A Deputation to Oro-Medonte Council
18 Jan 2006 at 7.00 p.m.
By 11M WOODFORD
An Elephant's gestation period is about a year. Official Plan Amendment 16 has
that beaten by four years. Taxpayers have been generous in their support ofOPA's 16
and 17. Township Treasurer Paul Gravelle put the figure at $262,182.96 to the end of
2005. It appears it is not finished quite yet.
Last week I was shocked to be told that OP A 16 is still not in effect. This makes a
mockery of Mayor Craig's often proclaimed "We are protecting the Oro Moraine."
I suggest it is time for Council to re-evaluate the use of outside planning
consultants and carefully consider relying on Bruce Hoppe and his planning staff.
The hundreds of thousands dollars saved would make a down payment on a new
hockey arena for our kids, a Township swimming pool or a curling rink.
The late Ian Beard initiated the Oro Moraine project.
It was his dream to use ecological and hydrological science to protect the key
areas of the Moraine.
Let us look at the process to produce OPAl 6.
In a public presentation on July 27, 2001 Nick MacDonald said a Steering
Committee would be established to coordinate the project. This never happened. Instead
two Working Advisory Groups were set up. Thus there was no Oversight Committee to
supervise the project.
He also said: "The Official Plan Amendment will also have to be defensible at an
Ontario Municipal Board hearing- meaning that it has to logical and reasoned."
Mr. MacDonald introduced an 'environment first' philosophy. It would mean "the
protection of the environment shall take precedence over development"
At the time ofIan' s death there were documents in his office that he planned to
distribute to Council in support of an Ecological Advisory Committee. Jennifer kindly
returned those documents.
I
/'
~
V,
\
The first task of the Ecological Advisory Committee, whose members might have
included David and Juliana Hawke, Jack Seigel, Greg Sadowski, Pat and I, would have
been to list the key natural areas of the Moraine.
Then a three-season study of the flora and fauna would be undertaken. A special
watch would target "Species at Risk" whose presence involves special protection.
This concept died with Ian. Mayor Craig strongly opposes an Ecological Advisory
Committee, saying it is not needed. He is so wrong. I'll talk more about this on Feb. 15.
Thus the Oro Moraine sits with no scientific data to justifY setting aside a core
natural area. Vulnerable to developers and aggregate producers.
A fitting memorial for Ian would be for Council to purchase a significant natural
area on the Moraine and name it in honour of Ian.
Mr. MacDonald tightly controlled all meetings of the Working Groups - chairing
the meetings, setting the agendas and writing the minutes. No votes were ever taken.
There were three opportunities for significant input into the Amendment. The first
was from the Working Groups and Public meetings.
The Working Groups members included Councillors, Government Ministry
representatives, aggregate producers, environmental organizations and citizens. They had
the potential to produce logical and reasoned material for OP A 16.
Unfortunately that was not the case. There is gap between what was discussed and
recommended by the Working Groups and the contents ofOPA 16.
I made several oral presentations and written submissions with regard to the
ecology and natural history of the Moraine. Nick used one word -"hydrological".
He should have changed the Section on Environmental Impact Statements to
require a mandatory three-season study of the flora and fauna and a mandatory
requirement of an assessment of the E1S by an ecologist. OP A 16 has no mandatory
requirements for the contents of an EIS.
In December 2002 Mayor Craig took over as Chair of the Working Groups. No
explanation was ever given for this move.
On Jan 21, 2003 Mr. MacDonald presented a draft of OP A 16. It was dated Jan.
31, 2002. The correct date should be verified as a lot oftax dollars were spent in 2002.
As a response to the draft plan Kathy Woeller, a Ministry of Natural Resources
Planner who was a member of the Working Group, sent a memorandum expressing the
official concerns of her Ministry. (Copy of memorandum attached)
2
"
q
Areas of concern were:
I - Draft OP A 16 appears to be in conflict with Provincial Policies.
2 - Many of the items that were to be addressed in the Aggregates Management
Plan were not carried out and an Aggregates Management Plan was never undertaken.
3 - Not enough research was carried to support designating a core Natural
features area.
In conclusion Ms. Woeller stated: "..it is MNR's opinion that there has not been
adequate justification to support the down designation of the Mineral Aggregate
Resource Areas."
Mayor Craig, as Chair of the Working Group it was your responsibility to ensure
that the Woeller memo was carefully assessed and necessary changes to OPA 16 were
made,
It appears that this was not done and the second opportunity to have significant
opportunity to add logic and reason to OPA 16 was lost.
The third opportunity came in May 2004.
In his May 18, 2004 Decision on the Hillway Request for a pit on the 12th Conc.
north of Rugby, Chair N.C. Jackson wrote: "Correspondence filed shows a range of
opinions on OPA 16 that may result in appeals." And further: "This Board is unable to
place any significant reliance on the new Amendment which is not yet in effect and
which may be dealt with, if changes are not agreed to, before a different panel of this
Board."
Mr. MacDonald represented Oro-Medonte at this Hearing and was thus aware of
all the concerns with regard to OP A 16. This should have resulted in a major revision of
OP A 16. It did not. Thus the third opportunity was lost.
Poor Nick, after all those years and all those tax dollars the mean-spirited folks at
Lafarge, the world's largest supplier of building materials, have taken an extreme dislike
to just about everything in OP A 16.
They are appealing to the Ontario Municipal Board many sections ofOPA 16,
including The Community Vision, Land Use Concept, Environmental Protection Areas
One and Two, Mineral Aggrfgate Resources, Etc. Etc. etc.
This is an equal oppqrtunity deputation so a word about Lafarge.
3
/
L\b
The World Wildlife Fund and Lafarge announced a three-year renewal of an
ongoing partnership in 2005. As a result 80 per cent of the company's 800 quarry sites
have rehabilitation plans in line with jointly defined methodology and targets, ensuring
biodiversity restoration.
Last week I visited Lafarge's Oro and Orillia pits and saw no signs of
rehabilitation, I e- mailed Lafarge two weeks ago inquiring about their plans to
rehabilitate the Oro and Orillia Pits - no reply to date.
How can almost the entire contents of OP A 16, which took Nick MacDonald five
years and almost a quarter of a million dollars to create, appear to be so vulnerable to
appeal? The answer if there is one (perhaps known only to Nick) is the epitome of what
the late Winston Churchill described as, "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an
enigma."
Environment first is the cornerstone of OPAl 6. It sets a precedent for other
municipalities to follow. The idea of "Environment before development" would not sit
well with developers and aggregate producers. Let us hope that this principle is not
sacrificed in the give and take of an OMB Hearing.
The main financial beneficiaries of an OMB Hearing are Nick MacDonald and
lawyer Chris Williams,
As a taxpayer I resent more tax dollars being paid to Mr, MacDonald. I
respectfully request Council to consider placing any tax dollars Mr. MacDonald might
receive ifOPA 16 is appealed in trust pending the outcome of the OMB Hearing,
Further I respectfully request that, at the conclusion of the OMB Hearing, Council
appoint a Committee of councillors and citizens to determine if there are sufficient
grounds to launch an inquiry into the preparation of OPAl 6.
The Committee will know if OP A 16 is defensible - its task will be to determine
if it is logical and reasoned.
If there is an OMB Hearing with regard to OP A 16 I will present a modified
version of this Deputation.
There is still time to salvage lan's dream. I'll tell you about it on Feb. 15 when I
present Part two of my Oro Moraine Trilogy.

MEMORANDUM TO:
Oro Moraine and Aggregate Resources Working Group
Subject: Proposed New Official Plan Amendment Policies
The following comments are offered for your consideration,
The policies have not been examined on a point by point basis, as it is more
important from MNR's perspective to focus on the intent of the policies,
From the outset of this exercise, it appeared that intended outcome of the
policies was to restrict further aggregate extraction on the moraine, It is certainly
recognized that the municipality has the ability to control land use within its
jurisdiction, This control however must be done in conformity with the Upper Tier
Plan and must have regard to the Provincial Policy Statement. While the Policy
Statement outlines the importance of protecting significant natural heritage
features and areas it also speaks clearly to the protection of resources for their
economic use. Specifically, the Policy recognizes Aggregate Resources as a
matter of provincial interest, being of interest to all citizens of Ontario. It states,
"as much of the mineral aggregate resources as is realistically possible will be
made available to supply mineral resource needs, as close to market as
possible.
Aggregates are an essential construction material that are finite in nature and are
limited as to location, quality and quantity. Therefore the presence of aggregate
resources on the moraine and elsewhere in the Township should be viewed as
an important resource area, Furthermore, resource activity such as aggregate
extraction is an important component of the economy and is an appropriate land
use in the rural area. As such, the identification and protection of aggregate
resources areas should be planned beyond the life of the official plan again due
to the geographically limiting and finite nature of the resource.
It is recognized by MNR that striking a balance between the policy directions of
protecting natural heritage features and the need for the identification of
aggregate resources can be very difficult. To aid municipalities in dealing with
this balance, it is hoped that municipalities undertake an evaluation exercise to
achieve the objective of protection of as much of the mineral aggregate resource
as is realistically possible in the context of other social, economic and
.1
I

Page 2
environmental considerations of the Township, To achieve thisbalanae; MNR
recommends that the municipality first determine the location of all high potential
aggregate resources, Once done, the municipality should then examine the
deposits to determine:
a) if the deposits are already sterilized;
b) are uneconomical for extraction; or,
c) the deposits are located in areas with significant social, cultural and
environmental constraints that are of higher priority from a local, regional and
provincial perspective than the need to protect mineral aggregates, It must
then be demonstrated that any negative impacts generated by mineral
aggregate extraction can not be mitigated,
Once the deposits are examined in light of the above, the municipality should
identify alL aggregate deposits where no significant limitation to extraction has
been identified,
In its present form, the proposed official plan policies have down designated the
majority of the 3,7 % of the lands in the Oro Moraine Area currently identified as
having high potential for future extraction. The areas left are those currently
under licence for extraction and small deposits that abut haul routes, From the
information we have received to date, it does not appear that adequate
justification or documentation has been provided to down designate these lands.
- Specifically, no study was undertaken to show that the deposits are
uneconomical for extraction due to the qual~ or quantity of materials available
or whether the deposits have been sten1ized by development. It is recognized S
that some of the areas currently designated as Mineral Aggregate are identified
as Core Areas through the Natural Heritage Evaluation of the Oro-Moraine, The
intent of the Core is to protect those natural heritage features identified as
Signffleant. The Natural Heritage Evaluation has identified that 43 % of the
moraine is Core: It would appear that approximately 1 -2 % of these Core lands
are also identified as having high potential for aggregate extraction, The
questions become:
-;J
1) Has it been demonstrated that these 1 - 2 % core areas are of such
environmental significance and have a greater priority from a ~ir~oo.'
and provincial perspective as to cause a constraint to future aggregate
extraction; and if yes,
2) Can potential negative impacts to the features and functions be mitigated?
When answering these questions, it must also be remembered that those lands
currently under extraction will continue to be rehabilitated as phasing of
extraction occurs, providing opportunity for revegetation, In addition, as deposits
are depleted, areas under licence will eventually be surrendered where again
rehabilitation can provide for revegetation. Aggregate extraction is an interim
land use and the Aggregate Resources Act requires that rehabilitation be carried
'\~-l
Oro Moraine and Aggregates Management

out prior to surrenderof. the licence. As such, the municipality has the ability to;
input on how rehabilitation will be carried out on these lands to further enhance
and/or add to the el<isting core areas,
Other lands that have been down designated are not identified as Core Areas (or
even Corridor or Protection). The rationale for down designation is that these
lands are not on a haul route, lack of an identified haul route has essentially
- negated these aggregate deposits, Again, we contend that suppmting
documentation or justification has not been that provided that indicates that the
deposits are located in areas with significant social and cultural constraints that
are of higher priority from a local, regional and provincial perspective than the
need to protect the mineral aggregate deposit.
'" It was hoped that the Aggregates Management Plan that was proposed by the
Township would address these matters prior to the designation of lands as either
Core or Mineral Aggregate Resources. As ootfined in the November meeting,
many of those items that were to be addressed in the Aggregates Management
Plan were not carried out and in fact, an Aggregates Management Plan was
never undertaken. Now, instead of demonstrating that the known deposits are
constrained as in response to a), b) and c) above, the municipality has made a
prejudgment to eliminate the identification of these deposits,
Based on the above, it is MNR's opinion that there has not been adequate
justification to support the down designation of the Mineral Aggregate Resources
Areas.

an overview of the conservation successes achieved by WVVF and its partners.
In the past six months, we have witnessed millions of hectares of biologically
diverse areas protected - both on land and at sea. Over a million hectares of
forests have been protected in Colombia, Cameroon and Papua New Guinea
combined. And, in Fiji we saw the launching of the country's first network of
marine protected areas, which includes permanent zones where no fishing or
harvesting of other marine resources can take place. These are significant
achievements, particularly as the wond faces increasing rates of deforestation,
habitat loss, and overfishing.
These accomplishments would not have been possible without strong support
and collaboration at the local, national and international levels. I thank our
partners for their support and applaud their important contributions. In my new
role as Director General of WWF International, I look forward to furthering such
partnerships, and building on these achievements, in the years ahead.

Protecting more areas
By 2000, roughly 12 per cent, or 480 million hectares, of the planet's
forests were designated as protected areas, With support from
governments, local communities, indigenous peoples and the private
sector, WWF is constantly working to bring more significantly
biodiverse areas under protection,
In June, Colombia declared the Serrania de los Yariguies as a national
park, covering an area of 78,387ha of high grasslands, cloud forests
and sub-Andean forests.
In October, Cameroon decreed two new national parks in southeast
Cameroon, covering an area of more than 600,000ha. The parks are
home to elephants, gorillas, chimpanzees, forest antelopes, Nile
crocodiles and bongos,
Also In October, Papua New Guinea announced that it will create 12
new protected areas, covering 771,451 ha of the country's most
biologically diverse forests, wetlands and coral reefs.
vvwF and Vietnam's Ministry
of Agriculture and Rural
Development launched the
Vietnami=orest & Trade
Network (VFTN), the first ever
network to promote business
links between producers of
responsible forest products in
Vietnam and concerned
buyers from around the world.
VFTN. is a chapter of the
Global Forest & Trade
Network (GFTN), WWF's
woridwide initiative to
eliminate illegal logging and
improve the management of
threatened forests,
. WWF, with other organizations,
successfully lobbied the
Armenian government in
reversing a decision to build a
highway through Shikahogh
Reserve, one of the most
important protected areas in
Armenia,
. WWF assisted in getting
Morocco to designate 20 new
wetland sites to be protected
under the Ramsar Convention.
Certifying more trees
Establishing forest protected areas alone is not enough, Sustainable
management practices, such as forest certification, are also required,
WWF's work on forest certification - particularly its support for the
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) it helped create in 1993 - has led
to greater recognition of the importance of environmentally and socially
sound wood products.
In July, cork oak forest owners and processors from Italy, Portugual
and Spain received the first FSC certification of cork oak forests and
products in the Mediterranean region.
In September, the FSC awarded Canadian timber company Tembec
certification for its forest resource management practices, T embec has
now achieved FSC certification for 5.2 million hectares of forest land in
the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia,
In October Bolivia certified more than two million hectares of its
forests, making the South American country the world leader in tropical
forest certification,
. A survey co-sponsored by
WWF, showed that tiger
numbers in Russia are stable,
The news is a welcome relief,
especially as tigers have
decreased in other parts of Asia.
Protecting more species
As part of the WWF/Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife Black Rhino Range
Expansion Project in South Africa, 21 black rhinos were released at the
Zululand Rhino Reserve and another four were released in the
Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park in KwaZulu-Natal. The aim of the project is to
increase numbers of endangered black rhinos by increasing the land
available for their conservation and providing new territory in which
they can breed,
In Nepal, poachers were arrested for selling horns of the endangered
greater one-horned rhino, WWF has been monitoring the activities of
suspected rhino horn traders, offering continuous support to antl-
poaching operations of the Royal Chitwan National Park,
WWF assisted with the reintroduction of ten takhis horses in the
Khomiin Tal steppe of Mongolia near the Khar Us Nuur National Park,

Protecting marine areas
While not as extensive as protected areas on land. marine protected
areas (MPAs) are equally important in safeguarding the ocean's rich
biodiversity, providing a safe haven for commercial fish stocks and
offering alternative sources of income, such as tourism, for local
people.
While only 0.5 per cent of the world's oceans are protected, WWF is
campaigning for at least 10 per cent of marine areas to be under some
form of protection by 2012. There are already growing signs that this is
happening,
WWF has recognized local efforts in Fiji to protect fragile coral
ecosystems by launching the first of the country's networks of MPAs
throughout the Great Sea Reef The Great Sea Reef conservation
effort delivers on Fiji's commitment to establish an MPA network
covering 30 per cent of the country's waters by 2020.
. A WWF report prepared for the
International Whaling
Commission (IWC) meeting in
June 2005 - Science, profit and
politics: Scientific whaling in the
21st century- dispels the myth
that it is necessary to kill whales
in order to study them and
advocates the use of more non-
lethal scientific techniques.
. Released at the World Summit
meeting in New York in
September 2005, the WWF
report - Freshwater and poverty
reduction: Serving people,
saving nature - shows a strong
link between environmental
improvement and economic
development.
. A report commissioned by
WWF - Climate change
impacts in the Mediterranean -
indicates a 2 degrees C rise in
global temperatures means more
frequent heatwaves, as well as
droughts, forest fires and other
problems for agriculture and
freshwater will adversely affect
the tourism industry in the
Mediterranean region,
WWF Vietnam and Nul Chua National Park on Vietnam's south-central
coast launched a joint project to strengthen the marine management
capacity of the park, Training programmes in socio-economic surveys
and coral reef monitoring have been implemented, with a long-term
goal of developing a MPA.
Protecting marine species
Through the systematic exchange of information and data on research,
populations, migratory routes, nesting sites and feeding areas, a WWF-
endorsed tri-natlonal agreement between Indonesia, Papua New
Guinea and the Soiomon Islands will promote conservation of the
critically endangered Western Pacific ieatherback turtle. WWF and its
partners are also tracking leatherback turtles in the waters of the
Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea,
Results from a one-year WWF-supported research project, which
involved 115 fishing vessels in Ecuador, show that the use of circle
hooks - as opposed to traditional" J" shaped hooks - can reduce the
number of endangered sea turtles killed in long-line fishing operations
by as much as 90 per cent.
WWF lobbying efforts saw EU fisheries ministers agree on a trawling
ban on the seabed around Madeira, the Azores and the Canary Islands
to protect their unique coral reefs from destruction.

Partnering for Success
Changes in corporate practice are essential if there is to be real
progress in tackling conservation challenges like global warming,
moving to renewable energy systems and clean technologies, phasing
out toxic chemicals, and ensuring the sustainable use of natural
resources such as timber, fish and agricultural products.
Although corporations are often part of the problem. they should
undoubtedly be part of the solution. WWF is continuously forming
partnerships with different companies and institutions that demonstrate
a real commitment to the principles of sustainability.
For example, WWF and the World Bank announced at the fifth meeting
of the United Nations Forum on Forests the renewal of a partnership
that aims to reduce global deforestation rates by 10 per cent by 2010.
Known as the World BankIWWF Alliance for Forest Conservation &
Sustainable Use, the programme supports the establishment of new
forest protected areas such as national parks, more effective
management of forest protected areas, and improved management of
forests outside protected areas.

WWF and Lafarge, the world leader in building materials, announced a
three-year renewal of an ongoing partnership following significant
progress in reducing carbon dioxide (C02) emissions and in improving
quarry rehabilitation. As a result of the partnership, 80 per cent of the
company's 800 quarry sites have rehabilitation plans in line with jointly
defined methodology and targets, ensuring biodiversity restoration.
WWF-US and the Center for Energy and Climate Solutions (CECS)
have reached agreements with the American cities of Aspen and
Annapolis, along with NorskeCanada, a leading paper producer, to
reduce heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions. WWF and CECS also
announced that IBM, a participant in their Climate Savers programme,
has surpassed its reduction target, avoiding more than 1.28 million
tons of C02 emissions and saving US$115 million in reduced energy
costs.

Awarding SucCess
WWF's highest accolade for recognizing conservation success is
through a Gift to the Earth. The 'Gift' enables WWF to publicly
recognize an important conservation achievement, one which
demonstrates environmental leadership and is a globally significant
contribution to the protection of the living planet. Each Gift
represents an important success within one or more of WWF's global
conservation priorities - forests, freshwater, marine, endangered
species, climate change, and toxic chemicals.
Good things come to those who wait
WWF's ultimate goal is to stop and eventually reverse environmental
degradation and to build a future where people live in harmony with
nature, Such an ambitious goal does not happen overnight. In fact,
sometimes conservation success takes years and involves WWF
working with many stakeholders, including governments, the private
sector, local communities and partner organizations, to make it
happen. But as the saying goes - good things come 10 Ihose who
wait. And those "good things" should be rewarded.
. WWF honoured the
Cambodian govemment in June
2005 with a Living Planet Award
for progress made towards
biodiversity conservation,
particularly of the country's dry
forests and parts of the Mekong
River basin. Cambodia has
commited to set aside 25 per
cent 01 the land area for
protected areas, as well as
decentralizing the management
of more than 50 per cent of the
country's freshwater fisheries
areas to local communities.
. The Amazoniar Consortium,
led by WWF-Brazil, was
awarded the 2005 Highlight
Award by the United States
Agency for International
Development (USAID) in
recognition of the consortium's
commitment to connecting
landscapes and peoples in the
southwestern part of the Amazon
through sustainable forest
management and certification,
market development and
protected areas.
. WWF-Finland presented an
award to Finnish conductor Esa-
Pekka Salonen who, through his
work, has highlighted the
deteriorating condition of the
Baltic Sea and brought its
conservation needs to the
public's attention.
And the award goes to..,
Marking WWF's 100th Gift to the Earth in May 2005, the government of
Russia's Krasnoyarsk region committed to establish more than three
million hectares of protected areas in the region by 2007. Much of the
protected areas will fall under WWF's Altai-Sayan priority ecoregion.
In June 2005, WWF recognized 24 new protected areas in China's
Heilongjiang province - a combined area of 1,8 million hectares - as
a Gift to the Earth, The province is home to one of the world's most
distinctive temperate forests, and has one of the last stands of mixed
temperate deciduous and conifer forests in east Asia. It is also a critical
area for conserving endangered wildlife, including Siberian tigers and
leopards, as well as musk deer, brown bears and Asiatic black bears.
In July 2005, WWF recognized the creation of five new marine
protected areas (MPAs) by the government and local communities of
Senegal as a Gift to the Earth. The establishment of a network of
MPAs off the Senegalese coast - covering a total area of 82,500ha -
is crucial for the protection of fish spawning grounds and stock
recovery. During the event, Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade
pledged to create 10-15 new MPAs in his country, as well as establish
two transboundary MPAs with neighbouring Mauritania and The
Gambia.
In October 2005, WWF presented the Australian government with a
Gift to the Earth for the design and implementation of the Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park zoning plan. Under the plan, strict protection rose
from 4.6 per cent to 33 per cent of the Marine Park and World Heritage
Area, covering more than 11 million hectares.

Since being invited by the Chinese government in 1979 to assist with
panda conservation, WWF - the first international environmental
organization in China - continues with those efforts to this day.
A recent survey by WWF and China's State Forest Administration puts
the total panda population in the wild at close to 1,600 individuals - 40
per cent more than estimated previously. This is good news but
nevertheless work continues to restore wild panda populations and
their habitats.
With over 40 field projects, WWF China's conservation initiatives range
from not only panda conservation, but to restoration of the Yangtze
River, new protected areas, and environmental education.
. DisconnecledJromthe

opened as part Of a WWF-
HSBC freshwater Initiative to
restore the "web of life" along
the river. Opening the dykes
will help the migratory flow of
fish, allowing them to breed
upstream In the Yangtze and
for the young fish fry to return
to the lakes where they can
grow to maturity.
. In addition to re-Iinklng
isolated lakes, the WWF-
HSBC programme Is helping
to restore wetland habitats for
displaced migratory and
endemic birds and fish, as well
as reduce water pollution and
establish key protected areas
for the region's most
endangered species,
Not just about panda conservation
In addition to saving pandas, WWF has also been working in China to
protect other important species and their habitats which are often
threatened by commercial logging, forest fires, poaching, wetland
conversion, overfishlng, pollution and dam construction.
WWF China marked the 20th anniversary of the reintroduction of the
Pere David deer In the Central Yangtze region after it became extinct
In the early 20th century. Thanks to efforts by WWF, which helped
bring over a founder population of 39 from a wildlife park In the UK, the
Pere David population today stands at 2,500 Individuals In three
national nature reserves.
In November 2005, the China Forest and Trade Network (CFTN)
marked a milestone when It announced that five companies from
mainland China and three companies from Hong Kong qualified as Its
first official members. Launched In March 2005, CFTN is the China
chapter of the Global Forest and Trade Network (GFTN), WWF's
worldwide partnership between leading non-governmental
organizations, companies and communities aimed at eliminating illegal
logging and Improving the management of threatened forests.
The WWF-supported Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified two
Chinese state-owned forests In Heilongjiang and Jilin Provinces
totaling an area of 420,000ha, China had no certified forests before
WWF Introduced FSC certification In 2000.

Letter to Ora Township
Monday, January 02, 2006
4,36 PM
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council,
Township of Oro
Re: Encroachment on Municipal Public Road Allowance, Township of Oro-Medonte, Plan 626
Lot 21, West Part Lot 22, Part Lot 121, PIN 74040-0140(LT), 46 Lakeshore Promenade/46
Stanley Avenue
First off we like to thank you for giving us your time today and being generous with the
length of time given to us to sort out this matter.
I would like to start with a bit of history about the deck and continue with the follow up
needed to deal with the problem that presented itself to us,
After purchasing the aged and very damaged and neglected house on 46 Stanley Avenue, it
became clear to us that certain aspects about the deck were not very safe. However,
financially it was not possible to deal with that problem at that time and we had to wait
2-3years. 1year later we realized that the wood was rotten to a point that could prove to be
dangerous for us and also the public. We decided to go ahead and replace the rotten deck
boards covering the surface only. We assumed that a building permit was not needed since
we only wanted to replace the rotten deck boards. With the assistants of our neighbour the
project was to start on a Saturday.
After removal of the existing deck boards, it soon became apparent that the whole structure
including the floor joist were beyond saving, We realized at that point just how bad this
whole structure had been, Being Sattmilay, the town office was closed as well and it was not
.afe to leave the structure the way It was at that point.
A new floor system was framed to match the existing one except with an addition of 18" in
length and installed onto the existing foundation. New decking and railing followed.
Due to a 6months business trip to the USA, we could not complete the whole project, but
felt at that point that it was 100 times safer for public use than the previous deck.
Our Insurance Broker (Linda from Douglas Hickling Insurance) also notified us that any
accidents occurring on the deck are the responsibility of Peel Mutual Insurance Company,
We realize that a proper railing has to be installed to bring the structure up to the building
code.
We have been complemented by everyone in the neighbourhood on the looks and safety of
the deck. Now, it is safe for the young, elderly and children alike to walk onto the deck and
enjoy the beautiful view it has to offer. This piece of land as well as any other property
along the lake, is a true treasure and should be treated as such. We don't believe in making
huge changes to the water front itself and cause pOSSible damage to Lake Simcoe, we only
want to create a safe, environment friendly atmosphere. In fact we have not touched the
shoreline at all and let the plants and tress do there thing. We promote being "Lake Friendly"
with signs to the public and not use fertilizers that will run of into the lake. We had a meeting
with a member of the "Ladies of the Lake" to see what we can do to help this area in Oro.
Surely you can tell by this that no harm was meant and that we will try and comply with any
demands to rectify this situation,
We would be more than happy to go through the process of applying for the building permit
and paying for it. It never was our intention to bypass members of council or step on any
ones toes,
We are so sorry that this situation got out of hand and will work with you to solve it.
If it is not possible to resolve the problem with a permit, I like to direct your attention to the
attached" Policy For Encroachments on Road Allowances And Municipally Owned Property",
No 2 states that a piece of land may be sold to the owner at a price to be determined by
council or
No 3 states that a licensed agreement with the encroachment owner at a fee to be
(backup) Meetings (On] -5-2006) - 2 Page]
determined by the municipality may be reached.
We like to thank you again for taking time to hear our plea and will be more than happy to
answer any question you may have.

10. NEW BUSINESS
Fred Nix advised the members of the Engineering and Technical Services
Advisory Committee that he will be bringing forward a revised resolution to the
next meeting of the Executive regarding the IDF/precipitation intensity standards.
The new resolution will better reflect the original intent which was to request staff
to examine the process/permissions required for the NVCA to use higher
standards,
Chair Chris Carrier announced that he does not plan to run in the next NVCA
election. Chris also noted that he will not be filling the position of Past Chair.
Chris will remain as a regular Board Member.
Wayne Wilson, CAO/Secretary- Treasurer provided a brief update on Source
Water Protection.
11. RECONITION OF GUESTS
GUEST SPEAKER: The Hon. John Tory, MPP, Dufferin-Peel-Wellington-Grey
Chair Chris Carrier welcomed Mr. Tory and his staff, Sylvia Jones and Patrick
Harris and expressed his appreciation to Mr. Tory for taking the time to attend the
meeting.
Chair Carrier explained that this informal meeting would explore several issues of
concern to the municipal members. The Full Authority Members have a
continued commitment in working with the NVCA to ensure the representation of
their constituents in watershed issues. Chair Carrier expressed his pleasure in
working with these individuals who are committed, elected and appointed
municipal officials. Each member introduced themselves.
Mr. Wayne Wilson, CAO/Secretary Treasurer then introduced Mr. Don Pearson,
General Manager of Conservation Ontario who thanked the Full Authority for the
opportunity to meet with Mr. Tory and the Full Authority members. Mr. Pearson
presented a package to Mr. Tory which provided an outline of Conservation
Ontario's roles and responsibilities. Conservation Ontario is an umbrella
organization which represents 36 Conservation Authorities across Ontario.
FULL AUTHORITY ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES NO. 9-05 14 October, 2005 Page 5 of 8
Conservation Ontario has been working closely in conjunction with the Ministry of
the Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources compiling background
information in preparation for the significant legislation being established for
Source Water Protection. This new legislation is a huge undertaking which will
result in the long term security of our water resources. Significant for
Conservation Ontario and the Conservation Authorities will be the increasing
financial burden being pushed back from the provincial level of government to the
municipal level. This financial burden will put a strain on the relationships
between Conservation Authorities and the Municipalities.
Since the 1940's, Conservation Authorities and Municipalities have formed stron
partnerships which have reduced natural hazard impacts to 09ur property owners
and residents. We are reminded through recent events in other places in the
world of the importance of these programs. Conservation Ontario has made
submissions to the legislature appealing for their help in restoring the municipal
and provincial partnership funding to ensure these programs continue to be
initiated.
Mr. Tory thanked Mr. Pearson for his comments and advised that he has come to
this meeting to listen and make note of the concerns facing the Conservation
Authorities and the Municipalities. He noted his clear understanding of the
impact the Conservation Authorities have on the environment and the good work
that they do, as well as the importance of the municipal level of government in
expressing the immediate needs of their communities. At the present time it
would appear that a financial imbalance has been created for municipalities
which should be addressed through a review process. If a review were to be
implemented, Mr. Tory advised that he would give it his full commitment. With
the challenge of funding, one possible scenario could be a partnership
agreement between the municipalities and the provincial government.
The Discussion Was Then Opened To The Floor.
Mr. Fred Nix NVCA representative for the Town of Mono inquired about the
Source Water Protection program and the funding/implementation of the plan
once it has been finalized. Mr. Nix indicated that his Council is not prepared to
implement with this plan unless there is some level of commitment from the
provincial level of government.
Mr. Tory advised that although the matter of implementation and funding has not
been addressed, the province should consider it to be in the broader public
interest to pass legislation, whether it is Nutrient Management or Source Water
Protection. Mr. Tory indicated that he personally would not support 100%
financial burden to be placed on the municipalities. He would support a
contractual agreemenUpartnership between Municipalities, Conservation
Authorities and the Province to develop a fair, province-wide, consistent formula.
\ C"
FULL AUTHORITY ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES NO. 9-05 14 October, 2005 Page 6 of 8
Mr. Nix raised questions regarding the Greenbelt legislation and the criticism by
the Conservative government that it lacked scientific detail.
Chair Chris Carrier questioned how the Conservative party plans to balance,
especially in rural Ontario, the perceived right of property owners. He noted the
resistance for further government legislation regarding better land practices.
From a political perspective, he questioned how the Conservative party would
suggest balancing the scientific data supporting more protection of water
resources with the property rights of owners?
Mr. Tory advised that property owners are entitled to a scientific explanation to
support legislation such as the Green Belt legislation. In addition, there should
be an opportunity to have a fair hearing if they do not agree with any new
legislation such as the Nutrient Management Act. The government should not
alter people's rights without allowing them the opportunity to be heard, there
should always be public consultation and a balance should be reached between
new legislation imposed by the province and a financial contribution to
compensate for that legislation.
Mr. Ralph Hough, NVCA representative for the Township of Oro-Medonte
advised that he represents a very small, rural township, Although he is fully
committed to the good work of the Conservation Authorities, the significant
impact of the recent provincial downloading such as ambulance, policing etc.,
has resulted in him not supporting an increase in budget committed to the
Conservation Authority.
Mr. Tory advised that he is fully aware of the impact the downloading has had at
every level of municipal government, whether it is a small rural township or a
large City such as Toronto. In many cases the impact is exactly the same, as the
problem is based on population and the commercial base. The issues are
simpler than one may think. They are issues that all stem from the same
problem which is that there have been unilateral policies and initiatives imposed
with no funding plan, The Tax Payers are under the same pressures
everywhere.
Garry Matthews, NVCA representative for the Township of Melancthon advised
that a meeting was held in April with MNR, NVCA and the members from Dufferin
County regarding the Head Waters for the Nottawasaga River, located in Dufferin
County. Mr. Matthews advised that they are having a great deal of difficulty in
getting a representative from the Ministry of the Environment to come to a
meeting. Mr. Tory advised that Mr. John Wilkinson, Parliamentary Assistant to
the Minister would be the individual to contact and that he would pass along Mr.
Matthew's request.

FULL AUTHORITY ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES NO. 9-05 14 October, 2005 Page 7 of 8
Mr. Barry Ward, NVCA representative from the City of Barrie questioned Mr. Tory
about the Places to Grow Act and how local planning issues are being
addressed, At the present time Simcoe County is growing quickly.
Mr. Tory advised that he is in support of the Smart Growth and Places to Grow
legislation and that it is a question of balance to be sure that growth is smart.
The municipal level of government should make planning decisions regarding the
amount of growth that should take place. From a provincial government
perspective, they provide the appellant with an avenue through the OMB process
if they feel wrong decisions have been made at a municipal level. Mr, Tory
indicated that he is disinterested in changing policies that are working.
Further discussion ensued regarding the fact that there will be approximately 2
million more people living in Ontario by 2020. There is an urgent need to start
building the infrastructure today.
NVCA Chair Chris Carrier commented on the OMB process, specifically the
financial costs to local small community groups in proceeding through the
process. Chair Carrier questioned if the Conservative party would consider
developing a policy for local residents to go through the process at reduced
costs.
Mr. Tory indicated that he is certainly aware of the costs involved and that
perhaps this could be discussed in more detail this fall. He noted that it should
also be considered that in some instances the province could end up funding
hearings that are not relevant. It is important however, to come up with a method
of a fair hearing process.
Ms. Joan Sutherland, NVCA representative from the Town of New Tecumseth
commended Mr. Tory for his professional decorum in the proceedings in the
House. Mr. Tory thanked Ms. Sutherland and reiterated that the Parliament is a
place for civil discussion and he is honored to be a part of the process.
NVCA Vice Chair, Walter Benotto, thanked Mr. Tory for his honest discussion.
Discussion ensued regarding the Conservations Authority's difficulty in gathering
funds to purchase environmentally sensitive lands. Mr. Benotto cited the Elba
Springs Wetlands as a prime example.
Mr. Tory advised that he recognizes the challenge to come up with some creative
funding mechanism. The Province does need to make a contribution to attract
other funding alternatives.
In closing, Mr. Tory thanked the Full Authority for inviting him to the meeting and
advised that visiting municipalities (he has visited 101 of 103 ridings this year) is
one of the most useful times he spends.
Mr. Tory left the meeting at 12.26 p.m.

he wants to construct a road to access some farm land.
The Board of Directors requested that Mr. Antonopoulos work with Authority staff to

6.5 Report from the Friends of the Midland Public Library
G.A Walker reported that a new member attended the last meeting.
A proposal was brought forward to the Friends to support an initiative
to put a new children's book in each Rotary Club Christmas Hamper.
The Friends would purchase the books for Rotary. A decision was
deferred to the next Friends meeting. There was also a fair bit of
discussion over how to revitalize the Friends.
The Friends have once again donated $1,000.00 toward the Library's
periodical subscriptions and another $2,000.00 to help pay for the
cataloguing of the Ste. Marie collection.
A display sign for the front lawn of the Library was discussed. The
Library doesn't have a good place to advertise upcoming special events
like the Reading Series, the Annual Book Sale or the May Dinner/Dance.
The Friends would pay for the sign if the Board approves of the idea.
The Board gave their approval O. Parsons suggested that we also look
at the idea of having a banner put up above the street.
