DATE: April 6, 2010

TO: Chair Roughley and Members of Committee of the Whole

SUBJECT: Traffic Controls and Parking Restrictions - FNB Developments

PREPARED BY: Gavin R. Watson, Manager of Development Engineering

1. RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is respectfully recommended that:

1) Report 008-ENG-l0 be received and;

2) That the proposed traffic controls listed in Attachment 'B' be approved and;

3) That the Clerk be requested to prepare and submit the necessary bylaws for consideration by Council in due course.

2. PREAMBLE:

As part of the approval process for residential developments a site specific Traffic Impact Study is required. This study analyzes and makes recommendations with respect to traffic movements and traffic control devices within the development, which includes parking and no stopping controls. The study and the associated drawings are reviewed and accepted by the Town's Engineering Consultant as part of the subdivision approval process.

Implementation of the recommendations in the study are key to allow the roads and adjacent to the development to function properly.

2010-Apr-06 cow: Page 2 of3

3. BASIC DATA PERTAINING TO THE MATTER:

A Traffic Impact Study was prepared by the developer's consultant and the recommendations contained in the report were accepted by the Town.

The recommendations within the report included the installation of a number of stop signs along with no parking and no stopping signs. A key map (Attachment 'A') has been provided showing the road pattern within the development.

Attachment 'B' represents a full listing of the recommended installations for this development. This attachment is structured in the same format as the applicable bylaw for ease of reference. Should these installations be approved by Committee, the Clerk will prepare and submit the necessary bylaw for consideration by Council.

The stop signs, in accordance with the Subdivision Agreement have been installed on a temporary basis. The no parking and no stopping signs have not been installed, but the developer will be directed to have them installed upon passage of the bylaw. There currently are dwelling units occupied within the development.

4. EFFECT ON TOWN FINANCES:

4.1 CURRENT YEAR:

There are no financial impacts to the municipality as the developer is required to provide and install the signs in accordance with the Subdivision Agreement. Should an infraction of the bylaw occur the Town could receive money from the paid fines.

4.2 FUTURE YEARS:

Once the development receives final assumption the Town would be responsible for ongoing maintenance and replacement of the signs. Should an infraction of the bylaw occur the Town could receive money from the paid fines.

On an annual baSiS, with and by internal staff, we are undertaking review on Permit to Take Water, Certificate of Approval, DWQMS and various regulations associated with operating the water system, ministry inspection reports, etc.

The Middletown Road Rechlorination building has been decommissioned and has been removed off site. The Magnetic Flow meter and all associated hardware has been removed. A new gate valve has been installed to allow for better control and a butterfly valve was removed to facilitate swabbing.

As a requirement of the DWQMS, an internal audit of the water system was completed in November and a report was sent to council. Weekly training sessions have been incorporated to help staff become more familiar and aware of the requirements of the DWQMS. Page 30f6

The Wastewater Division has a number of operationally-based Operating and Capital projects currently underway or recently completed as follows:

It should be noted that Item#4 above, "Number of After Hour Call Out Alarms" in November and December were due to new alarms in Plant D which has now been rectified. Two main alarm problems were from the new filter building reject chamber and the existing filter reject chamber.

After three months of operation, it has come apparent that the new filter reject pumps for the new filter building are undersized for the expansion. Measures have been taken to temporarily operate the system until new pumps can be specified, purchased and delivered. This will take place early in 2010.

With Plant "D" on line and operational it was found that the existing filter reject pumps in the existing filter building were not hydraulically capable of pumping to their full potential because of the distance and height of the new discharge location in the Headworks building. Since this is a design issue the cost for this work and replacement equipment will be determined at a later date.

We had four plugged sewer calls in the 4th quarter. Three of the four plugged sewers were video camera inspected and nothing was found. The fourth was filled with grease from the homeowner's property.

The weeks of October 5th and October 12th, Ontario Green ways hauled 5,207 m3 of biosolids Page 4 of6

to agricultural lands. This is down significantly from the previous years due to the new biosolids holding facilities in the new expanded portion of the plant. In 2010 the amount will ultimately appear higher then previous years.

On October 23,2009, the Dissette Street Pumping Station and other properties around Bridge and Dissette Streets were without power for exactly three hours. The pumping station ran on back up power for the duration.

On October 28, 2009, Samantha Gergen, Compliance Coordinator, prepared a three year history data report for the Lake Simcoe Strategy Plan. This information from Bradford west Gwillimbury will be used, along with other phosphorous contributors to Lake Simcoe to aid in their Lake Simcoe Phosphorous Reduction Plan. This plan is scheduled for release in 2010.

On November 4,2009, the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury took part in the "Take a Student to Work Day". The parents and children met at the Wastewater plant for an initial Orientation/Presentation by Brad Sullivan, Wastewater Manager and then they were provided a plant tour by Wastewater Supervisor, Rick Way.

On November 10, 2009, the Wastewater Plant celebrated the Official Opening/ Plaque Unveiling Ceremony. Speeches by Jay Currier, Town Manager, Mayor Doug White, Deputy Mayor, Dennis Roughley, Archie Yu, Kenaidan Contracting, Michael Gundry, AECOM and Brad Sullivan, Wastewater Manager. Mayor Doug White performed the unveiling of the plaque ceremony. A Plant tour was offered to interested participants along with a construction slide show, SCADA demonstration, food, cake and refreshments.

To allow Plant "0" to operate under normal conditions, Plant "B" was taken off line but still functioning/operating as a closed loop system. This way Plant "B" could be brought back on line anytime through the winter without freeze up problems.

On December 1st, Kenaidan Contracting closed up shop at the Wastewater Plant. The site trailers were removed by December 3rd. On going deficiency work has continued through this period.

On going yearly maintenance on the Collection System has continued with our manhole repair program. This quarter twelve more manholes were repaired.

On December 7, 2009, the Town of Bradford welcomed Kyle Williams, Class 2 WWT Operator as the incumbent for the vacant Wastewater position.

On December 10, 2009, Teresa Znajewski, General Chemical performed an optimization dosage study for the reduction of total phosphorous at the Wastewater plant. Through the study it was determined that "the current plant dosage is optimized based on settle sample analysis", therefore no changes are required to the operational practices.

In November, 2009, Boyd Rivers, Maintenance Millwright! WWT Operator attained a Class 1 WWT License. Page 50f6

CAPITAL PROJECTS - WATER

The Trisan water main and service connection replacement contract on Church St. was completed. Remediation of the road will continue in the Spring of 2010.

The Moretti water main and service connection replacement contract on Col borne St. was completed to Britannia Ave. Work will commence on the remaining portion of the project in the Spring of 2010.

CAPITAL PROJECTS - WASTEWATER

In the 4th Quarter the final construction stages have been completed on the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion. The deficiency list of over 500 items identified last quarter is slowly being decreased. As stated before this number may seem high but it should be noted that AECOM Consulting (formerly TSH) has identified every meticulous item so that the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury gets the best product and workmanship that this project deserves. The work on these deficiencies will continue until completion. A Maintenance Holdback is in place to ensure all work is completed in a timely professional and competent format.

At the Ritchie Stong Pumping Station, the 2009 capital work was completed in the 4th quarter. This work included paving, landscaping and a SCADA interface security surveillance system.

MAJOR WATER AND WASTWATER ACTIVITIES IN THE lSIOUARTER OF 2010 Water

Work on a Cross Connection By-law and Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury position will need to start with close consultation with the Building Department. Wastewater

The 2010 capital budget includes infrastructure replacement on Dissette St, Holland St East, Holland St West, Colbourne St, and an EA study.

An Inflow/ Infiltration Study (1&1) will take place this year on the Bradford West Gwillimbury Collection System. This could carry over from quarter to quarter.

The Town met with Mike Gundry, AECOM Consulting in December and requested further action be taken to move this process to the next step. Stress testing of Plants Band C was completed in August 2007. Mike Gundry of AECOM has prepared a Final Stress Test Report and has been given to the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury. Engineering Cover Report and Consultants Document will be presented to Council within the next 2 quarters. This report has been on the shelf and needs to be addressed as early as next quarter. This recommendation was identified in the Wastewater Compliance Audit this summer by the Environmental Officer, louis Belcourt. Page 6 of6

Sewer Use Bylaw role out will take place in the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2010. This item has been identified in the Engineering StrategiC Plan and is slated for completion in year 2 of the 5 year plan.

An addition to staff has been approved by Council for the Water and Wastewater Divisions. A Maintenance Foreperson will be hired to coordinate and ensure all Maintenance work is being performed or identified and that the PM Program is being administered and adhered to properly and professionally. With the expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant and the strict regulations in the DWQMS in the water division, this should alleviate maintenance issues/concerns/equipment inspections being missed or not properly addressed.

4. EFFECT ON TOWN FINANCES:

These works have either been placed into current Operating Budgets or have been identified to Council as capital works in the capital Budget. Some of the items will be subject to separate reports to Council and as such, the financial implications of same will be tabled at that time.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES

REPORT#: 018-ENG-2010

DATE: April 6, 2010

TO: Chair Roughley and Members of Committee of the Whole

SUBJECT: Holland West Parking Restrictions

PREPARED BY: Vince Musacchio, P.Eng., PMP, Manager of Capital Projects

1. RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is respectfully recommended:

a) THAT Committee recommends that Council approve the recommendation to establish a weekday parking restriction on the north side of Holland Street West between Moore Street and Barrie Street in the PM Peak Period from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM;

b) THAT the Town Clerk be requested to prepare a by-law to give effect to same for consideration by Council.

2. PREAMBLE:

In October 2009, the Holland Street Class Environmental Assessment from Professor Day Drive to Barrie Street was completed by iTRANS Consulting. As part of the final report, iTRANS provided a recommended plan to improve the traffic operations through this Holland Street West corridor. A number of the recommendations are operational in nature and do not require an approval through the Class EA process.

It is recommended that a Monday to Friday parking ban be implemented on the north side of Holland Street, between Moore Street and Barrie Street, in the afternoon peak traffic period from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM. This parking restriction will help reduce congestion on the west leg of the Holland Street at the Barrie Street intersection. 3. BASIC DATA PERTAINING TO THE MATTER:

There is currently a parking ban on Holland Street immediately east of Barrie Street, however, with no such ban on the west side, vehicles fail to use the curb lane as a through lane. In order to make full use of the westbound curb lane to reduce queues and delays, it is recommended that curb lane parking on the north side should be restricted (and enforced) in the afternoon peak period. The additional parking ban needs to extend approximately gOm west of Barrie Street, as far as Moore Street. The parking ban would be in effect for the hours of 3:30PM to 6:30PM on Monday to Friday. The study indicates that there is sufficient off-street parking in the vicinity to accommodate the additional vehicles during the proposed parking restrictions.

4. EFFECT ON TOWN FINANCES:

4.1 CURRENT YEAR:

The expected cost for the purchase of the additional signage is $1,000

4.1 FUTURE YEARS:

None.

Qualitative feedback from visitors and testimonials; and 4. Interest level for participating in 2010 tour.

The results from the survey were compiled, analyzed and reported back to the organizing committee. Highlights include: • 100% rated the tour as very good or excellent. • 100% agreed to participate in 2010. • 200-300 attendees on average per studio. • $10,000 + was generated through sales for artists (assume a 2 times multiplier for economic spin-off within community). • Several positive comments provided by both artists and participants. The completed survey results from al/ twelve respondents have been attached to this report for your information.

The OED approved budget for this year includes money earmarked to support local activities suchasthe BWG Studio Tour and Farmers Market.

Since it was the first time I think next year will prove to be easier, a few commitees, to share the workload, a shorter "meet the artists" if it could be arranged for the artists to Tue, Nov 8. see the other studios that would be very nice too, it would also be interesting to see 24, 2009 how the other artists made out in sales and if any interest from the public , in sales 8:14 AM Find... commissions etc. resulted

REPORT OF THE CLERKS DEPARTMENT

REPORT#: ADM-2010-007

DATE: March 2, 2010

TO: Chairman Roughley and Members of Committee of the Whole

SUBJECT: Controlled Substances including Marijuana Grow Operations Notification and Inspection Response Protocol and Policy

SUBMITTED BY: Patricia Nash, Municipal Clerk

1. RECOMMENDATIONS:

That report ADM-201 0-007 of the Municipal Clerk dated March 2, 2010 entitled "Controlled Substances including Marijuana Grow Operations Notification and Inspection Response Protocol and Policy" be received;

2. PREAMBLE:

The purpose of this report is to present Council with the Controlled Substances Notification and Inspection Response Protocol and policy. Also, attached is a draft by-law which includes a schedule for fees and charges and recovery ofenforcement costs incurred by Town Departments in respect to properties which have been identified as having contained a clandestine lab or marijuana grow operation.

This report has been prepared in consultation with the South Simcoe Police Service, Planning and Development Services, Fire and Emergency Services, Office ofthe Fire Marshal, and the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit. Comments received supporte~ the implementation of a formal written policy, protocol and by-law.

3. BASIC DATA PERTAINING TO THE MATTER:

3.1 Background

What is a clandestine lab? A clandestine lab is defined as "an illicit operation consisting of a combination of apparatus and chemicals used in the production of controlled substances, commonly referred to as grow operations". A clandestine lab can be a marijuana grow operation, methamphetamine lab or any operation to produce illegal substances for the purposes of making money or producing drugs for personal use. 201O-Apr-06 cow! Report ADM-2010-007, Report of the Municipal Clerk Controlled Substances including Marijuana Grow Operations March 2, 2010 Page 2______

Clandestine labs may include: • synthesis labs which produce methamphetamine or ecstasy by way of a chemical reaction • conversion lab: cocaine to crack • milling and tableting labs: ecstasy powder to pill form • . box labs: chemical used to produce controlled substances stored in a self storage • rolling labs: vehicles • multiple process labs: combination of any of the above • marijuana grow ops: marijuana soil or hydroponics • extraction labs: marijuana to hashish oil • cold labs which include abandoned or not in operation labs.

Clandestine labs and grow operations pose an increasing danger and serious threat to the safety, health and security of the general public, first responders, inspectors, investigators and contractors. Responders are faced with dangers which include serious health hazards, fire and explosion, electrocution, entrapment and entanglements. Other examples of dangers are weakened structures, toxic and explosive gases, toxic chemicals, biological toxic hazards and hidden traps. The operations can lead to economic and social impacts, such as: • theft of power and water power supply • mortgage and insurance fraud • artificially inflated property values • increased cost of law enforcement, judiciary and corrections. • drug endangered children • stigmatized communities • increased levels of crime and violence, and • treatment to address illicit drug addictions.

3.2 Legislative Framework for Responding to Grow Operations

The Law Enforcement and Forfeited Property Management Statute Law Amendment Act, 2005 (referred to as Bill 128) amended various Acts with respect to enforcement powers, penalties and the forfeiture of property with respect to organized crime, marijuana grow operations and other unlawful activities. Several amendments were made to the Building Code Act, Electricity Act, Crown Attorney's Act, Fire Protection and Prevention Act, and the Municipal Act to implement significant increases in the penalties for contraventions.

The Municipal Act, 2001, requires municipalities to conduct inspections of buildings containing grow operations and permits the power of entry. Inspectors must be able to conduct their inspections safely. In order to make the building safe, the inspector shall take the necessary actions in order to make the building safe and protect the public.

The Building Code Act, Section 15.1, provides the legal authority for municipalities to pass a property standards by-law and conduct inspections. Property standards officers may enter the property in order to determine whether the property conforms to the standards prescribed in the by-law and may issue an order requiring repairs be made. The order must be served on the property owners. As well, a copy of the order may be posted on the property. Report ADM-2010-007, Report of the Municipal Clerk Controlled Substances including Marijuana Grow Operations March 2, 2010 Page 3, ______

Building inspectors may inspect the building for the purpose of determining whether the building is unsafe, whether structurally inadequate or hazardous. If a building is found to be unsafe, the inspector may make an order requesting the remedial steps necessary to render the building safe. An order must be served on the owner and other people apparently in possession of the building and affected persons as the Chief Building Official determines. Also, a copy ofthe order may be posted on the property. The Town would have a priority lien on the property for the amount spent on the renovation, repair, demolition or other action where the Chief Building Official considers it necessary for the protection of the public.

3.3 Actions Required by the Town

In order for the South Simcoe Police Service, various Town departments and other agencies to provide effective and coordinated response when dealing with premises that have operated as grow operations the Controlled Substances Notification and Inspection Response Protocol and policy has been prepared. In general, the policy establishes an innovative, integrated, community-based problem-solving approach for: • public safety • recovery of costs • remediation • reduced exposure to liability.

3.4 Training Requirements

Proper procedures must be followed and personal protective equipment must be worn before entering a clandestine lab operation. Officials entering a clandestine lab must be trained and have proper personal protection equipment (PPE). Staff dealing with the inspections require training in order to be able to: • recognize the activities and magnitude of clandestine lab operations • know the health and safety legislation • identify the hazards in the workplace • understand the conditions/hazards found in grow operation facilities • identify the safety and other legislations relating to entering such premises • recognize the physical and chemical hazards associated with lab operations • recognize the biological and client based hazards of persons associated with Clandestine lab operations • work in compliance with the legislation • ensure that workers follow safety procedures required by the Town • provide information, instruction and supervision to employees • acquaint a worker with a hazard in the workplace including any physical, biological or chemical agents • ensure that measures and procedures as prescribed are carried out in the workplace • identify the required levels of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).

Training sessions are available through the Ontario Building Officials Association and various professional associations. The training sessions will be incorporated into the Professional Development outline for staff. Staff must be aware of the protocol, responsibilities and best practices to effectively deal with the situation.

If necessary, the Office of the Fire Marshal will aid in meeting the inspection, investigation, enforcement and remediation challenges of clandestine lab operations.

3.5 Next Steps

The two next steps are necessary:

1. That Council adopt the Controlled Substances Notification, Inspection Response Protocol Policy and by law. The proposed by-law would establish fees for the recovery of costs related to the deployment and enforcement of the policy. Report ADM-2010-007, Report of the Municipal Clerk Controlled Substances including Marijuana Grow Operations March 2, 2010 Page 4______

2. An aggressive public awareness and education campaign is recommended. Through education and awareness materials, the general public would be presented with triggers to watch for within their neighbourhood that would prompt them to contact the South Simcoe Police Services for investigation. Stakeholder involvement in informal surveillance activities can assist responders greatly. Potential groups to partner with include provincial and federal agencies, neighbourhood watch associations, local and upper tier municipal government, family and children services, landlords associations, real estate boards and associations, home appraisers and inspectors, banks and mortgage holders, title and mortgage insurers, utilities, environmental response companies and contractors.

Remediation models outlining the protocol and procedures are expected to be introduced by the Office of the Fire Marshal in Fall 2010.

4. EFFECT ON TOWN FINANCES:

4.1 CURRENT YEAR:

Costs related to training, personal protective equipment (PPE), inspections and investigation work will be required. The draft by-law includes a cost recovery schedule for various administrative activities which will offset the costs incurred.

4.2 FUTURE YEARS:

The minimum costs to the Town per grow operation premise could be estimated at approximately $1,500.00 - $8,000.00 per property depending on circumstances. The draft by-law includes a cost recovery schedule for various administrative, enforcement, inspection and remediation activities.

1. POLICY

1.1 The Controlled Substance Notification and Inspection Response Policy is to set out a protocol leading to the effective remediation of threats to health and safety arising from the establishment of marijuana grow operations or clandestine drug laboratories in buildings.

2. PURPOSE

2.1 Controlled Substance operations, including marijuana grow operations, clandestine drug laboratory, pose a serious threat to both the general public and emergency responders including the Police, Fire and Emergency Services for health, safety and security. The detection, investigation, dismantling, and return of properties to legitimate uses is a complex undertaking requiring the cooperation of many different agencies, including fire, police and municipal officials.

2.2 Most chemicals in a clandestine drug lab are highly toxic, corrosive, explosive and flammable.

2.3 A co-ordinated approach to notification, investigation and remedial actions will help ensure that the entire process is conducted in a safe, expedient and effective manner. The safety of the personnel involved in the process, and that of the public, is of paramount importance.

2.4 The purpose of this Policy is to detail a response protocol in order to assist the South Simcoe Police Service and the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury to provide an effective and co ordinated response when dealing with premises that have been identified as having a controlled substance operation. This response will help to ensure that once a property has been identified the necessary steps are taken to have the property, including any buildings, made safe for the public. It will ensure that Town representatives have met the legislated responsibilities and due diligence. The protocol provides detail for notification to others; authorization for orders and notice, development of municipal orders and registry, and remediation actions.

REPORT OF THE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION

REPORT#: ENF-2010-03

DATE: March 17, 2010

TO: Chairman Roughley and Members of Committee of the Whole

SUBJECT: Enforcement Division Parking Exemption Report

SUBMITTED BY: Sharon Antonucci, Senior Enforcement Officer, M.L.E.O.(C), C.P.S.O.

1. RECOMMENDATIONS:

That report ENF-2010-03 entitled "Enforcement Division, Parking Exemption Report" dated March 17,2010 be received; and that Council do not endorse a Parking Exemption Programme at this time.

2. PREAMBLE:

This report is prepared in response to Resolution No. 2010117-007, whereby staff was directed to investigate and report on the implementation of a parking exemption programme, with respect to Section 6.2(e) of the Traffic Regulation By-law that currently prohibits parking on any street between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 am. From November 1st to May 1st.

3. BASIC DATA PERTAINING TO THE MATTER:

Attached as Schedule "A", is a table which shows overnight and or winter parking restrictions within neighbouring municipalities and whether they offer parking exemptions.

You will note that out of the neighbouring municipalities, only two Towns offer parking exemptions. Vaughan restricts overnight parking throughout the entire year and issues year round parking exemption permits for placement on the dashboard of the subject vehicle. Newmarket has a year round three hour parking limit, resulting in an overnight parking restriction. They do allow for parking exemptions during the good weather. However, no exemptions are issued during the winter months. - 2 -

In compiling this report, I contacted representatives from South Simcoe Police Service and the Engineering Department for input relating to consideration of implementing a system for parking exemptions within our Municipality. Their comments, along with considerations from the Enforcement division are detailed below:

1. Overnight parking enforcement within Bradford West Gwillimbury is conducted by both the Enforcement Division and South Simcoe Police. Communication between these two agencies relating to the issuance of parking exemptions would be challenging as we work out of two locations, with the enforcement office open for shorter hours of operation. In addition, the enforcement division issues tickets but does not presently control administrative procedures surrounding parking enforcement. Furthermore, it is not appropriate for one enforcement officer/agency to tell the other whether or not to lay a charge. Discretion has to rest strictly with the officer at the side of the roadway. This is a fundamental principal of law enforcement.

2. As we are unable to accurately predict inclement weather, the prior issuance of parking exemption permits is problematic when snow ploughing is unexpectedly required. It is questionable whether the issuance of a ticket and possible towing of vehicles would be upheld in a court of law, if a prior parking exemption had been issued.

3. Consideration should also be given to liability issues. (ie) a collision between a moving vehicle and a vehicle parked in contravention of the by-law and/or damage to a parked vehicle by road maintenance equipment. The question being, whether in a civil court process, a portion of the blame may be placed on the enforcement agency if it was proven that they neglected to enforce the by-law for whatever reason.

4. The Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury presently provides the option of overnight parking within their municipal lots. We are one of the few municipalities that do not have 3 hour parking restrictions throughout the entire year.

5. With respect to the explanation that a person must park on the roadway overnight because they have had too much to drink, people must plan ahead for that eventuality (ie) take a cab, deSignated driver. Another option becoming more popular lately is contacting a company that provides a pick-up service. These companies were started in response to family and friends being injured by drunk drivers. They provide a service whereby two of their drivers are dispatched to a residence, bar, party or corporate function in their company vehicle. The one employee drives the person home in their own vehicle, while the second driver follows in the company vehicle and picks up the first driver when the customer and their vehicle are safely delivered home. I have confirmed the operation of this type of company within our municipality,

6. The Provincial Offences Act provides owners/operators with the option to plead guilty with an explanation. If a person has a valid reason for parking on a street overnight, they can provide their justification to a Justice of the Peace, who may reduce or waive the fine or withdraw the charge altogether. - 3 -

In light of the aforementioned items, it is the combined position of South Simcoe Police Service, Engineering and Enforcement that the implementation of a parking exemption programme within our municipality is not appropriate.

The expense and effort required to design, administer and monitor such a programme would far outweigh any benefits at this time. Our winter overnight parking restrictions are consistent with neighbouring municipalities. In addition, we routinely advertise these restrictions in our local paper, on our Town web site and on signs installed at the entrances to our municipality. If a property owner is planning a party or having overnight guests, it is their responsibility to plan accordingly for parking solutions. (ie) parking in a municipal lot, arranging for parking in a neighbour's driveway, travelling by cab, assigning a designated driver, carpooling, contacting companies that provide a pick-up of car and driver service.

Care Connections - Partnering for Healthy Communities North Simcoe Muskoka LHIN Launches Local Health System / Information Technology Project Date: March 31, 2010 NSM2010-03-31

COLLINGWOOD, ON - We're off and runningl Today, with videoconference launch sites in the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network's (LHIN) five geographic regions, the LHIN formally kicked off the long-awaited Care Connections project. Care Connections is made up of two components - the future health system design for North Simcoe Muskoka and the information and communications technology that will assist in making this design a reality.

North Simcoe Muskoka The LHIN has heard repeatedly that residents of North Simcoe Muskoka are unsure of where they Care Connections can access a particular health care service or resource. The North Simcoe Muskoka LHIN Partnering for Healthy Communities wants to create a better health care system, one that sees the health of our local residents improve, ensures individuals receive care in the most appropriate place in a timely manner and takes into account financial uncertainties the province, region and individuals face going forward.

Through the LHIN Leadership Council, comprised of senior staff members from all health care sectors across North Simcoe Muskoka (hospitals, mental health, long-term care, public health, primary care, community support, municipalities, chiefs of staff), as well as representatives from our Aboriginal and francophone populations, the LHIN will design a health system covering all aspects of an individual's life journey from well ness to illness to rehabilitative to supportive care.

Improved health care and health status of our population affects all of us at some point in our lives, whether you provide the service or receive it. The overall objective is better health, better care, and better value. By implementing a comprehensive plan, we help achieve sustainability for our health care system for current and future generations.

In early April, LHIN staff will begin a comprehensive community engagement exercise - holding focus groups, symposiums, education sessions, webinars and other events asking health service providers and residents to relay their experiences with the current system and contribute to discussions on how we can improve it.

QUOTES "After setting the stage over the past few years, the LHIN and our health service providers are ready to define the direction for health services in North Simcoe Muskoka", stated Ruben Rosen; NSM LHIN Board Chair. "In the course of our journey, we look forward to engaging members of the North Simcoe Muskoka community in this significant initiative which will result in improved and sustainable health care for all." "In order to meet the needs of the communities served by our hospital, collaborative work with all our health care partners is required to develop an integrated and coordinated system of care", stated Robert Morton, Chair, Georgian Bay General Hospital. liThe new design, along with information technology platforms, will be the tools to develop an integrated health care system that all consumers need. II

liThe work that has been done to develop a LHIN-wide program for Complex Continuing Care is an

excellent example of how we can re-design our services to better meet the needs of our patients II , commented Dr. Donald Atkinson, Chief of Staff, Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital.

liThe best way to predict the future is to invent it. Care Connections will take us one step closer to achieving this important goal, II notes Bernie Blais, NSM LHIN Chief Executive Officer.

QUICK FACTS • 20 years ago, 32 cents of every dollar spent on government programs was spent on health care. Today, it is 46 cents. In twelve years, it could be 70 cents. • The North Simcoe Muskoka LHIN oversees approximately $700 million of health services in our health region. • As one of 14 LHINs across Ontario, the North Simcoe Muskoka LHIN plans, integrates and funds local health services, including hospitals, community care access centres, community health centres, long-term care homes, mental health and addiction programs and a variety of community support services agencies. The LHINs oversee half of the $46 billion health care budget in Ontario.

NVCA staff comments will be forwarded to the South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Source Protection Committee, Conservation Ontario and the Ministry of the Environment.

Hon Dalton McGuinty Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Room 281, Queen's Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A1

Dear Mr. Premier:

Re: Funding for the Children's Aid Society of the County of Simcoe

On behalf of the Child, Youth and Family Services Coalition of Simcoe County, I am writing to thank you and Minister Laurel Broten of Child and Youth Services for the emergency funding forwarded to the Children's Aid Society of the County of Simcoe. The forty community organizations that make up the Coalition were immensely relieved to hear the news that this key community organization would be able-·atleast in the immediate term-to continue playing its crucial role in the lives of children in this County.

But beyond the immediate time period, our members have ongoing grave concerns about the funding stability of the Children's Aid Society of the County of Simcoe. Our particular Children's Aid Society of the County of Simcoe has played a vital role in helping to develop and deliver cost effective, collaborative solutions to improve the lives of kids and their families in our area. Child protection is an essential segment of what the Coalition sees as an increasingly integrated and inter-dependent service system. Financial insecurity in the Children's Aid Society of the County of Simcoe has significant ripple effects through all our organizations as we share many of the same young clients who have multiple needs. These needs require a coordinated response from schools, health care, mental health care, recreation, and groups meeting basic needs such as shelter and food. We urge you and Minister Broten to seek solutions to what appear to be funding inequities in the system. We are happy to see that a commission has been created to investigate the funding arrangement for Children's Aid Societies across Ontario. We encourage you to consider the vital role Children's Aid Society of the County of Simcoe plays in this area and others as you determine your future course of action.

5 Preamble: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child affirms that all levels of government have a duty to help families fulfil their responsibilities and protect the rights of children. Furthermore, The United Nations Dec/aration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples affirms the distinctive rights and needs of indigenous peoples with particular attention to the rights and special needs of indigenous elders, women, youth and children. Simcoe County Children and Youth Charter March 26, 2009 All children and youth have fundamental rights and freedoms. They deserve respect and support to realize their rights and full potential. Because children and youth are the future of our community, it is in our interest to ensure that they all have the opportunity to grow into healthy, independent and contributing members of our society. Everyone in the community has a role to play in their growth and development. We have a joint responsibility to ensure that children and youth are protected and safe from exploitation and neglect. Children and youth must have access to a fair share of our community's resources.

The Simcoe County Coalition of Child, Youth and Family Services invites government and all sectors of our community to join in ensuring all children and youth enjoy life-long good health and well being through the provision of: ./ Nutritious food and safe water ./ A safe, affordable and comfortable place to live ./ Protection from neglect, abuse, violence and exploitation ./ A diverse and inclusive community ./ Respect and attention for the voices of children and youth ./ Love and support from caring adults in their community ./ The opportunity to learn and exercise the beliefs of their family's culture, including language, traditions and religion/spirituality ./ Access to quality, inclusive child care and/or early education programs ./ Safe places to play in their community ./ Access to affordable, inclusive recreational activities ./ Quality, inclusive, universal education system ./ Governments that recognize the importance of children's needs ./ Access to quality health care, mental health treatment, social programs and services that are timely, safe and effective ./ Services that are delivered in the context of their family, culture, community and school. These rights apply to all children and youth without discrimination due to race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age, record of offences, marital status, family status or ability.

Dear His Worship Mayor Doug White:

As Canadians, we are fortunate to have many literacy champions. Somewhere near the top of that list are those enthusiastic adult learners striving to engage and improve their literacy skills, along with the educators who help them to learn ..

Through literacy, a person's world is transformed for the better: it opens the door to increased knowledge and insight, improved critical thinking skills, and an ability to communicate with greater efficacy. While the world around that person doesn't change, his or her ability to change the world improves dramatically.

Please help us to acknowledge deserving efforts by nominating an individual and/or educator fromyoureommunity for a 2010 Canada Post Community i.iteracy Award. The Literacy Awards are Canada's only national awards dedicated to celebrating the achievements of adult learners, along with those who have helped them learn to read and write.

Everything you need to make a nomination is in the enclosed booklet, including category descriptions, submission criteria and a nomination fOrm. Visit our website at www.canadapost.ca/literacyawards to learn more about the awards, view samples of past submissions and sign up for our free Literacy Awards email news service.

Celebrate literacy in your community - make a nomination to the Canada Post Community Literacy Awards before May 21, 2010!
