Dear M arme:
Over the past several months,I have been putting together a new initiative that would
i
give mayors a leadership role in supporting World Mental Health in Canada.
i
I have become part of a roundtable of business people and psychiatrists who are working
to bring a new understanding to mental health and the issues surrounding it within
Canada. ..
We are hoping to encourage, in a large number of communities across Canada, different
kinds of forums, seminars and activities that will help draw attention to the needs of
people with mental illness.
As part of this initiative,we have already enlisted the support of some 30 mayors from
across Canada, including every capital city but one,and therefore, representative of a
large portion of our country.
This initiative is supported by the American Psychiatric Association,the Canadian
Psychiatric Association and the Canadian Mental Health Association and is largely
sponsored by the Homewood Health Centre in Guelph.
Enclosed is the data that was released on June 4t'at the formal announcement of this
Mayor's initiative. This will provide you with all the details and I will continue to share
information of this initiative as it becomes available. 7-10 --
Ys sincerely, ------1--

Dear Mayor Harare and Members of Council:
--We wish to gratefully acknowledge receipt of a grant in the amount of$2,400 which we received
recently from the Municipality of Clarington. We also wish to acknowledge our understanding of
how difficult the dccision(s)were to make with so many worthwhile community organizations in
which to consider.
You are indeed correct in stating that"it's not the responsibility of the local property taxpayer to
fund the shelter". It is indeed the provinces' responsibility in reciprocation for the downloading of
other ser0ces to the region and municipality. The province greed to fully fund women's shelters in
Ontario commencing January 1, 1998. Unfortunately, though, because we were not even partially
funded by the province prior,we,along with two other shelters out of a total of 103 in Ontario were
not picked up by the provnnec.
We arc fortunately still eligible as an emergency hostel to receive per diem allowances from Durham
Region Social Services for those residents who may qualify. Effective July 1, 1998,our
maximu n entitlement for which we are very grateful to still be eligible, will be reduecd. The
balance of our operational costs are required to be fundraised or donated from within our

community. We are the benefactors of many generous businesses,community service organizations
and individuals within our community. Unfortunately,as was proven by the number of community
organizations who requested grant funding, it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure those
funds.
As the Municipality of Clarington grows at an unprccidcnted rate not found anywhere,else in
Canada, the demands for our services will unfortunately grow. One in eight women and their
children are victims of family violence;. We are grateful for the assistance of the Municipality of
Clarington in securing;a location for a women's resource centre to be opened in the near future.
Our goal,albeit, an unusual one, is to close our doors,at a time in the future when our services will
no longer be needed, when women and children will be frco to live from fear of violence.
Thank you, Mayor Harnrc, Members of Council, local businesses and individuals, for your
comtnit rent to the support of women and their children within the Muncipality of Clarington.

Dear Mr. O'Toole:
Thank you for your letters of May 4 and 7, 1998 regarding Mayor Diane Harare's concerns on
illumination and traffic safety at the intersection of the westbound ramp of Highway 401 at
Bennett Road just east of Bowmanville.
i
A site review of this intersection indicates that the signs directing motorists to the Highway 401
westbound ramp appear to be in reasonable condition and are properly installed. An additional
investigation for enhancement to signage and roadway delineation will be undertaken. The trafhd
volume on Bennett Road is low, and the ramp volume is also low. A review of the nighttime
intersection operations and our collision records indicate that illumination is not warranted at this
intersection, based on the current ministry standards.
Mayor Hamre may wish to direct her request to the Municipality of Clarington who have
jurisdiction over Bennett Road. If the municipality sees sufficient benefit, and the municipality is
prepared to pay the cost of installation and the energy, operating and maintenance costs; partial or
complete illumination may be installed, as long as the illumination proposed does not adversely
affect the flow of traffic. This type of arrangement has been undertaken on several provincial
highway facilities in the past.
I hope this adequately explains our position on this matter. If you have any additional concerns,
please contact Mr. Peter Korpal, Area Traffic Manager in Central Region Traffic Management _

Please find enclosed a copy of a letter sent to me by Mayor Diane Hamre from the
municipality of Clarington, regarding a traffic safety issue.
Mayor Hamre has written to me on behalf of the residents of Wilmot Creek, a
seniors' community located in my riding. Apparently, several residents from Wilmot
Creek are concerned with the intersection situated at the westbound ramp of Highway
401 at Bennett Road,just east of Bowmanville. They have expressed anxiety for their
difficulty in seeing the intersection after dark.
i
Minister, I would appreciate having you look into this matter on behalf of the
residents of Wilmot Creek. Your consideration for a traffic light to be installed at this
location would be appreciated. Thank you for your assistance wwith this request.

of Wilmot Creek are concerned with the lack of illumination of the area where two ramps
j (one coming off Highway 401 and one going onto Highway 401 west) are situated side
by side on the north side of the bridge over the Highway 401 on Bennett Road,just east of
Bowmanville. After dark, it is difficult for drivers to see the division between the two Y
ramps. Mrs. Hinkley feels that a light standard would provide an answer to this safety
issue. She does not feel there is a need for a stoplight.
Minister, I would appreciate having you look into this safety issue on behalf of
my constituent, Mrs. Ruth Hinkley, and the other residents of Wilmot Creek.

Dear Mayor>4cC li
Thank you for.your-letter of May 25, 1998 requesting that the province consider allocating a part
of its gasoline tax revenues to fund future expansion of the 00 Transit and local transit systems.
Ln terms of dedicating provincial gasoline taxes and other transportation-related revenues, I must
reiterate what my colleague, the Minister of Finance has indicated in the past. Ontariods not'
intending to introduce measures that would result in sharing transportation-based revenues, such,
as provincial•g'a'soline't'axds;with they municipalities:
The province provided municipalities.with the flexibility and tax rootu they need to manage
additional local responsibilities under Local Service Realignment, including local transportation
services. As well, additional specific funding was established to assist municipalities with the
operation and maintenance of transferred facilities. The sharing or dedication of gasoline taxes
has not been included in this reallocation of resources,1
I appreciate your concern regarding system expansion. However, as you are aware, the province
is no longer responsible for funding local transit systems and GO Transit,
Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention.
Yours very trulyJ.r, ..r .

Dear Mr. 1\, nister:
In light of the transfer of GO Transit to the municipalities within the GTA and the
elimination of transit subsidies, both capital and operating, I would highly recommend that the
Province give consideration to allocating some of the gasoline tax to municipalities in order for us �
to be able to expand the transit system,both CO Transit and local transit in the GTA.
If there is concern about pollution, then any expansion of GO Transit or local transit
authorities is going to be an asset to the environment.
This is one way in which the Province can make a decision to allocate a portion of the
gasoline tam to municipalities to prove that it is truly environmentally sensitive.
We spent many months reviewing integrated transit in the GTA and after our job was
completed there was only one item we weren't able to address which was that it would require an
additional, S30 million to implement an integrated transit system in the GTA. Needless to say, the
question is -where will the money come from? That amount was based on the Province subsidizing
75% of the capital cost of acquisition of buses and the subsidy toward the operating cost. All this
has been eliriinated so the$30 million has now become a much greater figure.
I can't see any way that the transit systems can expand,even if we go to leasing transit buses,
which is a possibility,
The goverranent has done so many things to upset the municipalities that a move to allocate
a very small portion of the gasoline tax would be a move in the right direction and would encourage
us to get on with expanding our transit systems and getting people out of their cars.

The highways in our area are jammed with traffic at rush hour periods and in order to get
people out of their cars it is essential that we have a convenient and accessible transit system.
In light of the changes which you have made in cutting out the subsidies and transfen-ng GO
Transit to municipalities in the GTA,I cannot see how,any expansion can occur as the funds will not
I
be available.
I would appreciate your comments as I intend to take this issue to the GTA Mayors &
Regional Chairs Committee at the June 19, 1998 meeting.

S.R.: 4254-98 APPROVED BY C.A.O.
MEMO TO: The Chairman and Members of the Authority
FROM: Sandra L. Hanson, Director of Corporate Services
SUBJECT: 1997 Audited Financial Statement
Attached for your information and approval are the Authority's 1997 audited financial statement and related
schedules. The statements and schedules have been prepared by management and have been audited by the
Oshawa office of BDO Dunwoody. The summary of significant accounting policies and notes to financial
statements on pages'6.and 7 also form an integral part of the statement.
�I
Schedules 1 through 7 provide supplemental information and have been presented in the same format as the
1997 budget with comparables to 1997 budget and 1996 actuals .
i
After appropriations to and from reserves, the year end final financial position of the Authority was a net
operating surplus.-of$29,204 (see Statement of Operations and Surplus, page 5 of the financial statement).
The projects and programs approved in the 1997 budget were undertaken and completed within the allocations
approved, however, a number of variances occurred within program areas. Significant variances are as follows:
1. Corporate Services (Schedule 2, page 10) - Savings due to unallocated administrative contingency and a
deferred capital project as well as reduced costs for financing and authority meetings were offset by
increased equipment costs to replace a computer after break-in,purchase of anti-virus software, additional
postage costs during the postal strike and ventilation system repairs to the ageing 100 Whiting Avenue
facility.
2. Watershed Management&Monitoring(Schedule 3,page 11) - Increased cost for equipment and supplies
for floodwarning and stream monitoring programs were offset by additional grant, rental revenues and
reduced travel costs. Bowmanville Creek geomorphic, Pringle Creek hydrologic and Goodman Two-
Zone study costs were deferred to 1998 for implementation due to timing of projects with municipalities
and confirmation of financing. The equipment for the Oshawa floodwarning gauging was not required.
3. Watershed Stewardship (Schedule 5, page 13) - Additional costs for the conservation education program
were offset by increased revenues, (note: without the teachers' strike we would have had an additional
$3,000 - $4,000 in revenues), extension services project with Ganaraska CA was cancelled and Oshawa
Creek erosion control project was deferred to 1998.
4. Other Programs (Schedule 7, page 15) - Non-budgeted other program costs included a federally-funded
Marsh for Life and Second Marsh project as well as summer employment programs for environmental
day camp counsellors.

i
I

• Proactive involvement on committees with the region, municipalities, public interest groups and the
development community to provide input and/or management of natural heritage features of the
watersheds.

CENTRAL LAKE ONTARIO CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
DATE: June 10, 1998
FILE: NFFC 1
S.R.: 4256-98 APPROVED BY C.A.O.
MEMO TO: The Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors
FROM: P. Sisson, Director of Environmental Engineering Services
SUBJECT: Flood Contingency Plan
Conservation Authorities are responsible for the operation and maintenance of a flood forecasting and
warning system, to monitor and give advance notice of potential flood conditions or emergencies, and to
provide information to the emergency measures office during the event of a flood emergency. The Flood
Contingency Plan is intended to coordinate the Flood Forecasting and Warning activities of the Conservation
Authorities, in an effort to prevent inconsistent communications with shared municipalities, reduce the
potential for repetition and redundancy, and to optimize the effectiveness of each Conservation Authority's
flood warning system. This plan also describes the interaction and communication of all agencies likely to
play a role in flood warning, mitigation, or emergency relief.
CLOCA staff have participated in a Greater Toronto Area Conservation Authorities undertaking to prepare a
generic Flood Contingency Plan that can be applied consistently over all the GTA municipalities. The
Conservation Authorities of the GTA include the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority, the Central Lake
Ontario Conservation Authority, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, the Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority, the Credit Valley Conservation Authority, and the Halton Region Conservation
Authority. These organizations completed the generic Flood Contingency Plan in May 1998.
In the generic plan, each Regional Municipality within the GTA has been assigned a "principal"
Conservation Authority, to prepare the Flood Contingency Plan and lead the flood forecasting and warning
activities for that municipality. CLOCA has been designated as the principal Conservation Authority for the
Regional Municipality of Durham. As a result, CLOCA staff have prepared a version of the generic Flood
Contingency Plan that is specific for the Region of Durham. The Region of Durham Flood Contingency Plan
is attached for reference.
CLOCA staff will provide the plan to the emergency response staff of the Region of Durham and local
municipalities, and will be following up with meetings of each municipality to discuss their Emergency
Response Plan as it relates to flooding.
RECOMMENDATION.-
THAT Staff Report#4256-98 prepared by the Director, Environmental Engineering Services be received for
information.

Dear Mayor Hamre:
It gives me great pleasure to enclose a copy of the background on the Bill An Act to
Create Jobs, and Protect Consumers by Promoting Low-Cost Energy through
Competition, to Protect the Environment and Provide for Pensions, and to Make
Related Changes to Certain Acts which received first reading today in the Ontario
Legislature.
On N6vember 6, 1997, after exhaustive consultation with many stakeholders, the Mike
Harris govemment embarked on a bold new direction with our White Paper- Direction
for Change: Charting a Course for Competitive Electricity and Jobs in Ontario.
The White Paper outlined both a policy direction and a process where consumers will
benefit from safe, reliable power at the best possible prices through the introduction of
competition.
1
If passed, this Bill represents the first major overhaul of Ontario's electricity sector since
1972 by allowing competition at both the retail and wholesale levels of the electricity
market in the year 2000. And, it would set out a regulatory framework that protects
consumers and creates a level, fair and transparent playing field for all stakeholders.
The proposed legislation also addresses other important issues. If enacted, it will end
Ontario Hydro's monopoly over the supply of electricity as well as its regulatory
oversight of the electricity market. It will enhance consumer protection through a
strengthened Ontario Energy Board. And, it would ensure a level playing field for
everyone participating in the new, made-in-Ontario market through the Independent
Electricity Market Operator.
0781G EST(1=71 100%Recycled Chlorine Free.Made In Canada
- 2 —
Competition in the electricity market offers numerous and exciting opportunities for
consumers and stakeholders alike. Just a few examples are: the protection of rural and
remote rate assistance; asset ownership, roles and responsibilities between local
government and the local electrical utility are clarified; Ontario Hydro's responsibility as
regulator transferred to the Ontario Energy Board; and existing suppliers will remain the
default provider of electricity.
You may also be interested to know that last week, I invited the Association of
Municipalities,of Ontario to be represented on my Minister's Electricity Transition
Committee, made up of key stakeholders. As well, the ministry will be holding
workshops for MEUs to assist them in preparing for corporatization and competition.
Ontario is the best jurisdiction to live, work and invest. And market-driven electricity
prices, along with our other job creation initiatives like tax cuts, will be a key component
in ensuring our continued and increased competitiveness.
An Act to Create Jobs, and Protect Consumers by Promoting Low-Cost Energy
through Competition, to Protect the Environment and Provide for Pensions, and
to Make Related Changes to Certain Acts is the result of extensive consultations with
all stakeholders in the energy sector. And I am fully committed to maintaining an open
dialogue with you and all of our partners as we move through the legislative and market
design process.
I
I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions in the months ahead. A full
copy of the Bill can be obtained through the website at www.est.gov.on.ca. j
Please accept my best wishes.
Sincerely, ��

To the Members of the
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority
We have audited the balance sheet of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority as at
December 31, 1997 and the statements of operations and surplus and continuity of reserves for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Conservation Authority's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards
require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.
1 .
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority as at December 31, 1997 and the results of its
( operations for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles described in the
( , summary of significant accounting policies.

Dear Mayor Hamre
I am writing to you today to tell you about a very special person who will be visiting your community in the coming
weeks and to respectfully request that you assist him if possible. Perhaps you have already heard of him.
John Davidson is a resident of London who,for many years,worked as a broadcaster at our local television station.
John's son Jesse has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and in 1995, John pushed Jesse in his wheelchair 3,300
kilometres.,across the province of Ontario. Thanks to the support of generous Ontario residents,"Jesse's Journey"
raised over a million dollars to fund research into genetically inherited disease.
Although Jesse's deteriorating health means that he is unable to undertake another journey, on April 10" (Jesse's
18" birthday) John began a journey across Canada in honour of his son and others who suffer from genetically
inherited diseases. The journey will end in Victoria, B.C. in January of 1999. The goal of"Jesse's Journey - A
Father's Tribute"is 10 million steps for 10 million dollars. You will agree that this is a formidable goal,but I know
that when you meet John,you will see that his tremendous strength and courage come from a desire to conquer the
genetic diseases that affect so many people like Jesse.
I have included a time line showing the dates on which John will pass through specific communities in your area
of Ontario. The Jesse's Journey Team will be contacting people in the media, in service clubs and other
organizations in communities across your province, but I wanted to let you, as a municipal leader, know well in
advance of John's arrival. If you have any questions,please call Maureen Golovchenko at the Jesse's Journey office
in London at(519) 645-8855.
j
With thanks in advance for your assistance and support for John Davidson, I remain,
Yours respectfully,

Dear Mayor Hamre and Councillors;
,IAMIM M•.MM•uMMUI•^r«' a;:A• .
As a frequent Library patron , I wanted to thank h� .P �} ,
Department for the improved parking we now have o the
Library . Since spaces have been increased and parking meters have
been installed, I have always been able to park near the Library
instead of having to trek there from some other parking lot . I feel
that the location of the actual meter for the parking space the
furthest south on the east side of Temperance, St . could 'be
confusing for some people , but the painting of the lines should
have resolved that problem .
I
It is certainly good to have more spaces now and the meters should.
help people make maximum use of the spaces available in• the winter
when the lines will be covered with ice and snow.
It is unfortunate that the "2 hours free parking" signs remained up
when the meters were first in use , as this confused people and made.
them angry when they got tickets . I have been in the Library when
some patrons have complained about having to pay for parking now.
Whenever I hear that , I explain the history of the problem to them .
That because parking was free there , many people who were not
Library patrons used those spots; therefore , the spaces were
unavailable for us to use when we needed them and with the arrival
of the condominium thi.ngs . only got worse . After an explanation.,
most people agree that�'it 's worth 25 cents to be guaranteed a spot
for half an hour right in front 'of' 'the Library , After all , I point
out to them , what else do you get for a quarter these days? Our
parking rates are quite reasonable and I hope i p you will continue to
have the meters accept nickels and dimes fdr" short periods of times
as this helps meet the needs of all citizens . My husband and I
travel to parks all throughout Ontario on our vacations to use the
nature trails . The only meters we have seen that were cheaper than
Clarington 's were in Cochrane in Northern Ontario where one cent in
the meter got you 5 minutes! So , people do not have grounds to
complain about our rates and I tell them that . I only have
encountered one man who was adamant that the .meters were a rip off
and I couldn 't persuade him otherwise . He said he was going to
convince you to take them out !
The improved Library parking is much appreciated and should tide us
over until we get the long overdue , * very badly needed , 'larger main
branch for our Library that the Mayor referred, to during the
election campaign!
Sincerely ,
Evylin Stroud

Auditors' Report
To the Board Members,Members of Council,
Inhabitants and Ratepayers of the
Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington
i
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of the Public Library Board of the Corporation of the
Municipality of Clarington as at December 31, 1997 and the consolidated statements of operations and
changes in financial position for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Board's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit. ,
I
Except as explained in the following paragraph,we conducted our audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining,on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management,as well as evaluatingthe overall financial statement presentation. a
In common with many non-profit organizations,the Public Library Board of the Corporation of the
Municipality of Clarington derives part of its revenue from the general public in the form of donations,
the completeness of which is not susceptible to satisfactory audit verification. Accordingly, our
verification of these revenues was limited to accounting for the amounts recorded in the,records of the
Public Library Board and we were not able to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to
donation revenues,excess of financing over expenditure,assets or fund balances.
In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which we might have determined to be
necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves concerning the completeness of the donations referred
to in the preceding paragraph these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects,the financial position of the Public Library Board of the Corporation of the Municipality of ,
Clarington as at December3l, 1997 and the results of its operations and changes in its financial
position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles disclosed in the Note 1 to the
financial statements. {

Dear Head of Municipal Council:
As indicated in the letter to Heads of Municipal Council from Chris Hodgson,
Chair of Management Board of Cabinet, dated April 9, 1998, this letter is to advise
you of the details of the Advance Funding Program. The Province of Ontario is
making up to $40 million in interim financing available in fiscal 1998/1999 for
distribution to charities. The funds will be distributed to charities by the Ontario
Lottery Corporation (OLQ.
Each municipality has been allocated a per capita share of the advance funds to
allocate to local charities based on local priorities. Your municipality's share is
s indicated on the attached roster.
I
Each municipality is responsible for completing a roster of local charities to share
in the advance funding. Charities must apply to their municipality for inclusion on
the roster. Application and roster forms from which additional copies can be made
are attached. For charities to participate in the Advance Funding Program, they
must meet the same requirements for eligibility as set out in the Lottery Licensing
Policy Manual provided by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to
your local licensing or clerk's office.
Applying charities that have held Monte Carlo events in your municipality
from January 1, 1996 to March 31, 1998 are to receive priority placement on
the roster. OLC will verify this placement upon receipt of all documentation,
as indicated below.
In developing the roster, municipalities will also recommend the share of the
advance funding allocation each charity is to receive.
If a local charity casino/casinos becomes operational prior to March 31, 1999, the
advance funding will be discontinued as local charities begin to access charity
casino proceeds directly. The advance funding program will cease on March 31,
1999.
/2
i
I
i
- 2 -
If a charity casino becomes operational, advance funds would be recouped from
the recipient charities' share of table proceeds. The OLC will work with the
Provincial Gaming Secretariat and the charities on a repayment formula that
considers the cash flow requirements of charities.
I
In order to participate in the Advance Funding Program, the completed roster,
applications of each charity on the roster, and a council resolution or appropriate
municipal authority indicating approval of the completed roster, must be returned
to the address appearing below.

Suite 800, 70 Foster Drive
Sault Ste. Marie, ON
PCA 6V2
i
The earlier the required documentation is returned to the OLC, the sooner charities
in your municipality will be able to access advance funds.
I
Over the next few days, application forms and letters advising on the process for
accessing the Advance Program will be sent to all charities. Should you have any
questions concerning this process, please contact Jim Cronin at the Ontario Lottery
Corporation, at 1-800-387-0098.

GUIDELINES - contd
6. The following guidelines have been set for the municipalities to follow when determining whether
to recommend advance funding of organizations.
I. Organizations that conducted Monte Carlo events during the period from
January 1, 1996 to March 31, 1998
In order to minimize the impact on charities who have made financial.commitments based on
the funds they raised through roving Monte Carlo events, municipalities should ensure that
these organizations are given priority for advance funding. To facilitate the priority
requircment, the applicant organization must provide its GIN# and evidence of conducting
a Monte Carlo event during the period from January 1, 1996 to March 31, 1998 (e.g. a copy
of the lottery licence).
11. Size and budgetary needs of the organization
Access to the advance funding should be allocated based on the budgetary needs of the
organization. Municipalities should review the budgets of each applicant organization to
evaluate the funds required by the organization to provide charitable scrvices-ngainst funds
from other sources. Groups which justify a definite need for advance funding should take
precedence over those with operating surpluses. Copies.-of the current financial statements
and current and previous years' budgets must be supplied with the first application for
advance funding to assist in making this determination.
III. Services provided to the community
Municipalities may base decisions on the benefit the services of the organization provide to
the community when deciding whether to grant access to advance funding.

Dear Mayor Hamre and Committee:
Re: Rotary Park n p
My wife and I were picnicking in the Rota Park last
p g Rotary week. We noticed a great
deal of damage by skateboarding and graffiti (on sides of buildings). This park is to
the memory of 3 airmen from this area, 1939 — 1945, who died for freedom.
Too bad the youth of today cannot look after it.
jWhat about a committee of young people to "guard" against vandalism and to
clean up the environment?
Sincerely,
i
David A. Smith
(ex RAF)
i
P.S. Skateboarding signs are up in Newcastle (Main Street) — what about
signs in Bowmanville?
i
P.P.S Who is in charge of"Youth Groups" etc., in Orono, Bowmanville,
Newcastle (besides Guides 8z Scouts)? - who might take pride in
their environment and their towns.
P.P.P.S. Last time I wrote, no one answered my note. (Re: the environment)

I am writing to you on behalf of the residents of Norwich Township who experienced
substantial damage to their property following a severe windstorm(now classified as a Fl Tornado)
which struck the Township on the afternoon of June 2"', 1998. Fortunately, no injuries were
reported as a result of the storm. Many properties, however, suffered damage. Many barns,
outbuildings and houses were either destroyed or received major damage.
i
As of June 30, 1998, estimated insured loss to private property has totaled$2,585,210.00.
The estimated uninsured loss to private property is $878,960.49. As a result, on June 25'x, 1998,
the Provincial Government declared Norwich a disaster area for the purposes of accessing the
Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program(ODRAP), and to provide matching funds at a ratio of
up to two to one. That means that every dollar raised locally can turn into up to three dollars for
those in need!
I am in the process of appointing a Disaster Relief Committee to oversee the fund raising
and the disbursement of funds to affected property owners.
I am hereby requesting a financial donation to this cause from your municipality. In these
tough economic times that all municipalities are facing, any donation from your community would
be greatly appreciated.
Cheques can be made out in the name of the TOWNSHIP OF NORWICH DISASTER
RELIEF FUND and can be forwarded to the Township of Norwich, P. O. Box 100, Otterville, Ont.

On behalf of the Township of Norwich Council and its residents, I would like to thank you
for your consideration of this request and look forward to hearing from you.

Amendment Application CQPA 97-008 (Paula Lishman Ltd.)
The Durham Region Federation of Agriculture have previously made comments regarding this
application to Municipality of Clarington, Planning Department.
We would like to further reiterate our concerns regarding the removal of lands out of their current
zoning of agriculture. t
i
s
As conflicts increase between agricultural operation's and non-farm uses, it becomes more !
important to keep the different uses in their appropriate zoned areas,
It is felt that allowing a rezoning of agricultural lands out of that use, sets a precedent for other
`special' uses. Those uses could be placed in other areas currently more suitably zoned for the
land use.
It is hoped that in your deliberations regarding this application that you will take the concerns of
the agricultural community into consideration. __..

- JUL 8 1016 AM '98
Dear friends of the community,
I am writing this letter on behalf of my family who reside at the above address.
We have recently moved to the area and hope to reside here for many years. The reason we chose this area
in which to live was because of the serenity, privacy and safety of the community. Having come from a
large city we are well aware of the crime and violence that occur each and every day and were glad to leave
this reality behind.
As a mother of a new baby I was comforted by the fact that I am surrounded by friendly, concerned
neighbours and a peaceful environment in which to raise my son. When my family chose this location we
were not aware of the existing problems our community has been facing with the many hunters that
frequent this location, had we been, we may have chosen to purchase elsewhere.
I was shocked one morning to see 3 men, with dogs running freely carrying shot guns roaming on our
property. We have signs stating that we do not welcome hunters on our land,not to mention that they were
blatantly trespassing, yet for some reason they seemed to pay no attention to either fact. We phoned the
police as we were intimidated to confront three men with shot guns. However by the time the police arrived
they were unable to do anything as they had not witnessed the incident. On another occasion a man was
loading his gun right in front of our home and then hopped the fence into the Provincial grounds. On the
same day a man had parked his truck on our land while he went hunting. At the back of our property there
is a canyon and gun shots can be heard coming from there. The hunters have assembled platforms in the
trees in order to get a better look and shot at the wildlife. AT NO TIME WERE WE APPROACHED FOR
PERMISSION. These incidents have been too frequent and VERY frustrating.
Firstly I would like to state that I am apposed to hunting. This is 1998 and we are no longer neanderthals
dependent upon hunting in order to live, Nor do I buy the excuse that hunting is a"sport". Two teams
competin-against each other, both working hard and giving their all to winning is a sport. Sneaking up to a
defenseless deer while it is having a drink by a river minding it's own business is just murder, Arid yes you
can also give the excuse that we have the"right"to do this, and I suppose that is sadly true. However, for
just one unselfish moment think of it this way. My young son is playing on our land and gets a stray bullet
in the head or we approach a hunter and he takes a shot at us?If I were to walk into your backyard with a
shot gun, loose dogs and shoot your beloved pet, I would be arrested! Just because we have more land than
your standard yard should not excluded ANYONE from taking responsibilities for their actions. We are
afraid to take walks down the back of our property as we never know what we might find..) would think
that any person with an ounce of intelligence would agree that our right NOT be shot, and to feel safe in
our home is a bit more important that the right to hunt.
It is unanimous in this household that we want the hunting to stop, drat we want stiff penalties for those
who do not obey the laws and but most of all we just want to feel safe.

Dear Mayor and Councillors:
Subject: Pt. Lots 32,33,34, Concession 6,Former Township of Clarke
j Proposed Official flan Amendment and Zoning By-Law Amendment
Hannu Halminen,In Trust for Lishmlan International
Planning Department Files DEV.97-058 and COPA 97-008
i
The Ontario Federation of.Anglers and Hunters has previously corresponded with the Region of
Durham regarding these proposed amendments, and I understand that copies of that correspondence
has already been provided to Council.
To reiterate those concerns, the Wilmot Creek currently supports a healthy but fragile population
j of cold water trout species, and serves to naturally support a healthy Take Ontario cold water fish
community through the provision of spawning and nursery habitat. Both the quality and the quantity
of surface and subsurface water that drains through the subject property are key detenninants in the
maintenance of the continued health of the stream ecosystem and the resident and transitory fish
populations dependent on that.ecosystem.
Clearly the Provincial Land Use Planning Policy Statement requires that natural heritage features and
areas be-protected, and that before development is permitted, the proponent is required to
demonstrate that there will be no negative impacts on the natural features or ecological functions.
Should the tributary to the Wilmot that is found on site not be considered to be a"natural heritage
featutle"on its own, then surely the subject lands of the Official Plan Amendment application must
be considered as"adjacent lands"to the Wilmot Creek corridor, and the applicable policies of the
Provincial Policy Statement should then apply. On this basis,the Township is bound to require the
proponent to demonstrate that there will be no negative impacts to either natural features or
ecological function.

The piecemeal reports and reviews completed to date by the proponent do not constitute a
comprehensive Frivironmental Impact Analysis as required by provincial policy. Therefore, we do
not agree with the assessment by Planning Department staff in Section 6 of Report PD-84-98 that the
proposed amendment does not offend the Provincial Planning Policy statement.
Given the reliance of the proponent on access to the site from the south on Taunton Road, the
necessary improvements to Taunton Road must be considered as part and parcel to the development
proposal,and the potential environmental impacts to the main branch of the Wilmot that result from
that upgrading must also be considered.
Until such an.Environmental Impact Assessment is received,thoroughly reviewed, and accepted, we
would not recommend the submitted amendment for approval.
Additionally, given the potential for other development applications that may be brought forward in
the near future for vacant agricultural lands within the watershed, it would make good land use
planning sense to comprehensively and scientifically consider the entire watershed in a Watershed
Plan, and determine, on a cumulative basis, how much land within the watershed can be safely
developed without adversely impacting the ecosystem that supports this world class fishery.
In summary, although there are other aspects of the proposed development that should indicate to
Council that the amendments should be denied, such as overwhelming public opposition,
environmental aspects and potential impacts of the proposal require much greater analysis than they
have currently apparently received in order to protect the Wilmot Creek ecosystem, and its sensitive
fishery. The best way to accomplish this would be throogh a comprehensive watershed plan
sponsored by a neutral party. Until this watershed plan is complete, the applications should be
denied.
Yours in Conservation,

RE: LISHMAN/HALMINEN APPLICATION
REQUEST FOR TABLING FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING LEGAL OPINIONS.
The Public Meeting on July 6 was circulated giving the impression that
the owners of the R.O.W. being rezoned were part of the application ,during
the meeting it was made clear that this was not the case.
It was also made clear to everyone except the Committee that this
meeting was the first time the public was exposed to the application
to re-zone the .54 Hectare piece.
The issue of Fire protection was also not clarified specifically whether
sprinklers as required for a building of this size and nature were feasible.
The, Storm water containment for the parking area and building have yet
to be demonstrated.
The applicant's legal right to this R.O.W.has not been made clear and has
been requested from the vendor. Request under Freedom of -Information Act
" is attached.
Again I pequest the number of property owners that recieved the DISTRESS
WARRENT TAX LETTER, all I been made aware of i-s that 1,300 notices were
sent out but not the break down as I find it hard to believe that all
Notices were the same.
Again you do not seem to understant that this Notice has complicated
an existing inury to me.
I request that TABLING be confirmed by close of business FRIDAY or I
will assume that COUNCIL is intending to APPROVE this application on Monday.

RE : FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST
I request the particulars of a land transaction that the Region sold to
Hannu T.' Halminen,in Trust being Part 3 of ROW contained in Lot 33 Conc. 6
formerly CLARK TOWNSHIP.
It appears that this very small piece was deeded to THE POLICE VILLAGE OF
ORONO for the purpose of removing road frontage to protect the PUBLIC INTEREST.
Certain conditions of rehalitation were required at the very least.
This key piece was then conveyed to THE TOWR OF NEWCASTLE and then in 1976
to THE REGION OF DURHAM.
i
In Febuary 1991 THE REGION sold this piece and a tempo U easement also
was registered. This appears to provide the Right for the applicant to
change the zoning on land he does not own contrary to the wishes of the
registered owner.

Public notices for the Official Plan Amendment Applications were sent by first
class mail on or before June 12, 1998,to all property owners within 120 metres of
the subject properties in accordance with the latest municipal assessment record.
This notice procedure is in compliance with the Ontario Regulation made under the
Planning Act.
The Chairman announced that the Director of Planning and Development would
describe the purpose and effect of the proposed amendments,then the objectors
would be heard,followed by the supporters and the applicant.
(a) Report PD-83-98—564069 Ontario Inc.—the purpose and effect of the
rezoning application is two-fold,to:
i) change the zoning of a portion of the subject lands from"Holding
Urban Residential Type One((H)RI)"to an appropriate zoning
category to permit the construction of a parking lot to serve the future
supermarket;and
ii) change the zoning of a portion of the subject lands from"Light

permit the conversion of the existing three storey industrial building
for retail commercial,office commercial and apartment uses. j
Ruth Knight, —questioned where the j

Tenzin Gyaltsan,564069 Ontario Inc.,1;-
-described the application through the use of a diagram of the subject

application will benefit the Municipality in that it will keep residents within the
Municipality.
I
G.P.&A.Minutes -3- July 6, 1998
PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D
(b) Report PD-84-98-Paula Lishman International Limited-the purpose and
effect of the Official Plan Amendment is to introduce a Special Policy Area
that would allow the use of the lands for a single prestige employment use,
appropriate to and benefiting from a rural location, including a fur garment
manufacturing facility,subject to certain conditions.
The purpose and effect of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to restrict the use
i
of the lands to reforestation,conservation and a fur garment manufacturing
facility.
i
David Lawson,1 -questioned
why the Ministry of Natural Resources was not directly circulated on this
application,as they are an adjacent land owner and they look after stocking the
Wilmot Creek. He questioned what facts the Department of Fisheries and Oceans
had when they formulated their comments. Mr.Lawson stated that the application
is premature without an Environmental Impact Study and requested that he be kept
informed of all of the fishery issues related to this application. Mr.Lawson
commented that the Ministry of the Environment did not agree with the comment
that a septic system was efficient for this application.
Debbie Suddard,; -indicated that this
application is detrimental to the natural environment of the area,the last pristine
area within Durham Region. She stated that this is a beautiful area which the
municipality should enjoy,not destroy. Mrs.Suddard questioned why this
application is being proposed for this area when there is sufficient properly zoned
land available for it.
Richard Ward, -submitted a letter in
opposition to the rezoning application of Lishman/Halminen. He indicated
concerns with the entrance,the owner of the land being rezoned is in opposition to
the rezoning,the land is sensitive and not an area for development and the
application will take away from the function of this site. Mr.Ward requested that
Report PD-84-98 be tabled.
i
Linda Gasser -requested that Committee not approve
the recommendations contained in Report PD-84-98 other than recommendations
#I and#6. Mrs.Gasser submitted a letter outlining the following concerns:
• septic bed;
• fishery issues;
• lack of an Environmental Impact Study and a Watershed Plan;
• right-of-way which Mr.Hahninen enjoys over the Kingsley lands;
• rezoning of an individual's land without their permission;
• lot frontage minimum;
• construction of the earth intergraded building at present grade level to be above
the water table;and
• air strip and air craft activity,could an air craft hangar be considered an
accessory building to the fur garment manufacturing facility,and storage of
ultralight air craft.
Libby Racansky, -implored
Committee to protect the Wihnot Creek. She indicated that communities are only
as health as their watersheds.

i
PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D
Doug Berry, indicated that he works at
the same church which is attended by Mr.and Mrs.Kingsley. He stated that the
Kingsley property is used as a camping area for street children and Big Brothers
and it is therefore not proper to contaminate the water upstream from the Kingsley
property. He also stated access concerns.
Rhonda and Dan Hooper,
—submitted correspondence reiterating their concerns as outlined in previous
correspondence,together with a petition signed by 24 individuals that oppose the
project in its entirety and outlining specifically concerns with respect to Report
PD-84-98.
i
Bill Woods, addressed section 16.12.1 of the
proposed Official Plan Amendment. He questioned what the definition of"prestige
employment"is and whether or not flight training would qualify under that
designation. He also questioned the amount of fluid emptying into the septic fields
and into the fragile waterways on the proposed area and the hydrogeological
assessment. He urged Council to consider the Kingsley dilemma in having their
property rezoned without their permission and requested that a tabling motion come
forward to allow the Kingsley's solicitor an opportunity to review the situation.
Jean Kingsley, - Mated that her right-of-
way will not be given up for industrial property. She indicated that she has never
been approached by Council of either the Municipality of Clarington or the Region
of Durham with respect to this application. Mrs.Kingsley raised concern that her
taxes would increase if this rezoning is approved.
Resolution#GPA-417-98
Moved by Councillor Mutton,seconded by Councillor Rowe
THAT the meeting recess for 5 minutes.
"CARRIED"
I
The meeting reconvened at 10:45 a.m.
Jean Kingsley continued with her comments and stated that if the rezoning is
approved she will not have enough property to build on. She stated that a lawyer
acting on behalf of Mr.Hahninen drew up a paper authorizing access to the
property,however when she refused to sign the document,she was told that a fence
will be erected thereby denying her access to her own property.
Resolution#GPA-418-98
I
Moved by Councillor Schell,seconded by Councillor Rowe
THAT the meeting be"closed"for the purpose of receiving a legal opinion from the
solicitor pertaining to Mrs.Kingsley's presentation.

G.P.&A. Minutes -5- July 6, 1998
PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D
Mrs.Kingsley was asked if she is withdrawing a solicitor's letter dated
November 20, 1997, indicating that Linda Gasser and Bill Woods were acting on
her behalf and that she is now in fact representing herself. Mrs. Kingsley advised
that she has retained the services of a new solicitor who will be handling her
interests from this point forward.
Phil Pisani,3350 Concession Road 7,Orono,LOB 1 M—questioned whether or
not it was up to Mr.and Mrs.Lishman to prove that there is not a sufficient supply
of adequately zoned land in the municipality for their proposal prior for applying
for a rezoning on this property. He questioned why legal Counsel was not present
at the meeting and requested a tabling of the report in order to allow for the
