MAYOR'S OFFICE
The Bowmanville Rotary Club and the Easter Seal Committee
request that the Municipal council proclaim this month as
Easter Seal Month. We would also request permission to
fly the Easter Seal flag at the Town Hall in Bowmanville
during this campaign.
If Council permits, a convenient time to hold the flag
raising ceremony would be Monday, March 3 at 9:15 a.m.
before the General Purpose and Administration meeting.
This would allow time for publicity to be prepared for
the local newspapers.
You may notify the Rotary Club of the Council's decision
by calling me at 623-6646. I will contact the newspapers
to arrange publicity.
Thank you.
Yours truly,

A public meeting was held for the purpose of passing By-law 97-28,
to authorize the closure of the Old Kingston Road Bridge to vehicular traffic, and
make improvements to maintain a pedestrian walkway, in Lot 33, Concession 2,
former Darlington Township.
I
I
Mr. Gordon Vinson. 22 Old Kingston Road, Courtice, LlE 2R8, addressed
Council objecting to the closure of the Old Kingston Road bridge. Mr. Vinson
indicated that closing the bridge provides only one exit from Old Kingston Road,
that being by way of Prestonvale Road. In doing so, it is necessary to attempt
accessing Highway No.2 by way of the traffic lights at Prestonvale Road and
Highway No.2. If the bridge is left open, it enables the residents to travel
westerly on Old Kingston Road and make easier access onto Highway No.2. He
requested that the bridge be kept open for safety and convenience purposes.

For Immediate Action
AMO MEETS WITH KEY MINISTERS TO DISCUSS WHO DOES WHAT
ISSUE:
Representatives from AMO met today with the Honourable Ernie Eves, Minister of Finance, the
Honourable AI Leach, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and the Honourable Janet Ecker,
Minister of Community and Social Services. The meeting was a first step In discussions on
possible improvements to the package of Who Does What reforms.
THE FACTS:
Following the January 31 meeting of the AMO Board of Directors, the Association wrote to Premier
Harris outlining serious concerns with the package of Who Does What reforms and requesting a
meeting.
In a response from the Premier received on February 10, the Premier directed key Ministers to
meet with AMO as soon as possible.
At today's meeting, AMO President, Terry Mundell, and AMO First Vice-President, Jack Morris,
outlined municipal concems with the proposed arrangements announced by the Province in
January.
Key among AMO's concems is the Province's proposal to require municipalities to t~ke on a greater
share of health and social services costs.
AMO's message to the government was very clear:
· Income redistributive programs like social assistance should not be funded with property taxes.
· The Province and Municipalities must work together to ensure that reform of provincial and
municipal roles and responsibilities does not adversely affect property tax payers. Municipalities
intend to hold Premier Harris to his commitment that decisions made by his Government will not
result in higher property taxes.
· MuniCipalities need stable revenUes to meet changing service responsibilities. Municipalities
want long-term solutions that support strong and independent local government In Ontario,
· Municipalities and property tax payers need a clear accounllng of the impacts of proposed
reforms.

SINGLE, UNIFIED MUNICIPAUTY RECOMMENDED FOR HAMILTON.WENTWORTH
A single, unified municipality for Hamillon-Wentworth is recommended in a report
released today by Ernie Hardeman, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Municipal
Affairs and Housing.
"A single, strong municipality means less overlap and duplication, at less cost to
taxpayers; said Hardeman. "It would also lead to broad-based, local representation
which gives a clear voice to communities."
Local leaders had agreed to a single-tier government after examining the Issue over
three years. The government was asked to make the necessary legislative changes.
Prior to doing that, Issues such as boundarles and the new system of representation
needed to be resolved. Hardeman was appointed on December 17, 1996 to help
resolve these outstanding issUS$.
Hardeman offers several key recommendations to help implement the municipalities'
restructuring proposal:
a) a single, unified municipality made up of Ancaster, Dundas, Glanbrook,
Hamilton East, Hamilton West, Haminon Mountain and Stoney Creek;
b) dividing the Township of Flamborough among the existing municipalities
in Halton and Waterloo, and the new city;
c) legislating equal representation on the new council (effective in 2007);
.'
d) establish a council of 16 direoUy-elected councillors;
e) establishing a community council in each of the affected municipalities;
f} establishing a transition committee of five elected members (the regional
chair, the Mayor of Hamilton, one Hamilton councillor and two suburban
mayors).
112...
.
.
. ,
The recommendations are based on extensive consultations between Hardeman and
representatives from both the private and public sectors in the region.
"Change is never easy, and viewpoints on restructuring are varied," said Hardeman
"However, we have put forward a position we believe is workable. We believe it will be
in the best interest of the taxpayer. And, we believe it will result in a strong and unified
Hamilton-Wentworth. .
Over the next two weeks, the govemment plans to cof,lsider the report and public
reaction to it. If Hardeman's recommendations - or a variation of them - are accepted,
legislation will be required.

Dear Mayor
J am writing this letter to inform you that beginning this week we will be notifying
customers of a natural gas rate increase. It is my intention to help you understand the
reason for the rate increase and thereby assist you in responding to any queries you
may have from citizens in your community.
Due to colder than normal weather in many areas of North America, there has been
much higher demand for natural gas. As a result, the price we are paying for natural
gas has gone up. We therefore have applied to the Ontario Energy Board for approval
to increase our rates beginning in March to reflect the higher prices and have today
obtained approval.
The rate increase will have the result that a typical residential oustomer using 3737m3 of
natural gas a year will pay between $3 to $5 more per month. This is approximately a
5% increase. A rate notice wil1 be included in our customers bills next month to inform
them of the new rates. In addition, we will be providing our customers advance notice
of the increase beginning this week.
This situation is not unique to Ontario or Consumers Gas. Many other utilitle$ in
Canada and the United States are implementing similar, and in some cases, higher rate
increases. Consumers Gas will not profit from the increase. We do not mark up the
price we pay to buy natural gas. Any Increase or decrease in the prioe we pay for
natural gas is passed along to the customer.
Even after this inorease, natural gas will still be approximately 35% cheaper than oil and
66% cheaper than electricity in the residential and small commercial markets. In fact, a
typical customer is still paying less for natural gas now than in 1984. By contrast, since
1984 the consumer price index has increased by almost 42%, the price of 011 has gone
up about 14% and the price of electricity has gone up nearly 94%.

1997-02-12
As noted above, deregulation in the natural gas industry in the past 10 years has
resulted in a very competitive gas commodity market in North America and low gas
prices for our customers. However, the long term benefits of deregulated gas markets
are also accompanied by greater price volatility due to market forces such as the recent
dramatic increase in North American demand for natural gas. Consumers Gas is
committed to getting the best prices possible for our customers. We work hard to
ensure that the costs associated with the use of natural gas are as low as possible and
that our products and services are competitive.
We are confident that natural gas will continue to have a significant price advantage
over other sources of energy for many years to come. We have a commitment to our
customers that we will continue working to keep natural gas the best value for your
energy dollar. .
If I can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to call me at (416) 495-5379.
Your truly,

Re: Cairn. Old Newcastle Public School
At the 14 January 1997 Regular Board Meeting, the matter of a brick cairn at the site
of the old Newcastle Public School was discussed, and a motion was adopted that the
demolition contractor for the old Newcastle Public School be directed to reserve a
maximum of 400 bricks from the building, at no direct cost to the Board. These
bricks will be reserved for use by the Newcastle Village community to erect a
memorial cairn at a location that will not interfere with play areas, with the project
to be initiated and funded by the community.
The Board will arrange to store the salvaged bricks for this project until
30 April 1997. Please contact Mark Galonski, Controller of Plant, at the Board Office,
extension 250, to make arrangements to collect the bricks at the appropriate time.
Sincerely

Newcastle, ON LIB 1H3
Dear Pauline Storks
Your correspondence dated 11 December 1996 regarding the old Newcastle Public
School was presented and reviewed at the 14 January 1997 Regular Board Meeting.
.,~.
As noted in previous correspondence to you, several potential uses for the building
were considered by the Board; however, there was not a serious commitment from
any group. As was explained at the Meeting, the estimated cost of $1 320 000 for
extensive upgrading to the old School includes work related to roofing repairs;
heating, plumbing, and ventilation systems; asbestos removal; and window
replacements. Making the building handicap accessible, with an elevator, would
add a substantial amount to this figure.
Partial demolition of the building, with the south wing being updat.ed, would have
resulted in an approximate cost of over $275 000. The south wing would
accommodate four classrooms and a gymnasium.
The efficiency of the Hunter baseboard units you refer to has not yet been proven
satisfactorily. The installation of these units requires separate exterior flues, with no
flues to be within 10 feet of a window, and four to six units required for each
classroom.
Ministry approval for the new school was based on the need for a replacement
school, not a new school site for area growth. However, no portables will be
required with the current School enrolment of 570 students, and the new School
will accommodate 648 students. The portables that are currently on site will be
moved to areas where they are needed.

The total cost for the demolition projec.t will be $145 000, which includes consulting
and contractor fees.
Once the old School is demolished, the land surrounding the new school will
accommodate one soccer field and one baseball field. The Municipality of
Clarington has the use of the playing fields during sports season, in exchange for
keeping the grounds cut.
I trust that your questions regarding the old Newcastle Public School matter have
been answered and, again, I thank you for your interest and concern regarding this
issue.

RRST RESTRUCTURING COMMISSION APPOINTED FOR KENT COUNTY AND
CITY OF CHATHAM
Ontario's first restructuring commission will begin work February 10, to develop a
solution to Kent County's restructuring challenge, Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing AI Leach announced today.
Dr. Peter Meyboom, former federal deputy minister and a member of the Who Does
What panel, has been chosen to lead the commission. Dr. Meyboom has extensive
experience in mediation and public policy, and Is expected to fulfil his mandate and
issue an order by the end of April.
"Our first preference has always been for municipalities to develop local solutions to
reduce cosls and provide services more efficiently," said Leech. 'Slnce it appears that
a local solution is not forthcoming, we have agreed to the request by seven focal
municipalities to appoint a commission."
"Dr. Meyboom has a wealth of experience. I am confident he will develop the best
proposal possible for Kent County and Chatham,' Leach added.
A number of restructuring proposals have been developed within Kent County since
1995, but none has obtained the required SUpport from the municipalities amfthe
county.
"The three municipalities in South Kent alone estimate savings of $1.3 million annually
from an amalgamation and a further separation from the county: said Leach. "The time
for simply studying restructuring at the expense of local taxpayers is over."
The role of a commission is to review previous restructuring studies, draft a proposal
and consult with municipalities and the public. A commission is appointed at the
request of municipalities to .resolve a deadlock in restructuring negotiations.
'We're certain this commission will produce a proposal in which local taxpayers will
benefit,. Leach added. 'Everyone agrees less government and more affordable .
services must be our primary goal."

AECB publishes 1996 radiation exposures from"
Darlington and Pickering nuclear stations
.,
OTTAWA - In the latest edition of its information bulletin, the Radiation Monitor, the
Atomic Energy ControlBo~ (AECB) indicates that ipe total public radiation exposures from the
Darlington and Pickering nuclear. generating stations during 1996 remained extremely low.
The most recent AECB Radiation Monitor shows that, for the three-month period from
October I to December 31, 1996, the public radiation doses. due to the operation of the
Darlington and Pickering stations were 1.1 and 1.8 microsieverts, respectively. This brings the
total for 1996 to 4.7 microsieverts for Dadington and 11.3 microsieverts for Pickering. In
comparison, a typical chest X-ray produces a dose of approximately 70 microsieverts, while a
return flight from Toronto to Vancouver would result in an increased dose from cosmic radiation
of about 20 microsieverts.
The doses indicated due to the operation of the nuclear stations are for the most exposed
persons, typically those living just outside the station boundary. Most persons in the region would
have received less, since radiation doses decrease significantly as the distance from the stations
Increases.
Copies of the Radiation Monitor or related information may be obtained directly from the
AECB by calling 1-800-668-5284.
-30-
· The radiation dose is a measure of the quantity of radiation absorbed by the body. It is nonnaIly measured
in units of miIlisieverts (mSv - one thousandth of a sievert) or in microsieverts (IlSv - one millionth of a
sievert)..The latter unit is used in the Radiation Monitor.

Note: Natural background radiation, the annual legal limit for station emissions, and the dose from a typical X-ray
are provided for reference. Emissions are in addition to background radiation.
The radiation doses due to emissions are for the
most exposed persons living near the station. They would
typlcaliy apply to persons living just outside the station
boundary who are at their residences 24' hours i1 oay, who
drink local water and milk, and eat local fish and produce.
The doses were calculated using actual data from routine
analysis of air. water, milk, fish and vegetation samples, as
weli as station emission data.
Most persons would actualiy receive less than the
doses indicated because they have different eating habits
or live farther away from the station. Radiation doses
decrease significantly as the distance from the station
increases. Persons living midway between the two
stations would therefore receive less than the doses
indicated for either of the stations.
Less than 3% of the radiation dose received from the
,stations was due to liquid emissions, while the remainder
was a result of airborne eniissions.

SUBJECT: Notification Requirements for Committee of Adjustment ALL WARDS
. Applications
Planning Act (Bill 20)
f I
I 1.0 BACKGROUND
On May 22, 1996, the Land Use Planning and Protection Act 1995 (Bill 20) was proclaimed into
. law. One of the many implementation changes involved new notification requirements for
Committee of Adjustment (C. of A.) applications. These new notification requirements are
outlined in Ontario Regulation 200/96 and more onerous than those contained in the previous
. Planning Act and in some cases add significant costs to the municipality in the processing of an
application.
I The purpose of this report is:
<. (a) to make City Council aware of the changes made concerning the notification regulations
for C. of A. applications; and
I'
, (b) to request the Province to revise the notification requirements in order to make them more
I
cost effective.
I
.. 2.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
. Attachment .No. I to this report is a copy of the October 1996 Newsletter of the Ontario
Association of Committees of Adjustment and Consent Authorities. TIlls document outlines
, other municipal concerns for the processing time and cost implications of the new notification
! procedures for Committee of Adjustment and Consent applications.

,
,
:1 3.0 ANALYSIS
i
" I
Under the previous Planning Act the notice of a C. of A. application was required to be given at
least ten days prior to the hearing to a number of persons, agencies and departments. Notice was
, I to be given to all assessed owners of land lying within 60 metres (197 ft.) of the site subject to
the application. In the event that a condominium corporation was located within 60 metres
I (197 ft.) of the subject site, then notice may be given to the condominium corporation instead of

being given to all owners assessed in respect of the condominium development. In the case of
minor variance applications to regulations that involved single detached, semi-detached or
duplex housing, the area of notification could be reduced to 30 metres (98 ft.).
Under the current notice requirements notice of a C. of A. application must be given at least 10
days prior to the hearing and must be done in accordance with one of the following three options:
Option I
(a) Giving notice by personal service or prepaid first class mail to every owner ofland within
60 metres (197 ft.) of the area to which the application applies. However, if a
condominium deveiopment is located within 60 metres (197 ft.) of the subject site notice
may be given to the condominium corporation instead of being given to all owners
assessed in respect of the condominium development; and by
(b) Posting a notice, clearly visible and legible from a public highway or other place to which
the public has access, at every separately assessed property in the area to which the
application applies or where posting on the property is impractical at a nearby location
chosen by the secretary-treasurer. The sign must include the following information:
~.
.~"
(i) The date, time and location of the hearing.
(ii) An explanation of the purpose and effect of the proposed minor variance or
permtSSlon.
(iii) Where and when additional information regarding the application will be
available to the public for inspection.
(iv) How to obtain a copy of the written notice of the hearing.
Option 2
Gi\ing notice by personal service or prepaid first class mail to every person assessed in respect
ofland (i.e. owners & tenants) within 60 metres (197ft.) of the area to which the application
applies.
Option 3
Giving notice by publication in a newspaper that, in the opinion of the secretary-treasurer, is of
sufficiently general circulation in the area to which the application applies to give the public
reasonable notice of the hearing.
The new C. of A. requirements continue to permit the area of notification to be reduced to 30
metres (98 ft.) for those minor variance applications that relate to single-detached, semi-detached
or duplex housing.

The City's present practice is to give notice as per Option 2 to all assessed owners and tenants
within 60 metres (197 ft.) of the area to which the application applies. In the case of minor
variance applications involving single-detached, semi-detached and duplex housing, the City
gives notice to all assessed owners and tenants within 30 metres (98 ft.) of the subject site.
Options I and 3 were not chosen since they are impractical and in certain cases more costly. For
example posting a sign on a property as per Option I is impractical because of the amount of
detailed information that is required to be on the sign and the cost of the sign. In addition, if the
applicant does not post the sign at the right time then the C. of A. notice would not be properly
given and another hearing would have to be held. Similarly in Option 3 preparing a newspaper
notice would not be cost effective and would cause administrative delays in the processing of a'l
application.
':r
:1
ft
;,
Changes to the C. of A. notice requirements have resulted in cost increases to local
municipalities across Ontario particularly in urban areas. For example. in Oshawa, this
Department processed two C. of A. applications in the last 1'/. years for 148 Stevenson Road
South, a property situated on the west side of Stevenson Road South across from the Oshawa
Centre. The first application was processed in 1995 under the previous provisions of the
Planning Act and the other application was processed in 1996 under the current provisions of the
Planning Act. Only 20 notices were given to neighbouring property owners for the 1995
application. However, 248 notices were given to owners and tenants within the area of
notification for the 1996 application. In this case, the increase in the number of notices and the
resultant cost was directly related to the requirement to provide notices to all the tenants within
the notice area including the tenants in the Oshawa Centre. This situation will also occur for
applications in higher density residential areas, such as the Nonquon Road area, where notices
must now be given to both owners and tenants in the apartment buildings and the condominium
projects in the area of notification.
J
;j
.'
)
.,
Experience indicates that tenants do not normally make a presentation to the C. of A. with
respect to an application. In some cases, we have experienced an eXtremely hi~ post office
return of tenant notices particularly since tenants have moved.
4.0 CONCLUSION
The changes concerning notification requirements for C. of A. applications have increased
municipal COsts and processing time. The new notification requirements are inconsistent with
provincial statements encouraging increased efficiency in the planning process particularly
during this time of budget constraints. Therefore, it is recommended that the Ministry of
Municipal AffiDrs and Housing be requested to review the notice requirements for C. of A.
applications with a view of reducing costs and streamlining the planning process. The previous
notice requirements prior to Bill 20 are preferred by this Department.

5.0 RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended:
I. That the report of the Commissioner of Development and Planning Services, dated
January 22, 1997, Item No. 11-97, be received for information purposes and that the
Province be requested to review and change the notice requirements as set out in Ontario
Regulation 200/96 for Committee of Adjustment applications in order to reduce costs and
streamline the planning process.
2. That a copy of the report of the Commissioner of Development and Planning Services,
dated January ~2, 1997, Item No. 11-97, be forwarded to the Minister of Municipal
Affairs and Housing, all local Durham MPPs and the municipalities of Pickering, Ajax.,
Whitby and Clarington for their information.

NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSENT
APPLICATIONS
As a fonow-up to David Brown's article entitled Bill 163, in
the November edition of the OACA Newsletter, I would like to
advise that the Township of North Dorchester drculates
notices to tenants as weD as ownen. The Act stipulates .that
notice rn ust be mailed to every assessed person as shown on.
the last revised assessment roD... '. Indeed, both tenants and
owners are included in the assessment TOn.
The one difficulty that our municipality has encountered is
that the tenants as listed in the roD book are in a lot of cases
outdated and therefore notices are returned to the
municipality. As a result, we label such envelopes as '1'enant
at (address)'.

notification p~ures for Appncations for Consents.
The changes to the notifICation procedure were approved by
the previous Ontario government in 1995 and require

Committee adopted the mailing out of notices to "every
person assessed within 60 metres of the subject land..." since
it was detennined, at that lime. that the other two provisions
would be too e:xpensive and too onerous a process. Owing
the past year, we have experienced a substantial increase in
the cost for the drcuIalion of these appncations, especially in
sWf lime and mailing costs. Fluthennore, with the recent
passage of Bill 20, we are now required to adopt a similar
procedure for the circulation of Applications for Minor

Class Environmental Assessment for Additional Water Pollution
Control Plant Capacity to Service the Whitby, Oshawa and
Clarington (Courtice) Urban Areas
-.
1..0 BACKGROUND
Whe Region of Durham is undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to identify a
Lethod of providing additional water pollution control plant capacity for the Whitby, Oshawa
and Courtice urban areas that is consistent with the long term servicing requirements identified in
te Durham Region Official Plan (DROP). :
Jopulation growth and planned development, particularly within the Oshawa and Courtice urban
reas, has resulted in the need to plari for additional water pollution control plant capacity within
these communities. Flow records for the Harmony Creek. Water Pollution Control Plant which
rervices the eastern portion of Oshawa and Courtice urban area indicate that the facility is
ireaching its design capacity. The establishment and/or development of additional waste water
treatment plant capacity requires the project to be planned under the Class EA Process for
IMuniciPal Wastewater Projects.
A Public Information Center in relation to this Class EA was held on November 7, 1996, for the
, lIPurposes of presenting project information and to receive pubHc ~mments in relation,to th" first
'-stage of the EA process. A Project Information Document outlining the scope of the proposed
problem and seeking preliminary comments on the identified problem statement, evaluative
Icriteria, proposed alternatives and desired level of involvement with this project, was circulated
to the City by the project consultants, Totten, Simms, Hubicki Limited.
liThe Project Information Document is not attached here due to its length. Copies ~f this
document may be obtained from the Planning Branch, Department of Development and Planning
I Services, on the 7th Floor of Rundle Tower. .
! The purpose of this report is to advise City Council of this Class EA process and to forward a
I I response to the project consultants and the Region of Durham .

Exhibit No. 1 is an excerpt from the Regional Sanitary Sewerage Planning Study (August 19-)5)
which identifies the study area for the provision of sanitary sewerage facilities within Whitt:y,
Oshawa and Courtice based upon the current DROP expansion areas.
2.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
2,1 Public Works Services Department
The Public Works Services Department has reviewed the Project Information Document and has
advised that it supports the Class EA process being undertaken and will offer more detailed
comment at later stages in the process.
3.0 ANALYSIS
3.1 Regional Sanitary Sewerage Planning Study Part ill - Town of Whitby, City of
Oshawa, Municipality of Clarington (Courtice) - August 1995
In 1995, the Regional Sanitary Sewerage Planning Study was completed. lbis study concluded
that projected population growth within the Whitby, Oshawa, and Courtice urban areas would
result in the requirement for additional water pollution control plant capacity.
The report identified the existing sanitary sewerage works in the Whitby/OshawalCoumce urban
area as consisting of the foHowing three systems:
.,,:~
(a) The existing sanitary sewerage works for the western portion of the Town of Whitby
consisting of two trunk sanitary sewer systems and five sewage pumping stations which
coHeet and convey sewage flows to the Pringle Creek Water PoHution Control Plant
.
"
(b) The existing sanitary sewerage works for the eastern portion of the Town of Whitby and the
western portion of the City of Oshawa consisting of the three trunk sanitary sewer systems
and five sewage pumping stations which coHect and convey sewage flows to the recently
upgraded Corbett Creek Water Pollution Control Plant.
(c) The existing sanitary sewerage works for the eastern portion of the City of Oshawa and
Courtice consisting of four trunk sanitary sewer systems and six sewage pumping stations
which coHect and convey sewage flows to the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control
Plant.
3.2 Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant
The existing Harmony Creek Water PoHution Control Plant consists of two plants. Plant No. I
is a trickling filter plant, constructed in 1952, that serves the central portion of the City of
Oshawa. Plant No. 2 is a conventional activated sludge plant, constructed in 1972, that services
the eastern portion of the City of Oshawa as well as Courtice. The Harmony Creek Water

I .
Pollution Control Plant is currently meeting environmental standards, however, there are several
Feas of concern related to the plant's operation and design. Plant No. I is over 40 years old and
.lUst be rehabilitated or replaced if existing plant capacity is to be maintained. Any expansion of
this facility to increase its capacity will require significant upgrades to include a new effluent
liSinfection system. In addition, the existing Lake Ontario shoreline discharge outfall of this
acility does not meet current design guidelines. Current design standards require an offshore
discharge outfall. Accordingly, if the plant is to be upgraded, a new offshore discharge outfall
tOUld be required in addition to an effluent pwnping station.
Ee 1995 Regional Sanitary Sewerage Planning Study also concluded that the Harmony Creek
. ;Vater Pollution Control Plant, _now in .its 40th year of operation, was reaching its projected
esign capacity, and that substantial rehabilitation would be required to meet present operational
.equirements and to remain consistent with provincial guidelines. Upgrading of the facility may
I'e required as early as 1999 using Regional projections if no decision is made concerning the
development of new plant facilities or the diversion of flow to other existing facilities. The
Ixpansion potential of the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant is constrained by the
vailability ofland on site to construct new facilities and by its proximity to the enviromnentally
sensitive Second Marsh.
lttachment No.1 to this report is a copy of a schematic from the Project Information Document
that illustrates the existing and projected sewerage flows through the Harmony Creek Water
1I>0llution Control Plant in comparison to the existing and potential capacity of the site based on
~ nwnber of population growth scenarios. This figure shows the capacity of the Harmony Creek
~ant being reached in 1999 based upon the population targets in the DROP; in 2002 based upon
e average population growth of the Region; and in 2007 based on the average growth of the
shawalCourtice urban area.
1.3 Initiation of the Class Environmental Assessment (EA)
re Class EA for this project includes the following five phases:
Phase 1 Identify the problem or deficiency
lhase 2 Identify planning alternatives to resolve the problem and , by taking into account public
and related government review agency inputs, select the preferred planning alternative.
~hase 3 Examine alternative design concepts for the implementation of the preferred planning
I solution and select the preferred desigu concept based upon the existing environment,
public and related government agency input.
IPhase 4 Document. in an Enviromnental Study Report (ESR), the planning process and provide
opportunity for public review and comment for a minimwn of 30 days.
I
I
~':i.J.
Phase 5 Design and prepare contract drawings and documents. Proceed with construction and
monitor construction and operation to ensure adherence to environmental provisions
and effluent quality requirements.
The process is currently in Phase 1. The Region of Durham Works Department has indicated
that the completion of Phase I is anticipated in Spring 1997. lbis phase will conclude with a
report that considers the public and agency input to the process. Phase 2 is anticipated to be
initiated following completion of Phase I and completed in the fall of 1997.
3.4 Problem Statement
The problem statement identified for this project has been summarized from the Project
Information Document as follows:
The Corbett Creek Water Pollution Control Plant has just been expanded to provide additional
water pollution control capacity for the western' portion of Oshawa and the eastern portion of
Whitby. However, the problem of providing additional water pollution control plant capacity for
the OshawalCourtice area remains. Additional capacity, over or above the present plant-rated
capacity, may be required at the Hannony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant as early as 1999.
In addition, the existing trickling filter plant at the Hannony Water Pollution Control Plant is
nearing the end of its useful life without major rehabilitation and/or upgrading.
3.5 Evaluative Criteria
The process to date h3s identified five basic screening criteria for each of the alternatives as
follows:
1. The preferred alternative must provide the Region with the opportunity to service the
estimated level of development as provided by the current DROP in a sequential manner.
2. The preferred alternative must not put undue fmancial burden on the Region and its
ratepayers.
. 3. The preferred alternative must be flexible to allow the' Region to reSpond to future
modifications to the DROP.
4. The preferred alternative must be reliable and based upon proven technologies.
5. The preferred alternative must minimize environmental impact and all identified impacts and
must be amenable to mitigation.
The five screening criteria will be subjected to public and review agency comment and will be
refined and updated as the Region proceeds with the Class EA.

I These criteria are sound and are supportec;L However, a sixth criterion should be added to reflect
the ongoing considerations now taking place concerning local and regional government in
I Durham. Any preferred alternative must be sufficiently flexible to changes in local governance
in Durham. For instance, the preferred option should adequately consider various possible
adjustments to local governance in the Region that may be implemented by the Province.
I Possible options could include circumstances where the Region of Durham may be replaced by a
Greater Toronto Area Servicing Board or by one or more larger local municipalities.
13.6 Proposed Alternatives
;.
,. A preliminary list of alternatives for addressing the issues has been prepared by the study
consultants as part of this process. A preferred alternative will be selected at a subsequent stage
of the EA process. The five alternatives are presented below together with appropriate comment.
13.6.1 Alternative One: Expand the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant
I Under this alternative, the existing Harmony and Corbett Creek facilities would be expanded as
necessary to accommodate the growth of the Whitby/OshawalCourtice urban area as set out in
I the DROP and no new trea~~nt facility ~ould be construct~~ Plant No.1. (trickling ~lter plant)
at the Harmony Creek faclhty would likely be decommissioned after Its useful life ana be
replaced. In addition, Plant No.2 at Harmony Creek would eventually have to be replaced at the
I conclusion of its useful life, estimated to be within 15 to 20 years. Under this alternative,
additional lands at the Harmony Creek facility would be required beyond the existing plant site
to protect the ability to expand the plant to a required capacity. In addition, if the capacity of the
I Hannony Creek facility is to be expanded, expansion of certain trunk mains in the City woUld be
required to accommodate projected capacity flows.

Staff Comment
It is important to note that because of the generality of the alternatives, the extent to which the
. Harmony Creek facility would be expande;i has not be determined a~ this st.age. In addition, the
various impacts such as environmental, social and economic have not yet been evaluated. .
'.
3.6.2. Alternative Two: Construct a New Water Pollution Control Plant in South Courtice
This alternative involves the construction of a new water pollution control plant in south
Courtice. An additional sewage pumping station and forcemain would also have to be
constructed to transfer excess sewage flows from the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control
Plant to the new facility. Under this alternative, the Harmony Creek facility would not be
expanded and Plant No. 1 could be either phased out or replaced. Plant No. 2 at the Harmony
Creek facility would likely be utilized to the end of its useful life. A new facility in Courtice
v,,'Ould be designed and sufficiently sized to accommodate the servicing requirements for the
Oshawa and Courtice areas.
243
Staff Comment
At this preliminary stage, this alternative would seem to be;the preferred alternative.
3.6.3 Alternative Three: Divert flow from the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control
Plant Drainage Area to an Existing Water Pollution Control Plant
Under this alternative, flows from the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant Drainage
Area could be diverted to an existing water pollution control plant in Whitby or Ajax (i.e.
Corbett Creek or Duffin Creek Plants) and no additional capacity would be developed at the
Harmony Creek Plant.
Staff Comment
Alternative three removes the requirement to expand the Harmony Creek Water Pollution
Control Plant in the short term, and allows for the decommissioning or replacement of Plant
No.1. Since this alternative does not involve the construction of new or additional treatment
capacity, it provides no long term solution for the effective servicing of the Nonh Oshawa and
the Counice urban areas in accordance with the DROP. In this respect, this alternative does not
represent a viable solution.
3.6.4. Alternative Four: Sewage Flow Reductions Through Inflowllnfiltration Reductions
and Water Conservation Methods
~
The fourth alternative involves the reduction of sewage flows through inflow/infiltration
reductions and water conservation methods. This option is merely a supply management option
aimed at the extension of current on-site capacities of all existing facilities.
Staff Comment
,
This alternative is not intended to alleviate the problem associated with havijlg insufficient
capacity, instead it serves to better manage both facility capacity and other servicing
considerations. While this option should be explored and implemented as appropriate as a means
of reducing the operating costs of existing and future treatinent fiiCilities, it does not address the
need to establish a strategy to service future development areas in the Region.
3.6.5 Alternative Five: Do Nothing
This alternative is based on maintaining the existing system and expanding only to the maximum
capacity currently achievable. The result would be limited development as sewage flows
approach treatment capacity. Dependent upon the rate of growth realized this could limit all new
gro\>,'lh in nonh Oshawa and Courtice as early as 1999 .

Staff Comment
This alternative does not provide a long term approach for providing effective servicing for the
Northeast Oshawa and Courtice urban areas as set out in the DROP and is not supported.
3.6.6 Preferred Alternative
The Project Information Document states that based on a preliminary evaluation of technical
performance, estimated construction costs, economic analysis and sensitivity analysis, (flexibility
to react to changes and requirements), the construction of a new Courtice Water Pollution
Control Plant and expansion of the existing Corbett Creek Water Pollution Control Plant were
identified as the preferred servicing concept. It is important to note that this prefem:d alternative
is preliminary in nature and is subject to further review through this EA process.
The preferred servicing concept embodies a combination of Alternatives I and 2.
4.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Not applicable.
5.0 CONCLUSION
Developing a long term approach to meeting the sanitary servicing requirements for growth in
the Region is necessary and accordingly, the process of preparing a Class EA for future water
pollution control facilities in the Whitby/OshawalCourtice urban area is supported.
As noted above, the only viable options provided in the Project Information Document for
meeting the long term servicing needs of the Whitby/OshawalCourtice urban area are expressed
in Alternative One (Expand the Harmony Creek Plant) and Alternative Two (Construct a New
Courtice Water Treatment J?lant). The preferred alternative identified in the document is a
combination of expanding the Corbett Creek facility and constructing a new Courtice facility.
At this preliminary stage of the Class EA process, there is an insufficient level of information
available to make a decision concerning either Alternative One or Two or a combination of both.
Alternatives Three and Four do not by themselves represent a solution to the need to devise a
strategy to meet the water pollution control needs of the Whitby/OshawalCourtice urban areas
and are not supported. Alternative Five (Do nothing), a standard option included in the Class EA
planning process, does not advance a water pollution control strategy and is not supported.
The age and functional deficiencies of the Harmony Creek Water Pollution Control Plant
facilities and the site size present significant constraints to expanding this site to accommodate
the long term servicing needs of the Whitby/OshawalCourtice urban area. In addition, the
location of the Harmony Creek facility relative to the environmentally sensitive Second Marsh
'i~
- 8 -
245
present serious constraints to the expansion of this facility. The EA process may provide the
opportunity to consider a long term strategy for the decommissioning of this facility and the
construction of a new facility in Courtice that is properly designed and located to meet the long
term needs of the Whitby/OshawalCourtice urban area
The City should defer concluding a position in favor of Alternative One _ Expand the Harmony
Creek Plant or Alternative Two- Construct a New Courtice Plant until the project documentation
for Phase I of the EA process is completed in order to afford an opportunity to review how these
alternatives measure up against the assessment criteria established for this process. A report to
Council will be prepared upon completion of Phase Two of the EA process at which time
information will be available as to the outcome of the analysis of alternatives against the
evaluative criteria. In this regard, the Region should consider the additional criterion as set out in
Section 3 .50f this report.
The Region of Durham should be advised that the City ofOshawa wishes to be actively involved
and consulted throughout this EA process.
6.0 RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended:
<;
I. That the report of the Commissioner of Development and Planning Services, dated
January 20, 1997, Item No. 9-97, concerning the initiation of a Class Environmental
Assessment for additional water pollution control plant capacity to service the Whitby,
Oshawa and Clarington (Courtice) Urban Areas, be endorsed as the City of Oshawa's
comments on the Project Information Document submitted.
2. That a copy of the report of the Commissioner of Development and Planning Services,
dated January 20, 1997, Item No. 9-97, be forwarded to the Region of Durham and

amendments from Provincial approval, and
. to present and obtain endorsement of an approach for the exemption of
area municipal official plan amendments from the Region's approval.
2. Background
l<
',-,,,
2.1 The amended Planning Act (the "Act") allows the Minister of Municipal Affairs
and Housing (MMAH), by order, to exempt the Durham Regional Official Plan
or any or all Regional Plan amendments from Ministerial approval, subject to
such conditions as may be applied. The Act also provides for the Minister to
authorize the Region, by order, to pass a by-law to exempt any or all local
official plans or amendments from Regional approval. This exemption would
be subject to such conditions as may be required by the Region. The Act
provides that all exempt decisions are subject to a 20-day appeal period.
2.2 On November 18, 1996, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
released a Proposed Exemption Implementation Strategy (refer to Attachment
1). The Strategy proposes to exempt the Region's Official Plan and
Amendments from the Minister's approval, by July of 1997.
3. Exemotion of the Reoional Official Plan and Amendments from Aooroval
3.1 The proposed exemption recognizes the maturity of the Regional planning
process, which has evolved over the last 20 years. It would streamline the
approval process by further reducing the direct involvement of the Province in
planning in Durham Region. Exemption will further enhance the role of
regional planning. Council's decisions on the Official Plan and amendments.
will be the primery mechanisms for implementing Provincial policy. It is
recommended that Council indicate to the Minister its support for this
proposel.

3.2 Implementation of this action would necessitate some changes to current
Council procedures for processing Regional Official Plan amendments. This
would be undertaken through a further report to Planning Committee.
3.3 As a condition of the exemption order, the Minister proposes that the Region
continue to consult with MMAH prior to adoption of an official plan or
amendment. This will ensure that Regionel Council has the Provincial policy
perspective and can "have regard for if' in its decisions. In the event the
Minister does not agree, the Regional decision can be appealed within the 20
day appeal period.
4. Exemotion of Local Official Plans and Amendments from Regional Approval
4.1 The proposed MMAH Strategy also refers to an opportunity provided in the
Planning Act for the Region to exempt area municipal official plans and
amendments from the current Regional approval process, subject to
conditions as may be set out by the Region. To implement this, the Act
provides the Region with the opportunity to pass a by-law specifying the
conditions under which exemptions would apply. An approach allowing
exemptions where there are no Regional policy or Provincial policy
implications is considered to have merit.
It is noted that the Region is required by the Act to ensure implementation of
Regional and Provincial planning policies. This accountability applies whether
or not an official plan or amendment is exempt.
Where an official plan or amendment is exempt, the only recourse left to the
Region will be to appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMS) within 20 days
of the local Council decision. Sill 20 provides no options for the "informal"
review and adjustment of exempted official plan amendments other than
through an OMB hearing. The current approval process provides the Region
with the opportunity to seek solutions with the affected parties and thus
minimize the issues before the Soard.
Once an official plan or amendment is appealed to the OMS, a Council cannot
"take back" the matter, even if a solution is found.

4.2 While exemptions are considered to have merit, it is not recommended for
official plans and complex amendments. These documents are
comprehensive and, unless scrutinized in detail, can have significant
implications on Regional policy and infrastructure programs, as well as
provincial interests. If a local official plan were exempt, the only recourse
would be for the Region to appeal, which is not desirable. The current
approach, where Regional Council considers approval of the official plan,
provides an opportunity for ensuring conformity with Regional policy, having
regard for provincial policy, problem solving and reducing differences between
parties.
4.3 In other circumstances, many site-specific or issue-specific local amendments
that currently require Regional approval, are small in scale or technical in
nature: They usually do not affect regional or provincial policy interests. This
type of amendment should be exempt.
,.
.,'
4.4 In anticipation of a Ministerial exemption order in the near future, it is
proposed that Council endorse an approach that will exempt certain types of
amendments from Regional approval. Criteria for exempting local official plan
amendments have been identified. These criteria can be used as the basis
for preparing a Regional by-law and other implementation actions. The
following criteria are recommended:
. exemption of text amendments or site-specific amendments that are
not comprehensive (Official plan, or a secondary plan, or a major
policy change affecting such matters as settlement area bounderies
and environmentally sensitive areas are considered comprehensive);
. conformity to the Durham Regional Official Plan;
. regard for the Provincial Policy Statement;
. compliance with other matters of Regional interest, such es any
Regional by-law, approved capital budget, infrastructure cape cities or
technical requirements under other legislation (eg. MOEE Guidelines
for contaminated sites);
. consistency with the Region's adopted procedures for the processing of
Area Municipal Official Plan Amendments;

. consultation with the Region on the proposed official plan amendment
upon initiation and prior to adoption, and incorporation of modifications
recommended by the Region to address matters of regional and
provincial policy; and
. certification by the area municipality's planning official that any changes
made to the adopted official plan amendment by the Area Municipal
Council, subsequent to the Region providing comments, do not conflict
with concerns, modifications and requirements previously specified by
the Regional Planning Department.
4.5 An examination of local official plan amendments processed by the Region
since 1994, indicates that approximately half of the amendments would have
qualified for exemption. From the applicant's perspective, the time savings
from the new exemption procedure, would be in the order of 5 to 10 days per
amendment. Staff time would not be required to review and prepare reports
and documents for approvals. Therefore, there are some identifiable savings
for the Region. Administrative responsibility for issuing a final "Notice of
Decision" and certifying compliance with the statutory requirements would be
activities transferred to the area municipalities through exemption.
4.6 Implementation of the proposed exemption approach for area municipal
official plan amendments, will require the preparation of administrative
procedures. Procedures will be prepared and brought forward, after
consultation with the area municipalities.
5. Conclusion
5.1 On the basis of the above, it is recommended:
· that Council inform the Minister of MuniCipal Affairs and Housing that it
supports the proposed time-table for exempting the Durham Regional
Official Plan and Amendments from Ministerial approval;
· that Council adopt criteria for exemption of certain types of area
municipal official plan amendments from Regional approval;
09
Commissioner's Report No. 97 -P-13

. that the Regional Solicitor be authorized to bring forward a Regional
By-law to implement these exemption provisions for area municipal
official plan amendments;
· that amendments to Council's procedures for processing Regional
official pla'namendments and area municipal official plan amendments
be prepared in anticipation of aforementioned Ministerial orders; and
· that the Planning Department consult with area municipal staff during
the preparation of new procedures for exempting area municipal official
plan amendments.

Dear Head of Council:
(Please circulate copies to councillors and senior staff)
As President of Motels Ontario, which represents small businesses in e'l
Ontario, I am writing to provide you, your council, and your senior s';a
perspective on Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs).
municipality in
with a balanced
Many municipal councils are getting only part of the story about VLTs;T those who have
a vested interest to oppose them. Motels Ontario supports legalizing 'II s in Ontario. We
agree with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and other p lice officials that
legalizing VLTs will reduce the market for the 20,000 illegal machin':f already operating
within our province.
Enclosed for your information are four brief articles and a backgroul!>,.1: resP"'lXhed and
pub!i~hed l:y the Ont.;.-lu HUbpitaiiry CoalitIon, of which Motels Ontarb is a member, .that
provide a more balanced and objective view of the VLT issue.
Unfortunately, much of today's media coverage of VLTs tends to be It. 'e emotional than
factual. For example, rarely does the media mention that more than 95 ~~ f Ontarians have
absolutely NO PROBLEM with gambling, and that only 1 % are at risk of: oming addictive i
gamblers (versus 9% for beverage alcohol).
Neither is there any mention of .the fact that, according to the foren'St authorities on
addiction and problem gambling, there is no evidence to support sugge~'.Cf!S that VLTs ar~
any more addictive than other forms of gambling.
1
And according to a recent report of the National Council on Welfare, t,Javerage weekly
expenditure on gambling in Canada, where eight other provinces already:\ve legal VLTs.,
.
is $4.04. This is the cost of package of cigarettes and about one-third of 'fe amount spent
on beverage alcohol. .
Founded in 1949, Motels Ontario is the non-profit trade association repre "l1ting Ontario's
independent accommodation industry. With 900 members province-wide, I<:b~J~ Ontario ba8
far more !!-:!:~=Y.!~:;on prcp;;itk; h... iiUt:1J.lOership than any' other )~-ario tourism
association. Our members are all independent (non-chain) small businesses, : lC~' often family
owned and operated. We currently represent 60% of Ontario's motel iDl~t.j'. Besides
motels, our members include hotels, resorts, country inns, bed & breakfasts ouifitter lodges,
and restaurants. About one-third of our members are licensed to serve bevp,rage\clcohol. By
choice, we receive no government funding whatsoever. We provide our :nem;:iers with 30-

We hope that the enclosed material will allow your council and staff to understand ALL sides
of the VLT issue. If you have any questions, please contact me.

To hear the critics. a Video
Lottery Terminal (VLT) is
the snake in the Garden of
Eden of gambling, the most
insidious fonn of gambling
ever invented.
But that's not the conclu-
sions of a scholarly analysis
of VLT gaming by Professor
of Economics Dr. Christian
Marfels of Dalhousie
University.
"VLT play is casual play
in a casual atmosphere," he
wrote. "]t is great entertain-
ment at low Cost...play is
unintimidating and straight-
forward."
For non-gamblers or
casual gamblers, whose
image of gambling is the
lonery or the tense faces cir-
cling a roulene table, this is
a bit bewildering. Isn't all
gambling the same?
According to the Marfels
study, not really.
VLTs allow someone to
playa band of cands against
a machine for 25 cents a
play, with a maximum jack-
pot of $500 or $1,000 paid
by collecting on a ticket.
VLTs are not slot
machines such as are found
at casinos. where coins pour
out with a payoff, and jack-
pots can exceed S I million.
But the most important
difference between VLTs
and most other forms of
gambling is that studies
show few people go to a bar
just to gamble. No one goes

to a casino. or buys a lottery
ticket, except to gamble.
"People go to bars and
be verage rooms after work
to have a heer, meet friends,
and playa bit. VLTs fit per-
fectly into the environment
of having a drink, talking to
friends, and just feeling
comfonable," Dr. Marfels
wrote.
The average VLT player,
a fully employed male 25 to
44 years-of-age, plays once .
or twice a week for 30 min-
utes at a time and spends
about $10 each time.
This contrasts sharply
with other forms of gam-
bling such as casinos, chari-
ty casinos, or even bingo.
All three are what is known
in technical terms as "desti-
nation-driven," albeit bingo
is also a social activity for
many people.
Dr. Marfels quotes casi-
no industry expert Ivan
Sack on the distinction:
"The general impression is
that people go to a casino to
game and maybe have a
drink, while they go to a bar
to drink, and maybe playa
VLT."
Contrary to the views of
some critics of VLTs, what
the machines can't do is
increase the level of prob-
lem or addictive gambling.
"You can't make an
addict. We can do it with
rats, but we can't do it with
people. You've got to be
'P,
predisposed before you can
hecome an addict." the
Ontario Conference on
Problem Gambling was told
by Dr. Durand Jabobs, an
American addiction expen
and professor of psychiatry
at Lorna Linda University
School of Medicine.
"I can't sit you down in a
chair here and just keep
pouring alcohol down your
throat, day after day, until
yoU become addicted. You
may drown. but you won't
become addicted. And the
same is true with gam-
bling."
According to Dr. Jacobs,
who has studied problem
gambling for mOre than 30
years. simply playing a VLT
won't make an addict.
Jacob's views are backed
by a study done at the
University of Windsor
which shows that the intro-
duction of a major new form
of gambling like a casino, or
VLTs, does not increase the
prevalence of problem or
compulsive gambling.
The evidence is people
don't spend a lot of time or
money on gambling. According
to the recently released report of
the National Council of
Welfare, the average per capita
spending on gambling in
Ontario was S4.D3 a week. 1bis
compares with an average
expendiwre of $]] per week on
beverage alcohol.

"'
Legal VLTs fight crime
"':
Far from being the crack
cocaine of gambling, legal
VL Ts are the answer to a
policeman's prayer," former
OPP deputy commissioner
Jim Szarka said in an inter-
view.
VLTs, or Video Lottery
Tenninals, which have been
recently legalized by the
Ontario government, are
expected to displace hun-
dreds of millions of dollars
of illegal gambling business
in the province once they
come into operation.
"Those municipal Coun-
cils rejecting VLTs are miss-
ing the point. Illegal
machine gambling already
exists in their towns. Legal
amusement machines are
being used in illegal ways.
"There are no controls to
curb dishonest play, and
society gains no benefit
from the profits," Szarka
said.
Amusement machines
include everything from
coin-operated pool tables to
video poker machines.
Althougb there is supposed
to be no payout from the
machines and it is illegal to
bet upon the results, they
can be misllsed.
Szarka gave the example
of "amusement only" video
poker machines where wins
are scored in points. If'
someone Wants to play for
money, the bar will give a
cash reward to' anyone who
hits a cenain point level.
The scale of the current
problem is enormous. The
OPP estimate 20,000
amusement machines being
used today in an illegal way
in Ontario pull S I billion a
year into the underground
economy.
uOr2anized crime is
in vOlved, the bikers are
involved. and other crimi-
nals are involved in these
things. It's just too lucrative
for them to simply abandon
it." Sgt. Larry Moodie of the
OPP Anti-Rackets Branch
said.
Playing of legal VLTs, on
the other hand, is closely
regulated by the government
and monitored by computers
to ensure honest payouts.
For every dollar wagered,
92 cents is returned to play-
ers. The remaining proceeds
are divided between the
province. charities, the VL1'"
operators and bar owners.
It was the possibility of
these unsavory connections
that led the Ontario Video
Gaming Corporation
(OVGC), the leading con-
tender in the bid to imple-
ment government-regulated
VLT operations in Ontario,
to reject any connection
with the amusement
machine operators. Szarka
is an OVGC director.
"According to the police,
some of those associated
with the coin-operated
amusement industry have
bad reputations, question-
able backgrounds aod crimi-
nal associations," OVGC
President - and former
Assistant Deputy Attorney-
General and director of the
Ontario Strike Force
Against Organized Crime
- Marshall PollOCk said.
"When one of their orga-
nizations, the Coin Operated
Lonery Association (COLA),
came to see us, we told
them of these concerns
about some operators. They
sought a part of the action,
and warned if they didn't
get it, they would lobby
against VLTs using church
groups and charities as their
fronts," he said.
And that's exactly what
they did.
The industry newsletter,
Canadian Coin Box, con-
firmed (April, 1996) that
Ontario Amusement Asso-
ciation coordinator Gus
Ragland and COLA lawyer
Alan Young "will be work-
ing together to form a coali-
tion of groups opposed to
the introduction of a VLT
program by the Ontario
government
"We see the results of
that lobby every day when
councils unaware of the ori-
gins of the protest record
their opposition to VLTs",
Pollock noted.
"The illegal machine
operators rightly fear they'll
go out of business if forced
to compete against
machines where players can
check on the honesty of the
system," he said.
Law enforcement offi-
cials agree.
Legalization of various
forms of gambling, includ-
ing VLTs "in some prov-
inces has significantl'y
reduced illegal gambling
activities in those areas," the
chairman of the organized
crime committee of the
Canadian Association of Chiefs
of Police, OPP Commissioner
Tom O'Grady, reported in
1992-
In 1995, with almost
three years experience of
VLTs under its jurisdiction,
the Alberta Lotteries
Review Committee sur-
"eyed both city and provin-
cial (RCMP) police about
VLTs and were told that
"eliminating VLTs or drasti-
cally limiting their availabil-
il)' will only open the doors
to illegal gambling."

VLTs good for charities
The campaign against
Video Lottery Terminals
(VLTs) by various charity
gaming organizations has
VLT advocates puzzled.
Especially that led by the
break-open (sometimes
called pulltab or Nevada)
ticket people. who are
spreading fear of VLTs for
no obvious reason.
After all, VLTs and
break-open tickets don't
even appeal to the same
people. The break-open
ticket sellers, for example,
target low-income and wel-
fare recipients, while VLTs
are played by average
income, employed males.
John Iverson, who heads
one of the fIrst and largest
break-open ticket operations
in Ontario, Health Services
Promotions Inc., recently
confumed this before a leg-
islative committee:
"Our experience as a
gaming service supplier is
that the largest purchasers of
our type of product at the
50-cent level are the low-
income and welfare (peo-
ple)," he said about break-
open ticket sales.
Meanwhile. surveys
show VLTs are more the
game of choice for age-of-
majorit)' fully employed
younger males earning
$25,000 and up.
About 60 smaller munic-
ipalities that have called for
a ban on Video LOllery
Terminals claim to be react-
ing to fears !bar VLTs will
steal revenue from existing
charities. VLTs will be
introduced into Ontario later
this year.
Break-open ticket sales
in convenience stores.
together wilb bingo sales
and Monte Carlo nights
staged by ro'-ing small casi-
nos~, have been the main
sources of funds for many
Ontario charities the last
few years.
Anti. VLT organizations
such as the Break-Open
Program Management
Alliance. and Charities
First, are trying to convince
charities their total income
will fall as a result of the
arrival of VLTs, even
though the Ontario govern-
ment has earmarked 10 per
cent of VLT proceeds for
charities.
According to the gam-
bler's statistical bible,
LaFleur's World Gambling
Abstract, nowhere in North
America is there a correla-
tion between the arrival of
the gaming machines and
the decline in charitable rev-
enues from other sources.
In Alherta, for example,
the alliance claims a 40 per
cent drop in break-open rev-
enue in the two years after
VLT legalization.
But LaFleur shows that
the dramatic decline for
break-open tickets began 15
months before VLTs
arrived. The real culprit
appears to be charity casi-
nos, which were introduced
at the time the decline began
- and earlier than VLTs.
In fact, in Alberta, com-
bined break-open and chari-
ty casino revenues, when
added together, are about
where break-open tickets
were alone before either the
casinos or VLTs opened.
The main point is that
VLTs don't really compete
with any type of ticket or
10llery sales. All consumer
products tend to compete
most directly with products
having similar characteris-
tics, which VLTs and tickets
don't.
Lottery tickets are sold in
retail outlets, while VLTs
are only available in
licenced premises, where
other lottery prodUCts usual-
ly aren't sold.
"Every VLT will be tied-
in to a central computer
which will serve as a dou-
ble.check upon the reliabili-
ty of the machine and the
honesty of the game:' said
former OPP deputy com-
missioner and Ontario
Video Gaming Corporation
director Jim Szarka.
"This contrasts with
break-open tickets, which
don't even have serial num-
bers for double-checking:'
he said.
According to an offIcial
in the Allorney-General's
office in North Dakota, who
spoke at a recent gambling
regulators conference in
British Columbia, break-
open tickets involve a histo-
ry of "chronic cheating:'
A ai-government crimi-
nal investigation found '1ess
than 10 per cent" of break-
open ticket players "had a
fair and honest chance to
win.""
It concluded that "cheat-
ing penneated the industry
- disaibution employees,
gaming and site managers,
and especially (break-open)
operators" with the result
that "three-tenths of one per
cent of players won 24 per
cent of the prizes."
In Ontario, only 11 per
cent of break-open ticket
sales goes to charities, out
of which charities must also
pay accounting, operating
and prize redemption costs.
AnothCr 14 per cent gOes to
non-charitable interests like
retailers, distributors and
manufacturers.
Municipalities also get
2.2 per cent from licencing
break -open tickets. While
the province has SO far been
silent on giving municipali-
ties revenue from VLTs,
existing law allows munici-
palities to levy a reasonable
fee with respect to amuse-
ment devices, including
VLTs.

Experts reject addiction
label for VLTS
~...:
\\'hen it comes to gam-
bling. Video Lottery
Ternunals (VLTs) in Ontario
must jeel like the Grinch at
Cluisanas. or fifth horse out
of the gate in a four-horse
race.
The linle 25-cents-a-play
entertainment machines.
proposed for race tracks,
charity casinos and bars, are
being criticized by a lot of
people.
About 60 municipalities
have called for their ban-
ning.
The "crack cocaine" of
gambling is one charge
often heard at councils; a
"tax on the poor" is another.
The "crack cocaine"
label implies VLTs are more
addictive than other forms
of gambling, an easy-to-
acquire gambling habit
equivalent to the supposed
easy-to-acquire "crack
cocaine" drug habit.
But Dr. Robin Room,
research vice-president of
Ontario's Addiction Re-
searcb Foundation, whose
opinion is shared by most
other researchers, told an
Ontario legislative commit.
tee th.ar there is no evidence
that anyone form of gaming
is more addictive than
another. For reporters. he
later added that the term
"crack cocaine" for VLTs is
"not appropriate.....
In fact, according to
American addiction expert
and professor of psychiatry
Dr. Durand Jacobs. speaking
at the Ontario Conference
on Problem Gambling, "you
can't make an addict." Only
people p<edisposed to addic-
tion - any 1cind of addic-
tion - can become gam-
bling addicts, and that's a
tiny fnlction of me popula-
tion.
Foo- Ibose few people, for
whom gambling can
become a problem, the
Ontario government has
decided to dedicate about
$10 million a year from
VLT revenues for education
and treatment programs.
For their defenders, VLTs
are more like a bottle of
beer before the ending of
prohibition, or the lure of
the Irish Sweepstakes before
the introduction of govern-
ment loneries in Canada -
the fear of them is more a
fear of the unknown than a
rational calculation.
Marshall Pollock, for
example, who was the first
head of the Ontario Lonery
Corporation, is reminded of
the apocalyptic predictions
which accompanied lottery
legalization in the 1970s.
"The dire predictions of
addiction and social col-
lapse never came true. The
main result of legalization
was to divert gambling
money from tbe illegal
stream to the legal, in the
_process bringing revenue to
government for social pro-
grams such as addiction
treatment," he said.
Still, he concedes it isn't
unusual for something new,
like VLTs, to be feared.
That's understandable.
What makes it worse this
time, he feels, is tb.e amount
of misinformation being"
spread about VLTs, some of
it from self-interested par-
ties who may have a stake
in current illegal gambling.
In reality, VLTs are sim-
ple entertainment devices
where the average player
spends just $10 at a time
about once or twice a week.
They are just one of the
crowd of gambling enter-
tainment attractions that
exist today - like break-
open tickets, horse races,
charity casinos. casinos. lot~
teries, bingos and raffles -
certainly not worse, and
maybe better, because the
S 1.000 jackpot they offer
won't attract people who
gamble to get rich.
"Treating VL Ts as the
unin vited guest at the gam-
bling party, as some munici-
palities are doing solely
because of false informa-
tion, is unreasonable:' said
Pollock, who now heads the
Ontario Video Gaming
Corporation.
Any fair-minded jury
would acquit VLTs of the
indictment against them, he
suggested.
''The addicts are going to
be there regardless of the
VLTs. But unless there are
VLTs there won't be the
revenue to create what is
expected to be the best
funded and most advanced
addiction treatment program
of its kind in the world,"
Pollock said.
Well, maybe not addicts
then, critics might say, but
what about VLT gambling
being .what the churches call
a Utax on the poor?"
"Again, the answer is
no," Pollock said.
Two studies of VLT play-
ers showed that most tended
to be males 25-44 years-of-
age, with high school educa-
tion, employed full-time and
with an annual income of
S2S~OOO or more.
In fact, bingo halls,
which originated in the
basements of churches, and
break-open ti;:ket sales,
which involve mainly low-
income and welfare people,
are the games of choice for
the poor.
Their players tend to be
female, more than 50 years-
of-age, with incomes under
$20,000 annually, and less
educated.
"VLTs sbould be judged
on their merits, not ~se.
of some scare campaign, It
Pollock said..

VLT Facts
What are VLTs? Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) are
adult entertainment machines. located in age-controlled
premises like face tracks. charity casinos. bars and taverns,
where they can only be played by adults. They pay win-
nings with a ticket. not cash like slot machines. and have a
maximum jackpot prize of 5500 or $1,000.
Are VLTs in Ontario now? Yes. VLTs are already in
Ontario. Police estimate that about 20,000 illegal VLTs are
contributing more than $1 billion to the underground econo.
my.
Does the Publit: support VLTs? Yes. Three different
public opinion surveys over the last two years show that the
public wants VLTs in Ontario in age-controlled premises.
How will the Government benefit from VLTs? By
legalizing VLTs the province will regain some of the money
that is now going to the underground economy. An estimat-
ed $700 million Per year in new, non-tax revenue will help
the government balance the budget and cut provincial taxes
by 30% while, at the same time, privatizing government
operations at no cost or risk to government and no increase
in the Public Service.
Will the Police benefit from legalizing VLTs? Yes.
Legalizing VLTs will move billions of dollars from the
underground economy to the legitimate economy where it
can be used to avoid cuts to health care, education and law
enforcement. llIegal activities will be replaced by legal
alternatives in the same way as when the government insti-
tuted controls on lotteries and alcohol.
Do VLTs cnaJe Jobs and Economi<: Activity? Yes. The
Hospitality Industry, Ontario's second largest employer with
more than 325.000 jobs, will benefit from VLT revenues.
Existing jobs will be protected while thousands of new,
entry-level jobs will be created because of increased activity
in adult-only licensed premises. VLTs at race tracks will
also help proteet jobs in the horse racing industry which
provides full and part-time employment for 40,000
Ontarians.
How wili v"l.Ts impacr Charities? Ontario charities will
get an additional $100 million per year from their 10%
share of VLT revenues. In other provinces, recent data
shows that revenue from bingos and otlter charity fundrais-
ing does NOT decline when VLTs are legalized.
How wUI VLTs affect problem gambling? A recent
study by the University of Windsor and the Canadian
Foundation on Compulsive Gambling showed that the intro-
duction of major new forms of gambling, such as casinos
and VLTs, did not result in an increase in gambling addic-
tion. The Addiction Research Foundation says that more
than 95% of Ontarians do NOT have any problem with
gambling. Treatment and education programs are needed for
the 1 % that are at risk. The Government has announced that
an EXTRA S8 million from VLT revenues will be used to
fund problem gambling education and treatment programs
in Ontario.
ECONOMIC IMPACT OF VLTS
· $300 million in NEW Private Sector investment:
· Thousands of NEW hospitality sector jobs:

increased sales revenues to help kick-start the recession
ravaged hospitality industry;
. $100 million in NEW charitable revenues;
· $19.5 million in NEW race track revenues;
· major province-wide impact on illegal VLTs and recap
ture of up to $1 billion in underground revenues:
· additional $8 million funding for problem gambling.

NET EXPENDITURES ON GAMBLING
Wagering is the total or gross amount that people bet, but
using wagering figures to indicate how much is spent on
gambling is misleading. It doesn't take into account money
won or the prizes paid out, It is like counting all the money
passed to a clerk in a store as income without deducting the
change given out,
Across Canada, according to the National Council on
Welfare, prizes or "change" average about 70 per cent of the
wager, but it varies greatly between different types of gam-
bling.
"Change" or winning bets and prizes from a wager can
be as much as 92 cents on the dollar for VLTs, 90 cents for
casinos, 83 cents for horse racing, 63 cents for break-open
tickets, and 50 cents for lotteries.
For example, $1.2 biUion was legally bet on horse rac-
ing. This is the amount wagered, the gross or "handle."
However, the net return, out of which must also Come
-expenses, Was only $208 million after people cashed win.
ning tickets.
The Ontario Lottery Corporation sold $1.9 billion in
tickets (94-95), paid out $958 million in prizes or 49 per
cent, and after expenses, remitted $627 million to the
province.
VLTS
As a new gambling fom in Ontario. VLTs have no gen-
uine comparison, but the estimate is that VLTs will net $1
billion, of which 70 per cent will go to the province, 10 per
cent to charities. 10 per cent to the operator of the establish-
ment where the VLTs are located. and the balance to cover
costs of operation.
PER CAPITA GAMBLING COSTS
Another way [0 calculate costs is in terms of net per
capita spending on legal gambling; that is, ignoring the total
wager and calculating how much each person in Ontario
spent on gambling after prizes have been distributed.

casinos. VLT money is new money in the pot.

ONTARIOBUDGETMA~I~6
The Ontario government approved VLTs for use at race
tracks, charity casino balls, and in bars. There will he no
VLTs in convenience stores and family restaurants. Legal
VLTs, unlike break-open tickets and illegal VLTs, will be
computer monitored for honesty of play and payout.
Also, in order to get a better handle on some of the prob-
lems associated with charitable gaming, the Ontario govern-
ment called for permanent charitable gaming halls.
These would replace the existing Monte Carlo nights
with their floating locations and management. which are
difficult to regulate and which report widely varying prof-
itability per event. In addition, benefiting charities have in
the past complained of fraud and lax security.

HELP FOR THE HOSPITALITY Ll'I/DlJSTRY
"Prior to the introduction of VLTs, foreclosure and sur-
render or hotel properries were occurring at the rate or 15 to
:!O per year. That number has now been reduced to two. In
addition to creating new revenues. the VLT program has led
to the creation of over 4.000 jobs."
Source: 1994.95 annual report of the Manitoba Lotteries
Corporation
VLTs have played a critical role in averting financial cri-
sis and have resulted in the creation of an average of 1.68
full and part-time jobs per establishment among members of
the association who have VLTs on their properties, and
average VLT-related expenditures of $19,577 on construc-
tion and renovation plus $9,350 on related furniture and fix-
tures for a total of $29,107 per establishment.
Source: May, 1994 Manitoba Hotel Association Member

Note: Applying that experience to Ontario with its about
3,000 locations would result in about 5,000 full and part-
time jobs in the hospitality industry and $87 ntillion in sec-
ondary economic activity.
BREAK-OPEN TICKET PURCHASERS
"I must say to you that our experience as a gaming ser-
vice supplier is that the largest purchasers, or the most sig-
nificant purchasers of our type of product at the 50-cent
level, are the low-income and welfare levels. We are justi-
fied we feel, of course, because they themselves are the
recipients of much of the charitable work this goes to."
- John Iverson, President, Health Promotions
Strategies Inc. to the Ontario Legislature's Justice commit-
tee Aug. 7, 1996. (TItis is the first, and one of the largest,
purveyors of break-open tickets to charities)
CHEATING AND BREAK-OPEN TICKETS
"No known method of regulation by North Dakota, any
other state, Canadian province, or manufacturer of (break
open tickets) has eliminated the problem. All methods tried
have proven ineffective. We estimated that less than 10 per
cent of the players...had a fair and honest chance to win.

of the prizes."

PROBLEM GAMBLING
UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR STUDY (ApriL 1996)
One year after the Windsor Casino which has 77 table
games and 1844 slot machines and VLTs, opened. a study
hy the University of Windsor found that the level of patho-
logical or problem gambling in the cit)' remained
unchanged.
Dr. Ron Frisch, associate professor of psychology who
headed up the study group said, "There is no evidence that
problem or pathological gambling patterns of the Windsor
community has changed significantly since the opening of
the casino."
The University Study Group surveyed 2,682 adults prior
to the opening of the Windsor Casino. One year after the
casino opened, 1,168 members of the original sample were
re-interviewed along with 2,675 additional adults in
Windsor.
DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM GAMBLER
"Problem" gambling covers any pattern of gambling
behavior that "compromises, disrupts or damages personal,
family or vocational pursuits." At its extreme it becomes
"pathological" gambling, a "continuous or periodic loss of
control over gambling."
As in all studies of buman behavior, definitions of what
is being discussed are vital for understanding what is actual-
ly being said.
For example, the National Council of Welfare has just
released a repon entitled Gambling in Canada. Its contents
will undoubtedly be widely quoted in coming months. What
is less likely to be quoted are the definitions the council
(and others) use when srudying gambling. Note that their
categories for gamblers below involve frequency of play
rather than dollars gambled.

THE SOUTH OAKS GAMBLING SCREEN
A broad brush measurement of whether a person fits into
the category of problem or pathological gambler may be
obtained using the South Oaks Gambling Screen, initially
developed in the mid-1980s using criteria of the American
Psychiatric Association for patient assessment, and repro-
duced below.
A point is =::Ired for each "yes" answer. Generally, a rat-
ing of zero. one or two is termed a "non-problem" respon~
dent, three or four a "problem" gambler, and five or more
"probably pathological."
ONTARIO
For unkno"'.... reasons, the scoring of the Ontario version
of the study ....-as bizarre. It categorized any 500..., bot zero as
a "problem" gambler, albeit five or higher was again
defined as "paIboIogical."
When mention is made of "problem" gamblers. in
Ontario. it is perhaps wise to remember the peculiar nature
of the Ontario scoring system. which even the National
Council on Welfare concedes is "strange."

The following questions are reproduced from the Albena
study and are the 20 questions for lifetime rates. The 'cur-

Commissioner's Report to Planning Committee
Report No. 97-P-10
Date: January 21,1997
SUBJECT
Regionally-Initiated Amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan to
permit a cluster in tl:te Permanent Agricultural Reserve at Concession Road 7
and Enfield Road in the Municipality of Clarington (Bill 20), File: OPA 96-020
Amendment No. 30 to the Durham Regional Official Plan
RECOMMENDATIONS
In accordance with the direction from Regional Council, it is recommended:
1. THAT Amendment No. 30 to permit a cluster in the Permanent Agricultural
Reserve at Concession Road 7 and Enfield Road in the Municipality of
Clarington, File: OPA 96-020, as contained in Attachment No.4, be adopted;
that the necessary by-law be passed; and further, that the Amendment be
forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for approval; and
2. THAT a copy of Commissioner's Report No. 97 -P-1 0 be forwarded to the
Municipality of Clarington.
REPORT
1. Backaround
1.1 On September 10, 1996, Planning Committee considered the approval ofthe
Clarington Official Plan. At that meeting, the Planning Department
recommended that the Clarington Official Plan be modified to delete the
proposed cluster designation, at Concession Road 7 and Enfield Road
(Regional Road No. 34), in the Clarington Official Plan (Attachment 1 _
Location Sketch). The cluster designation in the Clarington Official Plan did
not conform to the policies of the Durham Regional Official Plan. Planning
Committee endorsed this recommendation.

1.2 On September 25, 1996, Regional Council considered Planning Committee's
recommendation on the Clarington Official Plan and requested that an
amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan be brought forward to
recognize a cluster at Concession Road 7 and Enfield Road. The approval
of the cluster designation in the Clarington Official Plan was deferred
pending approval of the Regional Official Plan amendment.
1.3 The proposed amendment originated from a request by Mr. Douglas Taylor
of 1610 Concession Road 7, to recognize a cluster at Concession Road 7
and Enfield Road (Regional Road No. 34).
2. Durham Regional Official Plan Context
,'jo;
2.1 The Durham Regional Official Plan recognizes that distinct clusters of non-
farm residential development exist in the rural area. The Plan allows area
municipalities to identify existing clusters in the General Agricultural Area and
Major Open Space System in their respective official plans. The proposed
cluster is, however, located in the Permanent Agricultural Reserve and
partially fronts onto a Type A arterial road, Enfield Road. The recognition of
a cluster in this area does not meet the criteria of the Regional Official Plan.
2.2 The purpose of this amendment to the Regional Plan is to enable the
Municipality of Clarington to designate a cluster in the vicinity of Concession
Road 7 and Enfield Road. Clarington would then delineate the exact
boundaries of the cluster through the zoning by-law. A minimum lot size of
0.4 ha (1acre) is specified in the Clarington Official Plan.
3. Submissions
3.1 In accordance with the Planning Act, a notice of public meeting was
published in the local newspaper, and a public meeting was held on
November 26, 1996. Commissioner's Report No. 96-P-121 provided
information on the proposed amendment.

3.2 The Planning Department received several written submissions both in
favour and in opposition to the proposed amendment (see Attachment 2).
At the public meeting, several oral submissions were received both in favour
and in objection (see Attachment 3). The concerns of those who wrote or
spoke in opposition to the proposed amendment relate to: the impact of
private services on the environment; traffic and safety issues; the impact of
development on agricultural operations; the impact of the hydro corridor on
future residents; the potential for increased taxes; and, notification
procedures.
4. Consultation
4.1 The designation of the proposed cluster was reviewed by the Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs as part of the preparation of the
Clarington Official Plan. The Ministry noted that "many of the residential
uses in the area appear to be 5 to 10 acre lots. The existing development
does not have the characteristics of a distinct cluster. In addition, agricultural
uses predominate east' of the Regional Road and north of Concession Road
7." No other agencies provided comment regarding the proposed cluster.

Bill 20. In accordance with Regional Council procedure, written notification of
the meeting time and place of Planning Committee and Council was sent to
all who made oral or written submissions or requested notification.

fvr Bradley's
In April 1995 you signed my petition supporting this recognition.
It was clearly stated in the petition that the ~lustel'
designation would not only recognize the historical significance
of our location. but it would give us more impact with the
minicipality when we approached them for the acditional safety
measures at the corner. which is still the ultimate goal. It was
also stated in the petition that identifying a cluster MAY pel-mit
MINOR infilling. At this point. Mr. \olu of the Clarington'
Planning Department has tentatively indicate.} that Mr. Ross
Cryderman MIG!IT. be allowed 1 lot and Mr. Doug Taylor MT~l~ be
"
allowed two lots. There is also the possibility that NONE will
be allowed dependent on Mr. Wu and Planning.
Contrary to misinterpretation. the meeting on Tuesday is to
e.pprove. .in concept only. the oJ.mendmfolnt to pel"":nit a cluster. It
will not deal with the layout of the cluster or the safety
is.Bues. Th"se issues must be deD. I t wi th 'It a l,:;tel- date by the

. . . The subject area is currently designated as a "Permanent Agricultural Reserve" in the I
Durham Region Official Plan,
. The surrounding land is designated as "Prime Agricultural Land" in the Qarington
Official Plan.
. The majority of residents in this area have desires and concerns to protect and I
preserve the "Permanent Agricultural Reserve". These concerns mirror the J>..1l"ham
Region Planning Department and the Regional Planning Committees original I
recommendations to reject Mr, Taylor's Rural Cluster Development proposal.
. The majority of residents in this area enjoy their rural surroundings, and open space. I
They foresee Rural Cluster Development as an imposition to their rural agricultural
community.
. Inadequacy of water supply from shallow wells (i.e. approx. 30 feet deep) is one of the I
major concerns from residents in this subject area. Water supply problems are already
experienced in periods of prolonged drought, and further residenlial development will
exacerbate the problem. .
. Municipal water service is not contemplated for this area, therefore expansion of wat~
supply without deeper wells (at great expense to landowners) is impossible.
. Neither Mr. Taylor who originally submitted the Rural Cluster Development
proposal, nor the Municipality have provided proper studies such as:
- Needs Analysis addressing the actual need for such development, and the economic I
benefits to the community.
- Engineering and Geological Reports addressing the adequate supply of potab~e water,
water table conditions, and the effects of private septic tank systems. I
- Health Effects From EMR Emissions. There is a Hydro Corridor that Cuts through the
subject area. Health studies are still controversial and inconclusive, especially with I
respect to young children raised in proximity to these areas.

· There are currently several Hamlets in this vicinity within a 3 to 8 km radius that
have plenty of land available and properly zoned for non-farm residential
development, They are: Enfield (North), Mitchell's Corner (South), Solina ( South-
East), Hampton ( South-East), and Enniskillen(North-East). Why then destroy this
piece of "Prime Agricultural Land"?
. Mr. Taylor has revealed to the Fedors his intentions to subdivide his land to the
maximum limit allowed for a Rural Cluster Development (Le" one acre lots) and
move to a different location.
GOVERNMENT POLICY
.'
· Official Plan Policy## 13.3.14
- Mr. Taylors proposal does not conform with this policy and fails to meet all the
criteria associated with it (particularly with lots being adjacent to a Type 'A' major
arterial road).
· Official Plan policy## 13.3.33 (PROPOSED AMENDMENn
- This proposed amendment is not based on any expert analysis and studies, but
mere1yproposed as a superficial mechanism instructed by the Regional Council to
by-pass Official Plan Policy#13.3.14.
· Oak Ridges Moraine Area Guidelines (Section 14.3 Policies)
- Must treat area as a whole and not focus on small parts.
- Environmental concerns must be analyzed, particularly with the watershed master
plan.
- Negative cumulative impacts here would be interference with the water source and
other policy concerns.
· Foodland Guidelines
- General nature of land is agriculture.
- This proposed Rural Cluster would fragment ''Prime Agricultural Land".
- Guidelines warn against smaller lots due to farming viability and flexibility.
- Rural Clusters takes away available prime farmland, makes available prime
farmland more expensive to maintain and operate, thus undermining the stability
and viability of agricultural industry.
- This'land has already been severed for retirement lot exception by previous owners
who were active farmers (the Snowdens).
- Mr. Taylor is not an active farmer and does not have a scale back farming operation
that would eventually allow him to sever his land for retirement purposes. Mr.
Taylor is a retired GM employee, who purchased this twenty (plus) acre property
approximately eight years ago, and has built a retirement home on it, He is currently
renting the bulk of his land to a local farmer for cultivation purposes.

. .
,
PERSONAL LIABILITY
· In August/96 Mr. Taylor made a complaint to the Municipality regarding Claringtol1 I
Property Standards By-Law 82-63, Section 5.3.1(1). This was in reference to storm water
discharged from Fedors sump pump that was causing ponding on the proposed cluster I
area because of the grading of the land.
. No action was pursued by the Municipality, but suggestions were made that
Taylor /Fedors cooperate in installing a drainage system. This was not pursued since
this land is agricultural and no actual damages occurred to the land.
· Fedors could be open to liability should land be developed and neighbouring
residences flooded, etc...
· Fedors would have to consider possible negligence claim. against the Municipality
since this problem has already been raised, and no condition within Mr. Taylor's
proposal deals in correcting this problem.
I
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
I
I
I
I
· A deep well of approximately 200 to 300 feet can cost anywhere from $10,000 to in I
excess of $30,000 as was the case for a neighbour located approximately 100 meters
south of Bradley's Corners because of complications with pockets of natural gas. I
· Fedors would be forced to recoup costs from the Municipality and Mr. Taylor for lack
of conditions/terms in his proposal for dealing with the well water shortage.
· Mr. Taylor would likely no longer be a landowner, thus forcing Fedors to recoup costs I
exclusively from the Municipality.
· Mwrldpality is liable in nuisance, since it has discretion to do or not to do a thing, and I
how to do it. If the Municipality does that thing, it must do it in a way that does not
create a nuisance (e.g., loss of water, water flooding residential development).
· If a nuisance is created, the Municipality is liable whether there has been negligence or I
not.

. .
· Fedors lawyer requested that the following Case Law and OMB Reports be submitted
for review by the Planning Department in order to reinforce their original I
recommendations in preserving the "Prime Agricultural Reserve" designation, and to
help persuade the various Committees that Mr. Taylor's Rural Cluster Development
proposal should be reiected since the maiority of residents in this area are in I
opposition to it. and the proposal itself has not been adequately prepared and studied.

RE: The application to amend the Durham Region Official Plan File No,OPA96-020
Position: In direct opposition to an adoption of the proposal to add a cluster of houses in
the area described in the application ofFile No. OPA96-020.
Dear Sir:
We are submitting this letter as a written opposition to the application to amend the
Durham Regional Official Plan of our area.
The description of what would happen seems vague and the implication of the impact
on our country community setting is disturbing. As a 27 year resident of this area I would
not want to see our area changed to accommodate one persons desires, whatever they
. . may be. The impact on neighboring properties both residential and agricultural should be
examined carefully before any such steps are taken.
Points of concern:
1. A 'cluster' of homes would surely bring an increase in traffic to an already hazardous
corner with a history of serious accidents.
2. There is a concern that the addition of more water wells could tax the water table and
supply in the existing homes.
3. In a time when agricultural land is already under pressure, the loss of even more
prime land must be examined.
4. The addition of more septic systems in this high area with a ravine that washes into
properties further down the hill in an invitation to future water problems.
5. We feel that before my change to our area, an Environmental Impact Study must be
done to determine the effect on all our properties.
32
,
This proposal if adopted should then allow all residents who wish to do so have the
option to adopt the same plan and subdivide their own 10 acre lots governed by the same
plan.
This addition of housing in our area would Wldoubtedly increase the public services to
this area in a time of restraint and shrinking of funds to supply services. Ultimately
reflecting a raise in our taxes to accommodate this expansion.
We would appreciate our concerns outlined be respectfully be taken into consideration
before rendering a decision in this matter.

Re:

Regional File No. OPA 96-020
Dear Sir:
November 19, 1996

Please accept this written submission as our opposition to the adoption of the amendment to the
Durham Regional Official Plan.
As neighbouring property owners, we would be adversely affected by the establishment of a "cluster"
in this area. There appears to be scant merit to justilY permission for unwanted development in a
Permanent Agricultura1 Reserve. The proposal begs many questions and comments from owselves and
concerned residents that need to be addressed by planners and goveinment agencies entrusted with
guardian responsibility in this'regard.
· Why were neighbouring property owners not notified in writing of proposed amendments prior
to the application coming before reglll~ AUthorities with the power to dismiss late objections
by those affected? We certainly wish to be notified of any meetings or trausactions regarding .
the proposal which might affect our ability to respond.

· We can see no purpose for establishing a cluster at this location that can be shown to benefit the
community as a whole. The cluster will not blend harmoniously with the surrounding rural
properties which are predominantly lands under continuous farming operatiOns. The
establishment of a cluster in this sensitive watershed area is unwarranted and would likely set
an alarming precedent for additional clusters in rural areas against much stated public wishes
and concerns for the preservation of agricultura1land. .
· A thorough and comprehensive study of the implications surrounding the proposal is indicated.
We believe an environmental impact study is required, prior to approval of the plan, to properly
determine the effects of additional development and its influence on existing' drinking water
supplies, water table quality and quantity, sewage treatment, drainage and storm water nm-ofL
The proposal must ensure existing water supplies in the area would not be affected and dictate
responsibility for immediate fimding and corrective action, resulting from adverse effects, if the
development were to proceed.
· Public cost implications must be considered during these times of fiscal restraint The cluster
will impose additional burdens on public service providers to dispense taxpayer-fimded
services and protections such as, fire, police, ambulance, postal, garbage, street lighting and the
34
like. The e>ctra costs to taxpayers for remote area services are substantial and unwarranted
when considering these service capabilities are already established and can be more effectively
provided with less expense in suitably zoned hamlets, villages and towns within a few
kilometers of the proposed new development.
. The proposed cluster designation directly or indirectly affects many neighbouring properties.
Residents have always understood and accepted the restrictions to the subdivision oflands in
this agricultural area and will feel disappointed and betrayed if properties adjacent to them are
zoned to allow development. How would boundaries be established? Will border property
owners have the same opportunities to subdivide lots from their properties, if so desired? What
are the limitations to expansion? What building restrictions would be imposed? Does the
establishment of a cluster bring with it the prospect of commercial and industrial installations?
. The cluster will have a very dangerous impact on traffic safety at the intersection of Regional
Road #34 (Enfield Rd.) and-Concession Road #7. The intersection is hidden from the view of
approaching traffic, particularly when approached from the north on Regional Road #34.
Serious safety concern is posed for additional traffic entering or exiting the roadway within
restricted visibility of the intersection, including slow-moving farm implements, school buses,
delivery and service vehicles. A historical review will reveal many serious accidents have
occurred at this intersection due to poor driver visibility of the intersection. A comprehensive
study of the implications of additional access and the need for effective traffic control measures,
law enforcement, road design and safety is required for planners to deliberate with prudent
precautions on the suitability of allowing additional development at this intersection.
>~~
. What action can we expect from respons1.ole governing authorities to address and respond to
the concerns of the community and 1hose affected? What recourse to appeal does one have
who feels he is adversely affected or bypassed in the decision making? To whom does one
appeal?
We respectfully request the concerns and comments outlined above be taken into consideration by your
department and planning committees. Please include a copy of this letter voicing our concerns with
your correspondence to the various ministries and committees with jurisdiction or input on the
implementation of the proposed amendment.
We appreciate there are many factors to consider in discharging a decision regarding land development
which requires pertinent input from all appropriate regulating bodies. We therefore appeal to you and
the planning committee to reject this application to amend the official plan.

As neighbouring property oWners, we would be adversely affected by the establishment of a
"cluster" in this area. I along with my brothers are fanners in this area and fann approximately
five hundred acres in Lots 32, 33, and 34 in Concessions 6 and 7 in the munici~ of
Clarington. I do not a~e with establishing a "cluster" in a remote area surrounded by
predominantly land under continuous fanning operations.
.:..,
Why were we as neighbouring property owners not notified in writing of this proposed
amendment? I feel the map published in the paper was very misleading and at a quick glance I
thought it was something to do with the land at all four comers and not understanding whata
"cluster" was, I thought it was something to do with widening the road at that ~pecific comer due
to the serious accidents which have occurred at this comer.
[ feel that a thorough and comprehensive study of the implications surrounding this proposal
is needed. A thorough environmental study is also needed to detennine the effects on existing
wells. water table, septic systems, drainage etc.
What action can we expect from governing authorities to look after the concerns of the
community? What recourse do we have if we feel we are being bypassed in decision making?
Who do we address our appeals to?
We certainly wish to be infonned of any meetings or transactions regarding the proposal

Re: Application to Amend the Durham Regional Official Plan Regional
File No. OPA 96-020'
Dear Sir: November 25, 1996
Please consider this written submission as my opposition to the adoption of the proposed
Amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan.
'",
It was not so long ago that I was to the Planning Department seeking infonnation regarding
the zoning in our area and querying the possibility of selling off a one acre lot to my sister and
brother-in-law (this was part and parcel of Lot 35, Concession 7). I was infonned,not
surprisingly that it was zoned Agricultural and thus the bylaws prohibit such activities. As much
as I wished to help out my family, I did not dispute this nor seek further action, all because I
have great respect for the land and what we derive from the land. We make a living off of this
land and frankly the more land we sell off for the purpose of development, the less opportunities
we have to make a living. Our prime agricultural properties are being eaten up by proposed
highways and housing developments, and I say NO MORE! Build homes where the land isn't so
prosperous.
I wish to know why as a neighbouring property owner we were not notified in writing of this
propo~ed amendment? In the past we have received written notice regarding such, for example a
few months back a gentleman on Enfield Rd. submitted an application for a five bay garage, and
that certainly did not have the implications that a "cluster" would have on the community.
Considerations must be made regarding the effect a "cluster" would have on the environment.
Studies should be done to detennine the effects on the water table, existing wells, septic systems,
drainage etc.
I wish to be noti fied of any subsequent meetings pertaining to this issue. And furthennore

Re: PROPOSED AMENDMENT
REGIONAL FILE NO: OPA 96-020
Dear Sir,
I live at Bradley's Corners which; unfortunately, has seen more than it's share of
accidents, some with serious consequences. In April of 1995 shortly after a particularly
tragic accident a neighbour, Mr. D. Taylor, came around with a petition which was
presented on the basis that the only premise on which we could get a flashing light at the
corner was to have the area recognized as a rural cluster. He also emphasized the
historical significance of the area and I, like the majority of those on the petition, signed
without fully reading or realizing the implications of the document.
.~.....
This petition has now changed from "Recognizing a Rural Cluster" or the existing homes,
to "Permitting a Rural Cluster" or adding more homes. It is now very apparent that the
real motive behind this petition was not the safety of the intersection, nor the historical
significance of Bradley's Comers, but for personal fmancial gain. In fact in a meeting
with Mr. Taylor on November 23rd he expressed to me that the revenue generated from
the sale of even one lot would help ease his current financial burdens. Mr. Taylor's
finances are none of our business and are hardly a reason to amend the Durham Regional
Official Plan. I am sure that if this petition was recirculated tQday it would only bear the
signatures of those residents who stand to gain financially.
Like all the residents in the area, I am concerned about the safety of the intersection and
believe a flashing light should be installed There is such a light installed a! the
intersection of Concession Road 6 and Liberty Street without the presence of a rural
cluster and I am sure that the Province of Ontario does not look'to improve the safety of
it's highways and byways by first adding more development.
It should go on record that Mr. Taylor wrote me a note on November 21, 1996 asking to
meet me as there was an error in the amendment and that "some minor infilling would be
allowed(maybe 3 or 4 homes?)," During our meeting of November 23rd the number of
homes was adjusted down to 2 or 3 as, according to Mr. Taylor, "Mr. James Richards
does not stand a chance of getting a lot on his property" a hope not shared by Mr.
Richards. Mr. Taylor also volunteered the services of Mr. Lany Hannah to meet with the
neigbbours on Sunday November 24, 1996 to explain the misinterpretation, [ declined
this invitation.

In Mr. Taylor's letter to the neighbours received on November 24, 1996 he reminds us
that "In April 1995 you sil,,'ned my petition supporting this recognition." He goes on to say
that "At this point, Mr. Wu of the Clarinb'ton Planning Department has tentatively
indicated that Mr. Ross Cryderman MIGHT be allowed I lot and Mr. Doug Taylor
MIGHT be allowed two lots." Subsequently Mrs. Cryderman called me and many of the
other neighbours to assure us that they were in no way connected with this application
and had no intentions of building a retirement home at Bradley's Corner. It seems that
Mr. Taylor will go to any lengths to achieve his -goal.
You have received much opposition regarding the proposed amendment of the subject
area. Concerns of the surrounding residents from increased traffic to decreased water
supply have all been addressed. They are all valid and all contain the message, "we want
to preserve this area as "Prime Agricultural Land .. and we do not want any additional
development ..
Apart from the long term farmers the residents of the subject area all purchased their
properties for one main reason, country living with the understanding that no lots could
be sub-divided. Most, like myself; have been residents for over 10 years and work hard to
maintain their standard ofIiving. All could benefit financially from the windfall
generated by dividing their properties, instead they choose hard work and quality of life
over short term financial gain. We cannot therefore allow the lifestyles of the
overwhelming majority to be negatively impacted in order to support the greed of one or
two individuals.
No one deny the growth that progress feeds upon, that growth however should not be
from: the outside in. In due time the hamlet of Mitchell's Corners will grow northward
Many properties will be sub-divided and swallowed as our metropolis swells and all
residents should then benefit in the increased value of their properties. Until such time,
historical significance or not, I do not believe we are ready to form the town of Bradley's
Comers and oppose this amendment

This letter is to express our concerns regarding the proposed amendment to
permit a cluster in the Per.manent Agricultural Reserve at Concession Road , I
and Enfield Road in the Municipali\.y of C:larington.
In June, 1994, there. was a near.-fatal accident at the corner'of Concession
Road 7 and Enfield road (known as "BradJey's Corners). Subsequent to that I
incident, Mr. Taylor ch'culnted a petition around \OIlQ nQigl1borhood. Our
recollection of this petition was that the emphasis was on obtaining higher
safety standards at thiu dangerous corner, Mr., Taylor, in his November 23,
1996 letter, has now br.ought .il; t.o our I't:l..en\.ion "hat "it was alao:atated in I
the petition that identifying a cluster may permit minor infilling". We
cannot undo the past but it needs to be brought; t;o your attention that further
consideration would have been made to signing I;his PQcicion if it was brought I
to our "full attention' the addil:ional implications.
An amendment to the Official Plan to permit a cluster at Concession Road , and
Enfield Road in the Municipality of Clarington hI'S now made it to Che regional
level. Should safety issues not be addressed first? Is there a need to
subject even more people to the possible dangers of this corner? It is a
shame that \:ha lIIlIaodmanr. has come to this stage without the "direct. knowledge"
of all purties in the cuncerned araa. This mal.t;er was broughL LO our
accencion wich a notice in a ~hrow-away paper. by the concerns of eome
neighbors and then by 1'1". Taylor'" lott:"r that was dropped ocr in our mailbox
late Saturday night, November 23rd (in which he apologizes to any neighbor who
may f:eel that he had alt;erior lnot,ivQS or t;har. he misled us or misrepresented
us) .

The above notes are minor in the scheme of. things. The more important issues
of safety and environment need to be brought to your attention.

St. Georae's - Mill Street trees
Isabel Uttle has received a copy of an estimate by Del Cressman, arborist. The quote
was for pruning the three trees in front of the Church. Isabel contacted Mr. Cressman
to determine the costs involved in installing a barrier wall, if required. He suggested that
digging take place on the Church side of the wall in order to check for evidence of roots
coming through, at a cost of $250.00.
If the roots are discovered to be the cause of the wall damage a 20 foot barrier can be
installed. The sidewalk would need to be removed and replaced, and the total cost for
all is approximately $2,000.00. A copy of the written and verbal estimates will be given
to Lynn Lovekin to forward to the Church.

Re: Provincial-Municipal Reform
City Council considered the above matter at a meeting heJd February 3. 1997, and adopted the
following recommendation of the Execut:ve Committee:
"WHEREAS the Province has announced legislation to restructure the responsibililies of
municipal government in Ontario,
AND WHEREAS this legislation is currently before the Legislature at Queens' Park.
AND WHEREAS the Provincial Government has requested comment from affected parties
regarding this legislation,
AND WHEREAS this legislation and comments made by lhe Premier and the Minister of .
Housing and Municipal Affairs have suggested that certain costs be pooled within the entire
GT A area.
AND WHEREAS the Citizens of Oshawa voted by over 94% in a municipal referendum to
oppose amalgamation, politically or administratively, with Toronto and these comments
would seem to ignore those wishes,

COMMUNIQUE
ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE SHARING KNOW _ HOW
A COMMUNITY LEADERS PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
ottawa -- In keeping with the recommendations of the National Board of Directors, FCM has
secured the revival of the 1991-92 Community Leaders Exchange Program (CLEP) with support
from the federal government's Canadian Information Office (CIO). The federal government will
use the FCM program during a news conference on February 17, 1997 as the launching pad for
a series of partnership initiatives this year.
j.,
'.'
The original CLEP program has been enhanced and modernized to reflect the growing needs
of our members and to create sustainable links of communication between partnering
municipalities, It has been designed as a partnership among the CIO, FCM and the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce with support from the Royal Bank. The new program is called Sharing
Know-How: A Community Leaders Partnership Program. Both FCM and the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce are respective national grassroots organizations which have a strong
presence in communities across the country. FCM will be the lead partner with responsibility for
management and implementation, The role of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce is advisory
and supportive.
The news conference will be held in Moncton, February 17, 1997 at 11 A.M. and attended by the
Honourable Sheila Copps, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Canadian Heritage, His
Worship Leopold Belliveau, Mayor of Moncton, Mr. Bryon Wilfert, President of the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities, Mr. Gerry Pond, First Vice-Chair of the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce and Mr. Tom Hill, Moncton Manager of the Royal Bank.

The primary objective of the program is to share knowledge and expertise on common issues and
challenges communities face in Canada. Partnering municipalities will be paired according to
past linkages, socio-economic and demographic profiles and common interests. Topics will
include everything from municipal governance to energy conservation.
Funding has been secured for two years. Thirty exchanges involving sixty municipalities are
planned for the first year. Financial arrangements are similar to the original program with
municipal governments or community groups contributing one third of the cost of travel,
together with hospitality and accommodation costs.

To whom it may concern,
I feel the concern that I have is important, mostly for the children growing up in our
community. I recently found out through my dentist that the town is not providing
fluoride in our drinking water, nor is the school providing fluoride treatments due to
cutbacks.
il
~I
My dental office and the public health department have answered my questions and
educated me so I am very much aware of how important fluoride is for the health of our
teeth. I was also informed that many parents in our community are not even aware of
the situation and therefore may not be providing fluoride for their children's growing
teeth.
l
II
I have spoken to several town officials to find out how much it would cost our town to
providing fluoride in our drinking water; and I have been told that it can be achieved at
no C<Jst... (from what I understand our surrounding towns such as Oshawa do provide
this treatment for their citizens).
II
Therefore my question to you is, why is the town ofBowmanvi1le not providing fluoride
treatments for its residents drinking water?
I
I

Y OllIS sincerely,
I would appreciate if immediate attention and consideration is given to this growing
need in our community., I thank you in advance for your time and effort and please. do

It is my pleasure to invite your municipality to participate in the Ontario Heritage
Foundation's second annual Heritage Community Recognition Program.
This program recognizes the commitment and achievements of individuals who have made
lasting contributions to conservation in the areas of built, natural or cultural heritage.
In 1996, 134 individuals from municipalities across the province were honoured for their
conservation efforts. Community support and media attention for the program surpassed
anticipated levels. Municipalities that participated found/it to be an excellent way to
promote awareness of both local heritage conservation projects and the people who make
them happen.
Under the program, an achievement pin (in the well-recognized shape of the Foundation's
blue and gold provincial plaques) and a personalized parchment certificate may be
presented to a resident of your community. The nomination must be made by the
municipality, but you may Wish to consult With local groups and indi\1duals active in
heritage: LACACs, conservation authOrities, cultural or historical groups, etc.
In August 1997, participating municipalities will be advised by letter of the decision
regarding each nomination. They are then encouraged to notify recipients and/or. media of
the achievement. By August 31st, recognition pins and certificates Will be mailed to
municipalities. The Foundation will distribute its own regional news releases in mid-
September.
Included \\ith this letter and the nomination fonn is a copy of Heritage Matters, the
Foundation's newsletter, and a poster. The poster, being released for Heritage Week 1997,
showcases 28 of the 134 recipients in last year's Heritage Community Recognition Program.
Full details about the program and its selection criteria are found in the attached
nomination form. The deadline for nominations is June 30, 1997. For further
information about the program, or for more copies of Heritage Matters or the poster, please
contact John Ecker, Manager of Marketing and Communications, at (41 p - u i::; O~~:-I":

Mayor Hamre and Council:
Freedom To Read Week is an annual event sponsored by the Canadian book and magazine industry, which
focuses public attention on the issue of intellectual freedom. Across Canada, schools, bookstores and libraries will
promote displays of censored materials and educate the public about censorship and its effect on a democralic
society. At the Clarington Public Library, we will host displays of materials in our collection which have been
banned, challenged or removed from school libraries and bookstores. This year, Freedom To Read week is the week
of February 24 to March 2,1997.
In support of this event we ask that Clarington Municipal Council approve the following declaration:
'.1
!
Freedom To Read
:1
,
II
WHEREAS the right to purse the truth through free inquiry is essential to democratic decision-making; and
whereas the freedom to read is the essence of free inquiJy, and
whereas the freedom to read is under assault from left and right in our society;
therefore he it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington Council recognises, reaffirms and defends the right
of the citizens of this community individua1ly to decide what he or she will or will not read (the freedom to
read);
anti further In support of this resolution, this council on behalf of the citizens of Claarington, proclaims this
municipality henceforth a Freedom To Read Zone in which the freedom to read is inviolable.
All persons in Canada have the fundamental righi, under the Bill of Rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms, to have access to all expressions of knowledge, creativity and intellectual activity, and to express their
thoughts publicly. (Intellectual Freedom- Position Statement, Canadian Library Association).
Thank you for joining us in our efforts to inform the public of the issue of censorship during Freedom To Read
Week.
Yours sincerely,
C~

Attention: P. Barrie. Clerk
Re: Greater Toronto Services Board
At a meeting held on February 10, 1997 the Council of the
Corporation of the Town of Whitby passed the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Provincial Government has directed that
terms of reference be prepared .'for a body called the
Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) to co-ordinate
certain services across regional boundaries which may
include responsibili ty for the provision of water,
sewers, pUblic transit, waste management, economic
development, etc; and
WHEREAS, there are indications that the Greater Toronto
Services Board (GTSB) may also assume the provision of
planning, capital financing and management of such
services that cross regional boundaries within the
Greater Toronto Area; and
II
I
II
I
WHEREAS, if the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB)
model includes powers and has responsibility over any or
all of these functions, it will require a substantial
administrative staff organization which ultimately must
be accountable to a Board that in the opinion of this
Council will eventually become a separate level of
Government; and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of this Council that the,
Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) should be limited
to serving in an arbitration role to resolve and
facilitate conflicts in service delivery and co-
ordination where economic considerations and other
issues deem it appropriate; and

WHEREAS, the proposed Greater Toronto Services Board
(GTSB) should not be responsible for the provision and
administration of services currently performed by local
government at the regional or local government level;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,
1. That the Premier of Ontario and the Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing be urged to restrict
the terms of reference of the Greater Toronto
Services Board (GTSB) to the role which will allow
the Board to resolve disputes, facilitate the
provision of inter-regional services in regard to
econcmic and such other considerations as may be
deemed advisable, and that such terms of reference
enable the Board to involve itself to facilitate
and co-ordinate the provision of such services as
water, sewer, public transit, waste management,
economic development, etc., at the insistence of
one or more municipalities;
2. That consideration be given, as an alternative, to
adding the foregoing responsibilities to those
already performed by the Ontario Municipal Board
or another quasi-judicial body appointed for that
purpose; and,
':""
3. That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal
Affairs and Housing, Mr. Farrow, Special Advisor
to the Minister, all GTA Municipalities, M.P.P.'s
in Durham Region, and the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario for consideration.
Whitby Council firmly believes the sole purpose of the proposed
Greater Toronto Services Board should be to facilitate conflict
resolution in the provision of inter-regional services by local
municipalities. Under no circumstance should the Board assume or
be given responsibility for the administration or delivery of such
services.

Joint Report No. 97-J-2

REPORT
1. Puroose of this Reoort
1.1 In late 1996, the Planning and Works Committees requested the preparation
of a report updating the Region's transportation priorities. This report
addresses the need and priority of provincial freeway improvements in the
Region. Specifically, the report discusses:
. why the Region's needs and priorities should be examined at this time;
. a description of the freeway expansion needs and priorities;
. interim Highway 401 improvement needs and priorities; and
. conclusions and recommended actions.
-"'i'
1.2 This report does not examine Regional road priorities, as these are
addressed annually through the capital budget process. Long term Regional
road improvement priorities were last established in 1991, as part of the
twenty-year forecasts prepared for the Development Charges By-law. These
forecasts are presently being reviewed for the 1997 Regional Financing and
Servicing Study.
2. Whv Examine the Reaion's Freeway ImDrovement Needs and Priorities?
2.1 Freeway facilities are an integral component of the Region's transportation
network, These facilities are the primary carriers of long distance, inter-
regional trips, and their efficient operation is critical to achieving many of the
economic, transportation and land use objectives contained in the Durham
Regional Official Plan (RaP). The adequacy of freeway facilities in the
Region, also has a direct impact on the efficiency ofthe arterial road network.
2.2 There are several reasons why the Region's freeway improvement needs and
priorities should be examined at this time:
. The nearly completed widening of Highway 401 and the planned
interim extension of Highway 407, both to Brock Road, will influence
local and regional travel patterns. The opening of these two major

Joint Report No. 97 -J-2
Page 3
facilities will impact present traffic patterns in two ways. Firstly, the
availability of these facilities will cause changes in travel routes, which
will result in a redistribution of traffic volumes on the arterial road
system. Secondly, the absence of a high speed linkage between the
two freeways will place additional stress on the arterial network, as
existing arterials will be used to travel between Highways 401 and 407.
This will result in increased traffic congestion on roads such as
Highway 2, Bayly Street, Taunton Road, Brock Road and Westney
Road. Ultimately, this demand may necessitate road widenings, which
could result in significant Regional expenditures.
. The freeway facilities within the Region will playa greater role in
serving future east-west travel demand due to recent ROP
modifications. In January 1997, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing approved a modification to the ROP to delete the Bayly Street
- Lawrence Avenue and Rossland Road - Finch Avenue links to
Metropolitan Toronto. Although the modification brings the ROP into
conformity with Provincial policy regarding the Rouge Park, the travel
demands which necessitated these facilities will need to be
accommodated, primarily by Highways 401 and 407.
. Funding for freeway improvements is diminishing and significant
competition exists for funding. Ministry of Transportation (MTO)
funding for improvements is allocated on a priority basis within Central
Region, Which is comprised of Metropolitan Toronto, Durham, York,
Peel, Halton, Hamilton-Wentworth and Niagara. Currently, priority is
typically given to rehabilitation projects over expansions.
Consequently, expansion projects must demonstrate a high need to
obtain funding. With MTO's current financial constraints, the feasibilitY
of a project may be enhanced if accompanied by municipal or private
funding contributions.
3
. The continued growth of the Region is dependent on the provision of a
safe and efficient transportation system, especially completion of the
freeway network. Goods movement is an important consideration in
Joint Report No. 97-J-2
Page 4
business location and investment decisions. Without a complete
freeway network, the economic competitiveness of Durham, and the
GT A, will be adversely affected. Undue levels of traffic congestion
also pose environmental and safety concerns.
3. Freeway Expansion Needs and Priorities
Expansion needs and priorities for the Region's three existing and planned
freeways, Highways 407, 401 and 404, were examined. Attachment 1
illustrates the expansion opportunities for Highways 407 and 401. It should
be noted that the extension of Highway 404 is not recommended as a high
priority at this time. The Highway 404 extension does not address the needs
discussed in Section 2.
3.1 Highway 407 Extension Through Durham - Interim and Ultimate
The extension of Highway 407 through Durham should continue to be a high
priority for the Region. As stated in Joint Report No. 95-J-1, Highway 407 will
provide significant economic benefits to Durham and is critical to achieving
many of the urban structure objectives stated in the ROP. The extension will
benefit goods movement and provide necessary transportation capacity
across the west Durham boundary.
As reported in October 1996, through Joint Report No. 96-J-21, MTO is
completing the environmental assessment (EA) for an interim extension of
Highway 407 to Highway 7, just east of Brock Road. .The report also noted
that MTO was reactivating the EA study for the remaining portions of
Highway 407 east of Brock Road, including the interconnecting freeways.
While the anticipated construction to Brock Road, and continuation of the EA
study are promising, the Region should reiterate its desire for the Province to
continue Highway 407 through Durham. The freeway should be extended to
at least the proposed Courtice freeway link in the first stage, as endorsed by
Regional Council, through Joint Report No. 95-J-1.

Joint Report No. 97-J-2

3.2 Highway 401 Expansion, East of Brock Road
As evidenced by recent construction activities, the long awaited widening of
Highway 401 from Metropolitan Toronto to Brock Road is nearing completion.
The twelve lane, core-collector section is scheduled to be open to Brock
Road before the end of 1997. MTO is also undertaking a planning study for a
"transition section", which would result in a widening of Highway 401 to 10
lanes to the west side of Westney Road, and 8 lanes to the west side of
Harwood Avenue. However, funding for the transition section is currently not
identified in MTO's capital program budget.
The widening of Highway 401 to Brock Road will alleviate traffic congestion at
the west Durham boundary for the short term. However, continued growth
and commuter travel demands will result in congestion on Highway 401
shifting to Ajax and Whitby in the foreseeable future. In addition, improved
access to key industrial and commercial locations in the Region will be
necessary to facilitate continued economic development. These concerns
could be alleviated through the continued expansion of Highway 401 easterly
through Oshawa and, as such, should be considered a high priority.
4. Interim Highway 401 Interchange Improvement Priorities
4.1 As noted above, the extension of Highway 407, to link with Highway 401 in
the vicinity of Courtice Road, and the continued widening of Highway 401,
through Oshawa, are recommended as the Region's first priority for freeway
improvements. However, Provincial funding for undertakings of this nature is
limited at this time. In addition, private financing will likely not be available
until constructed sections of Highway 407 are opened and revenue
projections can be validated.
4.2 Recognizing these financial limitations, the expansion of Highways 401 and
407 may not proceed in the short term. Interim Highway 401 interchange
improvements will be necessary to address the traffic, safety, financial and
economic.development concerns identified in Section 2. Significant traffic
operations and economic benefits can be achieved, and deficient conditions
can be addressed, through interim improvements. In addition, there may be
5
Joint Report No. 97-J-2
Page 6
opportunities to partner with the area municipalities and other affected parties
to expedite the works.
4.3 The Region previously identified Highway 401 interchange improvement
priorities in 1988 and 1990. These interim improvement opportunities were
re-examined and prioritized through a qualitative assessment, which
considered the following criteria:
. cost and ease of implementation;
. economic and social benefit to the Region;
. ability to alleviate existing safety and capacity concerns;
. support of land use objectives; and
. financing opportunities.
The locations of the following priority interim improvements are illustrated in
Attachment 1. A schematic illustration ofthe specific ramp improvements is
provided in Attachment 2.
4.4 Priority 1 - Lakeridge Road
A future Lakeridge Road interchange is identified in the ROP. While a full
interchange is contemplated, early construction of ramps from Highway 401
westbound to Lakeridge Road northbound, and from Lakeridge Road
southbound to Highway 401 westbound, would provide immediate benefit.
These ramps would enable use of Lakeridge Road, which presently has
available capacity, as an access to Highway 401. This would provide:
. relief to heavily used roadways in the area, such as Highway 2, Bayly
Street, and the north/south arterial road connections to Highway 401;
. a by-pass route for heavy vehicles currently travelling through Whitby
and Ajax; and
. a by-pass connection between the interim extension of Highway 407
and Highway 401. In the absence of ramps at Lakeridge Road,
Highway 401 westbound traffic destined for Highway 407 will likely use

Brock Road and Westney Road. Both these roadways currently
experience very high demand in the vicinity of Highway 401. With the
interim Highway 407 extension to Brock Road potentially in place as
early as the year 2000, a partial Lakeridge Road/Highway 401
interchange will provide additional north/south arterial capacity in the
short term.
It is recommended that MTO be requested to commence design and
construction of these ramps at the earliest opportunity. The total cost to
construct these ramps is estimated at $1 million, excluding land acquisition
costs. Financial participation by Durham may accelerate this relatively
inexpensive, but beneficial, improvement.
The implementation of southbound to eastbound, and eastbound to
northbound, ramps at Lakeridge Road should also be examined. Although
the cost of these improvements is more substantial (approximately $4 million
per ramp), their implementation would:
. complete the temporary Highway 401 to 407 by-pass link;
. provide additional north/south capacity; and
. improve transportation service to north Whitby and Ajax.
Due to their cost, the construction of the additional ramps is not considered
an immediate priority. However, further study of their financial and technical
feasibility is recommended in the near term.
4.5 Priority 2 - Harmony Road
The 1993 widening of the Bloor Street bridge over Highway 401 and related
intersection improvements effectively resolved previous safety concerns at
the Harmony RoadlFarewell Street/Bloor Street interchange in the short term.
However, morning peak traffic at the Harmony Road/Bloor Street intersection
is still a concern.
A westbound Bloor Street to westbound Highway 401 ramp would assist in
alleviating some ofthese concerns in this area. The proposed on-ramp
7
Joint Report No. 97-J-2
Page 8
would form part of the future upgraded Harmony Road/Highway 401
interchange, as defined in MTO's 1990 Preliminary Design Report (1990
PDR)'. MTO did not construct the on-ramp as part of the 1993 improvement
project, on the assumption that the entire interchange would be reconstructed
within 10 years.
If the interchange will not be upgraded in the foreseeable future, it is
recommended that MTO be requested to proceed with the on-ramp
construction at the earliest opportunity. At a cost of less than $1 million, the
improvement would be inexpensive to implement, and would improve
transportation service in this area.
4.6 Priority 3 - Stevenson Road
.-:;.
The ROP identifies a future Stevenson Road interchange. Construction of
this interchange would provide substantial transportation, economic and land
use benefits to the Region and the City of Oshawa, particularly in serving the
General Motors Plant and the Oshawa Centre. The interchange would also
assist in relieving traffic concerns currently experienced in the vicinity of the
Thickson Road interchange. The cost to construct the interchange design
presented in the 1990 PDR is approximately $20 million. As such, it is not
anticipated that MTO will advance construction of the final Stevenson Road
interchange at this time.
MTO is presently conducting a study to assess safety and operational issues
on Highway 401 between Brock Road and Highway 35/115. Through that
study, MTO is examining alternative interim interchange designs for
Stevenson Road, making use of the existing overpass bridge. Several
alternatives were generated, each with a potential cost significantly lower
than the cost to build the ultimate interchange. Preliminary work indicates
that a short term solution for the construction of an interchange at Stevenson
Road is feasible for a cost of between $3 and $8 million.
The 1990 PDR presented a potential improvement strategy for H ig hway 401, between
Brock Road and Courtice Road.

It is recommended that MTO be requested to commence .an EA study to
determine the preferred interim interchange configuration, and examine
property requirements and project cost apportionment. A business case to
justify advancing construction may also be necessary.
4.7 Priority 4 - Pickering Beach Road/Harwood Avenue
The closure of the Harwood Avenue interchange and the addition of the
Pickering Beach Road interchange are designated in the ROP for Mure
implementation. Early construction of the Pickering Beach Road interchange
and closure of the Harwood Avenue interchange, would help to address
existing safety and operating inadequacies, and development demands in
east Ajax. However, given the cost of this project (approximately $25 million),
it is not anticipated that MTO will advance construction in the near future.
While construction of the ultimate Pickering Beach Road interchange is not
likely in the current environment, it is recommended that a business case,
developed jointly by the Region and the area municipalities, be prepared to
illustrate the benefits of MTO expediting an interim improvement.
5. Conclusions and Recommended Actions
5.1 The timeliness of completing the freeway network in Durham will affect the
Region's ability to achieve many of the economic, transportation and land use
objectives identified in the ROP. To ensure there is an adequate freeway
system to accommodate Durham's needs:
. The Region's first priority for freeway expansion, the extension of
Highway 407 to link with Highway 401 in the vicinity of Courtice Road,
and the widening of Highway 401, through the City of Oshawa, should
be pursued with the Province; and
. In the interim, the following Highway 401 interchanges should be
improved or added, in this order of priority:
9
Joint Report No. 97-J-2
Lakeridge Road
Harmony Road
Stevenson Road
Pickering Beach Road/Harwood Avenue
Page 10
5.2 Implementation of these initiatives will depend on the completion of staging,
financial and technical studies. While obtaining financing for the undertakings
may prove challenging at this time, the necessary studies should commence.
To facilitate this work, the Planning and Works Departments will initiate a
working group, comprised of representatives from the area municipalities,
MTO, and other affected parties. The working group would identify study
requirements and commence initial tasks.
5.3 Should the ultimate widening of Highway 401 and the extension of Highway
407 not be realized in a timely manner, other interim improvements may be
required. The merit of improving or adding the other interchanges, such as
Simcoe Street, Colonel Sam Drive, Prestonvale Road, and Waverly Road,
and grade separations, such as Notion Road, Audley Road, Annes Road,
and Hopkins Street, identified in the ROP, may need to be examined prior to
the ultimate Highway 401 expansion.
5.4 The Planning and Works Departments will continue to keep Committees
informed of the status and priority of transportation infrastructure
improvement needs in the Region, and report on the progress of the
aforementioned initiatives.

PITCH-IN ONTARIO!

AGENDA
Dear Municipal Leaders,
PITCH-IN was founded 30 years aao by six volunteers who cleaned up their favourite beaches and the
community in which they lived. Our voluntary project, with heJp from local govemments, eventually spread
across Canada and in 1991 we joined millions of people in more than 80 countries to Clean Up the World.
We are now on the intemet at www.PITCH-IN.caIThis allows us to provide manv more free materials than
ever before and continue to respond, using less resources, to volunteers for the next 30 vears! Our Web
Site already has much to offer and is still growing! On the back of this letter you will find a small .poster"
announcing our web site. PLEASE PHOTOCOPY AND DISTRIBUTE it to your PARKS & RECREATION,
WORKS AND OPERA nONS and any other Department! Our mailing address and phonelfax will chanae
in June, 1997 but our web site will not- so please check our Web Site for our new address!
Our Web Site provides detailed "downloadable" information about: PITCH-IN CANADA Week (May 5-11);
the PITCH-IN CANADA CIVIC PRIDE Program to save clean-up costs for local municipalities; PITCH-IN
CANADA Coastal Clean Up (September); Pollution Counts (any time); and many more activities. A
Registration Form for PITCH-IN CANADA Week is enclosed with this letter. Please fill it in and retum it no
later than March 31. 1997, Or register "on-line" and download a free Certificate of Participation. Either retum
the form Q! register .on-Iine"! We urge your municipality to provide FREE PITCH-IN BAGS to your local
volunteers. If desired, special PITCH-IN bags can be purchased from us and we can distribute bags to your
groups. Our web site has many other suggestions about how your municipality can participate and assist
local PITCH-IN volunteers. Volunteers save you money in clean-up costs!
We'd like to "connect" our Web Site to yours! Share what your community is doing to .Pitch-In". You may use
our PITCH-IN symbol as a "hyperlink" to direct visitors to our site. Let us know your Web address!
PITCH-IN is a volunteer oraanization. We rely on our "Subscribing Members" to enable us to continue
this important program which reduces local clean up costs. Help maintain our campaigns and our Web
Site. Every "hit" on our Site from a school, Scout, Guide or other voluntary group in your community costs us
money. In retum for your contribution, starting at $75 for small communities and up to $500 for major centres
you receive a Certificate and, if reauested, a charitable receipt. You decide how much vou are able to
contribute - everv contribution helps! Please visit our web site for background information about PITCH-IN
CANADA and a list of our directors.
As one of the original 6 volunteers 30 years a'go, I never anticipated that PITCH-IN would grow as it has. Our
philosophy has stood the test: environmental protection starts with each of us and it is through citizen-
based action, big and small, that we will make a difference in the world we share. now and with future
!lenerations.

My recent trip to the Far East with the Prime Minister's Team
Canada trade team provided me with the perspective that we are indeed
living in a global community; our world is gradually becoming a smaller
place. In. addition, major developments are taking place in South Africa and
in other countries around the globe in a rapidly changing world. In
recognizing this special day to combat racism, Canadians are determined
to be' in the forefront, as we join this international effort in a way that is
uniquely Canadian.. Wor1<ing in partnership with the federal government in
this Campaign ,weare striving to become a more toleranfsociety while
simultaneouslY building dynamic citizenship;
.In the January-February issue of FCM's Forum, you VIiII read about .
a number of suggestions for activities of participation in this effort: As
Honourary, Chair of FCM's Campaign,.1 Challenge you to Come up with
exciting new initiatives ,which can bathe springboard for planning activities
throughout the year. As a start,' you can, for instance:
