November 19, 2020 the Honourable Caroline Mulroney Minister Of 8.10 Traffic Safety Council City of Mississauga 300 City Centre Drive November 19, 2020 Mississauga, ON L5B 3C1 The Honourable Caroline Mulroney Minister of Transportation 777 Bay Street Toronto, ON M7A 1Z8 RE: Installation of Automated School Bus Stop Arm Cameras The City of Mississauga’s Traffic Safety Council (TSC) wishes to note their support for the implementation of automated school bus stop arm cameras supporting school buses in the Region of Peel. On June 11, 2020 Regional Council passed Resolution 2020-436 and Resolution 2020-446, which take Vision Zero actions by noting support for the implementation of this technology. On February 20, 2019, the City of Mississauga Council passed a resolution in support of the Province allowing the installation of stop arm cameras on school buses in an effort to protect the safety of children and raise awareness about the laws around school buses. TSC understands that Provincial changes to the Highway Traffic Act allow Municipalities to implement automated school bus stop arm cameras. However, there are legislative and operational constraints preventing the rollout of this technology. The TSC mandate includes making recommendations to the Council of the City of Mississauga, which are intended to protect students from the dangers of vehicular traffic or related hazards. The School Bus Stop Arm Camera Working Group has estimated that if stop arm cameras are implemented in the Peel Region it would result in 150,000-500,000 offences per year. Therefore, by implementing school bus stop arm cameras, this would improve the safety of students and result in increased participation in active transportation to and from school. Sincerely, Traffic Safety Council City of Mississauga CC: Deepak Anand, MPP Rudy Cuzzetto, MPP Natalia Kusendova, MPP Kaleed Rasheed, MPP Sheref Sabawy, MPP Nina Tangri, MPP .

  • “The Risk of a Carbon Tax Recession Is Very Real.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report January 22, 2019 Quotation of the day “The risk of a carbon tax recession is very real.” Premier Doug Ford takes fresh aim at Ottawa’s carbon backstop in an Economic Club ​ ​ speech. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House is recessed until February 19. In the park Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell hosted the Lincoln M. Alexander Awards ​ ​ ceremony in the LG Suite Monday afternoon. The award honours young folks who have made a difference in their community when it comes to eliminating racial discrimination and promoting social equality. This year’s winners are Manaal Chasso, Lisa Wang and Fiqir Worku, and you ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ can read more about their projects here. ​ ​ Ford: Beware “carbon tax recession” The premier took fresh aim at Ottawa’s carbon backstop Monday, saying it will trigger a recession in Ontario. Speaking to more than 1,000 business-minded people at an Economic Club luncheon at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Premier Doug Ford warned of tough economic times ahead ​ ​ thanks to the federal government’s carbon pricing. “A carbon tax will be a total economic disaster and there are already economic warning signs on the horizon,” Ford said in his prepared remarks. “There couldn’t be a worse time to impose a massive, job-killing tax on Ontario families and small businesses.” “The risk of a carbon tax recession is very real,” Ford said. But critics were skeptical. NDP environment and climate change critic Peter Tabuns accused Ford of “making things up to ​ ​ justify cash handouts to big polluters,” a reference to the $400-million taxpayer-funded “carbon trust” in the PC’s new climate action plan, which incentivizes businesses to reduce emissions.

  • Proclamation/Greeting Letter Request for 29Th Falun Dafa Day Anniversary April 8, 2021
    Proclamation/Greeting Letter Request for 29th Falun Dafa Day Anniversary April 8, 2021 Dear Mayor Jim Diodati We hope you and your loved one have been safe and well. We respectfully request a greeting/proclamation letter in recognition of Falun Dafa Day for this year (May 13, 2021). This is our annual celebration of 29 years spreading of Falun Dafa to the public, the contributions of the Falun Dafa community in Canada and to honor the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. We truly appreciate for your previous proclamations to us during the past years! Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) is a spiritual practice for mind and body, rooted in the ancient schools of cultivation in China. It consists of meditative exercises, and a moral philosophy aimed at the promotion of virtue. At the core of Falun Dafa’s teachings are the tenets of “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.” Tens of millions of people from diverse cultural backgrounds in over 100 countries, including Canada, benefit from practicing Falun Gong, where the free teachings help people improve their mental, moral, and physical wellbeing and contribute to a more healthy and harmonious society. Falun Dafa practitioners have also helped Canadians during these difficult times, by offering free meditation exercise instruction in communities and online classes. As traditional Chinese culture believes, and scientific studies, as well as survey results, are now proving, the connection between mind and body is key for a healthy immune system and to combat illness and stress. As you may be aware, for the past 22 years, major human rights organizations have documented the nation-wide campaign of hatred, torture, forced thoughts conversion, mass imprisonment, and killing of people who practice Falun Gong in China, including evidence of practitioners being murdered for their vital organs that are being sold by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Adam has accepted the role of Executive Director of the Sault Community Career Centre, a not-for-profit employment agency funded by the Government of Ontario and with about 35 staff members that provides free assistance to job seekers, employers and newcomers to achieve their professional goals. Trained as a teacher but with more than 10 years of experience in the construction industry, Adam was able to hit the ground running under the sage mentorship of his predecessor, Rick Thomas, when he was hired by the SSMCA almost seven years ago. It has been pleasing to watch Adam grow professionally as a construction association executive and as a person in that time and his contributions to our industry and the broader community will be felt for a long time to come. While we are disappointed to see Adam join the COCA family alumni, we only wish him and his family the very best. Congratulations Adam and many thanks for everything.

  • “Yada, Yada, Yada.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report February 21, 2019 Quotation of the day “Yada, yada, yada.” The heckle that got MPP Randy Hillier booted indefinitely from the PC caucus after an ​ ​ emotionally charged question period attended by families dealing with autism. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House sits at 9 a.m. The government could call any of the following pieces of business for debate before question period kicks off at 10:30 a.m.: ● The government’s time allocation motion on Bill 48, Safe and Supportive Classrooms ​ ​ ​ Act; ● Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act; or ​ ● Bill 68, Comprehensive Ontario Police Services Act. ​ The official Opposition has two private member’s bills and a motion slated for afternoon debate: ● NDP MPP Bhutila Karpoche’s Bill 63, Right to Timely Mental Health and Addiction ​ ​ ​ ​ Care for Children and Youth Act, is up for second reading. The legislation would ensure any individual under the age of 26 in need of mental health or addiction services can access those programs within 30 days. ● NDP MPP Lisa Gretzky will put forward Bill 64, Noah and Gregory’s Law, for second ​ ​ ​ ​ reading. The bill, named for two of Gretzky’s constituents, aims to ease the transition to adult services for children accessing developmental supports when they turn 18. ○ Karpoche and Gretzky will hold back-to-back morning pressers to discuss their proposals. ● NDP MPP Ian Arthur will move a motion calling for an end to mandatory time-of-use ​ ​ electricity pricing and to develop a “fairer price structure that meets conservation goals.” (Motions are non-binding but have symbolic value.) Oops! In Tuesday’s edition, Queen’s Park Today reported the government’s motion amending the ​ ​ standing orders was still on the order paper — it actually passed in October.
