More often than not, rural communities are left grappling with how to respond to youth out-migration, an aging population, a smaller tax base to pay for government services and fewer educational, cultural and recreation opportunities when compared to larger urban areas. As a community of approximately 7,000 people, Bayham is one of the smallest municipalities in Elgin County. Though the municipality has many advantages inherent in its natural environment - the presence of a large waterfront destination, access and proximity to larger urban markets (St. Thomas, Tillsonburg, and London), and a fairly skilled workforce - competition for business investment with larger and better-serviced and resourced neighbours will rarely be in its favour. In preparing the Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan the Municipality needs to reflect an understanding of the opportunities for cooperation and regional collaboration on issues of economic development and be prepared to contribute to those efforts that will provide the greatest return and reward to the municipality. Presently, Bayham has access to a number of regional initiatives put in place by the South Central Ontario Region Economic Development Corporation, the Southwest Ontario Tourism Corporation, the Southwest Economic Alliance, and the Southwestern Ontario Marketing Alliance. Each of these organizations has the potential to support and transform the economic fortunes of the Municipality of Bayham. However, the County of Elgin can provide Bayham with the greatest support in terms of economic development assistance and programming. A strong relationship with the County’s economic development office is essential. Elgin County is better resourced, better positioned to market to investors, better able to support the needs of small businesses and better able to negotiate on behalf of its municipal partners for economic development funding from upper levels of government and necessary shifts in the province’s land use policy framework. Communicating regularly and effectively with Elgin can and should advance the implementation of economic development initiatives and opportunities for the Municipality. 1.2 Objective of the Plan The primary purpose of the Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan is to foster a business environment that supports the growth of the economy and enhances the lives of local residents. The Municipality of Bayham is determined to refocus and diversify its economic development initiatives to better position the community to meet emerging economic development opportunities, while at the same time tackling the larger issues that are impacting its economic growth. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 30 of 274 2 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan 2 Planning Process 2.1 Situational Analysis The strategy development process began with a review of relevant background documents to establish the policy and planning context in which to create and implement the recommended economic opportunities. The process included a review of key documents such as the Municipality’s Official Plan, Strategic Plan, and Cultural Plan and Port Burwell’s Waterfront Master Plan. In addition key documents and programs, which had a direct impact on the municipality’s future economic development initiatives, from Elgin County, South Central Ontario Region Economic Development Corporation, and the Southwest Ontario Tourism Corporation were reviewed. Elgin County Economic Development Plan 2011-2014’s Impact on Bayham Since the adoption of the 2011 Economic Development Plan, Elgin County’s economic development department has focused their efforts on the actions that support the four goals of building social capital, enhancing the built environment, develop talent and our entrepreneurs; and telling the County story to a bigger and broader audience. From Bayham’s perspective this has included promoting local food awareness and assisting local farmers and agricultural operations by increasing their connections to local restaurants and organizations. The County has also supported Southwest Economic Alliance’s food cluster initiative that has further improved the agricultural network within the area and connecting Bayham farmers with regional food processors. Enhancing the built environment was also a high priority for the County. The built environment shapes how residents and community members interact with each other and impacts networks, business development and industry attraction. In Bayham’s case, the County has placed considerable emphasis on the importance of having an inventory of available commercial and industrial properties. Local municipalities were encouraged to assist in maintaining the inventory by providing updates on any available land within its borders. The County has signalled that it intends to maintain dialogue with local municipalities and private land owners in strategic employment areas – offering assistance on market information. The County has also completed an Employment Land Strategy that gave consideration to the demand for and availability of local employment land and the competitive position of the region relative to the surrounding markets. Currently, the County is undertaking the preparation of a regional Community Improvement Plan as a way to provide for the sustainability of local municipal commercial areas, the revitalization of the region’s downtowns, and in the attraction of new business investment. Recent economic figures have shown that entrepreneurship levels have increased greatly across the County and in Bayham. These figures are a testament to the County and its local municipalities’ resilience during the recent economic downturn. In this regard, the County is working to strengthen linkages with nearby research institutions around key sector research opportunities. Partnering with the University of Guelph and University of Western Ontario, the 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 31 of 274 3 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan County has assisted in developing agricultural apprenticeship and research placements with local farmers to enhance seed and crop research across the region. This led to the completion of an agricultural inventory in partnership with the Elgin Federation of Agriculture and a Business Retention and Expansion report on Agri-business, Tourism and Energy. The County has also supported the expansion of the Elgin Business Resource Centre by funding satellite offices in Dutton and Aylmer. The presence of a satellite office in Aylmer provides a range of services and support for local businesses and entrepreneurs that should be more effectively leveraged. Lastly, the County has introduced several new storytelling experiences to its marketing arsenal. Ports of Elgin provide tourists a glimpse into Port Burwell’s activities and atmosphere, while county-wide trails such as Savour Elgin and Arts Trail provide an avenue for Bayham artisans and restaurants to put themselves on the map. Efforts are also underway to create a regional trail network that would include areas of Bayham and further support local tourism efforts. The Economic Picture The Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan has also been informed by a comprehensive analysis of the local and broader regional economy – Figure 1 illustrates the location context for this analysis. Consideration has been given to current and emerging socio- economic, business and industry sector trends. FIGURE 1: MAP OF BAYHAM, ELGIN COUNTY AND NEIGHBOURING MUNICIPALITIES Source: OMAFRA EMSI Analyst, Dataset Version 2014.1 Over the past decade (2001-2011), Bayham’s population has exhibited an annual growth rate of approximately 1%. From 2006 to 2011, Bayham added over 200 new residents to a total of approximately 7,000 residents. Elgin followed a similar trend adding over 2,000 new residents to the county. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 32 of 274 4 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Age characteristics across the community suggest that Bayham’s population is quite diverse. Currently, one-third of the total population in Bayham are under 20 years of age. Population declined within the older working age groups predominantly between 30-49 years of age. Interestingly, Bayham has seen a large increase in retirees within the community. Due to the recessionary pressures that developed around 2008, Bayham’s workforce and in particular Elgin’s workforce has not performed well in recent years. Despite a low unemployment rate (comparatively to Elgin and Ontario), Bayham saw their total labour force decrease by 140 people from 2006 to 2011. The highest rates of employment in Bayham occur in Manufacturing, Agriculture, Transportation and Construction sectors. It must be noted however, that many of the businesses are located in Tillsonburg. Despite its decrease in workforce, Bayham witnessed a healthy increase in new businesses from 2008 to 2013, many of which were found within their most employed sectors. Overall between 2008 and 2013, the municipality added a total of 349 firms (comprised of 246 self-employed businesses and 103 employers with a regular payroll). The majority of these new businesses were found in the Agricultural sector. The Agriculture sector is comprised of small farming operations, as well as medium sized farms and new food processing operations. While Bayham has been successful at attracting home based businesses, this does not necessarily translate into an increasing level of prosperity. Bayham provides some of the best competitive tax rates across the county however, with a limited inventory of land available for both commercial/office and industrial purposes (in particular serviced industrial land outside of the northern corridor) it will be difficult for these home based businesses to expand their services/product offerings into a stand-alone operation or to attract larger scale business or industrial operations. Bayham continues to support the redevelopment of waterfront and urban cores’ business properties for the purpose of expanding business opportunities; however this is hampered by the lack of community infrastructure and incentives. This includes more effective downtown revitalization efforts, succession and business planning support and improvements to the permitting and regulatory approval process. A more detailed summary of the situational analysis can be found in Appendix A and B. 2.2 Stakeholder Consultation The opinions of local and regional community leaders help to ground the data and findings that underpin economic development efforts across the community. These stakeholders represented a wide range or organizations and interests, including regional tourism and economic development organizations, private businesses, and owners of agricultural and industrial lands. Stakeholders were asked questions designed to understand their impact on regional economic development, opportunities and priorities they see for the Municipality of Bayham, and barriers or challenges they face in working with, or operating from the Municipality. Overall, stakeholders describe the business climate in Bayham as sluggish, especially as it relates to the retail and industrial sectors. The economy overall is tied heavily towards the agriculture and tourism industries, both of which are seasonal. It should be noted that stakeholders see the business climate for agriculture as relatively good, reflective of the long 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 33 of 274 5 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan agricultural heritage for the area. However, as with many regions across the province agriculture is not driving employment growth. The results of the consultation process envision a future Bayham as a place where the community is ‘refreshed’ through deliberate investment and planning. This includes a focus on making the Municipality more physically attractive, with a priority on initiating the development of the waterfront and harbour of Port Burwell. Stakeholders see the future of Bayham in the long term viability of its tourism and agriculture sectors. Tourism development and promotion will assist in attracting more viable businesses to the community, while a healthy agricultural sector will foster the attraction of more valued added opportunities such as processing operations. Identified Opportunities Stakeholders identified three key opportunity areas for the Municipality of Bayham . Agricultural Development Elgin County’s mild climate and long growing season has enabled the region’s agricultural sector to evolve and adapt despite suffering the decline of the tobacco industry. In recent years the County has seen the rise of agri-tourism, winery and craft brewery investment, culinary tourism and small scale food processing operations. These activities provide Bayham with a base on which to further develop a viable and sustainable agricultural sector including the attraction of more agriculture service related businesses, additional processing operations and farmers markets. Currently, stakeholders suggest that agricultural processing in Bayham is focused on low value products that are shipped to the neighbouring markets, noting that there are opportunities to attract more food processors into the region if they diversified their farming output. The County of Elgin in partnership with other regional economic development organizations is active in trying to attract this form of investment. Tourism Development The municipality’s waterfront and the tourism and development opportunities associated with this asset were highlighted as one of community’s most important assets from the perspective of attracting new business investment. However, stakeholders also suggested that the waterfront looks dirty, beaches in Port Burwell require a better standard of maintenance, and the vacant commercial proprieties in both Straffordville and Port Burwell contribute to an appearance of a community in decline. There was recognition that there are a number of tourism assets that could be more effectively leveraged including municipal beaches, a provincial park and campgrounds, existing trails and the Ojibwa submarine attraction. It is important to continue supporting these attractions as venues to enhance the visitor experience. This includes improving access to the waterfront, developing more tourism products and experiences in conjunction with the County and SWOTC, and encouraging more retail business investment in the Port Burwell’s commercial core. It was stressed that tourists do not spend their money on the beach, but rather in the businesses that support the beach experience. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 34 of 274 6 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Stakeholders suggest that the Municipality should focus on efforts to develop the public infrastructure along the waterfront. This includes improved access to the waterfront including a public boat launch, opportunities for an expanded marina operation and more effective incentives for local business to improve the appearance of the commercial core. This would include an evaluation of the Municipality’s façade improvement programs given the success communities such as Sparta and Port Stanley have had in attracting destination/niche retailers that draw visitors to the Municipality year round. Industrial Lands Development Stakeholders noted that Bayham has the potential to provide space for dry industrial land uses, albeit there has been little demand for this type of activity in recent years. It was suggested that the primary focus for industrial land development should be along the northern corridor of the municipality (Highway 3) – as it provides the best access to regional transportation infrastructure and serviced land. With limited industrial land opportunities available, Bayham is encouraged by stakeholders to look at the re-positioning/re-use of existing vacant properties and evaluate their land uses and/or purpose. To realize these opportunities, stakeholders also suggested that the Municipality needs to do a more effective job of marketing its existing business and the assets that are available in the area; Bayham also needs to develop and leverage the partnerships that will enable the community to capitalize on its economic development opportunities. This may require the municipality to look for partners beyond Elgin County to do this most successfully. Identified Challenges In addition to the perceived opportunities, a number of challenges with regards to the Bayham business climate were also discussed by stakeholders. Challenges noted include:  Difficulty retaining a working age population in the Municipality, as well as attracting new employers to the region.  Being ‘off the beaten track’; highlighting a greater need to have assets (or more effectively promoting existing assets) that attract people to the area. The Municipality is a relative unknown by comparison to surrounding municipalities and needs a better ‘brand’ or profile in the region. This could support efforts to attract business investment, new residents and visitors to the area.  Little assistance is provided to businesses in the Municipality (especially for industrial development). The perception is that the Municipality is not taking any initiative to attract businesses to Bayham. Existing businesses lack information on the government funding programs that are available to them limiting which is impacting business growth in the community.  There is a north-south divide that needs to be overcome. The Municipality needs to be seen to support more than just waterfront/harbour development. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 35 of 274 7 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Proximity to significant business infrastructure is not very good, which discourages larger industries to establish themselves in the area. A lack of serviced industrial land is a major detractor for many industries. The lack of vision or decision with regard to industrial development has also discouraged the attraction of large industry. It was suggested that the Municipality needs to be more active in the recruiting of new businesses by leading the process and collaborating with resource partners (County of Elgin) and other groups to promote a ‘business ready’ attitude.  A significant lack of tourism infrastructure in Bayham such as accommodations and outfitters.  The Municipality’s website was viewed as being an ineffective to in the attraction of business investment and ‘outdated’ when compared to neighbouring communities and county counterparts. Given the opportunities and challenges discussed by stakeholders, it was widely suggested that the Municipality needs to have a knowledgeable, single point of contact to guide/direct local business owners and support the advancement of economic development. The lack of a Business Development Officer for the Municipality was cited as a major concern. An annotated summary of the stakeholder consultation can be found in Appendix C. 2.3 SWOT Analysis The SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis that follows reflects on the analysis and insight that has been gathered and provides further indication of Bayham’s ability and capacity to support economic development initiatives and opportunities. Defining the SWOT For the purposes of this report a SWOT is characterized in the following terms:  Strengths (Positive, Internal): Positive attributes or assets currently present in Bayham, particular in comparison to Elgin County  Weaknesses (Negative, Internal): Local issues or characteristics that limit the current or future growth opportunities for the Municipality  Opportunities (Positive, Internal and External): Areas where the Municipality can remedy its weaknesses (e.g. learning from others, provincial / regional assistance, strategic initiatives, aggressive marketing or promotion, targeted investment, etc.)  Challenges (Negative, Internal and External): trends that threaten Bayham’s future and attractiveness to new residents and investment, from local weaknesses, global changes or shifts in consumer demand. The SWOT analysis also provides insight into the challenges and opportunities for Bayham with an emphasis on those factors impacting the economic development of the municipality. The following highlights the elements considered most relevant in the context of economic development: 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 36 of 274 8 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Strengths It is essential that the Economic Opportunities Plan build off and capitalize on the unique elements and strengths of Bayham in a way that will attract investment, residents and visitors to the municipality and lead to the expansion of economic activity. The following strengths are some of the key elements that can be leveraged in the development of economic development initiatives and the pursuit of economic development opportunities:  Bayham’s Resilient Agricultural Sector – Bayham’s policies have supported the continued growth of the agricultural sector across the community. Bayham has experienced the largest growth in Agricultural business development in Elgin County in recent years – adding over 100 new agricultural businesses since 2008, including five small-scale food manufacturing opportunities. Stakeholders noted that Bayham’s policies of encouraging the development and preservation of small farming operations has allowed for smaller local producers to remain competitive. The County and Municipality’s support of agricultural and agri-food initiatives will continue to contribute to the success of Bayham’s farmers and food operations.  Southwest Ontario Tourism Corporation and SCOR encourage the development of agri-tourism and local food efforts across Elgin – Elgin County has developed local food experience packages that profile the region’s agricultural products and agri-tourism activities. Bayham farmers have participated in these efforts and widely support the creation and promotion of agri-tourism activities as a priority in tourism development for Bayham.  A Strong Base of Self-Employed Businesses - Over 65% of business operations in Bayham are classified as self-employed or home-based businesses. The attraction of entrepreneurial activities is recognized as an important element of the economy development in rural communities. Self-employed businesses contribute to their local economies by paying taxes, purchasing goods and services, and creating jobs for others. Support for these start- ups and small business operations are essential. The County has been active in the completion of Business Retention and Expansion surveys which can inform the Municipality’s understanding of local needs. In addition, the Elgin Business Resource Centre provides support/workshops in the form of business planning and marketing, e-commerce, succession planning etc. Bayham should be actively promoting these activities as a way to foster a strong small business environment.  A Diversity of Natural Assets - Bayham has a significant inventory of natural assets and features including a publically accessible waterfront and beaches. Its largest natural asset is the Port Burwell Provincial Park. These assets attract around 100,000 visitors annually into the community. Bayham is well positioned to foster the further development of its waterfront and contribute to the creation of a four season destination. This will drive employment growth in related sectors, including food and accommodations.  A Diversity of Cultural Assets - The municipality also has a wide range of cultural assets such as the Marine Museum, Historic Lighthouse, Ojibwa Submarine, and the Edison Museum. In its first year of operation, the Ojibwa Submarine has attracted around 30,000 visitors. Discussions are underway to designate the Ojibwa Submarine as a national heritage site. To continue improving the tourist destination key stakeholders and business leaders have stressed the importance of establishing improved tourism experiences. Elgin County 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 37 of 274 9 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan has developed several promotional tourism products such as Savour Elgin and the Arts Trail and SWOTC together with Elgin is actively promoting the region’s port experiences.  Ports of Elgin Marketing Campaign - The Ports of Elgin campaign is a key lure attraction effort designed to increase shopping, use of accommodations, waterfront recreation, restaurants, festival and events, and surrounding area sight-seeing in Elgin County and by extension Port Burwell. The campaign was launched in 2011 and includes a website and brochure. The program is promoted through advertising, tradeshows and events and brochure distribution. Elgin-St. Thomas Tourism has also supported the marketing of Port Burwell in a variety of ways including the operation of tourism kiosks and funding support.  Bayham is attractive to retiring boomers – Bayham is in prime position to attract retiring ‘boomer’ generation residents based on its picturesque location, the availability of lifestyle amenities, and its proximity to activities, recreation and leisure clubs, and events across Elgin County. The situational analysis suggests there has been an influx in the retirement population across the community which can be attributed in part to retirees moving into the area. Weaknesses  Proximity to significant business infrastructure is not very good – The lack of serviced industrial land is a large detractor for investment attraction. The perceived indecision on the part of the Municipality as to their vision for industrial development has contributed to missed opportunities to attract larger industry operations. It was suggested that the Municipality assist in recruiting new businesses by leading the process and collaborate with resource partners and other groups to promote a ‘business ready’ attitude.  Seasonal Nature of Business Opportunities – Business opportunities in Bayham, particularly retail, is seen as being very seasonal. Summer is high traffic season, but with few events or activities to draw people to the waterfront or the commercial core during the winter months, businesses must thrive in the summer to survive for the rest of the year. This uncertainty makes it difficult for existing businesses to plan and may act as a deterrent for new investors leading to vacant properties along Bayham’s downtown cores.  Heritage Character Needs a Facelift – While Bayham’s historical charm contributes to its appeal and visitor experience, the upkeep of older buildings can be a challenge. It was observed that there are several heritage and historic properties along highway 19 (Port Burwell – Vienna – Straffordville) that have been neglected and in several instances appear vacant or abandoned. If the community is to be successful in the attraction of investment and investors, consideration must be given to the preservation and enhancement of the character of the community.  Limited Growth Potential if the ‘Status Quo’ Persists - Bayham is likely to continue to experience low population growth and limited expansion of its property tax base in the coming years unless significant steps are taken. Bayham should consider opportunities for further residential and commercial/industrial development, the use of available incentive tools 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 38 of 274 10 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan to support this activity and involvement in the programming and promotional efforts provided by regional partners.  Low Rates of Educational Attainment - Results of the last census suggest that Bayham had a smaller proportion of its population with a post-secondary education - university certificate; diploma or degree when compared to the province or the County. Given the rural nature of the community, this is not unexpected; however, the older age cohorts appear better educated than the younger age cohorts, which present a problem in the attraction and retention of businesses and business investment.  Lack of Economic Diversification – Agricultural and Manufacturing occupations dominate local employment opportunities in Bayham, which often equates to minimum wage positions, part-time or seasonal employment. The dominance of agricultural employment puts the local economy at some risk in an economic downturn and impacts buying power for larger consumer items, like cars and houses. Bayham has not been aggressive in attracting higher value employment that is well suited to fill in smaller vacant storefronts in particular technology based businesses. Efforts to develop broadband infrastructure across the county will facilitate the growth of these types of operations.  Lack of Retail and Recreational Amenities – While Port Burwell currently boasts a range of attractions for residents and visitors to the community; there is a lack of year retail amenities (i.e. groceries and recreation outfitting activities) that impact Port Burwell’s attractiveness to new residents and visitors. Stakeholders have identified the need for additional recreation and leisure amenities across Bayham that will provide visitors and residents with year-round activities – this includes more ice rinks in the winter, park spaces for spring and fall activities, soccer and baseball fields, as well as community venues that allow for local musicians and music concerts to take place (i.e. amphitheatre/music hall).  Minimum Marketing Effort - Although the municipality has taken advantage of some regional marketing initiatives a greater level of effort is required. The quality of marketing and promotional efforts for Bayham was a consistent theme that emerged through the stakeholder consultation. It was suggested that the community needs to develop more of a unique on-line presence in order to reach a broader audience. Greater participation in the product development and marketing efforts of the County and SWOTC is also needed particularly the Savour Elgin and the Arts Trail initiatives. Opportunities  Strengthen and Leverage Cultural and Natural Assets – Bayham’s cultural and tourism assets need to be enhanced if the Municipality is to attract new visitors, residents and business investment to the area. This includes improving public access to the waterfront, enhancing waterfront connections (improved or new marinas), waterfront activities and events, the effective marketing and promotion of the Port Burwell Provincial Park, and improving local signage of tours (savour/art/cycling etc.). Existing cultural and tourism operators need to be supported in their efforts to integrate new technologies (e-retail), to improve their online presence (marketing) and customer service experience. This could 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 39 of 274 11 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan include opportunities for web app development. Affordable roofed accommodation is also needed in the municipality to expand visitor attraction opportunities. More effective communication and collaboration between community organizations and the Municipality would also support Bayham’s tourism development.  Increase Support for Small Businesses - Much of the growth in rural areas across the Province depends on the efforts of small business. Bayham needs to be seen to support the growth of small sized enterprises through business retention and expansion efforts and better marketing and promotional activities. Support for businesses located in the downtown cores will help in the revitalization of the area as incentives/programs may reduce vacancies. The lack of uptake associated with the façade improvement program could be because of a lack of promotion and community outreach, but it could also be because businesses don’t have the confidence or the means to spend the matching funds required. Further discussion with local businesses is warranted.  Capitalize on Cultural Assets and Resources with a Place-based Approach to Tourism - A comprehensive cultural resource mapping exercise based on current provincial policy and mapping guidelines would further inform Bayham’s marketing and promotional efforts and support future community economic development services and programs. Mapping results could assist with the planning and development associated with festivals and events, tourism product development opportunities, and investment opportunities for both the municipality and the county. Rather than focusing on major attractions, place-based cultural tourism provides the visitor with an authentic and memorable experience through discoveries of the destination’s history and heritage, its stories, landscape, and culture. This is often a more effective and affordable approach to tourism investment for municipalities.  Improve the Public Realm along Waterfront - Municipal investment in the public realm along Port Burwell’s waterfront will enhance the overall experience of residents and visitors to the community and draw attention to the community on the part of business and investors. While the recommendations in the Master Plan are costly, there is an opportunity to take a phased approach that will create momentum and interest in the community. This can include boat launches, attractive picnic areas and venues for community events and festivals.  Build Stronger Partnerships and Communication with Local and Regional Organizations, Business Community, and Public – Bayham can strengthen its partnership opportunities by providing relevant community profile information to organizations such as Elgin County, SCOR, SWEA, SWOTC, and the Elgin Business Resource Centre. Bayham can work with the County and the Elgin Business Resource Centre to develop programming/initiatives that will support existing business and support the attraction of new business investment to the area. Lastly, Bayham should align its marketing efforts, (particularly its website presence) with the marketing and positioning efforts of Elgin County.  Enhance Municipal Website - Bayham needs a stronger municipal website presence – one that engages the user and conveys the ‘brand’ of the community. The site needs to target the needs of local residents but also an external audience that could be comprised of visitors to the area, local businesses and potential investors. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 40 of 274 12 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Leverage Interest in Local Food and Diversification of Agricultural Sector – The County’s agricultural sector continues to adapt new and interesting ways through the introduction agri-tourism, wineries, culinary tourism and aquaculture. This has created a strong base of expertise, thought leaders and new investment that will ensure a viable and sustainable sector into the future. Bayham needs to be actively encouraging the County to further develop and promote the investment that is occurring in this sector beyond those activities that relate primarily to tourism. Threats  Limited Financial Flexibility to Respond to Challenges – A limited assessment base and ongoing fiscal constraints will limit Bayham’s role in economic development whether that is the creation of serviced employment land, investment in Port Burwell’s waterfront or downtown revitalization efforts.  Industrial Lands - The lack of serviced industrial lands available for development is a significant impediment to the attraction of industrial development. However, the results of the County’s Industrial Land Strategy suggest a limited demand for additional land based on the current inventory. Careful consideration and understanding of market demand in Bayham in relation to both Tillsonburg and Aylmer will be needed before moving forward. This should include opportunities for a shared service agreement. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 41 of 274 13 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan 3 Strategic Priorities and Recommendations Without question, the Municipality of Bayham’s small businesses and agricultural economy has benefited from the strong regional economic development efforts that are underway. The County and the Elgin Business Resource Centre’s support for small business development and the continued research and regional initiatives around agricultural development (all types) should provide positive benefits for residents of Bayham in the form of employment and business growth. The Municipality’s efforts to advance economic sustainability though the implementation of its Municipal Strategic Plan and the development of the Port Burwell Master Plan also send a positive message to area businesses and investors. Bayham’s success however, is contingent on having the needed resources and leadership to move its economic agenda forward. Presently, the municipality does not have an economic development advisory committee or any dedicated staff to champion the needs and opportunities of the community. While the County is a strong partner, more assistance is required to address the long term growth and sustainability of the community. Bayham must look for regional assistance in promoting and capitalizing on the potential offered by Port Burwell – both in the attraction of visitors and residents and level available economic development and planning tools to foster local business development within Bayham’s commercial cores – Vienna and Straffordville. The discussion that follows summarizes the major themes and strategic priorities that have emerged from the strategic planning process. Marketing and investment attraction efforts must improve and dovetail with Elgin County and other regional initiatives There is a growing trend towards branding of a community’s economic development effort to more effectively market a jurisdiction to business, industry or future residents/employees. Bayham needs to more effectively engage and inform business and industry on local and regional economic development activities and programming, while at the same time profiling the current range of business and investment activity across the community. Bayham’s recent business patterns performance suggests there are some excellent local business stories to tell regarding self-employment and small business development. To do this effectively Bayham will need to work with the County of Elgin Economic Development Department and the South West Ontario Tourism Corporation in its marketing and promotional efforts. The County in particular is in the process of updating its current Marketing Strategy which should provide the Municipality with a strong platform to build from. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 42 of 274 14 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan It is not possible for one municipality, region, province or country to make a decision regarding its economic fate that does not impact (or get impacted by) the decisions of its neighbours. The degree to which communities can work together and leverage their economies of scale in the attraction of investment – either through formal organizations or informal mechanisms – increasingly determines the degree of their success. Recommendations 1. Maintain a comprehensive community profile that can be shared with the County of Elgin and used in conjunction with local economic development marketing and promotion 2. Explore the need for County participation in Southwestern Ontario Marketing Alliance’s marketing initiatives, particularly as it relates to the attraction of food processing operations. 3. Advocate for a county wide Agriculture/Agribusiness sector strategy that provides clear direction on matters related to the growth and sustainability of the agricultural economy in the County. The strategy should: 3.1. Assess the impact of the agriculture/agribusiness sector in Elgin County. 3.2. Identify and prioritize opportunities related to local food, value-added agriculture and supply chain development. 3.3. Build awareness of business and investment opportunities in specialized crops, value added food products and local food. 3.4. Support the active marketing and attraction of investment opportunities in this sector. 4. Support the efforts of the County of Elgin to develop and implement a Regional Community Improvement Plan, as a way to provide for the sustainability of Bayham’s commercial areas and in the attraction of new business investment particularly in the Agricultural sector. Update Bayham’s Official Plan policies to reflect the outcomes of the forthcoming study. Enhancements to Bayham’s quality of place experience are needed The need for focused attention on enhancing the quality of place, vibrancy and aesthetic appeal of Bayham is a key consideration in the attraction of residents, visitors and business investment. The Municipality needs to do more to foster and promote high quality development in key areas of the community that combines commercial, residential, and cultural development opportunities. As a municipality of 7,000, Bayham has a limited asset base in terms of clusters of employment or industrial activity with its two traditional commercial cores in Vienna and Straffordville; similarly there is a limited concentration of cultural activity aside from notable heritage sites such as the Ojibwa Submarine and Port Burwell’s waterfront and Provincial Park. As such, it is important that Bayham target placemaking efforts to enhance the community’s quality of place experience. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 43 of 274 15 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Successful placemaking brings partners from the public, private, non-profit, and community sectors together to strategically shape the physical and social character of a neighbourhood, core or municipality. Placemaking can be used to enhance a community’s quality of place by animating public and private spaces (e.g. public art, festivals and events programming, community gardens and local food initiatives such as farmers markets), rejuvenating structures and streetscapes (e.g. façade improvements and streetscaping), improving local business viability (e.g. business recruitment, upper storey housing, pop-up retailers) and public safety (e.g. increased pedestrian activity). Bayham’s single most important asset is its publically accessible waterfront areas. With the limited public access to Lake Erie in Elgin County (most lands are privately owned) consumer demand for this type of recreation activity (e.g. beaches, picnic areas, boating, destination retail, festivals and events) is in high demand as evidenced by the popularity of communities like Port Dover and Port Stanley. The Port Burwell Master Plan identifies future public investments in services, facilities, access and parking that will contribute to the revitalization of Port Burwell over time and the destination for residents and visitors alike. This in turn can be leveraged in other areas of the municipality as more people and residents are attracted to the community. Recommendations 1. Support the development of a regional Downtown Improvement Strategy in partnership with the County of Elgin that will foster the development of well-functioning and vibrant commercial areas across the region (e.g. Spruce the Bruce). In conjunction with this effort Bayham should ensure it has a simplified planning policy regime (Official Plan and Zoning) that outlines the desire mix of uses, urban form, open spaces, parking and parkland requirements and potential revitalization incentives for each of its urban cores. 2. As part of its downtown revitalization efforts, Bayham should give consideration to preparing downtown vacancy maps, an enhanced or ‘refreshed’ façade improvement program, the feasibility of a farmers market, the introduction of a pop-up retail program, and the preparation of a downtown beautification pamphlet which tells visitors, residents and business of the local improvement efforts. This information and programming should be made available on line as part of changes to the municipal website. 3. Prepare a municipal Cultural Asset Inventory and map to better support the development of the arts, culture, recreation and place based cultural tourism in Bayham and the County of Elgin. 4. Work with the County of Elgin to develop a four season event strategy to attract residents and visitors to Port Burwell. It is recommended that Bayham target one event per season. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 44 of 274 16 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Continued support for small business and entrepreneurs While the local economy shows evidence of diversification, it is overwhelmingly characterized by small companies and enterprises that employ less than 10 people – a trend playing out through much of the County. To support future growth and investment in Bayham, it is essential to understand and support the needs of established small businesses across all sectors of the economy. This can be done through more comprehensive business retention and expansion programming combined with effective and targeted investment attraction activities. This is particularly relevant in light of existing research and trends across Canada which suggests that an overwhelming percentage of new business investment in a community is derived from companies already located there. Bayham businesses currently have access to a range of services and resources through the Elgin Business Resource Centre, Elgin Innovation Centre and the County of Elgin Economic Development. Bayham should foster and support dialogue in business community, by encouraging initiatives that address local business needs. Recommendations 1. Create an Economic Development Advisory Committee in order to facilitate a more direct interface between the Municipality, local business and the County of Elgin. 2. Work with the EBRC and the County of Elgin to promote and deliver small business seminars geared to e-marketing, website development, business networking, workforce planning and marketing and succession planning. Connect small businesses in the Municipality with senior business leaders in the region who can act as mentors and coaches. 3. Develop a Business Guide to Planning and Development Services that outlines all of services and processes of the municipality that assist with new investment and business expansion opportunities. 4. Work with the County of Elgin to examine and catalog existing programs and opportunities that currently support business development and investment in the region. This should include available funding from senior levels of government. 5. Work with the Elgin Business Resource Centre and the Innovation Centre for Entrepreneurs to foster an entrepreneurial spirit among students and youth (18-30 years) in Bayham through the creation of a youth entrepreneurial program. More effort needs to be directed at investment readiness including a plan for future investment Investment readiness is the ability or capacity of a community to support projects and activities that would facilitate the attraction or growth of new business investment or jobs in a community. Businesses relocate, or open a new location when business needs or conditions motivate a 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 45 of 274 17 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan change in location or expansion; for example, when a business expands beyond the capacity of a particular site or market. How a community responds to these opportunities often determines the success of attracting this investment. To be investment ready a municipality must first understand its competitive position (costs, land, buildings, workforce and land use and zoning,) and the investment or businesses that it is looking to attract. This informs the development of a strong value proposition that is then reflected in website content, key messaging, marketing material etc. Often this value proposition includes business and lifestyle factors that will appeal to prospective investors or businesses, as well as available financial incentives Bayham has a limited inventory of commercial and industrial lands with which to attract investors suggesting that much of the business recruitment and investment attraction will rely on redevelopment potential. Though there are some infill opportunities, particularly in the commercial land supply, there are limited designated and zoned properties that would be available over the shorter term. This limits the types of commercial/industrial activity that the Municipality can accommodate. Recommendations 1. Maintain an online inventory of available serviced and un-serviced commercial and industrial land and buildings. The following information should be included at a minimum: 1.1. parcel size 1.2. privately or municipally owned 1.3. contact information 1.4. zoning and servicing information 2. Pursue the opportunity of a shared service agreement with the Town of Tillsonburg to extend services to the Bayham Industrial Park. Consider the feasibility of a public private partnership with the landowner to advance the development of these lands. Support the development with a comprehensive marketing strategy. 3. Investigate the market opportunity for an eco-Industrial/Business Park in Vienna taking into consideration the innovative approach to development being advanced by communities such as the City of Guelph. Pursue opportunities for a public private partnership for the development of these lands. Support and encourage a transition to value-added agriculture while improving traditional agricultural activities Value-added agricultural practices are occurring on farms throughout Ontario, as farmers, through necessity, look to increase their on-farm incomes. This can include on-farm sales of crops and produce, including road-side stands, sale of products within farm buildings, pick-your- 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 46 of 274 18 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan own operations, on-farm value-added processing and farm events and attractions, winery tours, sales and restaurants, and farm vacation and bed and breakfasts operations. Regional municipalities are responding to the needs of their farmers and the demands of consumers by providing a greater degree of flexibility with regards to official plan policies and zoning by-law provisions. While Bayham’s Official Plan policies currently support the activity of value-added agriculture, it was suggested by local stakeholders that the Municipality needs to be more pro-active in the area of value-added agriculture and look to the success of secondary on- farm uses in nearby counties. In recent years, value-added agriculture has been growing in popularity in Elgin, Norfolk and Haldimand Counties, as well as across the Niagara region. In addition to the anticipated benefits that value-added agriculture could provide for both farmers and the county, farmers stressed the importance of promoting and encouraging value-added agriculture, to ensure the continual success and prosperity of local farms and a livelihood for area farmers. Recommendations 1. Encourage Elgin County to complete a value-added food study that gives consideration to the growth prospects for organic food, niche crops, vineyards, slow food industry, and small and medium scale food processing. 2. Support the creation of a regional Agricultural Advisory Board to advise county council on matters pertaining to agricultural issues in Elgin County. 2.1. Provide local forums for discussion and coordination of agricultural initiatives and programs with community groups and agencies. 3. Advocate for an increase of funding for agricultural research and development in areas specific to the value-added agriculture i.e. organic food, wineries, food processing, and aquaculture. 4. Support and encourage Bayham farmers to involve themselves within the food experience packages produced by Elgin County that illustrate both agricultural products and agri-tourism activities across the County 3.1 Implementation The foregoing recommendations assumes that the Municipality of Bayham will take more of a leadership role as it relates to economic development opportunities in the community. The completion of this action plan should inform the municipality’s short term priorities and facilitate the plan’s implementation. The findings from the supporting background research and analysis presented in Appendices to this report have informed the priority identification and related recommendations. Taking into consideration the lack of delivery structure for economic development at the local level and the fiscal constraints facing the community, it is assumed that the Municipality will need to foster and 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 47 of 274 19 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan support strong partnerships to ensure that the outcomes of this plan have positive benefits for Bayham.

Literature Review Southwestern Ontario Context SWOTC: Market Development Strategy The key purpose of the Market Development Strategy was to understand the current market within the Regional Tourism Organization 1 and to provide recommendations for tourism product development. As part of this strategy, the following recommendations were made for SWOTC’s coverage area: Leveraging Existing Markets and Products  Develop day tripping program: Conduct further research on day tripping market and based on results develop products and enhance experiences to increase number of day trippers  Educational travel program: Many attractions in region lend themselves well to the development of an education travel program that could target schools and colleges  Understand and develop retail and shopping program: Conduct research on the effects of retail spending on local tourism  Focus on product development for external markets: Product and program development should focus on the types of activities external group participates in  Create packages to address current market needs: Create an excellent tourism experience for visitors, by packaging numerous tourism products in region  Intra-regional coordination and communication: Improve regional coordination and communication  Local accommodation study: Conduct further research on local accommodations especially those that are not hotels, motels and bed and breakfast  Accommodation attraction: Develop accommodation attraction strategy  SWOTC role clarification: Clarify role that the RTO will play in the region and how the work of the RTO will impact DMO’s own role, projects and budgets New Product/Program Opportunities  Medical, health and wellness program: Leverage existing medical facilities to attract visitors to come to region  Off season: Product development should focus on how to create the various off season experiences by leveraging existing assets 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 50 of 274 A-2 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Conference and meetings: Develop coordinated conference and meetings program that would work on making meeting planners aware of the opportunities that exist in the region  Premier event: Establish major event that is unique to the region, and is not currently being offered in Ontario or neighboring tourism regions  Develop region as a “Family Destination”: Critical mass of family destinations exists in region  Coordinated approach to festivals, fairs and events: Organizers should work together to coordinate all festivals, fairs and events to increase efficiencies and opportunities Marketing Initiatives  Regional tourism website: Develop regional tourism website that will encompass and represent all tourism assets that the region has to offer  Brand promotion and integration: Ensure all future marketing endeavors include new brand that was developed as part of this strategy  Advertising program: Develop carefully planned and executed advertising program that targets specific audience  Public relations program: Ensure PR program gets as much attention as possible for all the events and attractions offered in region  Pictures and videos: Create a database of pictures and videos can in order to communicate tourism message directly and effectively to the target markets  Signage program: Develop comprehensive signage program that includes way finding, highway, promotional and program-specific signage SWOTC: Agritourism Development Strategy and Marketing Plan Agri-tourism has also been identified as one of seven priority projects for the Southwest Ontario region as it is seen as an opportunity for farmers to enter new markets for farm products and services. The purpose of this strategy was to understand the opportunities provided by agritourism operations to the tourism sector in the SWOTC region. The following set of recommendations was made to continue the growth of agritourism in the region: Fixed Attractions  Work with economic development offices in the region to expand investment in wineries • Consider featuring artists, organizing tours and host culinary events (dinners, cooking classes, etc) in order to encourage visitation to wineries in region  Explore opportunities for investment in craft breweries 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 51 of 274 A-3 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Events and Festivals  Connect agriculture to educational events and programs and seasonal festivals held across the region Services  Further build and connect existing culinary trails • Establish region-wide culinary trail linking the region through food  Support the expansion of local food restaurants • Network with chefs with a local food interest that are seeking new opportunities for investment • Utilize Local Food Plus and the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance to assist in this endeavor  Link products together and other outdoor recreation activities with agritourism activities. • Might create the opportunity to draw visitors across the region to experience a variety of activities  Continue to support secondary use on agricultural land including on-farm processing and agri-tainment opportunities such as petting zoos and horseback riding  Foster the development of agricultural producer cooperatives to make it easier for large buyers (restaurants) to purchase from local producers  Continue to develop on-farm roofed accommodations (bed and breakfasts and guest houses) and on-farm dining facilities Ontario’s Southwest Motorcycle Tourism Report, 2011 Motorcycle tourism in the Southwest Ontario region is also one of the seven priority projects as it was found to be a significant contributor to tourism spending and local economic development. The objectives of the Motorcycle Tourism Report were:  Expand and enhance the motorcycle tourism experience in Region 1  Identify motorcycle and other events within the region  Determine how to increase traffic and visitation to events  Encourage attendees to stay longer / spend more money  Understand and identify potential partnerships with motorcycle groups, retailers, motorcycle- friendly accommodations and other relevant experiences of interest According to the survey conducted in May 2011, the following communities were identified most frequently as the favourite destination among motorcycle enthusiasts:  Port Dover 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 52 of 274 A-4 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Niagara  Port Stanley  Grand Bend  Port Burwell  Pelee A series of recommendations for SWOTC were made in order to aid in the development of a Motorcycle Tourism package that would encourage motorcyclist to visit and stay in the region:  Work with DMOs to develop relationships among market-ready motorcycle tourism product and explore overnight packages on key motorcycle routes  Publish motorcycle tourism map using the dimensions, stock and distribution plan outlined in this report  Consult with other RTOs and the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation about integrating content and functionality of any motorcycle tourism website before developing on- line presence for region  Develop social media guidelines, a plan for social media tactics, register with social media sites, and post content linking motorcycle-friendly product and DMOs, in order to develop a base of consumers for future tactics  Explore supporting marketing initiatives such as media relations, trade shows, print advertising opportunities, alliances and other activities to support the core motorcycle tourism marketing strategy Birding in Southwestern Ontario: Product Assessment and Regional Marketing Plan, 2011 Wildlife viewing, which includes bird watching, is a growing subsector of the ecotourism market. Due to the natural assets present in the region, Southwest Ontario is well positioned to benefit from this trend. The purpose of this study was to review the opportunities for birding tourism across the region to offer visitors a more diverse and package of birding and outdoor opportunities. The following sets of key recommendations were made as a part of the report:  Develop Lake Erie Coastal Birding Route that acts similarly to a culinary trail • Birding trail would be a driving / hiking / cycling route that parallels the Lake Erie coast, with options for “loop trips” into the interior of the Southwestern Ontario region • Key nodes would be the major national and provincial parks (Pelee Point, Rondeau, Port Burwell, Rock Point), world biosphere reserve (Long Point), and conservation areas (Hillman Marsh)  Create a plan that will aid in developing the trail and ongoing trail stewardship  Develop marketing tools required to bring this project to life which includes a map of birding hotspots and a birding visitor guide, along with a robust website 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 53 of 274 A-5 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Support birding festivals and events  Promote birding trail with advertising  Utilize opportunities for travel stories in mass media  Increase online media/social media presence to promote birding opportunities  Utilize special promotions such as birding passport program for different sites, family passes and package birding opportunities with accommodation Region 1: Recreation Experience Assessment, 2011 The purpose of the study was to implement an outdoor experience assessment and strategic marketing plan focused on golfing, fishing, and camping experiences throughout the region. The report made the following set of recommendations for each of the outdoor activities: Golfing: Product Development  Organize the Top 10 golf operators and use their golf experience and venues to position the region as a stand out golf destination  Create and establish a formal Golf Operator Working Group and facilitate a process where the operators can work together to create affordable overnight golf experience packages  Plan and execute tourism market readiness training workshops with the next level of golf operators Golfing: Marketing  Develop a fall golf package pilot project campaign, targeting golfers near and or within Region  Create golfer data base for future e-marketing initiatives  Initiate a monthly golf package E-blast using purchased email lists and own list as it develops  Approach golf tour operators to consider selling the golf packages  Grow the Top 10 to include other market ready venues and roll out a more comprehensive campaign  Create a regional golf competition where pros from Top 10 courses put together teams to challenge players from other Top 10 courses Fishing: Product Development  Establish a Fishing Operator Working Group to organize a collective approach to better leverage the fishing assets and grow tourism business in Region 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 54 of 274 A-6 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Develop overnight fishing experiences by collaborating with DMO’s, food & beverage providers, retailers to create compelling reasons to extend the length of stay  Explore the possibilities of creating a regional booking mechanism to streamline the booking process and allow for selling packaged experiences  Conduct research among anglers in the GTA marketplace in order to identify opportunities that would attract anglers who are not currently fishing in Region  Leverage opportunities associated with enhancing and expanding fishing tournaments that take place in Region Fishing: Marketing  Develop a collaborative marketing strategy once the Working Group has determined areas of opportunity and have packaged product that will generate overnight visitation  Create a fishing micro site or include fishing information in a regional site  Attend key fishing/sport shows as a group to have a larger presence at these shows and develop strategies to stand out among other regional fishing destinations  Develop an unpaid media strategy and proactively secure stories and coverage for fishing opportunities in Region  Host annual media and corporate Familiarization Tours in order to showcase the fishing experiences available in Region to both the media and corporate meeting/event planners Camping: Product Development  Develop places for RVs to camp in order to pursue RVers as they deliver a higher yield than traditional campers or those using public campgrounds  Establish an Infrastructure Task Team to explore development opportunities associated with the emerging trends in outdoor accommodation options • They would create a series of prioritized strategies designed to increase the availability of new or enhanced non-traditional outdoor roofed accommodation options  Advocate for regulatory changes that could positively impact operations and expansion plans for private campground  Develop and fund a grass roots communications plan targeting municipal officials and other tourism industry stakeholders to reverse negative perceptions that exist about RVers / campers and the impact they have on local communities Camping: Marketing  List RV park/ campground accommodation options in regional marketing material 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 55 of 274 A-7 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Develop experience packages utilizing RV park/campgrounds as exclusive accommodation options  Target families, birders, touring seniors as they tend to seek out these types of accommodations  Promote camping experiences in public campgrounds to birders in shoulder seasons, especially during migration periods  Consider having a regional presence at select outdoor and RV consumer shows and ensure all operators are group together under a regional banner Port, Coastal and Riverfront Communities Development & Investment Attraction Strategy SWOTC undertook a study for water based tourism development and investment for the communities along Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair and Lake Huron. The strategy looked at ways to leverage the waterfront to provide a higher quality tourism experience for visitors and achieve economic growth for the communities along the lakes. The objectives of the project were the following:  To identify business, investment and product development opportunities in the region's ports and waterway areas  To develop specific actions to attract investment and grow tourism in these opportunity areas  To develop a community resource toolkit for port, coastal and riverfront communities As part of the project, the plan recommended the following key tourism product development strategies:  Incorporate water-based activities and tourism experiences as a signature element of regional marketing and promotional efforts  Strengthen and promote existing trail networks that connect to the waterfront, and pursue opportunities to link trails across Counties and to existing waterfront tourism sites, incorporate mapping of trails through MDS website  Create region-wide packages of themed events (e.g. birding, sportfishing, diving, marinas, Provincial Parks) for promotion to niche markets  Promote major waterfront events/initiatives in a shared calendar and include linkages with other tourism-related activities such as camping, trails, biking etc.  Profile major waterfront initiatives that will serve to attract both tourists and further private sector investments, including (for example) the recent recognition of Port Stanley as a Blue Flag Beach 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 56 of 274 A-8 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Explore avenues to assist Counties and municipalities to strengthen signage and way-finding (including the use of technology) to direct visitors to waterfront sites of interest (by land and water)  Support regionally-based or County-led municipalities in conducting a gap analysis for amenities and services that support water-based tourism, focused specifically on small-scale accommodation (B+Bs, campgrounds) in proximity to waterfront areas  Encourage waterfront municipalities to pursue tourism-related community development and beautification programs, e.g. Community Improvement Plans, Façade Improvement Programs, Communities in Bloom  Support local municipalities in establishing dedicated pedestrian and cycling access corridors from key waterfront sites to downtown commercial and retail area In addition to the tourism strategies, the plan also recommended the following key investment attraction strategies:  Develop and market an investment profile of development ready sites in the Region’s waterfront communities  Develop a protocol to assist DMOs and tourism organizations in pursuing private-sector sponsorship for events and public-private partnerships for investment  Identify high-visitation, high-revenue attractions and events in the Southwest Ontario Region that should be profiled in and supported by provincial marketing and promotion campaigns and materials  Develop and promote the use of a tourism investment prefeasibility assessment handbook to support the attraction of new business investment to the Region  Support existing tourism business and operations by conducting workshops to discuss new product investment and expansion opportunities associated with the Region’s priority tourism segments  Organize regular familiarization tours of potential (re)development sites with local businesspeople and investors, and compile site information/prospectuses to support these tours Elgin County Context Elgin County – Agri-food Business Expansion and Retention Study (2012) Elgin County conducted a business expansion and retention study to gain a more complete understanding of the challenges and opportunities that existed in the County’s Agriculture and Agri-food sector. As part of the study, interviews with agri-food businesses were undertaken. The results from the interviews were used to create the following key set of recommendations: 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 57 of 274 A-9 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Improved Permit and Regulatory Approval Process  Support and provide guidance for local municipality’s to streamline the development approval process  Provide business support to help navigate the regulatory environment Support for Succession Planning, Business Planning  Work with the Elgin Business Resource Centre to develop targeted workshops and reference materials to support succession and business planning for the County’s agricultural sector Value Added Processing  Investigate options for a value-added food study that gives consideration to the growth prospects for organic food, niche crops, vineyards, slow food industry, and small and medium scale food processing.  Support the development of value-added businesses by establishing a relationship between the Elgin Federation of Agriculture, local farmers and the Niagara College Brew Master program.

The following key recommendations were developed for the revitalization of Port Stanley’s harbour and provide insight on how Port Burwell may develop in the future:  Complete a secondary plan and Community Improvement Plan for the Port Stanley Harbour to aid in the desired development of the area  Adopt the Historic Conservation District Plan and Guidelines to protect local heritage properties  Expedite the environmental remediation of the lands by working with the Government of Canada  Initiate preliminary risk assessment for public lands to engage private sector in the redevelopment of the western harbour lands  Complete public realm improvements and infrastructure upgrades  Develop four season tourism event strategy by working with the County of Elgin, the Port Stanley BIA and the Port Stanley Village Association  Conduct bi-annual Port Stanley visitor surveys to gauge satisfaction with local events, amenities, services etc.  Develop greater variety of destination retail opportunities and food and beverage venues  Improve existing streetscape through the use of façade improvement programs, landscape improvement grants or tax increment financing  Engage local service clubs, area businesses and the community at large in fundraising for the public realm initiatives  Complete a parking study for Port Stanley harbour area to determine the need for additional off-street and on street parking  Complete hotel/convention feasibility study to illustrate and support the potential for additional accommodation in this region of Elgin County  Improve the marketing of Port Stanley in way that more effectively showcases local retailers, the size of the service area, consumer profile and the direct marketing of the waterfront lands once the secondary process is complete  Develop a specialized tool kit of web based resources to assist companies considering downtown Port Stanley for business investment  Develop economic development function within the municipality that could oversee the attraction of investors and development of the Harbour Lands over the long term 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 59 of 274 A-11 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan County of Elgin Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan 2011-2014 Part I The County initiated the 2011-2014 Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan to address the challenges the region faced due to changing economic conditions in the province and county. The following goals have framed the County’s economic development efforts over the span of the plan. Goals 1. Build Social Capital Developing social capital in Elgin will assist the County to mobilize the community in supporting the County’s economic development goals. Elgin County will build social capital through enhancing:  Civic pride and ownership  Networking 2. Enhance the Built Environment The built environment shapes how residents and community members interact with each other and impacts networks, enterprise development and industry attraction. This will be accomplished by:  Fully utilizing employing lands  Protecting our Heritage  Creating engaging public places 3. Develop Talent and our Entrepreneurs The attraction and retention of talent and innovation through creative people and enterprises is becoming a new economic reality for rural regions. The objectives for this goal are:  Strengthen linkages to research institutions  Support enterprise development  Engage and reinforce lifelong learning 4. Tell our Story Elgin does not have a product to market; it has a story to tell. Story telling is as much about who is telling the story, as it is about the story itself. Stories need to be about challenging the status quo and connecting to people who can make a difference. This is accomplished by:  Focusing and targeting the message  Engage leaders The County is currently reviewing the implementation efforts of the 2011 Plan with a mind to ‘refreshing’ the County’s economic development program. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 60 of 274 A-12 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Bayham Context Official Plan of the Municipality of Bayham (revised 2012) The official plan for the Municipality of Bayham recognizes that the predominant use of land in the Municipality will be agricultural in nature. Most of the future non-farm growth and development will be concentrated in the municipality’s urban areas of Straffordville, Vienna and Port Burwell. The plan recognizes the agricultural sector as the primary economic activity in the municipality and works to provide policy framework to encourage the preservation and utilization of good agricultural lands for agricultural productions. The following is a short summary of relevant land use designations and policies considered to have an impact on the future economic development of the Municipality: Agriculture One of the main goals of the plan is to place a high priority on maintaining or initiating agricultural production on high quality agricultural lands. The plan has policies in place to discourage the divisions of larges farms into smaller holdings and to encourage continued farm use. In order to support on-farm diversification, the municipality allows the establishment of agri-tourism operations on agriculture lands Industrial The Bayham Industrial Park, located on the northern end of the municipality and neighbouring Tillsonburg, is recognized as the main industrial area in Bayham. Lands designated for industrial use permit only dry industrial uses and should not require municipal sanitary sewer and water supply service. Commercial New commercial development shall be encouraged to locate in existing commercial areas of the urban areas through renovation of older structures and the erection of new buildings. Municipal Sewage and Water Services The villages of Port Burwell and Vienna have municipal sewage and water services and are the focus of growth within Bayham. The municipality will not permit development within serviced areas that cannot be feasibly connected to the municipal sewage and water services. Waterfront One of the goals of the plan is to support and encourage the establishment of a marina on Lake Erie at the mouth of Big Otter Creek. In order to achieve this goal, the municipality has designated lands around the waterfront in Port Burwell as ‘Specific Policy Area’ that will remain in a holding zone until the lands can be developed. The municipality has recently completed a Master Plan for Port Burwell that addresses the future development opportunities for the waterfront. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 61 of 274 A-13 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan The Municipality of Bayham Strategic Plan 2008-2013 The main objective of the plan was to assist in formulating and directing Bayham’s municipal objectives from 2008-2013.

The following key investments were recommended: Site Functionality and Ownership  Obtain some of the privately held lands along the waterfront to provide flexibility when constructing infrastructure and public assets  Purchase back existing structures surrounding the Lighthouse and maintain lighthouse as focus of the main street  Pursue private partnerships for the development and operation of public facilities  Provide a minimum of 200 parking spots on municipally owned lot  Expansion of washroom facilities is a high priority  Provide concession and tourism information shop on public beach  Pursue a Fisherman’s Village on the vacant lot adjacent to the Harbourfront, which would accommodate retail, restaurant, residential and tourist activities with space for outdoor activities Water Quality and Environment  Construct new natural features on west side of Big Otter Creek that provide habitat for birds and butterflies that will contribute to regional birding tourism plans  Construct a series of interpretive trails that connect the key features of the area and link to adjacent features to further unify the area  Apply to Blue Flag Beach program Public Safety and Security  Undertake an official risk assessment of the beach and create an appropriate response strategy  Provide first aid stations and emergency rescue stations that are clearly denoted with signage Continuity and Connectivity  Improve access with Provincial Park by building a bridge connection over Big Otter Creek  Construct a series of seating areas that allow for seating, picnicking, gathering and viewing  Improve connections to Memorial Park and use the park as a regular event space 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 64 of 274 A-16 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Improve connection between downtown area to the beach and provincial park through streetscape design, signage and way finding and through potential redevelopment of lands along Robinson Street Seasonal Interest and Diversity of Uses  Create a dedicated space for outdoor events  Incorporate a canoe and kayak launch along waterfront  Create a marina and public boat launch  Improvements to pier should allow for passive activities like fishing, siting and tanning High Quality Public Realm  Create venue for concerts and activities Bayham Cultural Plan 2005 In 2005, Bayham completed a cultural plan that would guide municipal objectives in unlocking the potential of a unique Bayham experience for visitors and residents alike. The plan had the following five goals:  To increase the sense of community pride and engagement in pursuing Bayham's future by encouraging increased participation in community development and a broader understanding and appreciation of the community’s tourism potential and heritage resources.  To realize the untapped potential of the community through: • Building on what already has been achieved • Identifying unique opportunities • Collectively overcoming barriers to success  To generate positive economic benefits for the community, related to generating support for existing and new business initiatives and creating employment opportunities.  To achieve an effective balance between economic development initiatives within the Plan and the residents' quality of life, values and the natural environment's limitations.  To conserve Bayham's historical, heritage and natural assets for current and future generations. In addition, the plan also recommended several key recommendations that would aid in the cultural economic development of the municipality. These were: Wind Turbines  Develop and promote Bayham’s wind resources through the development of public viewing areas, themed festivals and information centres on wind energy 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 65 of 274 A-17 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Create a Wind Energy Interpretation Centre by working in partnership with wind energy developers, province and Canadian Wind Energy Association  Create a festival for the “turning the switch” and first day of operation for the public distribution of electrical wind energy systems Waterfront  Improve waterfront infrastructure and amenities in Port Burwell by providing public facilities such as public washroom, beach house, and marina  Consider a venue for concert and activities Vienna and Port Burwell  Create a CIP for investment in infrastructure and landscaping such as streets, benches, lighting and amenities  Encourage the development of Coral Flats as retirement community Otter Valley Recreational Trail Improvements  Improve the quality of user experiences on the Otter Valley Recreation Trail for passive recreational uses, including hiking, biking, birding and interpretation of the heritage resources of the municipality  Invest in the infrastructure, points of interest and marketing of the trail as a key part of the cultural and tourism opportunities in Bayham  Create events related to activities along the trail Festivals and Events  Host around eight to ten festivals/events per year  Position one to two signature festivals/events to attract external visitations Tourism Packages  Eco-Tourism: Develop package around birding destination, shoreline, trail system and Carolinian forest for visitors interested in outdoor experiences  Agri-Tourism: Develop package around farm operators who are prepared to provide varied agri-tourism opportunities Bayham’s Façade Improvement Loan Program The façade improvement loan program aims to assist in the improvement and promotion of the core business areas across the municipality.

Economic Profile The Municipality of Bayham is a lower tier municipality located in the eastern end of Elgin County. While portions of the County have direct access to Highway 401, Bayham’s eastern location within the county makes access to the Highway more challenging. The historic towns and villages of the lower tier municipalities coupled with the region’s agricultural landscapes contribute to the County’s strong rural character and appeal. The lower- tier municipalities that comprise up Elgin County include:  Aylmer  Bayham  Central Elgin  Dutton/Dunwich  Malahide  Southwold  West Elgin Figure 1 shows the political boundaries of the County and the lower-tier municipalities. The map also shows the position of some of the surrounding municipalities. FIGURE 2: MAP OF ELGIN COUNTY AND MUNICIPALITIES Source: OMAFRA EMSI Analyst, Dataset Version 2014.1 The objective of this economic base analysis is to provide a detailed understanding of the economy in the Municipality of Bayham that can be used to inform the creation of an Economic Opportunities Report. The profile includes current information on the demographics of the 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 68 of 274 B-20 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan municipality, the composition of its business community, and its labour force, as well as a spotlight on the agriculture sector. It should be noted that parts of the economic base analysis uses Southwest Ontario as a region of comparison. For the purposes of the analysis Southwest Ontario has been defined to include Elgin County, Middlesex County, Oxford County, Brant County, and Norfolk County. Demographic Characteristics Population Change The population in Bayham (3.9%) has been growing at a faster rate compared to Elgin County (2.5%) and has added 262 people from 2006-2011. However the growth rate in Bayham was lower than Southwest Ontario (4.2%) and Ontario (5.7%). From 2001 to 2006, Bayham (5.5%) had a greater growth rate than Elgin County (4.7%) and Southwest Ontario (4.6%) while it was lower than the Province (6.6%). FIGURE 3: POPULATION CHANGE 2006, 2011 Source: Statistics Canada Census, 2006, 2011 Population by Age In 2011, around a third of residents in Bayham were between the ages of 0-19 years, which was greater than either Elgin County (26.1%) or the Province (23.7%). In addition, the growth rate for this age group in the municipality was 8% while in the county and province the average was - 2.9% and 0.3% respectively. Although Bayham (18.2%) has a similar proportion of residents between the ages of 60+ compared to Ontario (20.6%), the growth rate for this age group in the municipality was 66.1% while in the province the rate was 51.5%. While 22.1% of the population in Elgin County made up this age group which had a growth rate of 44.8%. The age profile of Bayham suggests that the population change is attributed to the growth of families with children, residents aging in place or the attraction of retirees to the municipality. Bayham’s proximity to the Town of Tillsonburg (albeit not in Elgin County) and the services provided is no doubt a factor in the municipality’s population growth. Over the long term, it will be important for the municipality to consider the range of local services and amenities (e.g. housing, recreation amenities, healthcare, and retail services) that may be needed to satisfy the demands of residents – particular youth and seniors.

The education attainment of the residents of Bayham is an important aspect of economic development as education levels will determine the strength of the local economy. Figure 5 compares the educational attainment of residents in Bayham, Elgin County, Southwest Ontario and Ontario. When compared to the other three geographic regions, the municipality has a higher portion of residents with no certificate, diploma or degree, and apprenticeships or trades certificate or FIGURE 5: EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT OF BAYHAM, ELGIN COUNTY, SOUTHWEST ONTARIO AND ONTARIO Source: Statistics Canada Census, 2011 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 70 of 274 B-22 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan diploma. The low proportion of residents with high school or higher education could create challenges for the municipality in attracting industries that require a knowledge-based work force. Household Income The household income of a community is a helpful measure of the municipality’s socio-economic composition. Figure 6 shows the proportion of household incomes for Bayham, Elgin County, Southwest Ontario and Ontario. Bayham (51.6%) has a greater percentage of households making $30,000-$79,999 compared to the other geographic area, with Ontario (39.5%) having the lowest proportion. FIGURE 6: HOUSEHOLD INCOME PROPORTIONS IN BAYHA, ELGIN COUNTY, SOUTHWEST ONTARIO AND ONTARIO, 2011 Source: Statistics Canada Census, 2011 The proportion of households within this income range has impacted the average household income in Bayham ($66,666) which was the lowest among the comparative areas. One explanation for the low average household income may be due to the low levels of higher education in the work force which could be preventing local residents from obtaining higher paying jobs that require an advance skill set. Labour Force Profile The labour force profile of the Municipality of Bayham is an important factor in determining the economic competitiveness of the municipality and the level of entrepreneurism. The following section outlines resident labour force characteristics, labour force compositions by industry and occupation, place of work status and commuting patterns. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 71 of 274 B-23 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Labour Force Characteristics From 2006 to 2011, the total labour force in Bayham decreased by 140 people (4.2%) to a total of 3,155 workers. It should be noted that this amount refers to the employment status of the local workers and not the number of jobs located in the municipality. The County (-2.7%) also saw a decrease in the number of people in the labour force while the Province (4.2%) had an increase. The reason for the larger decrease in the labour force in Bayham compared to the other areas may be due to the higher portion of people approaching retirement and retirees in the municipality. The unemployment rate in Bayham in 2011 was 8.4% which was lower than the County (9.0%) and comparable to the province (8.3%). The municipality (1.3%) also had a smaller increase in the unemployment rate compared to the County (3.5%) and Province (1.9%). One likely explanation for the lower unemployment rate in Bayham is due to the higher growth rate in the number of businesses in the Municipality (58.4%) compared to the County (17.7%) from 2008- 2013. FIGURE 7: LABOUR FORCE ACTIVITY IN BAYHAM, ELGIN COUNTY AND ONTARIO, 2006 & 2011 Source: Statistics Canada National Household Survey, 2011, Census, 2006 Labour Force by Industry Looking into the composition of the labour force by industry allows for the understanding of the competitive advantages in the local economy and where clusters of skills may exist.

Looking further at the subsector level within these three industries the following leading subsectors were found:  Farms (485 employees, 17.7%)  Transportation equipment manufacturing (285 employees, 10.4%)  Truck transportation (185 employees, 6.8%)  Speciality trade contractors (160 employees, 5.9%) The strength of these subsectors are reflected in the business patterns for Bayham where strongest growth, in terms of the number of businesses, occurred in the agriculture, transportation, construction manufacturing industries. The municipality has recognized the agriculture industry as primary economic activity in Bayham and has enacted polices within their official plan to preserve agricultural lands.

Labour Force by Occupation The occupational composition of the labour force was analyzed to determine the skills and competencies of the residents of Bayham. Figure 9 shows the occupation proportions in Bayham, Elgin County and Ontario in 2011. FIGURE 9: TOTAL EMPLOYED LABOUR FORCE BY OCCUPATION IN BAYHAM, ELGIN COUNTY AND ONTARIO Source: Statistics Canada National Household Survey, 2011 The occupations with the highest concentrations in Bayham were:  Trades, transport and equipment operators and related occupations (880 workers, 30.4%)  Sales and service occupations (365 workers, 12.6%)  Occupations in manufacturing and utilities (355 workers, 12.3%)  Natural resources, agriculture and related production occupations (350 workers, 12.1%)  Management occupations (300 workers, 10.4%) The concentration of workers in trades, transport, manufacturing and agriculture related occupations is more than double the concentration in Ontario. The high concentration of these occupation categories is likely due in part to the municipality’s proximity to Aylmer and Tillsonburg. The municipality had a low concentration of sales and service occupations in the municipality compared to the county, and in addition only 3.7% of businesses in Bayham were in retail trade while for Elgin County the rate was 8.6%. The occupational and business patterns suggest that local residents in Bayham may be doing most of their personal shopping outside the municipality.

These occupational strengths present an opportunity for the municipality to attract businesses in these industries that would benefit from Bayham’s work force. Place of Work Status Figure 10 displays the place of work status for the employed population for the three geographic areas. The figure shows that Bayham has the highest proportion of residents with no fixed workplace address (16.4%) and who worked at home (12.0%) among these three geographic areas. One explanation for the high proportion of the employed population having no fixed workplace is due to the large portion of the labour force working in the construction industry. The high proportion of the population working at home in Bayham is likely due to the large portion of the work force employed in agriculture sector as 69.5% of firm in this sector are self-employed businesses, which suggests that a large portion of the agricultural workforce live and work on their farms. FIGURE 10: PLACE OF WORK STATUS IN BAYHAM, ELGIN COUNTY, SOUTHWEST ONTARIO AND ONTARIO, 2011 Source: Statistics Canada Census, 2011 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 75 of 274 B-27 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Commuting Patterns The following two figures display the commuting patterns for the workforce that reside in Bayham and for the labour force that works in the municipality. Figure 11 shows the top locations where Bayham residents commute for work. The largest proportion of residents commutes to Tillsonburg (24.1%) and Aylmer (19.0%) for work, while Bayham (15.9%) was the third highest location for work. In total, Elgin County (including St. Thomas made up 45.8% of the top locations that residents in Bayham commute to for work. One explanation for the large proportion of Bayham residents commuting to Tillsonburg and Aylmer is that they are employed in manufacturing sector and these jobs are located in these municipalities. Figure 12 shows where the municipality’s work force is coming from. Just over 68% of the municipality’s labour force originates from Elgin County with the remaining coming from Norfolk County and Tillsonburg. Bayham (40.5%) was the largest source of workers for the municipality, which is likely due to the large proportion of workers in the municipality who work in the agriculture industry live in Bayham.

The business data collected for South Bruce includes all local businesses that meet at least one of the three following criteria:  Have an employee workforce for which they submit payroll remittances to CRA  Have a minimum of $30,000 in annual sales revenue  Are incorporated under a federal or provincial act and have filed a federal corporate income tax form within the past three years The Canadian Business Patterns Data records business counts by “Total”, “Indeterminate” and “Subtotal” categories. The establishments in the “Indeterminate” category include the self- employed (i.e. those who do not maintain an employee payroll, but may have a workforce consisting of contracted workers, family members or business owners). It should be noted that the Canadian Business Patterns Data uses the CRA as a primary resource in establishment counts; therefore, businesses without a business number or indicating annual sales less than $30,000 are not included. The population of these small, unincorporated businesses is thought to be in the range of 600,000 in all of Canada. A detailed review of the business patterns data for the period between 2008 and 2013 for Bayham provides an understanding of the growth or decline of businesses over the five-year period and the key characteristics that define the municipality’s business community. When combined with the broader industry analysis, the business patterns information will assist in understanding the key industry opportunities for Bayham. Understanding the trends in business growth in the community provides valuable insight into the shape that future growth and investment in the county might take. It also provides an indication of where the priorities of the municipality should lie, especially with regards to program development and delivery, and strategic planning. In terms of concentration, the following sectors (identified in Figure 13) exhibit the highest proportion of business establishments in Bayham as of December 2013:  Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (213 businesses, 35.6% of total)  Construction (90 businesses, 10.8% of total)  Transportation and Warehousing (76 businesses, 12.7% of total)  Manufacturing (39 businesses, 6.5% of total)  Real Estate and Rental and Leasing (35 businesses, 5.9% of total) The high concentration of business in the agricultural sector helps to explain the high proportion of the labour force (17.7%) that lives in Bayham works in agriculture. There are a slightly higher 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 77 of 274 B-29 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan proportion of businesses in manufacturing sector in Bayham (6.5%) compared to Elgin County (4.4%), which speaks the relative strength of this sector in the municipality. Notably, when looking at the indeterminate category (self-employed), it was found that self- employed businesses made up 66.6% of the total firms in Bayham and for the sectors identified above, indeterminate firms made up the majority of firms. The concentration of self-employed businesses in Bayham suggests that the majority of firms in the municipality are home-based businesses.  Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (148 out of 213 businesses, 69.5% of total)  Transportation and Warehousing (60 out of 76 businesses, 78.9% of total)  Construction (47 out of 90 businesses, 52.2% of total)  Real Estate and Rental and Leasing (30 out of 35 businesses, 85.7% of total)  Manufacturing (27 out of 39 businesses, 69.2% of total) The higher concentration of self-employed firms in the agriculture sector helps to explain the higher percentage of workers in Bayham that work at their place of residence as it is likely these farmers live and work on the farms that they own. In the construction industry the high percentage of indeterminate businesses explains the presence of a relatively higher proportion of workers in the municipality that had no fixed workplace addressed. It is likely that these workers were independent construction workers that travel from one work site to another. FIGURE 13: NUMBER OF BUSINESS LOCATIONS IN BAYHAM, DECEMBER 2013 Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Business Patterns, Dec 2013 Among firms that have employees, business establishments in Bayham are overwhelmingly characterized by small companies and enterprises that employ less than 10 people. In 2013, excluding the businesses consisting of the self-employed – which themselves are small enterprises – there were 113 businesses, or 56.5% of the subtotal, that employ 1-4 people which was an increase of 64 firms from 2008. An additional 41 businesses, or 20.5% of the subtotal, employ 5-9 people which was a growth of 17 firms.

There were only four businesses that employed 50 or more employees, with three firms in the manufacturing sector and one in public administration. The small presence of large firms in Bayham, particularly in the manufacturing sector, is in part due to the lack of available serviced industrial lands in the municipality. Without such lands it will be difficult for existing firms to expand their business or attract large employers. It is also valuable to examine the growth in businesses by industry, so as to better understand areas of emerging opportunity and importance within Bayham’s economy. The following figure provides an indication of the growth in business establishments from 2008 to 2013. Overall between 2008 and 2013, the municipality added a total of 349 businesses of which self-employed business contributed 246 firms and employers 103 firms. Looking further into the different economic sectors the industries that added the most firms in the total category (self-employed and employers) were:  Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (131 businesses)  Construction (54 businesses)  Transportation and Warehousing (35 businesses)  Manufacturing (27 businesses)  Real Estate and Rental and Leasing (25 businesses) The sectors with the largest growth from 2008 to 2013 match the sectors with the highest concentrations in 2013. The growth of these businesses may suggest a competitive advantage that could be further leveraged to attract new business investment under the right conditions (e.g. additional serviced employment land) 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 79 of 274 B-31 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan FIGURE 14: BUSIENSS PATTERNS TIME PERIOD COMPARISON, BAYHAM, DECEMBER 2008 AND 2013 Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Business Patterns, Dec. 2008 and 2013 Looking further at the subsector level the following industries added the most number of businesses:  Crop production (106 businesses, 79 indeterminate)  Specialty trade contractors (34 businesses, 16 indeterminate)  Truck transportation (30 businesses, 27 indeterminate)  Animal production and aquaculture (28 businesses, 22 indeterminate)  Real estate (24 businesses, 20 indeterminate) These five subsectors accounted for 222 of 349 of businesses or 63.6% of the business growth in Bayham from 2008-2013. In addition crop production accounted for 80.9% of the growth in the agriculture sector. The majority of the growth within these five subsectors was driven by the indeterminate category (14 out of 222 or 73.9%) which speaks to the strong sense of entrepreneurship in the municipality. Looking further into the manufacturing sector, the following subsectors added the most number of firms:  Machinery manufacturing (7 total businesses, 3 indeterminate)  Food manufacturing (5 total businesses, 5 indeterminate)  Transportation equipment manufacturing (3 total businesses, 3 indeterminate)  Furniture and related product manufacturing (3 total businesses, 4 indeterminate) Within the manufacturing sector, indeterminate firms contributed to 74.1% of the total businesses growth while in the food manufacturing and transportation equipment manufacturing subsectors, indeterminate firms contributed to 100% of the growth. The growth in self-employed businesses in food manufacturing suggests that entrepreneurs are trying to leverage Bayham’s strength in the agriculture industry.

In order to gain a deeper understanding of this sector, statistics from the Census of Agriculture were analyzed. Changes to the following characteristics were examined for Bayham, Elgin County and Ontario, between 2006 and 2011:  Total number of farms  Total acreage farmed  Gross farm receipts  Farms classified by industry Number of Farms and Size of Farms In Bayham from 2006-2011 there was a 3% increase in the total number of farms while in the County (-10%) and Province (-9%) there was a decline. FIGURE 15: CHANGE IN NUMBER OF FARMS IN BAYHAM, ELGIN COUNTY AND ONTARIO, 2006-2011 Source: Statistics Canada Agricultural Census, 2006 & 2011 Looking at the changes to the number of farms by acreage helps to explain why there was a growth in farms at the local level unlike the county or province. Figure 15 shows the change in the number of farms by their acreage in Bayham, Elgin County and Ontario from 2006-2011. Across Elgin County and Ontario, the number of smaller farms has been decreasing while the number of large farms has been increasing. In Bayham, the municipality has been generally following these trends, however medium size farms has been growing. From 2006-2011 the number of farms 400+ acres was increasing while farms less than 399 acres were decreasing.

The high proportion of smaller farms substantiates the likelihood that many farm workers in the municipality work and live on their farms. The growth in small farms may also suggest that larger farms are being divided into smaller holdings which would be in contrast to the official plan that seeks to discourage such divisions. FIGURE 17: FARMS BY ACERAGE IN BAYHAM, ELGIN COUNTY AND ONTARIO, 2011 Source: Statistics Canada Agricultural Census, 2011 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 82 of 274 B-34 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan Farm Receipts Figure 17 shows the changes to the number of farms categorized by their gross farm receipts from 2006-2011. The total gross farm receipts showed that from 2006-2011, Bayham had the largest rate of growth (65%), followed by Ontario (15.0%) and Elgin County (10%). In Bayham the number of farms that reported receipts less than $24,999 increased while in the county and province there was a decrease. The growth in the municipality is likely due to the increase in the number of small farms (0-69 acres). At the county and provincial level there was an increase in the number of farms making more than $500,000 and while the municipality generally followed these trends there was a decrease in the number of farms with a receipt between $1,000,000 to $1,999,999. FIGURE 18: CHANGES IN FARMS CLASSIFIED BY TOTAL GROSS FARMS RECEIPTS IN BAYHAM, ELGIN AND ONTARIO, 2006-2011 Source: Statistics Canada Agricultural Census, 2006 & 2011 Although there has been large growth in higher income farms in Bayham, farms that made more than $500,000 only made up 15% of the total farms in the municipality while farms making less than $24,999 made up 37%. Notably, Bayham farms with receipts between $100,000 to $249,999 made up 22% of farms which is likely due to the growth in medium sized farms across the municipality. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 83 of 274 B-35 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan FIGURE 19: FARMS CLASSIFIED BY TOTAL GROSS FARMS RECEIPTS IN BAYHAM, ELGIN AND ONTARIO, 2011 Source: Statistics Canada Agricultural Census, 2011 Types of Farms Figure 20 display the proportion of farms in Bayham, Elgin County and Ontario in 2011. The sectors with the higest concentration of farms in Bayham were in oilseed and grain farming (45.2%) and vegetable and melon farming (16.4%) which follows trends in the County and Province where oilseed and grain farming were also the highest proportions. However, the second highest sectors were different for all three geographic areas.

Stakeholder Summary Stakeholders with a wide range of interests and organizational background, including regional tourism and economic development organizations, private businesses, and owners of agricultural and industrial lands were interviewed as part of the consultation process. Interviewees were asked questions designed to understand their impact on regional economic development, opportunities and priorities they see for the Municipality of Bayham, and barriers or challenges they face in working with or operating from the Municipality. A summary of responses are presented below. How would you describe the business climate in Bayham? For the most part, interviewees see the business climate in Bayham as being relatively poor. Interviewees focused on the need for Bayham to create more incentives or policy that will encourage current businesses to stay and expand, as well as attract new businesses to the area. There needs to be someone to focus on the care of the businesses to make sure their needs and concerns are being met. There is innovation within the population that just needs to be stimulated with the right incentives. That being said, interviewees did express that the agricultural climate is relatively good. Farms are seen to be doing well and there are few problems coming from the municipality or County in regards to the agricultural sector. Interviewees believe that Bayham has to be proactive in its approach and reach out to partner with others more. What is your vision for economic development in Bayham for the next 10 years? Interviewees shared a number of visions for economic development in Bayham for the next 10 years:  Nurture young local business and give them incentives to stay in the community once they grow larger. There needs to be more viable business in the area in the long term with support for entrepreneurs through education, business planning, and marketing.  Service industrial lands and create an advantage to locate business in industrial parks (currently there is little to no servicing and no buildings). Set aside more land for future industrial development and work on attracting more manufacturing businesses to the region.  Develop the tourism industry further with more tourism experiences and supporting tourism businesses. The Ojibwa submarine can be a fundamental draw for the community but there is a need to offer people other things to do besides activities related to the submarine. Especially need more accommodation and restaurant offerings.  Build on the agricultural heritage of the region by supporting agro-tourism, winery and culinary tourism, and more food processing operations (beyond grating and towards specialty products in particular). There is strong local support for local foods. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 86 of 274 C-38 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Beautify the community through good planning and aesthetic improvements.  Retain the population that is currently in the municipality and attract new residents.  Reduce red tape in the municipality. Make sure Council is aligned and leading on ways to develop the municipality. Make sure to advertise that the area is open for business.  Promote the wind farms in the region. Encourage more alternative energy and promote what is currently there (i.e. wind turbine interpretive centre in Port Burwell is not well known).  Create an “intelligent region” advocating for hi-speed internet and attracting the creative economy class of worker to the area. Transition from the old economy to a knowledge economy where things are done better and more productively. What do you consider to be Bayham’s most important assets? Interviewees see a number of important assets in Bayham:  Tourism assets including trails, nice people, the lake/waterfront, the Ojibwa submarine, marinas, campgrounds, a nice beach, and the Port Burwell harbour  Proximity to St. Thomas and London  Strong agriculture base and heritage. Agricultural land in Bayham is quite productive and farmers in the area are quite good (especially as it relates to developing specialty crops).  Close proximity to Highway #19 and #3 helps to keep trucking somewhat competitive. A lot of trucking companies are located in the area, especially self-employed truckers that work with the agriculture sector.  Quality of life is a big asset. The area is quiet and peaceful.  Good “man power” in the area from the German Mennonite communities around  A lot of windmills  The area has the services to support good sized manufacturing (gas, hydro, sewage). The possibility of servicing industrial lands is pretty good. How could these assets be effectively leveraged to achieve your vision for Bayham or more broadly speaking the County of Elgin? In order for these assets to be better leveraged to achieve their vision for Bayham, interviewees identified a number of initiatives that are important to consider:  Need to create a rational economic argument to attract industries to the area. Focus on what the concrete deliverable advantage is that Bayham can provide.  The municipality needs to nurture local business and make it easy for them to grow and expand, and help entrepreneurs that have ideas to start new businesses.  Clean up the Port Burwell area and make it more attractive to tourism. This includes improving the road from Port Burwell to Long Point to position it as a scenic drive, and 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 87 of 274 C-39 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan supporting the building of more infrastructure by the beach (i.e. gas station, accommodations, bars and restaurants). A focus on enhancing the historic character of the area’s villages and hamlets would also help.  Make it easier for farmers to create food stands by reducing red tape  Develop the harbour in Port Burwell to handle boat traffic that can offload containers  Assess the industrial properties in the area and see how they can be used in more productive ways. There may be opportunities to develop properties with interest from small manufacturers.  Create more partnerships and collaboration opportunities with provincial Ministries, neighbouring areas, and regional organizations. More collaboration and cooperation needs to happen within the North and South parts of Bayham especially.  People moving away from big urban centres and moving into smaller rural communities. Bayham needs to grab these opportunities. People want better access to real estate and access to services. All about creating the infrastructure. What do you see as the most relevant challenges or barriers to economic growth in Bayham? A number of important challenges and barriers to economic growth in Bayham were discussed by interviewees:  No clear competitive advantages to moving a business to the industrial park. Tax assessments of industrial properties are too high (right now they are evaluated at the same price as London). Lowering the assessment would be a competitive advantage for Bayham.  Bayham residents do not have a lot of disposable income  A feeling that Council members lack business literacy and need to have more of a private sector perspective  Indecision of Council and staff on whether to do anything about proceeding with any type of industrial development  Lack of advertisement for tourism experiences. In particular, there is a need to better understand how to leverage the Ojibwa submarine (as there is potential for the submarine to be a national attraction). The area is unknown. People in Ontario don’t know what’s in their backyard.  Need to find a way to get more farmers involved in municipal economic developm ent since they are a huge part of the local economy  Distance from Highway #401 is a major barrier  Communities are spread out across the municipality making it difficult to travel from one community to the other. Getting visitors to those communities is a challenge.  Few winter activities/programs 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 88 of 274 C-40 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Retaining people in the community is an issue, especially a working age population that employers are looking for. Distance from urban areas and not having a lot of big employers in the area make this challenge especially difficult. Proximity to infrastructure is not there to encourage larger industries to the area.  Port Burwell needs some major attention in refreshing the town. Need to work closely with the conservation authority to do some serious planning on how to develop the lake front area, and get more accommodations and businesses in the core. The downtown of Port Burwell currently has a lot of vacancy.  The agricultural base is both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes the only thing people in the area think about is agriculture even though some diversification would help. The whole attitude towards developing the area is a challenge (i.e. there’s not a lot of support beyond the shores to develop the harbour).  Ownership of the harbour front lands is an issue. Little ability for Bayham to expand those lands into a tourist attraction because land is owned by individuals and individual companies. The harbour needs a lot of work.  US market is moving towards a “Made in America” mentality. This will affect agricultural exports and processing from Bayham. There isn’t a similar program in Canada. What are the three greatest opportunities to stimulate economic growth and business investment in Bayham in the coming 3-5 years? Three main opportunities were discussed by interviewees to stimulate economic growth and business investment in Bayham in the coming 3-5 years: Support for Business and Entrepreneurs  Look at how to revitalize the downtowns in the municipality. More than a facelift is needed but rather a focus on the by-laws to see how to encourage new business. Need to take on a longer term plan on how these small places can be refreshed and grow.  Bayham has people with ideas but that do not know what resources are available and how to access them. They need the right information that can help their businesses expand. Businesses need a point of contact in the municipality to help access all the different funding/grant programs.  Need to take a fresh look at the industrial properties that Bayham has and see if any of the existing buildings can be re-used or if land can be used in a different way. Industrial lands that are already zoned that are flat with the proper drainage offer the best opportunities to pursue industrial development, as well as encouraging smaller, dry industry that doesn’t need full servicing. There is interest is seeing more progress to be able to get small parcels marketed successfully.  The municipality needs an Economic Development Officer (EDO). The EDO at the County level doesn’t have the time to pursue business for Bayham. The area needs someone to attract businesses. Bayham’s communities could pool their resources together to hire an EDO. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 89 of 274 C-41 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan  Develop the Port Burwell harbour. Could help with both tourism and existing businesses with their shipping needs. Leverage Tourism Assets  Exploit and develop the assets along the waterfront (such as the Ojibwa submarine and the beach). Build on the natural features of the lake and develop the tourism infrastructure around the lake to cater to what visitors are looking for in a destination (i.e. accommodations, restaurants, experiences).  Need to have better advertisement of what’s available in the area. Leverage regional marketing programs more.  Want to create a naval history museum  Encourage the development of more tourism experiences (i.e. planning to offer overnight stays on the Ojibwa submarine) Agriculture  Need to take a long view of where the agricultural industry in Bayham is going. What roles can the municipality play to facilitate this process? Agriculture and food processing is the key sector across the region.  Find rationalizations for the local food economy – looking at developing a cottage style industry in food and value added product growth. Agriculture, agri-tourism, agrifood, anything to bring people to Bayham to buy goods at a higher value.  Agriculture land in Bayham is fertile. Should look at growing new specialty crops that have higher value. What additional resources are required to advance economic development? Additional resources discussed by interviewees are:  Improve waterfront experience and advertise tourism assets better. Currently the waterfront looks dirty and the beach needs cleaning. Take baby steps to develop local infrastructure at waterfront.  There is a lack of funding from all levels of government that is preventing the municipality from investing in the waterfront  The municipal website is poor and should be redone. Elgin County has a great website to use as a model.  Ensure there is an active economic development committee for the municipality  Additional resources for tourism could come from Elgin County and RTO 1 (through marketing and product development support) 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 90 of 274 C-42 Millier Dickinson Blais: Municipality of Bayham – Economic Development Initiatives and Opportunities Plan What opportunities are there for Bayham to more effectively engage its economic development partners?  Continued involvement in SCOR and the Elgin Federation of Agriculture  Need to lever the relationship with CFDC a bit more  Mostly a matter of reaching out and making more connections and communicating with potential partners. Be proactive and reach out beyond just Elgin County.  Bayham needs to identify what they want to do in their boundaries and then align that with their neighbours. There are huge amounts of infrastructure funds available from government but people need to cooperatively access them and not singly defeat each other. No lack of a dollar but how to use those dollars effectively. 7:05 p.m. - Lauren Millier from Millier, Dickinson, Blais re...Page 91 of 274 C o r r e s p o n d e n c e d a t e d O c t o b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 4 f r o m O n t a r i o G o o d R o a d . . .

P a g e 1 6 7 o f 2 7 4 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor & Members of Council Date: November 20, 2014 FROM: Paul Shipway, Administrator Report: F2014-033 SUBJECT: THE CANADIAN RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS INFORMATION AND NOTICE SERVICE -SERVICE D'INFORMATION ET DE NOTIFICATION EN RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS CANADIENNES (CRINS-SINRC) BACKGROUND: Pursuant to the Radiocommunication Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. R-2, the Minister of Industry is empowered with the exclusive authority and responsibility for managing the use of the radio frequency spectrum, including the approval of radiocommunications facility installations. Radiocommunications have long been confirmed to be within the jurisdictional competence of the federal parliament; the Canadian federal jurisdiction over radio broadcasting is under section 91 and 92 of the Constitution Act, 1867, 30 & 31 Viet, c 3. Under Industry Canada guidelines, as cited in Client Procedure Circular (CPC) 2-0-03, Issue 4 (2008), a proponent of a radiocommunications facility must consult with the local Land Use Authority to solicit comments pertaining to the effect of a proposed radiocommunication facility installation on land use matters. In cases where a Land Use Authority does not have its own consultation protocol in place specific to radiocommunications facilities, the proponent is compelled to follow the Industry Canada Default Protocol. Land Use Authorities, such as the Municipality of Bayham, are encouraged by Industry Canada to establish their own protocols to ensure the Municipality has an opportunity to evaluate proposed facilities and for staff to provide their planning expertise to the proponent and Industry Canada. However, at the same time, Industry Canada seeks to limit municipal and public input to those matters which it considers to be "reasonable and relevant concerns" as defined by Industry Canada in the CPC 2-0-03 guidelines. Adopting a protocol instead of the Industry Canada Default Protocol provides the Municipality with greater opportunities to be involved in suggesting preferred sites and permits increased opportunities for the community to become more knowledgeable about radiocommunication projects in areas that are closer to residential or historically sensitive areas of the community. The Canadian Radiocommunications Information and Notification Service -Service d'information et de notification en radiocommunications canadiennes (CRINS-SINRC), a thorough overview of which follows, offers an opportunity for more precise comments and increased opportunities for the public to be involved and comment during radiocommunication facility installation, while utilizing professionals whose singular focus is Antenna System Siting. CRINS-SINRC is a not-for-profit shared-service bureau, that for the Municipality to join would have no direct cost to the Municipality, and provides an alternative to the Industry Canada Default Protocol. DISCUSSION CRINS-SINRC is a not-for-profit organization providing a shared-service bureau that works on behalf of participating Land Use Authority members to ensure that proper notification and public consultation processes occur and land use concerns are properly communicated to Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 168 of 274 stakeholders during radiocommunication facility installations. CRINS-SINRC manages the processing of applications for radiocommunications facilities and ensures that public consultation, an example of which is attached hereto as Appendix 'A', is conducted according to the Land Use Authority's consultation protocol. Its members have complete access to all applications (exempt or non-exempt), existing locations (through CRINS-SINRC's National Antenna Information database), and consultation processes pertaining to radiocommunications facilities within their jurisdictions through the CRINS-SINRC website. Launched in January of 2012, CRINS-SINRC has 220+ member municipalities with 300 more municipalities currently considering membership. The staff at CRINS-SINRC are led by an Executive Director who reports to the CRINS- SINRC Advisory Board, which consists of representatives from each member Land Use Authority. If the Municipality adopted this process, Margaret Underhill, Deputy Clerk/Planning Coordinator, would become the designate Municipality of Bayham member. Each municipality has one common share in the CRINS-SINRC Corporation which is used to vote on corporate governance issues. The Directors of the Corporation, outside of regulatory compliance with Corporations Canada or Canada Revenue Agency requirements, have no power to act except under direction of the Advisory Board. As part of the services provided, CRINS-SINRC has developed a comprehensive Reference Protocol which members adopt and members then advise CRINS-SINRC of locally defined requirements to protect Community Sensitive Locations, and identify local preferences. Most of the CRINS-SINRC current members have adopted and given force to the Reference Protocol as is, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix 'B', while some jurisdictions such as the City of Fredericton, have made amendments to reflect the need to tightly control antenna siting in historical precincts and other sensitive areas. The CRINS-SINRC Reference Protocol also addresses the concerns over exempt facilities whereby proponents are required to notify the Land Use Authority of all facilities, whether or not exempt from public consultation, to allow Land Use Authorities the opportunity to ensure that sites are not interfering with Community Sensitive Locations. A copy of the CRINS- SINRC Notice of Facility Exception is attached hereto as Appendix 'C'. CO-LOCATION As previously noted, CRINS-SINRC has developed the National Antenna Information Database, a combination of Industry Canada, Transport Canada, and NAV Canada antenna data which CRINS-SINRC utilizes to verify the claims of the proponent regarding available co-location opportunities or lack thereof. Further, Industry Canada is firmly supportive of ensuring proponents are co-locating and if CRINS-SINRC suspect a questionable situation, Industry Canada has committed to assist in analyzing the situation as Industry Canada also has access to restricted sites (Department of National Defence, Royal Canadian Mounted Police) which at times have an impact on signal propagation. In terms of expertise, CRINS-SINRC administrative staff are all former site acquisition and real estate specialists. CRINS-SINRC also has legal counsel on staff for regulatory questions and engineering and technical staff to review the Safety Code 6, EMCAB-2 and co-location documentation. Further, CRINS-SINRC liaise with provincial staff as required for environmental and archeological land-use issues if need be. OVERSIGHT CRINS-SINRC oversight commences with the receipt of the application from the proponent. CRINS-SINRC manage the entire consultation process, including notification of the public. The public is notified by CRINS-SINRC according to the Reference Protocol consultation parameters, not by the proponent, so CRINS-SINRC can confirm to the Municipality who has been notified (all public packages are sent by XpressPost or courier with signatures Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 169 of 274 required). Secondly, any conditions in the Land Use Authority Recommendation Report is followed up on by CRINS-SINRC as part of a weekly review of files. As such, CRINS-SINRC job is not complete until all of the conditions are met, which is often months after an approval. The process at a high level is as follows: 1) Proponent submits an application and documents for pre-consultation review, and administrative staff ensure all materials are accounted for and complete; 2) If there are any omissions the proponent is notified immediately; 3) Once an application is deemed complete, it is reviewed internally by CRINS-SINRC and initial information is requested from the Land Use Authority; 4) CRINS-SINRC verifies that the site in not in a Community Sensitive Location as per the Reference Protocol definition; 5) If further information is required from the proponent to assist CRINS-SINRC in understanding their intent, CRINS-SINRC makes a request for further information or meeting within five (5) days of receipt of the application; 6) When CRINS-SINRC has all the needed information, a Recommendation Report is drafted for the Municipal designate to review. CRINS-SINRC works with staff to ensure concerns regarding the site are discussed and CRINS-SINRC provides recommendations for improvement of the site and issues to be addressed; 7) If CRINS-SINRC is satisfied that the site qualifies for public review, pursuant to the Protocol (assuming it is not an exempt facility with no mitigating issues), then the public consultation material package is developed and the public process commences. If it is a highly contentious site, CRINS-SINRC will work with the Municipal designate to arrange a Public Meeting if required; 8) When public consultation is complete, if there are no outstanding issues, CRINS- SINRC notifies the Municipality and provides a Notice of Completion or Notice of Facility Exemption along with the final Land Use Authority Recommendation Report for signature, a sample of which is attached hereto as Appendix 'D'. PROCESS AND FEES For the Municipality to become a member of CRINS-SINRC, Council would pass a motion to join CRINS-SINRC and authorize CRINS-SINRC and its staff to act as the Municipality's designated representatives for all radiocommunications matters and appoint a member of staff to the CRINS-SINRC Advisory Board. The second step would be the adoption of the CRINS-SINRC Reference Protocol. This would initiate and give force to the protocol for all applications within the Municipality. Finally, the Municipality would have to determine what the processing fee would be for applications. The CRINS-SINRC portion for 2015 is sixteen hundred dollars ($1600.00), and Municipal fees would reflect the following costs: 1) six (6) to eight (8) hours of designated representative time plus overhead 2) two (2) to three (3) hours of administrative time plus overhead 3) one (1) to two (2) hour of public works time (entrance permits, culverts, etc.), environmental, fire service, and other department input (usually a single meeting to get everyone's sign-off) Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 170 of 274 4) one hundred dollars ($100) of direct hard costs (copying, access of other systems, records, etc.) As such, if the Municipality were to join the program the total suggested fee would be thirty five hundred dollars ($3,500). CRINS-SINRC collects the combined fee on behalf of the Municipality when a proponent applies through the online system and CRINS-SINRC deems the application complete and ready for review and then forwards the Municipality the Municipal portion of the cost recovery fees.

All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. PART I – GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Introduction In January 2012, the Canadian Radiocommunications Information and Notification Service / Service d’information et de notification en radiocommunication canadienne (CRINS-SINRC) was formed by participating Canadian municipalities with a mandate to ensure that the public had access to information regarding current and proposed radiocommunications facilities and to provide information regarding the regulatory process through which these facilities are authorized and constructed. The Municipality of the County of Pictou became a CRINS-SINRC member and adopted the CRINS- SINRC Antenna System Siting Review and Consultation Protocol in February 2012. Participating municipalities have appointed CRINS-SINRC to process radiocommunications facility applications within their jurisdictions to ensure that affected landowners and residents have an opportunity to receive information and comment on proposed installations. The public is also encouraged to submit information to CRINS-SINRC that may be relevant to the design or location of such facilities which is then shared with proponents and the Land Use Authority (LUA). This information package is sent by CRINS-SINRC to all affected landowners within 3 times the height of the structure, as well as other interested parties who may request it. This document is produced for all facilities, not exempt from consultation under Industry Canada guidelines, in which a proponent is planning to install a new radiocommunications facility regardless of the type of installation or service. This includes, but not limited to: • Personal Communications Services (PCS); • Cellular operators; • Fixed wireless operators; • Broadcasting operators; • Land-mobile operators; • License-exempt operators; and, • Amateur radio operators. All new radiocommunications facilities are expected to follow a public consultation process to obtain a CRINS-SINRC Notice of Completion and the corresponding Land Use Authority (LUA) Recommendations Report. APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 174 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 4 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation. All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. 2. The Role of the Land Use Authority (LUA) The term “Land Use Authority” or “LUA” is used throughout this document to describe the body responsible for overseeing land use and development within a jurisdiction. In Canada, land use matters fall under provincial jurisdiction as defined in the Constitution Act, 1867 as well as the Constitution Act, 1982 and all subsequent amendments. Typically, the Provinces have devolved land-use matters and responsibility to the local level through municipal governments. In the case of Crown Land, land use is administered by Provincial Governments directly or by Federal departments and agencies. While radiocommunications facilities are considered a federal undertaking – being authorized under the federal Radiocommunications Act and overseen by the Minister of Industry – the installation of infrastructure such as towers, antenna mounts and supporting buildings to facilitate radiocommunications requires proponents to comply with both Provincial and Federal regulations. As a result, the Land Use Authority (LUA) follows a different review process for radiocommunications facilities than is used for other development proposals. This alternate process reflects the cumulative regulatory requirements of both the Federal and Provincial governments. LUAs typically evaluate all developments within the context of their Strategic Land Use Plan, with zoning and bylaws supporting or limiting the development of certain undertakings within the defined zones. In the case of radiocommunications facilities, these zones and bylaws cannot always be reasonably applied to these types of structures. Radiocommunications are considered to be “utility-like” in that they are considered fundamental infrastructure and their placement is dictated by engineering requirements which are not always compatible with LUA planning strategies. As a result, while zoning and bylaws are enforced for other developments, LUAs must use zoning and bylaws as guidelines only when considering a radiocommunications compatibility with the surrounding area. Instead, LUAs focus on working with proponents to have the proposed facility achieve a number of goals: 1) Reduce the visual impact of the proposed facility on the surrounding area as much as possible. 2) Ensure municipal services such as fire, police and public works are not adversely impacted by the proposed facility in relation to adjacent properties and structures and that the facility itself can be properly serviced by the LUA, as required. 3) Ensure that competent engineering resources have reviewed, or are committed to reviewing, the proposed installation design and operating parameters and have committed to compliance with the applicable Federal and Provincial regulations. 4) Ensure that appropriate federal authorities and co-operative agencies such as Transport Canada and NAV Canada are both aware of and in agreement with the proposed facility. 5) Ensure the proposed installation is not constructed in a way as to adversely affect a Community Sensitive Location. APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 175 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 5 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation. All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. As noted above, one role of the LUA is to protect locations of special significance within their jurisdiction. These locations are referred to as Community Sensitive Locations. Each LUA may have one or more such locations within their boundaries. A Community Sensitive Location is defined as being, under the relevant LUA legislation: 1) on or near a designated Heritage Property; 2) located in an area of Architectural Significance; 3) located in an area of Archeological Significance; or, 4) in a Natural Conservation Area. Where a proposed installation is to be located in a Community Sensitive Location the onus is placed on the proponent to justify the need for the installation and substantive community consultation is undertaken to ensure all possible other options have been considered in lieu of the new structure. Where a site will not be located in a Community Sensitive Location, the LUA will conduct a review of the proposed site and instruct CRINS-SINRC to conduct the public consultation according to the outcomes of the Antenna Siting Design Framework (ASDF) scoring system. This scoring system measures the perceived impact of a proposed installation based on planning criteria, and results in varying degrees of public consultation being recommended - dependent on the degree of impact the proposed site is expected to have on the surrounding environment. In most cases, the LUA limits its feedback to those issues pertaining to land use and the goals identified above. The LUA may or may not concur with the proposed facility, or may concur subject to compliance with a number of conditions with the intent to achieve the design goals. Any such conditions are outlined in the LUA Recommendations Report issued by the LUA and form part of the Public Consultation record. 3. The Role of Industry Canada and Licensing Wireless communications and broadcast operators in Canada are licensed by the Department of Industry (Industry Canada) in accordance with the exclusively federal jurisdiction vested in the Radiocommunications Act Section 5(1) (a) (i.1). Additionally, the broadcasting communication operator’s activities are licensed separately by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Some of the license types include: Amateur Radio Operators Licenses for Amateur Radio Operators are based on operator qualifications and power output levels. Although amateur radio operators usually only have a small number of sites, and usually on their own property, the amateur radio operator is still required to comply with health and safety regulations such as Safety Code 6, and comply with CPC 2-0-03 for public consultation. APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 176 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 6 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation. All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. Non-Licensed Frequency Operators Industry Canada has reserved allocations of frequency spectrum for non-licensed use. These frequencies are commonly used by consumer electronics such as cordless phones, baby monitors, and 802.11 or "Wi-Fi" computer equipment. Additionally, there are frequency allocations in the 9xx MHz, 2.4x GHz, and 5.x GHz ranges which are often used in fixed wireless broadband applications which has been used by internet service providers in rural areas of Canada to provide basic broadband services. Notwithstanding the fact that a license is not required for these operators, the operators must still comply with CPC 2-0-03 and conduct consultations for proposed facilities. Mobile Telephone Operators While licenses are not required for all allocations of frequency spectrum, those licenses issued to mobile telephone operators are issued to use specific frequency spectrum allocations and are bound by geographic region. The value of each license is determined based on characteristics such as population density, potential customer base, and commercial growth and is further based on the assumption of unfettered access to the customer base in a competitive environment, subject to federal laws. Implicit with each license is the ability to deploy the necessary equipment and infrastructure in the licensed area to make use of the frequency spectrum. A license granted by Industry Canada, and purchased by the proponent, entitles the proponent to deploy its communications sites within the license area subject to compliance with relevant federal regulations and laws. When Industry Canada issues a license, it puts the burden of proof on the proponent to demonstrate that it has satisfied all relevant regulations and any other conditions of their spectrum license for the construction and operations of a radiocommunications facility. These include, but are not limited to: • The National Building Code and National Fire Code; • Canadian Environmental Assessment Act; • Health Canada's Safety Code 6; and, • The Aeronautics Act. Additionally, all operators described above must adhere to the conditions outlined in the relevant Client Procedures Circulars (CPC) issued by Industry Canada. Specifically, CPC 2-0-03 (2008)1 discusses the siting of antenna systems – both freestanding and on buildings, and CPC 2-0-17 (2008)2 which outlines the requirement for mandatory sharing of structures between proponents. The five key components of CPC 2-0-03 (2008) indicate that proponents must: 1) Prior to the construction of a radiocommunications site, consult the relevant Land Use Authority (LUA) - this is usually the local municipal government, or the Province in the case of Crown Land. 1 http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf08777.html 2 http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf09081.html APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 177 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 7 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation. All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. 2) Consult the public prior to the start of construction. In the case where an LUA has a public consultation protocol defined, then the proponent must follow the LUA process. But in the case where a Land Use Authority (LUA) does not have an existing public consultation protocol, Industry Canada requires that proponents follow the Default Consultation Protocol3 outlined in CPC 2-0-03 (2008). 3) Adhere to the limits placed on electromagnetic energy (EME) exposure4 from radiocommunications site equipment as outlined in Health Canada’s Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz - Safety Code 6 (2009)- more commonly known as “Health Canada Safety Code 6”. 4) Obtain approval from NAV Canada for the placement of the site relative to aerodromes and navigational aids, and obtain lighting requirements from Transport Canada to ensure that structures are visible to aircraft. 5) In addition to the components above, CPC 2-0-17 (2008) –Conditions of Licence for Mandatory Roaming and Antenna Tower and Site Sharing and to Prohibit Exclusive Site Arrangements 5 outlines conditions which must also be addressed by the proponent related to efforts to co-locate on existing tower structures. Putting the burden of proof on the proponents means that Industry Canada does not maintain a proactive field audit program, instead relying on proponents to self-monitor their compliance with the above regulations, and directly investigates only in response to concerns or complaints from 3rd parties regarding non-compliance by a proponent or specific site. In the case of a public consultation for a new facility, Industry Canada is the final arbiter of disputes. Specifically, if a Land Use Authority does not concur with a proposal at the end of the consultation process, the proponent may appeal to Industry Canada to overrule the LUA’s decision. This is known as an impasse process. Industry Canada reviews the information from both the LUA and the Proponent and renders a decision as to whether the proposed site may be constructed. An Industry Canada decision at the end of the impasse process is deemed as final. 4. The Role of Landowners and the Public The purpose of consultation with the public is to explain the nature of the radiocommunications site, describe what the site will look like, and to answer questions and concerns from the public about aspects of the site such as access routes, noise or delays caused during construction, lighting and painting of the structure, and often to address health concerns over electromagnetic energy (EME) exposure. While many of the questions and concerns posed by the public are common questions and can be quickly addressed, local knowledge of the area allows the public to ask questions that may expose unique characteristics of the area surrounding a proposed radiocommunications site. These questions may give the proponent the opportunity to reflect on design choices such as the tower design or other visual amenity related aspects such as the type and color of fencing or vegetation around a structure. 3 http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf08777.html#sec4.2 4 http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-lignes_direct-eng.php 5 http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf09081.html APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 178 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 8 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation. All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. Two of the most prevalent concerns brought forward by the public regarding communications towers and antenna systems revolve around health and safety issues and visual amenity. Proponents are required to answer questions and respond to concerns expressed by the public during the consultation process. The timelines for posing questions/comments and the response timelines for proponents to respond are outlined in the LUA’s consultation protocol. Within the Public Consultation process, affected landowners - those landowners with property within a radius of 3 times the height of the structure as measured from its outermost point – are uniquely positioned to provide valuable feedback to the consultation process. Affected landowners have the ability to provide the proponent, LUA and CRINS-SINRC with information regarding site specific conditions, which may not be evident to LUA staff or the proponent, and issues which may be relevant to the construction of the proposed facility. Examples of information that are considered relevant and are sought from adjacent landowners include:  Undocumented waterways and water sources on or near the proposed site which may be affected.  Issues with the proposed access route to the site which may affect use by adjacent landowners.  Effects of the proposed site on adjacent landowners access to their own lands, or to access public lands or recreational land use such as hiking trails, lakes, waterways, etc.  Undocumented environmental issues such as chemical or waste disposal stored on site or adjacent areas. Depending on the perceived impact of the proposed facility, the public-at-large may be invited to provide comments and questions regarding the facility and in those cases the public consultation process is expanded to include residents within the local community of the proposed facility. If the proposed site is located close to a community common-use area such as a park or community municipal facility, the consultation may include a public meeting and Municipal Council meeting. 5. The Role of Transport Canada and NAV Canada A proponent is responsible to ensure that the location of their facilities do not interfere with the operation of aircraft in the surrounding airspace. This includes both approaches to aerodromes as well as ensuring that towers do not interfere with the navigational aids used by aircraft during flight. To this end a proponent submits two applications – one to NAV Canada and one to Transport Canada. NAV Canada determines if the proposed tower or site poses any risk to navigational aids or aerodromes, and if not, the particulars of the tower location and elevation are inserted into the relevant aeronautical charts and publications. NAV Canada issues a letter to the proponent indicating whether the site poses a risk, or whether there are any objections to the site being built. This letter is available to Industry Canada as part of a proponent’s regulatory undertakings. Transport Canada also reviews the proposed site and determines what lighting or paint markings are required on the tower to ensure the towers are visible to aircraft under differing conditions. These marking and painting requirements are outlined in Transport Canada’s Canadian Aviation Regulations (CAR) Part 6 APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 179 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 9 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation. All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. Standard 621 (Revision 12/31/2011).6 A letter is provided to the proponent that outlines the lighting and painting requirements for a particular radiocommunications site. It should be noted that proponent’s do not have the option to refuse to light or paint a structure when instructed by the federal Minister of Transport to do so. As a result, LUA or public concerns regarding the use of lights or flashing beacons are not within the control of the proponent as it is dictated under the federal mandate of the Aeronautics Act (1985)7. Moreover, it is a common misconception that the Transport Canada and NAV Canada applications apply only to tower structures - this is not the case: All radiocommunications facilities which are built either as a tower, or as an appendage to an existing structure or building (i.e. high-rise apartment, water tower, etc.) must make applications to both Transport Canada and NAV Canada and have their sites reviewed. While the building of radiocommunications sites on buildings is usually below the minimum operating altitudes of aircraft, the approaches to aerodromes, heliports, as well as the operation of navigational aids may be affected by these sites. It is therefore important that all proponents respect the need to obtain approval from both Transport Canada and NAV Canada prior to construction. 6. The Role of Health Canada A proponent is responsible for ensuring that all of their facilities are constructed in compliance with all health and safety regulations under the federal statutes of which radiocommunications sites must adhere. This includes Health Canada’s Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz - Safety Code 6(2009)8 - or more commonly referred to as “SC6”. A proponent’s obligations under Health Canada requirements are to ensure that all equipment used on a site, and its configuration, do not allow for exposure limits to be exceeded under SC6. To achieve this, the proponent obtains undertakings from their equipment manufacturers that the individual equipment components meet the requirements of SC6. During the site design the proponent conducts a site simulation to ensure that the cumulative effects of the equipment emissions in the specific configuration adopted in the design result in electromagnetic energy (EME) exposure that is less than the limits imposed by Health Canada when combined with other sources of electromagnetic energy in an uncontrolled environment. Each site design is then approved by a Professional Engineer licensed in the Province where the site is located, and the SC6 report is available to Industry Canada as part of its regulatory undertakings. There are a number of studies purporting that radiocommunications structures increase risks of certain types of illnesses and symptoms. Health Canada has the mandate and responsibility to consider these studies 6 http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/regserv/cars/part6-standards-standard621-3808.htm 7 http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/regserv/affairs-aeronauticsact-menu-90.htm 8 http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-lignes_direct-eng.php APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 180 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 10 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation. All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. and revise its guidelines and requirements in those cases where they feel these studies warrant changes to the regulations that proponents operate under. Proponents defer to Health Canada to establish proper exposure limits. Notwithstanding any of the above, the proponent is not responsible during the consultation process for proving to the public or the LUA that SC6 provides adequate protection from EME, nor disproving statements regarding possible health implications of EME exposure. Provided the proponent is compliant with SC6, Industry Canada does not consider these matters relevant to the consultation. Concerns of a health nature from the public or LUA can be directly addressed by Health Canada by contacting: Consumer and Clinical Radiation Protection Bureau Health Canada 775 Brookfield Road A.L. 6302C Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1C1 E-mail: ccrpb-pcrpcc@hc-sc.gc.ca Telephone: 613-954-6699 Teletypewriter: 1-800-267-1245 (Health Canada) APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 181 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 11 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation.

All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. The galvanized steel of the tower shall be left unpainted (grey in color). 9. Health Canada Safety Code 6 Guidelines Compliance The Proponent’s representative, Rob Seibel, P.Eng. (NS #9967), on behalf of Eastlink has attested that the proposed site shall be constructed and operated within the limits specified in the Health Canada guidelines for electromagnetic radiation emissions – Safety Code 6 - which has been adopted by Industry Canada for use with all radiocommunications facilities. The Land Use Authority (LUA), having satisfied itself that the above party is a Professional Engineer in good standing to practice engineering in the Province of Nova Scotia, therefore defers to the federal Minister of Industry to enforce compliance. 10. Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) The proponent claims an exclusion from CEAA Assessment for the proposed site under CEAA Exclusion List Regulations 2007 as per: Section Reason Schedule 1, Section 2, Part 5 (General) ► Does not result in a physical work with a footprint greater than 25 sq meters ► Is not to be carried out within 30 m of a water body except for fencing as per Part 14; and, ► Does not involve the likely release of a polluting substance into a water body Schedule 1, Section 2, Part 14 (Fence Construction) ► Does not interfere with the passage of wild animals; and, ► Is not to be carried out within 3m of a water body Schedule 1, Section 2, Part 20(1) (Radiocommunication Antenna) ► The antenna, its supporting structure or any of its supporting lines has a footprint of no more that 25 sq meters APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 187 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 22 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation.

NAV Canada Land Use Authorization NAV Canada has informed the Proponent that they have no objection to the site as proposed. A copy of the correspondence from NAV Canada is available on the CRINS-SINRC website at http://www.crins-sinrc.ca/. Search for CRINS-SINRC file number 1301-0216-2417. 13. EMCAB-2 (Electrical Interference) Attestation The proponent has made no statement with regards to anticipated electrical interference. 14. Mandatory Co-location Opportunities (CPC 2-0-17) The proponent has indicated that the closest co-location site is 11 km away (Bell Mobility Site J0020 – River John) and while the Proponent is already planning to co-locate on this tower, the proposed facility is intended to satisfy coverage objectives which cannot be achieved from the Bell tower alone. 15. Structural (Building) Codes and Regulations Review Radiocommunications facilities are constructed under the authority of the Minister of Industry. As such, these structures are deemed a federal undertaking, requiring Proponents to uphold the standards which apply to the construction of buildings and other infrastructure as if it were being constructed on behalf of the Government of Canada. As such, the Minister of Labour has adopted the National Building Code (NBC) amongst many other federal standards in relation to any structure built under enabling federal legislation. Part II of the Canada Labour Code ( http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/L-2/ ) and the regulations made there under, set out the rules that apply to all federal undertakings, or workers enabled as a result of their work on such undertakings, including, but not limited to broadcasters and telecommunication carriers.

All reproduction, distribution, or use for purposes other than those cited in this document are completely prohibited. The obligations include ensuring that all permanent and temporary buildings and structures meet the prescribed standards in the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations which apply to any federal undertaking. Section 2.2 (1) of the aforementioned regulations, reference the National Building Code as the applicable code to be used as the reference. Also included is the requirement for broadcasters and telecommunication carriers, when constructing towers, to follow the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, Division II, Section 2.19, which refers to the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standard CAN/CSA-S37-94, entitled “Antennas, Towers, and Antenna-Supporting Structures”. Legislation under HRSDC (Human Resources and Skills Development Canada) enforced by the Minister of Labour (who is one of the Ministers under the HRSDC portfolio) is responsible to enforce the provisions of the NBC and the CSA Standard, along with provincial legislation relating to the practice of professional engineering in each province. Darcy Gray, P.Eng. (NS #4087), on behalf of Eastlink, has attested that the proposed site design is in compliance with the above standards and regulations and has accepted responsibility to have inspected the facility to ensure that the methods and materials conform to the proposed design in all manners material to compliance with the above noted standards. The Land Use Authority (LUA), having satisfied itself that the above party is a Professional Engineer in good standing to practice engineering in the Province of Nova Scotia, therefore defers to the federal Minister of Labour to execute its responsibilities as noted above. PART III – PARTICIPATING IN THE CONSULTATION PROCESS 16. Antenna Siting Design Framework Scoring The Antenna Siting Design Framework (ASDF) is a quantitative scoring mechanism which assesses proposed installations by considering their design relative to the surrounding visual landscape. This results in 3 specific metrics:  A Visibility Score which provides a measurement of how visible the site is within the surrounding landscape (scored out of a possible 24 points).  A Design Compatibility percentage which scores the proposed site design in terms of its visual elements (structure type, antenna mounts, equipment shelters, antennas and cables) relative to the surrounding landscape.  A Degree of Visual Change calculation which assesses the visual effect of the site on the surrounding landscape. The Degree of Visual Change is utilized to assess the level of public consultation required for Non- Exempt facilities. The following score has been assigned to this site design: APPENDIX 'A' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 189 of 274 Public Consultation Information CRINS-SINRC # 1301-0216-2417 24 This information is provided for the sole purpose of conducting a public consultation with affected parties of the proposed installation.

submitted through CRINS-SINRC to a participating Land Use Authority (LUA) for the siting and construction of an antenna system, as well as defining the participating LUA’s expectations relating to the location and design of radiocommunications facilities. This protocol applies to any proponent planning to install a new or modify an existing radiocommunications facility regardless of the type of installation or service. This includes, but not limited to: • Personal Communications Services (PCS); • Cellular operators; • Fixed wireless operators; • Broadcasting operators; • Land-mobile operators; • License-exempt operators; and, • Amateur radio operators. All new radiocommunications facilities are expected to follow this process to obtain either a Notice of Facility Exemption or a Notice of Completion relating to the consultation and the corresponding Land Use Authority (LUA) Recommendations Report. 1 [Short Title: CRINS-SINRC Reference Protocol, Issue 2 (2012)] APPENDIX 'B' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 196 of 274 5 1 Objectives The goal of this protocol is to provide a framework which sets out the LUA’s expectations for appropriate design and satisfactory public consultation for proposed radiocommunications facilities. The objectives that implement this goal are: 1.1 Having regard for Industry Canada’s legislative authority in a protocol which also respects the context for development, and land-use mandate of the LUA; 1.2 Setting out a transparent, consistent, and predictable process for the evaluation of all radiocommunications facility proposals that: a) Establishes objective criteria and guidelines for evaluating and processing applications seeking LUA concurrence; b) Specifies the LUA’s expectations as to how new radiocommunications facilities are to be sited and designed in a manner that compliments the surrounding landscape and public realm; c) Defines a clear consultation process administered through CRINS-SINRC that requires proponents to engage and inform stakeholders about radiocommunications facilities; and, d) Develops a predictable timeline for issuing of LUA recommendations that incorporates early consultation to identify potential issues with applications in order to meet Industry Canada's timeline requirements. 1.3 Detailing the roles and responsibilities of the various parties in the radiocommunications facility consultation process; 1.4 Ensuring that the LUA’s residents and businesses are made adequately aware of radiocommunications facility proposals through education and public consultation; and, 1.5 Establishing an appropriate conclusion to the LUA consultation process, including specific outcomes and deliverables. APPENDIX 'B' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 197 of 274 6 2 Jurisdiction and Interpretation 2.1 Wireless communications and broadcast operators in Canada are licensed by the Department of Industry (Industry Canada) in accordance with the exclusively federal jurisdiction vested in the Radiocommunications Act Section 5(1) (a) (i.1). Additionally, the broadcasting communication operator’s activities are licensed separately by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). 2.2 As a federal undertaking, radiocommunications sites must adhere to all applicable federal regulations and guidelines, including but not limited to: • The National Building Code and National Fire Code; • Canadian Environmental Assessment Act; • Industry Canada’s CPC-2-0-17 - Conditions of Licence for Mandatory Roaming and Antenna Tower and Site Sharing and to Prohibit Exclusive Site Arrangements; • Health Canada's Safety Code 6; and, • Industry Canada's CPC-2-0-03. 2.3 Radiocommunications sites are not subject to either municipal or provincial land-use legislation including the Planning Act and /or Municipal Governance Act of a province or territory. No formal development or planning agreements can be executed and registered on title with respect to radiocommunications facilities. 2.4 For the purposes of this protocol, the Land Use Authority (LUA) shall be the municipal government, or in the case of land administered by the Crown, the relevant provincial government or federal government agency. 2.5 For radiocommunications facilities not excluded under Section 4 of this protocol, proponents are expected to satisfy the public consultation requirements of the applicable LUA. The role of the LUA is to provide input and comments to Industry Canada as part of that process. 2.6 This protocol is to be read in its entirety as a comprehensive and integrated policy framework to establish the site criteria and process leading to the issuing of a Notice of Completion or Notice of Facility Exemption, and a LUA Recommendations Report for a proposed facility. 2.7 For the purposes of this protocol, the only member of LUA staff having the authority to manage and exercise responsibilities under this protocol shall be the Director of Planning or his or her designate. No powers or privileges under this protocol shall at any time be interpreted to extend to any other member of staff. APPENDIX 'B' Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 198 of 274 7 3 Radiocommunications Development Plan 3.1 Annual Review 3.1.1 Proponents shall be invited to submit within 90 days of the adoption of this protocol and by September 30th of each subsequent year, a written Radiocommunications Development Plan (RDP) which outlines the proponent’s expected areas of infrastructure development for the coming year. 3.1.2 The LUA shall review each proponent’s plan and identify areas of common interest between proponents. The LUA shall host a meeting with all Proponents who submitted an RDP to identify opportunities for joint build and co-location pursuant to Industry Canada’s CPC 2-0-03 and CPC 2-0-17. 3.1.3 The LUA shall identify, as part of the meeting, areas of development and development applications within its jurisdiction where Proponents may have an interest in expanding their services. The LUA may facilitate discussion with land developers, and other interested parties, to allow the Proponents to consider infrastructure options during the planning stage. 3.1.4 Where feasible, the LUA may offer the Proponents an option for pre-approval on proposed facilities where a joint build option exists. 4 Excluded Antenna Systems 4.1 Basic Exclusions Industry Canada excludes a number of proposals from any consultation whatsoever with the land-use authority, its residents and businesses. The exclusions are as follows: a) The maintenance of existing radio apparatus including the antenna system, transmission line, mast, power, or other antenna-supporting structure; b) Addition or modification of an antenna system (including improving the structural integrity of its integral mast to facilitate sharing), the transmission line, antenna-supporting structure, or other radio apparatus to existing infrastructure, building, or other structure, provided the addition or modification does not result in an overall height increase above the existing structure of no greater than 25% of the height of the original structure. For greater clarity, Industry Canada extends this exclusion to radiocommunications facilities proposed to be attached or affixed to any building or structure, including a rooftop or support pillar; c) Maintenance of a radiocommunications facility's painting or lighting in order to comply with the requirements of Transport Canada; d) Installation of a radiocommunications facility used for a limited duration for a special event or to support local, provincial, or national emergency operations during that emergency, and is removed within three months after the special event or emergency; and, e) All radiocommunications facilities less than 15 metres (50 feet) in height.

submitted through CRINS-SINRC to a participating Land Use Authority (LUA) for the siting and construction of an antenna system, as well as defining the participating LUA’s expectations relating to the location and design of radiocommunications facilities. This protocol applies to any proponent planning to install a new or modify an existing radiocommunications facility regardless of the type of installation or service. This includes, but not limited to: • Personal Communications Services (PCS); • Cellular operators; • Fixed wireless operators; • Broadcasting operators; • Land-mobile operators; • License-exempt operators; and, • Amateur radio operators. All new radiocommunications facilities are expected to follow this process to obtain either a Notice of Facility Exemption or a Notice of Completion relating to the consultation and the corresponding Land Use Authority (LUA) Recommendations Report. 1 [Short Title: CRINS-SINRC Reference Protocol, Issue 2 (2012)] Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 234 of 274 5 1 Objectives The goal of this protocol is to provide a framework which sets out the LUA’s expectations for appropriate design and satisfactory public consultation for proposed radiocommunications facilities. The objectives that implement this goal are: 1.1 Having regard for Industry Canada’s legislative authority in a protocol which also respects the context for development, and land-use mandate of the LUA; 1.2 Setting out a transparent, consistent, and predictable process for the evaluation of all radiocommunications facility proposals that: a) Establishes objective criteria and guidelines for evaluating and processing applications seeking LUA concurrence; b) Specifies the LUA’s expectations as to how new radiocommunications facilities are to be sited and designed in a manner that compliments the surrounding landscape and public realm; c) Defines a clear consultation process administered through CRINS-SINRC that requires proponents to engage and inform stakeholders about radiocommunications facilities; and, d) Develops a predictable timeline for issuing of LUA recommendations that incorporates early consultation to identify potential issues with applications in order to meet Industry Canada's timeline requirements. 1.3 Detailing the roles and responsibilities of the various parties in the radiocommunications facility consultation process; 1.4 Ensuring that the LUA’s residents and businesses are made adequately aware of radiocommunications facility proposals through education and public consultation; and, 1.5 Establishing an appropriate conclusion to the LUA consultation process, including specific outcomes and deliverables. Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 235 of 274 6 2 Jurisdiction and Interpretation 2.1 Wireless communications and broadcast operators in Canada are licensed by the Department of Industry (Industry Canada) in accordance with the exclusively federal jurisdiction vested in the Radiocommunications Act Section 5(1) (a) (i.1). Additionally, the broadcasting communication operator’s activities are licensed separately by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). 2.2 As a federal undertaking, radiocommunications sites must adhere to all applicable federal regulations and guidelines, including but not limited to: • The National Building Code and National Fire Code; • Canadian Environmental Assessment Act; • Industry Canada’s CPC-2-0-17 - Conditions of Licence for Mandatory Roaming and Antenna Tower and Site Sharing and to Prohibit Exclusive Site Arrangements; • Health Canada's Safety Code 6; and, • Industry Canada's CPC-2-0-03. 2.3 Radiocommunications sites are not subject to either municipal or provincial land-use legislation including the Planning Act and /or Municipal Governance Act of a province or territory. No formal development or planning agreements can be executed and registered on title with respect to radiocommunications facilities. 2.4 For the purposes of this protocol, the Land Use Authority (LUA) shall be the municipal government, or in the case of land administered by the Crown, the relevant provincial government or federal government agency. 2.5 For radiocommunications facilities not excluded under Section 4 of this protocol, proponents are expected to satisfy the public consultation requirements of the applicable LUA. The role of the LUA is to provide input and comments to Industry Canada as part of that process. 2.6 This protocol is to be read in its entirety as a comprehensive and integrated policy framework to establish the site criteria and process leading to the issuing of a Notice of Completion or Notice of Facility Exemption, and a LUA Recommendations Report for a proposed facility. 2.7 For the purposes of this protocol, the only member of LUA staff having the authority to manage and exercise responsibilities under this protocol shall be the Director of Planning or his or her designate. No powers or privileges under this protocol shall at any time be interpreted to extend to any other member of staff. Staff Report F2014-033 regarding "The Canadian Radiocommunic...Page 236 of 274 7 3 Radiocommunications Development Plan 3.1 Annual Review 3.1.1 Proponents shall be invited to submit within 90 days of the adoption of this protocol and by September 30th of each subsequent year, a written Radiocommunications Development Plan (RDP) which outlines the proponent’s expected areas of infrastructure development for the coming year. 3.1.2 The LUA shall review each proponent’s plan and identify areas of common interest between proponents. The LUA shall host a meeting with all Proponents who submitted an RDP to identify opportunities for joint build and co-location pursuant to Industry Canada’s CPC 2-0-03 and CPC 2-0-17. 3.1.3 The LUA shall identify, as part of the meeting, areas of development and development applications within its jurisdiction where Proponents may have an interest in expanding their services. The LUA may facilitate discussion with land developers, and other interested parties, to allow the Proponents to consider infrastructure options during the planning stage. 3.1.4 Where feasible, the LUA may offer the Proponents an option for pre-approval on proposed facilities where a joint build option exists. 4 Excluded Antenna Systems 4.1 Basic Exclusions Industry Canada excludes a number of proposals from any consultation whatsoever with the land-use authority, its residents and businesses. The exclusions are as follows: a) The maintenance of existing radio apparatus including the antenna system, transmission line, mast, power, or other antenna-supporting structure; b) Addition or modification of an antenna system (including improving the structural integrity of its integral mast to facilitate sharing), the transmission line, antenna-supporting structure, or other radio apparatus to existing infrastructure, building, or other structure, provided the addition or modification does not result in an overall height increase above the existing structure of no greater than 25% of the height of the original structure. For greater clarity, Industry Canada extends this exclusion to radiocommunications facilities proposed to be attached or affixed to any building or structure, including a rooftop or support pillar; c) Maintenance of a radiocommunications facility's painting or lighting in order to comply with the requirements of Transport Canada; d) Installation of a radiocommunications facility used for a limited duration for a special event or to support local, provincial, or national emergency operations during that emergency, and is removed within three months after the special event or emergency; and, e) All radiocommunications facilities less than 15 metres (50 feet) in height.
