CARRIED PAGE 3 OF 4 CATARAQUI SOURCE PROTECTION AUTHORITY MINUTES OCTOBER 25, 2017 - CRCA ADMINISTRATION OFFICE BOARDROOM 7. COMMITTEE REPORTS 7.1. Remarks from John Williamson, Cataraqui Source Protection Committee Chair (verbal) The Cataraqui Source Protection Committee Chair, John Williamson, provided an update regarding drinking water source protection activities. • A meeting of the 19 Source Protection Committee Chairs had been convened by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change earlier in October. • The due date for municipalities to spend their Source Protection Municipal Implementation Fund allocation from the Province is coming up in December 2017; Katrina Furlanetto, Coordinator, Source Protection is assisting Cataraqui area recipients in this regard. • The Ministry has requested that Source Protection Committee Chairs and members actively engage as ambassadors between the program and their sector, and has indicated that a communications plan may be appropriate to guide this work. • The Ministry is primarily focused on drinking water source protection for the municipal systems that serve cities and towns, as well as Northern Ontario. However, source protection is also needed for rural villages and rural facilities (e.g. nursing homes, schools) in the Cataraqui area, especially given the vulnerability of the groundwater. This could be accomplished via a streamlined, low-cost process, as well as collaboration between municipalities and others (e.g. universities) and pilot projects. Laura Turner arrived at this point. Resolution: CSPA-004-17 Moved by: Sandy Hay Seconded by: Al Hanes THAT the Cataraqui Source Protection Authority RECEIVE the verbal remarks from the Cataraqui Source Protection Committee Chair, Mr. John Williamson, as presented at the October 25, 2017 meeting.
