View the Asset Management Plan
Asset Management Plan Township of Zorra December 2020 Township of Zorra | Asset Management Plan Precursor In 2012, the Province of Ontario published “Building Together: Guide for Municipal Asset Management Plans” (AMP) to encourage and support municipalities in Ontario to develop AMP(s) in a consistent manner. In 2015, Ontario passed the Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act, which affirmed the role that municipal infrastructure systems play in supporting the vitality of local economics. After a year-long industry review, the Province created Ontario Regulation 588/17 – Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure under the Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act. O. Reg. 588/17 further expands on the Building Together guide, mandating specific requirements for municipal Asset Management Polices and Asset Management Plans, phased in over a five-year period. O. Reg. 588/17 has a phased approach in the development of Strategic Asset Management Policy and Municipal Asset Management Plan. 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Page 1 Table of Contents Precursor ................................................................................................................................... 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 4 Benefits of an Asset Management Plan ................................................................................... 5 Components of an Asset Management Plan ..........................................................................

Playing the Canadian Game: Baseball’S Missing Chapter in Uncovering the Triumph of the New York Style! by William Humber [email protected]
Playing the Canadian Game: Baseball’s Missing Chapter in Uncovering the Triumph of the New York Style! by William Humber [email protected] The 4 June 1838 baseball-type game in Beachville, Upper Canada described in stunningly fulsome detail by Dr. Adam Ford in a letter to the Sporting Life of Philadelphia in 1886 continues to befuddle historians. (Beachville is a small village five miles west of Woodstock, Ontario; Upper Canada was the name of today’s Ontario – a full map description of places in this essay is found on page 22) Two noted Canadian academics, (Robert Barney of the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, and Nancy Bouchier, today a professor at McMaster University in Hamilton), in their 1988 analysis in the Journal of Sport History i are generally sympathetic to the authenticity of Ford’s account despite Ford being six at the time. (He turned seven two months later). David Blockii is skeptical suggesting the account may fall into the Abner Graves file of discredited origins and that in the absence of additional authentication one should be leery about its integrity. Most recently Brian “Chip” Martin’s Baseball’s Creation Mythiii describes the surprising overlap between Ford and Graves’s lives not only in the Denver Colorado of the late 19th century, but in other personal ways. He speculates, because a smoking gun could not be found, that Graves and Ford being at the very least drinking buddies, shared a love of baseball and possibly as well, tall tales, one of which flowed from Ford’s recollection of a childhood game in Beachville into Graves’s head.

Oxford County municipalities launch community engagement initiative to build a new Community & Safety Well-being Plan Safe & Well Oxford aims to connect local organizations and residents to gather insights September, 14, 2020 - Safe & Well Oxford is an initiative launched by municipalities across Oxford County, including The Townships of Blandford-Blenheim, East Zorra- Tavistock, Norwich, Zorra and Southwest Oxford, together with the Town of Ingersoll, the Town of Tillsonburg, and the City of Woodstock. The project aims to understand the complex issues facing urban and rural communities more than ever, in particular those that put a strain on healthcare and social systems, protective services, and overall community health and well-being. As part of the Police Services Act, municipalities are required to develop and adopt a Community Safety & Well-being Plan by 2021 that addresses priority community risks with proactive, integrated strategies. Working in partnership with an advisory committee with representation from police and local service providers in health / mental health, education, community and social services, and children and youth services, the municipalities will create a plan to improve the overall well-being of their communities and enhance the lives of residents. The unprecedented situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic underscores the need to plan for and protect the health, resiliency and vitality of community and economic systems. “Our hope for this plan is to help create safer, healthier and more vibrant communities
