Marketwired New Funding for Landowners Interested in Conserving Wetlands Mon Jun 16 2014, 11:05am ET Dateline: UTOPIA, ONTARIO

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and Ducks Unlimited Canada host free Wetlands Workshop

UTOPIA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 16,2014) - The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) and Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) encourage all landowners, contractors and habitat restoration professionals interested in restoring wetlands to mark their calendars for July 3, 2014. The two organizations are joining forces to host an exciting, infonnative and free Workshop on Wetlands, 6:30-9:00 p.m. at the Tiffin Centre, 8195 8th Line, Utopia, near Barrie.

"We're looking for folks that are wild about wetlands, stoked about swamps, delight in ducks and treasure turtles! If you're interested in helping to protect and create these vital ecosystems, there are some great new resources," says Shannon Stephens, Healthy Waters Program Coordinator at the NVCA.

Workshop participants will learn about restoration techniques, how to enhance shorelines, stream-banks and ponds for fish and wildlife. Participants will be the first to learn about a new grant program that will run until March 31, 2017, and may cover 50-90% of costs for wetland projects that qualify. Project examples include wetland restoration, wetland creation, livestock exclusion fencing and nest boxes.

Wetlands are rich ecosystems that provide an incredible range of benefits. They help

control flooding, improve water quality and have rich biodiversity of species, just to name a few.

In much of southern Ontario, wetlands are under the stewardship of private landowners. There are many simple projects that can be done to help benefit these critical ecosystems. To assist landowners in protecting, restoring and creating functional wetlands, DUC, NVCA, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and the Severn Sound Environmental Association have teamed-up to fonn a Wetland Collaborative.

"Reducing phosphorous loading through wetland conservation is crucial to ensuring the healthy waters of Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay," says Sean Rootham, Conservation Programs Specialist for DUC. "Through the Lake Simcoe Georgian Bay Wetland Collaborative, Ducks Unlimited Canada and our partners will provide landowners opportunities to improve the quality of wetlands on their properly while passing along these benefits to the surrounding community."

The Workshop on Wetlands is a free event, but pre-registration is required. Contact Sean Rootham of Ducks Unlimited Canada at 705-721-4444 ext 232 or s _rootham@ducks.ca.

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority is a public agency dedicated to the preservation of a healthy enviromnent through specialized programs to protect,

Good Afternoon!

We have carefully considered all of the applications received for the current round of Healthy Communities Partnership funding. There were 21 applications received. Our difficulty lay in the fact that the monies requested far exceeded the monies available, but we have done our best to share it equitably across the region and between the two policy priorities of Healthy Eating/Food Security and Physical Activity / Active Transportation. The review committee wants to thank all of our applicants for their patience and their willing to work with us through this process.

I am pleased to inform you that your application on behalf of the Township of Essa has been accepted in the amount of $4984.00. Congratulations! We look forward to seeing the outcome of your plans put into action!

In order to access the funds, you have a couple of options: • Our preference (because it means less paperwork for me! © ) would be that you (or in

the case of community committees) or your lead agency would complete the work and pay your contractors/suppliers/consultants up front, and then submit an invoice(s) to the Health Unit for the total amount. We will see to it that you are reimbursed as quickly as possible.

• For some, however, we recognize that paying up front, out of pocket would be a hardship. In that case, please see to it that invoices are forwarded to me and I will arrange for payment .

There will be a reporting form sent to you in a few weeks. It is our expectation that the form will be completed and returned to me not later than April 15, 2015 or within 30 days of your project completion, whichever comes first.

If you have any questions about these items, please feel free to connect with Health Unit contact, Maria Benjamins, or me as needed. We look forward to working together with you!

County of Simcoe educates students about emergency preparedness

Midhurstl July 3,2014- Recent severe weather in our region has highlighted the importance of being prepared for emergencies and disasters. The County of Simcoe Emergency Management program leads emergency preparedness training for the public across the region .

One of the educational programs that Simcoe County Emergency Management offers, in partnership with local fire services, is the Student Emergency Preparedness (STEP) program.

Launched during Emergency Preparedness Week in May 2012 , the STEP program introduces students to the types of emergencies to prepare for in Simcoe County, such as tornadoes, floods , extreme weather, chemical spills , and power outages. It also helps students learn how to create a family emergency plan, and shows them what to include in an emergency preparedness kit. Students are then encouraged to teach their parents and families about what they have leaned and develop an emergency preparedness kit at home.

Students who participate in the STEP program have the opportunity to enter a draw for a Canadian Red Cross 72-Hour Disaster Kit. This spring , Emergency Management Simcoe County presented the STEP program to more than 1,100 elementary school students across the region. This spring 's winner is Connor Neil, a student at Nottawa Elementary School. Connor was presented with the emergency preparedness kit in front of his classmates on Friday, June 27, 2014.

"Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by the severe weather our region received in recent weeks," said Warden Cal Patterson. "These unfortunate incidents serve as a reminder that we all need to be prepared for disasters. On behalf of County CounCil , I would like to congratulate Connor, and all the partiCipants in the STEP program , for taking an active role in helping our families and communities become better prepared."

To learn more about the STEP program and how to be prepared for an emergency, visit simcoe. ca.

The County of Simcoe is composed of sixteen member municipalities and provides crucial public services to County residents in addttion to providing paramedic and social services to the separated cities of Barrie and Orillia . Visit our webstte at simcoe.ca.

TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE CLERK AND COUNCIL June 16, 2014

Ontario Provincial Election - Post-Election Members Update

Last week's election produced the first maj ority government in Ontario since 201 1. This update will provide you with the expected next steps by the provincial government and the start of our post-election government relations and advocacy work on behalf of municipal governments.

AMO has written to all three party leaders to acknowledge the results and all the hard work expended during the election period. The election results created substantial change in the 107 seat Ontario Legislature with 20 new MPPs including six ridings that had no incumbent running. Working with these new members, their leaders and their caucuses will be a priority for us and the sector.

Members may know that the Legislature is set to resume on July 2nd with a Throne Speech as well as the re­introduction of the Budget Bill. Debate on both is required before they can be approved. The contents of the Budget are already known as the Premier confirmed on election night that the Liberal government would introduce the same Budget as they had before the election. Members interested in more information on the Budget's contents and implications for municipalities can refer to AMO's review of the May 2014 Budget. The majority government makes passage of the Throne Speech and Budget all but certain.

The in-coming Cabinet needs to be appointed and sworn in before the House resumes on July 2nd The announcement on the new Cabinet and its Ministers is expected in the coming days. Once named, the AMO President, Russ Powers, will write to each Minister who has municipal responsibilities or areas of interest with both our congratulations, along with the municipal sector's key priorities in their ministerial portfolio. AMO anticipates that once the Throne Speech and Budget are debated and passed, the Legislative Assembly will adjourn for the summer.

Government and opposition party MPPs will then begin preparing for discussions during the August AMO Annual Conference in London. Information on delegations with Ministers and MPPs will be posted shortly now that the election has occurred. As stated previously, AMO will send a notice to each municipality when more information on delegations is available.

AMO is working on its key interests for the Fall Legislative Session as well as policy matters that require further discussion with the provincial government and all members of the Legislature. Please know that one of our top priorities at this time is working with the government on infrastructure funding, including the Building Canada Fund, so that municipalities can try to take advantage of the remaining construction season as best they can.

TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE CLERK AND COUNCIL June 23, 2014

AMO Report to Member Municipalities

Highlights of the June 2014 Board Meeting

To keep members informed, AMO provides updates on important issues considered at regular AMO Board of Directors' meetings. Highlights of the June 2014 Board meeting include:

AMO Policing Modernization Task Force

The AMO Board approved the terms of reference for a new task force dedicated to the modernization of policing activities. The Task Force will develop recommendations for the AMO Board of Directors ' consideration on the methods for the delivery of core and non-core activities, while considering the safety and security to people and property and those in the service. This includes what can be done differently and how, considering the diversity of Ontario's communities - from large urban to smaller communities. Contact: Matthew Wilson, Senior Advisor, email: mwilson@amo.on.ca. Ext. 323.

Canada Post Response

The Board endorsed the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' (FCM) Three Principles for Community Consultation in regards to the transition of mail delivery to community mailboxes as part of Canada Post's recent Action Plan. Canada Post needs to work with communities to ensure that the locations of community mailboxes meet the community needs, that they are responsible for the upkeep of their infrastructure or compensate municipalities for this work, and that any changes to mail delivery need to align with local strategies aimed at fostering and supporting age/disability friendly communities. Contact: Nicholas Ruder, Policy Advisor, email: nruder@amo.on.ca. Ext. 411.

Federal Gas Tax Fund

The Board approved the submission of the 2013 Gas Tax Fund Interim Annual Expenditure Report to Infrastructure Canada. In 2013 municipalities spent $516 million from the federal Gas Tax Fund on 1,489 active projects worth almost $4.5 billion. The Board had an update on the AMO/LAS/CHUMS initiative to help municipalities of all sizes invest their Gas Tax Funds in the pooled investment program to achieve a better rate of return prior to its need for a capital project. Learn more at www.amo.on.ca/lnvest. Contact: Jay Paleja, Policy Advisor, emai l: jpaleja@amo.on.ca. Ext. 352.

Enbridge: Presentation on Pipeline Safety

Enbridge made a presentation to the AMO Board emphasizing their preventative action programs, such as design standards and maintenance to reduce the likelihood of future pipeline related incidents. As well, they described their disaster planning practice, their traini~cesses with first responders and how they participate

~e spills management process. The Board Members asked many safety-related questions and Enbridge committed to future discussions with AMO and our members.

Electricity Distributors Association (EDA): Update from their Board

In anticipation of the provincial election, the EDA commissioned a report to look at a delivery model to proactively tackle possible provincial directions. This report was presented to the EDA Board on June 19th. The EDA member reaction to the model, "Project Greenlight" was strongly positive. The model promotes the "shoulder to shoulder" configuration for local distribution companies and allocation of Hydro One assets to LDCs. Remote rural areas would be run by a co-op ofLDCs. The AMO Board referred "Project Greenlight" to the AMO Energy Task Force for their review and recommendations back to the AMO Board of Directors.

Blue Box Arbitration Update

The Blue Box Arbitration is now halfway through its scheduled 30 hearing days. It started in April and is to conclude in July with the Arbitrator's decision expected in October 2014. While the arbitration is occurring, arrangements have been made for interim payments to municipal Blue Box programs on the regular quarterly payment schedule. If the Arbitrator orders any additional funding to be paid by the Steward Obligation for 2014, it will be included in the December and March payments. The AMO Board was also briefed that the allocation of arbitration costs, which AMO has incurred on behalf of municipal Blue Box programs, are to be taken from the June and September interim payments. (Details conveyed in previous membership communications.) Recently, the Waste Diversion Ontario board approved this recovery process. Contact: Monika Turner, Director of Policy, email: mturner@amo.on.ca. Ext. 318.

LAS Update

The Board was updated on the LAS LED streetlight retrofit program which is a complete turn-key solution that includes design, procurement, installation, project management, ntility interface, incentive applications, finance, measurement and verification, plus integration with LAS' electricity procurement service. Federal Gas Tax monies can be used for the LED streetlight retrofit program. A demo on LED lighting and controls will be held at the AMO Conference on Sunday at 10:00 p.m. at the end of the City of London's Welcome Reception at the King Street entrance to the London Convention Centre.

AMO Communications <communicate@amo.on.ca > June-24-14 5:26 PM Bonnie Sander Policy Update - New Provincial Cabinet Named

TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE CLERK AND COUNCIL 24,2014

New Provincial Cabinet Named

June

Today Premier Kathleen Wynne appointed her new Cabinet following the June 12'h provincial election. The majority of the new Ministers have served in Cabinet previously but there is some portfolio movement between Ministries. The full list of Cabinet Ministers are listed at the end of this update as all of them have responsibilities that touch municipal governments in either a policy, regulatory, or program manner.

AMO is pleased that a former municipally elected official has been given the Municipal Affairs and Housing portfolio. The Honourable Ted McMeekin is a long standing MPP and former Councillor, City of Hamilton. We look forward to working with Minister McMeekin and his staff under the Memorandum of Understanding Agreement between AMO and the Province. There are numerous municipal priorities that arise from other Ministries and we will look for his leadership at Cabinet to bring them forward.

July 2nd will be the Throne Speech followed by the introduction of the Budget Bill. Legislative rules provide for specific minimum debate times for both. The Premier has confirmed that the Budget Bill (Bill 194) which was introduced in May and which precipitated the election will be reintroduced as originally tabled. We will be monitoring and evaluating this initial short session. We will also be reaching out to Cabinet Ministers that hold priority portfolio matters for municipal governments.

Of particular interest is the implementation of provincial infrastructure program dollars within the $29 billion over four years for its transportation and transit commitment. This includes the $100 million for the Critical Municipal Infrastructure Fund (previously referred to as the Small Urban, Rural and Northern Fund). It also provides for Ontario and Canada to work on the mechanics for the Build Canada Fund and its Small Communities Component. With the provincial election over, there is a short window available for infrastructure project submissions and the requisite government evaluation but first the details of the various programs' design must be confirmed and conveyed to municipalities. AMO is anxious that we find a way to make all of this work administratively so that municipal projects can proceed. With pending municipal elections in the fall, there is some urgency. AMO will keep members posted on what the new Cabinet construct (Ministry of Economic, Development and Infrastructure and Ministry of Transportation) may mean for this.

In addition, AMO's Board is looking for the introduction of the Highway Traffic Act amendment that provided for improved collection tools for unpaid traffic fines. While all Parties supported it in principle, it did not proceed to Standing Committee. AMO believes that this could be an early Bill for re-introduction. The Board is also looking to the new Minister of Environment and Climate Change for an early discussion on waste reduction legislation (formerly Bill 91) that could benefit from some tweaks that would better define the municipal role before it is reintroduced.

AMO's Board is also expecting that the Premier will, as she said in correspondence during the election, commit to discussions on the accountability and transparency legislation that missed the pre-consultation phase when it was introduced in March. '2.'2-

1

~e Budget Bill also made commitments for $42 million enhancement for Community Homelessness Prevention and $25 million for cycling and we will want to have discussions with the lead Ministers about implementation.

In addition, AMO is looking for priority discussions on legislative change to joint and several , and the completion of the Provincial Land tax reform project. Other important matters relate to the OMPF, cost of emergency services, OPP Billing, Development Charges, cost of energy, social assistance reform, Power Dam Special Payment, interest arbitration, land use planning, among others.

At!: Cindy Maher, Clerk

Dear Bonnie, Barb and Cindy:

The Nottawasaga Police Services Board met in regular session on Wednesday, May 28,2014 and discussed the future of policing and the police services board in light of the termination of the contract by the Province,

The Board has expressed concerns to the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services relating to potential impacts the termination of the contract may have on our municipalities and the police services board which have not been addressed by the Province, One of the key concerns is that effective January 1, 2015 there will no longer be a contract for policing and the municipalities will fall under Section 5,1 of the Police Services Act. The police services board would no longer have legislated authority to exist and would therefore cease with the termination of the contract

The Board has always enjoyed a positive working relationship with Nottawasaga OPP and the three municipal partners, however, there is grave concern that without a police services board the local municipalities will lose the ability to provide input into identifying policing priorities, The discussion resulted in the passing of the attached resolution that requests each of the three municipal Councils to consider options and associated costs for policing that would permit the continuance of a police services board,

Your consideration of the attached resolution is respectfully requested,

Sincerely; V) n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Volunteers put the "wiggle" back in Willow Creek

Utopia, Ontario, June 26, 2014 - "We want to put the natural meander, or wiggle, back into the river," Shannon Stephens of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) explained to more than 20 volunteers that came out to help restore Willow Creek on June 26.

Staff from the NVCA and Nature Conservancy of Canada were on-hand to help the volunteers as they gained first-hand experience with conservation work, learned about stream morphology and improved fish habitat.

"Real rivers have curves l " said Ms. Stephens. "This historically dredged and straightened section of the Willow Creek was shallow and featureless with a flat sand bottom. Creating a more natural, meandering, river environment will restore a dynamic mosaic of different habitat types like deep pools, weed flats and sand banks. These habitats are perfect for a variety of fish, frogs, turtles and aquatic life."

The volunteers geared-up in chest waders and learned how to create "wing-deflectors." These are triangular habitat improvement structures constructed by anchoring fresh-cut coniferous trees into the bed of the stream along the banks. These structures narrow the stream and re-align the flow into an "s" shaped meandering pattern.

The work was completed as part of the Nottawasaga Watershed Improvement Program (N-WIP), a Community Action Project for the Lake Huron - Georgian Bay Watershed that is coordinated by a committee of local stakeholders supported by Environment Canada, the Province of Ontario and private donations.

Those interested in volunteering for hands-on restoration projects are welcome to sign up for the NVCA's monthly e-newsletter or visit www.nvca.on.ca for upcoming events. Donations to support NVCA's on­the-ground stewardship projects are always welcome. NVCA is a registered charity and donations are tax deductible .

Mike Schreiner P,O, Box 1132 Station F Toronto, ON, M4Y 2T8

Dear Mr, Schreiner, Leader Green Party of Ontario,

I am in receipt of your letter (attached) sent to Hon, Minister Bill Mauro dated June 26, 2014 that I was copied on, I feel the need to clarify the incorrect information in your letter,

The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) Board of Directors held its regula r monthly meeting on Friday June 27th ,

Your letter references the "discussion regarding the Efficiency Audit report related to the Midhurst mega-development," This is inaccurate, The two items you reference in your letter, the Efficiency Audit and the Midhurst mega-development are two separate issues,

The NVCA Board of Directors has hired a consultant to conduct an Efficiency Audit/Operational Review, The consultant was in attendance on June 27th to provide aspects of his report that are considered appropriate to hold in camera as it was dealing with " personal matters about an identifiable individual. "

On a separate matter held in camera, NVCA Staff were updating the Board of Directors regard ing the Midhurst Development which as you may be aware is currently at the OMB and all parties in mediation, Again, appropriate to hold in camera,

At the NVCA we are an open and transparent organization, In the future, prior to implying to others that we are " not being transparent" I would insist that you contact me to ensure you receive correct information,

Please feel free to contact me if you require further cla ri fication for any other misunderstanding you may have ,

Regards,

Nina Bifolchi Chair, NVCA Board of Directors

June 26, 2014

Dear Hon. Minister Bill Mauro

I'm deeply concerned that the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority is not being transparent in its discussions regarding the Efficiency Audit report relnted to the Midhurst mega-development.

Community and citizens groups concerned about the threats to water, natural heritage and the loss of farmland due to the proposed development in Midhurst have now raised objections to behind closed door discussions related to the proposed development by the NVCA. They are concerned that public policy decisions are being made without proper public consultation . This is unacceptable.

Your Ministry has a respon sibility to oversee Ontario's Conservation Authorities. You have a duty to ensure decisions are made in a transparent and accountable way. You have a responsibi lity to ensure the public IS consulted and that decisions are made that put the public interest before private corporate interests.

Your government has already violated public trust and environmenta l protection by granting exemptions to the Places to Grow Act for the Midhurst mega-development to proceed.

Minister, I believe it is essential for you to ensure Conservation Authority decisions are made in a transparent and accountable way I hope you take this opportun ity to take action to ensure that CAs are strengthened, not further weakened, under your watch .

I also encourage you to ask your new Cabinet colleagues to reconsider exemptions to the Places to Grow Act that allow the Midhurst mega-development to proceed. This development threatens 1,900 acres of farmland , the Minesing Wetlands, the Nottawasaga watershed and important natural heritage.

It is time for the provincial government to put the public interest before those of private developers.

Regards ,

/.;;~ / i _".~ ___ .

Paramedic for a Day

May 25 to 31, 2014 was the inaugural Paramedic Services Week across Canada. Activities were scheduled in Simcoe County to recognize and celebrate the dedica­tion of our front-line paramedic personnel. To help kickoff the week, County of Simcoe Paramedic Services swore in Paramedic for a Oay contest winner, Megan Wales, a Grade 5 student from Goodfellow Public School in Innisfil. For more on Paramedic Services Week, see page 4.

The County of Simcoe hosted the fifth-annual Night at the Museum, raising $13,200 in support of the Georgian Village Fundraising Campaign. Guests were treated to stories of mysterious artifacts from the museum's col­lection through a game of Truth or Fictio~ed by local celebrity guest curators. The Simcoe County Museum featured eight artifacts and led tours of its extensive collection.

Batteries dead? Kick 'em to the curb The concept of a curbside battery collec­

tion program was first presented during a in June 2013 special waste management meeting of Council.

Funds were included in the 2014 budget to develop the program, which takes place November 3-7, 2014. The timing coincides with the end of daylight savings time, when fire departments promote changing of smoke alarm batteries.

Acceptab le batteries will include single­use alkaline-manganese, carbon zinc and zinc air dry cell batteries in AA, AAA, C, 0, 9 Volt sizes and button batteries, in­cluding hearing aid and watch batteries.

Keeping Simcoe County communities connected The Trails Connecting

Communities Program (TCCP) was established in 2009 to assist municipalities in the development of active transportation and recre­ational opportunities, with a

focus on enhancing and/or expanding trail networks for non-motorized uses.

Since its inception, the TCCP has provided more than $750,000 in funding to local municipalities, includ-

ing $102,379 in 2013. There were more TCCP

applications in 2014 than in any previous year, with IS municipalities and one organization applying for $494,570 in funding to assist

with $I.S million in projects. The approved 2014 TCCP

budget is $250,000, howev­er, unspent funds from prior years will be used to cover the difference.

Prescribed burn a success Museum Update County has begun planting 19,000 seedlings

The County of Simcoe completed a successful prescribed burn on 8.7 hectares (22 acres) of the Brentwood Tract in Clear­view Township on May 7, 2014.

The prescribed burn was conducted under the profes­sional guidance of Lands and Forests Consulting.

The County would like to thank all residents for their understanding, local media for helping communicate information to residents, and the Clearview Town­ship Fire and Public Works Departments for their coop­eration and assistance.

The site is fully extin­guished, and the County has begun planting 19,000 seedlings primarily White Pine, with smaller amounts of Red Pine, Larch, and Red Oak.

Paramedic Week celebrates caring professionals Warden Cal Patterson

declared the week of May 25-31 Paramedic Services Week in Simcoe County.

The week celebrates the caring professional paramedics, who, whether

answering calls of distress, responding to the critical needs of our citizens with skill and compassion or providing education to re­duce the burden of chronic disease, remain committed

to their community. Paramedic Services

Week activities celebrate the quality of services pro­vided their communities and promote the educa­tional initiatives.

A different theme is used each year in the Paramedic Services Week promo­tional material; this year's theme is "Our Family Car­ing for You".

Keep our Waterways Beautiful

With summer finally here, Boat Smart

and Ontario's Conservation Areas are

reminding boaters to Boat Clean to

protect our lakes and waterways.

• Leave no trace. Dispose of your

garbage on shore to keep the

waterways beautiful and clean.

• Practice common courtesy. Keep noise down, be aware of the

activities around your boat and respect both the people and the marine

wildlife you're sharing the water with.

• Know your wake. Be aware of the effect of your boat's wake on the

shoreline, on smaller boats and paddle craft, on swimmers and on

marine wildlife .

environmentally-friendly marine detergent before introducing it to a new

waterway.
