PRESENTATIONS
Cliff Curtis, Commissioner of Works, Region of Durham, Jim McKay, Stantec and
Dr. Christopher Ollson, Stantec addressed Council to provide an Update on the
Durham/York Residual Waste EA Study.
Through use of a PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Curtis provided a brief update on the
status of the Durham/York Residual Waste Study Environmental Assessment process.
Mr. Curtis reviewed a chronology of events and timelines highlighting significant
project dates and outlining next steps in the process. Mr. Curtis stated the
Environmental Assessment (EA) was submitted to the Ministry of the Environment on
July 31, 2009, with an amended EA which included minor revisions submitted on
November 27, 2009 and an Addendum to the EA regarding the procurement process
submitted on December 16, 2009. He noted a Notice of Completion of the Ministry
review of the Environmental Assessment is anticipated mid-February and that there
will be a five week review period for public inspection of the Ministry's review. Mr.
Curtis stated that if all goes well, the EA could be in the Minister's office by late June
or early July, and then forwarded to Cabinet for approval. Mr. Curtis confirmed that
the Minister can refer all or part of the application to an Environmental Review
Tribunal, to mediation or can proceed to a decision of either approval, approval with
conditions or refusal.
Council Meeting Minutes - 3 - February 8, 2010
Mr. Curtis indicated that $13,422,000 was the approved budget for the Environmental
Assessment and expenditures to the end of 2009 are approximately $11,700,000 split
50/50 with York Region. He stated there are sufficient funds remaining to implement
the EFW project to EA approval excluding referral to the Environmental Review
Tribunal or mediation but noted however, that there is no indication those actions will
be required. Jim McKay, Stantec, confirmed that modeling and results regarding the
PM 2.5 issue have not changed.
In response to questions, Mr. Curtis confirmed that the approval is for 140,000 tonnes
and that a new EA would have to be submitted under regulations at the time for
expansion to a 400,000 tonne facility. Mr. Curtis stated he believes the document
submitted in December is internally consistent, complete and correct and he has no
cause for concern with what was submitted noting that all amendments and
addendum are summarized in the Rationale and Concordance Tables of
http://www.durhamvorkwaste.ca/amended ea study doc.php.
DELEGATIONS
Louis Bertrand addressed Council concerning Staff Report #1 -Report PSD-021-10 -
Durham/York Residual Waste Environmental Assessment Re-engagement of Peer
Review Consultants -Air Quality Impacts. Mr. Bertrand advised the work that is being
presented to the public by the Ministry is not only a review of the EA Study but also
the comments by the Government Review Team, the public, proponents and
responses to those comments. It is an ongoing interactive process and it is crucial
that the peer reviewers follow up on the comments. Mr. Bertrand indicated. that this is
the last chance that stakeholders will have to provide input into the project before the
Minister makes a decision and urged Council to request SENES to confirm in writing
that they have reviewed the document. Mr. Bertrand urged Council to defeat the staff
recommendation.
Doug Anderson addressed Council concerning Staff Report #1 -Report PSD-021-10 -
Durham/York Residual Waste Environmental Assessment Re-engagement of Peer
Review Consultants -Air Quality Impacts. Mr. Anderson expressed concern that the
Report seems to suggest that a reduction in capacity has solved all the problems. He
feels that 400,000 tonnes was added to the EA to avoid the necessity of conducting a
future EA. Mr. Anderson stated he provided Council with figures last year showing
that the numbers don't add up and this information was simply ignored because the
Business Case is not part of the EA. Mr. Anderson stated the majority of politicians in
Durham Region share the concerns of Clarington constituents regarding air pollution
in Durham Region and he urged Council to listen to the public, reject the staff
recommendation and re-engage the peer reviewers to look beyond the scope of the
EA.
Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - February 8, 2010
Dale Hunt addressed Council concerning Item 2 of Report #1 -Report PSD-015-10 -
To Rezone Residential and Limited Commercial Properties to Permit the Construction
of a New Retail Commercial Building. Ms. Hunt stated she feels appearing before
Council this evening regarding 57 Mill Street South would be premature and that she
will wait until the site plan process begins.
Beth Markle advised that she would not be addressing Council
Wendy Bracken addressed Council concerning Staff Report #1 -Report PSD-021-10
- Durham/York Residual Waste Environmental Assessment Re-engagement of Peer
Review Consultants -Air Quality Impacts. Ms. Bracken stated she disagrees with the
recommendation contained in the staff report and is concerned that the public does
not have a written report from SENES to determine their reasoning. She stated that
air quality impacts cannot be limited to a 400,000 tonne per year facility. Ms. Bracken
drew Council's attention to comments of Heath Canada reviewers regarding the
requirement for additional mitigation measures noting the consultant's response was
contrary in recommending that additional mitigation measures not be taken.
Ms. Bracken urged Council to conduct another peer review due to the number of items
that were not signed off. She also stated that Clarington peer reviewers did not
comment on the final or amended EA and expressed concern that the Project Team is
still using outdated Ministry of the Environment Ambient Air Standards instead of the
appropriate toxicity reference standards.
Louis Bertrand addressed Council concerning the Presentation. of Cliff Curtis,
Commissioner of Works, Region of Durham, Jim McKay, Stantec and. Dr. Christopher
Ollson, Stantec - Update on the Energy-From-Waste EA. Mr. Bertrand stated he has
grave concerns with the EA process as it stands in terms of how it has evolved and its
ability to protect the public from a potentially harmful product. Mr. Bertrand feels the
municipality is not getting the "best of the best" which was promised and questioned if
the best approach is being taken for the benefit of the public. Mr. Bertrand expressed
concern that the project website was not up-to-date for the longest time and that the
January 15`h table of comments and responses was posted at the bottom of a very
long list of reports under "What's New".
Wendy Bracken addressed Council concerning the Presentation of Cliff Curtis,
Commissioner of Works, Region of Durham, Jim McKay, Stantec and Dr. Christopher
Ollson, Stantec-Update on the Energy-From-Waste EA. She expressed concern
that Mr. Curtis referred to the first amendment to the EA as dealing with minor matters
and does not consider changing from a 400,000 tonne facility to a 140,000 tonne
facility a minor matter. Ms. Bracken stated the main concerns raised by Clarington
peer reviewers were not changed. She noted that the Clarington Peer Reviewers
provided comments on the Draft EA only, not the Final or Amended EA. She urged
Council to have reviewers look at mitigation measures that Health Canada is
recommending as particulate matter is a key pollutant and Health Canada has
commented that the project will significantly add to air quality issues.
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - February 8, 2010
Linda Gasser addressed Council concerning the Presentation of Cliff Curtis,
Commissioner of Works, Region of Durham, Jim McKay, Stantec and Dr. Christopher
Ollson, Stantec -Update on the Energy-From-Waste EA. Ms. Gasser stated it is a
huge struggle to get accurate and timely information from the proponents and Project
Team and that citizen reviewers has been concerned with cost and process issues for
some time. Ms. Gasser advised that as the potential host community it is essential
that staff and Council fully understand the EA process. She urged Council to read the
Ministry of the Environment's Code of Practice to understand their role. Ms. Gasser
expressed concern that Durham staff have indicated that only minor amendments
were made to the EA and she has made the logical assumption based on her review
and on the technical reviewer's comments that the prospects fora 400,000 tonne
facility were not that good. Ms. Gasser stated this project has great potential to cause
serious human heal and environmental impacts.
Linda Gasser addressed Council concerning Staff Report #1 -Report PSD-021-10 -
Durham/York Residual Waste Environmental Assessment Re-engagement of Peer
Review Consultants -Air Quality Impacts. Ms. Gasser stated the staff
recommendation is premature and that there has been no Ministry of the Environment
"sign off' on air quality or site specific health concerns. She stated that issues
continue to be raised. by citizen reviewers and other technical reviewers and that they
could be included. Ms. Gasser feels it is imperative that Council is made aware of the
contents of the SENES response and knowing what SENSES reviewed and their
comments is a Council responsibility. She indicated that neither SENSES nor staff
have reviewed the Final EA document and that doing a peer review would not delay
the EA process. Ms. Gasser expects that Council will make the health and welfare of
Clarington residents a priority and urged them to defeat recommendation #2 and to
engage peer reviewers to perform this review as part of their due diligence.
Kristin Robinson addressed Council concerning Staff Report #1 -Report PSD-021-10
- Durham/York Residual Waste Environmental Assessment Re-engagement of Peer
Review Consultants -Air Quality Impacts. Ms. Robinson expressed concern that air
quality issues have not been addressed and requested Council to re-engage the peer
reviewers. She feels that the community's health has not been protected and
questioned whose advice Council will take, Health Canada's or the Project Team's.
She also stated that in her opinion, it would appear that a municipality who does not
make formal comments does not care one way or the other and she feels the Host
Community would have something to say. Ms. Robinson requested that Council re-
engage experts to look at all the problems the community reviewers are bringing
forward.

several Regional Standing Committees and Regional Council;
expressing concern that neither the Committees nor Regional Council
are being provided with sufficient information regarding the EA study
process and costs to be aware of the project status, to determine
what the prospects are for EA approval and what the costs to
complete the project would be, or that clear and sufficient direction to
the Project Team staff is given to ensure proper project oversight and
regular detailed updates; expressing concern that the Project Team

questioning whether the current project team consultants are capable

"WHEREAS the Ombudsman is the "citizen representative" and the
Office of the Ombudsman is responsible for responding to complaints
affecting government organizations save and except hospitals, long-
term care facilities and children's aid societies;
AND WHEREAS the Office of the Ombudsman has been advocating
since 1975 to ihclude hospitals, under the jurisdiction of the
Ombudsman, but to date, Ontario remains the only Province in
Canada who's Ombudsman has no jurisdiction over hospitals and
long-term care facilities;
AND WHEREAS hospitals spend more than $20 billion in public
money every year in Ontario;
AND WHEREAS whether overseeing the police, the military or the
Provincial government, Mr. Marin has stated one of the beliefs that's
closest to his heart is that these bodies don't exist for their own ends.
They exist to serve the public. The public also has great expectations
of the checks and balances that exist to keep the system functioning
as it should;
AND WHEREAS the historical reason for not including hospitals
under the Ombudsman Act is extremely weak and is based on the
fact they do not fall under the definition because they have their own
elected boards;
AND WHEREAS a municipal "board of directors" is directly elected by
the public and the hospital board is not;
Summary of Correspondence - 13 - March 1, 2010
AND WHEREAS the Office of the Ombudsman is quoted as saying
"Ontario is the only province in Canada whose Ombudsman does not
have a mandate to oversee hospitals. Despite this, the
Ombudsman's Office receives many serious complaints about
hospitals every year that cannot be investigated. A total of 276
complaints about hospitals were received in fiscal 2007-2008";
AND WHEREAS the time has come for the Government of Ontario to
include hospitals under the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman Act to
ensure a high level of health care, fiscal responsibility, accountability,
openness and transparency;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the
Town of Gravenhurst hereby petitions the Premier of Ontario to take
the necessary steps in a timely manner to amend the Ombudsman
Act to include hospitals under the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman;
AND FURTHER THAT in the event the Premier responds negatively,
the Council of the Town of Gravenhurst respectfully requests and
expects a full and complete explanation as to why the Province will
not amehd the Act as requested;
AND FURTHER THAT this resolution be circulated to all
municipalities in the Province of Ontario for support;
AND THAT the appropriate persons be so notified of this action;
AND THAT the Premier of Ontario, Minister of Health and Long-Term
Care, Speaker of the Ontario Legislature, District of Muskoka MPPs,
Ontario's Ombudsman, Chief Medical Officer of Health, aIPHa, and all
Ontario boards of health and municipalities be so advised."

GUEST: Greg Bales, MNR
Greg provided a presentation on Wildlife Predation, including deer, coyotes, turkeys and
other birds, raccoons and how to report, control predation.
The following reading material was also made available to members of the Committee:
Fact Sheet -Coyotes in the Community, Strategy for Preventing and Managing Human-
Wildlife Conflicts in Ontario, .How td Differentiate Between Coyote and Dog Predation on
Sheep, and Fencing Options in Predator Control.
Questions/Answer session:
Complaints along the lake front about geese becoming a nuisance
Canada Geese are protected under the Migratory Bird Act. The problem can however
be addressed by keeping grass long and/or by planting shrubs/hedges along certain
sections of the beach front which should discourage geese to easily maneuver between
the water's edge and the grazing areas. Dogs are used in some municipalities to
control geese on waterfronts, golf courses, etc.
The numbers and statistics collected by MNR are based on information provided by
hunters, number of licenses issued and extra tags. Many of the committee members
question the statistics as they do not relate to their experience on the land.
Bounties were discussed as they have been introduced in some other counties. Greg
indicates that initially they are successful but then the populations rebound and over the
long term there is no noticeable improvement, plus it is a costly system of control. It is
better to encourage landowners to allow hunters onto their land.
The Municipal Clerk is going to provide the by-laws applicable to the discharge of
firearms, etc. In addition, land owners need to be aware of hunting seasons, unless
they are protecting their own property.
It appears that since Clarington is broken up into 3 areas by MNR, namely 72A, 72B
and 73 that there is confusion. In 72A only bow hunting is allowed and since it is more
difficult, there are few hunters in this area, which means that the deer have moved into
the area. Hunting is a tool to control wildlife and committee members were encouraged
to allow hunting on their lands. As land owners they need to encourage hunting, lack of
hunting means the populations go up and then biodiversity drops.
Deadstock is a problem since there are so few that wish to pick it up. There needs to
be a better plan and support (financial) in place for the removal of dead livestock from
farms.. Greg indicated that this matter will be taken up with MNR Management.
According to the livestock valuator, when calving is near the barns or in barns it is
easier for the farmers to prove that they have deadstock. For calving that happens in
the fields, the coyotes get lots of young but there is nothing left so the farmers cannot
claim. The behaviour of coyotes is not particularly changing, but they do adapt and are
no longer fearful of people and appear to be bolder.
Problems with non-farm land owners that do not want hunters on their property. Part of
the solution lies in education on deforestation and how to improve the biodiversity in
forests.
Gary thanked Greg for attending and providing the presentation. Gary also thanked the
Mayor, Clerk and Livestock valuator for taking the time to attend the meeting to hear
Greg and the discussion by committee members.
AACC Feb 11, 2010
BUSINESS ARISING FROM MINUTES
Side loading on Regional Roads was highlighted in the minutes and an email to this
effect was sent to Cliff Curtis. Cliff had indicated that he would have staff respond on
this issue. Gord Robinson will follow-up with Regional Works.
Climatic Assessment -Marlene provided an update that the application appeared to be
too "Regional", .the granting agency was looking for province-wide applications.
Marlene believes there may be other avenues to fund this study.
2009 Accomplishments -Gary provided an update at the January 25th GPA meeting.
GRCA/CLOCA stewardship #unding -Additional work on understanding the disparities
between the two CA's is required.
Corporations -Gary has had a conversation with John O'Toole about the lack of
understanding by OMAFRA and other Ministries that most farmers are corporations and
the penalties that could apply in the different Acts do not acknowledge this issue.
Rather the penalties for corporations were designed for large multi-nationals. Gary will
follow-up with John O'Toole and through his other provincial contacts.
CORRESPONDENCE
Notice from John O'Toole about research on the Greenbelt and its impacts on farm
incomes ".....the real impact of the Greenbelt legislation on farming since its,
introduction will be revealed only after the publication of the next agricultural census
data in 2011".
CLOCA letter about disparity in stewardship funding explaining a few observations.
DEAC Awards notification (circulated).
Tour of Oshawa Harbour (Port) is Monday, Feb 22 as sent out to members, you must
RSVP to attend (security check-in, etc).
Green Energy Act -requirements for renewable energy approvals and consultation
requirements. Municipality not the approval authority, but must be consulted.
Memo on Green Energy Act - providing a update on the process that producers have to
follow under the Green Energy Act, they must consult with the municipality, approval is
not required. Approval is granted directly by the Province as outlined in the memo for
the types of energy defined as "green".
AACC ~ Feb 11, 2010
REPORTS FROM OTHER COMMITTEES
DAAC
Hubert Schilling re-elected as Chair. Majority of meeting was spent on Lake Scugog
Environmental Plan, committee members noted that the messaging is misleading
because of the way information is being presented.
Durham Federation of Agriculture
Andrew Frew elected as new chair. April 6, 7, 8 is Farm Connections. They are
applying for Trillium funding. Insurance and funding are issues that they are trying to
address for the long term. Councillor Robinson suggested the group apply for a
municipal grant. Gord and Faye to follow-up with Mary Ann and Brenda.
Other items- new Minister of Agriculture, Carol Mitchell from Huron County. Wildlife
predation is an issue for many farmers, DRFA is monitoring situation.
Clarington Board of Trade
The Board is working on its strategic planning which Donald is participating in. Known
to be some 1100 businesses in Clarington, of which only approximately 200 are
members of CBOT. There are 20 farming operations/businesses in Clarington that
gross aver $1 million a year, but they are not members. There was a general
consensus that Agricultural businesses could benefit from CBOT membership and vice
versa
A couple of ideas CBOT is considering are: soliciting food processors; promoting local
food production; if Oshawa Harbour is not receptive to agricultural product shipment can
that happen in Clarington? There needs to be vertical integration with community to
have agricultural benefits. Potential thoughts about establishing an agricultural "think
tank".
OTHER BUSINESS
Agri-tourism -Faye had sent a primer to the committee to think about what Secondary
uses fall within the category of agri-tourism. In the case of a winery, the connection
between grape growing and having a winery are clear but then when the winery
becomes a bistro and gift shop is that secondary? Agri-tourism is relatively new and
defining what is a secondary use on the farm is one of the issues the Planning Services
Department is pondering. _
Agri-tourism breaks into 3 categories, agri-entertainment (weddings, pumpkin cannons,
wrn mazes), agri-education (on farm tours, classroom setting), and agri-culinary
(experience regional cuisine).
At the August 21, 2008 committee meeting, members were briefed on the review of the
Official Plan. As part of the review the current 2 tier structure of Clarington's Official
Plan being General and Prime Agricultural lands will have to be modified into one
category as "prime' to match the Region's designation and definition: The Region's
Official Plan allows for agri-tourism uses but leaves the criteria for them and restrictions
on them to the local municipal Official Plans.
AACC Feb 11, 2010
The Provincial Policy Statement defines:
Agri-related uses: means those farm related commercial and farm related industrial
uses that are small scale and directly related to the farm operation and are required in
close proximity to the farm operation.
Secondary uses: means uses secondary to the principal use of the property, including
home occupations, home industries, and uses that produce value-added agricultural
products from the farm operation on the farm property.
In Clarington's Official Plan it would be possible to provide farmers with the option of
having agri-tourism as a use "as of right". Alternatively agri-tourism could be provided
as an option but would require a site specific zoning amendment. Zoning amendments
are costly and many may be deterred from obtaining them. An example of this type of
zoning approval already exists for golf courses.
Income can not be used as a land use control mechanism and even the definition of
"secondary" becomes confusing when wineries are the secondary use and grape
growing the primary, since the value-added component is the more profitable business.
With the trend towards "destination and/or event weddings" some wineries which cater
to this business have become problems for their neighbours because of traffic, noise,
etc. However, the same could be true for corn drying operations, farm machinery
welding/repair or riding stables.
The overall consensus from the committee was that the municipality must maintain a,
level of control and be careful in what it allows. Committee members support agri-
tourism but question whether it should be available "as of right°. They believe agri-
education should be encouraged but with controls in place. What is to be protected is
the resource, the soil and its production potential. It was emphasized that the zoning
carries with the land not the operator.

Joe provided a hard copy of the Winter 2010 Newsletter. The newsletter has now been
printed and is in the process of being distributed to the mailing list.
Shirley will place copies of the newsletter at the Wheelhouse in the Wilmot Community.
Karin will post the laminated version on the kiosk.
5. Updates
Winter Bird and Mammal Count
A Winter Bird and Mammal Count was conducted on February 7. The count was lead by
John Foster from the Durham Field Naturalists. Three teams were assembled to count at
different areas of the SWNA. Committee members present were David Best, Jim Cleland,
John Stoner, Karin Murphy, Shirley Minifie, Dan Stanoi and Brian Reid. Five others
from the Durham Field Naturalists also participated.
The consensus of those who attended was that it was a good first step and learning
experience and the results will provide a good baseline for future counts.
A significant number of water birds were counted but the overall numbers and vaziety of
birds was low which is consistent with other 2010 bird counts in Ontario.
Unfortunately the lack of snow made the mammal count difficult since tracks were hard
to find. Some of the mammals counted were American Beaver, Muskrat, Eastern
Cottontail, Red Fox, Coyote, and White Tailed Deer.
The results from the count will be brought to a future SWNA meeting
Trail Relocation -Cost Estimate
At the January meeting, two conceptual layouts were presented to illustrate how the 27%
trail slope east of the pedestrian bridge can be reduced. The committee endorsed the
option that re-routes the trail S/E from the bottom of the slope for approximately 100m
until it reconnects with the existing trail. This would decrease the grade on the trail to
10% and would remove a small portion of the trail that currently encroaches onto the
Hydro One corridor.
The cost estimate for the project including all engineering, taxes and contingencies was
$77,000. Although there is no funding currently available to complete the work the
conceptual design and cost estimate will be valuable should the project be included in a
future capital budget or if a trail funding program becomes available through another
level of government.
Newsletter/SWNA blog
The Winter 2010 Newsletter was the last print edition. The option of creating an SWNA
blog in lieu of a Newsletter was discussed. A blog would be easily accessible to anyone
doing an intemet search for the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area. The blog could provide up-
to-date information about the SWNA, future events or work occurring at the SWNA.
Information could be posted to the blog immediately rather than accumulating stories for
a future newsletter. After discussion of the blog's potential benefits the following
Resolution was moved by Brian Reid, seconded by David Best;
That the SWNA establish a blog to provide up to date information on BWNA activities
and events.
Carved
It was agreed that all information provided by SWNA Committee members for the blog
would be sent to the Municipality. Jennifer O'Donnell would upload the information to
the blog.
Trails Omen 2010
In conjunction with Doors Open Ontario the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario
(ACO) will feature trail walks as part of their 2010 program of events. The Clarington
Branch of the ACO has requested that the S WNA be included as a Trails Open site. The
events are timed to coincide with Doors Open on the weekend of June 5 and 6. A
minimum of one guided tour must be offered on the day of the event lasting from 30
minutes to four hours. After discussing the merits of participating in the Trails Open the
following Resolution was moved by Karin Murphy, seconded by Pat Mulcahy;
That the SWNA committee agree to participate in Trails Open 2010 and offer guided
tours of the site on June 5 and 6.
Carried
Discussion about the details of the event determined that the S WNA tours could start
from the Cobbledick parking lot at 2:00 PM on both June 5 and 6 and will last 1-1.5
hours. Brian Reid and David Best have volunteered to be available for the tours, others
may also be available but could not commit at this time. Karin Murphy will contact
Leslie Wilson from the Newcastle and District Historical Society to see if she would be
4
interested in participating in the tours or if she would be available to attend a future
SWNA meeting to brief members about interesting historical details of the site that they
could use during the guided tours.
Further discussion with the Clarington branch of the ACO to firm up details of the event
will be required.
Evergreen Green Grants Program
An application was submitted to Evergreen in advance of January 29, 2010 deadline. The
proposed project would include tree and shrub planting in the riparian zones, the old
fields, and along the edges of the SWNA. John Stoner has received confirmation that the
application was received by Evergreen and that funding decisions will be made by March
31, 2010.
Recvcled Bat Boxes
Jim Cleland brought a sample of a bat box made from recycled plastic. The box was very
sturdy but also very heavy. The cost of the bat box wasn't known but it would be
investigated further if the committee decides to install more bat boxes in the future.
6. Other Business/Next Meeting
Brian will talk with John Foster about holding a spring event at the SWNA themed
around Wildflowers.

CORRESPONDENCE
Receive for Information
I - 23 Linda Gasser writing to Durham Regional Councillors advising that a draft Host
Community Agreement (HCA) regarding the Energy-From-Waste project was not
presented to Clarington Council for review prior to the Agreement being executed
and that there was no public consultation with Clarington residents as to what
should be considered in the Agreement; expressing concern that Clarington's
Chief Administrative Officer may have opted to override comments from the
Municipal Solicitor, questioning why the HCA was signed in advance of the
decision on the Environmental Assessment and prior to knowing what conditions
of EA approval might be imposed; and, urging Regional Councillors to request a
status update on current negotiations regarding along-term contract with Covanta
and to provide clear direction to staff to ensure that a draft contract with Covanta is
reviewed by Council prior to execution.
I - 24 The Honourable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, extending an
invitation to Council to consider nominating an exceptional individual for the Order
of Ontario, Ontario's highest honour, recognizing individuals for their extraordinary

and beyond. The deadline for nominations is March 16, 2010.
