  • Capsule Railway History of Peterborough County
    23ae Peterborough County – A Capsule Railway History BACKGROUND Before the Railway Age, travel and the movement of goods in Upper Canada were primarily dependent on wa- terways, and primitive trails that passed for roads. Needless to say, both of these modes of transportation relied very much on the weather of the seasons. Agitation for a more efficient mode of transportation had started to build with the news of the new-fangled railroad, but the economic depression of 1837 and the years following were bad years for Upper Canada and for railway development, especially in view of the unsettled economic and political conditions in England, on whose financial houses the crucial investment in railway ventures de- pended. However, in 1849 the Province of Canada passed the Railway Guarantee Act which guaranteed the interest on loans for the construction of railways not less than 75 miles in length. It was this legislation that trig- gered Canada's railway building boom. While the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada (GTR), incorporated in 1852, busied itself with its trunk line along Lake Ontario, the waterfront towns were busy with their own railway ambitions. They saw themselves as gate- ways to the untapped resources of the "hinterland". Thus emerged a pattern of "development roads" from Whit- by, Port Hope, Cobourg, Trenton, Belleville, Napanee, Kingston, Brockville and Prescott. (Toronto had already led the way with its portage road to Collingwood, and later participated in additional development roads to Owen Sound and Coboconk.) North of Lake Ontario were rich natural resources and a rapidly expanding population as successive waves of immi- grants had to seek land further north from Lake Ontario.

  • Land Ambulance Service Delivery Options
    TO: Chair and Members Corporate and Emergency Services Committee FROM: Terri Burton Director, Emergency Services DATE: February 18, 2015 SUBJECT: Land Ambulance Service Delivery Options REPORT NO: CES-4-2015-5 RECOMMENDATION None. For information only. ORIGIN The Province of Ontario, Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, transferred responsibility for land ambulance delivery to upper-tier municipalities (UTMs) (and service boards where no upper-tier exists), effective January 1, 2001. The District of Muskoka (District) contracted the delivery of ambulance services through a Request for Proposal process in 1999 and again in 2008. The District’s current contract with Medavie EMS Ontario is scheduled to expire December 31, 2015. BACKGROUND The Emergency Health Services Branch (EHSB) of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care oversees air and land ambulance services in Ontario, as well as, ambulance communication centres that are responsible for dispatching those services. EHSB manages and regulates land ambulance services provided by upper-tier municipalities and District Social Services Administration Boards by establishing standards for the management, operation and use of ambulance services and ensuring compliance to those standards. The Ambulance Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. A.19, as amended by the Services Improvement Act, 1997, sets out the legislative framework for the funding and delivery of land ambulance services under Municipal jurisdiction. The District provides 24 hours per day, 7 days per week land ambulance service delivery throughout Muskoka and neighbouring communities when requested. The District and its contractor are collectively responsible for: Administration and records management; Page 1 Recruitment, hiring, training and review of staff performance; Scheduling work rosters; Productivity and quality regulations assurance; Liaison with related agencies and levels of government; Fleet and facilities maintenance; Budget preparation; and Policy and procedure development and implementation.

  • Strategic Agenda Was Developed Simultaneously with the 2013- 2015 Business Plan
    PETERBOROUGH – LAKEFIELD POLICE SERVICES BOARD STRATEGIC AGENDA November 2012 INDEX page Introduction 3 Basic Assumptions 5 Observations and Analysis 6 Police Priorities 11 List of Reference Documents 13 MPM Consulting Hodgson Associates Page 2 Introduction As part of its regular business planning process, the Peterborough Lakefield Police Services Board decided to create a corollary report that would focus on a period much longer than the three year timeframe for the Business Plan. This Strategic Agenda was developed simultaneously with the 2013- 2015 Business Plan. Information gained through review of existing documentation as well as observations and opinions provided during the consultation phase of the business planning process, provided the basis for the recommendations contained in the Strategic Agenda. The Peterborough Lakefield Police Service is considered a leader in the provision of community based policing. By following the principles and priorities contained in the Strategic Agenda, the Board can continue this strong commitment to the communities it represents. The Strategic Agenda depends on projections that have already been developed with respect to the long term changes identified for both communities. By studying these trends, the Board can develop general directions for the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service that will direct the planning process and provide guidance for changes that are planned for the operation and administration of the Police Service. Ultimately the Strategic Agenda should provide a basis for fundamental organizational improvements that will occur in the next few decades. It should also assist the Board in determining which financial, and human resource, investments best reflect the realities in these changing communities.
