9.2 Town of Saugeen Shores, Regarding "Investing in Canada Infrastructure
Program" to help address the Recreation and Culture Capital infrastructure
deficit that currently exists across Canada
Resolution #GG -174-19
Moved by Councillor Neal, seconded by Councillor Hooper
That the following resolution of the Town of Saugeen Shores, regarding "Investing in
Canada Infrastructure Program" to help address the Recreation and Culture Capital
infrastructure deficit that currently exists across Canada, be endorsed by the
Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas The Town of Saugeen Shores believes that building modern
infrastructure is important, and that good quality infrastructure supports job
creation and helps attract businesses and residents to our community and
communities across the Province of Ontario; and
Whereas Recreation Infrastructure is one of the most important core investments
that can be made into the prosperity, health, and security of urban and rural
communities; and
Whereas the need for infrastructure renewal projects far exceeds the capital
available in municipalities for investment in Recreation Infrastructure; and
Whereas Recreation Infrastructure is often put to the bottom of the list, as other
infrastructure takes priority; in fact, there has not been a meaningful Recreation
Infrastructure program since 2008; and
Whereas the Province of Ontario places long term borrowing restrictions on
Municipalities; and
Whereas Saugeen Shores does not have the borrowing capacity to fund these
large scale projects; and
Clarington General Government Committee
Minutes
March 25, 2019
Whereas some Municipalities do have the capacity to fundraise and borrow to
1/3 of project costs but rely on other levels of Government for remaining
partnership funding; and
Whereas, while the Town of Saugeen Shores welcomes the inclusion of
Recreation Infrastructure funds through the Gas Tax Fund, it is apparent that Gas
Tax Funds alone are not sufficient to support large scale Recreation
Infrastructure projects; and
Whereas the Town of Saugeen Shores agrees with both Parks and Recreation
Ontario and with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario that the
infrastructure gap will continue to grow, especially once all of the municipal asset
plans are completed; and
Whereas both the Federal and Provincial Government could leave a positive and
lasting impact on rural communities by helping municipalities to renovate or build
new Recreation Facilities, and in the process create cost savings to our health
system. After all, health is a Provincial expense, and as citizens live healthier
lifestyles and maintain healthy bodies, this leads to less frequent visits to doctors'
offices, hospital emergency departments and rehabilitation centres, and
consequently less costs towards medical costs; and
Whereas in 2016 the Federation of Canadian Municipalities study found that
nearly half of all types of sport and recreation facilities in Canada are in fair or
poor condition, with a replacement value of $23 billion across Canada; and
Whereas in Ontario, the replacement value for aging pools, arenas and
community centres in fair or poor condition in Ontario is estimated to be $6 billion
(Parks and Recreation Ontario); and
Whereas the Province of Ontario has endorsed the Framework for Recreation in
Canada2015: Pathways to Wellbeing; and that the vision for the Framework is "a
Canada where everyone is engaged in meaningful, accessible recreation
experiences..." and that the first goal of the Framework is that governments
should enable participation in physically active recreation; and
Whereas the Framework for Recreation in Canada has as priority 4.3 as follows:
"Enable communities to renew Recreational Infrastructure as required and to
meet the need for green spaces by securing dedicated government funding at all
levels for the necessary development, renewal and rehabilitation of facilities and
outdoor spaces"; and
Whereas through the Investing in Canada Plan, the Government of Canada is
investing over $180 billion over 12years in Infrastructure projects across Canada
with these investments being made by 14 Federal Departments and Agencies;
and

Clar-ington- General Government Committee
Minutes
March 25, 2019
Whereas the Governments of Canada and Ontario signed a bi-lateral agreement
on March 14th, 2017 and created the "Investing in Canada Infrastructure Plan";
and be it
Resolved that the Council of the Town of Saugeen Shores requests that the
Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario move forward with accepting
applications for funding agreed to by the Governments of Canada and Province
of Ontario under the "Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program" to help
address the Recreation and Culture Capital Infrastructure deficit that currently
exists across Canada; and
Further, that this resolution and background Council Report be forwarded to all
Ontario Municipalities, Provincial and Federal Government's, local MP's and
MPP's, Parks and Recreation Ontario, and the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario, requesting their support.
