400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this the Stage 1archaeological assessment for the proposed Harvie Road/Big Bay Point Road/Highway 400 Interchange, Barrie is to identify archaeological potential for the location any Native and Euro-Canadian archaeological sites that may be impacted by design changes to a highway interchange and municipal road intersection. The study area is located at the southern end of the City of Barrie, Simcoe County and is part of an part of a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The Stage 1 study included a broad area from 200 metres west of a proposed extension of Bryne Drive to Bayview Drive and from 350 metres north of Harvie/ Big Bay Point Road to 400 metres south. The proposed improvements involve a realignment of Harvie Road and Big Bay Point Road and new Highway 400 ramps for both northbound and southbound traffic. Part of the project is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation and part is under the jurisdiction of the City of Barrie.The undisturbed lands along both the north and south sides of Harvie Road and Big Point Road should be subject to a Stage 2 archaeological assessment by a licensed archaeologist using the appropriate methods described in the SGCA 2011 prior to any construction impacts. The existing right-of-way of Harvie Road, Big Bay Road and Highway 400 is intensively and extensively disturbed and no further assessment is required. The area around the former Molson brewery and associated rail spur is intensively and extensively disturbed and no further assessment is required.

400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report discusses the rationale, methods and results of the Stage 1 archaeological assessment for the lands around Harvie Road/Big Bay Point Road/ Highway 400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County. The archaeological assessment is part of a Class EA for alternatives for a new highway interchange. The purpose of this study is to identify archaeological potential for the location any Native and Euro-Canadian archaeological sites that may be impacted. The study limits included a broad area of approximately 84 hectares. The archaeological assessment was conducted for Morrison Hershfield Limited on behalf of the Ministry of Transportation and the City of Barrie. All archaeological assessment activities were performed according to the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011). All work was done under the archaeological consulting license, P035, issued to Andrew Murray of A. M. Archaeological Associates. All records pertaining to this project will be curated at the offices of A. M. Archaeological Associates. The field visit was conducted on May 5, 2011 under clear to partly skies, and temperatures around 15 C. 2.1 Study Area 2.0 DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT The Stage 1 study included a broad area of approximately 84 hectares from 200 metres west of a proposed extension of Bryne Drive to Bayview Drive and from 350 metres north of Harvie/ Big Bay Point Road to 400 metres south. The study area encompasses parts of Lots 7 and 8, Concessions 12 and 13, Geographic Township of Innisfil (now City of Barrie) (Figure 1). The Harvie Road section runs westward from Highway 400 to the proposed extension of Bryne Drive and the Big Bay Point Road section runs eastward to Bayview Drive.
400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County 2 Figure 1: Location of the Harvie Road-Big Bay Point Road- Highway 400 study area (NTS map 31D05).
400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County 3 East of Highway 400/ Big Bay Point Road Much of the land along this road is vacant. Existing uses include International Water Supply on the north side of the road and the former Molson s Brewery on the south near the highway. Current zoning for the area is a combination of heavy industrial and restricted industrial. West of Highway 400/ Harvie Road The lands between Highway 400 and the Bryne Drive right-of-way along Harvie Road are primarily vacant. There is one resident west of Highway 400 on the north side of Harvie Road. Existing uses include a television transmission tower and the Harvie Road Reservoir. The study limits were extended northward along the west side of Highway 400 to include a possible southbound exit ramp. The area is designated primarily as general industrial with lands designated as environmental protection area associated with Whiskey Creek. Pond A (also known as Stolp Pond) was constructed in 1990 as an interim facility for the residential development west of Veteran s Drive and is located just west of the study limits and south of Harvie Road (AECOM Canada Ltd 2009). 2.2 Environmental Setting There are a number of environmental factors such as water sources, soil types, physiographic features, vegetation and lithic resources that will influence settlement and the archaeological potential of an area. These regional features would have influenced transportation routes, gathering places, food sources, climate (micro-environments), overall vegetation patterns, and soil formation. 2.2.1 Physiographic Features and Soils Land forms and soils can play a role in determining settlement patterns and human behaviour. In particular, elevated areas that are well-drained are preferred areas for settlement.
400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County 4 The study area is at an elevation between 260 and 300 metres in the till plain of the Peterborough Drumlin Field physiographic region (Chapman and Putnam 2007). This large rolling till plain stretches from Simcoe County eastward to Hastings County (Chapman and Putnam 1984). The height of land is 1.5 km south of the bluff that was once the shoreline of glacial Lake Algonquin. The soils of the study area are well drained Tioga Sandy Loam (Canada Department of Agriculture 1959). Tioga Sandy Loam is stone-free and gently to moderately sloping (Hoffman, Wicklund and Richards 1962). 2.2.2 Water Sources All of the study area is within the Whiskey Creek Watershed with the headwaters located between Highway 400 and Veteran s Drive. The creek flows from west to east for approximately 5250 metres prior to outletting into Kempenfelt Bay adjacent to Minet s Point Park. Additionally, the Lover s Creek Watershed is just south of the study area and the Hotchkiss Creek watershed is just to the north. 2.2.3 Vegetation The pre-agricultural vegetation would likely have been similar to that observed along the Allandale Lake Algonquin Bluff, a Life Science Area ANSI found 1.5 km to the west. The Natural Heritage Inventory Centre describes the vegetation as: Immature to semi-mature red oak - sugar maple forest with beech, white pine, trembling aspen and ironwood characterize the uplands. (MNR 2010). Pre-settlement vegetation on the Innisfil uplands consisted of sugar maple and beech with white pine, basswood, hemlock and yellow birch (Lennox et al. 1986:151-157). 2.2.4 Lithic Sources There are no known lithic sources directly on or near the study limits.
400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County 5 3.0 ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT A search of the archaeological sites database at the Ministry of Culture revealed 12 registered sites within two kilometres of the study area but there are no registered sites within the study limits (Table 1). The sites range from a nineteenth century Euro-Canadian cabin site to an isolated Kirk Corner notch projectile point that dates to the Early Archaic period (7800-6900 B.C.). Most of the sites relate to the extensive occupation of the region by Late Woodland Iroquoian people (1280-1650 A.D.). The closest of these sites is the Little 2 site, BcGw-28 that is within 300 metres of the study area. This village site was observed in a cultivated field by Paul Lennox in 1984 and Gary Warrick in 1985. It is described as a 0.5 hectare, pre-contact Iroquoian village. The Molson site (BcGw-27) was first subject to methodical archaeological excavation by Paul Lennox in 1983 on behalf of the Ministry of Transportation prior to a proposed interchange at Mapleview Drive and Highway 400 (Lennox 1984). The investigation of both the Little 2 site and the Molson site were part of the Archaeology of the Barrie Area project conducted in the 1980 s which encompassed portions of the study area lands (Lennox 1984; Warrick 1988). This project attempted to relocate archaeological sites originally documented by Andrew Hunter in the 1880 s and 1890 s. Agricultural fields were surveyed at intervals between 10 and 25 metres and artifacts from archaeological sites were mapped and collected either by grouping artifacts from within a five-by-five metre square or individual point location (Warrick 1988).

400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County 6 Three previous Stage 1 archaeological assessments have been conducted partially within the study area. A Stage 1 archaeological assessment of Highway 400 from one kilometre south of Highway 89, northerly to the Penetanguishene Road (Highway 93) at Highway 11 concluded that there was archaeological potential in the undisturbed lands beyond right-of-way (ASI 2001). A Class EA has been completed for the widening and extension of Bryne Drive between Harvie Road and Essa Road that included, as Appendix B, a Stage 1 archaeological assessment by AMICK Consultants Limited. The report found high potential for archaeological remains along the potential new roadway which forms the western border of this study area and a Stage 2 archaeological assessment was recommended (City of Barrie 2005; AMICK 2005). A Stage 1 archaeological assessment was conducted of the Barrie Service centre on the northbound Highway 400 at the north side of the study area by in 2010 (Murray 2010). The assessment determined that the existing service centre plaza was disturbed but the open area to the south and the picnic grounds to the north had archaeological potential and Stage 2 was recommended for these areas. 4.0 HISTORIC CONTEXT The original settlement of the Barrie area began with a group of buildings associated with the portage from Kempenfelt Bay to Penetanguishene known as the Nine Mile Portage. The town was surveyed in 1832 and named after Commodore Barrie, the senior officer of the Royal Navy in Upper and Lower Canada (Rayburn 1997). This settlement was approximately four kilometres north of the study area along the north side of Kempenfelt Bay. The Township of Innisfil was surveyed in 1820 and comprised an area of 68,653 acres, which at that time included Allandale, Tollendal, Painswick, Minets Point, and Holly (Innisfil Town Council 1951). The importance of Allandale, 2.7 km to the north, grew when the Ontario, Simcoe and Huron Railway (later the Northern Railway) station opened in 1853 (Innisfil Town Council 1951). No owner is specified on the 1877 Innisfil Township map for Lot 7, Concession 12 or Lot 7 & 8, Concession 13, but James Leslie is shown with a house on Lot 8, Concession 12 (Figure 14). However, this house was along Mapleview Drive over 700 metres south of the study area. The early development associated with Allandale was focussed along Essa Road and Ardagh
400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County 7 Road and the study area has remained primarily rural (Belden 1881) (Figure 14). No buildings are shown near the study area. Eventually, 500 acres of Innisfil Township including Allandale was annexed by Barrie in 1891(Innisfil Town Council 1951). The area south of Big Bay Point Road and east of Highway 400 is the site of the former Molson Brewery. The brewery was originally the Formosa Spring Brewery built in 1972 and acquired by Molson in 1974 (Sneath 2001). The brewery eventually closed in 2000 and has since been demolished. There is a disused rail spur crossing over Big Bay Point Road to the former brewery from a line that runs parallel to the north side of Big Bay Point Road. 5.0 METHODOLOGY 5.1 Field Methods conducted a field visit for the Stage 1 archaeological assessment for the study area on May 5, 2011. The field visit consisted of a walking survey and visual inspection of the study area in order to assess the terrain and archaeological potential factors identified during the background research. The field visit documented extensive and intensive disturbance and steeply sloped areas, which had no or low archaeological potential. Current conditions for the study area were photographed and the locations were logged by GPS (Figures 2 to 15). 5.2 GIS Methods The existing design plans were supplemented with information from the Ministry of Natural Resources 1:10,000 scale Ontario Base Map downloaded from the Geography Network Canada and 1:50,000 scale WMS-Toporama data from Natural Resources Canada. The historic township maps from various historic county atlases were georeferenced and relevant features were digitized. The archaeological site data from the Ministry of Tourism and Culture was plotted using supplied coordinates. The 300 metre buffers around these sites are not shown on the Figure 15 mapping to preserve the site location.
400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County 8 6.0 ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS The entire study had archaeological potential prior to development due to proximity to water and registered archaeological sites. Although some areas are more steeply sloped, they may have potential for middens relating to Late Woodland occupations of the area that may not have been discovered during Lennox and Warrick s survey of the area in the 1980 s. A Stage 2 assessment is recommended for six areas east of Highway 400 and two areas to the west (Figure 15). The eastern areas include a grassed parcel south of Big Bay Point Road at Bayview Drive, the lands around Whiskey creek, a small grassed area between industrial buildings and two bushlots on either side of Fairview Drive (Figures 2, 3 and 5). On the west side of Highway 400, the area north of Harvie Road is no longer the agricultural field described by Warrick in 1988. It has now grown over and has moderately large trees (Figure 12). The area south of Harvie Road is also grown over but with smaller trees (Figure 13). There is also some indications of disturbance through this area including sharp cuts along some of the pathways, landscaping that may be related to the construction of Pond A and a long berm running parallel to the highway for several hundred metres. However, the extent of these disturbances is unknown and possibly localized. Warrick and Lennox noted that the nearby Molson site (BcGw-27) was also partially disturbed but remnants of the posts, features, and living floor deposits of several longhouses were still visible. The extent of these disturbances should be confirmed by Stage 2 testing should impacts be proposed to this area. Late twentieth century development has removed archaeological potential from a substantial area around the former Molson brewery and the associated rail spur (Figures 4, 6, 7 and 8). The small grassed areas near Big Bay Point Road within the former brewery have been extensively landscaped. A minimum of 10 metres along the north and south sides of Harvie Road and Big Bay Point Road have been extensively and intensively disturbed by past construction including water, gas and telephone services (Figures 5, 10 and 11). The disturbances of both roads grows significantly wider close to Highway 400 (Figures 8 and 9).
400, City of Barrie, Simcoe County 9 7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS On the basis of the above information, the following recommendations can be made: 1. The undisturbed lands along both the north and south sides of Harvie Road and Big Point Road should be subject to a Stage 2 archaeological assessment by a licensed archaeologist using the appropriate methods described in the SGCA 2011 prior to any construction impacts. 2. The existing right-of-way of Harvie Road, Big Bay Road and Highway 400 is intensively and extensively disturbed and no further assessment is required. 3. The area around the former Molson brewery and associated rail spur is intensively and extensively disturbed and no further assessment is required. 8.0 ADVICE ON COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION 1. Advice on compliance with legislation is not part of the archaeological record. However, for the benefit of the proponent and approval authority in the land use planning and development process, the report must include the following standard statements: a. This report is submitted to the Minister of Culture 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 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 and Culture, 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. b. 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 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 field in the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports referred to in Section 65.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act. c. Should previously undocumented archaeological resources be discovered, they may be a new 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. d. 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) requires that any person discovering human remains must notify the police or coroner and the Registrar of Cemeteries at the Ministry of Consumer Services.
