Summary Report and Implementation Plan - Partners in Project Green

6.0 Monitoring and Measuring
Progress
The monitoring of projects plays an important role
in dictating where funding should directed and
whether or not proposed restoration strategies have
been successful or should be altered. This report
recommends two ways for monitoring success:
• Sewershed Monitoring – Implementation in
Focus Area 1: Catchment 219 should focus on
measuring water quality within the catchment
and as water leaves the catchment area.
Monitoring on this scale will provide the needed
feedback to address stormwater upgrades or
whether or not the recommendations have
been successful.
• Regional Monitoring Network (RMN) – TRCA’s
RMN monitors changes in habitat, terrestrial
heritage and water quantity and quality
throughout the watershed and provides a
framework for monitoring changes over time.
• Overall monitoring on the state of terrestrial
natural heritage, aquatic system, water quality
and quantity, and community stewardship
is measured and reported on a regular
basis through watershed report cards and
Etobicoke and Mimico creeks watersheds Creek
Time newsletter.
