We chatted with Regional Chair John Henry and SimonGill, the region's director of eco-nomic development and tourism, about issues to watch for in theyear ahead. Bill 23 is expected tobring challenges, while growth,development and tourism will be good news stories for the region. BILL 23 Municipalities across theprovince have raised concernsabout this controversial legisla-tion, which was passed on Nov. 28and aims to spur developmentand see 1.5 million new homesbuilt in 10 years. Of concern to municipalities,however, is the loss of revenuefrom development fees andcharges, as well as control over new builds. Bill 23 also weakensthe voices of conservation au-thorities across the province, downloads planning responsibil-ities from the region to lower-tiermunicipalities and eliminates WHAT'S AHEAD FOR DURHAM REGION IN 2023?

The Association of Mu-nicipalities of Ontario saidthe legislation "significant- ly" changes how municipalgovernments recover costsassociated with growth.A preliminary analysis from AMO suggests up to$1 billion in costs from pri-vate sector developers will be transferred to propertytax payers. In a statement issued inNovember prior to the ap- proval of Bill 23, Henry saidthe legislation "has unin-tended consequences and widespread implicationsthat impact all Ontarianseconomically, socially andenvironmentally." In an interview afterBill 23 was passed, Henrycontinued to express con-cerns. "I absolutely under-stand the need to buildmore homes, but building more is not going to get usto the affordable part," henoted. "When you use the logic of supply and demand, ifeverybody is trying to meetwhat the province is put- ting forth — there is only somuch lumber, steel con-crete and people, skilled people that build condos,houses and apartmentbuildings. The cost esca-lates and escalates and es- calates."Henry is also concernedabout how the legislation will impact Durham'sthree northern municipal-ities, because the Region ofDurham supplements planning, engineering, IT,legal and economic devel-opment work for them. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTAND TOURISM The coming years willbe big ones on the econom- ic development and tour-ism front in Durham,thanks to a new five-yearplan that has just been un- veiled. The region's "Ready SetFuture: Five Year Econom- ic Development and Tour-ism Strategy and ActionPlan" includes 71 action ar-eas with a focus on attract- ing talented workers, en-hancing the 14 downtownareas in Durham, building Durham's reputation forinnovation and creating amore distinct identity forthe region. "It is a bold, transforma-tional strategy that consid-ered what kind of Durham Region we want 30 years inthe future," Gill said. "These are not small goals;we aspire to big things forDurham. But we believethey are achievable." A lot of work in 2023 willfocus on kicking off thefirst year of goals in the strategy. "We'll be looking at theintersection of energy andautomotive — electrifica- tion and automation of ve-hicles, especially. This isan economic area where Durham can excel, andwhere we can offer some-thing amazing to thesetypes of businesses in Can- ada and across the world,"Gill said. Examples of action items in the plan include:addressing ongoing labourshortages in the agri-foodsector; exploring options for a research and develop-ment park close to post-sec-ondary institutions; host-ing a Future Energy event in Durham for an interna-tional audience; creatingexpert "tactical teams" from Ontario Tech Univer-sity, Trent University Dur-ham GTA, and DurhamCollege to support the re- gion's existing businesseswith technological adop-tion and industrial re- search; refreshing Dur-ham's film sector strategy;and promoting Durham as a weekend destination forvisitors from the GTAthrough a marketing planfocused on "urban excite- ment and country charm."While attracting visi-tors from outside the re- gion will be a focus, Gill al-so said Durham is seeingmajor growth in local resi-dents day-tripping within the community and em-bracing local businesses,attractions and events. "We have seen an in-credible uptick in pride inour local communities —this is one of the most in-de- mand regions to live, with-in the most in-demandcountry in the world. Weare seeing that love of ourcommunity translate intofantastic support for local-ly-owned and operated businesses, and visiting vi-brant local destinations." INVESTMENT AND BIGPROJECTS Durham has severalnoteworthy projects un-derway or on the horizon. Henry is especially proudof the progress on DurhamOneNet Inc., a whollyowned municipal services corporation that will de-sign, build and operate aregional broadband net-work. "Our first fibre is in the ground from Pickering toUxbridge. Our rural mu-nicipalities struggle; thebig players in that field re- ally don't want to take onthose rural locations be-cause it doesn't meet their expectations of profitabili-ty," Henry said. "I'm proudto say the first part of thatinfrastructure was in- stalled on time and underbudget."Gill said other recent in- vestment examples in-clude innovative bakingcompany FGF Brandsmoving into Pickering's In- novation Corridor alongwith the grand opening ofKubota's new Canadianheadquarters; new pro-jects planned for Oshawa'sNorthwood Business Parkand Ontario Power Gener- ation moving forward withplans to establish its head-quarters in Durham,bringing over 2,000 jobs. The bottom line?"The booming growththat Durham Region has been seeing over the lastnumber of years will con-tinue," Gill said. "There is acontinuing strong demand for commercial and indus-trial investment into ourcommunities, with a high volume from both interna-tional and domestic devel-opers." BILL 23 EXPECTED TO BE A MAJOR CHALLENGE: REGION Continued from front A father and daughterwere seriously injured in atwo-vehicle head-on crashin Ajax on Dec. 23.The 37-year-old maleand his 4-year-old daughterare recovering in separate hospitals.

AMUSTSEETOAPPRECIATE! 8163TinkervilleRoad,PortHope•MLS#X5851883•Price:$1,300,000 Do you want to repaint or decorate a room or two in your home? In 2022, warm colours are all the rage. Here are some tips to help you choose the right colour and achieve the desired results. Balance warm shades with cool tones Combine warm colours with cool elements to create a sense of balance. For example, yellow or orange walls go perfectly with a polished concrete floor or wrought iron furniture. Use them in the appro- priate places Yellow is a particularly stimulating colour that has been shown to improve concentration and productivi- ty. Therefore, it’s ideal for your home office or the bedroom. Moreover, red has a restorative, soothing effect, while orange evokes friendli- ness and creativity. Think about the mood you want Do you want to create an intimate or energizing space? Answering this question will help you determine the intensity of the colours to choose. Canary and mustard yellow, for example, evoke two very different moods. Consider the effect of lighting Both natural and artificial lighting can impact colour. Before you start painting, make sure to try the colours in your space. Apply a few samples to the wall to see how your lighting affects the finished result. Do you need help creat- ing the perfect decor? Con- sider consulting an interior designer.

Ashe's Dec. 23 letter toClark reiterates a request he made as deputy mayoron behalf of council in 2020,asking for an MZO regard-ing developing the pro- posed Veraine communityin northeast Pickering onthe Carruthers Creek head- waters, known as "white-belt" land — a grey area be-tween urban and greenbeltland. "I want to stress that theposition of City of PickeringCouncil has (remained) un- changed," Ashe said in hislatest letter. "We believethat Veraine's vision for acomplete, thriving, and sus- tainable community pre-sents the best use of theselands."More than 23,000 people had already signed a peti-tion asking that the head-waters be protected for many reasons, from savinghabitat to reducing floodingdownstream in Ajax.Helen Brenner, Picker- ing resident and co-lead ofStop Sprawl Durham, said the letter "needs to be re-scinded, and if there's a re-quest for this, it needs to go through the democraticprocess at minimum."In May, the Region ofDurham approved a plan to develop 9,300 acres of farm-land as part of its EnvisionDurham study to address provincial growth target-s. Next steps will dictatewhere that land will be,subject to council approval. But in 2020 the regiondid not support the MZO re- quest for several reasons,including its potential toimpact the integrity of the region's Provincial GrowthPlan conformity exerciseand Envision Durham.Ashe noted in emailed responses to questionsfrom Durhamregion.comthat the region has since re- leased mapping which iden-tified the lands in questionto be added to the urbanboundary. But some Pickeringcouncil members have been discussing bringing for-ward a motion to rescindthe plan to develop thatmuch farmland, and four councillors have signed let-ters to the minister, statingtheir concerns with Ashe's letter."Minister Clark, as acouncillor, I believe thatPickering will achieve your targets and do its part tomeet 1.5 million homes,without compromising Northeast Pickering, andask that you refuse this re-quest," said a letter by Ward1Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner, similar to theother three letters.Brenner said council-lors were not consulted, nor was the Mississaugas ofScugog Island First Nation.Ashe said a new council does not automaticallychange existing council po-sitions, bylaws or policies."That said, it is within this new council's preroga-tive should it wish to set a new direction on this or anyother matter," he said.He noted the 2020 MZOrequest received unani- mous support from Picker-ing council.But Brenner said at the time he believed the motionwas relating to a vision and"what changed is informa-tion that I wasn't support- ing a vision anymore, I wassupporting 'a here andnow.'"Ashe said Veraine is "theantithesis to sprawl" andsaid in his letter to Clark de-velopers Northeast Picker- ing Landowners' Group iswilling to add 465 acres ofUrban River Valley lands tothe Greenbelt "thereby pro- tecting lands associatedwith Lynne (Lynde) Creek,Duffins Creek and Carruth- ers Creek." The group is al-so willing to donate 50 acresof land for a potential newhealth-care facility. The letter to Ashe can beseen at actionnetwork.org.

LAFRANCE, Patricia I. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Pat passed away peacefully on December 14, 2022, after fighting a brave battle with cancer. Patricia is survived by her brother Michael (Loreto), her sons Richard (Shannon), Robert, Laurence (Dian Riley), her grandchildren Nikki (Gerald Lanchbery), Michelle (Greg Dionne), Cameron (Skye Danilko), Margot (Greg Young), Andrew and David Lafrance (Jasmine Zaba), and great grandchildren Faith, Charlotte, Layla, William, and Clara. She was predeceased by her husband Gilbert (2021) and brother Mark. Patricia was born to Mark and Sally Hanlan in Noranda, Quebec. She originally worked at Noranda Mines where she met her future husband, Gilbert. They moved from Noranda to the Ottawa Valley in 1962, settling in Pembroke, and later in Deep River where Pat worked at the Bank of Montreal, and Walkers Movers. Following a later move to Pickering, Pat worked part-time in several offices before beginning a full- time career at Ontario Hydro Nuclear, where she worked in the Training and Simulator Services Division performing office and administrative work. During her retirement, Patricia enjoyed travel and music with Gil, and loved meeting people and jamming with other musicians. Pat and Gil enjoyed playing piano and fiddle, and sometimes entertained at seniors' homes. Pat was very fond and proud of her family, enjoying their company and their accomplishments. In her final days, she especially en- joyed the artwork decorating her walls from her great grandchildren, Will and Clara. A service will be held in her honour at McEachnie Funeral Home (28 Old Kinston Road, Ajax) on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, at 1 p.m. with visitation from 12 p.m. The service will be live streamed for those unable to attend in person.
