IICARRIED" DELEGATIONS Mr. D.M. Strike, Strike, Salmers and Furlong, 38 King Street West, P.O. Box 7, Bowmanville, L1 C 3K8, addressed Council with respect to a Development Charges By-law Complaint filed by Earl and Valerie Walsh. Mr. Strike indicated that in 1987 the house which existed on the property was destroyed by fire. The property was bought by the Walsh's in 1989 and their intention was to build on the property immediately. When Mr. Walsh applied for a building permit, he was advised that one would not be able to be issued as the property had no frontage onto an open public road. The Walsh's were able to purchase a strip of land from owners of an adjacent property and, therefore, obtained a building permit on November 27, 1996, At that time the lot development charge was paid, Council Minutes DELEGATIONS Ii .~~ . - 2- . March 24, 1997 I Mr. Strike submitted that the reconstruction of the principal residence on this rural property does not increase the need for services in the area and, therefore, he believes that Development Charges By-law 92- I05 was applied in error. . The Honourable David Crombie, Waterfront Regeneration Trust, 207 Queens Quay West, Suite 580, Box 129, Toronto, M5J lA7, presented a report regarding the alternate location for St. Marys CBM operations, He indicated that in November 1995, the Trust proposed a solution for issues related to the west side of the marsh, containing the following elements: . I . Protect most of the marsh and achieve "no net loss" of fisheries habitat; . Move CBM stone crushing and ready mix to a suitable industrial location; I . Create 120 acres of parkland to protect the community; I . Close Waverley Road and provide another access to Cedarcrest Beach Road; and . Maintain St. Marys access to the desired quantity and quality of limestone, I On July 2, 1996, Council requested that the Trust investigate sites for CBM and report back. After considering all factors, the land with the best prospects for the relocation is owned by Ontario Hydro's Darlington Nuclear Station. It is located on the south service road at Maple Grove Road. He indicated that the Trust is willing to raise the question of the availability of this property but needs a clear request to Ontario Hydro from Council asking whether "in principle" this land could be available at fair market value to help resolve the Westside Creek Marsh issue. I I I Brian Jung, Chairman, Clarke Museum Board, c/o Clarke Museum, P.O. Box 152, Orono, LOB IMO, thanked Council and staff for all of their work during construction of the new storage building and invited all to attend the grand opening scheduled for April 13, 1997 at 2:00 p,m. .

Mr. Hoffman indicated that the Committee has tentatively scheduled an open house at the animal shelter for May IO, 1997 and requested Council's approval of the progrllIlL He also indicated that nearer the end of the nine months of the mandate of the Committee, he feels that an extension of that time frame will be requested.

Barrie, Oerk Municipality of Oarington 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville, Ontario LIC 3A6 Dear Ms. Barrie: Thank you for your correspondence regarding the Conservative government's dumping of social services funding and other costs to the municipalities. In their desperation to find the billions of dollars they need to finance their tax scheme, the Conservatives are trying to force Ontario's municipalities to do the cutting. Under the Conservative downloading plan, many municipalities will either be forced to raise property taxes substantially, or important social and health services will begin to wither. New Democrats at Queen's Park share your very serious concerns about the government's plans to shift costs to property taxpayers across Ontario. In the effort to fight this misguided plan, your correspondence is appreciated.

This is equivalent to the annual cost of the entire Blue Box program for the province - to manage a tiny fraction of the waste stream, Put another way, it works out to $0.66 for every case of 24 beer bottles sold, Compare that to the 51f. a day it now costs for households to recycle a large portion of the waste stream. If the beer system were expanded to all beverages it would obviously cost beverage consumers many times more than the 51f. a day for their Blue Box program. As 9,5% of the people in this province consume soft drinks, the increased cost for consumers would be tantamount to a new tax being imposed, Deposits would be a "lose-lose" situation for both soft drink consumers and taxpayers, Money taken out of consumers pockets means less spending power to support your local retailers or to generate worthwhile new jobs in our economy, .../2 ONTARIO REGION I REGION DE L'ONTARIO, P.O, Box 32, Royal Bank Plaza, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2J8 TEL (416) 369-3059 . FAX (416) 865-0887 April 2, 1997 Stuart Hartley CSDA Vice President - Ontario Region 2014 Unless the Blue Box program was scrapped entirely, a deposit system would require setting up an additional, parallel recycling system, Homeowners would have to transport their beverage containers to depots, likely in non-residential areas, while still paying for the Blue Box. Further, retailers are 100% opposed to return-to-store for empty containers because: . stores were not built for storing used containers and . there is considerable additional cost required to count and handle each container separately, In British Columbia there has been considerable residential opposition (the NIMBY syndrome) to the siting of depot centres, Residents should be given the opportunity to reaffirm whether they want to pay an average of $12 a year for their Blue Box program including recycled beverage containers - or pay that plus a lot more for the Blue Box program and separately recycling beverage containers in a parallel return-to-depot system, ;~".*-,: Curbside has the best potential for high Recovery Rates A major argument put forward for imposing deposits is the high recovery rate for used beverage containers, However, even if every soft drink container were recovered, it would only equate to a 1 % diversion from the waste stream, The Blue Box Program is currently diverting over 30% of packaging waste (plus tonnes of newspapers, magazines, etc,) and is far cheaper for the homeowner than an inconvenient and expensive deposit system, And the Blue Box's pertormance-to-date can still be significantly improved. Our industry has proposed a much better alternative to deposits, We will shortly be launching a communications plan designed to significantly increase the recovery of valuable aluminum containers through recycling programs, Remember that each used aluminum beverage can is worth 3rt. Recovering more aluminum containers in the Blue Box will translate into thousands of dollars in additional revenue for your municipality's program, We are also seeking solutions to recycling in high rise apartment buildings. The key thing to remember is: if every person recycled just one extra can per week, it would not only improve the recovery rate (comparable to deposits) buUt would also provide the much- needed additional revenues for the Blue Box system, >-1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I April 2, 1997 Stuart Hartley CSDA Vice President - Ontario Region 30f4 It is somewhat ironic that if there was a free market for consumers to select their beer container (cans represent 70% of the British Columbia and Alberta beer markets) and they were collected through the Blue Box, there would a flood of valuable aluminum containers into the municipal waste stream, The extra $46 million in beer can revenues would ensure that Blue Box programs operated at a healthy profit. Soft Drink Containers are the Solution - not the problem Please note the following.. The soft drink industry is committed to paying the full cost of recycling used soft drink containers - through voluntary municipal curbside recycling programs - at NO cost to taxpayers. We first made this commitment in 1992, and it remains just the same today, In 1992 our industry took a leadership position and began paying municipalities operating grants though our "Top-Up" grant program for the net cost of collecting and processing soft drink containers. At that time most soft drink cans in Ontario were made of steel, which has a relatively low scrap value, In 1994, we switched to high-value aluminum cans which provides a surplus to municipalities that covers some of the cost of recycling other (non-soft drink) materials, Since then our industry has been using 60 million pounds of aluminum cans every year. Using aluminum cans costs our industry considerably more to use than steel cans, It is worth it, however, because soft drink cans are 90% of the aluminum in the Blue Box and provide nearly 40% of the total scrap revenues in all Blue Box recycling programs. Over $20 million in revenues is generated from about 30 million pounds of aluminum soft drink cans recovered by Ontario municipalities in their Blue Box programs. These funds more than offset the costs of recycling tDe two packages that the soft drink industry sells - cans and plastic PET bottles, In fact, municipalities end up with surplus funds (net of collection and processing) of approximately $100 to $200 for each tonne of soft drink containers recovered through their curbside system. Recycling soft drink containers does not cost your citizens any tax dollars _ Soft drink consumers pay their own way to recycle their containers. Recently, we extended our commitment to remain in aluminum cans, lengthening our promise from three years to six years (three years is the normal contractual period), We have also made arrangements to market PET for any municipality having problems selling their material. April 2, 1997 Stuart Hartley CSDA Vice President - Ontario Region 40f4 By staying in aluminum cans we are supporting your recycling program every day with scrap revenue, If we ever decided (after 1999) to switch back to steel we would reactivate our Top-up Grants program, at an estimated cost to our industry of about $12 to $15 million annually. Staying in aluminum allows us to pay our way in the Blue Box with scrap revenue rather than through a funding program that would require additional administration, Whether through packaging in aluminum or through Top-Up Grants, we are prepared to pay our way in voluntary recycling programs, . "-, . ',. ~ ". . . ....~.- Deposit-Return systems would kill your Blue Box program Many municipalities fear that losing the funds from aluminum would jeopardize the , viability of their entire curbside program. In addition, ceasing to collect traditional Blue Box materials may confuse home recyclers, This would imperil the grassroots participation rate, further undermining the Blue Box's financial Viability. T' "'.", ktt i :.,-\::f : ~.~ " .;' ;-~ ". In recent weeks our industry has made presentations to municipal Councils and ! .~ Environmental Services I Public Works Committees across the province, Our Glarifications on the importance of keeping soft drink containers in curbside systems have been well received.

The report represents a cooperative effort of the utilities and Ontario Hydro in prescribing the best solution to serve electricity customers in Durham, now and in the future. As you will recall, in December of 1995, Clarington Hydro had requested Council to consider a by-law that would expand Clarington Hydro's service area to the boundaries of the Municipality of Clarington. Council decided to defer their decision on the by-law as the Macdonald Committee Report was expected to make recommendations regarding municipal utility restructuring. I II , i II i I I I This Feasibility Study addresses the recommendations of the Macdonald Committee. Specifically, Macdonald has recommended that there be shoulder to shoulder distribution utilities, following county or regional boundaries. The report represents an extensive review and analysis of technical, organizational, financial and governance issues affected by restructuring. Clarington Hydro-Electric Commission, other Durham Hydro-Electric Commissions and Ontario Hydro seek Clarington Council's input on the Study and its recommendations. The Study Steering Committee and Utility Commissioners will be meeting later in April to review input received ITom various stakeholders. I understand that your office has arranged a time slot on your April 14 Council meeting for Chris Bieber of Central Bay Utility (Ontario Hydro) and myself to make a presentation on the study and answer any questions. Could you please have copies of the enclosed feasibility study distributed to Council members and staff in advance of the April 14 meeting. / Dati lark, CMA Gen al Manager, Secretary ce.

Shewfelt Town of Goderich 57 West street Goderich, Ontario Dear Mayor: AGENDA Re: Resolution No. 97-002 Thank you for informing us of the resolution which the Public Utilities Commission of the Town of Goderich recently passed. I will make no comment on the resolution itself, but I do have great concerns from the statement you m~e in your.covering letter which was sent to all municipal utilities in Ontario, and which purports to link our court action with the elimination of local hydro utilities. The action which Ontario Hydro has taken against some of the Commissioners of London Hydro has no relationship with the future status of that utility, If a court determines that the actions of the Commissioners must result in the vacating of those Commission seats, the Council of the City of London will, in accordance with the governing legislation, appoint new Commissioners to fill those vacant seats, The existence of the hydro commission is not in any way affected by. this coun application, Let me take this opportunity to remind you that Ontario Hydro has statutory duties mandated by the Pawer Corporation Act to act as regulator of the municipal electric utilities. Ontario Hydro has made it quite clear that it does not relish such a role, and looks forward to an industry restructuring in which the regulation will be handled in a different way, Until this time, however, Ontario Hydro will protect the ratepayers of municipal utilities and will act in a responsible manner to fulfill its statutory obligations. y ours sincerely. cjdt O.A.

I I The total number of "Messages-of-Support" is down slightly from last year, However, despite the continuation of challenging economic times in most areas of Canada, a significant number of communities and provindal ministries considered our members' contributions worthy of placing a 77th anniversary "Message-of-Support." I I On behalf of Kinsmen & Kinette Oubs of Canada and Our more than 11,500 members across the country, we want to extend a very spedal "thank you" to you for placing a "Message-of-Support" this year and thereby acknowledging the valuable work performed by Kinsmen and Kinettes both locally and throughout Canada, Your faithfuI finandaI and moral support during this difficult economic period are sincerely appreciated. It's encouraging to know that our members' countless hours of community service work and the monetary contributions from our thousands of fund-raising projects, which last year raised more than $23,3 million nationally, were appreciated by so many towns, villages, municipalities and provincial governments. I I I Kinsmen and Kinettes are proud of the fact that all the money raised by our clubs remains in the OOnul1.unity. (None of the money we raise goes to offset the cost of running our national Association.)

' OShawa, ON L1 H3Z7 Dear Mayor Diamond: It is with' considerable regret, but very little surprise, that I am writing to you regarding Oshawa Council's special meeting held on Wednesday, March,19, 1997. I understand that Oshawa Council has approved a resolUtion that recommends the dismantling ,of the Regional Municipality of Durham, , The report also includes a recommendation that Oshawa take over the Town of Whitby and that portion ofthe Municipality of C1arington which includes Courtice; There are also recommendations that Ajax a'nd Pickering amalgamate and the three, Northern Municipalities and, I assume, the remainder of Clarington should amalgamate into one municipality. J thought it was made quite clear by the Mayors of Whitby and Clarington that, while they ar~ prepared to discuss and work towards, mutual delivery of some programs, they are not prepared to ~nter:tain a process that would result in Oshawa taking olier al?f or an of their, municipalities. This point was made very strongly at a Regional Council' meeting a couple of months ago. While I do oot intend to ptirsue this ' situation any lurther in this letter, I can only assume that the, two Mayors in question. will be contacting you directly with their thoughts. It is my intention, however, to comment regarding your continued assault on the staff of the Regional Municipality 01 Durham, These staff people have served the residents of the Region of Durham extremely well over the last \Werlly plus years. You may recall when'the Burnham Commission visited Durham, they were greeteq by delegation after delegation that extolied the virtues of the !wo leve!'s;ystem of government in the Region of Durham The poinllhal was mace very strongly was,- it IS WOrKing well In Durham, leave us alone, Unfortunately, your continued personal attacks against the Region of Durham has' been very upsetting to our staff to the point where they are concerned about their future ' employment. I Should remind you that many of our employees do live in ' the City of OShawa and are concerned that you are using t,heir own tax' dollars to put them out of work, (i)' ...2 100..

March 20,1997 About one year ago, I provided members of Council and Oshawa senior management with a copy of a report which outlines the many benelitsthat Oshawa has received from their partnership with the Region of Dumam. I have not heard one comment from any of the politicians or staff from the City of Oshawa during this time and I can,"therefore, only assume that you agree wIth.the facts, figures and comments made in this report. It is quite dbvious to me that the suggested changes in the payment of matters such as welfare. social housing and other health and social services related services would prove to be a major financial strain on the taxpayers of the City of Oshawa If Oshawa were to separate from the Region. Speaking very broadly, the City of Oshawa receives about 55% of the welfare dollars, 50% of the policing costs and, I can only assume, at least 50% of the social housing costs and yet the City only pays 30% of the Regional tax levy. In view of the millions of. dollars involved here, it is Obvious to anyone who has looked into this matter that the City of Oshawa residents would be faced with a horrendous tax increase if they were forced to pay for these services themselves. The point I am trying to make is that in the past. and in the future, the City of Oshawa has. and will continue to, benefit very strongly from the partnership with the Region of Dumam, It has become painfully obvious to me, however. that you' personally would prefer that the City of Oshawa disassociate itself with the Region of Dumam. I realize you would like to bring along the Town of Whitby and the tax assessment from Counlce in order to help pay for the deficit the City would be facing. If you ano your Council wish to pursue an opportunity to leave the Region of Durham, I can only suggest that you bring forwarel a motion to this effect at the Council meeting on March 26, 1997 in order rhatthe maner may be appropriately debated. If this is the way you WiSh to proceed. please let the rest of Regional Council know and I will do everything I can to personally assist you in this endeavour.

The provincial govenunent plans to make changes to Bill 98, the Development Charges Act,' Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister AI Leach said today at t/Je opening of public hearings on the bill. The government's proposed amendment would no longer require municipalities to contribute 10 per cent of the costs of the roads, water and sewer systems, hydro, Bnd fire and police services needed for new growth. "TIIis proposed amendment comes as a result of extremely productive discussions with both municipalities and developeIS," said Leach. "We look forward to even more input from the public in these Committee hearings," The new Development Charges Act (DCA) was introduced last November, after a year-long govenunent review of the existing development charges system, which allows municipalities to recover the costs of the services they provide for new growth, Under the provisions of the new DCA, development charges would no longer fund facilities used by the entire community, such as museums, city halls and art galleries. The new act would also require municipalities to contribute 30 per cent of the growth-related costs of facilities such as libraries and recreation centres, rather than 100 per cent of these growth-reIared costs being covered by development charges, While the government is proposing to remove the requirement that municipalities contribute 10 per cent of the costs of key infrastructure needed for growth, Leach said, Bny decision regarding the 10 per cent municipal contribution to the costs of transit and waste management services will await input from the legisIative hearings. 'The new Development Charges Act would restore balance to the system," said Leach. "It addresses tne concerns of the development industry and it gives assurance to municipalities that key services and infrastructure will still be funded through development charges. It would make new homes more affordabIe, create growth and jobs, and promote industrial el\pansion." Minista Leach also tabled the draft regulations to the legislation today. The Standing Committee hearings will move to Ottawa tomorrow and to St. Catharines on Wednesday, March 26. Final hearings on the bill will be held in Toronto on April 21 and 23, 1997. - 30- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I For more information, please contact: Nancy Dardecki Municipal Finance Branch (416) 585-6951 Christlne Burkitt Minister's Office (416) 585-6932 For copies of the draft. regulations to Bill 98, please contact: Steve Harlow Municipal Finance Branch (416) 585.6988 Disponible en fran~ais Visit tbe ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing's World Wide Website at btt://www.mmah.gov.on.ca for more background on the Development Charges Act, 1997. -~; ;:t-~ -.

The Govemment will be reviewing the proposal over the next week or two. BACKGROUND: The transition teams were announced on February 21sl. The Provincial Government appointed team members last week and the two teams met together for the first time on March 13th. Yesterday, the teams met together again and put forward a municipal option for reform that was SUbstantially different from what the Government proposed during mega week. The proposal recognizes the unanimous concern expressed by municipalities throughout Ontario that a 50/50 cost sharing arrangement for welfare and long-tenn care could be disastrous for municipalities and for property tax payers. AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION: In essence, the proposed altemative solution asks the Province to continue to fund the full costs of its long-tenn care program as an Integral part of its comprehensive health care strategy. The proposal rejects the 50/50 split on welfare costs and recommends that the Province's program of income support for the aged and people with disabilities be fully funded and managed by the Provincial Government. As an altemative to substantially increased health and social services costs, municipalities would take or' responsibility for a range of non-classroom costs in eduction. The proposai also recommends that the Province reconsider the transfer of social housing to munioipalities until other altematives for the administration and financing of housing programs are explored.

The first step of the strategy Is to persuade the Province that municipalities and property tax payers are at risk if they are required to cost share open-ended welfare programs and escalating health care services. Once those financial risks have been contained or eliminated. discussions will proceed to some of the other major concems confronting municipalities. Pending a favourable outcome of discussions with the Province, the transition teams will begin to set up project groups to take on the design and Implementation of key reform decisions. The project groups will Include municipal staff from across the province In order to ensure that the transition teams are supported by the best advice that the municipal sector has to offer. . This process provides Ontario's municipalities with the opportunity to change the Who Does What package of reforms for the better. Municipalities want long-term solutions that provide municipal governments with stable revenues to meet appropriate and stable service responsibilities. By working together, Ontario's municipalities can find a better way. AMO is also advocating solutions to a wide range of issues that are not a part of Who Does What. Among the many important issues that AMO Is taking on on behalf of its members are: , · the preservation of municipal authOrity under the Development Charges Act, · improvements In assessment legislation including access to revenue from currently unorganized territories; · eliminating legislative impediments that stand in the way of greater efficiencies; · access to other sources of revenue, such as the fuel tax; and . Municipal Acl reform. AMO is working hard to ensure that strong, vital and independent municipalities lead Ontario into the 21st century.

Marie Knight advised Members of the Committee that, this year, an "Application for Dog Licence", containing relevant pet ownership information, was distributed to all households along with the tax bills. The forms are indeed being used and returned by the residents to purchase their dog licence. Marie Knight displayed an article entitled "In From the Cold" which appeared in the February 5, 1997 edition of the Canadian Statesman pertaining to a cat which the Staff of Animal Control Services rescued from the cold and which is being cared for by the Bowmanville Veterinary Clinic, at no cost to the Municipality. Todd Hoffman suggested that all newspaper articles pertaining to the Animal Shelter be kept on file. A discussion took place on ways to encourage new pet owners to vaccinate their pets. Resolution #AAC-6-97 Moved by Wolf Klose; seconded by Councillor Novak ~~ THAT Staff be encouraged to do a follow up telephone call to a pet owner 4 weeks from the date of adoption from the Clarington Animal Shelter to remind him/her of vaccination date, and also provide a better service; and THAT Ted Kilpatrick be requested to prepare a report relating to vaccination requirements.

I I I I I PREFACE As the title indicates, this report is IF...? Toward An Affordable Public Northumberland & Clarington" published in a continuation of "WHAT Education System In January 1996. In researching a report of this nature, especially when it involves statistical analysis, the writer invariably faces the temptation to keep going back for more information. Each bit of information acquired raises new questions, the answers to which raise yet other questions. And so it goes. But one cannot delay publication forever awaiting that last little nugget of fascinating data, especially if the extraction of the nugget could be an arduous, time-consuming and perhaps even expens i ve task. At some point one must go with what one has'. Happily, when what one has consists of hard, cold statistical facts that can stand alone and speak for themselves then one is not running much risk of premature disclosure. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Moreover, unless one is writing history, a report ought to be made pub I ic in time for it to have an impact, not when it is too late to do any good, That was theposi'tion in which I found myself last year when I published the initial What If. That report contained virtually all of the information regarding school board finances in my possession at that time. I was fully aware that there was mOre information where that had come from (the school board office) but there were mounting indications, in January 96, of momentous things about to happen in education both locally and provincially. so, if the report were to be useful, I felt it had to be published forthwith. Copies were sent - over 200 in all - to the school board office, all trustees, every school, the teacher's unions, every municipality, Queen's Park (all parties), the media, various citizen groups, and a long list of Northumberland residents. Based on feedback, I would estimate that the original 200 eventually grew to perhaps as many as 2000 copies as recipients made copies themselves for friends. The reception, at least on the part of the general public, was largely one of pure astonishment, and in many cases, even anger. One recipient was moved to organize a petition which, with 450 signatures, went to the Minister of Education. The reaction of the board and its defenders was in character. I was accused of not having provided sufficient context, but they, the sole repository of additional context, apparently did not feel obliged to offer any. One trustee even went so far as to suggest that, due to my American upbringing, I did not understand the Canadian education system. I 2. I . . '.

(4) in 1992 grand total salaries came to over 99 million dollars - 67.5% Of total expenditures. (5) in 1992 total salaries for teachers amounted to almost 75 million dollars - 76% of total salaries. expenditures at the board grew at an - year in, year out - for 20 years. 1989 & 1992 total salaries grew by The foremost question screaming for an answer was what had been the driving force behind that 9.7% average annual increase in expenditures? Judging by the five facts enumerated above, it seemed that there could be only one answer salaries, and primarily teachers' salaries. Let it be noted that it is not atypical for an organization like the school system to spend most of its bUdget on salaries. It is, after all, a people organization. Teachers are both both the principal asset and the principal expense. Expenditure on salaries is not, per se, at question here. What is at question is the sheer magnitude and rate of growth. But how to account for that 9.7% growth rate? I could not recall reading in the press about big annual pay increases, but obviously something was happening. I was vaguely aware that teachers were on something called a salary grid but literally knew nothing about it. Suspecting that this might be where the answer lay, I decided to look into it,. What I learned was an eye- opener for me and may also be for you. The grids and related information contained in this report were supplied to me by a senior board administrator. Besides asking some specific questions I had also requested "any other information required for a thorough understanding of the grid process". I did not receive in response a book or memorandum of grid regulations, so I have no way of knowing how much information, if any, was held back. However, the grids I requested were supplied and my specific questions were addressed one way or another, so I have no complaints as far as that goes. I feel I must point out, however, that some of the extrapolations contained in this report are based on logical inferences from related information and not on specific information. I would be mightily surprised if any of those inferences turned out to be unwarranted. In short, I do not pretend that I now know everything there is to know about grids. Just enough for this report. Jo. INTO THE GRID! The grids for the 1996/97 school year are shown in Fig.l. When a teacher is hired, he/she moves immediately onto the grid, the exact position determined by the teacher's experience and qualifications. As may be seen in Fig.l, the minimum starting salary for elementary teachers is currently $28,840 and for secondary teachers,$31,060. The current grid for elementary teachers differs from the secondary grid in that it contains a column headed "Cat A" (for Category A). This is a grid level established in compliance with legislated Pay Equity. Other than that, the other categories in elementary are identical to those in secondary. Assuming no changes in the grid itself, an elementary teacher who completes a year at the $28,840. salary level will automatically move up the following school year to a new salary of $30,230. And a secondary teacher who completes a year at the $31,060 salary level will automatically move up year to a new salary of $32,750. understand how the grid works if one imagines the series of ladders which the teachers climb one as the years roll by, "0 years of experience" year of experience" being rung 2, and so on. It is easier to categories as a rung at a time being rung 1, "1 The rungs of the ladders represent experience - years of service. The categories represent levels of qualification - Cat 4 being the ladder of highest qualifications. Teachers who acquire increased qualifications are able to move from one category, that is, one ladder, to the next dependent on the extent of those qualifications which are established through the Qualification Evaluation Council in Toronto. No formal assistance is ~rovided to teachers who wish to improve their qualifications, but it is very much in their best interests financially to do so. On average, the salaries in ladder Cat.2 are $2,149(5.3%) higher than those in ladder Cat.l; the salaries in ladder Cat.3 are $3,050(7.2%) higher than those in ladder Cat.2; and, the salaries in ladder Cat.4 are $2,548(5.5%) higher than those in at.3. LOCATION ON THE GRID As far as location on the grid is concerned, there are basically only three different types of teachers. For simplicity, let us call them Tom, Dick and Harry. (No gender bias intended!) TOM is situated somewhere in words, he is not on a top rung somewhere down below. the thick of the grid.

Depending on which rung and which ladder he occupies, he can look forward to eleven or twelve consecutive years of such automatic advances before he reaches the top rung. Further, if Tom is willing to make an investment in his own education, he can also qualify himself to jump to a ladder of higher salaries. The monetary reward of doing so is especially sweet in the first year of the jump. Here's why: let's say that Tom has just completed a school year on rung 6 of ladder Cat.l (salary $39,380) and has just qualified himself to jump to ladder Cat.2 at the start of the next school year. He has, however, also completed another year of service which entitles him to be on rung 7 of ladder Cat.2 which pays a salary of $43,240. He thus achieves a salary increase of $3,860 or 9.8%. If Tom is determined to get to the top rung of the top ladder as quickly as possible, he could conceivably move from the bottom rung of ladder Cat.l ($31,060) to the top of ladder Cat.4 ($63,060) in 13 years - an average growth in salary of slightly more than 6% every year - automatic. (This calculation assumes there is no requirement for service of more than 3 or 4 years on any grid and and that the required education could be acquired in 3 or 4 year periods, which, as far as I know, is the case.) ..~ It is important to understand that the increases described above are automatic. They are in the contract and no negotiations are required. No discussion necessary. Much like passing GO and collecting $100 on th Monopoly board. How many Toms are there? I do not have that information. DICK is on the top rung of ladder Cat.l ($50,040), or maybe ladder Cat.2 ($53,130) or ladder Cat.3 ($$59,120). Movement for Dick is restricted: there are no rungs above his on the ladder he now occupies so his only avenue of advancement salary-wise (assuming no change in the grid itself) is to jump to the next higher ladder. The increases are no doubt worth the effort: $3,090 moving from ladder Cat.l to ladder Cat.2i $5,990 from ladder Cat.2 to ladder Cat.3; and, $3,940 from ladder Cat.3 to ladder Cat.4. Again: automatically. HARRY is at the very top of the ladder of highest qualification- Cat.4. He cannot move up because he is already on the top rung. He cannot move sideways because he is already on the ladder of highest qualification. Harry is stuck with a salary of $63,060, Harry may be near retirement. If he has enough years of service he will retire with a pension of about $40,000 a year. (One of the recent "reality check" .TV commercials for the Bank of Nova Scotia asserted a person would need an investment portfolio worth $712,000 to retire with an investment income of $40,000.)

And unless things change, upon retirement, Harry will probably qualify for the maximum gratuity bonus: $31,530 at that salary. There are only two ways Harry can get an increase in salary. One is to become a vice-principal, principal or senior administrator, but, of course, those opportunities are limited. The other is when the union wins a negotiated salary increase. But, as we all know, when a salary increase is negotiated it goes across-the- board to every teacher, not just Harry but Tom and Dick as well. And what does that do to the grid? And what does it do to the salary bUdget? We will return to those questions shortly. How many Harrys are there? I suspect there are quite a few. Now, let's consider some of the ramifications arising from the situation we have just described. 1. Every year, by virtue simply of having acquired another year of experience, a significant number of teachers (like Tom) receive - automatically - a salary increase averaging 4.6%. This produces an increase in the teachers' salary budget which in turn pushes up the total salary budget which in turn pushes up the total budget. Remember: the teachers' salary budget (1992) represents 76\ of total salaries. Query: why is it we never hear anything about this from the board? I do not recall ever hearing or reading of anyone at the board saying:"Due to upward movement on the grid, the teachers' salary budget will increase this year by $X. That's Y\." Remember, we are talking about a salary budget of approximately $75,000,000. A mere 1.3% would add a million dollars. 2. On the contrary, what we normally get from the board- trustees and administrators - is the claim that teachers have not had a raise for some number of years, when, for a-significant number of teachers, that is patently untrue. But because we the public have been largely unaware of the operation of the grid the trustees and administrators are able every few years to slip by us a negotiated across-the-board salary increase. The impact on the salary budget of such increase~can be explosive. THE EXPLOSION. The last such increase,a one year contract granting teachers a 5.1\ raise, took place in January 1992 and was retroactive to the beginning of that school year, September 1991. The grid which immediately preceded the increase covered the period Febl/91 to August 31/91 and is shown in Fig.2_ The new grid resulting from the 5.1\ increase is the one in Fig.l. (The Social Contract effectively prohibited salary increases for three years, so, in the case of our board, the grid for the 91/92 school year is still in effect because there have not been any FIGURE 2 7.

A comparison of these two grids reveals that the entire grid in Fig.l is 5.1% higher than the earlier grid, Fig.2. This point is crucial to an understanding of how the grid works: the 5.1% pay hike produced a 5.1% increase in value of every rung on every ladder. At the top, Harry got a boost from $60,000 to $63,000. BUT - here comes the detonation - WHAT ABOUT TOM? Assume that before the increase Tom happened to be on rung 9 of ladder Cat.4 - salary $50,780. Normally, at the start of the new year, Tom would have moved up automatically to rung 10 with a salary of $53,100 - a 4.6% increase. But now, as a result of the 5.1% pay increase, rung 10 pays a salary of $55,810. So, Tom's increase turns out to be $5,030 - 9.9% higher. Or, maybe Tom was on the bottom rung of ladder Cat.4. Instead of $2,080 (6.1%), his increase turns out to be 3,920 (11.5%). Here is another way of looking at it. Shown below is ladder Cat.1 just before the 5.1% increase and just after the increase. Assume if you will that there is just one teacher on each rung of the ladder before the increase -12 rungs,12 teachers. I have shown the rungs in ascending order, which to me makes more sense. Ladder Cat.1 Rung 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Total salaries $460,070 12 teachers Before 47,610 45,570 44,000 42,210 40,620 39,000 37,470 35,890 34,290 32,700 31,160 29,550 After 50,040 (now two on this rung) 47,890 46,240 44,360 42,690 40,990 39,380 37,720 36,040 34,370 32,750 31,060 (now no one on this rung) $502,510 a 9.2% increase So, in the example above, the 5.1% increase actually produced a 9.2% growth in the salary budget for those 12 teachers. The reason for the difference is that with the exception of the teacher on rung 12, whose salary goes up 5.1% ($47,610 to $50,040)a11 the others get not only the 5.1% but also the difference in the value of their old rung and new rung. The teacher on rung 1, for example, moves up to rung 2 and so moves up from a salary of $29,550 to a new salary of $32,750 _ a 10.8% increase. This is why I used the word "explosive". 9. I I BUT WAIT!! Tom may have done even better than that. If it so happened that at the time of the increase Tom was also jumping to a higher ladder then his increase was even greater. For example: let's assume that Tom was on rung 12 of ladder Cat.3 with a salary of $53,810. He has just qualified himself to move to rung 13 of ladder Cat.4 with a salary of $60,000. But, due to the 5.1% increase, rung 13 is now paying a salary of $63,060. Tom's new salary, therefore, is $9,250 (17.2%) higher than his old salary. I I In short, the impact on the teachers' salary budget of an across- the-board salary increase is more than the increase itself would lead one to believe. The exact amount of the impact depends on how the approximately 1400 teachers are dispersed over the grid. I I I By now you may be wondering, in the words Gershwin brothers:"How long has this been apparently since the late 1950s early 1960s. popularized by the goin' on?" Well, I I I I How come we have not been aware of what was happening? Well, there are several reasons: (al there are no trustees on the board negotiating team. (b) salary discussions at the board are held en camera. (c) when an accord is reached with the unions the matter is finally brought out in open board meeting and the trustees vote up or down. Discussion, if any, revolves around the amount of the increase not the overall impact on the salary budget. (d) finally, they bury the evidence! Yes, the board is able to bury the evidence, so to speak, by virtue of overlapping time periods. The province, because of its budgeting requirements, forces the board to budget on a calendar year fiscal year basis- i.e. Jan.1 to Dec.31. But the board's contracts with the unions are negotiated on a school year basis -Sept.l to Aug.31. Consequently, in the fiscal year in which it is granted,a salary budget increase affects only the last four months, the rest falling into the next fiscal year. As a result, the taxpayer never feels in one blow the full impact of the increase and therefore never really comprehends what happened. I I I Was the 5.1% increase unique? Apparently not. If you will examine Fig.4 and compare the Febl/90 - Aug.3l/90 grid with the Sept.1/90 - Jan.31/9l grid you will note that the latter is 5.3% higher than the former. I I I I I I The board presumably must like it this way. Otherwise they would have brought the labor contract schedule into line with the fiscal year long ago. It is this sort of thing that fuels the perception that the board has elevated deception to an art form. Further in this respect, compare the grids in Fig.3. The top grid covers the school year 81/82 and the bottom, 91/92 - in other words, a ten year span. (The 91/92 grid is the same as the current grid in Fig.l because, as mentioned earlier, the Social Contract froze salaries.) The top salary in 81/82 was $36,324. I 10.

Ten years later it had become $63,060, an increase of $26,736 or 73.6%. That works out to an average annual increase of 5.9%. Those are average, negotiated, across-the-board salary increases. But, as we have seen, it was only those teachers on the top rungs who got the negotiated amounts. Those down below may have gotten twice as much, percentage-wise. By the way, a comparison of teachers' average 1992 salaries (see Table 1, first What If) with the average salary in the current grid, i.e. the average rung, would seem to indicate that most teachers are positioned above the average rung. CONCLUSION The more one examines this phenomenon the more one is forced to conclude that it is the combination of the salary grid system and negotiated across-the-board salary increases that has been driving expenditures upward at such an extraordinary pace. The school board, and, teachers as well, will no baShing". They will most the salary grid system. unfortunately, probably doubt react to this report likely view the report as most of the as "teacher an attack on Actually, I have the highest regard for teaching as a profession. And I think it should be well-rewarded - up to a point. It should not be a profession one enters for the money or the security but rather from a profound calling to teach. ^ Nor has this report been written as an attack on the grid. I think a careful reading will substantiate that. My purpose, as in the first What If, has been simply to provide the public with factual information which is a prerequisite, I feel, for a real understanding of what has been driving expenditures at the N/C board, now in the neighbourhood of 150,000,000 dollars per year. Need I point out, however, that this work should not be left to private citizens like me? It is the responsibility of our elected representatives, the trustees, to keep us accurately, truthfully and fUlly informed. Why they so rarely do so is another matter. Two other increasing quality of at any time Squandering points:(l) there is no evidence that constantly salaries in the education system produces a better education; (2) there is only so much money in the pot but especially in this age of deficit reduction. it in one area means that much less for other needs. I will not prolong this report solutions. It should be obvious, where the salary budget is controlled solutions must be found. We cannot go with an attempt to offer however, that regardless of - Queen's Park or locally- on like this.

Valleyland cleanup and/or tree planting along Bowmanville Creek . Valleyland cleanup and/or tree planting along Soper Creek · Tree planting along the Wilmot Creek lands recently purchased by the Municipality of Clarington · Cleanup and/or tree planting along the Waterfront Trail · Involvement In event planning for future Waterfront Trail events All of these projects would involve some form of Iiasing with other groups or agencies: i:i-i . The valleyland cleanups and tree planting projects would Involve Iiaslng with the Municipality and conservation authorities. Organizations such as Scouts or Girl Guide groups, environmental groups, outdoor groups, etc. could also become Involved. Friends of the Second Marsh may provide the Committee with some insights into organizing such an event. · Waterfront projects would involve Iiasing with the Municipality and/or the subject landowners. These types of events would raise the Committee's profile In the community, provided that the media was Involved. This could translate Into Increased Committee membership. An Increased profile could also generate higher levels of Interest when the committee commences with the visioning exercise. I I!

I. 2. 3. 4, 5. 6. 7. 8. 1.0 Background In a letter dated November 26, 1986 Norman Rubin, Director of Nuclear Research for Energy Probe requested the City to endorse a challenge to the constitutionality of the Nuclear Liability Act that it was undertaking and if possible join with Energy Probe as a Plaintiff. On May 4, 1987 Council accepted a recommendation to provide a grant of $25,000 to Energy Probe and to join as a Plaintiff in the challenge subject to assurances that Energy Probe was capable of paying an award of costs against the plaintiffs. The challenge was launched by way of application in the lower court, but on appeal Justice Carthy ruled that the challenge could proceed to trial. The trial proceeded with the Attorney General of Canada as Defendant and Ontario Hydro and New Brunswick Power Corporation as Intervenors. A1 the trial 1092 exhibits were entered in evidence. Justice Blenus Wright dismissed the action of the Plaintiffs with costs on March 23, 1994. An appeal was prepared., but Council at its meeting of August 14 -15, 1995 agreed to settle the action by establishing the costs to be paid to the Federal Government and Ontario Hydro. It obtained agreement from Dr. Rosalie BerteU and Energy Probe as co-plaintiffs to withdraw. It agreed with Dr. Rosalie Bertell to do a consolidated research study to support the recommendation that the Federal Government cany through with its intention to significantly increase the amount of the liability cap in the Nuclear Liability Act and significantly increase the limitation period for making claims arising out of a nuclear disaster. The Minister of Natural Resources Canada confirmed in a letter received by the City Clerk on October 18, 1995 that the review process had begun. On July 2, 1996 Council authorized funds for this briefing document to address such issues as: elimination of the cap on liability under the Nuclear Liability Act; definition of a time limitation that allows for all affected persons to make claims; improved safety culture at nuclear installations; nuclear generating safety in design and operations; cancer risk assessment; emergency planning; radiation standard setting; public access to information and full public particpation in decision making regarding the nuclear generating industry. 2. Compensation under the Nuclear Liability Act The Nuclear Liability Act (NLA) was passed by Parliament in 1970 and was proclaimed in force on October II, 1976. The Act had two purposes: to make sure that secure compensation would be available to third parties who suffered injuries or damages as a result of a nuclear incident on a no fault basis and to promote the growth of the nuclear industry by consolidating all third party liability on the operator and by setting a cap on that liability. 2 '. . . . . . . . I I I I I I I I I I I ~ ' i I I II II i 'I I I I ! I I I I I I I I I I I The current act is in three Parts. Part One sets out the duty of operators to ensure the safe operation of their facilities. The liability of the operator is set out as absolute for any personal injury or property damages that result from the release of nuclear material at the plant Suppliers are released from liability, all third party liability being channelled to the operator. Operators are required to maintain insurance with an approved insurer (The National Insurance Association of Canada) to a maximum of$75 million for each nuclear installation. This insurance is actually split into two coverages. Coverage A includes bodily injury and property damage; coverage B adds personal injuries that are not bodily, such as psychological injury and damages related to routine emissions. Coverage A, the basic insurance is solely with the insurers; Coverage B is reinsured by the Government of Canada. All claims must commence within three years of discovery of injury or damage, and a limitation period often years is set on the liabiliry, Part Two of the Act would be proclaimed if damages exceeded $75 million or if the Governor in Council believes special measures for compensation are necessary. Under Part Two a Nuclear Damage Claims Commission (NDCC) would be created to assume responsibility for claim payments. The awarding of damages would transfer from the courts to the Commission and operator liability would be to the Government rather than the claimants. Rules and regulations for the amounts to be awarded would be established by the NDCC after the incident. Such payments would be authorized by the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources. Parliament can under Pan Two authorize payments in excess of the $75.million cap. Part Three binds the Government of Canada and the provinces for any nuclear installations they operate. It also limits the liability for claims to injury or damage received in Canada, but allows for reciprocal agreements with other countries. There is one such agreement between Canada and the United States. This agreement pennits residents to recover damages from operators on the other side of the border. 3. Plaintiffs' ChaIIenge to the Nuclear Liability Act The Plaintiffs argued that many of the basic provisions of the NLA were unconstitutional and violated the Canadian Bill of Rights because the low cap on liability in the Act was a safety disincentive and the limit period and lack of definition of the NDCC deprived potential victims of fair compensation in accordance with principles of fundamental justice. The current cap on liability of 575 million is much less than the potential off site consequences of a major nuclear accident Section 7 of the Bill of Rights guaranteees every Canadian "the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice". The Plaintiffs argued on an inferential basis that the cap on liability, Section 13 of the NLA reduces the security of person in this manner: 1) The Act reduces the incentive of the operator to improve safety; 2) Ontario Hydro and other operators do respond to incentives; 3) There are negative incentives affecting nuclear power plant operation and safety precautions as well as other positive incentives; 3 4) There is plenty of "room" for significant improvements to safety, and there are many significant safety decisions being made which would be affected by additional safety incentives; 5) Many, ifnot most, of the decisions affecting safety in Canada are in the discretion of the Operator, and it is these discretionary decisions which are affected by safety incentives; 6) There is evidence demonstrating that the safety culture at Ontario Hydro, the major operator of nuclear reactors in Canada requires improvement. There is evidence that the safety culture of an organization is a major factor in preventing accidents. There is evidence that there is a requirement for additional incentives for more care to be added to the existing institutional structure (Appeal Factum p. 20). 1iJ!; There are no studies that directly estimate what the actual off site consequences in terms of economic damages or health injUI)' would be for a major nuclear accident in which containment was breached for any of the nuclear generating stations in Canada. The Province of Ontario Nuclear Emergency Plan provides detailed protective responses only for accidents in which there is no breach of containment (OMSG 1997). Canadian emergency planning has only been done for a range of accidents with releases of radionuclides that are substantially Jess than one percent of the releases for which emergency planning has been done in the United States in response to the experience of the Three Mile Island accident (Goble 1993b). Based on studies done in the United States Ontario Hydro estimated for the Ontario Nuclear Safety Review that the potential ecconomic cost of a major nuclear accident with a CANDU reactor in Canada would be $1 billion to $10 billion (ONSR 1987). Expert testimony for the Plaintiffs gave estimates of $300 million to $30 billion for such an accident (Goble 1993a). Estimates of injury to health are very sensitive to the extent emergency measures like evacuation will actually reduce immediate exposure; estimates of economic costs are very sensitive to the extent to which decontamination and post emergency responses maintain or restore public confidence in the value of property and permit economic and social activities to return to normal. Expert testimony indicated that for the public, despite the low probability, high consequence accidents were the greatest concern (Goble 1993a). The cap of$75 million is in no way commensurate with the potential damages. The Plaintiffs argued that the NLA removed safety incentives from nuclear plant operators and suppliers, and that this lack of safety incentives reduced the security of the person in two ways: the activity level is greater than it otherwise would be; the level of care to prevent accidents is less than it would be. The activity level refers to the number of reactors that have gone into service. It also includes decisions about what power level they operate at (there is less risk when a reactor is not at full power), when and how often they come Off-stream for maintenance and retrofitting, i.e., the level of power generation by nuclear rather than other means. The risk to the security of the person is directly proportional to this activity level, not just the risk probability of a single reactor accident and the off site harm prevention and emergency measures in place. The level of care issue concerns the effect of the NLA on the safety with which reactors are opeFated including the safety culture. Decisions are made whether or not to modifY reactors as 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I' I " I' II II II I II f ~ II II i II . II , II II f II II II I i II , II II 11 opponunities come up as a result of experience or more analysis. These modifications can make reactors more reliable and/or lessen the likelihood of or lessen the impact of off site consequences should an accident occur. The Plaintiffs argued that risks exist that could be reduced by actions that the operator was not taking and that some of these actions would be taken if faced with uncapped liability. Those decisions would include measures that affected accident probabilities and whether to invest resources in mitigating offsite consequences of accidents. Activity level is influenced in two ways by the cap: Adequate safety measures or adequate insurance premiums increase the operating costs of reactors. These costs would influence the decision on the relative merits of nuclear energy yersus the costs of other sources of power and energy conservation efforts. Activity level risks are also related to decisions whether to shutdowri reactors for adding safety measures and when to decommission an aging reactor. Offsite health and economic risk do not appear to be a factor in these decisions for Ontario Hydro. Onsite risks have been estimated to be 1000 times greater than offsite consequences (Ontario Hydro I 993a). Capped liability at $75 million removes any serious consideration of the economic consequences of such accidents or need to evaluate even in purely economic tenns the advantages of measures to mitigate off site consequences. . Ontario Hydro has resisted AECB requests for installation of a second rapid safety shutdown at Pickering A and obtained AECB approval for enhancements of the single safety shutdown system instead (Ontario Hydro 1993c). There was also much negotiation with the AECB over the issue of the installation of low level moderator trips to automatically shut down a reactor if the moderator level was low. Analysis of the Chemobyl accident indicated the need for this safety mechanism on CANDU reactors (Energy Probe et aI1994). For the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station Ontario Hydro has estimated its risk for offsite consequences as $10,000 per reactor-year based on a $10 billion off site consequence occurring one in a million reactor-years (Ontario Hydro 1993a). Its risk for damages onsite from minor accidents in total amount to $10 million per reactor-year. These estimates are based on a safety eval uation for the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. Comparable risk estimates, taking into consideration its age and current status were not available for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Stations at the time of this report. Ontario Hydro's internal policy recommends that: The sum frequency of events that can lead to the need for long-tenn evacuation of a large number of nearby residents as a consequence of the operation of Ontario Hydro reactors should be less than 1 x 10-6 per reactor per year (Ontario Hydro 1993a, p 36). This risk is given as a safety goal. A risk level ten times higher than the goal level is considered unacceptable and a safety limit. Actions to reduce risks that are between the level of the safety limit and safety goal are subject to value-impact considerations. Value considerations include 5 averted offsite and occupational radiation doses and health effect comparisons with alternate energy sources as replacement power. Impact considerations include costs related to reactor modification, replacement power and averted onsite and offsite property damage from accidents. Fcr situations in which the safety goal is believed to be attained safety expenditure is not warranted. This policy is described as being in trial use in 1993 (Ontario Hydro 1990; Ontario Hydro 1993a). Since Ontario Hydro believes that its economic risk is related to onsite costs, safety goals are met and the NLA caps offsite risk, safety expenditures designed to reduce the off site risk are not warranted. The ten year statute ofIimitations does not cover much of the harm in terms of cancer that might occur. Most of the cancer incidence and mortality that clearly would relate on. the balance of probabilities to a nuclear incident would occur well past the ten year limit. Ninety percent of the cancer risk is for solid tumours that would almost all occur after the ten year limit. The remaining 10 percent are leukemias, 40-50 percent of which would also occur after the ten year limit (NRC 1990). Except for accidents in which high level exposures caused significant early morbidity and mortality, the NLA would provide little protection for personal injuries resulting from a major nuclear accident. :1<~ The basic mechanisms for recovery under the Act are laid out through a Nuclear Damages Claims Commission. This Commission, its rules of procedure and the regulations governing it would be created only after a nuclear incident. It would become the sole mechanism through which damages could be recovered for any incident in which damages exceeded $75 million dollars. The Plaintiffs argued that since any major nuclear incident would produce damages in excess of this amount and since the rules of procedure for a NDCC are not defined and it is speculative to assert what they might be or that a priori they would be fair and constitutional, potential victims of a nuclear incident are deprived of due process ofIaw and a fair hearing for any personal or property damages they might receive. Section lea) of the Canadian Bill of Rights guarantees "the right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not ot be deprived thereof except by due process of law". Section 2(e) of the Bill of Rights guarantees that "no law in Canada shall be construed or applied so as to . " deprive a person of a fair hearing in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice for the determination of his rights and obligations". The Plaintiffs also argued that Section 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the Constitution, that "every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination, and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age, or mental or physical disability. . . " is violated because the NLA discriminates against individuals who would acquire physical disabilities as an off site consequence of an accident. They do not have the same ability to gain recourse as other accident victims. The NDCC process is undefined in the Act so that the guarantee of a fair hearing is lacking. 6 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I' I' I I I I I .1 I I I JI I II II I 11 I I jl i I 4. Comments on Disposition at Trial The trial judge made a clear distinction between the risks associated with nuclear power generation and the issue whether or not the NLA acts as a perverse incentive that increases those risks. The argument by the Plaintiffs was that with the cap on liability actions are not taken which would have reduced safety risks, The trial judge did not believe he heard evidence of decisions being taken for that reason. The trial judge accepted that safety could be improved but believed that an acceptable standard of care was in place. The appeal of the trial judge's decision was based in part on the argument that the plaintiffs were being required to prove negligence whereas the validity of the inference that incentives affect behaviour Was all that needed to be proved to establish that the NLA violates Section 7 of the Charter. The validity of the argument from inference was one of the grounds on which the Court of Appeal had allowed the matter to go to trial. With respect to Section 15 of the Charter the trial judge did not believe that victims ofa major nuclear accident would be discriminated against. There are non-tort mechanisms for compensation of injuries that have withstood constitutional challenge, e.g., workers compensation, no-fault automobile insurance. The trial judge believed that in the case of a nuclear accident the NDCC process would likely be a !)lore secure way for victims to obtain redress for their injuries than that experienced by other physically disabled individuals through the tort process. It should be noted that those situations in which access to uncapped liability is surrendered are all situations in which the risk is voluntary. Although people do choose where to live, it is hard to characterize the risks of a major nuclear accident as voluntary risks for most of those who live close to nuclear generating stations. With respect to the Bill of Rights the trial judge ruled that Section I (a) does not grant an absolute right to property but only not to be deprived of property without due process; similarly Section 2( e) does not guarantee an absolute right to access to a court oflaw or to compensation, but only to a fair hearing. Since the rules of procedure for the NDCC do not yet exist, the trial judge ruled that the Plaintiffs' action in this regard was premature. The proposed amendments to the NLA address the need for regulations and procedures and speak to the validity of the Plaintiffs' arguments (NRCan 1996). 5. Proposed Amendments to the Nuclear Liability Act In June 1996 the Uranium and Nuclear Energy Branch ofNRC released a document Nuclear Liability Act Review- Preliminary Proposals. The preliminary proposals were prepared by a federal Interdepartmental Review Committee with representatives from the AECB, Environment Canada, Finance, Foreign Affairs, Health, Justice, Treaswy Board and NatuIal Resources Canada Comment from nuclear operators and nuclear insurers is being sought in two phases, reaction to the preliminary proposal document and discussion with stakeholders of the specific recGmmendations that will grow out of the first phase. The constitutional challenge in which the 7 City of Toronto was involved is cited as a major reason for undertaking the review. It is not clear from the docwnent how broadly the second phase of the consultation process will be, i.e., wiII provincial, municipal, the general public and other interested parties be specificalIy sought out in addition to nuclear operators and insurers. Thirty-nine proposals are outlined in the review docwnent. The most relevant to the issues raised by the Plaintiffs are: ~';:'~ . increased limits on liability and levels of compensation; . provide for alternative fonns of financial security including operator pooling; . provide federal support of additional funding; . increase the limitation period for personal injury and death to thirty years; . require that the NDCC be established at a threshold where anticipated number of claims would tax the judicial system, maintaining the power of the Governor in Council's discretion to establish the NDCC whenever it is in the public interest to do so; . revise the Act to pennit Parliament to compensate victims in other countries; . revise the definition of nuclear damage to explicitly include the cost of environmental damage, preventive measures and economic loss; . require operators as a condition of licensing to maintain adequate funds to stabilize and decontaminate their nuclear installations in the case of an accident; . revise the Act so that the rules and regulations for the operation of the NDCC be developed immediately, the regulations' to be developed and approved as soon as possible after the revised Act is in place, but the rules be maintained in draft fonn until an incident occurs; . include in the regulations provisions to authorize the NDCC to set aside funds for future compensation; . review the rules and regulations with stakeholders every five years; . redefine nuclear incident so that it does not include the consequences of damages or injury that may be related to routine emissions of radio nuclides that are within regulatory limits. , . add a preamble to the Act that addresses both the basis and purposes of the Act. This suggestion was specifically put forward because of the difficulties the lack ofa preamble gave the defendants in the constitutional chalIenge; . rewrite the Act in simpler, more strightforward language; . incorporate all provisions with dollar amounts into the regulations so that they can be revised more easily, and review the dollar amounts every five years; . test the claims response mechanism with National Insurance Association of Canada periodicalIy. Several of the proposed amendents are of particular interest to the City. Revisions to the Act should require that operators secure the resources in advance to stabilize and decontaminate their own filcilities in case of an accident. The specifics of who are the stakeholders involved in reviewing the Act and the wording of a preamble to the Act are also very relevant for the City. 8 -. I I . . I I I I I I I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I i I I I I I I I I I I I I The mandatory insurance, cap on liability and limitation on the period for claims proposals are discussed below, The Interdepartmental Working Group to the AECB has recommended that the mandatory insurance required of operators be indexed to the current dollar equivalent of $75 million ($279 million in 1989) and that a further increase be studied (AECB 1991). Providing various sources of funding would increase the total amount of insurance available. Pooling the resources of the three nuclear station operators in Canada will help. Guaranteed government funds is also considered a possibility in the proposals. Operators are able to protect suppliers from tort liability risks through indemnity contracts. The nuclear industry in Germany and Switzerland has not collapsed from removal of statutory liability limits. Although it was difficult to create the $75 million insurance pool for the current NLA the amount of insurance available now has greatly increased Insurers have historically been able to provide the liability insurance requirements set in various countries. Providing insurance makes economic sense to the insurer only if the risk of loss both in probability and amount can be reasonably estimated and if the pool of individuals being insured or the time for which premiums will be collected creates adequate resources to withstand an early catastrophic loss should it occur. Thus there would be some reasonable limit to the amount of mandatory insurance that could be provided in Canada. The $9 billion compensation that is available in the United States depends on retrospective assessments on all 110 operators in the case of an accident, or in other words it is in large part industry pooled self insurance. The operators thus all have a financial interest in preventing accidents in other plants and in fact they do cooperate for this reason intensively in safety activities. Ontario Hydro as the major operator in Canada is the largest electrical utility in the world. It has significant capacity for self-insurance. To operate as a safety incentive there must be liability in excess of insured liability. Insurance premiums are fixed costs that cannot be avoided. Mandatory insurance provides the compensation that would be available whatever the financial status of the operator was follo\\,ing an accident. Avoiding possible economic loss may be a sufficient incentive to operators to cause them to spend money on preventive measures (cost avoidance measures). In the case of uncapped liability an operator could argue that .because the loss is highly unlikely, playing by the odds, it does not make economic sel!Se to invest in the mitigation of offsite consequences of nuclear accidents. However, to argue that the risk of offsite consequences is so low that uncapped liabillity is not needed is fallacious. If the risks of off site consequences are as low as Operators claim imposing that risk by Wlcapping liability in the Act should not have economic consequences for them. If in fact operators would behave differently re off site consequences facing Wlcapped liability then Wlcapped liability is required for the public good and should be imposed. Whatever the real risk is, it should be on the operator not on the potential victims of a major nuclear accident The cap on liability in the Nuclear Liability Act should be removed 9 10 '. . I I . . I . I I I I I I I I I I I The recommendation that the limitation period for property damage remain at ten years is reasonable. Although extending the limitation period for personal injury to thirty years is an improvement, there is a bener way to deal with the issue of consequences that would occur decades after a major nuclear accident. Personal injury including premature death that would occur as the result of a major accident will continue to occur as long as exposed individuals live. The data on cancer incidence and mortality in survivors of the Hiroshima Nagasaki bombings has been consistently studied with very good meaures of excess cancer effects. It will be another twenty years before the total impact on this cohort will be known. Those most affected by a limitation period of thirty years would be young people exposed with more than 30 years of life expectancy. The Hiroshima-Nagasaki cohort evidence indicates that they are also those most' likely to eventually suffer harm. ~~ :' Since there is good evidence for the risk associated with varying levels of exposure, the critical component for any claim of delayed harm would be the establishment of a credible estimate of the amount of exposure that occurred. Part of the process following a major accident should be establishing a registry of individuals who were exposed Such a registry was created on a massive scale after the Chernobyl accident (WHO 1996). The best time to make the estimates of doses that individuals received will be in the period right after the accident. With such a registry of doses the risk for future health effects can be reasonably estimated from what we know from the Hiroshima Nagasaki cohort. Entitlements for compensation could reasonabley be established based on the risk individuals have suffered. Criteria would have to be set for entitlement for specific cancers, especially those that commonly occur because of other factors. Such criteria have been developed for various occupational cancers. In such an arrangement the amount of an individual claim award could be adjudicated if and when health effect actually occurred, although some compensation for the imposed risk may also be appropriate. The total outstanding liability could be estimated as it is for workers compensation pension benefits and provision made that the resources would be available when needed.

Nuclear Generating Station Safety Issues Nuclear accidents can be attributed to mechanical failure, human error and catastrophic events occuning in a nuclear generating station. Accidents can also relate to institutional failure, defined by Mosey and Weaver as "the absence or malfWlction of some corporate activity which is necessary for nuclear safety. Such absence or malfunction results from human error (in the general sense) where the error can be remote in time, place and corporate hierarchy from the point at which the physical threat to safety occurs" (1988). Based on an analysis of major nuclear and non-nuclear accidents, they describe eight factors through which institutional failure can contribute to accidents: organizational complexity, assigrnnent of safety responsibilitities, inadequate reporting structure, inappropriate staffing, failure to appreciate safety concems, unclear or inadequate documentation, inadequate in-plant communication methods or procedures and inappropriate training. They outline measures that institutions can take to reduce the risk of institutional failure. Many incentives operate on the operator to prevent in plant accidents. Small accidents create costs bqth for repair work and for replacement power. Professional pride, concern for one's own and worker safety, ethical concern and regulatory surveillance all act as positive incentives for safety, At the same time nuclear stations are large operations that require detailed operating procedures. Operations can become bureaucratic or rote. Day to day concerns rather than overall goals can become the focus of energies. Many factors outside the technical aspects of running a reactor affect in-plant morale. Production concerns can become significant. Such concerns are evident in reports concerning problems and progress at the Bruce and Pickering Nuclear Generating Stations (Ontario Hydro 1993 a,b). There has been an ongoing tension between Ontario Hydro and the AECB especially with respect to the management of the Pickering nuclear generating station. The record shows that Ontario Hydro has encountered major difficulties in meeting regulatory concems and controlling a variety of minor problems at that NGS. The AECB publishes annual staff assessments on the operation of each NGS. These reports cover many issues including: compliance with regulations and operating licenses, worker and public radiation safety, events reported to the AECB, system performance, operations and maintenance, station management, training, emergency preparedness, safety analysis and quality assurance. In 1990 Ontario Hydro's Nuclear Operations Branch began a process of continuous quality improvement. The application of this process in the Pickering NGS was been known as Quality- Improvement-People. In May 1993 Ontario Hydro released a report Improvemenr in the Quality of Operation and Maintenance at Pickering NGS that documented the achievements to date related to the program. However, there were still many incidents related to human performance noted by the AECB in 1994. The station suffered a small loss of coolant accident in unit 2 on December 10, 1994. In the summer of 1995 the AECB found that there were "a substantial increase in the number of safety significant events related to human performance" (AECB 1995). A Quality of Work program had been developed in response to a letter from the AECB to II the Director of Pickering Nuclear Division requesting rapid improvement to the trend noted in the summer of 1995. The AECB in its conclusions to its 1995 report found that: Although the risk to the workers and public was low we believe that improvements to operational safety of both PNGS-A and PNGS-B are required. . ., (good perfonnance and improvement in a number of areas are noted) . .. Areas where improvements are needed include: . Compliance with the Atomic Energy Control Regulations; . Compliance with operating license conditions; . Reducing the errors related to human perfonnance and procedural compliances; . Quality of operating procedures;. . Nuclear safety, supervision and management issues; . Radiation contamination awareness; . . . . Preventive maintenance and call-up perfonnance; , . . . Completing of outstanding causal factors analyses and follow-up actions; . , . We expect Ontario Hydro to continue to develop the improvement plans identified in the "Quality of Work" initiatives program and to make significant progress in all these areas in 1996 (AECB 1995). ~. In April 1996 all eight reactors at Pickering were shutdown to pennit the repair of a flawed valve in the Emergency Coolant Injection back-up safety system (Ontario Hydro 1996). In August 1996 Ontario Hydro announced that it had restructured the management of its Nuclear Division and appointed a new general manager for the Pickering NGS (press release, August 20, 1996). At the end of 1996 the AECB renewed the operating license of the Pickering NGS for 6 months rather than the usual two years. In January 1997 Ontario Hydro announced that it had hired a team of7 experts from the United States to lead and manage its nuclear excellence program (press release, January 9, 1997). Peer reviews for the NGSs became available in February 1997 as a result of a court order. These reviews also found issues in human perfonnance over the 1992 -1996 period Weak control over the spread of radioactivity was one of the main concerns in the 1996 peer review of the Pickering NGS (Globe and Mail, March I, 1997, P A6). 7. Risk Estimates for Major Nuclear Accidents Over the last two decades the nuclear industry has developed a science for probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). Nuclear reactors have been designed with engineering specifications to try to make the simultaneous occurrence of the full sequence of events required to trigger a major nuclear accident impossible. With about 10,000 reactor-years (number of reactors x number of years operated) of experience it has become possible to discover the frequency with which small things go wrong and thus make estimates of the probabilities that they will occur together. Such PRAs are now common in the nuclear industry. Ontario Hydro prepared a Darlington Probabilistic Safety Evaluation (DPSE 1987) for the licensing of the Darlington Nuclear 12 '1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I . . I . II i. i. ! II f I. il II , II I Station. Although there were some limits to the scope of the DPSE, Ontario Hydro and the AECB felt at the time the evaluation was adequate infonnation to judge the adequacy of the safety design of the station with respect to the risk of a nuclear accident at Darlington. In the evaluation ten categories of fuel damage are considered. For the most severe, the risk for loss of core structural integrity for a Darlington reactor is 3.8 x 10-6. Five categories of accident severity in which there would be health consequences becasue of radionuclide releases are considered. The estimate of the risk for the most severe accident with an ex-plant release is 8.2 x 10-7 ( or just under 111,000,000). The population exposure to radiation for such a scenario was not estimated quantitatively. No estimate of the offsite economic consequences for this scenario is given. For fuel damage accidents slightly less severe than loss of core structural integrity - large loss of coolant accidents in which the emergency coolant injection system also fails - it is estimated that up to 30 percent of the volatile radionuclides could be released from the damaged fuel, but there would not be a major ex-plant release unless there was also a failure of containment. Although no estimate of health consequences is given for the most severe accident, the risk of health consequences from ex-plant releases (population dose/individual dose x probability of a accident) increases as the severity of the accident increases in the other four categories, The limits and uses ofPSAs are discussed in a report produced by the Ontario Hydro Nuclear Safety Analysis Department - Probabilistic Safely Assessment at Ontario Hydro (May,1993). Four kinds of uncertainties are discussed: . uncertainty related to lack of completeness of current conceptual understanding of the systems, processses and their interactions in reactors, that may lead to the omission of relavant factors or the inclusion of irrelevant factors in models; . uncertainty inherent in the modelling process itself; . uncertainty in observed or subjectively estimated data; . uncertainty from the natural variation of random processes. The Repon states: Most PRA practitioners estimate that the 90 % upper confidence limit is within one order of magnitude of the mean value of the estimated risk, given the stated limitations and scope of the PSA. In other words the uncertainty factor is about ten. Application and interpretation of the results ofPSA is usually based on the point estimate mean values. This is because the mean value represents the most likely result or the "best-estimate" and because the combination of mean values of a number of parameters is itself the mean value of the combined distribution. Risk comparisons should be based on best-estimates, the role of uncertainty is mainly to place some limits on the range of possible outcomes which may be of use in specific applications of the data. (Ontario Hydro 1993a, p 33) 13 On the issue of completeness the report notes on that "there is no way to quantify this type of uncertainty (p 31)". Extreme natural phenomena such as earthquakes have not been included in the scope of the PSA. These estimates are for reactor-years. If the Pickering and Bruce reactors have the same risk of accident as Darlington, the best-estimate of the risk for 20 reactors over the next 20 years would be 400 x 8.2 x 10-7 or one chance in 30,000. Disregarding uncertainties that can't be quantified or approximated, we can be 90 percent certain this risk lies between 1/3,000 and 1/300,000. The limitation of these safety analyses is that not all the pathways for accidents to occur are known. Problems are discovered that were never expected. Problems with fuel shifts and tube corrosion were not expected and not part of the design based safety calculations for CANDU reactors. The risks they create have been dealt with only as they were recognized. The fuel shift problem at the Bruce A Nuclear Generating Station actually made it more dangerous to shutdown the reactors in certain accident sequences. At the trial Peter Fraser,who served as staff scientist coordinating the scientific work of the Ontario Nuclear Safety Review, testified under subpoena by the Plaintiffs: '-~ 20 Q. And what's the significance of that pr~blem? 21 A. It would make the reactor very dif - very 22 difficult to shut down in that event, and they could no longer 23 guarantee that the reactor could be shut down before very 24 serious damage to the reactor and to the fuel were caused. 25 Q. And when you said a moment ago that that had 26 not been anticipated, what do you mean by that? 27 A. I mean that the reactors had operated at 28 Bruce - Bruce A - since 1976, and there was always the 29 potential for that problem, but no one had ever thought that it 30 might - no one had thought that this sort of thing might 31 happen before. And had they recognized it earlier, I expect 32 they would have had to make changes earlier. So it's a concern I that's gone on - it's a problem that's gone wmoticed for 17 2 years (TR pp. 609-610). 22 But the third - the third is, certainly a common 23 criticism is the frequency is likely to be underestimated. 24 And the reason - I think the importance here is to recognize 25 that there are uncertainties in doing risk assessment. 26 There is always a problem of what about the sequence we 27 haven't thought about, and what's the probability that there 28 is something very important that you - that may influence 29 the total chance of a serious accident, and you haven't 30 thought about it. That realIy depends on the ingenuity of 14 ". . . I I . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 31 the artists who do the probabilistic risk assessment, and, 32 that's vel)' hard to say, and, for example, with the fuel I shift problem, you have an instance where the plant has been 2 designed and built and operated for a nwnber of years, and 3 then you subsequently discover there was this _ there was 4 this accident that you had - whose consequences you had 5 completely mis-estimated, and that as a result the accident 6 consequences - the chance of a serious accident probably 7 were a lot bigger than you thought before, and there is 8 always the prospects that you have missed something, missed 9 something like that, because after all we - you are relying lOon people, and people don't necessarily think of all the II possibilities (1R pp. 645-646). Dr. Robert Goble, who participated in a project to estimate the potential consequences of a nuclear accident at the Pickering NGS for the Ontario Nuclear Safety Review, testified for the Plaintiffs that the PRAs for light water reactors give serious accident probabilities _ accidents in which there would be major offsite releases of radio nuclides _ as I in 10,000 to I in 1,000,000 but that a more optimistic interpretation of the literature would reduce this risk by a factor of ten (Goble 1993a). This optimistic interpretation ofPRAs gives risk estimates equivalent to the 90 percent confidence limit estimate for the Darlington reactors. There was considerable argument at the trial whether for policy purposes Ontario Hydro's safety estimates based on the DPSE ( I in 1,000,000 reactor years) or world experience that would suggest an upper bound for accident probability (1 per 10,000 reactor-years) is appropriate for nuclear emergency planning. Although there have been a number of accidents at nuclear installations in which workers have died, only the Chernobyl, Windscale and to a lesser extent Three Mile Island accidents involved significant releases of radionuclides into the environment. The Three Mile Island accident had less significant offsite consequences because the containment was not breached. It was disputed whether from a technical point of view one could validly argue that given current CANDU reactor experience that the risk of major accidents for CANDU reactors is bener (or worse) than other designs currently in use. World experience suggests that the risk from nuclear reactors could be ten times higher than the 90 percent confidence estimate for the Darlington NGS (Goble 1993a). The report Probabilistic Safety Assessment at Ontario Hydro (May 1993a) indicated that PSAs were in progress for the Pickering and Bruce B NGSs as well as further work at Darlington. The stams of these assessments was not ascertained for this report. Therefore it is recomended that: This report be forwarded to Ontario Hydro and the Medical Officer of Health be requested to obtain information on the status of any Probabilistic Safety Assessments Ontario Hydro has undertaken since the Darlington Probabilistic Safety Evalauation (1987). IS 16 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 7.1 Seismic Risk Several geologic features have recently been studied in southem Ontario that have raised questions whether the risk of a severe earthquake close to the Pickering and Darlington NGS is as minimal as was previously thought. Surface features called lineaments that run close to the Pickering NGS seem to be related to the historical record of earthquakes in this region. These features may indicate that earthquakes are more to be expected in this area than elsewhere. In 1987 raised features called pop-ups were found on the bottom of Lake Ontario off Toronto Island. These pop-ups may indicate post ice age seismic activity or may be erosional features in glacial sediments. Several faults have been found in the surface bedrock in the Rouge River valley with displacements of several metres but it is not known whether these faults are related to seismic activity in deeper bedrock. Deeper faulting would indicate recent significant earthquakes had occurred. Some evaluation has also been done on micro-earthquakes in the area of the Pickering NGS but it is uncertain what these signifY for the risk of earthquakes of a greater magnitude. There is considerable difference in opinion among technical experts what this information means for the probability of an earthquake severe enough to cause damage to the nuclear stations. Some evaluations have been done to determine how much margin of safety actually exists, i.e., the stations have considerable capacity to withstand seismic forces greater than they were designed for without triggering a nuclear accident. *~ The AECB held a workship in June 1995 in an attempt to reach a consensus of technical opinion, but this consensus was not fully achieved. The workShop recommended that a seismic probabilistic hazard assessement be done as the priority next step. The objective of the study would be to scope the uncertainties with respect to the seismic risk for these nuclear stations and to determine what further research would most likely reduce the uncertainty. The workshop also recommended further investigation of the Rouge River faulting as well as an expanded network of seismic monitoring stations in Southern Ontario and work to clarifY the depth from which micro-earthquakes in this area are originating. Further investigation in the Rouge River valley and on the bottom of Lake Ontario would clarifY the interpretation of the faults and pop- ups but this research has not yet been funded (A Mohajer, personal communication). Work is going on to analyze satellite imagings. The AECB has contracted for the probabilistic hazard assessment. This work is scheduled to be completed by March 1997 (Shilts, 1996). Seismic events represent a very different kind of nuclear accident in terms of the damage they might do. There are major uncertainties in the interpretation of current data and the assessment of the probabilities, but risks may well be in the same range as those for in-plant events, or broadly speaking if a catastrophic accident occurs it may just as likely be the result of a seismic event as an in-plant event. This situation affects the kind of accidents and conditions a nuclear emergency response might have to deal with. I' 1 I I I I I I I 1 I 1 I I I I I I I 8. Health Consequences ora Major Nuclear Accident The amount of radionuclides that potentially could be released in a nuclear reactor are known, The health consequences depend on how much of the inventory in a reactor is released and how much would actually reach individuals in the population. If the containment is not breached in a nuclear accident, some of the radioactivity in the volatile radionuclides released by core damage will decay shortly after the accident while they remain in the plant. Some of the inventory remains inside the plant as onsite contamination. The rest of the volatile radionuclides have to be vented, but ideally this venting would be done after an evacuation if large quantities have to be released or at times when weather conditions are ideal (for Pickering and Darlington NGS during a northwest wind). These radionuclides are in fact vented in small amounts as part of the routine reactor operations. If containment is breached a much larger quantity of radionuclides could reach the public very quickly. The health consequences would depend on weather conditions and how quickly the population was evacuated. There would also be health consequences associated with the contamination that remains on the ground downwind from the reactor. This contamination would increase the background exposure for evacuees who live close to the plant and for the minimally exposed populations that were not evacuated"CANDU reactors unlike the reactor involved in the Chemobyl accident do not have a graphite core. Unless fire was a major component of the accident sequence the radioactive plume would not be carried aloft and the area of contamination would be much smaller than at Chernobyl, but potentially more concentrated. In the longer term contamination of agricultural land and food is a major concern. Contamination of the Great Lakes and other. drinking water supplies also would be a problem. The studies on the atomic bomb survivors' have provided estimates that the risk for solid tumour cancer incidence is I 1.6 per 100 person-sieverts ( number of individuals exposed x effective dose equivalents measured in sieverts). Solid tumour mortality is estimated as 9.0 per 100 person-sieverts. These estimates of cancer risk take into account a major reevaluation of the radiation exposure involved at Hiroshima and Nagasaki to produce the cancer outcomes (Ron et al 1994). The estimate of the cancer risk for a particular exposure dose is now generally agreed to be up to five times greater than previous estimates for this risk. Leukemia risk is estimated at about JO percent of the solid tumour risk. Dr. Goble estimated at the trial that in the case of a severe accident with a major breach of containment there could be an excess of 8,000 to 800,000 cancer deaths based on population exposures of 100,000 to 10,000,000 person-sieverts. Depending on the concentration of this exposure possibly none, but up to 10 percent of these deaths could occur as early mortality. Emergency response measures would dramatically reduce the health impact (Goble 1993a). The results of the pilot projects of the International Programme on the Health Effects of the Chemobyl Accident have been compiled in a scientific report by the World Health Organization (1996). The major findings were: 17 . steadily rising and statistically significant increases in thyroid cancers from the time of the accident; . a high prevalence of bone marrow effects in terms of alterations of blood cell counts; however, no overall statistical increase in leukemia has been demonstrated; . a moderate increase in mental retardation; . a major increase in stress, social disturbance and vague illness/genera] malaise, The studies were limited because exposures had to be estimated on a population basis. Precise individual doses are not known in most cases. The results are consistent with the effects in the Hiroshima and Nagaski populations. They point out that cancer is not the only endpoint of concern. A study by University of North Carolina researchers has just been published in Environmental Health Perspectives. This study found that the leukemia and lung cancer rates are 2 to ]0 times greater downwind of the Three Mile Island accident compared to upwind. The researchers felt that radiation doses may have been higher than originally thought (Globe and Mail, February 24, 1997, A12). 9. Province of Ontario Nuclear Emergency Plan .:~ The Province of Ontario Nuclear Emergency Plan was initially completed in July, 1986. The second draft Province of Ontario Nuclear Emergency Plan (NEP) dated January 1997 has just been released. Nuclear emergency plans set out the command and control structure for managing a nuclear accident. Response is broken down into two phases, Phase I to deal with immediate protection of the public and Phase 2 designed to prevent the ingestion of contaminated food stuffs, manage decontamination activities and restore normal social conditions. The primary methods of protecting the public are alerting the public within the appropriate zones to listen to instructioIis that would be carried by radio and TV, advising people to take shelter, take thyroid blocking medication, andlor to evacuate. For this purpose the area around a nuclear station is divided into zones: a contiguous zone next to the station, a primary zone extending out further and a secondary zone. For the Pickering NGS the contiguous zone extends 3 kilometres, the primary zone 10 kilometres and the secondary zone 50 kilometres. The population of the Pickering primary zone is estimated at 140, I 08 ( OMGS 1990). The zones are divided into response sectors so that emergency measures can be applied according to the weather, traffic and other conditions at the time of an accident. 18 .. I . I . I . I . I I . I . I . I I . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The planning basis in the current NEP is: Taking the above into consideration, as well as the various types of nuclear accidents that could potentially occur in Ontario, a basic offsite effect has been selected to serve as the main basis for emergency preparedness and response. The principal characteristics of this basic off site effect would be: (a) A warning period would usually exist before the off site effects occur. (b) The main hazard to people would be from external exposure to radiation. (c) Doses would be low, and are unlikely to exceed 250 mSv (25 rem) at I Ian from the reactor within 24 hours of the commencement of the emission. (d) Environmental contamination would be limited to low levels. (e) Low level radioactive emissions to the environment could continue for some time (i.e., days or weeks). (f) . ' The impact would be mainly confined to a limited area around the nuclear installation (OMSG 1997, p 16). Such conditions would not exist if a major breach of containment occurred during a nuclear accident. The NEP outlines Protective Action Levels (pALs). These are the guidelines for taking specific protective measures. A 10wellevel and upper level are given. Below the lower level the protective measure would not normally be justified. At the upper level the protective measure would be implemented unless there were clear reasons indicating that to do so would involve greater risks for the public. Between the two levels implementing a protective measure would depend on the circwnstances. Action would be based on the projected maximum dose to be received by a member of the public within a specific response sector. The PALs were originally developed by Working Group 3 in 1984. Other than an adjustment to the thyroid conversion factor, they are unchanged in the current NEP. The PALs give a lower level of I mSv and upper level of 10 mSv for sheltering. For evacuation the lower level is 10 mSv and the upper level is 100 mSv. For thyroid blocking the PALs are 100 mSv and I Sv (90 percent of thyroid cancers are non-fatal). In terms of the estimated added risk of dying of cancer these action levels represent for the upper level when the measure would definitely be taken: for sheltering 5 -10 excess cancer deaths per 10,000 exposed individuals; and for evacuation 5 - 10 excess cancer deaths per 1,000 exposed individuals. (ICRP 1991; MEQB 1996). There is disagreement in estimates of cancer risks because of different assumptions of the effect of exposure at low doses and low dose rates. Most authorities reduce the actual observed risk from Hiroshima and Nagasaki (where much of the exposure came initially at a high rate) by some factor on theoretical grounds that at low dose and low dose rate some cellular repair will occur. These estimates are 30 to 60 percent of the actual rate of excess cancers observed with the atomic bombings. Russian studies following the Chemobyl accident found that cellular repair was triggered by a dose between 0.5 and 5.0 mSv 19 (Burlakova, ed. 1996). The original Protective Action Levels, were developed before the risk estimates were revised. In light of the Chernobyl accident the adequacy of the planning basis for detailed nuclear emergency planning was reviewed by Provincial Working Group 8 that reported July 1988. Key recommendations of the Working Group were: I) that detailed planning for a first tier - the Maximum Planning Accident _ continue to based on accident scenarios that could occur once per 100,000 station-years. The actual extent of measures to be taken depend on the technical calculations of radiation to be released by such an accident and the health risk associated with that'exposure. 2) that a second tier of planning be added for Worst Credible Radiation Emissions or WRCE to take measures that would prevent early morbidity and early mortality in members of the public, This planning is recommended because of public concern specifically with nuclear accidents, but is limited in extent because of the improbabilities of occurrence ofWCRE, preventability of some effects, and better alternate use of economic resources. Threshold exposure values for early morbidity and mortality are set out. 3) The working group recommends that the primary zones for the Pickering, Bruce and Darlington Nuclear Stations should extend to 13 Ian rather than 10 kIn from the station boundary. ~ 4) The protective action levels should be reviewed in light of world norms. Expert opinion indicated that they were too low, The representative from Ontario Hydro wrote a dissenting minute to the Working Group 8 Repon, arguing that the 10 kIn radius for the primary zone was adequate and that additional funding for nuclear emergency planning was not necessary (OMSG 1988). The recommendations of Working Group 8 would require significant revision to the existing plan and additional resources, especially to extend the primary zone for nuclear stations to 13 kIn. This recommendation has not been adopted in the current NEP. Although it is not explicitly stated in the current NEP, considering the magnitude of the task already outlined in the NEP for an accident at the Pickering NGS and the time it has taken to develop and revise the Plan, it may have been believed that a response that would protect the public from radiation exposure to a greater degree could not be planned in advance. The Working Group 8 recommendations may not be adequate for two reasons: I) The maximum planning basis of an accident risk of 1/100,000 station-years is met by the Pickering NGS only if the Pickering reactors are at least as safe as the Darlington reactors and the risk of a major accident triggered by an earthquake is 1/100,000 years or less. 20 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I' I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 2) The recommendations for Protective Action Levels were developed before the estimate of cancer risk was increased up to fivefold. Major deficiencies in the ability of the NEP to handle injured individuals contaminated by radioactivity were noted at the trial. These deficiencies include transport of inj ured individuals, the limited number of hospitals willing to receive contaminated casualties and staff training. This problem would be particularly acute ifmore than a very few individuals required decontamination off site (Lane, 1992). The Radiation Exposure Plan under the NEP currently exists as a March 1994 draft. The Ontario Ministry of Health is responsible for this component of the NEP. Working Group 8 recommended that Worst Credible Radiation Emission scenarios should be considered. They argued that it was not publically acceptable that there should be cases of early morbidity and mortality related to a nuclear accident. Because the NEP does not seriously consider accidents in which breach of containment occurs, the possibility that there may be relatively inexpensive measures that would significantly mitigate catastrophic consequences does not appear to have been seriously considered The worst case accident scenario outlined by Working Group 8 is: east winds (for maximum population exposed) at moderate velocity without atmospheric turbulence (to limit dispersion), i.e., a radioactive cloud about 20 metres off ground wafting through Pickering into Metro Toronto. As a suggestion of possibilities to be considered, would it be practical and effective to build a berm say 10 - 15 metres high and plant conifers on top of it at the nuclear station bOlUlllaries? Such a natural barrier would be relatively inexpensive, not require much ongoing maintenance, and likely would filter out significant amounts of radionuclides especially under worst case scenario conditions. Given the difficulty coping with a major accident through the emergency response measures, prevention if possible is surely indicated Ontario Hydro did build a berm between the railroad tracks and the Darlington plant to guard against a train accident explosion adjacent to the plant. The basis for planning should not be just the risk of an accident, nor even the risk and the severity of consequences, but the risk, the severity of consequences and the preventability of off site damages. Interventions should be considered for all except the most extreme least controllable possibilities (such as meteorite strike, terrorist attack with a nuclear weapon). Therefore. it is recommended that: This reporr be forwarded to Emergency Measures Ontario to inform them that: . the City does not believe the Second Draft Province of Ontario Nuclear Emergency Plan would provide adequate protection for the City of Toronto in case of a nuclear accident in which there was a large release of radionuc/ides; . the City believes that planning is urgently needed to design measures that would for reasonable cost significantly mitigate the consequences of such an accident. 21 22 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 10. Public Participation in Nuclear Emergency Planning There has been public debate about the grounds on which radiation exposure limits have been set. These have traditionally been based on comparison with background radiation health effect risks, e.g., the idea that a worker should not have more than twice the risk of being a non- worker. These risks however when actually quantified are one hundred times many of the standards of acceptable risk developed for chemical carcinogens using risk assessment methodologies - usually set at one in a million or 100,000 lifetime cancer risk from exposure. This difference was most recently manifest in the debate over the drinking water standard for tritium. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Energy recommended that the Ontario Drinking Water Objective for tritium be reduced from 40,000 to 7,000 becquerels per litre. However, the review of the proposed standard by the Advisory Committee on Environmental Standards (ACES 1994) recommended that the limit fall to 100 becquerelsllitre immediately and 20 Bqll in five years. This last value could be problemmatic for the municipal water supply plants adjacent to nuclear generating stations. " :.:'" Recently the Minnesota Department of Health provided input into the Environmental Impact Statement for the Prairie Island Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation. An acceptable risk criterion that the installation should not increase the lifetime cancer risk more than 1/100,000 was used, The evaluation indicated an increased risk of 6/1 00,000 for the proposed location. As a result of the Minnesota Department of Health input an alternate location was used for the facility. To achieve the acceptable risk criterion, annual exposure had to be kept below 0.00054 mSv. The current statutory annual dose limit for whole body exposure to radiation from nuclear generating stations as set out in Schedule II of the Atomic Energy Control Regulations is 5 mSv. Since 1987 the estimated maximum exposure for members of the public has not exceeded one percent of this level. The lowest Protective Action Level in the current Ontario NEP is set at I mSv, At this level consideration would be given to advise sheltering for members of the public Health Canada is recommending that public exposure limits should be reduced from 5 mSv to I mSv per year. At present the Durham Regional Health Unit has established a Durham Nuclear Health Committee as a public process. This Committee first met in March 1996 and meets monthly. It grew out of the public input into the environmental assessment of proposed changes to the Ajax Water Treatment Plant Although nuclear energy activist groups have been active for many years there does not appear to be broad-based public involvement as a stakeholder in nuclear emergency planning or risk issues related to nuclear generating stations. Public input has been solicited for both low level and high level nuclear waste siting activities. There is a common government and industry assumption that the public will behave irrationally in the face of risk if given a chance. The reverse has usually proven to be true, that when the public is provided with access to information and a role as a stakeholder in decision processes they behave more reasonably. Nuclear emergency planning is an area in which public wisdom I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I rather than technicallbureaucratic calculation might yield solutions. Public consideration is also important because the major economic loss in the case of an accident could be as a result of public risk perceptions of the value of slightly contaminated properties for which there is minimal health risk. In a first world economy individuals have the economic mobility to choose perceived "safer" options. A populace that has actually wrestled with the risk and the possible options is much more likely to accept responsibility for bearing what should be minor costs. One of the issues for which public input is crucial is the timing of the decommissioning of nuclear generating stations. Nuclear reactors have not proven as economical to operate and maintain as was originally hoped. The risk of accidents related to aging reactors is less well known than the information probabilistic assessments have given for reactors in their younger years. Ontario Hydro has withdrawn its request to build new reactors because they are no longer considered necessary to meet future energy demand. According to the Minister of the Environment and Energy Ontario Hydro currently has 20 to 30 percent excess generating capacity (Globe and Mail, February 27, 1997, AS). There were no problems providing adequate electricity for the province when all 8 reactors at Pickering A and B were shutdown in the Spring of 1996. There is also an excess of electric generating capacity in northeastern North America as a whole and there are many ways to meet the future demand for electric power without relying on extended use of the full nuclear generating capacity in Ontario. Decommissioning a reactor early does require absorbing a capital cost that was spread out over a longer period of time. This added cost must be considered against reasonable estimates of the cost of keeping reactors in operation and the cost of maintaining that operation at levels of risk that are acceptable to the public. This issue is especially acute for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Stations that have the oldest reactors and that are closest to the dense population of Metropolitan T oromo, especially since there are severe practical limits to what an emergency response could manage in the case of a major nuclear accident there. Therefore it is recommended that: This report be forwarded to the Atomic Energy Control Board to recommend that. should the licenses for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Stations renewed this year. Ontario Hydro be required to prepare: aj a decommissioning plan for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Stations bj a full comparison of the economic costs of such decommissioning in the near fUture rather than at the originally expected lifespan of the reactors at the stations. This evaluation should include realistic estimates, based on current knowledge and experience, of what it would cost to maintain the reactors in safe operation. 23 24 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 11.

If approved by the legislature, it will create a single municipality lor the area covered by the Municipality of MetroPQlitan TorQntQ. At the same time, the Minister announced the appointment of a special advisor, Milt FarrQw, to help the gQvemment develop a framework for the proposed Greater Toronto - Services Board (GTSB). His mandate was tQ make recommendations regarding' " . Its authority or POwers How it should be governed What tYpes Qf services it should CQncern itself with How it should be paid for What relationship it should have with municipalities. the public and the Province . . . . It was emphasized by the Minister that the GTSB was not to be another level of government. When originally conceived, the GTSB was tQ be an agency that would co-ordinate services amon.,.ast the mwticipalities in a local government structure, where the regional municipalities as we currently know them, nO longer existed. Recent initiatives by the PrQvince of Ontario (the I I. I i!l II \. I II I II II . jl , I I II 03/25/97 18: 34 C.A.O. .. QAR NO.312 P003/007 Staff Report SRCAO.97,08 Page 2 introduction of the City a/Toronto Act and announcements b;te Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing that regions in the 905 area, as we know them today, wiU continue to exist for the time being) have placed the creation of the GTSB in a somewhat different context. The announcements that the funding of the GO Tran.sit System (both rail and bus) is to become a municipal responsibility and that infrastructure owned by the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCW A) is to be transferred to municipalities could affect the roles and responsibilities of the GTSB. E.:;;.. ~~-i. ,; -,.. The Minster of Municipal Affairs and Housing has indicated that the GTSB should be established in such a fashion that its roles and responsibilities could change as those of the municipalities in the GT A evolve. . Roles and Responsibilities of the GTSB " . . The roles and responsibilities a.\signed10 the GTSB will deteniiine whether or not it is in effect a government If the GTSB is to be responsible for the delivery of services, the planning of services, the prioritization of spending and capital infrastructure, or has the ability to make binding decisions that affect the operating budgets of existing municipal governments, then it will, in effect, be another level of government. On the other hand, if its role is simply restricted to being a body similar to the Ontario Municipal Board, whose responsibility is to make binding decisions on C disputes between various municipal jurisdictions, then it is not. '...' Indications to date suggest that the Province of Ontario envisions the GTSB to have some or all of the responsibilities enumerated above. If the GTSB is set up with authority greater than that of a dispute resolution panel, then it should be structured as a government ~ody. To ensur~ that jurisdiction for service and planning delivery is not further clouded, one of the existing-levels of municipal government should be eliminated. GTSB AS A DISPUTE REsOLUTION BODY ,".: Municipal government is not a level of government that is recognized in the Canadian constitution. Its roles and responsibilities in Ontario are set out by various statutes of the Province of Ontario. By changing those statutes, the Province has the ability to modify municipal Structures and to alter the jurisdiction of municipal governments. In that environment, as it currenily exists, the Province of Ontario does have the jurisdiction to resolve disputes and to mandate integration of services between municipalities. If it does not wish to retain that responsibility, then the GTSa could be given ju.;sdiction in that regard for all municipalities in the GTA. In such a structure, decisioDS of the GTSB would have to be binding and not appealable to a further body (the courts or the Province of Ontario). tJ,)/':::::;:V~( 11::1:,,);:1 L.H.U. ~ LLAR NO.312 P004/007 Staff Report SRCAO.n08 Page 3 '~ With a role restricted to dispute resolution, the GTSB could be composed of equal representatives from each of the Regions of lbe GTA and of the new City of Toronto. Staff resources would be minimal and lbe costs of its operation could be split equally among the five jurisdictions. GTSB AS A MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT In the event that it is determined that the GTSB should assume respousibility for such things as Go Transit, facilities and infrastructure currently owned and operated by the Ontario Clean Water Agency, and strategic and land use planning initiatives, the GTSB should replace existing regional governments. In that environment, responsibility for service delivery should be restructured so that those services where there is direct interaction with the taxpayer would be delivered at the lOcalle,vel. The transition of responsibilities from existing Regions to the GrSB should take place over the mixt.t~ of municipal CounciI~'. Respousibility for service delivery would be detailed as attached in Table 1. Governance The GrSB Council should be indirectly elected. The Mayor of each area municipality in the GTA should be a member of the GTSB Council. An additional represen):ative should sit on the GrSB Council for each 300,000 residents in the municipality. The Chair of the GTSB should be selected from and by its members. ."".: Funding The GTSB should be unable to, levy taxes directly. on property taxpayers. Rathe!, it'should determine the most appropriate method to apportion costs for the services delivered by it, amongst the taxpayers in the GT A and requisition the appropriale share from rhe various area municipalities in rhe same fashion that Regional mUnicipalities levy their share of property taxes ~d~ .., Local municipal juriSdiction As the GrSB is put in place and assumes responsibility for the services enumerated, local municipalities should be provided with a framework in which they can determine wherher amalgamations are desired or necessary to provide for more effective and efficient delivery of services under rheir jurisdiction. CONa..USION: The need for increased co-operation and integration of some services between municipalities in the GTA is apparent. The GrSB structured in the form of either of the models outlined in thi3 Staff Report can ensure that the need is met. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II I . II i II i !

ON M502E5 Dear Mr. Farrow: On behalf of the GT A Economic Development Partnership, I would like to express our appreciation for having had the opportunity to meet with you on two occasions to discuss the new Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) and its role related to economic development in the GTA. The attached report outlines the successful economic development activities now underway in the GTA and suggests how the OTSB could continue to support this work. The GTSB will influence a broad range of regional infrastructure services. These services play an important role in determlnlng the OT A's ability to attract and retain business investment. The GTSB should. in our view, be responsive to the needs of business and ensure the competitiveness of the GT A through the infrastructure and services it will provide. ;~~:~ As you are aware, we are working together with the Greater Toronto Boards & Chambers Alliance to create a public-private non-profit corporation, known as the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance (GTMA), which will undertake international marketing and investment attraction for the GT A. While the GTMA will be the sales and marketing group for the GT A, the GTSB can playa critical role in defining "the product" being sold, through the provision of strategic planning and coordination for the GT A. It is therefore important that the two organizations be linked in a way that ensures an appropriate level of communication and interaction. ' The reco=endations contained. in this submission are preliminary and we would welcome the opportW1ity to provide further input at a future date.

The fonnation of the GT A Mayors and Regional Chairs Committee in 1992 resulted in economic development staff meeting on a region wide basis. Staff agreed that 41ternational marketing of the GTA as a place for new business to locate, was not being done. The Province of Ontario had closed its international business investment offices. Manufacturing plant closures and service sector layoffs were widespread. The reality was that outside of Ontario the GTA was considered one economic 'Toronto' market and the . fust task was to get business to consider the 'Toronto' area compared to other world regions. There was agreement at both the political and staff levels to market the GTA as a whole. Since 1992, this basic premise has been moving from idea to reality . There Is Effective Cooperation Between Local Economic Development Departments In The GTA ;:~ In contrast to the media characterization of municipalities fighting each other to move businesses within the GTA, the reality is that there has been extensive cooperation between economic development staff to secure business from outside Ontario. The group that facilitates cooperative marketing initiatives is called the GTA Economic Development Partnership. It was officially endorsed by the Premier and the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs Committee in 1993. The partnership is supported by funding from municipal and regional economic development budgets and from the Office for the Greater Toronto Area, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The Partnership' s Steering Committee developed a 3 year plan as a basis for its activities and has taken a sector approach to marketing the GTA. The active sectors to date have been automotive products, health, infonnation technology, plastics. environment and tourism. More recently, the Provincial Ministry of Economic Development Trade .and Tourism, Industry Canada and several Canadian Consnl"tps have been jointly participating in international activities with the GTA Partnership. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I' I ,I I I I I I I I II II i il II ~ i I I -2- Since 1993 the GTA Partnership has organized more than a dozen international · events. It has created marketing materials for the GTA, a trade show booth, web page and newsletter. All of this has been accomplished with funding from municipal contributions, arlministrative and financial support from the Office for the Greater Toronto Area, and fund management by the City of Brampton. The current annual budget is approximately $150,000. All of the work is done by staff already carrying a full time commitment of other municipal and provincial responsibilities. The recommendations of the OTA Task Force (Golden Report) in 1996 summed up the situation by highlighting our region's competitive challenges. More efforts were clearly needed to achieve higher levels of economic growth. Among many other recommendations that report called for the continuation of local municipal economic development staff for business retention and the creation of a .. Greater Toronto public-private economic development partnership ....to be....establishcd to act as a single marketing body for the city-region". The OTA Economic Development Partnership has been working to bring this into reality and formalize and expand the international marketing structure already begun. Why Do We Need A Public- Private Economic Development Partnership? Research done for the GTA Task Force (Golden Report) highlighted that many regions in North America and around the world have come to the realization that the public and private sector can work together to create conditions for private sector investment, wealth and job creation, that generate more results than either group working alone. These regions have active programs to keep existing businesses growing in their areas and they use these successful sectors to attract new business. These regions also fund well targeted campaigns to convince ' businesses in the GTA to relocate rather than expand here. A regional economic development budget for international activities alone of $2 to $3 million is not unconunon in other locations. Private sector involvement is key to convincing companies to stay here and to attract new business. Business will often get its most trusted market intelligence from the experience of other business executives. The concept of a public-private partnership fQllows from this. Also, for business people to be involved as partners. joint management boards rather than advisory groups need to be established. With this structure, research also indicates private sector financial support is possible. - 3- In early 1996, the GT A Partnership retained the Canadian Urban Institute to research and document public-private operating experiences in North America for economic development. They reported to the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs in March 1996 and recommended moving in the direction of creating a jointly managed public-private economic development function with a permanent staff and at least a $1 million annual budget. International marketing of the GTA was recommended as a primary focus. A close working relationship with existing regional and local municipal economic development staff was also supported to generate business contacts and provide the necessary support to follow through on international prospects. What is the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance? :;'i'.~~ Following on the recommendations in the Canadian Urban Institute report, a business plan for the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance was prepared jointly by the GT A Economic Development Partnership and by an alliance of business leaders from the Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce within the entire GT A region. This business group'is called the Greater Toronto Boards and Chambers Alli!W-ce. The combined business plan was approved by the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs Committee in September 1996. The Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance (GTMA) will be a non-profit Corporation, with an Initial board of sixteen directors comprised of equal numbers from the public and private sectors. Its primary focus will be new investment attraction to the GTA from outside Ontario. To facilitate its work. the GTMA will maintain regional economic data relevant to business attraction and work on initiatives planned with input from the economic development staff at the local and regional municipal levels, and the Provincial and Federal governments: The GTMA is intended to be funded and in operation by the end of 1997 with an initial budget of at least $1 million. As of March 1997 the municipal public sector has committed $80,000 from each of the five regions in the GT A, for a total of $400,000. The Provincial Office for the Greater Toronto Area has budgeted $100,000 for the GlMA in 1997. Additional funding is being sought from the Provincial and Federal governments. The Greater Toronto Boards and Chambers Alliance has retained a fund raising firm with the objective of securing at least $500,000 this year. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I . . I ,. ,. I I, I II, I '. ,. II -4- The municipal public sector will have 5 direct political appointments on the Board of Directors. (One from each region, chosen by both the local and regional Councils cooperativeiy). There will also be a representative from the Province and two repreSentatives chosen from local economic development staff. Representatives from the private sector are expected to be identified through the fund raising process. The Board of Directors will be chaired by a prominent business leader. By the end of 1997, the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance should have its funding in place, have hired a general manager and be well on its way to detailing the management approaches for its three key areas of focus: 1. New investment attraction - marketing and promotion of the GT A. 2. Information collection and dissemination. 3. Support for and cooperation with existing municipal economic development officers and initiatives. , Recommendations For The Greater Toronto Services Board Concerning Economic Development . As outlined above, there is a history of cooperation among public sector economic development professionals at the GT A level. lbis cooperative effort is on the verge of achieving a significant expansion of its capacity to undertake effective economic development, through the creation or a new public-private partnership called the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance. The GTMA is not intended to replace or duplicate the services offered by existing municipal economic development offices. Rather, the intention is to address the need for a coordinated, cost effective approach to international marketing at the GTA level. The GTA Economic Development Partnership welcomes and supports the establishment of the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB). As highlighted in our covering letter, the opportunity to have an economic development perspective . included in infrastrocture planning can be facilitated by the GTSB and in our view will be essential to the economic growth of the region. - 5 - The reconunendations which follow are formulated to create a stable municipal funding source for undertaking international marketing of the GT A and to establish an economic development linkage between the GTMA and the GTSB. This business to government linkage needs to be formalized to ensure consistency over time, yet must be independent enough so as not to constrain the involvement of the private sector in economic development initiatives. Recommendations: 1. That consideration of economic development impacts be a principle of the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) that is inherent in all its functions. 2. That the Greater Toronto Services Board support international marketing of the GTA being done by a separate public-private non- profit corporation now in the process of being formed, called the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance (GTMA). {,' 3. That there be a cross appointed board member in common between the GTSB and the GTMA to establish a linkage between the two groups. 4. That a mechanism to secure long term funding for the GTMA be created. On the assumption that the GTSB will be collecting municipal funding in some manner for other functions, then the GTSB should be mandated to collect the municipal share of economic development funds for the GTMA.

However, once the composition of the GTSB board and its fundIng mechanisms are more developed, we would welcome the o~rtunity to offer further comments. This submission has been prepared by economic development staff from local and , regional municipal economic development offices across the Greater Toronto Area. The submi'ssion is reflective of the cooperative pr~cess used by the GT A Economic Development Partnership to prepare reports fli' the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs Committee, ;J,ut it has not been endorsed by any political body. · We expect that each of our respective municipal Councils will make submissions to the GTSB concerning a broad range of issues.

It is critical to appreciate that the point has been reachel where the existing regional municipal governance system is now itself the biggest obstacle to the continuation 01 effective reform. Innovative municipalities such as Oshawa need thl Province to enable them to continue their initiative through the creation of a new, different governance structure. I The City of Oshawa is on record as being in favour of the dismantling of the regional tier of municipal government entirely. Oshawa is working cooperatively with adjacent local municipalities in pursuing service delivery efficiencies. Through our ongoing commitment to change and improvement, Oshawa has also exhibited an openness to the exploration of municipal restructuring possibilities. Oshawa has shown leadership in recognizing the need for change. In the case of Oshawa, this relates specifically to the dismantling of the Region of Durham. Consolidation along natural urban boundaries is then vital to achieve efficient, sustainable urban units. ',1. Oshawa has publicly accepted the principle that municipal boundaries cannot be considered sacrosanct. In order to achieve I the agreed need for simpler and reduced I government, regional government must be I eliminated, and eliminated immediately. I This approach to' municipal reform would enable the I majority of functions of the existing regional municipalities to be downloaded to stronger local municipalities with expanded servicing and financial capacities. This will I ultimately allow local municipalities, such as Oshawa, to develop financial self-reliance. Financial control and accountability are the critical elements of achieving self- I reliance. I I I I Indeed, the acceptance of this most important principle is key to removing remaining constraints to innovative municipalities achieving reform. Only this approach to disentanglement can guarantee that any potential for overlap and duplication of functions in municipal government is totally eliminated. At this point in the Province's reform program, Oshawa City Couneil, again, calls for the dismantling of the existing tier of regional municipal government. I I :Ii I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Oshawa -- Sets the Benchmark 4 ,;t;;:C.;,f/CREATING AN EFFECTIVE FORMULA FOR MUNICIPAL RESTRUCTURING The worst possible change option for Durham Region would be the establishment of a single tier municipal unit encompassing all existing Durham municipalities. As well, the existing two tier system of municipal government has been an obstacle to efficiency. It has frustrated innovation and it cannot hope to address future challenges in local governance. This position IS supported by many arguments. The structure and character of the existing Regional Municipality of Durham with eight local municipalities -- is unique in the GTA. Given these inherent differences, the Regional Municipality of Durham has been an unmanageable governance structure. There is more that separates the communities in Durham, including the vast physical distances, than unites them. THE CITY OF DURHAM? As a megacity of Durham, such a "shotgun" arrangement of inherently different communities would only aggravate the dysfunctional politics characteristic of Durham Region over the past 20 + years. There is more that separates the communities in Durham, including the vast physical distances, than unites them. An amalgamation of the eight Durham municipalities would be beyond Toronto Megacity proportions. This unnatural amalgamation into a regional municipality covers a truly vast geographic area, as Exhibit One on page 5 very clearly shows. INCOMPA TIBLE MIx The Regional Municipality of Durham forced together an irreconcilable diversity of interests -- urban/rural, industrial/suburban/ agricultural, commuter/local population, growth/stable populations. Exhibit Two on page 6 shows what the Durham Megacity would look like. Exhibit Three on page 7 provides an indication of the geographic scale of such an amalgamated entity in comparison to the proposed amalgamated City of Toronto. Instead of such large-scale amalgamations, the formula for effective municipal governance reform must emphasize the empowerment of local municipalities to strengthen their natural capacities for efficient and responsive service delivery.

Consolidating boundaries to reflect the existing urban nodal reality of Oshawa, Whitby and the community of Courtice (in the Municipality of Claringtonl. would make a single, strong urban entity with an existing population of about 220,000. The premise of this position is that it could be anticipated that certain economies might be achieved and certain service improvements realized through a sharing of resources and expertise within a single administrative municipal unit. nodes as previously noted, Exhibit One clearly shows this, urban duality across the existing political boundaries and the vastness of the rural component. Oshawa/ Whitby/ Courtice is a single contiguous urban unit with potential for consolidation. Ajax/Pickering is a single contiguous urban unit which also has potential for consolidation. Between the nodes is a permanent "urban separator" or greenbelt which distinguishes the two units both in terms of infrastructure and community identity. OshawaVVVhftby/Courlice is a single natural urban unit. The political boundaries between Oshawa, Whitby and Courtice, as they are now, are largely artificial because the area functions to a large degree as a single urban unit already. It is more than a conceptual argument. Residents and community groups recognize and live and function within this reality. Examples are numerous: the United Way of Oshawa-Whitby-Clarington, the Oshawa-Whitby Kiwanis Music Festival, the Oshawa-Clarington Chamber of Commerce, etc. Therefore, administrative and political consolidation would simply recognize the natural urban system and naturally evolved community dynamic. Additionally, the urban lakeshore of Durham consists of two distinct, permanent urban Exhibit Four on Page 9 shows what the local municipal boundaries might look like if redrawn to reflect the dual urban character. Urban boundary consolidations would recognize the reality of this natural, dual urban system, and at the same time allow separation from the forced urban-rural alignment. This is a far more acceptable and natural alternative to amalgamation of all the local municipalities within Durham. A new administrative unit resulting from the amalgamation of Oshawa, Whitby and Courtice would have an existing population of approximately 220,000 with a potential built-out population (Le. 2021) of approximately 500,000. This is a size of urban unit where certain economies of scale are achieved, but not the size at which many problems emerge as seen in many metropolitan examples. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Oshawa - Sets the Benchmark 10 A consolidated Ajax-Pickering would have an , existing population of approximately 130,000 and a potential built-out population (2021) of 265,000. The rural areas of Durham could be consolidated as a separate unit or alternatively returned to their natural location within the county system. Creation of such larger local urban units would permit the immediate dismantling of the existing regional government in Durham. This restructuring strategy could be initiated immediately and potentially be in place in time for the municipal elections in the year 2000. This straight forward initiative is a low risk, high return opportunity and a very desirable alternative to any megacity approach. This approach to restructuring in Durham would be manageable and reflect a pattern that could perhaps be achieved through other urban consolidations in and around the "905" area. This increased efficiency and the added capacity for municipal service delivery can be , achieved without need for megacity type amalgamations which have proven to be highly unpopular and universally controversial. This is seen in Toronto, Hamilton-Wentworth and would undoubtedly be similar or worse in other "905" areas. Notwithstanding the stated position of the Council and residents of Oshawa, the Province appears committed to the establishment of a Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB). It remains the City's position that Oshawa not be included within any such GTA body. If the Province indeed establishes a GTSB, we urge that certain criteria be considered. Any inter-municipal services board should not be established as a level of government. It should not have direct taxation authority. It should not have directly elected board members. Very importantly, its responsibilities and authorities should relate only to truly inter-municipal services. READY TO MEET THE CHALLENGE There is no doubt this is an era of change in Ontario, especially in relation to government and the financing and delivery of public services. Change is necessary to respond to new fiscal realities; to turn around dysfunctional and bloated systems; and to meet the evolving needs and expectations of discriminating residents and taxpayers. Change is necessary and it is necessary now. Interim solutions are not acceptable. A decision must be made immediately on the dismantling of regional government. Without a clear decisive reform program, divisive political and staff rivalries will occur and the productivity of municipal service delivery will be negatively impacted. Advocates of the status quo and minimal change will be strengthened. Any momentum for positive change which presently exists will be stunted. Oshawa has been leading with an openness to positive change. We can improve more! We want to improve! It is vital that the Province empower local municipalities so this can be achieved. Oshawa - Sets the Benchmark I CONCLUSION..... . The City of Oshawa has a track record which demonstrates its willingness and capacity to respond to the financial and service delivery challenges being faced in the 1990's. There is a Willingness in Oshawa to Continue to change and improve. However there are structural obstacles to achieving a higher level of change. Oshawa proposes a framework for change that has a high Probability of SUCcess and can be implemented immediately. The key elements of the City of Oshawa's proposal for reform are as follows: DISMANTlE THE REGIONAL TIER OF MUNICIPA~ GOVERNMENT; The regional tier of municipal government cannot meet the challenges posed and should be dismantled. The diversity of interests and fractured politics make effective municipal administration within regional municipalities difficult. Specifically, the Regional Municipality of Durham is an obstacle to responsive, financially responsible and accountable municipalities. The region is a barrier to Oshawa achieving optimal service delivery efficiencies. The process to dismantle the Region of Durham should be initiated immediately. EMPOWER LOCAl MUNICIPAliTIES; An effective fonmula for governance reform must include the empOwerment and enablement of local municipalities, through Provincial legislation and policy, to allow them to assume further enhanced authorities and responsibilities. 2.1 :~~~:~:~E~~~~A~I :~~~::.AI/TJES THROUCUj I BOUNDARY CONSO I .

This would be less likely if widespread application of a regional megacity approach is proposed. Most particularly in Durham, which is nearly four times the size of the proposed amalgamated City of Toronto, the megacity approach is not feasible. ~ Interim solutions should be avoided. The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has announced his preference to see the regional municipalities eliminated. This action should be done immediately. Interim proposals involving the existing regions can only encourage further friction and wasteful rivalries. I I . I I I I I I I <. I I I I .. . I I COUNCIL INFORMATION ",-l.

As you and the Members of the Standing Committee are aware, the GT A Mayors and Chairs Task Force has been meeting on an ongoing basis for the past three months with the Development Industry and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. I wish to highlight four (4) key issues for your consideration: 1. We have made progress on 20 issues which although less substantive, assist all parties who will ultimately work with the amended legislation. The municipal sector has yielded on a number of issues which together meet the Province's goal ofreducing service levels (i.e, average service levels, exclusions, removal of parkland acquisition, etc,). 2, We unanimously and fundamentally oppose co-funding, 3. We believe that hard services should not be subject to a percentage reduction. 4, A % reduction on "soft services" should be substantially less than 30%. We would urge the Standing Committee to make the necessary amendments to the proposed tegislation so that the municipalities and the development industry can move forward and work together in responding to a positive economic environment and fortunately, a healthy residential and conunercil!il_._----- industrial development marketplace. \ ~-[~~~m~TION_ I 'r, ,w . i 1-'.-.....1...01_ I ORIGiNAL T 1--- EL McCALLION ' !

On December 6, 1996, the GrAMayors and Regional Chairs held an emergency meeting which was attended by your Parliamentaxy Assistant, Mr. Ernie Hardeman. As you are aware, at that meeting two resolutions were unanimously endorsed which created a. framework of nine guiding principles (Appendix 1) and a process for discussion highlighted by the creation of a forum comprising of the municipal sector, the development industry, the provincial government (Appendix ll). During this period of time. a number of municipalities imposed development freezes, primarily because the fundamental principle that new growth must continue to pay for itself was being compromised with the introduction of eo-funding in the legislation. The municipal sector simply could not agree with the concept that existing taxpayers in our municipalities would now have the additional burden of having to pay for new growth, regardless ofwbat modifications or reductions were made to exisMng levels of service. Given the potential significant impacts of downloading from, other Provincial GovetIimcniinitiatives. the financial. hit on our existing ta."( bases would be dramatic and "'''''"''''Puble. and further add to our inability to co-fund new development. All of our financial resources are needed for our existing infrastructure. On December 9, 1996, you agreed with our proposal to create a forum to discuss the legislation on the preconditions that all existing development freezes would be lifted and that the proposed Bill 98 would be used as the basis for discussion. Theseprcconditions were met. Since that time, the GrAMayors and Regional Chairs Development Charges TaskForce, Co-chaired by Mayor Ann Mulvale from the Town ,of Oakvilleand Mayor Don Cousens from the Town of Marldwn have met numerous times with Urban Development Institute (UD!) representatives and have reported on two occasions to the GTA Mayors and Regional Chaio. As you are aware. we Al L<!ach, ,l1misla Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing ,~(arch 17,1997 Pag"] have also had the assistance and participation of Mr. Jim Murphy from your office as well as Joanne Davies from the 1vlinistry of Municipal Affairs and Housing who has been charged with the responsibility of preparing the legislation language. In addition, we had an opportunity to meet with you at Queen's Park on February 18th, 1997 to provide you with a progress report and to articulate our continued areas of concern. As a result of the numerous meetings we have now held with UDI, we have been able to identify twenty areas of general understanding on what both parties believe are the less contentious issues or matters that need to be addressed in the proposed legislation. These twenty items have been agreed to outright with the exception of the items referred to a joint legislation team comprised ofT oanne Davies and legal and financial representatives from UDI and the municipal sector. This team was set up: to seek a better understanding of the meaning of the draft legislation; to provide amended . language where further clarification is nec'PSSary; or to provide new wording where both UDI and the municipal representatives agree that a different approach to a specific item is preferred to that as set out in the Bill. It was also recognized by both the municipal and UDI representatives that this process may lead to an end result where agreement by both paJries may not be reached on all items. .~ Uniortunately; we must report to you that on the key substantive issues in the proposed legislation, both parties have Dot beeo able to reach an agreement. In essence, we have "agreed to disagree". The chart on Page 7 of Appendix ill provides you with a snapshot overview of the salient issues which remain unresolved at this time. This chart was discussed in significant detail with the GTA Mayors and Chairs on February 21, 1997 and the column on the right hand side reflects clearly their very strong, unanimoUll support for the stated municipal sector position. Specifically, we would like to highlight the key issues and supporting rationale for your consideration: 1. Co-fundin~ In our view, the end product of co-funding will not be to control the service levels in the Greater Toronto Area. Under the present legis1ation, no matter how much levels of service are reduced, municipalities and by inference existing taxpayers, will still have to pay 10"10 of-any new hard services and 30% of so called "soft. services". The proposed 10% and 30% co-funding amounts in the draft legislation would be passed on to existini taxpayers. . At the same time, it is our contention that these savings would not be passed on to new home buyer3, since the fundamental principles of supply and demand for housing in Ontario will continue to have paramountcy in this regard. In other words, the marketplace will continue to dictate the price of houses in the Greater Toronto Area. As a result, what co-funding is actually achieving is the transfer of the 10% and 30% cost of new growth to existing taxpayers, thus resulting in the equivalent amount of money being realized as a net profit by the deVelopment industry. This end result continues to be completely unacceptable to the municipal sector. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~I I I I I I I . I AI Leach, ,\1inuta Il1mutry of Municipal Affair> and Housing March 17, 1997 pag!!] Therefore, we continue to insist that co-funding must be removed from the draft legislation. In addition, based on our discussions with VOL we believe they have come to realize that co-funding is not as beneficial to them as it may have seemed at first blush. At the present time, market forces dictate the rate of growth. Under the :lew proposed regime, co-funding would ensure that the marketplace would no longer be the primary consideration for growth. Rather, municipalities' ability to contribute their 10% and 30% would now artilici2lly drive this exercise. For this reason alone, we do not think that co-funding will be at all beneficial to our Provincial economy, since it would no longer respect the naturaliaws of the marketplace. 2. Zero Percent Reduction for Hard Services UDI has already concurred with us that stonn and sanitary sewer, water and road components of the development charge should be moved back to 100% funding by the development indUStry. It is our contention that Police and Fire Services are at least as important as the other hard services listed above bC(;'~l1"" they provide critical life and safety services to our new residents. We do not believe it is appropriate to now provide a lower level of service for these critical service components to the new residents moving into our municipalities. For this reason, we continue to advocate that these key hard services should also be 100% funded by the development indUStry. ~ already stated in the proposed legislation, we agree with the Provincial Government that transit should remain a hard service. This is consistent with the Provincial Government's objective to seek economies of scale with intensified urban development. It also recognizes that the added financial burden recently proposed by the Province of Ontario to totally add transit and GO services to local municipality scope of responsibilities will create significant financial challenges. Although operational costs under this new regime will be difficult to quantify and absorb, our greatest concern is the significant loss in capital. funding from the Provincial Govemmeztt, as a result of the elimination of the 75% conditional grant envirorunent and now the proposed c<<?mplete elimination of all capital. funding from the Province for these service5. The elimination of these capital dollars and reducing by 30% the new growth costs of providing these services contradicts the Province's stated objectives and seriously compromises the future provision of transit services in this Province. ~ a result, we support the '..g;.I~rion' s intent to identify transit as a hard service and we unanimously support 100% funding of new growth related costs for the future provision of this service. Al Leach, .~finjster Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing March 17, 1997 Page" 3. ThirtY Percent Reduction for Soft Services We are willing to consider a minor reduction in the calculation a/the development charge for soft services on the basis that the timing for the provision of these services is such that funding does not have to be provided up front. We believe strongly that this reduction should be provided in the form of a "Discount" to the cost of a soft service at the time the development charge is calculated. As stated earlier, we are opposed to the "co-funding" principle as set out in the current legislation. We are also willing to explore appropriate service level reductions with the development industry to help achieve a percentage reduction in this regard. As you are aware, we have attempted to explore some innovative ways of achieving these reductions, but our attempts in this regard have been dismissed by UDI. We believe that a 30% reduction to soft services is far too dnmatie at this time, p:uticularly when folded in with the significant reduction in levels of service which will materialize as a result of average serviee level language and the list of exclusions contained in the draft legislation. We are of the unanimous opinion that the soft services' percentage reduction must be considerably Icss than the proposed 30%. 4. Waste Management 'j The municipal sector has already yielded by agreeing to remove waste management from the non-residential side of the development charge. This was one of the twenty minor issues on which we were prepared to agree. Waste management for residentw development must continue to be funded from development charges. Providing the necessary infrastructure including the landfill sites to dispose of the waste created by the new populations in our municipalities is in our view, very much a hard service and must be loo% funded. Mr. Minister, you will note in the chart that we have not agreed to discuss Hydro with UDI, be<-~1I"" we do not have the municipal mandate to negotiate this service. We have repeatedly urged UDI to speak with the appropriate Hydro Commissions directly to explore resolutions to their concerns. You will also note that UDI attempted to link their position p~er on the Farm Assessment issue by including it as one of the conditions for the removal of co- funding from the discussion table. We simply cannot agree to this suggestion, given that this matter &lis within the puIView of the Ministry ofFmance and serves to cloud what rm sure we can all agree is already a very complex issue.

A/I._ech. Minister Ministry of,Hunicipa/ Affairs and Hausing March 17, /997 Page j a resolution, since we began these forum discussions subsequent to the receipt of your letter of December 9, 1996, we have not been successful in reaching a final agreement. We have been successful in coming to some conclusions and agreements on twenty more minor items to date. However, it is interesting to note that the majority of these agreements have been reached because of the municipal sector's willingness to yield, for the purposes of reaching a larger agreement. Well Mr. Minister, we have yielded enough in this very unfair negotiating exercise, where the playing field was already tilted very much in favour of the development industry. The contents of the proposed legislation were brought to our attention on almost every occasion during the course of our negoliations. We found it akin to a game of cards where the opponent has three aces in hand before the game begins. Mr. Minister, the remaining issues which need to be resolved with your intervention are absolutely critical to the municipal sector. Our level of commitment and conviction in terms of resolving these matters in an appropriate manner, so as to ensure that the long term philosophy that new growth must continue to pay fOI" itself is unanimous and strong. Simply proceeding with this legislation, without making appropriate amendments would paralyse the development industry and create significant friction between the municipal sector and the development industry in the months and years to coine, just as we are about to enter one of the best development markets in many years. Ylr. Minister, our residents are telling us very loud and clear that not only are they frustrated with the problems of dealing with new growth. but they are adamant that they do not wish to help pay for the cost of new growth with their property taxes. They simply do not believe that these new costs that they will be asked to absorb will be passed on as savings to new homeowners. Rather, they have exposed this very clearly for what it is; a mechanism for additional profits for the development industry, at their expense! We have worked very hard at reaching a compromise solution to this problem. We would now urge you to complete the exercise, based on sober second thought and the very strong message which we are passing on to you on behalf of our constituents. We have already yielded a great deal and our unanimous position offers a compromise solution. Please implement it! . Yours sincerely, I McCallion n.

THAT Council endorse the proposed "Framework for Assessing the Potential for Site Contamination and Requirements for Remediation in Site-Specific Planning Applications," which is Attachment 1 to Commissioner's Report 97-P- 40; 2. THAT a copy of Commissioner's Report 97-P-40 be forwarded to the Area Municipalities, the Urban Development Institute-Durham Chapter, and the Ministry of Environment and Energy, for information. ';..;;, REPORT 1. Puroose 1.1 The Ministry of Environment and Energy (M.O_E.E.) released a new "Guideline for Use at Contaminated Sites in Ontario," in June 1996. The guideline replaces the February 1989 "Guideline for the Decommissioning and Cleanup of Sites in Ontario", and has the effect of setting new rules for site clean-up, and a reduced role for the Ministry in the process. 1.2 The purpose of this report is to seek Council's endorsement of the "Framework for Assessing the Potential for Site Contamination and Requirements for Remediation in Site-Specific Planning Applications," which is Attachment 1. This framework is recommended as a means to ensure that contaminated sites for which development applications are received are identified and appropriately cleaned up through the planning process. The report also provides an overview of the new provincial guideline. 28 I I I I I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I I Commissioner's Report No. 97-P-40 Page 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 2. 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 New Role for Approval Authorities in the Planning Process Traditionally, the M.O.E.E, has assessed the potential for contamination on a development site. In addition, the Ministry reviewed and approved decommissioning plans, and final clean-up reports. To do so, the Ministry followed the previous February 1989 guidelines. The major features of the new guideline, released in June 1996, which differ from guidelines published in July 1992 and February 1989 are: . there are now three approaches for site remediation: generic, background, and site-specific risk assessment (under the previous guideline, there was only the generic approach); . there are new rules for obtaining public input and public communication on site remediation strategies; and . there is a reduced role for the Province in certifying that a site has been cleaned up and is suitable for the proposed land use. Although the Region did not assume responsibility for assessing decommissioning reports under the Provincial Delegation of Review, the Province has taken the position that this is a site-specific planning issue, and a regional responsibility. As a result, M.O.E.E. will no longer provide technical advice to the Region. The implication of their withdrawal is that the Region can no longer expect advice from the Ministry on the presence of contamination of a site, the acceptability of remedial work plans, or the suitability of a remediated site for a new land use. The Region must find an alternate method of obtaining this information, if it wishes to make decisions on planning applications. As an Approval Authority, the Region has a responsibility under Section 2 of the Planning Act, "to have regard to' matters of provincial interest including "the protection of public health and safety." Policy 3.2.2 of the Provincial Policy Statements expresses a clear expectation that municipalities will ensure that a contaminated site is restored and made suitable for a proposed use. Section 9 of the new guidelines make several references to the role of municipalities in addressing site contamination when considering land use changes. 29 , Commissioner's Report No. 97-P-40 Page 3 2,5 While the Planning Acl and the new Guidelines obligate the Region to have regard to the remediation of contaminated properties, the Region is not obligated to follow any specific procedure to ensure that contaminated sites are identified and restored. The Region has the discretion to decide what it will require from a landowner to confirm that the environmental condition of the property is suitable for the proposed use. In the absence of a detailed process, it is necessary to establish a framework for assessing potential contamination and verifying that a site has been cleaned up. 2.6 The proposed framework, which is Attachment 1, satisfies the Region's statutory duty "to have regard for" provincial interests as expressed in the Planning Act and the Provincial PolicY Statements. It also satisfies the expectations of the public and the Province regarding the Region's role as an Approval Authority, in protecting public health and safety. 3. Managing Risk '" 3.1 Section 331.3 of the Municipal Act protects municipalities from liability for negligence, if a policy decision is made to take, or conversely, to refrain from taking any actions to address site contamination. The Region has the discretion to decide to refrain from taking any action on site contamination, but such a decision would conflict with its obligations as an Approval Authority, as expressed in the Planning Act and the Provincial Policy Statements. 3.2 If the Region decides to address site contamination in the planning process, then it must exercise "due care". A clearly established framework provides the basis for the Region to ensure that it achieves the necessary standard of care. 4. Proposed Regional Framework 4.1 The proposed "Framework for Assessing the Potential for Site Contamination and Requirements for Remediation in Planning Applications" is divided into three steps: . Identification of Potentially Contaminated Sites; . Assessing Detailed Site Assessments and Remedial Work Plans; and . Finalization of Clean-up. 30 I I I . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I . I . I I I I I I I I I I I Commissioner's Report No. 97-P-40 Page 4 4.2 Step 1 requires the applicant to provide information prepared by a qualified engineer that addresses the potential for site contamination. Step 2 applies where site contamination is a possibility. The applicant must submit a detailed site assessment and remedial work plan, based on the Generic or Background Approach, prepared by a qualified engineer. These two approaches are described in Section 5 of this report. 4.3 The detailed site assessment and remedial work plan submitted in Step 2 will be reviewed under a Peer Review process, at the cost of the applicant, to ensure that the applicant's consultant has adequately characterized the extent of contamination, and that the remedial work plan is appropriate. The Peer Review process can be administered either by the Region or by the Area Municipality. 4.4 Step 3 is the finalization of the clean-up process. The Region will require the submission of a "Record of Site Condition" (see Appendix B to Attachment 1) signed by the owner and a qualified engineer, which has been designed by the Ministry to confirm that a site is suitable for the proposed use. 5. Approaches to Site Decommissioning 5.1 Under the new M.O.E.E. guidelines, there are now three approaches to site remediation or decommissioning. 5.2 Generic Approach: This approach is essentially the same approach as was permitted under the previous decommissioning guidelines. Soil and groundwater conditions must be restored to chemical parameters or criteria established by the Province. These parameters were developed to provide protection against adverse effects of contaminants to human health, ecological health and natural environment. 5.3 Background Approach: The soil and groundwater criteria used in this approach represent approximate "background" or "ambient" soil conditions across the Province. These parameters were established by the Province through a series of province-wide sampling of parks which were unaffected by point sources of pollution. The guideline also describes a process for 31 Commissioner's Report No. 97-P-40 Page 5 consultants to establish background levels in the surrounding community, which should better reflect local conditions. 5.4 Site-Specific Risk Assessment Approach: This approach does not involve the restoration of a site based on established soil and groundwater quality criteria. The consultant must assess the risk posed to humans, plants, wildlife and the natural environment, by exposure to the contaminants. Based on the levels of risk, the consultant may recommend the clean-up of the site, or engineered measures to manage, control the movement of, or reduce the concentrations of the contaminants over time. This may result in the retention of contaminants on a site. It is the responsibility of the consultant to outline the monitoring and maintenance required for the site in a risk management plan, including who should be responsible for these functions. This approach is intended to offer alternatives to excavation and off-site disposal of contaminants as methods to ensure that provincially-established soil quality guidelines can be achieved. \~ 5.5 The Site Specific Risk Assessment approach raises several legal concerns. At this stage, it is uncertain how the Region's potential for liability would be . affected if solutions such as engineered controls, or retaining contaminants on a site, were proposed in an application which required Regional approval. The use of this approach also requires an understanding of the science of toxicology and a familiarity with health and ecologically-based risk management. The Region currently does not have experience in applying these scientific practises to planning applications. 5.6 Due to these concerns, further investigation will be undertaken on the planning, legal, health and financial implications of the Site-Specific Risk Assessment approach to site remediation. Until such an investigation is completed, the Region will not be in a position to consider applications where this approach is proposed. 6. Consultation on the Framework and Subsequent Actions 6.1 Letters were sent to the Area Municipal Planning Directors in October 1996 outlining a proposed approach to identifying potentially contaminated sites and site decommissioning. Comments were received from the City of 32 I I I I I, 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I . 1 I I I I I I I I Commissioner's Report No. 97-P-40 Page 6 Oshawa, the Town of Whitby, the Municipality of Clarington, the Town of Pickering and the Township of Scugog, who supported this initiative. A letter was also sent to the President of the Durham Chapter of the Urban Development Institute (V.D.L) requesting comments on the framework. 6.2 Comments from the various municipalities and the U.D.I.-Durham Chapter are summarized in Attachment 2. The recommended policy addresses the cost, administration and timing concerns identified by the area municipalities and the U.D.1. in the initial consultation. 6.3 The U.D.I.-Durham Chapter has advised that the recommended framework is generally agreeable, and that they are interested in continuing a working relationship with the Region on this issue (refer to Attachment 3). Additional input from U.D.1. and the area municipalities will be valuable during further research of the Site Specific Risk Assessment Approach. 6.4 The framework was reviewed by M.O.E.E. staff who advised that it is consistent with the Guideline (refer to Attachment 4). 6.5 The contents of this report have been reviewed by the Works, Health, Legal and Finance Departments who support the due diligence approach to the issue of site contamination. 7. Conclusions 7.1 The proposed "Framework to Assessing the Potential for Site Contamination and Requirements for Remediation in Site-Specific Planning Applications" will ensure that the Region will continue to be able to evaluate development applications, without input from the Ministry of Environment and Energy. 7.2 The proposed process manages risk by screening all applications for the potential of site contamination. Remedial work plans are carefully examined to ensure that they are appropriate for the proposed land use. The process relies on conservative targets and clean-up methods that are based on provincially-established standards. 33 Commissioner's Report No. 97-P-40 Page 7 7.3 Staff will monitor the approaches of other municipalities, and seek to develop common standards.

I I I Attachment 1 Framework for Assessing the Potential for Site Contamination and Requirements for Remediation in Site-Specific Planning Applications 1. Identification of Potentiallv Contaminated Sites When an applicant submits an application for: . a site-specific Regional Official Plan Amendment; . a Plan of Subdivision or Condominium; or . approval of a site-specific Local Official Plan Amendment', The applicant must submit either: a) Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment; or b) Site Screening Questionnaire. A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment is a process for evaluating the potential for the existence of site contamination. The components of a Phase I assessment are:. a records review, a site visit, interviews, and an evaluation of infonnation and reporting. Both the Canadian Standards Association and the Consulting Engineers of Ontario have produced documents to guide the preparation of a Phase 1 assessment. The Region's Site Screening Questionnaire is attached as Appendix A. The purpose of this questionnaire is to review the indicators of potential site contamination to detennine the need for further investigation. This Questionnaire must be completed by applicants and their consulting engineers. For Land Division applications, the Site Screening Questionnaire will be required, but it is only necessary for the applicant to complete the form. 'It is preferable that the issue of site contamination be addressed prior to the adoption of an Official Plan Amendment by an Area Municipality. If this has been done, assessment of site contamination at the approval stage should not be required. 35 If the assessment indicates potential contamination, then a detailed site assessment must be submitted. The detailed assessment should be prepared in accordance with M.O.E.E. Guidelines. 2. Assessing Detailed Site Assessments and Remedial Work Plans Where the potential for site contamination has been established, the applicant will be required to submit a Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment (Detailed Site Investigation and Sampling). If soil and/or groundwater samples exceed Provincial parameters, the applicant will be required to submit a Proposed Remedial Work Plan, with the Phase 2 report. When a detailed site assessment is submitted, due to a determination that a site may be contaminated, the detailed report should be subject to a Peer Review by another qualified consultant. The Phase 2 report and Remedial Work Plan will be subject to a Peer Review by another qualified consultant, at the cost of the applicant. This process will be coordinated either by the Region or by the Area Municipality. Both the Area Municipality and the Region should be involved in the development of the Terms of Reference for the Peer Review. The purpose of the Peer Review is to assess if the consultant has adequately characterized the extent of contamination, and to comment on the appropriateness of the decommissioning plan. Once the Peer Review has determined that the Phase 2 report and Remedial Work Plan are adequate, applications can proceed to approval in principle (Le., draft approval, or approval of an Official Plan Amendment). This approval will be subject to the inclusion of policies or conditions requiring the implementation of the Peer Reviewed Remedial Work Plan, and the submission of a "Record of Site Condition: prior to final approval, or before development can proceed. Where a Remedial Work Plan involves the removal of contaminated materials from a site, the applicant's consultant will be requested to provide copies of tipping documents which confirm that the materials were taken to a licensed receiver of hazardous waste. 36 I I I I I 1 I I I I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I I Finalization of Clean-Up A "Record of Site Condition," signed by a qualified engineer, in accordance with the new M.O.E.E. Guidelines, will be accepted as sufficient proof of the completion of a decommissioning plan, including verification sampling. This document has been designed by the Ministry of Environment and Energy to provide information on the completion of a remedial work plan and the suitability of a site for the proposed use.

Each year since 1991, when "An Act Respecting a Day of Mourning for Persons Killed or Injured in the Workplace" was given Royal Assent, the Durham Regional Labour Council has recognized this day in various ways. Once again, we are asking that every municipality in the Durham Region proclaim April 28, 1997 as a Day of Mourning in recognition of workers killed, injured or disabled on the job. Further, we request that your muniCipality consider proclaiming this day as a annual day of recognition. Thank you for your consideration and support of this National Day of Mourning.

I have always been in favour of this development as it will add services like water and gas. Several times in the past, I have contacted councillors regarding my feelings. However, the proposed zoning change to part lot 28, Concession I, formerly Newcastle does not leave me with a good feeling. The existing plan calls for housing that would be compatable with surrounding housing. The proposed zoning change would result in a lot of small houses being jammed into smaJllots. This would not look good and would detract from the existing housing stock. I don't want to oppose development. I want to encourage suitable development that would enhance the neighbourhood. This is hard to do on 13m lots. Yours Sincerely, ., , i.Jl2. (&J~ j D(ST~TlON.. ~.' i CLERK 1'jJ ...' ACK. BY ORIGINAL COPIES T .

We own a house on Elford Dr. In Liberty Village. This Is a very quiet neighborhood where children play hockey - or baseball, depending on the season - In the middle of the streets , which Is fine, we are just very careful when we dr1ve through the subdivision. We like it and we just thought we were part of a very pleasant community. The pieces of land on which houses sit In Liberty Village are somewhat tiny. As an example, our house is part of a series of townhouses where the land is exactly the width of the house, with a small backyard, a garage In front of the house and a driveway that runs from the garage to the sidewalk; the driveway is just big enough to par1< a car without blocking the sidewalk. In the last couple of months, we have been given two parklng tickets: a) one for being In the way of snow removal; b) one for being par1<ed on the street for more than three hours. I, II As we perceive it, the problems are as foRows: a) When you come into Liberty Village, there is a big sign that reads: "Unassumed roads - use at your own risks" which, If we are not mistaken, means that the streets should not be expected to be cleaned of the snow by the city. One wonders, If we should not expect the city to remove the snow, why one should get a ticket for being in the way of snow removal (we have to admit, however, that there were at least two centimeters of snow on the ground the day the ticket was written). b) We generally have three cars at the house: our own, our 21 year old daughter's and her boyfriend's (who visits quite frequently). We routinely put our car In the garage, our daughter, or her boyfriend, routinely put their car in the driveway, but that leaves one car that has to be par1<ed either on the street or on the sidewalk. Given the almost non existent traffic In the sWdivision, we have systematically chosen to par1< the third car on the street, on the assumption that It would be less of a nl.isance there than across the sidewalk, where people walk their dog or simply have a stroll. 89 Elford Drive Bowmanville, onto L1 C 4R5 Tel: 623-2396 I Of:IGiNAl 1--- t~~T: I i 1.-......-- i \-------- , i ;---..-.-.-- ._~-"-!--: , ~ t---.-..-._---.~ ---- _. ~"-'--4. ---. --l _-.i I --l I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 24, March 1997 (Page 2) Given all that, we are somewhat reluctant to bring up the "problem" of visitors. Like most people In today's communities, our families (parents, brothers and sisters) do not live within the city's limits (let alone with usl). So, what are they supposed to do with their car when they come and visit for a weekend? Should we tell them "don't come and visit us, we will come and visit you because where you live we can pari< our car"? We strongly believe that parking should be controlled to avoid chaotic situations where traffic Is heavy, or in commercial areas such as the main streets downtown. But we equally feel strongly about people being able to enjoy a restful family evening - without having to run out and move a car every other hour - in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We would very much appreciate If the Town Council was open minded enough to consider this, for we know for a fact that most citizens in neighborhoods such as ours, are faced with the same "problem".

To All Municicalities in Ontario Dear Sir/Madam: The Corporation of the Town of Gananoque was recently approached by a neighbour-ing municipality requesting a costing for POlicing service to be provided by Gananoque. After legal opinions were received on the wording of the proposed Bill 105 to amend the Police Services Act. the Town of Gananoque had to advise our neighbours that we were not able to provide such a costing, as it would be in contravention of the legislation. With the potential of other municipalities being faced with the same scenario, the Counci 1 of the Corporation of the Town of Gananoque. passed the resolution on the fOllowing page at their regular Council meeting on April 1, 1997. The Council respectfUlly requests your muniCipality's support of this resolution, and further requests you to send a copy of your support to your local M.L.A., as well as the Solicitor General.. the Honourable Robert Runciman.

You have the opportunity to join Peace Run Canada, and be part of this International Olympic-style relay dedicated to fostering the ideals of world peace. Simply inform the citizens of your community to come out and run, walk or just hold the peace torch as the running team comes through. During this global event, runners in more than 70 nations will pass from hand to hand a flaming Peace Torch symbolizing the goal of international friendship, making this the largest running relay in history. As always, the Peace Run does not seek to raise money or to promote any causes, political or otherwise. Its single pwpose is to provide people everywhere with the opportunity to participate in a global event that promotes world peace and goodwill among nations. We hope you will join us and make this a most memorable and significant event for your city. You may even consider dedicating your town as a "Peace City", as the city of Guelph has, as well as the city of Ottawa, becoming the first capital in the world to do so (please contact us for more information). The attached itinerary shows the progression of the run, the time of arrival in each community, and the start and finish date (May 24 in Niagara Falls, May 30 in Ottawa, and June 6 in Quebec City).

This document may be presented directly to the runners at the ceremony. . TIE IN TO AN EVENT: Let us know if there is someone from your town (Lions Club, . Parks and Recreation) who could assist us in contacting running groups, etc., and would be able to inform us of any events happening in the community on that day where the torch might be welcomed.

Dear Mr. Minister, Since the introduction of the Development Charges Act on November 25, 1996, the GTA Mayors and Chairs have been very proactive in attempting to assist the government in identifying appropriate amendments and modifications to the proposed legislation, so that the end product provides an effective and workable piece of legislation for both the development industry and the municipal sector. On December 6, 1996, the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs held an emergency meeting which was attended by your Parliamentary Assistant, Mr. Ernie Hardeman. A3 you are aware, at that meeting two resolutions were unanimously endorsed which created a framework of nine guiding principles (Appendix 1) and a process for discussion highlighted by the creation of a forum comprising of the municipal sector, the development industry, the provincial government (Appendix II). During this period of time, a number of municipalities imposed development freezes, primarily because the fundamental principle that new growth must continue to pay for itself was being compromised with the introduction of co-funding in the legislation. The municipal sector simply could not agree with the concept that existing taxpayers in our municipalities would now have the additional burden of having to pay for new growth, regardless of what modifications or reductions were made to existing levels of service. Given the potential significant impacts of downloading from other Provincial Govenunent initiatives, the financial hit on our existing tax bases would be dramatic and unacceptable, and further add to our inability to co-fund new development. All of our financial resources are needed for our existing infrastructure. On December 9, 1996, you agreed with our proposal to create a forum to discuss the legislation on the preconditions that all existing development freezes would be lifted and that the proposed Bill 98 would be used as the basis for discussion. These preconditions were met. Since that time, the GTAMayors and Regional Chairs Development Charges Task Force, Co-chaired by Mayor Ann Mulvale from the Town of Oakville and Mayor Don Cousens from the Town of Markham have met numerous times with Urban Development Institute (UDl) representatives and . have reported on two occasions to the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs.

On December 9, 1996, you agreed with our proposal to create a forum to discuss the legislation on the preconditions that all existing development freezes would be lifted and that the proposed Bill 98 would be used as the basis for discussion.

Since that time, the GTAMayors and Regional Chairs DeveJopment Charges Task: Force, Co-chaired by Mayor Ann Mulvale from the Town ofOakvi11e and Mayor Don Cousens from the Town of Markham have met numerous times with Urban Development Institute (UDI) representatives and have reported on two occasions to the GTA Mayors and Regional Chairs. As you are aware, we AI Leach, Minister Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing MarcJr 17,1997 Page 2 have also had the assistance and participation of Mr. TIm Murphy from your office as weU as Joanne Davies from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing who has been charged with the respollSlbility of preparing the legislation language. In addition, we had an opportunity to meet with you at Queen's Park on February 18th, 1997 to provide you with a progress report and to articulate our continued areas of concern. As a result of the numerous meetings we have now held with UDL we have been able to identifY twenty areas of general understanding on what both parties believe are the less contentious issues or matters that need to be addressed in the proposed legislation. These twenty items have been agreed to outright with the exception of the items referred to a joint legislation team comprised ofJoanne Davies and legal and financia1 representatives from UDI and the municipal sector. This team was set up: to seek a better understanding of the meaning of the draft legislation; to provide amended language where further clarification is necessary; or to provide new wording where both UDI and the municipal representatives agree that a different approach to a specific item is preferred to that as set out in the Bill. It was also recognized by both the municipal and UDI representatives that this process may lead to an end result where agreement by both parties may not be reached on all items. :~ Unfortunately; we must report to you that on the key snbstantive issues in the proposed legislation, both parties have not been able to reach an agreement. In essence, we have "agreed to disagree". The chart on Page 7 of Appendix ill provides you with a snapshot overview of the salient issues which remain unresolved at this time. This chart was discussed in significant detail with the GTA Mayors and Chairs on February 21, 1997 and the column on the right hand side reflects clearly their very strong, unanimous support (or the stated mnnicipal sector position. Specifically, we would like to highlight the key issues and supporting rationale for your consideration: 1. Co-funding In our view, the end product of co-funding will not be to control the service levels in the Greater Toronto Area. Under the present legislation, no matter how much levels of service are reduced, municipalities and by inference existing taxpayers, will still have to pay 10"10 of any new hard services and 3oolo of so called "soft services". The proposed loolo and 3oolo co-funding amounts in the draft legislation would be passed on to existinll taxpayers. At the same time, it is our contention that these savings would not be passed on to new home buyers, since the fundamental principles of supply and demand for housing in Ontario will continue to have paramountcy in this regard. In other words, the marketplace will continue to dictate the price of houses in the Greater Toronto Area. As a result, what co-funding is actually achieving is the transfer of the toolo and 30% cost of new growth to existing taxpayers, thus resulting in the equivalent amount of money being realized as a net profit by the development industry. This end result continues to be completely unacceptable to the municipal sector. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Al Leach, Mlllistu Mlllistry of Municipal A/Jain and HOIISing March 17, 1997 Page 3 Therefore, we continue to insist that co-funding !llYn be removed from the draft legislation. In addition, based on our diSCl'c;,ioos with 001, we believe they have come to realize that co-funding is not as beneficial to them as it may have seemed at first blush. At the present time, market forces dictate the rate of growth. Under the new proposed regime, co-funding would ensure that the marketplace would no longer be the primary consideration for growth. Rather, municipalities' ability to contribute their 10% and 30% would now artificially drive this exercise. For this reason alone, we do not think: that co-funding will be at all beneficial to our Provincial economy, since it would no longer respect the natural laws of the marketplace. 2. Zero Percent Reduction for Hard Services UDI has already concurred with us that storm and sanitary sewer, water and road components of the development charge should be moved back to 100% funding by the development industry. It is our contention that Police and Fire Services are at least as important as the other hard services listed above beca"'" they provide critical life and safety services to our new residents. We do not believe it is appropriate to now provide a lower 1eveI. of service for these critical service components to the new residents moving into our municipalities. For this reason, we continue to advocate that these key hard services shou1d also be 100"10 funded by the development industry. A3 already stated in the proposed legislation, we agree with the Provincial Government that transit should remain a hard service. This is consistent with the Provincial Government's objective to seek economies of scale with intensified urban development. It also recognizes that the added financial burden recently proposed by the Province of Ontario to totally add transit and GO services to local municipality scope of responsibilities will create significant financial challenges. Although operational costs under this new regime will be difficult to quantify and absorb, our greatest concern is the significant loss in capital funding from the Provincial Government, as a resu1t of the elimination of the 75% conditional grant environment and now the proposed complete elimination of all capital funding from the Province for these services. The e1imination of these capital dollars and reducing by 30"10 the new growth costs of providing these services contradicts the Province's stated objectives and seriously compromises the future provision of transit services in this Province. As a result, we support the 1egiolAnon's intent to identify transit as a hard service and we unanimously support 100"10 funding ofnew growth related costs for the future provision of this service. Al Leach, Minister Ml1Jistry of Municipal Affairs and Housing March 17, 1997 Page" 3. Thirtv Percent Reduction for Soft Services I t We are willing to consider a minor reduction in the calculation o/the development charge for soft services on the basis that the timing for the provision of these services is such that funding does not have to be provided up front. We believe strongly that this reduction should be provided in the fonn of a "Discount" to the cost of a soft service at the time the development charge is calculated. As stated earlier, we are opposed to the "co-funding" principle as set out in the current legislation. We are also willing to explore appropriate service level reductions with the development industIy to help achieve a percentage reduction in this regard. As you are aware, we have attempted to explore some innovative ways of achieving these reductions, but our attempts in this regard have been dismissed by OOL We believe that a 300/0 reduction to soft services is far too dramatic at thu time, particularly when folded in with the significant reduction in levels of service which will materialize as a result of average service level language and the list of exclusions contained in the draft legislation. We are of the unanimous opinion that the soft services' percentage reduction I!!lW be considerably less than the proposed 300/0. 4. Waste Management The municipal sector has already yielded by agreeing to remove waste management from the non-residential side of the development charge. This was one of the twenty minor issues on which we were prepared to agree. Waste management for residential development must continue to be funded from development charges. Providing the necessary infrastructure including the landfill sites to dispose of the waste created by the new populations in our municipalities is in our view, very much a hard service and must be 100% funded. Mr. Minister, you will note in the chart that we have not agreed to discuss Hydro with OO!, because we do not have the municipal mandate to negotiate this service. We have I'P.p"1ItedIy urged 001 to speak with the appropriate Hydro Commissions directly to explore resolutions to their concerns. You will also note that 001 attempted to link their position P!lPCJ' on the Farm Assessment issue by including it as one of the conditions for the removal of co- funding from the discussion table. We simply cannot agree to this suggestion, given that this matter 1liIIs within the purview of the Ministry of Finance and serves to cloud what I'm sure we can all agree is already a very complex issue. Conclusion Mr. Minister, although we have tried very hard to bargain in good faith for the purposes of reaching I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I . II I I II I j. I I I I I I . . . Al {,each, Minister Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing March 17, 1997 Page 5 a resolution, since we began these forum discussions subsequent to the receipt of your letter of December 9, 1996, we have not been successful in reaching a final agreement. We have been successful in coming to some conclusions and agreements on twenty more minor items to date. However, it is interesting to note that the majority of these agreements have been reached because of the municipal sector's willingness to yield, for the purposes of reaching a larger agreement. Well Mr. Minister, we have yielded enough in this very unfair negotiating exercise, where the playing field was already tilted very much in favour of the development industry. The contents of the proposed legislation were brought to our attention on almost every occasion during the course of our negotiations. We found it akin to a game of cards where the opponent has three aces in hand before the game begins. Mr, Minister, the remaining issues which need to be resolved with your intervention are absolutely critical to the municipal sector. Our level of commitment and conviction in terms of resolving these matters in an appropriate manner, so as to ensure that the long term philosophy that new growth must continue to pay for itself is unanimous and strong. Simply proceeding with this legislation, without making, appropriate amendments would paralyse the development industry and create significant friction between the municipal sector and the development industry in the months and years to coine, just as we are about to enter one of the best development markets in many years. Mr. Minister, our residents are telling us very loud and clear that not only are they frustrated with the problems of dealing with new growth, but they are adamant that they do not wish to help pay for the cost of new growth with their property taxes. They simply do not believe that these new costs that they will be asked to absorb will be passed on as savings to new homeowners. Rather, they have exposed this very clearly for what it is; a mechanism for additional profits for the development industry, at their expense! _9' We have worked very hard at reaching a compromise solution to this problem.

Development charges should be based on reasonably anticipated future levels of service and expenditures as determined by appropriate underlying studIes. 4. Development charge practices Inconsistent with the spirit of th. leglslallon are not supported by municipalllles and should be dealt with accordingly. 5. Development charge legislation mUst aohleve a high degr.. of administrative simplicity which is not apparent in the new legislation. 6. Permissive legislation should enable municipalities to grant exemptions to development charges rather than legislating exemptions. 7. There should be an attempt to ensure equity amongst taxpayers so that those who have had to bear the growth-related costs in the past are not now having to cross- subsidize further new growth. 8. Any saVings that accrue as a result of reductions in development charges should be passed onto end users. 9.

Deae Mayoe Hamee & Council: RE: The New By-law Regaeding Teees I would like to expeess to Council membees, some of my concerns eegarding the peoposed teee cutting by-law and unnecessaey eesteictions such a by-law may impose on oue peopeety and fa em opeeation. We own a farm on the east side of Clarington, which consists of a woodlot of approximately 50 acres in size. We do not cut trees unnecessarily, but we do require the removal of trees for fence posts, lumber for our farm wagons, repairs to farm buildings as well as for fire wood. In order to prevent restrictions being imposed on woodlots when wood is removed for their own use, I would like to suggest that there be an exemption for "own use" and "working agricultural farms". Trees are a renewable source, and in order to ensure proper management of a woodlot, trees must be removed to allow for growth of the woodlot. It is important to remember that teees can also create peoblems when planted too close to roads, telephone oe hydro lines, buildings oe septic systems. We have some very large and old maple trees in front of our house and at some time they will have to be removed before they fall onto our house or the road. If these trees were to come down during a storm it could also cause hy~ro and telephone service to be disconnected, which would have a maJor impact on other property owners in the area, especially if it was to happen during the winter months. If a by-law was in place which required certain approvals/permits to be obtained or imposed restrictions that would make it difficult or costly for the proper ty owner to remove these trees, would the mun ic ipal i ty be willing to assume responsibility for the damage caused? For your information, I have attached an article from the Toronto Star paper entitled "We don't need trees for oxygen". ...2.. . - 2 - Mayor Diane Hamre & Council: In conclusion, I would like to ask all Council members to carefully consider all the positive and negative aspects of such a by-law. Perhaps the issue of tree removal and replacement could be best deal with on an individual basis, during discussions involving development proposals, prior to road construction or reconstruction work, through implementation of a policy or agreement which would apply to that individual landowner. Woodlots exist because of proper management by property owners and not because of unnessary restrictions being imposed. I hope you will take our views into consideration before any decision is finalized.

That the attached position of the ALPHA respecting public health funding be endorsed; and 2. That this report be forwarded to: · Durham's MPPs, municipal councils, hospital boards, and school boards for endorsation; and · Ontario's Premier and Ministers of Health, Municipal Affairs & HOUSing, and Finance, the ALPHA and the AMO for infonnation. 'i REPORT: 1. On January 14, the Minister of Community and Social Services made the following announcement (Appendix A): "Municipalities will assume full funding of public health programs, with the province retaining responsibility for those programs with a province-wide reach, such as disease control and immunization." This decision is contrary to recommendations/positions of the Who Does What Advisory Panel, the Association of Local Public Health Agencies . (ALPHA), the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), and the Regional Council all of whom proposed that public health be 100% provincially funded. 2. Following the Minister's announcement, the ALPHA Board of Directors developed and approved the attached position paper entitled Public Health - a Shared Responsibility (Appendix B). 147 I... I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I '. I I . . . . I . I . I I I I I I . . Report 97.MOH.10 contd... ...2 In essence, the paper argues that the provincial funding decision will lead to a steady erosion in the quality of public health services. In turn, there will be adverse community health consequences and additional costs to the remainder of Ontario's health care sector. The paper recommends that funding for public health services should be a shared responsibility with the cost-sharing formula to be determined by the Province and municipalities. This recommendation is consistent with positions embodied in correspondence items a,b,f,hJ which also recommend that public health services be provincially funded, ranging from 50% to 100%. 4. The ALPHA, which was incorporated in 1986, is a voluntary, province-wide association which represents 40 of Ontario's 42 boards of health and medical officers of health. The Regional Municipality of Durham is a member. R.J.

The plan starts with a simplified arrangement between the province and municipalities. The current maze of programs is costly to taxpayers and confuses people in need. The Government plan integrates the delivery of important social, community health and housing programs at the municipal level. This will create a delivery system that is more efficient and cost:effective. The province will continue its responsibilities for standards. .,. ~. On behalf of the Ministers of Health and Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Minister announced a.number of important decisions about the management and financing of social, community health and housing programs: To enable municipal taxpayers to share in the savings resulting from the government's reduction of welfare benefits to 10%. above the average of the other provinces, the introduction of work for welfare, and the government's. crackdown on. fraud and abuse, the funding of welfare will be shared 50/50 between the province and the municipalities. The Government will establish a Municipal Social Assistance Reserve as a prudent safeguard against unforseen local economic circumstances and . make an initial contribution to the fund of $700 million. Child Care will be managed at the municipal level and cost-shared 50/50, within comprehensive provincial quality and safety standards to safeguard children. Responsibility for the management and funding of social housing will be transferred to the municipalities, enabling them to determine the housing needs of their. communities. .. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I - 2- The province remains commi1ted to maintaining health care spending at $17.4 billion. Municipalities will assume full funding of public health programs, with the province retaining responsibility for those programs with a province-wide reach, such as disease control and immunization. Municipalities will assume responsibility for the delivery and financing of land ambulance services, while the province will continue to set standards. The province will continue to be responsible for air ambulances. The Government has taken important steps already to improve long-term care. These changes will be maintained because they improve quality and access to services. Building on reforms that have already been made in long-term care, the next step in the plan is the creation of a new provincial Long Term Care Agency that will co-ordinate the system within province-wide standards. Municipalities will assume 50% of the funding for these services. The province will assume responsibility for full funding of Children's Aid Societies. The province will assume responsibility for full funding of women's shelters. The Minister also announced the province will shortly establish a Social and Community Health Servicesimplementation Team, with members. from both levels of government, to advise on the best way to manage the changes announced today. These are major changes that will benefit every citizen of the province said the Minister. This new plan for integrated social and community health services will provide more efficient services, at a price the Ontario taxpayer can afford. -30- lS0 MBR-07-97 FRI 10:48 DURHAM HEALTH WHITBY FAX NO. 905 723 6026 P. 24.:c_--cJ alPHa Revised Appendix 8 Report #97-MOH_10. Campaign fOT Cost Shared Public Health Association of Local PUBLIC HEALTH Agendas POSITION STATEMENT Public Health - A Shared Responsibility Provincial Government Decides Not to Fund Public Health. On Janll.'U}' 14, 1997, Wi part of the "Mega Week" announcements, the Provincial Govel'llment pledged to download their $225 million portion of funding for public health to municipalities and retain only a portion for provincially funded programs. The Association of Local Public Health Agencies believes however, that public health is a shared responsibility between the province and municipalities. Pub/k Heo./th i!I a Province-WuJe Investment in He4/th Public health programs an: a great way for the province to ensure the health of Ontarians for tomorrow. Public health programs are designed to keep people and communities healthy. Despite the importance of public health programs, JDanY don't know what they are. Read on and you'll recogni2e many of them. DOWttu"uJing to MunicipaliJies - Publi<: HeRlth (f Concerns Hy necessity, public health programs must be broad in scope. After all, we're tRlking about prol11Oting and protecting the health of entire COIIlIIlllDities. There are many competing pressures for municipal tax dollars. 100% municipal funding could lead to the steady erosion in public health programs across the prOvince. Communities across Ontario will vary markedly in their ability to; · control communicable diseases and outbreaks; · carry out cancer prevention activities; · undertake heart health programs. targeting Canada's Number I killer; · assure that children and seniors are adequately vaccinated against such diseases as meningitis and flU; · assure the safety and purity of drinkine water and tural ground water; · prevent low.birth weight babies and help new mothers; · prevent dental cavities and other dental problems in children; · prevent youth from =nln"g or using drugs; · reduce teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (AIDS); · provide the support and services to keep seniors healthy, active and independent. Many other examples could be given. If municipalit!es fully fund public health progIams, Qrrtm-;"". can look forward to lL loss of consiatCDtly applied standards and programs across the province. Municipalities have traditioll811y funded "bard" services sucl1 as roads, transit, waste collection, policini. etc. The municipal members of our associaIion have already stated. that they will have a difficult time convincing their collCll&UC8 to support public health services w)1en they are COUIpeting against these other "hard" services. Under fhrnfing injust a few municipalities will dim;";"" the whole system. Public health is only as strong as its weakest link. 415 Yonge Stree~ Suite 1618, Toronto, Ontario MSB.2E7 Tef; (416) 595-0006 fax: {416) 595-0030 . 1 5 1 &mail: mail@alphaweb.Q(g I . . .. .

Keeping People Healthy - Reducillg Ht!Il/th Costs Public health programs keep people healthy by preventing diseases and promoting healthy lifestyles. Money not spent on public health programs will be spent later on hospitals and on doctors. Public health, in partnership with communities, prevent these threats from occurring by: · monitoring trends in health and disease; · promoting and protecting health; · preventing disease; · being part of a coordinated, integrated provincial public health system. How Much Money Does This Cost? Relatively little. Only $225 million Or 1.2% of the province's $17.8 billion health budget. Consistent public health programs helps the province manage its health budget Preventing diseases and keeping people healthy doesn't cost money, it saves money. The Public Expecf8 Nothing Less The public expects to live in a healthy environment Wat<:r is supposed to be safe. food should always be hygienically prepared. collUllunicable diseases must be contained, and children must be cared fOr. It lakes a public he31th in:fi:astructure to ensure this is done. Remember that it was public health who msponded to these recent emergenci~: · the ground water contamination with CfYptosporidium in Waterloo Region which affected 25,000 household:! in 1993; · the meningitis outbreak in Ottawa schools in 1993: · the expOsure to mercury among 100 school kids who found this toxic substance found in an abandoned Hamilton plant in 1993; . · the Hepatitis B outbre3k in a North York c:\inic potentially affecting tt.""""''''!s that crossed the borders into the Regions of York, Durham, and other. cities in Metropolitan Toronto from 1992-1996; . · Thunder Bay's emergency control assistance to victims of forest fires in 1996; · the province-wide ID"".I.... iramunization campaign for school children in 1996. Trained staff need to be in place around the province to respond to emcrgeucies and to do the day-to-day work of improving their community's health. . am Slurring i$ a W"mIW'lII SoIutJon! Today, public health programs are cost shared, i.e. they are mostly 75% provincially funded. and 25% municipally funded. This allows the province to set standards and enstIre the health and safety of Ontarians for today llIld tomonow.

Where a municipality has appointed a "Municipal" Weed Inspector under Section 8 of the Act, it may by by-law designate additional weeds as noxious in all or part of the municipality. Such a by-law requires approval of the Minister. 4. Regional Weed Inspectors may, in some instances. not be able to order weeds to be cut that the public may deem should be destroyed. Section 22 of the Act exempts from its requirements those weeds which are far enough away from any land used for agricultural or horticultural purposes that they do not interfere with that use. 5. In order to comply with the provisions of Section 15 of the Act, a statement of the expenses incurred by the Regional Wed Inspector which has not been paid within fifteen days after request for payment shall be presented to the Council of the Municipality in which the land is located. Section 15 of the Act reads as follows: 15. (1) If an order served under Section I3 is not complied with, the inspector may cause the noxious weeds or weed seeds to be destroyed in the prescribed manner. (2) Inspectors shall keep a record of the expenses incurred under subsection (l) with respect to each parcel ofland. (3) The expenses shall be submitted to the clerk of the municipality who shall have a statement of the expenses and a notice requesting payment served on the person in possession of the land and on its owner. (4) The statement and notice shall be serviced in the same manner as an order under Section 13. (5) If the person upon whom a statement and notice were served fails to pay the amount set out in the statement within fifteen days after the service of the notice, the clerk shall present the statement to the Council of the Municipality in which the land is located, and the Council shall order the amount to be paid out of the general funds for the municipality. (6) The amount paid by the municipality shall be deemed to be taxes and shall be added to the collector's roll against the receptive parcels concerned and collected in the same manner and with the same priorities as municipal taxes 1988, c.51.s.15.

I am responding on behalf of Dr. Lennon. In 1993. the Regional Council's Health and Social Services Committee directed Dr. John Turner, the then Dental Director, to comment on the merits of fluoridation of municipal water supplies, in light of the lack of fluoridated water in parts of Clarington. The report is attached to this letter. In essence, the report states the following: . Fluoridation is an effective and safe measure for preventing dental caries; . It is difficult to determine the need for fluoridation in Clarington and to evaluate its effectiveness if introduced owing to the availability of a variety of other sources of fluoride; and . The Regional Municipality of Durham is responsible for fluoridation systems. I have directed my staff to review more recent dental health status information to determine whether a nel<d for fluoridation exists in Clarington. This review may take several months to complete because, in part, we have not completed our school-based dental screening for the 1996/97 school year. 'In the meantime, we stand by the opinions expressed in the report. In.closing, th8nk you, again, for your interest in this matter. By way of copying this letter and the report to the Mayorof Clarington, I intend to reacquaint the Mayor and Council of our opinion. After our review of the dental health information-is complete. we will infonn you and the Mayor and Council if our opinion has changed.

Receives this report for information; and Forwards this report to the Works Committee and to the Municipality of Clarington.. REPORT: . 1. On July 6, 1993. the Health and Social Services Committee directed the Dental. Director to prepare a report on the merits of the fluoridation of municipal water supplies. His report is attached to this report. In addition. the position of the Canadian Dental Association on this issue and the recommendations of the Working I Group convened by this Association to review this issue in light of current research are attached to his report. . The Dental Director concludes that fluoridation of municipal water supplies is an effective measure for preventing dental caries in all age groups and there is no I evidence that it is a health hazard at recommended doses. However. it would be difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of water fluoridation if introduced into an I unfIuoridated community in Durham Region owing to the variety of other sources of Duorides (e.g.. toothpastes, mouth rinses, etc.) that may be positively affecting the . dental health of such communities.

FRCPC Medical Officer of Health ,. 21 TO: Dr.A. J. Kyle, Medical Officer of Health FROM: Dr. J. L. Turner, Dental Director DATE: October 6, 1993 RE: Fluoridation Preamble The introduction of mass fluoridation of communal water supplies for the control of caries (dental decay) began in Ontarid about 1962. After a decade of often highly emotional argument, both pro & con, and numerous municipal referendums, fluoridation was initiated in many of the urban areas of the province. As a mass public health measure it has been successful beyond the most optimistic predictions of its early proponents. Now after more than thirty years in effect it has gained universal acceptance, not only in this province and across Canada, but around the world. :l:'.~ There is probably no public health measure that has been as thoroughly researched, scrutinized and investigated as has fluoridation. There exists in libraries around the world literally masses of articles, research papers and statistics dealing with the use of fluoride in dentistry. Every aspect of the subject has been covered and recovered in the last forty years and the amount of material that has been published on the subject is truly formidable. From this mass of published material two facts stand out. Fluoridation works, and it is safe, and these facts are supported by an equally formidable mass of charts, graphs and statistical data, all of which makes for dry and onerous reading. History of Fluoridation About 1902 a Colorado dentist, Frederick S. McKay began to study an odd brownish staining or mottling of the teeth of some residents of Colorado Springs. The local people . told him that this mottling was the result of "something in the water". For the next thirty years McKay, and others, worked to identify that "something". Mottled teeth were not unique to Colorado Springs, where it was called .Colorado Brown Stain' (Texans referred to it as "Texas Teeth"). It occurred in many places across the United States and although the discolouration caused no physical harm, the cosmetic result was often disastrous. McKay's first attempts to identify the cause of mottled teeth were unsuccessful. Chemical analysis of the water from affected areas failed to show anything out of the ordinary. Eventually however McKay did find evidence that convincingly tied mottling to water supply. Residents of the town of Oakley, Idaho noticed. that children began to develop mottling after the town changed the source of its water suppfy. McKay suggested a second change take place, which the town did and this produced three groups of children: one whose teeth developed after the first change and 22 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 'l .' I I I I I I I I were mottled. and two whose teeth developed before the first change and after the second and who exhibited normal white colouring. It was H. V. Churchill, the chief chemist for the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) who provided McKay information in 1931 that fluoride was involved in mottling. Bauxite, Arkinsas which produced aluminum ore of the same name was affected by mottling. At this time critics were claiming that aluminum cookware was poisonous (a claim later disproven) and ALCOA was afraid it would also be blamed for mottling of the teeth. A series of analyses of Bauxite's water showed large (13.7 p.p.m.) concentrations of fluoride. In the meantime chemists at the university of Arizona successfully produced mottling in several cohorts of laboratory rats by feeding them water from St. David Arizona, a community with a high degree of mottling. McKay had noted in papers published in 1925 and 1928 that although mottling was unsightly, those affected by it had very low rates of tooth decay. A United States public health dental surgeon, Trendly Dean, travelled throughout the country and collected water samples wherever people exhibited mottling. He concluded that fluoride in concentrations of about 1 p.p.m. reduced the incidence of tooth decay without causing any mottling. It is interesting to note that a 1942 paper by Dean on fluoridation continues to be cited and is core to the research front even today. In 1944 the United States Public Health Service began a large scale experiment to test fluoridation as a means of combatting tooth decay. The city of Grand Rapids, Michigan started adding 1 p.p.m. fluoride to its water while the city of Muskegon, similar in size with out fluoridation served as a control. Grand Rapids soon showed a sharp drop in decay rates and it was not long before neighbouring towns, notably Madison Wisconsin in 1947 adopted the practice. In 1950 both the Public Health Service and the American Dental Association found the evidence to support the efficacy of fluoridation strong enough to endorse universal fluoridation of communal water supplies. Cities such as Newburgh, New York reported tooth decay rates dropped by one third after three years of fluoridation. Midland, Michigan reported the average 12 - 14 year old had two decayed, missing or filled teeth after several years of fluoridation, compared to the state-wide average of seven. Colorado Springs where it all began and which was naturally fluoridated reported decay rates of one third that of Boulder, Colorado which had no fluoride in its water. These striking results impressed public health officials to universally endorse fluoridation as an effective way to prevent tooth decay, and save money on dental care. Ontario Dental Health Indices The index most used in the compilation of dental health statistics is the D.M.F. rate. this is a numerical index that describes the dental experience of a single tooth, an individual, or a large population. The D.M.F. index stands for decayed (D), that is teeth requiring treatment, missing (M) teeth lost due to dental disease, or accident, and filled (F) an indication of the treatment experience of a single tooth. The D.M.F. rate for an individual is simply the number of decayed teeth requiring treatment in the individuals mouth, plus 23 the number of teeth lost for whatever reason, plus the number of teeth that have been restored or filled. The D.M.F. rate for a group is the sum of the individual D.M.F. rates divided by the number of people in the group. D.M.F. rates for large populations can be fairly accurately determined by surveying a random crossection of the group and by statistical analysis and extrapolation a determination can be made. When dental surveys are done permanent and deciduous (baby) teeth are treated separately. The index D.M.F. indicates a permanent tooth group, and d.e.!. the deciduous tooth group. Mass fluoridation measures in Ontario began about 1962. However it was not until 1972 that the Ministry of Health began its biennial dental survey and began publishing statistics on the dental health status of the provinces elementary school population. The information is supplied by those health units across the province that have survey programs. It is unfortunate that fluoridation was in wide spread use for ten years before the biennial survey was initiated. There is therefore no accurate base line data available as to the dental health status of the Province's elementary school population before the effects of fluoridation became evident. >I.. .r~ While a number of factors have contributed to the improved dental health in Ontario over the past forty or so years, there is unanimous agreement among the scientific community that the introduction of fluoride in dentistry was the single greatest factor and provided the greatest impact on the process of improvement. The use of fluoride to control dental disease marked the beginning of the growth of the preventive concept in dentistry. It provided a stimulus that changed the profession itself from a treatment, technology driven profession to one that is prevention oriented with a broader more holistic view of dental health as it relates to the individuals general health and well being. Table 1 contains a summary of the more significant statistics gleaned from the Ministry biennial surveys from 1972 - 1990. The Dental Division will conduct dental survey of school children this school year. Accordingly, the results will provide up to date figures on the dental health status of Durham Region. Across the Province decay rates for all age groups from 1972 - 1988 have shown dramatic decreases. Age 5 - 55.47% reduction Age 7 - 54.83% reduction Age 9 - 54.33% reduction Age 11 - 56.10% reduction Age 13 - 60.75% reduction So successful has the use of fluoride been in controlling dental decay and so dramatic have been the change in statistics regarding the dental health status across the Province the Ministry has switched its survey to a once in four years and it likely will be extended to a one in five regimen in the near future. 24. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I tl I I I I I I I ,- - I I I I I I I I I Conclusion It has been established then that fluoridation is both a safe and effective public health measure. It has been well accepted, and indeed is taken for granted by much of the population. The figures pertaining to decay rates and treatment requirements prove beyond a doubt that the dental health status of the provinces population is infinitely better than it was thirty years ago, when the use of fluoride was just beginning. It is easy of course for those with a dental health bias to ascribe entirely this improved status to the initiation of fluoridation of the communal water supply and to that alone. However for those in the profession who have witnessed the changes as they occurred over the years the picture is not so cut and dried. Many other factors have had an impact on the process of improvement. The myriad fluoride spin-offs have already been mentioned, but several other significant factors have added appreciable impetus to improved dental health status. The widespread availability of dental insurance and third party coverage as items connected to union contract benefits has likely had a tremendous effect, especially in Durham Region. The ongoing use of antibiotics in the treatment of upper respiratory infections has had a ripple effect on the oral microbiology. The relative affluence that has persisted over the last few decades, with the rise of consumerism and T.V. advertising has had a considerable impact on peoples attitudes toward dental health The rise of the "beautiful people" image embraced by much of the population, and its obsession with appearance and perfection has greatly increase dental awareness and the benefits of good oral hygiene. It is essential too to acknowledge the results achieved by the preventive dental programs that have been in place in the Province's 42 health units for the last 20 years. These have produced generations of children, and a generation of young adults, and parents, who are health conscious and dentally aware, and who are careful not to jeopardize their health or appearance by neglecting their oral hygiene. When one considers the Durham Region, in light of these factors and takes into account the growth the Region has exhibited over the last twenty years, and the transient nature of much of the population, the D.M.F. rates between children in fluoridated areas and those in unfluoridated areas are not startling. Furthermore, the question then arises how effective the initiation of fluoridation in those areas currently without it (e.g. Clarington) would be. It is unlikely that a significant change in D.M.F. rates between fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities would be enough to demonstrate the effectivess, if any, of fluoridating the water supplies of a number of small municipalities that exist in the less urban areas of the Region. Fluoridation then becomes a political issue, and its initiation, or not, is based on whether a municipal council forms an opinion that fluoridation is in the best interest of its community.

II ~ i , I I III II rt I I I I I I I I APPENDIX A The Canadian Dental Association's Policy Statement on Controlled Water Fluoridation The Canadian Dental Association (COAl, recognizing its commitment to a renewed fluoridation initiative in North America and acknowledging its responsibility of leadership to the dental profession in Canada, strongly reaffirms its position on fluoridation of public water supplies. Tooth decay which affects the vast majority of Canadians is one of the major health problems of our time. The prevalence of tooth decay is strikingly low in areas where the concentration of fluoride in the water supply is at, or close to the optimal level. Nearly all drinking waters have some fluoride naturally present, but most are deficient. Controlled water fluoridation adjusts the concentration of fluoride in water supplies to the optimum level for the prevention of tooth decay (1.2 p.p.m.l. Since controlled water fluoridation was initiated in North America in 1944, millions of people throughout the world have benefited from this proven public health measure. Exhaustive scientific research and the experience of people throughout the world reveal fluoridation to be an efficient, safe and inexpensive public health procedure. There are no alternative methods of equal effectiveness. The Association therefore recommends that, where possible, the fluoride. content of community water supplies be adjusted to the optimal level for the maximum prevention of dental decay. Where community fluoridation is not possible, school water fluoridation and individualized methods of supplying fluoride for the protection of dental health be considered. A major goal of the CDA is to increase the profession's awareness and knowledge concerning water fluoridation. Education of the public is a priority that must be addressed by all members. Experience has shown that legislators and city council members can be responsibly informed about the issues. The trust generated by the dentist-patient relationship can and should be used to promote fluoridation. Generally, success is not attainable unless a sincere commitment is made by the profession. Private practitioners must become committed and involved, preferably before the controversy begins. ~- 27 APPENDIX B The 1992 Status :~~:. Since the initiation and widespread acceptance of fluoridation of communal water supplies, a whole commercial industry has grown about the use of fluoride in dentistry. Over and above its use in drinking water there has been myriad spin offs and a host of fluoride containing products have come on the market. Tooth pastes, mouth rinses, topically applied solutions and gels as well as liquid and lozenge type fluoride supplements are all available now, to both the profession and the public. While some products require a prescription, most do not and the whole fluoride milieu has taken on the aura of a hound's breakfast. So much so, that the scientific and professional community has expressed some concern as to its being unregulated and overdone. Indeed the dental profession has noted an increase in fluorosis in a number of children, which takes the form of a very slight almost imperceptible light mottling of enamel. While it is still relatively uncommon and it is by no means a public health problem, the cosmetic effects of fluoride overdose might well become a concern in years to come. With this in mind and with a desire to bring some order and regulation to the use of fluoride in dentistry, a Workshop on Fluorides was held in Toronto on April 9 - 11, 1992. This gathering was attended by public health and paediatric dental specialists and dental scientists from across North America to evaluate the current literature on the utilization of fluorides. The purpose of the workshop was to determine the appropriateness of the C.D.A. recommendations covering concentration of fluoride compounds, the amount used, and the frequency of use forthe various methodologies of administration used in Canada. The workshop sought to determine whether currently recommended dosages need to be adjusted to ensure optimal dosages from all sources sufficient to sustain current levels of prevention of dental decay without increasing the risk of fluorosis. The report of the Working Group of the Canadian Workshop on the Evaluation of Current Recommendations Conceming Fluorides made a number of recommendations, a summary of which is attached. .~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II , I I I I I I I I I , '. I I . I I I I . RECOMMENDATIONS General consensus was achieved by the Working Group on the (ollowing statements: Water fluoridation 1. Water fluoridation at recommended levels is endorsed and encouraged because: a) Water fluoridation is an efficacious/effective measure for preventing dental caries in all age groups. b) Water fluoridation equitably provides the greatest benefits for those who have limited access to other sources of fluoride or other caries preventive technologies. c) At recommended doses. there is no evidence that water fluoridation presents a risk to general health. d) Water fluoridation is the preferable source of systemic and topical fluoride to prevent dental caries. 2. A scientific panel should be convened to review and evaluate the data concerning standards en the minimal. optimal and maximum concentrations of fluoride in fluoridated communities.. and the maximum allowable concentration of fluoride for naturally fluoridated communities because of the: ' a) Potential risk of dental flUorosis (a side effect which may or may not be an esthetic concem in the future but is in no way a major dental health problem at this time). b) Increased exposure of the public to a variety of different sources of fluorides. d) Evidence that increased exposure to fluorides has increased the prevalence of fluorosis. Impact of variations in ambient temperature and humidity. and the increased use of air conditioning throughout Canada that need to be considered for the determination of optimal concentrations. c) 3. Fluoride levels in community water supplies should be properly monitored and adjusted routinely to prevent wide fluctuations in fluoride concentrations. 4. Manufacturers should provide labelling on foods and beverages to indicate the fluoride content of the product. 4 , ~ 79. . er producL d) Should !lQ! be recommended in fluoridated areas. e) Should be packaged with a written dosage regimen. I 2 The use of fluoride supplements may be appropriate for targeted individuals and groups for children three years and older in areas with less than or equal to 0.3 I I ppm fluoride in the water according to the foUewing dosage schedule: , Estimated mean fluoride level from aU ingested fluids I Age of Child Auoride in Water Supply <0.3 ppm 3. 4 & 5 yrs 0.25 mg. . 6+ yrs 1.0 mg I · if there is not regular use of fluoridated toothpaste, then 0.5 mg is recommended I 3.

Studies on the effectiveness of professionally applied topical fluorides with a reduced concentration of fluoride should be promoted. 2. The following procedures for the professional application of fluoride gels should be encouraged: a) Apply for 4 minutes in well-fitting trays with absorbent liners (custom trays). b) Use only a ribbon of gel in each tray, approximating 2.5 ml in each full-size tray but less in small trays for children. c) If custom trays are used, only 5-10 drops of gel should be dispensed. d) Place the patient in an upright position during application. e) Use suction to remove excess saliva/gel mixture during and after the procedure. ,I I f) g) Instruct the patient to expectorate as much of the material as possible following the removal of trays and not to rinse, eat or drink for 30 minutes after the procedure. Remove excess gel at the conclusion of the procedure. I. II ~ . I I II . "~I I FLUORIDE MOUTHRINSES 1. The use in dental public health school programs of fluoridated mouthrinses (currently 0.2% sodium fluoride administered weekly or biweekly) should be considered for use only in high risk populations aged 6 years and over. 2. Self-applied, daily rinse programs using over-the-counter or specially-formulated fluoride mouthrinses (0.05% sodium fluoride) should be used only in high risk individuals who are aged 6 years and over. 3. All over-the-counter fluoride mouth rinses which are used daily (0.05% sodium fluoride) should be labelled to indicate that they should not be used by children under the age of 6 years. 4. Manufacturers of over-the-counter fluoride mouth rinses should be encouraged to develop alcohol-free products or products with a reduced alcohol content. 5. The Health Protection Branch of Health and Welfare Canada should reconsider its approval of 0.2% sodium fluoride mouth rinses that can be purchased over-the. counter. I Editorial Fluoridation: Why is it not more widely adopted? Richard James Musto, MD, CCFP :;i C onlrolled fluoridation of communal water has been called one of the four greatest mass preventive health measures of all time.' It has been endorsed by all major national medical and dental associations in North America and Europe, including the Canadian Medical Asso- ciation, in 1954. Opinion polls in Canada''> and the United States' have regularly shown that most people who have heard of fluoridation consider it to be a good measure . Yet, since 1973 in Canada more communities have discontinued than have adopted fluondation,' and in the United States between 1977 and 1980 fully 80% of fluoridation referenda were defeated.' In 1980 only 46% of the Canadian population with public water supplies received the benefits of optimally fluoridated wa- ter;' the US figure for 1982 was a little better, at 67%.' ~ Why has fluoridation remained so controversial? All of the four major mass preventive measures - vaccination, water purification, milk pasteurization and fluoridation - have experienced a period of controversy. Yet, while a small portion of the population continues to oppose some or all of them, only fluoridation has failed to move beyond this period to general acceptance. One explanation has been that unlike the other measures, which are directed against contagious or fatal diseases, fluoridation offers only protection from dental decay, a noncontagious, nonfatal and, some would say, merely personal cosmetic prob- lem.' Several authors cite a variety of recent societal trends that have helped keep the issue alive: public awareness of political processes has increased; concern about environmental contaminants has become widespread, finding expression especially as a fear of environmentally induced cancers; assertion of individuality and freedom of choice is being reaffmned as a social norm; and the public is sceptical of the ability or willingness of govern- R~ptint ~uests to: Dr. Richard James Musto, 600-275 Portage A ~_ Winnipeg..

All these factors have served to sensitize the public and provide the antifluoridationists with fertile ground on which to spread their message. The Consumer Health Organization of Canada and its US parent society, the National Health Federation, were early antifluoridation leaders. "Dedicated to the protection of health freedom"," these groups have actively opposed all the mass preventive measures and have enjoyed considera- ble success in waging politically sophisticated and effective antifluoridation campaigns. A newly formed group, the Centre for Health Action, may assume the lead in the future." The findings of recent surveys in Canada (Calgary Health Services: personal communication, 1985), the United States" and the United King- dom" agree with the observation from earlier, though somewhat flawea, studies'.' that increasing age, lower income and education levels, and ab- sence of young children in the home all are associated with a negative attitude toward fluori- dation. Such generalizations should be interpreted with caution, however, and local promotional ac- tivity ideally should be based on careful determi- nation of the attitudes prevailing in one's own community. The antifluoridationists' arguments The first large-scale confrontation over fluori- dation and defeat of proposed fluoridation in a referendum occurred in Wisconsin in 1950.' Three main objections emerged then and persist today, with various refinements." rust, the efficacy of fluoridation in preventing caries is questioned. The antifluoridationists challenge the validity of the studies that report a preventive effect, claiming selectivity of reporting and inadequate statistical controls. This is an effective tactic since similar arguments are used by the profluoridationists to refute claims of harmful effects. The debate takes on the appearance of a disagreement between scientists, each side tainted by an apparent lack of objectivity. 2 CMAI. VOL 137. OCTOBER IS. 1987 I I The second objection is that fluoride may be harmful. The science director 01 the National Health Federation published a report in ] 975 based on crude death rates in which it was claimed that residents 01 cities with fluoridated water experienced an excess of deaths (rom cancer. IS Subsequent examination 01 these data by other scientists, with adjustment for age, sex and race, showed that there was no difference in the rates 01 death Irom cancer." The Canadian Environmental Health Directorate 01 the Department 01 National Health and Welfare examined similar data in Canada and reached the same conclusion." Never- theless. the claim remains a potent component 01 the antifluoridationists' armamentarium and has stimulated debate in a number 01 government assemblies, including some provincial legislatures, the US Congress and a variety 01 European parlia- ments." The claim of carcinogenesis also lormed an important part 01 the so-called Quebec Report 011977," which contributed to the Quebec govern- ment's decision to retreat from its policy 01 manda- tory fluoridation. Clemmesen'. provided a compre- hensive review 01 the cancer issue. Similarly, claims 01 increased rates 01 Down's syndrome, congenital malformations and thyroid disease have been advanced and have been chal- lenged on methodologic grounds."'" The third argument is primarily philosophic. The antifluoridationists charge that fluoridation is in lact forced mass medication and thus contra- venes a person's right to determine what shall be done to his or her own body. Further, they say that it interferes with the physician-patient relation- ship.13 In Ontario a committee appointed to inves- tigate and report on fluoridation dismissed these arguments and concluded that "the fluoridation 01 municipal supplies would not be a denial of any lundamental or basic civil right or liberty which the Legislature in its wisdom should seek to preserve"." Similar judgements have been handed down in the United States' and abroad." Never- theless, the civil liberties issue remains a significant stumbIirig block. Rozovsky and Rozovsky have discussed the legal perspective on this issue." I ! II. II I. I II I j. ~ I . I I .. I II I- I I Role of the media The mass media serve as a major source of inlormation about fluoridation to the public."" Two small studies in British Columbia showed that a regular newspaper column on dental health can improve readers' knowledge 01 preventive measures;"">' however, no connection was made to either attitudes about fluoridation or outcome of relerenda on the issue. . The effect of the media likely depends on the stage of the fluoridation controversy. Early on, the media may influence the decision to submit the question to a public vote." During the course of a campaign, selective reporting of the more conten- tious issues raised can serve to draw attention away from such issues as dental protection and the 706 CMAJ. VOL. 137. OCTOBER ]5. 1987 Appendix 1 Pg. 2 well.being of children. This eflect. thought bv 0,," analyst to have been a lactor in Vancou';er in ]968," has not yet been thoroughly studied. but it seems to be widely feared by profluoridationists, so much so that several writers have advised avoidance 01 public debate and public service announcements.f1.1DO On the other hand, emphasis has been placed on the value 01 skilful use of the media,)l.J~ and editorial endorsement has been considered to be "virtually an essential ingredient lor proponent success".' Role 01 the community's political structure and process The first and most striking lact that emerges Irom any review of fluoridation is that when the question is put to the people, the outcome is negative considerably more olten than not. Partic- ularly in the United States, many, il not most, 01 the large gains have been made through adminis- trative order. Several states have compulsory fluoridation laws. In Canada, only Quebec has enacted such a law, in 1975. However, because 01 strong opposition from the Quebec Ministry of the Environment and such people as the lormer Mayor 01 Montreal, Jean Drapeau. the government has not enforced the article that mandates fluoridation. All the other provinces except Alberta allow com- munities to choose between fluoridation by admin- istrative decision and a referendum. Alberta re- quires a plebiscite to be held, with a simple majority sufficing to decide the outcome. Given that a community has the power to choose between two options, what factors influ- ence the choice? Communities with centralized decision-making authorities usually do not consid- er fluoridation, but when they do, they adopt it. '~3 The explanation offered is that when power is concentrated, unpopular issues may be effectively suppressed. '~3 On the other hand, if a strong administration is favourably disposed toward fluoridation, it can order it without recourse to a public vote. The importance of a favourable stance by the mayor has been emphasized. U< Two hypotheses on individual voting behavi- our have been articulated. The first, known as the alienation hypothesis, is based on early surveys 01 voters' attitudes and involves a constellation 01 negative attitudes toward science and government authority, plus leelings of social and political deprivation -.in short, alienation lrom mainstream society,3S.A negative vote is thus interpreted as an act of moral resistance.' Although the evidence in support of this hypothesis is weak. a variation of this theme was evoked as late as 1972 by Warner>' in his analysis of Vancouver's experience: he interpreted the negative vote as being a reaction to a perceived profluoridation power bloc. An alternative explanation is that it is not alienation but conlusion that causes voters to shift in attitude.' To begin with, even people who initially express support lor fluoridation may mis- 33 understand its purpose (some confuse it with chlorination for water purification). Except during a referendum, there is little communication about fluoride, even from health care professionals. Dur- ing referendum campaigns professional arrogance may inhibit effective communication if proponents act as though there is no legitimate opposition to fluoridation.)fd1 Suspicions are thus raised in vot- ers socialized to expect two sides to an argument. When a debate does occur, voters are faced with an apparent controversy they may previously have been unaware 01. Unable to determine the relative merits of the arguments on their own, they choose the safest option, maintenance of the status quo, secure in the knowledge that the "experiment" will be continued elsewhere. There is some support for the idea that when faced with the arguments about fluoridation even when there is no referendum, undecided people tend to change to a negative position." It seems that in the political context, at least, the case against fluoridation is more persuasive than the case for it. Implications for the future .' .. Clearly, there is no one simple explanation for the resistance to fluoridation, but certain themes run through these analyses, providing lessons that may be helpful in the future. Perhaps most impor- tant, fluoridation has ceased to be simply an issue of disease prevention. It is now inescapably a political one. This will be clear to veterans of past campaigns, but it may not be to those who are recruited for a new campaign. An effort must be made to help them understand this so that they may be prepared for the storm to follow. The . political nature of fluoridation also dic- tates that proponents must be patient. If an initial assessment of one's community reveals a nonsup- portive mayor and a record of strong media op- position, plus perhaps some other community factor causing elected officials to shy away from such a controversial issue at election time, it may be wise to wait for more favourable waters. A survey of community attitudes toward fluoridation or, perhaps more generally, preventive health practices can be helpful in gauging the most opportune time for action as well as in identifying target groups for promotional efforts. The active support of all health care agencies and professional associations in the community is essential to success. but it may be that the leader- ship should be assumed by a separate group fonned specifically for the pwpose. Much of the expertise and groundwork leading up to a cam- paign will of necessity be provided by a profes- sional group such as the local public health author- ity, but come campaign time this group should be seen as a supporter, not as an instigator or part of any power bloc. GviJ liberties and efficacy are certain to be foremost among the issues debated. [t will be Appendix 1 Pg. 3 I interesting to see ......hether Canada's new Charter of Rights and Freedoms invites a COurt challenge to flUOridation. although It would likely have little local effect other than to divert attention during a campaign. In any case, the complaint of an in- fringement of civil liberties or personal freedom cannot he fruitfully debated. No argument is likely to change such a belief; proponents must instead concentrate on selling the benefits of fluoridation as worth any bit of freedom that may be surren- dered. The discussion of efficacy will no doubt in- clude the observation that the incidence of dental caries is decreasing even in areas without fluorida- tion.'~' Thus, the additional benefit from fluorida- tion of municipal water supplies will surely be less than the 40% to 50% reduction in caries experi- enced in the early years.'.'" The b~nefit is likely to be proportionately greater for groups who un- deruse preventive dental services, for whatever reasons, and if these groups can be identified, this can be another selling poin t. Care must be taken to avoid overstating the case, but proponents may want to broaden their focus from dental benefits for children to health benefits for all age groups." Similarly, proponents should closely watch the literature on osteoporosis so that if the evidence for a positive effect from fluoridation becomes stronger, it may be incorpo- ra ted in promotional efforts. Fluoridation of communal water remains a controversial and underused disease prevention measure in many parts of Canada. Referenda on its expanded use (or even its continued use) will continue to be held for several years. Individual practitioners can have a positive effect by fIrst familiarizing themselves .with the issues!.I8." and then sharing information, clarifying and addressing concerns, and showing support in their contacts with patients. The media are not going to be displaced as a major source of health information, nor is that necessarily desirable. However, health care professionals have the responsibility of help- ing their clients sift through it all, so that the correct information can be incorporated into more healthful practices.

I would like to invite your community to participate in this important event. During Emergency Preparedness Week, many communities in virtually all the provinces and territories will be participating in activities aimed at increasing awareness of emergency preparedness. The slogan for Emergency Preparedness Week '97 is: "Can it happen here? Know the risks in your community." While many people know about emergencies that can happen in other parts of the world, they are often unaware of risks in their own backyard. Knowing the risks you face is the first step to being prepared. To make Emergency Preparedness Week a success in your community, it is important to involve some key groups. The support of local first responders, such as fire, police and ambulance, as well as schools and local media is important. These groups should be made aware that Emergency Preparedness Week is the first week of May and encouraged to plan activities to support it. Although Emergency Preparedness Week is only a few weeks away the activities undertaken in your community do not need to be time or labour intensive. Choose events that you feel will best promote the week, according to the resources available. You need not undertake all the activities listed here to have a successful Emergency Preparedness Week -- and if you have other ideas about promoting preparedness activities - by all means, try them out! To assist in the launch of Emergency Preparedness Week '97 in your community, a resource kit has been assembled. It includes: . A sample news release with a fill-in-the-blanks risk checklist . Fact sheets on tornadoes and floods · Copies of the "Emergency Preparedness Week 1997" poster .../2 Head of Council Page two As the local head of council we encourage you to proclaim Emergency Preparedness Week and ask people in your community to identifY risks. Local media can be invited to this event and encouraged to write stories on local risks. Fact sheets on emergencies can also be photocopied and made available to the public and local media. Posters can be displayed in "high traffic" areas, places such as libraries, community centres, municipal offices, hospitals, health clinics. etc. (For additional copies of the poster, please contact the Emergency Measures office listed below.) Other activities that can help make your Emergency Preparedness Week a success include: . Announcements in local papers and on radio and television . Displays in shopping centres . Tying Emergency Preparedness Week to other community events already scheduled in early May . Displaying banners reading "Emergency Preparedness Week" . Encouraging schools to promote emergency preparedness in the classroom One of the highlights of Emergency Preparedness Week '97 will be the announcement ofa drawing contest (see information attached). Geared toward students in grades 4-6, the contest will be officially launched during Emergency Preparedness Week, when contest rules and information will.be distributed to schools across the country. Students will be invited to submit a drawing depicting natural or human-caused emergencies (i.e. severe weather events, train derailments, forest fires, chemical spills, etc.) that could occur in their community or region. A first place winner will be selected in each province and territory. First, second and third-place Ontario winners will receive framed copies of their drawings. The first place winner will travel to Toronto to receive their prize. In addition, the federal government will award each first place winner a trip for two to Ottawa, where a national winner will be selected. The national winner will have their illustration featured on the 1998 Emergency Preparedness Week poster. I encourage you to promote the drawing contest within the schools in your area. Emergency preparedness is everyone's responsibility. I believe that if communities participate in some of the suggested Emergency Preparedness Week activities, individuals will become more aware of the risks they face in their communities, and the overall levels of preparedness will be increased from coast-to-coast. I hope that your community will participate in the 1997 Emergency Preparedness Week and that it proves to be a successful and productive experience! .../3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ,I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Head of Council Page three For more information on Emergency Preparedness Week, please contact the Emergency Measures Ontario office nearest you: Emergency Measures Ontario 25 Grosvenor Street, 19th Floor Toronto ON M7A lY6 Tel: (416) 314-3723 Emergency Measures Ontario Northeastern Area 199 Larch Street, Suite 100 I Sudbury ON P3E 5P9 Tel: (705) 564-4474 Emergency Measures Ontario Southwestern Area 148 York Street, Suite 315 London ON N6A IA9 Tel: (519) 679-7055 Emergency Measures Ontario Northwestern Area 640 Mountdale Avenue Thunder Bay ON P7E 6G8 Tel: (807) 473-3191 Emergency Measures Ontario Southeastern Area 1055 Princess Street, Suite 404 Kingston ON K7L lID Tel: (613) 545-4590 ;........------ !,~IST~U.Tlc)ri~f 7 ~i.~RK IV I : --. ----.., ~,'::: Gr _.___ .

They can cause tremendous destruc- tion with wind speeds of up to 500km/h or more. We're talking about tornadoes, and in an average year in Canada, 80 tornadoes cause two deaths and 20 injuries, and tens of millions of dollars in property damage. Although we can't do anything to prevent a tornado, we can certainly be prepared! IT's UP To You! Despite advance warning, some people are unprepared for a tornado. Some did not hear the warning while others received the warning but did not believe a tornado would actually affect them. It's up to you. You can prepare by having a plan in place long before the tornado hits. You must make the decision to seek shelter before the storm arrives. It could bethe most important decision you will ever make. WARNING SIGNALS THAT A TORNADO MAY BE NEAR A severe thunderstorm is the driving force behind a tornado. Hot, humid weather combined with a cold front could be a sign that a tornado is brewing, and a funnel cloud hanging from a dark cloud may be visible before the tornado actually occurs. A tornado may be accompanied by lightning, high winds, and hail. Stay tuned to your local TV and radio stations for updated stonninformation especially when weather conditions are right for generating atornado. As well, it's important to know the difference between a tornado watch and a warning ~ Tornado Watch: a tornado is possible in your area and you should be on alert. ~ Tornado Warning: a tornado has been sighted and may be headed for your area; take safety precautions immediately. WHERE To TAKE COVER AND OTHER PRECAUTIONS · Knowyour local emergency numbers. · Ifpossible, takeshelterimmediately. · When swimming or boating, head to shore atthe first sign ofa stonn. · Stay away from windows, doors and exterior walls. · In a house. go to the basement and stay under the stairway or a sturdy work table. · lfthe house has no basement, stay on the ground floor in a hallway. small room, closet, or bathroom located in the centre ofthe house. · In a high rise building, stay out of elevators, move to lower levels, and seek shelterin a small interior room. · In a vehicle. if time permits, drive away from the funnel cloud at a right angle. · In a mobile home, leave and take shelter in astrudy structure. · If shelter cannot be found, protect your head with your arms and find safetyina ditch, ravine, culvert oran overpass ASSEMBLE AN EMERGENCY KIT ~ A basic emergency kit should include: · a five-day supply per person of canned, packaged or non-perishable food items and water · special medications or foods family members may require (prescription drugs, or food for special diets) . a solar or battery-powered radio · a flasWight with spare batteries · a first aid kit and manual . a fire extinguisher . waterproofmatches, candles and a tin can. , AFTER THE EVENT... ~ If your home or family is affected by the tornado, you should: · monitor local media reports for advice and to find out where assistance is available . checkforgasleaksinyourhome.Ifyousmellgas, - immediately open windows and doors - turn off the main gas valve -leave the house (post a note statingyour whereabouts) - go to another location and notify the gas company, police orfire department. · check for blown fuses and look for short circuits in your home wiring, and . equipment -- if a problem exists, call your utility company · drive carefully and watch for debris, damaged bridges/roads and dangling wires . report any emergency situations to the local police or fire department . notify your insurance agent or broker if your property is damaged . check with your local government if you need counselling to help you cope with the emotional trauma associated with disasters. TORNADO ~ MYTHS Contrary to popular belief: · areas near rivers, lakes. and mountains are NOT safe from tornadoes. . the low pressure with a tornado does NOT cause buildings to "explode" as the tornado passes overhead. . windows do NOT equalize pressure and minimize damage. . you're NOT safe if you 're downtown.

AllAJt. governments work to reduce the chance of floods, but the first line of defence f1!I, is the individual. Each of us has a responsibility to protect our homes and \IiiW families to the greatest extent possible. By planning ahead and taking sensible rA precautions. you can do your part to minimize flood damage. ~ i~h tI AT WORK FOR You Through radio and TV, local govemmentsdo their bestto keep residents of areas likely to be affected well informed, When flooding is imminent or has occurred, detailed instructions by municipal or provincial authorities will be given as the need arises. BE PREPARED FOR FLOODING Home owners, renters and businesses can take the following precautions to help prevent orlessen the effects of flooding: & Ifnecessary, have a professional inspectyourroofforexcessivesnowloads. & Check your sump pump to see ifit' s working. & Check to see if your eavestroughs, culverts and drainage ditches are clear. 4; Review your insurance policy to ensure you are adequately covered. Make sure you have sewer back-up insurance, IF YOU'RE AT RISK When authorities have advised you that flooding is imminent. take precautions to ensure that you, yourfamiJy and property are protected. /) Make sure your battery radio is in working order and listen to local instructions. & Have emergency food, water and medical supplies on hand. & Move furniture, electrical appliances, livestock, equipment and otherbelongings to higher levels. & Remove or seal hazardous products like weed killers or insecticides. & Remove toilet bowl and plug basement sewer drains and toilet connection. . Disconnect eavestroughsiftheyare connected to the house sewer. 6 Have sandbags ready to use. & If driving, drive with caution; if your vehicle stalls, abandon your vehicle. Many people have been trapped by rising water. EVACUATION If you are ad vised by the authorities to evacuate your home, then do so. Ignoring the warning could jeopardize the safety of your family or those that might have to rescue you. Beforeyou leave, turn off the power and gas. When you leave, take with you: ~ battery powered radio, flashlight and spare batteries IJ warm clothing, waterproofclothing, and blankets IJ valuables like photo albums, home videos, etc. . essential medicines, and as many emergency supplies asyou can $ identification for each member of your family & personal and family documents ON THE ROAD... $; Travel very carefully, and only ifabsolutely necessary through flooded areas. Roads may be washed away or covered with water. If you come across a barricade or a flooded road, take a different route. d) Keep listening to the radio orTV for information. $; Emergency workers will be busy assisting people in flooded areas. Help them by staying out ofthe way. iii If you must walk or drive in a flooded area, make sure you are on firm ground. d'l Watch out for power lines that are down. ; j"~ RETURNING HOME Care should be taken when re-enteringyour home.

Concession 1. former Newcastle We would like to express our strong opposition to the proposed zoning change to the parcel of land located in part lot 28, concession I, former Newcastle. We are the owners/residents of 45 Clarke Street, Newcastle, and as such we feel that the present zoning is more compatible with the properties already along the north side of Clarke and the west side of Baldwin Streets. The houses already in this area are situated on large lots with a minimum size of 60 feet, some with frontages in excess of 100 feet. The zoning as it stands for the development in question is compatible with the existing zoning. Reducing the minimum lot size as requested in the proposed change would result in a radically different type of neighbourhood and would serve no purpose aside from increasing the profit of the developer, The Katlin Group. We moved into the area with the knowledge that there would eventually be development on the property in question, however we were assured by the planning committee that the development would not alter the nature and character of the neighbourhood (i.e. that the lot size would remain compatible with current development). We chose this area to live in specifically because of its beauty and spaciousness. The current trend of development to squeeze as many dwellings in as little space as possible :f!altered the character of a large portion of the Municipality of Clarington.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists reported a close correlation between decreasing total fertility rates in women between ages of 10 and 49, and increasing fluoride levels. They also reported that a review of all of the animal studies done to date shows that fluoride adversely affects fertility in most animal species.6 4. Opaque white spots and brown ul:ly teeth caused hy fluoride is called Fluorosis. Fluorosis currently affects one out of five or more children in this nation although it is rarely seen in California.

Decay is related to the educational and economic level ()r the parents.12 13 14 6. The FDA considers nuoride an unapproved new drug ror which there is no proor or sarety or effectiveness. The FDA does not consider nuoride an essential nutrient. 7. The International Academy or Oral Medicine and Toxicology has classified Fluoride as an unapproved dental medicament due to its high toxicity. 8.

It is impossible to consistently supply any medication through the drinking water. People are very unique in their sensitivity to drugs and resent being medicated without their consent. Adding fluoride to drinking water invariably leads to uncontroUed rnndom dosages. Infunts and adults who drink more bevernges will be overdosed.

Excessive fluoride accumulates in the biosphere and results in ever increasing levels in soil, food and water. Beverages such as grape juice may have 6.8 ppm.

Fluoride has repeatedly been shown to be a carcinogen in cell cultures, animals and humans. In 1956 Dr. John Chaffey. a pmfessorof clinical pediatrics at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, noted cortical detects in the bone X-I"dYS of 13.5% of the children living in fluoridated Newburgh, compared to only 7.5% in the neighboring nonfluoridated Kingston. He also noted the lesions were strikingly similar to osteosarcoma. Studies have now confirmed a dramatic increase in osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in young males exposed to tluoride during growth of the bones and a 5 % increase in all types or c.'mcers in fluoridated communities. _.~......_._V_._._~.~'""N.._W~^W;: ;;,,' ::::i-,;:;~~8! 5) Fluoridation does not reduce tooth decay. Adding tluoride to drinking water has not been shown to be effective in reducing tooth decay. In blinded animal studies there was no correlation to the amount of fluoride and tooth decay. In the human populations fluoridation was not effective in reducing tooth decay. In fact, tooth decay has decreased more in some Ilollfluoridated communities than in fluoridated ones.

According to the National Research Council fluorosis affects 8 to 51 % and sometimes as many as 80% of the children growing up in areas where drinking water contains one part per million (1 ppm) fluoride. Fluoride also can have a deleterious effect on bone growth and cause premature joint and Iigamen t aging. The visible damage to tooth surfaces results in mottled, brittle teeth thar are prone to fracture and may cost many thousands of dollars to cosmeri"a Ily repair. 7) Fluoridation is very expensive. There are enormous health care costs associated with injury from fluoridation. Adverse health affects include; hip ftacture.joint and ligament calcification, bone cancers, other cancers, allergy, accidental poisonings and death. The cost of a hip replacement alone is over $35,000 in California. There is a 25% mortality associated with this adverse health effect of fluoridation. ,::'''o;:""~~~:.:'.,c...,,,.. ,,"- pj-i:'1.':~tlti~)~ J..XmtalH;e.rt!tl.. ...~odaton 1 ;t:~off;e~g~J I I I I I I I I II I I II i I I II , ,j ,I II I. i . c_~ _"_ 'f;:.~:,~.:<~~~l:.~ul!;~l;~y{1,~i ~ ~~;~":, .

Part 2 of 4 SEVEN MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH FLUORIDATION I ;>> )o.~ The effect of any medication (poison or drug) is proportional to the weight of the individual. Since bottle fud babies are on an all liquid diet they will be dosed the most fluoride. An infimt drinking 32 ounces of liquid a day would receive a daily dose more than 1 mg. There is wide variation in the amount of water we consumed. It changes from individual to individual. winter to summer. hot to cool climates, lifestyles sedentaIy ver.ms energetic and with age. I % of the population consume over 5litelS of water per day. I I I I I I I 1) Uncontrolled random dosages. It is impossible to consistently supply any medication through the drinking water. People are very unique in their sensitivity to drugs and resent being medicated without their consent. Adding fluoride to drinking water invariahly leads to uncontrolled random dosages. Infitnts and adults who drink more beverages will be overdosed. There are many well documented scientifically verified negative side-effects from exposure to fluoride. There i, also wide variation in the level of fluoride found in our food and in the water. TIle tluoride at the faucet may vary from .1 ppm to as high as 4 ppm acconling to the EPA mean contaminant levels. Excessive fluoride in the water from accidental overfeed has poisoned literally thousands of people and recently killed a Native American in Alaska. 1 A disease known as diabetes insipidus causes the victim to drink massive amounts of water every day. Kidney dialysis patients have died from undergoing dialysis with fluoridated . . 0 CIty \V"dter. - Malnourished and minority children are most susceptible to dental fluorosis.3 The athlete ,)f physical laborer who drink large quantities of water will obviously be dosed with far more fluoride than the elderly. Infants, due to their small body weight and total dependence on fluid nourishment, will recei ve a proportionately larger dose than the adult. The fact that human hreast milk is relatively low in fluoride should be some indicatiolL~ of what nor creator had in mind for the haby. Infants fed on formula prepared from tap \V"dter are at the greatest risk. FDA scientist have reported that fluoride in the drinking water adversely affects fertility rates in women. They found a very close conelati"n between decreasing fertility lates in women between ages 10 to 49, and inereas ing fluoride levels. They also reported that a review of all of the animal :<rudies done to date shows that fluoride affects fertility in most other I I I I I I I I I I I II I I I I !I t, II ~ ! ~ I :, il ! II animal species as well.4 r~~ct'-~~~E~:~;l_;;r~~:.:~~J 2) No margin for safety exists since increased hip fractures and osteosclerosis are scientifically associated with water fluoridation. The pmponents of fluoridation admit the relatively narrow rnnge between the claimed "therapeutic" dental dose and the onset of toxicity. In several countries severe skeletal nuorosis has been documented from water containing 0.7 parts per million (ppm).5 In medicine we generally insist ona therapeutic index (margin ofsafuty) along the order of 100. A therapeutic index as low a~ zero is simply unacceptable. The latest resean:h fium France on the hip fracture issue found that, "The risk of hip fracture was significantly higher when water fluorine concentration was higher than 0.11 mgIL ".6 (0.11 ppm) Several studies have round that nuolide inhibits broken bone healing and contributes to damage rrom osteoporosis and abnormal collagen rormation.7 Dr. Iennifer Iowsey. one of the originatolli of the theol)' that fluoride might help osteoporosis, admitted that fluoride was producing osteoporosis in some bones and at the same time osteosclerosis in othelli.8 (abnormal and weak bone fonnation) Dr.I.C. Robins has also noted this deleterious effect 9 DIli. Aksyuk and Bulychev found that the consumption of as little as 1.6 ppm water caused premature aging in the bones of 15-16 year old girls, as well as calcification of the interusseous membranes and irregular bone formation. 10 Remember earlier that I explained that fluoride caused the amelobIasts to lay down irregular enamel k seems clear that at the same dose level where fluorosis occurs. the osteobIasts also produce abnormal bone growth. These errects may have a delayed response which is not seen until the sixth or seventh decade or lire. In 1990 a large national survey of hip fracture rates published in the lournal of the American Medical Association found a dramatic link between nuoridated water and the rrequency or hip rracture.l1 This study closely followed a report in the New England Iournal of Medicine which found that attempts to treat osteoporosis with fluoride actually increased the disease and resulted in increased bone fractures.12 [f?p c"TMi$P"lIJ$! [R~<JrtjtlJ$'J!1imi;t\'1 3) Fluoride Intake Is Already Excessive. . . Children fed "home cooked" foods and formula made with fluoridated water will grossly be overdosed. In 1949 the United States Public Health SelVice resean:her F.I. McClure reported that the dietary fluoride intake averaged only 0.2- 0.3 mglday.13fn 1969 a study by H. Spencer, M.D. found adults in the Chicago area consumed 3.57 to 5.37 mglday.14 Evel)'one agrees that this amount is excessive. The FDA ruled in 1989 that Fluoride is not a required nutrient since deficiency t1i!leaSeS cannot be produced. Fluoride has been added to the drinking water of 50% of this nation for almost five decades. Every processed rood product or beverage prepared in a nuoridated community contains nuoride. It is simply impossible to avoid this toxic waste substance Few children eat an aver<lge amount of anything. It is not the average child that is at risk here. Those unfortunate infunts subjected to home cooking are at the I greatest risk. It is also the hypernensitive child who is the prime target of this toxic suhstance, as well as children who consume more than average amounts of wdter. Infdnt, who consume water based fonnulas and processed chicken are clearly at risk as shown by the data from recent nutritional studies. IS Glen S. R.Walker wrote, "An average six month old baby weighing 16 to 20 pound, should consume 2 1/2 ounces of milk per pound body weight per day, making the weight of its daily milk between 40 to 50 ounces. If a powdered milk Cormula is used and prepared with fluoridated water, the inCant will consume, ['rom water alone, well over 1 milligram per day. this is Cour times the maximum recommended in 1977, by the U.S. Council on DentaI1l1empeutics." 16 I milligram per day for an adult with an average weight of 160 LB is the "recommended level" and equates to 1/8 of a milligram per day for an infdnt weighing 20 pounds. It is irresponsible Cor dentists and public health officials to advoCJ.lte the addition 01' a toxic substance to the community water supply without absolute proof of safety. Since volwninous data already exists indicating fluoride is not a benign substance. and is in fact one of the more toxic substances known to mankind the proof of salety must be able to withstand the most rigorous scientific inspection. The fact is that having a community water supply di'pense a toxic substance will ovenlose many of the children I I I I I I I -.'~""""'.~'-~.. ~ -lor: .i~;~;{7"gr 11.,.",lJti)tcSlltnmilrYI !-...............,;.--- -~ 4) Fluoride is a Carcinogen. In 1977 Burk and Yiamouyiannis reported a higher rate of cancer in a broad ten year epidemiological study of fluoridated versus non- fluoridated communities. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) claimed to have found no significant increases. During L. H. Fountain's congressional investigations of fluoridation the NCI Director. Arthur Kraybill, admitted making false representations and numerical errors in their studies. When these US PHS studies were corrected for the NCI "math" errors, they too showed a 5% increase in cancer mortality in the fluoridated communities.17 There are numerous laboratory and epidemiological studies which support our concern for the toxicity 01' this material,18 It is significant that the bone fluoride levels of the high-fdnge were approximately the same as found in humans who live 15-20 years in a fluoridated community. I I I I I I I I I I I During the Fountain Congressional Hearings of 1977 the NCl admitted that they had relied upon no scientific data, whatsoever, when they clainll'd 2S years earlier that fluoride would be safe to add to the community water supplies. As a direct result of these hearings independent testing was onlered to begin immediately. Twelve years later they managed to produce a two year toxicological study of rats. They paid Battelle Resean:h Institute of Columbus Ohio, an outside contractor, to run the study. The Battelle Study Battelle t()und a vel)' positive correlation to the amount of fluoride consumed and the size. number and kind of cancer the mice developed. 19 The study lan for only two years or about the life span of the animals. The animals were awash with illness and abnonnalities of all kinds including kidney disease, liver disease, blood dio;eases, tumors, and cancer. In particular the fluoride groups showed thyroid adenomas, dysplasias of the oral mucosa. liver cancer of a vel)' rare type (hepato...-ho langiocarcinomas). and osteosarcomas of which one appeared in the mid-r.mge male rat and four appeared in high-range male fdts. Female rats exhibited dose-related osteosclerosis and all fluoridated rodents developed dental fluorosis. I I I I - I I II ~ ~ II I II , ,. I II I I 1'1 I- i I Thus. the tissue levels of the highest dose tested were. in fact, no different than what hu mans will experience. I can recall no other carcinogen test where short lived animals were exposed to exactly the same level as humans. Political Manipulation of the Battelle Study The lindings of the Battelle study where in direct contmdiction to the frequently published claims of absolute safety. In an attempt to defuse this politically embarrassing bomb shell the US PHS ananged a pro-fluoride committee to rev iew the research. The peer review committee was given an incomplete and drastically modified sumtnaIy of the data. In the report they received, every tumor was downgraded at least one level. One tumor, the largest osteosarcoma, was eliminated entirely. The hepatochoIangiocarcinomas which by itself was a significant finding was reduced to a hepatoma. Dr. Mel Reuber Opposes The Manipulative Downgrading Dr. Mel Reuber, the pathologist credited with first diagnosing this unusual lesion, reviewed the pathology slides and stated that he disagreed with the down grading. He stated that his independent review of the pathology slides from the Battelle study showed without a doubt that the lesions were in fuel hepatocho langiocan:inomas. Others tumors were dismissed through what was termed .historical controls.. This type of statistical manipulation is not considered by the scientific COmmunity as a valid scientific approach. The National Toxicological Program (NTP) committee used the tumor data from control animals in other unrelated studies where the intake of fluoride was not strictly controlled. The fuel that some of the control rats also developed similar cancers, was used as justification for the elimination of many of the cancers from the Battelle study. This approach was not valid since the "historical controls" were animal. from other studies where their feed contained significant quantities of fluoride. Their actuaI dose fell between the low and mid-range dose anim.l. of the Ballclle study. The tumor incidence they experienced agreed with the predicted incidence from the Battelle study. The committee was not informed that the .control animals". fed commen:ially processed rat chow, had received a higher dose of fluoride than the low dose animals in the Battelle study. Dr. William Marcus Opposes The Manipulative Downgrading Dr. William Man:us, senior scientist for the Environmental Protection Agency Water Quality Division, speaking before the Chemical and F.Ilgineering Society stated that in his 20 years at the EP A he had never seen a study where every finding had been significantly downgraded in this manner.. His review of the data showed an unusually clear straight line correlating between the dose of fluoride and type and number of tumors developed, including the historical controls. Furthennore. he stated that it is unprecedented for an animal study of a potential carcinogen to be conducted at the same dosage level as Iwmans. In his opinion the findings were grossly manipulated. 20 Despite all of these manipulations the study was found to show evidence of carcinogenicity and fluoride was ruled an equivocal carcinogen. !

COOL) Part 3 or 4 Conclusion: The Manipulation of Science I I I I I ~~ Throughout this paper I presented the evidence I believe clearly indicates that scientific fraud has been employed in order to support the disposal of this toxic substance in public water supplies. There is no question that fluoride is a toxic substance which readily enter.l the body and has a wide range of systemic effects. There are real questions of whether or not it has any benefit in reducing tooth decay. Safety First First and foremost is the issue of safety. Since some people drink excessive amounts of water the extreme example must be used in the calculation of drinking water safety. The average child cannot be used. Furthermore, it is known that tooth decay will not result unless the diet is rich in refined foods and carbohydrates.34 35 What is of even greater concern is the daily consumption of a known toxic substance for which there is no proof of safety. Political Pressure From Manufacturers Our cescanoh institutions have become pmstituted by the huge financial grants I I I I I I I I I On numenlUS occasions, those responsible for the safety of our water have bowed to pol itical pressure and abdicated that responsibility. The majority of developed nations have chosen to not fluoridate their water supply. Fluoride is a toxic waste by-product of phosphate fertilizer production and aluminum manufdcturing. Consequently, the United States is one of the major producers of this hazardous waste and, it would be more costly to dispose as a hazardous waste.These companies have found it far cheaper to support .scientific research" into the benefits of consuming hazardous waste and sell it to the cities as a health product than to dispose of this material properly. Research Funds Are Diverted When scientific research results that do not support the use of fluoride are reported. the research funds are immediately withdrawn and no further report is issue. For example, when Dr. Feltmans conducted a study of prenatal and postnat'dl tluoride consumption which was fInanced by a US PHS grant. His preliminary findings not only fuiled to confirm the fluoridation thesis but indicated probable ill effects to a significant percentage of the population because of allergy to fluorides. 36100 funds to continue the &tudy were inunediately withdrawn. That is what I mean when I speak of the manipulation of science. Fluoride Will Not Pass ,I ~ II I . I furnished by companies with but one goal. Our political system is enslaved by their addiction to the PAC funds available from industries with excess hazardous waste. We owe ourselves more then to become the willing puppets of these industrial WdSte genemtolS. We must scientifically research very carefully the unusual claim about any toxic material be added to eVeIyone's daily diet We must be certain not only of its benefits but also for its absolute safety for everyone. If a product fails to pass the minimum NTP specification for biocompatibility tests then I for one, will refuse to recommend that it be used. FLUORIDE WILL NOT PASS. It is, according to the U.S. NTP an equivocal carcinogen Other research finds it clearly a carcinogen. "In point of fuct, fluoride causes more hwnan cancer death, and causes it fuster, than any other chemical." 37 I urge you to consider carefully the effect our decision will have on future genemtions. Tooth decay is preventable with current technology. Cancer. hip fracture, and osteoporosis are not I 11 , I II II , i. . ;1 II i j'l I II I ,.

It is very important here to examine more particularly the data and attendant implications that this decline has for the selective utilization of fissure sealants. Since there is little appropriate Canadian data available, other probably very similar data from the United States must often be used. Individuals and Teeth Free of Decav As stressed in the introductory chapters, the overall decline in dental caries prevalence in Canadian children has been about 33-50 per cent during the past 15 years Or so. One major characteristic of this decline is the growing number of children at each age who are now free of present or past decay experience (i.e, deft and/or DMFr=O). For example, in Ontario in 1981/82, the per cent of chiJdren free of decay on their permanent teeth for ages 7, 9, 11 and 13 years was about 77%, 50%, 33% and 22% respecively.3 In British Columbia in 1980, just over 30 per cent of nine year-olds and 10 per cent of 13 year-olds were free of permanent tooth decay, and in the 1982 survey in the four Atlantic provinces, these figures were about 21 per cent for the 6-7 year-olds and 7 per cent for the 13-14 year-olds. Children like these who are caries free do not need fissure sealants and their greater numbers in the current period of caries decline emphasize the need for selectivity of patients in sealant application. Changes in the type of teeth attacked by dental caries have also occurred. The low per cent of decayed permanent teeth, other than molars, was demonstrated . recently by. the baseline survey findings of the National Preventive Dentistry Demonstration Program (13) in the United States. At age 13, only about 12 per cent Or less of the chiJdren's premolar teeth in the non-fluoridated 3 Interestingly, these ftgUres are almost identical to those of the 1979-80 National Dental Caries Prevalence Survey in the United States. - 15 - communities and 6 per cent in the fluoridated communites were decayed (presumably on occlusal fissured surfaces). More second molars, 30-40 per cent, have already decayed at this age and, unlike the premolars, would seem to be suitable target teeth for selected sealant use. Similarly, the high caries prevalence demonstrated by the first permanent molars (58-76 per cent decayed) suggests the strong candidacy of this type of tooth for sealing since much of this decay will have occurred in the occlusal or other pit and fissure surfaces. However, even here, it is important to note that between 24-42 per cent of these first permanent molars displayed no decay at age 13 years, some seven years after their eruption, Thus, these data emphasize the need for selectivity in the teeth to be sealed. Shifts in Decaved Surface Distribution Based on data from the United States (Z7), Table 3.1 shows that proportionately less decay occurs now (16 per cent) on the smooth mesiodistal surfaces than previously (24-29 per cent). In these data, about 53 per cent of decay now occurs on occlusal surfaces which, inciclentaIJy, is similar to the 41-61 per cent occlusal. surface decay found in the 1982 survey of chiJdren in the four Atlantic provinces of Canada. It is also very important to note in Table 3.1 that, despite the increase in relative importance of "sealable" occlusal surfaces (from 49-54 per cent between 1971f74 and 1979180), the mean number of occlusal DMFS surfaces has actUally dropped from 3.5 to 2.6 DMFS due to the overall decline in dental caries during this period. (This mean reduction of 0.9 occlusal DMFs actUally equals that of the proximal, mesiodistal smooth surfaces.) v0 o.iVl'l:J Ik{l.t~\ t uJi.'frt I P(2 i.1etlnvt.. .~niu..C Sk.'i.^-~rtuo) P::i ~~, D 5 S ?ubl,:.J.

The NO analysis identified no trends in cancer risk that can be attributed to /luoridated drinking water. "Optimal/luoridation of drinking water does not pose a detectable cancer risk to humans as evidenced by extensive human epidemiological data to date, including new studies prepared for this report," the committee findings indicated. On the basis of this new evaluation of all the available scientific data on /luoride, the government panel recommended that the US Public Health Service continue supporting the use of /luorides and optimally /luoridated drinking water to prevent dental caries. Currently the recommended optimal level of /luoridated drinking water is 0.7 to 1.2 parts per million, depending on climatic conditions. The panel also recommended that the Public Health Service sponsor a scientific conference to identify total fluoride exposure Cont. p. 3 I In this issue: Bad: pain eased "Smi1ing Teeth- schools prt>gramme in India Europe .in the making '\!>"Y in the Ute ....--......~-...-.: p.s p.7 p.8/9, p.1O ..'__n I" THE MILAN Congress is the perfect erCUSe _ if you've ever . needed one - to visit Italy.

The programme was made as a result of the study conducted at the University of Calgary, Canada, showing dental amalgam to reduce sheep's kidney function by half (FDJ NI!WS, Marchi April). So the controversy surrounding amalgam continues to bubble along, spouting periodically like an Icelandic geyser, in spite of repeated reassurances that there is not a shred of scientifically valid evidence which links silver amalgams to systemic disease of any kind. The exception is cases of clearly demonstrated mercury sensitivity which are extremely rare. However, as dentists we should be sensitive to patient/consumer fears.

Before attempting any ...idespread introduction of fluoridation, the depanm.nl proposed a long-term. con- trolled study of a limited group of children who would be carefully monilored by physicians. Afler consid.ring vari- ous.communities, the depltlm.nl chose Ihe cities of New- burgh and Kingston U ideal candidales for the sludy. Localed some 3S miles .p.rt near the Hudson River. bo.h cities had populalions of about 30.000 .nd w.r. similar in racial, economic. and other demographic characteristics. Each also used reservoin with water deficient in fluoride.

In March 1944. the City Council of Newburgh .gr.ed 10 p.rticip.le in th. study and approved the fluoridalion of ill w.ler 10 I ppm. IGnptOn .greed to serve U Ihe con- 2 trol city and use its fluoride.deficient water without change. A 101~1 o( 817 children were enrolled in the Newhurgh group and 71 t in Kingston. Although most entered at (he slart of the study, several infants were added during each of the tirst three years to ensure having some children whose mothers were exposed to fluoridated water throughout pregnancy. The study went on (or 10 years. and a majority of the children in balh groups participaled lhrough the final ex- amination. The findings can be summarized briefty: The examinations disclosed no differences of medical signifi.. cance between the two groups that could even remotely be attributed ~o fluoride. There was one difference of dental significance. however. The Newburgh children experienced nearly 60 percenl fewer cavities than the Kingston children. Numerous studies have since connrmed the benefits of tluoridation. "Fewer cavities" means fewer coscly fillings, (ewer lost teeth. and, eventuatly. fewer dentures or partial dentures. The cost of fluoridation to a community. according to a report 1..1 year in lhe New England lournal of Medi- cine. is only about 10 to 40 cents a year per capita. .~ THE EVIDENCE FOR SAFETY Since lhe early days of the Newburgh-Kingston project, lilerally lhousands of scienliftc Sludies have examined the effeCliveness and safety of fluoride. Virtually every doubt or question lhat has been raised, however scanlY the evidence, h.. been studied in deplh by one or more groups of re- searchers. As a denlist representing the American Dental. ASSOcialion nOled in lhe House subcommillee hearings last fall. ~F1uoridation may well be the OlOStthoroughly sludied community heallh measure of recent hislory." [n the late 1960's, lhe World Health Organinlion accom- plished the Herculean task of pulling much of lhe known infOrmation together. The objective was to provide an im... panial review of the scientific literature on Ouoridation_ a. vast international aggregation of population studies. ex.. perimenta.l research. animal studies, and clinical investiga- tions. including human autopsy studies. clinical trials. and X'ray research. The report, ~F1uorides and Human Health," came out in 1970. It addressed numerous questions raised up to that time aboutlhe possible effecls of fluoride on differenl organs and its alleged association to various diseases. Again, the conclusions can be summarized briefly: The study found no reliable evidence that any iU effects or symptoms resulled from drinking water tluoridated at recommended levels. Since lbe report's publication, the World Heallh Organi- zation has uncovered no evidence to alter its judgment. In a statement issued in 1975, lhe organinlion nOled: "The only sign of physiological or palhological change in life-long users of optimally ftuoridated waler supplies, . . is that they sulfer less from lOOlh decay." THE LOYAL OPPOSITION No llIDlIUnt of study, however. has managed to quiet the criticism of ftuoride that has been present from the begin- ning. Writing in the Journal of lhe American Dental Asso- ciation ill March 1956, lbe commissioner of New York State's Depanmenl of Health. Dr. Herman E.

"The only sign of physiological or pathologi.cal change in life-long userlil of optimally fluoridated water suppliel . .. is that they suffer less from tooth . decay," [from a World Health Organ i-I zation report] Despite fluoridalion's success in Newburgh, Prolest against il elsewhere weren't collapsing so readily a decade later. The rise of "a vociferous minori!}'." said Dr. Hilleooa had succeeded in delaying, or even reversing. lhe Slart.u. of fluoridation in several areas. The opposition. he reported. came chiefty from food faddists. cultis... chiropractors. an_ people who misunderstood what fluoridation w... But lh effons of antifluoridationists have also been aided by th caution of various physicians. dentists. and scientists of good $landing who inilially questioned the safely of ftuorl' dation. Opposition has also come from other professional and lay people who view fluoridation as a government in- fringemenl of individual freedom. Various groups havcbeen formed for the sole purpose o. fighling ftuoridalion, but none has had much impaCl oUlSid of ilS local communi!}'. Generally. the real steam behind the antiftuoridation movement has come from wefl...(unded. nat- tional. multi..issue organizations that have been able t disseminate large amounts of scare propaganda around lh counlry. One such group is lhe lohn Birch Society. Anolher. up untillhe early 1970's. was lhe Rodale Press. publisher oW Prevenlion magazine and a frequent proponenl of unprov~ nUlrition concepts. The most active and effective group to- day, however. is the National Health Federation. whose roots run deep inlo the soil of medical quackery. THose lOOts. are worth a brief examination. 3 WHEN ROOSTERS HAD lAD TEETH [n the early 1950's. an organization called the Eleclronicl Medical Foundalion ran a lucrative,diagnosis-by-mail ser- vice and also sold electronic treatment devices for .'curing'. numerous disorders.

The scare tactics of the NHF aad other anti1luoridationists scored a stunning victory over dental health. "There is no evidencethat fluoride increases the incidence or mortality of cancer in any organ." [from a study by the Royal College of Physicians] Around the begiaainJ of 1975. Dr. Yiamouyiannis also joined forces with Dr. Burl:. Lit. the National Health Fed- .ration, Dr. Burt is a 1eadinl advocate of the worthless cancer drug LaetriI. (CONSUMU. groan. August 197'7). and he sbates the NHF's aversioa to tluoridation. . The collabontion produced a study claiming that 25.000 . or more excess c:aacer deaths occur annually in U.s. cities that tluoridate their water. The assenion was based on a comparison of death rates for specilIc caacen in some coun. ties that were duoridated compued with some that were not. In 1u1y 1975. Representative Delancy entered the study into the Congressioaal Record and called foe ~... immediate suspension of all anificial fluoridation. " The National Cancer Institute reviewed the study and was unimpressed. Unlike a proper epidemiological study, it had failed to tate into account widely recognized risk fac. tors known to a1fect the death rate from specific types nf cancers. Using the same data, the NCI reanalyzed the study. tating into account such inlIueaces u ethnic composition of the population, leographic location. socioeconomic status. and other fundamental risk factors. Tbe purported dilfer- .aces in the cancer death rates promptly disappeared. Undaunted, Ora. Burt and Y'WIIClU}'iannis bounced bact with anoth.r study. This time they compued overall cancer death ntes for 10 large cities that were duoridated v.rsus 10 large cities that were DOL Again, u,;, tluoridated cities came 4 out second best. Over the 20-year period sludied. cancer death rates in the nuoridated -citiC5 purportedly increased 10 percent more than in the untluoridated ones. In Decema ber 1975. Representative Delancy entered the sludy inlo Ihe Congressional Record and demanded that all ftuoridation be 'lopped. If anything, the new study Was even more amateurish than the luly entry. In the judgment of one NCI offici., .t the House subcommittee hearings, it represented "the worst piece of work th.1 has been done to d.te on ftuoride." Drs. Burk .nd Yi.mouyi.nni, h.d ,omehow m.n.ged to ignore the most fundamental facton involved in cancer mortality rates-age. s~x. and race. Old people die trom cancer more o(ten lh.n young people; men bave . higher c.ncer de.th r.te Ih.n women; and bl.cks . higher one th.n whiles. Un- less those ladon are taken into consideration. the rcsulb of a cancerarnonalily comparison would be meaningless. When NCI ,cienti,ts re.n.lyzed Ihe Burk.

I I I I I PART II: THE MISLEADING CLAIMS I I In addition to frighlening the public with a baseless claim that fluoridation of the public water supply causes ~ancer, the opponenlS. of fluo.ridatio.n have issued. many other ~isleading chargcs accusing fluorides of causing ills that range from brittle nails to blnh defects. SInce such clallns are rcs)lrrected whenever fluorid.ation comes up for a vote. we'll discuss the most persistent ones and examine the evidence behind them. I I CLAIM: FLUORIDE IS A POISON I Like iron, zinc, and several other minerals, fluorine (ia the form of tluoride) is classified by Ihe National Academy of Sciences as an essential trace element in human nutrition. And like many subslances essential In life or good health- iron, vitamins A and 0, oxygen. and even water itself- lIuoride can be loxic in excessive quantities. At high con. centratiOllS, tluoride has been used as a poison for i_ and rodents. However. at the level in tluoridated water-one part per million (ppm)-you.d have to drink at least several hundred gaJlons at one sillingto get a lethal dose. The water alone would kill you first. BUl what about lhe possibility of slow poisoning-a little bit at a time over long periods? According to tbe National Academy of Sciences. the daily intake required to produce symptoms of chronic toxicity after years ot consumption is 20 10 80 milligrams or more-far in eJtCCSS nf the average intake in the U.s. Such heavy doses are associated with water supplies that contain at least 10 ppm of natural tluoride. as in some parts of IndiL There is absolutely no I I I I I daDger of poisoning from imbibing water tluoridated to prevent dental cavities. An occasional tactic in antilluoridation tracts is to run pictures of cattle or other animals. harmed by tluoride poi. soning. The photographs are aUlhentic. but the impression conveyed is false. Years ago, sleel mills and clay factories in England and Wales somelimes polluted nearby vegeta. tion with tons of tluoride emissions. Similar incidents have also occurred in the U.s. Cattle and olher animals that grazed on the vegetation would ingest enormous amounts of tluoride and develop bone fraclures and lameness. Their pictures are the ones antiftuoridationist! use. In contrast. a controlled experiment with cattle produced far different results. The cattle were fcd various amount, of /luoride in Iheir diets for nearly 7'h years. Even at tluor. ide levels as high as 27 ppm, the cattle did not experience fractures, lamen.... or any adverse effects on soft lissues. fenility, or milk production. Nor were there any abnormal effects on lbeir offspring through successive generations. I CLAIM: FLUORIDE CAUSES BIRTH DEFECTS I In lbe late 1950's, a French physician named Rapapon reponed that mongolism occurred more frequently in some cities with lIuoridated water than in some cities with little or no /luoride in their waler. Experts who reviewed the study foUDcl it seriously lIawed. however, especially in ils method of locating cases. According 10 Dr. Rapaport's ficures, the incidence of mongoloid births in bolh lbe /loori- dated and un/luoridaled cities was less than half the usual rate-a bigbly questionable finding in itself. Thus. there was a strong lil::dihood lhat Dr. Rapaport had failed 10 uncover the majority of mongoloid birlhs in the cities he chose to I I I study, That conclusion wu soon confirmed by a more carefully controlled stUdy in England. Using more exactin. methods of case. finding, lbe British researchers reported no difference in lbe incidence of mongolism whether the water was high or low in /luoride. Since then, two extensive studies have subslalltiated lbe British findings. One surveyed virtually all mongoloid births in Massachusetts from 1950 through 1966. The results. published in lbe New England Journal of Medicine in 1974, showed no link between ftuoridation and mongolism. An 6 .v.n larg.r study published in 1976 cov.red approximately 1.4 million births in six major U.s. citi... R....rch.rs at th. C.nt.r for Di......

Alain, there was no al cialion b.tween ftuorid. and any nf th. defects. In sh the antiftuoridationisu' claim is based solely on the dis credited Rapapon study. I CLAIM: FLUORIDE IS MUTAGENIC A variation on th. birth-d.fects th.m. is th. charg. that t1uorid. is a g.n.tic hazard. Until rec.ntly, this claim was bas.d on irr.levant or qu..tionabl. experiments with fruit iii.. and plants. Th.... in 1976. two r....rch.rs in Kansas City.

Although experts who RViewed th. exp.riment noted s.v.ral inconsist.nci.. in th. r..ults, th. qu..tion it raised WIS iudged important .nough to warrant fUnh.r research. ACCOrdingly. joint studies w.re undertak.n by th. lab- oratory of Dev.lopm.ntal Biology and Anomalies at the N Itional Institute of Dental R..earch. the Department of Bioch.mistry at the Univ.nity of Millllesota. and the I Laboratory of C.Uular and Comparativ.

Th. sci.ntists conducted fa separate experiments,. including tests aD mice rcccivinc Ie doses of lIuorid.. and mice raised for sev.ral,generations on wlter containing 50 ppm of lluorid.. None of the studli produced any evidence that ftuoride damages chromosom even at leveI. 100 times that in ftuoridated water supplies. In Germany. meanwhile, an ind.pendent group of r.- searchelS reponed similar results with human white bl1 eeU.. which are especially sensitive to mutagenic agen'll Not only did ftuoride fail to produc. damage. it llso ,VI_ deneed an antimutagenic .ff.ct by p,ot<ctilll chromosome. against a known mutagen. . CLAIM: FLUORIDE CAUSES ALLERGIC REACTIONS I Th. c:harge that people caa suffer allergic reactions or "in- tolerance~ to ftuoride gained prominence from anecdotal accounts by George L Waldbott, M.D~ an early opponent of ftuoridation who founded the National Fluoridation N.ws. Between 1955 and 1965. Dr. Waldbott reponed numerous instances of patients experiencing nausea, head- ""h... "spastic colitis," or various other symptoms thlt he attributed to lIuoride ing..tion. In the World Health Organization study:dcscribed last month. a review of the Waldbott reports found no reliabl_ evidence to suppon his contentions.

Afte a review of the existing clinical reports. the executive com- mitte. of the academy concluded unanimously: "Th.re is no evid.nc. of allergy or intolerance to ftuoridcs IS us'1 ia the ftuoridation of community water suppli...- CLAIM: FLUORIDE CAUSES CANCER IN ANIMALS Possibly the most absurd evidence manIta1led against ftuori- dation is material purporting to show that lIuorid. induces cancer in animals. One seri.. of studies fr.qu.ntly quoted by IIltiJluoridationislS wu conducted by research.rs in Texas in the 1950's. The lint study Involved a strain of mice that ordinarily leIS cancer. Supposedly. the mice given lluori- dated wata' dev.loped tumon slightly earlier than similar mice on n-uI..free water. There were a few minor hitch.. in the aperim.nt, however. All the mice were also fed a dOC chow that, unknown to the investigator, contained 42 ppm of n-ule-or IOta 100 times the lmount any of the mice got ill their wat.r. thus making any complrison b.. tween the two groups invalid. A funh.r botching occurred when the Uncstigltor miscalculated the amounts of ftuarid. . in the wat.r. Two sci.atists from the National rnstitul.. Of.

CLAIM: FLUORIDE CONTRIBUTES TO HEART DISEASE I In Wisconsin. opponCllts of ftuoridation have often charged that il increucs the number of deaths from beart diseuc. They base their claim on statistics that show a rise in beart deaths in the town of Antigo. Wis.. since the introduction of lIuoridation there. The National Heart and Lung Institule b.. called the data a "misrepresentation of statistics.- As one scientist points out, "The well-known fael that deaths from heart disease become more frcqUCllt .. people grow older was overlooked," Since lIuoridation was introduced in Antigo in 1949, the percClllage of elderly people there has doubled. Between 1950 and 1970. for example. the s"IIDent of the I I I population 75 yean old or older incrcucd 106 percent. When that factor is taken into account, the alleged effect of ftuoride y.niilh" Accanlia& to a 1972 study by the National Hcan and Lung Institulc, comparisons of ftuoridatcd and unftuoridaled communities reveal no dilference in the nle of heart deaths. Furthermore, reported the institure, evidence from autopsy studies, from cumiDations of people exposed to acute dOSCl of ftuoride in indusaial accidents, and from medical data On . people who bave drunk water naturally bigh in lIuoride for a lifetime "all consistendy indicate no adverse effect on cu- diovasculu bealth." THE FACTS: ANTIGO LEARNED THEM THE HARD WAY I I I Of all the numerous ills that have been attributed to ftuoridation-from cancer in bumans to constipalion in dogs -none b.. ever been shown to be valid. In fact, the only known hazard of ftuoridatcd water bas nothing to do with drinking it. PatiCllts undcr80ing Iddncy dialysis can be ex- posed to about 50 to 100 times the amount of ftuid COJI. sumed by the average pcnoIl. Accordingly, tbe National IlIStilllle ol Arthritis and Metabolic Disease recommcads that ftuoride-as wcll as ealcium. malDC:'iwn. and coppcr- be removed from the tap water be/MC /I U IUcd in an ani- fici4l kJdnq IftI1Chinc, Aside from that precaution. there is no gClluiDc reasoa to worry about ftuoridatioa. In 1960. however. tbc residcllta of Antigo. WIS.. didn't reaIizc that scare stories beiul circulated by local opponents of ftuoridation were false. Antigo voted to discontinue its II-yeu practice of ftuoridatiug the water supply. The dcci- sioa CYeSUDaIIy led to a ltudy by public health oftlcials, who wanted 10 learn wbat ctrec:ta the cad of 4uoridation would have oa !be dclltaI bealth of Antigo YOWlgstcn.

The examiners recorded the number of decayed. missing. or filled teeth for each child. Four ycan later. they repeated the examination among children in aJJ of the same grades except the sixth.

Despite pcnisliDg claims about beart deaths by local anti- lIuoridationiats, the people of Antigo today still drink lIuori- dated water.

Ontario, starting a trend that would bring Contro- versy, consternation and, ulti- mately, improved oral health to millions of Canadians. It was an inauspicious begin- ning. Branrford was only the sec- ond city in the world _ after Grand Rapids. Michigan. in Janu- ary 1945 - to add fluoride to its public water supply. In fact, the fluoride concentra- tion used in both Branrford and Grand Rapids - one part of fluo- ride to one million pans of water - was based on a half century of investigation and research in Can. ada and the United States. These initial studies were followed by another half century of investiga_ tion and research, as well as con- siderable controversy. But no sin. gle event has had more influence on arresting dental c~ries and im. proving oral health than the simple addition of 1.0 ppm of sodium fluoride to drinking water. From the oral health perspec- tive, fluoride first became an issue in 1901, when two American ob- 5eIVefS. coincidentally and inde- , pendently, were among the fi rstto repon on a peculiar dental de- fonnity and discoloration. Physi- cian John Eager noticed the anom- aly in Europe, when he was examining U.S.-oound Italian emi- grants from the Naples area. Dr. Fifty Years Of Fluoridation I P. Ralph Crowford, BA. DMD Frederick McKay, a 1900 graduate from Pennsylvania Dental School. observed the same deformities in the U.S., when he established a praaice in Colorado Springs. Although he saw the deformity among the first patients he treated in Colorado, it took several lonely years of investigation before Dr. McKay was able to persuade the Colorado Dental Association to in- vite Chicago's eminent Dr. G.V. Black to attend its state meeting. It was Dr. Black who named the de- formity, "mottled enamel." He and Dr. McKay reported their findings in the celebrated article, "An En- demic Developmental Imperfec- tion of the Enamel of the Teeth Heretofore Unknown in the litera- ture of Dentistry," published in Dental Cosmos in February 1916. Dr. McKay, convinced that there was something in the Colo- rado Springs water that not only monied enamel, but also made teeth resistant to decay, continued his research. He eventually found the answer in Bauxite, Arkansas, a company town owned by the Alu- minum Company of America (Al- coa). The teeth of Bauxite's children showed the same brown stain that Dr. McKay had first seen in Colo- rado, but the teeth of children in a neighboring community were (ree from mottling. Urged on by Dr. McKay, Alcoa's chemists tested Bauxite's drinking water, and dis. covered that it contained high lev- els of naturally occurring fluoride. Th is discovery led to a major re- search effort by the U.S. Public Health Service's new National In- stilute of Health (NIH). In fact, it was Dr. H. Trendley Dean, NIH's first dental officer, who gave the condition its modern name, "fluorosis," and identified the link between fluoride and a reduaion in dental caries. He reported that children in cities with fluoride-free water had three times as many car- ies as those living in cities with more than 1.0 ppm of fluoride in the water supply. On January 25, 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the first city in the world to deliberately in- troduce fluoride into its water sup- ply. The introduaion was part of a carefully planned study, with nearby Muskegon to aa as the non.fluoridated control commu- nity. Concomitant with the Grand Rapids investigations in the Unired States, Dr. W.l. Hunon, medical officer of health for the Brant County Health Unit, took up the caUse o( fluoridation in Canada. like the American effort, the intra- duaion of fluoride to the Branrford water supply would be part of a larger investigation. ^ pre-lluoridation survey o( the primary school population had been carried out by the Branrford school dentist.

Within a year of fluoridation, Sramford health authorities held discussions with the University of Toronto's dental faculty and the National Research Council of Canada's committee on dental research to undenake a controlled study of the effects of fluoridation. Two comparable western Ontario cities, Samia and Stratford, agreed to setve as con- trols - Stratford's water was natu- rally fluoridated at a concentration of from 1.3 to 1.6 ppm, while Samia's water supply was vinually fluoride free. Within 10 years, the statistics were self-evident. Fluoridated Brantford had a DMF rate that was 50 per cent lower than the rate seen in fluoride-deficient Sarnia, but comparable to the DMF rate for naturally-fluoridated Stratford.

Low doses of fluoride daily are bene1icial to the dentaJ health of adults as weU as children. The initial reports of fluoride's Protective effects began surfacing in the late 1930s and studies have repeatedly shown that the use of fluoride greatly reduces the incidence of dental caries. Whether it occurs naturally or is added, oPtirna1!y-fluoridated drinking water has beerr associated with a reduction in tooth decay of almost 50 percent in children. In the 1990 Diet and Health Report, the National Research Council cited fluoride as the most effective dietary component exhibiting a protective effect against dental caries. Fluoride levels between 0.7 and 1.2 mg per liter of water are considered ideal and epidemiological studies have shown these low doses to be safe. Fluoride levels in the food supply vary greatly. Foods and beverages such as soft drinks and juices processed with fluoridated water can be a significant SOUI1:e of fluoride for those 'whose water supplies are low in fluoride. Otherwise. tea and fish consumed with the bones (such as canned salmon) are two of the b<lst sources of dietary fluoride. Recommended Fluoride Levels The recommended daily safe and adequate range for fluoride for adults established by the National Research Council is 1.5 to 4.0 mg per day. Esti- mates of daily consumption ranges from 0.9 rng in areas without fluori- dated water supplies to l. 7 mg in areas with water fluoridation. Consumers can calI their local water department to find out the IeveI of fluoride in their public water . supply. Those who live in communi- ties with suboptimal levels of fluoride in the water should take preventative measure to increase fluoride exposure. Both children and adults should use a fluoride toothpaste approved by the American Dental Association once or twice daily and supplement it with mouthwash con- taining fluoride. The American Academy of Pedi- atrics recommends fluoride supple- ments for inCmts from two weeks to two years of age who are fed human milk. liquid formula or powdered for- mula reconstituted with non- fluoridated water. .

The paper presents a summary of what we have learned over the past 50 years, and explains how research and experience have changed some of our concepts of fluoride's anti- cariogenic effects. But Dr. Limeback leaves no doubt that "water fluorida- tion is still the most effective. cost~f- ficient and equitable means of pro- tecting people against caries. Its safety over the years has been well established. It is the fluoride ther- apy of choice for the general population. Fluoridated tooth. pastes. if used by eIIef)'<lI1e on a daily basis, have proven to be equally as effective. A recommen. dation that both fluoride therapies be continued, but some adjust- ment of dosage be considered, is something that will no doobt be debated in years to come.<< Fifty years is not a great span of time in the course of human en- deavor. However, when we review the shott history of fluoridation _ (rom the early investigations at the turn of the century, the foresight of the city of Brantford in June 1945, the thousands upon thousands of research initiatives by dedicated scientists, and the encouragement of the dental community and a concerned public - we can take justifiable pride.

Montreal.s children in comparison have a OMf rate similar ro Toronro before liuoridation. Let us 1001< at nine-year-olds.In 1964 the OMF rate in Toronro was 2.1. By 1986 It had declined to 0.7 (a 67 per cent reduction). In comparison Montreal's eight-year-olds had a OMF rate of 1.7. Since nine-year-olds have a higher OMF rate than eight-year-olds, it is obvious that in 1984 che OMF rate for Montreal nine-year-olds was as poor as nine-year- oIds in Toronto prior to liuoridatlon. 6. ~ I 1 . , ! ! ..

This figure gradualJy drops until the mid-teens and then levels off. What this figure tells us is the percentage of children who have never suffered pain from dental decay. Looking at 11-year-olds we see a Won- ~ I derfuI story: in 1964 only 7 per cent 0 Toronto's 11-year-olds had never had decay. By 1984 had risen to 45 per cent or nearly half. in Montreal in 1984 by. comparison only 12 per cem had nevell had decay. Agam. this figure is closew Toromo before its fluoridation. Amonl 13-year-olds in Toronto the story is e better. in 1964 only 5 per cent had ne had decay while in 1986. it had risen to 35 per cem. a seven-fold increase. in Montreal among the 12-year-olds, Onll 9 per cem had never had decay. Figur for Montreal 13-year-olds would be lowe and so again the figuies for Montreal I similar to Toronto before its fluoridati It would also be helpful to compare within Toronto. Annually,.approxirnatel) 30 per cem of aU immigrants to Canal settle in Metropolitan Toronto. Conse- quently. our Statistics reflect children born in Toronto. who have had the advantage of fluoridated water and ~ dren born elsewhere many of whom hall not had the advantage of fluoridated water. Looking at children who have never I decay in either primary teeth or penna nem teeth. we find significant differ- ences. in 1985. among five-year-olds. J 70 per cent of those born in Toronto never had decay while only 47 per cen immigrant children were in this siruation, Among 13-year-olds. the difference:t' even more apparent. Fully twice as children born in Toronto never had compared to the children born elsewhere (35 per cem vs. 18 per cem). . From a different perspective. the meaJI number of teeth per child requiring resto- ration. we see a similar situation. Antol five-year-olds only 0.4 tooth per child . decayed in Toronto-born children, whil it is three times as high (1.2) per child born e1sewhere. For 13-year-olds. a s'~' lac siruatlon prevails. For Toronto-bor children it is only 0.3 tooth per child while it is double that (0.6) per child born elsewhere. It should be noted that the 1 mary reason for the significant decline among children five to 13 years of age. born elsewhere. is that they have bene- fitted from the extensive trealment prol gram operated by the City of Toronto Depamnent of Public Health, which is largetted to high risk children. What these figures combine to demo~ strate is the remarkable effect that fluo. dated water has in improving the dental health of children. Whether comparin~ Toronto-born children with children bo elsewhere living in Toronto. or camp . the children in two dtles. the fact is obvi- ous: fluoridation works and it works I remarkably wen. I ,. , I. . I . . . . . I . . . . You may ask, "What does it cost? Surely, these benefits have a price!" The annual fluoridation budget is approxi- mately $700,000 per year and the popu- lation of Metropolitan Toronto is approxi- mately 2,400,000. Therefore. the cost per person per year is a mere 29 cents. when one considers the cost of dental care today. not to mention the joy of a painless, infection-free mouth. 29 cents is indeed very low. The next section will deal with mortality data. It has been suggested that fluorida- tion is associated with higher rates of mortality for a) diseases of the circulatory system and b) neoplasms. To address this issue we have looked at directly stand- ardized mortality rates for these two causes for residents of the City ofToronro for the period 1951-1986. Figure 5 illustrates that the circuJatory rates (per 100,000 popu1ation) have dropped from 600 in 1951 to 177 in 1986. Furthermore. this downward trend has been relatively consistent over the entire period. The mortality rates for neoplasms shown have remained relatively stable over the same period. It is interesting to note when Toronto began its fluoridation program (i.e. 1963 which is shown with an arrow on the abscissa). The downward trend in circuIa- tory mortality rates is similar both before and after the introduction of fluoridation in Toronto. Therefore. there does not appear to be any suggestion in the data of a link between the introduction of fluori- dation and mortality rates for diseases of the circulatory system or neoplasms. The final section compares the mortal- ity rates of Toronto and Montrea1. This data comes from the Mortality Atlas of Canada. The age standardized mortality rates are based on data for the period 1966-1976 and are standardized via the direct method using the 1971 Canadian population as the standard. The smallest breakdown we can get for Toronto is the Census disnict known as Toronto Metropolitan which we then compare with the census division Isle de Montreal. Table I sho....'S that for cancers (all sites) for both males and females the Montrea1 monaIity rates are apptoxi- mately 15 and 17 per cent higher than the Toronto rates. For disease of the circulatory system Table 2 shows that again the Montrea1 rates are app~t,",y 11 and 17 per cent higher in Montreal for males and females respeaM:ly. The last figure (figure 6) graphically displays these age standardized mortality rates.

Dear Honorable Mayor, This letter is written with regards to the proposed zoning changes to the parcel of land located in Part Lot 28, Concession 1, former Village of Newcastle. As residents of Clarke Street, Newcastle we are opposed to the proposed changes. In the spring of 1996 we purchased our home and property located at 24 Clarke Street. . We were attracted to the area by the large, spacious lots and country-like setting. The area presented to us a pleasant change from a crowded town subdivision. It is with great concern that we received the notice of proposed changes under Planning File: DEV 97-014(XREF: 18T-91012); Clerk's File: DI4~DEV.97-9l4. The changes being proposed by The Kaitlin Group would mean - significant reduction in the size of the lots. The current zoning requires a minimum frontage of 18.0 metres, ~ith a minimum lot area of 650 sq. metres. The proposed reductions to 13.8 metres frontage and 435 sq. metres lot size would radically alter the character of the neighbourhood. We feel the proposed changes would not. serve the interests of ourselves and the other-residents in the area. The present zoning was put in place by planners to conform to what was already in place in the community; their wisdom should be respected, Your time and consideration to this matter is appreciated. We look forward to your support and receiving further information regarding this issue. Your position will certainly have a direct affect on our family and our place in the community.

Our Multipoint Distribution System (MDS) will bring new benefits to existing cable consumers ( including greater flexibility in the choice of programming at a lower cost) and will supply full service to those who are not reached by cable and are limited in their choice of television services. m w ~ ;a :> MDS is an over-the-air digital transmission system which enables Look TV to transmit television signals without in-ground or overhead wires. It is an excellent alternative to cable or direct-to-home satellite technologies, and offers superior digital broadcast quality. This new service will provide customers with all local Canadian television stations, Canadian and U.S. specialty services and pay television channels. Choice for consumers on Look TV will be unlike anything else currently on the market _ a minimum of 75 television channels with plans for expansion to 150 channels. ~ .. o B c e ~ o o N ~ 2 ., w Cost for the service to the consumer will be lower than cable subscription costs, and customers will have a greater individualized selection of packaged services and individual channels. As well, they will be able to obtain pay-per-view services without having to subscribe to the basic service. .. . 1;; ~ ol! o ~ o .. o .. Look TV is a new company whose shareholders bring extensive experience in broadcasting and broadcasting technologies, and have a sound financial base. They include Teleglobe Media Enterprises, a division of Teleglobe Inc.; Baton Broadcasting Incorporated; C.!. Covington Fund Inc.; Novanet Communications Limited. and myself. I was previously President of both Rogers Cable TV and Maclean Hunter Cable TV, and know the issues that are important 10 both consumers and those who develop and produce lelevision programs. . w ~ m w ~ ~ D ~ , '" i o :> Our initial investment of $53 million will ensure rapid, cost-effective deployment of this high quality, high capacity service to over 96% of Southern Ontario. Our start-up costs are only the beginning of our commitment to Canadian broadcasting and local content. We will designate seven percent of our gross revenues to program production, including the development of local interactive multi-media services. We expect to contribute more than $12 million to the development and production of community programs over the seven years of our license, along with close to $10 million to the Canada Television and Cable Production Fund. As well, we will provide free MDS service to schools in the Look lV coverage area. Within a short period oftime, we will also be able to offer high-speed wireless access to Internel service providers. " o c 1> ~ N :> ~ .. g w .

Because it includes a rural component. many of our residents do not have access to cable television and would welcome Look TV's introduction to our community. In addition, those who do have cable would like to see an alternative and competitive selVice in terms of program selection and pricing. Many of our community groups would benefit from Look TV's very strong commitment to local community programming development, and will be eager to take advantage of Look TV's production fund for local programs.

MDS provides CD-like sound, high-resolution images and, most importantly, expand- ed channel capacity. With Digital Video Compression, dis- tributors can squeeze at least five times more video channels into the same space than ana- log channels. An MDS network requires little infraslructure, and so facilitates rapid and cost-effective deployment This is particularly true for Look TV since it will make use of exis- ting lransmission sites. for their part subscribers only need a simple set-top box and a flat. compact antenna to receive the signal. MDS accommodates local programming and bidirec- tional service, providing access to both video and audio chan- nels as well as to Internet and other interactive' multimedia' services.

BACKGROUND 1.1 On March 3, 1997, the General Purpose and Administration Committee considered Staff Report PD-31-97 and recommended to Council that the Tree Preservation By-law attached to. the Report be adopted. At the meeting, Committee received submissions from Mrs. Ubby Racansky and Mrs, Evylin Stroud in respect of the By-law. Mrs. Kerry Meydam subsequently submitted a letter to the Municipality in respect of the By-law, I PAGE 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I "", , I 2.2.2 The By-law has been further modified so that a farmer is no longer required to obtain a :<::.i:~ I I ADDENDUM TO REPORT PD-31-97 1,2 1.3 1.4 2. 2.1 2.1.1 2.2 2.2.1 At the March 10, 1997 Council meeting, Mr, Don Welsh appeared as a delegation and expressed concern with the effect of the By-law on farm operations. Similar concerns were expressed in a letter considered by Council from Mr. Howie Herrema, President of the Durham Region Federation of Agriculture. Council resolved to table the Report to allow the Director of Planning and Development to meet with the Federation of Agriculture. On March 24, 1997, Planning Department Staff met with Mr, Welsh and Mrs. Jacqueline Vaneyk of the Durham Region Federation of Agriculture to discuss the Tree Preservation By-law. Mrs. Racansky, Mrs. Stroud and Mrs, Meydam also attended, as did Mr. John Osmok, Coordinator of the Durham Land Stewardship Council. As a result of comments provided at and subsequent to the meeting, modified the Tree Preservation By-law to address the concerns of the community, as well as those of the other participants at the meeting. modifications to the By-law are discussed in Section 2 below. Staff have agricultural The major MODIFICATIONS TO TREE PRESERVATION BY-LAW Title of Bv-Iaw The title of the By-law has been changed to "Woodlot Preservation By-law". This change reflects the primary intent of the By-law, which is the protection of wooded areas. Farm Operations Under the previous version of the By-Iaw, a farmer did not need a permit to destroy trees if it was occurring as an integral component of an active farm operation. However, he would have been required to consult with a Professional Forester to ensure the destruction of trees occurred in accordancewith good forestry practice. The By-law has been modified to remove this latter requirement. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ADDENDUM TO REPORT PD-31-97 PAGE 3 permit to clear land to expand an active farm operation. However, a farmer intending to clear trees is to advise the Planning Department of the proposed destruction of trees. This latter provision will allow Municipal staff to respond quickly to public inquiries regarding the tree cutting. However, any farmer who fails to provide proper notification of tree cutting would not be charged; rather, the Officers would make him aware of the By-law's requirements. 2.2,3 A definition of " Farmer" has been added to the By-law to ensure that only legitimate farmers can use the above provisions to destroy trees without a permit. 2,3 Woodlot Manaqement 2,3.1 Previously, the By-law only recognized Registered Professional Foresters as being able to prepare Woodlot Management Plans or to certify that trees were being destroyed in accordance with good forestry practice. The modified By-law now states these services are to be provided by a ''forestry consultant", and includes forestry technicians and technologists and forest/wildlife ecologists 1 as well as Professional Foresters, in the definition of ''forestry consultants". This modification increases the options available to land owners seeking advice on woodlot management. 2.3.2 The definition of "woodlot" has been modified to indicate that the extent of a woodlot is based on its ecological function and not on other features, such as property lines, which may divide the woodlot. This modification is intended to ensure that the ecological health of an entire woodlot is considered when trees are proposed to be destroyed. As well, the minimum area defined as a woodlot has been reduced from 0.4 ha (1 acre) to 0.2 ha to make the By-law consistent with the Regional Tree Conservation By-law, 2.4 Permit for Destruction of Trees 2.4.1 The modified By-law provides for a permit to destroy trees to be issued where such destruction is necessary to allow the establishment or expansion of a use permitted by both the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, However, the applicant must submit a I' I ADDENDUM TO REPORT PD.31.97 PAGE 4 I 3. 3,1 Many constructive comments with respect to the Tree Preservation By-law were provided by those who attended the meeting with Planning Staff. The modified By-law, renamed as the "Woodlot Preservation By-law", provides an appropriate balance between protecting the rights of the agricultural community and protecting the Municipality's woodland resources. report prepared by a forestry consultant to indicate that there is no alternative to the I destruction of the trees, As well, the Director must be satisfied that the intent of the Official Plan and the Woodlot Preservation By-law is maintained. This provision was I added to recognize that the Woodlot Preservation By-law cannot interfere with development rights conveyed by Planning documents, provided that the protection of I woodlots is satisfactorily addressed.
