  • OSHA Residency Stud11
    OSHA Residency Study Background Residency rules have been in place in minor and other sports organizations since inception. These rules are put in place for many reasons & rationale, including but not inclusive of: • It provides for a more competitive balance within leagues and between leagues/teams. • Specific to sledge hockey, residency guidelines should increase recruiting in much more concentrated areas increasing expansion of existing clubs, new clubs and greater availability of the sport to potential athletes. • No one team can load up on talent. • Leads to better/more parity for better overall player development • Most are based on “a player must play for the nearest centre by highway” saving travel time, allowing for greater flexibility is scheduling and less forfeits/cancelations due to lack of players, inclement weather, etc. There are many reasons for residency rules and the vast majority of them are directly applicable to the Ontario Sledge Hockey Association League. An analysis of the league and organizations that make up OSHA has been done using Ontario Census estimations with the following results: The following drawing areas have 1 competitive team from them, and possible 1 recreational team coming from them: Windsor/Essex/Chatham – 500K Sarnia – 120K London/Woodstock/Aylmer/Surrounding Area – 500K Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge/Surrounding Area – 600K Hamilton & Surrounding Area – 600K North Bay – 50K Sudbury – 160K Surrounding Northern Region without NB & Sudbury – 250K Niagara/St. Cath/Welland & Surrounding Niagara Peninsula – 415K Peterborough – 75K Kawartha – 75K Lakeshore/Cobourg – 20K Ottawa – 800K Kingston – 120K Simcoe County/Elmvale – 225K (Without Barrie & Orillia) The province is generally divided into counties, which can serve as natural dividing lines for much of the province.

  • Ontario Tech Indigenous Land Acknowledgement
    A Guide to Acknowledging Traditional Territory Rationale As the journey towards reconciliation at the university continues, and we strive to fulfill the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) calls to action, it is important that we continue to build relationships and engage in ongoing education. Reconciliation and allyship is a continuous process and one that we all need to engage in fully. With this in mind, we must take every appropriate opportunity to acknowledge the traditional territory on which the university resides. Acknowledging the traditional territory expresses respect, gratitude and appreciation for the Indigenous peoples who have inhabited and continue to live on the land. It is recognition of their presence both in the past and the present. Recognition helps to create a welcome and safe environment for Indigenous students, their families and community members. Best practices • There is a difference between a welcoming and a land acknowledgement. A welcoming is a gesture made to welcome people to the territory. The welcoming should be done by a person from that territory. A land acknowledgement is recognizing the territory and the traditional people of the lands. It is the responsibility of the host of the event to do the land acknowledgement. The respectful approach would be a non- Indigenous person, however, Indigenous people also do land acknowledgements. • The acknowledgment or welcome should be the first item on the agenda and should be done before introducing speakers. When should you acknowledge the traditional territory? A land acknowledgement should be done at the beginning of any gathering to begin in a good way.

But it is not always straightforward for citizens to understand the state of their municipal government’s finances, and even less straight- forward to understand how their government performs relative to other municipalities. To help create awareness and encourage debate, this report provides a summary analy- sis of important financial information for 26 municipalities in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), spanning the eight-year period from 2009 to 2016. Government spending There is considerable variation in per-person spending among the GTHA’s 26 munici- palities. Toronto, the region’s largest city, was the highest spender in 2016 ($4,010 per person), while Milton spent the least ($2,385 per person). Mississauga, Brampton and Hamilton, the region’s next largest cities, spent $2,705, $2,804, and $3,086, respectively.

  • 3.0 Study Area Description and Existing Conditions
    3.0 STUDY AREA DESCRIPTION AND EXISTING CONDITIONS This chapter looks at existing environmental conditions and the natural and cultural heritage of Port Perry and the Lake Scugog watershed in general. For the purpose of this report, the information provided in sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 came primarily from the review of existing documents with a majority of the information coming from the Lake Scugog Environmental Management Plan. 3.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND HYDROLOGY 3.1.1 PHYSIOGRAPHY The physiographic characteristics of the Port Perry area are the result of glacial activity during the Pleistocene Epoch (2.6 million to 12,000 years before present). The primary physiographic units represented in and around the Port Perry area are; the Oak Ridges Moraine located to the south the Peterborough Drumlin Field located north of the Moraine, west of Port Perry, and to the east of Lake Scugog toward Peterborough; and the Schomberg Clay Plain, which represents the Port Perry urban area and the areas around and to the north of Lake Scugog. The Oak Ridges Moraine to the south of Port Perry is roughly 225 meters above Lake Ontario and has a surface of sand overlaying lacustrine silts and clays. The Oak Ridges Moraine is a significant geological feature and aquifer recharge area where many of the headwaters of local streams and rivers, including the Nonquon River and Osler Marsh, are located (Chapman & Putnam, 1984). Drumlin fields located close to the Moraine, such as those found within the Port Perry watersheds, are often covered by shallow layers of silt and fine sand deposited by wind.
