In Augu"st 1699, the TRCA hosled a slretegy aesslon tor municlpallqes, ptovinclal �eptesentaqves
nnd federai representallves. Tha stratepy sesslon was conducted by a professlonnl iacllltator who

sequencinp end preliminazy tlming.
Based on the dltlerances In walershed size, current land uses, proposed develnpment and the
omount of Iniormation and studles conducted to date on the Dutiins Creek, It la proposed lhat iwo
task lorcos be formod, one for the Duttins Creek end one for the Carruthers Croek. Both Task
Forces would be supporlad by a Technlcal Advisory Commiltee (TACj. A Waleiehed F�cecutfve
Commlttee wlil bo Iniliuted to provide Integralion end Inlormation shnring between tho two task
forces end the TAC.
In enqdpation ol devcloping awatershed strategy lor the Duttlns and Cerrulhers Cruek watersheds,
the TRCA lormed a Teclinical Advisory Commlllee (TAC) repreaenting a 8roup ot

ground wnter, surfaco water, terrestrlal tesoutce's, fisharles, climate change end leuid use pienning
irom municipel, regiond end coneultont viewpolnla.
TRCA thon conductod follow•up meetings with statf al each local and reglonal munlclps�lty withln
the wateraheds to lutther teview the work plen and dlscuss opportunities for funcling. It became
evident during these disc�ssions that ihere wav support for developinp a waterahed atrelegy end

During the ebove noted meetings, the valuea of developing s waterahed atrategy for the Dumna end
Carrulhers Creek watershods were•perceived as follows: �
• Il will not hold up development proposals.
•� It wili provide 1he abllity to evaluete environmentel Impacts m a watershed besis rathar lhan
