Resolution #191/70
MOVED by Councillor J. Kruger~.seconded by Deputy Reeve G. Ashe,
that whereas the Townshjp of ~ckering made an approach to the
Corporation of Metropolitan Toronto by way of resolution in
December, 1968, for amalgamation of the whole of the Township
with Metropolitan Toronto as either a Borough or with some other
special status which would preserve the Township as a separate
political entity;
AND WHEREAS the Corporation of Metropolitan Toronto has not as
yet informed the Township of its intent to proceed in a definite
way with the foregoing amalgamation;
AND WHEREAS because the O~A,D~S. Study had not shown to the
satisfaction of the Township of Pickering that an Oshawa centered
region was by itself economically viable, and therefore a Metro
Toronto amalgamation was the only reasonable conclusion for the
urban residents of Pickering Township;
AND WHEREAS the residents of the urban section of the Township
based on the facts available to them at the time voted overwhelm"
ingly in December 1969 to become a part of Metropolitan Toronto,
on the assumption that the TownShip would exist as a separate
Borough or other separate political entity within the Metro
federation;
- 2 - 11/70
AND WHEREAS the Province of Ontario as at December 1969 had never
formally cemmitted itself to a Provincially regulated Toronto
Centered R.~ion land use plan, or to providing financial assistance
on an on-going basis to an Oshawa centered region;
AND WHEREAS on May 5th the Province announced its concept of a
Design for Development, The Toronto Centered Region which
committed the Province to recognition of the fact that Pickering
Township and indeed the entire proposed Oshawa Centered Region
was Metro Toronto oriented and in addition committed the Province
to financially support an Oshawa centered region as well as
stimulate residential and industrial growth therein;
AND WHEREAS both the Toronto Centered Region concept as well as
the results to date of the O.A.P.A.D.S. Study clearly indicate
the intent to impose on Pickering Township internal political
divisions which make it quite clear that the political status
of any section of the Township which might go to Metro will not
be with Borough status but will be no more than an extension of
a present Metro Borough;
AND WHEREAS the Provincial statements made relative to the Design
For Development, The Toronto Centered Region, materially influence
the Township of Pickering to the point it is now essential for
the Township Council to re-evaluate its position in Regional
Government;
AND WHEREAS the announcement by the Province concerning the York
Region shows the intent of the Province to begin providing finan-
cial support for newly formed regions;
AND WHEREAS a clear indication of the factors involved in
amalgamation with Metro Toronto should be offered to the residents
of the Township together with a clear indication of similar
factors involved in being a part of an Oshawa Centered Region
when the forthcoming public meetings on Regional Government are
held in the Township;
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1.

That the Township of Pickering invite the key study
principals of O.A.P.A.D.S. as well as senior representa-

of meetings to be held in the Township forthwith for the
purposes of determining the best terms available to the
various sections of the Township under an Oshawa centered
Regional government.
That such discussions exclude the West Rouge section
from an Oshawa Centered Region as both the Council of
the Township of Pickering and the Minister of Municipal
Affairs have publicly announced their feelings that this
section should go to Metro.
That the discussions in (1) above be with the Committee
of the Whole Council at all times.
That the discussions in (1) above result in the Council
of the Township of Pickering formulating a minimum position
for entry of Pickering Township excluding West Rouge into
an Oshawa Centered Region.
5.
That during the public meetings to be held in the Township
on Regional Government both the Metro Toronto alternative
and the Oshawa alternative be objectively relayed to the
ratepayers.
That all Department Heads in the Township be asked to
evaluate the Oshawa alternative as to how it might be
more viable than the Metro Toronto alternative in view of
