  • Municipality of North Grenville File No
    Report No. CS-008-2018 Municipality of North Grenville File No. C7-CS Agenda Date: September 17th, 2018 – Committee of the Whole Subject: Sites of Remembrance Project Attachments: Appendix 1: Project Request from Roy Brown Appendix 2: Heritage Advisory Committee Resolution of Support RECOMMENDATION The following recommendation is provided for the Committee of the Whole’s consideration: That Committee of the Whole recommend to Council that staff be directed to implement the North Grenville Sites of Remembrance website project. BACKGROUND In the fall of 2017, Roy Brown sent correspondence to Council outlining his idea for a special North Grenville Sites of Remembrance project and requesting that the Sites of Remembrance be featured on a page of the Municipal website. (Appendix 1) Council referred the request to the Heritage Advisory Committee for a recommendation and, pending the Committee’s response, a report from staff. At the February 5th, 2018 Committee of the Whole meeting, the Committee responded with a recommendation to implement the request (Appendix 2) and staff advised an administration report on implementing the project would be coming to Committee of the Whole. ANALYSIS The Municipality currently contracts the design and creation of its websites to a local firm as we do not have the knowledge and expertise on staff. However, once the pages have been designed, in-house staff can populate and maintain the information. Our contractor estimates that the project will cost around $2,000 and take approximately 2-3 days to complete. In addition, there will likely be about 1½ days of Municipal staff time required. Given the fact that the information contained on the Sites of Remembrance page won’t need to be updated or changed on a frequent basis, there likely won’t be any other costs, in-house or contracted out, associated with the project.

  • North Grenville
    RVCA Work In North Grenville he strength and resiliency of our local communities rely on the Rideau River and its surrounding watershed. T Without lakes, rivers, streams, forests, wetlands, floodplains, natural shorelines and groundwater aquifers we wouldn’t have air to breathe, water to drink, places to boat, swim and fish, water and soil to support agriculture and industry or green spaces to explore and relax in. Simply put, natural areas sustain life. They also support economic development and property values, reduce flood, erosion and drought impacts and they are the best defense against climate change. Since people and nature are interconnected and interdependent, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) works closely with local municipalities, residents and other partners to deliver programs and services that protect, restore and enhance the Rideau watershed. RVCA's work also protects people and property from natural hazards like flooding and erosion. Serving your Municipality • Planning services — provide professional, technical It’s hard to find a municipal service that RVCA’s programs review of development proposals within or don’t support either directly or indirectly. We provide adjacent to natural areas for member municipalities watershed knowledge and expertise that guides regarding official plan amendments, zoning by- municipal decision-making, assists with emergency law amendments, plans of subdivision, site plans, management and ensures sustainable development. consents/severances and minor variances Our programs also support local economic development, • Septic approvals and re-inspections — provide tourism and recreation and we provide these programs in inspection and approval services for new or a consistent cost-effective manner across the watershed.
