The Honourable Dalton McGuinty
Premier of Ontario
Queen's Park, Room 281
Main Legislative Building
Toronto, ON M7A 1A1
Dear Premier McGuinty:
The Township of Oro - Medonte is a member of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation
Authority (NVCA). The NVCA has solicited the Township's support of the
Conservation's concerns with respect to the role of Conservation Authorities as laid
down by the Clean Water Act and pending regulations, as proposed in a discussion
paper, released by the Ministry of the Environment.
The NVCA will be designated as an "Authority" but will have little, if anything, to do with
the production of a source protection plan. They will also be required to enter into
Agreements that the Province can amend and will be required to provide staff and
technical assistance with no mention of funding. The NVCA will not be included to sit
on the Source Protection Committee even though they are the body with the most
knowledge of the area's water issues. In addition, NVCA staff that have been involved
in the preparation of any material will be working for another body (the Source
Protection Committee). This will be difficult for the NVCA Board to have the benefit of
providing completely objective opinions.
The Township of Oro - Medonte, with NVCA, holds the development of plans to protect
drinking water in the highest regard. Accordingly, the Township of Oro - Medonte has
passed a resolution (attached) in support of the NVCA's concerns and respectfully
request your favourable consideration to the Authority's opinion.
Yours

Dear Premier McGuinty:
The Corporation of the County of Simcoe has requested support in their petition to the
Province that the 2 -1 -1 service should be fully funded by the province of Ontario.
211 cites many benefits to municipalities related to funding to support database and
technology infrastructure. Municipal access to the countywide database will provide a
tangible product of significant value currently utilized by both municipal staff and
legislators. Also a new social policy and planning tool can be produced and used to
identify service gaps, duplication and emergency trends in human services as 2 -1 -1 will
systematically track the reasons why people call and the services they require. In
addition, 2 -1 -1 contributes to the capacity of local data providers who deliver a range of
direct client services to support their home communities.
The Township of Oro - Medonte recognizes the benefits of the 2 -1 -1- service and has
passed a resolution in support of The County of Simcoe's motion. Therefore, on behalf
of Council of the Township of Oro - Medonte, I respectfully request your favourable
consideration to the County of Simcoe's position.
Yours truly,

We are pleased to announce that as of May 31, 2007 the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit
office properties in Barrie and Gravenhurst will be 100 per cent smoke free.
We recognize the importance of modelling healthy behaviours in our community and within our
workplace. Our goal is to make all of our office locations 100 per cent smoke free as we
continue to build relationships with our fellow tenants and landlords.
Smoke -free environments support healthy role modeling to our youth, and also have a positive
impact on the number of times people will try to quit using tobacco. Our Chronic Disease
Prevention — Tobacco Program has been supporting businesses and agencies to take this and
other similar steps in our community. Moving forward with this initiative demonstrates our
commitment to healthy living.
This new policy means that all health unit staff and students, as well as visitors to the Barrie and
Gravenhurst offices will be asked to refrain from smoking while on our property, including in
their vehicles. Signs will be posted in parking lots and at building entrances. Information will be
available at our office locations, as well as on our website to assist with answering questions
that may arise.
Our staff will be helping to inform the public as well as anyone who visits our properties of this
new policy. Beginning May 31 we will bring this policy to the attention of those who are smoking
on the property.
We are also pleased that the North Simcoe Hospital Alliance has announced its plans to
implement a smoke -free grounds policy as of May 12, 2007. This means the health unit office
location In Midland, which is situated on hospital property, will also have 100 per cent smoke -
free grounds.
We value our partnership, and hope that you will support us in our endeavour to model healthy
behaviours in our community. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,

Department:
Request to temporarily reside
Building /Planning
in a trailer, West Part of Lot
11, Concession 13 (Oro),
Township of Oro - Medonte,
2103 Old Barrie Road East
Council
C. of W.
Date: April 17, 2007
Motion #
R.M. File #:
Date:
Roll #: 010 005 112
FBAqKGROUND:
The proponent is currently the prospective owners of the above noted property, which is
approximately 40.8 acres, and is located on the south side of Old Barrie Road, west of Line 13 North
(refer to Attachment #1). The property is currently vacant, and it is the proponent's intention to
construct a dwelling thereon for their permanent residence.
During construction, the proponent has asked that the Township grant permission to temporarily
reside in a trailer. The request is appended to this report as Attachment #2. Ms. Critchley has
indicated that they are selling their current residence located nearby at 976 Line 13 North, as would
like to reside on the property temporarily in a travel trailer for security reasons given the remoteness
of the property and potential for theft or vandalism of building materials during construction. The
Township's Comprehensive Zoning By -law 97 -95 does not permit human habitation in a trailer,
therefore permission is required in order to permit this temporary accommodation.
DISCUSSION:
The Township has historically allowed owners to temporarily reside in existing dwellings or trailers
and allow for a building permit to be issued for a new dwelling. This practice has been followed
jb-
contrary to the Township's Zoning By -law, which only allows one dwelling per property and prohibits
human habitation of a trailer (outside of licensed trailer parks), however is a reasonable compromise
to assist owners in these cases. A financial deposit and agreement stipulating the terms of the
approval will be required with the registered owners which ensures compliance after the new dwelling
is complete. A twelve month timeframe has been granted in the past in these cases.
It is understood that a septic system for the new dwelling will be constructed first, and the travel trailer
will be connected to the system while the dwelling is being completed. Depending on when the
permits will be applied for and issued, the owners have made arrangements with a nearby trailer park
to dump the grey and black water tanks as required until the septic is installed.
A $5,000 security deposit is required by the Township prior to issuance of a building permit for the
new dwelling.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. THAT Report No. BP 2007 -016 be received and adopted.
2. That Council authorizes the request of Helena Critchley to temporarily reside in a trailer for a
twelve month period while her new dwelling is being constructed.
3. That the Clerk bring forward to appropriate by -law authorizing the attached agreement to this
effect.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Mr. Hoppe:

I am writing this letter to request permission to place a temporary travel trailer on a new property
that we have purchased. The address of the new property is 2103 Old Barrie Rd.E., RRI,
Hawkestone; Ontario, LOL ITO. We are building a new home on said property, and wish to live
on site to oversee the construction. The effective date would be May 1, 2007. We anticipate
moving into our new home before Winter 2007/08. Please advise if we have permission to do so.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Motion #
Date:
Subject: Tax Exemption —
Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 619
Department: Treasury
Date: April 19, 2007
R.M. File #:
Roll #: 43 46 020 004 14001
BACKGROUND:
Section 6.1 of the Assessment Act provides that "a municipality may pass by -laws exempting from
taxation, other than school taxes, land that is used and occupied a memorial home, clubhouse or
athletic grounds by persons who served in the armed forces of His or her Majesty or an ally of His or
Her Majesty in any war." The period of the exemption cannot exceed ten years.
Such an exemption from taxation for Township purposes was granted to the Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 619 of Warminster for the taxation years of 2002 and 2003, and again for the subsequent
term of Council, being 2004, 2005 and 2006.
ANALYSIS:
The Legion's property is assessed at 331,000 RT. 2007 taxes for Township purposes will be
$1,096.90.
It is recommended that the previously established policy of granting an exemption be continued and
the term of the exemption be for the term of Council, being the 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 taxation
years.
Please note that an exemption is also available for taxation for County purposes. The Legion must
apply to the County for a refund of these taxes.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. THAT Report No. TR2007 -11 be received and adopted.
2. THAT an exemption from taxation for Township purposes be granted to the
Legion Branch 619 Warminster for the taxation years 2007, 2008, 2009 and
3. THAT the appropriate by -law be brought forward for Council's consideration

Motion#
Date:
Roll #:
11BACKGROUND:
In previous years, Council has approved a summer recess of the regularly scheduled
Council and Committee of the Whole meetings for the months of July and August, but
has traditionally scheduled one meeting during each month to ensure that Township
business continues to move forward.
ANALYSIS:
Consideration was given to equally balance the meetings between the regular meeting
schedule ending in June and beginning in September.
The last regularly scheduled meeting in June is a Council meeting to be held on
Wednesday, June 27, 2007.
The following, for Council's consideration, is a suggested summer recess schedule (a
calendar view of the below suggested meeting dates is attached):
Wednesday, July 18, 2007 @ 9:00 am
Committee of the Whole followed by a Special Council Meeting to ratify the
Committee of the Whole recommendations.
• Wednesday, August 15, 2007 @ 9:00 am
Committee of the Whole followed by a Special Council Meeting to ratify the
Committee of the Whole recommendations.
Special Meetings of Council may be called on an "as needed" basis.
The regular schedule of Council and Committee of the Whole meetings would resume
on Wednesday, September 5, 2007, with a Committee of the Whole meeting.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. THAT Report No. ADM 2007 -010 be received and adopted,
2. THAT the summer recess schedule be adopted as follows:
•
Wednesday, July 18, 2007 Q 9:00 am

Enabling vulnerable women to improve their quality of life through
individualized support and transitional housing.

separated from a partner, a teen mother without support, or homeless. All of these
women come to Couchiching Jubilee House with the desire for a fresh start and the
support of caring staff and volunteers.
Through our memoring programming, the goal is to encourage each woman to achieve
their dreams of returning to school, finding a job, mastering parenting skills, learning
basic life skills, and establishing a self- sufficient life in the community.
Partners /Sponsors: St. James' Anglican; St. Paul's United; Orillia Presbyterian, St.

one year, for at risk women and their dependent children.
• Through individualized one -on -one mentoring, women are encouraged to realize
their strengths and weaknesses and start to rebuild their lives.

necessary to become independent.
• To offer non judgmental support to the women.
General Information about Couchiching Jubilee House:
Since opening the doors in 2001, 32 women and 31 children have called Jubilee House
"home ". Located in a central, downtown location, Jubilee House is comprised of four
furnished apartments.
Jubilee House has on staff; one part-time Office Administrator, one part-time Executive
Director and one, part-time Co- ordinator of Volunteers. At present forty -eight volunteers
are actively involved in all operations of the house. These include one -on -one mentors,
babysitters, security, house maintenance, and general volunteers. The volunteers are role
models and friends, providing a number of tasks to better the lives of these women and
children. The Board is comprised of twelve members who meet once per month.
When a woman is accepted into Jubilee House she is required to meet regularly with her
support volunteers and the Executive Director to set realistic goals, working towards
independent living. This support includes regular visitations and a once per month
"wraparound" session where all issues and goals are discussed. Residents are required to
attend a once per week support meeting. This meeting includes nutritious food and a
discussion on nutrition, safety, esteem, education or team building. Once per month is
"Supper Club" when all present and past residents come together to prepare and share a
nutritious meal and have a social time together. The women are also introduced to
community services and encouraged to participate in the community. Within this stable
environment, residents and their children attend school, and daycare. A recent past
resident has completed her Grade Twelve at the Learning Centre and is continuing her
studies at Conestoga College in Kitchener.

June is Seniors' Month for Ontario and each Municipality is given
the opportunity to honour one outstanding local senior.
Criteria for this award are:
• After achieving age 65
• Enriching the social, cultural or civic life of the community
without thought of personal or financial gain.
The theme this year, as stated by Jim Bradley, Minister
Responsible for Seniors, is: Active Living: Share Your
Experience. "Our Goal is to encourage older adults to become
involved with programs so that their wisdom and experience might
benefit others ".
Oro- Medonte's Senior of the Year is Isabel Shepard
Isabel Shepard is a well known Oro - Medonte resident. At 81, she
continues to be a very active and enthusiastic volunteer both at the
R.V.H hospital and in her community.
Isabel started volunteering at R.V.H., in the Emergency Department,
nine years ago, at the age of 72! She has volunteered at hospitals
wherever she has lived. There is lots of action in the Emergency
Department and this suits Isabel just fine!
Isabel also volunteers in her community. A keen Bridge player, she
enjoys introducing new players to the mental and social nuances of the
game. Isabel has mentored and tutored dozens of people in her
community and even set up an additional afternoon to accommodate
those who she introduced to the game.
She also founded the very popular Marathon Bridge - a group of 16
ladies pairs which competes from Sept. to May - including a wind -up
luncheon - organized by Isabel!
Also, she and her husband Don, who passed away a year ago,
made a weekly trek to Seaton House for over 10 years. Seaton House
is a men's shelter in downtown Toronto, which helps up to 500 men at
a time, get back on their feet. Isabel and Don delivered articles of
clothing and other useful items, collected from the neighbourhood.
And just this year, Isabel has taken on the Ladies Golf Captain
volunteer job at her local Golf Course.
She just does not slow down, and continues to share her energy
and experience with her community, benefiting those around her.
Isabel is truly and inspiration, not just for seniors - for all of us.

u bject:
Non - Resident User Fees at
Bayview Memorial Park
Department:
Parks and Recreation
Date: April 25, 2007
R.M. File #:
Roll #:
BACKG
During the 2007 Budget, Council requested that staff prepare a report regarding the imposition of Non -
Resident User Fees for the use of Bayview Memorial Park, Report RC 2007 -04 was prepared and deliberated
at the Committee of the Whole Meeting of April 4, 2007 and staff were directed to investigate options for the
imposition of Non- Resident User Fees at Bayview Memorial Park.
ANALYSIS:
Staff have investigated three options to implement non - resident user fees at Bayview Memorial Park.
1) User fee per person — This method has the advantage of alleviating some issues with parking, however it
has many disadvantages such as:
Public Perception — People are accustomed and willing to pay fees for parking, paying fees per vehicle is
closely associated with parking, paying fees per person or admittance fee will create frustration for non-
residents.
Administration — Gate staff will not know who is a resident and non - resident. ID will need to be checked for
all entering the park including children and often identification is not brought to the park. Again checking
identification can have a negative perception. Another implication will be residents who have guests visiting
them from out of town who will need to pay to access the park, this may upset some residents.
2) User Fees per Vehicle- This method has the advantages of a more positive public perception, allowing
access to residents' guests, and ease of administration. No parking signage will need to be installed in the
immediate area and parking by -laws will need to be amended and enforced. With proper identification,
parking passes can be made available for residents at the gate and at the Township administration office.
Staff is recommending that No parking signage be placed at Lakeshore Blvd between the 81h and 91h lines and
surrounding side streets. Residents would be issued one parking pass per household.
ti
3) Combination of Parking and Per Person Fees— Has no real advantages except for the potential of
additional revenues, but has many disadvantages.
To provide a consensus of best and common practices regarding the administration of non - resident user fees
for waterfront parks, the Townships of Tiny, Georgina and the Town of Innisfil were contacted, as these
municipalities charge non - resident user fees at waterfront parks. Innisfil and Georgina charge non - residents a
daily parking pass at the gate per vehicle while issuing parking passes to their residents. Tiny Township sells
annual parking permits to non - residents. The Town of Georgina has been using pay and display automatic
parking pass machines for several years and recommends this method, Innisfil is also considering the use of
"Pay and Display Machines" at its waterfront parks.
Council has two options for the administration and collection of fees either, purchasing and installing a "Pay
and Display' machine, or by having a gate attendant collect fees.
Financial Analysis
A financial analysis is being provided with respect to the administration of non - resident user fees at Bayview
Memorial Park.
Estimated Expenses using parking pass method
OPTION 1
Pay and Display Machine (Solar Powered)
Capital
Purchase and installation of machine $16,530
Operating
Monthly Fee for Transactions, On -Line Monitoring and Alarm — $75 /Month or $900 Year
Paper Roll (2250 Vehicles) $86 Roll
Annual Maintenance (vandalism etc) $400
Total Capital and Operating for 2007 $17,916
Note: With the Pay and Display Machine there would be the additional cost of service fees charged by banks
and would necessitate that the Treasury department amend their process to include credit card options.
OPTION 2
Gate Staff
A student would be hired to work Saturdays, Sundays and holidays commencing June 251' through September
3`d to collect the gate fees from 8am to 6pm.
Weekends (Saturday, Sunday and Holidays 8am -6pm)
$8.50h x 20h /week x 11 weeks = $1870
Holiday Premiums = $383
Fringe Benefits 14% =$316
Total $2569.00
Other Expenses
Signage
No parking and Enforcement Signage = $1500
z
Marketing of Council's decision will be provided through the local newspaper and through the final tax
billing.
Staff will further investigate methods:
• to develop an acceptable pass system
• the means of providing a shelter at the gate
• the process in which to secure the funds
• to implement a procedure for reimbursement to local residents
• to implement procedures to ensure By -law enforcement (No parking)
It is being recommended that bookings by non - residents for pavilion rentals, confirmed prior to the adoption of
this report, receive complimentary daily parking passes for themselves and their guests.
It is recommended that Option 2 be implemented for the 2007 season. For the ease of administration, public
perception, accommodating residents' guests, and taking into account common practices in surrounding
municipalities, it is recommended that Council give favorable consideration to the imposition of non - residents
fees to be imposed on a per vehicle basis commencing June 30, 2007.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. THAT Report No. #RC2007 -06 be received and adopted
2. THAT Staff be authorized to proceed with the imposition of Non - resident user fee per vehicle at the
Bayview Memorial Park commencing June 30, 2007.
3. AND THAT the Clerk bring forth the appropriate by -laws
Respectfully Submitted,

Regrets: Geoff Booth
The minutes of the January 22nd meeting were accepted as printed.
Business Arising
1. Budget
Council is now in Budget deliberations and we can't proceed with any major
projects until the deliberations are completed.
2. Repairs to African Church — Spring
We have received a quotation of $370.00 to replace popped nails and some
of the clabboards.
3. Interpretive Centre
Letter to land owner
We have received a copy of the letter addressed to Mr. John Goldsmith &
Ms. Glenda Gardner informing them of the termination of their Farm
Lease. We must wait until June 21, 2007 before we do any work on the
land.
Stones — Bruce Chappell /Shelswell & Sons Quote
Sheila informed that Shelswell & Sons had given us a quote of $3250.00
to pick up, move and place the donated stones from George and Edna
Caldwell.
Motion:
Moved by Bruce Higgins and seconded by Jadeen Henderson
That we recommend to Council that they accept the quotation from Shelswell & Sons
in the amount of $3250.00 to pick up, move and place the donated stones from
George and Edna Caldwell.
Carried
Storage Containers as suggested by Mayor
Sheila indicated that Mayor Hughes has offered to procure trailers to use
as a temporary Interpretive Centre. It was the general consensus that too
much work and cost would be required to make them accessible (ramp
and stairs) to make them a viable alternative.
Update Proposal
Sheila informed that Margaret has returned the proposal with some
suggested additions, deletions and corrections. Allan took the copy and
indicated he would look it over and give his input.
f1Ok -
4. Trillium grant process
The group agreed that we were all very interested in meeting with Shawn
Binns to take advantage of his expertise on the Trillium Grant Process.
5. Canada Revenue Agency — Black History Presentation
Sheila and Allan accepted an invitation on behalf of the Oro - Medonte History
Association from the Canada Revenue Agency to attend a seminar as a
guest speaker. She gave a presentation on the Oro African Church and the
important role our Black settlers played. The presentation was very well
received.
6. Ontario Heritage Act — by -laws
Sheila asked the group to ensure that they read the Ontario Heritage Act as
we will be discussing it at an upcoming meeting in great depth to enable us to
recommend to Council the enactment of by -laws to protect historic buildings
and with them Oro - Medonte history.
Guthrie Church — correspondence and new committee
Sheila brought the group up to date regarding the Guthrie Church. She
informed that the group had been asked to spearhead a citizen's group to
investigate opportunities regarding the church. The citizen group would be
comprised of Edna Caldwell, Don Campbell, Fred Beck, Susan Woods and
one other person and Sheila Kirkland will spearhead. Mayor Hughes has
offered to be ex- officio.
8. Folia signs and signage on railtrail — grant proposal
We received information from Ms. Dunsmore along with a suggestion that we
explore the HBC website for grant monies for signs which could be placed
along the railtrail. It was agreed that it was not within the History
Association's sphere to become involved with railtrail signage. However, we
could certainly look into the grant monies to place a sign at either end of the
Glouchester trail which is of "historic significance ".
New Business
1. Pin design Jadeen was working on
Jadeen is still working on the design of the pin.
2. Jane Wilson — suggested fundraiser
Sheila informed the group that during a conversation with Jane Wilson, who
has heritage ties to the Oro Black Settlement, she indicated that she would
be interested in donating copies of her book "Morgan Seat" to be used as a
fundraiser. Jane indicated that she would be willing to participate in a
fundraiser "An Evening with the Author" wherein people could purchase
$50.00 tickets and receive a signed copy of her book, a presentation and a
light luncheon. We would receive $10.00 of every $50.00 sold for the
interpretive centre. It was agreed that we were far from this stage as of yet
but we would put it on our list of fundraising ideas.
3. Choirs project — African church June 1 -4 weekend — are we interested
The History Association has been approached by the Hawkestone Choir
regarding a joint event in June. They will be hosting a choir from
i I j>
Saskatchewan who is learning black music. After a short discussion, it was
agreed that due to manpower constraints we would be willing, if weather
permitted, to allow the Hawkestone Choir to host a gathering on the grounds.
We would supply the generator for sound, request St. John Ambulance
presence, and open the church. Bruce and Allan would be the guides. It
would be up to the choir to cover advertising. Sheila will get in touch with
Marilyn Gregory.
4. Photos and documents generated by the Township office as historical
records.
Sheila indicated that the township has a collection of photographs taken of
special events, staff functions, etc. that, in time, will become historic
information and should be preserved.
Motion:
Moved by Bruce Higgins and seconded by Jadeen Henderson
That it is recommended to Council that they give favourable consideration to allowing
the History Association to view such photographs and documents that may become
historically significant. And further, that the History Association may set aside and
save from destruction such photographs and documents they deem of historic
significance.
Carried
5. Wal -Mart Canada — Green grants
Sheila gave us information regarding the Wal -Mart Green grants. These
grants are strictly for landscaping. The group felt that our landscaping needs
could be met by a request to the Oro - Medonte Horticultural Society.
6. 175`h Anniversary of St. George's Fairvalley on September 9107 at 2:OOpm
The group was asked to make note of the date of this important anniversary
to try to attend if possible.
7. African church — spring cleanup and summer hours
The summer hours are set and spring cleanup will be scheduled at a future
date.
8. August heritage days and Oro Fall Fair /Coldwater Fair
Allan suggested we look into purchasing a large portable garage on sale at
Canadian Tire for around $390.00. This would serve as a booth. Bruce was
asked to look into the garage to see if the side could be raised to allow a
breeze in hot weather.
Correspondence
1. E -mail for historical names — Buffalo Springs Subdivision
Sheila presented correspondence from Buffalo Springs Subdivision
requesting our input on historic names that could be used for the
development. It was agreed that only those historic names that were
pertinent to the area should be used.
2. Brochure NHSAO Conference Draft agenda for Oct 1 -3
The group was asked if everyone has received a copy of the invitation to the
NHSAP Conference to be held on Oct 1 -3. Margaret will make copies and
forward them to the members.
3. Receipt of Dec 11 meeting minutes and motion from Council
We have been informed bX the Clerk of the following resolution by Council
during their December 11' meeting. "Be it resolved that the request from the
Oro - medonte History Association to increase the Oro - Medonte History
Association's Education budget portion from $2,000 to $4,000 be referred to
the 2007 budget deliberations."
