BACKGROUND
The Minister of the Environment introduced the proposed Clean Water Act which received first
reading on December 5, 2005. The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) is seeking comments
through posting the legislation on the Environmental Bill of Rights registry.
The proposed Act is designed to protect existing and future sources of drinking water through
the local identification and assessment of drinking water threats and the development of a
source protection plan that addresses these threats.
The proposed Act is comprised of 5 parts.
Part I—GenEral
Part I of the legislation establishes source protection areas and requires that a source
protection plan be developed for each area. Under proposed regulations, the CTC source
protection area will be established as the source protection area for our region (1 of 19 areas
proposed across the province), comprised of the CVC, CLOCA and TRCA jurisdictions. TRCA
will be the lead conservation authority (the "source protection authority") and the will have the
responsibility for facilitating the source protection planning process for this area.
Part II— Preparation, Amendment and Review of Source Protection Plans
This Part establishes the process for developing and approving source protection plans. As
the lead authority, TRCA is responsible for establishing the multi-stakeholder Source Protection
Committee (SPC) comprised of no more than 16 members for the CTC region. The chair of the
SPC must be approved by the Minister of the Environment and appointed by Order-in-Council.
The SPC is responsible for developing terms ot reference, an assessment report and a source
protection plan for the CTC source protection area. It is anticipated that the SPC will be
supported by a number of technical working groups.
Under the current MOA (including 100% funding) with Conservation Ontario and the province,
TRCA, CVC and CLOCA are preparing the background technical reports which will be part of
the basis for the assessment report required by the SPC. The assessment report identifies the
watersheds in the source protection area, the vulnerable areas within the watershed, and
assesses the drinking water threats in each vuinerable area in order to determine which threats
constitute significant drinking water threats. The assessment report must be submitted by the
SPC to the Source Protection Authority (SPA) for approval, who submit it subsequently to the
MOE Director for approval.
It is mandatory that the SPC consult with municipalities when the Terms of Reference for the
Assessment report are prepared, on the assessment report before it is submitted for approval
and also on the source protection plan prior to submission for approval. It is mandatory to
make the report available to the public when it is submitted to MOE. Within the CTC region, it
is our intention to consult fully with municipalities and to seek their agreement in the
establishment of the SPC and also in obtaining municipal council endorsement of reports and
source protection plans before these are submitted to the province.
��
Following approval of the assessment report, the SPC is responsible for preparing a source
protection plan (SPP). The SPP sets out policies intended to ensure that all current and future
activities that pose, or may pose, a significant drinking water threat (as identified in the
assessment report) cease to pose or to become a significant risk. Further, activities or specific
land uses prescribed by regulation which occur in a well-head protection area or a surface
water intake zone, may be designated for the purpose of specific provisions of Part IV. it is
mandatory for the SPC to consult with municipalities.
Part III—Effect of Source Protection Plans
The Act requires municipalities to conform their Official Plans, zoning by-laws and prescribed
instruments that relate to significant drinking water threats, with the SPP. In the case of a
conflict between the source protection plan and other provincial plans such as the Oak Ridges
Moraine Conservation Plan or Greenbelt Plan, the provisions most protective of the quality and
quantity of drinking water prevail. Decisions under the Planning Act and the Condominium Act,
1998, must conform to the SPP. Finally, the Minister can require the appropriate legal authority
to bring any non-conforming instrument prescribed by a regulation that relates to a significant
drinking water threat into conformity with the SPP.
Part IV — Regulation of Drinking Water Threats
The municipality that has authority to make by-laws under the Municipal Act, 2001 for the
production, treatment and storage of water is responsible for enforcement. This responsibility
may be delegated by agreement to conservation authorities. The body responsible for
enforcing Part IV must appoint a permit official and permit inspectors to administer the
provisions of this Part.
Municipalities may order the development of risk management plans where an activity has
been prescribed by regulation and the report has found that the activity constitutes a significant
drinking water threat in a welihead protection area or a surface water intake protection zone.
Appeals can be made to the Environmental Review Tribunal. A person is required to comply
with a risk management pian and failure to do so is an offence.
Part IV requires a person planning to build or get approval for specific land uses designated in
the SPP to have the permit official review the proposal to ensure compiiance before the
proposai is approved under the Planning Act or the person obtains a permit under the Building
Code Act.
Part IV provides authority to issue, amend, renew and revoke permits, issue enforcement
orders, powers of entry and to cause the work to be done at the person's expense. It also
provides for appeals to the Environmental Review Tribunal.
Part V — Other Matters
An important item for the CTC Watershed Region is the authority for the Minister of the
Environment to set targets for the Great Lakes as a source of drinking water.
����
Part V also establishes obligations on various public bodies to share information related to the
SPP process and the authority for the Director to establish technical rules in relation to
assessment reports, risk assessments and risk management plans. The province is planning
to post draft guidance documents on the EBR for comment in the near future. Technical staff
have been consulted on earlier drafts and CTC technicai work currently underway is being
carried out in accordance with most recent draft guidance.
Regulation-making authority is provided to the Minister for certain matters and a more general
regulation-making authority is given to the Lieutenant Governor in Councit.
Part V includes a general conflict provision that provides that in case of a confiict between the
Clean Water Act, 2005 and a provision of another Act or a regulation made under another Act,
the provision that provides the greatest protection to a drinking water source prevaiis. In
addition there is a specific conflict provision in relation to the Nutrient Management Act, 2002,
which provides that in case of a conflict between a provision of the Clean Water Act, 2005 and
a provision of the Nutrient Management Act, 2002, a regulation or an instrument under that Act,
the provision of the Clean Water Act, 2005 prevails. Note that nothing in the Clean Water Act,
2005 affects the conflict provision in the Nutrient Management Act, 2002 in relation to municipai
by-laws.
Finally, Part V includes an offence provision, largely for the purpose of enforcing Part IV and
penalties with maximums from $25,000 to $100,000 per day.
This Bill amends other legislation. Amendments to the Building Code Act authorize the
establishment by regulation of maintenance inspection programs for septic systems. They also
allow for the establishment of other types of maintenance inspection programs, and makes
compiimentary amendments to the Pianning Act, the Conservation Authorities Act and the
Consolidated Hearings Act.
Staff Comments
The legislation is consistent with the recommendations made previously by Conservation
Ontario and TRCA on the White Paper and earlier draft legisiation. Details will be contained in
future regulations and it is difficult to comment at this time on whether or not we would
recommend supporting all the provisions to be included in these regulations.
The addition of provisions to consider cur� ent and potential source impacts on the Great Lakes
intakes and for municipalities to designate ciusters of private well or surface water sites for
protection as municipal drinking water suppiies is a considerable improvement. Both of these
are important considerations within the CTC source protection region. The province also has
announced grant money for studies related to the Great Lakes among other priorities. The CTC
region may submit to MOE a grant proposal in cooperation with our municipal partners to
develop an assessment and model for ongoing assessment of potential impacts to drinking
water in the western basin of Lake Ontario.
J�
The legislation does not provide any powers to fund the required activities of the Source
Protection Committee, the Source Protection Authority, the mandatory monitoring and annual
reporting or plan amendments. MOE staff has advised that it is the government's intention that
municipalities (who are responsible for implementing the SPPs) will use new taxing powers
through the Sustainab/e WaterandSewageAct, 2002to recover costs and to achieve fuil-cost
accounting for water and sewage services. it is not clear how the SPC and SPA will be paid
although to date the province has been paying 100% of the costs of the technical studies being
carried out by conservation authorities through the MOA with Conservation Ontario & the
Ministry of Naturai Resources. This matter wiil be raised in the comments on EBR.
In summary, the draft Clean WaterAct, 2005is a positive legislative initiative which will greatly
increase the powers of municipalities to protect current and future drinking water sources. The
roles identified for conservation authorities strengthen and build on their current roles and
expertise in watershed management and working effectively with municipal partners and other
watershed stakeholders. The legislation confers new responsibilities in protecting human
heaith through helping protect drinking water sources.

RE: EBR Registry Number: AA05E0001, Draft Clean Water Act, Bili 43, 2005
At Authority Meeting #11/05, of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), held on January 27,
2005, the following amended Resolution was approved as TRCA's formai submission in response to the Ministry
of the EnvironmenYs posting of the draft Clean WaferAct. TRCA has been designated as the lead authority for
the proposed CTC Source Protection Region comprised of Credit Valley Conservation, Central Lake Onfario
Conservation Authority and TRCA per your draft regulation EBR Registry Number: RA05E0022.
The Authority Resolution reads as follows:
WHEREAS the Aufhority has previously supported the White Paper on Watershed Based Source
Protection P/anning, February 2004 by Resolution #A67/04 and the earlier proposed drinking water
legislation (Drinking Water Source Protection Act, 2004)by Resolution #A224/04;
WHEREAS the current proposed legislation is consistenf with these earlier proposals;
WHEREAS the province has provided funding to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA),
Credit Val/ey Conservation (CVC), and Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) as the CTC
Watershed Region to undertake fechnica! studies in support of source protection planning through
Memorandum's of Agreement (MOA) approved by Resotution #A67/04 and Resolution #A241/05;
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the Authority supports the proposed Clean WaterAct, 2005
and the role proposed for conservation authorities;
THAT staff be authorized and directed to make comments th�ough the Environmental Bill of Rights
registry (EBR) process on behalf of TRCA and the CTC Watershed Region to the province in support of
the Clean Water Act, 2005;

AND FURTHER THAT TRCA expresses its concern to the province that the funding mechanism for
the ongoing long term responsibilities of the Source Protection Authority, the Source Protection
Planning Committee and the implementation of the Source Protection Plan, has not been
determined, and thaf these costs cannot be assumed by the municipalities in the absence of
additional provincra! suppart..
Firstly, we wish to compliment the ministry on the proposed IP�islation. In particular we arE: very pleased to note
that this Act has two new provisions that are of particular importance to protecting drinking water sources with�n
the CTC Region. The addition of provisions to include assessment and protection of drinking water sources in the
Great Lakes is extremely important given the large number of Ontarians who depend upon water supplies in one
or more of the Great Lakes and connecting channels. Furthermore, providing municipalities with the option of
designating a collection of private wells as an area subject to the same protections as municipal wellheads will be
extremely important in protecting a number of vulnerable areas.
We're pleased that the conservation authority is formally recognized as having an important partnership role in
protecting the source of drinking water. We look forward to continue to work with our municipal partners and
watershed residents in undertaking the technical work needed to develop source protection plans, and our new
role as a source protection authority working with the proposed source protecfion planning committee. We have
been undertaking the background technical work mandated and funded by the province through memorandum of
agreement since November 2004. Considerable progress has been achieved so far and we are committed to
continue on this important endeavour.
We, however, are concerned that the role of the lead conservation authority as the Source Protection Authority
with responsibilities to make annual reports, to monitor, fo support the formation and ongoing administrative
support for the Source Protection Planning Committee who must prepare assessment reports, source protection
plans, consult with the public and the municipalities and review and update the plan at time periods to be
determined by the ministry, will require sustainable funding. The legislation does not provide the powers nor an
indication as to how this work will be funded. It is essential that the ministry provides the conservation authority
with sufficient funds to carry out these tasks.

1��larch has been declared Youth Science Month in Canada. Across the country over 500,000
elementary and high-school students are preparing to take part in science and technology fairs
that will take place throughout the month.
As part �� that celebration, Sci-�'ec;t �:FP�ric is p�ccla�ming P�'[arch as Youth Science Month in
Ontario for the sixth year in a row to recognize the estimated 170,000 Ontario students who will
participate in local and regiona) science fairs across the province in March and early April
(please see enclosed proclamation). A proportionate number of these 170,000 students attend
the elementary and secondary schools in your municipality.
Sci-Tech Ontario invites you to join the many dignitaries who plan to support Youth Science
Month in their jurisdictions. We have also asked Ontario's Minister of Education, the
Honourable Gerrard Kennedy, to proclaim Youth Science Month in the Ontario Legislature.
This is a wonderful oppo►-tunity to show your support for the innovative young people in your
municipality, many of whom will go on to important careers in research, science and
technology, helping to create jobs, cure diseases, make discoveries and improve our quality of
life.
There are many ways to become involved. You may want to attend the local or regional science
fairs in your district, recognize the dedicated volunteers and innovative students involved in your
region's science fairs with a public ceremony or send an official letter of congratulations to the
top students in your region's fairs, wishing them luck as they proceed to the national fair. You
can also use the enclosed proclamation to serve as a model for your own declaration. Should
you decide to issue a declaration, we would appreciate receiving a copy.
Sci-Tech Ontario is a non-profit organization whose primary focus is to foster and enrich the
participation of Ontario youth in project-based science and research activities. Two of our core
programs are regional science fair support (for 3U regional fairs across the province) and the
provision of curriculum resources on project-based science for Ontario teachers. A
backgrounder on Sci-Tech Ontario and Youth Science Month is also enclosed for your
information.
Please feel free to contact us at: 416-598-8827 or by e-mail at: itrFo�a;�Sci'CechOntariaor�:. A
list showing the Sci-Tech Ontario Representative in your area and the dates of the 30 regional
fairs can be found on our website at: ��w�v.SciTechOntario.or�.

and celebrate participation and excellence in science, technology and innovation by Ontario
youth.
We provide funding, infonnation, co-ordination and advice to the regional science and
technology fair organizations throughout Ontario. We also support the teaching and learning of
science in Ontario elementa�y and secondary schools by conducting teacher worksh�ps and by
creating and distributing curriculum resource material for teachers on the integration of project-
based science into the province's new curriculum.
STO also assembles, pr�motes and supports Team Sci-Tech Ontario (the young scientists who
champion our province at the Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF), administers the Pfizer Canada
Award of Excellence which recognizes an outstanding project in each region, administers five
other province-wide sponsored awards and works with Youth Science Foundation (YSF) to
promote Youth Science Month in March each year.
Sci-Tech Ontario's volunteer Board of Directors consists of educators, parents, scientists and
other interested Ontarians who care about giving chiidren the best opportunities for the future.
Regional Science and Technology Fairs in Ontario
Every year, more than 2�0,000 students in Ontario participate in Project-Based Science with
close to 170,000 competing in local science and technology fairs. The best projects move on to
Ontario's 30 Regional Fairs where 6,000 of Ontario's top young scientists compete. The top
students from these Regional Fairs then represent Ontario at the Canada-Wide Science Fair,
where they compete against students and their projects from across the country.
Regional fairs are organized by non-
profit groups and staffed by dedicated
volunteers who raise funds, judge
projects, run the events and support and
coach th� stsrients. Th�se groups, and
the young scientists who take part in the
fairs, are the beneficiaries of Sci-Tech
Ontario's support.
Youth Science Mont{a is an annual event
to celebrate the 170,000 young scientists
in Ontario taking part in local and
regional fairs during the month of I�larch.
This event is just one part of a national
awareness campaign by Youth Science
Foundation Canada in recognition of the
500,000 students taking pari in fairs
across Canada.

REPORT TO
COUNCIL
Report Number: CS 17-06
Date: March 20, 2006
Notice of Application for a Liquor Licence
"Jukebox Live" — 1211 Kingston Road, Pickering
Recommendation:
That Report CS 17-06 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer and Director,
Planning & Development be received for information.
Executive Summary: At the Executive (Budget) Committee meeting held on
March 14, 2006, staff were requested to provide information with respect to the
re-opening of the business municipally located at 1211 Kingston Road, Pickering, under
the business name of "Jukebox Live", and the corresponding liquor licence application.
Background: The City Clerk received an official notice from the owner, of an
application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission for a liquor licence for the
establishment to be known as "Jukebox Live", municipally located at 1211 Kingston
Road, Pickering (see Attachment #1). The role of the City Clerk is to indicate on the
application if the area where the establishment is to be located is: Wet (spirits, beer,
wine); Damp (beer and wine only); or Dry. As there are no `damp/dry' areas within the
City, the Clerk identified this location as `wet' and forwarded the application to the
Commission.
Further, the application clearly states the following:
"Note: Specific concerns regarding zoning, non-compliance with by-laws or
general objections to the application, by Council or elected municipal
representatives, must be outlined, in a separate submission or letter within
30 days of this notification".
The notification was received on March 2, 2006, therefore, there are 30 days from this
point whereby the City can submit objections. The process that is established within
the City is that upon sign off by the City Clerk, a copy is immediately provided to the
Planning & Development Department which investigates the application to ensure that
zoning and site plan are in compliance. If there are concerns with respect to these

Date: March 20, 2006
Subject: Liquor Licence Application —"Jukebox Live" Page 2 ��
matters, a formal letter on behalf of the City is forwarded to the Alcohol & Gaming
Commission in accordance with the 30 day notification period.
Staff are aware of the previous concerns of this subject property when it operated as a
nightclub business, formerly known as 4PIay and Aqua Lounge. While these
businesses were in operation there were numerous complaints such as: loud noise,
fights and guns being discharged, excessive drinking by the patrons, noise on the
outdoor patio areas and powerful searchlights. A large number of these complaints
were documented within our Customer Care tracking system and significant staff time
was allocated to resolving the complaints.
In the correspondence to the Alcohol & Gaming Commission dated February 23, 2006,
and included as Attachment #2 to this report, Councillors Dickerson and McLean have
indicated their strong opposition to this application, and provided detailed particulars
related to the past business establishments. A further letter sent to residents dated
February 24, 2006 has also been included as Attachment #3 to this report.
It should be noted that the new owner is co-operating with staff with respect to planning
concerns. The Planning & Development Department advises that the property is zoned
to allow a restaurant use with outdoor patio area. Ms. Suzan Selimovska (representing
the new business) preconsulted with the Planning & Development Department in
February 2006 respecting a change in signage for the front face of the building and the
introduction of an entry canopy. Application for sign permits etc. have all been received
by the City in order for the owner to be in compliance with City regulations. It has been
brought to the attention Ms. Selimovska by P&D that the existing outdoor patio design
does not comply with the approved site plan. Previous owner(s) undertook changes to
the patio area that brought the installation out of compliance with the approved
drawings. We understand that Ms. Selimovska intends to rectify this matter by either
bringing the patio into conformity with approved drawings or submitting revised plans for
the City's consideration and approval.
In the event that Council wishes to formally oppose the application, then Council should
pass a resolution to that effect in order to meet the timeline for reporting of April 2,
2006. A sample resolution is noted as follows:
a) That the Council of the City of Pickering strongly object to the liquor licence
application of the establishment known as "Jukebox Live'; municipally located at
1211 Kingston Road, Pickering, unless concerns of the City of Pickering are
clearly addressed; and
b) That the City C/erk notify the Alcohol & Gaming Commission accordingly.
Please note, that Council collectively or individually can provide their written general
objection to the application to the Alcohol & Gaming Commission.

Bill McLean
Regional Councilior, Ward 2
As Pickering Councillors, we would like to strongly oppose the liquor licerrce
application by 2085026 Ontario Inc., operating as the Jukebox Live, for the premises
at 1211 Kingston Road in Pickering.
We have several concerns about this application and would like to make you aware
of some of the history associated with past licensees at this location. Over the past
several years, we have had many complaints from residents living nearby, which I
have documented and will make available to you.
These complaints have included criminal activity such as fights and guns being
discharged. On many occasions, there has been loud noise coming from these
premises, which continued long into the night. As well, residents have complained
about excessive drinking and noise on the outdoor patio and very powerful
searchlights scanning the skies and many instances of unacceptable behavior.
The premises are well known to the Durham Regional Police and the City's bylaw
officers. All of these activities have prevented nearby residents from feeling secure
as well as having been denied the peaceful enjoyment of their homes. All of the
previous owners of this establishment have ignored orders of compliance issued by
the city and were uncooperative in dealing with citizens in resolving their complaints.

1 A Review and Approval of Minutes
- Janua 18, 2006
Minutes were approved.
It was noted that due to the absence of many members, there is
no quorum, therefore any decision will have to be ratified at the
next meetin .
2.0 2006 Meetin Schedule
A proposed 2006 schedule was distributed to committee Members to review
members for review and comments. Members should notify dates and notify Chair
the Chair if there is an conflict with the ro osed dates. of an conflict.
3A Green Vehicle Polic
As requested at the last meeting, the taxicab companies were
to review the options for a Green Vehicle Policy and select one
or submit their own recommendation at the next meeting.
The options previously discussed are:
1) Set target to convert a specific percentage of fleet to
green vehicles
2) Voluntary conversion to green plates
3) Introduction of green "ambassador" plates by City
Page 1
CORP0228-2/02
�J
The difficulty in ensuring compliance with setting targets was
discussed, as with the existence of so many independent
owners, there would be no way to dictate who had to meet the
target.
A voluntary conversion to a green vehicle was feasible,
however, existing plate owners would not want to give up a
"regular" plate to change it to green, as there may be financial
repercussions relating to the value of the plate for future sale.
Mr. Kumar suggested green ambassador plates be assigned to
drivers in the industry who do not own plates, rather than to
brokerages.
It was suggested that green plates must be placed on full size
vehicles only.
It was also suggested that an incentive in the manner of
reduced licensing fees be offered to taxicab plate owners to
convert their vehicles to green vehicles
Concerns expressed that many of the hybrid cars available are
not full size vehicles.
The Chair noted that at the last meeting, the taxicab industry
commented that there are already too many plates issued
based on the population ratio.
The understanding was that each company was to identify the
percentage of vehicles from their fleet to be converted as green
vehicles by a certain date. The City would respect this and an
agreement would be drafted to be included in the revised
bylaw. However, as previously mentioned this would be difficult
to enforce.
Further discussion followed with respect to ambassador plates.
It was suggested that these types of plates should be rented
out to drivers rather than being sold by permit. Some
indicated that they couldn't afford to pay for new plates and the
conversion to green vehicles. The new plates should only be
issued to drivers who have never owned a plate.
The purpose of the Green plates was stated to promote a
commitment to reducing emissions and protecting the
environment.

apprapriate�
Kim Thompson indicated that since no proposal was submitted Staff to draft
and there seems to be a number of outstanding issues and recommendations for
some resistance from the owners to work cooperatively in review at the next
developing one, staff would draft recommendations for review meeting.
at the next meeting. A Request for Proposal (RFP) may be the
best o tion for reen lates.
4.0- First Aid & CPR Trainin Gost
Kim Thompson advised that First Aid & CPR is now a standard
requirement in most municipalities for taxicab operators. The
City will be offering a 2-day course at a cost of $75 per person.
This is a great opportunity since the regular cost ranges from
$105 to $115.
This will be incorporated into the new taxicab by-law as a
requirement for a taxicab driver's license.
The Chair mentioned that there are a lot of changes in the
taxicab industry in the GTA and that we must continue to be
progressive to meet the needs and level of service. This
training is also beneficial for the drivers and their family.
CARRIED PENDING RATIFICATION
5.0 Plate Leasin Presentation
A copy of the City of Mississauga's Plate Leasing regulations
was distributed to committee members for their review. The
City of Pickering is proposing to implement the same policy.
CARRIED PENDING RATIFICATION
6.0 Other Items '
Kim Thompson advised that the next meeting scheduled for
Wednesday, March 22, 2006, would focus on the draft Taxicab
Bylaw that outlines the City's responsibility for administration
and enforcement.
Concerns were raised with regards to the language barrier for
testing for the Durham College Taxicab training course. The
Chair advised that Durham College is working closely with the
industry to eliminate language barriers and that whenever
required a translator could be provided to ensure that they
understand the questions. The same test will be given to all
students, regardless of their language skills.
It was noted that some drivers have language barriers in
communicating with customers. Drivers must be able to
provide service in English.
