  • Consolidated Municipal Services Managers and Areas Served
    CONSOLIDATED MUNICIPAL SERVICES MANAGERS AND AREAS SERVED Consolidated Municipal Services Managers (CMSMs) in Southern Ontario provide a similar range of programs and services and also provide land ambulance and public health services with the approval of the Minister of Health. The role of the delivery agent in the provision of social services has progressed over time. The Local Services Realignment announced by the government in January 1997, outlined new directions for the delivery of social assistance, child care and social housing. These changes have created the opportunity to implement a more integrated system of social and community health services under municipal leadership. An integrated system is one in which policies; programs and services are coordinated and complementary and serve common goals that address the well being of individuals, families and communities. Consolidation of municipal service management has resulted in the management of the delivery of social assistance, child care, and social housing by 36 municipalities in Southern Ontario and by 10 District Social Services Administration Boards as well as the Regional Municipality of Sudbury in Northern Ontario. Authority to require consolidation of municipal service management is provided by the Services Improvement Act and the Social Assistance Reform Act. In Northern Ontario, ten District Social Services Administration Boards (DSSABs) and the Regional Municipality of Sudbury were approved as CMSMs. DSSABs are responsible for serving both municipalities and territories without municipal organization. The nine southern Ontario regional municipalities plus the City of Toronto are, by legislation, boards of health for their region, as well as CMSMs. [Please refer to attached chart outlining Consolidated Municipal Service Managers - Ontario Works, Child Care and Social Housing -- area served in Southern and Northern Ontario] 1 Consolidated Municipal Service Managers Ontario Works, Child Care and Social Housing Service Manager Area Served SOUTHERN ONTARIO 1.

    Algoma - Manitoulin Agricultural Economic Sector Profile December 2009 Algoma - Manitoulin Agricultural Economic Sector Profile December 2009 Funded by: FedNor Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Northwestern Ontario Development Network Food Security Research Network Supported by: Ontario Federation of Agriculture Prepared by: Harry Cummings and Associates Inc. 96 Kathleen Street, Guelph Ontario. N1H 4Y3 Phone: (519) 823-1647 / Fax: (519) 821-0202 URL: www.hcaconsulting.ca Email: [email protected] ii Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide a profile of agriculture in the Algoma - Manitoulin region and an update on the economic impact of agriculture on the wider economy. The report is intended to help the broader community better understand the nature and economic significance of the agricultural economy in terms of dollars and jobs. The findings are also intended to inform program and policy development work within northern Ontario. Only by better understanding the important role played by food related activities can the various participants in the agri-food economy work together to make decisions which are economically sound, environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. The research in this report relies on data from the Population and Agricultural Census (1996-2006) and a review of the findings from the previous agri-economic impact study conducted in the region in 2002. The study was completed as part of a larger collaborative partnership between stakeholder groups in Thunder Bay District, Rainy River District, Kenora District and Cochrane District. The focus of this report is on the Algoma - Manitoulin region. The value of agricultural production in the Algoma - Manitoulin region is substantial.

It was apparent that a desire for innovation and modernization at Northeastern Ontario Tourism existed. The opportunities for our partners, to take on new responsibilities, and demonstrate an importance to the local economy and community.

I am pleased to report that our talented staff delivered strong metrics. This performance should not go unnoticed, as we have worked hard to attract and retain strong tourism industry professionals and partners. I will share a few highlights of the results that our staff and industry partners have contributed towards in the success of Northeastern Ontario. Being the juggernaut of the tourism industry in North, here are but a few highlights and facts: • Annually Northeastern Ontario represents 55% of all visitation to Northern Ontario or roughly 4.5 million visitors and 51% of the revenue approximately $765 million. • NeONT shifted towards price point marketing and new social media drove new audiences to our website NortheasternOntario.com resulting in a dramatic 41% increase in traffic to industry operators; • We led a team of communities partners on a mission to foster conventions, meetings, incentive travel and trade shows with representatives the community of Sudbury, Timmins, Temiskaming Shores, North Bay and Destination Ontario, creating 56 new business leads with representatives.

Ham Radio News: WA5LOU IS NEW INDIANA SECTION MANAGER The incumbent Indiana Section Manager -- John Poindexter, W3ML, of Knox, who has served as Section Manager since 2009 -- decided not to run for a new term of office. Two radio amateurs vied for the open position, with Lou Everett Sr, WA5LOU, of Indianapolis, being declared the winner with 596 votes. His opponent Brian Jenks, W9BGJ, of Fort Wayne, received 429 votes. Everett has been serving in the Indiana Field Organization as the Indiana Section Traffic Manager, a Net Manger, Official Relay Station and as an Official Observer. VANITY CALL SIGN FEE TO INCREASE SEPTEMBER 4 On August 3, the FCC announced via a Final Rule in the Federal Register that the cost of an Amateur Radio vanity call sign will increase 80 cents, from $14.20 to $15. The new fees take effect 30 days after publication, making September 4, 2012, the first day the new fee is in effect.

  • Northern and Eastern Ontario Rail Network (NEORN) (Algoma Branch) Submission to Moving Ontario Forward Infrastructure Consultation
    September 17, 2015 Northern and Eastern Ontario Rail Network (NEORN) (Algoma branch) submission to Moving Ontario Forward Infrastructure Consultation What types of infrastructure projects could unlock tangible economic development opportunities in your communities? Upgrading the existing rail beds throughout Northern Ontario and reinstating passenger train service as it existed prior to the 1970s is essential to unlocking economic development opportunities in our communities. The rail beds are still in existence, but have substantially deteriorated with an increasing maintenance deficit, and the rail infrastructure is being used almost exclusively for only select freight. The only remaining passenger train service in Northeastern Ontario is from Cochrane to Moosonee, from Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst (pending engagement of a suitable third party operator) and from Sudbury to White River. Rail freight mostly supports only large freight customers thereby restricting economic opportunity. There is very limited passenger rail connectivity to Southern Ontario and the rest of the country except from Sudbury to Southern Ontario and The Canadian VIA service across the country. There is no connecting service from towns and communities to each other and to Sudbury (except White River and Chapleau) and therefore to Southern Ontario. Sudbury is a regional health care centre, but there is very limited passenger rail service to it. The rail beds need to be upgraded to the condition necessary for passenger service and for faster, more efficient and safer freight service. (Upgrading the CP line between the Sault and Sudbury was done over the last 5 years, but only to a minimum standard for freight rail, not adequate for passenger rail.) Intermodal services could be introduced from places like Sault Ste.
