ADJOURN REGIONAL COUNCIL MINUTES December 12, 2001 The following are the minutes of the Regular Council meeting held at 7:00 p.m. in the Regional Council Chambers, 150 Frederick Street, Kitchener, Ontario, with the following members present: Chair K. Seiling, D. Bergman, J. Brewer, T. Galloway, J. Haalboom, F. Kent, J. Martens, J. Mitchell, W. Roth, J. Smola, B. Strauss, S. Strickland, J. Wideman, L. Woolstencroft, and C. Zehr. Regrets: D. Craig. DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY INTEREST UNDER THE MUNICIPAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST ACT None declared. DELEGATIONS a) Peter Cameron, Project Co-ordinator and Linda Nagel, Chairperson, Waterloo Region Co-op Council re: Co-operative Community Economic Development. P. Cameron and L. Nagel explained the importance of Co-operatives in the Region. They noted co-ops were organized to ensure affordable projects, to provide reliable services, to provide secure employment and for people to invest in their own communities. Co-ops and credit unions help keep dollars circulating within the local economy as their members are co- owners as well as consumers in their co-ops. They explained there are now 58 co-operative organizations in the Region of Waterloo serving 46,000 members. In the year 2001 these co- ops provided approximately 500 jobs directly to the regional economy. P. Cameron and L. Nagel advised that the Trillium Foundation had helped them to prepare a map and they were asking Regional Council to help them distribute the map. Council agreed to help support the Co-op Council with the distribution of the map. b) Ruth Forbes, Parents of Technologically Dependent Children on Ontario re: Grant request. (Refer AF-01-012/S, Item 1.) R. Forbes appeared in support of the recommendation contained in the Administration and Finance Committee summary from December 5, 2001. R. Forbes explained that Kids Country Club provides respite care for children. This gives parents, with dependent children, an opportunity for a break on an occasional or part time basis. Many children who are technologically dependent are now looked after at home and not in institutions. Without the services of organizations such as Kids Country Club parents would not get the support they need from the community. R. Forbes asked the Region to support a grant that would be the Council - 2 - 01/12/12 equivalent of the development charges required for their new building. Councillors debated the pros and cons of providing such a grant. Several Councillors noted this type of grant has been provided on only a few occasions in the past and questioned if it should be granted this time. Council did not want to set a precedent of providing grants to non-profit agencies to offset development charges. Council did note that on one other similar occasion a grant had been provided to the Rotary Children Centre. Other Councillors asked why the funds were being taken from the various reserve funds. Larry Ryan, Chief Financial Officer explained the Region collects development charges based on the requirements of these funds and therefore the same formula was being applied for the grant. MOVED by T. Galloway SECONDED by J. Brewer THAT the Regional Municipality of Waterloo approve the request of Parents of Technologically Dependent Children of Ontario, Central West Kids Country Club for a grant in the amount of $6,160.00 to be funded $3,712 from Water, $372 from Wastewater and $2,076 from the 2001 Contingency fund, subject to review of the project financial statements by Regional Staff. CARRIED ( Refer Item 1 of AF-01-012/S) PRESENTATIONS a) Ken Seiling, Regional Chair - Presentation of certificates to mark the 25th Anniversary of the Regional Official Policies Plan (ROPP) to Bill Thomson, Mark Stagg, Mark Dorfman, Wendy Wright, Frank Watty and Gerry Thompson, staff who were involved in the generation of the initial ROPP twenty-five years ago. K. Seiling presented certificates to Bill Thomson, Mark Stagg, Mark Dorfman, Wendy Wright, Frank Watty and Gerry Thompson. B. Thomson briefly explained the development of the Region’s first Official Plan. He noted that many of the areas explored in the plan were new and the Province has since taken those ideas and put them into Provincial Policy statements. The Plan developed the first policies for such things as the protection of agricultural lands, settlement policies, environmentally sensitive areas. B. Thomson noted that former Regional Chair Jack Young and members of Regional Council at the time, had been very supportive of the Official Plan initiative. b) Larry Kotseff, Commissioner Planning, Housing and Community Services Department - Presentation on Smart Growth. Larry Kotseff, Commissioner Planning, Housing and Community Services delivered a slide presentation on Smart Growth. The presentation highlighted the following topics; the Region’s development as a leader over the past 25 years, the challenges ahead, the opportunity of Smart Growth to build on the Official Plan, specific approaches for improvement, keys to the Region’s success, recommended approach, financial implications, and various considerations. Items that will be considered are: location, the environment, Council - 3 - 01/12/12 agriculture, urban/rural structure, alternatives to the automobile, quality of life, growth requirements, and broad Regional policy considerations. L. Kotseff stressed the need for a balanced approach to the community goals. MOVED by F. Kent SECONDED by B. Strauss THAT the Regional Municipality of Waterloo approve the approach and timelines regarding the Regional Smart Growth Strategy as outlined in Report P-01-141, dated December 4, 2001. CARRIED (Refer Item 3 of PW-01-019/S) c) Mr. Brad Ullner and Ms. Paula Saunders, Assessment/Design Committee of the Kitchener-Waterloo Barrier Free Advisory Committee, and Ms. Margaret Sanderson, Inclusion Co-ordinator, Community Services Department - Presentation of a thank you plaque to Regional Council.

When the gravity of the COVID-19 pandemic became clear in March 2020, Canada, like many other nations, imposed strict “lockdown” measures on almost all sectors of society. Overnight, most Canadians became confined to their homes. Office buildings, malls, streets, public spaces and airports emptied. Only essential services, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations, were allowed to operate under strict “physical distancing” conditions. As our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) grew and lockdown measures persisted for several weeks and months, glaring inefficiencies in community design started to become unignorable. Our response to challenges that had previously been inadequately addressed - multimodal transportation, a high-quality public realm, age-friendly and accessible planning, for example - have now become essential precursors for the creation of a resilient post-pandemic world. Conversations on the future of cities have become commonplace in mainstream society, and some of the best and brightest minds in the planning profession have made valuable contributions to this discourse.

  • My IMPACT 19 Festival Scrapbook
    IMPACT Festival My IMPACT 19 Festival Scrapbook On September 24 – 29, 2019, MT Space brought 50 powerful performances to Downtown Kitchener. Here are the highlights. MT Space was founded upon the value of centralizing marginalized and racialized artists and stories, filling what seemed to be a great void in a community of many different peoples. MT Space was founded in 2004 by Lebanese-Canadian Majdi Bou-Matar, who was a trained director, actor, and dancer. Majdi relocated to Canada when his wife was accepted to University of Waterloo to pursue a PhD. Thinking that Majdi would continue his career in Canada as a multi-talented artist, he auditioned with various theatre companies in Southern Ontario. After receiving the same criticism over and over, hearing that his accent was too thick or that he “didn’t look the part”, Majdi decided to create a company that would become a platform for all artists that felt marginalized, racialized, and displaced. This is how MT Space was born. For the past fifteen years MT Space has been fulfilling its mandate by creating, producing, touring and presenting artistic work that reflects Canada’s cultural diversity. Since 2004, MT Space has become a conduit for internationally trained immigrants and newcomer professionals across all disciplines. In July 2016, Pam Patel – who had been an artistic associate with MT Space since 2008 and mentored with Majdi – stepped into the role of Artistic Director and looks forward to ushering the organization into its next decade of powerful artistic work, bringing with her a South Asian background and Canadian upbringing.

  • Ontario's Partnership with Toyota Is Great News for the Automotive
    Friday, July 31, 2015 – for immediate release Ontario’s Partnership with Toyota is great news for the automotive sector in Ontario and Canada The Ontario Auto Mayors are pleased with today’s announcement by the Ontario government to partner with Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc. by investing in new technology to help sustain Toyota’s Cambridge and Woodstock assembly plants. “There is a continuing need for new investment to sustain and grow the automotive industry in Canada,” Oakville’s Mayor Rob Burton, Chair of the Ontario Auto Mayors said. “Today’s announcement recognizes this need and is a great example of partnership and investment between governments and the automotive sector.” This Provincial partnership announcement includes the addition of a new metal stamping line at the Woodstock plant which will double capacity, increase productivity, reduce the need to import parts and enable Toyota’s Ontario operations to begin exporting to their U.S. plants. Equipment and technology upgrades will take place at the Cambridge plant in preparation to produce the next generation of Lexus vehicles. Financial support from the provincial and federal government is vitally important to keep the auto sector competitive and keep automakers in Canada as foreign governments continue to use increased subsidies and incentives to compete for the development of new facilities. The Center for Automotive Research estimates that one job in an automotive assembly plant supports ten jobs in the broader economy. Funding support in the auto industry through provincial and federal incentives is something the Ontario Auto Mayors have strongly encouraged to ensure ongoing private investments are made in Canada’s automotive industry.
