the properties that were recently recommended to be added to the Register, as follows:
x Nurses Residence: F. Langmaid met with representatives from the Lakeridge Health
group. A specific plan for the hospital expansion has not yet been completed. F.
Langmaid recommended that they complete a HIA for the Nurses residence.
x 3347 Liberty St N: a meeting is scheduled with the property owner in late February
x 143 Queen St: The issue of ownership of the Scugog St. road right of way over a
portion of the property needs to be addressed, the owners have a request into the

The process for advancing reports to Council concerning properties that the Committee
has evaluated and recommended for addition to the Register was discussed. F.
Langmaid described the process, as follows:
x After the Committee has recommended the inclusion of a property to the Register,
Planning staff contact the property owner by phone or email to give them notice of
the intention to add the property to the Register;

The purpose of any such meeting or phone call is to clarify what adding the property
to the Register means so the property owner has a good understanding before a
report is advanced for Council's consideration;
x fiis initial notification is not mandated by the Ontario Heritage Act; however, past
experience of recommending properties to the Register has shown that Clarington
Council expects the property owner to be notified by staff and informed of what the
potential inclusion on the Register means;
x A letter notifying the property owner of the intention to add the property to the
Register and indicating the date that the report will be on the Planning and
Development agenda will be sent to the property owner when the report is going
forward to Committee.
Public Outreach and Education Committee — T. Ali reported that the subcommittee met
and discussed the following items:
x The committee is in the process of drafting a pamphlet that includes more detailed
information about the Municipal Register and is intended to be used to educate
property owners;
31 Page
20
x The subcommittee can work on building content for the new heritage website to
have it ready to be uploaded when the site is being updated, later this year;
x The subcommittee discussed events and possibly having the Heritage Committee
boards at various community events like Orono Fair, Doors Open, etc.;
x K. Warren displayed a desk calendar that may be used as a potential template for
the design of the Heritage Committee's own desk calendars.
NEW BUSINESS
Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan — D. Addington reported that the privately initiated
Secondary Plan study has commenced and the draft terms of reference includes a
heritage analysis as one of the studies to be completed. The heritage committee will be
consulted on the heritage analysis once received. Members of committee have the
opportunity to attend the public information centres to offer their input over the course of
the study; registering as an interested party is the best way to stay informed.
2018 Durham Heritage Committee meeting — D. Addington reported that the Durham
Region Heritage Planners group are seeking a municipality to host the 2018 Durham
Heritage Committee meeting. The event is expected to be scaled down this year with
the election in October. The event is expected to consist of guest speakers with some
light snacks. Guest speakers can be suggested and arranged by any of the
municipalities in Durham. So far no municipality has offered to host the event.
Committee members discussed potential of hosting the event and would be open to
hosting only if no other municipality volunteers. The committee suggested that the best
date would be a Saturday morning in late September. D. Addington will communicate
this decision to the Durham Heritage Planners group.
1598 Baseline Road (Jesse Trull House) — The Committee discussed an inquiry made
by Madge Trull to Councillor Hooper regarding the protection of the Jesse Trull House
on the Dom's Auto Wrecker site at 1598 Baseline Road, Courtice. The house was
recently added to the Municipal Register. The house is located in an area designated
as Industrial in the Official Plan therefore the intended future use of these lands would
be industrial not residential. The Official Plan contains policies encouraging non-
conforming uses such the residential use of this house to relocate so the land is used in
conformity with the Official Plan. It is possible to designate the Jesse Trull House under
Part IV of the Heritage Act. However, long-term protection will require adaptive re -use to
conform with the industrial policies of the Official Plan. It was suggested that it would be
a good idea to capture Madge Trull's recollections about the history of the property
possibly through the Museum's `Sharing Stories' forum. It was noted that the John C.
Trull house was removed in 2005 from a property just to the east on Baseline Rd. to
make way for the Highway 418 construction.
Edna Thompson Daycare — F. Langmaid spoke of past efforts to designate this house
which is currently owned by the Region of Durham who are intending to move the Edna
41 Page
21
Thompson Daycare. F. Langmaid has communicated with the Regional Works
Commissioner and is awaiting a response regarding their opinion of designation. This
property is a primary resource on the heritage inventory but has not yet been formally
evaluated under the new process. The sub -committee will provide an evaluation.
Clarington Book of Barns — T. Ali reported on a motion (12.28) from 2012 that endorsed
the proposal to create a book of Clarington barns. The photography and some research
of the barns had been done. Should the Committee wish to move forward with this
project an overall project plan and timeline will have to be determined. T. Ali will contact
Kim Vaneyk to see if she has the past research conducted on the barns and her interest
in reactivating this project.
Next meeting: March 20, 2018, 7:00 p.m., Clarington Municipal Offices, Room 3C

5. Disclosure of Interests:
None.
6. Correspondence:
None received.
7. Announcements:
M. Morawetz noted that the spring church supper season is starting
soon and that rural churches like Eldad and Tyrone / Enniskillen
continue to welcome community at homemade Soup gatherings well
worth attending.
8. Executive Director's Report:
K. Warren reviewed highlights from her report including that the new office
computers & server are in; training is underway with passwords now in place.
The server now does a daily back up with an extra back up of the hard drive so
if it went down, all would be maintained except last day.
Performance reviews are underway starting with the goal setting stage
complete. Work to define "clerk" duties with staff input is also ongoing.
Attendance records showed 6200 visitors during 2017.
Professional development continues including K. Warren attending the GLAM
summit on sponsorship attainment from local communities, K. Warren and A.
Barron taking safe food handling and K. Warren has completed smart serve.
Staff will also attend the SLATE conference regarding programming for single
schoolhouses.
Young Canada Works and Canada Summer Jobs grants are in. Additional
sponsorship has been requested from OPG, Capstone, and St. Marys. Other
24
possible sponsors may include Hydro One, Veridian and TD Bank. Preparing
the grant application for Canada Cultural Spaces is underway and requires
Board approval for K. Warren to have signing authority on behalf of the Board.
With the municipality's assistance, an accessibility audit has been completed
and in May an application for the Enabling Accessibility Fund will be
submitted.
Quotes have been attained for rebranding, updates and launch from local
businesses Brand Ambition, 368 Durham and Joe Andrus Branding. H. Raj
asked if Durham College students had been approached as project work for
them could save the museum money perhaps. A logo design contest for high
school students facilitated by the Museum Youth Council was another idea. A
summer student with appropriate background may focus on web development.
Property Management items for all three sites were reported, and it was noted
that expenses for snow and ice management are higher than usual due to the
more severe winter. Bats are a problem in the volunteer building at the Clarke
site. K. Warren has researched protocol for cleaning (now complete) and for
control recommending that bat boxes be installed. It was suggested that more
information from Durham Health may be available as well as from pest control
businesses. The staff members have elected Becky as the H&S rep and weekly
and monthly checks of equipment are on schedule again. All training required
for co-op and summer students, and interns will be completed and K. Warren is
reviewing records to ensure police checks are up to date and on record for all
staff and volunteers.
Work is ongoing to increase membership. Presently there are 21 members
including 6 new memberships since the new year, in part due to the newsletter.
Members are offered pre -registration spots prior to events & exhibit launches.
Collection cleanup continues in the archives. Once complete, J. Steen will
provide for Board consideration, an itemized list of her recommendations for
de -accessioning.
Finance Reports prepared by Bookkeeper, Irene Locke, were reviewed by K.
Warren and discussed. Information regarding wills and bequests from the
Sturch, Rinch, Lunney, Barber, Vandersaal and Farr families was also
25
provided. The Lunney bequest was specifically provided for a permanent local
exhibit. Items from that exhibit previously on display in the Jury House are
now housed in the Sarah Jane Williams Heritage Site for more visibility. Pearl
Barber and the Vandersaal donations were items of value for the collection. It
was suggested that it would be appropriate to put plaques by items on display
noting donors' names. All others were donations with no specific designation
requirements.
K. Warren recommended reviews be done on contracts existing for snow
clearing, pest control, phone & copier rentals, cleaners, Rogers phone/internet,
Swish products, and the Visa terminal. It was also requested that the Board
consider getting a Credit Card for approved purchases greater than provided
for in Petty Cash. Suppliers not otherwise an option may become accessible
resulting in reduced costs for some items purchased. A policy for use would
be required and enforced. K. Warren will circulate a draft policy for
consideration by the Board. It was reviewed that a motion is already on the
books to implement "view only access to account" as it may improve
processing time for the Bookkeeper. K. Warren was asked to have it set up.

9. Curatorial Report: Submitted by Jennifer Steen
Exhibition "Family Ties" opened February 8' with a kick off Members Only
event. At Waverly Place exhibit plans are underway to feature more period
26
decorating better depicting the history of the home and of the Jury and Fischer
families. Work continues on designs for the children's area being developed at
SJWHC. The quote from James Publishing for UV protection vinyl for the 25
back windows, replacing the curtains and foam inserts, is $1834.74. That is
higher than the estimate (approximately $1700) with the addition of the upper
panels. Work continues on the Collection. Capstone Grant has not been fully
used as part of it was intended for the purchase of a digital SLR camera, tripod
and laptop. As more volunteers and interns are coming to help, these items are
needed as soon as possible. 8 research requests were completed this month.
Moved by: S. Bobka Seconded by: S. Elhajjeh
THAT: the additional money required to pay the final James Publishing
invoice of $1834.74 be approved.
MOTION CARRIED
10. Programming Report: Submitted by Amy Barron
A public lecture in celebration of Black History Month, "The Barber, The
Bishop, and Lucy" by Dave Clements was held and felt successful with 13
attending despite snowy weather. After this event and the Members only
opening of "Family Ties" exhibit, a new evaluation form was used to gather
information from attendees on ideas for future events and exhibits and other
feedback.
Most exciting is collaborative work by the Youth Council members and
Fleming College's Education and Public Programming students, a class in
museum studies, to create, decorate and run an Escape Room during March in
the Waverly House where three rooms which are being recreated for Jury and
Fischer family history exhibits lay empty just long enough to provide space for
this unique event.
Other partnerships continue to grow with Clarington Central High School
English and Technology classes working on a Sharing Stories project,
Bowmanville High School students in the Leading Edge (SOLE) Leadership
class, DDSB Continuing Education with adult co-op student, Ramona Grechi,
who will be working full-time to assist from February to April in an office
administration placement (she is a new immigrant gaining training and
27
experience in English), and 3 Fleming College Museum Management &
Curatorship students in full-time 14 week internship positions starting in May
(two assisting with collections and one assisting with social media and
marketing). Visual Arts Centre, Clarington Tourism and Pickering Museum
Village's Julie Oakes who is helping with costumes for Waverly Place, meet to
keep in touch, and Theatre on the Ridge artistic director is considering an
opportunity for live theatre at Waverly Place this summer. Bowmanville Older
Adult Association (BOAA) with a grant opportunity is working on a year-long
photography project pairing students with seniors, is hoping to partner with the
museum for some exhibits.
11. New Business:
a) 2018 Policy Review — 2018 CMOG requirements require Governance and
Collections policy reviews. K. Warren asked that this item be moved up on the
agenda at future meetings to ensure completion as the submission deadline is
in May. K. Warren will resend the package of policies that need to be
reviewed so all members of the Board have them. Also recommended was that
the Board review policies every 2 years rather than the present plan of every 3.
b) Elections — this item will be deferred to the next meeting of the Board as
the two newest members will have had time to meet and consider appropriate
nominations for each position.
c) Signing Authority — Regarding the Canada Cultural Spaces Grant signing
authority to allow the Executive Director the authority required.
Moved by: S. Middleton Seconded by: S. Bobka

request for funding and identifying the authorized signing authority for the
application if the signatory is other than the Board Chair.

Seconded by: Carol Little
2. Arena Manager's Report — Garbage Bins on property are being regularly filled by
neighborhood residents, signage and / or camera is required in an attempt to stop this
from happening. Councillor Partner advised: Operation has signage with by-law
restrictions and she would arrange for one or, two to be provided. Also, concerns over
parking across from the main entrance were discussed at length. Several suggestions
came forward; bollards, one way entrance, parallel parking were some. Councillor
Partner advised that By -Law Officers worked until 8:00 p.m. and we could use this
service to ticket vehicles unlawfully parked. That may get the message out. Bryan will
take all these suggestions under advisement and follow-up with the board. Newcastle
hockey teams appeared to be more competitive this season and indication was we would
see some divisions moving through the playoffs, possibly to the Ontario Championships.
With multiple snow storms this winter, parking is becoming a problem. We may require
snow removal from the lot. This is an additional cost to the arena unless provided by the
municipality. That will be a request Bryan will follow-up on with the operations
department.
30
(2)
Through our Risk Management follow-up, bollards had been located in front of the
propane cage in the parking lot.
Wage increases to our rink attendants to $14.00/hr. brought their pay rate to the same
level as the operators. This will have to be addressed in our 2018 budget — three, (3)
operators should be earning more than the minimum paid to the RA's, now that the
minimum rate is at $14.00.
3. Financial Report — A draft year-end financial report was provided, but will be revised
for our next meeting. Hydro costs and other revenue and expense entries had not been
completed. Budget considerations for 2018 will need to be finalized, as well.
4. New Business — The board members feel the postponement of any recreation
development taking place in the municipality brings a need for serious updates required
to Newcastle Arena. Without any plan for an additional ice pad(s) in Newcastle for at
least 8 to 10 years, it would appear that attention is required to a number of areas of the
building and property. This will be discussed at follow-up meetings and brought forward
to council and staff.
Our board is still short one member and no vice -chair has been appointed, to date.
Council advises the position on the board will be advertised. Also, all members have been
asked to bring suggested names forward for consideration.

Hockey League cancelling 9 hours of ice time this past week -end for their tournament
schedule. We do still invoice for this time they had booked. The league is aware of this
policy.
We are in need of snow removal from the parking lot as we have two teams that have
qualified for the All Ontario Playoffs. Operations Department is trying to accommodate
us. Bryan will follow-up.
Clarington Fire Department arranged to bring all four crews of Fire Fighters through the
building for an update on equipment and safety methods required for possible
emergencies. Bryan is looking after the scheduling for this month, (February).
February 26th, Bryan will be meeting with Operations Department regarding updates and
current needs for the arena. The parking lot, lighting and snow removal are some of the
topics on the agenda. Bryan will follow-up with the board members at our next meeting
on what was discussed and planned out.

3. Financial Report: Our 2018 income forecast was discussed at length. Particularly with
the new wage programs implemented by the province. The new wage increases effective
in January of this year and again in January 2019 affect our budget by approximately $8
to $10,000.00. This plus current utility costs necessitate a substantial increase in ice rates.
The following motion was brought forward:
Motion # 18-004 was proposed: THAT: Hourly rates for ice and floor rentals be
increased by approximately $10.00/hr. in all rate areas, i.e., Prime -Time, Minor Hockey,
Day Time, school rates and summer floor rates. Rental to the Newcastle Family
Connection for the upstairs dance program be increased by $50.00. All ice rental rates to
take affect at our start-up in September of 2018. Summer rates to take affect this April,
once the ice is out.

Newcastle Family Connection - $200.00 plus 13% HST = $226.00 weekly.
A final budget forecast will be presented by the chair for our March meeting.
4. New Business: It was suggested by Gary Oliver that the south/east corner of the parking
lot is still not lit well enough. Bryan will take it up at his meeting with Operations
Department. Also, the commercial garbage container at the front door is not emptied
frequently enough and garbage overflows onto the parking lot. We require a key for it.
33
(3)
Bryan will call the contractor to see what can be done — more frequent pick-ups or,
provide us with a key to open and empty.
Councillor Partner suggested we contact Peter Lomax for a quote on snow removal for
next season. This will be put on our to-do list for next fall.
Conversation initiated by Bryan took place regarding the possibility of a pension plan
program for him. After discussion, it was determined we would investigate the
possibility, with no commitment at this point. The chair will investigate and bring
information to our next meeting.

Monarch Tagging
On Sunday September 10 a Monarch Tagging event organized by the SWNA
committee was held at the Port of Newcastle waterfront and the SWNA. This was a
citizen science initiative to fulfil a key objective contained in 11011Q \FRQVID Ddb/L]
Monarch pledge. Over 100 people participated to capture, tag, and record data on
250 migrating monarchs. In total 487 monarchs were tagged over a two week
period. The tagging data has been provided to Monarch Watch. Three of the tagged
monarchs have already been reported as re -captured. One at the SWNA, one in
Whitby, and one in Oregon Ohio, located on the west tip of Lake Erie.
The project was a huge success as both a citizen science initiative and a
community event enjoyed by many residents. The committee agreed that it will be
worthwhile host another tagging event in 2018, on Saturday September 8.
A May 2018 planting event will be arranged should OPG offer more plants to
augment or expand the nectar planting beds.
SIR MIN ON- :41-111:1:%71"r, on! 7,,Fii12J,TOJ

Great Lakes Atlantic Salmon Restoration presentation
More than a century after Atlantic Salmon were last seen in Lake Ontario, the
Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), together with other partners, are
working to bring Atlantic Salmon back to the lake. Atlantic Salmon were one of
the first fish species in the Great Lakes wiped out by human activities. Decades of
rehabilitation and pollution control improved the health of the watersheds, and years
of research by MNRF and others demonstrated it was possible to restore Atlantic
Salmon to the tributaries of Lake Ontario.
On Thursday February 22 at 7:00 PM the SWNA Committee will be hosting a public
presentation at the Newcastle library to educate the public about the Great Lakes
Atlantic Salmon Restoration project. This free event will be advertised on SWNA
social media platforms and at municipal facilities.
Soper Creek Wildlife Event
Soper Creek Wildlife is a local group that rescues animals and does educational
sessions. The committee is interested in hosting a public event, themed around
urban wildlife, on-site on Saturday June 9 from 10:30 -Noon.
Meaghan Vandenbrink will follow-up to determine their availability, what live animals
they would be able to bring, and what the cost would be for a 1-1.5 hour event.
Pollinator Event
The SWNA committee will investigate hosting a presentation about Pollinators at
the Diane Hamre Recreation Complex in Newcastle.
Tom Hossie and Brian Reid will investigate to see if any expert speakers on
pollinators would be available for a late April event. The event could possibly be
followed by a bio -blitz at the SWNA for local brownies and scouts.
