DATE: October 8, 2020
SUBJECT: Pawpaw Tree Planting – Canatara Park
Canatara Park is the City's crown jewel that supports a diversity of public events as well as an equally diverse ecological community. Both of these
reasons contribute to the park's status and enjoyment by local citizens and tourists. The recent removal of an unused building in the park offered an
opportunity for a brownfield revitalization into a re-naturalization project focusing on Pawpaw trees (Asimina triloba).
The Pawpaws have been popular in the news as a Carolinian species, and
although it is largely absent from Sarnia it is very likely to have been historically found here. This space provided a great opportunity to display
these native fruit trees that also serve as the host plant for the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly. A patch planting will be done this fall since these trees
need males and females to cross-pollinate and produce fruit. The trees have been produced through a nearby nursery.
The Friends of Canatara (FOC) and the Sarnia Environmental Advisory Committee (SEAC) submitted a joint application to Lambton Wildlife for
funding of $800 to support this project. With Pawpaws as the poster child, this project aligns with Lambton Wildlife's values of conservation,
preservation, and protection of the natural environment in Lambton County by promoting one of 1,500 native plants and 500 rare species in the
Carolinian Zone and re-naturalizing a section of Canatara Park. The coordinated project between FOC and SEAC, with approval from the City’s
Parks and Recreation Department, displays that our community cares about our establishment and care of our City's natural areas and spaces.

SUBJECT: R-Zone Community Consultation – Survey Online Now
We Need Your Feedback Tell us what you think! The draft R-Zone Policy is available now and the
engagement survey is online until Wednesday, October 28, 2020 at Speak up Sarnia.
What is an R-Zone Policy?
An R-Zone Policy promotes a positive, safe and supportive environment for all users, visitors and staff that use and operate our indoor and outdoor
recreational infrastructure by providing a framework in which to address inappropriate behaviours when they arise.
Next Steps?
Once input has been received and a final draft of the R-Zone prepared, staff will return the policy to Council for consideration of approval at the
November 23, 2020 regular Council meeting.
Should the policy be adopted by Council, staff, along with community
sporting partners, will conduct a promotional and educational campaign to raise awareness of the policy for parents, participants, spectators and the
importance of their role in creating a positive atmosphere.

SUBJECT: Completion of the Charlotte Street Lot Reconfiguration
Progress Update As a follow up to Council’s direction on July 13, 2020, the following
successful upgrades have now been completed in the Charlotte Street parking lot.
Metered Parking Spaces Converted to Permit Parking Spaces
The existing 18 parking meters and meter posts have been removed and replaced with new designated permit parking signage, allowing the
opportunity to re-allocate these spaces to meet the growing demand for permit parking for downtown area residents and business owners.
E-Charging Station
With the recent expiration of the 3-year lease agreement, the e-charging station has been removed allowing for two additional permit parking spaces.
The e-charging station will not be relocated due to its age, cost of use, and
the obsolescence design of the machine.
Additional Upgrades During the course of this revitalization project, steps have been taken to
upgrade the accessible spaces by way of new signage, paint and the installation of one additional parking space.
The City has taken steps to upgrade all existing signage within the parking
lot, the parking lot stalls have also been repainted to help freshen up the lot and clearly identify the appropriate areas to park.

Stacey Forfar, General Manager of Community Services DATE: October 8, 2020 SUBJECT: Sarnia Arena Updates – New Parking Lot & WiFi Sarnia Arena Parking Lot Project: The main parking lot at Sarnia Arena is receiving the finishing touches to the asphalt this week and will be ready for user groups to utilize this newly designed grander parking area early next week. With the main parking lot becoming fully accessible at Sarnia Arena, we will be adjusting participant’s entry point to the sliding doors on Wellington Street to access the facility. All user groups will receive an update regarding this change, and we will also provide this adjustment within our current COVID-19 Arena Operating Standards to Lambton Public Health. Sarnia Arena Public Wi-Fi: In addition to the completed parking lot project, the Public Wi-Fi installation within Sarnia Arena is almost complete and will be opened up for the public’s use by the end of this week. We are excited to have these Public Wi-Fi projects coming together. Progressive Auto Sales Arena’s WiFi is fully operational, and Clearwater Arena’s will be finalized within the next couple of weeks, so that our community members and user groups will have access to this amenity when visiting all of our Arenas. Advanced Sanitizing Procedures: We have recently received Electrostatic Sprayers for each of our Arenas to utilize within our current cleaning and sanitizing procedures as well. These “E-Sprayers” will allow for increased efficiencies in disinfecting time within our current Green Zones being accessed by participants and
Page 7 of 19
spectators in our Arenas. Staff have received training on these new sprayers, and they have started being utilized within each of our Arenas this week. As we move along we continue to make any necessary minor adjustments and updates within our COVID-19 Arena Operating Standards, to ensure the continued safety of everyone utilizing our Arenas, and we appreciate the continued support of our operations.

SUBJECT: Domain Controller Refresh
IT identified the two main servers that provide all authentication to our
environment as aging, approaching end of life, and not able to adequately support many forward strategic plans.
Additionally, in September our IT Infrastructure staff recognized new
vulnerabilities that Microsoft had disclosed that could allow any user to be able to connect to these top-level servers to elevate their privilege to Full
Domain access.
It was determined that escalating the priority of this work and expediting the replacement on Thursday, September 24 was vastly preferable to accepting
the risk of these vulnerabilities.
Utilizing our existing virtualized hardware environment, staff were able to deploy new servers and replace the older, vulnerable 2008 and 2012
versions at no additional capital cost in an entirely seamless exercise apart
from the brief after hours cutover outage.
This was very much a background activity to the general staff experience but critical to securing our environment and allowing us to move forward
successfully.
