celebration of community heritage. Designed to create access, awareness and
excitement about our heritage, Doors Open Ontario provides residents and visitors with
a unique opportunity to explore and enjoy the sometimes hidden and always interesting

1.Doors Openoverview
Successful Doors Open events have charmed crowds since the first Doors Open Day
(La journée portes ouvertes) took place in France in 1984. The idea soon spread to
neighbouring European countries and all 48 signatory states of the European Cultural
Convention now participate in European Heritage Days.
The City of Toronto launched the first Doors Open program in North America in 2000.
The success of Doors Open Toronto motivated the Ontario Heritage Trust to launch a
provincewideinitiative –the first of its kind in Canada –in 2002. In the 14-year historyof
the program, community participation has increased dramatically. In total, heritage
enthusiasts have made oversixmillion visits to 626different Doors Open Ontario
events!The program has inspired the development of similar provincewide programs
across Canada.
th
Entering its 15year, Doors Open Ontario continues to be a cultural phenomenon.It

local economies. DoorsOpen Ontario has matured into a vibrant, significant program
that continues to support communities and build civic pride.

3.Where to start
Your community’s Doors Open Ontario event can be as simple or ambitious as you
wish. Whether your community features 10properties or over 100, your event should:
promote pride in your community’s heritage
draw visitors from other areas of Ontario, Canadaand abroad
build a legacy by integrating heritage and culture into community planning and
events
generate economic and business opportunities at the community level through
programming and heritage tourism packages, and in some cases, the
development and sale of related merchandise
foster strategic alliances among a range of community partners
create opportunities for sustainable community tourism development and
partnerships
In many cases, Doors Open events can be linked with existing festivals, attractions and
tours in the region to maximize tourism opportunities. Linking to an existing festival or
event also allows organizers to use the expertise and skills of the existing volunteer
base.
3.1Establishing an Organizing Committee
Each community must form a Doors Open organizing committee, usually consisting of
representatives from municipal or regional heritage, tourism, arts and culture units,
Municipal Heritage Advisory Committees (formerly called LACACs), Architectural
Conservancy of Ontario branches, heritage/historical organizations, tourism
organizations, arts councils, chambers of commerce and business associations.
Event co-ordination will vary depending on the size and scope of the community event.
In some communities, an event coordinator may need to be appointed while in others,
the role may be assumed by a volunteer or staff member from aparticipating
organizationor municipality.
Most communities have opted to co-ordinate events by committee. Specific people are
charged with the tasks of identifying properties, interpretive/educational programming,
marketing/promotion, event management and volunteer recruitment.
One
lead contact must be appointed by the local Doors Open organizing committee to
co-ordinate, manage and act as liaison between the Ontario Heritage Trustand the
participating community/community cluster. The name and contact information of the
lead contact may be made available by the Trustto other organizers, stakeholders or
members of the media for the purposes of supporting or promoting Doors Open Ontario.
Thecommittee determines the date(s) of their community Doors Open event, and the
hours that sites will be open. Eventstypically run for a single day or twodays during a
weekend, with sites open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

April 16,2016and October 23,2016
Events must be held between.Spreading Doors
Open Ontario events over a six-month season allows your community to choose the
most appropriate date for your region.
3.2Selecting properties
The range of suitable Doors Open Ontario heritage sites includes: commercial buildings,
places of worship, cemeteries, inns, schools, factories, theatres, boats, gardens,
museums, fire halls, railway stations, lighthouses, sports complexes, observation
towers, private galleries, civic buildings, lookouts, jails, industrial sites and private
homes. Event coordinators are also encouraged to incorporate natural heritage sites
and trail systems into their events, where possible.
The 2016 theme of medical science and innovation will emphasize medical sites and
sites associated with medical heritage to recognize and interpret significant people,
places and events highlighting Ontario’s contributions to medical science and
innovation. Potential Doors Open sites can include places that tell the story of medical
science innovators, leaders and educators;discoveries and inventions relatedto
pharmaceuticals, apparatus and procedures, development of public health care policy
and legislation, professional associations and advocacy groups.
When a theme is implemented, it will influence the types of sites chosen. It is the
responsibility of the local organizing committees to identify appropriate properties and
establish contact with their owners.
To help with future site selection and planning, listed beloware the interpretive themes
for Doors Open Ontario for the next threeyears:

To facilitate a greater number of multi-site visits per participant, wheneverpossible,
three or more sites should be clustered together within walking distance or a short
driving distance. A property may have a disappointing visitor turnout if it is difficult to
find, isisolatedor is a long distance from most of the other participating sites.

3.3Developing events/activities/exhibits
Doors Open Ontario is an ideal vehicle for organizing special events or activities in your
community. Organizers might want to consider guided walks and tours, concerts,
exhibitions, book readings, craft displays, lectures or talks, re-enactments and special
children’s activities.
Guided walks and tours are popular. Organizers may use them to illustrate the work of
an architect, aspecial period in time orthehistory of a district. Properties can also be
used as the setting for a historical lecture, art exhibition or musical concert. Re-
enactments also attract crowds –consider recreating a famous battle, sporting event or
court case that occurred at a property.
3.4Interpreting properties
Visitors must receive information about the historical, cultural, natural or architectural
significance of all participating Doors Open Ontario properties. Information may be
provided by any convenient means such as flyers, interpretive panels, multimedia
shows, lectures, exhibitions and informal tours or through discussions with the
volunteers. Photocopies of existing information brochures or handouts may be
sufficient.
The Trustprovides a template for a basic Property Interpretation Flyeras part of the
resource materials available to participating communities.
4.Managing your event
4.1Staff/volunteers
Community organizing committees are responsible for ensuring that each property
provides sufficient volunteers and/or staff at each open site to manage visitors
adequately. Volunteers and/or staff:
ensure public safety (crowd and queue control)
provide information to the public (direct visitors to entryways, exits and
washrooms; answer questions; provide directions to other Doors Open sites
in the community;etc.)
guide tours and provide interpretive materials/experiences
protect the site (act as security attendants –security attendants should not be
responsible for providing public information as it distracts their attention)
ensure that each site is identifiable from the street through highly visible signs
The Trustprovides a detailed tip sheet offering suggestions for Recruiting and
Managing Volunteersas part of the resource materials available to participating
communities.

4.2Visitors
The number of visitors each property attracts varies greatly. Properties/events near
other Doors Open activities will attract more visitors than isolated properties. Weather
andother unforeseen circumstances can also have an impact on visitor turnout.
Well-timed dissemination of promotional information to area residents and media is
critical to raising local/regional awareness of your event. During your event, it is also
important to post signs that indicate the locations of Doors Open properties to visitors.
Highly visible directional signs are useful for ensuringthat visitors know how to get to
the properties.The yellow Doors Open Ontario signs –providedby the Ontario Heritage
Trust –can be used to fulfil these objectives.
A representativeat each property should develop a method of tracking the number of
Attendance figures need to be recorded for submission to the
visitors to the site.

. The organizingcommittee is required to include these numbers
in the evaluation form that must be submitted to the Trustwithin one monthof the end of
their event.Providing final visitor numbers to the Trust is an essential step invalidating
the success of the program and demonstratingthe need for future funding.
The Trusttip sheets–Developing a Promotion and Publicity Plan,Participating in Doors
Open Ontario –A Site Organizer’s Guideand Helpful Hints –101 Pieces of Advice from
Past Events (a compilation of tips from community organizers)–provide suggestions to
boost visitor turnout. These tip sheets are included in the resource materials available
through the Doors OpenOntario website.
4.3Finances and funding

provides a tip sheet for developing a Promotion and Publicity Planas well as a template
for writing a Media Releasefor Doors Open Ontario community events. The Trustalso

Each participating Doors Open Ontario site must ensure that health, safety and security
issues are addressed in accordance with legal requirements.Public safety and security
are of utmost importance. Doors Open organizing committees should confirm and
discuss this requirement with each site prior to the event.
In opening any property to the public, the possibility that personal injury, safety, theft,
loss or damage may occur must be considered. Each site must take measures to
protect personal belongings, collections or the property itself from theft or vandalism.
Sites should be equipped to provide the following:
barrier-free access wherever possible (full or partial access)
Doors Open Ontario is a program of the Ontario Heritage TrustPage 9of 16
Page 42 of 380
5.b) Minutes of Heritage Committee meeting held on Monday, N...
information about nearby parking (either street or lot parking)
a procedure for crowd control and line-ups (barricades, marked entry/exit, etc.)
information about washroom availability (on or adjacent to the site)
security against theft/destruction of property (attendants, cameras, cordoned off
areas, etc.)
health and safety provisions (first aid, fire exits, etc.)
The Ontario Heritage Trustwill not assume responsibility for any accidents, injuries, loss
or theft of items that occur during community Doors Open Ontario events.
The Trustoffers suggestions concerning safety and security issues for Doors Open
Ontario community events in the Site Organizer’s Guidetip sheet provided in the
resource materials available to participating communities.
4.6Public liability and property insurance
Each community organizing committee must ensure that all participating sites and
properties have adequate public liability and property insurance. There are, however, no
consistent approaches across the province due to the diverse range of organizations,
levels of government and volunteers involved in managing Doors Open Ontario
community events. For community Doors Open events that are led by a municipality,
the public liability insurance held by these bodies may cover the participating sites.
Communitieswill need to verify the coverage provided by their lead organization, and if
none is provided, additional coverage may need to be obtained. Consult your insurance
carrier. Some participating sites, such as commercial, federal, provincial and municipal
buildings, may have their own public liability insurance if they are normally open to the
public.
In addition, each participating site must ensure that they have adequate property
insurance to open their site to the public. The onus is on the property owner to verify
whether their existing insurance coverage is adequate, or whether they will require
additional coverage. As circumstances may vary from carrier to carrier, it is important
that each site worksdirectly with their insurance provider to determine whether
adequate coverage is in place.
Some Doors Open Ontario committees ask each of the sites participating in their event
to sign an agreement confirming that the site is insured for public liability, damage and
theft and that committee members will not assume any responsibility for any accidents,
injuries, damage or loss that may occur during their Doors Open Ontario community
event.
4.7Building tourism partnerships
Organizing committees from participating communities should be willing to partner with
community tourism operators to provide new tourism products and packages.
Examples of potential package items include:
overnight accommodation and meals
Doors Open Ontario is a program of the Ontario Heritage TrustPage 10of 16
Page 43 of 380
5.b) Minutes of Heritage Committee meeting held on Monday, N...
entertainment (shows, concerts, amusement parks, guided tours, etc.)
transport (cruises, train tours, helicopter rides, etc.)
outdoor activities (horseback riding, canoeing, hiking, rock climbing, etc.)
local sites and events (festivals, markets, galleries, museums, etc.)
5. Evaluating your event
The first step toward building on the success of the Doors Open Ontario program at
both the provincial and community level is to evaluate it. Good information on
performance is important to any program, particularly those in a nichearea –such as
heritage tourism. In the Community Resource materials, the Trustprovides each
participating community with a series of evaluation forms to facilitate analysis of local
events. These include:
Visitor Survey –an evaluation of a visitor’s Doors Open Ontario experience
Site Organizer’s Evaluation Form –an evaluation of a site organizer’s experience
of participating in a Doors Open Ontario event
Community Organizer’s Evaluation Form –an evaluation of a community
organizing committee’s experience of participating in Doors Open Ontario and
working with the Ontario Heritage Trust
The Trustprovides templates for the evaluation forms as part of the resource materials
available to participating communities. Organizing committees are responsible for
one month
submitting the Community Organizer’s Evaluation Formto the Trustwithin
ofthe conclusion of their event.
6.Role of the Ontario Heritage Trust
The Ontario Heritage Trustco-ordinates the provincewideprogram and works with
corporate sponsors, heritage and tourism groups, the media (print, television and radio)
and other funding organizations to provide participating Doors Open Ontario
communities with the following:
overall program co-ordination and administration
provincewidepromotion, media relations and branding (see details in Section 6.1
below)
community resource materials, including tip sheets on topics such as recruiting
and managing volunteers, securing sponsorship and funding, developing a
promotion and publicity plan, and managing health, safety and security issues; as
well as templates for property interpretation materials, media releases, visitor
surveys and site organizer’s evaluation forms
colourful bilingual Doors Open Ontario property identification signsfor each
participating site
regional information sessions across the province involving key
regional/community stakeholders, property owners and partners (as required)
French translation of community event information for the Doors Open Ontario
lure brochure, website and other provincial marketing materials

6.1Provincewidepromotion, media relations and branding
Promotion in the Doors Open Ontario brochure
Each participating community/community cluster will have their local event promoted in
the Doors Open Ontario lure brochure. The brochure, produced in English and French,
is designed as a tourism “lure” pieceto raise the profile of the program and direct
readers to the Doors Open Ontario website for more detailed information about each
eventand participating sites.Each participating community will have its event name,
one photo
date and featured in the brochure–so choose your photo carefully!
Your chosen photoshould be estheticallypleasing and representative of your
community or thespecific theme that you have chosen for yourevent.People may
decide whether to visit your event basedon thisphoto alone, so it is best to feature an
image that will prompt an immediate interest or resonate with readers for its beauty.
Since the selected image will also be featured as the background image for your event
page on the Doors Open Ontario website, itis also important that it be a high-resolution
file (at least 300 dpi) with a landscape (horizontal)orientation –i.e., its width should be
greater than its height.
In 2016, the Trustestimates that approximately 1.3million printed units, composed of
brochures and other hardcopy promotional materials,will be printed and distributed
throughout Ontario, Canada and abroad. The majority of these unitswill be distributed
as inserts in local newspapers within participating communities. Other distribution
outlets will include1-800-ONTARIO call centres, Ontario Travel Information Centres,
Government Information Centres, community outletsandsponsor/partner venues.
Community organizers must submit their chosenimagefor the brochure to the Trust by
January 29,2016
. All images must be submitted through the Doors Open Ontario
website usingthe username and password provided following your registration.
Doors Open Ontario website (www.doorsopenontario.on.ca)
Each community/community cluster will be givenan event page on the Doors Open
Ontario website that features a full listing of participating sites. Your Doors Open
Ontario event page is a critical resource for your event, as it will be the first –and, in
some cases, the only –place that prospective visitors go to collect detailed information
about your event. Yourevent page will contain theevent date, general contact
information, background information about your community, instructions on how
someone can become a volunteer and,most importantly, a listing for each participating
site that includes the site name and address, the dates and hours it will be open, a
photo gallery, a map and a written description of the site’s significance.
All site listings must be completed online and submitted via the Doors Open Ontario
website. Registered community organizers will have access to the
Site Listing Form
through their login to the website.The Ontario Heritage Trust reserves the right to edit
the submitted information for content, styleand length. The Trust assumes no liability
for errors or omissions. Photos associated with each site must also be submitted via the
Doors Open Ontario is a program of the Ontario Heritage TrustPage 12of 16
Page 45 of 380
5.b) Minutes of Heritage Committee meeting held on Monday, N...
website(captions can be submitted by email under separate cover). Community
organizers can submit as many photos as they wishfor any given site, but a primary
image must be identified. These photos will be used to compilea slideshowfor each
site, with the primary image appearing as the default image next to the site description.
The first10 site submissionsfor your event–including full site descriptions and photos–
February 26,2016
must be completed by . This deadline will ensure that all participating
events are well represented on the website whenthe season launches and Doors Open
Ontario promotional products aredistributed in April 2016.Community organizers can
one month
continue to submit new site listings for additional sites up toprior to their
event. It is strongly recommended that community organizers submit listings via the Doors
all
Open Ontario website for participating sites. If certain sites are not included on the
Doors Open Ontario website, prospective visitors will not gain an accurate impression of
the associated event.
Available in English and French, the Doors Open Ontario website is an importanttool
for promoting the program across Ontario, Canada and abroad. During the 2015
season, there were nearly158,000 visitors to the Doors Open Ontario website,
representing over 555,000 page views.
Media relations
The Trustwill develop and implement an integrated media plan promoting Doors Open
Ontario events.
Over the past 14years,DoorsOpen Ontario has garnered extensive media coverage
(print, internet and broadcast) throughout the province. Last year’s coverage included
850 print and broadcast news stories, with an audience of over 20million and a publicity
value of nearly $760,000.
Site signs
Colourful bilingual property identification signsin both English and French will be
provided to each community. These signs will draw attention to each site’s participation
in the program and aid in brand recognition of Doors Open Ontario.You will be
contacted by a Trust representative in March 2016to determine how many signs you
will require for your event.Signs are ordered online through the Doors Open Ontario
website only. The Trust orders signs for the season based on totals sent by each
community, so select the numbers of signs you’ll need wisely.
7. Event cancellation
If an event has to be cancelled due to unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances, local
event organizers will assume all responsibility for notifying the public, negotiating
unfulfilled contracts and providing reimbursements,where necessary. If the cancellation
occurs later than March 1, 2016(after the Doors Open Ontario brochure has been sent
to print), there will be no refund of the registration fee. If an event is in danger of being
Doors Open Ontario is a program of the Ontario Heritage TrustPage 13of 16
Page 46 of 380
5.b) Minutes of Heritage Committee meeting held on Monday, N...
cancelled, it is highly recommended that it be scaled back in size rather than cancelled
completely. Significant efforts should always be made to avoid cancellation, as it is
impossible to notify all prospective visitorsadequately.Event organizers should contact
an Ontario Heritage Trust representative to discuss options prior to cancelling an event.
The Trust would be pleased to discuss with communities the estimated financial value
of its Doors Open Ontario program coordination, marketing and related services that
support each community event.

NOTICE
The Government of Ontario
OGRA/ROMA Combined Conference
Sunday February 21 Wednesday February 24, 2016
Toronto, Ontario
Individual Ministers and Parliamentary Assistants are being asked to participate in municipal delegations.
Please note that not all Ministers and Parliamentary Assistants will be taking delegations. If your
municipality wishes to meet with a Minister or Parliamentary Assistant, we ask that you complete and
must
submit the online form. Please note all request forms include the name of a contact person who is
knowledgeable about the issue and available to respond to ministry inquiries in a timely manner.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) will respond to delegation requests for the Minister
of Municipal Affairs and Housing. MMAH will advise other Ministers and Parliamentary Assistants of
delegation requests and decisions on delegations will be made and given to you by the Ministers
requested. To assist in expediting your delegation request, we ask that you use the Municipal Delegation
Request Form rather than going through your MPOffices.
In order to facilitate municipalities inplanning their delegation schedules we will advise municipalities of
no delegation requests will be accepted
their delegation times prior to the conference. As a result,
after the DEADLINE of FRIDAY, January 08, 2016.
Municipalities will be contacted by the respective Ministries about their requests and, if applicable, the
one week
meeting time and location, approximatelybefore the Conference.
You can now submit one form to request delegation meetings with up to 4 ministries. To request
delegation meetings with more than 4 ministries, please submit a new form. Please limit issues for
discussion to a maximum of 3 per ministry. We ask that delegates not meet with more than one Minister
on a given issue. To make the most of the delegation time available (delegations usually run 15 minutes),
please ask to discuss your issue only with the Minister or Parliamentary Assistant responsible for that
issue.
Thank you.

HIGHLIGHTS
of the NVCA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
No. 11-15 November 27, 2015
Smaller NVCA board comes into effect January 2016 (pilot project)
At their September 2015 meeting, the board approved a one-year pilot project that will
see board membership go from 27 to 18 members in 2016. The pilot project required
the support of all 18 member municipalities. At this meeting, the CAO and Chair
announced that all member municipalities have agreed to participate in the pilot project.
The change comes into effect at the January 22, 2016 board meeting.
2016 Draft Budget review period extended
In October, the NVCA 2016 Draft Budget was approved by the board and circulated to
watershed municipalities for review. The draft was originally circulated with a 30-day
review period. During this time, staff were notified that not all municipalities will have
their budgets approved by end of 2015. In light of this, the board extended the review
period and will vote on the budget at the February 26, 2016, board meeting. The board
also approved an interim levy based on the 2015 budget in order to minimize work
interruptions.
Latornell Symposium:
NVCA Chair Councillor Doug Lougheed, Member Councillor Fred Nix and staff summed up
their experiences at the 2015 A.D. Latornell Conservation Symposium held in Alliston
November 17-19. Climate change, extreme weather, communications, stewardship projects
and natural heritage were the workshops attended.
In brief
During this meeting, the board also:
Recognized Logan Juffermans, NVCA Planning Assistant who received his Young
Conservation Professional Certificate from Conservation Ontario. Logan was
presented with his certificate at the 2015 Latornell Symposium.

Staff Report No. 48-15-BOD prepared by Manager, Regulations, Beverley Booth regarding this application
was attached to the agenda, as was a presentation submitted by Mr. Bruce Blacktopp, owner of Zephyr
Fish Farm.
The Board approved staff’s recommended that the application submitted by Zephyr Fish Farm Inc. be
denied. Staff’s recommendation was based on a number of factors, including that the proposed
excavation of peat from the wetland would alter and interfere with the hydrologic functioning of the
wetland, would result in the loss of flood storage, and would have a detrimental impact on the
conservation of land. Other significant factors included that an approval would be contrary to Provincial
legislation under the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (Policy 6.23-DP), as well as LSRCA Ontario Regulation
179/06, and would set a negative precedent for future applications.
Moved by: R. Simpson Seconded by: D. Bath

generation contract, the application period has been extended and the annual revenue expectation has
been lowered. Accordingly, staff is now recommending a scaled down option.
Moved by: J. O’Donnell Seconded by: A. Eek
BOD-141-15 RESOLVED THAT Staff Report No. 53-15-BOD be received; and
FURTHER THAT staff be authorized to submit an application to the Feed-In-Tariff

Regional Councillor Wheeler asked how bids are handled at LSRCA. CAO Walters explained it is a sealed
bid process and a scoring matrix is used, and that for this particular project, the technical requirements
are critical to process.
Regional Councillor Wheeler asked if a review of LSRCA’s purchasing policy could be done at a future
meeting. CAO Walters advised that staff was planning to bring recommended changes to the purchasing
policy to the December 2015 meeting.

8.Purchasing Policy – Contracting Brook McIlroy to complete a Site Assessment to advance the
Education and Training Facility Project, Scanlon Creek Conservation Area
Deputy Mayor O’Donnell requested clarification on the rationale for the site assessment. General
Manager, Communications and Education, Reneé Jarrett explained that a review of the facilities in 2014
revealed that the facilities are at the end of their life cycles and refurbishing them would not meet
projected growth needs in five years. These results led staff to look at new concepts, including a
potential new facility site on the property. GM Jarrett went on to advise that staff is now seeking
approval for a comprehensive site assessment by Brook McIlroy.

Dear Mr. Irwin:
On behalf of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, please accept my heartfelt
find safe haven in Ontario. Your generosity and those of other AMO members will make a
difference in the lives of the families we will help save.
Our fundraising goal was $40,000 to support two families to come to Ontario. I am
pleased that we have surpassed our target and raised $67,540.00 to date and donations
continue to come in. All proceeds will be donated to Lifeline Syria which plans to resettle
1,000 families to Ontario.
I understand that many municipal councils across the province are mobilizing in their
communities to help the refugees in a variety of ways both financially and non-financially.
I encourage you to keep up the efforts that will make such a difference in the lives of the
refugee families.
Yours sincerely,
Gary McNamara

Dear Robin,
RE: BUDGET REQUEST FOR THE SEVERN SOUND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATION
AGREEMENT - 2016
On March 26, 2009, the Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA) Agreement was
renewed to create a Joint Municipal Service Board under the Municipal Act (Section 202).
SSEA Operational Budget projections for 2014 to 2018 were provided as part of the SSEA
Strategic Plan, approved by the Board in 2013. The projections incorporate a deficit reduction
plan and increased administrative costs from the Town of Midland and a small overall increase
of 3.5% due to increased general administration costs of SSEA operations. Included in the
deficit reduction plan is a planned surplus of $25,000 in the SSEA operational budget over
each year of the five year period. The deficit has already been significantly reduced in 2013
and 2014. It is expected that the plan objectives for 2015 will be met. With the approval of the
2016 budget by all nine municipal partners, the SSEA will be better able to serve the
community while meeting our fiscal responsibilities. The attached budget table provides the
five-year operational budget projections in context with the 2013, 2014 and 2015 year figures.
The overall municipal share of the SSEA budget for 2015 has been $422,224. The share of
that cost from the Township of Oro-Medonte for 2015 has been $47,842. The overall
municipal share of the SSEA budget for 2016 is $433,392. The requested share of that cost
from the Township of Oro-Medonte for 2016 is $49,104 (not including HST).
During 2016, major activities of the SSEA will involve the following.
Source Water Protection
Continued monitoring of Bass Lake streams
Habitat assessment
Stewardship Project and Tree Distribution
Monitoring (Streams, Groundwater, Benthos, Temperature, Habitat)
Sustainability Plan for Severn Sound
Page 291 of 380
13.a) Partners/Outside Agencies 2016 Budget Requests: Sustai...
During 2015 we completed inspections of properties within the Township that were listed as
having activities that may pose significant drinking water threats to the municipal water supply.
The Approved Source Protection Plan (SPP) for South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Source
Protection Region was released (effective date of July 1, 2015). In addition, the Approved
Assessment Reports for the Severn Sound Source Protection Area, The Nottawasaga Valley
SPA and the Lake Simcoe and Couchiching-Black River SPA, covering the entire Township,
were also released (January, 2015). In 2015, the Township signed a Risk Management
Services Agreement, delegating authority to the SSEA to act on behalf of the Township in
order to implement SPP policies under Part IV of the Clean Water Act. The estimated 2016
request for funding under this agreement (the majority of which is eligible under the Source
Water Municipal Implementation Fund Agreement from the Province) will be $4,500 (not
including HST). This will provide for continued work on managing existing significant drinking
water threats to the Township’s drinking water supplies under the Source Protection Plan
policies. Review of proposals for properties that may result in future significant drinking water
threats will be reviewed on a “charge back” rate to be confirmed by the SSEA Board.
There are a number of private wells located within the municipal wellhead protection areas
and/or the municipal service areas in the portion of the Township within the Severn Sound
watershed (estimated over 100). In discussion with Township staff, the need has been
expressed for incentive funding to support private well upgrades for substandard wells or well
abandonment of unused private wells in the Severn Sound watershed portion of the Township
in order to protect the Township’s water supplies. It is proposed for 2016 that the Township
hold $6,000 to be used as incentive funding for wells in the Severn Sound watershed portion of
the Township. The SSEA would work with Township staff to promote the funding to private
landowners with priority being given to those properties with private wells in municipal
wellhead protection areas and/or municipal service areas, on a first-come-first serve basis. It
is our understanding that well upgrades and abandonment incentive funding is already
available in other watershed areas of the Township.
In summary, the total request for funding from the Township for 2016 is as follows.
SSEA Municipal share from Oro-Medonte for Operations in 2015 $49,104(+HST)
SSEA Risk Management Services for 2015 $ 4,500(+HST)
SSEA-Township private well incentive program
(to be held by the Township for reimbursement to landowners) $ 6,000
Total request: $59,604
Thank you for your continuing support and participation in the Environmental Association. We
have appreciated the assistance provided by Councillor Barbara Coutanche, your
representative on the Association. If you have any questions, or if you would like a deputation
to present our request please contact me.
Yours Truly,
Keith Sherman, Coordinator

Dear Mayor & Council at the Township of Oro-Medonte;
Ontarios Lake Country has been working on a product development project over the last few months to assess
the opportunity for paddling routes within the region. We are excited and proud of the outcome of this project
and the opportunities for the future. On behalf of the committee working on this project we have prepared this
Low Impact Waterways Report as communication on this project, to provide information and an update on our
progress and next steps.
Within the document you will find details of the project including:
A project overview and phases
The committee members
Market & local research
Routes assessed & conclusions
Criteria
Recommendations
We have completed stage 1 and are at the point of transition between stage 2 and 3. We are confirming all of the
routes and access points with each of the municipalities and working towards the development of a mapping
component including a print piece to use for marketing and information purposes and reviewing opportunities
for an online component. The goal is to have the maps available in the spring at the consumer travel shows
Ontarios with our partners Tourism Simcoe County. This would provide an opportunity for
awareness of the paddling opportunities available in Lake County and would allow us to target the GTA
market that attends these shows.
Can you please confirm, at your earliest convenience, that the Township of Oro-Medonte agrees that Ontario
Lake Country can move forward with print and online materials to promote paddling in Lake Country
that will include two routes in Oro-Medonte, Bass Lake & Carthew Bay, and their access points as stated in the
report and appendix. We again thank you for your ongoing support as a municipality, and look forward to
discussing the recommendations with staff and looking at next steps. We are excited about the future of
paddling opportunities in the region and the growth of tourism in Lake Country.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Whitley

MARKET RESEARCH
Information gathered to determine the market for low impact waterway usage
National Marine Manufacture Sales (US) 2011 sales: 77,800 Canoes, 234,800 Kayaks
Canoes, kayaks or rowboats are the most common type of boats owned in Ontario (Boating in
Ontario 2013 Survey)
30% indicated they are motivated to come to the Lake Simcoe Watershed for low impact outdoor
recreation (Assessing Visitor Travel and Spending Patterns for Recreation and Tourism in the Lake
Simcoe Watershed)
26% of households in Ontario own a boat (lower bound on number of boats 1,830,000) (The
Economic Impact of Recreational Boating in Canada 2012)

ROUTES ASSESSED
OLC has conducted an assessment specific to canoe/kayak and stand up paddle board opportunities on
the waterways in our geography. The outcome of the project showcases the appreciation and the
potential this market holds, including the assessment of 15 potential routes (of varying length, difficulty,
etc.), and the identification of access points that are suitable to move forward with. The assessment
included research into the requirements needed to bring the routes to a market ready state and which
partners are willing/able to assist with and or address various characteristics or gaps. Below is a map of
assessment information, found in the Appendix.
CONCLUSIONS/NEXT STEPS:
1.w impact waterways destination, we have a regional cluster
of paddling routes at various levels of activity
2.Create a printed map and an online component (microsite) to showcase the individual routes
and increase the awareness of opportunities available
3.Develop a marketing plan to distribute the maps and drive traffic to the OLC website for further
information on activities
4.Continue working with Simcoe County and the BruceGreySimcoe and the municipalities on
development of other routes and discussion around upgrading some of the access points and
determining a signage plan
5.Continue to work with businesses and linking them to the routes; review the opportunities for
growth and experience development from the stakeholders

ȃ Room to turn/park a boat trailer (for outfitters)
ȃ Outfitters that service the waterway
ȃ Events on the waterway
ȃ Washrooms/garbage cans
ȃ Defining features along the waterway
ȃ Supporting infrastructure nearby (restaurants, accommodation, etc)
CRITERIA TIERS
Each route/access point was tiered based on the information from the assessment. The group
confirmed that there is currently no mapping of the waterways and very little signage. Taking these two
components into consideration we have tiered the routes knowing these recommendations need to be
focused on in the future at most of the locations. We can move forward with tier 1 routes if stakeholders
are on board. The committee has provided recommendations for each of the routes.
Tiered Rating
1 - Market Ready has all of the need to have and some of the want to have and nice to have
2 - Basic upgrades and changes needed has 2/3 need to have and some of the want and nice to have
3 - Require more work/longer term
RISKS
Some of the risks considered: proper signage, ample parking, residents affected, safety, emergency
information provided, disclaimers utilized.
COSTS
There is no direct cost to the municipality unless they wish to advertise on the materials including the
map. However, it is suggested that each municipality take into consideration the recommendations, if
applicable, provided and consider future budgets to help fill the gaps in the criteria that were found
including; signage and access point maintenance/upgrades.
