financial support to save the Greater Toronto Town Band Festival. Mr.
Climenhage stated that over 90 volunteers came out to help at the festival.
Last year's festival was highlighted on Canada AM, in the Toronto Star,
Global Mail and advertised on six radio stations around Ontario. People
came from great distances to attend this festival and it has great potential
to be a tourist attraction to the municipality. The cost to hold this festival
last year was $90,000. They are currently in debt of$17,000. Mr.
Climenhage requested that Council help cover their debt with the issuance
of an interest-free loan so they may continue to hold this festival in years
to come. Mr. Climenhage is confident that they will be able to pay back
the loan by next year's festival.
Frank Harris, 3403 Liberty Street North, R.R. #5, Bowmanville, L 1 C 3K6,
addressed Council pertaining to a Property Standards Order which was

Department to remove trees on his property. Mr. Harris notified the By-
law Department that the trees were removed by a contractor. Mr. Harris
received another letter from the By-law Department to remove large, over
hanging branches from his trees located on his property. He contracted
out again to remove the large branches of the trees and has spent over
$1,000 to complete this work. Once again, he has received a third letter to
have the trees completed removed from his property. Mr. Harris has
appealed this Order to the Superior Court of Justice. He is requesting
financial assistance from Council should the trees need to be removed.

Lynda Harlos, 97 Centerfield Drive, Courtice, LIE IL5, addressed
Council on behalf of her husband and herself to help save their heritage
home. After three years of speaking to municipal staff and looking for
land on which to move their heritage house to, they have found a location
to relocate their home. Mrs. Harlos is requesting that land severance
policies be amended to allow for the preservation of heritage buildings.
Representatives of the Kendal Community Association advised that they
would not be in attendance at this meeting.
Doug Ferguson, R.R. #2, Orono, LOB IMO, addressed Council regarding
the "no trespassing" signs located on the Oak Ridges Trail. Mr. Ferguson
has sighted "no trespassing" signs in the middle of the Oak Ridges Trail
and questioned who is responsible for the removal of these signs.
Murray Yeo, 6207 Middle Road, Bowmanville, LI C 3K2, advised
Council that he owns a piece of property adjacent to the Oak Ridges Trail
and is very favourable ofthe trail. He enjoys walking, hiking, cross-
country skiing on the trails and believes that things have changed due to
growth of the municipality. Residents do not enjoy people walking on
their property, however the road allowances should be available for all to
enjoy. Mr. Yeo volunteered his time to help maintain the trail.
Roy Forrester, P.O. Box 97, Orono, LOB IMO indicated that on
September 21,2000, the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority gave
approval for the Oak Ridges Trail to pass through the Ganaraska Forest.
Mr. Forrester thanked Council for their approval of the recommendations
contained in Report WD-32-00 at the Committee level and encouraged
Council to give final approval to those recommendations tonight.
Mr. D. Gould, 904 Mosport Road, Orono, LOB IMO, addressed Council
with respect to the Oak Ridges Trail. Mr. Gould believes that if an
unopened road allowance is opened for the Oak Ridges Trail, the Trail
Association should be responsible for any damages, liability or trespassing
on these unopened road allowances. He is concerned that the trail will
provide a way to gain access to Mosport.
Mrs. Gould spoke on behalf of Beat Niklaus, 55 Metcalf Street,
Newcastle, LIB lL9, the owner of property abutting Mosport Park. Mr.

Fran Harvie, 8801 Mosport Road, Orono, LOB IMO, addressed Council
regarding the Oak Ridges Trail. She questioned why individuals who
have submitted letters to the municipality have not been included as
interested parties in Addendum to Report WD-32-00. She submitted a
letter from Caterina Gucciardi, Solicitor, which states that the forced road
referred to in Section 3.0 of the report does, in fact, belong to Mrs.
Wilson, not the municipality. Ifthe trail is located over Mrs. Wilson's
property, they will be holding the municipality and ORT A responsible.
Donald Sutherland, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, 300 Water
Street, Peterborough, K9J 8M5, advised prior to the meeting he would not
be in attendance.
Donna Millingen, Broker, Insurance Solutions Plus, 1370 Don Mills Road,
Toronto, M3B 3N7, voiced concerns pertaining to Fran Harvie's property
and where the trail would be placed. Ms. Millingen has reviewed
paperwork on the Oak Ridges Trail and commented on specific topics, for
example, washroom facilities placed at different locations which would
not be possible due to the slope of Ms. Harvie's property. She also
discussed the garbage and environmental pollution which would be caused
if people using the trail did not carry their garbage out with them. Ms.
Millingen also discussed "turn back" sections along the trail if someone
where not able to complete the trail due to illness. The shortcut to a main
road happens to be right across Ms. Harvie's property. Ms. Millingen
stated that the liability coverage of $2 million is not enough for the
amount of land this trail covers. She requested that the property owners be
listed as additionally covered under the liability insurance. Ms. Millingen
has additional concerns regarding Ms. Harvie's property which has a pond
located close to the road allowance.
Ann Guiot, Skelton, Brumwell and Associates, 151 Ferris Lane, Barrie,
L4M 6Cl, advised prior to the meeting that she would not be in
attendance.
Carl Shenk, 190 Church Street, Bowmanville, LIC 3A6, addressed
Council in support of the proposed route for the Oak Ridges Trail. The
tremendous population and development pressures being experienced
throughout the GTA and here in Clarington, make it imperative to
allocate, safeguard and promote an expansion of the opportunities that
exist for public participation in healthful and stress-relieving outdoor
activities within our municipality.

Wanda Pitchforth, Executive Director, Literacy Network of Durham
Region, advising Council that September 8th is International Literacy Day.
This is a day set aside each year to recognize the importance of reading
and writing in our communities, and the struggle faced by 55% of Durham
Region's adult population who have some level of difficulty with literacy
skills. The International Adult Literacy Survey report confirms that
literacy is liked to the economic success of not only Durham Region, but
the province of Ontario and Canada as a nation. Each and every day,
employees are put to the challenge of dealing with higher level tasks in the
workplace. The bar is being raised in order to adapt to changes in
technology and market conditions.

In fact, very few people in Durham Region have the reading and writing
skills needed to meet today's challenges. The solution lies in revaluing
learning. Adult literacy is an issue that demands serious attention by
decision makers. Government business, educators, volunteers and
individual citizens all have a role to play in creating a society that values
learning and supports literacy for all age groups. The Literacy Network of
Durham Region will be launching a family literacy tool kit in the near
future and they hope that they can count on our support to encourage
people in the Municipality of Clarington to pick up a copy of this tool and
make use of its ideas.

Helen Johns, Minister of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation and
Elizabeth Witmer, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, providing
Council with their brochure, Active Ontario - New Directions and
Partnerships. More than 60% of the people in our province are not
physically active enough to benefit their health. The Government of
Ontario considers this a serious challenge to the health and quality of life
in communities across our province, and has made a commitment to
increase the number of physically active Ontarians by three per cent by the
year 2001. The latest research tells them that the best way to increase
physical activity is to make it a part of daily life. This means it is
important for them to reach out to people in their workplace, school,
homes, communities and the recreation, sport and health systems.
Working together with the Ontario Physical and Health Education
Association, ParticipAction, Parks and Recreation Ontario, the Ontario
Public Health Association, the Leisure Information Network, the Canadian
Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute, provincial sports organizations
and other partners, they have begun launching a number of provincial
initiatives to support this new direction.

Ruby McPhee, advising Council of a letter that was published in her local
paper on August 23, 2000, regarding Toronto sending their garbage to the
Adams Mine Site. This is not an ordinary landfill site we are voting on.
This is a small lake at the bottom of a large pit. The mine has been closed
for several years and if the pit didn't leak it would be over 600 ft deep
instead of250 ft deep. Ms. McPhee's nephew who is a geologist and
mining engineer and has worked in mines in Africa and now is currently
in Brazil worked at this Adams Mine in the summer holidays while he was
going to mining school. He said one of his jobs was to do a dye test to see
if the pit leaked. The results ofthe dye test showed that the water in the
pit leaked out into all the little streams and the river that is close to the
site. This is where Mr. McGuinty is going to pump the water out ofthe pit
into all these little streams and the river. On voting to send Toronto
garbage to this site we will be voting for a licence to kill as this water that
he is going to pump out will contaminate the navigable waters from here
to Ottawa and eventually the little streams and rivers flowing in the
Municipality ofClarington's direction.

investments yield stay in those communities, providing jobs and
generating economic activity. For co-operatives and credit unions,
success is also measured in the number of jobs they create, in the services
they offer to their members, and in the equitable way they distribute their
earnings within the communities they serve. More than 135,000 people
are employed by co-operatives and credit unions from coast to coast.

Donna Schinkel, Chairperson, Durham Region Breastfeeding Coalition,
requesting Council to proclaim October 1 to 7, 2000, as World
Breastfeeding Week in Canada. World Breastfeeding Week celebrates the
importance of breastfeeding for all women, children, families and
communities. This year's theme is Breastfeeding: It's Your Right! It
recognizes the importance of raising awareness about the fact that
breastfeeding is a right for both mother and child and seeks to stimulate a
shift in public thinking so that this right is respected, protected, facilitated
and fulfilled at household, community and government levels in every
country. This special week provides an opportunity for people around the
world to join together, in celebration and action, to raise public awareness
ofthe benefits of breastfeeding to mothers, infants and society at large;
and to recognize that breastfeeding women are subjects of human rights,
not objects of charity.

Louise Button, ClaringtonlNewcastle Block Parents, requesting that
October 23 to 29, 2000, be proclaimed Block Parent Week. Each year,
one week in October is designated as Block Parent Week throughout
Canada. Communities are asked to help promote the Block Parent
program and to create a safe community for all citizens. In recognition of
this week they would like to request that the Block Parent flag fly at the
municipality office on Temperance Street. They would hope that if this
request were granted that the mayor or designate would be able to join
them for a short ceremony to raise the flag. If their request were granted
they would seek permission from Community Services to advertise Block
Parent Week on the two service boards ie. Garnet Rickard Complex and
near the Bank of Montreal.

Becky Wall, Public Health Nurse, requesting Council to proclaim October
4,2000, as International Walk to School Day. International Walk to
School Day replaces National Walk a Child to School Day (WCSD). On
October 6, 1999, over 42,000 students actively participated in the second
annual WCSD in the City of Toronto, York and Durham Regions.
Through our support, they can make International Walk to School Day
successful once again this year in Durham Region. International Walk to
School Day, endorsed by the Canadian Federation of Municipalities, was
established to encourage children and parents to become more physically
active, increase safe walking routes to school and promote cleaner air in
our communities. The importance ofthis day should not be
underestimated. Two thirds of Canadian children do not participate in
enough physical activity to lay a solid foundation for future health and
well being. Traffic collision statistics for the Region show that young
children need to be taught the importance of safe walking routes and
practises. In 1998, approximately twenty people under the age of20 were
involved in non-fatal collisions with vehicles. Many of these collisions
were due to unsafe pedestrian actions.

Michelle Clarke, requesting a crossing guard be placed on Simpson
Avenue and Jane Street in Bowmanville. After exercising all other
options Ms. Clarke has been directed to Council to make an application
for a crossing guard. Ms. Clarke's six-year-old daughter attends Ontario
Street Public School and she is concerned for the safety to and from
school. Living on the east side of Simpson Avenue, she must cross this
busy street without the aide of a crossing guard or traffic lights. Through
conversations with transportation and Ontario Street Public School, her
daughter is unable to be bussed as she is within walking distance to her
school. The only aide that is available to her to cross Simpson A venue is
at Simpson and King Streets where there are lights and a guard available.
For her daughter to walk to the lights, cross, then walk back to Jane Street
it will add 20 minutes to her trip as well as put her over the kilometers that
is considered walking distance.

Mr. and Mrs. Howe, advising Council that they are against any bridge
being built over Foster Creek. This exclusive neighbourhood would be
greatly affected due to traffic volume and speed, and the property values
in this very desirable area of Newcastle would never be the same. Many
of them have enjoyed their court being tucked away from the larger
subdivisions and by having a major throughway on Grady Drive the
problem of traffic would be very dangerous for all of the younger children
who now enjoy the freedom of their street with it's low traffic volume.
The environment surrounding the creek will be destroyed if a major bridge
and road are constructed. They as taxpayers do not want to foot the bill
for this bridge to be built and would be very resentful of any of their taxes
going to the road construction as well. Let the developer pay as he will
only make money from it and they will loose all their equity and peace and
quiet and safety that they now enjoy.

David Climenhage, Chairman, Greater Canadian Town Band Festival,
requesting Council's support for the continuation of Greater Canadian
Town Band Festival in 2001 and future years as a major international band
festival. Mr. Climenhage believes this years' festival was a great success.
Over 3000 people attended the events over July 1 st weekend that included
the Military Tattoo, Victorian Ball, The Callathumpian parade and the
series of concerts held throughout the village. Their audience was
entertained by some of Canada's finest bands and experienced the sounds
of historic bands that have rarely been heard in Canada. The cost of
mounting this festival is high because of the outstanding quality of bands,
the travel expenses for visiting bands and the cost of staging and
advertising the event. After all revenues and costs are included they have
a budget deficit from their first year of approximately $16,000. The
festival committee raised a total of approximately $70,000 in cash and
their total expenses were $86,000. Ifthe in-kind donations of $20,000 are
included, their revenue would total $90,000 raised versus $106,000 in total
expenses. The Great Canadian Town Band Festival is unique in Canada
and has the potential to become a major tourist attraction. Mr.
Climenhage is requesting support from Council in the form of a loan to
finance this years deficit and to consider a level of sponsorship for next
year. Their committee is developing an aggressive plan to fund raise so
that they will repay the deficit and cover all expenses for next year's Great
Canadian Town Band Festival.

writing to Council regarding Koren Hillier, Weight Watcher Leader and
Service Provider. Ms. Todd is requesting Council's support for Koren
Hillier to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society and Breast Cancer
Awareness in the "Head for a Cure" campaign. Koren has promoted
healthy living and support to her Weight Watchers members in her "At
Work" meetings, since November 1999 at the Town Hall location. As
well, she has supported cancer fundraising efforts in many ways. She has,
for example, participated in the first Terry Fox in Newfoundland, and has
been moved by the event's power ever since. As many of Koren's family,
friends and members have been touched by this cruel disease, she believes
participating in "Head for Cure" through soliciting pledges to have her
head shaved is her way of supporting them and helping find a cure. She is
thankful for her many blessings in life and believes she has the choice to
try to make a difference. Koren has chosen to shave her head whereas
most cancer patients doesn't have a choice oflosing their hair. On
September 23 at the Ajax Community Centre, Koren will shave her head
along with 11 others. Her goal is to raise $10,000 of which she has
already raised $4,000.
