As a community newspaper reader, you likely know that this blocking of news is a test by some tech companies - a protest against Bill C-18, the federal Online News Act which will force them to enter into deals with Canadian media publishers for using their online news content. With so many significant issues in the news impacting our city, our province and our country, it’s important that whatever actions the tech companies take during this dispute, readers continue to have access to the trusted journalism that helps them understand and navigate their world. Media companies like Torstar, which owns Metroland Media newspapers and web sites, support the law as a necessary tool to get the dominant tech giants to fairly compensate news publishers for use of their editorial content. We know that many of our readers come to us via Meta and Google and there’s obviously a risk that those sources could cut off access during this tumultuous time. Wecanhelpyoustay connected.

How about cute dim- ples, funny facial expres- sions, and, oh yeah, being "the smiliest baby." Say hello to Nyles from Whitby, the winner of the 2023 Canadian Gerber Pho- to Search. The company said on its website that Nyles, who turned one on Jan. 9, "brings a smile to people's faces everywhere he goes." He's also a travellin' man, having visited eight countries so far but prefers the company of his grand- ma and grandpa's house for ice cream. When Nyles can squeeze in the time, he heads to the local library — and Whitby has some great ones — to read about diver- sity and dinosaurs! And he likes to beat time on the drums with his dad. Nyles, despite having a toothless smile, will eat ev- erything, apparently, but really enjoys Gerber Multi- grain Cherries and Berries Toddler Cereal. It's even better when Mom puts in some fresh raspberries. To learn more, check out www.nestleba- by.ca/2023photosearch.

Developers suggested it and the housing minister's chief of staff delivered the Greenbelt land they want- ed — including Pickering's Duffins Rouge Agricultur- al Preserve (DRAP) — ac- cording to a report deliv- ered by Ontario Auditor General (AG) Bonnie Ly- syk Wednesday, Aug. 9. Two parcels of land pur- chased by TACC in 2020 for $7.9M and $3.5M, owned by the De Gasperis family, are within the DRAP, which was off-limits to develop- ment until opened up by the Ford government last fall. They were in addition to numerous other De Gasperis-owned proper- ties in the protected Picker- ing area, now open for resi- dential development. De Gasperis and two other developers were at the centre of a scathing re- port delivered by Lysyk, which was requested by the three opposition leaders in the wake of the Ford gov- ernment's decision to re- move 15 parcels of land from the Greenbelt for housing development last fall. Also targeted was the minister of housing's chief of staff Ryan Amato, who she said was available for "direct access ... (that) re- sulted in certain promi- nent developers receiving preferential treatment. Al- together, those who had ac- cess to the chief of staff at the September 2022 BILD event ended up with land removals that accounted for 6,784 acres, or 92 per cent of the 7,412.64 acres ul- timately removed from the Greenbelt in December 2022," Lysyk wrote. Lysyk said she found "how" the Greenbelt "land sites were selected was not transparent, fair, objective or fully informed." And she pointed out why. The AG said 92 per cent of the 7,400 acres removed from the Greenbelt are five land sites put forward by two developers, one of whom was De Gasperis who had access to the (housing minister's) chief of staff in September 2022. Lysyk traced how the Ford government then amended the Greenbelt following the recommendations of the developers through the chief of staff, and, impor- tantly repealed the DRAP Act in December 2022, clearing the way for future development. She also estimated the total profit developers could reap from the now available Greenbelt lands might total $8.3B. The Municipal Property Assessment Corp., has said the Pickering site could in- crease in value alone by over $6.6B. It comprises more than 50 per cent of the land removed from the Greenbelt alone. Ford said in news con- ference Wednesday devel- opers had not been tipped off Greenbelt lands were going to be removed and al- lowed for development. But he did admit the process was flawed. "While we'll never wa- ver in our commitment to build more homes, we know there are areas for improvement as we move forward," Ford said. "We were moving fast. We could have had a better process." Calls came quickly from opposition leaders at Queen's Park for Housing Minister Steve Clark to re- sign. "Ontarians deserve bet- ter than a government that enriches a select number of party donors at the ex- pense of hard-working On- tarians," NDP leader Marit Stiles said in a news re- lease. "This is not about Mr. Ford, this is not about politics, this is about rein- stating Ontarians' trust in their government. Trust that this government has seriously eroded." Meanwhile, the City of Pickering is anticipating a subdivision application in the coming weeks for part of the land at the heart of Wednesday's AG report. Pickering's chief plan- ner Catherine Rose said in an email, the city has not received a development ap- plication for the lands re- moved from the Greenbelt. "However, at the request of the landowner, the city has held a formal precon- sultation meeting, in prep- aration for the submission of an application for a draft plan, for some of the lands," she said. "Doug Ford has basical- ly taken development and land use planning back 50 years from an environmen- tal point of view," said Pick- ering resident Craig Bam- ford in an interview. According to Rose, the preliminary concept for the incoming development proposal includes: • Around 1,300 residen- tial dwelling • Blocks for parks, a school, stormwater ponds, mixed uses and natural heritage areas • It will be on roughly 200 acres • It will be located at the south end of the lands re- moved from the Greenbelt (adjacent to the CP Railway tracks, generally centred on Rosebank Road) The city is anticipating receipt of the application by the end of August. "When the application comes in, it will be checked to ensure it is complete with all required studies and application fees," Rose said. It will then be circulat- ed, for comment, to all re- quired city and regional departments and agencies. Critics continue to fight development of the land. "We feel like a Mack Truck is coming at us," Bamford said. Stop Sprawl Durham is planning a rally for Sun- day, Aug. 13, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., at Pickering-Ux- bridge MPP Peter Bethlen- falvy's office. The group released a statement on Friday, Aug. 4, stating the integrity of Rouge National Urban Park (RNUP) adjacent to the agricultural preserve and affordability for Pick- ering residents is threat- ened by the removal of the 4,700-acre DRAP from the Greenbelt. The group referenced a strong case the DRAP be returned to the Greenbelt, which was made by former Scarborough MP and fed- eral environment minister Pauline Browes. In 1999, Pickering, the Region of Durham and the province had negotiated to sell public lands with ease- ments to protect the DRAP land for agricultural uses in perpetuity. DRAP was included in the Greenbelt in 2005. A study ordered by the federal government on the impacts of developing DRAP would have on RNUP is still underway. – With files from Kristen Calis PICKERING GREENBELT LAND REMOVAL NOT 'FAIR, TRANSPARENT' TIM KELLY tkelly@durhamregion.com NEWS DEVELOPER STANDS TO MAKE OVER $6B ACCORDING TO MPAC ASSESSMENT; HAD ACCESS TO HOUSING MINISTER'S CHIEF OF STAFF A fisherman works a corner of Duffins Creek in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve back in May 2022.

"We're definitely seeing trends in terms of people wanting new, fresh experi- ences, in some cases close to home," said Jacquie Sev- ers, manager of marketing and tourism at Durham Tourism. Visitors from Toronto looking for a change of scenery and an inviting streetscape are coming to Durham, dining at a local independent restaurant, such as Surf Kitchen and Bar in downtown Whitby, and staying overnight in a hotel, motel or bed and breakfast. "Foodies are connecting with each other and explor- ing further away from home in terms of trying something new," Severs said. In the heart of Whitby's charming downtown, the Southern California-in- spired Surf serves up small plates and tacos and vi- brant drinks. The fun and vibrant place has a bit of a big-city vibe, but fits in well with its surroundings. "I think the downtown Whitby core is evolving and there's so many unique little shops and restau- rants that are not chains," said Surf's co-owner, Ra- chel Hern. "And I feel a lot of people want to support local now or at least what's local to the downtown and I think downtown Whitby can really provide that. It's kind of an all-in-one-stop shop." The same can be said for several Durham down- towns, such as the Victori- an main street of Port Per- ry and the historic city cen- tre in Bowmanville. And it's not just people from outside of Durham that are supporting the tourism industry. "One of the really excit- ing things about living in Durham and behaving as a tourist is it's possible to es- cape what your sort of day- to-day is not too far from home," Severs said. The tourism industry was hit hard everywhere during the COVID-19 pan- demic, with restaurants shutting down or only of- fering delivery or takeout, shops closed, and large events cancelled. In Dur- ham, the sports tourism in- dustry felt an impact, with tournaments being can- celled at local sports are- nas, impacting hotels and restaurants. In 2020, hotel stays were down in Durham during the thick of the pandemic, but started climbing back up in 2021, and have contin- ued to improve. "Now we're sort of past that recovery stage and back into growth again," Severs said. The Durham Region 2023 Ontario Parasport Games were recently held in multiple Durham ven- ues. The federal government has been infusing money into local economies to help tourism-oriented pro- grams recover from the pandemic and to welcome back visitors. Pickering Museum Village recently received $95,000 through the Federal Economic De- velopment Agency for southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario). "The Pickering Museum Village will be welcoming back visitors from all over southern Ontario to enjoy exhibits at Durham's larg- est community museum," said Filomena Tassi, minis- ter responsible for FedDev Ontario in a press release. The museum, in part- nership with the City of Pickering and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, will have a new experience available on the Greenwood Trail in the fall of 2023. The Anne and Maud Trail will include nine interpretive signs that feature a look into the life of author Lucy Maud Montgomery and provide an opportunity for visitors to create their own story as they take a journey through the outdoors. Pickering Museum Vil- lage made the best of a bad situation when it was shut down due to COVID-19. "We were already sort of thinking how to breathe new life into our site," said Ellen Tayles-Armstrong, the museum's acting cura- tor. So, when the pandemic hit, museum staff worked on ways to improve the mu- seum and programming. "Our programs and events are definitely on an upswing since COVID," Tayles-Armstrong said. The museum took the time to enhance program- ming for the 175-year-old Greenwood Blacksmith Shop, which now features a new hands-on exhibit, of- fering different activities for kids. "People are really re- sponding well to what we're doing," Tayles-Armstrong said. For example, the muse- um's Christmas program in 2022 attracted more than 1,000 guests just in one weekend. "So, we're definitely picking up speed in that re- gard," she said. Ghost Walk Tours launched in 2021 at the Greenwood site, featuring a ghostly one-hour guided walk. "It was so popular that we had to add extra dates in the fall," Tayles-Armstrong said. "And this year we de- cided to pilot a waterfront ghost walk." The program is starting to pick up speed, and is eas- ily accessible for people in Durham and outside of the area, just minutes south of Hwy. 401. It's one of the attractions that provides a more urban experience for people who live in the north end of Dur- ham. On the other hand, Sev- ers said if you live near the 401, it's just a quick drive to get to a roaming country- side. The Durham Tourism website offers various ac- tivities in Durham. For ex- ample, as apple season ap- proaches, Durham Tour- ism has laid out different activities for apple-lovers within the region. "There's a variety of ap- ple adventures you can have here," Severs said. Newcastle is known as the apple capital of Canada, and there are plenty of oth- er local places offering up the tasty fruit. Visitors and locals ali- ke can pick-their-own ap- ples at Algona Orchards in Newcastle, Brooks Farms in Uxbridge and many oth- ers, and can visit a local ci- dery at Two Blokes Cider in Seagrave. "We're known for apple fritters," Severs said. Apple-lovers can buy some of these freshly- baked treats from one of the experts, such as Hank's Pastries in Port Perry or Tyrone Mills in Bowman- ville.

Two suspicious early- morning fires in Ajax have prompted a police investi- gation, and officers are ap- pealing to the public for in- formation or video foot- age. The first fire occurred on Aug. 6 at roughly 4:25 a.m. in the Harwood Ave- nue and Chapman Drive a- rea. Emergency crews re- sponded to a vehicle on fire on a residential driveway. The second fire, at roughly 5 a.m. on the same day, involved multiple businesses on fire at a pla- za in south Ajax in the Westney Road South and Bayly Street West area. There were no reported injuries due to either fire. The Office of the Fire Marshal attended the scenes and both fires have been deemed suspicious. Police do not know if the two fires are related.

AJAXRoofin g . c o m A Proud recipient of the Readers’ Choice Awards for the Past 12 Years! The campaign expens- es of an Ajax candidate for mayor in the 2022 munici- pal election will be audit- ed, following a decision by a committee. The compliance audit committee met on Thurs- day, Aug. 3 after the Town of Ajax received a request by a member of the public for an audit of the cam- paign expenses of two can- didates. "I truly believe that I will be exonerated," said Arthur Augustine, follow- ing the decision of the committee to appoint an auditor to investigate. "It will stop at the next level, I truly believe." Augustine was unsuc- cessful in the election against Mayor Shaun Col- lier. The committee also dis- cussed an audit request of Ward 2 local councillor Nancy Henry's campaign expenses, but voted against it. The person who sub- mitted the complaints, Brian Johnson, said there was no listing of sources or funds whatsoever by Augustine, and his ex- penses seemed "a little too rounded." He also said Augustine seemed to recycle old signs and there was no declaration of a carry- over asset. Augustine spoke before the committee and thanked Johnson for pointing out the errors in his financial presentation. "It was genuine errors," Augustine said. "I am not an accountant, I am not very skilful with figures." He said his expenses were minimal and he con- ducted a grassroots cam- paign. He admitted none of his signs were new, which is no secret since he has en- vironmental concerns. He's made corrections to the expenses and said $3,100 in funds were from his own pocket for various expenses, and he estimat- ed the remaining $2,000 that he declared was the fair market value for his signs. Augustine questioned the motivations behind the complaints and said he felt targeted. He has 14 days to appeal the decision. As for Henry, who end- ed up winning her seat in the election, Johnson had concerns about her web- site, which Henry secured before the 2022 election. The Municipal Elections Act states an expense should not be incurred outside of the election campaign period. Henry won the election by less than 40 votes. "The spending for this site could have given her the advantage she needed and was unfair to any and all other candidates," Johnson said. "By way of response, the allegation is false," Henry said in a written re- sponse. She said she began us- ing NancyHenry.com in 2010 when she first ran for office. After losing the election, she continued to use it to share events or post about volunteer op- portunities. She said she had the website rede- signed in the coming years, based on whether an election was taking place or not. She also pointed out other councillors who have had similar long-run- ning websites and said she felt she was targeted. The committee will pro- vide written reasons for both decisions. AUDITOR TO REVIEW MAYORAL CANDIDATE'S EXPENSES Arthur Augustine, who ran in the 2022 municipal election in Ajax, will have his campaign expenses audited.

The zone will be based out of the college's Barret Centre Ajax Urban Farm, located at Rossland Road and Harwood Avenue, is being designed to address ongoing challenges in food security and supply chains by using urban agriculture to educate the community on nutrition and food ac- cess, as well as offering a means of incorporating lo- cal, healthy food into their lifestyle. "Food insecurity and supply chain constraints can lead to a lack of nutri- tious food that is accessible to the community, espe- cially those who may be un- able to locate a variety of food close to home," said Brenna Bizley, partnership manager at the Barrett Centre. "Having education- al materials in conjunction with the Barrett Centre Ajax Urban Farm will have an exponential impact on the community as people learn about the impact of food on their health and the importance of growing lo- cally." The new facility will in- clude three garden models — a pollinator garden, home garden, and balcony garden — and will act as a template community mem- bers can follow to grow their own gardens. The In- novation Zone is scheduled to open in fall 2023 and will also support the communi- ty with resources and ma- terials available on its Bar- rett Centre Community Portal. "Thank you to Durham College for partnering with the Town to be able to offer these important resources to our community.," said Ajax Mayor Shaun Collier of the project, which re- ceived funding from the Ajax Partnership Fund. "This investment reinforc- es Ajax's commitment to being a municipal leader in green and sustainable practices to ensure a healthier Ajax for all." Community members will get the chance to ex- plore the farm and the new Food Literacy Innovation Zone during an open house planned for October 2023 once construction is com- plete.

CNE Superwheel CNE Bandshell Ontario Power Genera- tion is officially halfway through the refurbishment of its Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. On Aug. 8, the company hosted a celebration to mark the completion of Unit 3, which was recon- nected to the grid on July 17, 169 days ahead of the planned schedule. "This is an historical ac- complishment, two down, two to go," said Subo Sin- nathamby, senior vice president of nuclear refur- bishment for OPG, of the overall project, which still has two units left to be re- furbished. "We brought Unit 3 back safely, with quality, ahead of schedule and on budget. We've done this not once, but twice so it's not luck, we know how to do refurbish- ment here." The project has already seen Unit 2 completed and returned to the grid in June 2020, which was also ahead of schedule and under bud- get. With Unit 3 now back online, it will provide an additional three terawatt hours of energy to the grid, or enough to power 350,000 homes. "I commend the entire team," said OPG CEO Ken Hartwick. "You should all be proud of what you did, proud of what you're doing and proud of what you will be doing." Energy Minister Todd Smith commended the OPG team, and said the successful completion bod- ed well for not only the rest of the refurbishment pro- ject, but also other projects at the site, including the re- cently announced con- struction of four small modular reactors. "With growth on the ho- rizon, we've got to start planning today for in- crease in demand in the 2030s and beyond," said Smith. "I'm often asked what gives our government the confidence to move for- ward with, and arguably lead the world, on nuclear projects. My answer is 'look around,' it's every single person here today. That's what gives me the confi- dence we can deliver on these projects on time and on budget. Today is a per- fect example, to complete this 169 days ahead of schedule is remarkable." The project still has two units remaining to be re- furbished, Unit 1 and Unit 4, which are expected to be completed in 2025 and 2026, respectively. The project has also tak- en advantage of Ontario's existing nuclear supply chain, with about 96 per cent of the project costs spent in the province, ben- efiting more than 260 com- panies. The $12.8 billion project is expected to gen- erate $90 billion in econom- ic benefits for the province and create more than 14,000 jobs. "This work has created thousands of construction jobs at the station each year of the project and will preserve thousands of per- manent local jobs as the station continues to gener- ate a significant portion of Ontario's electricity needs," said Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster. "We celebrate, along with OPG, the completion of Unit 3 at Darlington. OPG is a val- ued community partner, and this is a major mile- stone in their important re- furbishment project."

What a brilliant plan! Protecting anatural corridor along the south edge of the Canadian Shield, a great swath of bogs, fens, rock barrens and woods that are home to dozens of Ontario's species at risk. Where frogs splash, turtles bask on mossy logs and whip-poor-wills call at dusk and dawn, a poignant sound too many of us haven't heard since child- hood. It's all there waiting, just needing us to find out about the grand opportuni- ty and help it happen. It was far-seeing mem- bers of the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust who came up with the big pic- ture. They'd been mapping the rich complex of wet- lands that wander east along the bottom of the shield and remarking about the wealth of biodi- versity, when they realized that it formed a vital link between three provincial parks and their precious ecosystems — a wildlife highway helping gene pools stay healthy and connect- ed. By good fortune, some 60 per cent of the 100,000 hect- ares stretching from Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Pro- vincial Park to Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park to Silent Lake Provincial Park is unceded Crown land with huge potential for added protection, given Canada's critical commit- ment to preserving 30 per cent of our lands and wa- ters by 2030, our share in the global save-the-climate initiative. Galvanized by the possibilities, the vision- ary land trust people swung into action, presenting the Highlands Corridor Con- servation Reserve concept to MPPs at Queen's Park, who listened with interest. Private landowners are another key component of the project, and the Hali- burton Highlands Land Trust has a great way to help them safeguard valu- able natural features of properties they love, gain- ing tax benefits at the same time. The successful Part- ners in Conservation pro- gram already covers 1,700 hectares. Mining companies, for- esters and ATV enthusiasts all have an interest there, and it will take many part- ners working together to bring the Highlands Corri- dor to fruition, in consulta- tion with the Williams Treaties First Nations. But how wonderful for every- one when that happens, es- pecially our children and grandchildren! There's so much carbon locked up in those bogs, fens and forests, lessening the impact of cli- mate change on our pre- cious planet, and this "nat- ural solution" makes so much sense. So please, help spread this good-news story. Watch the inspirational video created by the land trust team and share the link. Phone your MPPs and tell 'em you love the High- lands Corridor concept, then make a donation to- ward the effort — quick and easy to do on the HHLT website. And most of all, talk it up with your friends. It feels so good, being able to help save the world. For more information, visit www.highlandscorri- dor.ca.
