D.1 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Stantec was asked to provide a professional opinion on concerns raised by Whiteoaks consultants in a document package entitled “Compressed_O'Connor MacLeod Hanna Comments_Redacted” 1. Within this document package there are numerous technical reports completed by Lawrence Behr Associates, Lehman and Associates and M.A. Tilston Engineering as well as a number of letters from private and public entities in support of the concerns raised by O’Connor MacLeod Hanna LLP. The review of the document package included reports which highlighted concerns from human safety due to the potential for high levels of RF Energy predicted to be present at the proposed Oakville Green Development site. The reports also included in-depth calculations and modelling of various scenarios to show that the presence of the proposed four (4) fifteen (15) storey buildings at the site and their construction could have significant negative impact to the two (2) radio station’s licensed antenna radiation patterns. Various scenarios using different construction crane heights at close proximity to the tower site were presented to model the potential distortion to the licensed radiation contours. The technical modelling, calculations and mathematical assessments in the report were completed using competent Electrical Engineering, valid antenna fundamentals knowledge and sound practices. There were however statements and calculations which were made out of context to raise concerns to a higher level. Specifically, that the investigated developments could introduce long term negative impact to the radio stations. The antenna array radiation pattern technical modelling was based on a different development proposal, “Martillac, Graydon-Banning and Oakville Green Life Sciences and Technology District.” 2 which was modelled to have residential components and tall structures within a few hundred meters of the Tower site. The impact of the concluding statements regarding the Martillac, Graydon-Banning development are very different than those which would apply in the Oakville Green Development proposal due to the close proximity to the tower site. The modelling conclusions on the radiation pattern distortion caused has no direct relevance to the Oakville Green Development case. The models would need to be redone using appropriate distances and pertinent parameters based on detailed architectural plans for the Oakville Green Development and the radio station’s latest Proof of Performance submissions. There are sections in the document addressing re-radiation, building heights and contact currents by M.A. Tilston Engineering which go back to 1993. The modelling and conclusions in those sections are technically accurate but overly conservative given the latest RF energy limits in Safety Code 6. The modelling was done for other proposed developments and not specifically for the Oakville Green Development project. i 1 - Compressed_O'Connor MacLeod Hanna Comments_Redacted, dated March 14, 2019 2 - Martillac, Graydon-Banning and Oakville Green Life Sciences and Technology District, extracted from Compressed_O'Connor MacLeod Hanna Comments_Redacted 3 – Safety Code 6 (2015); Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range From 3 Khz TO 300 Ghz 4 – Lawrence Behr Associates extract from Compressed_O'Connor MacLeod Hanna Comments_Redacted 5 - TN-329 Technical Note; Safety Code 6 (SC6) Measurement Procedures (Uncontrolled Environment) 6 - TN-261, Issue 3, Safety Code 6 (SC6) Radio Frequency Exposure Evaluation Template (Uncontrolled Environment Exposure Limits), replaces TN- 261, Issue 2, published in December 2012. 7 - Federal Communications Commission

New artists and new music are an essential component of great orchestras and throughout its history, the TSO has been active in fostering the work of emerging artists and composers. 12 In the 2012/2013 season, the TSO performed three world premières, two North American premières, eight Canadian premières, six newly co-commissioned works, and four newly commissioned works. 13 The new faces included the appointment of Steven Reineke as Principal Pops Conductor and the establishment of the RBC Resident Conductor and RBC Affiliate Composer programmes with the appointments of Shalom Bard and Kevin Lau, respectively. In September I led the orchestra on its eighth Northern Residency in North Bay and Timmins with repertoire that included the TSO commission The Hockey Sweater by Abigail Richardson and narrated by well-known Canadian author Roch Carrier. Over the five-day residency we performed for more than 10,000 students and adults in public concerts, and provided 48 free in-school performances and nine masterclasses. We have also added new dimensions to the concert experience by including visual elements such as James Westwater and Nicholas Bardonnay’s photochoreography of Smetana’s Mà Vlast (My Homeland), an “Audience-Choice” programme, and for the New Creations Festival we commissioned MIT professor Tod Machover to create a symphonic work written for and by the citizens of Toronto entitled A Toronto Symphony: Concerto for Composer and City.

  • Sheigra Dxpedition Report
    Sheigra DXpedition Report 12 th to 25 th October 2019 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 58th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland on the far north western tip of the Scottish mainland, just south of Cape Wrath. DXers made the first long drive up here in 1979, so this we guess, was the 40 th anniversary? And the DXers who first made the trip to Sheigra in 1979 to listen to MW would probably notice little change here today: the single-track road ending in the same cluster of cottages, the cemetery besides the track towards the sea and, beyond that, the machair in front of Sheigra’s sandy bay. And surrounding Sheigra, the wild windswept hillsides, lochans and rocky cliffs pounded by the Atlantic. (You can read reports on our 18 most recent Sheigra DXpeditions on the BDXC website here: http://bdxc.org.uk/articles.html ) Below: Sheigra from the north: Arkle and Ben Stack the mountains on the horizon. Once again we made Murdo’s traditional crofter’s cottage our DX base. From here our long wire Beverage aerials can radiate out across the hillsides towards the sea and the Americas to the west and north west, and eastwards towards Asia, parallel to the old, and now very rough, peat track which continues on north east into the open moors after the tarmac road ends at Sheigra. right: Dave earths the Caribbean Beverage. We were fortunate to experience good MW conditions throughout our fortnight’s stay, thanks to very low solar activity. And on the last couple of days we were treated to some superb conditions with AM signals from the

As provided by the Radio Regulations, 1986, CKNT may devote up to 15% of the broadcast week (18.9 hours) to third-language ethnic programs without approval by the Commission. In addition, there is no limit on the amount of ethnic programming that CKNT may broadcast in English, French, or a language of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada. The Commission reminds the licensee that it may consult with Commission staff for clarification on matters related to the application of the Commission’s regulations and policies. Application 1. The Commission has the authority, pursuant to section 9(1) of the Broadcasting Act (the Act), to issue and renew licences for such terms not exceeding seven years and subject to such conditions related to the circumstances of the licensee as it deems appropriate for the implementation of the broadcasting policy set out in section 3(1) of the Act, as well as to amend those conditions on application of the licensee. 2. The Commission received an application by 8159203 Canada Limited (“8159203 Canada” or “the applicant”) to amend the broadcasting licence for the English-language commercial AM radio programming undertaking CKNT Mississauga, Ontario.
