We received a grant from the County of Lanark $85,000. We received a community grant from the from the Town of Smiths Falls of $8,500. An additional $517,000 received through the provincial Gas Tax Money. Value for Money $SF Community Grant / Number of trips = SF cost per trip $8,500 / 6002 = $1.42 Each trip that LTA provided to a resident of the Town of Smiths was subsidized by the community grant by $1.42. Gas Tax Money ⚫ In 2018 LTA received $166,000 for capital (vehicle) purchases and $351,000 for operating costs. ⚫ The grant money that LTA receives from Lanark County and the Town of Smiths Falls qualifies the service for gas tax money. Gas Tax Money ⚫ The amount of Gas Tax money received is dependent upon: • The population of Lanark County. • The number of kilometres travelled. • The number of passengers carried. Affordable for All LTA charges $110 for a return trio to Ottawa. Private services charge 3 to 4 times as much. If a client is registered with OW or ODSP the cost of the trip is directly invoiced to their agency. Subsidy Available The cost of this trip to people not with an agency is subsidized between 98% and 20% dependent on income. People with an income of < $12,000 would pay $2.00. A household income of between $12 - $15,000 would pay between $4 and $12 depending on the destination. In 2018 we have subsidized trips in the amount of $36,000 Partnerships LTA has formed partnerships with the following groups to provide transportation: Lanark County Mental Health The Table Interval House YAK Algonquin Employment Services 3 Service Models Individual need, for example a doctor’s appointment. Agency or organization need. For example, a five- week therapeutic riding program organized by youth centre. Ride the LT - Modified fixed route pilot project in Lanark Highlands launched in April 2018 and another version in Carleton Place in October 2019.

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

K0J 1K0 Executive Summary Rural Ontario has experienced enormous change in the last fifty years. While the rural population has become predominantly non-farm based, the structure of the rural economy has experienced a major transformation with service sector jobs now exceeding the number of jobs in agriculture. Other indicators such as declining farm numbers and farm jobs seems to confirm the view held by some that agriculture is a fading industry. However, a closer look at the Agriculture sector shows that it remains an important engine of economic growth in Ontario. Between 1985 and 1995, farm gate sales in Ontario experienced an average annual increase of 3.5%, rising from $5,511 million to $7,778 million. Projected farm gate sales of $8,840 million for 1999 suggest that agriculture is continuing on its course of growth.
