March 6, 2017
Dear Colleagues,
It will come as no surprise that, over the past several months, our government has been
hearing from many parts of Ontario about the impacts of recent pupil accommodation
reviews, particularly in Ontarios rural and remote communities. Our government
supports and values all communities in Ontario, and our school boards and
municipalities must make every effort to work together to ultimately support positive
experiences for our studentsand the communities they live in.
As you know, school closures and consolidations are among the most difficult decisions
that school boards have to make. This is especially true in our rural and remote
communities. Ontario entrusts school boards with the responsibility to review their
school accommodation needs and for ensuring that student achievement and well-being
are supported by all accommodation decisions that are made.
However, we also know that some parts of Ontario face demographic challenges, while
others are seeing considerable growth. We want to assure all of our community partners
that our government is committed to finding solutions to meet both local needs and the
educational needs of Ontarios students.
Starting this spring, our government will launch an engagement on new approaches to
supporting education in rural and remote communities. Three Parliamentary Assistants,
MPPs Granville Anderson, Grant Crack, and Lou Rinaldi, will gather feedback on how
our province can further strengthen the future of rural education.We are also pleased to
provide you with an update on how our government will further support local decision-
making and complete communities moving forward.
Pursuing Joint-Use Opportunities between School Boards
Communities and the province expect Ontarios four schoolsystems to maximize the
opportunities of co-location. Prior to commencing with student accommodation changes
through closures, it is our governments strong preference that school boards fully
explore joint accommodation arrangements with coterminous boards, particularly to
maintain a school presence in a rural or isolated community. Of the 4,900 schools in
Ontario, only 37are currently joint-use arrangements in which pupils from one or more
boards share a facility.

In July 2013, prior to the launch of the Ministry of Educations 2014 Capital Priorities
program, the Ministry stated a preference for these joint-use projects, committing to
review these proposals before any others. Additionally, the Ministry of Education has
committed$600,000 to assist school boards in pursuing joint-use school opportunities
between school boards. This funding is being allocated to support school boards with
facilitation and joint planningtowards the potential development of joint-use school
proposals, as well as on studies being commissioned by the Ministry of Education to
highlight joint-use experiences and develop a joint-use school toolkit that can be used to
assist school boards in developing joint-use schools.
Moving forward, the Ministry of Education will be reviewing all capital proposals
submitted by school boards for ministry funding for new schools, additions or
consolidation projects to ensure joint-use opportunities between boards have been fully
explored before funding is granted.
Importance of School Board and Municipal Partnerships
We have recently had the pleasure of speaking with many of our municipal and school
board partners. These conversations have highlighted many positive examples of
collaboration and joint local planning between school boards and municipalities. But we
have also heard about potential inconsistencies and difficulties in current community
collaboration, including instances where municipalities and communities have not felt
meaningfully engaged in pupil accommodation reviews. These difficulties can arise for
many reasons, but we would like to remind school boards and municipalities of the tools
we have provided to facilitate an effective process and provincial expectations with
respect to engagement by involved parties:
Annual Community Consultation: Reforms to Ontarios Planning Actand
Development Charges Actwere made in 2015 to help create more complete
communities and to provide citizens a greater, more meaningful say in how their
neighbourhoods grow.The Ministry of Educations Community Planning and
Partnerships Guidelinewas also introduced in 2015 to ensure that each school
board hosted at least one meeting each year to discuss their capital plans and
opportunities for joint planning and facility partnerships with relevant communities
and stakeholders. We have heard from some boards that these meetings are not
well attended, and from some communities that they were not aware of them. It is
imperative that these meetings involve all relevant stakeholders, and facilitate
real dialogue between boards and the involved communities. Further, board
policies must reflect this guidelineprior to the commencement of new
accommodation reviews. To be effective, these meetings require community
engagement and attendance and a spirit of real partnership from all parties.

Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline:Updates to the Pupil
Accommodation review guidelinein 2015 were introduced following consultations
with school boards, municipalities and other community partners to enable a
more effective review process. This included a new requirement that impacted
municipalities and community partners are consulted regarding the potential
accommodation changes. It is our expectation that this is a meaningful
engagement from both boards and municipalities, and that full input and
feedback from the municipalities, including local economic and community
impacts where relevant are reflected in the final staff report and advice to
trustees. The new process also requires boards to put forward concrete
proposals in the form of initial staff recommendations. These should not be
interpreted as pre-determined outcomes, but rather as a means to ensure
focused engagement.
Our government expects school boards and communities to be making active and
continual efforts to facilitate positive, inclusive relationships with each-other.
The changes made in 2015 to the Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline also
changed the minimum requirement for the school information profiles shared at the
commencement of an accommodation review to no longer require information outlining
the value of the school to the local economy. This change was made to reflect input
from school boards that this information was not readily available or in their area of
expertise and could be better reflected in the input from municipal and community
partners.
While accommodation decisions must support student achievement and well-being as a
primary goal, this change was not intended to discount the importance of engagement
with communities to understand the impact of accommodation changes or to disallow
boards from considering the impacts on communities and local economies from their
final reports or deliberations.
Going forward, our government will be considering how community impact could be
included in the pupil accommodation process, included with anticipated impacts on
student achievement, transportation and outcomes. We will work with municipalities and
school boards to explore how the government can best support this type of analysis in
the pupil accommodationreview process.
Enabling Community Hubs in Schools
Through the Premiers special advisor Karen Pitre, our government has been
considering how we can use public property in a manner that takes into account the
best interests of local communities. A community hub can be a school, neighbourhood
centre or other public space that offers co-ordinated services such as education, early
years support, health care and social services.

Many schools have some space that is or could be used by community organizations
through lease or other arrangements when the space is not required for school use.
The province has encouraged school boards to work with local communities and in
2015 released the Ministry of Educations Community Planning Partnership Guideline to
help facilitate these opportunities.
We have also made a number of investments to support this goal, including:
Capital Funding for Community Hub School Retrofits:The Ministry of
Education announced $50 million
in November 2016 to support retrofits of
available school space for use by new community partners, or improve
accessibility for schools to enable community use.
Capital Funding for Community Replacement Space:In theevent that an
original school location that housed community partnerships is closed or sold,
capital funding will be available for replacement space for eligible community
partners in new schools, additions or retrofits to existing schools. Details
regarding eligibility for this new program will be announced ahead of the Ministry
of Educations 2017 Capital Priorities program request for submissions.
Surplus schools have also been identified as potential community hubs in some
communities, and our government is serious about taking the next steps on this
strategy:
New Rules for Disposition or Lease of Surplus Property: Changes to O. Reg.
444/98doubled the current minimum surplus school circulation period from 90 to
180 days, and expanded the list of organizations that can place an offer before
surplus school property is placed on the open market. This is intended to enable
potential community hub projects to reuse surplus school properties where there
is a viable business plan and identified partnerships necessary to develop a
community hub
Disposition of Surplus School Board property: In 2017-18, we will also be
proceeding with the recommendation in the Community Hubs Strategic
Framework and Action Planto consider supporting the sale of surplus schools at
less than fair market value, where there is a provincial interest to enable viable
community hubs, while keeping school boards whole.
Community Hubs Summit: We are also pleased to announce that the Ontario
Community Hubs Summit will be held from May 1-3, 2017, which will feature
keynote speakers, hands-on workshops and opportunities to interact with and
learn from others.

Recognizing that planning for strategic partnerships cannot be developed quickly or
easily, in instances where communities and school boards see innovative solutions to
local needs with opportunities for potential community hubs in school properties
involved in accommodation reviews, we are requesting that school boards and
municipalities with opportunities advise the Ministry of Educations Capital Policy and
Programs Branch and the Ministry of Infrastructures Community Hubs Divisionat
community.hubs@ontario.ca
preferably before the Community Hubs Summit. We will
endeavor to work with the partnersto ensure that these opportunities areconsidered
within existing resources. In some cases, this could include providing facilitation
services that would help community organizations, municipalities, and school boards
develop their proposals for community hubs.
Enhancing Education in Rural and Remote Communities
Ontarios rural and remote communities have been impacted by a diversity of socio-
economic trends. We also know that the future will not look like the past. For our rural
communities to thrive, our government knows that students must be supported by high-
quality education, strong local community programming, and innovative local economic
strategies. Thats why weve taken the following actions to support our rural and remote
schools:
Supporting Broadband Expansion: Our government is moving forward with its
commitment in the 2016 Ontario Budget to provide secure, affordable broadband
access to all of Ontarios students and educators, especially in northern and
remote parts of Ontario, to enable equitable access to rich and innovative
learning opportunities.
Supporting E-Learning Opportunities:Our government provides secure
access to the provincial Virtual Learning Environment which supports delivery of
eLearning courses that otherwise might not be available close to a students
home. Additionally, we are investing over $6 million for distance learning delivery
by the Independent Learning Centre of TVO that helps students from a variety of
backgrounds gain necessary education credentials. Together these support
equitable and timely access to credit courses.
Remote & Rural Funding Support for School Boards:We have made the
education funding formula less dependent on enrolment. Since 2012-13, annual
GSN funding for rural boards has increased by nearly $200 million or 5.7 per
cent. In addition, we have made the following changes the funding formula to
meet the unique needs of rural and remote communities:
o Increased funding to support the higher cost of purchasing goods and
services for small and rural school boards;
/6
Page 203 of 238
14.b) Correspondence dated March 6, 2017 from Hon. Mitzie Hu...

o Investments in top-up supports for rural schools to fund the heating,
lighting and maintenance costs of excess spaces in schools that are a
considerable distance from the next closest school;
o Introduced new factors that reflect distance and dispersion of schools in
the distribution of special education funding;
o Funding for additional principals in schools that combine elementary and
secondary students, depending on enrolment levels; and
o Funding to support a minimum number of teachers and early childhood
educators for remote schools with small enrolment.
It is our hope that our engagement this coming spring will allow us to highlight further
opportunities that will proactively enhance the quality and delivery of education in rural
and remote communities inOntario.We will work with our partnersto finalize the details
of this engagement process and share thesein the coming weeks.
Conclusion
There are a number of initiatives across government that are working to ensure that we
have complete communities whether they are urban, rural, northern or remote. Each
community has different needs and together we need to makesure we are working
together.
We welcome your thoughts and suggestions as we continue to evolve to meet the
changing demographics and needs of our communities.
Sincerely,

Discussion: Identified in the Report Card as a municipal gap, this project will foster the
relationships within the community to initiate Climate Change Planning and set
municipalities up to access funding which can then be complimented by new FCM
programs. The goal is to develop a local community of knowledge (_community of
practice_) for local governments, corporations and individuals to convene and leverage
information to better understand the risks associated with climate change events.
Understanding climate risks is a vital first step to developing actions to acceptably
reduce risk. By considering how the overall function of service areas (i.e., natural
environment, utilities, buildings, and emergency management) may be affected by
climate change events, an understanding will be achieved on the impact of climate
change to our unique region. This project will help our communities identify resiliencies,
and provide the support to develop and prioritize the climate strategies that can be
implemented in the short-term, while laying the foundation for on-going, long-term
changes.

Why Should You Read This Report?
Community Energy Plans (CEPs) are gaining momentum across the province, with over 64% of the population
in Ontario now being represented by a CEP. The Ontario Climate Action Plan lays out how the government
intends to spend the estimated $1.9 billion annually as collected from Cap and Trade, and included in this is
$25 million to support the development of CEP. This report provides an overview of Community Energy
Planning, including:
The Benefits for Municipalities ()
Options for Plan Development ()
Available Funding Opportunities to Support a CEP ()
Recommendations to Municipalities (if your municipality is not ready for a CEP, consider these

BACKGROUND
What is Community Energy Planning?
Page | 2
Community Energy Plans (CEP) detail how energy is used in communities, and how the use of energy affects
the community including cost, energy resiliency, and environmental and social health. Community Energy
Plans also demonstrate how sustainable energy management can meet objectives which relate to climate
change, community growth and development, enhanced energy dependability and stimulation of the local
economy through job creation, business attraction/retention and by keeping more money in the community.
Many municipalities and regional municipalities have begun to consider energy by developing energy and/or
sustainability plans, incorporating energy targets into Official and Strategic Plans, and undertaking energy
efficiency retrofits.
This report provides and overview of Community Energy Planning, including:
Benefits for Municipalities
Options for Plan Development
Key Considerations / Challenges / Opportunities
Funding for a CEP
Recommendation to Partner Municipalities.
COMMUNITY ENERGY PLANNING
Why Should a Municipality Develop a Community Energy Plan (CEP)?
Some of the key motivations for developing and implementing a CEP include:
Economic development and job creation
Reducing energy spending and energy costs
Keeping money in the local economy
Enhancing the competitiveness of the community
Business attraction and retention resulting from improved costs and system-reliability
Creating opportunities for businesses that already exist to integrate energy systems
Finding alternatives to address grid capacity challenges
Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Improving air quality and community health
Fostering a corporate and community culture around energy conservation.

14.d) Minutes of Sustainability Plan Steering Committee (SPS...
Options of Scale for Developing a Community Energy Plan (CEP)
CEPs can be developed to suit the needs and capacity of the municipality, and have been developed at the
following scales:
CEPs can be led by a single municipality, or by another group representing a collection of
municipalities
Page | 3
Neighbourhood-scale (i.e., high-use areas, those slated for development, new residential)
Plans could be developed to correspond with opportunities and constraints associated with
electricity, natural gas and thermal distribution systems (i.e., lack of natural gas service,
identification of opportunities through the Integrated Regional Resource Plan (IRRP) for the Parry
Sound/Muskoka sub-region)
Small communities have incorporated energy policies/actions into existing municipal documents
and plans, rather than creating a new MEP/CEP, such as:
- Official Plans
- Transportation Plans
- Waste Management Strategies
- Key performance indicators within municipal departments (Performance
Measurement Plans)
- By-laws
- Development applications
- Design standards checklists.
Key Considerations
When developing CEP, municipalities and communities which have undertaken this process advise:
Political, staff and community leadership is needed when a CEP process is initiated
A strong political champion is essential for leading a vision for the community, motivating staff and
shifting attitudes to build a culture of awareness around energy
Support is needed within municipal departments, including planning, finance and engineering
to ensure the success of the CEP
Community leaders play an important role in supporting specific actions in a CEP (i.e., public transit,
energy efficiency, education, etc.)
An incremental CEP may help to increase support, as it enables the municipality to adapt to public and
stakeholder reactions to the plan
Utilities staff, provincial energy staff, real estate developers, economic development representatives,
Chambers of Commerce have been listed as important stakeholders
Integrate the CEP into both the capital budget and the operations and maintenance budget
When comparing projects, emphasize life cycle cost of projects, as some energy projects might have a
higher upfront cost, but can lower operations and maintenance costs in the long-term

14.d) Minutes of Sustainability Plan Steering Committee (SPS...
Data Acquisition and Management
The experiences of other municipalities have resulted in the following consistent comments:
Energy data (including electricity, natural gas and other fuels, thermal, transportation and waste data)
is needed for valuable CEP
Page | 4
Energy data create an energy profile of the community and can help staff and decision-makers
understand how energy is being used, what the costs are, and how much of the money being spent is
leaving the local economy
Communities with technical/staff resources can turn data into energy maps (approach may not be
practical for small communities)
Provides the information needed to conduct accurate cost/benefit analyses and prioritize actions in a
pragmatic way
Energy utilities and provincial agencies have a critical role to play in providing communities with the
energy data they need to develop an inventory, prioritize actions and monitor progress; this will
require Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and other agreements
Challenges and Opportunities
Funding programs might not help overcome broader implementation challenges
The skills and capacity gaps vary from community to community
When addressing capacity constraints, consider where capacity is needed, including:
- From an operations/maintenance perspective (i.e., staff may not know how to
operate equipment once it is installed),
- From a strategic perspective (i.e., staff may not have the skills to advance energy
planning and implementation within the community), and
- discuss and identify solutions to these challenges (project risk-management).
Policy gaps and/or the presence of energy subsidies can act to discourage implementation
CEP implementation depends on energy literacy at the political, staff, stakeholder and public level; so
discussion is needed among elected officials, municipal staff, stakeholders and the public about the
costs associated with energy, the value associated with investing in energy projects and products, and
the risks associated with underinvesting in community energy
Funding Opportunities
energy needs, identify opportunities for energy efficiency and clean energy, and develop plans to
meet their goals. The MEP Program provides successful applicants with funding for 50 per cent of
eligible costs, up to a maximum of $90,000 to develop a municipal energy plan. A second funding
stream for open to municipalities that have already developed a complete or partial Municipal
Energy Plan, Climate Action Plan or other energy plan. This funding is for enhancing an existing
energy plan, (i.e., updating utility or building data and/or creating new implementation plans or
maps). Applicants may receive 50 per cent of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $25,000.

The ECB program will support projects such as awareness campaigns, material and course
development, workshops and education programs. The program offers funding of up to $100,000
per initiative, across three categories:
- Implementation of a Community Energy Plan
- Skills and capacity development
- Open Category (to support initiatives involving a unique or innovative idea,
approach or delivery method that provide education, build capacity and develop
the skills around energy projects).

Recommendations from SSS to our Partner Municipalities
If your municipality is not ready to yet develop a CEP, recognition and general support can be given to
municipal interest in CEPs by integrating support for CEP actions into Official Plans or other planning
documents (Transportation Plans, Waste Management Strategies, Key Performance Indicators within
municipal departments such as Performance Measurement Plans), By-laws, Development applications, and
Design Standards Checklists). Roundtable energy workshops can also be useful to connect municipal land use
planners, economic development staff and other stakeholders to understand how energy planning can be
incorporated into municipal planning and financing, prior to undertaking a full CEP.
SSS and the SPSC recommend that our partner municipalities:
Consider incorporating language into Official Plan Reviews that encourage new development to be
energy-supportive through design principles that can accommodate the future installation of electric-
vehicle charging stations -) and solar energ-).
Recognize energy related policies such as plans for GHG reductions, energy efficiency and demand
management measures, community energy solutions (renewable generation, combined heat and
power, district energy) and requirements for community energy planning in Official Plan Reviews.

cluded an action to promote, encourage and
lower community energy consumption, which involves using partnerships to develop and implement a
community energy plan, expanding renewable energy initiatives and strengthening the partnership
with Burlington Hydro Grid Smart City Initiative. Including these energy-related actions into a Strategic
Plan can result in better buy-in from local governments, municipal staff and the community.
For more information, visit http://cms.burlington.ca/AssetFactory.aspx?did=19272
CEP Considerations in a Zoning By-law
Before March 2008, City of Toronto Zoning By-laws did not allow for the generation or selling of
energy using renewable energy sources or co-generation devices. The updated By-law provided an as-
of-right zoning permission to produce and distribute energy from renewable energy and co-
generation devices. For more information on Zoning By-law 569-201, visit

0f89RCRD
Other Considerations
Municipalities can integrate Transportation Demand Management and energy planning considerations
into developments by including conditions which support walkability, the preservation of natural
areas for appropriate or enhanced stormwater management, and the construction of energy efficient
homes. Siting of buildings can also promote the efficient use and conservation of energy through the
design and positioning of streets and lots, as orienting streets within 30 degrees of an east/west axis
maximizes the benefits of passive solar gain and optimizes conditions for the use of photovoltaics
