	Environment Canada: Remembering Hurricane Hazel - Impacts at Holland Marsh
		The Holland Marsh flood was characterized by Charlie Davis, a local resident: “It wasn’t like down by the Humber where there was a big rush of water.
		The highlands surrounding the Marsh could not absorb all this rain, and since the land slopes down towards the Marsh the drainage canal was filling up fast, the water pressing against the dykes.
		Some marsh property owners were frustrated with plans to deepen the canals and widen the dykes because silt that was dredged from the canals was dumped on properties and used as fill for the dykes that were widened and built up.

	BRADFORD-WEST GWILLIMBURY
		The construction of the railway caused Holland Landing to decay and Bradford to rise; and McMaster's removal was for the purpose of catching the western trade.

		Holland River took its name from a former surveyor-general of Canada - Major S. Holland - who, in 1791, made a trip by way of Toronto Bay, Lake Simcoe, and the Balsam Lake chain, for the purpose of exploring the country.

		The marsh mitigation plan the corps is proposing calls for it to create 59 acres of low, or broadly beneficial, marsh on Jekyll Island to make up for 18 acres of low marsh that will be destroyed along the East River in Brunswick by a new turning basin for ships.
		But James Holland, a leader of the environmental group Altamaha Riverkeeper, contends that the corps plan is misleading because even though it will convert high marsh to low marsh, it will be low marsh with high salinity.
		Holland suggested that the corps buy land in a high quality marine nursery area up the Turtle River closer to the marsh being lost in the East River.

		The west side of the marsh received up to10 feet of the deluge because the dikes broke in several places, and Highway 400 acted as a dike separating the east and west sides.
