I hope you have had an opportunity to review it. Briefly, the proposal calls for the federal and provincial governments to fund the Greater Toronto Atmospheric Fund, or GTAF, to help deal with issues of climate change, air quality and rising energy costs in the Toronto region. The GTAF would be modeled on the highly successful Toronto Atmospheric Fund, which has been helping the City of Toronto reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases and smog precursors, as well as its fuel bills, since 1991. Members of our project team presented the GTAF proposal to the board of the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority earlier this month. The TRCA board adopted a resolution in support of the proposal (attached), which has been circulated to your City Clerk. I would appreciate it if you would consider placing a similar resolution of support before your Council in the near future. Someone from our project team would be happy to speak to you further about the GTAF proposal if you have any questions. I thank you in advance for your consideration.

October, 2005 To the Mayor and Council RE: Canada Post closing post offices and plants I understand that maintaining and improving infrastructure which promotes community economic development is a central concern of municipal governments. I am writing to let you know that a key element of your infrastructure is once again at risk - the public post office. As you may recall, the federal government and post office management tried to close down thousands of public post offices in the late 80s and early 90s. They were stopped in their tracks by public outrage and an election defeat in 1993, but only after about 1,500 rural and 100 urban offices had closed. In 1994, the newly elected Liberal govenunent announced a moratorium on post office closures in rural and small towns. Municipal councils in all parts of the country played an important role in giving voice to the broad public opposition that produced this moratorium. It appears that municipal councils will have to once again take action. Canada Post is once more closing post offices and other facilities. Canada Post is reviewing its national network and has announced plans to close a mail processing plant in Quebec City as the very first step in its review. This plant closure will undermine service and the local economy by destroying 302 jobs in Quebec City. We are concerned that the corporation may close other parts of its network in the course of its review. The corporation has already permanently or te~nporarily closed almost 50 rural post offices since 2001, in spite of a moratorium on closures in rural and small towns. To deal with the public outcry over these closures, John McCallum, the minister responsible for Canada Post, recently made a statement claiming that the federal government's commitment to the moratorium on rural post office closures "remains unwavering." However, in the very same statement, Minister McCallum admits that some closures may be unavoidable. He says that Canada Post will contact his office about any closure and that his staff will then inform the member of Parliament in the area. There is a vague assurance that Canada --t.c, Cc:un°t .~CUF~ SCFT~ ~ 02 . Post will work with "local officials" to see if a post office can be reopened. Not the public. Not municipalities. Not postal unions. Not major stakeholders. Just local officials. This is a far cry from the government's original commitment. When the Liberal govermnent announced the moratorium, it said "As long as this Government is in power, no rural or small town post office will close." (Source: Minister Responsible for Canada Post Corporation, February 18, 1994) It promised not to make any changes to this policy without first undergoing "a full and comprehensive consultation with Postal Service Customer Councils." The government said, "The people will decide." As you may know, Postal Services Customer Councils no longer exist. There is no clear process for "full and comprehensive consultation." Neither the people nor the municipalities are deciding on what happens to their post offices. Our pUblic post office needs a uniform and democratic process for making changes to its network of offices, outlets and plants. The public and postal workers need to be part of this process in both rural and urban areas. If you agree, please consider passing the attached resolution. Your support for this resolution will help your community keep public postal service and jobs, protect the local economy and affirm that democracy is alive and well at the municipal level. Yours truly, Deborah Bourque President Canadian Union of Postal Workers Encl. C.C.; National Executive Board Regional Education and Organization Officers National Union Representatives Specialists DB/bk cope 225 023 POST OFFICE AND PLANT CLOSURES WHEREAS Canada Post is reviewing its entire postal network and has announced plans to close a mail sorting plant in Quebec City as the very first step in its review. WHEREAS the government appears to support Canada Post's plan to close the plant in Quebec City, beginning in December 2005, which would eliminate 302 jobs. WHEREAS the government is allowing Canada Post to close rural post offices in spite of a moratorium on post office closures in rural and small towns. WHEREAS our public postal network connects communities throughout this vast land, helping us to overcome differences and distances. WHEREAS our public postal network plays a key role in our social and economic life by providing jobs and the infrastructure that healthy communities need to thrive and businesses need to grow. BE IT RESOLVED THAT (NAME OF MUNICIPALITY) write to John McCallum, the Minister Responsible tbr Canada Post and request that the federal government instruct Canada Post: 1. to stop the closure of the mail sorting plant in Quebec City and proposed closures in other locations. 2. to consult with the public, postal unions and other major stakeholders to develop a uniform and democratic process for making changes to the Canada Post's network. 3. to maintain, expand and improve our public postal network.

REPORT: Attachment No. 1: Works Committee Correspondence WC- 35-2005, dated June 21, 2005 from Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to Mr. John Presta requesting the relocation of servicing on No. 509 Parks Crescent and No. 520 Marksbury Drive in the City of Pickering Report No.: 2005-W-111 Paqe No.: 2 027 Attachment No. 2: Conceptual Servicing Plan for relocated watermain and sanitary sewer 1. BACKGROUND The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) purchased the properties known as No. 509 Park Crescent and No. 520 Marksbury Drive, in the City of Pickering, for future construction of the Waterfront Trail. This purchase was partially funded by the City of Pickering. The remaining costs of the purchase are to be offset through the sale of a building lot, which is to be severed off the portion of the properties not required for the Waterfront Trail. At present, the Region of Durham has a 150 mm diameter watermain and a 250 mm diameter sanitary sewer located on a portion of the properties proposed for disposal by TRCA. These services are not located on easement. In order for the Region to maintain or replace the existing watermain and sanitary sewer, permission to enter and a new easement will be required. The TRCA have approached Regional staff requesting that the existing watermain and sanitary sewer be relocated. Easements will be provided at the new location of the services. This will enable the TRCA to sever the property free of encumbrances so that it may be sold as a building lot to help recover the cost of purchasing the properties. It is recommended that the Region replace this infrastructure, that is over forty (40) years old, in order to avoid future problems with residents. FINANCING The total project costs in order to relocate the existing services is estimated to be $90,000. Financing for the construction of the new 150 mm diameter watermain (approximately $50,000) is available in the approved 2005 Water Supply Capital Budget for, Item 86 - Allowance for Unknown Requirements. Financing for the construction of the new 250 mm diameter sanitary sewer (approximately $20,000) is available in the approved 2005 Sanitary Sewer Capital Budget for Item 66 - Allowance for Unknown Requirements. The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority will contribute $20,000 towards the relocation of services and complete the transfer of easements at their cost as part of the land severance. Report No.: 2005-W- 111 Paqe No.: 3 3. CONCLUSION It is recommended that the Region of Durham relocate the existing watermain and sanitary sewer located on easement across the properties known as No. 509 Park Crescent and No. 520 Marksbury Drive, in the City of Pickering. This report has been reviewed by the Finance Department and the Commissioner of Finance concurs with the financial recommendation. Clifford ¢..,~rtis, P.

(Grant Morris) Agreements Respecting Conveyance and Construction / Payment of Goldenridge Road File: V0501/RE0518 Recommendation: That the City accept the conveyance of those parts of Lots 48, 49, 50, 51 and 118, RCP 1051, Pickering, designated as Parts 16 to 22, Plan 40R-23842 for future road purposes (Goldenridge Road extension); That Council authorize the Mayor, City Clerk, Director, Planning & Development and City Solicitor to obtain, prepare and execute all documentation necessary to effect the acquisition of these lands; That Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute agreements, in a form satisfactory to the Director, Planning & Development and the City Solicitor between the City, Grant Morris, Linnane and Jain respecting the conveyance, construction, payment and cost sharing for the future extension of Goldenridge Road; and That Council approve the expenditure of up to $28,000.00 to cover the cost to install municipal services and construct Goldenridge Road across the frontage of Lot 118, subject to the owner (Jain) entering into an agreement with the City for the repayment of the entire amount, plus 6% interest per annum, upon the earlier of: (a) three years from the date of the Agreement between the City and Jain, or (b) the City issuing its clearance to Land Division Committee in support of the severance of Lot 118, RCP 1051, Pickering. Report PD 45-05 Subject: Proposed Extension of Goldenridge Road Date: November 14, 2005 Page 2 Executive Summary: As proposed in the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines, Goldenridge Road is an internal development read that will eventually connect Fairport Road and Dunbarton Road. Currently, the northerly portion of Goldenridge Road runs through Marshall Homes Plan of Subdivision 40M-2155 and the southerly portion, which was completed by the City in 2004, extends approximately 50 metres north of Dunbarton Road, leaving the middle 120 metres (approx.)to be constructed. It is in the interest of the City to have Goldenridge Road extended south to join with Rushton Road. This extension will provide a looped road network which will provide safer traffic flow and improved pedestrian / service access. Without the connection, Rushton Road and Goldenridge Road will remain as dead-end streets and the infill initiative in this area will be thwarted. Grant Morris, being one of the landowners of the lots lying between the northerly and southerly constructed portions of Goldenridge Road, has initiated contact with, and received concurrence from, other adjacent landowners to convey a portion of their lands to the City for the purpose of constructing an additional section of Goldenridge Road, thereby creating frontage for future development. Concurrence has also been received from the owners of Lots 48, 49, 50 and 51, to pay their pro-rated share towards the cost of the construction of this extension of Goldenridge Road. However, the owners of Lot 118 (Jain) are unable to pay their pro-rated share at this time. In order for this road to be constructed at this time in conjunction with the development of Plan SP-2004-04, it is being requested that the City cover the pre-rated share of the road construction costs attributable to Jain, subject to a repayment arrangement. The City would require that all affected landowners enter into appropriate agreements with the City to deal with the conveyance and cost-sharing matters of this portion of road, and Grant Morris has agreed to enter into the appropriate Development Agreement for the construction of the road. This report is being expedited directly to Council as it is only economically feasible for this work to be completed in conjunction with the servicing and road construction of the Louisville Homes site which is presently underway. The extension of Goldenridge Road as proposed in this report will serve to facilitate appropriate and anticipated infill development and will provide an improved looped road network through connection with Rushton Road. The proposed development and recoverable City expenditure are recommended for approval. 04? Report PD 45-05 Subject: Proposed Extension of Goldenridge Road Date: November14,2005 Page 3 Financial Implications: All of the owners lying adjacent to the proposed extension of Goldenridge Road (the benefiting owners) have, or will, (except for Jain) pay their pro-rated share to the City for the installation of services and the construction of this extension of Goldenridge Road. The City's expenditure to cover the construction costs fronting Lot 118 (Jain) in the amount of $28,000.00 will be charged to Capital Account 3264.2613.6181 which was included in the 2005 budget for unanticipated construction projects related to development. To secure the City's financial position, an agreement between the City and Jain for reimbursement of these funds within a three-year time period, at a rate of 6% per annum, will be registered on title. Background: As proposed in the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines, Goldenridge Road is an internal development road that will eventually connect Fairport Road and Dunbarton Road. Currently, the northerly portion of Goldenridge Road runs through Marshall Homes Plan of Subdivision 40M-2155 and the southerly portion, which was completed by the City in 2004, extends approximately 50 metres north of Dunbarton Road, leaving the middle 120 metres (approx.)to be constructed. The City has recently acquired parts of Lots 52 and 53 through Land Division Applications 202/03 (Ravey) and 50/05 (Jones) for read purposes, with both parties paying their pro-rated share of the installation of underground services and construction of Goldenridge Road through those applications. Grant Morris, Linnane, Jones, Jain, Laine and Gleed are all landowners of lots lying between the remaining northerly and southerly constructed portions of Goldenridge Road. Each of these landowners require the construction of this extension and the installation of services in order to facilitate proper road frontage to the severed portions of their lots. Grant Morris initiated contact with, and received concurrence from Linnane (Lot 51) to enter into an agreement with the City for the conveyance of the lands required to extend Goldenridge Road across their lot and to pay their pro-rated share (as benefiting owners) for the construction costs. Laine and Gleed being the landowners of Lots 46 and 47, are not prepared to convey land or contribute to the City at this time. Report PD 45-05 Subject: Proposed Extension of Goldenridge Road Date: November 14, 2005 Page 4 04: The landowners of Lot 118 (Jain) have also agreed to enter into an agreement respecting the conveyance of a portion of their lands to the City for road purposes, but are unable to pay their portion of the pro-rated share to construct the road and install underground services at this time. Jain has requested that Council consider an expenditure of $28,000.00 to cover the pro-rated share of road construction costs in front of their property, on the condition that they enter into an agreement with the City for the reimbursement of these funds within a three-year time period, at a rate of 6% interest per annum, or through a future land severance. These funds would be expended from Capital Account 3264.2613.6181. The City would also require the conveyance of a reserve fronting the Jain property. The agreement would be registered on title to the Jain property thereby binding any future owner to the obligations of the agreement, should the property be sold prior to repayment. Grant Morris has agreed to enter into the appropriate Development Agreement with the City to: (a) convey a portion of his lands to extend Goldenridge Road across his lots; (b) pay his pro-rated share (as a benefiting owner) for the construction and installation of services costs; (c) construct the extension of Goldenridge Road from the south limit of Lot 48 to connect with the existing portion of Goldenridge Road running through Plan 40M-2155; and (d) provide for the appropriate insurance and documentation that will be required by that Development Agreement. All of the contributing owners, along with Louisville Homes Ltd. have, or will, pay their pro-rated share to the City for the installation of services and the construction of this extension of Goldenridge Road. These funds will be held by the City and released to Grant Morris as per the conditions set out in the Development Agreement during the construction of this extension of Goldenridge Road. The acquisition of the above-mentioned lands and construction of this extension of Goldenridge Road will also connect Rushton Road (presently being constructed pursuant to Plan of Subdivision SP-2004-04 - Louisville Homes) thereby providing two access points from Fairport Road. It is in the interest of the City to have Goldenridge Road extended south to join with Rushton Road. This extension will provide a looped road network which will provide safer traffic flow and improved pedestrian / service access. Without the connection, Rushton Road and Goldenridge Road will remain as dead-end streets and the infill initiative in this area will be thwarted. 04 Report PD 45-05 Subject: Proposed Extension of Goldenridge Road Date: November 14, 2005 Page 5 Accordingly, it is being recommended: That the City accept the conveyance of those parts of Lots 48, 49, 50, 51 and 118, RCP 1051, Pickering, designated as Parts 16 to 22, Plan 40R-23842 for future road purposes (Goldenridge Road extension); That Council authorize the Mayor, City Clerk, Director, Planning & Development and City Solicitor to obtain, prepare and execute all documentation necessary to effect the acquisition of these lands; That Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute agreements, in a form satisfactory to the Director, Planning & Development and the City Solicitor between the City, Grant Morris, Linnane and Jain respecting the conveyance, construction, payment and cost sharing for the future extension of Goldenridge Road; and That Council approve the expenditure of up to $28,000.00 to cover the cost to install municipal services and construct Goldenridge Road across the frontage of Lot 1 t8, subject to the owner (Jain) entering into an agreement with the City for the repayment of the entire amount, plus 6% interest per annum, upon the earlier of: (a) three years from the date of the agreement between the City and Jain, or (b) the City issuing its clearance to Land Division Committee in support of the severance of Lot 118, RCP 1051, Pickering.

Quinn Chief Administrative Officer Subject: Transport Canada - Federal Airport Lands Due Diligence Review of Airport Master Plan - File: D-7600-003 Recommendation: That Report CAO 13-05 concerning the Federal Government's due diligence review of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority's Master Plan for the Federal Lands in Pickering be received. That the Federal Government be advised that Pickering Council supports the completion of a due diligence review of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority's (GTAA's) Master Plan for the Federal Lands in Pickering, by the Federal Minister of Transport. That the Federal Minister of Transport be requested to ensure that the due diligence review provides ample opportunity for Pickering Council and interested members of the community to participate in the process. That the Federal Minister of Transport be requested to ensure the due diligence review includes (but is not necessarily limited to) the following broad considerations: (i) A comprehensive airport supply and demand analysis of airport traffic growth, and a review of airport governance in southern Ontario. (ii) A comprehensive business case analysis of a potential airport in Pickering. (iii) A peer review of the GTAA's Airport Master Plan and supporting documentation. That a copy of this Report and resolutions be forwarded to the Federal Minister of Transport, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, the Region of Durham, Members of Parliament for Ajax-Pickering and Pickering-Scarborough East, and Member of Provincial Parliament for Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge. Report to Council CAO 13-05 Subject: Transport Canada - Due Diligence Review Date: November 2, 2005 Page 2 Executive Summary: This Report provides a position on the federal government's "due diligence" review of the work undertaken by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) with respect to a possible regional-reliever airport on the Federal Airport lands in Pickering. The Report recommends that Council request the Federal Minister of Transport to incorporate into the due diligence review the following: a comprehensive airport supply and demand analysis of airports in southern Ontario, a business case analysis of a Pickering airport, and a peer review of the GTAA's Airport Master Plan. As well the Report recommends the Federal Minister of Transport ensure that Pickering Council and interested members of the community be given ample opportunity to participate in the due diligence review. Financial Implications: None Background: In November 2004, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) released a Pickering Airport Draft Plan setting out the concept for a regional-reliever airport that could be developed on the Federal Lands in Pickering over the next 20 years. The Draft Plan was the culmination of more than a dozen studies, and was intended as background and input to a federal environmental assessment process that the GTAA had anticipated commencing in 2005. In December 2004, Pickering Council passed Resolution #172/04 directing staff to report back to Council no later than February 7, 2005, with appropriate terms of reference, a procedure and a proposed budget for a peer review of the Pickering Airport Draft Plan and updated FAA. The Resolution also directed that a request be made to the Federal Transport Minister and the CEO of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority for sufficient funding to enable the City to acquire qualified consultants to undertake the peer review. In furtherance of this Resolution, Report CAO 04-05 was prepared and considered by Council on February 7, 2005. Council received the Report and directed staff to pursue peer review funding with the Federal Government. On February 17, 2005, the Federal Transport Minister wrote to the City advising that his department is unable to be of assistance at this time (with respect to peer review funding) because the department is currently completing its own review of the GTAA's report, and that should his department determine that further review or additional studies are required, "appropriate action will be taken." Report to Council CAO 13-05 Subject: Transport Canada - Due Diligence Review Date: November 2, 2005 Page 3 In April 2005, the Chair of the GTAA responded to the City's request for peer review funding, noting that the City and GTAA staff have been discussing this matter and reviewing the opportunities to support the City's participation within the framework of an environmental assessment. On September 9, 2005, the Federal Transport Minister issued a news release confirming that Transport Canada would be conducting a comprehensive due diligence review of all related airport planning studies and that once completed, the department will be in a position to recommend next steps, including whether or not to proceed to a federal environmental assessment for a future possible airport. At the October 3, 2005, Council Meeting, Councillor Pickles referred to the due diligence review and asked if a report would be forthcoming on this matter. Mayor Ryan requested Members of Council to provide their comments to staff so that they could be considered along with any pertinent comments received from the public, by staff in preparing a Report to Council. Staff have subsequently contacted Transport Canada to advise them of the City's interest in providing input on the nature and scope of the due diligence review. Transport Canada noted that the matter is currently under consideration, and that more details should be available shortly. Accordingly, in light of Council's long-standing interest in the Federal Lands in Pickering, and given Council's previous request for assistance to undertake a peer review of the GTAA's work, the Federal Minister of Transport should be requested to ensure the due diligence review includes (but is not necessarily limited to) the following broad considerations: 1. A comprehensive airport supply and demand analysis of airport traffic growth in southern Ontario including the potential opportunity and role of all existing southern Ontario airports in accommodating projected airport traffic growth, and a review of airport governance in southern Ontario. A comprehensive business case analysis of a potential airport in Pickering should a Pickering airport be justified and confirmed by the airport supply and demand analysis. 3. A peer review of the GTAA's Airport Master Plan and supporting documentation. In addition, the Federal Minister of Transport should be requested to ensure the due diligence process is designed to provide ample opportunity for Pickering Council and interested members of the community to participate in the process and comment on the due diligence report before a decision is made with respect to the undertaking of a federal environmental assessment. 05n Report to Council CAe 13-05 Subject: Transport Canada - Due Diligence Review Date: November 2, 2005 Page 4 Prepared By: Approved / Endorsed By: Thomas E. ~ely_rr~k ~ T, lfl"o~rrias J.

According to the National Alliance of Youth Sports, almost three-quarters drop out by the time they reach age 13 because "it's not fun anymore". Too much focus on winning and overzealous coaches are among the top reasons that kids quit. WHEREAS Sports Illustrated for Kids magazine reported that almost three-quarters of 3,000 readers polled had seen out-of-control adults at their games, ranging from parents or coaches yelling at each other, at kids and officials, to violence. WHEREAS data collected shows that of the three participant groups - players, coaches and spectators - players are the least often cited as the source of poor conduct. WHEREAS 92% of Canadians believe community-level sport can contribute to developing positive values in youth BUT fewer than one in five Canadians believe sport is living up to its potential. WHEREAS True Sport is a national movement committed to the belief that sport makes a powerful and positive contribution to the development of people and communities. True sport gives expression to the growing desire of Canadians to enjoy a sport experience driven by values. The kind of sport that makes us better; one that promotes 055 fairness, excellence, inclusion and fun; and one that contributes immeasurably to the social fabric of our society. WHEREAS True Sport has a goal of 2010 True Sport Communities by the year 2010, the year of the Vancouver Olympics. WHEREAS The City of Pickering is committed to promoting behaviours that set an example, behaviours such as: · Playing fair · Treating team-mates and competitors with respect · Abiding by the rules of the game · Playing drug-free · Penalizing inappropriate behaviour The hope is that these practices will be employed and enforced by all True Sport athletes, teams, leagues, associations and communities. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Pickering be recognized as a True Sport community.
