  • Fire Master Plan Update 2013
    Township of Selwyn Fire Master Plan Update 2013 Background In the province of Ontario, municipalities must abide by the Fire Protection and Prevention Act (FPPA) which states that every municipality shall: 1. establish a program in the municipality which must include public education with respect to fire safety and certain components of fire prevention; and 2. provide such other fire protection services as it determines may be necessary in accordance with its needs and circumstances. In accordance with this legislation, Bylaw 2010-072 establishes the Township of Selwyn Fire Department and provides for its structure, duties, responsibilities and levels of services. A copy of this Bylaw is attached as Appendix “A”. A Fire Master Plan is a comprehensive document that complements the Establishing Bylaw and sets out priorities for fire protection services that consider legislated requirements, local needs and circumstances, and the financial resources of municipality. The process reviews all aspects of the Department’s operation and identifies options and opportunities for developing and delivering the services through the most efficient and effective use of available resources. The Township of Selwyn adopted its first Fire Master Plan on February 12, 2008. The Plan included recommendations and key priorities that were intended to provide direction to the Fire Department with respect to policy, operational and capital decisions over a five-year period. In 2011 the Township began the process to review the status of the existing Fire Master Plan

  • Update on COVID-19 Projections
    Update on COVID-19 Projections Science Advisory and Modelling Consensus Tables January 12, 2021 Key Findings • Growth in cases has accelerated and is over 7% on the worst days. • Almost 40% of long-term care homes have active COVID-19 outbreaks. Since January 1st 198 LTC residents and 2 LTC staff have died of COVID-19. Forecasts suggest more deaths in wave 2 in long- term care than in wave 1. • COVID-19 ICU occupancy is now over 400 beds. Surgeries are being cancelled and the access to care deficit will continue to increase with real consequences for health. • Mobility, and contacts between people have not decreased with the current restrictions. Survey data show that the majority of Ontarians are helping limit spread by following them. However, case numbers will not decline until more of the population follows their example. • A new variant of concern of SARS-CoV-2 (B117) could drive much higher case counts, ICU occupancy and mortality if community transmission occurs. The doubling time for cases could drop by more than 2/3. This new variant is now in Ontario. • Without significant reductions in contacts, the health system will be overwhelmed and mortality will exceed the first wave totals before a vaccine has time to take effect. 2 Total new cases per 100,000 residents per week across PHUs Sept 17 Sept 25 Oct 16 Nov 7 Nov 23 Dec 14 Dec 26 In-person Restrictions Modified COVID-19 RESPONSE Toronto and Peel York and Province-wide classes for on bars and Stage 2 FRAMEWORK enter 28-day Windsor- lockdown all major restaurants begins in Durham, Halton, Eastern lockdown Essex enter 14 days N.

  • Development of the Interrai Brief Mental Health Screener to Enhance the Ability of Police Officers to Identify Persons with Se
    Development of the interRAI Brief Mental Health Screener to Enhance the Ability of Police Officers to Identify Persons with Serious Mental Disorder by Ronald E. Hoffman A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Health Studies and Gerontology Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Ronald E. Hoffman 2013 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii ABSTRACT Background: Police officers are often the first to respond when persons experience a mental health crisis in the community. They must de-escalate volatile situations involving persons with serious mental disorder (PSMD) and bring the person to the attention of either the criminal justice or mental health care system. It is argued that issues such as repeated police contact, excessive emergency department (ED) wait times, and the criminalization of the mentally ill are evidence that the current system lacks the ability to meet the needs of PSMD. Critics have argued the source of the problem is inadequate police training, and insufficient and poorly organized community mental health services. Others claim that the underlying issue is that the current system for responding to PSMD is dysfunctional. The model is based on the concept that the best way to meet the needs of PSMD is through the integration of systems and services which to date, has remained an impossible goal.

  • 2010 Saw the Last Train on the Brockvile to Carleton Place Railway
    Clipping from an old Newspaper Article submitted by Leona Kidd Canada’s first great railway building decade came in the 1850’s construction of a railway to connect Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place, Almonte and intervening points to the Grand Truck Railway at Brockville was begun in 1853 and completed in 1859. The Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company’s charter of 1853 authorized building of a line from Brockville “to some point on the Ottawa River”, and a branch line from Smiths Falls to Perth. By August the company was reported to have let a first contract to James Sykes and Company of Sheffield for building and equipping the line as far as Pembroke at a cost of £930,000, and to have received subscriptions for about a third of this amount, in shares of £5 each. The County Council of Lanark and Renfrew in January, 1854, was notified that its bylaw to loan up to £200,000 to the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company had been approved by the provincial government. Sub-contractors were at work in the spring of 1854 at points between Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth and Brockville. Reverses which delayed the project culminated in the North American financial crash of 1857, when Messrs. Dale and Ellerman and Sir Charles Fox soon appeared before Lanark and Renfrew’s County Council seeking renewed municipal financial aid. Further contracts for continuing construction finally were arranged before the end of the year. In a premature and unpromising official opening of the southern section of the line early in 1859, a wood-burning locomotive with two coaches filled with passengers had left Brockville on a bitterly cold midwinter day.
