Executive Summary
Authorization
The preparation of this Engineer’s Report was authorized through two separate resolutions of the Council of the Municipality of South Bruce in response to Petitions filed for drainage works.
The first appointment, pertaining to the establishment of the Main Drain, was dated May 10, 2016. The second appointment, pertaining to the establishment of Branches ‘A’ and ‘B’, was dated October 11, 2016. Both from the Clerk for the Municipality of South Bruce in accordance with Section 4 of the Drainage Act.
Objective & Recommendations
The objective of this Report is to determine a drainage solution to alleviate the ponding that currently takes place following storm events and snowmelt within the watershed area, to provide a subsurface drainage outlet for properties within the watershed, and to enhance the quality of the stormwater leaving the watershed area.
This Report recommends the construction of a new closed Main Drain beginning at the property line near the east edge of Lot 19, Concession 10, proceeding westward to the southern boundary of Concession Road 10 E in the eastern half of Concession 10, Lot 18. The Main Drain then proceeds north across Concession Road 10 E and continues north, outletting to an existing channel in the northern part of the eastern half Lot 18, Concession 11, Municipality of South Bruce (Carrick Ward), County of Bruce.
Furthermore, this Report recommends the construction of a new open Branch ‘A’ beginning at the western property line of Lot 19, Concession 11, proceeding west to the existing channel in the northern part of Lot 18, Concession 11 and the construction of a new closed Branch ‘B’ beginning in the northern part of the bushed area on the property line bisecting Lot 18, Concession 10. The proposed Branch ‘B’ proceeds north to the southern boundary of Concession Road 10 E, outletting into the proposed Main Drain.

1.0 Request for Improvement and Petition for Drainage Works by Owners
This Report is being prepared in response to two appointments by the Municipality of South Bruce Council, dated May 11, 2016 and October 12, 2016, to investigate drainage issues on the properties of the petitioning landowners within the watershed, in accordance with Section 4 of the Drainage Act.
There were three Petitions submitted in relation to this project. The first Petition, dated April 22, 2016, was submitted by Myrtle Winters (Roll No. 2-139); owner of the east half of Lot 18, Concession 11 and Keith Dunstan (Roll Nos. 2-106, 2-110); owner of the east half of Lot 18, west part of Lot 19, and part of Lots 19 and 20, Concession 10. The second Petition, dated September 15, 2016, was submitted by Carl & Cheryl Russwurm (Roll No. 2-140); owner of Lot 19, Concession 11. The third Petition, dated October 4, 2016, was submitted by Paul & Judith Russwurm (Roll No. 2-105); owner of the west half of Lot 18, Concession 10.
2.0 Background Information
2.1 History
The watershed of the proposed Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 is not currently assessed to an existing municipal drain.
There is an existing private drainage system serving the M. Winters property (Roll No. 2- 139) and neighboring properties that flows from the Concession Road 10 E right-of-way, north to the existing watercourse in the northern part of Lot 18, Concession 11. This private system was stated by landowners to be approximately 60 years old and in poor condition, and that it was installed at too shallow a depth to accommodate subsurface drainage connections.
There is also an existing private drainage system serving the P. & J. Russwurm (Roll No. 2-105) and K. Dunstan (Roll No. 2-106) properties, beginning at the north edge of the wooded area approximately 300 m south of Concession Road 10 E, proceeding north and outletting into the Concession Road 10 E right-of-way.
Another existing private drainage system services the K. Dunstan (Roll No. 2-106) property in the northwestern part of Lot 19, Concession 10, outletting into the Concession Road 10 E right-of-way.

Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 March 2018
2.2 Existing Conditions
Surface ponding currently takes place following storm events and spring snowmelt in the low-lying areas within the watershed of the proposed Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018, particularly in the low-lying area in the southern part of Lot 18, Concession 11, and the low-lying area immediately east of the J. & P. Rogers property (Roll No. 2-107-01) on the K. Dunstan property (Roll No. 2-106).
There are two wooded wetland areas within the watershed. One located approximately 300 m south of Concession Road 10 E on Lot 18, Concession 10, and the second located approximately 400 m south of Concession Road 10 E on Lot 19, Concession 10.
Surface water from the watershed area south of Concession Road 10 E flows primarily overland towards the culvert crossing on Concession Road 10 E at the northern property line of Lot 18, Concession 10. There is considerable water storage available as a result of the wooded wetland areas located on Lot 18, Concession 10, and Lot 19, Concession 10. If the storage volume is exceeded, surface water will flow north towards the aforementioned culvert.
Surface water north of Concession Road 10 E flows both overland and via an existing private tile system towards an existing watercourse in the northern portion of Lot 18, Concession 11.
2.3 Watershed Area & Land Use
The total watershed area contributing to the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain is approximately 122.15 ha. This watershed area was delineated through the examination of topographic mapping contour data with computer aided drafting (CAD) software, the examination of surrounding municipal drain reports and field survey.
The Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 shares a contiguous watershed boundary with the following watersheds: The Diemert Municipal Drain to the south, east and west The Lerch Municipal Drain to the east.
Land use within the watershed is approximately divided as follows: 107.43 ha used for agricultural purposes 1.84 ha as roadways 11.81 ha as bush 1.07 ha as residential area.

Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 March 2018
2.4 Soils
The Bruce County Soils Map indicates that the predominant soil type within the watershed is Listowel Loam, with smaller areas of Harriston Loam and Muck soil.
Listowel Loam is a moderately stony soil with imperfect drainage, and smooth gently sloping topography. Harriston Loam is a moderately stony soil with good drainage, and moderately sloping topography. Muck soil is a stone free poorly draining soil composed of predominately decomposed organic material.
The soils within the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain watershed have an agricultural capability rating of Class 1 with no limitations in crop use.
3.0 Preliminary Investigations
3.1 On-Site Meeting
An On-Site meeting was held on June 16, 2016 on the M. Winters (Roll No. 2-139) property. The following were present at the meeting: Myrtle Winters Landowner (Roll No. 2-139) Carl Russwurm Landowner (Roll No. 2-140) Paul Russwurm Landowner (Roll No. 2-105) Jeff Rogers Landowner (Roll No. 2-107-01) Keith Dunstan Landowner (Roll No. 2-106, 2-110) Kirk Livingston Drainage Superintendent, Municipality of South Bruce Ed DeLay R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited George Guse R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited
The existing drainage conditions were discussed, and the landowners expressed interest in an improved outlet to the existing watercourse located in the northern part of Lot 18, Concession 11. It was determined from discussions at the meeting that the boundary of the watershed should be investigated.
Following a discussion regarding design options Myrtle Winters, Keith Dunstan, Paul Russwurm and Carl Russwurm all indicated that they would like an improved outlet for both subsurface and surface water drainage on their property.
Several feasible drain routes were discussed. Keith Dunstan indicated that he would prefer the Main Drain to extend to the eastern boundary of the J. & P. Rogers property (Roll No. 2-107-01). He also requested a review of some low areas on his property to determine which areas could be tiled and connected to the proposed Main Drain. Both Keith Dunstan and Paul Russwurm indicated that their existing private drainage systems do not have adequate outlet using the existing Concession Road 10 E surface culvert and private drainage systems to the north. Carl Russwurm indicated that he would like a

Municipality of South Bruce 4
Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 March 2018 drain outlet extended to his property line for under drainage. Additionally, Myrtle Winters indicated that she would like the existing private drain on her property replaced with a Municipal Drain. Attention was brought to the poor soil conditions in the low-lying areas, especially in the lower watershed. It was agreed among the attendees that, if feasible, these areas would be avoided for the final drain alignment.
The landowners agreed that a final report should be prepared and that a preliminary report would not be necessary.
As a result of the On-Site Meeting, it was determined that the primary purpose of this Report is to provide an improved drainage outlet and increased surface water capacity in comparison to the existing private drainage systems.
4.0 Validity of Petition
This Report has been prepared in accordance with an appointment under Section 4 of the Drainage Act.
The area requiring drainage for the Main Drain was determined by the Engineer at the On-Site meeting as part of Lot 18, Concession 11 and part of Lots 18, 19, and 20, Concession 10. The Petitions submitted are valid on the basis that all of the owners in the area requiring drainage have signed it, in accordance with Section 4 (1) (a) of the Act.
The areas requiring drainage for Branch ‘A’ and Branch ‘B’ were determined by the Engineer at the On-Site meeting as part of Lot 19, Concession 11 and part of Lot 18, Concession 10 respectively. The Petitions submitted is valid on the basis that all of the owners in the area requiring drainage have signed it, in accordance with Section 4 (1) (a) of the Act.
5.0 Environmental & Fisheries Considerations
When a new Engineer’s Report is prepared that could affect an existing open Municipal Drain, natural watercourse, wetland, or other environmental features, a review of the work is required and subsequent approvals and/or project requirements must be obtained from the applicable agency. These may include the local Conservation Authority (CA), Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).
5.1 Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority
The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) has been apprised of the project progression. An inquiry was made to the SVCA regarding the drainage of the wooded area between the P. & J. Russwurm property (Roll No. 2-105) and the K. Dunstan
R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited 300039137.0000 039137 Winters-Dunstan MD Report.docx
Municipality of South Bruce 5
Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 March 2018 property (Roll No. 2-106). The SVCA indicated that the area in question is a locally significant wetland, and therefore cannot be altered from its current condition. The area is currently serviced by a private catchbasin and tile system outletting to the southern right-of-way of Concession Road 10 E. The SVCA deemed it acceptable for a new catchbasin to be installed at the same inlet elevation as the existing structure.
5.2 Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry
A request for review of this project was submitted to the MNRF on April 11, 2017. Kathy Dodge, the reviewing biologist with the MNRF indicated that their primary species concerns in this area were for Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark and Snapping Turtles. She indicated that the MNRF is most concerned in work areas that interfere with hay fields and pasture land, and less concerned with areas that interfere with row crops. She mentioned that it would be ideal for work do be done outside of the breeding season window from May 1st to July 31st.
Following discussions with and investigation by Hannah Maciver, a terrestrial ecologist with R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited (Burnside), the following mitigation measures are proposed to avoid potential impacts to Species at Risk (SAR). Apply timing windows to avoid direct impacts to birds during the core breeding window (April 1st and August 31st). Conduct a nest survey just prior to removing vegetation (i.e., 1-3 days in advance). Should an active nest be found, all works will stop until the young have fledged from the nest. All works should be completed prior to the next breeding season (i.e., prior to April 1st). Ensure that the area of works is separated from the surrounding area to prevent species such as turtles from entering the active work area. Should any wildlife be found, all works will stop until the animal has been safely removed from the work area. If a SAR is found, consultation with MNRF may be required.
The proposed works will occur within active agricultural fields on 6 different properties. Of the 6 properties, 4 are considered hay and/or pasture; the remaining 2 are row crops or residential area. These fields will remain suitable for agricultural operation after the installation is completed. Therefore, the proposed works should not impact potential breeding bird habitat, as vegetation will regenerate prior to the next breeding season. No temporary or permanent impacts to SAR are expected.

5.3 Fisheries and Oceans Canada
The open portion of the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain is currently classed as a ‘Not Rated’ watercourse by DFO. As such, a request for review of this project was submitted to DFO on July 4, 2017.
DFO indicated that their main concerns pertained to mitigation measures in the open portion of the Municipal Drain. In response to the concerns from DFO, the following mitigation measures have been proposed: A 3 m grassed buffer strip is proposed in-between the open portion of the drain immediately adjacent to agricultural land. The substrate in the existing channel is proposed to be salvaged and placed in the channel following deepening. A sediment control structure and two sediment basins are proposed as part of the works.
Furthermore, an aquatic investigation was completed by Burnside aquatic ecologists Chris Pfohl and Matthew Moote, in response to concerns from DFO Fisheries Protection Biologist Megan Lay. DFO’s review of the drain was not possible without additional aquatic information as the existing channel is a natural watercourse. A technical memorandum was prepared and a copy is included in Appendix G.
No Federal Species at Risk have been identified within this drainage area that would require special consideration under the Species at Risk Act (SARA).
6.0 Design Criteria & Engineering Considerations
6.1 Drainage System Design & Sizing
The applicable sections of the Design and Construction Guidelines for Work under the Drainage Act, as prepared by the Government of Ontario, and the applicable sections of the Drainage Guide for Ontario, as published by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, are used for the design and construction of municipal drains.
Under these guidelines it is recommended to use a drainage co-efficient for the under- drainage requirements of cleared, worked, agricultural land and to consider an additional drainage co-efficient for the surface water requirements of all lands and roads within the watershed area. For this project a drainage co-efficient of 19.05 mm (0.75 inches) for under drainage requirements, and 19.05 mm (0.75 inches) for surface water requirements over a 24-hour period has been used.
Together, this produces a combined design co-efficient of 38.1 mm (1.5 inches) in 24 hours, and following discussion with the landowners, this co-efficient was selected as the design standard adopted for this project.

Municipality of South Bruce 7
Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 March 2018
The design of the closed portion of the drain also took into consideration the vertical freeboard to the channel bottom at the outlet into the channel of the existing watercourse.
6.2 Water Quality Considerations
The loss of sediment and nutrients from cropped land is a major concern to water quality in Ontario. Therefore, this design has incorporated several features to minimize these impacts including: Directional berms and rip-rap surrounding catchbasins to slow and pond surface water, allowing suspended soil particles and nutrients to fall out of suspension and remain on the soil surface. All catchbasins include a 300 mm deep sump to slow and encourage deposition of suspended soils at these locations. A permanent stilling basin shall be constructed at the outlet of the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018. Downstream of the stilling basin, a temporary sediment control structure constructed using filter socks and rock check dams shall be constructed to further enhance sediment deposition prior to exiting the construction zone. Both shall be constructed prior to the tile installation of the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018. One (1) infiltration basin including a 600 mm deep sump and perforated riser, designed to encourage surface water filtration through a layer of geotextile wrapped 19 mm dia. clear stone and a layer of geotextile wrapped pea gravel.
6.3 Soils Investigation
Trevor and Myrtle Winters indicated that poor soils are found in the low-lying area on Lot 18, Concession 11. The Main Drain was designed to avoid this area, allowing the use of a wheel trencher for tile installation.
Two test pits were dug on the east half of Lot 18, Concession 11 near the proposed drain alignment. Both test pits were dug to a depth of approximately 1.7 m and revealed a similar soil profile including:
Soil test pits No. 1 & 2: 0.0 m to 0.5 m Topsoil 0.5 m to 0.7 m Sand 0.7 m to 1.7 m Clay till with some gravel boulders

Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 March 2018
6.4 Camera Investigation
A camera investigation was completed to determine the condition of the existing private drainage system on the M. Winters property (Roll No. 2-139).
The condition of the existing private 250 mm dia. clay tile was investigated near Sta. 0+730. At this location, the tile was found to be nearly full of water due to the flat gradient. The tile did not appear to be conveying flow effectively at the time of this investigation.
The existing private 250 mm dia. clay tile transitioned to corrugated PDT near Sta. 0+480 and was again investigated at this location. The tile was flowing well at the time of this investigation. Upon camera inspection, substantial root penetration was encountered near Sta. 0+460.
The existing private tile was also investigated both upstream and downstream of two existing catchbasins located near Sta. 0+205 and Sta. 0+320. In both of these locations the tile was found to be a 250 mm dia. clay tile and the tile was flowing well at the time of the camera investigation.
The location of existing private tile connections were also observed during the investigation and noted for connection at the time of construction.
6.5 Utilities Investigation
A utilities investigation was undertaken during the design stage to determine possible elevation conflicts prior to construction. A telephone line was located on the Concession Road 10 E right-of-way, approximately 4 m north of the northern edge of pavement. Additionally, a fiber optic cable was located on the Concession Road 10 E right-of-way, approximately 1 m north of the northern edge of pavement. No other utilities were found within the proposed work area.
All public and private utilities shall be re-located by the Contractor prior to construction of the proposed Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018.
6.6 Material Selection
Material selections are typically made based on the lowest cost product that is also able to satisfy various engineering requirements. For example, non-reinforced concrete pipe is used in most scenarios, as it is the most cost-effective product available. However, road crossings require stronger pipe stiffness. As a result, high density polyethylene pipe (HDPE) is typically used underneath a gravel road right-of-way, as the pipe can be installed by an open cut method. On paved roads however, Smoothwall Welded Steel Pipe (SWWSP) is typically used as it can be installed via jack and bore method. This is

Municipality of South Bruce 9
Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 March 2018 done to avoid disturbing the pavement on the road, and also to avoid closure of the road. SWWSP has been specified for the Concession Road 10 E road crossing.
Catchbasins are typically specified with galvanized birdcage grates to increase inlet surface area. When debris build-up occurs during storm events this increased surface area allows surface water to enter the inlets as intended.
6.7 Installation Techniques
6.7.1 Topsoil Stripping
Prior to tile installation, the topsoil shall be stripped for the entire width of the wheel trencher, and stockpiled to be spread on top of the humped trench as the final step of restoration. This practice limits the loss of topsoil through mixing with subsoil and encourages a faster transition period for the area above the trench to previous crop productivity.
6.7.2 Wheel Trencher
A Wheel Trencher is typically specified for tile installation where soil conditions allow, as it is the most cost effective method of installation.
6.7.3 Alternate Installation Techniques
In areas of poor subsoil conditions where tile installation is not feasible with a Wheel Trencher, such as encountering a high water table or boulders, the drain may be installed using an excavator on clear crushed stone wrapped in geotextile to create a firm base for the tile. The tile will then be backfilled with select native material or backfilled with crushed stone to the top of the pipe (as specified by the Engineer based on site conditions). These techniques vary, depending on soil conditions and are specified accordingly.
6.7.4 Road and Laneway Crossings
Road crossings for Municipal Drain systems are typically installed by the jack and bore method for paved roads to leave the road surface intact, or by the open cut method for gravel roads.
The jack and bore method typically involves the excavation of a boring pit on one side of the road, where a boring machine turns an auger inside a steel casing, which is pushed across the road on a specified grade. The steel casing is then left in place to serve as the Municipal Drain crossing. The Concession Road 10 E crossing shall be completed using this method.

The open cut method requires excavation of the road to the elevation of the pipe and complete restoration following the pipe installation. The private laneway crossings shall be completed using this method.
7.0 Proposed Design
7.1 Information Meeting
An information meeting for the improvement was held on February 23, 2017 at the Municipality of South Bruce Council Chambers to discuss the proposed design of the drain, cost estimates and assessments. The following were present at the meeting: Myrtle Winters Landowner (Roll No. 2-139) Trevor Winters Landowner (Roll No. 2-138) Carl Russwurm Landowner (Roll No. 2-140) Paul Russwurm Landowner (Roll No. 2-105) Keith Dunstan Landowner (Roll No. 2-106, 2-110) Gary Pipe Drainage Superintendent, Municipality of South Bruce Tracy Grubb Municipality of South Bruce Ed DeLay R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited Jeff Dickson R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited Trevor Kuepfer R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited
The proposed design presented for the Main Drain included 225 m of channel works, 1,405 m of CDT and HDPE installation and a 26 m bored crossing beneath Concession Road 10 E. Additionally, four branch drains were proposed, consisting of 44 m of channel works and 424 m of CDT installation.
The watershed boundary, estimated costs, design and a general discussion on the allowances and assessments were reviewed with all of those in attendance. This meeting also served as the On-Site meeting for the branch petition drains.
Following this meeting, the Drainage Superintendent was available to the landowners not in attendance for information on the progress of the project.
7.2 Information Meeting No. 2
A second information meeting for the improvement was held on June 14, 2017 at the Municipality of South Bruce Council Chambers to discuss revisions to the proposed design of the drain, cost estimates and assessments.

The proposed design presented for the Main Drain included 225 m of channel works, 1,415 m of CDT and HDPE installation and a 26 m bored crossing beneath Concession Road 10 E. Two branch drains were also proposed, consisting of 54 m of channel works and 334 m of CDT installation. In comparison to the design presented at the first information meeting, two branches were removed from the proposal, at the request of the affected landowners.
Prior to this meeting, an inquiry was made to the SVCA regarding the draining of the wooded area on Lot 18, Concession 10. Regulations Officer Michelle Gallant stated that this area meets the criteria to be deemed a wetland and therefore it cannot be drained. She also indicated that this decision may be appealed by landowners.
The watershed boundary, estimated costs, revised design, allowances and assessments were updated based on the previous information meeting and discussed with all of those in attendance.
Following this meeting, the Drainage Superintendent was available to the landowners not in attendance for information on the progress of the project.

These direct connections will be completed at the time of construction of the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018, and shall be completed as specified for future connections in this Report.
7.8 Future Connections
After construction, private tile drains shall not be connected directly to the Municipal Drain tile unless approved by the Municipality. All future connections must be made at a plugged inlet provided in a precast concrete structure or an approved core drilled hole into the tile, with approved fittings and materials and/or in a manner acceptable to the Municipality.
Direct connections by the owners or their Contractors not approved by the Municipality or its Drainage Superintendent may be removed and at the expense of the owner of the land upon which the connection was made.
7.9 Engineer’s Report
The proposed works and costs contained herein are intended to reflect the requirements of the stakeholders and are based on information gathered during the field survey, as well as at the landowner meetings and follow up discussions. Details of the proposed work are described in this Report, its Appendices and on the Plan and Profile Drawings.
8.0 Description of Appendices
8.1 Appendix A – Allowances
8.1.1 General
In accordance with Section 8(1)(d) of the Act, this Appendix provides a summary of the allowances provided under Sections 29 and 30 of the Act. A breakdown of these Allowances is available upon request to affected landowners. Allowances will be deducted from total assessments in accordance with Section 62(3) of the Act. The land and crop values used for these calculations were determined based on recent land sales and a general understanding of these values within this geographic area, and are described in the following sections. The results of the allowance calculations under each Section of the Act can be seen within this Appendix. Details regarding working space can be found in the Special Provisions.

Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain 2018 March 2018
8.1.2 Section 29 – Right-of-Way
The Act states:
The engineer in the report shall estimate and allow in money to the owner of any land that it is necessary to use, (a) for the construction or improvement of a drainage works; (b) for the disposal of material removed from drainage works; (c) as a site for a pumping station to be used in connection with a drainage works; or (d) as a means of access to any such pumping station, if, in the opinion of the engineer, such right of way is sufficient for the purposes of the drainage works, the value of any such land or the damages, if any, thereto, and shall include such sums in the estimates of the cost of the construction, improvement, repair or maintenance of the drainage works R.S.O. 1990, s. 29.
A base value of $30,888 per hectare ($12,500 per acre) for workable, agricultural land has been used to calculate the right-of-way allowances provided in this Report. These allowances are generally provided to the properties where a right-of-way is required for a new open or closed drain.
The land value applied for the closed portion of the drain is reduced to one third of the base value for a 10 m width. The reduction to one third is on the basis that the land along and over the closed portions of the drain can continue to be used as cleared agricultural land.
A right-of-way allowance is also provided for access routes, where land value is reduced to one third, for a 6 m width, since it can still be used as agricultural land.
A base value of $15,444 per hectare ($6,250 per acre) for wooded areas has been used to calculate the right-of-way allowances provided in this Report. The land value applied for the open portion of the drain assumes the base value for a 6 m width for the channel, and one third of the base value for a 10 m working corridor alongside the channel and in addition to a 3 m grassed buffer alongside the channel. The reduction to one third is on the basis that the land next to the open portion of the drain can still be utilized following the construction of the drain. The 3 m grassed buffer alongside the channel is based on full land value due to restrictions placed on the use of the buffer.
No permanent buildings, structures or plantings will be allowed within the right-of-way, to allow for future maintenance of this Drain.

8.1.3 Section 30 – Damages
Section 30 of the Act states:
“The engineer shall determine the amount to be paid to persons entitled thereto for damage, if any, to ornamental trees, lawns, fences, lands and crops occasioned by the disposal of material removed from a drainage works and shall include such sums in the estimates of the cost of the construction, improvement, repair or maintenance of the drainage works R.S.O. 1990, c. D.17, s. 30”.
In this Report, a base value of $1,977 per hectare ($800 per acre) for workable, agricultural land has been applied to the calculation of the allowances as it may be necessary to damage lands during the construction of this drain. Complete loss of the crop was assumed for the year of construction for the specified width of the working space or area.
A 10 m working corridor was provided for the length of the channel to allow for the deepening and widening of the open drain and placement of spoil. A 20 m width was provided for the closed drain to allow for the installation of the tile drain, topsoil stripping, tile placement and travel along the drain. A minimum damage allowance of $300 was given to properties affected by minor construction activities on their properties; an example of this being the placement of a catchbasin on an upstream property line of the drain.
The construction of the drain along the proposed alignment will cause damages to a portion of the grassed area on the J. & P. Rogers property (Roll No. 2-107-01). Jeff and Penny Rogers requested that they be responsible to complete the restoration work of these disturbed areas following construction. Additional damage allowances were provided to the Rogers property and were calculated based on the estimated costs to complete the restoration work beyond the replacement of the existing topsoil.
8.2 Appendix B – Project Cost Estimate
In accordance with Section 8(1)(b) of the Act, this Appendix provides a breakdown of the total estimated cost of the proposed work, including all labour, materials, construction, engineering, administration and allowances.
8.3 Appendix C – Special Assessments
8.3.1 Section 26 – Special Assessment
Section 26 of the Act states that:
“In addition to all other sums lawfully assessed against the property of a public utility or road authority under this Act, and despite the fact that the

9.0 Maintenance
9.1 General
While the Municipality of South Bruce will be responsible for the maintenance of the drain after construction is complete, the sections of the Act dealing with obstruction of, damage, and injury to a Municipal Drain, namely Sections 80 and 82 respectively, are brought to the attention of the landowners. As can be seen from these Sections, both the landowners and the Municipality have responsibilities to ensure that a Municipal Drain is properly maintained and kept in good working condition.
The inlet structures should be inspected on a regular basis, prior to heavy rainfall events and spring snowmelt to ensure that ice and snow or other material have not obstructed the inlets. Landowners should assist with this maintenance activity by making regular inspections of the drain and inlet structures, clearing debris from the inlet structures in a timely manner and reporting any problems to the Municipality, so that the Drainage Superintendent can take proper action.

Standard Drain Specifications
General Drain Specifications - E.2.1 Specifications for Open Drains - E.2.2 Specifications for Closed Drains - E.2.3 Specifications for Road Crossing (Open Cut Method) - E.2.4 Specifications for Road Crossing (Boring Method) - E.2.5
Appendix E
E.2.1 GENERAL DRAIN SPECIFICATIONS
E.2.1.1 SCOPE OF SPECIFICATIONS This specification covers the general conditions governing the construction of a Municipal Drain under the most recent revision of The Drainage Act and amendments. All work shall be done in accordance with current and applicable Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications and Drawings (OPSS and OPSD).
E.2.1.2 BENCHMARKS Benchmarks shall be set at intervals along the course of the work at locations shown on the accompanying plan and/or profile. The Contractor or landowner shall be held liable for the cost of re-establishing benchmarks destroyed. Attention is drawn to Section 13 of The Drainage Act.
E.2.1.3 STAKES/FLAGS/MARKERS Stakes, flags or markers are typically set at intervals throughout the course of the work, at all fences and property lines. The Contractor or landowner shall be held liable for the cost of replacing any stakes removed or destroyed.
E.2.1.4 PROFILE The drain is to be excavated or installed to regular gradient lines as shown on the profile(s). These gradients show the bottom of the finished drain (open or closed) and are governed entirely by the benchmarks. In the case of closed drains, the gradient is that of the invert of the tile. The profile(s) shows the approximate depth from the surface of the ground to the invert of the tile or ditch bottom at the point where the stations are set and from the average bottom of the open drain as taken at the time of survey. Open drains shall be brought to an even gradient in the bottom to prevent standing water. For closed drains, a variation of 25 mm (unless specified otherwise) from the gradient may be deemed sufficient reason for the work to be rejected and required to be rebuilt.
E.2.1.5 CLEARING Clearing means the cutting of all standing trees, brush, bushes and other vegetation to a maximum height of 300 mm above original ground level as well as the removal of felled materials and windfalls. Trees measuring 150 mm or more in diameter shall be felled, delimbed, cut into lengths no longer than 4 m and stacked to the designated side of the working space. The work shall not damage or disturb the area outside the areas specified in the Contract Documents.
The work shall consist of clearing all areas of earth excavation, earth surfaces to be covered by embankments up to and including 1.2 m in height, and any other areas specified in the Contract Documents.
PAGE 1 OF 17 No trees, brush or bushes are to be left inside the slopes of the drain, whether they are located within the limits of the excavation or not. Brush cleared in accordance with the above shall be piled in a location and in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer for burning by the Owner. Unless otherwise specified or directed, these piles shall be a minimum of 100 m apart and shall contain only cleared material. All work shall be done in accordance with OPSS 201.
E.2.1.6 CLOSE CUT CLEARING Close Cut Clearing means the cutting of all standing trees, stumps, brush, bushes and other vegetation at original ground level and the removal of felled materials and windfalls. Grubbing means the removal of all stumps, roots, embedded logs, debris and secondary growth. Trees measuring 150 mm or more in diameter shall be felled, delimbed, cut into lengths no longer than 4 m and stacked to the designated side of the working space. The work shall not damage or disturb the area outside the areas specified in the Contract Documents.
The work shall consist of close cut clearing all earth surfaces to be covered by embankments greater than 1.2 m in height, and any other areas specified in the Contract Documents.
No trees, stumps, brush or bushes are to be left inside the slopes of the drain whether they are located within the limits of the excavation or not. Brush cleared in accordance with the above shall be piled in a location and in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer for burning by the Owner. Unless otherwise specified or directed, these piles shall be a minimum of 100 m apart and shall contain only cleared material. All work shall be done in accordance with OPSS 201.
E.2.1.7 BRUSHING Brushing means the grinding or chipping to ground level of vegetation in the working space under 150 mm in diameter by means of a hydraulic brushing attachment used with an excavator or approved equivalent. This includes grinding or chipping all standing trees, stumps, brush, bushes and other vegetation to original ground level.
Trees measuring 150 mm or more in diameter shall be felled, delimbed, cut into lengths no longer than 4 m and stacked to the designated side of the working space. The work shall not damage or disturb the area outside the areas specified in the Contract Documents. All work shall be done in accordance with OPSS 201.
E.2.1.8 GRUBBING Grubbing means the removal of all stumps, roots, embedded logs, debris and secondary growth.
PAGE 2 OF 17 The work shall consist of grubbing all areas of earth excavation, earth surfaces to be covered by embankments up to and including 1.2 m in height and any other areas specified in the Contract Documents.
Grubbing is not required in swamps. Mechanical stump cutters are permitted, provided the entire root structure is removed. Depressions remaining after grubbing shall be backfilled with suitable earth material and compacted to avoid settlement. When clearing has been previously completed by others, all secondary growth, brush and debris shall be removed.
Piled boulders and surface boulders that are not specified in the Contract Documents for removal and lie within areas to be grubbed shall be removed. The work shall not damage or disturb the area outside the areas specified in the Contract Documents. All work shall be done in accordance with OPSS 201.
E.2.1.9 REMOVAL OF SURFACE BOULDERS & REMOVAL OF PILED BOULDERS Piled Boulders means any cobbles, boulders or rock fragments that have been placed in fence rows or piles.
Rock means rock as defined in OPSS 206.
Surface Boulder means any boulder or rock fragment that measures 200 mm or greater in any one dimension, extends a minimum of 200 mm above original ground and can be removed without excavation.

The topsoil shall be stockpiled separately from any and all native soil and subsequently replaced over the mounded backfilled tile trench, as part of the work under the appropriate item. An extra payment will not be made for this stripping, stockpiling and replacing of topsoil.
Subsoil Conditions
Subsoil investigations have been undertaken on this project. Two test pits were dug on the M. Winters property (Roll No. 2-139) and no adverse subsoil conditions were discovered in this investigation. The Contractor shall tender the installation of the new pipe on the basis of using a wheel trencher; however, as specified in the Contingency Items, the Contractor shall provide additional unit prices for the installation of the pipe under both stony soil and poor trenching conditions with an excavator as detailed. The Contractor shall specify the additional installation cost for both specified under the associated contingency item.
All costs associated with the removal of the wheel trencher, due to large stones, stony and/or poor soil conditions, as required for continued pipe installation with the wheel trencher or as required for pipe installation with an excavator shall be included in the associated bid or contingency items. No extra payment will be made for the removal of the wheel trencher, crew downtime, or other costs for this transition.
Poor Trenching Conditions
If stony conditions are encountered during construction where, in the opinion of the Contractor, it is not feasible to use the wheel trencher, the Contractor shall immediately inform the Contract Administrator to obtain approval to switch to: Installation on a minimum depth of 150 mm of 19 mm dia. clear crushed stone (or approved equal). Installation on a minimum depth of 300 mm of 19 mm dia. clear crushed stone (or approved equal), wrapped in geo-textile. The Contractor shall then be paid the line item associated with this section and the additional installation cost specified under the associated contingency item. The Contractor shall keep a list of stations where these installation techniques were used, to be confirmed with the Contract Administrator on a daily basis. In instances where the installation method specified on-site by the Engineer exceeds the cost of the contingency methods bid, the Contractor shall provide unit pricing for the additional cost to the Contract Administrator/Engineer within one (1) working day.

1.0 Background
R.J. Burnside and Associates Limited (herein, Burnside) have been retained to complete the detailed design of the proposed works, the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain. As part of the Fisheries Act compliance process Burnside aquatic ecology staff performed a rapid aquatic habitat assessment of the existing watercourse on November 20, 2017 to supplement the detailed design drawings and Request for Review previously submitted by Burnside.
Burnside staff visited the site and performed the aquatic habitat assessment in order to assess and characterize the existing aquatic conditions of the watercourse. In addition to the site visit and reviewing the proposed works, Burnside staff conducted a review of historical records pertaining to the subject drain and local downstream watercourses. This memorandum is being submitted to provide an understanding of the existing aquatic conditions within the watercourse where the proposed works for the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain will be located in order to support the DFO Request for Review process.
2.0 Project Description
The proposed Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain consists of a tile drain network proposed to outlet to an existing watercourse, which is known as an unnamed tributary of the Saugeen River. The existing watercourse flows primarily from south to north from North of Concession 10 Road East. The proposed works for the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain involves the deepening of 200 m of watercourse starting at the tile drain outlet. It is proposed that the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain Technical Memorandum Page 2 of 9 Project No.: 300039137.0000 December 18, 2017
watercourse will be deepened a maximum of 1.23 m. The tile drain network will discharge into 30 m of open channel, the first 10 m of which will be a stilling basin that will allow for the dissipation of flows. It is proposed that substrate be salvaged and reused within the existing channel once the proposed deepening is complete.
Since the project has the potential to impact the existing aquatic environment, mitigation measures will be required to be implemented. Prior to any construction being completed, all avoidance and mitigation measures must be in place and remain in place until the works are completed. For drain construction activities, considerations for review agencies, erosion and sediment control measures, offsetting and mitigation measures please see the previously submitted project drawings and Request for Review form.
3.0 Site Conditions
3.1 Desktop Assessment
The following sources of background information were reviewed as part of our desktop assessment for the subject watercourse: • Natural Heritage Information Centre (2016); • Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs Mapping (2015 and 2017); • Aerial orthophotography (2015); • Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) Aquatic Resource Area mapping (2015); • Ontario Hydro Network (2015); • Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Aquatic Species at Risk mapping (2015); and • DFO Critical SAR Habitat mapping (2017).
The desktop review indicated that the existing watercourse is a first order stream and a tributary of the Saugeen River. It is located within the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority. The tile drain network that discharges into the existing watercourse is enclosed and flows primarily from south to north, discharging into the existing watercourse. The existing watercourse is an unnamed tributary of the Saugeen River. The tile drain network discharges into the unnamed tributary approximately 5,000 m downstream, south, of the Saugeen River. The reviewed background information identified which species potentially inhabit the unnamed tributary of the Saugeen River, and a summary of these fish species is displayed in Table 1. The data was obtained from the MNRF Aquatic Resource Area mapping.
A potential DFO drain classification of the existing watercourse could not be determined through the review of background information (OMAFRA, 2015 and 2017). Sensitive species listed within the Guidance for Maintaining and Repairing Drains in Ontario (DFO, 2017) are not present within the unnamed tributary of the Saugeen River to which the tile drain network outlets. Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain Technical Memorandum Page 3 of 9 Project No.: 300039137.0000 December 18, 2017
The thermal regime of the existing watercourse could not be determined through the reviewed background information. It is likely that the existing watercourse is cool-mixed in nature based on the species that inhabit it (Table 1).

No records of Species at Risk (SAR) or critical habitat for those species were identified in the vicinity of the project area.
3.2 Aquatic Habitat Assessment
Burnside aquatic ecology staff conducted a fish habitat/passage assessment on November 20, 2017, in order to document existing conditions, determine how and if the proposed works may effect conditions within the downstream unnamed tributary, and supplement information collected through the desktop assessment. The accessible length of the existing watercourse was assessed as per the MTO/DFO Fisheries Protocol - Environmental Guide for Fish and Fish Habitat (June 2009). Previous weather conditions were wet, with a few snow and rain events in the week prior to the site visit, however the waters were not turbid at the time of the habitat assessment. Photographs 1-7 below display the conditions of the existing watercourse, the unnamed tributary of the Saugeen River, downstream of the tile drain outlet during the November 20, 2017 site visit.
As mentioned above, the existing watercourse generally flows from south to north. The existing watercourse did not cross any road right-of-ways within the proposed works. The land adjacent to the existing watercourse was categorized as a mature woodlot, active agricultural lands with some rural homes present as well.
3.2.1 Aquatic Habitat Conditions
Burnside staff assessed the existing watercourse conditions walking downstream along the banks of the watercourse. The watercourse receives flow from 3 tile drain outlets. These three Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain Technical Memorandum Page 4 of 9 Project No.: 300039137.0000 December 18, 2017
outlets are located at origin of the watercourse. There is a wide pooled area at the drain outlets that was approximately 4.0 m wide and 0.15 m deep. At the outlet of the tile drain networks the watercourse flowed from southwest to northeast before entering the mature woodlot where it then flowed from south to north. The pooled area was densely vegetated with watercress, indicating the potential presence of groundwater. The banks of this pooled area were vegetated with mature riparian trees, as well as grasses and forbs. The mature woodlot was present on the north bank of the east to west flowing portion of the watercourse. The 3 outlets flowed through a wide channel, but each outlet did not flow into its own channel with defined banks and a stream bed. The watercourse was vegetated with grasses and forbs and no substrate was visible in the immediate pooled area where the 3 outlets were present. A large pile of wood and debris was present west of the outlets, not within the watercourse. Approximately 10 m downstream of the 3 outlets the watercourse becomes a flat with a wetted width of 1.3 m and a wetted depth of 0.1 m. A small riffle was present closer to the mature forested area. Water was flowing through the flat with a velocity of approximately 0.05 m/s. The watercourse substrate was comprised of sand, silt, gravel, cobble, boulders and detritus.
The existing watercourse entered a mature forested area approximately 40 m downstream from the 3 outlets where it became a meandering stream that was aerated through a number of riffles within the forested area. The watercourse varied greatly in wetted width, bank height and width, substrate and morphology. Shade was provided by the mature forest canopy and the banks of the watercourse were very stable. No fish were observed within the watercourse, but several features were present that would provide habitat and cover for fish. There was little overhanging vegetation within the stream, but there was an abundance of large woody debris, cobble/boulder substrate and organic debris were present, which potentially provides cover to resident fish species and aquatic life. A barrier to fish migration was observed within the watercourse. A rock dam with a culvert outlet within it was observed during the site visit. Water was flowing over the dam and out of the culvert, but the water level below the dam would not allow fish to migrate into the upstream reaches. This barrier is outside of the proposed work area, approximately 100 m downstream of where the proposed works terminate (station -0+225).
3.2.2 Fish Habitat
No fish were observed within the existing watercourse where the Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain is proposed although no fish sampling was proposed or conducted. However, there are several aspects of the watercourse that would contribute to downstream fish habitat was observed. The variety of cover types and morphology observed within the existing watercourse would contribute to providing suitable habitat for aquatic life. The riffles present throughout the forested portion of the watercourse would aerate the watercourse and provide habitat for invertebrates. The barrier to fish migration could be a contributing factor as to why no fish were observed within the proposed work area of the existing watercourse. The existing watercourse is currently utilized for drainage purposes, and there is evidence of previous human intervention within the watercourse, which has naturalized over time. The existing watercourse is Winters-Dunstan Municipal Drain Technical Memorandum Page 5 of 9 Project No.: 300039137.0000 December 18, 2017
considered to contribute to downstream fish habitat through conveying flow, water quality and nutrients.

Waterloo, Ontario March 5,2018 Gaslick Municipal Drain 2018 Municipality of South Bruce (Former Township of Culross)
To the Mayor and Gouncil of the Municipality of South Bruce
Members of Gouncil:
1.0 Introduction We are pleased to present our report on the "Caslick Municipal Drain 2018", serving parts of:
Lots 16 to 18, Concession 7 Lots 14 to 18, Concession I Lots 14 to 19, Concession 9 Lots 14 to20, Concession 10
Lots 14 to 22, Concession 1 1 Lots 14 to 21, Concession 12 Lots 16 to21, Concession 13
in the Municipality of South Bruce, former Township of Culross, County of Bruce. Authority to prepare this report was obtained by a resolution of the Municipality of South Bruce Council at its January 27,2015 meeting to appoint Dietrich Engineering Limited to prepare an Engineer's Report.
ln accordance with your instructions pursuant to a request received by Council under Section 78 of the DrainageAct, R.S.O. 1990, signed byShirleyAckerman, ownerof Lot 19, Concession 12, (Roll No. 3-084), we have made an examination and survey of the affected areas and submit herewith our Report which includes Plan, Profiles and Specifications for this work. The attached Plan and Profiles, Drawing No.'s I to 6, Reference No. 1510, Specifications and the lnstructions to Tenderers form part of this report. They show and describe in detail the location and extent of the work to be done and the lands which are affected.
2.O The Drainage Act The "Drainage Act" provides a mechanism for the construction, improvement and maintenance of a drainage works. Procedures under the Drainage Act are designed to enable non-riparian landowners to obtain a legal drainage outlet while safeguarding the rights and property of riparian landowners through which the drainage system may be constructed. The Drainage Act definition of "drainage works" includes a drain constructed by any means, including the improvement of a natural watercourse, and includes works necessary to regulate the water table or water level within or on any lands or to regulate the waters of a drain, reservoir, lake or pond, and includes a dam, embankment, wall, protective works or any combination thereof. Page | 2 otrl\
Drains constructed under the Drainage Act, which are referred to as Municipal Drains, are user pay systems. This means the landowners within the watershed, including lands and roads, for the proposed drain will contribute a portion of costs towards the design, construction and maintenance of the municipal drain, The most common means of assessing project costs are through benefit and/or outlet liability assessments (Sections 22 & 23 of the Drainage Act R.S.O. lggo), Aside from assessing costs, allowances are awarded to owners whose property is physically affected by the construction and maintenance of the drain. The most common sections under the Drainage Act to award allowances are; Section 29 for right-of-way, which awards costs based on the area of land required to construct, improve and maintain the drain in the future; and Section 30 for damages, which are awarded based on damages to the property during construction or improvements to the drain. For more specific details on allowances provided in this report see Section 1 2.0 Allowances.
3.0 History The existing Caslick Municipal Drain was originally constructed under the authority of a report prepared by W. S. McGeorge, O.L.S., C.E., dated August 6, 1931.
The report provided for the construction of approximately 1,392 rods (7,000 metres) of open ditch from an outlet into the Teeswater River in Lot21, Concession 13, to the head of the drain on the north side of Concession I Road. This report also provided for the incorporation of approximately 72 rods (362 metres) of 8" to 10" (200mm to 250mm dia.) tile on Lot 17, Concession B.
A report for repairs and improvements to the Caslick Municipal Drain was prepared by E. W. Shifflett, P.Eng., of Gamsby and Mannerow Ltd., dated September 27, 1976. However, this report was referred back for changes but was later adopted by Council with amendments that were dated December 7, 1976. The original September report provided for the excavation of approximately 25,720 feet (7,839 metres) of open ditch (Main Drain); the construction of approximately g56 feet (291 metres) of open ditch known as "A" Drain; and the construction of approximately 2,533 feet (772 metres) of open ditch known as "8" Drain.
The amendments to the September report provided for a net increase in excavation quantities on the Main Drain due to revised grades along two sections of the open ditch; additional excavation on "A" Drain to provide an outlet that would better serve the private drainage system on Lot 21, Concesslon 11; and an extension of "B" Drain to the north side of Concession 10 Road, which increased the length of the drain from approximately 2,533 feet(772 metres) to S,392 feet (1,643 metres). The originally proposed head of "8" Drain was at the property line between Lot 19 and 20, Concession 1 1.
Also, this report seemed to abandon the closed portion of the Caslick Municipal Drain on Lot 17, Concession B, that was initially incorporated under the W. S. McGeorge, O.L.S., C.E., dated August 6, 1931, and replaced it with an existing open ditch on the same property that was improved upon and incorporated as partof the Caslick Municípal Drain underthe 1976 report. Although the author of the 1976 report made no reference to these changes.
The outlet for the caslick Municipal Drain is into the Teeswater River. otr\ Paqe | 3 4.O On-Site Meeting ln accordance with Section 9(1) of the Drainage Act, R.S.O. 1990, an on-site meeting was held on May 7,2015. The place of meeting was at the Municipality of South Bruce Municipal Office. Persons in attendance were:

Comments, concerns and issues that were discussed at the On-Site Meeting include:
o There were several requests for new culverts of larger diameters and greater lengths to accommodate wider, more current farming equipment o There are several properties with insufficient outlets for their tile into the open ditch . There were requests to check the watershed boundaries on Lot22, Concession 11,Lot20, Concession 10, and Lots 14 & 15, Concessions 10 & 11 . Had a request to investigate adding a branch drain from an outlet into the Caslick Drain on Lot 17, Concession 12, and extending to the upstream side of Bruce County Road 1, to Lot 15, Concession 12 . The general consensus at the meeting was to have the entire Caslick Drain (Main Drain) and "4" Drain cleaned out and to replace several culverts
5.0 Information Meeting An information meeting was held on February 7,2017, at the Municipality of South Bruce Municipal Office. Persons in attendance were:

The information meeting provided a review of the proposed drainage system, the estimated costs of the project and the proposed assessment.
Attendees were presented with a design consisting of a cleanout of the entire Main Drain and the installation of eight (8) new farm crossing culverts; a cleanout of "A" Drain; and the construction of a new tile drainage system known as "C" Drain.
As per the request at the on-site meeting, the new tile drain, "C" Drain, was designed to provide the D. & D. McDonald property (Roll No.3-078) Lot 15, Concession 12, with a subsurface outlet for their private tile drainage systems. The new drain would commence from an outlet into the Main Drain on the R. Doerr property (Roll No. 3-082), Lot17, Concession 12, proceed upstream through the woodlot on the K. Moore & B. Jeffries property (Roll No. 3-079), Lot 16, Concession 12, and to the head of the drain on the upstream side of Bruce County Road 4, adjacent to the D. & D. McDonald property (Roll No. 3-078) Lot 15, Concession 12. However, after much discussion about the benefit of the drain and the associated costs, it was decided by the affected landowners to eliminate the draín from the project.
Some further comments, concerns and issues that were discussed at the lnformation Meeting include:
. Questions about what would happen to the excavated material from the ditch and where it would be placed . Concerns the watershed for "A" Drain weren't delineated correctly and that more land from the east side of Sideroad 208 should be assessed into "4" Drain . Landowners had questions about their respective culverts and what sizellength they were o Assessments and the estimated costs of the project were explained and discussed
6.0 Findings We have made an examination of the drainage area and have found the following: 1. The existing Caslick Municipal Drain (Main Drain) is in a poor state of repair and is neither of sufficient capacity nor depth to drain the surrounding and upstream lands within the watershed at today's standards of drainage. otrl\ Page | 5 2 The existing Caslick Municipal Drain ("A" Drain) is in a poor state of repair and is neither of sufficient capacity nor depth to drain the surrounding and upstream lands within the watershed at today's standards of drainage.
3 Many crossings are in a poor state of repair and are not of sufficient capacity or depth to convey flows at today's standards of drainage nor do they provide a wide enough driving width for modern farming equipment.
7.O Recommendations It is our recommendation that:
1. The existing Caslick Municipal Drain (Main Drain) be cleaned out for approximately 7,830 metres to the design gradeline shown on the attached profiles. 2. The existing Caslick Municipal Drain ("A" Drain) be cleaned out for approximately 298 metres to the design gradeline shown on the attached profiles.
3. Eight (B) new farm culvert crossings be installed along the Main Drain. 4. The construction and maintenance corridor be cleared to a width of 10 metres along the course of the Main Drain and "4" Drain on the working side.
5. The Municipality of South Bruce Drainage Superintendent inspect the drainage works and the right-of-way along the drain on a regular basis so as to prevent the significant build of sediment in the drain and excessive vegetative growth along the right-of-way. 6. The maintenance schedule for "B" Drain be updated to reflect the revised watershed. 7. This new drainage system shall be known as the "Caslick Municipal Drain 2018".
8.0 Summary of Proposed Works The proposed work consists of approximately 7,830 metres of open ditch excavation on the Main Drain; approximately 298 metres of open ditch excavation on "4" Drain; the installation of eight (8) culverts on private lands along the Main Drain; and the clearing of a ten (10) metre wide working corridor along the Main Drain and "A" Drain for construction and future maintenance purposes, in the Municipality of South Bruce, Former Township of Culross, County of Bruce.
9.0 WorkingArea The working area for construction and maintenance purposes shall be a width of ten (10) metres on the side of the drain where the excavated material is to be placed and levelled. Each landowner on whose property the drainage work is to be constructed shall designate access to and from the working area.
10.0 Watershed Characteristics The Drainage Area comprises approximately 1,183.9 hectares. Land use within the watershed is primarily agricultural.
The watersheds were established primarily through historic drainage reports as well as through field investigations and using Southwestern Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP)data.

Report Origin To provide Councilwith an update on various projects and initiatives within the Recreation and Facilities Department. Updates 1. Teeswater Town Hall Update: The construction has entered the final phase and the contractors and committee has been working as hard as ever to complete the project. The mudding and taping has been completed, the fire doors are all installed, the fire caulking has been completed, the masonry work in the basement is complete. Left to complete is some electrical and mechanical work, painting and clean up. The final inspections should take place the first week of May, 2018. Attached to this report is an update on project financials for Councils review. Knob & Tube- The electrician has provided correspondence confirming all of the knob and tube wiring has been disconnected and removed and all devices and items that were wired with knob and tube have been re-wired. RFM Christen notified the Municipal insurance company and they confirmed the facility will continue to have insurance coverage. 2. Teeswater Lions Park- Council passed a motion on April 25,2017 to support the establishment of an AdHoc Committee of RAC that has a mandate to provide the planning, coordination and implementation of all fundraising and matters relating to upgrading the playground equipment at the pool park located in Teeswater. The established playground committee provided a delegation at the April 10,2018 Council meeting advising Council of their proposed playground design and their successful fundraising campaign in which they have obtained the necessary funds to purchase the equipment. Page 1 of 2 Following this delegation, members of council expressed concern with the maintenance costs associated with the proposed ground cover. Staff provides the following considerations: There are two ground cover options to consider for the proposed playground area. These options include wood chips or poured in place rubber. Both options meet the minimum fall height requirements and meet the ADA standards for creating wheel chair accessibility. The protective surface area required for the proposed Lions Park playground is approximately 3600 square feet. Rubber- There are a variety of products available with a variety of finishes that average in price from $15-$25 per square foot. This would cost approximately $54,000- $90,000 for the proposed Lions Park. The rubber surface comes with a S-year warranty and a typical life cycle is 15-20 years. The rubber surface has little to no maintenance but install and replacement costs are extreme. Wood Chips - The cost to initially install woodchips is estimated at $2,000 (for 2tractor trailer loads) and $2,000 for filter cloth that is required below the surface. RFM Christen has identified that there will be additional costs and staff time required to maintain the wood chips. These costs are estimated at $750-1,000 per year to top up the chips annually to maintain adequate fall protection standards and to cover the labour required to rake any chips that have been displaced. The Teeswater Lions Park Committee has recommended wood chips for the proposed project. There are 8 municipal parks that currently have active playground equipment. All of the parks require staff attention and incur costs to maintain. There are municipal parks which fall under a MOU with service clubs who provide some maintenance and operational activities. RFM Christen is recommending to Council to accept the installation of wood chips and the additional maintenance fees that will be incurred for the following reasons: 1. The existing Lions Park was identified in a recent inspection as non-compliant with today's standards. lt is important to consider the liability that the municipality could incur if the park is not updated. 2. Every municipal park has a variety of maintenance required and costs incurred on a regular basis. This includes from hydro, tree trimming, rototilling, grass cutting and garbage disposal. These costs are covered in the operational budget. 3. Although the rubber surface has minimal maintenance required, the upfront investment is cost prohibitive and will double the project budget. 4. The development of a new safe park that meets today's safety regulations is an asset to the municipality and could potentially attract and retain young families in the community. Also the Teeswater Pool located adjacent to the proposed park may become more attractive to patrons and could see an increase in revenue to help offset costs.

Report Origin The Treasurer reports to council on various matters relating to financial activities of the Municipality. 1. Year 2OL7: a. 2Ot7 Audit: Heather MacDonald and Brooke Schnurr attended the municipal office to audit the financial records of the municipality. On-site visits are complete and staff will continue to forward further information as required. The audit did identify some minor changes in recording reserve fund revenue that have been corrected. The modified cash budget surplus has not changed and the Treasurer will be completing the 2Ot7 surplus reserve transfers as presented at the last meeting. The representation letter from the Auditor is attached for information purposes. The Financial lnformation Return for 2Ot7 will be completed as time permits. 2. Year 2OL8: a. 2018 Reserves Budget: The 2018 Budget for Reserves has been updated to include the minor changes to the 20L7 Reserve and Reserve Fund Balances. 3. Brockton Doctor Recruitment: The Treasurer received correspondence from Ryan Fullerton concerning the needs of the Brockton and Area Physician Recruitment Committee. As of Dec 3L't, 2017, the total reserves set aside for the committee total Page I of 5 5t31,134.43 (including the 520,500 currently in reserves at South Bruce). South Bruce's share of those reserves are $34,433.6L. ln 2018, the Committee is expecting to spend S89,¡OO on Doctor incentives. South Bruce's Share of those incentives would be SZ2,EZï. As of Dec 3L, 2017, there ¡s 513,933.61 of South Bruce's funds in Reserve at Brockton built from operating surpluses. The committee is requesting that South Bruce approve payment of 58,400 to cover its remaining share of the funds needed to fund the incentives expected to be paid out in 2018 (569,284 has already been paid). Recommendation: That Council authorize the Treasurer to issue a payment of Sg,q00 to the Brockton and Area Physician Recruitment Committee to be used toward Doctor lncentive initiatives in 2018; and further that the 2018 Budget be amended to include the payment funded from the Mildmay Doctor Recruitment Reserve. 4. Financial Statements: Electronic copies of the 2017 Financial Statements for Westario Power lnc. and the Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling Association are included in the agenda package for information purposes. Hard copies are available upon request. The Municipality of South Bruce has had a share of ownership in the Westario Corporation with seven other municipalities and FortisOntario Inc. since amalgamation of the local hydro utility companies in 2002. Council appoints a representative from the municipality to sit on the Board of Directors for Westario. Westario activities are not consolidated into the Municipality's Financial Statements. The Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling Association operates as a joint Board of Management with representation from the Municipalities of Arran-Elderslie, Brockton, Huron Kinloss, Kincardine, Saugeen Shores, South Bruce Peninsula and the Municipality of South Bruce. Each municipality's proportionate interest in the organization is based on the participating number of households. South Bruce's interest and proportionate rate in BASWRAI's operations is 3.37% for the year 20t7, which is consolidated into the Municipality's financia I statements. 5. One-Third Council Expense Tax Exemptíon & Council Remuneration: ln March 20t7, the Federal Government announced through its budget that it would be removing the tax exemptions for expense allowances paid to members of municipal Councils, effective Janua ry t, 2019. This federal tax exemption has been in place since 1947 under the lncome Tax Act Page 2 of 5 The Association of Municipalities of Ontario is lobbying the federal government to reconsider removing this exemption but there have been no signs to suggest a change of plan for 2O19. There will be an increased cost to municipalities whether elected officials maintain their same net or gross pay through mandated employer contributions to the Canada Pension Plan and Employer Health Tax (S1362). The municipality will incur a further loss of approximately 52/00 due to the removal of the HST rebate. There will also be an increased cost to individual members of Council depending on their total income (estimate 5936 per Councillor and Sf+OO for the Mayor at current Council remuneration rates). Council may elect to increase their remuneration to compensate for the loss of exemption and to maintain the net pay after tax. Council members have not received an increase in their honorarium since 2Ot2 and should consider this as well when determining whether to increase the Council honorariums in 2019. Treasurer Reinhart has completed a study, based on 2016 FIR information, to compare current Council pay with neighbouring municipalities. The results show that South Bruce is the fourth lowest paid Council in the area. AMCTO provided results of a survey conducted in 2Ot7 AMCTO study indicates that members of South Bruce Council are paid below the average rate of pay for the Mayor and all other members of Council as compared to 23 other municipalities with populations betwee n 3,273 and 7 ,265.

The financial statements are for the Corporation as at and for the year ended December 31 ,2017 . 2. Basis of presentation (a) Statement of compliance The Corporation's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with lnternational Financial Reporting Standards ('lFRS"). The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on April 11,2018 (b) Basis of measurement These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless othenuise stated. I Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2017 2. Basis of presentation (continued) (c) Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Corporation's functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest dollar. (d) Use of estimates Assumptions and estimation uncertainty The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the applicalion of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected. lnformation about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustment is included in the following notes; (i) Note 3(b) - measurement of unbilled revenue (ii) Notes 7, 8 - estimation of useful lives of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (iii) Note 10 - recognition and measurement of regulatory balances (iv) Note 13 - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions (v) Note 19 - recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies (e) Rate regulation The Corporation is regulated by the Ontario Energy Board ("OEB"), under the authority granted by lhe Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998. Among other things, the OEB has the power and responsibility to approve or set rates for the transmission and distribution of electricity, providing continued rate protection for electricity consumers in Ontario, and ensuring that transmission and distribution companies fulfill obligations to connect and service customers. The OEB may also prescribe licence requirements and conditions of service to local distribution companies ("LDCs"), such as the Corporation, which may include among other things, record keeping, regulatory accounting principles, separation of accounts for distinct businesses, and filing and process requirements for rate setting purposes The Corporation is required to bill customers for the debt retirement charge set by the province. The Corporation may file to recover uncollected debt retirement charges from Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation ('OEFC") once each year. I Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2017 2. Basis of presentation (continued) (e) Rate regulation (continued) Rate setting Distribution revenue For the distribution revenue included in sale of energy, the Corporation files a "Cost of Service" ('COS') rate application with the OEB every five years where rates are determined through a review of the forecasted annual amount of operating and capital expenditures, debt and shareholder's equity required to support the Corporation's business. The Corporation estimates electricity usage and the costs to service each customer class to determine the appropriate rates to be charged to each customer class. The COS application is reviewed by the OEB and interveners and rates are approved based upon this review, including any revisions resulting from that review. ln the intervening years an lncentive Rate Mechanism application ("lRM") is filed. An IRM application results in a formulaic adjustment to distribution rates that were set under the last COS application. The previous year's rates are adjusted for the annual change in the Gross Domestic Product lmplicit Price lnflator for Final Domestic Demand ('GDP lP|-FDD') net of a productivity factor and a "stretch factor" determined by the relative efficiency of an electricity distributor. As a licenced distributor, the Corporation is responsible for billing customers for electricity generated by third parties and the related costs of providing electricity service, such as transmission services and other services províded by third parties. The Corporation is required, pursuant to regulation, to remit such amounts to these third parties, irrespective of whether the Corporation ultimately collects these amounts from customers. The Gorporation last filed a Cost of Service application on October 10,2012, for rates effective May 1,2013 to April 30, 2014, with annual lncentive Regulation Mechanism ("lRM") filed September 29,20l4, for rates effective May 1 , 2015 to April 30, 2016, and December 23,2016, for rates effective May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018. The GDP lPl-FDD for 2016 is 2.1%, the Corporation's productivity factor is nil and the stretch factor is 0.3%, resulting in a net adjustment of 1 .8% to the previous year's rates. Electricity rates The OEB sets electricity prices for low-volume consumers twice each year based on an estimate of how much it will cost to supply the province with electricity for the next year. All remaining consumers pay the market price for electricity. The Corporation is billed for the cost of the electricity that its customers use and passes this cost on to the customer at cost without a mark-up. 10 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2017 3. Significantaccounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in all years presented in these financial statements: (a) Financial instruments All financial assets are classified as loans and receivables and all financial liabilities are classified as other liabilities except for investment in equities which is classified as available for sale. These financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus any direcily attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment for the financial assets as described in note 3(f). Available for sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value, within the changes therein recognized in OCI until the assets are sold. The Corporation holds derivative financial instruments to manage its interest rate risk exposures. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value; any directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and change therein are recognized in the statement of operations. Hedge accounting has not been used in the preparation of these financial statements. (b) Revenue recognition Sale and distribution of electricity Revenue from the sale and distribution of electricity is recognized as the electricity is delivered to customers on the basis of cyclical meter readings and estimated customer usage since the last meter reading date to the end of the year. Revenue includes the cost of electricity supplied, distribution, and any other regulatory charges. The related cost of power is recorded on the basis of power used. For customer billings related to electricity generated by third parties and the related costs of providing electricity service, such as transmission services and other services provided by third parties, the Corporation has determined that it is acting as a principal for these electricity charges and, therefore, has presented electricity revenue on a gross basis. Customer billings for debt retirement charges are recorded on a net basis as the Corporation is acting as an agent for this billing stream. Other revenue Revenue earned from the provision of services is recognized as the service is rendered or contract milestones are achieved. Amounts received in advance of these milestones are presented as deferred revenue. 11 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Stalements Year ended December 31,2017 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (b) Revenue recognítion (continued) Other revenue (continued) Certain customers and developers are required to contribute towards the capital cost of construction of distribution assets in order to provide ongoing service. Cash contributions are recorded as deferred revenue. When an asset other than cash is received as a capital contribution, the asset is initially recognized at its fair value, with a corresponding amount recognized as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue, which represents the Corporation's obligation to continue to provide the customers access to the supply of electricity, is amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the related asset. Government grants and the related performance incentive payments under CDM programs are recognized as revenue in the year when there is reasonable assurance that the program conditions have been satisfied and the payment will be received. (c) Materials and supplies Materials and supplies, the majority of which is consumed by the Corporation in the provision of its services, is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost being determined on an weighted average cost basis, and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the materials and supplies and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. (d) Property, plant and equipment Items of property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") used in rate-regulated activities and acquired prior to January 1,2014 are measured at deemed cost, less accumulated depreciation. All other items of PP&E are measured at cost, or, where the item is contributed by customers, its fair value, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes contracted services, materials and transportation costs, direct labour, overhead costs and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs on qualifying assets may be capitalized as part of the cost of the asset based upon the weighted average cost of debt incurred on the Corporation's borrowings. Qualifying assets are considered to be those that take in excess of 12 months to construct. When parts of an item of PP&E have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of PP&E. When items of PP&E are retired or otherwise disposed of, a gain or loss on disposal is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal, if any, with the carrying amount of the item and is included in profit or loss. Major spare parts and standby equipment are recognized as items of PP&E. 12 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2017 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) Property, plant and equipment (continued) The cost of replacing a part of an item of PP&E is recognized in the net book value of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Corporation and its cost can be measured reliably. ln this event, the replaced part of PP&E is written off, and the related gain or loss is included in profit or loss. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of PP&E are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The need to estimate the decommissioning costs at the end of the useful lives of certain assets is reviewed periodically. The Corporation has concluded it does not have any legal or constructive obligation to remove PP&E. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of PP&E using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively if appropriate. Land is not depreciated. Construction-in-progress assets are not depreciated until the project is complete and the asset is available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Years Buildings 50 Distribution stations 45 Distribution lines, overhead 65 Distribution lines, underground 60 Distribution equipment 45- 60 Distribution transform ers 40 Meters 5 35 Communications equipment 10 Computer equipment 5 Office furniture 10 Tools and garage equipment '10 Trucks 10-15 (e) lntangible assets lntangible assets used in rate-regulated activities and acquired priorto January 1,2014 are measured at deemed cost, less accumulated amortization. All other intangible assets are measured at cost. Computer software that is acquired or developed by the Corporation after January 1,2014, including software that is not integral to the functionality of equipment purchased which has finite usefui lives, is measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangíble assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. Amortization methods and useful lives of all intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively if appropriate. The estimated useful lives are: Years Compuler software 5 13 Westario Power Inc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2017 3. Significantaccounting policies (continued) (f) lmpairment (i) Financial assets measured at amortized cost A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. lnterest on the impaired assets continues to be recognized through the unwinding of the discount. Losses are recognized in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed through profít or loss if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. (ii) Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Corporation's non-financial assets, other than materials and supplies and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. lf any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the "cash-generating unit" or "CGU"). The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. ln assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. lmpairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a prorate basis, if applicable. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. 14 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2017 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (g) Customer deposits Customer deposits represent cash deposits from electricity distribution customers and retailers to guarantee the payment of energy bills. lnterest is paid on customer deposits. Deposits are refundable to customers who demonstrate an acceptable level of credit risk as determined by the Corporation in accordance with policies set out by the OEB or upon termination of their electricity distribution servrce. (h) Provisions A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Corporation has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. (i) Regulatorybalances Regulatory deferral account debit balances represent costs incurred in excess of amounts billed to the customer at OEB approved rates. Regulatory deferral account credit balances represent amounts billed to the customer at OEB approved rates in excess of costs incurred by the Corporation. Regulatory deferral account debit balances are recognized if it is probable that future billings in an amount at least equal to the deferred cost will result from inclusion of that cost in allowable costs for rate-making purposes. The offsetling amount is recognized in net movement in regulatory balances in profit or loss or OCl. When the customer is billed at rates approved by the OEB for the recovery of the deferred costs, the customer billings are recognized in revenue. The regulatory debit balance is reduced by the amount of these customer billings with the offset to net movement in regulatory balances in profit or loss or OCl. The probability of recovery of the regulatory deferral account debit balances is assessed annually based upon the likelihood that the OEB will approve the change in rates to recover the balance. The assessment of likelihood of recovery is based upon previous decisions made by the OEB for similar circumstances, policies or guidelines issued by the OEB. Any resulting impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss in the year incurred. When the Corporation is required to refund amounts to ratepayers in the future, the Corporation recognizes a regulatory deferral account credit balance. The offsetting amount is recognized in net movement in regulatory balances in profit or loss or OCl. The amounts returned to the customers are recognized as a reduction of revenue. The credit balance is reduced by the amount of these customer repayments with the offset to net movement in regulatory balances in profit or loss or OCl. 15 Westario Power Inc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2017 3. Signlficantaccounting policies (continued) (j) Post-employment benefits (i) Pension plan The Corporation provides a pension plan for all its full-time employees through Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System ('OMERS'), OMERS is a multi-employer pension plan which operates as the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Fund ("the Fund"), and provides pensions for employees of Ontario municipalities, local boards and public utilities. The Fund is a contributory defined benefit pension plan, which is financed by equal contributions from participating employers and employees, and by the investment earnings of the Fund. To the extent that the Fund finds itself in an under-funded position, additional contribution rates may be assessed to participating employers and members. OMERS is a defined benefit plan. However, as OMERS does not segregate its pension asset and liability information by individual employers, there is insufficient information available to enable the Corporation to directly account for the plan. Consequently, the plan has been accounted for as a defined contribution plan. The Corporation is not responsible for any other contractual obligations other than the contributions. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss when they are due. (¡¡) Post-employment benefits, other than pension The Corporation provides some of its retired employees with life insurance and medical benefits beyond those provided by government sponsored plans. The obligat¡ons for these post-employment benefit plans are actuarially determined by applying the projected unit credit method and reflect management's best estimate of certain underlying assumptions. Re-measurements of the net defined benefit obligations, including actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss as part of operating expenses. (k) Finance income and finance costs F¡nance income is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Finance income comprises interest earned on cash and cash equivalents. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, finance lease obligations and unwinding of the discount on provisions, net interest expense on post-employment benefits and impairment losses on financial assets. Finance costs are recognized in profit or loss unless they are capitalized as part of the cost of qualifying assets. 16 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 3'1,20'17 3. Significantaccounting policies (continued) (l) lncome taxes The income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. lncome lax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case, it is recognized in equity. The Corporation is currently exempt from taxes under the lncome Tax Act (Canada) and the Ontario Corporations Tax Act (collectively the "Tax Acts"). Under the Electricity Acf, 1998, the Corporation makes payments in lieu of corporate taxes to the Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation ("OEFC). These payments are calculated in accordance with the rules for computing taxable income and taxable capital and other relevant amounts contained in the Tax Acts as modified by lhe Electricity Act,1998, and related regulations. Prior to October 1 ,2001 , the Corporation was not subject to income or cap¡tal taxes. Payments in lieu of taxes are referred to as income taxes. Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for lhe year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for accounting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. (m) Change in accounting policies The Corporation has adopted the following amendments to standards, with a date of initial application of January 1, 2017: (i). Disclosure lnitiative (Amendments to IAS 7) On January 7, 2016 the IASB issued Disclosure lnitiative (Amendments to IAS 7). The amendments apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1 ,2017 . The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes. One way to meet this new disclosure requirement is to provide a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for liabilities from financing activities. The amendments did not result in a material impact on the financial statements. 17 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2017 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (m) Change in accounting policies (continued) (ii) Recognition of Deferred lax Assefs for Unrealized Losses (Amendments to IAS 12) On January 19, 2016 the IASB issued Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses (Amendments to IAS 12). The amendments apply retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,20'17. The amendments clarífy that the existence of a deductible temporary difference depends solely on a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset and its tax base at the end of the reporting period, and is not affected by possible future changes in the carrying amount or expected manner of recovery of the asset. The amendments also clarify the methodology to determine the future taxable profits used for assessing the utilization of deductible tem porary differences. The amendments did not result in a material impact on the financial statements. (i¡i). Annuallmprovements to /FRS (2014-2016) cycle On December 8,2016 the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to three standards as part of its annual improvements process. Clarification that IFRS 12 Disclosures of lnterests in Other Entities also applies to interests that are classified as held for sale, held for distribution, or discontinued operations became effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The remaining two amendments not yet effective relate to IFRS 1 and IAS 28 (note 4 iv). The Corporation has adopted IFRS 12 disclosure amendments effective January 1 ,2017. The amendments did not result in a material impact on the financial statements. 4. Standards issued but not yet adopted There are new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations which have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The Corporation is still evaluating the adoption of the following new and revised standards along with any subsequent amendments. (i). /FRS l5 Revenue from Contracts with Customers On May 28, 2014 the IASB issued IFRS 1 5 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January '1 , 20'1 L IFRS 15 will replace IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfer of Assets from Customers, and SIC 31 Revenue - Barter Transactions lnvolving Advertising Services. On April 12,2016, the IASB issued Clarifications to IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Cuslomers, which is effective at the same time as IFRS 15. The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognising revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have been introduced, which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized. The new standard applies to contracts with customers. lt does not apply to insurance contracts, financial instruments or lease contracts, which fall in the scope of other lFRSs. The clarifications to IFRS 15 provide additional guidance with respect to the five-step analysis, transition, and the application of the Standard to licenses of intellectual property. 18 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2017 4. Standards issued but not yet adopted (continued) ¡) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued) The Corporation will adopt IFRS 15 and the clarifications in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1,2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined. ¡0 ,FRS 9 Financial lnstruments On July 24,2014 the IASB issued the complete IFRS I standard. The mandatory effective date of IFRS I is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,2018 and must be applied retrospectively with some exemptions. The restatement of prior periods is not required and is only permitted if information is available without the use of hindsight. IFRS I introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9, financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. The standard ¡ntroduces additional changes relating to financial liabilities It also amends the impairment model by introducing a new'expected credit loss' model for calculating ímpairment. IFRS I also includes a new general hedge accounting standard which aligns hedge accounting more closely with risk management. This new standard does not fundamentally change the types of hedging relationships or the requirement to measure and recognize ineffectiveness, however it will provide more hedging strategies that are used for risk management to qualify for hedge accounting and introduce more judgment to assess the effectiveness of a hedging relationship. Special transitional requirements have been set for the application of the new general hedging model. The Corporation will adopt IFRS 9 in its financial statements forthe annual period beginning on January 'l , 2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined. ¡¡i) IFRS l6 Leases On January 13,2016 the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases, The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted for enlities that apply IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers at or before the date of inítial adoption of IFRS 16. IFRS 1ô will replace IAS 17 Leases. This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. This standard substantially carries fonruard the lessor accounting requirements of IAS 17, while requiring enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors. Other areas of the lease accounting model have been impacted, including the definition of a lease. Transitional provisions have been provided. The Corporat¡on intends to adopt IFRS 16 in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1 ,2019. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined. 19 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 3'l,2017 4. Standards issued but not yet adopted (continued) iv) Annuallmprovements fo /FRS Sfandards (2014-2016) Cycle On December 8, 2016 the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to three standards as part of its annual improvements process. The amendment to IFRS 12 became effective from January 1,2017 (note 3 (m) iii). Remaining amendments not yet effective relate to IFRS 1 and IAS 28: Removal of out-dated exemptions for first time adopters under IFRS 1 Firsþtime Adoption of lnternational Financial Reporting Standards, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018; and Clarification that the election to measure an associate or joint venture at fair value under IAS 2E lnvestments in Associates and Joint Ventures for investments held directly, or indirectly, through a venture capital or other qualifying entity can be made on an investment-by-investment basis. The amendments are effective retrospeclively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,2018. The Corporation will adopt these amendments in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1,2018. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined. v) Annuallmprovements fo /FRS Standards (2015-2017) Cycle On December 12,2O17 the IASB issued nerrow-scope amendments to three standards as part of its annual improvements process. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2019, with early application permitted. Each of the amendments has its own specific transition requirements. Amendments were made to the following standards: . IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements - to clarify how a company accounts for increasing its interest in a joint operation that meets the definition of a business; . IAS 12 lncome Taxes - to clarify that all income tex consequences of dividends are recognized consistently with the transactions that generated the distributable profits - i.e. in profit or loss, OCl, or equity; and . IAS 23 Borrowing Costs - to clarify that specific borrowings - i.e. funds borrowed specifically to finance the construction of a qualifying asset - should be transferred to the general borrowings pool once the construction of the qualifying asset has been completed. The Corporation intends to adopt these amendments in its financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2019. The extent of the impact of adoption of the standard has not yet been determined. 20 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2017 5.

The regulatory balances are recovered or settled through rates approved by the OEB which are determined using estimates of future consumption of electricity by its customers. Future consumption is impacted by various factors including the economy and weather. The Corporation has received approval from the OEB to establish its regulatory balances. Settlement of the Group 1 deferral accounts is done on an annual basis through application to the OEB. An application was made December 23,2016 to the OEB to return $544,091 of the Group 1 deferral accounts. Approval was received April 13, 2O17. f he approved account balance has been moved to the regulatory settlement account- The balance is to be recovered over a period of 12 months, commencing May 1,2017. 24 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2017 10. Regulatory balances (continued) The OEB requires the Corporation to estimate its income taxes when it files a COS application to set its rates. As a result, the Corporation has recognized a regulatory deferral account for the amount of deferred taxes that will ult¡mately be recovered from/paid back to its customers. This balance will fluctuate as the Corporation's deferred tax balance fluctuates. Settlement of the regulatory transition to IFRS account has been approved by the OEB with recovery from the customers over a period of up to 4 years, completed December 31 , 2016. Regulatory balances attract interest at OEB prescribed rates, which are based on Bankers' Acceptances three-month rate plus a spread of 25 basis points. ln 2017 the annual rate was 1.10% for the period from January to September and 1.50o/o for the period from October to December, 2017. ll.

Long-term debt (continued) CIBC Term secured bank loans are secured by a general security agreement conveying a security interest in the personal property of the Corporation, a first priority present and future fixed charge securing not more than $2,500,000 over the real property at 24 Eastridge Road, and acknowledgement of fire insurance, with first loss payable to CIBC. On June 1, 2017, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a notional principal of $13,014,282 maturing on July 3,2029. At the same time, the Corporation terminated all of the previously held swap errangements on CIBC term instalment loans (#1-5), without penalty. The new swap agreement on CIBC term instalment loans (#1-6) is structured such that only one fixed rate payment and a weighted average interest rate remains. The amortization period of each individual loan remains materielly unchanged. The swap is a receive variable, pay fixed swap with CIBC World Markets and effectively converted variable interest rates on the unsecured Banker,s Acceptances to an effective fixed interest rate of 3.47ø/o plus stamping fee. Prior to this transaction, the previously held swap arrangements on term instalment loans #1-5 ranged from an effective interest rate of 2.99% to 5.38% plus stamping fee. The swap entered into by the Corporation does not meet the standard to apply hedge accounting. Accordingly, the interest rate swap contract is marked to market at each year end with the gain or loss recorded in the statement of operations. The gain on the swap recorded in2O17 was $S49,g04 (2016 - $350,268). The shareholders' notes are only due on demand to the extent the shareholder can request payment ninety days prior to year end. ln the event a request is made, the Corporation is obligated to repay the shareholder during the following fiscal year. No repayments are required without a written request. No amounts were reguested by shareholders of the Corporation on or before september 30, 2017. shareholder loans bear interest at 4.12o/o payable quarterly. The Corporation's term instalment loans, with a carrying amount of 512,487,612 as at December 31 , 2017, are repayable monthly in accordance with the amortization schedule associated with each individual loan. However, the loan agreement contains a covenant stating that at the end of each quarter, the Corporalions' current ratio must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0, otheruise the loans will be repayable on demand, This current ratio was not met as at December 31,2017.|n January 2018, the Corporation obtained a new committed term instalment loan from CIBC in the amount of $4,000,000 (term instalment loan #7), payable in monlhly installments of principal plus interest due February 1,2033, which resolved the covenant violation. An updated swap agreement was entered into at that time, which effectively fixed the interest rate on all the term loans at 3.249o/o plus stamping fees. Additionally, management obtained a waiver from CIBC for the breach of covenant in March 2018. As a result, the loan was not payable on demand at December 31 ,2017 and as such only the scheduled repayments have been recorded as a current liability. 27 Westario Power lnc.

Commitments and contingencies Contractual Obligations ln the normal course of operations, the Corporation executes agreements that can provide for the indemnification to third parties in transactions such as service agreements and purchases of goods. Under these agreements, the Corporat¡on agrees to indemnify the counterparty against loss or liability arising from the acts or omissions of the Corporation in relation to the agreement. General From time to time, the Corporation is involved in various litigation mafters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Corporation has no reason to believe that the disposition of any such current matter could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or its ability to carry on any of its business activities. General Liability lnsurance The Corporation is a member of the Municipal Electric Association Reciprocal lnsurance Exchange (MEARIE). MEARIE is a pooling of public liability insurance risks of many of the LDCs in Ontario. All members of the pool are subjected to assessment for losses experienced by the pool for the years in which they were members, on a pro-rata basis based on the total of their respective service revenues. As at December 31, 2017,no assessments have been made. 31 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2017 20.

Financlal instruments and risk management Fair value disclosure The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, due from/to related part¡es and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the customer deposits approximates fair value because the amounts are payable on demand. The fair value of the tong-term debt at December 31, 2O1T is $12,4g7,613 (2016 - $11,586,596). The fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the current rate of interest at the reporting date from a third party banking institution. The Corporation holds shares in Sunlife that are traded on the TSX under symbol SLF. The closing price on the last trading day of the year is used to calculate the fair value of these shares. The swap agreement is measured at fair value, which are provided by a third party banking institution and is based on market rates at the date of the valuation. Financial risks The Corporation understands the risks inherent in its business and defines them broadly as anything that could impact its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The Corporation's exposure to a variety of risks such as credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk, as well as related mitigation strategies are discussed below. (a) Credit risk Financial assets carry credit risk that a counterparty will fail to discharge an obligation which could result in a financial loss. Financial assets held by the Corporation, such as accounts receivable, expose it to credit risk. The Corporation earns its revenue from a broad base of customers located in the Gommunities served as outlined in note 1. No single customer accounts for a balance in excess of 9% of total accounts receivable. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance for impairment and the amount of the related impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. Subsequent recoveries of receivables previously provisioned are credited to profit or loss. The balance of the allowance for impairment at December 31 , 2o1z is $1go,ooo (2016 - $2o7,soo). An impairment loss of $ 123,531 (2016 - $65,655) was recognized during the year. The Corporation's credit risk associated with accounts receivable is primarily related to payments from distribution customers. At December 31,2017, approximately $270/52 (2016 - $323,531) is considered 60 days past due. The Corporation has over 23,000 customers, the majority of whom are residential. Credit risk is managed through collection of security deposits from customers in accordance with directions provided by the OEB. As at Decem ber 31 ,2017, the Corporation holds security deposits in the amount of $5ô6,000 (2016 - $S31,220). 33 Westario Power lnc. Notes to Financial Statements Year ended December 31,2017 21. Financial instruments and risk management (continued) (b) Market risk Market risks primarily refer to the risk of loss resulting from changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates. The Corporation currently does not have any material commodity or foreign exchange risk. The Corporation is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates as the regulated rate of return for the Corporation's distribution business is derived using a complex formulaic approach which is in part based on the forecast for long{erm Government of Canada bond yields. This rate of return is approved by the OEB as part of the approval of distribution rates. Fluctuations in interest rates as at December 31 ,2017 would have no effect on the Corporation as long-term debt is not subject to variable interest rates. (c) Liquidity risk The Corporation monitors its liquidity risk to ensure access to sufficient funds to meet operational and investing requirements. The Corporation's objective is to ensure that sufficient liquidity is on hand to meet obligations as they fall due while minimizing interest exposure. The Corporation has access to a $4.5 million (2016 - $3.5 million) credit facility and monitors cash balances daily to ensure that a sufficient level of liquidity is on hand to meet financial commitments as they become due. The line of credit bears interest at the bank's prime rate. The credit facility is secured by a general security agreement conveying a security interest in the personal property of the Corporation. As at December 31,2017, fi2,811,956 has been drawn under the Corporation's $4.5 million credit facility. The Corporation as part of its credit facility also has a bilateral facility for $1,897,399 (the "LC" facility) for the purpose of issuing letters of credit mainly to support the prudential requirements of the IESO, of which $'1,897,399 has been drawn and posted with the IESO (2016 - $1,897,399). The Corporation as part of its credit facility also has a standby letter of credit for $100,000 (the "LC" facility) for the purpose of issuing letters of credit to the Ministry of Environment with regards to compliance under the terms of the Provisional Certificate of Approval for Waste Management System. Currently $100,000 has been drawn and posted with the Ministry of Environment (2016 - $100,000). The majority of accounts payable, as reported on the statement of financial position, are due within 30 days. (d) Capital disclosures The main objectíves of the Corporation, when managing capital, are to ensure ongoing access to funding to maintain and improve the electricity distribution system, compliance with covenants related to its credit facilities, prudent management of its capital structure with regard for recoveries of financing charges permitted by the OEB on its regulated electricity distribution business, and to deliver the appropriate financial returns. The Corporation's definition of capital includes shareholder's equity and long-term debt. As at December 31,2017, shareholder's equityamounts to $32,269,361 (2016 - $31,291,627) and long{erm debt amounts to $16,440,544 (2016 - 515,729,323). 34 Collins Barrow Collins Barrow SGB LLP Charlered Prof essional Accountents 7 Victoria Street S.

We accept no responsibility to a third party who uses this communication. We have been engaged to express an audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of The Municipality of South Bruce ("the municipality") for the year ended December 31,2017. Canadian Auditing Standards ("CAS') require that we communicate the following information with you in relation to your audit. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This includes the design and maintenance of accounting records, recording transactions, selecting and applying accounting policies, safeguarding of assets and preventing and detecting fraud and error. Auditor lndependence We will, through our planning process, identify any potential independence threats and wili communicate any concerns we identify. The municipality, management and the Council have a proactive role in this process, and are responsible for understanding the independence requirements applicable to the municipality and its auditor. You must also bring to our attent¡on any concerns you may have, or any knowledge of situations or relationships between the municipality, management, personnel (acting in an oversight or financial reporting role) and our Firm, its partners/principals and audit team personnel that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence. ln determining which relationships to report, these standards require us to consider relevant rules and related interpretations prescribed by the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario and applicable legislation, coveríng such matters as: (a) holding a financial interest, either directty or indirectly, in a client; (b) holding a position, either directly or indirectly, that gives the right or responsibility to exert significant influence over the financial or accounting policies of a client; (c) personal or business relationships of immediate family, close relatives, partners or retired partners, either directly or indirectly, with a client; (d) economic dependence on a client; and lhls office ìr independe¡tly owned and opsôted by Collinr Sarow SGB LLp KER TILLY The Collin5 Barow tr¿demårkt ¿reused unde¡ Licenre INTERNÀTIONAt 2 (e) provision of services in addition to the audit engagement. ln accordance with our professional requirements, we advise you that we are not aware of any relationships between the municipality and our Firm that, in our professionaljudgement, may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence. Accordingly, we hereby confirm that our audit engagement team, our F¡rm and the other Collins Barrow offices are independent with respect to the municipality within the meaning of the Code of Professional Conduct Rule 204 of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario. Our Responsibilities as Auditor As stated in the engagement letter, our responsibility as auditor of your municipality is to express an opinion on whether the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the municipality in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards. An audit is performed to obtain reasonable but not absolute assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some misstatements of the financial statements will not be detected (particularly intentional misstatements concealed through collusion), even though the audit is properly planned and performed. Our audit includes: ¡ Assessing the risk that the fínancial statements may contain material misstatements that, individually or in the aggregate, are material to the financial statements taken as a whole; . Examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; . Assessing the accounting principles used, and their application; and . Assessing the significant estimates made by management. As part of our audit, we will obtain a sufficient understanding of the business and internal control structure of the municipality to plan the audit. This will include management's assessment of: o The risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud and error; and . The internal controls put in place by management to address such risks. The engagement team must undertake a documented planning process prior to commencement of the audit to identify concerns, address independence considerations, assess the engagement team requirements, and plan the audit work and timing. lt may be necessary to contact members of the Council if significant matters arise from planning procedures. An audit does not relieve management or those responsible for governance of their responsibilities for the preparation of the municipality's financial statements, Council Members' Responsibilities The Council's role is to act in an objective, independent capacity as a liaison between the auditor, management and the board of directors to ensure the audito¡s have a facility to consider and discuss governance and audit issues with parties not directly responsible for operations. The Council's responsibilities include: lhls ôh a Being available to assist and provide direction in the audit planning process when and where appropriate; a Meeting with the auditors as necessary and prior to release and approval of financial statements to review audit, disclosure and compliance issues; a Where necessary, reviewing matters raised by the auditor with appropriate levels of management, and reporting back to the auditors their findings; a Making known to the auditor any issues of disclosure, corporate governance, fraud or illegal acts, non- compliance with laws or regulatory requirements that are known to them, where such matters may impact the financial statements or the lndependent Auditors' Report; a Providing guidance and direction to the auditor on any additional work the auditor feels should be undertaken in response to issues raised or concerns expressed; a Making such enquiries as appropriate into the findings of the auditor with respect to corporate governance, management conduct, cooperation, information flow and systems of internal controls; and ! Reviewing the draft financial statements prepared by management, including the presentation, disclosures and supporting notes and schedules, for accuracy, completeness and appropriateness, and approve same to be passed to directors for approval. Audit Approach Outlined below are certain aspects of our audit approach which are intended to help you in discharging your oversight responsibilities. Our general approach to the audit of The Municipality of South Bruce is to assess the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements and then respond by designing audit procedures. lllegal Acts, Fraud, Intentional Misstatements and Errors Our auditing procedures, including tests of your accounting records, will be limited to those considered necessary in the circumstances and will not necessarily disclose all illegal acts, fraud, intentional misstatements or errors should any exist. We will conduct the audit under CAS, which include procedures to consider (based on the control environment, governance structure and circumstances encountered during the audit), the potential likelihood of fraud and illegal acts occurring. These procedures are not designed to test for fraudulent or illegal acts, nor will they necessarily detect such acts or recognize them as such, even if the effect of its consequences on the financial statements is material However, should we become aware that an illegal or possible illegal act or an act of fraud may have occurred, other than one considered clearly inconsequential, we will communicate this information directly to the Council. It ís management's responsibility to detect and prevent illegal actions. lf such acts are discovered or the Council becomes aware of circumstances under which the municipalig may have been involved in fraudulent, illegal or regulatory non-compliance situatíons, such circumstances must be disclosed to us. Related Party Transactions During our audit, we conduct various tests and procedures to identify transactions considered to involve related parties. Related parties exist when one party has the ability to exercise, directly or indirectly, control, joint control or significant influence over the other. Two or more parties are related when they are subject to common control, joint control or common significant influence. Related parlies also include management, directors and their immediate family members and companies with which these individuals have an economíc interest. 3,.--,.-..-*,,1 .rt Thß ofñce 6 independênlly own0d ànd operãted by Co l¡ns l¡rÕw SCll LLP -ßrtKf.R t-l.Y lhe Coììinç Bàrrow trddcm^rkr ãtê u5ed under Li.€nee, INIERNATIONAT 4 We will ensure that any related party transactions that are identified during the audit have been represented by management to have been disclosed in the notes to financial statements, recorded in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards, and have been reviewed with you. Management is required to advise us Íf any related party transactions have occurred that have not been disclosed to us. The Council is required to advise us if they are aware of or suspect any other related party transactions have occurred which have not been disclosed in the financial statements. Significant Accounting Principles and Policies The municipality's financial statements will be prepared by management using various accounting principles, which have been incorporated into the municipality's accounting policies and disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Where accounting policies have changed from one period to the next, such changes will be noted and the effect of these changes will be disclosed. The accounting policies adopted may be acceptable policies under Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards; however, alternative policies may also be acceptable under Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards. The municipali$ and the Council have a responsibility to not adopt extreme or inappropriate interpretations of Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards that may have inappropriate or misleading results. Alternative policies, if adopted, may produce significant changes in the reported results of the operations, financial position and disclosures of the municipality. The Council has a responsibility to review the accounting policies adopted by the municipality, and where alternative policies are available, make determinations as to the most appropriate policies to be adopted in the circumstances. lf members of the Council are concerned that the adoption or change of an accounting policy may produce an inappropriate or misleading result in financial reporting or disclosure, this concern must be discussed with management and the auditors. lf the Council believes that a policy or policies adopted are inappropriate or produce a misleading result in the circumstances, these concerns should be discussed with us directly, either privately or in Council meetings. Risk-based Our risk-based approach focuses on obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence to reduce the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements to an appropriately low level. This means that we focus our audit work on higher risk areas that have a higher risk of being materially misstated. Materiality Materiality is defined as: Materialtty is the term used to describe the significance of financial statement information to decision makers. An item of information, or an aggregate of items, is material if it is probable that lts omission or misstatement would influence or change a decision. Materiality is a matter of professional judgement in the pafticular circumstances. Materiality is used throughout the audit and in particular when: a) ldentifying and assessing risk of material misstatement; b) Determining the nature, timing and extent of further audit procedures; and c) Evaluating the effect of uncorrected misstatements, if any, on the financial statements and in forming an opinion on the auditors' report. t;æ't'täi+ fhi3 016ce is independenrly owned ¡nd opê¡àted by Coll¡ns B¿row SG8 Ll P the Collins 8àrrow knd€mårcr àre ured und.f Lj Audit Procedures The objective of the tests of controls is to evaluate whether certain controls operated effectively. The objective of the tests of details is to detect material misstatements in the account balances and transaction skeams. Substantive analytical procedures are used to identify differences between recorded amounts and predictable expectations in larger volumes of transactions over time. ln response to our risk assessment and based on our understanding of internal controls, we will use a substantive approach for the audit.

I have enclosed a copy for your information and comments. I believe municipalities should have a say in the location of something that would have such a lasting impact on their community. As you know, today municipal governments can decide where a Tim Hortons should go, but they can't decide where something as significant as a landfill should go. That doesn't make sense. Currently, only the Ministry of the Environment approves a new landfill, but Bill L6, Respecting MunicipolAuthority Over Landfilling Sites, would ensure that waste companies are required to have approval from the municipality as well before they can move forward with the landfill placement. I know that this authority has been requested by a number of municipalities. The Mayor of lngersoll requested this legislative change during a committee hearing on Bill L39 last fall at Queen's Park. Since then, nearly 30 municipalities have passed resolutions of support and another 150 municipal leaders have signed petitions to demand this right. I would appreciate hearing your comments on the bill and any support you can offer. For your convenience I have enclosed a sample resolution of support. Thank you for your consideration. As always please feel free to contact me if I can be of assistance.
