HVPOA DEPUTATION TO ORO-MEDONTE TOWNSHIP COUNCIL, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 13,2:00PM
- INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MATTERS -
The Oro-Medonte Township has given the HVPOA the opportunity to do this very important deputation
to Council on Initial Recommendations on Planning and Development Matters in Horseshoe
Valley/Highlands. The main objective of this deputation is to help maintain and improve the high quality
of life of our unique four-season, recreational residential communityThrough orderly and
responsible planning of future growth. In particular, this includes helping to guide new development
applications affecting the Horseshoe Valley/Highlands Area. The Official Plan policies are out dated.
The HVPOA is very fortunate to have retained the services of a very well-known and respected
professional planner, Mr. Bob Lehman, who is making the main presentation to Council on our behalf.
Uncertainty and anxiety in our area has been magnified over the past year and beyond by numerous
activities: the proposed sale and development of our championship Highlands Golf course, the
inappropriate clear-cutting of our woodlots, the inadequacy of our sewage treatment capacity and
uncertain demands on limited groundwater supply to handle major new development, and the
insolvency of a major developer, to name a few. Horseshoe already has hundreds of proposed lots for
development in various stages of approval, that makes consideration of development of Highlands golf
course lands, a natural recreation foundation of our community, premature and unjustified for decades.
s twofold:
(A) defer consideration of any major proposed new development lots created in our Horseshoe
Valley Settlement Area until at least 3 things occur: (see presentation for details)
1) approval and implementation of the municipal Class EA (Environmental Assessment) for water
and waste water services (requiring a permanent, affordable solution for sewage treatment);
2) approval and implementation of the municipal Class EA for Horseshoe Road improvements;
3)
newly amended Official Plan for the Horseshoe Valley/Highlands area; all of the above to
follow full and interactive public involvement of our Horseshoe community; and
(B) act on immediate priorities, that:( i) strengthens renewed development approvals (eg. Horseshoe
Ridge Phase 4), requiring items 1 &2 above; and, (ii) in interim, until Horseshoe master plan in place,
across all Horseshoe, consider new community protections and improvements for our open spaces,
wooded areas, groundwater & amenities. This requires providing for wooded/natural protection
zones & buffers, a tree cutting by-law, site plan controls, new building lot yard set-backs (50 ft.min.)
abutting golf course resident properties, a linked trail system, and better development staging.
Council has a major responsibility to ensure that guiding land use planning policies and permissions are
up to date, complete, and reflect the current needs and full involvement of the community. Compliance
with Provincial Policy Statement, Simcoe County Official Plan, and Provincial Growth Plan, 2017 is key.
Much effort and many meetings by our community members, a focus group, volunteers, our board of
directors, Mayor Hughes, Councillor Coutanche, their staff and others, have helped bring focus to our
deputation. We review and act quickly to put these measures into place. The HVPOA
Council presentation by Bob Lehman will be posted on the HVPOA website after the deputation.

Re: HVPOA Recommendations on Holding By-law Opportunities, December 13, 2017 Council Meeting
Dear Mayor Hughes:
Thank you and Council again for deferring the agenda item of the Holding by-law matter to allow a
direct dialogue consultation occur between our professional planner Bob Lehman and Andria Leigh,
Director, Development Services. We wanted to do three things with this correspondence to you:
1) Request and confirm that the proposed Holding by-
lands b
2017 Council meeting; and
-
staff would not directly address the four specific concerns of the HVPOA on behalf of our Horseshoe
Valley/Highlands community, thus providing some specificity to the holding conditions.
3) We feel that there may be an opportunity for a complementary Council resolution to clarify the
specific studies that would be required by an applicant, in a manner that conforms to your current
Official Plan policies.
The four specific concerns of the HVPOA were stated in our earlier correspondence to you as follows:
preparation of an update to the comprehensive development plan
preparation of a natural heritage inventory
completion of a comprehensive servicing strategy
completion of traffic impact study based upon new development levels.
We believe that the objectives of HVPOA, the township and any potential development company should
be aligned on these issues as the construction of appropriate infrastructure, protection of the
environment, and provision of adequate servicing is clearly of interest to all.
As such, in addition to approving the holding by-law, and in looking for an alternative method of having
these issues addressed in an appropriate manner, we note that section E1.1 of the Official Plan deals
d plans that the
Township may require from an applicant in order to have an application considered complete and then
processed under the provisions of the Planning Act.
Section E1.1.4 of the Plan lists the studies reports and plans that may be required, some 50 or so of
them. We would note that all of the information that HVPOA is requesting through either an interim
control by-law or a holding by-law are potentially dealt with by studies that may be required as part of
HVPOA 4 Highland Drive, Oro-Medonte, Ontario L0L 2L0

the complete application process. More specifically we would note that this section of the Official plan
could require the following studies to be completed:
We believe these studies would address the specific issues raised by the HVPOA. These studies should
be both supplemented and included in an update to the Comprehensive Development Plan(CDP). We
believe that any development not contemplated by the CDP should be incorporated into the Plan with
some consideration of the ultimate development scenario and how that might impact the original
wĻĭƚƒƒĻƓķğƷźƚƓ
As such, it may be appropriate to complement the Holding By-law with a Council ƩĻƭƚƌǒƷźƚƓ requesting
staff to ensure that if any new development applications come forward, the above noted studies be
We are hopeful that, as this is already provided for in the Official Plan, that this clarification to help
guide new development in our community be acted upon by Council to ensure that our concerns are
addressed on behalf of our residents at an early stage in the development process. Thank you and
Council for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Ian Veitch

Doors Open Simcoe County 2018

Dear Heritage, Community and Culture Partners, Re: Doors Open Simcoe County 2018
!
This year we are proposing a county-wide Doors Open event to be held on
Saturday September 29 and/or Sunday September 30, 2018 showcasing regional history
and architecture as well as celebrating Canada's cultural diversity. The 2018 theme is
Equality and a Fair Society. It is our hope that a Simcoe County Doors Open will
connect a wide variety of new sites and venues as well as support returning participants from
previous years.
!
Doors Open Simcoe County is coordinating in partnership with the Ontario Heritage Trust. Doors
Open Ontario phenomenon operates under the banner of Doors Open Ontario, a province wide
heritage tourism initiative led by the Ontario Heritage Trust. Each year participating communities
across Ontario host a one or two day weekend event where local sites of interest are open at no
charge to the public. The program was launched in 2002 to create access, awareness and
excitement about the province's built heritage. It provides unique opportunities to explore and enjoy
some of the most interesting places in Ontario cities, towns and villages - many of which are not
typically open to the public. In the program's 16 year history there have been nearly six million
visits to participating Doors Open sites. Over a number of years, municipalities within our
county have participated in Doors Open. It is our hope that this year you will be interested in
participating in a county wide program.
U!
!
For those of you unfamiliar with Doors Open, I am including a Frequently Asked Questions
document. The weekend chosen for the event coincides with Culture Days; a National event
that celebrates all things arts and culture. Along with FAQ's, I have also included a 1.5 pager
explaining Culture Days.
!
If you are interested in participating in a Doors Open Simcoe County, please contact me at
705-726-9300 ext. 1620, email: donna.goodwin@simcoe.ca . Interested communities will be invited to a
meeting to form our working group and start organizing a great event.

FrequentlyAskedQuestions
!
1) Why would a property or site be showcased? What are the benefits of
participating In Doors Open?
!
People who open their properties during Doors Open play an active role in the
celebration of their community's history and culture. There are important and fascinating
stories connected to properties all across Ontario, but without Doors Open events,
these stories are sometimes left untold. Interestingly, it's not always the people who
open their properties that are the ones telling the stories; visitors during Doors Open
events have been known to share intriguing tales about their own personal connections
to a site. In this way, the people who showcase their properties often learn as much as
those who are visiting.
!
Doors Open participants may also benefit from the vast amount of marketing and
promotion that is conducted as part of the program. Participating sites are not just
promoted across the local community; they are also marketed province wide through the
Ontario Heritage Trust's website and printed materials. As such, a relatively unknown
Doors Open site may receive more public exposure in one weekend than it typically does
in an entire year. Participating in Doors Open is also a great way to meet new people
and to develop strategic partnerships with other local sites and organizations.
!
2) Why are properties selected as potential sites?
!
In simplest terms, properties are selected because they are interesting. Some Doors
Open Ontario sites are selected for their historical, architectural, natural or cultural
significance, but all selected sites share an ability to attract visitors. We believe that
there is a general interest in people wanting to explore firsthand. The community
representative initially determines the selection and approval of participating sites.
!
3) Who does the selection of the properties?
!
Representatives from the local Doors Open organizing committee work on a list of
potential properties for inclusion in the event. An effort is made to include a variety of
properties (e.g., places of worship, public buildings, natural heritage sites, etc.) from
various areas within Simcoe County. Your community representative and/or Doors
Open Simcoe County Committee determine the selection and approval of participating
sites.
!
4) Do properties have to be open entirely to the public?
!
No. It is the responsibility of the site representative to determine which parts of a
property to open during the Doors Open event. We do ask, however, that at least a
portion of the site that isn't normally open to the public, since this is the premise behind
the Doors Open concept. We also ask that visitors be granted permission to visit any
part of the property that is directly connected to its significance. For example, if a

CULTURE DAYS FACT SHEET
Launched in September 2010, Culture Days (www.culturedays.ca) is an annual event
that features individual artists, diverse cultural groups, organizations, municipalities,
and festivals who come together to catalyze and inspire greater participation and
engagement in arts and culture.
Culture Days showcases free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to
the behind-the- scenes world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators and
designers in their home community.
Culture Days represents the largest-ever voluntary collective public participation
campaign undertaken by the arts and cultural sector in Canada.
Over 12 million Canadians have participated in 45,000 Culture Days activities hosted
by tens of thousands Canadian artists, cultural organizations and groups in some 900
different Canadian cities and towns since 2010.
Culture Days aims to foster appreciation and support of the artistic and cultural life
that is lived, created and expressed across the country in urban centers and rural
communities alike.
Promotes direct interaction between creators and the public as a key to increasing
understanding and appreciation for art and culture.
Affirms that every citizen, regardless of age, geography, background, or income is
the guardian of the cultural life of his or her community.
As a leading national voice for the active daily and engaged cultural life of all
Canadians, Culture Days provides support, tools and resources to artists and cultural
organizations to help them unite the country through engagement in culture.
As a result of participating in Culture Days activities, Canadians stated* they:
attended more arts and cultural events (61%), visited more art galleries or craft
studios (41%), became a fan of an artist or cultural organization (37%), took on more
volunteer work, (25%), took classes related to an arts or cultural activity (24%), took
up an art form of some kind (21%), and donated more to arts or cultural organizations
(17%).
Journées de la culture event inspired the initiation of Culture Days,
and Alberta Arts Days, established in 2008 (and now known as Alberta Culture
Days), helped to spur on a national movement. Both provincial events take place
concurrently with Culture Days.

How it works:
There is an open call for all individual artists, groups, municipalities and arts and
cultural organizations of all types and disciplines to offer free participatory and
interactive arts and cultural activities during Culture Days. Everyone is encouraged
to participate: whether you are a professional or amateur cultural creator (i.e. artist,
artisan, educator, animator, historian, curator, architect, designer, etc.), group,
venue or organization, including culturally diverse, Aboriginal, urban and rural
communities, there is a role to play!
Anything is possible during Culture Days any activity or offering that brings creators
and the public closer together. Examples of activities include a museum opening its
restoration workshop to the public, a local theatre group inviting visitors to a dress
rehearsal, an architect and a historian organizing a guided tour of a neighbourhood,
or choreographers offering a dance class.
Once registered with Culture Days, participating individuals, groups, and
organizations receive support and materials in areas such as marketing and
promotion, PR, media relations, collaboration, and digital and social media best
practices to assist with encouraging and increasing local public participation
!
Culture Days offers best practice and knowledge-sharing support to Canadian artists
and cultural organizations throughout the year with comprehensive programs
including a National Congress on Culture hosted in a different Canadian cultural hub
each year, livestream seminars, webinar tutorials and a host of other on-line tools
and resources

full review of their costs for 10 years.
In the current application, the gas utilities haveproposed arate setting framework

escalate rates annually based on anindex driven by inflation without
reductionsto account forproductivity or for a stretch factor
allow the continued recovery of certain routine, pass through costs such as
gas commodity, upstream transportation and cap and trade costs
allow the recovery of certain non-routine costs provided they are outside of the

ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD NOTICE
TO CUSTOMERS OF ENBRIDGE GAS DISTRIBUTION INC.
UNION GAS LIMITED AND EPCOR NATURAL GAS LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., Union Gas Limited and EPCOR Natural
Gas Limited Partnership have each applied for approval to recover the
costs associated with their 2018 cap and trade compliance plans.
Learn more. Have your say.
Under greenhouse gas emissions regulation each of
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., Union Gas Limited and EPCOR Natural Gas Limited
Partnership are required to develop plans to meet their cap and trade compliance
obligations. Each of the natural gas utilities have applied for approval to recover the
costs associated with their 2018 cap and trade compliance plans. If approved, the
costs of the proposed plans would raise natural gas rates by $0.40 to $0.50 on
average per month starting January 1, 2018 for residential customers. The exact
amount of the increase will depend on the amount of gas you use and on your gas
utility. Other customers, including businesses, may also be affected.
The Ontario Energy Board will assess the cost-effectiveness of each of the cap and
trade compliance plans filed by the natural gas utilities to determine whether the
gas utilities can recover those costs in the rates they charge customers.
Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. and Union Gas Limited have also asked for approval
of a jointly developed procurement and funding model to introduce renewable
natural gas into the Ontario market.
THE ONTARIO ENERGY BOARD WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) will hold a combined public hearing to consider the requests made by
each of Enbridge Gas, Union Gas and EPCOR Natural Gas. We will question each of the gas utilities on
their cap and trade compliance plans and on each of their cases for a rate change to implement those plans.
We will review the proposals of Enbridge Gas and Union Gas in relation to the renewable natural gas
procurement and funding model. We will also hear questions and arguments from individual customers and
from groups that represent customers of Enbridge Gas, Union Gas and EPCOR Natural Gas. The OEB will
assess whether the compliance plans are cost-effective to determine whether the recovery of the cap and
trade costs from customers is reasonable, and will determine whether to approve the renewable natural gas
procurement and funding model.
The OEB is an independent and impartial public agency. We make decisions that serve the public interest.
Our goal is to promote a financially viable and efficient energy sector that provides you with reliable energy
services at a reasonable cost.

a public-
private relationship to achieve maximum benefits in the Lake Simcoe watershed. He noted that intense
growth and development pressures are common around the world and can often result in conflict
between approval agencies and developers. This conflict does little in achieving climate change resiliency
goals, sustainable water management and much more and can result in minimal outcomes and increased
community conflict.
He went on to note that the Lake Simcoe watershed is and will continue to be one of the most significant
growth areas in Canada. LSRCA, charged with protecting and restoring the health of Lake Simcoe and
acting as an environmental extension of municipal government, has adopted an approach to change the
LSRCA has been fortunate to partner with a willing and significant developer, Geranium Corporation, who
also realizes the traditional approach does not work. Together, LSRCA and Geranium have changed the
relationship to focus on mutual outcomes that surpass all traditional approaches. Mr. Baldwin introduced
Geranium representatives, Cheryl Shindruk, Executive Vice President, and Shauna Dudding, Senior Vice
President, who he has had the pleasure of working with on a number of developments, including Friday
Harbour in Innisfil.
Friday Harbour is a 600-acre, 2,000 unit, marina-based village that includes an 18 hole champion golf
course, a 200-acre nature preserve, a 7.5km trail system and a multi-activity beach area. With its
environmental significance, this development had a very engaged community of members both for and
strongly opposed to it. Leaders of both LSRCA and Geranium embraced an approach based on science,
collaboration, and innovation, which has achieved a positive outcome, socially, environmentally, and
politically. This presentation can be viewed by following this link: Public-Private Relationship

4. Ghost Canal Wetland Project RFT #CL-2017-GCWP-001
Mr. Dolan wondered if there was an explanation for the wide range of prices quoted on the Ghost Canal
Wetland Project. General Manager, Conservation Lands, Brian Kemp, noted that the higher bidders
seemed to be charging much more for tree planting and removal of soil from site, etc.
Mr. Dolan asked how confident staff is that choosing the lower bidder will not result in change orders that
will drive the cost up. GM Kemp advised that the bidder being recommended has completed wetland
projects for LSRCA in the past, has years of experience in golf courses, had completed the fish habitat at
Friday Harbour, as well as many restoration projects in East Gwillimbury. He also noted that LSRCA has a
relationship with this contractor and is confident in the open and honest dialogue that took place during
the bidding process.

HIGHLIGHTS 2016
The County of Simcoe Library Co-operative had a busy and productive year in 2016. The Midland Public
Library joined the Symphony Consortium; the Co-operative received a $194,795 grant from the Ministry of
Tourism, Culture and Sport to launch the Simcoe County Libraries Immigrant Hub Project; and the County
Library and its members collaborat
campaign.
The Library Co-operative, in concert with member libraries, received funding for a two-year
project to establish libraries as community hubs for immigrants to Simcoe County. The Simcoe
County Libraries Immigrant Hub Project (see page 8) is intended to
to government and local information, provide multilingual resources for immigrants and their
families, provide a welcoming environment where immigrants feel they belong and improve
newcomer integration and retention outcomes.
The Co-operative, collaborated with the Local Immigration Part
This was a public awareness initiative aimed at increasing awareness of the
various cultures within the County. The campaign included the use of free-standing trees and
leaves which asked questions about the participant`s ethno-cultural heritage, length of time in
Canada, other countries of residence, and what they liked best about Simcoe County. The
th
campaign ran in ten libraries from May 16 to June 12. During this period, library patrons were
encouraged to participate by answering the questions on the leaves, and placing them on the
diversity tree. The leaves were available in both official languages and patrons with low-levels of
English or French were encouraged to fill out the leaves in their mother tongue. Completed trees
were displayed by the County in the atrium of the Administration Centre.
The Midland Public Library joined the Symphony Consortium in February 2016. Previously,
Midland had been using a stand-alone integrated library system from another vendor. The
Midland Library Board made the decision to migrate to the SirsiDynix Symphony platform and
requested that the Co-operative administer the software. Midland became the twelfth library to
join the consortium.
The County Library greatly expanded its collection of Playaway Launchpads in 2016. The
Launchpad is a secure, pre-loaded tablet, with thousands of high-quality, learning apps, games
and educational programs. Originally created for children, in 2016 Playaway expanded into the
teen and adult market with the introduction of language learning, life skills, and adult-focused
math games. There are up to ten apps on each device. The devices are circulated to members as
part of the regular block rotations.
The Library Co-operative continues to fulfill its stated mandate to supplement and enhance the library
services provided by its members to the residents of Simcoe County. As always, credit for its success is
shared by a variety of groups and individuals. Special thanks go to Simcoe County Council for their
County Library for their dedication and hard work.

COUNTY OF SIMCOE LIBRARY CO-OPERATIVE OVERVIEW
GOVERANCE
The County of Simcoe Library Co-operative is a unique organization in the Province of Ontario. It is the
only public library co-operative in the province and its statutory obligations are set forth in the Public
Libraries Act. The Co-operative is funded and operated by County of Simcoe, although the Library also
receives a modest annual operating grant from the Ontario Ministry of Culture.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership in the Co-operative is restricted to public library boards in the County of Simcoe, with the
exception of the separated cities of Barrie and Orillia. All municipalities in the County contribute to the
support of the County Library Co-operative through the general County levy; therefore, all
municipal public libraries in Simcoe County are eligible to use the services of the Co-operative. Currently,
there are fourteen separate library boards comprising twenty-nine libraries and branches in Simcoe
County. Participation in any program or service of the Co-operative is strictly voluntary.
SERVICES

books, DVDs, Blu-ray DVDs, read-alongs, music compact disks, books on compact disks, books on MP3,
Playaway audio books, Playaway Bookpacks, Playaway Launchpads, Playaway Views, video games and
multilingual material. These materials are assembled into two or three different sizes of blocks for each
material type. Blocks are rotated between two and four times a year, depending on the requirements of
individual libraries. The blocks are delivered to and retrieved from member libraries via the library van.
Electronic Online Databases
The County Library purchases annual subscriptions to a variety of commercial online databases that can
be accessed by via the Internet. Free access to these databases is provided to the library patrons of all
member libraries. The databases cover a wide spectrum of subject areas from current events to history,

SIMCOE COUNTY LIBRARIES IMMIGRANT HUB PROJECT
The Simcoe County Library Co-operative applied for and received a two year grant from the
Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport to enhance the role of the public libraries in Simcoe County
as community hubs for immigrants. The Simcoe County Libraries Immigrant Hub Project is focused
on creating cultural, educational, social, and economic opportunities for immigrants across the
County. The Co-operative is collaborating with member libraries and the Local Immigration
Partnership in this project.
In 2015, the Library Co-operative partnered with the Local Immigration Partnership, two settlement
service providers, and four public libraries to implement a pilot project the Library Link Project -
that explored the opportunity of using libraries as a community connection for immigrants residing
in rural and remote communities in Simcoe County. The Simcoe County Libraries Immigrant Hub
Project builds on the success of the pilot project. This endeavour expands the involvement of
libraries from the initial four participants to all the members of the Co-operative. The project is
designed to provide local spaces where immigrants can receive community information and
referrals; provide a welcoming environment where immigrants feel they belong; increase immigrant
traffic to libraries for the
increase the availability and circulation of multilingual resources in rural libraries; and increase the
competencies of existing library staff.
In the spring of 2016, the Library Co-operative set up a Steering Committee to oversee the project,
and recruited and hired a Project Coordinator to manage the project. A detailed work plan was
developed and key milestones established.
Amanda Kelly, Project Coordinator for the Libraries Immigrant Hub Project, commenced work in
May. She started the project by reviewing the original grant submission and supporting
documentation from the Local Immigration Partnership. She created a detailed timeline which
incorporated appropriate risk management practices, and drafted an outline of strategic priorities.
In June, she presented both documents to the Project Steering Committee. Once the project plan
was approved, the Project Coordinator conducted debrief sessions with all libraries from the
Library Link pilot program. She then leveraged this information to develop the all-staff pre-training
survey, introductory training sessions, and customized goals for each participating library.
In July, the Project Coordinator completed train-the-trainer sessions with Rosemary Holt from the
Local Immigration Partnership, and prepared to deliver Cultural Competency training sessions at
all participating libraries. Pre-training evaluations were designed in collaboration with the County's
Research Analyst team.
The Project Coordinator's next steps were to host specialized training for designated staff from
member libraries. Each library selected one or more staff to receive four days of in- depth training.
These Multicultural Library Liaisons, were tasked with championing the project in their respective
libraries and sharing their knowledge with their colleagues. Training for the first cohort of Liaisons
was held at the County Administration Centre in August. The Project Coordinator collaborated with
the Local Immigration Partnership to co-organize and co-chair the training. Nine (9)
representatives from six (6) libraries attended the four day workshops. All attendees completed
8

pre- and post- surveys. A preliminary analysis showed that 100% of participants reported
increased knowledge of immigration issues. A second round of training was undertaken in
September. Fourteen (14) people attended the session, resulting in a total of twenty-three (23)
trained Liaisons across the fifteen (15) participating library systems. Pre- and post-training surveys
were completed, and results tabulated. As part of the training, Liaisons set goals and drafted
unique action plans for each of their libraries.
Once the training was completed, the Project Coordinator met with the Multicultural Liaisons
individually to finalize their personalized action plans and establish goals for 2017. Overarching
themes from these project plans were identified and formed the basis for seven (7) inter-library
Liaison working groups. These are: staff skills, awareness, collections, programs, community
connections, promotions and marketing, and policy and planning. A no-cost intranet solution,
Bitrix24, was chosen to facilitate county-wide collaboration for these working groups.
Staff training and engagement were top priorities for the Libraries Immigrant Hub Project in the fall.
All-staff training in cultural sensitivity launched in October and feedback was very positive. The
Project Coordinator led twelve (12) sessions at eight (8) libraries. Participants completed pre and
post-training surveys on-site, Results indicate that staff participants believe multicultural
awareness, knowledge, and skills are relevant to their work. Pre- and post-surveys showed an
increase in understanding of challenges that immigrants face, and increased agreement to use
methods and strategies to bridge cultural differences. A total of one hundred forty-one (141) library
staff were trained over a three month period.
began
forging initial partnerships with organizations who are supporting programming and marketing
initiatives. The Library Co-hief Librarian and the Project Coordinator also began
engaging the community with the project participating in local celebrations like the Newcomer
Celebration.
The development of a multilingual collection is one of the stated objectives of the project. The
Library Co-operative first began to develop a multilingual collection in 2015 with funding obtained
under the Library Link project. Material in four different languages was purchased Chinese,
Spanish, Tagalog and Punjabi. A variety of resources were acquired, including interactive
educational tablets, DVDs, e-books, and adult and juvenile fiction and non-fiction books. In 2016,
the collection was expanded to include Vietnamese, Mandarin, Dutch, and Arabic. Over 1600 titles
had been acquired by the end of the year. The material is available for loan to patrons though all of
the libraries in the County.
In December, an Interim Report on the project was submitted to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture
and Sport. The report outlined the milestones that had been reached, the outcomes that had been
achieved, and the activities that had taken place. It also included a financial report detailing
expenditures to date. The report is the basis for determining whether or not the project will be
funded in 2017. The Ministry indicated that a decision would be made early in the new year.
The Simcoe County Libraries Immigrant Hub Project has been very successful to date. It is
anticipated that the project will continue in 2017 and achieve its ultimate goal of positioning the
public libraries in the County as welcoming places for immigrants to Simcoe County.

Subject: Concerns regarding Cornerstone Standards Council (CSC) Responsible Aggregate Standard and
Certification System
Background
Gravel Watch Ontario acts in the interests of residents and communities to protect the natural
environment, health, safety and quality of life for Ontarians in matters relating to aggregate resources. We
are a province-wide coalition of citizens’ groups and individuals.
Aggregate (sand, stone & gravel) production has a long history of being controversial and challenging for
municipalities. Ontario requires aggregate materials to support our built communities. Unfortunately, the
process of extracting aggregate resources comes with inherent social and environmental impacts.
Many stakeholders, including the aggregate industry, governments, community and environmental groups
have been seeking a way to deal with this challenge. The development of a voluntary enhanced aggregate
standard was proposed. The envisioned standard would outline a set of requirements that aggregate
producers could adopt and then be recognized for. After several years of work, the Cornerstone Standards
Council Responsible Aggregate Standard and Certification System, the CSC program, was drafted.
Members of Gravel Watch Ontario served on the Cornerstone Standards Council Board and the founding
Standard Development Panel for over two years. We have substantial knowledge of the Standard as written
as well as the original intent. Gravel Watch Ontario is contacting municipal leaders across Ontario to ensure
they are informed regarding serious concerns with claims made by the CSC program which are not
supported by the Standard requirements. Indeed, the claims made in relation to the program outcomes
appear at times to grossly misrepresent what the Standard requires.
CSC Does Not “Raise the Bar”
For example, the program claims that it “recognizes and rewards both public and privately owned
aggregate operations that go beyond regulatory compliance and adopt industry best practices” and that it
“ensures high levels of operational practice are met and monitored”. Unfortunately, the Standard does not
contain specific targets or requirements on some of the most relevant operational issues for aggregate
production sites. For example, there are no operational targets set for noise, dust, vibration, ambient light,
and water consumption, among other areas.
The Standard when addressing noise, dust, light and water has the following requirements:
“When addressing adverse environmental impacts … the applicant implements (consistent with the scale
and intensity of the operation) an Environmental Management System or a series of Standard Operating
Procedures that are consistent with or exceed existing regulatory requirement”. The Standard has no
mandate to exceed regulatory requirements; being consistent is sufficient.
There is no reference in the Standard to adopting industry best practices and no reference to current
industry norms. Certified sites may actually be performing below established industry benchmarks. Without

explicit requirements on the most relevant social and environmental aspects of aggregate production, the
program cannot be delivering on the claims made above.
Further, a review of the audit reports relating to the four program certificates granted thus far, reveals that
one or two CSC auditors spend a very limited time on an aggregate site; typically, only a day or two. The
reports provide no indications that the auditors have taken any independent measurements of the
environmental factors that the Standard claims to assure.
The environmental audit process seems to have become a paper exercise of reviewing reports, some of
which appear to have been prepared during the application and licencing process as predictors of future
outcomes and commitments for future actions. The degree to which these predictions actually became
reality is unknown. Without actual measurements being taken or observations beyond a brief 48-hour
interval, there can be no claims made as to how these sites generally operate. The current auditing process
in no way supports the claims by CSC regarding full regulatory compliance, industry best practices and the
monitoring of high levels of operational practice.
CSC “Lowers the Bar”
For any certification program to be legitimate, the requirements of the program must be met before
certification is awarded. A review of the audit reports relating to the certificates already granted shows that
none of the four sites certified have met all the requirements of the Standard. Even when non-
conformances were in areas that CSC claims as a focus (e.g., addressing adverse environmental impacts),
those sites were still granted a certificate based on a requirement for future corrective action.
More concerning though were sites that had non-conformances relating to compliance with existing
regulatory requirements.Of the four sites certified by CSC thus far, two were found to have non-
conformances with site plan requirements. Further, one site was reported to be in non-compliance with
Ontario Regulation 127 which deals with Airborne Contaminant Discharge Monitoring and Reporting. If CSC
certified sites are in violation of regulatory requirements, how can the program claim that CSC “recognizes
and rewards… aggregate operations that go beyond regulatory compliance”?
Summary
Gravel Watch Ontario continues to believe there is value in a robust voluntary aggregates standard which
recognizes performance that goes beyond existing regulation. That is why we dedicated over two years to
the development of what we had hoped would be such a standard. To deliver on that promise, though, the
standard must set a high bar and enforcement must be rigorous, thorough, and absolute. The current CSC
Responsible Aggregate Standard and Certification System fails to deliver on those requirements and as a
result fails to justify the outcomes that are being claimed.
Gravel Watch Ontario is committed to ensuring that municipalities across Ontario, as consumers and/or
producers of aggregate resources, are informed regarding the Cornerstone Standards Council aggregate
program. We ask that you add your voice to calls to improve the program and make it what it was originally
intended to be. In its current form, it is a disservice to all those in Ontario who are working hard to address
the inherent challenges for those communities where aggregate extraction activities occur.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss our comments further, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Graham Flint
President, Gravel Watch Ontario
