was to ensure that rural residents would be connected, able to take

economy, but was hindered by inclusion of 3.5GHz Spectrum for
Durham Region under the Toronto license;
NOW THEREFORE, the Municipality of Clarington Council supports
the division of urban and rural areas into separate licensing blocks
for the 70OMHZ spectrum in the upcoming public auction; and
further, that all the other rural municipalities in the Region be
encouraged to pass a similar resolution."

DATE: April 26, 2012
RE: ONTARIO WILDLIFE DAMAGE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
At the March 26 meeting, Council considered correspondence from the Township of Havelock -
Belmont- Methuen requesting support of the following resolution:
"WHEREAS predation of Livestock by Wildlife is a recognized problem in Ontario as
evidenced by the need for the Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program; and
WHEREAS the purpose of the Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program is to
provide financial assistance to producers whose livestock, poultry or honey bees have
been injured or killed as a result of Wildlife; and
WHEREAS one of the recent changes to the eligibility requirements under the Ontario
Wildlife Damage Compensation Program is that all applicants must have a valid Farm
Business Registration Number (FBR); and
WHEREAS the change in eligibility requiring a valid FBR is very unfair for those who do
not meet the eligibility criteria, such as hobby farmers that do not meet the criteria for a
FBR number, those that raise their own meat to support their families, or those that have
animals as pets or for pleasure, are now deemed ineligible for reimbursement under the
program;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural
Affairs is asked to reconsider the eligibility requirements that all applicants must have a
valid Farm Business Registration Number, with the intent to enable financial assistance
similar to the previous program to a wider array of livestock producers whose livestock
have been injured or killed as a result of Wildlife; and
FURTHER THAT a copy of this resolution be circulated to the Minister of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs; MPP Jeff Leal; the Association of Municipalities of Ontario; and
all the municipalities in Ontario to request their support."
Mayor Foster and Members of Council Page 2
At that time, the correspondence was referred to the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAG)
