Phase 2B Status Update (Unfinished Business Item 14.1)
Chris and Melanie Barry advised that they would not be going forward with their
delegation as Ian Soutter would be speaking on their behalf.
8.2 Mary Ann Muizelaar regarding Report LGS-012-21, Regulation of On-farm
Special Events (Item 2 of the General Government Committee Report)
Mary Ann Muizelaar was present by electronic means regarding Report
LGS-012-21, regulation of On-farm Special Events (Item 2 of the General
Government Committee Report). She explained that she was going to address
on-farm uses and, more specifically, wedding events. Ms. Muizelaar noted she
will be referring to a Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) Report dated July 25,
2018 and Staff Report LGS-012-21. She stated that it is the responsibility of the
Municipality of Clarington to ensure that a Staff Recommended Zoning By-law
(SRZBL) is implemented and enforceable. Ms. Muizelaar added that the SRZBL
should have clear language and scope with respect to on-farm special events
which protect the interests of the farmers and the local residents. She expressed
her concern that the recommendation for a draft zoning by-law to regulate on-farm
special events was not approved and believes there needs to be enforceable
regulations in place to ensure compliance and that the rural residents do not
become responsible to regulate these events by way of a by-law complaint. Ms.
Muizelaar feels that the staff report requires more clarification as it identifies two
interests including the property owners wanting diversified uses and the residents
who oppose these uses. She explained that the LPAT Report stated there was a
concern with the regulation of these event and at no time did any of the participant
object to occasional events on site or the proposed meat processing use. Ms.
Muizelaar explained that the Morgan's Road application, which was
Page 6

Council Minutes

recommended by Staff to be approved, did not consider the concerns of the rural
residents or align with Provincial Policy. She thanked the Members of Council for
denying this application as it allowed for a more thorough evaluation and an
opportunity to learn. Ms. Muizelaar highlighted sections of the LPAT Report
findings which resulted in LPAT not supporting the SRZBL. She expressed her
concern that the applicant, as noted in the LPAT Report was given considerable
leniency throughout the process which has many inconsistencies as noted in the
report. Ms. Muizelaar added that this application did not comply with the
regulatory framework or guidelines from other governing bodies.
Resolution # C-100-21
Moved by Councillor Anderson
Seconded by Councillor Hooper
That the delegation of Mary Ann Muizelaar be extended for an additional two
minutes.
Carried
She stated that the draft on-farm special events by-law was moving towards an
inclusive effective, regulatory framework which would protect both the farmers and
residents. Ms. Muizelaar asked why the process is being stopped, and no
changes are being proposed to the current site specific zoning by-law amendment
and site plan approval process. She stated the views of the residents have been
compiled within the draft by-law and in the LPAT Report. Ms. Muizelaar
concluded by asking the Members of Council to allow the process to continue as
recommended by LPAT and that new regulations be put in place for on-farm
special events. Ms. Muizelaar answered questions from the Members of Council.
8.3 Robert Clark, Clark Consulting, regarding Report LGS-012-21, Regulation of
On-farm Special Events (Item 2 of the General Government Committee
Report)
After registration it was determined that Mr. Clark previously spoke at the
March 8, 2021 General Government Committee meeting on the same matter and
he withdrew his delegation.
8.4 Ian Soutter regarding Report PWD-017-21, Farewell Creek Trail Phase 2B
Status Update (Unfinished Business Item 14.1)
Ian Soutter was present by electronic means regarding Report PWD-017-21,
Farewell Creek Trail Phase 2B Status Update (Unfinished Business Item 14.1).
He made a verbal and an electronic presentation. Mr. Soutter noted that he was
speaking on behalf of the six families on Pinedale Crescent and that they are
united on one recommendation. He noted they do not believe Phase 2B, as
outlined in the Staff Report, should be approved and they support 2B-3 as noted
in his PowerPoint as it meets the prime objectives of the trail which includes being
a nature path, less ecological damage, and the best for the residents. Mr. Soutter
highlighted the options for the trail in the Staff Report. He also suggested another
option which he identified as 2B-4 in his presentation which would be an alternate
Page 7

route to the staff report option. Mr. Soutter explained that Option 2B-3 follows a
level grade along the creek, is the least complicated, least expensive, most
accessible, does not go directly behind the properties and it addresses CLOCA's
concerns. He referred to photos from Grandview Street to the Phase 2A terminus
to illustrate where the proposed trail would be. Mr. Soutter also provided photos
of the Valley's 2000 trail to show the potential for access points that could be
added at a future date.
Resolution # C-101-21
Moved by Councillor Jones
Seconded by Councillor Neal
That the delegation of Ian Soutter be extended for an additional two minutes.
Carried
Mr. Soutter continued by raising the concern of security which he feels will be
increased by having a paved trail directly behind the properties on Pinedale
Crescent. He concluded by requesting that the option 2B-3 be pursued as it is the
safest and effective option. Mr. Soutter answered questions from the Members of
Council.

Mr. Humber provided a summary of the reports issued by arborist retained to
assess the red oak tree in summer 2020 after a large limb fell, damaging the
dwelling at 21 Beech Avenue. Mr. Humber also indicated the community’s long-
time connection with the tree, requesting the Committee consider its designation
and the Municipality’s consideration of remediation options provided in the
arborists’ reports to maintain and support the tree in order to ensure its continued
health and protection. Mr. Humber also invited Mr. and Mrs. Clermont to speak in
support of the request for the tree’s designation.
5.3 M. Clermont and D. Clermont Re: Red Oak Tree in front of 21 Beech Avenue
M. and D. Clermont spoke in support of the designation of the red oak tree as the
owners of 21 Beech Avenue and reiterated the community’s connection to the tree
they have witnessed since moving to the community.
Committee members thanked all the delegations for their presentations.
6 Business Arising
6.1 Red Oak Tree at 21 Beech Avenue
Committee members discussed the request for the tree to be designated under
Part IV of the Ontario Heritage in consideration of the information presented by the
delegations. Planning and Development Services staff confirmed the tree is
currently identified as a notable landscape feature in the Beech Avenue Heritage
Conservation District Plan (Beech Avenue HCD Plan) designated under Part V of
the Ontario Heritage Act. The Beech Avenue HCD Plan provides for the
maintenance of the tree, which may include its removal if warranted.
Committee members inquired whether a Part IV designation would enable the
access to the Heritage Incentive Grant program funding to help with required
upkeep and maintenance. Staff advised the HIG program is directed toward the
maintenance of buildings and structures. To include maintenance related to a
designated tree in the HIG Program would require a Council resolution.
Committee members also inquired about alternative funding opportunities to
support heritage trees, which staff will explore.
S. Brake, Director of Public Works, indicated staff recognizes the importance of
the red oak tree to the community and the Old Bowmanville neighbourhood. At this
time the matter is still under review. S. Brake communicated the need to do what
is best for the safety of the community and consider the risk involved with each
alternative proposed by the arborist assessment. Specifically, the large branches
that extend over the road and sidewalk are identified as requiring support and
posing a risk of failure in the next 5 years if not supported. Staff needs to consider
the possible mitigation measures and associated costs of each identified
alternative.
It was also noted staff is not immediately moving forward with a recommended
action, providing the Committee time to undertake further investigation of the
culture heritage value or interest of the tree in consideration of the request for

designation. Further, assessment of the Beech Avenue trees that informed the
Beech Avenue Heritage Conservation District Study at the time the Beech Avenue
HCD was established will be provided to Committee members for review.
6.2 Title Search Training
A Title Search Training Session will be held on March 27, 2021 in response to the

Status Reports/Updates:
Probus Hikes – Brian reported that an activity group associated with the Probus Club of
Clarington has scheduled two walks at SWNA this season. This information was shared to
illustrate the kind of usage that is being made of the Nature Area. Other members reported
that overall use has been noticeably higher during the past year.
Duffin’s Creek Wetlands March – Brian reported that he had participated ( as an individual, not
a representative of the Committee ) in this march held in Pickering on Saturday March 6th to
protest the pending construction of a warehouse complex on designated wetlands. He noted
that over 300 persons participated and that public support for the protest, as indicated by the
volume of supportive honking from passing vehicles, was very high.
Page 21
Contact with Canadian Wildlife Federation:
Brian reported that Leo had been contacted by a representative from the CWF about our
wildflower garden project after seeing an article about the project online. Leo referred the
individual to Brian who had a lengthy discussion by telephone . CWH has begun a new Right-of-
Way Habitat Restoration Project with a particular focus on using various rights-of-way as sites
for habitat restoration, primarily for monarch butterflies. CWF has partnered with Hydro One
and others to pursue this initiative. We were invited to share our experiences etc. with program
managers at the group’s annual workshop on Best Practices on April 6th. Brian has agreed to do
a brief presentation to the group at that time and noted that we are certainly gaining a lot of
positive coverage of our efforts at habitat restoration o ver the past few years.
Spring Cleanup Week:
Leo asked if the municipality was planning on holding its annual cleanup this spring. In recent
years, the residents of the Port of Newcastle and Bond Head, and our Committee ,have worked
together with the municipality on this effort. Leo suggested Saturday April 17 th, part of Earth
Week, as the preferred date. Ken Mercer advised that no formal cleanup is planned this year
but that the municipality could probably provide bags and gloves. Pickup of collected litter etc
would have to wait until the Monday following since staff are not on duty on weekends. After
considerable discussion, and understanding that covid has imposed certain limitations, it was
agreed that the event would be held as suggested as long as the appropriate public health
protocols were followed. This would mean limiting teams to individuals or family groupings,
appropriately spaced and timed. Leo and Ken agreed to work together on this event. Brian
offered to coordinate things at the SWNA site.
Terms of Reference for Committee:
This document had been sent out the day of our meeting so not all members had had time to
review it in detail. Most members had not seen any previous version of the document. After
some discussion, it was determined that it was actually identical to the previous version .
Although the document implied a somewhat more formal structure than has been our practice,
it was agreed that there are no specific changes required on our part. Brian noted that it would
have been preferable to have had the opportunity to provide input to the document.
Planning Chart of 2021/22:
At our last meeting, Kate had volunteered to map out our various projects and initiatives and to
tie them to some common themes based on previous/ongoing efforts around habitat
restoration, monarch tagging , use of I Naturalist etc with an emphasis on providing learning
and engagement opportunities for the public.. Kate walked the committee thought the chart
and considerable discussion took place around specific projects etc. referred to therein (notes
below ) She noted that the document is a work in progress and will be adjusted as we move
Page 22
through the year ahead. Brian thanked Kate for her work in putting all of this together in an
organized manner.
Interactive Signage Project – Healthy Communities Initiative:
Discussion too place concerning how to proceed with our interactive signage project and
whether or not to apply to the HCI program for funding assistance. A new intake has been
announced with an application deadline of early June, 2021. It was decided to proceed with a
less elaborate QR code approach as a way of assessing usage and interest and to apply for
funding even though costs should be relatively modest. Brian advised that committee member
Jocelyn Whalen, who had been our lead on this initiative, had notified him shortly before the
meeting that she would be resigning from the committee due to other commitments. Tom,
Patrick, Maggie and Kate are prepared to continue working on the project. Ken Mercer was
asked to connect Brian with the appropriate staff member/department . Brian has also
approached Councillor Traill about this and about what may be required in terms of
permissions from the municipality.
Dr. Sheila Colla presentation: this presentation on natïve bees by York University professor Dr.
Colla was originally intended to be a live event but has been deferred d ue to covid. The
committee will consider inviting Dr. Colla to do this presentation virtually. Some discussion with
the appropriate municipal staff /department may be required. Brian will investigate this and
will contact Dr. Colla again. Target time-frame is late April .
Ceremony re Pollinator Garden: it was suggested that we might wish to consider holding some
type of celebratory ceremony in early to mid-summer. This will be discussed further at future
meetings.
Spring Planting – scheduled for May 29:
Brian will connect with the supplier and funding source. It is understood that the planting may
not be a “ community event “ as it has been in the past because of covid limitations.
Other Business: with the pending resignation of member Jocelyn Whalen, the committee will
be in need of another member. Brian will speak to the Clerk’s office about this.

4 Symbols of Hate
(Refer to the
recommendations from
working group)
Not
started
Page 30
That Clarington Council, in recognition of the power that symbols can have on the
psychology and well-being of community members, request that the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) petition the Provincial government on behalf of Ontario
municipalities to enact legislation that would enable municipalities to make enforceable
decisions regarding symbols deemed unacceptable by the local community. Such
consideration to also include a review of statutes where hate speech and symbols may
be identified as illegal;
That the Municipality of Clarington, as a member of the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities (FCM), support the Town of Collingwood’s motion for FCM to advocate to
the Federal Government in the development of legislation that would clarify and
strengthen the definition of hate speech and symbols, including explicit recognition of
the psychological harm that can be caused by hateful symbols, and work with all levels
of government in addressing the root causes of hate speech;
And that this motion be forwarded to AMO and FCM as well as our local area Members
of Parliament and Members of Provincial Parliament for their information.
That the Diversity Advisory Committee, in partnership with staff, be directed to prepare
an anti-racism policy that would apply to all staff, Members of Council, and all visitors to
Municipal-owned facilities and spaces. The Anti-Racism Policy would make clear the
Municipality’s expectation of tolerance for those working at and using Municipal-owned
facilities and spaces. This Policy can be displayed at all facilities so that users are
aware of the expectations under the Policy and the consequences for not adhering to it.
That once these action items are approved for direction, the Mayor and Members of
Council of the Municipality of Clarington, in partnership with Clarington’s Diversity
Advisory Committee, release an Official Statement to share some context about this
issue and demonstrate how we are working together to promote a community where
every individual regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender identity or sexual orientation is
welcome and racism, discrimination, intolerance and the promotion of hatred through
symbols or statements have no place in our community.
Other action items the Committee will pursue:
Engage with the Region of Durham to discuss ways to consistently address
issues surrounding racism and discrimination, including symbols of hate, across
all municipalities in the region;
Engage with Durham Regional Police Services to better understand hate
symbols and hate activity and how they are addressed in our community; and
Engage with local school boards to see if there are programs in place within the
schools that could be adapted for community education on matters surrounding
bullying and hate activity.

18. Hall Board Funding during COVID-19
Whereas many hall boards have little to no bookings due to COVID-19 and are
struggling to cover the costs of utilities and PPE; and
Whereas even before COVID-19 many boards struggled to cover their utilities,
maintenance and snow removal costs, significantly deterring volunteerism and
contributing to low morale.
Now therefore be it resolved that Staff report back on eligibility criteria for hall
boards to apply for one-time funding from the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve Fund
(which would be supported by the Safe Restart funds we got from the Province) to
each hall in addition to the $3000.00 grant they have already received for an
amount to be determined per hall board on the basis of need to cover utilities, PPE
and other expenses for the 2021 year; and
That Staff report back on long-term funding options for hall boards with respect to
ongoing snow removal, utilities and maintenance where the hall boards may be
struggling financially in order to ensure the long-term viability of the local boards.
19. Playgrounds
Whereas there was extensive discussion during the 2021 budget about the status
of playgrounds across Clarington;
Whereas some older playgrounds in Clarington are in need of repairs and
upgrades;
Whereas there are innovative new options for playgrounds that include outdoor
gym equipment and ziplines which might be appropriate based on the character of
the neighbourhood and usage patterns; and
Whereas Council would like to ensure that the Municipality is providing safe and
accessible playground equipment for children;
Now therefore be it resolved that Staff conduct an assessment of all Clarington
playgrounds and report back to the General Government Committee in November
2021; and
That the assessment shall examine the state of all playgrounds with regard to the
following criteria: safety and accessibility; repairs and maintenance; the character of
neighbouring community, usage patterns, and innovation with respect to
equipment.

Re: Item 14.2, Unfinished Business on Council Agenda for April 12 with regard to
Report 2021-WR-5 DYEC Operations, Long-term Sampling System Update for
Dioxins & Furans
On April 6, 2021, at the Planning and Development Committee there were four delegations
by Durham residents and a presentation by Durham Region Staff regarding the above noted
Regional Report. One of the delegations did not specifically address the Region’s Report,
speaking instead in opposition to any expansion of the Region’s Energy from Waste facility
and proposed Pre-Sort and Anaerobic Digester planned by the Region to be sited next to
the Durham York Energy Centre.
Council requested that Staff prepare a draft letter (Attachment 1) to Durham Region to
address the request outlined in the delegates communications and PowerPoint
presentations. The letter is to “demand” the requested actions identified by the delegates be
taken in Resolution PD106-21.
In the final paragraph of the draft letter Staff have included a request that the minutes and
resolutions from EFW -WMAC go to Regional Council. This request was previously made by
Clarington Council and the Region denied the request; as noted in March 29 GGC agenda -
https://pub-clarington.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=22189.
If the requests in the draft letter to the Region are denied again, Council may then wish to
trigger the remedies set out in the Host Community Agreement to address disputes between
the Region and Clarington.
As background to the draft letter Staff are providing two additional attachments to this
memo. Attachment 2 provides relevant sections of the Host Community Agreement
between the Region and Clarington. Attachment 3 is and excerpt from PSD-064-16 as it
outlines the monitoring by the Region and Ministry of Environment, which has since been
renamed.

Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks. The report was requested to determine
whether and how an independent air quality expert could be retained by Clarington; Council
did not retain a consultant at that time. The reason for including the Report excerpt, being
Section 1.2 and 1.3 is to provide background on the air emissions monitoring that happens
at the Durham York Energy Centre.
Suggested Recommendation:
Clarington Council endorse the Letter to the Region by Resolution.
The resolution would then become an attachment to the letter.

April XX, 2021
Regional Chair John Henry and Councillors
The Regional Municipality of Durham Headquarters
605 Rossland Road East
Whitby, Ontario L1N 6A3
Dear Chair Henry and Regional Councillors
Re: Report 2021-WR-5 DYEC Operations, Long-term Sampling System Update
for Dioxins & Furans
On Tuesday, April 6, 2021, Clarington’s Planning and Development Committee heard
three delegations by Durham residents with regard to the above noted item. In addition,
Regional Staff, Commissioner Siopis and Mr. Anello, provided a presentation
addressing the same issue. While Clarington Council appreciated hearing the
delegations and having Regional Staff address the comments of the delegates, this was
a discussion that should have been occurring at the Regional Council table. In the
delegates letter to Chair and Regional Councillors regarding this matter, dated March
17, 2021, and their subsequent delegation to Regional Council on March 24, a request
was made for Regional staff to be directed “to respond in writing to the concerns
raised.” Report 2021-WR-5 was received for information by Regional Council on
March 24, 2021.
The partnership outlined in the Host Community Agreement (HCA) for the Durham York
Energy Centre (DYEC) was between the Region of Durham and Clarington and
included obligations for both parties. Amongst the obligations, and in particular
Section 3 are the operational requirements for emissions control and ongoing
monitoring.
Regional Council is well aware of the importance of air quality and the emissions to all
of Durham’s residents. Clarington relies on the competency and professionalism of
Durham Staff, their consultants, the peer review consultants, and the operator, as well
as the assurance of the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks oversight
regarding the performance requirements set out in the Environmental Compliance
Approval (ECA). The ECA requirements were built off of the Ontario Guideline A7
requirements for the control, monitoring and performance testing of incineration
systems, European Union standards outlined in the HCA and the approved
Environmental Assessment for the Energy from Waste Facility.

The long-term partnership outlined in the HCA is for the operational lifespan of the
DYEC. It has taken some five years for the calibration between the stack tests and
AMESA cartridge to render reliable monthly data regarding dioxins and furans. As
such, Clarington is formally requesting that the AMESA data, which we understand is
housed at the DYEC, be made available to the public. This would include, at no cost to
the requestor, release of:
all AMESA data from installation to present and include underlying reports
(if requested); and
in future AMESA results as they become available (typically on a 28-day
basis).
Further, currently the minutes and resolutions of the EFW-WMAC Committee go to the
Works Committee. Therefore, it is difficult for Regional Council members to be aware,
especially when requests and resolutions from the EFW -WMAC committee are only
received for information, if and when there maybe ongoing monitoring issues at DYEC.
Clarington Council is requesting that the minutes and resolutions of EFW -WMAC go to
Regional Council along with the actions taken by Works Committee. In this way, much
like the ongoing peer review of the emissions monitoring at the DYEC there can be
ongoing knowledge and monitoring by Regional Council members.
The above noted letter was endorsed by Resolution number XX-21.
Yours truly
Mayor and Members of Council
Municipality of Clarington

Excerpt from Host Community Agreement Attachment 2
3.1 Durham shall ensure that the EFW Facility incorporates and utilizes modern,state of the
art, emission control technologies that meet or exceed the Ontario A7 air emission
guidelines and European Union standards as identified below:
3.2 Durham shall ensure that the EFW Facility utilizes maximum achievable control technology
(MACT) for emissions control and monitoring systems. Durham and the operator shall
seek to achieve normal operating levels significantly better than the emission limits
identified in Section 3.1.
3.3 Durham shall ensure that, where technically possible, the EFW Facility utilizes 24/7
monitoring systems for such parameters as are deemed appropriate by the Ministry of the
Environment. The results of such monitoring systems shall be made accessible to the
public on a website or programmable display board designed for such purpose. In addition,
Durham shall ensure that the operator monitors the ambient air in the immediate vicinity of
the EFW Facility for a three year term commencing upon the commencement of
operations.
10.8 In addition to all public information, the Operator shall on or before March 31st in each
calendar year provide the Clerk of Clarington with a report related to the emissions output
from the EFW Facility for the previous calendar year.
15. Further Assurances
The parties hereby covenant and agree, after a request in writing by one party to the other
parties, to forthwith execute and provide all further documents, instruments and assurances as
may be necessary or required in order to carry out (and give effect to) the true intent of this
Agreement, and to effect the registration against and release from title to the lands subject to this
Agreement of such notices or other instruments in accordance with the provision of this
Agreement.

Excerpt from Report PSD-064-16 Attachment 3
1.2 DYEC Facility Air Emissions Monitoring Program
Separate from the DYEC Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Plan, the Air Emissions Monitoring
Plan has been prepared to satisfy Conditions 12 and 13 of the EA Notice of Approval and
Conditions 7(1), 7(2) and 7(3) of the ECA. Air emissions monitoring started when the first
discharges were emitted from the facility. The monitoring program includes:
a) Continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS);
Continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) began with the commencement of boiler
operations (each boiler has its own monitoring equipment). A list of CEMS monitoring
parameters is provided as part of Attachment 1. Live CEM data is posted to the
DYEC website and the external facility display board.
b) Stack testing (also known as source testing);
In addition to CEM, air emissions from the facility are tested twice per year by a stack
(source) test. The parameter categories tested during the stack (source) test are also
listed in Attachment 1. The stack tests are carried out by a qualified air specialist team
under the scrutiny of an independent (third party) consultant. The labs that analyze the
samples collected are selected by Durham Region and results are submitted to the
MOECC.
c) Long term sampling for dioxins and furans;
Long-term sampling for dioxins and furans is performed by the AMESA sampler.
Through continuous monitoring, the sampling is intended to determine long-term
variations of dioxin and furan emissions levels over time. The system is evaluated as
part of the stack testing program. When Boiler #2 failed the stack test in May 2016, the
Region retained experts to ensure that the AMESA sampler was performing as
anticipated.
1.3 DYEC Facility Air Pollution Control Equipment
Each boiler has its own dedicated Air Pollution Control system consisting of:
Selective non-catalytic reduction system for control of nitrogen oxides (NOx);
Patented Very Low NOx™ system for additional NOx control;
Evaporative cooling tower with dry lime reactor for acid gas control;
Activated carbon injection system for mercury and dioxin control;
Minimum temperature of 1,000°C for VOC and dioxin and furan control; and
Fabric filter baghouse system for particulate matter control.
CEM devices monitor stack emissions on a continuous basis to ensure compliance. The
DYEC is required to meet the air emissions standards set out in Ontario Regulation 419/05
Air Pollution – Local Air Quality (O.Reg. 419/05) and the MOECC Guideline A-7 Combustion
and Air Pollution Control Requirements for New Municipal Waste Incinerators (A7 Guideline).
One exception to this is the stack emission limit for dioxins and furans at the DYEC, which is
more stringent than the A7 Guideline limit (60 pg/Rm3 for the DYEC compared to the A7
Guideline value of 80 pg/Rm3). Page 46

RESOLUTION #____________
Date April 12, 2021
Moved By Councillor Zwart
Seconded By: ______________
Supporting Hair Salons Remaining Open During COVID
Shutdown
Whereas Clarington Council remains a strong supporter of our local and small
businesses;
And whereas hair salons are important businesses in our community;
And whereas hair salons in Ontario are mandated to be closed during the COVID -19
Province Wide Shutdown in effect from April 8, 2021 for 28 days;
And whereas most hair salons in Clarington are small, and unable to support their
businesses and families during this shutdown;
And whereas hair salon owners across the Province have implemented new protocols
to keep clients and staff safe, adhering to current COVID-19 measures, when allowed to
be open;
And whereas the Region of Durham Health unit inspects salons and spas , and posts
inspection results publicly;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington:
1. Supports the reopening of the hair salons as soon as possible.
2. Supports removing hair salons from being included in any further COVID-19
Province Wide Shutdowns and be permitted to open.
3. That this motion be distributed to Premier Ford, MPP Lindsey Park, MPP David
Piccini, and all Durham Region Municipalities.
