and have a long standing interest in the the matters under consideration.
Thank you

To the Mayor and Members of Council:
We are writing on behalf of the Jarratt- Coulson and District
Ratepayers and the Rowanwood Conserver Society on the
matter of the granting of extensions to the lapsing draft plan
applications listed in the report by Glenn White BP2008-012
We have asked to make a deputation to council on this matter.
As our request arrived after the agenda was produced it appears
we might not get the opportunity to speak to Council. As this is
an urgent matter we have elected to set out our concerns in
advance of the meeting.
1) Process: In 2005 the report PD2005-009(see attached
PDF) was adopted by Council. It specified that each of the
above mentioned seven developments must provide for
Council's consideration a written explanation of their need for
an extension to their three- -
' year timetable Lor final draft
approval. This explanation must be received by the Township
60 days ' Prior to the lapsing date, March 7 2008. Were these
requests received within the proper timeframe? What are the
reasons given for each of these separate and different
development proposals for failing to reach the already very
generous deadlines? Some or perhaps all of these developments
have been on the books for more than a decade. What were the
completion expectations of council in 2005 when the sunset
clauses were established and to what extent have any of these
owners met these expectations? If an extension is to be granted
in 2008 what are the specific expectations for each of these
individual developments and how do they warrant the same 2
year extension? Their nature, scale and inception dates vary a
great deal. Finally how was it possible that Buffalo Springs was
not included in this list?
2) Considerations:. Council has been given the legislative
authority (section 51 [32] of the planning act)) and the
rationale (section El .9 of the Official Plan referred to in the
above reports) to deny or limit the extension period.
Council may also apparently withdraw approvals or request
changes to the plans before allowing them to proceed(section5l
[44] of the planning act). If indeed council has this authority
would this not be the time to exercise it? In the cases of the of
the Capobianco and Buffalo Springs subdivisions (we are not as
familiar with the others on the list) we can assure Council that
our groups have made many arguments over the years as to
why these developments should be stopped or changed for the
benefit of the township and its natural heritage features.
3) Recommendations:
a) Confirm that the owner's requests were received in a
timely manner.
b) Review each request against the initial and specific
expectations
c) Grant an extension on an individual basis and only when
appropriate and for the shortest possible time frame.
d) Tie the extension to changes in the development which
would suit the current needs of the Municipality
e) Review each of these development proposals with an eye
to making them conform to the current Official plan and
/or provincial policy.
f) Establish a sunset clause for Buffalo Springs.
Grandfathering and repetitive changes in ownership do not
justify and endless time period for completion. The
original proposal, which the latest owner seems to be
reverting to, is now 19 years old. It should be reviewed
with the same standards and legislative regime as the
others i.e. with an eye to either withdrawing or changing
approvals.

I BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: 11
In February 1997, the Township of Oro-Medonte adopted an Official Plan which contained a policy
regarding existing draft plan approved residential subdivisions. This policy stated that a number of
vacant lots existed in Draft Approved Plans of Subdivision in the rural area and that some of these
subdivisions are located in areas that have not been identified in the Plan as being appropriate for
development. In addition, the policy stated that such development, because of its location, may have an
impact on the rural character of the area, the natural heritage system, and the cost effectiveness of
providing municipal services. The policies further indicated that it was the intent of Council to ask the
appropriate approval authority to withdraw Draft Plan Approval after an appropriate period of time has
elapsed if a subdivision was not proceeding to the development stage in an expeditious manner.
At that time, the approval authority for draft plans of subdivision was the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and
Housing, this was subsequently delegated to the County of Simcoe and then to the Township who has
been the approval authority for plans of subdivision since June 2000.
In September 2004, the County of Simcoe advised that they had received clarification that the Township
had become the approval authority for all draft plan approvals and not just new approvals at the time of
delegation. The County has now provided the Township with all draft plan of subdivision files previously
held by the County.
The Planning Department sent correspondence to all the applicants of existing draft plan approved
subdivisions, a total of seven, which were not proceeding to registration to determine their intentions with
proceeding forward. This letter indicated that a report would be prepared for the consideration of
Council which would either ask for the withdrawal of Draft Plan approval if no response was received
from the applicant or for the addition of a new condition that provided for the lapsing of Draft Plan
Approval within a certain time period.
A response was received from all applicants indicating their reasons for the delay in proceeding to
registration and requesting additional time to complete this process. A table which identifies the files
affected by this report and a map showing their location is attached for Council's reference (Attachment
#1). There are a total of seven properties subject to this report and the consideration of the additional
conditions that provide for the lapsing of Draft Plan Approval within a certain time period.
Section 51(32) of the Planning Act provides the ability for an approval authority to provide that approval
lapses at the expiration of the time period specified by the approval authority, being not less than three
years.
Section 51 (44) of the Planning Act provides the ability for the approval authority to withdraw the
approval of a draft plan of subdivision or change the conditions of such approval at any time before the
approval of the final plan of subdivision. Notice of these changes is required to be given following any
decision to change conditions and is subject to the appeal process.
On the basis of the responses received from all of the applicants and the basis provided above for the
inclusion of additional conditions, it is recommended that Council support the adoption of the following
conditions in the seven draft plan approvals outlined in Attachment #1:
1. That the approval of this draft plan will lapse three years from the date of approval. This approval
may be extended pursuant to subsection 51(33) of the Planning Act, but no extension can be
granted once the approval has lapsed.
2. If final approval is not given to this plan within three years of the draft approval date, and no
extensions have been granted, draft approval will lapse under Section 51 (32) of the Planning Act. If
the owner wishes to request an extension to draft approval, a written explanation on the need for the
extension must be received by the Township of Oro-Medonte sixty (60) days prior to the lapsing
date.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. THAT Report No. PD 2005-009 be received and adopted; and
2. That Council approve the additional conditions for the existing draft plan approvals shown in
Attachment #1 which provide for the lapsing date if registration is not obtained within three years and
no extension is granted; and
3. That all affected landowners/applicants be advised of Council's decision.

p',,'i G-'\� -
I Q_�
Warden, County of Simcoe Clerk, County of Simcoe
An Agreement between the County of Simcoe ( "County ") and the Township of pro- Medonte
("Township ").
1.0 Purpose
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to set out the terms, conditions, and
guidelines for the exercise of approval authorities by the County and the Township regarding
applications for subdivisions and condominiums under the Planning Act.
2.0 Basis and Context
The first Official Plan for the County ofSimcoe was approved on April 3, 1998; resolution of appeals
resulted in part of the Plan coming into effect on July 21"h, 1999. This in turn resulted in the transfer
ofapproval authorities for subdivisions and condominiums from the Minister ofMunicipal Affairs and
Housing to the County (Section 51 (9) of the Planning Act).
The Planning Act further provides for the delegation of some or all of these authorities from the
County to a local municipality:
Section 51.2 (2) of the Planning Act states that County Council "may, after the prescribed
notice is given, by bylaw delegate all or any part of the authority to approve plans of
subdivision to a constituent local or area municipality in respect of land situated in the local
or area municipality."
The County has adopted Report 99 -047 on September 28, 1999 which provides for the delegation
of subdivision and condominium approval authorities to a local municipality upon its request. Where
a local municipality has requested delegation of the approval authorities, this MOU constitutes an
agreement under which the authorities would be granted and exercised.
3.0 Terms of Delegation
The Township will maintain the following commitments:
3.1 The Township operates a Planning Department, as part of its regular municipal administrative
structure, which is responsible for processing applications received under the Planning Act'
of the Province of Ontario. The functions of the Department normally include:
(a) receiving applications for the subdivision of land and the development of
condominiums,
(b) determining the completeness of applications,
s4 .
-. . :•
W
(c) determining compliance of the applications to the local official plan, the County
Official Plan, the Provincial Policy Statement, and the Planning Act,
(d) making recommendations to the local Planning Committee and/or local Council
regarding the suitability of subdivision applications and any conditions which should
be applied to applications in accordance with (c) and good planning practice,
(e) establishing conditions of draft approval, ensuring the conditions are met, including
consultation with appropriate authorities, and determining when a subdivision is
appropriate for final approval, all in accordance with the Planning Act.
3.2 The Township, through its Planning Department, shall ensure that it is represented by a
qualified planner who is available to consult with the applicant, County planners or their
designates, or provincial officials at appropriate stages of the processing of an application;
the consultation may include site visits. In particular, consultation shall occur at the time of
receipt of a complete application, before the application is submitted, and/or immediately
after the application is submitted: this enables determination of compliance in accordance with
L(c) or of what modifications or conditions are required to bring the application into
compliance. The qualified planner should be available for on site consultation with
reasonable notice.
3.3 Status of Official Plan
The Township shall ensure that it has in effect a local municipal official plan which is in
conformity with the County of Simcoe Official Plan and has regard to the Provincial Policy
Statement.
A local municipal plan may not be in full compliance with the County Plan at the time of a
request for delegation for approval authorities or because of amendments to the County Plan.
However, where the local plan is in substantial compliance with the County Plan as
determined by the Planning Services Committee, the delegation of authorities, or continuance
ofthat delegation, may take place ifthe Township undertakes to bring its plan into conformity
with the County Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement according to a timetable agreed to
by the Township and the County.
3.4 Consultation
The Township agrees to ensure full consultation regarding subdivision and condominium
applications with the County at all stages at which County and/or provincial interests may be
affected and specifically at the time of application (or immediately before or after a complete
application is received as may be appropriate). The Township agrees to exercise due
diligence to ensure that all notices as required by provincial Regulation are given.
Schedule 1 to By -law No. 4589 Page 3 of 3
' 3.5 Training Requirements
The Township agrees to make available appropriate staff to be trained with respect to
provincial policies, operational practices and regulatory requirements which relate to the
County's responsibilities for certain;plan review functions.
If at any time the Township is unable to fulfil the terms of this MOU, the County will notify the
Township of actions needed to remedy the circumstances. If the Township has not undertaken with
two months to take the necessary remedial actions, the County may withdraw the delegation of
subdivision and condominium °approval authority.
4.0 Definitions
Consultation: means notification of the County and other interested agencies of subdivision
and condominium applications and all information pertinent to the application and its potential
approval, denial, or approval with conditions; consultation with County planners and other
officials regarding interpretation of planning policy as contained in planning documents in
connection with an application;, joint visits to the sites of applications involving a local planner
and other local officials, County planners and other officials, County designates, and
provincial officials as may be required.
Designates: with regard to the County and its Planning Department, means persons
representing agencies acting in an advisory role through agreement with the County, and may
include representatives of other government agencies (e.g. conservation authorities), private
agencies contracted by the County, or "peer" reviewers agreed to by the, County and an
applicant.

To the Mayor and Members of Council:
We have several questions and several recommendations. The
questions are straightforward.
. Were the requests for extension received by the due date?
each case what progress had been made in owing toward
registration over the last three years and. did this progress meet
the expectations of Council set in 2005?
. Should Council deem extension appropriate in any of these
cases what conditions and time frame will Council impose?
. Why was Buffalo Springs not included in the original list?

16. PRESENTATIONS
16.1 FLOOD ADVISORY PRESENTATION.
Brian Smith, Water Resources Technologist and Glenn Switzer, Director of
Engineering and Technical Services provided an update on the flooding
conditions as a result of the abundant rain fall and snow melt which took place
January 7-10, 2008. A cold December produced approximately 45 cm snow
which is a 7.5 cm water equivalent. Warm temperatures up to 12 °C and 45 mm
rain produced a major runoff event. Flooding came close to residences and
many roads overtopped. Staff advised that the flood wave is currently traveling
through the Minesing Wetland and heading to Wasaga Beach.
BOARD • DIRECTORS NO. 01/08 MINUTES 11 January 2008 Page .. 6
Glenn Swtizer advised the Board of Directors of the roles and responsibility of the
NVCA in a flood situation. The NVCA is responsible for forecasting where and
when flooding is likely to occur and issuing the appropriate messages. Advance
warning of an impending flood allows municipalities and other government
agencies to put emergency response plans into operation. Technical advice in
the planning and development stages of a property is another role the NVCA
Engineering and Planning department provide.
16.2 SPECIES AT RISK IN THE NVCA WATERSHEDS
David Featherstone, Manager, Watershed Monitoring Program presented the
species at risk program to the Board of Directors. The Ministry of Natural
Resources has a provincial mandate to address Species At Risk issues and
identify "significant habitat". The NVCA alerts the Ministry if Species At Risk is an
issue as part of a planning application. The NVCA has played a key role in
bringing in experts to review Species at Risk issues.
The NVCA owns and manages a number of properties that support Species and
Risk the Minesing Wetland is a significant property. The monitoring staff work
closely with the lands and stewardship staff to develop ecologically-sound
management plans.
David Featherstone reiterated the importance of the species at risk program at
advised that normally, worldwide, we would expect to lose a species every 1000
years. Estimates of current extinction rates suggest that, globally, we are now
losing one to three species per day." This is testimony enough that this is a very
worthwhile program.

As Ontario's Deputy Minister for Emergency Planning and Management, I am writing at
this time to acknowledge that in 2007 your municipality fulfilled the municipal
requirements of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, and Ontario
Regulation 380/04. 1 would also like to take this opportunity to commend you, your
council, and your staff for the efforts and leadership that has led to this worthy
achievement. Building disaster - resilient communities, as you are doing, is among my
highest priorities.
Experience has taught us that no community is immune to the effects of serious
emergencies and disasters. While we will continue to confront known and existing
hazards, Ontario will also face the impacts of new hazards, such as the consequential
effects of climate change, urban growth, and other hazards that have yet to be
identified.
All levels of government need to be prepared to respond to emergencies, however, I
believe that our biggest preparedness gap is the lack of individual/family preparedness.
In May 2007, an EKOS poll suggested that only 12% of Canadians have a survival kit
and only 11% have a family emergency plan. Emergency Preparedness Week is May
4th to 11 th and I would ask that emphasis on personal preparedness be a priority in your
community.
?
- 2 -
In our shared commitment to community safety, the Province and its municipalities are
working together to implement coordinated and integrated emergency management
programs that will meet the needs of Ontarians whenever disaster strikes. Your
community has demonstrated its commitment to that partnership through the successful
completion of the municipal emergency management program and for that I am grateful.
In closing, my staff and I look forward to continuing to work with your community to
achieve our mutual goal: a safe and resilient Ontario.

RE: Municipal Funding Request — 2008

Dear Mayor Hughes and Members of Council:

01
The Orillia & Area Community Physician Recruitment & Retention Committee has been
in existence since 2001. At the time that this group of volunteers was drawn together, the
prime focus of activity was the recruitment of Family Physicians stimulated by an under
service designation for the area by the Province of Ontario which recognized a shortage
of I 1 family doctors.
During 2002, the mandate of this committee expanded to include recruitment of
specialists and ongoing work with various medical student groups (clerks, interns and
residents). It was identified that having a full compliment of specialists practicing within
the community was in itself a strong recruitment tool for attracting family physicians.
Students, while a longer term recruitment audience, do represent the Doctors of the
future. Our success in retaining residents as full time practicing doctors is strong (Dr.
McIntosh, Dr. Perrigo etc.) We need to ensure these students return to our community.
Retention of our Doctors was also added to our mandate and our name. Doctor
recruitment is a very competitive business. Communities across the country spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to lure physicians; just as we are trying to
bring doctors to our area other communities are attempting to lure ours away. Retention
is a critical component to the future success of our efforts.

F), -1
Graciously funded by the five municipalities, community organizations (Rotary, Orillia
District Chamber of Commerce, CDC, Hospital Foundation etc.) and private businesses,
this committee has filled the role of community hosts and ambassadors. We are a
collaborative of community volunteers, Doctors, hospital administration and hospital
foundation volunteers. I use the word collaborative as the success of our efforts is very
much tied to the work of the hospital; we support the efforts of the Hospital's
administration in their effort to recruit and retain physicians.
The following summarizes the activities and successes of this committee for the period of
2006 & 2007:
Coordination of a "Thank You" for all Doctors practicing within the area. All
Doctor's offices received a hand delivered arrangement of fresh flowers and thank
you note.
Participation in the 5 medical schools job fairs held in September 2006 & 2007.
Committee members traveled to Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilton, London and
Toronto to meet with Doctors, residents, and students prior to selecting their
communities of choice for practice.
Coordination and hosting of Rural Ontario Medical Weeks 2006 & 2007 which
saw 6 to 8 medical students each year spend a week within our community
working with our Doctors to experience medicine in a rural setting. For many of
these young people, this is their first time in a rural community (outside Toronto)
and opened their eyes to the possibility of practicing medicine in a smaller
community. Committee members hosted BBQs at their homes, took students
biking on our trails, boating on our lakes, hosted receptions, fishing etc.
➢ Hosting of Core Rotation Day. Each year a class of medical students training in
the family medicine stream spend a day within our community. These students
are a key target audience as they will become residents the following year and
must select the community in which to spend one year learning under the
direction of a licensed family Doctor. As noted earlier, many of these residents of
the past have chosen to remain in Orillia as Doctors. To successfully engage this
group during Core Rotation Day is critical to ensurim', they select Orillia as their
community of choice for residency and that we have a full complement of
residents here the following year! Committee members have coordinated golf
tournaments, boat trips and meals during this day. Over 20 students were hosted
during the two year period (2007, 2007).
Hosting visiting Doctors and students. The committee is regularly involved
with hosting Doctors and their families who are visiting our community and
hospital as they determine where they will practice medicine. These visitors
come from all across Canada and the world. Committee members deliver fruit
baskets which greet the visitors on their arrival at their accommodations, take
visitors on community tours, provide babysitting services, organize meals with
community members and other Doctors, and generally try to meet their
hobby/interest needs (ski passes, golf passes, theatre tickets etc.) For students, the
committee organizes larger group activities such as group dinners at local
restaurants, provides fitness club passes and gift bags. During 2006, 2007, 56
students were hosted.
Committee Strategic Planning. In order to ensure that the committee's activities
were meeting the needs and expectations of the community, a community
outreach initiative was undertaken. A series of questions were asked of a wide
variety of community members, politicians, hospital administration, and Doctors.
The results of this outreach are included as appendix A. In summary, it was felt
that the committee should continue to focus its efforts on the recruitment and
retention of both family physicians and specialists. One gap in activities that was
noted repeatedly was the need to identify local students who leave the community
to pursue post secondary education to become doctors. A communication
program to encourage these students to return to Orillia should be developed
as well as a more formal after -visit communication program for other
students has also been noted as a worthwhile sales tool. Both of these initiatives
require dedicated time to develop and launch; time that the current volunteers do
not have.
As a result of our activities and those of the hospital we are pleased to provide the
following statistics of success for 2006, 2007:

related staff to kick off the Hospital's 100th year birthday celebrations and the
second as a thank you for Physicians and spouses.
➢ Coordinate ROMP Week 2008 in June.
Participation in 2008 Medical School Job Fairs at 5 universities in September.
Coordination of CORE Rotation Day.
➢ Host 25 -40 students throughout the year.
Host 10 -20 visiting Doctors /and families throughout the year.
Hire a part -time (2 days /week — May - December), contract project coordinator
who would be responsible for:
• Development and implementation of a communication strategy for
students and Doctors who have visited or trained in Orillia. (New)
• Development of a communication strategy, ensuring compliance with the
Privacy Act, for Orillia area youth who are pursuing a career as a Doctor.
(New)
Budget 2008:
In order to meet the goals and objectives as outlined above and in the attached
survey summary, the committee respectivefully is requesting a financial
contribution of $2,500 from each municipality. These funds will be augmented by
cash carried forward from previous years and by funds and goods & services provided by
local businesses, Soldier's Memorial Hospital and other community organizations.
Each year many businesses donate graciously to the efforts of this committee. Past
contributors include: Mariposa Market, Tim Norton's- Ron & Carolyn Harris, Madison
County, Home Hardware, Brewery Bay, East Side Mario's, Sunshine Carpets, BMO
Nesbitt Bums — Karen O'Coin/John Mayo, Leon's, Teletech, Shopper's Drug Mart,
Guardian Pharmacy, Orillia Pharmacy, Orillia Chamber of Commerce, Flowers by June,
Street's Flowers, Evans Flowers, Hawk Ridge Golf & Country Club, Hardwood Hills,
Casino Rama, Orillia Construction Association, and Orillia Car Dealers' Association.
Please refer to the attached 2008 budget (Appendix B) for further details.
The work of this volunteer committee is critical to the future level of health care service
within our community. The shortage of Family Physicians and other Specialists across
the country will continue. As a community we can not afford to reduce the level of effort
we expend recruiting new Doctors or thanking those who have worked tirelessly on
behalf of our residents.
We hope you will look favourably upon our request. If you have questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today regarding Barrie Speedway's application for a stadium liquor license.
Page 1 of 1
We have hired a consultant, Mr. Fred Moffat, who will be helping us submit our application. As I understand it, we need a resolution from the
Oro - Medonte council stating that they approve of our filing an application.
Here is the information you requested:
Barrie Speedway has been in business since 1965. It is located on the 8th Line, Oro, next to Burls Creek Family event park.
Barrie Speedway has undergone a number of renovations over the last few years. The Speedway now hosts 22 NASCAR Racing events each
year ... The NASCAR Whelen Series, which runs every Saturday night from the first Saturday in May until the second last Saturday In
September. The Speedway also hosts two major NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Events, one on the long weekend in July and the other the
Saturday after Labour Day Weekend.
The Speedway attracts between 1200 and 3000 fans every Saturday night. However, with official NASCAR Racing now happening on a regular
basis at the Speedway, we expect those numbers to grow. We currently have permanent seating for approx. 4,000 people at the Speedway.
We are applying for a stadium liquour license that will allow us to serve Beer and Wine to approx. 75% of the permanent seating areas of the
Speedway. We intend to keep approximately 25% of the permanent seating area as a "dry area'. We currently have two full service food
concession areas that serve meals and snacks to fans attending racing events.
Barrie Speedway attracts many families and local race fans on a regular basis. The Speedway also attracts many tourists who visit the area to
attend the racing events at Barrie Speedway.
If there is any other information you require, please do not hesitate to call myself at 791 -6665 or my partner, Dave Simpson at 728 -1469. Mr
Simpson will be able to attend the meeting you spoke to me about on Friday morning of this week. Can you please confirm the place and time of
that meeting, who will be in attendance and what additional information we would need to bring?
We would like to get this resolution passed ASAP, as we would are trying to get our application submitted and approved before the start of the
racing season.
Thank you for your attention and assistance.

Township of Oro - Medonte
148 Line 7, S
Box 100
Oro, ON LOL 2X0
Re: One Cent NOW! Campaign (Correspondence: January 24, 2008)
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
I acknowledge your support of the City of Owen Sound's resolution. In view
of the Town of Oro - Medonte's experience with the last COMRIF program
(2004 — 2007), I can certainly understand your frustration with recent federal -
provincial infrastructure programs. I agree that the last COMRIF program
was wholly inadequate in size, administration and design for addressing our
region's aging capital requirements.
I am pleased that our government is addressing the problem with our
unprecedented $33 billion commitment to infrastructure. This includes
approximately $18 billion in GST exemption and Gas Tax transfers.
On the Gas Tax Transfer alone, Oro - Medonte will receive approximately
$3.5 million over seven years resulting from Budget 2007's extension of this
commitment for an additional four years to 2014. These transfers are
dependable and flexible — and they can only be spent on a wide range of
allowable capital projects — from roads and bridges to transit and reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
The GST full refund, which was first introduced in 2004, has also been
extended and will result in expense savings for your Town of an estimated
$1.7 million over seven years to 2014. There are no conditions on how the
Town allocates this savings.
Finally, we have introduced the replacement to COMRIF, the Building
Canada Fund (BCF), an $8.8 billion program for a wide range of municipal
projects. I circulated information on this program last November.
Of the $8.8 billion, there will be more than $1.0 billion for smaller Ontario
communities, providing an average of $143 million per year over seven
years, where the last COMRIF program offered an average of $83 million per
year over three years. In addition the previous program, COMRIF, funded
municipalities up to a population of 250,000. Under the BCF, only
municipalities under 100,000 will be eligible. So there is much more funding
available for a conceivably smaller pool of eligible municipalities.
So, our government has made a greater commitment to municipal
infrastructure than any previous government - with funding instruments that
are predictable, dependable and flexible. It is what municipal leaders in
Ontario have been asking for many years. We have delivered.
Now, we need your help, to urge the Province of Ontario to sign-on to the
framework agreement that is necessary to get funds rolling with the BCF.
The construction season is fast approaching, and federal money is ready and
waiting to fund important projects in our region.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further questions you may have
on these issues. I compliment you for the superb services you provide to
residents and businesses in Oro-Medonte. It is no wonder that so many
families are choosing this area for their new home town.

MEETING: COUNCIL
Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) Representation
C. OF W F1
The Simcoe County District School Board will be embarking on a number of pupil
accommodation reviews in March 2008 to address enrolment, programming, and
building condition challenges. This review process enables the public to make informed
recommendations to the Board through Accommodation Review Committees (ARCs).
Committees include parents /guardians, teachers, principals, municipal, and business
representatives.
Two Accommodation Review Areas may be of interest to the Township of Oro - Medonte:
Accommodation Review Area A:
Orillia District Collegiate Vocational Institute, Park Street Collegiate, Twin Lakes
Secondary School
Accommodation Review Area B:
Elmvale District High School, Midland Secondary School, Penetanguishene Secondary
School, Stayner Collegiate Institute, Collingwood Collegiate Institute
A portion of the attendance area for each school in Accommodation Review Area A falls
within the Township of Oro - Medonte. In addition, a portion of the attendance area of
Midland Secondary School, with an enrollment of approximately 40 students, falls within
the township boundary. The overlap in municipal boundaries and school attendance
areas means the Township of Oro - Medonte may have representation on two
accommodation reviews.
The Board is inviting the municipality to recommend two individuals to represent
municipal interests of the Township of Oro - Medonte; one for Accommodation Review
Area A and one for Accommodation Review Area B. The municipal representatives
cannot be the parent/guardian of a student enrolled at one of the schools under review.
A separate selection process exists for parents /guardians to have representatipn._Qn-he
