It was noted that the NVCA will be designated as a Source Protection Authority (SPA) under the Clean Water Act.

Canadian Union of public Employees 3� -- S �, ON r '�4 EC AUG 2 7 2047 k OBO- NIEDONTE We are writing to ask that you and your Council endorse a day A= -C-eg4 o PY;;T y people who work providing care to children in your community. Last year many municipalities proclaimed and celebrated this day of appreciation, and it was a great a success. The Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care ( OCBCC), the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and our other labour partners representing child care workers across Ontario are asking that Wednesday October 20 2007 be proclaimed as Child Care Worker & Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day in accordance with the attached resolution. Many groups are recognized by way of Municipal Resolution. Such a day allows the community to recognize the work of various groups and to acknowledge the contributions they make in the lives of community members. Many children, families and communities benefit from the work of child care workers. Child care also contributes to the economic life of communities. Research shows the many economic benefits accrued from affordable, accessible high quality child care. This benefit comes from the number of people employed in the child care industry and because the availability of child care allows parents to work and to contribute to the economic life of society. Even if your Council does not issue official proclamations, there are many ways for your municipality to participate in and celebrate this special day. In this case, we ask your Council sponsor public announcements, display our posters and distribute pins. Many municipalities also organize events and contests for the day or have Councillors or the Mayor participate in events hosted by child care centres within the municipality. We hope that your proclamation of this day of appreciation, or your active support, will encourage and promote a day of community recognition for child care workers. Please fax the attached order to request posters and pins to help you raise awareness and celebrate. Please advise us of your participation in this day of recognition so that we can acknowledge your community's role in celebrating child care workers across Ontario on October 24th. Please direct any correspondence to the attention of Kathy Johnson, by mail: CUPE, 305 Milner Ave., Suite 800, Scarborough, ON M1B 3V4, or by fax: 416- 292 -2839. Thank you for your consideration.

Tb,,rioPit C|m*Smab P/aaadeo� ||unrdmDbz,un, This past year has been one of the most exciting and productive in the history of the organization. We began implementation of the first full year of a five -year strategic plan. Goals and objectives for 2006!2007 included: • the development of a research component in the Assessment & Treatment Program, Child Victim Witness Program and school -based children's prevention programs, Fm a Great Kid! and I'm a Great Little Kid!: • an evaluation of our direct service programs, beginning with the Assessment & Treatment Program to ensure that our services are evidence -based and helpful to the children, youth and families we serve; • increased education and awareness through our Go Purple for Prevention Campaign as well as our adult training programs, Making a Difference and Keeping Kids Safe; • enhanced diversity within the staff, board and membership of the agency, specifically to reach -out to individuals in the community who represent the diversity within the City of Toronto so that their voices are heard; • increased profile through a branding process that will re -name and revitalize the agomwp and • enhanced efforts to develop an adequate, sustainable funding base for the organization. You will see throughout this report that we have been very successful in accomplishing many of our goals and making a good start on the others. In addition, we have been involved in many exciting initiatives and are in the process of developing new and innovative projects. Some of the highlights of this past year included: • translation of prevention materials into 5 languages, and the development and translation into 8 languages of an Assessment & Treatment caregiver information package; • training of more than 30 volunteers to participate in the Court Observation Study to collect data about child witnesses: • a partnership with the YMCA that includes training for a multi - disciplinary team at the PREVENT Institute in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; • our most successful Butterfly Ball-' to date; • our first Annual Go Purple Breakfast with Detective Sergeant Paul Gillespie (retired) as the keynote speaker; and • the agency's first World Play for Prevention of Child Abuse along with 118 countries world -wide. Likely the most significant event for the agency in 2006{2007 was the choice of our new name, BOOST Child Abuse Prevention & Intervention. We believe that in BOOST we have found the right name. We think that BOOST conveys the positive, forward thinking message that kids can recover from abase and trauma when they get help. It is unique, fresh and hopeful. Most of all, it lets lids and families know that we are there to help.

Fay Clerk cc County of Simcoe September 11, 2007 Ms. Jennifer Zieleniewski CAO Township of Oro- Medonte Box 100 Oro, ON LOL 2X0 Dear Ms. Zieleniewski, Re: Great Refrigerator Roundup Program IS k 3 hydro one This letter is being sent to advise you that the Great Refrigerator Roundup program, a new energy conservation program, is now available in your area. This program will provide free in -home pickup of refrigerators, freezers and room air conditioners for the residential customers of participating local electrical utilities across Ontario. Hydro One Networks is a participating utility in this program, and thus we are notifying all municipalities, within which we have customers, that this program is available. The program is being managed by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), an agency of the Ontario government, and being co- promoted by Hydro One Networks and many other local electric utilities. Appliance pickup and disposal are issues that all municipalities deal with, and the availability of this program should be beneficial to both your municipality and your residents. All reusable materials from these units are being recycled (such as the metals and plastic) and a bare minimum is sent to landfill sites. Particular attention is also being paid to the chemicals used in fridges (in the refrigerant and insulation) that are significant atmospheric pollutants and responsible for ozone depletion and global warming. These are being contained and destroyed in accordance with all government standards and regulations. The OPA is currently promoting the program though mass media, and starting later this month Hydro One residential and farm customers will be receiving communication regarding the program through their Hydro One bills. A copy of the bill insert is enclosed. Since the primary rationale for this program is to eliminate unnecessary electricity consumption from older, secondary appliances - the electricity to run these appliances can cost customers up to $150 per year - there are criteria for which appliances are eligible. Eligible appliances are refrigerators, freezers and room air conditioners that are operating, are a minimum of 10 years old, and are within specific size restrictions. Customers can arrange appointments either online or by telephone. Detailed program information, and appointment scheduling, can be found through: • www.nowersaver.ca (Hydro One Network's energy conservation website), or • www. everykilowatteounts.com/roundup (OPA's website for the program), or • calling 1- 877 - 797 -9473. The program is currently contracted to run until the end of 2007, but the OPA has indicated that they expect the program will be extended into 2008 and beyond. Regards, tk Ian Campbell Program Manager Strategy and Conservation 483 Bay Street, 14'b Floor Toronto, Ontario M5G 2P5 Ian.Campbellna hydroone.com ()- That old, inefficient second fridge of yours is wasting up to $150 per year in electricity. Call us today and we'll come pick it up for FREE* - we'll even haul it out ofyour basement for you. Then we'll dispose of it in an environmentally responsible manner.

The direct and indirect cost to the Ontario economy amounts to a staggering $15 billion annually. Ontario municipalities paid more than $100 million in WSIB costs last year. More importantly, the social and emotional costs of a devastating workplace incident on the families, friends and neighbours in our communities are incalculable. I know you will agree these numbers are unacceptable and, I can assure you the incidents these statistics represent are preventable! At the Annual AMO Conference in August of this year, I had the pleasure of addressing the Members of the Board of Directors and introducing them to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board's Community Workplace Health and Safety Charter. The WSIB is launching this initiative to give local councils an opportunity to make a meaningful public commitment to improved workplace safety in all sectors of their community. Based on simple and effective principles, this Charter affirms a municipality's commitment to building safer workplaces for their employees and providing leadership for the employers and families in their communities. Safe workplaces mean healthy businesses and healthy businesses mean successful communities. The WSIB recognizes that municipal corporations do rank workplace health and safety as one of their top priorities. I know Mayor Hughes; your Council believes the Township of Oro - Medonte's employees are among your community's most valuable assets. �vab cur tea' Because of this commitment and as community leaders, you have an opportunity to act as a model employer, strengthening the awareness of superior health and safety practices throughout your municipality. As health and safety leaders in the Township of Oro - Medonte, you are in the unique position to demonstrate to employers in your community that an investment in workplace health and safety prevention reaps bottom -line benefits. By supporting the Community Workplace Health and Safety Charter, your Council will visibly demonstrate its commitment to the welfare of the employers, employees and the families who live and work in the Township of Oro - Medonte. Over the next year, I will be visiting municipal councils throughout Ontario to show them the value of becoming a supporter of the Community Workplace Health and Safety Charter initiative. And, you have my personal commitment I and staff at the WSIB will work along side you to help employers of the Township of Oro - Medonte understand the importance of workplace health and safety. I know, Mayor Hughes, that your Council understands we must take action to end the terrible carnage we're seeing in Ontario's workplaces. I'm asking you to continue to lead your municipal employees, your local employers, and every man, woman, and child in the Township of Oro - Medonte in building healthier, safer workplaces and a more prosperous Ontario. You can set the tone. You can make a difference. You can lead the way to zero. And, you can save lives. Sincerely, Hon. Steven W. Mahoney P.C.

Vega I *C3 exi e, at- k 2 M a -0. mom al /AM As a municipality and an employer, you already understand your responsibility to provide a safe and healthy workplace for your staff. Your municipal employees are among your community's most valuable assets, delivering the services and programs your reside ntsdernand. And successful municipalities understand that adopting acommunity-wide culture of health and safety for all of their local workplaces is an essential part of maintaining a competitive local economy. Workplace injuries and illnesses have adevastating financial impact onyour Each year, the WS|B pays out almost $] billion in compensation for workplace injuries, illnesses and fatalities. When you add the indirect costs to that amount, health and safety failures cost the Ontario economy almost $15 billion per year. This isa staggering amount; nearly $1'ZOU for every man, woman and child in the province. � ^ � The reality is, every one of these workplace incidents is preventable. The impact of these COAS to Your community's businesses is tangible. The lost financial opportunity these incidents represent to your community's local economy is substantial. We all know that a safe community is af|ourishing community' and vvhi|c issues of policing, fire and traffic safety are top of mind for many community leaders, -� the social and economic costs of workplace health and safety are too often � ~ overlooked. Together, we need to build a culture of workplace health and safety in every Ontario municipality where the only acceptable number of workplace injuries and illnesses iszero. ^ By becoming leaders in workplace health and safety, you can serve asmodels for all employers in your community and demonstrate how an investment in prevention reaps bottom-line benefits... for business and for your citizens. What does it mean for your community's businesses? Lower costs. A workplace injury means an increase in benefit costs. And the longer that worker stays off work, the more it will cost. Your businesses will pay the lowest amount possible by aggressively pursuing improvements in prevention and return to work. Successful businesses mean your community grows and thrives. With fewer interruptions in production and services, a safe workplace runs efficiently, has a reputation for reliable products and services and has opportunities for growth. Better quality products and services. Factors that contribute to improved quality — such as training, employee involvement, and a system for ensuring that standards are met — are also the foundation of a safe and healthy workplace. More motivated workers. Simply put, employees appreciate a workplace in which they are appreciated. Workplace injuries and illnesses can be devastating to your municipality's economy. Consider the costs to your local businesses.- ■ Training costs of replacement help or new hires ■ Damage to property, equipment or product • Downtime for other workers ■ T ime to complete paperwork ■ Increase in your WSIB administration rate and benefits paid d ■ impact on employee morale and productivity • Disruption in product or service schedules ■ Impact on reputation ■ Prosecutions and fines Impact on the worker's life and the lives of their family and friends who live in your community, In 2006, there were 331 work-related deaths in Ontario. To simply osU them casualties of the workplace is not adequately honouring their memories, They were skilled tradespeople and young workers. They were hockey coaches and hospital volunteers. They were mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons. Each one of them was an individual with family and friends and ties to their community. Each one of them is missed. Each one of those deaths could have been prevented Work-related injuries 'illnesses and fatalities create human pain and hardship that extends beyond the workplace. The impact on families, friends and neighbours in our communities is incalculable. It's time to stop trying to ^ reduce ~ workplace injuries and channel our energy and resources toward eliminating them. By making workplace safety a priority for everyone, we're doing more than protecting workers- VVenebui|dingthefoundadonforaheahhyandpnoperous What can you do?

Confidential Report No. ADM 2007 -020, Doug Irwin, Clerk, re: Property Matter (Landfill Site #11 and Hardwood Hills) be received and adopted. 2. That the road allowances described as: a) Part Road Allowance between West half Lot 10 and West half Lot 11, Concession 6 (Oro) (PIN 58536- 0110 (Lt)); b) Part Road Allowance between East half Lot 10 and East half Lot 11, Concession 6 (Oro) (PIN 58536- 0108 (Lt)); c) Road Allowance between Lots 10 and 11, Concession 7 (Oro) (PIN 58536 -0107 (Lt)); and d) Road Allowance between Concessions 6 & 7 (Oro) abutting Lots 10 & 11 between South and North limit of deviated road (PIN 58536 -0104 (Lt)); be declared surplus to the needs of the municipality and sold to the County of Simcoe. 3.

That the County of Simcoe be responsible for maintaining the grounds around the headstones upon completion of the transfer. 5. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate by -law for Council's consideration. 6. And that the County of Simcoe be advised of Council's decision. Carried. ANALYSIS: DI Subsequent to advising the County of Simcoe's solicitor of the aforementioned motion, staff became aware that the portion of the property on which the headstones are located is an abandoned cemetery. As such, the abandoned cemetery is the responsibility of the Township. The County of Simcoe is not prepared to assume the obligations associated with the abandoned cemetery. It is recommended that Motion No. CW070815 -64 be amended to strike "That the County of Simcoe be responsible for maintaining the grounds around the headstones upon completion of the transfer ", and that the County of Simcoe be advised of Council's decision. RECOMMENDATIONS : 1. THAT Report No. ADM 2007 -027 be received and adopted. 2. That Motion No. CW070815 -64 be amended to strike "That the County of Simcoe be responsible for maintaining the grounds around the headstones upon completion of the transfer'; 3.

Motion # R.M. File #: Date: F777 11BACKGROUND: The lease of the Oro - Medonte Administration Building's two photocopiers expires on Jan 30th, 2008. Xerox has approached the Township with a renewal option for another 3 year term. This option would include replacing the oldest photocopier and lowering the total cost the Township pays for the Administration Building's photocopier services. ANALYSIS: The following is the proposed solution for The Township of Oro - Medonte by Xerox. 1. Replace the Xerox Document Centre 460ST photocopier that the Township currently leases (Front photocopier). 2. Keep the Xerox WorkCentre Pro 65 photocopier currently on lease (Rear photocopier) 3. Add new Xerox WorkCentre 5675 photocopier r The following are strong reasons for proceeding with the new lease option with Xerox. 1. Xerox is offering two high quality photocopiers at a cost savings. 2. Township computers are currently configured with Xerox settings and software. Switching brands would mean reconfiguration of servers and computers. 3. Staff are familiar with Xerox photocopiers, reducing the need for training. 4. Support has been reliable and prompt.

Carried 6. Items for Consideration/Discussion: None 7. Correspondence: None. 8. Unfinished Business: (a) Proposed Playground Development in Harbourwood Park Shawn gave the background regarding the development of Harbourwood Park. There were three sites taken into consideration for the placement of equipment. Shelswell Park north was deemed unsuitable for the playground as the OPP have guidelines regarding the proximity of a park to a main road. Shelswell Park south was also deemed unsuitable by our Risk Management Consultant. Placing the playground equipment close to the pump house was also deemed an unsatisfactory location. The location at the Coventry Court side of the park was most preferable as it has a buffer of trees between the park and abutting properties. There is also a garden there with a trail leading through it which will add to the ambiance of the Neighborhood Park atmosphere. RTS070808 -14: i Moved by Reta Regelink, Seconded by Mac Shiells It is recommended that the report given by Shawn Binns regarding the proposed playground development in Harbourwood park be received. And further that the correspondence submitted by residents be received. And further that it is recommended to Council that they give favorable consideration to authorizing the placement of playground equipment to be located in the proximity of Coventry Circle. Carried 8. Other /New Business (Information or request for future information): (a) Proposed Ravines of Medonte Park Development Shawn clarified some of the misinformation that was brought up in the deputations: a) The shed was allowed to stay in the park because it was tucked away and had been inspected by the Director of Emergency Services and received his approval. b) The newspaper article used to quote him regarding not having enough staff to pick up the garbage in the existing parks was taken out of context. He was referring to the 150 Blackdown Park Cadets from Base Borden who volunteered their time to clean up the Railtrail and Ramey Park. Shawn then gave the background of the development of the Ravines of Medonte Park. A request was received in 2006 for a Multi Purpose Pad. The Parks & Recreation department was unaware of the correspondence sent to the area residents from the Community Committee. A letter was sent out by Parks & Recreation in June of this year explaining the request and the capital project process. The letter requests input and feedback on the proposed Multi -Use Pad within the Ravines of Medonte Park. Shawn indicated that he has received many calls seeking further clarification of the project and that none of those callers had indicated that they were opposed to it. RTS070808 -15 Moved by Reta Regelink, Seconded by Mac Shiells It is recommended that the report given by Shawn Binns regarding the proposed development of the Ravines of Medonte Park be received. And further that the correspondence submitted by residents be received. And further that it is recommended to Council that they give favorable consideration authorizing the construction of a multipurpose pad in the Ravines of Medonte Park. Defeated C) Master Plan Review and Facility Feasibility Shawn stated that our current Recreation Master Plan is now over 10 years old and that we needed to revisit the plan and bring it up to date. Many changes have taken place since 1997: Township Demographics, the designation of Simcoe County as a Growth Area and trends in recreation. He informed the Group that this would be a lot of work. He indicated that once a new master plan was in place, the Group would have much better guidelines with which to handle capital project requests and to make recommendations to Council. He also indicated that a Facility Feasibility Study should be included in the new master plan. At the present we do not have guidelines on when we should begin planning and fundraising for new facility and end using band aid maintenance on the old structures. He gave the example of the arena which will require an expenditure of $100,000.00 to repair the roof next year. RTS070808 -16 Motion by Reta Regelink, Seconded by Mac Shiells It is recommended that the presentation given by Shawn Binns regarding the Master Plan Review and Facility Feasibility Study be received. And further that it is recommended to Council that they give favorable consideration to authorizing the Recreation Technical Support Group to develop a terms of reference for tender. Carried. 9.

In our opinion, the By -law has been properly passed and is within the legal powers of the Municipality. The debenture issued under the By -law in the within form (the "Debenture ") is the direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Municipality. However, the Municipality has agreed that the Minister of Finance has the right to arrange for payment of OIPC from funds otherwise payable by the Minister of Finance to the Municipality under Section 18 of the Ontario Infrastructure Projects Corporation Act, (2006). The Debenture is enforceable against the Municipality, subject to the special jurisdiction and powers of the Ontario Municipal Board over defaulting municipalities under the Municipal Affairs Act (Ontario).
