CORP. OF THE COUNTY OF SIM COE 02:14.03 p. m. 01 -03 -2007 3/5
Proposed County of Simcoe Landfill (Site 41)
In February 2004, the ECO received an application under the Environmental Bill of Rights
requesting that the Ministry of the Environment review the certificate of approval (C of A) — the
operating permit — for a proposed landfill site in Simcoe County.
The planned landfill, also known as "Site 41," is located near the Town of Midland. The
proposal involves landfilling on 21 hectares of land within a total site area of 60 hectares.
The applicants have questioned the appropriateness of developing Site 41 for two main
reasons. First, the applicants noted numerous technical issues raised in 2003 by the Ministry of
the Environment and several independent technical experts relating to the county's proposed
detailed design and operation parameters for the landfill. Second, because of impending
changes to Ontario law and policy related to source water protection, the applicants question
whether it is prudent to consider the landfill's development. MOE declined to undertake the
review. The ECO disagrees with that decision.
In 1979, a landfill search began for the North Simcoe area that led eventually to the
selection of Site 41. Part of that search involved investigating the expansion of an existing
landfill site (called the Pauze landfill). But the Pauze site was rejected because studies showed
that it was polluting the source of drinking water for the nearby Village of Perkinsfield. In fact,
Perkinsfield was provided with piped water due to the groundwater contamination. The Pauze
landfill is located in the vicinity of Site 41, contributing to the ongoing opposition to Site 41.
Following an environmental assessment (EA) approval process, a public hearing about
Site 41 was held under the Consolidated Hearings Act. in November 1989 the hearing
board decided not to approve the landfill site, but Cabinet overturned that decision in
June 1990 and required the hearing to resume. Following resumption of the hearing process,
the board approved Site 41 in 1995 and issued specific conditions in 1996. Two other legal
challenges made after the board's approval ruling were not successful. As a result, MOE issued
a C of A for Site 41 in April 1998, contingent on the ministry's satisfaction with an array of
technical provisions related to environmental protection that the county would submit in the
future. MOE would also have to issue several other environmental permits for landfill
development — stormwater management and site dewatering to allow for landfill construction.
In January 2003, the County of Simcoe provided MOE with more information about the
proposed landfill site's design and operation, and in March 2003, MOE responded with
comments on gull management at the site. The Nuronia Airport is only 6.5 km away from
Site 41, and Transport Canada's guideline recommends a distance of 8 km in order to
minimize the human safety risk of gulls colliding with aircraft.
In June 2003, MOE provided the county with a list of 81 additional comments on the
remainder of its January 2003 submission. The ministry was concerned about the need
for more assessment of the potential impacts of the landfill on a nearby creek. MOE
also urged the county to defer plans to place waste in the northwest corner of the
proposed landfilling area until more data were available, or to eliminate that part of
the site from the fill area. The ministry was also concerned about the potential impact
of off -site pumping of groundwater on the performance of Site 41's leachate collection
system. The landfill's design relies on pressure (called an "upward gradient ") from

groundwater below the proposed site to contain leachate, the contaminated liquid
produced by a landfill.
Also in 2003, a peer review by technical experts prepared for local concerned citizens and Tiny
Township, the host municipality, identified numerous issues relating to groundwater and surface
water protection. While these reviewers noted that the landfill site could be developed if those
concerns were addressed, the review comments pointed to the sensitive nature of the proposed
site: Site 41's characteristics would "require that more than usual precautions" be "undertaken to
design, construct and operate the Site in accordance with stated requirements" Concerns were
also expressed with the completeness of the information submitted for review: the "proposed
detailed design requirements for the construction of the landfill are inadequate to ensure the
appropriate environmental and engineering control during the active life of the landfill." The
applicants included a copy of both MOE and peer review comments as part of the EBR
application for review.
In declining the applicants' request for a review, MOE indicated that the county had
responded to many issues the ministry raised in 2003. However, MOE acknowledged that
follow -up reports remain outstanding on the following issues: gull management, surface water
discharge from landfill construction activities, and the capacity of local wastewater facilities to
accept leachate. The ECO notes that these matters remain unresolved six years after the C of A
established the information requirements.
Several key changes to Ontario's regulatory framework related to source water protection
remain on the horizon and partially formed the basis of the applicants' request for review. In
February 2004, MOE released a draft policy paper on source water protection to implement
recommendations made by Justice O'Connor in the Report of the Walkerton Inquiry. That paper
outlines the province's intent to develop source water protection legislation so that watersheds
across Ontario have plans in place to protect that water. In future, sound water management
decisions will be based on an understanding of the relationship between water quality, water
use, and conditions within the watershed, and effective protection programs will be built on
accurate and representative assessments of threats to the water source. The ministry also
proposes to strengthen its rules for approval of watertakings by the end of 2004. The ECO notes
that these new rules could have a bearing on the plans to dewater the site, necessary
for the construction of the landfill.
In denying the application, MOE told the applicants that a review of the C of A was
already under way and that undertaking the review would create a duplicate exercise.
MOE's narrow view is unfortunate. The ministry's consideration of the landfill's design
and operation focuses on specific technical factors. As well, MOE's intention to review
the C of A in light of existing policies, Acts and regulations does not address the applicants'
request that MOE broadly consider the merit of developing Site 41 in light of the impending
changes to Ontario's regulatory framework on source protection. The approach to source
protection being considered by MOE was not part of the ministry's approach to watershed
management in the mid -1990s when the hearing board issued its approval for Site 41, or in
1998, when MOE issued the C of A. Thus, the broader review requested by the applicant would
not constitute a duplicate exercise.
The ministry's denial of the application also stated that MOE consulted with the public,

especially the local community, on all ministry approvals related to the North Simcoe '
Landfill Site 41, and that MOE would continue to involve the public in the approvals
process. The ministry also noted that the public participated in the process to select the
landfill site, and in the subsequent hearing.
The ECO observes that many of the technical details related to the landfill's design and
operation were not available during the landfill siting process or at the hearing. due to
an exception found in s. 32 of the Environmental Bill of Rights, MOE is not required to
post proposal notices for these types of Cs of A, nor to explain publicly how it has addressed
any citizen concerns (see pages 52 -59 of this annual report for more detail). For information,
the public must rely on any forums organized municipally or by the community monitoring
committee — the "CMC," which is made up of several municipal representatives and citizens
living within three kilometres of Site 41.
As a related problem, the CMC alleges it was kept in the dark about the County of Simcoe's
plans to seek approval for a stormwater management system at Site 41. The county did
not provide the CMC with copies of the application documents sent to MOE in April 2003,
or with copies of correspondence between the ministry and the county relating to the
application. This communication continued until January 2004, when MOE issued an
approval under the Ontario Water Resources Act. A Registry notice would have provided
transparency and an opportunity for public input into another environmentally significant
aspect of the proposed landfill site.
The ECO believes that a broad review of the Site 41 C of A was warranted to increase
government accountability for environmental decision- making on this highly contentious
proposal. It would have been appropriate for the Ministry of the Environment to evaluate
the certificate of approval in light of the province's intention to strengthen source water
protection requirements.

Subject: Landfill Site 41
TO ALL MEMBER MUNICIPAL CLERK's AND CAD's -
The County has learned that the Federation of Agriculture has, or is going to request to make presentations to each local
municipality on the issue of Landfill Site 41. Unfortunately the Federation of Agriculture has not approached the County for
any information concerning Site 41. The County of Simcoe and the Province of Ontario are the two foremost authorities on
this issue and the County would like to ensure all municipalities and interested parties have all the factual information
necessary to be fully informed. We believe it is always in the public's best interest to openly share this factual information so
that the public is properly informed.
I would like to provide some details for you that hopefully will enlighten staff and councillors on the issue of Site 41.
First, the County of Simcoe considers many facets to an overall waste management solution for County residents. Waste
diversion is a significant part of that and we continue to educate residents about the necessity to reduce, reuse and recycle.
But as people continue to put garbage out at the curb, it falls to the County to dispose of that garbage. Simcoe County
actually has an outstanding track record in waste management and diversion tactics and this has been recognised by other
peer governments who have come to study some of our techniques. Notwithstanding, there is much to do and Simcoe County
is always open to investigation of new technologies and whether they can fit into our specific waste handling system.
Landfill Site 41 is so-called because effectively 40 other locations in north Simcoe had been evaluated and this site is
considered the most suitable and protective. It has naturally occurring protection in the form of significant upward water
gradients and a dense clay bed. The site also has engineered protection in the form of a leachate collection system and an
engineered plastic liner which was, when approvals were contemplated, not a requirement because of the significant natural
protection. All in all, this will be developed to be one of the safest sites in all of Canada. Site 41 has been studied, tested and
analysed for 20 years. Engineers hired by the County and those hired by Site 41 opponents have studied the technical
requirements and all engineers have concluded the same thing: the site can be developed to be protective of resources.
Site 41 is fully approved by the Ontario Ministry of Environment. Environment Assessment and Environmental Protection
Act approvals preceded the Ministry of the Environment's final approval.
One of the many disturbing inaccuracies that has been publicly discussed, is that of the quality of the water in the vicinity of
the site. While it appears to test very low for certain metals when sampled from natural flows, studies and ongoing testing of
water at this site continuously confirm that the water does NOT consistently meet Ontario Drinking Water Guidelines as
established by the Province of Ontario.
To the point, regardless of the quality of the water, Site 41 would be built to be safe and protective of the environment and all
water resources. The Ontario government and its very strict water quality standards agrees, as evidenced by the full Ministry
of Environment approval.
Attached are a few documents that will hopefully be helpful as well. Also, please follow these links to our Site 41 Updates

Why Landfill Site 41 is Required
Lack of Disposal Capacity for North Simcoe Impacts Other Communities
MidhursU October 20, 2006 — Pressure on existing County landfills would be relieved significantly by the opening
of County Landfill Site 41. Communities in Simcoe County that have been accepting residential waste from the
north Simcoe area have had their own facilities impacted because there has not been a local waste disposal
solution in the north Simcoe area.
Approximately 15,000 tonnes of residential and commercial waste requiring disposal is produced annually by Tiny
Township, Tay Township, Midland and Penetanguishene. Tonnage statistics for 1995 to present indicate how
much waste has been transported to other Simcoe County communities:
COMMUNITY
LANDFILL SITE
TONNAGE FROM NORTH SIMCOE
Wasaga Beach
Site #15
124,000 tonnes
Nottawasa a in Clearview
Site #10
23,800 tonnes
Elmvale in S rin water

Site #9

Site #2

Ves ra in S rin water
Site #14
1 100 tonnes
Total 170,200 tonnes
"I think it demonstrates the point well to note that had the Wasaga Beach landfill not received north Simcoe waste,
the Town of Wasaga Beach landfill could have had an additional 35 years of disposal capacity based on current
town volumes," stated Warden Terry Geddes. "In 2005, Wasaga Beach produced only 3,500 tonnes of residential
waste. From 1995 to 2003, the Wasaga Beach landfill accepted 124,000 tonnes of waste from Tiny Township,
Tay Township, Midland and Penetanguishene which resulted in the premature closing of this site.
"Of course none of that disposal volume would have been available at all, if the County had not been so
successful in its landfill site remediation efforts since assuming responsibilities for waste management."
Not only has the north Simcoe waste impacted other areas it has done so at an increased cost to these residents.
Because this waste has been transported to out-of -area waste facilities, additional transportation and handling
costs exceeding $5 million in the last 10 years were incurred by the taxpayers of north Simcoe.
The final approval from the Ministry of Environment is further evidence that Site 41 is not a technical debate. EA
and EPA approvals were granted in 1995. The County's designs for Site 41 have been scrutinized by the Ministry
of Environment and several independent engineers. All professional studies and reviews conclude that Site 41
can be developed to be protective of the environment including water resources.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Landfill Site 41 Receives Final Ministry Design Plan Approval
Midhurst/October 20, 2006 - Notice has been received from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment that the
County of Simcoe has, through an amended Certificate of Approval, been granted final approval for the Design
and Operations Plan for Landfill Site 41.
This approval indicates that the County's plans, which were subject to independent peer reviews and significant
input from various sources, meet the Ministry of Environment strict requirements for environmental protection.
This final approval is further to the 1995 Environmental Assessment Act and Environmental Protection Act
approvals that this site had already received.
"Each step in the process has received Ministry approval," stated Warden Terry Geddes. "The continued
Provincial approval for this facility, particularly given the high level of scrutiny and study that has been part of this
process, is undeniable evidence that this site can and will be developed to be protective of the environment.
"The debate on Site 41 is not a technical debate. Although many residents have been given that impression
through the misinformation that continues to be perpetuated on this project, it is simply not the case. The Province
has stated that Site 41 meets all current legislation and their final approval has apparently also considered the
`proposed' Clean Water Act. This is a viable solution'.
Commenting about the pressure on existing landfills in the County that take waste from north Simcoe, Warden
Geddes indicated that it should be a concern of residents in those areas because their capacity is being depleted.
"The fact is the capacity of County landfills has been decreasing significantly faster than it should because of the
lack of a local disposal solution for Tiny Township, Tay Township, Midland and Penetanguishene," stated Warden
Geddes. "We've maintained an honourable position by keeping our own residential waste within County borders
and not making our waste another jurisdiction's issue. The approval for Site 41 now provides a local disposal
solution for the north Simcoe area which has for many years been exporting its waste to other County
communities including Clearview, Wasaga Beach, Oro- Medonte and Elmvale."
The County will continue its responsible efforts in increasing waste diversion and implementing other aspects of a
total waste solution on behalf of its residents. Disposal, although not always politically popular, is an important
part of any waste management handling system and requires planning and development for the long term.

County Praised for Waste Reduction Practices
Simcoe County Receives Certificate from Recycling Council of Ontario
MidhursV October 25, 2006 — Simcoe County has again received praise from the Recycling Council of Ontario at
the annual Waste Minimization Awards Banquet for its successful efforts in waste diversion. Presented in Toronto,
the Award of Merit recognizes the significant diversion efforts by the County of Simcoe in 2005.
The category of "Municipal Award" recognizes those municipalities that divert a significant percentage of waste
from disposal through reduction, reuse and recycling initiatives. This is the third year in a row that the County of
Simcoe has been recognized for its practices in waste management. Over 35,900 tonnes of waste were diverted
from landfills, a 4.4% improvement over the previous year.
Since assuming responsibility for waste management from the municipalities in 1990, the County of Simcoe's
waste management strategy has included standardization of curb -side waste collection services, implementation
and promotion of waste diversion initiatives and landfill remediation programs.
Diversion techniques employed by the County include blue and grey box recycling efforts, leaf and yard waste
composting operations, household hazardous waste drop -off locations and landfill diversion programs such as the
organics collection pilot program and tire and scrap metal recycling. The County has undertaken major landfill
remediation at five landfills including Site #11 in Oro - Medonte where the County is spending more than $13
million over six years to correct issues it inherited upon assuming responsibility for waste management.
"We know that the County has been making huge gains in the area of waste diversion and our thanks goes to the
residents who have adopted the diversion programs that the County has created," stated Warden Terry Geddes.
"But the message is simple: we all create waste and it has to go somewhere so the more responsible we become,
the more we help our own environment.
"When we drop our garbage at the curb for pick up, the garbage doesn't simply disappear. We all need to
remember that its disposal comes at a cost. In Simcoe County, our residents are making great strides to reduce
waste and divert recyclables and organics to the right place, but we are still sending 65% of our garbage to
landfills."
Although recycling efforts by County residents are improving, landfills are still a required component of any waste
management strategy. In this regard, the preservation of existing landfill capacity is equally important as the
development of new capacity such as Site 41.
The County of Simcoe is composed of sixteen member municipalities and provides crucial public services to
County residents in addition to providing paramedic and social services to the separated cities of Barrie and

County Waste Reduction Success
Well Done County Residents!
The residents of the County of Simcoe,
because of your efforts, won the Recycling
Council of Ontario Waste Minimization
'Bronze Award' for 2004 as well as the 2004
'Most Improved Municipality' Award.
The County reported overall curbside and
facility waste diversion for 2005 as 35 %, up
from H% in 2004. In 2005, the Countv of
Sirocco, was again the recipient of the 'Bronze
Award'.
As part of the overall plan to manage your
waste, the County is striving to further increase
diversion, however landfill remains an
important and necessary component of any
overall waste management plan. The successes
of the past few years are extremely
encouraging; let's keep working together to
build upon them,
Keep up the good work!
Waste reduction is working in Simcoe
County and residents deserve
congratulations on a job well done. The
success to -date is being recognized not just
by the County of Simcoe, but by the Province
as well. But greater efforts are still needed,
Residential waste collected from
curbside was reduced in 2005 by over 6,700
metric tonnes or approximately 12% compared
with 2004. At the same time the curbside blue
box program saw an increase of approximately
9% in the amount of recyclables collected.
This was a result of the implementation of
standardized collection service levels
throughout the County- the 2 bag limit for
waste and standardization of acceptable blue
box materials.
Further increases in the "capture rate" of
blue box materials are expected as the County
continues to standardize collection services
by implementing weekly recycling collection
in all of its member municipalities.
Implementation is expected to be complete

Other Waste Diversion Programs
In addition to curbside collection
programs, the County has further diversion

• Leaf and yard waste composting facilities
• Household hazardous waste facilities
• Tire, scrap metal and brush diversion

Waste Solutions in County
County Council believes in a "made -in
Simcoe County" solution when it comes
to waste management. County Council
endorses a "no importation or exportation
of waste" strategy.
While there are many elements to an
overall waste solution for the County, there
is still a requirement for landfill capacity.
Even disposal reduction techniques which
have been investigated, such as incineration,
require landfill capacity to dispose of the
estimated 30% (by weight) of non -
combustibles and ash generated. This does
not include non- incinerable waste disposal
requirements.
As the County's existing landfill sites
approach their capacity, their eventual closure
means that the burden on the remaining
facilities is increasing dramatically.
The Waste Management Sub- Committee
is responsible for reviewing long term waste
management options as well as development
of new initiatives to reduce waste disposal
within the County. New and future diversion
initiatives under review and/or implementation
include:

• Intensified curbside recycling

• Expanded diversion through yard waste,
brush and wood waste programs
• Drywall, shingle, balewrap, and
electronics diversion programs at some
County waste management facilities
• Recommendations on programs beyond
municipal control such as container
packaging and deposit refund programs
What does the Future Hold?
®Tackling Packaging
Everyone creates garbage. The reality
is that today's consumer- driven society
produces significantly more waste per
capita than ever before.
Leadership in tackling the packaging
waste that fills our landfills starts with each
of us. Pressure is required provincially in
order to reduce the packaging at the source
and have manufacturers contribute to the
solution.
Safe Landfills
The County of Simcoe inherited waste
management responsibility in 1990. Since
that time significant steps have been taken
to improve the operations and safety of the
existing landfill sites. Many landfills
required remedial work in order to
bring them up to the standards s'of by the
Ontario Ministry of the Environment. New
provincial landfill standards and are designed
to be protective of the environment.
Standardized Collection
Steps have been taken to standardize
service levels and at the same time encourage
waste reduction. Last year the County
implemented a two bag limit for curbside waste
resulting in a reduction in disposal of
approximately 12% over the previous year.
County Council has directed that weekly
curbside collection of blue box material should
be implemented as collection contracts are
renewed. Recent changes from to-weekly to
weekly blue box collection, has resulted in
significant increase in the capture rate of
recyclables.
Centralized Recycling Process
County Council has directed staff to
develop an Integrated Waste Management
Facility(IWMF). The benefits of such a facility
are many. These include control over
processing and marketing of materials which
could open the door to the recycling of other
materials as well as kitchen organics being
composted to make a valuable soil additive
instead of being landfilled. This is correctly
done in the County's pilot program in
Adjala- Tosorontio.
This pilot project has been a resounding
success. Last year the blue box and organics
program resulted in over 50% diversion from
landfill. The program has a one -bag limit per
week for garbage and utilizes a green bin in
which residents can place food scraps including
fruit and vegetable peels, meat and bones,
bread, rice and pasta as well as tissue paper,
coffee grounds and filters.
Implementation of an 1WMF program
County -wide would have a positive effect on
the remaining landfill capacity within the
County and would be an important part of our
waste management strategy.

Mr. McCullough.
Reducing the amount of waste you
generate is the most desirable form
of waste reduction. Here are some
ideas to help you start REDUCING:
Refuse to purchase items that have
excess packaging. Buy products
that are packaged in recyclable or
refillable containers.
Refuse excess wrapping or
additions to your purchase (i.e. bags,
extra napkine, boxes).
Use reusable lunch containers and take
home complagable materials
Avoid single -use product— buy items
that are durable and king lastmg. Also
avoid disposable producs; use rechargeable
batteries and reusable razors, etc,
whenever possible.
Buy household products in bulk and refill
your smaller containers.
After spring dealing, have a yard sale or
donate to a charitable organization.
Re -use the produas you buy. Not only will
you decrease the garbage you produce, you
will save the row materials needed to
replace the item you are throwing away.
Here are Anne ideas to help you start.
RE -USING TIPS:
• Borrow, rent, or share items when
you can.
• Repair goods when possible.
• Correct local charmirde organizations for
information on dooming reusable items.

precede Provisional Certificate of Approval
The search for a suitable municipal landfill site for residents of Tiny Township, Tay Township,
Midland and penetanguishene has been ongoing since 1979. Although a provisional Certificate of
Approval (C of A) for the Site was issued in 1998, construction of this important landfill has yet
to begin. The following is a chronological history of Site 41.
1979 1979 -85
The search for a new
landfill site begins.
The objective was to
locate an area which
would negate off-site
effects on ground
water resources,
known as a natural
containment site.
Page 2
Numerous sites are investigated,
with candidate areas identified.
1986
Site 41, a 20.7 hectare (50.acre) parcel in
Tiny Township, is selected as the preferred
site through an 'optimization' process that
evaluates each location on a set of 20
technical criteria such as hydrogeology, traffic
and economics. A detailed hydrogeological
study, examining sub - surface soil and water
conditions, is carried out al 41.
1989
After reviewing the site
selection process as well as
results from the
hydrogeological studies, the
Ministry of the Environment
concurs with findings
favourable to Site 41 and the
application for a landfill site
is referred to a Joint Board
Hearing. The Board sat for
70 days during 1989,
1990
While the Joint Board agreed that Site 41
was hydrogeologically suitable for a
landfill, the Based indicated the site
selection process was deficient Guidelines
governing the site selection process had
changed during the late 1980s.
The Ontario Cabinet agrees that the County of
Simcce should have an opportunity to address issues
surrounding the site selection process.

Additional candidate landfill sites
are evaluated under the new
guidelines to determine if they
are comparable to Site 41.

Since taking over respomibility
*.d}
for waste management, the County
has been involved in a member of landfill
conciliation projects to clean
up and ressore existing landfills -
The process is expensive and time
consuming.
Dave Silk, opemteas manager for
the ongoing remediation of Site 11,
says the County is spending about
$13 million over six years to remedete
the site after discovering contaminants
were e,.p,eg tram the landfill.
The project bivalves construction
of three new landfill cells, built w today's
standards with lately and leachate
collection systems. The hat cell has
been in operation for three years and is
almost filled. The second cell is currently
under ex mmrction.
"We a aeons, waste from the old
landfill cells and screening the waste to
ve din," explains . ns M Silk_
m "Once
the waste has been screened, it
is deposited inro the newly co murcted
engineered cell which has a liner and
leachate collection system. It is the right
thing to do for the long t,.'
Waste diversion success won't overcome need for landfill
Waste reduction, reuse and recycnng
are key pieces in the County of Simc.v,
waste- management puzzle.
A pilot project in Adjala -Topr omm, a municipality
of about 10,000, is successfully demonstrating the
ability to sheen waste from landfill. In 2003,
residents diverted more than 50 per cent of their
waste from landfills through an aggressive program
that accepts a wider variety of blue box items as
well as kitchen organics.
That divasbn cote is ogntFicauthe better than
other areas in the county.
'The program has been operating for about
two years and the results are pretty amazing;' s
Arleta Tosorontio Mayor Tom Walsh - "Our
resident, are now putting out one bag of garbage
or less each week," (See photo on page I;_
Residents separate their waste into four
components each week
• Black box —fibres icommon, paper and cardboard.
• Blue box— plastic, cans, glass and aluminum.
• Organics — kitchen waste .
• Non - recyclable waste.
Mayor Walsh says he is confident the program
can achieve even better results - "Officially, our target
is to reach a diversion rate of 60 per cent by 2008,
bur 1 believe we can take that to 70 per cone That
takes a lot of pressure off our landfills, helping to
extend their useful lifetime"
Rob McCullough, Manager of Environmental
Services for the County of Seattle, says that the
County is dectruping an Integrated Waste
Management Facility (1 W MF) in order to expand
the successful Adele Tomompo pilot project to the
rest of the County.
Commonly asked
questions about Site 41 landfill
In Ackela Tosoronn., the composting function is
being handled under contract with Mile, Waste
Systems, a Markham -based company that specializes
in
waste diversion initiatives.
'This pilot protect clearly demonstrates that a
community can manage its waste more effectively
with the active parocipaton of its residents,' notes
Me McCullough. 'The key to making it work on a
broader base is doencpmem of a centralized facility
JWMF) for receiving and sorting the expanded range
of recyclable, and then finding markets for them.
'This facility would also receive organic waste for
composting. The compost can be used by the County
or
marketed as a garden supplement"
Mr. McCullough notes that County -wide
rapiememation of the Adjala- Temoontio pilot project
should be complete within tax next three years
'This program is important to out waste- management
strategy, but even when successfully
implemented there will remain
a need for landfill"
A Community Monitoring Committee has been established as a requirement of the Certificate of Approval to represent
community interests surrounding the Site 41 landfill. The committee generally meets on the second Thursday of every month

Simcoe County Federation of Agriculture
Presenter: Stephen Ogden
SCFA Reps for Oro- Medonte Members: Kirsten Ego Simcoe East,
Allen Ball
The members of the Simcoe County Federation of Agriculture would like to congratulate
the returning and newly elected members of Council. We would also like to thank you for
making the commitment to our community.
As a member municipality of the County of Simcoe, our Mayor and Deputy Mayor will
be asked to turn their minds to a number of issues at the County level. Of the many
concerns that will be addressed at the County level of government over the next 4 years,
perhaps none is as complex as waste management in general and Site 41 specifically.
We would like to take this opportunity to provide background information for all
members of Council so that you may discuss the many relevant issues before your Mayor
and Deputy Mayor vote on these matters at the County.
In the early 1980's, the municipalities of North Simcoe (Midland, Penetanguishene, Tay
and Tiny Townships) began the search for lands on which to develop a replacement
landfill site. A new landfill was required as the Pauze Landfill site in Tiny Township had
released a toxic plume of leachate and contaminated the water supply for the Hamlet of
Perkinsfield.
Following a site selection process, Site 41 was brought forward for consideration by way
of an Environmental Assessment ( "EA "). After a long hearing process that was
commenced in 1989, Site 41 was rejected and the selection process was invalidated. An
Order- in- Council issued by the Provincial Cabinet in 1990 overturned that decision and
the Joint Board was compelled to grant approval for Site 41 under the Environmental
Assessment Act in 1995. The Joint Board's approval ( "EA approval ") was granted subject
to conditions released by the Joint Board in 1996.
The Ministry of the Environment issued Provisional Certificate of Approval #A253106
(now #A620278) in 1998. In the intervening years, the County of Simcoe has been
engaged in a process to develop an acceptable Design and Operations Plan for the site.
On October 20, 2006, the Director of the Ministry of the Environment, through an
amended Certificate of Approval, granted final approval for the Design and Operations
Plan for Site 41.
The MOE's acceptance of the Design and Operations Plan submitted by the County
should not be considered an endorsement of Site 41 nor should it be viewed as a
Provincial initiative as has been suggested The Director's decision merely
acknowledges that the plan, in theory, is in compliance with the relevant legislative
requirements. It is important to recognize that the entire project is based on a conceptual
model; a model that some experts have suggested is fundamentally flawed.
Notwithstanding the Director's approval, The County of Simcoe, as proponent and
recipient of the Certiftcate of Approval, is solely responsible for the decision to
continue pursuing Site 41 as a landfill operation.
Previous County Councils have developed a waste management policy that dictates waste
will neither be imported nor exported beyond the County's boundaries and that thermal
reduction technologies or incineration will not be considered as options. A few may see
this policy as "honourable ", but many others see it as irresponsible. The embedded
assumptions in this policy direction must be reviewed before we commit to a plan
involving the expenditure of millions of limited taxpayer dollars. The proposed Site 41
development, as a condition of the Certificate of Approval, will only be accepting waste
from the four North Simcoe municipalities and will do nothing to address the growing
waste management concerns throughout the rest of the County.
Before our County Council representatives make their choice, there are many key
questions that must be answered, among them are;
Is it economically and environmentally responsible to develop waste management
facilities throughout individual regions when perhaps one facility could operate with
greater efficiency and less environmental impact? The Regions of York, Durham, Halton,
Peel, and Hamilton/Niagara, along with the City of Ottawa have sought to resolve their
problems jointly and cooperatively.
If the County of Simcoe is intent on land filling as the primary means of waste
management, how can they justify spending approximately $130 /tonne when other
landfill options are available for about $75 /tonne. Even more puzzling is how this
wasteful spending has been characterized as being honourable. Through the review
process, we have learned that more than usual precautions will be necessary at site 41 to
ensure environmental controls during the active life of the landfill.
Is it responsible for the County of Simcoe to exclude thermal reduction technologies from
the list of available options when considering waste management? (It is the position of
the Ministry of the Environment that both landfilling and incineration options be
2
available for consideration so that local governments can develop the best environmental
solution to meet their needs.)
Is it advisable to develop a landfill on a site that will create an exposure pathway to our
aquifers? Aquifers which flow some of the purest water on this earth.
Is it wise to pursue the development of Site 41 when other more suitable sites may exist?
When the question was put to Mr. Doug Jagger, Simcoe County's consulting engineer on
Site 41, "If the site selection process were to begin anew today, would the conclusions be
the same ?" Mr. Jagger responded that it would be unlikely that site 41 would be the
preferred location.
Does it make any sense at all to remove prime class 1 and 2 farm lands from production
not just in the short term but for decades to come, well into the next century?
Is it fair to area farmers that the County limits farmer's ability to take water for crop
irrigation? Without benefit of irrigation, it is virtually impossible for farmers to produce
vegetable crops. Shouldn't we be using our water resources to grow food rather than float
garbage?
Is it prudent to develop a landfill within 8 kilometres of a regional airport? (If the
Huronia Regional Airport had a greater number of civil aviation flights, development of
Site 41 would be barred by regulation.) While the matter may not be regulated, given the
flight volume, it does establish a reasonable standard of care (due diligence). With this
standard in mind, is the County knowingly and negligently creating a dangerous situation
if development of site 41 goes ahead? In addition, if the development goes ahead, will it
prevent future growth of the Huronia Regional Airport?
Is this proposed development truly protective of the environment?
We know with certainty that landfills emit high levels of methane, a greenhouse gas that
is 23 times more damaging to the environment than carbons and we also know that Site
41, if developed, will have no gas collection system whatsoever!
Is it prudent to endanger the water supply for yet another Tiny Township Hamlet?
We know that even the best liner and leachate collection systems will eventually fail due
to natural deterioration over time. What we don't know is whether the alleged natural
containment features of site 41 will continue to be present throughout the contaminating
life of the dump.
,a
r
Is it appropriate to take a piecemeal approach to waste management in the County
without having an overall plan in place to address the likely Industrial, Commercial and
Institutional ( "ICI ") waste concerns, and certain and substantial growth in Simcoe?
We know that when Michigan landfill sites are closed to the flow of Canadian waste
streams, the closures will impact thousands of tonnes of ICI waste presently being
shipped from the member municipalities of Simcoe County. While ICI waste is not
currently a County responsibility, in a very short time these ICI taxpayers will be looking
to their local governments for solutions and what answers will we have for them? The
answers won't be found in the development of Site 41. The ICI waste stream, following
recycling efforts, could very well provide an additional feed stock useful in producing
energy from waste.
The answers to these questions and many more must be reviewed by our County Council
prior to any development.
Our County Council has a fiduciary responsibility to thoroughly review these matters and
to conduct a business case so that Council can develop a fact driven point of view.
For too long, these questions have gone unanswered. The information presented to our
County representatives has been biased, designed to support only one point of view.
As farmers and stewards of the land, we ask that our elected representatives discuss and
answer these questions prior to any development at Site 41.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

RE: Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Semi - Annual Report
ORO-MEDONTE
Further to Clause 4 of the Accountability Policy for Municipal Agencies, the Lake Simcoe Regional
Airport has prepared a review of the past years' activities, for your perusal. At the February 2007
Commission meeting, a final review of 2006 financials and approval of the 2007 Airport Budget will be
completed and the necessary request(s) will be submitted to Councils.
The following notes relate to the report.
a) The Airport Commission is anticipating to conclude fiscal 2006 with an estimated operating
surplus of $20,000.00.
b) Fuel sale volumes to jet and turbine aircraft using the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport have
maintained relatively unchanged compared to fiscal 2005 year -end figures, showing a modest
increase. Comparatively, ramp charges and landing fees to the same segment has increased by
approximately 15% compared to fiscal 2005.
c) The airport continues to see a positive rate of growth in the commercial- corporate segment of
business. In addition to increased usage from the commercial /industrial sector of Simcoe
County, the airport continues to experience increased usage from Casino Rama entertainers,
Ministry of Health air ambulance flights, as well as seasonal vacationers and cottagers. In fact,
Casino Rama considers the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport as the airport of choice for any of the
entertainers using air transportation.
d) The airport is pleased to confirm that the construction of a new 12,000 sq. ft. dedicated facility
for Hydro One Helicopter Networks has begun. The facility has an anticipated completion date of
Spring 2007 and will house the provincial headquarters of Hydro One's helicopter operations.
Weatherwise Aviation has undertaken to and been selected by Hydro One for the design and
construction of the facility.
e) Notwithstanding the ongoing delay's in further construction activities while the airport fire
suppression requirements remained under review (stemming from Township of Oro - Medonte
Building /Fire Department mandated requirement), Weatherwise Aviation maintains a keen
interest in continued developments at the airport not only to include further commercial hangar
development activities, but also potential recreational hangar developments. To that end, during
the June 15, 2006 meeting, the Commission ratified motion 2006 -AC -36 whereby the
Commission supported an initiative to proceed with resolving the long -term fire
suppression /water supply issue and commit to the required funding in future Capital budgets to
construct the works in phases, as required.
f) The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission is pleased to have had the opportunity to
present the confidential document "Building a Business Case for Development" to the member
municipalities in the first half of fiscal 2006. The received support from the municipalities and
formal endorsement of this document is pivotal in advancing the airport's Capital works program
and in attracting further commercial and industrial based tenants to the Lake Simcoe Regional
Airport, ultimately creating a fledging aerospace industry business park environment.
g) The Lake Simcoe Regional Airport was pleased to partner with Canadian Forces Base Borden
and be host to various air show acts participating in the Armed Forces Day and Air show
weekend this past June. The airport was the main staging ground for the world renowned
Canadian Snowbirds as well as the CF -18 Hornet demonstration team to which the airport
provided ground support, emergency staging area and re- fuelling services. The airport was
pleased to learn of the Base Commander's recent decision and endorsement of a similar event
scheduled for June 2008, to which the airport will once again provide support services.
The foregoing information is for your perusal. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to contact the undersigned at (705) 487 -0999.
Sincerely,
Lak a Regional Airport

TOWNSHIP
I am writing to introduce myself and to advise you of some of the changes to the
structure of Emergency Management Ontario (EMO) that have resulted from an internal
Program Review, that will change the way in which our services are provided in some
Ontario municipalities. As you are aware, EMO undertook a full review of our
organization over the past eighteen months in the interest of defining how we may best
meet the needs of the residents of Ontario and our stakeholders. A key element of this
review was an analysis of how we provide advice and assistance to the municipal sector
in implementing and maintaining the regulated emergency management programs that
are required under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act and the
associated Ontario Regulation 380104. This analysis was undertaken in consultation
with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, which included the Association of Ontario
Municipalities, as well as municipal emergency management and public safety officials.
As a result of this review, EMO will be adding more Field Officers to our current staffing
profile, and increasing the number of our sectors from twelve to fourteen. We have also
added two Program Managers who will provide field program oversight. This
restructuring, which will come into effect January 1, 2007, will reduce the number of
communities serviced by individual Field Officers, and provide greater access to EMO's
services for municipalities. Our field staff will also become part of a new EMO section,
to be named Program Delivery, which in addition to working directly with communities,
will in future assist in coordinating liaison between municipalities and other provincial
ministries, First Nation communities, the private sector, and the federal government
including the Department of National Defence.
I am attaching for your information a map that depicts the outline of our new sector
structure. I am also enclosing a copy of our revised staffing list, which indicates the
D•
names and contact information for our field staff, as well as a listing of the
municipalities that they will serve. You will note that all of our sectors have received
new names and all but one, reflect new boundary alignments. As a result of this
realignment, some communities will be served by new Field Officers so it is important
that this information be shared with local emergency management officials and
municipal first responders within your jurisdiction.
EMO shares with its municipal partners, the vision of creating an Ontario of safe,
secure, and disaster - resilient communities. We believe that this restructuring,
together with the incremental staff that have been added will help us to achieve this
objective.
I look forward to the opportunity of meeting with many of you over the next few
months to discuss how we may continue to move forward together.
Sincerely,
r� fi

Members of Council: Re: Township Road Conditions
t APXY .
Dear M cil:
LPN � 9 tpol
OtANIF
First, I would like to congratulate each of you on your recent election victory. I
appreciate the time you take to manage the affairs of our Township.
Second, for those of you, whom I have not met, I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Doug Speers and my wife Kathy and I reside at 5236 Line 11 North,
approximately I kilometer south of the Moonstone Road. We have owned this property
since 1992.
I am a registered Professional civil engineer and have considerable experience
within large Canadian corporations. Normally I do not complain about things but the
absolute deplorable state of our concession road has compelled me to write this letter.
As I mentioned above, we purchased this property in 1992 and the condition of
Line 11 North is the worst that I can recall. During the same time frame our taxes have
risen from less than $1000.00 per year to more than $3600.00 per year as a result of
improvements to our property; market based assessment, and general inflationary
increases. In the last 15 years, the Township has made little or no investment (other than
maintenance) in upgrading Line 11 North. Quite honestly the current condition of our
road is an embarrassment to me and to my neighbors.
A number of factors have contributed to these road conditions. Approximately 2
years ago the road was top dressed with badly needed gravel. Unfortunately the aggregate
that was applied was not of high quality and contained a high percentage of "fines" (the
small clay particles that should be removed from gravel prior to being used on roads).
These "fines" migrate to the surface causing very dusty conditions in the summer and
sloppy conditions during the wetter fall, winter, and spring months. To make matters
worse, as you know, oil was applied to our roads to control dust last summer. We now
find ourselves with a soupy, sloppy, oily mess on our concession road.
I take pride in keeping my property and my vehicles clean and tidy.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to drive more than a few meters on Line I 1 North without
having this oily mess coat our vehicles. The oily slop has migrated to our paved driveway
(oil will destroy asphalt over time) and drips off our vehicles on our garage floor.
Additionally the "touch- less" car washes can not totally remove the oily film and cars
need to be hand washed with detergent to remove the scum that is left behind by the
automated car washes. With the number of times we need to travel on our road, and, to
keep our cars reasonably clean, we have had to have our cars washed approximately two
times per week since last October. I would far sooner pay this amount towards a better
road.
I should also mention that the road is extremely rough in spots.
I am absolutely convinced that a major investment is required for our gravel road
infrastructure. Maintenance by itself will not keep up to the combination of increased
vehicular traffic and higher driving speeds.
While I do not have all of the facts, it would seem to me that the cost of
maintenance, the cost of dust control, and the cost of grading, not to mention the
unknown cost of the dissatisfaction of residents, would more than pay for the interest on
money borrowed to hard surface our roads.
I recently drove on Line 9 North. As you know this road was hard surfaced a
number of years ago. While it is not perfect it appears to be standing up quite well.
There are certainly different solutions to this issue and it is not my intention to
make a recommendation regarding the type of hard surfacing to use. However I will say
that our Township is definitely falling behind other jurisdictions and time is of the
essence. Many of you put road improvement as key priority in your pre election
campaign. I now respectfully request that you follow through and get this problem solved
in 2007.
In closing I would ask you to consider two questions:
a) Why do residents of our great Township have to put up with such
deplorable roads when there are cost effective solutions available and
being used by other jurisdictions?
b) Why does it take so long to make a decision leading to positive action?
I would be pleased to discuss this subject either with individual members of
council or with the council as a group. Furthermore, if I can help in any way to improve
this situation I would be pleased to volunteer some time.
Thank you for considering this note and I look forward to seeing a plan of action.
ours ve .ncerely,
Dougl S ers

6157 9d' line
Date: Januaryl0th 2006
Re: Upper 91h line
Dear Sir/Madame
Please bring this matter to the attention of Council. The maintenance of the roads in the north end of the
township has become a matter of more than usual concern. Just over three years ago a great error was made and
tons of clay were used to cover our roads in the normal process of filling and grading. For some reason the error
wasn't addressed until well after the damage was done. Since then the roads department has tried to compensate
by various methods including adding gravel and trying to scale back the surface.
For those of you who are unaware of the actual mess that this error caused, let me relate the problem I had
while campaigning in the municipal election of 2003. The roads became an absolute quagmire. Some were
literally impassable. I was unable to reach certain areas of Ward 1. The problem continued as more and more of
the clay was dumped. The rain compounded the situation until finally Winter set in and the moisture in the fill
froze.
You may wonder why I am speaking of something that happened three years ago. The problem has not gone
away, and now another surface treatment has been implemented using some chemical that has rendered our
vehicles impossible to clean. We are not new here. After 30 years one gets accustomed to potholes and dust. I
usually make a polite call to the Roads Superintendent and something gets done. This past Spring pot hole work
was held up due to weather conditions, but after I called the grader arrived during a massive downpour and
churned the road up into soup! Instead of dodging potholes it became a matter of trying to hold the car from
sliding sidewise.
The chemical which was used to alleviate dust became mixed in and the resultant mix became a cocktail that
stuck like glue to our vehicles. In August we purchased a new SUV and in no time it was covered in muck. I took
it to two hand wash facilities and two power wash facilities. The muck would not come off! I meticulously
removed the mud myself by scrubbing, however within a week it was covered again. I gave up.
There is always a straw that breaks the camels back, and what happened next is the reason for this complaint.
On our way to Whitby after Christmas we heard a terrible grinding noise from the front end. It became so bad
that I took it to the Whitby Toyota dealership where they discovered that the front brake caliber had become
seized and would not release. The
wheel of course was completely covered with dried muck. Without getting into technicalities; the muck had
4 0
Page 2 of 2
prevented me from seeing an accumulation of black brake dust on the wheel. We are convinced also that the
caliber had become seized due to the binding effect of the chemicals in the road fill.
We are appealing to you to have this problem addressed. I strongly urge Council to request a report from your
Roads Superintendent and that his recommendations be implemented before Spring. Your staff are the experts
and they must have an answer to the problem. If the answer is costly then bear the cost! We are not looking to get
the road paved, but if that is the only cost effective method then it should be done. We would just like to be able
to drive on our road without all this aggravation.

Doug Wilson

Hello all
Below is an email originally sent to School Board trustee Peter Beacock and copied to me
regarding safety issues for the sidewalk on Ridge road from Martine Cres to the school. I
will be having a closer look at the Ridge Rand sidewalk on Monday with Peter. I would like
to see both the Ridge road and Craighurst sidewalk issues considered during upcoming
budget deliberations.
Thanks,
Sandy
Thanks for the note Peter. I have just responded to an email from Sandy which requests
that I arrange to show him the areas of concern.
Unfortunately I have been on the road this week and am only now responding.
Fortunately the situation and areas of concern are quite obvious and also documented in
the correspondence I have forwarded you. I would like to be here Monday to join you but am
not available. I have left Sandy Agnew voice mail and will be sure to follow -up with him
after Monday.
Briefly the areas of concern are:
1The juncture of the Ridge Road and the municipal walkway from Martine Crescent where the
route crosses the Ridge Road and there is no crosswalk or supervision.
2 The juncture of the Ridge Road and the 2nd concession where the Village Milk is
located. This is a very busy corner and the route crosses the 2nd concession with no
crosswalk or supervision.
3 The sidewalk between the juncture of the municipal walkway from Martine Crescent and
the Ridge Road to the 2nd concession. This sidewalk is dangerous in every respect. It is
immediately adjacent to the very busy Ridge Road, it is in a state of dilapidation and is
poorly maintained making it very narrow. This is a particular concern with the shared
usage between cyclists and pedestrians. During the winter months when we usually get snow
this sidewalk is often impassable for weeks at a time.
I thankyou for your cooperation and look forward to hearing the results of the tour
Sincerely

FOR PERMISSION OF THE

Pursuant to Regulations made under
Section 28, Subsection 12 of the said Act ORO- MEDONTE
TOWNSHIP
TAKE NOTICE THAT a Hearing before the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority will be held
under Section 28, Subsection 12 of the Conservation Authorities Act at the offices of the said
Authority, 8195 Concession Line 8, Utopia, Ontario, at the hour of 11:15 a.m. on the 9th day of
February 2007, with respect to the application by Shawn Ruyter to permit the placement of 584 cubic
metres of fill; to construct a bridge measuring 1.2 metres x 6.7 metres; to construct two storage
sheds measuring 3.1metres x 3.1 metres and to construct a shoreline retaining wall which are located
within an area regulated by the Authority on Part Lot 1, Concession 14, 26 Bass Line, in the
Township of Oro - Medonte, County of Simcoe.
Specifically, the refusal of this application is recommended as the proposed development will be
located within a provincially significant wetland. The proposed development at this location will affect
the control of flooding, erosion, pollution, the conservation of land and alter or interfere with a
watercourse.
TAKE NOTICE THAT you have the opportunity to make a delegation and submit supporting written
material to the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority for the meeting of February 9, 2007. If
you intend to appear, please contact Beverley Booth, Manager of Planning Policy and Regulations.
Written material will be required by January 22, 2007, to allow staff an opportunity to review the
material prior to the meeting.
TAKE NOTICE THAT this hearing is governed by the provisions of the Statutory Powers Procedures
AIM. Under the Act, a witness is automatically afforded a protection that is similar to the protection of
the Ontario Evidence Act. This means that the evidence that a witness gives may not be used in
subsequent civil proceedings or in prosecutions against the witness under the Provincial Statute. It
does not relieve the witness of the obligation of this oath since matters of perjury are not affected by
the automatic affording of the protection. The significance is that the legislation is Provincial and
cannot affect Federal matters. If a witness requires the protection of the Canada Evidence Act that
protection must be obtained in the usual manner. The Ontario Statute requires the hearing board to
draw this matter to the attention of the witness, as the hearing board has no knowledge of the affect
of any evidence that a witness may give.
AND FURTHER TAKE NOTICE that if you do not attend this Hearing, the Nottawasaga Valley
Conservation Authority will proceed in your absence, and you will not be entitled to any further notice
in the proceedings.

Investment Renewal
Department: Treasury
Date: January 12, 2007
R.M. File #:
Roll #:
BACKGROUND:
The Rural Infrastructure Investment Initiative is a $70 million, one -time funding program that will
support in investments in local infrastructure in rural municipalities across Ontario. Grants under this
initiative will be awarded on the basis of applications evaluated on a competitive basis. Particular
consideration will be given to projects that have not previously received any provincial government
funding. Preference will also be given to projects that are considered construction ready.
Only one project will be considered for each applicant municipality.
The deadline for applications is 12:00 p.m. on February 5, 2007. Funding announcements and
payments to municipalities will be made before March 31, 2007. Payment will be a single, one -time,
lump sum transfer payment.
The municipal council must pass a by -law affirming their support of the application submitted
ANALYSIS:
As Council is aware, the municipality's application for COMRIF funding for the Line 3 upgrade was
not approved.
This matter was discussed with the Public Works Superintendent. It is our opinion that the Line 3
upgrade remains a priority for the municipality. As such, we respectfully recommend that the first
phase of the said project, being the reconstruction of the 4.45 kilometres from 20 Ridge Road to
Highway 11 be the project submitted for consideration for funding under this initiative. The estimated
cost of this phase of the project is $1,070,000.
RECOMMENDATION 5
1. THAT Report No. TR2007 -02 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Treasurer be authorized to apply for funding under the Rural Infrastructure Investment
Initiative for reconstruction of Line 3 from 20 Ridge Road to Highway 11.
3. THAT the required by -law be brought forward for Council's consideration.

Township of Oro Medonte
Dear Mayor Hughes, Deputy Mayor Ralph Hough, and Council:
On behalf of the Barrie Area physician Recruitment Task Force I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the
Council of the Township of Oro- Medonte for the ongoing support of the recruitment and retention initiative in
our community. I would also like to take this opportunity congratulate to Mayor Harry Hughes and Deputy
Mayor Ralph Hough on their new appointments. A special thank you must also go out to Mayor Hughes and
for his continued contribution to our Task Force.
We have made great strides in bringing much needed Family Physicians and Specialists into the area, but there
is still a tremendous amount of work to be done. Health care human resources will be a significant issue facing
all residents of the area in the coming years and recruitment will be the key initiative to alleviate the hardships of
the physician shortage.
We have been successful in relocating several new physicians to the area this year in the following specialties
(family medicine, paediatrics, emergency medicine, radiology, orthopedic surgery psychiatry &
dermatology). We are also very proud to say that we are in active negotiations with 13 new physicians for 2007.
The Task Force is also focusing on the personal needs of incoming physicians. We tour every visiting physician
throughout the entire community . A key initiative of the Task Force is bringing local medical students and
residents back home to train. We feel that this will aid in the development of the learner, and also provide a
means to recruit for the future.
We formally request your financial support, in the amount of $20,000 to help further our initiatives. As you are
aware your financial contribution allows for your Representative to hold a seat on the Task Force, which will
ensure that your input and accountability needs are met.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. I can be reached directly at 705 -728 -9090

Barrie Area Physician Recruitment
Business Plan 200712008
Summary
Appendix 1
The Barrie Area Physician Recruitment Task Force was first funded in 2002 to develop and
implement a recruitment program to combat the shortage of physicians in our area. A number of
factors have led to this physician shortage, including many physicians reaching retirement age in
our community and the unprecedented growth in the area over the last five years.
This business plan will outline recruitment success since 2002, medical student and resident
training, recruitment tours, funding from current fiscal year, planned budget for 2007/2008, and
total contribution for 2006/2007 from all funding partners.
� ' t 1M Z#
Over the past four years the Barrie Area Physician Recruitment Task Force has had great success
in the recruitment of physicians to our community. The chart below notes the number of new
physicians who came into our area to practice medicine during this time period. Also noted is the
impact the committee had on the recruitment of each particular physician. Not noted are the
multitude of locum physicians (one week — six month periods) who came into our area during this
time period.
Much work needs to be continued in the recruitment of family physicians. The trends in family
medicine are changing, and this greatly effects the recruitment of the traditional family physician.
The Task Force has recognized this change, and has developed a recruitment program that will
offer many options for family physicians including full and part time practice, short and long term
locums, emergency, hospitalist, obstetrics, oncology, palliative care and nursing home care.
Please note that the Task Force has recruited physicians up to three years in advance of the
completion of their residency program. We have seen that the recruitment process can be quite a
lengthy one.
We have already had commitments from ten physicians (including two family physicians and two
oncologists) to come to our community in 2007.

Explanation of Impact
High High assistance means the physician received a tremendous amount of support by
the physician recruiter and the physician recruitment program. This can include:
initial contact made to Physician Recruitment Coordinator; training
opportunities; community tours & site visits; funds to assist with the transition;
ministry applications; spousal support; real- estate, office space and community
support.
Medium Medium assistance means the physician located in our community after making
contact with other physicians, but the recruitment program provided considerable
support to the physician's decision & relocation process (ie. providing funds).
Low Low assistance means the marketing and support provided by the Physician
Recruitment Coordinator was of some help in the physician's awareness of the
area and their decision to relocate.

Township of Oro- Medonte— Business Plan _ Append&2
Medical Student & Resident Training
The medical student/resident training program is one of the Task Force's key initiatives and vital
to physician recruitment for our area. It has been seen that many students and residents who train
in our community will return to practice here full time. We hope to expand the medical student
and resident training program by bringing on more physician preceptors and focusing our efforts
on family medicine teaching.
In 2006, forty four medical students and residents trained at the RVH and in our community.
First year medical student Chris Evans works in the emergency
department of the Royal Victoria Hospital with Family & Emergency
Physician Dr. Marcie Kostenulk.
The Task Force brings students and residents into the community and RVH under the guidance of
a preceptor, ensures the quality of their placement and helps them get acquainted with the
hospital, its staff and the community. This program works because our physicians are enthusiastic
about providing the students and residents with a great learning experience. Seventy -one
physicians affiliated with the Royal Victoria Hospital are official preceptors with ROMP.
The goal of the program is that
the medical students and
residents will have a positive
experience and will return again
during their training or when
they are ready to practice
medicine.
Third year medical student (from Shanty Bay)
Carly Thompson and first year Family Medicine
resident (from Collingwood), work with Dr.
Vincent Ho in the RVH's special care nursery.
Both learners have come back to the
community multiple times to train.

Recruitment Tours
Appendix 2
A significant portion of the Physician Recruitment budget ($15,000 per year) is allocated to
recruitment tours. These tours are located around the province and are the best recruitment tool
we have!
For the past five years, the Task Force has participated in the Professional Association of Internes
and Residents of Ontario (PAIRO) Health Professional Recruitment Tour. The participants of this
tour include all of the underserviced areas in the province of Ontario.
The 2006 PAIRO Tour, held from September 17 - September 21, included stops at Ottawa
University, Ottawa; Queen's University, Kingston; McMaster University, Hamilton; University
of Western Ontario, London and University of Toronto, Toronto. More than 370 contacts were
made at all of the venues. This includes medical students, residents, allied health professionals,
and practicing physicians. The tour was a great success, as our Task Force representatives met
with many residents who are interested in relocating to an underserviced area within one year's
time.
The representatives on the 2006 tour included:
Dr. Rick Irvin, Family Physician
Dr Anwar Parbtani, Family Physician
Dr. Leah Skory, Family Physician
Dr. Kerstin Mossman, Family Physician
Dr. Paul Webber, Anesthetist
Christine Coley, Barrie Community Health Centre

Future Initiatives & Recruitment Statistics
• Continue to develop strong connections with the community based family physicians (those not affiliated
with hospitals).
• Continue to maintain strong working relationships with contacts of the municipal, provincial and federal
platforms including. community and hospital based physician recruitment groups, College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Ontario, Ontario Medical Association, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada,
MOHLTC.
• Maintain connections with national family medicine residency program directors and liaisons. This will help
further physician recruitment efforts.
• Further promote the OTN (Ontario Telemedicine Network) to our medical residents and students. The
OTN is a means to provide the residents and students with access to rounds, academic half days, etc. by
videoconference. This allows them to stay on site, eliminates travel to their medical schools for these
sessions.
• Ongoing work with medical and hospital administration to prioritize specialist recruitment.
• Collaborate with other community and hospital based recruitment teams on best practices. Discuss our
success stories in attempts to assist other communities with physician recruitment.
• Establish a regional connection with surrounding physician recruitment teams within our LHIN. This will
facilitate difficult specialist placement (e.g. Psychiatry, infectious disease).
• Create and maintain an extensive database of all physicians, residents and medical students' contacts
(ongoing).
• Continue to develop community tours showcasing the area by collaborating with community members,
businesses and highlighting the amenities that make this region unique.
• Develop extensive chamber of commerce retention program by engaging the business community. This will
allow local businesses to provide an incentive to physicians, while promoting their products or services.
Chamber incentive programs have been a huge success in other communities (i.e. Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie).
• Develop a structured physician retention program, including assisting the current medical staff social group,
and recognizing our physician preceptors.
• Continue to provide reports on recruitment successes and difficulties to all members of funding bodies.
Barrie Area Physician Recruitment Task Force is proud to say that we have successfully
recruited 100 Physicians to the community since 2001. We look forward to continued
success

Motion #
R.M. File #:
T01 -4911 v -012
Date:
Roll #:
11BACKGROUND:
Correspondence dated August 28, 2006 from Big Cedar (Oro) Residents Association was received at
the Committee of the Whole meeting of September 13, 2006, requesting the Township install a
streetlight at the entrance of Big Cedar Estates and Bass Lake Sideroad.
ANALYSIS:
As the existing hydro poles at the intersection of Bass Lake Sideroad and Big Cedar Estates are
located 30 to 40 feet south of the Township road allowance, a new pole would be required for a
streetlight.
The cost of installing a new pole and 100 Watt streetlight would be $3,200.00, plus Hydro One
approval, and the operating cost of this light would be $288.00 per year.
The speed limit along the Bass Lake Sideroad between Line 12 North and Line 13 North is 60 km /h,
with the "annual average daily traffic" (AADT) count being 500 -999 vehicles.
Section 2 of the Policy for Streetlight Charges and Installation of New Streetlights Within the
Township of Oro - Medonte states, "THAT installation of streetlights to illuminate intersections of roads
or walkways that connect to a Class I, II or III roadway, as per Ministry of Transportation
Classification of Highways (FIG. 1), should be considered as a benefit to the general public. Both
Capital and Operating Costs shall be placed on the General Tax Levy, as approved by Council ".
The attached Ministry of Transportation Classification of Highways indicates that Bass Lake
Sideroad, between Line 12 North and Line 13 North, is a Class Four (4) highway and as the
proposed light is located at the intersection of a private roadway and Township road, it does not meet
the Township's policy for installing streetlights that would be placed on the general tax levy.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. THAT Report No. EES2007 -01 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Township does not install and maintain a new streetlight at the entrance to Big Cedar
Estates and Bass Lake Sideroad.
3. AND THAT Big Cedar (Oro) Residents Association be notified of Council's decision.

Application # 2006- ZBA -14
Date:
Roll #: 010 - 002 -04101
The purpose of this report is to consider the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment application submitted
by Lester & Rosetta Parry on November 1, 2006. This rezoning application has been submitted to fulfill
a condition of approval for Consent Application 2006 -B -14, which was granted by the Committee of
Adjustment on July 13, 2006.
The rezoning application applies to lands described as 2072 Line 2 North, being Concession 3, Part of
the West '' /z of Lot 8, in the Township of Oro - Medonte (formerly Oro). The subject land is proposed to be
rezoned from the Agricultural /Rural (A /RU) Zone to the Rural Residential Two (RUR2) Zone. Consent
Application 2006 -B -14 resulted in a small portion of agricultural land being added to the abutting rural
residential land, being 2105 Line 2 North (see attached schedule). As part of provisional approval, the
applicant must apply for and obtain a rezoning, which will create a consistent rural residential zone for
the newly - enlarged rural residential parcel.
The subject property is designated Agricultural by the Official Plan. The parcel to which the subject
lands are being added to are also designated Agricultural. The Official Plan recognizes boundary
adjustments provided no new building lot is created and the boundary adjustment will not affect the
viability of the agricultural parcels affected.
The property to be enhanced is currently vacant. The parcel to be conveyed as a result of Consent
Application 2006 -B -14 totals 0.73 hectares — as such, this application does not propose to remove
significant agricultural land from production, and will not reduce the agricultural resource base or
adversely affect the viability of the retained agricultural parcel. Therefore, this application generally
complies with the objectives of the Township Official Plan.
ZONING
The subject property is 2072 Line 2 N, Part of the West '/Z of Lot 8, Concession 3 (formerly Oro
Township). As a result of this consent, the retained lands will have a frontage of 400 metres (1312 feet),
a depth of 1215 metres (4000 feet), and an area of 58.5 hectares (144.54 acres). The required
minimum frontage for a lot in the Agricultural /Rural Zone is 45 metres.
The lot to be enhanced, 2105 Line 2 N. will increase in area from 0.27 hectares (0.66 acres) to 1.0
hectare (2.47 acres), and the frontage will increase from 45 metres (147 feet) to 100 metres (328 feet).
The minimum area for lots in the Rural Residential Two Zone is 0.4 hectares (0.98 acres), where the
Official Plans of both the Township and County generally do not permit rural residential lots to be larger
than 1 hectare. On this basis, the enhanced and retained lands would appear to generally comply with
the requirements of the RUR2 Zone.
The subject land is currently designated Agricultural in the Official Plan and is zoned Agricultural /Rural
(A /RU) Zone and Environmental Protection (EP) Zone in the Township's Zoning By -law. The applicant
was recently granted consent to convey a portion of the subject property to the lands located at 2105
Line 2 N., and is now applying to re -zone the lands from the Agricultural /Rural (A /RU) Zone to the Rural
Residential Two (RUR2) Zone. The Consent Application was approved by the Committee of Adjustment
on July 13, 2006, (Application 2006- B -14), and as part of the Committee's provisional approval, the
applicant must apply for and obtain a rezoning for the conveyed lands to maintain the consistency of the
zoning fabric in the area.
The application has been circulated to all internal departments, and no concerns have been indicated.
As the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment does not propose to remove significant agricultural lands
from production, the rezoning would appear to conform with the intent and policies of the Official Plan.
On this basis, it is recommended that the Zoning By -law Amendment Application 2006- ZBA -14 proceed
to a statutory Public Meeting.
2
It is recommended:
1. THAT Report BP 2007 -001 Re: Zoning By -law Amendment for Lester Parry, Concession 3,
Part of the W 1/2 Lot 8 (Oro), Township of Oro - Medonte, 2072 Line 2 North be received and
adopted.
2. THAT Council be requested to authorize that Zoning By -law Amendment Application 2006 -
ZBA-14, Concession 3, Part of the W' /] Lot 8 (Oro), Township of Oro - Medonte, 2072 Line 2
North, proceed to a Statutory Public Meeting in accordance with the provisions of the
Planning Act.
