DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION FINAL • MARCH 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ballymore Building (Barrie) Corp. retained The Municipal Infrastructure Group (TMIG) to prepare this traffic impact study in support of the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision residential development located on a 26.4 Hectare parcel of land in the south half of Lot 16, Concession 11 within what is known as Phase 1 and Phase 3 lands of the Hewitt’s Secondary Plan in the City of Barrie. This report determines the Ballymore-related site traffic and the subsequent traffic-related impacts on the adjacent road network during the weekday AM and PM peak hours. The proposed subdivision is situated adjacent to the north side of Lockhart Road, abutting the east side of the CN Rail line (east of Yonge Street). Ballymore’s lands are bisected by a large Natural Heritage System (NHS), effectively splitting the development into two distinct parcels consisting of a total of 469 residential units. The northerly portion (in Hewitt’s Phase 1) of the Ballymore subdivision proposes 87 street-related freehold townhouses, while the southerly portion (in Hewitt’s Phase 3) proposes a mix of townhouses and apartments totalling approximately 382 units.

  • Joint Submission the Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparen
    Joint Submission to The Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 November 26, 2014 November 26, 2014 To: The Standing Committee on General Government Re: Bill 8, Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act, 2014 The four school board/trustee associations would like to take the opportunity to respond and comment on this omnibus piece of legislation and in particular two schedules, out of the total eleven schedules, that will directly affect our membership. The bill’s title refers to accountability and transparency– two values that school boards and their elected trustees strive to ensure on a daily basis. Governed by the Education Act, school boards operate under many regulations, policies and guidelines and provide numerous reports, as required by the Ministry of Education, in order to demonstrate transparency and accountability measures. While we believe the government’s intention is to increase public confidence and to show an openness to the province’s electorate, we feel that, without due consideration of the current mechanisms for accountability and transparency that apply to school boards, we have been unfairly captured in the consideration of Schedule 1 – Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014 and Schedule 9 – Amendments to the Ombudsman Act and Related Amendments. The reporting requirements for school boards far exceed requirements in any other sector. These include highly detailed financial reporting three times a year in addition to multiple layers of reporting with regard to students, employees and board improvement planning. Schedule 1: Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014 The new proposed legislation aims to establish compensation frameworks for a lengthy list of public sector employers including those at Ornge, Metrolinx, OLG and the LCBO as well as the executives at school boards.

The City of Burlington’s fundamental priority throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been to protect the health and safety of Burlington residents, employers and employees, and support our business community to survive the economic impacts of COVID-19 public health measures. The members of Team Burlington (Burlington Economic Development, Burlington Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Burlington, Burlington Downtown Business Association and Aldershot Village BIA) came together to create the Burlington Economic Recovery Network (BERN) to engage our business community and ensure they are receiving the support they need during this challenging time. Supporting our local businesses to create digital sales tools was one the key recommendations of BERN which was achieved through accessing the Digital Main Street program. The Digital Main Street Program has been a critical support to local main street businesses during COVID-19 that Team Burlington has implemented based on business concerns raised by the Burlington Economic Recovery Network. As part of the program Burlington has benefitted from hiring two Digital Service Squad members who have had over 1,000 touchpoints with businesses and supported over 130 businesses to date in growing their digital presence and tools.

  • 1/2 for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Patient Ombudsman Launches Systemic Investigation Into the Resident and Caregiver Experience at Ontar
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Patient Ombudsman launches systemic investigation into the resident and caregiver experience at Ontario’s Long-term Care Homes with outbreaks of COVID-19 (Toronto, June 2nd, 2020) Patient Ombudsman began monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the experiences of patients, residents and caregivers when the pandemic was first declared. Complaints from residents, family members and whistleblowers pointed to a crisis in Ontario’s long-term care homes. On April 26th, 2020, Patient Ombudsman launched a public appeal for COVID-19 complaints in long-term care. Patient Ombudsman asked staff, family members, caregivers and residents to disclose situations where they felt the safety of residents and staff may be in significant jeopardy. Since March, Patient Ombudsman received 150 complaints about long-term care homes. That number continues to grow. “Our office would like to thank every resident, caregiver and staff person of a long-term care home for having the courage to come forward with their complaints. We are committed to resolving these complaints and amplifying the voices of residents and caregivers as we learn from their experiences. Patient Ombudsman acknowledges Ontario Ombudsman’s separate investigation of the oversight of the long-term care system by the province’s Ministry of Long-Term Care and Ministry of Health. Our investigation is specific to the resident and caregiver experience at long-term care homes with outbreaks of COVID-19. We feel that this investigation will help long-term care homes prepare for future outbreaks of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.” (Craig Thompson, Executive Director, Patient Ombudsman) Investigation focus The investigation will focus on the experience of residents and caregivers in those long-term care homes that experienced an outbreak of COVID-19.
