North Simcoe ATV is an GFATV affiliated club founded in March, 2003. Our goal is to help
develop and sustain a trail system through out Simcoe County and promote the safe and
responsible use of ATVs. We now also have a chapter club located in Espanola, Greater City
of Sudbury and Chapleau. As the popularity of this sport continues to grow, the NSATV will
work closely with local government and agencies to insure cooperation and communication on
the relevant issues and voice the interests of our members and ATV'ers in this area. The
NSATV prides itself on being a very family friendly club with members ranging in all ages
and skill levels. We plan to hold a variety of fun rides and events and wherever possible,
assist the communities in our area with their charitable initiatives.
March 24 2006
To The Council of the Municipality of Oro - Medonte Twp.
I would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce ourselves as the
Ontario Federation of All Terrain Vehicle Clubs — OFATV. The OFATV is a
volunteer driven, not for profit organization, dedicated to trail development
through local volunteer clubs.
Our goal is to assist county /municipal council members in setting out bi -laws
allowing access for All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) on the roads and road allowances
linking us to different trails that we hope to develop in this and surrounding areas.
Bill 11 (passed July 31, 2003) allowed the creation of regulations 316/03 which in
turn is an enabling legislation allowing counties and municipalities to create by-
laws allowing legal road access. We have attached a two -page summary of
ORV changes, complete information can be found at: v.e- laws.gov.on.ca
specifically relating to regulation #316/03.
While you consider these options please keep in mind that regulation 316/03 only
pertains to ATV access on roads and road allowances. These regulations are
not intended to include mini, dirt or motor cross bikes, nor other categories of
ATV's including 3 wheelers, dune buggies and snowmobiles.
It is also important to note that any by -law being considered must be made in
conjunction with regulation (316/03). To date we have seen several by -laws
being circulated that refer to allowing access to "off -road Vehicles" from Section
191.8(3) of the Highway Traffic Act. The importance of Section 191.8(1) should
not be overlooked. That act which states "No person shall drive an off -road
vehicle on a highway except in accordance with the regulations and any
applicable municipal by- laws."
1
What this means is seeing that the regulation (316.03) already exists then any
by -law must be made in conjunction with that regulation. Section 195(1) of the
Highway Traffic Act goes further by stating "If a provision of a municipal by -law
passed by the council of a municipality or a police services board for, (a)
regulating traffic on the highways: (c) prohibiting or regulating the operation of
motor vehicles or any class thereof on the highways; is inconsistent with this Act
or the regulations, the provision of the by -law shall be deemed to be repealed
upon the inconsistency arising."
Because of this section, any by -law that already exists and is not in conjunction
with Ontario Regulation 316/03 will need to be examined and brought on line with
the regulation.
Persons who may be exempt from these bi -laws are as follows:
• The Bi -law Department of your area
• All Police Officers while performing his /her duties
• All Fire Department personnel while performing his /her duties
• All Medical Rescue personnel while performing his /her duties
• All employee of the Municipality while performing their duties
• Hydro One employee(s) and its contractors while performing his /her duties
• M.N.R. employees while performing his /her duties
• Farmer(s), Trapper(s), and Public Utility Worker(s)
• The County personnel while performing his /her duties
If you require any additional information in regards to our intentions or regulation
316/03, please do not hesitate in contacting our office at 705 -422 -1408 or email

OFATV

Executive Summary
This document outlines a potential relationship as ATV Crown Land trail stewards
between Ontario Federation of All Terrain Vehicle Clubs (further referred to as OFATV)
and the Ministry of Natural Resources(further referred to as MNR)
As a logical progression to the increasing use of ATV's including use on Crown Land
trails this plan offers solutions, which we hope will be of benefit to the Ministry of
Natural Resources, Townships, Counties and land owners in general.
The document outlines how the relationship might work, addresses what resources
OFATV clubs can bring to the table and deals with responsibilities and commitments.
The trails and descriptions of the same along with notations on potentially sensitive
locations.
The plan suggests that the MNR and OFATV enter a "Letter of Understanding "in the
positive spirit of ATV trail management. It suggests that consistent signage; warden
"pinch points' and education are cornerstones to effective trail management.
This plan is produced as a result of a meeting between OFATV and the MNR and also
from meetings conducted at MNR District offices.
The plan presumes some level of club participation and management on the trails will
benefit all parties including trail users over the existing status quo.
The intention is this document will be used by other OFATV clubs to file similar plans
with their respective MNR district offices as pertaining to the Crown Land trials they use.

Image Policy
Policy Number 1
Passes: November 29, 2000
Display of photographs / graphic by OFATV Clubs and Members:
• Do not display photographs of riders in dangerous situations
• Show the variety of rider demographics, in accordance with manufacturer recommendations
• Show interactions, along trail, with other riders
• Do not display photographs of riders without all safety gear as recommended by the manufacturer
• Do not display photographs of environmental degradation on or off the trail

NSATV was involved in the development of these policies and practices them in every day use as away of
leading by example. We go beyond following the policies and have put together training for club members and
an active safety campaign including posters and newspaper advertising and safety booklets. (See appendix "E ")
We pay special attention to young riders and a significant amount of peer pressure by example rubs off on new
members who participate in club events and rides. We also publish safety and trail ride impact information on
both the OFATV (www.ofatv. ) and NSATV (www.nsatv. )
Two separate OFATV committees address environmental and trail risk management (Safety &alcohol) are
both chaired by one of our members. In addition NSATV / OFATV employs a trail signage policy consistent
with the OFSC (Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs) (See appendix "F ")
OFATV Trail Etiquette Environmental Guidelines - 2006
(Updated July 31St, 2006)
Premises
The Ontario Federation of All Terrain Vehicle Clubs (OFATV) is an organization of clubs that believes riding
on designated trails protects the environment.
The OFATV promotes safe and responsible riding on trails. It believes that education and awareness programs
will further protect the natural environment. At the same time, the utilization of a trail network provides for a
unique opportunity to experience nature. ATV's provide and allow for an increased mobility for a variety of
users.
The environmental guidelines address the biotic (living organisms) and abiotic (non - living) components of all
ecosystems, and are directed to all trail users, including ATV riders.
The OFATV believes the future of utilizing a trail in the outdoors is directly related to how clubs and its
members use it today.
Guidelines
■ Remove the doubt — Make sure it's out! Forest fires are a serious concern to all of us.
■ Ride on designated trails. Do not utilize CLOSED trails. "If you don't know, don't go!"
■ Avoid sudden stops and starts and quick directional changes with acceleration.
■ Avoid sensitive and restricted areas at all times, especially wetlands, lakeshores, steep stream banks and
hills. Cross -at designated crossings and utilize bridges when available. Cross watercourses at 90- degree
angles and drive carefully and slowly.
■ Enjoy wildlife viewing opportunities; avoid stressing any species, particularly during the rearing stages.
Adjust riding behavior according to season and location.
■ Respect and be courteous to other users who are also using shared use trails. Always yield the right -of
way to other trail users who are approaching or passing. Signal when approaching from behind. In
particular, be certain to communicate with the riders of horses and those walking pets.
■ Avoid running over young trees and shrubs, particularly in the spring and the growing season of the
summer.
■ Do not trespass on private property and do not utilize single - purpose trails designated for other (non-
ATV) activities.
■ Promote parking and dismounting from your ATV to walk to sensitive, scenic, historic and cultural
areas.
■ The ATV designated trail season begins and ends with the advent of winter and the appearance of
snowmobile groomers.
■ Avoid riding after heavy rains
■ Do not venture out on new, non -ATV designated trails without consulting appropriate stakeholders.
■ Comply with all applicable legislation and /or municipal by -laws.
■ The planning and staging of rodeos and safety courses should be within areas such as pits, gravel
parking lots and controlled areas.
■ Take a rider safety course and ride within your abilities.
■ Do not cut switchbacks or take shortcuts.
■ Keep your speed and engine rpm low and steady when approaching other riders, homes, etc.
■ What you pack in, pack out — DO NOT LITTER.
■ Remove your helmet when talking to other trail users.
■ Keep in mind the following OTC statement:
"Shared use trail — expect /respect other users."
Note: Guidelines will be altered as required. The OFATV invites any comments related to its guidelines:

ATE Tourism Potential in Espanola &Manitoulin Island area
Early stage ATV tourism is already a reality. Consider some oft the following economic
impact data related to the sport of ATVig:
Total American ATV Industry Sales last year: 800,000 units (conservative est.) This
umber cores on the heels of five years of double digit sales grow
In contrast during 2002, there were approximately 300,000 off road motorcycle sales and
these sales numbers have remained relatively flat.
In comparison, the Worldwide Outboard Engine market is approximately 800,000
units.
From 1997 to 2002 ATV and Off Road Vehicle sales have increased 1.71% in the
westem US and 355% in the State of California
Total Canadian ATV sales will exceed 90,000 units this yearl.
Ontario is almost 24 oft is total - second only to PQ with almost 28% of Canadian
national annual ATV sales. Ontario's annual rate of sales grouch *s stiII running at a.
staggering 14% - well ahead of the rational average.
In comparison, worldwide sales of snowmobiles were Just over 1.60,000 units this
year. This number is over from first over 10 % from last year and down from a tern
year high in 1997 of more than 250,000 units.
Canadian snowmobile sales are slightly less than 50,000 units.
Ontario's percentage of this number is estimated at about 15,000 units.
In a recent survey it was discovered that almost 50% of Ontario snowmobile owners
now own an ATV. This percentage has been steadily increasing since the middle
1.990's
The OFSC sold 1. 02,000 trail permits this past season.
PQ has largest most established ATV trails system in North America
Trail permits sold for the PQ ATV trails system wi exceed 40,000 this year.
A rapidly growing three - season tourism business revolving around the PQ ATV
system has emerged over the past five years. ATV Tourism grorth Is running at
double -digit levels aually and shows no signs of slowing.
The ATV Tourism industry offers excellent potential for the traditional slow 'shoulder
months' in Central Ontario.
In 2000 there uxere 36 million off road reereati nal sts in the USA. A large percentage of
these numbers (estimated at 0% ) are ATV reereatxona lsts. Our
location here gives a clear marketing advantage to US ATVers looking for better
value ($), less congested trails and new experiences.
The average ATV rider in North America is 40 years of age.
In the State of Tennessee there are 153,000 registered ATVs.
•
In a Tennessee surrey the economic impact of off .Road Recreation was ' . billion..
The timber industry there is $5).0 billion.
In the US the average income for an ATV rider is $ oi000 US and the average
income for an off road motorcycle rider is $40,000 US
In West Virginia the Hatfield-McCoy ATV Trail System 1s only four years old. In
001 6,000 Trail Permits were sold. In 2002 14,000 Permits were sold and its
estimated 20,000 were sold in 2003. The system offers 400 riles of trails in 4 US
counties.
Rainbow District has incredible potential with it's largely interconnected Crown Land
based trail system, which with the help of the local municipalities quick
implementation of Bill 11, has immediately generated $1.5 milfion.ATV to sm
revenue. It's fully possible to expand this impact over the next five years to over
million dollars and rival the winter tourism impact of snows obiling by the end of this
decade.
Resorts are showing interest in direct involvement as ixell offering guided ATV tours.

NSATV needs the opportunity to manage these trails in conjunction with the N lNR, which
rll rest in an orderly progression of ATE tourism alihrtor and connected to the
greater Ontario marketplace.
Wardening and pass required pinch points could generate proper use and revenue to
offset trail maintenance, insurance and signage costs. The alternative could be unmanaged
tral chaos.
ATV recreation is here to stay. It is a fully entrenched recreational activity in our Canadian
life style. The NSATV is committed to sanctioning safe and environmentally responsible
ATV riding for the benefit of its members and tourism partners in La cloche.
Riilis of Trail Management
NSA TV perceives its responsibilities of trail management to go beyond written policy.
Below are duties that NSA TV sees as responsibility areas on -MN sanctioned OFATV
trails in the regions:
Insuring all trails NNIth adequate x surance and naming the Cro co-insured
0 Consistent appro ved sig age on all trails
Wardening at allocated Crown Land. pinch points and on all private trails where
we have land use agreements
0 Refuse cleanup
A Trail etiquette promotion
• Safety promotion and training
Co-operation/Coordination and training with ATV Ontario Search and Rescue
and OPP OSARVA Ontario Search and Rescue Volunteer Association)
Forking relationship with NINR including assistance to NINR inspection of trails
as pertaining to other trail uses and everts.
0 Inventory and mapping of trails
0 Damage prevention, correction and rerouting in sensitive areas
Letters of agreement with NINR to provide an understanding and guarantee of
these undertakings.
Signage Pohcv
Below is an example of the signs as sanctioned by the OF ATV, our insurance company a
co iste with the OF SC s ignage policy. For the c omplete guide see Append 1x T s
The Necessity of a Pass System, Wardening and Managed
Trails
Managed ATV Trails assume a strategy is in place employed by various stakeholders,
consistent with community values and captured within a framework of governing
concepts. This ensures that:
a) Environmental impact is minimal
b) Safety is maximized
c) Community standards are considered
d) Expectation of use is set
e) Stewardship on the trails is apparent
Unmanaged ATV Trails would be the status quo. While this may not be a problem now, we
must recognize ATV's like all users have "right of passage ". A voluntary approach working
together to set down boundaries, guidelines and standards should enhance the ATV trail
tourism experience and at the same time offer some measure of accountability and protection
for the resource.
As ATV use grows in North America, managed systems are in the best interests of all trail
users (including ATVers) and governments. The MNR does not have the resources to
manage this in isolation. ATV Clubs and organizations should be part of the management
equation.
It is difficult to have management and order on the trails without a trail wardening system,
if for no other purpose than to have trained warden's imparting education and information
sharing.
Warden's can insure that guidelines and policies are conveyed to riders in a timely way.
Through the utilization of "pinch points" warden's can insure riders are contributing to the
insurance, maintenance and upkeep of the trails via the OFATV pass system.
Insuring, signing and maintaining trails cost money. Trail upkeep goes beyond the "inkind"
labour that ATV clubs can provide. To properly address this, a voluntary pass system needs
to be in place and promoted and marketed as part of the overall plan towards trail use,
education and managed trails. HATVA / OFATV has such pass system in place now for use
on trails that have a Land Use Agreement and for county owned trails See Example;

COOPERATING WITH OUR LOCAL LANDOWNERS
Landowners just like you have made it possible for trails to be developed throughout Ontario
Allowing your local OFATV club access to a portion of your land will ensure that our goal of a
linked ATV trail system across Ontario can become a reality
Nit- For - Profit and Volunteer driven we depend on the generosity of Landowners across
Ontario to ensure that the OFATV will continue to grow and ensure the rights of Private Property
owners by making sure that ATVers have an approved, organized, signed and wardened trail to
ride on — reducing the risk of trespass.
OFATV volunteers will rovide ou with a Land Owner A reement Form and also
apendable p Y g
provide you with a copy of our insurance certificate assuring you that the OFATV has what is
probably the most comprehensive motorized third party insurance package available in Ontario
providing protection for the OFATV, our clubs and our landowners
is what will make the difference. Givin the ATVers in Ontario a lace to ride is
Gganization g p
imperative if we are to provide a solution to riders inadvertently crossing onto private property or
perhaps even onto sensitive environmental areas. That is why the OFATV volunteers and
members are proud to make a difference!
With a signed Land Use Permission form you are allowing an OFATV club to monitor, sign
and insure your trail.
Wighbours and friends are also joining our cause. These trails and the benefits they generate
will have a positive impact on everyone in your community.
entire communities will benefit by the substantial new opportunities generated by the ATV
Trails Community, in fact today the powerful economic impact is second only to that of the
snowmobile industry.
�gspecting your land will be the prime goal of our volunteers. In fact, our wardens will help to
ensure that any rider accessing the trail on your land is an OFATV member and therefore bound
by the rules and regulations of the OFATV such as our Zero Tolerance Alcohol policy etc.
supplying a trail system for the already existing ATVers in your municipality just makes sense
and it takes the ongoing partnership between local OFATV Clubs and Private Property Owners
to ensure community spirit and respect for private property.
Insurance Policy
The OFATV has secured a third party liability insurance program for the Federation., its
member clubs. members, volunteers and landowners.
The policy provides coverage for the operation of a ATV club and provades a
million dollar liability limit. In order to keep the policy affordable, it was developed to
provide protection for the club and its members for the normal day -to -day operations and
activities. To avoid a small club paying the same premium as a club with a larger
membership pote .tial, a per - member and per permit fee was also established. (see
Appendix "I" & 'I Jrt
What is Included in the Club Polic. va
The pokey provides coverage for $5 million Commercial General Liability, $5 million
Non Owned Automobile obile and $250,000 Tenants Legal Liability. The policy deductible is
$1,000.
Who is Covered?
The oF'ATV �FSATV requires land use permits to be completed by all landowners who
provide use of lard for ATV trails maintained by the NSATV club. This provides
protection for the landowner up to the million limit. The landowner is still required
to cam his own personal liability insurance as vFell.
A.11 riders of the trails must be members in good standing of the OF ATV through a
member club.
There is cove -rage in the policy to provide protection for Tenants Legal Liability. Should
the club host an event or bold meetings at a location where a loss occurs and they are
found negligent, the policy will respond up to $250 #000.
Should a member using their personal automobile be involved in a negligent auto
accident while on Club business, Ikon Owned Automobile coverage is available to
protect the club for up to $5 million.
Who Can Be A. Member?
Membership is open to residents of Canada; there are no provincial boundaries.
Residents of the U.S.A. are excluded from the policy and Membership cannot be
accepted even if they have a seasonal residence in Canada.
No operator under the age of 12 can be sold a membership. The Off Road Vehicles Act
allows the operator to be at lean 12 years of age to operate a vehicle manufactured for the

event, at least 60 days to give time for approval, submit the Special Events Insurance
application is submitted to the o A V office for review and approval. Since the policy
requires all riders and participants to be members of the OFATV, all nonmembers must
purchase a Special Events pass in order to participate. This provides them with the protection
for insurance on the trail. Special event passes will be jade available from the HATVA office
along with a trail log. Each pass sold is recorded on the log. The cost of this event pass is be
submitted to the OFATV office with the trail log. The club is responsible for the number of
passes issued to the club. This price is to be set by the oATV Board of Directors.

the sale of alcohol. A separate policy is required for this coverage, if it 1s a callable.
Who is Responsible for the Deductible?
In the event that a loss is reported to the OFA V office, the Club responsible for the loss is
subject to the deductible. The policy deductible 1s presently $1,0 and payable up front with
reimbursement after loss expenses including adjusting expenses.

Conclusion
We believe the MNR and NSATV can be good partners in the management of ATV trail
systems on Crown Land. Both parties can bring positive attributes to the equation and. without
a doubt working together can significantly improve ATV Trail tourism and protection of the
environment far beyond what would be accomplished if we were to simply let the status quo
.fold.
This document is a work in progress and should not be seen as definitive but rather as a
starting point that will al Iow for proper identification and management of ATV TraiIs.
NSATV has an excellent track record of stewardship on County ow ed trails and has the ability
and interest to expand their expertise in the same fashion to the Crown Land trails.
By working together we can accomplish more than y moving r gar d isolated from each
other. This plan is written in the spirit of co- operation as requested by the NINR and we hope
it will be the foundation of a long and fruitful working relationship.
In the end., the basic premise is that managed trails are better for all than unmanaged trails and
NSATV is a willing participant.

TRAIL WARDEN MANUAL
1.0 PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL:
This manual provides guidelines for addressing the development and proper procedures of wardening the recreational all
terrain vehicle trails of member clubs of the Ontario Federation of All Terrain Vehicles ( OFATV).
It should be used as a reference guide and training complement to the course as offered by your regional OFATV Trail
Warden Master Instructors. We anticipate that as a result of ongoing communication with member clubs, the manual will
continue to evolve through time. Should you have additional questions or concerns following your training session, please
consult with your Chief Warden Instructor.
The OFATV and its member clubs recognize that the suggested guidelines contained in this manual may not include all
scenarios that may be encountered. This being the case, we would recommend that any specific scenarios involving the Trail
Warden Program not covered in this manual to contact your Chief Warden Instructor for proper protocols.
1.1 INTRODUCTION:
With the introduction of Bill 11 , the focus of the Trail Wardening Program is that we are required on the trail to sell passes to
those riders that do not have a pass. This increases the need to work closely with Police Forces in order to sell passes.
1.2 OBJECTIVES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The objectives and responsibilities of an OFATV Trail Warden Program is to produce an individual who acts on behalf of the
OFATV, the member club and the landowner. It is the objective of the OFATV to achieve a uniformly safe and effective
means to warden our trails across the province consistently with set criteria based on the appropriate protocol. These protocols
are set out in this manual and are also discussed during the training session.
This program has been put in place to ensure that any all terrain vehicle using a member club's trail has obtained and affixed
in the proper location) a valid Trail Pass to their all terrain vehicle. The responsibilities of a good Trail Warden include the
following:
• Knowing the proper protocol when checking for Trail Passes;
• Liaison with local OPP /SA VE ;
• Reporting safety hazards on the trail (downed trees, missing signage,etc)
• Working knowledge of landowner boundaries and understanding their needs;
• Encourage riders to obey posted signs;
• Have a contingent plan for emergency situations;
• Public relations for your Club;
Setting up and organizing an effective and safe Pass Stop Station.
It is important to note that the primary purpose of an OFATV Warden is to ensure the safety and enjoyment not only for
members of your club but also of the tourists that enjoy your trails.
1.3 OFATV TRAIL WARDEN GUIDE AND CODE
You have taken on a task that may seem to be very difficult, although if you work by the code of conduct enclosed it will be a
rare instance that difficulty would arise. As an OFATV Warden you are a PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER- you are a
salesman. You are working in the best interest of all ATV'ers. Education and awareness are the best ways to sell your program.
THE OFATV TRAIL WARDEN GUIDE AND CODE OF CONDUCT:
I . Never antagonize. Remember, a rider who is angry or upset will not buy a Trail Pass even if he /she had intended to
previously. Remember you are a PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER;
2. Never arrest or threaten to arrest. Remember there are better ways to solve the problem;
3. Give directions, help or advise whenever you can. Remember you are representing your Club and the OFATV and
it is you job to create a good impression. You get but one chance for a first impression;
Building Ontario's ATV Trail Network Club By Club 2
"Make a difference, join an OFATV Club"
4. Station yourself on landowner's property or on Crown Land for which your Club has a Land Use Permit. You have
no authority on roads or road allowances.
5. Sell the Trail Pass on the basis that the OFATV and you Club are operating on a user pay system. Take the time to
explain the benefits of buying a Trail Pass and being a member;
6. Explain that in order to sign and maintain our trails for the safety of others, they should be prepared to contribute
through the purchase of a Trail Pass. Explain that the Pass is a bargain compared to skiing, golf, etc and a Trail Pass
is good for approximately nine months, depending on your location;
7. Point out that trails are for OFATV members only and if they decline to purchase a pass they should have the
courtesy to turn around and go back. If they refuse or you are doubtful, you can point out that you have the
authority under the Trespass to Property Act, but that would be awkward for you both and you have no desire to lay
charges;
8. If they do not have any money with them or any other means of paying, advise them that they will have to turn
around, tell them the name and phone number of where they can buy a Trail Pass locally. Keep in mind that the
person you are dealing with may be new this sport or new to the province and may not be aware that a pass is
required;
9. Give them a copy of your Club map, show them where they are on the map and explain your trail system.
Remember, if you sell yourself, you will also sell your Club and the OFATV, it's good public relations;
10. You are primarily selling the Trail Funding Program and creating a good image. You are NOT a policeman sent
there to interfere with their enjoyment of riding. Do your best to get that across- do not overstep your mandate;
11. Give advice on safety, sped limits, registration, insurance etc when that is helpful. Be prepared to tell them where
the closest place to get fuel and food.
12. If you miss a few sales of Trail Passes do not be disappointed, if you sell any you will have done your job;
NOTE: Ifyou let one go, it may be difficult to charge the next one. If they turn around, advise them where they can
purchase a Trail Pass before re- entering the trail system
13. Do not place your ATV across the trail or erect a barrier to stop riders. If there should be an accident, you could be
liable. Instead, obtain two Stop Signs from your Club and place them on a stick or a tree about 20 feet apart facing
down the trail- one in each direction. Riders are likely to stop when they see the signs there, giving you the
opportunity to talk to them;
14. If a rider has an approved Trail Pass wave him on;
15. Wear your OFATV Trail Warden armband or a reflective vest (recommended) and carry your OFATV Trail
Warden Certification Card;
16. Make notes of any accidents which occur. Most people give their names and addresses voluntarily. Write down the
plate number if possible. Issue a Notification of Trespass ;
17. Report all incidents to your Club and refer any serious incidents the Opp (or local police). They will advise you, if
you find it necessary to lay a trespass charge.;
18. Where it is possible work in pairs. One can leave to show someone the way or to report an incident or for any other
reason, while the other Trail Warden remains at the station;
19. Establish a close relationship with the local police forces. Introduce yourself and above all maintain contact. Patrol
with SAVE or OPP whenever possible;
20. Invite the police to join you on a day on the trail. Most forces with ATV's will jump at the chance. If your local
force does not have a ATV invite them to join you at road crossings;
21. Be familiar with all aspects of your task — The Off -road Vehicle Act, Trespass to Property Act, Highway Traffic
Act, etc. Be ready to use these documents as an aid;
22. DO NOT LAYA HAND ONANYPERSON. Let them go if confrontation is imminent. There is value in working in
pairs — one talks, one watches and takes notes;
23. If you should lose your badge or vest, report it to your Club without delay. They can obtain a replacement for you
by reporting details to the OFATV Office and submitting a signed statement by you certifying that the badge has
been lost;
24. Make notes of any improvements that you would like to see made in the Trail Wardening Program and turn them in
to you Club so that they may be addressed at the next Annual General Meeting;
25. If you have any technical questions about Warden's duties, call your Chief Warden Instructor for advice.

1.4 OFATV USER PAY TRAIL PASS PROGRAM
The major considerations concerning OFATV Trail Wardens are;
• Landowners and Bill 11;
• The fee structure;
• The method of collecting trail fees;
• The allocation of funds collected;
• The accounting of money by trail wardens;
• Alternate locations for payment of fees;
• Conduct of trail wardens.
Building Ontario's ATV Trail Network Club By Club
"Make a difference, join an OFATV Club"
The fee structure is simply- any OFATV Member Club will be able to sell to their registered members, a trail pass. A sticker
and receipt will be issued to the buyer.
The trail wardens may sell a trail pass to the riders on the trail who do not have one on their vehicle or direct the person to the
location that will be able to sell them a pass. The trail passes will expire March 31st of each year.
Be aware that every pass that is sold, directly benefits your Club as well as the OFATV and their numerous trail funding
initiatives.
TRAIL WARDENS:
• will supervise the trails;
• will be selected by participating clubs;
• will be trained by the OFATV with the understanding that it is a three year certification;
• will sell trail passes on the trails;
• will enforce, with limitations, the Trespass to Property Act;
• will be identified by badges or vests and Certification Cards;
• will act as public relations officers and salesmen rather than police.
IN ADDITION:
• Trail Passes may not be sold by Trail Wardens on trails other than their own Club trails for whom they are
registered Trail Wardens and have signed the Confidentiality Agreement;
• Riders without a Trial Pass will be asked to leave the trails or be charged by OPP or SA VE
• OFATV Trail Wardens will be thoroughly conversant with trespass and occupier legislation;
• Administration cost will be kept at a minimum;
• Trails will be subject to inspection and audit;
• OFATV Trail Wardens will practice safety when setting up Pass Stop Stations and when stopping a rider.
The advantalles of this prolzram are:
• Trail maintenance funds will go only to trail building clubs;
• Trail building clubs will be able to draw money from areas that do not maintain trail systems;
• The system will enable Trail Wardens to collect trail fees from riders who never were required to pay or contribute
in any way toward the building and maintenance of the trail systems. The concept of a user pay system is exactly
that, if you use the trail you must contribute to the privilege of riding on those trails.
1.5 OFATV TRAIL WARDEN AUTHORITY
A TRAIL WARDEN CANNOT FORCE A PERSON TO PRODUCE:
REGISTRATION;
LISCENCE;
CLUB MEMBERSHIP.
A TRAIL WARDEN MA Y DO THE FOLL O WING:
• YOU MAY REQUEST;
• YOU MAY REPORT;
• YOU MAY LAY A CHARGE IF THE DRIVER FAILS TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES TO YOU.
STOPPING:
• THE TRAIL WARDEN HAS THE AUTHORITY TO STOP AND REQUEST INFORMATION ON PRIVATE
LAND THAT A TRAIL MAY CROSS OR ON LAND THAT THE CLUB HAS SIGNED A LAND USE
AGREEMENT WITH THE MNR.
LA YING A CHARGE:
• IN AN EXTREME CASE, GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE, APPLY THE 5 W'S (Who, What,
Where, When, Why);
• NOTIFY THE POLICE;
• IF YOU ARE LAYING THE CHARGE CONTACT A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE AND LAY OUT THE
CHARGE. YOU WILL BE ADVISED OF THE PROCEEDURE.
• CARRY A CAMERA AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE SCENE, THE ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE AND /OR THE
PERSON.
Building Ontario's ATV Trail Network Club By Club 4
"Make a difference, join an OFATV Club"
PROSECUTION:
• IF YOU LAY THE CHARGE, YOU ARE IN FACT PROSECUTING.
OFFER TO LEA VE:
• Always give the unpaid rider the OFFER TO LEAVE DO NOT offer LEAVE OR PAY;
• Leave it — most people will OFFER TO PAY even though they may not pay. Offering to pay or leave is
coercion /bribery — does not stand up in court.
CROWN LAND:
• Remember every one has a right to enjoy Crown Land. Trail Passes only apply to trails on private lands or trails
where a LAND USE AGREEMENT has been signed. Take the stand that the Trail Pass is issued to the ATV and
unless that ATV is permitted they are not allowed.
MUNICIPAL LAND:
• Is not our jurisdiction. Township roads or rights of ways do not come into our operations other than the all terrain
vehicles use them.
INSURANCE — REGISTRA TION — ALCOHOL RELA TED ISSUES:
• Or any other information of the ORVA are police matters. OUR AREA OF CONCERN IS TRESPASSING AND
ENFORCING THE USER PAY SYSTEM.
SOME CL UBS MISTAKINGL Y BELIEVE THAT THE NEW SA VE PROGRAM REPLACES WARDENS. NOT SO.
SA VE OFFICERS HA VE THE PO WER TO ENFORCE TRIAL PASSES, AL THOUGH WHERE SA VE PROGRAMS
EXIST, THERE'S NOTHING TO PRE VENT CL UB WARDENS FR OM A CCOMPANYING SA VE OFFICERS TO
ACHIEVE GREATER PERCIEVED INFL UENCE ON CHEATERS. BUT FOR NOW WARDENING IS STILL OUR
BEST BET!

NORTH SIMCOE ATV CLUB - ESPANOLA CHAPTER TO THE RESCUE
Will Schouten, President of the North Simcoe Ail/ Club champions
the trails for the Espanola area.
While vacationing in Webbwood, Will Schouten, President of the
North Simcoe ATV Club ( NSATV) came across a bridge that had been
F a
signed and slated for removal by September 1 2005. The NkLander CM
Bridge was built by the Spanish River Snowmobile Club and
President, Ron Sangster responded to Will's enquiries letting him
know that the snowmobile club was moving the trail and were obliged to remove the bridge as
per their agreement with the local MNR Office.
Time was running out for the local ATVers as the removal of the bridge was imminent and only
through the tremendous efforts on behalf of Will Schouten of the North Simcoe ATV Club was
this bridge and certain trails in the Webbwood area saved. There was continual, fast paced
_ communications with Ron Sangster of the Spanish River Snowmobile Club as well as Bud Hebner
and Brian Rich of the local MNR. Another member of the NSATV joined Will Schouten to
Champion this cause, NSATV member, Jim McKever has been very active in the Webbwood
area, building trails and his help was sincerely welcomed. An agreement was reached by all
parties and in short we have the Ontario Federation of All Terrain vehicle Clubs (OFATV), Ron
Sangster, Spanish Snowmobile club, Brian Riche, and Bud Hebner of the MNR to thank.
The efforts of these individuals have provided ATVers with a huge territory north of Webbwood
and with a lot of hard work and hopefully support from the local ATV community they will be
able to secure traits through Sudbury, Espanola and Little Current.
Left to Right: Brian Riche, Jim McKever, Will Schouten
This is now the adopted area of the North Simcoe ATV Club - Webbwood Chapter (NSATV-W),
and through everyone's efforts they have now developed a valuable relationship with the
Spanish River Snowmobile club and hope to cement a good relationship with other clubs in the
area as they expand.
All of the above efforts were carried out on the backs of volunteers! Volunteers from both the
OFATV and the OFSC to ensure the riding enjoyment of members from both local clubs.
Remember that someone is out there building the traits you are asking for, that 'someone' is
most likely a club volunteer of your local OFATV or OFSC so "ask not what your volunteer
driven club can do for you - Ask what you can do for your local club!"
As a club the NSATV meet every second Thursday of every month at the Community room,
Zehrs Big Bay Point and 'one St in Barrie and everyone is more than welcome to attend. The
Webbwood Chapter will be holding meetings in the Webbwood local area in the winter months
with the location yet to be determined. If you have any ideas please feet free to call or Email
Will Schouten at (705) 436-3937 wshv@sympatico.ca or Jim Aclever at (705)737-0704
mckever0704_erogers.com. The NSATY Website is undergoing changes and can currently be
viewed at www.north-simcoe-atv-ctub.com/nsatv so please watch for club news and events.
Will Schouten states "It is imperative that we take care of our local communities so if there are
things such as cleanups or community charitable events that we can host let us know and we
will be there. We want local ATVers to email or call with suggestions or comments but most of
all, ideas! We have taken a strong lead in traits in this area and must keep up the momentum
by riding, building and signing our traits. We need local businesses to jump in and show their
support as well as local ATVers to show their support by submitting their memberships, but
most of all enjoy each others company and have fun. We are looking forward to meeting and
riding with you all! "
North Simcoe ATV Club takes on the challenge of
cleaning a Trail system
Saturday, June 11, 2005
Despite searing temperatures, followed by torrential downpours and extreme lightning
the North Simcoe ATV Club members volunteered their time and efforts to make a
difference in the area we sometimes ride.
Armed with a 20 yard dump ster and over 25 ATV' s with trailers the club mounted a
much needed clean -up of the Swift River trail area. The Members over a 5 hour period
pulled well in excess of 30 cubic yards of garbage out of the trails that we enjoy with
various other users. The clean -up was in an effort to show the general public that we, the
North Simcoe ATV Club, are committed to ensuring the trails we use are taken care of
with the respect they deserve.
North Simcoe ATV is an affiliated club of the OFATV and is committed to responsible
use of our environment.

Re: Hardtopping Robinson Street
We wanted to request that you include the hard topping of Robinson St in your current budget
This road is a mud bath in the spring and fall. There seems to be tittle or no gravel on the
road. When the grader comes it often only lasts a day or so, then it needs to be done again.
It is our understanding that the cost of grading and oil dust spraying for approximately 2 years
would cover the cost of hard topping the road and thereafter would be a great saving to the
township and taxpayers.
There is also the environmental concern of any oil residue running off into the lake, we have
seen evidence of this and do feel very strongly about it.
We appreciate your time in considering our request; please give it the priority it deserves.
i
Look forward to your response,
The home owners and residents of Robinson St.

of Simcoe that the 2 -1 -1 service should be fully funded by the Province of Ontario and to
advise the province and the County of that position.
It would be appreciated if you would advise the Province and the County of your municipality's
position on this important issue.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

ITEM FOR: HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE
SECTION: Ontario Works
ITEM NO. HS 06 -009
MEETING DATE: January 10, 2006
SUBJECT: Simcoe County 211 - Request for Financial Support
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT one -time funding in the amount of $160,000 to support 211 Simcoe County, as outlined in
Item HS 06 -009, be considered.
BACKGROUND:
In October 2005, Human Services considered Item HS 05 -141, attached as Schedule 2. At that
time the matter was referred to the Strategic Planning session on October 31 and November 1, at
which time staff were to provide a further cost analysis and benefits of the 211 program to the
County. A presentation was provided at the Strategic Planning session, at which time staff was
requested to continue discussions with Simcoe County 211 and report on the rationale for the
requested funding from the County of Simcoe.
Staff at Simcoe County 211 have since provided a detailed report regarding 211, attached as
Schedule 1, which includes:
• Mission and Goals of 211 (Page 1)
• Confirmation of potential funding sources for 2006 (Page 1)
• A budget forecast for 2006/2007 (Page 2)
• Rationale for funding request (Page 3)
• Cost per municipality (Page 4)
• Background Information — Provincial partnership (Page 5)
• Planned Expansion — Central East Ontario (Page 6)
• Cost Benefit Study (Page 7)
• A description of NI l codes and how NI l numbers support and enhance each other (Page
10)
Simcoe County 211 has also provided two recent news articles regarding 211 and 911. The first
article, attached as Schedule 3, discusses how 211 could fill gaps left by 911. The second article,
attached as Schedule 4, identifies that up to 90% of calls to 911 are not for real emergencies.
As Simcoe County 211 is a new initiative for this area, with multiple partners, there are still a
number of unknowns. As such, one -time funding only is being requested for 2006, with a request
for annualized funding to be made in the fall of 2006. As per the request for funding, (Page 1 of
Schedule 1), Simcoe County 211 (Community Connections) will commit to:
January 10, 2006 Human Services Committee HS 06 -009 1�6 — /5 Page 2
• Providing mid -term and year -end detailed financial reports for review.
• Providing quarterly service reports, documenting database statistics, call statistics, caller
surveys, caller follow -up, illustrative case studies, and website trends.
• Work with the I.T. department to support dissemination of the countywide database to
member municipalities and county staff and committees.
Simcoe County 211 is currently providing service to the South Georgian Bay area only, which
includes the Town of Collingwood, the Town of Wasaga Beach and the Township of Clearview.
Should the funding request to the County of Simcoe be denied, Simcoe County 211 will be unable
to roll 211 out to the balance of Simcoe County in 2006 as planned.
Staff are recommending that the request for one -time funding in 2006 be considered and that the
issue of annualized funding be re- visited in the fall of 2006 when additional information will be
available to evaluate the request further.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
Currently the County of Simcoe is providing in -kind hosting services on the County's servers.
Simcoe County 211 is requesting one -time funding in the amount of $160,000 in 2006 to support
the rollout of 211 in Simcoe County. A request for annualized funding will be made in the fall of
2006 when additional information regarding revenues, expenses, service levels, etc are available to
support the request for ongoing funding.
The request for $160,000 from the County of Simcoe will be used to support database staff,
technology infrastructure, related administration and facility costs. This is identified in the Simcoe
County 211 budget on page 2 of Schedule 1.
Funding for the 211 project is not included in the draft 2006 budget.

Funding Assumptions:
211 providers based their work on the following five funding assumptions.
• 211 Ontario is supported by funding for province -wide service delivery, based on the
four -year roll out budget and sustained into the future.
• Community information and referral will be strengthened and form an integral
component of the 211 system across Ontario.
• As the primary funders of community information and referral in Ontario, the United
Ways in Ontario will remain strong partners at the local level.
• Municipalities and regions will continue to support community information and referral.
• Federal funding will support integration and interoperability of 211 provincial systems
across Canada.
Funding for 211:
On April 18, 2006, the Minister of Community and Social Services announced its commitment
to allocate $1.4 million in 2006 -07 to fund the start up costs to the United Way and/or its
partners to establish a province -wide 211 community services information line. 211 Central East
Ontario is seeking funding as follows from the following partners:
September 12, 2006 Human Services Committee HS 06 -136 10 Page 5
Municipalities — to support database editors, technology infrastructure, related administration
and facility costs.
United Ways — to support call centre staff, telecommunications, related administration and
facility costs.
Ministry of Community and Social Services — to support call centre staff, telecommunications,
related administration and facility costs, promotion and public education, disaster and
emergency contingency program.
Central East Ontario has a population of 1,072,763 (2001 Census), in thirteen upper tier
municipalities representing a total of ninety -five municipalities. Community Connection's
municipal funding strategy is to secure annual funding from each upper tier municipality, which
would be allocated to support the database and technology infrastructure for each municipal
region.
211 Central East Ontario cites the following benefits to municipalities related to funding to
support the database and technology infrastructure.
• Each County or District will realize significant cost benefits for their entire human
service system, through an efficient, coordinated, human services information system
accessed through a fully searchable, web - enabled directory.
• A new social policy and planning tool can be produced and used to identify service gaps,
duplication and emergency trends in human services, as 211 will systematically track the
reasons why people call and the services they require.
• Municipal access to the countywide database will provide a tangible product of
significant value currently under utilized by both municipal staff and legislators.
• Provides an annual funding base that will ensure sustainability for the 211 service.
• Diversifies core funding from the three primary stakeholders.
• Eliminates the concern of potential rising annual costs.
• Contributes to the capacity of local data providers who also deliver a range of direct
client services and supports their home communities such as housing services for
residents at risk of being homeless and low cost income tax clinics.
Central East Ontario Roll Out Budget:
Simcoe County is the first region in Community Connection's service expansion. The proposed
,-nil not of 111 in Central Fact Reuion is as follows:
Year
Po ulation
Region/Districts
2005
48,000

2006
377,050

865,924
Bruce, Grey, Muskoka, Peterborough County, Northumberland Count
2008
1,072,763
Kawartba Lakes, Haliburton, Parry Sound, Ni pissing
The Central East Ontario Rollout Budget is detailed on page 55 of the business plan and requests
total municipal funding in the amount of $217,885 in 2006, $432,996 in 2007 and $490,545 in
2008. The amount requested from the County of Simcoe, which includes the separated cities of
Barrie and Orillia is $217,885 in 2006, $188,529 in 2007 and $172,415 in 2008 which works out to
$0.58 per capita in 2006, $0.50 per capita in 2007 and $0.46 per capita in 2008. In comparison, the
September 12, 2006 Human Services Committee HS 06 -136 Page 6
County of Simcoe's contract for the Central Emergency Reporting Bureau which provides 911 to all
areas of the County except for the City of Barrie, the City of Orillia, the Township of Ramara and
the Township of Severn is $127,434 or $0.575 per capita. The OPP answered an average of 5,399
911 calls per month for the period of January to June. 211 Central East Ontario is anticipating a
15% usage rate when rolled out in full in Simcoe County which works out to 56,558 calls annually
or an average of 4,713 calls per month. It should be noted that the amount requested from the
County of Simcoe is towards the maintenance of the database and technology infrastructure, and
funding from other sources is being used to support call centre staff, telecommunications, etc.
Although it is difficult to compare the two services, as one is an emergency call reception and
transfer service while the other is an information and referral system, it is interesting to note that the
per capita cost requested from the County towards each of these services is comparable.
It should also be noted that 211 Central East Ontario has shared a draft Memorandum of
Understanding with the County's Manager of Emergency Planning to clarify how 211 and 911 calls
could be handled should either of the agencies receive a call in error. There were a number of
concerns raised by the 911 Management Board with respect to the memorandum of understanding
as presented and the Manager of Emergency Planning will be preparing a report on these concerns
for a future meeting.
In discussions with the Manager of Emergency Planning, it was also noted that there is the potential
that 211 Central East Ontario could provide additional services for the County of Simcoe related to
its Emergency Plan. For example, the municipal contribution could be considered a retainer in that
211 would be available to act as our public information centre during an emergency. In addition,
they could maintain the County's emergency response plan database as well as the contact
information for the control group. We could also request that 211 be responsible for notification of
the control group in the event of an emergency and for testing the effectiveness of the notification
process quarterly.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
Currently the County of Simcoe is providing in -kind hosting services on the County's servers.
211 Central East Ontario is requesting that the County of Simcoe fund the full amount of $217,885
and invoice the separated cities of Barrie and Orillia for their share of these costs. As 211 Central
East is not a mandatory service provided by the County of Simcoe, it is recommended that the
County of Simcoe only consider covering its share of these costs, and suggest that 211 Central East
Ontario request the balance of these funds directly from the separated cities. Previously 211 Central
East had requested a total $260,000 from the County of Simcoe which included the separated cities,
with $160,000 coming from the County of Simcoe. However, based on the most recent business
plan, this amount has been reduced from $0.678 per capita to $0.58 per capita. Based on a
population base of 235,958 for the County of Simcoe (2001 census data), the County's share at
$0.58 per capita would be $136,855.74. It is thus recommend that one -time funding in the amount
of $137,000 from contingency reserves be provided to support 211 Central East in 2006. It is
further requested that an amount to support 211 in 2007 be considered during budget deliberations
and that the County's participation in this program be reviewed annually.

Mayor & Council of NVCA municipalities O G -NIEED ANT
i TOWNSHIP
Re: Clean Water Act and Role of Conservation Authorities
Dc
Mayor Harry Hughes & Council:
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) is pleased that the
Member provincial government has passed the Clean Water Act (October 2006);
Municipalities nevertheless, we have concerns about the role of Conservation Autho rities as laid
down by the Act, and pending regulations as proposed in a discussion paper released
by the Ministry of the Environment (January 2007).
NVCA CONCERNS
The Clean Water Act makes the NVCA a "Source Protection Authority" (Section
4(2)):
"The Conservation Authority shall exercise and perform the powers and duties
of a drinking water source protection authority under this Act for the source
protection area established by subsection (1)."
In areas where Conservation Authorities have been grouped together in regions, as is
the case with the NVCA, the NVCA is still a "Source Protection Authority" (Section
6(l)):
"If the Minister makes a regulation consolidating two or more source
protection areas into a drinking water source protection region and designating
a lead source protection authority, each source protection authority in the
source protection region shall exercise and perform the powers and duties of a
source protection authority under this Act for its source protection area, subject
to any agreement referred to in subsection (3) or order made under subsection
(5)•"
The Act defines the powers and duties of a "Lead Source Protection Authority"
Watershed which, in the NVCA's case, is Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
Counties ( "LSRCA "). The Act also requires that within 90 days of the establishment of the
"Region" (in the NVCA's case, the South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Region) the
various Conservation Authorities shall enter into an agreement with the Lead
c:r
Authority that spells out who does what, and what powers various bodies have. The
"powers and duties" of the NVCA, then, hinge to a large extent on this agreement.
If the Ministry does not like the agreement, it can amend it (Section 6 (7)). The
NVCA is concerned that its role in source protection planning will be dictated to in a
r -Fe; a manner which gives the Board little control.

The purpose of the recently released Ministry of the Environment discussion paper is
to "stimulate discussion" (p 4). The intent of this letter is to also stimulate
discussion. Most of the discussion paper deals with the proposed regulation on
Source Protection Committees — the actual bodies that will develop source protection
plans -- and the role of these committees in producing three documents:
• terms of reference
• assessment report
source protection plan.
What will the NVCA's role be in developing source protection plans?
NVCA and the Source Protection Committee
Appointment of Chair of Source Protection Committee
o The discussion paper (p 6) suggests it is the "Lead" Source Protection
Authority that proposes names to the Minister who then appoints one
of these people (or someone else) as the Chair. It would appear, then,
that the NVCA is not involved unless this matter is dealt with in the
NVCA - LSRCA agreement.
Appointment of Other Members to the Source Protection Committee
o The discussion paper (pp 6 -14) makes it clear that it is the "Lead"
Source Protection Authority that appoints people to the Source
Protection Committee.' Again, this matter might be dealt with in the
NVCA - LSRCA agreement.
Cross Appointments between the NVCA and the Source Protection
Committee
o NVCA Board members would not be eligible for membership on the
Source Protection Committee. "The Source Protection Committee,
with the exception of the chair, should not be Conservation Authority
Board members as this may have conflict of interest implications." (p
14)
NVCA Staff and the Source Protection Committee
The Clean Water Act requires Conservation Authorities to "provide scientific,
technical and administrative support and resources to the source protection
committee that it establishes." (Section 7 (5)) The NVCA must make its staff and
resources available notwithstanding the terms of any agreement it has with LSRCA
or notwithstanding the provision of any provincial funding.
The discussion paper has to be read with the understanding that every time the term "source
protection authority" is used, it is the "lead source protection authority" being referred to. "In this
document, the reference to a source protection authority refers to the "lead source protection
authority" .... " (p 6)
NVCA and the Source Protection Plans
The Source Protection Committee — with the required assistance of NVCA staff and
resources — will produce a Terms of Reference, an Assessment Report and a Source
Protection Plan. The Act (Sections 9 (a), 16 (a) and 22 (16)) requires the Committee
to submit each of the three documents to the Source Protection Authority. In other
words, and subject to the NVCA -LSRCA agreement, the NVCA will have an
opportunity to comment. There is no "approval" process; just an opportunity to
comment. The difficulty the NVCA will face in doing this is that it will have to rely
on staff to provide opinions of these documents. Given that staff will have been
involved in the preparation of this material — in effect, staff will be working for
another body (the Source Protection Committee) -- it will be difficult for the Board
to have the benefit of completely objective opinions in this process.
SUMMARY
The NVCA Board holds the development of plans to protect drinking water in the
highest regard. It will make whatever staff and/or technical resources it has
available to the Source Protection Committee in the development of source
protection plans as long as there is some compensation for this. The NVCA Board is
concerned that its role in the process of developing source protection plans will not
be understood by our 18 municipalities. The NVCA Board will be designated as an
"Authority" but, in fact, will have little, if anything, to do with the production of a
source protection plan; it will be required to enter into Agreements that the Province
can amend to its liking; it will be required to provide staff and technical assistance
even though there is no mention of funding; its members will be barred from sitting
on the Source Protection Committee even though they are the municipal officials
with the most knowledge of water issues; and, although it will be given an
opportunity to "comment', its ability to do so will be compromised by not having
the proper ability to provide input/review to the development of the source
protection plan.
The NVCA Executive has endorsed the concerns I have expressed in this letter. If
your municipality also has concerns about the pending regulations under the Clean
Water Act, I would ask that you contact the Ministry of the Environment.
Resolutions of support for my concerns would be appreciated.

Fred Nix

Your Comments and Support Requested
Re: the AMO /AMRC Discussion Paper on Strengthening Extended
Producer Responsibilities for Ontario's Blue Box
Issue: The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the Association of Municipal
Recycling Coordinators of Ontario (AMRC) are requesting your comments and support of the
discussion paper on Strengthening Extended Producer Responsibilities for Ontario's Blue Box.
Background:
There is growing concern from residents and environmental groups regarding the widening disconnect
between waste diversion objectives and private sector activities. Notwithstanding the recent initiative by
the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), to establish a deposit return system for all LCBO containers,
there is an increasing trend towards design and production of disposable packaging and non - recyclable
products. This type of producer activity is both counter - intuitive and counter - productive to the mutually
agreed upon objectives of the Waste Diversion Act.
The draft submission endeavours to present a new funding mechanism that more appropriately
accounts for the full cost of Consumer Packaging and Printed Paper (CPPP) in municipal waste
management systems. As well, this paper provides a list of recommendations of how to improve the
effectiveness of the Blue Box through litter reduction initiatives, strengthening of recycling markets and
encouraging Extended Producer Responsibility at the federal level.
The discussion paper can be accessed on the AMO website.
Action:
AMO asks its members to pass a resolution at Council conveying their comments and support to this
discussion paper. AMO /AMRC are also interested to hear your views on cost sharing for these
additional activities.
Please forward your municipality's resolution by April 2, 2007, to:
Association of Municipalities of Ontario Or by Fax to: Milena Avramovic at 416 - 971 -6191

Hi Marilyn:
Yes, I reviewed the correspondence packages that are currently being placed in all trustee
mailboxes and I've suggested that according to our Board Bylaws this be placed on the
Central SCommittee agenda for information. The topic would receive better attention
as well since it would be 'correspondence' material attached to Board agenda and not
be discussed. All 12 Trustees attend our Central Services Committee and the Chairperson
is Donna Armstrong, VC Jodie Lloyd.
Thank you for the correspondence.

ORO- MEDONTE COMMUNITY CHOIRS
DEPUTATION TO COUNCIL
WEDNESDAY FEB. 14, 2007
Mayor Hughes and members of council. First may I wish each of you a very E
bJ �✓ 5
happy valentines day and say I hope you have big hearts tonight. I am here
on behalf of the Oro - Medonte Community Choirs to ask for your support of
a very special project that we are undertaking. I know you are busy, so I will
not take your time to revue the many accomplishments of the choirs since
they began over 11 years ago. I know most, if not all of you, have heard the
choirs perform, and they have done so on many occasions in this council
chamber over the years. You know what a wonderful opportunity has been
provided to these young people and the many audience members who have
enjoyed their gift of song.
The project involves a cross - Canada exchange with a similar youth choir
from North Battleford Saskatchewan. The Battleford youth choir will be
coming to our area for four days at the beginning of June and our youth
choir will be traveling to Saskatchewan to perform at the beginning of July.
The theme of this exchange is "Experiencing the World Through Music" and
will feature a program filled with music from around the world — Mexico,
Serbia, Korea, Germany, Italy, Africa, United States and of course Canada.
Through this music the young people involved will gain an understanding of
the various cultures of the world as well as the differences and similarities
we share in different regions of our own Country.
I
t
During the exchange we will be holding workshops which introduce world
drumming, dance and singing to our young people including one with a
renowned specialist in African music. While in Saskatchewan, we will be
performing in Prince Albert, Hanley and Saskatoon. Through this experience
we will be exposing our young people to the geography, lifestyle, history
and culture of our Saskatchewan neighbours, all with the goal of helping to
build more knowledgeable and compassionate citizens for the future.
When the Battleford Youth Choir visits Oro - Medonte we will be offering
several performances for audiences in the area. On Sunday June 3rd we will
be performing at the Orillia Opera House in a magnificent concert which has
been organized by Orillia Youth Symphony Orchestra also featuring the
Jolliet Youth Symphony Orchestra from Quebec. We also look forward to
being tour guides to show our visitors the many sights that we enjoy within
our Township and surrounding area.
When we undertook this exchange, we had been working with the Arts
Bureau for the Continents, who had been working with SEVEC, a federal
agency which sponsors exchange programs within Canada. Although we
were led to believe we would receive approximately $13,000 from SEVEC ,
we only recently learned that we are not eligible for funding from this source.
With the entire cost of the exchange being approximately $28,000, this lack
of sponsorship has left us in an unmanageable financial situation.
Through previous and current fund raising efforts we have managed to raise
$7,700 and the families of our choir members themselves will contribute
$8000.00. We are actively seeking sponsorship from local businesses,
2
selling ads in our programs, and soliciting donations from individuals, which
we anticipate will provide another $3000.00 towards the overall costs of the
exchange. We will also be able to raise approximately $1000.00 through our
concert revenues.
Unfortunately, this leaves us with an $8000.00 shortfall and it is our hope
that Council will consider granting us this amount. We have always taken
pride in representing our Township over the past years and look forward to
acting as good will ambassadors during this exchange. I know it is a lot to
ask but I hope you will also see the value in this project as a worthy
investment in our young people and our community.
Although I am reluctant to ask for an early decision regarding this request, it
would be extremely helpful if we could know Council's decision by the end
of February in order that we can make all the necessary commitments. If
time permitted we would grace your presence with a song but I hope instead
that we may see all of you at one of our concerts during the exchange.
I have made copies of my presentation and attached a budget to leave with
each of you and if you have any questions I would be happy to answer them.
Thank you for your time and your consideration of our request.

Re: Canterbury Water Supply and Treatment System
Annual Summary Report for 2006
Canterbury Water System supplies 17 homes with water from two (2) ground water
source wells.
Permit to Take Water #92 -P -3028, issued to the Township of Oro - Medonte, authorizes
the withdrawal of water, expiring December 15, 2011. The volume of water withdrawn
from Well #1 and Well #2 shall not exceed 104 m3 (104,544 litres) per day. The water
treatment plant is to be operated to treat water at a rate not to exceed the maximum
flow rate of 209 m3 per day.
WATER QUANTITY
Schedules have been attached showing the "average daily flow" per month, the
"maximum daily flow" per month, the maximum flow of treated water to the distribution
system for the Canterbury system, and the average monthly flow. At no time during
2006 did the "maximum daily flow" exceed the Permit to Take Water or exceed the
maximum flow rate of treated water to the distribution system, as per Section 4.1 of the
Certificate of Approval.
With the installation of the PLC in 2005, the Township is now able to record the
instantaneous peak flow rates of Well #'s 1 and 2. The allowable peak flow rates for
Well #'s 1 and 2 is 1.21 Us, which was exceeded in 2006 on a number of occasions.
This Non- Compliance with the Permit to Take Water was rectified by adjusting the
control valves to limit the flow rate from the wells from 1.53 Us to 121 Us.
The highest "daily flow" for the year from Well #1 occurred on June 17th at 28 m3; Well
#2 occurred on July 25th at 33 m3; and to the distribution system, it was 58 m3 on June
17th. The total annual flow for the Canterbury system was 5,126 m3, which was
comparable to 2005 flows.

To ensure accuracy to within + or — 5% of flow within the range of 10% to 100% of the
full scale reading of the magnetic flow meters, Summa Engineering Limited calibrated
them on September 26, 2006.
WATER QUALITY
Bacteriological samples were taken weekly from the wells, pumphouse and distribution
system, by certified Operators employed by the Township and submitted to Central
Ontario Analytical Laboratory in Orillia. One hundred and eighty (180) samples were
tested for "total coliforms" and "fecal coliforms", and sixty -two (62) tests for HPC, in
2006. There were no detectable results in 2006.
To ensure that the chlorine residual was maintained above 0.2 mg /L in the distribution
system and a free chlorine residual was available in the distribution system, 12%
Sodium Hypochlorite was pumped into the system. An average of 0.31 L/day of Sodium
Hypochlorite was used in the Canterbury system in 2006.
Two hundred and forty -eight (248) daily tests for free chlorine in the distribution system
were performed by certified Township Operators using a "Hack Pocket Colorimeter"
during 2006. These tests were performed to ensure chlorine residual was above 0.2
mg /L in the distribution system.
A Prominent Dulcometer analyses the chlorine residual continuously after the 15 minute
contact time and is recorded by the PLC and forwarded to the Township office via the
wireless communication system.
An On -Line ABB 4670 Series Turbidity Meter measures turbidity continuously after the
15 minute contact time and is recorded by the PLC and forwarded to the Township
office via the wireless communication system.
Raw water turbidity tests are performed monthly by Township staff using a "Hack
Pocket Turbidity Meter' and recorded in the daily log book.
Quarterly water quality analyses sampling was performed by Geospec Engineering Ltd.
in order to satisfy testing parameters for treated water, as per Ontario Regulation
#170/03 dated June, 2003, amended as per Ontario Regulation #247/06 dated June,
2006. Samples were taken by Geospec Engineering Ltd. and forwarded to Lakefield

Cedarbrook Water System supplies 24 homes with water from two (2) ground water
source wells.
Amended Permit to Take Water #4817- 6HJPXP, issued to the Township of Oro -
Medonte, authorizes the withdrawal of water, expiring October 31, 2015 for Well #1 and
Well #2. The withdrawal of water is not to exceed 104 m3 per day, for each Well. The
water treatment plant is to be operated to treat water at a rate not to exceed the
maximum flow rate of 2.27 L /s.
WATER QUANTITY
Schedules have been attached showing the "average daily flow" per month, the
"maximum daily flow" per month, the maximum flow of treated water to the distribution
system for the Cedarbrook system, and the average monthly flow. At no time during
2006 did the "maximum daily flow" exceed the Permit to Take Water.
With the installation of the PLC in 2005, the Township is now able to record the
instantaneous peak flow rates of Well #'s 1 and 2. The allowable peak flow rate for Well
#1 is 2.68 L /s, Well #2 is 2.23 L/s and the distribution system is 2.27 L /s.
On two (2) occasions during 2006, the flow rates for Well #1 were exceeded. On May
121h, the flow rate was between 2.68 L/s — 2.92 L/s for forty -nine (49) minutes for
flushing the water mains. On July 261h, the flow rate was between 2.68 L/s — 2.74 L/s
for twelve (12) minutes for flushing the chlorine analyzer. Both exceedences were for
maintenance of the water system.

Well #2 flow rate of 2.23 Us was exceeded on two (2) occasions during 2006. On May
12th, the flow rate was between 2.73 Lis — 3.06 Us for forty -five (45) minutes and on
July 26th, the flow rate was between 2.36 Lis — 2.49 Lis for twenty -one (21) minutes.
Both dates were for flushing of watermains or chlorine analyzers.
The Permit to Take Water flow exceedences have been rectified by restricting the
amount of flow from each Well to the allowable flow rate of 1.21 Us.
On three (3 occasions during 2006, the distribution flow rate of 2.27 Lis was exceeded.
On May 12t , the flow rate was between 2.35 Lis — 3.06 Lis for forty -nine (49) minutes,
on June 5th, the flow rate was between 2.39 Lis — 2.64 Us for seven (7) minutes and on
July 26th, the flow rate was between 2.34 Lis — 2.74 Us for forty -nine (49) minutes. On
these three (3) occasions, Township staff was flushing watermains, which is
maintenance to the water system and considered acceptable with the Certificate of
Approval.
The highest "daily flow" for the year from Well #1 occurred on July 20th at 30 m3; Well #2
occurred on August 12th at 25 m3; and to the distribution system, it was 41 m3 on August
12th. The total annual flow for the Cedarbrook system was 5,928 m3, which is
comparable to the past two years.
To ensure accuracy to within + or — 5% of flow within the range of 10% to 100% of the
full scale reading of the magnetic flow meters, Summa Engineering Limited calibrated

the flow rate was between 2.73 Us — 3.06 Us for forty -five (45) minutes and on July
26th, the flow rate was between 2.36 Us — 2.49 Us for twenty -one (21) minutes.
The non - compliances with respect to the Permit to Take Water have been rectified by
adjusting the valves for both Wells to restrict their flow to the allowable rate, as indicated
in the Permit to Take Water.
On three (3) occasions during 2006, the distribution flow rate of 2.27 L /s, as per Part 4.1
of Certificate of Approval #5391- 645KPK, was exceeded. On May 12th, the flow rate
was between 2.35 Us — 3.06 Us for forty -nine (49) minutes, on June 5th, the flow rate
was between 2.39 Us — 2.64 Us for seven (7) minutes, and on July 26th, the flow rate
was between 2.34 Us — 2.74 Us for forty -nine (49) minutes. On these three (3)
occasions, Township staff was flushing water mains, which is maintenance to the water
system and considered an acceptable reason within the Certificate of Approval.

Re: Craighurst Water Supply and Treatment System
Annual Summary Report for 2006
Craighurst Water System supplies 51 homes with water from three (3) ground water
source wells.
Permit to Take Water Renewal #4624 - 6HKPJW for Well #'s 1, 2 and 3 was issued to
the Township of Oro - Medonte on October 28, 2005, expiring December 15, 2011. The
withdrawal of water is not to exceed 64 m3 for Well #1, 140 m3 for Well #2, and 229 m3
for Well #3, per day. The combined total of water taken from the three (3) wells is not to
exceed 229 m3 per day. The water treatment plant is to be operated to treat water at a
rate not to exceed the maximum flow rate of 458 m3 per day.
WATER QUANTITY
Schedules have been attached showing the "average daily flow" per month, the
"maximum daily flow" per month, the maximum flow of treated water to the distribution
system for the Craighurst system, and the average monthly flow. At no time during
2006 did the "maximum daily flow" exceed the Permit to Take Water for Well #'s 2 and 3
or exceed the maximum flow rate of treated water to the distribution system, as per
Section 1.3 of the Certificate of Approval.
With the installation of the PLC in 2005, the Township is now able to record the
instantaneous peak flow rates of Well #'s 1, 2 and 3 and the distribution system. The
allowable peak flow rates for Well #1 is 0.75 L /s, Well #2 is 1.62 L /s, Well #3 is 3.38 L/s
and the distribution is 5.30 L /s. During 2006, the peak flow rates for Well #'s 2 and 3
were not exceeded, nor was the distribution system. Well #1 exceeded its allowable
flow rate of .75 L /s, as per Permit to Take Water #4624- 6HKPJW, on eight (8) days
during 2006.

Re: Craighurst — Annual Summary Report for 2006
February 13 2007
On May 16th, Well #1 was flowed at a rate of 0.76 Us — 0.84 Us for fifty -six (56)
minutes, on May 17' at a rate of 0.76 Us — 0.84 Us for two hundred and seventy -five
(275) minutes, on May 19th at a rate of 0.77 Us — 0.8 Us for eight (8) minutes, on June
5th at a rate of 0.77 Us — 0.86 Us for ten (10) minutes, on June 12th at a rate of 0.76 Us
— 0.83 Us for seven (7) minutes, on June 19th at a rate of 0.76 Us — 0.81 Us for twelve
(12) minutes, on July 4th at a rate of 0.76 Us — 0.82 Us for twelve (12) minutes, and on
July 31St at a rate of 0.76 Us — 0.84 Us for seven (7) minutes. All these exceedences
were a result of flowing Well #1 to waste in order to obtain Bacterial samples, as this
Well is not in service.
The highest "daily flow" for the year is as follows:
• Well #1 occurred on May 17th at 13 m3
• Well #2 occurred on June 17th at 52 m3
• Well #3 occurred on June 17th at 90 m3, and
To the distribution system, it was 124 m3 on June 17tH
• The total amount to the distribution system for 2006 was 13,368 m3, which is
20 % lower than 2005 flows.
To ensure accuracy to within + or — 5% of flow within the range of 10% to 100% of the
full scale reading of the magnetic flow meters, Summa Engineering Limited calibrated
them on September 27, 2006.
WATER QUALITY
Bacteriological samples were taken weekly from the wells, pumphouse and distribution
system, by certified Operators employed by the Township and submitted to Central
Ontario Analytical Laboratory in Orillia. One hundred and ninety -seven (197) samples
were tested for "total coliforms" and "fecal coliforms", and sixty -four (64) tests for HPC,
in 2006. There were no detectable results in 2006.
To ensure that the chlorine residual was maintained above 0.2 mg /L in the distribution
system and a free chlorine residual was available in the distribution system, 12%
Sodium Hypochlorite was pumped into the system. An average of 0.66 L /day of Sodium
Hypochlorite was used in the Craighurst system in 2006.
Two hundred and forty -eight (248) daily tests for free chlorine in the distribution system
were performed by certified Township Operators using a "Hack Pocket Colorimeter"
during 2006. These tests were performed to ensure chlorine residual was above 0.2
mg /L in the distribution system.
A Prominent Dulcometer analyses the chlorine residual continuously after the 15 minute
contact time and is recorded by the PLC and forwarded to the Township office via the
wireless communication system.

An On -Line ABB 4670 Series Turbidity Meter measures turbidity continuously after the
15 minute contact time and is recorded by the PLC and forwarded to the Township
office via the wireless communication system.
Raw water turbidity tests are performed monthly by Township staff using a "Hack
Pocket Turbidity Meter" and recorded in the daily log book.
Quarterly water quality analyses sampling was performed by Geospec Engineering Ltd.
in order to satisfy testing parameters for treated water, as per Ontario Regulation
#170/03 dated June, 2003, amended as per Ontario Regulation #247/06 dated June,
2006. Samples were taken by Geospec Engineering Ltd. and forwarded to Lakefield

Re: Harbourwood Water Supply and Treatment System
Annual Summary Report for 2006
Harbourwood Water System supplies 131 homes with water from two (2) ground water
source wells. (Well #1 has been abandoned, in accordance with Ontario Regulation
#903).
Permit to Take Water #8643- 6HKK9K for Well #'s 2 and 3 was issued to the Townshi
of Oro - Medonte on February 17, 2006, expiring January 31, 2014, permitting 921 m ,
per day for Well #2, or 921 m3, per day for Well #3. The water treatment plant is to be
operated to treat water at a rate not to exceed the maximum flow rate of 921 m3, per
day, in total.
WATER QUANTITY
Schedules have been attached showing the "average daily flow" per month, the
"maximum daily flow" per month, the maximum flow of treated water to the distribution
system for the Harbourwood system, and the average monthly flow. At no time during
2006 did the "maximum daily flow" exceed the Permit to Take Water. On twenty -two
(22) occasions, the maximum flow rate of 10.6 Us was exceeded to the distribution
system.
With the installation of the PLC in 2005, the Township is now able to record the
instantaneous peak flow rates of Well #'s 2 and 3 and the distribution system. The
allowable peak flow rates for Well #'s 2 and 3 is 15.68 Us and the distribution system is
10.6 Us. On July 6th the flow rate was between 43.15 Us — 44.78 Us for eight (8)
minutes as a result of Township staff flushing watermains. This is not a non - compliance
with the Certificate of Approval, as flushing is considered an acceptable reason.

On April 4th, the flow rate was 16.56 Us — 33.64 Us for fourteen (14) minutes, on May
26th, the flow rate was 45 Us — 45 Us for eight (8) minutes, on June 4th, the flow rate
was 20.67 Us — 33.22 Us for fifty (50) minutes, on June 15th, the flow rate was 10.82
Us — 14.64 Us for seven (7) minutes, on June 16th, the flow rate was 10.77 Us — 11.79
Us for seven (7) minutes, on June 17th, the flow rate was 10.61 Us — 12.16 Us for nine
(9) minutes, on June 21St, the flow rate was 10.64 Us — 14.48 Us for forty -seven (47)
minutes, on June 22nd, the flow rate was 10.73 Us — 14.87 Us for one hundred and ten
(110) minutes, on June 23`d, the flow rate was 11.15 Us — 15.8 Us for sixty -eight (68)
minutes, on June 24th, the flow rate was 10.68 Us — 15.69 Us for one hundred and fifty -
five (155) minutes, and on August 13th, the flow rate of 11.16 Us — 13.25 Us for
fourteen (14) minutes.
As none of these flow rates were for an acceptable reason, the M.O.E. required the
Township to take appropriate steps to ensure the flow rates were not exceeded in the
future. The Township has made an application to the M.O.E. to have the distribution
flow rates increased. Since the Township's application, the M.O.E. is now considering
distribution flow in cubic meters, per day, instead of L /s, which would mean that the
Harbourwood distribution flows would not have been in non - compliance with the
Certificate of Approval.
The highest "daily flow" for the year from Well #2 occurred on June 24th at 305 m3; Well
#3 occurred on August 18th at 250 m3; and to the distribution system, it was 489 m3 on
June 24th. The total flow to the distribution system for 2006 was 41,645 m3, which is 7%
higher than last year.
New magnetic flow meters have been installed on Well #'s 2 and 3 to record flows from
each Well, and flow to the distribution system.
To ensure accuracy to within + or — 5% of actual rate of flow within the range of 10% to
100% of the full scale reading of these magnetic flow meters, Summa Engineering
Limited calibrated them on September 26, 2006.
WATER QUALITY
Bacteriological samples were taken weekly from the wells, pumphouse and distribution
system, by certified Operators employed by the Township and submitted to Central
Ontario Analytical Laboratory in Orillia. Two hundred and sixty -three (263) samples
were tested for "total coliforms" and "fecal coliforms" in 2006. There were no detectable

Re: Horseshoe Highlands — Annual Summary Report for 2006
February 13 2007
The highest "daily flow" for the year from Well #1 and to the distribution system occurred
on June 17th at 1,232 m3. Well #2 was not in service during 2006. The total annual
distribution flow for the Horseshoe system was 161,176 m3, which is a 17% decrease
over 2005.
On September 5, 2002, the irrigation system for the Highlands Golf Course was
disconnected from the municipal water system. Flows dropped dramatically after this.
To ensure accuracy to within + or — 5% of flow within the range of 10% to 100% of the
full scale reading of these magnetic flow meters, Summa Engineering Limited calibrated
them on September 27, 2006.
WATER QUALITY
Bacteriological samples were taken weekly from the wells, pumphouse and distribution
system, by certified Operators employed by the Township and submitted to Central
Ontario Analytical Laboratory in Orillia. Two hundred and sixty -five (265) samples were
tested for "total coliforms" and "fecal coliforms" in 2006. There were no detectable
results in 2006.
To ensure that the chlorine residual was maintained above 0.2 mg /L in the distribution
system and a free chlorine residual was available in the distribution system, 12%
Sodium Hypochlorite was pumped into the system. An average of 3.65 L/day of Sodium
Hypochlorite was used in the Horseshoe Highlands system in 2006.
Three hundred and eighty -eight (388) daily tests for free chlorine in the distribution
system were performed by certified Township Operators using a "Hack Pocket

Re: Horseshoe Highlands — Annual Summary Report for 2006 °
February 13 2007
The results of the treated samples did not reveal any health related reportable
exceedences during 2006.
On April 23, 2004, the Ministry of the Environment issued Amended Certificate of
Approval #3693- 5YBP9A for the Horseshoe Highlands Water Supply System, for the
installation of pipe work and valves for flow measurement of Well #2.
"COMPLIANCE WITH TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF
APPROVAL"
Under Section 5, Upgrading Requirements, of the previous Certificate of Approval, the
Township was required to have physical improvements, which were completed in 2003.
"NON- COMPLIANCE WITH TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF
APPROVAL"
On August 22, 2006, the Ministry of the Environment inspected the Horseshoe
Highlands Water System to confirm compliance with current Regulations and to review
the Permit to Take Water and Certificate of Approval.
From this inspection, the Ministry identified three (3) "non- compliance with regulatory
requirements and actions required ", attached as Schedule I.
During the inspection of the Horseshoe Highlands water system, it was brought to the
Township's attention that an additional bacteriological sample was required for water
systems serving more than 1,000 people. As the Township does not have the exact
population of the Horseshoe area, we started taking the extra sample in accordance
with the requirements of Section 10 -2 (1) (a) of Schedule 10 of Ontario Regulation
#170/03, amended to Ontario Regulation #247/06.
Flow rate exceedences of 39 L/s for both Well #1 and the distribution system were
identified in the WATER QUANTITY section of this report and Township actions.
"BEST PRACTICES RECOMMENDATIONS"
From the August 22nd inspection, the Ministry did not identify any best practices for the
Horseshoe Highlands Water System.
Any further information required with respect to this Summary Report for the Horseshoe
Highlands Water System should be directed to the undersigned at (705) 487 -2171.

Re: Medonte Hills Water Supply and Treatment System
Annual Summary Report for 2006
Medonte Hills Water System supplies 140 homes with water from two (2) ground water
source wells.
Permit to Take Water #92 -P -3029 was issued to the Township of Oro- Medonte
authorizing the withdrawal of water, expiring December 15, 2011, for Well #1 and Well
#2. The withdrawal of water is not to exceed 327 m3 from Well #1 and 393 m3 from Well
#2 per day. The water treatment plant is to be operated to treat water at a rate not to
exceed the maximum flow rate of 393 m3, per day, as per Section 1.2 of the Certificate
of Approval.
WATER QUANTITY
Schedules have been attached showing the "average daily flow" per month, the
"maximum daily flow" per month, the maximum flow of treated water to the distribution
system for the Medonte Hills system, and the average monthly flow. At no time during
2006 did the "maximum daily flow" exceed the Permit to Take Water or exceed the
maximum flow rate of treated water to the distribution system for Well #1. During 2006,
Well #2 flow exceedence reports indicate that the maximum flow rate of 4.55 L/s was
exceeded on July 12th at a rate of 6.31 L/s for one hundred and sixteen (116) minutes
and on July 14th at a rate of 6.31 L/s for two hundred and five (205) minutes. Township
staff removed an extra flow meter in the Medonte Hills pump house on July 12th, which
caused this meter to read incorrectly. The PLC was recalibrated. The #2 well pump is
unable to pump at a rate of 6.31 L /s, as indicated on the report.
With the installation of the PLC in 2005, the Township is now able to record the
instantaneous peak flow rates of Well #'s 1 and 2 and the distribution system. The
allowable peak flow rates for Well #1 is 3.78 L /s, and Well #2 and the distribution
system is 4.55 L /s.

Re: Medonte Hills — Annual Summary Report for 2006
February 13 2007
The highest "daily flow" for the year from Well #1 occurred on June 18th at 138 m3; Well
#2 occurred on June 17th at 147m3; and to the distribution system, it was 174 m3 on
June 17th. The total annual flow for the Medonte Hills system was 34,940 m3, which is a
10% decrease in flow from 2005.
To ensure accuracy to within + or — 5% of flow within the range of 10% to 100% of the
full scale reading of these magnetic flow meters, Summa Engineering Limited calibrated
them on September 27, 2006.
WATER QUAILITY
Bacteriological samples were taken weekly from the wells, pumphouse and distribution
system, by certified Operators employed by the Township and submitted to Central
Ontario Analytical Laboratory in Orillia. Two hundred and sixty -three (263) samples
were tested for "total coliforms" and "fecal coliforms" in 2006. There was one detectable
result in 2006 for 'total coliforms ", resamples were taken and the results came back
negative.
To ensure that the chlorine residual was maintained above 0.2 mg /L in the distribution
system and a free chlorine residual was available in the distribution system, 12%
Sodium Hypochlorite was pumped into the system. An average of 0.78 L /day of Sodium
Hypochlorite was used in the Medonte Hills system in 2006.
Three hundred and ninety -one (391) daily tests for free chlorine in the distribution
system were performed by certified Township Operators using a "Hack Pocket
Colorimeter" during 2006. These tests were performed to ensure chlorine residual was
above 0.2 mg /L in the distribution system.
A Prominent Dulcometer analyses the chlorine residual continuously after the 15 minute

BACKGROUND:
Delivering timely service during a medical emergency often determines whether or not the person[s]
survive.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurs in many cases with
ranges, either because of genetic defects, heart d
other accident.
little or no warning and can afflict people of all age
cease, or as the result of an injury, electrocution or
It has been shown in a number of medical studies that providing an electrical shock to the heart when
it is called for can restart the heart and greatly increase the survivability of a heart attack. In the case
of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, the window of time in which this shock, or defibrillation, has the best
chance of being effective, is within 5 minutes of the onset of the attack.
The average response time of most volunteer fire departments is 12 minutes, most paramedic
services, 18 minutes.
The advent of easily deployed Public Access Defibrillators [PAD's] allows us to have the tools at
hand required to save lives, and deliver that service within the time frame to have the best chance of
preventing death.
ANALYSIS:
Guthrie Arena is the largest public occupancy operated by the Township. During its operating
season, hundreds of people pass through the doors each day to partake in a range of sports
activities.
The Simcoe County Paramedic Service is sponsoring a program that places Public Access
Defibrillators [PAD's] in buildings like or arena so that in the event a Sudden Cardiac Arrest incident
should occur there, the tools to intervene will be at hand.
The program being offered by SCPS is very low cost and low maintenance to the Township. Other
than the periodic maintenance required to make sure that the unit is intact, SCPS looks after
everthing, including providing training to staff in defibrillation operation and the provision of a `loaner'
when ours is out of service for maintenance or testing.
The cost to the Township is $330.00 every two years.
We will be required to have a Letter of Understanding with the SCPS which outlines the parameters
that govern this program [Appendix 11
Also attached to this report is an Information brochure on the PAD program [Appendix 21
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. THAT Report No. FD- 2007 -3 be received;
2. THAT the Township enter into an agreement with the Simcoe County Paramedic Service to

What is Defibrillation?
The only effective treatment for VF is an electrical shock called defibrillation. Defibrillation is
an electrical current applied to the chest, and to be successful, should be administered within
3 to 5 minutes after collapse. The electrical current passes through the heart with the goal of
stopping the VF and giving an opportunity for the heart's normal electrical system to take
control and pump blood again. After 10 minutes without defibrillation, very few resuscitation
attempts are successful. An AED can defibrillate the heart.
What does AED stand for?
AED stands for automated external defibrillator.
What is an AED?
The automated external defibrillator (AED) is a computerized medical device. An AED can
check a person's heart rhythm. It can recognize a rhythm that requires a shock. And it can
advise the rescuer when a shock is needed. The AED uses voice prompts, lights, and text
messages to tell the rescuer the steps to take.
AEDs are very accurate and easy to use. Lay rescuers with a few hours of training can
operate an AED safely. There are many different brands of AEDs. But the same basic steps
operate all AEDs. For compatibility, Paramedic Services encourages potential AED buyers to
purchase a specific unit however it is up to the individual facility to purchase an AED.
What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) simply means that the heart unexpectedly and abruptly quits
beating. This is usually caused by an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF)
Approximately 35 to 40 thousand Canadians suffer SCA each year without warning. It can
leave the victim dead within a matter of minutes.
Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest the same as a heart attack?
No. A heart attack is a condition in which the blood supply to the heart muscle is suddenly
blocked, resulting in the death of the heart muscle. Heart attack victims usually (but not
always) experience chest pain and usually remain conscious. Heart attacks are serious and
sometimes will lead to sudden cardiac arrest. However, sudden cardiac arrest may occur
independently from a heart attack and without warning signs. SCA results in death if not
treated immediately.

Who is at risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
SCA is difficult to predict and most victims have no prior symptoms. Anyone who has
suffered SCA, a heart attack, or knows they have an arrhythmia may be at greater risk for this
condition. While the average age of sudden cardiac arrest victims is around 65, sudden
cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at anytime.
What is Ventricular Fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is an abnormal heart rhythm often seen in sudden cardiac arrest.
This rhythm is caused by an abnormal and very fast electrical activity in the heart. VF is
chaotic and unorganized; the heart just quivers and cannot effectively pump blood. VF will be
short lived and will deteriorate to asystole (a flat line) if not treated promptly. For each minute
that VF persists, the likelihood of successful resuscitation decreases by approximately 10
percent
What's public access to defibrillation?
Public access to defibrillation (PAD) means making AEDs available in public and /or private
places where large numbers of people gather or people who are at high risk for heart attacks
live.
Why is notifying the local Paramedic Services important?
It's important for the local Paramedic Services to know where AEDs are located in the
community. In the event of a sudden cardiac arrest emergency, the 9 -1 -1 dispatcher will know
if an AED is on the premises and will be able to notify responding Paramedic Units as well as
the other response agencies.
Why should a licensed physician or medical authority be involved with purchases of
AEDs?
This is a quality control mechanism. The licensed physician or medical authority will
recommend and provide advice to ensure that all designated responders are properly trained
and that the AED is properly maintained.
Why should people who are responsible for operating an AED receive CPR training?
Early CPR is an integral part of providing lifesaving aid to people suffering sudden cardiac
arrest. The ventilation and compression skills learned in a CPR class help to circulate oxygen -
rich blood to the brain. After delivering a series of three electric shocks, the typical AED will
prompt the operator to continue CPR while the device continues to analyze the patient.
If defibrillation is so important, why should I do CPR?
CPR provides some circulation of oxygen -rich blood to the victim's heart and brain. This
circulation delays both brain death and the death of the heart muscle. CPR buys some time
until the AED can arrive, and it also makes the heart more likely to respond to defibrillation.

If AEDs are so easy to use, why is formal training in how to use them recommended?
An AED operator must know how to recognize the signs of a sudden cardiac arrest, when to
activate the EMS system, and how to do CPR. It's also important for operators to receive
formal training on the AED model they will use so that they become familiar with the device
and are able to successfully operate it in an emergency. Training also teaches the operator
how to avoid potentially hazardous situations.
My health club has identified a member physician willing to purchase an AED for the
club. What's the first step in the process?
Contact the County of Simcoe Paramedic Services. We can assist in program development
and implementation.
There is a reluctance to use AEDs for fear of potential litigation. What legislation is
currently in effect to protect first responders who use an AED?
In Ontario, volunteer rescuers who use AEDs in an emergency have liability protection under
the Good Samaritan act. Liability for use of an AED in an emergency is almost non - existent.
AEDs are slowly becoming the "standard of care" much like a first aid program in a workplace.
While it is always wise to consider the legal implications, prospective AED users should be
reassured. No person or organization has ever been targeted in a legal action as a result of
using an AED. However, many organizations have been sued in the U.S. for not having
AEDs at large public locations.
What if the victim is a child?
Most AEDs can safely defibrillate a child 8 years old and up. It is recommended that no one
under the age of 1 should receive defibrillation with an automated external defibrillator.
Facilities interested in pediatric pads should contact the PAD program coordinator.
Are there any safety considerations when using an AED?
The AED uses electrical shocks to reset the heart's normal rhythm. Therefore there are some
safety considerations that should be observed when using an AED. The person operating the
AED must ensure no one is touching the victim while delivering a shock and ensure that the
rescuers and victim are not in water or touching metal objects. The AEDs limit the risk by
having the ability to detect movement caused by someone touching the victim and will alarm
the operator to stop motion. Finally, participating in a training session on the AED will
address all safety guidelines relating to AED use.
How much does an AED cost?
The price of an AED varies by make and model. Through a partnership established with the
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, Paramedic Services will purchase and install an AED
along with the support services for $3500 per device.

What steps should an organization take to buy an AED for its premises?
Any person or entity wanting to buy an AED should work with The County of Simcoe
Paramedic Services to establish the program. The AED should be placed in use within
defibrillation program that includes these elements:
Training of all users in CPR and operation of an AED.
Physician oversight to ensure appropriate maintenance and use of the AED.
Notification of local EMS of type and location of AED.
How can I enroll in a CPR or AED class?
The County of Simcoe Paramedic Services offers free CPR and AED training to participating
facilities as well as mass CPR training sessions that is free to the anyone in the community.
Please contact 705 - 726 -9300 ext 1091
What kind of training on AEDs is available?
Participants will be taught basic life support skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) through the Heart & Stroke Foundation of
Canada emergency cardiac care program. The Heart and Stroke basic life support training
program is the premier CPR and AED training program in Canada and is certified through
WSIB for workplace requirements.

Important Take -Home Messages'
• Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death among adults in North
America.
• A combination of early access, early CPR, early defibrillation and early advanced care
can save as many as one -third to one -half of sudden cardiac arrest victims in treatablE
heart rhythms.
• The shorter the time from collapse to defibrillation, the better the chances of survival.
The County of Simcoe
Paramedic Services
Public Access Defibrillation Program
January 2006
• Anyone who has a duty to respond to victims of sudden cardiac arrest should be
trained and equipped with a defibrillator.
• It is important for AED programs to have a physician advisor.
• AEDS are simple to use; training takes about two to four hours and established training
programs are readily available.
• Creating public awareness and support for your community AED program requires
teamwork, but is well worth the effort.
• Finding funding for your AED program may be easier than you think.
Well- planned AED programs are generally cost - effective, especially when compared
with other public health initiatives.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heartbeat stops
suddenly and unexpectedly. It is caused by life- threatening arrhythmias
and abnormalities in the heart's electrical system.
The heart beats so chaotically that it is unable to pump blood to the body
and brain.
A SCA victim first loses his or her pulse, then consciousness, and finally
the ability to breathe. Without immediate treatment, the victim almost
always dies.
Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest the same as a Heart Attack?
A SCA is not the same thing as a heart attack, although a person suffering
from a heart attack is more likely to develop abnormal heart rhythms
leading to a SCA.
A heart attack is caused by a blocked flow of blood to the heart muscle so
the muscle begins to die. A SCA is caused by an abnormal heart rhythm.
Heart attack victims usually remain conscious, whereas SCA victims
always lose consciousness.
Who is at risk?
SCA is unpredictable and can happen to anyone, anywhere — even to a
child. Risk increases with age.
Heart disease is a common cause of cardiac arrest but many victims have
never had any heart problems.
Prevalence of Sudden Cardiac Arrest
• SCA is a leading cause of death, killing 40,000 Canadians each year.
How is Sudden Cardiac Arrest treated?
• The only way to effectively treat SCA is with an electrical shock delivered
by a defibrillator. Delivering a shock that returns the heart to a normal
heart rhythm is called defibrillation.
Why AEDs in the Community?
Strengthening the Chain of Survival
• The American Heart Association has defined a chain of survival that is
recognized worldwide as the standard of care:
CA,
➢ Early access to emergency medical systems (911)
➢ Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
➢ Early defibrillation
➢ Early advanced emergency treatment
r
' m
• The American Heart Association endorses AED implementation for first
responders when EMS call -to -shock time of <5 minutes cannot be reliably
achieved with conventional EMS services.
• Two out of every three deaths related to sudden cardiac arrest happen
outside of the hospital.
Restoration of an adequate perfusing rhythm requires defibrillation and
advanced cardiovascular care, which must be administered within a few
minutes of the initial arrest. The use of AEDs increases the range of
personnel who can use a defibrillator, shortening the time between
collapse and defibrillation.'
• Every minute without defibrillation, survival rates plunge up to ten percent.

• Without immediate treatment, only 5 % of people survive SCA.
What is an Automated External Defibrillator?
• An AED is a small, portable device that analyzed the heart's rhythm and
prompts the user to deliver a defibrillation shock if it determines that one is
needed.
• Once the AED is turned on, the AED guides the user through each step of
the defibrillation process through voice /visual prompts.
• AEDs are specially designed for easy use by a "first responder" who would
be the first person to typically arrive on the scene.

The initial contact for all emergency services has evolved into what we now know as `9 -1 -1'. The
facility that manages these calls is referred to as a `Community Emergency Reporting Bureau', or
`CERB'.
The majority of the County of Simcoe and its' member municipalities have contracted its 9 -1 -1 call -
answering service to the Ontario Provincial Police for the past number of years. The exceptions
within the County are the City of Orillia, who provides CERB service to Severn and Ramara
Townships as well as for themselves
The County's contract with the OPP is due for renewal in 2007 for a three -year term [to March, 2010].
This contract is costed out on a per capita basis. [See Analysis]
ANALYSIS:
This service is the starting point for the call for help that initiates emergency service response.
Whether it's Police, Fire Department or EMS, over 98% of our combined calls for assistance come
through the `CERB' 9 -1 -1 system.
The Fire and Emergency Services Department notes that the service provided by the OPP for this
function has been adequate but we have had concerns at times regarding the timeliness of call-
answering, the ability of the North Bay facility during periods of peak demand and difficulty in our
investigations when questioning the performance of the CERB in specific situations. Our ability to
determine call processing times and investigate individual issues have been stymied under the
current contract.
� (�'' -
Our concerns have led to a modification to this contract renewal to include a monthly report on
performance by the OPP to demonstrate their CERB's call- answering performance. Article 4.11 of
the new contract will require that we be provided information on a monthly basis to monitor the
performance of the contracted work. This accountability is a good step forward in our assurance that
the system is performing to expectations.
The cost of this service in the new contract is based on a per capita charge of $0.561. The
population number offered by the County for Oro - Medonte is 20340, [Hemson forecast] which would
result in a charge of $11,410.74 for financial year 2007. This is a small decrease from previous
contract rates which was $0.575 per capita. By comparison, the City of Orillia CERB, managed by the
Fire Dept., charges $0.80 cents per capita.
The annual charge will be divided and paid to the County on a quarterly basis.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. THAT Report No. FD- 2007 -4 be received;
2. That the Township enter into this agreement along with Simcoe County and the Ontario Provincial
Police for the provision of CERB services for 2007 -10;
3. That we continue to work with the County to monitor the CERB service provided;
4. and that the Clerk bring forth the appropriate bylaw.
