March 8, 2019 S00 County Clerk County of Simcoe Administration BOX 400 CITY HALL P.O. BARRIE, ONTARIO 70 COLLIER STREET L4M 415 TEL. (705) 792-7900 FAX (705) 739-4265 [email protected] www.barrie.ca THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF BARRIE Mayor’s Office March 8, 2019 S00 County Clerk County of Simcoe Administration Centre 1110 Highway 26 Midhurst, Ontario L9X 1N6 Dear County Clerk: As you are no doubt aware, the opioid crisis has hit our City hard. Led by the Simcoe-Muskoka District Health Unit, a broad coalition of public health, law enforcement, social service, and other organizations have come together to combat the crisis within a plan called the Simcoe Muskoka Opioid Strategy (SMOS) focussed on five pillars: Prevention, Treatment, Enforcement, Harm Reduction, and Emergency Management. Although the SMOS is making strides, it is challenged by the need for more resources, specifically financial support and in some cases the need for qualified personnel. As such, and due to the ongoing severity of the crisis, at the Barrie City Council meeting of March 4, 2019, City Council passed the following Resolution concerning the ongoing opioid overdose crisis in Canada: 19-G-049 ONGOING OPIOID OVERDOSE CRISIS IN CANADA WHEREAS Barrie ranks third among large municipalities in Ontario for opioid overdose emergency department (ED) visit rates, and WHEREAS there were 81 opioid-related deaths in Simcoe Muskoka in 2017, with 36 of those deaths in Barrie, and WHEREAS there were an estimated 4000 opioid-related deaths across Canada in 2017, and WHEREAS the central north area of Barrie (which includes downtown) had 10 times the rate of opioid overdose ED visits in 2017 than the provincial average, and four times the overall Barrie average, and WHEREAS the Canadian drug and substances strategy and the Simcoe-Muskoka Opioid Strategy are based on the pillars of Prevention, Treatment, Harm Reduction, Enforcement, and Emergency Management. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: 1. THAT the City of Barrie calls on the Federal and Provincial Governments to declare a Public Health Emergency in relation to the ongoing Opioid Overdose Crisis and that funding be allocated to improve emergency management in the region. 2. THAT City staff be directed to work with local Members of Parliament and Members of Provincial Parliament to access funding opportunities to address the opioid crisis. 3. THAT City staff investigate the implications of having the Mayor declare a local emergency under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act due to the escalation of the opiold crisis and report back to General Committee in three weeks. 4. THAT the City of Barrie calls for Federal and Provincial funding to support, enhance, and expand evidence-based treatment and rehabilitation services, addiction prevention and education, and harm reduction measures. 5. THAT the City of Barrie calls for Federal and Provincial funding to address the root causes of addiction, including housing, poverty, unemployment, mental illness and trauma. 6. THAT the City of Barrie calls for Federal and Provincial funding to enforce laws surrounding illicit drug supply, production, and distribution. 7. THAT this resolution be distributed to: the leaders of all parties represented in the House of Commons and the Legislature; the Minister of Health; the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness; the Minister of Health and Long- Term Care; and the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services and that the Federal and Provincial Ministries of Health be requested to provide a response within three weeks. 8. THAT this resolution be distributed to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), the Large Urban Mayors Caucus of Ontario (LUMCO), the County of Simcoe, the Barrie Police Service, and the Ontario Provincial Police. (Item for Discussion 6.1, February 25, 2019) As this crisis continues to tragically take lives in our community, respectfully I would draw your attention to paragraph 7 of the motion which requests response a to this letter within three weeks. I would note with gratitude that our local Members of Parliament and Members of Provincial Parliament have offered to support funding requests, including using the resources of their offices to assist with information exchange or any other assistance which can expedite bringing more resources to combat opioid addiction in Barrie. look I forward to your reply and am at your disposal to discuss this letter and how our governments may work together to combat opioids in Barrie. Sincerely, Jeff Lehman Mayor 2.

  • Canada 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    CANADA 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution guarantees freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief, opinion, expression, and the right to equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination based on religion. The government does not require religious groups to register, but some registered groups may receive tax-exempt status. In November, the Quebec Court of Appeal reduced the sentence of a man to 25 years before eligibility for parole after he pled guilty in 2018 to six counts of first-degree murder for the 2017 killing of six worshippers at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec. In November and December, a Quebec court concurrently heard challenges by four groups of plaintiffs, including the National Council of Canadian Muslims, Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the English Montreal School Board, a Quebec teachers union, and individuals to strike down as unconstitutional a provincial law prohibiting certain categories of government employees from wearing religious symbols while exercising their official functions. The law remained in force through year’s end. Provincial governments imposed societal restrictions on assembly, including for all faith groups, to limit the transmission of COVID-19, but some religious communities said provincial orders and additional measures were discriminatory. Quebec authorities imposed a temporary mandatory COVID-19 quarantine on a Hasidic Jewish community in a suburb of Montreal that some members said was discriminatory because it applied only to Jews, although the religious community had initiated the quarantine voluntarily. Some members of Hutterite colonies in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta said they experienced societal discrimination outside their communities due to provincial governments publishing outbreaks of COVID-19 in Hutterite communities.
