Background The Town of Plympton-Wyoming Committee of Adjustment approved Consent Application B-01/19 on March 5, 2019. The approval of these applications will result in the creation of four (4) residential lots. The Committee of Adjustment required the execution of a development agreement to address some of its conditions. Discussion The development agreement was presented to Council at the March 25th, 2019 Planning Council meeting. At this time a question was raised regarding the provision of stormwater management, but no answer was forthcoming at that time. The stormwater will be managed through catch basins located on each property. These are then connected to an individual lateral which flows under Douglas Line. These then attach to an existing stormwater main on the north side of Douglas Line. Financial Implications The financial implications are in the form of revenue to the Town in the form of cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication, frontage fees and development charges. All services will be provided by the applicant, including the road surface returned to municipal standards.

(g) In the event of a contravention of this agreement by a future private owner of a lot in the Plan and/or financial securities have been returned to the Developer or are insufficient to cover costs, the Municipality may seek compensation or reparation pursuant to Section 442 of the Municipal Act R.S.O. 2001, as amended.

26. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

a) Upon receipt of a report of the Consulting Engineer, the Municipal Engineer shall determine if the requirements of this Agreement have been substantially completed.

c) The Municipal Engineer may cause one or more internal television inspection of the new and existing sanitary and storm sewer mains provided for in this Agreement to be made prior to giving his certificate of substantial completion and at the cost of the Developer.

27. GENERAL

(a) The approval of the Municipality of this Plan does not relieve the applicant for a building permit from satisfying any other lawful requirements of the Municipality or other governmental authority.

(b) The Developer on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns in title, hereby covenants to indemnify and save harmless the said Municipality from all actions, causes of actions, suits, claims and demands whatsoever which may arise either directly or indirectly by reason of any alteration of the existing grade or level of any street or streets to bring the said grade or level into conformity with the grade or level approved by the Municipal Engineer or by reason of any damage to the lands abutting on any street or streets or to any building erected thereon, arising from or in consequent of, any such alteration of grade or level or by reason of any injuries or damages that may be suffered by any person or any unassumed street within the said lands before the Municipal Council accepts the completed development.

28. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

a) To ensure the proposed development will not have negative impacts on natural heritage features or their ecological functions, the following mitigation measures are to be followed:

-7-

1. Sediment and erosion control measures are to be installed prior to construction. Sediment control/tree preservation fencing is required around any existing trees to be kept, to limit the amount of dust, loose building materials, and/or sediment-laden runoff from construction that could otherwise flow or blow into the trees to be kept.

2. Soil that is exposed during construction should be re-vegetated as quickly as possible. Stockpiled fill or aggregate should be covered to prevent sediment or dust movement toward the trees to be kept.

3. During building construction, the contractors should employ “good housekeeping practices” to avoid contaminating the groundwater or surface water with oil, gasoline, grease or other materials. Fueling of machinery should occur away from the trees, and no machinery, material, fill, etc., should be stored near the tree preservation fencing.

4. For any construction taking place between April 1 to August 31, site alteration must not contravene the federal Migratory Bird Convention Act (1994) which protects the nests of breeding bird species in Ontario.

b) The Developer shall carry out an archaeological assessment of the subject property and mitigate, through preservation or resource removal and documentation, adverse impacts to any significant archaeological resources found. No grading or other soil disturbances shall take place on the subject property prior to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport confirming that all archaeological resource concerns have met licensing and resource conservation requirements. This is to be accompanied by a Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport letter indicating that the licensee has met the Terms and Conditions for Archaeological Licensing and that the report has been entered into the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports.

c) The Developer will apply for, and secure approval for, a minor variance to bring the detached accessory building on Lot 16 into conformity with the Town of Plympton-Wyoming Zoning By-law 97 of 2003, unless the detached accessory building is removed.

d) The Developer will apply for a building permit for a single detached dwelling which will tie in the existing garage as an attached accessory building on Lot 16 within twelve (12) months of the date of signing of this agreement, unless the detached accessory building is removed.

29. REGISTRATION OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

The Developer agrees that this Agreement shall be registered upon title to the said lands. Such registration shall be at the sole discretion of the Municipality and paid for by the Developer. The Developer agrees that the Plan will not be registered without the consent of the Municipal Solicitor.

30. CERTIFICATION OF TITLE ACT

(b) The only duty and responsibility of the Municipal Engineer arising out of this Agreement is to the Municipality and this Agreement and any work or service done or performed by the Municipal Engineer under this Agreement does not in any way create any liability on the part of the Municipal Engineer to the Developer or any person acquiring any interest in the said lands.

The said policy shall not be subject to lapse or cancellation without 30 days prior written notice to the Town. The Developer shall, at its own expense, maintain the said policy of insurance in full force and effect during construction and until the expiry of the end of the Developer's guarantee (as provided for in this Agreement). Failure to procure and maintain the said policy of insurance shall constitute default under this Agreement. The Owner covenants that it will indemnify and save harmless the Town from any and all claims, demands, actions and causes of action, whether the same shall be successful or unsuccessful and from all costs to which the Town may be at, suffer or be put to in respect of any such action, cause of action, claim or demand in any way arising out of or alleged to arise out of any work, services, operation or device constructed, installed, repaired, maintained or done or omitted to be done or negligently done by the Developer, its servants, agents, contractors or subcontractors under them, in respect of the said works and services, whether of note the same shall be required to be done under the terms of this Agreement.

33. DEFAULT BY DEVELOPER

(b) The Developer acknowledges that the Municipality is entering into this Agreement and approving the Plan on the express representation of the Developer that it and its successors and assigns will observe and perform all the provisions of the Agreement and that the Municipality is of the opinion that the Plan would not be in the public interest if the Developer, its successors and assigns, the owner or owners from time to time of the lands in the Plan were not obligated to observe and perform all the said provisions except to the extent of the Municipality may lawfully change them.

STAFF REPORT

Report to: Mayor & Members of Council From: Sarah Baldwin, Planner Approved by: Carolyn Tripp, Chief Administrative Officer Date: March 22nd 2019 Re: The Elms: Complete Application Received County File No. 38T-18003 Draft Plan of Subdivision Front Concession, Part Lot 13; Plan 2 Part Maitland Street; Registered Plan 25R10228, Parts 1, 5 and 7 ______Recommendation

That the report by Sarah Baldwin, Planner, dated March 22, 2019 regarding The Elms: Complete Application report be received and that staff advise County of Lambton Planning Services that the Town agrees that the Draft Plan of Subdivision application is complete.

Background

An application was received on March 12, 2019 which proposes to develop the subject property with 14 building lots for single detached dwellings. The subject property is 3.10 hectares (7.66 acres) and is designated 'Serviced Hamlet Area' in the Town of Plympton-Wyoming Official Plan and zoned Residential - 5 (R5) in the Town of Plympton-Wyoming Zoning By-law 97 of 2003.

The purpose of this report is to determine whether required reports and other information have been submitted with this application. If so, Council can deem the application "complete' and the required public hearing can be scheduled.

Section 17.6.1 of the Town's Official Plan sets out the information and materials the Town may require as an application submission for draft plan of subdivision. Pertinent information that Council might require includes:

 information and/or conceptual plans to confirm that the lands can be provided with municipal water, sanitary sewers and storm drainage;  Slope stability, geotechnical and/or erosion rate studies (section 17.6.1 l);  A traffic impact study (section 17.6.1 bb).

Staff Report – Town of Plympton-Wyoming Page | 1

Figure 1: Subject Property

Reports and Information Submitted The following plans and reports were received in March 2018 and on March 12, 2019:

 Traffic Impact Study;  Conceptual Stormwater Management Plan;  Report with detailed SWM Plan and servicing plans;  Geotechnical Erosion/Slope Stability Report, with approval from SCRCA along with an illustration of Erosion Hazard Limit and Errol Creek erosion comparison mapping;  Preliminary drawings by NortWest Engineering re: Fleming Drain Improvement Project; and,  Revised, signed Draft Plan of Subdivision.

Staff Report – Town of Plympton-Wyoming Page | 2

Figure 2: Draft Plan of Subdivision

Discussion

County of Lambton Planning Services has requested that the Director of Public Works review the submitted reports and plans before circulating the application to the required departments and agencies and setting the date for the statutory Public Meeting.

The draft plan as submitted contains elements which are at odds with discussions held with the applicant and St Clair Region Conservation Authority and Planning staff. The hazard lands, within the Errol Creek valley, are proposed to be a separate lot. This is contrary to the request from SCRCA for these lands to be part of Lot 7. The proposed 66 foot right-of-way will have one (1) lot to the west, separating it from Schram Drive. A previous proposal from the applicant had a 46 foot ROW abutting Schram Drive (Staff report 6.4 October 10th, 2018).

It is staff's opinion that the application can be deemed complete. While the information that the Town requested has been generally been submitted, the applicant will be asked about the revisions discussed at previous meetings with SCRCA and previous lot layouts.

Staff Report – Town of Plympton-Wyoming Page | 3

If Council is supportive of our recommendation, we will proceed with preparing the public hearing notice, our planning report and a draft official plan amendment after discussions about these matters with the applicant.

Thus, the circulation of the application to departments and agencies, and subsequent notice of the public meeting should be delayed until initial comments are received from the Director of Public Works for the Town of Plympton- Wyoming. The public hearing can be scheduled for the May 27th, 2019 Planning meeting.

Financial Implications

No financial implications on the Town at this time. A 5% parkland dedication will be assessed as a condition of Draft Approval of this Subdivision. Development charges will be assessed during the building permit process.

STAFF REPORT

Report to: Mayor & Members of Council From: Carolyn Tripp, Chief Administrative Officer Cc: Norma Roddick-Preece, Treasurer Date: April 5th 2019 Re: Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) Rural and Northern Communities Funding Stream

Recommendation

That the report by Carolyn Tripp, Chief Administrative Officer dated April 5th 2019 regarding the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP), the Rural and Northern Communities Funding Stream be received and that Council directs staff to apply for the enhancement and reconstruction of Confederation Line between Broadway Street and Ketter Way.

Background

The Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) is a federal program designed to create long-term economic growth, build inclusive, sustainable and resilient communities and support a low-carbon economy.

Through the ICIP, the federal government is providing $11.8 billion dollars in federal infrastructure funding to cost-share projects under the following four streams: • Public Transit • Green Infrastructure • Community, Culture and Recreation • Rural and Northern Communities

The Province of Ontario is a cost sharing partner in these programs. Under this intake of the Rural and Northern Communities Funding Stream, Ontario is supporting the transportation priorities of small, rural and northern communities.

The Rural and Northern Communities Funding Stream supports projects that improve the quality of life in rural and northern communities by responding to rural and northern infrastructure priorities. Approximately $250 million in federal funding will be available over 10 years starting in 2018-19. The province will roll-out the funding through multiple intakes.

Staff Report – Town of Plympton-Wyoming Page | 1

The objective of the current intake is to: • Support improved and/or more reliable road assets • Support improved and/or more reliable bridge assets • Support improved and/or more reliable air infrastructure assets • Support improved and/or more reliable marine infrastructure assets

The current intake targets near-term transportation improvement projects.

Road infrastructure projects will be assessed for safety in terms of collisions and the reduction of collisions or collision severity associated with the project. This could be assessed through collision history, traffic volumes and Collision Modification Factor or Operational Performance Function depending on the project and information available.

Discussion

It is the recommendation of staff that the Town submit an application to enhance and improve Confederation Line between Broadway Street and Ketter Way, as this roadway and the associated intersections have shown to have higher than average collision history, increased traffic volumes (and future traffic volumes due to the new plan of subdivision) and is included in the Town’s 5-year capital plan.

Financial Implications The cost for upgrades to Confederation Line, including signalizing the intersection at Broadway and improvements to all other intersections:

Signalized Intersection (Broadway/Confederation) $400,000 (including engineering) Improvements to Confederation Line $700,000 (including engineering) Total Project Cost $1,100,000

The potential project funding is summarized as follows:

Town of Plympton-Wyoming $366,000 Rural and Northern Communities Funding $734,000 Total Potential Project Costs $1,100,000

The Town’s 2019 budget includes $60,000 for the engineering of this area. The remainder of the Town’s portion of the project cost would be funded through Development Charges Reserve, due to new development pressures in the immediate area.

With contaminated recycling on the rise, the market is being flooded with non-recyclable items. This is causing dramatic cost increases and fewer items recycled. We need to put a stop to this immediately. Please see some very important tips:

When it comes to recycling size does matter. Anything smaller than a credit card jams the recycling sorting equipment.

Plastics can be tricky – if you can poke your finger through it, it is not recyclable like grocery bags, bubble wrap or produce bags.

Studio 651 requests permission to use the sidewalk in front of the entire building our store resides in. We are having a Spring night market (vendor sale) on Friday, May 3 from 4-7pm, with set up an hour prior. This market includes vendors from within our store, and other storefronts from wyoming. We are aware that we must keep 1.5metres of space for pedestrians and that each vendor is to use a 10x10' tent or smaller.

Studio 651 also requests that we be able to 'close' the 'parking lane' directly infant of the entire building our store is in, just for the duration of this event so that our vendors' tents are noticeable to drivers' by and as to not 'overcrowd' the area.

An insurance form with The Town of Plympton-Wyoming, listed as additionally insured is attached, the application form will be sent in a separate email.

Please also let us know any questions, concerns.

Thank you,

Your Round-Up – Things You Need to Know

The past two weeks were full of government announcements and significant news relevant to our members. AMO was also active representing members at Queen’s Park. This roundup identifies good news as well as decisions that will have negative municipal impacts. AMO will continue to work with the government to attempt to mitigate these as much as possible. Here are the highlights:

Federal Budget 2019: Progress on Municipal Priorities

The 2019 Federal Budget included increased funding to municipal priorities including: $2.2 billion Top-Up for the federal Gas Tax Fund to double funding to municipal governments this year; $2.7 billion ($5-6 billion with leveraged funds) for rural and northern broadband expansion with the goal of connecting every Canadian to high- speed internet services by 2030; and $1 billion to help municipal governments improve energy efficiency in municipal facilities, commercial, and residential properties. Federal funding for asset management planning capacity building was also included. More information is found in AMO’s Policy Update sent Tuesday.

AMO Contact: Craig Reid, Senior Advisor, [email protected], 416.971.9856 ext. 334.

Infrastructure Funding

Ontario announced application intakes for road and bridge projects under the federal Rural and Northern Infrastructure Fund. Details are on the Grants Ontario website. Federal and provincial Public Transit Infrastructure Fund will open soon. Funding under the Community, Culture and Recreation, and Green Infrastructure streams are pending, anticipated later this year. The Ministry of Infrastructure will be holding webinars to provide information on these two streams starting in mid-April. AMO understands invitations will go to municipal governments shortly.

Ontario also announced that the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) would expand to $200 million for the formula component in 2019, as previously announced. However, the government will be redesigning OCIF and will not flow any of the 2018 or 2019 OCIF Top-Up (the application portion). This amounts to $150 million. Road and bridge projects submitted in 2018 will be fast tracked under Rural and Northern and leaves the status of submitted water related projects uncertain. Any inquiries related to Rural and Northern Fund or OCIF Top-Up projects should be directed to OMAFRA directly by phone or e-mail at 1-877-424-1300 or [email protected].

Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) 2019 Allocations Announced

The total 2019 funding envelope to municipalities decreases by $5 million to $505 million. These dollars are distributed to 389 municipalities, providing unconditional operating support for local frontline services. More information is found in AMO’s Policy Update.

AMO Contact: Matthew Wilson, Senior Advisor, [email protected], 416.971.9856 ext. 323.

Unconditional Grant for Small and Rural Municipalities to Improve Local Service Delivery and Efficiency

405 municipalities have received notice of a one-time payment from a $200 million sum to help local service delivery and effect operational efficiencies. The allocations are formula based that predominantly targets municipalities with under 25,000 households.

AMO Contact: Matthew Wilson, Senior Advisor, [email protected], 416.971.9856 ext. 323.

Bill 66: Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act

AMO President Jamie McGarvey presented to the Standing Committee sharing advice on a number of its Schedules - construction employer designation, the repeal of the Pawnbrokers Act, and childcare standards. The Committee accepted AMO’s amendment request to extend protection against construction employer designation to include local housing corporations, and district social service administration boards. Schedule 10 that proposed to enable municipal governments to pass ‘open for business’ bylaws will be removed from the Bill when it passes Third Reading. See AMO’s submission and prior analysis of the municipal implications with the Bill.

AMO Contact: Michael Jacek, Senior Advisor, [email protected], 416.971.9856 ext. 329.

Centralized Procurement: Clarification Needed On Applicability to Municipal Governments

The government announced it is committed to building a modern centralized procurement system that is anticipated to drive significant cost savings. It will apply to Ontario ministries, provincial agencies, as well as broader public sector organizations such as hospitals and schools. There was no mention of municipal governments. AMO’s Local Authority Services is already active in the bulk procurement of services and products for municipal governments. AMO will be following up to clarify.

AMO Contact: Michael Jacek, Senior Advisor, [email protected], 416.971.9856 ext. 329.

Changes to Hydro Have Municipal Impact

Changes are on the way to Ontario Hydro including reform to conservation programs, the Ontario Energy Board, and ending the previous government’s Fair Hydro Plan. There will be impact on Local Distribution Companies (LDCs). By uploading the delivery of conservation programs to the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), LDCs will no longer receive up to $150 million in bonus payments for achieving targets. For more information, see the Ontario Newsroom.

AMO Contact: Michael Jacek, Senior Advisor, [email protected], 416.971.9856 ext. 329.

Private Member’s Bill Introduced to Change MPAC Board Composition

Private Member Bill 86 proposes to increase the number of designated taxpayer representatives from four to seven. Left unchanged are the existing two provincial government representatives and the seven municipal government representatives. The rationale for this change is unclear as municipal government appointees are, in fact, taxpayer representatives.

March 26, 2019 On March 20, 2019, the Government of Ontario announced one-time funding for small and rural municipalities to improve service delivery and efficiency.

405 municipal governments have received letters from MMAH Minister Steve Clark outlining their funding allocation and details of the government’s expectations. The letter recommends the money be used to improve how municipalities deliver services to reduce ongoing costs of providing those services. The use of this money is another opportunity for municipal governments to demonstrate to their taxpayers and the province how they can move innovation forward.

There are resources available for municipalities to learn more about best practices related to efficiency, effectiveness and innovation. The Minister’s letter indicates ministry regional offices can assist with ideas about how best to invest the funds.

AMO also has information resources available. From 2010 to 2014, AMO delivered a project funded by MMAH called the Ontario Municipal Knowledge Network (OMKN). While the project concluded in 2015, the information assembled is still available on the OMKN website at www.omkn.ca. While the site is archived, it contains a wealth information on best practices. It also contains customized search capacity linked to key municipal best practice sources in North America and Europe.

March 2019 SCRCA Holds 2019 Annual General Meeting The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) held it’s 2019 Annual General Meeting on February 28, 2019, in Wallaceburg where outgoing Chair and Director, Steve Arnold, along with Vice-Chair, Andy Bruziewicz, presented the annual Conservation Awards to community members who have significantly contributed to the environmental health of the St. Clair Region.

Darrell Randell was honoured for his longtime commitment, advocacy, and partnership for wetland and habitat restoration projects that have resulted in the improved environmental quality of our region. In addition, Darrell has been an active member on the Thames-Sydenham Region Source Protection Committee and numerous committees for the St. Clair River Area of Concern program.

The second Conservation Award was presented to the Lambton Shores Phragmites Community Group (LSPCG). Established in 2012, the community group has worked tirelessly to control the invasive grass Phragmites in the Municipality of Lambton Shores. The group has also spearheaded a number of outreach initiatives that have extended well beyond the borders of Lambton Shores.

The SCRCA welcomed ten new Directors to their 2019 Board in addition to new leadership – Joe Faas, representing the Regional Municipality of Chatham-Kent, was elected Chair and Larry Gordon, representing the Village of Point Edward, was elected Vice Chair.

Union Gas continues to support our conservation education programs. At the 2019 Annual General Meeting, Chris Young, Union Gas Administrative Manager presented a cheque to SCRCA Conservation Educators, Melissa Levi and Sharon Nethercott, and SCRCA Chair, Joe Faas.

Maple Syrup Festival Once again, the weather was perfect for the annual SCRCA Maple Syrup Festival held on March 16th and 17th at the A.W. Campbell Conservation Area near Alvinston. Over 800 people visited the Conservation Area to see demonstrations on the different methods of maple syrup production used throughout history and to learn about the significance this resource has had in the lives of First Nations people and pioneers.

Our guests were also welcome to explore the over 8 km of trails at the Conservation Area, sample homemade maple taffy and take a scenic horse- drawn wagon ride through the park. Proceeds from this event go towards maintaining and improving the facilities throughout the A.W. Campbell Conservation Area.

Visitors were taught about how maple syrup was discovered by First Nation people (right) and were also introduced to pioneer methods of transporting sap from the sugar bush (pictured above). scrca.on.ca Camping Season Just Around the Corner The camping season is almost here – opening weekend for the Authority’s three regional campgrounds is April 26th.

Survey Work to be Conducted Throughout the St. Clair Region Watershed In 2018, the SCRCA was granted funding through the National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP) with support from the City of Sarnia and St. Clair Township to initiate a floodplain mapping project. Staff acquired high-resolution LIDAR point cloud data and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data courtesy of the Southwestern Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP) program. As part of this project, the SCRCA is in the process of hiring two GPS/Survey Technicians to validate the model’s output. Staff will be in the field collecting elevation data near drains, creeks and rivers throughout the City of Sarnia and St. Clair Township this summer. Results from this project will assist in the development of accurate floodplain mapping for use in flood risk management and planning and regulations.

The Honourable Marc Garneau MP Transport Canada 330 Sparks Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N5

Dear Mr. Garneau, MP,

At the regular meeting held on Tuesday, March 26, 2019, the Council of the Town of St. Marys received a delegation from All Aboard St. Marys, an advocacy group that is leading the fight for better Canadian rail passenger service. During the regular meeting of Council on March 26, the following resolution was passed:

Whereas The Corporation of the Town of St. Marys supports the National Transportation Policy, being a declaration in Section 5 of the Canada Transportation Act, S.C. 1996, c. 10 (as amended), which states: It is declared that a competitive, economic and efficient national transportation system that meets the highest practicable safety and security standards and contributes to a sustainable environment and makes the best use of all modes of transportation at the lowest total cost is essential to serve the needs of its users, advance the well-being of Canadians and enable competitiveness and economic growth in both urban and rural areas throughout Canada. Those objectives are most likely to be achieved when: (a) competition and market forces, both within and among the various modes of transportation, are the prime agents in providing viable and effective transportation services; (b) regulation and strategic public intervention are used to achieve economic, safety, security, environmental or social outcomes that cannot be achieved satisfactorily by competition and market forces and do not unduly favour, or reduce the inherent advantages of, any particular mode of transportation; (c) rates and conditions do not constitute an undue obstacle to the movement of traffic within Canada or to the export of goods from Canada;

TOWN OF ST. MARYS P.O. Box 998, St. Marys, ON. N4X 1B6

Telephone: 519-284-2340 ● Fax: 519-284-3881

(d) the transportation system is accessible without undue obstacle to the mobility of persons, including persons with disabilities; and (e) governments and the private sector work together for an integrated transportation system. Whereas The government of Canada has subsequently stated: “we are serious about climate change” and “smart investments in transit help connection communities …. We will continue to work with communities and invest in the infrastructure they need today and into the future”; Whereas Abacus data has indicated that Canadians are focused on building up transit to reduce congestion and connecting communities;

Whereas The Canadian Transport Commission main finding at public hearings in 1977 was that there should be no further reductions to passenger rail services;

Whereas The frequency of VIA trains running on the North Main Line from Sarnia to London and from London through St. Marys/Stratford to Toronto has been reduced from 14 in 1977 to 4 today;

Whereas There is a need for balanced transportation with more people using transit and less using automobiles;

Whereas The changing demographic relating to house prices, housing affordability will require further expansions of transit;

Whereas There is a need to visit tourist sites such as the Stratford Festival, The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum;

Whereas The annual cost of congestion to the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area economy alone is between $7.5 and $11 billion;

Whereas There are 10 million more vehicles on the road today than there were in 2000; and

Whereas the Town of St. Marys requests the support of this resolution from all communities served by VIA;

Be It Resolved That the Council of the Corporation of the Town of St. Marys recommends to the Government of Canada to adequately fund and fully support VIA Rail Canada in increasing the frequency, reliability, ticket cost and speed of VIA rail service on the North Main Line in 2019.

TOWN OF ST. MARYS P.O. Box 998, St. Marys, ON. N4X 1B6

Telephone: 519-284-2340 ● Fax: 519-284-3881

As outlined in the above resolution, the Council of the Town of St. Marys is seeking the support of the Government of Canada to adequately fund and fully support VIA Rail Canada by increasing the frequency, reliability, ticket cost and speed of VIA rail service on the north main line in 2019. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further information or clarification in regards to the request of St. Marys Town Council. Sincerely,
