Mayor Dan O'Mara Municipality of Temagami 7 Lakeshore Drive P.O. Box 220 Temagami ON P0H 2H0
Dear Mayor O'Mara:
Ontario has heard directly from the municipal sector that operating impacts due to the pandemic will continue in 2021. In order to respond to municipal need and to further strengthen our communities, we are now investing an additional $500 million to help municipalities respond to ongoing and unprecedented 2021 COVID-19 operating pressures. While the actual extent of municipal impacts for 2021 are uncertain at this time, the province expects that this funding will help municipalities continue to deliver the high-quality local services that residents and business rely on, as well as help municipalities proceed with planned capital projects in 2021.
I am pleased to inform you that the Government of Ontario has committed financial support to the Municipality of Temagami through the 2021 COVID-19 Recovery Funding for Municipalities program in order to support your COVID-19 operating costs and pressures. All municipalities in Ontario are eligible for this program and the level of funding is based on the proportion of COVID-19 cases in the Public Health Unit for your respective municipality during the period of January 1, 2021 to February 18, 2021. I have reviewed the eligibility criteria for provincial assistance under the program and have determined that accordingly, your municipality will receive $15,000.00, subject to your municipality returning a copy of this letter, signed by your municipal treasurer, to the ministry by March 31, 2021. You will receive these funds in two equal instalments – one instalment on or before May 1, 2021 and the other on or before November 1, 2021.
Please note that your municipality is accountable for using this funding for the purpose of addressing your priority COVID-19 operating costs and pressures. If the amount of the funding your municipality receives exceeds your 2021 COVID-19 operating costs and pressures, the province’s expectation is that your municipality will place the excess
1 Page 12 of 119
funding into a reserve fund to be accessed to support any future COVID-19 operating costs and pressures.
The province realizes that municipalities are facing financial impacts due to the COVID- 19 pandemic and that in some instances, this provincial funding will not be sufficient to cover all municipal operating impacts due to COVID-19. The province expects municipalities to do their part by continuing to find efficiencies in their operating services and using existing reserves and reserve funds that have been specifically put aside for such unforeseen circumstances.
Your municipality will be expected to provide two report backs on your COVID-19 operating impacts and the use of these funds as follows: 1. An interim report in June 2021, which will include: a) Use of funds provided last year under the Safe Restart Agreement – Operating funding stream; and b) 2021 estimated COVID-19 operating impacts and how your municipality plans to use the funding under the 2021 program. 2. A final report back in Spring 2022.
We had previously indicated that Safe Restart Agreement reporting would be expected in March 2021. However, we have decided to streamline this reporting and the new 2021 COVID-19 Recovery Funding for Municipalities program. The template for this report back will be provided by the ministry with more details to follow in the coming months. While the province expects your municipality to complete this report, your second instalment under the 2021 COVID-19 Recovery Funding for Municipalities program is not contingent on the province receiving your interim report.
At this time, I am requesting that your municipal treasurer sign the acknowledgement below and return the signed copy to the ministry by email to: [email protected]. If the province has not received your letter on or before March 31, 2021, you will not be eligible for this program and your municipality’s allocation will not be paid. In order to allow for processing time, please provide your signed letter to the ministry on or before March 24, 2021.
Our government continues to stand with our municipal partners as we have throughout the pandemic, advocating for funding for communities from the federal government to support local economic recovery. Communities may need more COVID-19 related operating funding in the coming year, and we will continue to advocate on your behalf to the federal government. I encourage you to contact your local Member of Parliament to seek further federal support in order to help municipalities deal with their operating impacts due to COVID-19.

The government thanks all 444 Ontario municipal heads of council for their support throughout the pandemic and our ongoing partnership in Ontario’s economic recovery.
Sincerely,
Steve Clark Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing c. Municipal Treasurer and Municipal CAO
By signing below, I acknowledge that the allocation of $15,000.00 is provided to the Municipality of Temagami for the expected purpose of assisting with COVID-19 costs and pressures and that the province expects any funds not required for this purpose in 2021 will be put into a reserve fund to support potential COVID-19 costs and pressures in 2022. I further acknowledge that the Municipality of Temagami is expected to report back to the province on 2021 COVID-19 costs and pressures and the use of this funding.

Dear Heads of Council and First Nations Chiefs:
I am writing to provide you with an update on the new Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachment boards under the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA).
As you may remember, in February 2020, the Ministry of the Solicitor General conducted seven regional roundtable sessions across the province. Discussions at these sessions focused on new OPP-related regulatory requirements under the CSPA. Municipalities and First Nation communities receiving policing services from the OPP were invited to learn more about new OPP-related legislative and regulatory requirements and provide the ministry with feedback to inform the development of related regulatory proposals. In addition, we heard from many of you through various letters and engagement opportunities, including meetings with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario MOU Table and Rural Ontario Municipal Association about what you would like your new OPP detachment board to look like.
In response to your feedback, an OPP detachment board framework has been developed that we hope will provide municipalities and First Nation communities receiving direct and/or supplemental services from the OPP the flexibility to create a board that reflects your community and local needs.
Under this framework, municipalities and First Nation communities receiving direct and/or supplemental services from an OPP detachment are being asked to submit one proposal (per detachment) indicating the composition of their board and, if needed, a rationale for multiple boards and the composition of each additional board.
Municipalities and First Nations within a detachment are asked to work together to determine the composition of their board(s) as well as the manner in which they will submit their proposal to the ministry. For example, after determining the composition of the detachment board(s), municipalities and First Nations within a detachment area may select one municipality or First Nation to complete and submit the proposal.

Dear Heads of Council and First Nations Chiefs Page 2
Proposals must meet base requirements set by the ministry, which include a minimum number of five members per board and a requirement that each board should be composed of 20% community representatives and 20% provincial appointees. To that end, municipalities and First Nations are not required at this time to identify the names of the individuals that will be participating on the detachment board. Rather, you are only asked to identify the number of seats each municipality and First Nation will be allocated on the detachment board as well as the number of community representatives and provincial appointments.
To streamline and support the proposal process, the ministry has developed a digital form that can be accessed using the link included here.
The ministry will work with municipalities and First Nations to obtain outstanding information/proposals and support you in submitting a completed proposal. If, however, a proposal still does not meet the minimum requirements, or a proposal is not submitted and/or if no consensus is reached on the composition of the board then the ministry will determine the composition of the detachment board.
Completed proposals are to be submitted to the ministry by Monday, June 7, 2021.
We recognize the significant implications that the current COVID-19 emergency has had on municipalities and First Nations across the province. To this end, in addition to the written supporting material attached here, we are also pleased to work with you directly through virtual information sessions.
If you have questions related to OPP detachment boards under the CSPA, please contact Sarah Caldwell, Director of Community Safety and Intergovernmental Policy, at [email protected]. If you have questions about the proposal process or would be interested in a virtual information session, please contact Joanna Reading, Senior Policy Advisor, at [email protected]

Three exhibitions looking at different aspects of the historic culture in northern Ontario have been given a boost with funding by the Department of Canadian Heritage.
The North Bay Area Museum Society, Temiskaming Art Gallery and Temagami First Nation have all been awarded over $55,000 each to go towards three separate projects. The Honourable Anthony Rota, Member of Parliament for Nipissing-Timiskaming says, “I am happy to see these organizations in Nipissing-Timiskaming getting the assistance they need so that they can put together these important projects that will highlight historic people and events from our region.” $57,973 will go towards the North Bay and Area Museum Society. Director/Curator Naomi Hehn says, “This will allow the North Bay Museum to work with a research team from Nipissing University (Departments of Geography and History), Nipissing First Nation, Dokis First Nation, and Carnegie Museum of Natural History to create a travelling exhibit. The project will aim to research and highlight the lives and contributions of Nbisiing Nishinaabeg guides by centering the story of the Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum expeditions and its collections from a Nbisiing perspective.” She adds, “In relationship with Nipissing First Nation and Dokis First Nation, the exhibition will feature family objects, historical photographs and film, bird and audio recordings, and beaded natural history specimens. The exhibit will first be on display locally before traveling on to other Northern Ontario communities including Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Dokis First Nation, and Timmins.” “I’m very proud of the work that our Culture & Heritage staff are doing in collaboration with our partners to help correct our erasure from history,” said Nipissing Chief Scott McLeod. “Relationship-building partnerships like this one are so valuable in enabling this important work to happen. This funding for research will specifically bring focus to and highlight contributions of our Nbisiing Guides on expeditions by museums.” Chief McLeod adds, “The Nbisiing Nishnaabeg have occupied this territory for over 10,000 years and have a rich history. It’s vital that we reclaim this knowledge to help us learn more about the past, and that we share this knowledge and these collections as we continue on our path towards cultural revitalization.” $62,403 is geared towards the Temiskaming Art Gallery (TAG). Executive Director and Curator Melissa Laporte says they plan to, “Present a retrospective exhibition of the work of Northern Ontario artist George Cassidy (1903 - 1972), through the gracious support of the Museum Assistance Program from the Department of Canadian Heritage.”
Page 19 of 119 She adds, “This funding will enable TAG to partner with the Cobalt Mining Museum and the Bunker Military Museum, and hire curator Felicity Buckell, to present a comprehensive retrospective of Cassidy's life and works. Paintings will be gathered from public and private collections, including TAG's own permanent collection. The exhibition will be presented at TAG in 2022, and tour galleries across Northern Ontario. This retrospective exhibition will highlight the place of Cassidy's works within Canadian art history, shedding light on the work of artists during World War II, with a focus on the modern Canadian painting style made famous by Cassidy's contemporaries in the Group of Seven.” $58,000 is given to Temagami First Nation for a project called Oral Histories of n’Daki Menan. Chief Shelly Moore-Frappier says “This project supports our ongoing efforts to reclaim our histories within our home territory, n’daki menan. Our elders will continue to play a vital role in welcoming our material culture back into our community. They will bear witness to this process and share details and stories integral to our history and relationship with the land.” She adds, “I see this project as important to the work of truth telling and redress that needs to happen in this country if we are to commit to more respectful ways of being in relations with one another. It is our people that are the rightful caretakers and stewards of our cultural property despite this legacy of forcibly removing artifacts from our homelands. As such, we are well positioned to inform important policies and practices in repatriation initiatives, including those related to ongoing care and access.” Quick Facts

Dear Honourable Anthony Rota, M.P. and Honourable Marc G. Serré, M.P.:
RE: Recovery for All Campaign Endorsement
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges for people experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness in Nipissing District. In addition, the homeless-serving sector continues to endure extreme system pressure during the pandemic. Nipissing District Homelessness and Housing Partnership (NDHHP) sees an opportunity for the Government of Canada to shape pandemic recovery plans such that the federal government’s commitment to housing as a human right is realized and homelessness in Canada is ended once and for all.
We commend the Canadian government on its efforts to help communities address the impacts of the pandemic. Initiatives such as increased flexibility and funding under Reaching Home, implementation of the Canada Recovery Benefit, and federal-provincial Safe Re-Start Funding have undoubtedly contributed to homelessness prevention at the local level. Beyond enhanced government support during the pandemic, NDHHP seeks meaningful multi-year housing investment from the Canadian government to address local needs.
We would like to bring to your attention a national movement to end homelessness in Canada that is relevant to needs in Nipissing District. NDHHP recently endorsed, in principle, the Recovery for All campaign led by Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness (CAEH). CAEH proposes strategies to reduce the inflow to homelessness and accelerate the outflow from homelessness. The motion is enclosed for your review. Strategies relevant to Nipissing District include bold federal investments in affordable housing, income, and initiatives to address homelessness among children, youth, women, and urban Indigenous peoples living off-reserve.
Homelessness and housing challenges are complex and growing issues in Nipissing District. Most recent data, as illustrated in the enclosed Nipissing District Homelessness and Housing Data Snapshot, points to the following key pressures: inadequate household income placing people at risk of homelessness and acting as a barrier to finding housing; lack of affordable housing; core housing need particularly in rural areas; over-representation of Indigenous peoples experiencing homelessness due to colonization; and homelessness among children, youth, women, and people with mental health and substance use challenges. The health consequences of homelessness and poverty are well-documented. It is safe to say

c/o 127 Main Street East North Bay, ON P1B 1A9 705-472-1337 the pandemic has furthered social, economic, and health inequities for the most vulnerable in our communities. Reacting to the complexity of challenges of homelessness and poverty at the community level, while under-resourced, leaves health and social services exhausted and Canadians falling through the cracks unable to have their basic needs met and thrive. These problems have been exacerbated by the pandemic and it is unacceptable to return to the pre-pandemic status quo of poverty and homelessness.
NDHHP encourages you to bring forward the Recovery for All campaign and experiences from Nipissing District for discussion in caucus. Further, we encourage a coordinated response from all levels of government to develop pandemic recovery plans that strengthen social safety nets, eliminate homelessness, and allow our communities to reach their full potential where all people have access to a safe, adequate, affordable place to call home.
Sincerely,

Page 22 of 119 Nipissing District Homelessness and Housing Partnership Motion to Endorse Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness Recovery for All Campaign
Whereas, Nipissing District Homelessness and Housing Partnership (NDHHP) aims to develop and advocate for comprehensive, sustainable, and evidence-based solutions to: address, prevent, and eliminate homelessness in the District of Nipissing;
Whereas, Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness and the Recovery for All campaign seek to build a national movement to eliminate homelessness for all Canadians as part of Canada’s pandemic recovery and proposes strategies, such as enhancing Reaching Home funding, that are relevant to needs in Nipissing District;
Whereas, housing is a human right as declared by Canada under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and movement toward its realization is in alignment with Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Call to Action #43*1,2,3;
Whereas, homelessness is associated with poor health outcomes such as mental health issues, including substance use disorders, injuries, and chronic diseases, e.g., hypertension, diabetes4; housing is an absolute necessity for living a healthy life, and living in unsafe, unaffordable or insecure housing increases the risk of many health problems and furthers health inequities5;
Whereas, in January 2021, there were 1,441 applicants on the Centralized Waiting list for affordable housing in Nipissing District6; and most recent data (2016) shows that 15.5% of households in Nipissing District and up to 33.7% of households in Mattawa were in core housing need, that is living in dwellings that were unsuitable, inadequate, or unaffordable7,8; Nipissing District is in need of more and varied affordable housing options, including transitional and supportive housing, to meet the unique needs of urban and rural populations;
Whereas, as a result of colonization, Indigenous populations in Nipissing District are grossly over-represented among those experiencing homelessness9,10; during a 24 hour Point in Time Count in March 2020, 42% of respondents experiencing homelessness identified as Indigenous or of Indigenous ancestry and discrimination and stigma were listed as a top barrier to finding housing11; NDHHP supports a distinct Indigenous housing strategy to expand the supply of non-market housing owned and managed by Indigenous Peoples for urban Indigenous Peoples living off reserve in small northern cities like North Bay;
Whereas; nearly 3 in 5 respondents in the 2020 Point in Time Count reported first experiencing homelessness before the age of 25, over 1 in 4 identified having been in foster care or group home, and 35% in North Bay reported first experiencing homelessness before the age of 1812; NDHHP supports developing a new funding stream to prevent homelessness among women, children and youth;
Whereas, poverty is a driver of homelessness and inadequate income has been identified by Nipissing District residents experiencing homelessness as the top barrier for finding housing13,14; Poverty can mean a person is one illness, one accident, or one paycheque away from homelessness15; NDHHP supports the concept of a minimum income that allows everyone to live in housing that is safe, adequate, and affordable;
Therefore, be it resolved that Nipissing District Homelessness and Housing Partnership endorses, in principle, the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness Recovery for All Campaign and their national movement to end homelessness in Canada.

Page 44 of 119 MARTEN RIVER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 FIRE CHIEF’S REMARKS
On behalf of the dedicated men and women of the Marten River Volunteer Fire Department I am pleased to present the 2020 Annual Report. It has been a pleasure and privilege to serve as fire chief for the devoted members of this department , the Marten River community and the Municipality of Temagami.
The COVID19 pandemic has created a constant challenge for this department to find methods that work to , motivate fire fighters to develop and improve their skills, to meet fire prevention obligations, to control the transfer of the virus during activations and to attend to members mental health.
Technology has created platforms for meetings with, industry partners, council, emergency management and government agencies. A great devel- opment that saves time, travel expenses and the environment.
Volunteer fire department’s however thrive on personal contact… so with hope placed on vaccine distribution, we will come back when this is over and again feel the warmth of a handshake and the reassurance of a friendly smile with renewed appreciation.

Marten River Fire Department made application to the Jenny’s Heroes Canada 2020 Fire Service Equipment Grant, the two times it was offered. The applications were made to access bunker gear for members that are currently wearing mismatched not made to measure, and or out dated gear. We were unsuccessful in this bid.
Page 51 of 119 FIRE PREVENTION AND COMMUNITY AWARENESS
Because of COVID 19 restrictions Marten River’s four major community events in which Marten River Fire Department participated were cancelled. In person fire prevention house to house visits could also not take place. This has force us to move more to social media and Email to get out fire department messaging. Using the MRVFFTA face book page , OFM approved fire prevention information about Fire Escape Plans, Do Not Bring Electronics to Bed– Sleep Safe & Sound and Changing Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Batteries were posted. Also the illuminated sign at the fire hall was used to remind the community of COVID 19 Safety, Fire Prevention and CO Aware- ness weeks, restricted fire zones and holiday fire safety.
DONATIONS
We were fortunate to receive from North Bay Fire and Emergency Services a SPARKY SUIT that they declared surplus. We hope to make good use of the suit at events pro- moting fire prevention.
The Marten River Volunteer Fire fighting Team Association has donated embroidered fire department patches for members dress shirts. This donation is much appreciated and completes the professional look. Thanks to Fire Fighter J. McKenzie for getting the patches hot pressed onto the sleeves.
Temagami Community Foundation presented the Marten River Fire Department with $4,500.00 to be used to purchase two complete sets of bunker gear and boots. We so much appreciate this donation .
A Huebsch front load washer/ extrac- tor and PPE and turnout gear cleaner was purchased through the Commu- nity Foundations of Canada Emergency Community Support Fund. A big thanks to The Temagami Community Foundation and the Municipal office for their efforts in securing this grant.
Local COVID 19 response Thanks to the Marten River Community for following the regulations and only going out for essential needs. Thanks to the many commu- nity members who are shopping, baking and generally looking out for our seniors. Our prayers go out to members of the community that are essential workers. We thank you for the services you provide.
Page 52 of 119 CONCERNS AND FOCUS
Pumper Truck . Quotes for a new pumper/tanker are being submitted by our suppliers. It is our hope that by using reserve funds enough can be added to the MRFD capital budget to replace the 1992 Spartan Pumper by the end of 2021.
Fire Fighter Certification. Although Regulation 379/18 has been rescinded fire fighter certification requirements are still coming. The OFMEM, OAFC and OAFF are continuing to work on a model for change. Finding candidates willing to dedicate so much of their precious time to reach the goal of certification will be difficult. Also the availa- bility of good inexpensive, flexible on line training has to be addressed. Considerable amount of money will need to be added to the budget to allow for fire fighter training, accommodations and travel.
Helipad. We hope to begin work on this project soon as moving the helipad and receiving the ability to light it for night time landing is important to the Marten River Community. COVID 19 restrictions brought this project to a stand still.
Assessable bathrooms. This is and item that the community has deemed important and that we would like very much to move ahead with. All possible avenues for funding should be researched.
Fire Prevention initiatives for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms must continue especially due to the distances citizens are from the fire hall and the fact that this department does no interior attach or rescue.( see :standard response cover) This fire department is currently using some social media platforms to articulate fire prevention and education messages. Pandemic restrictions are halting all in persons education.
Wildland Fires All indicators are that climate change is creating a new normal in wildland fires. We are concerned that residents have become complacent about keeping the area’s around their buildings clear of leaves and debris, removing dead trees and junk. Creating a barrier around cottage properties ,improving road accesses and access to a water source greatly improves the fire department’s ability to aid in a wild fire situation. This departments members have completed the Wildland Fire Fighting training but the pandemic has not allowed for it to follow through on plans for more Community Education Programs.
Training This fire department will continue to work to train to maintain the best possible level of skill and SAFETY for it’s members. Programs to get Fire fighters compliant with NFPA 1001 will have to be put in place. Being proac- tive.
SOP/SOG We continue to work to complete, update and maintain operating guidelines.
COVID19 In this ever changing environment it is important to continue working with the Emergency Operations Control Group and Committees to provide the information that the municipal departments, community mem- bers, businesses etc. all need to stay abreast of all the safety precautions and to address the communities needs. Thanks to Councilor Leudke for taking the lead during this emergency.

FEBRUARY 2021 MONTHLY REPORT
TRAINING Feb 1st Kelly Hearn presented and trained fire fighters in the use of the Dixon Cordless Disinfectant sprayer. That was purchased by the municipality using funds received from TC Energy. Deputy Chief/Trainer Siegner led training on Fire Extinguishers using the OSHA video and power point. Using “The Jump seat” online video that highlighted Code 4‘s Jason Defosse, members learned his “10 moves of Doom”. These are his 10 signature moves using Hurst edraulic equipment that quickly create space to facilitate extrication of the patient.
Feb 8th Members worked on practical applications of Ropes and Knots
Feb.22nd At the monthly maintenance meeting fire fighters fueled and washed all trucks, swept the fire hall, changed the message on the illuminated sign and installed the washing machine on its base and hooked up the water lines. INCIDENTS Feb.22nd The department was dispatched to a fire involving a Kubota ATV at a residence on Hwy 11. The vehicle had completely burned and mostly self-extinguished. The vinyl siding on the exposed garage was badly damaged by the heat. The siding and soffit materials were removed to insure fire had not moved to this exposure. The TIC and Heat detector were used to insure there were no hot spots in the garage walls.
Feb.23rd MRFD responded to a MVC involving two tractor trailers and downed powerlines. Fire fighters controlled the scene, set out Emergency Scene Ahead signs, flares and cones, contacted Hydro One, checked for leaking fluids and Hazardous Material placards and directed alternating traffic at request of OPP.
OTHER ACTIVIITIES
On Feb 2nd Fire Chief Elliott took part in the (Pac 7) ZOOM meeting with the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs. Chiefs were concerned about the closure of the Ontario Fire College without having been consulted. The OFM has however agreed to work with the OAFC on next steps. The closing message is that OAFC believes that to make any progress on ensuring attainable,
Page 54 of 119 accessible and affordable training for the ENTIRE fire service we must unite with ONE MESSAGE and ONE VOICE. Fire chief Elliott attended the Emergency Operations Control committee on COVID19 meetings via ZOOM on Feb 4th and 18th. Fire Chief Elliott attended the Municipality of Temagami’s Regular council meeting on Feb.11. Changes to the fire department’s establishing and regulating bylaws were presented. A donation of a Dixon cordless disinfectant sprayer was facilitated by TC Energy.

RECOMMENDATION
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council receive the report from the Treasurer/Administrator dated March 25, 2021.
INFORMATION
Asset Management Earlier it was reported that by July 1, 2021, we are required to have our updated asset management plan for core infrastructure posted to the website. Due to the pandemic, the Province has altered this deadline to July 1, 2022. Regardless, Staff are proceeding with our original schedule.
We has also noted that we were to have training on the Balance program on March 15th. Due to our system being down that morning, this has been rescheduled to March 30th.
Budget A condensed budget commentary, with links to the budget document presented to Council on March 10th, was posted to our website, facebook page and sent via communicate with the request that comments be received by March 31st.
Community Safety and Well-Being Plan Due to our OPP Detachment affiliation, we have been included in the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan development headed up by the Timiskaming DSSAB. A request for proposal is being issued to search for a consultant to lead this process.
Temagami North Infiltration We have been working with OCWA to develop a strategy to reduce the water infiltration into the sanitary system in Temagami North. When it is dryer in the summer there will be smoke tests completed to pinpoint areas were sump pumps or down spouts have been connected to the sanitary sewer system rather than using the storm sewer and ditch system. We are also considering different ways to determine the level of infiltration into the sanitary sewer system from the different manholes, especially in low laying areas.
Determining where infiltration is occurring and then taking appropriate steps to limit this is key to further residential development in Temagami North. Without this step, we would most likely be looking at steps to enlarge our lagoon or other, more costly, treatment measures before adding more lots to any proposed developments.
Vaccination Clinic Timiskaming District Public Health Unit has established vaccination clinics with regular hours in Englehart, Kirkland Lake, and Temiskaming Shores. Elsewhere in their coverage area, facilities are being used to reach those individuals who are not able to travel to one of the ‘regular’ clinics. Appointments have been scheduled for a clinic to be hosted at the Temagami Arena on March 31st. This clinic is predominately for people over the age of 80.
Page 57 of 119 Updates The meeting with Northern Development and Mines to discuss Sherman Mine Tenure has been scheduled for April 8th.
The Official Plan Amendment and the Zoning By-Law Amendment that have been worked on will be presented at our next meeting by the Planners. As soon as we receive drafts of these amendments we will circulate to Council to provide adequate time for review and formulation of questions. Our Planners are expected to be in attendance at the next meeting.

Temagami North Drinking Water System - 2020 Annual Summary Report
2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE DRINKING WATER SYSTEM The Temagami North Drinking Water System is owned by The Corporation of the Municipality of Temagami. OCWA is the Operating Authority of the Water Treatment and Distribution Systems. This subject system is not interconnected to any other drinking water systems owned by different owners. The intake pipe for the Temagami North water treatment plant is located approximately 165 m off the west shore of Net Lake at 10 m below the low water level of the lake. The raw water is directed by gravity via a 222 m long, 250 mm diameter intake pipe to a low lift pumping station consisting of a wet well and two submersible low lift pumps, each rated at 3.8 L/s (328 m3/day). These pumps are controlled by the systems PLC (programmable logic controller) and discharge to the two BCA Pre- Fabricated package treatment plants. The BCA plants each consist of a flash mixing chamber, flocculation tank, two clarification chambers, and two deep dual media filters (sand/anthracite). Aluminum sulphate and polymer are added for the coagulation/flocculation process, sodium carbonate for pH adjustment and sodium hypochlorite for disinfection. All chemicals are added using metering pumps. The plant is equipped with an automated monitoring system that records various components of the process including system flows and chemical dosages. The treated water is directed to two of the three clearwells, which have a combined capacity of 268.9 m3. The two high lift pumps direct the treated water into the distribution system, which is equipped with a standpipe known as the North Tower. The standpipe has a total storage capacity of 732 m3 and helps to maintain water pressure within the system. Alarmed chlorine and turbidity monitoring systems are in place to ensure the water is of acceptable quality before entering the distribution system. Filter backwashes are initiated by head loss, turbidity levels, time and manually by the operator. The backwash wastewater and sedimentation sludge is directed to a drainage system that leads to the Municipal sanitary sewer system for disposal. A back up 80 kW diesel generator with automatic start is located in a nearby sewage pumping station and is available to provide emergency power for the entire facility in the event of a power interruption. Classified as a Large Municipal Residential Drinking Water System, Temagami North has approximately 218 service connections serving an estimated population of 300 residents.
3.0 WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS USED The following chemicals were used in the Temagami North treatment process: • Aluminum Sulphate (Alum) - Coagulation/Flocculation • Polyelectrolyte (Polymer) - Coagulant Aid • Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash) – pH and Alkalinity Adjustment • Sodium Hypochlorite - Primary Disinfection All treatment chemicals are NSF/ANSI approved.
4.0 SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES INCURRED • New turbidity meters for filters 1 and 2 • Alum panel and chemical feed system
All routine maintenance functions were accomplished through OCWA’s comprehensive Workplace Management computerized work order system.

Temagami North Drinking Water System - 2020 Annual Summary Report
5.0 NOTICES REPORTED TO THE SPILLS ACTION CENTER
Incident #1 – Loss of Coagulant (AWQI #151460) Date August 19th to 20th Details Loss of coagulant due to one of the alum pumps no longer being functional. It is not known when the pump died because it did not alarm or stop the plant because it only alarms if it fails. The pumps were fine on August 18th at 16:00 hrs when the operator left the plant but upon returning on August 20th around 09:00 hrs the pump was no longer working. Turbidity levels were slightly elevated from August 19th at 00:30 hrs until the issue was discovered on August 20th, which suggests that the pump may have died then. Note: there are two pumps that cycle back and forth, feeding the coagulant into both trains (filters) so coagulant was still being added every other cycle and therefore there was not a complete loss of coagulant. Corrective Action Operator put MP-9 pump in manual off so that the plant will run solely on pump MP-10 as its coagulation feed pump. Operator verified that if MP-10 fails the plant will shut down and call out. Three distribution samples were taken and the distribution system was flushed at the end of the system and at dead ends. A backwash was also completed on both filters. Filter turbidity trends and CT triggers were reviewed- all okay. OCWA will look into getting; a spare pump to keep on site, third party flow switches and a new chemical pump. Lab Results: No total coliforms or E.coli detected on any of the three distribution samples.
Incident #2 – Watermain Break (AWQI #153341) Date December 29, 2020 Details Watermain break, caused by deterioration, was repaired on December 29, 2020. Boil Water Advisory issued by the Timiskaming Health Unit because there was a possibility of contamination while the repair was being done. Corrective Action The watermain was repaired and the affected area flushed on December 30th at 00:00 hrs. The first set of 3 microbiological samples then taken. The second set of required microbiological samples was taken on December 31st. All results good and BWA lifted on January 1st, 2020.

Additional Testing Performed in Accordance with a Legal Instrument
No additional sampling and testing was required for the Temagami North Drinking Water System during the 2020 reporting year.
8.0 REQUIREMENTS THE SYSTEM FAILED TO MEET
Requirement Failure #1 – Rated Capacity Exceedance Legislation Municipal Drinking Water License # 201-102 Requirement(s) the A maximum volume of 328 m3 of treated water may enter the distribution System Failed to Meet system in one day. Details: The total daily flow was 340 m3 on June 18th, 329 m3 on July 4th and 329 m3 on July 5th which exceeds the limit in the MDWL. The flow exceedances are most likely from increased usage in the community during hot weather events. Corrective Action Maximum daily flows returned to normal the next day and were under the limit for the rest of the month. Maximum flow volumes continue to be monitored. The plant will be programed to shut down when the total flow gets close to the limit. Status In-Progress
Requirement Failure #2 - Failure to meet log removal credits Legislation Municipal Drinking Water License # 201-102 Requirement(s) the Records did not indicate that the treatment equipment was operated in a System Failed to Meet manner that achieved the design capabilities required under Ontario Regulation 170/03 the Municipal Drinking Water Licence. Details: For the period of time from 12:30 am on August 19 to 9:30 am on August 20, 2020 coagulant was only being dosed on every second pump cycle as one of the pumps stopped working. Therefore, for that period of time the filters failed to meet item 1 of the conventional filtration criteria noted above and did not receive log removal credits. Corrective Action OCWA - has ordered one new chemical panel for alum. All chemical panels (14) will be replaced over time to prevent the same issue from happening to the other chemical panels (currently they are all the same). Status In-Progress

Temagami North Drinking Water System - 2020 Annual Summary Report
Requirement Failure #3 – Loss of Continuous Monitoring
Legislation Ontario Regulation 170/03 Requirement(s) the Continuous monitoring equipment that was being utilized to fulfill O. Reg. System Failed to Meet 170/03 requirements was not performing tests for the parameters with at least the minimum frequency specified in the Table in Schedule 6 of O. Reg. 170/03 and/or was not recording data with the prescribed format. Details: There were two short periods of time on April 8, 2020 (i.e. 51 minutes and 52 minutes) when the free chlorine residual value was not being continuously recorded and water was being distributed. The incident occurred due to a problem with the chlorination system causing a spike in the free chlorine residual level in the treated water above the upper range for the continuous monitoring equipment (i.e. 5.0 mg/L). During this time the free chlorine residual trend flat lined at 5.0 mg/L with the exact free chlorine residual test result not been recorded until the residual value was within the analyzer range (i.e. 0.00-5.00 mg/L) . Corrective Action On November 12, 2020, a high level free chlorine residual alarm set point of 4.9 mg/L was programmed and will trigger a plant shutdown if activated. The standard operating procedure for responding to a free chlorine residual alarm was amended to include the requirement for the operator to manually test and record the free chlorine residual in treated water every 5 minutes if the level is at or above the alarm set point of 3.9 mg/L and water is being sent to the distribution system. Status Resolved

Temagami North Drinking Water System – 2020 Annual/Summary Report
Flow Monitoring
Municipal Drinking Water Licence (MDWL) #201-102 requires the owner to install a sufficient number of flow measuring devices to permit the continuous measurement and recording of:
• the flow rate and daily volume of water conveyed from the treatment system to the distribution system, and
• the flow rate and daily volume of water conveyed into the treatment system.
The Temagami North drinking water system has three flow meters as listed in the MDWL; two installed to monitor raw water entering each package treatment plant and one installed to monitor treated water entering the distribution system. Flow metering devices were calibrated in accordance to manufacturers’ specifications on an annual basis and are operating as required.
Comparison of the Rated Capacity & Flow Rates
Temagami North Drinking Water Systems’ Permit to Take Water (PTTW) #4505-issued October 26, 2017 allows the Municipality of Temagami to withdraw water at a maximum flow rate of 456 L/minute and a maximum total daily volume of 460 m3/day from Net Lake. PTTW #4505-AS3NUQ also allows flow rate exceedances to occur during pump start up if they last less than five minutes.
The maximum raw volume was exceeded once on December 29th due to a watermain break; this is considered maintenance and not a violation of the Permit. The maximum raw flow rate was not exceeded at all during 2020 except for momentary spikes on plant start up which are not representative of actual flows. Only actual values are depicted in the above tables.
Schedule C, Section 1.1 of the Municipal Drinking Water License requires that the maximum daily volume of treated water that flows to the distribution system not exceed 328 m3/day. This rate was exceeded on three occasions due to increased consumer usage in hot weather; the total daily flow on June 18th was 340 m3, 329 m3 on July 4th and 329 m3 on July 5th. The maximum volume was also exceeded on December 29th due to a watermain break but this is considered maintenance and not a violation of the License.
The following table and graph compare the average and maximum flow rates into the distribution system to the approved rated capacity of the system as identified in the MDWL.

Temagami South Drinking Water System - 2020 Annual Summary Report
2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE DRINKING WATER SYSTEM
The Temagami South Drinking Water System is owned by The Corporation of the Municipality of Temagami. The Ontario Clean Water Agency is the Operating Authority of the Water Treatment and Distribution systems. This subject system is not interconnected to any other drinking water systems owned by different owners.
Located on Lakeshore Road, the Temagami South treatment plant obtains its source water from Lake Temagami. The water is drawn through a 20 m long, 200 mm diameter intake pipe that extends from a submerged intake structure 5.7 m below the average water level. The intake pipe directs water by gravity to a low lift pumping station consisting of a wet well and two submersible low lift pumps, each rated at 11 L/s (950 m3/day). These pumps are controlled by the treatment systems’ PLC and discharge to the two package plants located within the WTP. The treatment systems are two different package plants. One is a BCA Pre-Fabricated package treatment plant which operates automatically and the other is a Neptune Microfloc “Trident” package treatment plant which operates manually. Each plant provides chemically assisted filtration through coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation and filtration operations. Aluminum sulphate and polymer are added to the raw water upstream of the static mixer for the coagulation/flocculation process. Sodium carbonate is injected for pH adjustment and sodium hypochlorite is used for disinfection. All chemicals are added using two metering pumps. The plant is equipped with an automated monitoring system that records various components of the process.
The filtered water is then directed to two clearwells having a total capacity of 280.68 m3. Two high lift pumps rated at 916 m3/day direct finished water to the distribution system and an elevated tower, which maintains pressure to the distribution system. Alarmed chlorine and turbidity monitoring systems are in place to monitor water quality leaving the treatment facility.
Filter backwashes are initiated by head loss, turbidity levels, and timer or manually by the operator. Filter backwash and clarifier waste are stored in a wastewater holding tank before being pumped to the Municipal sewer system for disposal.
For emergency purposes, a 60 kW diesel generator set is available to provide emergency power to the entire facility in the event of a power outage.
Temagami South is classified as a Large Municipal Residential Drinking Water System and has 182 service connections serving a nominal population of 350 residents. The distribution system is equipped with an elevated storage reservoir known as the “South Tower” which has a working storage capacity of 570 m3 and assists with maintaining water pressure in the system.
3.0 WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS USED The following chemicals were used in the Temagami South Drinking Water System treatment process:
• Aluminum Sulphate (Alum) – Coagulation/Flocculation • Polyelectrolyte (Polymer) - Coagulant Aid • Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash) – pH and Alkalinity Adjustment • Sodium Hypochlorite – Disinfection
All treatment chemicals are NSF/ANSI approved.

Temagami South Drinking Water System - 2020 Annual Summary Report
Flow Monitoring
Municipal Drinking Water Licence (MDWL) #201-101 requires the owner to install a sufficient number of flow measuring devices to permit the continuous measurement and recording of:
• the flow rate and daily volume of water conveyed from the treatment system to the distribution system, and
• the flow rate and daily volume of water conveyed into the treatment system.
The Temagami South drinking water system has a total of four flow meters as listed in the MDWL; two installed to monitor raw water entering the treatment plant and one installed to monitor treated water entering the distribution system, the fourth one is to measure backwashes. Flow metering devices were calibrated in accordance to manufacturers’ specifications on an annual basis and are operating as required.
Comparison of Summary to the Rated Capacity & Flow Rates
Temagami South DWS’ Permit to Take Water (PTTW) #4505-AS3NUQ issued October 26 2017 allows the Municipality of Temagami to withdraw water at a maximum flow rate of 700 L/minute and a maximum total daily volume of 1006 m3/day from Lake Temagami. PTTW #4505-AS3NUQ allows flow rate exceedances to occur during pump start up if they last less than five minutes.
The system stayed below both limits; the maximum volume taken from Lake Temagami was 280 m3/day and the maximum flow rate was 643 L/minute.
Schedule C, Section 1.1 of the MDWL requires that the maximum daily volume of treated water that flows to the distribution system shall not exceed 950 m3/day. This rate was not exceeded during the reporting period. The maximum recorded volume was 269 m3/day which represents approximately 28 % of the rated capacity.
The following table and graph compare the average and maximum flow rates into the distribution system to the approved rated capacity of the system as identified in the MDWL.

Dear Premier Ford:
RE: Capacity Limits for Restaurants in Stage 2 under the Reopening Ontario Act, 2020
On behalf of the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays, please be advised Council is striving to support their local businesses during this pandemic however, the uncertainty they face day to day as rules change have become overwhelming and onerous to these small businesses and something needs to change. With that said, Council at their last regular meeting on March 2, 2021 had a wholesome discussion regarding the challenges our businesses are facing. The following resolution is a result of those discussions:
"Resolution #S(b)/03/02/21
WHEREAS the Province of Ontario passed 0. Reg. 263/20, Rules for Areas in Stage 2 under the Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020;
AND WHERAS Schedule 2, Subsection 1(7) states that the total number of patrons permitted to be seated indoors in the establishment must be limited to the number that can maintain a physical distance of at least two metres from every other person in the establishment, and in any event cannot exceed 10 patrons;
AND WHEREAS restaurants throughout the Province are facing financial hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the amount of patrons being turned away is impacting the overall experience of the restaurants;
AND WHEREAS many restaurants fluctuate in size and would be able to accommodate more than 1O patrons, while maintaining a physical

AND WHEREAS the inequity of establishing a capacity limit of no more than 10 patrons for larger restaurants continues to impact the financial viability of the restaurants during this difficult time;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Corporation of Township of Lake of Bays hereby requests that the Provincial Government review and reconsider the capacity limits for restaurants across the Province be based on the size of the square footage of the seating area instead of a flat occupancy.
AND FURTHER THAT the concept of introducing capacity limits for other businesses listed in Schedule 2 of O.Reg 263/20 being impacted by the constant uncertainty of their operations during this pandemic including restaurants, personal care services, resorts, camps, fitness and recreational amenities, churches, etc. be considered while in lockdown status.
AND FURTHER THAT this motion be forwarded to the Premier, Doug Ford, Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit and all Ontario municipalities."

WHEREAS Bill 197 establishes a dangerous precedent that could be expanded to other types of development;
WHEREAS Bill 197 compromises municipal autonomy and the authority of municipal councils to make informed decisions in the best interest of their communities and municipal taxpayers; and

Motion respecting Homelessness, Mental Health and Addiction in Niagara Minute Item No. 5.1
Regional Council, at its meeting held on February 25, 2021, approved the following resolution from its Public Health and Social Services Committee: WHEREAS Niagara Region prides itself as being a caring and compassionate community that continually strives to be a place where people want to live, work and play; WHEREAS providing access to safe, adequate and affordable housing for everyone is fundamental to achieving that goal; WHEREAS Niagara Region acknowledges that mental health, mental illness, addiction and homelessness, while important issues, are not homogenous, interchangeable or consistently interconnected, and doing so may over simplify exceptionally complex issues that require targeted policy solutions and intervention; WHEREAS Niagara Region’s 10-year Housing and Homelessness Action Plan (HHAP), A Home For All, outlines the Region’s vision, challenges, and the actions required to achieve its goals; WHEREAS Niagara Region has embarked on an ambitious effort to end chronic homelessness through participation in the national Built for Zero campaign; WHEREAS Regional Council formally adopted Mental Health and Wellbeing (2.2) and Addressing Affordable Housing Needs (2.3) as strategic priorities for the current term of our Council; WHEREAS a recent KPMG report commissioned by Niagara Region indicated that Council invests more levy funding than its peers into homelessness, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to addressing the issue; WHEREAS Niagara Region acknowledges that people living in shelters are part of the crisis and not the solution; WHEREAS Niagara Region has two planned housing projects that would directly address those in Niagara who experience chronic homelessness;
Page 108 of 119 Motion Respecting Homelessness, Mental Health and Addiction in Niagara March 4, 2021 Page 2
WHEREAS the implementation plan for Council’s strategic objectives states that staff will identify gaps within the mental health system to increase the functionality and collaboration within it; WHEREAS the same implementation plan directed staff to partner with Ontario Health (formally the LHIN) to review the local landscape to identify opportunities, including new investment; WHEREAS the treatment and supports for mental illness, addiction, and homelessness are predominantly funded and directed by the Province; WHEREAS the success of the Region’s Housing and Homelessness Action Plan is dependent on a commitment of sustained and increased funding (both operational and capital) from all levels of government to address the issues of housing insecurity and homelessness in Niagara; and WHEREAS the needs of the community far outweigh Niagara Region’s available resources and funding required to effectively address these issues, and the support of both the Provincial and Federal governments are needed to meet these needs.

The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queen's Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A1
Dear Premier Ford, Re: Colour Coded Capacity Limits
At its meeting held on March 1, 2021, Sarnia City Council discussed the challenges local businesses are facing with respect to the colour coded system within the Province’s COVID-19 Response Framework. The following motion was adopted:
That Sarnia City Council strongly advocate to the Province of Ontario that they adjust the capacity limits for dining, restaurants, sporting and recreational facilities, places of worship, event centers, and all retail/small businesses as part of the colour coded system.
The following rationale was provided with the introduction of the motion:
The red zone currently only allows 10 people indoors at a dining or a sporting / recreational facility (regardless of the size), places of worship are capped at 30% or 50 people, and retail / small business is limited to a 50% capacity. These businesses and organizations have heavily invested in facility improvements and expensive upgrades to ensure safe social distancing and have all the appropriate safety and protection measures in place. Businesses in particular cannot properly plan under the current uncertainty and that means the loss of jobs and income for both workers and owners as well as mental health challenges.
Page 112 of 119 Indoor capacity limits for restaurants, dining, sporting / recreational facilities, event centers, retail / small business, and places of worship should not involve arbitrary numbers (regardless of size), but instead be changed to the amount of people per facility which ensures that strict and safe social distancing can be maintained.
Sarnia City Council has requested that all municipalities in Ontario join this advocacy effort.
On behalf of Sarnia City Council, I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Amy Burkhart Acting City Clerk

Memorandum to Council
Subject: Notice of Motion – Councillor Youngs Agenda Date: March 25, 2021 Attachments:
RECOMMENDATION
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council form an ad hoc Committee chaired by Councillor Youngs to review and report on the Memorial Park.
INFORMATION
At the last Regular Session of Council, Councillor Youngs gave notice of intent to bring a motion forward designed to form an ad hoc committee to examine the Memorial Park proposal and bring recommendations forward.
One item that may be relevant is that at the last Regular Session, Council also rebranded the Recreation Events Committee as a Recreation Working Group that was tasked with reviewing all of our present and potential recreational offerings and provide recommendations to Council regarding the formation of a recreation strategy. The understanding is that Councillor Youngs and Councillor Shymko are presently in the Group. While there may be different people involved in reviewing different aspects of our recreation facilities, events and activities, this work may already have been assigned to the Recreation Working Group which, as tasks are assigned, could be assigned to Councillor Youngs to lead by this Group.
Whatever decision Council makes, Council should ensure there is forward momentum in developing a recreation strategy as recommended in the Service Delivery Review.

Memorandum to Council
Subject: Notice of Motion – Deputy Mayor Dwyer Agenda Date: March 25, 2021 Attachments:
RECOMMENDATION
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council grant permission for the 50 Foot Canoe Project to use the arena for construction for the period from April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021;
AND FURTHER THAT the normal fees associated with arena floor rental be waived.
INFORMATION
At the last Regular Session of Council, Deputy Mayor Dwyer gave notice of intent to bring a motion forward designed to provide use of the arena for the construction of the 50 Foot Canoe for the period noted in the recommendation.
The arena is also being used, from time to time, as a temporary vaccination delivery location by Timiskaming Public Health Unit. The understanding is that the canoe can be moved out of the way on the arena floor that would accommodate use of the facility for vaccination days although on those days there would be no work on the canoe project.
Another concern that has been raised is amount of dust that may be created in this project. Council could request that dust suppression and containment measures be taken when necessary during this project.
While we are not expecting to hear until May on the grant request made for insulation and ventilation improvements, should approval be received, the timing of this project would need to be coordinated with the canoe project.
Council did in November, consider and passed resolution (20-366) by Council providing Staff the authority to make arrangements with Living Temagami for the use of the Temagami Community Centre for the year 2021, at no charge, working within public health guidelines. Should Council provide use of the arena for the Canoe project, resolution 20-366 could still stand although the uses may be restricted to those that can be accommodated with the canoe moved out of the way. Council could also rescind resolution 20-366 and direct Staff to advise Living Temagami that the arena will not be available due to the construction project.
While any public gatherings in the summer of 2021 are still doubtful given the pandemic, in previous years the arena was also used to host the Kimmy-Tracey Memorial Ball Tournament and the Temagami First Nations Pow-Wow.
The end of the rental period should coincide with the creation of the recreation strategy which would also include future uses of the arena.
Council should note that the rental fee established for the arena floor without ice is $500 per day.
