IN- CAMERA: c) Councillor Coutanche, re: Property Matter. Deputation SrL , i? C J I appreciate the opportunity given to address the council this evening. I also a�x C', appreciate that you have been out to see our property enabling you to more clearly understand what we are trying to achieve and why we are here tonight. We have owned this property for literally over 100 years. My father, who is 91, planted the trees in our forest when he was 7 years old, with his father. We have maintained this property for the duration of this time right down to, and including, the lake. We have discussed this issue of the Lakeshore promenade for some time with Jennifer, and have tried our very best to co- operate in spite of the emotional issues that arise for us. We came to the understanding that the promenade needed to be closed off to vehicular traffic with use of the bollards. We also understand that Mr. Guardhouse's property is landlocked and that he requires access to his property and has been driving down the promenade, as have others before him, including my aunt, who originally owned the property there when my grandfather subdivided what he owned amongst his children many years ago. What was discussed with Jennifer, during several meetings that we attended on site, was that a driveway would go in just above the promenade, allowing Barry access to his property with a tree allowance dividing the driveway from the promenade. Then the property North of the driveway may be deeded to us and the water front leased to us by the municipality. It is now our understanding that the township doesn't want to deed the Northern part above the driveway to us. This property has always looked like private property, we have maintained it always, we have a pumphouse which brings us our water that was approved by the township many moons ago and we have always had water rights secured by my grandfather a very long time ago. Putting in the driveway for Barry has brought forth a great many concerns but we have attempted to co- operate. It will change our quality of life. Now we will have not one, but two paths going through the grown forested part of the property. I know that the promenade is meant for walking, however, bollards are there to be removed in the event that there is a necessity for vehicles. We mentioned to Jennifer also our concern that cars may be parked along the driveway to Barry's property through our forest. She assured us that this would not happen. We are expecting our 5th grandchild and have little children and older children who run down to the lake through the forest, not to mention our pets. There have been a few near misses with people driving down the promenade now. With two paths that the kids will have to cross, one now further up that none of us are familiar with, the danger increases and the liability issues are huge. I know you may think that if you deed us the Northern portion that others will want the same. Our situation is an exception to all the others. No -one else has a driveway running through their property, just us. No others will have two paths instead of one. We want desperately to secure the Northern portion for our family, and try to protect our quality of life at wonderful Lake Simcoc. This is a grown forest that we have maintained with a pump house that we have used for years. I ask that you please meet us half way and consider transferring this Northern portion to us. We are the ones that will be affected forever; we live there, love it there and would like to maintain our present quality of life as best we can. We so much appreciate your consideration in this matter that deeply affects us. It would be wonderful to finally bring it to as positive an end as possible.

I note that you have sent a copy of your township's resolution to my colleague the Honourable Laurel Broten, Minister of the Environment. I trust that the minister will also take your views into consideration. Mayor Hughes, thank you again for the information. Please accept my best wishes. Yours truly, 044t.7 M" f Dalton McGuinty Premier c: The Honourable Laurel Broten March 9, 2007 The Honourable Dalton McGuinty Premier of Ontario Queen's Park, Room 281 Main Legislative Building Toronto, ON M7A 1 Al Dear Premier McGuinty: The Township of Oro - Medonte is a member of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA). The NVCA has solicited the Township's support of the Conservation's concerns with respect to the role of Conservation Authorities as laid down by the Clean Water Act and pending regulations, as proposed in a discussion paper, released by the Ministry of the Environment. The NVCA will be designated as an "Authority" but will have little, if anything, to do with the production of a source protection plan. They will also be required to enter into Agreements that the Province can amend and will be required to provide staff and technical assistance with no mention of funding. The NVCA will not be included to sit on the Source Protection Committee even though they are the body with the most knowledge of the area's water issues. In addition, NVCA staff that have been involved in the preparation of any material will be working for another body (the Source Protection Committee). This will be difficult for the NVCA Board to have the benefit of providing completely objective opinions. The Township of Oro - Medonte, with NVCA, holds the development of plans to protect drinking water in the highest regard. Accordingly, the Township of Oro - Medonte has passed a resolution (attached) in support of the NVCA's concerns and respectfully request your favourable consideration to the Authority's opinion. Yours truly, f i H.S. Hughes f Mayor lit cc: Hon. Laurel Broten, Minister of the Environment Garfield Dunlop MPP, Simcoe North Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority Members of Council t Motion No. C070228 -12 Moved by Agnew, Seconded by Crawford Be it resolved that the correspondence dated January 31, 2007 from Fred Nix, Chair, Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority re: Clean Water Act and Role of Conservation Authorities be received; that Council of the Township of Oro - Medonte supports the concerns raised in the January 31, 2007 correspondence from Fred Nix, Chair, Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority re: Clean Water Act and Role of Conservation Authorities; and that the Ministry of the Environment and Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority be notified of Council's decision.

Report No. To: Prepared By: ADM 2007 -009 Council Jennifer Zieleniewski, CAO Subject: Department: Council Lakeshore Promenade at Administration Blackman Boulevard Date: C. of W. April 11, 2007 R.M. File #: Motion # Date: Roll #: BACKGROUND: Since the amalgamation of the Township of Oro - Medonte Council has deliberated on many occasions with respect to encroachments on municipal property. Encroachments were to be dealt with as they were identified per Township policy. In terms of the Lakeshore Promenade, Plan 626, Council established a strategy to delineate the Township property to ensure safe public access and to enter into encroachment agreements with the abutting property owners. To date the Lakeshore Promenade has been surveyed and the Promenade has been marked to delineate property boundaries and encroachments. The municipal land known as the Lakeshore Promenade located on Plan 626 was identified with a number of various encroachments from sheds, septic field systems, wells, pump houses, boathouses, docks, decks, steps, electrical lines, fire pits, fence, stone walls, machinery, lawn furniture and in one circumstances a portion of a residential dwelling. By -law No. 2004 -119, being a By -law to Prohibit the Use of Motorized Vehicles on Highways within the Township of Oro - Medonte was ratified by Council to restrict the use of motorized vehicles on portion of the Lakeshore Promenade outlined on Schedule "A" to By -law No. 2004 -119 (Attachment #1). Bollards have been placed in key areas of the Promenade to ensure the restriction of vehicular traffic. A 1 t {� Subsequently, in September of 2006 Council authorized that the road allowance known as the Lakeshore Promenade, Plan 626 be closed to vehicular traffic from a point 19 meters from the easterly boundary of Lot 24/25, Plan 626 to the extreme westerly boundary of the Promenade. The 2007 budget includes upgrades to Blackman Boulevard to improve road drainage and public accessibility to the water. Council has also provided approval to relocate the bollards, currently located at the Simcoe Side Park, to a point 19 meters from the easterly boundary of Lot 24/25, Plan 626. Council has established the parameters for an encroachment agreement and has provided direction to staff to proceed with a consistent approach on the municipal lands known as the Lakeshore Promenade, Plan 626. Lots 27 & 28 of Plan 626 have encroachments on and abutting the travel portion of the road allowance. Lot 28 of Plan 626 has access from Blackman Boulevard. This report offers an alternative to closing the portion abutting Lots 27 and 28 of Plan 626 to vehicular traffic to permit the Township to enter into an encroachment agreement with the owners of these properties. This alternative would also ensure a consistent approach to the encroachments on the Lakeshore Promenade, Plan 626. ANALYSIS: After many site visits and discussions with the two home owners, the Road Superintendent, the Clerk and the Township legal counsel it was determined that an R -plan could be commissioned for the portion abutting Lots 27 & 28 to realign the traveled portion of the road allowance. During a site meeting with the Road Superintendent trees were marked for the purposes of realigning the traveled portion of the road allowance and to allow for road access to Lot 28. This would allow for the Township to prohibit the use of motorized vehicles on a portion of the traveled road allowance in particular the most southerly part of the Lakeshore Promenade and permit the Township to enter into an encroachment agreement with both property owners. A sketch of the proposed area is attached (Attachment #2). Therefore it is recommended that Council give favourable consideration to commissioning and registering an R -Plan for the portion of the Lakeshore Promenade, Plan 626 abutting Lots 27 & 28. That the owners of Lots 27 & 28, Plan 626 enter into encroachment/lease agreements with the Township, and that the landowners recognize that no further construction on Township property is allowed unless expressly authorized by the Township. And that the Clerk bring forward a by -law to prohibit the use of motorized vehicles on a portion of the Lakeshore Promenade, Plan 626 abutting Lots 27 & 28. Wa RECOMMENDATIONS 1. THAT Report No. ADM 2007 -009 be received and adopted. 2. THAT Council commission and register an R -Plan for the portion of the Lakeshore Promenade, Plan 626 abutting Lots 27 & 28. 3. THAT the owners of Lots 27 & 28, Plan 626 enter into encroach ment/lease agreements with the Township, and that the landowners recognize that no further construction on Township property is allowed unless expressly authorized by the Township. 4. AND THAT the Clerk bring forward a by -law to prohibit the use of motorized vehicles on a portion of the Lakeshore Promenade, Plan 626 abutting Lots 27 & 28.

Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By: BP 2007- 011 Council Adam Kozlowski, B.URPL Planner Subject: Department: Council Building & Planning Zoning By -law Amendment Services Date: C. of W. Michael Bridge (Sparky's Fries) Aril 11, 2007 Motion # Pt. Lots 66, 67, 100 R.M. File #: D14 35876 Plan 309 (Medonte) Application # 2006- ZBA -15 9850 Highway 12 Date: Warminster Foll #: 020 - 004 -16400 BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to consider a proposed Zoning By -law Amendment Application submitted by Michael Bridge on November 24, 2006. This rezoning application has been submitted for the purpose of operating a "Chip Stand" refreshment vehicle operation at the above -noted location. The applicant was advised by the Clerk's Department that in accordance with By -law 2003 -032 (being a By -law to "License and to Regulate Refreshment Vehicles', the following section would apply: 5.12 Refreshment vehicles licensed under this By -law shall be permitted to operate on commercially zoned private property It is understood that the chip stand was constructed in the fall of 2006, however has not been open for business pending the receipt of the required business license. The rezoning application was circulated to the Township Building, Engineering, and Public Works departments on December 22, 2006. No concerns were noted, and in particular, the Building Department determined through a site inspection that a building permit was not needed for the chip stand. The MTO has submitted comments indicating no objection in principal to the rezoning of the property from Residential to Commercial. Further, the MTO would consider issuing a commercial access to the existing property if the applicant can meet specific criteria, including but not limited to: • Design and construction of an entrance, including materials used, culvert size, turning radii and the location of the entrance in relation to the property boundaries to the satisfaction of the MTO; • Provision for adequate "turnaround" and vehicle parking space; • Approval of an MTO building permit(s) for structures located within 45 metres of the Highway 12 right -of -way; • Approval of an MTO entrance permit; • Compliance with 14 metre building setback from MTO highway property limit. Since mid - February, the applicant has been in contact with the MTO with the intent of working toward fulfilling the criteria listed above. OFFICIAL PLAN The land subject to the rezoning are located within the Warminster Settlement Area, and is designated Rural Settlement Area by the Official Plan. Section D4 of the Official Plan contains policies with respect to development within rural settlements such as Warminster. Specifically, Section D4.2 lists permitted uses within such settlements, including "low density residential uses, small scale commercial uses that serve the needs of the settlement area and the surrounding rural area, [and] small scale industrial development..." The subject property contains a single detached dwelling and detached accessory structure. The application to rezone the property to permit the operation of a refreshment vehicle would appear to be generally in keeping with the intent of Section D4 of the Official Plan as a small scale commercial use. ZONING BY -LAW The Zoning By -law Amendment Application will rezone the subject property from the Residential One (R1) Zone to a site- specific Local Commercial (LC) Zone to permit the operation of a refreshment vehicle as an accessory use to the main single detached dwelling use. This zoning exception is necessary for the applicant to obtain both the Township Business License for the refreshment vehicle, and to meet with MTO requirements for a commercial entrance permit to provide access to same. 2 s kv-,T The proposed Zoning Amendment Application to rezone the subject property from Residential One (R1) Zone to a site- specific Local Commercial (LC) Zone is necessary for the applicant to operate a refreshment vehicle. As discussed, the proposal would be in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan, and rezoning to Local Commercial Exception would not cause conflict with the permitted and /or existing uses proposed for the subject property. It should also be noted that the applicant will be required to enter into a site plan agreement as part of approval for the operation of the refreshment vehicle, where the agreement will ensure that such issues as parking and building setbacks are addressed. At this time, it is therefore recommended that the application proceed to Public Meeting. RECOMMENDATI It is recommended: 1. THAT Report BP 2007 -011 Re: Zoning By -law Amendment for Michael Bridge, Pt. Lots 66, 67, 100, Plan 309 ( Medonte), Township of Oro - Medonte, be received. 2.

Report No. To: Prepared By: BP 2007- 012 Council Glenn White, MCIP, RPP Senior Planner Subject: Department: Council Building & Planning Zoning By -law Amendment Services Date: C. of W. for Lester & Rosetta Parry Part W '/z Lot 8 April 2, 2007 Motion # Concession 3 (Oro) R.M. File #: D14 35743 2072 Line 3 North Application # 2006- ZBA -14 Date: Roll #: 010 - 002 -04101 BACKGROUND: ■_ The purpose of this report is to consider the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment application submitted by Lester & Rosetta Parry on November 1, 2006. This rezoning application has been submitted to fulfill a condition of approval for Consent Application 2006 -B -14, which was granted by the Committee of Adjustment on July 13, 2006. The rezoning application applies to lands described as 2072 Line 3 North, being Part of the West Y2 of Lot 8, Concession 3, in the Township of Oro - Medonte (formerly Oro). The subject land is proposed to be rezoned from the Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone to the Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone. Consent Application 2006 -B -14 resulted in a small portion of agricultural land being added to the abutting rural residential land, being 2105 Line 2 North (see attached schedule). As part of provisional approval, the applicant must apply for and obtain a rezoning, which will create a consistent rural residential zone for the newly - enlarged rural residential parcel. The Public Meeting for this application, as required by the Planning Act, was held on February 14, 2007. The Planning Department did not receive any correspondence which had concerns with the application. Two residences spoke at the Public Meeting and one was of the understanding that a new building lot was to be created by the Consent Application 2006 -B -14. Staff clarified that Consent Application 2006- 6-14 would enhance an existing building lot and not create a new building lot. OFFICIAL PLAN: The subject property is designated Agricultural by the Official Plan. The parcel to which the subject lands are being added to are also designated Agricultural. The Official Plan recognizes boundary adjustments provided no new building lot is created and the boundary adjustment will not affect the viability of the agricultural parcels affected. The property to be enhanced is currently vacant. The parcel to be conveyed as a result of Consent Application 2006 -B -14 totals 0.73 hectares — as such, this application does not propose to remove significant agricultural land from production, and will not reduce the agricultural resource base or adversely affect the viability of the retained agricultural parcel. Therefore, this application generally complies with the objectives of the Township Official Plan. ZONING BY -LAW: As a result of this consent, the retained lands will have a frontage of 400 metres (1312 feet), a depth of 1215 metres (4000 feet), and an area of 58.5 hectares (144.54 acres). The required minimum frontage for a lot in the Agricultural /Rural Zone is 45 metres. The lot to be enhanced, 2105 Line 2 N. will increase in area from 0.27 hectares (0.66 acres) to 1.0 hectare (2.47 acres), and the frontage will increase from 45 metres (147 feet) to 100 metres (328 feet). The minimum lot area for lots in the Rural Residential Two Zone is 0.4 hectares (0.98 acres) and the minimum lot frontage requirement is 45m. On this basis, the enhanced and retained lands comply with the requirements of the RUR2 Zone. ANALYSIS: The subject land is currently designated Agricultural in the Official Plan and is zoned Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone and Environmental Protection (EP) Zone in the Township's Zoning By -law. The applicant was recently granted consent to convey a portion of the subject property to the lands located at 2105 Line 2 N., and is now applying to re -zone the lands from the Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone to the Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone. The Consent Application was approved by the Committee of Adjustment on July 13, 2006, (Application 2006- B -14), and as part of the Committee's provisional approval, the applicant must apply for and obtain a rezoning for the conveyed lands to maintain the consistency of the zoning fabric in the area. The application has been circulated to all internal departments, and no concerns have been indicated. As the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment does not propose to remove significant agricultural lands from production, the rezoning would appear to conform to the intent and policies of the Official Plan. The consent will result in the creation of an enhanced lot with a resulting lot size of 1.0ha. The lands will be added to lands which are already zoned Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone. As noted above, the resulting lot size and lot frontage meets and exceeds the minimum lot standards for a lot zoned Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone. The intended use of the lands is for residential purposes and not for agricultural purposes. The size, shape and use of the enhanced lot are more consistent with a Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone than with the Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone. The resulting lot is similar in size, shape and use as lots to the north and south of the lands. The resulting lot as approved by Consent Application 2006 -B -14 is consistent with policies of Official Plan and is consistent with the zone standards of a RUR2 Zone in terms of use and size. The proposed residential use complies with Zoning By -law 97 -95 and the residential use also conforms to the policies of the Agricultural designation of the Official Plan. It is noted that the subject lands will be added to lands which are already zoned Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone. Zoning Application 2006 - ZBA -14 will facilitate lands of the same residential zone, (RUR2 Zone) being added together which will maintain consistent zoning for the whole of the property. Planning Staff supports the proposed rezoning of the lands from A/RU Zone to RUR2 Zone. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended: 1. THAT Report BP 2007 -012 be received and adopted; and 2. That Zoning By -law Amendment Application (2006 - ZBA -14) for Lester and Rosetta Parry, that would rezone the lands described as Part of the W '/z Lot 8, Concession 3, (Oro) on Schedule Al2 of Zoning By -law 97 -95, as amended from Agricultural /Rural (A/RU) Zone to Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone be approved; and 3. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By -law for Council's consideration.

Our land consists of 10.127 acres, (4.100 hectares) of land and the dimensions are 443 feet, (135.06 meters) frontage, by 990 feet (301.751 meters) depth, and 440 feet (134.112 meters) across back of property. When we purchased the property, and when our survey was done, we were informed that there was some EP zoning in the Southeast back corner of the property, where you can visually see that the property is Lower, The balance of the property is high and dry and sloping down toward the property to the south. The gentleman we saw in the Planning Department gave us a map showing an aerial view of our property. It shows our house and our pond. It also shows the topographical lines showing that it is high, hilly and sloping toward the lake. It appears that the person interpreting the aerial view, when seeing the pond assumed that it was a natural pond and ignored the topographical lines. HOWEVER, WHEN WE WERE BUILDING THE HOUSE, WE HAD THE POND DUG. There was a slight hilly ridge there which we called "groundhog hill" as there were groundhog holes all through it. We had a high hoe here for over a month drawing fill from there and below in order to a) put fill around the house, and b) dig a pond. When we bought the property, which had been a ten acre farm there was an older farm house and the foundation of an old barn. We had the house removed and build our new house behind where it had been. We had a large garden area behind the house up to the hardwood bush, and later planted 1500 evergreen trees there in order to have less grass to cut. We respectfully submit the enclosed drawing prepared carefully by us after careful measuring showing a maximized area that we could agree to having EP Zoning. The Actual area would be more like half of that size. We just drew a straight line from where the wet part started at the rear of the property.

Oro - Medonte, Ontario Dear Mr. Hughes and Council Members: I am addressing this letter to you regarding our concerns that have yet to be fully addressed. These include water run -off, driveway location, and removal of our front survey stake. The following correspondence clearly notes the numerous attempts for a response to issues affecting our residence at 90 Lakeshore Road W. in relation to the new home built on the adjacent property at 92 Lakeshore Road W. (Photo A) • Between December /04 and May 16/05, a three meter minor variance requested by the new home builders was denied by Ontario Municipal Board. We also opposed the variance, but addressed our concerns about water run -off to Mr. Colby at the original Notice of Hearing, dated December 02 /04. The existing elevations of adjacent properties and proximity of each residence were clearly concerns before construction. (Photo B) • May 19/06- We discussed the same concerns with Mr. Diver at the Municipal Office. • May 28/06 —A letter confirming our conversation with Mr. Diver was sent to each: the Mayor, Council, the Director of Building & Planning Services and Jerry Ball, Public Works Superintendent. • June 22/06- A letter from Marilyn Pennycook confirmed that my letter dated May 28/06 had been referred to staff for response. • August 8/06 - Due to a lack of response, we filed a request for information to the Freedom of Information Office. • September 8/06 — A response from Mr. Irwin from the Oro -Medonte Township Office, stated that there would be swales installed leading to the ditch on Lakeshore Road. March 20/07- To date, in spite of all of the noted correspondence, nothing has been done to divert water from our property and I am asking for clarification regarding the following issues: Please find enclosed photos that clearly depict our concerns 12 Water run off 1. A sump pump hose directed onto our property constantly drains water. (Photo C) Clearly, the direction of water flow to our property does not change even when the ground is frozen (Photo D). 2. A large mound of debris hiding the septic bed clearly shows the height to which the rear yard will be elevated, as this only is a 50' lot. (Photo E) Driveway location 1. The original driveway abuts our property. A new driveway was installed and now both new and old are used for parking. Subsequently, not parking three meters from the property line set to the building code standards of Oro- Medonte. 2. The new driveway has been raised at least two feet at the garage creating a downward slope to our property This along with boulders and debris blocking any runoff leading to the ditch on Lakeshore Road, directs water onto our property,(Photo C) Removal of Survey Stake 1. Our front survey stake has been removed to install hydro wires for 92 Lakeshore Road W. (Photo F) In 1992, at a cost of $18,000.00, a major renovation was done on the west side of our home due to a rotting foundation. For structural reasons, the ground on this side could not be excavated and the house is now sitting on a 6 "x 6" wooden frame. In addition, a crawl space vinyl- covered stone was dug out for ventilation. Our eaves both front and back, were tunneled directly to the ditch to alleviate excess water around the foundation. (Photo G) Our property cannot give way to the excessive amount of water that has been directed from our neighbor's land without irreversible damage to our residence. It is absolutely necessary that some type of drainage be installed immediately. 1. At what height will this property be raised after final grading? 2. Where will the swales be located and how deep? 3. Will these swales successfully alleviate the run off from the existing raised septic bed, driveway and sump pump from the west side of our property? 4. Will these swales be installed before spring runoff? 5. Who is responsible to replace our survey stake and what direction should be taken to have this done? In conclusion, we kindly ask that your immediate attention is given to this matter and we welcome a personal visit should you be available. We thank you in advance and await your reply.

Box 305 i rr;� Barrie, ON L4M 4T5 GBHBA (728 -5030) Phone April 10, 2007 The Greater Barrie Home Builders' Association and the Barrie Land Developers' Association are holding our SECOND ANNUAL joint Civic Dinner Meeting on Thursday May 10th at the Sheba Shrine Hall, 142 John Street (North -West quadrant of the John Street — Anne Street intersection). This letter is an invitation for you, as the Mayor or Reeve of one of Barrie's "neighbour" Townships to attend the joint Dinner meeting. Last year's presentations made by Don Given regarding Growth Pressures on Simcoe County, and Wayne Wilson regarding IGAP and the Assimilative Capacity Studies of Lake Simcoe and Nottawasaga Valley Watersheds. These were powerful presentations on very topical subjects ! At last year's meeting we were pleased make a substantial donation to Barrie's Hospital Foundation, and we plan to make a similar donation to a County -wide service organization, Gilda's Club, being this year's main beneficiary of our recent Ice Fishing Tournament on Kempenfelt Bay. This year we are hosting ASSISTANT DEPUTY MINISTER BRAD GRAHAM of THE ONTARIO GROWTH SECRETARIAT, bringing us up -to -date on important growth- related issues and recent legislation and Provincial Policy Statements, with particular emphasis on the special circumstances affecting Barrie and Simcoe County — it looks like we'll have another dynamic question and answer session ! We're again putting together senior administrative staff from Barrie and Simcoe County — Rick Newlove from Simcoe County and Bruce Singbush from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, have accepted invitations to attend, and since it's an election year we wouldn't be surprised to find Joe Tascona and Garfield Dunlop in attendance. We are pleased to extend this invitation to you. You are welcome to bring a CAO or a Planning Director, Deputy Mayor or Reeve, or another staff member whom you feel might benefit from the presentations. A social "Schmooze Hour" begins at 6:00 pm, and Dinner is served at 7:00 pm. You are invited as guests of our Associations. The meetings usually adjourn at around 8:45 or 9:00 pm. Our members are a significant employment group within both Barrie and the surrounding municipalities, and it helps if all of us understand how to work with Barrie and Simcoe County to maintain momentum and employment in the building industry. Our Ontario Association provides employment for about 265,000 persons, much of this within the GTA, and of course, Simcoe County is certain to be the destination of many future residents. We welcome this opportunity to serve as a means of introduction and bringing together the key players in our market area. Please let us know if you can attend, and advise us on whom you might bring with you. Attendance is somewhat limited, therefore we suggest you bring only one additional guest. If you are unable to attend please delegate to your deputy mayor or another member of Council or senior staff. Please RSVP to me at askron @bellnet.ca, or by phone at 705 - 835 -6456. We look forward to welcoming you to this event!
