STRATEGIC COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT / AIR SERVICE PLAN LAKE SIMCOE REGIONAL AIRPORT BACKGROUND Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (LSRA) is located in the Township o of Simcoe, approximately 10 km northeast of the City of Barrie a City of Orillia. The Airport is jointly owned by the City of Ba Oro-Medonte (20%), and is managed by a Municipal Service Corpora the Airport’s operation and maintenance. Given recent infrastructure improvements, along with changes in the regional aviation market (i.e. the pending closure of Buttonville Airport), the Ai identified the need for a strategic plan to provide direction re and to guide the Airport’s management in realizing its operational and business objectives. The focus of the Strategic Plan includes the following elements: A review of the Airport’s role(s). Aviation activity forecasts. A land tenure and commercial development strategy that will opt development at the Airport and review land valuation and lease r An assessment of potential demand for scheduled air services an potential routes and target airlines. An Airport Land Use Plan that will guide development and assist achieving its objectives. AIRPORT ROLE To date, LSRA has served as a general aviation airport providing spectrum of users including corporate/business aviation, air charter services, rotary wing operators and recreational pilots. The Airport is also occasionally used by the Canadian Armed Forces, to support activities at nearby CFB Borden, and by agencies. Moving forward, it is recommended that Lake Simcoe Regional Airp primary role as a general aviation airport supporting the surrou and businesses. And with the recent infrastructure improvements 2011, the Airport has the flexibility and capability to expand u role as other air service demands and business opportunities pre including cargo, air passenger and aviation support services.

These include: Base - a baseline forecast, under the assumption that no major chang made to the current traffic mix, and that natural growth will ta account regional economic growth projections, Transport Canada f general aviation, and historic activity at LSRA. Scenario 1 - the baseline forecast, plus an expansion of flight training a under the assumption that Buttonville closes in approximately 20 one major flight school relocates to LSRA. Scenario 2 - the baseline forecast plus the initiation of scheduled passen services to some combination of Ottawa, Montreal and out west, p Bay, with 9-19 seat aircraft, and Scenario 3 - the baseline forecast plus an allowance for the accelerated development of business and corporate aviation activity. The total aircraft movements for the Lake Simcoe Regional Airpor 60,000 movements in the next 20 years through a combination of attracting flight training activity from Buttonville Airport, introducing some limited scheduled air service and slowly building the corporate aviation market.

The increased awareness Province’s Economic Employment District designation in 2010 comb capital investment and recent infrastructure development as a ti clear approach and policy for land development at the Airport.

The first phase of development could be constructed north of the access road with minimal servicing requirements. The second pha development would require the relocation of the main airport acc south property boundary. Northeast Commercial Area A should be developed in the long term which would cater to operators/businesses requiring large lot sizes.

Budget projections for 2012 were provided as part of the Strategic Plan of the SSEA (Schedule A of the Agreement) and as part of the Business Plan (Schedule B of the Agreement). The SSEA has considered operation costs over a five-year horizon, including 2012. The overall municipal share for 2011 has been $260,864. The share of that cost from the Township of Oro-Medonte has been $29,490. The overall municipal share of the SSEA budget for 2012 will increase to $310,864 as per discussion with the SSEA. The increase is due to slightly increased administration costs to the SSEA but also increased coverage of current staff salary & benefits within the SSEA Operations Accordingly, the request for the 2012 SSEA operating budget from budget. the Township of Oro-Medonte is $35,182. This amount covers SSEA operation and does not include requests for special project funding. During 2012, major activities of the SSEA will involve the following.

Vertical profiles of temperature and dissolved oxygen will be collected at the deepest point in the lake on a biweekly basis from the beginning of May to the beginning of October 2012 using a calibrated dissolved oxygen and temperature meter. Euphotic zone composite water samples will be collected at the deepest point of the lake. Lab analyses should include: low level total phosphorus, ammonia/ammonium nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total nitrate nitrogen, major ions (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulphate, chlorides) conductivity, pH and dissolved organic carbon. Euphotic zone composite samples of phytoplankton will also be collected and preserved with lugol’s solution for subsequent identification and determination of biovolume. Zooplankton will be sampled using a vertically towed plankton net and preserved for subsequent identification, enumeration and determination of biomass. A progress report will be made to Council in December, 2012 and presentation of findings will be made to Council in Spring of 2013. A technical report will be prepared summarizing the water quality status of the Lake. Page 101 of 137 12c) Correspondence dated September 23, 2011 from Keith Sh...

The objective of the project is to promote tree planting by residents in the Severn Sound area, improving environmental health and increasing tree cover. The project has been very successful: in the past five years, over 50,000 tree seedlings were purchased and planted by residents of the participating municipalities. The 2011 final report on the program (attached) recommends that the program be offered to North Simcoe municipalities for spring 2012. At this time, SSEA would like to determine if your municipality is interested in There is no direct participating in the 2012 Tree Seedling Distribution Project. funding required from the municipalities to SSEA ; however, municipal partners will be responsible for assisting with project promotion and some aspects of project implementation. SSEA will be responsible for: Ordering tree seedlings and coordinating seedling pick-up with the nursery. Creating electronic promotional materials for use by participating municipalities (i.e. information/pricing sheet, species selection guide, and Page 108 of 137 13a) Correspondence dated October 18, 2011 from Keith Sher... tree planting tips sheet). Participating municipalities can link to the SSEA website, which will contain all the promotional details. Receiving tree orders and payments from participating residents. We are proposing a tree order deadline of January 31, 2012. Providing receipts and pick-up instructions to participating residents. Coordinating volunteers for sorting and distribution of tree orders. The distribution day will be in either late April or early May 2012. Producing a final report on the project by August 2012. Municipal partners will be required to: Provide the information/pricing sheet to residents. Options for program promotion by the municipality include: municipal web-site and at municipal facilities (e.g., bulletin boards), inclusion in tax bills and/or other municipal mailings (where possible/appropriate), and local media (e.g., municipal page in newspaper). Promotional materials should be distributed to landowners in December 2011, to allow landowners sufficient time to place their orders before the proposed January deadline. Provide a suitable facility (e.g., roads garage) for the distribution location. The distribution location needs to be cool, indoors, and secure, with sufficient space to store tree orders for a few days. Provide assistance (e.g., staff, council member, or other municipal representative) with pick up, sorting, and distribution of tree seedlings. Bulk order seedling pick-up from the nursery (approximately ½ day): Several vehicles will be required, including SSEA vehicle(s); each municipality may need to send one truck and driver to the nursery, located in Everett, north of Alliston. The tree seedling bulk order is typically picked up from the nursery one or two days pr to the distribution day. Sorting bulk order into individual landowner orders (approximately ½ day): Tree seedlings are normally sorted one day prior to the distribution day. Distribution of tree orders (approximately ¾ day): The distribution thth day is tentatively either Saturday, April 28 or Saturday, May 5, 2012. The actual date will be determined in late March/early April; weather conditions determine when seedlings can be harvested and packaged by the nursery. th Please advise me by November 18 if your municipality would like to participate in this project for 2012. Yours Truly, Keith Sherman, Executive Director Severn Sound Environmental Association CC: SSEA Board Page 109 of 137 13a) Correspondence dated October 18, 2011 from Keith Sher... Prepared by M. Hudolin Background Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA), North Simcoe Stewardship (NSS), and the Townships of Tay, Tiny, Springwater, Oro-Medonte and the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene partnered together to provide local residents of the six municipalities with reasonably priced, native tree seedlings for planting in the spring of 2011. The objective of the project was to promote planting native tree species in the Severn Sound area. SSEA coordinated the program, ordering the seedlings, providing promotional materials to the municipalities, receiving seedling orders and payment from residents, and coordinating the pickup and distribution of tree seedlings. Results Nursery Seedling Order The preliminary bulk tree seedling order was placed with the nursery in July 2010. The nursery has a large demand for seedlings annually, and some quantities pre-ordered were not available. The nursery required confirmation of the final bulk seedling order in early February 2011, which necessitated a February 4th tree order deadline for participants. Tree pricing was not available from the nursery until December 2010, so it was not possible to set prices and promote the program earlier in the fall. Promotion In December 2010, SSEA produced a one-page promotional sheet for each participating municipality (Appendix A) that included a species and price list. Each municipality was responsible for determining how to best distribute the information to residents. Municipalities typically included the promotional sheet with tax bills, or mentioned the program in a newsletter or newspaper; information was also posted on municipal and SSEA web-sites. In addition, SSEA placed a paid advertisement in the Midland Mirror (Appendix A). SSEA also directly emailed past project participants to notify them the program was being offered again in 2011. SSEA prepared more detailed information, including answers to ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ to assist landowners in selecting species, planning for tree planting, and handling and planting trees. This information (Appendix B) was posted on the SSEA web-site; most municipal web-sites also provided a link to this page. The prices charged to residents for seedling trees varied according to species, but were reasonable (Appendix A). 1 Page 110 of 137 13a) Correspondence dated October 18, 2011 from Keith Sher... Landowner Seedling Orders SSEA accepted seedling orders by email or by telephone, to allow verification that the seedlings would be available from within our bulk seedling order. Response to the 2011 Tree Distribution Project was generally good. In total, 116 participants purchased 7,700 trees and shrubs of eight different species (Table 1). Several of the species offered sold out just before the tree order deadline of th February 4, 2011. General information on demand for additional species and quantities was tracked to help estimate seedlings that should be preordered in the future. When seedling orders were placed, approximately 96% of the participants provided an email address for correspondence about the program. Having email addresses enabled SSEA to quickly provide order confirmation information to participants, as well as send out reminders about the pick up day. For the first time, receipts and pick up instructions were sent out by email rather than ground mail; participants without an email address were mailed their receipt. Generally, larger orders of 100 trees or more were primarily composed of conifer species (pine, spruce, fir and cedar), which are likely being used for reforestation efforts. Smaller orders usually contained a larger proportion of hardwood trees and shrubs, which the landowner may be using for ornamental and/or wildlife habitat enhancement purposes. In March, SSEA generated receipts and pickup instructions for each order, which were mailed to participants by the municipalities in early April. Promotion of the program was focused in participating municipalities. Although the Townships of Severn and Georgian Bay did not participate in the 2011 Tree Distribution Program, residents from these municipalities were permitted to order trees, provided they were willing to pick up their seedlings on distribution day from a location in one of the participating municipalities. Approximately 14% of seedlings ordered in 2011 were from residents in non-participating municipalities. Demand for tree seedlings continued for several weeks following the order deadline; email addresses were tracked for disseminating information on the 2012 Tree Distribution Program. Seedling Pickup, Sorting & Distribution The bulk tree seedling order was picked up in the afternoon on Thursday, April th 28. SSEA coordinated the order pick up, and one pickup truck each from North Simcoe Stewardship, the Town of Midland, and the Township of Tiny was sufficient to pick up the seedlings in one trip. 2 Page 111 of 137 13a) Correspondence dated October 18, 2011 from Keith Sher... Volunteers, SSEA, and NSS staff sorted the seedlings into individual landowner orders at the Township of Tay Roads Garage in Victoria Harbour in the morning on th Friday, April 29. Orders for each municipality were then transported to the designated pickup locations by SSEA, volunteers and NSS staff. th The distribution day was Saturday, April 30. The timing of the distribution day was good – the nursery was able to harvest the trees to meet the deadline, and the majority of the hardwood species had not leafed out, which is optimal for handling, transportation and planting. A joint pickup location for Midland and Penetanguishene residents was used, which alternates between the two municipalities each year; Springwater, Oro- Medonte, Tiny, and Tay each used a facility in their own municipality for distribution (Table 2). The pick up times for Springwater and Oro-Medonte were scheduled so that the same SSEA representative could oversee distribution at both sites. On distribution day, participants were provided with a sheet Tree Planting Tips (Appendix C). Expenses Compared to Revenue The main expenses SSEA incurred for the 2011 project were staff time (processing seedling orders and project coordination), tree seedlings, mileage/vehicle costs, printing and advertising expenses, and materials (i.e., tree bags for packaging individual orders); sources of revenue included NSS funding, and proceeds from tree sales (Table 3). In-kind contributions by municipalities included project promotion (printing, postage, and media costs), staff time, and use of vehicles and facilities. In 2011, the revenue generated from tree sales and partner funding was sufficient to cover the cost of trees as well as all of the project expenses (Table 3). Conclusions and Recommendations The pilot project in 2007 and expanded program from 2008 to 2011 confirm that there continues to be a large demand by local residents for a native tree distribution program. In 2011, demand for seedlings continued for weeks after the order deadline, and many participants in all municipalities expressed an interest in purchasing trees again in 2012. This is a popular program that encourages private landowners to become involved in tree planting, improving environmental health at the local scale and beyond; to date, 50,580 seedlings have been distributed and planted by participants. It is recommended that the program be offered again in 2012. The preliminary tree seedling order for 2012 has already been placed with the nursery. The provincial government’s (large- 50 Million Tree Program scale tree planting) has increased demand for seedlings from nurseries, which necessitates placing the order well before autumn. 3 Page 112 of 137 13a) Correspondence dated October 18, 2011 from Keith Sher... Longer time-frames would be beneficial for dissemination of promotional materials and providing residents with ample time to consider participating in the program. Municipalities have varied deadlines for tax bills and other municipal mailings, and longer time-frames would allow for a variety of promotion options to be utilized. SSEA is working with the nursery to establish seedling pricing earlier, to allow for fall promotion of the 2012 program. A large bulk tree seedling order requires a considerable amount of vehicle space to transport. Bare-root seedlings are fragile and need to be handled carefully. Several of the trucks sent by the municipalities in 2011 were practical and convenient, having covered truck beds that helped trees cool and reduce wind stress on hardwood seedlings. When po depending on the size and type of vehicles the municipalities have available, SSEA will alternate which municipalities are requested to assist with tree seedling pickup. Municipal staff and/or representatives assisting with seedling sorting and distribution works well, providing a visible partnership, and helping to keep implementation costs low; this should be continued in future years. Picking up the seedlings from the nursery and sorting the bulk order the following day worked well because it adds flexibility to the sch however it requires that the seedlings are stored for an extra day and a cool storage area is required. A joint seedling distribution location for Midland and Penetang participants continues to work well. Recommendation #1: Continue the tree distribution program in 2012.

Bare-root plant material is sold with the roots exposed and bareof soil (i.e., seedlings are not potted). The stock is grown in fields, and is harvested in early spring when the plant is dormant. Bare-root stock is perishable, and must be handled carefully and planted as soon as possible. Buying bare-root stock is considerably cheaper than purchasing container-grown plants. How big will the tree seedlings be? In general, seedlings are 1 to 4 year-old bare-root plants (i.e.) in height, and ½ cm (1/4”) in stem diameter. The age and size of seedlings varies by species (for details, see our 2011 price list). For the 2011 Tree Distribution Program, all species are being soin bundles of 10 seedlings. Bundles of pine, spruce, cedar and fir will appear larger than hardwood trees and shrubs because the evergreen seedlings have needles, making the bundles bushier. htt://www.severnsound.ca/SSEATreeDistFAQ.htm8/17/2011 p___ Page 127 of 137 13a) Correspondence dated October 18, 2011 from Keith Sher...

For more information on preparing for tree planting, read the inSite Preparation. Tree seedlings are perishable, and must be handled carefully and planted as soon as possible, ideally the same day they are picked up. Where can I find details about the pick-up date, times and location? The pick-up day for tree orders will be a Saturday in late April or early May 2011. The date depends on spring weather conditions, which influence when the nursery can harvest the seedlings. The ck-up date and location may vary by municipality. Receipts and pick-up instructions will be sent in early April 2011, as soon as the details are finalized. Receipts will be required as proof of purchase on the pick-up date. You are responsible for seedling pick-up on the designated date. What if I can’t pick up my trees on the designated date?

SSEA - Tree Seedling Distribution - FAQsPage 5of 5 require more than one bag. How should I transport my seedlings home from the pick-up location? A trailer is not generally needed for picking up seedlings. Tree orders containing several hundred trees and/or a large proportion of evergreen seedlings will be bulkier than small orders of hardwood/shrub seedlings. Large orders may require a pick-up truck, but many smaller orders will fit in a van or in the trunk of a car. It is important to handle seedlings gently, and keep the seedlings cool and well ventilated at all times. Travel time should be minimized to prevent the seedlings from overheating in your vehicle, so plan to take your seedlings directly home once you pick them up. How do I handle, plant, and care for the seedlings? Tree seedlings are perishable, and must be handled carefully and planted as soon as possible, ideally the same day they are picked up. For more information on handling, planting and caringTree Planting Tips and Careful Handling of Nursery Stock. How long will it take me to plant my trees? Tree seedlings should ideally be planted the same day they are picked up. Inexperienced tree planters should plan on planting approximately 400 trees per person in an eight-hour day. Experieed tree planters will usually plant 1000 trees or more per person in a day. Should I fertilize my tree seedlings? If the right tree was selected for the planting site, fertilizerould not be needed to produce healthy trees.
