Bun made the following remarks. “Madame Chair, Mr. Director, Trustees, Staff, Ladies and Gentlemen. As school activities are coming to a close and opinions emerge from students board-wide about their learning experiences this past year, my focus turns to the future. Since April I have tried to bring together all the work Khizer and I have done this year to give Lee Shelson an idea of what he should expect when he joins me as a Student Trustee in September. Last week Trustee Services met with both of us for the annual orientation session. Ms. Barnes gave us the Student Trustee Manual and reviewed all the need-to- knows. Going through this for a second year may seem tedious, but I actually found myself picking up things that I didn’t know about during my first term. The Student Trustee experience has been a tremendous learning curve, and it is still ongoing. Trustee Services has been a huge part of that, so I would like to formally recognize Ms. Barnes, Ms. Ballard, and Ms. Page for all the hard work they have done behind the scenes to ease Student Trustees into our new roles. Lee and I also met on our own to discuss our plans for next year. Community service and leadership opportunities are predominant areas where there is room to expand student involvement, and something we’ll focus on next year. One of my goals for this term was to revamp the current student trustee website and something I will continue to pursue as it has potential to be a great interactive resource for all York Region students, especially since we are now well into the digital age. And, as other initiatives arise province-wide through my involvement with the Ontario Student Trustees’ Association, I cannot think of a better co- student trustee to focus on current Board initiatives and new ideas. Khizer has been very supportive this year through his liaising between the Board and York Region Presidents’ Council (YRPC), and I’m certain that Lee will also be an excellent asset to the Board, to YRPC, and to students as a whole. My focus has turned to preparing Lee for his term which we are already preparing for, and discussing with our peers. The York Region Presidents’ Council has already met for the transition between our current executive members and those who have been elected to take over next year. It was a celebration, but a preparation as well. With opportunities for leadership involvement already arising, I am looking forward to a Presidents’ Council that will produce leadership and policy initiatives in addition to the student engagement events we have already perfected. Our vision as a group is to unite student leaders and representatives across the board, which has had tremendous success through YRPC and which I am sure will be continued by our new executive. Transition seems to be the consistent theme at this time of year. June is not an end to learning; it is the gateway to a new beginning. On Saturday, the Ontario Student Trustees’ BOARD MEETING MINUTES - PUBLIC SESSION PAGE 3 JUNE 17, 2010 Association held its transition meeting at our board. We were joined by 20 Student Trustees from across the province who have been, or are preparing to be, leaders in education as unique representatives of the student voice. The outgoing executive council passed on their hard work, insight, and ideas in the form of not just words of wisdom but also gigabytes upon gigabytes of documents, records, and files. At this first meeting our incoming executive council was able to come together and discuss plans for our upcoming terms. Since The Ontario Student Trustees’ Association (OSTA) is the only student stakeholder group at the Ministry of Education, we’ve got a big job ahead of us but will rise to the challenge and lead the way on student representation in all matters of education. It means so much to all of us that we were able to host the meeting right here in York Region, because this truly was a crucial step to bringing together all of our ideas to create a vision for the year ahead. The Board couch even made an appearance in our executive council picture. Stay tuned for that on the OSTA website. Thank you.” Vice-Chair A. DeBartolo thanked Student Trustee M. Bun for her report. APPLAUSE At this time, Director of Education K. Thurston made the following remarks. Thornlea Secondary School Student Takes Gold “Would Marcus Chan please come forward. A Grade 9 student of Thornlea Secondary School, Marcus Chan, has added a new national title to his resume. Marcus competed for a national wrestling title in British Columbia in the weight class for boys less than 51 kilograms. Marcus won this national competition with apparent ease, winning every round including the gold medal one. He said, however, that “it was not as easy as it looked”. Each competitor was tough and posed a genuine challenge. However, all of his hard work, training and his favourite move, the double-leg takedown, enabled him to reach the ultimate goal. This isn’t the first national title for Marcus; last year he won the National Judo championships. Marcus will continue to work hard, keeping the goal of competing for Canada in the Olympics as a possible future milestone. Joining Marcus tonight is Diana Smith, Vice-Principal at Thornlea Secondary School. The Canadian National Mathematics League Contest Would the students from Glen Shields Public School, please come forward. Grade 6 gifted students from Glen Shields Public School participated in the Canadian National Mathematics League Contest. This contest is held every year in February. BOARD MEETING MINUTES - PUBLIC SESSION PAGE 4 JUNE 17, 2010 Glen Shields competed against 327 schools from across Canada. The students were required to answer 40 questions in 30 minutes and were allowed to use calculators. Few students score as high as 30 points, students with half that (15 points) are commended. The Glen Shields team consisted of Shai Rotem (who scored 39), Margaret Dorokhina (scored 36), Yesheng Wang (scored 36), Nolan Strolight (scored 36), Helen Lin (scored 35), Alexa Chew (scored 35), and Tianyao Liu (scored 35). Shai Rotem also ranked 4th out of the top 29 students across Canada; and 3rd out of the top nine students in Ontario. Glen Shields Public School ranked 4th out of 327 schools across Canada; and 3rd in Ontario. Congratulations to you all – this is an amazing achievement. Joining the students tonight are Principal Sandy Arbuck, Vice-Principal Andrew Locker, and Teachers Lorrain Sher, Jodi Avertick, and Michael Leung. Spelling Bee Would our spelling bee students, Ishaan and Sandhia, please come forward.

  • ACTIVE TOGETHER MASTER PLAN Parks, Recreation & Libraries
    ACTIVE TOGETHER MASTER PLAN Parks, Recreation & Libraries 2013 Review & Update May 2013 APPENDIX mbpc Monteith Brown planning consultants ACTIVE TOGETHER MASTER PLAN Parks, Recreation & Libraries APPENDIX A: BACKGROUND DOCUMENT REVIEW 1. Planning Documents The Ontario Planning Act The Ontario Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 is the guiding document for all land use planning in Ontario, with the objective of promoting sustainable economic development in a healthy environment. Sections 42 and 51.1 of the Planning Act establish a framework for parkland dedication, which provides approval authorities with powers to impose parkland dedication requirements as a condition of development or a plan of subdivision through site plan. These sections maintain that 2% for commercial and industrial land and 5% of residential lands be conveyed to the municipality for parkland or other public recreational purposes. In certain cases, where the approval authority has established specific policies regarding parkland dedication, the Planning Act allows the approval authority to require parkland at a rate of one hectare for each 300 dwelling units proposed. Alternatively, the Planning Act gives the approval authority to accept payment in lieu of parkland equal to the value of land required. The Planning Act establishes that the value of this land is determined the day or the day before the draft plan of subdivision is approved or the issuance of a building permit. Further, Section 42 (6.2) maintains that the Council may reduce the payment of cash‐in‐lieu of parkland if a redevelopment project meets certain sustainability criteria established in the Official Plan, where the Official Plan contains policies regarding the reduction in cash‐in‐lieu payments, and where no land is available to be conveyed for park or other public recreational purposes.
