EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Study Objectives TOURISTICS and Shoreplan Engineering Limited were retained by the Town of Oakville, City of Burlington (in partnership with LaSalle Park Marina Association) and Halton Region to conduct the first of a two phased study to determine the current and anticipated demand for recreational boating facilities within Halton and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)/Golden Horseshoe Region over the period from 2013 until 2031 and the need to accommodate any future demand for additional slips. The intent of the study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of current harbour capacity within the GTA/Golden Horseshoe region and specifically within Halton Region. It was also the intent of the study to assess the changing demographic profile or the area and the impacts of these changes on the anticipated demand for recreational boating, the sources and location of this demand, trends in the type of boating and berth requirements with the aim of making recommendations on whether or not additional harbour capacity is warranted within Halton. The demand for additional slips and launch ramps in Halton will be dependent on three major factors:

• The ability of the existing marina facilities within the market area to meet the current and future demand, and the overall occupancy rate of the marinas within the seasonal market area;

• The growth in the number of power and sail boats in the seasonal market area and the changes

in their length, beam and draft; and,

• The market area for seasonal slips and launch ramps exhibiting socio-demographic characteristics that are strong determinants of power and sail boating demand.

Key Findings Boating Facilities in Halton There are four marinas, three yacht clubs, one power boat club, and four boating clubs in Halton Region. They provide recreational boating enthusiasts with opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and the use of catamarans, outrigger canoes, and stand up paddle boards. In addition, the reservoir at Kelso Conservation Area, lake at Mountsberg Conservation Area and Fairy Lake at Prospect Park all in the northern part of Halton provide areas suitable to launch and use small aluminum boats, canoes, kayaks, paddle boats and stand up paddle boards. In addition to the marinas, yacht and power boat clubs, Halton is also home to four boating clubs (Burloak Canoe Club, Burlington Sailing and Boating Club, Burlington Beach Catamaran Club, Wai Nui O Kanata Outrigger Canoe Club) catering to non-motorized boating activities. The four clubs offer opportunities for participation with canoes, outrigger canoes, kayaks, war canoes, dragon boats, dinghies, keel boats, paddle boats and stand up paddle boards. All report an increase in the number members, programs offered and participants in 2013. The programs are offered to members and non-members and both children and adults. The physical conditions of the boating infrastructure at the three existing harbour locations on Lake Ontario (Oakville Creek, Bronte Creek and LaSalle Park), are, with one exception, generally adequate with some poor conditions mostly related to dock spacing. The dock spacing tends to be less than suggested in current marina guidelines for public facilities and the docks are less stable than some currently available products for commercial facilities. Much of the docking is provided without finger docks. Most locations do not offer water and power on dock, as is commonly done. The one exception is Bronte Outer Harbour where the docks and their layout meet current guidelines and supporting infrastructure appears to be very in good condition.

It is acknowledged that the Oakville is improving harbour infrastructure on ongoing basis, particularly as it relates to shoreline improvements. Further improvements are being planned. Burlington and LaSalle Park Marina Association recently completed a class environmental assessment for major wave protection improvements at La Salle Park Marina. Boating Facilities in Halton Compared with the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area There are 41 boating facilities in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area between Scarborough in the east and St. Catharines in the west. Fourteen are marinas and the remaining 27 are yacht and sailing clubs. As shown in the Table following, although the occupancy rates and percentage of slips by length are similar, boaters at marinas and yacht clubs in Halton appear to be less well served than those in GTA/Golden Horseshoe area. As a percentage of total slips available, the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area offers twice as many transient slips as Halton and as a percentage of facilities, twice as many fuel docks. Although a higher percentage of facilities in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area offer a pump out service, the number of slips per pump out is similar (i.e. 292 versus 336 in Halton). Both areas have insufficient on-site capacity to accommodate all the seasonal boats for winter storage (i.e. 71% in Halton versus 87% in the GTA). The demand for additional slips is much higher in Halton than the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area as expressed by the number of boats on the waiting list as a percentage of occupied seasonal slips (i.e. 36% in Halton versus 16% in the GTA).

Marina Rates and Fees The rates charged at Bronte Outer Harbour Marina, Bronte Harbour, Oakville Harbour, and LaSalle Park Marina are comparable with those in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area given the product offering. Marina operators throughout the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area indicated that annual rate increases are typically held to three to four percent due to the highly competitive nature of the market place. Since there are no indications that marina operating costs will decrease in the future, it is expected that rates will continue to rise at this rate. One-time increases above three to four percent do occur when additional revenue is required for capital improvements. Rate increases at Bronte Outer Harbour Marina, Bronte and Oakville Harbours, and LaSalle Park Marina have consistently fallen within the area norms.

Projected Population of Halton 2013 to 2031 The population of Halton 25 and older is projected to increase from 359,130 in 2013 (169,690 males, 189,440 females) to 403,450 by 2018 (196,980 males, 206,470 females), to 451,130 by 2023 (219,850 males, 231,280 females), to 498,180 by 2028 (243,090 males, 255,090 females), and reach 528,100 by 2031 (258,100 males, 269,850 females). This represents a 47 percent increase in the population between 2013 and 2031. During this same time period the population of Ontario 25 and older is projected to increase by only 26 percent from 9,614,530 (4,661,300 males, 4,953,230 females) in 2013, to 12,064,180 (5,850,820 males, 6,213,360 females) in 2031. The period from 2011 to 2031 will also see a 54 percent increase in employment in Halton while that of the province will increase by 27 percent. The increased growth in the age groups with high participation rates in boating (i.e. 35 to 44 and 45 to 54) and employment in Halton indicates a likely large increase in the demand for recreational boating activities and a larger share of Ontario’s power and sail boaters. Projected Growth in Boating Activities Between 2011 and 2030 participation in power boating, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and rowing are all projected to increase. There are no comparable projections available for outrigger canoeing, paddle boating, and stand up paddle boarding, although anecdotal information based on the increased number of members at area clubs suggests that participation in these activities is also in a growth mode. Over the 20 years between 2011 and 2030 participation in power boating, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and rowing is projected to increase as follows:

Activity 2011 2020 2030 Power Boating 10.8% 13.0% 14.6% Sailing 3.6% 4.3% 4.8% Canoeing 6.8% 7.6% 8.3% Kayaking 2.4% 4.4% 5.4% Rowing 3.0% 3.1% 3.3% Projected Growth in Power and Sail Boats 2013 to 2031 Between 2013 and 2031 the number of boats in Ontario is projected to grow as follows:

Length 2013 2023 2031 Percentage Increase

6 m. to <8 m. (20 ft. to <26 ft.) 64,700 71,950 74,230 14.7% 8 m. to <9 m. (26 ft. to <30 ft.) 12,780 14,760 15,440 20.8% 9 m. to <11 m. (30 ft. to <36 ft.) 19,400 29,720 39,010 101.1% 11 m. to <14 m. (36 ft. to <46 ft.) 11,590 16,810 21,120 82.2% 14 m. and longer (46 ft. or more) 6,470 9,980 13,180 103.7% This projected increased growth in the length of boats will have a particularly strong impact on the facilities in Oakville and Bronte Harbour where there is already a shortage of longer slips and many of the fairways are sub-standard in terms of width. This shortage will be further exacerbated as there will be a need to either modify the number of slips to accommodate wider beam widths or add more slips. Conclusions Need for Seasonal Slips By comparing the number of seasonal slips available in 2013 with the number of boats requiring a slip, it is evident that demand exceeds supply and additional slips are needed. It is estimated that at the end of


x TOURISTICS + Shoreplan Engineering Limited

the boating season in 2013 there was a need for 430 additional slips. By 2018 the need for additional slips will rise to 820; by 2023 to 1,400; by 2028 to 1,860; and reach 2,160 by 2031. By comparison to existing facilities within Halton, this would mean four additional marinas at least the size of Bronte Outer Harbour Marina. The trend toward longer and wider boats will have a significant impact on the number of slips in Oakville and Bronte Harbours where the finger docks are short and the fairways narrow. It is evident that there is a current and future need for seasonal slips in the 10.67 metre (35 foot), 12.12 metre (40 foot), and 13.72 metre (45 foot) range. Need for Transient Slips According to the 2009 Great Lakes Boating Survey, 60 percent of boater’s days away from their home marina are spent within 20 nautical miles. A further 20 percent are spent within 21 and 40 nautical miles, 10 percent within 41 to 60 nautical miles, 6 percent within 61 to 80 nautical miles, and the final 4 percent beyond 80 nautical miles. During the 2013 boating season, there were 54,190 boaters at the 75 marinas, yacht and power boat clubs within 80 nautical miles of Bronte Harbour. The number of transient boaters visiting the Halton facilities is dependent on the number of boaters within the market and their distance from Halton. Of the 54,190 within 80 nautical miles of Halton, 37,880 were within 20 nautical miles and would have the greatest likelihood of visiting on one or more occasions. The least likely are those 640 boaters within 61 to 80 nautical miles. By 2018 the total number of transient boater days within the overall market area is projected to increase to 59,900; to 65,170 by 2023; to 69,930 by 2028; and reach 72,700 by 2031. There is clearly an existing and growing transient boater market that the facilities in Halton would be in a position to attract. The Oakville Harbour, Bronte Harbour and Bronte Outer Harbour Marina are in easy walking distance of the type of shops and restaurants of interest to transient boaters. The numbers provided by the marinas, yacht and power boat clubs within Halton and those within the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area and beyond confirm there is significant transient boater market to be attracted. Oakville, Burlington and Halton should increase the number of transient slips available; but should not exceed the industry average of approximately 15 percent of the total slips available. Based on the number of transient boaters attracted to the marinas, yacht and power boat clubs in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area, 200 transient slips in Halton Region (i.e. 1,344 x 0.15 = 200) could be expected to attract a minimum of 6,000 transient boaters annually. Need for Launch Ramps Boats that are trailered to launch ramps are typically less than 8 metres (less than 26 feet). Approximately 20 percent of boats 6 metres to less than 8 metres (i.e. 20 feet to less than 26 feet), and 2 percent of boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres (i.e. 26 feet to less than 30 feet) are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis. Launch ramp use is usually concentrated during a three-hour launch period (morning) and three-hour retrieval period (afternoon). Launch ramps require a large amount of parking space. Typically a one lane ramp should have at least 35 to 45 vehicle and boat trailer parking spaces. A two lane launch ramp should have between 45 and 75 spaces. While we have determined that there is a sizable number of boats in Halton that would likely use a launch ramp, there is little data available to indicate the current level of use, as the two facilities in LaSalle Park in Burlington are free of charge and are not monitored. The Bronte and Oakville launch ramps had 2,200 documented users in 2013. Additional undocumented users frequent the facilities in LaSalle Park and the facilities in Hamilton and Mississauga due to the poor condition and limited parking at the Burlington, Bronte and Oakville launch ramps. The number of boats likely to use a launch ramp in Halton is projected to increase from 14,300 in 2013; to 15,440 by 2018; to 16,470 by 2023; to 17,370 by 2028; and reach 17,890 by 2031. Ideally, based on the existing data, one additional launch ramp will be required by 2018, two additional launch ramps (for a total of 6) will be required by 2023, and three more by 2031 for a


xi TOURISTICS + Shoreplan Engineering Limited

total of seven. However, until more detailed user data is available for the existing launch ramps we recommend that the municipalities concentrate on improving the existing facilities rather than adding additional ones. It should be noted that the Ministry of Natural Resources considers there is a world class fishery off Bronte/Oakville Harbours, especially for salmon fishing. There are currently eight fishing charter boat operators in Oakville and Bronte, and the Ministry feels that the fishery could support at least 12 fishing charter boats. In addition, the 34,100 licensed anglers in Halton spend hundreds of dollars each annually within the Region on fishing and boating equipment.

Average Annual Expenditure per Active Licensed Angler

Boating Equipment $342.54 Fishing Equipment $77.21 Recommendations Monitoring Current Demand Situation In order to provide boating facilities in a timely fashion it will be necessary to monitor the level of demand in an ongoing manner. For marinas this means maintaining a permanent waiting list which indicates the length, width and beam of the boat requiring a slip or mooring. For boating clubs (i.e. canoeing, kayaking, rowing, etc.) it means documenting the number of persons turned away from program offerings or membership categories. When an individual marina has reached capacity (i.e. 95% occupancy or more) and the marina manager has a documented waiting list approaching one-half the number of seasonal slips, a new or expanded facility is warranted. Given that the environmental, planning and construction steps involved in bringing a new marina to fruition will likely take a minimum of four years (i.e. planning, environmental assessment process and design; approvals by various government agencies; and construction); the waiting list likely will have reached a point where when combined with industry average trade-ups, the new facility will be assured of success as there will be no shortage of demand for slips. Meeting Future Seasonal Slip and Boater Demand The study clearly indicates that there is a demand for boating facilities much beyond the capacity of the existing facilities. It is also clear that the existing facilities and the three main existing locations cannot meet this demand by gradual expansion. The two river locations at Oakville and Bronte cannot expand further within the existing channel to any degree while respecting environmental objectives. The one location on the open lake in Bronte (i.e. Bronte Outer Harbour Marina) is bound by fixed breakwaters and cannot expand within the footprint of the breakwaters. The La Salle Park Marina is proposing provision of fixed breakwaters which then could accommodate some future expansion. No decision has been made on this location as of the writing of this report. As the identified demand for slips is beyond the capacity of the existing sites in the Region, new locations will need to be considered on a go forward basis. Selection of any new site will be a complex process that will be subject to an individual environmental assessment process and a thorough review by all levels of government and conservation authorities, as well as the general public. The projections suggest that if the demand were to be met with the typical size marina found on the Great Lakes, it would require the construction of four facilities at least as large as Bronte Outer Harbour Marina along the Halton waterfront by 2031. Clearly, this is a task that will call for extensive public consultations, creativity, and out of box thinking. In addition, the Burloak Canoe Club requires an additional 70 to 75 feet of shoreline dockage for a total of 100 feet to meet current demand, let alone future demand.

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background TOURISTICS and Shoreplan Engineering Limited were retained by the Town of Oakville (Oakville), City of Burlington (Burlington) [in partnership with LaSalle Park Marina Association] and the Region of Halton (Halton) to conduct the first of a two phased study to determine the current and anticipated demand for recreational boating facilities within Halton and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)/Golden Horseshoe Region over the period from 2013 until 2031 and the need to accommodate any future demand for additional slips. The intent of the study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of current harbour capacity within the GTA/Golden Horseshoe region and specifically within Halton. It was also the intent of the study to assess the changing demographic profile of the area and the impacts of these changes on the anticipated demand for recreational boating, the sources and location of this demand, trends in the type of boating and berth requirements with the aim of making recommendations on whether or not additional harbour capacity is warranted within Halton. This information will be used by Oakville, Burlington and Halton (the Partners) for park and harbour master planning initiatives, business planning, and in other strategy documents. It will help the Partners understand more clearly what the future demand and supply requirements are in terms of marina facilities to meet the recreational boating demand of Halton. Many areas of Halton are identified as “Urban Growth Centres” by the Province of Ontario and there is a belief that the current harbour capacity will not keep pace with the forecasted population growth in the area and demand for such facilities. As both Burlington and Oakville are lakefront communities, and Halton has invested significant funding into a Regional Waterfront Parks program, boating/sailing is considered synonymous with Halton. Fiscally viable and sustainable harbours and recreational boating, along with a vibrant waterfront within Halton is important from a quality of life perspective and aligns with the community values of many residents. 1.1 Study Approach In order to complete a detailed assessment of the current and future need for recreational boating facilities in Halton, the following steps were undertaken:

• Conducted a site visit to each of the boating facilities (i.e. marinas, yacht and boat clubs within Halton) to assess the current product offering.

• Contacted a representative of each of the facilities to obtain information on the number and size

of slips, facilities and services offered, fees charged and user patterns.

• Conducted a site visit to each of the marinas, yacht and boats clubs from the Scarborough Bluffs Sailing Club in the east to St. Catharines Marina in the west.

• Conducted in person or telephone interviews with the owner/operators/commodores of each of

the facilities within the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area to obtain information on the number and size of slips, facilities and services offered, fees charged and user patterns.

• Conducted telephone interviews with power and sail boat builders/manufacturers in Canada and

the United States to obtain data on the current and future length, beam, and draft of boats sold and registered in Ontario, New York, and Michigan, and any forecasts for growth in boating.

• Contacted Transport Canada for information regarding the number of licensed pleasure craft in

Ontario and the rest of Canada.



• Contacted the National Marine Manufacturers Association regarding the number of recreational boats in Canada and the United States.

• Contacted each of the municipalities and conservation authorities within the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area regarding planned or rumoured new marina facilities.

• Met with the Association of Oakville Harbours’ Stakeholders regarding local boater input and their

2012 Rates and Fees Study. Throughout the study process the consultants met with representatives from the Town of Oakville Parks and Open Space, City of Burlington Parks and Recreation Department (along with LaSalle Park Marina Association representation) and Region of Halton, Planning Services. Special thanks is extended to the of Commodores of each of the Yacht and Boat Clubs in Oakville and Burlington and the Marina Managers/Presidents in Oakville, Bronte and Burlington for their unending provision of data and information for this study. 1.3 Report Format The report is divided into six sections or chapters. Section 2 describes and maps the existing boating facilities within Halton. Section 3 provides a profile of power and sail boaters in Ontario and population and boating activity projections for the period between 2013 and 2031. The historical and projected number, length, beam, and draft of boats in Halton’s seasonal and transient market are detailed in Section 4. The level of demand for seasonal and transient slips and launch ramps is described in Section 5. Section 6 provides an indication of the steps necessary to ensure that future recreational boating needs are met to the extent possible; the approach required to meet the future demand; and the result of a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis. Figures and tables are inserted in the text of the report as close to the first reference as practical. Detailed EXHIBITS are included in the appendix in the order in which they are referred.



SECTION 2 – EXISTING RECREATIONAL BOATING FACILITIES IN HALTON REGION 2.0 Boating Facilities There are four marinas, three yacht clubs, one power boat club, and four boating clubs (providing opportunities for canoe, kayak, sailing, catamaran, outrigger canoe, and stand up paddle boards). In addition, the 25 hectare reservoir at Kelso Conservation Area (Milton), 202 hectare lake at Mountsberg Conservation Area (Milton) and 26 hectare Fairy Lake at Prospect Park (Acton-Halton Hills) all in the northern part of Halton provide launch ramps and the opportunity to use small aluminum boats, canoes, kayaks, paddle boats and stand up paddle boards. Each of these facilities is listed in Table 1 below and shown in Figures 1 to 4 following. Table 1 - Boating Facilities in Halton

2.1 Amenities and Services The four marinas, three yacht clubs and one power boat club have 1,344 slips and moorings, of which 137 are mediterranean bow in moorings1 (i.e. Oakville Club 43, Oakville Yacht Squadron 76, Bronte Harbour Yacht Club 18). Of the 1,344 slips available in Halton only 34 are transient and none of these

Figure 3 - Bronte Harbour



Figure 4 - Halton Region Facilities



are at the Oakville or Bronte Harbour Marinas. All but 10 are available at the Bronte Outer Harbour Marina. 446 of the slips are less than 30 feet; 592, 30 feet to less than 36 feet; 271, 36 feet to less than 46 feet; and 35, 46 feet and over (EXHIBIT 1A). Only Bronte Outer Harbour Marina and Bronte Harbour have permanent lift facilities; cranes are brought in in the spring and fall for the launch and haulout at the other six facilities. Bronte Harbour offers repairs through a marine shop operated by an independent owner. The facility is leased from the Town of Oakville. Only two of the eight facilities provide a fuel dock (i.e. Oakville Power Boat Club, Bronte Outer Harbour Marina) and only the fuel dock at Bronte Outer Harbour Marina is available to both power and sail boats as only boats that clear the bridges’ (32 foot clearance) can make it to the Oakville Power Boat’s fuel dock. There are four launch ramps; one in Oakville Harbour, one in Bronte Harbour, and two at the LaSalle Park Marina in Burlington. The five launch ramps at Kelso and Mountsberg Conservation Areas, Fairy Lake, and Coronation Park are only suitable for canoes, kayaks and small boats as there are either physical or other operational restrictions on the use of motorized boats at these locations (Figure 4). There is potential for a launch ramp at Burloak Waterfront Park suitable for canoes, kayaks and small boats. A master plan review of the park is currently underway. Oakville Power Boat Club, Bronte Outer Harbour Marina, Oakville Harbour Marina, and LaSalle Park Marina (shared with BSBC) offer the only pump out services in Halton. Just over half of the slips (i.e. 687) have access to 30 or more amp. power pedestals. Only 71 percent or 928 of the 1,310 seasonal boats at the eight facilities can be accommodated on-site for winter storage. Another 40 could be accommodated within Oakville Harbours Marina if the abandoned boats were removed (EXHIBIT 1B). 2.2 Seasonal and Transient Slip Users During the 2013 boating season 96.8 percent of the 1,310 seasonal slips were occupied. Anything over 95 percent is considered full occupancy by industry standards. Some slips were not occupied in 2013 due to spring storm damage to the marina infrastructure at LaSalle Park Marina and wet moorings required for the pilot dredging project in Bronte Harbour. As shown in Figure 5 below, 84.8 percent (1,075) of the seasonal slips at the eight facilities were occupied by residents of Halton, 57.7 percent (732) by residents of Oakville, 22.7 percent (288) by residents of Burlington, and 4.4 percent (55) by residents in the rest of Halton. Sixty percent or 767 of the 1,268 seasonal boats in 2013 were sail boats and 501 power boats (EXHIBIT 1C). There were 470 boats on the waiting lists of the eight facilities with 73 percent looking for a slip 36 feet or more in length. This represents 37.1 percent of the occupied slips in 2013 Despite the low number of transient slips available within Halton, 1,287 boaters visited the area facilities in 2013, staying for an average of 1.5 days. This number of transient visits is primarily due to the reciprocal arrangements at the yacht clubs where visiting boats can use member slips when they are vacant. If transient slips were available within Oakville Harbour and Bronte Harbour we believe this number would be substantially higher. _____ 1 In a Mediterranean mooring, the bow (front) of the boat is tied to a fixed structure (in the case of the harbours, a dock) while the stern (back) is tied off to two floating devices, customarily tires that are themselves anchored to the bottom of the harbour and that are usually deployed only during the boating season. The boat approaches the shoreline at a perpendicular angle, runs two lines to the shore (dock) and another two to the floating moorings. The advantage of Mediterranean mooring is that many more boats can be accommodated along a fixed length of shoreline as there are no finger docks separating the boats. The disadvantage is that embarking and disembarking the boat must be made from the bow of the boat which is not as easy as, and is less stable than using a finger dock alongside.

2.3 Assessment of Infrastructural Features at Boating Facilities The conditions of the existing facilities were reviewed at the three main boating locations within the Region. These locations include LaSalle Park in Burlington, Bronte Harbour and Oakville Harbour. The review was limited to a visual assessment of the facilities and observations of their function and boater use (EXHIBIT 1D and 1E). No surveys, measurements or testing of the structures were undertaken. The review did not include buildings or club houses. Comments with respect to adequacy of fairways are based on a review of aerial photography. A fairway twice the length of a boat using the adjacent dock is considered good and a fairway width of one and one-half of the length of the boat is considered adequate. Water depth requirements depend on boat mix but generally water depths of 1.8 metres are considered adequate for public marinas. Chart datum is taken as reference water level. Comments with respect to stability of docks are based on experiences during site visits and comments received from boaters and may be considered somewhat subjective. Comments regarding launch ramp parking follow published recommendations that suggest 40 car/trailer combination parking spaces are required per launch lane. However, it is recognized that demand for parking varies from location to location and by time of day. Plans of the facilities are provided on the previously noted Figures 1 to 3. The reader should refer to these figures while reading the description in this sub-section of the report. 2.3.1 La Salle Park LaSalle Park provides the base of LaSalle Park Marina and the Burlington Sailing and Boating Club. The facilities are located on or adjacent to the LaSalle Park Pier. The La Salle Park Marina facilities are located on the east side of the pier and include floating docks and a floating breakwater. The docks and the breakwater are removed every fall and reinstated in the spring. The docks and their use are being hampered by excessive wave activity due to a functionally inadequate floating breakwater. Damage to the docks and boats is frequent. The operation of the marina and specifically the provision of proper wave protection for the marina was the subject of a recently completed Class Environmental Assessment (Dillon Consulting Limited, 2013). The Environmental Study Report concludes that a fixed breakwater is the preferred method of resolving the ongoing wave related

problems. Any comments with respect to the docks are not material until the basin is properly protected. The spacing of the docks and fairway widths are appropriate for the size of the slips. Water depth is greater than required in most of the basin. Approximately 20 percent of the dock area in the north part of the basin has a water depth of less than 1.8 metres at Chart Datum. Boats with shallow draft are assigned to this part of the basin. The park also includes two launch ramps, one located on the east side of the pier and another located on the west side of the pier. The east ramp is used by the public to launch small to moderate size boats transported on trailers behind cars and trucks. The ramp surface accommodates two launching lanes. The slope of the ramp appears to be within an acceptable slope gradient and deep enough to accommodate launching under a typical range of water levels. Fixed piers and extended floating docks are provided on both sides of the ramp. Segregated parking for the launch ramp is not provided. The west ramp is located directly in front (south) of the Burlington Sailing and Boating Club (BSBC). Although not dedicated for exclusive use of the club, it is not readily accessible from the public parking lot. It is a single lane structure. The launch ramp had a number of problems including rough surfaces and inadequate depth in the past and is presently under re-construction. It is re-designed to operate under the full range of water levels experienced during a typical boating season. The launch ramp is flanked with floating docks installed by BSBC in the spring and removed in the fall. 2.3.2 Bronte Harbour The Bronte Harbour area includes two distinct boating facilities. The Bronte Outer Harbour Marina is located east of the mouth of the Bronte Creek and is a privately operated facility under a long term lease from the Region. The boating facilities within the mouth of the creek include the municipal facilities operating as Oakville Harbour Marina and the Bronte Harbour Yacht Club. The Bronte Outer Harbour Marina is the most recently constructed boating facility on the Halton waterfront. The facility has floating docks. They appear to be stable and well secured. Access to the docks is controlled with security gates. The shore treatments are in good condition. There appears to be no physical deficiencies in these facilities. Reports of excessive wave penetration into the basin under southwest wind conditions were provided by boaters. The docking facilities along the river within the Oakville Harbour Marina are generally arranged directly off the shore walls of the creek with three additional main docks extending into the creek beyond the shore connected docks. Two of the three additional main docks have fingers attached. The third main dock supports boats docked bow-in with stern float anchors. The stability of the main docks and main docks with fingers is considered to be adequate. The stability of the finger docks attached directly to the shore walls is considered poor. The width of fairways varies in various parts of the harbour from adequate to inadequate. There are parts of the harbour where fairways are just equal to the length of boats docked in the area. The seawalls are constructed of various materials but most commonly of concrete blocks or steel sheet piles. The concrete block walls appear to be functional. The walls do not show excessive settlement or lean. The backshore, which is mostly made up of interlocking pavement surfaces or boardwalk also does not show an excessive amount of settlement or movement. This is considered important given that the soils around the harbour are very soft sediments with organic content. There are two launch ramps within the river channel. A public launch ramp is located on the south side of the river and specific car/trailer parking is provided adjacent to the ramp. The launch ramp has two lanes. There are nine parking spots provided which is considered substandard for the launch ramp. Public parking related to the park is available and is configured in such a way that it can be used as overflow for the launch ramp. The ramp surface appears relatively steep but not excessively so. We observed no docks available to assist in launching. A second set of launch ramps are available in the Bronte Harbour Yacht Club compound. These are single lane launch ramps and are separated by a mast crane slip. These launch ramps appear to be available for the use of the club members only.



The water depth within the mooring area of the river varies. Oakville undertakes regular dredging operations and dredges the river to 2 m below Chart Datum regularly. The interval between dredging operations is approximately seven years, but may vary. The water depth in the mooring areas will gradually decrease after dredging and the operations will become hindered by reduced water depth over time. Oakville experimented with ongoing dredging operations using a small suction dredge and filtering the dredged material through geotextile bags. The results of the experimental operation are not known at this time. Oakville is also undertaking a sediment management study at Bronte Harbour at present time to better understand the sources of sediment and deposition process in the harbour. 2.3.3 Oakville Harbour Six marinas and boat clubs operate within the river mouth of Sixteen Mile Creek. These include Oakville Harbour Marina – Oakville Harbour, Oakville Yacht Squadron, Oakville Club, Wai Nui O Kanaka Outrigger Canoe Club, Oakville Power Boat Club and the Burloak Canoe Club. Given the multiple operations, the descriptions are provided on club/marina basis. The entrance to Oakville Harbour is formed with two breakwaters. The west breakwater is a steel sheet pile pier with a concrete cap. At the north end of the west breakwater is a short armour stone groyne which extends approximately 30 m into the entrance channel. The armour stone groyne breaks waves that propagate up the entrance channel. The east breakwater is formed by a SSP pier with a concrete cap. Repairs to the east breakwater were carried out in 2012. The Town of Oakville Water Air Rescue Force (TOWARF) is at the north end of the east breakwater. The shore along TOWARF is protected with rip rap and armour stone. Two slips used by TOWARF are located along this section of the shore. The TOWARF facility was not included in the review. The water depth within the mooring areas of Sixteen Mile Creek varies. Oakville regularly dredges the creek to 2 m below Chart Datum. The interval between dredging operations is typically ten years, but may vary. The water depth in the mooring areas will gradually decrease after dredging and the operations will become hindered by reduced water depth over time. Oakville last dredged Sixteen Mile Creek in the fall/winter of 2010. 2.3.4 Oakville Harbour Marina - Oakville Harbour Oakville Harbour Marina operations within Sixteen Mile Creek include three locations. There are operations within the Oyster Bay area near the mouth of the creek, operations within the central part of the harbour south of the Lakeshore Bridge to Randall Street bridge and docking facilities in the uppermost part of the harbour. Each of these locations is described separately. Oyster Bay is the embayment along the west side of the river north of Tannery Park and south of Oakville Yacht Squadron (OYS). Oyster Bay’s shore is protected with a pre-cast concrete block wall and armour stone wall. Oakville is now reconstructing the shoreline protection within Oyster Bay. The pre-cast concrete block wall is being replaced with a boulder berm and armour stone wall. The Oakville Harbour Marina docks within Oyster Bay are floating docks configured in a standard main dock/finger dock arrangement. They extend north from the south shore. The docks are adequate with respect to their width and stability. The width of the fairways within this area varies depending on the position along the dock. They are adequate on the river channel side in some areas and inadequate or substandard in most other areas. Fairways just marginally greater than the length of the boats were noted. The central part of the Oakville Harbour Marina operations includes both sides of the river south of the Randall Street bridge to OYS (Shipyard Park) on the west side and to Oakville Club on the east side. It also includes a launch ramp at the south end of Shipyard Park. The launch ramp is in poor condition and Oakville is in the process of redesigning the ramp as part of their Oakville Harbour West Master Plan redevelopment.



The west shore north of the launch ramp is protected with a concrete block wall constructed in the 1990’s. The block wall extends along the shore of Shipyard Park and ends at the north side of Shipyard Lagoon. The wall appears to be in good condition. The shore north of Shipyard Lagoon is protected with an anchored SSP wall that was constructed in 2011. The north portion of the SSP wall under the bridge is protected with an armour stone wall constructed in 2011. North of the armour stone wall, the west shore is natural with no formal structures. Boats along the west shore mostly tie off bow-in along the shore with stern floating anchors. This same arrangement is used within the Shipyard Lagoon. The only exception to this is the shore under and within approximately 25 meters of the Lakeshore Road bridge. Here the docking is provided along a shore parallel floating dock tied off to shore anchor piles. Large boats dock parallel to the dock. The fairways within this part of the river are adequate except at the mouth of the Shipyard Lagoon. The east side of the river, north of the Oakville Club to the south side of the launch ramp near the Randall Street Bridge, is protected with a pre-cast concrete block wall similar in construction to the wall in Shipyard Park. The wall appears to be in good condition. Floating finger docks are secured to the wall and boats tie off to the finger docks. Boats dock either bow or stern-in. The stability of the finger docks is judged to be marginal. North of the Burloak Canoe Club, along the upper reach of the harbour, boats dock along both sides of a shore parallel floating dock. The larger boats dock along the creek side. One shore connection is centrally located along the dock. A set of stairs leads from the shore wall to the northeast corner of the public parking lot off Water Street. The stairs are gated. The dock appears adequate for its width and stability. The fairways are adequate. 2.3.5 Oakville Yacht Squadron The Oakville Yacht Squadron (OYS) is located north of Oyster Bay. The shoreline is protected with a pre-cast concrete block wall and steel sheet pile (SSP) walls. The pre-cast concrete block wall extends along short sections of the north shore of Oyster Bay. The concrete wall appears to be in good condition. The steel sheet pile wall that runs along the south side of the OYS building is poor condition. A mast crane is located near the east end of the wall. The steel sheet pile wall along the east of the OYS site was reconstructed in 2011. It is in good shape and supports a public boardwalk located along the east side of the OYS site. The new wall ends at the public launch ramp at the south end of Shipyard Park. There are two main docks that extend south from the OYS site into Oyster Bay. The boats docks bow-in with stern anchors in a very tight configuration. There are no finger docks. The main docks are stable and width is considered adequate but the use is hindered by the bow of some boats extending over the dock. Boats also dock bow-in along the new wall on the east side of the site. Stern anchors are used to tie-off the boats from the wall. 2.3.6 The Oakville Club The shore along The Oakville Club (OC) from the tennis court to the north side of the building is protected with a SSP wall. The wall is covered with a timber deck. Steel rings are attached either to the cap of the SSP wall or to the timber deck. Boats tie off to the steel rings secured to the SSP wall and deck. Short finger docks supported off the deck provide access to the boats. The wall is rusted and sections of the wall are leaning toward the lake. The shore north of the OC building is protected with a gabion basket wall. The gabion basket wall is covered by a timber deck. Short finger docks supported from the timber deck and gabion baskets provide access to the boats moored along the shore. All boats are docked bow into the shore with stern floating anchors. The fairway, or the open channel of the river, is of appropriate width.



2.3.7 Wai Nui O Kanaka Outrigger Canoe Club A steel sheet pile wall extends along the south and north sides of the launch ramp adjacent to the Randall Street bridge, under the bridge and a short distance into the Power Boat Club basin. The wall is heavily rusted at the water line. The Wai Nui O Kanaka Outrigger Canoe Club uses this area and the launch ramp. There appears to be no docks used by the club. The launch ramp surface accommodates one launching lane. The slope of the ramp appears to be within an acceptable slope gradient and deep enough to accommodate launching of the Canoe Club boats. 2.3.8 Oakville Power Boat Club There are two distinct parts to the Oakville Power Boat Club facilities. A basin is located directly north of the Randall Street bridge and additional docking is provided along the east side of the river. Descriptions are provided below for these two parts. The shore along the south side of the Power Boat Club basin is protected with a rip rap revetment. The east and north shore of the basin is protected with a stone filled timber crib. The timbers are round and the stone fill is visible in the gaps. A timber deck extends along the top of the crib. The deck is uneven. Vertical steel piles are intermittently driven in front of the crib. They may be used to support the deck. Some of the vertical piles are leaning into the basin. Overall, these structures are in very poor condition and their stability is uncertain. Finger docks supported on steel tube piles are located along the east and west sides of the basin. A floating main dock with fingers extends south from the north shore of the basin. Boats dock along shore-parallel floating docks on the south shore. The stability of the main and finger docks is unknown. The fairway width in the basin varies from inadequate to adequate. The north side of the entrance to the basin and the east shore of the creek north of the entrance are protected with gabion baskets. The baskets are broken and they have lost their stone fill. A timber deck supported on steel tube piles covers the gabion baskets along this shoreline. The portions of the structure reviewed are considered to be in poor condition. Finger docks supported on steel tube piles and channels extend from the deck into the creek. The docks are narrow but appear to be stable. The docks are constructed using various types and sizes of materials and do not appear to be designed to a uniform appearance and standard. Fuel can be purchased at the Power Boat Club. The fuel dock is supported on steel tube piles. A gas pump and a store are located on shore. Boats can moor along either side of the fuel dock. The dock appears narrow and stable. 2.3.9 Burloak Canoe Club The Burloak Canoe Club is located north of the Power Boat Club. A shore parallel dock, supported on steel tube piles, extends north along the east shore of the creek. Boats are moored along the dock and the dock appears stable. The fairway, or open channel of the river, is adequate. 2.4 Other Boating Facilities in Halton In addition to the marinas and yacht clubs, Halton is also home to four boating clubs (Burloak Canoe Club, Burlington Sailing and Boating Club, Burlington Beach Catamaran Club, Wai Nui O Kanata Outrigger Canoe Club) catering to non-motorized boating activities. The four clubs offer opportunities for participation with canoes, outrigger canoes, kayaks, war canoes, dragon boats, dinghies, keel boats, paddle boats and stand up paddle boards (EXHIBIT 2). All of these boating facilities report an increase in the number of programs offered and participants in these programs in 2013. The programs are offered to both children and adults. The Burlington Sailing and Boating Club and Wai Nui O Kanata Outrigger Canoe Club also offer programs for the disabled. The Oakville Club, Oakville Yacht Squadron and Bronte



Harbour Yacht Club offer junior and adult sailing schools for their members, and indicate that the numbers of participants in their sailing programs are also growing. The Oakville Yacht Squadron and Bronte Harbour Yacht Club also offer sailing lessons to the general public. The Bronte Harbour Yacht Club also offers a one week blind sailing program each summer. Kelso Conservation Area, Mountsberg Conservation Area and Fairy Lake in the northern part of Halton and Burloak Waterfront Park offer an opportunity for use of canoes, kayaks, paddle boats, stand up paddle boards, and small aluminum boats. Motorized boats are prohibited at Kelso, but boats with electric trolling motors are permitted at Mountsberg and Fairy Lake. There are no restrictions on motorized boats at Burloak Waterfront Park but physical barriers exist that limit access to the lakeshore. Mountsberg Reservoir caters mostly to fishermen than to the other forms of boating and sees as many as 200 boats involved in fishing on a good day. As a result of the tree stumps and occasional low water levels, stand up paddle boards are not encouraged at Mountsberg. Fairy Lake is also used more by fishermen than other forms of boating. The Town of Halton Hills does not monitor the level of use on the Lake; as a result there are no data available regarding the different activity uses. Kelso offers boat rentals from late April to early October for single and double kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, and stand up paddle boards (EXHIBIT 3). 2.5 Comparison of Halton’s Boating Facilities with those of the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area 2.5.1 Boating Facilities There are 41 boating facilities in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area between Scarborough in the east and St. Catharines in the west. Of these 14 are marinas and the remaining 27 are yacht, sailing and cruising clubs. 2.5.2 Amenities and Services The 41 boating facilities offer 9,339 slips or moorings of which 8,833 are seasonal and 506 dedicated as transient or reciprocal slips or moorings. 1,830 of the slips are less than 30 feet; 4,361, 30 feet to less than 36 feet; 2,077, 36 feet to less than 46 feet; and 800, 46 feet and over (EXHIBIT 4A). Twenty two of the facilities provide a fuel dock. Thirty two have a pump out. There are 29 launch ramps available for use by boats typically 26 feet or less in length (i.e. 7.9 metres). Almost 80 percent (78.6%) of the slips (i.e. 7,130) have access to 30 or more amp. power. More than 85 percent (87.4%) of the 8,709 seasonal boats can be accommodated on-site for winter storage (EXHIBIT 4B). 2.5.3 Seasonal and Transient Slip Users During the 2013 boating season 98.6 percent of the 8,833 seasonal slips were occupied. The remaining slips were not occupied due to long-term maintenance repairs and unsuitable lengths for the boats requiring a slip. Seasonal boats were almost evenly split between power (50.9%) and sail (49.1%). There were 1,450 boats on the waiting lists of the 41 facilities with 22 percent looking for a slip 46 feet or more in length (EXHIBIT 4C). This represents an additional 16.4 percent of needed supply. 2.5.4 Facilities in Halton Compared with the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area As shown in Table 2 following, although the occupancy rates and percentage of slips by length are similar, boaters at marinas and yacht clubs in Halton appear to be less well served than those in GTA/Golden Horseshoe area. As a percentage of total slips available, the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area offers twice as many transient slips as Halton and as a percentage of facilities, twice as many fuel docks. Although a higher percentage of facilities in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area offer a pump out service, the number of slips per pump out is similar (i.e. 292 versus 336 in Halton). Both areas have insufficient



on-site capacity to accommodate all the seasonal boats for winter storage (i.e. 70.8% in Halton versus 87.4% in the GTA). The demand for additional slips is much higher in Halton than the GTA as expressed by the number of boats on the waiting list as a percentage of occupied seasonal slips (i.e. 37.1% in Halton versus 16.9% in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe area).

These services include:

• Slip with at least 30 amp power and water;

• Summer land storage; • Cradle/trailer storage; • Mast stepping/un-stepping; • Pump out service;

• Transient slip; • Launch ramp; • Haul-out or launch; and, • Winter storage.

Outer Harbour Marina in Toronto has the highest seasonal slip rental at $94.45 per linear foot, followed by Fifty Point Marina in Winona at $92.60 and LaSalle Park Marina the least expensive at $66.00 per linear foot. The rates charged at Bronte Outer Harbour Marina, Bronte Harbour, Oakville Harbour, and LaSalle Park Marina are comparable with those in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area given the product offering. Outside of Halton only Lakefront Promenade at $66.37 per foot and Port Credit Harbour Marina at $68.33 per foot are lower than Bronte Outer Harbour Marina at $73.00 per linear foot. The fees for summer land storage, cradle/trailer storage, mast stepping/un-stepping, pump out services, transient slip rentals, use of the launch ramp, and haul-out or launch are similar at all fifteen marinas and harbours.



We compared the cost of winter storage based on a per square foot package cost for a 30 foot boat with a beam of 10 feet.1 While winter storage at Bronte Outer Harbour at $5.35 per square foot is only exceeded by the $5.60 per square foot charged at Outer Harbour Marina in Toronto the rates charged at Bronte and Oakville Harbours and by the Burlington Sailing & Boating Club at LaSalle Park are in keeping with those at other facilities outside Halton (EXHIBIT 5 and 6). In fact, the winter storage rate charged by the Burlington Sailing & Boating Club is the lowest at $2.28 per square foot or approximately one-half of that charged at Bronte Harbour (i.e. $4.01/sq. ft.) and St. Catharines Marina (i.e. $4.00/sq. ft.) the next lowest two. As a further analysis of the rates charged within Halton and the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area we undertook to compare them based on 17 facilities and services considered by boaters to be the most desirable features in a marina (EXHIBIT 7).2 Each of the 15 marinas was evaluated based on features and values. Where a marina had a feature or service, but it was considered in need of improvement a lesser value was assigned (i.e. 4 rather than 5 for docks, 2 rather than 3 for a launch ramp) (EXHIBIT 8). Based on this assessment Harbour West Marina in Hamilton was the only marina receiving a maximum 62 point facility rating. Bronte Outer Harbour Marina received a score of 56, Bronte Harbour 44, LaSalle Park Marina 43, and Oakville Harbour 40, (Table 3). Improvements are planned Bronte Harbour, LaSalle Park Marina, and Oakville Harbour which will improve these scores. 2.5.6 Annual Rate Increases Our interviews with marina operators throughout the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area indicated that annual rate increases are typically held to three to four percent due to the highly competitive nature of the market place and the fear of losing boaters if rates are increased too much in one season. Since there are no indications that marina operating costs will decrease in the future, it is expected that rates will continue to rise at this rate. One-time increases above three to four percent do occur when additional revenue is required for capital improvements. Rate increases at Bronte Outer Harbour Marina, Bronte and Oakville Harbours, and LaSalle Park Marina have consistently fallen within the area norms. LaSalle Park Marina uses the Bank Of Canada Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a minimum in setting their annual rates. When above normal increases in rates are necessary, it is good business practice to inform the long-term boaters as to the reason for this need (i.e. unusually high dredging costs, winter storm damage, major infrastructure improvements, etc.). It also has to be realized that operating marinas is a business and businesses at worst are expected to break-even but more realistically are expected to be revenue-positive. An annual capital reserve for replacement of 10 to 12 percent of gross revenue when possible is generally sufficient to cover major capital improvements within the 20 to 25 year life cycle of the marinas’ major infrastructure features and should be included in all marina and harbour budgets.. _____ 1 Winter storage package includes (haul-out, bottom wash, storage, launch) 2 50 boat owners were interviewed at the Toronto International Boat Show between January 12 and 18, 2014 regarding the features they felt were most desirable at a home marina. They were then asked to rate each feature on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most desirable. The rating values are virtual the same as those used in the Association of Oakville Harbours’ Stakeholders 2012 Rates and Fees Study

SECTION 3 – PROFILE OF BOATERS AND POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS 3.0 Introduction This section provides a socio-demographic profile of boaters in Ontario; an indication of how these socio-demographic characteristics compare with those of Halton’s residents; projections of Halton’s population between 2013 and 2031; and projected participation rates for a number of the existing boating activities in Halton. 3.1 Socio-demographic Profile of Sail and Power Boaters In 2011, 14.5 percent of Ontario’s population 16 or over participated in boating.1 The participation rate by males (i.e. 15.8%) is only slightly higher than that for females (i.e. 13.3%). For both males and females the highest participation rate is in the 35 to 44 and 45 to 54 age group (i.e. 22.9% and 19.0% respectively for males and 18.9% and 16.3% respectively for females) (Figure 6). Power and sail boaters are represented in all levels of attained education, although those with some university education and those with a university degree are the highest at 21.2 percent and 25.5 percent respectively. While boating also appeals to all employment categories, those employed in professional, administrative and managerial, and skilled labour positions have the highest participation rates at 28.8 percent and 24.6 percent respectively. The largest number of boaters come from households earning $40,000 to $74,999, although the highest participation rate is within those from households earning $100,000 or more. 3.2 Socio-demographic Characteristics of Burlington, Oakville and Halton Residents There are 493,045 persons living in Halton, including 174,780 residing in Oakville, and 173,761 in Burlington according to the Best Planning Estimates, June 2011. It is evident when looking at the socio-demographic characteristics that have the highest propensity to participate in boating (e.g. education, occupation, household income) that Halton, Oakville and Burlington are a strong market for power and sail boating participation. Among males 35 to 44, the age group with the highest participation in boating (i.e. 22.9%), Halton and Oakville are slightly under-represented when compared to the province (i.e. 15.6% and 15.0% respectively, compared to 15.8% for Ontario. The second highest participation rate among males falls in the 45 to 54 year age category (i.e. 19.0%); in this case all three areas are over-represented when compared to the province (i.e. 16.3%, 17.5%, 16.0% and 15.3% respectively) (EXHIBIT 9 and Figure 6). A similar pattern occurs with the proportion of females compared to the province. The proportion of the female population within Halton (i.e. 16.0%), and Oakville (i.e. 16.2%), is over-represented compared to the province (i.e. 15.7%) in the 35 to 44 age group which has the highest participation rate in boating (i.e. 18.9%). Females in the 45 to 54 age group, the category with the second highest participation rate in boating (i.e. 16.3%) are over-represented in all three areas when compared to the province with Oakville being the most over-represented (i.e. 17.3% vs. 15.3%). Burlington is the least over-represented at 15.8% followed by Halton Region at 15.9%. In our meeting with the Association of Oakville Harbours’ Stakeholders the Commodores noted that the majority of their members fell in the 45 to 54 age group. The higher the level of education attained, the higher the level of participation in boating as shown by a 21.2 percent participation rate for those with some university education and 25.5 percent for those with a degree. All three areas are all well over-represented compared to that of the province among those with a university degree (i.e. Halton 26.3%; Oakville 32.6%; and Burlington 23.7%) compared to 20.5% for the province. Those with some university education are also over-represented in all three geographic market areas when compared to the percentage of all those in Ontario (i.e. 4.7%, 5.6%, 4.5% compared to 4.1% respectively). _____ 1 Statistics Canada, General Social Survey and Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport

Occupation is a socio-demographic characteristic that is also a strong determinant of participation in boating. Within Halton, Oakville and Burlington there are proportionally more individuals in professional/managerial/administrative occupations (i.e. 53.1%, 57.1%, and 41.9% respectively compared to the province’s 45.7%), the occupation category with the highest participation level in boating (i.e. 28.8%). On the other hand, skilled labour persons who have the second highest participation rate in boating (i.e. 24.6%) are under-represented in all three geographic areas (i.e. 18.1% in Halton, 16.1% in Oakville, and 17.7% in Burlington) compared to 21.1 percent in Ontario. Despite being under-represented in skilled labour there are still approximately 51,400 individuals in Halton employed in this category, 16,000 in Oakville, and 17,600 in Burlington. Household income is the strongest determinant for participation in boating. Median household income in Halton is 38.1 percent higher than the province (i.e. $83,496 versus $60,455). In Oakville the median household income ($92,394) is 52.8 percent higher and in Burlington ($74,969) 24.0 percent higher than the province. Within the income group $75,000 to $99,999; which has the second highest participation rate in boating (i.e. 28.7%), all three areas are under-represented: Halton by 1.4 percent, Oakville by 3.3 percent and Burlington by 1.1 percent (i.e. 12.1%, 10.2%, and 12.4% respectively compared to 13.5% for Ontario). Households with an average income of $100,000 or more have the highest participation rate in power and sail boating at 32.6 percent. In this case, all three areas are well over-represented when compared to the rest of Ontario, with Halton at 45.4 percent, Oakville at 49.2 percent, and Burlington at 39.3 percent compared to the province’s 16.8 percent. 3.3 Projected Population of Halton 2013 to 2031 There are no data available other than by age and gender characteristics which project the population of Halton over the next twenty year period. Therefore we have used the Region’s Best Planning Estimates, June 2011, as a base along with the Ontario Ministry of Finance’s, Ontario Population Projection Update, 2009-2036, Spring 2013, and Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Forecasts to 2041, Technical Report, November 2012, Hemson data to arrive at projections for each year (EXHIBIT 10). The population of Halton 25 and older1 is projected to increase from 359,130 in 2013 (169,920 males, 189,210 females) to 403,630 by 2018 (196,670 males, 206,960 females), to 451,670 by 2023 (220,220 males, 231,450 females), to 498,180 by 2028 (243,520 males, 254,660 females), and reach 528,100 by 2031 (258,250 males, 269,850 females), (Figure 7). This represents a 47 percent increase in the population between 2013 and 2031. During this same time period the population of Ontario 25 and older is projected to increase by only 25.5 percent from 9,614,530 (4,661,300 males, 4,953,230 females) in 2013, to 12,064,180 (5,850,820 males, 6,213,360 females) in 2031 (EXHIBIT 11). The period between 2011 and 2031 will also see a 53.9 percent increase in employment in Halton while that of the province will increase by 26.8 percent.2 The increased growth in the age groups with high participation rates in boating (i.e. 35 to 44 and 45 to 54) and employment in Halton indicates a likely large increase in the demand for recreational boating activities and a larger share of Ontario’s power and sail boaters (Figure 8). 3.4 Projected Growth in Boating Activities Between 2011 and 2030 participation in power boating, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and rowing are all projected to increase. There are no comparable projections available for outrigger canoeing, paddle boating, and stand up paddle boarding, although anecdotal information based on the increased number of members at area clubs suggests that participation in these activities is also in a growth mode. ____ 1Very few power or sail boats are owned by those under 25 2Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Forecasts to 2041, Hemson Consulting Limited, 2012 and Ontario’s Long-Term Report on the Economy, Ministry of Finance, 2010



Figure 7 - Halton Population Projections 2011 to 2031 (25 and over)

Note: Few boats are owned by those under 25, and the 25 to 64 age group categories have the highest participation rates in power and sail boating Based on data provided by Statistics Canada, General Social Survey and Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (Figure 9) participation in power boating, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and rowing is projected to increase over the 20 years between 2011 and 2030 as follows:

• Power boating - 2011 (10.8%) 2020 (13.0%) 2030 (14.6%) • Sailing - 2011 (3.6%) 2020 (4.3%) 2030 (4.8%) • Canoeing - 2011 (6.8%) 2020 (7.6%) 2030 (8.3%) • Kayaking - 2011 (2.4%) 2020 (4.4%) 2030 (5.4%) • Rowing - 2011 (3.0%) 2020 (3.1%) 2030 (3.3%)

Based on these projected participating rates the number of male power and sail boaters in Halton in the age groups with the highest participation rates (i.e. 35 to 44 and 45 to 54) are expected in increase from 16,560 in 2013 to 17,440 in 2018, to 18,450 in 2023, to 20,140 in 2028 and reach 21,380 by 2031. Females in the same two age group categories are projected to increase from 14,560 in 2013, to 14,900 by 2018, to 15,830 by 2023, to 17,240 by 2028, and reach 18,240 by 2031. This represents a 29 percent increase in the number of male power and sail boaters and a 23 percent increase in the number of female power and sail boaters in Halton (Figure 10). Given that the slips and moorings in Halton were at capacity in 2013, there will be an increased need for additional slips in Halton each year between 2014 and 2031.

SECTION 4 – EXISITING AND PROJECTED NUMBER OF BOATS IN ONTARIO 4.0 Introduction Since 100 percent of the market for seasonal slips and moorings along the waterfront in Halton will come from Ontario1 and over 95 percent of the market for transient slips will come from Ontario and New York2, we have concentrated our analysis regarding the number, length, beam and draft of these boats on these two geographic areas. For purposes of comparison, similar numbers have been included in the EXHIBITS at the end of this report for the neighbouring states of Pennsylvania and Michigan. 4.1 Historical Number of Boats by Length, Beam and Draft, 2007 to 2012 Since few boats under 6 metres (i.e. 20 feet) venture onto the Great Lakes for any extended period of time, primarily for safety reasons, and there is a high propensity to trailer boats under 6 metres in length to launch ramps for their use rather than occupying a marina slip or moorage, we have only considered those boats 6 metres or longer as a base of comparison for our projections of Halton’s potential need for additional slips. As shown in EXHIBIT 12, in 2012 there were approximately 112,180 registered power and sail boats of this size in Ontario, and 41,640 in New York State. The number of boats under 6 metres has increased an average of 0.6 percent per annum in Ontario, and -1.1 percent in New York State. There was a slight increase in 2012 over 2011 in New York State. Boats 6 metres or more on the other hand have increased 3.1 percent per annum in Ontario. Those in New York have decreased by 1.0 percent each year between 2007 and 2011, with only 2012 again showing an increase over 2011. Our interviews with government officials, boat manufacturers and marina owner/operators in Ontario, and New York indicate that the stronger economic growth in Canada until 2008 and confidence in a return to a stronger economy in 2011 and 2012 after the downturn of 2008-2010 were the reasons why Ontario boaters bought larger boats as first time buyers or traded-up for larger boats as repeat buyers at a faster rate than those in New York. Our interviews with U.S. officials did indicate there are positive signs for an economic recovery in New York State beyond 2012. Boat manufacturers and boaters also tell us that the movement toward bigger boats results from a movement away from cottage ownership. Larger boats in some cases have as many staterooms as cottages have bedrooms. The typical drive to a cottage in Ontario is 1½ to 2 hours whereas to a seasonal slip it is normally 30 minutes or less. EXHIBIT 16 at the end of this report indicates that in 2012 Ontario had 42.6 percent (1,130,088) of the registered power and sail boats in Canada, Quebec was second at 20.0 percent (531,080) and British Columbia third at 14.2 percent and 376,696 boats. 4.1.1 Length The length or length overall (LOA) is the maximum length of the boat’s hull measured parallel to the waterline. It is the most commonly used way of expressing the size of a boat, and is used for calculating the cost of a marina slip lease. The number of boats 6 metres to less than 8 metres (i.e. 20 ft. to less than 26 ft.) has increased 2.0 percent per annum between 2007 and 2012 in Ontario, and decreased 2.0 percent per annum in New York. These are the boats that are typically used for fishing, water skiing and wakeboarding and are trailered to a launch ramp for each activity day (Figure 11). Boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres (i.e. 26 ft. to less than 30 ft.) have increased 2.4 percent per annum in Ontario, and 0.6 _____ 1 According to a recent study conducted by the National Marine Manufacturers Association the maximum distance boaters prefer to travel to a marina to use their boat on a regular basis is 50 kilometres or approximately 30 minutes driving time 2 According to a survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and Michigan State University, Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Resources 94 percent of boater’s days away from their home marina are spent within 80 nautical miles



percent in New York. Those 9 metres to less than 11 metres (i.e. 30 ft. to less than 36 ft.) have increased 5.8 percent per annum in Ontario, and 1.7 percent in New York. Boats 11 metres to less than 14 metres (i.e. 36 ft. to less than 46 ft.) have increased 5.1 percent per annum in Ontario, and 1.7 percent in New York State. In each market the greatest annual percentage increase took place in those boats 14 metres or more in length or 46 feet or more (i.e. 5.9 percent per annum in Ontario, and 4.6 percent in New York), (Figure 12 and Figure 13). Our discussions with boating officials and marina owner/operators in New York indicated that the wealthier boaters owning the largest boats have been less affected by the poor economy in the United States since 2007. Boats in these five size categories are the ones that are currently using the slips and moorings at the eight facilities in Halton Region.

` Figure 13 - Historical Growth in Length of Largest New York State’s Recreational Boats (2007 to 2012)

4.1.2 Beam The beam of a boat is its width at the widest point measured at the vessel’s normal waterline. Within Ontario and New York there were approximately 569,910 and 238,120 power and sail boats respectively with a beam of 2 metres to less than 3 metres (i.e. 6 ft. 6” to less than 10 ft.); 21,860 and 9,424 respectively from 3 metres to less than 4 metres (i.e. 10 ft. to less than 13 ft.); and 10,800 and 6,020 respectively with a beam of 4 or more metres (i.e. 13 ft. or more) in 2012. Between 2007 and 2012, the number of boats in Ontario with a beam of 2 metres to less than 3 metres saw an increase of 0.8 percent annually. Those with a beam of 3 metres to less than 4 metres and 4 metres and wider increased 5.8 percent and 5.9 percent per annum respectively. The increase in the beam of boats in New York State is less dramatic. Boats with a beam of 2 metres to less than 3 metres decreased 1.0 percent per annum, while those 3 metres to less than 4 metres and 4 metres and wider increased by 0.4 percent and 1.0 percent each year (EXHIBIT 13). What is clearly evident from these numbers is that boats are getting longer and wider and marinas will need to recognize this if they wish to maintain or possibly increase their share of the Ontario and New York State boater market. 4.1.3 Draft Draft is the vertical distance of a boat between the waterline and the bottom of the hull or keel in the case of a sail boat. Draft determines the minimum depth of water a boat can safely navigate. As boats have grown in length and beam (width) between 2007 and 2012, their draft has also increased though at a much more uniform rate than length and width. EXHIBIT 14 demonstrates that in Ontario the rate of annual increase for boats with a draft of 0.61 metres to less than 1.52 metres (i.e. 2 ft. to less than 5 ft.) was 0.8 percent per annum while New York showed a decrease of 1.0 percent per annum. Those boats in Ontario with a draft of 1.52 metres to less than 1.83 metres (i.e. 5 ft. to less than 6 ft.) and 1.83 metres and more (i.e. 6 ft. or more) increased 2.6 percent and 3.1 percent each year respectively. Boats in New York showed the largest percentage increases in the 1.52 metres to less than 1.83 metres and 1.83 metres and more draft categories; 1.4 percent each year in the former and 0.9 percent each year in the latter.

4.2 Projected Number of Boats Based on our discussions with boating officials and boat manufacturers/builders in Canada and the United States, we have projected that the total number of boats in Ontario less than 6 metres (i.e. less than 20 feet in length) will increase from approximately 1,022,500 in 2013, to 1,079,900 by 2031, an increase of 5.6 percent over that period. Those 6 metres or more in length will increase from approximately 114,900 in 2013, to 129,500 in 2018, to 143,200 by 2023, to 155,700 by 2028, and reach approximately 163,000 by 2031, an increase of 41.8 percent over that period. Our discussions with boating officials in New York and the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) in Chicago indicates that that the total number of boats in New York State 6 metres or more in length will increase from approximately 42,000 in 2013, to 43,900 in 2018, to 45,600 in 2023, to 47,000 in 2028, and reach approximately 47,700 by 2031, an increase of approximately 13.6 percent over that period. Ontario’s growth in boats 6 metres or more in length is three times that of New York State. Based on the data provided to us, we have projected a greater increase for Ontario compared to New York because economists are predicting that the recovering economy in Canada and Ontario will continue to outpace that of the United States and New York, and all of the boat manufacturers that we interviewed are confident that sales and registration of larger boats in Ontario will exceed that exhibited between 2007 and 2012. While all indications are that the number of boats in Ontario and New York in each length category will increase beyond 2012, we have chosen to take a more conservative growth rate (i.e. reduced growth rate) beyond 2018 (i.e. for boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres, we have used a growth rate of 1.75 per annum between 2012 and 2018, 1.25 percent per annum from 2018 to 2023, 0.7 percent per annum from 2023 to 2028, and 0.2 percent per annum from 2028 to 2031). A similar reduced growth rate has been used in the projections for each length of boat. We have chosen to do this to account for any unforeseen uncertainties that may occur between 2014 and 2031 and have not already been accounted for in our projections. In EXHIBITS 19, 20, 21, and 22 for Ontario and EXHIBITS 23, 24, 25, and 26 for New York State, the growth projections use the size category as a base for projecting from the 2012 number. For example, in EXHIBIT 19 for Ontario, and EXHIBIT 23 for New York a distinct growth rate was applied to the 2012 base number in each category of length. The growth rate in each category was derived from data available between 2007 and 2012 and the projections provided by boat manufacturers/builders in Canada and the United States for what they will sell between 2013 and 2031 and the number of boats that Transport Canada, Service Canada believes will be registered in Ontario and the number the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles believes will be registered during the 2013 to 2031 time period. The number of pleasure craft licenses granted and cancelled by Transport Canada in 2013 indicates that we have been conservative with our projections for 2013 (EXHIBITS 17 and 18). Not only is the Transport Canada data an additional source on which to base our projections, it also provides an additional assurance that we are not overstating the number of boats expected in Ontario between 2014 and 2031. 4.2.1 Length of Ontario Boats The number of power and sail boats in Ontario 6 metres to less than 8 metres will continue to represent the largest share of boats in Halton’s waterfront area during the 2013 to 2031 time period. Boats in this category are projected to grow from approximately 64,700 in 2013, to 69,100 by 2018, 71,900 by 2023, 73,400 by 2028, and reach 74,230 by 2028. This represents an average annual growth rate between 2013 and 2018 of 1.4 percent, 0.8 percent per annum between 2018 and 2023, 0.4 percent each year between 2023 and 2028 and 0.2 percent per annum between 2028 and 2031. The higher growth rate among those boats of greater length exhibited between 2007 and 2012 is projected to continue between 2013 and 2031. Boats 9 metres to less than 11 metres are projected to grow 5.0 percent per annum between 2013 and 2018 and a further 4.5 percent, 3.9 percent and 2.0 percent each year respectively between 2018 and 2023, 2023 and 2028, and 2028 and 2031. Those Ontario boats from 11 metres to less than 14 metres are projected to increase 4.4 percent per annum between 2013 and 2018, 3.8 percent per annum between 2018 and 2023, 3.2 percent per annum between 2023 and 2028, and a



further 1.6 percent per annum between 2028 and 2031. The largest boats, those 14 metres and more in length are projected to have the highest growth rate per annum at 5.1 percent, 4.6 percent, 4.0 percent, and 2.0 percent in each of the noted time periods between 2013 and 2031 (EXHIBIT 19). This projected increased growth in the length of boats will have a particularly strong impact on the facilities in Oakville and Bronte Harbour where there is already a shortage of longer slips and many of the fairways are sub-standard in terms of width. This shortage will be further exacerbated as there will be a need to either modify the number of slips to accommodate wider beam widths or add more slips. Between 2013 and 2031 the number of boats in Ontario is projected to grow as follows:

Length 2013 2023 2031 Percentage Increase

6 m. to <8 m. (20 ft. to <26 ft.) 64,700 71,950 74,230 14.7% 8 m. to <9 m. (26 ft. to <30 ft.) 12,780 14,760 15,440 20.8% 9 m. to <11 m. (30 ft. to <36 ft.) 19,400 29,720 39,010 101.1% 11 m. to <14 m. (36 ft. to <46 ft.) 11,590 16,810 21,120 82.2% 14 m. and longer (46 ft. or more) 6,470 9,980 13,180 103.7% Figure 14 following shows that although the number of boats in Ontario 6 metres to less than 8 metres in length has and will continue to increase, the percentage share of this size of boats has and will decrease relative to those 9 metres and over. Although boats 8 metres and longer will continue to increase their share of the boat market, those less than 8 metres will continue to dominate the market for the foreseeable future.

4.2.2 Beam of Ontario Boats The trend toward wider boats in the years 2007 to 2012 is also expected to continue for the period between 2013 and 2031 (EXHIBIT 20). Within Ontario, the number of boats with a beam of 2 metres to less than 3 metres (i.e. 6 ft. 6’ to less than 10 ft.) is projected to grow 0.6 percent per annum between 2013 and 2018, 0.8 percent per annum between 2018 and 2028, and 0.5 percent between 2028 and 2031, whereas boats 3 metres to less than 4 metres wide (i.e. 10 ft. to less than 13 ft.) are projected to increase 5.2 percent per annum between 2013 and 2018, 5.6 percent per annum between 2018 and 2023, 5.5 percent per annum between 2023 and 2028, and a further 4.6 percent per annum between 2028 and 2031. Boats with the widest beam 4 metres or more (i.e. 13 ft. or more) are projected to grow by 5.5 percent each year from 2013 until 2018, 5.9 percent each year between 2018 and 2023, 5.8 percent each year between 2023 and 2028, and a further 4.8 percent each year from 2028 through 2031. The number of boats in Ontario with a beam of 3 metres or more is projected to increase from approximately 34,200 in 2013, to 55,700 by 2023, and reach approximately 80,900 by 2031; an increase of 136.5 percent. The facilities with already narrow slips will be negatively impacted by the increased growth in wider boats. Between 2013 and 2031 the width of boats in Ontario is projected to grow as follows:

Beam 2013 2023 2031 Percentage Increase

2 m. to <3 m. (6 ft. 6” to <10 ft.) 573,190 615,430 646,540 12.8% 3 m. to <4 m. (10 ft. to <13 ft.) 22,900 37,020 53,330 132.9% 5 m. or more (13 ft. or more) 11,330 18,700 27,540 143.1% 4.2.3 Draft of Ontario Boats Boats in Ontario with a draft of 0.61 metres to less than 0.91 metres, and 0.91 metres to less than 1.22 metres are projected to increase by 0.6 percent each year between 2013 and 2018, 0.5 percent each year between 2018 and 2023, 0.4 percent each year between 2023 and 2028, and a further 0.2 percent each year between 2028 and 2031. Those boats 1.22 metres to less than 1.52 metres in draft are projected to increase by 1.8 percent each year between 2013 and 2018, and 1.6 percent, 1.5 percent and 0.9 percent each year between 2018 and 2023, 2023 and 2028, and 2028 and 2031 respectively. Boats with a draft of 1.52 metres to less than 1.83 metres are projected to increase by 2.4 percent per annum between 2013 and 2018 and the same 2.2 percent per annum between 2018 and 2023, and 2023 and 2028, with a further increase of 1.4 percent per annum between 2028 and 2031. Boats with the deepest draft (i.e. 1.83 metres or more) are projected to have the greatest percentage increases each year between 2013 and 2031, increasing 3.0 percent each year between 2013 and 2018, 2.8 percent each year between 2018 and 2023, 3.5 percent each year between 2023 and 2028, and 2.2 percent each year between 2028 and 2031 (EXHIBIT 21). Between 2013 and 2031 the draft of boats in Ontario is projected to grow as follows:

Draft 2013 2023 2031 Percentage Increase

0.6 m to <1.22 m (2 ft. to <4 ft.) 593,670 627,120 644,450 8.6% 1.22 m. to <1.52 m. (4 ft. to <5 ft.) 28,670 33,780 38,080 32.8% 1.52 m. to <1.83 m. (5 ft. to <6 ft.) 2,510 3,120 3,700 47.4% 1.83 m. or more (6 ft. or more) 1,180 1,550 2,020 71.2% 4.2.4 Length of New York State Boats Based on the improved economic growth forecasts for the United States and New York State beyond 2012, we are able to project a slight positive growth rate for New York boats between 2013 and 2031. Boats 6 metres to less than 8 metres, are projected to increase 0.2 percent per year between 2013 and



2028 and 0.1 percent each year between 2028 and 2031. The boats most likely to visit the facilities in Halton are those 8 metres or more in length (i.e. 26 feet or more). Of these, boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres are projected to grow 0.3 percent per annum between 2013 and 2028 and 0.2 percent per annum between 2028 and 2031. Those boats 9 metres to less than 11 metres are projected to increase 1.1 percent per annum from 2013 until 2018 and a further 0.7 percent, 0.5 percent and 0.3 percent each year between 2018 and 2023, 2023 and 2028, and 2028 and 2031 respectively. Boats 11 metres to less than 14 metres are projected to grow 1.1 percent each year between 2013 and 2018, 0.6 percent each year between 2018 and 2023, 0.5 percent each year between 2023 and 2028, and another 0.2 percent each year between 2028 and 2031. As in Ontario, boats 14 metres and longer in New York are projected to exhibit the strongest growth rates at 4.0 percent per annum between both 2013 and 2018, 3.3 percent per annum from 2018 to 2023, 2.7 percent per annum from 2023 to 2028, and 1.4 percent per annum from 2028 until 2031. The number of boats 8 metres or longer are projected to increase from approximately 24,000 in 2013, to 27,700 by 2023, and reach approximately 29,100 by 2031 (EXHIBIT 23). 4.2.5 Beam of New York State Boats Boats in New York State with the narrowest beam (i.e. 2 metres to less than 3 metres) are projected to increase slightly between 2013 and 2031 at 0.2 percent per annum between 2013 and 2018, 0.1 percent per annum between 2018 and 2028 and less than 0.1 percent per annum between 2028 and 2031. Those boats with a beam of 3 metres to less than 4 metres are projected to increase 3.9 percent each year between 2013 and 2018, 3.5 percent each year between 2018 and 2028, and a further 2.0 percent per year from 2028 to 2031. Between 2013 and 2018 boats in New York with a beam of 4 metres or more are projected to increase by 4.2 percent each year, between 2018 and 2023 by 3.9 percent each year, between 2023 and 2028 by 4.1 percent each year and 2.2 percent per annum from 2028 to 2031 (EXHIBIT 24). 4.2.6 Draft of New York State Boats Boats in New York State with a draft of 0.91 metres to less than 1.22 metres are projected to grow from approximately 56,800 in 2013, to 59,200 by 2023 and reach approximately 60,200 by 2031 (EXHIBIT 25). Those boats requiring a draft of 1.22 metres to less than 1.52 metres are projected to increase from approximately 11,800 in 2013, to 13,100 by 2023, and reach 14,000 by 2031. Boats with a draft of 1.52 metres to less than 1.83 metres are projected to increase from approximately 1,100 in 2013, to 1,300 by 2023, and reach approximately 1,600 by 2031. New York boats in the deepest draft category (i.e. 1.83 metres and more) are projected to increase from 500 in 2013, to 600 by 2023 and reach approximately 700 by 2031.



SECTION 5 – CURRENT AND PROJECTED NEED FOR SEASONAL AND TRANSIENT SLIPS AND LAUNCH RAMPS IN HALTON REGION 5.0 Introduction The need for additional slips and launch ramps in Halton is dependent on three major factors:

• The ability of the existing marina facilities within the market area to meet the current and future demand, and the overall occupancy rate of the marinas within the seasonal market area;

• The growth in the number of power and sail boats in the seasonal market area and the changes

in their length, beam and draft; and,

• The market area for seasonal slips and launch ramps exhibits socio-demographic characteristics that are strong determinants of power and sail boating demand.

Based on our analysis of these factors in the previous three sections of this report, there is a demonstrated need for additional slips and launch ramps in Halton. The projected level of that need is described in this section. 5.1 Need for Seasonal Slips Based on our interviews with marina operators and yacht club commodores in Halton we have assumed that the boats requiring seasonal slips are at least 6 metres or more in length (i.e. approximately 20 feet or more). As shown in EXHIBIT 27, we estimate that there were approximately 4,400 boats 6 metres or more in length in Halton in 2013. Since data on the number of registered boats in Ontario are not county or region specific, we have arrived at our estimate of boats by dividing the number of boats in Ontario by the population. This provides us with the number of persons per boat (i.e. 118.6) or that there is one boat of this size for every 118.6 persons. By dividing the population of Halton by the number of residents per boat in the market area we arrive at the number of seasonal boats (e.g. 525,260/118.6 = 4,430 seasonal boats). Since we are using averages, it is recognized that this method may over-estimate land locked areas (i.e. Middlesex, Waterloo), and under-estimate others with a large waterfront area (i.e. Halton, Peel). Overall we believe that it provides a reasonable estimate given the data available. This approach is widely used by private and public sector marina developers in North America and internationally to estimate the number of boats in the market area. The U.S. National Park Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) use this approach in their watershed area studies in the United States as does Parks Canada. In arriving at the number of boats that require seasonal slips it is necessary to eliminate those that are moored at private docks or boathouses and those that are trailered to a launch ramp on a per use basis. Our discussions with planners and officials at Conservation Authorities indicated that there is no readily available data regarding the number of residences in Halton with docks or boathouses. We have therefore used a conservative estimate that 5 percent of the households with waterfront property on Lake Ontario have boats moored at private docks or boathouses. Our discussions with the National Marine Manufacturers Association - Canada and a number of Canadian boat trailer sellers provided an estimate of approximately 20% of boats 6 metres to less than 8 metres and 2% of boats 8 metres or longer are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis. We have excluded these trailered boats from the number requiring a slip. We have further reduced the number of boats requiring a slip by 150 boats to account for the residents particularly in North Halton who keep their boats at marinas on Georgian Bay or other locations. The North Halton Power & Sail Squadron has a number of members who do this (EXHIBIT 28). By comparing the number of seasonal slips available in 2013 with the number of seasonal boats as derived in EXHIBIT 28, it is evident that there is more demand than supply and additional slips are



needed. LaSalle Park Marina is proposing to add 120 seasonal slips for the opening of the 2016 boating season. There is a theory among many marina operators and boat manufacturers throughout North America today that if there are no adequate slips at a port, the number of boats in the area will reflect this deficiency. If on the other hand, quality facilities are offered, these facilities will actually foster boat ownership and activity in the area. Port Whitby Marina in Whitby and Meyer’s Pier in Belleville are direct examples of this theory. We estimate that at the end of the boating season in 2013 there was a need for 430 additional slips. If LaSalle Park Marina is able add 120 new seasonal slips in time for the 2016 boating season, the need for additional seasonal slips will reach 600. By 2018, the need for additional slips will rise to 820 (EXHIBIT 28). The trend toward longer and wider boats will have a significant impact on the number of slips in Oakville and Bronte Harbours where the finger docks are short and the fairways narrow. It is evident that there is a current and future need for seasonal slips in the 10.67 metre (35 foot), 12.12 metre (40 foot), and 13.72 metre (45 foot) range. 5.2 Need for Transient Slips 5.2.1 Transient Boater Market Area Two sources of information were used in determining the likely market for the use of transient slips in Halton: a 2009 Great Lakes boating survey and our interviews with 75 yacht and boating clubs on Lake Ontario in Ontario and New York within the market area of Halton’s facilities. The 2009 Great Lakes Boating Survey, was conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and Michigan State University, Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Resources. According to the Great Lakes Boating Survey, 60 percent of boater’s days away from their home marina are spent within 20 nautical miles. A further 20 percent are spent within 21 and 40 nautical miles, 10 percent within 41 to 60 nautical miles, 6 percent within 61 to 80 nautical miles, and the final 4 percent beyond 80 nautical miles (EXHIBIT 29). Our telephone interviews with the yacht and boating clubs in Ontario and New York State situated on Lake Ontario provided an indication of the boating trips’ characteristics, their likelihood of using a transient slip in Halton, and their comments on other marinas they frequent. The information obtained through our boater survey confirmed the results of the larger Great Lakes survey. For this reason, we have defined the transient boater market area for Halton’s facilities as follows:

• 60 percent of boater demand will come from the Toronto to Jordon Harbour area (i.e. within 20 nautical miles of Bronte Harbour1). During the 2013 boating season, there were 22 marinas and yacht clubs within 20 nautical miles, all within Ontario, mooring a total of 4,709 boats (EXHIBIT 31A).

• 80 percent of boater demand will come from within 40 nautical miles of Bronte Harbour (i.e.

Toronto to Pickering in the east; and St. Catharines to Niagara-on-the-Lake to the southwest in Ontario, and Lewiston to Wilson in New York State on the south side of Lake Ontario). During the 2013 boating season there were 25 marinas and yacht clubs in Ontario within 21 to 40 nautical miles, with 4,593 boats, and 10 marinas and yacht clubs in New York State with 675 boats (EXHIBIT 31B).

________ 1Bronte Harbour is approximately the mid-point of the Halton Region waterfront



• 90 percent of transient boater demand will come from within 60 nautical miles of Bronte Harbour (i.e. Whitby to Newcastle to the east in Ontario; and Wilson to Olcott to the southwest in New York). There were 9 marinas and yacht clubs operating seasonal slips during the 2013 boating season within 41 to 60 nautical miles, of these 5 were in Ontario and 4 in New York, mooring 929 boats in Ontario and 39 in New York State respectively (EXHIBIT 31C).

• As indicated previously, 96 percent of transient boater demand will come from within 80 nautical

miles of Bronte Harbour (i.e. Port Hope to Cobourg in the east in Ontario; and Kent to Kendall in the southwest in New York State). Nine marinas and yacht clubs were open for business in this area during the 2013 boating season, mooring 741 boats. Of these, 242 boats were kept at 3 marinas and yacht clubs in Ontario and 499 at 6 marinas and yacht clubs in New York (EXHIBIT 31D).

• During the 2013 boating season, there were 12,003 Ontario boats moored at 55 marinas and

yacht clubs within 80 nautical miles of Bronte Harbour and 1,213 boats at 20 marinas and yacht clubs in New York State.

• Approximately 4 percent of transient boater demand will come from beyond 80 nautical miles,

typically generated by long distance sailors or cruisers. 5.2.2 Existing Number of Transient Boats in Market Area The number of transient boats visiting Halton facilities is dependent on the number of boats within the market and their distance from Halton. In the 2013 boating season there were 11,686 occupied slips (i.e. 11,686 boats) within 80 nautical miles of Halton. Of these, 4,709 were within 20 nautical miles and would have the greatest likelihood of visiting on one or more occasions. The least likely are those 741 boats within 61 to 80 nautical miles. According to surveys conducted by the United States Coast Guard in 2011 and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Canada in 2010, the average number of days that a boater is typically away from his/her home marina differs for power and sailboats. In Canada the average for power boats is approximately 19 days and for sailboats 22 days. In the Northeast U.S. the average is approximately 21 days for power boats and 25 days for sail boats (EXHIBIT 32). The number of potential transient boaters is a function of the number of power boats and sailboats within the market area, (EXHIBIT 33) multiplied by the number of days that the boat is expected to leave its home marina, (EXHIBIT 30) and the distance it has to travel to get to the facilities in Halton (i.e. 0 to 20, 21 to 40, 41 to 60, or 61 to 80 nautical miles). It is assumed that not all of these boats would be looking for a transient slip. Based on this approach the 11,686 boats within the market area in 2013 would generate 54,190 boater days away from their home marinas. The projections of boater days exclude boats that are out racing, cruising, water skiing, wakeboarding, and anchored away from the home marina for swimming, sunbathing, picnicking, etc (EXHIBIT 34). It should also be noted that the projections of potential transient boaters have been reduced by 4 percent to account for bad weather days within the 138 day boating season (i.e. May 15 to September 30) when waves may exceed one metre and prevent most boats from leaving their home port. 5.2.3 Projected Number of Transient Boats in Market Area Based on the expected growth rate of boats 6 metres in length (i.e. 20 feet in length or longer) in Ontario and New York State, we have projected that the number of boats within the transient market area of the boating facilities in Halton will increase from 11,686 in 2013, to 13,080 by 2018, to 14,380 by 2023, to 15,540 by 2028, and reach 16,220 by 2031 (EXHIBIT 35). The projected number of potential transient boaters within the market area of Halton is shown in EXHIBIT 36. In 2013 there were approximately 54,190 transient boaters within 80 nautical miles of Halton, of which 37,880 were within 20, 14,340 were within 21 to 40, 1,330 were within 41 to 60, and 640 were



within 61 to 80 nautical miles of Bronte Harbour. By 2018 the total number of transient boater days within the overall market area is projected to increase to 59,900, to 65,170 by 2023, to 69,930 by 2028, and reach 72,700 by 2031. As was the case with seasonal slips, there is clearly an existing and growing transient boater market that the boating facilities in Halton would be in a position to attract. The Oakville Harbour, Bronte Harbour and Bronte Outer Harbour Marina are in easy walking distance of the type of shops and restaurants of interest to transient boaters. The numbers provided by the marinas and yacht clubs within Halton (EXHIBIT 1C) and those within the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area and beyond (EXHIBIT 31) confirm there is significant transient boater market to be attracted. While we believe that Oakville, Burlington and Halton should increase the number of transient slips available; this number should not exceed the industry average of approximately 15 percent of the total slips available. Transient slips, while heavily used on weekends especially holiday weekends, generally attract low use during the Monday to Friday time period. Based on the number of transient boaters attracted to the facilities in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area (EXHIBIT 31), 200 transient slips in Halton (i.e. 1,344 x 0.15 = 200) could be expected to attract a minimum of 6,000 transient boaters annually. An established marina (i.e. Year 4 or 5) in a good market can expect to reach high occupancy rates on holiday weekends and established special event weekends, as shown below. Monday through Friday are difficult days to attract transient boaters even with very attractive discounts.

(established marina in a good market) Holiday Weekends 90 to 100% Existing Special Event Weekends 75 to 100% New Special Event Weekends 65 to 85% Normal Weekends 55 to 65% Normal Weekdays 5 to 10% 5.2.4 What Transient Boaters are Interested In According to our interviews with the yacht and boating clubs on Lake Ontario in Ontario and New York, transient boaters are looking for the following:

• Sturdy full length finger docks; • Safe (relatively sheltered) marina basin or harbour; • A feeling of security, through a safety system, personnel or location and other watchful patrons; • Adequate dockside power, including varying fittings and different electrical requirements, based

on boat size/need; • Freshwater supply; • Pump out; • Internet/Wi-Fi; • Upland amenities, such as clean and inviting restrooms, showers and laundry facilities; • Fuel service or at least close access to fuel; • Access to provisions; • Short term storage space; • Staff on docks to assist in docking and providing local directions and advice; • A list in the marina office with telephone numbers of businesses in the area having the services

boaters need (i.e. repair facilities, laundry if not on site, grocery stores, convenience stores, shopping, restaurants);

• A variety of nearby attractions or events; and, • A place to exercise pets.

Other amenities mentioned less frequently were the provision of a shuttle service to town or the availability of bicycles. Since virtually all of the services and amenities mentioned above are also



important in attracting the seasonal boater market there should be no additional cost to the marinas or municipalities in catering to the transient boater market. Among transient boaters those that come for special events such as festivals and regattas tend to be the highest spenders as they typically stay for more than one day. Those on their way to or from another destination tend to stay for less than half a day. The inclusion of more transient slips in Halton would have a significant economic impact on the businesses in downtown Oakville and Burlington. Expenditures by transient boaters at grocery stores, restaurants, marine supply outlets, other retail outlets, marine repair shops and tourist attractions and events within Halton would be substantial. The Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Recreation, and Culture, Travel Activities and Motivation Survey (TAMS), 2006 indicates an average per person transient boater expenditure of $32.80 for less than a 12 hour stay, $42.70 for less than 24 hours and not overnight, and $192.10 for an overnight stay (average stay 3 nights). This assumes 2.1 persons per boat as per industry average. 5.3 Need for Launch Ramps Boats that are trailered to launch ramps are typically less than 8 metres (less than 26 feet). Approximately 20 percent of boats 6 metres to less than 8 metres (i.e. 20 feet to less than 26 feet), and 2 percent of boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres (i.e. 26 feet to less than 30 feet) are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis. Launch ramp use is usually concentrated during a three-hour launch period (morning) and three-hour retrieval period (afternoon). Launch ramps require a large amount of parking space. Typically a one lane ramp should have at least 35 to 45 vehicle and boat trailer parking spaces. A two lane launch ramp should have between 45 and 75 spaces. While we have determined that there is a sizable number of boats in Halton that would likely use a launch ramp (EXHIBIT 37), there is little data available to indicate the current level of use, as the two facilities in LaSalle Park in Burlington are free of charge and are not monitored. The Bronte Beach launch ramp, and Oakville Shipyard Park launch ramp had 2,200 users in 2013. The number of boats likely to use a launch ramp in Halton is projected to increase from 14,300 in 2013, to 15,440 by 2018, to 16,470 by 2023, to 17,370 by 2028, and reach 17,890 by 2031. Ideally, based on the existing data, one additional launch ramp will be required by 2018, two additional launch ramps (for a total of 6) will be required by 2023, and three more by 2031 for a total of seven. However, until more detailed user data is available for the existing launch ramps we would recommend that the municipalities concentrate on improving the existing facilities rather than adding additional ones. It should be noted that the Ministry of Natural Resources considers there is a world class fishery off Bronte/Oakville Harbours, especially for salmon fishing.1 There are currently eight fishing charter boat operators in Oakville and Bronte, and the Ministry feels that the fishery could support at least 12 fishing charter boats. In addition, the 34,100 licensed anglers in Halton Region spend hundreds of dollars each annually within the Region on fishing and boating equipment.2

SECTION 6 – PLANNING FOR FUTURE BOATER NEEDS IN HALTON 6.0 Introduction It is clear from the research and data presented in the preceding Sections of this report that:

• The population of Halton will increase at a faster rate than that of the province as a whole during the next twenty years1;

• The participation rates in power boating, sail boating, canoeing, kayaking, and rowing kayaking

will continue to increase;

• The number of power and sail boats registered in Ontario will continue to increase;

• Power and sail boats have and will increase in length, width and to a lesser extent draft;

• Haltons’ marinas are at capacity today; and,

• There is no room within Bronte Harbour Regional Waterfront Park or Oakville’s Sixteen Mile Creek to expand capacity.

It is also clear as illustrated in Table 4 below that while there are many strengths and opportunities related to recreational boating in Halton, there are a number of weaknesses and threats that have serious implications for boating activities. A number of the weaknesses identified in the table are being dealt with or there are plans in place to deal with them. It is unlikely that an additional fuel dock accessible to both power and sail boats is possible within the existing three harbours. It should be noted that the threats are common to all marinas and harbours throughout Ontario and do not place the facilities in Halton at a disadvantage to those in the GTA/Golden Horseshoe Area. We believe that for the most part, the strengths and opportunities for recreational boating in Halton out-weigh the weaknesses and threats. Marinas and boating facilities increase public access to the waterfront; provide more amenities on the waterfront; act as tourism attractions; enhance the physical appearance of the waterfront; raise real estate property values on the waterfront and in nearby neighbourhoods; act as a catalyst for new commercial and residential development, and in doing so increase the tax base; and create an improved aquatic habitat. Visitors attracted to the waterfront as a result of “boater activity” can also be an important source of revenue and economic spinoffs. In addition to the thousands of dollars that power and sail boaters spend annually in seasonal slip rentals, launch and haul-out fees and winter storage fees at their marina, yacht or power boat club in Oakville and Burlington, (EXHIBIT 1) they also spend thousands of dollars annually in the community for fuel, insurance, supplies and repairs.

Table 4 – Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats for Recreational Boating in Halton

Strengths Weaknesses • Existing, active marinas and yacht clubs • Accessible waterfront • Projected growth in age categories with high

participation rates in boating • Diverse and growing local population • Stable local economy • Large and growing population base with easy

access to boating activity areas (i.e. Oakville and Burlington are on Lake Ontario)

• Proximity to U.S. transient boater market which is starting to recover from downturn 2008-2010

• Number of learn to sail programs and participants are increasing at all area clubs

• A number of local clubs offer a variety of programs including ones for the disabled

• Participation in canoeing, kayaking, rowing, paddle boarding, etc. leads to more physically fit population

• Boating activity attracts residents and tourists to the waterfront and downtown area of Oakville and Burlington

• Lack of well designed launch ramps • Existing marinas and club facilities are at

capacity • Insufficient capacity for winter storage • Continual need for dredging in Oakville and

Bronte Harbours • Relative lack of transient slips • Weak link between marinas, harbours and

restaurants, shopping, attractions • One fuel dock accessible to sail boats • Insufficient 30 and 50 amp. power • Lack of security at Oakville Harbour • Lack of readily identifiable space to develop a

marina • Recreational planning for boating is becoming

more complex and contentious • Municipal budgets are limited and in

competition with increasing demand for non-water oriented recreational activities and other priorities

• Crowded sub-standard mooring layout • Lack of finger docks

Opportunities Threats • Large number of boating enthusiasts reside and

are attracted to Halton and downtown urban areas

• Boating appeals to persons of all ages and income levels

• Growing recreational boating market • Growth in the number of bigger boats • Boats are being developed as “floating cottages”

moored in local marinas thereby reducing travel time to cottage

• Transient boating is on the upswing • Transient boaters use restaurants, retail and

shopping outlets, and attractions close to marinas

• Boating events are an additional source of income for local businesses

• Recreational development of waterfront lands acts as a driver for the local economy

• Public waterfront ownership for potential expansion exists

• New marinas and boating facilities could lead to additional related business opportunities or partnerships (i.e. boat repairs, boat sales, boat and boater equipment sales)

• Development provides opportunity to enhance environmental functions and habitat both in the new facilities and where the riverine docks are currently located

• Relocate boating facilities/slips out of areas requiring dredging

• Restore river based wetland ecosystems

• Escalating marina construction costs • Escalating utility costs • Existing facilities not able to meet future boater

needs • Lack of federal and provincial grant funding

sources • Higher marine fuel costs may dampen demand

for power boating • Stringent environmental controls increase cost

of on-going maintenance dredging • Habitat loss or change in the shoreline • Lack of vision to capture market share and

tourism dollars



6.1 Monitoring Current Demand Situation In order to provide boating facilities in a timely fashion it will be necessary to monitor the level of demand in an ongoing manner. For marinas this means maintaining a permanent waiting list which indicates the length, width and beam of the boat requiring a slip or mooring. For boating clubs (i.e. canoeing, kayaking, rowing, etc.) it means documenting the number of persons turned away from program offerings or membership categories. When an individual marina has reached capacity (i.e. 95% occupancy or more) and the marina manager has a documented waiting list approaching one-half the number of seasonal slips, a new or expanded facility is warranted. Given that the environmental, planning and construction steps involved in bringing a new marina to fruition will likely take a minimum of four years (i.e. planning, environmental assessment process and design; approvals by various government agencies; and construction); the waiting list likely will have reached a point where when combined with industry average trade-ups3, the new facility will be assured of success as there will be no shortage of demand for slips. 6.1.1 Meeting Future Seasonal Slip and Boater Demand The study clearly indicates that there is a demand for boating facilities much beyond the capacity of the existing facilities4. It is also clear that the existing facilities and the three main existing locations cannot meet this demand by gradual expansion. The two river locations at Oakville and Bronte cannot expand further within the existing channel to any degree while respecting environmental objectives. The one location on the open lake in Bronte (i.e. Bronte Outer Harbour Marina) is bound by fixed breakwaters and cannot expand within the footprint of the breakwaters. The La Salle Park Marina, as noted in the report, is proposing the provision of a fixed breakwater which then could accommodate some future expansion5. No decision has been made on this location as of the writing of this report. As the identified demand for slips is beyond the capacity of the existing sites in the Region, new locations will need to be considered on a go forward basis. Selection of any new site will be a complex process that will be subject to an individual environmental assessment process and a thorough review by all levels of government and conservation authorities, as well as the general public. The projections suggest that if the demand were to be met with the typical size of marina found on the Great Lakes, it would require the construction of four facilities at least as large as Bronte Outer Harbour Marina along the Halton waterfront by 2031. Clearly, this is a task that will call for extensive public consultations, creativity, and out of box thinking. In addition, the Burloak Canoe Club requires an additional 70 to 75 feet of shoreline dockage for a total of 100 feet to meet current demand, let alone future demand. Additional space and secured parking for people with disabilities would allow the Wai Nui O Kanaka Outrigger Canoe Club to expand its membership as well. ____ 3 A new marina will typically also attract an industry average of approximately 2 percent of the seasonal boaters currently at other marinas in the area who will trade up because of the newer facilities available and/or because it is more conveniently located

4 820 additional slips by 2018; 1,400 slips by 2023; 1,860 slips by 2023; and 2,160 by 2031

5 Even if the City of Hamilton and the Hamilton Port Authority proceed with the planned expansion of 800 slips during the period from 2016 to 2028, and 10% of the demand in the western part of Halton were to choose that location instead, the need for additional slips in Halton would still be 740 in 2018; 1,260 in 2023; 1,670 in 2028; and 1,940 by 2031

Club anticipates modest growth facilitated by improved storage

Turn Away Business Turn away kids applying to elementary program (8 to 13). This is not only related to availability but sufficient numbers of suitable boats does have an impact Turn away kids for Canoe Kids Summer Camp Can only accommodate 2 or 4 crews for Dragon Boating, with more dock space could add many more

No 8 Can add racks to accommodate modest growth for next 3 to 5 years

Capacity for Expansion

Yes for sail training as demand expands

Not at present Utilize existing space to the fullest

Need at least 100 feet of shoreline for dockage in order to meet demand for programs, currently only have 25 to 30 feet. Floating docks further up the river would be a temporary but not ideal solution

Additional space and secured parking for people with disabilities would allow the club to expand its membership

Source: 1EXHIBIT 1A Note: No data is available for the market area regarding the number of boats 6 metres or longer that are moored at private docks or boat houses or are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis

2 No adjustment made for boats moored at private docks or boat houses or are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis 3 Based on discussions with local planners, Conservation Authorities and the Ontario Marine Operators Association (Boating Ontario) we have estimated that 5% of the households with waterfront property on Lake Ontario within Halton Region have boats moored at private docks or boat houses and based on discussions with local marina operators, boat builders/manufacturers, and National Marine Manufacturers Association - Canada 20% of boats 6 to less than 8 metres (i.e. 20 feet to less than 26 feet) and 2% of boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres (i.e. 26 feet to less than 30 feet) are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis 4 We have reduced the number of boats requiring a slip by 150 boats to account for the residents particularly in North Halton who keep their boats at marinas on Georgian Bay or other locations, the North Halton Power & Sail Squadron has a number of members who do this 5 LaSalle Park Marina is expected to add 120 seasonal slips for the opening of the 2016 boating season.

Source: EXHIBITS 12 and 19, and TOURISTICS interviews with marina owner/operators, 2013 Note: Boats that are trailered to launch ramps are typically less than 8 metres (26 feet); 20% of boats 6 to less than 8 metres (i.e. 20 feet to less than 26 feet) and 2% of boats 8 metres to less than 9 metres (i.e. 26 feet to less than 30 feet) are trailered to launch ramps on a per use basis. Launch ramp use is usually concentrated during a three-hour launch period (morning) and three-hour retrieval period (afternoon). The Bronte Beach launch ramp, and Oakville Shipyard Park launch ramp had 2,200 users in 2013. The two launch ramps in Burlington are free of charge and not monitored for use.
