Initiatives /Success PILLAR(S) & Theme(s) Seneca College Expansion Seneca College president David Agnew presented on ALL the colleges recently announced $100 million expansion. The Seneca College King Campus expansion project involves the design and constructions of new academic and extracurricular facilities that will allow Seneca to increase the range of programs offered and provide space for an additional 1,450 students. Once completed, Seneca’s King Campus will provide teaching and learning opportunities for more than 5,000 full-time students. The expansion is scheduled to open in 2018. Road Program Update Staff provided an update on the implementation of ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMIC the Township 2016 Road Reconstruction and Maintenance Program. Staff also asked council to authorize beginning the process of closing a section of the Caledon/King Town line between King Road and Mt. Pleasant Road.

The section of the road would remain closed until funding to replace the culvert is identified. Laskay Hall Relocation ALL
Staff presented a report on the possible relocation of Laskay Hall to the museum site in King City. Council endorsed in principal the relocation of Laskay Hall and directed staff to enter into discussion with the Township’s Heritage Committee with respect to the hall’s potential relocation.

Friday, October 21, 2016 York Region leads the way in waste reduction Residents' efforts help keep waste levels down
Newmarket – Through the ongoing commitment by residents and small businesses, and the help of programs put in place by our nine local cities and towns, York Region is on track to achieve its 2016 Strategic Plan goal of diverting 90 per cent of its waste from landfill.
“These efforts may take a few more minutes of our time, but together, we are making an enormous, positive difference in our environment,” said York Region Chairman and CEO Wayne Emmerson. “Together, our efforts to keep waste from landfill have again secured York Region a first-place ranking among large urban municipalities in Ontario.”
The 2015 Waste Diversion Report received by York Regional Council highlights the successes of the SM4RT Living Integrated Waste Management Master Plan (SM4RT Living Plan), the blueprint for waste reduction over the next 25 to 40 years. These include:
1,305 tonnes of household hazardous waste collected, an increase of 102 tonnes over 2014 85,335 tonnes of blue box material collected, a decrease of 2,310 tonnes over 2014 due to less paper and more lightweight plastics being included in the blue box system
Update from Township Page 5 of 27 Administration on 96,593 tonnes of green bin material collected, an increase of 1,893 tonnes over 2014
York Region’s nine cities and towns have been active participants in waste reduction pilots and programs, including:
Curbside swap events where residents place reusable items they no longer need at the curb for pickup by other residents Audits to better understand waste generation rates in multi-residential units and identify diversion reduction and reuse opportunities Backyard composting projects
York Region is committed to the four Rs of recycling: reduce, reuse, recycle and the recovery of energy through energy-from-waste initiatives such as the Durham York Energy Centre, a jointly-owned facility with Durham Region.
Energy-from-waste captures energy content from waste remaining after all recycling efforts have taken place, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, recovers metals and reduces the volume of waste going to landfill.
“The goal of the SM4RT Living Plan is to educate all residents and small businesses on what they can do to ensure we all do our part to keep waste levels down,” said City of Vaughan Regional Councillor Mario Ferri, Vice Chair of Environmental Services. “As Waste Reduction Week comes to a close, we learned there are many ways to reduce waste both at home and at work all year long, and there are many programs in our communities available to help us achieve our goals.”

Update from Township Page 6 of 27 Administration on The Regional Municipality of York consists of nine cities and towns, and provides a variety of programs and services to almost 1.2 million residents, 50,000 businesses and 580,000 employees. More information about the Region’s key service areas is available at york.ca/regionalservices

What is Net Zero, is it a home, a community or is it as simple as a building envelope? Rising energy costs and demand for quality urban living, combined with a trend towards more compact and livable cities, consideration of rising greenhouse gas emissions and the introduction of Provincial policies supporting the development of Net Zero Communities are all driving this conversation.
With buildings having an economic life of 50 years or more, decisions made now determine our energy needs in the coming decades. Join the GTA Chapter of the Canada Green Building Council, Clean Air Council and Clean Air Partnership to hear industry experts share their experiences, business cases and vision for Net Zero Energy Housing.
