Notice of Motion
a) To Express Concern to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change
regarding Strada Aggregates' Proposal for the Approval of Mobile Crushing
and Screening Units, and related Environmental Concerns
Moved by Councillor Johnson
Seconded by Councillor Pickles
Whereas Strada Aggregates located at 81 Notion Road in the Town of Ajax, in
the Region of Durham, in the Province of Ontario have an application before
the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change seeking approval of mobile
crushing and screening units related to their aggregate producing company.
Whereas emissions to the atmosphere include particulate matter and products
of combustion such as nitrogen oxides.
Whereas Pickering residents in the vicinity of Strada Aggregates have already
expressed issue with being impacted by the high level of dust and noise.
Whereas it is now before the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change,
and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs Environmental Registry to post any
proposals that may be environmentally significant.
Whereas the City of Pickering is concerned about the impacts to its area
residents and wish to express their concern about this application to the
Ministry of Environment and Climate Change.
Now therefore be it resolved that this Notice of Motion be forwarded to the
Application Assessment Officer at the Ministry of Environment and Climate
Change, Ministry of Municipal Affairs, the Region of Durham, the Town of Ajax,
and Local Members of Provincial Parliament expressing the City's concern
about the environmental and health impacts to area residents with respect to
this application (EBR Registry Number 012-67 43, Ministry Reference Number
0405-A6SQJ8).
b) Rail Safety
Moved by Councillor Brenner
Seconded by Councillor Mclean
Whereas matters of rail safety is a priority to Transport Canada under the
Railway Safety Act.
23
24
Whereas it is illegal to be on any railway property without lawful authorization
under the Railway Safety Act.
Whereas the Lakeshore CN Rail runs abutting to the populated urban area of
Pickering.
Whereas sections between Whites Road and Liverpool Road lack any form of
fencing that would prevent access onto the rail lines.
Whereas sections of rail west of Liverpool Road along Bayly Street are less
than three metres from both pedestrian sidewalks and bus stops.
Whereas the lack of fencing poses a public safety risk to the residents of
Pickering.
Now therefore be it resolved that the City of Pickering request Transport
Canada to direct CN to erect chain link fencing along the entire CN Corridor
abutting Bayly Street between Whites Road East and Liverpool Road.
And copies of this motion be forwarded to The Honourable Marc Garneau,
Minister of Transport Canada and Jennifer O'Connell, MP, Pickering-Uxbridge.
c) Noise Attenuation Techniques in the
City of Pickering Lakeshore Rail System
Moved by Councillor Ashe
Seconded by Councillor Brenner
Whereas Metrolinx is currently undertaking two reviews as part of The Big
Move Transportation Master Plan.
Whereas both the third rail enhancements for the Rouge Hill GO Station and
the potential GO Rail Electrification on the Lakeshore East Corridor which runs
parallel to the City of Pickering urban area is intended to improve passenger
service and help reduce road congestion and gas emissions.
Whereas it will also result in a negative impact on the abutting residents and
businesses as a result of noise associated with increased rail service.
Whereas there are many innovative and creative measures that can be used
to help minimize the impact of noise associated with rail service.
Now therefore be it resolved that the City of Pickering request Metrolinx to
incorporate into their projects within the City of Pickering Lakeshore Rail
system, the introduction of noise attenuation features such as walls, living
walls, trees, berms or a combination of same.
And that copies of this resolution be forwarded to J. RobertS. Prichard, Chair,
Metrolinx, The Honourable Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation, Joe
Dickson, MPP, Ajax-Pickering, and The Honourable Tracy MacCharles, MPP,
Pickering-Scarborough East.
d) Unfair Treatment of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
and Their Families
Moved by Councillor Mclean
Seconded by Councillor Brenner
Whereas the Provincial Government and Ministry of Child and Youth Services
announced $333 million over five years for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Whereas eliminating a wait list for Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention (EIBI)
for the youngest children means families will have access to important
treatment sooner. However families who have been on the waiting list for
Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) services for many years are being
doubly penalized by not having had access to the best early interv~ntion for
their children and by learning they will now not receive this service by being
discharged from the waiting list.
Whereas IBI therapy costs roughly $50,000 per year, per child. For the many
children who are now being taken off the wait lists or phased out of programs,
the service will be replaced by a one-time funding of $8,000 per child,
equivalent to roughly two months of IBI therapy, to obtain services while
transitioning to school and public supports -services that are not related or
compare to IBI. ·
Whereas concerns from Autism experts, service providers and other
advocates, condemn the government's new strategy.
Whereas as with these proposed changes in funding, the Province has acted
in a manner contrary to the values of Ontarians "the value that Ontarians place
on caring, supporting and investing in the most vulnerable members of our
community" and is acting contrary to the United Nations Charter of Rights of
Persons with Disabilities, "persons with .disabilities have the right to the
enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health without discrimination
on the basis of disability'' and also states that people have a right to the
services specifically required for the management of their disability. These
clauses are inclusive of all people, not just the ones the government sees fit.
Whereas other advocates expressed profound disappointment that the new
"autism strategy" announcement contained no details whatsoever for either·
school or adult programs.
25
26
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council for the City of Pickering:
1 . Stress to the Government of Ontario and the Ministry of Child and
Youth Services the immediate need to reinstate adequate funding for
children in need of IBI Therapy regardless of age.
2. Provide copies of this motion to The Honourable Kathleen Wynne,
Premier of Ontario, The Honourable Tracy MacCharles, Minister of
Child and Youth Services, MPP, Patrick Brown, Leader of the
Conservative Party of Ontario and MPP, Andrea Horwath, Leader of
the Provincial New Democratic Party.
3. And copies to be forwarded to Durham Regional Council, York Regional
Council, Peel Regional Council and the City of Toronto requesting
endorsement of this motion.
