Dear Premier Ford:
Re: Proposal to End Daylight Savings Time in Ontario
Please be advised that the Council of the Township of Otonabee-South Monaghan at its
meeting on April 28th, 2025 passed the following resolution:
R107-2025
Moved by Councillor Terry Holmes
Seconded by Councillor Mark Allen
Whereas Ontario already has the legislative framework to end the antiquated practice
of Daylight Saving Time (DST), as per the Time Amendment Act of 2020 : But New York
has delayed us for over 4 long years.
And Whereas the Case for Ending DST immediately pertains to clear and present Health
and Public Safety concerns: Clock shifts spike heart attacks, accidents, and stress, per the
Canadian Society for Chronobiology. Kids lose focus, domestic violence rises, and
vulnerable folks—mentally ill, homeless, addicts—face unnecessary strain and relapse
risks. Indigenous health gaps deepen as DST clashes with traditions. Standard Time aligns
with nature, easing healthcare burdens and healthcare costs.
And Whereas ending DST is a clear and permanent assertion of the economic
independence of Ontario: Our new, post tariff economic reality exposes the reliance on
New York for our internal policy as outdated. Ontario should look out for Ontarians, and

our sovereignty must be asserted. Quebec already considers the change; so 15 million
Ontarians should not continue to wait on NY. Businesses will adapt; citizens will gain
stability. Over 100,000 petition voices and 70% of Ontarians agree. Ontario must take the
lead, and hopefully NY can eventually follow our lead for the good of their own people.
Therefore be it resolved that we request staff to distribute this communication to all the
Municipalities, Chiefs & Councils of Ontario in addition to the Premier of the Govt. of
Ontario and urge the Premier to:
1. Amend the Time Amendment Act 2020 to drop New York’s contingency,
effective immediately.
2. Set permanent Standard Time (EST) from November 2, 2025.
CARRIED.
Yours truly,
Township of Otonabee-South Monaghan

Vanessa Bilenduke-Guppy - Manager of Community Development and Events
& Members of Council – Municipality of Clarington
Re: Proposal from Bowmanville Farmers Market to host Saturday market downtown Bowmanville
Ms. Bilenduke-Guppy & Members of Council,
On Tuesday April 8, 2025, the Historic Downtown Bowmanville Business Improvement Area (BIA) welcomed Tijana
Bogdanovic, owner of Community Market Solutions and organizer of the Bowmanville Farmers Market, to present a
proposal to host a new Saturday vendor market in the downtown core of Bowmanville at the meeting of the Board of
Management of the BIA.
This proposal followed a request received in February for an opinion from the BIA regarding a proposed relocation of the
Bowmanville Farmers Market to the downtown core. The request was discussed at the February 11, 2025 Board of
Management meeting and the decision that the BIA did not support moving of this market downtown was provided to
the Manager of Community Development and Events, thereafter.
It is the responsibility of the BIA to advocate for its members and it is our belief that this vendor market operating within
the boundaries of the BIA presents numerous serious concerns. The mandate of the BIA is to promote its members and
the vendors and sponsors of this market result in direct competition for our members.
The following motions were carried at the April 8, 2025 meeting of the Board of Management.
Moved by G. Lucas, seconded by C. Holmes
THAT the BIA opposes the proposed relocation of the Bowmanville Farmers Market to the downtown core.
CARRIED
Moved By L. Holmes, seconded by E. Lucas
THAT the BIA opposes permits for any markets or events within the BIA boundaries without BIA prior
consultations and approval.
CARRIED
We appreciate the opportunity to provide insight on decisions that impact the downtown core and the livelihood of our
BIA member businesses.
Sincerely,
The Executive Board of the Historic Downtown Bowmanville BIA
