February 22, 1995 - Toronto -Townships and municipalities in Durham East will receive more
than$3.5 million to build and repair roads in the community,MPP Cord Mills announced today.
"This funding is extremely important to us,"Mr.Mills said. "Not only do these funds build roads,
they also put people to work and strengthen our community.
"Every million spent on construction creates 17 full-year jobs.That means, over the next 12 months,
the two levels of government--municipal and provincial -- will create some 12.000 jobs right across
the province from this funding alone."
These funds are a part of the provincial government's commitment of$704 million for municipal
roads across Ontario in 1995 and is in addition to the annual funding provided for provincial
highways. ,
The province is also investing$722 million to help municipalities make local improvements through
the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Works program.
The rovince provides funding assistance to 880 municipalities and First Nations to maintain
approximately 135 ,000 kilometres of urban and rural municipal roads: upgrade bridges and other
S and install traffic signals and control systems for the safe,efficient movement of traffic.
Of the$3.5 million,The Municipality of Clarington will receive$2,451,000.,the Township of
Seugog will receive $860,500. and Manvers Township tee$374,400.ait e provincial and bridges.
funding announced today will be used for construction
"The province recognizes the significance municipal roads have on our communities," said Mr. Mills.
"improving municipal roads also improves road safety and makes for a more efficient movement of
people and goods.'

Ms Patti L. Barrie
Clerk
Municipality of Clarington
40 Temperance St w
Bowmanville, ON L1C 3A6
Dear Ms Barrie:
As I have travelled the province during the°past few years, I have been struck by the
simmering sense of discontent of rural Ontarians with their government.
Sometimes it just churns along under-the surface, eating away at our confidence in
government to deal effectively-with the challenges we face. Sometimes it bubbles up
in full-blown anger.
Queen's Park are simply It's a sense that the politicians a t p y out of touch with small
town and rural Ontario. It's a frustration with a Toronto-centred government that
will inevitably address a Toronto problem by applying their ideologically-driven
"solution" to the whole province. It's the feeling that they just don't get it.
Nowhere is this disparity between the common sense of the,people and the actions of
their government more obvious than in regard to Bob Rae's Farm Union Bill. Bill 91,
The Agricultural Labour Relations Act, is aimed at the unionization of the family farm.
In a survey of Ontario farmers conducted by my caucus last summer, of the more
than 1,850 respondents, over 97% said that they did not support Bill 91. Less than
3% of farmers in our survey agreed with the NDP government, yet they used their
majority to force the bill through the Legislature.
This is just one example of the disconnection between the Ontario government today
and the people of rural Ontario. It does not have to be this way.
In May of 1994 I released the Common Sense Revolution, a comprehensive fiscal and
economic plan to create the necessary climate to create more than 725,000 new private
sector jobs in Ontario. It is a plan to rebuild Ontario; to bring jobs, prosperity and
hope to a province that should and can do so much better.
The highlights of this plan are as follows:
► a 30% cut in provincial income tax rates over three years, which will return a
job-stimulating $4,000 to the average household in the first three years alone;
/ 2
THE REPORT IS AVAILABLE IN THE CLERK'S DEPARTMENT.
2
► a 20% cut in non-priority government spending over three years; funding in
the areas of health care, law enforcement, and classroom education will not be
cut, although savings and efficiencies within these areas will be pursued;
► eliminating government barriers to job creation, investment, and economic
growth; this includes freezing Ontario Hydro rates for five years, repealing the
NDP labour legislation (Bills 40 and 91), and eliminating the Employer Health
Tax for small business;
► completely balancing the budget in four years.
The Common Sense Revolution outlines my party's commitment to Ontario. If you
have not yet seen a copy of this document, I encourage you to phone toll free
1-800-903-6453 and we will send a copy to you.
While I am convinced that our plan will make Ontario great again and make us once
again a magnet for investment, growth and jobs, my caucus colleagues and I are
equally committed to ensuring that rural and small town Ontario shares in the new
prosperity, growth and jobs.
The enclosed document deals more specifically with the issues of particular
importance to rural Ontario. This document is the result of more than a year-of
speaking with and listening-to Ontarians across the province. Business people,
farmers, local councillors and many others have offered their advice and suggestions
about their priorities.
We are fully committed to the ideas and initiatives put forward in this document.
We don't have all the answers, and we need your advice and input on the best ways
to achieve the goals that have been set out,but we are committed to the goals. You
have my word that I will always put common sense ahead of ideology. I believe that
the ideas outlined in this document are just common sense. They don't belong only
to me or to my caucus colleagues, they belong to the hard working, common sense
people of rural Ontario.
I welcome your advice on the implementation of the initiatives in this plan, and I
encourage you to share this document with your colleagues and friends. As we
approach a provincial election, I believe it is crucial for all Ontarians to know where
the three parties stand on the issues of importance to rural and small town Ontario.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Harris, MPP
Leader

Tories' platform has strong farm appeal
By Mlke ftWxlee Record staff
Provincial Conservative leader
Mike Harris's task force report on
rural economic development is likely
to be popular both among farm lead-
ers and rank-and-file farm voters.
The 25-page document contains a
rift of promises that are high on
many farmers' wish lists. Agricul-
ture is be spared from the program
dtrd staffing cuts envisioned by the
Tories on their four-year path
towards a balanced budget, match-
ing a promise made by Liberal
10ader Lyn McLeod when she
recently unveiled her party's agri-
cultural platform.
"OMAFRA(the Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs) has taken more than its
share of program cuts," the Tory
document states. "Under a Mike
Harris government, agriculture
will regain its fair share of govern-
ment support. That is why there
are NO cuts to agricultural pro-
FARM �i
SCENE
grams in our policy plan."
Government intrusion in labor
relations would be less of a concern
under a Harris government. The
Tories pledge to restore agricul-
ture's exemption to the Ontario
Labor Relations Act, as well as
scrapping both Bill 40 and Bill 91,
the Agricultural Labor Relations
Act.
The policy book also lays to rest
farmer fears that the farm property
tax rebate might be scrapped by a
new government.Like the Liberals,
the Tories have pledged to retain
the rebate until reform of Ontario's
property tax system is complete.
The Tories promise to freeze
Ontario Hydro rates for five years,
and to eliminate the "overregula-
tion" of agricultural chemicals so
that chemicals approved at the fed-
eral level can be used in Ontario
without separate provincial
approval. -
Alternative forms of agriculture
get thumbs up from the Harris
Tories, as do alternative uses for
existing crops. A Tory government
would introduce an Agricultural
Industry Diversification Act, to
encourage opportunities and rev-
enues from such exotic species as
deer,emu and ostrich.
A 15-year road tax exemption for
the ethanol, produced by Commer-
cial Alcohols at the proposed
Chatham ethanol plant, would also
be maintained.
Woodlot operators will be heart-
ened by the Tory pledge to main-
tain the Managed Forest Tax
Rebate until the property tax sys-
tem is reformed.
Some of the policies in the Tory
KI TCHENER-WATERLOO RECORD
November 19, 1994
proposals may well look better on
paper than they will in practice,
however.
A promise to freeze minimum
wage levels in Ontario"until other
jurisdictions catch up." will play
well with fruit and vegetable grow-
ers and other producers who need
to hire help.
Spouses who are reliant on off
farm income from service sector
jobs in restaurants or retail will be
less enamored with the lack of
raises that a minimum wage freeze
would likely ensure through the
life of a Harris government.
Exempting licensed farm vehi-
cles from Ontario's graduated
licensing legislation, as the Tories
propose, could also lead to some
problems, depending on how
widely they intend to interpret a
change that would allow a"16-year-
old full driving privileges on a
vehicle registered and being used
for farm purposes."
The common-sense approach
Harris purports to espouse would
recognize the safety concerns that
led to the legislation in the first
place, and propose a partial exemp-
tion.

Farmers have been hurt
enough, says Harris
Ontario Conservative leader poetises not to cut
agriculture spending i f he is elected premier
By BERNARD TOBIN
ommon sense.means
spending cuts, but not
when it comes to agricul-
ture,says provincial Conservative
leader Mike Harris.
With a provincial election call
expected early in the new year,
Harris is hitting the campaign
trail determined to trim$6 billion
from the provincial budget,cut-
ting spending from$55 billion to
$49 billion.
"Unlike the other parties, my
promises are to spend less not
more,"Harris says.
But farmers will not be on the
chopping block. Harris says ag-
riculture has suffered enough.
Since 1991,agricultural spending
has shrunk from$600 million to
under $500 million, and now
makes up less than one per cent
of provincial spending.
"What we're saying is that the
amount going to administration
is too much. We're prepared to
cut, but that money..will be re-
invested" in programs farmers
need and want,Harris says.
The Hands Task Force on Ru-
ral Economic Development says
farmers want better safety net
programs, a greater say in land
use planning, tax reform, non-
unionized farms, and stronger
right-to-farm legislation.
Harris says he will support a
whole farm support program,
modeled on the current Net In-
come Stabilization Account
Harris:vows to repeal Bill 91
(NISA)program and move to cor-
rect inequities in the GRIP pro-
gram,which produce lower sup-
port prices for farmers in Ontario
compared to farmers in other
provinces.
Hands says this problem can be
solved by increasing GRIP cov
erage to 85 per cent. But in an
election platform built with no
spending planks, where will he
get the money?Harris is commit-
ted to squeezing the administra-
tion, but as a last resort, "if we
can't find efficiency in the bu-
reaucracy,we'll have to increase
the budget,"Harris says.
Overall, most of the problems
that farmers have with govern-
ment are not the result of the ag-
riculture ministry, Harris says.
"Ninety-nine per cent of the prob-
lems that farmers and farm or-
ganizations are describing have
nothing to do with the ministry.
Other ministries have far more
clout, which makes life diffi-
cult for farm-based industry."
Harris says it's time to give
agriculture more weight at the
Cabinet table, and help farm-
ers get on with business.
Part of the solution would be
stronger right-to-farm legislation.
Harris says he will amend the
Farm Practices Protection Act so
farmers can operate without fear
of complaints arising from the
NDP's Environmental Bill of
Rights.
Harris is committed to a ma-
jor overhaul of the Farm Tax Re-
bate program. The existence of
any form of a rebate is an admis-
sion that the assessment program
is unfairly assessing farmland,he
says.Until a solution is found,tW.
rebate will be maintained.
Harris spoke bluntly when
asked about his plans for the NDP
farm labour legislation."We will
repeal Bill 91 and restore agricul-
ture's exemption."

The Municipality of Clarington
Mayor Diane Hamre
40 Temperance Street
Bowmanville, Ont. L1C 3A6
Dear Mayor Hamre,
The Winter 195 issue of our national publication - KIN Magazine
is one of the largest issues ever produced in our Association's
75-year history. The reason for its unusual size is due in part to
the fact that our approximately 900 Kinsmen and Kinette clubs
across Canada are involved in a wide variety of projects designed
to benefit their communities, their provinces and their country
However, the size of the Winter 195 KIN Magazine is also due in
large part to a very encouraging response to our request for
"Messages-of-Support" from the communities and provinces our clubs
serve.
The total number of "Messages-of-Support" was down slightly from
last year. However, despite the continuation of tough economic
times in most areas of Canada, 80 communities and provincial
ministries considered our members' contributions worthy of placing
a 75th anniversary "Message-of-Support."
On behalf of Kinsmen & Kinette Clubs of Canada and our more than
13,000 members across the country, we want to extend a very
special "thank you" to you for placing a "Message-of-Support" this
year and thereby acknowledging the valuable work of Kinsmen and
Kinettes both locally and throughout Canada. Your financial and
moral support during this very difficult economic period are
sincerely appreciated. It's encouraging to know that our members'
many hours of community service work and the monetary
contributions from our thousands of fund-raising projects that
last year raised more than $22.2 million nationally were
appreciated by so many towns, villages, municipalities and
Is
provincial governments.
Kinsmen and Kinettes are proud of the fact that all the money
raised by our clubs remains in the community. (None of the money
we raise goes to offset the cost of running our national
Association.) The Kinsmen and Kinette National Headquarters, which
provides a wide variety of programs and support services to our
approximately 900 Kinsmen and Kinette clubs, is funded entirely by
our members' annual dues. So you can see that the financial
support your "Message-of-Support" provides helps to keep
sk membership dues down, making it easier for your

As a small token of our appreciation for your support during our
75th anniversary year, we will be sending you a one-year
subscription to KIN Magazine, which we encourage you to place in a
suitable location, such as a reception area. Kinsmen and Kinettes

MAYOR'S OFFICE
FINAL PHASE OF FUNDING FOR PARTICIPATION IN
THE NUCLEAR FUEL WASTE MANAGEMENT
AND DISPOSAL CONCEPT REVIEW AGENDA
OTTAWA - February 15, 1995 - The federal government will provide up to
$210,000 to public participants in the environmental assessment of the Nuclear
Fuel Waste Management and Disposal Concept. These funds, part of the final
phase of the funding program, will supplement the $540,000 previously allocated
in Phases I and II of the programme. Application for financial assistance is open to
new candidates as well as those who previously applied. An independent
environmental assessment panel is now conducting the public review of the
concept which proposes the disposal of used nuclear fuel deep in the hard rock of
the Canadian Shield.
The funds will assist participants to review the Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS), as well as prepare for and participate in the public hearings of the panel. The
EIS is a document prepared by the proponent, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited,
which describes the concept and its potential environmental, social and economic
effects.
The allocation of funds will be made on the basis of applications received at the
Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) no later than March 30,
1995. A funding administration committee, independent from the panel, will
review applications and recommend the allocation of funds to eligible applicants in
accordance with published criteria. Successful applicants will be required to sign
an agreement with the Agency, under which expenditures may be subject to audit.
While the Environmental Assessment and Review Process (EARP) has been
replaced by a new process under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act,
this review will continue under the EARP until its completion.

Dear Mr. Stockwell:
At the February 22, 1995 Full Authority meeting, the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority
approved the 1995 levy of$403,560.00. This is a zero percent increase in the overall.general
levy from last year's figure. Given that our Conservation Authority must apportion this general
levy to each of our watershed municipalities based on discounted equalized assessment, the
actual levy decrease to your municipality in 1995 is 0.49%.
As required by Section 26 of the Conservation Authorities Act, 1983 as amended, you are
hereby notified that the portion of the general levy .chargeable to your municipality is
$144,946.66. This will be payable in two installments; the first installment invoice is enclosed
and is due April 15, 1995.
Approval of the Conservation Authority's 1995 Final Budget has been deferred until guidelines
have from the Ministry of Natural Resources are released. We will forward a copy of the
ILI approved budget to you as soon as it is available. Should you have any questions, please feel
free to call our office.

Joint Report No. 95-J- 1 Page 2
REPORT
HIGHLIGHTS
• The Greater Toronto Area, of which Region of Durham is an integral part, will
receive substantial growth.
• Growth in Durham is expected to increase from 15% of the GTA population
(1991) to 21% (2021) to a total of one million people. Significant increases in
employment are also expected.
• The Province and Region have adopted a strong vision for growth which is
based on a series of nodes and corridors. The Region has developed an urban
structure where substantial growth will occur in the Whitby/Oshawa/Courdce
Urban Area
• The 400 series expressways represent the highest order road network which
binds the GTA together and connects it to the global economy.
• Highway 407 is currently under construction in Peel and York Regions but will
stop at Highway 48. No decision has been made on the extension of Highway
407 into Durham Region.
• Limited road capacity and high levels of congestion on Durham's western
boundary are isolating the Region and eastern Ontario from the rest of the
GTA.
IL
• All urban components of the GTA require a complete range of infrastructure to
foster balanced live/work communities and enable ongoing economic growth to
occur.
• The economic viability of Durham and the GTA are critical to compete in global
markets.
Durham already offers significant assets through the provision of serviced land,
skilled labour force and extensive business complexes.
• The establishment of the Rouge Park in order to protect this important natural
resource has resulted in transportation decisions which reduce options for the
integration of Durham with the rest of the GTA.

Joint Report No. 95-1-1 Page 3
The extension of Highway 407 eastward from Highway 48 throw h the Region
• gh y sh y � s, si
of Durham to connect with Highway 401 in Courtice, is the Region's highest
transportation priority. Its development as a toll facility would complement
similar actions to the west and support partnerships with labour and the private
sector.
• The early development of Highway 407 will complete the expressway network
thereby supporting existing residents and businesses, and generating significant
new growth as called for in the GTA Vision.
• Subsequent future staging of links in the Regional Road 23 corridor and
eastward to Highway 35/115 are compatible with this action.
• The Province is requested to immediately expedite the development of 8ighway
407 to ensure the continued growth and competitiveness of the GTA.
1. Backeround
1.1 The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is to be developed as an urban system.of nodes
and corridors, tied together by a transportation grid. The 400 series highways,
particularly Highway 401, are the main connecting elements of the GTA.
Highway 407 is an integral component of this transportation grid. It will become
the next main element of the GTA, linking together the rapidly developing Regions
of Peel, York and Durham as well as linking the GTA to the rest of Ontario and
X, the United States of America.
1.2 Significant growth is predicted to occur within the GTA over the next 30 years and
beyond. Much of this growth will occur in major nodes in the Regions
surrounding Metro. Durham will accommodate an increasing share of this growth.
Unless the necessary infrastructure is provided, and especially Highway 407,
Durham and the GTA as a whole, will not achieve their growth objectives or be
well connected to the wider markets of Ontario and the United States of America.
1.3 Only a portion of Highway 407 is committed for construction. Presently
construction is under way in the western and central portions of the GTA (Peel and r
York Regions). It is expected to be completed to Highway 48 in York Region by
1998. The construction of this portion of Highway 407 will create significant
traffic congestion problems at the Highway 48 terminus, as Highway 407 traffic is
funnelled directly onto the existing road network. In order to address this issue
3
Joint Report No. 95-J-1 Page 4
a nd complete� th is vi
tal link in the transportation grid, Highway 407 should be
completed and extended further eastward to link with Highway 401 cast of the
City of Oshawa and ultimately connect with Highway 35/115.
1.4 The Ministry of Transportation is currently undertaking studies, in accordance with
the Environmental Assessment Act, with respect to the development of Highway
407 in the Region of Durham. Although this complex process is moving forward,
a final decision has not been made by the Minister of Environment and Energy.
ab The next step entails the development of preliminary design work which will
enable the Minister to consider the approval of the Environmental Assessment.
The technically-preferred alignment has, however, been incorporated in the
approved Durham Regional Official Plan, following extensive consultation with the
Province and area municipalities.
1.5 The urgent need for Highway 407 in Durham has been the subject of a number of
studies and reports presented to Regional Council and the Provincial Government.
Most recently, Regional Council, through Commissioner's Report No. 94-J-8,
endorsed a presentation titled "The Bottom Line" on the implementation of an
expressway network'in Durham (Report available in the Planning and Works
Departments). This previous presentation will be combined with the contents of
this Joint Report, to form a package for a presentation to the Premier, the Minister
of Transportation and the Minister Responsible for the Greater Toronto Area.
k,
1.6 From Durham's perspective, the extension of Highway 407 is particularly urgent
due to the lack of transportation linkages between Durham and Metropolitan
Toronto/Region of York. Durham, and as a result eastern Ontario, currently has a
total of 16 lanes of road access across the Metro boundary and 4 lanes of road
access in the southern portion of the Region of York. By comparison, York has
190 lanes and Peel has 104 lanes of access across the Metro boundary. The
opportunities for additional road access into the rest of the GTA from Durham is
extremely limited. Currently, Durham identifies the possibility for 20 more lanes
of road access across the Metro/York boundary south of Highway 7; however,
recent decisions by the Province have eliminated 8 of these critical lanes of access
and their related potential transit service.
1.7 The construction of this important Provincial facility greatly influences the amount
and location of growth in the GTA. The economic spin-offs are extremely
important. It is now appropriate to build on the growth management initiatives of
4
Joint Report No. 954- 1 Page 5
the Province and Region by succinctly articulating the case for a commitment to
the extension of Highway 407 through Durham.
2. Growth Management
2.1 The Greater Toronto Area is expected to grow from the present population of
approximately 4.2 million to 6.7 million over the next 30 years. In addition,
employment opportunities are expected to increase from 2.3 million to 3.8 million
over this time period. The majority of this growth is to take place in the Regions
surrounding Metropolitan Toronto. Durham is expected to double its population to
almost one million by the year 2021. However, these growth expectations do not
take into account limitations created by Provincial policy decisions or existing
infrastructure deficiencies.
2.2 The most recent provincial initiative dealing with broad-scale growth management
has been through the Office of the Greater Toronto Area. From this initiative, a
consensus has been reached on a nodal growth concept for the GTA. Exhibit 'A' .
shows the major and intermediate nodes in relation to urban areas for the eastern
portion of the GTA.

2.3 This nodal concept is directed to achieving equitable population and employment
growth and reducing urban sprawl. A balance between population and
employment will enhance the quality of life in all parts of the GTA by promoting
self-sustaining communities and will avoid the polarization of urban development
in the GTA, with Metro as an employment centre, and the surrounding Regions
merely functioning as bedroom communities. Transportation decisions must be
tied to land use objectives in order to achieve this concept.
2.4 A strategy to effectively accommodate and manage anticipated growth in Durham
is based on the GTA endorsed nodal concept and is further defined in the approved
Regional Official Plan. Development in the Region is based on the principle of
distinct urban areas with significant growth being concentrated in the
Whitby/Oshawa/Courtice Urban Area. Due to the historic growth patterns,
development has been committed on most of the land along the Highway 401
corridor. As a result, much of the future development will be in the northern
portion of these urban areas and will rely on the Highway 407 corridor to sustain
growth.
2.5 The Durham Regional Official Plan recognized the fundamental.change in the
structure of the Canadian and GTA economies, from being a goods producing
sector to a service based sector. The expansion and diversification of Durham's
economy is required to create more balanced live-work communities. In order to
achieve provincial population and employment targets, Durham will require a
significant impetus to achieve this objective. By both improving access to external
markets and developing job opportunities that take advantage of Highway 407,
employment can be effectively increased to balance the anticipated population
growth in Durham. Furthermore, this infrastructure investment would take
advantage of a number of important attributes which Durham offers. These
include a number of existing industrial complexes, a serviced industrial land
supply, an existing highly-trained work force and proximity to markets. Highway
407 will also strengthen existing business opportunities presently utilizing the
Highway 401 corridor, such as the General Motors "Just in-Time" operation, by
providing a new alternative to access the GTA and provincial markets.
2.6 Significant growth will occur in the central growth node of the Region. Population
in this node is expected to increase from approximately 200,000 to 500,000 by
2021. Significant Living Area and Employment Area lands are identified. Large-

Joint Report No. 95-J- 1 Page 7
scale private and public sector investments have been made in this area including
major health facilities (Oshawa General Hospital), education facilities (Durham
College), commercial facilities (Oshawa Centre), transit and air facilities (GO
Transit and Oshawa Airport), and provincial and municipal government offices are
located in this area. The development of major local and provincial road facilities
including Highway 407 is required to optimize these investments.
2.7 Also, Durham has and will continue to make major infrastructure investments,
especially in the provision of regional roads, water supply and sanitary sewage
facilities, including the potential development of a new water pollution control
plant in South Courtice, in response to and in anticipation of growth. These
investments have been structured to provide a variety of options for directing
growth, including intensification of existing built-up areas. However, these
h.
infrastructure commitments, particulary water supply and sanitary sewerage, will
not be efficiently utilized, unless the appropriate transportation infrastructure is
also in place to support growth.
2.8 The achievement of Provincial and Regional growth management objectives,
however, will be difficult without the development of adequate transportation
services. An under-performing Durham will have a negative impact on the
achievement of the GTA Vision and prosperity.
3. Evolving Policy Directions
3.1 An effective transportation system throughout the GTA is critical to the
development and prosperity of Ontario, the GTA and Durham Region. The
Durham Regional Official Plan, through its transportation objectives, promotes a
balanced road and transit system by establishing a grid road network to maximize
the efficient movement of people and goods. The Plan also recognizes that the
appropriate form, density and arrangement of uses on lands adjacent to the
transportation network is necessary for an efficient urban system. Recognizing that
not all areas of the Region are served by transit and that there is a high degree of
dependence of goods movement on the expressway system, the Region promotes
the highest level of service on the major arterial grid system. This system, when
integrated with an appropriate expressway system, will handle the traffic demands
of the individual urban areas, as well as traffic between the nodes and along the
corridors of the GTA.
7
Joint Report No. 954- 1 Page 8
3.2 In March 1990, the Minister of Natural Resources announced, in conjunction with
the establishment of the Rouge Park, that there would be no new roads permitted
across the Rouge Valley south of Steeles Avenue. While the Region has supported
the development of a park to protect this natural resource, it has objected to the
transportation aspects of this announcement. Notwithstanding, the Rouge Park
Management Plan was adopted by the Province in May 1994. This decision
IL
eliminates the Lawrence Avenue/Bayly Street and Finch Avenue/Rossland Road
arterial road connections across the Rouge Valley between Metropolitan Toronto
and Durham Region. This action drastically reduces the Region's potential arterial
road access to the rest of the GTA, while not addressing the well documented need
for these links.
3.3 In tandem with the decision on the Rouge Park, the Province initiated a "Strategic
Transportation Review of the Northeast Metro, Southeast York and West Durham
Area". To date, this study has not been completed and its current direction is not
structured to respond to the implications of the Rouge Park announcements by
providing appropriate transportation solutions.
3.4 Furthermore, in the last few years, Metropolitan Toronto, the Regions of York and
Durham all prepared new official plans. Durham's transportation system identifies
the necessary links with Metropolitan Toronto. In the approval of the Durham
Plan, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs deferred the approval of the connecting
links with Metro. Neither the York nor the Metro Toronto Official Plan contained
transportation provisions which complemented Durham's objectives for the
development of a grid road pattern between Durham and the rest of the GTA. The
Ministry of Municipal Affairs, in its recent approval of the York Region Official
Plan, added a policy which identifies support for co-ordinated transportation
planning across municipal boundaries. The Metro Plan also did not identify road
connections to Durham which reflects the Provincial decision against further
crossings of the Rouge Valley. The recent approval of the Metro Plan by the
Province contains deferrals-of portions of the transportation schedules in response
to Durham's concerns. Exhibit 'B' illustrates the limited road connections across
the Metro/York boundary.
3.5 The impact of these decisions is increasing the difficulty for Durham Region to
achieve its policy objectives for growth and economic expansion, within the
context of the GTA Vision. Durham's share of future population growth in the
GTA is projected to increase from 15% to 21%, while Metro's share is to decline
and York and Peel's rates are to remain constant. Significant increases in
8
Durham's employment base is also predicted. These~grojections will not be
achieved unless the transportation deficiencies are addressed. All regions must
perform at a level which will ensure the GTA is competitive in world marloets.
3.6 Notwithstanding these growth projections, a situation has been created where
Durhazn is becoming increasingly isolated from the rest of the GTA. Severe and
growing congestion is being experienced as more people and businesses attempt to
use the limited cross-boundary opportunities. Congestion of the magnitude
presently being experienced, without any committed solutions, is placing Durham
at a competitive disadvantage relative to the other Regions in the GTA. Bvea
though development opportunities exist in Durham, businesses and people who
need quick access to the rest of the GTA are willing to locate at even greater
distances from Metro, due to the availability of transportation services. Of even
f
9

Joint Report No. 95-J- 1
Page 10
greatec concern to the entire GTA economy is that increased congestion within the
GTA makes competing locations in the American and world market more
attractive.
3.7 Congestion is also impacting the development of lands adjacent to major
transportation facilities. Major east-west arterial roads,- such as Highway 2 and
Taunton Roads are becoming congested serving cross-boundary travel. This has
forced the Region to lunit access to these arteries to address the "spill-over" travel
demand to the detriment of their municipal arterial road function. This action
conflicts with land use intensification objectives to provide a more pedestrian-
friendly and transit supportive urban environment. As long as the cross-boundary
travel demand cannot be accommodated by an expressway grid, the conflict
between travel demand and land development will continue to escalate. The
extension of Highway 407 will provide the additional opportunities to consider
transit priority and other high occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities on the major
east-west arterials which are presently providing inter-regional travel capacity.
4. luti ns
4.1 In response to the Provincial GTA policy initiatives. Durham Region has taken the
position that there are critical economic, transportation and land use issues which
should be addressed to form part of an integrated GTA land use and infrastructure
policy statement. Solutions will undoubtedly require partnerships between all
levels of government, the private sector and the public to be successful
4.2 The immediate extension of Highway 407 across Durham to link with Highway
401 in the vicinity of Courtice Road is the Region's highest transportation priority.
This extension is detailed in Section 5 of this Report. In addition,. the following
economic, land use and infrastructure initiatives are also essential to achieve the
GTA Vision and Durham Regional Official Plan:
• the continued development of the urban nodal structure as defined in the
Durham Regional Official Plan with emphasis on the development of the
Whitby/Oshawa/Courtice Regional centre;
• the development of a western anchor including Seaton and a new airport facility
in Pickering to complete the growth expectations of the western urban node of
the Region;
10
,~
Joint Report No. 95-J- 1 Page 11
• the development of a complementary arterial road grid system with interchanges
at Highway Nos. 401 and 407 for new growth areas;
• the continued investment in the widening of Highway 401 through Durham to
Oshawa;
• the widening of arterial roads and specifically Taunton Road to four lanes
between Ajax and Clarington and increased provisions for improved transit
priority/HOV lanes;
• the continued development of water and sewer infrastructure to support growth;
• the develo went of com lemen cultural health and communi facilities and

services;
• the strengthening of community economic development initiatives;
• the improvement of municipal transit service and the provision of an integrated
inter-municipal transit service within Durham and linking it to the rest of the
GTA; and
• the upgrading of the level of service on the Lakeshore East GO Line including
the coordination of bus services to the GO system from the north and east;
The Region will continue to pursue these essential initiatives.

5.1 On April 8, 1994, the Province of Ontario announced the selecrion of Canadian
Highway International Corporation as the private sector partner to build Highway
407 from Highway 403 in Peel to Highway 48 in York. This initiative should be
complemented by a commitment to the implementation of Highway 407 eastward
from Highway 48 to link with Highway 401 in the vicinity of Courticx Road
(Regional Road 34) in the Municipality of Clarington (see Exhibit 'C').

5.2 The construction of Highway 407 as shown above is absolutely critical to
continued economic growth of Durham and the GTA. This facility would:
• facilitate the structured growth in employment and population as detailed in the
GTA Vision and the Durham Regional Official Plan including support for the
development of a major urban centre in the Whitby/Oshawa/Courtice area;
• accommodate the inter-regional movement of goods to support existing business
opportunities in maintaining a competitive position in the GTA;
• allow continued growth and support existing economic activities in the Region;
• provide access and necessary exposure to Highway 407 as part of the controlled
access highway system to stimulate the development of new business
opportunities;
• provide additional access to the remainder of the GTA for the use of local and
long distance commuters;

• facilitate transit priority services and programs on arterial roads and particularly
major east-west arterials, such as Taunton Road and Highway 2, which will
support a more pedestrian-friendly land use structure. Improved tivelwork
relationships will also develop; and
• allow the staged developtnent of future components of the 407 system in the
Regional Road 23 corridor and extending further east to Highway 3511 i5.
5.3 'The implementation of this facility will require the cooperation of a large number
of stakeholders. The Region will assist in coordinating activities to allow
construction to proceed as early as possible. In addition, partnerships with labour
and the private sector, including the application of tolls, should be considered .Of
critical importance, however, is the leadership role the Province can play in
expediting this critical project,
5.4 The achievement of Provincial and Regional objectives will require the early
extension of Highway 407 into Durham. The building of such an important
transportation infrastructure will "seed" shared economic growth, well into the next
century.

REPORT
1. Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this report is:
to present the Transportation Association of Canada's report entitled "A New
Vision for Urban Transportation" and;
to deal with the two items of correspondence related to this briefing.
2. Background
2.1 The Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) (formerly the Roads and
Transportation Association of Canada (RTAC), is a national non-profit, non-
partisan association. TAC indicates its mission is to promote the provision of safe,
2B
Commissioner's Report No. 95-P-13
Page 2
efficient, effective and environmentally-sustainable transportation services in
support of Canada's social and economic goals. Also, TAC indicates its role is to
act as a forum for the discussion of transportation issues, and to act as a technical
focus in the highway transportation azea. .
2.2 In May 1992, TAC published a document indicating traffic congestion in major
urban azeas was resulting in pollution, lost time and a lower quality of life. The
challenge, as stated in that document, was to reach an agreement on a common
vision of what future urban azeas should be like, and how they should function. A
copy of this document is available from the Planning Department.
2.3 In March 1993, TAC produced a report entitled "A New Vision For Urban
Transportation", as the next step in the process of developing a generic urban
transportation vision suitable for medium and large urban areas (refer to
Attachment No. 1). This urban vision includes:
multi-use, high density central azeas and mixed uses along connecting
corridors;
compact mixed use communities based on pedestrian, cycling and transit-
. friendly design;
planned and coordinated transit, highways, arterials, pazking and truck routes
across the urban area;
an increasing percentage of trips made by walking, cycling, transit and high
occupancy automobiles;
a decreasing peak hour commuter travel distance and time;
an azea-wide pazking strategy;
reduced on-street goods transfer;
access for physically handicapped to public transportation services;
roads and bridges in a good state of repair;
2g
r
Commissioner s Report No. 95-P- 13
declining air pollution from motor vehicles;
adequate funding for transportation infrastructure and services; and
support from awell-informed public.
Page 3
2.4 On August 22, 1994, the Region of Durham received a communication from the
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto indicating that it:
• endorsed the principles embodied in the document entitled "A New Vision for
Urban Transportation", recognizing that the Metropolitan Official Plan
generally reflects these principles;
• urged councils of the area municipalities within Metropolitan Toronto, and
other municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), to similarly endorse
the principles in this document and reflect these in their official plans;
• urged the Province to take a leadership role in ensuring that the principles
contained in the "Vision" document are reflected in planning processes and
implementation programs at all levels of government in the GTA; and
• urged both the Federal and Provincial Governments to initiate complementary
initiatives within their respective jurisdictions (refer to Attachment No. 2).
2.5 On January 11, 1995, the Region of Durham received a communication from the
City of Burlington indicating general endorsement of the document titled "A New
Vision in Urban Transportation". The City of Burlington, also advised that certain
actions contained in the document require further examination before spec
actions can be fully endorsed (refer to Attachment No. 3).
3. Comments
3.1 The thrust of TAC is that the concepts developed in the 1950's for urban form and
transportation are no longer supportable. These concepts have created low density
suburban sprawl resulting in more and longer work trips and lower vehicle
occupancy levels. This is causing severe congestion in major urban areas.

Commissioner's Report No. 95-P- 18 Page 4
3.2 The Durham Regional Official Plan contains a vision for major urban areas similar
to the "New Vision For Urban Transportation" as described by TAC, for those
areas of regional responsibility. The Durham Regional Official Plan encourages
changes in urban structure and transportation, and a more balanced live-work
relationship, in order to achieve an urban form and transportation system to reduce
congestion.
3.3 The correspondences related to TAC's document, "A New Vision for Urban
Transportation", should be received for information and a copy of this report sent
to the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, the City of Burlington, the
Transportation Association of Canada, and the Area Municipalities in Durham.

BRIEFING
Association des transports du Canada March 1993
A NEW VISION FOR URBAN TRANSPORTATION
t
In May, 1992 the TAC Urban Transportation Council published a brleffng titled CREATING A COMMON VISION -THE UR-
BAN MOBILITY CHALLENGE. n described the pollution, frustration and waste that accompanies much of today's un~an
transportation, and reviewed various technical actions which are being proposed b deal with the problems of congestion. -t
concluded that the fundamental problem is not lechn~al but Institutional in nature: the many players in each urban area
need to create and agree upon one common vision of what their urban area will look like in the luture and how it will func-
tion. Only then can decision makers plan, land and deliver the necessary transportation systems.
This briefing is the next step in the process. It proposes a generic urban transportation vision suitable for any large or me-
dium sized urban area in Canada. The vision is supported by a series of pnnciples which point the way to desirable future
change. Each principle lists several sample methods or examples of how that change could be achieved. Each urban area
can create its own unique vision by adapting the principles to local conditions.
This brie>ing has been prepared as a service of the Urban Transportation Coundl, to serve as a focal point for national de-
bate on this subject of importance b us all. It is based on extensitre Inputs and round table discussion by Council members.
It does not necessarily represent the ofBda/ views or polities of the Transportation Association of Canada.
CURRENT TRENDS ARE LEADING TO URBAN TRANSPORTA7lO1V SYSTEMS WHICH DO NOT MEET NEEDS AND ARE
NOT SUSTAINABLE..
Urban areas exist to serve the eco-
nomic and social needs of their resi-
dents. Transportation is essential to
meet those needs because it both
serves and helps shape urban devel-
opment.
The wealth of nations is largely gener-
ated in cities and will become more so
in the new high technology, information
based, globally competitive economies
of the future. Urban transportation sys-
tams will have to be very productive,
effiaent, cost effective and accessible
to allow cities to generate the wealth
needed for quality of life Improvements,
social services, infrastructure, environ-
mental protection and transportation lt-
self. To achieve that goal will require
new approaches to land use, urban de-
sign, transportation planning and fi-
nancing. Continuation of current trends
will not work.
Land Use and Urban Design
Past practice has been to divide cities
into homogeneous, single use areas of
relatively low density. Streets are sel-
dom pedestrian friendly. CyGists and
goods carriers must usually make do
with whatever roadway space is avail-
able. Shopping malls are far from
home or work and require large areas.
mostly for parking. Suburban or bed-
room communities are designed for
single family houses with large lots on
cal-de•sacs or winding roads.
The result of such practice Is to In-
crease auto travel and maximize travel
distances. For the majority of urban
residents the auto Is not a luxury, but a
necessity to move between home,
work, shopping, schools, recreation,
etc. In most cases walking, cycling and
even transit are not viable options.
Overwhelming dependence.on the pri-
vate automobile contributes to urban
sprawl, losses in prime farmland, ex-
cess consumption of fossil fuel. air and
noise pollution, and traffic congestion.
Transportation
Per capita automobile ownership is in-
creasing and the average number of
occupants per auto is decreasing.
Transit serves only a small peroentage
of total demand and in some areas its
market share is decreasing. Trucks are
forced to stand in traffic lanes because
in many cases oH-street loading facili-
ties are not provided. Goods distribu-
tion is seldom considered as part of the
total urban transportation system: nor
is parking usually planned and coordi-
nated to be paR of the solution. The
potential for cycling cannot be fully re•
alined without special provisions for
sharng roadspace.
Under heavy traffic loads, roadways
and bridges are wearing out faster than
they can be repaired with present
maintenance budgets. Land and
money for new road construction are
becoming scarce.
Traffic congestion, ineffidencles and
added costs of present transportation
systems are becoming economic. fl-
nancial and social liabilities for the
whole urban area. Cfties are less able
to compete domestically and Interna-
tionally. Deferred maintenance is al-
ways more costly. Families spend
more time on the road and less time to-
gather. People are exposed to greater
health risks.
Flnanc(ng
Municipal and provincial budgets have
been the traditional sources of financ-
ing urban road construction and main-
tenance as well as transit subsidies.
Federal transfer payments to the prov-
inces and provincial grants to munici-
palities are decreasing relati•re to
needs as a result of recession. a weak
economy, government debt service
charges and other factors.
Municipalities are faced with increasing
costs for social and other services, de-
creasing revenue and citizen resis-
tance to higher taxes. Something has
to give, and it is often the municipal
transportation budget.

TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS THAT BETTER SERVE THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL NEEDS OF UR9AN
RESIDENTS AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT, A NEW VISION IS NEEDED....
A Generic Tranaportatlon Vlslon
Unique Local Transportation Vlalons
jor part of an urban area vision, the ur-
ban vision is much broader.
This BRIEFING proposes a generic ur-
ban transportation vision suitable for
large and medium sized urban areas In
Canada. The vision is supported by a
series of principles or directions, de-
signed to change past trends and re-
suR in future cities that are more:
• economically competftive,
• sodally desirable
• environmentally friendly
and allow:
• greater mobility
• easier access to a wider choice of
transportation options
while recognizing:
• economic realities
• the constraints of the existing urban
StNCtUre.
First and foremost among these prlnd-
plea is the need to change land use
and urban design practices. Achieving
this part of the vision wBl therefore re-
quire along term program of gradual
change.
With the generic vision as a starting
paint, each urban area is encouraged
to develop its own unique urban trans-
portation vision by adapting the princi-
ples to reflect local conditions. Specif'~c
visions will differ among urban areas
reflecting their different sizes, land con-
straints, development patterns, densi-
ties, growth rates, etc.
Urban Area Vlalons
Each specific transportation vision
should be developed within the context
of an overall urban area vision - de-
fined by an urban development plan
with complementary design objectives.
That plan should be rooted in reality
while offering adequate lifestyle
choices; it should distinguish between
real needs and less essential "wants"
when allocating resounes.
K must strike a balance between the
requirements of the communRy, the
economy and the environment. Com-
patibility between land use and trans-
portation is central to that balance.
Therefore, while transportation is a ma-
The need for Cooperation and
Leadership
What kind of urban areas do we want
to see in the future? The generic urban
transportation vision in this BRIEFING
is based on the belief that a more com-
pact form of urban development Is
more desirable than a less compact
form in order to:
• protect and enhance the environ-
ment
• conserve natural resources includ-
ing energy and land
• provide a wider and more balancred
choke of accessible and affoniable
transportation servk:es
• better respond to the needs of the
majority of residents.
This form of development represents a
significant departure from past prac-
tice. To alchleve i< will require the active
cooperation of many Interest groin.
Political leadership, based on In-
formed public support will be crltl-
cal.
A GENERIC VISION FOR URBAN TRANSPORTATION
It is the year 2023:
• Along term urban development plan has been
approved. ft emphasizes multi use town centres
and high density, mixed use along connecting
corridors. Transit has tending and operating pri-
ority inthose corridors.
• Short-medium term community/neighboufiood
plans have been approved. They emphasize
compact, mixed use communities based on pe-
destrian, cycling and transit friendly design.
• Transit, highways, arterials, parking and truck
routes are planned and coordinated across the
urban area.
• The percentages of trips made by walking, cy-
cling, transit and high occupancy automobiles
are all increasing; the percentage of trips made
by single occupant automobiles is decreasing.
• The average distance and time for peak hour
commuter travel is decreasing.
• An area wide parking strategy is in place and en-
forced.
• There are very few places which still require on-
street goods transfer.
• The physically challenged enjoy universal ac-
cess to publ'~c transport facilities and services.
• Roads and bridges are in a good state of repair.
• Air pollution from motor vehicle sources is dedin-
ing.
• Urban transportation infrastructure and services
are adequately funded from stable and sustain-
able revenue sources.
• Political leaders have the support of a well in-
formed publ'~c when making decisions on urban
development and transportation systems to
serve the area.

DECISION MAKING PRINCIPLES POINT THE DIRECTION TO FUTURE CHANGE...
1. Urban Structure and Land Use
Plan for increased densities and more mixed land
use
This principle will reduce dependence on the private auto,
shorten trip lengths and encourage modal shifts to wa~Cing,
cycling and transit. n can be applied at both the macro scale
(the whole urban area) and the micro scale (neighboufiood
and communities within the urbaq area). h includes tech-
niques such as intensif>cation, infitl and neo-traditional urban
design.
The method at the macro scale requires the creation of a
long term urban development plan (30 to 50 years) to pro-
vide acontext for future growth. The plan should blend eco-
nomic, social and environmental aspirations, and integrate
land use and transportation Into a coherent whole. Elements
of the plan may include:
• development of major muRi use town centres in suburban
areas, integrated with regional transit.
• high density, mixed use development along major transR
corridors.
• design of public rights-ot-way to encourage pedestrian use
and not just motor vehicle use (eg: adequate provlslon and
maintenance of interconnected sidewalks and foot paths).
• protection from inclement weather.
• adequate lighting for safety and security.
• accessibility for the physically challenged.
• street level establishments close to the sidewalk.
3. Cycpng
Increase opportunities for cycUng as an optional
mode of travel.
Cycling is part of a total urban transportation system and, Bke
walking, is healthy and environmentally friendly. Increased op-
portunitfes for sate cycling can best be achieved through ur-
ban and community plans, and through provlslon of fadlities.
Methods include:
• cycle lanes on the public right-of-way and separate cycle
networks.
• transit funding and operating priority where densities and
demand levels make this possible.
• a grid pattern of highways and arterials to accommodate
truck traffic and passenger demand that cannot be handled
by walking, cycling or transit
Methods at the micro scale require the creation of short to
medium term community/neighbourhood plans (5 to 10
years) to provide direction to decision makers on develop-
ment applications. Elements may Include:
• development of more compact, mixed use communities of-
fering arange of housing types, with pedestrian friendly ur-
ban design as a prime objective.
• reurbanizatlon of municipal core areas.
• a transit friendly grid pattem of local streets.
• pedestrian, cycling, transit and truck friendly designs in-
cluding sidewalks and footpaths, cycle lanes and paths,
higher densities close to transit stops and off street load•
ing.
For further details on these subjects see Reference 1.
2. Walking
Promote walking as the preferred mode for person
trips.
Walking is a part of every person trip. Increased wagcing is
healthy, environmentally friendly, and reduces demand on
road and transit systems. The goal is to improve the quality of
the walking environment through pedestrian Iriendty street-
scapes and make walking a more attradiv choice. Methods
include:
• increased densities and mixed land use to bring origins
and destinations closer together.
t
• the needs of cyclists considered in the preparation of com-
munity/neighboufiood plans.
• storage fadlities at transit stations and on transft vehicles
to encourage bike and ride.
• storage fadtities In the downtown core, suburban town
centres, and other key locations.
• provision of cycle fadlities as a conditlon of development.
4. TransJt
Provide higher quality transit service to increase
its attractiveness relative to the private auto.
More attractive service and increased market share for transit
are essential elements In achieving this vision. Better transit
can reduce reliance on the single ocxupant automobile. Cur-
rent demographks. existing urban designs and fundlrtg re-
quirements make this a challenging goal, but many things can-
be done • especially if improvements are aimed at specific
market segments (see Reference 2).
The key method I'~es in new urban structure and land use
planning approaches as described in Prindple #1 above.
Other methods include:
• develop a hierarchy of transit services (primary on control-
led access ways, secondary on exclusive bus lanes or
HOV lanes, a feeder network and auxiliary fadlities such
as park-and-ride).
• give transit funding and operating priority (eg: transit or
HOV lanes}.
• improve comfort, security. frequency, on time reliability,
geographic coverage, access for the physically challenged,
and public information services.
• encourage park-and-ride, kiss-and-ride and bike-and-ride
by providing appropriate facilities.
34
• Integrate transit stations, schedules and fares In areas wfth
more than one transft system.
• introduce preferential Income tax treatment for transit use
(eg: make employer provided transft passes anon-taxable
benefit).
5. Automobile
Create an environment in which automobiles can
play amore balanced role.
The private automobile Is the dominant mode of urban trans-
portation and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Current
urban strudures and land use practices, coupled with the
comfort, security and cornenience of the auto make this inevi-
table. However, inefficient auto uses (eg: single occupant ve-
hicles to destinations served by transR) should be reduced,
and a more balanced transportation system could be
achieved through a combination of methods:
• reduce travel demand by bringing origins and destinations
close together through higher densities and mixed land
use.
• design new suburbs, major developments and redevelop-
ments to be more walking, cycling and transft friendly.
• employ traffic management techniques pnduding HOV
lanes) to achieve more efficient use of roads.
• encourage flexible working hours and ride sharing pro-
grams. .
6. Park/ng
Plan parking supply and price to be in balance with
walking, cycling, transit and auto priorities.
Parking is an important part of the trarsportation infrastructure
and its provision should be coordinated throughout the urban
area much like roads or transit h fs critical to the finandal
health of retail activities and can complement public transit. In
order to make parking part of the solution to traffic congestion
problems, h must be both planned and controlled.
The key method is to develop a comprehensive on-streeUoff-
street parking strategy including short term, long terrrt, park-
and-ride, public and private, supply and price considerations.
Elements of that strategy may include:
• detailed studies to determine current and future parking
supply and demand.
• emphasize short stay over long stay parking downtown.
• on-street parking priced at a higher rate than off-street.
• on-street parking limited to oft-peak periods.
• off-street neighbourhood parking structures incorporating
retail and commerdal uses.
• park-and-ride fadlities integrated with the transit system.
• municipal enforcement to ensure a balance of parking sup-
plywith demand.
7. Goods Movement
Improve the efficiency of the urban goods
distribution system.
Etfkient goods movement is vital to the economic health and
competitiveness of an urban area, but at present many ineffl-
ciendes exist. Added costs are passed on to truckers in the
form of decreased profits, to consumers through higher prices
and to the public with Increased congestion. Methods to im-
provegoods movement efficiency include:
• cooperative efforts by the trudting Industry to give munid-
palities abetter understanding of how to meet Industry
needs.
• consideration by municipal authorities of the total goods
distribution system in all stages of urban planning and de-
velopment (fe: urban development plan, communitylneigh-
bourhood plans, site development plans).
• require off-street loading fadlities or zones for aN new de-
velopments.
• encourage industry to make more use of consolidated de-
liveryservices to congested areas.
• improve the truck route network through designated
routes, better road geometries, stronger pavement, etc.
8. Inter-Modal integration
Promote inter-modal and inter-line connections.
Each mode and each carrier -whether for passengers or
goods • should be conveniently Integrated with the rest of the
urban transportation system. Special planning efforts are re-
quired to achieve this. Benefits include more attractive transit
services and more efficient goods movement. Methods in-
clude:
• in the urban development plan, design the location of tran-
sit connections to be quids, easy and weather protected.
• in community/neighbourhood plans and site developments,
minimize walking distances to transit.
• promote gateway/mobiUty centres.
• integrate fares and services between transit systems.
• consider inter-city links in developing urban area tertninats
for passengers and goods. '
9. New Technology
Promote new technologies which improve urban
mobility and help protect the environment.
New technologies can be used to reinforce desirable changes
advocated in this vision. Some examples are:
• telecommunications, to reduce peak period trave! demand
and lessen the strain on the road system.
• Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems and computerized
signal control, to increase the effidency of existing road
systems.
• vehicle locating systems, to allow for demand responsive
transit.
35
1

• enhanced pollution control equipment and standards for all
motor vehicles, to slow the Increase In air pollution.
• fuel substitution and increased fuel effldency.
10. System Optimization
Optimize the use of existing transportation
systems to move people and goods.
Improving urban mobility requires a detemtlned effort to make
the most of the expensive transportation infrastructure already
in place. Minor modifications (lane widening, fuming bays,
etc.) may be appropriate, but very expensive items (new free-
ways, bridges, tunnels, mass rapid transit, etc.) will have to
wait in favour of cheaper options with better payons. Methods
include:
• treat the road system as a multi use public tadllty which
recognizes the needs of pedestrians, cyclsts, transit, high
occupancy vehicles, autos and trucks.
• make operational Improvements through transportation
management.
• promote ways to flatten traffic peaks and shin modes
through demand management.
• enhance transit services
• implement supportive parking policies.
11. Special User Needs
Design and operate transportation systems which
can be used by the physically challenged.
The number of physically challenged persons will grow in the
future as the population ages. Transportation services must
be accessible to them. Methods include:
• use low floor transit vehicles.
• provide cost effective pars transit services (see Reference
3 for an example).
• establish by-laws for minimum numbers of off-street park-
ing stalls for the physically challenged.
• use curb cuts, ramps and other designs to improve aooess.
• provide for special vehicle axes in parking structures.
12. Env/ronment
Ensure that urban transportation decisions protect
and enhance the environment.
The two largest sources of air pollution in most Canadian ur•
ban areas under normal conditions are motor vehicle emis-
sions and space heating. Improvements in air quality from re-
duced motor vehicle emissions can be achieved provided
there is a determined effort to do so. The first ten principles in
this vision all work toward that end. The goal is to strengthen
these trends and build environmental considerations into
every stage of decision making. Methods include:
• develop environmental codes of practice based on a na-
tional environmental policy (Reference 4).
• require environmental considerations to be an Integral pan
of the urban development plan, community/nelghbountood
plans and site development approvals.
• give funding priority to the most environmentally friendly
transportation options.
• consider mandatory regular inspections of motor vehicle
emission control systems.
• encourage the development and use of environmentally
Iriendly power sources for vehicles.
13. Funding/Flnancing
Create better ways to pay for future urban
transportation systems.
Realistic means must be found to provide adequate and sus-
taining sources of funds for new, expanded and property
maintained urban transportation infrastructure and services.
Current funding/Iinancing mechanisms do not meet this need.
Funding should be:
• stable over time.
• predictable in magnitude.
• "transparent' (open and easily understood by dedsion
makers and the public).
• increasingly derived from users in proportion to benefits re-
ceived.
• dedicated by law to urban transportation system enhance-
ments.
• designed to foster an urban transportation system operat•
ing at the lowest possible total cost.
There are various options for achieving these funding goals.
Differing perceptions surround each, and no consensus has
yet emerged. Some suggested methods include:
Redistribution of existing taxes. Some believe that taxes
currently levied on the transportation sector could substan-
tially help meet funding needs it they were allocated or dedi-
cated to transportation rather than being treated as general
revenues. The federal excise tax on motor vehicle fuel Is oven
cited in this context. Others suggest that it k unrealistic to pro-
pose such a fundamental change in govemntent tax policy.
New taxes. Dedicated fuel taxes. licence fee surcharges and
frontage levies are proposed by some as ways to raise money
for urban transportation. Others argue that these are blunt in-
struments that do Nttle to encourage more efficient travel be-
haviour, and that existing tax revenues should be more equi-
tably distributed before new taxes are imposed.
Roadway pricing. Proponents say that this can raise money,
flatten demand peaks, encourage modal shifts and lead.to
more efficient use of roadways. Opponents say that roadway
pridng is a punitive measure against private motorists who
believe they already pay their fair share.
Aithough opinions vary on the best funding methods, there is
widespread agreement that money must be spent wisely on
Improved urban transportation systems, and that benefits
(less congestion, irr~roved mobilfty, greater effidency) wiN
outweigh costs.
36
t
POLITICAL LEADERSHIP, SUPPORTED BY AN INFORMED PUBUC~
IS NEEDED TO MOVE AHEAD...
Creating and implementing a new ur-
ban transportation vision will be an in-
stitutional and social challenge, requir-
ing the cooperative efforts of all key
players. The final vision will naturally
be a compromise - a balanced blend-
ing of the often conflicting goals and
aspirations of many vested Interest
groups.
Someone must take the lead in this
process and K Is logical that munici-
pal elected officials do so. They
should be supported and encouraged
by the appropriate provincial depart-
ments and their own urban planning
and transportation professional staffs.
Several changes to current institutional
arrangements and practices may be
required to develop and implement the
new vision:
• Most municipal departments are
structured on vertical lines (plan-
Wing, transportation, transit, sewer,
water, etc.). New methods for hori-
zontal communications may be
needed.
Where more than one municipality
or more than one level of govern-
ment has jurisdiction in an urban
area, a mechanism will be needed
to coordinate and Integrate their ef-
forts across the region, at least for
planning purposes.
Public education will be a major key
to success. Wfthout it political lead-
ers will not have the mandate to
move in the right direction. This can
be a very time consuming and ex-
pensive exeroise, but R is neces-
sary.
Checks must be buiR Into the ded-
sion making process, to ensure that
day-today decisions are compat~le
with the vision and its princ~les.

members of the TAC sponsored Ur-
ban Transportation Coundl. For this
assistance, TAC is grateful. K was

Secretary and member of the TAC
Secretariat staff.
TAC is a national non-profit. non-
partisan association of more than
550 voluntary corporate members
including the federal, all provindai
and territorial and many munidpal
governments, passenger transport
services, goods carriers, contrac-
tors, manufacturers, consultants,
academic and researoh groups, aril
others. tts interests cover alt modes
of transportation. pacts as a neutral
forum for the discussion of transpor•
tation issues and concerns. and as
a technical focus in the roadway
transportation area. tt was founded
in 1914 as the Canadian Good
Roads Association, became RTAC
in t 970 and TAC in 1990.
The TAC sponsored Urban Trans-
portation Council provides a focus.
far urban congestion and urban mo-
bility issues within the Canadian
transportation community.
its objectives are to:
identity and prioritize critical ur-
ban transportation issues.
• focus attention on those issues.
• produce and distribute impartial,
factual infom~tation on those is-
sues.
• provide a neutral forum within
which active parties to an issue
can work cooperativety toward
common goals.
Membership consists of: municipal
elected officals, municipal transpor-
tation planners, municipal urban
planners, provindai governments,
developers, trucking companies,
transit operators, motorists, aca-
derrics and consultants.
For the past 18 months the TAC Urban
Transportatlon Council has carefulty
considered the most practk:ai means of
ensuring that luture transportation sys-
tems:
• are more accessible and increase
mobility.
• reduce pollution, frustration and
waste.
• make the best use of available re-
sources.
• support the development of urban
areas that are economically com-
petitive and socially destrable.
A NEW VISION FOR URBAN TRANS-
PORTATION is its answer. The vision
approach calls for a long term but
meaningful program of action and
change -one whbh is beyond the
scope of the Coundl to implement.
However, the Council's mandate does
allow M to ad as a catalyst, to provide a
forum, to help the responsible parties
.work together toward common goals.
The TAC Urban Transportation Coundl
is prepared to do this in the months
and years. ahead. Your parttdpatlon wiq
be encouraged and we~ome.

The Economic Development and Planning Committee recommends that the folowing joint report
(June 9, 1994) from the Commissioner of Planning and the Commissioner of Transportation be
received:
Recommendations:
It is recommended that the Metropolitan Council:
(t) endorse the principles embodied in the document, entitled 'A New .Vision for Urban
Transportation', recognizing that the Metropolitan Official Plan recently adopted by Councal
generally reflects these principles;

(4) urge both the Federal and Provincial governments to initiate complementary initiatives within their
respective jurisdictions;
(5) forward this report to the Transportation Committee for its information; and
(6) forward this report, along with Council's decision, to the Transportation Association of Canada.
Background:
The Urban Transportation Council of the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC), of which
the Commissioner of Transportation is Chairman and the Commissioner of Planning a member, has
prepared a generic urban transportation vision' suitable for large and medium-sized Canadian urban
areas. This "vision" indudes a set of principles to guide future transportation planning. These
principles, and the examples provided of methods to achieve them, can be adapted by municipalities
to suit local conditions. A copy of the brieflng document for this Initiative, entttled "A New Vlslon for
Urban Transportation', is appended. "
TAC has circulated the briefing document widely and is suggesting that municipalities adopt this
'ltislon" as a starting point for the creation of a local transportation lrisfon'. A national symposium to
discuss the 'ylslon" was held In Ottawa hom Apr1 24 to 26, t994. The Regional Munldpallty of
Ottawa-Carleton subsequently adopted the lrtsion' statement as an expression of the future direction
of urban transportation in Ottawa-Carleton.
The purpose of this report is to summarize the prindples contained In the tiision', compare these
with the pdicy directions of'the new Metropolitan Official Plan which was adopted by Coundl. on
June 1,1994, and broadly discuss Implementation of the principles in the Metropolhan Toronto context.
Discussion:
(t) Principles of the Transportation Association of Canada's
'Urban Transportation Vision' in the context of the
Metropolitan Official Plan: '
The principles proposed by the Transportation Association of Canada reflect the condusi'on, now
generally accepted, that past Vends in land-use and transportation are not sustainable over the
long-term, particularly in the larger urban areas. Emphasis must be placed on the planned
integration of the land-use and transportation systems. Transportation systems themselves must
be implemented and operated with the objective of maximizing the cost-effectiveness. efficiency,
environmental benefits, and accessibility of related infrastructure and services.
The principles contained in the genetic urban transportation tiision' are as follows:
(i) Urban Structure and land Use -Plan for increased densities and more mixed land use.
(ii) Walking -Promote walking as the preferred mode for person trips.
(iii) Cycling -Increase opportunities for cycling as an optional mode of travel.
(iv) Transit -Provide higher quality transit service to increase its attractiveness relative to the
private auto.
(v) Automobile -Create 3n environment in which automobiles can play a more balanced role.
t
~, 4 0
J
(vi) Parking -Plan parking supply and price to be in balance with walking, cycling, transit and
auto priorities.
(vii) Goods Movement -Improve the efficiency of the urban goods distribution system.
(viii) Inter-modal Integration -Promote inter-modal and interdlne connections.
('uc) New Technology -Promote new technologies which improve urban mobility and help to
protect the environment.
(x) System Optimization -Optimize the use of existing transportation systems to move people
and goods.
(xi) Special User Needs • Design and operate transportation systems which can be used by
the physically challenged.
(xli) Environment -Ensure that urban transportation dedsions protect and enhance the
environment.
(xlin Funding/Financing -Create better ways to pay for future urban transportation systems.
The policies of the Metropditan Official Plan are consistent with those principles within the realm
of regional planning. Most of the principles are promoted or provided for .within the Plan's
objectives and policies. There are some areas where Metropolitan priorltles might vary from ~
those of a generic urban area For example, public transit is a more practical'preferred' mode '~'
of travel than walking for many trips in Metropdttan Toronto and the Greater Toronto,Area due
to the typical travel distances involved. There are also strategies identified which wouid be more
applicable to other levels of government. Vehide inspection programs aimed at improvln~ air '
quality are currently under Provincial Jurisdiction. Implementation of parking standards ~ zoning
by-laws is an Area Municipal prerogatNe although Metro can' provide guidance and support In
this regard. -Metro will continue to encourage and support initiatives by others which are
compatible with the 'Vision'.
(2) Implementation of the 'Vision':
In addition to outlining the principles of the urban transportation wislon'. the briefing document
provides examples of methods that might be used to implement the principles. to contrast, the
Official Plan is primarily a policy document and does not cover impelementation. A corporate
implementation strategy to achieve the Official Plan objectives and policies will be prepared and
is expected to be before Council in the Fall of 1994. It should be noted, however, that many of
the strategies identified in the TAC tiision' are already being implemented.
Two topics in the tiision' statement (funding/financing and leadership) are addressed in the
Officia! Plan in only a limited way as they apply maiNy to higher levels of government. Naw
funding sources, such as the private sector, and new funding mechanisms. such as dedication
of tax revenues, w~7I have to be explored if the transportation infrastructure and services Headed
to sustain growth in Metropolitan Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area are to be provided in
a timely fashion. It will also be necessary to review the traditional funding programs to ensure
that new initiatives consistent with this vision', such as travel demand management,. can be
provided for.
'4 1
t
e -
The 'vision' statement suggests that municipal elected officials take the .lead in creating and
implementing the 'vision', but also recognizes that in areas where multiple municipalities and
levels of government have jurisdiction, co-ordination and integration of planning and
implementation is necessary. In the Greater Toronto Area, this need fs particularly acute and k
is anticipated that the work of the Transk Integration Task Force and the preparation of a GTA
transportation plan wpi be the first steps towards effective co-ondination under the leadership of
the Province. Beyond this plan, co-ordination of implementation efforts wpl be required, with
particular emphasis on integrated Iand•use planning that is compatible with the ti+ision' and the
development of project priorities and allocation of funding from aGTA-wkie perspective.
Leadership from the Province will be critical towards realizing the bision' with respect to the
GTA.
Wtth respect to municipal corporate structures, the 'vision' statement suggests increased
horizontal co-oniinatfon among functional areas such as planning, transportation, water supply
and sewage handling.
Contusion:
The Transportation Association of Canada's urban transportatbn'Vision' is a•useful guide to the
future planning of sustainable land-use and transportation systems in Canadian urban areas. The
objectives and pdk:ies of the Metropolitan Official Plan, as recently adopted by Council, generally
reflect the prindples contained in the 'Vision'. All levels of govemment have a rile to play to the
planning and impiementatkm of~strategtes and programs to ghre effect to these prtncipies.

Dear Friends
Many thanks for your support of the 1994 Ted Woloshyn Christmas
Card campaign and the CFRB "Children's Fund".
As a result of cards sent from schools and individuals, Ted received
1,183 Christmas greetings. Ted's generous commitment to donate 51
per card has resulted in a "Fund" that is $1,183 richer this year.
Our overall 1994 campaign raised over 5500,000 for the young
patients at The Hospital For Sick Children. It is the generosity and
enthusiasm of people like you that made it all possible.
Thank you for caring -thank you for sharing.

All good wishes for 1995. ~-~j

INVOICES FOR SUPPLEMENTARY ASSESSMENTS ISSUED
'3
The Issue:
Concerns regarding invoices for supplementary assessment charges which have been
issued by the Province.
The Facts:
Despite the concerns of hundreds of municipalities about the inequity of the
charges, the fact that lower-tier municipalities will bear 100% of the cost and the
difficulty of dealing with a new $19 million charge after budgets had been
finalized, the Minister of Finance has proceeded with charging for supplementary
assessments.
Invoices for services performed from July through December, 1994, have been
issued and concerns about the impact of these charges have been renewed. In
addition, several municipalities have objected to the GST that has been added to
the invoice.
The Excise Tax Act, specifically exempts charging GST on the supply of a service
of providing information in respect to a parcel of property. As such, it would
seem charging GST on fees for supplementary assessments is questionable. AMO
is pursuing a ruling, and will advise members of the outcome.
AMO is aware of several municipalities who, in strenuous objection to the charge
and the questionable application of the GST, have either chosen to withhold
payment or are seriously considering this option.
Information distributed previously by the Province indicates that "late payment
will be subject to an interest penalty charge and non-payment will create a debt
owing to the Crown". Amounts owing will be deducted from transfer payments
owing to the municipality.
Further updates will follow as this issue continues to develop.

AMO'S REPRESENTATIVES SUCCEED IN DELAYING THE
PROCLAMATION DATE OF PLANNING REFORM
The Issue:
Planning Reforms Will Come Into Effect on March 28, 1995.
The Facts:
On February 6, 1995, in his address to the Rural Ontario Municipal Association's Conference in
Toronto, the Honourable Ed Philip, Minister of Municipal Affairs announced that the entire
package of planning reforms will come into effect on March 28, 1995. This includes amendments
to the Planning Act under Bill 163, the comprehensive set of provincial policy statements, the First
Edition of implementation guidelines, and the Planning Act regulations dealing with notice
requirements and complete applications for public meetings related to official plans and plan
amendments, zoning by-laws, plans of subdivision, and consents.
How Did AMO Succeed in Postponing the Proclamation Date?
The Proclamation date was originally scheduled for March 1,•1995. However, in January, 1995, in
response to the final package of implementation guidelines and the available regulations, AMO's
representatives on the Implementation Advisory Task Force adamantly maintained that they cannot
endorse the guidelines and regulations in their current form. Because of their poor quality, they
expressed concerns that if released in their current form, the rigidity and the inconsistencies in
these documents could create uncertainty and chaos resulting in delay and higher costs in
processing development applications.
Through their intensive lobbying effort, AMO's representatives adamantly argued that the Province
must delay the release of guidelines and regulations and the proclamation of the amendments to
the Planning Act contained in Bill 163, so that they can be substantially edited to address their
concerns.
The following are the key recommendations of AMO's representatives and the Province's response.
Municipalities Now have Additional Time to Implement the Regulations
AMO's representatives requested that the Province distribute the final version of the regulations
(dealing with notice requirements and complete applications) to municipalities, and delay their
promulgation until municipalities have been given adequate time to amend their bylaws and
procedural manuals -- the things necessary to make the process work speedily and efficiently.
rebruarv 10• :994 -.2
Municipal Alert: Planning Reform Proclamation Date is Postponed
According to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs officials, all municipalities in Ontario received a
formal package containing the final version of the regulations in the week of February 6, 1995. As
the regulations will come into effect on March 28th, municipalities now have at least 7 weeks to
update their procedures and bylaws.
In addition, a small group of municipal solicitors are planning to meet with the MMA solicitors to
explore options for developing a set of advisory procedures that municipalities requiring assistance
could follow in order to update their model by-laws and procedural manuals.
Your Input on the Implementation Guidelines is Rleloome
At their meetings with the Minister, the AMO representatives also insisted that the implementation
guidelines should be considered draft when released, so that the Task Force can receive input from
municipalities and other users and make amendments to them by March 1, 1996.
In response to this position, the Province has agreed to release the implementation guidelines as
a "First Edition" on March 28th, subject to substantive revision within a 12 month period based on
comments received from municipalities and other users.
The Province has also committed to ensure that the guidelines should be considered advisory, a
longstanding position of AMO. While this assurance has been given, AMO's representatives are
still concerned that field staff of the various ministries will rigidly interpret and apply the
implementation guidelines. This has already been the case in a few municipalities. AMO would
request that municipalities advise the Association of any instances where this kind of interpretation
occurs.
Education and Training Component Will be Enhanced
Finally, AMO's representatives strongly urged the Province to intensify its efforts to drastically
improve the quality of the education and training component on planning reform. Many municipal
officials, as well as provincial officials, must be trained to understand the requirements of the new
planning system. AMO's representatives maintained that if the situation is not seriously addressed
before the regulations and guidelines come into effect, then lack of certainty and trust could
jeopardize the efficiency and integrity of the planning system.
In response to the above concern, the Province is planning to improve and institutionalize the
education and training component to make this along-term and ongoing undertaking.
The Association would like to hear from municipalities about their experiences with the education
and training component. To sign up for education and training programs in your area, or obtain
additional information, please contact Sue Corke, Director, Provincial Facilitators Office, Ministry
of Municipal Affairs at (416) 585-6745.
Stay Tuned for Further Updates
At its February meeting, the AMO Board of Directors will be considering the issue further, in
particular, the provincial response to AMO's representative's recommendations. An Alert will be
sent to update municipalities in March.

Dear Mayor Hamre and Councillors;
February 24, 1995
I am writing in reference to application DEV-94-061 that came
before GP & A Committee as PD-5-95 on January 23, 1995.
I recently came across the attached article which refers to the
Audubon Co-operative Sanctuary. If Crooked Creek Golf Club was
willing to get this certification for their golf course, I think I
could take more seriously their statements that they wish to be
environmentally friendly.
It might also be a goad marketing tool for them and for Tourism in
the Town as well.
I have passed on a copy to Frank Wu and to the consultant, Kevin
Tunney~but I wanted Council to be aware of this information.
Sincerely,

municipalities.
A program form MR-A-16 is attached and is tb be completed showing how your allocation is to be spent.

1st Floor, Atrium Tower, 1201 Wilson Avenue, ~ Downsview, Ontario,~~M3M 1 J8 no later than
March 31, 1995:" Actual subsidy payable will be determined by applying the ministry's cost sharing
fo~mula:to eligible expenditures made in 1995 and"will be limited to.the total allocation. .
.Your municipality was also advised ofahe new Ontario-Quebec trade agreement and of its implications •
to .your operations. As of July 1,.199b, the agreement includes construction procurements over
$100,000•by municipalities, academic institutions, school-.boards, social service agencies and •
hospitals. Adherence by municipalities to the relevant portions "of the•procurement agreement will be a ~ .~
condition of municipal roads subsidy from the,Ontario Government. • • ~ • •
-2-
Where a murncipality plans major construction expenditures which may require a subsidy amount in the
excess of the above allocation, the excess amounts will not be subsidized unless covered by a
supplementary allocation approved by the Minister. The ministry has set aside supplementary funding
again for 1995. A municipality wishing to request a supplementary allocation should submit a request to
Mr. Shaei Gwartz no later than March 27, 1995.
The ministry also provides limited funding for demonstration projects. The funding formula is the same
as that used for normal supplementary allocations. If you are interested in this program, please contact
Mr. Shaei Gwartz for more information.
Ali allocations noted here are given with the understanding that expenditures made thereunder wfii be in
accordance with present ministry policy.

CABINET DEFERS DECISION ON PROC:L.AMATIOI~T DATE
OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ,DISCLOSURE OF INTER1i:ST ACT
'IT~E FACTS:
• On March 1,1995, the Provincial Cabinet was expected to consider whethe~:r to proceed with the
proclamation of the Local Government Disclosure of Interest Act portion of Bill 163. That Act
is currently slated for proclamation on Apri115, 1995. As indicated in a p:;eviousAlert, a week
after passing Bill 163 on November 28,1994, the Province passed new legit~lation governing the
conduct of Provincial Members of the Legislature. That legislation (Bill ~'!~9) includes warding
in 18 areas that is more favourable to M,P,P,'s than the wording in the municipal legislation.
ST~~TUS
Although AMO has received no official word from the Province as to what transpired at the
March 1st Cabinet meeting, sources within the Government have indicated that Cabinet did not
make a final decision on the proclamation datc at that meeting. fnstead, the decision was
deferred until an unspecified future date.
Vf~IAT SHOULD MUNICIPALITIES DO NOW?
It would appear that the backlash from the municipal sector regarding the d~:iscrepancies between
the legislation governing municipal caunctllors and the legislation pertaining to M.P,P.'s has
caused Cabinet to have second thoughts as to whether ar not to proceed with proclamation of
the Local Government Disclosure of Interest .Act.
To convince Cabinet not to proclaim the legislation, members of eou~acil care urged to continue
to pressure Ed Philip and their local M.P.P,'s to bring their influence to bear to defer
proclamation of the Local Government Disclosure of 1'nterest Act until such time as appropriate
amendments can be made to harmonize the wording of the legislation governing Provincial and
Local GoverYUnent members. Once again, please fax a copy of any correspondence to the
Minister of Municipal Affairs, Ed Philip at (416) 585-6470.

RECOI~BNDATION:
That the Finance and Administration Committee recommend to Council
that this report be received for information.
• ~~
1.0 BACKGROUND
In response to the discussion arising from the Finance and
Administration Committee's review of Report #95-F-llz Status
of Education Development Charges on February 7, 1995
(Attachment #2j, the following information is provided:
• the mandatory imposition of an 8ducation Development
Charge on Commercial Development;
• Education Development Charge exemptions for Municipal
Government Development;
• the status of current Education Development Charges in
Ontario; and
• .current Regional Development Charges and Education
Development Charges by area municipality.
2.0 IF AN EDIICATION DEVSI~OPMBN'i' CHARGE IS TO R T~SED. ~iQST BOTS
NEN RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVEI,OPMBN<1' BE CHARGED?
• Yes; if a residential Education Development Charge is
approved, the imposition of a non-residential Education
Develornnent Charge is mandatory under the provisions of
the Development Charges Act. Under the Development
Charges Act, an Education Development Charge requires
both a Residential and Non-Residential component to be
collected by the school board.
• Both the Durham Region Public and Roman Catholic Separate
School Boards impose residential and non-residential
Education Development Charges. Both boards use 100$ of
the eligible growth related capital costs and a 75/25$
attribution of those net growth related capital costs
between residential and non-residential. (The Development
Charges Act requires that the non-residential share of
the capital costs must be greater than 0~ but no more
than 40~).

The attached survey provides an overview of the current
total Development Charges and Education Development
Charges for the Regions in the Greater Toronto Area, by
area municipality. (Attachment #1). The commercial
Education Development Charge has been converted to a
square foot charge for ease of comparison.
As the survey indicates, the Region does not collect non-
residential Development Charges. However, the Township
of Uxbridge and the Durham Public and Roman Catholic
Separate School Boards do collect non-residential
Developm4ent Charges. The non-residential Development
Charges shown for the Towns of Pickering and Ajax, the
City of Oshawa, and the Townships of Scugoq and Brock are.
charged for local- electric utility purposes (with no noa-
residential.Development Charges imposed directly by those
area municipalities) . .
~~ • Please note that this survey reflects the rates as at
April 30, 1994. Some of thg area municipalities have
since increased their Developmaent Charges for inflation.
6.0 y_
The Regional Solicitor has reviewed this report and concurs in ~`
the views expressed regarding the interpretation of the '
Development Charges A,ct. Further information concerning the
Education Development Charges can be obtained through the ~~
Finance Department if required.

FROM: J.L. Gartley, Commissioner of Finance
RE: REPORT #95-F- 11
STATUS OF EDIICATION DEVELOPMENT CHARGES (CC#532)
RBC02D~NDATION:
THAT this report be received for information only.
REPORT:
1.0 INTRODIICTION
• During the January 11, 1995 meeting of the Finance and
Administration Committee, several questions arose
regarding the recently approved Education Development`
Charges (EDC) as outlined 3.n the November 21, 1994 letter
from the Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School
Board (CC#532).
2.0 DIIRffi~il~i PIIBLIC SCS00~, BOARD AND THB
DDRHAM ROMAN ~'~-'~'Rrn'•IC SBPARATB SCHOOI, BOARD
• In September. 1994, public meetings, were held to discuss
the proposed Education Development Charge (EDC). The EDC
by-laws were approved on October~24, 1994 by the Durham
Public School Board and November~9, 1994 by the Durham
Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board.
• Effective January 1, 1995, new~developm:ent within Durham
(except the Municipality of Clarington), will be subject
to the payment of a combined Education Development Charge
of $1,728 per residential unit and $1.33 per $100 of
building permit value for non-residential units as
follows:

• It is our understanding that The Development Charges Act
mandates-the use of construction value to calculate the
non residential EDC. (The School Boards will be using
established cost guidelines to confirm the value
submitted by the applicants).

ATTN~~ T
2.0 DURHAM PIIBLIC SCHOOL BOARD AND THE
DURHAM ROMAN CATHOLIC SEPARATE SCHOOL BOARD/cont'd
For example, a non residential building permit for a new
floorspace with a declared construction value of $100,000
would attract an EDC amount of $1,330.
($1.33 % $100,000 + 100).
The constitutional validity of EDC's has been challenged
by the Ontario Home Builders' Association (OHBA).
Although, the Ontario Court of Appeal had upheld the
constitutionality of the EDC's, the OHBA has been
successful in having the Supreme Court of Canada agree to
hear the case. However, it is expected to be one to two
years before the Supreme Court will issue its decision.
The local development industry has also appealed the
Durham EDC to the OMB. The appeals list various
objections; however, the chief concern of the development
industry is the apparent excessive amount of the EDC.
The School~Boards have requested that the OMB defer a
hearing on 'the developers' appeals until the
constitutional challenge has been heard by the Supreme
Court. The O.M.B. has yet to render a decision on this
request.
3.0 NO AND (~ARINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOL
AND PETERBOROUGH, VICTORIA, NORTS~ERLAND AND
CLARINGTON SEPARATE SCHOOL BOARDS
The Municipality of Clarington is serviced by the
Northumberland and Clarington Public School and
Peterborough, Victoria, Northumberland and Clarington
Separate School Boards.
The Northumberland and Clarington Public School Board has
undertaken the review necessary for the implementation of
an EDC. However, in December 1994, the Operating and
Finance Committee further delayed the process until such
time as the legal constitutionality of EDC's has been
determined. When the EDC process is resumed, the
underlying statistics, such as enrolment, will require
updating before a new development charge rate can be
calculated.

Dear Patti L. Barrie:
Thank you for your letter informing me that your
council has joined with the ministry in declaring
April 1995 "Safe Schools Month".
I am very pleased to see the enthusiastic response we
have received concerning this initiative. To
effectively address problems of violence in our
schools and our society, we will need.-the support and
cooperation of communities across the province.
As you know, the ministry will be carrying out several
activities during Safe Schools Month geared to
particular age groups. However, the success of these
endeavours will depend to a large extent on the
concerted efforts of the local community. Only by
working together will we be able to address the
underlying issues involved in violence prevention and
make Ontario schools truly violence-free.
Your contribution to this goal is greatly appreciated.

MAYOR'S QFr"iC
As you will recall, a special meeting of the Lake Ontario Greenway Strategy
Steering Committee was held at the Palais Royale on 23 November 1994. At that time we
discussed plans for launching the Waterfront Trail this spring as way to celebrate the
completion of two years of hard work and to invite the public to come, see and enjoy all that
has been accomplished.
By way of updating you, the official launch of the Waterfront Trail is scheduled
to take place from May 14 to June 11,1995. The plan is to' walk/cycle/canoe the entire 325
kilometres from Hamilton to Trenton with munidpalities and community groups hosting a
variety of events and activities along the way. The launch would provide an excellent
opportunity to highlight Clarington's waterfront accomplishments as well as its beauty.
Working with the Lake Ontario Greenway Strategy Steering Committee (Cynthia
~~ Strike is the Clarington representative), we have drafted a tour itinerary. The Tour will reach
Clarington on Thursday, June 1,1995.
S.J Charity Landon of our office is coordinating the Waterfront Trail Tour, meeting
J all participants. She will be in touch with your office to discuss your wishes concerning
Clarington's participation.
A great deal has been accomplished on the waterfront in the past two years
thanks to the cooperation of the waterfront munidpalities such as Clarington. I look forward to
working with you in the future to continue this success and hope you will join us for the 1995
Waterfront Trail Tour.

Report 95-WR-7
Date February 21. 1995
1994 WASTE NWNAGEMENT ANNUAL REPORT
THAT this report be received for information and that copies be
forwarded to the Area Municipalities and the Ministry of
Environment and Energy.
This report details the major activities of the Region's Waste
Management Branch during 1994. This Branch includes a staff of six
in Waste Reduction, 2~3 employees at the Recycling Centre and 12
employees located at the four Regional -Transfer Stations and
Landfill sites.
1. DURHAM RECYCLING CENTRE
The weight of materials received in '1994 at the Region's
Recycling Centre was as follows: 17,603 tonnes from the
residential Blue Box program, 1,504 tonnes from the Region's
Transfer Stations, 1,571 tonnes from the Igloo Recycling
Depots, and 156 tonnes of mixed recyclables from the
commercial and business sector. The total weight received
was 20, 832 tonnes and this was 413 tonnes or about 2~ more
than in 1993. The amount of contamination was again
exceptionally low as only 95 tonnes or less than 0.5~ of all
materials received was disposed of as a garbage waste.
The residential Blue Box program continued to represent about
84~ of materials received, while Igloo recycling was about 8$
and the Region's Transfer sites accounted for another 7$.

Report 9 S-WR- 7
ReAOrt contd.
The materials received were processed and loaded into large
transport trucks usually within hours of being received at the
Recycling Centre. The following recyclables were sent to
market: 12,280 tonnes of newspaper fibre mixed with magazines,
') telephone books and other fine papers; 3,585 tonnes of mixed
`~ glass bottles and jars, 2,445 tonnes of mixed metal food and
beverage cans and plastic soft drink containers, and 2,118
"'~ tonnes of corrugated cardboard. These recyclables .represent
approximately 98$ of all material collected.
In 1994, a total of $1,187,357 in revenue was received through
the sale of recyclable materials. The average revenue was as
follows: $74 per tonne for newspapers, $26 per tonne for our
unsorted mix of metal cans and plastic drink containers, and
$99 per tonne for cardboard. During the year, revenue unit
prices increased between three and 10 times as the markets for
these recyclables reacted to •industrial supply and demand.
On average, three transport trucks left.the Recycling Centre
every two days with baled newspapers.•~Other trucks delivered
the following materials: five truckloads with a mixture of
metal cans and plastic soft drink containers left every two
days, three truck loads of cardboard left every other day, and
container glass was shipped out every day.
There were 48 Igloo Recycling Sites in total: 16 rural sites,
six mall locations, 13 high rise building or townhouse
complex sites, and 13 other public or business locations.
This reflected a decrease of six locations from the previous
year and this was as a result of the introduction of curbside
blue box collections in some rural areas.
There were several
operation in 1994. significant changes made to the processing
The first occurred in February when the
unsorted mix of me tal food and beverage cans and plastic pop
drink bottles was not sorted or baled. Instead the mix was
sold directly and this resulted in reduced processing costs.
The major second change occurred in May, and again in
November, when the contractor collecting the residential blue
box materials was contracted to deliver the newspaper and
cardboard materials from the City of Oshawa, and then from the
Town of Whitby in a form ready for direct baling. This
further reduced processing costs.

2. SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATIONS AND LANDFILL SITES
Last year was also. busy at the Region's three Transfer
Stations located in Oshawa, Scugog and Cartwright and at the
two Landfill Sites in the former Townships of Scott and Brock.
The Oshawa Transfer Station received a total of 12,388 tonnes
of material, 64$ being garbage waste and 36$ being recyclable.
This was an increase of 1,669 tonnes over 1993 and this
represented an increase of about 16$. All materials received
were placed in 40 cu. yd. bulk containers and there were about
55 containers emptied each week.
In May and June, two traffic studies were undertaken .and the
findings indicated that an average of 4,353 vehicles visited
each week during the study period. The Reuse Trailer operated
by Goodwill Industries received 146 tonnes of material from
11,834 donations and this represented an increase in the
number of donations of about 17$ above last year.
The hazardous household waste depot continued to be popular
with area residents who wished to drAp off such items as
unwanted paint, waste motor oil, oil filters, antifreeze,
propane tanks, auto batteries and a variety of used aerosol
containers. More than half of the paint received was reused
by residents and the other materials were recycled for further
processing to industrial contractors. The household hazardous
waste depot received 12,353 customers during the year.
The Scugog Transfer Station received a total of 3,434 tonnes
of material, 67$ garbage waste and 33$ recyclables. This
represented an increase of 8$ over 1993. Materials received
were generally placed in 40 cu. yd. bulk containers and there
were 985 bulk containers emptied during the year. Two traffic
studies were undertaken, one in May and the second in June,
and the findings indicated that about 1,538 vehicles visit
each week during the study period.

rartwriQht Transfer Station
The Cartwright Transfer Station received a total of 2,293
tonnes of material, 75$ garbage waste and 25~ recyclables,.
This is an increase of 9~ over 1993. Materials received were
placed in 40 cu. yd. bulk containers and there were on average
11 containers emptied each ..week. Two traffic studies were
undertaken and the studies reported that about 800 vehicles
visited each week during May and June .
The Brock Landfill Site and Transfer Station received a total
of 4,968 tonnes of material and this represented an increase
of 145 tonnes or 3~ over 1993. Approximately 88$ of the waste
received was landfilled directly on site and there were 151
containers of recyclable materials taken off site for further
processing. Based on two traffic surveys, the average number
of customers in May and June were 370 per week.
The Scott Landfill Site and Transfer Station diverted 188
tonnes of recyclables using 53 bulk container lifts. Based on
two traffic surveys, the average number of customers per week
during the May and June study period was 180. The site is
only open two days a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
In summary, the total measurable waste received at the
Region's three Transfer Stations and two Landfill Sites was
22,787 tonnes and this represented an overall increase of
about 8$ over 1993. The amount of recyclables diverted from
landfill was 6,951 tonnes or about 31$ of materials received.
During the year, 9,567 bulk containers of recyclables or
garbage waste were transported off our sites for reuse or
disposal and this represents an average rate of 18 containers
each day.

3. CENTRAL COMPOSTING PROGRAM
The ,amount of material received at the Region's leaf and yard
waste composting site decreased in 1994. The Region had
requested the Area Municipalities to discontinue the
collection of grass clippings in order to minimize odours at
the compost site and to fully participate with the Region in
the promotion of grasscycling. The total weight of material
received in 1994 was 7,029 tonnes and this represented a
decrease of 3,094 tonnes or 31~ over 1993. Approximately 88$
of the compost material was delivered by the Area
Municipalities and the compost site continued to be operated
under a service contract.
4. HASTE REDUCTION PROGRAMS
The Region and the Area Municipalities introduced residents to
the concept of grasscycling in 1984. This campaign was
promoted by means of local radio, newspapers, mall displays
and a newsletter with the central theme being that the
recycling of grass clippings on residential lawns is
beneficial and good for the environment.
The total number of backyard home compost units sold during
1994 was 6,713 and this represented an increase of 2,261 units
or 50$ over the previous year. The success of this year's
program was partly due to the active participation of our
distributors, the extra promotion by manufacturers for their
truck load sales and the Increased interest by residents.

Participants in the Region's Industrial, Commercial and
Institutional Waste Reduction program continued to receive
valuable tools to reduce their waste. Among these were
.~ updates to our "Waste .Reduction and Recycling Market
Directory" and our "Waste Reuse & Exchange Bulletin" as well
as a one day business seminar that outlined the importance of
implementing the 3R's. Over 70 businesses .attended the
seminar, up from the 50 that attended our seminar last year
and local interest in the Waste Reuse & Exchange program is
growing steadily.
Goodwill Industries closed their Attended Donation Centre
(ADC) in the Town of Pickering in the spring of 1994 due to
re-development of the plaza site. The ADC had received 2,045
donations during the first 3 months of 1994.
The Region produced its third annual Newsletter, "Durham
Diversions", in the Spring of 1994 and it was distributed to
all households in the Region. Over sixty "3R's" messages were
broadcast on the three local radio stations and six different
newspaper advertisements were.. placed in various local
community newspapers.
Regional staff continued to assist area municipal staff in
producing the 1995 Blue Box Collection Schedule.
5. BLUE HOX COLLECTION PROGRAM
The Region continued to pay for the curbside collection of
residential blue box recyclables and, in 1994, this contracted
service cost about $2 million. Approximately 104,400 stops
were made once every two weeks and the recyclable materials
collected were delivered to the Region's Recycling Centre for
further processing.
In March 1994, the Province introduced the new 3R's
Regulations. For Municipalities, the Regulations mandated
recycling collection, where municipal garbage collection
services are being offered.

6. SUNII~IARY
Progress has been made during 1994 to significantly reduce the
cost of providing recycling services in the Region. Changes
in the methods of processing blue box recyclables has resulted
in savings of more than $1,500,000. These savings, along with
increased revenue generated through the sale of materials and
a full year of subsidy funding from the Ministry of
Environment and Energy, has improved our recycling net cost
per tonne from $144 per tonne, as detailed in the 1994 Budget,
to about $87 per tonne.
We anticipate further improvements in our Solid Waste
Management programs in 1995 as we continue to reduce costs,
receive higher revenues, and revise our programs in order to
further educate residents and promote the benefits of the
3R's: REDUCE - REUSE - RECYCLE.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The United Nations proclaimed 1994 to be the International Year of the Family, based
on the principle that families require special focus and consideration because they
i constitute the basic unit of society.
The Canada Committee for .the International Year of-the Family was established by the
Government of Canada in November 1992, as an arm's length, non-profit organization,
to plan, stimulate and support the participation of citizens, governments and the private
sector in activities to celebrate the International Year.
Canadians are vitally interested in their families. In fact, in a recent national opinion
study of attitudes towards families, no less than 87 per cent of Canadians reported that
family is becoming more important to them.
Our submission details the wide range of activities that have resulted from the
International Year. All of these activities were directed towards increasing awareness
of the contribution made by families to Canadian society and enhancing understanding
of the issues faced by Canadian families.
Based on the tremendous response to the International Year--from all levels of
government, business, labour and professional associations, voluntary organizations,
private companies, the education, media and telecommunications sectors and faith
communities--we conclude that the institutions of Canadian society wholeheartedly agree
with the Canadian people that families are important.
The active_ participation of these institutions became possible only through the
partnership approach that became a hallmark of the Canada Committee's operating
philosophy. Acting as a broker and catalyst, the Committee mobilized groups from all
levels of government, business, education, media and non-government organizations
involved in social and economic policy. ~ Together this alliance conducted research and
developed programs to create the awareness- and education necessary to examine
current issues facing Canadian families.
The collaboration and enthusiasm created by the partnership approach leveraged limited
public resources into significantly greater value, and resulted in a comprehensive
national network which disseminated information in all provinces and territories reaching
Canadian organizations and families in communities across the country.
~i
u
Based on our experience in coordinating the International Year, we believe that much
remains to be done to ensure that .Canadian families are recognized for the vital role
they play in the economic and social life of the country. A key aspect of this role is the
critical contribution made by families to the "civic order" that is the glue of society,
through the teaching of skills, values and attitudes that equip their members to learn,
work and contribute to their communities and the country. When healthy and happy
families are fulfilling these functions, they are doing much to prevent the social problems
that cost our society so dearly, in our health care system, educational institutions, justice
and law enforcement, and labour and training programs.
The Canadian family continues to be bombarded by policies and programs from
governments at all levels as well as from employers, educators and the other major
institutions of society. In many cases, the. impacts of these policies and programs on
families are not considered or anticipated in advance. In our view, what is needed is
a commitment by both public and private institutions for ongoing research and education
on family issues to monitor changing demographic trends and family structures and the
impacts of social and economic policies on families. In addition, there is a continuing
need for the development of tools and resources to assist both governments and the
other key institutions of society in creating policies and programs which support famiWes.
Starting from the premise that families, rather than individuals, are the fundamental unit
of society, we wish to register some concerns relating to the federal discussion paper
Improving Social Security in Canada. For the most part, the paper focuses on existing
programs and the various categories of individuals that make use of these programs,
rather than on the impact of these programs (or the impact of proposed changes in those
programs} on families.
While we recognize the need for reform of many aspects of the social safety net, many
of these are "crosscutting" issues. Eighty-four per cent of Canadians are part of family
units, and the influence of public policies and programs on both individuals and families
is often complex and subtle. Without a way of assessing proposed changes from the
point of view of families, for example, how can we determine the ~ impact of using
household income to gauge eligibility for Unemployment Insurance on families with single
wage eamers, two or more wage earners or seasonal eamers? If it becomes possible
for people to cash in their RRSPs to assist in the costs of their children's education, do
we know if cultural influences will result in some families favouring sons over daughters?
to other words, the interests of individuals can only be fully addressed by considering the
family context in which those individuals exist.
To continue the work of the International Year of the Family, and to bring considerations
of family into the mainstream of public and private sector policy-making, we have two
recommendations to place before Ministers for their consideration:

^ We recommend the creation of a Federal Secretariat for the Family within the
Government of Canada with the following simple mandate:
^ To serve as a catalyst and national coordinating body within the
federal government to initiate research and education on the
changing structure and status of the Canadian family and the impact
of federal policies and programs on the Canadian family;
^ To work as a broker in partnership with provincial/territorial
governments, key institutions and Canadian employers to develop
tools and resources to aid in the development of harmonized policies
and programs which support and strengthen families.
^ To prepare a "family impact assessment statement" on all significant
new federal laws, policies and program initiatives.
^ We recommend the creation of anon-governmental National Family Policy
Organization to act as the national focal point for family policy and to
exercise national leadership on family-related issues. This organization
would have the following mandate:
^ ~ To serve as a national focus for the discussion of family and family-
related issues;
^ To develop expertise on the impact of government statutes, programs
and policies on Canadian families, and to be available to consult with
federal, provincial/territorial and municipal departments and agencies
on these impacts;
^ To collect and coordinate information from public, voluntary and
private sources and to serve as a National Information Centre on
programs and policies relating to families; and
^ To support the research, policy analysis, information and education
functions of the other stakeholders in family policy.

"Here in Canada, 1 have been very impressed by the way that all sectors of
society have been working together to support the International Year of the
Family. They have been consulting with each other, sharing information,
and working toward one common goal...0ur greatest challenge will be to
continue this work after the year is over."
Rt. Hon. Jean Chretien, Address to the International Year of the Family
Conference, Montreal, October 12, 1994
Introduction
The Canada Committee for the International Year of the Family welcomes this
opportunity to report on the experience of the past year and to offer some suggestions
on the future of family policy in Canada.
Our experience in coordinating the activities of the International Year in Canada have
provided us with some insights into the importance of the family to the social fabric of
our country, as well as the impact of existing economic and social policies on Canadian
families.
Background
In 1989, the United Nations proclaimed 1994 to be the International Year of the Family,
based on the principle that families constitute the basic unit of society and therefore
require special focus and consideration.
The Canada Committee for the International Year of the Family (CCIYF) was established
by the Government of Canada in November, 1992, to plan, stimulate and support the
participation of citizens, governments and the private sector in activities to celebrate the
International Year.
The mission of the Canada Committee is to encourage reflection, dialogue and concrete
actions necessary to acknowledge the importance of the family as the key economic and
social resource essential to the development of a progressive and compassionate
society.
The Canada Committee consists of thirty-two members representing all provinces and
territories. The Committee has received a total of $2.06 million from the federal
government for its activities, and functions with a staff of five. It will cease operations
at the end of March 1995, following the close of the International Year.

CCIYF was established as anon-profit organization operating at arm's length from the
federal government. For organizational purposes, the Committee reports to the federal
Minister of Health.
Provinces and munici alities across the count have res onded ositivel to the
N rY N N Y
International Year. All provincial and territorial governments have designated offices
j and/or contact points to coordinate their own IYF activities and to liaise with both the
national and municipal levels.
The Partnership Approach
From the outset, the Canada Committee determined that its principal objective was to
enhance public awareness of the Canadian family. While one goal of the International
Year was to celebrate the contributions that families make to society, an equally
important focus was to address some of the important economic and social issues facing
Canadian families today.
The Canada Committee has implemented its program through amulti-level partnership
approach involving national;. regional and community-based stakeholders. These
stakeholders include departments and agencies within the three levels of government,
business, labour and professional associations, vol~lntary organizations, private
companies, the education and communications sectors, faith communities and
communities across the country. The elements of this partnership approach include:
^ the federal International Year of the Family Secretariat at Health Canada,
coordinating the involvement of all federal departments and agencies;
^ a regional coordinating office in .every province and territory;
^ 200 national partners;
^ hundreds of municipalities coordinating IYF activities within cities, towns and
villages; and
^ thousands of contributing_community organizations, businesses and agencies in
communities across the country.
From the Canada Committee's perspective, the principal national activities of the
International Year have included:
~1

^ Collaboration on the publication Canadian Families by one of our partners, The
Vanier Institute of the Family, to provide the most up-to-date profile of families in
Canada. This 44 page booklet looks at the major structural changes in Canadian
families, how families form, how they balance work and family, make ends meet
and care for each other. 25,000 copies of this publication have been distributed
throughout the country.
r Commissioning of the first-ever comprehensive public opinion survey and study
by the Angus Reid Group and leading experts and academics, on Canadian
attitudes towards family life experience, the relationship between work and family,
and the evolution of the family unit. The results of the survey have been
published in The State of the Family in Canada. This project was sponsored by
the Canada Committee, the Bank of Montreal, Imperial Oil Ltd., Labatt Breweries
of Canada, Nestle, CTV, Macl.ean's and I'Actualite.
^ Publication of Work and Family Challenge: Issues and Options, and the convening
of three national conferences directed at employers, institutions and governments
on the realities of balancing work and family responsibilities. The publication
makes the business case for the need for employers to consider the family
obligations and responsibilities of their employees as an essential component of
competitiveness and productivity. The publication also provides an overview of
the options and approaches far creating family supportive workplaces.
50,000 copies of the publication have been distributed throughout the country, and
the final national Work and Family conference was held in Montreal in November.
The Canada Committee's principal partner for this program was the Conference
Board of Canada, and it was sponsored by MacMillan Bloedel, the Royal Bank of
Canada, Health Canada's Children's Bureau, CN and Bell Canada.
^ Preparation and publication of Tell Me About Your Family, a 123 page learning
and study guide that provides the most current statistical data on the family in
Canada, as well as curriculum suggestions for use in Canadian schools. This
publication was prepared by the Canada Committee in collaboration with The
Vanier Institute of the Family, the Centrale de 1'enseignment du Quebec, the
Bureau Quebecois de I'Annee Internationale de la familfe and the United Nations
Association. in Canada. The guide was broadly endorsed by the education sector,
both nationally and provincially, and by all Ministers of Education, and some
45,000 copies were distributed to all elementary and high schools in nine
provinces and territories in September of this year.
^ Preparation of a special Year of the Family issue of Teach Magazine, a 48 page
educational magazine featuring numerous articles about the evolution of the
family and its impact on education. Approximately 40,000 English language and
10,000 French language versions of the magazine have been distributed to all
schools in Canada.

These descriptions provide but a brief glimpse of the key national programs initiated and
co-sponsored by the Canada Committee. At the provincial and local level, thousands
of additional activities have resulted from the International Year:
^ Over 500 national and local organizations have officially endorsed the
International Year and its principles.
^ The elected councils of more than 400 cities and towns have proclaimed the
International Year within their municipal boundaries, while hundreds more actively
participated.
^ In every province and territory, and in hundreds of individual communities across
the country, activities ranging from panel discussions, conferences and surveys,
to newspaper editorials, radio and television features and broadcasts, special
awards, events activities and festivals have celebrated the International Year and
addressed important family issues.
What do all of these activities mean? Has the International Year had tangible effects on
public policy, and what have we learned from the experience?
1. The International Year has created a tremendous increase in awareness of the
role and contribution of families to Canadian society. Canadians have told us that
families are important, but there is significant evidence that they are also worried
about the future of the family. While the Angus-Reid poll found that 67 per cent
of Canadians believe family is the "greatest joy" in their lives, a majority believe
that the family is an institution in crisis.
2. There is improved understanding of the changing structures of families, the need
for attention to family-friendly work environments, and the importance of parents
and educators working together as partners in the education of young people.
3. Canadians are increasingly knowledgeable about both the number and impacts
of public and private sector decisions on the family. Canadians are also
beginning to recognize the benefits of harmonizing government and employer
decisions on families. Canadians expect all parts of society to work together to
support families.
4. Provinces are developing a significant interest in family-supportive policies and
programs. .British Columbia and Alberta have established family advisory
councils within their respective provincial governments, and Quebec has both a
Minister Responsible for the Family and a Family Secretariat that forms part of the
~~ Premier's Office. Last month, New Brunswick became the second province to
create a cabinet level family policy secretariat with a Minister of State for the
Family. The creation of this new agency was supported by a grant of $200,000
from the federal Minister of Human Resources Development.
-5-
5. In an era when governments, the voluntary sector and businesses are frequently.
criticised for not working together, the experience of the International Year
suggests strongly otherwise. Partnership works! The partnership approach to
implementing the activities of the International Year has promoted collaboration
instead of competition. This collaboration resulted in the three levels of
government working with each other as well as with voluntary agencies and the
private sector. Partnership has also proven very effec#ive in attracting private
sector support for IYF initiatives. The Canada Committee has raised roughly
$500,000 in private sector sponsorships and revenue, and has been the
beneficiary of more than $1 million worth of in-kind sponsorships. Similar private
sector support at the provincial/territorial and municipal level valued in the
millions.
6. Cooperation among all of the partners, sponsors and stakeholders occurred
during the International Year for two key reasons. First, the idea of family was so
uniting a concept that most stakeholders chose to put aside differences and
jurisdictional concerns to work in common cause. Second, many of the
government and voluntary stakeholders learned that they could obtain private
sector and business support for projects if they took a cooperative and
entrepreneurial approach. If they were creative in making a good "business
case," success usually resulted. The proof of this statement is in the range of
projects that were successfully accomplished and in number and value of
partnerships the Canada Committee and its provincial counterparts were able to
obtain.
Families and Family Policy
Reflecting the diversity of society and of family life as Canadians live it, there is no single
or generally accepted definition of what constitutes a family. Indeed, as The Vanier
Institute of the Family noted in its recent publication Canadian Families, there are at
least seven different kinds of families or family structures in Canada today.
For the purposes of coordinating Canadian participation in the International Year, the
Canada Committee has adopted the United Nations definition of family, which focuses
on the functions performed by the family. This definition characterizes the family as "the
basic unit of society...appreciated for the important socio-economic functions that it
performs." According to the UN, the family:
"continues to provide the natural framework for the emotional, financial and
material support essential to the growth and development of its members,
particularly infants and children, and for the care of other dependents, including
the elderly, disabled and infirm....it can, and often does, educate, train, motivate
and support its individual members, thereby investing in their future growth and
acting as a vital resource for development."1
t
~i
l~

Definitions of family are of more than academic interest. Family structures and functions
affect, and are affected by, a wide range of public and private sector policies, including
justice, health, urban planning, transportation, taxation, personnel and other workplace
rules and prac#ices, pensions, the regulations and benefits of life and health insurance
plans, and the procedures of schools and other public institutions.
If definitions of family .influence the objectives and directions of public and private
policies and programs, the opposite is also true-these same policies and programs
impact on the ability of families to fulfil their functions and responsibilities. As a result,
over the years various efforts have been made in Canada to develop the rationale for
a comprehensive "family policy" that would coordinate all public policies that impact on
families. Some have even argued that one department of government or a new agency
would be useful in coordinating all programs and policies that affect families.
These attempts to refocus government in a comprehensive family context have always
failed because of the magnitude of coordinating the huge number of programs that
impact on families. The concept of a coordinating body to support government
departments and agencies in developing policies and programs that impact on families
has never been explored. There is no coordinating body with an overview of both
federal and provincial activities relating to families.. There is no central point of
information and expertise a# the national level to assist and support governments at all
levels that require this information. Yet the imperative for public policies and programs
to be more sensitive to the needs of families remains.
As a result, we were struck by the fact that the federal discussion paper Improving
Social Security in Canada lacks any unifying or overarching vision of the kind of society
Canadians want to have. In addition, the paper focuses on existing programs and the
various categories of individuals that make use of these programs, rather than on the
impact of these programs on families. Indeed, the interests of Canadian families are
addressed in only passing fashion by the paper.
We find this oversight curious for the following reason. There are close to 7.5 million
families in Canada, and 84 per cent of Canadians live in family households.
Furthermore, 87 per cent of Canadians reported recently that family is becoming more
important to them. Therefore, it appears to us that if the Government of Canada wishes
to chart a new course for social security, it must do so in a family context and with some
vision of the role and contribution of families to Canadian society, because most
Canadians live within a family structure.

What Comes After the International Year?
In Canada, international years have often been important milestones in the development
of public awareness and public policy. The international years of women (1975), children
(1979), the disabled (1981) and literacy (1990) all left their mark on Canadian society.
These years helped to define progress because their objectives were embraced by the
key elements of Canadian society--citizens, governments, business, labour, the voluntary
sector and faith communities--and because they focused attention on issues that needed
to be addressed. In the case of women and literacy, federal government secretariats
were established prior to the International Year; in the. case of children and the disabled,
federal secretariats were created following the Year.
What will be the legacy of the International Year of the Family? We believe that this
legacy can be profound, •if the lessons we have learned are implemented within
Canadian institutions and communities, and within all levels of government.
We hope to leave as our legacy an environment conducive to positive social
change, an environment in' which families and family-related issues are always
taken into consideration by Canadian institutions as a matter of essential socio-
economic practice.
Therefore, after an intensive and exciting year of working to increase public awareness
of Canadian families, we have a number of observations and recommendations on the
future of social and economic policy and their impacts on Canadian families.
1. The Need for Coordination
As we have noted throughout this presentation, one of the principal conclusions of our
experience in the past year is that families are bombarded by decisions and policies of
both the public and private sectors. Moreover, the impact of many of these decisions
is often not thought through or anticipated by governments and industry. These issues
are beginning to be addressed--witness the widespread interest of business in creating
family-friendly workplaces--but much more needs to be done.
During the past year we have found both public and private institutions extremely , '
receptive to the message that they could do more to support the Canadian family.
Several provinces have established family councils to coordinate provincial programs
relating to families and to advise Premiers and senior Ministers of the impact of
provincial programs and policies on families. As we will argue shortly, we believe that ,
the federal government would benefit significantly from creating a similar structure to
serve as a focal point for family issues, to coordinate national programs and policies that
impact on families, and to play a leadership role in relation to the many stakeholders with
an interest in this area.
-8-
2. Research and Policy Analysis
The need for a focal point and national coordination extends well beyond the federal
government. One of the hallmarks of the International Year has been the degree to
which all stakeholders have worked together to increase awareness about the
importance of families and to address family-related issues. This includes government,
business, labour and professional associations, voluntary organizations, private
companies, the education and communications sectors, faith communities and local
communities across the country.
Much of the work initiated by the International Year will continue, because there is a wilt
to build on the successes of the Year. What all of these groups need in order to
continue the work of the International Year is a base of research, policy analysis and
information. With such a base in place, they will be able to continue the process of
educating Canadian citizens and institutions about the importance of evolving family
structures, the soca-economic impacts of public and private policies on families, and
public attitudes towards families.
We understand that the federal government is considering funding fora new
organization, the Canadian Policy Research Network, that is interested in developing
three academically-oriented policy research networks on training, family policy and health
care. This would be a positive development, but there.would remain the need for the
results of this research to be made relevant to the many stakeholders in the family policy
field and communicated widely.
3. Information and Education
Finally, we come to the related issues of information and education. The International
Year has .generated a huge amount of information about families and family issues.
Much of this information resulted from the partnerships and sponsorships initiated by the
Canada Committee, but additional valuable material was created by other partners and
stakeholders.
The demand for information materials about families and family issues will not disappear
with the close of the International Year. Easy access to this information will be critical
to continuing the process of educating Canadians about the contribution of the family to
the social and economic life of the country. There will be a continuing need for this
material to be collected, coordinated and distributed to interested parties across the
country.
-9-
4. Work and the Family
We have noted at several points in this presentation the growing recognition of the
importance of the work and family issue, involving as it does the changing nature of work
in Canada and its impact on family structures and the constant balancing of work and
family demands. The Canada Committee believes that a significant start has been made
on addressing this issue during the International Year, but that much more needs to be
done. We are pleased to note that the Conference Board and most of the corporate
partners in the Work and- Family Challenge Program have indicated that they will be
continuing to build on the experience of the past year and carry this program forward.
How Can These Needs Be Met?
We have identified a number of issues that need to be addressed in carrying forward the
valuable work on behalf of Canadian families that was initiated by the International Year.
To recapitulate, these include coordination, research and policy analysis, information and
education, and continued attention to the issue of work and family. We have also noted
at several points in this submission that many who have been partners and sponsors of
the Canada Committee and the International. Year are committed to additional work on
these issues.
We readily acknowledge the constraints currently faced by the federal and other
governments in Canada--scarce dollars, concerns about overlap and duplication, etc.,--
and consequently we have tailored our recommendations to have minimal fiscal
implications. Indeed, what we are proposing will ultimately save governments significant
dollars because it will lead to much more effective use of existing resources and will
largely be funded by private sector dollars.
Recommendations
What is the best way for the Government of Canada to indicate a proactive and
continuing interest in Canadian families? We believe there are two key steps that need
to be taken:
1. The creation of a permanent Federal Secretariat for the Family within the
Government of Canada; and
2. The creation of anon-government National Family Policy Organization.
-10-
A Federal Secretariat for the Family
We recommend the creation of a permanent Federal Secretariat for the Family
within the Government of Canada with the following simple mandate:
^ To serve as a catalyst and coordinating body within the federal government
to initiate research and education on the changing structure and status of
the Canadian family and the impact of federal policies and programs on the
Canadian family;
^ To work as a broker in partnership with provincial/territorial governments,
key institutions and Canadian employers to develop tools and resources to
aid in the development of harmonized policies and programs which support
and strengthen families.
^ To prepare a "family impact assessment statement" on all significant new
federal laws, policies and program initiatives.
We understand that with the,close of the International Year, the federal Secretariat for
the International Year of the Family will close its doors. This will leave the federal
government without a presence in family policy, at a time when an increasing number
of provinces are giving greater attention to families and family policy issues, and at a
time when the desire of Canadians for their governments to be far more supportive of
families has never been higher.
The establishment of a permanent federal secretariat would establish a parallel between
the Government of Canada and the growing number of provinces that have established
such agencies. Typically, such organizations at the provincial level have central agency
status, in that they either form part. of the Cabinet Office (Quebec) or are advisory to the
Premier's Office (Alberta). The advantage of central agency status is obvious--it is
infinitely easier to play a meaningful coordinating role when the agency is at the centre
of the Cabinet decision-making process. We believe the new Federal Secretariat for the
Family should report to the Prime Minister.
A National Family PolicYOrganization
We recommend the creation of a National Family Policy Organization to act as the
national focal point for family policy and to exercise national leadership on family-
related issues. This NGO would have the following mandate:
^ To serve as a national focal point for the discussion of family and family-
related issues;
-11
^ To develop expertise on the impact of government statutes, programs and
policies on Canadian families, and to be available to consult with federal,
provincial/territorial and municipal departments and agencies on these
impacts;
^ To collect and coordinate information from public, voluntary and private
sources and to serve as a National Information Centre on programs and
policies relating to families;
^ To support the research, policy analysis, information and education
functions of other stakeholders in family policy.
We believe the creation of this organization is essential in continuing the work begun by
the International Year. Implementing this objective will not require an entire new
structure, nor will it be expensive. We have noted throughout this submission that
partnership and sponsorship by the private sector have been the hallmarks of the
International Year. As a result, there are many resources and capabilities already in
place. All they need is some encouragement and they will get the job done.
Cooperation and action to create this network is already under way among a number of
the partners and sponsors involved in the International Year. The elements of this
emerging network include:
Provincial/TerritoriaUMunicipal Family Secretariats and Advisory Committees
Major national Non-Government Organizations:
^ The Vanier Institute of the Family
^ The Conference Board of Canada
^ The Canadian Association of Home Economists
^ Family Services Canada
Major foundations
The education sector
The media and telecommunications sectors
The Canadian Policy Research Network
All of these organizations and groups have indicated a willingness to continue the work
started by the International Year within their respective mandates.
r
-12-
Financing
Much has been accomplished through the International Year of the Family. It is
important to note that this was possible only due to the seed money made available
through the Canada Committee. As noted earlier, the partnership and sponsorship
approach taken by the Canada Committee multiplied the value of that seed money
several times. But the $2.06 million budget provided the Canada Committee by the
Government of Canada provided the impetus for all of the research, policy analysis,
information and other activities that were generated by the International Year.
A minimal amount of financing is required to initiate the National Family Policy
Organization, to ensure that the valuable lessons learned and the networks created
through the International Year are not lost, and to continue enhancing public awareness
of the importance of the Canadian family. Total annual funding of $1.5-$2 million would
provide a sufficient base for operations. Of this amount, $500,000 is already accounted
for in the annual budget of The Vanier Institute of the Family, which is acknowledged as
the lead national, non-government organization in the field of family policy. The Institute
is prepared to play a significant role as the pricipal focus for the activities of the National
Family Policy Organization. Assuming that private sector sponsorships and contributions
from national foundations would account for another $500,000, this leaves the remaining
$1 million to be covered by a grant from the Government of Canada.
We therefore propose federal transitional funding of $4.million over a five year period to
support the initiation and development of the National Family Policy Organization. We
would propose that the funds be allocated at a level of $500,000 in the first year, $1
million in each of the second, third and fourth years, and $500,000 in the fifth and final
year.
This funding would be used initially to define, with the assistance of public and private
partners and sponsors, the Organization's family policy research, education and outreach
mandate. Second, building on the experience of the International Year, the Organization
would build on the partnerships and sponsorships initiated during 1994 to create
additional joint projects funded in part by partners and sponsors. We anticipate that by
the fifth year of the project, partnerships and sponsorships would be generating sufficient
income for the Network to be close to self-sustaining.
Conclusion
~-
Wtth 84 per cent of Canadians living within one family structure or another. family policy
is everybody's business. No single level of government is solely responsible for
Canadian families; every level of government impacts on families, and there are many
other stakeholders with both a continuing interest in, and resources to devote to, the
interests of Canadian families. But the federal government must be part of this process.

There are 7.4 million families in Canada. At a time when some observers, and indeed t
many Canadians, believe the family is in crisis, the majority of this country's citizens also ^~
continue to believe the family is our most important social institution. The International
Year of the Family has touched a wellspring of awareness, interest, creativity and action
on family policy and family issues throughout Canadian society.
As the International Year draws to a ciose, now is the time to respond positively to the ~
results of the Year, to build on its achievements. - It is time to make Canadian families ~ 4
once again the centrepoint of our economic and social policies, of our national life.

The International Year of the Family
(lYF) has been a revealing interna-
tional experience. The family has
been rediscovered as a major subject
and object of social policy interven-
tion and as an important agent. The
Year has shown, above all, that
notwithstanding the diversity of their
forms and functions, families world-
wide have a lot in common, and
many of the problems confronting
them are very much alike.
Born without resources, the IYF has
grown into a global movement of
unique dimensions, with an impres-
sive record of accomplishment.
Since the proclamation of the Year
by the General Assembly- in 1989,
IYF programmes have been
launched at the national and local
levels in over 150 countries.
Governmental and non-governmental
organizations alike have undertaken
a vast array of special projects,
unprecedented research ventures and
thousands of events in preparation
and observance of the Year. Now, as
1994 comes to a close we ask, What
is Next?
For some time, there has been much
interest among different cities of the
world in tackling collectively the
most pressing problems afflicting
urban families. The IYF Patron
Cities Project (also known as the IYF
Local Government and Corporations
Program) was conceived as a means
of stimulating specific action on
behalf of families by promoting the
direct and active participation of
major cities of the world to bring for-
ward the initiatives and actions being
used locally to aid the family.
Salt Lake City and County, planning
the World Conference of cities, local
government and private sector part-
ners on families, will focus on fami-
Henryk J. Sokolski
Coordinator, IYF
ly-oriented policies and programmes
in urban areas. The IYF Secretariat
is fully associated with the project.
A city can be proclaimed an IYF
Patron City by attending the World
conference this March 16-19, 1995.
Cities may also pronounce their own
agendas for observance of the IYF
and initiate programmes which
strengthen the family during and
after the year.
I wish to thank our IYF partners at all
levels for their hard work, determina-
tion and devotion to the Year's
ideals. We still need you. Ahead o1
us is a daunting task summarized b}
the Secretary-General of the Unitec
Nations on the occasion of thf
International Day of Families on 1:
May 1994: "We must establish
partnership with families in the for
mutation of a new social contrac
enabling all of us to face challenge;
of the Twenty-First Century in al
sectors of human activity. We mus
continue our efforts to restore the
place of people in development
enriched by our diversity and nout
fished by our commitment to a worl~
at peace." The World Conference i
March will help us establish such
partnership and create just such
contract. Please join us!
Salt Lake City is 1«ated in a valley of
'the Rocky Mountains; and can still
be chilly during the early spring
months. Remember.to bring a locket
with you to the conference this March.

1994 International Year of the Family
The United Nations General
Assembly, in its resolution of
ecernber 8, 1989, proclaimed 1994
s the International Year of the
amity. The theme of the Year is
"Family: Resoi.rnces and Responsibilities
~n a Changing World."
The following principles underline
the family proclamation:
a) The family constitutes the
,, ~ basic unit of society and there
fore warrants special attention.
(b) Families assume diverse forms
and functions from one country
to another, and within each
national society.
c) Activities of the International
Yeaz of the Family will seek to
promote the basic human rights
and fundamental freedoms
accorded to all, whatever the status
of each individual, and whatever
^~ 1 the status and form and condition
l of that family.
(d) Policies will aim at fostering
~~
l~
equality between women and
men within families and bring
about a fuller sharing of domestic
responsibilities and employment
opportunities.
(e) Programs should support families
in the discharge of their functions,
rather than provide substitutes
for each function.
The official emblem of the
International Year of the Family con-
sists of a heart, sheltered by a roof,
linked by another heart, to symbolize
life and love in a home where one
finds warmth, caring, security,
togetherness, tolerance and accep-
tance. The open design is meant to
indicate continuity with a hint of
uncertainty and was created' by a
Swiss-born artist residing in Vienna,
Austria.

MLJr1ICIPALTTIF,S URGE PRUV~NCE TO PREPARE F(:-R 1996 NC~W
TURC)NTO - In a letter to Premier Bob Rae, the Association of Municipaaities of Ontario today
called upon tho .Provinaal Government to begin preparing for the future. transfer payment cuts
'~ announced in yesterday's Federal budget.
1
;:1
"Tile Province has made it very clear that transfer payment levels to the broader public sector in
general and municipalities is particular would be directly affected by this feaderal budget," said Bill
`=~ Mickle, Reeve of Exeter and AMC) President. 'They are in a position now where they have a full
yeFtr to prepare for these cuts, and we would urge them to sit down with municipalities and other
transfer partners to discuss in advance how to deal with the situation eolleetiwely :' '
The Association was relieved to note that, aside from a 1,5 cent per litre gas trot increase, the Federal
;~
Budget held few measures that would affect municipalities directly. However, the loss of 45,000 civil
service jobs could increase social assistance costs to municipalities.
t
Several areas of municipal concern not addressed in the Budget also sti~ke a positive note in
E municipalities. "We were pleased to see that the federal government had chosen not to change
municipal status with respect to the GST, that grants-in-lieu on Crown Lands were not affected, and
that the federal-provincial infrastructure program was not changed:' said Mr. Mickle.

However, the immediate concern involves how the Province plans to deal with the transfer payment
cuts for 1996 and beyond. With twelve months to prepare, the Association •t~elieves that now is the
time for the provincial government to begin addressing the problem and developing long-term
solutions.
"'Y'I~a Social Contract ends in 1996, and that will bring a lot of pressure on municipalities to vope with
the: cuts that have been made already," said Mr. Mickle. "We have consistantla called for changes that
will help us deliver government services more effectively and at an affordable cost. We are prepared
to work with the provincial government to develop ways of making governrnen~- more efficient and cost
effective, and would urge them to begin this process immediately."
The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) is a non-profit organization with membership
frc m approximately 700 of Qntario's 817 municipal governments, representing; over 95 per cent of the
prcwince's population.

a) Window & Conservatory Tender
The Chairman, Larry Paradis, reported that out of four (4)
bids received, three (3) had met the criteria as established by the
Town Authorites and the Engineering firm of fiotten, Sims, Hubicki
Associates. "The Building Place"s bid ($30,600) was deemed
improper because of insurance qualifications. The other bids, from:
Veenstra Construction - $36,900
Krako Contracting - $27,700
Class Glass - $19,145
will be scrutized by Totton, Sims, Hubicki, the Town Pura'~asing
Department, and the Museum Board Property Committee for
presentation to the Board for final decision and approval. Queries
were raised about the low bid from Class Glass, but it was pointed
out that this company does glazing only, and is not a general
contractor.
c) Kitchen Unit
Warner Fehn has been in touch with Sher Leetooze, and is
following up with Brandom Kitchens as to the status of the unit.
During discussion it was found that sketches and measurements had
been made of the area and submitted to Brandom. The board is under
the impression that no costs will be involved, and Warner will
follow through with Sher and Brandom Kitchens to ensure that this
is so.

Day celebrations in their present form without a subsidy.

Morrison, the first Superintendent ~of Nurses at Bowmanville
Hospital (1913-15). Of special interest was the mechanical desk
calculator.

boxes of dolls that were her mothers' to the Museum.. As they would
be quite valuable for the Toy Exhibit scheduled for April, it was
decided that some Committee members would arrange to pick them up
on March 4 ('95) and he1p:G~. Ashton go through them for the
display.

Board members, and working with the BIA on their spring festival
with displays, perhaps a tour, or members in period costumes
helping with photos &tc. Charles advised that Reng HXland from
"the Bay" (Oshawa Centre) had called about a promotion• using the
museum's period clothing collection. In ensuing discussion W. Fehn
suggested offering a type of Corporate sponsorship for well-known
retailers and companies in the region; Mary Novak suggested a
minimum "donation" of $100 for corporate membership, and 3.t was
recommended that the Communications Committee further examine the
possibilties of corporation/business sponsorship or patronage.

10. NEW BUSINESS: _~`'
a) 1995 Capital Budget.& Four Year Forecast
Clayton Morgan advised that discussions with Ellen Logan had
indicated no change in the forecast as provided by copies to the
board members, except that the rebuilding/repairs to the potting
shed had been postponed until after the Carriage House
construction, which is ~to become a priority immediately upon
completion of the Window & Conservatory rebuilding/repair. It was
noted that all projects are split one-third for the museum and
two-thirds for the Town. Clayton also advised that the overall
projected budget for the Carriage house ~is down somewhat, to
$300,000 rather than 500,000, because the plans have been scaled
down a little, without compromising the actual space or design.
Some questions were put to P. Pingle and M. Novak,
councillors, as to how the Town Council determines the Capital
Works Budget, and if a decrease in funding is imminent. The board
was advised that the report in our hands is unlikely to change,
but, it is very important for the Museum Board to report to and
attend Council at least quarterly to advise progress on the
Museum's fundraising activities and successes. ~,
Larry Paradis encouraged the Finance and Planning Committee to
get full information on what grants are available from both the
Provincial and Federal Governments as regards Museum expansions &tc.

~~ b) Fundraising Committee
Clayton Morgan followed up previous discussion on fund-raising
tied in with the need for the Board to keep in touch with Council
and the Town, apprising them of all developments in funds, drives
ideas; educate the board in how the political machinery works at
all levels of government. Approaching Kenner and Mattel for
patronage of the doll collection was suggested, as was the idea of
a "brainstorming" meeting for future plans, with the eventual
outcome of a specific game plan. Using "Bingo" was another method,
but caution would have to be used. In all aspects, the next period
j of the Museum's Board will involve heavy committment. After more
J discussion, a motion was made. to streamline the business part of
the board; meetings by; not -having written reports gone through
~~ verbally, :but that each member mark them with any queries for
discussion if necessary. It was also suggested that the next
meeting be forwarded' to 6:30 p.m. for a fundraising
"brainstorming"/discussion only until 8:00 p.m., and the regular
business end start then.:
Motion - t~iat the next Museum Board Mgeting be called at 6:30 p.m; 95-A-28

p~}rposes of fording a 'fundraising plan

all board members put their ideas on paper in order of feasibility
or desirability,'1, 2, ;or 3. The sheets will be pooled and all
results of N°1 will be scrutinized and compared with others to
decide upon a consensus of a fund-raising plan. Diane McKenzie
volunteered to receive the idea sheets and arrange some a priority
list.

Board Resolution on CIPSI
The Fads:
O:n February 23rd and February 24th, the AMO office received cornespondence from
CIPSI and the MOEE outlining their formal response to the AMO Board's
N(~vember 1994 Resolution on CIPSI.
The Ontario Paper Users Group (OPPUG), in discussions with A,MO and MOEE,
hss committed to address the voluntary stewardship of newspaper and possibly paper
fit-re. A working group, consisting of AI11~i0, OPPUt~, and MOEE urill be established
to develop an appropriate stewardship model to resolve the paper funding issue.
. G~rrespondence from CIPSI outlined CIPSI's commitment to ameitld its June 8,1994
proposal in response to public consultations and AMO's position paper on CIPSI.
C'fPSI also offered to have a representative address the Board. A~/i0 invited CIPSI
to send representatives to the Board of Directors meeting on Feb><•uary 24, 1995, to
make a brief presentation outlining their possible amendments.
A•t the February 24th meeting, CIPSI made a ten minute presentation to the AMO
B(~ard of Directors before departing. The presentation was followed by a Board
discussion on product stewardship. During the debate on the CIPSI proposal, the

gc-vernment representatlves towards resolving Blue Box funding; questions. The
i Bl~ard recognizes that CTPSI's efforts are independent of the Provi.:nce and the Fibre
'~_J industry but argued that, as stated in the November 25, 1994 resolr.~tion, full product

King Street Bar & Grill
36 King St. E
Bowmanville, Ont.
L1C 1N2
Dear Sir:
I would like to thank you, in advance, for bailing me out of an aggravating
situation .
Approximately a year and a half ago a group of sometimes up to twelve couples
would frequent your bar for chicken wings and beer every Thursday night. For a
considerable amount of time the experience was extremely enjoyable. However, over the
past six months your food began to leave much to be desired .
On a number of occasions, I spoke to your waitress about the deteriorating quality
of the food .
Weeks passed and the trend did not improve. I finally became thoroughly fed up
on a particular occasion, returned my wings and refused to pay for them. However, I
did pay for the beer.
Approximately two weeks ago the group returned to your premises .
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend. When they tried to place an order they were told
the entire group had been BANNED from the King Street Bar and Grill
Ironically, upon hearing this news I was elated since I was going to take
advantage of an opportunity to enjoy a fair and equitable return for my hard earned dollars
each Thursday night elsewhere.
As a sixteen- year resident of Bowwmanville I have prided myself in shopping
locally in order to support local merchants and keeping as many dollars as possible in the
local economy .
A community such as Bowmanville will become a less desirable place to live if the
majority of the residents treat it as simply a bedroom community. Such communities, as
a general rule, suffer from poor services, low self- esteem and become breeding grounds
for crime . The outflow of disposable income by residents fosters growth and prosperity
elsewhere.
In order to understand the financial impact to the community one must perform
some simple math . Each Thursday night four couples venture out for dinner in
Bowmanville. On an average they spend $30.00 per couple, the merchant has a gross
sale of $120.00 plus gratuity. The following week ten couples leave behind $300.00 in
7
~, gross sales. Gross purchases by an average of four couples on a yearly basis would be
- ~ approximately $ 6,000.00 which unfortunately, is now leaving the community. I have
enclosed my most resent Master Card statement that confirms the dollar value I spent
outside the community.
1 The waitress that served us on the night of the incident expressed her concern
about the treatment of our group and as a result handed in her resignation. The
disturbing fact is that this lady is a single mother who took on a second job in order to
1 provide a better life for her children. Now she has sacrificed added family income. She
1 has no ties to the above group other than a weekly involvement at King Street Bar and
Grill.
Are we returning to Medieval times where employees aze penalized for concerns
about customer relations ?
Travelling back and forth to Toronto each day I often wonder how many business
establishments would be very happy to accept my disposable income. Like myself many
other residents from the Bowmanville azea have the same options of where to dispose of
our discretionary earnings.
With the onset of new malls planned for the future, local businesses will be
confronted by major challenges from U. S. corporate giants, which will inevitably cause
serious deterioration of the downtown core .
Mr.Anyan is this the type of community you desire to inhabit ?
Yours truly,
Douglas Paul O'Neill

Auditors' Report
We have audited the balance sheet of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority as at
December 31, 1994 aril the statements of operations and surplus and continuity of reserves for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Conservation Authority's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit. ..
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards
require that we plan and pertorm an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit indudes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disdosures in the financial statements. An audit also indudes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority as at December 31, 1994 and the results of its
operations for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles described in the
summary of significant accounting policies.

challenge in proclaiming March 21 and to help make our Campaign for
1995 the best ever. I should let you know that in 1994 over 140
municipalities took part in the commemoration. This is heartening. But in
1995 we can do better! As leaders in our communities, our efforts must be
geared to strengthening the social fabric and improving the quality of life
of all Canadians no matter what their race, creed, or colour might be.

As you may recall, on October 26, 1966, the United Nations General
Assembly passed a resolution proclaiming March 21 as the International
Day forthe Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The event commemorates
an incident in South Africa when a peaceful rally against Apartheid ended
with the death of sixty-nine blacks and 180 wounded. Subsequently, in
1988, ministers representing Canada's ten provinces and two territories
agreed at a conference on human rights to commemorate March 21 in all
jurisdictions in Canada. 1 am pleased to say ,that FCM's effort is now
.distinctively a Canadian one in which municipal government is in ;the
vanguard. .
Community leaders are telling us that racism has taken an anti-
immigrant slant; despite. research indicating that there are.many positive.
benefits accruing ~ from .immigration. During tough economic times,
newcomers among us and those who may appear.;"different" are often
scrutinized in an unfair-way. We have recently been reminded that people
of ~ all racial. origins make up "the human infrastructure' ; positive race
relations;.therefore, will enhance this fact as well as strengthen the bond
that keeps us all united as Canadians.
I enclose some material containing suggestions that-you will find
helpful in commemorating March 21. I hope we can all take up the

AGENDA
~: A~MEIVDMENr TO ONTARIO FIRE CODE
Enclosed is a copy of a resolution passed unanimously by Scarborough Council on January
18, 1995.
This resolution calls on the Government of Ontario to amend the Ontario Fire Code to make
it mandatory that buildings four floors and up post on the inside of every suite door and near
or in every elevator instructions on what to do in case of a fire.
The recent fire in North York which claimed six lives may not have been so tragic had there
been a greater level of public education as to what to do ~in case of a fire.
I hope that you will consider encouraging your Council to put forward a_similar motion:~;--"~;~~~'~~~~

COUNCIL DIRECTION
January 30, 1995
Honourable Mayor, and Council Members,
On behalf of the Hampton Community Hall Board Association, we would like to approach
council with a request for financial assistance in respect to making some long overdue
improvements to our Community Centre.
We are looking at:
- doing repairs to interior walls, around doors and windows due to water damage
- putting in a drop ceiling with extentions to the electrical, new large florescent
lights with small spot lights
- replacing water damaged ceiling tiles in the mens washroom, sanding down and
varathaning the present stage, stripping and rewaxing the floors.
Also we are going to repaint, in two tone colours, the main hall, bathrooms, kitchen, cloakroom,
main entrance way and epoxy paint the stairs in the entrance.
We have been doing some fundraising over the past few years, and are finally able to
cover the costs of these improvements with the exception of the.drop ceiling. The cost of the
ceiling alone is approximately $3,500.00, with the total cost of the project approximately
$6.500.00 .
The current ceiling is a mass of wires and pipes that are not attractive or appealing to
potential renters or the people presently utilizing our Community Centre. The Centre is very
much a focal point in this Community, with New Life AA Group on Mondays, two Brownie packs
on Tuesdays, Pathfinders on Wednesday, and Scouts on Thursdays, leaving Friday, Saturday
and Sundays for rentals.
We feel that these long overdue improvements to the Community Centre would increase
our rental base and therefore eliminate the chance of approaching Council for assistance in the
future.
We are also fully aware that the status of the building that houses our Community Centre
is "Surplus" and therefore its future is uncertain. However, we were declined a grant, applied
through Community Services, for the ceiling three years ago because of its status. The Board
feels that it is time for this limbo condition to end , if only in the mind of this Community, as we
have now been guaranteed a long term lease in the event the building is sold. These major
D-9
1
t
improvements will enhance and increase the value of this property and also create a feeling of
pride in our Community Centre.
We would like to take this opportunity to invite council to come and assess whether or
not this request is not only reasonable, but necessary.
We gratefully submit this request for your consideration and anxiously await your
decision.
Yours truly,
Beth Knowler , Vice Chairperson.
Hampton Community Association.

I am writing to seek your assistance and support for our fourth annual Green Ribbon of
'lope Campaign commemorating National Missing Children's Day on May 25, 1995.
he abduction a
nd subsequent murder of 15 year old Kristen French on April 16, 1992,
hocked and outraged the community of St. Catharines, Ontario. Kristen's fellow
tudents and the faculty of Holy Cross Secondary School in St. Catharines, who
ctively participated in the community search for her, developed the concept of The
Green Ribbon of Hope. The students and staff of Holy Cross generously directed that
`°he green ribbon be used exclusively as a symbol for Child Find.
Green is the colour of hope and symbolizes a light in the darkness for missing
^hildren. It serves as an expression of our thoughts for missing children, including
:.heir families and friends.
Each year, the Missing Children's Registry operated by the RCMP records thousands of
eports of missing children. Classified as runaways, wandered off, or the victims of
arental or stranger abduction. These innocent children represent the future even
though circumstances are attempting to rob .that right. You can play a vital role in
>nsuring their future as well as helping to prevent similar circumstances from
efal~:ing other youngsters by supporting the fourth annual Green Ribbon of Hope
ampaign.
hild :ind ntario Inc., the provincial arm of Child Find Canada, is a registered non-
rofit charitable organization established in 1983 whose mandate is to educate
children an3 adults about abduction prevention as well as to assist in the search for
~issi^~ ch_=dren.
It is ~~ur intent to ensure the broadest recognition possible is given to the
cignificanc~ of the "Green Ribbon". This will be accomplished through a variety of
eans;nclu:iing a media blitz and the distribution of thousands of "Green Ribbons"

Dear Members of Council,

"Physiotherapy: Celebrating the Past, Shaping the Future" is the
theme of National Physiotherapy Week, April 23-28, 1995.
Physiotherapy is a form of health care that prevents, identifies,
corrects and alleviates acute or prolonged movement dysfunction of
anatomic or physiologic origin. The primary objective of physiotherapy is
to promote human health and function. Today's physiotherapists work in
health care centres, the community, industry, sports and research.
By publically declaring the week of April 23-28 Physiotherapy Week in
Clarington, you will help us (the Rehabilitation Staff at Memorial Hospital,
Bowmanville) to increase awareness of physiotherapy. Please see the
enclosed declaration. As well we have invited the Mayor to attend our Open
House Monday April 24 at 9:00 a.m. and extend that invitation to all
members of Council.
Thankyou for helping us to celebrate over 75 years of physiotherapy
in Canada.
Yours truly,

The purpose of this program is to develop and enhance
administrative and managerial skills of senior fire department
officers and managers, that will assist them in the effective
management and operation of a fire department.
This course provides knowledge to fire department managers and
senior officers in the development of organizational, managerial
and administrative skills. Course participants will develop skills
in leadership and the use of all available resources while working
in cooperation with other professionals. Skills in identifying
needs, followed by research, evaluation and implementation of
change as required by the locale being served will be developed.
Cost effectiveness and the development of budget information,
format, rationale and presentation will be highlighted. Throughout
the duration of the program, the need for risk management will be
emphasized.
The introduction to the course involves 16 hours of classroom
participation. This introductory workshop will be held on March 21
and 22, at the Civic Auditorium, Bobby Orr Lounge, 99 Thorton Rd.
South, Oshawa, commencing at 0800 hours and concluding at 1700
hours each day.
l
However senior fire department officials are only one important
part of the municipal management team, the Office of the Fire
Marshal believes that other officials such as the Head of Council,
Chair of the local Fire Committee, the Clerk - Administrator -
Treasurer should be invited to participate in the introduction to
this Program. Participating municipal administration officials
will be introduced to this important program as well as being urged
to join in the ensuing group discussions. You are therefore
requested to complete the attached pre-workshop registration form
and FAX or return it to me prior to March 14th. Regrettably, we
can only accommodate a maximum of three officials from each
municipality, in addition to fire department personnel.
While there are no registration or other fees for this course,
participants will be responsible for their own travel, meals or
other expenses.
Each fire department officer 'Z attending will receive one Fire
Department Management set of notes and one Manual for the
department. One set of associated text books will subsequently be
issued to each participating fire department who later elect to
attend the Core Component of the Program.
Continuation with the program after the initial workshop is
optional. Participants may elect an additional 32 hours of
classroom instruction and approximately 72 hours of work
accomplished away from the classroom ("Certificate of
Achievement"). An OFM "Diploma" will be awarded upon completion of
the Self-Directed Learning Component of the Program.
Please contact me should you have any questions
above.

Dear Ms. Barrie
D-14
The organization recently changed its name to DURHAM REGION
FARM SAFETY ASSOCIATION. This was to include Durham East in our
activities.
In the past we have held Safety Day Camps for children, set up
displays at fairs and held information meetings to promote rural
and farm safety. Currently we are involved in a program to have
farm safety videos placed in libraries. We are including three in
the Clarington area.
In order to carry out the program financial assistance is
required and the purpose of this letter is to request a grant from
the Municipality of Clarington to further this work. The amount
suggested is $50.00 made payable to Durham Region Farm Safety
Association.
The co-operation of the Municipality of Clarington in making
a grant to the Durham Region Farm Safety Association will be very
much appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration of this request..
Yours truly /~~

Re:Application for Exemption to By-Law 93-50
Over the past 'five years, the Kinsmen Club of Bowmanville as
sold fireworks in the Town of Bowmanville. Last year, the club
sought and received an exemption to the By-Law. Again the project
proved to be reasonably successful. The Club is planning to run
the project again•in 1995 and we seek an exemption to the
provisions of subsection 1(1)tb) permitting the sale of fireworks
from a trailer. The Kinsmen Club plans to sell fireworks from the
dates May 19, 1995 to May 22, 1995. Our proposed site is located
on King St.E., on the north side, immediately east of the Walter
Frank buildingtSite# •020-060-120-1). This property is owned by
Sabina Investments and a copy of a letter granting their
permission to use their site will be provided shortly. I do have
verbal approval from Mr. Simon Asaro of Sabina Investments.
The trailer will be located ?5 feet away from the road and
any buildings. We have the permission to use the parking lot of
Walter Frank for our customers.
In accordance with the by-laws, the following safety plan
has been devised, to be implemented in any emergency:
1)phone 9-1-1
2)evacuate the premises immediately
3)move to a safe area
Contacts in case of emergency:

1. OVERVIEW
1.1 Purpose of Report
1.1.1 The purpose of this Report is to respond to a letter from the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs regarding Deferral No. 6 to the
Durham Regional Official Plan (Attachment No.l).
1.2 Ministry of Municipal Affairs Letter
1.2.1 On December 12, 1995, the Planning Department received a copy
of a letter from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
to the Regional Commissioner of Planning regarding Deferral
No. 6. In approving the Durham Regional Official Plan in

REPORT NO.: PD-17-95 PAGE 2
November 1993, the Ministry deferred consideration of the
subject lands and the related urban area boundary. The lands
subject of the deferral are north of the existing Courtice
urban boundary, bounded by Farewell Creek on the west, Trulls
Road on the east, and Pebblestone Road on the north.
1.2.2 The Ministry, in their letter, indicated their review of
Deferral No. 6 had identified two primary concerns:
• The identification of the subject lands and much of the
surrounding area both within and outside the urban
boundary as "Environmentally Sensitive Areas", in
recognition of the area's importance for natural habitat
and the maintenance of ground and surface water quantity
and quality, especially in relation to the Coldwater
fisheries in Farewell and Black Creeks, and drainage into
the provincially significant Second Marsh;
• The inclusion of the subject lands in the Courtice Urban
Area by Regional Council, given that Regional Staff had
not identified either a need for the lands nor provided
any justification for their inclusion.
1.2.3 The Ministry's letter also noted Clarington Councils
resolution of July 18, 1994 which requested the Ministry to
support a 30 year urban boundary in the Clarington Official
Plan to facilitate the resolution of water quality problems on
Courtice Road. The Ministry indicated the following in
response:
"First, although completely supportive of the need to address
potential healt2i hazards arising from quality problems with
well water supplies along Courtice Road it has not been
demonstrated that such an action would assist in resolving the
situation. Further, neither the DROP or this Ministry~s
policies permit area municipalities to designate more than 20
years of lands for development. As a result, we do not
support the use of a 30 ,year urban area boundary within the
Clarington Official Plan."
1.2.4 The Ministry requested various agencies, including the
Municipality and the Region; to provide the following:
-~ 12 ,
.,,
. '~
REPORT NO.: PD-17-95 PAGE 3
• comments on the adequacy of the technical reports
submitted by the proponent for the lands subject of
Deferral No. 6;
• the identification of any approaches, policies and/or
measures needed to maintain and/or enhance the quality
and quantity of ground and surface water resources as
they relate to the environmental sensitivity of the
subject lands, Farewell and Black Creeks and the Second
Marsh.
1.2.5 The Ministry also noted that justification needs to be
provided for the inclusion of the subject lands, particularly
given the land budget analyses undertaken through the Official
Plan Review process for Clarington. The justification
analysis is to be undertaken in the context of a 20 year urban
boundary for• both Courtice and Clarington as a whole.
1.3 Deferral No. 6 to the Durham Regional Official Plan
1.3.1 The lands subject of Deferral No. 6 are located in Part Lots
31 and 32, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington, and
have an area of 54.3 ha (134 acres).
1.3.2 The Official Plan approved by Regional Council in June 1991
and July 1993 designated the subject lands as ' Living Area' as
part of the Courtice urban area, with 'Environmentally
Sensitive Areas' indicated. Regional Staff recommended that
the lands north of Courtice to the future Highway 407,
including the subject site, be designated as 'Special Study
Area'.
1.3.3 Clarington Staff recommended that no northerly expansion to
the Courtice Urban Area be permitted. At that time, Council
also opposed the designation of any Living Area in north
Courtice, but supported the designation of a Special Study
Area for the lands bounded by Townline Road, Pebblestone Road,
Courtice Road and Adelaide Avenue. This position was

1.4.1 Application OPA 93-002/C to amend the Official Plan of the
former Town of Newcastle and Application NPA 93-006/CN to
amend the Courtice North Neighbourhood Plan were submitted on
May 7, 1993 by WDM Consultants on behalf of William Tonno

Ontario Limited (Steve Devesceri Construction Ltd.). These
parties together own 36.8 ha (90.9 acres) in Part Lots 31 and
32, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington. The balance
of the lands subject of the Official Plan Amendment
Application (17.5 ha/43.2 acres) is owned by individual

the processing of the applications would be held in abeyance
pending Council's approval of a new Official Plan in
accordance with Council Resolution # C-63-92. This
resolution, approved by Council on January 27, 1992, stated
that applications for residential development in the urban
expansion areas added by Regional Council in the 1991 Official
Plan would not be processed for the period of the Official
Plan Review.
1.5 Meeting with-the Provincial Facilitator
1.5.1 Staff attended a meeting with the proponent and a number of
agencies at the Office of the Provincial Facilitator on
February 8, 1995. The purpose of the meeting was to identify
what concerns various. agencies have with respect to the
designation of the subject site as Living Area in the Regional
Official Plan. The Ministry of Natural Resources and the
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority suggested that a
sub-watershed study and plan should be prepared to more
properly assess the environmental effects of development. The
proponent indicated that environmental concerns could be
assessed once the site has been given a Living Area
designation. A second meeting has been scheduled for February
27, 1995.
2. AGENCY COMMENTS.

2.4 Community Services Department
2.4.1 Community Services Department noted that if these lands are to
be developed, parkland dedication is required on the basis of
either 5$ or 1 ha per 300 dwelling units, which ever is
greater. The parkland, wherever possible, should be abutting
the open space blocks. All open space and flood plain lands
are to be dedicated to the Municipality gratuitously. All
open space is to be transferred in an acceptable condition
(disturbed land to be restored, and undisturbed land free of
erosion, debris or dangerous or dead trees). A tree
preservation plan is to be prepared and submitted for
approval.
2.5 Fire Department
2.5.1 The Department indicated that the approval of the application,
in conjunction with other growth in the Courtice area, will
put a strain on the existing resources which the Department
has in that area.
2.6 Reqion of Durham
2.6.1 Regional Staff confirmed that Regional Council supported the
inclusion of the subject lands within the Courtice Urban Area.
They also noted that there is an indication of environmental
sensitivity for the subject lands on Schedule A5 of the
Regional Plan. Accordingly, if the subject lands are included
within the Urban Area, an environmental impact study in
accordance with Section 2.3.17 of the Regional Plan would be
a prerequisite for any development proposal.
2.6.2 Regional Staff noted that their urban land supply calculations
have consistently included the acreage for the subject lands,
given that they have been part of the Council-adopted Official
Plan since June 5, 1991.

2.6.3 Re-gional Staff indicated'that they were in..general agreement -
- - w-ith~ tl~e conclusions -of .the Conceptual ~Servicing_ Report as
tne.y relate•to issues of sanitary sewage and water
distribution. No comments were provided on the other
technical reports.
2.7 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authorit
2.7.1 Hydrogeologic Assessment
2.7.1.1 Authority Staff stated that dewatering in the shallow aquife
will probably exceed the 0.4m lowering of the groundwater
elevations predicted by the Report. They also questioned the
thoroughness of the groundwater assessment, noting unexplained
conflicts with information provided in other technical
assessments undertaken in the area.
2.7.2 Preliminary Environmental Overview ~
2.7.2.1 Authority Staff identified the numerous groundwater seepage
zones along the valley slope of Farewell Creek as being •
critical_to the maintenance of the Coldwater fish habitat
adjacent to and downstream of the plan area. They questioned-
how the volume and distribution of base of slope discharge to
the creek would be maintained or enhanced given the reduction
in baseflow, the interception of groundwater by foundation
drains and a general lowering of the groundwater elevation as
identified by the hydrogeological report. They indicated a
concern that the proposal will result in the destruction of
fish habitat, given the predicted loss of baseflow and the
lack of analysis of thermal impacts. -
2.7.2.2 Authority Staff noted that the report does not provide any
real evaluation of the impact of the new population on
Farewell Creek, and that environmental considerations have not
been properly evaluated in terms of the constraints that they
may place on development. They noted, for example, that the
abili*_y of the naturalized corridor along the intermittent
- tributary to improve connectivity for wildlife would be

2.7.2.3 It is Authority Staff's opinion that the tableland forest had
been removed in anticipation of objections to the development
~.
proposal based
on the site's
environmental sensitivity.
2.7.3 Conceptual Servicing Report
2.7.3.1 It was noted that the Courtice Storm Water Management Plan
(CSWMP), approved in 1980, makes no accommodation for run-of•f
from development areas beyond the 1976 Regional Official Plan
urban boundary for Courtice. A re-examination of the CSWMP
carried out by consultants for the Authority in 1989-1991
concluded that b
th flo
di
o
o
ng and erosion within the Farewell
Creek system have actually been aggravated by the CSWMP. The
.:
recommended off-line ponding sites have limited peak flows
from adjacent developing lands to pre-development levels.
However, the period of peak discharge from these ponds appears
to coincide with the larger peak discharge from upstream
areas, which has resulted in slightly increased downstream
peak flows and erosion. This emphasizes the need to plan such
t~$
controls on a watershed basis to ensure .their effectiveness.
2.7.3.2 CLOCA Staff stated that the development proposal would add
additional flows into a storm water management system which
has already been found to be ineffective and a cause of
increased flood levels in the downstream reach of Farewell
Creek. The Authority's Staff concluded that the storm water
management concept for the Farewell Creek Community does not
meet the Authority's objectives in storm water management
• since it .is neither comprehensive on a sub-watershed basis nor
does it assess its impacts on the watershed.
2.7.3.3 The Authority adopted a resolution in October 1994 directing
.staff to meet with Clarington staff to determine the feasibility
•. of undertaking a watershed plan for the Farewell Creek
watershed.

3. BTAFF COMMENTS
3.1 Staff have reviewed the technical documents submitted in
support of Application OPA 93-002/C in order- to provide
comments on their adequacy, as requested by the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs in their letter.
3.2 Development Concept
3.2.1 The Development Concept Report provides a conceptual .site
design for the proposed neighbourhood. If and when the
Minister renders his decision on the Deferral Area, staff will
review the concept design and detail all the land use i
components within the new neighbourhood and incorporate such
in the Clarington Official Plan. At this time it is premature
for the Municipality to provide comments on detailed site
design until the principle of development has been
established. .
3.3 Preliminary Environmental overview
3.3.1 The subject site was classified by the Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority, through its Environmental Sensitivity
Mapping Project, as 'moderate to high' and 'high'
environmental sensitivity, due in part to the high water table
conditions, groundwater recharge function, location in the
Farewell Creek watershed (coldwater fishery), and the presence
of significant vegetation/wildlife features and corridor
linkages. Most of the tableland forest was cleared prior to
the environmental overview being conducted in Fall 1992 and
Summer 1993.
~
3.3.2
A significant shortcoming of the Environmental Report is that _
it assessed the environmental sensitivity of the subject site
in its current degraded and disturbed state. This is
reflected in the Report classifying most of the site as having
limited or no sensitivity to development. The Farewell Creek
valley, which now exists as an isolated environmental remnant,
was identified as the only significant and sensitive
1210
l
REPORT NO.: PD-17-95 p
AGE 11
environmental feature associated with the site. The Report
does not adequately address how the loss of the forest cover
and the resulting reduction in groundwater recharge and
baseflow contribution to the creek, as well as the loss of
connectivity to other wildlife habitat, has impacted the
environmental value of the Farewell Creek valley. The Report
should have conducted its assessment on the basis of the
sites environmental condition prior to the clearance of the
tableland forest, and how these features and their
ecologically valuable functions could be restored.
3.3.3 The report does not meet the requirements of the Durham
Regional Official Plan which states that the Region, in
consultation with the Municipality shall undertake an
"independent" study and assess potential "cumulative impacts".
3.4 Hvdrogeological Assessment
3.4.1 We concur with the comments by the Conservation Authority that
the impact of the proposed development on the baseflow
contribution from the subject site to Farewell Creek was not
properly addressed in the Hydrogeological Assessment. In
particular, we question the statement in the Report that the
proposed development is not expected to have a discernable
impact on the volume of baseflow received by Farewell Creek
from the shallow aquifer on the subject lands.
3.4.2 We note that this statement is inconsistent with well-
understood impacts of urban development on groundwater
recharge and baseflow, due to the greater area of impermeable
surface and loss of vegetative cover. We also doubt that the
water management measures proposed, such as the foundation
drain system, would successfully mimic the natural pattern and
volume of baseflow contributed to the creek from the plan
area.

REPORT NO.: PD-17-95 PAGE 12
3.5 Conceptual Servicing Report
3.5.1 Staff agree with the assessment of the Conservation Authority
and the Public Works Department that a storm water management
plan for the subject area needs to be developed in the context
of a watershed plan for the whole of the Farewell Creek
watershed, rather than on a site specific basis as provided in
the Servicing Report. This is of particular importance given
the apparent deficiencies with the Courtice Storm Water
Management Plan and the failure of any of the technical
reports to properly address the impact of development on the
Coldwater fishery in Farewell Creek.
3.5.2 We note that the final alignment of Adelaide Avenue has not
yet been determined and will be subject to a Class
Environmental Assessment which has not yet been undertaken.
We also notethat the Public Works Department has indicated
that a number of external site improvements may be required to
serve this site. We question whether these improvements can
be justified given the limited population to be served. In
this regard, a Traffic Impact Study and a Financial Analysis
should be submitted to specifically identify the on-site and
external infrastructure improvements required to accommodate
the proposed development, and the financial implications for
the Municipality, including Development Charges.
3.6 The letter from Ministry of Municipal Affairs also requested
the identification of any approaches, policies and/or measures
needed to maintain and/or enhance the quality and quantity of
ground and surface water resources as they relate to the
environmental sensitivity of the Deferral No. 6 lands,
Farewell and Black Creeks and the Second Marsh. Staff are not
able to suggest specific technical measures related to ground
water and surface water maintenance or enhancement. However,
the following approaches may assist in accomplishing these
objectives:
• the preparation of a Watershed Study for the
Black/Farewell Creek watershed;
1212
t
REPORT NO.: PD-17-95 PAGE
13
• special design considerations to ensure maintenance of
baseflow to Farewell Creek;
• long term monitoring of cumulative impacts on Farewell
Creek and the Coldwater fishery.
4. CONCLIISION
4.1 The Ministry of Municipal Affairs does not concur with
Council ~ s resolution to utilize the 30 year urban boundary for
Courtice as a means to address water problems on Courtice
Road, noting there is no evidence that such action would
resolve the problem. If Council wishes to specifically
address the problem, it would be appropriate to request the
Regional Health Department to identify the scope of the
problem and potential solutions.
~' 4.2 The Region has indicated that the subject lands were included
in their 30 year land budget since it was prepared subsequent
to the adoption of the 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan
during the discussions on the "structure" versus "30 year"
approach to the Plan. This response would not appear to
address the issue of the 20 year urban boundary as requested
by the Ministry's letter.
4.3 Staff find that the studies do not adequately address the
principle of development for the Deferral Area 6 lands with
respect to the protection of Farewell Creek and the Second
Marsh, which is most appropriately addressed through a
watershed planning study.
4.4 It is premature to address the adequacy of the studies with
respect to details of developing this community prior to the
key issues related to the principle of development and
environmental protection.
REPORT NO.: pD-17-95 PAGE 14
4.5 The preparation of a comprehensive watershed study for the
Farewell/Black Creek watershed and the implementation of
long-term cumulative impact monitoring for the watershed are
possible approaches to address the environmental sensitivity
of this area. However, staff is not advocating the
expenditure of public funds to finance such a watershed study.

SUMMARY OF TECHNICAL REPORTS
DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
A population target of 2200 persons was indicated for the neighbourhood, with 529 detached
dwellings and 106 townhouse units. Adelaide Avenue is proposed to run along the existing
northern urban area boundary, with anorth-south collector road running through the
neighbourhood between Adelaide Avenue and Pebblestone Road. An elementary school block
and park were identified in the south central portion of the neighbourhood. Two local
commercial sites were proposed at the north and south ends of the collector road (0.39 ha and
1.04 ha respectively). Open Space blocks were identified for the Farewell Creek valley and an
intermittent tributary in the south end.
_ CONCEPTUAL SERVICING REPORT
Sanitary sewer and water services are proposed to be extended northward from existing urban
development in Neighboufiood 3A.
Minor storm water flows from the proposed community would be conveyed via a storm sewer
under Adelaide Avenue to a water quality pond on the north side of Adelaide Avenue directly
adjacent to Farewell Creek. The quality pond would discharge to a detention pond on the
south side of Adelaide Avenue which is intended to control post-development flows to Farewell
Creek to pre-development levels.
The possible incorporation of a foundation collection system was suggested. This would collect
cool clean groundwater and convey it through the minor drainage system to discharge with
surface storm water into Farewell Creek.
k The possible use of infiltration techniques to enhance baseflow to Farewell Creek was also
suggested. It was noted however, that the fine-grained sub-surface soils and shallow
groundwater table would minimize their effectiveness.
.Major overland storm water flows from the proposed community would be conveyed within
roadway structures, and would flow to the water quantity pond before discharge to Farewell
117
. r
Page 2..
.: Creek using a soft (non-engineered) outfall within the channel of an existing tributary. It was ,
indicated that the use of a common outfall for all storm water would avoid the need for
additional discharges to the Farewell Creek valley.
An open space block along the existing intermittent watercourse through the site would
accommodate overland flow from a 75 ha drainage area east of Trolls Road. An engineered
channel would convey these flows directly to Farewell Creek.
DROGEOLOGIC ASSESSMENT
The Report identified three main aquifers below the study area The shallow overburden aquifer
within the granular mantle -represents the principal aquifer for domestic water supply to area
wells and provides baseflow to Farewell Creek. Stable groundwater levels ranged from 0.15
m to 1'.2 m below grade. The aquifer systems within the deeper glacial till and bedrock provide
baseflow directly to Lake Ontario and are not locally significant.
..
Recharge into the shallow aquifer occurs mainly from direct incident precipitation on the site.
The Report indicated that the development of the proposed community is not expected to have ,
a discernable impact on the volume of baseflow received by Farewell Creek from the shallow
aquifer. Also, the loss in baseflow attributable to the proposed development was estimated to ,
result in less than a 3% flow reduction in Farewell Creek related to summer flows.

Of the 38 private wells within and adjacent to the proposed community, 12 are shallow bored

These wells would be considered sensitive to possible future impact.
PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW
The biophysical features of the plan area were evaluated and assigned a priority class from 1
(high) to 5 (low). Recommendations for the management of biophysical features were
developed based on the assigned priority class.
The Farewell Creek valley was identified as the most significant feature in the plan area. It is
well-defined and heavily forested with steep slopes. Numerous groundwater seepage zones
occur along the valley slope which contribute groundwater discharge to the creek. Due to
lli$ '
Page 3..
removal of the tableland forest cover, it remains as the only significant wildlife habitat in the
area.
Farewell Creek also provides important habitat for a variety of resident and spawning coldwater
fish species. The preservation of the coldwater fish habitat adjacent to and downstream of the
plan area is dependent upon the maintenance and enhancement of basefiow, the coldwater
temperature regime, and stream morphology and character, as well as protection from
sediment, nutrient and contaminant loading.
The Farewell Creek valley was assigned a priority class of 1. The valley and its features are to
be protected with no encroachment by development permitted. It is proposed to dedicate the
valley and an adjoining top-of-bank buffer to the appropriate public authority.
Due to the clearing of the forests on_ the tableland adjacent to Farewell Creek, a previous
wildlife habitat linkage between Farewell Creek valley and the Trulls Road-Courtice Road Woods
to the east was eliminated. Only a few isolated and disturbed woodland remnants remain,
which offer limited potential for wildlife habitat. Residential development would further isolate
these remnant stands and limit their ecological function.
These remnant woodlands were assigned a priority class of 3 which indicates that these areas
are less sensitive to development, with a greater degree of intrusion and/or alteration permitted.
These woodlands are generally not well-suited for passive recreational use or tree preservation.
The Report suggested that a secondary habitat linkage could be created along the southern
drainage swale.
Most of the plan area was identified as possessing limited or no constraints to development,
tt and was assigned a priority class of 4 or 5. These areas included disturbed fields and cleared
i woodlands.

Re: Deferral No. 6 to the Official Plan for the Region
of Durham .(1991) and the north Courtice area
Ministry File No.: 18-OP-0012
In the approval of the Durham Region Official Plan
(DROP) the lands bounded by Farewell Creek, Pebblestone
Road, Trulls Road and the proposed Adelaide Street
extension were deferred (Deferral No. 6). In addition,
the lands immediately adjacent to the east were
referred to the~Ontario Municipal Board (Referral
No. 1) . •
The lands subject of Deferral No. 6 (and Referral No.
1) were supported by Regional Council for inclusion in
the Courtice Urban Area during the initial adoption of
the Plan. However, in reviewing the background
materials submitted with the Plan it was noted that
neither Region of Durham or Town of 3dewcastle planning
staff supported the inclusion of these lands within the
Courtice Urban Area.
In assessing this situation in the context of this
background information, the comments from various
agencies and the objectives of the Regional Official
Plan, this Ministry identified two primary concerns.
First, it was noted that all of the subject lands and
much of the surrounding area were identified as
"Environmentally Sensitive Areas" within the DROP.
These lands were described as having significant forest
cover which provided natural habitat and contribute to
the maintenance of ground and surface water quantity
and quality, specifically in relation to the baseflow,
of the Farewell and Black Creeks which are both
Coldwater fisheries draining into the environmentally
sensitive and provincially significant Second Marsh.

It was further noted

that the north Courtice area

Second, as part of the review of the Plan, there were
extensive discussions between the Region and the
Ministries of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture and
Food regarding the Region's ability to justify all of
the urban areas proposed in the Plan. Given that staff
did not identify a need nor provide any justification
for inclusion of the subject lands, the Ministry
questioned Council's rationale to include them.
Since approval of the Plan, we have convened a meeting
between the Region, Town, CLOCA and the proponents to
assess the facts surrounding this situation. Our
conclusions from that meeting were that there was
disagreement as to the conclusions of the proponents'
technical studies; that significant portions of the
forested area covering these lands had been removed;
and, that despite such deforestation CLOCA still
:a considered the lands to be environmentally sensitive.
Since adoption of the Plan, the Ministry has also been
advised of ongoing concerns regarding wellwater quality
along Courtice Road to the east. It has been suggested
that approval of the subject lands as "Urban Area"
would assist in bringing piped water to the residents
and institutional uses along Courtice Road.
More recently, on July 18, 1994 Clarington Council
passed a resolution requesting that the Ministry
support a 30 year urban area boundary in the Clarington
Official Plan in order to facilitate resolution of the
water problem along Courtice Road even though the
Courtice Road area would not be included within the
urban area boundary.
Having considered these matters, I offer the following
comments. First, although completely supportive of the
need to address potential health hazards arising from
quality problems with wellwater supplies along Courtice
Road it has not been demonstrated that such an action
would assist in resolving the situation. Further,
neither the DROP or this Ministry's policies permit
area municipalities to designate more than 20 years of
t
t
d
o no
suppor
lands for development. As a result, we
the use of a 30 year urban area boundary within the
Clarington Official Plan.

. .l -3-
Second, by copy of this letter we request confirmation
from the Region, the Municipality, CLOCA, MNR and MOEE
as to the adequacy of the proponents' technical
reports. In addition, we request the identification of
any approaches, policies and/or measures needed to
maint i~d/or enhance. the quality and quantity of the
ground and surface water resources as they relate to
the environmental, sensitivity of these lands, Farewell
and Black Creeks and the Second Marsh.
Third, justification for inclusion of the subject lands
is required, particularly given recent land budget
analyses being undertaken by Clarington in support of
its new official plan. The justification for inclusion
of these lands as urban area should be undertaken in
the context of both the Courtice urban area and
Clarington as a whole in the context of a 20 year urban
area boundary for the municipality's urban areas.
In closing, we would be pleased to meet to discuss
these matters in detail and will be in contact to
ensure you are in possession of the proponents'
technical studies. If you have any questions, please
call Victor Doyle at (416) 585-6064.

SUI~IIKARY OF TECHNICAL REPORTS
DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
A population target of 2200 persons was indicated for the neighbourhood, ,
with 529 detached dwellings and 106 townhouse units. Adelaide Avenue is
proposed to run along the existing northern urban area boundary, with a
north-south collector road running through the neighbourhood between '
Adelaide Avenue and Pebblestone Road. An elementary school block and
park were identified in the south central portion of the neighbourhood.
Two local commercial sites were proposed at the north and south ends of
the collector road (0.39 ha and 1.04 ha respectively). Open Space
blocks were identified for the Farewell Creek valley and an intermittent
tributary in the south end.
CONCBPTOAL SERVICING REPORT
Sanitary sewer and water services are proposed to be extended northward
from existing urban development in Neighbourhood 3A.
Minor storm water flows from the proposed community would be conveyed
via a storm sewer under Adelaide Avenue to a water quality pond on the
north side of Adelaide Avenue directly adjacent to Farewell Creek. The
quality pond would discharge to a detention pond on the south side of
Adelaide Avenue which is intended to control post-development flows to
Farewell Creek to pre-development levels.
The possible incorporation of a foundation collection system was
suggested. This would collect cool clean groundwater and convey it
through the minor drainage system to discharge with surface storm water
into Farewell Creek.
The possible use of infiltration techniques to enhance baseflow to
Farewell Creek was also suggested. It was noted however, that the fine-
grained sub-surface soils and shallow groundwater table would minimize
their effectiveness.
1 %';~~~
•Major overland storm water flows from the proposed community would be
• conveyed within roadway structures, and would flow to the water quantity
• pond before discharge to Farewell Creek using a soft (non-engineered)
outfall within the channel of an existing tributary. It was indicated
that the use of a common outfall for all storm water would avoid the
need for additional discharges to the Farewell Creek valley.
An open space block along the existing intermittent watercourse through
the site would accommodate overland flow from a 75 ha drainage area east
of Trulls Road. An engineered channel would convey these flows directly
to Farewell Creek.
HYDROGEOLOGIC ASSESSMENT
The Report identified three main aquifers below the study area. The
shallow overburden aquifer within the granular mantle represents the
principal aquifer for domestic water supply to area wells and provides
baseflow to Farewell Creek. Stable groundwater levels ranged from 0.15
m to 1.2 m below grade. The aquifer systems within the deeper glacial
till and bedrock provide baseflow directly to Lake Ontario and are not
locally significant.
Recharge into the shallow aquifer occurs mainly from direct incident
x
precipitation on the site. The Report indicated that the development
of the proposed community is not expected to have a discernable impact
on the volume of baseflow received by Farewell Creek from the shallow
aquifer. Also, the loss in baseflow attributable to the proposed
development was estimated to result in less than a 3$ flow reduction in
Farewell Creek related to summer flows.
Of the 38 private wells within and adjacent to the proposed community,
12 are shallow bored or dug wells less than 4.5 m deep and would be
would be within 75 m of buried services. These wells would be
considered sensitive to possible future impact.

COIIRTICE NORTH NEIGSBOIIRHOOD 3D
gARTtWRT.T. CREEg COMIrIIJNITY
(TONNO ET AL.)
We have reviewed the preliminary technical reports submitted by
the proponent and feel that, though preliminary in nature, the
following concerns must be addressed to the satisfaction of the
Director of Public Works prior to the submission of a Draft Plan
for approval. •
1. That a watershed study addressing stormwater management and
water. quality issues for the ENTIRE watershed be submitted
to this department, the Ministry of Natural Resources and
the Central~Lake Ontario Conservation Authority for review
and approval. This report should address the groundwater
baseflow to Farewell Creek, minor and major flood routing,
and water quality as it relates to fish and riparian
habitat.
2. That proposed future development patterns within this
watershed be confirmed in order to tie in with the
development plans for this proposal.
The addition of this development to North Courtice will increase
the amount of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the proximity
of the proposed development. We anticipate that Pebblestone
Road, Trull's Road and Adelaide Avenue may require upgrades to
existing roads, sidewalks and street illumination, in order to
properly accommodate this development and the increased traffic
it will bring about. Some of the anticipated improvements are
not included in the Municipality's Development Charge Study.
3. This development cannot proceed until any and all
improvement works to roads, sidewalks and street

illumination, which are necessary to properly facilitate
this development, have been included in the Municipality's
Development Charge Study, and until such time as the
Municipality has budgeted and allocated funds for all of the
necessary upgrades and improvements.
4. The developer will be responsible to submit a Traffic Impact
Study which assesses the impact of the proposed development
on vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The study must
identify any and all improvements .external to the
development, which are necessary to properly accommodate
this development within the existing infrastructure of
Courtice.
5. The location and alignment of future Adelaide Avenue has
not yet been approved. This development cannot proceed
until the final alignment is approved by the Municipality
and the Region. The final approval process of the
Adelaide Avenue construction will involve an Environmental
Assessment.
r 6. That the proposed draft plans be adjusted to reflect the
~, recommendations of the Preliminary Environmental Overview.
The proposed revision shall include the preservation of both
Farwewell Creek tributary drainage channels providing a
natural link to the north/east and east between Farewell
Greek/Trull's Courtice Woods/Bowmanville Creek. The
ultimate design of these drainage channels should include
the replacement of riparian habitat.
7. That the proposed draft plans should be reviewed and
adjusted to provide the minimum buffer zone between the
Farewell Creek top of bank and the development zone per
Ministry of Natural Resources requirements.
Should this amendment be approved, additional comments regarding
the final design requirements will be addressed upon receipt of a
preliminary Draft Plan addressing the above comments.
If you have any questions regarding the above-mentioned, please
contact the undersigned or Nick Colucci.
