Several attendees have said it was one of the best assemblies to date. This year’s AGA was T held in Thunder Bay at the Fort William Historical Park (FWHP), one of the most recognized cultural and historical landmarks of the Métis Nation in Ontario. It was at Old Fort William in 1816 that the Métis declared themselves a “nation” and were presented with their flag by Alexander McDonnell of the Northwest Company. The infinity symbol emblazoned on the flag symbolized the eternal joining of First Nations’ and European cultures. The AGA, which ran from August 21st to the 23rd, attracted over 300 Métis citizens from across the province to Delegates arrive by canoe at participate in two days of business meetings and a day of cul- Historic Old Fort William in tural exploration and celebration. This year’s assembly was Thunder Bay for the 17th especially memorable because of the Province of Ontario’s Annual General Assembly of and the federal government’s declaration of 2010 as “the the Métis Nation of Ontario.

    April 2, 2012 Honourable Michael Chan Minister of Tourism, Culture & Sport 900 Bay Street, 9th Floor, Hearst Block Toronto, ON M7A 2E1 via email: [email protected] Dear Minister Chan: As President of the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association, I am writing on behalf of our 37 member communities to express our extreme frustration regarding the announcement in Budget 2012 of the closure of the Kenora, Rainy River and Fort Frances Travel Centres. While we understand and support the need for deficit reduction, we question the rationale for closing every gateway centre in the western area of Northwestern Ontario. This decision will leave a busy tourist area completely void of the visitor information centres that are vital to providing visitors with the information they need to extend their stay and increase their spending – both of which are essential principles outlined within the Discovering Ontario report. It is interesting to note that the Fort Frances border crossing recorded a 10.8% increase in people crossing into Ontario this February. This decision comes on the heels of an earlier decision to reduce the funding to Municipally operated tourist information centres across the North. That resulted in fewer centres being available to assist the travelling public in learning what to see and where to go as they travel through this vast and magnificent land. 2 We encourage the Minister to delay the closure of the Fort Frances Visitor Centre until the requested meeting has been held between yourself, Mr. Ronald Holgerson of OTMPC, and the sub regional board members of Northern Ontario RTO 13 and Sunset Country and the North of Superior Travel Association.

    Weathering the Snowstorm: Representing Northern Ontario By Lauren Tarasuk 2012-13 Intern This paper is a draft and is not for attribution or distribution Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block Queen’s Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A2 Phone: 416-885-1208 [email protected] www.olipinterns.ca Paper presented at the 2013 Annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Victoria, British Columbia Thursday, June 6th, 2012. Weathering the Snowstorm: Representing Northern Ontario Introduction: The Region of Northern Ontario At different times throughout Ontario’s history, both northern constituents and their Members of Provincial Parliament have debated whether the North is truly getting its fair share. Northern Ontario is different from the rest of the province in terms of its geography, economy, and political culture. Feelings of existing on the proverbial periphery of political decision making are compounded with its literal distance from the provincial legislature. Distance has left the North operating under a shroud of mystery to many, with periodic interest into the politics of the region by province wide-media. Northerners have expressed feelings of being ignored by their provincial legislature since confederation, which has led to a lingering sentiment of alienation. These differences separate Northern Ontario from the rest of the province, and set a distinctive political climate. The politics of Northern Ontario are unique, and have been acknowledged differently by Ontario Provincial Parliaments, most recently in a minority setting. This paper will explore the experience of Northern Members of Provincial Parliament in the Ontario legislature, and the unique trials and tribulations that come with representing the region.

    ONTARIO STONE, SAND & GRAVEL ASSOCIATION Essential materials for building a strong Ontario October 4, 2017 Ala Boyd Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Policy Division Natural Resources Conservation Policy Branch 300 Water Street Peterborough, Ontario K9J 3C7 Re: Criteria, methods, and mapping of the proposed regional Natural Heritage System for the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Dear Ms. Boyd: Introduction OSSGA is a not-for-profit association representing over 280 sand, gravel and crushed stone producers and suppliers of valuable industry products and services. Collectively, our members supply the majority of the 164 million tonnes of aggregate consumed, on average, annually in the province to build and maintain Ontario's infrastructure needs. OSSGA works in partnership with government and the public to promote a safe and competitive aggregate industry contributing to the creation of complete communities in the province. We appreciate the opportunity to provide comments on the draft natural heritage mapping as part of the review of the Provincial Plans. OSSGA has provided numerous comments through the plan review process along with attending open houses and stakeholder meetings. While we remain very concerned about the policies related to aggregates in the natural heritage system in the Growth Plan and Greenbelt we will focus on our concerns with mapping for this submission. Summary of Key Points In a previous submission to Ministers Kathryn McGarry and Bill Mauro (June 11, 2017) OSSGA expressed our concerns with how the natural heritage system would potentially be mapped. In that letter we stated that, “in preparing this mapping the Province should closely examine the overlap with selected bedrock resource areas and primary and secondary sand and gravel deposits.

    March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto’s Opportunity to Redevelop Downsview Your Worship, On behalf of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), I am writing to request your support for the redevelopment of the Downsview lands: an incredible, multi-billion dollar opportunity for the city of Toronto to increase its supply of housing, attract investment and jobs and cement itself as a global centre for engineering innovation. As you are aware, Bombardier Aerospace announced their intention to relocate their operations at Downsview. For Toronto, this move presents a tremendous prospect for innovation and urban renewal that is unparalleled in modern history. Spanning an impressive 375-acres of prime development lands, Toronto’s opportunity at Downsview supersedes previous urban development success stories such as New York’s Hudson Yards and London’s Canary Wharf (24 and 97-acres respectively). Not only is its sheer size unprecedented—Downsview is also shovel-ready, presenting Toronto with a turn-key public project that complements existing infrastructure. Unlike most urban renewal projects around the globe, this development is able to monopolize on existing public infrastructure stock, thereby avoiding the time and resource costs typically associated with the construction of new service and transit linkages. The Downsview lands are situated at the epicentre of three world-class universities and benefits from exceptional connections to existing subway, rail, and highway transportation infrastructure. Developing Downsview can improve the flow and functionality of Toronto’s transit network. The development of the Downsview lands promises to improve ridership and the efficiency of the entire transit network by encouraging two-way passenger flows.
