Dear Patti:
We have valued YOUr help and that of YOUr associates to date with
the Port of Newcastle Marina and the need for two "Application
for Temporary Extension of Licence permits"e' We are grateful and
want you to know it.
We have moved forward with the permanent application and
anticipate approval, but the Liqucr Licence Board are not able to
tell us exactly when. With a "Resolution of Council" required
for each 14 day period and with Council not meeting On a regular
basis during the summer period we would ask your help again.
Specifically patti, it has been suggested that we ask Council to
approve four consecutive 14 day resolutions which would only be
used if the permanent licence has not been issued at that
particular point in time. This we are told is not an unusual
request to deal with the LLBO regulations.
THE MARSKELL GROUP, 19 Redstone PaUl, Elobicoke Ontario M9C 1 Y7.
Telephone: (4161 620-1940, Fax: (416) 620-9335
The periods involved would be July 5 - July 18, July 19 - August
1, August 2 - August e15, and August 16 - August 29, and we would
appreciate separate resolutions, which I repeat would only be
used if the permanent licence is yet to be issued.
We naturally will keep you informed on the permanent licence and
thank you and Council again for this help and that to date.
Please do call if there are any questions or if there are other
things required.
Best regards,
(1A~
V. Kenneth Marskell,
President.

I Other Fund-Raisina Events:
Other fund-raising events to assist the Committee in fulfilling its mandate include:
And a kind word of thanks to the staff of the municipality who assisted us at our open
house including the Clerk's Department, Animal Control Staff and Works Department.
A Clarington Animal Day at Bowmanville Zoo
A fund-raising event to be held at Jungle Cat World
Various promotional/educational activities in conjunction with the Apple Festival
On going sale of T-shirts and other logo'd items
New Shelter:
The New Shelter Sub-Committee has been meeting so that they will be in a Position to
provide input and support to staff once an initial renovation plan for the new site is
available, Our Committee believes that the diverse expertise of our members will allow
us to meaningfully participate in the new shelter in a way that will benefit the animals
who will ultimately occupy the facility and the staff who are responsible for their care.
Bvlaws & Policies:
The Bylaws & Policies Sub-Committee met recently to review the first draft of the
proposed vicious dog bylaw. The Sub-Committee made a variety of proposals for fine
tuning this bylaw and we anticipate the opportunity to review the draft bylaw again prior
to its formal presentation to Council.
The Sub-Committee also intends to conduct a review of all existing animal control
bylaws presently in force in the Municipality, so that the Committee will be in a Position
to make positive contributions to any subsequent review of these bylaws by Council
with a view to consolidating and updating the Municipality'S animal control bylaws,
SoavlNeuter:
The Spay/Neuter Sub-Committee most recently met in mid June and their report will be
received by the Committee at our July meeting. The alteration of animals in
conjunction with an effective system of animal identification continues to be the central
focus of this Sub-Committee's activities and I hope to be able to provide a more
detailed plan of action at my next quarterly presentation.
Education:
This fall we hope to expand our Education Sub-Committee's activities by developing:
in school animal education programs.
newspaper articles on matters of general interest to animal owners.
information brochures on specific animal care issues,
,
Continuation of Committee:
Committee's mandate ends in September of this year
Would like Council to consider (prior to summer recess) extending the Committ e's
mandate at least a further 15 months to December 1998.
Two reasons to continue Committee:
The first is financial - the Committee (whose membership encompasses a tr Iy
wide range of talents and expertise) donate their time for the benefit of e
animals of Clarington. The Committee is effectively self sufficient financi lIy
except to the extent that some staff time is involved in the functioning of t e
Committee, In terms of cost effectiveness the Committee delivers very go d
value to the Municipality in the area of animal control issues,
The second reason to continue the Committee is that we will be able to achie e
results, Our Committee constitutes a valuable community resource in terms of:
increasing public awareness of animal education and animal care issues
and in terms of providing broad based support for the Animal Control
Department
These are areas of community involvement in which we likely all agree mor
activity is required, Here you have a group of organized, reasonable an
dedicated people who are committed to making a difference.
In conclusion, , hope that you will give us the oPPortunity to continue our efforts to
make Clarington a more pleasant place for animals that already have homes and
perhaps more importantly for those animals that have yet to find a family with which to
live.
Subject to any questions, that concludes my report of the activities of the Animal
Advisory Committee during its first six months of operation.

Devolution of Social Housing. Background Discussion Paper
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the Board Receive Report No. 97- 052 for information.
REPORT "
1. BackQround
,"
In mid-January 1997, the provincial government announced that It was proposing
to assume the cost of education In exchange for devolving the responsibility for
funding a number of social and health care programs. including social housing. to
the municipalities. It Is the province's contention that municipalities are better
suited to manage social housing programs as they are closer to the people who
live in these communities and hence should be able to provide better service and
access to those in need than is presently the case.
..,
In early May, 1997 after encountering oppositlPn from many groups including the
Metro Board of Trade, social agencIes. opposition parties, AMO, and even some
disgruntled Tory MPPs, the provincial government revisited the entire devolution
package. While a number of changes were made. the province remained
committed to turning over 100% of the responsibility for social housing to
municipalities. It is the only income support program which will not be cost-shared.
The devolution is to take effect as of January 1. 1998. Implementation plans will
be developed over the next six months. in part by the Advisory Council on Social
Housing, which includes social housing and municipal representatives. and in part
by two transitio" teams, the Provincial-Municipal Team and the Social and
Community Health Services Team, It is expected that funding responsibility will
be devolved January 1, 1998. but that th~ devolution of administrative
responsibility will follow over a longer time-framE!.
Ultimately, devolution will mean that municipalities
. fund all social housing;
administer social housing programs: and
operate public housing (although the extent 01 municipal control over public
housing is still unclear)

2e What is Social Housinq?
Page 2
There are approximately 260,000 units at social housing across Ontario. Social
housing is rental housing currently financed by the senior levels of government to
assist low and moderate income households - including families. seniors. singles
and persons with disabilities, whose housing needs are not being addressed by the
private sector.
There are a number of different social housing programs in Ontario. All are
presently being subsIdized by either the provincial and/or federal governments.
In some instances. the subsidization of these units are Cost-shared by the two
levels of government. In the Province of Ontario. the term "social housing"
COmprises 1) Ontario Housing Corporation units (OHCJ; 2) Rent Supplement
Housing; and 3) Non-Profit (both community-based private and muniCipal)/Co_
Operative Housing.
1) Ontario Housing Corpora!lon (OHC), owned by the provincial government
and operated by. the Ot:iC through 54 Local HousIng Authorities, is also
referred to as pUb'(c, hOUSing. 100% of public housing tenants are
households who cannot afford private market housing and pay rent
according to their income. There are some 84,000 OHC units province-
wide. Funding of these units, to cover the difference between what the
tenant pays and the rent required to cover costs, Is currently cost-shared
50%-50% by the provincial and federal governments.
2) Rent Supplement Housing prOVince wide totals 13,000 units. These units
are also funded on a federaVprovinclal cest-shared model, but the specifics
vary. Under this program, units are rented in privately-owned apartment
buildings and the government pays the landlord the difference between
geared-to-income rent paid by the tenant and the market rent cost of the
unit. The funding oWhese units Is currently being admInistered through the
Local Housing Authorities. The government entered into multi-year
agreements with private landlords to make these units available to needy
households. Priorto making the devolution announcement, the government
had already decided that upon explratlonof these agreements, they would
not be renewing same. Although agreements won't be renewed. subsidy
support to existing tenants will continue until such time as they vacate their
units,
3) Non-Profit and Co-operative Housing total approximately 172,000 units in
Ontario. Non-profit and Co-operative housing projects include a mix 01 low-
mcome tenants, paying rent-geared-to-income rent, and moderate income
tenants paying market rents. ThIs mix of low and moderate income
households was a program feature designed to create healthy_ non-
ghettoised communilies. Non-profit housing is owned and operated by
private community-based organizations. such as faith groups and service

clubs, as well as by municipalities. Co-operatives are non-profit housing
communities that were formed and are managed by the members that live in them,
3, Current Fundino and Administration of Social HousinQ .
Over the last 30 years, social housing in Ontario has been funded under a variety
of programs: some unilaterally federal; some unilaterally provincial; and some
jointly federal-provincial. There are currently 13 different programs in operation,
with a single housing provider frequently operating a portfolio including projects
deveioped under several different programs. Each program is unique in terms of
Its funding formula, legal agreements. operating gUidelines and reporting
requirements. (The Ministry has made some efforts to amalgamate its unilateral
provIncial programs) Providers with mixed portfolios must maintain separate
accounting and reporting systems to accommodate each program under which
they operate.
~wrently 75% of the total housing stock is administered by the province. Much
of this stock receives both federal and provincial funding. The remaining 25% of
the stock is currently funded and administered exclusively by the federal
government. '
Federal-provincial negotiations are currently under way which will likely devolve
responsibility for the administration of all federal funding agreements for soelal
housing to the province Of Ontario. Agreements of this nature have already been
signed with Saskatchewan, New Brunswick~ Newfoundland and the Northwest
Territories. The province of Ontario expects that federal devolution to Ontario will
be completed in time to Include these units in the transfer to municipalities.
Federal funds attached to social housing units would be passed through to the
municipal level by the Province. It should be noted however. that the devolution
agreements signed to date fix federal funding at 1995 levels with no indexing,
4. To Which Level of Municipal Government Will Housino Be Devolved?
The Province has. to date, given no clear answer to this question which is to be
addressed by the Provincial/Municipal Transition Team. It has been assumed that
devolution will not be to the most local level of. municipal government. It would
instead likely be to a second tier government, possibly at the regional or county
level. In some parts of the province: there is an obvious second tier to which
responsibility can be assigned. In other areas, there is no regional or county
government and a new administrative structure would have to be created. There
are also areas of the province where municipal amalgamation plans would need
to be finalized before structures for social housing could be defined. However,
there has also been some discussion of the Province reconsidering the number of
housmg delivery agents and that they may in fact reduce the planned number from

the proposed 50 to 20,
5e Municipal/Provincial Responsibilities
.
The devolution of social housing means that municipalities will now assume the
role of administering housing programs (albeit maybe through a "service delivery
agency") and funding the housing stock built under these programs for which the
province was hitherto responsible for. (This will likely also include the federal
housing stock devolved to the province)
As administrators of social housing programs, municipalities may be responsible
for setting housing policy, approving and monitoring operating budgets of public,
non-profit, and co-operative housing communities, providing support to providers
in terms of education and technical assistance to facilitate the successful operation
of their projects and general compliance reviews based on guidelines that may be
jointly~stablished at the municipal a~d provincial levels,
. .
With the exception of those units currently owned and operated by municipal non-
profit housing corporations, municipalities will not assume the ownership of other
social housing units located In their political jurisdictions. Community based non-
profit and co-operative housing companies will continue to own their projects, be
responsible for their management and maintain governance responsibilities for
them, The public housing stock will continue to be owned by the Province of
Ontario.
The province has indicated that it will continue to insure the project mortgages.
They have also said that it will continue to set and enforce province-wide
standards in such areas as eligibility and maintenance to ensure that social
housing is delivered effectively and equitably to low Income households across the
province.
Since the financial, legal, and admlnlstratlve Issues related to the management of
Ontarlo's social housing stock are very complex, the province has estimated that
it will probably several years to deal with these Issues before a full transfer of
administrative responsibilities to the municipalities occur.
6. Risks Issues and Concerns
Financial Risks
Provincial estimates show the devolution of provincially-administered social
housing as representing $905 million being transferred to the municipal property
tax base. This amount includes both operating subsidies applied to social housing
operations and debt servicing as well as rent-geared.to-income subsidies.

11 does not include the additional $564 million in federal contributions. How~ver,
in all probability, the provincial estimates do not rejle~t the real costs which will be
faced by the municipalitieS for the following reasons.
Mortgage Interest Rates: Many social housing mortgages have been r,ecently
renewed at extremely low interest rates. When these mortgages roll ov~r, ~nterest
rates may be significantly higher. It is estimated that a one percent rise In Interest
rates will result in a $100 million increase in costs across the province.
Currently all social housing mortgages are insured by either the provin7ial
government .or the federal government through the cana~a Mortgage an? HOUSing
Corporatlon (CMHC). It is essential that this mortgage Insurance co~tmu? to be
retained by a higher level of government, as the magnitude of risk In thiS area
cannot be assumed by municipal governments.
Replacement Reserves: A!I non-profit and co-operative housing pr,ojects are
supposed to have replacem~nt reserves, funded annually, to ?over th~..costs of
capital replacement A moratoriu'm was placed on capital rese1'1~. jund
contributions from 1992-94 while the Ministry "studied" alternate funding
mechanisms. Contributions were reinstated in 1995. however at reduced levels
(20% of previous levels) intended to deal only with "minor" capital replacements.
The Ministry's plan was for providers to borrow money for "major" repairs in the
future, using MMAH guarantees and subsidy.
The one-time allocation of $173 million for replacement reserve funding for non-
profit and co-operative housing announceo. as part of the devalution plan, will
restore replacement reserves to close to the level where they would have been
had they not been frazen five years ago. However it is doubtful that even this level
is sufficient to meet capital replacement needs into the future.
Capital replacement needs of public housing stock have been addressed differently
from the non-profit and co-operative stock. Instead of accumulating reserve funds
these needs have been met annually on a cash basis out of operating budgets,
While for the Metro Toronto Housing Authority the need has not been adequately
met and significant capital is required to upgrade this housing stock. in Durham the
public housing is,ln generally good conditlon. However, it remains that this stockis
without replacement reserves to meet future capital requirements.
Operating Costs: The cost of operatrng social. housing can fluctuate considerably
from year over year as a result of cost spikes In such items as utilities. especially
in a bad winter, garbage collection. etc. Provincial cost estimates have likely not
allawed for these fluctuations. It should also be noted that there have been
signifioant cuts to operating costs over the last five years, such that social housing
providers are now operating on "bare bones" budgets with no room for further cuts
and also with many deferred maintenance items from previous years,

Page 6
Program Administration Costs: Administration of the thirteen different social
housing programs is currently carried out by the Housing Operations Division of
the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, through their seven regional offices.
The staffing budgets of the Operations Division and the regional offices represent
the current cost of administering social housing programs, No provision has been
made in provincial estimates with regard to program adminstration costs,
Rent-Geared-to-Income Subsidies: Subsidies for units occupied by households
qualifying for assisted housing vary from year-to-year depending on tenant income
and number of rent-geared-to.lncome units during the period. Provincial cost
estimates are presumably based on current costs, However, in a time of economic
downturn, tenants' incomes could drop significantly and the number of assisted
units could increase, resulting in a corresponding increase in rent subsidy costs.
Rental Income: Approximately 20% of social housing tenants across the province
pay market rents. (For Durham Non-Profit Housing 40% of tenants are market)
Income from market rent tenants can be jeopardized by a soft rental market. In
addition, to enhance the marketability'o1 units buildings and grounds must be well-
maintained.
Unequal Distribution 01 Social Housing Across the Province: While there is
a least one social housing provider in every region across the province, the
distribution of units is very uneven and does not correspond to tax base
distribution. The result Is that. while all muniCipalities will have some social
housing to administer and fund, soma will be ~ssumlng a disproportionate share
of the burden.'
"
Other Issues
Administrative Capacity: In addition to the cost implications as outlined, there
is a need to define an administrative structure that provides the appropriate
infrastructure to perform the required program oversight in an cost effective
manner that minimizes duplication of services.
In order to minimize the administrative burden to municipalities, systemic reform
prior to devolutfon is essential. Reforms must be implemented that:
.
eliminate risks for municipalities;.
guarantee the financial viability of housing providers;
harmonize programs; and
streamline administration and accountability
.

Public Accountability: A common framework for accountability and standard

definition of what is the required level of oversight needs to be developed,
Devolution of social housing will raise concerns that management problems will
reflect poorly on the municipalities.
Program Control: There is a need to balance "pay" for "say" with the need for
provincial standards that sustain common levels of service. affordability and access
to housing across the province.
TIming: It is the province's intention to transfer the funding responsibility January

8. Summary ot'Social Housina Stock in Durham Realon
. .
As noted In the -attached schedules, there are a total of 7,631 social housing units
in the Regional Municipality 01 Durham (9th highest region in the province). '(his
number does not include supportive housing units located in free-standing group
homes or shelters as the government has Indicated that they will not be
transferring the responsibility for administering or funding these units to
municipalities at this time.
There are approximately 57 housing provide}s who own and manage these units
in 108 housing communities throughout the Region.
Durham Region Non-Profit Housi ng Corporation owns 1128 of these units located
in the following municipalities: Brock (Beaverton, Cannlngton, and Sunderland)
Clarington, Oshawa, Pickering. Uxbridge. and Whitby. In addition, we manage an
additional 53 units on behalf of the Township of Brock.

1.0 PREAMBLE
1.1 Reason for the Committee
This report is a result of the resolution passed at Regional Council in December 1996. Concern
had arisen due to the Crombie "Who Does What'! Panel's recommendations. The thrust of
Crombie's findings was that more amaigamation should occur and duplication and waste should
be reduced or eliminated. Council decided that the Region needed to examine and document
who performs what functions in our municipalities, to consider ways to streamline service
delivery and to increase co-operation between municipalities.
Since the Crombie Panel findings, the Provincial Government announced their decisions on
"who does what" during "Mega-Week", January 13-17,1997. As a result it is even more critical
that Durham Region and the Area Municipalities in the region are co-operating ( and
documenting that co-operation) to demonstrate that waste and duplication have been addressed.
As a result, the CAO's of the Region and the Local Municipalities were instructed to form a
WOW Committee and examine all aspects of service delivery:
'e
''THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
THAT UPON THE COMPLETION OF THE CROMBIE''WHO DOES WHAT' PANEL
AND ITS RECOMMENDATIONS BEING PUT FORTH THAT THE REGION OF
DURHAM APPOINT ITS OWN "WHO DOES WHAT" COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT
ALL ASPECTS OF SERVICE DELIVERY AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL AND SEE
HOW THEY FIT INTO THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE DELIVERY PROGRAM"

THAT WE RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL:
A) THAT A REGIONAL "WHO DOES WHAT" COMMITTEE WIllCH IS TO BE

1.2 Purpose of the Committee
The current Provincial government has begun to implement huge changes with a shift of focus
regarding priorities. Reductions in public sector spending which have been initiated at the
Provincial level are being expected to be implemented locally. While the Province is
encouraging change at the municipal level, that change must include a commitment to certain
objectives:
. to save money
. to preserve and enhance essential services
. to reduce duplication
. to simplify government
. to streamline decision making
. to improve accountability
. to demonstrate a real desire to reform existing government structures
The purpose of this committee's endeavours was to rationalize provision of services delivered by
the Region of Durham and local municipalities, with the view of removing duplication, overlap
and confusion to rate payers and reducing delivery costs.
There has been a considerable history of ~o-operative ventures within the region, and
departments in the different municipalities have regular meetings with their counterparts. What
has been lacking is documentation of those past efforts and successes. The intention of this
report is to redress this deficiency and also to make recommendations/suggestions of how to best
streamline service delivery in the light of the prevailing provincial political will.
1.3 How the Committee Approached the Task
At the first meeting of this committee it was decided that the group would consider efforts to
rationalize services within the Region from three standpoints, within the restrictions of the
mandate given to the committee by council:
. initiatives that had been successfully implemented and were now in place
. ventures currently under consideration but not yet in operation
. those future opportunities that may exist if explored more fully.
Subsequent to the first WDW committee meeting, the writer met with each of the Local C.A.O.'s
and gathered information regarding successes the municipalities had already had to this point,
and what suggestions/recommendations each would make for future co-operative efforts. A
guideline was used (see Appendix 1) to focus discussion.
After the initial individual meetings a draft report was made and circulated prior to the next
WDW meeting. Subsequent drafts were prepared as a result of discussions by the committee,
and further meetings with some C.A.O.'s,
5
During the discussion phase, it became clear that total unanimity on where responsibility for
service funding and lor delivery should lie would not be attainable. Consensus, therefore was not
an option and majority views were often adopted. One of the tools used (see appendix 3) was a
62 point service checklist. The C.A.O.'s used this to identify, in a conceptual way, which tier
they felt should be responsible for a particular service. In very few instances were these
decisions lmllnimous. At this point, for clarification and ease of identification, two further
summary charts were drawn up (see appendices 4 and 5).

During the wow committee meetings (there have been eight such group meetings),
considerable amounts of information have been distributed to increase awareness of relevant
issues, e.g., updates on other meetings pertaining to WOW, the "Mega Week" financial impacts,
GTSB information. A study on Fire Service provision commissioned by the Region ofY ork, a
study by McConmck Rankin on Alternative Road Management System Options for the County
of Hastings and The County of Simcoe, and a copy of Ottawa-Carleton's Report on Tax
Collection and Administration were circulated. All of these studies indicated that amalgamation
of services effect cost savings.

During the preparation period of this report there have been a series of external factors that have
impacted the discussion phase. The changingefiscal pictures emerging as a result of the ''Mega
Week" announcements in January, and the:: revised version presented in April, have had an
influence. The prevailing Provincial political will as evidenced by the City of Toronto Act,
1996, the ChathamlKent amalgamation, the Kingston amalgamations have had a major effect
during the deliberations of the committee. In addition to those decided amalgamations, Ottawa
and Hamilton are continuing to be studied. These actions demonstrate a readiness on the part of
the Provincial government to step in and impose decisions upon municipalities who demonstrate
an inability to restructure themselves. Consequently, the issue of municipal boundary
amalgamation within Durham was determined to be a critical consideration, but it was
recognized that this was beyond the mandate of this committee.
In considering changes in any delivery model, in so far as possible, certain principles must be
adhered to:
. The cost of government at all levels should be reduced
. There should be accountability for services provided
. Those services which are important to taxpayers should be protected and enhanced
. Delivery of service should be based on who can most effectively and efficiently provide
that service
It should be noted that the City Manager of Oshawa was present at all of the committee meetings
and participated within the discussions arising, he did not participate in the survey element, nor
did he participate within the committee's establishment of "majority support" upon which the
central positions taken in this report were developed. Consequently he is not a signatory to that
report. j

All of the information contained in the docllI)lent is accurate up to the time of printing. however
it should be recognized that in this very fluid political climate, that there may be some changes
that have already occurred. It is emphasisedthat the results documented in this report are
generated from best judgements, using years of experience, and not from analytical data. To
attempt detailed financial and operational analyses would have been extremely time consuming

possibilities to explore further if so instructed. e

2.0 PRESENT VENTURES
There has been a history within this region of regular meetings between some of the departments
(e.g., Works, Planning, Economic Development, Fire) to try and develop a more rational
approach to service delivery. A broad summary of those successes are outlined below, those
achieved Local Municipality -Local MJlIIicipality and those Region-Local Municipality.
~1
I
2.1 General Government
. All Municipalities and the Region share in co-operative purchasing of liability insurance
. Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge pool together to get better rates for their employee group
benefits package
. Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge receive assistance from the Region's Human Resource
department, particularly advice on personnel matters. These municipalities also use the
Region for training where possible e.g., WHMIS
. Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge have a joint venture for election procedures
. The Region and the Area Municipalities share in co-operative purchasing which results in
reduced costs

2.2 Protection to Persons and ProDertv
2.2.1 Fire Protection
. All municipalities are part of the Regional Mutual Aid Program whereby the fire
departments respond to an emergency that another area is not able to handle
. Clarington and Oshawa have an agreement where each responds to motor vehicle
accidents for each other in certain designated areas
. Some municipalities provide dispatch for others e.g., Whitby provides emergency
communications and dispatch for Uxbridge and Oshawa provides dispatch to Scugog
. There are fire protection agreements between some municipalities e.g.,Uxbridge and
Scugog
. Uxbridge has an emergency van which is used by the three northern municipalities if
needed
2.2.2 Other Services
. Several municipalities have joint Animal Control Services. Pickering, Ajax, Whitby have
a joint facility located in Whitby and Uxbridge and Scugog share a facility in Scugog and
share costs
. The Region is mandated to have an emergency measures plan, and all municipalities have
plans which are usually maintained by the fire chief

Roads
The Region has road maintenance contracts in place with Ajax, Clarington and Oshawa
Uxbridge already has boundary roads agreements with Pickering and Brock for snow
ploughing
The Region and Clarington, Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Brock and Uxbridge c0-
operate in snow ploughing on certain roads
Brock allows the Region to use their local yard during off-hours in the event of
emergencies, to save cost of travel due to location of Region's depot
Instead of cash-in-lieu payments to Pickering by the Region for work on Old Taunton
Road, the Region completed work on Pickering road systems
Pickering has always worked closely with the Region on road reconstruction and traffic
management projects
Clarington has some shared equipment with the Region, e.g., gradall, shoulder excavator,
reach mower and also shares manpower, e.g., crack filling, patching and line painting on
roads
Whitby has cooperative maintenance agreements on town line roads with Ajax, Oshawa
and Scugog
The contract for maintenance ofb'1ulevards in Whitby has been expanded to include the
Region at a savings to the Region of $14,000
There is an agreement in place whereby Whitby provides gradall road maintenance to
Brock
.
.
.

2.3.2
Transit
Uxbridge shares the cost of a Handi- Transit van with Scugog
Whitby, Clarington, Scugog and Oshawa share Handi-transit. Each municipality pays a
proportionate share of administration costs and fun<js vans as appropriate
The Region has established the Regional Transit Co-ordinating Committee to explore
opportunities to enhance inter-municipal transit service in the region for both
conventional and specialized operations
A Specialized Transit Coordinating Committee (a sub-committee of the above)ensures
Region-wide access (apart from Brock) for Handi-Transit
Whitby and Oshawa have some co-ordination and integration on Highway 2 for bus
seTVlce
Pickering Transit specialized services operation has been relocated to Ajax
An Ajax transit supervisor was seconded to assist Pickering in their operation and he is
working for both municipalities
Pickering provides Highway #2/Bayly Street service between GO stations
Trapeze QV routing and scheduling software was purchased co-operatively between
Pickering and Ajax
Pickering and Ajax are pooling a part-time transit operator for cost savings and training
consistency

2.3.3 Other
. Re: harbours, Pickering operates a boat in the Pickering Ajax Rescue Unit (P ARU) and
Ajax contributes to its operation costs, and Oshawa operates COMRA (City ofOshawa
Marine Rescue Association) and Whitby contributes to its operation costs
. Pickering's Chief Building Official was seconded to Ajax for three months, March - June
1996 on a fee for service basis to review and assist with daily operations. Some work
has been done subsequently on a periodic basis
. Regular meetings are held between senior staff of the Region and Pickering in Planning
and Public Works
. The Public Works Directors of the Lakeshore municipalities and the Commissioner of
Works for the Region meet quarterly to discuss ways to reduce costs/duplication
. Pickering's building division maintains an informal ongoing liaison with its counterpart
in Ajax and Whitby
. All municipalities and the Region are involved in different committees and sub-
committees (both in and outside of the region) to share information, systems, processes,
policies, standards, fee schedules etc. e.g.,
· Durham Public Works Association
· Durham Traffic Advisory Corom.
· Pickering Utility Co-ordination Committee
· Durham Waste Managem~t Committee

Plannin!!
.
The Region's second official plan was approved in November. 1993 providing a strategic
plan for development of the Region to 2021. All Area Municipal official plans are based
on the Regional plan
The Region exercises local official plan and lot creation approval functions (consent,
plans of subdivision/condominium, part let control)
The Region has accepted transfer of provincial review responsibilities for the approval
functions commencing mid 1996, The Region ensures that all approvals given have
regard for provincial policy
The Region provides local municipalities with comments on the applicability of
provincial policy for applications under their jurisdiction
The Region and the Province have provided training sessions to Pickering staff in four
areas (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Ministry of Culture, Citizenship
and Recreation, Ministry of Natural Resources, and Ministry of Energy and
Environment). Although the Region retains responsibility for plan review in these areas,
Pickering has agreed to assist the Region in several aspects of the review function
.
.
2.9
Economic Development
,
.
In a collaborative effort with the area municipalities, a liaison team was established
approximately ten years ago to discuss joint programmes and share resources. This effort
has remained in place and with the support of all parties meets approximately monthly
Jointly finance trade shows, seminars, advertisements
In addition to their individual efforts, area municipalities work co-operatively with the
Region to facilitate their intemational marketing
Due to a broad overview, the Region is able to show potential clients various
municipalities within the Region so that a prospectjve business may be more likely to
find a location that satisfies all requirements
In partnership with the area municipalities the Region is targeting sectors, such as day
tourism, aerospace defence, plastics and automotive, where a critical mass level of
approximately 500,000 population is essential
While the Region may focus more on programmes and initiatives that more regularly
cross municipal boundaries, the individual municipalities assume more of a focus on the
critical local area issues, municipal specific initiatives, and that critical role of direct local
contact with clients to facilitate business plan implementation or problem resolution. A
positive co-operative effort between the Region and the local municipality can be
beneficial for the community and results in production consequences
Given the economies of scale, many Provincial and Federal agencies will deal with the
Region, which in turn will be responsible for information flow and partnering at the local
level
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
Working co-operatively, for the benefit of the whole community, Economic Development
Departments in the Region have been able to realize many successful projects. Examples
would include, but not be limited to,
all Area Municipalities invited to attend and participate in DREDAC and BAN.

4.0 FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES
Many opportunities have been identified for future rationalization of service, increased
co-operation etc. Some of these opportunities could be implemented in the same way as those
that are currently practised. However, some of the recommendations would involve a more
fundamental shift in how business is conducted and would require more detailed analysis.
4.1 General Government
4.1.1 Legal services
. Brock and see potential for sharing legal services with the Region
. Ajax also sees more combination possible in some legal services
4.1.2 Court Administration
. Ajax regards combination of administration as a possibility (e.g., for Provincial Offences
Administration)
4.1.3 Payroll
. Ajax sees value in purchasing san;ie systems (possibly for backup)
4.1.4 Purchasing
. While recognizing the co-operative purchasing venture already in place, Ajax also sees
this could be expanded
4.1.5 Tax Billing and Collection
. More co-ordination of policies and procedures would be valuable and Ajax also suggests
that purchase of similar systems would facilitate bll;ckup if necessary
. Pickering suggests that there is no need to have multiple collection systems and that there
could be a single, Regional level of tax collection
4.1.6 Elections
. Ajax believes that more sharing ofkuowledge would be valuable e.g., Ajax used vote
tabulators at last election and saved $50,000
. Pickering sees value in sharing advertising costs etc,
4.2 Protection to Persons and Pronertv
4.2.1 Fire Protection
. Ajax sees possible restructuring, using shared personnel (particularly in training), and
shared equipment. Ajax also sees a need for a Regional coordination role
. Whitby sees value in some amalgamations/shared personnel, but cautions that the varying
use of volunteers along with differing expectations may inhibit this
15
. Whitby and Ajax see the need for Fire and Ambulance to be located together. Pickering
agrees with that and thinks that it may be better to co-locate, Police, Fire and Ambulance
. Whitby recommends having one major fire training area
. Brock sees opportunity to service areas closest to fire halls (both internal and external to
municipality - porous bOWldaries)
. Brock sees potential to co-ordinate joint purchases
4.2.2 Protective Inspections
. Uxbridge sees value in joint inspections for the three Northern Municipalities
. Clarington also would be willing into looking at co-operative inspections
. Ajax would also explore sharing of inter-municipal resources and ideas
. Pickering suggests investigating integrating other agency inspections e.g., Home
Warranty Program, Ontario Hydro installation inspections
4.2.3 By-law Enforcement
. Brock sees an opportunity to share in the prosecution aspect with other municipalities
. Clarington views by-law enforcement as a potentially shared responsibility
4.2.4 Animal control
. Clarington sees animal control as.,an area for co-operation
. Whitby and Pickering view further amalgamations as possible. Whitby believes this
particularly appropriate along the lakeshore municipalities
4.2.5 Emergency Measures
. Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Clarington, Scugog, Brock, Uxbridge support an increased
coordination role by the Region. The Region has a new department and when fully
established will be happy to provide any advice, assistance, planning to any area
municipality which requests it
4.3 Trans{lortation/Construction
4.3.1 Roads
. Uxbridge sees possible future co-operation in snow ploughing and road maintenance
. Brock sees opportunity to consolidate Works' yards into one building to house Regional
and Township operations
. Brock is looking at possibility of sharing vehicles with other municipalities
. Pickering and the Region will be revisiting discussions in 1997 on shared maintenance
possibilities - road maintenance, debris collection, grass trimming, borrowing of
equipment and surveying
. Brock sees opportunity to share maintenance of certain Regional Roads (i,e, #47 & #50)
. Ajax sees the need for more interaction between Works departments of area
municipalities. Feels that they have good working cooperation with Region in place.
More opportunities exist for joint tendering and sharing of equipment and personnel

. Whitby sees an opportunity for disentanglement when Regional road construction is
going into a municipal reconstruction program. The local level should have delegated
authority to ~nminister the contract thereby eliminating duplication and confusion
. Whitby sees another area for disentanglement if area municipalities manage storm
sewers. Currently they have broader responsibility for Storm Management quality and
could easily incorporate storm sewer responsibilities
4.3.2 Transit
. Uxbridge and Ajax both see the need for a Regionally co-ordinated transit system
. Whitby sees the need for a Regionally co-ordinated service only along Highway #2
. Pickering believes there is the potential for a community bus service along Kingston Rd.
Corridor between Ajax and Pickering to provide pick-up and delivery to bus stop within
closest proximity of destination using existing Specialized Services fleets
. Pickering sees that there could be a local fixed route service to connect with GO express
bus service
. Pickering sees the need for a co-ordination of bus service to Highway #7. Expansion of
north-south service will be required to meet GTA north commuter demand
. Pickering also views a Regional Transit system as valuable to co-ordinate public
transportation within the Region, co-ordinate CTAP Program, initiatives, co-ordinate
Specialized Services/Handi- Transit funding for all communities with the Region, co-
ordinate intra-Regional travel on conventional transit
4.3.3 Other
. Parking - Ajax feels that more information sharing would be valuable re problem
solving. Exchange of ideas e.g., innovative ways of improvement could be better
communicated
4.4 Public Health
. The Province is downloading septic tank inspections. The Region has responsibility for
large private sewage systems and Local Municipalities will be responsible for all other
private sewage systems. The Region sees an opportunity to enter into agreements with
municipalities to inspect all of the systems since the Region currently has the necessary
expertise
4.5 Recreational and Cultural Services
4.5.1 Libraries
. Uxbridge and Whitby see the need for a co-ordinating body, probably best suited to the
Region (to ensure smooth transfer of materials etc. and maybe expand upon borrowing
rights)
. Whitby sees the value in having all municipalities having a reciprocal borrowing
arrangement
. Pickering suggests investigating Regional facilities
17
4.5.2 Cultural Programs
. Uxbridge suggests there may be a need for a Regional presence iflarger scale facilities
are required - possibly partnerships with private enterprise
4.6 Planning
.
Clarington may investigate pos~ibility of purchase of service from CLOCA forestry
officers to enforce municipal tree preservation by-law
Further discussions with Ajax respecting the potential for Pickering's assistance in areas
of property control, mapping and GIS
Brock sees opportunity to share Regional mapping services as the region has the
equipment and the expertise, and other planning functions could be shared as the need
anses
Brock sees opportunity to involve other municipalities and the Region re Alternative
Dispute Resolution to reduce/avoid OMB hearings
Explore the feasibility of delegation of approval power from the Region to the
municipalities of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington for:
~ local official plan amendments
~ draft plans of subdivision
~ land severance applications
Whitby suggests that to streamline the planning process the Regional Official Plan should
be less detailed and prescriptive. It should be retooled to be a broader planning guideline
including strategies to deal with the bigger planning issues and infrastructure. If changes
conform to the Provincial and Regional standards that should be sufficient. The result
would be a time and costs savings to the taxpayer
.
.
.
.
.
4.7
Economic Development
.
The committee is of the opinion that Economic Development should be a shared
responsibility, and some of the suggestions from departments were:
Region suggests investigating duplication in printing of brochures, marketing, data
collection etc,
There is an emphasis on "one-stop shopping" and the Region sees the need for looking at
ways to provide this approach, so that consumers can contact one location and receive
information about the whole region
Region believes we should be investigating ways ofpartnering more with the private
sector
Brock sees an opportunity to co-ordinate economic development department function as
the infrastructure exists at the Region, Area municipalities could designate one person to
act as liaison to the Region (a whole department is not cost effective)

5.0 INITIATIVES WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES/ORGANIZATIONS
Some municipalities have arrangements with other municipalities and organizations outside of
the Region's municipalities, Examples of these endeavours are:
Pickering
. The manager of building services obtained full membership in Toronto Area Chief
Building Officials Committee in 1996 and meets monthly with this group of 18 officials.
T ACBOC is the source of many efforts to standardize practices of member municipalities
to produce better and more consistent services across the GTA
. There is considerable involvement with different committees and sub-committees geared
towards sharing information, processes, policies, standards, fee schedules etc. e.g.,
~ Metro Area Code Interpretation Committee
~ Structural Advisory Committee
~ Metro Area Plumbing Advisory Committee
Whitby
".
. Tax billing is done in conjunction With the Royal Bank
. Computer equipment for elections is shared with another municipality outside of the
region
. There is a fleet maintenance agreement with Whitby Hydro. Whitby maintains Hydro's
vehicles - Whitby's operations centre is adjacent to Whitby Hydro on Taunton Rd.
Uxbridge
. Uxbridge has fire protection agreements with Whitchurch-Stouffville and East
Gwillimbury (both in York Region)
Brock
. Brock has fire protection agreements with Township of Eldon and Mariposa (County of
Victoria), Township ofRamara (County of Simcoe) and Town of Georgina (Region of
York)
. There are road boundary agreements with Township of Eldon (Victoria County)
. Brock manages federally owned harbours in Beaverton and Thorah Island
. There is a co-operative venture with Regional Police for space (Community Policing
Office in Beaverton)
. There is a co-operative venture Attorney-General's office for probation clients using
municipal office building
19
Scugog
j
-1
I
1
. Scugog has fire protection agreements with the Townships of Mariposa and Manvers
Region
. Economic development department very involved:
~ with GTA to promote all of the municipalities within the Region and the whole
GTA area outside of Canada
~ involved in promoting partnerships with organizations such as banks and Ontario
Hydro
~ involved with other countries to promote Regional (and member municipalities)
interests
. Emergency Measures Department liaises with police, and also the Province and Ontario
Hydro re nuclear plans

6.0 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
In summary, this report, following extensive review, has addressed the three major goals. First,
it details current co-operative efforts; secondly, it articulates areas under review; and thirdly, it
defines those areas that may properly justify further study. Service responsibilities suggested at
the local and upper tier levels are detailed for the consideration of the reader.
The report clearly shows that municipalities want greater communication between each other, so
that cost-saving successes and ideas can be adapted and incorporated into their own service
delivery systems. There is also recognition that there can be a greater sharing of equipment,
manpower and services to the benefit of the taxpayer.
The efforts made by the committee are only preliminary. More comprehensive, independently
conducted studies are needed in three broad areas:
. Fire/Ambulance
. Works - roads and solid waste collection
. Planning
By using financial data, these studies sholl~d identify where cost savings could be most
effectively realised without compromising the principles outlined at the beginning of this report.
It should be noted that a "one size fits all" policy in service delivery may not be the optimum
solution for Durham Region. There are clearly defined differences in the needs of the lakeshore
communities and those of the more northern rural areas. It was agreed that in future evaluation
and considerations of service delivery, it is important to realise that Durham Region is not
homogeneous in nature, and, therefore, various delivery systems may be appropriate.
Since the preparation of the report commenced, it has been realized that a great deal has occurred
within the Province. It has been evident that failing locally generated restructuring solutions, the
Province has demonstrated its preparedness to impose future direction. Given the current
government's stated (and implemented) policies of municipal amalgamation and service cost
reduction, a critical issue outstanding in the context of any fully realistic domestic Durham
initiative of this nature is municipal boundary amalgamation, It was the understanding of the
committee of Chief Administrative Officers that they were not to consider this critical issue
within their mandate as directed. Accordingly, all observations/recommendations contained
herein are based on the current municipal structure.
The Committee has applied itselfto the tasks associated with the mandate given to it. The group
recognizes that after lengthy review, discussion and debate on numerous issues, the movement
for significant change is dependent upon a clear statement of political will. It is not possible for
a group of senior staff to recommend dramatic change while realizing the need to respect existing
political positions. Change of a broad and multifaceted nature will require collective political
direction and commitment.

Six Month Report From Todd Hoffman - Chair
Municipality of Clarington Animal Advisory Committee
Introduction:
Greetings to Mayor and Council Members
Thank-You Re Open-House:
Thank-you to Council for support re open-house and special thank-you to Her Worship
the Mayor for attending and to Councillor Pat Pingle and our Committee Liaison -
Councillor Mary Novak for their support and participation.
Over 400 people attended
Approximately $1400 in gross proceeds
Approximately $650 net after expenses
(e.g. one time set-up for t shirts and advertising etc.)
Received pre event promotion and event coverage from local media
Successful kick-off to our fund-raising efforts.
Special thanks to those who sponsored the open-house including:
A&P - King @ Liberty
A&P - King @ Simpson
Berry's Pet Foods
Block Buster Video
Book Studio
Bowmanville Zoo
Bun King Bakery
Canadian Statesman
Clarington Fire Department

Shoppers' Drug Mart
Welcome Feeds
Zellers
And a kind word of thanks to the staff of the municipality who assisted us at our open
house including the Clerk's Department, Animal Control Staff and Works Department.
Other Fund-Raisina Events:
Other fund-raising events to assist the Committee in fulfilling its mandate include:
A Clarington Animal Day at Bowmanville Zoo
A fund-raising event to be held at Jungle Cat World
Various promotional/educational activities in conjunction with the Apple Festival
On going sale of T-shirts and other logo'd items
-
New Shelter:
The New Shelter Sub-Committee has been meeting so that they will be in a position to
provide input and support to staff once an initial renovation plan for the new site is
available. Our Committee believes that the diverse expertise of our members will allow
us to meaningfully participate in the new shelter in a way that will benefit the animals
who will ultimately occupy the facility and the staff who are responsible for their care.
Bvlaws & Policies:
The Bylaws & Policies Sub-Committee met recently to review the first draft of the
proposed vicious dog bylaw. The Sub-Committee made a variety of proposals for fine
tuning this bylaw and we anticipate the opportunity to review the draft bylaw again prior
to its formal presentation to Council.
The Sub-Committee also intends to conduct a review of all existing animal control
bylaws presently in force in the Municipality, so that the Committee will be in a position
to make positive contributions to any subsequent review of these bylaws by Council
with a view to consolidating and updating the Municipality's animal control bylaws.
Spav/Neuter:
The Spay/Neuter Sub-Committee most recently met in mid June and their report will be
received by the Committee at our July meeting. The alteration of animals in
conjunction with an effective system of animal identification continues to be the central
focus of this Sub-Committee's activities and I hope to be able to provide a more
detailed plan of action at my next quarterly presentation.
Education:
This fall we hope to expand our Education Sub-Committee's activities by developing:
in school animal education programs.
newspaper articles on matters of general interest to animal owners.
information brochures on specific animal care issues.
.
Continuation of Committee:
Committee's mandate ends in September of this year
Would like Council to consider (prior to summer recess) extending the Committee's
mandate at least a further 15 months to December 1998.
Two reasons to continue Committee:
The first is financial - the Committee (whose membership encompasses a truly
wide range of talents and expertise) donate their time for the benefit of the
animals of Clarington. The Committee is effectively self sufficient financially
except to the extent that some staff time is involved in the functioning of the
Committee. In terms of cost effectiveness the Committee delivers very good
value to the Municipality in the area of animal control issues.
The second reason to continue the Committee is that we will be able to achieve
results. Our Committee constitutes a valuable community resource in terms of:
increasing public awareness of animal education and animal care issues
and in terms of providing broad based support for the Animal Control
Department.
Respectfull Submitted June 23, 1997.
These are areas of community involvement in which we likely all agree more
activity is required. Here you have a group of organized, reasonable and
dedicated people who are committed to making a difference.
In conclusion, I hope that you will give us the opportunity to continue our efforts to
make Clarington a more pleasant place for animals that already have homes and
perhaps more importantly for those animals that have yet to find a family with which to
live.

Sandy Archibald, 6275 Liberty Street North, Bowmanville, LIC 3K6, advised that
the Durham Farm Fresh Marketing Association and the Tourism Association of
Durham Region have joined forces to organize ''The Durham Countryside
Adventure" September 13 and 14, 1997. Their mission is to provide an experience
in Durham's unique country and culture. The group's vision is to eventually open
involvement to all area municipalities within Durham Region, however, with the
leftover momentum from the Great Ganaraska Countryside Adventure resting in
this area, it made sense for Clarington to be the focus of the Durham Countryside
Adventure for 1997. Mrs. Archibald requested that the municipality show their
support for this tourism initiative by granting $5,000 to be used for promotion. In
appreciation of this support, a full page "Welcome to Clarington" will be placed in
the publication and tickets will be made available for the Mayor and Members of
Council.

Norm Leigh, Manager of Business and Development, Regional Municipality of
Durham, addressed Council with respect to the Greater Toronto Marketing
Alliance, a joint venture of Greater Toronto Municipalities in partnership with
the Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade. By including the private sector
partnerships, marketing and management expertise will be brought to the area
without duplication of existing work being undertaken by municipalities. Mr.
Leigh requested that the Municipality of Clarington provide funding to this
venture in the amount of $8,000 for 1997.
I
I
Kevin Holmes, 82 Sherwood Road East, Ajax, LIT 2Z2, addressed Council on
behalf of Henry Kortekaas, with respect to the Rezoning Application submitted
by Mr. Tomina for his property located at Hancock Road and Highway #2. Mr.
Holmes indicated that a great many of the issues have been resolved, however,
the implementation of the drainage plan is still outstanding. He indicated that
this is costly and, even upon completion, approval of the project is not
guaranteed. He requested that Council reconsider its position of requiring
drainage to be complete prior to approval of the project.

Councillor Elliott made a declaration of interest with respect to the delegation of
Jack Munday and vacated his chair. Councillor Elliott indicated that he is a
member of the Lions Club and has worked closely with John Rice in the
preparation of his submission for an Older Adults Centre.
I
Jack Munday, 145 High Street, Bowmanville, LIC 3B9, addressed Council on
behalf of the Bowmanville Lions Club. He stated that the Lions Club was
disappointed with the General Purpose and Administration Committee's decision
of June 2, 1997 and also with the treatment they have received from the Older
Adults Committee. Mr. Munday stated that by locating the Older Adult Centre
at the Lions Centre, the Committee would be gaining more space, more parking,
mature trees and a much quieter space than if it was to locate on the Rice
property on Scugog Street. Mr. Munday also informed Council that with the
decrease in revenue-generating functions, together with increased costs, the Lions
will be in a position where they will need to sell their facility within two years.

Ron Hooper, Bowmanville Business Improvement Area, 5 Silver Street,
Bowmanvilte, LlC 3C2, addressed Council with respect to Report WD-36-97 -
Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Works Extension. Mr. Hooper advised that the
approval of the recommendations contained in this report, will assist with the
revitalization program which has been envisioned for the Bowmanville B.I.A.
Councillor Elliott made a declaration of interest with respect to the delegation of
Don Welsh and vacated his chair. Councillor Elliott indicated that he is a
member of the Bowmanville Lions Club and he has worked closely with John
Rice in preparing his proposal for the Older Adult Centre.
Don Welsh, 4280 Mearns Avenue, Bowmanville, LlC 3K5, addressed Council
with respect to Report ADMIN-26-97. He requested that Council approve the
submission by John Rice and Daros Investments for the establishment of an
Older Adult Centre and provided details of monies paid to the Bowmanville
Lions Centre for use of that facility in the past.
Councillor Dreslinski made a declaration of interest with respect to the
delegations of Clay Taylor and Debbie Pearl and vacated her chair. Councillor
Dreslinski indicated that her son is employed by International Motorsports Group
Inc.
Clay Taylor, President, North Clarington Ratepayers Association, P.O. Box 346,
Orono, LOB IMO, addressed Council in support of the recommendations
contained in the Addendum to Report CD-26-97. He stated that he believes that
more studies would be useless at this time and he looks forward to working with
IMSG in making their season a success.
Debbie Pearl, Vice-President and CFO, International Motorsports Group Inc.,
65 Queen Street West, Suite 1000, Toronto, M5H 2M5, addressed Council with
respect to Addendum to Report CD-26-97. She introduced John Coulter, Sound
Engineer, and advised that they have not had a great deal of time to assess the
proposed by-law amendments, particularly in the manner in which the by-laws will
affect their core business, of the road course. She stated that they require time to
ensure that the by-law will not impact on that core business as they want to bring
Mosport back to the world class standard it once enjoyed. It is their opinion that
the by-law is missing some very important issues and the restrictions are
prohibitive. Ms. Pearl requested that Council not pass the by-laws at this time
and allow Mosport an opportunity to pull together a plan of how they can move
forward with their planned activities.

BUSINESS EDUCATION TAX REVIEW PANEL
Consultation Backgrounder
On April 17. 1997, the Government appointed a panel of representatives from the business
community to advise on the issue of education property taxes on business.
Education property taxes are currently the largest property tax paid by business in Ontario at
about $3.5 billion per year. Effective business education tax rates (taxes as a percentage of
estimated current value) vary considerably across the province and between property
classes. This variation arises from decisions made in the past. such as: local school board
spending and taxing decisions: generally higher rates of Business Occupancy Tax on
industrial properties than on commercial properties: and differences in the relative growth of
property values.
The Panel's mandate is to consult with business, municipalities and other groups and advise
the government on how to equitably set property tax rates for education for commercial I
Industrial properties. taking Into account the economic realities of different regions. sectors
and sizes of business in Ontario. The m'ain questions are:
Tax Rate Structure
. Should there be one or more province-wide property tax rates for education?
. Should rates vary by size of business. sector. geographic area, munldpatity, school
board. or business activity and why?
Affordabilitv
-~ .
. How important is certainty In property taxation levels to business?
What is business' ability to absorb changes in tax levels?
Transition
. Is it better to move quickly to the new system?
. Should changes in the tax rates be phased in, to what extent and how?
The Panel will not address the amount of property, tax revenue to be collected from business
for education. The reform of the business tax on' educatiOn will be revenue-neutral-
province-wide, revenues collected will remain the same. The Panel will not advise on the
distribution of these tax revenues to school boards - school board budgets will be set by the
Province in order to ensure access to high quality education province-wide. The Panel's
mandate also excludes providing advice on property assessment Business properties. like
other properties in Ontario. will be assessed at their current value on a regular basis.

MUNICIPALITIES GIVEN NEW LABOUR RELATIONS TOOLS
TO COPE WITH CHANGING MUNICIPAL WORKFORCE
THE ISSUE:
AMO has reviewed and summarized a 33 page communications package on the Introduction of the
Public Sector Transition StabHity Aot, 1997. ThIs important new legislation, If passed, could give
municipalities tools to deal with restruoturing and other workforce changes resulting from Who Does
What.
THE FACTS:
On Tuesday June 3, 1997. the Honourable ERZabeth Wilmer, Minister of Labour, Introduced the Public Seelor
Transnion Stability Act. This new labour legislation, If passed. is Intended to give municipalities, and other broader
public sector employers, Including hospitals and school boards. the tools thay need to deal with a number of oommon
labour relations Issues. The Act may be extended. by regulation, to oover local utilities and other special purpose
municipal bodies where the utility or special purpose body Is Involved In a merger or amalgamation.
For the past several months, espeolally stnce the Who Does W/Jal announcements, AMO has been Impre5$lng upon
the Province, the need to development a comprehenSIve approach to dealing with common labour relations issues
resulting from restructUring and amalgamations and lhe realignment of provlnolal and municipal responslbl1llles. The
new labour legislation Introduced today clearly Indicates thatlhey have heard AMO's message.
In her statement to the House, Minister Witmer made [t very clear that,the Province \\'Quid not be eliminating anyone's
successor rights and that they would not be overTidlng or changIng any eXisting collective agreements. As well, the
Minister confirmed that contracting out is stili a viable opllon but Is an issue lor negotiations between the affected
parlies.
There are lour components 01 the Public S8cCor Transition Stabllily Act
Public Seelor Labour Relations Transition Act
Publio Sector Dispute Resolution Acl
Amendments to the Pay Equity Aot
Amendments to the Employment Standards Act O.e. winding down the Employee Wage Protection Program and
severance pay provisions)
Highlights are as follows:
.
Restructuring/Amalgamation related provIsions
Public Sealor Labour Relations Transnlon Actio encourage collectiVe bargaining but establishes a process
to resolve outstanding Issues ..
_ establishes a temporary (probably about 4 yelll$) labOur Re\alions Transition CommissIon (LRTC) to help
resolve the high volume of complex labour relations Issues arisIng from amalgamations and restructuring.
Aller four years, there would be a relum to lradltional collecllVe bargaining.
. LATC could deal with suoh Issues as hoW employees might be grouped for collective bargaining purposes
or determining whIch union would represent employees. Where a slgnlflcant majority of employees are
represented by one union. no vote Is required and that union represents the employees. Where twO unions
are involved, no vote Is necessary If one represents more than 75% of the employees. In these cases ot
signifICant majority, the existing agreement c:an remain. One significant chl!-nge Is that where at least 40 per
cent 01 lhe employees In a bargainIng unit are not unionized, employees will be able to choOse whether or
not to be represented by a union when a vote Is taken (which occurs under defined circumstances).

Municipalities Given New Labour Relations Tools...
. In the event of restructuring or an amalgamation, there Is a provision for a "composite collective agreement"
(made up of all previous collective agreements) that oan stay in place for up to one year to give employers
time to determine how to proceed. This Includes protection for non-unionized employees during this interim
stage. They would continue to be oovered by their previous contract of employment during this period.
with respect to colleollve bargaining, currenl optlons still exist but also there is a provision in the Act which
gives either party the opportunity to give notice 10 bargain a new or revised oollective agreement following
an amalgamation or merger
provisions lhat non-bargalnlng unit employee's seniority will be respected (i.e. equal recognition Is given to
the years of service for unionized and non-unionized employees)
. Dispute Resolutions/arbitration related provisions
Public Sector Dispute Resolution Act permanently reforms the dispute resolutions process for fire, police and
hospital sectors where strikes and lookouts are not allowed
. establishes a permanent Dispute Resolution CommiSSIon (DRC) with Lieutenant Governor appOinting
commissioners. The CommiSSIon has a number of powers, Including the ability to settle the terms of the
collective agreements in the fire, police and hospital sectors If agreement not reached and choosing the most
appropriate method for dispute resolution. IV. the request of either party, It oan administer a binding dispute
resolution process during a flrst contract negotiation following a municipal amalgamation (i.e. the first post-
amalgamation collectIVe agreement).
encourages settlements through collective bargaining but where not possible, emphasis on resolving disputes
quickly
where both parties agree, option remains to have disputes resolVed privately (i.e. not by the Commission)
if a dispute Is referred to the Commission~ there is no recourse to strikes or lockouts with respect to the first-
agreement negotiations
. Pay Equity and t=mp/oyment Standards related provisions
. reforms to the Pay Equity Aot provide more llexiblllty In making a new pay equily plan following an
amalgamation, merger or sale of business (requirement to establish a new plan If old one Is Inappropriate)
. where muniolpallties amalgamate and there are several pay equity packages the new munlolpal employer
Is not bound to adopt the "best one", but rather, can negotiate a new one that makes sense and is appropriate
to the new municipality
. provisions to clarify the responslbility of the new employer ~arding retroactive pay equity claims (i.e. limits
unanticipated pay equity liability potentially dating back lQ,1990)
. clarification that home ohild care providers are not considered empioyees of the municipalities for purposes
of pay equity ,
amendments to the Employment standards Ad. regarding severance pay for employees transferring from the
Ontario publlo Sector (OPS) to the broader publio sector (BPS) Introduced to prevent "double dipping" (I.e.
provisions to ensure that transferring employees are entitled to one severance package only, The new
employer has the option to have the T\9W employee's severance obligations transferred)
NEXT STEPS:
In order to maximize Its usefulness, this legislation needs to be In place by January 1, 199B to coincide with the transfer
of many new responsibilities and proVIncial employees to the broader public sector. Accordingly, the time line for
having this legislation passed Is very tight. The Province aims to have the sm receive Second Reading during this
legislative session and hold oommlttee hearings through the summer. The goal \s to have the proolalmed this Fall.
AMO will continue to \<eep you Informed as this Bill goes through the legislative process.

AGENDA
Mayor Hamre and Members of Council,
Early in the spring, we requested and were granted permission to place a bench at
Bowmanville Cemetery in memory of Craig Green and Grant Flintoff. We want to thank
you for allowing us the opportunity of remembering these two special people.
We would also like to pass on our appreciation to Gary Cox and his crew who
generously offered their help, by picking up the bench for us and setting it up. At the
south end of the cemetery, it looks good sitting between the trees.
Already, we have heard positive comments from people visiting the cemetery
about the bench. We know that it will be used and ~oyed by many. An inscribed plate
will be added to the bench in the near future.
Thank you again for helping us fulfill our wish. '-_ ....__.._..

II Dear Municipal and Provincial Colleague:
I
Re: WHO DOES WHAT A WOW EDUCATION AND TRAINING PARTNERSHIP
We are pleased to inform you that Provincial Ministries and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario
have fonn:d a partnership for the development of an education and training initiative related to changes
resulting from Who Does What. AMO is supported in this endeavour by a number of lI1II1Iicipal staff
associations, including the Ontario Municipal Administrators Association, the Association of Municipal
Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario, the Municipal F'mance Officers Association, the Ontario Good Roads
Association, the Municipal Engineers Association, the Ontario Urban Transit Association, the Ontario
Municipal Social Services Association and the Regional QUef :~dministrative Officers.
The province and the municipal sector share a nun1ber of objectives including the need for a smooth
tIllllSition so that the 'customer' experiences no break in the provision of services. We also share a desire
for strong, capable self-reliant municipal governments and an effective redefmed, positive provinclal-
municipal relationship. A joint education and training framework will help meet these objectives. In
addition, it will achieve the following outcomes:
· An acoeIerated, co-ordinated WOW education and. training program that makes efficient use of
time and resources.
. A deIiYer:y approach that embraces fair access for those in need of WDW education and training
and that recognizes existing education and training strategies of municipal associations.
What does this education and training partnership look-like? The partnership will be led by a joint
Managemenr Committee. Provincial representation will iilvolve MMAH, MNDM, OMAFRA and MCSS
and Cabinet Office's Centre for Leadership. AMO and an administrative official representing the basic
types of Ontario municipalities - upper tiers, large and small municipaIilles and northern Ontario will
represent the 1DIIIicipal sector. The Management Committee will develop and ovel'See the eltCCll,tion of
an education lIDd training work plan to meet the needs of municipal and provincial staff. The work. plan
will deal with arnicu1um preparation and delivery, its related communications and the monitoring and
evaluation of training activities.

This committee's work will be supported by anAdvisory Group consisting of a representative from each
of the Provincial Ministries involved in the WOW transferS as wen as the nRmicipal associations whose
memben1hip is affected by those transfers. The Advisory Group will provide advice to the Management
Committee as wen as identify the appropriate staff and association members to form project teams that
will carry out some of the specific work plan actiVities.
How will this education and training framework relate to the WDWTransition Teams? The Transition
Teams are responsible for identifying implementation issues related to the government's WDW policy
decisions and for providing advk:e on how best to resolve these matters. It is this 'output' that wlll form
the content for the education and training cuniculum and inform the delivery activities.
The initial focus of education and training will be JIII1IIicipal staff. elected officials as well as provincial
staff to ensure a smooth transition of service delivery come 1anuary I, 1998.
You will be kept informed as the work of the education and training Management Committee
progresses, If you have any questions or particular interests related to this activity, please contact either
Sue McDonald, MMAH, (416) 585-4237 or Pat Vanini, AMO, (416) 971-9856 ext. 316.

Bar
II June 6.1997
II Dear Friends. MlJf\IlCIPAUTV Of CLARINGTON
! MAYOR'S OFFICE
i I know you are enjoying the arrival of the summer
II' I weather as much as I am. It's great to see our City
. come alive with people planting their gardens,
i I relaxing at outdoor cafes and just strolling.
; It's the time we can actually see what we've
i I accomplished when citizens work in partnership
I with local government. Perhaps seeing Toronto at
, its best underlines the question many of you may be
,
I I asking: what kind of City wiII we have when the
I summer of 1998 rolls around? We all know that a
! lot of major changes are on the horizon.
II ' .
] The forced amalgamation of the seven Metro
i municipalities by January I, 1998 is being rushed
I. I into place with little time for proper discussion and
. preparation. I delivered this message -- Slow Down
II and Get it Right -- to the provincial government last
I February and it's still true today. Now,
1 municipalities are scrambling to plan for
'. I amalgamation and trying to cope with the many
l challenges it poses.
JUN 1 6 1997
ITO guide the City through this process, I proposed,
and Council appro\'ed, a number of principles. We
are now working to ensure that the best programs
land policies of our City are retained in the new
Toronto -- whether they be recreational programs,
public health services or redeveloping the
Idowntown. To make sure. citizens have a say, City .
Council is holding a public consultation meeting
Ion Thursday, June 26th at 7 p.m. in the City Hall
Council Chambers, For more information, call
392-7833.
I
Hall
AGENDA
Because of the strong opposition to amalgamation
as expressed in the referendum, work has also
continued on a legal challenge to the City of
Toronto Act, 1997.
More than 100 citizens and five municipalities have
joined forces to challenge the megacity legislation
under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The case
wiII be heard the week of July 7th.
All the activity around amalgamation has obscured
the fact that the province has not addressed the
criticl}! issue of how the Greater Toronto Area
should be governed. In the coming months, I wiII
continue to press Queen's Park to establish an
effective and responsible body to co-ordinate
economic development and service delivery within
theGTA.
Meanwhile, the province has charged ahead with its
downloading plan. Even with recently announced
changes to the proposal, Metro property taxpayers
wiII be on the hook for over $300 million in added
costs.
: Downloading wiII result in more, not less,
confusion over managing such services as welfare,
education and housing. I continue to work with
other Ontario mayors and the Federal government to
try to stop the' transfer of social housing to
municipalities.

These are some of the challenges facing our City in
the months ahead. But there are also many positive
signs and opportunities, as well.
If you recently received your tax bill, you'll notice
that City taxes have been frozen for the fifth
consecutive year, despite steadily declining
financial support from senior governments. We
have been able to continue providing quality
services and programs to citizens. I'm proud of the
careful planning work by council and City staff
which has made this possible.
I am particularly pleased that the City's budget also
includes additional funds to help alleviate youth
unemployment, homelessness and hunger. To
support our vibrant arts sector, we have provided a
new transition fund to soften the impact of
provincial and federal cutbacks. This makes
Toronto the only level of government which has
actually increased funding for these important
initiatives.
As you travel around Toronto, you'll see more and
more construction projects. Building cranes are
everywhere, a sure sign that the economy is on the
move. New buildings are going up and older ones
are being converted for housing and a myriad of
other uses. Building pennits in the first quarter of
this year are up 19 per cent over 1996.
There are exciting developments underway in the
downtown, including the revitalization of the King-
Spadina and King_Parliament areas. The "Kings"
are humming now that Council has dramatically
revised the planning process there. Buildings
throughout the downtown are filling up and the
vacancy rate in most premier towers is noW below
five per cent, an encouraging decline compared to
last year. As well, new neighbourhoods will be
springing up in the area south of the CN Tower and
further afield on the fonner Greenwood race-track.
'.-1-
<.~,_1C--
:,y.
The Yonge-Dundas rejuvenation project is a big
boost for both Yonge Street and our City's
economy. Involving five city blocks, plans for the
area include a civic square, a hotel and other retail
outlets. These changes will bring families, shoppers
and tourists back to our main street again.
It's clear from all this activity that Toronto has a
reputation as a good place in which to invest.
But we can't sit back and assume that investment
and jobs will automatically flow here.
I
I
I
I
I

I
I
I have been working hard to find new and exciting
ways to promote Toronto.1 have established a direct
marketing campaign for the City of Toronto to
capitalize on our Fortune magazine ranking as the
world's best city in which to live and work. We are
agressively seeking jobs and investment beyond
Canada in specific sectors.
Recognizing the need to nurture the companies and
jobs which are here now, we have developed
FastForward, Toronto's economic development
sttategy. The aim is to support key sectors such as
fmlmce, business services, knowledge-based
industries and retail.
I'd like to hear from you on these or any other
issues. The contact numbers are at the bottom of
this page. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to
seeing you out and about at the festivals and

Rc: Modification to Guidelines for the Decommissioning Process
and possible Land Designation as Contaminated Site(s)
JUN 1 2 1997

MAYOR'S OFFICE
Dear Mr. Sterling,

During September-December 1996, Solina site ( 3242 Solina Rd.), which is outside ofthe
urban boundary with no plan for municipal water extension, and is designated as
agricultural with environmental sensitivity as groundwater recharge for cold stream
creek which runs through the prpvincially significant wetland, received fill from the
former GM site. now owned by the' City ofOshawa.
The contractor for the City of Oshawa must have been aware of how sensitive this area is
because he was working that same year for a developer on groundwater recharge/discharge
studies not only tor his area but for most of the watershed including the Solina site. The
contractor for the Solina site should also be knowledgeable of sites he was working on. Mr.
Rod Adams from MOEE who was in charge of Decommissioning process of the Oshawa site
was unaware of the sensitivity of this area, since on aneighbouring site, which is also located
outside of urban boundary, has a For Sale sign'shtting that the site is fully serviced.
Unfortunately, not only is this site not on muniCipal water supply but also four main roads
down to the west all residents depend on this groundwater for their well water supply.
Because of the naturaL water flow and the positioning of the Solina site, the groundwater in
the area. west and southwest of this site may be contaminated. We are enclosing the tests that
have been done on this soil. Lead. DDT. DDD and DDE score above Ontario Guidelines
and even though the other elements and chemicals are at or below the allowable level.
the number of them present in this soil is simply not suitable for a groundwater recharge
area. In time. this will all be deposited in the Second Marsh in Oshawa, another provincially
significant wetland and eventually Lake Ontario to which this cold stream creek drains.

The included tests are only basic, other tests like for acids, etc. were not performed yet. Even
though our conservation authority and MOEE l!,re wor~ing here on solving this case, along
with the help of our Regional Councillor, the :process is' very sLow and we may be paying tor
that. Therefore we are respectfully requesting not only tor us but for any future
misunderstanding that the GUIDELINES please be modified to serve the pubLic's safety and
health. These guidelines were not well thought out by the previous government. On page
I-The Introduction states: "These guidelines have been prepared to provide for an efficient
and effective process to decommissioning facilities and CLEAN-UP THE
ENVIRONMENT." On the same page, The Definitions state: "The te.rm 'clean-up' means

the restoration of a contaminated site to ENSURE THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN
HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT." Because the Guidelines are not complete
enough, in our case the contaminated soil was removed trom a commercial site and placed in
an enviromentally sensitive area, and all that was done without our municipal government
knowing of its disposal here.
Thus, what we are asking for is that some clause should be added to these guidelines
that the municipality to which the soil is planned to be deposited is contacted first and
that the matter should be discussed with all those involved and that such soil could be
deposited to sites that do not impose on the groundwater or any othel' sensitive area.
This statement would serve possible future fill sites only. Unfortunately for us the only help
would be ifthis site, and possibly other four sites in Clarington where the soil redistribution
took place (all of which are located in environmental sensitive areas), would be designated
as CONTAMINATED site(s) and should be cleaned-up by the landowners.
Thank you tor understanding.
Yours sincerely,
Libby Racansky, Stan Rac

Based on Freshwater Series A-5, Environment Canada(highlight points)
What goes down, must come up
The groundwater is a hidden resource whose value is not well understood or appreciated. Our
image of Canada is of a land of sparkling lakes, rivers a glaciers. Groundwater, is not part of this
picture.
Groundwater needs protection
Even when we might not use it directly as a drinking water supply we must still protect
groundwater, since it will cany contaminants and pollutants from the land into the lakes and
rivers from which people get a large percentage of their water supply.
What is groundwater
It is sometimes thought that water flows through underground rivers or that it collects in
underground lakes. Groundwater is not confined to only a few channels or depressions in the
same way that surface water is concentrated in streams and lakes. It is found underground in the
snaces between narticles of rock and soil. or in crevices and cracks in rock The level below
which all the spaces are filled with water is called the water table.
Groundwater- A major link in the hydrologic cycle
......:
Groundwater circulates as part of the hydrologic cycle. As precipitation and other surface water
sources recharge the groundwater it drains steadily, and sometimes very slowly, towards its
discharge point.
Groundwater doesn't stay underground forever, and it doesn't lie still waiting for us to draw it
from a well.
When precipitation falls on the land surface, part of the water runs off into the lakes and rivers.
Some of the water seeps into soil and percolates into the saturated zone. This process is called
recharl!e. Places where recharl!e occurs are referred to as rechllTl!e areas.
Eventually, this water reappears above the ground. This is called discharl!e.
-
Groundwater discharge can contribute significantly to surface water flow. In dry neriods. the
flow of some streams mav be supplied entirelv bv groundwater. The nature of underground
formations bas a profound effect on the volume of surface runoff.

Groundwater usage in Canada
In Canada, ove six million people rely on groundwater for domestic use. In many areas, welts
produce more reliable and less expensive water supplies than those obtained from nearby lakes,
rivers and streams.
How we contaminate groundwater
Any addition of undesirable substances to groundwater caused by human activities is considered
to be contamination. It has often been assumed that contaminants left on or under the ground
witt stav there. This has been shown to be wishfutt thinking. Groundwater often snreads the
effects of dumns and snilts far bevond the site of the original contamination. Groundwater
contamination is extremelv difficult and sometimes imoossible . to clean un.
When either of these occur in or near sand and gravel aquifers, the ootential for widesnread
contamination is the greatest
The cost of cleaning up contaminated water supplies is unusually extremely high.
Once an aquifer is contaminated, it may be unusable for decades, it may be anywhere from two
weeks or years.
Furthermore, the effects of groundwater contamination do not end with the loss of well-water
supplies. Several studies have documented the migration of contaminants from disposal or spill
sites to nearby lakes and rivers as this groundwater passes through the hydrologic cycle, but the
process are not as yet well understood. Preventing cotitamination in the fJI'St place is by far
the most practical solution to the problem. This can be accomplished by the adoption of
effective groundwater management practices by governments, industries and all
Canadians. Although progress is being made in this direction, efforts are hampered by a
serious shortage of groundwater experts and a general lack of knowledge about how
groundwater behaves.
Safeguarding our groundwater supply
Groundwater is an essential resource. Contamination of groundwater is a serious problem in
Canada. It is preferable to prevent contamination from happening in the first place; the impacts
of hazardous materials reduced by RESTRlCflNG ACCESS TO RECHARGE AREAS.
Both as a society as a society and as individuals, we must. keep in mind groundwater's
susceptibility to contamination.
Groundwater is just as important as the spar1ding lakes and rivers of our postcard image of
Canada. THIS NATIONAL TREASURE MAY BE "HIDDEN," BUT IT MUST NOT BE
FORGOTEN.

Dear Mayor Hamre:
RE: JOINT STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
URBAN DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE AND CONSERVATION ONTARIO
During the Fall 1996, the Urban Development Institute/Ontario and the GTA-based Conservation
Authorities (through their association Conservation Ontario) held a series of meetings to discuss
the role of conservation authorities in Ontario's new land use planning environment, the services
that they provide and the funding for the delivery of these services. On May 27, 1997, a Joint
Statement of Understanding was produced which represents the consensus that was achieved
between our two organizations in the areas of:
. the Conservation Authority's Role; .,
. plan input and plan review services; ,
. service funding and fees implementation;
. alternative plan review models; and,
. the provision of baseline information.
Continued dialogue will be necessary to ensure that the partnership between municipalities,
conservation authorities and the development industry is enhanced, but the Statement should
serve as an important building block in this regard.
We have attached a copy of the Statement for your information but we look forward to
d~ ,,, ="'" W;ID yoo in tho -- fuWre. Shmdd yoo ha~ my '''''''1 ~TION

JOINT STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
The Urban Development Institute/Ontario
2025 Sheppard Avenue East
Suite 2208
WilIowdale, Ontario
M2J IV6
Conservation Ontario
(Representing the GTA-Based Conservation Authorities)
170 Bayview Parkway

Newmarket, Ontario
L3Y 4W3
The Urban Development Institute/Ontario (VOl), the GTA-based Conservation Authorities and the office
of Conservation Ontario (fonnerly the Associaition of Conservation Authorities of Ontario) have held a
series of meetings during the Fall of 1996 to discuss the role of Conservation Authorities in Ontario's new
land use planning environment, the services that they pro~i4e and the funding for the delivery of these
services. We have reviewed various municipal planning i1i1plementation matters with a stated goal of
reducing duplication, streamlining processes and establishing a fair and equitable funding mechanism for
the delivery of planning services. While it is acknowledged that the Boards of Directors have the right to
set strategic direction for their individual Conservation Authorities, the following represents the consensus
that has been achieved in the areas of:
. the Conservation Authority's role;
. plan input and plan review services;
. service funding and fees implementation;
. alternative plan review models; and,
. the provision of baseline infonnation.
Conservation Authority's Role
. As part of the Government's broad flSC3l and Strategic objectives, the province has set out to reduce
its commenting role in land use planning. Provincial funding support for Conservation Authority
activities has also been narrowed, through recent legislative and policy changes, to reflect a
narrowed provincial role. This has not, however, impacted the mandate of Conservation Authorities
as stated in Section 20 of the Conservation Authorities Act, "The objects of on authority are to
establish and undertake, in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further
the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources other than gas,
oil. coal and minera/sH (R.S.O. 1980, C.85, s.20).

· It is understood that a healthy economy is vital to Ontario's long term prosperity. Wiseiy managed
growth can result in communities which are economically and environmentally sound and which
meet the full range of needs of their current and future residents. The Conservation Authority's role
in protecling the environment and public health pursuant to the Provincial Policy Statement, must
be balanced by the need to promote efficient, cosl-effective development and land use patterns
which stimulate economic growth. Accordingly, the role and interests of the Conservation Authority
should be integrated with the role and interests of other agencies involved in the land use planning
system.
. In casting a decision on land use planning matters, the approval authority shall have regard for the
policies contained in the provincial Policy Statement and locally developed and approved
environmental policies as well. As part of the decision-making process, the approval authority will
consider all relevant information provided by the Conservation Authority and other commenting
agencies but it is understood that their decision is appealable to the Ontario Municipal Board.
Plan Input and Review Services .....
. Provincial plan input will continue to be provided on broad, policy oriented documents but will be
restricted to Regional OPs, Regional OPAs, lower-tier OPs and lower-tier OPAs (including
Secondary Plans) which, ....in the opinion of the Region are not minor and add, delete or revise
policy that has a general impact on provincial policy interests.... Conservation Authorities will
provide input on these applications directly to the approval authority where it will be rationalized
with the input from all other commenting agencies. The .one-window. approach of the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs and Housing will be uSed to coordinate comments of all Ministries before a
provincial position is offered to the approval authority.
. Provincial plan review responsibilities are being transtclred to municipalities across Ontario and are
usually defined by Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) or similar agreements. As such, the
provincial Ministries will no longer be reviewing sile specific local OPAs, subdivisions,
condominiums, zoning by-laws and amendments, consents, part lot control by-laws, minor variances
and site plans. In many cases, municipalities are choosing to engage Conservation Authorities to
provide many of these plan review services and, in so doing, are developing formal and informal
bilateral agreements to specifically define the nature and extent of their function. Clearly, it is at
the discretion of the municipalities as to how the provincial land use poliCy interests are to be
protected and coordinated with other agencies.
. Conservation Authorities provide information, analysis and recommendations to municipal decision
makers regarding matters of natural hazard management as part of their plan input and plan review
services. This includes commenting on flood plain management matters and areas subject to
flooding, erosion, dynamic beaches along the sborelin~ of the Great Lakes -Sl Lawrence River
System, riverine erosion, slope instability and.soil instability such as in areas of high water tables,
organic or peat soils and leda or sensitive marine clay soils. They will continue to perform this role.
Further, they will continue to provide recommendations which integrate regulatory requirements
regarding Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulations.

!
. Additional plan review responsibilities associated with natural heritage and valley land conservation
may be outlined in an agreement between the Conservation Authority and its member municipalities
but this is not required. Conservation Authority recommendations will integrate regulatory
requirements regarding Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulalions.
It is recognized, however, that UDI has concems over the nature and extent of the Conservation
Authority's plan input and review role on natural heritage matters which are not specifically
delegated to the Conservation Authority by the Ministry of Nalural Resources or its individual
member municipalities through agreement.
. Conservation Authorities may provide comments to municipal decision makers which are not
outlined in formal agreements, in both plan input and plan review processes, which reflect watershed
related programs and policies that have been approved by the Conservation Authority and where
there is an opportunity for input into the development of these policies, These comments will be
clearly identified as those of a circulated review agency under the Planning Act.
.
The Conservation Authority's plan review comments and advice will be provided in the context of
.' the policies and land use designations of the approved Official Plan. However, in cases where these
policies are at variance with the Provincial Policy Statement or any other locally approved policy
of a Conservation Authority, then the latter shall be reflected in the Conservation Authority's
comments to the approval authority. While the Conservation Authority is obligated to inform the
approval authority of these potential discrepancies, it also acknowledges that its comments could
significantly.impact private interests and should therefore be offered with due care.
.
Based on. .Section 21 of the Conservation Authority Act,. it is understood that a Conservation
Authority... has power to study and investigate the watershed and to determine a program whereby
the natural resources of the watershed may be conserved, restored, developed and manage..
However, it is also acknowledged that these programs and associated policies could have broad and
significant impacts on private interests and, .accordingly, they should be approved by the
Conservation Authority with relevant consultation with all affected and interested parties.
Funding and User Fees
. The matter of charging fees and the specific funding arrangements will be determined by agreement
between the conservation authority and its member municipalilies.
. There is a clear distinction between plan input and plan review services and, according to the MOUs,
the level of provincial involvement in each. As a result, the extent of approval authority effort and,
by way of memoranda of agreement, the effort of the Conservation Authority will differ as well.
Any associated fees framework for a Conservation Authority must reflect this distinction to ensure
that costs are fairly and equitably dislribuled:amongst those who benefit.
. Provincial plan inpul will conlinue to be provided on broad, policy orienled documents which
bencfil an entire municipality or a size;lble portion thereof. The. funding agreement supporting
Conservation Authority input on these documents should reflect this broad benefit.

.
For site specific applications, it may be appropriate for the costs of Conservation Authority review
to be borne by those landowners who directly benefit. In eases where a user fee system for plan
review is proposed, the following fundamental principles should be respected:
I. fees will be reasonable, easily justifiable and designed to recover but not exceed the
complete costs of delivering the plan review service;
2. a hierarchy offees will be set based on the complexity of the application and the level of
effort necessary to review it;
3. . fees between neighbouring Conservation Authorities should be consistent to the grealest
extenl possible. It is recognized, however, that approval authorities may have significantly
different approaches which will impact on the fees that they charge;
4. fees will not duplicate provincial funding, municipal levies and/or fees or any other
contributions directed at the plan review function. Every effort will be made to rationalize
. the Conservation Authority's fees with the application and review fees of the upper and
lower tier municipalities;
5. fee establishment will contain a consultation process with all relevant stakeholders:
6. fees may be collected under authority of the Planning Act or the Conservation Authorilies
Act. The selection of the preferred mechanism for charging fees will be decided by the
municipality and local Conservation Authority and will be based on local administrative
procedures.
.
Planning applications are submitted to and approved by. approval authorities under the powers of the
Planning Act, with input and comment from conservaiiOn authorities in the areas of natural hazard
and natural heritage. Accordingly, UDI believes that the charging of fees for Conservation
Authorities to provide certain plan review services on behalf of the approval authorities should be
done under Section 69 of the Planning Act to properly reflect this relationship and to provide the
necessary reduction, waiver and appeal rights. Conservation Authorities will ensure that
municipalities are aware of this position during their discussions at the local level. If Section
21 (m. I) of the Conservation Authorities Act is utilized, then the Ministry of Natural Resources'
.Policies and Procedures for the Charging of Conservation Authorities Fees. will apply.
.
The principle of .who should pay. for plan input aI'1d plan review services provided by the
Conservation Authority, should be gykkj1 by the following:
A. Plan input on municipally/generally benefitting documents should reflect this benefit and
should be financed through municipal levy, grant or equivalent and will cover:
. official plans
. official plan amendments/secondary plans - policy, growth and settlement
. comprehensive by-laws. zoning (land use), special purpose i.e. topsoil removal, ravine
control, tree removal
. zoning by-law amendments - pennitted uses, development standards
. municipal studies - land use, natural systems, subwatershed servicing studies, growth
management studies, environmental master plans, flood plain mapping, master
drainage/servicing plans, etc.
B, Plan review and technical clearance of site specific applications or development proposals
should be financed through user fees and will cover:
. minor variances
. plans of condominium
. site plans
. consents - new lots, technical adjustments
. part lot control by-laws
. plans of subdivision
. private sector site specific zoning by-laws and amendments
. private sector site specific official plan amendments
. It is understood that with the imposition of user fees comes the responsibility to ensure that a
. Conservation Authority's review is timely, clear and complete.
. Conservation Authorities and their member municipalities should give priority to developing a
"screening" mechanism to avoid the unnecessary review of site specific applications and the
imposition of an associated fee.
. Plan review fees which have been paid by a proponent since the proclamation of Bill 26, but
imposed as an interim. measure by a Conservation Authority, should be held in trust and, if
necessary, partly refunded based on the amounts contained in a new Fee Schedule imposed pursuant
to this Joint Statement of Understanding.
. ,
..~
Alternative Plan Review Models
. In areas where MOUs exist, the approval authorities and the Province have jointly committed to
exploring altemalive plan review mechanisms which have as their objective, a more cost-effective,
streamlined and efficient approvals process. The following alternative plan review models exist and
may be considered by the approval authority to fulfil this objective:
A. Peer Review - The approval authority could retain a consultant/peer to provide a specific
plan review service, including that which is currently being provided by the Conservation
Authority.
B. Approval Authority Tendering - The approval authority could retain a consultant who
undertakes the work on their behalf, b.ut who is ultimately paid for by the development
proponent. Under Ihis model, Ihe pllln review service is eliminated.
C. Accredited Consultanl - A very limited plan review service is provided because the
proponent's consultant has obtained an "accreditation" which. ensures that the work to be
undertaken is acceptable to the approval authority.
~
. Sufficient discussion between UDI and ACAO regarding altemative plan review models has not yet
occurred nor is it necessarily an appropriate topic of discussion between the two organizations. It
is recognized, however, that Ihe approval authorities will be examining the performance of the
Conservation Authority in providing the plan review service as part of their memoranda of
agreement and, in so doing, may consider alternative models.
. It is recognized that ACAO believes that these alternative plan review models developed by a
municipality cannot effectively respond to the full range of watershed issues and services which are
required and delivered by Conservation Authorities.
Baseline Services
. At present, the vast majority of information used to complement approval authority decisions as it
relates to provincial and often local environmental policies, has come from Conservation Authorities
and other public sector bodies. Examples include flood line mapping, environmentally sensitive area
reports and fish habitat studies; -The decision as to how best to acquire the information necessary
. 10 support the plan input service on the broad, policy oriented documents which are generally
benefitting (as referred to on Page 4), will remain with the public sector.
. Information used to support site specific applications or development proposals (as referred to on
Page 4), should be provided by the proponent. This allows the proponent to obtain independent
advice and would avoid potentially conflicting situations where the Conservation Authority is the
provider and reviewer of the same information. Conservation'Authorities will, however, make every
effort to provide whatever data it has to assist the proponent in the proposal development.
, "
,
The undersigned hereby agree to share and discuss this Joint Statement of Understanding with their full
membership and to circulate it widely to approval authorities and municipalities across Ontario to form
important input into local deliberations. The undersigned also agree to monitor and review the
implementation of this Statement and to meet on a semi-annual basis to discuss its success in acheiving the
common objectives of both organizalions.

at the June 4th launch of Kawartha Water Watch. Designed In partnership
with Sir Sandford Fleming College, Kawartha Water Watch is a community
based monitoring program. "Water is indeed an Important element to the
fabric of the Kawarthas and the quali~ of that water profoundly affects all of
us who live in and enjoy the Kawarthas, Whether It be for drinking, or
swimming, or fishing, or aesthetic enjoyment, good water is what we all want
and need", said Crowe.
Victoria County Warden, Bill Pethick officlally launched the monitoring
program by taking the first sample of water from Sturgeon Lake. With
Kawartha Water Watch covering all five major lakes and sixteen rivers and
streams within ViC\oria County, it was Indeed fitting that Warden Pethick
launch this commUnity initiative.
Kawartha Water Watch will see 70 monitoring stations established across the
Kawartha watershed. Each of these stations will be -monitored monthly by a
volunteer using testing equipment and procedures provided. In addition to
the monthly monitoring of chemical and physical parameters, Kawartha.
Water Watch will also examine the types and numbers of animals that live
within the streams. The cost of fully outfitting the seventy.water quality
stations of Kawartha Water Watcl:1;js ~42,000. This sum of money is not
within the public dollar budget of K'awartha Conservation and hence
sponsorship, as well as sampling volunteers, has been sought from the
watershed community.
Kawartha Conservation Vice-chair, Audrey van BOgen told the audience "a
program and commitment such as Kawartha Water Watch does not just
happen. It takes the effort, determination, cooperation, and vision of many
people. Kawartha Conservation was greatly assisted in developing this
community program by Sir Sandford Fleming College. The individuals from
across our watershed community that have volunteered to undertake the
sampling program are owed our gratitude, We are also indeed fortunate to
have the vision and commitment of corporations and community
organizations that have step!)ed forward to sponsor monitoring stations".
Workshops to train volunteers in the use of monitoring equipment are being
set up for later on in June. After the training lessons, the volunteers will
begin monitoring and sending results to Kawartha Conservation. 'We intend
to pool this data with other available Informatlon to produce the best picture

possible of the state of water qW!lity in the Kawarthas", said Ian Macnab,
General Manager of Kawartha ConseMtion. Pi report is scheduled to be
produced and distributed within three months of completing sampling. By
noting trends and changes in water quality, Kawartha Water Watch will be
able to develop action programs 10 improve water quality at the community
level. "It is our intent to work with w~~rshed communities on projects that
will have a direct benefit to water quality", said Macnab. "By involving
everyone from the beginning, webell~e that everyone will have a greater
understanding of the issues alid a greater desire to become involved in the
solutions". .

Dear Friend,
MUNICIPALITY OF CURINGTON
MAYOR'S OFFICE
I am pleased to inform you of my government's plans for a new income support program to better
meet the needs of people with disabilities, The government intends to introduce legislatiolI soon to
move people with disabilities off the welfare system and on to the Ontario Disability Support
Program (ODSP). People who are eligible to receive benefits under the family benefits program
will have these benefits protected.
The enclosed package outlines details of the proposal, which recognizes that people with disabilities
require supports that are tailored to their needs. We have listened carefully to people's long-
standing concerns about the old system and we are responding.
Under the proposed program, people with disabilities would be able to keep more of their liquid
assets and compensation awards, and they would be allo?-,ed a higher limit on life insurance
policies. They would also be able to benefit more from !W'ts and inheritances so that their families
could provide a more secure future for their adult children.
People with disabilities have told us that they can and want to work, They have told us they want
access to jobs, better links with employers, and supports that remove barriers to employment -- so
they can use their strengths and abilities to achieve their goals. We are responding directly to the
changes people have recornmended with a program of improved supports to employment.
The result would be an integrated and more responsive cOl11l11unity-based system where people with
disabilities would play an active role. It is our intention to base the new system on partnerships
between people with disabilities, community agencies and employers. r-OIST--'--:;:io"N-

Ontario Moves To Create New Income SUDoort Program for PeoDle with Disabilities
Community and Social Services Minister Janet Ecker today announced a proposal to create a
new income support program for people with disabilities. The Minister plans to introduce
legislation shortly which would create the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). The
ODSP would move people with disabilities off the we1fare system and provide them with
greatCr opportunities for independence.
"In the Common Sense R.,evollition we said we would create a new and separate income
support program for people with disabilities," said Ms Ecker. "We have been told by people
with disabilities that the current-system- does' not meet-their. needs. . We 'have listened and we
intend to implement their suggestions."-' ..:.
Ontario presently provides the highest level of disability support among Ca""it;,,11. provinces,
People who are receiving disability benefits under.the Family Benefits Program (FBA) would
have their benefits protected under the proposed program.
If passed, the new program would:
. provide an income support program designed to meet the unique needs of people with
disabilities;
. ensure that benefits would be protected if a job attempt fails;
. remove the requirement for people with disabilities to go through eligibility retesting
every one or two years, except in those cases where their condition is expected to
, .
rmprove;
. allow people with"disabilities to keep more of their liquid assets and compensation
awards and provide a higher limit on life insurance policies;
. enable people wi,h disabilities to benefit more from gifts and inheritances so that
families can provide a more secure future for their adult children.

"We have listened carefully to people with disabilities about their concerns with the existing
system," said Ms Ecker. "They have told us they don't like labels. They want eligibility
criteria that do not limit their opportunities by labelling them as permanently unemployable.
"We recognize that many people with disabilities can and do want to work, The government
intends to support them to secure meaningful jobs and to reach their potential."
The legislation would allow for better supports to employment for people with disabilities
who want to work,
"People with disabilities have told us they want access to jobs, better links with employers,
and supports that remove barriers to employment - so they can use their strengths and
abilities to achieve their goals," added Ms Ecker. "We are proposing changes that have been
recommended time and time again."
The proposed system would have a niunber of features to help people with disabilities take '.
lJdvantage of employment opportunities. For example, it would allow people with disabilities
to accept work without worrying about not having their benefits reinstated quickly if for any
reason .they could not continue with the job.
"We expect the new direction will improve opportunities for people with disabilities who want
to work," said Jtm Dreiling, President of Goodwill Toronto, one of Ontario's oldest and most
successful providers of employment services to people with disabilities.
'-,'..:I
People with disabilities have told the governmentthat'they have to wait too long to receive
the support they need to get a job. The proposed system would streamline l"lministration and
make it easier for people with disabilities to receive the support they need,
"The proposed program responds to the concerns of people with disabilities and represents
significant improvements: to income and employment supports. Our government is taking a
leadership role in meeting the needs of people with disabilities," concluded Ms Ecker.
The Ministry of Community and Social Services has set up an information line for people to
call with inquiries: Local 416-327-0539, 1-888-688-4636, and TrY 1-800-387-5559.

Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP)
Proposal for a new income support program for
people with disabilities.
I. Introduction
Background:
People with disabilities and their rnmm~ have told us tbatthe current Family Benetitsprogram
needs reform - it does not meet the needs of people living with disabilities.
A commitment was made:
. that people with disabilities would be moved o~t.ofthe welfarcsystem. where they never
should have been in the first place;"
. there would be a new and separate program for people with disabilities to meet their unique
needs and protect their benetits;
. to help remove barriers to employment for people with disabilities.
Opportunities and Objectives:
Under previous governments there have been .numerous reports on how to reform income suppon
for people with disabilities. People say they have been consulted endlessly, but have seen little
action.
The proposed Ontario Disabi1itySuppon Program wilfprovide greater security at the same time
that it will:
.
take people with disabilities off welfare;
meet the unique needs of people with disabilities; ''',.
protect disability benetits for people with disabilities;
suppon people with disabilities toward the goals of independence and employment.

The government agrees with people with disabilities that those cmrently eligible to receive
benefits should have the security of having their benefits protected. Under the proposed plan,
people receiving FBA disability benefits will be auto""'ti"''1lly transferred to the proposed ODSP
without having their disability retested.

II. Commitment to meet unique needs of people with disabilities
and protect their benefits
Eligibility and Defmition of Dlsablllty:
The government agrees that people w.ith disabilities have asked for a fairer definition of disability.
The new definition would:
. reflect that people with disabilities can and do want to work;
. no longer labels these Ontarians as "permanently unemployable";
. cover substantial as well as severe disabilities; and .
. not inadvertently exclude people in the early stages of degenerative conditions (such as
multiple sclerosis or muscular dystrophy) or people with cycJical conditions (such as
schizophrenia or cJinical depression).
The government plans to inttoduce II new definition of disability based on substantial restrictions
in the activities of daily living. It would cover most aspects of day-to-day living at home and at
work. It will cover restrictions that result directly from a physical or mental impairment expected .
to last at Jeast one year. The ODSP will focus on people with disabilities.
Protec:ting Vulnerable People:
The government agrees with families and agencies that vulnerable people who are unable to care
for themseives need protection.
Under the ODSP, the government intends to expand provisions that assist them to pay their bills,
meet their basic needs and prevent abuse hy trustees:
. provision to make direct payments for rent and utilities will be more comprehensive where
this would prevent service cut -offs and evictions;
. where further protection is required, a tnJStee will be appointed and be subject to new
st8luiards of accOuntability. : . .
More Sensitive Rules:
We agree with people with disabilities thattbey should no longer be faced with arbitrary ru1es and
testS wbich do not meet their needs.
-2-
Under the ODSP, the government intends to introduce the following improvements:
. Under a new disability test. the forms will now ask the right questions and be filled in by
the appropriate professionals who understand disabilities. For example. registered
psychologists may document a developmental or learning disability. Mental health
outreach workers or social workers or physicians, among others, may document activities
of daily living, The test will be applied in a standard way across the province,
. People receiving some disability benefits through the C~n~tI~ Pension Plan bel:a'lse they
usually cannot work will autotn~tically be considered disabled for the eligibility criteria of
ODSP to avoid putting them through another medical process.
. A new manual and more training for adjudicators applying the disability test will provide
more guidance and mean better ass"sc"""nts of each disability.
. Once people prove they have a disability, they will only be retested if and when the
disability is expected to improve. Those with a permanent serious disability will not be
retested.
. A number of other rules on motor vehicles. interest on liquid assets. pre-paid funerals.
second properties and excess assets have been simplified so people with disabilities and
their advocates can understand the program and to follow best bnsi/l('!SS practices..
IlL Commitment to support people with disabilities to independence
DIsability Costs:
'..',,;
,
The government agrees that people with disabilities have unique costs related to those disabilities.
The government intends to make the following improvements under the proposed ODSP to meet
the unique needs of people with disabilities:
. Persons on the Ontario Disability Support Program. as well as those receiving
Handicapped Children's Benefits and Ontario Works will continue to receive the benefits
of the Ministry of Health's Assistive Device$Program. The 25% co-payment will be
eliminated.
. The ODSP 1imit on c~.hahle assets will be increased from the FBA 1imit of $3,000 to
$5,000 for a single person and from $5,000 t~. $7.500 for a couple. An atltlitinllal $500
will continue to be added for each ai:lditional dependent.
. People with disabilities will now be able to retain compensation awards of up to $100,000
(e.g. awards due to injuries or being a victim of abuse or crime). The 1imit under the
former FBA rules was $25.000.

. People with disabilities will now be able to retain life insurance whish has a cash s=nder
value of up to $100,000 and take a loan against it to cover the costs related to the
advanced stages of a serious illness, such as AIDS or cancer.
Partnership with Families:
The government agrees with the famil;,.,g of people with disabilities that they should no longer be
prevented from improving the quality of life of their adult disabled child. The government
proposes to make major changes so people with disabilities can benefit from gifts and inherit~n('es
and f:"nm.._~ can provide a secure future for their adult children.
. Families and others will be able to provide assistance with the cost of assistive devices,
health items, support services, home accommodation and education at any time. The
funds are no longer limited to inheritances. Currently, f~mi1i.._~ can only help by leaving an .
inheritance.
. In addition to disability costs, pmil;,.,s and others will be able to provide an additional
$4,000 a year in asSistIU1t'-C toward any other costs, through either a gift or an inheritance,
with a broader range of eligible uses. For the first time, familieg will be able to help with
community living arrangements which provide stability and independence.
. The amount that fammp.$ and others can leave in an inheritance provided for in MCSS
legislation will be increased to $100,000 from $65,000. This will be a standard m~yimnm
(rather the current rule which requires a Ministry-approved plan for amounts that exceed
$65.(00).
. To allow pmili"", to build up a trUSt, interest--<>n trUSt capital can remain in the trUSt until
the capital reaches $100,000; thereafter; the interest can be used to cover allowable
expenses.
. The improvements to inheritance roles will also apply to discretionary trUSts; no changes
will limit the current use of discretionary trUSts.
IV. Commitment to support people with disabilities toward employment
The government agrees the choice to work: should remain with people with disabi1itics under the
ODSP. The gov<ailDlCIlt plans to introduce improvements, which will complement a new system
of emplciyment services for people with disabilities and ~ncourage people to try working. For
example, after apcriod of working, people will be able'to get back on quickly through new rapid
relnst"tp.ment rules; only their financial need will beas~s~d at that time, not their disability.

ODSP: SUppOrts to Employment
Proposal for a new system of supports to employment for
People with Disabilities
Background:
People with disabilities have told us that they can and do want to work. We heard this message again
and again during consultations with, people with disabilities. Thegovemment is doing its part to help
people with disabilities. .
The proposed employment supports system will complement the pll.nn.-.d new Ontario Disability
Income Support Program. It will offer a commnnity-based system dedicated to working with people
with disabilities to find employment.
The current system is governed by the Vocational Rehabilitation Services Act. It has out-datcd
assumptions regarding the capacity of people with~ilities to enter and succeed in the work force.
It came. into existence at a time when services for people with disabilities were incomplete or non-
existent. and attitudes toward them could be quite patronizing. For example, the existing Act defines
an eligible client as a person "substantially incapable of pursuing a gainful occupation."
The VRS system lacks a clear focus on employment. The government agrees with people with
disabilities that they need better supports to employment.
Employment Challenges for Persons with Disabilities
It is critical to improve the employment supports system for people with disabilities. More and more
people with disabilities are working, and this benefits society and the individuals concerned.
People with disabilities and employers have been consulted; it is time to act. Restructuring the
current system'of-supparlS will make more ~riey available to serve more people with disabilities.
The re-investment will mean more employment supports for persons with disabilities.
Based on Statistics Canacll' data, it can be CSfnm.t.-.d that there are up to 240,000 to 250,000 people in
Ontario with moderate to severe disabilities who are not yet in the labour force. The statistics further
incli,."rP that people with disabilities face IIDJCh higber uneinploymcnt rates regardless of their level of
education or chosen occupation. and that labour force participation and employment rates decline
steeply as the severity of disability increases.

Opportunities and Objectives:
Progress has been made over the past few decades in integrating people with disabilities into the work
force. However. they still face one ofthe highest rates of unemployment or underempioyment of any
identifiable group in society. The existing system has also not been successful enough when it comes
to assisting people with disabilities to find employment opportunities. Only about 25 per cent of
clients have jobs when they leave the system.
The proposed system will be based in the commnnity, will be less expensive to deliver and will be
dedicated to providing supports to persons with disabilities preparing for, seeking or maintaining
employment.
The proposed rc-design will allow direct expenditures on supports to employment for persons with
disabilities to rise from approximately $18 mil1ion today to almost $35 mil1ion when the system is fully
implemented.
A special grant program. funded at current levels. will be created for home and vehicle moclifi"ations
for people with disabilities.
To ensure there are no reductions in services for people with disabilities. funding will be added to the
operating grants of colleges and universities that will be targetted to meet these special needs.
Attendant care services will be provided through Ministry ofHeahh funded programs.
Key Features of the Proposed New System
Legislation:
Plans call for the Vocational Rehabilitation Services.Act to be replaced by the new Ontario Disabilily
Supporr Plan Act. 'This proposed Act will recognize the capacity of people with disabilities to take
responsibility for their own employment p1ans and to direct the services they receive.
Service Priorities:
It is proposed that eligibility for support be open to any person for whom a disability presents a
substantial barrier to preparing for. seeking or maint~;ning employment. Services available will
include:
. Employment planning assistance;
. Interpreters;
. Technological aids and devices;
. SkiDs development and ongoing job supports.
Wherever feasible. funding will be provided directly to eligible people so they can choose the aid.
device or support that best enables them to meet their employment goal. Where people have higher
incomes (over $52.000 in taxable income for a single person). they will be expected to contribute a
small amount toward the cost of supports. 'This will enable the system to serve more people. The
VRS Training Allowance will be made rednt'l"~nt by the introduction of the proposed Ontario
Disl>btnry Income Support Plan (see separate backgrounder).
A Separate Home and Vehicle Modifications Program:
Home and vehicle modifications are sometimes necessary to enable people with disabilities to
continue to live independently and to participate fully in activities of daily living, including
employment. Client services will be improved by having services delivered through a community
partner with expertise in the area.
Delivery Responsibility:
The proposed'employment supports system will be delivered by local service coordinators who will
be selected through a competitive process based on their ability to provide the best quality of service
and achieve the greatest possible impact on employment outcomes for their clients. Service
coordinators will be expected to work in partnership with people with disabilities and employers in
their communities.
Transition to the New System:
It is estintated that it will take approximately 18 months to implement the changes. People will
continue to be served by the existing system until the new legislation is developed and enacted.
Federal-Provincial Funding Support:
Federal and provincial ministers recently endorsed a plan to redesign cUIrent cost-shared vocational
rehabilitation programs into new initiatives that focus on active labour market measures and provide
supports to persons with disabilities aimed at preparing for. finding and Jceeping jobs. Programs to be
funded in the future will be based on the principles that programs must be client-centered and must
stress active measures that remove barriers to participation in the economic mainstream. Changes that
Ontario is putting forward as part of the ODSP put the province in the forefront of change.

I am enclosing for your information a copy of a media kit on the legislation, released today by the
Ministry of Labour.
Many Ontario municipalities are amalgamating quickly to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and
affordabilityof public services they deliver; If it is approved by the legislature, this legislation
would give them new tools to allow for faster resolution of difficult labour relations issues that
may anse.
For example, the legislation would create a Dispute Resolution Commission, which will have
available to it a number of new options for resolving disputes between municipalities and
municipal employees in the police and fire sectors, whete strikes and lockouts are not permitted.
The bill will also give municipalities an opportunity to ~ve notice to bargain a new collective
agreement following an amalgamation or merger;
I must stress that the government is committed to the collective bargaining process, The
government has no intention of intervening in contract negotiations, The legislation introduced
today improves the cOllective bargaining process so negotiations can more quickly and efficiently
lead to agreements that meet the needs of municipalities and their employees.
If you have any questions about the proposed legislation, please feel free to call the contacts listed
in the media kit, or your nearest Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Regional Operations

NEW LEGISLATION EASES TRANSITION TO
BETTER QUALITY PUBLIC SERVICES
TORONTO - Labour Minister Elizabeth Witmer today announced that she would be
introducing new labour legislation to facilitate a timely, fair and orderly transition to
improved public services in hospitals, schools and municipalities across Ontario.
"This legislation will ensure that as public sector organizations restructure, employees
are treated fairly, service disruption is minimized and labour relations issues are
resolved in a timely manner: said Mrs. Witmer. "Employers and unions will continue to
have the opportunity to work together through collective bargaining, If they are unable
to negotiate solutions, we will provide them with the processes they need to assist them
in resolving their issues:
Upon passage, the legislation will create two new commissions under two new acts:
. A temporary Labour Relations TransitiOl} Commission that will help resolve
, .
labour relations issues associated with public sector restructuring, including
such issues as the structure of bargaining units, union representation and
seniority.
. A Dispute Resolution Commission that will refonn arbitration in the fire, police
and hospital sectors where strikes and lockouts are not pennitted. The
commission will encourage negotiated agreements wherever possible, but to
resolve outstanding issues it will have the ability to use various dispute
resolution mechanisms such as mediation-arbitration, For other sectors,
including municipalities and schools, at the request of either party, the
commission will have temporary pOwer to deal with disputes arising from the
negotiation of a first contract followi.ng an amalgamation or merger,
"Over the coming months, public sector organizations across the province will be
restructuring in order to deliver more efficient, effective and affordable services to
Ontarians,' the Minister said. "With this legislation, employees and employers will have
access to a process that will help them manage change in a way that is fair, timely and
which increases accountability to the taxpayer,"

Mr. Speaker, this afternoon I will be introducing the Public Sector Transition Stability
Act, an Act to facilitate a fair and orderly transition to improved public services in
hospitals, schools and muniCipalities across Ontario,
Over the coming months, public sector organizations will be restructuring in order to
deliver more efficient, effective and affordable services to Ontarians.
We want to ensure that, as these changes take place, employees are treated fairly, the
transition to improved public serVices is seamless and outstanding labour relations
issues are resolved in an expeditious and timely manner.
Our. government believes that employers, employees and unions are in the best
position to find solutions to their unique labour relations issues.
Therefore, the workplace parties will continue to have the opportunity to negotiate
collective agreements that are most appropriate to their particular circumstances.
'.:.~
,
However, if they are not able to resolve some' of the complex issues, we realize that a
legal and institutional framework is needed to ensure that, during this time of public
sector restructuring, everyone is treated fairly and that services continue to be provided
to the taxpayers,
To establish this framework, we are introducing this bill which contains two new acts for
the considE!ration of the legislature.
The first, the Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act, will establish a time-
limited Labour Relations Transition Commission to deal with the high volume of
complex labour relations issues that will emerge as the result of school boards,
hospitals and municipalities amalgamating and merging.
-2-
For example, if employers and unions cannot negotiate a solution to determine the
appropriate bargaining unit, the Transition Commission will be able to do so. If one
union does not represent a substantial majority of employees, or if no agreement is
reached by the unions to determine which union will represent employees when two or
more unionized workforces come together, the Transition Commission will be able to do
so. In most cases, the determination will be by secret ballot, to ensure that the wishes
of the affected employees are respected.
The Transition Commission will also ensure that, for seniority purposes, equal
recognition is given to the years of service of unionized and non-unionized employees,
I would like to point out that our legislation will not eliminate successor rights. As well,
contracting out will continue to be an issue for negotiations between the parties,
We have paid careful attention to the needs and concerns of the workplace parties, Mr,
Speaker, and we have endeavoured to ensure that they continue to work ~peratively
together to resolve their own unique issues throu$h collective bargaining.
I will also be asking the parties in the construction industry to provide advice on the
application of this Act to construction trade unions with construction bargaining rights in
the broader public sector.
The second act we are introducing, the Public Sector Dispute Resolution Act, will
permanently reform arbitration in the fire, police and hospital sectors where strikes and
lockouts are not permitted.
A permanent Dispute Resolution Commission will be created to promote negotiated
settlements and resolve disputes should negotiations fail in these sectors.

This new process will address concerns that have been expressed for many years and
will ensure that the system is more directly accountable to the taxpayer.
This Dispute Resolution Commission will also be used temporarily to administer a
binding dispute resolution process during a first contract negotiation following an
amalgamation or merger in the broader public sector, This is a temporary power and it
can only be exercised at the request of either party,
I wish to emphasize that this option will only be available for the negotiation of the first
post-amalgamation collective agreement.
By creating greater incentives for the parties to settle disputes themselves, this new
process will protect taxpayers against unnecessary disruptions of public services
through strikes or lockouts arising out ofthe negotiations of first contracts after an
amalgamation or merger in the broader public sector during this transitional period.
Mr. Speaker, at this time I would like to mention tWo other aspects of this legislation. In
,
order to facilitate restructuring and to addres$ other concerns, we are also introducing
amendments to the Pay Equity Act.
. And we are taking steps to wind down the Employee Wage Protection Program, the last
program in Canada that uses taxpayers' funds to cover employers' financial obligations
to their employees.
Mr. Speaker, every level of government in Ontario is attempting to efficiently restructure
the way public services are delivered,
-4-
Upon its passage, this legislation will promote a timely, fair and orderly transition to
improved public services in hospitals, schools and municipalities, A key objective will
be to ensure that, during this time of transition, employees are treated fairly and labour
relations issues are resolved by the workplace parties wherever possible, in a timely
and expeditious manner.
I want to re-emphasize that our goal is, above all else, to encourage and provide the
workplace parties the opportunity to co-operatively resolve their issues through
collective bargaining, but if they are not able to do so, to ensure that there is a process
that will enable these issues to be resolved in a fair, timely and expeditious manner.
This legislation will help us accomplish that goal.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

OVERVIEW OF LEGISLATION
The Public Sector Transition Stability Act, 1997 contains:
Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act, 1997
The Act, if approved by the legislature, will provide for the fair and timely resolution of
labour relations issues that will ari;:le as municipalities, school boards and hospitals
restructure in order to improve the delivery of public services in Ontario, . This
restructuring will involve tens of thousands of unionized and non-unionized public
service employees and employers.
The Actwill encourage collective bargaining between employers and unions, so that
they can arrive at negotiated agreements that reflect the needs of their individual
workplaces. However, if employers and unions are unable to develop solutions to their
labour relations issues through collective bargailliClg, the Act will provide a process to
resolve outstanding issues,'
The Act will establish the Labour Relations Transition Commission (LRTC), a
temporary body with special expertise to focus exclusively on the high volume of labour
relations issues arising from the restructuring of the public sector. The LRTC will have
special powers to deal with labour relations issues in an expedited manner while taking
into consideration the circumstances surrounding each particular restructuring.
There are a number of situations the LRTC could be asked to address. For example, if
employers and unions cannot negotiate a solution, the LRTC could determine how
employees would be grouped together for collective bargaining purposes.
The LRTC could also be asked to determine Which union would represent employees.
This determination would be based on a vote except where a single union already has
a large majority of members in the new bargaining unit. Similarly, where the parties
cannot agree on the resolution of seniority issues, the LRTC will dovetail the seniority
lists of the existing bargaining units unless there are compelling reasons to do
otherwise. For seniority purposes, equal recognition will be given to the service of
union and non-union workers in all cases.
-1-
To assist the workplace parties in reaching agreements on their own and to facilitate
information-sharing, the LRTC may have the authority to publish guidelines for
commonly occurring issues,
The Act will also give either workplace party an opportunity to give notice to bargain a
new or revised collective agreement following an amalgamation or merger,
These procedures will focus responsibility on the workplace parties and ensure that
they have the necessary process in place to achieve, in a timely manner, a first
contract following an amalgamation or merger,
The Minister of Labour will be asking the parties in the construction industry to provide
advice on the application of this Act to construction trade unions with construction
bargaining rights in the broader public sector.
Public Sector Dispute Resolution Act, 1997
The Public Sector Dispute Resolution Act will permanently reform the system for
resolving disputes iri the fire, police and hospital sectors where strikes and lockouts are
not permitted, The primary goal is to encourage the parties to reach a settlement.
through collective bargaining. However, should negotiations fail, the Act provides for a
permanent Oispute Resolution Commission (ORC) with the ability to use arbitration-
mediation and other dispute resolution mechanis~s, while maintaining accountability. to
taxpayers, '.}
The ORC will also have a temporary mandate to administer a binding dispute resolution
mechanism for first-contract negotiations that follow an amalgamation or merger
elsewhere in the public sector, for example in municipalities and school boards. In
these cases, the ORC will act only at the request of one of the parties.
Amendments to the Pay Equity Act
The Pay Equity Act is being amended in order to facilitate restructuring in the broader
public sector and to address oth.er concerns. The legislation will facilitate compliance
by reforming rules affecting the sale of a busfness, r~troactive claims in the broader
public sector, and by clarifying that privat~ome day care providers are not considered
"employees" under the Pay Equity Act.
The legislation allows for more flexibility in establishing pay equity adjustments when
an employer in an amalgamated or newly purchased organization develops a newpay
equity plan if the previous plan is no longer appropriate.

The legislation also changes requirements for retroactive pay equity adjustments in the
broader public sector, In these cases, pay equity adjustments will have to be made
back to the time an employee made a complaint, a union attempted to negotiate a pay
equity plan, or a pay equity plan was posted, rather than back to January 1, 1990, as is
now required. This change takes effect as of the date of introduction of the bill.
These amendments will facilitate restructuring in the broader public sector by limiting
unanticipated pay equity liability potentially dating back to 1990.
The amendments will also clarify the status of private-home day care providers for the
purposes of the Pay Equity Act. These are people who are regulated under the Day
Nurseries Act to provide day care in their own homes, usually under contract to
municipalities and other agencies, and it was never intended that they be considered
"employees. under the provisions of the Pay Equity Act.
Winding down of the Employee Wage Protection Program
Amendments will be made to the Employment Standards Act to wind down the
taxpayer-funded Employee Wage Protection Program (EWPP), which compensates
employees for wages and vacation pay owed by employers. Ontario is the only
province in Canada with a program of this kind that uses taxpayer funds to cover the
obligations of private sector employers,
Employees with claims for wages that became du~ prior to the .passage of the bill will
still be covered by the EWPP.
The Province will continue to urge the Federal Government to amend the Bankruptcy
and Insolvency Act in order to give employees priority status for owed wages.

LABOUR RELATIONS TRANSITION COMMISSION
Across Ontario changes are being made in how taxpayer-funded hospitals, school
boards, municipalities and other public organizations deliver services, Many of these
organizations will be involved in amalgamations, mergers and other forms of
restructuring as they move to provide more effective, efficient and affordable service to
the public.
Restructuring will involve tens of thousands of unionized employees currently employed
by hundreds of broader public sector employers across Ontario. The employees will
often be represented by separate bargaining agents with separate collective
agreements.
Labour relations questions will arise with many of these restructurings, including the
following:
. What will happen when members of two or more bargaining units are brought
together because of an amalgamation or rti'erger? What will be the size and
shape of the new bargaining unit(s)? ..
. Which union will represent the' members of a new bargaining unit when two or
more unions have represented the workers who are being brought together?
What happens if workers who were not unionized are being brought together
with workers who are unionized?
. Which collective agreement and which terms and conditions of employment will
apply during the transition?
. How will seniority be dealt with when different bargaining units are being brought
together? And what will happen to seniority when workers who have not been
unionized are brought together with, unionized workers?
-1-
How the commission will work
Given the high volume of amalgamations and mergers expected over the coming
months, the legislation will create a special body with a temporary mandate and with
special expertise to focus exclusively on transitional labour relations issues, When
necessary, the Labour Relations Transition Commission (LRTC) will have special
powers to deal with labour relations questions in an expedited manner while taking into
consideration the circumstances surrounding each particular restructuring. The
commission will only become involved where a broader public sector workplace has
been subject to an amalgamation or merger.
In many cases, the employer and union(s) will be able to reach agreement themselves
on how to resolve transitional issues.
In cases where the employer and union(s) are unable to reach agreement, the LRTC
will have the power to make timely decisions on outstanding labour relations questions,
including those dealing with bargaining unit structure, union representation and
seniority.
The LRTC will consist of a number of commissioners with sectoral knowledge and
labour relations expertise, headed by a Chief Commissioner. It will have the ability to
use expedited, formal and informal processes to resolve, in a timely manner, issues
that come before it To assist the workplace parties in reaching an agreement, the new
LRTC will have the authority to publish guideline~ on commonly occurring issues,
"., ~
,
The LRTC will be set up for a four-year peri~, after which it is expected that most of
the public sector restructuring will be implemented and there will be no further need for
these specialized services. Traditional collective bargaining will resume at that time.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION COMMISSION
In Ontario, strikes and lockouts are prohibited in a number of sectors providing
essential services such as hospitals, fire services and police, In these cases, if the
employer and union are unable to successfully negotiate a collective agreement, the
dispute is sent to binding arbitration. An arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators holds a
fonnal hearing and then renders a binding decision on all the outstanding issues.
Over the years, the current system of arbitration has often been criticized. Some
groups have called for the establishment of a pennanent roster of experienced
arbitrators, instead of the current system of ad hoc arbitrators, in order to improve
consistency, build expertise and facilitate awards that are more appropriate.
Concerns have also been expressed that the current system:
. encourages unions and employers to rely on the arbitrator to impose a
settlement rather than negotiate a solution themselves;
. is too time-consuming, costly and legalisti~, Settlements are often not arbitrated
until many months after the previous collective agreement has expired;
. results in awards that may not always reflect economic and fiscal reality and are
not accountable to taxpayers;
. results in contract awards that split the difference between the two parties, do
not reflect the reality of the workplace and do not correspond to locally
negotiated solutions.
How the commission will work
To deal with these concerns, and to encourage unions and employers to negotiate
settlements, a new, permanent Oispute Resolution Commission (ORC) will be
established that will have the power to settle :the terms of the collective agreements in
the fire, police and hospital sectors if agreement cannot be reached,
The ORC will put far greater emphasis on negotiation and mediation as a way of
encouraging the employer and union to resolve outstanding issues.
The ORC will have a number of innovative powers, including the right to choose the
most appropriate method for resolving disagreements. This could include final offer
selection or mediation-arbitration,
-1-
. Final Offer Selection: Under this system, the employer and union would submit
their final offer to a decision-maker, who chooses between the two of them, The
offer chosen then becomes the basis for the new collective agreement. The
ORC will have discretion on how to use final offer selection. For example, it may
be used for the entire agreement, on an issue-by-issue basis, or any other way
the ORC believes appropriate.
. Mediation-Arbitration: This system allows the decision-maker to act as a
mediator, assisting the parties to negotiate as much of the collective agreement
as possible, and then to decide the remaining outstanding issues.
The ORC will consist of a number of commissioners with expertise in labour relations
and mediation, headed by a Chief Commissioner, In appropriate circumstances, such
as when specific expertise is required, on the request of the parties the Chief
Commissioner may also appoint 'sidespeople" (people who participate in the decision- .
making process as respective nominees of unions and employers).
Where an employer and union agree, they may still have their dispute resolved through
private arbitration. .
Amalgamations and mergers
The ORC will deal with unresolved disputes arisir1.g out of first contract negotiations that
follow an amalgamation or merger involving h.ospitals, fire and police, where strikes and
lockouts are not permitted.
In addition, employers or unions in other sectors - such as municipalities - can
choose to have the ORC resolve a first collective agreement following an amalgamation
or merger, and thus avoid recourse to a strike or lockout. This will also apply to
support staff and occasional teachers in school boards. The ability of either party to
refer the dispute to the ORC is only available in negotiations for the first post-
amalgamation contract.

How THE NEW TRANSITION PROCESSES WILL WORK
The new legislation outlines a fair and expeditious process for resolving the numerous
labour relations issues arising when two or more employers in a hospital, municipality,
school board or other broader public sector organization are amalgamated or merged.
It encourages collective bargaining between employers and unions and facilitates
negotiated agreements that reflect the needs of individual workplaces. If employers
and unions are unable to develop solutions to labour relations issues through collective
bargaining during the negotiation 9f a first contract following an amalgamation or
merger, the legislation provides a process to resolve outstanding issues,
In many instances, several existing unions with different collective agreements will be
brought together into a new organization as a result of an amalgamation or merger.
Steps must be taken to determine which unions will represent which employees and to
determine the collective agreement that will apply.
Step One: Determining the structure for collecJive bargaining
. For collective bargaining, the workforce is organized into groups called
bargaining units, The first step following a merger or amalgamation is to
determine the makeup of the bargaining units in the new organization.
Questions that need to be resolved include: Will several existing units be
combined? Are there specific reasons to keep some units separate?
. Through negotiation, the employer and all of the unions involved may
themselves agree on the composition of the new bargaining units.
. .
. The parties may be assisted by guidelines published by the Labour Relations
Transition Commission (LRTC).
. If they are unable to agree, either party may apply to the LRTC to determine the
appropriate bargaining unit structure.
-1-
. The LRTC will have the ability to use various formal or informal processes to
arrive at a solution, It will then be able to issue orders setting out the bargaining
unit structure.
. Following further discussions with stakeholders in the construction industry, the
legislation will be refined to reflect the unique needs of that industry.
Step Two: Detennining which union will represent employees
. Following the determination of the bargaining unit structure, the existing unions
may agree among themselves on who will represent the new bargaining units.
. If they do not agree, the LRTC will, with some exceptions, order a vote,
Employees within each bargaining unit will vote on which union will represent
them. A majority is required,
. A vote will not be required if a significant majority of the employees in the
bargaining unit are already represented by one of the unions, When two unions
are involved, no vote will be required if one of the unions represents at least 75
per cent of the employees. When three or more unions are involved, no vote will
be required if one of the unions represents at least 60 per cent of the
employees.
. If at least 40 per cent of the employees in E!:,bargaining unit are not unionized,
employees will also be able to choose whether or not to be represented by a
union when the vote is taken.
Step Three: Deciding a new collective agreement
After the reorganization, a composite collective agreement - made up of all the
previous collective agreements - will temporarily apply. This means employees will
continue to be covered 'by their previous collective agreements even though they are in
a new bargaining unit. Employees who were not represented by a union before the
reorganization will continue to be covered by their previous contract of employment
during this interim period. The Act will protect non-union employees from being
disadvantaged during this interim period. . . .
There are four choices on what happens next:
. TIle employer and the union can choose to continue with the composite
agreement for up to one year.

. Or, the employer and union can agree to a new collective agreement based on
one ofthe collective agreements that existed before the amalgamation or
merger. An amended version of the agreement could also be used.
. Or, the parties may jointly ask the LRTC to choose one of the existing
agreements to apply,
. Or, either the employer or union can choose to begin the process of negotiating
a new collective agreem~nt by giving notice to bargain, If such notice is given,
and the parties would normally have the right to strike or lockout, either party
has 30 days to indicate that if negotiations are unsuccessful, the dispute
settlement mechanism for this particular instance is the new Dispute Resolution
Commission (DRC) rather than a strike or lockout While negotiations are taking
place, the composite agreement applies until 90 days after the notice to bargain
was given or, where the DRC is involved, until a new collective agreement is in
place.
Step Four: Determining seniority
Where employees from different bargaining units are to be merged into a single new
bargaining unit, the parties may agree on how the various seniority lists will be merged,
Or, either party may apply to the LRTC to determine seniority. In that case, seniority
will be dovetailed unless the LRTC finds there are compelling reasons to handle the
situation differently. If seniority is dovetailed, empJoyees will receive similar credits for
their seniority, regardless of which unit they Were in,
The seniority of non-unionized employees who become unionized after an
amalgamation or merger will be protected under this legislation, Their seniority will be
determined on the same basis as the seniority for unionized employees after the
composite agreement is replaced with a new or revised collective agreement
Step Five: If negotiations break down
. If the employer and union are unable to reach agreement, the new Dispute
Resolution Commission (DRC) will decide the terms of the new collective
agreement for hospitals, police and firefighters, In these sectors, strikes and
lockouts are not allowed. .
. The Ministry of Education and Training will shortly be bringing forward new
legislation for collective bargaining between teachers and school boards,
-3-
. For other sectors such as municipalities, either party can choose to have the first
post-amalgamation or merger collective agreement resolved by the ORC, and
thereby avoid recourse to strikes or lockouts. This decision must be made at the
beginning of negotiations. If neither party chooses this option, strikes or
lockouts could occur if the parties are unable to successfully negotiate a
collective agreement.
Step Six: The Dispute Resolution Commission (ORC)
The ORC will have a variety of techniques available to resolve disputes arising from the
collective bargaining process,

PAY EQUITY REFORM
The goal of reforms to the Pay Equity Act is to facilitate restructuring in the public
sector. The legislation, when approved, will provide more flexibility in making a new
pay equity plan following an amalgamation, merger or sale of business, It will also
make changes to the retroactive pay equity requirements when there is an
amalgamation or merger in hospitals, schools, municipalities and other broader public
sector organizations, The changes will also clarify that private-home day care providers
are not considered employees under the Pay Equity Act,
Sale of business changes
The legislation will allow for more flexibility in establishing pay equity adjustments
where there is a sale of a business, including an amalgamation.
The current Act requires a new employer in an amalgamated or newly purchased
organization to develop a new pay equity plan if the previous plan is no longer
appropriate.
However, the current Act prohibits the new employer from reducing the amount of pay
equity adjustments in order to bring amalgamated organizations in line with one
another. The amendment would remove the prohibition on reducing the pay equity
adjustment in these cases. - . .
For example, if two municipalities are merged, a new plan may be required if the old
plans are no longer appropriate. Similar jobs could have different wage rates because
different pay equity adjustments had been made in the previous organizations.
Currently, the law does not allow the new plan to lower any previous adjustments even
when that would be more rational and appropriate in the new organization.
Retroactive claims in the broader public sector
The amendments provide that in the broader public sector pay equity adjustments will
have to be made back to the time an employee made a complaint, a union tried to
negotiate a pay equity plan or a pay equity plan was posted, rather than back to
January 1, 1990 as is now the case,
-1-
The amendments will clarify the responsibility of the new employer following the
amalgamation or merger for ma~ing these payments, This change takes effect as of
the date of introduction of the bill. These amendments will facilitate restructuring in the
broader public sector by limiting unanticipated pay equity liability dating back to 1990.
Private-home day care
The legislation clarifies that people who provide private-home day care under the
provisions of the Day Nurseries Act are not considered "employees" under the Pay
Equity Act and, as such, are not eligible for pay equity adjustments, These are
individuals who are contracted by some municipalities and other agencies to provide
day care in their own homes. It was never intended that these self-employed private-
home day care providers be considered employees under the Pay Equity Act.

MUNICIPALITIES
The number of municipalities in Ontario is expected to drop from 815 a year ago to
fewer than 670 by January 1, 1998, It is expected that by January 1, 1998, more than
50 amalgamations and other restructurings will have taken place, involving more than
250 municipalities. These amalgamations will result in the number of Ontario
municipalities being reduced by at least 140. Similar restructuring activity can be
expected to continue over the next several years.
In Ontario there are more than 49,000 unionized municipal employees working in
administration, public works, parks and recreation and planning. These employees are
covered by 430 collective agreements, with some 94 per cent represented by the
Canadian Union of Public Employees while the remainder are represented by 17 other
unions.
An additional 13,000 unionized employees work in urban transit, another 4,700 in
public libraries and several thousand for various l1ealth and social services at the
municipal level. .~ "
KEY CHANGES
A key goal of the government's reform legiSlation is to promote a fair and expeditious
resolution of labour issues that arise during municipal amalgamations,
In particular, the legislation provides a mechanism .for resolving disputes that cannot be
resolved during the negotiation of a first contract following an amalgamation,
This is how the legislation will affect the municipal sector:
. .
Amalgamations
. When a number of unionized workers are brought together because of an
amalgamation, the proposed Labour Relations Transition Commission may
resolve any outstanding issues about the appropriate bargaining unit structure,
who will represent the employees and how workers' seniority will be applied in
the merged organization if the parties have not been able to reach agreement
themselves,
-1-
. The service of non-union employees who become unionized after an
amalgamation will be protected. These employees' relevant years of service will
count as seniority in any collective agreements following the amalgamation. And
when employees from different bargaining units are merged, their seniority will
generally be dovetailed,
. The Act may be extended by regulation to cover local utilities and other special-
purpose municipal bodies if they are involved in an amalgamation or merger.
Resolving contract issues
. After a reorganization, a composite collective agreement - made up of all the
previous collective agreements - will temporarily apply until a new contract
following the reorganization is in place.
. The employer and union can agree to continue with the composite agreement for
a year, or they can agree to a collective agreement covering the whole
bargaining unit based on one of the collective agreements that existed before
the amalgamation. Or, by giving notice to bargain, either the employer or union
can choose to begin the process of negotiating a new collective agreement
. Either party can .choose to ask the Dispute Resolution Commission for help in
resolving a collective agreement if they are unable to do so. If the dispute is
referred to the Dispute Resolution CommisSion, there is no recourse to strikes or
lockouts with respect to the first-agreement'negotiations.

SCHOOL BOARDS
Approximately 48,000 non-teaching staff employed by school boards across the
province bargain under the Labour Relations Act and are therefore covered by the new
labour legislation. They are represented by a variety of unions including the Canadian
Union of Public Employees, Service Employees International Union and the Ontario
Secondary School Teachers' Federation. An additional 30,000 individuals, registered
with the school boards to work as occasional teachers, are also affected by the new
legislation,
Approximately 123,000 teachers are represented by affiliates of the Ontario Teachers'
Federation and are subject to special collective bargaining rules set out in the School
Boards and Teachers Collective Negotiations Act. The Ministry of Education and
Training will shortly be bringing forward new legislation addressing labour relations
issues resulting from the amalgamation of school boards. This legislation will fonn an
integral part of the government's overall plans to improve the quality of education in
Ontario.
. "
.,
A key goal of the government's refonn legislation is to promote a fair and expeditious
resolution of labour relations issues that arise during the restructuring of the education
sector through the amalgamation of school boards and the creation of new district
school boards. The legislation will encourage employers and unions to work together
to negotiate collective agreements that are most appropriate to their particular
circumstances,
KEY CHANGES
. The Fewer School Boards Act, 1997, will reduce the number of school boards in
the province from 129 to 72 on January 1, 1998. The new Public Sector Labour
Relations Transition Act, 1997, will provide mechanisms for resolving disputes, if
the parties are unable to resolve them during the negotiation of a first contract
following the amalgamation. The new Labour Relations Transition Commission
will help resolve any outstanding issues for those employees who bargain under
the Labour Relations Act about bargaining unit structure, union representation
and seniority in the new school board system.
-1-
Resolving contract issues
. The service of nan-unian.employees who. become unionized after an
amalgamatian will be pratected, These emplayees' relevant years af service will
count as seniarity in any collective agreement follawing an amalgamation, And
when emplayees fram different bargaining units are merged, their seniarity will

POLICE AND FIRE SERVICES
.
There are approximately 23,000 employees in Ontario's municipal and provincial police
forces covered by 194 collective agreements. The Ontario Provincial Police
Association represents approximately 4,500 police officers who are covered by one
agreement. Individual municipal/regional police associations, representing
approximately 18,900 members, negotiate separately with their employers and are
covered by 193 agreements which cover both civilian employees and police officers.
There are about 8,900 employees in the province's firefighting service covered by 87
collective agreements and represer:rted by locals of two firefighting associations. The
associations are the Ontario Professional Firefighters' Association, with just over 4,000
members covered by 53 agreements, and the professional Federation of Ontario
Firefighters with 4,875 members covered by 34 agreements.
Most employees in the province's police and firefighting services do not have the right
to strike. As described below, the proposed legislation provides for a dispute resolution
process when employers and employee representatives are unable to negotiate an
agreement. The new process creates a greater incentive for the parties to arrive at
mutually acceptable solutions and proVides greatlilr accountability to taxpayers.
......
,
KEY CHANGES
A key goal of the govemmenfs reform legislation is to promote a fair and expeditious
resolution of labour issues if and when police and fire services are restructured. The
. legislation will encourage employers and unions to work together to negotiate collective
agreements that are most appropriate to their particular circumstances.
. When a number of unionized workers are brought together because of
restructuring, the proposed Labour Relations Transition Commission may
resolve any outstanding issues about the appropriate bargaining unit structure,
who will represent the employees and the seniority of employees in the merged
organization if the parties cannot negotiate these issues themselves.
, .
. The seniority of non-union employees who become unionized after restructuring
will be recognized, Their relevant years of service will count as seniority in any
collective agreement that is negotiated. When different bargaining units are
merged, seniority will generally be dovetailed.
-1-
Resolving contract issues
. Strikes and lockouts are prohibited for all police officers, firefighters and most of
their support staff.
. Currently, if the employer and bargaining agent are unable to successfully
negotiate an agreement, the dispute is sent to binding arbitration. An arbitrator
or panel of arbitrators, chosen or appointed on an ad hoc basis, holds a formal
hearing and then makes a binding decision on all outstanding issues,
. This system has been widely criticized, It encourages both parties to rely on the
arbitrator rather than negotiate a settlement themselves, is too time-consuming,
costly and legalistic and results in awards that may not always reflect financial
circumstances in the community.
. Under the new system, any unresolved issues can be referred to the Dispute
Resolution Commission (ORC). The ORC will put far greater emphasis on
negotiation and mediation as a way of settling these issues.
. The ORC will have a number of innovative new powers. For example, it could
order final offer selection wh~re the employer and union are required to submit
some or all of their final offer to a decision-maker who chooses between the two
offers.
. The ORC could also use mediation-arbitration. This allows the parties to reach
agreement on as many issues as possible before the remaining issues are sent
for binding arbitration.
. A Commissioner on his or her own may resolve the dispute or, if the parties both
wish, the Chief Commissioner has the disC(etion to appoint sidespeople - I.e., .
representatives of the employer and the uniOn - to work with the Commissioner
to resolve the dispute.

HOSPITALS
There are approximately 119,000 unionized employees in the hospital sector. They are
covered by about 1,000 collective agreements, with four major unions representing the
employees. The unions are the Ontario Nurses Association (46,000 members), the
Canadian Union of Public Employees (28,000), Service Employees International Union
(27,000) and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (9,000). Another 9,000
workers are represented by other unions such as the Allied Health Professionals,
International Union of Operating Engineers, United Steelworkers of America and the
Public Service Alliance.
Recognizing that hospital employees do not have the right to strike, the new process
creates a greater incentive for the parties to arrive at mutually acceptable solutions and
provides greater accountability to taxpayers. The legislation provides for a dispute
resolution process when the parties.are unable to negotiate an agreement
KEY CHANGES
A key goal of the government's reform legislatiorl'1s to promote a fair and expeditious
resolution of labour relations issues that arise in the hospital sector. The legislation
encourages employers and unions to work together to negotiate collective agreements
that are most appropriate to their particular circumstances.
This is how the legislation will affect the hospital sector:
. When a number of hospital workers are brought together because of an
amalgamation or merger, the parties will have an opportunity to negotiate
through collective bargaining. However, the Labour Relations Transition
Commission (LRTC) will resolve any outstanding issues about the appropriate
bargaining unit structure, who will represent the employees and how workers'
seniority will be applied in the merged organization.
. Restructuring in the hospital sector may take place without a legal merger or
amalgamation technically taking place. The LRTC will therefore be able to
decide whether a de facto merger has taken place.
. In the hospital sector, some employers and bargaining agents have worked
together to develop human resource plans. These plans reflect the negotiations
of the parties involved and will be respected by the new Act,
-1-
Resolving contract issues
· Strikes and lockouts are prohibited in the hospital sector, and this applies to a
wide range of hospital employees including nurses, cleaners, stationary
engineers and cafeteria workers.
· Currently, if the employer and union are unable to successfully negotiate an
agreement, the dispute is sent to binding arbitration, An arbitrator or panel of
arbitrators holds a formal hearing and then makes a binding decision on all
outstanding issues.
· This system has been widely criticized. It encourages both parties to rely on the
arbitrator, rather than negotiate a settlement themselves, is too time-consuming,
costly and legalistic and results in awards that may not always reflect the
financial conditions at the hospital.
· Under the new system, any unresolved issues can be referred to the Oispute
Resolution Commission (ORC). The ORC will put far greater emphasis on
negotiation and mediation as a way of settling the dispute.
. The ORC will have a number of innovative new powers. For example, it could
order final offer selection whereby the employer and union are required to
submit some or all of their final offer to a decision-maker, who chooses between
the two offers,
· The ORC could also use mediation-arbitration. This allows the parties to reach
agreement on as many issues as possible before the remaining issues are sent
for binding arbitration. \"
. A Commissioner on his or her own may resolve the dispute or, if the parties both
wish, the Chief Commissioner has the discretion to appoint sidespeople - Le"
representatives of the employer and the union - to work with the Commissioner
to resolve the dispute.
. These provisions will also apply to the negotiation of a first contract following an
amalgamation or merger.

ONTARIO PUBLIC SERVICE
Current situation
There are about 69,000 people currently employed in the Ontario Public Service
(OPS), providing a wide variety of services, Over the next few years, changes will be
made in the way in which many pf these services are delivered. These changes can
happen in a number of ways including:
1. Internal restructuring: where services move from one ministry to another or to a
Schedule I or IV Crown Ag~ncy.
2, Services tendered to the private sector. As successor rights do not apply to the
Crown, the new employer can determine (subject to reasonable efforts
negotiations) which, if any, OPS employees will be hired, and what the terms
and conditions of their employment will be.
3, Services transferred to municipalities or other public sector organizations
including Schedule II and III Crown Agenci~s: The government's Who Does
What initiative envisions this sort of transfer to the broader public sector (BPS),
As successor rights do not apply to the Crown, the new employer can determine
(subject to reasonable efforts negotiations) which, if any, OPS employees will be
hired, and what the terms and conditions of their employment will be.
Under the Ontario Public Service collective agreements with the Ontario Public Service
Employees Union, the Professional Engineers and Architects of the Ontario Public
Service (PEGO) and the interim agreement with the Association of Management,
Administrative and Professional Crown Employees of Ontario (AMAPCEO), the
government as employer has an obligation to employees in situations where OPS jobs
and/or functions are being transferred or divested. These obligations include making
reasonable efforts to negotiate job offers for as many affected employees as possible,
on terms and conditions as similar as possil::!le to the affected employees' current terms
and conditions, including recognition of service and seniority.
Key changes
The Public Sector Transition Stability Act, 1997 will not apply to employees affected by
internal OPS restructuring or when services move to the private sector (situations 1 and
2. above). It may apply, if passed, to OPS employees who are transferred to
organizations in the BPS (situation 3),
-1-
. If the new employer is already unionized, the former OPS employees may be
hired into the existing bargaining unit(s), depending upon the nature of the work
performed, The Act's regulation-making powers will provide that the seniority of
former OPS employees may be recognized in the collective agreement of the
new employer.
. When former OPS employees are hired by a public sector employer currently
involved in an amalgamation or merger under the Act, the employees will be
treated the same as employees who were not unionized prior to the
amalgamation. Therefore, these employees would have their seniority protected
and be able to take part in any vote that is conducted to determine which, if any,
union would represent the new bargaining unit into which they were hired, For
details, please see Fact Sheet #3 "How The New Transition Processes Will
WorK.
. If the new employer is not unionized, the employees may be hired, subject to
reasonable efforts, under terms and conditions as determined by the employer.
. Employees who are not members of an OPS union would have their relevant
OPS service recognized for seniority purposes if they were placed in a
bargaining unit with the new employer.
The legislation will also amend the Employment Standards Act so that severance pay
requirements are not necessarily triggered when an employee moves from one
employer to another. Under the proposed legislation, the Crown will have the same
obligation as other employers with respect to severance pay. Currently, severance
must be paid to Crown employees when they leave the OPS. However, the legislation
provides the current employer with the option, suRject to collective agreement
obligations, to transfer severance obligations to tfie new employer. This means OPS
employees' right to severance may be transferred to a new employer. If they left the
new employer they would receive severance pay based on their combined years of
service with the BPS employer and the OPS.

Assessment (EA) study for the extension of Highway 407, east from
Markham Road to Highway 7, east of Brock Road, This report provides an
overview of the EA report completed for the study and examines the
implications of the study recommendations to Durham Region,
2. Overview of Highwav 407 Interim Extension EA Report
2,1 On October 15, 1996, Joint Report No. 96-J-21 advised Planning and Works
Committees that MTO was'initiating an EA study for an interim extension of,
Highway 407, from Markham Road to Highway 7, east of Brock Road. This
interim extension, illustrated in Attachment 1, was proposed to address
traffic-related impacts expected to occur when Highway 407 opens to
Markham Road in 1998. The report outlined the rationale and process for the
EA study, and identified potential implications to the Region of the extension.
2.2 Since that time, MTO has completed the EA study and submitted the report to
the Ministry of the Environment and Energy (MOEE) for approval. The
Executive Summary of the report is appended as Attachment 2. As part of
their circulation process, MOEE has requested the Region's comments on
the document. This correspondence is provided as Attachment 3.
2.3 The EA report documents the need and justification for the extension of
Highway 407, and its associated Transitway, east from Markham Road. The
study concluded that Highway 407 should be extended to address immediate
and long term transportation needs at the Durham - MetrolYork boundary,
The EA report also states that implementation of the ultimate Highway 407
will be staged over time, depending Qn economic considerations and travel
demands, This will involve:
. in the short term, extending Highway 407 east of Markham Road as a
four-lane facility. This addresses traffic problems on Highway 7 and
Markham Road, and in the communities of Box Grove, Green River,
Locust Hill, Whitevale, Brougham and Greenwood, resulting from the
opening of Highway 407 west of Markham Road, At-grade

intersections and partial ramping may be provided at certain locations
as interim measures; and
. ultimately, providing a ten-lane Highway 407 and a higher-order transit
facility, such as a dedicated bus lane or a light rail line, adjacent to the
freeway. The freeway and Transitway will be needed to accommodate
anticipated auto and transit travel demands in this corridor.
2.4 Based on these conclusions, the EA report seeks approval to protect
adequate right-of-way for a ten-lane freeway and Transitway, and to
construct, in stages, Highway 407 and a higher-order transit facility, from
Markham Road to Highway 7, east of Brock Road. This includes:
. constructing full interchanges at Markham Road, 9th Line, and
Markham By-pass in the Town of Markham; at the Durham-York line
(Regional Road 30); and at Brock Road (Regional Road 1) in the Town
of Pickering, Full interchanges will also be provided at two locations
between Regional Road 30 and Brock Road, which will be detennined
at a later date through the Seaton planning process;
. realigning Highway 7 in the vicinity,~f Regional Road 30, to allow for
the Regional Road 30/Highway407' interchange;
. reconstructing Highway 7 east of Brougham to prOVide a connection
between Highway 407 and Highway 7;
. constructing grade separations at North Road, Sideline 24, and
Sideline 16 in Pickering; and at 10th line and the CPR Havelock
Subdivision west of the little Rouge Creek in Markham; and
. closing all north-south roads crossed by Highway 407, where
interchanges and grade separations are not provided.
. .
2.5 In a traditional EA report, preliminary designs for the facility .are typically
prepared to identify the mitigating measures required to address
environmental, cultural or other impacts. For this EA, MTO is proposing to
undertake a combined preliminary and detailed design phase, once approval
is granted. With MTO's intention to stage the design and construction of
Highway 407, this approach will ensure that the most up-to-date mitigation

practices are incorporated into the design at the time of construction, and will
allow accelerated time lines for construction to be achieved.
2,6 To ensure the specific environmental concerns of the affected parties are
considered in the subsequent design phase, a stakeholder consultation
process and public information centres are proposed. The areas of concern
which will be examined in detail are noted in the EA report,
3, Implications to Durham Region
3.1 The interim extension of Highway 407, from Markham Road to Highway 7,
east of Brock Road, is an important first step in completing the freeway
network in the Region, and provides needed transportation capacity across
the Durham - MetrolYork boundary, The extension follows the technically-
preferred route endorsed by Regional Council in 1991 (Joint Report No. 91-J-
31), and terminates at an interim location that poses minimal impact on the
established rural hamlets.
3.2 Notwithstanding the above, there are issues that remain to be addressed:
Brock Road Interchange Location '.'
,
The Durham Regional Official Plan (ROP) designates a future Brock Road
by-pass, east of Brougham. This by-pass will be required to ensure Brock
Road can provide Type A arterial road service, once the Brock Road/Highway
407 interchange and the future airport are implemented, At present, the
exact location of this by-pass is not known,
Maps in the EA report schematically locate the Brock Road/Highway 407
interchange on the existing Brock Road alignment. The report indicates that
the designs are conceptual and subject to preliminary design modifications
and approvals, It also states that early in the design phase, interchange
placement and configuration issues Will be addressed,
Further discussion with the Regional Works Department and MTO is required
to determine the preferred location for the Brock Road by-pass of Brougham
and the Brock Road/Highway 407 interchange.

Commissioner's Report No. 97-P-70
Relocation of Highway 7
Page 5
Highway 7 presently follows Regional Road 30 for a short north-south section
along the Durham-York boundary, The EA report proposes the relocation of
Highway 7 in this area for a short section between Green River, in Pickering,
and Locust Hill, in Markham, to accommodate the Regional Road 30/Highway
407 interchange, However, the proposed realignment will not result in a by-
pass of these two hamlets, As a result, the hamlets will continue to
experience significant traffic volumes, even with the Highway 407 extension.
A Highway 7 by-pass of Green River is not identified in the ROP. However,
at the request of the Town of Pickering, a ROP amendment is presently being
considered to designate this by-pass, as it is identified in the Town's Official
Plan.
Given that the relocation of Highway 7 is required to facilitate the construction
of Highway 407, implementing by-passes of Green River and Locust Hill at
the same time may result in positive benefits. Without predetermining the
merits of the ROP amendment application, MTO should be requested to
assess the feasibility of implementing these by-passes, when Highway 7 is
relocated as part of the Highway 407 exteJ1;?ion. Further discussion on the
merits of the by-passes is also required with the Region of York and Town of
Markham.
Interchanges and Grade Separations in the Seaton Area.
The ROP designates two interchanges with, and three grade-separated
crossings of, Highway 407 in the Seaton area, The EA report references the
two interchanges, and indicates that their locations will be determined
through the Seaton planning process, The Regional Planning Department,
as a participant in the Seaton studies, will continue to ensure that the
locations of these facilities adequately. address Regional interests.
Grade separations at North Road and Sideline 24 are identified in the EA
report for this area, A third grade separation is not proposed at this time, but
could be considered at a later date, subject to need and financial
considerations.

As noted in the Transportation Priorities Report of February, 1997 (Joint
Report No. 97-J-2), the nearly completed widening of Highway 401 and the
interim exlension of Highway 407, both to Brock Road, will influence local and
regional travel patterns in two ways. Firstly, the availability of these facilities
will alter travel routes, resulting in a redistribution of traffic volumes on the
arterial road system. Secondly, the absence of a high speed linkage
between the two freeways will place additional stress on the existing arterial
roads, which will be used as linkages between Highways 401 and 407. This
demand may necessitate the widening and realignment of facilities, such as
Brock Road and Westney Road, at Regional expense,
Continued monitoring of transportation conditions in this area, and the timely
implementation of the Region's transportation priorities, as identified in Joint
Report No. 97 -J-2, will assist in identifying and alleviating these concerns,
Any Regional road improvements required will be addressed through the
annual capital budget process,
4, Conclusions
. ,
4.1 The conclusions and recommendations pr~sented in the Highway
407/fransitway, Markham Road Easterly to Highway 7, East of Brock Road
Environmental Assessment Report pose minimal implications to Durham. It
is, therefore, recommended that the EA report be endorsed, and the
Ministries of Environment and Energy and Transportation be advised.
Notwithstanding, further discussions are required with MTO and other
affected parties to confirm the Brock Road interchange location and the
feasibility of Highway 7 by-passes of Green River and Locust Hill. Planning
Committee will be kept inform'ed of these discussions,
4.2 The exlension of Highway 407 through Durham will provide significant
economic benefits to the Region an~ is critica', to achieving many of the urban
structure and quality of life objectives stated in the ROP, As the first step in
the Highway 407 expansion program, the interim exlension from Markham
Road to Highway 7, east of Brock Road, should be supported, Although this
is an important milestone, Regional Council should continue to pursue the
expedited exlension of Highway 407ITransitway easterly through Durham.
This will require MTO to reactivate the EA study for the remaining portion of

Highway 407 easterly to Highway 35/115, including the interconnecting
freeways,
4.3 The EA report emphasized that the ultimate Highway 407 extension is only
one component of the long term strategy needed to satisfy travel demands at
the Durham-MetrolYork boundary. As noted in the EA report, and in other
reports presented to Planning Committee (95-P-105, 96-P-117), a
combination of roadway, transit and transportation demand management
measures, such as improved live-work relationships, will be required to
address longer term needs. On-going monitoring of development activity and
transportation trends will assess how well this combination of measures is
addressing transportation challenges in this critical location.

A. BACKGROUND &
mSTORY
Highway 407 (see Exhibit 1) was
initially considered during the 1940s
and 1950s and, since that time, bas
been incorporated into the planning
of all major tranSpOrtation and land
use decisions, for what is now
known as the Greater Toronto Area
(GTA).
In the early pan of 1990. the
Ministry of Transportation (MTO)
carried out a Rowe PIanning smdy
to identify a teehnically preferred
route for Highway 407 rrransitway
between Markham Road and
Highway 35/115. This Route
Planning Study eV3luated several
route alternatives on the basis of a
broad range of environmental
effeas in consultation with affected
agencies, mnn;cipalities and the
public, The study identified a
technically preferred route for the
facility,
The original schedule for the
construction of Highway 407
between Highway 403 in Oakville
and Highway 35/115 in C!arington,
anticipated a program that would
meet the traffic tlpmonl1 without
adversely affecting the local road
system, However. in the early
199O's the construction of Highway
407 was accelerated when the
Province annoUDCetl a contract to
develop, design and build Highway
407 from Highway 403 in the City
of Mississanga to Markham Road in
the Town of Markham, Under this
accelerated program, the Highway
407 contract requires Highway 407
to be completed. to Markham Road
by the end of 1998. With the
accelention of the construction
progf3lIl for Highway 407 west of
Marlcbam Road. tbe coosuuction of
Highway 407 ftn.net!;ately east of
MarIcbam Road would not occur in
time to address significant traffic
problems in the Markham area,
In early 1996, the Ministry evaluated
the feasibility of ways of addressing
the traffic concerns related to the
planned 1998 completion of Highway
407 to Markham Road.
The Environmental AssessmenL Repon
documents the results of the studies
that selected the technically preferred
route and concluded with the decision
to extend Highway 407 and a
Transitway from Markham Road to
Highway 7 east of Brock Road. The
project location is shown on Exhibit
2,
B. PROBLEM AND
OPPORTIJNlTIES
Chapter 2 of the EA Repon provides
a synoPsis of the tranSpOrtation
analysis carried out for the project
and documents the need for more
traIlSJlortation capacity,
, ,
.~
Over the past three decades, ,numerous
planning and tranSpOrtation studies
have been undertaken in west Durham
and the eastern portions of
Metropolitan Toronto and York
Region. All of these studies
recognized the tranSpOrtation related
consttainls in and around the GT A and
the need for additional east-west
traIlSJlortation capacity across. the
Metro- York/Dwilam Boundary. A
number of these studies also
recognized that a combination. of
roadway, transit and Transportation
Demand Managemem: (fDM)
improvements is required to satiSfy
existing and future tranSpOrtation
demands.
For this EA, screenline analyses were
carried out for three horizon years:
1998, 2011 and 2021. Exbibit 3 (a)
displays the analysis for a scenario
with Highway 407 extending to
Markham Road, while Exhihit 3 (bl
shows the analysis of a scenario with
Highway 407 extending to Brock
Road/Highway 7 as a 4-1.ane
"interim" freeway facility.
1998 Deficiencies
The traffic analysis demonstrates that
when Highway 407 Cenrral opens to
Markham Road, the following
conditions can be expected:
. Markham Road between Highway
7 and Highway 407 will be
extremely congeSled;
. tile Highway" corridor will have a
capacity deficiency equivalent of 1-

Highway 407fTransirway
Markham Road &surly to Hillhway 7 East of Brock Road
2 lanes of arterial capacity
(one-way);
traffic is expected to ~rease
on: Highway 7 east of
Marldlam Road; 14th Avenue;
and Wbirevale Road. This will
result in increased traffic
through the communities of
Box Grove, Green River,
Locust Hill, Wbitevale,
Brougham and Greenwood;
and
there will be deficiencies
across the Metro-
York:lDurham boundary, even
with the completion of the
widening of Highway 401 to
12 lanes as far as Brock Road.
20ll Deficiencies
By 2011, there are expected to be
1TUfi0r capacity deficiencies crossing
the MetrO- Y ork/Durbam boundary
for both person and road demands,
Transit ridership is estimated to
increase by more than SO % in the
peak boor across !be boundary over
1998 volumes,
It also is expected that high density
employment nodes will continue to
be developed along the Highway
7/407 corridor tbrough Markbam
and Vaughan, tbereby creating
opporwnities for a major =it
corridor to capmre =it riders,
The provision of =it in the
Highway 7/407 corridor is essential
to link Dwbam with York Region
and north Metro through high
quality transit rnom""';ljns and to
achieve the transit capacity needed
by 2011.
Even with Highway 407 as a four
lane facility across the boundary
(i.e, to Brock: RoadIHighway 7),
there will be a IOtal deficiency
across the Meuo- Y orlclDurbam
boundary equiva1eot 10 15 anerial
lanes (one-way) :across the entire
screenIine. In !be Highway 7/407
corridor alone, there will be a capacity
deficiency of 4 anerial lanes (one-
way),
By 2011, there will be a deficiency
east of Brock Road equivalent to a
total of 10 anerial lanes (one-way)
with or without the extension of
Highway 407 to Brock Road.
2021 and Beyond
SlUdies show that both population and
employment in the Region of Dutham
will more than double between 1998
and 2021'.
Projections for the year 2021 show
deficiencies at the Metro-
Y ork:lDurham boundary in the
Highway 401 and Highway 7/407
corridors of 15 and 7 anerial lanes
respectively.
Beyond 2021, the GTA is expected to
continue to be a major focus of
industrial and business activity in
Ontario. Therefore, while travel
patterns may cbange and be mitigated
by changes affeaed by deDland,
supply and growth managt:inent
strategies, the travel dellllllids in both
the Highway 40] and Highway 7
corridors are expected to continue to
grow,
S/lJtI11Ul/1 of Deficiencies
It is clear from the analysis carried out
for this stUdy and supported by past
srodies that there is a need' for
additional road and transit capacity
within the Highway 7 corridor east of
M:u1dJam Road. 'lbeIe are also limited
opportunities for meeting this need
through additional anerial capacity,. It
was on the basis of this need that the
planning for the Highway 407
rrransitway was carried out.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY
C. STUDY AREA
For the purposes of the system
planning pbase and transportation
analysis, the study area included the
Greater Toromo Area (GT A) and
adjacem regions influencing the
travel demands within the GT A.
When reviewing exrension/staging
options, a study area between
Markbam Road and Sideline 14 in
the Town of Pickering was used (see
Exlnbit 4),
The stUdy areas were determined
taking into consideration existing and
proposed land uses, environmental
constraints, transportation netWork
need and commentS received during
the consultation process.
D. ALTER.'lATIVES TO THE
UNDERTAKING
Cbapter 3 of the EA Repon provides
a description, assessment and
evaluation of the planning
alternatives whieb could be
impkU'~n...d to resolve the
transportation/traffic problems
presemed in Cbapter 2. The
following alternatives were
consideted:
Do Nothing - This alternative
assumes that Highway 407 will be
completed and opened to Markham
Road from the west. in 1998. It also
assumes that there will be no
improvCD1Cms to increase vehicular
and/or person trip capacity in and
tbrougb the Durham Region in 1998,
other than the ongoing widening of
Highway 40 1 to Brock Road in
Pickering, The stUdy conc1uded that
the do nothing alternative is DOt a
practical so1ulion to the problems
being addressed in this stUdy.
Improvements to Transit Service -
This altemative iDc1udes possible
improvements to GO Rail, beavy rail

Highway 407/Transirway
Markham Road Easterly la HiRhway 7 East af Brack Road
coocIuded that transit improvements
will not by Ih"-m<elves satisfy
existing or future travel demands
across the Metro- Y orkJDurbam
boundary, or resolve anticipated
traffic problems in the Markham
Road area.
Improved Transportation System
Management Measures (TSM) -
This alternative involves measures
to maximize existing infrastructure
capacity such as improved
sign.li7Jlrion, addition of turning
lanes at intersections, etc.
The analysis concluded that TSM
measures could resu\t in minor
localized improvements on
roadways within the Study Area.
However, they will not adequately
address the traffic problems in the
MarldJam Road area. They will also
DOt adequately address existing or
future deficiencies in transportation
system capacity across the Metro-
Y orkIDurIwn boundaIy.
Promotion of Transportation
Demand Management ('IDM)
Improvements - This alternative
includes such measures as
telecommuting, trip sharing,
developing High Occupancy V chicle
(HOV) systemS, etc, The study
concluded that TDM measures do
not represent a practical solution to
the defined shan term problems in
the Markham Road area and the
deficiencies across the Metro-
Y orkJDurlJam hnnntbry,
Upgrade Arteria1JMunidpal
Roadways This alternative
involves ''P''M;"g the existing
II1llDicipal s)'stem to' provide
additional travel Janes and/or HOV
or tnnSit only lanes. However the
analysis rnnrIM'"(! that there is
IimilM oppommir,y in both the shon
and IOIlg tenns ID affect the capacity
concerns at Maritham Road or
increase the apacity across the
Metro- Y orl:lDu:dwn bounda1y
using existing or future arterial roads.
Growth Management This
alternative involves land use strategies
to increase employment to population
tatios thereby reducing the number of
work trips across the Metro -
Y orklDurham boundary. In the shon
and medium term time-frames (up to
20 years), there will be 1imited
opportunities to affect significant
changes in travel pattems through
growth management. Therefore, this
alternative has little potential for
addressing the traffic problems and
capacity deficiencies,
Extend Highway 407 Easterly -This
alternative involves the extension of
Highway. '407 and a new transitway
easterly from Markbam Road. This
alternative is the only planning
alternative that will adequately satisfy
existing and future tranSpOrtation
/ttaffic and social (COIDIIUIity) issues.
Conclusion:
The analysis of the foregoing
alternatives resulted in the. 4'ecision
that:
. Extending Highway 407 east of
Martcbam Road as an .interim" 4-lllne
facility is a logical first priority in the
package of improvemeDlS to resolve
existing soon term capacity
deficiencies across the Metro-
Y orklDurham boundary and traffic
problems within C('mnnm;ries.in the
Highway 7 corridor ("the problem').
This improvement, compared to the
other planning alternatives, is the only
one that satisfies both shan and longer
term mobility requiremeoIs.
. In recognition: of the future
anticipated travel demands a right-of-
way for a basic 1O-12De freeway
facility will be protected for at this
time.
. Also, in recognition of the future
tnnSit demands, as articulated in
Cbapter 2 of theEA Repon, there is a
defined need to protect for a higher
ENVIRONMENIAL ASSESSMENT sruDY
order transit facility or transitway
which will parallel Highway 407.
The "key'
recommended
include:
reasons for the
planning alternative
. In the shon term, it provides the
maximum relief to the tranSponation
problems rela!ed to the termination of
Highway 407 at Markham Road. It
also provides maximum relief to
east-west capacity constraints across
the Metro- Y orklDurham boundary,
. It represems a critical component
in the future tranSponation networks
for the Regions of Durham and York
as previously identified in the
Highway 407 Overview Study and
the Regional Official Plans.
. It provides the oppommity to
protect an appropriate right-of-way
that allows for higher order transit
senricc in the future.
. Improved tnnSit sel'\oi=, TSM
and roM measures, upgrading of
existing arterials and II1llDicipal
roadways and community gro\\.w
management within Durham, will not
solve the shon.term tnnSponation
problems.
. Even though the easterly
extension of Highway 407 as a 4 lane
faci1ity will pro\ide significant east-
west capacity across the Metro-
Y ork/Durbam bounda.ty, it will DOt
be able to Satisfy all cross boundary
traffic demands in year 2011 and
beyODd. The traffic analyses carried
out for this Study have idemified that
an nltim::ll'.. lO-lane extension of
Highway 407 would best address the
loog-teml capaciIy deficiencies within
the study area.
Both the future 10-lane freeway and
the transitway will form pan of a
halauced tranSpOnation plan for
Durbam, Yolk and Metro and will
serve to paniaIly address future
travel demand requirements in the
Highway 7/407 corridor.

E. EXISTING
CONDITIONS
Chapler 4 of the EA Report
describes lhe existing conditions
within lhe study area. The soils in
the entire study area are classified
as having Class 1-2 capability for
agriculture. A1lhoUgh much of the
area is in agricultural usage, the
local Official Plans designate most
of the land for non-agricultural uses,
The exception is the Rouge-Duffins
Agricultural Area between the Little
Rouge and Wesl Duffins Creeks,
Urban development is currently
focused in lhe Town of Marldwn
and in rura1 hamlets including Box
Grove, Green River, Locust Hill,
Whitevale and Brougham, Future
urbanization is planned with major
developments proposed in the
Cornell and Seaton areas, Because
of lhe proximity of the corridor to
exisling and proposed
developments, noise and visual
impacts were a consideration during
route planning and assessment.
The major natural features in the
study area are associated wilh the
nonh-soulh oriented watercourses,
Terrestrial and aquatic Studies
conducted for the EA sbow that the
waterCOUrSes and valleys associated
with the Rouge River, Little Rouge
Creek, West Duffins Creek, Urfe
Creek and a tributary of the West
Duffins Creek and Brougham Creek
provide lhe most significant
fisheries and wildlife habitat,
These valley systems also provide
valued corridor functions and
therefore "'ere a major
consideration throughout lhe study.
Many oflhese valley systems are
within the proposed Rouge Nonh
Park, and the Whitevale Corridor
ESA,
In addition to !be valley systems,
areas of upland vegetation were
identified with certain significant
woodlots in the Town of Markham
being avoided during route pJanning,
There are zones of high water table,
groundwater recharge and upwelling
that were impottant considerations in
lhe identification and assessment of
route alternatives.
The study area has numerous
archaeological sites and several
historical buildings. Therefore,
impacts to heritage resources were
considered during the assessment of
alternatives.
The existing tI3DSpOrtation netwolk in
the study area is comprised of a
combination of federal, provincial and
municipal,' roadways and transit
systems. AF, discussed in Section B,
dealing with problems and
opportunities, this transportation
system is currently experiencing
considerable congestion and will be
unable to band1e the anticipated
increase in travel demand,
There are no existing utilities nor
geolechnical conditions witijin lhe
study area that were considered to
represent a major constraint during
route identification or evaluation,
Based upon a thorough understanding
of the study area, 26 factors and 88
associated indicators were identified
and used in the evaluation of route
alternatives. These indicators are
described in Appendix 1 to the EA
Report.
F. ROUTE PLANNING
ALTERNATIVES
Chapter 5 of the EA describes' the
Route Planning phase of the study in
detail. This phase of the study was
completed in 1992. During this phase
of the study, allernative route
segments were identified using a
constraiDls approach. In other words
major constraint areas were avoided
wbere possible, The route alternatives,
and constraints affecting their seleclioo

are shown in ExhibitS. The various
route segments were assessed with
respect to their impact on 88
indicators under the following factor
areas:

The assessment led to the
identification of the T ecbnical1y
Preferred Route shown in Exhibit 2.
Throughout the identification,
assessment and analysis of
alternatives, external agencies,
rmmiripa1ities, special interest grOUps
and the public were consulted, This
consultation involved mailings,
meetings, and Public Consulwion
Sessions. The consultation process is
described in detail in Chapler 1 of the
EA.
The Tecbnically Preferred Route was
presented to the stakeholders and
comments were in\'iled, In response
to a request from special interest
groups, an alternative location for
crossing the Little Rouge Creek was
investigated and eventually selected
because it crossed at a less
environmentally sensitive location.
Significant traffic increases are
anticipated on the road network east
of Markham Road with the opening
of Highway 407 10 Marldwn Road,
and it has been determined that an
extension of Highway 407 easl of
Marldwn Road is the best available
solution.
Subsequently 3 extension staging
options were identified and
evaluated, Tbese included extensions
to:
. the proposed MarIdlam Bypass:
the Durham-Yolk Line: and
. Highway 7 east of Brock Road,

Highway 407fTransitway
Markham Road EAslerlv 10 Hil(hwav 7 EAst of Brock Road
Each option followed the technically
preferred route identified through
the Route Planning phase,
The 3 options, along with the "Do-
nothing Option". were evaluated in
light of the environmental, social,
cuJtw'aI, agricultural, economic and
transportation implications. Since
many of the impacts had already
been dealt with during the Route
Planning phase, the key determining
faclOr in evaluating the extension
sUlging options was the traffic
implications in the communities of
Markham, Green River, Whitevale,
Box Grove, Locust Hill, Brougham
and Greenwood. Exhibit 6 shows
the projected traffic impacts of each
option on the local communities
based on traffic modelling.
As described in Chapter 5 of the
EA, the extension to Highway 7
east of Brock Road was necessary
[0 min;m;'7e any potential increase
in traffic through local communities.
This extension results in a lowering
of traffic in all communities other
than Greenwood. Although the
ttaflic increase in Greenwood is nOt
expected to be significant, the Town
of Pickering and Region of Durtwn
are cuITently investigating a
combination of traffic calming and
roadway improvements to address
these traffic coocerns.
G. RATIONALE FOR THE
UNDERTAKING
The environ~r::lll assessment
concluded that the selected route
was optimal from a number of
sUlDdpoints including:
· The route takes ~Y';mnm
advanUlge of opportunities to avoid
social, environmental, and
engineering constraints identified
through the data coDection process;
· The route tninimi7'es impacts
upon esUlblished communities;
· The route is !be most compatIble
with federal. provincial and
municipal policy initiatives; and
. The preferred alternative is
reasonably direct through the study
area.
Furthermore the study concluded that
the immediate extension to Highway
7 east of Brock Road was preferred
for the following reasons:
· Terminating Highway 407 at
Markham Road (i.e. Do Nothing) is
not a desirable option because it does
not address the significant traffic
problems that will be experienced in
the Town of Markham and
communities east of Markham Road
with the opening of Highway 407;
· Many of the public comments
received expressed a general desire to
extend Highway 407 to the east of
Brougham, as soon as possible;
· Although this option impacts the
natural and cultural environment, and
agricuJturaJ lands, it reduces projected
traffic volumes on Markham Road and
within the villages of Green River,
Whiteyale, Locust Hill, Box Grove
and Brougham, without significantly
increasing the traffic volumes through
other communities. The other options
did not result in reduced '.traffic
volumes in all of these commuclties.
· This option is accepUlble to the
Town of Markham and the Regional
Municipality of York because it
relieves the future traffic volumes in
the Town of Markham, Box Grove
and Locust Hill, and supports the
CorneD development.
· This opIion is strongly preferred
by the Town of Pickering and the
Regional Municipality of Dui'ham
because it relieves the future traffic
volumes in Green River, Whitevale
and Brougham, and supports economic
development in the DurI)am Region.
· There is also. general public
suppon for this option because it will
reduce traffic volumes in the
communities along the rowe.
· This option crosses several
sigJ'ifir2nt watercourses, and concerns
have been expressed by regulatory
agencies, interest groups and the
public. The impaas have been
reduced through the development of an
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSME1"T STUDY
I
I
I
I
I
alignment through the Route Planning
Study that avoids more sensitive
environmental features. In addition,
bridges are proposed at the major
river crossings [0 further reduce the
impacts on vegeUltion, fisheries and
wildlife. Extensive consulUltion with
affected sUlkeholders during the
Feasibility Study resulted in the
development of a Stakeholder
COnsulUltion Process. which
identifies comminnents to future
work and mitigation of environmental
impacts during the design and
implemenUltion phase. It also
specifies a process through which
sUlkeholders are involved with the
design and construCtion process. As
weD, further public consuJtation
sessions will be held to receive
additional input. Tbese commianents
are discussed in more detail in
Section I below. and in Chapter 6 or
the EA Repon.

H. DESCRIPTION OF THE
UNDERT..u;:D;G
In 1997, the EA ACt was amended.
This EA. for Highway 407 and a
Transitway is b.oing submitted in
accordance with the transition
provisions of rhe amended Act. As
such, MTO has requested to have
Pan n of rhe previous EA Act; and
those provisions of Pan n of the new
Aa with respect to mediation and rhe
Section 12.2 activities permitted
before approval. to apply to this EA.
The location of the undenaking for
which approval is being sought is
illustrated in Exhibit 2. The
undertaking includes the:
· Design, conslt'Uction, operation
and maintenance of a freeway (up to

associated fe3mres, which may
include but are nO[ limited to:
Stormwater management facilities;
lemporary consrruction easements;
access roads; and
mitigarionlcompeDSation measures.
Approval of !be undertaking by the
Minister of Environment and
Energy will allow the Ministry of
Transponation (MTO) or its agent
10:
· refine !be alignment and
propeny requirements for the
undertaking during the design phase;
. file a designation plan for the
undertaking;
. acquire propeny necessary for
implemeDUltion of the undertaking;
and
. design, consuuct, operate and
m.;n"in the completed highway and
transirway, and the associated
features.
Impl""""",,rion of the undertaking will
take place over a number of years and
reflect financial conditions and
trafficltransit d"m.tv\s. k is likely that
the impl~"","",rion of the project will
be staged. This staging may include:
. Phasing of the ultimate basic 10 lane
highway ,cross section to respond 10
traffic demands. InitiaJ consnuction
could consist of 2 basic lanes per
direction, phts auxiliary lanes where
required. The additional Janes would
be added as traffic demands grow and
dOWlistream roadway capacity to
handle the added traffic is in place.
. Opening of the highway to traffic as
sections become avail2ble fo~ use.
. SUlging of some interchahges and
grade separations witl1 at grade
intersections initially.
. SUlging of imerchange ramps 10
provide for moves restricted to certain
directions initially with others being
added when traffic d"m.nds/nerwork
development warnm.
. Provision of an interim connection
at Highway 7 east of Brock Road
. Consauction of a Transitway in a
separate corridor adjacent to Highway
407.
It is imponant to note that mitigating
measures will be planned and designed
on the basis of the:ultimate facility.
However, the impJ..",..""rion of
mitigating measures may also be
phased in accotdance with the impacts
associated with each phase of
implementation.
Note: The approval being sought by
this EA, and the commitments made
in this EA. will apply to and be

bindiDg upon tbe Ministry of
Transportation. its agents,
successors, transfers and/or
assigns, and will be applicable to
the design, construction, operation
and maintenance of the
undertaking.
I. SUMMARY OF CONCERNS
AND COt.ll\fiTMENTS
ThrOUghOUI the planning of this
undenaking, the ProjeCt Team sought
to identify areas of enviromnental
concern and 10 identify a roUte thaI
was sensitiVe to these concerns. With
a project of this narore, il is DOl
possible to avoid all environmental
impacts. Therefore, it will be
imponam that during the design
phase, measures are developed to
further reduce unavoidable impacts.
A key component of this effon to
reduce environmental impacts is the
Stakeholder Consultation Process
that was developed with extensive
input by the stakeholder agencies. It
was also re,iewed with the public
and imerest groups at the last round
of public consulUltion sessions.
The design team will meet with the
stakebolders on a regular basis
during the design and constnlCtion
phase. A scbedule of meetings will
be esUlblished at the outsel of
consulUltion 10 ensure thaI
stakcl101ders can effectively schedule
their participation. As well, all
meetings will be documented.
To keep the public informed through
the design phase and to allow for
public inpUI. twO public consulUltion
sessions will be held during the
design phase. In addition, public
notification of the Ct'mm.-nr=ent of
consauction will be provided.
Specific commitmentS 10
euvironft'ljOOnf"lIl procection measures..
ongoing consultation and follow-up
monitoring will be docum~n,"J1 in
"Design and Construction ReportS"
and made available to the

stakebolders for review and
comment prior to the
commencement of consauction.
During the consultation phase of
this study, numerous specific
commitments were made to ensure
that environmental and cultural
resources are protected. These
cornmirm....ms are detailed in
Chapter 6 of the EA Repon and
summarized in Table 6.6.1 - A
Summary of ConcernslPotential
Effects! Proposed r.mig;oti..g
Measures and Commitments to
Further Work.
Table 6.6.1 tlnnnno:nrs the specific
environmemal concerns, who raised
the concern, wbar the porenriaI
effect could be. and how these
effeCts will be addressed. Ie should
be read in conjunction with the
I: 10,000 Plates illuscraring the
undertaking - also provided in
Chapter 6. The commianems that
apply to the enlire route are .lt2rhed
to this SUIIlIIlaIy_
J. CONCLUSION
Traffic scudies demonstrate that
there will be serious craffic
problems on the area road netWork
east of Markham Road and in
communities to the east when
Highway 407 opens at Markham
Road withOut an easterly extenSion
of Highway 407. Furthermore,
studies show that there is a
significant shonfaI1 in east.west
transponation capacity in the
Highway 7 corridor and across e
Durham-York boundaIy.
An e=ion of Highway 407 and a
Transitway is needed 10 address
these immedi3Ie and longer-tenn
transponation problems.
The analysis shows that this
extenSion IlIIJS[ go as far east as
Highway 7 easI of Brock Road to
mmnm7t" aaffic impacts on the local
communities.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY
The proposed route has been selected
from a nnmber of alternatives, giving
consideration 10 a broad range of
enviro..meot.I, social. cultural,
economic and transpOnation concerns.
As well, the affected governmem
agencies, municipalities, interest
groups and public have been involved
throughout the study. This
involvement has resulted in ongoing
rej;~m...... to the project.
The Stakeholder Consultation Process
to be implMT1t''lted as part of the
design and consuuction phase is
unique and will ensure that
stakeholders have the opponunity to
work with the design team to address
site specific environmental concerns.
This will ensure that the project is
imp.........."" in a way that is sensitive
to the environmem, and public and
agency concerns.

Re: Deferral of Section 15.:U and Section 15.3.7 of Clarington Official Plan
Dear Mayor Hamre and Members of Council:
As you are aware, SAGA has been participating in the discussions regarding
these deferrals. We wish to make it known to Council that we are in support
of the recommendation of planning staff as outlined in Report No. PD-83~97,
to appeal these sections to the ontario MUnicipal Board, that they may be
added to the other matters that are before the Board.
, ,
We continue to support Clarington COurlcil'sposition that the Ganaraska
headwaters area is too vulnerable an area to allow extraction of aggregates,
and we will continue to monitor the progress of the "scoping" sessions.
Yours sincerely,
Katherine Guselle, President
for SAGA (Save the Ganaraska AGAIN)

Dear C.W. Lundy:
Thank you for your letter of April 2, 1997 concerning the impact of the proposed 25%
residential tax rate on farmlands and outbuildings for farm properties.
1- The new 25% tax rate is the equivalent amount of taxes that eligible farmers paid after
receiving their farm tax rebate payment, In this regard" this new tax rate will provide fair
property tax treatment for eligible farmers. " '
, In 1970, the Farm Tax Rebate Program was initiated as an interim tax relief mechanism, until
. real property tax reform could be implemented. The rebate percentage escalated from 25% in
'1970 up to 100% in 1988-89 and then settled at 75%, which is the rate in 1997. The
4-unstability of the rebate level and the dependence upon an annual order-in-council were
among the concerns of Ontario's farm groups over the past decades. With the proposed Fair
Municipal Finance Act, 1997, true property tax reform will finally be realized across Ontario
and, in particular, for Ontario farmers. Once the legislation is passed, the need for the existing
Farm Tax Rebate Program will be eliminated, and effective January I, 1998 farmers will
finally receive fair property tax treatment. This direction of fairness in property taxation has
been the policy of the Government of Ontario since 1970 and a key issue for Ontario farm
groups for decades.
It is acknowledged that the elimination of the Farm Tax Rebate Program, and the institution of
the proposed new tax rate for eligible farmland will impact a number of rura1 municipalities. y
...f2
- 2-
To address this concern and others, this government has agreed to establish a~
Ly Community Reinvestment Fund to assist affected municipalities in adjusting to the Who Does
Wliat decisions. As you may be aware, on May 2, 1997 the Government of Ontario
agreed with many of the proposed changes recommended by the Association of Municipalities
of Ontario (AMO). Along with the AMO proposals, the province agreed to reduce the
permanent fund to $500 million, as suggested by the AMO, and established an additional $70
million transition fund. These funding commitments were confirmed in the 1997 Ontario
Budget announced on May 6 by my colleague, Emie Eves, Minister of Finance.
It is my intention, as stated on a number of occasions, to work with rura1 municipalities to
ensure they receive a fair share of these funds to address their unique needs, as a result of the
many WOW decisions. Staff of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
are working with other ministries and with the Provincial-Municipal Transition Team to
develop a framework for the use of these funds, in order to assist Ontario's rura1
municipalities.
As stated by the Minister of Finance in his May 6, 1997 budget, "we are reforming the
taxation of fannland and replacing the farm tax rebate with a lower property tax". This
decision, coupled with the changes announced on May 2, 1997, should provide eligible
Ontario farmers and Ontario's rura1 municipalities with property tax fairness, needed revenue
support and, most importantly, legislative certainty,
Please accept my best wishes and kindest personal regards.
Sincerely,
, "

campaign is to increase public awareness about neuromuscular disorders and the
services MDAC provides to thousands of Canadians and their families.
Canadian fire fighters have been supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association of
Canada for 43 years, having raised over $35 million, Throughout September, fire
fighters, chapter members, and hundreds of ' volunteers across Canada will raise funds
for vital research, client service, and education programs for those affected by
neuromuscular disorders.
On behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada, I would like to submit a
request that you proclaim the month of September 1997 to be Muscular Dystrophy
Awareness Month in the Municipality of Clarington.

EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF
NORTH YORK COUNCIL HELD ON
MAY 28,1997
189. Leave having been granted for the introduction of an additional item by Mayor
Lastman, Council considered the following:
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT - TELEPHONE GROSS RECEIPTS TAX - USE OF
MUNICIPAL RIGHTS-OF-WAY
It was moved by Mayor Lastman, seconded by Councillor Summers, that:
WHEREAS as part of the Downloading on municipalities the Province of Ontario is
grabbing the five percent telephone gross receipts tax paid to the City of North York
by the telephone companies for the use ot municipal rights-ot-way;
AND WHEREAS the taking away ot the gross receipts tax not only means a loss of
$10 million to the City ot North York and a total loss ot $44 million across
Metropolitan Toronto including the School Boards, but also potential tuture income
from the emerging fibre optics industry;
AND WHEREAS the future demand for space on our rights-of-ways could amount
to hundreds of millions in future revenues to Ontario Municipalities;
AND WHEREAS the Province of Ontario will be grabbing these revenues to reduce
its costs instead of being used to offset. property taxes since. it is the municipal
rights-of-ways that are being used;
AND WHEREAS Federal legislation gives the telephone companies the right to use
municipal property and for this right municipalities have always received these funds
in place of property taxes;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Province of Ontario not take away the
gross receipts tax now collected by Ontario Municipalities, or if they do then the
Province of Ontario must allow municipalities to be compensated for the right to use
our rights-of-ways;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if the Province of Ontario does not
compensate municipalities, the Federal Government be requested to amend its
legislation to require the telecommunications companies to pay municipalities
directly for the use of rights-ot-ways;

Dear Mayor Hamre and Council
AT the regular monthly Board meeting held on Tuesday, June
10, 1997, the following ,motion was passed:
"THAT the firm of Collis & Read Research, Bowmanville, be
hired to carry out a market study to examine the opinions,
needs and attitudes of residents living in the newer areas
of Bowmanville, concerning shopping in. Bowmanville's Down-
town'core, as outlined in their presentation to the Board,
at a total cost of $6,500."
The funds for this project are expected to come from the
negotiated amount of $25,000 identified for market study
purposes, as set forth in the ar~angem~nts made with the
west Bowmanville developers. To-date it is anticipated
that Clarington Place has already forwarded their share in
the amount of $4,666.67 to the Municipality. The balance
of $1,833.33 for this current initiative is expected to be
paid from the amount due from Markborough Properties when
they commence construction in the Fall, In the the mean-
time, as the $6,500 for the study is due and payable in
full by August 9, 1997, with a down payment of $1,500 due
on June 21, 1997, it would be helpful if the Municipality
could forward to us the $4,666.67 immediately, and advance
us $1,833.33 before August 1. DISTRIBUTtON.. .
Your understanding and support in this matter would l$.~r)'
much appreciated.

I write in regards to the location o~ the proposed Senior Citizens' Centre. Please 'NO
MORE BRICKS AND MORTAR.'
During the last three decades, all forms of government have been spending beyond their
means , thus accumulating a huge debt. I would like to see our spending slow down until this
debt to our country has been depleted. Until this happens, we are creating a financial burden on
future generations as payment for our extravagance, Specifically, regarding our Senior
Citijzens' Centre, I believe the best option is the use of the present location, the Lions Centre on
Beech Ave.. This building has served our cornmunity as a service centre for generations and
could be renovated at a fraction of the costofbuilding lI;~ew facility.
At one time the Lions Centre was fully utilized but hi the past ten years the Municipality
has accumulated four more under utilized facilities tiiunely; the Garnet Rickard Recreation
Complex, Baseline Community Centre, Courtice Community Centre and Trinity Church Hall.
Any of the above could accommodate the senior citizens ofClarington at a fraction of the cost of
a new facility.
One million, seven hundred thousand dollars spent on a new building seems exorbitant to a
senior citizen as myself. Please spend it on roads and sidewalks in the old part oftown that are
in bad need of repair. When it comes to location, the Lions Centre with its treed lot, plenty of
room for additional parking at the rear of the building and set in the prestigious part of
Bowmanville seems preferential to a new b~}<!~_g ~t.~8l'i!;'~t_t4~ C.P. Railway and an eventually
busy thoroughfare, Scugog St. I DISTRIBUTION:

MU~ICIPALllY Of CURINGTON
MAYOR'S OfFICI:
It is indeed with great anticipation that the Multicultural Council of
OshawalDurham announce the planning of an Anti-Hate Crime Conference to be
held in the Fall of 1997, in partnership with the Durham Regional Police Service,
and possibly the United Way, the Durham Board of Education and the Durham
Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board.
It is our hope that this year's participants will consist of all members of the
Municipal Councils throughout the Region of Durharn, as well as other leaders of
public institutions and the private sector.
The theme is that education is essential in eradicating the social illness of hatred and
racism in our communities. Our civic leaders, both beaucratic and elected,
volunteered and paid, armed with the proper kno-wledgecan make a difference.
Leading by example is still an excellent and sound leadership principle.
Therefore, I implore you to pledge your support behind this conference by full
participation and financial backing, if necessary. Partners in this conference will be
acknowledged by their fmancial commitment or inkind assistance.
Yours in peace and harmony

Subject:
Durham Region Conservation Authorities - Fee Schedule
- Environmental Planninl! and Emrlneerinl! mout and Review
The Regional Municipality of Durham, effective July I, 1996, assumed certain additional
powers and responsibilities under the Planning Act as delegated by the Province of Ontario,
As part of this process, there was entered into a "Partn!ll:ship Memorandum between the
Regional Municipality of Durham and the' five Durham Area Conservation Authorities
regarding Provincial Delegation of Planning Review Functions" which provides, in part, for
the Conservation Authorities to assist the Region in its role. as an approval authority by
advising the Region on planning applications in such areas as:
1. Natural Heritage Features
2. Natural Hazards
3. Stormwater Management
4. Fisheries Compensation Plans
5. Permits under the Conservation Authorities Act and the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act
cont'd.... .2
What we- do on the land is mirrored in the water.

The Region of Durham included in the Partnership Memorandum the proviso that:
"The Conservation Authorities will recover the costs, resulting from performing
functions under the Delegation of Review, from development proponents."
With that direction in mind, the Conservation Authorities of Durham Region have jointly
conducted a process of extensive consultation with the development industry and the public
sector which has culminated in a common fee schedule. That common fee schedule, as of my
writing, has been formally adopted by the Boards of Directors of the Central Lake Ontario,
Kawartha Region, Lake Simcoe Region, Metropolitan Toronto and Region and will be dealt
with by the Ganaraska Region on June 19, 1997,
My purpose in writing to you is to req~t the assistance and cooperation of your municipality
in implementing one specific part of that fee schedule.
1. The schedule calls for a "Preliminary Analysis Fee" to be paid to the appropriate
Conservation Authority by the development proponent at the time the development
application is submitted to the municipality (see Table I).
2. Involvement of municipal staff would be limited to advising the development proponent of
the applicable fee, accepting the cheque payable to the Conservation Authority and
forwarding same with the copy of thedevelopm,ent application being circulated to the
Conservation Authority. .
3. Municipalities would not need to amend their financial procedures to provide this assistance
and it saves the development proponent an extra trip to the Conservation Authority office.
4. The assistance of the municipality is requested for the. initial fee only - any subsequent
charges for services or fees associated with Conservation Authority regulatory matters
would be dealt with directly between the Authority and development proponent.
Our consultations over the past months have indicated members of the development industry in
Durham Region are comfortable with the fees proposed and the services they are designed to
fund. We are committed to setting up an ongoing forum involving the industry, the
municipalities and the Conservation Authorities to monitor and adjust the process as required.
Our target is to implement the new system on July I, 1997. I would appreciate being advised
if you can accommodate our request as an administrative matter or whether it will be dealt with
first by committee and/or council.

If it can be dealt with as an administrative matter, Russ Powell, Chief Administrative Officer,
C.L.O,C.A" will be the initial contact person for your staff to work out the details with those
Conservation Authorities participating in your municipality. If the matter is to go before
committee and/or council, I and Mr. Powell will be your initial contacts to insure
representatives of the appropriate Conservation Authorities and the development industry are
present for those deliberations.
Your prompt attention and assistance with the foregoing will be most appreciated.

"WHEREAS the p~ovince of Ontario requested all municipalities
to consider aharin; service delivery in the most cost
effective manner with less duplication in qovetnment,
AND WHEREAS all. the townships 'and villages in the County.of
Peterborough have participated in the process;
AND WHEREAS the financial impact of the download in; 18 unknown
makin9 responsible decisions impossible;
AND WIIB1lEAS at the publiC meetin9S the residents of the County
did not support the recommended mergers I .
AND wHBREAS the time to make a knowledgable decision was not
an option made available to County of Peterborough and under
pressure from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing a
Report waS sent to the Minister;
Monaghan eupported under
COunty of Peterborough
AND WHEREAS the Township of North

HPPs and we would question whether it truly reflects the
wishes of the Ontario residents, Any action that is forced
upon individuals allainst their will includin; the threat of

We now enclose a self-explanatory letter from our acoustic
consultant, John Swallow, dated June 13 1997, addressing concerns
voiced by the representatives of IMSG Properties Ltd. pertaining to
the By-laws in question,
We also enclose a report from the Municipal Solicitor dated June
17th 1997 giving further information to the changes in the By-laws
that will be before Council for approval.
The Chief Administrative Officer's office has had further contact
with IMSG Properties Ltd. and enclose a letter from them dated June
13 1997 again requesting a deferment of the passing of the By-laws
in order to carry out further studies pertaining to the proposed
DBA levels. The correspondence goes on to say that should Council
pass the amended By-laws, IMSG is prepared to work with staff over
the 1997 season in order to comply. They also request that the By-
laws be re-evaluated at the end of the 1997 season. Staff has
already advised Council that it has no problem in meeting with all
parties involved to revisit the issue at that time.
Respectfully submitted,

Both the operators of Mosport and their acoustic consultant, John Coulter, raised the concern that they have no
experience with the noise by-faw amendments and would need a season in order to acquire experience and
knowledge to determine whether or not they could meet the by-law in future circumstances.
I think the by-law quite reasonably anticipates this by establishing the procedure for approval of plans by
submissions to the City engineer, Further, we and John Coulter already have considerable experience with the
Mosport site, with regards to propagation of sound from inside the site to a lot line. Based on existing
measurements andlor reasonably quick tests, they can calculate what sound power and spectrum
(equivalent to sound levels measured at known distance from a noise source) can be tolerated at any
given location within Mosport in order to meet the critelion,
Imagining for a moment the Mosport is considering a new event - either a music concert or a race event. for a
race event they would need only to get sound level measurements taken on similar Vehicles elsewhere and with
the knowledge of the number of vehicles involved In the race they can easily estimate the sound level at the
lot line, In the event of a music concert event knowing the characteristics of the amplifiers and loud speakers
to be used (power and eHlclency, etc,). They can also calculate the expected sound level at the lot line. This
is exactly what was done last year In advance of the I:'OENFESl' ,~vent.
If there is a ploblem based on the calculations then we have the option of either adding noise controls or
changing the event timing to coincide with one of the periods when sound levels are permitted.

I have corrected the typographical errors 'in draft By.laws No. 97,124, 97-125
and 97"126 which will be before Council for consideration at Its meeting on
June 23, 1997. I wlll be present to respond to any questions members of
Council may have concerning them. However, I will not detail them in this
letter.
I recommend the following substantive changes to the By-laws referred to
In the Addendum to Report #CD.26.97:
(a) Amend new subsection 1 (3) of the Noise BY-law added by paragraph
(e) of By.law No. 92.124 to increase the area of primary auditory
Impact from 200 metres to 500 metres from any boundary of Mosport
Park. (The area of prfmary auditory Impact Is Intended to Identify
lands on which a significant number of houses are located 500
metres from any boundary of Mosport Park is a more appropriate
distance than 200 metres);
(b) Amend section 1 of Schedule "C" of the By-laws to change the
acoustic energy level referred to In It from 200 Hz to 2000 Hz. (Mr.
Coulter In his submIssions to Council had Indicated that the reference
to 200 Hz was erroneous. Mr, John Swallows concurs. The
reference should have been to 2000 Hz,); and
(0) Amend the definition of "Acouetlc Caijbratlon" In each of the By-laws
to replace the reference to "Instrumentation of Acoustic Calibrators"
with "Specifications for Equipment Used In the Measurement of
Sound". (The latter words are used In the Schedules to the By-laws,)
These changes are 01 a technIcal nature and are supported by Mr. Swallow.

Dear Bill,
1 have been advised that the Clarington Council will be adopting the noise abatement
bylaw in a version as presented to our company the week of9 June 1997.
I feel I must presenl Mosport's position on this bylaw as follows:
I. Mosport prefers that the establishment of any such bylaw be delayed until
after the 1997 season in order for us to conduct our own tests to determine if
the proposal DBA levels allow Mosport to function as a top facility for
motorsports events.
2, I understand that the bylaw is going to be ralified now and I assure you that
MosportllMSG Properties Ltd. will continue to cooperate with the Clarington
staff and will try to reasonably comply w!th the legislation.
In spite of this early issue, I am confident that you and your staff and the Mosport
management have established the basis for a fair and productive relationship.
Sincerely,
