Planning and Development Committee Report). He thanked Members of Council
for the opportunity to speak and explained that he owns property and farms on a
large area within, and adjacent to, the Special Study Area 2. Mr. Selby explained
that he operates an agricultural business which involves borrow ing against his
land for various expenses. He added that the cost of business is increasing due
to many factors including the increase of various taxe s. Mr. Selby stated that
adding his land into the Greenbelt would essentially destroy the value of his
Page 8
February 8 to 9, 2021 Council Meeting
4
land. He continued by explaining this designation would result in lenders
requiring additional security and would be a major threat to his business. Mr.
Selby added that the Greenbelt design expansion undermines farmers ’ ability to
use their agricultural land. He concluded by saying that the Greenbelt expansion
will result in a decline in the farming industry and farmland being sold. He
answered questions from the Members of Council.

8.3 Bob Schickedanz, President, Ontario Home Builders Association,
Regarding Public Meeting Notice for Special Study Area 2 of the Clarington
Official Plan
Bob Schickedanz, President, Ontario Home Builders Association, was present
via electronic means regarding the Public Meeting Notice for Special Study Area
2 of the Clarington Official Plan (Item 4 of the Planning and Development
Committee Report). He explained that he was present in his capacity as the
President of the Ontario Home Builders Association. Mr. Schickedanz noted
that, to accommodate growth in Ontario, we need to build a million homes and
that delaying the work of the many of the Secondary Plans negatively impacts
the housing supply and building activity in the Municipality of Clarington. He
stated that constraining the housing supply is not an option and this will magnify
the cost of housing for homebuyers. Mr. Schickedanz added that both delaying
these Secondary Plans and the implications of COVID-19 will be detrimental to
economic recovery. He is supportive of removal of Special Study Area 2 from
the Official Plan but stressed the importance of the work on the Secondary Plans
continuing to allow the housing shortage issues to be addressed. Mr.
Schickedanz answered questions from the Members of Council.
8.4 Johnathan Schickedanz, President, Durham Region Home Builders'
Association, Regarding Public Meeting Notice for Special Study Area 2 of
the Clarington Official Plan
Johnathan Schickedanz, President, Durham Region Home Builders' Association,

Study Area 2 of the Clarington Official Plan (Item 4 of the Planning and
Development Committee Report). He noted he is also the Manager of Far Sight
Homes and explained that Far Sight does not currently have any land in the
proposed Secondary Plan areas. Mr. Schickedanz advised that he supports the
change for the Special Study Area 2 to be part of the Official Plan review
process. He requested that the timing be reviewed and adjusted to avoid delays
of the three Secondary Plans that are already under way. Mr. Schickedanz
explained that they need to continue to build to accommodate the housing
markets and the delay will increase costs and delays of the new homes being
built. He concluded by requesting that Council consider adjusting the start date
of the review of the Special Study Area 2 to allow the Secondary Plan work to
continue. Mr. Schickedanz answered questions from the Members of Council.
8.5 Robert Webb, Manager, Brookhill North Landowners Group. Inc., Regarding
Public Meeting Notice for Special Study Area 2 of the Clarington Official
Plan
Robert Webb, Manager, Brookhill North Landowners Group. Inc., was present via
electronic means regarding the Public Meeting Notice for Special Study Area 2 of
the Clarington Official Plan (Item 4 of the Planning and Development Committee
Report). He noted that he owns property in the proposed Brookhill Secondary
Plan Area. Mr. Webb is asking the Members of Council to not delay the work on
the Brookhill Secondary Plan. He added that reviewing the Special Study Area 2
in the Official Plan would delay all of the Secondary Plan work. Mr. Webb added
that they do not oppose the Special Study Area 2 being removed from the Official
Plan but is requesting that the timing of this review be changed to a later date.
He explained that all of the necessary resources fro m the Municipality need to
continue to be allocated to these Secondary Plans as the work for the Brookhill
Secondary Plan began back in 2018. Mr. Webb continued by noting they have
been working with the Municipality, but it is critical that these be compl eted in
timely manner so that the new housing in the area is not further delayed. He
added that the Brookhill North development will bring more residential and
commercial development to the Municipality of Clarington. Mr. Webb concluded
by requesting the work on the Brookhill Secondary Plan continue so that they are
able to meet the completion goal of early 2021. He answered questions from the
Members of Council.
8.6 Ted Watson and Richard Rekker, Regarding Public Meeting Notice for
Special Study Area 2 of the Clarington Official Plan
Richard Rekker was present via electronic means regarding the Public Meeting
Notice for Special Study Area 2 of the Clarington Official Plan (Item 4 of the
Planning and Development Committee Report) Mr. Rekker noted that Mr.
Watson was not able to attend this evening due to another commitment and
would be speaking on his behalf of him and his family. He noted that neither
himself nor Mr. Watson are speaking on behalf of the Agricultural Advisory
Committee. Mr. Rekker explained that Mr. Watson was previously on the
Agricultural Advisory Committee and was present at the meeting where the
Page 10
February 8 to 9, 2021 Council Meeting
6
motion was passed in 2011 related to the expansion of the Greenbelt. He
explained that, although Mr. Watson supported the motion, he did not support
areas in the Whitebelt being included in the expansion of the Greenbelt or what
impact this motion would have.
Mr. Rekker advised the Members of Council he was surprised to discover his
property is within Special Study Area 2. He added that he only discovered this
with the approval of the new Home Hardware location and the motion that was
passed to include these areas in the Greenbelt. Mr. Rekker stated that 81% of
Clarington is in the Greenbelt and the addition of this area would make the
amount to close to 90%. He believes that there is a misunderstanding that the
Agricultural Advisory Committee supports expanding the Greenbelt area. Mr.
Rekker is requesting more consultation with the property owners that will be
included in this proposed expansion as they are families and business owners
who offer employment to the community. He concluded by requesting that the
Special Study Area 2 area be immediately deleted from the Official Plan. Mr.
Rekker answered question from the Members of Coun cil.
Recess

Ryan Guetter, Weston Consulting Inc., was present via electronic means

Official Plan (Item 4 of the Planning and Development Committee Report). He
explained that he is representing the two Bowmanville East Landowners Groups
which include the Soper Creek Sub Watershed Study and the Soper Hill's and
Soper Springs Secondary Plans. Mr. Guetter emphasized the importance of
these two projects to the Municipality and added that they are all subject to legal
agreements. He noted that the Bowmanville East development owners do not
take any position on the Special Study Area 2, however there are concerns that
there will be delays to the Secondary Plans if staff resources are diverted. Mr.
Guetter continued by requesting that the existing projects proceed with full staff
resources to ensure they are completed as per the agreements. He concluded
by adding that these developments will supply additional housing and park for the
Municipality of Clarington. Mr. Guetter answered questions from the Members of
Council.

8.8 David Astill, Regarding Addendum to Report PSD-050-20 Draft Plan of
Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment to Permit 25 Townhouse
Dwellings in a Common Elements Condominium, Courtice
David Astill, was present via electronic means regarding Addendum to Report
PSD-050-20, Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment to Permit
25 Townhouse Dwellings in a Common Elements Condominium, Courtice. He
noted that many of the residents spoke in opposition to the development in 2019.
Mr. Astill stated that he has concerns with safety and increased traffic. He
believes that the Region of Durham saying they have no issues with the
proposed development is extremely negligent. Mr. Astill added that there has
been talk of the Adelaide Road extension for many years and recently he heard
that they soonest it would be completed it 2027. He explained that 25 townhomes
are too many as this is essentially doubling the amount of homes in one
subdivision. Mr. Astill added that this development does not fit in with the
existing neighbourhood design and that the townhomes will tower over the
existing homes in the area. He stated the residents encourage development
when it does not jeopardize safety and fits in with the existing neighbourhood.
Mr. Astill requested that the Members of Council to not support the approval of
this development.
8.9 Joanna Longworth, Regarding Addendum to Report PSD-050-20 Draft Plan
of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment to Permit 25 Townhouse
Dwellings in a Common Elements Condominium, Courtice
Joanna Longworth was present via electronic means regarding Addendum to
Report PSD-050-20 Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment to
Permit 25 Townhouse Dwellings in a Common Elements Condominium, Courtice.
She noted that she is in opposition of, and has concerns with, the
development. Ms. Longworth noted that last year many residents opposed the
development and the views of the residents have not changed. She stated there
are issues with safety, traffic, and parking and does not feel any of these have
been addressed. Ms. Longworth added that this development does not fit in with
the existing neighbourhood design. She continued by explaining that her main
concern is safety due to the increased traffic and speeding. Ms. Longworth feels
any development should not proceed until the Adelaide Road extension has
taken place. She stated there have been some comparisons with similar
developments in Oshawa and she feels that these are very different from the
subdivision being proposed. Ms. Longworth noted that she would prefer single
family homes be developed. She concluded by requesting that the Members of
Council not support the approval of the development. Ms. Longworth answered
questions from the Members of Council.

Page 26

Whereas pursuant to the second provincial emergency under s 7.0.1 (1) of
the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMPCA) effective
January 14, 2021, a stay-at-home order was issued with the aim of limiting

budget being required;
Whereas the Public Works – Winter Control budget still calls for an
increase of $125,000 in funding over last year’s budget of $2,010,000 for

Whereas the Director of Public Works maintains discretion to deploy salt,
sand and brine as required, even if this means exceeding the budgeted
amount since Winter Control is a required service, resulting in no risk to
taxpayers’ safety as a result of a reduction in the proposed increase; and.
Whereas when the economy has returned to normal after the pandemic,
salt, sand and brine funding can be restored to 100% of pre-COVID-19
levels;

directed the Public Works Department to provide winter maintenance on
various trails to encourage outdoor exercise in an effort to improve the
physical, mental health and general overall well-being of individuals due to
COVID-19;
Whereas a popular section of the Waterfront Trail through the Samuel
Wilmot Nature Area between Cobbledick Road and Toronto Street in
Newcastle could not be included with this program due to the steep
grades on the trail system that may potentially create an unsafe
maintenance situation; and
Whereas the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area Advisory Committee has
requested that, due to a major increase in trail usage during the winter as
a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, that the flat portions of the Waterfront
Trail be cleared that go through the SWNA;
Now therefore be it resolved:
That Public Works Department be directed to provide snow removal
on the flat sections of the Waterfront Trail through the Samuel
Wilmot Nature Area from Cobbledick Road to approximately 350m
east and also from Toronto Street to 650m west; and

Re: Draft Clarington Corporate Climate Action Plan – Comments and
Responses Summary
On February 22, 2021, the draft Clarington Corporate Climate Action Plan (CCCAP) was
received by the Planning and Development Committee. The CCCAP proposes 115 actions
that the Municipality can take to help the Corporation adapt to Climate Change and reduce
GHG emissions. At the PDC meeting, members of Council and the public provided
comments on several actions contained in the CCCAP. Members of the public also provided
feedback on the CCCAP directly to staff via email and phone. On Wednesday February 24,
2021, the Clarington Interdepartmental Climate Change Working Group reviewed the
comments from both Council and the public.
The attached table provides a summary of comments received and how they will be
addressed in the final CCCAP.

Draft Clarington Corporate Climate Change Action Plan (CCCAP)
Comments and Responses Summary
Draft CCCAP Comments Summary Staff Response
Regarding action 1.1 - require waste and
recycling service providers document
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
The Municipality does not have the ability to require waste and
recycling businesses to display GHG emissions on invoices. The
Municipality can request that service providers display GHG
emissions on their invoices as a voluntary measure. The inclusion of
GHG emissions calculations on invoices would allow the municipality
to more easily track corporate GHG emissions associated with
waste. However, GHG emissions calculations on invoices would
need to be undertaken using the internationally agreed-upon
methodology employed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change. No change is recommended for this action.
Regarding action 1.14 - use free parking for
people who carpool as an incentive for low-
carbon transportation
The Municipality provides staff parking. Community parking policies
can be considered in future updates to the municipal parking bylaw.
No change is recommended for this action.
Regarding action 1.25 - update green fleet
strategy, change the frequency of action from
“one time” to “recurring” to keep up with
technology and the condition of the climate.
Green fleet strategies are generally updated periodically to
incorporate new technologies that reduce energy consumption, cost
and GHG emissions, and increase the reliability of technology. For
the purpose of the CCCAP, frequency is measured in relation to the
implementation period of the CCCAP (5 years). The green fleet
strategy will only be updated once within the implementation period
of the CCCAP. No change is recommended for this action.
Regarding action 1.26 - change the frequency of
action from “one time” to “recurring” to keep up
with technology and the condition of the climate
Development standards are updated periodically to incorporate new
approaches to building and to align to updates to the Ontario
Building Code. For the purpose of the CCCAP, frequency is
measured in relation to the implementation period of the CCCAP (5
years). Clarington’s approach to green development standards will
be updated once within the implementation period of the CCCAP.
Therefore, action 1.26 is “one time”. No change is recommended for
this action.

Regarding action 1.27 - change the frequency of
actions from “one time” to “recurring” to keep up
with technology and the condition of the climate
Development standards are updated periodically to incorporate new
approaches to building and to align to updates to the Ontario
Building Code. For the purpose of the CCCAP, frequency is
measured in relation to the implementation period of the CCCAP (5
years). Clarington’s approach to green development standards will
only be updated once within the implementation period of the
CCCAP. Therefore, action 1.27 is “one time”. No change is
recommended for this action.
Regarding action 1.8 - consider reducing the
temperature of pools to conserve energy.
Currently the temperature of the main pools in all three of
Clarington’s swimming pool facilities are set at 85 degrees F. Facility
operations staff at Oshawa were contacted to receive information
about their indoor pool temperatures. The temperature settings
ranged from a low of 82F at Donevan Recreation Complex to a high
of 87F at Delpark Homes Centre, with 85F at the Civic Recreation
Complex and 84F at South Oshawa Community Centre. This range
is common based on the types of swimming activities held in each
facility. The temperature of the pools in Clarington align with best
practices in Oshawa and other Durham area Municipality’s for user
comfort and the use of each pool. Facilities staff will review pool
temperature practices for potential energy savings. Other actions are
being taken to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions as
part of the Municipal Energy Conservation and Demand
Management Plan with relation to recreation facilities. No change is
recommended for this action.
Regarding action 4.12 - consider solar panels on
municipal buildings microgrid using solar panels.
Solar is one way to offset municipal energy consumption and GHG
emissions. Solar is not a viable option for all municipal buildings due
to building orientation and structural limitations. It is recommended
that this action be amended to “Update municipal building design
standards to incorporate green and reflective roofs and rooftop PV
solar in new building designs and existing building designs where
practicable”.

Draft CCCAP Comments Summary Staff Response
Regarding action 4.23 - use permeable
pavement wherever possible.
Overland flooding caused by water-impermeable paved surfaces is
an increasing problem in urban areas, as stormwater is unable to be
absorbed into the ground. LIDs including permeable paving allow
water to be absorbed, helping to reduce the potential for overland
flooding. It is recommended that this action be amended to prioritize
the use of LIDs on all municipal properties. “Incorporate low impact
development approaches to stormwater management in municipal
park and recreation facility upgrades, where practicable”.
Regarding action 5.5 - the selection of trees
should include the selection of tree species that
are suited to future climate conditions
Not all tree species currently grown in Clarington will be suitably
adapted to the future climate. Action 5.5 has been updated to
account for climate changes in Clarington’s tree planting initiatives.
“Expand municipal tree planting programs and partnerships to
include urban and rural tree planting on public and private properties.
Selections of trees planted must by suited to future climate
projections”
Regarding action 7.5 of the CCCAP – remove
review of stormwater fee and credit program as
an action within the CCCAP, as the action may
result in additional fees for businesses with
impermeable surfaces on their property.
Overland flooding will become an increasing concern as the climate
changes and the municipality grows. Action 7.5 of the CCCAP
recommends evaluating the implementation of a stormwater fee (and
credit) program to encourage residents and businesses to maintain
and enhance permeable surfaces on their property to help minimize
overland flooding and increase surface water infiltration. The action
is recommended to be maintained within the plan, as evaluating a
stormwater fee and credit program will provide the Municipality with
knowledge to make informed decisions about flooding and flood
mitigation approaches.

Implement green development standards that
align with the Whitby Green Standard and
Toronto Green Standard to better than code
building standards.
Actions 1.26, 1.27, 1.28 provide direction to advance the
implementation of the Priority Green Clarington – Green
Development Framework, endorsed by Council on December 14,
2015. One aspect of implementing Clarington’s Green Development
Framework will be to review updates to best practices in Ontario and
Durham Region. The green development framework is being
incorporated into the 11 Secondary Plans underway. No changes are
recommended to these actions.
Limit the use of salt on trails near vulnerable
natural areas.
Trail maintenance is not an issue that deals directly with climate
change. The use of salt in vulnerable areas can be addressed
though Public Works’ trail maintenance policies. No plan changes
are recommended.
Align the renewal of the CCCAP with the
municipal election cycle.
The Municipality needs to continue to undertake work to respond to
climate change, reduce energy consumption and costs, and limit
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a part of its ongoing
operations. All actions that require funding will be included in the
annual budget cycle by each department. Council will have the
opportunity to review and provide feedback on climate actions
annually. No change is recommended to the CCCAP to revise the 5-
year planning timeframe and annual frequency for Council updates.
Include protection of the natural environment
into the plan.
The CCCAP contains a goal category dedicated to protecting
ecosystems and biodiversity. All actions contained within the plan
included environmental protection as a consideration when selecting
actions to respond to climate change. The Municipality’s Official Plan
and Zoning By-law are instruments to protect environment. No
changes to the plan are recommended.

Draft CCCAP Comments Summary Staff Response
Create partnerships to increase the
effectiveness of implementing this CCCAP
The CCCAP recommends creating partnerships to expand municipal
tree planting programs and partnerships to include urban and rural
tree planting on public and private properties. The Plan also
recommends establishing partnerships with organizations with
facilities that could be used as cooling centres during summer
heatwaves. The Plan recommends seeking cost-sharing
partnerships to increase the effectiveness of action implementation.
The Plan also recommends the establishment partnerships with
businesses, community organizations and government agencies in
its efforts to successfully implement this plan. No changes to the
CCCAP related to partnerships are recommended
Works could construct road bumps to slow traffic
and discourage outsider car users, reducing
pollution in local neighborhoods.
Community air quality and GHG emissions from vehicles in
residential neighborhoods is addressed by the Durham community
Energy Plan. Corporate Vehicle emissions are addressed in the
CCCAP. No changes to the plan in the CCCAP related to community
vehicle emissions are recommended.
Reference to the SENES study Climate
projections in the CCCAP is incorrect.
Figure 6. of the CCCAP includes an incorrect reference to the
SENES climate trends report. The climate projection data used in
this plan originated from the OCC’s Guide to Conducting a Climate
Change Analysis at the Local Scale: Lessons Learned from Durham
Region (2020). Climate modeling used the North American
Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (NA-
CORDEX) ensemble model. Figure 6 was of the CCCAP was
revised with the correct climate model reference.

Re: West Beach Rd. Clarington
To Whom It May Concern:
We are writing to request the creation of a paved shoulder on West Beach Rd and that it
be cleared of snow.
We have recently moved to the Cove Rd section of Port Darlington. This is a lovely
community and the gravel paths through the adjacent conservation area are wonderful.
They are, however, di cult to navigate when there is ice and snow. The road is the
only way that the sidewalks to the east along East Shore Drive can be accessed. There
are no sidewalks up until that point.
We have witnessed and experienced a signi cant risk associated with cycling, walking,
or running along the West Beach Road from its origin at Port Darlington Road to the
start of Cove Road (see attached photos). Tra c moves very quickly along this stretch.
There is no shoulder, the road is narrow, there is a sharp turn and there are no street
lights for the most part.
Snow narrows the space even further and creates more of a risk. For those with dogs
or children in strollers, it is even more dangerous. For those who are disabled, it is
very treacherous. As physicians, we view this as a high risk situation that needs to be
addressed.
We ask you to consider widening West Beach Rd with the creation of paved shoulders
that are kept clear of snow in the winter. It is a short stretch and should not be too
costly but could be life saving.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Lori Moore

Dear Mayor and Members of Council
Re: Draft Corporate Climate Action Plan
File: PLN 17.25.9
I start by thanking Council and staff for their response to my 2020 budget delegation on
electric vehicles and the policy that you have implemented to purchase electric vehicles and
charging stations. I understand that the Building Division will be getting 6 new electric vehicles
in their fleet in 2021.
I also congratulate staff and Planning and Development Committee on developing draft
Corporate Climate Change Plan. It was a process that was resisted internally in the
Municipality for far too long. The Municipality is way behind in addressing the climate crisis.
The fact that all Departments were able to come together to produce this Plan is a testament to
the much needed change.
Setting the Target
Under this Plan, Clarington’s target for reducing corporate emissions is 35% below the 2018
target. The target under the Paris agreement, Ontario’s Climate Change is 30% below the
2005 emissions so it is consistent.
Given that the initial steps will be the easiest low-hanging fruit and that we are now seeing the
impact of climate change much earlier than predicted, I would preferred to have seen a much
bolder municipal target in the earlier years as we move to net zero by 2050. The Paris Accord
was signed in 2015, a six years later we haven’t even started. Every year delayed requires
greater effort and greater expense in the remaining years. As you know carbon pollution in the
atmosphere is cumulative and already has set in unavoidable changes to destabilize our
climate..
Even so, the target set is reasonable and can be accomplished with the focused attention of
the Municipality. Council will have to shed 176 tonnes of carbon pollution each and every
year from 2022 to 2029 budget years. That will not be easy in a high growth municipality.
Funding the Plan
In listening to the Committee meeting I noticed that there was some concern by Council about
the costs of the Corporate Climate Action Plan and an expectation that it would yield some
immediate savings. This is a long term investment. Many of the Adaptation expenses to
address extreme weather are already built in by virtue of the last 120 years of carbon pollution.
It simply will cost more.
You are now budgeting for additional taxes to fund emergency expenditures. Everyone is
experiencing this one way or another. My house insurance increased by 40% this year to
adjust for losses from major weather events like flooding and the Fort McMurray fire with
insurance losses of over $9 billion.
Mitigation is the key part to your successful climate action. It begins with recognizing that
there are costs to inaction, many of which play out on the national and international stage as
parts of the planet become uninhabitable and we see the greatest mass migration since World
War 2. But the cost of inaction occurs at the municipal level when the lack of investment in
energy conservation projects yields higher operating costs over the long term, to the benefit of
utility corporations and not Clarington taxpayers.
Page 45
Whether or not this happens, expenditure avoidance has to be a key part of your long term
financial strategy. Conserving energy is key, particularly conserving the use fossil fuels.
Utilizing renewable energy, or more significantly by producing your own energy through solar
panels or geothermal heating, can minimize long term operating costs (which incidentally
included distribution charges and GST).
While municipalities are not currently subject to the carbon tax, it is a distinct possibility in the
future. The 4,039 tonnes of carbon pollution that the Municipality emitted in 2018 would result
in the Municipality paying over $200,000 in carbon taxes in 2022.
The Federal government has announced that it will continue to raise the carbon tax to $170 a
tonne by 2030. If Clarington were to emit the same carbon pollution in 2030, the Municipality
would be paying almost $700,000 annually in Federal carbon taxes at that time. If applicable
to municipalities, Clarington would pay almost $4 million in carbon taxes over 9 years
Once the Supreme Court rules on the current appeals, a carbon tax on municipalities would be
a strong incentive to the municipal sector to take action with the tax itself being a source for
funding climate action initiatives.
Cost avoidance and long term investment carbon reduction strategies need to be an important
part of the budget cycle. To this end, prior to Council’s consideration of a budget every year,
you should receive a report on carbon emissions for the previous year and the proposed
reductions through projects in the current year’s budget. A carbon budget and financial budget
should go hand-in-hand.
Think Responsibly of the Long Term Interests of the Municipality
In 2008, Clarington was getting ready to start the construction of the Newcastle Branch of the
Library. One of the “literal” ground-breaking elements at that time was to heat the building with
geothermal heating. That element was cut to meet the capital budget. So instead, for the last
13 years and many more to come, Clarington has been paying steadily climbing utility bills to
heat the building with fossil fuels. What a short-sighted decision that continues to haunt your
budget year after year!
Similarly, in 2014/2015, the Alan Strike Aquatic Centre was refurbished. It is the fifth largest
carbon polluting building that the Municipality operates. While some energy conservation
measures were included, insufficient funds were set aside for energy conservation and carbon
reduction measures. Thus this building was targeted in the Energy Conservation and Demand
Management Plan of 2019 as one of the early projects to be completed in 2020 (see below).
Staff and Council need to think better about capital infrastructure investments. If budget
restraints in one year don’t allow the incorporation of energy conservation measures, hold off
year until you can, because lack of investment at the capital project stage can lead to ongoing
operating costs and the need for future refurbishment to meet the Climate Action Plan.
Don’t sweat the small stuff
There is lots to critique in this Plan but mostly it’s the small stuff. There are too many action
items; 86 of the action items focus on adaptation; some of the action items are community-
oriented and not part of the Municipality’s carbon budget. But on a positive note, what I see is
that staff from all Departments want to contribute ideas and address the climate crisis.
Members of council clutched their pearls because “SENES” appeared in a slide, conflated the
York/Durham incinerator with municipal action , were worried that Hydro One has still not
recognized a new rate for LED lights. These are not germane questions.
if you were going to critique staff, question them on:
•How are we going to do this?
Page 46
•What projects are you planning for 2022 that will reduce our CO2e pollution by 176 tonnes?
•Which building should we retrofit first?
The constant bickering at Council causes staff to be timid and hesitate bringing forward bold
solutions. We cannot afford to be timid at this time. As Sir Richard Attenborough recently told
British parliamentarians “you cannot be bold enough“.
Will action follow words?
As one who has been involved in a few “plans” over my time, the Climate Action Plan cannot
sit on the shelf. In 2019 Council approved a five year Energy Conservation and Demand Plan
(ECDMP) for the years of 2019 to 2024. It contained 44 action items of energy conservation
measures to be taken in buildings for the following years:
2019 8 action items
2020 14 action items
2021 9 action items
2022 2 action items
2923 5 action items
2024 6 action items
It would result in a 7% reduction in electricity consumption, and 3 % reduction in natural gas
consumption and a 4 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
To my understanding, not one single item has been undertaken or budgeted for. How
can this be?
The five year program of ECDMP shows a total savings of 126 tCO2e between 2019 and 2024.
This is the equivalent of 25 tCO2e per year. While never implemented, this five year plan is not
even equal to what you need to do in one year to meet your carbon budget. When the CCAP
says to “Expedite” the implementation of the ECDMP, this has to be the very definition of
understatement.
If the 2019 ECDMPP has not been acted upon by Council, is there any hope for the Corporate
Climate Action Plan?
Are you ready to “Build Back Better”?
The federal and provincial governments are promising recovery funds to get the economy out
of the covid crisis. In order to meet federal GHG reduction targets, one can anticipate that
retrofit programs will be an important part of the economic recovery process and to meet the
countrywide emission targets, I would expect to see funding for major building retrofits. Is
Clarington ready to go with a major retrofit project?
Just Do It
While I am a fan of plans, I also want to see action. Last year you moved on greening the fleet
before the plan. Don’t get lost in the 125 action items.
There are three top things to do right away:
1.Implement the Energy Management Software (EMS) system.
This will allow you to track carbon emissions and and energy costs in real time. You will
know how your systems are performing, make course corrections, plan for specific
retrofits and measure their impact.
Page 47
2.Retrofit and recommission high priority Buildings
Buildings are your biggest source of the Corporation’s GHG pollution (72%). The top
five polluting buildings in order are: South Courtice Complex (575 tonnes annually),
Diane Hamre Complex (496 tonnes annually), G.B. Rickard Complex (385 tonnes
annually), Alan Strike Aquatic Centre (315 tonnes annually) and the Municipal
Administration Centre (245 tonnes annually). Don’t just think of these buildings as
energy consuming entities but reimagine them as power plants producing more energy
than they consume. Get to work on those five buildings and you will make significant
strides.
3.Continue to electrify your fleet as quickly as possible
In the last two years Council has taken modest steps toward greening your fleet with
electric vehicles on one of the greenest grids in the country. Consider now being your
own electricity producer so that with solar panels and storage systems, you can fuel
your electric vehicles and no longer have to pay distribution and GST charges on
electricity.
Council has many issues on its plate but the Corporate Climate Action Plan cannot be
relegated to the back of the bus. Be laser focussed on getting the Climate Action Plan
implemented. Don’t let this Plan sit on a shelf. Push your staff to get it done. Empower your
staff to get it done. Resource your staff to get it done.
Thank you for time and listening to me once again.

5. Review Draft Statement on Symbols of Hate
On December 14, 2020, in response to the Committee’s recommendation, Clarington
Council made the following resolution (#GG-469-20):
That the Mayor and Members of Council of the Municipality of Clarington, in
partnership with Clarington’s Diversity Advisory Committee, release an Official
Statement condemning the display of symbols of hate in our community; and
That the Clarington Diversity Advisory Committee's request to prohibit public display
of hate symbols be forwarded to the newly formed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Group at the Region of Durham, for their comments.
Basia Radomski, Manager of Communications, was present to hear the thoughts and
opinions of the Committee who provided input on the joint statement.
The Committee supports the spirit of the statement; however, they would like to see
actionable items included to add weight to the message. Members suggested that
the intent is critical given the severity of the situation. The statement should address
why the statement is being issued and should be action-oriented and include a
timeline of activities.
Moved by Dione Valentine; seconded by Lyndsay Riddoch
That the draft statement that condemns symbols of hate in our community be referred
back to Council for further discussion and consideration to include associated action
items to support the message such as amending the sign by-law to include the
prohibition of symbols of hate.

On January 18, 2021 Council passed the By-law 2021-0015 to amend the
designation By-law 2014-084 to correct the technical description of the property to
align the by-law with the configuration of 210 King Avenue W. as it currently
exists.
Committee members inquired as to whether the properties are located within the
downtown Newcastle Community Improvement Project area, as well as if the
amendment to the designation By-law affects the existing listing of the property on
the Canada’s Historic Sites registry. Staff will confirm.
6.4 Belmont House 302 Given Road)
Committee members discussed a railing proposed by the applicants rehabilitating
the Belmont House. The railing is proposed to replace the existing railing along the
top of the front verandah. Committee members generally agreed the proposed
railing was attractive and relatively sympathetic to the Belmont House, particularly
so as it appears to resemble the railing that would have been on the original
Belmont House that was lost to fire in 1898.
V. Suppan updated Committee members on his correspondence with Prof. Fred
Graham to determine the location of the artesian well. Information provided

locating the artesian well.

designated heritage features, staff has sent a letter to the property owner inviting

6.6 Fletcher Tree
No update for this standing agenda item.
6.7 Ontario Barn Preservation Letter
The Ontario Barn Preservation sent a letter to municipalities in Ontario identifying
an issue whereby historic barns are being demolished as part of applications to
sever surplus farm dwellings, contributing to a loss of cultural heritage and rural
character. The Heritage Committee discussed the matter at its October 20, 2020
meeting, and referred the letter to the Agricultural Advisory Committee of
Clarington for comment. The Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington
discussed the matter at the November 2020 meeting, and expressed appreciation
for the value of historical barns to the rural landscape, they are mindful of the
function of barns as infrastructure to facilitate farm production. Farming and the
needs of agricultural operations and operating parameters have changed over
time. Barn replacements may be necessary to maintain farm viability. Continuing
to repair and maintain a barn that is no longer serving its purpose as part of the
agricultural operation is a costly expense for the business.
Heritage Committee members received the comments.
7 Correspondence and Council Referrals: None
8 Reports from other Committees
8.1 Bowmanville, Newcastle, and Orono CIPs – The Community Improvement Plan
Liaison Groups met in November 2020. There has been relatively low interest in

The Annual Report on the CIP Programs (PSD-020-057) was presented to Council
in December 2020. Staff presented the Municipality’s COVID-19 Community
Improvement Plan (CIP).
This year patios provided an opportunity for restaurants to offer sit-down dining
amid the ongoing pandemic. The patio program was modified to accommodate
COVID-19-related patios on a temporary basis; several restaurants took
advantage of this opportunity. The Annual Report for the Seasonal Sidewalk Patio
Program will be presented to Council in January 2021.
The public art projects funded through Province’s Main Street Revitalization
program were installed in each of the Bowmanville, Newcastle, Courtice, and
Orono downtowns throughout the summer and fall of 2020. A walking tour is being

3. Delegation
3.1. Delegation of Lori Moore and Paul Slavchenko regarding conditions for
runners and cyclists along West Beach Road
Recently moved to Port Darlington community and learned there is limited
access to Darlington Beach West Community. Use West Beach Rd, which
is narrow and used frequently making it difficult to run, walk, cycle, etc.
CLOCA owns the land to the north and there is a trail, but it becomes icy in
the winter. Requesting a paved shoulder along West Beach Rd. and that it
be cleared of snow in the winter. Not considering Cove Rd. Committee
Member agrees this would be beneficial for active transportation uses.

Committee Chair indicated to the delegation that the Committee can make
recommendations to Council, but cannot make any commitments on behalf
of Council. The delegation will be advised of the outcome.
4. Discussion Items
4.1. Committee composition
Reminder for Committee to vote on motions.
June Gallagher, Municipal Clerk, reminded the Committee that their Terms
of Reference (TOR) currently indicated the committee is composed of “up to
10 people”. This needs to be revised to ensure we can define a quorum.
Moved by Jim Boate. Seconded by Jerry Petryshyn
That the Committee recommends to Council that the Terms of Reference
be revised such that the Committee composition is a minimum of 8 and a
maximum of 10 community members in addition to the Member of Council
representative.
Carried
When seeking new members, the Committee were reminded that they
cannot discriminate based on age, gender, family status, etc. The
Committee can, however, request a “youth” member and/or members with a
certain skill set or experience.
4.2. Informal meetings
Ms. Gallagher reminded Committee members that they can have additional
meetings beyond the scheduled meetings so long as they are not ‘furthering
business’ – for example a roadside cleanup. She explained that this should
be handled with sub-committees but they would need to directly relate to
the task of the sub-committee, as defined the larger Committee. As you are
not furthering business, an agenda and minutes should not be necessary.
Committee members will be asked for Agenda items in advance of
meetings.
The Committee had a general discussion about the possibility of inviting the
Clarington representative on the Durham Active Transportation Committee
to also be a member on the ATSR to provide overlap. Ms. Gallagher has
this individual’s contact information and will approach them about joining the
ATSR.
4.3. Term of Committee members
Page 69
Clarington Active Transportation Committee Minutes of January 14, 2021

Ms. Gallagher reminded the Members that the Committee’s TOR states that
appointments run concurrent with the term of Council, which is four years.
However, the Council resolution #C-109-18 and appointment letter stated a
term ending December 31, 2020, which is a two-year term. The Committee
was asked to determine the length of an appointment.
Moved by Jim Boate. Seconded by Bart Hawkins Kreps
That the Committee recommends to Council that the four-year term,
concurrent with the term of Council, be confirmed;
That no staggering take place; and
That the current Committee members’ appointment be extended to 2022.
Carried
4.4. Resignation of Chair
Angela Bramley tendered her resignation as Chair and member of the
ATSR Committee as of December 23, 2020.
As the Vice Chair, Rick Stockman will assume the duties of the Chair until
the election of a new Chair can take place.
The Committee was reminded that Frank Barter also tendered his
resignation as member of the ATSR Committee as of November 13, 2020.
4.5. Election of Chair and Vice Chair
Elections will take place during the next meeting, after Council’s decision
regarding the term of Committee members. At that time, Councillor Jones
will preside over the appointment of the new executive.
4.6. Committee hosting/organizing events
The ATSR Committee is considered a Committee of Council and therefore
has liability coverage under the Municipality’s insurance when hosting
events. Note: There are situations where an ATSR Committee member
could be personally liable if they acted outside of their scope, authority or
were negligent. Coverage does not include injury to a committee member.
Events must be approved by the Director of Financial Services.
4.7. Safe roads and traffic considerations
Councillors have discussed the possibility of forming a committee to
address traffic and safety concerns as it’s a prevalent topic among
residents. The Committee was asked if they would be interested in taking
Page 70
Clarington Active Transportation Committee Minutes of January 14, 2021

on a traffic focus such as liaising with the Durham Regional Police Service
(DRPS) and discussing traffic, volume, speed and motor vehicle accident
issues. Committee members felt that traffic related matters are a big issue
and would require considerable time and resources that this committee
does not have. Members would prefer to remain focused on active
transportation and making roads safe for this purpose. Staff also advised
that the Municipality is involved in a number of traffic related committees
and initiatives including:
Vision Zero initiative led by the Region and incudes representation
from all Durham Municipalities, DRPS and outside agencies (e.g.
Public Health)
Active and Sustainable School Travel Committee
OPG Traffic Management Working Group
Clarington Staff direct consult with DRPS Traffic Coordinator quarterly
Resident direct staff contact with good, informative, and detailed
response times
Council delegations
And other various traffic planning working groups e.g. MTO’s GGH -
TAC
If another committee is formed, it is suggested it not duplicate any of the
matters already covered through the above efforts.
Moved by Jim Boate. Seconded by Arnold Mostert
Whereas there are several other Committees and organizations covering
these issues;
And whereas the Active Transportation and Safe Roads Advisory
Committee has a full mandate,
The Committee recommends to Council that there is not a need to take on
further mandate regarding traffic and speed issues.
Carried
4.8. Reduced speed limits in Clarington
In response to delegations heard in November 2020, Council passed a
motion on Nov 23, 2020 to decrease the speed limit to 40 km/hr on all
Clarington Collector B roads. The motion will be discussed at Council in
February 2021. Collector roads provide connections between Local roads
within the residential / commercial areas and the Arterial road system.
Compared to Arterial roadways, Collector roads generally carry lower traffic
volumes and have lower speed limits. Collector roads provide a shared

purpose of property access and increased traffic movement when
compared to the Local roads.
4.9. Type of MUP for Brookhill secondary plan
Determined there will be two major cross roads at the center of this
development. Collector roads will be bike friendly. Committee member(s)
has submitted input and is comfortable with the secondary plan.
Committee member noticed an incomplete trail east of Green Rd. and north
of Brookhill Blvd. Staff indicated this is a short trail that will be behind some
of the future ravine lots as part of the subdivision.
4.10. Bidirectional pathways/MUP on HWY 2
Members would like to see a MUP though the commercial area on HWY 2,
from Boswell Dr. to RR 57. Cycling volume may currently seem low as it is
difficult to cycle here due to poor active transportation infrastructure. Staff
indicated that it would be difficult and costly to make AT improvements to
this section of HWY 2. Some improvements can be made, however, the
best opportunity would be presented when substantial reconstruction of the
sidewalk is needed. In the meantime, AT infrastructure is being
implemented on lower volume roads that are currently being constructed.
The Region is also reconstructing the intersection of RR 57 and HWY 2,
which includes a MUP on the west side of RR 57 from Baseline Rd. to
Stevens Rd. in the immediate future with an eventual connection to
Longworth Avenue and Nash Road. A MUP will also be constructed from
RR 57 to Roenigk Dr. as part of the intersection reconstruction.
Staff confirmed the MUP on HWY 2 from RR 57 to Roenigk Dr. is planned
to be bi-directional.
4.11. Bidirectional pathway on Taunton
Committee member suggested constructing a bidirectional MUP on the
south side of Taunton Rd. from Solina Rd. to the food truck alley as it’s a
good destination for cyclists. Staff indicated that the Region is improving
Taunton Rd. from Townline Rd. to RR 57, which includes a 1.5m wide
paved shoulder. The shoulder will not be designated as a bike lane but can
be used as such. The specific segment east of Solina Rd. is targeted for
construction in 2022. A 3.0m wide MUP would be challenging due to the
road maintaining a rural cross section with roadside ditches and the existing
higher order aerial hydro line in the south boulevard. Committee member
would have to reach out to the Region to inquire about more immediate
options.
4.12. AT connection plans for two new Go stations
Page 72
Clarington Active Transportation Committee Minutes of January 14, 2021
6
The Region is considering a MUP on Courtice Rd. from Nash Rd..
terminating at the Go Train Station and a MUP on Clarington Blvd in
Bowmanville. The South-East Courtice secondary plan is currently under
development, but there are plans for AT infrastructure to access future Go
Station off Trulls Rd. Bowmanville will have AT access from Aspen Springs
Dr and RR 57.
4.13. Newcastle pedestrian/cyclist tunnel etiquette
Received a concern about the Mill St., tunnel under CN rail line on south
side. Committee member suggests installing a mirror so cyclists and
pedestrians can see into the tunnel. Cycling clubs have reached out to their
members to remind them to ring their bell, or otherwise note their presence
in situations like this. Members would like to speak with the new Landscape
Architect and/or Traffic Supervisor when hired to establish trail etiquette
signage that can be posted throughout Clarington. Will bring examples
forward.
4.14. Phair/Sandringham curb cut
This is a good east-west cycling route. Anticipate a big increase of traffic
when the Uplands development is built. Staff do not recommend a curb cut
here as it would be an unexpected introduction of traffic onto a collector
road. Most likely solution is a MUP from Phair Ave. to Strathallan Dr. Staff
will need undertaking a video count review of the location and road corrido r
in spring/summer 2021.
4.15. Meadoway
Initially wanted to bring Meadoway trail into Clarington, however after
further investigation, it would not be a viable project mainly because many
of the lands under hydro corridors are already rented, Clarington also doe s
not currently have the population to support it. Something to review again in
the future.
4.16. West Beach Road
Committee member agreed with the delegation’s opinion that a paved
shoulder would be beneficial on West Beach Rd. The curve in the road
close to the Water Front Trail (WFT) is a particular problem area.
Committee member suggested sharrows, signage, solar powered flashing
lights, etc might be beneficial. A Committee member has received
complaints that this area has gotten a lot busier and is growing steadily
making volume and speed of traffic concerning. The area should have a
variety of traffic calming and traffic safety measures implemented. Suggest
Clarington staff do a study of the options available. A Committee member
stated that other areas/trails in Clarington should be prioritized over this
area. Question about whether paved shoulders would promote cars parking
Page 73
Clarington Active Transportation Committee Minutes of January 14, 2021
7
here and blocking a bike’s path. Suggested that the CLOCA lands could be
used as a trial.
Staff indicated that there is a segment of the WFT trail that will be paved
soon. Some initial concerns with road widening include width of current
bridge, acquiring land that is not currently owned by the Municipality (e.g.,
CLOCA lands) and relocation of hydro poles. Would come to be an
expensive project for the volume usage. Projects must be prioritized. Also
note that narrower roads encourage lower seeds. Some options staff can
look into include bike friendly signage, approaching CLOCA to
create/expand a parking facility and review the road more closely and look
at other potential options. Radar Message Boards (RMBs) had been
deployed and no concerns were noted. Staff will add this location to our
RMB deployment list to collect updated data and will move location of RMB
placement.
Should the Committee wish to bring this to Council, the next step would be
for the Committee to put forward a motion and staff to submit a memo to
Council for their consideration.
Moved by Bart Hawkins Krep. Seconded by Jim Boate.
That the delegation of Ms. Moore and Mr. Slavchenko, regarding the cycling
and pedestrian safety of West Beach Road be received; and
That the Committee recommend to Council that Staff be directed to prepare
a report to address the concerns to provide safe pedestrian and cycling
access to the West Beach Road area, including options.
Carried (with one abstention)
4.17. Notification of Community Planning and Studies
When Planning releases a study or notice that relates to active
transportation, the Committee would like to be notified so they can review
and provide input. For example, the Port Hope nuclear waste initiative,
Nichols Rd.
The Planning and Development Service representative will bring any
relevant Planning related notices to the attention of the Committee.
4.18. Waterfront Trail and Green Belt Trail connection
Committee member indicated that there are several routes connecting the
WFT to Green Belt Trail. Committee member(s) suggested a couple routes
for Clarington’s connection to promote cycle tourism. Would like to see the
selected route as a signed route.
Page 74

4.19. Nash Road Widening and intersection of Nash Rd . and Trulls Rd.
Committee member commented that both Nash Rd. and Trulls Rd. have
bike lanes that terminate before the intersection and because of lack of
markings/signage, this interstation is unsafe for cyclists. Staff indicated this
intersection is too narrow to include a buffer, however signage indicating
cycle lane termination and share the road might be helpful. Staff will review.
4.20. Trail Project Updates
Sent design to committee about widening Nash Rd. from Hancock Rd. to
Solina Rd. Construction expected to be complete by Fall 2021. Committee
member reviewed design and thought section looked good.
The Region will be reconstructing and urbanizing Liberty St south of
Concession 3. The intersection of Liberty St and Concession 3 will be a
roundabout. The Region will host a public meeting within the next few
weeks.
A MUP connection will be constructed between Rhonda Park and the
affordable housing building on RR 57 in 2021.
The contract has been awarded for the Bowmanville Creek Valley trail
extension from Baseline Rd. to the WFT. Construction is expected to start in
spring 2021.
The Toyota Trail extension is going out for tender in winter 2021 with goal to
start construction in summer 2021.
Farewell Creek Phase 2A extension construction is planned for summer
2021. Staff are still working with Council and CLOCA to determine the route
for Phase 2B.
Darlington Blvd. will be widened to accommodate in-road cycling lanes from
Foxhunt Trail to HWY 2.
Waiting on developer to complete work on Cotton St. before we can move
forward with Soper Creek Trail Phase 3.
The Active Transportation Master Plan has not yet been started. Will have
to scope the study to the budget we have. Staff will use any existing studies
to form the basis of the ATMP.
5. Other Business
5.1. Staff to send a letter to Angela Bramley on behalf of the Committee to thank
her for her service as Chair.

7. Ralph Walton, Regional Clerk/Director of Legislative Services, Region
of Durham, Regarding Regulatory Framework to Manage the
Operations of Anaerobic Digestion Facilities
That the following resolution from Ralph Walton, Regional Clerk/Director of
Legislative Services, Region of Durham, regarding Regulatory Framework to
Manage the Operations of Anaerobic Digestion Facilities, be endorsed by the
Municipality of Clarington and further request the MECP to ensure that a regulatory
framework including land use planning considerations also include an assessment
of economic impact and that the impacts to the host community are property
mitigated:
Whereas the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks has
recently released draft revisions to the Food and Organic Waste Policy
Statement;
And Whereas, this policy requires diversion targets to be met for food and
organic waste in Ontario;
And Whereas, anaerobic digestion is one technology that is available to
assist in meeting these regulatory requirements;
And Whereas, the capture of methane biogas for conversion into renewable
natural gas or other forms of energy will be a model for the future to create a
carbon neutral resource from the residential organics stream and help
mitigate the current climate crisis if properly regulated, developed and
managed;
And Whereas, fulsome Provincial oversight and regulations are required to
manage the operation of anaerobic digestion facilities to ensure that any
potential impacts on neighbouring properties, including but not limited to
odour, noise and traffic, are mitigated;
And Whereas, fulsome Provincial oversight and regulations are required to
manage the impact on the environment including impacts associated with
emissions to air, soil, surface water and groundwater;
And Whereas, as an emerging industry, numerous projects have been
proposed in a short timeframe within the Province, including within the
Regional Municipality of Durham;
Page 85
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report PDR-003-21
And Whereas, it is important to ensure that public sector anaerobic digestion
facilities and private sector anaerobic digestion facilities are evaluated
against a common regulatory framework to ensure a consistent approach;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the Regional Municipality of
Durham requests the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks
to develop a regulatory framework to manage the operation of anaerobic
digestion facilities, whether public sector or private sector owned and
operated, and apply a consistent approach across the Province in order to
ensure host communities of these facilities are protected from land use
planning and environmental impacts;
That the regulatory framework apply equally to public sector anaerobic
digestion facilities and private sector anaerobic digestion facilities;
That the regulatory framework address land use planning matters, such as,
but not limited to, odour, noise and traffic;
That the regulatory framework address environmental matters, such as, but
not limited to, emissions to air, soil, surface water and groundwater and that
the impacts are properly mitigated; and
That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to all Durham Area MPP’s and all
Durham area municipalities.
That the Region of Durham explain to the Municipality of Clarington how Clarington
was protected from land use planning and environmental impact.

Ontario where older adults live independently but in aggregate, in small homes, trailers
or apartment-style buildings;
Whereas many older adult lifestyle community residents rely on daily visits by outside
workers such as personal support workers and house cleaners, putting them at a
greater risk contracting COVID-19;
Whereas fifty-two per cent of old adult lifestyle community residents in Ontario are
individuals age seventy years old and older;
Whereas older adults aged sixty-five to eighty-four years old account of the majority of
COVID-19 related deaths in Canada, and those aged forty-five years old and older are
89% to 93% more likely to die with COVID if they have pre-existing conditions;
Whereas the Province of Ontario plans to vaccinate 1.2 million seniors and caregivers
as part of Phase 1 in March, 2021; and
Whereas the Provincial government announced that Phase 1 included “seniors living in
congregate” but this does not include seniors living older adult lifestyle communities;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved:
That the Province acknowledges that older adult lifestyle communities are in fact,
“congregations” of seniors as per the criterion for Phase 1 administration of the
COVID-19 vaccine and such, older adult lifestyle community residents should be
vaccinated as part of Phase 1;
That the Municipality of Clarington supports the Wilmot Creek Homeowner’s
Association request that the Wilmot Creek Wheelhouse be used for
administration of the vaccine as part of Phase 1 in Clarington; and
That this Motion be circulated to the Durham Region Health and Social Services
Committee, MPP for Durham Lindsay Park, Durham area Municipalities, AMO,
and the Canadian Association for Retired Persons.
