3. PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT and MUNICIPAL PLAN REVIEW DATA No Concerns  Concerns 

Explanation of Concerns:

1.1.5.8 New land uses, including the creation of lots, and new or expanding livestock facilities, shall comply with the minimum distance separation formulae.

3.1.8 Development shall generally be directed to areas outside of lands that are unsafe for development due to the presence of hazardous forest types for wildland fire. Development may however be permitted in lands with hazardous forest types for wildland fire where the risk is mitigated in accordance with wildland fire assessment and mitigation standards. 4. GENERAL PLANNING COMMENTS

As identified in Part B-Section 3 of this Report, the Provincial land use planning issues that have been identified are Minimum Distance Separation (MDS 1) of a new sensitive (residential) land use from existing livestock and manure operations, and wildland fire.

Minimum Distance Separation Any new residential lots must meet Minimum Distance Separation 1 (MDS 1) requirements from existing livestock facilities on the retained lands and neighbouring properties. MDS 1 must be calculated for all livestock facilities within 750 metres of the proposed severed lot. Our records indicate that the following properties have barns within 750 metres: 1438 & 1515 Foy Road, 516 & 635 Stone Road, 232 Desmond Road, and the retained lands.

The MDS 1 forms were submitted with the application. MDS 1 was calculated, and the results were favourable.

Wildland Fire Portions of the property fall within an area of pine which poses a wildland fire risk, as identified on Schedule B-Map 1–Hazards, to the County of Renfrew Official Plan. Under Section 2.2(9)(d) development should take place outside of these risk areas, but may be permitted in them provided the risk is mitigated in accordance with Ministry of Natural Resource and Forestry (MNRF) assessment and standards. The owner has submitted a plan to address the wildland fire risk, and commentary on how the wildland fire risk will be mitigated.

Waste Disposal Site There is a waste disposal site located on Stone Road across from the property. Section 12.3(3) of the Official Plan states that an assessment of all development proposals should be undertaken within 500 metres of the licenses perimeter of an existing or closed waste disposal site to ensure that they are compatible with soil and ground water conditions and to ensure that they will not be adversely affected in any way by the presence of the waste disposal site.

A letter, dated February 9, 2021, was submitted with the application from Jp2g Consultants Inc. which discussed the existing Stone Road Waste Transfer Site. The letter states that the proposed property line is 204 metres to the Stone Road Waste Transfer Site, and 438 metres from the waste disposal site to the location of the proposed dwelling location. The letter states that due to the location of the waste fill area being downgradient and over 465 metres from the proposed dwelling, there is no concern with landfill gas migration. It stated that given the distance and vegetative buffer between the active landfilling area and the subject lands, it is anticipated that there would be little to no impact from the waste activities on nearly properties. The letter also stated that the subject is not expected to be impacted as a result of any groundwater contamination, landfill gases or operational activity.

Section 3.25(a)(vii) of the Zoning By-law states that no dwelling shall be erected within 500 metres of either an active or inactive waste disposal site. A minor variance is required to reduce the separation distance for a dwelling from a waste disposal site.

Transportation The retained lands have road frontage along Stone Road which is a County Road. Favourable comments from the County of Renfrew Public Works and Engineering Department are required.

The severed and retained lands have road frontage on Foy Road which is a Municipal Roads. Section 13.3(3) of the County of Renfrew Official Plan states that new development which proposes access to or fronts on a Municipal Road must satisfy all requirements of the Township Public Works Department. Favourable comments from the Township of Admaston/Bromley are required.

5. RECOMMENDATIONS (a) Planning concerns have NOT been identified in this report. Therefore, consent may be appropriate if supported by Council and the agencies. 

(b) There are some planning concerns which Council should deal with as follows,  before deciding whether to support the consent.

 A minor variance to reduce the separation distance for a dwelling from a waste disposal site.  Favourable comments from the County of Renfrew Public Works Department.  Favourable comments from the Township Public Works Department.

From: Allison Vereyken

Re: Osceola Landfill Expansion – Agreement with Cambium Inc.

Background:

MOVED BY: BOB HALL SECONDED BY: KEVIN LEGRIS

WHEREAS the Township of Admaston/Bromley procured the services of Cambium for the monitoring program of the Osceola Landfill Expansion;

AND WHEREAS it is deemed beneficial to sole source Cambium based on By-Law 2020-54 under the circumstances of there is a need for compatibility with goods or services previously acquired and there are no reasonable alternatives, substitutes or accommodations and the extension of an existing Contract would prove more cost effective or beneficial;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Waste Management Committee provide direction to the Clerk/Treasurer to enter into an agreement with Cambium based on the pricing and proposal provided this date for the Osceola Landfill Expansion.

A total cost of $48,054 is estimated to proceed and the 2021 budgeted figure is $50,000 to be funded from modernization.

People Consulted: Waste Management Committee

From: Allison Vereyken

Re: Ontario Infrastructure Debenture ______

As Council will recall the 2021 Budget included extensive Capital projects that were largely to be funded by Ontario Infrastructure Debentures.

Discussion:

Staff has worked with the Ontario Infrastructure and Land Corporation (OILC) in preparing the By-law presented to Council this date.

Once the application has been approved and Infrastructure Ontario has received the supporting documents (by-law, treasurer’s certificate and signature page), the Township may request to debenture the funds. A debenture by-law will need to be passed by Council which would include the interest rate offer from OILC using the rate at the time.

Financial Impact:

None at this time.

Recommendation:

WHEREAS Council approved staff to debenture the items on the application for to Infrastructure Ontario (Schedule B of By-Law 2021-30);

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council approves a by-law to approve the submission of an application to Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation (“OILC”) for the long-term financing of certain capital work(s) of the Corporation of the Township of Admaston/Bromley (the “Municipality”); and to authorize the entering into of a rate offer letter agreement pursuant to which the municipality will issue debentures to OILC.

The impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak have made this work more important than ever. The projects selected for funding under the second intake of the Municipal Modernization Program will further support municipalities’ efforts to implement efficiencies, with a focus on digital modernization, service integration, streamlining development approvals and alternative service delivery.

I understand how important this work will be to your community. To help you get started, an interim payment will be issued following execution of a transfer payment agreement. Ministry staff will forward instructions and a transfer payment agreement for each approved project in the coming days and will work with you to have it finalized.

Douglas Fire Committee Regular Meeting March 10, 2021

The regular meeting of the Douglas Fire Committee was called to order by Chairman Robert Dick. Present were Ken Keill, Daryl Thom, Harry Stuart, Fire Chief Kevin Van Woezik and Deputy Fire Chief Bill McHale. Covid-19 restrictions were followed. There were no conflicts of interest.

It was moved by Ken Keill and seconded by Harry Stuart that the minutes of the February 17, 2021 meeting be approved as read. Carried

In Old Business Covid19 restrictions were discussed and Chief Kevin is hoping to restart regular fire practices. Deputy Chief Bill mentioned that most of the firemen have had their first vaccine needle. Both he and Chief Kevin commented on how well run the process of getting the vaccine needle. A health and safety committee will be set up. Clerk Allison is going to look after this. Chairman Robert will bring the final details to the next meeting. Clerk Allison is also going to do PTSD training at the municipal office for the firemen. This will happen on March 23, 24, and 25. Chief Kevin and Deputy Chief Bill met with the new prospect for a fireman. They had a walkabout of the firehall and went over how the fire department operates. Chief Kevin is going to get a copy of all his certificates and qualifications. The quotes received for the 4-Gas Monitor and test station were much higher than originally thought. Chairman Robert thought perhaps they should try for a grant from Farm Credit Corp. The committee decided that the 4- Gas Monitor, four (4) pairs of boots and two radios could be combined to apply for a FCC grant. These items are not in the current budget.

It was moved by Daryl Thom and seconded by Ken Keill Be it resolved that the Douglas Fire Committee recommend that the Township Of Admaston/Bromley apply for a FCC grant for a 4-Gas Monitor and test station, Two (2) radios and (4) four pair of boots. “Quotes to Follow” Carried

With the upcoming possible expansion of the fire hall, a survey for the property lines needs to be completed to determine positioning of the building. The sign with the message board that is in the budget will need to be put on hold as it’s location may need to be changed. The clock may also need to be moved.

It was moved by Harry Stuart and seconded by Daryl Thom Be it resolved that the Douglas Fire Committee recommend to council of Admaston/ Bromley that the survey of the Douglas Fire Property be completed to determine lot Lines for the up coming expansion of the fire hall. Carried

In Correspondence a letter of support and thanks for being a fireman and serving the community was received from MP Cheryl Gallant. Motions of support for the Ontario Fire College at Gravenhurst were received from the Township of Brock and the Town of Mono. These three letters were received, reviewed and place on file. An email from Gary Dragon in Germany was received. He is collecting shoulder patches for The Shoulder Patch Museum in his city hall. Deputy Chief Bill said he would get one and the secretary is to forward it. Chief Kevin has sent his letter of resignation. Chief Kevin has thirty- one years of service to the fire department. He recalled being hired by then chief Terry McHale and within the hour of talking about the fire department he was on his first fire call. Chief Kevin has five years as chief, three years a deputy chief, ten years as fire captain and thirteen years as a fireman.

It was moved by Daryl Thom and seconded by Ken Keill. Be it resolved that the Douglas Fire Committee accepts the resignation of Fire Chief Kevin Van Woezik on October 31, 2021 with Regrets after 31 years of service. Carried

Chief Kevin gave a report on the month’s happenings. He mentioned that he attended a zoom meeting on the closing of the Fire College in Gravenhurst. The college will remain open but there will be no more courses given. Again, he stressed that all the local mayors need to send the same message to County council that the money normally spent on training and running the college be reinvested in local training centres. The fire college will still be responsible for the curriculum. The fire chief’s committee is working on a letter to support the local training centres. The Pembroke fire department has class room space they would consider to use for local training.

REPORT

Date: July 08, 2021 To: Council From: Michael Donohue Re: County of Renfrew Report – June 2021

This report is to provide Council with information relevant to the Township from the County Council meeting held May 26, 2021.

13(a) Tribunals Ontario Update

Previously, Ontario’s five land tribunals were part of a cluster of tribunals known as Tribunals Ontario and prior to that, the Environment and Land Tribunals Ontario cluster.

The Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) hears and decides appeals and matters related to land use planning, environmental and natural features and heritage protection, land valuation, land compensation, municipal finance, and related matters. The OLT was established on June 1, 2021 under the authority of section 2 of the Ontario Land Tribunal Act. The Act amalgamates the Board of Negotiation under the Expropriations Act, and continues the Conservation Review Board, the Environmental Review Tribunal, the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal and the Mining and Lands Tribunal, as the Ontario Land Tribunal.

Osler Legal Firm in an online article highlights implications of the Act and the establishment of the OLT, which received Royal Assent in early May through its inclusion in omnibus Bill 245, Accelerating Access to Justice Act, 2021 (Bill 245).

13(b) Official Plan Amendment (OPA) No. 31

RESOLUTION NO. DP-CC-21-06-70 Moved by Chair Seconded by Committee

THAT County Council approve the draft Official Plan Amendment (OPA) No. 31 for public consultation subject to revisions related to the TransCanada Pipeline and consolidation of the approved OPA No. 17; AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to proceed with organizing a public meeting in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act for the draft revised OPA No. 31.

Background

The Town of Arnprior provided comments related to the population projections versus allocations, the urban community designation, and the development within one kilometre of a settlement area policy. The Town did not request any changes to the amendment and therefore staff do not recommend any changes to the draft OPA No. 31 as a result of the comments received from the Town.

The TransCanada Pipeline (TCPL) requested several updates including requesting to be circulated for comment when development is proposed within 750 metres of a compressor station. Staff recommend that Section 3.3(22) of the Official Plan be amended as requested by the TCPL.

Since the first draft of OPA No. 31, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing approved OPA No. 17 (Calabogie Motorsports Track), it is recommended that the approved amendment be consolidated into OPA No. 31.

Jun 1, 2021 Come one, come all! Ontario establishes new ‘super tribunal’ to hear land and environmental matters: The Ontario Land Tribunal Author(s): Chris Barnett, Jennifer Fairfax, Patrick G. Welsh, Evan Barz, Andrew Rintoul On June 1, 2021, Ontario opened the doors to a new “super” tribunal established to hear land and environmental matters in Ontario – the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). Pursuant to the Ontario Land Tribunal Act, 2021 (the Act), five existing tribunals – the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT), the Board of Negotiation, the Conservation Review Board and the Mining and Lands Tribunal (collectively, the Former Tribunals) – will merge into the OLT. In this update, we highlight implications of the Act and the establishment of the OLT, which received Royal Assent in early May through its inclusion in omnibus Bill 245, Accelerating Access to Justice Act, 2021 (Bill 245).

THE ONTARIO LAND TRIBUNAL Each of the Former Tribunals heard matters in distinct subject areas, all of which will now be heard by the OLT. The LPAT, for example, chiefly heard cases related to land use, some aspects of heritage conservation and expropriations, while the ERT heard appeals and applications related to, among other things, environmental clean‐up orders and environmental licences and permits. The Act establishes the process by which the Former Tribunals will be merged into the OLT. Highlights related to the OLT’s composition are as follows: Current members of the Former Tribunals will continue as OLT members until the expiration of their terms of office. OLT members will continue to be appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, who will also designate a chair and vice‐chairs from among those members. The designated chair of the OLT will supervise and direct the affairs of the OLT, including the assignment of OLT members to preside over proceedings.

Toronto Montréal Calgary O awa Vancouver New York | osler.com Copyright 2021 | Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP Highlights with respect to procedure are as follows: The OLT will have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters falling under the purview of the Former Tribunals, including determining all questions of law and fact, and will have authority to make orders, give directions and impose conditions to that end. The OLT may adopt any available practices and procedures that, in its opinion, offer the best opportunity for a fair, just and expeditious resolution of the merits of the proceedings. Neither the failure to comply with the rules, nor the exercise of discretion, is a ground to set aside an OLT decision on an application for judicial review or an appeal, unless the OLT’s failure or exercise of its discretion causes a substantial wrong affecting the final disposition of a proceeding. In general, non‐parties to a proceeding may make submissions to the OLT in writing only. The OLT may dismiss a proceeding without a hearing where, among other reasons, the Tribunal believes the proceeding has no reasonable prospect of success.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE ACT AND THE ONTARIO LAND TRIBUNAL Where an undertaking would require multiple approvals under multiple pieces of legislation before multiple tribunals, the Act establishes a new process to address the consolidation of multiple hearings. This, in turn, eliminates the need for the Office of Consolidated Hearings, which previously provided for the establishment of a Joint Board to adjudicate all matters related to the approval of an undertaking, and which has now been abolished by Bill 245 through the repeal of the Consolidated Hearings Act. These changes have the potential to render the land use development process more efficient by creating a single forum to resolve matters and eliminate overlap between disputes. Other notable implications of the Act include: Expanded powers to dismiss a proceeding: The OLT’s discretion to dismiss a proceeding without a hearing where the proceeding has “no reasonable prospect of success” appears broader than the discretion conferred upon the Former Tribunals. For example, pursuant to the Planning Act, the LPAT could only dismiss a proceeding without a hearing where (i) there was no apparent land use planning ground upon which the subject of the appeal could be approved or refused, (ii) the appeal was not made in good faith or is frivolous or vexatious, (iii) the appeal was made only for the purpose of delay, or (iv) the appellant’s conduct constituted an abuse of process. The ERT’s discretion in this regard was even narrower. Ultimately, the breadth of the OLT’s discretion to dismiss a proceeding will depend on how this discretion is exercised by its members. Increased flexibility for some: The OLT’s discretion to adopt the available practices and procedures that it believes offer the best opportunity for a fair, just and expeditious resolution of a proceeding provides for greater flexibility than that enjoyed by several of the Former Tribunals, including the ERT. This may enable more efficient and effective hearing processes in certain instances. For those accustomed to the LPAT, however, whose enabling statute already provides the flexibility to select from among the available practices and procedures that would result in the fairest and most expeditious result, the Act is likely to present more of the status quo. Reduced participation rights for some: Under the OLT, participants (versus parties) will generally be limited to written submissions. The Act states that “except as may be provided for under this or any other Act, a person who is not a party to a proceeding may make submissions to the [OLT] with respect to the proceeding in writing only.” This is in contrast to the ERT, whose rules permitted various evidentiary rights (such as acting as a witness and giving oral testimony at the hearing) and both oral

Toronto Montréal Calgary O awa Vancouver New York | osler.com Copyright 2021 | Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP and written submission rights to those assigned presenter or participant status. Under the OLT, those interested in a the outcome of an environmental appeal will no longer have the option of presenter status, and they will be more limited in what they can do as a participant in an appeal. This may have the effect of causing such interested parties to seek party status before the OLT in environmental cases, in order to obtain the participation rights to which they are accustomed. This could result in ill‐ fitting party status requests, delays, and complications in environmental proceedings. Member expertise: It will be interesting to see how members are assigned to hear particular matters. By virtue of being a member of one of the Former Tribunals, any member of the OLT has the jurisdiction to hear any matter under of the Acts that give the OLT its jurisdiction. It is fair to assume that the OLT chair will take member’s expertise, as well as any desire to expand that expertise, into consideration when assigning members to hearings. Online Submission Portal: The OLT has established a new Online Document Submission portal to enable persons to submit electronic documents to the OLT. This is a change for each of the Former Tribunals, none of which had such a portal available. Those who have experience before the LPAT will likely find the changes to be minor, even if certain matters are dealt with in new ways. For others, such as those with exclusive experience before the ERT, the changes may be more pronounced and require an ability to adapt to the new forum and its processes. Note: The OLT has posted the Rules of Practice and Procedure [PDF] which came into force upon the proclamation of the Act on June 1st. These new rules were revised from an earlier draft previously posted in January 2020, after taking into account comments received through public consultation.

The Township completed an Environmental Screening Process to consider the expansion of the Osceola landfill site in 2009. This process continued through to completion in November 2013 when the final Environmental Screening Report was filed. Subsequently, an Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) application was submitted to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (Ministry) to expand the Telephone capacity of the Site from 79,000 m³ to 176,790 m³. This application included the (866) 217.7900 supporting documents: Design and Operations Report, Annual Monitoring Report, and the Township’s acquisition of additional contaminant attenuation zone lands increasing (705) 742.7900 site from 25.3 to 37.0 ha. Due to continued correspondence with the Ministry’s Technical

Support Section (TSS) and the general lack of support from the TSS for the proposed expansion, the application was withdrawn in June 2017. Facsimile Through 2017 to 2019 correspondence continued with the Ministry and additional work (705) 742.7907 was completed at the Site to address the Ministry’s concerns. Furthermore, two ECA

amendments were granted for the short-term operation of the Site: one in June 2018 permitting operations until July 2019 (and increased capacity from 79,000 m³ to 82,500 Website m³) and the most recent granted in June 2019 (increased capacity of 27,500 m³ cambium-inc.com estimated to be five years).

As you are aware, Cambium has been assisting the Township since late 2019 with

Mailing Address on-going studies including peer review of existing submissions to the Ministry, additional drilling and on-site work, and correspondence with the Ministry. Most recently, Cambium P.O. Box 325, presented a conceptual site model to the Ministry’s TSS. This was a significant step in Peterborough, Ontario Canada, K9J 6Z3 working toward an expansion of the Site. Although the Ministry was generally supportive of the conceptual site model, they have requested that the Township demonstrate that

the conceptual site model is not subject to seasonal change.

At this time, the following steps are required for the Township to continue to pursue the Locations expansion of the Site:

i. Additional field work to confirm the conceptual site model and determine any seasonal variations (2021)

10206-002 Page 1 June 21, 2021

ii. Provide the Ministry TSS with a report discussing the results of the additional field work and outlining the changes to the conceptual site model, if any (2021)

iii. Prepare an updated Design and Operations Plan for the expansion of the Site, to be submitted to the Ministry TSS for review and comment (2021)

iv. Prepare an ECA amendment application, including supporting documentation for submission to the Client Services and Permissions Branch (2022) Environmental Each step is outlined below. Geotechnical Scope of Work

Building Sciences Additional Field Work and Reporting (Step i and ii)

Construction Quality In the report prepared by Cambium entitled Township of Admaston-Bromley, Osceola Verification Landfill Conceptual Groundwater Model dated March 22, 2021, the conceptual groundwater model (CGM) was developed based on water level data collected in January 2021. As requested, additional field work is required to demonstrate that the CGM is not subject to seasonal changes. Additional field work includes the collection of water level data and the reinstallation of the drive points (if they have been damaged or

removed) at the same locations illustrated in the above report during three separate site Telephone visits. Site visits will be scheduled for early summer, fall, and one floating site visit that will be based on extreme prolonged weather (either extended dry or wet period). (866) 217.7900 Following the collection of water level data and drive point data, Cambium will provide an (705) 742.7900 updated CGM letter report.

Preparation of an Updated Design and Operation Plan (Step iii)

MEMORANDUM TO: Municipal Chief Administrative Officers and Clerks

SUBJECT: Entering Step One of the Roadmap to Reopen

I am writing to you today to advise that at 12:01 a.m. on June 11, 2021, Ontario has moved into Step One of the Roadmap to Reopen (the “Roadmap”), the Government of Ontario’s three-step plan to safely and cautiously reopen the province and gradually lift public health measures.

Step One of the Roadmap

In order to reopen safely, Step One will initially focus on resuming outdoor activities and permitting retail with restrictions. Public health and workplace safety measures, including maintaining physical distance, capacity limits and wearing face coverings in indoor spaces and whenever physical distancing is a challenge continue to apply in Step One.

See below for a high-level overview of Step One of the Roadmap, which includes, but is not limited to, the following measures. Please refer to O Reg 82/20 for precise requirements:

• outdoor dining up to 4 people per table; • outdoor fitness classes, personal training and sports training up to 10 patrons. No games or practices permitted; • essential retail at 25% capacity and discount and big box stores can sell all goods; • non-essential retail at 15% capacity and can sell all goods; • retail stores in malls closed unless the stores have a street facing entrance; • indoor religious services, rites and ceremonies including weddings and funerals at 15% capacity of the room; • outdoors religious services, rites and ceremonies including weddings and funerals are permitted with capacity limited to permit physical distancing of 2 metres; • horse racing, motor speedways without spectators; • outdoor pools and wading pools with capacity limited to permit physical distancing of 2 metres; Page 1 of 3

• outdoor zoos, landmarks, historic sites, and botanical gardens with capacity limited to 15% for ticketed areas; • day camps; • overnight camping at campgrounds and campsites, including Ontario Parks.

However, I understand that the Medical Officer of Health for the Porcupine Health Unit is implementing a tailored approach to address the unique circumstances occurring in this geography, where COVID-19 cases remain high, at this time. There is specific guidance for those located in the Porcupine Health Unit’s jurisdiction, where a more gradual approach to reopening shall occur. For those municipalities in this area, please contact the Health Unit for more information.

Orders under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA) and the Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020

Except for the closure of public lands for recreational camping which expired on June 11, 2021, as the Province moves into Step One, all other emergency orders currently under the EMCPA will remain in effect until June 16, 2021. Please note, the Lieutenant Governor in Council may further extend emergency orders under the EMCPA for up to 14 days at a time.

As of June 11, 2021, the full list of emergency orders in effect under the EMCPA, pursuant to O. Reg. 25/21, are as follows:

Order in Council/Date Made Current Revocation Date 1. Order in Council filed as O. Reg. 8/21 (Enforcement of June 16, 2021 COVID-19 Measures), made on January 12, 2021 2. Oder in Council filed as O. Reg. 55/21 (Compliance Orders June 16, 2021 for Retirement Homes), made on February 5, 2021 3. Order in Council filed as O. Reg. 271/21 (Work June 16, 2021 Redeployment for Local Health Integration Networks and Ontario Health), made on April 9, 2021 4. Order in Council filed as O.

Reg. 317/21 (Agreements June 16, 2021 Between Health Service Providers and Retirement Homes), made on April 23, 2021

Page 2 of 3

In addition, orders made under the ROA will remain in force until June 19, 2021, with the possibility of further extension if approved by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.

Enforcement of Orders

For offences under the ROA and EMCPA, police and other provincial offences officers, including First Nation Constables, special constables, and municipal by-law officers, have discretion to either issue tickets to individuals for set fine amounts or issue a summons under Part I of the Provincial Offences Act (POA) or to proceed under Part III of the POA by laying an information.

Police officers and other provincial offences officers have the authority to disperse gatherings or organized public events that are not complying with gathering/event limits and can temporarily close premises where prohibited gatherings or organized public events are occurring and require individuals to vacate.

The ministry continues to work with enforcement ministries and municipalities to collaborate and information share, including through the dedicated 1-800 Enforcement Support Line and email resource at [email protected].

The province will remain in Step One for at least 21 days to evaluate any impacts on key public health and health system indicators. If at the end of the 21 days the province has vaccinated 70 per cent of adults with one dose and 20 per cent of adults with two doses and there are continued improvements in other key public health and health system indicators, the province will move to Step Two of the Roadmap.

Thank you for your dedication and ongoing cooperative efforts to help keep our communities safe and healthy. We have achieved a great deal together against COVID- 19 and your work has played a key role in ensuring we can move safely into Step One.

Yours truly,

Kate Manson-Smith Deputy Minister
