Chair ’s Message March 31, 2004 is a significant date in the history of natural resource management in Ontario. Today, having successfully met its funding goals, the Living Legacy Trust reaches its sunset date and ceases operation. Over the past five years, the Trust has granted approximately $31 million to projects designed to improve the management of our province s forestry and fish and wildlife resources, while leveraging an additional $50 million in partnership contributions. An important achievement of the Trust is in providing the means for competing stakeholder groups to reach consensus on decisions that affect our future. Industry, academia, environmentalists and communities came together to seek solutions that address the concerns of all interested groups. Having funded 175 innovative projects, the Living Legacy Trust supports a wide range of improvements in natural resource access and management. The Trust has contributed to the advancement of science in forest sustainability, the development of broader skills among the forest management workforce and increased opportunity in forest employment. Other initiatives will facilitate the participation of First Nations in determining the future of forestry in the area north of the undertaking. The Trust has also funded the development of science-based guidelines and tools to promote an ecological approach to fish and wildlife management and to calibrate new technologies to measure fish abundance and productivity. It has been a privilege to chair and serve with our volunteer Board of Directors whose diverse talents, sound judgment and unwavering commitment to the principles of the Trust resulted in the fair, responsible and constructive allocation of funds. The Trust s knowledgeable and dedicated staff worked tirelessly to ensure that the wishes of the board were carried out and in helping proponents reach their goals. A result of our final funding decision and in compliance with the resolution of the Trust, Lakehead University will assume responsibility for the granting of remaining funds. The university will also develop and maintain a permanent repository of information and related documentation on the achievements of the Living Legacy Trust, ensuring that knowledge gained is safeguarded and that it remains accessible by the citizens of Ontario. Michael Power Role of the Trust The Living Legacy Trust was established as an arms-length, $30 million fund by the Ontario Provincial Government in March 1999. Managed independently by a partnership of stakeholders, it addressed the Province s commitment to provide improved opportunities for the forest industry and to enhance fish and wildlife access and management. Nine specific Funding Programs were established - allocating approximately $22 million to improved forestry practices and $8 million for fish and wildlife access and resource management. Through a Trust Agreement, the Ministry of Natural Resources assigned full responsibility for administering and disbursing assets of the Trust to an independent Board of Directors. The composition of this Board reflected a range of interests.
