OUTREACH
Goal 2.7
Establish a mutually-beneficial presence in the school system.
The Grade One classes from Monsignor Lee visited the Library on the afternoon of June 16 as
part of the Great 2 Read Program.
The Grand Battle of the Battle of the Books program took place at Regent Park on the morning
of Thursday June 8. Students and teachers from Regent Park and Orchard Park as well as
Children's Services staff met for an exciting and very close fought Battle with only three points
separating the two teams. The team to take home the trophy for 2006 was Orchard Park. We
look forward to another exciting battle in 2007.
Goal 4
The Library will advocate for increased public awareness of the value and range
of library services.
Kelly Smith and Suzanne Campbell attended the Arts for Peace Festival at the Stephen Leacock
Memorial Home on June 18. Both Children's Services and the Paws for Reading program were
promoted with limited success. Over 25 people (children and adults) stopped at our booth and
shared stories and a quiet time with their children. The weather was threatening and very humid,
in addition, it was Father's Day, both occurrences may have reduced the number of people
attending the event.
Suzanne Campbell and Lee Kelly staffed a literacy booth at the Canada Day Celebration on July
I. It was lightly attended, but those who visited enjoyed having the time to sit and enjoy a
storytime with their children.
PUBLICITY
Goal 4
The Library will advocate for increased public awareness of the value and range
of library services.
Kelly Smith attended a summer activity display at Jack and Maddy's on Sunday June 4 to
promote the summer programs at the library.
The TD Summer Reader's Club brochure was produced and distributed to over 4,000 students
from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6.
Children's Services staff wrote a play to promote the TD Summer Reading Club. The play was
brought to fifteen schools, and Children's Services staff made twenty-five presentations to 2500
students. The play was enthusiastically received and was reflected in the strong registration for
the program.
Registration for the TD Summer Reading Club began on June 26 with a steady stream of parents
and children coming in through most of the day, and including a line-up outside the door before
we opened.
Materials displays were created in support of the TD Summer Readers Club booklist and were
color coded and arranged by age and grade level. These displays received heavy use over the
summer.
REFERENCE
GoalS
The Library will develop methods of measurement to evaluate the effectiveness of
library services and programs.
Reference transactions showed steady increase throughout June, July and August. June saw an
18 percent increase in the number of reference transactions answered by Children's Services
staff. In July there was a 9 percent increase, and August saw a 7 percent increase in the number
of reference requests handled by Children's Services staff. The year to date statistics as of the
end of August show an overall 7 percent increase in the number ofreference questions answered
by Children's Services staff.
Reference Questions:
June 2006: 348
June 2005: 295
July 2006: 467
July 2005: 429
August 2006: 369

SUMMER PROGRAMS
Goal 2.1
Develop and maintain programs associated with identified groups.
Registration for the TD Summer Reading Club began on June 26 with a steady stream of parents
and children coming in through most of the day, and including a line-up outside the door before
we opened.
Three hundred and one children ages 6-12 joined the TD Summer Reading Club and read a total
of 3584 books. As part of the Summer Reading Club we implemented twenty nine programs
reflecting the theme Quest for Heroes. A minimum of six prizes were given out every week to
children who reported on the books they read that week. Eighty-two per cent of the children
completed their reading contracts. The completion rate is high and reflects the enjoyment the
children have in the program and the importance of the prize incentives we provide for the
children.
,
\
Thirty-three children from Oro-Medonte Township, forty-seven children from Severn Township,
and two-hundred and eighteen children from the City of Orillia participated in the Summer
Reading Club.
We introduced a new element to the Summer Reading Club this year. To encourage reporting
we invited the children to report on their books on-line to Wonder Web Woman. This method of
reporting proved quite popular with 73 children making 183 book reports. Children's Services
staff also found this alleviated some of the time demands made on staff in listening to book
reports.
Once again the business community was very generous offering prizes and gift certificates as
reading reward incentives for members of the Summer Readers' Club. Reading rewards are a
very important part of the program, many children commented on being thrilled when they were
phoned and notified that they had won a prize. A lot of staff time was allocated to this project, a
worthwhile investment.
We would like to thank the following Orillia businesses for supporting summer reading at the
Orillia Public Library: Velocity Bike and Multi Sport, The Source, The Pita Pit, Mark's Work
Warehouse, Montana's Cookhouse, Weber's Downtown, Tops Pizza, Lahay's Craft and
Hobbies, Birdhouse Nature Co., Magpie Beads, Kelsey's, Boston Pizza, Complete Office

Dominoes Pizza, Kings Buffet, Red Caboose Mini-Golf, and the Lions Club of Orillia and TD
Bank.
Melissa Harris offered a fun language rich experience for the Wonder Kids Ready to Read Club.
Melissa did a great job keeping the children focused during her circle time, not an easy task with
over forty children and their parents attending some of the programs. Melissa presented fourteen
programs for children from 3-6 years and their parents. Including an opening and closing party
and reading encouragement activities.
The Wonder Kids Ready to Read Club had a membership of one hundred children. The children
shared 1500 books with their parents.

from Orillia Parks and Recreation Early Years day camps and the YMCA summer day camps.
SUMMER PROGRAM EVALUATION
GoalS
The Library will develop methods of measurement to evaluate the effectiveness of
library services and programs.

Summer Reading Club and for the children evaluating the TD Summer Reading Club. We are
presently tabulating the results.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Goal 7
The Library will investigate, develop and maintain partnerships in the community.
PAWS for Reading was offered Thursday evenings for seven weeks over the summer with two

BY DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES
LYNNE GIBBON
,
\

circulating well; August circulation for that collection was 288 times.
Eleven shut-ins were provided with bags full of books in the month.

Michelle created 4 displays at the Reader's Advisory desk on the following topics:
summer reads, Canadian Fiction, the Chincoteagl.le auction and First Nations Community
Reads 2006.
Thee bookmarks were created: two summer reads and one for Canadian Fiction

The online databases were searched 321 times during the month. There were 900
webpage visits and 24 visits to the Frost Papers.
\ Dc, - \ \
GOAL 7: Investigate, develop and maintain partnerships in the community:
As the library representative on the Records Management Committee at the City, I can
report that a consultant has been hired to submit a request to various vendors of records
management software to provide a system that will allow indexing of, circulation,
retention tables for city documents. Research was done to see if there was a library
vendor who could provide this type of software, without a great deal of success.
I attended the overview of the Ontario Disabilities Act presented by the CDC and
provided them with a critique of their website. Advice was handed out on creating a
useful website for the visually handicapped and a quiz demonstrated that Orillia Public
Library has become less accessible to the physically challenged due to lack of space and
overcrowding.
GOAL IO: Respond to community development and city growth:
The Community Cultural Forum was held on August 30 at the Leacock Home. The
committee has decided that a central agency should take on amalgamating all of the
cultural events happening in the community, to prevent duplication and to prevent two
groups booking major events at the same time. This would be an excellent task for
Information Orillia.
Lynne sent out letters to 13 Foundations to attempt to get funding for a new reader/printer
for the Information Services department.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL SERVICES, DAVID ROWE,
FOR THE MONTHS OF JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST 2006.
GOAL 2. The library will create and maintain lifelong relationships with users.
Initiatives: Evaluate user needs evelY three years by means of an in-house survey
At the end of July I oversaw the scheduled distribution of the new library survey over a 2
week period. To ensure as wide a representation of our users as possible, the surveys
were handed out at different time periods each day Around 400 surveys were completed
and given to the CEO.
GOAL # 3 : The Library will optimize and customize library services to our user groups.
1) In early July the Library inaugurated its "Express Books" service, where copies of
popular materials could be bon-owed for a I week period, wither higher late charges and
no renewals. This would increase the turnover rates for new materials, and help get them
into users hands a little bit faster.
While overall procedures for deciding what to acquire and put on the shelves is being
ironed out, and doubts about being able to fund the project in the future have been raised,
the Express Books are popular with patrons, with books circulating 580 times up to
September 18.
2) The Serious Book Club met June 13. There were 6 attendees, and among the titles
presented were: Beethoven's Hair, by Russell Martin, The Meaning of Everything, by
Simon Winchester, and Hope in the Dark, by Rebecca Solnit. After a hiatus for the
summer, the club will reconvene in the fall.
Goal # 5: The Library will develop methods of measurement to evaluate the effectiveness
of library services and programs.
I) The Library circulation indicator continued to rise above 2005 levels for June and July,
by I % and 1.5% respectively. August numbers dropped off from 2005 by 2.6%
2) Comparative figures show that over 40% of the total borrowing from the library comes
from 2 areas, audio-visual materials (DVDs, CDs, audiobooks) and children's materials.
(A statistical report is attached.) These represent only 27% of the total collection, and
less that 17.5% of the total 2006 acquisitions budget.
3) Gail Matthews of Technical Processing has been tracking use made of materials from
the Southern Ontario Library Service DVD and multilingual pools. Each DVD circulated
an average of 9 times in a 48 days period. The least popular DVDs seemed to the old
classics: like Fantasia and Gone with the Wind (2 & 3 times) while Uptown Girls and
Dragonfly went out 16 times each. Foreign language videos/DVDs proved less popular,
with only 16 items (12 in Polish) circulating over the summer.
GOAL # 6 The Library will develop its on-line potential
1) The library's Advance automated management system will have been in place for 10
years this fall, and has not seen any new developments in a few years. After a period
years of losing users to other, newer systems, the company (formerly Geac, now Infor)
has brought a new system into the North American market called Vubis Smart. Vubis
Smart can fully integrate library operations with the internet, integrate records in a variety
of data formats and provide a host of capabilities we don't presently have.
I arranged for a demonstration ofVubis Smart to library staff, and people from the Orillia
Museum of Art and History and the Leacock Home, on July 27. The presentation by
Tom Hunt and Tamara Sears ofthis state-of-the-art system was received with interest by
staff. A number of the Ontario Geac Advance libraries, such as Lambton County, and
Niagara Falls are making the upgrade to the new system. Infor is offering very
favourable pricing for current Advance customers.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
FOR THE BOARD MEETING OF September 27,2006
It was a busy summer and the Directors have supplied summaries of the programs,
services and activities in their reports. I would only highlight the "Express Books" which
is a new service stemming from the work of the Circulation Committee. Of the many
positive stories that I was told I want to tell you about the Orillia resident who had been
using the Barrie Public Library and read about the Express Book Service in the local
paper. She brought a friend along and they both signed on as members because ".. .now I
don't have to wait to get the book I want"
GOAL #1
The Library will increase its size to meet the standards for the population
served.
Support the activities of the Building Steering Committee.
On July 29, 2006 Council supported the Board's request to hire Brian Jewitt to help the
Board and the Building Steering Committee as we progress toward a new building. Brian
has already been hard at work reviewing the previous studies and is working on a report
that reviews/critiques all of our previous studies.
GOAL #2
The Library will create and maintain lifelong relationships with users.
Develop and maintain programs associated with identified groups
Programmer Jayne Turvey and Information Services Director Lynne Gibbon have
submitted the Lifescapes Program for the Ontario Public Library Service Award. The
winner will be announced during the Ontario Library Super Conference awards banquet
in 2007.
'Expression through writing' has become a popular theme as the Federation of Ontario
Public Libraries has launched the "Telling Our Stories" contest where library users are
invited to tell how their local library has impacted their lives. The Orillia Public Library
will be one of the few libraries to be visited by Lieutenant Governor James Bartleman in
connection with the promotion of this contest.

Attention: Marilyn Pennycook, Clerk
RE: Essa Challenge 2006
Dear Marilyn,
Now that the hockey schedules are in order, we now have time to get back to thanking all of you for your
more than generous gifts donated to our Essa Challenge Golf Tournament held on July 24th, this summer.
We received over 100 prize donations! It really was an impressive display of kindheartedness from the
community for such a worthwhile cause. With your help, we were able to raise over $13,000.00, of which
we have forwarded all to the RVH Cancer Care Unit.
Next year we hope to raise even more for the RVH, and also hope to call on you for your continued
support once again.
Please accept our heartfelt appreciation for your generous contribution.
Sincerely,
()1~

Dear Mayor Craig:
Re: Request for Yellow Centerline (Directional Dividing Line) on Bass Lake
Side road between Highway 12 and Big Cedar Entrance
Thank you for your letter regarding the possible implementation of a yellow directional
dividing line on Bass Lake Sideroad between Highway 12 and Big Cedar entrance.
The Public Works Department has recently completed a city wide line painting inventory
and is in the process of updating the City's roadways in accordance with the Ontario
Traffic Manual, Book 11.
Bass Lake Sideroad from Line 15N to Atlantis Drive (formerly Harvie Settlement Road)
is a two-lane arterial road with an Annual Average Daily Traffic volume (AADT) of 1400
and a two-lane local roadway from Atlantis Drive to West Ridge Boulevard with an
AADT of 1100. The roadway classification and traffic volume govern whether or not a
directional dividing line should be implemented.
The Public Works Department has noted that a single solid yellow directional dividing
line is to be implemented on Bass Lake Side road between Line 15N and West Ridge
Boulevard in accordance with the Ontario Traffic Manual.
,
\
\
Unfortunately, this can not be implemented until the spring of 2007 when the rest of the
City's line painting commences.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 329-7246.

Re: Line Paintina - Bass lake Sideroad
Dear Ms. Lee:
At the Big Cedar Estate's Annual General Meeting, a request was put forth to ask that a
yellow centre line be painted on Bass Lake Sideroad from Hwy 12 to the Big Cedar
entrance. Council, at its regular Council meeting of September 6, 2006, deliberated this
matter.
Given that Bass Lake Sideroad is a shared road, Council would like to confirm whether
the City of Orillia is considering painting traffic lines on Bass Lake Sideroad. While the
Township understands the timeframe for such work has passed, I would request that
you communicate with Jerry Ball, Public Works Superintendent, regarding the possibility
of future line painting being done in partnership with the Township.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours truly,

4,1 Letters offntent from Architects
B. Molesworth informed the Board that a further submission was
received but came in at about $75,000.00
B. Molesworth asked those assembled to speak to 3 submissions.
C. Moore - Levitt Goodman was very modern looking. Liked the
Roth Knibb brick and stone work it looked like it would mesh.
Constrained by space we have to expand into (the footprint of the
building).
Lobko has a lot of awards and has done very interesting work in the
past. Good comparisons and more detail. It was pointed out, however,
that they have no previous Library building experience. B. Trounce
pointed out that Joe Lobko has handled some very interesting projects
in the past and provided some good comparisons and more detail that
the other two.

4. Business arising from the minutes - continued
C. Moore asked B. Molesworth for his opinion. He responded by saying
he had spoken to Stephen Langmead, one of the consultants that wrote
our needs assessment study, who has also seen the submissions.
Mr. Langmead believes that Joe Lobko has done the best and most
thorough job and his list of consultants are very good. He went on to say
that the Library consultant listed for Levitt Goodman does not have a
good reputation in Toronto. He has heard good things about Roth Knibb
because they are willing to "stick around and look after problems"
Roth Knibb has not provided a list of consultants and they should have.
B. Molesworth will ask them to provide this. The point was raised again
that they have no experience with Libraries. Mr. Langmead feels this
could be a good thing, as they will come in with no preconceived ideas
and will be more open to suggestions. The amount budgeted in the
Capital Budget is $18,000. Levitt Goodman and Roth Knibb would both
come in slightly over this amount. Joe Lobko is way over at $38,000.00.
B. Molesworth stated that a third of the money would come from
development charges. A. Campbell stated that he was leaning toward
Roth Knibb. B. Trounce articulated the concerns that Joe Lobko had
provided the best submission but that they were outside our price range.
G.A. Walker asked the Board if they thought we should have the two
within budget come and make a presentation to the Board.
Another point was made that the firm chosen to provide the drawings
would not necessarily be the architectural frrm that carries out the job.
This was made clear to those that submitted. B. Jeffery asked what the
cost would be for the whole project. B. Molesworth stated that an
amount arrived at in 1994 of$2 million dollars is probably more like
$4 million today. That amount would include furnishings, computers
etc. We would not be looking to Council for money until the 2008
budget year. B. Jeffery stated that he would prefer to have the two firms
Levitt Goodman and Roth Knibb come and make presentations to the
Board so that we can get a feel for personalities and how easy they are
to work with.

It was agreed that B. Molesworth would invite Levitt Goodman and
Roth Knibb to make presentations to the Board at a special meeting to
be held Tuesday, September 26, 2006 at 6:00 p.m.
4.2 Reading Series
B. Molesworth asked for the Board's response to his report and whether
we should undertake the series in 2007. There was a consensus that the
venue was not good. It was too noisy and cold. A smaller, cozier,
carpeted room would be better. Other comments were: that weekends
were too busy for people and that the readings should be held mid-week;
the reception is important but why do we need to have it catered; why
do we need alcohol; there were too many readings, only do 4 or 5; hold
one in the spring, 2 in the summer and 1 in the fall.
C. Moore, B. Desroches and A. Wilkes offered to help with providing
a punch and cheese and crackers next year.
The Board were unanimous in the decision to hold a Reading Series
next year.
4.3 E-Audio Books
B. Molesworth attended a meeting in Toronto about setting up a
consortium to purchase licensing for E-Audio Books. The start up cost,
at between $6,000.00 and $7,000.00 was seen by most as being
prohibitive. Only 6 or 7 Libraries were interested and will likely move
forward. It is too expensive for us, but B. Molesworth was speaking
with G. Hall, the Director of the Simcoe County Library, who may be
able to pay for the start up costs for all the Libraries in the County due
to the availability of development charge money. She will let us know.
4.4 Part-time temporary employee
Debbie Carrigan has been hired on a temporary basis to replace Sue
Hardcastle who is offfor knee replacement surgery.

A. Campbell distributed a Financial Statement for the period ending
August 31, 2006. Overall, the budget is on target for the year. The
Finance Committee report was adopted.
B. Molesworth informed the Board that the Tiny Township contract is
up for renewal. He and the Chief Librarian from Penetanguishene
Public Library have spoken about this and they will move forward. B.
Jeffery pointed out that Tiny should be paying a fee for every tax
paying household in the Township the same way Midland residents do,
to support the Library.
6.2 Strategic Planning Committee
Has not met, therefore, no report.
6.3 Fundraising Committee - CapitaJ/Corporate Campaign
B. Molesworth has asked Joe to refine the mailing lists so that there

B. Molesworth has only just returned from vacation and as Joe is away

June 8, 2006 Board meeting. The "Policies and Conditions of
Employment" and the "Operating Policies" have been reformatted with
a Table of Contents added and were brought forward to be signed.
Benefits
B. Molesworth reported on his discussions with Town of Midland
CAO, Fred Flood regarding benefits for regular part-time staff. F. Flood
still has concerns about setting a precedent and the potential cost to the
Town. He has suggested that the Library ask Council to make the part-
time staff at the Library full-time, which provides for benefits. There
are problems with this idea, some staff may not want to be full-time and
operationally it reduces flexibility in scheduling.
F. Flood has agreed to release the information that was asked for by the
Human Resources consultant B. Molesworth has spoken to.
B. Molesworth asked for the Board's direction. B. Trounce suggested
that Staffbe asked if they are interested in being full-time and also
pursue, as a parallel process, the investigation with the Human
Resources consultant. B. Molesworth will proceed-

There is $3,000.00 in this year's Capital Budget to purchase a
defibrillator. The Town, through the Health and Safety Committee, has
named the Library as one of the Departments that should have one. The
Simcoe County paramedics are promoting this. They will purchase the
same ones they use and train the Staff for free, so that there is a County
wide standard. We will move forward with the purchase.
7.2 Budget 2007
This item will be brought forward to the October Board meeting.
7.3 Town Survey on Loitering and Vandalism
B. Molesworth attended a meeting about the results of this survey.
Councillors Judy Contin and Gordon MacKay are engaging in further
study. The Library was not asked to participate in this survey. B.
Molesworth spoke with J. Contin to let her know that we have many of
the same concerns as the downtown merchants. He asked that she keep
the Library in the loop. The greater police presence has meant many of
the people that were loitering in front of businesses have now moved
into the parkette beside and behind the Library. B. Jeffery pointed out
that since the early 90's there have been no vagrancy laws. Many of
these people are mental health patients that have nowhere else to go.

that this pad can be used for an outdoor rink. Please ensure that this hope becomes reality and
that the rink is open as soon, and as much as possible with designated times for both shinny and
public skating. If an indoor rink is built it too should be open to the general public for both
shinny and public skating as much as possible. I also hope that as much of the park can be
preserved in as natural state as possible.
Please keep me posted on park plans and other opportunities for input.

Re: Plan 51M 723 BP#422-03 House Construction Edgar Estates
BP#400-05 Deck Construction
This letter is to thank Mike Divers, his site inspectors and administration staff of the building
department for their assistance in completing our two building projects. When there are
negatives we would surely tell you, therefore, when there are positives we should also tell you.
Such is the case here.
When our builder abandoned our project in the last month of construction in October 2003 and
other than completing thc majority of grading (June 2004), was no where to be found, the
assistance to us of your building department brought about the issuance of the final occupancy
certificate this month. Where the builders in our subdivision and some neighbours had nothing
but negative comments over the last 3 years about the building department, our experience has
been the direct opposite. Because of the attention to detail and direction given the builder by the
building department to ensure compliance, we feel we have a better house for it.
When planning our deck construction to be done by ourselves, the building department office
review and approval staff was very helpful in explaining the bylaw pertaining to deck
construction and responsive to the questions about details expected. The drawings were passed
with no changes required and there were no deficiencies upon final inspection. We understood
that if we approached the building department to ask for their assistance in ensuring compliance
with the building code. that it would make both our jobs easier resulting in a well constructed
project.
I do hope that all in council will be made aware of this letter and that it will be circulated to all
staff within the building department. Thank you for making our projects successful.

V HEARINGS
Part Lot 1, Concession 4
22869 Woodbine Avenue, Keswick, Town of GeorQina
The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 54-06-800 regarding the placement of fill at
the above noted location.
Staff advised that this could not be supported unless both the cut and fill are
performed at the same time. Staff's concern is if the fill is permitted without the
corresponding cut, properties located downstream could be negatively impacted.

Staff advised that they have met with York Region however the Region is not able
to comment on how much fill will be placed for their work and they are also not able
to advise when this work will be done.
Staff advised that there are other opportunities for the applicant within the area.
There are properties that can possibly be purchased in order to accommodate the
cut requirement. It is the applicant's responsibility to contact area landowners and
negotiate the cut.
The Board advised that the onus in on the applicant to work with the Region and the
area landowners to address the cut requirement. The Board recommended that the
applicant enter into negotiations with the Regional Municipality of York in relation to
their road work to widen Woodbine Avenue and the corresponding cut.
The Board further advised that should the applicant not be successful he can re-
appear before the Authority's Board for consideration of further options.

(b) Zephyr Peat Land Harvesting & Garden Depot
Lot 30 and 31. Concession 3, Townshio of UxbridQe
The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 55-06-BOD regarding the removal of peat
from the above noted location.
Staff advised that the application cannot be supported as the removal of peat may
change the water balance and have a negative impact on the surrounding wetland.
The representative for the applicant presented information to the Board of Directors
regarding the property in question. The Board was advised that: the lands are
cleared and therefore do not fall within the definition of a wetland as noted in the
Conservation Authorities Act. The representative further advised that the Authority
lacks jurisdiction to regulate lots 29 and 30 as they are not "regulated areas" as per
Ontario Regulation 179/06 s.21 (1 )(e) "grandfathered" areas of development.
The representative advised that Lot 30 does require a permit and further advised
that the landowner understands the regulation and that the landscape has changed
and has set a goal to move to aqua culture however this will take time.
The CAO thanked the representative for the presentation and clarified that the
landowner is prepared to seek a legal opinion should approval not be granted on the
areas identified. The CAO further advised that the Authority has not yet sought a
legal opinion and recognizes that it is crucial to do so. However, as the Authority's
legal counsel, Ken Hill is present, the CAO asked that he comment on what choices
the Board has in this regard.
Ken Hill, Hill Hunter Losell Law Firm, advised that some points regarding
interpretation of the regulation have been raised. However, as the identified
definitions have not been before the Courts, it is premature for the Board to
comment at this time. Mr. Hill indicated that it is certainly the applicants right to seek
legal clarification.
Staff advised that they are not contesting the issue around the wetland and further
advised that the Ministry of Natural Resources have been requested to re-stake the
area. The concern is not whether the wetland will be destroyed, it is already gone.
The concern is around the change in the water balance and water hydrology. The
surrounding area is wetland which comes under the Authority's regulation. Staff
have witnessed de-watering on site and are recommending that a hydrological
environmental study be undertaken by the applicant in order to determine if the
surrounding wetland is being damaged by drawing down the water. It was indicated
that there is very limited opportunity for regeneration of a wetland once standing

water is on it as it will then become a pond.
Councillor Susan Self, advised that the Township of Uxbridge currently has a Peat
Extraction By-Law which, based on the new regulations, may require some
modifications and updating. However, the property is question has been in business
since the 1940's and has gained both national and international respect for the
product coming out of this farm which employs twenty people. Councillor Self
respectfully asked the Board to consider allowing the Zephyr Peat Land Harvesting
business to continue operating over the next two months in order to extract the peat
before the ground freezes while having a parallel process in place recommending
the hydrological environmental impact statement be prepared and that the Ministry
of Natural Resources define the areas of wetland.
Based on the information received, the Authority's Board recommended, as per the
applicant's request, that the applicant seek clarification regarding the interpretation
of the Ontario Regulation 179/06 as it relates to "grandfathered" areas of
development as well as the definition of a wetland. Following that and dependant on
the results, the Board further recommended that the applicant have a hydrological
environmental impact statement prepared and Authority staff work with MNR to have
the property re-staked in order to identify the wetland. The Board further approved
the request for the applicant to continue peat farming at the location for the next two
months, which is dependant on the submission and approval of a detailed workplan
to Authority staff identifying the amount of peat to be extracted.
Ken Hill advised that if a conditional permit is issued for a limited time period, it
should be specific to the location and the extent of work approved.

VI DELEGATIONS
(a) Lot 4, Plan 543, Fairbank Avenue
Willow Beach. Town of GeorQina
The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 56-06-BOD regarding the above noted
location.
Staff advised they cannot support the application as there is a watercourse with a
drainage area of approximately 130 ha. flowing through the property and further that
the estimated flood depths during a regional storm event would be between .02 and
1.3 metres.
The applicant advised that the property was purchased in 1984 with the intention of
building on the lot once the municipal water and sewer were installed. This has now
been done however they are not able to get a permit to build due to the watercourse
running through the property. The applicant further advised that they have been
paying full residential property taxes on this lot since date of purchase.
Following the presentation, the Board advised that they cannot approve the
applicant's request to deviate from existing policy and further recommended that the
applicant work with the municipality directly in terms of resolving the property tax
concerns.

TOWNSHIP
Dear Mr. Craig,
The Ontario Harness Horse Association represents the owners, trainers, drivers and caretakers
of Standardbred racehorses in Ontario. We are an advocacy association, representing
horsepeople at all levels of government, a benevolent association for horsepeople in need, and a
trade association providing contracts and insurance programs that help ensure the viability of our
industry.
We have over 5,500 members at all 16 harness racetracks in the province. The industry provides
over 40,000 full-time and over 25,000 part-time jobs with $1.6 Billion in wages and salaries.
Overall, the horse racing and breeding industry - where horsepeople work - is credited with $2.1
Billion in recurrent expenditures each year. Most of this occurs in rural and agricultural Ontario.
In addition, governments receive close to $2 Billion from the industry, including about $190 Million
at the municipal level. This economic impact has been greatly fueled by the provincial
government's slots-at-racetracks initiative that started in 1999. We believe that this economic
impact is threatened by certain racetrack operators. Those tracks, and the horsepeople affected,
are in your municipality or in areas that border you. We ask for your support to help us stem this
challenge.
Let me start by reviewing the facts. Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (GCGC) is the owner
and operator of two racetracks in Ontario - Flamboro Downs in Dundas and Georgian Downs in
Inisfill. GCGC has applied to the Ontario Racing Commission (ORC) to operate 104 live race
days at Georgian Downs, a reduction of 16 days (13% fewer). For Flamboro Downs, it has
applied for a reduction of 52 days to 208 days (20% fewer). These are substantial reductions that
will not enhance live racing or benefit the rural and agricultural sectors in Ontario - these
reductions will likely do the opposite! The reductions are not part of a coherent plan to address
the short, medium or long-term challenges facing our industry.
In addition, GCGC reiterated its intention to close the backstretch at Flamboro, eliminating
stabling for about 700 horses and forcing over 200 trainers and caretakers to find new places of
work and about 40 people to find new places to live.
The reductions applied for at Georgian Downs and Flamboro Downs, and a separate reduction
proposed for Windsor Raceway, would result in 100 less live race days in Ontario. Based on the
average number of races per day and horses per race, OHHA estimates that this reduction would
result in a surplus of more than 400 racehorses in 2007 (200 in the Flamboro area, 70 at
Georgian Downs and 130 around Windsor).
Horsepeople have invested in, and developed, horses on the basis of the traditional race day
schedule in these areas. These unilateral reductions will have significant and negative economic
impact in the rural and agricultural sectors. In The Economic Impacts of Horse Racing and
Breeding in Ontario, 2004, prepared by Econometrics Research Ltd. for the Ontario
Government's Ministry of Public Infrastructure and Renewal, the average cost of production for a
Page 1013
\
Standarbred racehorse is calculated to be $51 Klyear with a multiplier effect of 2.27. By making
horses surplus, these reductions would represent a decrease of over $45Million/year in the
economic activity the Standardbred horse industry delivers in the areas around the affected
racetracks. As well, reduced live race days could result in reduced slot machine play due to
fewer visits to the tracks. Horsepeople, the provincial treasury and municipal coffers could all
receive less.
Our industry has benefited from a provincial tax reduction, in part designed to provide capital for
infrastructure improvements (including stabling on track), and from the-slots-at racetracks
initiative designed, in part, to provide track operators with the capital required to improve
infrastructure as live racing was being enhanced. Together, these two programs have provided
track operators with hundreds of millions of dollars. Now we have an operator claiming that it
does not have the financial wherewithal to undertake the infrastructure improvements to the
stabling area. Further, not only can it not afford the improvements, it believes the best decision is
to close the stabling completely. Rather than spend the money, provided for the improvements,
the company has decided to cut its costs and add both sums to its bottom line. Is this a
responsible use of the proceeds from the two programs? Is it ethically sound? Is it even legal?
The infrastructure costs, previously shared by horsepeople (through rent), and the track operator
for the stabling and housing, have now been unilaterally downloaded completely to the
horsepeople. My fear is that this closure will, as we have seen at other tracks in the province,
lead to an erosion of the fan and participant base for our sport. Backstretches had been closed at
Windsor and Western Fair Raceways prior to the slots initiative - these were actually cited as
examples of why our industry could benefit from the initiative. The backstretch colony is itself a
source of fans and a place where we can introduce new owners and new fans to the joys and
benefits of our sport. When closed, we lose fans and owners and we lose the opportunity to
attract new ones. We lose a tried-and-true opportunity to enhance the live racing industry.
The next step will be for the operator to further reduce live racing opportunities on the grounds
that it will be the financially "right" thing to do, because we have lost fans and participants. This is
not an operator adjusting to market conditions. This is an operator crafting market conditions to
suit an agenda that does not include the goal of enhancing live racing.
I, like GCGC, recognize the challenges facing live racing. My association is responding with
branding/marketing initiatives, youth and adult harness racing camps, and education and
research programs - through the University of Guelph's Equine Guelph - that are designed to
attract new fans and upgrade the skills of participants in the mid-to-Iong term. The recent
prosperity the slots initiative has brought to our industry has allowed horsepeople to make these
investments. We have traditionally relied on our partners - the track operators - to work with us
on these projects and to lead the short-term market responses required to ensure that we can
meet the longer-term goals. Frankly, these recent actions by GCGC seem to indicate that our
longer-term goals are not its goals and that the enhancement of live racing and the benefit of rural
and agricultural Ontario are not key to its business plan.
On behalf of horsepeople in Ontario I ask for your help and support. These proposed reductions
in live racing cannot happen unless the ORC approves the applications. My association will
oppose the applications and ask that our concerns be addressed by the ORC at a public hearing.
We shall ask that the ORC reject the applications and approve the standard racing schedules for
Flamboro Downs and Georgian Downs, as well as for Windsor Raceway.
We would appreciate you contacting Minister Phillips, in charge of the ORC, to urge him to
encourage his officials to hold the public hearings and to fully consider the position of the
horsepeople.
Further, we ask that you contact Minister Caplan, in charge of Ontario Lottery and Gaming, which
operates the slots at racetracks, to urge him to encourage his officials to remind Great Canadian
Page 2 of 3
.
Gaming Corporation of its responsibilities under the Site Holders Agreement to enhance live
racing.
We have, in the past, been supported by municipalities through resolutions passed by the
councils. The resolutions typically voice support for the position of OHHA and its members,
recognize the local economic impact from the horseracing industry, and ask the appropriate
governmental agency to act to ensure that horsepeople are heard and their position recognized.
would be happy to work with you on a resolution if you believe it may be useful.
Horsepeople are rightly worried and distressed by these actions and applications. You may well
hear from many of them. They will greatly appreciate any support you may be able to give.
Please do not hesitate to contact me (905 854-6442) or Jim Whelan, our President (519770-
5184), if you require further information or have questions regarding this request. We are more
than happy to meet with you at your convenience if you believe that would be helpful.
Yours truly,

Attn: Clerk, Mayor and Members of Council
Re: By-law No. 2006-105
We were advised Thursday October 26, 2006 by a letter from the township, hand delivered
after 5:00 p.m., that this matter would be presented to council in the meeting of
wednesday November 1, 2006.
With this short of notice we are unable to attend or to be represented.
We object to the by-law as proposed and ask that the matter be deferred to a later meeting
when we can be available for a deputation.
We note that the by-law has not been advertised in the Midland Free Press as stated in
schedule 'c' and the newspaper notification as shown refers to parts 1, 2/ 3 and 4. The
by-law deals with parts 1 and 4 only. Also the reference to registered plan 51R-34651 is
new information and we would ask for a copy.
