Dear Mayor & Council:
I am pleased to be able to provide you with a copy of my Private Member's Bill, the
'Elected Officials Immunity Act 2004', which I introduced in thc Legislative Assembly
of Ontario.
This Bill, if passed will provide elected members of municipal councils and school
boards the same privilege, immunities, and powers presently granted to members of the
Legislative Assembly. The legislation is designed to assist elected officials and
municipalities by allowing more freedom of speech and public debate in chamber settings
without thc reprise of court action.
Any support or assistance that you can provide would be grcatly appreciated. Please
contact your local MPP as well as Premier Dalton McGuinty of your endorsement of this
Bill.
I look forward to your valuable input and appreciate all your support.
Yours Sincerely,

The fonowing came to light during our meeting with Staff Sgt. Ed Whinnery this morning after the advancement of our
Deputation to The Committee Of The Whole.
We would like this infonnation to become an Addendum to our Deputation so that the Committee Members have a clear
picture of the situation prior to making any decision.
I asked Staff SgL Whinnery about the "stats" concerning our road and he said that he was going to present these to the
Committee Of The Whole in two weeks time. We felt that it was imperative for you to have at least this following statistic
prior to then in order for you to make an infonned decision with respect to our road.
Staff Sgt. Whinnery stated, of all the traffic violations that occurred in rural Oro Medonte; separate and aside from the 400/11
corridor; 90% occurred ou our small stretch of road. He was as surprised at this as we were.
This infonnation not only validates our concerns, but helps to bring to light what we have said all along. OUf situation here is
unique and as such deserves attention that is "outside of the box,"
Thank you in advance for your consideration in this regard.

Dear Mayor & Council:
On November 25,2004, the Honourable David Ramsay, Minister of Natural Resources
released a strategy for the conservation of wolves in Ontario. I have included a press
release that I have issued regarding the proposed legislation.
The Ministry's own data suggests that the wolf population in Ontario has remained stable
and unchanged since the early 1900's. Hunting and trapping are regulated activities
which have no detrimental effect on wolf populations. There is simply no rationale for
implementing a wolf conservation program in this province, and the chances are more
likely to have a negative impact by including coyotes in this policy.
I am concerned that the Province has not undertaken the appropriate level of consultation
especially with local governments and rural residents. The proposed changes were
brought forward without consideration of the impact they will have especially on rural
and agricultural municipalities who will have to deal with the problems and costs of
increased wolf and coyote populations.
Farmers, hunters, trappers, and other conservationists have expressed their opposition to
the government's wolf conservation plan. I invite you to review the proposed strategy the
government has put forward and make your concerns known to them. I hope that the
Minister will carefully consider all recommendations and input before proceeding with
this program.
Yours Sineerely,
O~ui

WOLF STRATEGY APPEASES SPECIAL INTEREST
GROUPS
QUEEN'S PARK - Yesterday in the Legislative Assembly, Liberal
Minister of Natural Resources, David Ramsay released his strategy for
wolf conservation in Ontario.
The proposed changes to Ontario's conservation laws would add new
licences, increased fees and more restrictive regulations for the hunting
and trapping of wolves in the province.
Jerry Ouellette, MPP Oshawa and Natural Resources Critic for the Official
Opposition, is outraged, "This strategy has nothing to do with conservation.
It is quite simply political payback to the animal rights and environmental
special interest groups that helped elect this government."
Mr. Ouellette points out, "In fact, consultations of the tourism, agricultural
and municipal stakeholders were not even conducted on the strategy."
The MNR's own data suggests that wolf populations have been stable or
increasing in Ontario since the early 1900's. The limited hunting and
trapping of wolves that takes place has a minimal effect on wolf
populations.
"There is no need for this type of single species management by the
MNR," says Mr. Ouellette. "We need to look at the big picture and manage
our natural resources on an ecosystem based approach. Instead, this
Minister and his government are trying to appease the special interest
groups."

Opet1 Letter to
AU Member Mut1icipal COUt1ci!s
of the Nottawasaga Watershed
Dear Council Members:
The TOWJ1ship of Essa wishes to make all members of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authoritv Watershed aware of a situatiot1 with the NVCA which we believe is cause for concern.
~ .. . . .. ..
As you may be aware, Essa leases a property from the NVCA known as the Utopia Grist Mill. a
historically significant property with an actual mil1 located therein. Through sigt1ificant
community fUt1d raising and financial contributions from this Tovmship, a restoration project on
(he mill commenced in 2003 and continued until February 2004, when contaminated soil "vas
discovered and the restoration work was halted at the request of the NVCA stating tl-tat " . . no
works are to take place at the Mi1l site until the contaminated soi) issue is reso1\'ed".
It is the opinion of this Township that the presence of both gasoline and diesel in the soil had
been in existence long before the Township entered into a lease agreement with the NVCA for
the subject lands, since the Grist Mm had been operated many years ago by a gasoline/diesel
engine system. Following the NVCA's initial request, and their subsequent con'espondence
directing tbe "discontinua(jon of any works", !be municipality complied with these requests.
The NVCA arranged for a petroleum management company to undertake soil bio-remediatloT)
work at the Grist Mill site in the fall of 2004 and, after it's completion, provided clearance for
Essa's restoration contractor to recommence the project. However, following complction of the
bio-remediation, the restora(jon contractor submitted a large claim for delay charges which was
subsequently paid by !be Township under protest. It is Essa's opinion that the NVCA, as the
owner of t'le property, should have been responsible for an environmental audit and the soil
remediation, and that the NVCA should also be responsible, at least in part, for !be expenses
which resuJted from their request for discontinuation of any "yorks.

To date, Essa's requests to d.iscus$ this matter with the fuLl NVCA Board have been repeatedly
denied on the basis that only the Executive Committee will deal with it. Essa Council feels
strongly that all member municipalities should be aware of the restrictive and undemocratic
approach the NVCA Executive has taken through their unwiUingness to have this matter brought
to the attention of the full AudJority.
Essa Township has always been a.nd continues to be a strong supporter of the NVCA, and
remains a member in good sta.'1ding. We are asking for the support of all member municipalities
and their representatives to a!low Essa to speak to the full Authority on this matter, which is a
right that all Authority members should be entitled to.
A letter of support from each member municipaJity toward Essa' s request to make a deputation
before the full authority would be greatly appreciated. If you require further information please
contact CAO Greg Murphy at 705-424-9770 or Deputy Mayor Terry Dowda!) at 705-423-1154.
Your consideration and prompt reply would be greatly appreciated.
Yours trUly,
