Report No. 1527072 ii PHASE ONE ESA – GLEN ABBEY GOLF CLUB, OAKVILLE, ONTARIO 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Golder Associates Ltd. (“Golder”) was retained by ClubLink Corporation ULC and ClubLink Holdings Limited (“ClubLink”) to conduct a Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (“Phase One ESA”) of the property located at 1333 and 1313 Dorval Drive and a portion of 1301 Greeneagle Drive in Oakville, Ontario (herein after referred to as the “Site” or “Phase One Property”). At the time of the Site reconnaissance of 1333 and 1313 Dorval Drive, conducted on December 3, 2015, the Site consisted of a 229 acre (93 hectare) parcel of land consisting of 7 component parcels which was developed as the Glen Abbey Golf Club, an 18 hole golf course and associated infrastructure. The following buildings were observed on-Site: a clubhouse and event centre for members including a pro shop (the “Clubhouse”), a building occupied by Golflogix, a GPS service (the “Golflogix Building”), a residential dwelling (the “Residential Dwelling”), a maintenance and storage building for turf equipment and supplies (the “Maintenance Building”), and office associated with the Maintenance Building (the “Maintenance Office”), a shed for the storage of pesticides and fertilizers (the “Lawn Maintenance Shed”), a golf cart storage building, an indoor driving range and a golf store building (the “Academy of Golf Building”), a halfway house refreshment building (the “Halfway House”), and two pumphouse buildings. A second Site reconnaissance was completed at a portion of 1301 Greeneagle Drive on August 22, 2016. The portion of the Site located at 1301 Greeneagle Drive was observed to consist of an undeveloped, landscaped yard area. There was an off-Site area located within and encompassed by the Site which is developed with a landscaped yard area and an office building for the Royal Canadian Golf Association and affiliates, golf hall of fame and Canadian golf museum (the “Raydor Estate”). The entirety of Raydor Estate is off-Site and is not part of existing redevelopment applications. It is understood that the Site is to be subdivided and redeveloped for residential and commercial uses. The Site is owned by ClubLink. Based on the aerial photographs, the Phase One Property appears to have included agricultural fields and associated buildings since at least 1934 and was developed with the original golf course at some point between 1960 and 1966. The Site Representatives (as defined In Section 5.0) reported that a portion of the Site

  • Financial Analysis
    Financial Analysis In 2016, Golf Canada recorded a surplus of $99,384 compared to a deficit of $915,495 recognized in 2015. This represents the first surplus since the 2013 fiscal year when $191,695 was recognized. Our staff, partners at the Provincial Golf Associations and nearly 2,500 volunteers from across Canada deserve thanks for their collaboration and valued contributions which resulted in a $1 million increase from last year. Despite headwinds from macro-economic factors and reorganizations of major industry corporations over the past few years for all Canadian golf industry stakeholders, we’re confident that the sport remains ripe with opportunity, excitement, and programming to develop the next generation of athletes. As the National Sport Federation (NSF) for golf in Canada, our mandate is to promote participation and excellence in the game, while ensuring there is capacity for the sport and interaction between all the stakeholders. 2016 was a year in which we made great strides in improving the long- term health of the Association and we look forward to continuing those efforts in the future as we recognize the importance of Golf Canada’s role as a leader in the industry. During the year, there were several positive financial highlights to be proud of: • An increase in total revenue by $1,789,785 (5%) over 2015; • Our core professional championships (RBC Canadian Open and CP Women’s Open) both recognized a surplus in Oakville, Ont. and Priddis, Alta. respectively; • RBC was extended for another six years through 2023 as title

As cities face numerous growing challenges such as housing, public transit and the lack of public greenspaces, closing municipal golf courses has been touted as a possible solution. While municipal golf courses are open to the public, barriers to entry such as a dress code and green fees have left them inaccessible to many residents making them not truly public spaces.

    Participant Statement May 14, 2021 Oakville, ON Local Planning Appeal Tribunal 655 Bay Street, Suite 1500 Toronto, ON M5G 1E5 Attention: Mr. Jason C. Kwan, Case Coordinator/Planner, [email protected] | 437-231-5651 Re: LPAT Case #s: PL171084, PL180158, PL180580, MM180022 and MM170004. Dear Jason Kwan, Mark Flowers, Kyle Gossen, Samantha Lampert, Robert Howe, Catherine Lyons, Nadia Chandra, Isaac Tang, Katie Butler, Konstantine Stavrakos, Rachel McPherson Duncan, Denise Baker and Raj Kehar, I fully and wholeheartedly support the Town of Oakville in its fight to preserve world-famous, iconic, Glen Abbey Golf Course – Home of the Canadian Open (30 of them), Jack Nicklaus’ first solo design of 410 in 45 countries, Canada’s first, and one of North America’s first hub-and-spoke golf courses, built for an emerging spectator sport. We, who live here, call Glen Abbey “The Heart of Oakville” because it is a beautiful, urban greenspace; and heritage landmark, that is integral to our Town’s identity, health and wellbeing. In fact, Glen Abbey is also the name of the planned Oakville community built around the golf course, the community where I live and have lived for over 30 years. I hope this LPAT hearing sets a precedent so NEVER AGAIN do “the people” of any Ontario municipality waste valuable time (5 years and counting!) and resources including $9 million+ taxpayer dollars (Jill Gowland’s Freedom of Information Act request, as cited in David Lea’s article, Town of Oakville’s bill for Glen Abbey fight now approaching $9 million: Oakville Mayor Rob Burton says rules of town’s official plan must be defended, Oakville Beaver and Toronto Star, March 15 and 18, 2019) to prevent a developer who does not live in their community from flitting in and out to DESTROY HERITAGE PROPERTY considered precious and irreplaceable … PRICELESS … by the community … for (I can think of no other reasons than) PERSONAL PROFIT and GREED.

  • I Am Writing As a Resident of Oakville to Express My Deep Concern with the Proposal by Clublink
    I am writing as a resident of Oakville to express my deep concern with the proposal by ClubLink. The people involved in ClubLink are seeking the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal's ("Tribunal") permission to destroy an invaluable cultural heritage resource in the Town by replacing the Glen Abbey Golf Course with a massive high-rise redevelopment. The people behind this proposal are pushing the Tribunal to approve a proposal which is contrary to the public interest, the welfare of the people of Oakville, the Halton Region and the Province of Ontario. Why? In part because Provincial planning policy, and the Region of Halton and Oakville Official Plans do not allow this type of intensification in a mature residential neighbourhood, far removed from planned transit. Please consider: * Town Council unanimously rejected the development proposal multiple times; * Glen Abbey Golf Course is an historic and internationally-renowned golf course designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, which has hosted 30 Canadian Open championship - more than any other course; * Glen Abbey is a landmark in the Town of Oakville, and is designated a Cultural Heritage Landscape under the Ontario Heritage Act; * Glen Abbey’s unique cultural heritage value distinguishes it from other golf course redevelopment applications across the province; * The Livable Oakville Official Plan guides the development and growth of our community and conforms to the Province of Ontario’s Growth Plan; * Glen Abbey is not designated as one of the Town’s growth areas planned to accommodate major
