  • Land Ambulance Service Delivery Options
    TO: Chair and Members Corporate and Emergency Services Committee FROM: Terri Burton Director, Emergency Services DATE: February 18, 2015 SUBJECT: Land Ambulance Service Delivery Options REPORT NO: CES-4-2015-5 RECOMMENDATION None. For information only. ORIGIN The Province of Ontario, Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, transferred responsibility for land ambulance delivery to upper-tier municipalities (UTMs) (and service boards where no upper-tier exists), effective January 1, 2001. The District of Muskoka (District) contracted the delivery of ambulance services through a Request for Proposal process in 1999 and again in 2008. The District’s current contract with Medavie EMS Ontario is scheduled to expire December 31, 2015. BACKGROUND The Emergency Health Services Branch (EHSB) of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care oversees air and land ambulance services in Ontario, as well as, ambulance communication centres that are responsible for dispatching those services. EHSB manages and regulates land ambulance services provided by upper-tier municipalities and District Social Services Administration Boards by establishing standards for the management, operation and use of ambulance services and ensuring compliance to those standards. The Ambulance Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. A.19, as amended by the Services Improvement Act, 1997, sets out the legislative framework for the funding and delivery of land ambulance services under Municipal jurisdiction. The District provides 24 hours per day, 7 days per week land ambulance service delivery throughout Muskoka and neighbouring communities when requested. The District and its contractor are collectively responsible for: Administration and records management; Page 1 Recruitment, hiring, training and review of staff performance; Scheduling work rosters; Productivity and quality regulations assurance; Liaison with related agencies and levels of government; Fleet and facilities maintenance; Budget preparation; and Policy and procedure development and implementation.

K0J 1K0 Executive Summary Rural Ontario has experienced enormous change in the last fifty years. While the rural population has become predominantly non-farm based, the structure of the rural economy has experienced a major transformation with service sector jobs now exceeding the number of jobs in agriculture. Other indicators such as declining farm numbers and farm jobs seems to confirm the view held by some that agriculture is a fading industry. However, a closer look at the Agriculture sector shows that it remains an important engine of economic growth in Ontario. Between 1985 and 1995, farm gate sales in Ontario experienced an average annual increase of 3.5%, rising from $5,511 million to $7,778 million. Projected farm gate sales of $8,840 million for 1999 suggest that agriculture is continuing on its course of growth.

  • Searching for Greens at the Time of Peter Robinson
    Searching for Greens at the Time of Peter Robinson By Alison Hare, CG Language that appears precise and transparent can actually mask meaning. Unlocking the truth in perplexing documents requires scrupulous attention to the full range of genealogical standards. wo references to a son, two distinct clues to his identity. John Green's petition for land in Upper Canada's Huntley Township was bursting with genealogical promise. Clearly worded and legibly penned, it plantedT a figurative finger firmly on the map, marking the spot where the son would be found. Auguring equally well foran open-and-shut identification, the petition disclosed that John's son had immigrated to Canada with a well-known and well-documented group of settlers. The petition's failure to mention the son's name seemed a minor inconvenience. Thus begins a memorable lesson about how historical documents can mislead and baffle researchers, especially when they fail to probe deeply. THE PROBLEM The scene is set "at the time" of the Peter Robinson settlers. 1 Brought to Canada fromCounty Cork, Ireland, in 1823, these571 men, women, and children have been known ever since by the name of the official who supervised their relocation. Acting for the British government, the Honorable Peter Robinson 2 arranged free passage, provisions, and land for the settlers. The liberally funded program offered escape from poverty, famine, and civil disturbances in Ireland. Though he wanted to, John Green was unable to accompany the group. "His son," however, came out "at that time" to Canada. John later immigrated on his own and on 9 July 1836 petitioned to purchase one hundred acres ofland in Huntley Township, a property of interest to him because it lay "in the immediate vicinity of his sons location."3 What was the son's name? © Alison Hare, co; 80 Valley Ridge Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K2E 7W4; [email protected].

    OTTAWA RIVER COMMUNITY HERITAGE 227 5.6 The History of the Upper Canada Side of the Ottawa River Between Shirley’s Bay to the East and the Madawaska River to the West Bob Sherrif This section outlines local history by township, including the March, Torbolton and Fitzroy Townships. March Township This township was named after the Earl of March, son of the ill‐fated Duke of Richmond. The end of the War of 1812 found many military men more or less at loose ends here in Canada. Whitehall found it more expedient to encourage the Officers to remain here in Canada by offering land grants upon which they could retire and, at the same time, further the settlement of this new land. There were already many military men settled in and around Perth and Richmond, so Sir John Colborne promoted the settlement in what became March Township. The first person to settle here was Captain John Benning Monk, late of the 97th Regiment, and a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars. Captain Monk was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia. His beautiful stone residence situated on the Ottawa shore was called “Beechmont”. The second settler on the March township shoreline was Hamnet Kirkes Pinhey, born in Plymouth, England, in 1784. He became a wealthy businessman in England with his own ships trading on the European continent. These connections made him an excellent candidate to become an agent for the British Government. He served as a blockade runner and, due to his proficiency in both French and German, he was able to move about and carry dispatches to England’s Prussian allies.
