Welcome to the first issue of "Celebrate Huronia". The Huronia Cultural Campus Foundation seeks to open a communications channel with people interested in the re-imagining of the Huronia Regional Centre grounds in Orillia, ON. More information will be available soon when our website - www.huroniaculturalcampus.ca - launches.

Huronia Arts Festival slated for Saturday, 13 August

Planning is underway for the first-ever Huronia Arts Festival to be held on Saturday, 13 August 2016. We can hardly wait to meet you there!

The family-focused program will feature story-telling, contemporary and classical music, arts installations and workshops. The festival will be held outdoors in the Orillia area.

Look for more information soon at www.huroniaculturalcampus.ca.

This 19th century building could become a community hub

for the arts, education and innovation.

Financial support from city and province

Both the City of Orillia and the province, through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, have provided funding to us in our first year. The City provided $25,000 in 2015 to assist the Foundation get established and launch community outreach. It has also committed at least another $25,000 in 2016 for ongoing costs. The Orillia Community Development Corporation has provided services in kind for us and opened its doors for meetings and teleconferences for our Board of Directors. The Ontario Trillium Foundation announced in December, it would give us $75,000 in seed funding for the Huronia Arts Festival scheduled for 13 August. Page 13 of 103 Green space abounds for parkland and outdoor exhibitions and performances.

Foundation leadership and structure

The Huronia Cultural Campus Foundation became a non-profit corporation in May 2015. From its inaugural leadership of a handful of community leaders, we have evolved into an 11-person Board of Directors and five Honorary Board members. This skills-based, volunteer Board brings together experts in the arts, government and community relations and luminaries such as author Margaret Atwood, innovator Don Tapscott, and visual artists Charles Pachter and Travis Shilling. (See below.)

Our list of supporters like you is growing daily.

Recognizing the effort it takes to launch a start-up, our Board of Directors met biweekly in 2015 and is now meeting every three weeks. Committees of volunteers focus on communications, planning and programming the festival. Arts promoter Michael Martyn became the Foundation's first staff member late last year.

In January 2016, the Foundation applied to the federal government to become a charitable corporation. As a charity, we will be able to accept individuals' donations and issue tax receipts. The process toward charitable status may take up to a year. In the meantime, the Orillia Community Foundation has offered to hold any donations in trust until the charitable number is awarded.

Board of Directors Our Board of Directors includes people from Orillia and its surrounding area, as well as the Greater Area including:

Fred Larsen, Chair Deborah Woodman, 1st Vice-Chair Dennis Smith, 2nd Vice-Chair Christopher Hazel, Secretary Anderson Charters, Treasurer Catherine Allman Patricia Hehn, Councillor, City of Orillia Marcia McClung Will McGarvey Charles Pachter J. Don Ross Page 14 of 103 Connecting with the Community

The Board of Directors has met with local municipalities, the province, Lakehead University, Georgian College and various stakeholders, including former residents of the Huronia Regional Centre, to discuss the Huronia Cultural Campus vision and solicit support. These consultations are ongoing.

We have also sought to explore different models for an arts campus by visiting with the Liberty Entertainment Group, which runs Board members and supporters visited Toronto's Casa Casa Lama in Toronto, and reaching Loma in November 2015. (L·to·R: Will McGarvey, Pat out to other community facilities

Hehn, Pat Di Donato - Liberty Entertainment Group, across the province.

Marion Plunkett, Roy Menagh, Charles Pachter.)

We know that there are hundreds of people who are interested in supporting a creative centre on the grounds of the Huronia Regional Centre. Mindful of costs, we have largely relied on the media to tell our story. More than two dozen articles have been written about this venture in the past year.

The Foundation also participated in the development of Ontario's first Cultural Strategy through a round table in and the formal submission process. "Building a Centre for Arts, Education and Innovation in Ori//ia"highlighted the benefit to the region, generally, and young people, in particular, that a new cultural presence would contribute. Email [email protected] and we'll send you a copy of that brief.

About the Huronia Cultural Campus Foundation

From: AMO Communications [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2016 8:03 PM To: MAYOR EMAIL Subject: Request for council resolutions to support AMO/LAS request for broader municipal investment powers

To the attention of the Head of Council and Council:

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario and LAS ask for your council’s support of the attached resolution which asks for the province to change the current Municipal Act investment regulation to allow municipalities to invest consistent with the 'Prudent Investor Standard', if such investments are through the One Investment Program.

The province has recently conferred 'Prudent Investor' status on the City of Toronto to enable them to have greater diversification in portfolio management and asset selection, and we strongly believe that other Ontario municipalities should be granted similar investment powers if their investments are managed through professional investment management options, such as the One Investment Program.

AMO, LAS, and the Municipal Finance Officers Association of Ontario (MFOA) have lobbied the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for broader investment powers for more than 4 years, with the issue now being considered as part of the Municipal Act review. We however want this change to be made sooner than the completion of the Municipal Act review, and to achieve this we ask for your support of this resolution.

If you have any questions about our request or the attached resolution, please contact Jason Hagan, LAS Program Manager, at [email protected] or 416-971-9856 x320.

Page 25 of 103 Sample resolution for municipal councils related to broader investment powers

WHEREAS municipalities are required to invest their reserves in accordance with the Municipal Act, 2001 and Ontario Regulation 438/97 (as amended), which specifically outlines allowable investments; and WHEREAS to ensure the sustainability and sound stewardship of the municipality’s investments, the municipality is of the opinion that changes should be made to the Municipal Act, 2001 and Ontario Regulation 438/97 (as amended), to allow for the prudent investment of reserves, if those investments are professionally managed and part of a broader investment strategy; and WHEREAS the Prudent Investor Standard is an industry accepted best practice in effectively managing a portfolio of investments, and the Standard applies to investments, not in isolation, but in the context of the portfolio of investments and as part of an overall strategy, that should incorporate acceptable risk and return objectives suitable to the stakeholders; and WHEREAS the Province is conferring “Prudent Investor” status on the City of Toronto to enable greater diversification in portfolio management, and WHEREAS the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), Local Authority Services (LAS), and the Municipal Finance Officers Association of Ontario (MFOA), have long requested that the Prudent Investor Standard apply to all municipal investments that are invested with The One Investment Program; and WHEREAS in 2005, municipalities were granted the ability to invest in longer-term corporate bonds and Canadian equity investments via only the One Investment Program, and the One Investment Program has demonstrated strong investment returns for municipalities within these ‘new’ investment sectors; and WHEREAS the institutional portfolio managers utilized by the One Investment Program recommend that the Prudent Investor Standard approach is a more appropriate approach to investing; and WHEREAS operating municipal investments under the Prudent Investor Standard is precluded by the Municipal Act, Eligible Investments, in its current form;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council support the request of AMO, LAS, and MFOA to amend Ontario Regulation 438/97 (as amended) of the Municipal Act, 2001, to allow municipalities to invest consistent with the Prudent Investor Standard, if such investments are through the One Investment Program.

TO: Council - March 7, 2016 FROM: Mayor Steve Clarke Ted Emond, Councillor, Ward 1 DATE: March 7, 2016 REPORT NO: MC-16-04 SUBJECT: 2015 Canadian Urban Forum, (INVE$TABLE CITY) Conference

Recommended Motion

THAT this report be received as information.

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to disseminate the information gained from attending the 2015 Canadian Urban Forum, INVE$TABLE CITY Conference on October 8, 2015 at the Daniels Spectrum, Toronto.

Background and Key Facts

Council, at its meeting held on August 20, 2015, authorized Mayor Clarke and Councillor Emond to attend the Canadian Urban Institute and ReNew Canada, on October 8, 2015 in Toronto, with expenses.

Options & Analysis

After the 2014 Municipal Election Mayor-elect Clarke, Councillor-elect Emond and Dan Landry, Manager of Economic Development attended the 2014 Canadian Urban Forum, the Canadian Brownfields Conference. This conference provided significant insights into the current state of brownfield developments across Canada. Based on this positive experience, Mayor Clarke and Councillor Emond opted to attend the 2015 conference with the focus on creating cities that are investment ready. Generally speaking this conference provided somewhat less value than the brownfield conference as its focus was primarily on large Canadian cities. As noted in the following summary of the sessions, some of the key points are scalable to smaller urban areas such as Orillia.

The Honourable Glen Murray, MPP, Ontario’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change delivered the open plenary speech.

Minister Murray spoke of the need to focus on innovation. He illustrated this point with reference to the impact of climate change on Canadian cities and how municipalities should encourage urban agriculture, building of net zero energy homes and electric vehicles.

Page 31 of 103 2

The Minister rhetorically asked “How do you fix a city when you can’t raise taxes or increase debt?” He used the example of when the Mayor of Winnipeg was faced with necessity to innovate and he introduced ‘green bonds’ to electrify transit and increase frequency.

Attached as Schedule “A” is a summary of the outcomes from the INVE$TABLE CITIES Forum.

Dr. Michael Goldberg, Director, Canadian Pension Plan Advisory Board pointed out that the CPP has ample $ available for investment and considers municipal infrastructure investments as a preferred asset class. However, he went on to say that CPP only considers investments larger than $100 - $200 million, a level which makes small urban cities like Orillia ineligible for these funds.

The panel speaking on Creating Investment-Ready Conditions noted several challenges to having investment-ready conditions, e.g. NIMBYism, a four-year election cycle, political thinking often behind that of the public and hesitancy to vote for long-term solutions. The panel strongly suggested that investing in legacy assets is not a liability. Assets should have potential revenue streams, e.g. rent potential, development potential, fees, etc. Taxes should be viewed as delivering public service. Shift the dialogue from dread of high taxes to the benefits derived such as streetscapes, lived experience, enjoyable cities, pride of place, i.e. quality of services to the public.

Investment is not the same as spending. The key is investing in high value projects. Build it right and build it once was an oft-repeated theme. Balance the fear of debt with the value added to the community.

Mike Moffatt of the Ivey School, University of Western Ontario, spoke about the importance of attracting and retaining talent. He urged cities to become more attractive places to live and work - create a city people want to live in.

Kathleen Llewellyn-Thomas, Vice-Chair, CUI Board of Directors and Douglas Olson, CEO 02 + Planning Design and CUI Board of Directors summed up the day with the following points:

• Create a “good” environment and investment will flow. This is especially true if you want to attract private sector investment. • Build it right and build it to last. • Have a clear vision of the future. • Don’t be constrained by the four-year political cycle. • Small scale is an obstacle - think more regionally.

It is recommended that in future, attendance at this conference be based on the applicability of the subject matter for small urban municipalities.

CANADIAN URBAN FORUM 2015: THE INVE$TABLE CITY CORE THEMES & ACTION PLAN

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On October 8, 2015, in Toronto, the Canadian Urban Forum convened 125 representatives from the private, public, social enterprise and academic sectors to develop the agenda for achieving INVE$TABLE CITIES. This document summarizes the CORE THEMES that came out of the discussions and will be incorporated into an ACTION PLAN for creating some of the necessary public and private changes in Canada moving forward.

The CORE THEMES that came out of the forum centred on how to create useful, functional and productive infrastructure. The forum identified that creating an optimal investment environment in Canadian cities will require: changing to a high productivity, low carbon society; developing solutions that focus more on the needs of people; adopting a more comprehensive approach to urban infrastructure; getting better at having evidence, not politics, inform investment decisions, infusing certainty into city building processes; and changing how individuals think about money. Making these shifts will require a focus on collaboration and communication within, and between, public, private and social enterprise sectors.

Moving forward, the ACTION PLAN is to work with a broad range of stakeholders in urban issues to create activities towards the desired outcomes in 2016 for governance, infrastructure, investment and urban policy ideas generated by the forum. This will be accomplished by offering opportunities to further share thought leadership by building support for:

• creating a common vocabulary to bridge the multiple sectors and enterprises involved in creating the Investable City paradigm; • integrating planning approaches; • developing collaboration capacity; and • building value literacy into procurement processes. We welcome your feedback and engagement as we build the discussion points and agenda for the Canadian Urban Forum in 2016.

CANADIAN URBAN FORUM 2015: THE INVE$TABLE CITY CORE THEMES & ACTION PLAN

2. CORE THEMES

2.1 INVESTING IN PRODUCTIVITY Cities need to focus on supporting high productivity and low carbon. Minister of Environment and Climate Change Glen Murray opened the forum with a call to action for increasing Canada’s productivity in natural capital, carbon and technology. We should take inspiration from what is being achieved in these areas by leading countries like Germany. Cities are going to drive this change to a high productivity, low carbon society. It will require a shift in thinking from lowest initial cost to highest life cycle value. Michael Sutherland pointed out that despite a small population and huge geography, Canada’s past generations built two transcontinental railways, Hydro-Québec and Ontario Hydro. He stated that the nation’s significant intellectual, financial and technical capacity is not being applied to deliver on these nation-building ideas. He believes changing this will require giving the market the space to generate productivity.

2.2 PUT PEOPLE FIRST

Let the people drive priorities. Working out of Hong Kong, Dr. Anne Kerr explained that listening to people and focusing on their real needs without being paralyzed by public opinion is the key to long-term, visionary planning. She described how this approach and the “power of partnerships” led to the investments required for Hong Kong’s new airport and the transit system, which used funding from real estate value creation. Michael Fenn echoed this sentiment, suggesting it’s important to “ask the public what is needed and which priorities are paramount.” Although it seems that this should be common practice, speakers indicated that citizens are rarely effectively engaged in the decision-making process. Dr. Mike Moffat found that individuals and businesses were surprised and appreciative when he asked for their input to his work on addressing the bottlenecks to urban growth in midsized cities. No one had effectively consulted them before. Similarly, Robert Howald described how Canada Lands Corporation is consulting and working with First Nations to redevelop sites as joint venture partners.

2.3 INFRASTRUCTURE AS A COMPREHENSIVE CONCEPT

The definition of what constitutes infrastructure is transforming. While traditionally infrastructure includes physical construction like buildings, roads, railways and utilities, cities increasingly recognize that natural systems and social constructs are core infrastructure for successful cities. Incorporating this more comprehensive concept for infrastructure will require significant change. In Hamilton, Mayor Eisenberger explained how “art is the new steel,” as Hamilton has embraced the creative economy to fill the void left by the steel industry downturn.

Andy Manahan commented that integrating all aspects of infrastructure into a project is how to achieve the full value. He gave the TTC’s Spadina Line extension as a lesson in lost opportunity, with architectural standalone stations creating no density uplift. The opportunity to learn from Hong Kong was not taken, and he expects the stations to require retrofitting early in their lifespan. John Filipetti described how a comprehensive policy framework would have avoided development of the north Yonge corridor in Toronto leapfrogging large transit investment. 2.4 DECISIONS BASED ON FACTS

Use facts and evidence to guide the way. Dr. Anne Kerr emphasized that to ensure that built projects truly represent an investment requires decisions to be based on facts and business cases. By focusing on facts to determine priorities, decisions based on politics can be minimized. This can also work to help prevent “not in my backyard” impulses from derailing the process. Michael Sutherland suggested the example of GO Transit, which has largely stayed away from political debates and has focused on peak needs of the consumer.

Dr. Kerr explained that using international best practice examples were core to developing Hong Kong planning’s integrated planning. Andy Broderick recommended “reverse engineering” global practices to understand how they do or do not apply to the local conditions.

CANADIAN URBAN FORUM 2015: THE INVE$TABLE CITY CORE THEMES & ACTION PLAN

Michael Snow outlined why it also important to evaluate failures to avoid repeating them. Dr. Kerr described the biggest barrier to this as the “blame culture” that focuses on defining “who will get blamed if things go wrong” and creates a climate where failures are not acknowledged. Michael Fenn summed it up well by saying “good investment decisions in infrastructure will last generations but bad decisions will haunt us for decades.”

Changing the mindset of money can improve the ability to fund city building. As illustrated by Dr. Michael Goldberg, in North America taxes are framed as negative, whereas Denmark, which has significantly higher taxes, continually outperforms the United States on key success metrics like unemployment rate and growth. He also pointed out a disconnect between the popular characterization of taxes and the fact that when surveyed, individuals aren’t opposed to increasing taxes to achieve specific benefits. Minister Murray pointed out that Canadians supported a higher tax structure in the 1950s and ’60s when much of our current infrastructure was built, so he wondered why the current generation should be so different. Mayor Jeff Lehman gave the example of how Barrie unanimously passed a 1% infrastructure tax. All accepted that talking about service levels has been shown to create a totally different perspective from talking about taxes.

Stephen Beatty described another shift in the mindset of money that comes with understanding the difference between funding and financing. Funding is the money that ultimately pays for the project or service. It’s always necessary. Financing is a process used to distribute funding cash flow over time.

Similarly, Dr. Goldberg suggested it is important to see the difference between spending, which is any expenditure of funding, and investment, which creates a defined return over a period of time. Financing costs can be worked into the return calculation for an investment over time, but should not be part of an operating budget.

2.5 RISK, RESILIENCE AND AGILITY

Politicians need to see the implications of risk. Risk, the potential to lose something of value, is always evident when dealing with investing and infrastructure. David Harper pointed out that risk has two key parameters – impact and probability. He questioned why Canada spends far more on mapping earthquake risk, with a one-in-2,400-year return period, than on flood maps, with almost annual frequency. Stephen Beatty explained that it is important for politicians to see the implications of risk in order to realize the importance of resilience. Tania Caceres shared the fact that 70% of Ontario infrastructure is not insured and therefore the risk remains with the public as the funder. Michael Snow pointed out that the key is to assign risk transparently and appropriately as part of any investment agreement, and not to pretend to remove all risk. Michael Murray described that there was continual pressure after the agreement to reallocate risk over the life of a public-private partnership (P3) project.

Stephen Beatty described resilience as the ability to sustain performance or return to functionality in response to changing environmental impacts over time. Tania Caceres explained how the lack of resilience, due to lack of infrastructure maintenance or an inability to accommodate climate change impacts, is a deterrent to investment. Dr. Blair Feltmate stressed the importance of building infrastructure correctly in the beginning as opposed to having to “disaster manage” after the fact.

Jeff Lehman introduced the idea of agility – the capacity to respond to opportunities and threats. Michael Murray said this requires creating the institutional capacity required “to protect the public intent.”

CANADIAN URBAN FORUM 2015: THE INVE$TABLE CITY CORE THEMES & ACTION PLAN

2.6 POLITICAL CERTAINTY

Political risk is making the private sector hesitant to investment in Canadian public sector projects. The required rate of return that an investor assigns to each investment in their portfolio is defined by the stability of the investment environment. Dr. Goldberg outlined how despite having plenty of money available, the private sector perceives urban infrastructure investment in Canada to be a relatively high risk. This is largely due to the political risk. Complexity and uncertainty arise when dealing with multiple levels of governments. Even once an agreement is reached, certainty that a particular decision is not going to be overturned is a key factor in pricing and financing. He said that this unfavourable investment environment should be frightening Canadian governments into creating an environment more conducive to investment. This in turn increases the potential for delivering resilient infrastructure.

Dr. Goldberg explained that policy cycles need to be longer than “in my term of office” in order for infrastructure projects to be fully and effectively realized. This risk is increased because the investment time frame for large projects is longer than a political term. The panel commented that authority needs to match responsibility (and funding) and institutional Boards of Directors need to be selected by experts rather than being politically appointed. Andy Broderick stated that the private sector seeks transparency to know that their capital will be protected. Several commentators suggested that Canada has too many political practices that do not represent good practice.

Andy Manahan suggested that political interference hampers good infrastructure decision-making. “The mayor doesn’t pick where the sewer lines should go, so why transit?” Partisan positioning creates uncertainty for the private sector when trying to advance project investments and plans. A case in point was Toronto’s public transit – political debates over where the transit lines would go, above or below ground, caused years of delays and extra costs to the taxpayer. There was agreement that political decisions are needed for policy but then politicians should get out of the way.

2.7 COLLABORATION

Large investors require large-scale projects. The scale required for a project to be interesting to large investors is often much larger than the scale of projects undertaken by municipalities. In order to increase the pool of interested investors, Dr. Goldberg suggests that “individual cities can form a consortium to get scale.” Jeff Lehman described how merging the utilities of three cities (PowerStream) created much more capacity to innovate and how bundling a contract for transit operations with delivering a maintenance facility created the project scale to attract creative partners.

Collaborations can overcome the tendency of politicians to think about issues only inside their jurisdictions as opposed to their relationship to the greater good. As Doug Olsen suggested, “share the infrastructure and share the risk.” Andy Broderick described how Vancity incentivized collaboration between public sector, private sector and social enterprises to achieve $100 billion in private sector investment in three million affordable-housing units. Mike Murray described how focussing on integration, coordination and alignment for their new LRT line has led to $1 billion in private sector investment two years before the line is to open.

2.8 COMMUNICATION

Communication is the key to gaining support. Jeff Lehman believes that people have to think an investment is required, they can’t just feel it, or be scared into it. This requires building public awareness, which is achieved through communication. Barrie achieved a 17% increase in waste diversion and 25% increase in organics recovery within one year of intense communications and an app tool. He recommended being public about evidence of municipal performance, which will inspire, reward and/or punish performance. In his summary, Brock Carlton commented that having residents being closely connected to a community is a vital element of being INVE$TABLE.

CANADIAN URBAN FORUM 2015: THE INVE$TABLE CITY CORE THEMES & ACTION PLAN

3. ACTION PLAN

These ideas have been used to frame a program of work to build momentum toward creating more INVE$TABLE CITIES. CUI and ReNew Canada will convene collaborations with the private sector, public sector and social enterprises to seek funding and support in the following areas leading up to the next Canadian Urban Forum:

3.1 COMMON VOCABULARY

A common vocabulary to bridge the public and private sectors. It is important that there is a common vocabulary and literacy developed around investing and infrastructure. A change in perception around matters of money and spending was clearly defined throughout the conference as being one of the sticking points around investment. Having benchmark information available about revenue structures from elsewhere is part of developing this literacy. Similarly, to achieve the desired productivity outcomes, infrastructure should incorporate the social and environmental components that create the collective support system for how cities function and react to change.

3.2 INTEGRATED PLANNING

Resilience planning and climate change requires an integrated approach. If cities are going to meet the needs of the 21st century, planning can no longer be performed within silos. To achieve this requires collectively developing a vision for the desired future and what infrastructure will be needed to support it. This requires a comprehensive integrated planning strategy that recognizes the links among urban form, land use and infrastructure. Much like creating a common vocabulary around infrastructure, CUI will work to identify best practices for integrated planning and case studies for how capacity for cross-disciplinary collaboration was developed.

3.3 COLLABORATION CAPACITY

Create a collaboration capacity to promote political certainty. In his summary remarks, Brock Carlton explained that “inspiration, information and connections” are key ingredients to the investable city. The ideas presented at the forum indicate that improved collaboration could facilitate increased commitment to longer term investment cycles, increase the scale of projects to make them more attractive to investment and tackle politically sensitive topics and projects. Achieving this will require building internal capacity and improving the ability of municipalities to collaborate with other governments and organizations to create a country that is more conducive to urban investment.

3.4 VALUE LITERACY

Procuring value requires increased understanding and creativity. Many presenters commented that investable cities will make decisions based on facts and focus on achieving value that is clearly defined. This combines well with McKinsey & Company’s finding that building the right project is the most critical decision for cutting the cost of infrastructure1. There was general acceptance that this is not the current paradigm for too much of Canada’s infrastructure spending. Furthermore, innovation is almost designed out by public sector procurement processes. There is a need to match procurement processes and complexity to project outcomes and scale. This will require convening public and private sector stakeholders in increasing the ability of procurement processes to achieve value.

Steve Clarke Mayor City of Orillia [email protected]

Dear Mayor Clarke: I am writing to you about approved changes to black bear management in Ontario.

The spring black bear hunting pilot has been extended for five years, through 2020, in all provincial Wildlife Management Units that have a fall bear hunt. It will also include non- resident hunters.

Under the expanded pilot, it will still be illegal to shoot cubs and female bears with cubs. In most cases, each licensed hunter will only be allowed to hunt one bear in each calendar year. Baiting of bears will be regulated during all bear hunting seasons to help reduce the potential conflict with people living and carrying out other recreational activities in nearby areas.

The extension will allow us to gather further information to assess concerns voiced by Ontario’s communities about human-bear conflicts, and to support economic growth and tourism in the north and central parts of the province. Ministry staff will continue to monitor and evaluate the success of this pilot.

For more information please visit http://news.ontario.ca/mnr/en/2016/02/ontario-to- expand-black-bear-hunting-pilot.html. If you have any questions, please contact my office.

Sincerely,

Original signed by Minister

Dear Mr. Jackson:

Re: Natural Gas Expansion in Ontario - Ontario Energy Generic Hearing

The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) recently gave notice that we will hold a hearing to review the policies for expanding natural gas service to Ontario communities that are currently not served. The outcome of this review will impact the decision on Union Gas’ application to provide gas distribution service to Milverton, Lambton Shores, Kettle and Stony Point First Nation, Prince Township and Delaware Nation communities. For this reason, Union’s application was temporarily put on hold. The purpose of this letter is to explain the OEB’s process and to encourage your community to participate in the OEB’s upcoming public hearings on gas expansion.

Natural gas expansion

As part of its 2013 Long-Term Energy Plan, the Ministry of Energy committed to work with gas distributors and municipalities to look at options to expand natural gas infrastructure to serve more communities in Ontario. In response, the OEB issued a letter inviting proponents to seek approval for gas expansion projects that might not otherwise meet the OEB’s current economic guidelines, and to suggest ways that such projects could be funded.

In July 2015, Union Gas applied to the OEB for approval of some specific natural gas expansion projects (EB-2015-0179). Union Gas’ application included a number of proposed mechanisms to fund those projects. One of the mechanisms Union proposed was having existing natural gas customers pay a portion of the costs to connect and serve new customers.

Common expansion issues

The OEB has not denied the requests in Union Gas’ application. We have temporarily put this application on hold while we consider the OEB’s policies for gas expansion.

Page 47 of 103 - 2 - Ontario Energy Board Recognizing that the issues raised in Union’s application could have an impact not only on Union Gas and the communities identified in the application but on all existing and potential gas distributors and gas consumers, the OEB is holding a broader hearing (EB-2016-0004) in mid-April 2016 to consider what mechanisms may be used to recover the costs of expanding natural gas service to Ontario communities not currently served. The notice of hearing appeared in Ontario papers the weekend of February 6, 2016. The objective of this broader hearing is to ensure that all those that are or could be impacted by the expansion of natural gas service in Ontario have the opportunity to participate in a public hearing.

We expect to make our decision about how natural gas expansion projects can be funded sometime this summer. Once that decision is made, the OEB will resume its review of the specific projects in Union’s application.

Gas expansion hearings – We want to hear from you

The OEB is inviting any company that wants to provide natural gas to Ontarians – and all municipalities and customers across the province – to participate. It is very important that the OEB hears directly from municipalities and customers (both future and existing) about whether, and how best, to ensure that the expansion of natural gas service in Ontario proceeds in a rational and financially viable way

There are two main ways to participate in an OEB hearing. You can write a letter to the OEB with your comments or you can become an active participant (an intervenor). Being an intervenor gives you the right to ask questions in person or in writing and to make a submission to the decision makers in the case.

The OEB strongly encourages you to participate. To make the right decision, the OEB needs to know whether and why customers and municipalities support or oppose the expansion of natural gas service in Ontario and the proposal that current customer pay a portion of the costs to connect new customers.

If you do choose to write a letter, please include in your comments very specific examples of the potential impact that expansion of natural gas service could have on your communities.

For More Information

Please contact Kristi Sebalj, Registrar, at [email protected] or 416-440-7730 if you, your municipality or your organization needs more information about this case, about how the hearing will work and about how you can ensure that your voice is heard.

RE: Recent changes to Infection Prevention and Control Practices Complaint Protocol, 2015

The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit is communicating with all community stakeholders to inform them of recent changes to public health programming. To enhance transparency in public health programs, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) recently revised the Ontario Public Health Standards, 2015 and the Infection Prevention and Control Practices Complaint Protocol, 2015. The revised standards and protocol outline the public reporting requirements for infection prevention and control (IPAC) complaint investigations in settings such as, but not limited to: personal service setting, centres in which regulated health professionals operate and settings not routinely inspected by the health unit.

Under the revised Infection Prevention and Control Practices Complaint Protocol, 2015, health units within Ontario are required to investigate IPAC complaints and post a summary report on the health unit website when the investigation identifies a lapse in IPAC practices that may have an adverse effect on the public’s health.

An IPAC lapse is a failure in infection prevention and control best practices that may result in an infectious disease being spread to clients/children/staff through contact with blood and/or body fluids. These types of complaints are less likely to occur in community settings (e.g. community recreational centres) and more likely to occur in health care settings. For example, an IPAC lapse complaint may include failed sterilization processes in health care settings or re-use of single use needles.

To meet the public reporting requirements for complaint based IPAC lapses, we have created an IPAC Investigation Reports page on our website that includes summary reports of confirmed IPAC lapses found during complaint investigations. Infection prevention and control investigation reports are available at www.smdhu.org/ipacreports.

If you would like to discuss this further or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Communicable Diseases team at: 705-721-7520 (1-877-721-7520) ext. 8809.

To the Mayors and Councils, MPPs, MPs and Partner Agencies of Simcoe Muskoka:

Re: Changes to Health Unit Operations in Response to Provincial Grant Freeze

In the fall of 2015 the provincial government communicated to the Board of Health for the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) that the provincial grant for the cost-shared programs in 2015 has been kept at the funding level for 2014. This resulted in a funding shortfall of more than $435,000.00 for 2015. Furthermore, it is likely that SMDHU will receive 0% provincial grant increases in our cost-shared programs annually for a number of years, resulting in recurring resource reductions. Our provincial grant allocation for 2015 reflects the combination of ongoing provincial fiscal restraint, as well as the provincial Public Health Funding Model for Mandatory Programs released and implemented in September 2015; this new funding model resulted in a similar grant freeze for the majority of public health units across the province.

The provincial cost-shared programs funding freeze for SMDHU has necessitated a reduction of approximately $1 million in staffing salaries, which in turn has resulted in staff reductions, and program impacts. The Board of Health has reviewed the overall operations, structure, facilities, strategic initiatives, programs and staffing levels of SMDHU to identify possible efficiencies. To this end, the Board approved a new organizational structure (as attached), with one less department and a reduced management complement, taking effect as of January 2, 2016.

On February 17th, the Board approved a budget for 2016 that is reflective of these financial challenges. The 2016 budget includes a $90,000 reduction in operating costs, reflecting a balance between achieving efficiencies and continuing to support the working capacity of staff with the tools needed.

The 2016 budget includes a 2% increase in the overall levy for the obligated municipalities over the 2015 levy, resulting in a departure from the previously stated position of the province of a ratio of 25:75 municipal to provincial funding for local public health cost-shared programs. The increased levy results in the municipalities providing for 25.8% of our cost-shared programs.

The Board approved voluntary work reductions for non-union staff. In addition to these measures, over 11 health unit position full-time-equivalents are being discontinued, including those presently held by 7 employees. The loss of these staff is being felt in a range of our programs and services. Program activities have been prioritized in order to mitigate the impacts of these

Page 51 of 103

Page 2

reductions, taking into account potential health impacts and the capacity within the community for continued services from other agencies. I regret to inform you that with these staffing reductions the health unit’s sexual health clinic in Alliston will be closing as of April 1st, 2016.

This decision has been made taking into consideration the level of demand for services at this clinic, the provision of such services by other agencies in southern Simcoe County, and the availability of the health unit’s sexual health clinics at our other sites including in Barrie and Collingwood. Members of the community can also continue to contact the health unit for information and counseling on our Health Connection telephone service at (705) 721-7520 or 1-877-721-7520. Other health unit services continue to be accessible at the other SMDHU offices including our Cookstown office.

Guiding us forward as we address our present challenges is our revised 2016 and 2017 Strategic Plan (as attached), approved in December 2015 by the Board of Health.

Our intention is to manage the constraints placed on the agency while fulfilling as much as possible our mandate to protect and promote health and to prevent disease and injuries throughout Simcoe Muskoka.

Please do not hesitate to contact, Dr. Charles Gardner, Medical Officer of Health and CEO at 705-721-7520 ex. 7219 with any questions or concerns that you may have. Thank you for your patience during this difficult transition.

Sincerely,

With your support and the indulgence of Orillia Council, I was joined in October by Orillia Campus Dean Mary O'Farreii-Bowers and Brandon Roy, Orillia Campus President of the Georgian College Students' Association, when we made our deputation to council seeking commitment to financially support the development of one building to house two important components - the Centre for Social Entrepreneurship and the Centre for Community Safety.

We presented a plan to transform the student experience at the Orillia Ca mpus to deliver more immersive, intera ctive and scenario·based education and training. I also outlined our plans to pursue other sources of funding including the New Building Canada, Small Communities Fund . We were recently informed that our submission was not selected to move forward. The explanation provided by the province referenced our ongoing work with the Ministry rega rding capacity expansion and the avai lability of space to deliver degrees. Until that is resolved, the province indicated our proposal did not align with their priorities.

I am writing to confirm that though disappointed, we remain committed to this project and will look for other sources of funding including the upcoming federal budget.

Subject: Important changes for the 2016 Assessment Update

The 2016 Assessment Update introduces some of the most significant reforms to Ontario’s property assessment system since 1998. These changes share a common goal – increased transparency, shared understanding of property assessments, and stability and predictability in the municipal tax base. With these laudable objectives in mind, a myriad of opportunities exist as we work cooperatively to implement improvements to Ontario’s property tax regime. To that end, I am pleased to share some important highlights with you.

2016 Property Assessment Notices MPAC has put a great deal of effort into redesigning the 2016 Property Assessment Notice (PAN). The new design uses clear language and design principles, and integrates all of the statutory requirements surrounding property assessment information. The new PAN also includes details about how municipalities use MPAC’s values and other relevant information about Ontario’s assessment system.

In addition to a new design, Property Assessment Notices for Residential properties will be delivered up to five months earlier than ever before. The redesigned Notice and early mailing dates will help property owners to better understand their assessment and resolve concerns before the final assessment rolls for 2017 taxation are delivered to municipalities in December.

The 21-week Notice mailing schedule, which is staggered across the province, begins on April 4 of this year with Notices being delivered to occupied and vacant land properties that have a single Residential Taxable (RT) property tax class. Residential properties that have a seniors and disabled exemption or a commercial or industrial portion will be mailed in the Fall together with the Notices for farm, managed forest, commercial and industrial properties. The 2016 Notice mailing schedule and corresponding Request for Reconsideration deadlines are attached for your information.

For non-residential properties, we are continuing our pre-roll consultations by engaging municipalities and industry representatives on a variety of property types including large and special purpose business properties, multi-residential and farm properties.

The preliminary values for residential properties will be available in the new Municipal Connect starting early in the second quarter of this year; preliminary values for other property types will be made available as they are finalized.

Along with the newly designed Municipal Connect application, our Municipal and Stakeholder Relations team will engage with you and your staff early and often to discuss the preliminary values and MPAC’s regular in-year maintenance activities.

Legislative Changes to Request for Reconsideration Deadline On December 10, 2015, Bill 144, Budget Measures Act, 2015 took effect resulting in significant changes to the Request for Reconsideration (RfR) process.

For the 2017 tax year, property owners will have 120 days from the Issue Date of their 2016 Property Assessment Notice to file a RfR. The historical March 31st RfR deadline does not apply for the 2017 tax year. The Issue Date and the unique RfR deadline will be included on every Property Assessment Notice. In response to each RfR, MPAC has up to 180 days to complete its review and respond to the property owner.

Better Service for Property Owners We appreciate how significant the 2016 Assessment Update is for property owners and we have developed an extensive outreach and engagement strategy to communicate the changes.

MPAC’s online self-service tool, AboutMyProperty™, has been rebranded and simplified based on taxpayer research – providing property owners with an easy-to-use interface and improved navigation features. Visitors can learn more about how their property was assessed, view information we have on file, as well as compare it to other properties in their neighbourhood – additional information will also be available on-line without requiring those who visit AboutMyProperty to log in to the site. The enhanced tool will be available to property owners in correlation with Property Assessment Notice delivery.

As 2016 unfolds, we look forward to working closely with our stakeholders to implement the significant reforms that are underway. Please contact your Regional Manager or Account Manager, Municipal and Stakeholder Relations, if you would like additional information or to further discuss these changes.

Yours truly,

Carla Nell Vice-President, Municipal & Stakeholder Relations

RE: 3rd Quarter Report for 2015 as per Council’s request

This written report is supplementary to the third quarter financial report.

As per the City of Orillia’s approval, which now grants the Orillia Museum of Art & History an annual sum of $150,000 towards the operating costs of the museum subject to the submission of quarterly financial reports, the museum does present this written summary report to accompany the third financial report.

Community

The Orillia Museum of Art & History is the anchor for the significant and growing arts, local history and cultural community in Orillia and surrounding area by offering exciting and innovation exhibitions, events, educational programs and activities that reach out and engage all community members, seasonal residents, and visitors. OMAH’s programming staff ran seven weeks of camp, two that were offered and promoted by the City of Orillia. A new partnership was explored with the Mariposa Dance Company. Campers visited the Mariposa Dance Company once a week for students to participate in a dance workshop. Over 5000 visitors came through OMAH’s doors this quarter. Three exhibitions were on view, including Nation2Nation, touch: 400 Years of Champlain and the Zephyr Art Group pop-up show. OMAH participated in a few outreach events, including Mariposa Folk Festival, Starry Night, and Culture Days.

OMAH’s facilities continue to be available for rent. We welcomed new client, Toastmasters, who use the facility on a weekly basis.

Building

Renovation and expansion of the building was completed in May 2013. Funds from the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, which was awarded in November 2012, have enabled OMAH to purchase equipment and furnishings for the renovated galleries and education programming space.

Page 69 of 103

Staffing

In this period, OMAH employed 2 full-time employees and 3 part-time employees: Executive Director, Curator (vacant), Programs Coordinator, Registrar, Communications Coordinator and Facilities Assistant. Each employee is tasked with a strategic direction for ensuring the museum is enjoyed and utilized by all members of the community. The Registrar is responsible for maintaining a 12,000 art and artifact collection that not only preserves Orillia and area’s history, but is used to educate the community through exhibition and education. The Programs Coordinator designs and delivers off-site and on-site educational programming for children and adults and also coordinates special events both on-site and off-site. The Curator is responsible for designing and coordinating art and historical exhibitions that will engage the community in innovative and engaging ways. The Executive Director is responsible for the overall strategic direction of the museum and enhancing community engagement. The Communications Coordinator works on social media and website engagement and serves as a museum monitor on weekends and during evening hours. The Facilities Assistant looks after the general upkeep of the building and helps with the set up and strike on rentals.

In the 3rd quarter, we worked with youth who were funded through Young Canada Works and Canada Summer Jobs. These youth gained work experience through customer service, event planning, public relations, educational programming and exhibit design and facilitation. 11 interns joined OMAH in September, working with all staff on administration, collections management, social media, and public programming. These interns were from Georgian College, Lakehead University, and Twin Lakes Secondary School. ______

The Orillia Museum of Art & History is governed by a Board of Directors made up of dedicated members of the community. OMAH has revised its strategic vision with the assistance of a community facilitator. OMAH’s new mission is “The Orillia Museum of Art & History’s mission is to inspire creativity and celebrate local history by expanding the awareness and appreciation of art, local history and culture in the Orillia community and surrounding area.”

We trust that with this submission, we have fulfilled the required obligations of the quarterly report and that we may anticipate the release to OMAH of the 3rd quarter installment for the fiscal year 2015 of the annual commitment of funds from the City of Orillia.

OMAH partnered with both the DOMB and Storytelling Orillia to offer public programs, including The Haunting, showcasing our 20th century jail cells and our 2nd floor gallery for Canadian Storytelling Night. Education programs were on hold until December due to the work to rule campaign. As soon as an agreement was ratified, schools started booking, including Lion’s Oval for a program in the third week of December. Lunch and Learn, monthly series, continues to engage guests with guest speakers including Ingi Gould and Frances Thomas, who spoke about John Gould’s artistic practice and how it evolved after suffering a stroke. Over 4800 visitors came through OMAH’s doors this quarter. Three exhibitions were on view, including the Carmichael Canadian Landscape Exhibition: Tradition Transformed, This Is Tomorrow, annual high school exhibition, and The Man In The Little Black Dress, new work by Jim Ireland and touch: 400 Years of Champlain. OMAH participated in outreach activities at the Orillia’s Senior’s Centre art series by offering engaging talks on a variety of art historical themes. The History Awards resumed and was successful with 17 nominations submitted from across our community.

OMAH’s facilities continue to be available for rent. We welcomed new clients, Project Umbrella Burma and Juice Plus. Also, OMAH was a host site for the

exhibitions development course offered by the Ontario Museums Association. For three days, over 20 delegates worked with an instructor in our 3rd floor studio and took tours of our exhibitions.

Building

Renovation and expansion of the building was completed in May 2013. Funds from the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, which was awarded in November 2012, have enabled OMAH to purchase equipment and furnishings for the renovated galleries and education programming space. Staffing

In this period, OMAH employed 2 full-time employees and 3 part-time employees: Executive Director, Curator (vacant), Programs Coordinator, Registrar, Communications Coordinator and Facilities Assistant. Each employee is tasked with a strategic direction for ensuring the museum is enjoyed and utilized by all members of the community. The Registrar is responsible for maintaining a 12,000 art and artifact collection that not only preserves Orillia and area’s history, but is used to educate the community through exhibition and education. The Programs Coordinator designs and delivers off-site and on-site educational programming for children and adults and also coordinates special events both on-site and off-site. The Curator is responsible for designing and coordinating art and historical exhibitions that will engage the community in innovative and engaging ways. The Executive Director is responsible for the overall strategic direction of the museum and enhancing community engagement. The Communications Coordinator works on social media and website engagement and serves as a museum monitor on weekends and during evening hours. The Facilities Assistant looks after the general upkeep of the building and helps with the set up and strike on rentals.

In the 4th quarter, we continued to work with 11 interns who had joined OMAH in September, working with all staff on administration, collections management, social media, and public programming. These interns were from Georgian College, Lakehead University, and Twin Lakes Secondary School. In late December, through funding from Agilec (via Career Focus) we hired an Assistant Curator to support our 2016 exhibitions that were under development in various stages. ______

The Orillia Museum of Art & History is governed by a Board of Directors made up of dedicated members of the community. OMAH has revised its strategic vision with

Page 73 of 103

the assistance of a community facilitator. OMAH’s new mission is “The Orillia Museum of Art & History’s mission is to inspire creativity and celebrate local history by expanding the awareness and appreciation of art, local history and culture in the Orillia community and surrounding area.”

We trust that with this submission, we have fulfilled the required obligations of the quarterly report and that we may anticipate the release to OMAH of the 4th quarter installment for the fiscal year 2015 of the annual commitment of funds from the City of Orillia.

Any further enquiries may be directed to the Board of Directors directly or through Richard Oatway, Treasurer, Board of Directors. Email: [email protected], telephone 705-323-4589.

Respectfully,

Page 74 of 103 3rd Q and 4th Q Reports to City Council

With the recent completion of our audited Financial Statements for the Year Ended September 30, 2015 we are pleased to submit our 3rd quarter report to City Council. In addition, we are pleased to submit our 4th quarter report for the period Oct - Dec 2015.

Discussion of Results For The Year Ended September 30, 2015

2015 was a challenging year for the Orillia Museum of Art & History (OMAH) and produced very mixed results amongst our 3 Funds - Operating Fund, Capital Fund, and Endowment Fund.

On a consolidated basis, OMAH's results far exceeded our budget with revenue of $552,411 vs. budget of $592,041 and a net (loss) of $(27,704) vs. $(110,000). It is important to bear in mind, that although we budget a consolidated loss each year, it is wholly attributable to the very large annual write-down of our $3 million investment in leasehold improvements to the Sir Samuel Steele Memorial Building in our Capital Fund and does not involve an outlay of cash.

The Orillia Museum of Art and History Annual Consolidated Fund Budget for the Year Ended September 30, 2015

Fund Operating Capital Endowment Consolidated Total Revenue $ 557,541 $ 24,000 $ 10,500 $ 592,041 Total Expenses 552,541 144,000 5,500 702,041 Surplus (Deficit) For The Year $ 5,000 $ (120,000) $ 5,000 $ (110,000)

The challenges that OMAH faced in 2015 arose from our Operating Fund results.

We fell short of our revenue projections - $422,597 actual vs. $557,541 budget, a difference of ~$135K. The shortfall is attributable to some key areas of revenue to OMAH, including donations, fundraising, grants, memberships, and sponsorships. The bright light in revenue was programmes with an actual of $42,639 vs. a budget of $29,500.

Prudent fiscal oversight by the Board of Directors and the Executive Director mitigated what could have been far more serious results to a $12,967 deficit.

Although the Board of Directors identified the causes of the revenue shortfalls too late in the fiscal year for their corrective measures to have any meaningful impact on this year's results, improvements are already being seen in our current year.

What these financial statements do not readily reveal, except perhaps to the most thoughtful reader, is the value to the community of an organization such as OMAH. Our governance structure made up of a Board of Directors of committed and engaged volunteers combined with a committed and capable professional staff delivered (in fact, over delivered) all of the exhibitions and programmes contemplated

Page 75 of 103 for 2015. Faced with the loss of some key Directors and a staff shortage, the Board and staff continued to manage OMAH in a fiscally responsible manner.

City Council should take comfort in the fact that the Board of Directors has taken corrective measures to address the issues which led to the revenue shortfall, continues to monitor results, and continues to make further adjustments when required.

Discussion of Results For The Three Months Ended December 31, 2015

First quarter Operating Fund results are very close to budget with revenues of $117,499 actual vs. budget of $117,765 and surplus of $27,950 actual vs. budget of $26,597.

Encouragingly, donations are up 150% over the same quarter last year.

We continue to face challenges and we continue to meet them head on with enthusiasm and optimism, tempered by fiscal prudence.

Dear City Manager

We are asking you to join our Adopt-a-School campaign in order to improve students' success in school and ultimately open up doors for their future.

Our school recognizes the problem of poor eating habits for teens. A recent survey printed by the Canadian Living Foundation's Brealifastfor Learning states that adolescents aged 13 to 17 receive a rating of"D" in overall healthy food habits. Not only does this affect students' overall health, but it prevents them from learning. The positive results of healthy eating programs include improved energy, less irritability, improved attention spans, and fewer class disruptions. Students benefit ultimately through greater school success, leading to better opportunities for their future.

Twin Lakes is currently running a lunch card program as well as a daily snack program. Studies have shown that students are more likely to eat nutritious food if it is offered to them in a group and a social atmosphere. These programs are accessible by all students. Many from our student population access nutritious food through these programs at some point in the school year. Some students regularly benefit from our food programs.

The cost of these programs is huge. Last year we spent over $10,000, only about half of which is covered by our two major sponsors, Eat Well to Excel and Brealifast for Learning.

Dear Mayor Clarke and Members of City Council,

On behalf of the ZombieFest for Youth and The Orillia Youth Centre, we are writing to formally request the use of Municipal Lot #5 (Facing Brewery Bay) on Sunday April 17, 2016 from 9:00am-12:00pm to assemble for our fundraising Zombie Walk to Georgian College. We will be welcoming and marshalling walk participants in the parking lot along with guest speakers who will be speaking about the issue of youth homelessness. Please note we will only be using the municipal lot as a starting point. Our walk will terminate at the Orillia Georgian College Campus.

Background ZombieFest for Youth is a Social Enterprise that has been created by Georgian College Social Services Worker Student Che Cleland. His unique business, under the guidance of the Social Entrepreneurial Program, is based on the Zombie Walk Parade as a method to fundraise for youth related causes. He has selected the Orillia Youth Centre and our Youth Transitional Housing and Sheltering project as the recipients of his first undertaking.

This event is fully insured by Georgian College and a Parade Permit (including Insurance Certificate) has been submitted to the Police Services Board.

Together with the CPI Program at the Georgian College we are working together to build and promote this fundraising event that will benefit the Community of Orillia.

We look forward to hearing from you and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free contact me at (705) 325-8082 or via email at [email protected]

Many thanks,

Kevin Jon Gangloff
