Report To: General Government Committee Date of Meeting: May 28, 2018 Report Number: EGD -011-18 Resolution: GG -315-18 File Number: By-law Number: Report Subject: Potter Family Heritage Plaque Recommendations: 1. That Report EGD -011-18 be received; 2. That Council approve the installation of a Clarington Heritage Plaque to recognize the Potter family of Bowmanville; 3. That staff work with the Potter family and Clarington Museums to determine the text and location for the plaque; 4.

Municipality of Clarington Report EGD -011-18 Report Overview Page 2 The Potter family of Bowmanville was at one time the largest biological family in Canada with 18 children born between 1923 and 1949. The nine surviving Potter children have requested that a commemorative plaque be erected at the site of their former homestead in the Bowmanville Valley. 1. Background 1.1 In March 2018 members of the Potter family met with Councillor Woo and staff to request a commemorative plaque be erected at the site of their former homestead in the Bowmanville Valley. They explained their family history and provided information (Attachment 1) on the 18 biological children of Lorne and Ada Potter. 1.2 In May 2002 Council approved an Engineering Services Department policy (Attachment 2) for the installation of Clarington Heritage Plaques to commemorate significant subjects or individual contributions to municipal heritage. Significant municipal heritage interest is the criterion by which applications for plaques are assessed. Since the policy was established heritage plaques have been installed at Walbridge Park, Tooley's Mill Park, and the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area. Funding for the installation of heritage plaques, estimated at $2,500-$3,000 per plaque, is to come from Engineering Services annual budget. 2. Comments 2.1 An April 8, 1948 article in the Canadian Statesman (Attachment 3) recognizes the Potter family as "undoubtedly the largest in Durham County and certainly one of the largest in Ontario." At the time of the article the Potters had 17 children, all single biological births with the same parents. In July of 1949 their 18th child was born and they were documented to be the largest biological family in Canada. 2.2 The heritage plaque policy is meant to commemorate a subject or individual of significant heritage interest. The Potter family story is of significant heritage interest based on their uniquely large family. The current largest family in Canada, who reside in British Columbia, also have 18 biological children. 2.3 The Potter family home was located in the Bowmanville Valley until it burned down in 1975. The site is now part of the Bowmanville Valley lands owned and maintained by the municipality. A Clarington heritage plaque commemorating the Potters would be an interesting and informative feature in the Bowmanville Valley_ 2.4 The request was reviewed with Clarington Museums and with Valleys 2000. Both concur with the installation of the Heritage Plaque. Municipality of Clarington Page 3 Resort EGD -011-18 3. Concurrence Not applicable. 4. Conclusion It is respectfully recommended that Council approve the installation of a heritage plaque to recognize the Potter family of Bowmanville based on their history as Canada's largest biological family in the 1940's. The site of their family home was located on what is now Clarington land in the Bowmanville Valley. A Potter family heritage plaque would be an interesting feature for the many residents and visitors using the Bowmanville Valley. 5. Strategic Plan Application Not applicable.

He worked at The Foundry and they have 1 son Christopher, and 1 daughter Kelly It is estimated that over three generations the family has grown to include a possible 400 people, many living in or close to the Durham Region. There are two other families that exist in Canada with claim to have the largest family status, however the Potters were first with that status. (Although were never recognized) The Potter family is documented to be the first with the eldest being born in 1923 and the youngest in 1949 and all were single biological births with the same parents; 11 girls and 7 boys . Livia and Alexandru (once of Abbotsford, B.0 have 18 children; 10 girls and 8 boys. All biological. The oldest was born in 1985. The family immigrated from Romania in 1990 to Abbotsford, B.C. All family members were not of Canadian birth. Beatrice and Leonard Collins of Peterborough, Ontario had 19 children. 3 sets of twins and 12 single biological births and 1 presumed adopted. Leonard Collins was born in 1912 and would make him 11 years old when the first Potter child was born in 1923. Not much information is available on line about the Collins family and nothing about any other families born in Canada with a comparable amount of Canadian born children. The Potter family is documented to be the first to have the largest biological family in Canada and most likely Durham Region.

POLICY: Upon written request the municipality will review requests to install heritage plaques on municipal parks and open space. If approved by Council the municipality will arrange for the supply and installation of a plaque. Applicants wishing to commemorate a specific subject or individual must submit a letter complete with background information to substantiate the importance of the proposed subject in the heritage of the municipality. Significant municipal heritage interest will be the criterion by which applications for plaques will be assessed. The onus for making the case for significant municipal heritage interest rests upon the applicant. Municipal staff will evaluate requests with the assistance of the Clarke Museum, Bowmanville Museum and/or the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society, and recommend to Council acceptance or denial of the request. Once Council makes a decision the applicant will be notified in writing of the outcome. If approved municipal staff will work with the applicant and relevant heritage group to develop text for the plaque. The funding for plaques will come from Engineering Services annual budget.
