February 24, 2015 DELIVERED BY E-MAIL ALL ONTARIO MUNICIPALITIES Re: Town of Aurora Council Resolution of February 10, 2015
Motion (e) Councillor Thompson; Re: Bill 52, the Protection of Public Participation Act
Please be advised that this matter was considered by Council at its Council meeting held on February 10, 2015 and in this regard Council adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS the Provincial Government has recently introduced “Bill 52, Protection of Public Participation Act, 2014”; and WHEREAS Bill 52 seeks to amend the Courts of Justice Act, the Libel and Slander Act and the Statutory Powers Procedure Act in order to protect expression on matters of public interest; and WHEREAS Bill 52 is commonly referred to as Anti-SLAPP legislation and is intended to enact many of the recommendations put forward by the Anti-SLAPP Advisory Panel of 2010; and WHEREAS SLAPP litigation, an acronym for Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, is a tactic which is often viewed as a means to silence, intimidate and deter people from participating in discussions on matters of public interest; and WHEREAS the Province has stated that the ability to freely participate in public discussion about matters of public interest, without fear of retribution, is fundamental to a fair and democratic society. NOW THEREFORE BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED THAT the Town of Aurora express its support for Bill 52 which should help protect and encourage freedom of expression on matters of the public interest and discourage the use of the courts in ways that unduly limit that freedom; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor be requested to write a letter and forward this resolution to the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, Chris Ballard, MPP for Newmarket-Aurora, and to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO); and

From: Paul KraehlingCc: Karen Loney; Erica Arnett; Wayne Caldwell; Paul KraehlingSubject: NEW RESOURCE - Healthy Rural Communities Tool Kit - A Guide for Rural MunicipalitiesDate: February-23-15 9:45:47 AM
Dear Municipal Staff Leader,
Please share the following information with individuals within your administration.
A new tool kit resource has been prepared that identifies land use and development strategies to enhance the rural built environment and contribute to positive quality of life/health outcomes. The tool kit brings a rural lens to issues that are often viewed from an urban perspective. Numerous examples and innovative practices from across the province are profiled. This tool kit recognizes many characteristics associated with rural communities including a low density population, a declining population in some areas, aging citizens, youth out migration, rural land uses, and an economy that is significantly different from that of urban Ontario. The tool kit includes the following objectives:• To identify existing effective land use planning policies and models of practice for healthy rural built environments.• To recognize the benefits of a coordinated approach to rural planning and development that uses a range of regulatory and non-regulatory tool• To identify innovative land use planning policies and initiatives that can contribute to healthy communities and healthy populations.
For more information on this project or the accompanying literature please visit: www.ruralhealthycommunities.ca
This tool kit was made possible through a Locally Driven Collaborative Project, funded by Public Health Ontario.
