Status Update
File: IG 2120
Recommendation:
1. That Council receive for information, Report to Council MO 03-02 providing a
status update on the GTAA's Pickering Advisory Committee
Executive Summary: The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) eady in 2002
established a "Pickering Advisory Committee" to provide advice on issues related to the
GTAA's interim planning process for the federal lands in Pickering, Markham and
Uxbridge. To date, the Advisory Committee has met on four occasions. This Report
provides Council with a status update on these meetings.
Financial Implications: Not Applicable
Background: In April 2001, Transport Minister David Collenette authorized the GTAA
to conduct an interim planning process for the federal lands in Pickering, Markham and
Uxbridge. As part of this process, the GTAA established a "Pickering Advisory
Committee" (PAC) to provide input and advice to the GTAA, to discuss issues as they
arise, and to make recommendations were appropriate. The PAC was formed earlier
this year, and is made up of representatives from the regional and municipal
governments, as well as community and business interests. Technical support to PAC
is also available from vadous agencies and levels of government.
The membership and terms of reference for PAC are provided in Attachments No. 1
and 2. Pickering is represented through the Mayor's Office, and by Mr. Stephen
Frederick (as a community representative). The Division Head, Corporate Projects &
Policy, is the City's staff resource person for PAC.
PAC meetings are not public.meetings. However, the GTAA makes summaries of all
meetings available to all interested stakeholders. The GTAA is also committed to a
community outreach program, details of which are still being finalized, but includes a
website, circulation of brochures and information material, and a series of open houses
(commencing later this year). The GTAA has also established a site office for the
Report MO 03-02 Date: August 7, 2002 0 3
Subject: GTAA Pickering Advisory Committee Page 2
Pickering lands in the Bentley House in Brougham. The site office is open to the public,
and can be reached by a toll free number (1-866-430-4822).
The inaugural meeting of the PAC occurred on February 7th, 2002. Subsequent
meetings were held on April 11th, May 23rd and June 23"d. To date, the focus of the
meetings has been on familiarizing members with the GTAA's planning process,
identifying key issues that members would like to see addressed during the process,
and providing background information to members on various required studies,
including a Financial Assessment Analysis, a Runway Siting Study, and a Groundside
Transportation Study.
To support the work of PAC, .the GTAA has established two working groups, a
Community Communications Working Group and a Govemment Affairs Working Group.
The Community Communications Working Group was established to provide a forum
for the development and implementation of the GTAA's community outreach efforts.
Key tasks of this Working Group include providing advice on the methods and tools
used to share information, and providing important input and feedback from the
community. The purpose of the Government Affairs Working Group is to provide a
forum for detailed discussion regarding municipal and provincial initiatives that could be
impacted by or have an impact on the planning of a possible airport. Some of the
issues for discussion will include transportation and access, as well as the provision of
hard and soft services.
The next PAC meeting is scheduled for September 18th, 2002. At that meeting it is
anticipated that the GTAA will be in a position to review with the Committee some
preliminary results from the Financial Assessment Analysis.

Dear Mr. Arthurs:
I ,'un writing to invite you to consider proclaiming the month of September as 2~rea~fastfor
£earning 5vlonth.
The goal of this month is to increase awareness of the importance of child nutrition as it relates to learning.
Along with other communities across Canada, Durham's Child Nutrition Project is trying to reach as man5
Canadians as possible to help them understand how vital nutrition is to a child's ability to learn; "You
can't train the brain...if you don't include the food!"
Since 1999 Durham's Child Nutrition Project, with the support of the Region Municipality of Durham, has
helped thousands of children in over 56 nutrition programs get a good start on each day by providing
nntritious meals and snacks in a wa_nfl and caring envir0mnent.
The Project also receives tremendous support from local orgamzations including churches, community
groups and businesses, and the Canadian Living Foundation, Breakfast for Learning. Breakfast for
Learning is the only national non-profit orgamzation that is solely dedicated to supporting child nutrition in
Canada. It works with communities across the country to develop and maintain programs and ensure that
all Canadian children attend school well nourished and ready to learn.
Your official declaration of marking September 2002 as 3rea~fastfor £earning ~lonth in the
City of Picketing will not only increase awareness, but will provide recognition to the committed
volunteers and partners who help to sustain these programs.
Please feel free to contact me at 905-686-2661 should you require fi~rther information on this month, or any
other aspect of the Durham Child Nutrition Project.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope to ]neet you at upcoming 3reakfastfor £earninl~
Events. Thank you for considering this opportunity to support child nutrition in our conununity.

Dear Mayor Arthurs,
Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope celebrates its 22nd Anniversary on
Sunday, September 15th, 2002, commencing at 9:00 a.m. from the
Pickering Recreational Complex. The work and benefits of being
involved with the Terry Fox Run are extremely fulfilling. So many of
us have been touched in some way by Cancer. We have lost family,
friends and even pets to this disease. This year we are determined to
do our utmost in honour of those we have lost and those that are still
fighting.
We are also thrilled to get a jump start on our fund raising on August
24th and 25th, 2002. This year we have been given the space in
front of the Wal-mart Pickering store to host a BBQ extraordinaire!
Amongst several other festivities, including a Harry Potter contest, we
will be having a wondedul guest of honour come to our community,
"Darrell Fox". We are in the process of organizing a large press
conference for his visit on August 24th at 12:15 p.m. It would be a
great honour if you would give an official "Pickering welcome" and
introduce Darrell to our community.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 S, 2,002
We are privileged to have some extraordinary volunteers on board
working behind the scenes to make Terry's dream come true. Your
presence last year at the Terry Fox Run day was a tremendous
contribution to the efforts of the Pickering Community. "Together" we
raised $45,145.00 compared with $22,000,00 in 2000, toward finding
the cure to cancer through research and education. It would once
again, be an honour to have your support at our events and to have-
Sunday, September 15th, 2002 officially proclaimed as the Terry Fox
Run day."
I would also like to encourage you and other members of Council to
participate and enjoy the run, walk, bike, rollerblade "togetherness" of
our community as we unite on this day for our public, vet verv
personal' fight against cancer!
