Before saying goodbye, I wanted to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to all of our donors, friends, partners, volunteers and government supporters for all that has been done in the development of The Great Trail of Canada. This past year, was one of many achievements and continuing progress in ensuring the ongoing sustainability and Boards of Directors improvement of our national Trail. Conseil d’administration We were thrilled to be honoured, in November, with the Canadian Museum of Nature’s Inspiration Award for Best Non-Profit in Canada and are so Trans Canada Trail SentierTranscanadien grateful for all who played a vital role in getting this accolade. Thank you!

In collaboration with our partners in Manitoba, we installed a bridge over Hanson Creek; and we completed a roadway to greenway conversion in Baie-St-Paul, QC. We were thrilled to add a new greenway section — the Pioneer Footpath — the first section of The Great Trail in Labrador. We also provided technical and financial support for signage projects across the country. In Alberta, we installed signs and wayfinding arrows in Calgary, and on the Trail section from Banff Centre to the Cave and Basin National Historical Site. We also installed a new totem counter in St-Jéréme, QC, and, nature conservation interpretive panels in Yorkton, SK. In recognition of our supporters, we added new panels to six pavilions across the country. This fall, we received over 150 project requests forfinancial support through our major funding program, the Capital Improvement Plan. We look forward to supporting as many Trail partners as possible, in their work to develop new and innovative projects in the coming year. With a renewed focus on maintaining the existing greenway sections and increasing their numbers, improving the quality of The Great Trail and being inclusive, next year's projects will support the development of active transportation routes; improvements to accessibility; increased signage; and repairs to sections damaged by natural disasters. In closing, I’d like to tell you what an honour it has been to lead this organization during both the challenging and the rewarding times. During mytenure, TCT raised over $120 million in support ofthe Trail, the most successful initiative of its kind in Canada; the organization acquired national and international recognition through its communications strategies, events and tourism outreach; and we celebrated the full connection of The Great Trail in 2017, as part of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. All of this was accomplished through a passionate team effort among a dedicated staff team, national volunteers and generous donors, as well as support from all levels of government, and Canadians inspired by our vision. Together we achieved a bold, some would say crazy, dream to connect Canada and Canadians, through the development of a national Trail. It has been a great honour to lead this iconic project toward 2017 and beyond. The memories of the people I met, of the communities visited and of the kilometres travelled will be forever imprinted on my heart. Thank you for having joined me on this great journey. If you have any questions, or would like additional information on the Trail, please feel free to contact my office at [email protected] or at 800-465-3636 x. 4341.

Over the past months, the Board has expressed concern on a number of occasions regarding the trend of increasing calls for service related to 911 Misdials, and the high proportion of total calls these represent. At their October 10, 2019 meeting, the Board reviewed data contained in the ‘Police Services Board Monthly Overview August 2019’ produced by the OPP. The chart below shows the OPP’s top calls for service in Tecumseh for the month of August 2019: Top Calls for Service — Tecumseh August 2019 200 151 150 ; . 100 50 0 911 Misdial Traffic Alarm ByLaw Theft MVC Police Assist Police info Susp Person Property Comp Re late-cl The report includes comparative information with other Essex County OPP Detachment municipalities and notes the following trends in the detachment area: . A 65.7% increase in 911 Misdials in August 2019 (898 calls) compared to August 2018 (542 calls) . An average of 29.9 Misdial calls per day . 911 Misdials are trending 63.2% higher YTD 2019 (5,867 calls) compared to YTD 2018 (3,596) Concern about escalating 911 Misdials and the effect of this trend on policing and police budgets was also raised at the recent Joint Essex County Police Services Board meeting held in Leamington on August 29, 2019. This meeting was attended by the boards from all Essex County OPP-policed municipalities, namely the Towns of Essex, Kingsville, Lakeshore, Tecumseh and Municipality of Leamington. Following discussion of this data, and as a result of concerns expressed by members of the Board on multiple occasions, the Board passed Motion PSB 43/19 at the October 10, 2019 PSB meeting: 110 Page 24 of 54 Report No: CAO-2019-09 911 Misdials Page 3 of 6 Whereas the calls for service for 911 Misdials have risen dramatically in recent years, correlated with the rise in cell phone use; and Whereas 911 Misdials must be responded to as if they were legitimate emergency caHs;and Whereas each 911 call is responded to with two OPP officers at an average time per call of 1.2 hours; and Whereas each 911 call is a billable call to the municipality; and Whereas in 2019 alone to date, 911 Misdials in Tecumseh number 1,082 calls, which is 28.8% of all billable calls for service to date; and Whereas 911 Misdials are not unique to Tecumseh and in fact are common across the Province at an estimated cost of millions of dollars; Now Therefore Be It Resolved That the Tecumseh Police Services Board request Town Council to approach the Federal and Provincial governments and associations, including but not limited to, the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards (OAPSB), the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP), the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), to lobby the telecommunications industry to develop a solution to 911 Misdials. Comments Administration obtained the most recent data available for 911 Misdials from the OPP. As of October 12, 2019, the OPP have responded to 1,082 911-related billable calls in Tecumseh, broken down as follows. This represents 28.8% of all calls for service in 2019 YTD. (Note: the categories correspond to those used in the OPP billing statement.) Billable Category Description Number 911 Call / 911 Hang Up General 911 misdial / hang up 482 911 Hang Up — Pocket Dial (subcategory) Accidental 911 call using a cell 183 phone 911 Call — Dropped Cell (subcategory) 911 call using a cell phone, then 417 signal was lost. Contact may have been made, then deemed non-emergency or accidental Total All Categories 1,082 The table below compares the 2019 statistics to previous years. While some ‘zero data’ is included, the total figures are most relevant. The OPP notes that the Pocket Dial category was introduced in 2013 and the Dropped Cell category was introduced in 2014. As the years went on, officers have become more diligent in classifying 911 misdials into these subcategories as opposed to the more general 911 Hang Up category. 111 Page 25 of 54 Report No: CAO—2019-09 911 Misdials Page 4 of 6 Category 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2019 YTD Est. * 911 Call / 911 Hang Up 640 698 479 449 411 530 482 578 911 Hang Up — Pocket Dial 1 6 21 20 69 70 183 219 911 Call — Dropped Cell 0 1 12 15 7O 87 417 500 Total 641 705 512 484 550 687 1,082 1,297 * This is an estimated year-end total based on the YTD amount. While some fluctuations are apparent, the estimated total number of misdials for 2019 is more than double the total recorded in 2013 and represents an 89% increase over 2018. As noted earlier, the Board has expressed concerns about this trend both in relation to policing and the police budget. Each 911 call is handled the same way, with at least two officers dispatched to locate the source and respond. It can reasonably be concluded that time and resources spent responding to 911 Misdials divert resources from other community policing activities and initiatives. Efforts have been made by the Town and the OPP to educate the public on 911 misdials to curb frequency of such calls. The Board’s resolution recognizes that Tecumseh is not alone in dealing with this widespread issue. It also suggests that the solution does not necessarily lie in increased public education and awareness, but rather in the redesign of cell phone technology and the way it interfaces with the 911 system. New, easier-to-use features on smart phone releases are something the public takes comfort in, knowing that in an emergency they can reach 911 dispatch easily and send their coordinates to the dispatcher. However, the issue of 911 Misdials should also be raised with smart phone manufacturers to resolve inadvertent 911 calls, which appear to be on the rise. Consultations Information and Communications Services Police Services Board Ontario Provincial Police Financial Implications With respect to the police budget, the impact of one year’s increase in call volume is not proportionately reflected in the billing statement, as the municipality’s “Calls for Service” costs (a weighted portion of the provincial total) are calculated based on a four—year average. The escalating volume of calls will, however, contribute to a higher four—year average over time. 112 Page 26 of 54 Report No: CAO—2019-09 911 Misdials Page 5 of 6 Link to Strategic Priorities Applicable 2019-22 Strategic Priorities El Make the Town of Tecumseh an even better place to live, work and invest through a shared vision for our residents and newcomers.

From: Water, Drinking (MECP) Ontario’s government is taking action to protect the province’s drinking water and water resources as part of its draft Made-in-Ontario Environment Plan to keep Ontarians safe and pass on a cleaner environment to future generations. Today, the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks released the Minister’s Annual Report on Drinking Water 2019 and the 2018—2019 Chief Drinking Water Inspector Annual Report. The Minister’s Annual Report on Drinking Water 2019 showcases the work Ontario is doing to protect our drinking water and water resources. The Chief Drinking Water Inspector’s Annual Report provides an overview of the ministry’s progress during 2018-19 and includes in-depth information on the performance of Ontario’s drinking water systems and licensed and eligible laboratories. The reports showcase the province’s strong monitoring, reporting and enforcement activities and programs and how these actions help ensure Ontario’s drinking water is among the best protected in the world. This includes reporting on the tests results for lead in drinking water. Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health has not received any reports of lead toxicity in Ontario children that have been linked primarily to drinking water in the last 10 years. At the same time, blood lead levels of Canadians have also declined by over 70 per cent in the past 40 years due to ongoing actions to reduce lead exposure from all sources.
