Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. AND WHEREAS the said Section 7 of the CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS is a constitutional provision that protects an individual's autonomy and personal legal rights from actions of the government in Canada with three types of protection within the section, namely the right to life, liberty, and security of the person. AND WHEREAS the said Section 7 of the CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS provision provides both substantive and procedural rights afforded to anyone facing an adjudicative process or procedure that affects fundamental rights and freedoms, and certain substantive standards related to the rule of law that regulate the actions of the state (e.g., the rule against unclear or vague laws) such as the locating and erection of wind generation facilities as vaguely provided for in the Planning Act of the Province of Ontario with no locating criteria legislated; AND WHEREAS no legal principle has been demonstrated by the Province of Ontario about which there is sufficient societal consensus that it is fundamental to the way in which the legal system should fairly operate that there be no locating criteria based on the health, safety and well being of the residents of Ontario, with respect to wind generation facilities, that would identify with sufficient precision to yield a manageable standard against which to measure deprivations of life, liberty or security of the person (R. v. Malmo-Levine, 2003); AND WHEREAS The "Principles of Fundamental Justice" require that means used to achieve a societal purpose or objective must be reasonably necessary and this principle is violated when the government, in pursuing a "legitimate objective", uses "means" that unnecessarily and disproportionately interfere with an individual's rights (R. v. Heywood) as is the case with removing the locating of wind turbines from local planning processes thereby interfering with normal individual rights respecting local land use planning; . AND WHEREAS the said Section 7 of the CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS can also be violated by the conduct of a party other than a Canadian government body (e.g. wind generation companies) with the government needing only to be a participant or complicit in the conduct threatening the right, when the violation of the security of the person with respect to the person's health, safety and well being would be a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the government, or other body's, actions; AND WHEREAS the Section 7 of the CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS right to security of the person, consists of rights to privacy of the body and its health and of the right protecting the "psychological integrity" of an individual, that is, the right protects against significant government-inflicted harm (stress) to the mental state of the individual. (Blencoe V. B.C. (Human Rights Commission), 2000); 2 AND WHEREAS Section 92 of the Constitution Act, 1982 provides further that the "Exclusive 0 Powers of Provincial Legislatures" include: "7. The Establishment, Maintenance, and Management of Hospitals, Asylums, Charities, and Eleemosynary Institutions in and for the Province, other than Marine Hospitals. " (responsibility for the health of its residents) "8. Municipal Institutions in the Province" (including local planning limitations) "13. Property and Civil Rights in the Province. " (with a responsibility to protect same) "14. The Administration of Justice in the Province, including the Constitution, Maintenance, and Organization of Provincial Courts both of Civil and of Criminal Jurisdiction, and including Procedure in Civil Matters in those Courts " (including upholding Part 1 being the CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS); AND WHEREAS the Government of Canada has established HEALTH CANADA, an Agency whose mandate is to `protect the Canadian public by researching, assessing and collaborating in the management of the health risks and safety hazards associated with the many consumer products that Canadians use everyday" and works with "all levels of Governmental agencies and programmes: Indust', National, regional, and international groups and the Canadian Public in pursuit of reducing or eliminating said risks and hazards; AND WHEREAS the Province of Ontario has established THE MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE which is responsible for promoting the development of an. affordable, safe, reliable, secure and environmentally sustainable energy supply; AND WHEREAS the. Province of Ontario has established THE MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT which is responsible for protecting, restoring and enhancing the environment to ensure public health and environmental quality; AND WHEREAS the Province of Ontario has established THE MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES to sustainably manage the province's' natural resources to contribute to the environmental, social and economic well-being of the people of Ontario; AND WHEREAS on February 20, 2004, Ontario Premier, Dalton McGuinty stated that: "The health of Ontarians is our province's most precious resource. We share a responsibility to protect it from harm, and care for it in times of need"; AND WHEREAS the Province of Ontario, through Section 11, of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, has mandated broad authority that lower-tier municipalities may provide "any service or thing that the municipality considers necessary or desirable for the public, as follows: By-laws (2) A lower-tier municipality and an upper-tier municipality may pass by-laws, subject to the rules set out in subsection (4), respecting the following matters:... 1.

Services and things that the municipality is authorized to provide under subsection (1). 8. Protection of persons and property, including consumer protection. 3 i thereby recognizing the lower-tier municipality's need and responsibility to provide for the health, safety and well-being of is residents; AND WHEREAS The Corporation of the Municipality of Arran-Eldershe's confidence in the safety of the locating criteria of WIND GENERATION FACILITIES, as legislated by the Province of Ontario, is based on the premise that, having done their due diligence with respect to ensuring the health, safety and well-being of their citizens under The Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, both the federal and provincial governments are prepared to certify the said facilities for location within the Municipality; AND WHEREAS there is no intention by The Corporation of the Municipality of Aran- Elderslie to prevent or restrict the "use" of wind generation facilities as a source of renewable energy but rather to promote their "use" in a responsible manner to benefit, or at least, do no harm to any individual by such "use"; AND WHEREAS it is deemed advisable to ensure the continued good health, safety and well- being of all persons living and/or owning lands within the Corporation of the Municipality of Arran-Elderslie in a responsible manner; NOW THEREFORE THE COUNCIL OF THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF ARRAN-ELDERSLIE HEREBY ENACTS AS FOLLOWS: 1.

The main goal of the review is to assess the need for revisions to the PPS. The PPS is the integrated, consolidated statement of all ministries' policies concerning land use for Ontario and it provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Municipal councils, planning boards and any other decision makers including the Ontario Municipal Board must ensure their decisions that affect planning matters are consistent with the PPS. The PPS recognizes the complex inter-relationships among economic, environmental and social factors in planning. It provides direction on key issues such as: the efficient use and management of land and resources; long-term protection of the natural environment and water resources; the conservation of cultural heritage and archaeological resources; and the protection of public health and safety. Your municipality's input and perspectives on whether changes to the PPS are needed will assist the government in determining if the policies are providing appropriate direction and protecting broader provincial interests. A PPS Review pamphlet containing background information on the land use planning system in Ontario including what the PPS is and how it is used; why the review is necessary; questions asking not only about what policies are working well but also whether some changes are needed; and information on how to provide comments is available online at www.mah.gov.on.ca/Page7243.aspx. The PPS, 2005 can also be viewed online by visiting vvtArw.mah.gov.on.ca/Pagel485.aspx. Please provide your municipality's feedback on the questions contained in the pamphlet by August 31, 2010. - Further information about the PPS Review is available online at www.ontario.ca/PPS. Information regarding the review of the PPS is also posted on the Environmental Bill of Rights Environmental Registry at www.ebr.gov.on.ca. /2 -2- If you have any questions, please contact Kyle Maclntyre, Manager (A), Provincial Planning Policy Branch at 416-585-6014. 56 Sincerely, Ken Petersen Director (A) Provincial Planning Policy Branch I Ministry of Citizenship Ministbre des Affaires civiques and Immigration et de I'Immigration Minister Ministre 61° Floor 6e etage 400 University Avenue 400, avenue University Ontario Toronto ON M7A 2139 Toronto ON M7A 2R9 Tel.: (416) 325-6200 Tbl.: (416) 325-6200 1+4_11D Fax: (416) 325-6195 T61ec.: (416) 325-6195 F 57 E " s CITE' oi-, PW EKING MAY x'010 May, 2010 CLERK'S DIVISION Re: Ontario Medal For Good Citizenshiu Dear Friends: I am pleased to let you know that nominations for the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship are now being accepted.

The event was organized by a youth council named [YOU]nity whose goal is to bring the City of Pickering's youth closer together and break down walls created by racism and stereotypes. [YOU]nity had an overwhelming response at their auditions and as a result have attained many great acts that showcase the talent we have in our Pickering youth. The show was designed to raise money, through a $2 door ticket, for a local Pickering charity. This year, [YOU]nity has selected The Refuge, a charity that aims to shelter homeless youth by means of intervention and prevention. Donations were also taken during the show with all proceeds going to charity. According to [YOU]nity chair and Pine Ridge Secondary School student Chris Gordon, "Taking the time to run and support these events are so important because someone needs to step up for those who don't have a voice. By holding this event and raising money for The Refuge, the youth that don't have a voice are given one, because the silent struggle that they face is made public".

Dear Head of Council and members of Council, FIRE HUMAN RES I am writing to you today to bring to your attention a very serious matter that will negatively impact all municipalities within Ontario if the practice I am about to bring to your attention becomes "Standard Operating Procedure" (SOP) for the Ministry of Environment. From the attached briefing notes, you will see that a private property owner received a furnace oil delivery from a private business in December of 2008. A furnace oil leak ensued and clean up operations began,. led by the private property owners insurance company and supervised by MOE personnel. When the property owners insurance funds were exhausted, the MOE issued orders against the City of Kawartha Lakes, (the municipality) to assume responsibility (operationally and financially) for the entire cleanup of the road allowances and Sturgeon Lake, despite the fact that the municipality had no involvement or responsibility for the furnace oil leak occurring. This is clearly a matter of principle that we believe `the polluter should pay "not the municipality and our property taxpayers! Especially when they have acknowledged we are an innocent victim in this matter. If this becomes MOE standard practice, it may be your municipality and your constituents footing the bill for the next spill. With the preceding in mind, on behalf of. Kawartha Lakes Council, our solicitor has appealed the MOE orders to the Environmental Tribunal as we see these actions as unfair and potentially crippling to Ontario municipalities if this MOE practice continues. We appreciate AMO's support in sharing this concern through the AMO Watch File to date recognizing that this could be precedent setting for all municipalities. The costs of defending, not only the City, but the rights of all municipalities is significant. Therefore, we would respectfully request that your Council consider investing a small, yet significant donation to this legal defense fund to ensure that no other municipality is placed in the position that Kawartha Lakes has been. If you would consider contributing even $0.02 (two cents) per resident to the Defense Fund or a minimum of a $500.00 contribution, it would greatly assist with our collective defense. 83 Further, should any surplus exist at the conclusion of legal proceedings, you have our commitment that these funds will be transferred to AMO with a request to consider the creation of a Municipal Legal Defense Fund to prepare for the next time a fund is needed by Ontario municipalities. I am confident that you will see the need to work together to prevent this from affecting any other municipality. I would like to thank you in.advance for your consideration and commitment to preventing Ontario municipalities from the unfair burden of increased responsibilities such as the one I have shared with you. Again, many thanks for your .contribution and please feel free to contact me should you have any questions relating to this matter.

Following the release of approximately 700 litres of furnace oil from a private residence within the City of Kawartha Lakes, the City was served an order by the Ministry of the Environment to clean up the spill related contamination on an adjacent city roadway. The spill occurred on December. 18t', 2008 and the Order was served to the City on Friday March 27th, 2009. The City has since challenged the Order on the grounds that the municipality is an innocent party and the Order would better be served to any number of other parties having direct ownership, use or control of the pollutant. In response, the Environmental Tribunal has limited the municipality's right to put forward evidence to support our position. On November 20th , 2009, the Tribunal ruled that "all parties agree that the City was and is an innocent owner" and "the Tribunal is aware that the City is not the poiiuter". Nevertheless, the effect of the Tribunal's decision was to require the municipality to comply immediately with the Ministry of the Environment's remediation order, then attempt to recover the costs of doing so from the responsible parties. ' i As a result of the legal ruling, the City has since been forced to remediate the public property (road and shoreline) at considerable cost and will continue to bear the costs of ongoing monitoring and remediation directed by the Province. The City has appealed this ruling to the Divisional Court on the basis of 2 prior Divisional Court rulings supporting its position, however, the cost to mount this challenge from a legal perspective could be significant and without any recourse for cost recovery. We believe that 85 this case has implications for every municipality in the Province. Imagine the implications of numerous spills that could occur on municipal roads and highways and the impending orders that would be issued by the MOE against Ontario municipalities if this practise is not stopped and stopped right now!. We are appealing to the Province to enact legislative change to protect municipalities from being financially responsible for such clean ups and prevent municipalities from being forced to pursue legal costs from the very people we are mandated to serve. A copy of the Briefing Note we hope to present at the upcoming OGRA/ROMA conference to the Ministers of the Environment and Municipal Affairs and Housing is attached for your information. While we are hopeful the Province will address this unfairness, we are burdened with costs to defend our position and the position of all municipalities which, could result in serious ramifications for all Ontario municipalities. Therefore, Council for the City of Kawartha Lakes is respectfully requesting that AMO support our cause and/or endorse a request to all municipalities to contribute to our legal costs because this defence is in defence of all Ontario municipalities. The appeal before the Environmental Review Tribunal is set for April 2010, so time is of the essence. This case will set a precedent and dictate, from a policy perspective, how the Province will deal with municipalities in the future. We believe the current stand is unfair and places a burden on innocent taxpayers with added liability and cost. It is for these reasons that the City has requested the advice and assistance of AMO (and AMO member municipalities) to appeal the Tribunal ruling. If our appeal is successful, there will be a significant financial burden eliminated for all municipalities in the Province, should a similar spill occur in another Ontario municipality. We have also provided you with a copy of an article entitled "Tribunal Spurns `Polluter Pays' Principle" that was published in The Lawyers Weekly by Dianne Saxe, an Environmental lawyer. We recognize the importance of AMO's role in assisting and supporting municipalities from an advocacy perspective. We look forward to hearing from you no later than March 8"' regarding your ability to either support our appeal and/or to suggest ways to pursue this with our colleagues so that we may consider our next steps. If you have any questions in this regard, please feel free to contact myself or Jane Reynolds, CAO at (705) 324-9411, ext. 1296. Otherwise, our thanks to you and the Board for considering this very important matter.

BACKGROUND: On December 18, 2008 a spill to the environment of approximately 700 litres of furnace oil from a private residence within the City of Kawartha Lakes occurred. On Friday March 27, 2009 at 4PM the City was served an order by the Ministry of the Environment to cleanup the spill related contamination on the adjacent city roadway and take measures to protect the adjacent lake from contamination. Since this time the City has incurred over $300,000 in cleanup and investigation related costs to comply with the order. At the same time the City has also legally challenged the appropriateness of being served the order on the grounds that they are an innocent party and the order would better be served to any number of other parties having direct ownership, use or control of the pollutant. In response, the Environmental Tribunal has limited the City's right to put forward evidence to support its position and on November 20, 2009 ruled that "all parties agree that the City was and is an innocent owner" and "not the polluter". Nevertheless, the effect of the Tribunal's decision was to require the municipality to comply immediately with the Ministry of the Environment's remediation order. It has then been left to us, the innocent owner, to then attempt to recover the costs of the remedial work from the responsible parties. I I 8 7 Page 2 As a result of the legal ruling the City has been forced to investigate, remediate and monitor the public property (road and shoreline) at considerable cost and will continue to bear the costs of ongoing monitoring and remediation directed by the Province. The City has appealed this ruling to the Divisional Court on the basis of two prior Divisional Court rulings supporting its position and the matter is scheduled to be heard in April of this year. However, the cost to mount this challenge from a legal perspective could be significant and without any recourse for cost recovery. The City is seeking support from AMO and other municipalities for legal costs, because all municipalities should be concerned that they may end up dealing with a similar situation should a spill occur adjacent to one of their roads and/or properties. This case will set a precedent and dictate, from a policy perspective, how 3 municipalities will be dealt with in the future. We believe it is unfair to burden innocent taxpayers with added liability and cost. If an appeal was successful there would be benefit to all municipalities in the province as well as the City should a i similar situation re-occur. i This case has inspired considerable media attention as well as interest in the insurance and regulatory fields. We have provided a copy of a recent article entitled "Tribunal Spurns 'Polluter Pays' Principle" that was published in The Lawyers Weekly by Dianne Saxe, an Environmental lawyer ISSUE: As a result of a heating oil spill on a private residence (in which the City has been legally declared an innocent party by the Environmental Tribunal) the City has since been forced to remediate the public property (road and shoreline) at considerable cost and continues to bear the costs of ongoing monitoring and remediation directed by the Province... in spite of MOE's recognition that the City is not the polluter. i We would rather not legally challenge the Province. Instead, we are hopeful that it would be in the best interests of the Ministry of the Environment along with the ? Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to work together to change legislation to protect municipalities and others and ensure municipalities are not placed in this very I difficult situation. CONCLUSION: f As a result of the legal ruling a precedent is being set as to how MOE may deal with municipalities with spills that occur adjacent to municipal properties and roads. We believe this approach is unfair and will burden innocent taxpayers with added liability and costs. Levels of Government should be working together to solve this concern for all municipalities, not only on this one issue, but for everyone in the future. The polluter should pay...not an innocent party! f 88 AOP.Po' HISWIll 1 if 1 ~2 CO* ~1qy a d. try .~t ~1, $ a d .0 00 Nino 11;A4 Fill of 110 :q It Ing d nuil 49 d 13 ag 5'i a', o o ~O its fit l0 .q V Pry G M Cl gay .'q r c m a3 a ` q' v „d 40 o ice( Q. 9.0-90 0 ;a 4,1 4D d ,q 414- 'El mow, ` Til w ° Yv a'V I tliN A w 99 79, oil ~ ~ ~ d .1~ v Ff • > fi''o ~LLj11 it g o' .

We are requesting that the City of Oshawa annually declare November 14 th as World Diabetes Day. In hopes that this will be a Durham Region wide collaboration, we are approaching all towns and cities in Durham with the same appeal. World Diabetes Day is celebrated every year on November 14th, to mark the birthday of Frederick Banting who is widely regarded as a key figure in the discovery of insulin in 1922. The World Diabetes Day campaign is led by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and its member associations. It engages millions of people worldwide in diabetes advocacy and awareness. World Diabetes Day was created in 1991 by the IDF and the World-Health Organization (WHO) in response to growing concerns about the escalating health threat that diabetes poses. It also became an official United Nations Day in 2007 with the passage of United Nation Resolution 61/225. The campaign draws attention to issues of paramount importance to the diabetes world and keeps diabetes firmly in the public spotlight. 2010 marks the second year of the five-year focus on 'Diabetes Education and Prevention', the theme selected by the IDF and the WHO for World Diabetes Day 2009-2013. For the general public and people at high risk of diabetes, the focus will be on raising awareness of diabetes and disseminating tools for the prevention of diabetes. For people with diabetes, the focus will be on education to improve knowledge of diabetes in order to better understand the condition and prevent complications. For governments and policy-makers, efforts will focus on advocacy aimed at communicating the cost-effective implications of diabetes prevention strategies and promoting diabetes education as a core component of diabetes management and treatment. The Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) states that more than 20 people in Canada are diagnosed with diabetes every hour of every day, and that an estimated 700,000 people have the disease and do not know it. Diabetes is a serious disease that affects all aspects of life and requires considerable effort by the individual and the health care system for effective, long-term management. Diabetes related costs to the health care system are significant and includes the management of various complications and associated conditions such as heart disease, kidney disease, and depression. According to the CDA, the economic burden of diabetes in Canada is expected to be $1.2.2 billion in 2010. Many people do not realize that diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death throughout the world and that people who live with diabetes face an ongoing challenge to control the disease and live a healthy life. Locally, there are approximately 40,000 people in Durham Region living with diabetes and with new cases diagnosed every day, this number continues to grow. This does not include the large number of people who are 'at risk' of developing diabetes, those who have been identified as having prediabetes, and people who may already have the disease but have not been diagnosed.

Complications of diabetes, which can have a devastating impact on the health of those diagnosed, can be delayed and even avoided if the person has the knowledge and support to manage the disease effectively. The DRDN is working together for a regionalized, coordinated and standardized system of prevention, management, care and treatment to meet the needs of clients living with diabetes in the Durham Region. Since 1997, our continued vision is an adequately funded, accessible and sustainable standardized system of excellence in prevention, care and management for diabetes clients and their care givers. The DRDN organizes and hosts many free, community based programs for those with diabetes including Support Groups in Oshawa, Pickering and Clarington, and Living Well With Diabetes sessions. One of our biggest community initiatives is Durham Diabetes. Day, held each year on the first Saturday in November. This free event provides awareness, education, motivation, and support for people in Durham Region living with diabetes. Highlights of the daylong event include a motivating keynote speaker address, exhibitors and workshops on topics of interest to people with diabetes, informative sessions with pharmacists, dietitians and other healthcare workers and many other exciting features. We are always looking to create new partnerships within the community to assist and educate the public on diabetes. The DRDN is continuing to create partnerships with community organizations to increase awareness of diabetes and recognize November 14th as World Diabetes Day. Collaborations with local pharmacies, community centres, libraries and shopping malls have already been established. Diabetes information displays will be exhibited to promote diabetes awareness and highlight available diabetes education programs within the Durham community. We would be honoured to have the City of Pickering declare November 14th as World Diabetes Day and assist us in educating the public about diabetes and its complications. The DRDN would like to thank the City of Pickering in advance for consideration of this request.

We would like to thank you for your proclamation, and to let you know that our campaign was extremely successful, as we were able to attain dozens of official proclamations across Canada from provinces, territories and cities. This year, we are once again asking for your support in proclaiming "International Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week" in the city of Pickering during the week of October 25-31, 2010. Your proclamation will be declared in conjunction with similar announcements by officials around the globe! A bit about EB... Picture for a moment... a young child wrapped in gauze to protect agonizing sores that cover the majority of a small, frail body. Imagine that child smiling bravely through tears because it's hard to understand why every day hurts so much. If you can envision an image of this child, you've pictured someone who needs your help - but more importantly, someone you can help. Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by exceptionally fragile skin and chronic, painful wounds and blisters caused by the slightest trauma, even normal day-to-day activities. The disease affects people of both genders and every ethnicity. As many as 500,000 people (constituents) worldwide suffer from some form of EB. It is often disabling and life-threatening, requiring daily wound care similar to that of severe burn patients. There is no cure, but there is something about the word "incurable" that is contrary to the indomitable nature of people living with EB. In terms of awareness and knowledge, there is an unfortunate gap between what is and what should be. Changing this is vital to the future of EB research and universal patient support. The EB community is determined to lead a movement to fundamentally change its experiences and expectations - to speak with one voice in our relentless quest for effective treatments and a cure for all types of EB. Your proclamation will serve to support the continuing work of EB charities as a critical link in the effective delivery of healthcare to EB patients around the globe. I am one of many global volunteers working in accord to promote "International Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week." These efforts will improve the quality of life for people with EB by increasing recognition of this genetic condition among the public, media, government, education and medical communities. I enclose a sample proclamation which details the goals of our week. Feel free to consolidate the goals or generalize if space is limited. If you agree to participate, I will be happy to work with your staff to issue a press release to local media, and coordinate coverage of a proclamation presentation. I will call your office in a few days to further discuss the proclamation and answer any questions you may have. Thank you in advance for your consideration and approval of our request. Your help will be greatly appreciated by the hundreds of thousands of people worldwide who suffer from EB, especially among those who are in your constituency!

PROCLAMATION WHEREAS International Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week is a global effort dedicated to the promotion of "BB" awareness in countries around the world; and WHEREAS International Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week was founded in 2009 by Gena Brumitt, daughter of Lillian "Pat" Barbrey (1934-2000), an exceptionally courageous woman with a severe form of EB who wanted awareness raised so that people with EB would come to realize that they are not alone, and to expand EB research toward the creation of effective treatments and a cure; and WHEREAS, EB is a group of debilitating genetic diseases characterized by the presence of extremely fragile skin that results in the development of recurrent, painful blisters and open sores likened to a 3`d degree burn and, in more severe forms of the disease, major complications including disabling musculoskeletal deformities, disfiguring scars, internal blistering, malnutrition, dehydration and early mortality risk, and it is known as a rare or "orphan" disease, resulting in a lack of significant research; and WHEREAS the skin is so fragile for individuals with the disease that even minor rubbing and day-to-day activity may cause blistering, including activities such as writing, eating, walking, and even minor chafing from rolling over in bed or the seams and tags on clothing; and WHEREAS approximately 3,000 people in Canada are impacted by this disease, which takes its toll on hundreds of thousands of patients, families and caregivers internationally at a rate of about 1 in 12,000, affecting both genders and occurring in every racial and ethnic group throughout the world; and WHEREAS presently, there is no known cure for EB, most healthcare practitioners are not familiar enough with EB to respond with best practices when interdisciplinary care is critical to address the disorder's multiple aspects, and vital wound care supplies are unavailable in some regions, or may be costly and not covered by health insurance; and WHEREAS International Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week will be celebrated the last week of October annually, to increase understanding, reduce unnecessary deaths, and improve the quality of life for people with EB in our Canadian communities; and WHEREAS our , by and with the advice and consent of , is pleased to enact this important proclamation on , 2010.

Cary o¢~ Report To Council PICKERING Report Number: PD 23-10 Date: June 21, 2010105 From: Neil Carroll Director, Planning & Development Subject: City of Pickering Comments for Amendment to Certificate of Approval No. 6785-6PTRGD MacPherson Transfer Limited (formerly U-PAK Disposals) (Ministry of the Environment - File No. 1279-84WTZS) 1740 McPherson Court City of Pickering Recommendation: 1. That Report PD 23-10 of the Director, Planning & Development be received; 2. That the Director, Ministry of the Environment be advised that the City of Pickering objects to the proposed amendment to the existing Certificate of Approval for MacPherson Transfer Limited, identified as EBR # 010-9956; and, 3. Further, that Report PD 23-10 be forwarded to the Director, Ministry of the Environment as the City's submission on MOE Certificate of Approval # 010-9956 for MacPherson Transfer Limited. Executive Summary: On May 14, 2010 the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) forwarded a request for municipal comments on a proposal by MacPherson Transfer Limited (formerly known as U-PAK Disposals) to amend its existing Certificate of Approval for 1740 McPherson Court (see Ministry of Environment Letter and Location Map, Attachments #1 and #2). The current Certificate of Approval held by MacPherson Transfer Limited for this site was issued by the MOE to U-PAK Disposals on May 3, 2007 despite City Council's formal objection (Report No. CS 33-06 considered by Council on June 5, 2006 - Resolution 79/06), and permits the operation of a waste transfer facility for solid non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste (excluding organic waste). This amendment application to the Certificate of Approval proposes to more than triple the volume of waste accepted at the site and introduce additional waste streams from an expanded variety of sources from within Ontario. The additional waste stream is proposed to include blue box recycling and source separated organics. City staffs review of the application has identified odour and traffic concerns that are anticipated to adversely impact abutting business and industry. The MOE has requested comments by June 28, 2010. It is recommend that City Council advise the MOE that it objects to the application to amend the Certificate of Approval on the basis that odour and traffic impacts have not been properly addressed and that the proposed increased scale of operation is inappropriate for this location and will cause significant negative impacts on the surrounding business community. Report PD 23-10 June 21, 2010 106 Subject: Certificate of Approval (MacPherson Transfer Limited) Page 2 Financial Implications: There are no direct financial implications to the City as a result of this application. The City has contracted Aecom Canada Ltd. to assist in the review of the MacPherson Transfer Limited application to the MOE, with costs covered by the Planning & Development Department's approved general consulting budget. Sustainability Implications: Although the City supports recycling initiatives, the concerns identified by the City respecting odours and traffic associated with the MacPherson Transfer Limited application are anticipated to adversely impact abutting business and industry, and are therefore not supportive of economic sustainability. 1.0 Background: Existing Certificate of Approval The original application for a Certificate of Approval for this site was forwarded to Council for its consideration on June 5, 2006 (Report No. CS 33-06). Resolution 79/06 was sent to the MOE indicating that the City did not support the proposed certificate (see Council Resolution 79/06, Attachment #4). Despite the objections of the City the MOE issued the Certificate of Approval on May 3, 2007. The certificate of approval permitted the proponent to accept solid non- hazardous commercial and industrial waste from within the Province of Ontario only, with a specific provision prohibiting the acceptance of organic material. The applicant filed a site plan application with the City to facilitate the construction of the waste transfer facility and approval was granted on May 29, 2009 (see Applicant's Submitted Site Plan, Attachment #3). The buildings are now substantially complete, however all on-site works have not yet been implemented. Proposed amendment to the existing Certificate The proposed amendment to the existing Certificate of Approval is to add additional waste streams, waste sources, and increase the volume of material to be accepted and stored on-site. A comparison of the original certificate versus the new proposal is provided below. Proposal Comparison Current Certificate of Approval Proposed Certificate Waste Source Only Waste from Province of Only Waste from Province of Ontario Ontario Report PD 23-10 June 21, 201 107 Subject: Certificate of Approval (MacPherson Transfer Limited) Page 3 Current Certificate of Approval Proposed Certificate Types of Waste Solid non-hazardous Solid non-hazardous waste from to be accepted commercial and industrial domestic sources, industrial, sources (no organic waste) commercial and institutional sources, source separated organics and blue box materials Volume of No more than 299 tonnes of No more than 1000 tonnes of Waste to be waste per day shall be accepted waste per day shall be accepted accepted at the site at the site Total amount of No more than 299 tonnes shall No more than 600 tonnes shall be Waste to be be stored or present on-site at stored or present on-site at any stored on-site any time time and the maximum residual waste for final disposal is 700 tonnes per day 1.1 Additional traffic generation is a concern Access to this site is from McPherson Court, which is a no exit road, located approximately 190 metres east of Brock Road. Further, Brock Road does not have a dedicated left turn lane for southbound traffic at McPherson Court. This short length of road and the current site design cannot accommodate the increased number of vehicles that will result from the increased processing volumes without serious queuing problems. Queing could significantly impact ingress and egress to developed properties on McPherson Court. The significant increase in volumes of inbound and outbound traffic will have negative impacts on local traffic movements. Below is a comparison of the traffic volumes from the original Certificate of Approval with the new volumes outlined in the proposed amendment. The proponent's consultant has advised that these trip generation numbers will not be typical for the site but represent a maximum calculation of traffic volumes. The numbers provided below provide the number of vehicle trips per day incoming and outgoing waste but do not include the empty trips to and from the site, therefore the proposed number of total trips will be greater than provided. Current Traffic Volumes Proposed Traffic Volumes Incoming Traffic - 45 trips per day Incoming Traffic - 200 truck trips per day Outgoing Traffic - 10 trips per day Outgoing Traffic - 31 trips per day ~pRrt PD 23-10 June 21, 2010 Subject: Certificate of Approval (MacPherson Transfer Limited) Page 4 The proposed amendment appears to position the proponent to operate in a manner similar to the existing waste transfer facility located at 1220 Squires Beach Road operated by Miller Waste Durham. There are differences in the two sites in that Miller Waste Durham does process somewhat larger volumes and varieties of waste than what is proposed by MacPherson Transfer Limited. The , most significant difference, respecting traffic generation, is that the Miller Waste location has frontage and direct access onto Squires Beach Road with the ability to control the queuing of vehicles on site without impeding traffic or other adjacent properties, mainly due to predominant southbound right turn movements into the site. The MacPherson Transfer Limited site does not possess the same ease of access as the Miller property and the site design does not appear to provide for the anticipated traffic volumes, particularly as it relates to vehicle queuing. 1.2 Potential odour generation is a concern The application proposes that this facility accept organic waste. This new waste stream raises serious concern respecting odours that will be generated from the site. The proponent's consultant has outlined methods proposed to deal with odour generation. • all waste receiving and transferring activity will be conducted within the building • the tipping floor will be swept clean and absorbents used to remove any liquid that may occur • waste will be removed from the facility within 24 hours of receipt, though storage for 72 hours under certain conditions may be required The proponent has indicated that if odours are detected the following actions will be taken: • employees will use a portable sprayer to dispense an odour neutralizer on any loads that are odourous • the odour suppression system over the waste storage area and waste loading floor will be activated and\or dosage rate adjusted • the doors to the facility will be closed when site is not open to accepting waste • priority will be given to odourous waste to be removed from site • if odourous waste is repeatedly received from a particular generator, waste will no longer be accepted Staff are concerned that these methods of odour control are strictly reactionary and will be inadequate and that significant odour impacts will result, negatively impacting existing established businesses in the surrounding area. Should the MOE allow this application to advance, a peer review of the application should be required to fully evaluate the odour control measures proposed by the applicant, and to determine and require the best possible odour control technology available for this type of facility. i Report PD 23-10 June 21, 2010.0 9 Subject: Certificate of Approval (MacPherson Transfer Limited) Page 5 As a comparison, Miller Waste Durham received a Certificate of Approval for discharge into the air to facilitate the installation of a 30 metre high ventilation stack to address odours generated at its Squires Beach Road facility. The package of information staff received from the MOE respecting the MacPherson Transfer Limited application does not identify any mechanical equipment specifically designed to address odour control, beyond a general description of a "misting" odour suppression system. While staff does not have specific expertise in this area, we are concerned that this system is limited and will not provide an adequate level of odour control. 1.3 Proposal is too large in scale and impact given its location The proposed increased volumes and expanded waste material sources, combined with potential odour issues and a significant increase in traffic volumes leads staff to conclude that this proposal is too large in scale and magnitude for this property and this location. Although the use is permitted under the existing `M2S'- Heavy Industrial Zone, it is the Certificate of Approval process undertaken by the MOE that provides the opportunity to fully evaluate the impacts of a proposed operation and whether it is suitable and appropriate for a specific location. Development surrounding this site is comprised primarily of industrial uses with some significant office development in the immediate vicinity. It is these specific locational characteristics that make this site inappropriate for an expanded facility. 1.4 Concerns with acceptance of other wastes from outside Durham Region The current Certificate of Approval for the site permits the acceptance of waste from any location within the Province of Ontario, and the proposed amendment maintains this geographical area for all proposed new waste sources. City Council has expressed its position in previous reports that the City should not be required to be a host municipality for the transfer, storage or processing of waste from other municipalities outside of Durham Region. This was the City's position at the time of commenting on the original Certificate of Approval for U- PAK Disposals. While the MOE was aware of this position, the Certificate of Approval for U-PAK was issued without this restriction. It is recommended that, should the MOE allow this application to advance, a condition be applied in the Certificate of Approval prohibiting the collection of domestic solid waste, source separated, organics and blue box materials from sources outside Durham Region. 1.5 Proponent did not pre-consultation with the City The proponent or their consultant have not preconsulted with City staff regarding this proposal. The City only recently learned of this application through its monitoring of the Provincial Environmental Registry and receipt of a letter from the MOE dated May 14, 2010. 'Report POD 23-10 June 21, 2010 Subject: Certificate of Approval (MacPherson Transfer- Limited) Page 6 Consequently, limited time has been available for the City to fully consider all potential impacts of the application, seek further information or clarification, or undertake a complete and thorough review of the proposal with a qualified peer review consultant.

NOW THEREFORE the Council of the City of Pickering is of the opinion that the sidewalk network on Kingston Road, both on the north and south sides, should be completed from the Toronto boundary to the west to the Ajax boundary to the east, thus having continuous sidewalks on Kingston Road through the entire City of Pickering. NOW THEREFORE Council directs staff to prepare an inventory of the sidewalk network on Kingston Road and prepare a plan identifying gaps and deficiencies in the sidewalk network, consider bike routes and recommending priorities to Council in time for consideration of Council through the 2011 City budget. NOW THEREFORE staff in preparing the plan, consult with the Region of Durham, including Durham Transit, and the City of Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee I J PICKERING June 21, 2010 BY-LAWS 7059/10 Being a by-law to amend Restricted Area (Zoning) By-law 3036, as amended by 1055/79 and By-law 6134/03, to implement the Official Plan of the City of Pickering in the Region of Durham Part 1 40R- 3466, and Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 40R-5805, and Part 1 40R-11779, City of Pickering (A21/09) (By-law attached) 7060/10 Being a by-law to amend Restricted Area (Zoning) By-law 3036, as amended by By-law 6537/05, to implement the Official Plan of the City of Pickering in the Region of Durham, North Part of Lot 18, Plan 329, City of Pickering.

A meeting was held on June 15, 2010, during which additional information and clarification was provided on the proposed draft by-law. The recommended uses were fully explained and discussed. Approximately 12 residential neighbours, the owners of the Brockington Plaza located on the south side of Kingston Road, opposite the subject lands, and the owner representatives were present. Staff distributed a revised draft by-law and explained that the "Restaurant-Type A" use had been removed, as directed by the Planning & Development Committee, and the requirement for submission of a traffic analysis prior to the lifting of the "(H)" Holding Symbol had been added by staff. Staff further explained the process and requirements for the lifting of the "(H)" Holding Symbol. The site plan approval process was discussed in terms of who is involved and matters to be considered. The owners of the Brockington Plaza expressed reservation for the drug store use being permitted as a drug store currently exists in their plaza. Staff explained that it would be inappropriate from a planning perspective to prohibit a drug store use on the basis of market competition. The residential neighbours present at the meeting indicated that they had concern with potential future hours of operation of permitted. uses (i.e. 24 hour operation), but were amenable to the proposed uses and provisions of the draft by-law as revised.

Martin Kaefer expressed several concerns with the loss of mature trees and added it is very hard to replace large mature trees with young saplings to provide a buffer to the subject property and the quality of life. Councillor Jennifer O'Connell indicated the proposed addition is too close to the property line, if the stage is necessary the owners should investigate internal changes to accommodate the stage elsewhere in the building, other schools in the community have large buffers and zoning setbacks around them and to date no trees have been replaced.

Ed Cutler of 8 Commonwealth Avenue and Barb Roadknight of 1133 Ridgewood Court were present in favour of the application. James Morrow of 1130 Ridgewood was present in objection to the application. Ricky Martin and Dawn Cutler explained the driveway is large enough to park the truck and a car in front and it does not over hang over the curb, the height of the truck is not excessive and indicated the truck is only parked there at night and on the weekends. Ed Cutler explained there is a difference of 9 inches in height and 1 foot in length compared to the required zoning by-law requirements and feels that is not much bigger than what is permitted.
