____ Draft By-Law _X_ Item ____ Policy Recommendation
Mayor D. Backer and Members of Council:
Action’s School of Fitness and Arts held a kickboxing event for the past 5 years in conjunction with
Mattawa Voyageur Days. The event adds diversity to the annual summer festival and Council
supported the club in the past by providing a cash sponsorship in the amount of $500.00 which
assisted with the considerable costs associated with organizing such an event.
This year the club is hosting its sixth event during Voyageur Days on Saturday July 29, 2017. Due
to the great success of the first four events, it is recommended that the Mayor and Council once
again support in the form of a sponsorship and by declaring the event as an event of municipal
significance for the purpose of acquiring a Special Occasion Permit from the Province of Ontario’s
ACGO.
Recommendation:
That the Mayor and Council of the Town of Mattawa, in recognition of Action’s School of Fitness
and Arts Kickboxing Event, approve a $500.00 cash sponsorship for the event which will assist the
club in hosting and defraying the costs associated with organizing such an event which also adds to
the total Voyageur Days entertainment mix. And further, that Council endorses and supports
Action’s School of Fitness and Arts event on Saturday July 29, 2017 as an event of municipal
significance for the purpose of acquiring a Special Occasion Permit from the Province of Ontario’s
ACGO.

Regional Office in order to be forwarded to the National Committee for final review.
On May 30, 2017 the Town of Mattawa was informed (Correspondence 4.14 in the June 12, 2017

TITLE: STUDENT SUMMER EMPLOYMENT
_ Draft By-Law __X___ Item _____ Policy Recommendation
Mayor D. Backer and Members of Council:
The Corporation of the Town of Mattawa annually employs students for summer employment in the
Recreation Department to carry out a variety of tasks and projects. These students gain a great
work experience plus provides them with needed funds most often assisting with their education
requirements.
The Recreation Department is recommending the same number of students be hired in 2017 as in
2016. These positions shall be as follows:
Mattawa Waterfront 5.5 students
Swimming Instructor 1 student (plus special events)
Children/Youth Program 4 students
Special Events 3 students
Information Centre 3 students
Green Team 2.5 students
The Town of Mattawa makes application to various Ministries or agencies for funding assistance.
Some students are assigned while others are subsidized. All students are kept more than busy
carrying out their assigned duties.
Recommendation:
It is therefore recommended that the Corporation of the Town of Mattawa employ nineteen (19)
students for summer employment in the Recreation Department for 2017. These expenses are to be
covered in the 2017 operational budget under account # 1-70-700-534-231.

TITLE: MATTAWA SPLASH PAD
____ Draft By-Law __X__ Item ____ Policy Recommendation
Mayor D. Backer and Members of Council:
There has been much discussion and a lot of interest in the possibility for the construction of a
Mattawa Splash Pad in the past few years. Mattawa is surrounded by various waterways, lakes and
streams so there would automatically be interest in some sort of water based facility. Swimming
pools are extremely cost prohibitive from all specters. Although far from ideal, a waterfront
(Mattawa River) swim program along with swimming lessons was introduced and has realized some
success.
Some of the key benefits of a Splash Pad are that although somewhat complex in nature they are in
reality quite simple…clean potable water runs through a pipe out through the various sprays
soaking the kids then down the drain and….that’s it!! The brief time that the water does spray or
pour out is what brings joy and happiness to the child. Their minds are wandering and imaginations
run wildly. No standing water…no huge expensive pumps…low power consumption…low
maintenance costs…little to no staffing costs…all these points lead up to a huge upside for the
municipality. Splash Pads have been described as one of the best things that has happened to a
community.
A community Splash Pad Committee was formed to Champion the Splash Pad Project. These
individuals gathered up the project and patiently moved the ideas and ideals to where we are today.
They created a lot of buzz throughout the community through various media and created a lot of
awareness with events such as Comedy Nights and other fundraising campaigns. People started
listening…they started hearing more and more about this Splash Pad project and were interested.
Businesses have jumped on board by providing much needed dollars along with promises to help
where they can with in-kind contributions. The Community has started a significant fundraiser with
“CHASE THE ACE” campaign and it is growing steam.
The Corporation Town of Mattawa prepared a very detailed Request for Proposals to contract an
experienced and expert company to provide input and direction for a Splash Pad. CRCS submitted
a successful tender and agreed to assist during the initial stage 1 of the project at no cost to the
Municipality. Please note that providing these services at NO cost was NOT the deciding factor to
contract CRCS to assist with phase 1. They are a very experienced company who have constructed
a number of these Pads for numerous communities.
Staff and Committee representatives worked side by side with CRCS to develop the Mattawa
Splash Pad concept. Numerous meetings, discussions and emails have brought the project to this
point. The Committee and Staff are comfortable with the amount of information received to
approach Council and request that the Corporation Town of Mattawa move forward with this
project. The Splash Pad Committee will also continue to fundraise with funds going towards the
addition of more spray units and amenities for the Pad.
The Committee is recommending TIMMINS PARK as the choice location for the Mattawa Splash
Pad. Location is ideal as it is within an existing playground setting with playground equipment, a
covered picnic area, totally fenced for children’s safety and in close proximity to downtown where
families have access to stores and restaurants. There is an existing washroom facility that will be
replaced with a new unit as recommended by CRCS. These are all self-contained solar panel units
that look ideal and relatively affordable for this project’s purposes.
The existing fence is located relatively close to the street leaving limited parking space. Presently,
people park their vehicles but then have to walk behind their vehicles along the street to access the
park gate. This is not safe as vehicles need to back up when leaving. Children may be super
excited to play in the park and could run behind one of these vehicles backing out. Therefore, a
new fence will be installed along Water Street and Timmins Street. A parking and walking path
and a series of fence gates will be created along this street. There will also be a gate opening along
Water Street for foot pedestrians. Parking along Water Street will be discouraged.
The location of the Splash Pad within Timmins Park is where the present baby swings are located.
This swing set is the original set installed well over 40 years ago. The area around the swing is
underutilized as it is in a non-playable location but super ideal for the splash pad. The large pine
tree has been removed and the old swing set will also be removed.
Council has been provided with two (2) Splash Pad presentations and reports. A public
presentation was made on April 24, 2017 followed by a Report to Council (agenda) on May 8,
2017. These reports provided more details including a cost breakdown. The Mattawa Splash Pad
Committee will continue to contact various contractors required to carry out work in-kind or at a
generous reduction in fees.
Council has included the total cost of the Mattawa Splash Pad in the 2017 Municipal Budget.
Recommendation:
It is therefore recommended that the Corporation Town of Mattawa approve the construction of the
MATTAWA SPLASH PAD at a budget cost of $160,000.00. These costs include the cost of the
complete splash pad, new fencing along Timmins and Water Street and a new washroom/change
room facility. The Town of Mattawa commits up to $100,000.00 in cash. The Mattawa Splash Pad
Committee is responsible for and commits the remaining funds to complete the project. It is further
recommended that the Corporation Town of Mattawa contract CRCS Recreation to design the
splash pad and supervise during construction.
