As Mr. Eves pointed out, the province faces a spending crisis. Revenues are lower than projected by the former government, and expenditures are much higher. The deficit is significantly worse than the previous government anticipated.. We are therefore taking swift and decisive action to reduce spending immediately. Many of the measures announced today will directly affect municipal governments. It is very important, though, to consider these measures in the context of our commitment to reinvent. the way government works. I would like to reaffum the commitment we made during the campaign to work with municipalities to discuss ways of reducing government entanglement and bureaucracy, to eliminate waste and duplication. Taxpayers don't want one level of government simply to pass on costs to another level. They want all levels to reduce costs. We will work toward that goal with you. I am enclosing a copy of the financial statement in its entirety. There are, however, a couple of things to which I would particularly like to draw your attention. You will see that the government is reducing social assistance rates. This measure will result in savings for municipalities. Other changes in the social services area will result in slightly higher costs to municipalities but the majority of municipalities will come out on the positive side of the ledger. We recognize, though, that some municipalities will lose more than they recoup. The Ministry of Community and Social Services will be prepared to consider one-time payments to those municipalities so they can protect services. /2 -z- I am also pleased to confu-m the government's commitment to the Canada Ontario Infrastructure Works program. We will continue to meet our commitments under the program, and total provincial funding will remain unchanged. Today's economic statement shows a $73 million deferral in COIW funding to reflect the federal government's plan to extend the program from three to five years. We are working to renegotiate the terms of our legal agreement with the federal government and I am hopeful that we can quickly reach consensus on new terms which will accommodate provincial and local objectives.. As you know, these fiscal restraints will affect some of your road and transit projects. They involve deferrals of expenditures, not cancellation of project commitments. I want to assure you that my colleague, the Minister of Transportation, remains committed to ensuring that the province has a strong transportation network to meet its economic needs. The Ministry of Transportation will work with municipalities to ensure that our priority transportation needs are met. Over the next few weeks, provincial staff from different ministries will be in touch with appropriate municipal staff to provide more information on the various measures that affect you. In the meantime, if you have questions about what today's economic statement means to your municipality, please feel free to contact the nearest regional office of my ministry. Sincerely, ~~ A.F.

"The spending levels left in place by the former government are, in our view, irresponsible. They are well beyond what Ontarians could reasonably expect and well beyond what our province can afford," Harris said. "Protecting the province's financial stability is the greatest single responsibility of any government," the Premier said. `The decisions we have made have not been easy, nor were they taken lightly. But they are necessary." Finance Minister Ernie Eves said an initial review of the Province's books showed that the deficit, including capital spending, was likely to hit $10.6 billion unless the new government took immediate action. In response, he outlined $1.9 billion in cuts across a range of programs, including capital spending on transit and roads, a freeze on grants to business, a reduction in social assistance rates, and the cancellation of other initiatives. With these measures, Eves said, the current outlook for the Province's deficit for 1995-96 is $8.7 billion. His figures take into account all government spending, including capital investments of $2.0 billion which the previous gavernment did not report as part of its deficit on a budget basis. As well, Eves said, an outlook presented by the previous government in April did not take into account economic weakness that is expected to reduce revenues. It also failed to provide for additional spending on such items as social assistance and the long-term care program. Eves today also announced independent audits of three financial arrangements the province has entered into: agreements relating to the sale of the assets of Ontario Bus Industries; the Ataratiri project, which aimed to build housing on former industrial land in Toronto; and arrangements for the financing of property leases on the Toronto Islands. -2- Next week, he added, he will set up the Ontario Financial Review Commission to provide advice on the Province's financial reporting practices. Eves said the actions outlined today were "unprecedented in their scope for a government which has been in office for less than four weeks." -30- Contact: Karin Dillabough Communications and Corporate Affairs Branch Ministry of Finance (416) 325 0333 Ce document, intitulrs Le gouvernement annonce des reductions des d~penses, des vdrifications et un examen des pracques financieres, est ~galement disponible en frangais. ~, News Release ®Ontario - Communique Ministry Minist~re of des Finance Finances FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 21, 1995 FINANCE MINISTER OUTLINES $1.9 BILLION IN SPENDING CUTS Toronto -Ontario Fnance Minister Ernie Eves today announced cuts to dozens of government programs and projects as part of a total package that will save $1.9 billion in the current fiscal year. In introducing Eves, Premier Mike Harris said the cuts are essential because his new government inherited a worse fiscal situation than expected. The Province will save $1.4 billion by cancelling or lowering funding for speafic programs and for capital projects, and $500 million by giving all ministries individual targets for cuts from current operating budgets. Specific capital measures will affect rapid transit and road projects. The municipal road budget will be cut by $74 million, the rapid transit budget in the Greater Toronto Area by $42 million, and provincial highway and other initiatives by $84 million. As well, the Province will reduce its contribution to the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Works program to match the federal contribution, saving $73 million. Other identified reductions, and their impact in 1995-96, include: • freezing business subsidy programs, as well as loans and guarantees, saving $71 million; • reducing social assistance rates, except for the disabled, their families, and the elderly, on average to 10 per cent above the average of the nine other provinces by October 1, saving $469 million; • ending relief for municipalities with high social-assistance caseloads, saving $30 million; • cancelling spending to convert private-sector child-care spaces to non-profit - a program that created no new spaces - to save $7 million; • cutting back funding for the Employment Equity and Advocacy Commissions, and for implementation of the Employment Equity Act in the civil service, saving a total of $18 million; • eliminating the Premier's Counal and the Royal Commission on Workers' Compensation, saving a total of $3 million; -2- • ending new commitments under JobsOntario Training, saving $86 million; • freezing the capital portion of JobsOntario Community Action, $18 million; • not going ahead with the Jumpstart program announced in the April Budget Plan, saving $60 million; • capping pay equity at $500 million a year, to be shared among organizations in the Ontario public service and broader public sector with pay equity agreements, saving $85 million. Eves said further savings would be achieved in 1995-96 because the new government has fewer ministers and ministries. As well, OHIP overpayments under current arrangements with Ontario doctors will be recovered. Many of the program cuts will yield greater savings in future as they are applied to a full year. For example, the changes to social assistance will save about a billion dollars in 1996-97. The government will also save $24 million by cancelling a commitment toward a planned Ballet-Opera House for Toronto. As well as these changes to specific programs, every ministry has been assigned a ^ savings target for permanent spending reductions in its operating budget. These cuts will total $500 million for 1995-96, Eves said. The permanent savings generated by the package of measures will be reflected in ministries' spending targets for future years, he added. -30- Contact: Karin Dillabough Communications and Corporate Affairs Branch Ministry of Finance (416) 325 0333 Ce document, intitul~ Le ministre des Finances annonce des reductions des d~penses de 1,9 milliard de dollars, est ~gatement dispon~ble en frangais. O Ontario News Release Communique Ministry Minist~re of des Finance Finances FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 21, 1995 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO EXAMINE GOVERNMENT DEALS Toronto -Ontario Finance Minister Ernie Eves today announced that independent experts will launch special "value-for-money" audits of certain financial transactions and projects undertaken by the Province. Audits will be carried out on: agreements relating to the sale of assets of Ontario Bus Industries, signed shortly before the provincial election was called; the Ataratiri project, which aimed to build housing on former industrial land in downtown Toronto; and ~ . arrangements for the finanang of property leases on the Toronto Islands. The Chair of Management Board, Dave Johnson, will oversee the reviews. Johnson will request proposals from independent accounting firms and present results before the end of September.

There can be no delay. However, these measures do not represent a complete fiscal plan. This fall I will present to the Legislature an Economic and Fiscal Statement for 1995-96. CONCLUSION The scope of the actions outlined in this statement is unprecedented for a government which has been in office for less than four weeks. The spending crisis our Government inherited means that no other course of action is possible. We are taking swift and decisive action to bring spending under control. There is more to do. There will be tough choices and difficult decisions to face. With the measures I am announcing today, it is clear our Government is prepared to face them. This is the road we must take if the people of Ontario are to prosper. 8 Ontario Financial Review Commission In the next few days I will setup the Ontario Financial Review Commission to help us review the financial reporting practices in the Budget, the Public Accounts, and the annual Estimates. The Commission will look at such issues as the consistency of our financial reporting. Does it make sense to have different accounting presentations for the Budget and the Public Accounts, as we do now? The Commission will also examine the business plans and proper financial reporting for Crown corporations. Special audits I am also directing that value-for-money audits of selected Government projects and agreements be undertaken. Ontarians should know about their Government's outstanding obligations. Where costs have risen, they should know why -and they should know that management practices are in place to prevent similar cost overruns in the future. These audits will review: • arrangements for the financing of property leases on the Toronto Islands the Province's agreements relating to the sale of the assets of Ontario Bus Industries, and the Ataratiri project, which was intended to build housing on former industrial land in downtown Toronto. The Chair of Management Board will request proposals from independent accounting firms to undertake these audits and report no later than the end of September. 7 D VVe will decide how to achieve the balance of the $500 million savin s g target over the next several months. Together the measures I am announcing today will reduce spending by $1.9 billion in 1995-96 compared with the outlook when our Government took office on June 26. . With these measures in place, the current outlook for the Province's deficit for 1995-96 is $8.7 billion. A REALISTIC AND WORKABLE PLAN The situation our Government inherited shows how essential it is to have a realistic and workable financial plan for the future. We are committed to open and accurate financial reporting that will allow the people of Ontario to see the full state of their government's finances. Let me cite some examples of the kind of improvements we believe are needed. The provincial Budget and the Public Accounts are reported on two different sets of accounting principles. The Provincial Auditor has signed the most recent Public Accounts, but has repeatedly commented on the way the Budget is presented. These different presentations create confusion. Some major capital projects are recorded separately in the Budget and yet are not included in the calculation of the Province's budgetary deficit. The Province's $337 million investment in Toronto's Ataratiri project was written off in the Public Accounts in 1993-94 -yet because of the two accounting systems, it will not be written off in the Budget until several years later. Ontarians have a right to clear, consistent and accurate financial information about their government. 6 The Royal Commission on Workers' Compensation will be eliminated, saving $1 million this year and next. The Premier s Council is being eliminated, saving $2 million this year and $4 million annually in future years. • Funding for pay equity will be capped at $500 million per year, to be shared among the Ontario Public Service and Broader Public Sector ' organizations that have entered or will enter into pay equity agreements in their workplaces. This measure will save $85 million in 1995-96. In total these measures will save $850 million in operating costs and $307 million in capital costs in 1995-96. In addition, each Minister has been assigned a target for further operating spending reductions in his or her ministry. These reductions will achieve $500 million in operating savings this year, and the savings will be made permanent in future years. Additional capital savings of $187 million will be achieved through project cancellations and spending freezes. To date we have decided on several measures to meet the $500 million ~ target: Pa ents to all social service a envies funded b the Ministr f Ym g Y Y o Community and Social Services will be reduced by 2.5 per cent, effective October 1, saving $44 million. The reduction will be 5 per cent in 1996-97. • Pa ents to boards of education will be reduced b $32 million Ym Y in 1995-96. This saving is to be achieved by reducing costs outside the classroom. • Payments to colleges will be reduced by $6.8 million, and to universities by $16.8 million. • The Niagara Tender Fruit Lands Program has been cancelled, saving $15 million over the coming decade. 5 ' transit in the Greater Toronto Area, $36 million for rovincial hi hw P g ays, $15 million for GO Transit and $33 million in other transportation initiatives. We will proceed with transit projects in a phased approach, beginning with the Sheppard subway line in Toronto. We are deferring the Eglinton West project until the Province and Metro Toronto have sufficient funding to proceed. • The Provincial contribution to the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Works program will be reduced to $287 million this year to match the federal government's contribution. This measure will save $73 million this year. • We are cancelling the former Government's multi-year commitments of $24 million towards a new or renovated ballet-opera house in Toronto and $29 million for ahigh-performance computing centre. • The JobsOntario Community Action program will not make any new commitments for community capital projects, pending a review of the program. This measure will save $18 million in 1995-96. • We are cancelling the Jumpstart program announced in April. This measure will save $60 million this year. We will continue to fund other youth employment programs with budgets totalling $185 million this year. • Funding for the Employment Equity Commission will be cut back pending the repeal of the Employment Equity Act. Planned additional funding to implement employment equity legislation within the Ontario Public Service will be eliminated. These measures will save $8 million this year. OHIP overpayments under current arrangements with doctors will be recovered. Funding for the Training for Workplace Innovation and Demonstration Projects programs will be eliminated, saving $16 million this year. ' Funding for the Advocacy Commission will be cut back pending the repeal of the Advocacy Act, saving $10 million this year. 4 in 1995-96 and $938 million in 1996-97. Recipients who work will be allowed to earn back the difference between the old and new rates. • Social assistance benefits for the support of seniors, persons with disabilities and their families will not be reduced. • New measures to tighten eligibility and reduce fraud will be introduced to ensure that welfare goes to those persons who are truly in need, saving up to $15 million this year. • The Province will end special relief for municipalities with high welfare caseloads. This will result in reduced transfers of $30 million this year. However, these will be more than offset by reduced municipal welfare costs. • We are cancelling spending for the conversion of private-sector childcare spaces into non-profit spaces, saving $7 million this year and $13 million next year. This program has cost taxpayers $52 million to date without creating a single new childcare space. In addition, as dollars become available, municipalities will now be able to allocate subsidized childcare spaces to private operators. We will also be examining the childcare system as a whole, including wage subsidies, to ensure that taxpayers' dollars are spent in the most effective way. We have placed a moratorium on the development of non-profit housing. The JobsOntario Training program is being cancelled. Effective immediately, no new financial commitments will be made. Commitments to participants currently in the program will be honoured. This measure will save $86 million in 1995-96 and another $40 million over the two following years. Effective October 1, the 14,000 childcare spaces created under JobsOntario Training will be funded by the Province and municipalities under the regular 80-20 cost-sharing formula. Rapid transit, roads, highways, and GO Transit projects will be deferred, saving $200 million this year. This includes a reduction of $74 million in the budget for municipal roads, $42 million for rapid 3 1 Budget Plan were overly optimistic. In fact, Ontario's real GDP declined in the first quarter of 1995. The slowdown of the U.S. economy hampered Ontario's export industries, and the impact of higher interest rates in 1994 has weakened consumer spending. As well, the former Government's plan assumed $100 million in new non-tax revenues from measures to be decided after the election. There are signs that economic growth will resume in the third and fourth quarters of this year. Housing activity has picked up, manufacturing is expanding once more, and interest rates are down from 1994. Yet we cannot realistically expect revenues to be as high as the former Government projected in April. The bottom line is that, if we do not act immediately, the Province's deficit this year will be $10.6 billion. This is unacceptable. CUTTING SPENDING Even in the face of a slower economy, governments must stop acting as though the problem is one of insufficient revenues. Based on the briefings I have received, I am convinced that our Government has inherited a severe spending problem. We are taking immediate action. • We have begun by putting our house in order. This Government has fewer ministers and fewer ministries than its predecessors. • All programs offering grants, loans or guarantees to business have been frozen. This measure will. save $71 million in 1995-96. This includes $5 million from the Ontario Network Infrastructure Program to support the telecommunications sector. It also includes $23 million from the Sector Partnership Fund, which is being phased out. Social assistance rates will be reduced by 21.6 per cent effective October 1, so that they are on average 10 per cent higher than the average of the other nine provinces. This measure will save $469 million 2 INTRODUCTION Today my colleagues and I, under Premier Harris' leadership, are taking major steps to bring Ontario's spending under control. The former Government left the province with a spending crisis which is just that: a spending crisis. The deficit outlook is significantly worse than the former Government indicated in April. Revenues are lower. And expenditures are much higher than the former Government indicated. Today we are taking swift and decisive action to cut government spending immediately. We are cancelling programs and projects we simply cannot afford. CURRENT OUTLOOK Since taking office on June 26, I have been briefed by staff of the Ministry of Finance on the outlook for Ontario's finances. Based on this initial review of the Province's books, it appears that, without further action, total spending this year would be. about $1.4 billion higher than in the former Government's April Budget Plan. The reason for this, in my opinion, is that the former Government did not take the tough decisions to keep spending under control. For example: Without the actions we are taking today, capital spending would be $344 million higher than budgeted for in April. Without the actions we are taking today, our social assistance costs this year would be $600 million higher than budgeted for in April. And some known expenses, like $63 million in additional costs for the long-term care program, were not included in the April Budget Plan at all. In addition, revenues this year will be about $1.4 billion lower than the former Government projected. Clearly the economy weakened earlier in 199. The economic assumptions underlying the previous Government's ONTARIO FISCAL OVERVIEW AND SPENDING CUTS Ernie Eves Minister of Finance July 21,1995 ® Ontario undermines the financial stabilit of this rovince. Y P Voters elected us to change the status quo, to put our problems behind us and get Ontario moving again. We asked for that job, we were given and we accept that responsibility. In a few moments, my colleague the Minister of Finance will detail the steps we are taking to put things right for the remaining eight months of this fiscal year. Some of these measures may not be welcomed by the special interests, but all will be understood by Ontario's taxpayers who recognise that government is living beyond its means. None of our decisions are easy or taken lightly. But, working together, and drawing on the strengths of this province, Ontario can and will live up to its potential -can and will build a better and a brighter future. Getting our finances in order is not an end in itself -only the start of the process of re-igniting our economy and restoring opportunity and hope to our province. We Ontarians are in this together. We must all share in the sacrifices if we are to share in the gains achieved by getting Ontario back on track. We must do what is difficult, but what is clearly right to do. Right to do in order to restore confidence in our economy and create jobs. Right to do in order to restore hope for those who are unemployed or on welfare. Right to do in order to provide opportunity for our children. Right to do in order to create the future we all want and restore the pride in our province. To give the details of today's announcement -the Minister of Finance, the Honourable Ernie Eves. As I travelled this province over the past several months, Ontarians have told me what they know in their hearts to be true: This province has been on the wrong track and it's time to do something about it. That concern was confirmed to us after the election, when Cabinet was given its first briefing on the state of the province's finances. This morning, we want to share that information with you. The fiscal situation is not good. In fact, it is critical. As you will soon hear from the Minister of Finance, the previous government left Ontario in far worse shape than their April economic statement indicated. We have learned that revenue projections in the NDP's April economic statement were inflated. Spending is far higher than what the former government published, and poorly accounted for. The combined effect of exaggerated revenue figures and uncontrolled expenditures means that, instead of reducing the deficit - as they said they had done -the former government has actually left Ontarians facing a deficit than last year's. The easy thing for a new government such as mine to do is to point to the mess we've inherited, to spend all our time for the first year pointing fingers and laying blame. What I want to do today is underscore that we got the message on June the 8th. The people of this province didn't send us here to wring our hands. They told us the status quo is unacceptable. Unacceptable to working men and women who struggle to make ends meet, while government squanders their hard-earned tax dollars. Unacceptable to,parents concerned about hope and opportunity for their children's future. Unacceptable to my government.

JUL 2 4199 11AUNICIPAUTY lJF CtARINGTON h1AYbR'S OFFICE METROPOLITAN TORONTO'S LANDFILL SITE SEARCH PLANNING PROCESS In December 1993, Metro sent out letters to all municipalities in Ontario inviting municipalities and landowners (in conjunction with municipalities) to become a potential willing host for a landfill as part of a solid waste management system for Metro. The deadline for submissions was March 15, 1994. The result of this request was that only one nominated site satisfied all of the requirements for a potential willing host site. This site is the Adams Mine site, located near Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Metro is currently undertaking technical and environmental studies related to the Adams Mine site to determine its suitability as a potential landfill site. Metro has also embarked on a Public Consultation process to receive input from the public on the site assessment process. Metro's willing host site search process and the results of the initial phases of the process are described in the following two documents: 1.

A. Bacopoulos, P ng. Director (Acting) - olid Waste Management Division UM/ag/kl/swm - MTLFSite.Pri EXECUTIVE SUMMARY -DOCUMENT I Metropolitan Toronto (Metro) is responsible for ensuring that a landfill site will be located prior to depletion of existing landfill .capacity at the Brock West and Keele Valley landfill sites. Given public opposition and court challenges to the limited site seazch of the Interim Waste Authority (IWA), Metro is pursuing a "Willing Host" landfill site selection process to supplement the IWA process in order to ensure that a greater range of landfill options aze considered and that sites with a higher degree of public acceptance aze examined. The process is intended to allow Metro to make an informed decision on the environmental and economic benefits of a preferred site while at the same time pursuing a process that includes greater social acceptability. The site selection process carried out in conjunction with, and complimentary to, the IWA process will ensure the acceptance of a preferred site which has emerged through a broader site search process. In order for Metro to site and establish a landfill site, it must extend the site seazch beyond its boundaries. The IWA is already carrying out a systematic site search in Metro and the Region of York for Metro/York Region waste. Metro proposes to consider the IWA's work as its systematic site seazch and to supplement this process with a "Willing Host" site seazch in the balance of the Province of Ontario, thereby permitting a comparison of the preferred "Willing Host" site to the IWA systematic preferred site. In order that nominated sites be carried forwazd in the Metro "Willing Host" landfill site selection process, they must satisfy the three requirements set out in Metro's definition of a willing host: a willing jurisdiction responsible for waste, if different from the local municipal council; a willing local municipal council; and, a willing landowner (may be either a municipality or private landowner). Nominated willing host sites must satisfy the IWA criteria related to agriculture, biology, geology/hydrogeology, land use, social, surface water and boundary criteria to ensure that they are environmentally sound. A key requirement of Metro's landfill site seazch is public consultation. To this end, Metro is prepared to carry out or assist the local municipality with a public participation program. The aim of this program will be to solicit local input on various issues associated with the siting of a landfill (e.g. potential impacts, mitigation measures, compensation). This report documents the planning process intended to be carried out by Metro in its seazch for along-term landfill to meet the waste disposal requirements of Metro and York Region fora 20-year planning period (i.e., 1996 to 2015). This information will be utilized in the development of the component phases of an Environmental Assessment (E.A.) document which addresses the requirements of the E.A. Act. In this regazd, documentation. is provided with respect to the following: need and rationale for the undertaking; types and quantities of solid waste generated in the Metropolitan study area; forecast of residential and Industrial, Commercial and Institutional waste requiring management over the 20-yeaz planning period; description of the landfill site selection process; screening criteria to be used in the site selection process; and description of preliminary communications and community involvement programs. This information will provide the basis for developing the Metro landfill site search program. This document will be updated as new and/or revised data become available. EXECUTIVE SU1ViMARY -DOCUMENT II This report documents the findings of the first three phases of the Metropolitan Toronto (Metro) landfill site selection process. it presents the methodology and results of the application of specific screening criteria ~to sites identified as potential willing host sites throughout the Province of Ontario. The intent of the Metro landfill site search process is to identify municipalities and/or landowners throughout the Province who are prepared to offer lands for a Metro/York Region landfill facility. For a nominated site to be considered, it was necessary that the municipality and/or private landowners, in conjunction with a willing municipality, submit a letter of interest by March 15, 1994, which included, for each candidate site nominated, the following information: (1) evidence that the nominated site had a minimum azea of 230 hectares (570 acres) or otherwise be capable of handling 39.2 million tonnes of solid waste (i.e., waste to be managed over the planning period from 1996 to 2015); (2) evidence that the local council and the jurisdiction responsible for solid waste management supported commencement of Environmental Assessment (E.A.) studies; and (3) evidence that the site met the technical screening criteria provided by Metro (i.e., similaz to I.W.A. Steps 1, 2 and 3 screening criteria). With respect to nominated site(s) located in unorganized territories or in areas without municipal organization, a resolution from at least one neighbouring municipality, stating it was prepazed to endorse. the commencement of E.A. studies, was required in order for the nominated site(s) to be brought forward for further consideration. The only site submitted to Metro that met the willing host criterion was the Adams N!me Site, located in northern Ontario, in the District of Timiskaming, south of the Town of Kirkland Lake. The letter of interest received from the private landowner was supported by council resolutions from four neighbouring municipalities indicating that they were supportive of the proposal to initiate E.A. studies at the nominated site to evaluate its potential for landfill development. Phase 3 of the willing host landfill site selection process requires that Metro verify the application of the I.W.A. Steps 1, 2 and 3 screening criteria to the nominated site carried forward from Phases 1 and 2. The intent of the screening process is to identify lands, within the offered site, that would meet the same suitability criteria for siting landfills as was used by the I.W.A. Some of the lands on the site may be determined to be unsuitable for landfill development (i.e., constrained). This, however, does not preclude this site from being considered further should the remaining lands be of sufficient size to provide the required landfill capacity of 39.2 million tonnes. The I.W.A. Steps 1, 2, and 3 screening criteria consist of five criteria groups; namely, Agriculture, Biology, Geology/Hydrogeology, Land Use and Social, and Surface Water. As defined by the I.W.A., these criteria: • identify "least suitable areas" using guidance provided by legislation, government policies and guidelines, as well as the study team's experience in landfill site selection; and, ~; can be applied by using regional .scale published data sources without requiring ~r fieldwork. The intent of the Metro review is to identify the potential for landfill development at the Adams Mine Site through the application, in sequential phases, of the I.W.A. screening criteria. The results of the application of I.W.A. criteria is documented in this report. Following application of the I.W.A. Steps 1 to 3 screening criteria, the azea of the Adams Mine Site available for landfill purposes was determined. The unconstrained azea exceeds the minimum size requirement of 230 hectares and/or 39.2 million tonnes. Since the Adams Mine Site meets the three requirements set out in the request for willing hosts (i.e., minimum size requirements, local council support and I.W.A. Steps 1 to 3 screening), it can be carried forwazd directly into Phase 5 of the landfill site selection process. Phase 4 work will not be necessary since only one site satisfied all three requirements of Metro's "Willing Host" landfill site search. t COUNCIL INFORMATION THE PARTICIPATION HOUSE PROJECT .._ 1 (Durham Region) „ A~' 500 Wentworth St. E., Suite #3 Oshawa, Ontario L1H 3V9 (9u5) 579-5267 (905)579-5281 (FAX) 20 July, 1995. ~~ ,.,,~ ~` Ms. Diane Hamre, Mayor, Municipality of Town of Clarington, 40 Temperance St., BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO.

These revisions included deferring the Ghod's lands plus the final alignments of Streets A and F, and allowing some retail space at grade for the Markborough development. 2) Removing the "Holding" designation on the zoning of the Willsonia lands. 3) Revisions to zoning by-laws 94-16 and 94-19 4) Markborough now being satisfied to deal only with the Municipality of Clarington for . _6_ r its site plan. The Board therefore orders that its site plan appeal is dismissed. The Board accepted the proposed Draft Order of the Municipality which shall be ' issued forthwith. The Board so orders. A further Draft Order will be forthcoming from the Municipality regarding by-laws 94-16 and 94-19. It may well be that further Draft Orders will be forthcoming especially regarding the Ghod's development without the necessity of incurring more hearing time. The Board may be spoken to if problems arise. J.R.

R . E . Stenson Project Officer/Assessment Specialist Wastes & Impacts Division Directorate of Fuel Cycle and Materials Regulation Atomic Energy Control Board Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5S9 Subject: Request for evaluation of hazards associated with Thorium 230 and Lead 210 in historic low-level radioactive waste at Port Granby. Dear Mr. Stenson: The Final Draft Report: Chemical/Geochemical Testing of Low-Level of Radioactive Waste STF Tech. Bib. No. 408, of April, 1995 reports data on chemical and radioactive content of waste samples of waste taken from Port Granby. Data reported in Table 2.6 (copy attached) of the above report indicates that Thorium 230 is present at three to five times the concentration of radium 226 in terms of Bq/gram; also, that Lead 210 is present in quantities one to three times the concentration of Radium 226. This is the first time that these radionuclides have been confirmed to be present in the waste. We would appreciate an evaluation by the AECB of the significance of these radionuclides in terms of uptake during the process of excavating the waste by potentially exposed workers and local residents. Does the AECB consider the number of samples analyzed to be adequate in terms of determining the distribution of these radionuclides in the radioactive waste and the sub-soils under the site? In view of the advanced stages of the current Siting Task Force process we would appreciate a quick response.

Dear Mark, 67 1-Iillsdale Ave. West Toronto, Ont. MSP1E9 June 5, 1995 The Department of Museum Volunteers' Rombus tour, "Gone but not Forgotten", is just a memory now, but we have not forgotten how much we owe you for making it such a success. We wish that there had been more time for questions after your slide presentation at the Planetarium. Your explanations, comments, wit and humour, as well as your vast knowledge on all things funerary, impressed us all. We greatly enjoyed meeting you. We also want you to know how much we appreciated your informative explanations at the Necropolis. It was an awkward situation that was, unfortunately, unavoidable. However, you saved the day for us and our participants were unanimous in their appreciation. .Several of our guests expressed a wish for us to do another tour which centers around your museum, so we very much look forward to having contact with you again in the near future. You had expressed an interest in the funeral announcement• cards printed at Mackenzie I~ouse. I was given a number of extras and am enclosing them with this letter. I hope that you will -find a use for them in your museum and presentations. Again, our personal thanks for really carrying the day for us.

Like the first agreement of September 1992, it offers preferred rates on Canada Post commercial products and services. The new postal program, available only to FCM members, adds to the original plan by offering savings from 30 to 49 per cent in Courier and Unaddressed Admail, including the new service called Xpresspost which covers parcels and documents. The agreement is in effect until June, 1996. The original program served more than 240 active users. Any FCM member with a customer number can continue to use the extended program right away without signing an individual agreement with Canada Post. Those who are not yet customers are asked to fill in the attached form and fax it back to FCM. The new customer will promptly receive a starter kit with information and documents needed to access the services. "This is really good news for FCM," Mayor Les commented. "Not only does it potentially save our members money, but it is a testimonial to the usefulness of our earliest Corporate Services partnership. These arrangements are proving of value to both supplier and customer." Priority Courier provides next business morning delivery between major Canadian centres. With computerized tracking from pick-up to delivery, there is a meaningful guarantee of on-time delivery, or money back. Items can be dropped off at any one of 7,500 postal outlets across the country, or be picked up. Xpresspost is offered as "faster than mail, cheaper than courier". Next business day delivery locally, and within two business days between major Canadian centres, is guaranteed. A national toll-free number is available to confirm delivery. Up to 49 per cent savings are available on Unaddressed Admail. Coverage may be as small as one postal walk -about 400 addresses. It reaches every house, apartment and business in the area. .../2 Page two To give FCM an indication of the volume of business generated under the new ~ agreement, all FCM customers, established and potential, are asked to complete the attached form and fax it back to FCM Corporate Services at (613) 241-7117. To learn more about the Program and other postal benefits, please contact your local CPC sales representative or call FCM's Corporate Services Department at 613-241- 5221.

Godin Director, Carrier Compliance & Liaison Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunicatio>zs Commission, Ottawa, Ontario, KlA ON2 Dear Mr. Godin: The following information is provided in response to your letter dated 15 June 1995 regarding a letter you received from Ms. Barbara Kapteyn on behalf of Solina Women's Institute, concerning a request for -the Hampton exchange to have Extended-Area Service (EAS) with the following exchanges: Blackstock, Orono, Newcastle, Newtonville, Port Perry and Brooklin. We explained that in order for one exchange to have EAS with another, the following criteria must be met: - at least 60~ of subscribers in one exchange must call the other exchange at least once a month in any two months of a consecutive twelve month period, or Community of Interest (COI); - The distance between the main switching office in each exchange is no more than 40 miles; - over 50~ of subscribers whose basic local rates would be increased approve of the new service. We explained that the COI criterion between Hampton and the other exchanges has not been met. Following is the most recent data: - 2 - Originating Exchange Terminating Exchange COI Hampton Blackstock 19% " Orono 27% " Newcastle 21% " Newtoriville 7% " Port Perry 22% " Brooklin 19% In view of the above, the Company is not in a position to provide EAS at this time. Yours very truly, 2, Director - Regulatory Matters Canadian Radio-television and Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des "~ Telecommunications Commission telecommunications canadiennes Ottawa, Ontario K1A ON2 Ottawa, Ontario K1A ON2 4 August 1995 Ms. Barbara Kapteyn 6168 Solina Rd. RR1 Hampton, ON LOB 1 JO Ref. No.: 950612TC250 Dear Ms. Kapteyn: This is further to my letter of 15 June 1995 concerning the Solina Women's Institute's resolution requesting that the 263 exchange include Blackstone, Orono, Newcastle, Newtonville, Port Perry and Brooklin exchanges. The company has now provided me with a report on the extension of your local calling area, a copy of which is enclosed for your information. As you will note, the Community of Interest (COI) between the exchanges in question falls short of the required 60%. Consequently, the company may not establish a link between Hampton and any of the seven (7) exchanges for the time being. The regime, whereby toll free calling provided between exchanges where long distance charges would otherwise apply, is referred to as Extended Area Service or EAS. On 29 September 1988, having recognized the increasing demand by subscribers for a larger local calling area, the Commission modified the EAS qualifying criteria established in 1980 which must be applied uniformly throughout Bell's territory (Decision 88-15 enclosed): (1) at least 60% of subscribers in one exchange must call the other exchange at least once a month; (2) the distance between the exchanges' rate centres (normally the main switching centre in an exchange) must not exceed 40 miles; and (3) a majority (51 %) of subscribers whose basic local rates would be increased must approve of the new service. ../2 Canada E ~ z. Adoption of EAS by subscribers in an exchange generally results in a local rate increase because it increases the exchange's telephone number count. However, the additional revenues generated by such local rate increases are generally not adequate to cover the full costs of providing EAS. In assessing the appropriateness of Bell's EAS criteria, the Commission examined and attempted to reconcile several important, and often conflicting, considerations. Moreover, the Commission has been cognizant of the fact that any determination as to who shall and who shall not be eligible for EAS must, by its very nature, leave some subscribers dissatisfied. Regardless of the particular criteria established, some subscribers will receive EAS, while others will narrowly miss receiving it or, not have access to some preferred exchanges. In considering Bell's application, the Commission remained mindful of its duty under the Telecommunications Act to ensure that the rates do not discriminate unjustly and that no one is granted an undue or unreasonable preference or advantage. In the Commission's view, it has a responsibility to ensure that any EAS criteria established can be applied uniformly throughout the company's operating territory. The Commission cannot establish criteria that will permit exceptions for particular communities merely on the basis of strong vocal pressure within those communities. The Commission feels that the COI represents a measure of the social and commercial ties between subscribers in two exchanges. In the Commission's view, a very substantial social and commercial dependency, and thus a strong COI, must be demonstrated in order to protect the interest of the general body of EAS subscribers whose local rates may ultimately be affected by further extension of EAS. Potential links that are presently excluded on the basis of this criterion will qualify in future if social ties between the exchanges, as reflected in calling patterns, increase to the requisite level. I trust you find this information useful and thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Yours s' cerely, Paul M.

L~~ l~IIdNICIPALITY OF CLARINp~1~'~ !~I>i'S"OFFICE'" AGEi~DA Attention: Mayor Diane Hamre and Members of Council; On June 20, 1995 the Government of Canada introduced Bill 101, the Canada Transportation Act and in doing so began the move toward a new and speedier process for the abandonment of rail services across this country. Assuming that the bill is not subject to major amendment and is passed by Parliament sometime this fall, a number of communities in Ontario and Quebec will be faced with the prospect of immediately having only two months to find someone to buy the rail line that serves them and the local industry. The new Act, which replaces the National Transportation Act, 1987, will require that rail companies "prepare and kcep up to date a plan indicating, for each of its railway lines whether it intends to continue to operate the line or whether, within the nett three years, it intends to sell, lease, or otherwise transfer the line ... or to takes steps to discontinue operating the line." Once the railway company has prepared the plan, they will then advertise the availability of the specific lines they no longer want, and prospective buyers have sixty days "to make their interest known in writing to the company." There is nothing in the new Act that would require a railway company who has published their three year plan to wait any period of time before beginning the process to dispose of those lines that it has identified as surplus. While the potential is there for the railway company to immediately begin the process for all of their `surplus' lines, it is more than likely that they will stage the abandoments over three years. 2 lain Angus and Associates It is conceivable, however, that in January of 1996 a number of communities will find that the rail line that serves their community is one of the lines scheduled for abandonment. They will then have two months to determine if the line could be viable as a short line, seek out. a prospective buyer, and have them make their interest known to the railway company. Depending on the length of the rail line and the number of communities and industries served it could take anywhere between two and four weeks to make a realistic assessment of the potential viability of the line. Add to that the time needed by a municipality or a group of municipalities to determine the appropriateness of their pursuit of the matter and you can begin to appreciate how short two months becomes. A community or industry that finds itself about to lose it's rail line would have to recognize the following steps must be adhered to: • determine if there is any community interest in retaining the line (including bringing together a number of communities and businesses) • advertise for and select an appropriate firm to assess the potential viability of the line • wait the two to four weeks for the report to be prepared and submitted for consideration • seek out a potential buyer if the line is found to be attractive • the potential buyer makes the decision to put in an offer. It will be extremely difficult for any community to be able to adequately complete the above process if no action is taken until the abandonment notice has been placed in the local paper. Add to that the reality that there will likely be a number of communities who will be seeking a short line buyer at the same time, and that there are few short line companies who would be interested in acquiring a number of lines in a short period of time. The firm of lain Angus and Associates offers a team of transportation specialists who can work with your community and industry well in advance of the passage of the legislation to identify the importance of your rail line, particularly as it relates to the economic viability of your community. We specifically propose that you engage the firm to conduct an initial assessment of the importance of the rail line to your community. That assessment will be the basis for a decision by your community as to what steps to take in the event that the railway company does place the line in a surplus position. Part of our role would be to bring interested parties, both public and private together to develop an overall strategy to deal with the future of the line, where appropriate, identify potential purchasers of 3 Iain Angus and Associates the line and to establish a marketing strategy to ensure that a buyer is found. The cost for this phase is estimated to be between $10,000 and 515,000 per community. However, specific quotes will be made available on request and will depend on the length of the line, the number of potential participants and its geographic location. Should you wish to discuss the matter further please contact the undersigned. Yours truly ," . _ ;.

Hams, ~~,~ ~ N a~ Premier of the Province of Ontario Room 281, Legislative Building, Queen's Pazk, Toronto, Ontario M7A IA1 Deaz Mr. Premier, Please accept my sincere congratulations on your recent election victory as Premier of Ontario. I am encouraged by the fact that your government is ambitiously reviewing and implementing many of the promises which were made during the election within the "Common Sense Revolution" document. I understand the Provincial Government's conviction on wanting to follow through quickly on these initiatives. While the Tov<m of Aurora continues to also address immediate issues and priorities, we aze now starting to look at our planning and priority exercise relative to the 1996 budget process. We are very concerned about the ramifications of the ending of the Social Contract guidelines as of March 31, 1996. We aze particularly sensitive to the fact that if there is not a logical and orderly phasing out or transitional plan in place as we come out of the Social Contract, there may be significant public sector gridlock as of April 1, 1996. It is essential that the Provincial Government provide leadership in coordinating a process to explore and implement a transitional plan which will allow all of the 800+ municipalities in the Province to deal with the ending of the Social Contract using a logical, fair and uniform approach. I would respectively suggest that formal consultations with your municipal partners begin immediately so that the next eight months can be used as productively as possible. I know that the Town of Aurora would be very plCaseu to participate and add value to such a process, so that an orderly transition out of the Social Contract on April 1, 1996 can be accomplished. Your assistanc dership in beginning this formal process now would be greatly appreciated. Yours very rely, i...~-i:: - ;;> f L~ ~ ~ f,.I'~' l ` : t'~6 1 r. ~ ~ { l ~ ~. f_ f t 1~ ~...r-.~.~...-.-' .

I know that you have some significant challenges ahead of you which will require some difficult decisions. As you are aware, one of the issues which was the source of conflict between municipalities and the former government was the imposition of supplementary assessment fees. Fortunately, your Government has made a commitment to rectify this situation in the immediate future. For your information, the Town of Aurora budgeted an estimated $40,000 to deal with these fees in 1995. Given our activity to date, it appears as if we will be over this budgeted figure. The Town of Aurora was able to deliver a 0% mill rate increase in 1995, despite all of our financial pressures, including the Social Contract challenges. Although $40,000 might seem like an insignificant amount of money from a Provincial perspective, unpredictable and uncontrollable expenses such as the Supplementary Assessment fees are very difficult to deal with because we have little or no room to manoeuvre within our constrained funding envelopes. Your assistance in dealing with the elimination of the supplementary assessment fee imposition in the immediate future would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps a perfect opportunity for you and/or the Minister of Municipal Affairs, The Honourable Alan Leach to make such an announcement would be at the upcoming Association of Municipalities of Ontario Conference in August at the Royal York Hotel. I look fontiard to your positive intervention in this matter. If you require any additional information, please contact me at your convenience. Yours very truly, --/\ T'm Jones or of Aurora p.c.

The following are some of our observations: Assessment ~ ~„ I;1 British Columbia, the assessment system :~s both effective and respected, with few appeals. The system contains mechanisms to streamli'ae the annual updating of values ;tnd to limit volatility caused by rapid market swings.

At the same time,. it is clear that Ontario and British Columbia have very different traditions of platutirtg and locaUregional government. The voluntary consensual approach embodied in the GVRD• stna:ture would be a major departure from Ontax~Io's more hierarchical system, which has histori::ally operated Wrote vertically with each tier requiring approval from the one above. Ontario's system does not preclude cooperation, as shown by ongo.'i.ng consensus-building and coordination istitiatives of the GTA Mayors and Chairs Committee and the Greater Toronto Coordinating ~'ommittee. Economic Development and Campetitiven~~s ~.ccording to major U.S, location firms, the absence of a central proactive m~.rketing body for the GTA is our single greatest weakness in "selling" the region internatia~ally. We have an excellent product - a dynamic, diverse and liveable metropolis, described Icy one fuze as "North America's mast liveable international city." I:n their view, relocation to the GTA is hindered by a number of factors including: Lack of financial and other relocation incentives; over-regulation and high taxation; the cyst of electric power which particularly impacts m~inufacturing; and cross border irc;,tations caused by different terminology, statistics, measurement systems, etc. The primary obstacle, however, is our inability to tell our story. >~or those considering relocation, there are simply too many local players, making the process extremely confusing.

'~ CSDA ,,.~. ~'~ The Refillable Quota Regulations. ACIBG Background In Ontario today, a regulation exists that requires the soft drink industry to sell 30% of all soft drinks by volume in refillable glass containers. This is unique packaging legislation which singles out the soft drink industry from all other beverage and grocery product packaging. Since 1987 the soft drink industry has conununicated its difficulties with this regulation and has spent much time in meetings with government officials. As a result, the regulations have served to divert attention and resources from much more important environ-nental matters. In fact, we believe the refillable quota regulations and their enforcement are damaging to the environment for the following reasons: (i). Negative impact on Solid Waste Diversion Ontario's refillable quota regulations address only 30% of less than 1% of municipal solid waste in Ontario. Compliance with the 30% refillable quota regulations would actually produce more soft drink container waste than occurs under the current Blue Box recycling program. As a result, these refillable quota regulations are inconsistent with Government of Ontario positions taken with respect to solid waste diversion, and the National Packaging Protocol (NAPP). (ii). Negative Impact on Energy Usage Refillable glass containers use up to twice the amount of energy consumed by recyclable containers. As a result, the regulations are inconsistent with Government of Ontario positions taken with respect to greenhouse gas reduction. (iii). Consumers buy Recyc/ables Despite considerable efforts by the soft drinl: industry to promote refillables, including advertising campaigns and incentive pricing, consumers in Ontario, as in all of North America, buy convenient lightweight packaging that can be easily recycled. Consumers choose to buy 98% of their soft drinks, by volume, in recyclable containers despite the widespread availability of refillable containers. As consumers are rightfully provided a choice as to what they can buy in Ontario, it is impossible for the soft drink industry to comply with the refillable quota regulations. (iv). Diverfs scarce resources from other priorities Continued monitoring/enforcement and policy development of the refillable quota diverts valuable resources from meaningful enviroiunental protection. In 1985, municipal and IC&I (Industrial, Conuncrcial and Institutional) source separation was embryonic and not supported by the 3Rs regulations. Refillable quota regulations were gazetted in 1985 when no other residential recovery systems were widely available. In fact, they were introduced, in part, as a stimulus to the establishment of the Blue Box system's infrastructure. Now that the Blue Box program have proved so successful, the refillable quota regulations are redundant. ../2 CSDA/ACIBG The Refillable Quota Regulations 2 of 8 The Evidence The evidence to support the assertions outlined above is as follows: (i) Negative impacts on Solid Waste Diversion Refillable glass soft drink packaging systems generate more solid waste requiring disposal to landfill (by weight and by volume) than the Blue Box-based recycling system currently in place. This was a key finding in a study conducted by Professor Michael Hare, Professor of Economics , University of Toronto in June 1991. Hare found that the conventional hierarchy of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle may not always result in the greatest diversion of soft drink container waste away from landfill. Hare pointed out that the successful recycling of soft drink containers through the Blue Box curbside system was an effective waste diversion practice. Hare identified that there are significant ancillary benefits to multi-material recycling . He noted that for each tonne of soft drink containers recovered through the Blue Box , 30 tonnes of other materials are diverted. Looking back to 1985 Hare noted that the industry disposed of approximately 70,000 tonnes of solid waste. If the soft drink industry had done nothing to reduce its generation rates of waste, this amount would have climbed to 87,000 tonnes by 1991. In fact, in 1991 the soft drink industry only disposed of 59,000 tonnes ,even though soft drink sales volumes increased 24% over the period. The reason for the decreases were: • waste reduction initiatives; and, • improving recovery rates for recyclable soft drink containers. Hare examined how lost, discarded, broken acid otherwise disposed of refillable glass containers perform versus recycling non-refillable packages. Based on historical return- rates and float replacement, he assumed 5% of 750 ml. refillables would be lost from the system. He found that • refillable glass bottles discarded , at even these low rates, would generate 48 kilograms of final waste / 1000 L. product compared to recyclable cans which would generate 41 kg/1000 L. and PET (plastic) bottles which would generate 20 kg/1000 L.

As the table and chart below indicate ,for 2 Litre PET , 500 ml steel and aluminum cans, reductions of 24% - 27% have been achieved. 280/355 ML gm 280/355 ML. 9m 2 L. gm 1979 22 46 68 .1982 20 40 65 1988 18.5 38 62 1991 16.4 32 58 1993 16 32 54 1995 16 32 52 In addition, the switch from glass to lighter PET plastic for single serve containers reduced packaging weight by 90% and the switch from steel to aluminum cans saved over 50% in weight.

Ontario diverts many more materials than any other province. This is demonstrated in CSDA's 1994 Packaging Stewardship Annual Report. Recovery of soft drink containers will continue to grow: • as the Blue Box system expands • as greater recovery is achieved from the IC&I sector as a result of government's regulations • with the high intrinsic value of soft drink materials such as aluminum and PET. The Blue Box system has significant solid waste diversion benefits beyond carbonated soft drink containers. Consider the following: • For every tonne of soft drink containers diverted, programs recover at least 30 tonnes of other packaging and fibre materials. • Participation rates exceed over 85%. • The Quinte 2000 program demonstrated that over 16 different material types can be collected effectively through the Blue Box program. This result has now been replicated in other municipalities. • Many types of packaging material need to be recovered under multi-material programs if the _ NAPP waste packaging reduction target is to be met. The government of Ontario has an objective in place to divert 50% of solid waste going to landfill by the year 2000 from a base year of 1987. The Ontario government is also a signatory to the National Packaging Protocol. It is therefore inconsistent for the government to advocate the use of refillable glass soft drink bottles from a solid waste and packaging diversion perspective. (ii) The Negative Impacts on Energy Usage The perception that refillable glass containers are a superior environmental package is incorrect. The environmental impacts in transporting heavy glass bottles and the chemicals used in the washing of bottles prior to refilling are often overlooked. These factors combined with significant reductions in the weight of soft drink containers and high capture rates of used containers in the Blue Box program have negated the environmental benefit of the glass refillable. A report issued in 1992 by First Consulting at~d peer reviewed by Franklin Associates, examined the energy profiles of raw material usage and manufacturing, secondary packaging, wash and fill, and distribution (including transportation and „~aste management). They found that refillable glass containers use up to twice the energy consumed by recyclable containers for every 1,000 litres of product sold. This is due to such factors as: • glass refillable bottles use S times as much water in the washing and sterilizing processes as for recyclable containers which are rinsed. Higher water temperatures needed to wash refillables also consume more energy. • the use of caustic chemicals in the cleaning of glass refillables requires special ei~luent r treatment. • glass refillable bottles are 40 times heavier than the equivalent volume in PET or aluminum containers, resulting in greater fuel usage. CSDA/ACIBG The Refillable Quota Regulations 6 of 8 • additional transportation requirements add to air pollution and low level ozone depletion Number of Trucks required to ship glass refillables vs same volume in aluminum cans Aluminum ~ Cans Reflllables 3.25 0 1 2 3 4 Summary of First Consultants Findings This chart shows the energy profiles for the most conunon soft drink containers at typical rates of recovery. • Energy Usage at Typical Recovery Rates 8 8.5 8 sil~r: ,: €:r,„ ~:; is ~: ~ze~~I ~;~l:.isi:: ~= i 6i i . „iy ii ii - ~ ,~ ~; ~ w r 7.4 zr ~ ~ ,~9 rs u r 8 d ~ ~ ~ijli "i , i4 ~si v 5 ~ 1~ , c 4 a o ~ ~ ~ 4.3 C "i~ '~~ iaii ? a ` w ii~ ~ ~~R, ~: ~ 9 ~ u • ~ 3 i;~i io, ~;.~y h i r ir ;r o D o ° C ~ x ry~~ 4hPii o (O .V. 2 it w' Uul J k hi ,.~ y ,a; ~ ,~i ca ~ -i ~ 4 is ~i ~ ' is i r s. G rr ,iir,. , Glass 750 Aluminum 2 L. PET ml. Cans ReSllables As shown above, refillable glass containers use up to twice the amount of energy as consumed by recyclable containers. Therefore it is inconsistent for the govenunent to advocate the use of refillable glass soft drink bottles as more energy is consumed producing more CO2. This flies in the face of the Canadian government conunitment at the 1992 Rio Suttunit to stabilize greenhouse gases by the year 2000 at 1990 levels. CSDA/ACIBG The Refillable Quota Regulations 7 of 8 (iii) Refillable Quota Regulations are Impractical. Consumers buy Recyclab/es Under the current refillable quota regulations there is no provision requiring consumers to purchase 30 per cent of their soft drinks (by volume) in refillable containers. Despite the fact that most major retailers offer soft drinks in glass refillable containers, consumers purchase less than two per cent of their soft drinks, by volume, in them. ~ .. Consider the following: ' • ,The quota regulation requires the soft drink industry to sell product in refillables but they do not require: 0 retailers to stock or price them attractively, or 0 consumers to buy them • There are no similar quota requirements for the sale of any other product by any other industry in Ontario. • Packaging materials should be treated equally without regard to their product contents (i.e. for the Blue Box or landfill, a can is a can) • Demand for refillables by the public is less than 2%. There are a number of significant reasons for this: 0 Most Ontario consumers buy soft drinks in aluminum cans or PET containers because they can be conveniently recycled through the Province's Blue Box program rather than having to bring them back to a retail outlet. 0 Most parents prefer that beverages for their children are contained in non-glass packages. They are concerned about safety and the potential for their children being injured from glass. 0 Most seniors prefer the light-weight aluminum/ steel cans of PET containers over refillable glass bottles. They find the refillables too heavy and are concerned about dropping them and being cut by flying glass -especially from carbonated beverage containers that are under pressure. (iv) Refillable quota regulations divert valuable resources from real environmental priorities Continued monitoring/enforcement and policy development of the refillable quota diverts valuable government resources from meaningful environmental protection With priorities such as air quality, GTA landfill siting, providing safe/clean water, and minimizing other environmental risks to public health, the importa~~ce of utilizing scarce resources on the refillable quota regulation must be questioned. It would seem resources spent on hazardous waste and toxics management would provide much better value for the taxpayers dollar. Conclusion The soft drink industry believes Ontario's refillable quota regulations and their enforcement are damaging to die environment because they negatively impact both solid ~~~aste diversion and energy usage, run counter to consumer purchasing preferences, and divert scarce resources from other environmental priorities. The soft drink industry therefore advocates the repeal of Ontario's refillable quota regulations. CSDA/ACIBG The Refillable Quota Regulations ~ 8 of 8 Appendix A Environmental Accomplishments by the Soft Drink Industry The soft drink industry has already surpassed the NAPP targets.(i.e. we have substantially reduced waste from soft drink packaging, exceeding the SO% reduction target for the year 2000). Our 1985 packaging waste (bottles and cans) amounted to 74,000 tonnes. If nothing had been done to lightweight or recover soft drink packaging, soft druilc packaging waste in-1994 (based on our 1985 packaging types and mix) would have amounted to 109,100 tonnes. Actual packaging waste in 1994 amounted to 31,900 tonnes. This represents a 57% decrease over 1985 actual and 71% from projected 1985 packaging levels. The Blue Box Program 1. In 1986, soft drink industry members were responsible for the founding of Ontario Multi- Material Recycling Inc. (OMMRI). To date, soft drink industry members have spent more than $33 million to help build Ontario's recycling infrastructure. 2. We are the only industry to provide operating grant, "top up" funding ($56.50 per tonne) to municipalities to cover the difference between revenues received from the sale of containers and the cost of their collection 3. In March 1994, the industry switched to aluminum for producing cans which provides revenue for municipalities greater than the costs to recover our containers; thus the top up grant is currently phased to zero. Reuse of packaging materials: The industry reuses virtually all of the secondary (cases) and tertiary (pallets) packaging used to transport soft drinks to stores and to food service outlets for fountain sales . • wooden shipping pallets are designed to be reused over 120 times in their estimated 5-9 year lifespan • cardboard box use was examined and.where economically feasible replaced with reusable plastic trays and shells which can be reused hundreds and hundreds of times. • syrup tanks used for fountain sales are reused thousands of times • recycled content of 50%+ in aluminum cans and 35-50% regrind in plastic trays and shells.

The new stickering program for adult sex videos has been introduced by. the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations as part of a comprehensive enforcement strategy. It is expected that the new stickers will assist ministry enforcement officers in identifying adult sex videos that have not been approved by the Ontario Film Review Board. -The stickers will-also allow enforcement officers to trace any unapproved videos back to their source: the distributor or retailer responsible for shelving the cassette. As of July 1, 1995 the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations all new adult sex videos that have been approved by the Ontario Film Review Board must be stickered with atamper-proof sticker. In addition, by August 1, 1995, all adult sex video inventory in retailers' stores must be stickered with a similar sticker. These stickers are described below. The new regulation under the Theatres Act sets out the following requirements with respect to stickering: The sticker for all new adult sex videos bears the distributor's licence number, the words "ADULT SEX FILM" in black letters, a serial number, and a symbol in the shape of a diamond in purple on a white background. The sticker for all current adult sex video inventory bears a serial number, the words "ADULT SEX FILM" in black letters, and a symbol in the shape of a diamond in red on a white background with a red border. ..... /2. ~p~,~~, Notice to City Clerks August 17, 1995 Page 2 • Both types of stickers contain a number of built-in security features to prevent unauthorized duplication or relocation of the stickers including: - an artificial watermark (diamond shape) printed in white ink that can only be viewed at a 45 degree angle; - tamper-evident paper that once applied to a cassette or sleeve will self- destruct upon removal; - die cut marks which cause the sticker once applied to a cassette or sleeve to self-destruct upon removal; - chemical void paper on which the word "VOID" appears if ink eradicator or an equivalent process is applied; and, - label stock that will resist heat. As you may be aware, the Theatres Act requires: • all retailers and distributors of film and video to be licensed • retailers and distributors to post their licence in a public area of the licensed location • all film and video product intended for exhibition or distribution in Ontario to be submitted to the Ontario Film Review Board for approval and classification Non-compliance with the above requirements, including the new stickering regulation, may result in any of a number of sanctions under the Act including: • suspension or revocation of license • seizure of product • ,prosecution resulting upon conviction in a fine of up to $25,000 per individual and/or one year in jail and a fine of up to $100,000 for a corporation.

The most recent AECB Radiation Monitor indicates that, for the three-month period from April 1 to June 30, 1995, the radiation doses* due to the operation of the Dazlington and Pickering nuclear stations were 2.0 microsieverts and 4.1 microsieverts, respectively. These doses aze for the most exposed persons living neaz the stations. They would typically apply to persons living just outside the station boundary who are at their residence 24 hours a day, and who eat and drink local produce and water. The doses are calculated using actual data from the analysis of air, water, milk, fish and vegetation in the local azea, as tiE~ell as data from the actual measured emissions from the stations. Most persons in the Pickering and Darlington areas would actually have received much less than the doses indicated because they have different eating habits or live farther away from the stations. Radiation poses decrease significantly as the distance from the stations increases. ~ " The Radiation Monitor is produced every three months for each of the two stations and published in :° gal media in the Durham region. Each edition contains a graphic presentation of the radiation doses to the r blic due to the emissions from the station, as compared to the doses from other sources, such as natural :-ackground radiation, the proposed legal limit, and the radiation received during a typical chest X-ray. Copies of the Radiation Monitor may be obtained directly from the AECB at 1-800-668-5284. 30 - "1'he radiation dose is a measure of the quantity of radiation absorbed by the body.

Emissions are in addition to background radiation. The radiation doses due to emissions are for the most exposed persons living near the station. They would typically apply to persons living just outside the station boundary who are at their residences 24 hours a day, who drink local water and milk, and eat local fish and produce. The doses were calculated using actual data from routine analysis of air, water, milk, fish and vegetation samples, as well as station emission data. Most persons would actually receive less than the doses indicated because they have different eating habits or live farther away from the station. Radiation doses decrease significant{y as the distance from the station increases. Persons living midway between the two stations would therefore receive less than the doses indicated for either of the stations. Less than 2~ of the radiation dose received from the stations was due to liquid emissions, while the remainder was a result of airborne emissions.

Janie also thanked everyone on the Committee for their help over the past six months. A special thankyou to Isabel Little for her assistance whenever needed and also to Pattie Barrie. Congratulations were given to Councillor John O'Toole on his election to the Provincial Parliament. John Bizzell is leaving the committee to accept a position in South Africa for a period of at least two years. Our thanks and best wishes along with a small remembrance were given to both John O'Toole and John Bizzell. John Bizzell returned his LACAC manual and Councillor O'Toole stated that his was left at the Town Hall for his successor. Phyllis enjoyed the social time and left prior to the formal business meeting. Adoption of Minutes 95-42 Moved by Bill Paterson and seconded by Tom Barrie that the minutes of the May 16th meeting be approved with the following correction: Page 3: Houses to be Designated - #5. Tom advised that "Barrie" is not spelled the same as his. Must be "Barry" or "Berry". "CARRIED" BUSINESS ARISING: House Tour Note -Phyllis Dewell has declined having her home on the Tour. At this time only four homes are confirmed but others are considering taking part. LACAC MINUTES PAGE 2 20 JUNE 1995 NEW BUSINESS Photographic Inventory , Janie advised that Isabel and her were planning on photographing structures in the Municipality which have been designated. This project has been initiated by the Planning Department as there is no photographic record of many of the buildings designated in the early years of LACAC. Janie advised that she will be compiling a scrapbook of the photos so that all the Committee members can view our heritage building stock. Ganaraska Countryside Adventure SAGA once again will have the weekend Ganaraska Tour of farms and houses. Members were asked if they were prepared to spend at least two hours manning a booth to promote LACAC and sell books. Date, August 26 and 27, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It was agreed that there was enough interest to man a booth on Sunday the 27th. Tom, Nancy, Diana, Lynn and Eleanor agreed to assist. Assignments Janie asked all members to return in September with a written request for designation from an area resident with a home worthy of designation. Members were also asked to look for volunteers who would be interested and available to assist us in specific programs and perhaps attend meetings. It was mentioned that all our meetings are open to the public. Janie advised that Peter Thorne had agreed to take on the job of corresponding secretary replacing John Bizzell. House Tour Funds Janie raised the question of where the funds from the previous and proposed house tour would best be used. 95-43 Moved by Tom Barrie, seconded by Bill Paterson that $1,000.00 of the proceeds from the 1994 House Tour be given to the Kirby United Church for restoration work only, as it is understood that work will be done on the east wall this year. "CARRIED" LACAC MINUTES PAGE 3 20 JUNE 1995 95-44 Moved by Tom Barrie, seconded by Bill Paterson that $1,000.00 of the proceeds of this years tour be given to the Orono Town Hall Board with the provision that it be used for restoration purposes. Eleanor asked that she take this proposal to the Board to see if they wish the gift of money to be used on restoration. The Town Hall is a designated building but to date they have not requested a grant for restoration work. Abstentions -Motion did not pass. It was mentioned that Port Hope ACO put the money raised into local restoration projects and loans given could be forgiven. In areas where there are ACO and LACAC groups they co-operate and work together. The question was asked if Clarington could have an ACO. LACAC could then specialize in designating homes and buildings which is their mandate. The purpose of the House Tour is to raise our profile in the community. Our grant from the Municipality to operate does not provide much money for designation of many homes. Suggestions were made as to other possible uses for funds raised such as: 1) Restoration of public buildings; 2) Bursary to deserving students at university or college level who are pursuing careers in architecture or related areas; 3) Bursary to deserving students at high school level looking to architectural and restoration areas of study; 4) Contest, best measured drawing of designated building in Clarington, give prize, keep drawing for display. 95-45 Motion by Bill Paterson, seconded by John Bizzell to investigate and draw up rules and regulations regarding possible bursary for students in three area schools who are entering .higher learning programmes in architectural studies. ® "CARRIED It was suggested a report be made in September and it was also suggested to investigate Trent-Durham programmes at the same time. LACAC MINUTES PAGE 4 20 JUNE 1995 Bowmanville Book Diana reported 84 houses will be in this book and asked if a professional photographer might be used to produce a better picture of some of the houses. In September a report will be made on how many need redoing and the cost to be incurred. Newspaper Promotion Bill and Noni Paterson's home had been front and centre in the Bowmanville Statesman. The articles by Laura Richards have been superb. Janie will get news of our meeting to the local papers. LACAC Advisor Meeting Isabel Little handed out minutes of the LACAC Advisor Meeting held June 12, 1995. Treasurer's Report Eleanor reported no changes. Rent for Meeting Room and Storage This matter was out of order when brought up and was not addressed later in the meeting. Designated Property Grants Mary Lou Evans, LACAC Advisor with the Ministry, suggested that the LACAC submit all grant applications for approval, as it will be a show to the province the need to continue with the Designated Property Grants Program. Isabel reported that Margaret Sardinha with the Cultural Programs Branch, also asked that all eight (8) grant applications be submitted and suggested that we prioritize ~thiern: f" ,~ for payout. We can if we wish give all eight applicants some funding and of tours. _.~„~,; amounts depend on the funding from the Ministry.

During the period from September 18 until about October 4, 1995, depending on the weather, your area will be included in the aerial vaccination program to immunize foxes against rabies. A map of the affected areas is attached. Ministry staff will operate Twin Otter planes out of two locations: Stratford Municipal Airport (September 18 -September 26) and the Ministry airstrip at Irvine Lake in the vicinity of Bon Echo Provincial Park (September 29 -October 4). From an aircraft at about 250 metres, the Rabies Unit staff will distribute baits made of a waxy substance flavoured with chicken and cod oil essence to attract foxes. Embedded in each bait is a blister pack containing 1.8 millilitres of a special rabies vaccine. When a fox eats the bait containing this vaccine it is protected from rabies thus preventing the spread of the disease. Since 1989, the Rabies Unit has distributed 3.5 million of the rabies-baits for foxes which are approved by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Eating a bait will not harm a dog or cat. but it will not protect these animals against rabies. Domestic animals are immunized through a rabies injection given •by a veterinarian. Each bait has the Rabies Unit telephone number printed on it for inquiries in addition to the message: "Rabies vaccine - Do Not Eat". The vaccine in the bait is a live-virus and is not normally considered hazardous to healthy humans. Any known human contact with the vaccine ~~•ill be evaluated on an individual basis. The Twin Otters will fly along flight lines spaced at 2 km apart dropping baits at a rate of 20 per square kilometre. Baits are not distributed near residential areas, houses, farms or schools. Page 2 In parts of Grey, Wellington, Perth, Huron and Bruce counties an experiment will be conducted using baits made from icing sugar and marshmallow essence containing the fox rabies vaccine in a blister pack. For this experiment the Rabies Unit will drop 40 baits per square kilometre and vary the distances in the control areas between each flight line. The icing sugar-marshmallow (ISM) bait has proved effective in attracting both raccoons and foxes. The objective of this experiment is to compare the required flight line spacing for ISM baits targeting foxes as compared to raccoons. Ultimately the Rabies Research Unit hopes to arrive at a 'universal' bait for the two species. Ontario's previously held record for the highest number of rabies cases in North America was due to the Arctic fox strain spread mainly by red foxes and skunks. Since the beginning of the experimental fox rabies control program in 1989, provincial rabies cases have dropped dramatically and now are at their lowest level since 1961. If this trend continues fox rabies could be eliminated. from Ontario by the year 2001. For the first time, baits will be dropped in Quebec ~n good fox habitat where cases of rabies have been occurring o the eastern si ~ of the Ottawa River. The objective is to create a buffer zone of immunised foxes and prevent reintroduction of fox rabies into Ontario. If you have any questions about the program or need further inf *~mation, please do not hesitate to contact me at the Rabies Research Unit at t `!5) 832 - ~0. Thank you for your supt. , t.

COUNCIL DIRECTION n 9~ Dear Madam Mayor, ~~~ [3~~r ~ ~ D-1 JUN 1 9 1995 MUPJICIPALiTY OF CLARINGTON fu~AYOR'S OFFICE Over the last two weeks I had an opportunity to experience what most individuals never get an opportunity to see. I watched a young man create an aura in an unfamiliar atmosphere and do it with ellegance, style and professionalism. This young man was partaking in an effort to make this a safer world for which each of us owes him a debt of thanks. This unique individual, who had suffered a personal trauma in his life that most of us could not fathom, rose above the pain to represent the public at an inquest that dealt with the tradgedies on our highways. The same tradgedies that took his young wife from him and left him to live out his life with two small children. This young man spent countless hours preparing for this inquest knowing very well that the only person. partaking without a law degree was him. Yet he performed to a level that exceeded that of the attorneys and did it with grace. In his closing remarks the coroner stopped and looked at this young man and stated ori_the record: Mr. Elyea, I have never been so impressed with an individual in all my carreer. By the third day in this court room you had grasped the ways of the court to a point where you exceeded the lawyers on each side of you. You are a unique individual and I feel I have not heard the last of you. You see this young man by the name of Trent Elyea was not only cross-examining the witnesses but he also had to take the stand and describe the fateful night of his young wifes death. When he took the stand and started to tell the story everyone in the courtroom was crying. One individual was even on his knees praying. I have never experienced anything like this before and doubt I ever will. Mr. Elyea when approached by media was humble and explained that he was there on the publics behalf for a reason. He lust wanted to make sure no one else had to suffer from this type of tradgedy again. I don't know if there is an award for citizen of the year but if there is I nominate this young man. You see he instilled that lost feeling that one person cannot make a difference. This unique individual did make a difference. He spent hundreds of hours since his wife passed away dedicated to making a difference. He recieved no pay, no thanks, and lust did it because he believed in himself. That's a rare display in this day and age. This young fireman who had little or no experience in the law left that courtroom after two weeks a winner. There are few chances in this life to meet someone like Mr. Elyea and unfortunatly I didn't. I watched him from afar and marvelled at his selfwill and confidence. With this I will close but for one more thought. If you are the people who have the opportunity to thank this couageous young man then I would suggest you do so in a way you feel fit. ' I felt it important to write this letter because I can't get this courageous young man out of my mind. I only hope he recives ' the recognition he deserves. This young man has instilled my youth and vigor and for that I thank him. He has also given me faith in my fellow man once again. , i ACK. ~i~ ...,. ~ ..,.. rt z/ 114 r~.x.'..b.yrr ~,.~.c1A+..~:• ,.. r ....._ ~; r ~,__ {__._. -~ ~___ ~_ _ ~ :._ /~l ~ ~~-. Gam' . Inquest jury says there is a need for barriers on Highway 401 Clarington man wants iers bl~Iilt all the way to Trenton. ~Y BRIAN LEGREE This Week Staff Writer _ A coroner's jury is recommending high barriers be installed along ~-Iighway 401 from Newcastle to Trenton. Captain Trent Elyea of the Clarington Fire Department, whose ihvife was killed on the highway in a 1993 accident, is pleased with the .recommendation, but cautions `whether they follow through with it emains to be seen." The 10-day inquest in Cobourg vas investigating the deaths of two oronto men who were killed in arch of last year when a school bus lost traction on an icy section of the ighway and crossed the median, hit- ing their eastbound vehicle head-on. Capt. Elyea represented the citi- zens' group Committee For a Safer 401 at the inquest and took two ~,veeks off work to make his submis- sions. He also acted as a witness at the inquest. "It was hard when I got on-the ~tand," says Capt. Elyea, referring to the emotional aspect of the inquest. He says it would cost W40 million o $70 million to install the barriers rorn Newcastle to Belleville. Capt. Elyea says he is committed to getting the barriers erected. "I'm not going to quit until they're up," he says. "I don't want to see anyone else needlessly die out there." Although there are barriers along the 401 from Courtice to Bowmanville, Capt. Elyea says, "There's an 8.8 kilometre stretch without them from Highway 35/115 to the Northumberland-Clarington border." Capt. Elyea says his "Committee for a Safer Highway 401" group will lobby new Premier Mike Harris to approve funding for the barrier installation. "They have control, they have the funding and they can put a stop to the accidents," says Capt. Elyea. A Ministry of Transportation offi- cial says the government is currently constructing a barrier from Trenton westward and is reviewing the jury's recommendations.

In 1990, this represented 9,000 households, and by 1993, it represented 9,800 households. Surrey has 35 Affordable Housing Projects, excluding Co- ops,which can accommodate only 2,100 households. A large and growing gap exists between the number of available social housing projects and the number oflow-income households in Surrey. In July 1993, the provincial government legislated Bill 57 to faalitate provision of affordable and special needs housing and amenities. Bill 57 authorizes local governments: • to provide a "density bonus" in return for affordable and special needs housing and amenities from devebpment proponents; • to enter into a `housing agreement" with property owners to ensure the realization of affordable and specal needs housing . commitments; and • with the consent of property owners, to'designate an area' within a zone for affordable or special needs housing. it As part of the process of implementing this legislation, which is optional, further study and analyses of specific provisions are required. With the help of an A•C•T grant, the City of Surrey wit conduct a study to implement Bill 57. The study will involve the following: • literature review of selected North American sties and evaluation of currentregulaGons; • identification of potential bonus density zones and amenities; • development of policies-and procedures for City Councl's consideration and approval; • preparation of amendments to the Official Community Plan and Zoning and Subdivision by-laws; and • monitoring and evaluation of the impact of implementing Bill 57. Cooperation and Partnership Representatives ofthe City of Surrey's Planning and Development Department, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders' Association, and the Surrey Chamt~er of Commerce win work together on this project. Other interested parties and residents will have the opportunity to provide input at public information meetings. Changes in Regulations and Regulatory Processes Amendments to Surrey's Official Community Plan, Zoning and Subdivision by-laws are required to implement Bill 57. New municipal policies and procedures that address the following areas will be put forward for City Council's consideration and approval: bonus density zones and their extent; type, extent, location and maintenance of amenities; • linkage between bonus densiGes,and public amenities; • options for developer contribufwns; and • housing agreements. Project Impact Implementation of Bill 57 will: • encourage residential intensification; ; • produce more affordable and speaal.needs housing for low-income households; ' • encourage innovative housing and infrastructure design; and • facilitate timely development of amenities. Surrey's efforts will provide other British Columbia municipalities with practical and detailed information on implementing 61157. Other provinces that.have an interest in similar Legislation will benefit from Surrey's experience.

REESE ARCHITECT LTD., VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA Project Highlights property development model will require changes to: One of Vancouver's inner-city areas is suffering from a decline in economic viability and deteriorating building stock, giving rise to a number of social issues. The area, victory Square, is located east of the aty's Central Business District and is known for its unique heritage character. The challenge is to develop an economical approach to rehabilitating existing buildings, in order to increase housing options and retain the area's historic character. Rehatx'litation on a buildng-by-building basis would be prohibitively expensive. However, if a group of buildings is considered the basic unit of development, economies of scale can be.achieved. Seismic upgrading, elevator access, exiting and new mechanical and plumbing services become feasible when applied on a large scale. A medhanism for developing separately owned properties together is 'joint property development", which has been used s~cessfully for new construction in Vancouver. An analysis of joint property development, and regulatory n;form, are required to permit the use of this mechanism to revitalize inner~city housing. With funding from an A•C•T grant, Peter J. Reese Architect Ltd. will develop a regulatory model for joint property devebpment suited to Victory Square. The work vutll involve an in-depth analysis of the legal and regulatory issues that need b be resolved, and recommendations will be made regarding zoning by-law and procedural changes. When the changes have been approved, the project team wtil encourage property owners and developers to undertake a demonstration project using the new joint property development model. Cooperation and Partnership Peter J. Reese Architect Ltd. has already held dscussions with staff from several municipal departments and has their full support; planning, Legal, Permits and Licences, and Housing and Properties. City staff have expressed considerable interest in joint property devebpment as an economicany viable approach to revitalizing Victory Square. They will be consulted throughout the project, and the City's Senior Area Planner wtil be a member of the project team. The Urban Development Institute (Partific Region) and the Greater Vancouver Home Builder's Assoaation wi71 also be Involved in the project, and property owners and developers witl provide input into the joint property development model. Changes in Regulations and Regulatory Processes The project will result in a formal mechanism for upgrading a group of exis:~g buildings on different legal properties. Implementing the joint Vancouver's zoning and development, building, and parking by. laws; building code requirements; and the approval and inspectiorti processes. Projectlmpact Defining an economical approach to the rehabilitation of heritage buildings win allow the development of bix-income and specialty housing alternatives in Victory Square. The project has implications for other inner-city areas wittun Vancouver, such as Chinatown. The revitalization ofinner-city areas and the provision of affordable and flexible tmusing options are issues of pertinence to many municiparties across Canada. The results of this project will provide municipal governments with a regulatory reform model that can have a positive impact. For more Information on this project, contact: Robert Fedler Peter J.

Since the launch of the initiative, several artisans have applied (or permits to renovate buildings to create mixed-use spaces where they can live, work and sell their products. For example, one applicant wants to convert a part of her heritage home to provide a workshop and an art gallery. A cabinetmaker will build an additional storey on his garage to make a workshop. The City of Sainte-GenevirSVe was awarded an A•C•T grant to revise regulations to permit artisans to aeate Gve/work accommodation in areas designated as `artisan zones", and to carry out a demonstration project that will illustrate the benefits of the new regulations. The A•C•T grant will be used to • evaluate the ~~~act of mixing commercial and residential uses on the urban 2nvi-~nment, including real estate values; • develop pra~t~cal solutions for dealing with problems such as noise and pollution that may be created by artisan industries; • ensure that mixed-use projects respect building code standards for public health and safety, and fire protection; • adopt new regulatory standards for mixed•use renovation or construction projects, particularly with regard to environmental protection; and • conduct a demonstration project and document the results. Cooperation and Partnership The project team, comprising municipal staff, an architect and the West (stand Industry Commissioner, will consult with artisans in order to draft re~~sed building and renovation by-laws that will encourage innovative horsing solutions for this group. Changes in Regulations Tie City will adopr a special planning instrument that will permit the lcr-ation of mixed use artisan districts or zones. Evaluation criteria will g~ ~e the modification of zoning and building regulations, and eligible a.;isan industries will be defined. In addition, the regulatory process will tr r:•:iewed and streamlined in order to provide guidance to the building i^:.,;;ry regardir,y Gilding and renovation standards for mixed-use cc-s:ruction. Information tools, such as brochures and checklists, will C: _ :eloped to prc~, ide the public with clear and simple information rr ~:_~ to building c: de requirements for mixed-use construction. Project Impact l_ivehnrork accommodation offers many benefits, including optimization of space use; reduced housing, business and transportation costs and improved quality of life. This A•C•T demonstration project aims to encourage improvements in the quality of the built environment and the production of affordable housing suitable for home-based businesses. It is hoped that the development ofmixed-use buildings will help revitalize Sainte-Genevieve. The results of this initiative will be applicable to other municipalities interested in promoting live/work accommodation through regulatory reform.

The City is participating in a new residential renovation subsidy program called Virage Renovation, coordinated by the Sociatd d'habitation du .Quebec, and it expects an increase in the number of permit applications for these types o(projects. Most homeowners lack the speaa6zed technical knowledge required to prepare the architectural plans and specifications that must be submitted to receive a development permit. In addition, homeowners are often unfamiliar with the approval process, which can be complicated and lengthy. Those seeking assistance in making their way through the approval process find that there is little technical support available to help them. These factors have led to a situation in which homeowners may try to undertake construction work without a permit or prepare plans and specifications themselves. In doing so, construction safety and quality, and architectural integration are affected. Municipal employees are also affected since they must invest considerable time in evaluating permit applications that are not prepared by building professionals, which slows down the approval process. Andre J. Fortis ~ Architecte was awarded an A•C•T grant to develop a series of about 10 to 15 technical guides that will help homeowners in the City of Montreal prepare permit applications for small residential renovation projects. Separate guides will be created for different types of renovation projects, such as: • abasement to an apartment conversion; • a minor extension or interior renovation that would provide additional housing; and • renovations that make the existing living space accessible to the handicapped. The guides win contain sample designs as well as advice on regulations in force and the scope of construction work required. Cooperation and partnership Andre J. Fortin Architecte will work closely with representatives of the City of Montreal's Permits and Inspections, and Housing departments. The F~oject team will also include a structural engineer and a representative from 1'Association provindale des constructeurs d'ha5"ations du Quabec. Changes in Regulatory Processes This :•~ject will improve the permit application process for small res~~e-:gal renovation projects. Under a revised process, a municipal employee will meet with the homeowner to review the relevant technical guide and enter into an agreement about the nature and execution of the work involved. Ideally, a permit would be issued at the same time. Project Impact The technical guides and meeting with municipal staff will provide homeowners with technical support, reduce. the documentation required, and speedup the approval process for small residential renovation projects. This will encourage good-quality renovaCbn work that complies with existing muniapal regulations and could reduce administration costs. This, in turn, will help to improve housing affordability, choice and quality in Montreal. The project team also plans to show that the educational toots developed under this A•C•T project can be applied to other types of residential construction projects.

During the past lew years, the Council's Barrier Free Design Committee worked to identity appropriate barrier-tree design standards for the province. As a result, the provincial government plans to adopt new barrier-tree regulations in the spring 011995. The PEI Councl of the Disabled was awarded an A•GT grant to help builders become aware of the barrier-tree regulations, learn building techniques to comply with them, and access a streamlined approval process (or obtaining building permits. The project team will: • develop a training workshop on building to conform to barrier-free regulations; • produce workshop communicatbn materials, including a builders' handbook and fadlitator's notes and iransparendes; • create a model 'quality-control plan' to include with the application for a • permit; design a"barrier-tree checklist" for use by builders, designers and architects to evaluate their plans; • consuh with stakeholders on cast-tracking the approval process for builders who participate in the training workshop; and ~, deliver the training workshop. Cooperation and I'artnershlp to streamline the approval process for builders who have participated in the barr'~er-free workshop, in recognition of participants' knowledge of the new regulations. Projectlmpact Barrier-free regulations can improve housing quality and choice for people who live with physical limitations. But often, these improvements make housing less affordable. Builders who have paRidpated in the training workshop will be better able to control the costs of barrier•Uee consltvction with a clear, understanding of barrier-free regulations and their intent, and up-to-date knowledge oibarrier-free building technrques. When the new regulations are in place, munidpal and provincral staff wiG be required to work closely with permit applicants to ensure the appropriate detaited design documentation is provided. The training workshop developed through A•GT wip make it easier for builders to understand and comply with the new regulations, and staff will be able to review applications more expeditiously.

Many of these suites, however, remain unregistered, or are registered but do not comply with municipal regulations. The reluctance of homeowners to register suites and ensure compliance has hindered the District's implementation of its secondary suite policies. Residents are concerned about the existence of a large number of unregistered suites. North Vancouver considers public understanding and appreaation of its goals necessary to achieving successful policy implementation. The public needs to accept the value of secondary suites in meeting housing needs, and homeowners need to accept regulations governing them. The District of North Vancouver was awarded an A•C•T grant to develop and produce three information packages aimed at eliminating public contusion and distrust regarding secondary suites. Experience indicates that public concern about the impact of secondary suites in residential neighbourhoods goes beyond issues of size, design and parking. The packages will be developed to provide clear information on: • constructioNrenovationeosts; • municipal regulations; and • the social impact of secondary suites. The first package will present a set of realistic guidelines on the financial implications of creating a secondary suite in an existing home or a new one. The second package will explain municpal bylaws regarding secondary suites, including information on technical requirements, such as building codes; as well as use requirements, such as parking and noise controls. The third package will summarize data on the people who own and five in secondary suites, and show how secondary suites help meet the District's housing objectives, to encourage an understanding of the effect of more affordable housing on the community. Cooperation and Partnership The project team includes the District's Director of Development Services; representative; of the Permits and Licensing Department and the Social Planning Department; a local residential designer; and a local resident who chaired a citizen task force on the role of neighboufioods and how to strengthen them. The information packages will be distributed in draft torn to 22 local community associations, homeowner representatives and :`~e local homebuilding industry for comment before finalizing the content. Changes in Regulatory and Planning Processes The ~?~riers encoun:gyred by the District of North Vancouver in imp':-enting ifs rec_'afions and approval processes for secondary suf.:; ~~ghlights lhe -portance of homeowner cooperation and community acceptance in achieving regulatory reform. When homeowners and residents have had,a chance to develop a more informed understanding of the regulations and requirements, registration and approval of secondary suites should proceed more smoothly. , Projectlmpact It is expected that the information packages will considerably reduce homeowners' reluctance to register their secondary suites. The information will reduce public resistance to the presence of this type of housing in their neighbouhoods. The results of this project should be useful to other municiparties encountering difficulties in securing publ'~c support and homeowner cooperation in implementing secondary suite potiaes and regulations. The concept and the issues addressed in the material will be transferable to other municipalities across Canada, with some appropriate modifications.

A 1991 review indicated there were recurring variance applications for which no objections were raised and approval was given without any conditions. The study was based on a small sample, and the results cannot support comprehensive zoning amendments. More research is needed before amendments for residential areas can be drafted for public consultation. Project Impact A key benefit will be better use of municipal staff time as a result of reducing requirements for zoning~variance applications. Staff will spend less time commenting on minor variance applications and more on other development applications and projects. Savings will be realized in both the public and the private sectors with a reduction in administrative paperwork, public notice mailings, appeals of decisions and application fees. By eliminating unnecessary red tape, the City will help to promote public respect for land use controls that are in place and contribute directly to affordable housing by keeping administrative and development costs down. The City of Windsor was awarded an A•C•T grant to analyze its variance applications and to draft and implement appropriate zoning , amendments. The analysis will be based on approximately 800 variance application files from the most recenttwo-year period. A data base created from the files will be used to identify repetitive applications not opposed and approved without conditions. The resulting information will be cross-referenced to specific provisions in the . City's zoning by-laws to identify where appropriate amendments could reduce or eliminate recurring, non-controversial variance applications. After consultations have taken place, City staff will develop the amendments, proceed with public hearings and submit amendment ' recommendations to City Council. A report will be produced on Windsor's zoning variance applications =pertaining to residential development. It win be avalable for public distribution. Cooperation and Partnership The project team includes representatives from the City's Planning Department; the Secretary-Treasurer of the City's Committee of Adjustment; a planning student from the University of Windsor, who will develop the data base; a builder; and the Director of the Planning Program at the University of Windsor. Changes in Regulatory and Planning Processes Where the need for variance applications can be eliminated, the approval time for residential projects will be reduced by up to (our mon;~s. The data base will be used in evaluating future applications for zoning changes, in redrafting comprehensive by-laws and in site plan review. The results of this project should be of particular value to other municipalities that have a considerable volume of zoning variance applications.

Its design combines and improves upon the built-in convertbiGty of the CHARLIE home, developed by the Hamilton-Halton Home Builders' Association, with the reduced size and straightforward design features of McGill University's Grow Home. The result is a small home with approximately 90 mt of living area that can be inaemenlally expanded up to three times ds original size, even to accommodate an accessory apartment. Sevag Pogharian Design was awarded an A•C•T grant to construct two SPROUT units. The project team aims to demonstrate that wRh a supportive regulatory framework, small inlill sites can be transformed into highly desirable and affordable housing for young families having a gross annual revenue of 535,000 to x50,000. The project team wiA: • conduct market research; • ' review Montreal's regulations and regulatory processes as they relate to small, single-lot, infill developments; • inRiate required regulatory changes if necessary; • construct two SPROUT demonstration units; and • promote the SPROUT concept to the homebuilding industry and consumers. Cooperation and Partnership Representatives otthe following organizations will work together on the SPROUT demonstration project: • Sevag Pogharir.n Design; • The City of Montreal's Housing and Urban Development Department; and • !.'Association provincials des constructeurs d'habrtalans du Qu~bea Changes in Regulations and Regulatory Processes The project team will identify zoning regulatans that challenge the development of SPROUT homes, and will initiate regulatory changes to resolve barriers to construction. Specific issues to be addressed include: • building fine; • required on-site parking spaces; • relation of parking to main street; and • number o! buildings per lot. The project team wilt also review MonlreaPs regulatory process as it applies to smz!I inliq developments to identity ways to improve the process, and to determine whether the introduction of a separate development and approval prc•=ass for small inL!I developments would laalitate or complicate the existing p~:_ess.

Expanding h__: -~ stock t`~rou;' inlll deveopment can directly contribute fo increased housing altordabilily, choice and quality; with benefits (or consumers, developers and municipalities. _ . Consumers benefit from infill since it increases the availability of affordabe housing in desirable, mature neighbourhoods. Small developers, in particular, benefit from infill opportunities because of the relatively low deveopment costs associated with small lots in areas already serviced. Muniapafities benefit as infill development can result in berier use of existing infrastructure and an increased tax base, and help to maintain the quality of mature neighbourhoods. Its relatively small initial size will also.make SPROUT an affordable starter home for young families, while As built-in convertbiGty will allow for future modifications as the needs and income of a family changes. The home could be expanded to provide more room for children, for example, or to include an accessory apartment that could generate rental income or accommodate retired parents.

In order to address this challenge, the City reviewed its housing policies and regulations, aiming to ensure that seniors in the community would have access to a wide variety of affordable housing alternatives. City staff reviewed the development approvals process, the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and identified a number of areas where improvements could be made. Through A•C•T, the City's work will be documented as a case study so that other municipalities may benefit from the results. • introduced new types of seniors' housing, not formerly addressed in the By-Law, such as garden suites, accessory apartments and home sharing; and • reduced development standards, such as those for parking, where appropriate. ' Project Impact Streamlining the approvals process and reducing the need to obtain costly and time-consuming approvals have improved the affordat~tity of housing for seniors in Burlington. With many new types of seniors' housing incorporated into the City's Zoning By-law, the potential for a wide range of housing options for seniors now exists. Cooperation and Partnership The City of Burlington consulted with all community groups that have an interest in the provision of housing for seniors in Burlington. A draft report was prepared and circulated to: • Elderly Services Advisory Committee of Halton Region; • Halton Non-Profit Housing Corporation; • Halton Region Planning and Development Department; • Burlington Seniors' Advisory Committee; • Burlington Housing and Development Liaison Committee; • Central Park Seniors' Advisory Committee; • Club Nine Seniors' Soaal Club; and • Hamilton-Halton Home Builders' Assoaafron. City staff met with representatives ofthese groups to dscuss the report, and revised it accordingly. Members of the general public were also invited to comment on the proposed changes to the By-law before a final report was presented to City Council. Changes in Regulations and Regulatory Processes The City streamlined the development approvals process for seniors' housing by standardizing City approaches to processing applications for seniors' housing and setting consistent standards for the approval of applications. City staff recommended numerous amendments to the Zoning By-law, relating to definitions, permitted uses, density, bulding height and parking standards, for example: Subsequently approved by Council, the arendments: • extended the range of seniors' housing which is permitted "as of r:yhC without t~~ need for development approvals; The results of this project can be applied to municipalities throughout Canada.

FACT SHEET--JULY 1994 POLICIES AND REGULATIONS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS' HOUSING UMA ENGINEERING LTD. AND THE REGINA HOME BUILDERS' ASSOCIATION REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN Project Highlights The construction and renovation of our homes produces more than five percent of the total volume of waste sent to landfill each year in Canada Reducing that waste is both a challenge and an opportunity (or governments, the building- industryandconsumers across the country. With the help of an A•GT grant, UMA Engineering Ltd. and the Regina Home BuOders' Assoaal'an are taang the chaGenge by investigating the teasbi'Idy of a new residential construction waste management plan for Regina. The project team will: • conduct an inventory of current constrtrdxui waste management practices and types and volumes of wastes produced; • review existing, and identify proposed, munirapal and provucial government legislatbn, regulations and policies applicable to residential construction disposal; • review relevant administrative processes and procedures; • devebp stakeholder.consuftation and public awareness programs; • identfy and evaluate potential waste management options using the'3Rs' (reduction, reuse and rung); • prepare and distribute a report outlining options to key stakeholders; and • conduct stakeholder and public meetings. Cooperation and Partnership Projectlmpact Putting a new residential construction waste management plan into etfed in Regina and applying the 3Rs to new oonstrudion projects could help b reduce builders' material costs. For example, using house designs that favour standard sizes and reusing cutoffs from dimensioned wood for short length requiremergs could reduce waste generated and materials used. Seq'ing excess gypsum wallboard, metal strapping and cardboard packaging for recycling court crate sources of revenue. These waste management practices and others could hep to reduce waste sent to Regina's landfill, which is nearing capacity. This could help to reduce builders' disposal costs, which can add up to lour percent of the total cost of building a new home. As the savings realized could be passed on to homebuyers, housing affordability in Regina could improve. The waste management options identified as a resuk of this teasdxTity study Mn'p be useful to communities across the country, since munidpal waste management concerns and new residential construction waste materials are similar throughout Canada. For more Information on this project, contact: The project team will include representatives of: • UMA Engineering Ltd.; • the Regina Home Builders' Association; • several City of Regina departments, &xdird'ing Pi~fic Works (Waste D'ivisbnj, Muniapal Engineering, Urban Planning, and Urban Development; and • Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management. Changes in Regulations In 1989, the Canadian Counal of Ministers of the Environment agreed that targets and schedules for waste minimization be established, including a 5096 reduction in waste generatbn by the year 2000. b order to meet this natbnal goal, all Levels of government are promoting and enforang restrictions on the volumes and types of waste sent to lartdfdls. Bans on the dumping of construction materials are becoming commonplace, and haulage and tipping fees have increased in many municipalities. Saskatchewan Env'uonment and Resource Management is developing a provincial waste management strategy that will incorporate the 3Rs into dec:ion-making at the regonal and local levels. Regulatory reforms proposed by the Province include the creation of regional waste oommiss'wns, and the deve'opment and im~lemenlation of regional waste management plans. The ;,rojed team will identify economically and practically sound waste ma~.a:ement options that could be considered in the future development of a neh ;asidential cans:vction waste management plan for Regina. ......> ..::::::..:..................:::,:::.~.,.: n..,......,::.:: Fed era licit o .:::..:::::::::::::::.... .:::,::.: »::>::»::::»»::>::.; . ,..:.:.:. ~ .........:..:..:..............:.:..:.::.:.::::::::.::::::::.::....::::::. ~:.,,::::.. l C~itta(luttt.:::::::::>:<:>::>::::::::::»:::::Ca'ltadl 1 r .................... ;.: :.:>:.::.;;;;;:;:.;:.;.:::::. ;;::.:::.;..::.:.::::.. ;:.:.:.:.;;:.:.:.>::::::..:;., :<.: ar:l~amexlurld'crs :;<:::>::«::<>~:>::::>:Cartadlari::~Xousinrrand' ;:,:.......f?nnn~.,;nr~,.,..;,,.a<„~,.><:: FACT SHEET-JULY 1994 CONSTRUCTION WASTI•r MANAGI'JMI±JNT PLAN Thomas W~liams, P.

The project will focus on an area of about four square blocks, near downtown Halifax, surrounding the intersection of Gerrish and Creighton streets. This is a residential neighbourhood of two- and three-storey rowhouses that were built around 1900. The area contains numerous vacant lots and empty, boarded-up and rundown buildings. The Halifax Non-Profit Housing Society and the City of Halifax own a significant amount of property in the project area. Community consultation and involvement will be an important part of this project, which will be developed with the following goals in mind: • making better use of the existing building stock and land through conversion, renovation and infill; • providing a variety of housing Corms which meet the needs and desires of the community; • encouraging homeownership and more stable tenure options for renters; and • investigating options for the redevelopment of land and buildings owned by the City and the Halifax Non-Profit Housing Society. . The A~C•T project will be conducted in four phases: • consultation with the community, City planners, and other key players through focus groups and interviews; • preparation and adoption of neighbourhood renewal plans; • preparation of redevelopment options, including revised land-use planning regulations, detailed costing and potential ffnanang; and • construction of a demonstration unit to llustrate the benefits of the revised regulations. Cooperation and Partnership The Halifax Non-Profit Housing Society, a municipal non-profit housing agency, has taken the lead role in the project, and wit carry it out in close cooperation v:ith the City of Halifax Planning Department. The Society will also consult with other local housing groups, such as the No:-a Scotia Department of Housing and Consumer Affairs, the Canadian Home Builders' Association, the Affordable Housing Association of Nova Scotia, and the Technical University of Nova Scol'~a School of Architecture. Res:~ents will be ccnsulled to determine the type of redevelopment that is needed and des:~ed by the community. Changes In Regulations This project will review and propose changes to regulations, such as those respecting lot size and configuration, setbacks, street layout, design and parking, contained in the City of Halifax Municipal Development Plan and land-Use By-l.aw. The timing for recommending such regulatory change inopportune, since the City's Planning Department is currently conducting a secondary planning process to develop defiled neighbourhood plans. Project Impact This project will contribute to the long-term stability of the Gerrish- Creighton neighbourhood by providing greater opportunities~for homeownership and stablized rental arrangements, and by fostering a sense of pride and commitment among residents.

An increasing proportion of Sillery's population is made up of people over 65 years of age. Many of Sitlery's seniors occupy older large, single-family homes. However, because of a number of factors, including this group's fixed or diminishing income, the urgent need for costly renovations, and a disappearing market for this type of residence, many of these large houses are deteriorating and many homeowners are being forced to leave their community. To address this situation, the City of Sillery amended its planning regulations to permit the division of large, single-family detached homes into nvo units. This regulatory reform was undertaken to achieve several objectives: • to facilitate the maintenance of existing properties by making it profitable for homeowners to renovate; • to make it possible for elderly residents to'age in place' by creating a new source of income, and by aflowing co-owners to share housing costs; • to attract young families by increasing the supply of affordable housing; and • to ensure that the existing housing stock is not demolished. The City of Sillery was awarded ari A•C•T grant to provide information for the documentation of this existing regulatory reform initiative. Cooperation and Partnership Urbanex, a planning consultant, was hired by the City of Sillery to work with the City's Planning Department, Planning and Preservation Advisory Committee and Counal to develop and evaluate the proposed changes to the zoning by-law. In public hearings, members of the community were informed of the proposed changes and encouraged to share their views. Changes In Regulations Rather than amending a series of sections of the zoning by-law, the City adde~ a new section which affects all areas of the municipality where houses containing mare than 450 m~of floor area are located. The new secl;cn includes the following conditions: • cue off-street parking space must be provided for each unit; and • r~ exterior lrar,;formation ofthe main building is permitted, except ;~r the addition of a door, either on the side or on the rear of the gilding. This regulatory reform initiative helps seniors maintain their properties, and ultimately allows them to stay in their homes and community. TIC new zoning provisions also encourage the production of affordable housing units suitable for young families and other moderate-income households. This initiative, which addresses housing affordability, choice and quality, is applicable to other muniapalities in Canada that have a significant proportion of large, single-family homes and an increasing seniors' population.

The Permit Clerk considers the nature and extent of the proposed work, the intended use of the property, and the regulations and standards in effect. Tha Permit Clerk then advises applicants on how to submit the appropriate application with all the required documentation. In many instances, applicants find that they must first obtain development approval before their application for a building permit can be considered. The Permit Clerk refers these applicants to the Department of Planning or to the Committee of Adjustment. Applicants must again explain what They want to do and what type of development approval is requrced, which can be espedally di!ticult for those not famil'~ar with municipal by-laws, standards and regulations. Additional time is then spent by Department of Planning or Committee of Adjustment staff advising applicants of their optans and verifying the information cn the property in question. - The current building permit and development approval process often leaves applicants confused and unsure of what requirements they must fulfill, and often results in incomplete or incurred applications, return trips to City Hall, time daiays and additional costs. Through A•C•T, the City of Windsor wll develop a procedure to guide applicants thrcugh the building permit and development approval process that wiG make usz of the City's Property Record Organization Program. This computerized p~cgram provides an inventory of each property n the muniapality,inducting i; ': rmation such as lot dimensions, zoning, structures on the property, a history c; ;,revious applications, and sde plan control and heritage designations.

Changes In Regulatory Processes By developing a procedure to guidA applicants through the binding permit and devebpment approval process, the project team aims to simplify the existing building permit and development approval process: • reducing the time and effort builders are requred to invest in obtaining permits and approvals for construction projects; and • enabling City staff to process building permit and development approval applications more quickly and etGdently. Project Impact The revised building permft and development approval process in Windsor should save the City and the building industry both time and money. These savings could be passed on to the consumer, resulting in improved housing affordability in the municipality. The results of this project will be applicable to other communities aaoss Canada, particularly those with separate building and planning departments.

Correspondingly, the demand for housing that meats the special needs of seniors is on the rise. A new concept that can help meet the housing needs of seniors is the garden sc:e. A garden suite is a temporary dwelling, usuaby located on the lot of a close relative's home. This type of housing provides an attractive and affordable a':arnative to institutionalization; occupants can maintain an independent lifastyle while having access to companionship and support. A s::rvey conducted by Gallup Canada Inc. for Canada Mortgage and Housing Cc:poration indicates that almost halt of the Canadian market for garden suites lies in rural areas, where many lots are servced by on-site septic systems. H:•,;aver, no guidelines, procedures or regulations presently exist to help m;;nicipalities assess or control the impact of a garden suite on an existing on- s :aseptic system. This may cause public health inspectors to require that a say W ate septic system be put in place for a garden suite, based on rules that exist for other types of housing. Changes In Regulations and Regulatory processes The guidelines and rules Bevel ~ design the necessary regulatory~ls to control the use and maintenan rroe 1 on ~ site septic systems that service garden suites. Once in place, these tools should help streamline the approval process for garden suites throughout Ontario. Projectlmpact This project wGl help ensure that the costs associated with servidng garden suites are kept within affordable limits, while the standards set to safeguard the health of Ontario residents are maintained. The results of this project will be applicable to muniapalities across Canada, and will be particularly helpful in encouraging access to an affordable housing option forseniors in rural areas.

According to appl'icanls and Regonal staff alike, the existing development approval process is tar too lengthy, contributing to increased housing costs and making h difficuR for builders to respond quickly to changing market demands. Several reasons for delays in the development approval process have been identified, including duplication of crculation and inspections by area municipalities, the Region and the Province, poor coord'mation between regional and municipal departments, and excessive engineering standards for roads and services. To address these problems, the Regional Munidpaldy of Hamilton- VJentworth and the Ham7ton-Halton Home Builders' Assocationjointlyfnitiated an A•C•T project to streamline the development approval process. This project has the following objectives: • to eliminate time-consuming administrative bottlenedks; • to reduce duplication and create eificencies; • to create a stronger facilitating role torthe Region vis-A-vis other parties involved in the approval process; • to fast-track development proposals for innovative and affordable housing; • to establish a mediation process to resolve oonfficts and avoid appeals of decisions; and • to extend the methodology developed for streamliming the process to area muniapalities. Cooperation and Partnership Two committees have been established to carry out the A•C•T project. A Steering Committee, comprised of representatives from the Home Builders' Association and the Regional departments of Planning and Development, Environmental Services, Fnance, and Legal Services, will direct the project and implement its results. A Technical Commdiee, comprised of representatives from the same organizatbns as well as from area municipal planning and engineering departments and the provindal ministries of Municipal Affairs, housing, and Environment and Energy, will `brainstorm' workable solutions in a series of ten to twelve monthly meetings. C!~anges in Regulatory Processes T`is Project seeks to expedite the Region's development approval process by un•±artaking initiatives such as the fonowing: I~ a comprehensive development guide or "one-stop information padkage' to advise developers of the steps involved in the process, induding time ;names, depar,„.^ent contacts and tinandal requirements toreach stage; last-track appli;,ation forms and specific performance crAeria (or affordable and innovative ^ousing initiatives; '~ngineerng Cosign Standards Guidelines' containing alternative ~avelopmant s~ndards aimed at improving opportunities tar housing affordability, choice and innovaCan; • workshops to educate the residential construction industry on the revised approval process; and • • in-house training sessions to ensure that stab can effectively respond to devebpment inquiries, proposals and applications. Project Impact The proposed streamlined development approval process should reduce the approval time by approximately one year, permitting developers to save from 15 to 20 percent in development costs. These time and cost savings should allow the Region to address community housing needs more quickly and effectively, improve housing affordability and choice, and encourage innovative housing. To further this initiative, a liaison committee comprised of representatives from the Regional and area municpalities and the local development industry will be established with the mandate to transfer the streamlining process to area municipalities.

FACT SNEET-AUGUST 1994 COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DIVISION, CITY OF LONDON, LONDON, ONTARIO Project Highlights To meet the growing need for greater housing aflordabilily and choice, the Cily of London has created a 650-acre subdivision using reformed munidpal planning regulations. The new subdivision, called Trafalgar Woods, was designed to achieve the following objectives: • to increase the supply of affordable housing; • to introduce innovative, Oexble and affordable housing forms into the municipality; and • to stimulate the local economy through the sale of serviced residential lots to small builders. One innovative housing form to be included in the new subdivision is made-to- convert housing. Made•to-convert houses are single-famly dwetlings designed to be converted to contain an accessory apartment, and to be converted bade into a si;~gle-iam~y home, with minimum disruption and at minimum cost. The concept is based on the observation that households have different space require,~~ents and incomes at different stages of their fives. For example, a young (amly could use the extra income provided by a rental unit to help meet its mor,;age payments. Later, when the fam~y is larger and its income has increased, the structure can be converted back into asingle-family home. The Ci:y of London was awarded an A•GTgrant todesign amade-to-convert house a-,d to construct ~ in the new subdivision. This will involve the develc;,^ent of a variety of architectural plans for made-to-convert housing that will ma•;a use of new ccnstrudion materials and techniques. Once buifl, the unit will be :sect to demonstrate the benefits of made-taconvert houses to interested parties, i:~cluding local residents and homebuilders. devebp innovative housing types. The Guidelines provide for increased housing flexibility, innovaCan and choice, and will reduce delays in obtaining building permAs for unconventional projegs: Project Impact By developing and adopting the necessary regulatory tools, the City of London project will demonstrate the benefits of made-to-convert housing at the subdivision scale. Several one-unit, made-to•convert demonstration projects have been constructed across Canada, including the Dovertel Construction Inc. A•C•T project that was carved out in Richmond, British Columbia Tha project, however, should go beyond introducing made-to-convert designs and should encourage other Canadian communities to adopt the regulatory reforms initiated for this subdivision. k will also introduce innovative bulding products, techniques and forms to homebuilders both locatly and nationally, who can then pass the benefits onto consumers.

Unfortunately, inflexible building and land use regulations and inefficient approval procedures can contribute towards putting that dream out of reach of low income and moderate income Canadians. While building regulations and procedures ensure the health and safety of the public, they can also add to the cost of housing and limit choice and quality in new types of residential construction. What is A-C-T? To meet the needs of Canada's changing population, a partnership of four national housing associations -the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Canadian Home Builders' Association, the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation - initiated a program in 1990 to encourage regulatory reform at the grass roots level and improve housing affordability and choice in Canadian communities. (continued inside) Federation of Canadian Canadian Home Canadian Housing and Canada Mortgage and Municipalities Builders' Association Renewal Association Housing Corporation Known as A-C-T -Affordability a~td Choice Today - this unique program provides grants of up to $20,000 to teams of builders, planners, designers, community non-profit groups or agencies and regulatory officials who work together to find their own ways to eliminate roadblocks to better housing in their municipalities. The grants can be used to finance feasibility studies, design and approval expenses, or documentation costs associated with the project. Three. Types of Projects Three types of housing projects are awarded grants under the A-C-T program: h2novative Housing Types:, Garden Suites • Demonstration Projects that involve the construction of housing units showing how innovative changes to planning, design and construction, and servicing regulations can improve the affordability of housing; • Streamlined Approval Process Projects that reduce the time and effort needed to obtain approvals for housing projects; and • Case Studies of Existing htitiatives for documenting regulatory reform initiatives already undertaken which could be used effectively in other areas. /t -qti r~ `y. ~~(' ~; ~ ;c '~r Ir:novative Housing Types: Urban Infill Healthy House Five Years of Practical Results The results have been impressive. During its five years, A-C-T has helped to change the rules of the game in many municipalities across all regions of Canada. It has received 313 applications and provided 82 grants to regional and local munici- palities; housing associations and agencies; and builders, planners and architects. More than 59 of these projects are currently under way, and 11 have been published as case studies. The program is stimulating the development of new types of housing, such as expandable starter homes and transitional housing for immigrants, as well as innovative approaches to intensification and conversion projects such as infill housing and redevelopment in older areas of a city. It has also encouraged the use of new standards and streamlined approvals through "one-stop" application and information centres, computerized expert systems for plan-checking, and fast tracking of applications. Today, there is an A-C-T project in almost every major Canadian city. From setting up convertible houses on typical single-family lots in Vancouver and examining alternative rooming house designs in Montreal, to develo in an automated permitting system in Fredericton and revising condominium parking standards in P g Mississauga, A-C-T has generated a wide range of practical solutions for improving housing affordability and choice right across the country. Reinventing the Subdivision In one project, the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton tested alternative development standards in a new subdivision. The result was savings of approximately $4,000 per house. Promising sales to date show that such changes not only help to reduce the cost of housing but can generate attractively designed small homes and desirable communities in which to live. .:~: -. :.~. s~x ~. . ,. ;~`. , 4 F~ II 4xtY ~. 3 .& ~' .•` ~s~ •~. ,. ~6 ~ i ~,,. ..~.....:. ~. ~ :.~. _ ~ N' Alternative Development and Building Standards: New Compact Neighbourhood Cutting Condo- Costs The Urban Development Institute and the City of Mississauga reviewed parking standards for condo- miniums to see if requirements could be safely lowered to reduce construction costs. The study found that the existing standard added $5,000 to $12,000 to the cost of a typical apartment. Reducing the standard, cut construction costs, making the units more affordable not only for seniors, young families and singles but a broader clientele as well. Accelerating Approvals In the fast growing suburb of Surrey, B.C., an A-C-T grant was awarded to a committee of the Canadian Home Builders'Association of British Columbia, the New Home Warranty Program of B.C. and Yukon, and the Municipality of Surrey's Permits and Licences Department. Their project explored ways to increase the professionalism of the local residential construction industry and streamline the approval process for builders who have completed the Certified Residential Builder Program. _ -~;. l\ ;, :, ;.. as ~ ..,~. !

It also generated interest in the Municipality of Chilliwack in testing and implementing a special accelerated approval process for Certified Residential Builders. Zoning for Garden Suites In New Brunswick, the Tantramar Planning District Commission documented its experience in revising regulations to permit garden suites in its jurisdiction. The Commission worked with representatives of the manufactured housing industry, local municipalities and the community to develop approval processes that would make the garden suites readily available. The result was a reduction in the time required to process an application from as much as six months to one to two months. The quicker response is very important when the garden suite is required to provide a senior with urgently needed support and care. A-C-T Communicates Solutions These and other examples of A-C-T's effectiveness are fully documented in case studies which are published and distributed to share the best idea$ with municipalities and developers across the country, and encourage Canadians to act for affordable housing. A-C-T case studies, as well as one-page fact sheets describing approved and ongoing projects, are available from local offices of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Canadian Home Builders' Association, the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, and the Canadian Housing Information Centre at the National Office of CMHC in Ottawa. - `~ pap ~. ,~ pR~p~,~ „ Federation of Canadian Municipalities s-FF 24 Clarence Street Ottawa, Ontario Ki N 5P3 Telephone (613) 241-5221 Fax (613) 241-7440 Canadian Housing and Renewal Association 251 Laurier Avenue West, Suite 304 Ottawa, Ontario K1 P 5J6 Telephone (613) 594-3007/8 Fax (613) 594-9596 i ~p@ ~.,.Op,~ ,.,~ Canadian Home Builders' Association 150 Laurier Avenue West, Suite 200 Ottawa, Ontario K1 P 5J4 Telephone (613) 230-3060.

RECYCLING -GARBAGE BY-LAW AMENDMENT -ILLEGAL COLLE( TC300 F RECYCLABLE MATERIALS Your Committee had before it the following Joint report (June 29, 1995) from the Commissioner of Public Works and the City Solicitor: "Council at its meeting of April 26, 1995, directed that the Commissioner of Public Works and the City Solicitor report to the Works Committee and Council on: a) how they can diligently and effectively enforce the Garbage By-law; and b) the possibility of confiscating vehicles being used for the illegal collection of recyclable materials, There are four areas of review with respect to determining further possible means of enforcement: the current Garbage By-law; the Criminal Code; private legislation; and public legislation. ~qR R,4r F_ RY-1J~W Section 21 of By-law No. 21732 as amended states: 'No person unless authorized by Council shall interfere with any material placed out for collection other than the person who placed the material out for collection before the material is collected as herein provided.' Section 26, which provides for penalties for contraventions of By- law No. 21732 states: 'Every person who contravenes any of the provisions of this By-law or who causes or permits any such contravention is guilty of an offence and on conviction is, pursuant to the provisions of Section 62 of the Provincial Offences Act, R.S.O. , liable to a fine of not more than $5,000.' The word 'material' is not defined in the By-law, but the terms, 'Garbage', 'Rubbish' and 'Trash' are defined. The paper put out for recycling would be included under the definition or 'Rubbish or Trash' found in Section 1(f) of the ey-law. Therefore ft is possible under the present by-law to charge someone who unlawfully takes paper left at the curb for the recycling truck under the present provisions of the By-law. There are no provisions in the by-law nor in the Provincial Offences Act to permit seizure of any vehicle used for the purpose of unlawfully taking paper. -2- Clause 10 (Continued) One of the anomalies that currently exists with By-law No. 21732 as amended, is that originally Section 21 was amended by By-law No. 25547 in 1974 to read, 'No person shall interfere with or collect any garbage, paper, metal, trash, ashes, or any other material placed out on road allowances or other locations for collection by the Borough as herein provided except the person who placed out the material for collection.' Section 21 was again amended in 1978 by By-law No. 27024, Section 1 of which states: 'That Section 21 of By-law 21732 as amended, be further amended by adding the words "unless authorized by Council" after the word "person" in the first line of the said section so that the section shall now read: 21. No person unless authorized by Council shall interfere with any material. placed out for collection other than the person who placed the material out for collecting before the material is collected as herein provided.' It appears that the amendment of Section 21 in 1978 inadvertently deleted the broader amendment of Section 21 in 1974. It would, for the purposes of clarity, be in order to amend Section 21 to the original 1974 amendment. It would be clear that 'paper' such as that put out for recycling purposes would be included in the proscription against interference with garbage placed out for collection. As an aside, the Municipal Act contains the authority for a municipality to make application to court for a civil injunction. This would be an order of the court that the person who is the subject of the injunction cease an unlawful activity; such as the taking of paper placed out for recyGing. Should the person not comply with the order of the court, then civil contempt proceedings could be commenced and upon conviction for contempt in the face of the order one of the sanctions is incarceration in jail. The practical difficulty with this course of action is that it necessitates an application by the City of North York to court, which process is very costly and lengthy. Pursuant to the present provisions of Section 322(1) of the Municipal Act as amended, Council may pass, 'by-laws for providing that any person who contravenes... a by-law under Section 208.6... is guilty of an offence and for providing for the imposition of fines of not more than $10,000 on every person who is convicted of a first offence and $25,000 for any subsequent offence under any such by-law'. -3- Clause 10 (Continued) Section 208.6 (added to the Municipal Act by the provisions of Bill 7) gives a municipality the authority to pass by-laws to prohibit or regulate the use of any part of a waste management system, which system incudes the faal'~ies and services for the collection of such materials as designated by by-law. Section 322(2) provides for the imposition of fines upon corporations convicted of an offence under by-laws passed under Section 322(1). While the City does not have the authority to confiscate vehicles under the present provisions of the Garbage By-law or the Provincial Offences Act, a person (or corporation) could be charged with an offence under the Garbage By-law and the maximum fine that a court could levy upon conviction (for a second offence) would be $25,000.00. The by-law should be amended to take advantage of Section 322(1) as amended. CRIMINAL CODE Pursuant to Section 322 of-the Criminal Code, a person commits theft when that person takes or converts anything with the intent to deprive tiie owner or person who has a special property in it. It may be that either the City or the homeowner have a special property in the paper left out for pick-up, but, in any event, it would not be a third party taking the paper. Section 588 of the Criminal Code states: 'The real and personal property of which a person has, by law, the management, control or custody shall, for the purposes of an indictment or proceeding against any other person for an offence committed on or in respect of the property, be deemed to be the property of the person who has the management, control or custody of it.' While it appears that actual ownership of the paper placed for collection may not be critical, the Garbage By-law should be clarified to contain a statement that the materials placed at curbside for collection are the property of the City. The advantage of amending the By-law in this manner is that it would then not be necessary for the homeowner to attend in court to give evidence of ownership. Further, where the homeowner is the owner of the paper left out for collection, he has the ability to consent to someone other than the municipality taking the paper. By amending the Garbage 8y- law to clarify ownership, the defence of consent to the charge of theft would not be available. Under the provisions of the Criminal Code, the crime of theft under $1,000 is a hybrid offence. Where the charge proceeds as an indictable offence, a person on conviction is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years. Where the -4- Clause 10 (Continued) charge proceeds as a summary corniction offence, a person on conviction is liable to a fine of not more than $2,000 or to imprisonment for six months or both. Under the Criminal Code, the police would be involved in the laying of the charge. Therefore, any investigation and criminal proceeding would require the concurrence of the police. Where the Crown is successful in obtaining a conviction, the amount of the fine under the Criminal Code would not in and of itself act as a deterrent, but a criminal conviction and the possibility of a period of incarceration in jail probably would act as a deterrent. The provisions of the Criminal Code do not appear to address the issue of forfeiture of vehices used in a crime such as theft in these circumstances. PRIVATE LEGISLATION Council has also directed that the City make application for private legislation allowing North York to increase the maximum fine to $25,000.00 for the illegal collection of recyclable materials at. curbside. In light of the authority under the present provisions of the Muniapal Act, such an application for private legislation would not appear to be necessary. PUBLIC LEGISLATION The issue of illegal collection of recycable material appears to be a common concern among a number of municipalities. In order to increase the level of enforcement, the Province could be requested to pass legislation to amend the Municipal Act to grant municipalities the authority to enact garbage by-laws which would allow for confiscation of vehicles, and grant the court in which the conviction has been entered the authority to make orders prohibiting any repetition of the offence. This course of action would require the support of (and lobbying of) a number of municipalities and assoaations. Once in process, it is anticipated that the Province could move fairly expeditiously to pass the required legislation to amend the Municipal Act.

And when he does do it, it isn't necessary to applaud. • If you are helping, and aren't sure exactly what to do, ask an expert -the one you're helping. • Grabbing his cane is definitely out; so is patting his dog guide, except during off-duty hours. Even then, ask the master. • If a blind person gives you permisson to walk with him, don't grab his arm - let him take yours. After that, it's something like dancing; from the motion of your body, he can tell when you come to curbs or steps or turns. To avoid surprises, he may want to walk a half step behind you. • He may not want to hurt your feelings by telling you you're going too fast - or to slow -for him. If you pay attention, you ought to be able to judge after five or ten steps. • Do your feelings bruise easlily? When people don't recognize your voice over the phone, for instance? If so, when you run into a blind man you know, start off by mentioning your name. • If there's a blind person alone in the room, tell him when you come in. Especially if you're wearing sneakers. Same when leaving. • Shaking hands doesn't have to be awkward if you both know what's happening. Your blind acquaintance may start to raise his hand -but not be sure you've seen it. Or you may want to shake his hand. Easy: say something, like "Shake hands, friend." ::, ,~~ ~ `•>'. } ~~~? • To repeat: Blind is not deaf. Don't shout. Also blind is not dumb. If you have a question for the blind person, about what he likes to eat, for instance, ask him - not his companion. • Don't sweat over substitute words for "see", "look," or even "blind." And don't avoid them where they fit. You can talk about blindness itself - if it comes up, and you both feel comfortable about it. • In a restaurant, ,guide your blind friend's hand to his chair-back; take it for granted he knows how to sit down. Unless it's his regular haunt, offer to read the menu (prices too, if he's interested). No rules -only common sense - about when to offer help with the food, or in finding the bread or the salt. • If it's his turn to pick up the check, and he offers, it's OK to spar a little out of politeness; but let him. • As for your own feelings: pity is absolutely out, and sympathy is sometimes appropriate, but sensitivity always helps. Take it from there.

This site, located on 82 hectares of land within the City of Oshawa, is operated by the Oshawa District of Scouts Canada. The driving force behind this camp's concept was the late Colonel R.S. McLaughlin, who personally guided the project to its location and dedication. Its setting has played host over the past 50 years to thousands of young men and women, locally and from across Canada who availed themselves of the leisure facilities, tent camping, aquatic programs and fulfilling the dedication on the Camp's granite monument "To the Glory of God and the Building of Men". The spirit of Col. R.S. McLaughlin lives on at Camp Samac. Those that have been with us over the years come away with a deeper appreciation of the many charitable endeavors he supported. The years however, have taken their toll. New ordinances, environmental concerns and health regulations demand that ours facilities be updated or replaced to accommodate thousands of youth and adults who take part in our programs and benefit from our facility. We are appealing to the council for support in our fund raising campaign with an objective of $600,000. With this in mind, we request that you include this letter in the agenda of your next council meeting. Thank you very much for your help in this matter. ~_ ~. Yours sincer .~y, ;' 1 ~~,~ Fd Aru President Yours sincerely, ~~:~.~.~ ~a~ The Hon. Michael Starr, P.C. Honourary President D-11 '-,~~ A United Way Service scours ca~u~a~ c~- saMa~ ~n scau~nr~ nv osxAwA ~ It was early in this century that Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, developed a program for boys that allows wings to develop and roots to dig deeply into the fabric of everyday life. This vision of Lord Baden-Powell was , the starting point of Camp Samar. In 1910 the Boy Scouts movement had spread into Oshawa. During the boom years of the 1920s and the depression years of the 1930s, the Boy Scout program continued to grow. The growth of the movement did not go unnoticed by Col. R.S. McLaughlin, chairman of General Motors of Canada, who like his friend Lord Baden-Powell, was a visionary. It was Col. McLaughlin's commitment to the goals and objectives of the Boy Scout movement that prompted him in the early 1940's to purchase 150 acres of land 2'h miles north of Oshawa and donate it along with sufficient funding to develop the camp with structures for the Boy Scout Association of Oshawa and district. Since the beginning, Camp Samar, so named after its benefactor, has been the fertile ground in which the Scouting movement has grown in this area and the character building efforts of its programs has changed the lives of many of its youth. Col. Mclaughlin' s vision went beyond our city, and purchased 600 acres of land situated in the Haliburton highlands where older boys could experience and enjoy the great Canadian wilderness. The focus of the scouting movement is upon youth; imperfect, individualistic and unpredictable. They may come to the Scouting movement pre-programmed by their peers, the school system, or by their families. They come from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds which is the rich mosaic of today's Canadian fabric. Camp Samar, in its postcard setting, has played host over the past 50 years to thousands of young men and women, locally and from across Canada who have availed themselves of the leisure facilities, tent camping, aquatic programs, and fulfilling the dedication on the Camp's granite monument "To the Glory of God and the Building of Men". Statistics show that over 75,000 people use this excellent facility annually, of which only 50% are connectc~ to the Scouting movement. The years however, have taken their toll. New ordinances, environmental concerns and health regulations demand that our facilities be updated or replaced to accommodate the many thousands of youth and adults who still take part in our programs and use the facilities. To comply with the many new regulations, a consulting firm (Woods-Gordon) studied the conditions of the buildings and developed a course of action to preserve this "jewel" for the future use of generations to come. It was necessary to move very quickly on some of the recommendations such as the new swimming pool which replaced the old one, before an~~ campaign could be organized. The McLaughlin foundation graciously donated $100,000 towards the construction costs of the pool. Also, a generous commitment was received from the local Kiwanis Clubs for the repairs to Kitchie Lodge. Calendar year 1996 will mark the 50th anniversary of Camp Samar, and in order to prepare for that milestone, the board has decided to embark on a fund raising campaign to raise $600,000 to complete the recommendations detailed in its consultant's report.

These child care spaces provided by jobsOntario were designed as part of a package to encourage parents on social assistance and teen parents attending high school to get the training and education necessary to help find jobs. Estimates show that funding provided through this program has already saved over $40 million across the province in welfare payments. Further it is estimated that by providing child care and helping parents train or re-enter the workforce the government saves approximately $15,300 a year per person. ../2 -2 I urge you to consider the positive effects of providing child care and urge. you to bring forward a similar resolution that recognizes the long term impacts of eliminating these spaces to your community. The children in our province can not afford to be subject to the whims of the political agenda of the provincial government. I look forward to your response on this issue at your earliest possible convenience. Sincerely, -; _ ;~• .~' , ,;~ Sandra Pupatello, M.P.P.

Dear Madam, THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN BOWMANVILLE I am sure you receive many letters of suggestions. Mine, I hope, shall be concise. The "downtown" area, as we now know it, will be gone by just after the year 200 or 2010. That is, i. ae c!o not'.iin;:,, now. Places of historical interest are not allowed to stand by Planners and Developers, alike. Look at the village of Maple, in the Region of York. It is gone. I know, I used to live in nearby Richmond Hill. 'The enclosed newspaper cutting is forecasting the same for "old" Newmarket. We shall experience the same demise of the "old" downtown. I have just returned from Ireland - the quaint villages and towns over there are in grave jeopardy. It is now so bad, tour buses have great difficulty in getting through those places. Either they widen all roads, or they close the little towns and villages into walking places, only. This has been done in Sparks Street, in Ottawa, for example. Niagara-On-the-Lake has been able to preserve itself, mainly because their main road is so very, very wide. Bowmanville's King Street is too narrow for both traffic, including buses, and the parked traffic. Parking carp on King Street will be the hindrance in the future. It will get worse, assuredly. I suggest that, before it is too late, Bowmanville should be planning a by-pass road system for all care and buses, etc. Along with that, re-build the existing Municipal :arking Lot (Division/Church) into a multi-floor vehicle park. Charge the "going-rate for parking, if necessary, although a minimal cost would be better. Then, close most of King Street and make it a "pedestrian mall", Install plenty of sidewalk seating. A couple of heritage-style restaurants, too. No cars would be allowed. Street area should be cobbled stones. The present stores would fit it well, for the most part. The tire repair store would not fit in. Yours very truly, r f , F Robert Trotman. " `~`~ COUNCIL DIRECTION D - 15 l'.;! ~ " 4026 Squair Rd.

This special week was initiated by the Association of Early Childhood Educators, Ontario following the 1979 International Year of the Child. During 1979, many important issues were raised pertaining to the needs of our children. If we believed as a society that our children are our most precious resource for the future ,then it was essential to set aside a consistent time annually to reflect upon and consider their needs, rights and interests. Hence the Week of the Child. The Week of the Child is a time when communities across Ontario are encouraged to work on the following objectives: • To reflect on the rights and needs of our children. • To renew our commitment to improve the quality of opportunities for all children a~-d their families. • To review how well we care for and educate the future adults, parents, and leaders of Ontario. As President of Ontario North Shore Branch of the Association of Early Childhood Educators, Ontario, I ~~, ~~uld be pleased to attend the council meeting to hear the reading of the Official Proclamation, and to present ,~ Week of the Child poster to you.

Additionally, we feel that it would help improve the appearance of the court by pro~~iding larger front lawns. We hope that you are in agreement with us, and that the sidewalk is not a requirement.

(:_ Eazlier this yeaz, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (O.F.A.H.) wrote to you and requested your Municipality's support in our efforts to ensure that any amendments to Canada's gun control laws by the federal government would have real benefits in increasing public safety and reducing crime. Your assistance has been appreciated. Following a drastically reduced debate in the House of Commons, and pefi:nctory review by Commiteee, Bill C-68 was passed on June 13, 1995 and referred to the Senate for approval, notwithstanding the wide- spread opposition to the content of the Bill. Your Municipality's statement through resolution was added to the voices that spoke out against Bill C-68: a copy of your resolution was provided to all the members of the Justice Committee and to all Ontario Members of Parliament by the O.F.A.H. The O.F.A.H. strongly supports those sections of Bill C-68 that tighten up border crossings and increase the mandatory sentencing provisions of the Criminal Code; these measures have real potential to reduce firearms crime and the availability of firearms to criminals. We are however, opposed to those sections of the draft legislation that penalize responsible, legal firearm owners. The cost of the registering all firearms in Canada, along with the mandatory possession licensing 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? Are you prepared to raise local taxes to pay for federal folly or lend your support to a user- - pay system that forces the responsible firearms owner to pay for a system that will accomplish nothing? The O.F.AH. is working hard to convince the Senate that the Justice Munster has erred in focusing Bill C-68 on reasonable, responsible citizens. Your Municipality's continued support in these efforts is again requested: send a message to the Senate that Bill C-68 is a costly mistake that should not be proclaimed law 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. Please consider the attached resolution at your next meeting, and send a message to the Senate~that~t~5~aw is not needed in Canada. Please call if you have any questions.

Council ReferenceJBack rq ound/History: At its meeting of June 22, 1995, the Commission considered the issue of "lap dancing" in adult entertainment parlours. At this meeting the Commission considered. a memorandum from Councillor l~yton dated May 23, 1995, regarding alleged unwanted sexual touching and sexual activity in adult entertainment parlours licensed by the Commission. In addition, the Commission received deputations from various interested persons including persons involved in the adult entertainment industry on the issue of enacting possible amendments to By-law No. 20-85 to regulate lap dancing. As a result of its deliberations on this matter, the Commission requested that draft amendments to Schedule 36 of By-law No. 20-85 be prepared by the Metropolitan Solicitor in respect of the following and forwarded directly to the Human Services Committee: (1) requiring that space must exist between patrons and entertainers during a performance, and that no touching of breasts and genitalia be permitted; (2) eliminating private enclosures within the licensed premises; and (3) defining the terms "burlesque", "touching" and "lap dancing". Further, the Commission requested that the Metropolitan Solicitor report directly to the Human Services Committee on the legality of the draft by-law amendments. Comments and/or Discussion: Background and Context: The term "lap dancing" is the term commonly used to describe the various forms of touching and sexual activity apparently occurring in adult entertainment parlours in Metropolitan Toronto. The regulation of lap dancing is amulti-jurisdictional and multi-agency issue involving federal, provincial, regional and local concerns. Such concerns include issues of federal criminal jurisdiction in respect of indecency and immorality, potential Provincial initiatives to regulate or ban lap dancing through liquor licensing or other regulations, and possible regional and local health and safety issues. Agencies involved include law enforcement agencies, licensing bodies, health agencies, and private advocacy groups. For the most part, sexual activity in public premises, such as adult entertainment parlours, has generally been regulated by means of the criminal law as an exercise of federal authority over matters of indecency, immorality and obscenity. The current controversy regarding lap dancing has arisen as result of a decision of His Honour Judge Hachborn of the Ontario Court (Provincial Division) dated February 10, 1994, in R. v. Mara (the "Hachborn decision") dismissing charges laid under the Criminal Code whereby it was alleged that indecent performances were being presented at an adult entertainment parlour. The performance in question involved dancers and customers participating in various degrees and forms of touching and sexual activity. In his reasons for decision, the learned trial judge purported to apply the test of community standards of tolerance set out in the 1993 decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Tremblay and #ound that the conduct in question was not indecent. The issue of community standards of tolerance has been considered by the courts on various occasions. While a full review of these decisions is beyond the scope of this report, it should be noted that in R. v. Tremblay, the court, in finding chat the conduct in that case was not indecent, considered it significant that that conduct did not involve touching. The Hachborn decision has been appealed by the Crown and is currently scheduled to be heard ly the Ontario Court of Appeal on September 17 and 18, 1995. The appeal was initially scheduled to be heard in December, 1995, but was expedited by the court on its own motion. As it is quite unusual for a court to take such action on its own motion, this suggests that the court itself is concemed that the issues be dealt with as expeditiously as possible. It appears from media reports and anecdotal evidence regarding the nature of the conduct aflegediy occurring in adult entertainment parlours that the prevalent view of the effect of the Hachborn decision is that in Ontario there are few, if any, restrictions on the type of conduct permissible in these premises. in this respect, it is important to note that the decision rendered by Judge Hachborn is one decision by a single trial court judge. This decision is not binding on other judges of the Provincial Court nor on the superior court levels in the Province. However, a decision of the Ontario Gourt of Appeal will be an authoritative and binding decision on the Provincial criminal courts, subject to further review by the Supreme Court of Canada. Given the non-binding nature of the Hachborn decision there does not appear to be any legal impediment to continuing to enforce the provisions of the Criminal Code where the circumstances warrant such enforcement. It is therefore recommended ihat this report be referred to the Chief of Police of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Service for infdrmation. Municipal Licensing Powers: ^ By section 225 of the Municipal Act, made applicable to Metropolitan Council by the provisions of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Act, Metropolitan Council may pass by-laws for licensing, regulating, governing, .classifying and inspecting adult entertainment parlours. Attached as Appendix "B" is a copy of this provision. A by-law passed under this authority must relate to the manner in which the business is carried on and should be an integrated part of a general licensing scheme directed at regulating that business. The primary concern in enacting a valid municipal, by-law regulating lap dancing is that its regulation may address issues of morality which are matters usually reserved for the criminal law, constitutionally within federal Jurisdiction. As a general proposition of law, a municipality cannot regulate morality in and of itself, and any colourable attempt to do so under the guise of a purported legitimate municipal jurisdiction will be likely subject to successful challenge. However, where the municipal regulation is legitimately and primarily concerned with matters of municipal jurisdiction, that regulation is not necessarily invalid solely because it regulates conduct also subject to criminal taw regulation. The courts have recognized that there can be an overlap in jurisdictions so long as the by-law in question is validly enacted for a legitimate provincial or municipal purpose regarding the regulation of a trade, calling, business or occupation and does not come into direct conflict with federal law. 9 There have been a number of cases where municipalities have attempted to regulate conduct which was also dealt with in the Criminal Code, including an unsuccessful attempt by Metropolitan Council itself to enact a by-law requiring that burlesque dancers wear a G-string while performing in adult entertainment parlours. In a large number of these cases the municipal enactment has been found to be invalid as an attempt to legislate in the area of public morality and thereby invading the federal criminal law jurisdiction. From these cases it is clear that where the subject matter of a municipal by-law overlaps with areas of federal jurisdiction that by-law must be supported by strong and cogent evidence to establish that the local concern to be addressed relates to the manner in which a permitted business carries on its activities, which is a traditional municipal jurisdiction. The rationale for the by- law must be clearly defined and supported by cogent evidence in order to survive a legal challenge to its validity. On the anecdotal evidence available regarding the type of conduct apparently occurring in adult entertainment parlours, it appears that this conduct may give rise to local health and safety concerns. Such concerns are matters of legitimate municipal licensing jurisdiction. As a result, ff clear and cogent evidence indicates that lap dancing does constitute a health or public safety concern, a by-law regulating it would be more supportable. '- However, as stated above, there must be proper evidence of these concerns. This is particularly so in the immediate circumstances where the possible municipal response is to a situation that has been created as a result of a criminal law decision which is currently under appeal to a court of criminal jurisdiction. A by-law of Metropolitan Council enacted in these circumstances may be viewed as an attempt to regulate in a field already regulated by the criminal law. At present, the available evidence is primarily anecdotal and better evidence is required to defend in court any' additional regulations that Metropolitan Council may adopt as part of the regulatory framework currently in place regarding adult entertainment parlours. While the accounts of persons involved in the adult entertainment industry are of assistance, evidence from persons~and agencies with expertise in the fields of sexually transmitted diseases and crime prevention in the context of sexual assault is required to establish a sound legal basis for further regulating adult entertainment parlours. Independent assessments of health and safety concerns by experts will provide a clearer and firmer basis for municipal action. In light of the foregoing analysis, it is recommended that the Metropolitan Licensing Commission, in consultation with the Legal Department, be requested to carry on further investigations to obtain clear and cogent evidence of the nature of the conduct occurring in adult entertainment parlours. I have been advised by the General Manager of the Metropolitan Licensing Commission that funds are available in the current Metropolitan Licensing Commission approved budget for the. retention of the experts discussed above. Amendments to Schedule 36 of By-law No. 20- On the basis of the foregoing comments, it is recommended that Schedule 36 to By-law No. 20-85 not be amended. at this stage. However, for completeness, the following responds to the Commission's specific requests for draft amendments: (1) In respect of the Commission's request for a draft amendment. prohibiting touching, the following wording may be appropriate: 10 1. No owner or operator shall, in respect of any adult entertainment parlour owned or operated by him, knowingly permit any attendant, while providing services as an attendant, to touch, or be touched by, any other person in any manner whatsoever involving any part of his or her body, including: (a) in the case of a female attendant, the breasts; and (b) in the case of either a male or female attendant, the pubic, area and buttocks. 2. No attendant shall, while providing services as an attendant, touch any other person in any manner whatsoever involving any part of his or her body, including: (a) in the case of a female person, the breasts; and (b) in the case of either a male or female person, the pubic area and buttocks. It should be noted that these draft provisions raise an additional concern of potential conflict with s.167 of the Criminal Code which reads as follows: 1. Everyone commits an offence who, being the lessee, manager, agent or person in charge of a theatre, presents or gives or allows to be presented or given therein an immoral, indecent or obscene performance, entertainment or representation. 2. Everyone commits an offence who takes part or appears as an actor, performer or assistant in any capacity, in an immoral, indecent or obscene performance, entertainment or representation in a theatre. These provisions prohibit indecent, immoral or obscene performances. By prohibiting touching in a performance, the draft amendment could be viewed as imposing a stricter standard than that set out in the Criminal Code which does not prohibit touching itself but rather prohibits indecency. This potential for conflict would be particularly a concern in the event that the appeal against the Hachbom decision is unsuccessful. In that event, the by-law would be prohibiting conduct that has been found by a superior court to be permissible under a criminal law provision addressing such conduct and could, as a result, be in direct conflict with that law. Consequently, further litigation may well follow. (2) In respect of the Commission's request for draft amendments requiring a distance requirement between the dancer and customer, the Legal Department requires further information regard(ng the manner in which performances are presented in adult entertainment parlours so as to draft the appropriate amendment. The specific difficulty is that it appears that forms of dancing, such as what is known as "table dancing", Involves the dancer performing close to the customer. The effect of a distance requirement on such forms of performance would have to be assessed before the by-law could be drafted so as to ensure that the proposed draft by-law is not open to legal challenge on the basis that it is overly broad. Where a by-law enacted to regulate particular conduct for a particular purpose in fact regulates a broader range of conduct than it is aimed at, it may be declared invalid where fts application goes beyond the particular purpose of the regulation. (3) In respect of the Commission's request for draft amendments eliminating private enclosures within licensed adult entertainment parlours, the Legal Department requires further information as to the nature and structure of these enclosures in order to draft an appropriate amendment. Private enclosures could range from separate rooms to booths of the type commonly found in most 11 restaurants and bars. As a result, more detailed information is required so as to ensure that any draft amendment is not overly broad and only addresses the types of enclosures giving rise to the problems under consideration. ~, (4) In respect of the Commission's request for a definition of "burlesque", that term is effectively defined in section 1 of Schedule 36 by its definition of the terms "Burlesque entertainer" and ~ "services". These definitions are attached as Appendix "C" hereto. -' (5) In respect of the Commission's request for definitions of "touching" and "lap dancing", the Legal Department requests direction as to the purpose of such definitions in order to provide appropriate draft definitions. .Conclusions: In order to ensure that the proposed regulation of lap dancing is not viewed as a colourable attempt to regulate morality and thereby possibly infringing on an area of federal Jurisdiction, it is recommended that the Metropolitan Licensing Commission, in consultation with the Metropoltan Solicitor, be requested to undertake further investigations to obtain clear and cogent evidence of the nature of the conduct occurring in adult entertainment parlours and to obtain independent expert assessments of the health and safety concerns associated with this conduct. Further it is recommended that Metropolitan Council delay further action with respect to enacting amendments regulating lap-dancing until such further investigations have been completed.. All actions necessary to complete such further investigations as quickly as possible will be undertaken by staff in order to provide a further report to the Metropolitan Licensing Commission and Council at the earliest opportunity possible. in view of the various jurisdictions involved in this issue, it is also recommended that this report be forwarded to the Chief of Police of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Service, Area Municipal Councils and the Provincial Ministers of Municipal Affairs and Consumer and Commercial Relations for information.

(The Metropolitan Council on August l6 and 17, 1995, had before it, during consideration of the foregoing Clause, the following report (August 14, 1995) from the Metropolitan Solicitor.• os This report responds to the request of the Human Services Committee (the "Committee ") made at its meeting held on July 31, 1995, for a further report from the Metropolitan Solicitor regarding discussions he was requested to undertake with owners of adult entertainment parlours and dancers regarding draft amendments to the licensing regulations to deal with lap dancing in adult entertainmentparlours, as well as responding to other requests from the Committee regarding possible regulation of lap dancing in adult entertainment parlours. Recommendation: It is recommended that this report be received for information. Council ReferencefBackgroimdfHistorv: At its meeting of July 31, 1995, the Committee considered the issue of lap dancing in adult entertainment parlours. At this meeting the Committee considered various reports and communications, including the report of the Metropolitan Solicitor, dated fitly 17, 1995. Li addition, tlse Committee received deputations from various interested persons including persons involved in the adult entertainment industry on the issue of enacting possible amendments to By-law No. 20-85 to regulate lap dancing. As a result of its deliberations ar this matter, the Committee directed that the Metropolitan Solicitor be requested to (i) discuss with both the owners of adult entertainment parlours and dancers, wording changes to the draft amendment to Scl:edule 36 of By-law No. 20-85 which might 6e mutually satisfactory to all parties, and report thereon directly to Council; (ii) submit to Council for its meeting of August 16, 1995, appropriate wording to amend Schedule 36 of By-law No. 20-85 that would eliminate private enclosures in adult entertainment parlours; and 18 (iii) meet with the appropriate Federal and Provincial Officials to determine what action needs to be taken to ban lap dancing and to report directly to Council at its meeting on August 16, 1995, with respect thereto. Further, the Committee recommended to Council that the Metropolitan Solicitor continue to assemble such evidence as outlined by the Carnmittee in a form necessary for the defence of the amendment to By-law No. 20-85 should it be challenged. ' Comments and/or Discussion andfor Justifieatio~i: (a) Efforts made to discuss draft licensing anmend-nents: In order to initiate and facilitate the discussions with owners and dancers requested by tl:e Committee, staff of the Legal Department provided to those persons for whom addresses were available, .copies of the minutes of the meeting of t/:e Committee of hely 31, 1995 and copies of nmy report dated July 17, 1995. These documents, along with a covering letter requesting submissions thereon, were provided by jai and where no fax number was available, by courier delivery. To date the responses received are letters from Ms Katharine Goldberg Association for Burlesque Entertainers, dated August 7, 1995, and Mr. Hennan Turkstra, counsel for the Ontario Adult Entertainment Bar, dated August 10, 1995. This correspondence is attached as Appendix "A ". Attached as Appendix "B " is a draft amendment to Schedule 36 to By-law No. 20-85 revised from the earlier proposed amendment. This revised amendment clarifies the wording and irmtent of the amendment. (b) Amendments to Schedule 36 to By-law No. 20-85 eliminati~ig private enclosures in adult entertainment parlours: As a result of its deliberations at its meeting on July 31, 1995, the Committee requested tf:at the Metropolitan Solicitor submit to Metropolitan Council at its meetir:g of August 16, 1995, appropriate wording to amend Schedule 36 to By-law No. 20.85 that would eliminate private encloscures in adult entertainment parlours. At present, I am not in a position to provide the draft amendment requested. In order to draft properly such an amendment, detailed information is required as to the physical layout of these premises and the nature and structure of these enclosures. This information is required to ensure tl:at army draft amendment is appropriate to deal with the structures in question and to ensure that it is neither overly narrow nor overly broad in temms of the purpose of the by-law amendment. IJ such amendment is too broad it may be subject to legal attaclG IJ it is too narrow, the objective of the proposed amendment would not be achieved. At present, while reports of the investigations by staff of tl:e Commission provide some information as to the nature and structure of these enclosures, these reports only address t/me physical structures in a smallproportion of the licensed adult entertainment parlours in Metropolitan Toramto and do not provide adequate detail as to the nature and structure of the enclosures. Without more comprehensive information regarding time physical set up of most iJ not all licensed adult entertainment parlours, 1 am not in a position to draft an amendment w/rich would, in fact, be applicable to the enclosures in question. Clearly, staff of the Metropolitan Licensing Commission will require additional time to provide this information. (c) Meeting with the appropriate Federal and Provincial Off cials to determine what action needs to be taken to ban lap dancing: 19 My staff have delivered copies of the minutes.of the meeting of the Committee of July 31, 1995, and copies of the report of the Metropolitan Solicitor of July 17, 1995, along with a request for a meeting to the Federal and Provincial Attorney's General, with copies to the Provincial Ministers of Municipal Affairs and Housing; and Consumer and Commercial Relations. Although no response to this request has been received to date, attached as Appendix "C " is a copy of a letter dated August 1, 1995, copied to the Metropolitan Chaimtan from the Honourable AI Leach, Mi-tister of Municipal Affairs and Housing; stating that "any additional authority provided by the Provi-tce to municipalities would have to 6e consistent with the constitutional limits on Provincial authority in criminal and morality matters." (d) Assembly of evidence as outlined by the Committee in a Jorm necessary for the defence of the amendment to By-law No. 20-85 should it 6e challenged: To assemble and assess the available evidence, my staff have reviewed the reports, communications and deputations considered both 6y the Committee at its meeting held on July 31, 1995, and 6y the Metropolitan Licensing Commission at its meeting held on June 22, 1995. In addition, my staff attended at adult entertainment parlours, met with a representative of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Service, and attended the August 3, 1995, meeting of the Board of Health of the City of Toronto, and have reviewed the reports, communications artd deputations considered at that meeting. Weth respect to public safety concerns arising from t/ie type of conduct purportedly occurring in adult entertainment parlours, both the Metropolitan Licensing Commission and the Committee heard deputations regarding anecdotal evidence of incidents giving rise to safety concerns. While anecdotal evidence is of assistance in a preliminary assessntertt of these concerns, clear and cogent evidence is required to support and defend a municipal licensing 6y-law regttlatirtg t/iis conduct. W/iile this infomtation may be available upon further investigation by staff of the Metropolitan Licensing Commission, possibly with the assistance of the Metropolitan Toro-tto Police and other parties, additiwtal time is required to obtain such clear and cogent evidence. With respect to ltealt/t concepts arising front the type of conduct purportedly occurring in adult entertainment parlours, the primary infomtation cturently available is a report dated July 10, 1995, from the Acting Medical Officer of Health to the Board of Health of the City of Toronto, and a letter dated June ~ 1995, from the Medical Officer of Health for t/ie Borough of East York to Ms. Katharine Goldberg While these reports are of assistance with respect to general concerns of sexually transmitted diseases, they do not link these concerns to catduct clearly identified as occurring in adult entertainment parlours. Further, it is a matter of concert: to n:e, based on the deputations made to the Committee, that the Medical Officers of Health do not appear to have taken steps under their goventirtg legislation to address or curtail the purported health risks. Under the Health Protection a-td Promotio-t Acti where a Medical Officer of Health is of the opinion that a contnturticable disease rttay exist and presents a Health ris>~ a variety of orders can 6e issued, including an order closing t/te premises. If the public authorities with specific legislative responsibility to act in response to ltealtlt risks ir: premises such as adult entertainment parlours do not act, but argue that such evidence is insufficient to exercise their authority, it is difficult for Metropolitan Council to rely on that same evidence to support a licensing regulation aimed at that conduct as a purported health risk. In other words, the purported health risks present in adult entertainment parlours are not sufficient to engage the Health Protection a-:d Prontotio-t Act, acrd t/terejore, weaken substantially argttntertts that licensing amendments are necessary to deal with such purported health risks. Conchrsions: Based on this review of the available evidence, it rentai-ts my opirtiat that there is at present insufficient evidence to support a nuuricipal regulation respecting physical contact between dancers and customers in adult 20 entertainment parlours. Without proper, cogent and independent evidence, it is my opinion that any proposed regulation of this conduct by Metropolitan Council is vulnerable to a st~ccessjul court challenge. As a result, 1 reiterate the analysis, conclusions and recommendations set out in my report of July 17, 1995.
