Mayor Harry Hughes
Township of Oro Medonte
148 Line 7S Box 100
Oro, Ontario L0L 1X0
Dear Mayor Hughes,
Can you believe another year has gone by so quickly and here I am asking for your support yet again!
I am happy to say that we will be holding our 3 annual 100K for United Way event! This year, in hopes of getting a
rd
warmer day, we are holding the event on Sunday, September 13, 2015. We will be utilizing the Oro Fairgrounds again
and for the most part, the same 3 routes as in previous years.
This year we have also included a Corporate Challenge Ï inviting companies in the Simcoe/Muskoka Region to enter a
team and vie for the new ÑSilver CycleÔ trophy for the team that raises the most donations (a trophy is also available for
any friends/family teams). Of course the Township of Oro Medonte is invited to join in the challenge!
Mayor Hughes, would you be available again this year to welcome everyone to Oro Medonte? Your attendance would
be appreciated!
I am also asking if the Township of Oro Medonte would once again waive the building permit fee for the tents that we
will be using at the fairgrounds.
As you are aware this event is being held to raise funds for United Way and its funded agencies that serve all of Simcoe/
Muskoka and we, of course, are trying to keep our event costs down so that more funds can be used where it is needed
the most.
Your consideration to waive the building permits for these tents would be greatly appreciated as well!
Should you require more information, I can be reached at probertson@UnitedWayGSC.ca or at 705-726-2301 x 2023.
With warm regards,
Paulina Robertson

Municipal Council Members,
The Simcoe County Road Supervisors Association (SCRSA) in conjunction with the City
of Barrie and the Association of Ontario Road Supervisors (AORS) will be hosting the
2015 Regional and Provincial Truck Safety Roadeo in September this year.
This is an important event that Simcoe County will be hosting and that features both
municipal and county operators and will include the best municipal drivers from across
the province.
The event started in 1994 to showcase in a competitive setting the expertise of the best
municipal truck drivers in Ontario. The Roadeo promotes operator skills, safety and
knowledge, brings municipal road employees together from across the province and is a
challenging and fun event for the competitors, their guests and dignitaries.
thth
The event will be held on September 9 and 10 at the City of Barrie Operations Center
on Ferndale Drive.
We are looking for support from all the municipalities within Simcoe County for drivers to
compete and for staff to help run this two day event.
The event will be promoted through both our local and regional media. AORS and
SCRSA have requested that the Minister of Transportation, Steven Del Duca, attend the
event to present the trophy to the winning driver, as has been the tradition over the past
number of years.
As part of the regional event, all members of Council are invited to compete in a similar
th
driving event that will be running September 9. I know that Mayor Harry Hughes is still
enjoying his big win in 2012. We encourage all members of Council to participate in this
event so that they may
a daily basis during the winter season.
We sincerely request that your municipality support this event by encouraging your
Public Works department to fully participate.
Attached is a registration form for both drivers, volunteers and member of Council.
Sincerely,
Bob Morrison
SCRSA President

Ontario Municipal Cycling Infrastructure Program
Building cycling infrastructure is important in helping us achieve the vision of #CycleON:
Ontario's Cycling Strategy <http://www.ontario.ca/english/publications/ontario-
cycling-strategy.shtml>: Ontario as a great place to ride a bike.
As part of #CycleON Action Plan 1.0
<http://intra.mto.gov.on.ca/english/publications/ontario-cycling-strategy.shtml> ,
the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has established the $10 million Ontario Municipal Cycling
Infrastructure Program, to help municipalities build new and improve existing cycling
infrastructure.
Under this new program, municipalities are eligible to apply for funding for up to 50% of the
total eligible costs of a cycling infrastructure project to a maximum amount of $325,000.
Funding will be provided between April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2018.
The program includes a two-stage application process that involves the submission of an
expression of interest (EOI) and, for municipalities shortlisted on the basis of their EOI, an
application form. One EOI is permitted per municipality and MTO expects to hold a single intake.
Both EOIs and applications will be evaluated in a competitive process.
The deadline for submitting an EOI is August 6, 2015.
To learn more about the Ontario Municipal Cycling Infrastructure Program and how to apply,
please read the EOI
<http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/GetFileAttach/023-
5073E~1/$File/5073E.pdf>form and Program Guide
<http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/GetFileAttach/023-
5073E~2/$File/5073E_Guide.pdf> .
MTO also plans to hold an information session to answer any outstanding questions. Please
contact us by email at omcip@ontario.ca <mailto:omcip@ontario.ca> if you would like to
participate.
Frequently Asked Questions may be updated in response to queries during the EOI period. We
recommend you consult the most recent version before contacting us with questions or
submitting your EOI. Thank you

Cycling Training Fund 2015 and 2016
Cycling is a popular activity in Ontario, for recreation and to get around. But your training as a
cyclist probably ended when your parents took off your training wheels.
Many municipalities and other organizations already offer a variety of programs to help kids and
adults learn more about cycling safely. Ontario is committed to helping build and encourage
opportunities for cycling training in the province as part of its first Action Plan
<http://www.ontario.ca/english/publications/ontario-cycling-strategy.shtml>to
support #CycleON <http://www.ontario.ca/english/publications/ontario-cycling-
strategy.shtml> , a 20-year vision for cycling in Ontario.
Through our new Cycling Training Fund the Ministry of Transportation is allocating $380,000 in
financial assistance in 2015 and 2016 to help partners develop, enhance and deliver cycling
skills training programs in the province. Municipalities, school boards, schools, businesses and
non-profit organizations are all eligible to apply.
This new fund will support projects that provide opportunities for cycling education in schools or
at the community level, build skills to promote safe and enjoyable cycling, and encourage
healthier and more physically active lifestyles.
This time-limited funding is part of Ontario's Promotion, Celebration and Legacy Strategy for the
2015 Pan/Parapan American Games.
Two types of funding are available:
1.Cycling skills training projects or cycling instructor training projects
up to $2,500 for delivery of cycling skills training.
up to $3,000 for delivery of cycling instructor training.
Applicants will have two opportunities to apply for funding.
For projects delivered in 2015, applications are now being accepted until Sept. 4, 2015.
For projects delivered in 2016, applications will be accepted from Oct. 15 to Dec. 15,
2015.
Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis.
2.Cycling curriculum and/or public education projects
up to $25,000 for cycling curriculum development or enhancement, and/or public education.
Applicants will have one opportunity to apply for projects delivered in 2015 and/or 2016.
Applications are now being accepted until Sept. 4, 2015.
Applications will be evaluated in a competitive process.
To learn more about the Cycling Training Fund and how to apply, please read the Application
