  • Toronto Premium Outlets, Halton Hills, ON
    Installation Profile Toronto Premium Outlets, Halton Hills, ON Ontario's first Premium Outlets have arrived just west of Toronto, Ontario. This shopping centre provides Canada with a "value retail destination." Home to Canada's favourite designer brands, including Coach, Burberry, Nike and more. This shopping experience has customers in an open air environment as they move from one store to the next. Products Used H-3WP Interior Design Speakers F Series Ceiling Speakers Purpose Simon (A global leader in retail real estate ownership, management and development) wanted to provide their customers with a shopping experience that provided them comfort, relaxation and joy. They required background music that was soft and soothing to make customers feel comfortable and entice them to want to shop longer. Challenge Being an Indoor/Outdoor environment, Toronto Premium Outlets required a hardy speaker system that would stand up to Canada's harsh, cold winters, and hot, humid summers and everything in-between. They required speakers that blended into the architecture, providing clean lines. They also required a speaker that was weather- resistant. The speakers needed to be hardy, look great, blend in and sound outstanding. Solution TOA's H Series Interior Design Speakers blend in with the architecture while providing soothing, relaxing and refreshing background music while customers wander the outdoor hallways from store to store. TOA's H-3WP is a weather-resistant (IPX4), wall-mountable, outdoor 2-way speaker that provides horizontally-wide dispersion. Some of the retail stores have also installed TOA's products including F-Series Ceiling Speakers. Feedback Although a challenging install with the indoor and outdoor areas, the integrator working with the TOA sound design, the resulting sound clarity was great.

    Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Region Chair Gary Carr October 27, 2020 Regional Municipality of Halton 1151 Bronte Road Oakville, Ontario L6M 3L1 Subject: Directors Award from the American Water Works Association Dear Chair Carr: On behalf of the Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Committee I wish to congratulate the Region of Halton on being the first Canadian municipality to earn the Directors Award from the American Water Works Association, in recognition of optimized plant performance and high quality drinking water beyond regulatory requirements. As you are aware, our multi-stakeholder Committee has developed a source protection plan, in collaboration with our municipalities, to protect municipal drinking water sources in the Halton- Hamilton Source Protection Region. The Committee relies on the watershed expertise of Conservation Halton and the Hamilton Conservation Authority. When the Honourable Justice Dennis O’Connor wrote his report and recommendations on the Walkerton tragedy that took place in 2000, he stressed the need for a multiple barrier approach to protecting drinking water supplies and safeguarding human health. This included effective and robust measures dealing with source water protection, water treatment, distribution, testing and training. Again, we congratulate the Region of Halton upon your significant achievement in ongoing plant optimization and supplying residents and businesses with the highest-possible drinking water quality! I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your staff’s active and valuable involvement on the Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Committee. Yours truly, Robert Edmondson Chair, Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Committee Cc.

  • York Region IRRP - Backgrounder
    York Region IRRP - Backgrounder About York Region The York Region IRRP roughly encompasses the municipalities of Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket, King, East Gwillimbury, Whitchurch‐Stouffville and Georgina. The York Region IRRP area is a sub‐region of the GTA North planning region established through the Ontario Energy Board’s (OEB) regional planning process. A portion of Vaughan supplied from the Claireville‐to‐Kleinburg line is being studied as part of the Northwest GTA IRRP, as this line also supplies loads in the West GTA region. York Region is one of the fastest growing regions in Ontario. Extensive urbanization in the last several years has York Region IRRP Area resulted in electricity demand growth greater than the provincial average. With a current population of over one million, its electricity demand peaks at almost 2,000 MW. Under the Province’s Places to Grow Act, York Region is expected to host substantial continued population growth in the coming decades. The York Region IRRP was developed by a working group composed of the Independent Electricity System Operator, Newmarket‐Tay Power, PowerStream and Hydro One Networks Inc. Recommendations in the IRRP The implementation of provincial conservation targets established in the 2013 Long‐Term Energy Plan (LTEP) is a key component of the near‐term plan. Peak‐demand impacts associated 1 with the provincial targets were assumed before identifying residual needs, consistent with the Conservation First Framework. In addition to the recommended actions provided in the table below, provincial programs that encourage the development of distributed generation such as the Feed‐in Tariff (FIT), microFIT and Combined Heat and Power Standard Offer (CHPSOP) programs also contribute to reducing peak demand in the regions.

    700 Applewood Crescent, Suite 200 Vaughan, ON L4K 5X3 Tel: 905-326-6400 Fax: 905-326-0783 Calloway Real Estate Investment Trust Announces Upscale Outlet Mall Market Program Toronto, Ontario (March 15, 2011) - Calloway Real Estate Investment Trust (“Calloway”) (TSX: CWT.UN) announced today that it will be developing its first upscale outlet mall in Canada. Located at Highway 401 and Trafalgar Road in the Town of Halton Hills, just 40 minutes from downtown Toronto, this site is ideally situated to serve a population of over 6 million people within a one-hour drive. “With a team of experts, led by Adams + Associates Architecture, an award-winning firm which has designed 25 outlet malls comprising over 10 million square feet of space in the United States, we plan to develop an unique centre that will attract Golden Horseshoe area customers looking for value priced high- end goods not currently available in Canada,” said Simon Nyilassy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calloway. “We are currently in discussions with major outlet centre developers in the United States.” “This strategic investment in upscale retail outlets responds to a growing demand from Canadian consumers,” said Nyilassy. “Our properties are well-known for their quality and variety of choice for consumers. This exciting new development will bring these attributes to a new segment of the Canadian retail market. The fact that we do not need to proceed through the very costly and lengthy rezoning process for this site means we are able to proceed very quickly to site plan approval and construction.” Calloway, in conjunction with SmartCentres, is planning similar centres across the country.

  • Correspondence
    Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Region To: September 30, 2020 Debbie Scanlon Manager, Approvals Unit Source Protection Programs Branch Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Subject: Request for extension of the policy timeline for risk management plans in the Halton- Hamilton Source Protection Region Dear Debbie, The Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Plan contains polices that utilise Part IV of the Clean Water Act, including the establishment of risk management plans by risk management officials, and also a policy setting a deadline. The Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Plan policy G-1 states that risk management plans for existing significant threats must be established within five years of the date that the Halton- Hamilton Source Protection Plan comes into effect. Therefore all risk management plans for existing threats within the Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Region (SPR) must be established by December 31, 2020. As described in the 2019 Annual Progress Report for the Halton-Hamilton Source Protection Plan, municipalities have made great progress in establishing risk management plans for significant threat activities. In 2019, two significant threat activities were added (commercial fertilizer application and use of land by livestock). The municipal risk management officials continue to put full effort into establishing the last few risk management plans. It is anticipated that there are two risk management plans in the Halton-Hamilton SPR that will likely be delayed beyond 2020 due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and the nature of the activities which require more time for negotiations with the persons undertaking the activities. Risk management officials are keen on continuing their collaborative, negotiated process with the landowner.

But it is not always straightforward for citizens to understand the state of their municipal government’s finances, and even less straight- forward to understand how their government performs relative to other municipalities. To help create awareness and encourage debate, this report provides a summary analy- sis of important financial information for 26 municipalities in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), spanning the eight-year period from 2009 to 2016. Government spending There is considerable variation in per-person spending among the GTHA’s 26 munici- palities. Toronto, the region’s largest city, was the highest spender in 2016 ($4,010 per person), while Milton spent the least ($2,385 per person). Mississauga, Brampton and Hamilton, the region’s next largest cities, spent $2,705, $2,804, and $3,086, respectively.
