      Historique

      The Niagara Escarpment Task Force was appointed on May 1, 1972, and dissolved later that same year. The Task Force reported to the Ontario Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs.

      The Chairman of the Committee was S.J. Clasky, the Director of the Regional Development Branch of the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs. There were eight other members of the Task Force, plus a secretary, Research Officer, and other staff providing clerical services.

      Public hearings held by the Task Force were well attended and many submissions were received. The Task Force also conducted its own research and reviewed the proposals found in the Gertler Report of 1968.

      The Task Force made a great number of specific recommendations. These included the mandatory formulation of official plans by the municipalities encompassing escarpment land, the acquisition of unique ecological or historical areas by the Government of Ontario, limiting the recreational uses of the land, creating a restrictive zone near the escarpment where no pits or quarries would be allowed, the passage of a Niagara Escarpment Act, and the creation of a Niagara Escarpment Secretariat. The final report of the Committee contains a number of detailed maps showing areas affected by its recommendations.
