
released in March in Tecumseth Township, Simcoe County;
36 were released in Darlington Township, Durham County.
The remainder were held for propagation purposes at the
Codrington Game Farm.

Partridge populations in the most important hunting range
in eastern Ontario continued to prosper. Covey counts,
average covey size and availability of birds during the liberal
season established from September 24 to November 26
inclusive, indicated an increase in the number of Hungarian
partridge from the previous year.
BOBWHITE QUAIL AND OTHER SMALL GAME
Bobwhite quail continued to increase in numbers and in
distribution, and the counties of Kent, Lambton, Middlesex
and Elgin enjoyed a hunting season from November 2 to 12
in 1966.

The cottontail rabbit, European hare and, in some areas, the
snowshoe hare, continued to supply a very large amount of
quality recreation. Populations of cottontails and "jacks,"
as European hare are called, were at particularly good levels
across much of southern Ontario. For example, field checks
of 1,388 rabbit hunters in Peel, Ontario, Simcoe and York
counties, in Lake Simcoe District, indicated a harvest of
259 cottontails, 235 European hares and 96 snowshoe hares,
and an average daily success rate of 2.43 animals per
hunter.

All available information indicates that hunting pressure has
little influence on the annual status of most resident small
game species. Thus, management aims to provide informa-
tion to the public relative to annual availability of small
crops and to establish the most liberal seasons possible,
consistent with other uses of land in agricultural areas.
Since a high proportion of small game hunting takes place
on private lands, the development of good hunter-landowner
relations is important.

Many small game species, such as woodcock, snipe, squirrel
and raccoon, are neglected by a large proportion of Ontario's
hunters. Although these species were present in good num-
bers across much of Ontario, only a very small fraction of
the available surplus was taken by hunting.
WATERFOWL MANAGEMENT

Ontario's waterfowl management objectives are designed to
maintain waterfowl populations at or near the levels which
occurred during the favourable 1955-57 period, and to pro-
vide opportunities for quality recreation so that hunters and
non-hunters alike can utilize and enjoy the resource, now
and in the future. Specifically, management is designed to
determine and predict trends in the annual abundance of
important species produced in Ontario, and to keep the
public informed on important facets of waterfowl manage-
ment. The utilization of under-harvested species is desir-
able, and reduction of the kill of those species exhibiting
lesser abundance due to habitat conditions is essential.
Development, protection and improvement of habitat im-
portant to waterfowl is necessary to improve waterfowl
production where possible. The management program
includes development of additional hunting opportunities
for waterfowl in areas where public access is limited or
where certain species of waterfowl are not now available to
Ontario residents.

Waterfowl banding continues to be a most important man-
agement technique in assessing the status of important
waterfowl species in Ontario. Many agencies co-operated in
the 1966 banding program, including this Department, the
Canadian Wildlife Service, the United States Fish and Wild-
life Service, and interested private agencies such as the
University of Guelph, Sportsmen's Clubs, and the Ontario
Bird Banders' Association. In total, 12,778 ducks and geese
were banded prior to the season in 1966. Of the 28 banding
stations, Department personnel operated 15 and provided
direct or technical assistance to five others.

Seasons and bag limits were established in consultation
with Federal authorities. Wood ducks continued to increase
and a daily limit of four again was allowed; restrictions on
red heads and canvasbacks were retained with a limit of
two of either species. After October 14, hunters were allowed
an additional two scaup or goldeneye since, at present,
these late migrants are hunted very lightly.
The Department co-operated fully in the institution of a new
Federal migratory game bird hunting permit which is de-
signed to facilitate surveys of waterfowl hunters and to
obtain, for the first time, accurate information concerning
the distribution of hunters in Canada and their harvest of
waterfowl. First year permit sales are listed below and indi-
cate the importance of waterfowl hunting in this Province.

During the season, almost 9,000 wings of waterfowl taken by
hunters were collected. These were analyzed by staff biolo-
gists and conservation officers as to species, age and sex by
noting colour and ware patterns of feathers. An expert in
this technique from the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service gave leadership in this work, and the data were
analyzed by computer at the University of Guelph.
Improvement of waterfowl habitat and production continued
in various districts. Over 2,000 acres of prime habitat at Tiny
Marsh, near Midland, was created by a dam erected in
March, 1967. The Districts of Fort Frances, Swastika and
Kemptville created additional waterfowl pot-hole habitat in
areas of heavy vegetation and shallow water by exploding a
combination of ammonium-nitrate and fuel oil. This rela-
tively new and inexpensive technique will prove most useful
in improving wetland habitat in future years. On the goose
management area on Lake St. Lawrence, production of
Canada geese continued to increase. More than 700 goslings
were produced on the adjacent Ontario and New York water-
fowl management areas, where breeding Canada geese were
rare or absent only 10 years ago. Over 3,000 migrating
Canadas stopped over at the St. Lawrence Sanctuary during
the fall flight. Although total kill is not known, all evidence
suggests that Canada geese were taken in greater numbers
than usual across the eastern counties in 1966.
In the Hudson Bay and James Bay areas, the Department
continues to assist Indians in establishing commercial
goose hunting camps. At the camp at Fort Severn, a total
income of $9,510.82 was realized from the 108 hunters par-
ticipating; 2,305 geese, 121 ducks, 61 ptarmigan and 14 seals
were taken by the tourists and Indians in 1966. Goose hunt-
ing was excellent and all but three hunters left with their
possession limit of 10 geese.

A new Indian-run goose camp was set up in 1966 at Kapiskau
on James Bay, near Fort Albany, under the direction of
Cochrane District personnel, in its first season of operation,
the camp ran at less than capacity, but a gross income from
all sources of $3,310.50 was realized. A total of 926 geese,
482 ducks, one bear (black) and one ruffed grouse were
taken by Indian and white hunters from September 14 to
October 9 inclusive.

Table 14

RUFFED GROUSE HUNTER SUCCESS, 1965-1966

RUFFED GROUSE MANAGEMENT

Management objectives are directed toward: (a) encourag-
ing and providing suitable regulations for the optimum
utilization of this generally under-harvested species, which
is subject to periodic severe fluctuations in numbers;
(b) encouraging the use of woodland management tech-
niques, which increase the production of grouse; (c) improv-
ing grouse production on intensively managed public hunt-
ing areas through habitat improvement techniques; and
(d) recording trends in grouse abundance and providing the
public with predictions regarding the annual availability of
grouse.

District staff assessed grouse populations by means of
drumming counts in spring, brood counts in summer and the
availability of grouse to hunters during the open season.
In general, northern populations of ruffed grouse were not
at the high levels often reached during the peak of the
nine-year grouse cycle. Although there was evidence that
declines had occurred in hunter success in many Districts,
they were not substantial. From information for the past
several years, it appears that grouse are on the ascending
aspect of their cycle.

In the discontinuous woodlands of agricultural southern
Ontario, where violent fluctuations in grouse numbers are
not common, excellent grouse hunting again was available.

PHEASANT HUNTING UNITS

Four pheasant hunting units operated by the Department in
1966 offered quality, "pay-as-you-go" hunting to 3,484 sports-
men. At Presqu'ile, Darlington and Sibbald Point Parks and
on the Gananoque Provincial Hunting Area, 5,169 pheasants
from the Codrington and Normandale Game Bird Farms
were released. A limited number of pheasants were released
in Tiny Marsh of Simcoe County, in the Gamebridge area
of Ontario County, and Brighton in Northumberland County
to provide opportunities to hunt pheasants outside the
natural range of this game bird.

The open season for public hunting of pheasants on a por-
tion of each park extended from October 12 to November 30.
Permits were made available on a first-come, first-served
basis at a fee of $5.00. The number of hunters in each hunt-
ing area was restricted and the bag limit was three pheas-
ants regardless of sex.

Statistics on pheasant hunting areas operated by the Depart-
ment in Provincial Parks are as follows:

In the three parks listed above, 2,324 hunters participated in
1966, compared to 1,592 the year previously. Pheasant hunt-
ing in Earl Rowe Provincial Park was discontinued in 1966
because of intensive park development.
MULTIPLE PURPOSE HUNTING UNITS
I he Gananoque Provincial Hunting Area is a 1,041 acre tract
of land in Leeds and Frontenac counties, acquired for the
purpose of providing hunting for several game species
including rabbits, ruffed grouse, woodcock, waterfowl and
deer. Pheasants are hunted on a put-and-take basis.
Habitat improvements to the management area in 1966 in-
cluded planting 60,000 conifers and 575 shrubs suitable for
ruffed grouse winter shelter and escape cover.
Statistics for the 1966 season are as follows:

WATERFOWL HUNTING UNITS

Five marshlands adjoining Provincial parks were managed
in 1966 to provide the public with opportunities to hunt
waterfowl. Department blinds were available to sportsmen
for a daily fee of $4.00 at Long Point and Rondeau on Lake
Erie, and $2.00 at Darlington Park on Lake Ontario. These
controlled shooting areas are managed to provide hunting
of reasonable quality by attracting and holding waterfowl in
the marsh through a system of refuges and feeding sanctu-
aries. Seasonal permits for waterfowl hunting were issued
at $4.00 each on the less intensively managed units at Holi-
day Beach and Presqu'ile Provincial Parks and a portion of
Rondeau Provincial Park. Statistics for these areas for 1966
follow:

Popularity of the Provincial public hunting ground system
has grown in recent years. Plans are underway to increase
the number of managed wildlife areas throughout the
Province.

Since the land acquisition program began in 1962, 15,655
acres have been purchased for fish and wildlife manage-
ment purposes. During the current fiscal year, 6,197 acres
were acquired on seven wildlife management areas.
Under current legislation, the Minister may enter into agree-
ments with the owners of lands respecting the management,
perpetuation and rehabilitation of the wildlife resources of
Ontario. At the present time, this program of landowner
assistance is in the planning stage, and will be designed to
provide assistance to landowners in the form of protection
against vandalism and careless hunting practices, and to
increase game densities by improving quality and quantity
of game habitat through provision of technical advice and
other assistance to the landowner.
PUBLIC HUNTING GROUND PROGRAM
The objectives of the Public Hunting Ground Program in-
clude assuring that significant areas of Provincial Crown
lands are retained from alienation or that land is acquired
by the Crown to provide for hunting, fishing and associated
recreation; providing hunting in areas where such oppor-
tunities have become restricted and the need for public
hunting land is urgent; providing public access for purposes
of hunting, fishing and other associated recreational pur-
suits on Crown lands; and the production of wildlife to full
capacity on private lands through technical and other assist-
ance to the landowner, and to make wildlife surpluses avail-
able to the public under Department-landowner agreements.
The need for public hunting grounds is greatest in Essex
County; Lambton County near Sarnia; Middlesex and Elgin
Counties near London and St. Thomas; Lincoln County near
St. Catharines; Wentworth County near Hamilton; Waterloo
County near Kitchener and Guelph, and Halton, Peel, York
and Ontario Counties within a 50-mile radius of Toronto.
The amount of land recommended for acquisition in each
county is based on proximity of the area to population
centres, capability of the area to produce wildlife and the
possibilities for intensive management of a variety of wild-
life species, costs of acquisition and development and
danger of destruction of wildlife habitat.

Fur Management

Beaver remains the most important fur-bearer in Ontario.
Beaver populations are generally stable, although they may
be down slightly in some areas of Patricia East and perhaps
also in the Pembroke District. The slight drop in beaver
harvest, though not particularly significant, is attributed to
the drop in market value.

The mink situation has been a source of concern for the
past four years, with populations dwindling all over the
Province. However, there is an encouraging pattern emerg-
ing, with noticeable increases of population throughout the
northwestern part of the Province, some stabilizing at a low
point in the north-central area, while still declining slightly
south of the Sudbury and North Bay Districts. It would
appear that the return of good populations has started in
the north-west and is spreading south and east. An interest-
ing development in the fur market appeared during the year
when mink pelts, although scarce, still exhibited a decline
in prices.

The long hair furs (fisher, fox, lynx, marten, raccoon)
dropped considerably in market value this year, but this
appears to represent a return to more realistic prices after
a few years of speculation in these pelts. The production of
fisher and raccoon appears to be fairly stable, while lynx is
still low. Lynx production should begin to recover next year
and should provide an increased harvest in 1968-'69. Col-
oured fox populations are high enough that there is an
increased harvest despite the reduced value. The marten
population is still increasing and spreading in most areas,
though harvests are many times greater than ever recorded.
The muskrat populations are governed principally by water
levels, hence patterns vary throughout the Province. Be-

cause of severe water level fluctuations, populations are
down in Fort Frances and Sioux Lookout Districts, but up in
Swastika. Lake Erie, Pembroke and Lake Simcoe Districts.
The value of muskrat dropped drastically (60%), but the
harvest was down only a relatively small amount.
FUR FARMING

The first and largest part of the 1966 ranch-raised mink crop
was offered in December auctions to a very depressed fur
market. Buyer attendance was lighter and a selective
demand at substantially lower prices compared to the 1965
crop sales.

Good quality, dark and pastel mink, declined 25% and 15%
respectively, with little demand or interest shown in either
type. Light Blue, Dark Blue, Pearl and Beige types declined
20% to 30%, with limited interest shown.
Reserve limits based 10% below 1965 prices — the decline
which was anticipated — and resulted in a large number
of buy backs. Turnover at the initial sales ran 50% to 70%.
The cause of the sharp decline in the market is attributed
to a number of factors. The mild recession in the economy
of the large mink-consuming countries, and the decline in
the stock market restricting the sale of garments at the
retail level. The world production of mink approached the 24
million mark, a factor which ensured buyers a plentiful
supply of pelts throughout the year and which could extend
into the 1967 crop year.

As of March 1, 1967, 80% of the 1966 Canadian ranch mink
production was sold. However, as it is estimated that only
35% to 40% of the world production was sold at this date,
it is almost a certainty that a large carry-over will exist when
the 1967 crop comes to market. The prospects, therefore,
for the next selling season do not look bright.

Ranch-raised foxes also declined 25% from the 1965 price
levels, as did all wild fur species with the exception of
beaver. As in the previous year, most of the Silver, Platinum
and Pearl Platinum foxes were sold to Japan. The small
quantity of the Dawn-Glo fox, which was developed on an
Ontario ranch, declined 10% and were purchased for an
account in Japan.

The disease incidence on Ontario ranches was minimal
again in 1966. Six cases of distemper, one case of virus
enteritis and four cases of plasmacytosis were diagnosed at
the Ontario Veterinary College. The increased use of pre-
ventive vaccines for distemper and virus enteritis has
achieved this good record, but distemper could be further
reduced if more ranchers used the vaccine. It is felt that
more cases of plasmacytosis exist on Ontario ranches than
is reported to the Ontario Veterinary College.
A total of 494 Fur Farmer's Licences were issued during
1966. Of these, 444 were renewals of previous licences, 47
were for newly-established ranches and three licences were
issued with retroactive provisions to legalize the operation
of unlicensed ranches during the previous year.
There was an increase of 86,502 or 18.03% in the production
of mink pelts on Ontario ranches in 1966 as compared to
the previous year.

Field Services

The purpose of law enforcement is to prevent violations by
encouraging the public to obey the regulations made to
ensure good fish and wildlife management. These are based
upon the biological requirements indicated from field
studies, and the social needs of fair play and equitable use
of such natural resources. Where persuasion and education
fail, prosecution is necessary and a high standard of law
enforcement is essential to meet these objectives.
To meet this challenge, a comprehensive training program
for conservation officers has been established. Some 103
Department employees who enforce the game and fish laws
received instruction from the Branch Law Enforcement
Training Officer. More advanced instruction was provided
for 25 officers attending the Fish and Wildlife Certificate
Course at the Ontario Forest Ranger School, Dorset, by in-
structors from the Ontario Provincial Police Force and the
Department. In addition, 16 Fish and Wildlife officers and
biologists with supervisory responsibilities attended a three-
week law enforcement training course at the Ontario Police
College, Aylmer. Instruction in evidence, power and proce-
dure of arrest, the Canada Evidence Act, The Game and Fish
Act, the Fisheries Act, The Ontario Fishery Regulations, the
Migratory Birds Convention Act and Regulations, and the
Summary procedures as prescribed in the Criminal Code
and the Ontario Summary Convictions Act, were provided.
The Conservation Officer staff, which includes some Super-
visors and all those whose duties are actively engaged in
enforcement in the field, number 250.
Registered convictions for the fiscal year 1966-'67 totalled
2,626. This is an increase of 279 over the previous year and
is due in part to an increasing number of hunters and
anglers in the field, an increase in the number of violations
encountered and increased efficiency in the enforcement
staff in obtaining convictions.

Over the past ten years, an average of 2,356 convictions
have been recorded each year. In the year under review the
average was exceeded by 270. The record for the past five
years has been:

(under Migratory Birds Regulations)

About one-quarter of the prosecutions against anglers,
hunters and trappers, amounting to 652 cases, were for
angling, hunting or trapping without the authority of a
licence. This is an increase over last year by ISO persons.
Evaluation of a law enforcement program is difficult. New
laws and increased use of natural resources help to account

for increased numbers of violations. Hunting or fishing
without a licence is a violation for which there is little
excuse, and may be a good measure of public tendency to
violate the law.

2. Hunting in prohibited hours and jacklighting 270

3. Possession of loaded firearm in motor boat 145

4. Hunting in closed season 79

5. Possession of game in closed season 36

6. Hunting protected birds 33

Assistance in the law enforcement program is provided by
biologists, foresters, chief and deputy chief forest rangers
and technicians who hold appointments as special conserva-
tion officers. There are also some 1,100 deputy conservation
officers offering volunteer service in law enforcement. The
Ontario Provincial Police work with our conservation officers
and provide special assistance during the spring spawning
of rainbow trout and walleyes. These co-operative efforts
resulted in convictions both under The Ontario Fishery
Regulations and The Liquor Control Act. The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police provided increased assistance with enforce-
ment of the Migratory Birds Convention Act and the
Regulations.

Items required for evidence used in violations of The
Game and Fish Act, The Ontario Fishery Regulations and the
Migratory Bird Regulations are seized by the conservation
officer at the time the accused is apprehended. Upon con-
viction, this equipment becomes the property of the Crown.
The Minister may grant relief from forfeiture upon such
terms as he deems just, and a majority of such items are
restored to their former owners. This does not apply to items
the possession of which may be illegal.
Articles which become the property of the Crown are sold at
public auction. A total of $11,234.80 was realized from such
sales.

HUNTING LICENCE EXAMINATIONS

Regulations were passed providing for conservation officers
to become examiners of new applicants for a hunting
licence under a uniform and standard set of examinations
designated to reduce hunting accidents in the Province.
The Hunter Safety Training Program, formerly a responsi-
bility of the Fish and Wildlife Branch, was transferred to the
Operations Branch.

Conservation officers who were formerly hunter safety train-
ing instructors were relieved of this responsibility in view
of their new role as examiners. Hunters may now select
training from any source they choose. No examinations were
provided during the year under review. It is not expected
that the 20,000 new hunters recorded each year in Ontario
will enter the program completely until 1968, when the
examination becomes mandatory for all hunters seeking a
licence for the first time.

FISHERIES SECTION

Fisheries section is responsible for the application of the
principles of full, multiple and public use on a sustained
yield basis to the fishery resources of the Province. The
application of these principles involves an understanding
of the resources and the organization of programs for its
optimum harvest.

Progress in reaching the objectives of fisheries management
was marked primarily by minor additions to staff and some
reorganization, as well as redirection of emphasis of various
programs. Perhaps most significant was the addition of a
new Unit in the Fisheries Section to coordinate the lake
survey program across the Province — an important part of
the field program of the Districts but which has been unable
to keep up to the necessary demand in recent years. The
Unit now consists of a senior biologist, a fisheries manage-
ment technician and a clerk.

At the same time, the Commercial Fisheries Unit, through
adjustments in staff functions, was able to add a biologist
to initiate a program for the development of quota manage-
ment and more extensive fish sampling by the field staff.
The policy of initiating programs directed at assisting the
industry in exploring methods of catching fish, transporta-
tion of quality products, and processing was established in
principle.

The addition of a Fisheries Management Unit to concentrate
on fisheries problems on Lakes Temagami and Nipissing
established a fifth such "intensive-study team" in a key
fishery water. At the same time, the importance of District
fisheries management officers was recognized, and two addi-
tional positions were created bringing the total number to
thirteen.

The Fish Culturist training program previously directed to
hatchery technicians was re-established and expanded to
include additional fisheries management training. In addi-
tion to hatchery technicians, biologists, fishery management
officers and conservation officers were offered the course to
improve their technical background in fish culture and field
management.

The program of modernizing and renovating the provincial
hatchery system was marked by the beginning of recon-
struction of the North Bay trout rearing station.

Game Fish and Hatcheries

This Unit is responsible for the planning and coordination
of programs to develop and maintain the sports fishery in-
cluding: production of hatchery fish stocks; control and
distribution of stocks; stimulation of private hatchery and
fish pond development; modernization of the hatchery sys-
tem; application of new fish cultural techniques; assessment
of utilization by angling, including the effectiveness of plant-
ing; establishing angling seasons; habitat improvement
including lake reclamation and stream improvement; co-
ordinating studies of fisheries problems and assessing
results; acquisition and development Of public fishing areas;
providing information and promoting the sports fishery.
FISHERIES MANAGEMENT UNITS

(a) Kawartha Lakes: In May 1966, the Kawartha Lakes Man-
agement Unit started a three year trap-netting project in
Rice Lake. The purpose of this study is to estimate the
number of fish in the lake and determine growth rates,
mortality and environmental factors affecting the fish popu-
lation. The ultimate objective is to manage the fish popu-
lations and environment to provide the best possible return
to the angler.

Also, in 1%6, walleye were transferred from the Talbot River
to augment the walleye in Canal Lake which are subject to
potential winter kill each year as a result of a drawdown
of the water levels.

(b) Lake Simcoe: In the fall of 1964, a management unit
'.vith headquarters at Sibbald Point Provincial Park, was set
up to study and manage the fishery of Lake Simcoe. The
main emphasis during 1966 was placed on summer and

inter creel census. A new approach was taken to the open
. ater creel census for Lake Simcoe. It was designed to
sample specific areas for yellow perch, northern pike, lake
trout and bass and to do so during the period of year when
anglers could be expected to be present in large numbers.
The winter fishing season of 1966-'67 was estimated at 70
days. The ice conditions were poor in January and early
February, thereby shortening the overall fishing season. The
total catch per unit effort decreased slightly from 1965, with
lake trout and whitefish showing the greatest declines.

(c) Lake of the Woods: During the summer of 1966, the final
year of the proposed five-year Lake of the Woods study, the
eastern sector including Sabaskong and Whitefish Bay was
investigated.

Field work extended from May 22 to October 21, 1966. Trap-
net catches in the spring provided 582 walleyes, 10 lake
trout, six whitefish and five maskinonge for tagging. By
January 1, 1967, 23 walleyes, one lake trout and one maski-
nonge tags had been returned; all of these by anglers.
A parasitological study of the fishes of this sector was con-
ducted with the cooperation of the Research Branch.
Future work on the lake will involve a quantitative creel
census, depth and benthos stations for the portion of the
lake in the Fort Frances District, spawning studies for some
of the major species and the collection of aquatic vegetation
from Lake of the Woods.

(d) Lake Temagami: In the spring of 1966, Lake Temagami
was set up as a separate Fish Management Unit under the
direction of a biologist, assisted by a fisheries management
technician.

The major activities during 1966 included a creel census of
summer angling. Results showed that 2,965 anglers fished
12,658 man-hours for a catch of 1,425 fish, or a return of
about 0.11 fish per hour spent angling.
Also started in 1965 was a follow-up to determine the suc-
cess of stocking lake trout yearlings. Fin clipped lake trout
have been planted since 1961, with different fins being
removed prior to planting each year. The earlier plantings
are now expected to begin showing up in the angler's creel.
Gill netting and limnological work also formed an integral
part of the studies carried out by the Unit during its first
year of operation.

(e) Rainy Lake: This Unit, consisting of one biologist and
one summer student, was established in 1965 to study the
fishery resources of Rainy Lake, to investigate the reports
of declining angling success and to provide data upon which
management could be based.

The work program was interrupted briefly in the spring of
1966 due to a change of the biologist in charge, however by
late June the Unit was once again operational under the
direction of a new biologist. The 1966 operation was devoted
to distribution, age and growth studies of walleye and white-
fish, and was concentrated on the north arm of Rainy Lake.

(f) Georgian Bay: A long term study initiated in 1%2 to
gather knowledge of the walleye of the Pointe au Baril area
of Georgian Bay was continued in 1966. There were an addi-
tional 491 walleyes tagged during the spring and summer
netting periods. Tag recoveries in 1966 numbered 846; of
these, 753 were taken in Department nets, 76 returned by
anglers, 13 received from commercial fishermen, and four
recovered from dead fish.

Movements of fish support the belief that the Shawanaga
Basin contains a relatively discrete population of walleyes
and that there is no apparent spawning migration from
commercial fishing grounds to the Shawanaga Basin during
the spring.

PUBLIC FISHING AREAS

With increasing urbanization in southern Ontario and the
need for more recreational areas, the Department has estab-
lished four pilot public fishing areas — at Mount Pleasant,
at the St. Williams Forestry Station, at Normandale and on
the Jackson Forest Tract near St. Williams.
The ponds on these areas are stocked periodically with
catchable-size fish throughout the fishing season, and are
open to public fishing free of charge. The most popular site
has been the Mount Pleasant Public Fishing Area. In its
second year of successful operation in 1966, more than
28,500 anglers visited the site during the 20-week trout fish-
ing season. These fishermen spent a total of 86,164 angler-
hours to catch 26,173 trout, of which 10,488 were rainbow
trout and 15,685 were brook trout.

SPECIAL PROJECTS

(a) Talbot River Walleye: The spawning run of walleye in the
Talbot River has increased over the years. Since it is the
only spawning area in Lake Simcoe now known to be used
by walleye, it is of vital importance. This river is a part of
the water-control system of the Trent Canal and is subject
to water fluctuations which in recent years have been great.
The river is a main source of spawn for the Department's
walleye hatchery stock.

Arrangements were made in 1966 with the Department of
Transport to maintain water flow during April and May, giv-
ing the walleye every possible opportunity to spawn and
reproduce successfully.

(b) Mississagi Walleye Study: 1966 marked the final year of
work in a study initiated in 1961 to determine the relative
effects of angling and commercial fishing on the walleye
population.

The angling success as earlier predicted showed a marked
improvement in 1966. This improved fishing can be credited
to two strong year classes that resulted from spawning in
1962 and 1963, and appeared in the fishery as three and
four-year-old walleye. The results of this study indicated
that commercial fishing has only a minor effect on angling
success in comparison with the major effect of natural
fluctuations in spawning success. There appears to be no
reason to greatly restrict commercial fishing for walleye
under present conditions.

(c) Bark Lake: A 10-year project initiated in 1965 is aimed
at establishing whether extensive winter hydro drawdown of
Bark Lake water is affecting the natural reproduction of the
lake trout population. During the summer of 1966, a simul-
taneous intensive creel census was carried out on Bark and
Aylen Lakes. Aylen Lake is similar in nature to Bark Lake
but not subject to water drawdown, and the census there
will act as a "control". During the latter years of this pro-
gram, the use of such a "control" lake to discount natural
angling fluctuations may assist in pointing up the precise
influence of the hydro dam on the Bark Lake lake trout
population.

(d) Water Quality Tests: Water samples from specific lakes
are collected annually by field personnel and forwarded to
the Ontario Water Resources Commission laboratories for
analysis of total alkalinity, total dissolved solids and tur-
bidity. Tests were carried out on 753 water samples in 1966
as part of the lake survey program.

The detection of pollution is another aspect of the water
sampling carried on by the Department's field staff. When
the presence of deleterious substances is suspected, water
samples are taken and forwarded to the Ontario Water
Resources Commission for analysis. In 1966, 87 such
samples were analysed.

(e) Lake Reclamation — Lemke Lake: The reclamation of
Lemke Lake, situated in Alice Township six miles from
downtown Pembroke, was carried out jointly by the Depart-
ment and the Pembroke Outdoor Sportsman's Club in May.
1966. In mid-June, brook trout were stocked and exceptional
fishing has been experienced since.

(f) Lake Superior: Amendments to the Ontario Fishery Regu-
lations and regulations made under the Game and Fish Act
prohibited angling for lake trout in Lake Superior, except
under the authority of a lake trout angling licence, issued
free of charge and valid for a period of 30 days. The licensee
was required to complete and return a creel census card
attached to the licence within 15 days after the expiry of
the licence.

The returns for 1966 show a decided increase in the number
of lake trout harvested by a larger number of licensees. A
total of 2,515 licences were issued and 1,561 lake trout were
caught by anglers in 1966. compared to 858 licences issued
and 124 lake trout caught in 1965.

(g) Commercial Fishing - Angling Conflicts: The policy of
providing the maximum economic and social return from
the fishery resources, causes, at times, some conflict be-
tween sports and commercial fisheries. The Department
aims to make use of the resources, sometimes by sports
fisheries, and in some locations and for some species by
commercial fisheries, but preferably by both.
Complaints that sports fishing has been affected by the
presence of commercial fishing are being investigated in
several areas. A three-year investigation of the fishery in
Sturgeon Lake, in the Sioux Lookout District, has begun in
order to develop management ensuring the maintenance of
quality angling as well as the utilization of commercial
species not otherwise being harvested. The question of the
affect of a commercial fishery during the spawning season
on the strength of year classes of walleye in Georgian Bay,
is under investigation. A similar investigation has just been
completed in the North Channel.

On Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake, similar conflict exists
between the two fishing interests. Fisheries Management
Units on these lakes have been directing their attentions
to the solutions of the problems to provide for the most
compatible utilization of the fishery resource.

LICENCES

Gross revenue from the sale of angling licences in Ontario
is approaching three million dollars. Total sales in 1966
amounted to $2,971,295. Sales of all licences, including non-
resident seasonal, non-resident three-day, non-resident
organized camp, resident Provincial Park and resident Pro-
vincial Park organized camp, showed an increase. Sales of
non-resident three-day licence cdlitinued to rise from 69,401
in 1963 to 151,373 in 1966. The increase in revenue from total
licence sales this year was $124,178 or 4.3%, and constitutes
one of the more substantial increases in recent years.

ANGLING REGULATIONS AND SUMMARY

Gradual consolidation of angling regulations were made in
1965 and 1966. Changes in angling zones were accomplis'- ^
over the two-year period to simplify seasons sufficientl.
that they could be illustrated on a map. In 1965, the Ang
Summary was doubled in size from previous years, including
more information for the sportsman. In 1966, the summary
was doubled again in size and maps of the Province showing
angling zones were included. For the first time anglers were
able to clearly understand angling-season-areas formerly
summarized only in print.

NET SECTION

The two Net Section staffs based at Port Arthur and Maple
assisted District personnel in fisheries management work
throughout 1966. Impounding gear (trap, pound and hoop
nets) were provided and maintained for fisheries investi-
gational work and spawn-taking operations. On some of the
larger projects, net section personnel actively assisted
district staff in the field work involved. In addition, the use-
fulness of impounding gear for commercial fishing was
demonstrated by net section specialists.
FISH HATCHERIES

The production and planting of hatchery reared fish is an
important part of the fisheries management program in
Ontario. Some 17 hatcheries were operated in 13 districts
during 1966. Fish species cultured include brook, rainbow,
aurora and lake trout, hybrid splake, kokanee, whitefish, lake
herring, maskinonge, walleye, largemouth and smallmouth
bass.

Fish culture in Ontario has evolved from a practical art into
an accurate science. The maintenance of records combined
with knowledge and experience has enabled our personnel
to predict such detailed information as weight gains over a
period of time from food calorie content. Though many prob-
lems of diet and disease control remain unsolved, there is
every indication that the rearing of fish can and will become
a far more efficient operation. To realize the benefits of
modern fish culture, it is necessary not only to up-date our
rearing facilities but also to encourage and promote the
technical training of hatchery staff.

One Federal and 15 Departmental employees were trained
this year at a fisheries management course held at the
University of Guelph. Fish culture and techniques form
much of the basis of this course in fisheries management.
Limited use was made of the Little Current hatchery during
1966. Its closure was planned to coincide with a regrouping
of fish hatchery facilities on Manitoulin Island at the Sand-
field station. The North Bay Trout Rearing station was closed
in 1966 for a total renovation of hatchery and rearing
facilities.

A new and modern hatchery building was completed at the
Normandale Trout Rearing station. Included were the instal-
lation of tray-type incubators, reinforced plastic rearing
troughs and a heat exchanger system for controlling the
temperature of water supplied to the incubators.
Pre-engineering and planning were carried out for the addi-
tion of six large earthen ponds at the Chatsworth station.
These ponds will be used in the production of the hybrid
splake. Present plans provide for an annual production of
500,000 yearling splake from this station for the rehabilita-
tion of Lake Huron.

Planning and pre-engineering work was initiated in connec-
tion with the development of the Thayer property at Sault
Ste. Marie for the construction of an experimental station
and a school of fish culture.

One policy was established prior to the end of the 1966-1967
fiscal year to mark, by fin clipping or tagging, all hatchery
fish. Fish planted in the spring of 1967 were marked with
the removal of the right pectoral fin. The primary aim of
this procedure is to facilitate the assessment of hatchery
plantings.

Concurrent with the importance of assessing the returns of
hatchery fish to the angler is a cost analysis of our fish
hatchery production figures. Example:

Mean food cost to produce one pound of fish at this station
was $0.39. The total cost to produce one pound of fish, in-
cluding all of the above species, was $1.39. Production from
this station for the year 1966-1967 totalled 45,993 pounds or
1,323,541 fish including fingerlings and yearlings of four
species.

The use of plastic bags in the transfer of hatchery fish was
first used as a management technique in 1966 by the Sault
Ste. Marie District. In 1965, the district's inland brook trout
plantings required 65 hours of Otter aircraft flying time. In
1966, similar numbers were distributed in lli'2 hours, thus
realizing a substantial saving. Promotion of the technique
within the Department has stimulated several other Dis-
tricts to attempt its implementation in their fish planting
procedures.

During the past fiscal year, the first of the genetically selec-
ted hybrid splake were set aside for potential brood stock
at Codrington Trout Rearing Station. These fish will ulti-
mately be transferred for culture to the Chatsworth Trout
Rearing Station.

In line with the long term rehabilitation of the lower Great
Lakes, kokanee egg stocks were imported into Ontario. Two
and a half million walleye eyed-eggs were exchanged for
kokanee eggs from Montana and Colorado. Two million
brook trout eyed eggs were also exchanged with British
Columbia for an additional lot of kokanee eggs. Although
small and premature (two years of age), the first spawning
runs of kokanee were seen in the waters of Lake Huron and
Ontario in the fall of 1966.

Lake trout eggs were also received on an exchange basis
from Clearwater Lake (Atikemeg). Manitoba provided Ontario
with 200,000 lake trout eyed eggs in exchange for 100,000
brook trout eyed eggs and 50,000 maskinonge fry supplied
by Dorion and Deer Lake hatcheries respectively.
The distribution of hatchery fish to Ontario waters for public
use during the fiscal year 1966-1967 is outlined in Table 23.
This year, approximately 47,032,557 fish of all species were
cultured for current or future plantings, primarily for the
sport fishery. For the distribution of hatchery reared fish,
tabulated by species, for the years 1962 through 1966 see
Table 24.

A number of agencies were provided with approximately
212,000 fish, ranging from green eggs to yearlings, for
research and educational purposes. Such agencies include
the Fisheries Research Board of Canada; the University of
Toronto; the University of Western Ontario; the University
of Guelph; McMaster University and the Department of
Lands and Forests Research Branch.
Programs conducted by these agencies, and for which
hatchery fish were used, include the sea lamprey control
program; lethal temperature studies; light as it affects the
spawning cycle; experimental research in embryology,
morphology, metabolism, parasitology, and pathology; and
long term studies in population dynamics, fish culture tech-
niques and planting methods as they affect the return of
hatchery fish to the angler.

The Dorion and Tarentorus Trout Rearing Stations again
met Ontario's commitment of yearling lake trout for Lake
Superior as the Province's part of the International re-
habilitation program. Those fish from Tarentorus (Sault Ste.
Marie) station were planted between Corbeil Point and
Goulais Bay (100,000), and from Otter Head to the Michi-
picoten River (125,000). Dorion (Port Arthur) fish were
planted in Jackfish Bay (75,000), Nipigon Bay (75,000) and
between Magnet Point and Fluor Island (75,000).
HATCHERIES (PRIVATE)

In 1966, 30 private fish hatcheries were licenced to sell fish
for restocking, and 32 to sell for human consumption.
Ontario regulates private fish hatcheries in order to control
the distribution of fish within the natural watersheds and
to prevent the sale and movement of diseased fish. The
primary species dealt with were brook and rainbow trout,
largemouth and smallmouth bass.

A group of private hatchery operators formed the Canadian
Fish Farmers Association in 1966, the first Canadian group
of its kind.

A policy has been established in Ontario to limit the im-
portation of fish and spawn in order to control the spread
of parasites, diseases, and undesirable species. However, a
limited number of permits were issued in 1966 for the
importation of fall-spawning rainbow trout eggs. The source
of the eggs in the western United States was designated
because the hatchery has no record of disease organisms
that have not yet appeared in Ontario. The sole reason for
allowing this import was because there were inadequate
stocks of fall-spawning rainbow trout in Ontario. For the
distribution of fish raised by private hatcheries for restock-
ing purposes in 1966 see Table 25.

Commercial Fish

This Unit is responsible for the issuance of commercial
fishing licences as well as accounting for licence fees; col-
lection and compilation of statistics of the catch; initiating
and directing programs for monitoring of fish stocks through
sampling systems; establishment of seasons, quotas and
conditions for fishing; development of programs to assist
the industry in catching, processing, handling and marketing
fishes.
LICENCING

Licencing practices and policies applying to commercial
fisheries are continuously being reviewed and revised in
light of information on current biologic and economic con-
ditions. In July of 1966, a policy statement respecting the
licensing of fisheries on Lake Huron was announced. It

provided for the expansion of existing fisheries; the elimina-
tion of licences under which the fishing privileges were not
being exercised; and the restriction of entry into the fishery
through new licensing. Previous provisions for transferring
a fishery and for experimental fishing were retained.
The objective was to strengthen the fishery resource man-
agement program through which the active Lake Huron-
Georgian Bay fishermen would have a better opportunity to
attain a level of income comparable to that enjoyed by those
employed in other industries in the community. At the same
time, the objectives of allowing full and multiple resource
use while ensuring continuing optimum yields continued as
the basic frame of reference.
ORGANIZATION CHANGES

The Commercial Fish Unit was enlarged in 1966 by the addi-
tion of a classification for a third biologist. The position was
filled in 1967. The new position will allow attention to be
directed more fully to the program of data collection from
commercial catches and more reliable quota decisions. The
use of quotas as a means of fixing the commercial harvest
to an optimum level is increasing. Information obtained by
examining the species, size and age composition of com-
mercial catches of fish will aid in setting quotas. It also
provides a basis for other management decisions.
FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Instruction in modern fishing techniques and in the proper
care of fish was provided Indians in Northern Ontario under
the Federal-Provincial Resources Development Agreement

in 1966. Maintenance and repair of nets and their efficient
use was demonstrated, along with the recommended
methods of icing and packing fish products. The work is
expected to raise the level of efficiency of operation, and to
increase the quality and the value of the fish. The aim is
to help commercial fishermen in northern communities
achieve a better living from the resource.
At Lake of the Woods, personnel from the Regional Net
Section at Port Arthur demonstrated trap nets for a third
season. Commercial fishermen, who have traditionally used
gill nets, were acquainted with the design and use of this
type of impounding net. At the same time, its feasibility for
use in Lake of the Woods was tested further. Many fisher-
men were impressed with the effectiveness of the trap net
and some acknowledged their intention of converting their
present fisheries to this form of gear. The increasing use
of trap nets in lieu of gill nets is expected to have a bene-
ficial effect on relations between the various interests who
depend on the fishery to provide either profit or recreation.
Competition for space or for particular species can be
materially reduced where trap nets can be employed.
Initial steps were taken to develop programs for exploratory
trawling in Lake Huron, and for the granting of technical
and financial assistance in pilot studies carried out by the
fishing industry in areas of fish transport and processing.
The decision to expand projects in these fields was based
upon the need to encourage the establishment of markets
for abundant but, presently, little used species in Ontario
waters, and to develop modern fisheries by which these fish
can be taken efficiently and profitably.
In 1966, the Department maintained a bait fish market intel-
ligence service in southern Ontario through which informa-
tion on supplies was collected from wholesalers of bait and
conveyed to dealers looking for expanded or new sources
of supply. The wholesaling side of the bait fish industry has
developed significantly in recent years and may be credited
with a major portion of the $1.3 million in sales recorded
in 1966. Wholesaling enterprises, with their greater capitaliz-
ation in catching and holding equipment and facilities, have
contributed materially to much needed continuity in bait
fish supplies. They had not been fully effective in making
fish available because of lack of contact with the widespread
retail outlets. The market intelligence service has success-
fully eliminated much of this problem by introducing the
wholesalers to dealers.

A bait fish workshop, which afforded persons in the industry
an opportunity of obtaining technical advice from fish cul-
turists and biologists, was conducted. Instruction was given
in capturing techniques, handling procedures, holding and
transportation methods and disease treatment. In addition,
the fundamentals of culturing bait fish were discussed.
Further advice and assistance was provided by an experi-
enced fish culturist who visited sites of operation, inspected
facilities and examined fish for disease at intervals during
the season.

REGULATIONS

Regulations requiring the holder of a commercial fishing
licence to report his fishing activity each month were
amended in 1966. Reports were required to be submitted to
field offices instead of Fish and Wildlife Branch seven days
earlier, on the 8th of each month. After preliminary check-
ing, the reports are forwarded to the Commercial Fish Unit
for coding and data processing. As a result of these changes,
information needed for the administration of quotas and for
other management purposes became available to Depart-
mental personnel at an earlier date, and reliability was
increased. Unnecessary delay in the preparation of tabula-
tions and summaries of fishing statistics was removed.
Monofilament gill nets, which have been found to be more
efficient than nets constructed with woven nylon fibres, were

banned from Lake Ontario at the request of the Eastern
Lake Ontario Commercial Fishermen's Association. In this
instance, the fears of the fishermen that the gear would be
too efficient in their whitefish fishery was the basis for the
action.

Development and expansion of the bait-fish industry led to
a change in licensing regulations and a resultant fee in-
crease in 1966. For the first time, all bait-fish fishermen were
required to obtain a bait-fish dealer's licence before live bait
fish, taken under the authority of a seine net, dip net or trap
licence, were sold. As a result of this change, the number of
dealer's licences more than doubled over the previous year.
The regulations with respect to the use of dip nets to take
coarse fish for personal use were amended for 1965, allow-
ing holders of the licence to harvest whitefish or herring in
October, November or December from waters designated in
the licence. This permission is not granted for waters in
which commercial fishing for whitefish is carried out.
The Department did not introduce regulations to restrict
taking of kokanee. This new introduction into parts of Lake
Huron and Lake Ontario began to show evidence during the
year of successful survival from plantings made two years
earlier. It was considered essential to obtain maximum in-
formation about this exotic species before inaugurating any
restrictions on its capture.

PROJECTS

Measurements and scale samples were obtained from
several thousand walleye and whitefish taken in commercial
nets, following the implementation of commercial catch in-
spections by the Fish and Wildlife staff on Lakes Erie, St.
Clair and Huron. Information concerning the abundance,
growth, mortality and reproduction of fishes thus obtained
has value in determining proper management measures. It
is planned that this program will be further developed on
these lakes and extended to other major commercial
fisheries.

Attention was focused during the year to solution of prob-
lems in the marketing of Ontario fish and fish products. A
special study was conducted on the subject of benefits to
the industry arising from a proposed licensing of fish dealers
in Ontario. Staff worked on an inter-provincial committee
considering details of a fish marketing organization as pro-
posed by the Royal Commission on Freshwater Fish Market-
ing, and the subject was brought before the fishery. In Lake
Erie, the Prices Support Board began a one-year price sup-
port program placing a floor price of 10 cents per pound on
yellow perch. The program was later extended to include all
Ontario produced yellow perch.
THE COMMERCIAL FISHERY

The fishery produced over 56 million pounds of fish in 1966,
worth nearly six million dollars to the primary producers.
Total capital in the fishery was valued at over 10 million
dollars. As a result of Departmental policies, the total num-
ber of fisheries continued to decline, with the number of
licences down to 1,822 from 1,881 in 1965. Reduction in the
number of fishing enterprises along with increased catch
resulted in a slight increase in the average earning per
fishing unit.

Fisheries Inventory

This Unit is responsible for the development of an efficient
inventory of the waters of the Province; for coordinating and
enlarging the province-wide lake and stream survey pro-
grams; for establishing data retrieval and analysis systems
for the use of inventory information for management pur-
poses, and for the dissemination to the public and other
agencies.
PROJECTS

it was possible to accomplish much in the way of planning
during the short period the Unit was functional in the 1966-
1967 fiscal year. The groundwork was laid for a data process-
ing system to handle data from over 3,000 lakes which have

been surveyed to date. A start was made on standardizing
lake survey techniques and equipment. The Unit also began
preliminary work for the rating of sport fishing lakes under
the A.R.D.A. C.L.I, program. The sport fish capability classifi-
cation of lakes embraces all lakes in the A.R.D.A. areas,
involving 14 of the 22 administrative Districts. Proposals for
making lake maps and survey information available to the
general public was investigated, and preliminary plans made
for the drafting of suitable material.

A lake sun/ey manual was prepared for use by the field
staff, outlining minimal requirements for lake surveys and
bringing up-to-date the methods by which biological, chemi-
cal, and physical information should be obtained and
recorded. The testing of the manual by field parties for
effective use in the field was followed by evaluations after
the field season was complete.

Three teams of two sudent biologists each were assigned
to lake survey work in the Lindsay, Sault Ste. Marie and
Port Arthur Districts to augment the programs already estab-
lished by the field staffs. These teams were able to survey
an additional 38 lakes during a four-month field season.

Indian Resource Development

This Unit is responsible for the administration and coordina-
tion of the Federal-Provincial Resources Development agree-
ment; development of programs for Indian-use of the
resources; liaison between Indians, Indian Affairs Branch
and the Department.

The Federal-Provincial Resources Development Agreement
between the Department of Lands and Forests and the
Indian Affairs Branch became effective April 1st, 1962. The
agreement is designed to improve the livelihood of persons
resident in the remote underdeveloped areas of Ontario,
most of whom are Indian, and to develop and manage the
renewable natural resources on which these residents
depend for all or a substantial part of their livelihood.

Table 26

ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS

STATISTICS OF THE FISHING INDUSTRY IN THE PUBLIC WATERS OF ONTARIO

FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1966

The agreement applies to all matters relating to resource
development, management, and harvesting and might in-
clude commercial fishing, fishing and hunting for domestic
use, tourism, wild rice, forestry, big game surveys, park
development and trapper development.
In order to set up and carry out the program, meetings are
held annually with representatives of the Department of
Lands and Forests, Indian Affairs Branch and Indian Band
representatives. The projects are planned and carried out
by the District staff of the Department of Lands and Forests.

NURSERY SOIL MANAGEMENT

The objective is to maintain the balance of main nutrients
in the soil for production of top quality seedlings for plant-
ing in Ontario. For this purpose, 398 soil samples and 378
plant samples, consisting of approximately 15,000 seedlings,
were analyzed for a chemical composition of soil and plant.
The analysis data are used for an evaluation of soil and
plant condition as well as in the preparation of soil amend-
ments for production of high quality stock.
Various herbicides and soil fumigants are being tested and
successfully used in reduction of disease, control of weeds,
increase of seed germination and seedling growth.
Studies are carried out in optimum fertilizer levels, the
relationship of fertilizer and stock density to growth and
the use of irrigation water.

Nursery diseases, seedling nutrition and nursery soil fer-
tility studies are undertaken on a co-operative basis with
the Department of Forestry and Rural Development.
SEED COLLECTION

The inventory of forest tree seed in storage at the Ontario
Tree Seed Plant at Angus, as of June 1, 1966, was about
1,693,000,000 viable seeds of 46 species, weighing 339,765
ounces or more than 10.5 tons and valued at approximately
$240,000.00.

The 1966 crop year was a good one for the pines but a poor
one for the spruces.

TREE IMPROVEMENT

The tree improvement program, concerned with increasing
the quality and quantity of seed available, was continued
through the selection of additional "plus trees", the develop-
ment of seed production areas and the planting of grafted
trees in seed orchards. During the year, 8,140 scions were
collected from "plus" trees for grafting at four co-operating
nurseries. In addition, 1,000 scions from white pine trees
showing resistance to blister rust were grafted. A total of
10.1 acres of seed production area were thinned, released
or otherwise improved for seed production purposes. Some
2,863 grafted trees for seed orchards were planted on 21.8
acres. Provenance tests in jack pine were established on
20 acres in six Districts in co-operation with the Department
of Forestry and Rural Development.

TREES CONSERVATION

Under authority of The Trees Act, and with the approval of
the Minister of Lands and Forests, counties or municipali-
ties in territorial districts may pass by-laws to restrict and
regulate the destruction of trees by cutting, burning or other
means.

Such by-laws have been passed by the following to permit
the cutting of important species to certain diameter limits,
and indicates the concern felt by those municipalities for
the management of privately owned woodlands.
Counties:

Brant, Bruce, Dufferin, Elgin, Grey, Haldimand, Halton,
Hastings, Huron, Lambton, Leeds & Grenville, Lincoln,
Middlesex, Norfolk, Northumberland & Durham, Oxford,

Private Land Forestry

This Act authorizes the Minister to enter into forestry agree-
ments with private landowners to reforest idle land and to
rehabilitate existing woodlands. The field assistance service
under The Woodlands Improvement Act is provided free to
landowners who qualify under the Act.
Under Regulations OC-2854/66 of The Woodlands Improve-
ment Act 1966, 33 management areas were designated in
southern Ontario. Ten were scheduled to receive benefits
under the program effective January 1, 1967. Management
Areas designated included single counties or a combination
of one or more counties.

Management planning for the designated Management
Areas began immediately. Forestry work programs were pre-
pared for 164 new Woodlands Improvement Act agreements
in the Management Areas scheduled to receive the assist-
ance in 1967. In all districts, forestry advice and service
were provided to individual forest owners and organizations
to improve forestry on private lands.

STAND IMPROVEMENT

Stand improvement encompasses both the treating of forest
stands to achieve maximum quality and quantity, and
special harvesting techniques to aid natural regeneration.
During the fiscal year 1966-1967, 102.658 acres of Crown
lands and 5,976 acres of Agreement Forests received treat-
ment to improve the quality and quantity of the final crop.
SPECIAL PROJECTS

Prison Camps: About 17,000 man-days of labour were pro-
vided to this Department by the inmates of the forestry
camps operated by the Department of Reform Institutions.
The total area covered in this program was 1,300 acres.
Beaver Creek Correctional Camp, near Gravenhurst, oper-
ated by the Collins Bay Penitentiary, also supplied about
900 man-days of inmate labour.

Junior Rangers: Timber work, includmg tree planting, stand
improvement, cone collection and nursery work, occupied
15,000 man-days. The total area covered in this program was
5,400 acres.

TIMBER SECTION

Forest Management Planning

The development of forest areas is based on management
plans that provide detailed information about the volume of
annual cut, cutting methods, regeneration treatments, road
and camp locations, and other facts essential to orderly
management. The plans are based on such considerations
as the arrangement of species and age-classes on produc-
tive forest lands, the proximity to existing road networks,
division of the forest into compartments, and the age of
maturity of the main groups of species.
Standard management plans are based on inventory data
gathered using photo interpretation, point sampling, and
computer compilation methods. The information is entered
in stand ledgers, which also serve as a record of changes.
Standard plans have been prepared following the re-
inventory of Crown management units started in 1958. The
essentials of this type of planning are contained in the
Manual of Management Plan Requirements.
The initial management plans, based on the inventory
method used prior to 1958, are retained until replaced with
standard plans, and form the basis for the management of
a large proportion of the Crown management units in the
Province.

Management plans form a framework into which 10-year
operating plans are fitted. An operating plan shows in detail
the stands to be cut, regenerated, and tended, the roads to
be built, and other improvements to be made to carry out
operations on the management units.
The status of management plans is as follows:

5,001.5 sq. mi.
13,463.2 sq. mi.
67,043.5 sq. mi.

5,001.8 sq. mi.

155.0 sq. mi.

64,199.5 sq. mi.

4,530.9 sq. mi.
25,730.7 sq. mi,

4,881.8 sq. mi.

Table 19

1. Crown Management Units: The plans for these units are
prepared by Department staff. There are 78 Crown man-
agement units covering 90,665.0 square miles with 70
management plans:

9 standard management plans in force
13 plans being processed for approval
48 initial management plans in force

7 management units not under plans

1 unit operating under approved
operating plan

2. Company Management Units: The management plans for
Company management units are prepared by licensees.
There are 66 Company units with 99,342.9 square miles
under licence to 45 companies. The status of management
planning for these units is as follows:
43 approved management plans

9 plans being processed for approval
12 plans not yet due

2 units inactive
The explanation for the 12 plans not yet due is that be-
cause of changes in area, etc., 12 licensees have been

required to prepare new management plans.

3. Agreement Forest Units: The management plans for these
units are prepared by Department staff. There are 60
units covering approximately 329 square miles. The status
of management planning for the Agreement Forest units
is as follows:

6 approved standard plans 46,336 acres

20 being processed for approval 58,%2 acres

16 plans in the process of preparation 49,696 acres

18 interim or annual plans in force and

land acquired since inventory 55,430 acres

Total — 329 square miles, or 210,424 acres

Scaling

In an effort to adjust the Department's scaling methods to
the fast changing techniques of cutting and moving wood
from stump to mill, extensive trials were conducted with
the new concepts of wood measurement, designed to speed
up and simplify scaling operations while retaining control
over movement of wood.

The most promising wood measuring methods in this
respect to date are; tree length scaling, weight scaling, and
sample scaling. In addition, some preliminary work was
done in connection with the development of a simple log
grading technique for hardwoods and pine, where an
estimate of quality for timber cut and scaled is of a particu-
lar value to all concerned.

The need for speeding up scaling and, returning of scaled
wood has been recognized by the Department for some
time. This has become more apparent in view of rapidly
changing bush operations, resulting in much faster move-
ment of wood. In recognition of these changes and in an
effort to improve efficiency of scaling, an operational trial
was conducted in one District with the adaptation of scaling
to the computer programming systems. Since the results
from this full scale operation were quite satisfactory, further
trials, on a larger scale, will be conducted next fiscal year.
Scaling examinations were held during the past year at the
following locations on the dates noted: Ontario Forest Tech-
nical School, Dorset, April 7, 1966; Huntsville, May 20, 1966;
and Sault Ste. Marie, Sept. 23, 1966.

A total of 253 licences were issued, a lower figure than
previous years due to the fact that a 1965 change in regu-
lations provided for renewal on a three-year basis.

Marketing and Forest Economics

Ontario's forest industries occupy an extremely important
position in relation to the total economy of the Province.
According to 1964 D.B.S. information, this industry group
accounts directly for 66,000 jobs, pays $317 million in sal-
aries and wages, ships goods worth nearly $1.3 billion and
has a value added in manufacturing of more than $621
million. This represents 9.2% of the total number of em-
ployees in the Province, 8.7% of the total salaries and
wages paid, 8.1% of the value of all goods shipped, and
8.3% of the total value added bv manufacture. It also repre-
sents a contribution of about $120 to the Gross Provincial
Product for each 100 cubic feet of wood used.
Forest industry expansions which have already taken place
put Ontario in a good position to take advantage of the
expected increases in world demand for forest products in
the early 1970's. However, softness in the world pulp markets
due to excess capacity and cut-backs in house construction
i resulted in no appreciable gains for 1966.
Large scale forest industry development projects usually
require two or three years lead time and, in spite of short
term market difficulties, there has been considerable
interest in new pulp industries and further expansions of
existing facilities in Ontario.

Licencing of Mills: The number of mills licenced under the
Crown Timber Act in 1966 totalled 944 as compared to 964
in the previous year. Sawmills continued their long term
downward trend, with the greatest change occurring in mills
of low capacity.

Table 20

Sawmills:

Daily lumber capacity over 50 M f.b.m. 25

Miscellaneous sawn products 97

Veneer Mills 28

Sale of Timber

The volume and value of wood cut from Crown lands during
1965-1966 was almost identical with the year previous. How-
ever, there was an increase in the consumption of wood
chips produced as a by-product of sawmilling operations of
44,617 cords. This brings the cord equivalent of chips pro-
duced by sawmills to more than 438,000 cords in 1966, or
enough wood to supply the full requirements of a large
sized pulp mill. Pulpwood and boltwood purchased from
patented lands was down by nearly 150,000 cords during
1966.

FORESTRY STUDY UNIT

Under its Director, J. A. Brodie. the Forestry Study Unit,
established September 1. 1964, continued its investigation
of forestry problems in Ontario. Mr. Brodie has been asso-
ciated with the Department of Lands and Forests since 1923
and was Chief of the Timber Branch from 1956 to 1964. The
hearings have been completed and the report is being
written.

OPERATIONS BRANCH

The objectives of the Operations Branch are to promote
public understanding of Department activities and purposes;
to encourage good safety practices in forest work and recre-
ational activities; and to effect efficiency in purchasing and
other services for the Department. The branch is divided
into six sections — Office Management, Purchasing, Central
Supply Warehouse, Conservation Information, Conservation
Education and Accident Control.

The following is a brief summary of Operations Branch
activity during the past fiscal year.

OFFICE MANAGEMENT

Inventory of major equipment belonging to the Department
was conducted. Departmental circulars and bulletins were
processed and distributed. Communication with the federal
Department of Transport for licensing Department boats was
maintained. Records of Crown lands were kept.

PURCHASING

Supplies were stored in quantities based on consumption
rates and shipped upon requisition. Requirements of all 10
Branches were either supplied from warehouse stock or
purchased directly.

CENTRAL SUPPLY WAREHOUSE

Supplies and equipment shipped by the Section amounted
to 244 tons. Supplies received totalled 348 tons. Forms,
reports, booklets, circulars and bulletins were produced,
collated and distributed.

Thirty types of hunting, angling, bait fish, roll net, dip net,
frog, guide, trapping, trap-line and dog licences were issued
to licence issuers and district offices. The number of
licences prepared and checked for mailing and express
totalled 1,756,000 and were forwarded on 15,233 invoices to
more than 3,000 issuers. 168,900 Provincial Park annual
vehicle permits, 378,000 daily permits, 304,900 campsite
permits and 290.500 fur seals were distributed.

CONSERVATION INFORMATION

The Section worked through many media to disseminate
information. A weekly news release, with a mailing list of
3,500, circulated Department news, regulations and informed
opinion. News of more than normal urgency was supplied
directly to news outlets by press releases. Articles and back-
ground material were prepared on request. Speech material
for Department personnel was also prepared.
The Photograph Library loaned 9,500 black-and-white orints
and 1,000 colour transparencies. The library now has 35,000
negatives and 4,700 colour transparencies.
During the year, 35,300 answers were returned by mail to
persons requesting information.

CONSERVATION EDUCATION

The Section's film library contains 233 titles. Approximately.,
1,350 films were loaned to field offices. I

A set of 15 one-minute television shorts entitled "Do you.
know?" were made available. Footage for a new nursery
film, "Seeds to Trees", was gathered.
Visual conservations appeals were featured in the Departs
ment's exhibits at shows and fairs. Major exhibits were^
mounted for the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto;
Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa; and the Royal Agricul-
tural Winter Fair, Toronto.

Illustrated lectures on all aspects of the Department's work
were given. Head office and field staff presented 2,576'
lectures to audiences totalling 209,502 during the year.

ACCIDENT CONTROL
THE LOGGERS' SAFETY ACT

During 1966, approximately 824 inspections of logging
operations were made. Accident Control officers attended
96 meetings having regard to the application of the Act.
HUNTER SAFETY TRAINING

In 1966, 19,342 students graduated compared to 17,577 in
1965, making a total of 121,953 graduates since the program
began in 1957. Several instructors' workshops were con-
ducted.

SAFETY IN PROVINCIAL PARKS

During the months July to September, the Department
sponsored a "Water Safety Demonstration" program spon-
sored by the Ontario Safety League. The demonstrations
were viewed by more than 150,000 persons.
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION

Workmen's Compensation costs and the number of claims
submitted have increased for the fiscal year The total num-
ber of compensable claims was 588, an increase of 21 over
that for the previous fiscal year. Total cost of Department
claims was $171,315.47, an increase of $26,642.76. Average
cost per claim was $159.00, an increase of $41.00 per claim.

PARKS BRANCH

The main objective of the Parks Branch is to reserve areas
and establish Provincial Parks that will accommodate exist-
ing and anticipated demands of recreational and edu-
cational activities usually associated with the natural
environment. The Branch is divided into three sections —
Recreational Planning, Park Planning and Development, and

I Park Management.

I During the past fiscal year, 92 Provincial Parks were oper-
ated, including three new parks — Arrowhead, Ferris and
North Beach. Approximately 3Va million acres of Provincial
Park land was available for the enjoyment of the public. A
further 500,000 acres is designated as reserve for future
development as Provincial Parks.

The 1966 season was the most successful operating season
in the history of Provincial Parks in Ontario. Visitations in-
creased over the previous year by 10 per cent to an all-time
high of 9,791,671. Camper use increased by seven per cent,
providing some 2,653,035 camper days. A total of 994,787
campers were recorded by permit in 1966. Although park
fees remained unchanged, revenue increased some $215,000
to a total of $2,100,000 in 1966.

PARK DEVELOPMENT

Development appropriations were increased to $2,500,000,
resulting in an additional 1,000 campsites, 23 comfort
stations, 18 trailer dumping stations, eight major water and
sewerage systems, and expanded parking area and beach
development. This expansion took place in existing Pro-
vincial Parks and as part of initial development of four
parks to be opened in the 1967-1968 fiscal year period.
HUNTING IN PARKS

Public hunting was continued in a number of Provincial
Parks in southern Ontario — an area where such grounds
are limited and demand is high. Waterfowl hunting under
licence was permitted in Presqu'ile, Darlington, Holiday
Beach, Long Point and Rondeau. Put and take pheasant
hunting was very popular at Presqu'ile, Darlington and
Sibbald Point parks this year. Hunting is not permitted in
parks except those covered by regulations under The Game
and Fish Act.

LA\A/ BRANCH

I i

The objective of the Law Branch is to provide legal counsel
and services for the Department, and to maintain services
of the Patents Office.

At the Session of the Legislature which convened on the
25th day of January, 1967, and prorogued on the 15th day of
June, 1967, amendments were made to five statutes admini-
stered by the Department.

The definition of "forestry purposes" in The Forestry Act
was amended to provide that the term includes the produc-
tion of wood and wood products, provision of proper environ-
mental conditions for wildlife, protection against floods and
erosion, recreation, and protection and production of water
supplies.

The Game and Fish Act, 1961-62, was amended to provide
for management agreements with owners of land respecting
hunting and fishing rights, habitat improvement work, pro-
tective measures, stocking programs, fencing and erection
of signs and other management practices. On registration
such agreements are binding upon subsequent owners.
The Public Lands Act was amended to provide for agree-
ments with owners of land respecting the erection, mainten-
ance, and operation thereon of a public work within the
meaning of The Public Works Act and to provide that, upon
registration, such agreements are binding upon subsequent
owners.

The Surveys Act was amended to authorize regulations
establishing, governing and regulating systems of co-
ordinate surveys.

The definition of "forestry purposes" in The Trees Act was
amended in the same manner as the definition in The
Forestry Act.

ACCOUNTS BF^AIMCH

The main objectives of the Accounts Branch are to provide
a complete financial management service to the Depart-
ment, and to maintain a system of property taxation in
unorganized areas of the Province.

During the year ended March 31, 1967, cash receipts of the
Department totalled $27,417,794.21. This represents an in-

crease of $1,081,439.41 over the previous year. Total cash
disbursements amounted to $42,212,898.28, representing an
excess of $14,795,104.07.

The increase in disbursements is accounted for by the
expanding program in land acquisition and development,
and the overall increase in operating costs.

RESEARCH BRAIMCH

The objective of the Research Branch is to provide manage-
iment with useful, tested information on fishery, forest and
iwildlife resources, and to develop management techniques.
'The Branch is divided into' four sections — Fisheries,
I Forestry, Wildlife and Mechanical.

The following is a brief review of Research Branch activity

during the past fiscal year.

FISHERIES

GREAT LAKES PROGRAM

Lake Ontario: In 1966, studies designed to understand
factors limiting the survival of juvenile whitefish were
initiated in the laboratory. Lake trout (in co-operation with
New York State), walleye and American eel projects were
continued. An attempt to establish kokanee — a land-locked
variety of sockeye salmon — as a new species for both com-
mercial and recreational fishery is being made.
Lake Erie: Smelt and yellow perch have become the princi-
pal species of importance to commercial fishermen in Lake
Erie. Most of the research was on reproduction, distribution
and food of these two species.

Lake Huron: The present emphasis of research in Lake
Huron is on whitefish, and the principal concern is the wide
variation in the year class success which causes fluctua-
tions of abundance from year to year.

GAME FISH

The Harkness Laboratory was operated again in 1966 and,
in addition to the continued analysis of long-accumulated
creel census data, projects included experimental plantings,
population dynamics, lake trout biology, and plankton feed-
ing versus fish feeding lake trout.

FORESTRY
SILVICULTURE

Northwestern Ontario: In 1966, the field program was domi-
nated by re-examination work on a large number of long-
term regeneration and stand development plots accordmg
to their five-year re-measurement schedule. Another import-
ant development was the establishment of a program of
research for black spruce — a species which had not re-
ceived sufficient research attention in the past.

Central Ontario: Since the start of work in this region in
1959, concentration has been on laboratory and field studies
of problems of tree nutrition, particularly in spruce species,
and studies of the productivity, ecology and racial variation
of red spruce.

South-Central Ontario: The forester in charge of research
work in the region was occupied almost exclusively in
furthering the large-scale planting operations of tubed seed-
lings by the Timber Branch. In the late spring and summer
of 1966, a number of tubed seedling production sites in the
districts were visited with oarticular reference to overcom-
ing problems which had arisen in germinating seed and in
growing seedlings.

Southwestern Ontario: Research in this region aims to
suggest good forest management practices on stands most
of which are in private ownership and have become derelict.
Particular attention was given in 1966 to the propagation and
cultural treatment of silver maple and eastern Cottonwood,
largely to replace the heavy mortality in elm from the Dutch
elm disease.

Southeastern Ontario: Research in this region has been
primarily concerned with the ecology of the tolerant hard-
wood association, especially the treatment of cutover stands
to improve quality. The principal projects are prescribed
burning and the silvics of basswood. The objective of the
prescribed burning project is to determine the effects of fire
in hardwood stands to improve regeneration.

REFORESTATION

Nursery and planting: The objective of this program is the
procurement of information, through research, for the
scientific advancement of the reforestation program of the
Department. The work was initiated in 1953, and the chief
areas of attention are nursery operations, handling of ship-
ping stock, planting methods, frost damage to plantations,
and fertilization.

TREE BREEDING

The aim of forest tree breeding is to supply seed and plant
materials that, from a genetic standpoint, are best suited
for the purposes of artificial forest regeneration. These
studies were initiated in 1946 and are comprised principally
of white pine and poplar projects.

01

SITE

The objective of the site research program is to determine
the productivity of land. Consequently, work has been
directed toward obtaining knowledge pertaining to the
relationships between soils, climates, and crops, and to
organize this information into a classification system adapt-
able to various types of management with the forest being
the major crop considered.

WILDLIFE

Wildlife research has been directed toward the furthering of
our knowledge of economically important birds and mam-
mals, and to suggest means by which these could be of
greater value to the trapper, hunter, naturalist, and the
general public. Research projects have been developed
around most of the major species of wildlife which provide
sustenance or sport in Ontario.

Close co-operation is maintained between Research person-
nel and the staff of the Fish and Wildlife Branch.
FURBEARERS

The management of populations of furbearing animals is
probably more complex than for other species of wildlife.
Essentially, there are two groups of factors influencing the
production of fur: socio-economic and biological. To date,
ifurbearer research has been chiefly concerned with biologi-
cal factors affecting fur production.

Research is continuing on the dynamics of beaver popula-
tions and the influence of various factors including trapping
pressure.

WILDLIFE DISEASES AND PARASITES
Research staff provided a diagnostic service to field staff in
conjunction with the continuing survey of diseases and
parasites of wildlife. The use by field staff of a recently
prepared manual on this subject greatly assisted this
project.

UPLAND GAME AND WATERFOWL

Research continued in various species and sub-species of
grouse and Canada geese, both in Ontario and elsewhere,
with the ultimate objective of discovering whether a biologic
tag could be found which could be used at any time of the
year to determine the origin and distribution of discrete
populations.

BIG GAME

Big game research, which is mostly of an ecological nature,
is conducted on deer, moose and woodland caribou. Data
were again collected in 1966 from the network of stations
established to record snow depth — probably the most
severe factor affecting survival and distribution of deer.
Major logging activity during the 1850-1910 period resulted
in residual stands that were favourable to deer until re-
cently. Much of this forest has again become too mature
for deer. Research is concentrating on learning to create an ■
optimum balance between deer and timber crops.
PREDATORS

During 1966, the wolf predator control program has been
directed to training fur-trapping licencees to accept the
responsibility for control of their trap lines. Extensive pro-
grams of this nature were implemented in the Parry Sound
and Pembroke districts. There are tentative plans to carry
out similar extension training programs in other districts
where it would be considered necessary.

MECHANICAL

The main work of the Section during the year was, as in the
past, concerned with the development of special equipment
and instruments required for the Research Branch in
Fisheries, Forestry and Wildlife. Special equipment was also
designed for other Branches of the Department. In addi-
tion, the Section provided engineering services to the
Department.

TIMBER BRANCH

The main objective of the Timber Branch is to provide
through sound forest management the highest possible
yields of Crown forests consistent with the economic re-
quirements of forest industry and the general welfare of the
Province's citizens. The Branch is divided into three sec-
tions — Reforestation, Silviculture and Timber.
The following is a brief review of Timber Branch activities
in the past fiscal year.

iREFORESTATION

TREE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION

In the year under review, sufficient seed was sown at the 10
forest tree nurseries for the production of 62,933,000 units
of planting stock.

AGREEMENT FOREST ADMINISTRATION

A total of $120,954.72 in grants to assist with the acquisition
of lands was paid during the year. Canada contributed to
Ontario $40,645.26 of the foregoing amount under agreement
made between Canada and Ontario pursuant to their respec-
tive Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Acts.
PRIVATE LAND FORESTRY

Under The Woodlands Improvement Act 1966, 33 manage-
ment areas were designated in southern Ontario. Another 10
were scheduled to receive benefits under the program
effective January 1, 1967.

Forestry work programs were prepared for 164 new Wood-
lands Improvement Act agreements in the Management
Areas scheduled to receive assistance in 1967.
In all districts, forestry advice and service were provided
individual forest owners and organizations.

SILVICULTURE

FOREST RESOURCES INVENTORY

During the year under review, air photography was com-
pleted on 22,412 square miles in northwestern Ontario and
2,830 square miles in southern Ontario.
Inventory field work was carried out on 7,683 square miles
in the Sault Ste. Marie, Fort Frances and Kenora Districts.
Forest stand maps and tabulated inventory data, such as
area classification, detailed stand description, volume and
area summaries by age-classes, were completed on 13,201
square miles.

The multiplex plotting machine was used to determine con-
tour and form lines on three Provincial Parks covering an
area of 11,470 acres.

The photo processing unit produced 115.809 contact prints,
2,518 mosaics, 2,573 enlargements, 419 diapositives, 710
copy negatives, and 1.395 cronaflex reproductions.

FOREST MANAGEMENT PLANNING

The status of management plans is as follows:

1. Crown Management Units: The plans for these units are
prepared by Department staff. There are 78 Crown man-
agement units covering 90,665.0 square miles with 70
management plans:

9 standard management plans in force
13 plans being processed for approval
48 initial management plans in force

7 management units not under plans

1 unit operating under approved
operating plan

2. Company Management Units: The management plans for
Company management units are prepared by licensees.
There are 66 Company units with 99,342.9 square miles
under licence to 45 companies. The status of management
planning for these units is as follows:

43 approved management plans
9 plans being processed for approval
12 plans not yet due

2 units inactive

The explanation for the 12 plans not yet due is that be-
cause of changes in area, etc., 12 licensees have been

required to prepare new management plans.

units are prepared by Department staff. There are 60
units covering approximately 329 square miles. The status '
of management planning for the Agreement Forest units |
is as follows:

6 approved standard plans 46,336 acres

20 being processed for approval 58,%2 acres

16 plans in the process of preparation 49,696 acres

18 interim or annual plans in force and

land acquired since inventory 55,430 acres i

Total —329 square miles, or 210,424 acres

MARKETING AND FOREST ECONOMICS

Forest industry expansions which have already taken place
put Ontario in a good position to take advantage of the
expected increases in world demand for forest products in
the early 1970's. However, softness in the world pulp markets
due to excess capacity and cut-backs in house construction
resulted in no appreciable gains for 1966.

SALE OF TIMBER

The volume and value of wood cut from Crown lands during
1965-1966 was almost identical with the year previous. How-
ever, there was an increase in the consumption of wood
chips produced as a by-product of sawmilling operations of
44,617 cords. This brings the cord equivalent of chips pro-
duced by sawmills to more than 438.000 cords in 1966, or
enough wood to supply the full requirements of a large
sized pulp mill. Pulpwood and boltwood purchased from
patented lands was down by nearly 150,000 cords durinp
1966.

LANDS AIMD SURVEYS BRANCH

The main objectives of the Lands and Surveys Branch are
to maintain a rational basis for Crown land retention; to
develop, implement and maintain Land Use Plans; and to
conduct Crown surveys. The Branch is divided into four
sections — Lands, Land Acquisition and Planning, Surveys
and Engineering.

The following is a brief review of Research Branch activity
during the past fiscal year.

LANDS

The uses for public lands are becoming more diversified
and more dependent on and related to other areas of public
administration. This has led to increased liaison and co-
operation with people concerned with public health, water
pollution, roads and land use planning in other Departments
of Government.

In collaboration with the Department of Municipal Affairs,
two new restricted areas were established during the year
and real progress made towards developing several new
townsites.

Interest in summer cottage lots continued to increase during
the year and sales increased. Increased interest was shown
in commercial summer resort properties, water lot occupa-
tions and ownership of beach lands.

LAND ACQUISITION AND PLANNING

Subsequent to the announcement of the Land Acquisition
program in 1962, this Department has acquired 93,356 acres
of land for water access points, district improvements,
general recreation (day use), parks, timber management,
wilderness areas, nature reserves and wildlife management
purposes.

This year. Treasury Board approved 53 proposals covering
the acquisition of 71,887.95 acres, and an additional 46
proposals were approved- for the acquisition of 43,329 acres
by the Ontario Parks Integration Board. The number of acres
acquired this fiscal year amounted to 18,845.71, while almost
66,000 acres in total were considered and subsequently
rejected.

SURVEYS
CARTOGRAPHY

In pursuit of the objective to produce a total of 21 maps ir
a provincial topographic series on a scale 1 inch -^ 2 miles
to cover areas in Northern Ontario, map sheets designatec
Hornepayne, Calstock, Taradale. Obakamiga Lake, Timmin?
and Gogama were printed. Revised editions of one eight
mile, one four-mile and three miscellaneous maps were
produced, together with the last in a series of four surficiail
geology maps. '

Editing of nomenclature on maps produced by federal anci
provincial mapping agencies was continued, and more than'
600 new geographical names were recommended to the
Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names
for approval.
LEGAL SURVEYS

Drafting of area plans, special maps and charts, legal survey
plans resulting from departmental field survey activities,
graphic illustrations, and redrafting of township plans on a
scale 1 inch 20 chains continued. In addition, the loca-
tion and extent of all new alienations of Crown land con-
tinued to be plotted on township or area plans in order to
maintain a graphic illustration of the status of land through-
out the Province.

Field surveys for administrative purposes were carried out
by field survey crews, operating principally in the northern'
part of southern Ontario.

SURVEY RECORDS AND MAP DISTRIBUTION
Distribution of the Provincial Topographic Map series more
than doubled over the previous year, and an increase
occurred in the distribution of map sheets in the National
Topographic Map series mainly due to an issue of new and
revised sheets in the 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scale
series. The number of public inquiries requiring a search
of original plans and field notes of surveys of Crown lands
increased substantially.

ENGINEERING

This section continued to provide management of water
resources through approval of dams under The Lakes and
Rivers Improvement Act. Special engineering consultation
services were also provided for fisheries and waterfowl man-
agement projects.
ACCESS ROADS

Some 1,850 miles of forest access roads were maintained
during the fiscal year, which is an increase of 331 miles
over the previous year, and represents an increase of 100
per cent over the total number of miles of road maintained
during the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1964.

FISH AND VA/ILDLIFE BRANCH

The objectives of the Fish and Wildlife Branch are to man-
age lands and waters to ensure that the maximum recrea-
iiional and economic benefits are gained from wildlife and
I'ish species, and to permit the full harvest of the annual
iiatural increases of fish and game species on a sustained
yield basis. The Branch is divided into two sections — Wild-
ife and Fisheries.

The following is a brief review of Fish and Wildlife Branch
activity during the past fiscal year.

were sold in 1966 compared with 140,000 in 1965. In addi-
tion, 12,700 non-resident moose licence holders could hunt
deer if they wished. To obtain information on the hunt,
29,854 hunters were interviewed at checking stations and
3,719 were contacted in mailed surveys.

FUR MANAGEMENT

Beaver remains the most important fur-bearer in Ontario.
The slight drop in beaver harvest is attributed to a fall in
market value. The long hair furs (fisher, fox, lynx, marten,
raccoon) dropped considerably in market value. The value
of muskrat dropped by 50%.

The mink situation has been a source of concern for the
past four years. However, an encouraging increase of popu-
lation in the northwestern part of the Province has been
recorded. There has been a sharp decline in the mink
market. Prices were substantially lower compared to the
1965 crop sales. However, 47 new ranches were established
during 1966 and a production increase of 86,502 mink pelts
or 18.03%.
FIELD SERVICES

A comprehensive training program for conservation officers
has been established.

Registered convictions for the fiscal year totalled 2,626, an
increase of 279 over the previous year. Offences other than
those involving licences include:
Fishing:

1. Angling with more than two lines 165

2. Possession of overlimit of fish 156

3. Taking fish by means other than angling

4. Taking fish during closed season

5. Possession of fish during closed season

6. Possession of spear

1. Possession of loaded firearm in vehicle

2. Hunting in prohibited hours and jacklighting

3. Possession of loaded firearm in motor boat

4. Hunting in closed season

5. Possession of game in closed season

FISHERIES

Progress in reaching the objectives of fisheries management
was marked primarily by minor additions to staff and some;
reorganization, as well as redirection of emphasis of various,
programs. Perhaps most significant was the addition of ai
new Unit in the Fisheries Section to coordinate the lake
survey program across the Province — an important part o1
the field program of the Districts but which has been unable
to keep up to the necessary demand in recent years. The
Unit now consists of a senior biologist, a fisheries manage-
ment technician and a clerk. j
At the same time, the Commercial Fisheries Unit, through
adjustments in staff functions, was able to add a biologist
to initiate a program for the development of quota manage-
ment and more extensive fish sampling by the field staff.
The policy of initiating programs directed at assisting the
industry in exploring methods of catching fish, transporta-,
tion of quality products, and processing was established in]
principle. I

The addition of a Fisheries Management Unit to concentrate
on fisheries problems on Lakes Temagami and Nipissing
established a fifth such "intensive-study team" in a key
fishery water. At the same time, the importance of District
fisheries management officers was recognized, and two addi-
tional positions were created bringing the total number to
thirteen.

The Fish Culturist training program previously directed to
hatchery technicians was re-established and expanded to
include additional fisheries management training. In addi-
tion to hatchery technicians, biologists, fishery management
officers and conservation officers were offered the course to
improve their technical background in fish culture and field
management.

The program of modernizing and renovating the provincial
hatchery system was marked by the beginning of recon-
struction of the North Bay trout rearing station.
Gross revenue from the sale of angling licences in Ontario
is approaching three million dollars. Total sales in 1966
amounted to $2,971,295. Sales of all licences, including non-
resident seasonal, non-resident three-day, non-resident
organized camp, resident Provincial Park and resident Pro-
vincial Park organized camp, showed an increase. Sales of
non-resident three-day licence continued to rise from 69,401
in 1963 to 151,373 in 1966. The increase in revenue from total
licence sales this year was $124,178 or 4.3%, and constitutes
one of the more substantial increases in recent years.

FOREST PROTECmOlM BRANCH

The main objectives of the Forest Protection Branch are tc
protect Provincial forest lands from damage by fire and
pests, to protect life and property from forest fires, and toi
provide flying and communication services for the Depart-;
ment. The Branch is divided into two sections — Forest
Protection and Air Service.

Although the area burned over was one of the lowest on
record, the number of fires was the fifth highest on record
since 1917. For purposes of comparison, the average number
of fires during the past fifteen years (1951-1965) was 1,376
per year and the average area burned over during the same
period was 151,498 acres per year.

On July 22, 1966, in co-operation with the Ontario Forestry
Association, a historical plaque was unveiled near Matheson
commemorating the 50th anniversary of the forest fires
which ravaged Matheson and other neighbouring communi-
ties during July of 1916.

An experimental sferics-radar system was used to plot
lightning storm movement in North-western Ontario with the
objective of delineating areas requiring intensified detection
for lightning fire coverage.

An aircraft detection study, initiated in Sault Ste. Marie
District in 1963, was expanded to include two additional
areas of approximately 2,000 square miles each in the
Kenora and Temagami areas. Operating in addition to and
independently from the regular detection system, the results
were favourable. However, additional studies are required
before the system can be considered operational.

rii

A total of 300 Indians were given a 10-day course in fire
suppression bringing the total trained to date to 1,190. These
Indians are employed on a rotation basis as standby sup-
pression crews at strategic locations across the Province.
Forest pest control was carried out on 11.500 acres of Crown
owned or managed forest lands in 1956. The main effort
was concentrated on the white pine weevil, the European
pine sawfly, white pine blister rust and fomes root rot.
In an effort to provide additional skilled labour for removal
of diseased elm trees, the Department initiated and co-
ordinated an interdepartmental project to train 55 Indian
young men for this work.

The radio communications network was expanded to a total
of 2.605 receiver-transmitter units.

AIR SERVICE

Nine DeHavilland Turbo-Beavers and one Twin Otter were
purchased in continuation of the program to modernize the
Department's fleet of aircraft. A total of 15 Turbo-Beavers
are now in operation. Ten piston powered Beavers were sold
by public tender.

The "Ontario Integral Float Water Bombing System" was
installed in a total of 10 Otters and 15 Turbo-Beavers. Two
Otters and two Turbo-Beavers were also equipped with a
system designed to give the option of using plain water or
"Gelgard" additive. "Gelgard" is a chemical water thickener
which under certain conditions improves fire suppressive
action.

An air operations study has been initiated to provide guide-
lines to the present and long term development of the Air
Service.

Flying operations were carried out from 26 bases during the
fire season. Twelve of these bases provide year-round flying
service necessary in resources management work.

May 1 to September 30 to provide transportation in fighting
fires in areas not accessible to conventional aircraft.
