'~:.fi~ March 26, 2002 Dear Mayor and council members, I am writing on behalf ofthe Sierra Club to urge you not to allow any more gravel pits on the Oro Moraine. In particular, we would like you to deny the application to re-zone 12th line from MR.2 to MR.1, to accommodate an aggregate extraction operation on both sides of 12th Line. It makes no environmental or financial sense to endanger the health and well-being of your community for a gravel pit that is not needed. The Oro Moraine filters about 32,400 million litres of water each year, enough to supply a city of 200,000 people. The proposed gravel pit would penetrate to a scant 1.5 meters above the existing water table, allowing pollution of the' groundwater on which your Township relies and necessitating expensive treatment to ensure that it is safe to drink. In addition, active gravel pits in your Township now operate at less than 25% of their permitted capacity, an astounding 10 million tons of gravel per year. There is absolutely no need for additional pits. Left intact, the Oro Moraine will provide you with a never-ending supply of fresh, clean drinking water for generations to come. For a long-term cost to the community, gravel c>;traction wi11 generate short-term profits to the operators and provide the raw materials tor needless highways and suburban sprawl development in the province. If you add up tile costs and benefits, the correct decision is obvious: you must not allow any more t:'ravel pits on your moraine. ;:~ '( " . .

We are entering the new year with a great deal of confidence and enthusiasm. Negotiations with First National Financial Corporation for a CMHC-guaranteed mortgage are in their final stages, This financing is augmented by loans from several 'friends of O'Brien House' , which along with our highly successful fundraising, are further evidence of the wonderful local support the project has received, The cpm ing year will be both pivotal and challenging. Construction will begin early in January, and we will open our doors to ten residents (at a manageable pace, two at a time) beginning in September. What this means for 2002, of course, is that there will be a maximum outlay of fund~ coupled with minimum income from residents, which won't begin until September. Oper~lt If1g costs will in fact start some weeks earlier, with the hiring of the house manager. We Ul\ hope that the Council of Oro-Medonte will continue to provide tangible support for O'Brlcn House and for the local initiative this project represents, by approving our request for a grar,' 1\: five thousand dollars within the Township's budget for 2002.",___ . :~~:;z:;:;;:;:;;'Z:.::--,~.::: :;:,-;-- :-':".:"~.:. ~'~~ ::;::-:..:~;:::-~ .-;:'~....7._ ',;- .,~.::-,,-~_ :~ " Sincerely, ( ~~C) i .:.--/.

'-.-./ ORO-MEDONTE IS PRIVILEGED TO HAVE A VERY TALENTED AND COMPETENT MUSIC DIRECTOR., NAMELY MARILYN GREGORY, LIVING IN HAWKESTONE. MARILYN BEGAN THE ORO-MEDONTE CHILDREN'S CHOIR IN 1995 WITH NINE YOUNG PEOPLE AND HAS PROVIDED THE ORGANIZATION AND LEADERSHIP NECESSARY TO EXPAND THE NUMBERS TO AS MANY AS THIRTY-FOUR CHILDREN. THIS PAST FALL, A YOUTH CHOIR WAS ALSO ESTABLISHED FOR YOUNG SINGERS TWELVE AND UP WITH 1vlEMBERSHIP BY AUDITION. THIS HAS CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE OLDER CHILDREN TO WORK ON MORE CHALLENGING REPERTOIRE AND TO DEVELOP MORE ADVANCED VOCAL AND CHORAL SKILLS. I'M SURE YOU WILL AGREE THAT THIS IS A WONDERFUL ACTIVITY TO HAVE A V AlLABLE IN OUR AREA. IN THE SAME WAY THAT OTHER CIDLDREN ENJOY INVOLVEMENT IN SPORTS, RECREATION, AND LEISURE THESE YOUNG PEOPLE DEVELOP NEW SKILLS, BUILD CONFIDENCE, AND LEARN MUCH ABOUT TEAMWORK, .DEDICA TION AND COMMITMENT THROUGH REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES. IT IS ALSO A WELL DOCUMENTED FACT THAT CHILDREN INVOL VED IN MUSIC PROGRAMS ALSO PERFORM BETTER IN SCHOOL. IN ADDITION, THE CHILDREN'S CHOIRS BRING CONSIDERABLE RECOGNITION TO THE TOWNSHIP. THE CHOIRS HAVE PERFORMED UNDER THE NAME OF ORO- f\1EDONTE AT SUCH VENUES AS THE KIWANIS FESTIVAL IN BOTH ORlLLIA AND BARRIE. THE FESTIVAL OF TREES IN BARHJE, THE SIMCOE COUNTY CHILDREN'S ClI ( ) I R FESTI V AL HELD AT THE ORILLIA OPERA HOUSE, JUBILEE 2000, THE l~TLRNATIONAL PLOUGHING MATCH, AND YES, EVEN THE ORO WORLD'S FAIR. TII!~ IS ADDITION TO THE MANY PERFORMANCES AT SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, AND. SPECIAL EVENTS. WE ARE ALL QUITE PROUD OF THE COMMENDABLE REPUTATION THEY HAVE ATTAINED. A T THIS TIME, HOWEVER., THE CHOIRS MUST UNDERGO SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IF THEY ARE TO SURVIVE AND GROW. IN THE UPCOMING YEARS, WE WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN PARTICIPATING IN CHORAL FESTIVALS WIDCH TAKE PLACE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, PLANNING CHOIR TOURS, AND HAVING ANNUAL WEEKEND REHEARSAL WORKSHOPS.

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND FUNDING IS REQUIRED AS THE COST OF MUSIC HAS RISEN, AND BOTH THE DIRECTOR AND ACCOMPANIST NEED TO BE REMUNERATED FOR THEIR SKILLS AND DEDICATION. EVEN SO, THE COST OF THIS TALENT IS VERY LOW. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE LONG-TERM EXISTENCE AND GROWTH OF THE CHOIRS, WE HA VE RECENTLY FORMED A VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ASSIST IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE ORO-MEDONTE CHILDREN'S AND YOUTH CHOIRS. AS A REGISTERED NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION. THE NEWLY FORMED BOARD, OF WHICH I AM ITS FIRST PRESIDENT, WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCREASING THE CHOIRS' VISIBILITY, EXPANDING ITS MEMBERSHIP, ARRANGING TOURS AND PERFORMANCES, AND FUND RAISING. WE HAVE ALREADY EXAMINED THE OPERATIONS OF SIMILAR CHOIRS IN OUR REGION AND HAVE DECIDED TO MODEL OUR'S AFTER THE COUCHICHING YOUTH SINGERS IN ORILLIA. TODAY, WE ARE HERE TO RESPECTFULLY REQUEST COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION OF PROVIDING THE ORO-MEDONTE CHILDREN'S CHOIR AND YOUTH CHOIR WITH A GRANT OF $1500.00 TOWARDS OUR OPERATING COSTS. WE HOPE COUNCIL WILL AGREE THAT THIS IS A WORTHY EXPENDITURE OF MONEY ON BEHALF OF THESE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE HAVE ATTACHED A PROPOSED BUDGET, AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION, TO OUR DEPUTATION IN SUPPORT OF THIS REQUEST. AS A SECOND POINT OF BUSINESS, WE WOULD LIKE TO FORMALLY ASK THIS COUNCIL FOR PERMISSION TO USE THE NAME OF "ORO-MEDONTE" IN OUR BUSINESS REGISTRATION.

Throughout history and in every culture, music has been written to capture expressions of the people in work, play, celebration, protest, spiritual pursuits, and simple entertainment. As a community choir we are able to select freely from this vast treasure trove of musical delights and hopefully also celebrate our human diversity. A quick history The children's choir was formed as a single group in the Fall of 1995 with 9 members. Since then it has grown to as many as 34 members. The choir has performed at a variety of venues -- from banquets to Ploughing Matches, from Kiwanis festivals to schools and churches. In 200 I the choir was divided into two groups, The Oro-Medonte Children's Choir and the Oro-Medonte Youth Choir. The Oro-Medonte Children's Choir This choir is open to any young person from the age of 8 and up. There is a strong emphasis placed on learning the basic skills of reading music, hearing pitch, developing the ability to sing harmonies, and learning good vocal and choral technique. Members are introduced to a variety of repertoire and will participate in a variety of Concerts. The Oro-Medonte Youth Choir In order to fully realize the developing singers' potential, a second choir was added. This choir will includes young people from the ages of 12-18 (by audition). The repertoire for this choir will be significantly more advanced and utilize greater vocal skins, readioe ability and choral technique. About the Director Marilyn Gregory was born and raised in Saskatchewan before attending Bethel College, Kansas to obtain her degree in Vocal Performance. In addition she received Iraining in classical and jazz piano and in drama. She tlught music and theatre in Leamington for two years and then worked in Musical Theatre in and around Toronto from 1988-1993. During the 1993 season in the Stratford Festival Theatre, Marilyn met her husband, Bob, and moved to Hawkestone. There she began teaching voice and piano, founded the Oro- Medonte Children's Choir and the Hawkestone Singers and has performed locally with jazz ensembles and community theatre groups. Who can join the Choirs? Anyone between the ages of8 to 18 can join the choirs. Marilyn Gregory believes everyone can sing and no one is restricted from participating provided they are enthusiastic about learning to sing in a choir and Serious about their part in rehearsals and perfonnances, The youth choir requires greater musical skills and therefore auditioning is required. To know what is expected in auditions, contlct Marilyn Gregory. What can you expect to learn? As a choir member you will learn to read music, to sing melody and hannony (two or three parts) and to sing a wide variety of music. Some of this music will be quite contemporary and some of it will be very old but all of it will give you something to enjoy and appreciate. Most importantly, we will learn some of the basics of good singing and how to help each other to be part of a choir that sings well together. It is very important that everyone brings out the best in each fellow choir member. About the Rehearsals Rehearsals take place in the Hawkestone Community Hall on Thursday evenings. The Children's Choir (ages 8 & up) begins at 6:30pm and finish at 7:30pm. The Youth Choir (12-18) will begin at 7:30 and finish at 9:00pm, , . About Performances The choir perfonns at six to eight venues per tenn. These usually take place during the final month of the. tenn. There is a concert held in conjunction with the Hawkestone Singers and special guests at the end of each tenn -- a Christmas Concert in December and a Cabaret in May. On these days we hold one concert at 2:00pm and one at 7:30pm. The OMCC has annually taken part in the Kiwanis Festivals in the area. As the choir develops, we look forward to the prospect of future choir tours and taking part in choral festivals held regularly across the country _.

When was your organization started and why? On January 1st 1989 the Ontario Provincial Police, in conjunction with the Oro Township Council, began a program of Community Policing in Oro Township. We now exist as the Oro-Medonte Community Policing Committee. Our purpose is to voice the concerns of the community and individuals, in respect to policing, to the O.P.P. and promote solutions. We work together with Road Watch, Block Parents and Neighbourhood Watch on an ongoing basis to help maintain a safe environment in our community. We have approximately 15 active members representing various segments of Oro-Medonte Township. These include coordinating captains of Neighbourhood Watch, administrators of the Road Watch and Block Parents in our community, an Oro-Medonte Councillor, and Community Policing officers representing the O.P.P. from the Barrie detachment, who is now responsible for policing Oro-Medonte Township. We meet the first Tuesday evening of every month from September to June at the Township offices. )-'t:!'" ".,' j~~ ~~ <,' -=-",. ;A.) )P .J,t 'lIj.>, """ G" ~ B2. What do you do in your community and for whom? Oro Fair: In the month of September we reserve a booth at "The Oro Fair", a large, well-attended event in Oro-Medonte. The Ontario Provincial Police and Road Watch also have their own booths in conjunction with ours. We promote our e:':istence and purpose in the community, encourage new members to jOin us and distribute material that reflects safety and policing issues. This can include a variety of topics including information about Neighbourhood Watch, Crime Stoppers, our "Lock It Or.Loose It". campaign, and Project Phonebusters. Fingerprinting In The Schools: This campaign is carried out yearly by members of the OMCPC and involves the fingerprinting of all children entering the school system for the first time in Oro-Medonte and those new to the schools not previously fingerprinted. The child's fingerprints are recorded in a booklet provided by our Committee, which also has space to place a picture of the child by the parent, along with other pertinent information. The booklet is retained by the parent and is then available if for any reason the child needs to be identified by the police. "Neighbourhood Hero" We recognize people in our community who have "gone the extra mile" to assist someone with a safety or policing occurrence. Last year we honoured two people, one a sixteen year old boy who called in and assisted police with an occurring break-in at his neighbour's house and a woman who assisted her neighbours when their house Page 3 was on fire. We held a ceremony that was attended by Council members, the O.P.P., the press and family members. We ~ prov~ded beverages and a decorated cake in their honour ~nd~jl~' certlficate was presented to them as a thank you for thelr\. ",I willingness to be a "good neighbour", which we are trying , . to promote in Oro-Medonte. We also canvassed local businesses to provide a gift of recognition. Ski-I-Dent at Horseshoe Valley Resort OMCPC sets up a table at HVR during their ski swap in the month of October. For the cost of a toonie we engraved skies, snowboards etc. with the drivers licence number of the owner to be used to trace stolen equipment. The profit is used to cover expenses during the year. One member arranged to have a large printed banner donated for this event and the O.P.P. were present to lend to our visibility. Neighbourhood Watch The concept of Neighbourhood Watch was established in Seattle, Washington in the early 1970's by concerned citizens united to become eyes and ears to assist their local Police Enforcement Agency. It has spread to many countries around the world. It has proven successful in reducing crime, catching offenders and uniting neighbours in a host of productive community actions. A "fan out" call system, originating with the Street Captain, is established to relay emergency messages quickly to as many neighbours as possible. The decision for a "fan out" rests with the O.P.P. and the Captains and would be initiated for such purposes as a miss:~c resident, a rabid animal in the area, criminal offence~s close by, repeated (patterned) break-ins, or a forest ::re. The main cost is for the metal signs that indicc.t, e: the road side that Neighbourhood Watch is active in a ;cc::cular area and sends a message of a united neighcc'-",: ~hood, The OMCPC likes to provide the initial sign as a 5::. ',.; C f support to those residents willing to set this orgaL. . t:cn up in their neighbourhood. The OMCPC provides guide. . :. S and ongoing support to these individuals. The O.P.~ ::;:ressed a desire to revitalize this programme this: end we will be encouraging all residents of Oro-:-:. :.:e to become involved. We do need funding to prov_ '~.ese siens. Road ',',ctch Committee Road ^e:ch was launched in Oro-Medonte in 1998 and is a progrc.~~e introduced to help reduce road fatalities in our area. k yearly news letter is produced and the high schools are kept updated with current written and video material. This committee also introduced a radar board in our Township. School Council Committees We are making an effort to keep this organization aware of our projects and our desire to be another source of information and support concerning the safety needs of our young people in Oro-Medonte. ~.. -cJO /' / I ""'1;," \..g n ~ d. 'l """1", ~y f Page 4 .~'" /1 ~\ ~~y Newspaper Updates We feature our Committee, its projects and safety tips in our local newspaper, The Simcoe North News, to encourage people to join our organization and to foster a feeling of caring for the safety of others. Our slogan is "Oro-Medonte Community Policing Committee-Forever Vigilant" pictured with a lighthouse. We have a committee member who announces our monthly meetings in the various media. Web Page We have an opportunity to create a with the Township of Oro-Medonte. be created over the next year. web page in conjunction This hopefully will B3.How do you reach out to those members of the community who are isolated or who have not traditionally been involved in the activities your organization offers? Through the newspaper and Township newsletters. Our meetings are announced on the radio. B4. What other groups do you work with? Road Watch and Block Parents. This year we intend to strengthen our liaison with the School Council Committee members. The Ontario Provincial Police are our mentors and partners in Community Policing. The Township of Oro- Medonte supports and encourages our endeavours. Some of our ffie~~ers belong to the Oro Lions Club. B5. : :. ::he last five years, what maj or challenges have you facec ;~d what have been some of your greatest achievements? Our 2~' c;::est challenge definitely has been attracting new memb" end finding members with the skills that we need to grow .~~ as accounting, media and fund raising. Most ~cr members are very busy with their lives and their spar. .~e is precious to them so we are interested in crec' : workable projects that are interesting, simple and not. ::me consuming but benefit the community and make ever in Oro-Medonte realize we are there for them trying to : 2 safer community. Shortly, Oro-Medonte will be expe: . :.c:ng a growth spurt and we would like to be prepared for' .C: by educating our members and our neighbours about the ; ~sible influx of crime and the need for continued safeg'_c. rds . Fund:~~ has also been a problem, limiting our projects, as we do not have members, again, with the free time to get involved with fcndraising to a great degree. One of our greatest achievements I have seen in a "personal committee" way is the ret.ention of our core group through thick and thin. I feel this speaks well of the dedication and depth of our members. Page 5 I feel the fingerprinting of our youths has been constant not only providing valuable records but also involving our committee members with the students in a positive manner.

Who will benefit and how? "Fingerprinting in the Schools" is another tool in the fight against abducted children, making parents more aware of their need to monitor their children's activities. It also creates a atmosphere of nurturing and responsibility from the community of Oro-Medonte (OMCPC) towards our young residents. The schools fully support this programme and the Ontario Provincial Police are in attendance during the fingerprinting to lend a hand. We wish to keep this programme viable every year through sufficient funding. "Neighbourhood Hero" has had a very positive response in our commt.::--.:" : y. Our goal is to create an "old-time" philosophy amo~ngst our residents and neighbours, one of caring and conce:~ ~or each other where. a helping hand is welcomed, not sec~ as an intrusion. We are hoping that, by setting an exa~ple, people will be willing to assist others in need of eme:gency help. This is always well publicised in our loca: ;:apers. "Neic:.:::-t.:rhood Watch" helps to unite neighbourhoods, keeps a ne:,. ~ ,', of communication going, and lets intruders know that ,.~ members of that community are keeping an eye on eacr. . :.e:: I S property. It has proven successful world-wide in d' : '2asing crime. "Ski -. <.'ent" deters criminals from picking up identifiable mercr.a::dise, makes the owners more aware of their respo~sibility to keep their equipment under lock and key, and a::ows the police to return recovered stolen merchandise to the correct owner.

For operating grants, the Trillium funding will allow us to reimburse volunteers for their expenses quickly (stationary and printing supplies), and allow for professional conclusion of our year-end statements. H2. How will you know if you are achieving these results? We will measure the success of such projects as "Neighbourhood Watch" and "Ski-I-Dent" by the amount of participants. "Fingerprinting in the Schools" has a proven track record. These projects could be reported on by our year-end June 2002. This evaluation work will be done by our OMCPC Executive staff.

Dear Council: I am submitting to you a list of costs that I incurred in order to get Oro-Medonte designated under-serviced, About a year ago, I was approached on my opinion about joining with Orillia to help them get their much needed designation as well. In principle, I agreed whole heartedly. My reservation was that all potential leads on all interested doctors might not be shared with us in Oro-Medonte, We feJt that each doctor should have the choice of either Orillia or Oro-Medonte, if we indeed joined forces, They should not have this choice made for them by Orillia, This was addressed and "iseIy noted by Mayor Beard and Jennifer Zieleniewski, I agreed to give up Oro-Medonte's designation, Unfortunately, Ori11ia has not kept up their end of the bargain! I have not had one communication from Dr. Muel1er from Soldier's Memorial Hospital, I believe he truly feels "no doctor wants to work in the country - they want to be close to the hospital" - this was a comment made by him at the meeting to have the underserviced designation transferred to his hospital. I behc\c he communicates this very wen to prospective medicai doctors. Since that arrangement, one year ago, I have been working with the Barrie Underserviced Task Force run by Dr. Bohon and Mr. Richard Kel1y out of Royal Victoria Hospital. Barrie should also shortly be designated underserviced. The Barrie area, was able to use Oro-Medonte's under- serviced designation to send a team of physicians to the recruitment tour this year, under Oro- Medonte's umbrel1a. The feel they have generated a lot ofinterest and have several names to follow up with. They have proceeded and addressed the problem of staffmg for a full time person (later team) to help bring doctors and other medical personnel to this area. They have approached all of the townships with a budget, shared based on population, of $200,000 a year to start. They recognize the need to spend time and money on recruitment. They also recognize that the need will get a lot worse before it gets better. ) . C; 'r' .4"irf~} ",' ',.,'..", '"'",", ~'.,'.',."

Report ADM 2002-18 To: Prepared By: Paul Gravelle Council Subject & File #:Exemption Department: Treasury Council from taxes - Royal Canadian Legion Branch 619 C.ofW. - XX - Date: April 4,2002 Motion # Date: Background: The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 619 located in Warminster has requested an exemption from the municipal portion of taxes pursuant to Section 207 Paragraph 62 of the Municipal Act R.S,O. 1990 as amended. Analysis: The said section states that a municipality may pass a by-law "for exempting from taxation, except for local improvement and school purposes, for a period not exceeding ten years, any premises actually used and occupied as a memorial home, clubhouse or athletic grounds by persons who served in the armed forces of Her majesty or Her Majesty's allies in any war". The exemption remains in the new Municipal Act which takes effect on January 1,2003 as Section 325. Taxes for 2001 for the property in question were as follows: Municipal purposes County purposes Education purposes Garbage collection charge $ 825.66 691.63 757.19 115,00 Total $2389.48 If an exemption was granted for 2002, the cost to the municipality would be $ 865,29 ( $825.66 plus 4.8% increase). This amount would be accounted for as a tax cancellation, The municipality's 2002 budget allocation for tax cancellations is $ 40,000, Tax cancellations totaling $ 9,901.66 have been [Ii i.... d" ' "./ ,,," gc I..""..,.. t-' ""-" W incurred to date, The granting of an exemption would therefore not be exceedingly onerous on the municipality, Although Section 207 allows an exemption for a period not exceeding ten years, we respectfully suggest that the exemption be for the balance of this term of Council and be reviewed at the commencement of each subsequent term of Council. When reviewing the exemption in the future, a key factor to be considered should be the number of members of the Branch who served in the armed forces in any war. Please note that the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 19 has provided a financial statement for some undisclosed date in 2001 for Council's perusal. Recommendation: 1, An exemption be granted for the years 2002 and 2003 from taxes for municipal purposes pursuant to Section 207 Paragraph 62 of the Municipal Act to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 619. 2, The Treasurer prepare the appropriate by-law to enact this exemption and that this by-law be brought forward for Council's consideration. 3.

As you aIe aware. there are two avenues which municipalities may use to provide property tax relid 10 legions. The first avenue is section 207, paragraph 62 of the Municipal Act which autht'fl1es upper-, single-. and lower-tier municipalities to provide exemptions from the municipal ponl()n of the property tax to "any premises actually used and occupied as a memorial home, clubrwuse or athletic grounds by persons who served in the armed forces of Her Majesty's allies in any \1, Jr" This is the provision which has historically been used by many municipaJities to provide ta~ r~l\d specifically to legions, Ur" '~ction 207. a municipality may only offer this exemption for a maximum of ten years and th". - ;1[IOn ponion of the property tax, is expressly exciuded in the legislation from being eligible fe; , ,rmrtion. As well, if a municipality is part of a two-tier structure, the municipality may only e" . 'he pOr1ion of the taxes which would be payable to that municipality. For example, a k. (.[1(:[ municipality can only provide an exemption for the lower-tier portion of the municipal ta.\ 1n order to be eligible for la;(,. relief for the municipal tax portion and the education portion of a legIOn's property tax, a municipality may decide to use the second avenue available to them, The second avenue, under section 442,1 of the Municipal Act, has been available to municipalities since 1998, This provision allows municipalities to provide property lax rebates to charities and "similar organizations", Under sub-section 442.1(4), upper-tier and single-tier municipalities dctennine which organizations constitute "similar organizations" and may, therefore, include legion properties among those properties which are eligible for a tn."<. rebate, ,..2 .'
