Your Honour and council.
The Oro African Methodist Episcopal Church is 160 years old this year. We are
hosting an anniversary celebration on Saturday, July 25th, 2009 and are seeking choirs
and entertainment relevant to African heritage to help us make this event memorable.
The Oro African Church was built in 1849 by black settlers, some of whom were
veterans of the War of 1812, Runchey's Colored Corps. Following the war, a large tract
of land was set aside by the government of Upper Canada for the sole purpose of
encouraging black soldiers and their families to make their homes in Oro. Most of the
parcels of land given to these settlers were along "Wilberforce Street" (Line 1 Oro
today). The Government officials knew that these veterans could be called upon if the
United States attacked. They would defend the supply line to the Naval Establishment
at Penetanguishene, and more over the overland route from Penetanguishene to York.
Fortunately, the attack never came.
This rough-hewn log church stands as a monument to the people who built it.
These people, who lived and worked to carve a community out of the bush, are the
reason for our celebration, and we want you to be a part of it. The people of the Oro
Settlement still have roots in the community, even today.
The anniversary celebration on Saturday, July 25th, 2009, is envisioned to take
place in two stages. Stage 1.) A AME Church service held in a tent on the land with a
descendants Choir possibly starting the service with a hymn from within the Old church.
There may be an act or two who need no electrics, such as African dance and
precussion. We envision asking the township to change the 3rd line to one way, with
cars parking on both sides of the road allowing space for service vehicles to get around
traffic. We need to allow people to get as close as possible to to the Church to reduce
walking. We made need a means of assisting the infirmed, via tractor and wagon or like
vehicle 2.) The celebration then moves to Trinity Church, next door to the office here.
Trinity has great acoustics we are told and a built in sound system. We are close to
getting the Nethanel Dett Choir from Toronto, coming to the event, and Trinity is where
they mainly will be performing. They require dollars to attend, as they are a twenty-one

There will be refreshments in the gym and a video
presentation for those who don't know the Church. We will
have books available there also for people to purchase, as
well as some of our other merchandise.
The Dett Choir will need transportation to pick them up in Toronto and return
them after the event, and we are confident we can have most, if not all that cost
donated. The choir will require a reduced fee of $4000.00.

At the Places to Grow summit on November 5, 2008, I presented my vision for a greener, more
competitive and prosperous future for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. I was also pleased to
announce this government's interest in investing in public infrastructure and working together
with those municipalities that share this vision to implement the Growth Plan for the Greater
Golden Horseshoe.
The Places to Grozu Act, 2005 requires a council or municipal planning authority to amend its
official plan to conform to the policies in the Growth Plan within three years of it coming into
effect. The deadline for this work is June 16, 2009.
I recognize that lower-tier municipalities require certain planning work to be done by upper-tier
municipalities before they can complete their own conformity amendments. Therefore, in certain
circumstances, I am willing to consider an extension for lower-tier municipalities to bring official
plans into conformity. In order to be considered for an extension of no more than one year,
please provide a letter outlining the status of your conformity process, the reason for the required
extension, how much time is needed to finalize conformity work and a brief work plan detailing
the steps required to achieve conformity.
In the mean time, however, there is significant work that lower-tier municipalities can continue
with in preparation for official plan amendments related to cor•,fornuty, including an analysis of
intensification opportunities and development of local policies to achieve complete, well-
designed, transit-supportive and pedestrian-oriented communities.
In carrying out this Growth Plan conformity work, I strongly encourage you to engage those
Aboriginal communities who have an interest in land use planning in your community, to ensure
they have an opportunity to participate in this process.
If you have any questions regarding my announcement or the process and expectations for
conforming to the Growth Plan, please feel free to contact Brad Graham, Assistant Deputy
Minister for the Ontario Growth Secretariat, at 416-325-5803 or 1-866-479-9781.

6oa12.1 Develop and main fain programs associated with identified groups
Programs
A set of story times ended this month with full registration. We have changed the focus
of some of our story time programs to allow us to add a program for babies. Previously
our programming for children began at 9 months. We now offer a program for babies
from birth to 12 months, a program for toddlers, a program for three to five year olds.
Registration was good for the programs this month. However, attendance was not
good. The weather may have played a part in some of the attendance problems.
A new set of programs will begin at the end of March.
The first Explorers Club enjoyed a fun program titled Viva Italia. This program was full.
Therapy Dogs of Canada Paws for Reading program continued this month with full
attendance in all time slots.
The Drama Club met every Friday afternoon and worked on drama and play writing
skills. They are creating a play to be performed for their parents in March.

GOAL 2: Create and maintain lifelong relationships with users:
Volunteers provided 307 hours of time, shelving materials in all areas and delivering
materials to shutins.
GOAL 3: Optimize and customize library services to our user groups:
To promote various areas of the collection, displays were created at the Reader's
Advisory desk on the topics of Black History, First Nation's Week, Valentine's Day,
Freedom to Read Week and Heart and Stroke month. Bookmarks listing library materials
available for borrowing were also created to promote these areas of the collection. From
the homepage, Michelle's Picks has also promoted 3 titles in the fiction collection for the
month, for those who do not come to the library. The Bookworms Bookclub discussed
Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant by Anne Tyler and the Canada Reads program was
promoted. Sixteen members attended. Thirteen shut-ins were provided with bags of
library materials in February.
GOAL 4: Advocate for increased public awareness of the value and range
of library services:
Two adult programs brought regulars as well as new members into the library - Both the
sessions on Using the Internet. for Dating and the Days of King Arthur were well
attended. The second session was extended to the Childrens Library and I was asked to
give 50 students a brief introduction to the online databases available from the homepage.
Meetings of the regular Lifescapes program and the Alumni group were held. Jayne
attended the Friends of the Library meeting to assist them with fundraising ideas for the
new library. And 40 people dropped in to see Mose Scarlet who was performing in the
library as part of the Blues Festival.
GOAL 5: Develop methods of measurement to evaluate the effectiveness of
library services and programs:
1254 individuals accessed the homepage during February and 52 people visited the Frost
papers. Use of the public computers continues to increase: 2020 bookings were made on
the public network and 159 were made on the wireless.
GOAL 6: Investigate, develop and maintain partnerships in the community:
Jayne manned a library display at the Leisure Fair and estimates that she spoke to at least
50 people. The winter newsletter was released in February, outlining the next steps for
the new library and temporary space. Dawn has advised that I should look at areas to
eliminate from my daily duties to allow for weeding the reference collection; therefore, I
have resigned from the Community Policing Committee for the time being. The
Information Orillia board met on Februrary 5`h and reviewed the progress made in
meeting the goals in the revised business plan.
I attended the Orillia Business Women's meeting. The speaker was from Workers
Compensation, so I took a bookmark listing references on the topic that might be of
interest to the group.
Goal 7: Attract, develop and maintain a trained and educated workforce.
Chantale has signed a contract with the library for the month of March. Jennifer took an
audio course on Web 2.0.

On behalf of Oro-Medonte Horticultural Society's executive and our members thank you so much for letting us
know Council approved our request for the grant. We thank you for the prompt manner is which this was
handled and are so appreciative that the full grant of $2,000 was accepted.
As you know, we still have much to do at the Bayview Memorial Stream Restoration Project, as well as, the on-
going Oro-Medonte Community Centre's garden since the oil tank has been changed.
We will continue to do all the other gardens in the Township as in prior years. The co-operation of the
Township and their staff have been just so appreciated in the past years, but especially in 2008, as the ayvie
Memorial Stream Restoration Project was just such an enormous project. Thanks to your dedicated staff,
especially Shawn Binns, the project went so smoothly. We will continue to work with Shawn as the project
comes to its completion.
With the economic times being what they are, we just want to say a special thank you for also waiving the fees
of $1613.50 for the use of the Oro-Medonte Community Centre Banquet Hall and the Old Town Hall.
Oro-Medonte is certainly a very special gem in the County and thanks to your generosity, we will continue to
make it beautiful.

The month of May is MS Month across Canada. The Simcoe County Chapter of the MS Society
of Canada would like to continue to call attention to this disease on behalf of the 55 00 to 75 000
Canadians and their families who live with MS. At present, there is no known cause and no cure
for MS.
In the Simcoe County Chapter we provide pamphlets, educational events, five support groups,
newsletters, memberships, act as a last resort to provide funding for the cost of equipment and
provide funds for some housekeeping. As well, we contribute equally to research to help in the
on-going search for a cause and a cure for MS. To these ends, we must continuously fundraise as
we receive no Government funding.
Our Mission Statement is:
"To be a leader in finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and enabling those
affected by MS to enhance their quality of life".
In accordance with our Mission Statement, in the last year, the Simcoe County Chapter spent $67
668. on equipment and services as well as gave $95 000 to Research.
We ask that you proclaim May as MS Awareness Month in your community.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

IV PRESENTATIONS
(a) Draft Lake Simcoe Protection Plan
Chair Hackson introduced from the Ministry of the Environment:
Mr. Paul Evans, Assistant Deputy Minister, Environmental Program Division,
Mr. Steve Klose, Director, Lake Simcoe Project,
Ms. Deb Pella Keen, Program Manager, Lake Simcoe Strategy.
The CAO provided an overview of the Draft Plan and provided highlights of the
Authority's comments and key recommendations. Three key points are:
• Appropriate funding;
• Acknowledgment of where the Authority can have the best lead
role(s);
• Working in a meaningful partnership as we all move forward.
Mr. Steve Klose provided a presentation highlighting what the Province has heard
through the community workshops, open houses and the comments received
through the Environmental Bill of Rights Registry (EBR).
Mr. Klose acknowledged the representation and support of the Authority Board
Members and staff at the various workshops.
In response to questions, the Province provided the following responses:
• It is the expectation that a summary of comments received through the
community workshops will be compiled and distributed.
• The EBR provides a mechanism where comments received can be viewed;
LSRCA Board of Directors
Meeting No. 02-09-BOD
February 27`h, 2009
Page 4 of 11
• A comments summary report will be presented to the Stakeholder Advisory
Committee as well.
• Several comments in relation to enforcement and the associated costs have
been heard. The Province will work with all partners to achieve better
outcomes with greater emphasis on awareness in relation to enforcement
issues.
• The Province will be continuing discussions with municipalities around
sewage treatment caps and the performance/flow of municipal sewage
treatment plants. These discussions will include addressing future growth.
The draft Plan will not stand in the way of what is currently in the
municipalities Official Plans. The imminent development of the Phosphorus
Strategy will also assist in this area which will link to the Growth Plan.
• Reference to the Uxbridge Stormwater Plant and Watershed Plan - the
Authority has done a great deal of work on these plans that should be
recognized. The Province responded that they will not be working from a
blank slate and acknowledge work done. The Phosphorus Strategy will
assist with setting targets and will allow decisions to be made on what is
achievable and within what timeframes.
• Province assured that they are working with the Agricultural community and
will continue to do so in terms of voluntary incentive programs and ensuring
communications are clear and concise.
• The Province will be meeting with the Federal government to discuss septic
system programs and available funding opportunities to identify where
partners can work together.
• The Province will be consulting further on the issue of Peat Extraction.
• The Province acknowledges concern about how the Growth Plan and the
Lake Simcoe Protection Plan will work together. Again, the Phosphorus
Strategy, once developed, will assist in this area and the issue of growth.
• In relation to reviewing growth boundaries and targets, the Province advised
that the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan will not speak directly to growth or the
Growth Plan. It will, however, speak to how growth can best be achieved.
The Plan will work in concert with timeframes, costs and technologies.
• The Province is urged to reference the Assimilative Capacity Study which
was prepared for the Province by the LSRCA. This should be used when
making decisions related to growth.
• The Province was urged to ensure that the message related to the need for
significant provincial funding to implement this Plan is kept at the forefront.
Targets and goals can be achieved as long as the appropriate funding is
provided.
• The Province was urged to ensure no duplication of efforts. Stewardship
programs were identified as one area - keep in mend that the Authority has
been actively involved with stewardship for many years and should continue
in a leadership role.

regarding the draft Lake Simcoe Protection Plan be received.

V/ HEARINGS
(a) Violation Permit Application by Mr. Daniel Bergeron
Unauthorized Shed Construction
Part Lot 27, Concession 9
South Half of Plan Lot 15, Plan 741
Town of Innisfil. County of Simcoe
Chair Hackson read the Hearing Opening Remarks and reminded the Board that
this file is currently before the Ontario Court as a result of a violation notice being
issued.
The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 03-09-BOD regarding the Hearing for Mr.
Daniel Bergeron in relation to his Violation Permit Application for the unauthorized
construction of a shed at the above noted address.
The LSRCA's Manager, Engineering and Technical Services provided an overview
of this file and reviewed current photos of the property and shed.
Ms. Robyn Carlson, Graham, Wilson and Green, provided a presentation on behalf
of the applicant Mr. Bergeron. A copy of their presentation was included with the
agenda and additional information was tabled at the meeting including an updated
survey and signed copies of the applicant's affidavits (unsigned copies were
included in the agenda).

Ms. Carlson challenged the information contained within Staff Report No. 03-09-
BOD indicating that the structure is not threatened by flooding however is subject
to wave uprush. Further, in the opinion of Ms. Carlson, as the structure is a
boathouse, it does not fall under the prescribed setbacks.
The Authority's Manager, Engineering and Technical Services responded to Ms.
Carlson's presentation advising that Ms. Carlson appears to have misunderstood
how evaluations are determined for flooding/wave uprush and explained the
process/calculation. Further, Ms. Carlson was reminded that staff have not
recognized the structure as a boathouse and continue to reference it as a shed.
The door on the shed and the rails were added after the structure was built; the
door that now appears was in fact a full wall with no opening.
In addition, staff advised that, as this property is in a regulated area, whether or not
the Town required a permit, the Authority would still be required to review the
application and issue a permit as needed.
Based on the information provided by both staff and Ms. Carlson, the Board
provided that:
• Given the applicant applied for permits in the past, it is apparent that he
understood the process and knew a permit was required in this instance;
• The steel break wall was constructed contrary to the permit issued;
• The shed was built and subsequently retrofitted to a boathouse (with the
addition of the door and rails);
• Confident that this was not originally built to be a boathouse but for use as a
shed;
• As the structure is more than 100 sq feet it requires a permit from the Town of
Innisfil, which was not obtained;
• Whether or not the Town of Innisfil required a permit for this work, the property
is located within a regulated area and therefore requires a permit from the CA.
Deputy Mayor Gord Wauchope advised that the Town of Innisfil's Chief Building
Officer(CBO) has visited this site and has some serious concerns regarding the
structure and the deck on top of the structure. Deputy Mayor Gord Wauchope
strongly encouraged Ms. Carlson to speak to the CBO in this regard.
Moved by: E. MacEachern Seconded by: K. Ferdinands
BOD-020-09 RESOLVED THAT Staff Report No. 03-09-BOD, regarding the
Violation Permit Application by Mr. Daniel Bergeron to
construct a Boathouse on Part of Lot 27, Concession 9, South

8. Lake Simcoe Clean Up Fund - Update
The Board dealt with Staff Report No. 08-09-BOD which provided an update on the
Authority's participation in the Federal program, Lake Simcoe Clean Up Fund.
The CAO discussed some challenges the Authority is facing with this program
including the timely completion of projects from Round 1 which in large part is due
to the late approvals received as well as the early arrival of winter. These projects
are to be completed by March 31, 2009, however the CA has requested time
extensions as this deadline cannot be met. Further, the CAO shared her concern
with continuing participation in the third funding round(2009-2010) if there is any
question of completing projects within the prescribed time (March 31, 2010).
The Board supported the CAO's concerns and urged the Chair and CAO to facilitate
a meeting with the appropriate Federal representatives in order to ensure the
project approvals can be expedited so that projects can be completed in a timely
fashion. The Board further requested a chronology of the program timelines and
asked that staff report back to the Board if there are concerns with the CA
participating in Round 3, prior to signing Contribution Agreements.

Muskoka)
