PRESENTATIONS
There were no Presentations scheduled for this meeting.
DELEGATIONS
Kurt Gelder addressed Council concerning Item # 5 of Report # 1 - Application to Amend the
Official Plan to Reflect the Location of Provincially Significant Wetlands. Mr. Gelder stated
he and his wife own a fish farm on Langstaff Road and lot 7594 is part of the farm and is the
only asset they have. He stated it was their intention to either sell the fish farm and build
their retirement home on the lot or sell the lot to have money to retire. Mr. Gelder indicated
that the lot is already 75% EP and that adding to the existing EP is not necessary as the land
where they would build is not wet, that Soper Creek is 120 feet west of their property line, not
on his property as the map indicates, and all that is on the lot is a small tributary. Mr. Gelder
was requesting an exemption to the EP Zone.
Ted Meszaros, Clarington Citizens for Clean Water and Soil, addressed Council
concerning Correspondence Item D — 9 - Commercial Fill Dumping on Morgans Road,
to raise concerns and awareness of the potential consequences of commercial fill
dumping at Morgan's Road and Highway 2, especially to nearby wells and aquifers on
the site and beyond. Mr. Meszaros stressed the importance of maintaining the quality
of groundwater as the rural area is dependent on wells for drinking water, household
and agricultural uses and noted area residents have spent considerable amounts of
money to have wells drilled and maintained, with no assistance from any level of
government. Mr. Meszaros stated their main concern is groundwater contamination,
which unlike surface water that can be contained and cleaned up, will show up years
from now after the fill has been dumped as contaminants are slowly released through
the underlying aquifer. He noted that should serious groundwater contamination
occur, destruction of drinking water supplies can continue for years. He stated the
majority of wells in the area are fairly shallow and there is concern that shallow wells
are easier to contaminate. He noted the onus is on the owner of the well to protect it
from surface contamination but that the owner has no control over any contaminates
that have leached through groundwater, rendering the well basically useless with no
recourse. Mr. Meszaros stated new regulations rather than guidelines should be
developed by the Ministry of the Environment, the Municipality and the Conservation
Authority.
Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - April 11, 2011
He noted that there are problems with abandoned sites as they become the
responsibility of the Municipality after ten years. He feels that the Municipality should
set aside funds for long -term action — legal or clean -up costs. He also feels that funds
should be put up front from commercial fillers in case clean -up of sites is required.
Mr. Meszaros stated the onus is on the Ministry of the Environment to protect the
quality of soil and that these issues should be dealt with at the source. Mr. Meszaros
summarized by stating that soil, groundwater and sediment are natural resources that
are essential for the current and future health of ecosystems and the wellbeing of the
residents of Clarington and once contaminated they can be very difficult and
expensive to remediate.
Beth Meszaros, Clarington Citizens for Clean Water and Soil, addressed Council
concerning Correspondence Item D — 9 - Commercial Fill Dumping on Morgans Road,
to request Council to be vigilant in protecting the area's rich agricultural lands,
wetlands and waterways and to set into place strong laws and regulations to protect
these natural resources. She requested that Clarington's representatives on the
Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) keep staff accountable for their
actions and keep them informed. She also requested specific information regarding
Permit #1089 be investigated and that the GRCA set strong timelines for completing
work done on permits. Ms. Meszaros suggested that Council insist that government
ministries responsible for the environment and natural resources work together as one
body and that Council work with these ministries to develop strong legal language to
have clearer definitions and to develop a public consultation process for a fill site. She
reviewed an itemized list of requests to various municipal staff to respond to issues of
safety, associated costs of road rehabilitation, maintaining the Morgan's Road area as
greenbelt, sample testing and results, health concerns, lifestyle changes and
disruption to daily life. Ms. Meszaros requested that staff demand that the Ministry of
the Environment review the permit process and to be advised by April 15, 2011 of
what steps have been undertaken.
Libby Racansky addressed Council concerning Item # 5 of Report # 1 - Application to Amend
the Official Plan to Reflect the Location of Provincially Significant Wetlands. Through use of
a PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Racansky commented on the Official Plan Amendment to
reflect the location of Provincially Significant Wetlands. Ms. Racansky is requesting that
Council leave the lands that are located along tributaries and /or are still forested to be
included as EP Zone — Green space. Ms. Racansky concentrated her presentation on the
Hancock Neighbourhood. She referenced the approved development that deleted centres of
tributaries flowing from surrounding lands not rezoned or studied and indicated that it would
be premature to permanently designate these lands for development as she feels it would be
too late to redesignate them to environmentally sensitive. She feels it is important to realize
that no setback from the wetlands was allowed from this subdivision located in the midst of
the neighbourhood and that there should be a setback at least from other sides to allow
wetlands to function. Ms. Racansky stated it would be unwise, unsafe and costly to delete
some tributaries prior to proper studies and planning and that she would be willing to discuss
the issue with staff. Ms. Racansky stated treed lots could help improve air quality and
removing trees soil excavation will release pollutants into the air.
Council Meeting Minutes - 5 - April 11, 2011
She feels if lands are being removed from the Green space, then other lands that would
improve the wetlands, stream and recharge functions should be added. Ms. Racansky feels
that with 70% of Ontario wetland lost, it is time to take action and to protect wetlands with
substantial buffers for the benefit of both wildlife and humans.
The representative of 711053 Ontario Inc. advised prior to the meeting that they would
not be addressing Council.
Mayor Foster stated a pecuniary interest with respect to the delegation of
Allan Lambert as he is an associate member of the Courtice Lions Club and left the
Council Chambers during discussion and voting on this matter.
Councillor Woo chaired this portion of the meeting.
Allan Lambert addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D — 11 - Request
to Waive Vendor's Permit Fee to Sell Fireworks in Support of Courtice Lions Club.
Mr. Lambert indicated that the Club has permission to sell fireworks at the corner of
Taunton Road and Townline Road and that all the necessary safety equipment is in
place. He noted the funds raised help assist the Club and the organizations they
support such as guide and hearing dogs, sports teams and Camp Dorset and that the
waiver of the fee would be of help to them.
Mayor Foster returned to the meeting and resumed the chair.
Wendy Bracken addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item I — 1 — Minutes
of the St. Marys Cement Community Relations Committee, regarding emissions.
Ms. Bracken stated that since moving to the area 20 years ago she has been
concerned with the brown haze from St. Marys Cement. She indicated that the
proposed incinerator has brought to light the degree of pollution coming from
St. Marys. Ms. Bracken referenced information from Environment Canada's National
Pollutant Release Inventory which lists St. Marys Cement as the third highest nitrogen
oxide emitter in all of Ontario. Ms. Bracken stated that nitrogen oxides are respiratory
irritants and lead to premature mortality. She expressed concern with the 3,372
tonnes on -site releases and noted that St. Marys is the 13th highest emitter of sulfur
dioxide. Ms. Bracken expressed concern with a statement in the minutes that notes
St. Marys production is up and that they are expecting they will exceed the S02 and
NOX allowance, but will use their credits. She stated that Council needs to act on this
to determine what action to take and suggested that a letter of concern be sent to
St. Marys and that staff be directed to monitor emissions and exceedances.
Ms. Bracken stated there are many schools and subdivisions close to this plant and
that school children and residents breathe this pollution 24 hours per day, seven days
per week. She urged Council to do its due diligence for clean air and to take action.

Council Meeting Minutes _10- April 11, 2011
D - 7 Debbie Shields, City Clerk, City of Pickering, writing to the Central
East Local Health Integration Network advising that on March 21,
2011, the City of Pickering adopted the following resolution
pertaining to Ajax Pickering Hospital:
"WHEREAS in the spring and summer of 2008, during the public
discussions regarding elimination of mental health beds at the Ajax -
Pickering Hospital, members of Friends of the Ajax- Pickering
Hospital wrote to the Minister of Health asking that the Rouge Valley
Health System be dissolved and that the Ajax- Pickering Hospital be
amalgamated with the Lakeridge Health Network; and
WHEREAS the Ajax- Pickering Hospital is undergoing a major
expansion of emergency care facilities. There was also to have
been an expansion of mental health in- patient services but RVHS
decided last year to relocate all of those services to Centenary.
Despite public outcry in opposition to this change, both the LHIN and
the Courts have ruled that changes such as this one, within a
healthcare corporation, are not subject to external review; and
WHEREAS the projections indicate that the population of Durham
Region will grow at more than twice the rate of any other community
or county within the CELHIN. The total population of Durham will
quickly and significantly exceed that of Scarborough; and
WHEREAS as the Region's population grows it will be crucial to
have a coordinated, Region -wide view to implementing and
managing healthcare resources and none of these are more
important than the critical care hospitals serving the Region. A
single corporation focused on Durham Region is the simplest and
most affordable way to realize this goal; and
WHEREAS a Durham Region focus will significantly improve
fundraising from all three sources within Durham Region: local and
regional focus will appeal to the local nature of communities. As the
communities of Durham Region grow from Pickering to Newcastle
there is a legitimate expectation that a broad range of medical
services will be available here.
NOW THEREFORE the Council for the City of Pickering supports a
single hospital corporation for all communities within Durham
Region; and,
THAT the Central East Local Health Integration Network be
requested to explore how this goal might be best achieved to serve
the residents of Durham Region; and,
Council Meeting Minutes - 11 - April 11, 2011
THAT all municipalities in Durham Region and the CELIHN be so
advised."
Resolution #C- 190 -11

THAT the resolution from the City of Pickering, with respect to Ajax Pickering
Hospital, be received for information.

D - 8 Kathy Kielt, Acting Deputy Clerk and Supervisor of Council and
Committee Services, Regional Municipality of Halton, advising
Council that on March 30, 2011, the Regional Municipality of Halton
adopted the following resolution pertaining to.Harmonized Sales Tax
(HST) revenue and a new funding mechanism for transportation
infrastructure:
"WHEREAS the introduction of the Harmonized Sales Tax (H.S.T.)
on July 1, 2010, and its application to gasoline and diesel sales will
result in new revenue for the Government of Ontario; and
WHEREAS based on 2010 average price levels of gasoline and
diesel, and 2009 average consumption levels in Ontario, the
Government of Ontario's projected new revenue will be
approximately $1.53 billion annually; and
WHEREAS the Provincial - Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery
Review identified a transportation infrastructure investment gap
between the Government of Ontario and Ontario's municipalities of
approximately $3.8 billion; and
WHEREAS a lack of sufficient funding for essential transportation
infrastructure construction, maintenance and rehabilitation has
created a situation where many of Ontario's municipalities do not
have the financial capacity to construct new transportation
infrastructure and conduct the maintenance and rehabilitation
needed to sustain existing transportation infrastructure; and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the Regional
Municipality of Halton requests that the Government of Ontario
consider directing a portion of the revenue derived from HST
charged on gasoline and diesel sales to a new predictable funding
mechanism that will allow Ontario's municipalities to make the critical
investments needed to be effective stewards of transportation
infrastructure; and
Council Meeting Minutes -12- April 11, 2011

D - 7 Ron Armstrong, Armstrong Harrison Associates Planning & Land
Development Services, writing on behalf of Abe's Auto Re- Cycling,
indicating that they have reviewed Official Plan Amendment 77 and
find that it does not make accommodation for their client's existing
use, nor does it permit the business to find a more suitable industrial
property where the use could be continued within Clarington, to
serve the existing marketing opportunity; suggesting that recycling of
large and complex manufactured goods such as automobiles can
fairly be seen as more beneficial to society than many other types of
recycling such as paper and other fibres but the policies in the
existing OP, combined with the additions of OPA 77 seem to be
moving the municipality backward instead of forward in this regard;
advising that they do not wish to appeal OPA 77 and create conflict
with the Municipality; however, the contents of proposed OPA 77
leave little choice in order to preserve the business; and, requesting
that staff be directed to re -open discussions with Abe's Auto Re-
Cycling with a view to resolving issues that under currently proposed
OPA 77 will prevent relocation of the business and hopefully avoid
an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board.

adopted the following resolution pertaining to elimination of Municipal
Health Care Professionals Recruitment Incentives:
"WHEREAS the number of health care professionals including
physicians are declining in relation to the population of the Province

are feeling pressure to provide incentives to attract and obtain health
care professionals to meet their residents' health care needs; and,

and amounts of incentives being offered by municipalities across the
Province; and,
WHEREAS the affordability by municipalities to offer incentives is
inequitable potentially jeopardizing the health care of residents
geographically; and,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council for the Town of
Ingersoll sees it fit to eliminate incentives given by municipalities as
part of health care recruitment as it is seen as a Provincial
responsibility;
AND FURTHER THAT municipalities request the Province to
develop and implement a plan to attract health care professionals
including physicians in a fair and equitable manner without cost to
municipalities;

respectfully requests that all municipalities in the Province of Ontario

Guest: Mayor Foster
Mayor Foster thanked the committee for the invitation to attend their meeting. The
Mayor provided a presentation on what the past ten years have brought to Clarington
and what we anticipate the next 10 years will have in store for the Municipality. (A copy
of the Mayor's power point presentation is attached).
Question /Answer Session:
Q Inquiry about a set back from the bluffs along the waterfront (East Beach to Bennett)
for public use.
A -This has been provided for in the subdivision plan.
Q- Inquiry about New Build at OPG and whether adequate provision has been made for
road infrastructure.
A -One of the reasons that the expansion of GO transit and train extension to
Bowmanville is really important. Provisions have been made in Host Municipal
Agreement with OPG for the provision of upgrading of local roads. There is an
agreement with MTO about improvements for the Holt Road interchange that will
occur once New Build gets green light to proceed.
Q- Communicate with Province about importance of 407 to 35/115 to get products to
market, it could just be a 2 lane road rather than 4 lanes, the north /south connection
can be a future addition.
A- 16,000 vehicles a day that cut through Clarington, expansion from Simcoe to
Harmony as recently announced is no better for Clarington, we continue to push and
will see what happens in election this fall.
Q- Whitebelt lands, it should be reserved for agricultural production, how do we convince
Council to save farmland?
A- usually hear the opposite, that we should be allowing urban boundaries to expand;
often times from farmers that are looking to retire and sell off land.
Q- Council is missing the point, there are farmer to farmer sales in Greenbelt and
Whitebelt. The whitebelt is very viable as farmland to make profits and also to sell
as farmland.
A- thank you for the comment it gives me and Council a different perspective from the
pressure that we usually face by developers asking for additional lands within the
urban areas.
Guest: Anne Taylor -Scott OPA #80
Anne provided the same presentation that she did for the April 4, 2011 Public Meeting
at the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting (attached). We have
heard a number of concerns from members and have put together a fact sheet with the
assistance of MNR and the Conservation Authorities to provide some understanding on
what, if anything has changed. The Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSW's) are
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington April 14, 2011
designated by the Province (MNR) and automatically updated on Schedule C of the
Official Plan (Natural Heritage Features). The amendment is to add those areas to
Schedule A the land use schedule to bring the O.P. into conformity with the Provincial
Policy Statement (PPS).
Whether you could build or not would depend on the underlying zoning, the Official Plan
amendment does not impact the underlying zoning at this time. The zoning will change
at some point in the future. Any type of development or site alteration has to be done in
consultation with the conservation authority —that is not changing.
Questions /Answers:
Q -Does MNR have a set of criteria that they are following?
A -Yes, there is a wetland evaluation scoring scheme. It is the Ontario Wetland
Evalution system and uses biological, social, hydrological, special features (4
components). It is carried out by MNR using a variety of tools, aerial photography,
ground - truthing, verification of wildlife, flora sightings; historical documentation, etc.
Based on the scoring a wetland may be local or provincially significant.
Q -Would someone that could have previously been able to build on a lot still be allowed
to build on that lot.
A- it would depend on the underlying zoning, if they have right to build in the zoning
then they should still be allowed to do so, but the siting, and mitigation measures will
have to be figured out with the conservation authority.
Q -Are there specific guidelines for what you can do today on those lands.
A -yes, those areas are currently regulated by zoning and the Official Plan.
Q -If it is an existing farm will they be able to add a building?
A -if they have the right to build in zoning then they will be allowed, but siting and
mitigation will be in consultation with conservation authority.
Q- Were PSW's figured out in consultation with OMAFRA?
A- MNR determines the PSW's, the interrelationship between the Ministries is not
something we are privy to. We have consulted with OMAFRA and OFA, they have
had the opportunity to review the information sheet we distributed tonight.
Q- Sometimes the features have been created by farmers, e.g. grass swales and they
are now showing up on aerial photos and being identified as natural features when
in fact they were created.
A -our mapping comes from the CA's; if a feature has been identified incorrectly, the CA
should be informed through written comments.
Q -What happens to areas that are wet that could be made farmable by tile draining
areas? With modern technology we can change deserts into food factories, is there
the ability to change identified wetland areas into farmland?
A- if it is currently being farmed it can continue to be farmed. Tile draining of lands that
are within regulated areas by the CA's would require permits.
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington April 14, 2011
Q- Areas that have been identified, do they get a tax break.
A -there is a program for a conservation land tax incentive, property owners in Maple
Grove and Harmony wetlands will be receiving an information mailing from MNR
about the program and can apply to MPAC.
Q- Is there additional set -backs for pesticides from regulated areas.
A- Set -back would be what is called for on the manufacturer's label and in accordance
with MOE best management practices.
Q- Setbacks by pesticide manufacturer are determined by PMRA (Pest Management
Regulatory Agency), they could be increased by CA?
A -not sure; CA has expertise or authority to determine setback for pesticide.
Q- What can the owner of property do to get rid of designation?
A- matter to be reviewed by MNR and CA's.
Q- What is the timeframe before this goes back to Council?
A -we are open to comments from public and committee, will be working on taking back
to Council in future for decision. If you want to be listed as interested party, contact
Anne and she will add you to the listing, that way you will be notified of when it will
go back to Council.
Delegation: Karen Trembley, on OPA #80 (see attachment). No questions of
delegation. Gary thanked Karen for her delegation and indicated that Committee would
address it later in the meeting.
Council Referrals —
Building Permits — Council at recent meeting was dealing with fees for building permit.
Henk . Mulders appeared on behalf of agricultural community and particularly
greenhouse operators. Council capped building permits for farm buildings at $5,000.
The price to obtain permit is $2.64 /sq.metre up to $5,000 that would be a building of
approximately 1900 sq. metres or 20,000 sq. feet. The only barn that would have
exceeded that dollar value was Thornlea. Bloomfield Farm and Watson Farms
buildings are commercial not farm buildings. Algoma was an industrial building. Silos
are not farm buildings and have a different definition /rate. Definition of farm buildings in
relation to building permits is attached.
Fence Viewers /By -law - Faye distributed the recently passed Fence By -law. There is
now a definition of agricultural fence (does not include barbed wire as part of the
standard) and residential fence to address concerns identified by Committee. The
standard is the baseline that the 50% cost share will be determined on, you can exceed
the standard but that would be at your cost unless you obtain the agreement of your
neighbor. If members have questions please let Faye know what they are and she will
have Len Creamer respond to them.

1.0 The intent of this report is to update Council on the overall status of the Reserve
Funds and historical usage patterns. The information included is based on annual
approved budget data. Development charges are excluded from this analysis as
they are restricted for specific purposes and are categorized separately for
financial reporting purposes.
1.1 As Council is aware, through the budget process, funds are drawn from the
Reserve Funds for capital purposes, funds are drawn from the Reserve Funds for
current purposes, and funds are contributed annually into the Reserve Funds to
support current and future requirements.
1.2 The table below reflects the budgeted transfers indentified above for the past five
years.

Capital draws tend to fluctuate because the municipality accumulates funds from a
long term planning perspective, into the reserve funds for specific large projects
and then when there are sufficient funds, the project proceeds. Those years with
higher draws coincide with the budget approval of a significant project. 2010
includes $4.5 million for the Newcastle Fire Hall, as an example. This strategy
assists in preventing significant tax rate fluctuations in years that significant capital
projects are planned.
1.4 With respect to the current draw from reserve funds, this reflects the funds that are
transferred to the operating budget.

These draws tend to be quite stable. The balance for 2011 has increased
because it was approved to transfer $2,378,000 to pay the balloon payment on the
MAC /Main library building in order to save on interest costs that would have been
incurred had we renewed it for the further 5 years. If this had not been done, the
transfer would have been only $104,344 more than last year.
CONCLUSIONS:
2.0 If you combine the capital and current draws, and remove the balloon payment, we
would have been lower than last year and more in line with 2009. The chart below
reflects the relative stability in the reserve funds over the past 10 years. While we
will need to work on improvements from a long term asset replacement strategy
perspective, we have kept things fairly stable over the last number of years.
2.1 From a comparison standpoint, Clarington ranks 6th highest out of the 83
participating municipalities in the BMA Study with respect to discretionary reserves
as a % of taxation and 3rd highest out of 83 with respect to reserves as a % of own
source revenue. While Clarington has the same concerns as all municipalities in
needing to develop future plans and funding strategies to address the
infrastructure deficit, Clarington has a strong history in utilizing reserve funds in a
very strategic fashion to fund capital projects and minimize tax rate fluctuations.

1.2 Location: Part Lot 27, Concession 3, Former township of Darlington
(See Site Location Map - Attachment 1)
2.0 BACKGROUND
PAGE 2
2.1 On February 28, 2011 General Purpose and Administration Committee considered
Report PSD- 021 -11 recommending approval of an application seeking extension of Part
Lot Control for lots within 40M -2364 submitted by Carrington Homes. The report was
approved and Council adopted By -law 2011 -023 approving the extension of part lot
control exemption for Lots 68, 69, 73, 80, 81 and 83 of 40M -2364.
2.2 Recently the builder realized that Lot 79 of 40M -2364 (Attachment 1) was overlooked
when submitting the application in February. A closing for one of the units on Lot 79 is
scheduled for May 6. As a result the By -law for extension to Part Lot Control Exemption
is being brought directly to Council for their consideration and approval.
2.3 Plan 40M -2364 was originally registered on December 4, 2007. It allowed for the
development of 77 single detached dwelling lots and 12 semi - detached /linked lots (24
units). An application for Removal of Part Lot Control was originally considered and
approved in March, 2008. By -law 2008 -031 was approved with an expiry period of three
(3) years and expired on March 3, 2011.
3.0 COMMENTS
3.1 Staff has no objection to the approval of a by -law exempting the subject lands from Part
Lot Control. Attached is a By -law (Attachment 2) to exempt the subject lands from
Section 50(5) of the Planning Act. The By -law could be in force for a three (3) year
period following Council approval, ending March 7, 2014, consistent with the By -law
adopted earlier this year.
3.2 In accordance with the procedures established in the delegation of Part Lot Control By-
laws, the "Unit Type and Number Summary Table" (Attachment 3) along with a copy of
the Part Lot Control By -law will be forwarded to the Regional Planning Department.
3.3 The Finance Department advises that the taxes have been paid in full.

What an emotional day!! Seeing all those bikers riding the Hwy of Hero's in support of our
troops was a sight to see. We must continue to support our men and women,no matter
what our personal opinions are about the war in Afghanistan. Continue to support the
families who have lost their loved ones and the soldiers who are both mentally and
physically injured . Please don't forget that these are our Veterans of the future and
deserve the rights and support of our country.

First off I want to thank Lou of the Perfect Pigs MC as he did a wonderful job organizing
this ride to honor the men and women who serve our country. The people on the bridges
as we passed by and the number of bikers who attended this event also deserve a special
thank you. As to Bob's comment on the dollars raised give your head a shake man it was a
FREE ride. The main purpose of the ride was to HONOR the men and women in service of
our country who give their lives so we can ride our bikes. As Don said all bike rides have a
minimum that you have to payjust to go on the ride and in most cases the cause is not
even important to the biker but in this case the CAUSE was the reason for the ride.

June 6 1944...1 remember. My father, George joined the RCN in 1941 at the age of 17. He
was a signalman on one of the landing craft on D -Day that hit a mine and sank just off
shore. He did not talk much about it, but I remember him saying it was one of the most
scariest times in his life. Luckily, he made it through that day and many after that, finally
retireing from the RCN in 1966. Sadly, he passed away in July 2000 from cancer. He did
make it over to France for the 5oth ann. of D -Day and I am sure it was an emotional time
for him.
Thanks Dad, and all Veterans past and present, and to all Servicemen /women still serving
in the Armed Forces for the freedoms we enjoy today.

As the brother of a Lifetime member of the Canadian Armed Forces I was privileged
enough to participate in this event and must say it was moving beyond words to finally
see some good old flag waiving appreciation of Canadian soldiers.
Thanks to the Perfect Pigs M/C for the opportunity to be of service to our Veterans

was over 35oo bikers on the Highway of Heroes. I watched them from my

My wife and I, both serving members of the Canadian Forces, greatly appreciate the
support shown for Canadian troops. Yesterdays ride was a blast and passing under the
bridges that had so many people showing their support was incrediable. The
significant effort from all the organizers and volunteers needs to be acknowledged as
well as the people who donated to support a very important fund. Well done!!
We be participating on the next ride and really look forward to it. Thanks Lou for
putting on such a fantastic day to honour Canadian troops. Outstanding!!!

As a child, I remember listening in awe to the stories from my relatives about this day.
As a member of the militia when I was a teenager, I remember my whole being filling
with pride to be a part of the celebrations and remeberance of this day.
Now as a man approaching the middle ages I again am filled with pride, but also with
sorrow, when I think back at the loss and carnage that went on this day, on both sides of
the battle.
How many loved were lost for the sake of progress, and as I shed a tear for all of those,
say NEVER AGAIN LORD PLEASE NEVER AGAIN.
The pain is too hard to bear.
"From failing hands we throve, the torch of peace for you to hold,"
Z000 lifetimes of peace Oh Lord hear our prayer.
Grant us this wish.
Amen.
