O'Toole, MPP, Durham, writing to Council with respect to the Safe Streets Act, 1999, which he understands has given rise to certain concerns in some municipalities and community fund raising groups. The Highway Traffic Act has always made it an offence for someone, while on a roadway, to stop or attempt to stop a vehicle to offer or provide any commodity or service to anyone in the vehicle. Traditionally, law enforcement agents have worked co-operatively with non-profit charitable organizations. The Safe Streets Act simply adds that it is an offence to approach a vehicle to offer a commodity or service, or to solicit for money while on a roadway. It does not prevent someone from soliciting money in a non-aggressive manner from people in vehicles, if the person soliciting is positioned on a sidewalk, shoulder, boulevard, median or other place that is not a roadway. This government appreciates the valuable contributions voluntary organizations make to the quality oflife in the province and recognizes how much these activities contribute to the well-being and strength of Ontario communities. Mr. O'Toole encourages charities to work with local police services in advance of their activities so that charities' activities are in compliance with the Safe Streets Act and the Highway Traffic Act.

(Correspondence referred to the Director of Public Works) Terri Gtay, Support Services, The Oshawa/Clarington Association for Community Living, writing to Council regarding the future needs of Clarington residents with developmental disabilities. She would like to thank the Municipality for all the support they have received with their Activity Centre located at 132 Church Street in Bowmanville. The Centre has been very successful in providing supports and services to people of Clarington with developmental disabilities. They have been in operation since November 1997. The location of 132 Church Street provided them with their beginning. The support they have received from the community, partnership agencies and the families has allowed for exciting results. As part of their role they are looking at future needs in Clarington. They are aware that within a two year period 25 students with developmental disabilities will be graduating from Courtice Secondary School. This is not taking into account the regular referrals they receive from the community at large. Currently there are 35 registered active members at the centre. With this in mind, they are planning around the support demands these changes will bring to Clarington. With all partners involved, the building at 132 Church Street is being used to its maximum. . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS D-4 M02.GE D-5 M02.GE - 12- May 8, 2000 The youth Centre has experienced a significant increase in activity.

They are requesting that the Municipality consider the Clarington Project Activity Centre for the Library location on Church Street when it becomes available. Realizing that the Library will not be moving for some time, consideration and confIrmation to relocate to the Library location would give the Clarington Project the opportunity to make the plans needed for a smooth transition to a new location.

Newton Reed, Secretary York Presbytery, writing Council regarding the Oak Ridges Moraine. York Presbytery of the United Church of Canada passed the following resolution: "Faith Base: We believe in the abundance of God's creation and our responsibility to nurture and share it. The New Creed of The United Church of Canada states that we are called to live with respect in Creation. Background: The Oak Ridges Moraine covers a large number of hectares in the middle of York Presbytery, extending beyond our eastern and western borders. The Moraine is an environmentally sensitive area which is not yet fully understood. It is the source of several streams and rivers. York Presbytery feels the need for much more comprehensive scientific study to be done on the Moraine and adjoining regions. The Moraine is a part of several municipalities, and those municipalities have not come together to form a common approach to development on the Moraine. The Provincial Government, the only body capable of the required research and coordination, has adopted a 'hands-off approach, which may very well leave the critical decisions by default to a few members of the non-elected Ontario Municipal Board. It is our view that the potential exists for irreparable damage to be done to the environment by hasty or ill-considered development on the Moraine. THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that York Presbytery contact the various municipalities, and the Federal and Provincial Governments, and the Ontario Municipal Board, asking that a freeze be placed on development on the Oak Ridges Moraine until such time as a common environmental study may be made, and so that the Province, in consultation with the Federal and Municipal governments, can provide a common, responsible, and properly funded approach, to ensure both the viability of the ecosystem and due attention to housing needs; and THAT copies of this motion be sent to the offices of other religious groups; and . . .

"CARRIED" William Irving, V.P. 4- Pitch, on behalf of the Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball Association, requesting support and some assistance in the construction of a Batting Cage and Storage Unit for the Courtice Parks Baseball and Softball Association. The C.P.B.S.A. has, for the last 13 years, been providing summer baseball, softball, 4-pitch and T -Ball programs for young people ages 4 to 18 yrs. in the Courtice area. They are a non-profit association, operated by volunteers, funded solely through player registration fees and team sponsorships. This year they have over 500 players registered and a total of 41 teams. The Batting Cage and Storage Unit they are proposing will greatly enhance their ability to develop players fundamental skills as well as provide a more convenient and less costly storage place for uniforms and equipment. A letter outlining their proposal for the project was sent to Mr. Stephen Vokes, Director of Public Works. This letter prompted further discussions with Public Works with respect to project design, costs estimates, etc. and they value our experience and appreciate our help in this matter. Their Association has fundraised specifically for this purpose and has $25,000.00 allocated for the project. Current estimates suggest that this will not likely cover the entire cost of the project and therefore they are asking Council's assistance in the form of a grant in the amount of $5,000.00 to help them with this project. . . .
