Motion and Resolution Board meeting of March 20, 2012 Solidarité Cornwall Background Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) obtained its designation under Ontario’s French Language Services Act . This designation for Cornwall Community Hospital stems from a directive set by the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care when the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital and the Cornwall General Hospital were amalgamated to create the Cornwall Community Hospital. Consequently, Cornwall Community Hospital is required by law to provide services in both official languages (English/French) to the community. The municipality of South Stormont has decided to not honour its financial commitment towards the expansion of the hospital as long as CCH’s hiring policy is not modified. Citizens have expressed their opposition to both the French Language Services Act and the designation it confers to the Cornwall Community Hospital. The Cornwall and surrounding region has a francophone population that makes up 30% of the total population. Resolution WHEREAS French and English are the official languages of Canada since the adoption of the 1969 Official Languages Act ; WHEREAS the Ontario legislature unanimously adopted the French Language Services Act in 1986, designating bilingual regions and public service agencies; WHEREAS access to health services in one’s own language is a decisive factor in the quality of services; WHEREAS The Francophone Assembly of Ontario adopted a position on March 6, 2012 supporting the francophone community in its struggle to maintain services in French; WHEREAS Cornwall’s francophone community has distinguished itself in supporting the creation of a Monument de la francophonie in Lamoureux Parc; WHEREAS Hôpital Montfort has a constitutional responsibility, bestowed by the Ontario Court of Appeals on December 7, 2001, to promote the French language, disseminate francophone culture and build solidarity among the Franco-Ontarian community in order to prevent any form of assimilation; WHEREAS the theme of the 15th anniversary of the historic rally of March 22, 1997, which saw over 10 000 people gather at the Ottawa Civic Centre, is the ‘celebration of Franco-Ontarian solidarity’; Resolution It is moved by Mr. Bernard Grandmaître, seconded by Mrs. Mona Fortier, that the board of Hôpital Montfort publicly support, via media release and visibility on its website, the community of Cornwall and surrounding region, as well as express our solidarity in maintaining the respect of its language rights and access to health services in French; That the Montfort board congratulates and supports Cornwall Community Hospital in its determination to maintain access and its on-going efforts to improve the quality of French-language health services. Motion carried unanimously .

Asset Management Plan Roads, Bridges and Structural Culverts, Water Distribution, Sanitary Collection, Water and Sewage Treatment Plants Prepared For
Asset Management Plan Roads, Bridges and Structural Culverts, Water Distribution, Sanitary Collection, Water and Sewage Treatment Plants Prepared for: The Township of South Stormont 2 Mille Roches Road, P.O. Box 84 Long Sault, ON K0C 1P0 Prepared by: Phil Whelan, P.Eng. McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. 115 Walgreen Road Carp, ON K0A 1L0 December 11, 2013 Executive Summary The Township of South Stormont recognizes that in order to sustain services for its residents and for the competitiveness of its businesses, agriculture and industry, it must manage the Township’s assets cost effectively. McIntosh Perry and Allan Chartered Accountants were commissioned by the Township to develop the Asset Management Plans for the Road Network, Bridges and Structural Culverts, Water Distribution System, Sanitary Sewer Collection System, as well as Sewage and Water Treatment Plants. The findings for individual infrastructure varied, as follows: The Road Network requires additional spending to avoid network deterioration and optimize its overall condition rating (Section 3.1). Significant spending has been done to replace the aging Bridge infrastructure, which is reflected in the average bridge age of 24 years. The Structural Culverts are slightly older with an average age of 29 years. Of note here is that during the next 30 years, a significant number of culverts will be coming up for renewal (Section 3.2). The Township’s Water Distribution System is holding strong, as an analysis of the age distribution and average remaining service life of the Township’s watermains shows that, although a portion of the system is in the later stages of its expected service life, none of the watermains will reach the end of their expected service life within the time forecasted by this report (Section 3.3).
