Onley, Former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario As Ontario’s first Lieutenant Governor with a physical disability, The Honourable David C. Onley adopted accessibility as the overarching theme of his mandate. Defining accessibility as “that which enables people to achieve their full potential,” and believing that true accessibility occurs only when disabled people can completely participate in all aspects of social, cultural, and economic life, Onley shares the leadership lessons he’s learned from his experience at one of the top echelons of government, as well as his message of human rights for all. Onley was appointed Ontario’s 28th Lieutenant Governor in 2007, with his term ending in September, 2014. His seven years of service makes him the longest serving Lieutenant Governor of Ontario since Albert Edward Matthews (1937-1946) and the province’s third longest serving viceroy since Confederation. Onley was a television journalist prior to his viceregal appointment. He worked primarily for Citytv as a weather reporter, before moving on to cover science and technology stories. Later on, he worked with the 24-hour news station CablePulse 24 as a news anchor and host of a weekly technology series, Home Page. A published author, he was founding president of the Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Canada. Onley has served as chair of the Accessibility Standards Advisory Council of the Government of Ontario and as an accessibility council member for the Rogers Centre and the Air Canada Centre. He currently acts as Colonel Emeritus of the Regiment of The Queen’s York Rangers (1st American Regiment), and was the Honorary Colonel of 25 Field Ambulance. He is the recipient of the Rick Hansen Award of Excellence, the Courage to Come Back Award, and holds 11 honorary degrees. He is a Member of the Order of Ontario, and a recipient of both the 125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada Medal and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. He has also been inducted into the Canadian Disability Hall of Fame and the Scarborough Walk of Fame. First Set of Morning Concurrent Sessions Integration of Municipal Asset Management Plans: Part 1 Municipalities manage tangible capital assets to ensure they reach their full service life, and plan for their replacement at the end of their useful life. This session will highlight how linking asset management plans with other municipal plans, such as strategic plans, can help to ensure the development of cost effective strategies for utilizing infrastructure, as well as identifying appropriate service levels. Team Norfolk The establishment of “Team Norfolk” was identified as a key recommendation in the Norfolk County Economic Development Strategy. This session will review a recent endeavor in Norfolk County to reach out and engage with the development community and professionals. Earlier this year, Norfolk staff organized a meeting with the Development Community and local registered professional planning consultants, lawyers, agents and developers for the purpose of brainstorming ideas around a number of important issues, such as attracting investment, retaining current businesses, growth and community planning. Using Housing Development Corporations to Evolve Community Housing - Regional Municipality of Waterloo The Housing Services Act has empowered local communities through their service managers to create local solutions to local housing issues. Both the City of London and Regional Municipality of Waterloo each recently developed a 10-year plan to address housing and homelessness. One of those solutions is to create municipal Housing Development Corporations (HDCs) to build new housing, better manage the associated costs and risks, and leverage existing assets. This session will explore what prompted municipalities to create HDCs and the role those HDCs will play in the future. DIY Urbanism Citizen engagement is a required part of the land use planning process. However, traditional methods of citizen engagement can be improved. In fact, there is a growing movement toward local self-empowerment. The purpose of this session will be to review these citizen led initiatives so that municipal leaders and staff can better understand how to connect with their residents. 2 Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Municipal Services Office-Western presents the: 2014 Ontario West Municipal Conference Friday, December 12, 2014 | Best Western Lamplighter Inn, 591 Wellington Road, South, London, Ontario Registration, Hot Buffet Breakfast and Information Fair opens at 7:30 a.m. | Welcoming Remarks 8:30 a.m. Second Set of Morning Concurrent Sessions Integration of Municipal Asset Management Plans: Part 2 Municipalities manage tangible capital assets to ensure they reach their full service life, and plan for their replacement at the end of their useful life.

York Region - N6 In recent years, the focus of the northern six municipalities in York Region (N6) has been to build strong, self-sustaining communities where residents can live, work and play. Collaborative service delivery arrangements have been an effective tool used by the N6 to achieve greater value in service delivery. Key N6 projects consist of Solid Waste Collection Services, Drinking Water Quality Management, Insurance and Risk Management Services Review, Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Training and Development, Economic Development Group and External Audit Services.

Toronto Ribfest Update What’s new in Food? Variety Pack with front of the line access. The plan is to create a special opportunity for our patrons to purchase a “variety pack” of ribs and also have “premium lines” for them so they bypass the long lines. The variety pack would consist of a 1/3 rack of ribs from 3 different ribbers (the customer’s choice). They would go to the premium line at one, then to the other and to the third. The cost hasn’t been finalized yet but the idea might be to charge $30 with $22 to the ribbers and $8 back to the Club. This is a potential money maker. Gourmet Food Trucks – Hugh asked jack Fleming to talk about the food truck venture. Jack said that in addition to our 16 ribbers there will be 2 Toronto Ribfest Co-chairs Hugh Williams began gourmet food trucks this year.
