  • Responses to CEWF Questions from Candidates Elected in Minden Hills
    Responses to CEWF Questions from Candidates Elected in Minden Hills Responses from Jeanne Anthon Candidate for Ward 1, Minden Hills Questions from the Coalition 1. Do you agree that municipalities have a role to play in working to improve water management in the Haliburton sector of the Trent River watershed? If so what is your personal commitment in this regard? JA: Yes, lower-tier municipalities especially are too often subject to the dictates of larger centers along the Trent River watershed and accordingly must be provided a position at discussion tables to ensure their concerns and needs are considered. I have read and support the CEWF mission and objectives plus the 2008 Panel Report on the Future of the Trent-Severn Waterway. I commit to keep these matters before local council. 2. Do you agree that, rather than seeking the establishment of Conservation Authorities in those areas currently lacking a CA, there is merit in municipalities contracting the existing CAs to provide specific expertise and services such as low water response planning or flood plain mapping for reservoir lakes deemed to have significant flood risk? JA: Yes, I worked with Ontario Conservation Authorities several years ago in developing a watershed management tool and envied areas that utilized Authorities. I would suggest that, if an authority is contracted to manage our Haliburton systems, representation from this area sit on the Board of Directors. There will be a cost to municipalities but this would hopefully be offset by the more efficient operations of our watershed-based ecosystems. Two recent floods cost several million dollars and climate changes threaten to repeat these disasters.

To determine the economic impact of an airport, economists measure three types of impacts: direct, indirect, and induced. The sum of the three measures equals the total economic impact of the airport. • Direct economic impact refers to the employment and revenues attributable to the commercial activities which take place directly at the airport. For the purposes of this study, businesses located adjacent to the airport with airside access, and whose operations are integral to the operation of the airport have also been included. • Indirect economic impact measures the purchase of goods and services by airport businesses from other firms, in terms of the employment and revenues resulting from their operations in support of airport operations.

  • Request for Proposals Township of Algonquin
    REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TOWNSHIP OF ALGONQUIN HIGHLANDS MUNICIPAL CULTURAL PLAN The Township of Algonquin Highlands is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to prepare a municipal cultural plan for the Township. The municipal cultural plan will be a key tool in the Township's economic development tool kit. 1.0 COMMUNITY PROFILE The Township of Algonquin Highlands is a lower tier municipality located on the western side of the Haliburton Highlands in Central Ontario. Algonquin Highlands includes the geographic townships of Sherborne, McClintock, Livingstone, Lawrence, Nightingale and Stanhope. The former townships of Stanhope and Sherborne were each incorporated in 1866. In 1874 the two townships came together and were known as The United Townships of Stanhope and Sherbourne (with a u). They separated in 1897 and Sherborne went on to become Sherborne et al, encompassing the townships of Sherborne, McClintock, Livingstone, Lawrence and Nightingale. Stanhope remained independent until it amalgamated – again, with Sherborne et al in 2001, becoming Algonquin Highlands. The municipality is characterized by several very small urban settlements and a significant amount of both waterfront and rural areas predominantly understood to be “cottage country”. The Township of Algonquin Highlands includes half the village of Dorset, part of Carnarvon and the hamlets of Boskung, Buttermilk Falls, Halls Lake, Little Hawk Lake, Maple Lake, Ox Narrows, and Oxtongue Lake, the latter having the pleasure of being nestled up beside, and sharing the history of, Algonquin Provincial Park. While the township is characterized by having four main communities (Carnarvon, Stanhope, Dorset and Oxtongue), each of the hamlets noted above has a colourful and well-documented history.
