CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 9:01 am 2. ADOPTION OF MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes for December 10 th , 2019 meeting were approved as printed. Moved by Councillor Carole McGinn Seconded by Jim Hutchinson 3. ITEMS OF REFERENCE i) Penetanguishene Transit Route Ridership Update – January 2020 BM went through the transit ridership update as presented in the package that was distributed prior to the meeting. The committee was informed that the ridership reading box was sent back for repairs due to lack of communication with the software and has now been returned and is working. MIDLAND PENETANGUISHENE TRANSIT COMMITTEE MINUTES 4. MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION i) Review of Penetanguishene & Midland Transit Routes BM inquired if there were any issues regarding the timing of the transit bus. At this time it was noted that Councillor C. McGuinn was participating in a transit challenge. Discussion on the detour for the GBH on Jeffery Street was advised to the committee. Councillor C. McGuinn noted that there were challenges discovered throughout the routes. Action: The following were the concerns 1. Robert Street East – safety concerns for the transit riders and drivers if being waved down for pickup and drop off due to visibility caused by the steep hill and high traffic area 2. Harriet, Jeffery and Lucy Streets area – 3 left hand turns, large ditch on Jeffery Street, making it difficult to turn.. Hazardous for riders when returning to Jeffery street which having to cross the road to return home. 3. Drivers Safety Concerns – Proper town identification and breaks for the drivers. 4. Communication between drivers for pick up and drop offs – to save time could the drivers radio each other to ask if there is a pick up or drop off at the GBH. This would eliminate a stop and save time. 5. Bus shelters on Midland map (being an old one on website when searching for the transit map) – confusing for new riders. ii) Transit System Map Publishing through Google Maps – Update BM indicated that performing any changes to the route at this time may delay getting google maps up and running, therefore the Penetanguishene route will remain the same at this time. iii) Online Transit Fare Purchasing – Update BM went over the online transit fare system and how beneficial it would be for the riders. 5. NEW BUSINESS TL informed the committee that Tiny Township Council approved the Feasibility Study which will include Transit and Transportation. It will take into consideration the Beausoleil First Nation along with the surrounding municipal Transit systems BM informed the committee that the North Simcoe Service Review is under way and one section will be to review the service items of the County of Simcoe.

  • Hello Georgian Bay Community Members, for the 2020-2021 Swim
    Hello Georgian Bay Community Members, For the 2020-2021 swim season the Collingwood Clippers Swim Club is reaching out to local businesses and organizations to gain sponsorships, that will ensure our ability to continue providing our local youth with the opportunity to pursue competitive and recreational swimming excellence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of the pandemic, our Club has encountered setbacks, but we are excited to say that we are in the process of bouncing back and we are looking for support from our community to continue on stronger than ever. The Collingwood Clippers Swim Club (formerly Collingwood Y Clippers) have been teaching and coaching competitive swimming to the youth of Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Blue Mountain and surrounding areas since 1985. The Club started as an entry level developmental swim program and has subsequently evolved into a strong, competitive Swim Club. In recent years, CCSC has continued to produce competitive swimmers that excel at the Regional, Provincial, National and International levels of competition, winning medals and placing within the top 8 at competitions. We have been extremely effective in developing our swimmers and breaking club records. Over the past 3 season our swimmers have broken 28 female short course club records, 43 male short course club records, 33 female long course club records and 40 male long course club records for a grand total of 144 club records! Please see below for some of our Swim Meet and Championship highlight achievements over the past two seasons. • 2019 Eastern Canadian Championships - CCSC had 3 swimmers compete at 2019 Eastern Canadian Championships (Canadian National level swim meet) in Quebec City, QC.

  • Press Release
    Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Simcoe County Libraries Receive Minister’s Award for Innovation at OLA 2015 Members of County of Simcoe Library Co-operative recognized for Enterprise ingenuity LEHI, Utah (February 10, 2015)—The County of Simcoe Library Co-operative received the Minister’s Award for Innovation for website design and accessibility at the 2015 Ontario Library Association (OLA) Super Conference. Multiple members of the consortium were recognized for exceptional Enterprise design through the Simcoe County Libraries for Accessibility project. Made possible through the partnership of ten Simcoe County Libraries, The Simcoe County Libraries for Accessibility project is a successful and creative solution for meeting the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Standards. The project also fulfills the partner libraries’ goal of providing “one place to look”—through enriched library user experiences, user-friendly interfaces, and enhanced online services. “The partner libraries are thrilled to have received this award,” said Gayle Hall, Chief Librarian, County of Simcoe Library Co-operative. “We all worked very hard to ensure that the project provides a cutting-edge solution to meeting the AODA standards and fulfilling the partner libraries’ goal of providing “one place to look.” It is a fiscally responsible answer to the provision of equitable access, enhanced online services and excellent customer service through the utilization of a user-friendly platform.” The Library Co-operative utilizes SirsiDynix Enterprise, which allows each partner library to easily customize its discovery interface—through library branding, tailored designs, and audience-specific profiles—to give its users the Best Library User Experience possible. The consortium also utilizes a number of additional BLUEcloud products, such as eResource Central and Buy It Now, which enhance users’ experiences through one-click eResource downloads and in-catalog item purchases.

    Town of /Ville de Penetanguishene January 14, 2020 Mayor and Council Delivered by Email: Township of Clearview [email protected] 217 Gideon Street Stayner, ON L0M 1S0 Dear Mayor and Council; Re: Seeking Support – Penetanguishene as a primary location for Francophone University The Town of Penetanguishene sent correspondence to the County of Simcoe Mayors back in October 2019, in regards to its intent to lobby the Provincial Government to be considered as a primary location for the Francophone University. Although it hasn’t been officially announced, there’s speculation that the location of Université de l’Ontario français will be within the Greater Toronto Area. Since an announcement hasn’t been made, the Town of Penetanguishene will be continuing to pursue this endeavour until it’s made official. We strongly believe that the Town’s long standing French culture and heritage, the value add for the future of students studying in French, the location, the appropriate infrastructure to support such a worthwhile venture, and the overall quality of life for future students make Penetanguishene an excellent candidate. For these reasons, please consider supporting the Town of Penetanguishene in the form of a resolution, as we lobby the Provincial and Federal governments in the pursuit of a Francophone University being situated in our Town and the County of Simcoe. Additional background information has been enclosed for your information. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at 705-549-7453 or [email protected]. Most Sincerely, Doug Leroux, Mayor Town of Penetanguishene Encl. cc: Jeff Lees, Chief Administrative Officer, Town of Penetanguishene George Cornell, Warden, County of Simcoe Mark Aitken, Chief Administrative Officer, County of Simcoe 10 rue Robert St.

    To: Committee of the Whole Agenda Section: Corporate Services Division: Engineering, Planning and Environment Department: Transit Item Number: CCW - 2020-238 Meeting Date: July 14, 2020 Subject: County of Simcoe Transit – Transit Update Recommendation That Item CCW 2020-238, dated July 14, 2020, regarding the County of Simcoe Transit LINX, be received. Executive Summary This item provides an update on the Simcoe County Linx and Linx Plus Transit service before COVID-19, adaptations made during the pandemic, and the outlook moving forward. Simcoe County LINX transit service began operation in September 2018. The current conventional transit service operates along four corridors: • Route 1 – Barrie to Midland /Penetanguishene • Route 2 – Barrie to Wasaga Beach • Route 3 – Barrie – Oro-Medonte – Orillia • Route 4 – Wasaga Beach to Collingwood Route 5, Alliston to Bradford will begin on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 with free service for the first month. Fare service will commence on Route 5 in September 2020. Route 6 Penetanguishene/ Midland – Tay – Severn – Oro-Medonte – Orillia will have a later start date of early fall due to the delay of bus deliveries as a result of COVID-19. Transit service levels have been reduced as ridership has decreased due to COVID –19. Transit staff will continue to monitor COVID-19 ridership levels and plan for reintroduction of service hours as required. Based on average ridership numbers and average fares seen prior to March 23 it is estimated that approximately $133K in fare revenues have been foregone (waived) between March 23 and the end of June. Transit service reductions began in April and savings are estimated to total approximately $214K.
