n behalf of Aleah, Chelsey, and our entire staff, we are pleased to welcome you to Summer Employment Transitions 2018! We are currently in the process of reviewing applications for the 0 program this year and we are delighted to announce that we have approximately 55 eager students seeking placements in a variety of sectors. These students range from 16-29 years of age, are returning to school in the fall, reside in the Sarnia-Lambton area and are looking forward to obtaining a job within their local community.

This year we have 16 job coaches trained and ready to assist the students while on the job. The job coaches are fulltime post-secondary students who are returning to school in the fall and provide on the job training and assistance for individualswho require additional support upon gaining employment. Our job coaches are employed and paid for by Community Living,while the students are employed and paid for by our many employers within the Sarnia-Lambton area. Employers are responsible for providing the student with a minimum ofthree hours and up to a maximum oftwenty hours a week at minimum wage ($14.00).

While we are progressing, it remains that more jobs must be obtained. Our goal is to obtain 65 job placements, thus, the release of scheduling and placements to students must wait until all jobs are secured. Accordingly, the Jobcoach assigned to your workplace will be revealed to the students on Information Night |June 21"]. Around this time, each job coach will be looking to contact their respective employers and discuss summer expectations and answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding the program.

Dear Premier Wynne, Provincial Party Leaders Ford and Honlvathr

On May 23, 2018, Hamilton City Council approved item 4 of Planning Committee Report 18-008 which reads as follow:

4. Municipalities call on the Province for the “Right to Approve" Landfill Developments (Item 6.1)

WHEREAS municipal governments in Ontario do not have the right to approve landfill projects in their communities, but have authority for making decisions on all other types of development;

WHEREAS, this out—dated policy allows private landfill operators to consult with local residents and municipal Councils, but essentially ignore them;

WHEREAS, proposed Ontario legislation (Bill 139) will grant municipalities additional authority and autonomy to make decisions for their communities;

WHEREAS, municipalities already have exclusive rights for approving casinos and nuclear waste facilities within their communities, and the Province has recognized the value of municipal approval for the siting of power generation facilities;

WHEREAS, the recent report from Ontario's Environmental Commissioner has found that Ontario has a garbage problem, particularly from Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) waste generated within the City of Toronto, where diversion rates are as low as 15% and, unless significant efforts are made to increase recycling and diversion rates, a new home for this Toronto garbage willneed to be found, as landfill space is filling up quickly;

WHEREAS, municipalities across Ontario are quietly being identi?ed and targeted as potential land?ll sites for future Toronto garbage by private landfill operators;

WHEREAS, other communities should not be forced to take Toronto waste, as landfills can contaminate localwatersheds, air quality, dramatically increase heavy truck traffic on community roads, and reduce the quality of life for local residents;

WHEREAS, municipalities should be considered experts in waste management, as they are responsible for this within their own communities, and often have decades’ worth of in—houseexpertise in managing waste, recycling, and diversion programs; and

WHEREAS, municipalities should have the exclusive right to approve or reject these projects, and assess whether the potential economic benefits are of sufficient value to offset any negative impacts and environmental concerns;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

(a) That the City of Hamiltoncalls upon the Government of Ontario, and all political parties, to formally grant municipalities the authority to approve landfill projects in, or adjacent to their communities, prior to June 2018;

(b) That in the case of a two-tier municipality, the approval be required at both the upper-tier and affected lower-tier municipalities;

(0) That the City of Hamilton encourages all other municipalities in Ontario to consider this motion calling for immediate Provincial action;

(d) That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), the Ontario Good Roads Association and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). “Right to Approve” Landfill Developments Page 3 of 3 May 24, 2018
