Beth Campbell, 9 Spry Avenue, Bowmanville, on behalf of the Bowmanville
Minor Hockey Association, circulated documentation wherein she advised that the

Championship Tournament from April 14 - 16, 1995. She requested Council's
support by sponsoring some or all of the ice time required for the tournament
or/and a financial contribution.
Evylin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, Bowmanville, L1C 1J9, circulated
correspondence wherein she requested that one hour parking metres be installed
on the east side of Temperance Street, across from the Clarington Public Library
in order to discourage commuters and people who work downtown from parking
there all day.

Stan Racansky, Friends of the Farewell, 3200 Hancock Road, Courtice, L1E 2M1,
referred to his previous letter of February 20, 1995, wherein he expressed his
opposition to residential development taking place until a full environmental
assessment study and/or a complete watershed study has been undertaken.
Henry Alexander, 3590 Trulls Road, Courtice, L1E 2L2, was called but was not
present.
Council Minutes - 4 - March 13, 1995
DELEGATIONS
John and Kerry Meydam, 3828 Trulls Road, Courtice, L1E 2L3, circulated
documentation dated March 13, 1995, wherein it is stated that "we believe that
before a decision to approve the inclusion of this land as living area or included
within the new Courtice Urban Boundary, an independent environmental
assessment should be undertaken. The lands should be protected due to their
environmental importance as being critical to the maintenance of the Coldwater
fish habitat adjacent to and downstream of the planned area." They concluded by
stating that "inclusion of this area is neither necessary or desirable in relation to
the total Durham Region Official Plan and should be left out of the planned
urban boundary."
Ugo Costanzo, 4131 Trulls Road, R.R. #3, Bowmanville, L1C 3K4, advised that
he lives on the northeast corner of Trulls and Pebblestone Roads and that
Farewell Creek runs through 100 metres of his property. He circulated a letter
dated May 12, 1994 from the Ministry of Natural Resources which states that,
after sampling the fish ix a 50 metre section of the Farewell Creek on his
property, they found approximately 192 fish from 10 different species which
included trout which are among the most sensitive species to habitat degradation.
The moderate number of rainbow trout found would suggest that the habitat is in
fair condition. Mr. Costanzo voiced opposition to this application stating that by
allowing development on the south side of Pebblestone, the water problems may
be solved for the rural residents but new water problems will be created for the
residents north of Pebblestone.
Ken and Micheline Ball, 3826 Trulls Road, Courtice, L1E 2E3, circulated a letter
wherein he advised that "what used to be a partially treed 10 acre parcel of land
across the road from our property, has become a cleared field." Since that time,
they have observed deer and other wildlife roaming in the area. Due to these
clearings, a previous wildlife habitat linkage between Farewell Creek Valley and
the Trulls Road -Courtice Road woods, have been eliminated. They voiced
opposition to the incompatibility of the proposed houses to the existing "estate
residential" type homes.
James M. Richards, Executive Director, Friends of the Second Marsh, 206 King
Street East, Oshawa, L1H 8R4, circulated documentation dated March 1, 1995,
wherein the following comments were offered:
- A watershed study should be undertaken;
- The draft plan of subdivision must provide for the preservation and
enhancement of tributary channels of Farewell Creek; use of the
Farewell Creek valley slopes and floor should be discouraged;
- The base flow in Farewell Creek must not be diminished;
- The area of tableland forest that was recently cut over to remove trees,
should be developed as living area at a density that does not exceed
estate residential development densities; and
Council Minutes
DELEGATIONS
-5-
March 13, 1995
Current fisheries information should be collected for Farewell Creek
prior to assessment and evaluation of the fish community and regard
for potential development impacts.
He requested that Friends of the Second Marsh be placed on a circulation list for
land development proposals within these watersheds.
David Greenspan and W.D. Manson, W.D.M. Consultants, 20 Clematis Road,
Willowdale, M2J 4X2, circulated the following documentation:
Table 4.2 -Conceptual Servicing Report for Farewell Creek Community
by D.G. Biddle and Associates (April 1993) -Proposed stormwater
detention pond for Deferral No. 6 Area is so effective that it over-
controls surface drainage peak flows from subdivisions to less than pre-
development levels for all storms;
Table 2.4 -Summary of peak flows for the 100 year storm from
stormwater Management Assessment Study and Monitoring Program by
Marshal, Macklin, Monaghan (February 1991) -stormwater detention
ponds on the Farewell CreekBlack Creek System adequately control
peak stormwater discharges from subdivisions; and
A map of the area highlighting residential development which surrounds
the subject lands.
COMMiJNICATIONS
Mr. Greenspan advised that the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Central
Lake Ontario Conservation Authority have very stringent sedimentation controls
in place to which developers must adhere. He noted that the area is and has
been residential for a long time and that water and sewer services are presently
up to George Reynolds Drive. He advised that approval of this application would
solve the water problems of the residents and the municipality would be deeded
25 acres of the Farewell Creek.

JECT
Request to Amend the Durham Region Tree Conservation By-law, File: 4.9.8
Correspondence No. 94354 dated August 16, 1994 from the Corporation of the City of
Oshawa
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. THAT the Councils' of the local municipalities be advised that, it is the Region
of Durham's procedure to notify and consult with the local municipalities, prior
to considering a recommendation on an application for a minor exception to the
Durham Region Tree Conservation By-law.
2. THAT a copy of Commissioner's Report No. 95-P- 22 be forwarded to the
Clerk's of all the local municipalities.
REPORT
1. Back ound
1.1 On September 18, 1991, Regional Council passed the Durham Region Tree
Conservation By-law ("Tree Conservation By-law"). As required by the Trees
Act, it was subsequently approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources on
November 27, 1991. The Tree Conservation By-law is intended to protect and
maintain woodlots in Durham Region of 0.5 acres in size or greater.
1.2 The Trees Act makes provision for Regional Council to consider applications for
minor exceptions to the Tree Conservation By-law. Through this process Council
can authorize the cutting of trees in circumstances where, in Council's opinion,
the cutting of trees is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the
land.
1.3 To date, there have been four applications for a minor exception that have been
processed by the Region (3 in Uxbridge and 1 in Brock). In each circumstance,
the local municipality, as well as the Ministry of Natural Resources and the
Conservation Authority have been notified and circulated a copy of the
{, 1 8
Commissioner's Report No. 95-P- 22
Page 2 _
application for comment. A recommendation to Council was presented only after
comments were received from the local municipality and other agencies.
2. Request by the Citv of Oshawa
2.1 On July 4, 1994, the Council of the City of Oshawa adopted the following
resolution:
"That the Region of Durham be requested to amend the Regional Tree
Conservation By-law No. 148-91 to require that the Regional Clerk notify an
Area Municipal Clerk of all applications received by the Regional Clerk for
minor exceptions to the Regional Tree Conservation By-law within that
municipality."
2.2 Oshawa Council adopted this resolution, among others, oa the basis of a report
dealing with tree preservation issues in the City. The report noted that the
Region's Tree Conservation By-law. provided the City with the authority to
address the destruction of trees in Oshawa. The report suggested that the
Region's by-law was deficient, because it did not contain specific provision to
require the Regional Clerk to give notice to the local municipality of an
application to cut trees.
3. Comments
3.1 In order to consider an amendment to the Tree By-law, a new By-law would .
have to be passed by Regional Council to amend the existing Tree Conservation
By-law (148-91). Pursuant to the Trees Act, under Sections 4(1) and 4(S), an
amendment to the Tree Conservation By-law would also require approval by the
Ministry of Natural Resources.
3.2 The concern expressed by the City is understandable. It is essential for a local
council to be notified and consulted on tree cutting issues within its municipal
boundaries. A review of the practice of the Region in dealing with such
application, confuins that the municipalities are notified and consulted. The
City's concern is addressed. It is, therefore, concluded that an amendment to the
tree by-law is not necessary.
However, to confirm this practice it is recommended that a resolution be adopted
and forwarded to the City and the other local municipalities setting out the
procedure.

Commissioner's Report No. 95-P- 22 Page 3
3.3 Bill 163, which was given Royal Assent in December of 1994 amended the
Municipal Act to allow local municipalities, with populations greater than 10,000,
to pass by-laws to regulate the cutting of trees. A by-law could be passed to:
- prohibit or regulate the injuring or destruction of trees or any class of
trees specified in the by-law in any defined area or on any class of land;
- require that a permit be obtained for the injuring or destruction of trees
specified in the by-law and prescribing fees for the permit; and
- prescribe circumstances under which a permit may be issued.
The major differences between the Trees Act and the Municipal Act provisions
are that the Trees Act applies to upper tier municipalities, and is focused on
woodlots and larger trees. The new Municipal Act provisions respecting tree
cutting apply to local municipalities, and may be used to protect any type of tree
of any size (or individual trees) as council sees fit. Further, where there is a
conflict between a by-law passed under the Trees Act, and a by-law under the
Municipal Act, the more restrictive provisions would apply.

RE: OSHAWA CTlY COUNCIL REQUEST TO AMEND
DURHAIN REGION TREE CONSERVATION BY-LAW NO. 148-91
~_ ~~ File No. 17-20
I i
~~
On July 4, 1994 Oshawa City Council passed an eight part resolution on Tree Preservation
issues. A copy of the Council resolution and related staff report. are attached..
One section of the staff report discusses certain aspects of the Region of Durham's Tree
Conservation By-law No. 148-91 and the fact that the "Application for Minor Exceptions"
process does not require the notification of the local municipality in which the lands affected
by the application are located.
Oshawa Gity Council requests, as set out in Part 7 of the attached resolution, that By-law No.
148-91 of the Region be amended to require that the Regional Clerk notify an Area Municipal
Clerk of all applications received by the Regional Clerk for minor exceptions to the by-law
that are within that municipality.
I would respectfully request that you undertake to have Regional Council consider the
requested amendment to By-law No. 148-91 and advise me of its decision.
If you need further assistance, please contact Janet Ward at the above address, or by
telephone at extension 362, or myself at extension 361.

Dear Mrs. Barrier
Since 1992, .agencies responsible for. providing flood
forecasting and warning services within the Trent Watershed
(-local Conservation~Authorities - Crowe Valiey,~Ganaraska Region,
Kawartha Region, Lower Trent Region,. Otonabee•Region;~the-Ontario
Ministry of Natural Resources; and Parks, Canada, Trent-Severn:
Waterway), have worked together to develop a new. flood warning
system for this 12,0OO~square~kilometer•area (see map.at~tached)..
This new: system,- ~al~ed the Trent.Watershed Flood Watch
Service, operates under the.umbrella of the'Trent Conservation
Coalition in partnership with the Ministxy of. Natural Resources:
It provides a co-ordinated level of warning service to residents,
acts as a central contact for information during.a flood event:,:
and reduces duplication among the agencies-involved. Its goal is
to better protect the municipalities~a_nd taxpayers against the:
loss of life, ,property damage and social disruption caused by
flooding. and adverse water level`conditions..
I~4
~. The Trent Watershed Flood Watch Service uses. local knowledge
of snow conditions ,.. water levels, and flood forecasting:expertise
to develop a watershed=wide flood watch message which is then
issued from a single source (attached~is a sample flood message).
In order to provide public access to up-to-dafe~flooding/
water level information, the Service has established a toll free
Flood Watch Hotline (1-800-201-3884). Local agencies will,
however, continue to monitor local conditions and be available to
deaf with specific concerns. ~~
In terms of your municipality's role as~a recipient of .flood
watch messages ,, very little has changed.- A:copy of our:
terminology is attached. Your responsibility remains the same ~-.
to inform your-.flood co-o.rdinators promptly and implement the
municipality's emergency plan as, required.

WATER LEVEL UPDATE
The Trent Watershed Flood Watch Service advises that high water levels
will continue throughout the Trent River watershed over the next
couple of days. Water levels are expected to drop as the week
progresses.
In the Haliburton area, water levels are beginni to stabilize. Minor
flooding is being experienced in some localiz as.
Water levels in Scugog Lake and Scugog r a~~e cted to drop over
the next week : ~~p-
The water moving through the t 1~e ntinues to cause minor
flooding on some lakes. F1 g ~he nabee River south of Lock
19 to Wallace Point wil t'r>~i~~v a next four to five days as
water moves through r n~-~i ystem. The water level of smaller
watercourses in t et,~i~-o rea is beginning to drop.
Water levels a ~~~ in high in many of the lakes and rivers
north of Marmor i c ng Belmont Lake, Crowe Lake, Cordova Lake,
Kasshabog Lake, r Creek, Crowe River, Wollaston Lake and Chandos
Lake. Cordova I,ak may experience flooding as water levels continue to
rise. The Flood Watch Service will continue to monitor this area
closely.
:Water levels on the Trent River in the Glen Ross to Trenton area will
remain high for the next three to four days as the water flows
downstream from the Marmora area.
The public is advised that there is still a possibility for property
damage due to flooding. The public is urged to exercise caution around
all watercourses and be aware that the ice cover has weakened and
should be avoided.
katersiied residents can call~the Flood Watch Hotline at 1-800-201-
3884, at any time, concerning a flooding problem or flood emergency.
Local municipalities have been advised of this water level update.

FLOOD MESSAGES - WHAT THEY MEAN
The Flood Watch Service may issue four different messages at any time
to advise watershed residents of the potential threat to property
damage, social disruption, or loss of life. The messages are:
1. Information Bulletin
Under normal status conditions, information bulletins may be
issued to advise residents and municipalities about the existing
conditions along watercourses and that a change in normal
conditions is anticipated.
2. Water Level Advisor
Y
Under advisory status conditions, municipalities and residents will
be advised about the potential for increase in water levels and
flows. Affected residents should be aware of the potential for
flooding and risk to public safety and property damages.
Municipalities should "be prepared" to respond to flooding
problems.
3. Flood Warning _
Under warning status conditions, affected municipalities and.
residents will be advised that flooding is imminent. Affected
residents should be aware that there is a high probability of
property damages and risk to public safety. Action will be
required by municipalities and the public.
4. Flood or Water Level Update
An update will be issued as a follow-up to an advisory or
warning.
The flood messages are issued to the media, municipalities and
emergency response agencies in a standard format (reverse ). The
message clearly identifies the date, time, validation period, current
conditions and anticipated forecast, as well as problem areas. The
frequency of messages is dependent on how quickly water levels change
or are anticipated to change.

POSITIVE EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK PROJECTED FOR DURHAM REGION
Sound hiring prospects are foreseen this spring in the Durham Region, according
to the most recent Employment Outlook Survey from Manpower Temporary Services, the
world's largest temporary help firm.
The second quarter survey results, announced today, show that 18% of the area
employers asked about workforce needs anticipate adding more staff during the
April/May/June period, while 7% foresee workforce reductions. Another 70% expect no
change in current personnel levels and 5% are unsure of their plans.
"While it's not as bright as three months ago, when 35% of the employers
questioned projected more hiring, and 8% forecast decreases," noted Lorraine Stevenson
of Manpower, "the outlook is still encouraging in comparison to the pattern of recent years."
Employment prospects appear most promising this spring in non-durable goods
manufacturing and transportation/public utilities. Staff reductions are expected in services,
while mixed readings are reported in durable goods manufacturing and wholesale/retail
trade.
Nationally, the recovery continues to gain momentum as 24% of those interviewed
said they would increase employment levels, 7% indicated plans for further cutbacks, 65%
plan to remain at present levels and 4% are not yet certain.

THE MANPOWER EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK SURVEY
Manpower Temporary Services is the world's largest temporary help company with
2,000 offices in 36 countries around the world. We are a privately owned company
with no government affiliation.
Content
The Employment Outlook Survey is a quarterly measurement of hiring intentions of
nearly 1,500 employers in 38 cities. Employers declare their intentions to increase,
decrease, or maintain the size of their present workforce for the upcoming three-
month period. The survey results are released as a public service by Manpower
Temporary Services. While statistics are presented for a national, regional and local
employment outlook, the names of participating companies and government
agencies are kept confidential.
Methodology
The survey is based upon telephone interviews with responsible management
personnel across the country. Interviews are conducted each quarter by local
Manpower field office staff and are conducted within six weeks of the release date of
each survey.
Sample
The survey was initiated by Manpower Inc. in 1962 and is provided by Manpower
Temporary Services as an important public service. It was scientifically revised and
redefined in 1976 with the assistance of the Survey Research Centre of the University
of Michigan. The International Research Department of Manpower Inc. uses that
model and selects participants from the employment categories in each population
centre. The ten employment categories are those used by Statistics Canada and other
Federal agencies.
A statistically representative sample of employers is selected in each city on the basis
of its demographic and business profile. Composition of the sample by employment
classification varies city to city according to the special employment characteristics
of each.
E
L
Seasonal Factors
The Employment Outlook Survey is not seasonally adjusted. The employment
categories most affected by seasonal changes are the following: wholesale and retail
trade employment levels increase during the fourth quarter to handle the holiday
shopping period; construction employment increases during the second and third
quarters as weather improves; education staff levels drop during the third quarter
when schools are closed for summer vacation.
Reliability
The Employment Outlook Survey has been a significant and accurate indicator of the
employment outlook. Manpower's statistics and employment trends frequently
appear in government and academic journals as well as newspapers and national
media such as the Financial Post, the Globe & Mail Report on Business and the Wall
Street Journal.

Dear Head of Council:
The Ontario Good Roads Association has recently prepared A Guide for the Develop-
ment of Policy for Roadway Service Standards for Municipal Roads in Ontario. A copy
has been sent to the head of your roads department. An executive summary is
enclosed.
This Guide was prepared in consultation with our members and various stakeholders.
To date, a broad range of support for this document has been received which
includes the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, the insurance industry, municipal
solicitors and road managers.
As an Association committed to the promotion of better roads in Ontario, we would
encourage each municipal council to adopt appropriate roadway service standards
which are consistent with local goals and objectives which can be used for program
planning, fiscal policy, performance measurement and to encompass risk management
issues. •
Also enclosed is a brochure on seminars on roadway service standards. The seminar
is being offered in fourteen locations across the province. I encourage members of
council to attend along with their road managers.
Permit me to take this opportunity to wish you and your Council great success as you
lead your municipality in these challenging times. We trust that OGRA, through its
varied initiatives, makes your task a little easier.
Yours truly
"~ Sheila Richardson

A GUIDE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF POLICY FOR
ROADWAY SERVICE
~~ STANDARDS FOR MUNICIPAL ROADS IN ONTARIO
Executive Summary
.~
This publication is intended to be used as a guide for developing policy for
municipal road departments in Ontario. Municipalities are constantly reviewing service
levels to respond to system growth, user expectations and fiscal constraints. By
adopting these minimum standards as policy, a platform is provided from which
~ roadway service levels can be adjusted.
NOTE: Roadway service standards as proposed
in this first edition document are NOT provincial
policy, NOR adopted in any way as a province-
wide policy by OGRA.
Many municipal road departments have developed guidelines for their own use.
eg: design standards, quality standards, performance standards, operations
guidelines, maintenance procedures, etc. These are valid, and helpful, but often pre-
suppose the desired end results. This document does not replace these tools but
should be a foundation for them.
A distinguishing feature of this set of standards is that they are written from a
road user's perspective. The use of operational terms such as sanding, sweeping,
and patching is purposely avoided. There are two main reasons for this.
First, these standards are written to address the end result of roadway service
as much as possible. It is the end result that impacts on the user. Municipal council
should, when assessing the public interest, define standards in terms of end results.
Second, the use of operational terms and procedures in roadway service
standards is restrictive. There may be several procedures that lead to an end result.
The best combination of operational response procedures, under the circumstances,
should be used. If service standards define procedures, then the ability to select
rr
~~ttaGaa ~ ~fia~ro
alternative methods is restricted.
These standards presume that the user's expectation of minimum road service
is the same throughout Ontario, irrespective of which tier of government delivers the
service.
The service levels that these standards propose are relative to the road classifi-
cation. These standards are based on a definition of roadway classification which has
regard for traffic volume, type, adjacent land use, and drainage characteristics.
Roadway services are divided into three categories: Road surface: general,
Road surface: winter and Roadside. This first edition has recognized 22 service
standards which were identified to be appropriate.
Definitions of specific terms used in the standards are offered in the Appendix
to this document. A draft bylaw for adopting service standards is also provided in the
Appendix.
It is proposed that every ,municipal road authority establish policy by adopting _
the standards as presented herein, with revision to reflect local interests. The ultimate
value of these standards will be in their ability, through popular usage, to establish a
common framework in practice and law for road service delivery.
These standards were developed by a working committee of the Education and
Productivity Committee of OGRA under the auspices of the Productivity Improvement
Program. Assistance is available, on request to the OGRA office, in interpretation and
implementation of these standards. Comments are welcome.

Nancy Miller Councillor O'Toole
Bill Paterson Peter Thorne
Regrets: David Wing
Note: Lynn Lovekin, Recording Secretary, has
notified Chairperson Janie Dodds that she will

health reasons. Peter Thorne will record

Planning Staff: Regrets: Isabel Little, LACAC Liaison
Adoption of Minutes
95-14 Moved by Bill Paterson, seconded by Nancy Miller that the
minutes of January 31, 1995 meeting .be approved.
"CARRIED"
Janie Dodds opened her first meeting as chairperson with words of
appreciation to Diana Grandfield, past chairperson, and presented
her with a card of thanks signed by LACAC n-embers. A gift
certificate from a Bowmanville book store was given to Diana as a
small token of the appreciation shared by past and present members
of LACAC for her years of vision and leadership.
Janie offered a brief background of her own "roots" and how living
in a century home as a youngster helped her make decisions for both
a career in real estate as well as her interest in preserving
Ontario's heritage homes. Her goals for LACAC, this year, included
the introduction of a written agenda, to encourage timely meetings.
To this end an agenda was circulated to all members. The
committee gave tacit approval to the idea and agreed that members
would give Janie advance notice of any agenda items.
Janie challenged each LACAC member to use their talents and
strengths for the collective advantage of the whole through a
common "focus" for 1995.
One idea brought forward was for members to propose a "wish list"
of homes they would personally like to see "designated". Such a
list could then be prioritized and systematically considered.
AT THIS JUNCTURE THE MEETING BROKE FOR AN IMPROMPTU PHOTO SHOOT.
(Bob Forrester of the Orono Times and Laura Richards of the
Bowmanville Statesman captured the members of the newly appointed
LACAC committee on film for subsequent publication.)
The following documents, received from Isabel Little, LACAC
Liaison, were distributed to LACAC members:
A) A current LACAC membership list.
B) A working copy of "The Designation Process".
C) An application for a Designated Property Grant.
As a result of a request from Isabel for alterations to the
"Display Board" seen at last month's meeting, it was:
95-15 MOVED by Diana Grandfield, seconded by Bill Paterson,
that John Bizzell, John O'Toole, and Isabel Little get
together for discussion and recommendations for possible
changes to the "Display .Board".
"CARRIED"
The date for presentation of LACAC plaques to designated homes has
been set for March 27, 1995 at the 7:00 p.m. Council Meeting. This
is the televised session and all LACAC members are encouraged to be
present.
Janie will request of the town clerk that the LACAC presentation be
the first item on the agenda.
Corresponding Secretary, John Bizzell is to alert the clerk as to
which properties and home owners are affected. The clerk will then
contact the home owners to request their attendance at the Council
meeting, March 27, 1995.
Treasurer's Report
Eleanor distributed a Financial Statement for year end, 1994.
Balance at December 31, 1994 was $483.96. After some review
the following action was taken:
95-16 Moved by Eleanor Magder, seconded by Diana
Grandfield that the Treasurer's Report be accepted.
"CARRIED"
Eleanor also handed out a statement of account for the "House
Tour". All funds were in and disbursed leaving a positive
balance of $2,627.86. "Owing to a surplus of funds in this
account the following action was taken:

Correspondence
Kirby United Church has formed a committee to consider the
merits of a LACAC designation. In a letter sent to Janie
Dodds they indicated an interest in obtaining more information
and requested a meeting with representatives from the LACAC
committee. Tom Barrie, John Bizzell, and Bill Paterson
agreed to set up a convenient time with representatives
from Kirby Church.
In a communication received from the Municipality it was
determined that the outstanding concern regarding Mr. Milson's
property grant had been resolved satisfactorily when
unsubstantiated bills were clarified.
BUSINESS ARISING
With respect to the 10~ administration cost withheld by the
Municipality from total grant value, Diana Grandfield and John
O'Toole reported that a resolution will, in all probability,
work in LACAC's favour. When council considers the legwork
undertaken by the local LACAC Committee in the assessment and
monitoring of designations, it is hoped that they will waive
or reduce the administration fees.
l
95-19 Moved by Diana Grandfield, seconded by John Bizzell, that
if Council, in their meeting of March 5, 1995, waive the
10~ administration fee, that the Community Hall Board and
St. George Anglican Church should be advised that there
may be additional funds available for their designations.
John Bizzell would subsequently be in contact with them
to discuss which areas they would designate as needing
attention.
"CARRIED"
NEW BUSINESS
Time Chancre
After a short discussion, it was agreed by consensus to
convene the next two LACAC meetings at 7:30 p.m. instead of
the regular time of 8:00 p.m. A decision will then be
considered as to the merits of changing future meetings to the
7:30 p.m. hour.
Agenda Items
Members agreed to call Janie with advance notice of any items
they wish to have on the agenda.

considered, by LACAC, to be architecturally significant.
"CARRIED"
John Bizzell volunteered to write the articles and Nancy
Miller agreed to take photographs.
Name Tags
Janie introduced the idea of name tags for LACAC members so
that they can be more readily identified when on official
business.
95-21 Moved by Diana Grandfield, seconded by Bill Paterson,
that name tags be printed up with the LACAC Logo for
each member for use on official business.
"CARRIED"
Bill Paterson and Janie Dodds volunteered to price out the
name tags as well as stationary and business cards.
Kirby Church
Tom Barrie, John Bizzell, and Bill Paterson agreed to meet
with the Kirby Church committee to explain the process and
value of a LACAC designation. The three were to determine a

Commissioner's Report to Works Committee
Report 95-WR-6
~, REPORT ON CORRESPONDENCE WRC-18-94, TOM EDWARDS, MAYOR, TOWN OF
WHITBY, DATED AUGUST 19, 1994, ENCLOSING A COPY OF LETTER FROM THE
r~
MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY RE: LEAF AND GARDEN WASTE
THAT the Region request the Area Municipalities not to collect
~` grass clippings as part of their regular leaf and yard waste
collection programs and to participate with the Region in fully
promoting the benefits of grasscycling.
~~
. In November, 1993, the Region requested the Area Municipalities "to
discontinue the collection of grass clippings in 1994 and
participate with the Region in fully promoting the benefits of
grasscycling." The Region was experiencing odour problems at our
Central Composting Facility and grass clippings were determined to
be the major source of the problem.
_~ During the -Summer of 1994, the Town of Whitby requested
clarification from the Ministry~of Environment and Energy regarding
municipal requirements under the new 3R's Regulations for leaf and
yard wastes. A copy of the correspondence from the Ministry is
attached.
l
l
In a letter dated August 19, :994, Mayor Tom Edwards forwarded a
letter the Town of Whitby ::ad received from the Ministry of
Environment and Energy regard~:,g municipal leaf and yard wastes.
On September 6, 1994, Works Ccmmittee referred the matter to staff
for a report.
The Region also contacted the Ministry to determine if
municipalities can advise residents that grass clippings will not
be collected because the odours generated from grass clippings can
WM1
rd

Report 95-WR-6
~~ cont'd.
cause operating problems at a compost facility. In addition, the
cost of collecting grass clippings is a higher level of service
than is really necessary because grasscycling and composting of
grass clippings by residents are better alternatives.
The Ministry responded in a letter dated November 18, 1994, a copy
of which is attached. They confirmed that residents should be
encouraged to minimize the amount of grass clippings they generate
and be encouraged to home compost. Source reduction is a cost
effective way to reduce the amount of waste collected and managed
by municipalities. However, for those residents who are unable to
completely utilize their grass clippings through grasscycling and
home composting, there is to be a composting system alternative to
waste disposal.
The Region provides residents with an alternative at each of our
Waste Management Facilities where leaf and yard wastes, including
grass clippings, are placed in large bulk containers. These bulk
containers are then transported to our Central Compost Facility.
In 1994, the "Grasscycling" program offered was deemed to be very
successful as there was: a 30~ reduction in the amount of compost
material received, only a few odour complaints, and feedback from
residents was generally positive.
It is proposed that the grasscycling program continue and the Area
Municipalities be requested not to collect grass clippings as part
of their regular leaf and yard waste collection programs. If an
area Municipality decides to collect grass clippings, the Region
will continue to accept these materials at our Central Compost
Facility.

Enclosed is a copy of a letter received by Mr. Hancock,
Director of Public Works for the Town of Whitby. It concerns the -
matters which I raised at the last Regional Council meeting dealing
with leaf and garden waste.
I trust that you will check the letter, and you can then
visualize why I was so confident that some determination by the
Provincial Government was in the works.
I trust that at some future date we might have some comments
from you at the Regional Council meeting.
Yours truly,

TOWN OF' W HTT Y
ADMIT:::":.:.::•::'~ Gr>r:t~l:
I am replying to your letter dated July 20, 1994 to Nav Dhaliwal requesting confirmation of
municipal requirEments under the 3Rs regulations. .
The following clarifies some of the points mentioned in your letter:
• O. Reg. 101 /94 contains it-e definition leaf and yard waste. not "yard waste" . The
definition includes natural Christmas trees and other plant materials. As described in
Appendix . B on page 17 in A Guide to Source Separation ofRecyclable Materials and
Leaf and Yard Waste Systems for.Municipalities the definition encompasses materials such
as grass clippings.
• O. Reg. 101/94 requires a subject municipality to collect or accept leaf and yard -+~rste
from residents. These materials are to be then composted or applied directly to land with
ministry approval.
;Municipalities in ~Southe,~~ Ontaro have until January 1, 1995 to implement a leaf and
yard waste system. After this date, enforcement becomes an issue if an affected
municipality contravenes the regulations.
• A lower tier, or local, municipality which •is subject under O. Reg. 101/94 has the
responsibility to provide all mandated programs to its residents. O. Reg. 101/94 section
2(1) requires an upper tier municipality, e.g. regional municipality, to co-operate with
the to municig~i y as necessary and section 2(2) requires the upper tier municipality
to do whatever it has the cap~ly to do to ensure residents in the lower tier municipality
are serviced.
This means, if the. regional municipality has the capacity to compost the leaf and yard
28
- ~,~ ~~
t
_~_
' waste of a subject local municipality then the region must exercise that capacity. Also,
if the regional municipality assumes powers to compost then the region is responsible to
F ensure leaf and yard waste collected by the local municipality is composted. The
regional municipality is nor required to compost a' local municipality's leaf and vard
waste if it does not assume powers to compost or have the capacity to compost.
- Note, under Bill 7, an Act to omend certain Acts related to Municipalities concerning
waste Management (1993), upper tier municipalities must assume all 3Rs powers, except
~+ collection, by. January 1, 1997. Therefore, an upper tier municipality must provide leaf
and yard waste compost services to its subject local ~ municipality by 3anuary 1, 1997, if
it does not assume those powers earlier. The type of leaf and yard waste composting
service provided carp include transportation of collected materials to an approved site that
is controlled by the upper tier municipality or another approved site.
~ I trust this clarifies the requiremenu of a municipality under O. Reg. 101/94: If you have any
questions, Mr. Adam Ciulini, at (416) 314-4633 would be pleased to assist you.
Yours sincerely,

• Dear Mr. ~ Watson: _ ~ .
^ 1ir,. .. ~ . ~ .. ~ . .
This will confirm the ministry's advice on how the Region and area municipalities could.manage
` ~ .grass clippings in a. manner consistent with the 3Rs hierarchy' and' Reg. 101/94. ~ '
^.~ ~ .
The first'and most important part of any program should. be to encourage residents to minimise
.the amount of grass clippings they generate by promoting mulching and other similar psactices. ~ ~ .
!~ • .The second component should .be.to encourage and facilitate home composting of grass clippings ~ : .
that are generated. Source seduction is a cost effective way to lessen the amount of waste that .~
will need ~ to be collected or otherwise managed by municipalities. You should be as ~ proactive-
' as possible in these~first two activities. .~ ~ : -
You also need to 'ensure that residents who are unable to completely eliminate their grass
clippings through source reduction have a municipal leaf and yard composting system alternative - .
to• disposal. 3'his is one of the requirements in Reg. 101 /94.
- ~ . .
- As part of the system; the muticipality must provide information to residents regarding effective
use of the program. This includes information on materials collected, prohibited contaminants,
the collection schedule and drop-off locations. ~ .
As we discussed, it is up to the municipality to decide on the level of service provided for
residents. Reg. 101/94 requires that this service be reasonably convenient. We understand that
r in your Region, area municipalities will advise their residents that grass clippings will not be
collected at curbside but instead may be dropped-off at several depots..Such an approach would
likely comply with the requirements of the regulation.
. A leaf and yard waste composting site must operate under the requirements of Reg. 101/94,~and
where applicable, any requirements listed in its certificate of approval. Among the requirements
under the regulation is to take reasonable care to control odours (ref. part IV S. 23(10))..
Reasonable care may require changes to facility design, operating practices or rejecting
contaminant materials which are certain to create odour problems under normal site operations.
F Reasonable efforts should first be made to divert these contaminants from disposal and if

diversion is not feasible the contaminants may be disposed at an approved landfill.

of Interest Act .
Tire Facts:
As stated in the March 3rd Municipal Alert "Cabinet Dei~t~rs Decision on
Proclamation Date of Local Cxover:nment Disclosure of Interest Act", on March
1st, the Provincial Cabinet deferred a final decision on the pro~;~lamation date of
the Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act.
~ AMO had lobbied the Government of Ontario to delay pro~~lamation of the
municipal legislation until the aI-propriate amendments eo~ild be made to
harmonize that legislation with thc; legislation applicable to l:~rovincial elected
officials (Bill 209}.
~ AMO's call for harmonizing the two pieces of legislation stemr~ied from the fact
that, just a week after passing Bill lEi3 on November 28, 1994, thE; Province passed
new legislation governing the conduct of Members of Provincial Parliament
(M.P.P.'s}. That legislation, Bill 209, contained wording in 18 ar~;as that was more
favourable to M.F.P.'s than the wording in the municipal legislation.
"` Status:
~ Ar10 has just been advised that, gat its March 8th meeting, (''abinet made the
decision to proceed with proclam~~tion of the Local Governr,~!ent Disclosure of
Interest Act portion of Bill 163. Th.e proclamation date has bE~en confirmed for
April 15, 1995.

'[n response to this, please be advised. that the provisions regarding open meetings
game into effect on January 1, 1995,
What is AMO doing n~ow7:
• AMO has issued a press release, blasting the Provincial Cabinet: for making this
decision. A copy of the release is attached for information.
• As part of our strategy for the upcoming provincial eiectiol~~, AMD will be
lobbying the leaders of the opposition parties on this issue. Ws:: will be meeting
with Mike Harris on March. 23rd and Lyn McLeod on March :%.8th and will ask
both leaders to commit to repealing the Local Government Disclosure of Interest
Act in order to make the necessary amendments to harmonize tht; two pieces (Bill
163 and Bi11209) of legislation.
• AMO will also continue to press MMA to address as many of the discrepancies
between the two Acts as possible during the drafting of the regulations.
• As recommended by the AMO Disclosure of Interest Task Force, we will be
seeking a meeting with the new Cormissioner immediately after he or she takes
office to raise a number of questions and concerns about the legislation which
need to be clarified so that municipalities can comply with the legislation.
• Members of the AMO Disclosure of Interest Task Force will present the list of
questions to the new Commissioner. In order to ensure that the Task Force
presents the most comprehensive li;~t of questions, you are requested to forward
to AMO, any questions or concerns which you would like clarified by the
Commissioner. Please fax your quc~stions to the attention of Jeanne Meddaoui
at (416) 929-7574, by April 7, 199.

PROVINCIAL CABIIVE'Y' IGNORES MUNICIPAL DI~MANI~S
FOR FAIR DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST RUINS
.~
TC>RONTO, March 16, 1995 -Municipal councillors are calling the Provinei:~l C,abinet's decision
to ignore their demands to make the disclosure of interest rules for all ele:~~ted officials the same,
unfair and an injustice to local elected representatives in Ontario.
"A~parently the Provincial Cabinet sees nothing wrong with M.P.P.'s having t~:~ live by one set of n~lc;s
an~~ municipal councillors having to operate tinder far more stringent legislation," blasted Bill Mickl ~,
Pr~;sident of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) when he heard of Cabinet's decisio:l,
"174 a thought the Province would see that harmonizing the two pieces of legi;elation wtis the only fair
an~i logical thing to do;' he said.
A •veek after Bild 163, which includes the Local Goventment Disclosure of Inte-est Act, was passed, tl: e
Pr~nrince passed Bill 209, the Members' Integrity Act, which governs the conduct of Members of
Pr<tvincial Parliament (M.P,P,'s). Upon careful review and comparison of the ,differences between the
two pieces of legislation, AMO found that there is no justification for havinf; a different set of rulf~s
for M,P,P's that are far less stringent than the ones imposed on local officials t!~rough Bill 163. AMeJ
recommended to the Premier of Ontario that the Acts be harmonized, that i;, made consistent with
on•; another. However, in order to make the necessary changes to the legislation, the date of
prctclamatian of the ~ocn! Govern.~~ienL~1~_4,f~~~s~_~1, which was originally set for April

"We also have serious doubts about the legitimacy of the Members' IntegrYty A~;t given that there was
no c;onsultation on the bill and it received first, second and third reading i». a single day," stated
President Miekle. "In the case of. the Local Gcwernnent Disclosure of Interest Acct, there was extensive
pub:.ic debate over several years and provincial-municipal discussions to bring ;bout legislation which
a~as believed to be in the best interest of the public."
On April 15th, the Province will appoint a new Commissioner to oversee the: administration of the
Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act. It is estimated that the Commissioner's office will cost
ta.~payers $2 million a year to operate. "How can the Province justify this expense when important
social programs are facing serious cutbacks," risked Miekle.
In it s preparations for the: upcoming provincial election, AMO will be meetir...g with the opposition
parties to seek their support for repealing 1.he Local Go><~ernment Disclosuue> of Interest Act until
harmonization is achieved.
The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) is anon-profit organization with member
municipalities representing over 9S per cent o.. Ontario's population. AMO, tl-rough research, policy
w•or:c and lobbying the provincial government, promotes the values of municipal government as a vital
part of Ontario's and Canada's political system.

Letter to t;~e Editor
Canadian Statesman
Dear Sir;
I-14
March 20, 1995
I am concerned that our Municipality of Clarington is considering
contracting out the animal control services.
I applaud their intent on keeping costs, and therefore our taxes,-
down but I would prefer that they trim the budget on inanimate
objects not jeopardize the well being or safety of live animals.
I'd far rather see them practice economies such as= keep'-vehicles
an extra year; hold .off on upgrading office equipment such.;,:as
photocopiers or the telephone-.system; cut, the grass less often:;,in
~ public areas; or refrain from fancy landscaping at the Reccomplex'.
If a private contractor of an animal shelter cuts corner s; in :order
to control costs, the animals are unable to. tell us if they are
^ adversely.affected_ .
~" - On January 23 Council; ~ passed ~a ° motion that, . a. task . force 'would'be
~r ,. formed to investigate, 'review: and.%'make =recommendations to 'the .
'~ Council regardins the:-animal service.:delivery';programme. :Several
people -.from our -community who are qualified ~in.°the areas"of animal~~ '''
care were to• be onthis task. force This task force never got a
~- :~ chance~;to_;~.meet-t;,as a-=;group .. ~~ I tfink'that~-was a ,mistake ~.<.; "''
{~: ~~
.. ..
,.. .. _ -
• I.'`also: question .the: .haste with .which" .this is proceeding : It•: is
.~ ~,.:~<
quite .;true , as ~-the Mayor states ,that 'the idea- has: been around , ,for.
a long `:time. However , Council: passed the motion regarding. the task
force on January 23 and now, on March 20, Community Services wants
~,~ permission to call a tender.: What's the rush? `Why not take ..the
time to have the task force meet and take advantage of :the
extensive knowledge that exists in our community surrounding this
issue.'
Councillors were stating at the March 20th meeting that this was
r just an attempt•to see if the tendering process would be feasible.
I have attended a great many Council meetings. Although some
tenders cause a great deal of debate among councillors, there are
R very, very few tenders that come before council that aren't
approved eventually - even if with some changes. If this tendering
process is started, it will likely carry on until it's completed,
Nancy Armstrong made a very valid point at the meeting. If the
Town contracts out animal control, they will no longer need to have
a shelter or a truck or qualified staff to do the job because the
private contractor will provide their own facilities, If there are
;~ problems with the private contractor and the Town wishes to
withdraw from the agreement, their hands are tied. They will no
longer have the facilities or staff to do the job. So, we could be
stuck with an unsatisfiactory contractor.

Again, -the Mayor is.correct when she states that if everyone was a
responsible 'pet owner then we wouldn't: need an animal control dept .
(Although-this doesn't take into account the. calls for wildlife}.
But in .another context later in the same meeting, she acknowledged
that every profession has its fair share of "jerks". There are,. r
unfortunately, pet owners who are "jerks" -and who are
irresponsible. The animals can't help it if they belong to such'
people. And-even responsible peaple make mistakes sometimes. Or, '
maybe they arrange to have someone else care for their pet while
they are away and the caregiver makes a mistake allowing the animal
to get loose.
I~.;support~-.responsible pet ownership.. We own one dog (who is
licensed ) and; two cats, none of .which are .ever allowed to leave our ,
property =sunless `we are with -them . -But if :they-should accidentally'
escape and: runaway, I would want.-them to be picked up by snimal.
control`people.who have the best interests of the animals at heart
-- not just the `profit motive of -:,the bottom`.-'line. Our< animals are
..unable to'" speak ~for::.themselves`-, o we must<~do that :for them. If tii
you have'concerns;'about animal control:b
eing `contracted out., Please

GONIlViTi' TO BE'T'TER GOVERNMENT AT IAWE•;Et COST
TORONTO, March 20, 1995 - It is high time that governments in Ontario give taxpayers what they
want and deserve: better government at lower cost. This was the message delivered by municipal
officials today at a news conference to launch their municipal platform paper for the upcoming
prc-vineial election.
The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) unveiled asix-part strategy today to achieve
what it calls the New Municipal Mandate. The key components of the mandatt: include putting an end
to wasteful duplication of services at both levels of government, fundamental municipal financial
reform to ensure more equitable and accountable funding responsibilities, .j. municipal partnership
ag~•eement with the Province; and.replacing the restrictive 1unicipal Act witlt a new, simpler Act.
"Across Canada and around the world, taxpayers are calling for cost-efficient, effective government"
But these demands continue to fall on deaf ears," stated Bill Mickle, pre:,~ident of AMO. "The
m>,~nicipalities of Ontario challenge the next Government of Ontario to commit to better government
at lower cost," he said.
Municipalities are looking to the provincial gt~vernment for action because mc-st of the quality services
mt~niaipal governments provide and the way they provide them is determined ley provincial legislation.
For example, municipalities, on average, spend more than ~0 per cent of them own revenues on police
services but have almost no control over how these revenues are spen~:. This is not unique.
Municipalities have very little say on how the iax dollars for the services they provide are used. "V~~e
believe these tax dollars can be used better and are prepared to tell the provincial government how,"
said Mickle.

When asked for their recipe for better government at lower cost, President blickle stated that there
are two main ingredients -provincial commitment to change and provincial action on fundamental
refa~rm. Miekle pointed out that over the past four years, AMO has devoted h»ndreds upon hundreds
of hours to working with this Government on reforming such thhigs as municip.:.l finance, taxation and
welfare funding. Despite AMO's support for these studies, the Province has f<<iled to act. 'The time
for study is over, the time for change is now," insisted IVlickle.

"That the dele ation of Mrs. Suzanne Elston and Mr. Dave Mart' ertainin to the ITER

that Suzanne Elston and Dave Martin be requested to submit their concerns in writing."
Durham Nuclear Awareness urges council to reconsider its support for the ITER fusion reactor.
here is an important "local" reason for saying no to fusion in Clarington: the reactor will increase the
isk of cancer for Clarington and other communities downwind due to tritium exposure. Jobs are no
•ompensation for disease. Secondly, as a society, we must make the best possible decisions on how to
spend our scarce research and development dollars. This project will require a $1 billion subsidy from
nadian taxpayers and Ontario Hydro ratepayers for no good purpose -the reactor will never
e~aerate o~ae icilarvatt of electricity. By its nature (expensive, complex, and polluting) fusion will never be
a viable energy source. _
It is a complete abdication of responsibility for Mayor Hamre to suggest that Clarington has. no
responsibility for energy planning. Social responsibility must be exercised at all le~-els of government. It
's this type of limited self-interest and buck-passing that brings politicians and our democratic system

I'he Government of Canada and Ontario Hydro, through its subsidiary, Canadian Fusion Fuels Technology Project
(CFFTP), have proposed that Canada should be the site for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
(ITER) - a $20 billion project costing $10 billion for a ten year construction period, and $10 billion fora 20 year
;operation period. The two possible locations are the Darlington and Bruce nuclear sites in Ontario.
ITER is a purely experimental reactor - it will not produce any electricity, and even the project supporters admit
.;that the possible construction of a reactor to produce electricity is at least 40 or 50 years away. Despite over 4U
'years of active international research, costing billions of dollars, no country on earth has yet managed to create more
energy from a fusion reaction than was put into it. Regardless of whether "breakeven'' can be achieved, nuclear
'fusion will never be a viable technology for electricity generation. Fusion reactors would be even more complex than
fission reactors -resulting in a higher risk .of costly, dangerous accidents; long construction lead times; and very
. high capital cost. No sensible utility would ever invest in such an option.
The myth of fusion power is that it will be clean, safe, non-polluting, and produce virtually .free energy. None of
these. claims are true. The most serious .environmental problem .with fusion is the use of huge quantities of~
radioactive tritium as a fuel. Other problems include .the use of lithium to "breed" tritium -lithium is a highly
reactive metal that ignites spontaneously. Contrary to the popular myth, fusion does create large amounts of
radioactive waste through the activation of structural materials by neutron radiation.
Even the experimental ITER fusion reactor requires. the solution of a number of unprecedented engineering tasks.
The complexity of these tasks will likely. result in cost overruns, lengthy delays, costly operation and maintenance
problems, and potential safety hazards. As a global society, our precious- public funds should be spent only on
'sustainable energy .projects with a proven benefit for the. planet. Those priorities are clear - efficiency and
renewable energy.
clear Fusion? "magnetic bottle" or magnetic. confinement. The round,
What Is NU doughnut shaped fusion reactor. (also known as a "Tokamak"
reactor) was conceived in the 1950s by Soviet physicists
Nuclear fission (commonly known as "nuclear power") Andrei Sakharov and Igor Tamm. The name "Tokamak"

'" light nuclei of elements such as tritium and deuterium (both

The challenge of fusion is that the nuclei that must be joined
are positively charged, and therefore repel each other. In
order to overcome this repulsion, the reacting particles must
be brought to a high energy level -that is, they must be very
hot. Out of a number of possible fusion reactions, deuterium
and tritium produce a relatively large amount of energy and
will fuse at 77 million degrees celsius -lower than a number
of other possible fusion reactions, but still more than three
times hotter than the centre of the sun. This super-hot
mixture, known as plasma is so hot that nothing material c:an
contain it without melting or contaminating the plasma. By
using ~ huge super-conducting magnets, the plasma is sus-
pended in a net of magnetic fields, sometimes called a
The ITER Proposal
At their 1985 Geneva summit, Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald
Reagan agreed to a joint fusion research project. to 1987,
responding to this initiative, an international joint venture was
announced to design a experimental fusion reactor known as
the International Thermonuclear Experimenial Reactor
(ITER). The four parties working on [TER were the Euro-
pean Union, Japan, the Russian Federation, and the USA.
Canada participated only as a minor partner in the European
Group. The conceptualdesign phase for ITER was wmpleted
in 1y9U, and engineering design is scaeduled to be completed
by 1998.

}'~`~+'.
_ ~~
The CFFTP has said that Canada will announce its offer to
host ITER at the June 1~5 'G7' Summit meeting in
Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is hoped that the final decision would
be announced one year later at the G7 meeting in i~l6.~Thc
timeline is for a site decision in idl6, construction to take
puce from 118-2WS, and for~operation of the reactor to take
place: 2UU8-2028. The possible sites noted by the CFFfP are
both existing Ontario Hydro nuclear facilities -the Bruce
Nuclear Power Development on the shore of Lake Huron and
the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station in Clarington, 30
km east of Toronto. The decision-making process for possible
site selection in Canada is not clear. Darlington is clearly the
CFFi'P's first choice. It is also not clear if Quebec was
considered, given the fact that the Canadian Centre for
Magnetic Fusion is located outside of Montreal (see below).
The CFFTP has stated that Europe and Japan will both be
competing for the ITER site; that the USA has not yet
decidedti and that Russia will support the ~ Canadian-site -
CFFI'P believes that "Canada, is everyone's second choice".'
It is clear however, that Canada has not made major invest-
menu in fusion power, to the extent of the four. major
partners, who are now spending collectively about S2 billion
per year.
Environmental Problems
^ Tritium =The primary problem with fusion is the rise of
huge amounts of radioactive tritium as fuel, resulting in an
increased risk of cancer to workers. and the surrounding
population due to routine as well as accidental releases.
Ontario Hydro estimates. that it will sell 55 kilograms of , .
elemental tritium to the ITER project. This huge quantity of
tritium does not even represent the entire amount that will be
used, since (like. the fission "breeder" reactors designed to.
create plutonium for subsequent use as fuel) the fusion
reactor will "breed" tritium.
Although elemental, gaseous tritium is less dangerous than
tritiated water or water vapour, it must be assumed conserva-
tively that all escaping tritium wilt be oxidized into tritiated
water or water vapour. To help put this in perspec[ive, one
kilogram of elemental tritium equals abou[ 370 million
gigabecquerels (a gigabecquerel . is .one billion, or 10°,
bec;yuereLs). The dose likely to cause early death in 5U°ro of a
typical population (the LD;,,, or Lethal Dose-5U) for tritium
in the form of tritiated water (HTO) u about lU Curies, or
about 70 GBq (7U billion becquerels).z
It has been suggested that emissions of lU0 Cilday (3,7UU
GBy) would be ac;ceptable', and Ontario Hydro has sug-
gested a "design target" of 50 Ci/day (1,850 GByj based on
experience at .the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station.'
Perhaps most important, in terms of local environmental
safety, in either th.: Daritngton or Bruce sites, the fusion
reactor would add to already high tritium emissions from
existing nuclear faciliucs. There, are already four 88U MW
reactors at the Darlington site, as well as the Tritium Recov-
ery Facility. The Bruce site already has eight reactors in total
(4 X 740 MW reactors at Bruce "A", .and 4 X 815 MW
reactors at Bruce "B°).
^ Radioactive Waste - Although it does not create the
"high level" radioactive fuel waste like fission reactors, a
fusion reaction creates a large amount of high-energy neutron
radiation which causes structural materials in the reactor w
become highly radioactive (a process known as "aetivdtion").
This not only creates serious difficulties for operation and
maintenance of the reactor and an oo:c:upationai health
hazard, but results in a serious radioactive waste disposal and
decommissioning problem as welt.
^ Lithium. -The ITER project will attempt to "breed" its
own tritium by placing a "blanket" of lithium around the
reactor. Lithium is a highly reactive metal that spontaneously
ignites on contact with air or water. A fire could result in
serious structural damage and possible release of tritium.
^ Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMF) -Because the world's
largest superconducting magnets will have to be built to
contain the plasma of the fusion reaction, there will be very
powerful electro-magnetic fields; resulting in another serious
occupational hazard. EMF exposure may be linked [o an
increased risk of cancer.
Engineering & Safety -Problems -
Fusion power has been called the most difficult scientific and
engineering problem of all time. Temperatures within the
reactor will range from the highest ever produced on earth (in
the plasma), to almos[ the lowest possible (in the magnets).
The goat of [TER is to produce a fusion reaction fuelled with.
deuterium and tritium (D-Tj. The D T reaction has the
advantage of producing fusion at [he lowest possible tempera-
[ure (still an incredible 77 million degrees celsius), but this
particular reaction also produces very high energy neutrons
that damage thereactor structure and make it radioactive.
Because of the engineering requirements of D-T fusion, the
reactor must be very lame (about 25 metres high), very
complex and very expensive.
Some of the main engineering difficulties are discussed below,
but there are also uthe:r technio:al problems such as: the
plasma heating and current maintenance systems; the fuelling
and ash exhaust devices; and the various remote maintcnancx:
wuls (necessary because of high radiation levels j. Complexity
incvitabiv results in reliabiht~~ and performance problems
simply because there arc more things that can go wrong. This
has been an ongoing problem with nuclear fission, and fusion
is clearly more complex. The size and tomplexity of the fusion
reactor are inherent probtems that cannot be overcame.
` Fusion -Keep it in the Sun!
herefore, fusion has no advantage over the present gcner-
ion of fission reactors, and it shares many of the same
oblems. The fusion reactor, despite the billions of dollars of
public funds invested, will end up like other technological
;'riumphs" such as the Concord supersonic jet, or nuclear
fission) power it_sclf - technologically impressive, but
obscenely expensive and socially inappropriate. To yucte a
pioneer of fusion research, "Even if the fusion program-
roduces areactor, no one will want it_"'
^ Temperature - In order io overcome electrical repulsion
nd (use deuterium and tritium, the nuclei must become very
"nergetic, and must reach a temperature of at least SU million
kelvin degrees (the plasma) - by contrast, the centre of the
gun is about 15 million kelvin. Because nothing material can
~,~ontact the plasma, the fusion reactor uses intense magnetic
elds, within a vacuum, [o contain the plasma. In order to
generate the powerful magnetic Gelds that are needed, the
"reactor will~require the largest super-conductingmagnets ever
trill. These magnets, within several metres of the~plasma, will
have to be chilled with liquid -helium to about 4.5 kelvin
degrees -almost absolute zero. The magnets not only have
.o be kept insulated, but they must be shielded from the
neutron radiation that would damage them. This daunting
;engineering problem is made critical by the fact that acciden-
(release of the large amount of energ}t stored in -the
agnetic coils could result in an explosion,with "missiles" and
possible release of some of the large amounts of liquid helium
ed to cool the'magnets 6 .
^ Heat Transfer -One major factor affecting the efficiency
of any thermal generating station is the way in whicfi heat is
removed from the heat source to the coolant to create steam.
in the CANDU fission reactor, there are a large number of
fuel bundles with separate fuel rods, through which the
coolant circulates. This provides a much larger coolingsurface
than the Tokamak [union reactor, which has onty one large
circular torus. The heat must be transferred through the
inside wall of the reactor, and the result is a poor heat
transfer rate and low efficienry.
^ First Wali - .The so-called "first wall" surrounding the
" torus, will bear much of the strain of neutron radiation and
the intense heat of the plasma. Stainless steel panels cooled
b_y water will be protected by "armour tiles" of carbon-fibre.
However, the intense neutron bombardment and heat stress
will necessitate the periodic replacement of the wall, ac well
as the blanket and shield structures. This will result in high
financial cost; higher worker radiation exposure; lengthy
down-time; and a radioactive waste disposal problem.
^ Tritium Breeder Blanket and Shield -The breeder
't blanket and shield are located behind the first wall, and will
`' be about L~ metres thick. This is the centre-piece o[ [TER,
but it has nut yet been tested. When exposed to neutron
radiation, lithium will break down to breed tritium. (f liquid
lithium is used, as suggested in early fusion reactor designs,
there will be a signiGc:ant fire hazard, sine it reacts explosive-
ly with oxygen, nitrogen, water and even concrete. Lithium
spills could melt reactor structures and release radioactive
activation products in the ensuing fire. If solid breeding
materials such as lithium oxide or lithium aluminate are used,
then the fire risk would be reduc:ed.' Beyond the breeder is
a water-cooled shield to protect the magnets from heat and

The Cost to Canada
Although most of the funding would.come from the interns- .
tional partners, CFFTP anticipates- significant costs for
Canada as we1L The bulk of Canadian funding for ITER -
$600 million -will come from the federal government. The
Government of Canada is prepared to spend $35 million per
year for the ten year construction period, and $l0 million per.
year for the 20 year operating period. Ontario Hydro expects
to pay $100 million for radioactive waste management, and
$125 million for the decommissioning of the facility when it
becomes loo radioactive to operate. However, there will
probably be pressure on the site .host to spend more money
- particularly Canada, which has not spent much money to
date, compared [o the four major ITER partners. Writing in
1992, four members of the ITER Advisory Committee
speculated, "Wheeher the construction cost will be evenly
divided among the participants or whether the country hosting
the project will pay more so as to counter-balance the benefits
co its local economy remains to be determined."R
Another hidden cost of ITER is the capital cost of the power
it will need for energy. It is estimated [hat the fusion reactor
will require about 20U MW of power on a continuous basis.
peakingat lOW MW. Although the. power will be required on
an intermittent basis, it still represents a sizable investment by
Ontario ratepayers in generatingt:apacity. For example, using
the $15 billion, 35UU MW Darlington station as a yardstick,
2UU A~IW of power has a capital value of about $b6t)~ million.
CFFTP claims the sale of tritium to the ITER project as a
benefit of hosting the reactor. However, This sale would likely
take place even if the reactor was sited elsewhere. Be ~ o has
the Darlington Tritium Recovery Facility, Ontario Hy
a huge amount of tritium available.

Fusion --Keep it in the Sun!
Canada's Fusion Research
At'the federal level in Canada, following a 1974 decision, it
was decided that the federal government and Ontario and
Qussbec (in part through Ontario Hydro and Hydro-Quebec)
would focus on :various specific limited technologies that
would be relevant to fusion research. The so-called "National
Fusion Program" is coordinated byAtomic Energy of Canada
Ltd. (AECL), at it_e Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories in
Ontario. However, the main work applied to fusion takes
place at two main centres: the Canadian Centre for Magnetic
Fusion and the Canadian Fusion Fuels Technology Project
(CFFTP).
The Canadian Centre for Magnetic Fusion (CCFM) is the site
of the Tokamak de Varennes, located near Montrrsal. The
three partners in the Centre are AECL (through the National
Fusion Program), Hydro-Quebec, and the Institut National de
recherche scientifique - Energie (INRS-)rnergie) -part of
the University de Quisbec. •
The Canadian Fusion Fuels Technology Project,• created in
1982, is a part of Ontario Hydro. CFFTP concentrates on
various types of applied engineering systems, mostly related
to the use of tritium. CFFTP is funded by AECLJNFP and
Ontario Hydro, and originally also received additional funding
from the Province of Ontario.
Fusion~research in Canada has been funded nationally since
1974. In 1992, the. federal .government approved a 52%
increase in fusion research funding to about $30 million per
year for a five year period ending March 1997. Part of this
money goes to CCFM and CFFTP. Founded in 1983, CFFTP
originally received 50% of its funding from the federal
government, 25% from Ontario Hydro and 25°1o from the
Province of Ontario. This total subsidy for the 1983-87 period
was $21 million. In September 1993, Ontario decided not to
renew its funding, which had amounted to about $2.2 million
annually. About $8.8 million per year was given in subsidies
to CFFTP from. the federal and provincial governments and
Ontario Hydro from 1987 to 1993.
Keep it in the Sun
by fusion power is only a high-tech fantasy that is doomed to
Cailure by the very nature of the te,,nnology.
Fusion research is a gross misallocation of research and
development dollars. The private sector, aware of the
impracticality and high risk of fusion, is only involved as a
means of tapping public funds. The sooner we end public
funding for fusion research, the sooner we can set ourselves
on the path to a truly sustainable energy future. Let's keep
fusion where it belongs - in the sun.

Re~ Rotary Club International 90th Anniversary Publication
Dear Colleagues,
~. As you may know, this year is the 90th anniversary of the world-wide organization
know as Rotary. Ass there are local Rotary. Clubs throughout southern Ontario, including in
your municipality, I am asking you to have a look at a special publication which has been
produced to recognize this special year-for all Rotary Clubs in this district..
Frankly, Rotary has not always made.the.community sufficiently aware of its work.
Opportunities could be.missed, opportunities for increased service and partnerships, because
key decision-makers and community members are unaware of the possibilities.
Feel free- to contact the special phone number provided in the Globe. and Mail
supplement publication which I am attaching. Rotarians would be delighted to discuss Rotary,
its work in your community and the possibilities for~new forms of teamwork and service.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this message and all the best in your
important work as a local decision-maker in your community.. ,

A CELEBRATION: 90 YEARS OF SERVICE ABOVE SELF
Rotary celebrates its 90 Years of Service Above Self on February 23rd, 1995. Around
the world, and around the corner, festivities will take place during "Rotary World
Windows Week".
Rotary is an organization of business and professional persons united worldwide who
provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and
help build goodwill and peace.
In the effort to enhance understanding of Rotary's role in your area, we have enclosed
a copy of the Globe & Mail's supplement on Rotary, published February 20, 1995 to
commemorate the 90th anniversary of Rotary International.
Rotary has partnered with all levels of government throughout its history, from
applying grants to tree-planting projects in the Don River Valley to being instrumental
in the formation of the United Nations. Rotary works to bring together, in an impartial,
friendly atmosphere, people of all races, religious faiths, and political beliefs.
Rotary became an international organization with the formation of a club in Winnipeg,
Manitoba in 1910 and the Canadian representation of Rotary has increased to close to
600 clubs from coast to coast.
Canadian Rotary clubs contribute to their local commutities and the international
community through a number of programs. From the establishment of the Terry Fox
Hall of Fame at Metro Hall to eliminating polio from the world by the year 2000,
Rotarians have. been initiators, contributors, and partners to community groups,
government and the businesses which they represent.
Rotary is making a significant impact on your community. We hope you enjoy this
special focus on Rotary. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

FACT SHEET: THE IMPORTANCE OF PACKAGING WASTE
Packaging waste reduction is a significant problem for most municipal governments. For
FCM, it has been an ongoing, high-priority issue. Consider the following:
° 71 % of current municipal landfill capacity in Canada is now exhausted.
° Canada produces the most domestic waste per capita in the world.
° The 50% reduction called for by FCM and .agreed upon in NAPP would lower
Canada's packaging consumption to the level typical of Western European
countries, including those with higher standards of living than Canada's.
° Half of the waste currently going to landfill sites could be diverted, resulting in huge
savings in municipal costs.
~~ NAPP HISTORY
° In 1988, FCM challenged leaders of the three major political parties to commit to
Federal action to reduce the amount of packaging by 50% by the year 2000.
° Subsequently, the National Task Force on Packaging was created, and the National
Packaging Protocol (NAPP) was signed by the Federal Government and all
provincial/territorial governments.
~ f In 1991, FCM produced the Municipal Guide for the Promotion of PackaQino Waste
Reduction
In 1992, FCM launched a Postcard Campaign and across-Canada kiosk tour to
° underline to consumers and industry the importance of packaging waste reduction.
° FCM conducted a municipal environmental survey on packaging waste reduction.
° In 1994 FCM produced the FCM Packaging Waste Reduction Guide, organized a
Packaging Stewardship Workshop and produced a PackaQina Newsletter.
:~
° FCM submitted a brief to the Federal Government on the review of the Canadian
Environmental Protection Act, including a request for obligatory deposit/refund
systems.

For Immediate Release:February 28,1995 AGENDA
Release #95-015
BRAMPTON CRITICAL OF PROVINCE'S
DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST DOUBLE STANDARD
BRAMPTON, Ont. - On the eve of Provincial Cabinet discussions that will lead to the
proclamation of enhanced conflict of interest legislation for municipal councils, the City of
Brampton Council has learned that the Cabinet appears to be well on its way to implementing
new, less rigorous disclosure requirements for itself and other provincially elected officials.
;~ City Council compared sections of Bi11163, THE L.O AL. GOVERNMENT DISGLOSi1RE
nF INTEREST ACT, to Bi11209, the MEMBERS' INTEGRITY ACT, at its Council Meeting
of February 27, 1995:
When the NDP Government was elected, it decided that it was necessary to review the Municipal
Conflict of Interest Legislation. Approximately four years were spent reviewing the matter and
culminated in the passage of Bi11163, THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT DISC`L.O~~_OF
INTEREST ACT. This is the Bill the Cabinet is meeting to discuss.on March 1st to consider that
date for proclamation.
During the past four years, there was a great deal of consultation with municipalities and the
public on the content of the proposed legislation. The Government implemented many
suggestions in the Bill. However, Municipalities wanted to ensure that the legislation was based
on an important underlying principle: that the code of conduct which would be applied to
Municipal politicians should also apply to Provincial politicians.
The reason was simple. The integrity of elected officials transcends all levels of government.
Consistent rules will ensure consistent behaviour. This is something that the public demands of
their elected representatives.

(Disclosure of Interest Act - 2)
Unfortunately, that does not appeaz to be happening. On December 8th, the Government gave
three quick readings to Bi11209, the MEMBERS' INTE RITY ACT. The intent of the Act
seems similaz to Bill 163; that being to establish an appropriate code of conduct for elected
officials. It should be noted that the Province spent four years developing new rules for
municipal politicians, while it took a very short period of time, accompanied by little or no public
consultation, for the Province to come up with its own rules to govern the conduct of its
members.
It is very interesting.~to note that the Association of Municipalities of Ontario(AMO) lobbied very
hard for improvements to the Municipal conflict of interest legislation. Many of their suggestions
were rejected by the Province, only to find their way, word for word, into the Provincial Bi1L
Municipal conflict of interest legislation governs the conduct of local municipal officials at
Council and Committee meetings. They must publicly declaze any financial interest that they have
and not vote on a matter which may have a financial impact on themselves or their families. At
the commencement of each Council meeting, there is a requirement for members of Council to
disclose any potential conflict. This has been the practice of the Brampton Council for many
yeazs.
The following eacamples illustrate the double standard being created:
ROLE OF THE COMMISSIONER
• In each Bill, a Commissioner will be appointed to deal with complaints.
• The Provincial :Commissioner has enormous power and discretion. If the
Commissioner feels the complaint is frivolous or vexatious, the process is stopped.
• The Municipal Commissioner has no such discretion and the process must
continue.
GIVING OF NOTICE
• In the Provincial situation, the Commissioner gives notice to the member affected that a
complaint has been received.
• The Municipal Commissioner does not inform a member of Council that a complaint has
been filed and an investigation is commenced.
(more)
(Disclosure of Interest Act - 3)
ERRORS IN JUDGEMENT
• An M.P.P. can be excused for making a bona fide error in judgement or an error through
inadvertence.
• A Municipal politician has no such opportunity.
FILING OF DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
• M.P.P.s can file two disclosure statements, one subject to public scrutiny, and the other
filed privately with the Provincially appointed Commissioner.
• Municipal politicians must file their statements publicly and identify all of their assets
including, homes, cottages and investments.
AVOIDING MEETINGS
• Provincial Members of Parliament can avoid a potential conflict of interest by not
attending meetings.
• Municipal officials do not have.this option.
A recent AMO survey found 18 areas in Bi11209 that are less rigorous than the LSZCAL
GOVERNMENT DISCL.OSURF OF INTEREST ACT. Brampton Council is not suggesting for
one moment that the laws proposed for Councillors be less stringent than those proposed for
M.P.P.s. The real issue is that there should be consistency in the code of conduct for all

I am pleased to announce that the Multiple Sclerosis Society will be holding its third annual
SUPER CITIES WALK for Multiple Sclerosis in Oshawa on April 23, 1995. During the
spring of 1994, 42 WALKS involving 10,000 participants across the country raised a total of
$2.3 million for medical research and special service programs. WALKers are encouraged to
solicit pledge commitments that will be used to provide services to persons in the Durham region
who are afflicted with multiple sclerosis. In addition, funds will be provided for research into
the cause and cure of this disease:
We anticipate 800 WALKers participating in the 1995 Oshawa SUPER CITIES WALK. The
involvement in Durham region will be exciting and we would be delighted to welcome you at
our fundraising event again this year.
For the third consecutive year, Durham College will host the Start7Finish location. This year,
the 5 km and 10 km routes will remain the same, and the 20 km route will be changed in
response to WALKer feedback.
Thank you for proclaiming the event as an official WALK day in previous years. We would
request that you proclaim Sunday, Apri123 "The SUPER CITIES WALK Day" for Multiple
Sclerosis in your city, town or village again this year.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Re: Draft Plan Approval for Marchetti/De Minico
Bowmanville Lands on the south side of the
CPR, west side of Mearns Avenue
We are the owners, in trust, of a small piece of land (less than
30 acres) in Bowmanville~on the south side of the CPR line and on
the west side of Mearns~Avenue.
In preparation for draft plan approval (Kevin Tunney is our
~ planner) we have just learned that in preliminary studies of the
~ official plan review, our land is being considered for a
separate school site.
We strongly object to such a possibility, because the size of our
property already makes it marginal to a successful development.
This is not the first time for us to voice our concern about the
feasibility of developing our land if undue demands for public
use are placed on it.
On or about October 15, 1988, we were served with Notice of the
proposed Schickedanz subdivision located adjacent to our property
and on the west side.
On October 15, 1988, in a letter to Mr. L.D. Taylor of Newcastle
Planning Department, et al (a copy of which is attached), we
objected to 18T-87033 Schickedanz subdivision "because we do not
see any allocation of land for a future school in it; this
appears to contradict the Bowmanville Official Plan of the same
area which provides for two school sites in the area. We realize
that the two school boards have declared no interest in locating

the school in this subdivision which comprises by far the largest
ownership in tY-e area. It would not be fair, however, to approve
this subdivision without the proportionate contribution at market
value, of ScYiickedanz BrotY~ers Limited, toward a possible future
school in the vicinity east or west of Mearns Avenue. We shall
he satisfied if the school boards commit themselves, in writing,
not to request, in the future, any land in that quadrant of
Bowmanville."
In reply, we received written confirmation from the
Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education, dated October
26, 1988, that the Board of Education was not interested in our
land for a school site (a copy of the correspondence is
attached).
By correspondence dated January 3, 1989, we received further
written confirmation from the Peterborough Victoria
Northumberland and Newcastle Separate School board that its Board
was not interested in our land for a school site ( a copy of the
correspondence is attached).
Given these written confirmations, by correspondence to Dr.
Michael, Regional Commissioner of Planning, dated January 9,
1989, we withdrew our ,objection. We wrote:
"We are reassured that neither now, nor in the future, tY~ey (the
two school boards) will be seeking sites for schools in the
quadrant south of CPR, west of Mearns, north of Concession and
east of Li}~erty" (a copy of the said correspondence is attached).
On November 11, 1992, the Separate School Board wrote to us
saying that, "the Board is seeking 15 to 20 acres to replace our
existing school on Concessior- Street East".
On November 17, 1992, following telephone conversations, we wrote
hack, firmly declaring that we had "no intention of selling" and
that "we have taken steps to bring this site to draft plan
approval".
We rely on the written confirmations received by ixs and referred
to above.
Further, we firmly believe that before jeopardizing the
development of an already small, isolated property by making its
size even smaller, the draft plan approval of government
..3/

lands, (95 acres) on the east side of Mearns Avenue should be
reviewed. After all, they are public lands and public uses,
(including schools), should receive the highest priority. There
is an obligation, moral at least, to offer the lands first to
public agencies, before putting the government lands to other
uses, especially when tYiere is such a large infusion of
residential units.
The City of Etobicoke is very proud of and admired for having
realized a unique project of remarkable cooperation between the
two school k~oards of education (public and separate). TogetYier
with the Etobicoke Public Library Board and the municipal
community school system they are building and will soon use one
building, which is adjacent to a large recreational area.
The provincial government, through its Ontario Realty
Corporation, now so focused on housing, should seize this
opportunity to emulate the City of Etobicoke and erect a similar
facility on the east side of Mearns, adjacent to the park.
,~
I have shared the idea With Mr. Paul Brace of the Northumberland
and Newcastle School Board and with Mr. Ken Kary of the Separate
School Board. They appreciate the concept of sYiared facilities,
but they are both anxio~zs to proceed with their plans, "beca~zse
we have lots of portable classrooms in that part of Bowmariville"
With a bit of good will on everybody's part, the problem can lie
solved to the satisfaction of all within a short period of time
and in a real smart way.
In these difficult financial times, governments of all levels are
realizing more and more that their operations must be
streamlined. The Minister of Education Dave Cooke has recently
admonished: "We have to eliminate duplication and become cost-
efficient iri everything we do... The government will mandate the
sharing of services..."
We must stretch our public dollar and should encourage private
initiatives rather than frustrate them.
...3/

Please be advised that we will strongly obiect to any further
steps taken by the School Boards to locate a school on our land.
We hope to hear from you soon.

With respect to your letter of 15 October 1988, please be advised that the
~ School Board has no interest in property in your particular subdivision. As I
explained to you, we have requested a piece of property in a subdivision east
of Mearins Avenue and north of Concession Street and such school would service
s your particular subdivision.
I am, however, interested in your comments with respect, to developers
~~ contributing to the purchase of school properties in their area. This

Dear Dr. Michael:
re: Schickedanz Subdivision 18T-87033
Finally we have received the letters from both Boards of Education,
(public and private), which have jurisdiction over Bowmanville.
We are reassured that neither now nor in the future, they will
be seeking sites for schools in the quadrant south of•the CPR,

The Separate School Board for Peterborough-Victoria- ~`~
Northumberland and Newcastle is seeking a new school site
for St. Stephen's Secondary School in Bowmanville. In this '
regard, we have asked for assistance from the Planning
Department at the Town of Newcastle. One possible site
identified is the lands on the west side of Mearns Road,
south of the railway tracks. The owners of these lands are
identified as Emily Marchetti (In Trust) and Anthony
Deminico (In Trust). .
It is our understanding that these lands comprise approx-
imately 20 or 22 acres. The Separate School Board is seeking
15 to 20 acres to replace our existing school on Concession
Stxeet.--East.. We are interested in determining what your
plans are for the site, and whether a new Roman Catholic
Secondary School might be a possibility at this location.
I would be pleased to meet with you or your representative to
discuss this matter further. I can be reached from Toronto
toll-free at 1-800-461-8009. I look forward to hearing from r
you in the near future.

For Immediate Release:February 28, 1995
Release #95-015
BRAMPTON CRITICAL OF PROVINCE'S
Di~r~ nst~RE OF INTEREST DOUBLE STANDARD
BRAiVIPTOi`I, Ont. - On the eve of Provincial Cabinet discussions that will lead to the
~ proclamation of enhanced conflict of interest legislation for municipal councils,. the City of
Brampton Council has learned that the Cabinet appears to be well on its way to implementing
new, less rigorous disclosure requirements for itself and other provincially elected officials.
City Council compared sections of Bill 163, THE LOC aL ,O'~'ER`'~tr~1T DISCLOSL?R~
OF iNT .REST ACT, to Bi11209, the V1EMB .RS' INTEGRITY ACT, at its Council Meeting
of February 27, 1995:
When the NDP Government was elected, it decided that it was necessary to review the Municipal
Conflict of Interest Legislation.. Approximately four years were spent reviewing the matter and
culminated in the passage of Bill 163, T.br i OCAL ~OVERh~ :~:EV'I' DISGL.OSLTR_E OF
' I\r'I'EREST ACT. This is the Bill the Cabinet is meeting to discuss on'Mareh 1st to consider that
` dace for proclamation.
During the past four years, there was a great deal of consultation with municipalities and the
public on the content of the proposed legislation. The Government implemented many
suggestions in the Bill. However, Municipalities wanted to ensure that the legislation was based
on an irr_~ortant underlyin; principle: that the code of conduct which would be applied to
l~iunicipal politicians should also apply to Provincial politicians.
:e :ezson was simple. The inter icv of elected officials trznscends zll levels of Qover:~ent.
Consis[ent rules will ensure consistent behaviour. This is something chat the public demands of
eir elected reoresentadves.
- .,
_-iiir••~
'Ut117tyv .
(Disclosure of Interest Act: - 2)
Unfortunately, that does not appear to be happening. On December 8th, the Government gave
three quick readings to Bi11209, the iy1E1~iBERS' INTEGRITY ACT. The intent of the Act
seems similar to Bill 163; that being to establish an appropriate code of conduct for elected
officials. It should be noted that the Province spent four years developing new rules for
municipal politicians, while it took a very short period of time, accompanied by little or no public
consultation, for the Province to come up with its own rules to govern the conduct of its
members.
It is very interesting to note that the Association of l~funicipalities of Ontario(A~IO) lobbied very
hard `or improvements to the viunicipal conflict of interest legislation. l~1any of their suggestions
were :ejected by the Province, only to find their way, word for word, into the Provincial Bill.
Municipal conflict of interest legislation governs the conduct of local municipal officials at
Council and Committee meetings. They must publicly declaze any financial interest that they have
and not voce on a matter which may have a financial impact on themselves or their families. At
the commencement of each Council meeting, there is a requirement for members of Council to
disclose any potential conflict. This has been the practice of the Brampton Council for many
years.
The following examples illustrate the double standard being created:
ROLE OF THE COMMISSIONER
• Ln each Bill, a Commissioner will'oe appointed to deal with complaints.
• Tne Provincial Commissioner has enormous power and discretion. If the
Commissioner feels the complaint is frivolous or vexatious; the process is stopped.
• T'ne l~iunicipal Commissioner has no such discretion and the process must
cor.Lnue.
GIVLV'G OF NOTICE
• L-t the Provincial situation, the Commissioner ;vex notice to the member affected that a
~o =~iairt h as been received.
• ::.e ~vlunici~al Commissioner does not inform a member of CounC;.: that ~ comolaint has
beet pled and an investiQadon is commenced.

(D~ sclosure or" Interest Act - 3)
ERRORS I~t TUDGEMENT
• An M.P.P. can be excused for making a bona fide error in judgement or an error through
inadvertence.
• A Municipal politician has no such opportunity.
FILI~i IG OF DISCLOSURE STATE~/IE~IT
• 1~I.P.P.s can file two disclosure statements, one subject to public scrutiny, and the other
filed privately with the Provincially appointed Commissioner.
• Municipal politicians must file their statements publicly and identify all of their assets
including, homes, cottages and investments.
AVOIDI~iG MEETINGS
• Provincial l~iembers of Parliament can avoid a potential cotu'lict of interest by not
attending meetin;s.
• l~lunicipal officials do not have this option.
A recent ~ti10 survey found 18 areas in Bi11209 that are less ri;orous than the T "0~4i .
rOVER_N1ylE~iT DISC) OSUR_F OF TN'1'EREST ACT. Brampton Council is not suggesting for
one moment that the laws proposed for Councillors be less stringent than those proposed for
M.P.P.s. The real issue is that there should be consistency in the code of conduct for all
politicians.
Both Bills still require proclamation by the Provincial Government. There is still time to
harmonize these two important pieces of legislation.
-~_~~
(Disclosure of Interest Act - 4) •
Brampton Council therefore sent a very strong and clear message to the Province in the form of
the following Resolution:
1) "WHEREAS, the public demands that all elected officials carry out their duties with
integrity;
2) AND WHEREAS, the Provincial Cabinet is considering proclaiming Bill 163, THE

4) BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED,that the Corporation of the City of Brampton
respectfully requests that the Province temporarily delay the proclamation of Bill 163 until
such time as the Bill can be harmonized with Bill 209, THE ~ .MB R4' TTY

5) AND FURTHER THAT a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Premier Rae, Ed, Philip
- Minister of Municipal Affairs, Carman McClelland -M.P.P., Brampton North, Bob
Callahan -M.P.P. Brampton South; and Bill Mickle -President of the Association of

To: Chief Administrative Officers
Members of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities
D-12
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) in conjunction with Coopers & Lybrand
(C$L) is pleased to present the attached Survey of Municipal Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Practices and Information Requirements.
The GST rebate for municipal governments is one of FCM's most important achievements.
Negotiated through three years of arduous analysis involving FCM, the Departments of Finance
and Revenue, the provinces, the private sector and other public institutions, the rebate provides
hundreds of millions of dollars annually to municipal governments. The rebate helps ensure the
capacity of municipal governments to deliver quality public services and maintains the flexibility
for municipal governments to contract out to private sector suppliers. FCM continues to work
with its members and federal officials through its GST Technical Committee to resolve on-going
technical issues respecting municipal governments and the GST.
irtl ~'.~ r-:' .';nt GST has been a factor in the daily operations of Canadian municipalities for more than four
yeazs; However. many of the rules regazding the application of GST in the multi-disciplined
`r"''"' R"" `!"~r`r public service environment faced by most municipalities aze not well understood. The current
:-wnuat..-\..~.-~.~
tax system is complex in part because of the availability of a variety of elective or alternative
~d~nt.~~- - GST reporting mechanisms. In certain cases, the tax status of a supply may be altered through
careful structuring of the transaction.
:nrs ~~'. hni_ht
;t,t;,~ 1,: ,;:,; We believe that the key to successful management of the complex GST system is through
:.tctn ,_c:~. education and coordination among members of the municipal sector. In line with FCM's
Corporate Connections initiative, the attached survey is the first step in a process initiated by
FCM which may result in a nationally coordinated, efficient and cost effective system of
professional services and information support for municipalities in the azea of GST and other
commodity taxes. The information gathered from your responses to this survey will also be of
great assistance to FCM's policy group.
As you know, FCM is very active in current discussions over replacement of the GST to ensure
that no greater burden is imposed on municipal govemments. We expect that a replacement tax
will come into effect in 1996 at the earliest and more likely in 1997. Thus the proposed GST
support services for member municipalities will remain relevant for some time. If the rebate
mechanism is maintained under any alternative tax, the demand among municipalities for
technical support may continue well into the future.

The attached survey questionnaire has been designed to be completed by a senior financial officer
who has a broad knowledge of, and responsibility for, the administrative GST practices of your
municipality. We have attempted to present the questionnaire in a concise format for ease and
convenience of completion. Each participant's identity and responses will be regarded in strict
confidence. The results of the survey will be distributed to respondents. If you have any
questions regarding the survey or any related matter, please contact Mr. Carl Beck, Director -

In the last few years, Canada Health Day has come to be recognized as one of Canada's premiere
national events focusing attention on our health system. For many public health centres and health
facilities and agencies, May 12th, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth, is an opportunity
to highlight their community's vision of health and health care.
Canada Health Day is jointly sponsored by the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) and the
Canadian Hospital Association with management responsibilities carried out by CPHA. Last year,
close to 250 public health units and health facilities and agencies carried out a wide range of Canada
Health Day activities on or around May 12th. The theme this year is Creating a New Agenda for
Health.
At this time, we are writing to invite you to lend your support to this significant health event. We
would be honoured if you were to proclaim Canada Health Day on May 12th, 1995, in your
municipality. A sample proclamation is attached.
Your participation and support will enhance this important national health event. We are also
contacting the federal, provincial and territorial ministers of health to invite their participation.
Thank you for your considerate
Sincerely,
0`e

fiscal restraint and restructuring, which calls for new partnerships among providers
of care and the community, and
Whereas...Canada Health Day encourages a renewed sense of partnership between
consumers, health agencies acid governments to meet the challenges of the 21st
century together, and
Whereas...the 1995 "Creating a New Agenda for Health" symbolizes the relationship

RE: Concerns - F~'anning File DEV 94-067
1. Will EP zoning be disregarded where major developments are involved?
2. Entry/exit from DEV 94-067 onto Courtice Road will inconvenience long-time
residents whose houses will be facing oncoming traffic from 2 interchanges;
better to have 1 major interchange with traffic lights located across from
vacant property inbetween these houses.
3. Traffic on Courtice Road as major connector to HWY 401 especially during
rush hour will become unbearable. Are there plans to tie in DEV 94-067 with
the proposed HWY 407 connector?
4. Has the previous proposed zoning by-law amendment been addressed in which
the developer wanted to greatly increase the population density of the area?

Although Canada Day is still several months away, all members of the Canada Day
Committee for Ontario have been actively preparing for successful celebrations on July 1,
1995 - a celebration of Canada and being part of this vast and beautiful land.
In this regard, I am pleased to provide you with two application forms -one for
community-based celebrations and the other for the Canada Day Youth Award. I hope that
you will take a few minutes to review both documents and begin the process of planning
your July 1 festivities and, thereby, ensure that your applications are submitted by the due
dates of April 13 (Canada Day Grant Application form) and April 28 (Canada Day Youth
Award form) respectively.
You will note that there is a one-page insert that calls attention to a number of special
anniversaries in 1995. This year we mark two important anniversaries in the life of our
country -the 30th anniversary of our national flag (February 15) and the 15th anniversary of
D Canada as our national anthem (July 1st). In addition, we as a nation will focus on the
50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War ("Canada Remembers") and the
creation of the United Nations. This information may be of assistance to you as you begin
the process of planning your events and making your celebrations all the more meaningful.
As in the past, we encourage you to join groups across the country in participating in
the "Colours of Canada" initiative. The idea is as striking as it is simple -plant flowers in
the official colour of Canada (red and white) around your home, school, place of worship,
office, town hall, park or wherever to visually demonstrate and share your pride in Canada.
Encourage your family, friends and colleagues to take part and join in the fun.
Canada Day is a unique opportunity for each and everyone of us to demonstrate pride
in our country. Start your planning now and join with people in all regions of Canada in
making Canada Day 1995 a colourful, fun and meaningful celebration.
HAPPY CANADA DAY! ~ ~-

1995 - A SPECIAL YEAR OF CELEBRATION
Canada Day 1995 will have a much greater significance as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of our national flag
and the 15th anniversary of'O Canada as our national anthem. Ensure that these two national symbols are integrated
in all programs planned for Canada Day and indeed throughout the year.
In addition to the anniversaries of our flag. and anthem, this year also marks the culmination of an important
program with very special meaning for our country. "Canada Remembers" will focus attention on the
commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and ensure that Canada's past and
ongoing participation in bringing peace to the world is appropriately honoured. As we celebrate our country on
Canada Day, it is important o take,time to reflect on our status as a society that lives in freedom and peace. The
Second World War dramatically challenged and changed our society as never before.
In formulating plans. for your Canada Day celebrations, you might want to share ideas related to "Canada
Remembers" with the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, other veterans' organizations, Canadian Forces
bases, historical societies, museums, libraries and other community groups.
Canada Day 1995 will also have a special focus on the 50th anniversary of the creation of the United Nations. As
one of the 50 founding members of the United Nations, Canada has shown its commitment to the ideals which the
UN has stood for over the last 50 years. Our country has played an important role in the organization - as honest
broker, conciliator, initiator of international peacekeeping and human rights advocate.
Our national day is a natural time for Canadians to acknowledge the contribution that Canada has made to world
peace, relief from hunger, health and human rights and to recognize those Canadians who have "made a difference"
working with or for the UN.
Your Canada Day festivities could include ideas/events that promote the importance and relevance of the UN
to your community. Celebrate the achievements and involve or honour those Canadians in your community
who have "made a difference" -the UN peacekeepers, humanitarian aid and human rights workers, health
professionals, technical specialists and administrators.
Local museums, schools, libraries, Canadian Forces bases, Scouts and Guides and other community groups may also
be interested in participating. Ensure that your celebrations are as colourful, inclusive and meaningful as possible.
Happy Canada Day!

Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
We read with interest the January 14th Toronto star article
which stated "the mayors say their communities need hourly GO
trains to .provide the area-wide commuter service needed to sustain
prosperity". We fully agree.
You know the importance of hourly passenger rail services to
communities. Given your knowledge, we hope you will join us in our
efforts to improve rail services and bring hourly services to many
more communities throughout the GTA and beyond.
In your position as mayor, we hope you will use your office
and influence to further these policy ideas. We urge you to raise
them at the council of mayors, the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario, and with the provincial and federal governments.
The enclosed pamphlet, prepared by Rail Ways to the Future
Committee has been written to provide information and ideas on
rerailing Ontario. A questionnaire has also been enclosed. We
hope this questionnaire will begin a dialogue with you. Should you
have questions or require future informaiton please do not hesitate
to call.

Provincial elections will be called within the upcoming year. Now is the time to
develop your positions for improved rail services in the Province of Ontario.
Ontario needs a transport network that will provide efficiency, convenience, be
weather immune, environmentally benign, safe, affordable, and will provide a sound
basis for a rapidly accelerating future. Abroad-based return to rail would contribute
greatly to this outlook.

Overview
Ontario's present trend towards more and more cars, trucks, airplanes, highways,
and runways is unsustainable, both economically and environmentally. Errors made
now in transport planning will cost heavily and these costs (financial, environmental,
societal and medical) will grow exponentially over a time period shorter than we think.
Shifts in transportation modes are vital to our future. Otherwise, our ris-
ing dependence on motor vehicles will lead to grave economic, environ-
mental and social consequences.
Consider the rail advantage:
• trains provide a transport network that is weather-immune, environmentally-friendly,
safe, and low cost;
• trains consume little land; adouble-track railway can carry more passengers and more
freight than a sixteen lane highway;
• our highways are bankrupting our provincial government - $1 billion net a year lost
on road costs; $9 billion a year spent on accident costs;
• pollution from automobiles is choking our cities, damaging crops and leading to un-
precedented rates of asthma;
• road related accidents are the rnajor source of human mortality between the ages of
one and 24;
• roads and parking lots consume 25% to 50% of city land;
• rail minimizes dependence on imported energy and converts money now exported for
oil into permanent jobs.
Frequent, reliable, comfortable passenger rail service is an achievable
goal:
• comfortable, cost-efficient, reliable technology exists;
• a vast network of track and/or roadbed is already in place;
• the volume of road traffic attests to a need for train services;'
• our transportation budget is adequate and can be diverted to fund rail.
So, if passenger rail services are attainable, why don't we have frequent
interurban trains?
• our governments have not attracted or supported investment in new, self-propelled
rail car equipment;
• government money is dissipated on new roads and on accident costs instead of being
directed to rail service and infrastructure;
• communities are being built to accommodate cars, leading to urban sprawl and farm
land waste instead of being centred on train stations;
• our Federal government has abdicated its responsibility for rail services, while the
~,,, Province of Ontario, through its actions, denies its financial responsibility for
balanced transportation services;
• the Province of Ontario lacks a rail policy, and has no plan to shift to the rail mode of
transportation.
(1)
We propose that the Province of Ontario develop a comprehensive freight
and passenger rail plan.
The government talks about making Ontario competitive in the North American and
world markets. While it talks, our major competitors have realized the potential of the
railway system and have pushed ahead with plans to re-rail. Unless the Province of
Ontario moves quickly, we will fall behind. It is clear that already pendin
abandonments of rail have serious long term implications for the economic potential o~
the province, including heavy haul NAFTA Linkages on the North American rail
network. It puts us out of step with the resurgence of rail happening elsewhere and puts
us at a competitive disadvantage with our neighbours who continue to develop strong
rail and intermodal connections.
Individual states in the U. S. have developed comprehensive plans to use rail assets.
In Wisconsin, the goal is geographic equity for communities and industrial parks,
showing how far we are falling behind. -Throughout Europe a new, efficient railway
network is being developed. Unless we can move our products and people as quickly,
reliably and at as low energy costs as our rivals we can not hope to compete in the
world market.
Switzerland has already approved the expenditure of several billion dollars to
construct rail tunnels in order to ban inefficient, frontier-to-frontier truck transport.
Ontario's precious Niagara agricultural lands need similar protection from frontier-to-
frontier trucking.
Our major railways and rail unions need to proceed swiftly to develop internal
short-line strategies. Ontario's current labour legislation appears to act as a deterrent to
short-line startups.
We propose that the Province of Ontario take the lead and fund a
provincial rail plan while demanding federal financial support for the
development of provincial rail plans.
In the United States, the federal government has recognized the importance of rails
to the economy and has provided grants to individual states to develop rail plans. With
plans in place, the Federal Railroad Administration has awarded $15.3 million to thirty
states for rehabilitation of track operated by local and regional freight railroads.
During the same period in Canada, our federal government has permitted rail
abandonments and cut funds. Instead of supporting rail, the Canadian federal
government is funding the far less efficient, less competitive and more polluting forms
of transport -truck, car and aircraft.
The Province of Ontario needs to -show leadership in this area. Our federal
government has but us in a North American "free trade" market but has not followed
through by providing the same level of support for rail infrastructure as the United
States is enjoying. We cannot hope to compete if the Americans subsidize their state rail
services and we do not. Our rovincial government needs to join with other provinces
and demand federal support ~or an efficient rail plan and infrastructure.

We propose that the Province of Ontario establish a policy to protect and
preserve all rail corridors in the province, including tracks and bridges.
In 1970 Ontario had 9,193 miles of track; now we have 7,253. Proposed mergers and
abandonments could cut this to under 4,000 miles. For the cost of just one kilometer of
the 407, our rail corridors could be protected.
Abandoned rail lines and rights of way need to be maintained in a stabilized state by
the province for possible future reactivation. These need to be placed under Ministry of
Transportation trusteeship for a minimum of five years and renewable so official
planners and local enterprise can propose viable use such as short lines, commuter
routes, tourist lines, etc.
In the event no immediate rail use can be developed for a rail corridor, the routes
should be preserved as recreational trails. Such development should be conditional on
the corridor being reactivated at some future time. An other proposed use, such as
hydro transmission, pippelines or water lines, must be with the proviso that there is room
for a double track rail lme and overhead trolley wiring: The selling and dismembering
of rail corridors must not be permitted. The short-sighted rush by our two major
railways to tear up their tracks must be stopped.
Where rail lines have been abandoned and track removed, modern track laying
procedures could quickly provide.replacement, if the right of way remains intact. Even
if sold, rights of way can be re-created or replaced in another location. While costly, the
benefits are enduring.
We propose that the Province of Ontario establish a program to attract
and support investment in new, cost-effective interurban self-propelled
rail passenger equipment. .
These low-cost vehicles require just one operator (like a bus) so they are economical
and service can be frequent. 'The equipment should be low-floor, accessible, flexible
modular units with tilt mechanisms.
L
While this is familiar technology in Europe and Japan, it has been lost in North
America. Rediscovery by Ontario could put us m a leadership export position and
provide much-needed jobs in our manufacturing sector.
These units would offer speedy operation on branch lines and provide passenger
comfort and safety far beyond that possible with the automobile and also meet strict
environmental standards. Such cars can be linked quickly to regular commuter trains.
Modular designs are flexible and can accommodate wheelchairs, bicycles, baggage and
mail. They can meet a variety of passenger needs, function as diesel or electric services
and are cheap to maintain and operate. These self-propelled rail passenger vehicles
could also haul light freight boxes with both rail and road wheels as required.
(5)
We propose that the Province of Ontario set a goal of hourly interurban
passenger rail service on all feasible routes, and frequent service on
lower-demand routes.
Ontario is in an excellent position to re-rail. We still have thousands of miles of track
in excellent condition going through the majority of Ontario cities. We should be
making full use of this valuable infrastructure rather than wasting limited tax dollars on
new and wider roads.
Without frequent and efficient train services as part of a comprehensive network
conveniently linking us to communities, airports and tourist destinations, eopple turn to
the road network. The numbers are staggering. Every year, over 72,690,0~0,~00 vehicle
kilometres of travel occur on our provincial roads.
And yet, where reliable train service is provided (for example GO services), use is
growing. Latest corridor counts for Metro Toronto show GO trips to be the fastest
growing transportation choice.
The Province needs to ex and the mandate of GO. This can be successfully
integrated with VIA. There has~een one exam le of this in the past, but much more is
needed. Such services would provide models for further expansion. When this is done
in conjunction with feeder bus services and urban transit systems, a comprehensive
network of public transportation will reduce automobile use.
We propose that the Province of Ontario set a goal to provide seasonal
and weekend rail service to Ontario's tourist/recreational destinations;
As a first step, a task force should be established to plan and implement
a pilot project. .
Ontario is fortunate to have tracks to many key tourist areas. Furthermore,
commuter rail equipment is sitting idle over the weekends and could immediately be
made available.
Weekend excursions could assist holiday commuters. Travel to ski areas could
become pleasurable, rather than hazardous. Summer lake districts could be reached
without suffering bumper-to-bumper car and truck traffic. Needless highway deaths
could be avoided. With special trains, automobiles could be transported by rail for use
at the destination.
(6)
t
We propose that the Province of Ontario make a commitment to a modal
shift to rail and establish a target of i% shift per year for 25 years.
When the first GO service was implemented as an experiment in 1967, it was
anticipated it would take a year to attract 15,000 commuters a day. This level of
ridership was surpassed in four months. Where fast and reliable rail services are
available, people choose them as their transport mode. Success stories abound
worldwide -San Diego; Portland; France's TGV. In Japan and Sweden a very high
percentage of passenger trips are by rail.
A shift in transportation modes is vital to our future. Otherwise our rising
dependence on motor vehicles will lead to grave consequences:
• The world's 400 million vehicles are the chief source of air pollution;
• Metro Toronto's car numbers are estimated to double in the next decade;
• Auto commuters use 10 times the energy of rail commuters;
• In 40 years Metro Toronto must accommodate 2 million more people without
gridlock;
• Ontario pays almost $3 billion annually to import motor fuels;
• Lowering C021evels 20% world-wide requires energy-glutton Canadians to reduce
emissions by 80%;
• A seat in a plane requires 7 times the energy of a seat in a train;
• Canadians are energy gluttons, using more er capita than anyone else in the world;
• As congestion increases, the productivity ofpour labour force will decline.
We propose that the Province of Ontario develop a balanced
transportation budget in keeping with its modal share goals, allocating a
minimum of $i on a rail improvement and incentive programs for every
$4 spent on road improvements. .
The Ministry of Transportation speaks about a balanced transportation system and a
reduced reliance on the private automobile. However, when it comes to Budget time,
most of the money is allocated to roads.
L
In fact, had our governments not subsidized roads, highways and airports so
heavily, railroads would be self-supporting. In a level playing field environment,
railways win hands down. Instead, our government spending and taxation policies
make it possible for: 90 polluting trucks with 90 drivers to compete with atwo-person
crew operating a train with 90 containers; and, a polluting commuter pplane carrying 50
passengers to compete with a Montreal train carrying 700 passengers. T~olicies, taxes and
funding need to move toward a level playing field.
MTO urgently needs to do traffic counts to determine flow of goods and people by
all modes in all provincial corridors. The full cost advantages and environmental
benefits of a modal shift to rail could then be calculated. Savings could be passed on as
rebates to industries and intermodal truckers who use rail.

Dear Elected Municipal Representative:
On November 30, 1994, the Federal Justice Minister, Allan Rock announced the Government's Action
Plan on Firearms Control that included wide-sweeping changes to the way the government deals with
firearms now legally in the hands of responsible citizens, along with changes to the way with which
criminals who use firearms are penalized.
On February 14, 1995, Allan Rock introduced Bill C-68, the draft legislation that will implement the
Government's Action Plan, and in particular, will establish a costly registration system of both firearm
owners and their firearms even though registration systems do not inhibit criminals. A recent survey by
Maclean's and CTV clearly showed that only S% of Canadians believe more gun control will do anything
about violent crime.
The Ontario Federation of. Anglers and Hunters (O.F.A.H.) is opposed to those sections of the Action
Plan and the draft legislation that penalize legal firearm owners but strongly supports those sections
of the proposal that tighten up border crossings and increase the mandatory sentencing provisions of the
Criminal Code; these measures have real potential to reduce firearms c><•ime and the availability of
firearms to criminals.
Your Municipality's support in these efforts is requested and would be appreciated. Send a message to
the Justice Minister that he should target criminals with his plans, not law-abiding citizens: legitimate
firearm owners are not the cause of crime in Canada! Further red tape and administration costs of a
universal firearms and owners registration system cannot be justified in terms of reduction in crime.
The cost of the registering all firearms in Canada, along with the mandatory possession licencing scheme,
will be hundreds of millions of dollars, a completely unnecessary wasteful burden on Canadian taxpayers.
Can your police service afford to have its scant resources wasted on needless registrations and checks
on law-abiding citizens?
Please consider the attached resolution at our next meetin ,and send a messa a to the Justice Minister
Y g g
that he should reconsider his plans. Please call if you have any questions. Time }s;-~,ov~gver; of-the

FIREARMS CONTROL RESOLUTION
WHEREAS: the Federal Government has released "The Government's Action Plan on Firearms
Control" and given this plan form in the draft legislation Bill C-68; and
WHEREAS: the Federal Minister of Justice has not established that this Action Plan will
reduce crime or improve public safety; and
WHEREAS: the Action Plan and legislation, if implemented, contain severe sanctions and
restrictions on the continued ownership of firearms by responsible, law-abiding citizens by
subjecting them to unnecessary and unjustified controls, limits, stipulations, red tape and financial
burdens; and
WHEREAS: the existing controls on firearms ownership as contained in the Criminal Code of
ada and the Regulations passed pursuant to the Criminal Code are more than adequate to
ensure public safety and that crime could be''bontrolled through enforcement of the existing laws
along with those proposed in Bill C-68 to counter criminal firearm use; and
WHEREAS: implementation of further controls on law-abiding Canadians as proposed in the
Federal Action Plan on Firearms.Control will place an overwhelming burden on scarce police
resources at the local, regional, and provincial levels; such costs that would be better used
fighting crime;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
That we are opposed to those measures in the Government's Action Plan and in Bill C-68 that
impose needless burdens on law-abiding Canadians such as universal firearms registration and
licencing;
That we are opposed to any measures that prohibit or ban any firearms that are presently, or were
prior to January 1, 1995, legally owned by registered owners in Canada;
That we insist that the Government of Canada abandon those sections of the Action Plan on
Firearms Control affecting the continued ownership and legal use of firearms by responsible
Canadians;
AND FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED:
And that the Right Honourable Jean Cretien, Justice Minister Allan Rock, our Member of
Parliament, the Clerk of the Standing Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, and our Member
of Provincial Parliament be advised of this resolution.

On Friday, April 28th, 1995, the Canadian Labour Congress
and its affiliates across Canada will be observing a one
minute silence at 12 noon in recognition of a National Day
of Mourning for the thousands of workers who are killed
every year on the job~and the hundreds of thousands who
are injured across Canada.
We, at the Durham Regional Labour Council, feel it is
important to raise the level of consciousness regarding
the toll taken in our workplaces in order to prevent this
unnecessary suffering in the future. In the past ten
years 2,500 Ontario workers died on the job or because of
it. That's about one worker for every workday. About
400,000 workers were injured on the job in'1991.
We are writing to you to inform you of our Council's
campaign to request every municipality in the Region of
Durham, to proclaim, as an annual event, April 28th, a Day
of Mourning in recognition of workers killed, injured or
disabled on the job, and would ask that you encourage
other municipalities in Ontario to support the request
that will be made to them by local Labour Councils and
Unions.
I have enclosed a copy of a Proclamation, produced by the
Canadian Labour Congress, which you may wish to use as
your official Proclamation. I would further ask that you
support our efforts to have the Day of Mourning recognized
across Ontario, as an annual event, to help reduce the
terrible toll taken by on the job accidents and illnesses..
Cont'd..P.2

I would also like to take this opportunity to invite you
to attend the Day of Mourning Ceremonies to be held at
Oshawa City Hall on Friday, April 28, 1995 from 12:00 noon
to 1:00 p.m.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in this effort.

- a Day of Mourning for these victims of workplace
accidents and disease;
- a day to remember the supreme sacrifice they have been
forced to make in order to earn a living;
- a day to renew approaches to governments for tougher

Dear Council Members
COUNCIL DIRECTION
j~.; ~ ~ ~ E } mss }et j ~~~
I write to you as fair-minded individuals and representatives of the residents in the
communities of Clarington. I ask you to take your responsibilities seriously and make sure
that there is fairness to all sides in the case of the shooting of the Gasser dog on February
20, 1995.
Nowhere in the Livestock, Poultry and Honey Bee Protection Act, chapter L.24 is there any
suggestion that the shooter should not be identified, or that the circumstances of the shooting
should be secret. In order to put this matter to rest the dog owners need to know all the
details of what happened. By wanting to remain anonymous, the shooter is giving the
impression that he/she has something to hide. Why has the Town, so faz, interpreted the
Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act to deny the dog owners
information about their personal property, namely the dog? The Town has everything to gain
by putting all the cazds on the table - if the shooter does keep poultry, if the dog was on the
shooter's property, if the dog did cause poultry damage. However, by refusing to provide a
clear explanation of the facts the Town appeazs to be protecting the shooter, and one
wonders, "Why would the Town want to do that?"
This issue should be resolved without further delay. Neighbours in the Best Road azea aze
looking at each other with suspicion. In rural azeas such as this, neighbours need to be able
to trust each other. It is a responsibility of elected municipal councillors to foster good
relations within the community and not encourage Town staff to drive stakes of division and
suspicion between neighbours.
D-22
not waste any more time. The dog owners need to know what happened on the morning of_ _ _~
February 20, 1995, the shooter must bear the consequences of his/her action and ex~H~' ~ I~TtON
what happened, and the Town's role is to facilitate this process. Maybe then Cher ~@E~~e,,~~'a..l__..._.._~.
There aze so many pressing issues for Council to address, this is an easy one to solve. Let's
end to this.

G.P.& A. Minutes - 2 - March 20, 1995
DELEGATIONS
(a) Nancy Armstrong, Durham Animal Adoption, 19 Loscombe Drive,
Bowmanville, L1C 3S8 - re: Report CS-8-95 -advised that all concerns
have not been completely addressed. She asked who will police if
medical care should or should not be given? Will the hours of service
allow pet owners to retrieve their pets from the shelter? If complaints are
to be referred to municipal staff, will emergency calls be handled quickly?'
Would the Municipality be able to "take over" if the contractor were
dismissed?' In her estimation, quality care cannot be enforced by writing
requirements into a contract. She suggested that a Task Force be formed
and that the Humane Society or the Ontario Society for Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals work in conjunction with the contractor to enhance
and improve the animal care program.
(b) Liz White, Director, Animal Alliance of Canada, 221 Broadview Avenue,
Suite 101, Toronto, M4M 2G3 - re: Report CS-8-95 -advised that the
animal contractor in London has a very interesting working arrangement
with the Humane Society and that this be reviewed by staff along with
Yarow Pound in Trenton and Durenco Pounds. She suggested that a Task
Force be formed pertaining to this matter, that the contract not be given
to a "multiple contract" contractor as these types of contractors are very
confusing to deal with. She also suggested that a "lump sum payment"
type contract not be put in place.
(c) • Dr. Greg Topolie, Courtice Pet Clinic, 1500 Highway No. 2, Courtice,
L1 E 2T5 - Re: Report CS-8-95 -was called but was not present.
