Adjourn 3294190 3 Financial Statements of WATERLOO REGIONAL HERITAGE FOUNDATION And Independent Auditors’ Report thereon Year ended December 31, 2019 DRAFT 4 KPMG LLP 115 King Street South 2nd Floor Waterloo ON N2J 5A3 Canada Tel 519 747-8800 Fax 519 747-8830 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Board of Directors of Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation We have audited the financial statements of The Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation (the Entity), which comprise: • the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019 • the statement of revenues and expenses for the year then ended • and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (Hereinafter referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Entity as at December 31, 2019, and its results of operations for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. Basis for Opinion DRAFT We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our auditors’ report. We are independent of the Entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. KPMG LLP is a Canadian limited liability partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. KPMG Canada provides services to KPMG LLP. 5 Page 2 Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Entity’s financial reporting process. Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the DRAFTbasis of the financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 6 Page 3 • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity's internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

  • Appendix 5 Station Descriptions And
    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions and Technical Overview Stage 2 light rail transit (LRT) stations will follow the same standards, design principles, and connectivity and mobility requirements as Stage 1 Confederation Line. Proponent Teams were instructed, through the guidelines outlined in the Project Agreement (PA), to design stations that will integrate with Stage 1, which include customer facilities, accessibility features, and the ability to support the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) goals for public transit and ridership growth. The station features planned for the Stage 2 LRT Project will be designed and built on these performance standards which include: Barrier-free path of travel to entrances of stations; Accessible fare gates at each entrance, providing easy access for customers using mobility devices or service animals; Tactile wayfinding tiles will trace the accessible route through the fare gates, to elevators, platforms and exits; Transecure waiting areas on the train platform will include accessible benches and tactile/Braille signs indicating the direction of service; Tactile warning strips and inter-car barriers to keep everyone safely away from the platform edge; Audio announcements and visual displays for waiting passengers will precede each train’s arrival on the platform and will describe the direction of travel; Service alerts will be shown visually on the passenger information display monitors and announced audibly on the public-address system; All wayfinding and safety signage will be provided following the applicable accessibility standards (including type size, tactile signage, and appropriate colour contrast); Clear, open sight lines and pedestrian design that make wayfinding simple and intuitive; and, Cycling facilities at all stations including shelter for 80 per cent of the provided spaces, with additional space protected to ensure cycling facilities can be doubled and integrated into the station’s footprint.

  • Former CFB Rockcliffe Redevelopment Community Transportation Study
    June 2014 Former CFB Rockcliffe Redevelopment Community Transportation Study Prepared by: 12 February 2015 ERRATA SHEET The land use statistics associated with the Development Concept Plan for the Former CFB Rockcliffe Redevelopment are continually being refined as part of the on-going planning process. During the Summer 2014, the Plan was modified slightly from that used as the basis for the ensuing Community Transportation Study (dated 27 June 2014) resulting in approximate 40 additional residential units and 40 additional retail-related jobs. As a result of this land use change, the net change in two-way, peak hour vehicle trips to/from the site is noted to be an increase of approximately 60 veh/h, which is considered very minor in scale in comparison to the total projected generation of approximately 2,000 veh/h two-way. This small discrepancy in vehicle trip generation would have no bearing on the report’s finding or recommendations. A subsequent update to the Development Concept Plan was received in January 2015 reflecting very minor adjustments to the proposed land use. In September 2014, the National Capital Commission announced the renaming of the Rockcliffe Parkway to the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Parkway (Promenade Sir George-Étienne Cartier). This name change has not been reflected within the current version of the report. In December 2014, the City of Ottawa requested that the CTS include commentary/analyses related to multi-modal level of service as outlined within the 2013 update of the Transportation Master Plan, Ottawa Cycling Plan and Ottawa Pedestrian Plan. The draft analysis related to this most recent City request is included herein as an Addendum No.

    Real Strategy Market Outlook: Q3 2018 RealStrategy.com R E A L S T R A T E G Y Real Strategy Market Outlook: Q3 2018 The 3rd Quarter of 2018 saw a significant amount of leasing activity in Ottawa by the Federal Government. Showing clear signs that public purse strings have been loosened, the public service has returned to the market place in force while steady demand from the private sector places Ottawa on a path to a balanced market. Greater Ottawa’s overall office availability fell from 10.7% in Q2 2018 to 10.1% continuing a downward trend that started this time last year. Downtown Class C Availability fell sharply by 5.3% due primarily from Nav Canada’s committing to lease all 133,000 sq. ft. of 151 Slater Street last quarter. Class A Availability remained relatively flat at 5.9%, while Class B Availability dropped from 11% to 9.8%; a 4th consecutive quarter of shrinking inventory. Real Strategy understands that significant additional government demand is still to come and expects the A and B Class downtown office space to continue to be absorbed at an increasing pace until the next Federal election expected in the fall of 2019. Downtown Available Rate by Class Greater Ottawa Availability 6,000,000 30 5,000,000 25 4,000,000 20 3,000,000 15 2,000,000 10 1,000,000 5 0 0 RealStrategy.com Largest Downtown Vacancies Total Available 18% 44% 19% 38% 40% 31% 55% 14% Rate: Address 45 O’Connor Street 110 O’Connor Street Constitution Square Killeany Place 473 Albert Street 222-230 Queen 85 Albert Street Constitution Square (I) (III) Total Office Area (sq.
