NON-AGENDA REPORT

TO: Mayor Bradley and Members of Sarnia City Council

FROM: Peter B. Hungerford, Director of Economic Development and Corporate Planning

DATE: April 14, 2016

SUBJECT: Project Status Update - Lease of Solar Equipment from Bluewater Power Renewable Energy Inc.

At the March 21, 2016 meeting of Sarnia City Council consideration was given to a report from the Director of Finance regarding Lease of Solar Equipment from Bluewater Power Renewable Energy Inc. The report recommendation was adopted and conditionally authorized the installation of rooftop solar panels as pilot projects on the roofs of the Bluewater Gymnastics Building (1240 Lottie Neely Park Road) and one of the warehouse buildings at the Sarnia Harbour (120 Seaway Road).

Part of this resolution included provision that each location be subject to due diligence in respect of tenant approval and engineering reports for each roof satisfactory to the City. Bluewater Power Renewable Energy Inc. has now advised that their engineering structural reports have been received, and the roof of the warehouse building owned by the City located at 120 Seaway Road is not able to accommodate the intended solar installation. It is unfortunate that the Seaway road roof cannot accommodate the planned solar installation. However the Bluewater Gymnastics roof is approved and this component of the project will proceed.

Aprll7,2016 Mayor Mike Bradley City of Sarnia 255 Christina St. N, Box 3018 Sarnia, ON N7T 7N2

Dear Mayor Bradley,

I write to you today to ask you to support my efforts as MPP and PC Critic for Women's Issues, to call on the provincial government to take immediate steps to combat human trafhcking in Ontario and to raise public awareness of this horrid crime.

Human trafficking is a heinous crime that has been refered to as nothing short of modern day slavery. It is one of the fastest growing crimes, and starts and stays in Canada - over 90 percent of victims are Canadian-born. Worse, Ontario is a major hub for human trafficking in Canada, as the proximity to cities along the Highway 401 corridor provides an accessible thoroughfare for traffickers, and the ability to keep victims isolated. Victims are lured over the internet, meaning that this crime is in our neighbourhoods, our communities and our towns.

Victims - predominantly girls averaging the age of 14, and shockingly as young as 11 - are lured into a nightmare that they can almost never escape on their own. Traffickers recruit, transport, harbour and control the girl next door for sexual exploitation or forced labour.

On February 18,2016, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario unanimously supported Bill 158 on Second Reading, which aims to take immediate steps against human trafficking in Ontario.

The bill provides as follows:

o Declare February 22"d as Human Trafficking Awareness Day in Ontario; o Allow for an application to be brought by a parent of a trafficking victim under the age of 18, a trafficking victim aged 18 or over or an authorized agent such as Covenant House to obtain a protection order from a judge to prohibit the trafficker from contacting or approaching the victim. Such an order would remain in place for a minimum of three years;

llPage

Page 27 of 67 o Create a tort or civil action of human trafficking, allowing victims to sue their traffickers for damages and an accounting of profits; and o Amend the definition of "sex offender" under Christopher's Lou, (Sex Offender Registry), 2000 to include criminal offences for trafficking of victims under the age of 18 years.

In May of last year, I also received unanimous support for a motion asking the Government of Ontario to immediately create a provincial task force to combat human trafficking in Ontario.

The task force would have a similar structure and funding model to the Guns and Gangs Task Force. A multi-jurisdictional task force made up of specially-trained police officers, Crown prosecutols, judges, and frontline workers would coordinate information sharing, and collaboratively work to apprehend criminals and rescue victims. Training and education would also have to be specialized not only for law enforcement and the justice system, but for victims' services, health care workers, schools and businesses.

The task force was endorsed by the Select Committee on Sexual Violence and Harassment, which I had the honour of co-chairing.

The two recommendations are as follows:

57. The Ontario government provide resources for the development of a coordinated approach to help victims of human trafficking, allowing providers of support services and the criminal justice system to share information and work collaboratively,

58. The Ontario government develop a multi-ministerial, province-wide strategy on human trafficking.

Ontario is far behind other provinces when it comes to combatting human trafficking and taking significant action. For instance, in Manitoba, they have enacted legislation as far back as 2012, which has seen multiple victims rescued and traffickers put behind bars for breaching protection orders.

I ask that you and your council members consider putting forward a resolution to support the following attached draft resolution.

I look forward to your support.

Sincerely,

furrL

Scott, MPP Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock

The station has significant historic associations with the growth and development of the town. In the mid 1850s, news of the building of a Toronto to Sarnia line of the Grand Trunk Rail- way was greeted with excitement in St. Marys. Residents were soon disappointed when the main depot was built in 1858 at the Junction of the lines to Sarnia and to London, about two miles from the core of St. Marys.

Other original exterior features include a layered hipped roof with bargeboard trim, typical of Ontario railway depots. On the east side, facing the railway track, the station agent's bay has windows on its three exterior walls on the east, north, and south, giving a clear view of the line in both directions. Under the terms of the transfer of ownership from CNR, a VIA ticket counter is maintained and the building is open for passenger convenience during train times. Since 1988, some rooms have been leased to private businesses or used as offices for town departments, including Tourism. The Town maintains the building and grounds. This satisfactory arrangement was threatened when VIA recently reduced passenger service, leaving only two trains each way on the north line to and from Toronto. Revenue from ticket sales was affected. A further challenge came with the relocation Looking north, February 2016. Note the station agent's projecting bay. of municipal staff from the station to the Town Hall. Realizing that an empty building is not a healthy situation, Town Council and administration decided to call for proposals for the lease of vacant space in the station. The leasing condition was set as preserving features, exterior and interior, that are considered to be of cultural heritage signifi- cance. In 1987, the property was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, but the statement of cultural heritage value and description of heritage attributes were brief and lacking in suffi- cient detail. The St. Marys Heritage Committee updated the bylaw, listing clearly and completely all significant architectural exterior and interior features. Although several prospective tenants were unable to meet the conditions, leases were signed for four rooms in the station, leaving the central area available for rail passengers.

In 1988, ownership transferred to the municipality and the sadly neglected building was revitalized. The surviving 1907 floor plan of the long neglected interior, revealed a central waiting room, a station agent's office overlooking the track, a ladies' retiring room, smoking room for men, a baggage room at the south end, and an express department at the north end. Divisions to mark these separate rooms were restored. Other restored features include a high vaulted, central ceiling in the waiting room. This is supported by two, curved oak beams with a simple wooden crown mould bead separating the walls and ceiling. The inside walls are painted plaster over the double brick exterior and have a high panelled wainscoting topped with a ledge. The station agent's bay projects into the central waiting area at its northeast corner. The trim and framing of the wickets connecting the waiting room to this office are restored.

Terry Fegarty he Duck Bay Road Bridge spans TMatchedash Bay at Waubaushene. It was opened in 1927 to connect the lands on the eastern and southern shores of Georgian Bay. In the mid 19th century, several forces combined to create a burgeoning lumber industry along southern Georgian Bay. White pine was plentiful and there was a huge demand for sawn lumber from the towns and cities of the United States. In a few short years, Georgian Bay was lined with sawmills from Collingwood to Britt, including a mill at Waubaushene (1861). Mill towns developed as the lumber companies built housing and amenities for the mill workers and managers. Many of the mills Bridge Opening, June 1927. were incorporated in three companies. The largest mill was at Waubaushene, where the the federal government in 1882, 1885, and Georgian Bay Lumber Company had its 1905 to build the bridge. headquarters and senior management.

Since the spans were traditional fixed truss spans, it is assumed they were the approach spans for the Atherley swing bridge. The bridge had a distinct appearance due to the notable road grade on the end spans. This was to ensure that the center span had enough clearance for boats. It was not possible to see one end of the bridge from the other end. To ensure safety on the narrow bridge, given the poor view of oncoming traffic, it was treated in later years as one lane with traffic con- trolled by a stoplight signal at each end. The bridge was one of the few metal truss type remaining in Simcoe County.

In 1987, new weight restrictions for bridges forced the Township to divert all large vehicles including buses, municipal emergency, and maintenance vehicles, to nearby Highway 400 to service the northern parts of the Township. In 2012, an engineering inspection rec- ommended either major repairs or demolition. Outright demolition would be a dev- astating loss of transportation heritage, especially considering how few heritage truss bridges survive in Simcoe County. After public consultation and due delibera- tion, the municipal Council authorized a $2 million bridge reconstruction project. This work involved stabilizing and encapsulating in concrete the existing piers, removing the original bridge, rehabilitating the abutments, and installing a new truss bridge. Duck Bay Road was closed at the New bridge nearing completion, bridge for just under four months. The old November 5, 2015. bridge was moved to the north ramp and cut apart for scrap. All the materials for the reconstruction were staged on the north side, where the new bridge sections were unloaded and welded together. It was then pushed across to the piers. On December 4, 2015, Tay Township Mayor Scott Warnock, Council members, and invited guests officially cut the ribbon on the newly reconstructed Duck Bay Road Bridge. A Fire and Emergency Ser- vices tanker truck made the first official crossing, marking the end of twenty eight years of weight restrictions. Emergency vehicles, school buses, and municipal road maintenance equipment can once more cross the bridge rather than be rerouted to Highway 400. The new bridge maintains an essential community link for local residents and a possible alternative for High- way 400 traffic in case of emergency.

he annual symposium of the Ontario Archaeological Society T(OAS) was held in Midland, October 16 to 18, 2015. Hosted by the Huronia Chapter (Midland) of the OAS, some 300 attendees included about 50 Quebec Wendat and a similar number of delegates from the Eastern States Archaeological Federation in the United States. Well represented were municipal planners, heritage profes- sionals, and members of Municipal Heritage Committees. Sponsorship funds were provided by, among others, the Municipality of the Township of Tay and the Township of Tay Heritage Committee. The symposium was attended by Councillor Cate Root and Terry Fegarty of the Tay Heritage Committee. Titled "Circles of Interaction: The Wendat and their neigh- bours in the time of Champlain," the symposium focused on the 17th century and earlier time periods from the First Nation's side. There are over 1000 known aboriginal sites in Simcoe County. Only 200 have been tested, and only 20 have been fully excavated. On average, 2-3 new pre-contact sites are found each year in Southern Ontario. The program included fifty (concurrent) presentations and four guided tours over the three days. Some topics of particular interest were as follows:

Effect of the Mini Ice Age (c.10,000 BC) on aboriginal food and trade Wendat towns and nations 1450 - 1650 Wendat presence in Southern Ontario after 1649 Landuse trends of the Wendat and Iroquoians Wampum belts to document treaties Aboriginal use of the Georgian Bay Islands before 1600 Ground Penetrating Radar as a tool to locate historical Archeological verification of location of 17th century sites graves Warminster site, 1610 - 1624 Computer graphics to visualize historic sites Tay Point site (Ahatsitstari) Assessment of Champlain Changing Wendat food ways at the Ellery site Damage and destruction of aboriginal sites Page 37 of 67 Spring / printemps 2016 CHOnews 7 The Guild Inn

Approved by the Working Group for the Municipal Task Force for OMB Reform Page 46 of 67 To the Mayor and All Council Members,

We are writing you today to highlight the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act (OCOTAA).

OCOTAA requires all compulsory trades to have an OCOTAA card guaranteeing they are a licensed trades person or apprentice in the Province of Ontario and only trades with OCOTAA cards are allowed to work on any Infrastructure in Ontario.

We have attached the best practice policy used by Lakeridge Health and we are visiting Institutions in Ontario ensuring they are in compliance with OCOTAA in their purchasing policy.

A recent study has shown Institutions prequalifying and guaranteeing only certified trades are being used have a double digit cost decrease in their Infrastructure project from less deficiencies, less lost time accidents, and a better insurance rating.

This fall we will see an amendment in OCOTAA that a certificate of qualification for Heat and Frost Insulation and institutions will be required to ensure only Certified OCOTAA Heat and Frost Insulators are on any construction or maintenance site.

Municipal Solutions will be checking the procurement language of institutions in Ontario on behalf of the licensed and certified trades. Municipal Solutions will be making recommendations to Institutions on how to bring their policy into compliance and to protect your assets and the taxpayers. We will also be reporting noncompliance to the Ontario College of Trades Enforcement Division, however we have found most Institutions have been happy to implement OCOTAA into their policies as it is Ontario law.

We would respectfully ask Council refer our letter to Purchasing in order to verify that your municipality is in compliance with the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act and would encourage similar wording to that of Lakeridge Health be adopted.

Best Regards,

John Mutton

CEO/President, Municipal Solutions

Lakeridge Health is committed to quality work and best practices; ensuring skilled workers are properly trained and supervised; and have the relevant certificates for their trade.

Procedure

When positing positions for hire at Lakeridge Health, the Engineering and Infrastructure Department in conjunction with Human Resources will ensure that all positions are posted with the relevant certificates and qualifications applicable to the job.

Upon hire, all certificates and licenses will be scanned, saved, and a copy record inserted into the employee file.

The Ontario Energy Board is holding a hearing to consider what mechanisms may be used to recover the costs of expanding natural gas service to Ontario communities that are currently not served. Learn more. Have your say.

The Ontario Energy Board is commencing a hearing on its own motion to consider what mechanisms may be used to recover the costs of expanding natural gas service to Ontario communities that do not currently have access to natural gas. In July 2015, Union Gas Limited filed an application (EB-2015-0119) to expand natural gas service to certain rural and remote communities. That application included a proposal to have existing Union Gas Limited customers pay a portion of the costs to connect new customers. The Ontario Energy Board has determined that the requests made by Union Gas Limited in that application raise issues that may be common to any entity that wishes to provide natural gas service to communities that do not currently have access to natural gas service. The Ontario Energy Board will therefore address these issues through a generic proceeding.

The Ontario Energy Board will put the hearing of Union Gas Limited’s application (EB-2015-0179) on hold until the generic hearing is complete.

In the generic proceeding, the Ontario Energy Board will consider possible alternative ratemaking frameworks to provide natural gas service to Ontario communities that do not currently have access to natural gas. The OEB plans to seek input from intervenors on exactly what the issues should be. However, broadly speaking the OEB intends to review the following issues: 1. Should the OEB implement new ratemaking mechanisms including changes to current economic tests to encourage utilities to expand natural gas distribution service to new communities? If so, what should these new mechanisms be? 2. Should the OEB consider imposing conditions or making other changes to Municipal Franchise Agreements and Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity to reduce barriers to natural gas expansion?

3. Does the OEB have the authority to require the ratepayers of one utility to subsidize the costs of another utility to expand into new communities’? if so, under what circumstances (if any) would this be appropriate?

To see the detailed draft issues list, please select the file number EB-2016-0004 on the OEB website: www.ontarioenergyboardcalnotice

Pembroke, April 6, 2016

Kirsten Walli, Board Secretary Ontario Energy Board 2300 Yonge St. PO Box 2319 Toronto.Ontario M4P 1E4

Re: Ontario Energy Board Generic Proceeding EB-2016-004

Dear Ms. Walli,

Regarding the Ontario Energy Board's Generic Proceeding EB-2016-004, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus would like to provide the following submission as a letter of comment.

As an organization representing the interests of municipal taxpayers in rural Eastern Ontario, the EOWC supports the initial application from Union Gas (EB-2015-0179) to expand natural gas service to rural and remote communities. Beyond that, however, the EOWC also supports any similar efforts from other entities, such as Enbridge Gas, that wish to provide natural gas services to rural and remote communities that do not currently have access to such services.

The expansion of the infrastructure required to provide natural gas to rural communities that would otherwise not receive this service would allow for significant economic benefits for every sector: residential, commercial and industrial. Natural gas is the most reliable, ef?cient, and economical form of energy. but due to the dispersed nature of our population — coupled with our geography and geology — many areas remain underserviced or are simply not serviced at all.

As the economic development of our region is a priority issue, the expansion of the natural gas network is of great importance to everyone who lives and does business in rural Eastern Ontario. Ifcertain conditions were put into place, such as those being considered by the Ontario Energy Board, it may become financially feasible to extend natural gas to the EOWC region.

The EOWC is an incorporated non-profit organization comprised of the elected Wardens of the 13 County Councils in rural Eastern Ontario, stretching from Northumberland in the west to the Quebec border in the east, with a combined population of 750,000. In closing, on behalf of the EOWC, I strongly encourage the Board to consider and approve any measures raised in the Generic Proceeding EB—2016—004that may allow for the provision of natural gas in our region.

Best regards, —

April 12, 2016

Bill 151 Waste-Free Ontario now sent to Standing Committee

Last week, Bill 151,The Waste-Free Ontario Act, passed second reading with unanimous support from all three parties and has been referred to the Standing Committee on Social Policy for public consultations and clause-by- clause hearings for April 18th and 19th (see Standing Committee - Waste- Free Ontario Act, 2016).

The draft legislation is high-level enabling legislation that will see much of the details on how services will be funded and delivered determined once the legislation is passed through Provincial Policy Statements and Regulations. AMO, City of Toronto, Regional Public Works Commissioners of Ontario, and the Municipal Waste Association submitted a comprehensive municipal sector submission on the Bill in response to the posting on the Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) Registry (EBR Registry Number 012-5832, Waste-Free Ontario Act, 2016 - Bill 151).

We urge any interested Mayors, Heads of Council, Public Works Chairs or other interested elected officials to register with the Clerk of the Committee to be considered to speak to the Bill. Additionally, written submissions to the Committee will be important to ensure municipal governments’ perspective on the Bill are heard.

To assist with your oral or written submissions to Committee, we developed an outline of the key municipal concerns on Bill 151 that your municipality can use as a baseline for your specific submission. We have also included the specific amendments AMO has developed that can be an appendix to your submission.

The Municipal Perspective

 Municipal governments have long advocated for a new legislative framework for waste diversion. We are encouraged that Bill 151 has passed through second reading.  We strongly support the Province’s legislative intent to move towards producers fully funding the end-of-life costs associated with managing products and packaging rather than relying on the property tax base to fund these costs. However, a number of issues need to be addressed in the legislation now as opposed to through future policy statements and regulations.

Page 63 of 67  Our primary concern is that Bill 151 does not provide the municipal sector with any ability to protect our interests in the operation and funding of our integrated waste management systems. Municipal governments will still be required to operate and fund the integrated waste management system for all materials that are not designated and materials that end up in our waste and/or litter streams. Given the impact new programs and recovery schemes will have on the systems we manage and pay for, municipal governments require a seat at the table when decisions are being made about these programs – both during the transition and after the legislation is in force.  Currently, the language used in section 11 of the Waste Diversion Transition Act, 2015 (WDTA) to describe payments from producers to municipalities for provision of the Blue Box program, is identical to section 25(5) of the Waste Diversion Act, 2002. This language of "Stewardship Obligation" has been interpreted differently by municipal governments and stewards, resulting in a costly arbitration in 2014 and remains in dispute between the parties. We implore the members of the Standing Committee to amend the language and take advantage of this great opportunity to finally fix this constant and unproductive conflict.  Critical amendments to Bill 151 are needed to ensure municipal governments’ concerns are addressed:

o to protect residents’/municipal taxpayers’ interests; o to protect the integrity of the integrated municipal waste systems; and o to stop the on-going challenges with receiving what municipal governments are owed during the transition period.

The Municipal "Ask"

 We are asking the Committee to ensure that the legislation presents a fair and balanced approach for municipal governments.  A fair and balanced approach would be achieved through changes to section 11, the establishment of a Municipal Advisory Body and other specific amendments to the WDTA and the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy, 2015.  We have provided the Committee with a list of 13 draft Bill 151 amendments. We hope this wording will be used in clause-by-clause review and amendments to the Bill during the Committee process.

Note: Draft Amendments are included as an appendix.

Welcome to FCM

Dear Mayor and Members of Council,

Thank you for being a member of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), and for being a part of the municipal movement that’s helping to shape this country.

Your membership allows municipal leaders from across the country to speak with one voice. The federal government knows that FCM represents a strong and engaged municipal sector. That’s why we get results.

The impact of a strong and united FCM can’t be understated. Take last month’s federal budget, for example. Budget 2016 was a transformative step forward for municipalities. That progress came about after FCM spent months advocating for our members’ priorities directly to the new federal government. I’m proud of the difference we made — one that will be felt in communities across the country.

To ensure our unity is on full display, I encourage you to download our new “Proud Member of FCM” logo, and add it to your municipality’s website or Facebook page. Let’s show Canada that, together, municipal leaders are building a brighter future for all Canadians.

Several community meetings were held to determine gaps and how to move forward as a community to better respond to emerging issues. The focus of the Collaborative is to provide education and training opportunities.
