Page 4 of 137 4. DECORATING WORKING GROUP i) Update - Seasonal Decorations and/or Lighting SPRING/SUMMER DECORATIONS – 2013 Main Street Window: The Divas have decorated their Main Street window to coincide with the War of 1812 & The Tall Ships celebration in our Town to be held August 24-25th, 2013 weekend. Canoes: The three (3) 8ft. Canoes are now in place: Two red canoes--one at the Ship Sign flowerbed and the other at the Main /Poyntz flowerbed; and, the simulated “birch bark” canoe is in the Simcoe Street flowerbed. Obelisks: As stated at our June 5th DIC meeting, three (3) 6ft white Obelisks with red led lights are now at the following garden locations: Main/Robert, Town Dock and Garden at Trail crossroads in front of Curling Club. And look like miniature lighthouses. Butterflies: The Wrought Iron Butterflies which were welded onto poles, painted in bright colours are now in two selected gardens in Rotary Park and one at Bob Sullivan’s Parkette on Beck Blvd. Birdhouses: The birdhouses have been placed on the fences by the Curling Club and at Huronia Park. We would prefer to have them placed on the light standards along the path in Rotary Park in future years as some have been damaged and/or taken. Leaves & Corn Husks: Our leaves and corn husks will be going up as usual in the fall when the summer decorations come down which is about mid-September. LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT: We have had no word from any of the approximately 16 contractors which we had contacted with regard to an interest in building our proposed Lighthouse. Where are we now in terms of going forward with this project; i.e. timing, etc. It was recommended that the lighthouse project be deferred to the fall in order to provide an opportunity to find a builder. Minutes of the Downtown Improvement Committee- Dated August ... Page 5 of 137 FUTURE THOUGHTS & IDEAS – For approval: Winter 2013-14: a) With approval, utilizing the Town’s hanging baskets with greenery and gold balls along with the usual lighted wreaths and ribbon/bows. As well, we would continue with the 14 Town barrels decorated with greenery as per last winter 2012. Concerns were raised over the weather in the winter and if the baskets would be sustainable over the winter. A few baskets would be kept out as a trial over this winter along with the planters. b) The Divas have an option to purchase a small-sized “Cutter” made of metal and which was originally built in Quebec for $275. We propose to house it at Main & Robert Streets over the winter season. For the Christmas Holidays, we plan to fill it with colourful boxes to look like gifts. After the Holiday Season, we would change to winter seasonal decorations (skis, toboggan, snowshoes, and simulated people) and which would also encompass Winterama. The committee discussed the project and it was thought that the corner of Robert and Main was the best location for the cutter. c) With regard to our Snowmen, they could be placed strategically at eye level throughout the Town--this would be similar to last winter, 2012. Spring/Summer 2014: a) The Divas have an option to acquire a large number of bicycles. Our thought was to paint them different colours, add baskets of flowers and set them throughout Town. These bicycles are “free” and when we’re finished with them can be given back to be disposed of so we wouldn’t have to store them. After discussion, it was agreed that the bicycles would be better suited in Rotary Park. Locations would provide for a few bikes in the park. b) We do plan on re-using the “small” red canoes with flowers along the dockside for summer 2014. They have made quite a statement especially since this year’s flowers are so beautiful. We’re not sure if the three (3) larger canoes will be placed in the same flower beds for 2014. To be discussed at a later date. Minutes of the Downtown Improvement Committee- Dated August ... Page 6 of 137 c) We propose to build one (1) larger Obelisk to be housed at the Dock in place of the smaller one which can be placed elsewhere in 2014. If approved we will approach CNCC to build it. Also, we may require a second one to go at Main & Robert Streets which will show up better than the small one. It was agreed that a larger obelisk should be placed in the garden at Main St and Robert St. Moved by S. Robillard and Seconded by Councillor E. Chapelle THAT the Downtown Improvement Committee recommends to the Planning & Development Services Section that the following decorations be incorporated into the Downtown/Rotary Park: - Winter Planters on Main Street; - Winter hanging baskets; - Cutter sleigh at the corner of Robert and Main decorated in a winter theme; - Bicycles in pre-determined gardens in Rotary Park; - Large obelisk in the garden at Robert St and Main St AND THAT the lighthouse project be deferred to the fall in order to provide an opportunity to find a builder. CARRIED 5. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES i) Presentations from the DIC Info Session - July 31 - Elmvale BIA (2 attachments) - Southern Georgian Bay Chamber of Commerce (presentation not provided) - TGIF (1 attachment) The Committee discussed the next steps in moving forward with a potential BIA.

  • Settlement Strategy
    L ocal Immigration Partnership Building Welcoming, Caring, and Inclusive Communities Settlement Strategy WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD WELCOMING, CARING, AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES IN ST. THOMAS AND ELGIN Settlement Strategy Acknowledgement The St. Thomas-Elgin Local Immigration Partnership Council (ST-ELIP) acknowledges the vision of the governments of Canada and Ontario and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, for the creation of the Local Immigration Partnerships (LIPs) across Ontario. In 2005, Ontario signed the first Canada-Ontario Immigration Agreement (COIA) and as a recognition that municipalities have a crucial role to play in offering newcomers the necessary support and services to successfully integrate, the Municipal Immigration Committee (MIC) was established under COIA to explore municipal interest in immigration. The first Local Immigration Partnerships were established in 2008. The LIPs present an opportunity to connect with each other, build an understanding that raises our awareness, promotes innovation in human, social, political and economic development in our community. LIPs are also instrumental in our collective and proactive plan to offer a welcoming, caring and inclusive community to those who choose to join our beautiful County. We also recognize the social capital behind the St. Thomas-Elgin Local Immigration Strategy, which comes from a large number of participants from different walks of life, cultural backgrounds, and professions from multiple sectors in our community. These include more than 250 participants from different levels of governments, namely federal, provincial and municipal, newcomers, faith leaders, fire chiefs, employers, and service providers in the settlement, social, health and education fields. We are grateful to individual participants and organizations who offered their commitment, time, and expertise that enriched the ST-ELIP consultations and planning meetings.
