AMO Policy Update – $1.75 Billion Announced for Broadband Across Canada
The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, announced an additional $750 million to support connectivity through an expanded Universal Broadband Fund (UBF) today. The UBF supports the Government of Canada’s goal of connecting all Canadians by 2030. The Fund was originally announced in 2019, providing $1 billion to support connectivity. Municipal governments are eligible to apply to the Fund.
The UBF includes $150 million for Rapid Response Stream projects which can connect Canadians by November 15, 2021, and $50 million available for mobile internet projects primarily for Indigenous communities. The Prime Minister also announced today an agreement with Telesat to improve high-speed internet coverage for the far north, rural, and remote regions across Canada through Low Earth Orbiting satellites.
The UBF complements Ontario’s recent significant expansion of its ICON broadband funding program which together will improve connectivity to unserved and underserved regions in Ontario.

November 13, 2020 AMO Policy Update – COVID-19 Framework Updated
Province updates COVID-19 Framework with new lower thresholds
The province is revising its COVID-19 framework to respond to the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases and has updated the Keeping Ontario Safe and Open Framework by lowering the thresholds for each level in the framework. The province is stating that these updates are necessary and will help limit the spread of COVID-19 while keeping schools open, maintaining health system capacity, protecting the province's most vulnerable, and avoiding broader future lockdowns.
The latest public health modelling indicates that if the number of new cases continue to grow at its current rate, the province could register up to 6,500 new cases per day by mid-December. Within the next two weeks the province will likely exceed its intensive care threshold of 150 beds, under any potential scenario. Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, will continue to monitor the situation and may provide additional public health recommendations to the Premier and Cabinet next week.
The framework update responds to the current data and projected trends. The threshold for each of the five levels have been lowered for:
weekly incidence rates; positivity rate; effective reproductive number (Rt); outbreak trends; and the level of community transmission.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 58 of 176 Based on these new thresholds, the public health unit regions below are moving to the following levels in the framework as of Monday, November 16, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. However, Toronto Public Health will move into the framework on Saturday, November 14, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. **.
Red-Control:
Hamilton Public Health Services Halton Region Public Health Toronto Public Health ** York Region Public Health
Orange-Restrict:
Brant County Health Unit Durham Region Health Department Eastern Ontario Health Unit Niagara Region Public Health Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health Region of Waterloo Public Health
Yellow-Protect:
Huron Perth Public Health Middlesex-London Health Unit Public Health Sudbury & Districts Southwestern Public Health Huron Perth Public Health Windsor-Essex County Health Unit
Assignments to the current levels are to last for a minimum of 28 days or two- incubation periods, at which time the status of these public health unit regions will be reassessed on a weekly basis. However, movement to a more restrictive zone will be considered sooner if there are quickly worsening trends.
For long-term care homes, visitor restrictions will apply to public health regions within the Orange-Restrict and Red-Control levels in the framework. This is to go into effect on Monday, November 16, 2020 at 12:01 a.m.

November 17, 2020 AMO Policy Update – COVID-19 Resiliency Infrastructure Stream Intake Open, Expanding Mental Health Services, and AODA Compliance Report Deadline Extended
Project Intake: COVID-19 Resiliency Infrastructure Stream
As AMO reported to members on October 28, municipal governments have access to $250 million federal and provincial funding through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) COVID-19 Resiliency Steam. Today, The Honourable Laurie Scott, Minister of Infrastructure, announced that the application intake for this funding is open.
Municipalities have been provided with their funding allocations. All ICIP projects require review by the provincial government and nomination to the federal government for approval. The intake deadline for projects is December 21, 2020 for municipalities eligible to submit single projects and January 7, 2021 for municipalities eligible to submit multiple projects.
For more information, see the program guidelines and FAQs.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 60 of 176 Expanding Mental Health Services
The Ontario government today announced over $37 million to significantly expand mental health services across the justice system. The funding will be used to expand mobile crisis teams across the province, hire additional staff, and support the creation of tailored programs for First Nations communities. This is part of the government's $176 million investment this year in the Roadmap to Wellness, Ontario's plan to build a comprehensive and connected mental health and addictions system.
As part of this investment, the Province is providing mental health and justice services that will lead to better supports for individuals with mental health and addictions challenges, including help to reduce their interactions with police. This includes:
Over $6.5 million for mobile crisis services. This funding will allow 33 communities across the province to expand or launch mobile crisis response services, including a brand-new service in Ottawa, a new Indigenous service in Six Nations of the Grand River, and additional teams in smaller communities in the Northwest, such as Red Lake, Sioux Lookout, Dryden, Atikokan, Fort William First Nation, and the surrounding area of Marathon. These services support individuals in mental health and addictions crisis and help determine if the crisis can be resolved at the scene or if further supports, such as psychiatric attention at hospital emergency departments, are required. $5 million for safe bed programs to support mobile crisis teams. This funding will enhance four existing programs while implementing seven new programs across Ontario, including two urban safe bed programs in downtown Toronto and Ottawa. Safe bed programs provide individuals in mental health and addictions crisis who are in contact with mobile crisis teams with short-stay, 24/7 community residential crisis services. The mobile crisis teams assist local police services in de-escalating high-pressure situations and connect individuals with the mental health and addictions services they need. Over $14 million for supportive housing programs designated for justice involved individuals. This will fund up to 524 new units across the province for individuals who are either on diversion plans from mental health court or have been released from a provincial correctional facility, including $1.03 million for up to 20 units that are affiliated with five new post-court transitional case managers. Transitional case managers will also provide support to individuals involved in the justice system with mental health and/or addictions challenges to rapidly access services, such as counselling, therapy and peer support, so that they can live safely in the community. $2 million for addictions/withdrawal specialists to support safe beds. This funding will provide eight communities with addiction specialists for their safe bed programs, as well as addiction specialist support for the Kenora and Toronto Downtown East Justice Centre pilots.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 61 of 176
$2 million for mental health and addictions peer support for offenders under community supervision. This funding will help establish partnerships with local community-based mental health and addictions service providers and Indigenous organizations. $1.1 million for mental health and addiction supports to vulnerable and marginalized persons as part of the Ministry of the Attorney General's Justice Centres. Investments will provide critical mental health and addictions supports to prevent crime, break the cycle of offending, and create safer communities in Kenora, London, Toronto's Downtown East, and Toronto's Northwest areas. These investments will also enhance access to culturally relevant mental health and addictions services for Indigenous and Black communities.
In addition, Ontario will continue to build evidence-based research on post-traumatic stress disorder and occupational stress injury ― two common mental health challenges affecting Ontario's frontline emergency providers. These findings will help identify new tools and programs to support their mental health and well-being.
Province Extends AODA Compliance Report Deadline
Public sector organizations, including municipal governments, are required to submit a report by year end to report on compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requirements.
The deadline has been extended from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021. See the Ontario website for more information on completing your accessibility compliance report and on municipal compliance requirements.

November 18, 2020 AMO Policy Update – Bill 218 Passes, 2020 Auditor General’s Report, and Clarification of Budget Property Tax Measures
Bill 218, Supporting Ontario’s Recovery and Municipal Elections Act, 2020 Passes
The Legislative Assembly of Ontario gave Third Reading to Bill 218 and its changes which provide liability protection for good faith actions to protect Ontarians from COVID-19. The Bill also revoked regulations under the Municipal Elections Act allowing ranked ballot elections and changing the nomination deadline for candidates.
AMO submitted comments to the Standing Committee on Justice Policy regarding the Bill that were very supportive of the changes to liability protections and expressed concerns regarding the changes to the Municipal Elections Act. While the Bill’s changes to ranked ballot elections stand, the legislation changes the date for receiving nominations to the third Friday in August of an election year. This reflects the concerns of municipal election administrators regarding needed time for ballot printing and other administrative needs.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 63 of 176 Annual Auditor General Report Details Considerations to Improve Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reductions and Access to Park Space
Ontario Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk tabled her 2020 Annual Report today. The report reviews some provincial GHG reduction actions and access to park space in Ontario, calling for an overall focus on climate change as an all-of-government priority as committed to in the Made In Ontario Environment Plan.
This pays particular attention to GHG emissions in the building sector as Ontario’s third most significant source and makes recommendations on better energy conservation measures through the Ontario Building Code and updating the Long- Term Energy Plan to reduce fossil fuel use in buildings, particularly natural gas use which has been increasing. Assessment of building inspection programs and training for inspectors and trades is also reviewed.
The Report reviews access to park and natural spaces in Ontario and suggests improved focus on biodiversity in these areas to protect the natural environment. Recommendations call for improved focus on land use planning and ecology.
Ministry of Finance Clarifies BET Rate Reduction Impacts to Municipalities
On November 17th, the Ministry of Finance wrote to Treasurers/Clerk-Treasurers across the Province to clarify several announcements related to property tax and assessment measures from the provincial budget.
Of note, the letter addresses recent concerns on reducing Business Education Tax (BET) rates for municipalities that host facilities that fall under the payment in lieu (PIL) category of property taxation with assessed values in commercial and industrial tax classes. The Ministry indicates it will ensure municipalities are not negatively impacted by the BET reductions. To that end, the Province will maintain BET rates at the 2020 BET rate for properties whose PIL of education taxes are permitted to be retained by municipalities.
AMO continues to analyze in conjunction with association partners to evaluate the municipal impacts of these proposed property tax and assessment changes.

Advocacy Update – Bill 218 and Ontario Fall 2020 Budget
Bill 218: Supporting Ontario's Recovery and Municipal Elections Act, 2020
On Monday, November 9, Bill 218 went through clause-by-clause review at the Standing Committee on Justice Policy. In consideration of Schedule 2 of the Bill (that amends the Municipal Elections Act, 1996), as expected, much of the attention was on clauses that remove municipal authority to choose to use Ranked Ballot Voting (RBV).
While there were at least three proposed amendments brought forward by Opposition members to the Rank Ballot sections of the Bill, they were all defeated. While AMCTO did not take a position on these specific changes, we did raise our concerns over the proposed changes to move nomination day.
With regard to nomination day, AMCTO expressed to the Government that changing the date to the “second Friday in September from the fourth Friday in July," would have significant impacts on our members’ ability to deliver effective election services. We have advocated this position numerous times – first by writing to Ministers Clark and Downey, second by making a submission to the Standing Committee, and finally by having ongoing conversations with ministry staff.
In recognition of these proposed impacts to our members, the Government introduced an amendment at Standing Committee which was carried: nomination day is now proposed to move to the 3rd Friday in August. While AMCTO maintains that the new proposed nomination date still puts undue pressure on election administrators, this amendment does provide a few more weeks time to deliver election services. Given the time allocation motion currently applied to the Bill, it is expected that the Bill will move to Legislature for Third Reading on November 16.
As we all look towards the 2022 municipal election cycle, based on what we're hearing from members, we expect that clerks’ departments may incur additional costs in order to carry out election activities, particularly those related to using alternative voting methods (telephone, internet,
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 66 of 176 mail-in etc). We would ask those tracking additional costs incurred as a result of this change, to please share this information with us so that we can analyze and continue to monitor the impact of this measure.
Ontario Fall 2020 Budget
The Budget was built around three themes: protect, support and recover, and provides a three-year outlook with a few scenarios of what Ontario’s fiscal situation could look like.
Ontario is projecting a $38.5 billion deficit for 2020-2021, as a result of COVID-19. Depending on the pace of economic growth, the deficit could shrink over the next three years, however, the Province could be projecting a significant deficit (approximately $28.2 - $33.4 billion depending on the economic scenario) going into the 2022 provincial election year.
We have already blogged about several measures announced as part of the Fall 2020 Budget.
The Minister also introduced Bill 229: Protect, Support and Recover from COVID-19 Act (Budget Measures), 2020, containing 44 Schedules that would make amendments to several Acts. Some of the more significant proposals are outlined below:
The Bill would amend the Conservation Authorities Act to add further accountability and transparency measures including:
A section that requires persons appointed to conservation authorities to be municipal councillors. A section on duties of members to act honestly and in good faith on behalf of municipalities where members are appointed by participating municipalities. A section that requires agendas and meeting minutes of the authority and executive committees to be made public and posted to the authority's website.
In addition, the Bill would allow the Minister to appoint a representative from the agricultural sector. Conservation Authorities would continue to be responsible for providing programs and services to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources other than gas, oil, coal and minerals.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 67 of 176 For treasurer members in particular:
There are several proposed amendments to various legislation including the Assessment Act, and the Municipal Act, to enact proposed changes to property tax assessment for some businesses.
As mentioned in our budget blog post, in 2021, municipalities will have the ability to reduce property taxes for certain small businesses via a new 'small business' property tax class.
Some consideration will have to be given as to the definition of small business used by municipalities to ensure that this measure provides the support intended — particularly as there is a provincial commitment to consider matching these reductions. A 2018 City of Toronto staff report on Tax Policy Tools to Support Businesses identified some considerations for implementing such a measure.
Additionally, the Bill proposes to extend property tax exemptions that already apply to land that is used and occupied as a memorial home, clubhouse or athletic grounds by an Ontario branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, units of the Army, Navy, and Air Force Veterans in Canada.
The Bill also proposes to allow municipalities to elect whether or not to have a vacant unit program — provided they pass a bylaw and unless otherwise prescribed or defined in the Municipal Act. Municipalities are also given several options respecting the requirements of their programs.
Overall, AMCTO is encouraged to see that the budget maintains the OMPF funding envelope, continues investments in broadband and modernizing government process and procedures — all of which are measures that align with our pre-budget submission.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Hello Mr. Colucci,
I am contacting you due to the City of Windsor's long history of concern about climate change, as reflected recently in the City's declaration of a Climate Emergency and progress in the milestones of the Partners for Climate Protection program.
The Government of Ontario is planning to increase use of our gas-fired power plants, ramping up greenhouse gas pollution by more than 300% by 2025 and by more than 400% by 2040.
If this occurs, Ontario will lose 35% of the GHG pollution reduction benefits that we achieved by phasing-out our dirty coal-fired power plants. The Provincial commitment to mitigate climate change by reducing GHG's will be out of reach. Municipal and individual efforts across the province to reduce GHGs through electrification and development of distributed renewable energy will be undermined by continued central gas-fired power generation.
Fortunately, there is a better way to keep our lights on. We can meet our 2030 climate target and lower our electricity bills by phasing-out our gas plants by a combination of energy efficiency investments, Quebec water power and Made-in-Ontario wind and solar energy. This Ontario Clean Air Alliance Report provides more detail on the plan, and the alternatives.
Our call for the phase-out of Ontario’s gas-fired power plants by 2030 has been endorsed by over 45 organizations including the David Suzuki Foundation, the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario and Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.
Capping GHG emissions and then phasing out gas-fired power plants will benefit municipalities. It will:
create the opportunity for local, distributed renewable power generation projects, with the employment and community benefits that they bring. help to prevent the climate-related impacts (fires, flooding, weather events, climate- related health impacts) that are an ever-increasing burden for municipalities and citizens. provide GHG-free electricity to feed municipal and community GHG reduction projects equip your region to compete in the green economy of the future.
The City of Kitchener and Town of Halton Hills were the first to pass resolutions on October 26 calling for the Province of Ontario to move toward phasing out gas-fired power plants. We are hoping that the City of Windsor will join them. This draft resolution is a place to start.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 70 of 176 We are available to support consideration of this issue any way that we can. For example, we can provide technical background or a speaker (Jack Gibbons) for webinars or deputation- please contact me.
We look forward to hearing from you, and working together to ensure that Ontario’s electricity supply is a sound foundation for GHG reduction across the province.
Best regards,
Eve Wyatt
-- Eve Wyatt Ontario Clean Air Alliance --
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 71 of 176 Draft Template for Municipal Resolution Calling for Gas-Fired Electricity Generation Phase-Out
Background
The Government of Ontario is planning to ramp up the greenhouse gas pollution from Ontario’s gas- fired power plants by more than 300% by 2025 and by more than 400% by 2040 to replace the output of the Pickering Nuclear Station (scheduled to close in 2024). This plan will throw away more than a third of the greenhouse gas reductions Ontario achieved by phasing-out its dirty coal-fired power plants.
To support this massive increase in fossil fuel electricity and climate-threatening greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution, the provincial government recently purchased 3 gas plants at a cost of $2.8 billion.
Greenhouse gas pollution is causing temperatures in Canada to rise at more than double the rate in the rest of the world, causing adverse impacts for the citizens of [insert name of municipality]. ( Insert specifics about relevant risks to municipality such as forest fires, flooding, agricultural failures, public health impacts, etc.)
[insert name of municipality] has declared a Climate Emergency and is taking measures to reduce its greenhouse gas pollution. (Insert specifics about relevant advisory committee, activities such as Climate Action Plan, Community Energy and Emissions Plan, and achievements.)
The planned increase in GHG pollution will reduce the effectiveness of [insert name of municipality]’s climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. It will decrease the effectiveness of electrification programs (deep building retrofits, EV programs) due to increased GHGs associated with electricity, discourage development of distributed renewable energy initiatives, delay municipal transition to the clean economy of the future, and prevent Ontario from meeting its GHG reduction commitment.
Ontario can phase-out its gas-fired power plants by 2030 by an integrated combination of energy efficiency investments, wind and solar energy and Quebec water power. The costs of the alternatives to gas-fired generation are all less than the price Ontario Power Generation’s current price per kilowatt- hour (kWh) for power from nuclear plants (9.5 cents per kWh).
Ontario can increase its investments in quick-to-deploy and low-cost energy efficiency programs. Ontario can cost-effectively maximize its energy efficiency efforts by paying up to the same price for energy efficiency measures as it is currently paying for power from nuclear plants.
Ontario can become a leader in developing increasingly low-cost renewable energy resources rather than investing in high-cost nuclear re-builds. Ontario should support renewable energy projects that have costs that are below what we are paying for nuclear power and work with communities to make the most of these economic opportunities.
Quebec has offered Ontario low-cost 24/7 power from its massive water power system at less than one- half the cost of the planned re-buildings of the aging Darlington and Bruce Nuclear Stations.
In addition, Quebec’s system of hydro-electric reservoirs can be used like a giant battery to provide load balancing/back-up for Ontario’s intermittent sources of renewable energy.
Ontario can benefit from making long-term electricity deals with its green energy-rich neighbour.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 72 of 176 The phase-out of Ontario’s gas-fired power plants will help [Insert name of municipality] and the Province of Ontario to achieve their greenhouse gas pollution reduction goals.
Municipal Resolution
WHEREAS: The Government of Ontario is planning to increase electricity generation and greenhouse gas pollution from Ontario’s gas-fired power plants by more than 300% by 2025 and by more than 400% by 2040, reversing more than a third of the greenhouse gas pollution reductions achieved by phasing out our coal-fired power plants;
AND WHEREAS: Greenhouse gas pollution is causing temperatures in Canada to rise at more than double the rate of the rest of the world, causing impacts to the operations and citizens of the [insert name of municipality];
AND WHEREAS: The [insert name of municipality] has declared a Climate Emergency and is taking measures to mitigate and adapt to the climate impacts caused by increasing greenhouse gas pollution;
AND WHEREAS: There are feasible, cost-effective alternatives to increasing gas-fired electricity generation without increasing greenhouse gas pollution at costs well below the current price for Ontario’s nuclear energy (9.5 cents/kWh), including:
energy efficiency investments; low-cost, distributed, renewable energy, providing employment in Ontario communities and restoring our leadership in this industry; the purchase of low-cost power offered by the Province of Quebec from its existing hydroelectric generating stations; and using Quebec’s system of reservoirs like a giant battery to back-up made-in-Ontario renewable power, eliminating the need to use gas-fired power plants for this purpose;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the [insert name of municipality] requests the Government of Ontario to place an interim cap of 2.5 megatonnes per year on the greenhouse gas pollution from Ontario’s gas-fired power plants and develop and implement a plan to phase-out all gas-fired electricity generation by 2030 to help Ontario and [insert name of municipality] meet their climate targets.
AND BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that this resolution be sent to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines, the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, all local MPPs and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

[email protected] P.519.776.5209 November 6, 2020 F.519.776.8688 360 Fairview Avenue West Suite 311, Essex, ON N8M 1Y6 Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
As a follow-up to recent board decisions, we wanted to apprise you of additional actions and matters for consideration since our letter of September 4, 2020. As you know, on August 28, the Essex Region Conservation Authority discovered it was the victim of a complex and sophisticated phishing scam, whereby fraudsters infiltrated our system, impersonated a staff member, and forged documents.
Immediately upon detection of this crime, the police, our banks, and insurers were notified. In addition to the police investigation, the Board launched a robust internal investigation, including a forensic audit of our IT systems. These investigations have concluded without question that this crime was perpetrated by individuals outside of the organization.
This investigation helped us identify how this security breach occurred, and we have implemented measures to better protect the organization, and reduce vulnerabilities against future cyber attacks. There continues to be discussions with our bank and insurers to determine if any of these funds are recoverable.
While prudent financial management has allowed us to be financially positioned to weather this storm, the investigation also highlighted that running an organization so leanly comes with an element of risk. ERCA’s Annual Revenues for programs and services ranks consistently in the top 10 of all 36 Conservation Authorities. At the same time, ERCA’s operational levy funds less than 40% of its operations, placing ERCA in the bottom five of all Conservation Authorities, and well below the provincial average of approximately 50%.
As well, the epic Lake levels we are experiencing have triggered a higher demand for development approvals than anywhere else in the Province, with a much smaller staff complement to respond. Our region has been under almost constant flood threat for most of the past two years, placing further significant demands on the Authority, without additional resources. These are matters the Board must take into consideration as we move forward.
Following Richard Wyma’s resignation, Tim Byrne has agreed to serve as the Interim General Manager for the Authority. A hiring committee has been established to identify a new General Manager to continue to implement the important watershed-based conservation work that’s needed to ensure the Windsor-Essex region remains one of the best places in Canada to live, work, invest, and raise a family.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Corporation's financial reporting process. Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couid reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 80 of 176 Page 3
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Subsequent recoveries of receivables previously provisioned are credited to the statement of comprehensive income, The balance of the allowance for impairment at December 31, 2019 is $17,996 (2018 -$24,041).
The Corporation's credit risk associated with accounts receivable is primarily related to payments from customers for services. At December 31. 2019, $198,207 (2018 - $3,240) is considered in excess of 90 days past due. Management is actively seeking to resolve these disputes.
Cash is in excess of federally insured limits and is held with a large Canadian financial institution. (ii) Liquidity risk:
The Corporation monitors its liquidity resources to ensure it has access to sufficient funds to meet operational and investing requirements, The Corporation's objective is to ensure that sufficient liquidity is on hand to meet obligations as they fali due while minimizing interest expense. The Corporation monitors cash balances to ensure that sufficient levels of liquidity are on hand to meet financial commitments as they come due.

13. Contingencies;
From time to time, the Corporation is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Corporation has no reason to believe that the disposition of any such current matter could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or its ability to carry on any of its business activities.
14. Subsequent event:
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, financial markets have been negatively impacted by the novel Coronavirus or COVID-19, which was dedared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020. This has resulted in significant economic uncertainty and consequentiy, it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on the Corporation's future financial results.

Executive Summary:
N/A.
Background:
The National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP) is a federal program intended to reduce the impact of natural disasters on Canadians. These funds will be used to reduce significant recurring flood risks and costs and to advance further discussions on residential flood insurance. This NDMP program should not be confused with the Disaster Mitigation Adaptation Fund (DMAF) program for which the City has sought funding under various phases and been awarded funding under Phase 1.
As part of this program the Federal Government funds up to 50% of eligible project costs (to a maximum of $1.5M) in four streams: Risk Assessments, Flood Mapping, Mitigation Planning and Investments in Non-Structural and Small Scale Structural Mitigation Projects. The Municipality will fund the remaining 50% of eligible costs as well as any ineligible costs. Grant funding is also only provided upon completion of the project.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 128 of 176 Page 2 of 5 Applications/Project Proposals will be submitted to the Ontario Government. The Ontario Government screens the application to ensure compliance with their mandatory requirements as well compliance with federal program guidelines. Only those applications that are complete and comply with all program guidelines will be submitted to the federal government for funding consideration.
Intake 6 was announced November 9, 2020 with an application submission deadline of December 1, 2020. Eligible projects must begin in 2021-2022 fiscal year (April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022) and be completed by March 31, 2022.
Discussion:
In 2017 the City was awarded funding under the National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP) in the amount of $99,250 towards the Grand Marais Hydrology Assessment. This represented 50% of the total eligible project costs, $198,500.
As noted above the NDMP Intake 6 program was opened on November 9, 2020 with a submission date of December 1, 2020. Based on current projects which meet the criteria of the grant and are able to be assembled into a submission by December 1, 2020 the “Vulnerability & Risk Assessments for the West Windsor Area (Flood Risk Study along the Detroit River, West of Ambassador Bridge)” is being recommended for this grant application.
This is a study to quantify the risk to the area along the Detroit River, and inland, from the Ambassador Bridge to the City Boundary. The study is to include a review of LiDAR elevations and undertake field verification, as necessary. A detailed action plan will be prepared to address the risks.
A similar study, the East Riverside Flood Risk Assessment, was completed by Landmark Engineers Inc. in 2019. The findings were incorporated into the Sewer and Coastal Flood Protection Master Plan (SMP) by Dillon in 2020. The SMP also identified the need for an assessment of the risks and evaluate the need for coastal flood protection measures for the area west of the Ambassador Bridge.
Variability in water levels in the Detroit River has left the City of Windsor with the complex engineering challenge of how to protect residents, properties, and municipal infrastructure located near the Detroit River. The current water level trend remains near to coinciding to that of the historic high water levels set in 2019. The study is to include analysis of the sewer system connected directly to the Detroit River and public consultation with respect to the vulnerability and risk of such flooding and recommended solutions. Given current water levels it is best to complete this study as soon as possible.
The estimated cost to complete the project is $400,000, resulting in a grant request of $200,000.
To mitigate the risk of the project not meeting the grant timelines, Administration intends to issue and RFP for this work in February 2021. Recommendations are also included
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 129 of 176 Page 3 of 5 in this report allowing for the RFP to be awarded, pending written confirmation of the grant being awarded.
Risk Analysis: There is a slight risk that the project may have delays in implementation resulting in a loss of funding if the projects can’t be completed by March 31, 2022. The project lead for the project will communicate any slippage of timelines so the grant provider can be notified and we can negotiate with grant provider. Administration is also planning to issue the RFP in February so that should we receive notification of being successful in obtaining the grant funding the contract can be immediately awarded and work started.
There is the risk that the actual costs will exceed estimated costs. To mitigate this risk cost estimates include a contingency.
Failure to provide required reports will result in either a delay or suspension of project funding. This can be mitigated by ensuring funding is available if necessary, to hire resources to complete the reports.
Climate Change Risks
Climate Change Mitigation:
There are no climate change mitigation risks associated with the completion of this study.
Climate Change Adaptation:
This study will identify vulnerability and risks under current and future climate change projections including Detroit River high water levels and winter wave energy changes and how these changes will affect City infrastructure (roads and sewers) and associated impacts on the local Community.
Financial Matters:
The estimated total costs for this project is $400,000, all of which are also eligible expenses. As a result the funding request would be for $200,000 with the City required to provide $200,000 in matching funding. As this project was identified in the SMP, the Sewer Master Plan Implementation project (#7199004) is being recommended as the funding source. This project has unallocated funding to cover the $200,000 in City matching funding. It should be noted that this grant will only provide funding upon completion of the project. This project should be able to sustain the additional $200,000 in expenses until such time as the grant funding is received, without incurring financing costs to the project.

Good Morning,
In regards to Agenda item 8.4 for Nov 23, 2020 Council Meeting:
I would like to state my opposition to the proposed pumping station at St. Rose and Riverside Drive East location that is part of this plan. I feel this would destroy the precious greenspace and natural beauty of our waterfront in our city. Each day I observe families and children appropriately using this park. I have concerns that by installing a pumping station in this location it will restrict access to greenspace for those who enjoy this location. We already have an example of a horrendously ugly pumping station at St. Paul that has ruined greenspace. I ask that alternative locations be explored, such as at Miracle Park rather than continuing to destroy what little greenspace we have left along the waterfront.
Additionally, I find it disgraceful that notice of how to oppose this plan was provided to me with only approximately 24 hours prior to the deadline to respond. I can only interpret such actions as an intentional tactic to unfairly minimize the voice of those who oppose this.
Thank you for your consideration, DJ MacNeil

Good morning,
I am writing in regards to Agenda item 8.4 for Nov 23, 2020 Council Meeting:
I would like to state my opposition to the proposed pumping station at St. Rose and Riverside Drive East location that is part of this plan.
The greenspace is a precious and valuable resource. Once this greenspace is built upon, it is gone and cannot be reclaimed. Windsor is known for it’s beautiful waterfronts and respected for his protection of such beautiful spaces. Each day I observe families and children appropriately using this park. During the pandemic we have seen the trend of people recognizing the importance of nature and greenspace in preserving and healing their mental health. I have concerns that by installing a pumping station in this location it will restrict access to greenspace for those who enjoy this location. Many local business such as coffee shops and cafes have used the waterfront as a way to continue to create opportunities for families to have an outing in a safe place. An outing to grab an ice cream or coffee, to support a local business and to reconnect with loved ones. I ask that alternative locations be explored, such as at Miracle Park rather than continuing to destroy what little greenspace we have left along the water. I feel that the community would welcome alternative plans presented. The community is strong and pulls together in wonderful ways to raise funds, protect the community, and look out for one another.
Sincerely, Heather MacNeil

Devonshire Heights Ongoing Drainage and Flooding letters from residents
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 150 of 176 Item 11.5- Response to CQ 25-2020 – August 28, 2020 Flood Event ---- Ward 1 and 9
To: Mayor Dilkens and Windsor City Council
I am writing to you on behalf of many of the residents in the Devonshire Heights area regarding the ongoing drainage and flooding issues, particularly those living in close proximity to the Devonwoods forest.
Flooding and poor drainage have been a persistent issue here for a long time. Many of the residents have contacted the city for help and improvements to no avail. Many of them have had flooding multiple times, some to the point that insurance has cut them off and they now feel hopeless and resigned to the belief that no solution or help is available.
My situation is the same as the majority of houses on the west side of Woodward backing onto Devonwoods forest that have full basements. I have personally spoken with 7 households this past week on the 3700 and 3800 west block of Woodward that I can see have basements. I have also contacted some other residents on 3700-3900 block of Bliss and Byng, Shingle Creek and Devonwood to discuss their issues with multiple basement flooding. This has proven to me that this is an ongoing and widespread issue we are all facing. I have compiled letters from some of these residents that I could make contact with and am attaching them in this package. Residents backing on to the forest told me of their horrible stories of constantly fighting water each rain and the continued incoming water days afterwards. Some have multiple sump pumps in place and running lines out to the front and back, families have to drop another pump in and run a line out the window or down the sanitary drain nearby to keep up. And this is pretty much happening when we get any moderate to heavy rain or even straight days of light rain. We have to be home to man the pumps during storms. The next couple days following will be making sure the sump pumps are still working good and keeping the water flowing out. Some of us are routing discharge directly to the storm sewer and others into ditches, it does not seem to make a difference where the discharge is going. I have invested over twenty thousand dollars without any city subsidy trying to make improvements to drainage on my own property with some improvement.
It does not take a major rain event to create havoc at our homes and in our lives. A normal or moderate rain is all it takes to get our stress and anxiety up and start preparing for our sump pumps to start overworking and running multiple times an hour(anywhere from 3 min intervals and up), teetering down slowly over the days, until the next rain or snow to ramp back up again. This is every day, all year around. We do not even live by a body of water for this to make sense.
Now compound this with a heavy rain or days of steady rain, and we see days of our pumps running in the hundreds of times per day. Some pumps just don’t shut off for lengths of time.
In the general area, moderate/heavy storms are also flooding residential ditches, backing up sewers to the street level (but not overflowing most of the time), and sanitary (engaged BWV) putting the homes at high risk for flooding.

Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 151 of 176 Below are some points of observation and discussion in our neighborhood:
Dawson Drainage ditch This is a municipal drainage system that is not maintained. From what we understand this major drainage path should be maintained by the city. The years of overgrowth, shrubs, garbage and other debis. Off-grade. In heavy rains it is backing up and almost at backyard property level. This has happened now a couple times in 2019/2020. Previous to the past 2/3 years, residents have never seen this ditch back up like this. Approximately 8 years since last cleanup. This ditch needs to be improved and maintained to protect our homes. Should this not be deeper than our basements as this is a main municipal drainage path that is allowing water to infiltrate into our properties? See pictures below from various dates:
2
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 152 of 176 Devonwoods forest Holds water and cannot flow out to any ditches, no drainage. The edges of the forest are higher than the land it appears. Is this water going underground and finding the path of least resistance - our homes? This area is constantly supersaturated. 3 of the 4 seasons you cannot walk back there because it is underwater. New raised paths are now an option. Stagnating water breeds massive amounts of mosquitos.
Optimist park drainage solution for comparision:
Comments from various residents: To run sump pumps so much is very costly. Hydro bills are high. Getting worse each year. South of Calderwood roads, ditches flooded, water not moving when ditches fill in heavy rains have been observed. Storm sewers in moderate/heavy rains filling up to the road and now past year getting overland flooding. Causing many more basement flooding that those already previously impacted by area drainage. Subdivisions and stores building up all around our area, no changes to infrastructure to support this. The newer hotel and condominium on Division has been creating major issues for residents along these side streets. Dawson drainage ditch has been abandoned and is a mess. We are on the verge of flooding all the time – very stressful. Spoke to many professionals over the past 2 years – Dawson drainage is not sufficient and properties are not graded properly along Woodward. Homes were bought for retirement – stress and anxiety will cut that short! Days after the last rain, my sump pump is still activating alot? Where is all this water coming from? We have been contacting the city for years, no help - I don’t know what to do anymore. I give up.
In summary – there is a wide spread water management/drainage and flooding issue in this area that needs to be addressed. This area does not appear to be flagged on the Windsor improvement plan. With these issues getting worse each year, we need this addressed. A couple of us now have devices that quantify the activity. If you would like to review any data we can provide.
With your help and further investigation, it is our hope that we can quickly now solve and remedy these issues in the Devonshire Height neighborhood.

3805 Woodward Blvd drainage issues
Sean Delmore Thu 2020-11-19 3:27 PM To: Jayme Lauzon Cc: Dear City Council
I am writing to ask that you hire a consultant to do a full and transparent review of the Woodward Blvd drainage issues that have been plaguing us for years.
I am a home owner at 3805 Woodward Blvd and when I built my home at this location approx 10 years ago I dreamed of the enjoyment of backing onto the Devonwoods Conservation area. I payed a premium for the empty building lot as well as a great deal of money to the city of Windsor in Development fees and building permits to construct my home.
From the time we closed the house in during construction and dug the mandatory sump pump pit I have had water entering the pit 24/7 365 days a year.
I have had the underground water lines checked for breaks and was assured that the water was ground water and not potable. I have had the city out with the help of my past city councillor Hillary Payne to review the water issue and the maintenance of the Hydro easement and ditch at the rear of our properties and was successful once in 10 at getting the brush cut from the ditch to allow unimpeded water flow during storms to the catch basin approx .4 houses to the North.
We were also advised by Hillary that after a study of the drainage in the area that is was a great disaster and the city could not fix this area or is not willing to fix it do to the grades being so bad. I don’t see this area in the current storm sewer or long term master plans anywhere to do a study and get facts and plan to help out the residents in this area especially the ones backing onto the woods.
I believe that we are in fact getting left behind and no one is willing to stand up and get answers as to why do we have to live with the stress of having water 24/7 entering our homes and I personally have got through approx 6 different sump pumps from low end to high end to try to reduce the stress of the water and always worried the basement will flood. This has cost me approx over $3000.00 in pumps that I personally installed over the years so no labour added.
I have attached a few photos of the Spy Pump history records for you to see and ask you really consider if you would like your family to have to live with the constant threat of flooding in your home as we currently do.
One last thing, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with the current struggles the city and residents face every storm with the retention of storm water do to the excessive rain events we are all facing, this is a drainage issue for the area that goes on 24/7 365 days a year.
Thanks for you time Sean Delmore

RE: Woodward Boulevard
To Whom It May Concern:
We are Sean and Dawn Comerford and we live at 3795 Woodward Boulevard. We have lived in our house since July of 2013 and have had our basement flood twice.
The first time was on August 29, 2017 during a heavy rain. Water just poured up the drain in our basement floor.
Our finished half of our basement consisted of a family room, bathroom and spare bedroom.
During this flood we lost all the carpeting, vinyl flooring, baseboards, doors and drywall.
We eventually repaired the basement. We decided to go without carpeting and went with durable vinyl flooring with underlayment that had dimples in it to help with water if the basement should flood again.
The second flood was on August 28, 2020, almost 3 years to the day of the first flood. Again, it happened during a heavy rain event but with a lot more water coming up from the drain.
U:\Letter to City.docx Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 159 of 176 This time our basement consisted of a family room, bathroom, media room and spare bedroom all with durable vinyl flooring. We estimate that we had around 5” of water in our basement.
We had 3 sump pumps going trying to keep up with the water with no success. Our sump pump in the pit burnt out because it could not keep up.
Because of the amount of water and how long it took for it to stop pouring into our basement, not only did we lose the flooring, doors, baseboards and drywall but also furniture.
We also rode around our neighborhood and noticed that part of 3700 block of Bliss Road was flooded.
The other problem in our area is the ditch between our backyard and the Conservation area. Every time that we have a heavy rain this ditch fills up. There is a drain in it, but only once
U:\Letter to City.docx - 2 - Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 160 of 176 have we seen someone from the City come out to check it and the only reason we know someone came out was because the inspector knocked on our door.
As of today, we still do not have use of our basement. Something has to be done regarding these issues. As taxpayers what are our taxes going towards? Should it be going towards fixing the problem?
If you would like to contact us, we can be reached at 519-258-2545. Thank you.
Sincerely, Sean Comerford Dawn Comerford Sean Comerford Dawn Comerford
U:\Letter to City.docx - 3 - Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 161 of 176 To whom it may concern,
I am writing on behalf of myself and many others who have experience water/flooding issues in the around the 3700-3900 blocks of Woodward Blvd. I know personally my house has flooded or has more water than my sump pump can handle twice since I moved in in 2015. And I know from talking to neighbours that previous owner have water issues at least twice before since I took ownership of the house. I see the ongoing project on Byng, I would like to know if that is some benefit to the whole neighborhood I would to be shown how that is. People on woodward I am convinced have more of an issue with water that Byng due the water that gets trapped in Devon woods. With the amount of water that sits in Devon woods conservation area (more like a swamp after any amount of rain has fallen) I am convinced that the water that accumulates in Devon woods after any amount of rainfall has nowhere to go other than seeping into the ground where it seems to be being pumped out to storm drains by mine and many other peoples sump pumps. Why are myself and many others on these blocks left responsible to pump water out the storm drains, at our own cost, running a sump for sometimes two days straight is not cheap on the hydro bill. In the time I have lived here on the 3700 block of Woodward, during any significant rainfall I check the ditch that runs behind my house (the west side of woodward) and cant recall ever seeing any water in that ditch, why do I not see water in there ever? Also with the new Kamloops subdivision being built between Calderwood & Marentette I would like to be assured that whatever drainage infrastructure was put in place is sufficient to handle all the water in this area. Im convinced it isn’t because everyone knows that a lot of those new builds had flooded recently (just shortly after being completed) In closing its not fair for citizens to be spending money on something the city should be taking responsibility for. be buying new sump pumps every couple years because the city will not

Concerned citizen

Dear Madam or Sir
I am writing to express my concern about the continual flooding in the Devonwoods Conservation area.
I purchased my residence at 3757 Shinglecreek in or about May 2013. It is a two story with a full basement and it backs onto the Devonwood Conservation area. I proceeded to finish the basement after I took possession. Then four (4) floods occurred. My basement was destroyed, and belongings were damaged each time. The flooring had to be torn up and replaced three (3) times. The drywall had to be cut up and items that were water damages had to be replaced. My insurance only covered two (2) of the floods and the other two (2) had to be paid by me out of pocket. I will not be covered by insurance if there is another flood.
I have had to install a new and an additional sump pump and add drains in the basement window wells to try to stop the flooding as well as add downspouts all around my house. These measures seem to be working but my sump pump is running constantly.
The rain storms are more frequent now and every time it storms I am on high alert and checking my basement constantly in case it floods again. Attached is a photo of the most recent rain storm in August 2020. As you can see the street is flooded outside my house. The ditch behind my house is also full each time it storms. I called the City after hours number to notify them of the flooding as did some of my neighbors. Within hours of this flooding, the street was drained. It was as if the City turned on a switch to open the drains.
I do not feel that the sewer system is adequate to handle the volume of rain that accumulates during these frequent storms. More houses are being built in this area and I fear that the system will be over loaded as it cannot handle the already existing homes.
By way of this letter, I am requesting that the City conduct and investigation and take appropriate measures to address the flooding issue and lack of sewer capacity in this area.
Yours truly Anita Landry

Flooding on Bliss.. Byng... Woodward
Debbie R Tue 2020-11-17 8:27 PM To: Cc: [email protected]
This areas drainage is based on a ditch system so why is it so many homes have the ditch filled in? Perhaps if these ditches were open and able to hold more water during the downpour my ditch wouldn't have filled up so quickly causing me to flood again.
Ditches in 3600 and 3700 have hardly any pipe opening to move the water. These ditches never get inspected. They are not clear!! A er the last flood in 2017 ditches were dredged out but only a few. Mine was one of them I believe our water runs towards the Expressway?
However, it can't get past the corner!!
Roads were flooded but less water in other areas between 7 houses. Pooling in front of closed in ditches this shouldn't be allowed. I feel like I am in the middle of a dish in this block. I do realize how heavy and quickly the rain came down. Homes with filled in ditches didn't seem to flood. Will the City fill mine in if I pay for it? Does the city just inspect it? What are my opinions?
Something needs to be done.. There is a major drainage issue in this area!! Filled in ditches need to be opened up or fill in the open ditches!
It is just heart wrenching seeing your basement fill up with water and rebuilding again. My basement is part of my home and I feel I should be able to use it. . Most people do not have insurance anymore since the 2017 disaster flood and don't use that space in their own home. Just not right.
It is November and my basement almost done a er 3 mths, two days without hot water, 2 weeks without washer/dryer and delivery date for furniture is March 2021 if I'm lucky. Insurance company will no longer cover water damage. I've installed the back water valve and sump pump. Wai ng for my rebate from the city.
A er speaking to so many neighbours about this issue who are not only on Bliss but on Byng and Woodward. This whole area has a serious problem with drainage.

Hi I have had flooding issues for years at my house which is a four-level back split. I filed one claim when it first came up the drain a er we just finished making two bed rooms on the fourth level. A er the claim was finished the company we deal with said we were no longer covered for flooding due to coming through the drain. We then had another 1 more flood which we repaired the dry wall and the carpe ng at our cost. the third me we just ripped up the dry wall and the carpe ng, then put up all the totes and boxes we stored on raised shelving. I do need to note that I have never complained to the city before the last flood, at which me I filed a complaint through 311. the me before we put shelving up, I was storing my mother's pictures and other childhood memories that cannot be replaced. going forward I will con nue to complain when we are flooded because of the drain. We pay over $3000.00 in property taxes and do not have sidewalks , do not get plowed when we get too much snow because our block is not on a bus route. I am red of the service we get from this city and flooding. Sincerely Theresa Woods. Windsor, On

Good afternoon,
We reside at 3875 Bliss Rd, Windsor ON. , and we’ve been here in this house since March 30, 2014. In this time our basement has flooded twice, through no fault of our own. THAT, is entirely the fault of the City of Windsor and it’s archaic infrastructure.
Flood #1 August 2017.
We get a call from our neighbour that our basement has 6 inches of water in it, due to the torrential rainfall. The rain is up over the ditches and on the road. We stand on our front step surveying the neighbourhood. We watch idiots rooster tailing through the flooded street.
Entering the house we look down the stairs to our basement. And what do we see? Six inches of water and one of my winter boots floating by. As we wade into the water and we see the massive loss and damage this has caused, I can’t even bring myself to cry. My husband rushes off to Canadian Tire to purchase another pump so we can get the water out of the house as I call our insurance adjuster to get the ball rolling. The adjuster arrives later that night for a summary inspection. They will return once the basement has been pumped out completely. Once pumped out we have friends come over to help us take ruined goods from our basement. Do you have any idea how long it takes to catalogue the loses? Things I/we CANNOT replace. Things that belonged to my deceased parents. Unless you have been through a flood, then YOU have no bloody idea what it is like mentally and physically. The ruined lifetime mementoes. The ruined furniture. The ruined photos. The ruined carpets and clothes and Christmas items, the ruined floors and wall and the freezer, washer/dryer, furnace….hot water heater. Then there is the stress of having to go out to purchase replacement appliances and whatever else you lost…if it can be replaced at all. Some things are beyond saving and can NEVER be replaced.
My husband called the city to see if any assistance was available and you know what the ‘Karen’ on the phone had the nerve to say? She said we aren’t flooded as we aren’t in the flood zone. Well I have news for you. I have the photos of our basement. And I have photos of the neighbourhood with ruined possessions on front lawns.
Do you know what it’s like the ‘smell’ a flood leaves behind? It permeates your entire house. Open the doors and windows. It doesn’t matter. It still stinks. It takes weeks for everything to dry enough to get rid of the stench. Anything that was salvaged is now spread out all over house. It looks like you’ve been invaded hoarders. It stays that way until the repairs are done and that can takes months. Not weeks but months. Why so long you ask? Because 6,000+ homes in Windsor were flooded. What the hell is wrong with that picture? Seriously? Renovation companies are stretched to the breaking point. It is an absolutely insane way to have to live for months. Then once the renovations have been done you need to get in the duct cleaners because of the dust. Then you have to go through your house and put back all the things that are spread out through your home. You must clean everything, and I mean EVERYTHING you own. Walls have to be washed down, couches, beds every single thing that dust has settled on, which is every damned thing in the house. Clothes have to be washed, all bedding has to be washed – to get the dust and flood stink out. That takes time, and when you work that’s even worse.
Thankfully we have flood insurance and everything is covered to the tune of almost $30,000.00.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 168 of 176 Flood #2 August 2020
My husband is away working. I get up in the morning and look out the front door. I feel sick. The ditch is full and the water is at least 3 inches over the road. And yes, I have the photos to prove it. I know what I’m going to find when I look in the basement, I can smell it and sure enough, another six inches of water. I wade into the waters. I see the cat’s litter box floating, along with a couple of laundry baskets and other assorted items. I look at the litter box and actually started to laugh hysterically. I have to deal with this pretty much by myself…but hey on the plus side I’ve been through this before so I know the ropes, and if you think I’m being sarcastic, you’re damned right I am. I called my boss and he was kind enough to come over and help me get the water out of the basement. Again, I call the insurance company. That night the adjuster shows up and over the next couple of days anything not damaged it brought up into my family room and living room. Again it looks like a bloody hoarder lives in my house. I am SO angry.
Our neighbour takes a walk along Bliss Rd. He comes back to tell me what he has seen. I go check it out as well. From the 3700 block heading toward EC Rowe the water in the ditches is flowing. You can see it move. As you get to the other end of Bliss, barely any water in the ditches. At the 3800/3900 block the water is still up over the road and it’s not moving at all. It doesn’t take an engineer to figure out something is wrong. If it’s not flowing that means a blockage. I call the City of Windsor and they give me the email address and phone number of a city engineer. I can’t remember his name but his email is: [email protected]. I’m told it could take several days to get back to me – the excuse is Covid 19. How convenient! Try and call and his mail box if full so I left an email explaining what I saw. He got back to me and said someone would be out to look at it. Well I sure as hell didn’t see anyone from the city, nor did any of my neighbours. I email him back asking when will someone be out. Never did receive a reply. Thanks for the great customer service City of Windsor (insert eye roll here)
At least we got smart after 2017 and kept things in plastic tubs and mostly off the floor. But not everything could be taken off the floor. I lost a washer, dryer and freezer this time, along with Christmas ornaments and three Christmas trees, , some other items, oh and building materials for further renos we wanted to do in the house – and guess what!? Those are not covered by insurance. Thankfully, the loses were nothing like the August 2017 flood. Still, it’s about $10,000.00 in damages. I wonder if we will still have flood insurance or if our insurance company is going to tell us to piss up a rope. I know several of our neighbours can no longer get flood insurance.
We are so incredibly angry. You can’t even begin to imagine. It's time the City of Windsor do something about the flooding issue. It’s not a 100 year event as claimed….my math sucks but twice in 3 years…that is NOT a 100 year event. I don’t understand how the hell you can waste a million dollars on stupid Christmas lights. That million dollars would go a long way in fixing the flooding issues in our neighbourhood. I bet if Dilken’s basement flooded, it would be taken care of pronto.
As of this writing, the contractors are in my basement and hopefully they will be done by Friday. Then, once they are done I get to clean every wall and every surface and every damned thing we own AGAIN, to get the dust off. Then I’ll go wash all our clothes and bedding. I swear that I still smell that ‘flood stink’. Then I think I’m going to have a very much deserved bottle of wine.
Consolidated Agenda - November 23, 2020 Page 169 of 176 If you would like to see the photos, or if you require any further information please feel free to contact me.
Also, just for the record, it does not have to be one torrential downpour. When it rains all day or night we constantly keep our eye on the water level in the ditches. Do you know what it’s like having to continuously get up in the night to check? That sick feeling wondering if we are going to find water in the basement again. I’ve seen the ditches full just from an extended period of fairly gentle rain – the issue is a blockage somewhere along the line.
Hopefully the City of Windsor will do something about this before Devonshire Heights has flood #3.
Thank You
Wendy Hart

Fri 2020-11-20 6:06 AM
To whom it may concern, I have lived in devonshire heights since 2003. My first home was on irongate circle. In the 12 years I lived there my basement flooded twice. Both times my sump pump couldnt keep up with the water coming in. In 2015 I moved to calderwood in the 5 years I have been there it has also flooded twice. Again my sump could not keep up. During these two floods I noticed the amount of water even on the streets was not going down the drains. The water was as high as the curb across the entire street. And my back yard looked like a small lake. I would really like to see our drainage looked at. This can not keep happening. As a single mom the amount of stress and anxiety I get a every rainfall now is just uneccesary. And with more housing units being added just adds to my stress since our drainage system cant seem to keep up to the houses already here. There has to be something you as the city could do to help us out. I realize the city is offering a rebate for backflow valves. Instead of a rebate why not just install them in our troubled areas. Why should we have to put out money for your errors. Like I said as a single mom we cant all afford this. But I question if we would need these if our drainage worked properly. Please look into our area and help relieve some of the stress on our families that many of us have over potential future flooding.

Theresa Woods Wed 2020-11-18 12:23 PM To: Hi I have had flooding issues for years at my house which is a four-level back split. I filed one claim when it first came up the drain a er we just finished making two bed rooms on the fourth level. A er the claim was finished the company we deal with said we were no longer covered for flooding due to coming through the drain. We then had another 1 more flood which we repaired the dry wall and the carpe ng at our cost. the third me we just ripped up the dry wall and the carpe ng, then put up all the totes and boxes we stored on raised shelving. I do need to note that I have never complained to the city before the last flood, at which me I filed a complaint through 311. the me before we put shelving up, I was storing my mother's pictures and other childhood memories that cannot be replaced. going forward I will con nue to complain when we are flooded because of the drain. We pay over $3000.00 in property taxes and do not have sidewalks , do not get plowed when we get too much snow because our block is not on a bus route. I am red of the service we get from this city and flooding. Sincerely Theresa Woods.

Jerome Lesperance Thu 2020-11-19 7:43 PM To: To whom it may concern: My name is Jerome Lesperance and I live in the Devonshire heights community on Lappan avenue since 1993. Over the past 27 years , though we have been fortunate to not have flooded , we have witnessed many neighbors and neighborhood homes flood . Sometimes the same families have experienced flooding more than once and some times up to 3 flooding. It's not just the homes that are flooding but the streets as well , such as Byng, Bliss and Turner roads . Others areas such as Fuller crescent etc , they also flood. The sewer system in this area is not just antiquated it is also get overwhelmed with each and every major rain fall. Part of the problem lies in fact that our community is being over developed without proper sewer system upgrades. Our community needs immediate attention in this matter , families here cannot afford to wait for the next flooded basement . Thank you . Jerome Lesperance
