RE: Winter Warming Centre Extension of Hours
Thank you for your correspondence dated September 24, 2025,
regarding Resolution #C-191-25 and the request to extend hours for
the Winter Warming Centre in Clarington.
Durham Region remains committed to working collaboratively with
Clarington and all local area municipalities to ensure that Winter
Warming Centres can operate effectively across all communities. We
recognize the importance of providing safe, warm spaces for
individuals experiencing homelessness, especially during extreme
weather conditions.
The proposed extension of operational dates would have system-
wide implications for the Winter Warming Program, including staffing
requirements, resource allocation, and coordination among multiple
service providers. At this time, the Region will maintain a
standardized operating schedule for Winter Warming Centres,
running annually from December 1 to March 31.
While the extension of operating hours is an important consideration,
the Region must prioritize the allocation of any resources toward the
development of additional shelter beds, given the continued growth of
the By-Name List. Expanding system capacity remains essential to

Moved By: Councillor MacDonald Resolution Number: RES-2025-247
Seconded By: Councillor Ball
WHEREAS a 2025 CAA survey of 1,500 Ontario drivers found 73 per cent actually support the
use of speed cameras and 76 per cent say they deter speeding. A recent SickKids study also
found they cut speeding around Toronto schools nearly in half;
AND WHEREAS the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) who said “Employing
ASE tools has been proven to reduce speeding, change driver behaviour, and make our roads
safer for everyone — drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and especially children and other
vulnerable road users”;
AND WHEREAS the Town of Midland entered into legal and good faith implementation of
Provincially approved automated speed enforcement cameras to reduce speeds in our school
and community safety zones and has committed to the continued installation of traffic calming
infrastructure in our community whose funding source is fines from offenders rather than law
abiding taxpayers;
AND WHEREAS the Premier has announced his intention to introduce legislation to ban
automated speed enforcement;
BE IT resolved that Midland Council send this resolution expressing our opposition to any
attempts to usurp this community safety initiative in our community and that copies be
circulated to the MMAH, the MTO, AMO and Ontario Municipalities.

Re: Collection from IC&I Locations
Dear Mayor Foster,
In response to the request made by the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and
Parks (MECP), the Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) representing producers
obligated under the Ontario Blue Box Regulation consulted with municipalities and First
Nations to support consideration of a collaborative and effective approach to IC&I. This
included:
• August 15, 2025: consultation with municipalities on the draft approach;
• September 10, 2025: consultation with First Nations on the draft approach; and
• Between August 15 and September 10, 2025: the PROs considered feedback,
assessed implications to the common collection system (CCS) and reached
consensus on next steps.
As a result of these consultations, the PROs have agreed to allow the blending of eligible
source and IC&I blue box material at depots with producers and municipalities assuming
operational and financial responsibility for each party’s respective proportionate share of
the blended material. Due to several unresolvable challenges that emerged from the
analysis and stakeholder engagement, the PROs have determined that it is not possible to
provide curbside collection to IC&I locations in municipalities. An overview of these
challenges is provided below.
Capacity: The CCS was procured for eligible sources included in Initial and Transition
Reports. Further eligible communities with additional eligible sources were
subsequently added by the MECP in December 2022 and February 2024. With these
additions, the CCS has no remaining capacity for IC&I.
The CCS was procured to service eligible sources receiving collection prior to transition
and single-family households eligible for curbside collection of blue box material in 2026,
as reported in Initial and Transition Reports, plus allowances for natural growth based on
historical year-over-year growth. CCS procurement and the resulting contracts did not
include capacity for non-eligible source blue box material.
In response to requests from municipalities to provide sufficient time to prepare to service
IC&I locations, CCS capacity procured for eligible sources was ‘loaned’ to non -eligible
sources on a temporary basis during transition, on the understanding that the capacity
Page 15
2
would become available again for eligible sources entering the system in 2026 and going
forward.
Following the CCS procurement process, expansion of the MECP’s Transition Schedule and
the introduction of the MECP’s Outside-of-Transition Schedule added more eligible sources
to be serviced. The CCS capacity loaned to non-eligible sources during transition is
required to service the new eligible sources in 2026 and natural growth going forward.
The graph presented in Figure 1 illustrates the number of non-eligible sources serviced
during transition compared to the new eligible sources added since procurement, including
the impact of these new eligible sources on the procured CCS capacity.
Figure1: CCS Capacity Utilization
The Total Eligible Sources in 2026 (in the right bar) is greater than the Eligible Sources in
RFPs for which CCS services were procured (in the left bar) by the number of New Eligible
Sources since RFPs. In addition to the eligible sources detailed in Table 1, the CCS is
responsible for adding eligible sources arising from natural growth in 2027 and beyond. As
illustrated, the CCS has no surplus capacity for non-eligible sources.
Any additional stops or increased quantity per stop would jeopardize service to eligible
sources and may trigger the acquisition of additional collection vehicles. Procuring
additional collection vehicles would require 18 to 24 months lead time based on current
supply chain realities, leaving the CCS without sufficient collection vehicles to service the
eligible sources on January 1, 2026. This would impact resident collection services, which
compromises our commitment to provide a seamless transition to EPR for Ontarians.
Regulatory Obligation: Servicing IC&I creates risk for the CCS and producers in meeting
regulatory obligations.
The final step in the transition to full extended producer responsibility is taking place in
January 2026, requiring PROs to meet post-transition obligations set out in Ontario’s Blue
Box Regulation. This is a substantive change for the province of Ontario and requires
considerable effort.

Implementing CCS IC&I blue box services within the six-month timeframe provided by the
Minister on June 4, 2025 would create risk for disruption of services to eligible sources and
compromises the ability of PROs to meet the regulatory obligations of their producers.
Regulatory Obligation: IC&I material in performance reporting is contrary to the Ontario
Blue Box Regulation.
In developing the approach to IC&I services, PROs assumed that producers would not be
required to deduct IC&I material from reporting in the six performance categories. RPRA
has indicated that the Blue Box Regulation does not permit materials collected from the
IC&I sector to be counted towards producers’ performance requirements.
This poses a challenge as:
• Deducting IC&I from performance reporting significantly compromises the
reconciliation of blue box material picked up by each PRO with blue box material
supplied by each PRO’s producers in each of the six performance reporting
categories. This reconciliation process is already complex in meeting the regulatory
reporting timelines. Further complications to this process cannot be borne.
• Deducting IC&I from performance reporting substantially increases sampling and
auditing of collected materials which would further increase the preliminary cost
recovery rates well above private sector service options.
Timing: The CCS and municipalities cannot complete the required tasks by January 1,
2026.
Municipalities report there is insufficient time for staff to complete their review and
municipal councils to reach their decisions prior to the October 31, 2025 deadline for
execution of IC&I service agreements. The October 31, 2025 deadline for execution of IC&I
service agreements cannot be deferred given the January 1, 2026 timeline.
Eligibility: CCS cannot address the needs of IC&I locations serviced by municipalities.
CCS eligibility criteria for curb collection from IC&I are required to:
• Limit the amount of blue box material collected from IC&I locations as the CCS has
no surplus capacity.
• Predict the quantity set out by an IC&I location to ensure accurate cost recovery
rates to fully recover IC&I costs and to avoid charging producers for IC&I service
(i.e., IC&I locations cannot set out more than the cost recovery rate covers); and
• Align curbside service with CCS curbside collection contracts.
The implications of the eligibility criteria for municipal buildings, BIAs and other IC&I
locations are illustrated in the following table.
Page 17
4
Table 1: CCS IC&I Eligibility Criteria Implications
Feedback from municipalities on the August 15, 2025 proposal indicated many IC&I sources
do not meet the CCS eligibility requirements in the right column of Table 1. Municipalities
would need to seek alternative solutions for their IC&I locations that would not be eligible
as set out in the middle column of Table 1.
Costs: CCS cost recovery rates for small IC&I are higher than private sector quotes to
municipalities.
Preliminary estimated CCS cost recovery rates for small IC&I are substantially higher than
private sector costs being quoted to municipalities, according to recent media coverage,
for IC&I service.
These preliminary estimated CCS cost recovery rates are likely to increase as a result of
change notices to, and cost estimates from, affected CCS contractors. As final cost
recovery rates cannot be set until the change notice process is complete, any municipal
council decisions would be based on preliminary cost recovery rates that are subject to
adjustment. Such uncertainty further complicates council decision-making processes.
CCS cost recovery rates for larger IC&I cannot be calculated as the quantity per IC&I set
out cannot be predicted.
Alternative Options: Municipalities have other options to service IC&I.
Some municipalities have already contracted, or implemented procurement processes, for
IC&I services in 2026.
Municipalities can leverage ‘at the curb’ efficiencies in their garbage and organics
collection systems without encountering the complexity of EPR requirements.
The northern and rural communities identified by the MECP are already providing garbage
and blue box collection services for larger IC&I.
Establishing the CCS has resulted in a private company operating in each community on
the MECP’s Transition Schedule and Outside-of-Transition Schedule. Municipalities that did
not previously have a private sector option available in their community may now be able to
explore IC&I services from these companies.

Summary
We thank you for your feedback during the consultation process. After consultation and
analysis, system capacity limitations, current regulatory obligations, and time constraints
for both the CCS and municipalities make it impractical for the CCS to provide curbside
collection from IC&I locations.
While it is not feasible for the CCS to provide curbside collection from IC&I locations, PROs
have agreed to allow blending of eligible source and IC&I blue box material at depots with
physically sharing of responsibility by producers and municipalities. The CCS will pick up its
proportionate share of blue box material from required depots and will be responsible for
management of this material. The municipality will be responsible to haul, consolidate if
required and process the remaining blue box material accepted at the depot. Municipalities
should make the appropriate arrangements to do so prior to January 1, 2026.
Municipalities with IC&I locations provided with curbside collection of blue box material by
the CCS during transition should have alternative arrangements in place prior to January 1,
2026, as these IC&I stops will no longer be serviced by the CCS as of this date.
We welcome the opportunity to meet with you to address any questions.

To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario
WHEREAS Under Ontario Regulation 391/21:
•Blue Box producers are only responsible for recycling from eligible sources.•'Ineligible sources' such as businesses, places of worship, daycares, campgrounds, public-facing
municipal spaces, and non-profit organizations are excluded from producer responsibility.
This forces municipalities to either:
•Absorb 100% of the cost of recycling for these 'ineligible' sources, or•Discontinue recycling services to these vital community spaces and busi nesses.
We the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to amend Ontario Regulation 391/21 so that producers pick up all recycling materials (from both eligible and non-eligible sources), or direct or encourage producers and producer responsibility organizations (PROs) to allow for the commingled co-collection of recyclables from eligible and non-eligible sources within the same service streams.
