PRESENTATIONS
There were no Presentations introduced under this section of the Agenda.
DELEGATIONS
David and Valorie Whitehead addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item
D - 7 to request clarification of the zoning of their property. Mr. Whitehead advised
that in 2008, they approached the Planning Services Department to request
information on where they could construct a shed on their property to raise goats and
were informed at that time that their home and most of their acreage was zoned
"Environmentally Protected". Mr. Whitehead stated the property had previously been
zoned "residential farm" for a number of years and that staff of the Planning Services
Department informed them that in 2007 the zoning had been changed and that a
notice had been placed in the newspapers to advice of the change. Mr. Whitehead
stated he has since been in contact with the Province and has been advised that the
property is not zoned core but countryside and therefore, has nothing to do with
"environmentally protected" land other than being on the Oak Ridges Moraine.
Mr. Whitehead advised his family wants to start a farm to supplement their income.
He also stated that the zoning on a neighbouring property is agriculture and that there
is an aggregate operation on another nearby property. Valorie Whitehead stated they
were appealing to Council to allow them to farm on their property which they had been
doing for the last nine years and which was their original intention when they bought
the property years ago.
In response to questions, Mr. Whitehead advised that they were under the impression
that Municipal staff were going to contact them to follow-up and that they now have
Affidavits from persons who will attest to the fact that the property was farmed in the
past.

I - 12 R. A. (Bob) Fowler, Secretary, Ontario Property and Environmental
Rights Alliance expressing concern with the linking of the
interpretation and implementation parameters of the Endanqered
Species Act 2007 to the regulatory framework of the Drainaqe Act
and of future linkages to other Provincial Statutes which will result in
municipal costs and taxes accelerating while mortgage worth and
property values decrease. The Alliance states that the questionable
origins of the Endanqered Species Act 2007 and current provincial
downloading of direct and indirect costs onto local municipal councils
is a strong argument for Land Ownership Rights legislation in Ontario.
I - 13 James Clancy, National President, National Union of Public and
General Employees thanking Council for proclaiming the first annual
Community Social Service Workers Appreciation Day on November 6,
2008.
I - 14 Jamie Robinson, Director, Strategic Communications, Nuclear Waste

Training Course on Decision Making and Stakeholder Involvement in
Repository Development October 1 to 10, 2008, and to the Nuclear
Waste Management Organization (NWMO) and Ontario Power
Generation (OPG) for co-hosting the event. The event will help
Member States to understand the process for making decisions
involving various stakeholders leading to the selection of sites for
underground facilities (laboratories and repositories); acknowledging
the courses are essential to developing an understanding of the
technologies and appropriate social-political conditions for HLW
management in IAEA Member states with less well developed
concepts; and, advising the willingness to share the broad
understanding and knowledge gained by Canada in decision making
through stakeholder involvement is highly appreciated.

D - 9 Tom Barrie, Chair, Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington
advising Council that on November 13, 2008, the Agricultural
Advisory Committee of Clarington adopted the following resolution
pertaining to the ban on pesticides for cosmetic use:
"WHEREAS the Provincial government is committed to protecting
families by introducing a new toxics reduction strategy to reduce
pollution and protect Ontarians from toxic chemicals; and
WHEREAS the first step towards implementing this strategy is the
legislation for the elimination of pesticides for cosmetic purposes
which passed on June 18,2008; and
WHEREAS the Province's own literature does not clearly articulate
that under Regulation 914 there are exceptions to the ban including
agriculture, forestry, golf courses and promotion of public health and
safety; further the Province's communications indicate that the
government has "listened to medical experts -like the Canadian
Cancer Society - who has made a convincing case for reducing our
exposure to pesticides"; and
WHEREAS the Canadian Cancer Society's November 2008
Conference is centered on the use of agricultural pesticides on food
to the point that it would appear that they would like to ban pesticide
use for food production; and
WHEREAS each different pesticide is licensed by the federal body,
the Pesticide Management Review Agency (PMRA) who establishes
the rules that the applicator must use when applying the pesticide;
and
WHEREAS the Province's Right to Farm Legislation protecting
farming activities does not protect farmers from inquiries by adjacent
residents; particularly when urban residences are in close proximity
to rural areas such as the edge of urban settlement areas in the
greenbelt and whitebelt; and
Council Meeting Minutes
- 12 -
November 24, 2008
WHEREAS the Ministry of Environment often take a more stringent
stance when enforcing than the guidelines recommended by PMRA;
and
WHEREAS the Province's communications and public education
regarding pesticides has to be framed in such a manner as to not
cause consumers to become paranoid about the positive uses of
pesticides in the production of food, the control of harmful and
noxious pests and for health and safety as set out in Ontario
Regulation 914; now
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Municipality of
Clarington request the Province have the Ministry of the Environment
work with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to
ensure that their communications and educational materials
regarding the ban on pesticides for cosmetic use clearly articulate
the provinces support for the appropriate use of pesticides by
farmers including those that farm near urban areas; and further that
the province ensure that the Ministry of the Environment provide
public information material along with their cosmetic pesticide
communication material that addresses the licensing process for
farmers in Ontario who apply pesticides; and further that the
Province ensure that the Ministry of Environment enforcement
officers work in concert with PMRA and that when considering
amendments to the Planning Act a Minimum Distance Separation be
established for urban and sub-urban residences from farmland; and
that this resolution be circulated to all members of the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario."
