Resolution # GG-160-23
Moved by Councillor Rang
Seconded by Councillor Elhajjeh
Whereas Council acknowledges that rodenticide products are unreasonably
dangerous, inhumane, and ineffective;
And whereas rodenticides are highly toxic, persistent and bio accumulative
compounds used to eliminate rodent populations by causing death by preventing
normal blood clotting, causing internal hemorrhaging, or disturbing nervous
system functions;
And whereas rodenticides pose serious threats to Ontario's wildlife (including
raptors, songbirds, coyotes, snakes, and racoons) and the environment
(including aquatic ecosystems) through primary and secondary poisoning of non -
target species, and further threaten children and pets;
And whereas predators and scavengers are at a particularly high risk of
secondary poisoning because of their dependence on rodents as a food source,
with countless cases of poisoning across Ontario in the past decade;
And whereas rodenticides are an ineffective and counterproductive means of
controlling long-term rodent populations because they fail to address the root of
infestation problems (i.e., access to food, shelter and other attractants), and kill
predators that serve as natural and chemical -free methods of pest control (e.g., a
single owl eats around 1,000 rats per year);
And whereas the existing risk mitigation measures implemented by the federal
and provincial government are incapable of adequately addressing the threats
that rodenticides pose to the environment, wildlife, and human health; and
And whereas preventative measures are the best method of vector control;
And whereas eliminating non -essential use of rodenticides is consistent with the
precautionary principle
2
Page 20
General Government Committee Minutes October 16, 2023
And whereas Council wishes to enact a policy prohibiting the use of inhumane
vector control products to address public concern for the environmental wellbeing
of the community, and the health, safety and well-being of its inhabitants;
And whereas: Council deems it desirable and in the public interest to enact an
Animal Poison Prevention Policy for protecting wildlife, pets, and people from
unreasonable adverse effects caused by rodenticide use for the purpose of:
• Eliminating inhumane methods of pest control;
• Regulating and controlling the use, purchase, and sale of rodenticides;
• Sustaining a healthy natural environment by protecting biodiversity;
• Protecting significant and sensitive natural areas;
• Protecting human health;
• Maintaining water quality; and
• Protecting fish habitat as defined in the Fisheries Act, Revised Statute of
Canada 1985.
Therefore be it resolved that Council adopts a policy banning the use of
rodenticides on all municipally owned properties, with immediate effect;
That Council directs Staff to communicate this policy direction to residents and
businesses including information on the harmful impacts of rodenticides and the
availability of humane, ecologically sustainable alternatives; and
That Council incorporates humane practices in regards to pest control on all
municipal properties.
Referred
Resolution # GG-161-23

Clarington Heritage Committee Meeting Minutes
September 19, 2023
5 Delegations/Presentations:
5.1 Marilyn Morawetz, Jury Lands Foundation
Ms. Morawetz, on behalf of the Jury Lands Foundation, spoke to the Committee
regarding the proposed demolition of the Triple Dormitory Building on the Camp 30
property, summarized as follows:
The position of the Jury Lands Foundation that the Triple Dormitory Building
should remain a significant element of the heritage site on which it sits. Camp 30 is
federally designated as a National Historic. The Triple Dormitory building is an
important part of the history and historical landscape of Camp 30 that attracts
tourists' interest. The heritage value has been acknowledged and evaluated
through the developer's Heritage Impact Assessment report and the Peer Review
report prepared by heritage professionals.
The removal of the Triple Dormitory would have a negative impact on the
designated heritage site. This site, and this building in particular, are of national
and international significance, and to demolish it due to the desire of the owners to
better their unit numbers would be most unfortunate. The Heritage Impact
assessment for the property owner stated that the Triple Dormitory Building limits
opportunities to be modified for reuse as residential housing. However, the report
did not state it could not be done. Repurposing the triple dormitory and integrating
it into new development should be explored. There are many examples all over the
world of historic structures that have been repurposed successfully.
The Municipality states that it considers cultural heritage resources to be of value
to the community and values them in land use planning. It is also supported by the
Provincial Policy Statement. The Official Plan policies for the Camp 30 area have
been adopted by Council. The DTAH consultant study has been adopted by
Council in the principle, the design guidelines being enforced for new
development. It is concerning that there may be a bias for demolition despite
repeatedly stating through these reports that there will be a negative impact on the
heritage story of the site if the triple dormitory is demolished.
This site offers Clarington the unique opportunity to benefit from protecting the
national and international heritage site. We have the opportunity to maintain the
integrity of the site and the six remaining buildings, including the triple dormitory. In
denying the demolition of the triple dormitory, we would have a chance to rebuild
this once beautiful site, with the opportunity to bring new life into these designated
heritage structures, we can honour all the significant history that has occurred
here.
A Letter from Todd Tremeer, Jury Lands Foundation Board Member, was also
circulated to the Committee.
Committee members asked questions, and acknowledged the buildings on the
subject property are not in good condition. The safety issue of the buildings was

raised. Structural Assessment had been done a few years ago. It needs to be
reassessed due to the natural process and vandalism activities.
Ms. Morawetz indicated that the Jury Lands Foundation is retaining professionals
to look into a broader approach to preserve the buildings on the property. The
building is still valuable.
Councillor Elhajjeh asked about the ownership of the property and property
maintenance. The property, including the Triple Dormitory building is under the
private ownership of the applicant. The Cafeteria building is under municipal
ownership. The delegate noted the developer initially worked with the Jury Lands
Foundation to protect the buildings for several years. Then the developer changed
how they look after the property, and the situation declined for at least the last ten
years.
The CHC thanked M. Morawetz for the delegation.

9 New Business:
9.1 Heritage Permit Application to demolish the Triple Dormitory Building (Camp 30)
S. Allin gave the brief to the Committee about the Heritage Permit Application to
demolish the Triple Dormitory Building (Camp 30). The existing six buildings,
including the Triple Dormitory Building, were designated under s.29 of the Ontario
Heritage Act. The designation By-law (2018-001) lists the significant attributes.
The Triple Dormitory is identified as a contributor to the cultural heritage value of
the Camp 30 site. The heritage permit application is required under the Ontario
Heritage Act, where the demolition of a designated building is proposed.
The subject Heritage Permit application proposing to demolish the Triple Dormitory
building was submitted in June 2023. The Municipality issued a notice of complete
application on August 4, 2023, in accordance with the requirements of the Ontario
Heritage Act, triggering the prescribed 90-day period for Council's decision. A
memo of the property history, status and process under the Act was circulated to
the Committee on September 18, 2023 (attached).

Committee members commented that the site possesses architectural, historical
and contextual heritage significance, and the attributes still exist even condition of
the buildings has deteriorated. S. Conway questioned how to define the financial
hardship associated with the failure to maintain and preserve heritage properties.
Members discussed not accepting the demolition application based on the
heritage characteristics of the property of being well established and examined
over the last three decades, and the fact that the property continues to meet the
necessary the criteria for designation in accordance with the applicable legislation.
This is a designated national heritage site with heritage value.
23.32 Moved by V. Suppan, seconded by S. Conway
That the Committee recommends to Council:
The Heritage Permit Application (File Number HPA2023-009), proposing the
demolition of the Triple Dormitory building at the property known as Camp 30, not
be supported based on the evaluation of the cultural heritage value or interest of
the property as established in Designation By-law 2018 — 001 passed in
accordance with Section 29 of the Act and the criteria for designation listed under
Ontario Regulation 9/06.
"Carried"
Committee members emphasized that the Committee and the heritage
conservation rely on property owners to take pride in their heritage properties and
maintain the property. Demolition should not be the solution for neglecting
properties and allowing properties to deteriorate.
J. Dalrymple rejoined the meeting.

Chair: The food handlers' course is this weekend. 7 committee member are attending. Danielle will send
out an email to remind if anyone else would like to come.
Danielle is waiting to hear back from the Community meetings.
Stratigic Plan will be sent out from the municipality for the year.
We have filled out the ice rink application.
Bookings: Joy: The C.0 is very busy with not many weekends left to book. Asked if when we have events
that we keep notes on the temperature when we are in the C.C. Rentals that leave the place a mess
need to be charged for the extra clean up (deposit). Joy did revise the contract; she added the bar part
and Corrina went over it. Joy made up a diagram of how the hall should be left. If it is not left the same
Page 44
way as the diagram, we will have no choice but to charge them. *min fee 250, and wants to make it 300.
Increase wine glass from 30 to 50$. Rental rate: 4 hr rental $300, $600 jack and jill/ wedding, and regular
events for $500. Wants to increase to $600 for any event. make a motion to upgrade all, Crystal, all in
favor yes.
We need more people who can be bartenders, there are only 5 right now. Lyndsay and Corrine will get
theirs. Joy wanted to know if the bartenders could have a bit more responsibility other than the bar. To
give the renters the talk to tell them all the requirements for the day. Not a lot of members are in
agreement with this new idea. Suggested for an event planner to pay. Another option is put in a clause
in the contract to only be able to see the hall 2 times and if there is a need for more they need to pay
per extra visit. We will table this, and we will not move forward till we decide.
Maintenance: Larry: Painting will commence at the beginning of October. He needs help with preping
the walls and taking down the photos on the wall. Fire extinguishers are up to date. We discussed the
toilet issue again because they do not flush equivalently. Signs are up above the toilets.
Treasurer: Brian called in. Bank info: Savings $50,645.46 Cheq: $17,658.91
Old Business: Ac was put in this summer. A Fence was installed along the walkway and in front of the
parking lot. Also, Lyndsey said she was going to get her smart serve.
New Business: Movie Night is happening on October 20th. The movie that we chose was "Beetlejuice".

description of what the statement means.
3 Business arising - Housing Accelerator Fund Application
3.1 Hebah Masood read Justin Maclean's update to the taskforce: Justin is currently
working with the Region of Durham to prepare for a potential submission to the
new Housing Accelerator Fund. It is a $4 billion fund created by the Government of
Canada, administered through the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation
(CMHC). The primary objective of the program is to create more housing supply,
with an expected goal of 100,000 housing unit permits being issues (that would not
have occurred without the HAF).
At this point the application window has not opened are details are not totally clear,
but staff are working to determine which type of projects might fit the criteria,
including those related to affordable housing.
Justin will present to this group at our next meeting once the process is further
along as it is expected that any potential application will include an affordable
housing element.
3.2 No members had any comments or questions on the update.

Clarington Task Force for Affordable Housing
Committee Meeting Minutes
June 14, 2023
4 Business Arising — Review of the Terms of Reference
4.1 Regarding Section 4.1 of the ToR:
W. Partner raised concern about non-residents being on the committee,
particularly developers.
P. Wirch raised the value of diversity on the committee, assuming council still vets
who joins the committee.
W. Partner stated developers have been invited in the past to speak, but not as
committee members.
H Mire Stated there's value in having this committee made of members who are
residents. There's a difference in having developers come speak versus getting a
vote.
W. Partner noted that developers' definition of affordable housing is going to be
very different from the committee'.
D. Rose stated we should define affordable housing for Clarington and how to
achieve that. It would be valuable to have the developers' input.
W. Partner acknowledged this but stated developer's don't have to sit on the
committee.
M. Jones suggested looking at other advisory committee's requirements, and that
members likely have to be residents.
M. Jones and H. Masood to verify if a non-resident would be allowed to sit.
Councillor Woo to look at resume of a current member that may work with a
developer and is not a resident.
W. Partner asked if a shorter version of the test that can be taken for potential
candidates.
M. Jones and H. Masood looked into the matter following the meeting. At the time
of appointments, there was no requirement for committee members to be
residents. However it is possible to update the ToR to state members are required
to be residents. The Municipality's boards and committees do have this
requirement. However, even if the committee's ToR is updated, it will not remove
existing committee members that are non-residents. Removal can only be done
through Council or if non-resident committee members resign of their own accord.

Committee Meeting Minutes
June 14, 2023
4.2 Regarding Section 4.3 of the ToR:
The committee came to a consensus to keep this. The term will conclude at the
end of 2026. This is when emails will go out to reapply.
4.3 Regarding Section 4.6.4 of the ToR:
M. Taylor asked how often the committee would meet with other taskforces
W. Partner stated the committee has never met with the other taskforces
referenced. Either the Municipality of Clarington's CAO reaches out or A. Robbins
coordinates
Councillor Woo shared a Durham Region powerpoint regarding targets put
together by A. Robbins
Brief discussion on this powerpoint.
H. Masood has circulated the powerpoint slides.
M. Jones mentioned the taskforces referenced still exist, however it is unclear if
the CAO is still coordinating between the committee and the referenced taskforces.
W. Partner mentioned Councillor Woo should ask
Councillor Woo stated it is also an option to designate a person to coordinate such
as A. Robbins.
The committee came to a consensus to designate a person to coordinate.
4.4 Regarding Section 6.1 of the ToR:
W. Partner stated she thought quarterly was decided. Previously the committee
met monthly except for the summer. However nothing came out of it and many
members were frustrated.
P. Wirch stated quarterly didn't seem often enough
W. Partner mentioned there was also some frustration from committee members
that there wasn't a consistent staff person
M. Jones stated H. Masood and Amanda or himself will always be here moving
forward.

Thursday evenings were posed as an option because R. Hooper cannot make
Wednesdays.
M. Taylor stated she will not be able to make Thursdays due to a prior commitment
however she encouraged the committee to pick Thursdays if they work for
everyone else.
The committee came to a consensus to meet bi-monthly on Thursdays at 7pm.
4.5 Regarding Section 8 of the ToR:
D. Rose asked whether the committee should have an annual report or just report
when they have an item?
W. Partner asked Councillor Woo what council would want?
Councillor Woo stated in his opinion the committee should report at least once a
year.
P. Wirch asked whether it should be more flexible — i.e. just the committee
reporting to council in person and giving an update as opposed to something
written?
Councillor Woo stated it does not have to be written. Or it could be a PowerPoint
W. Partner liked this idea and asked Councillor Woo if Council reviews
suggestions for initiatives and activities from the committee whether they would be
acted upon?
Councillor Woo stated it would depend on what the committee is reporting on and
how Council can act. He stated it would be good to suggest to council and if it can't
be done by council then it would be good to work with A. Robbins to see what can
be done at the Regional level.
H Mire stated if the committee continues to report on movement over the years
and set targets that are measurable it might give a push. If the committee says
over the course of 4 years that there's been no movement then it would reflect
poorly.
Councillor Woo directed towards W. Partner that it was not good that previous
members were frustrated by the lack of movement.
W. Partner stated there was a point many members thought the committee should
dissolve.

Committee Meeting Minutes

D. Rose stated they would think council would want to see change.
W. Partner yes and in a timely fashion
The committee came to a consensus to present to council annually.
4.6 Regarding Section 2 of the ToR:
P. Wirch asked the other members whether for the first bullet should it say
"advocacy" rather than "support."
W. Partner stated the committee wants to support council in their decisions
P. Wirch stated it is possible to make it more direct
W. Partner stated the more direct the better.
P. Wirch stated for the fourth bullet they were not sure what the committee would
be doing to foster a greater understanding? He was trying to think what actions
each of these bullets would lead to and it wasn't clear to him for this one. He also
stated he wasn't sure what providing opportunities meant in the fifth bullet.
W. Partner stated that it is referring to when the committee previously had booths
at festivals and raising awareness about seniors housing and rentals because they
were very limited. She stated R. Hooper and herself would go to Beaverton,
Coburg and other places where different types of housing were built to see how
something similar could be done in Clarington. She stated there will be
opportunities like this that arise if any committee members would like to join.
P. Wirch stated perhaps the fifth bullet should say "address barriers to affordable
housing"
W. Partner stated perhaps "to remove barriers to accessible, affordable housing."
J Conroy stated the simpler language the better.
Councillor Woo stated he liked those changes.
The Committee came to consensus on the above changes.

consolidate and circulate. H. Masood to circulate relevant information on North
Village Secondary Plan.
D. Rose suggested before comments are formally sent that they are circulated to
the committee.
Discussion among committee members on definitions of affordable, ADUs and lack
of diversity of housing options.

5a. An introduction to Clarington Economic Development and Tourism -Andrew
Poray, Economic Development Manager and Ashlee Kielbiski, Economic
Development Coordinator, Invest Clarington
A. Poray introduced the Clarington Economic Development Division and reviewed
its history and purpose. He explained that the Division was formed 11 months ago
and includes five staff members. The Division focuses on creating an environment
in Clarington that supports the creation and retention of businesses, primarily
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington October 12, 2023
Page 55
focusing on providing support related to municipal services including permits,
applications, and grant programs. The Clarington Board of Trade was previously the
main organization that provided economic development support in the community.
Their role now primarily focuses on business promotion and retention. The two
organizations work in complimentary ways to ultimately strengthen the business
community in Clarington.
A. Poray answered questions from the Committee. Questions were asked about the
Division's ability to attract businesses, and the major barriers to business
development. The Division markets the Municipality to outside businesses and
highlights the Municipality's benefits. A lack of serviced land is a barrier to attracting
major investment. The Division is advocating for servicing and working with the
Region of Durham.
A. Poray highlighted the new Business Resource and Information Centre which is
currently being planned. Programming in the Centre is currently being determined in
consultation with the community. Committee members were encouraged to submit
comments or fill out the survey attached to this meeting's agenda to the Economic
Development team by Monday, October 16, 2023.
A. Kielbiski spoke about the Economic Development Division's tourism function.
The fall campaign is currently ongoing, with a focus on advertising outside of
Clarington to focus on bringing in net new collars into the community. Its theme is
agricultural experiences — pick your own, farms, and farm markets. Staff worked
with an influencer from Toronto, TO's Finest, to highlight apples and cider in
Clarington. Archibald Orchards, Geissberger Cider, and Lakeshore Cider were
highlighted. The video has been seen 200,000 times.
A. Kielbiski also spoke about agriculture's role as a key economic driver in the 2022
Economic Development Strategy. More consultation with the Committee will occur
in the future to determine concrete actions that can be taken to support the
agricultural community including by advancing agri-tech and agri-businesses. The
Economic Development team welcomes suggestions from the Committee as they
draft their 2024 work plan.
Henry thanked the Economic Development team for their presentation.
6. Business Arising from Previous Meeting
6a. Official Plan Review — Discussion Questions — All
A. Burke shared a discussion question with the Committee to obtain their early
feedback for the Official Plan Review. The question was: What are our community
values and priorities and how can we build on what we have?
The Committee noted that Clarington contains some of the most productive
farmland in Canada and therefore must protect this land from residential and
industrial development pressures. Development should focus on land that has
already been taken out of agricultural production, and strong mandates are needed
that prevent more land from being taken out of production. The Committee noted
that increased population has led to land speculation, which makes it difficult for
farmers to continue to choose to farm in Clarington. Conflicts with agricultural
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington October 12, 2023
Page 56
vehicles and personal vehicles have also increased as more residential
development occurs in rural areas.
The Committee noted that agriculture can bring the community together, bringing
the end user closer to their local food supply. Promoting agriculture and finding
ways to introduce consumers to farms through permitted uses like on -farm sales
increases the value of agriculture in the community. Better education around the
reality of farming is needed to address the urban -rural divide.
6b. AACC Work Plan 2023/2024 — All
The Committee considered the draft 2023/2024 work plan that was reviewed at the
previous meeting. A. Burke noted that this document would be referenced at the
next Committee meeting in preparation for the annual AACC update to Council.
023-014 Moved by Brenda Metcalf, Seconded by Richard Rekker
That the Committee adopts the draft Work Plan for the 202312024 years.
Carried
7. Correspondence, Council Items and Referrals
The following were circulated for information:
Letter from the Honourable Lisa Thompson, Minister of Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs regarding the Increasing Deadstock Capacity Initiative — August
28, 2023
Region of Durham media campaign notice regarding a reminder to share the
road with farm vehicles — September 5, 2023 (Durham Newsroom)
Committee members raised safety concerns with farm conflicts with cyclists, citing
an experience of a cyclist passing a moving farm vehicle on the righthand roadside
shoulder. The Committee requested assistance to get the word out that this is an
unsafe practice. This comment will be passed along to the staff liaison for the Active
Transportation and Safe Roads Advisory Committee.

quilts at 20 locations. A brochure will be printed shortly. In partnership with Durham
Farm Fresh, Durham Farm Connections has hired a coordinator to engage the

8d. Durham Agricultural Economic Development Update — A. De Vos
A. De Vos shared updates from Invest Durham. They released their annual report
on Growing Agriculture in Durham. A. De Vos and Stacey Jibb are presenting to
various groups on the initiative and will present to the Committee at the December
meeting. Invest Durham produced a video on the economic value chain of apples
featuring Wilmot, Algoma, and other orchards in Durham. The video will be used as
promotional and educational material to demonstrate the economic impact of the
apple industry. This month, Invest Durham is teaming up with Durham Tourism and
Durham Farm Fresh for a "Gather on the Farm" campaign with ads to support
shopping local.
8e. Council Update — Councillor Zwart
Councillor Zwart provided an update on relevant items on the October 16 General
Government Committee meeting agenda. This included a motion relating to
permission for backyard chickens, a request to construct a pipe under a municipal
road to irrigate an adjacent farm parcel and a motion to ban rodenticide use at
municipal facilities. The Committee reiterated the importance of rodenticides in farm
practices and the safety precautions farmers use to prevent contamination.
8f. Clarington Board of Trade — Bonnie Wrightman
B. Wrightman explained the function of the Clarington Board of Trade (CBOT),
which is to support the growth and goals of Clarington businesses. She noted that
agriculture is one of the top economic drivers in Clarington. CBOT has partnered
with local farmers over the past 25 years to educate the local business community,
celebrate and learn about agriculture, and tell the stories of farming in Clarington.
CBOT is working to coordinate a local agricultural roundtable with the Honourable
Lisa Thompson, Minister of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs. She thanked the
Committee for providing feedback to inform planning of the roundtable and
welcomes any additional comments. B. Wrightman will share the date of the
roundtable, once available.
CBOT is planning to bring back the Agricultural Summit, aiming for March 2024, and
is seeking potential topics. Past topics have included succession planning,
innovation and tech, and success stories of farmers both young and old. Potential
topics being considered are Al and building careers in agriculture. Comments can
be shared with Municipal staff or CBOT.

9a. Request for Council to endorse the Plant Based Treaty — A. Burke
A.Burke shared a request received by the Mayor's office. It requests that Council
sign the Plant Based Treaty initiative as an act to support climate change mitigation.
The Committee generally noted that providing options and choice is important, and
any limiting of animal agriculture is not advised. Livestock producers should not be
discriminated against. The underpinnings of the article were questioned, and the
Committee noted that it did not accurately represent farming practices in Clarington.
023-015 Moved by Richard Rekker, Seconded by Brenda Metcalf
That Clarington, having a diverse agricultural economy consisting of livestock and
crops, cannot support a motion that would hamper the agricultural community.

Information Centre by Monday, October 16, 2023. Comments can be forwarded to

storage facility located on the Oak Ridges Moraine and shared brochures from a
group opposing the project (Greenbelt Water Keepers). It was indicated that some,
but not all surrounding residents were informed about an information session that
took place on September 20, 2023.
The Committee noted that although the aim of the project appears beneficial, they
raised concerns about the choice of location on the Oak Ridges Moraine and the
lack of notice and communication with the community. Potential for pollution was
questioned. Staff shared the project website (Langmaid Energy Storage) and
contact (la ngmaid@powerplus. com).
