This is an occasion to promote public understanding and awareness of the needs of culturally Deaf: oral deat: deafened and hard of hearing Canadians, and to emphasize the importance of protecting our hearing. The aging of our population and the increase in noise pollution have made hearing loss the fastest growing disability in North America; often referred to as the "invisible disability". Nearly 1 in 4 (23 %) of adult Canadians report having some degree of hearing loss. The average age of those experiencing hearing loss is 51-nearly 1 in 4 are under the age of 40, and 7 in 10 are under the age of60. For culturally Deaf, oral deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people, the key to enjoying an independent life is keeping the lines of communication open; staying connected to family and friends. The barriers to communication can be lifted through the use of technology, hiring of sign language interpreting services, closed captioning, assistive devices such as TTY s (teletypewriter phones) and wide spread use of American Sign Language. As in years past, national, provincial and regional organizations will be working to dispel the myths and stereotypes of individuals with hearing loss, and to promote programs and services designed to ensure equal access for all culturally Deaf, oral deaf, deafened and hard of hearing Canadians. The Canadian Hearing Society serving the Durham region since 2000 would like to ask that Mayor Ryan and Council proclaim May 2008 as "Hearing Awareness Month" in the City of Pickering. We ~... appreciate the fact that we are one of many organizations requesting recognition, but do hope you will be able to accommodate this significant month for us. We thank you in advance for your time and consideration of this request, and look forward to your reply. Sincerely, ~ / .1 / / /J /j/ I'~' \.{,./ ,/,// / (</)/7-L(~l ~)/~r~'/0{" 7 Lynda Shepherd .

However, on this occasion, David Pickles, Chair, Pickering Advisory Committee on Race Relations & Equity and committee members would like to commemorate March 21 st by way of proclamation so that our community can continue to be aware of the harmful effects of racism and discrimination and of the leadership of the municipal government to foster equality, respect and diversity. The Pickering Advisory Committee on Race Relations & Equity will also be hosting a Race Relations Forum on March 19, 2008 in Council Chambers in order to commemorate March 21 st. This forum will showcase winning entries of the student writing contest about diversity, race relations and equity - an initiative presented by the Pickering Advisory Committee on Race Relations & Equity in partnership with the Durham District School Board and the Durham Catholic District School Board. The Forum will also include guest speaker Itah Sadu, Canadian Award winning storyteller and best selling children's author.

This year marks the Child Find Ontario's 17th Annual Green Ribbon of Hope™ Campaign during the month of May. Weare seeking the support of you and your council members to assist us in bringing this message to your constituency and supporting our Annual Green Ribbon of Hope Campai~n during the month of May, including National Missing Children's Day on May 25t\ 2007. The concept of the Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign was developed by the students of Holy Cross Secondary School in S1. Catharines and is a result of the abduction and subsequent murder of 15-year-old Kristen French on April 16, 1992. The Green Ribbon is now a symbol of recognition for the many children who go missing every year. The colour green embodies a sign of hope for those children who have gone missing. Child Find Ontario Inc. is a registered non-profit, charitable children's organization whose mandate is to assist searching parents and law enforcement agencies in the search for missing children and teenagers and to educate children and adults about safe guarding their children from the unthinkable. Since 1984, we have been working for the safe return of missing children and educating families and communities about child safety. Child Find Ontario Community Link volunteers continue to reach the children and families in your community and supply them with our educational programs and services, enlightening them with all important safety rules. In honor of all searching parents we would ask that your leadership playa key role in promoting the safe return of all missing children by granting this issue the support of your office and elected colleagues during our Annual Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign. Enclosed are sample proclamations for the Green Ribbon of Hope Campaign and \1J National Missing Children's Day on the 25th of May, for which we encourage you to .iT'- recognize and lend your support.

Report PD 08-08 February 19, 2008 Subject: The Region of Durham Growth Plan Implementation Study Page 2 60 Executive Summary: Consultants have been engaged by the Region of Durham to undertake a Growth Plan Implementation Study. The Study will complete the last phase of the Region's Official Plan Review and meet the requirement that the Regional Official Plan conform to the Province's Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The purpose of the Growth Plan Implementation Study is to identify a long range development scenario and growth management policies, consistent with the Growth Plan's intensification policies. Based on the population and employment forecasts for the Region, the Study will assess the need to designate additional urban area, identify the appropriate location for any required new urban land, and allocate population and employment growth to the area municipalities. Regional Planning Committee released the Draft Phase 1 & 2 report on January 8, 2008, with a request for comments from area municipalities by February 11, 2008. In light of this deadline, this Report has been prepared for direct consideration by City Council. Staff finds the scope of the Growth Plan Implementation Study to be too narrow as it does not include an analysis of the financial implications for the Region, local municipalities and other providers of infrastructure and other services and facilities. An expansion of the scope of the Study to include a financial analysis is necessary to properly evaluate the different growth scenarios. Staff also find the short notice for consultation and lack of background data and analysis render the City unable to provide timely and thorough analysis on the findings and impact of Phase 1 & 2 of the Study. With respect to the Draft Phase 1 & 2 report, two areas require revIsions. The assumptions used for the intensification analysis need to be refined to reflect Regional differences in market forces and growth opportunities in the "base case" model, so that future scenarios for growth are starting from the most appropriate assumptions. Lastly, the boundary for Pickering's Urban Growth Centre shown in Figure 36 should reflect the most recent draft boundary established by MPIR and City staff. Financial Implications: None Sustainability Implications: This Study will recommend policies for the Region of Durham to implement the Province's Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, one of the Province's recent signature policies to curb urban sprawl in the GGH and adopt sustainable development practices for future growth. Report PD 08-08 February 19, 2008 Subject: The Region of Durham Growth Plan , " 6 lmplementation Study Page 3 1.0 Background: 1.1 The Provincial Growth Plan requires Durham Region to undertake an implementation Study. In April 2005, the Regional Planning Department identified population and employment forecasts, new urban land needs and growth management policies as part of the Durham Region Official Plan Review. In June 2005, of the Province released the Final Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The Region removed growth management and related population, employment and urban land needs policies from its recommended Official Plan Review Amendment as the Amendment was in conflict with the Provincial Plan. Subsequently, the Region engaged Urban Strategies Inc. with Watson & Associates, Economists and TSH consulting engineers to address these issues in a manner that will conform with the Provincial Growth Plan. 1.2 Durham's Growth Plan Implementation Study is tailored to meet Durham's needs while also fulfilling the requirements of the Provincial Growth Plan. The Growth Plan Implementation Study has two major purposes: · to prepare policies for an acceptable growth scenario for Durham Region and its constituent local municipalities; and · to bring the Regional Official Plan into conformity with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan) as required under the Places to Grow Act; The growth scenario for Durham Region would include allocation of population and employment growth to the local municipalities in a manner that would implement Growth Plan policies on intensification in Urban Growth Centres, Intensification Corridors, Major Transit Station Areas and other built-up areas, and achievement of new higher minimum density requirements for development in Greenfield Areas (unbuilt urban lands). It would also set out whether the amount of designated urban lands could accommodate the 2031 population and employment forecasts in the Growth Plan, and if not, the Study would identify how much and where the new urban lands should be designated. The Region's Study has five phases of activity. The phases are outlined in more detail on Attachment #1 to this Report, and the main headings are listed below: 1) Understanding Issues and Priorities; 2) Growth Assessment and Scenario Development; 3) Testing of the Growth Assessment and Scenario Building; 4) Growth Assessment and Growth Scenarios Report; 5) Preferred Growth Management Options and Policy Recommendations. Report PD 08-08 February 19, 2008 Subject: The Region of Durham Growth Plan Implementation Study Page 4 (IJ .II. The full Study process, events and milestones are detailed on Attachment #2 to this Report. The timelines are very tight. 2.0 Overview of Report Findings and Consultation 2. 1 Among other matters, the Consultant's Draft Phase 1 & 2 Report provides a 'base case' for growth in the Region, to test how close the Region would be to achieving the Growth Plan's targets generally following current trends. The Consultants have now completed the initial work for Phase 1 (Understanding Issues and Priorities) and Phase 2 (Growth Assessment and Scenario Development) of the project. The result of this work is presented in the draft report entitled, "Growing Durham, Growth Plan Implementation Study, Draft - Phase 1 & 2: Summary of Understanding and Initial Analysis". A copy of the Draft Report can be viewed at the Planning & Development Department. Initial findings and observations from the Draft Report are that given current market trends and forecasts, each of the policy targets in the Growth Plan will be a challenge to achieve. The Draft Report finds that Durham Region can achieve approximately 33% intensification within the defined "built-boundary", whereas the Growth Plan requires 40% intensification. Further the Draft Report shows that in Greenfield Areas, Durham Region can come very close to achieving the minimum 50 jobs and population per hectare (the analysis showed 48 jobs and persons per hectare). With respect to urban land supply for employment lands, the analysis shows a small deficit of employment lands to the year 2029 of about 50 gross hectares. With respect to residential land supply to the year 2029, the analysis suggests a deficit of about 2100 hectares, primarily for low density housing. To arrive at these "base case" findings, the Consultants had held meetings with area municipal staff, visited the area municipalities, and undertook a series of investigations and created a computer model to assess growth opportunities and constraints. The Draft Report: . Outlines key area municipal initiatives, opportunities and challenges; · Identifies Regional growth drivers, opportunities and challenges (economic, infrastructure, market); · Presents the methodologies and assumptions used in the various streams of analysis, including: population, residential and employment forecasts; intensification analysis; employment analysis; and greenfield analysis; Report PO 08-08 February 19, 2008 Subject: 6 ~~ The Region of Durham Growth Plan Implementation Study Page 5 · Presents the findings of the above analyses taking into consideration supply, demand and capacity at the Regional level (the forecasts etc. will be disaggregated to the area municipal level in the next phase of the Study); · Presents the preliminary results of the urban land needs assessment at the Regional level. This will be tested and, if necessary, revised in future phases as part of the detailed analysis of land needs at the area municipal level; and · Provides a discussion on the principles and assumptions, parameters and evaluation criteria for growth scenario development to be completed in the next phase of the project. 2.2 A short consultation period is being held on the Draft Report, with a deadline for comments of February 11, 2008. At its meeting on January 8, 2008, the Region of Durham Planning Committee released the consultant's draft report and initiated the consultation process for this phase. The consultation involved: . a meeting with area municipal staff on January 25, 2008; · holding an information session at the Regional Headquarters in the evening on January 29, 2008, open to the general public, agencies and/or any other interested parties; · placing notifications in newspapers throughout the Region; · launching an interactive page on the Regional website to brand the Growth Plan implementation initiative with the slogan "GROWING DURHAM - Our Future, Our Community"; · sending written notification to all stakeholders on the ROP Review consultation list, plus any additional persons who had requested to be engaged in the Growth Plan implementation initiative; and · meeting with staff of Provincial Ministries during the period between January 14 and 25, 2008. 2.3 The input from the consultation is to be incorporated into the Final Phase 1 & 2 report and will inform the next phase of the project. City staff has recently met with the consultants on January 25, 2008, to receive a briefing on the Draft Phase 1 & 2 Report, raise questions and provide initial comments. A second meeting was held on February 5, 2008 to share ideas on development scenarios to be considered by the consultants in Phase 3 of the Study. Report PO 08-08 February 19, 2008 Subject: The Region of Durham Growth Plan Implementation Study Page 6 6 ,4 3.0 Staff Comments on the Draft Phase 1 & 2 Report: 3.1 Expand the Scope of the Study to evaluate the financial implications of Growth Scenarios: Despite the initial recommendations of Regional staff, the terms of reference adopted by Regional Council for the Growth Plan Implementation Study do not include financial impact analysis of the Growth Scenarios. Without this financial information, it is not possible for the Region of Durham, with its range of service providers, local municipalities and partner agencies such as school boards, to evaluate the financial implications related to the provision of infrastructure, facilities and services for the different Growth Scenarios. It is necessary to have this information before local municipalities can judge whether the growth that will be proposed and incorporated in the Region of Durham Official Plan, and subsequently reflected in mandated amendments to local official plans can be accommodated in an affordable manner. In addition, financial impact on other community services such as hospitals cannot be determined. Accordingly, it is recommended that Council request the Region of Durham to expand the scope of the Growth Plan Implementation Study to include an analysis of the financial implications related to the provision of infrastructure and services necessary to support the growth scenarios. 3.2 Municipal staff should be engaged at an earlier stage of each Phase, and on an on-going basis throughout the Study. In the Durham Region Official Plan Review process, preliminary data and analysis was shared with local municipal staff at each stage of its development. This permitted local staff to provide the more detailed knowledge of local conditions and fostered a consensus about the best analytic techniques to arrive at the best possible modelling of population, employment and land needs in the Region. It also allowed local staff to ensure that technical considerations would not undermine local strategies for future growth. However, this type of collaborative process has not been followed for the Growth Plan Implementation Study, possibly due to the tight time frames for product delivery in the study Terms of Reference. Report PO 08-08 February 19, 2008 . ., Subject: hE " ,J The Region of Durham Growth Plan Implementation Study Page 7 In order to achieve the benefits of a collaborative planning exercise, it is recommended that the study consultants be requested to provide earlier release of report drafts for the future phases of the Study and of the data and analysis upon which the Study results are founded. It is also requested that the raw data and data analysis for Phases 1 & 2 of the Study be provided and that the next phase of the Study not proceed until comments and 'ground-truthing' of the data can be provided to the satisfaction of Regional and local planning staffs. 3.3 Pickering's Urban Growth Centre Boundary (Figure 36 in the Draft Report) should be revised to reflect the draft boundary established between Ministry of Infrastructure Renewal (MPIR) staff and City staff. Urban Growth Centres are an integral part of the intensification strategies in the Provincial Growth Plan. Pickering's Urban Growth Centre is one of 25 identified in the Growth Plan across the Greater Golden Horseshoe. In Durham Region, the only other Urban Growth Centre is Oshawa. MPIR staff have been consulting with City staff on the proposed boundary for Pickering's Urban Growth Centre. The Draft Phase 1 & 2 Report shows the "Draft Proposed" boundary released by MPIR staff to Pickering staff in the summer of 2007 for comment. City staff proposed a number of minor changes to ensure that some valley lands, highway and roadway lands would be removed, thereby reducing pressures to achieve the challenging 200 person and jobs minimum density for Urban Growth Centre development on these undevelopable lands (see Attachment #3 - Draft Proposed Scope and Scale for the Downtown Pickering Urban Growth Centre). City staff has since received verbal confirmation that MPIR has accepted the draft boundaries recommended by City staff. Therefore, it is requested that the Phase 1 & 2 Report be revised to reflect the draft boundary established between MPIR and City staff. 3.4 The methodology and assumptions for the analysis of available land suitable for intensification should be refined to reflect different market forces and opportunities for growth in different parts of the Region. In evaluating how much intensification can be accommodated within the Region's Built-up Areas, a model was created and a series of assumptions were made. Staff is concerned that the base case model is too simplistic and does not reflect the complexity of this large region. As this model and its assumptions are going to be used to create and test alternate growth scenarios, it is critical that the model be refined to reflect the varying market forces and growth opportunities between the different urban areas. Report PO 08-08 February 19, 2008 Subject: The Region of Durham Growth Plan Implementation Study Page 8 ~ /' o tJ The methodology and assumptions for the analysis of available land suitable for intensification are discussed in Section 5.2.3, Item 3 of the draft report. (The written text for this item is confusing, and the following comments are based on the verbal clarifications from the consultants.) In Step 4, it was assumed that only 25% of "vacant", "under-construction" and "under-developed" lands in Regional Corridors would see intensified development by 2031. It was also assumed that only 50% of "vacant", "under-construction" and "under-developed" lands in Centres and Potential Activity areas would be intensified by 2031. City staff has two concerns with this. Firstly, any property just under construction now should be eliminated from redevelopment in the next twenty years. Secondly, in the Pickering/Ajax/Whitby area, staff considers the assumptions on the amount of land that may redevelop by 2031 too low; because of: 1) the market forces and opportunities created by the identification of Pickering's Downtown as an Urban Growth Centre; 2) the greater proximity within Durham Region of Pickering/Ajax/Whitby to the large concentrations of employment activities in Toronto and York Region; 3) the completion of the planning for Seaton, and; 4) the anticipated construction timing of key Regional (piped and road) and Provincial (highway) infrastructure. Finally, staff suggests that the assumptions should also be adjusted to reflect the different potentials in Oshawa/Courtice as well as in Clarington. In Step 5 of the intensification analysis, the Consultants assumed that, of the vacant, under-construction and under-developed land that will redevelop by 2031, only 20% of the lands would be developed for non-residential uses in the corridors and centres. Staff consider this percentage to be too low in Pickering due to both the City's designation as an Urban Growth Centre where jobs are as important as residential, as well as the on-going demand for retail and personal service uses to serve the significant increases in population to 2031. Accordingly, it is recommended that the Region request the consultant to re-examine the model used in the base case analysis, to reflect a more refined range of development assumptions across the Region. It is critical that the model be refined prior to completing Phase 2, so that alterative growth scenarios are developed on a more accurate basis. This approach should also lead to a more meaningful evaluation of the growth scenarios.

Phase 2: Growth Assessment and Scenario Development Phase 2 includes: preliminary analysis of employment need/land supply, intensification and greenfield development; and development of growth scenario principles, assumptions, parameters and evaluation criteria. A key component of this phase includes the development of visualization tools to assess the intensification targets and development implications of growth scenarios for presentation to the area municipal partners, agencies and the public. The results of Phases 1 and 2 were presented to Regional Planning Committee on January 8, 2008, followed by consultation with the area municipal partners, agencies and the public. Phase 3: Testing of the Growth Assessment and Scenario Building Phase 3 includes: an examination of the growth analysis; the building of alternative scenarios to explore the most appropriate future growth path for the Region; and a more comprehensive assessment of urban land needs. The results of Phase 3 will be presented to Regional Planning Committee on March 11, 2008, followed by consultation with the area municipal partners, agencies and the public. Phase 4: Growth Assessment and Growth Scenarios Report Phase 4 includes: the finalization of the growth assessment; preparation of draft recommendations; and the development of a draft preferred growth scenario for the Region, to be presented to Regional Planning Committee on June 3, 2008, followed by consultation with the area municipal partners, agencies and the pubic. Phase 5: Preferred Growth Management Option and Policy Recommendations Phase 5 includes the development of a preferred growth management option and policy recommendations for the Regional Official Plan to implement the preferred option, which will be presented to Regional Planning Committee on September 23, 2008.

The Development Process was broken down into three major steps; Policy Planning, Development and Engineering Review, and Construction. The Seaton Neighbourhood Planning Program lies within the first stage, policy planning. The Terms of Reference are organized in 6 parts, consisting of: Background Study Detailed Description of Work Consultation - Community & First Nations Engagement Programs Deliverables Study Management The Study Management composition will be as follows: City Council, CAO, The Seaton Steering Committee will report through the CAO, to Council, assistance from the Consulting Team and the Technical Team. The Seaton Steering Committee will liaise with the Seaton Advisory Committee of Council. The suggested composition of the Study Steering Committee is: City Staff (4 Directors) Province - MMAH (1) Region (1) Developers (1) Page 3 CORP0228-2/02 Item / Ref# Details & Discussion & Conclusion (summary of discussion) TRCA (1) Their role will be to provide strategic advice and direction to consulting team and to liaise with the Seaton Advisory Committee.

The composition may vary based on meeting issues under discussion. Their role is to provide technical input and review to Steering Committee and Consulting team. Next steps include finalizing the draft Terms of Reference, sending them out for comments, updating them and forwarding them to the next available Planning Committee. Lloyd Cherniak questioned why the City would also be looking at major community facility locations/uses. He stated that the focus should be on finishing the MESP since it will identify the major community facility locations/uses. These can be reviewed before the final approval. This would ensure that there is no duplication of work with the City's neighbourhood planning program.
