Reason why this presentation is important to Council and to the municipality:
Vetta Nordic Spa will the first of the kind to Oro-Medonte (and Simcoe County). A Tourism Asset Mapping (TAMS) study was
done for the area and six opportunities were identified to improve tourism with one of which being Health & Wellness Resorts.
As noted in the research, “Scandinavian saunas continue to be popular among Canadian users. Given the Township of
Oro-Medonte reliance on outdoor recreation the addition of a Nordic-style spa would be an ideal complement to the Tourism
Attractions”.
Vetta brings jobs, tourism, tax revenue, and business opportunities to the area. We request relief on the site plan securities in
the most critical time in the business/project life. Details of the requested relief to be sent in a letter and presented to council.

3.6.1 Corporate and community GHG inventory status update
Discussion:
able to move this forward in terms of asset management, CDMs, etc. In summary, corporate
emissions are those that are under the direct operational or financial control of the local
government. For example, they can arise from municipal operations such as water treatment,
use of civic facilities, waste management and municipal fleets. Community emissions are
significantly greater than those resulting from municipal operations, and include a wider scope
of sources of energy use and GHG emissions within the jurisdictional area of a local government.
These include emissions generated by residents, industry, commercial bodies and institutions
such as schools and hospitals.

upcoming election. Suggested Glenn Murray as a key-note speaker. M. Lauder, SSEA open house
last year was well attended with key note speaker and individual presentations surrounding
climate change and have food! M. Levison, one of the topics that could be direct links to new
legislation, new information from Government, and how the PCP program directly benefits
municipalities in achieving these goals, and alleviates their workload. C. Root suggested to
discuss climate change on a broad scale rather than refer to provincial legislation, with an
upcoming October provincial election. Event should take place centrally between 7
municipalities, suggested Wyebridge Community Centre. As part of OTF Seed Grant, event must
take place by end of June. Discussed potential dates/times as per municipal schedules. SSS

FCM Staff Support Grants
- Deadline of 29-Jun-2018
- Application under development by SSS to support municipalities in meeting
Partners for Climate Protection membership requirements
- Discussion: Funding must go to a municipal staff person, not an NGO. Intention
was to have Tiny support an application/position with SSS, but at this time we
do not qualify unless Tiny hires an SSS staff. M. Lauder suggested that SSS
continues reports/newsletters/formal letter to Council/CAOs however, if there is
a specific application that SSS would like to make, SSS writes a formal letter to
CAOs with intention of applications, and next steps as well as CAOs
communicates with SSS if there are specific ways that SSS can support them.
Disconnect between the level of service that municipalities see versus what SSS
provides needs to be assessed in terms of moving forward. C. McLaughlin, with
more recent presentations SSS is explicitly stating what SSS provides to the
municipalities, and what is leveraged with contribution.

Chairperson Larry Farris (Georgian Bay Metis Council) from the Metis Nation of Ontario.
Recognizing that 21-Jun-2018 is National Indigenous Peoples Day, coinciding with the LCCAP
BBQ event, SSS will ensure that this day of recognition is appropriately addressed, opening with
a Land Acknowledgement Statement adapted from AMO. J. Contin commented re: Beausoleil
First Nation, election is occurring 23-Jun-2018. B. Armstrong approached by Cambrian
Environmental to collaborate on climate change planning within the communities of Beausoleil
First Nation, Georgian Bay Island, Rama and Curve Lake. First meeting was 6-Jun-2018, Kristin
Monague is leading climate change planning at Beausoleil First Nation. This has been identified
as a great opportunity for SSS to get involved. {͵ ğƌƒğ ƌĻŅƷ ƒĻĻƷźƓŭ ğƷ ЊЉʹЍЉğƒ

5.2 AMP Energy Meeting Overview
(p.37-39)
Discussion: SSS was approached by Kurt Robertson, Business Development Director at AMP.
Initial meeting between K. Robertson, T. Roxborough and V. Ervick took place on 25-May-2018
to learn about AMP and discuss potential to work together on projects. At this meeting, K.
Robertson suggested he speak to the municipal members that SSS works with re: the services
that AMP can provide, the cost savings, current vs. future energy consumption etc. However,
due to sensitive nature of their business model AMP has requested a mutual NDA agreement be
signed in order to proceed with further discussions. Requesting guidance from the SC, T.
Roxborough would like direction on how to move forward with NDA. A. Dubeau noted that this
venture could be beneficial as every municipality wants to reduce energy consumption and
sign the mutual NDA as it stands, with T. Roxborough suggesting that C. McLaughlin may sign on

between NSCFDC and SSS. D. Luker noted that if T. Roxborough were to sign the mutual NDA on
clarification of obligation once mutual NDA is signed, and requested a legal opinion of
interpretation of mutual NDA before going any further suggesting that IF the SC decides to
move forward with a signed mutual NDA, that a letter be included to AMP that clarifies SSS and
its SC members not be held responsible. /͵ wƚƚƷ ğƓķ /͵ aĭ\[ğǒŭŷƌźƓ ĻƓƷĻƩĻķ ƒĻĻƷźƓŭ ğƷ ЊЊʹЊЉğƒ.
With the addition of new SC members to the meeting, T. Roxborough and D. Luker provided an
update to C. McLaughlin re: the signing of the mutual NDA. C. McLaughlin asked the question of
who would be signing mutual NDA with 2 options presented 1) NSCFDC signs with SSS as a
project/employee of NSCFDC, or 2) SSS and the SC sign. Another option that was presented was
that SSS suggests AMP connect with each municipality individually if they wish to partner with
the public sector. After T. Roxborough requested additional comments from the SC members, A.
Dubeau recommended that SSS not proceed with the signing of the mutual NDA, until we
receive further information from K. Robertson and AMP. J. Contin added the issue of
that AMP is a for-
not-for-profit.
Action Items: T. Roxborough to include AMP presentation given to the Town of Parry Sound in
14-Jun-2018 draft minutes. SSS to follow up with K. Robertson of AMP, thanking him for the
information but at this time SSS and its municipal partners are not in the position to sign the
mutual NDA noting governing structure and the legalities surrounding joint municipal boards,
such as the Sustainability Committee.

5.3 Proposed SSEA and SSS Merger
Discussion: D. Luker received a letter from Executive Director of SSEA, J. Cayley noting a request
for representation on the SSEA/SSS merger committee. D. Luker suggested that the invitation to
the SSEA/SSS merger committee be extended beyond himself, recommending that T.
Roxborough be included in the conversation, as well as any other SC members that are
interested. With Item 5.3 being discussed prior to C. McLaughlin arriving to the meeting, T.
Roxborough commented that C. McLaughlin has expressed interest in participating in the
SSEA/SSS merger committee given the established partnership between SSS and NSCFDC. Noting
that NSCFDC is not a municipal member, T. Roxborough mentioned that this may need to be
addressed with SSEA. Further to that, B. Armstrong expressed in
at the table of the SSEA/SSS merger committee if they are open to non-municipal
representation. In terms of how the SSEA/SSS merger would like, A. Dubeau asked whether or
new location in Port McNicoll. B.
Coutanche questioned whether or not SSS and SSEA budgets would be combined or kept
separate considering the different work plans and projects of each. R. Stevens recommended

that budgets be reconsidered as of 1-Jan-2019, new year = new budget, one organization. T.
Roxborough noted that the intention is to move forward with budget requests for 2019, with D.
Luker suggesting that SSS proceeds business as usual until the SC recommends otherwise or
until the merger is official. J. Contin commented that there will be a lot of organization and
transition changes, as well as questions from municipalities re: the SSEA/SSS merger, which we
must be prepared to answer. Adding that these concerns should be identified in a business case.
T. Roxborough noted that there is an existing business case in place, however it will need to be
the merger is complete to provide municipalities with information re: defined roles, budget,
operational plan, name, etc. B. Coutanche commented that there will be confusion with the
name, with T. Roxborough noting that money was allocated in the OTF Grow Grant application
to rebrand. A. Dubeau requested permission to openly discuss the SSEA/SSS merger update with
Mayor Marshall, with the SC committee agreeing that it is safe to discuss the merger in its
Action Items: T. Roxborough to schedule meeting with J. Cayley and any other SSEA staff, C.
McLaughlin, D. Luker and S. Walma to discuss the SSEA/SSS merger committee and next steps.
SC members have been directed to provide any queries, comments, questions or concerns to T.
Roxborough to be asked at meeting. An update re: the above meeting will be provided at the
