The Oak Ridges Moraine

is a landform unique to southern Ontario. One of Ontario's largest moraines, the Oak Ridges Moraine extends 160 kilometres from the Niagara Escarpment in the west to the Trent River system in the east, and is on average 13 kilometres wide. One-hundred-and-fifty metres deep, the moraine stands out as a distinct landscape and is the "rain barrel of southern Ontario".

MTM is pleased to announce that our policy monitoring manual is now available. The Moraine Watch Manual is a how-to guide for community members to monitor land use planning activity and the performance of their municipal government on moraine-related planning.

About STORM

Save The Oak Ridges Moraine (STORM) Coalition is focused on protecting the ecological integrity of the Oak Ridges Moraine. Since 1989, STORM has been working at the local and regional levels to ensure that municipalities make good planning decisions that respect the environmental significance of the moraine and that take into account its ecological and hydrological functions.

Monitoring the Moraine

is a collaborative project between STORM Coalition (Save the Oak Ridges Moraine), Citizens’ Environment Watch, and Centre for Community Mapping, and is designed to engage and sustain community volunteers in environmental and policy monitoring across the moraine within an overall Oak Ridges Moraine monitoring framework.
