CARRIED 5. Delegations/Presentations 5.1 Kyle Johnston, Officer Cadet, Brockville Rifles Primary Reserve Infantry Unit, Brockville - New Attractions and Recruiting Plan Officer Cadet Johnston noted the Brockville Rifles is a Primary Reserve Infantry Unit in the Canadian Armed Forces. In addition to his role as an Infantry Officer during training, he is also the Unit’s Attraction Officer and works alongside the Unit’s Recruiting Officer to raise the profile of the Unit with the ultimate goal of increasing recruiting numbers. Officer Cadet Johnston explained Reserve Units across the country, including Brockville, have seen a decline in recruiting numbers particularly since the end of Canada’s participation in the war in Afghanistan. He has been tasked with designing and undertaking a comprehensive Unit Attraction Plan. 2 Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes March 3, 2020 Officer Cadet Johnston noted there is a lack of understanding of what members of the Canadian Armed Forces and Reservists do. He noted Reserve Units augment the strength of regular Force numbers in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. He explained Reserve Units cover the full range of skill sets including, but are not limited to, supply, finance, logistics, electronic warfare, and intelligence and occupy positions such as the Infantry. He noted Reservists undertake the same training as the regular Force, following which the members are required to train at their home units part time and have the opportunity to pursue full time positions within the Armed Forces, including deployments overseas. Officer Cadet Johnston stated the Brockville Rifles have a long history of service abroad and members take part in domestic operations including disaster relief efforts, such as the flooding in eastern Ontario in the past few years. He noted despite all of this, the public is often unaware of opportunities to serve. He noted the Attraction Plan is designed to change this, with the first phase consultation and drafting, which will last until the end of March. During the consultation phase, he will be speaking with key leaders and influencers within the community to get feedback and make connections within the communities. They will also identify, create, and plan for opportunities and events within their area of responsibility. The events will highlight the work the infantry does and partner with organizations who may produce the type of recruits they are looking for. The organizations may include private businesses, fire departments, and the paramedic service. Officer Cadet Johnston noted the Unit currently sits at 50% strength and as a result there are plenty of jobs available. He stressed they are open for business and are hiring. The ongoing conversation they wish to have with community leaders is how to best get that message out to the community. He explained typically, their recruiting profile has attracted younger soldiers, however; they are now seeing people in the 30 plus range. In addition to high school students, they are seeking recruits of varying backgrounds, education, ages, and skill sets. They are primarily looking for infantry soldiers and for officer candidates with a university degree, but there are positions available in administration, including human resources and financial services. At a minimum, they are looking for Canadian citizens ages 16 to 53 with a certain number of high school credits. Officer Cadet Johnston concluded that as soldiers progress through their careers, there are opportunities for leadership, career training, and full time employment. Citizen soldiers who work in the Brockville Rifles work and live in the community. 3 Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes March 3, 2020 They learn the values that define the Canadian Armed Forces; those values are integrity, loyalty, and courage. Officer Cadet Johnston thanked the Committee for their time, noting he looks forward to how they might work together to fill the ranks of the Brockville Rifles with citizens from their respective communities. Mr. Struthers provided some history on the Brockville Rifles, noting a gentleman in his community, Victor Sutherland, knows a great deal about the history of the Rifles and could help with speaking and recruiting engagements. Mr. Struthers also suggested legions would be a good point of contact for recruitment. Mr. Hoogenboom found the delegation to be an informative and suggested sending this information out to the local municipalities, who may in turn put it on their agendas and share it with the public. Warden Sayeau noted when he was in high school, it was mandatory to be a Cadet and he presently has a son serving in the navy. He is a booster for the Cadet movement at the high school in Prescott, asked if they go to high schools to talk to the students, and if there is a way this Committee could help with that. Officer Cadet Johnston stated the Recruiting Officer goes into the high schools and encourages enrollment; that will continue to be a portion of their recruiting profile. He noted any contacts the Committee members have would also be welcome. He noted part of the challenge in the past with those types of new recruits is the high turn over of recruits to the regular Force, which is a great thing for the Canadian Armed Forces as a whole, but a challenge with retention of the soldiers and officers. That is part of the reason they are trying to broaden their horizon to the 30 plus age group. Mr. Haley asked what the number is regarding the Brockville Rifles being at 50% capacity as his Council has mentioned the use of the Brockville Rifles as assistance with sand bagging during flooding. Officer Cadet Johnston noted he could not speak to the exact number, but he can get back to Mr. Haley. Assisting with flooding and disaster relief is part of the training in order to deploy the Rifles domestically. The organization of that would fall to the Department of National Defence and local law enforcement agencies. He concluded they have been deployed in the past and are ready to do so again. Ms. Smith-Gatcke thanked him for his presentation. Officer Cadet Johnston left the meeting at 9:21 a.m. 4 Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes March 3, 2020 5.2 JoAnn Bell, Cycling Without Age, Brockville - Requesting a Donation Towards the Purchase of a Trishaw in the Community, Specifically for Seniors with Mobility Issues Ms. Bell introduced Dianne Dillon, also of Cycling Without Age. Ms. Bell reported Cycling Without Age, Brockville is an innovative program that helps seniors and those less able to stay active in their community. The program lets them get out in the fresh air, enjoy their scenic community, and experience life beyond their residence or care centre. The program, which began in 2012, has expanded to 42 countries with thousands of volunteers and thousands of trishaws. Ms. Bell shared a video with the Committee which showed trishaws in use in and around Brockville. She noted when people can no longer get out and participate in outdoor activities it can lead to isolation, a serious threat to health and well- being. Ms. Bell stated isolation can lead to depression and cognitive decline. Community and Primary Health Care (CPHC) was the recipient of Cycling Without Age’s first project funded by in-kind and monetary donations. Ms. Bell stated the next project is to raise funds to provide rides at no cost to seniors and people with mobility issues. She noted the volunteer pilots of the trishaws provided over 200 rides in 2019 with the oldest passenger bring 101 and the youngest just eight. She noted 100% of donations go to the programs. Ms. Bell stated they are asking the Counties to donate to the next project to ensure people at Maple View Lodge and St. Lawrence Lodge may be included in the program. The total cost of the project is in excess of $10,000. Any donations over $1,000 are recognized on the bike. Ms. Bell concluded she is honoured to have played a role in the growth of this program in Canada and thanked the Committee for the opportunity to speak to them.

  • The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-39
    THE POLICY OF NEGLECT: THE CANADIAN MILITIA IN THE INTERWAR YEARS, 1919-39 ___________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Britton Wade MacDonald January, 2009 iii © Copyright 2008 by Britton W. MacDonald iv ABSTRACT The Policy of Neglect: The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-1939 Britton W. MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia’s members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non- Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War.

K0J 1K0 Executive Summary Rural Ontario has experienced enormous change in the last fifty years. While the rural population has become predominantly non-farm based, the structure of the rural economy has experienced a major transformation with service sector jobs now exceeding the number of jobs in agriculture. Other indicators such as declining farm numbers and farm jobs seems to confirm the view held by some that agriculture is a fading industry. However, a closer look at the Agriculture sector shows that it remains an important engine of economic growth in Ontario. Between 1985 and 1995, farm gate sales in Ontario experienced an average annual increase of 3.5%, rising from $5,511 million to $7,778 million. Projected farm gate sales of $8,840 million for 1999 suggest that agriculture is continuing on its course of growth.

  • Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario 2009
    2009/10 Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario Annual Report for 2009/10 INVADING SPECIES AWARENESS PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Invading Species Awareness Program The Invading Species Awareness Program (ISAP) has been a joint partnership initiative of the O.F.A.H. and the MNR since 1992; focusing on preventing invasive species introductions to Ontario’s forests and waters. In 2009, in collaboration with hundreds of community groups, nongovernment organizations and all levels of government, the ISAP reached hundreds of thousands of Ontarians engaging their participation in prevention. Hundreds of citizen scientists and professional field staff from numerous agencies participated in our monitoring and reporting programs. The ISAP made valuable contributions to early detection and rapid response initiatives for invasive species threatening Ontario’s biodiversity such as Asian carp, kudzu, European water chestnut, and water soldier. 2009 marked the successful completion of a multi‐year provincial effort to train the bait industry to implement aquatic invasive species prevention plans throughout their industry. The ISAP made significant contributions to provincial, national and international initiatives including the Ontario Invasive Plant Council, the U.S. Great Lakes Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species and the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network, and the development of the bi‐national Lake Superior Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Plan. Partnerships In 2009, the O.F.A.H. and the MNR continued the successful joint delivery of the ISAP, with O.F.A.H. staff working collaboratively with staff from MNR’s Biodiversity Section, as well as numerous district offices around the province. Federally, funding contributions were made from Environment Canada’s Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program, and the Lake Simcoe Clean Up Fund, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Human Resources Development Canada’s Canada Summer Jobs Program and Eco‐Canada.

No.: 8560-009 March 20, 2020 Executive Summary The Gull Lake Waste Disposal Site operates under the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Environmental Compliance Approval No. A380204. The site is on part of Lot 13, Concession 1, geographic Barrie Township, Township of North Frontenac, County of Frontenac. The site is accessed at 1651 Gull Lake Road and is 3.0 km east of the village of Harlowe and 300 m south east of Big Gull Lake. The site is closed and contains approximately 3,400 m³ of waste. The waste footprint covers approximately 0.25 ha within a 4.96 ha property. Impacted groundwater is interpreted to percolate through the waste, contact the competent bedrock, and migrate westerly, discharging into the low-lying wetland area surrounding the waste mound. The results of the groundwater and surface water sampling programs indicated the presence of landfill impacts adjacent the toe of the waste mound. Regardless of minor impacts observed, most parameter concentrations met the compliance criteria indicating adverse impacts were not occurring to the surface water receptor immediately adjacent the waste mound. Further, due to the geographic separation of where leachate is discharged to surface at the site and Big Gull Lake, observed impacts will be attenuated before the surface water enters Big Gull Lake.

As an overall comment the individual training of a soldier should ensure the ability to ‘march, dig and shoot.’ If these basics are mastered then the specialty training and collective training can be the complete focus of the commander’s/CO’s concentration.” • Colonel (Retired) Dick Cowling London, ON “I think this is the first ‘modern’ look at training in the Canadian Army that I heard of for thirty years.
