Watermain Cleaning and Structural
Lining
Works Department May 8, 2026 Public Notice
As part of The Regional Municipality of Durham’s ongoing infrastructure maintenance program,
watermains in your neighbourhood are scheduled to be cleaned and structurally lined this year (map
attached). This program renews aging infrastructure, improves water quality, and reduces the risk of
watermain breaks.
A temporary watermain will be installed to maintain the water supply to all impacted homeowners
during construction. The temporary watermain will be disinfected and tested for microbiological
quality, then connected to your home via the outside water tap. There may be a minimal interruption
to the water supply for your home during the switch over.
Two-metre by two-metre excavations will be required at valve and fire hydrant locations and intervals
along the watermain to provide access for cleaning, inspection, and lining equipment. Trench work or
removal of sidewalks or driveways should not be required. Please note that it is the Region’s policy to
reinstate all roadways, boulevards, driveways, and lawn areas that are disturbed after the
construction work is completed. Every effort will be made to minimize the impacts on residents.
Before full service is restored, the lined watermains will be disinfected and tested to ensure that the
water quality continues to meet the Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards.
The contractor, Fer-Pal Construction Ltd 1, will start work Late-May. The duration of construction
work is eighteen (18) weeks. Clean-up and restoration should be initiated and completed by October
2026. Please note that unfavorable weather conditions may affect the work schedule.
During construction, access to driveways and all commercial and residential properties will be
maintained in most instances, including emergency traffic and waste collection.
The Region realizes that this work may be disruptive and will make every effort to complete the work
as quickly as possible.

Resolution No. 75-03-2026
Moved by: B. Wood
Seconded by: P. Aelick
Whereas the Town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands, like many municipalities, utilizes
chip-and-tar surface treatment on a significant portion of its road network; and
Whereas the Town has observed a substantial decrease in the length of time these treated roads
remain in acceptable condition; and
Whereas the quality and durability of the oil used in the surface treatment appears to be a
contributing factor; and
Whereas the Ministry of the Environment amended its regulations several years ago, permitting only
lighter-grade oils for environmental considerations; and
Whereas the reduced durability of the lighter-grade product has resulted in more frequent
resurfacing cycles and has consequently led to increasing maintenance costs;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands
respectfully requests that the Ministry of the Environment reconsider its decision regarding the
lighter grade of oil, taking into account the increased number of applications required, as well as the
associated additional time, energy, and financial burden placed on municipalities or develops a
better alternative oil.
And Further that this motion be forwarded to the Ministry of Environment, AMO, Good Roads,
FONOM, MPP Bill Rosenburg, and all other municipalities.

Whereas older buildings have inherent sustainability and provide economic, environmental and
social benefits for Ontario communities; and,
Whereas re-use of existing buildings reduces the need for increased infrastructure that
accompanies new builds such as sewer and water services, new roads and sidewalks; and,
Whereas re-use of existing building can reduce construction waste and extend the life
expectancy of landfills; and,
Whereas keeping older buildings helps a community remain visually richer and enhances
identity while building its tourism brand and appeal; and,
Whereas creating a new, application-based, matching grant program of $10M/year, modelled on
an existing Alberta program would incentivize owners and smaller developers to keep, fix and
reuse heritage buildings to create new housing; and,
Whereas such a grant program would provide an alternative to the Ontario heritage property tax
relief program, which has limited impact on developers and reduces municipal revenues; and,
Whereas such a grant program would provide a simpler and more direct way for heritage
building owners to fund renovations or conservation; and,
Whereas Ontario developers surveyed by the National Trust for Canada in 2014 ranked a
heritage-revolving fund as their top incentive to encourage heritage development if:
• the grants are simple to apply for and to administer; and,
• the fund is large enough to meet at least 33% of the demand so that applicants have a
reasonable chance of recovering the cost and effort of applying.
Therefore, be it Resolved That the Council of the Town of Saugeen Shores endorse the
Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) Proposal to include $10M per year in the 2026
provincial budget for Heritage Helping Housing (HHH) grant funding, and that this resolution be
sent to the Premier, Minister of Finance, Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism, and MPP
Lisa Thompson, and be circulated to all municipalities in Ontario.

16.1 Member Motion - Councillor Thompson - Integrated Living and
Participation Model for Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Moved by: Councillor Thompson
Seconded by: Councillor Cui
Whereas individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities often
experience a significant reduction in structured supports and programming
upon reaching adulthood, particularly after the age of 21; and
Whereas many of these individuals remain reliant on aging parents or
caregivers, creating growing concern among families regarding long-term
housing, care, and quality of life; and
Whereas the Province of Ontario has, over time, transitioned away from
large institutional models of care toward more community-based and
inclusive approaches for individuals with developmental disabilities; and
Whereas while these changes have improved opportunities for inclusion
and independence, the current system of supports is often delivered
across multiple programs and providers and may not fully address the
long-term need for integrated living environments that combine housing,
supports, and meaningful daily participation; and
Whereas there is an increasing need for innovative, sustainable, and
inclusive models of care that support independence, dignity, and
community integration for adults with developmental disabilities; and
Whereas opportunities may exist to explore models that provide safe and
supportive living environments for adults with developmental disabilities
while also offering structured, voluntary, and supported participation in
day-to-day activities that foster a sense of purpose, skill development, and
social connection; and
Whereas such models, if thoughtfully designed, could complement
existing care environments and contribute positively to the overall well-
being of both participants and residents; and

Subject: Regulations under the Geologic Carbon Storage Act, 2025
Hello,
Following up on the recent letter you received from Jennifer Keyes, I am pleased to
inform you that the Geologic Carbon Storage Act, 2025 (GCSA) and supporting
regulations, detailing requirements for the authorization of research and evaluation
activities and carbon storage activities in Ontario, are now in effect.
Carbon storage is new to the province, and Ontario has taken a phased approach to
ensure that it is done responsibly, with measures in place to safeguard people and the
environment. Throughout each phase, the Ministry of Natural Resources has invited
input from Indigenous communities and organizations, industry, agricultural
associations, municipalities, non-government organizations, subject matter experts,
farmers and the public.
The ministry sought feedback on the Regulatory Proposals under the Proposed
Geologic Carbon Storage Act from August 12th, 2025, until September 26th, 2025. The
final regulations can be found online through the following links:
• Ontario Regulation 311/25: General Matters under the Authority of the Lieutenant
Governor in Council
• Ontario Regulation 12/26: General Matters under the Authority of the Minister
• Ontario Regulation 13/26: Rent
Through the regulation development process, all comments were considered, and
changes were made to the proposal to respond to feedback and improve clarity and
consistency. Key changes include:
• Removing application fees
• Lowering the emissions threshold for projects eligible to use pore space vested
in the Crown by regulation
• Extending the maximum term of licences and permits for research and
evaluation to support post‑closure management
• Refining municipal endorsement requirements for storage permits
• Allowing phased security and the use of surety bonds for security

• Clarifying closure timelines
• Providing for the establishment of site-specific protection boundaries, instead of
using fixed buffers, to delineate areas where Oil, Gas and Salt Resources Act
(OGSRA) operators are restricted from carrying out well-related activities that
could impact reservoirs where CO2 is being stored.
The original proposal also included updates to the sample processing fees charged to
all operators under the OGSRA, but a decision was made to not move forward with
those updates at this time. The ministry’s approach to stewardship fees has been
deferred and will be considered separately. The proposal and decision notices are
available on the Regulatory Registry under posting # 25-MNRF006.
The GCSA and supporting regulations enable the safe, responsible and permanent
storage of carbon dioxide in a manner that is designed to protect public safety and the
environment and minimize potential adverse impacts on other land and resource uses.
Establishing a clear legislative and regulatory framework for this activity is key to
realizing the potential benefits and managing potential risks associated with geologic
carbon storage.

Operations Section by email at carbonstorage@ontario.ca or by phone at 519-873-

Good morning,
I am following up on my email of March 25 regarding the frozen assessment roll in Ontario and its
impact on businesses across our communities.
We would greatly appreciate your consideration of the attached background materials and proposed
motion for Mayor and Council. As noted previously, this is a time-sensitive matter, as direction to MPAC
on the 2027 Assessment Roll will be required in the near future.
Your support on this issue would be highly valuable.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Good afternoon,
My name is Paul Sullivan and I am partner with Ryan. My role in the firm is to advocate on behalf
of taxpayers to ensure fairness and equity through good tax policy. The frozen assessment roll in
Ontario is hurting all types of businesses throughout our communities.
Please see attached background article as well as a proposed motion for Mayor and Council.
We hope you will pass a motion to this effect and contribute to making Ontario fair and
competitive for all businesses. This is an urgent matter as Government must direct MPAC to
create a 2027 Assessment Role in the near future. It would be anticipated that taxpayers would
receive their new assessment in November.

Retail and Office Tenants Overpay
While Others Get a Pass
Ontario’s outdated assessed values are putting jobs and local
businesses at risk. Retail and office tenants are taxed based on
inflated values, while other businesses get a pass—leaving everyday
residents to make up the difference through higher prices.
It’s time to reassess and restore fairness.

Ontario’s Tax Freeze:
Costing Jobs, Raising Prices
Who’s Bearing the Hidden Consumer Tariff in Ontario?
Property Taxes Out of Sync with Reality
Ontario’s property tax system is out of sync with market
reality. Retail and office properties have declined in value,
yet remain overtaxed, while other businesses—whose
values have tripled—are undertaxed.
Without reassessment, struggling retail and office sectors
face rising costs, lower occupancy, and mounting pressure.
The Only Province Without
Reassessment Since the Pandemic
Ontario is the only province that hasn’t
reassessed property values since the pandemic.
As of January 1st 2025, Ontario taxes were
based on values that are 108 months in the past,
while in the rest of Canada assessed values are
6-24 months in the past.
Regular reassessments give businesses the
stability to plan and invest. Without it, struggling
sectors like retail and office face uncertainty and
discouraging costs.

Unfair property tax policies are placing a hidden tariff
on consumers, driving up the cost of goods and putting
immense pressure on small businesses. Local retailers,
the backbone of our communities, are overtaxed,
threatening jobs and economic stability across Ontario.
How out of date are Ontario assessments?
Local Businesses, Unfairly Taxed
Unfair taxation is placing a hidden burden on local
communities across Ontario. Independent businesses
are overtaxed, driving up prices for consumers and
putting jobs and livelihoods at risk. Residents are paying
the price while trying to support their local retailers.
Residents want to support local businesses but are
facing higher prices due to an outdated tax system that
favors large properties. This province-wide issue is
putting undue pressure on communities and demands
immediate action.

We kindly request that that Council call on the Government of Ontario to promptly move
to update property assessments in the Province.
The following resolution has been drafted for Council’s consideration at its next meeting:
WHEREAS a well-functioning and up-to-date assessment system supports strong
communities and makes the province an attractive place to invest; and
WHEREAS property assessments in Ontario have not been updated in over a
decade, making them the most outdated in Canada, while provinces such as Alberta
and British Columbia update assessments annually to reflect current market
conditions; and
WHEREAS the prolonged pause in the reassessment cycle has created significant
distortions in assessed values, resulting in inequities among property classes; and
WHEREAS outdated assessments negatively impact investment decisions,
economic competitiveness, municipal planning, and disproportionately affect
independent small businesses; and
WHEREAS reassessments are designed to be revenue neutral for the municipality,
ensure fairness in taxation, maintain public confidence in the property tax system,
and support long-term municipal financial planning; and
WHEREAS a coalition of municipalities, chambers of commerce, tourism
organizations, small businesses, and major property owners have called upon the
Government of Ontario to update property assessments;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of [Name of Municipality]
hereby calls upon the Premier of Ontario and the Minister of Finance to direct the
Municipal Property Assessment Corporation to promptly resume the regular property
assessment cycle; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario; the Honourable Peter Bethlenfalvy,
Minister of Finance; the Honourable Rob Flack, Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing; the Association of Municipalities of Ontario; and the Municipal Property
Assessment Corporation for their consideration and timely action.
