    Update on COVID-19 Projections Science Advisory and Modelling Consensus Tables January 12, 2021 Key Findings • Growth in cases has accelerated and is over 7% on the worst days. • Almost 40% of long-term care homes have active COVID-19 outbreaks. Since January 1st 198 LTC residents and 2 LTC staff have died of COVID-19. Forecasts suggest more deaths in wave 2 in long- term care than in wave 1. • COVID-19 ICU occupancy is now over 400 beds. Surgeries are being cancelled and the access to care deficit will continue to increase with real consequences for health. • Mobility, and contacts between people have not decreased with the current restrictions. Survey data show that the majority of Ontarians are helping limit spread by following them. However, case numbers will not decline until more of the population follows their example. • A new variant of concern of SARS-CoV-2 (B117) could drive much higher case counts, ICU occupancy and mortality if community transmission occurs. The doubling time for cases could drop by more than 2/3. This new variant is now in Ontario. • Without significant reductions in contacts, the health system will be overwhelmed and mortality will exceed the first wave totals before a vaccine has time to take effect. 2 Total new cases per 100,000 residents per week across PHUs Sept 17 Sept 25 Oct 16 Nov 7 Nov 23 Dec 14 Dec 26 In-person Restrictions Modified COVID-19 RESPONSE Toronto and Peel York and Province-wide classes for on bars and Stage 2 FRAMEWORK enter 28-day Windsor- lockdown all major restaurants begins in Durham, Halton, Eastern lockdown Essex enter 14 days N.

  • 2010 Saw the Last Train on the Brockvile to Carleton Place Railway
    Clipping from an old Newspaper Article submitted by Leona Kidd Canada’s first great railway building decade came in the 1850’s construction of a railway to connect Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place, Almonte and intervening points to the Grand Truck Railway at Brockville was begun in 1853 and completed in 1859. The Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company’s charter of 1853 authorized building of a line from Brockville “to some point on the Ottawa River”, and a branch line from Smiths Falls to Perth. By August the company was reported to have let a first contract to James Sykes and Company of Sheffield for building and equipping the line as far as Pembroke at a cost of £930,000, and to have received subscriptions for about a third of this amount, in shares of £5 each. The County Council of Lanark and Renfrew in January, 1854, was notified that its bylaw to loan up to £200,000 to the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company had been approved by the provincial government. Sub-contractors were at work in the spring of 1854 at points between Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth and Brockville. Reverses which delayed the project culminated in the North American financial crash of 1857, when Messrs. Dale and Ellerman and Sir Charles Fox soon appeared before Lanark and Renfrew’s County Council seeking renewed municipal financial aid. Further contracts for continuing construction finally were arranged before the end of the year. In a premature and unpromising official opening of the southern section of the line early in 1859, a wood-burning locomotive with two coaches filled with passengers had left Brockville on a bitterly cold midwinter day.

  • 2021 Proposed Fees and Charges
    Meeting Date: November 25, 2020 Contact: Sean Crozier, Treasurer/Deputy CAO [email protected] 613-646-2282, Ext. 138 Title: 2021 Proposed Fees and Charges Recommendation: That Committee of the Whole receive the draft 2021 User Fee Schedules for discussion in advance of the Public Meeting scheduled for December 9, 2020. Background: As part of the annual budget process, user fees are reviewed to ensure revenue is generated for providing services that are not fully funded through the use of taxation, grants or reserves. Social and economic factors are taken into consideration with proposed changes. In the 2021 proposed budget, user fees represent 28% of the proposed tax levy, meaning that without the use of user fees, the tax levy would need to increase 28% to fund services offered. Analysis: The Township is proposing increases in inspection rates and the introduction of a Covid-19 related cleaning fee when required. Changes to individual schedules are summarized below. Schedule “A” Community Development: The proposed changes will position the Township to provide for comparable planning and building fees with municipalities within Renfrew County. The department will assess revenue vs. expenses for building services to comply with the Ontario Building Code Act in 2021. Schedule “B” Recreation: The proposed changes are a reflection of market rates for arenas. Schedule “C” Finance and Administration: Page 1 of 16 A slight increase to the issuance of tax certificates is proposed. Schedule “D” Legislative and Protective Services: Recreational vehicle licenses and marriage related fees have increased. It is not recommended at this time to change to a lifetime dog tag as yearly revenues aid in offsetting operational expenses.
