Regional Economy Demographic Characteristics Population In 2011, Eastern Ontario was home to over two million people. Of the total population, the City of Ottawa accounts for just under half (883,391). Nearly as many people (726,270) live in the eleven counties and two upper tier municipalities. An additional 395,627 live in the separated cities within Eastern Ontario. Eastern Ontario represented 16% of Ontario’s total population in 2011 (2,005,288).

Census of Population, 2001, 2006, 2011 *Eastern Ontario Reserve Population does not include all reserves. Due to statistical limitations with Statistics Canada several Reserve populations had data either suppressed or not available throughout the 2001, 2006 and 2011 Census. As such the total reserve populations figures presented here were not accounted in the final Eastern Ontario Region population count. Since 2006, Eastern Ontario has grown over five percent (5.24%), with Ottawa leading the way with a tremendous growth of 8.77% in the five year span. In order of rate of population increase, the fast growing counties (not including separated cities) in Eastern Ontario were: Hastings (8.83%), Prescott and Russell (6.48%), Haliburton (5.44%), Renfrew (4.01%), Lanark (3.78%), Lennox and Addington (3.16%), Peterborough (2.86%), Northumberland (1.44%), Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (0.61%) and Leeds and Grenville (0.10%). Only three counties (not including separated cities) witnessed net declines in population: Prince Edward (-0.93%), Frontenac (-1.06%) (Note that in Frontenac population growth was over nine percent from 2001-2006 – highest at the time), and Kawartha Lakes (-1.81%). 1 Eastern Ontario Economic Development Strategy: Appendix A – Regional Profile Eastern Ontario’s separated cities (not including Ottawa) also witnessed a fair amount of growth. In order of rate of population increase, the fast growing separated cities in Eastern Ontario were: Kingston (5.25%), Peterborough (4.37%), Pembroke (3.09%), Prescott (2.49%), Belleville (1.30%), Quinte West (0.91%), and Cornwall (0.82%). Three separated cities posted net declines in population: Brockville (-0.40%), Gananoque (1.72%) and Smiths Falls (-2.02%). It should be noted that while Eastern Ontario (excluding Ottawa) continues to grow, it is not growing at the same pace as it did from 2001-2006.

    Update on COVID-19 Projections Science Advisory and Modelling Consensus Tables January 12, 2021 Key Findings • Growth in cases has accelerated and is over 7% on the worst days. • Almost 40% of long-term care homes have active COVID-19 outbreaks. Since January 1st 198 LTC residents and 2 LTC staff have died of COVID-19. Forecasts suggest more deaths in wave 2 in long- term care than in wave 1. • COVID-19 ICU occupancy is now over 400 beds. Surgeries are being cancelled and the access to care deficit will continue to increase with real consequences for health. • Mobility, and contacts between people have not decreased with the current restrictions. Survey data show that the majority of Ontarians are helping limit spread by following them. However, case numbers will not decline until more of the population follows their example. • A new variant of concern of SARS-CoV-2 (B117) could drive much higher case counts, ICU occupancy and mortality if community transmission occurs. The doubling time for cases could drop by more than 2/3. This new variant is now in Ontario. • Without significant reductions in contacts, the health system will be overwhelmed and mortality will exceed the first wave totals before a vaccine has time to take effect. 2 Total new cases per 100,000 residents per week across PHUs Sept 17 Sept 25 Oct 16 Nov 7 Nov 23 Dec 14 Dec 26 In-person Restrictions Modified COVID-19 RESPONSE Toronto and Peel York and Province-wide classes for on bars and Stage 2 FRAMEWORK enter 28-day Windsor- lockdown all major restaurants begins in Durham, Halton, Eastern lockdown Essex enter 14 days N.

In our early days we began as a manufacturer of farm machinery equipment, steam engines, pulp and paper rolls, and in 1947, became an authorized Cleaver Brooks Representative for South West Ontario. In 1984, we streamlined the company to further focus on solely providing boiler room equipment solutions in South West Ontario. In 2015, a unique opportunity arose to expand our company to include the Eastern Ontario region formerly covered by John M. Schermerhorn Ltd.

    Land Ambulance Service Delivery Options

    TO: Chair and Members Corporate and Emergency Services Committee FROM: Terri Burton Director, Emergency Services DATE: February 18, 2015 SUBJECT: Land Ambulance Service Delivery Options REPORT NO: CES-4-2015-5 RECOMMENDATION None. For information only. ORIGIN The Province of Ontario, Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, transferred responsibility for land ambulance delivery to upper-tier municipalities (UTMs) (and service boards where no upper-tier exists), effective January 1, 2001. The District of Muskoka (District) contracted the delivery of ambulance services through a Request for Proposal process in 1999 and again in 2008. The District’s current contract with Medavie EMS Ontario is scheduled to expire December 31, 2015. BACKGROUND The Emergency Health Services Branch (EHSB) of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care oversees air and land ambulance services in Ontario, as well as, ambulance communication centres that are responsible for dispatching those services. EHSB manages and regulates land ambulance services provided by upper-tier municipalities and District Social Services Administration Boards by establishing standards for the management, operation and use of ambulance services and ensuring compliance to those standards. The Ambulance Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. A.19, as amended by the Services Improvement Act, 1997, sets out the legislative framework for the funding and delivery of land ambulance services under Municipal jurisdiction. The District provides 24 hours per day, 7 days per week land ambulance service delivery throughout Muskoka and neighbouring communities when requested. The District and its contractor are collectively responsible for: Administration and records management; Page 1 Recruitment, hiring, training and review of staff performance; Scheduling work rosters; Productivity and quality regulations assurance; Liaison with related agencies and levels of government; Fleet and facilities maintenance; Budget preparation; and Policy and procedure development and implementation.

    2010 Saw the Last Train on the Brockvile to Carleton Place Railway

    Clipping from an old Newspaper Article submitted by Leona Kidd Canada’s first great railway building decade came in the 1850’s construction of a railway to connect Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place, Almonte and intervening points to the Grand Truck Railway at Brockville was begun in 1853 and completed in 1859. The Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company’s charter of 1853 authorized building of a line from Brockville “to some point on the Ottawa River”, and a branch line from Smiths Falls to Perth. By August the company was reported to have let a first contract to James Sykes and Company of Sheffield for building and equipping the line as far as Pembroke at a cost of £930,000, and to have received subscriptions for about a third of this amount, in shares of £5 each. The County Council of Lanark and Renfrew in January, 1854, was notified that its bylaw to loan up to £200,000 to the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company had been approved by the provincial government. Sub-contractors were at work in the spring of 1854 at points between Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth and Brockville. Reverses which delayed the project culminated in the North American financial crash of 1857, when Messrs. Dale and Ellerman and Sir Charles Fox soon appeared before Lanark and Renfrew’s County Council seeking renewed municipal financial aid. Further contracts for continuing construction finally were arranged before the end of the year. In a premature and unpromising official opening of the southern section of the line early in 1859, a wood-burning locomotive with two coaches filled with passengers had left Brockville on a bitterly cold midwinter day.

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.
