8.4.2 Item 6.1 - Correspondence from Steve Kay, Regarding a Memorial for Doug

Resolution # C-192-25

8.4.3 Item 8.1 - Elect Respect Pledge
Resolution # C-193-25
Moved by Councillor Traill
Seconded by Councillor Elhajjeh
Whereas democracy is healthy when everyone is able to participate fully and safely
and contribute to the well-being of their community;
And whereas we are witnessing the dissolution of democratic discourse and
respectful debate across all levels of government and in neighbouring jurisdictions;
And whereas Ontario’s municipally elected officials are dealing with increasingly
hostile, unsafe work environments, facing threats and harassment;
Page 17
September 22, 2025
Council Minutes
7
And whereas social media platforms have exacerbated disrespectful dialogue,
negative commentary, and toxic engagement, which disincentivize individuals,
especially women and candidates from diverse backgrounds, from running for
office;
And whereas better decisions are made when democracy is respectful and
constructive and the voices of diverse genders, identities, ethnicities , races, sexual
orientations, ages and abilities are heard and represented around municipal council
tables;
And whereas the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s Healthy Democracy
Project has identified concerning trends with fewer people voting in local elections
and running for municipal office;
And whereas, in 2024, female elected representatives from across Halton formed a
group called H.E.R. (Halton Elected Representatives), which pledged to speak out
against harassment and negativity in politics and call on elected officials to uphold
the highest standards of conduct;
And whereas H.E.R. Halton has launched a campaign called “Elect Respect” to
promote the importance of healthy democracy and safe, inclusive, respectful work
environments for all elected officials, which encourages individuals to participate in
the political process;
And whereas, on June 5, 2025, the Canadian Association of Feminist
Parliamentarians launched a non-partisan “Parliamentary Civility Pledge” to
encourage all parliamentarians to commit to ending workplace harassment and
increasing civility on Parliament Hill, modelled after the pledge developed in Halton
by representatives of H.E.R.;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the Municipality of Clarington
supports the Elect Respect pledge and commits to:
1. Treat each other, and others, with respect in all spaces—public, private, and
online,
2. Reject and call out harassment, abuse, and personal attacks,
3. Focus debate on ideas and policies, not personal attacks,
4. Help build a supportive culture where people of all backgrounds feel safe to
run for and hold office,
5. Call on relevant authorities to ensure the protection of elected officials who
face abuse or threats, and
6. Model integrity and respect by holding one another to the highest standards
of conduct.

The meeting was called to order at 6:32 p.m.
2. Land Acknowledgement Statement
L. Scherer shared a personalized Land Acknowledgement Statement.
3. Declarations of Interest
No declarations were made.
4. Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes
Moved by K. Brettell, seconded by B. Henn
That the minutes of April 8, 2025, and May 24, 2025, meetings be approved as presented.
Carried.
5. 2025 Accessibility Awards Recap
L. Scherer shared that she attended the event along with the staff liaison and that Grounded
Community Hub was the winner from Clarington. The guest speaker was Clare Kumar, who
Page 41
Page | 2
was a great speaker, however it was noted that elements of her presentation were better
suited for a different audience. It was also noted that dinner was good, however the utensils
were difficult to use with the bone-in chicken that was served.
J. Whynot shared that overall, the event was better than the previous year’s and there was a
significant improvement with the accessibility of the event. Committee members expressed
excitement for the improved accessibility and optimism for future events.
6. Accessibility Banners Discussion
J. Whynot shared that she would like to have new accessibility banners created and would like
the Committee’s input on their design and content. The intent is to use the banners in
Municipal facilities to promote awareness of accessibility to the community, especially during
key times of the year like National AccessAbility Week. For the banners to be long-lasting, it’s
important that they do not have dates and are more general in nature as opposed to promoting
a very specific day, like International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 3rd).
Members recommended that the banners utilize the design elements of the Together We Are
Clarington campaign because accessibility is one element of that campaign, so these banners
should visually tie into the larger campaign for cohesion. Members discussed using different
slogans or quotes in relation to different kinds of disabilities.
The Committee discussed using icons to represent different disabilities, however some
members expressed concerns that using disability specific imagery would lead to some people
feeling excluded. Others noted that icons and imagery reduce language and communication
barriers. The Committee expressed preference for including disability facts or statistics along
with short one-line phrases and capturing graphics.
Next steps:
L. Scherer asked that committee members send their ideas to her by October 3rd so they can
be shared with the staff liaison. J. Whynot will share their feedback with the design team and
provide an update at a future meeting.
7. Priorities for Remainder of AAC Term
L. Scherer opened a discussion on what their priorities are for the remainder of their term. K.
Brettell shared that he is interested in looking at ways to make residential street parking more
accessible for people with disabilities. L. Scherer shared that she would like to look at making
paid on-street and off-street parking more accessible by exempting cars with accessible
permits from paying.
J. Whynot advised that these are excellent examples of recommendations the committee can
make to Council per their Terms of Reference. However, members who are interested in
working on these recommendations will need to conduct research and report back to the
Committee with a draft motion. J. Whynot recommended that anyone who is interested in
Page 42
Page | 3
working on either of the parking recommendations will meet separately as a working group and
bring their research and draft motion to a future meeting for discussion.
8. New Member Introduction
L. Scherer introduced the Committee’s newest member, Jagmeet. Members briefly introduced
themselves and welcomed him to the Committee.
9. Staff Updates
J. Whynot shared that with Halloween approaching she will be sharing information about
accessible trick-or-treating in the upcoming weeks. Lawn signs will be available at some
facilities and Treat Accessibly information banners will be put up at facilities as well.
Additionally, she will be promoting Treat Accessibly at Bowmanville AppleFest on October 18th
and welcomed members to join her if they are available.
J. Whynot asked the Committee for ideas on recognizing December 3rd – International Day of
Persons with Disabilities. Social media posts highlighting municipal accessibility initiatives,
collaboration with other AACs and an open mic night or talent show for people with disabilities
were proposed. B. Henn and L. Scherer will explore the feasibility of an open mic or talent
show through a working group.
J. Whynot provided a brief update on current projects. The recently completed adult change
tables installed at municipal facilities were highlighted.
Through the discussion, B. Henn recommended the municipality acquire sound admitting
soccer or multi-sport balls to make programming more inclusive for people with vision loss. J.
Whynot advised it was an excellent recommendation and she will investigate it.
10. Other Business
Councillor Traill shared she is making progress with having the property owner add additional
accessible parking spaces at Metro in Bowmanville.
11. Next AAC Meeting.
Either Wednesday October 22 or October 29th, 2025, 6:30pm. Hybrid format. J. Whynot will

Clarington Heritage Committee Meeting Minutes
September 16, 2025
- 2 -
5 Delegations/Presentations:
5.1 Maple Grove United Church, Rick McEachern, Sarah Gearing:
R. McEachern presented information on the history of Maple Grove United Church. It
was constructed in 1872 as a joint Bible Christian and Methodist Church and became
part of the United Church of Canada in 1925. The building ceased operations on August
28, 2025, after 153 years of service.
The property is currently listed as a Secondary resource on Clarington’s Cultural
Heritage Resources List (CHRL). Concerns were raised by R. McEachern regarding the
building’s future, including the removal of approximately 100 historic pews the day after
the property changed ownership. These pews were originally sourced from the Old
Royal Theatre in Bowmanville and may contain cast iron components manufactured
locally.
S. Gearing presented information on the church being identified as a community hub,
having hosted Sunday school, youth groups, Canadian Club meetings, Scouts Canada,
Women’s Institute events, and harvest suppers. The architectural features of the church
were described by S. Gearing, including its Gothic Revival design, rectangular nave,
pointed arch windows, original woodwork, stained glass windows, and a name stone
inscribed “ME Church 1872.”
R. McEachern mentioned that First Nations encampments may have historically been
present near the property, and S. Gearing has reached out to local First Nations for
confirmation.
A historical letter written by Edna Laird in 1999 was submitted to the Committee,
providing additional context on the Church’s role in the community and its cultural
significance.
5.2 Maple Grove United Church, Melissa Whitefield:
M. Whitefield presented her own evaluation of the Maple Grove United Church property
against the criteria outlined in Ontario Regulation 9/06 under the Ontario Heritage Act.
M. Whitefield provided an explanation of how the property satisfies criteria required for
designation, in the areas of design/physical value, historical/associative value, and
contextual value, and noted that the property is a representative example of rural Gothic
Revival architecture that is associated with the growth of Methodism in rural Ontario,
and acts as a landmark within the rural landscape.
M. Whitefield concluded by urging the Committee to recommend full heritage
designation.
5.3 98 Concession Street East, Heritage Impact Assessment and Conservation
Management Plan, Vincent Santamaura, Principal Architect :
V. Santamaura described the property at 98 Concession Street East as a late 1920s
Prairie-style residence known as the Superintendent’s House. The building features
symmetrical massing, one-storey wings, and a central block. Interior elements include

Clarington Heritage Committee Meeting Minutes

original wood trim, radiators, and a fireplace. The house is currently listed on the
Municipal Register under Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
V. Santamaura presented a proposal to relocate the dwelling forward on the site to
enhance its visibility and preserve its standalone character. The proposed development
concept includes subdividing the house into two semi-detached units, removing later
20th-century additions, and constructing new additions at the rear. The front façade and
architectural integrity of the original structure would be retained. The proposed
development includes a total of 18 residential units, with the heritage dwelling fronti ng
the street and townhouse blocks behind.
The internal garage, located in the basement, was acknowledged as a unique heritage
feature. However, it was stated that it would likely not be conserved due to site
constraints. V. Santamaura indicated that new garages would be constructed at the rear
of the property to maintain the concept of integrated parking.
It was discussed that property owner supports designation but prefers that it occur
following development approval.
The purpose of the delegation was to receive any high-level feedback from the CHC on
the concept ahead of the submission of the development applications.
5.4 Permanent lights for Newcastle Community Hall: Janeen Rowsell, NCH Board
Chair and Chris Wilson, Vibe Illuminations:
A proposal was presented by J. Roswell to install permanent exterior lighting on the
Newcastle Community Hall, a municipally owned building with heritage designation. The
purpose of the lighting system is to enhance visibility, improve security, and support
seasonal and community celebrations.
The proposed system consists of programmable LED lighting strips affixed to the
building’s façade, including around windows and along rooflines.
C. Wilson of Vibe Illuminations presented that the lighting system would be minimally
invasive, with options for adhesive or mortar -mounted tracks. The system is marketed
as permanent but fully removable without damage to the building. Colour -matching and
discreet placement were proposed to ensur e visual compatibility with the building’s
heritage character during daylight hours.
6 Business Arising
6.1 GGC Meeting regarding Camp 30:
Staff provided an update on the status of the Cafeteria Building at Camp 30, noting that
Council had deferred the June report to October to allow time for further input from the
Heritage Committee and the Jury Lands Foundation. The committee was informed that
new engineering assessments revealed further structural deterioration, including roof
collapse and bowing walls. A second perimeter fence was installed due to safety
concerns, and staff confirmed that no one, including municipal staff, is permitted to enter
the building.

Committee members expressed disappointment that the engineering consultants had
not invited the Heritage Committee or Jury Lands Foundation to participate in the site
visit. A site visit was suggested but deemed unsafe. Staff recommended reviewing the
September engineering report, which includes updated photos and findings.
It was clarified that updated cost estimates for stabilization and demolition would be
presented to the Planning and Development Committee on October 20 th, 2025. The
Committee acknowledged the worsening condition of the building. Members reaffirmed
that their role is to assess heritage value, not financial viability , and emphasized the
importance of maintaining their original motion, which supports restoration and opposes
demolition.
The Committee agreed that its previous motion from June should stand and that no new
motion was necessary at this time. Committee minutes from the meeting will be
forwarded to Council for consideration ahead of the October 20 PDC meeting.
7 Project Reports
7.1 Subcommittee reports
- Municipal Inventory/Register: Committee members inquired about the
appropriate timing for submitting additional evaluations from the Evaluation
Subcommittee. Staff confirmed there is no objection to the Subcommittee
presenting these evaluations while emphasizing the importance of completing
the current list of properties under review. A selection of properties from the
Subcommittee will be introduced at upcoming CHC meetings
7.2 Public Outreach/Education – No updates.
8 Correspondence and Council Referrals:
8.1 National Trust Conference 2025 (Halifax)
25.50 Moved by V. Suppan, seconded by S. Elhajjeh.

9 New Business:
9.1 Maple Grove United Church
The Committee confirmed with Staff that neither the previous nor the current owners of
the property submitted a request for consideration of full designation under the Ontario
Heritage Act.
It was noted that the property is currently zoned for use as a place of worship . Staff also
confirmed that the property is listed as a Secondary Resource on Clarington’s Cultural
Heritage Resource List, and that no planning applications for a change of use or
demolition have been submitted to date.

Committee members reflected on the closure of historic churches across Canada and
the ongoing challenges of maintaining such buildings in the absence of active
congregations.
Committee members noted an understanding that the church pews were voluntarily
offered by the current property owners. Several of these pews have already been
accepted by the Clarington Museum.
The Committee emphasized the importance of clear communication with the local
Muslim community, stressing that heritage protection efforts should not be interpreted
as a restriction on the religious use or ownership of the building.
Staff confirmed that they have been in communication with the Board Chair of the
incoming congregation and have outlined the next steps in the evaluation process. Staff
also reiterated that the Committee and Staff are following the same process for this
property as they do for all properties listed on the Clarington’s Cultural Heritage
Resource List.
25.51 Moved by V. Suppan, seconded by J. Dalrymple
That the Committee receive the information and thank the delegates and Maple Grove
Community members for providing information.
“Carried”
9.2 98 Concession Street East, Heritage Impact Assessment and Conservation
Management Plan
Committee members raised concerns regarding the interior subdivision of the dwelling,
the potential loss of interior features, and the relocation of the structure. Concerns were
also raised about a loss of the street front and the cultural landscape in relation to Camp
30 nearby. The Prairie-style design was noted as rare in Bowmanville, and the garage
was identified as a significant heritage attribute. The Committee emphasized the
importance of identifying and protecting heritage features prior to development.
Staff provided context that property owners were supportive of conserving the property
to the extent that they can through the development process but were not supportive of
moving forward with designation prior to redevelopment. Staff have worked with the
applicant to evolve the concept to ensure the heritage dwelling would continue to stand
A member raised the recommendation for a formal designation by-law as there is more
onus on the owner to protect the identified heritage attributes.
25.52 Moved by V. Suppan, seconded by S. Elhajjeh.
That the Committee recommends the property be designated under the Ontario
Heritage Act prior to the approval of any development applications.

The Committee discussed potential impacts on the building’s wood windows and
architectural features. Concerns were raised about water damage if lighting tracks were
installed directly on wooden sills. It was recommended that installation avoid direct
contact with wood and that alternative mounting locations be considered.
The Committee also discussed the cultural heritage landscape of the four corners in
Newcastle and the potential visual imbalance if only one building is illuminated .
The lighting system was acknowledged as a potential improvement over temporary
seasonal lighting, which requires annual installation and removal .
25.53 Moved by V. Suppan, seconded by J. Moore.
That the Committee support the installation of the lighting system as a minor alteration
to the property, subject to the following:
- Lighting strips be small and discreet.
- Installation avoids compromising wood windows or other heritage features.
- Lighting be used primarily for security and seasonal purposes.
- The system be consistent with the building’s landmark status and heritage
character.
“Carried”
9.4 PC2025-0026 2656 Concession Road 4 Heritage Impact Assessment
The Committee reviewed the proposed fire station and training centre development
application at 2656 Concession Road 4, which includes a designated heritage
farmhouse.
The Committee expressed concerns with the proximity of the facility to the heritage
house, noting that the designated heritage farmhouse was being visually and physically
overwhelmed. Members suggested severing the house from the development parcel to
preserve its contextual value.
Members disagreed with the HIA’s conclusion that the property lacks landmark status,
pointing out that the house is the only residential structure at the four corners
intersection and is thus clearly recognizable. Members disagreed with the HIA’s
assessment of craftsmanship, citing overlooked features such as basement stonework
and maple leaf motifs on the entrance.
The absence of an adaptive reuse plan was also raised. Members emphasized that
without a reuse strategy, the building risks vacancy and deterioration. Staff confirmed
that options are still being explored and acknowledged the potential for municipal or
training-related uses.
The Committee questioned the scale of parking, noting it contributes to
overdevelopment and further encroachment on the cultural heritage setting.

Overall, the Committee felt the proposal was disrespectful of the heritage property’s
value and context. Comments will be forwarded to the project team for consideration in
the next iteration of the site plan and HIA.
9.5 Property evaluation for consideration: 75 Wellington Street, Bowmanville
Committee members expressed concern that the previously shared Cultural Heritage
Assessment report failed to recognize key historical and architectural features as
reasons for designation. The report identified two criteria: architectural features and
contextual value, which members felt were insufficient to justify designation.
Members emphasized the historical importance of the White brothers, prominent
stonemasons who built several notable stone homes in Bowmanville. One of the White
brothers lived at 75 Wellington Street, which adds historical and associative value not
captured in the report. Members of the Committee disagreed with the consultant’s
assessment that the property lacked craftsmanship and landmark status, citing visible
architectural features and its prominent location at a four-corner intersection in Salem.
Concerns were raised about the use of the fire insurance plans (1911–1921) in the
report’s research. A Committee member recommended referencing earlier plans (1888 –
1904) to better determine the building’s construction date.
Staff acknowledged the need to integrate Committee-sourced historical context into the
designation process and proposed developing a method to attach supplemental
Committee findings to the official designation documentation.
The Committee requested this item be discussed further at the next meeting.

3. PRESENTATION – Durham Rural Cycling – Kristyn Chambers, Rural Tourism
Specialist
Kristyn introduced herself and explained the Rural Cycle Tourism program.
The program has been created to help develop rural Durham Region into a
cycling destination with the formation of rural on-road cycling loops and online
promotion – DurhamTourism.ca/Cycling
The routes are broken down into different difficulties of leisure, intermediate
and advanced, to attract cyclists of different experience levels.
Durham Tourism has been working in collaboration with the Ontario by Bike
Certification Program to help increase cycle tourism in the rural areas. Ontario
by Bike certifies businesses and locations as bicycle friendly, helping them to
tap into the growing cycle tourism market and attracting more cyclists to their
location. There are currently almost 100 tourism related businesses that have
already become certified with Ontario by Bike. The program requires
businesses to meet certain criteria which include access to bicycle racks with
proper points to secure your bike, access to food and water, washroom
facilities, bike repair kit, first aid etc.
Currently in the process of implementing a rural cycling route wayfinding
signage program within north Durham, in consultation with the townships of
Scugog, Brock and Uxbridge. Durham Tourism continues to work on this
project with Transportation Options, a not-for-profit organization that supports
Ontario by Bike. The wayfinding strategy includes signage audit, signage
design, and sign installation, fabrication and maintenance. The rural cycling
routes will be mapped and signed appropriately to allow visitors to the area to
have a seamless experience when navigating to the numerous tourist
destinations along the route. Included will also be directional signage for
points of interest such as downtowns, parks and marinas.
Durhamtourism.ca/cycling – Four loops have been created for Clarington and
are included in this site. These routes were created with the help of Jim
Boate.
Lori – Asked whether the routes connect to trails and if the route maps could
be accessed through a website.
The routes only include on-road routes, but Strava or Ride with GPS could
assist cyclists in meeting up with the many trails. Krystyn will investigate
possibly adding these routes to a web page so they can be accessed other
than through Strava or Ride with GPS.

P a g e 3 | 6
Krystyn let the committee know that they are open to any suggestions that the
members might have to improve the routes, add additional routes etc.
Ron – Asked about connections between the routes.
Connections between the north and south routes will be looked at in the
future to try and promote a smooth transition from one route to another and
from one municipality or township to another.
4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1 June 19th Meeting Follow Up Items:
4.1.1 Bike Repair Station Signage – West Beach Road Conservation
Area - Rick
Completed.
4.1.2 Safety Improvement Suggestions – West Beach Road –
Meeting with Slav - Bart
See 4.3
4.1.3 Winter Access to Waterfront Trail from Baseline Road -
Lori/Rick
Waiting for staff report to Council on consideration and cost.
4.1.4 Tooley Mill Park Items – Jim/Josh
Josh – Discussion on site was very productive and there are some
items that can be addressed at this time, and some will be looked
at for future items to be included in the Capital Budget.
4.2 Board and Committee Meeting Recording Policy
No issues. Accepted for information.
4.3 Update Re: Meeting with Slav (4.1.2) - Lori
Lori – Rick and I and Richard met virtually with Slav to discuss this section of
the waterfront trail that goes out onto West Beach Road. The bollards make it
more dangerous, and the speed limits are too high. Slav was not very
receptive and didn’t have options to provide going forward. The Municipality
staff have cut back the brush where the trail goes south to the dog park, so
that’s helpful. The area is still very narrow, and speeds are high. A speed
camera was installed directed towards the east, but the data is not available
yet. The speed bumps were removed and have not been re-installed.
Page 61
P a g e 4 | 6
Connor – When the cameras come down it takes a while to review the data.
Connor will also be reviewing the Strava data as well. From the meeting it’s
kind of a wait and hold position to see how fast the speeds are.
Rick – He received an email notice from the Municipality regarding the
installing of permanent speed bumps on Simpson Avenue. The speed bumps
that were being used were defective and the fastening devices weren’t
working. He is wondering why permanent ones aren’t being installed on West
Beach Road at the same time. Item to be placed on next agenda.
Lori – The speed bumps were re-installed on Mill Street, why not West Beach
Road? The eastern part of West Beach Road, towards the marina, the
Municipality has installed some speed control boxes, and they have helped to
slow down the traffic.
4.4 Durham Region Active Transportation Update - Connor
No update today, as the meeting is being held after today.
4.5 Applefest Event Update and Volunteers – Lori
Lori – Approval has been given have a booth set up and she did request
another location but was told that they cannot provide special placement, so it
will probably be located near the library again. She will be unable to
participate that day (October 18th) and is looking for volunteers to help set up,
take down, and man the booth. Rick can help, Richard may be able to help
with takedown, and Debbie can probably help in the afternoon. Rick will
coordinate the setup and is also willing to help in the afternoon if needed. He
has a ride in the morning and would really like to participate in that if possible.
Connor might be able to float once he knows his schedule for the day. Ron
can help with setup, but then he oversees entertainment for the day. Lori will
put out an email to the group to organize.
4.6 Active Transportation Master Plan Update – Josh
Nothing has changed since the last meeting so there are no updates
currently. Councillor Elhajjeh had indicated at the last meeting that he would
follow up with staff to try and assist in movement. Josh will reach out for an
update and copy Rick and Connor on the email. Some of the committee
members believe that the project seems to be stalled and they are becoming
concerned.
4.7 Waterfront Trail Safety Concern – Richard
Richard – Concerned with the section of the trail behind the Wilmot Creek
community; the section of trail that comes over from Bennett Road over to
South Service Road and up to Cobbledick and into the Wilmot Creek
Conservation Area. When you get off the trail at the South Service Road there
is a section of a couple of feet that is gravel. He is not sure who has
jurisdiction in this area, but he has safety concerns with cyclists turning at the
Page 62
P a g e 5 | 6
point where you turn onto the trail. It is a very popular and well-used section
of the Waterfront Trail. Would like to see asphalt put down.
Josh – Asked Richard to submit a Service Request for the Public Works
Department. Rick will submit the request, and Josh will send him the link by
email.
Rick - The area is more sand than gravel and it is very slippery.
Lori - Thank you to the Municipality for repairing the west part of the trail
between Bowmanville Avenue and the section connecting to West Beach.
Very well done.
4.8 In-Person Meetings – Committee to Vote on Options
Rick – At the last meeting, according to the minutes, it seemed that most
people were in favour of a once-a-year meeting in person when the weather
is decent. Rick polled each of the members:
Richard – in support
Ron – in support
Connor – in support
Lori – okay with virtual, but is okay with in-person once a year
Debbie – in support
Rick – in support
Catherine and Josh – in support
Rick will coordinate with Catherine and Josh the booking of a meeting room at
the Town Hall to accommodate the next meeting in a hybrid session.
4.9 Project Updates – Josh
Josh – The Region’s Regional Road 57/Bowmanville Avenue roadworks
tender has closed, and they are in the midst of awarding the contract. Part of
that contract includes a MUP (Multi-Use Path) from Baseline Road up to
Highway 2. The tunnel under Regional Road 57 is included in the
rehabilitation. The Region is still getting ready to tender their Liberty Street
North construction project. The design of the MUP on Baseline Road from
Green Road to Regional Road 57 is well underway. The Hetherington
stormwater outfall works design has been awarded, but there are
archaeological studies to be completed prior to commencement of
construction. Josh will keep the committee updated with any construction
impacts to the trail such as closures, detours etc.
Page 63
P a g e 6 | 6
Rick – Would the tunnel replacement would involve a square concrete
structure?
Josh – He is unsure of the extent of the work that is to be completed, but
there is extensive work that will be done. Josh will confirm the extent of the
construction for the update at the next meeting.
Richard – The switchback is a great alternative to using the tunnel.
5. OTHER BUSINESS
Ron – He has concerns with what goes on during the fishing season and the impact
to active trails and the area. There are a significant number of unsafe practices that
are going on with supposed fishermen that are utilizing our roads and totally unsafe
practices. Vehicles were parked angled on the boulevard coming out onto Roenigk
hill and all the way down both sides of the road, down the valley, into the valley all
along the entrance, and all throughout the parking lot. The area is supposed to
attract our residents who pay for that, and the people who are coming there have
complete disrespect for our trail system and are destroying the area. They leave
garbage everywhere, defecate in the woods, dead fish etc. and it is absolutely
disgusting. The whole environment is embarrassing and is being destroyed and is
unsafe for residents who live here and those who are visiting. You can’t even walk or
ride your bike through there due to the smell of dead fish etc. Riding through there
during the Terry Fox Run was an absolute embarrassment. We spend all this money
making it such a beautiful place for residents and visitors, and these people are
destroying it.
Rick – The committee was forwarded an email regarding the Durham Region Bicycle
Parking Guidelines Project and a Public Information Centre that is taking place in
Whitby on September 25th. Rick encouraged members to attend.
Lori – There was a large group of people in the Bowmanville Valley today picking up
garbage and cleaning up the area.

a. Monarch Tagging Event – all
• Carmen described the event as a great success, highlighting the
wonderful turnout across all age groups.
• Rod echoed this sentiment, noting that the event was well received by
attendees and overall, a very positive experience.
• Leah felt the new location at the Cobbledick Rd. entrance was a strong
choice, offering ample tagging opportunities. She was pleased to see such
a large crowd.
• Brian also praised the new location, calling it a major success. A total of
205 monarchs were tagged during the event, with Brian and a friend
tagging an additional 117 the following day. He suggested improvements
for next year, including better signage along the pathway, mapping the
area for table placement etc. in advance, and renting only one port-a-
potty. He also shared a website with Ken for purchasing 25 –30 nets ahead
of the next tagging season.
• Councillor Zwart was impressed by the event’s success and agreed that
increasing the number of nets would enhance tagging efficiency.
• Meg supported the idea of acquiring more nets for future events and
appreciated the strong turnout from all age groups.
• Tom felt the location worked well and saw the event as an excellent
educational opportunity and a meaningful way for the committee to
connect with the public. He collaborated with the Orono Times before and
during the event, and an article is expected in t he upcoming edition. Tom
also appreciated the extra tables provided by the Municipality and noted
that the button-making station offered a valuable hands-on activity for
participants waiting to tag.
Page 66
b. Canadian Wildlife Federation Right of Way Program – Brian Reid
• Ken and Brian are scheduled to attend a meeting hosted by the Canadian
Wildlife Federation’s Right of Way Program. The organization has
expressed interest in learning more about SWNA’s recent greening efforts
within the designated hydro corridor and possibly partnering with us in the
future. Brian will provide an update in a future SWNA meeting.
Q4
a. Photo Contest – Kayla Stephens
• Kayla presented the rules and guidelines for the upcoming photography
contest. The group discussed key aspects including submission deadlines,

9. Other Business
a. Nature Education Program - Lou Itier
• In progress – will provide update at the next meeting.
10. Roundtable – all
• Meg shared that during her regular visits to the beach area, it appeared
relatively clean with minimal garbage. She observed a high number of anglers
and trail users, likely due to the salmon spawning season, and suggested
inviting OFAH (Ben) to participate in a future event.
• Brian reported that a waste receptacle is missing at the Toronto Street
lookout. He also expressed enthusiasm about the progress made in monarch
tagging so far.
• Leah noted continued success with tagging efforts on the Cobbledick side of
the nature area.
• Rod highlighted the noticeable increase in trail users.
• Carmen confirmed with the committee he will continue to tag monarchs over
the coming weeks and shared his excitement about the salmon run currently
underway.
• Lou mentioned seeing signs that may indicate an unsheltered individual
residing at the beach.
• Ken confirmed that he contacted bylaw enforcement to assess the
area.
• Tom reported continued monarch activity and expressed
enthusiasm about the recent salmon activity. He also noted the
presence of toilet paper in the nature area, likely left by anglers due
to the seasonal increase in visitors.
• Jennifer extended her appreciation to the committee for their
ongoing dedication to maintaining and enhancing the Nature Area.
• Councillor Zwart inquired about the possibility of installing a
permanent outhouse in the nature area. Ken clarified that such a
structure would not comply with current bylaw regulations.
• Rod reminded the committee about the upcoming Marigold Hospice
Walk & Bike event scheduled for Sunday, September 21, and
encouraged members to take part. It was also noted that Leo will
be attending the event.

Report FSD-036-25
Report Overview
To request authorization from Council to award CL2025-49 for the supply and delivery of six
single axle combo plow trucks.
1. Background
1.1 This report is requesting Council approval for an award that exceeds the approved
budget by 10% in accordance with Council Policy 104, Financial Control, Section
5.16.1.
1.2 In 2025, Council provided 2027 pre-budget approval to order six single axle cab and
chassis, as approved in Report FSD-003-25. This pre-approval was provided due to the
historical lead time in receiving this type of vehicle.
1.3 The Public Works Division requires six new single axle combo plow trucks as soon as
possible, four are replacement units and two are new to service growth. The plow trucks
that are currently in use are from 2012, 2013 and 2014 and are past their ten -year life
cycle, with significant repairs and subsequent downtime.
1.4 The Public Works Division is also currently awaiting the delivery of single and tandem
axle plow trucks that were procured through contracts awarded in 2022, 2023, and
2024. Four tandem axle plow trucks and three single axle plow trucks are expected to
be completed in the third and fourth quarters of 2026.
1.5 The new single axle combo plow trucks are essential for winter road maintenance,
including snow removal and metered application of salt/sand to improve traction and
clear ice during winter weather events. These trucks increase travel safety for both
residents and visitors driving within the municipality and help ensure roads remain
accessible for emergency services. Outside of the winter season, the trucks are utilized
by the Parks and Roads operations of the Public Works Division to transport materials
such as gravel and soil to various jobsites throughout the municipality.
1.6 Tender specifications for the Supply and Delivery of Single Axle Combo Plow Trucks
were prepared by the Public Works Division and provided to the Procurement Services
Division.
1.7 Tender CL2025-49 was issued by the Procurement Services Division and advertised
electronically on the Municipality’s website.
1.8 Ten plan takers downloaded the tender document.
1.9 The tender closed on October 10, 2025.
Page 76

Report FSD-036-25
2. Analysis
2.1 Two bids were received in response to the tender call.
2.2 The bids were reviewed and tabulated by the Procurement Services Division (see
Attachment 1) and deemed compliant. All bids received were over budget. The results
were forwarded to the Public Works Division for their review and consideration.
2.3 The cost exceeds the pre-approved budget. The Procurement Services Division and
Public Works Division reviewed pricing. The increased costs are attributed to current
market volatility, exchange rates and steel surcharges. Specifications also included a
prewet system, spreader controller, and auto greaser that will enhance t ruck
functionality, reduce maintenance costs and lead to cost savings on winter material
application.
2.4 The single axle combination plow trucks are scheduled for completion in the first and
second quarters of 2026, which is significantly earlier than historical lead times,
averaging approximately three years.
2.5 After review and analysis by the Public Works Division and the Procurement Services
Division, it was mutually agreed that the low-compliant bidder, Everest Equipment, be
recommended for the award of tender CL2025-49 for the supply and delivery of six
single axle combo plow trucks.
2.6 Everest Equipment has not worked for the Municipality of Clarington in the past and
references were satisfactory.
3. Financial Considerations
3.1 In 2025, Council provided 2027 pre-budget approval to order six single axle cab and
chassis, as approved in Report FSD-003-25.

Report LGS-039-25
Report Overview
Approximately 55 affordable residential units are anticipated as part of the development of
1697 and 1701 Highway 2, Courtice, and an agreement requiring that they remain affordable
for 25 years is required pursuant to section 4.1 of the Development Charges Act and Section
42 (3.0.3) of the Planning Act as part of the exemption of development charges and parkland
dedication requirements for the affordable units.
1. Background
Development Proposal
1.1 The owner of 1697 and 1701 Highway 2, Courtice (the “Owner”) has proposed a
development which includes an intention that approximately 55 residential units across
all phases of development be affordable rental units for a period of 25 years.
1.2 The plan consists of three buildings between 4-6 storeys, containing a total 138
residential units and 485 square metres of commercial space. The site would be
accessed off Avondale Drive and the future extension of Richard Gay Boulevard. The
site includes surface parking, a pedestrian path along the east of the site, indoor and
outdoor amenity space, and landscaping.
1.3 The applicant has indicated that the proposal would be for an affordable seniors’ living
complex, offering various activities, wellness seminars, etc. The commercial use is
contemplated for only one of the buildings and tenants for the commercial units would
be suited to meet the immediate needs of the residents on site.
1.4 The subject site is located within the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan Area which
was implemented to facilitate a more urban, dense, mixed use and transit supportive
environment. It was a long-term vision for the Courtice Area to provide guidance for a
main street or main central area for Courtice while also recognizing the natural
environment and existing built forms by allowing for the gradual change over time. The
Secondary Plan was Adopted in 2014, and an implementing Zoning By-law was also
approved for the area in 2018. Offering affordable rental uni ts is in keeping with the
vision and objectives of the Secondary Plan.
Legislative Requirement
1.5 Section 4.1 was added to the Development Charges Act (the “Act”) effective June 1,
2024, and provided that residential units that are intended to be affordable residential
units for a period of 25 years are exempt from development charges and subsection
Page 82
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report LGS-039-25
42(3.03) was added to the Planning Act to provide a similar exemption for parkland
dedication requirements.
1.6 Section 4.1 also requires that an agreement be entered into with the Municipality
requiring that the units remain affordable for 25 years as part of obtaining the
exemption.
1.7 The Act does not allow the Municipality to refuse to enter into an agreement regarding
the exemption, but it does provide an opportunity for the Municipality to set the terms of
the agreement.
2. Discussion
Municipal Interest in Encouraging Affordable Housing
2.1 Municipal staff have engaged with the Owner and The Regional Municipality of Durham
(the “Region”) to ensure that a potential agreement can protect municipal and regional
interests while also encouraging the development of affordable housing in Clarington.
2.2 Municipal staff anticipate bringing a report to Council following the execution of this
agreement with a proposal to standardise a process for future agreements,
incorporating the lessons learned through this process to make future applications
more efficient and streamlined.
Protections for the Municipality
2.3 Municipal staff propose to include certain protections in the agreement in the event that
the units fail to remain affordable for 25 years, including securing a mortgage against
the property for the exempt development charges and parkland payments, requiring
annual reporting from the Owner on compliance with the applicable regulations and
registration of the agreement on title to the property.
2.4 Municipal staff feel that the proposed protections will create a significant incentive for
continued compliance with the intentions of the legislation and the protection of the
affordable status of the units.
2.5 The Development Charges Act provides in subsection 4.1(13) that the agreement “may
be registered against the land to which it applies and the municipality is entitled to
enforce the provisions of the agreement against the owner and… subsequent owners
of the land”. The proposed approach to the agreement outlined above would make use
of this power to further protect the affordable status of the units in the long-term.

Report LGS-039-25
Coordination with Durham Region
2.6 Municipal staff have consulted with the Region to ensure that the Region’s interests will
be protected and that the Region will also be a party to the agreement with the Owner.
3. Financial Considerations
3.1 If the Owner constructs the anticipated 55 affordable residential units, the total amount
of Clarington’s development charges that would be exempt could range from
$396,533.50 to $569,992.50, depending on the number of bedrooms in the affordable
units. For the parkland dedication requirement an exemption, of $12,949.33, would be
applied. If the Owner increases the proportion of affordable units in the development,
the exempted amounts could be higher.
4. Strategic Plan
Encouraging affordable residential unit construction in Clarington aligns with Priority
C.2.2 of the Strategic Plan: Support and invest in the creation of housing to meet the
needs of the community.
5. Climate Change
Not Applicable.
6. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Deputy CAO/Treasurer and the Deputy CAO,
Planning and Infrastructure who concur with the recommendations.
7. Conclusion
It is respectfully recommended that the Deputy CAO/Treasurer and the Deputy CAO,
Planning and Infrastructure be authorised to execute an agreement as discussed in this
report with the owner of 1697 and 1701 Highway 2, Courtice relating to the exemption of
development charges and parkland dedication payments for residential units that are
intended to be affordable residential units for a period of 25 years, as required by
section 4.1 of the Development Charges Act.

Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
19 1/2 - 23 King Street West is part of a commercial streetwall on the south side of King
Street West and located in the commercial core of the historic Village of Bowmanville. It
consists of an elegant three-storey Italianate commercial building constructed circa 1868.
Physical/Design Value
19 ½ - 23 King Street West is a representative example of a commercial building constructed
in the Italianate architectural style. The three-storey building follows a rectangular plan, with
flat roof with a balanced composition showcasing ornate details which are representative of
Italianate commercial architecture. The building displays highly decorative windows which
include segmental and rounded arch openings finished with brick voussoirs, keystones, stone
stills, and decorative brickwork treatment around the opening which add an interesting
aesthetic. The dichromatic brickwork has several details including belted courses around
windows and between storeys, buff brick quoins, and an ornate brick parapet. The highly
decorative wood cornice that projects from the roof and showcases a cavetto, moulded trim,
and rhythmically placed paired wood brackets with finials, all of which are representative of
features associated with commercial Italianate architecture. 19 ½ – 23 King Street West has
a balanced formal first storey which includes a recessed primary and secondary entranceway
surrounded by wood panelling. The main level also includes a large storefront window
opening which is protected by an awning which carries through decorative details found on
the cornice, most notably paired brackets. 19 ½ - 23 King Street West displays many
representative and highly decorative features associated with commercial Italianate
architectural style. The legibility and retention of these stylized elements, particularly the
decorative cornice and stylized window openings with brick surrounds, convey the elegance,
grandeur, and artistic design intent of the commercial building.
Historical/Associative Value
19 ½ - 23 King Street West, also known as the Victoria Building, has historic value for being
one of the oldest remaining buildings from the 19th century commercial core and is
associated with the Murdoch family. Peter Murdoch was born on August 13, 1828, in
Kilmarnock, Scotland to John and Margaret Murdoch and his older brother John was born in
1809. Peter Murdoch learned the grocery trade in Glasgow before immigrating first to
Cobourg, and then to Bowmanville around 1857. Peter and John purchased a brick building,
known as the Victoria Building, from John Fee in 1862, and operated a lucrative grocery
business. A fire in 1868 destroyed the Murdoch brothers’ store and all their stock, however
they quickly rebuilt the Victoria Building between 1868 and 1869 along with a neighbouring
dry goods merchant named F.F. McArthur who also lost his business to the fire. The
entrepreneurial brothers resumed their business and as business declined, they began
cultivating apples in order to ship them back to Britain, one of the first enterprises in Onta rio
to do so. The building was eventually sold to Charles Cawker in 1903, whose family operated
a butcher shop and grocery store on the property until at least the 1960s. For over a century
and a half, 19 ½ - 23 King Street West housed several important historic commercial
businesses including the Murdoch brothers’ grocery store, the Cawker grocery store, the
Royal Bank of Canada during the 1970s, and later by Walter Frank Realty and Leisure Lady,
and is one of the oldest remaining buildings from the 19th century in downtown Bowmanville.

commercial core associated with the historic Village of Bowmanville. The lot lines and block
layout of the historic core were well established in the late-19th century. The concentration
and growth of the commercial core along King Street played a significant role in the social
and economic development and growth of Bowmanville. The historic commercial core along
King Street has been an important place of gathering and a center for social, commercial,
and recreational activities for over 150 years. The commercial core has been the site of street
fairs, parades, and festivals, and serves as an important place of gather ing. Located along
King Street West, the buildings in the historical village core are comprised of predominantly
one to three-storey commercial properties with defined commercial storefronts along the first
storey, primarily brick construction, and often showcase ornate details, particularly along
roofline and window openings. 19 ½ - 23 King Street West is part of the commercial street

Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
33 King Street West is part of a commercial streetwall on the south side of King Street West
and located in the commercial core of the historic Village of Bowmanville. It consists of a two -
storey commercial Italianate building constructed in 1883.
Physical/Design Value
33 King Street West is a representative example of a commercial building constructed in the
Italianate architectural style. The two-storey brick building follows a rectangular plan and has
a flat roof which showcases an ornate parapet which are key features of commercial
Italianate design. The parapet includes several stylistics features including highly decorated
cornice with a cavetto along the top followed by molded trim finished with gingerbread along
the bottom, rhythmically placed paired wood brackets, which is all framed by large, paired
end brackets. The parapet end brackets are topped by an additional decorative element
reminiscent of a birdhouse the design of which is repeated in the belt course between the
first and second storeys as well as on other buildings along King Street West. The prominent
decorative band is also comprised of ornate moulded wood trim. The upper level has three
rhythmically placed segmentally arched window openings with brick voussoirs, a central
keystone which includes a decorative thistle design, and lug sills which are features of
Italianate architecture. The formal storefront entrance and secondary entrance has wood
panel surrounds which create an asymmetrical but balanced composition. The recessed
rectangular store entrance is located beside a large storefront window opening which is also
accented with wood panelling and showcases typical feature of commercial buildings built in
the Italianate architectural style.
Historical/Associative Value
33 King Street West has historical value for being the last building associated with the
Andrew Block of the historic commercial core and with the first owner and
businesswoman, Annie Anderson. The ‘Andrew Block’, is named after Reginald Andrew,
who was one of the people responsible for the construction of the building around 1883,
while Annie Anderson, was the first owner and commercial operator. Reginald Barret
Andrew was born on June 20, 1852, in Bowmanville, to Joseph Barrett Andrew (1824 -
1877) Mary Darlington (1820-1905). In the early 1880s a new block of commercial
property along King Street was built by Reginald B. Andrew and Joseph Ruse. A series
of three connected buildings were constructed between 1881 and 1883, and the building
at 33 King Street West was the last of this block to be constructed. The construction was
finished in 1883, and the commercial building became part of what was known as the
‘Andrew Block’. Upon completion, 33 King Street West came into the ownership of Annie
Smith Anderson. Annie S. Anderson (nee Younie) was born on September 5, 1843, in
Darlington Township. Mrs. Anderson was a woman entrepreneur and the first commercial
occupant of 33 King Street West. Mrs. Anderson operated a successful millinery and
fancy good store from 1883 until around 1888. The following two commercial businesses
which occupied the building were also owned and operated by women. Alice Ann Ives
Page 93
operated the storefront as a merchant tailor from 1888 until 1921, followed by Edith
Scobell who ran an insurance agency f rom 1921 until 1948. The sale of the property by
Edith in 1948 ended a 65 year period of businesses that were owned and operated by
women. Subsequence business that operated out of 33 King Street West included a
television store and repair shop, a paint and wallpaper business, a salon, a fabric store,
and a series of florists, and a café, among others. The other two buildings that make up
the Andrew Block, 25 King Street West and 29 -31 King Street West, were destroyed by
a fire in 2008. Although 33 King Street West was heavily damaged and remained vacant
for at least a year it was eventually repaired and restored to its former appearance. The
exterior of the 33 King Street West remains the only example of the 19th century
commercial buildings associated with the Andrew Block.
Contextual Value
33 King Street West is important in supporting the late -19th and early-20th century
commercial core associated with the historic Village of Bowmanville. The lot lines, layout,
and built form of the commercial core of the historic village of Bowmanville was well-

growth of Bowmanville. The historic commercial core along King Street has been an
important place of gathering and a center for social, commercial, and recreational activities

Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
192 Liberty Street North, known as Medicine House, is located on the west side of Liberty
Street North, north of Concession Street and south of Third Street, in the Municipality of
Clarington. The property consists of a one-and-a-half storey, stucco Georgian residence built
circa 1855.
Physical/Design Value
The property has design value as a representative example of a Georgian architectural style
residence. The one-and-a-half storey Georgian residence is symmetrically balanced with a
three-bay façade. It follows a rectangular plan, with an end gable roof with overhanging eaves
and return eaves. It has rectangular window openings with lug sill and central doorway with
sidelight and transom which are all features of this style. The subject property appears to be
clad in stucco with a gable dormer with paired rectangular window openings and a brick
chimney.
Historical/Associative Value
192 Liberty Street North is historically associated with Dr. William Allison, a physician, who
was significant to the early development of Bowmanville. Dr. William Allison was born in the
Scottish Lowlands in 1806 and was educated at the University of Edinburgh before
immigrating to Upper Canada in 1835. Working as a country doctor, he earned a good wage
and kept himself up to date on scientific discoveries and medical breakthroughs of the time.
In addition to serving the medical needs of the early settlers of Bowmanville, Dr. Allison also
served as the President of the Mechanic’s Institute, a Deputy Reeve, and as a Bowmanville
Town Councillor.
Contextual Value

worked as a barrister on King Street in Bowmanville and also served as the Mayor of

Statement of Significance and List of Character Defining Features
Description of Property
1598 Baseline Road West, also known as Trull House, is located on the north side of
Baseline Road, west of Trulls Road, east of Prestonvale Road and north of Hwy 401. The
property contains a one-and-a-half storey, stone, residential building built in 1872.
Physical/Design Value
1598 Baseline Road West has design value as a representative example of a residence
constructed in the Gothic Revival architectural style. The three bay, one -and-a-half storey,
stone building includes a side gable roof, with a decorative finial in the east gable end. The
symmetrically balanced façade boasts a three-gable roof line with a high pitch centre gable
flanked by two smaller gables with equal high pitches which are def ining elements
associate with Gothic Revival style. Additionally, segmentally arched window openings with
prominent keystone flanked by large stone voussoir are located on the main level as well
as within each gable opening. The tall formal entryway with a transom and sidelights and
corner quoining are additional features typical of Gothic Revival architecture in Ontario.
1598 Baseline Road West is a well-built structure with stone masonry which displays a high
degree of craftsmanship. The use of stone, assembled in an Aberdeen bond, with stone
faces alternating between headers and stretchers is a unique feature of 1598 Baseline
Road West. Specifically, the headers with the small stones stacked in groups of three and
the stretchers with the full-size stones together create a unique pattern which is augmented
by the colour contrasts and created an overall noticeable and unique stone wall
assemblage.
Historical/Associative Value
1598 Baseline Road West is directly associated with the Trull family, who were the first
settlers in the Courtice area. The land was owned by patriarch John W. Trull, who with
his wife Lydia, purchased the subject property in 1812. Lydia Trull was a prominent
figure in the area as a trained doctor serving a wide area by horseback. John and
Lydia’s oldest son, John C. Trull was the first documented child of European descent
that was born in Darlington Township. The house was constructed by Jesse Trull who
was the grandson of John W and Lydia, and son of John C. Trull. A stone date stone o n
the façade reads J.T. 1872. Jesse Trull was a prosperous farmer in Darlington and
Clarke Townships, eventually owning around 400 acres of farmland. He served as the
President of the Dominion Mutual Fire Insurance Association, as well as the President
of the Ontario Provincial Grange Institute. Jesse Trull was also involved with the yearly
West Durham Agricultural Society Exhibition, and in 1894, began the annual tradition of
holding a Trull Family Picnic. Jesse Trull died in 1912, and the property was sol d out of
the Trull family in 1916. Jesse Trull relocated the Trull Family Cemetery at some point in
late 19th century, likely around 1880. The family cemetery had likely originally been
located on the property of his father, John C. Trull. Although it was severed from the
subject property in 1906, it appears to have been used into the twentieth century. The
cemetery serves as the resting place for select Trull family members, including patriarch
and matriarch, John W and Lydia Trull.
