The Nation Municipality 958 Route 500 West Casselman, ON K0A 1M0

RE: The Nation Municipality 2020 Development Charges Background Study Progress report for Municipal Council

We are pleased to provide this progress report to Council, as we work through the background research and prepare the Background Study and By-law for Development Charges in the Nation Municipality.

The current Development Charges By-law will expire on June 1, 2020. The current residential Development Charges in effect in the Nation Municipality range from $2,181.53 per unit for an Apartment or Multiple Attached Dwelling to $4,120.66 for a Single Detached Dwelling Unit. The Development Charge for Non-Residential was $1.05 per square foot until the end of 2018 and there has been no Development Charge for Non-Residential levied since the beginning of 2019.

Prior to the adoption of a new Development Charges By-law in 2020, the Municipality is required to complete a new Development Charges Background Study in order to identify services to which the Development Charges will relate for the next five years. ZanderPlan was awarded the contract on February 25th.

Changes were made to the Development Charges Act and to the Planning Act with the enactment of Ontario’s Bill 108 More Homes, More Choices Act in June of 2019. The Development Charges Act now clearly sets out a specific list of services for which development charges may be applied. When considering the Nation Municipality’s 2015 DC study, only Public Works and Fire Protection were initially deemed eligible as a result of Bill 108. However, in February 2020, the Ontario government proposed additional services that could be funded through development charges, including libraries and recreation services. While these proposed changes have not been enacted as of this date, in consultation with municipal staff this Background Study will assume that General Government, Library and Recreation services will be eligible categories within the new Development Charge Bylaw for the Nation Municipality.

Population growth in the Nation is projected to increase by 1.5% annually for the next ten years, attaining a total population of 15,476 residents by the end of 2029. Residential

development is expected to average 74 new dwellings per year over the next ten years, for a total of 741 new dwellings. Commercial and industrial development is expected to be modest.

A capital program has been prepared in the Background Study for each of the Nation Municipality’s development charge service categories. Each program identifies the capital projects that will be required to service the Municipality as it grows over the next 10 years. The forecast was developed collaboratively with Municipal staff and details each growth-related project and its cost (the gross cost is adjusted as required by the Development Charges Act).

The Nation’s 2020 Development Charge must not include an increase that would result in the level of service exceeding the average level over the past ten year period. Per capita Average Service Levels have been determined for each of the service categories in this study, based on the assessed value of property/ buildings and the replacement cost for vehicles/ equipment:

General Government N/A Fire Department $528 per capita Public Works TBC Recreation $564 per capita Library $33 per capita

Most recently, Municipal staff and the Consultants have jointly prepared the list of eligible capital projects for 2020 to 2029. The ‘growth-related’ portion of each project has been determined and these range from 7.5% to 80%.

In summary, the proposed 2020-2029 Capital Projects with gross (unadjusted) cost by service category are as follows:

1. General Government: this service category includes corporate studies related to growth (Official Plan update and two DC studies). 2. Fire Department: three new dry hydrants, replacement of two existing vehicles, purchase of three new (additional) vehicles, new/ replacement equipment and replacement of the St Albert Fire Station (2029). Total gross cost of all projects is $3,054,021. 3. Public Works: includes growth related roads projects, continuation of Innovation and Fournier garages DC collection, and growth-related equipment. The total gross cost of all Public Works projects is $2,818,744.43 (note: missing two intersection upgrades) 4. Recreation: completion of the Recreation Master Plan, design and construction of the Limoges Recreation Complex (2020 and 2021), a new walkway and bike path, convert the Bowling Alley in St Isidore Arena, construct new Dog Park, replace the Zamboni, further development of Savage Park, replace the Recreation Department pick-up and

relocate the outdoor rink at St Isidore Park. Total gross cost of all projects is $10,855,120. 5. Library: expand the collection of reading materials at the Limoges branch, new shelving/ work stations and the relocate of the Limoges branch (2027). Total gross cost of all projects is $506,000.

Here is the proposed schedule to complete the Development Charges Study:

March 31st Complete remaining sections of the Draft Report (calculation of DC’s, implementation)

April 2nd Post draft report for 60-day public review on Municipal website (as required by the Development Charges Act), hard copies to be provided by the Municipality

April 6th Consultants present draft report to Council for feedback; staff present list of 2020-2029 Capital Projects for approval by Council

May 4th Notice of the Public Meeting is posted on the Municipal website (20 days)

May 25th Public meeting presentation by Consultants (during regular Council meeting)

June 1st Municipal staff present the final report and Bylaw to Council for approval

June 2nd Implementation of new Development Charges

We are well aware of the Covid-19 situation that is happening, and appreciate that the proposed Council and Committee meetings may not happen as described above. The Consultants will continue to work with Municipal staff to achieve these targets as much as possible.

NOTIFICATION

13 March 2020

SUBJECT: LAND APPLICATION OF BIOSOLIDS — AN ORGANIC-RICH SOIL AMENDMENT ALTERNATIVE TO COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.

Dear Sir or Madam:

We wish to notify you that we plan to land-apply municipal biosolids on agricultural land located on Lots 13 & 14 Concession VIII Caledonia (see attached map). Biosolids are a fertilizer and soil- building material produced from treated wastewater at the City of Ottawa's Robert O. Pickard Environmental Centre.

Biosolids contain organic matter and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which are essential for crop production. Biosolids also contain micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc, which are also essential for plant growth.

Many steps are taken to ensure that land application of biosolids is both safe and beneficial. The Government of Ontario has regulations governing the treatment and application of biosolids - including the Nutrient Management Act. Further to these requirements, the City has implemented enhanced guidelines that incorporate additional safeguards recommended by Ottawa's Medical Officer of Health.

Like other organic fertilizers, including manure, biosolids land application may result in odour during spreading. To minimise the impact of odours on nearby residents, biosolids are incorporated into the soil within 2 hours of spreading. Please visit ottawa.ca and search biosolids to find additional information on the program.

Third High Farms has been contracted by the City of Ottawa to manage the land application of biosolids, which includes hauling, spreading and incorporating the biosolids on agricultural land.

Land application activities (delivery, spreading) will take place this spring. Depending upon weather conditions, we expect to start this site no earlier than 1 April 2020 and we anticipate that it will take no more than 3 days to complete.

If your property abuts the land application site you may request a free well sample. Samples will be taken both before and after land application (within four weeks prior to application, and between 10 and 12 weeks following land application).

To request well water sampling or for more information about the City's biosolids beneficial use program, please contact:

Erik Apedaile Office: 613-260-2411 Toll Free: 1-877-360-3830 [email protected]

For more information about the City's biosolids beneficial use program, please contact:

AVIS

le 13 mars 2020

OBJET: ÉPANDAGE DE BIOSOLIDES — UNE SOLUTION D’AMENDEMENT DU SOL RICHE EN MATIÈRES ORGANIQUES QUI REMPLACE LES ENGRAIS COMMERCIAUX.

Madame, Monsieur,

Nous tenons à vous aviser que nous avons l’intention d’épandre des biosolides municipaux sur les terres agricoles situées sur les lots 13 et 14 de la concession 8 Caledonia (voir la carte ci- jointe). Les biosolides, qui sont utilisés pour la fertilisation et l’amendement du sol, sont produits à partir d’eaux usées traitées au Centre Environnemental Robert-O.-Pickard de la Ville d’Ottawa.

Les biosolides contiennent des matières organiques et des éléments nutritifs comme l’azote et le phosphore, qui sont essentiels à la production agricole. Les biosolides contiennent également des oligoéléments comme le calcium, le magnésium, le cuivre et le zinc, qui sont aussi essentiels à la croissance des plantes.

De nombreuses mesures sont prises pour que l’épandage des biosolides soit à la fois bénéfique et sans risque. Le gouvernement de l’Ontario régit le traitement et l’épandage de biosolides, notamment grâce à la Loi de 2002 sur la gestion des éléments nutritifs. Outre cette réglementation, la Ville d’Ottawa a approuvé des lignes directrices encore plus rigoureuses, qui intègrent des mesures de sécurité supplémentaires recommandées par le médecin chef en santé publique de la Ville d’Ottawa.

Comme d’autres engrais organiques, dont le fumier, les biosolides peuvent dégager des odeurs lors de l’épandage. Pour minimiser l'impact des odoeurs pour les résidents du voisinage, les biosolides sont incorporés dans le sol dans les deux heures suivant l’épandage. Rendez-vous à ottawa.ca et tapez « biosolides » dans l’outil de recherche pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur le programme.

La Ville a retenu les services de la société Third High Farms pour gérer le programme d’épandage de biosolides, qui comprend le transport, l’épandage et l’incorporation des biosolides dans les terres agricoles.

Les activités d’épandage (livraison, épandage) se dérouleront ce printemps. Nous comptons commencer les travaux sur ce site au plus tôt le 1 avril 2020, si le temps le permet. Ils ne devraient pas prendre plus de 3 jours.

Si votre terrain est adjacent au site, vous pouvez demander un échantillonnage gratuit de l’eau de votre puits. Le cas échéant, des échantillons seront prélevés avant et après l’épandage (soit dans les 4 semaines précédant les travaux et de 10 à 12 semaines après).

Pour demander l’échantillonnage de l’eau de votre puits ou pour en savoir plus sur le programme d’épandage de biosolides de la Ville d’Ottawa, veuillez communiquer avec :

Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario Le 17 mars 2020 POUR PUBLICATION IMMÉDIATE

Le Médecin hygiéniste augmente les directives concernant le COVID-19 en réponse à la situation d’urgence décrétée en Ontario Les résidents sont incités à « rester en sécurité à la maison »

Mardi, le 17 mars, le gouvernement de l’Ontario a déclaré une situation d’urgence provinciale en vertu de l’article 7.0.1 (1) de la Loi sur la protection civile et la gestion des situations d'urgence, afin de limiter et ralentir la propagation du COVID-19 en Ontario. En vertu de cette déclaration et des décrets qui y sont associés, les établissements suivants dans la région du BSEO, ainsi que dans le reste de la province, sont dès maintenant tenus par la loi de fermer immédiatement :  Tous les établissements qui offrent des programmes récréatifs en salle  Tous les gymnases  Toutes les bibliothèques publiques  Toutes les écoles privées  Toutes les garderies agréées  Tous les théâtres, y compris ceux qui proposent des spectacles de musique, de danse et d'autres formes artistiques, ainsi que les cinémas qui diffusent des films  Toutes les salles de concert  Tous les bars et boîtes de nuit  Tous les restaurants avec service à la table. Les entreprises qui offrent des aliments à emporter et la possibilité de livraison sont encouragées à continuer de fournir leurs services au public, puisque ces options aident à limiter les interactions sociales parmi les gens.  Il est aussi interdit d'organiser tout événement public de plus de cinquante personnes, y compris des défilés, des manifestations, et des services collectifs aux lieux de culte.  À noter : Le décret ne s’applique pas au transport en commun, aux centres commerciaux, aux épiceries ni aux pharmacies pour l’instant.

De plus, j’ai émis les directives suivantes :  Les Églises et les lieux de culte devraient fermer.  Restez et travaillez à la maison autant que possible et évitez les sorties non essentielles.  Les adultes âgés de plus de 70 ans ne devraient quitter leur foyer que si c’est absolument nécessaire.  Évitez tous les voyages internationaux non essentiels. Les résidents qui ont voyagé à l’extérieur du Canada doivent aussi s’auto-isoler pendant 14 jours dès leur retour.

Ces décrets resteront en vigueur jusqu'au 31 mars 2020, date à laquelle ils seront réévalués et leur prolongation sera envisagée, à moins qu'il n'y ait été mis fin d'ici là. Les résidents doivent prendre avis qu’une expansion de ces directives peut être nécessaire selon les circonstances. « Nous incitons tout le monde à rester à la maison, en toute sécurité si c’est possible », dit Dr Roumeliotis. Il ajoute que les mesures ci-dessus aideront à protéger tous les résidents, incluant ceux qui sont les plus vulnérables. Elles aideront d’ailleurs à assurer que les professionnels de la santé puissent concentrer leurs efforts sur ceux et celles qui en ont le plus besoin. Le BSEO continue de collaborer avec ses partenaires des paliers régional, provincial et fédéral à la surveillance et à la prise en charge de cette situation en pleine évolution.

Eastern Ontario Health Unit March 17, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Medical Officer of Health Expands COVID-19 Directives in Response to Ontario State of Emergency Residents encouraged to “Stay Home, Stay Safe”

On Tuesday, March 17th, the Government of Ontario declared a provincial state of emergency, under 7.0.1 (1) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, in order to limit and slow the spread of COVID-19 in Ontario. As a result of this declaration and its associated orders, the following establishments in the EOHU region, as well as the rest of the province, are legally required to close immediately:  All facilities providing indoor recreational programs  All gyms  All public libraries  All private schools  All licensed childcare centres  All theatres including those offering live performances of music, dance, and other art forms, as well as cinemas that show movies  All concert venues  All bars and nightclubs  All dine-in restaurants. Businesses that provide food takeout and delivery options are encouraged to continue providing their services to the public, as these options will help limit social interactions between people.  All organized public events of over fifty people are also prohibited, including parades and events and communal services within places of worship.  Note: The order does not yet apply to public transit, shopping malls, grocery stores or pharmacies.

In addition, Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health, has issued the following directives:  Churches and places of worship should close.  Stay/work at home as much as possible and avoid non-essential outings.  Adults over the age of 70 should not leave their home unless absolutely necessary.  Avoid non-essential international travel. Residents who have travelled outside of Canada, including to the United States, must self-isolate for 14 days upon their return.

These orders will remain in place until March 31, 2020, at which point they will be reassessed and considered for extension, unless they are terminated earlier. Residents should be advised that there is a possibility that the orders may expand, depending on circumstances. “We’re encouraging everyone to stay home, and stay safe, wherever possible,” says Dr. Roumeliotis. He adds that the above measures will help protect all residents, including those who are most vulnerable. They will also help ensure that healthcare professionals can focus their efforts on those who need it most. The Eastern Ontario Health Unit is continuing to work with partners at the regional, provincial and federal levels to monitor and respond to this evolving situation.

SNC’s environmental programs and services are now available to the City of Clarence- Rockland and its residents along the .

The expansion was unanimously approved by SNC’s Board of Directors at a meeting held on February 20th at the request of the City’s Municipal Council, who voted in support of joining the Conservation Authority’s jurisdiction on February 3rd.

Formal notice of expansion was provided on March 6thto theHon. John Yakabuski, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, and the Hon. Jeff Yurek, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.

The enlargement expands upon Clarence-Rockland’s existing 197 square-kilometers within the SNC jurisdiction to include the community of Rockland and the Ottawa River.

SNC’s watershed jurisdiction comprising of 16 member municipalities in Eastern Ontario is now 4,446 total square-kilometers. See attached press release for more information.

Update to Ontario’s Flood Strategy:

Ontario’s Special Adviser on Flooding, Mr. Doug McNeil, met with local agencies at Ottawa City Hall on September 5, 2019. Mr. McNeil was tasked with reviewing Ontario’s current flood mitigation strategies and to advise the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) on opportunities to improve the Province’s resilience to flooding.

On March 9, 2020, John Yakabuski, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, released Ontario’s Flooding Strategy clearing indicating Conservation Authorities will have a continued role to play in the shared responsibility on strengthening the approach to flooding.

"We're listening to people from across the province who have been affected by flooding, and that is why we're taking a whole-of-government approach and calling on the federal government, our municipal partners, conservation authorities, industry and Indigenous communities to work with us to implement the actions contained in this strategy."

The Strategy focuses on five priority areas:

• Understanding Flood Risk through updated floodplain mapping and increasing access to flood-related information.

• Strengthening Governance through provincial policy to ensure local development is directed away from areas where flooding and erosion present unacceptable risks.

• Enhancing Flood Preparedness using state-of-the art science and technology.

• Enhancing Response and Recovery by improving how we receive and respond to municipal requests for assistance.

• Investing in Flood Risk Reduction by working with the federal government to increase investment in critical areas like mapping and infrastructure.

Mémorandum

Destinataires : Maire François St. Amour, Conseil, DG Josée Brizard De : John Mesman, chef d'équipe, Communications et sensibilisation Date : Le 13 mars 2020 Objet : Stratégie ontarienne de lutte contre les inondations et élargissement de la compétence de la CNS

Compétence de la Conservation de la Nation Sud à Clarence-Rockland :

Les programmes et services environnementaux de la CNS sont maintenant fournis à la Cité de Clarence-Rockland et ses résidents le long de la rivière des Outaouais.

L'expansion a été approuvée à l'unanimité par le conseil d'administration de la CNS lors d'une réunion tenue le 20 février à la demande du conseil municipal de la Cité, qui a voté en faveur de l'adhésion au territoire de compétence de l'Office de protection de la nature le 3 février.

Un avis officiel d'expansion a été remis le 6 mars à l'honorable John Yakabuski, ministre des Richesses naturelles et des Forêts, et à l'honorable Jeff Yurek, ministre de l'Environnement, de la Protection de la nature et des Parcs.

Cette expansion vient s'ajouter aux 197 kilomètres carrés de Clarence-Rockland, actuellement sous la compétence de la CNS, pour inclure la collectivité de Rockland et la rivière des Outaouais.

Le bassin versant de la CNS, qui comprend 16 municipalités membres dans l'Est de l`Ontario, couvre maintenant 4 446 kilomètres carrés. Voir le communiqué de presse ci-joint pour plus d'informations.

Mise à jour de la Stratégie ontarienne de lutte contre les inondations :

Le conseiller spécial de l'Ontario sur les inondations, M. Doug McNeil, a rencontré les agences locales à l'hôtel de ville d'Ottawa le 5 septembre 2019. M. McNeil a été chargé d'examiner les stratégies actuelles d'atténuation des inondations de l'Ontario et de conseiller le ministre des Richesses naturelles et des Forêts (MNRF) sur les possibilités d'améliorer la résilience de la province aux inondations.

Le 9 mars 2020, John Yakabuski, ministre des Richesses naturelles et des Forêts, a rendu public le document sur la Stratégie ontarienne de lutte contre les inondations, indiquant clairement que les offices de protection de la nature auront un rôle continu à jouer dans la responsabilité partagée du renforcement des mesures à l'égard des inondations.

« Nous sommes à l'écoute des personnes de toute la province qui ont été touchées par les inondations, et c'est pourquoi nous adoptons une approche pangouvernementale et demandons au gouvernement fédéral, à nos partenaires municipaux, aux offices de protection de la nature, à l'industrie et aux communautés autochtones de travailler avec nous pour mettre en œuvre les mesures contenues dans cette stratégie. »

La stratégie se concentre sur cinq domaines prioritaires :

• Cerner les risques d'inondation grâce à une cartographie actualisée des plaines inondables et à un meilleur accès aux informations relatives aux inondations. • Renforcer la gouvernance grâce à une politique provinciale visant à garantir que le développement local soit orienté à l'écart des zones où les inondations et l'érosion présentent des risques inacceptables. • Améliorer la préparation aux inondations en utilisant les sciences et les technologies de pointe. • Améliorer les capacités d'intervention et de rétablissement en améliorant la façon dont nous recevons et répondons aux demandes d'aide des municipalités. • Investir dans la réduction des risques d'inondation en travaillant avec le gouvernement fédéral pour augmenter les investissements dans des domaines critiques comme la cartographie et les infrastructures.

N'hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous souhaitez plus d'informations.

Au plaisir de vous rencontrer,

COVID-19 Preparation and Response

In light of the COVID-19 preparations here in Ontario, we wanted to communicate to members and customers about our plans moving forward.

While the number of cases worldwide is changing quickly, the risk to Canadians—including Ontarians—continues to be low but the federal government has warned the situation could quickly change.

The Public Health Agency of Canada has a strategy focused on containment of the virus through thorough testing, identification, and isolation of individuals who have travelled to countries where there have been significant outbreaks or been in contact with someone who has tested positive.

Within Ontario, the government is working to ensure it is prepared to contain and respond to the attack including establishing assessment centers, launching a self-assessment tool, and ensure active screening for all staff, volunteers, family members, and new and returning residents in long- term care homes.

AMCTO is working diligently to engage in active prevention efforts, which includes:

 Consulting with local public health units for in-person AMCTO events;  Examining alternative delivery options for AMCTO programming, as necessary;

1  Communicating with all contracted venues for upcoming events to ensure they are using the appropriate disinfectants (as per Public Health guidelines) to clean all rooms and gathering spaces.

As the situation develops, AMCTO staff will be closely monitoring the recommendations of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care as well as Ontario Chief Medical Officer. Contingency plans will be developed for upcoming events should there be a change in the containment strategy.

Moreover, please be assured that AMCTO will continually assess the merit of holding our upcoming in-person events (Annual Conference, Workshops, Forums, Courses etc.). We ask you check our website and member based communications for ongoing updates.

For up-to-date information and resources pertaining to COVID-19, please regularly check the Ontario webpage below:

AMO Policy Update

Queen’s Park Update: New Provincial Legislation to Allow Virtual Municipal Council Meetings

During today’s emergency legislative session at Queen’s Park, the Province introduced the Municipal Emergency Act, 2020 to assist municipal governments and local boards during the COVID-19 emergency (Ontario News Release). This legislation, and the Employment Standards Amendment Act (Infectious Disease Emergencies), 2020, have now received unanimous consent in the Legislature.

Top of mind for municipal governments has been the ability to ensure councils, council committees, and municipal boards can meet virtually to make key decisions without needing to meet physically – given societal necessity for social distancing and isolation.

The Municipal Act, 2001 and the City of Toronto Act, 2006, have been amended to provide that, during municipal or provincial emergencies, members of councils, local boards and committees who participate electronically in open and closed meetings, may be counted for the purposes of quorum. Use of this emergency provision will be at each municipal council’s discretion. At this point, today’s legislation has not been publicly posted. The House is now recessed until March 25th at 4pm when the Finance Minister will deliver an economic update.

“Municipalities have a key role to play in COVID-19 response, management, and recovery. If passed, this legislation will ensure municipal councils can continue to conduct the important business of municipal government and maintain the local and regional services Ontarians rely on most”. Jamie McGarvey, AMO President, and Mayor, Parry Sound

AMO would like to thank the Province and all parties for their support of today’s legislation.

Also, under the Municipal Emergency Act, 2020 is an amendment to allow the Lieutenant Governor in Council (i.e., Cabinet) to make regulations imposing limits and conditions on the powers of a municipality with respect to s. 129 of the Municipal Act. This will allow the Province to make a regulation overriding noise by-laws enabling 24- hour delivery of critical goods throughout Ontario for up to 18 months. This will support the supply chains of grocery stores and pharmacies and other key services.

We also understand that previously stated deadlines for current provincial consultations are being reconsidered in light of the COVID-19 emergency, such as an extension of the DC/CBC consultation. As AMO learns of consultation extensions of municipal interest, we will update members.

AMO will continue to work closely with the provincial government to make sure municipal governments have the ability to respond effectively to the COVID-19 and keep their communities safe and healthy. The Province today has dealt with the priority municipal concern, and they are aware of other municipal concerns such as the need to pause the statutory clocks under some provincial legislation at this time. Please continue to make us aware of any provincial legislative or regulatory barriers municipalities may be encountering that inhibit your ability during this emergency.
