Jason Liebregts/Metroland A builder got the OK to devel-op a building that will be more than 50 storeys in Pickering. Mentioned at the latest plan-ning and development committee meeting, it was the only matter forconsideration on Monday, May 2.The committee also heard pro-posals by a landscaping and pool business in Claremont that'sbeen met with criticism. PLANNING MEETING • The committee unanimouslyapproved a zoning bylaw amend- ment application to allow for theconstruction of two new residen-tial buildings — 46 and 54 storeys— in Pickering as part of the six- condo development, UniversalCity, located at 1470 Bayly St.The current zoning bylaw al- lows 38 storeys and the developeris requesting to build higher.The proposal includes 1,067units; 702 residential; 160 visitor and 536 bicycle parking space; 842square metres of commercialspace; and a public piazza. The matter will go beforecouncil for ratification later thismonth. INFORMATION MEETING Staff presented a zoning by-law amendment application by 197229 Ontario Inc., a numberedlandscaping and pool mainte-nance company, to legally oper- ate in Claremont. The site currently has a trailer,as well as numerous vehicles and afence, which were moved there af- ter it was purchased in 2017.The owner was later notifiedof a violation by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority(TRCA) after they had placed ille-gal fill on the property. The Cityof Pickering also issued a notice of zoning contravention for the il-legal operation of the business onthe property. When Ward 2 regional coun-cillor Bill McLean asked why thecompany went ahead withoutproper permits, the planner re- presenting the applicant, GrantMorris, said they were not awarethere was a problem until they hired him and he made themaware.He said his client has also sub-mitted studies requested by the TRCA.The applicant wants to be ableto legally operate on the property and to store equipment there,meaning the trailer would re-main, as well as the existing ship-ping and outdoor storage area. The applicant also wants to cre-ate a metal storage barn and sev-en parking spaces.A portion of the property in- cluding a wetland would be envi-ronmentally protected.The City is requiring a num- ber of matters to be addressed be-fore the planning and develop-ment committee can consider theapplication at a later date, which includes resolving the issue withthe TRCA.

Katherine Ross, Waste Management Technician for the Region of Durham talks everything Waste. Send your waste related questions or comments to waste@durham.ca If you require this information in an accessible format, please call 1-800-667-5671 •durham.ca/waste A made-in-Durham solution: Turning waste into energy Durham Region is building a Mixed Waste Pre-sort (MWP) and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Facility that will convert organic waste into renewable natural gas as a source of energy and digestate (a compost-like product), into a beneficial agricultural fertilizer. The new facility will be located next to the Durham York Energy Centre (DYEC) in Clarington. The MWP component of the facility will remove materials—such as organics, metals, and non-combustibles—from garbage collected at the curb and from multi-residential buildings. This will not replace or eliminate the current Green Bin or Blue Box programs. Instead, the MWP will sort out organics and recyclables from the garbage bags that should have gone into the green bin or blue box. This will be particularly beneficial for residents of multi-residential buildings who currently do not have access to the Green Bin program. AD is a natural process that uses microbes found in the environment to break down waste in the absence of oxygen. This process naturally produces methane, which will be collected and cleaned for use as renewable natural gas (RNG); essentially converting organic materials, such as food scraps, into an energy source. There are many environmental benefits with a new Mixed Waste Pre-sort and Anaerobic Digestion Facility: More renewable energy The new facility is anticipated to generate approximately 4 million cubic metres of valuable renewable natural gas by capturing methane that would otherwise be released into the environment. Greenhouse gas reduction The renewable natural gas generated has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 7,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by the year 2025. This is the most significant reduction of GHG from the short-term initiatives currently proposed by the Region. Attraction of low-carbon industries The new facility will create a local opportunity within the Energy Park and Clarington to attract future clean-energy and low-carbon innovative industries. More diversion By sending Durham’s garbage to the new facility first, to remove items that should not be in the garbage, less garbage will be sent to the DYEC. This will increase diversion rates and defer the need to expand the DYEC. Watch our video at durham.ca/ADProject to see how the Mixed Waste Pre-sort and Anaerobic Digestion Facility will work with Durham’s waste management program. The Pickering Panthers are champions of the Ontario JuniorHockey League.Pickering beat the Toronto Jr. Canadiens 4-3 on Sunday, May 15in game seven of the champion-ship series.Now, the Panthers are playing in the Centennial Cup in Este-van, Saskatchewan.This is the first time the Cen- tennial Cup has been played forsince 2019, as 2020 and 2021 werewiped out by the pandemic.It's the first time the Panthers have won the league title since1985-86, when they played in theMetro Toronto Jr. B Hockey League.Team coach and GeneralManager Rob Pearson said, "I'mreally happy. Obviously to see the smiles, the joy from the play-ers, the families that came out onthe ice. The moms, the dads, thegrandparents, the sisters orbrothers. It's a great feeling tocome to an end to the OJHL sea-son and see everybody in such a great mood, smiling for the suc-cess this team has had so far."The Panthers flew out onTuesday, May 17. The team plays its first gameon Thursday, May 19. Each teamgets four games and then they are seeded."I had someone ask me lastnight 'did you know at training camp it was going to be like this'and truthfully, we didn't. We lostseven or eight players beforecamp started. We were in a bit of scramble mode, (Assistant Gen-eral Manager/Director of Scout-ing) Scotty Nicholson and myself looking for players," he said.After signing a couple of play-ers, others started contacting theteam about playing, he added. Navigating the season present-ed challenges, as the league wasshut down in January when the Omicron variant was prevalent."It was just different. I thinkgoing through COVID last yearand not playing at all, the boys were just hungry. The kids justadapted to everything throughCOVID, they understood. It's been tough on them .... The OJHLdid a fantastic job getting all thegames in for the kids and play thegame that they love and miss for so long," he said.He noted the Toronto serieswas a tough one for his team."It was a seven-game series and we got the last bounce. At theend of the day, we got the lastbounce with 37 seconds remain- ing. It could easily have beenthem sitting here talking aboutwinning the championship,"Pearson said. Zach Roy "he's been our back-bone. He played great. Thesegames were high scoring games on both sides, but he had to makea million quality saves and keptus in it," Pearson said. The Pickering Panthers celebrate their Buckland Cup victory at the Scotiabank Pond on May 15. The Panthers defeated the Toronto Jr. Canadiens 4-3 in game seven of the series and they now play in the Centennial Cup in Estevan, Saskatchewan.

They reportedlywanted the flag taken downbecause of their religiousbeliefs.The flag raising was onTuesday, May 17 in honour of International DayAgainst Homophobia, Tran-sphobia, and Biphobia.In a statement, the board said, "We are deeplydisappointed that somestudents chose to disrupt this important event andwant to be clear that thisbehaviour is unacceptable.Dr. Roberta Bondar P.S. is committed to fostering alearning environment thatcelebrates, supports, re- spects, values, and embrac-es all forms of diversity. "Public education isgrounded in the impor- tance of recognizing allidentities and upholdingour responsibilities underthe human rights code. Weare investigating the inci-dent and will be addressing the inappropriate conductwith students and follow-ing up with those responsi-ble to help ensure a safe and caring learning envi-ronment," the statementadded. Jake Farr, the presidentof PFLAG Durham Region,said the incident was "aw-ful," noting he only heard about it."We're a partner withDDSB and we've been a working community part-ner with them in develop-ing education and howthey support this. So, from our standpoint, it's alwaysa sad, frustrating sort ofday. Interestingly enough,it's those things that high- light the fact that there's somuch work that needs to be done," Farr said.He does view the inci-dent as a teachable mo-ment. "Absolutely. Obviouslyfrom the perspective ofmaking sure all the 2SLGBTQI students andstaff at the school or withinthe DDSB feel safe. Weneed to make sure that healing happens. And,then look at that as: whatare we missing? What's been missed to have a spacewhere youth feel they canspeak up against a minori-ty group instead of just al- lowing each group to bewho they are?" Farr asked.If he could speak to thechildren, he would ask them what it means tothem. "When we are able totalk to the people that havethis space, you know, whatis it about it, what are the things that worry you,what are the things you carry?
