Terry Caswell, Committee of Clarke Constituents, P.O. Box 20028,
Newcastle, LIB 1M3, addressed Council to congratulate the returning and
the new members of Council. Over the years, the Committee of Clarke
Constituents has had a strong working relationship with previous
municipal Councils. We listened to each other and have on occasion
worked together to promote the common goal of protecting the
environment. They look forward to continuing this relationship. One of
the most pressing issues has been and continues to be Landfill. The old
'no longer accepting waste' site north of Newtonville has been refused
expansion or the owners withdrew such applications for over twenty years.
Once again, citing a need, the original owners of the site have sent to
Durham Regional Councillors an 'advance notice of their intention' to re-
open and expand. The fact that Clarington Waste Processing Centre has
gone directly to Durham Works and by passed Clarington Council is, in
itself, questionable. Another issue has been by-law infractions and
enforcement. Newcastle Recycling has had notice gi ven them for nearly
three years. Still, no enforcement or apparent remedial action has been
taken. Residents, present and future of Clarington deserve to live in a
community where all by-laws are respected and enforced within a
reasonable time frame.

Dan Whelan, Director General, Energy Resources Branch, Natural
Resources Canada, regarding the development of a legal agreement for the
long-term management of local low-level radioactive wastes. Mr. Whelan
is pleased to see that an agreement has been prepared and is ready for
signature. Prior to the Government of Canada being able to sign the
agreement, it must be reviewed by the federal Cabinet. In the wake of the
recent federal election, it is difficult to define the precise timing of that
review or the subsequent signature of the agreement. However, they are
working towards being in a position to have the new Cabinet review the
agreement as soon as possible in the new year, and hopefully within the
first quarter. Signature of the legal agreement by the federal government,
as the last party to execute it, will make the agreement effective and
trigger the payment of the host community assistance payments.

other elements to assist them in expediting Project implementation.

Roy C. Forrester, Clarington Chapter Chair, Oak Ridges Trail Association,
inviting Council to the Annual Meeting of the Oak Ridges Trail
Association on May 12 at the Orono Town Hall. The first step in the
development of an Oak Ridges Trail was undertaken in late September,
2000, when Council gave approval for a 44 kilometer trail across the
northern section of the municipality. This certainly met with member
approval of the local Chapter as well as the parent body of the
Association. Physical development since September finds 20 kIDs of trail
at near completion with a few lose ends to tie. This takes one from north
of the Long Sault Conservation Area to the west side of Highway 115. It
covers some most interesting terrain and land form as well as being mostly
on unopened road allowances. This is certainly an attraction to bring
hikers out into the country to visit, exercise and enjoy the great outdoors.
They do plan to develop blue bird nest communities, rest areas and look-
outs to Lake Ontario. There has been objection to the trail in passing
through Lot 32, Concession 8, by the owner of the property. Due to this
concern the firm of Brown and Coggan was engaged to survey the
property as outlined on Plan lOR -915. This set the parameters of the
Unopened Road Allowance as well as those of the Swamp Road as it
crosses through Lots 32 and 31. A section of 700 feet is yet to be
surveyed on the east side of Lot 32. Some trail clearing has been
completed. A trail does now exist on the eastern section of Swamp Road
as it passes along Lot 31. There have been no objections here.

Tony Clement, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, congratulating
Mayor Mutton and Council on their new mandate to serve the people. A
new, stronger relationship between municipalities and the provincial
government is at the top of his agenda. Mr. Clement is inviting Mayor and
Council to bring forth any additional comments or suggestions regarding
the new Municipal Act. Greater accountability will also be assured
through the Municipal Performance Measurement Program. That program
requires municipalities to report annually to their taxpayers on how they
performed in nine core service areas. Other priorities we will be
addressing together include:
. Improving Ontario's infrastructure, as we move ahead with the five-
year, $20 billion SuperBuild initiative, designed to spearhead and
facilitate the largest infrastructure building program in Ontario's
history;
. Consolidating delivery of important local social services at the local
level, subject to the approval of the Legislature, by transferring the
administration of social housing to municipalities;
. Encouraging the clean-up and rejuvenation of former commercial or
industrial properties through their Brownfields initiative

Mary Dunlop, Chair of the Pre&Post Natal Nutrition Project Steering
Committee, addressing Council on a serious issue that faces many women
living in Oshawa and sits at the heart of access to services, of
discrimination and of quality of life. Several agencies in our region work
together in a collaborati ve framework to provide a variety of supports at
several sites throughout the region to pregnant women and new mothers
living on low-income or who are isolated. While many agencies have
been able to work in partnership, they face constant frustration regarding
affordable and appropriate public transportation. Program participants tell
their front line staff of rude bus drivers, poor transit connections and
inadequate scheduling. Some are actually passed by as they wait at a bus
stop.

The population they serve typically does not feel they have a voice to
work toward change so this committee has made a decision to call all
transit commissions and departments in the region to be accountable. A
huge concern to the agencies involved in the Pre&Post Natal Nutrition
Project is the discriminatory policy that requires women to fold strollers
before boarding a bus. For many women this is physically impossible to
manage with a baby, diaper bag, groceries, etc. Support agencies often
face the need to pay private transportation systems because of this
systemic discrimination. They invite the municipality to join the network
of integrated partnerships, starting with their committee, in order to
address the service delivery issues in our municipality and region.

City of Kenora on December 18,2000, passed the following resolution:
"WHEREAS the provincial government authorized alternate
voting methods in the Municipal Elections Act in 1996; and
WHEREAS one of the methods outlined in the new legislation was
"vote by mail"; and
WHEREAS 1997 was the first year that the vote by mail system
was used by some 20 municipalities in the province of Ontario, and
75 municipalities authorized the use of "vote by mail" in 2000; and
WHEREAS the vote by mail system does provide for higher voter
turn-out, more administrative control and a convenience for the
electorate, it does not provide for the slitting of the secrecy
envelopes and unfolding of ballots prior to the close of polls,
which results in a very time consuming process before results can
be tallied;
