v Project Personnel Project Manager Principal Archaeologist, Field Director, And Report Preparation Artifact Analysis Historic Research Field Assistants Scarlett Janusas (P027) Chelsea Robert (R403) Gina Martin Matthew Annis Kelly Bell Michelle Potts Chelsea Robert Acknowledgments Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education extend our thanks to Ms. Grace Pasceri, SkyPower Limited, for providing data, maps and arranging permission to access the study area. Thanks are also extended to Mr. Robert von Bitter, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, for providing registered site data.

vi Executive Summary The proponent, SkyPower Limited., retained the services of Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education (SJAHCE) to conduct a Stage 1 and 2 archaeological resource assessment on property proposed for a solar farm. Permission to access the property and to conduct all activities associated with the Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment, including recovery of artifacts, was provided through SkyPower Limited. This property is located on part of Lots 8 and 9, Concession 5, geographic township of Georgina, Town of Georgina, in the Regional Municipality of York. The property is located north of Old Homestead Road, approximately a kilometre east of the village of Vachell. The study property is approximately 40 hectares in size. The site is made up of agricultural fields, wetlands, and woodlots. The archaeological assessment was triggered by the Green Energy Act. Only a portion of the property was subject to a Stage 2 assessment by SJAHCE (~23.82 hectares). Stage 1 was conducted for the entire property. Poor field conditions halted the Stage 2 assessment. The proponent then retained another consultant, The Archaeologists Inc., to complete the fieldwork (P120-131-2012) for the remaining approximate 16.18 hectares. Consultation with Mr. Andy Schoenhofer of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport was conducted to ensure that this portion of the assessment report would be accepted for licence P027. Background research indicated that there are no registered archaeological sites within one kilometer of the study area. There are no previous archaeological assessments within 50 m of the study area. The study area lies in the Black River watershed. The Zephyr-Egypt Wetland Complex is located to the east of the study area. There are no watercourses, wetlands or other sources of water on the property. A small man made pond abuts the property at the south end. An unnamed creek runs south of the property approximately 120 m distant. This latter contributes to the archaeological potential of the study area. There is a prehistoric shoreline that cuts across the property (east-west) towards the northern third of the study area. This contributes to the archaeological potential of the study area. There are no placques or monuments located in the vicinity of the study area. Historic records indicate early occupation of the site and abutting area by three landowners. The 1860 Tremaine indicate three owners of the lots: J. Yates, Jason Cockburn and John Cockburn. 1878 mapping shows two owners, and two historic farm/homesteads located on the property the two correspond with two historic scatters located during the archaeological assessment. A third farmstead

vii is depicted on the 1878 map, but this farmstead is excluded from the project area. The majority of the soil on the property consists of Otonabee loam with a smooth to gently sloping topography. Additional soil types include Emily, an imperfectly drained loam, with few stones and a gently sloping topography; Sargent sandy loam, which has good drainage, a gently slope and is moderately stony and Granby, a sandy loam with poor drainage, and consists of gentle sloping stone free soil. The property exhibits high archaeological potential based on the presence of a nearby creek, a prehistoric shoreline, and the two historic homesteads which date to at least 1878. The adjacent roadway (Old Homestead Road) is considered an early historic roadway, which is another archaeological indicator. There is very little development disturbance of the property, with the exception of a small borrow pit located at the northern end of the property. The Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment of the study property was conducted under license P027 (Scarlett Janusas, PIF #P027-147-2011) during November of 2011. The Stage 2 archaeological assessment was conducted on November 15th, 16 th, and 26 th, 2011 under good to excellent assessment conditions with 90 to 100% open ground cover for ploughed areas. Based upon the background research of past and conditions, and the partial Stage 2 archaeological assessment, the following is recommended: Stage 2 archaeological assessment is recommended for those areas not assessed by SJAHCE. These areas are illustrated in Map 17a and b. The Stage 2 archaeological assessment must be conducted under the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consulting Archaeologists and include, but are not limited by, the following standards: Survey the entire remaining property (refer to Map 17a and b for geographic details) including lands immediately adjacent to built structures (both intact and ruins). Survey the property when weather and lighting conditions permit good visibility of land features. Using the Global Position System according the requirements set out in section 5 of the Standards and Guidelines, record the locations of a) all diagnostic artifacts b) sufficient artifacts to provide and estimate of the limits of the archaeological site, and c) all fixed reference landmarks. Map all field activities. Photo-document examples of all field conditions encountered.

viii Do not use heavy machinery. All aspects related to conducting a Stage 2 assessment on ploughed lands pertains to this recommendation. Based on Section 2.2 of the Standards and Guidelines, a Stage 3 archaeological assessment is required. Stage 3 assessment is required for both BbGt-29 and BbGt-30, as per the Standards and Guidelines. Recommend that Stage 3 archaeological assessment of the site be conducted as per the S & G s (MTC 2011b) for conducting Stage 3 assessments. These standards require additional historic research; controlled surface collection, and the following with respect to the number and placement of one metre test units: Place and excavate 1 m square test units in a 5 m grid across the site. Place and excavate additional test units, amounting to 20% of the grid unit total, focusing on areas of interest within the site extent. (MTC 2011a:51). It is anticipated that a total of 281 1 metre test units will be required to complete the Stage 3 assessment of the site, BbGt-29. The number of units proposed is under discussion with the MTCS, and are subject to change. Place and excavate 1 m square test units in a 5 m grid across the site. Place and excavate additional test units, amounting to 20% of the grid unit total, focusing on areas of interest within the site extent. (MTC 2011a:51). It is anticipated that a total of 450 1 metre test units will be required to complete the Stage 3 assessment of the site, BbGt-30. The number of units proposed is under discussion with the MTCS, and are subject to change. With respect to the isolated findspot, no further assessment is required. This archaeological assessment has been conducted under the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (Ministry of Tourism and Culture, 2011).

This property is located on part of lot 8 and 9, Concession 5, geographic township of Georgina, now the Town of Georgina, in the Regional Municipality of York, formerly County of York (Figures 1-5). The study property lies north of Old Homestead Road, approximately a kilometre east of Park Road. The study property is approximately 40 hectares in size. The archaeological assessment was undertaken as part of Ontario Regulation 359/09 within the Renewable Energy Approvals (REA) process under part V.0.1 of the Environmental Protection Energy Act. The Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment of the study property was conducted under license P027, (Scarlett Janusas, PIF #P027-147-2011) during November 2011. Only a portion of the property was subject to a Stage 2 assessment by SJAHCE (~23.82 hectares). Stage 1 was conducted for the entire property. Poor field conditions halted the Stage 2 assessment. The proponent then retained another consultant, The Archaeologists Inc., to complete the fieldwork (P120-131-2012) for the remaining approximate 16.18 hectares. Consultation with Mr. Andy Schoenhofer of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport was conducted to ensure that this portion of the assessment report would be accepted for licence P027. The proponent provided permission for SJAHCE and its agents to enter the property and conduct all activities as required under the 2011 Standards and

2 Guidelines to conduct a Stage 1 and 2 archaeological resource assessment, including recovery of artifacts. This archaeological assessment has been conducted under the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consulting Archaeologists (Ministry of Tourism and Culture, 2011). 1.2 Historical Context 1.2.1 Current Environment The study property is currently being used as agricultural land, pasture, and scrub areas/woodlot. The property is bounded by fencing. There are no existing structures located on the property. The entire property was ploughed for assessment purposes, including the former pasture, scrub/woodlot areas. The latter was ploughed in 2012. 1.2.2 Prehistory of Study Area Following the retreat of the Wisconsin Glacier, the first inhabitants of Southern Ontario arrived around 11, 000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, The Paleo-Indians had a nomadic lifestyle, living in small bands and following herds of caribou across the tundra-like landscape. Their population was small and they did not stay in the same place for long, making evidence of their campsites scarce. However, some Paleo-Indian campsites have been found along shorelines of glacial waters. The study property is surrounded by prehistoric shorelines and drumlins from the extinct lake Algonquin. The Archaic Period is divided into three stages. The people of the early and middle Archaic periods (7000BC-2500BC) lived a similar lifestyle to those of the Paleo-Indian Period. The entirety of the Archaic period is marked by a changing environment as temperatures started to rise and a boreal forest spread across the province, driving caribou north with it. The hunters and gatherers exploited deer and rabbit as well as a carrying out a more intense utilization of fish. Stone technology became more advanced and their toolkit more diverse, marking the introduction of groundstone tools and the bow and arrow. The Late Archaic (2500BC-1000BC) sees the beginnings of extensive trade networks and engagement in burial ceremonies, as the populations of the bands begin to rise and territories begin to shrink. The Woodland Period is split into four major divisions: Early, Middle, Transitional and Late. The people of the Early and Middle Woodland were hunters and gatherers and probably maintained a lifestyle similar to their ancestors. They had small special purpose camps that exploited seasonal resources. The Early period (1000-400BC) also sees the beginning of ceramic manufacturing, and the

3 elaboration of burial practices. The Middle Woodland sees the appearance of distinct cultures separated geographically: the Saugeen and Western Basin. During the Transitional Period (900BC-600AD), the regionalization that had begun earlier continues and distinct cultures continue to become culturally bounded. The Princess Point culture, one of the first to practice agriculture gives rise to the later Ontario Iroquoian Tradition and the Riviere au Vase gives rise to the Western Basin Algonkian Traditions. This period also sees an increase in the trading of precious and ornate objects used in burial practices and a more sedentary lifestyle based around horticultural. During the Late Woodland or Iroquoian Period (900AD-1650AD) the shift to agriculture that began in the Transitional Woodland comes to fruition. Cornfields surround sedentary villages, surrounded by protective wooden walls called palisades. The regionalization begun in the Archaic now consists of an advanced political system of tribes and nations that form alliances and go to war with each other. Village size continues to grow, and bands become more and more distinct in the archaeological and historic record. The study property lies within the area that was occupied by the Huron and proto- Huron culture. The Huron were an Iroquoian speaking group in southern Ontario that had culturally evolved away from the Neutral-Erie during the Uren Stage around 1350 (Trigger 1987). They were matrilineal, with clan affiliation coming through the mother. Villages consisted of longhouses, surrounded by a wooden palisade and agricultural fields. They had an intricate political system, and distinct cultural practices and artifacts. They held a festival called the Feast of the Dead, which occurred whenever the village moved due to soil depletion. Games and feasting occurred over a period of days that centered around the reburial of the dead in a communal pit called an ossuary. Over the Iroquoian period villages became larger and tightly clustered and extensive cultural and geographical divisions occurring between the New York Iroquois, the Neutral- Erie and the Huron. Villages also became situated in more isolated and defensible positions away from main water-ways, (Trigger 1987) though different nations maintained extensive trade networks with each other. 1.2.3 Native Historic Period Native life changed dramatically with the arrival of the European explorers. The politics of the European continent followed the explorers and traders over to the New World. The competition for the fur trade between the French and the Dutch caused fur trade wars between the Iroquois and the Huron. The arrival of the European explorers, settlers and missionaries also brought disease, which wiped out large populations of native peoples. These epidemics in concert with the Indian fur wars resulting in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape and shrinking populations of these native groups.

4 The Huron Confederacy was the first great Iroquoian federation in the region and had extensive trade links. These trade links were what first garnered the attention of the French. This alliance remained between the French and the Huron even after the Huron s dispersal by the Iroquois in 1649. After this the Huron became known as the Wyandot, a cornerstone of the Algonkian tribes. The Huron had relatively good relations with their neighbours compared to the Iroquois, making them a lucrative trading partner for the French. The area of the St. Lawrence was a disputed territory between different tribes, creating a war zone that effectively cutting off the interior to trade for European traders. In 1609 after hearing the complaints of the Huron, Champlain sided with the Huron, and drove the Mohawk out of the St. Lawrence Valley opening up a direct trading route to the interior for the French. The Huron had access to good quality fur, both in their lands, and as middlemen to the northern Algonkian tribes. Though the Mohawk lost the St. Lawrence they had a monopoly on trade with the Dutch, though did not have the furs to sustain it. They needed access to hunt in Huron lands, but the Huron with the aid of the French were able to keep the Iroquois out of their lands. European politics were being the deciding factor in the dispute between the Huron and the Iroquois. In 1627 the English pulled the French out of New France and the Iroquois gained an advantage in the arms race between the two cultures, continuing to trade with the Dutch. With the return of the French, new supplies of ammunition and guns were traded to the Huron, creating an arms race between the Dutch and the French. The missionary efforts begun in 1615 also caused issues among the Huron, dividing communities into Christian and traditional factions, and controlling firearm privileges based on those who accepted baptism. Between 1635 and 1640 a series of devastating epidemics swept through Huron villages, killing over half the Huron, and many of their experienced leaders. The Iroquois continued on the offensive, first attacking the Huron s allies, meaning to isolate them. Violence continued to escalate with the arrival of the English, who attempted to break the Dutch trade monopoly by offering firearms. The Iroquois were now better armed than the French, and attacked. Over the next few years, beginning in 1642 the Iroquois attacked the French and the Huron, bring the French fur trade to a halt. While diplomacy was attempted over a period of two years, total war eventually occurred. In the winter of 1648 the Iroquois wiped out two villages, killing and capturing hundreds of Huron, causing the Huron resistance to collapse. The Huron Confederacy dispersed, with some groups becoming adopted by other tribes in the areas, and some fleeing into Quebec and Wisconsin. The Iroquois continued to adopt and attack the fleeing tribes, while forming a fragile peace with the French, which was eventually broken. (Sultzman 2000).

5 1.2.4 Historic Period The study property comprises part lot 8 & the west ½ of Lot 9, Concession 5, Township of Georgina, County of York. The County of York is bounded on the east by the County of Ontario, on the west by the County of Peel, on the north by Lake Simcoe and the County of the same name, and on the south by Lake Ontario (Campbell 1866). Before the county of York became the County of York the area traversed by a number of French explorers and traders. The shores of Lake Ontario and a number of river systems running through the county were trade routes that allowed access to trading posts further west. One of these routes, which ran up the Humber River provided direct access to Huron country, and was guarded by the French to protect trade with the interior from the English. Fort Toronto was built, but after New France came under the rule of the English in 1791, it was abandoned. Upper Canada s first Lieutenant Governor J.G. Simcoe made the place of this abandoned fort his capital for the new province. He named it York, after Frederick, the Duke of York. York was originally one of a number of counties belonging to the Nassau District, and later part of the Home District. It was not till 1866 that it took on its shape. The county was settled slowly at first because of the millions of acres (tens of thousands of hectares) had been granted to the United Empire Loyalists and the Clergy Reserve (Adam & Mulvany 1885). Smith s 1846 Canadian Gazetteer (1846:63) describes Georgina Township as such, Much of the land in this township is hilly and broken; some of it, however, is of excellent quality, and is heavily timbered. The banks of the lake in Georgina are generally rather high. A stream called Black River, runs through the east of the township, from south to north The Township of Georgina is bounded on the north by Lake Simcoe, to the west by west by North Gwillembury, to the south by Uxbridge and to the east by Brock. It was settled much later then the other townships in the area. Mr. Duncan McDonald laid it out in 1817 and the first patent was issued in 1819 to Capt. William Bourchier. The township compromises 34,996 acres (~14,162 hectares) and was named Georgina in honour of His Majesty George III. Captain Bourchier s younger brother James O Brien, who with his wife settled on Lot 1, Concession 7, founded day Sutton. The township was united with North Gwillembury until 1826, and again in 1870 for administrative purposes. There was no public transit till 1826, and the first school was built in Sutton in 1840 (Sullivan 1992) The northern part of the County of York lies in the Williams Treaty lands of 1923. These lands cover a large section of southern Ontario, totally 12,944,400 acres (~5,238,513 hectares). There were two distinct groups of native bands involved, including the Mississauga Indians of Rice Lake, Mud Lake, Scugog Lake and Alderville; and the Chippewa Indians of Christian Island, Georgiana Island and Rama. The lands in question were already being used by the government for

6 settlement or resource exploitation, but were part of a land claims issue that had been smouldering since 1787. This treaty was different in that unlike previous treaties in Ontario it did not retain hunting and fishing rights for the bands involved, nor guarantee possession of reserves. The Williams Treaties land overlaps with previous treaties and this has caused issues because they followed more traditional exchanges, which included hunting and fishing rights as well as reserves. The study property lies in the second parcel of lands sold, north of the first parcel and southwest of the third parcel.. Tremaine s map of the County of York, shows that both lots were occupied by 1860. Lot 8 was divided between three men, and, the study property lies on the properties occupied by J. Yates on the south and Thomas A. Odlam to the north. The west half of Lot 9 was occupied by John Cockburn and James Cockburn. In 1878 John Yates still occupies the south half of Lot 8, and there is a structure located towards the south side. In the 1871 census he is listed as Irish, born in Ontario and is 35 years of age. He belongs to the Church of England, and is a blacksmith. There is no one listed as occupying the south half of lot 8 in 1878. The west half of lot 9 is occupied by James Leith, a 50 year old Scottish farmer belonging to the Canadian Presbyterian Church. On his property are 2 structures. The first is located on the east half towards the south side of the property and the other on the west, towards the centre of the property. Map 6 illustrates the 1860 Tremaine map and Map 7 illustrates the 1878 Illustrated Historical Atlas map section. 1.2.5 Plaques or Monuments There are no placques or monuments located in the vicinity of the study area. 1.2.6 Determination of Archaeological Potential There are a number of variables that are evaluated when determining archaeological potential. These include: presence of previously identified archaeological sites, water sources (primary, secondary, features indicating past water sources, accessible or inaccessible shoreline), elevated topography, pockets of sandy soil in heavy soil or rocky ground, distinctive land formations, resource areas (food or medicinal plants, scarce raw materials, early Euro- Canadian industry), non-aboriginal settlement (monuments, cemeteries), areas of early Euro-Canadian settlement; early historic transportation routes; listed or designated heritage property;

7 and properties with archaeological potential as identified by local histories or informants. 1.2.7 Rationale for Fieldwork Strategy The study area exhibits archaeological potential based on the presence of a creek to the south of the property, a prehistoric shoreline crossing (east-west) the northern third of the property; archival records of two historic farm/homesteads on the property, and the relatively undeveloped nature of the property. In addition, the Town of Georgina is in the process of developing an archaeological master plan, and Map 8 illustrates an extract of that plan for the area. All areas were subject to Stage 2 archaeological assessment. 1.3 Archaeological Context 1.3.1 Previously Known Archaeological Resources/Assessments There are no registered archaeological sites within one kilometer of the study area (email July 2011 Robert von Bitter, Site Data Coordinator, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport 2011b). There are no archaeological assessments within 50 m of the study area. 1.3.2 Current Environment Existing Features The existing features include wire and post fencing surrounding the property, and hedgerows. There are no extant structures located on the subject lands. There is an agricultural roadway which runs approximatey north-south through the fields and provides access to the back fields. It is gated at the northern end of the agricultural fields. 1.3.3 Bedrock and Topography The study area lies on Trenton Black River bedrock. A limestone and minor dolostone formed during the Middle Ordovician. The study property lies within the physiographic region of the Simcoe Lowlands, specifically the Lake Simcoe Basin (Chapman & Putnam 1973). The Simcoe Lowlands lie between Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay and falls into two major divisions separated by the Simcoe Uplands: the Nottawasaga basin to the west and the Simcoe Basin to the east. Both of these basins were flooded by glacial Lake Algonquin and are bordered by shorecliffs, beaches, and bouldery terraces, and are floored by sand, silt and clay. The Lake Simcoe Basin to the south of Lake Simcoe is covered in a low, swampy, sandy plain. This area has two major streams as well as their tributaries, which include Zephyr Creek. These creeks are long swampy valleys a mile or so wide which may be considered as southern

8 extensions of the lowland. Breaking up this plain are several areas of drumlinzed till, which were the islands in Lake Algonquin (Chapman & Putnam 1973). The topography of the area is fairly level, with gentle slopes and a few raised areas of prehistoric shorelines and drumlins. 1.3.4 Prehistoric Shorelines The study area lies in a physiographic region that has a number of glacial Lake Algonquian formed drumlins (former islands) and prehistoric shores. A prehistoric shoreline runs just north of the middle of the property, east to west (Google Earth OGS). The topography rises to the south of this shoreline, and the majority of the property was probably above the surface of the waters of Lake Algonquin. The Algonquian water plane lies approximately 240m (790 ft.) above sea level (Goldthwait 1910) in this area, and the altitude of the property lies above is some areas, and below in others. Map 9 illustrates the approximate location of the prehistoric shoreline. 1.3.5 Soils The majority of the soil on the property consists of Otonabee (Ol) loam, which has good drainage, few stones and a smooth to gently sloping topography. Other soils on the property are Emily (El) an imperfectly drained loam, with few stones and a gently sloping topography; Sargent (Sg) sandy loam, which has good drainage, a gently slope and is moderately stony and Granby (Gsl) a sandy loam with poor drainage, and consists of gentle sloping stone free soil (Hoffman and Richards 1955: Soil Survey Map No. 19). 1.3.6 Drainage The study area lies in the Black River watershed. An unnamed creek lies within 120 m of the southern boundary of the study area. There are no other watersources located on the property. 1.3.7 Vegetation The study property lies in the region of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence forest. This is a transitional zone between the predominantly deciduous forest to the south and the boreal forest to the north. It contains a mixture of landscapes, and plant and animal species. In this region one will find coniferous trees such as eastern white pine, red pine, eastern hemlock and white cedar mixed with deciduous species, such as yellow birch, sugar and red maples, basswood and red oak. Other species found are white and black spruce, jack pine, aspen and white birch (MNR 2009).

9 There are some scrub areas on the property, which were probably former agricultural fields that have been left to regenerate naturally. These areas are located at the northern end of the study area (Field G). These areas were ploughed in 2012 for assessment purposes. 1.3.8 Dates of Fieldwork Field assessment was conducted on November 15 th, 16 th and 26 th, 2011. November 15 th was sunny with a high of 11 C, November 16 th was overcast with a high of 8 c, and November 26 th was overcast with a high of 13 C. As per the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports Standards and Guidelines (2011a: Section 2.1, Standard 3) the field work was conducted under the appropriate lighting and weather conditions. 1.3.9 Unusual Physical Features Affecting Fieldwork There are no unusual physical features that affected the fieldwork.

10 2.0 FIELD METHODOLOGY 2.1 Stage 1 (Background Research) As part of the background research, an examination of the following was conducted: the Site Registration Database (maintained by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport) was examined for the presence of known archaeological sites in the project area and within a radius of one kilometer of the project area by contacting the data coordinator of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport; reports of previous archaeological fieldwork within a radius of 50 m around the property; topographic maps at 1:10 000 (recent and historical) or the most detailed map available; historic settlement maps such as the historic atlases; available archaeological management/master plans or archaeological potential mapping; commemorative plaques or monuments; and, any other avenues that assist in determining archaeological potential were examined. No property inspection was undertaken for Stage 1 archaeological assessment as the Stage 1 was conducted concurrently with the Stage 2 assessment. 2.2 Stage 2 (Field Assessment) The following table identifies the standard within the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports Standards and Guidelines document (2011a) and how they were met with respect to Stage 2 Field Assessment. Only a portion of the property was subject to a Stage 2 assessment by SJAHCE (~23.82 hectares). Stage 1 was conducted for the entire property. Poor field conditions halted the Stage 2 assessment. The proponent then retained another consultant, The Archaeologists Inc., to complete the fieldwork (P120-131-2012) for the remaining approximate 16.18 hectares. Consultation with Mr. Andy Schoenhofer of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport was conducted to ensure that this portion of the assessment report would be accepted for licence P027. The following checklist applies only to those areas subject to Stage 2 archaeological assessment by SJAHCE.

11 Standard Section Property Survey 2.1, Standard 1 2.1, Standard 2a 2.1, Standard 3 2.1, Standard 4 Standard Survey the entire property, including lands immediately adjacent to built structures (both intact and ruins), excepting those areas identified by Section 2.1, Standard 2 Survey is not required where: a. lands are evaluated as having no or low potential based on the Stage 2 identification of physical features of no or low archaeological potential, including but not limited to: permanently wet areas, exposed bedrock, steep slopes (greater than 20 ) except in locations likely to contain pictographs or petroglyphs b. lands are evaluated as having no or low potential based on the Stage 2 identification of extensive and deep land alteration that has severely damaged the integrity of archaeological resources c. lands have been recommended to not require Stage 2 assessment by a Stage 1 report, where the ministry has accepted the Stage 1 report into the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports d) lands are designated for forest management activity without potential for impacts to archaeological sites, as determined through the Stage 1 forest management plans process (see section 1.4.3) e) lands are formally prohibited from alteration such as areas in an environmental easement, restrictive setback, or prohibitive zoning, where the constraint prohibits any form of soil disturbance. (Open space and other designations where allowable uses include land alterations must be surveyed.) f) it has been confirmed that the lands are being transferred to a public land-holding body, e.g., municipality, conservation authority, provincial agency. (This does not apply to lands for which a future transfer is contemplated but not yet confirmed.) Survey the property when weather and lighting conditions permit good visibility of land features Using the Global Positioning System (GPS) according to the requirements set out in section 5, record the locations of the following: all diagnostic artifacts, sufficient artifacts to provide an estimate of the limits of the archaeological site, and all fixed reference landmarks Action Entire property surveyed. Entire property surveyed.

Mapping must be accurate to 5 m or to the best scale available. Use any mapping system that achieves this accuracy. Photo-document examples of all field conditions encountered Do not use heavy machinery (e.g., gas-powered augers, backhoes) to remove soil, except when removing sterile or recent fill covering areas where it has been determined that there is the potential for deeply buried or sealed archaeological sites Actively or recently cultivated agricultural land must be subject to pedestrian survey. Land to be surveyed must be recently ploughed. Use of chisel ploughs is not acceptable. In heavy clay soils ensure furrows are disked after ploughing to break them up further. Land to be surveyed must be weathered by one heavy rainfall or several light rains to improve the visibility of archaeological resources. Provide direction to the contractor undertaking the ploughing to plough deep enough to provide total topsoil exposure, but not deeper than previous ploughing. At least 80% of the ploughed ground surface must be visible. If surface visibility is below 80% (e.g., due to crop stubble, weeds, young crop growth), ensure the land is re-ploughed and weathered before surveying. Space survey transects at maximum intervals of 5 m When archaeological resources are found, decrease survey transects to 1 m intervals over a minimum of a 20 m radius around the find to determine whether it is an isolated find or part of a larger scatter. Continue working outward at this interval until the full extent of the surface scatter has been defined. Collect all formal artifact types and diagnostic categories. For 19th century archaeological sites, also collect all refined ceramic sherds (or, for larger sites collect a sufficient sample to form the basis for accurate dating). Based on professional judgment, strike a balance between gathering enough artifacts to document the archaeological site and leaving enough in place to relocate the site if it is necessary to conduct Action stakes or development markers on study area lands predevelopment stage. Done No heavy machinery was used during the Stage 2 assessment Done All lands subject to survey that could be ploughed, were ploughed prior to assessment. No chisel ploughs were used.

The presence of such obstacles must be documented in sufficient detail to demonstrate that ploughing or cultivation is not viable. Test pits were spaced at maximum intervals of 5 m (400 test pits per hectare) in areas less than 300 m from any feature of archaeological potential. Space test pits at maximum intervals of 10 m (100 test pits per hectare) in areas more than 300 m from any feature of archaeological potential Test pit to within 1 m of built structures (both intact and ruins), or until test pits show evidence of recent ground disturbance Ensure that test pits are at least 30 cm in diameter. Excavate each test pit, by hand, into the first 5 cm of subsoil and examine the pit for stratigraphy, cultural features, or evidence of fill. Screen soil through mesh no greater than 6 mm.

Map 10 identifies the fields and the following describes each field assessed. Fields B, C and G did not form part of this Stage 2 assessment by SJAHCE, but are being addressed under PIF#120-131-2012, The Archaeologists Inc. Field A is an area that was originally wholly included in the original project layout. The northern portion of the field still remains in the project area. Regardless of its current status in the project layout, assessment of the area was conducted and is reported on herein as part of the license obligations. Field A was ploughed and lies adjacent to Old Homestead Road. The topography of this field is generally level, although there is a rise in elevation in the southeast corner of the field. This field was subject to pedestrian transect survey conducted in 5 metre intervals. An historic scatter was located in this area (contaminated by

14 roadside garbage mixed in with the historic material as evidenced by black garbage bags and modern refuse). The scatter was subject to intensified assessment conducted in 1 metre intervals. Materials were bagged, tagged, and recorded using GPS with an accuracy of +/- 2 metres. Photographs 1 and 2 illustrate Field A conditions. Observation conditions were good with open ground cover of between 90 and 100%. Field B is a field that was very wet and could not be surveyed in the fall/winter of 2011 and early spring of 2012. It is level in topography and low lying. Photograph 2 shows the field B beyond Field A. This was not assessed by SJAHCE. Field C lies to the north of an existing barn and was ploughed for assessment purposes. The elevation rises to the north in a gentle, undulating manner. It was too wet to be assessed during the fall/winter of 2011 and early spring of 2012. This was not assessed by SJAHCE. Field D (Photograph 3) lies north of Field C and continues to rise in elevation from south to north, leveling at the northern end of the field. This field was ploughed for assessment purposes and observations conditions were between 90 100% open ground. A single, isolated prehistoric findspot was located on the south facing slope of Field D. Intensified survey was conducted as per the Standards in 1 m intervals around the findspot. No additional materials were recovered in association with the findspot. Field E (Photographs 4 and 5) is a ploughed field with a rolling hill topography, rising in elevation from south to north. Observations conditions were good with open ground cover of between 90 100%. Field F (Photograph 6) is a ploughed field with a rolling hill topography, rising is elevation from south to north, and leveling at the northern end of the field. Observation conditions were good with open ground cover of between 90 100%. Field G (Photograph 7) is the scrub/pasture area. This area was ploughed in the spring of 2012. SJAHCE did not conduct a Stage 2 assessment of this area due to poor field conditions. Field H (Photograph 8) is a ploughed field with an elevation that rises from south to north. Observation conditions were good with open ground cover of between 90 and 100%. Field I (Photograph 9) is a ploughed field with an elevation that rises from south to north. Observation conditions were good with open ground cover of between 90 and 100%. An historic scatter was located in Field I and subject to

15 intensification at 1 metre intervals as per the Standards. Materials were bagged, tagged, and recorded using GPS with an accuracy of +/- 2 metres. There is an agricultural roadway (Photograph 10) which passes through the fields on an approximate north-south orientation. There was one area of development disturbance located at the northern end of the property. This was a small borrow pit (Photograph 11), and it was visually assessed to determine if there were any artifacts in the exposed walls. None were noted. This area requires Stage 2 archaeological assessment. Of the areas assessed by SJAHCE n(~23.82 hectares), 100% of the property was subject to pedestrian transect methodology conducted in 5 metre intervals. Approximately 1.56 hectares (~6.5%) of the assessed areas was further subject to intensified pedestrian survey conducted in one metre intervals. Map 12 illustrates the assessment methodology for areas of Stage 2 archaeological assessment conducted by SJAHCE.

See Illustration section (MTCS is provided this information as supplementary documentation) 3.1 Summary of Finds Two historic scatters were located during the Stage 2 archaeological assessment. The first site, BbGt-29, is a smaller historic scatter which is located some distance from Old Homestead Road, and off to the east side of the agricultural roadway. A check of the adjacent agricultural roadway did not reveal any foundations or other cultural features. The site measures approximately 41 by 29 metres in artifact distribution spread, but the main concentration appears to be 28 x 13 metres in size. The site is located at an elevation of 243 m, and is on generally level topography. This site also corresponds with the historic farmstead depicted on the 1878 historic atlas map (Map 6). Photograph 9 illustrates the site area. Photographs 13 and 14 illustrate reative samples of the site. BbGt-

19 29, based on the Stage 2 collected assemblage, has a date range of 1820 to 1870, early to mid/late 19 th century. The second site, BbGt-30, is located in Field A adjacent to Old Homestead Road. The general elevation range for the site is from 243 to 246 m asl, with the major elevation occurring at east end of the field/site. The site has been contaminated with recent roadside dumping, as evidenced by decomposing black garbage bags and modern refuse. The site measures approximately 101 m by 80 metres in artifact distribution spread, but the main concentration appears to be only 55 by 55 m in size. There were no foundations or other cultural features noted during the Stage 2 archaeological assessment. This site is located near the historically recorded (1878 historic atlas, Map 6) historic farmstead. It is probable that this site relates to the historic farmstead (no longer extant). Photograph 1 illustrates the site facing east. Photographs 15-19 illustrate reative samples of the site. BbGt-30, based on the Stage 2 collected assemblage, has a date range of 1840 1900. This suggests a long term occupation of the site area. There was also one isolated findspot located: a prehistoric flake. Despite intensified survey around the isolated findspot, no additional materials were located in association with it. Photograph 3 illustrates the area of the isolated findspot. Photograph 20 illustrates the prehistoric findspot. The primary flake is manufactured from Onondaga chert and is 24.1 mm in length, 18.2 mm in width, and 2.5 mm in thickness. No cultural affiliation or specific temporal period can be assigned to this flake.

22 4.0 ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS The following illustrates the standards and actions regarding analysis and conclusions. Standard Description Action 7.8.3 (Analysis and Conclusions) Standard 1 Summarize all findings from the Stage 2 survey, or state that no archaeological sites were identified. 7.8., Standard 2 For each archaeological site, provide the following analysis and conclusions: 7.8., Standard 2a 7.8., Standard 2b A preliminary determination, to the degree possible, of the age and cultural affiliation of any archaeological sites identified A comparison against the criteria in 2 Stage 2: Property Assessment to determine whether further assessment is necessary. Two sites, registered as BbGt-29 and BbGt-30. One isolated findspot, a prehistoric flake, was also located. BbGt-29 had a total of 78 artifacts from 69 findspots. There is an absence of faunal and structural material, and the site assemblage is ceramics and glass. The ceramic assemblage suggests a date of between 1820 to 1870 for this site. It is a Euro-Canadian historic scatter, probably linked with the original farmstead in this area. The exact nature of this site is unknown, but it may be a dump site, rather than the house/farmstead site. BbGt-30 had a total of 365 artifacts from 132 findspots. The ceramic The site is made up primarily of ceramics and glass, and there is only one machine cut nail. There are no other structural artifacts or faunal material. The ceramic assemblage suggests a date of between 1840 to 1900 for this site. It is a Euro-Canadian historic scatter, widespread, and may linked with the original historic farm/homestead in this area shown on the 1878 historic atlas. The exact nature of this site is unknown, especially given the widespread nature of the distribution pattern of artifact. Isolated Findspot prehistoric, further refined cultural affiliation not possible. Stage 3 assessment is required for both BbGt-29 and BbGt-30, as per the Standards and Guidelines. Recommend that Stage 3 archaeological assessment of the site be conducted as per the S & G s (MTC 2011b) for conducting Stage 3

23 Standard Description Action assessments. These standards require additional historic research; controlled surface collection and the following with respect to the number and placement of one metre test units. Place and excavate 1 m square test units in a 5 m grid across the site. Place and excavate additional test units, amounting to 20% of the grid unit total, focusing on areas of interest within the site extent. (MTC 2011a:51). It is anticipated that a total of 281 1 metre test units will be required to complete the Stage 3 assessment of the site, BbGt-29. Recommend that Stage 3 archaeological assessment of the site be conducted as per the S & G s (MTC 2011b) for conducting Stage 3 assessments. These standards require additional historic research; controlled surface collection and the following with respect to the number and placement of one metre test units. Place and excavate 1 m square test units in a 5 m grid across the site. Place and excavate additional test units, amounting to 20% of the grid unit total, focusing on areas of interest within the site extent. (MTC 2011a:51). It is anticipated that a total of 450 1 metre test units will be required to complete the Stage 3 assessment of the site, BbGt-30. The number of units proposed is under discussion with the MTCS, and are subject to change. Isolated Findspot no further assessment is required. 7.8., Standard 2c A preliminary determination regarding whether any archaeological sites identified in Stage 2 show evidence of a high level of cultural heritage value or interest and will thus require Stage 4 mitigation. A preliminary analysis of the material suggests that Stage 4 archaeological assessment may be necessary for both BbGt-29 and BbGt-30.

24 All areas of the property were subject to Stage 2 archaeological assessment. All areas were considered to exhibit archaeological potential. BbGt-29 had a total of 78 artifacts from 69 findspots. There is an absence of faunal and structural material, and the site assemblage is ceramics and glass. The ceramic assemblage suggests a date of 1830 to 1870 for this site. The site is located on level topography and adjacent to the agricultural roadway. This location is in keeping with the 1878 historical atlas depiction of a farmstead in the same locale (Map 6). The site is a Euro-Canadian historic scatter, probably linked with the original farmstead in this area. The exact nature of this site is unknown, but it may be a dump site, rather than the house/farmstead site. BbGt-30 had a total of 365 artifacts from 132 findspots. The site is made up primarily of ceramics and glass, and there is only one machine cut nail. There are no other structural artifacts or faunal material. The ceramic assemblage suggests a date of between 1840 to 1900 for this site. It is a Euro-Canadian historic scatter, widespread, and may linked with the original historic farm/homestead in this area shown on the 1878 historic atlas (Map 6). The exact nature of this site is unknown, especially given the widespread nature of the distribution pattern of artifacts. Adjacent roadside dumping of waste in black plastic garbage bags was noted on the site area, but these materials, very obviously related to recent dumping episodes, were not recovered and do not form part of the assemblage. The isolated findspot is prehistoric in nature, but it is not a diagnostic artifact and no further cultural/temporal information can be derived from this findspot.

25 5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Only a portion of the property was subject to a Stage 2 assessment by SJAHCE (~23.82 hectares). Stage 1 was conducted for the entire property. Poor field conditions halted the Stage 2 assessment. The proponent then retained another consultant, The Archaeologists Inc., to complete the fieldwork (P120-131-2012) for the remaining approximate 16.18 hectares. Consultation with Mr. Andy Schoenhofer of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport was conducted to ensure that this portion of the assessment report would be accepted for licence P027. Standard Description Compliance 7.8.4 (General Recommendations) For each archaeological site, provide a statement of the following: 7.8.4, Standard 1a Borden No. or other identifying BbGt-29, BbGt-30 number 7.8.4, Standard 1b Whether or not it is of further cultural heritage or interest.

28 6.0 ADVICE ON COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION According to the 2011 Standards and Guidelines (Section 7.5.9) the following must be stated within this report: This report is submitted to the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport as a condition of licensing in accordance with Part VI of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c 0.18. The report is reviewed to ensure that it complies with the standards and guidelines that are issued by the Minister, and that the archaeological fieldwork and report recommendations ensure the conservation, protection and preservation of the cultural heritage of Ontario. When all matters relating to archaeological sites within the project area of a development proposal have been addressed to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, a letter will be issued by the ministry stating that there are no further concerns with regard to alterations to archaeological sites by the proposed development. It is an offence under Sections 48 and 69 of the Ontario Heritage Act for any party other than a licensed archaeologist to make any alteration to a known archaeological site or to remove any artifact or other physical evidence of past human use or activity from the site, until such time as a licensed archaeologist has completed archaeological fieldwork on the site, submitted a report to the Minister stating that the site has no further cultural heritage value or interest, and the report has been filed in the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports referred to in Section 65.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Should previously undocumented archaeological resources be discovered, they may be an archaeological site and therefore subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proponent or person discovering the archaeological resources must cease alteration of the site immediately and engage a licensed consultant archaeologist to carry out archaeological fieldwork, in compliance with sec. 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Cemeteries Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. C.4 and the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002, S.O. 2002, c.33 (when proclaimed in force) require that any person discovering human remains must notify the police or coroner and the Registrar of Cemeteries at the Ministry of Consumer Services. Archaeological sites recommended for further archaeological fieldwork or protection remain subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act and may not be altered, or have artifacts removed from them, except by a person holding an archaeological license.

Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment for SkyPower GoldLight LP Solar Project, Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 5, Town of Georgina, RM of York, Ontario EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Archaeologists Inc. was contracted by SkyPower to conduct a Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment for the Goldlight LP Solar Project, Part of Lots 8 and 9, Concessions 5, in the Town of Georgina, Regional Municipality of York, Ontario. The proponent is seeking a Renewable energy Approval according to Ontario Regulation 359/09 issued under the Environmental Protection act, Sections 20, 21 and 22. The assessment was done in advance of a solar farm project. A Stage 1 background study of the subject property was conducted to provide information about the property s geography, history, previous archaeological fieldwork and current land condition in order to evaluate and document in detail the property s archaeological potential and to recommend appropriate strategies for Stage 2 survey. A Stage 2 property assessment was conducted to document all archaeological resources on the property, to determine whether the property contains archaeological resources requiring further assessment, and to recommend next steps. The characteristics of the property dictated that the Stage 2 survey be conducted by a pedestrian and test pit survey. The Stage 1 background study found that the subject property exhibits potential for the recovery of archaeological resources of cultural heritage value and concluded that the property requires a Stage 2 assessment. The Stage 2 property assessment, which consisted of a systematic pedestrian and test pit survey, did not result in the identification of archaeological resources. The Stage 1 background study concluded that the property exhibits archaeological potential. The Stage 2 property assessment did not identify any archaeological resources within the subject property. The report recommends that no further archaeological assessment of the subject property is required. i

Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment for SkyPower GoldLight LP Solar Project, Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 5, Town of Georgina, RM of York, Ontario INTRODUCTION The Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990 c. O.18, requires anyone wishing to carry out archaeological fieldwork in Ontario to have a license from the Ministry of Tourism and Culture (MTC). All licensees are to file a report with the MTC containing details of the fieldwork that has been done for each project. Following standards and guidelines set out by the MTC is a condition of a licence to conduct archaeological fieldwork in Ontario. The Archaeologists Inc. confirms that this report meets ministry report requirements as set out in the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists, and is filed in fulfillment of the terms and conditions an archaeological license. 1.0 PROJECT CONTEXT (Section 7.5.5) This section of the report will provide the context for the archaeological fieldwork, including the development, historical and archaeological context. 1.1 Development Context (Section 7.5.6, Standards 1-3) Section 7.5.6, Standard 1 The Archaeologists Inc. was contracted to complete a Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment for the GoldLight LP Solar Project, located within Part of Lots 8 and 9, Concession 5, in the Town of Georgina, Regional Municipality of York, Ontario. The subject property consists of two separate parcels of land that comprise part of a larger subject area that had undergone a partial assessment in 2011 by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological Heritage Consulting and Education (SJAHCE) under PIF P027-147-2011. Both parcels are located north of Old Homestead Road. The two parcels comprise an area of approximately 16.5 hectares in size. GoldLight LP proposes to develop a solar facility with a maximum name plate capacity of approximately 10 MW, located near Pefferlaw, in the Town of Georgina, Ontario. The renewable energy facility will be known as GoldLight LP and will be rated as a Class 3 solar facility. The characteristics of a Class 3 Solar Facility, as described in the regulation, are as follows: The location of solar photovoltaic collector panels and devices are at any location other than mounted on the roof or wall of a building. The name plate capacity of the solar facility is greater than 12 kilowatts. GoldLight LP has received a contract from the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) for the sale of electricity generated by this renewable facility through the Province s Feed-in- Tariff (FIT) program (enabled by the Green Energy and Green Economy Act). Approximately 30,000 to 100,000 PV panels of between 60-300 watts each will be installed for GoldLight LP. The panels will be aligned in rows approximately 4-10 metres apart and will be mounted on racking systems will be attached to a support structure. 1

Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment for SkyPower GoldLight LP Solar Project, Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 5, Town of Georgina, RM of York, Ontario The project is seeking a Renewable Energy Approval according to Ontario Regulation 359/09 issued under the Environmental Protection Act, Sections 20, 21 and 22. The project has been awarded Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) contract number F-01558-SPV-130-505. The portion of the project area subject to archaeological assessment by The Archaeologists Inc. is approximately 16.5 ha in size. The archaeological assessment was conducted in advance of the development as a condition of the above O. Reg. Section 7.5.6, Standard 2 There is no additional development-related information relevant to understanding the choice of fieldwork strategy or recommendations made in the report. Section 7.5.6, Standard 3 Permission to access the study area to conduct all required archaeological fieldwork activities, including the recovery of artifacts was given by the landowner and their reative. 1.2 Historical Context (Section 7.5.7, Standards 1-2) Section 7.5.7, Standard 1 In advance of the Stage 2 assessment, a Stage 1 background study of the subject property was conducted in order to document the property archaeological and land use history and condition. Several sources were referenced to determine if features or characteristics indicating archaeological potential for pre-contact and post-contact resources exist. Characteristics indicating archaeological potential include the near-by presence of previously identified archaeological sites, primary and secondary water sources, features indicating past water sources, accessible or inaccessible shoreline, pockets of welldrained sandy soil, distinctive land formations that might have been special or spiritual places, such as waterfalls, rock outcrops, caverns, mounds, and promontories and their bases, resource areas, (including food or medicinal plants, scarce raw materials, early Euro-Canadian industry), areas of early Euro-Canadian settlement, early historical transportation routes, property listed on a municipal register or designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or that is a federal, provincial or municipal historic landmark or site, and property that local histories or informants have identified with possible archaeological sites, historical events, activities, or occupations. Archaeological potential can be determined not to be for either the entire property or a part of it when the area under consideration has been subject to extensive and deep land alterations that have severely damaged the integrity of any archaeological resources. This is commonly referred to as disturbed or disturbance, and may include: quarrying, major landscaping involving grading below topsoil, building footprints, and sewage and infrastructure development. Archaeological potential is not removed where there is documented potential for deeply buried intact archaeological resources beneath land alterations, or where it cannot be clearly demonstrated through background research and property inspection that there has been complete and intensive disturbance of an area. 2

Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment for SkyPower GoldLight LP Solar Project, Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 5, Town of Georgina, RM of York, Ontario Where complete disturbance cannot be demonstrated in Stage 1, it will be necessary to undertake Stage 2 assessment. The background study determined that the following features or characteristics indicate archaeological potential for the subject property. The subject property is within 300 metres of a primary and secondary body of water. The subject property is within the Black River watershed. There is an unnamed tributary located approximately 125 metres southeast of the subject property. The presence of these would have been attractive areas for hunting or settlement for both precontact populations and European settlers. There are two known archaeological sites, BbGt-29 and BbGt-30, within 300 metres of the subject property. The subject property contains a past water source, i.e. an ancient shoreline associated with Lake Algonquian lies within the northern portion of the subject property. The subject property lies within the Lake Simcoe Basin in the Simcoe Lowlands physiographic region and is characterized as an area of low wet sand plains. The subject property has topographic features (e.g. knolls, drumlins) exhibiting potential. Soils consist of Otonabee loam, Emily loam, Granby loam, and Sargent sandy loam which exhibit variable drainage. The presence of sandy soils within the subject property adjacent to wet lowland areas would have attracted both precontact and historic settlement. The 1878 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of York depicts a structure within the subject property. The subject property is within 100 metres of an historic transportation routes, i.e. Old Homestead Road. Archaeological sites BbGt-29 and BbGt-30 were discovered in 2011 by Scarlett Janusas (SJAHCE 2012) during a Stage 2 pedestrian survey of lands immediately adjacent to the current subject property. Site BbGt-29 is a Euro-Canadian historic farmstead, and consists of a scatter of approximately 78 early to late 19 th century artifacts. It was interpreted to likely re the original farmstead in the area (SJAHCE 2012). Site BbGt-30 is a Euro-Canadian historic farmstead, and consists of a wide scatter of 365 early to late 19 th century artifacts. The nature of the site is unknown and may re the original historic farm/homestead depicted on the 1878 Atlas (SJAHCE 2012:19). The study area is located within part of Lots 8 and 9, Concession 5, in the former historical Township of Georgina, County of York. According to the 1878 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of York, Lot 9 was owned by a Jas. Leith and the portions of Lot 8 within the subject property were owned by a Joseph Cockburn and Jonathan Yates. The Atlas depicts a single structure within the subject property. It should be noted, however, that not all features of interest were mapped systematically in the Ontario series of historical atlases, given that they were financed by subscription, and subscribers were given preference with regard to the level of detail provided on the maps. Moreover, not every feature of interest would have been within the scope of the atlases. 3

Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment for SkyPower GoldLight LP Solar Project, Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 5, Town of Georgina, RM of York, Ontario A detailed land use history of the Lots 8 & 9, Concession 5, is provided in the archaeological assessment report entitled Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment, GoldLight Solar Farm, prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education (SJAHCE 2012). Her report (SJAHCE 2012:6) states the following: Tremaine s map of the County of York, shows that both lots were occupied by 1860. Lot 8 was divided between three men, and, the study property lies on the properties occupied by J. Yates on the south and Thomas A. Odlam to the north. The west half of Lot 9 was occupied by John Cockburn and James Cockburn. In 1878 John Yates still occupies the south half of Lot 8, and there is a structure located towards the south side. In the 1871 census he is listed as Irish, born in Ontario and is 35 years of age. He belongs to the Church of England, and is a blacksmith. There is no one listed as occupying the south half of lot 8 in 1878. The west half of lot 9 is occupied by James Leith, a 50 year old Scottish farmer belonging to the Canadian Presbyterian Church. On his property are 2 structures. The first is located on the east half towards the south side of the property and the other on the west, towards the centre of the property. In summary, the Stage 1 background study indicated the potential for the recovery of precontact Indigenous and post-contact Euro-Canadian archaeological resources within the subject property. As it cannot be clearly demonstrated through the background study that there has been complete and intensive disturbance of the area, archaeological potential is not removed. There are areas within the subject property that have the potential for the recovery of archaeological resources. Section 7.5.7, Standard 2 The lands are agricultural and the Stage 2 property assessment of the subject property will employ the strategy of pedestrian and test pit survey, following the standards listed in Section 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 of the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists. To our knowledge there is a single report, prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education (PIF P027-147-2011) in 2012, containing relevant background information and recommendations related to this development project. The report indicates that the lands subject to archaeological assessment immediately adjacent to those completed and reported on in this report, were ploughable lands and recommends that: Stage 2 archaeological assessment is recommended for those areas not assessed by SJAHCE. 1.3 Archaeological Context (Section 7.5.8, Standards 1-7) Section 7.5.8, Standard 1 In order that an inventory of archaeological resources could be compiled for the study area, three sources of information were consulted: the site forms for registered sites 4

Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment for SkyPower GoldLight LP Solar Project, Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 5, Town of Georgina, RM of York, Ontario housed at the Ministry of Tourism and Culture; published and unpublished documentary sources; and the files of The Archaeologists Inc. In Ontario, information concerning archaeological sites is stored in the Ontario Archaeological Sites Database (O.A.S.D.), an inventory of the documented archaeological record in Ontario. Information on the known archaeological sites in the vicinity of the study area was obtained form the Ministry of Tourism and Culture site database. There are no known archaeological sites located within the study area limits and no sites were registered within a one kilometre radius of the subject property. Section 7.5.8, Standard 2 The study land is currently being used as agricultural land, pasture, and has existing scrub and woodlot areas. The subject property assessed by The Archaeologists Inc. consists of ploughed agricultural lands, hedgerows, a channelized ditch and a laneway or agricultural roadway (SJAHCE 2012). The property consists of undulating terrain. The northern portion of the property was formerly glacial strandline and consists of a very rocky-tilled substrate. The study area lies within the Lake Simcoe Basin of the Simcoe Lowlands physiographic region (Chapman and Putnam 1984:177-182). The lowlands bordering Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe may be termed the Simcoe lowlands. Together they cover an area of about 1,100 square miles. They fall naturally into two major divisions separated by the uplands of Simcoe County. To the west are the plains draining into Nottawasaga Bay mostly by way of the Nottawasaga River. This area is called the Nottawasaga basin. To the east is the lowland surrounding Lake Simcoe, referred to as the Lake Simcoe basin. These two basins are connected at Barrie by a flat-floored valley and by similar valleys among the upland plateaux farther north. Both the lowlands and transverse valleys were flooded by Lake Algonquin and are bordered by shorecliffs, beaches, and bouldery terraces. Thus they are floored by sand, silt, and clay. The study area is on Trenton-Black River bedrock which is a limestone and dolostone formation. There is an unnamed creek to the southeast of the subject property. A glacial Lake Algonquian shoreline bisects the northern portion of the property. The soils are characterized by mainly well drained Otonabee loam. Also within the property are Emily, Sargent and Granby loams. The latter two are sandy soils with good drainage (Hoffman and Richards 1955). Section 7.5.8, Standard 3 The Stage 2 archaeological fieldwork of the subject property was undertaken April 24 and 25, 2012. 5

Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment for SkyPower GoldLight LP Solar Project, Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 5, Town of Georgina, RM of York, Ontario Section 7.5.8, Standard 4 Previous archaeological fieldwork was conducted adjacent to the current subject property. A Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment was conducted in 2011 immediately southeast of the current subject property by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education (SJAHCE 2012). The fieldwork was conducted in 2011 on a portion of the subject property measuring approximately 23.8 ha. Fieldwork involved a pedestrian survey of the lands. The fieldwork resulted in the identification of two historic archaeological sites, BbGt-29 and BbGt-30. An isolated flake was also identified. Site BbGt-29 is a Euro-Canadian historic farmstead, and consists of a scatter of approximately 78 early to late 19 th century artifacts. It was interpreted to likely re the original farmstead in the area (SJAHCE 2012). Site BbGt-30 is a Euro-Canadian historic farmstead, and consists of a wide scatter of 365 early to late 19 th century artifacts. The nature of the site is unknown and may re the original historic farm/homestead depicted on the 1878 Atlas (SJAHCE 2012:19). The report recommends that Sites BbGt-20 and BbGt-30 be subject to a Stage 3 site-specific assessment and that the isolated findspot is of no further archaeological concern. With the exception of this work, The Archaeologists Inc. is unaware of any previous archaeological fieldwork carried out immediately adjacent to the project area. Section 7.5.8, Standard 5 We are unaware of previous findings and recommendations relevant to the current stage of work, with the exception of the recommendations made by Scarlett Janusas in her Stage 1 and 2 archaeological assessment report which are discussed above. Section 7.5.8, Standard 6 There are no unusual physical features that may have affected fieldwork strategy decisions or the identification of artifacts or cultural features. Section 7.5.8, Standard 7 There is no additional archaeological information that may be relevant to understanding the choice of fieldwork techniques or the recommendations of this report. 6

Stage 1 and 2 Archaeological Assessment for SkyPower GoldLight LP Solar Project, Part of Lots 8 & 9, Concession 5, Town of Georgina, RM of York, Ontario 2.0 FIELD METHODS (Section 7.8.1, Standards 1-3) This section of the report addresses Section 7.8.1 of the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists. It does not address Section 7.7.2 because no property inspection was done as a separate Stage 1. Section 7.8.1, Standard 1 All of the subject property was assessed and surveyed. Section 7.8.1, Standard 2 As relevant, we provide detailed and explicit descriptions addressing Standards 2a and 2b. Section 7.8.1, Standard 2a - The general standards for property survey under Section 2.1 of the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists were addressed as follows: Section 2.1, S1 All of those portions of the property exhibiting archaeological potential were surveyed including lands immediately adjacent to built structures, when. Section 2.1, S2a There are no lands identified as no or low potential due to physical features such as permanently wet areas, within our subject property, with the exception of a channelized ditch and its associated low and wet area. Section 2.1, S2b There are no areas of no or low potential due to extensive and deep land alterations within our subject property, with the exception of the channelized ditch. Section 2.1, S2c (lands recommended not to require Stage 2 assessment by a previous Stage 1 report where the ministry has accepted that Stage 1 into the register) - n/a Section 2.1, S2d (lands designated for forest management activity w/o potential for impacts to archaeological sites, as determined through Stage 1 forest management plans process) - n/a Section 2.1, S2e (lands formally prohibited from alterations) - n/a Section 2.1, S2f ( lands confirmed to be transferred to a public land holding body, etc) - n/a Section 2.1, S3 - The Stage 2 survey was conducted when weather and lighting conditions permitted excellent visibility of features. Section 2.1, S4 - No GPS recordings were taken as no artifacts were found during the Stage 2 assessment. There were also no fixed landmarks. Section 2.1, S5 - All field activities were mapped in reference to survey stakes and development markers as appropriate. See report section 9.0 Maps. Section 2.1, S6 - See report section 8.0 Images for photo documentation of examples of field conditions encountered. 7
