Dowdeswell, President, Nuclear Waste Management Organization, advising that Regional Council on September 7,2005, approved the following resolution: "a) THAT the following recommendations, comments and contents of Report #2005-P-62 of the Commissioner of Planning be forwarded to the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO), as Durham Region's response to the draft Discussion Document entitled 'Choosing a Way Forward - The Future Management of Canada's Used Nuclear Fuel': i) The long-term management approach - Adaptive Phased Management (APM) - presented by NWMO provides a reasonable solution for Canada's nuclear fuel waste, however the details of actual implementation remain a concem; Council Meeting Minutes -5- September 26, 2005 COMMUNICATIONS Ii) The Adaptive Phased Management (APM) approach addresses many of the concerns that were previously expressed by the Region. Most importantly, the need to remove nuclear waste from existing reactor sites away from large and growing urban centres and the Lake Ontario drinking water supply, is recognized by the proposed APM approach. Nevertheless, the potential for the nuclear waste to remain at Durham's existing reactor sites as the permanent solution however, is still a concem. NWMO must restructure the APM approach to ensure there are firm timelines for decision-making, based on specific options; iii) If a willing host community if found, the community and, communities along transportation routes. need to be provided certainty of the nature, type and timing of facilities that will be constructed. The proposed APM approach does not provide specific time lines for making the decision of whether or not to construct an interim storage facility; iv) Should the Federal government approve the APM approach, it should concurrently approve the concept of a centralized shallow interim storage facility. This will significantly reduce the community impacts, added risks, and costs associated with improved security, repackaging used nuclear fuel, and refurbishing existing reactor facil ities; v) The NWMO must strongly urge the Federal government to make a decision on the long-term management approach for Canada's nuclear waste as expeditiously as possible, so that the burden of deciding how and where to manage nuclear waste is not passed onto future generations. The decisions of the Federal government will form a fundamental component of broader energy policy decisions that will be facing Provincial and Federal governments in the next decade; Council Meeting Minutes -6- September 26, 2005 COMMUNICATIONS vi) The Province of Ontario has to make future energy supply decisions in the very near future, which may include the need to construct or expand nuclear capacity. As such, NWMO must emphasize the urgency to the Federal government to make a decision on Canada's long-term management approach for nuclear waste, before any more decisions are made to construct new or expand nuclear power plants; vii) The transportation of nuclear waste to a centralized site will be a significant issue, affecting current nuclear host communities, adjacent communities and communities along the transportation routes. Therefore, it is critical that NWMO include in its final Discussion Document the need to prepare a transportation plan (which should include defined modes, routes, community impacts, security/safety measures and associated risks, etc.), as an integral component of its future siting process and public consultation program; viii) The proposed APM approach includes monitoring the nuclear waste while it is in the central interim storage facility and the deep repository. The NWMO should indicate what actions might be taken if the monitoring results are not technically favourable, or unacceptable to stakeholder groups and affected communities; ix) Should the Federal government approve the APM approach as presented in the draft Discussion Document, it is requested that, as a safeguard, more stringent monitoring practices be implemented at existing reactor facilities, especially as they age; xi) Existing nuclear host communities will continue to be impacted by any long-term management approach for nuclear fuel waste for many decades. Accordingly, the NWMO must include in the final Discussion Document, a, new section which clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the owners/producers of nuclear waste versus NWMO that is consistent with the Nuclear Fuel Waste Act and the principle of 'polluter pays'. This is needed to address the full impacts on nuclear host communities in implementing the APM approach. In this regard, NWMO should consider the time lines for the decommissioning of reactor plants as a factor; Council Meeting Minutes .7- September 26, 2005 COMMUNICATIONS xii) The issue of compensation, financial or otherwise, for current nuclear host communities and communities in close proximity to reactor sites is not included in the draft Discussion Document. NWMO's recommendation will potentially require the storage of nuclear waste at existing reactor sites for an extended period of time beyond what was originally thought. Accordingly, NWMO should address compensation, based on potential impacts and risks in implementing the recommended approach, including costs associated with emergency preparedness, security measures, municipal infrastructure (roads, water, sewer etc.) and community impacts; and xiii) Whether used nuclear waste remains on site in Durham Region in the interim, or is transported to 8 centralized site outside of Durham, the Region should continue to have an ongoing, long-term role in future decisions regarding the nuclear waste management strategy. This would allow the Region to preserve opportunities for additional financial compensation in the event the nuclear waste management approach is modified; b) THAT the Federal Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable R. John Efford, be requested to expedite a decision on Canada's long-term management approach for used nude8r fuel waste; c) THAT the peer review comments on NWMO's draft Discussion Document, prepared by Acres-Sargent & Lundy (on behalf of the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities) and Robert Gadsby (on behalf of the Town of Ajax), be endorsed; and d) THAT a copy of Report #2005-P-62 of the Commissioner of Planning be forwarded to the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, the area municipalities, the Federal Minister of Natural Resources, Durham's MPs and MPPs, and the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities."

John O'Toole, MPP, Durham, writing to the Honourable Laurel Broten, Minister of the Environment, advising that the following resolution was adopted by the Region of Durham's Council on June 15, 2005: "a) THAT the Minister of the Environment be requested to develop an environmentally friendly but cost effective means of disposing abandoned tires, including modifying the current EA Regulations to permit cement plant facilities to allow the use of unwanted tires as an altemate fuel source as: i) unwanted tires can be an environmental hazard, as well as ' a health hazard for such things as providing breeding grounds for the West Nile Virus; ii) farm properties often become a refuge for a large number of abandoned tires; Council Meeting Minutes -9- September 26, 2005 COMMUNICATIONS Hi) tires are not permitted in landfill sites; iv) it is legal to bum tires under controlled conditions in places outside of Ontario, for example in cement plant kilns; v) the steel in tires eliminates the need to use a steel additive in the making of cement; and vi) it has been proven, on a trail basis at Sl. Mary's Cement, that tires are a cleaner burning fuel than coal, which is typically burned, and provides energy at a consistent level in the cement facilities; and b) THAT this resolution be circulated to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA), Durham Federation of Agriculture, The Christian Farms Federation of Ontario, the National Farmers Union of Ontario, the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), and all local MPP's for support."

(Motion to refer correspondence to the Municipal Clerk to proceed with filling the vacancy and to send a letter of gratitude to Mr. Brown) Summary of Correspondence -4- October 11, 2005 D - 4 Dwight Grovum, advising that he is opposed to the Heritage Conservation District Plan. Mr. Grovum advises that Council can declare the area of Bowmanville an excellent example of Ontario's Heritage without having it designated and he is requesting Council to have registered owners vote on the designation. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services) D - 5 Aubrey and Koren Kassirer, advising Council that they feel that the increased rules and levels of bureaucracy will not help preserve the proposed heritage conservation district. They agree that sometimes people do not know how to preserve their homes the best way; perhaps suggestions for maintenance and repair and renovations could all be available as a service. There is no need for this process to be regulated more. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services) D - 6 Jack Brough and Judy (Brough) Nemis, advising that they strongly oppose to proceeding with the Heritage Conservation District Plan for the entire neighbourhood and feel that it would be more appropriate for those living in heritage homes to apply for Heritage Status on an individual basis. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services) D - 7 Clayton Morgan, advising Council that he does not believe that it is beneficial to proceed with the Heritage Conservation District Plan for two reasons: 1. The reports and recommendations refer to the subject area as a district. A district is a clearly defined area with distinct boundaries, but the report(s) fail to mention the human side of the issue. It is the people that make a district neighbourhood. 2. Such a designation will serve as the thin edge of a very big wedge. It will legitimize resident's demands for preferential treatment that will cost lots of money. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services) D - 8 David Reesor, advising Council that he does not want a Heritage Designation registered on his deed. The area is a well-maintained area without this style of policing, called Heritage Conservation District. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services) Summary of Correspondence -5- October 11, 2005 D - 9 Kathy and Don Venn, expressing concern regarding the Heritage Conservation Plan. They do not wish to go to a board for approval to make changes to their home or have to adjust their changes based on the opinion of a board. They appreciate the vision of some people to promote what is special about Bowmanville, but they want to make it clear that they are not interested in seeking approval for changes to their home that would not be required of other residents who live outside of this area. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services) D _ 10 Laverne and William Morrison, advising Council that they are opposed to the Heritage Designation of their neighbourhood. Their family has lived in this area for 55 years and have strived to preserve their home's unique heritage based upon love and respect for their parent and for the future of their children. (Motion to refer correspondence to the Director of Planning Services) D _ 11 Jim Russell, advising Council that he must resign from the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area Management Advisory Committee.

There will be a letter from the committee to TSH and MTO requesting the study schedule. A letter from the Committee to the Region of Durham will be sent regarding heritage conservation. The concern was that some heritage homes could be lost. The next meeting has not been set yet. c) Bowmanville Community Improvement Plan Update-(Leslie Benson) The last meeting dealt with a number of road related issues. Through furiding the committee will be more involved with such things as the streets cape. King Street Parking Lot Facade The Planning Department is looking at creating a heritage look for the parking lot building fa~ade. There have been discussions about having the fayade set back approximately 10 feet so that the public can use the area in front of the structure for various furictions. The interior portion could be used for an entertainment area. Security for the fayade has been addressed CTMACMinutes 3 Mav 24. 200S and should not be a concern due to the fact that it will be an open-concept design with plenty of windows available to view the inside. Potential design options will be considered as part of a public process that is expected to commence this summer. The Engineering Department will look at all avenues to ensure it is built to best suit the area. The set back has recently been introduced to the Planning Department and there are numerous steps to take before we see its completion. The CTMAC would like to invite the Planning Department to one of their regular meetings to discuss these plans. Go Bus Stop The stop located downtown, out front of the parking lot where the fas;ade is to be located, will be part of the new fas;ade with hopes of including an area for transit related information for the public. Bump Outs Overall the response has been well received by the public stating that some merchants have put them to good use allowing a pleasant visual appearance. 3) Agenda Items for Discussion a) 40 KMlHR Speed Zones Survey of Roads without Sidewalks Bowmanville roads without sidewalks were part of a review to determine whether they would warrant a 40 KMIHR sign. It was concluded that most streets have average operating speeds of 40 KMIHR or less now and that speeding is not an issue. On these short local streets Ron Baker will continue research in order to help confirm what recommendation should be made. 40 KMlHR School Zones Signage has been posted in all Oshawa school areas at a cost of approx. $40,000. Ron Baker conducted a survey on Nash Road by S.T. Worden School recently and found that before crossing guards or children were in the area the average speed was 50.2 KMIHR. When the guards and children were present in the area the speed dropped to an average of 43 KMIHR. Later when the guards and children had left the area again the average speed rose to 49.6 KMIHR. This study was consistent with data collected in other school areas where it has been shown that traffic slows at peak times due to congestion and pedestrian activity. Speeding is not an CTMACMinntes 4 Mav 24. 200S issue during peak periods. Police have done previous monitoring in school areas and have not found that there are problems. Courtice Secondary School has had incidents involving speed because the school is situated so close to the road and allows for students to become an audience for speeding vehicles. The opposite is true for all other High Schools in the area because they are all set back on the properties. Police thought that if signs are installed at schools they should be included in all school areas. Staff felt the 40 KM/HR zone should be used as a traffic management tool and only used in areas which had a problem and where police will enforce the 40 Ian speed limit. 40 KMlHR with Flashing Lights The Region of Durham previously ran an extensive test with flashing lights and found that they were ineffective and costly to use. 40 KMIHR Zone Monitoring Constable Keith Richards commented that officers use their discretion as to areas that should be monitored on a 24-7 basis. Clarington and 40KMIHR Zones If Clarington decided to bring in these zones, each road would have to be handled on an individual basis. The members should bring their feedback to the next meeting on this topic. It was suggested that each school should be visited to see if these signs are warranted. Ron Baker will continue to monitor these areas and keep records to use when a resident enquires about the speed in these zones. Committee members should review the draft reports and bring any comments to the next meeting. All members were extremely pleased with the draft and believe that a test run should begin. b) All-Way Stop Draft Warrants, Ron Baker will continue his research and bring statistics to future meetings . . CTMAC Minutes 5 Mav 24. 2()()5 4) New Business at Direction of Chair a) Items of Interest to the Committee Speed Bump Request There has been a request from Beau Richards, a resident of Wilkins Crescent in Courtice, who would like speed bumps installed on this crescent. The committee should be dealing with these types of traffic calming issues. Ron Baker will bring statistics from his findings of this street to the next meeting. The Committee's Future Tony Cannella gave a presentation to the Committee suggesting opportunities that members might look at in terms of expanding their role within the community. Tony talked about the possibility of the Committee having its own website, linked directly to the Municipality ofClarington's website. A CTMAC website would be an excellent public education tool and might encourage residents to get involved in finding solutions to traffic issues by offering various links to educational sites. The site might also provide an opportunity for residents to send an email to Engineering Staff to advise them of their concerns and to allow them to share their suggestions. A sample web page was provided to the members as one of the items in the binders they were given. The next step will be to draft a CTMAC specific web page and present it to the Committee members for comment. A link on the Municipality's website should be input as soon as possible even if it shows that the site is under construction. The group would also like to access the second page of the Canadian Statesman as an educational tool. Elective Meeting Month-CTMAC MOVED by Clayton Morgan; seconded by Glen Wallis.

Kathryn Shaver and Pat Patton confirmed that a NWMO representative will attend the next DNHC meeting on November 18, 2005 to provide an update on the Final Study Report. 4.4 Report on the Environmental Issues Raised by Public Members: Intermediate Level Nuclear Waste, Transformer Spills and Argon 41 Emissions for Pickering A in 2004 Frank Bajurny, Manager-Environment Programs Department, provided a technical explanation of three questions raised at recent DNHC meetings. The highlights of Frank's presentation were: What is Intennediate Nuclear Waste? . Definition - all radioactive waste having a dose rate greater than or equal to 10mSVIh at 30 CIn. . Intennediate nuclear waste comes from used reactor components, resins and filters used to keep reactor systems clean. . Typical radioactive contaminants are metallic particles, metal ions and Carbon 14 in carbonate fonn. · Disposal is at the OPG Bruce Waste Facility in metal containers placed in steel lined concrete silos constructed in the ground. . In 2004, 65 cubic metres of intennediate nuclear waste was shipped to Bruce as compared to 4435 cubic metres oflow level nuclear waste. Why Argon 41 emissions were higher at Pickering A in 2004 than in 2003? · The issue of concern was that in 2004 from Pickering A the emissions of Argon 41 were 755nGy of dose compared to 272 in 2003. · The increase in emissions equated to a 10% increase in dose to the most impacted critical group. · Argon 41 is created when neutrons are absorbed by Argon 40 that makes up about 1 % of the air. · Argon 41 has a short half life of 110 minutes. · Argon 41 is fonned in the Calandria vaults in Pickering A and B units. · The Pickering A Calandria is much larger than the Calandria vault at Pickering B so Pickering A will produce larger amounts of Argon 41. · The restart of units 1 and 4 created more emissions of Argon 41from Pickering A than when the units were not operating. · The corrective measure taken to reduce the Argon 41 emissions was to fine tune the air exhaust system that has reduced emissions by 40-50%. How are transformer spills contained? . Transfonner oil spills are possible so systems have been constructed to contain the oil and water from rain and fire suppression to contain the spill to prevent contamination of the ground water and nearby surface water. · Containment systems exist at Pickering A and B and Darlington but the design of the systems are different at each nuclear facility. Frank Bajurny will continue to update the DNHC on technical issues from questions that arise in the meetings. Frank can be reached at (905) 839-6746 extension 5118 or bye-mail atfral1k.baiumvtlVopg.com for more infonnation. The overheads Frank used are attached as Appendix 2. 4.5 Health Canada's Canadian Radiation Alert/Expert System for Critical Infrastructure Monitoring System Project Update Brian Devitt reported that he has kept in contact with Health Canada officials about the Project to install a network of radiation detectors around major Canadian 5 6 nuclear facilities and in population centres near Canadian ports. Brian indicated Dr. Kurt Unger and Ed Korpach representing Health Canada will attend the next DNHC meeting on November 18, 2005 to make a presentation about the Project. Dr. Kurt Unger, of Health Canada, can be contacted at (613) 954-6675 or by e- mail at kurt ungerrCilhc-sc.gc.ca for more information on the Project. 4.6 Port Granby EA Update Sue Stickley, Communications Officer for the LLRWMO, provided an update on the Port Granby EA Project. The highlights of her presentation were: · The Draft Terms of Reference for the Port Granby Project Community Group has been completed and will be presented at an upcoming community meeting. · The LLRWMO is in the process of finalizing the Draft EA Study Report for the Port Granby Project to incorporate additional investigations requested by the Municipality of Clarington. · The Port Hope Area Initiative will undertake the fourth public attitude survey of the Port Granby community this fall.

LllI.€.-,;;:; --- __,._--:-_........ w ~ , ~) Signage As discussed at the last meeting, Gary Page has now installed bird guards on all the signs prone to bird droppings and they seem to be working. There have been several incidents of the sigrIS being removed from their frame. Gary is currently coming up with a more secure frame design for the ones which were recovered and will replace, at his cost, the sign that was stolen. 4. Project Updates Newcastle Memorial Forest The area where the forest will be located has undergone a lot of preparation throughout the Sunmler. The soil has been turned, it has been graded and weed-sprayed, and the Operations departme:nt has begun building the trails. The Liolls Club will soon begin to seed the area with a grass mix. They have already started to sell trees for planting to begin this fall. Peter has provided the Lions Club with a list of trees that are native to the Nature Area. He has also ordered the wood that will be used to create the entrance feature. Peter will look into producing a letter of understanding or a formal agreement outlining responsibilities and restrictions for both the Lions Club and the Municipality. Garbage Cans Students from Bowmanville High School have painted 2 garbage cans, which have now been installed in the Nature Area. One is located at the Cobbledick Road parking lot, and the other is at the Toronto Street parking lot. The students also painted one can for the Valleys 2000 and three for the beaches area. Gazebo The gazebo to be installed at the top of the bluff will be ordered this fall. Details on its size and building materials have yet to be finalized. The Committee discussed the potential for vandalism and would like to investigate using a more vandal-resistant material such as metal or recycled plastic. The extra costs and benefits of this will be considered, although our existing budget may not permit the construction of an all metal gazebo. Viewing Platform Vandalism The viewing platform nearest the lake was vandalised recently. This is also where the stolen sign was originally located. Cathrine suggested there be a section on page 2 of the Canadian Statesman outlining the cost of vandalism to taxpayers. Councillor MacArthur will suggest this to the Mayor and Council. Bridge Peter met with GRCA and MNR in July regarding the erosion at the bridge. GRCA has received the report from Aquafor Beech and will use it for the design of the bank stabilization. Greg brought a draft of the plan, which, when constructed, should be a fairly permanent solution. The funding for this project will not be available from MNR in 2005, as originally expected. Peter will ask the Director of Engineering Services if COMRIF funding would be available for such a project. 5. Sub-Committee Updates Special Events The History Tales & Birding Stroll was a successful event, with approximately two dozen people in attendance. The day included historical stories by Sher Leetooze and bird spotting led by Diana Piche. Jem1ifer will compose a thank you letter for Sher and Diana for their services, to be signed by Allan. Sher has been paid; however, Diana refused payment. Cathrine suggested the Committee make a donation to Bird Studies Canada. With this donation, the Committee will receive a one year subscription to Bird Watch Canada, which will contain information which may be useful for future event planning. MOVED by Karin Murphy, seconded by Don MacArthur THAT the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area Management Advisory Committee donate $100 to Bird Studies Canada. CARRIED Greg will look into the feasibility of conducting an Owl Prowl for an October 22 fall event. Allan will also speak to the astronomy club about this date. If a fall event is scheduled, an amlouncement will be included in the next newsletter. Communications Joe is still working on the fall edition of the newsletter. He accepted some suggestions for content topics and will try for a draft by the end of September. Cathrine will look into a couple of prospects for sponsorship. Peter will provide content on partnerships with schools, service clubs, and local corporations. 6. Other Business Member Resignation A letter of resignation was received from Jim Russell. The Clerks department will be notified and asked to advertise for a new member. Poaching Members were given a copy of an article from The Toronto Star regarding a man who was caught poaching fish in the Nature Area. The article also details his sentence and fine.

Mr. Fernandez had requested that the current taxi fee structure be reviewed in light of recent sharp increases in the price of fuel. Council directed that staff meet with representatives of the taxi industry to discuss the issue and determine if there was a need to make any adjustments. On Friday September 30, 2005 staff met with the representatives of three of the five local taxi companies, these being Blueline Taxi, Bowmanville Taxi and Deluxe Taxi. Representatives from Clarington Cabs and Cadi Cabs were unable to attend, however the owner of Clarington Cabs did contact staff to express his opposition to a mandatory increase. At the meeting Mr. Fernandez expressed concern over the rising price of fuel and its effect on the company and its drivers. He is therefore seeking an increase in the rate from $0.17 per 1/10 kilometre to $0.20 per 1/10 kilometre. Neither of the others were interested in raising their rates, however they did not oppose an increase provided it was optional. The owners also expressed concern over two other issues in the by-law. They requested that the expiry for the annual plates and licences be moved from December 31 sl to a firm and final deadline of July 1st. The companies are at their busiest in December and it is very difficult for them to take their vehicles off the road in order to arrange all the inspections and service work required to be submitted to renew their licences. The allowance for late submissions of licence materials would be removed from the by-law. Any company which does not have its completed application in to the Municipality by the end of June would lose its right to renew its current plates and would be deemed to be operating without a licence. The companies further requested that staff review the provisions regarding private agreements for school transportation. Currently an outside company is also allowed to bid on the contract. Staff will discuss this with the school boards before making a final decision on this section. The Municipal Act requires that any changes to the by-law will require a public meeting. Staff will be preparing the notices and proceeding in accordance with Municipal policy. This meeting will be held at the Monday October 17th General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting.

THAT Report EGD-35-05 be received; 2. THAT Council approve in principle to enter into an agreement with the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Club (OFSC) and District Three to formalize the use of existing snowmobile trails located on certain open and unopen road allowances in Clarington; and 3. THAT, subject to input during the Public Meeting, the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the proposed by-law to enter into the agreement with OFSC and District Three when the agreement has been prepared to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services and the Municipality's solicitor and when all conditions of the agreement have been fulfilled by the OFSC and District Three. Respectfully by, k\ Submitted by: A.S. Cannella Director of Engineering Services cJ~~ Reviewed by: Franklin Wu Chief Administrative Officer ASC~o October 5, 2005 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3AG T 905-623-3379 F 905-623-9282 Report #EGD-35-05 Page 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is the Sponsor Group to (among others) District Three which is the User Organization. Our solicitor has advised us that both are corporations. District Three has three Snowmobile Clubs: the Long Sault Ridge Runners, Port Perry and Ganaraska which have long established trails on certain roads and road allowances in Clarington. The User Organization has requested that permission to establish these trails be formalized. The OFSC supports this request, and the Municipality has agreed to entertain the request to enter into an agreement which is in the best interests of all parties. The agreement will: . Establish the location of the trails (which is consistent with those that have been used for almost forty years). . Outline the responsibilities of the User Organization to maintain the trails, install and maintain fencing and erect signage. . Outline the responsibilities of the User Organization to ensure that users comply with the Motorized Snow Vehicles Act and other applicable legislation. . Obligate the User Organization to carry $5,000,000 comprehensive general liability insurance in which the municipality is named as an additional insured. . Indemnify the Municipality against all claims, demands, costs, losses, damages, suits or other proceedings. . Clarify that the Municipality will not be liable in any manner whatsoever. The term of the agreement will be one year which will be automatically renewed unless terminated as provided for in the agreement. 2.0 PUBLIC MEETING 2.1 A Public Meeting will be conducted by Council at its October 11th Council meeting to allow for public input prior to the passing of the by-law. The Public Meeting has been advertised, and any interested party is asked to apply to be heard that evening. Report #EGD-35-05 Page 3 3.0 CONCLUSION 3.1 The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs - District Three has for many years used three defined trails which include travel on open and unopen road allowances in Clarington. In the best interest of all parties, it is appropriate that the OFSC, District Three and all the Municipality enter into an agreement formalizing the use of certain road allowances in Clarington.
