CITY OF PICKERING APR 2 0 2007 Dear Mayor/Reeve and Members of Council: CLERK'S DIVISION RE: Bill C-417. the Canadian Soldiers' ;and Peacekeepers' Memorial Wall Act Canada has no national memorial for her Fallen On March 26, 2007 I introduced a Private Member's Bill in the House of Commons that would see the creation of a Memorial Wall for Canada's fallen soldiers and peacekeepers. Since 1885 over 115, 000 people have died in Ithe service of their country. Before 1970, by Canadian law, those heroes were buried in the countries where they died. Their bodies were either lost at sea or are buried in seventy-three countries around the world. The Memorial Wall would be the only national memorial to properly honour all of those who have given their lives in wars and peacekeeping duties. It will allow Canadians and visitors the opportunity to understand the magnitude of the sacrifice that was made to ensure we maintain the rights and freedoms we enjoy today. This concept has been the dream of Ed Forsyth, a Canadian veteran who served in the 4th Armoured Division during World War II. Ed and his son Robert Forsyth have been diligent in their desire to see the creation of this structure. Tlhose who want more details on the Memorial Wall can visit the website at www.memorialwall.ca. I am writing to ask for your support in this initiative. Enclosed is a sample resolution for council's YJ consideration amra petition form to collect signatures in support of this legislation. Please return '7'" fhem as soon as possible along with your comments or suggestions, postage free to: Inky Mark, M.P., House of Commons, Ottawa, ON K1A OA.6. .' It is time we properly recognize our fallen soldiers and peacekeepers.

Inky Mark introduced a Private Member's Bill that would see the creation of a Memorial Wall forCanada's fallen soldiers and peacekeepers. Mark commented, "Since 1885 over 115, 000 people have shown unconditional sacrifice and died in the service of their country. Before 1970, by Canadian law, those who have fallen were buried in the countries where they died. These individuals have either been lost at sea, or are buried in seventy-three countries around the world." "The Memorial Wall would be the only national memorial to properly honour all of those who have given their lives in wars and peacekeeping duties. . It will allow Canadians and visitors the opportunity to understand the magnitude of the sacrifice that was made to ensure we maintain the rights and freedoms we enjoy today." Mark later held a press conference with representatives of the Memorial Wall of Names project and Dominion Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. "We must properly recognize our fallen soldiers and peacekeepers and the sacrifice that they have made. This legislation is another step to ensuring that Canada will never forget their sacrifice," Mark concluded. -30- For more information, please contact: Inky Mark, MP (613) 992-3176 www.inkvmark.com The Memorial Wall of Names Inc. Foundation SUl!Ports Mark's Bill To Build The Memorial Wall of Names ...\4..... C .j Ottawa. March 27.2007 The Need This Memorial Wall of Names will serve as a proper memorial for the next of kin, family and friends who are unable to travel abroad to visit the graves of the Fallen. They will be able to visit and experience the gratefulness of Canada. Before 1970 by Canadian Law our Fallen were buried in the countries where they died. These brave men and women volunteered unconditionally, showed their love for country and made the greatest sacrifice. There are over 116,000 names of our Fallen, to date, which would be included on this Memorial. Since 1885, their bodies have been buried in many seas, in seventy-three countries around the world, in over one hundred CWGC(Commonwealth War Graves Commission) War Cemeteries, and 5,800' church graveyards. There are thousands with no identified graves, with the simple inscription "Known only to God". Mission: The mission of "Memorial Wall of Names Foundation"(84021 6675 RROOOl ) is to suitably recognize and honour Canada's Fallen. Through this gesture we aim to "bring our fallen home" so that their Names will be recognized publicly at home for all time. .Ylili!!!: The vision is to create a memorial that will fulfill our often repeated promise: "We Will Remember Them" we will recognize their Names "Lest we Forget". Hie:hli2hts ofthe Memorial Wall of Names: The Memorial Wall of Names will be the only national memorial to properly honour all of the names of the women, men, military and civilians who laid down their lives for Canada in all of our wars and peacekeeping duties. The Memorial Wall of Names will allow Canadian cItlzens, newcomers and visitors the opportunity to comprehend the magnitude of the sacrifice that is made to protect Canada's rights and freedoms. Action: Please lend your support to Inky Mark, M.P. for Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette in Manitoba for his Bill and this project. Make this memorial a legacy of our generation by spreading the word and encouraging individuals to support this legislation.

BENEFITS TO CANADA 1) Canada needs this memorial for all the benefits of education, heritage, unity and history. 2) This memorial will visually demonstrate the numbers and the magnitude of losses as never before. Reminding us that freedom is not free. 3) This memorial will show the diversity of peoples who sacrifice for our values and freedoms. 4) Canada will be the first nation in the world to create such a comprehensive memorial. 5) Students can be involved in positive education in many areas of participation and tours. 6) Countries that, in part, owe their freedom to our military may be involved. Their new generations will be informed and respectful toward Canada. 7) The memorial will inspire youth to do their best to become good citizens. 8) This memorial will educate new Canadians of the sacrifices made by past generations. NEXT OF KIN 1) Next of kin of those who died before 1970 are not permitted to bring home their remains. In 2004, one of our Unknown was repatriated to Canada and buried in the New Tomb of Canada's Unknown Soldier. 2) All will be able to take photos or rubbings of cherished names from the Memorial Wall. RIGHTS AND JUSTICE 1) Our Fallen deserve this recognition and honouring in their country. - 2) It is only since 1970 that we repatriate our Fallen with full honours and with respect for the next of kin. 3) For each of us to honour our promise "We Will Remember Them." Let us know their Names. RECOGNITION 1) There is no complete collection and recognition of the names of our Fallen in a suitable public place. 2) There are one hundred War Cemeteries of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and hundreds of burials in church graveyards. Over one thousand are buried beneath the waves of many seas. 3) About 20,000 of those buried overseas have "known to God alone" on their grave markers. On the memorial they wiII receive proper recognition. 4) Every Name is not just a word - each represents a child, a brother, a sister, a parent, a son, a daughter- aU who's lives were ended by the violence of war. THE FALLEN 1) What better citizens has a country than those, who in perilous times volunteer to serve, anywhere they may be sent, accepting all challenges and dangers, so to defend our liberties and values. 2) These individuals are those that showed the greatest love for humanity. How young they were, many only youths, never with the chance to marry or be parents. 3) Love for country came early for many of those that served, the ages will prove this. Youth are responsible, long before they are adults. 4) The majority of Canadian citizens have not been able to visit the graves of their loved ones due to distance, cost and even impossible situations. This memorial may at last provide an acceptable substitute. It will show the same data as on the existing grave markers. It will be the place where all can visit and show their respect and love.

Last month, I received a letter from Mr. Ed Forsyth, of Toronto, a veteran of Canada's forces in the Second World War and director of the proposed Memorial Wall of Names project. He asked for my support for this initiative, and requested that I write to you to indicate so. I am happy to do this, and encourage anyone who can assist in the project's development to do so with commitment and vigour. In 2009 - just three years from now -. we will mark the seventieth anniversary of the start of the Second World \iVar. 2009 will also mark the ninety-fifth anniversary of the start of the First VVorld War. Canadian soldiers served with heroism and distinction in those wars, in both previous and subsequent conflicts, in the peacekeeping missions for which our country is justly respected, and still serve us abroad today. It is difficult to find words that do justice to the spirit of these men and women. I hope it is enough to say that what we can do to remember them, we must do. ' I extend my enthusiastic support for this memorial project, and urge you to continue with your leadership in Parliament of the effort to make it a reality. ~ffi , I Peter Munk Copy: E.D Forsyth STRONG COMMUNlrlFS COALITION ALLIANCE c= /\ C O~dlt lk'n (\1' Hum an Sef \'lce:.; In D u rh am, H a Iv,n.

Town of Markham Adds its Voice to Call on Province to Fix Growing Health and Social Services Funding Gap in GT Al90S Town of Markham: The Town of Markham has joined other GTAl905 communities in passing a resolution calling on the Province to immediately provide growth funding for GT Al905 hospitals, health care and social services, to commit to allocating provincial health and social services funding on the basis of population size and growth and to develop a health and social services plan for Ontario's growing communities. "For the Town of Markham to continue to prosper and remain a vibrant and healthy community, we are calling upon the Province to provide our local health and social services with the resources they need to meet the needs of our growing, aging and more culturally diverse residents", said Frank Scarpitti, Mayor of the Town of Markham. "Immediate, adequate and multi-year growth funding for our health and social services is needed now to fix the per capita gaps in provincial funding for these important services in Markham." A 2006 PricewaterhouseCoopers report found a $1.5 billion annual funding gap in provincial funding for GT Al905 residents when compared to other regions in Ontario. The report found that GT A/905 residents face a $551.5 million funding gap in social services, $899 million gap for hospital care and $90 million gap for home care. The gap results from a $181 less in per capita funding for social services and a $246 less per capita gap for health care services for GT Al905 residents compared to the rest of Ontario. In both sectors, the gap in provincial funding between the GT Al905 and the rest of the province is widening. Numerous communities across the GTAl905 regions of Durham, Halton, Peel and York have passed resolutions calling on the Government of Ontario to improve local access to health and social services across the GT Al905 by fixing the growing per capita funding gaps in provincially funded health and social services. As well, the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton Mayors and Chairs Committee have passed three resolutions making similar calls on the Province. "Across York Region, from Vaughan, to Georgina, Richmond Hill and now the Town of Markham, the call for population based funding for health and social services is loud and clear", said Daniele Zanotti, CEO of the United Way of York Region and a member of the Strong Communities Coalition. "Markham, like other GTAl905 communities recognizes that healthy, supportive and prosperous communities need timely and local access to health and social services to meet the needs of the growing numberof residents in their communities." The Strong Communities Coalition is an alliance of the United Ways in Peel, York, Durham and Oakville and the GT Al905 Healthcare Alliance with the support of York Region Human Services Planning Coalition and the Peel Fair Share Task Force. The Coalition's goal is to improve local and timely access to high quality health care and social services in the GTAl905 regions of Durham, Halton, Peel and York. - 30- For information contact: Tariq Asmi: Cell: (416) 948-2033 Office: (416) 205-1331 055 CORR. 27-07 SAMPLE RESOLUTION WHEREAS local and timely access to health care and social services is essential for building strong, prosperous and healthy communities; WHEREAS the City of Pickering, as part of the GTN905, is among the fastest growing communities in Ontario and a key community in the Provincial Growth Plan for Ontario WHEREAS existing Provincial funding for health care and social services fails to take into account the need for additional local health and social services in high growth communities across Ontario such as the Town of Markham and other communities across the GT N905 WHEREAS there is a $1.5 billion gap in provincial funding for health and social services in the City of Pickering and the GT Al905 regions compared to the rest of Ontario and the funding gap has grown over the last several years; WHEREAS Premier McGuinty's position on the federal funding gap for Ontario and the need for a fairer share of federal transfer payments based on population size is the same situation being faced by the City of Pickering and other GT Al905 communities in terms of provincial funding for health and social services; WHEREAS the Federal Government has now acknowledged the need to distribute federal funds Provinces on a per capita basis and the Province of Ontario is now receiving an additional $1 billion from the Federal Government to pay for health and social services in Ontario AND WHEREAS Durham Region residents are now contributing more than $170 million to the Province of Ontario by way of the health care tax; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Pickering ask the Province of Ontario to: 1. Provide immediate growth funding to GT Al905 hospitals and health and social services so they can meet the needs of the growing number of residents in their communities; .., r.:: .... \}00 2. Commit to allocating provincial health and social services funding, including health promotion and disease prevention, to Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN) and Ontario regions on the basis of population size, growth and characteristics, Le.

Report No.: 2007-MOH-17 Date: April 5, 2007 SUBJECT: Regulation of Pesticide Use RECOMMENDATION: That the Health & Social Services Committee recommends to the Regional Council that: a) The resolution of the Council of the Township of South Stormont regarding the regulation of the cosmetic use of pesticides is endorsed; b) The Premier of Ontario, Ministers of the Environment, Health and Long-Term Care and Health Promotion, Durham's MPPs, Acting Chief Medical Officer of Health, and the Council of the Township of South Stormont are so advised; c) This report is received for information; and d) This report is forwarded to Durham's municipalities and the Durham Environmental Advisory Committee for information. REPORT: 1. On October 25, 2006, the Regional Council referred Council Correspondence item 261 back to the Health Department for further information about banning/reducing the cosmetic use of pesticides (Appendix A). In essence, the correspondence from the CAO/Clerk of the Township of South Stormont urges the Government of Ontario to regulate the cosmetic use of pesticides on private property, thus "uploading" this responsibility from lower, single and upper tier municipalities to the Province. 2. As regards the municipal regulation of pesticide use, the Legal Department advises that historically, the legal authority for lower, single and upper tier municipalities to regulate the use of pesticides rested with section 130 of the Municipal Act, 2001. However, Bill 130, the Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act, 2006 repealed section 130. Now the legal authority rests in section 11 of the Municipal Act, 2001 which states: (1) A lower-tier municipality and an upper-tier municipality may provide any service or thing that the municipality considers necessary or desirable for the public, subject to the rule~i set out in subsection (4). 42 Report No.: 2007 -MOH-17 Page No: 2 062 (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. Governance structure of the municipality and its local boards. 2. Accountability and transparency of the municipality and its operations and of its local boards and their operations. 3. Financial management of the municipality and its local boards. 4. Public assets of the municipality acquired' for the purpose of exercising its authority under this or any other Act. 5. Economic, social and environmental well-beina of the municipality. 6. Health, safety and well-beina of persons [Emphasis added). 7. Services and things that the municipality is authorized to provide undersubsecUon(~. 8. Protection of persons and property, including consumer protection. " 3. The Legal Department is not aware of any upper tier municipality that has used such authority to regulate the, use of pesticides. However, some lower- tier and single tier municipalities (e.g., Ottawa, Peterborough and Toronto) have passed such by-laws. For example, Toronto's Pesticide Bylaw (Municipal Code 612) came into effect on April 1, 2004. By-law violation penalties began to apply for commercial pesticide users such as lawn care companies on September 1, 2005. Homeowners and renters will become subject to by-law penalties on September 1, 2007. An "Interim Evaluation Report on Toronto's Pesticide Bylaw" by Toronto's Medical Officer of Health dated February 9, 2007 indicates that 35% fewer Toronto households reported any of use of pesticides on their lawns, as compared to 2003 (Appendix B). The report also indicates that an estimated 125 municipalities in six provinces have pesticide by-laws. In Toronto, the by-law is enforced by Public Health Inspectors with specialized training and certification in Integrated Pest Management from the Ontario Integrated Pest Management/Plant Health Care Council. Since 2004, Public Health Inspectors have responded to over 3,000 complaints of possible by-law violations. Appendix C is a summary on pesticides by-laws and pesticide reduction programs prepared by Environmental Health staff. 4. Several Durham municipalities have adopted the principles of "Integrated Pest Management" and/or "Integrated Plant Health Care Programs" aimed at reducing the use of pesticides on municipally-owned properties. In addition, others such as the Cities of Oshawa and Pickering are exploring the regulation of the cosmetic use of pesticides on both City-owned and private properties (Appendix D). 5. In Durham Region, the Rapid Risk Factor Surveillance System (RRFSS) has been used to collect local data on the use of pesticides and support for by- laws. The most recent data was collected from 2001 to 2003; however, further 43 Report No.: 2007-MOH-17 Page No: 3 data will be collected in the spring of 2007. The RRFSS data can be summarized as follows: · 13% of Durham Region households had no lawn or garden; · 66% had a lawn or garden which they cared for themselves; · 20% hired a lawn care company; · 48% of households applied pesticides themselves; · 74% of households that hired a lawn care company had the company apply pesticides on their behalf; and · Overall, 62% of households with a lawn, garden or hard surface used pesticides in 2003 (Appendix E). 063 6. Currently, the Health Department provides information to Durham municipalities and the community on health issues related to the use of pesticides, integrated pest management and supporting strategies aimed at reducing pesticide use. For example, it has published and distributed throughout the community a pamphlet entitled, "Reducing Pesticides: A Guide to Healthy Lawns & Gardens" (Appendix F). The pamphlet and other information on pesticides can be found on Region's .Health portal (health.region.durham.on.ca) under Environmental Health Hazards. 7. Options that the Regional Council may pursue respecting the reduction/regulation of the use pesticides in Durham Region include: a) Continuing to promote various pest control strategies aimed at reducing pesticide use to the community, municipalities, retail outlets, school boards and other stakeholders; b) Continuing to work with Durham. municipalities on consistent approaches to reduced pesticide use including elimination of pesticides on municipally-owned properties; c) Supporting local municipal activities or initiatives related to development of by-laws regulating the use of pesticides including providing them with credible and relevant health information; and d) Exploring the development of a Regional by-law in consultation with Durham's municipalities.

David Ryan, Mayor Debi Bentley, City Clerk PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT nn~ C''::;U MEMORANDUM May 15, 2007 To: Debi Bentley City Clerk From: Denise Bye Supervisor, Property & Development Services Subject: Part Lot Control By-law Part of Blocks 7 and 13, Plan 40M-1599, Pickering designated as Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, Plan 40R-23482 File: PLCAOM-1599.3 The above-mentioned lands have been developed in accordance with the appropriate Zoning By-law in such a manner to allow the construction of a pair of semi-detached dwelling units thereon. On May 2, 2005, the City enacted By-law 6513/05 exempting the subject lands from the part lot control provisions of the Planning Act, thus permitting the transfer of the dwelling units into separate ownership. That By-law expired May 2, 2006. We have recently received a call from the law firm of Sherman Brown indicating that at the time our Part Lot Control By-law was in effect, the Transfers into separate ownership were registered with inaccurate legal descriptions. Consequently, at this time, title to the subject lands, as recorded by the Land Registry Office, is incorrect and not in compliance with the Planning Act. In an effort to resolve the title situation, we have been requested to enact another Part Lot Control By-law, which By-law will stay in effect until such time as the solicitors for each of the owners can re-register Transfers showing accurate ownership. Attached is a location map and a draft By-law for the consideration of City Council at its meeting scheduled for Mav 22.2007. &.~v Denise By DB:bg J:\Oocuments\Prop & Oev\PLC\sec\40M~1599\memos\debi may07.doc Attachments Copy: Director, Planning & Development n~7 ~ r==~'J\ I H t== === ~f- ~ ( - ~I- ~ ~:::s Rfr= === ~~-:= =~ a~ '-- >1--- __ f- _0 Ul_ a:: '--- P - a:: _ 0- I---- r f- -CD - - I f-- - - _ - I---- I- f- ~ >--- - - I-::JL- - >--- ~ ~~/!CRESC~ ~ ~~ ~t: ~ ->--- f--_ \11-:-~.~- ~ _ I-- _ ::::::: -.J - :<:==~\\ l= ~ -e:::.;:::::: ~ ~ -0-""""': I- --;;; - ~ -....::::::r RATHMORE I-- 'l~7 ~ t:--r=--:: ~"\ f---.-~ g H~~ II II c~x..c;FJ~ ~~LO"r~ ~ ~ - :<: I- ;><r'" -. ft j. .\,==. ~:== ~ CULROSS AVENU~ ./" ~ r;;:;:; c:::: 0; CRESCENT t= ~ II I I \-::\ "!\o~./" I , ':!! !lm 11 TIc 1'0\ \~co~PttI' - S'O'!-'!-\"~ I/V /. ~f'.... == z r-r:r w --J /V/ V ~t::::: w I I - ~ I \ \ z~ V _w ~ '/~ == ~ :s \ V ::J 0 -..J ,./ ../1 -z ~ - 0 V '/. ~ ~~~ ~diID \'::=: QiX(~)7", i/o~O v >- wITDII7 I ~ l-: I ) ~ 5 ~ CRES.

Hi hwa Stud Graham Martin introduced John Hughes who provided an overview of the Highway 407 (Seaton) Economic Development Study. The study was undertaken by a multi-disciplinary consulting team and consisted of extensive stakeholder consultations as well as steering committee meetings and issue-specific meetings. The study concludes that the Seaton lands will be a prime development and employment area over the next decades for the GT A East market. . At the moment the GT A West dominates the employment land market. Durham represents approximately 5-to1 0% of the total Page 1 CORP0228-2/02 market. The study team conducted a SWOT assessment (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) and concluded that the opportunity exists to attract various employment uses to the area such as high-value manufacturing & assembly; research and development; major office and some warehousing in major economic sectors. A proposed land. use concept for Seaton was presented. Key features of the concept were discussed under four headings: the Natural Heritage System, Transportation Infrastructure, Land Use and Flexibility. The lotting configuration will influence the type of businesses and employment targets. The proposed concept could generate 16,700 to 20,000 jobs (within the employment corridor) with another 15,000 jobs from population related employment (within the remainder of Seaton). Servicing, transportation and market factors will affect the timing and phasing of development. A Central-West starting point for development is favoured. Phasing & Land Disposal Strategy Obtain a commitment from the province to construct major water & sewer services to employment lands Sell large blocks to developers and end users. Marketing Strategy Focus on attracting lead user to build market profile Consider use of marketing incentives Other implementation issues - Sustainability - Urban design and built form guidelines - Official plan and zoning Discussion Period Some concerns were expressed about the parcel lotting and that having too many small parcels could limit attracting major industrial companies. The consultants advised that some smaller sites could be combined to offer one bigger site. The conceptual lotting plan is an example of what could be developed. Studies show that the average development would likely be in the range of 2-3 acres. The study provides a development concept based on market trends. Final decisions on lotting would be made at a later date. Ma or R an stated that we must ensure our vision for Seaton is CORP0228-2/02 Page 2 marketed properly. At first glance, the lotting concept appears to provide development opportunities that would only attract small companies. We need to make sure the lands are planned and marketed appropriately. The consultants noted that the proposed land use concept is based on their findings with respect to the market place in this area. Individual parcels and lots can be amalgamated. The study is based on the types of development typical along 400 series highways. It was noted that build out of these lands could take up to 20 years based on market and demand. Councillor Dickerson suggested that mixed-use type development should be planned around transit and interchanges to attract smaller businesses thereby creating more jobs and providing services to commuters. The most desirable parcels for manufacturing companies would be sites with frontage on Highway 407 and Highway 7, or near interchanges. A question was raised as to whether the province is committed to servicing the employment lands at the outset of development. Graham Martin advised that this is the subject of ongoing discussions at ORC and that no decisions have been made yet. He further noted that they are fully aware of the demands and desire for earlier servicing of the employment lands. The airport issue was raised. The Chair stated that Pickering Council has recently passed a resolution confirming its opposition to an airport in Pickering Councillor Littley recommended that we look at new ideas and alternatives in industrial building designs to ensure they are sustainable. The consultants advised that there would be costs associated with sustainable construction and too high a standard at this time could be a deterrent for some industries. Incentives may be required to entice sustainable design and attract businesses. There were some enquires about providing railway access for freight and transit to the area. CN/CP would need to be involved in future discussions. Bruce Fisher commented that the meeting was very positive. He indicated that the location and construction of the interchanges needs to be confirmed as this will be a major factor in attracting employers. Page 3 CORP0228-2/02 The Chair thanked John Hughes and the consultants for their very informative and detailed presentation. 2. Graham Martin expressed his thanks to John Hughes and to the Chair of the Committee for invitin him and his staff to the meetin Master .EnvironmentalServicin Plan MESP) Tom advised that Sernas has been hired to undertake the MESP. They are in the final stages of drafting the terms of reference. Bob Starr and Grant McGregor will be the city representatives on this stud with Holborn as the alternate contact.

Welcome & Introductions Councillor O'Connell welcomed everyone to the meeting. 2. Dele ations a) Professor Wells, University of Toronto Masters Proqram Study on Frenchman's Bav Professor Wells from the University of Toronto, Scarborough Campus made a presentation with respect to the study which will be conducted during the summer months of July and August in Frenchman's Bay. He indicated the study will be conducted by a graduate student at the University. He went over the criteria for the stud : Page 1 CORP0228-2/02 . Water exchange between Frenchman's Bay and Lake Ontario . How the water levels fluctuate, measurements of currents . How far into the Bay the inflow of water from Lake Ontario will travel . Instruments used to measure the depth, fluctuations in temperature and currents will be submerged in Frenchman's Bay, with one outside the Bay for the two months in summer . Funding for this is provided by the National Science and Engineering Council . Professor Wells indicated that the present assumption is that most of the sediment is coming from Lake Ontario. A question and answer period ensued. Questions arose regarding: . Impact on habitat . Up-welling, warm, cold water being drawn up . Soil entering the Bay . Depth and width of channel, and whether this is limiting the fluctuation of water in and out of the Bay Professor Wells indicated he hopes to come back at the end of summer to update the Committee with results of this study. He indicated the study would mostly be a collection of field data at this point. Councillor O'Connell requested that he provide the Committee with copies of the study at that time. Professor Wells to provide copies of study in the Fall Alan May, Commodore, Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club, stated that he would provide storage for the Zodiac that will be used in this study at the Yacht Club. b) Rob Bishop, Project Manager Marshall, Macklin Monaqhan Richard Holborn, Division Head, Municipal Property & Engineering, introduced Rob Bishop, a representative from Marshall, Macklin Monaghan to give an updat1e with respect to the Status Report on Frenchman's Bay Watershed Study.

He handed out copies of the Executive Summary of the Stormwater Manaflement Master Plan for Frenchman's Ba ' . Page 2 CORP0228-2/02 He indicated they were following the Class Environmental Assessment process and indicated their inventory of existing conditions. Generally it was found that the water quality is very poor, with some local flooding issues and erosion problems that could impact habitats. He talked about various processes for solutions, what could be done to improve, and the preliminary cost estimates. Salt on Hwy 401 was a large contributor to the water quality in Frenchman's Bay. Discussion ensued on funding issues. David Steele indicated that we should not be restricted by City funds, but should be looking to the Federal and Provincial levels of government for funding. A question and answer period ensued. The four main projects were indicated: . Stormwater Master Plan . Harbour Entrance . Waterfront Trail & signage . Outreach, educational awareness. Craig Bamford noted that it had been the understanding from 2005 that all phases would be proceeding together, with one plan and one EA study. Councillor O'Connell explained the financial restraints involved now, as well as the various City departments involvement, and why the one plan approach would not be feasible. 3. Ap roval of Minutes Minutes of the March 8, 2007 meeting Moved by Jim Dike, Seconded by David Steele Carried 4. Workplan Councillor O'Connell opened this up for discussion. She indicated that we have new initiatives coming up this year, and that the workplan would be ongoing.

The estimated value of this project is approximately $800,000 with a possible 50/50 split with the City of Toronto. Councillor O'Connell noted the benefits to the City of Toronto, being that the City of Pickering would take over the responsibility of the area. It was noted that actual costs were not known at this time. Steve Holt asked if these plans were available on PDF. Doris to provide Councillor O'Connell stated she was looking for input from the Committee on this project, as negotiations with the City of Toronto were ongoing.

Larry Field, TRCA pointed out that this project has all the required approvals in place at this point. b) Compensation - Hvdro Spill Doris Chee briefly went over the hydro spill from 2005. She indicated that the City had received just over $36,000.00 which basically covered the cost of labour and materials for clean up Page 4 CORP0228-2/02 c) Frenchman's Bav Festival Jim Dike questioned the City's involvement with the Frenchman's Bay Festival. Councillor O'Connell stated that the City would not be involved with this festival in 2007, but indicated that the community could certainly organize an event.
