MUNICIPALITY G; iliiYHAl¡
It gives me great pleasure to call upon all Mayors, Chiefs, Re_eves, Councillors and community leaders from across
Cãnada to froclaim Restorative Justice wéek 20'11. fhe correctional service of Canada (csc) has been an
active partner in the restorative justice community for mor > than a decade and has been proud to provide
leadership to the annual celebration since 1996.
RestorativeJusticeweek 2ollwillbeheldincanada,andthroughouttheworld,fromNovemberl3th'20thforthe
purpose of sharing the concrete learning and results that have come from the growing experience of practitioners
and stakeholders in the application of a restorative justice approach and processes.
The theme this year is ,,Re-visioning Justice". This theme calls upon all of us to envision how a restorative justice
approach can be applied and implemtnted within existing systems. lt is a challenge to the health care systems,
educational systems, justice systems, correctional systems, and all other systems and/or levels of government, to
be creative and innovâtive in looking at 'justice' through a restorative justice lens.
Municipal recognition of Restorative Justice week increases from year to yeal ln2010, 378 municipalities across
canada proclaimed Restorative Justice week; an increase of 130ı/o from 2009. ln addition, the provinces of Nova
scotia, Manitoba, saskatchewan, and British ôolumbia proclaimed the week. Restorative Justice Week was also
celebrated in at least 19 other countries. This year, with your support, we hope to build on this success' Here are
some ideas of things you could do as leaders in your community:
. Declare / proclaim Restorative Justice Week 2011. We have included with this letter a copy of the
on our website:
;
. Host a town hall meeting to promote an awareness of how restorative justice is expressed in your
communities;
. Challenge your community partners to create a local planning committee for Restorative Justice Week 20'11
activities;
o lnvite a guest speaker from your community, who is involved in restorative justice, to share their perspectives'
should you require someone would like more information, please contact CSC's
Restorative Justice Division a 'Please fax a copy of the proclamation or the
minutes of the meeting dec ustice Week 20'11, as well as your contact
information, to (61 31 943'217'1.

To Mayors and Councils,
We are writing to ask that you and your Council endorse a day of recognition for the many people who work
providing "ur"
to children in your cornmunity. This year will mark the l lth Anniversary of our Awareness Day
which reiognizes the education, skills, commitment and dedication of Early Childhood Educators and Child Ca¡e
Staff.
The Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care (OCBCC), the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and our
other labour partners representing child care workers across Ontario are asking that Wednesday. October 26. 2011
be proclaim ed as Child Care úI/orker & Early Chitdhood Educøtor Appreciation Day in accordance with the
attached resolution.
Many groups are recognizedby way of Municipal Resolution. Such a day allows the community to recognizethe
work oi vaiious groups and to acknowledge the contributions they make in the lives of community members.
Many children, families and communities benefit from the work of child care workers. Child care also contributes
to the economic life of communities. Research shows the many economic benefits accrued from affordable,
accessible high quality child care. These benefits come from the number of people employed in the child care
industry and be"â.rse ihe availability of child care allows parents to work and to contribute to the economic life of
society,
Even if your Council does not issue official proclamations, there are many ways for your municipality to participate
in and Celebrate this special day. V/e ask your Council to sponsor public announcements, display our posters and
distribute buttons, Màny municipalities also organize events and contests for the day or have Councillors or the
Mayor participate in events hosted by child care centres within the municipality. A list of ideas and examples is
attached.
We hope that your proclamation of this day of appreciation, or your active support, will encourage and promote a
day of community iecognition for child care workers. Please fax the attached order to request posters and buttons
to help you raise awareness and celebrate.
Please advise us of your participation in this day of recognition so that we can acknowledge your community's role
in celebrating child care workel's across Ontario on October 26th. Please direct any correspondence on
proclamations and/or celebration activities to the attention of Kathy Johnson, by mail: CtlPE, 305 Milner Avenue,
Suite 800, Scarborough, ON MIB 3V4, ot'by fax: 416-292-2839.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Notice of Approval of Amendments to the MEA Class EA
Further to the attached e-mail of January 18,2011, the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) is pleased to announce
that approval of the amendments to the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class Environmental
Assessment (EA) was given by the Minister of the Environment on August '17,2011.
The approved amendments include the following two components:
1. An updated section 4.2.9. of the MEA Class EA - this section of the MEA Class EA sets out integration
provisions that allow project proponents to integrate approvals under the Planning Actwith requirements
under the MEA Class EA. By completing the requirements for EA and land use planning processes at the
same time, proponents can streamline their efforts and more effectively meet the requirements of the both
the EnvironmenúalAssessment Act (EAA) and the Planning Acf, Section 4.2.9 of the MEA Class EA has
been amended to include clarifications and enhancements that are intended to improve the usability of the
integration provisions.
2. Minor amendments - a series of minor changes to the MEA Class EA that include:
o a rescheduling of minor municipal activities that have localized impacts and which require other follow-
up approvals;. the use of an index to allow the cost thresholds which determine the categorization of road activity
projects to be adjusted on an annual basis;o the introduction of a screening process used to determine potential heritage value for bridge structures
that are 40 years of age or older; ando minor administrative changes, such as grammatical improvements to the MEA Class EA were also
approved.
Attached for your reference please find electronic copies of:
o The MEA's final submission to the Minister of the Environment; and. A signed copy of the Notice of Approval of Amendments.
These materials can also be found on the MEA's web site, which can be accessed at:
htto://www. m u n icipalclassea.cal
To assist EA practitioners and proponents of MEA Class EA projects as they transition to the use of the new
provisions, the MEA is developing a traíning and outreach program. Specifically, a webinar will be hosted by the
MEA's consultant, Delcan Consulting, which will provide an overview of the approved amendments, various case
studies to help explain the mechanics of the integration provisions, and opportunities for Qs & As. Details of the
webinar will be provided by Delcan Consulting when they become available.
Should you have any additional questions about the approved amendments to the MEA Class EA, please feel free
to contact me.

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
RE: Municipaf Class EnvironmentalAssessment (Glass EA)
Proponent: MunicipalEngineersAssociation(MEA)
EA File No.: EA-03-03-02-02
Having considered the purpose and provisions of the EnvironmentalAssessment Act and the
Class EA, the MEA's submissions, the MEA's public consultation and its response to those
submissions, I hereby amend the Class EA.
REASONS
My reasons for amendíng the Class EA are as follows:
(1) The amendments were prepered Ín accordance with the amendment provisions outlined
in section 4.1.5.2 of the Class EA.
(2) The MEA consulted with government agencies, EA practitioners, industry
representatives, interested persons and Aboriginal communities and organizations about
its amendments. The MEA has demonstrated that the amendments are consistent with
current regulatory requirements and planning practices and will provide for a more
effective planning process to deliver municipal infrastructure and servicing in a more
efficient and environmentally sustainable manner.
(3) The MEA submitted a record of consultation that outlines the results of the consultation
wÍth government agencies, EA practitioners, industry representatives, interested persons
and Aboriginal communities and organizations. The record of consultation indicates that
there are no outstanding concerns that have not been addressed.
(4) The amended Class EA process would allow for a more expeditious review of municipal
infrastructure projects while maintaÍning a detailed review of environmental etfec{s and
ensuring that a consistent provincialenvironmental assessment process is followed.
(5) The amendments to the Class EA will minimize duplication in planning and EA
requirements as well as unnecessary costs for private sector proponents while
maintainíng environmental protection.

CLARIFICATION
DAMS & WEIRS
ln Appendix 1(ii) Municipal Water and Wastewater Projects, under Wastewater Projects, projects involving dams
and weirs include:
Schedule A
13) Reconstruct an existing dam or weir at the same location and for the same purpose, use and
caPacitY;
Schedule B
19) Works undertaken in a watercourse for the purposes of flood control or erosion control which may
include:
. bank or slope regrading. deepening the watercourse. relocation, realignment or channelization of watercourse. revetment including soil bio-engineering techniques. reconstruction of a weir or dam.
25) Removal of an existing weir or dam.
Schedule C
10) Construct a new dam or weir in a watercourse.
The dams and weirs referred to in these sections are flow control structures located within a watercourse. Any
outfall structure at a wastewater treatment facility or sewage lagoon would be part of that wastewater treatment
facility or sewage lagoon and would not be considered a dam or weir within one of these sections. Stormwater
management facilities, whether located within a watercourse or not, would not be considered a dam or weir.
CLARIFICATION
SEPTAGE CLASSIFICAT¡ON
Septic tanks need to be cleaned out regularly. Normally the contents, septage, is removed by a truck. While the
septage is being hauled it is considered a waste product and subject to the associated regulations. However,
when the septage is off loaded, it is considered wastewater and holding or treatment facilities receiving the
septage need to be approved under the MCEA in accordance with the appropriate schedule definitions for
public/private sector proponents.

Section A.3.6 discusses consultation with review agencies. As stated in bold text in this section, "Other than the
agencies to be contacted in all cases (see below) indicated, only those agencies who are likely to have
an interest in the project need to be contacted."
ln particular, the Ministry of the Attorney General should only be contacted if the project is relevant to that
Ministry.
Appendix 6 contains a sample covering memo to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) Environmental
Assessment and Approvals Branch which is to accompany Notices of Completion for Schedule B and C projects.
All Notices of Completion should now be emailed to MEA.Notices.EAAB(@ontario.ca rather than the address
indicated on the sample notice. A copy must also still be sent to the Regional EA Planner/Coordinator.
CLARIFICATION
PROJECT IDENTIFICATION AND PIECEMEALING
Section A.2.2 describes Phase I of the Class EA process - identification and description of the problem or
opportunity. Proponents are reminded that in determining what the project is (i.e., the scope of the project) that
will be undertaken, proponents are not allowed to break down the project into its component parts or phases,
with each part or phase being addressed through separate studies. This would constitute piecemealing and
piecemealing ís prohibited. ln addition, proponents are reminded that the activity with the highest schedule
determines the EA requirements (i.e., if one component is listed under Schedule A, another under Schedule B
and another under Schedule C, the entire project is subject to Schedule C).
NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND THE MCEA
MCEA CONSISTENCY
As part of the next five year review and prior to the next reprinting of the MCEA, wording in the MCEA will be
reviewed to identify areas requiring change to reflect new requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002
and to include the concept of a drinking water system with multiple supply and/or treatment systems.
Also, to ensure consistency with the MOE Code of Practice, Preparing, Reviewíng and Using Class
Environmental Assessments in Ontario (2009), proposed amendments to the MCEA will include:
i) "Consultation Plan" will be changed to "Consultation Summary;"
ii) "Key Principles of Successful EA Planning" will be changed to "EA Principles"; and
iii) definitions will be added or amended as required.
ln the meantime, proponents are encouraged to note this proposed amendment.

A.2.9 INTEGRATION WITH THE PLANNING ACT
There may be circumstances where a proponent (including private developers) may have a
Planning Act application and Class EA requirements at the same time. For example, an
application for a plan of subdivision may trigger the need for a new collector road. When this
occurs, it may be desirable to consider the Planning Act and Class EA processes together in an
integrated approach in order to avoid duplication and ensure improved environmental protection.
This Class EA recognizes the desirability of coordinating or integrating the planning processes
and approvals under the EA Act and the Planning Act, as long as the intent and requirements of
both acts are met.
The types of Planning Act applications/documents that may proceed using the integration
approach include: an official plan, official plan amendment including secondary plans adopted as
an official plan amendment, community improvement plan, plan of subdivision and a plan of
condominium. Applications may be initiated by the municipality or by a private sector developer
or both as co-proponents. By completing the requirements for environmental assessment and
land use planning processes at the same time, proponents can streamline their efforts and more
effectively meet the requirements of both the Planning Act and EA Act.
Accordingly, for a project(s) that is subject to this Class EA and which:
Ð is one of the types of Planning Act instruments identified in section A.,2.9 of this
Class EA and which has taken effect under the Planning Äct; 4¡!
ii) the proponent has fulfilted the requirements of this Class EA as outlined in this
section;
then the proponent may proceed to implement the project.
It is the responsibility of the proponent to ensure that they have fulfilled all of the Planning
Act and EA Act requirements for their project as well as obtaining any other necessary
approvals or permits.
The option of using this integrated approach provides the proponent with increased flexibility to
streamline the Planning Act approvals and Class EA processes. It is the responsibility of the
proponent following the integrated approach to accurately reflect the requirements of the Class
EA process, including the consultation, notification and documentation requirements of this
Class EA, in the Planning Act application. The following sections outline the requirements for
the integration process and provide guidance to proponents on its use and applicability.
^.2.9.1.
Integrated Approach Overview
The integrated approach provides proponents with the opportunity to reduce duplication by
simultaneously complying with the Planning Act and Class EA processes, including
public/stakeholder notification and consultation requirements, technical reports and analyses, and
Correspondence from Ministry of the Environment regarding
"Notice of Approval of Amendments to the Municipal Engineers
Page 30 of 223
land use planning and environmental protection decisions. As noted in condition ii) above, the
requirements of this Class EA process still need to be met.
Isidebar]
If a proponent is considering whether to use the integrated approach
to satisfy their requirements under the Planning Act and this Class EA,
proponents are encourqged to notify MOE's Regional Office (Air
Pesticides and Environmental Planning Supervisor) and the Director,
EAAB and the applicable MMAH Municipal Semices Office of their
intention. Early notification is encouraged, but is not mandatory.
The integrated approach still involves the completion of the procedural requirements of this
Class EA based on whether the project is classified as a Schedule B or Schedule C project. If the
project is defined as a Schedule B project, the proponent must complete Phases I and 2 of this
Class EA. If the project is categorized as a Schedule C project, the proponent is required to
complete Phases 1 through 4 of this Class EA. All Class EA planning principles and mandatory
consultation requirements still apply.
Work completed by the proponent for each of the applicable Phases of this Class EA are to be
documented in a publicly available document to accompany the Planning Act application.
Documentation must be prepared in accordance with section A.2.9.4 of this Class EA and must
demonstrate how the proponent has satisfied the requirements for each of the Phases required to
be completed under this Class EA in completing their Planning Act application(s) (referred to in
this section ) and their respective requirements.
Under the Planning Act, decision(s) may be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).
The OMB is the administrative body to which appeals of the land use planning decision,
including the supporting infrastructure can be made. If a project has been appealed to the OMB,
the requirements of the integrated approach have not been met until the OMB renders a decision
allowing the project to proceed. As outlined in section 2.8.1 of this Class EA, a Part II Order
(PIIO) request may also be made to the Minister of the Environment or delegate. However, the
purpose of the integration provisions is to coordinate requirements under the Planning Act with
this Class EA. When reviewing a PIIO request, the Minister of the Environment or delegate will
consider the purpose and intent of the integration provisions.
A.2.9,2 Who Can Use the Integrated Approach
The proponent of a project using the integrated approach is the same as the applicant under the
Planning Act, whether the proponent is a municipality, a private sector developer or both. Two or
more municipalities and/or private sector developers may act as co-proponents.
Private Sector Proponent
Ontario Regulation 345193, made under the EA Act, designates private sector developers as
subject to the requirements of the EA Act if a private sector developer is proposing an
undertaking of a type listed in Schedule C and the undertaking involves the provision of roads,
water or wastewater facilities for the residents of a municipality.
Correspondence from Ministry of the Environment regarding
"Notice of Approval of Amendments to the Municipal Engineers
Page 31 of 223
Municipalities should not avoid their EA Act requirements through the use of conditions on a
Planning Act approval where the appropriate proponent for the work is the municipality.
Co-proponency
Two or more parties may have responsibilities under the Class EA process for the same project
(either diffe¡ent municipalities or private sector developers or a combination of two or more).
Where two or more proponents undertake a project for their mutual benefit, as co-proponents, all
terms and conditions of this Class EA shall apply equally to each of the co-proponents. In a co-
proponency that involves a private sector developer and a municipality, Class EA requirements
shall be those of the municipality, in cases where components of a single project fall within more
than one schedule, the more rigorous schedule shall apply.
Proponents may also change during the planning and implementation of a project. Initial Class
EA Phases may be completed by one proponent and following Phases may be completed by
another. For example, a municipality may use a Master Plan to complete Phases I and2 of this
Class EA process, while a private sector proponent, building upon the work completed by the
municipality, completes Phases 3 and 4 of this Class EA process through the standard Class EA
process or through the use of the integrated approach. If a proponent is relying on work
completed by another proponent to fulfill their requirements under this Class EA, the proponent
needs to ensure that the work that is being relied upon meets the requirements of section A.2.9.2
and that they are able to make use of the work completed by the other proponent. There may be
restrictions on the use of previous work by others (e.g., reliance or copy right).
L.2,9.3 Steps in the Integrated Approach
The following section provides a step-by-step guide of the Class EA requirements for proponents
planning a project using the integrated approach.
1) Identi$ the problem or opportunity
2) (a) Identifu alternative solutions to the problem or opportunity
(b) Carry out an inventory of the environment, including the natural, social, cultural
and economic environment
(c) Identiff the potential impacts of the alternative solutions on the environment and
any measures needed to mitigate those impacts
(d) Carry out a comparative evaluation of the alternative solutions and identiff a
preli m in ary preferred solution
(e) Mandatory Point of Consultation - notifu and consult with review agencies and
the public as described in section 4.3 of this Class EA

(Ð
(e)
Detenrrine the preferred altemative solution (project) based on the results of the
comparative evaluation and feedback received from review agencies and the
public
Key Decision Point - At this point in the process, the proponent must confirm the
applicable Class EA Schedule for the preferred solution (project):
. If the Project would have been defined as a Schedule B project under this
Class EA, then the proponent must:
o document the study process and description of the physical location
and dimensions of the project in a public document. Documentation
must be consistent with the requirements in section A.2.9.4
(Documentation) of this Class EA;
o issue mandatory notification (e.g. a Notice of Completion) to review
agencies and the public about the availability of the study
documentation for public review as well as the appeal rights under the
Planning Act; and
o proceed to Phase 5 of this Class EA below.
o If the Project would have been defined as a Schedule C project under this
Class EA, then the proponent must:
o Proceed with Phases 3,4 and 5 of this Class EA below.
Identifr alternative design concepts for the preferred solution (project).
Undertake a detailed inventory of the environment, including the natural, social,
cultural and economic environments.
Identiff the potential impact of the alternative project designs on the environment
and any measures needed to mitigate those impacts.
Carry out a comparative evaluation of the altemative project designs and identifu
a recommended project design.
Mandatory Point of Consultation - notiff and consult review agencies and the
public as described in sections 4.3,4.3,5.3,,A..3.6 and A.3.7 of this Class EA.
Determine the preferred design for the project.
Document the integrated approach, including the problem or opportunity,
alternative solutions, alternative project design concepts, preferred project
designs, preferred design of the project, consultation and decision-making process

using section 4.4 as a guide. Documentation must include a description of the
proposed project including the physical location and physical dimensions of the
project.
(b) Mandatory Point of Consultation (e.9. Issue Notice of Completion) - notiff
review agencies and the public about the availability of the study documentation
for public review and their rights of appeal.
Documentation and supporting technical reports must be provided to review
agencies as required. Section A.2.9.4 provides further inforrnation regarding
documenting the integration process.
5) Once all necessary Planning Act approval(s) have been obtained and the integrated
planning process as described in section A.2.9.3 is complete, the proponent may proceed
to implement the project. It is the responsibility of the proponent to ensure that they have
fulfrlled all of the Planning Act and EA Act requirements for their project and obtained
any other necessary approvals or permits prior to implementing the project.
A.2.9.4 Documentatíon
The Class EA documentation supporting a Planning Act application must be made available to
the public and shall include:
. a statement of the pulpose, problem or opportunity
o details of the planning process followed
o details of the consultation carried out
o existingenvironmentalconditionso alternative solutions and evaluation of its potential environmental effects
o the preferred solution and its effects on the environment
o the mitigation measures to be implemented
o cornmitments made during the planning process
(see section 4.4 as a guide)
Documentation and supporting technical reports must be provided to review agencies for their
review and comment as required. Where studies are necessary to support the decisions made, the
feasibility of the preferred altemative, and the conclusions drawn about environmental impacts
and mitigation measures, these technical studies must be provided to the review agencies at an
earþ stage in the integrated planning process. Examples include hydrogeological studies for
communal groundwater supply or a noise study for a new or widened roadway. It is further
recommended that proponents consult with review agencies early in the process to determine any
requirements and/or site specific information that should be provided in the relevant studies.
4.2.9.5. P roj ect Notíficøtíon
Under the integrated approach, mandatory points of contact and minimum notification
requirements remain the same as outlined in sections A.3.4,4.3.5.3, 4.3.6 and 4.3.7 of this
Correspondence from Ministry of the Environment regarding
"Notice of Approval of Amendments to the Municipal Engineers
Page 34 of 223
Class EA. Consultation including, notifîcation requirements, is the responsibility of the
proponent. Under the Planning Act, municipalities are required to issue Notices of Public
Meetings andNotices of Decision.
Concurrent tasks such as public meetings may occur and combined notices could be issued under
this Class EA and the Planning Act. \Mhile the content of combined notices will vary according
to the type of Planning Act application and the applicable Schedule of this Class EA, these
combined notices must, at a minimum, include the following:
. a clear statement that an integrated approach is being used;
o a clear statement that an appeal of the Planning Act application and related infrastructure is
to be made to the OMB and that a Part II Order request may be made to the Minister of the
Environment or delegate;
o infonnation about the municipal infrastructure to which this Class EA applies and the type(s)
of Planning Act approval being sought; and,
. required information that shows that all applicable legislative and regulatory notice
requirements under the Planning Act and this Class EA have been met.
In using the integrated approach, information contained in the notices may differ, based on the
specific notice requirements for the type of Planning Act process being carried out and the
Schedule of the Class EA project. These differences may relate to factors such as: timing;
distribution; content; fonnat; and author.
There are differences related to factors such as: ti-ing; distribution; content; format; and author.
Appendix 8 highlights some of the key considerations that need to be taken into account when
preparing combined notices, For example, public review periods differ for Planning Act and
Class EA processes. In the case of a Class EA, a Notice of Completion must be given and
documentation made available for a 30-day public review period. In the case of an official plan
amendment under the Planning Act, a copy of the application and related information and
material be available for public inspection at least 20 days before holding a public meeting.
When combining notices to meet the requirements under this Class EA and the Planning Act, the
proponent must ensure that both requirements are met.
For projects being planned using the integrated approach, once the Planning Act application
comes into effect under the Planning Act and the planning for the project has met the
requirements of section A.2.9 of this Class EA, the proponent is not required to provide any
further notice of the project under the Class EA.

A.2,9.6 Considerations When Using the Integrated Approach
A. 2, 9. 6. 1 Proj ect B oundøríes
Projects being planned using the integrated approach can include inf¡astructure that is located on
lands beyond the boundaries of the lands that are the subject of the specific Planning Act
application provided that the need for the infrastructure is triggered by the project being planned.
Correspondence from Ministry of the Environment regarding
"Notice of Approval of Amendments to the Municipal Engineers
Page 38 of 223
Any infrastructure extending beyond the Planning Act application boundaries must be directly
related to and required by the application(s).
For example, a Planning Act application for a plan of subdivision may have a requirement to
service the subdivision through a connection to an ofÊsite water tower or stonnwater
management facility. Another example would be if an extension to a collector road is needed for
a short distance beyond the area involved in the Planning Act application to connect the
subdivision to the existing road network. In this instance, infrastructure located beyond the
boundaries of the planning act application would trigger Class EA requirements for the
municipality. To ensure that municipal requirements under this Class EA are met, the
municipality has at least three options:
1. participate as a co-proponent in the integrated project and incorporate the off-site
infrastructure into that 5ame integrated project;
2. authorize the proponent of the integrated project to carry out the Class EA work for
the ofÊsite infrastructure on their behalf (subject to their approval) either as part of
the integrated project; and
3. carry out an independent Class EA for the off-site infrastructure.
When a project extends beyond the Planning Act application boundaries the associated
investigations and EA documentation also needs to extend beyond the Planning Act application
boundaries. Existing conditions and envi¡onmental effect boundaries, for example would need to
be expanded appropriately beyond the Planning Act application boundary.
As noted in section A.2.9.2, municipalities should not avoid their EA requirements through the
use of conditions on a Planning Act approval where the appropriate proponent for the work is the
municipality. Off-site infrastructure should only be a requirement of a Planning Act application
if the infrastructure is directly related to the project.
Notice for a project being planned using the integrated approach must clearly identiff all
inf¡astructure outside the boundaries of lands that are the subject of the specific Planning Act
application and the boundaries of the area of land affected by both the prescribed notice and the
proposed infrastructure itself. Recognizing that this may not be possible at the earliest stages of
project plaruring when the need for specific infrastructure may not yet have been determined, the
level of information included in the notices should increase as project planning decisions are
made.
The proponent must address all required Phases for the project under this Class EA, including
any infrastructure located outside the boundaries of the lands that are the subject of the specific
Planning Act application in the documentation required under section A.2.9,4.
A.2.9.6.2 Revisíons to a Project Planned Usíng the Integrated Approach
It may be necessary to revise a project that has been planned using the integrated approach due to
environmental implications of changes to the project or due to a delay in implementation.
10
Correspondence from Ministry of the Environment regarding
"Notice of Approval of Amendments to the Municipal Engineers
Page 39 of 223
Changes to a project can be made following the addenda procedures outlined in this Class EA
(refer to section A.4.l.l and 4.4.3).
A.2.9.6.3 Lapse of Títne
If a proponent planning a project using the integrated approach has fulfilled its requirements
under the Planning Act and EA Act, the project will be subject to the review requirements
associated with the Planning Act approval and not the time lapse provision set out in this Class
EA. The Planning Act does not contain an automatic review of an approval or an automatic
explry if a Planning Act approval is not implemented. A municipality may, however, include a
time lapse provision in certain Planning Act approval(s) (e.g., a municipality may provide a
deadline for the proponent to fulfill the conditions of a draft plan of subdivision) and/or seek
reconsideration of matters through its regular planning reviews.
Isidebar]
As a matter of good practice and to ensure its currency, municipalities
and private sector proponents should undertake a review of the
documentqtion prepared in accordance with section A.2.9'4 if the
infrastructure has not been constructed within ten years. The
municipality may also apply conditions to planning approvals to
require review of the documentation prepared in accordance with
section A.2.9.4 if the infrastructure has not been constructed within ten
years.
A.2.9.6.4 Consíderøtions
By considering environmental assessment and land use planning processes in a coordinated
approach, proponents can streamline their efforts and more effectively meet the requirements of
both the Planning Act and EA Act. However, a proponent is not required to follow an integrated
approach if both acts apply. Considerations need to be made by the proponent(s) regarding the
project schedule, timing of the Planning Act applications, completion of studies, public and
stakeholder interest and implementation target dates, amongst other factors.
It is also possible to terminate an integrated approach once the process has been initiated, if
during the course of the project, considerations suggest that two separate processes may be more
effective. Work undertaken prior to this decision does not need to be redone as it was undertaken
with the intent of meeting both acts. However, future work must still meet the requirements of
this Class EA and the Planning Act approvals process being used. If termination of an integrated
approach occurs following the announcement or public notification of a project having been
given, subsequent notices, or independent notices, shall be issued advising that an integrated
approach is no longer being followed.
A.2.9.7 Monitoring the Application of the Approach to Integrate with the Planning.A.ct
After proponents have completed a project using the integrated approach, proponents should
briefly summarize how a project has met the conditions in section A.2.9 (+/- 2 pages) and copy
this to MOE, Director, EAAB including copies of the mandatory public and review agency
11
Correspondence from Ministry of the Environment regarding
"Notice of Approval of Amendments to the Municipal Engineers

notices. Doing so will assist in monitoring the effectiveness and benefits of the integrated
approach.
The infonnation provided to MOE, Director, EAAB should include a description of:
o the Planning Act application that was integrated with the Class EA process
¡ how the requirements of the Class EA process were fulfilled with respect to the
appropriate Phase I through 4 requirements
o consultation undertaken, including copies of notices
o project documentation
Representatives of the MOE, MEA and MMAH will meet on an annual basis to review the
submissions received, any comments provided and to discuss the effectiveness of the integrated
approach.
4.2.9.8 Phase in Process
Changes to the integration provisions in the 2007 Class EA are intended to provide clarification
about how the process works. The fundamental steps in planning a project using the integrated
approach remain unaltered. If a proponent, based on the clarifications made to the integrated
approach, intend to give notice of changing from a standard Class EA process to an integrated
approach process, notification of the change in process shall be made to the public and
stakeholders involved in the process including MOE and MMAH. Notice of a proponent's intent
to change to the use of an integrated approach for a project may not be given if the Notices of
Completion for the infrastructure project has been filed or a decision rendered on the Planning
Act application.

Dear Sir:
The Municipal EngineersAssociation (MEA) is pleased to presentamendments to the 2007
Municipal Class Environment Assessment document for municipal projects.
ln 2006/07, MEA, supported by its Volunteer members, partners from the Transitcommunity
and the Ministry of the Environment, developed a series of amendments to address
comments from the five year review, to expand the scope and to improve the function of the
Municípal Class EA. The MCEA is a living document and further amendments are now
deemed appropriate,
As part of the Provincial Government's Ontario's Business Sector Strategy, sector
representatives identifíed a concern wíth MEA MunicipalClass EnvironmentalAssessment
(MCEA) Process related to the duplication of work between the MCEA requirements and
those under Planning Act processes. The MOE consulted with various municipalities and
requested the¡r input on the existing integration provisions. Municipalities indicated that
the integration provisions could be enhanced and clarified and suggested that recognítion
of priorplanning assessment could be used in the MCEA process to streamline proponent's
efforts and effectively meet requirements of both lhe Planning Acf and lhe Environmental
Assessmenf Acf. ln addition, several changes to the MCEA and MEA's ongoing monitoríng
has highlighted the need for revisions.
As a resultof these concerns, the MEA togetherwÌth the Ministry of the Environment (MOE)
proposed that changes to the MCEA. These changes were posted on the EBR Web site
for ¡nformation purposes and were the subject of a 45 day puþlic comment period (Jan 11,
2011 to Feb 25, 2011). The MEA has reviewed and addressed the comments received
during this period. The results of the consultation process and the 20'11 Amendments to
the 2007 Municipal Class Environment Assessment are attached.
MEA will continue to monitor the application of the Municipal Class EA process. We
welcome comments from the users of the document, so that it can continue to maintain its
releva nce and effectiveness.
Yours truly

SubJect: POSTED on EBR - Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Amendments
Further to the attached Minister of Environment's email sent August 2010, the Municipal Engineers
Association (MEA) and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) are working on changes to the MEA Class
Environmental Assessment (EA) that are intended to clarify the use of existing provisions in the MEA
Class EA that allow project proponents to integrate MEA Class EA requirements with requirements under
Ihe Planning Acf. Other amendments to reclassify project schedule definitions and clarify/strengthen the
usability of the MEA Class EA are also being considered.
The MEA Class EA sets out a process for municipalities and private sector developers to plan municipal
infrastructure projects. The MEA has submitted proposed amendments to its MEA Class EA to the MOE
for its final review and approval, The MOE is seeking comments from the public, government agencies,
and interested persons on MEA's submission through a posting on the Environmental Bill of Rights
Environmental Registry for a 45-day period ending on February 25, 2011. The MOE will ensure that the
comments and concerns received are considered before a decision on the proposed amendments is
made.

Subject: integration of planning & environmental requirements for infrastructure projects
ENVl283MC-2010-2943
Dear Ms. Pat Vanini, Regional Planning Commissioners, and Municipal Clerks/CAOs:
RE: Integration of Planning and Environmental Requirements for Infrastructure
Projects
Through Ontario's Business Sector Strategy, under the Open for Business initiative, the Ontario
Government has committed to work with the Building Industry and Land Development
Association (BILD), municipalities, practitioners and interested parties to implement a more
effective process for infrastructure proj ects.
We have set out commitments to integrate planning and environmental requirements for
infrastructure projects. By establishing an open and collaborative relationship between
goveÍrment and key business stakeholders, we will clarifr, enhance, facilitate and promote the
use of the integration provision in the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Class
Environmental Assessment (EA) and provide education and outreach support.
My colleague, the Honourable Jim Bradley, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and I
support the use of the existing integration process for the planning of infrastructure projects as
an effective tool for businesses and municipalities while maintaining a high level of
environmental protection. Under the MEA Class EA, proponents carrying out a municipal
project are able to take advantage of an integration provision that allows the relevant assessment
work conducted during planning processes to be considered during an environmental
assessment. By combining environmental assessment and land use planning requirements into a
single process, proponents can streamline their efforts and more effectively meet the
requirements of both the Planning Act and Environmental Assessment Act.
Further, the Ontario Government is enhancing this integration provision to update, clariff and
provide a more effective tool for proponents to use when planning municipal projects. The
enhanced, integrated process would recognize the inter-relationships among economic,
environmental and social factors that are currently considered through existing planning
processes. The Government of Ontario promotes the use of integrated land use planning and
environmental assessment to develop strong communities, a clean healtþ environment and a
strong economy.
Sincerely,
John Gerretsen
Minister

close of July 8th, and that 5 or 6 tenders had been received. No award has
been announced to date, but the range of tenders was from approximately
$600,000 to $1.9 million. [n response to questions, K. Kruger noted that not
all agency approvals are in place, but the engineer continues to be in contact
with those agencies.
Further to the Ojibwa project, it was noted that the agreement of purchase and
sale with the Elgin Military Museum had been approved, and that IBI was
continuing with works for the EMM for lot grading details and that planning
reports for Bayham had just been received.
R. Bradfield advised of contact from Dundee Energy seeking information on
the Municipalities long term plans for harbour maintenance/dredging. It was
suggested they need a plan in place to move forward with any participation.
There was discussion of alternate plans for dredging this year pending
completion for Ojibwa, and the need for works, likely prop washing, in spring
of 2012. It was suggested that Dundee be advised of the current consideration
for acquisition of a dredge and requested to indicate their commitment level.
There was also discussion regarding the establishment of a Harbour
Commission and the steps/legal processes required. It was suggested that
members could discuss details of such with other area Commissions. It was
agreed that the Chair would an.ange contacts with a couple area Commissions
to try to obtain documents that provide their mandate/terms of reference. It

4. Dredging:
DREDGE UPDATE: Ian Raven reported that EMM will not be dredging this
year since they must coordinate dredging with the sub's a¡rival to Pt.Burwell,
which has been posþoned till20l2. Therefore the new plan is to begin
dredging in July of 2012.It is lan's understanding that the approvals for
dredgrng had all been obtained for this year. G. Underwood spoke to Dundee
Energy who expressed their desire to return operations to Pt.Burwell once
dredging had been done and steps to maintain harbour were intended. In
regards to our regular maintenance dredging, it was moved by R.Talbot and
$10.000 ofprop washing in spring 2012 and that K.Krugerproceed with
necessary approvals for spring. Motion Carried.
5. Grants \üorkgroup Update: No report.
6. Other Business:
Ojibwa Update: Ian Raven reported that the new plan is to transport the
Ojibwa to Hamilton before the end of September and proceed with preparing
the cradle site. The Ministry of National Defence is being encouraged by
many to prepare a 'conditional release' of the sub so that CAF funding can be
released. This posþonement of Ojibwa's arrival gives all involved parties
more time to complete their respective t¿sks with less risk. A recent surge of
media coverage has assisted their efforts since the Minister ofND has
received copies of the articles. As well, the Ministry of Tourism has begun to
take a keener interest in the project.

Other Business Continued:
B eøch Maíntenønce : T abled pending councillor Southwick' s input.
Port Authoríty Option' Earle Shea reported investigating the option for Pt.
Burwell to appoint a Port Authorityunder Small Craft Harbours. Using the
SCH website he learned the background then had a lengthy telephone
conversation with Mark Sandeman, who is our senior a¡ea clients officer, with
headquarters in Burlington. Mark suggested that K.Kruger has lots of
knowledge based on his involvement in past dealing with SCH. However he
did say that it was his opinion that Pt.Burwell would never qualify to establish
a Port Authority since there are no public lands attached to our port, only the
pier that is municþally owned. V/ithout public ownership of the harbour lands
(owned by Dundee Energy and Jack Spence) there is no way to create
commercial fishing revenue for the Port AuthoritS which is a major criteria.
Busíness Planfor Harbour Mønagement Assocíation: Since it is now
obvious that a port authority is not obtainable, a discussion ensued on what
other options might be available. It was agreed that a sustainable business plan
was needed to prove if and how the harbour could manage itself and finance
itself without tax dollars. It was acknowledged that we have the benefit of an
up-to-date EA report on the lands east of the creek and an engineers rqlort on
the pier. A few members agreed to investigate what other small ports are
doing and report back.
Pìer Redevelopment: It was agreed that we need a master plan, complete with
scheduled deadlines. This is a high priority for this committee and should not
be abandoned. We currentlyhave only one design & quote for the Cabana
structure. We need another before a decision can be made.
Commíttee MembershÞ.'This committee's mandate allows for 2 more
me,nrbers. It was moved by R.Bradfield and seconded by R.Talbot that Earle
Shea and Glen Underwood be recommended to Bayham Council for
appointment to the Harbourfront Committee. Motion Carried.

operation to 10:00 am - 5:30 pm. B.Hickey volunteered to build a portable
wheelchair ramp for the museum door. In regards to non-paying visitors
using the washroom at the museum, it was decided to allow it for now as it
is good for public relations. W'e have confirmed with the Village of
Pt.Rowan that theymayhave a free tour of the Marine Museum &
Lighthouse for 40-50 adults on Sept.l0, 2011 between l:30 - 4:00 pm
during their Road Rally. Also the Aylmer Express has organized a bicycle
Road Rally of 3 Lake Erie ports on Aug.20, 20ll and theyhave requested
free tours of the museum & lighthouse. B.Hickey and C.Buchanan
volunteered to assist with the tour. Ontario Hydro as part of an
improvement progr¿rm has changed all of the lights in the museum.
However, this has resulted in 8 repairs to the fixture ends ($500 + ) and
the destruction of our former UV filtration systøn, which will now have to
be restored at further cost to our budget. It was suggested that better
communicationbetween the municþal staff and this commiffee could
have prevented this damage and expense.

newspaper article announcing the surrender of Japan plus a rusty
Canadian army helmet have been oflered to our museums. Since
neither of these items has any direct connection to Bayham, nor

At the July 20, 2011 meeting, the Elgin Group Police Services. Board supported the
attached resolut¡on, with the exoeption of the following paragraph:
?nd whereas the Provincial government continues to appoint their own specially
selected "political" members to our local Police Seruices Boards yet has even faited to
communicate with this Provincially legislated body on the aforementioned salary/wage
increases or the contrac.t details which contain other cost implications."
The Elgin Group Police Seruices respectfully disagrees with this clause of the resolution
and supports the role of ProvincialAppointees on Polico Services Boards.
Please aocept this modified resolution of supporl as the Elgin Group's offlcial posilion on

Subject: Lyme disease petition and awareness
Attn: Clerk;
My name is Ch¡istine Heffer. I am a resident of Ontario. I am writing this letter to ask the council
to endorse the Lyme disease petition set forth by Bob Bailey of Sarnia Lambton and to help raise
awareness about Lyme disease in the Province of Ontario. I am unable to come in person to the
council to present a formal delegation but I would like to have this issue brought to the council's
attention.
Lyme disease is the fastest growing infectious disease inNorth America with an estimated
400000 people contracting the disease this year alone. Lyme disease is spreading at arate of 7X
that of AIDS. Here in Ontario the Chief Medical Office¡ sent a letter in 2010 to all the physicians
stating that Lyme disease cases and the black legged tick that carries the bacteria were increasing
in Ontario especially southem Ontario. A recent study reported that migrating birds are
transmitting ticks by the millions into Canada resulting in the ability to contract Lyme disease
anywhere in this country.
The public is generally unaware of Lyme disease and the affect it can have on the body . Late
stage Lyme disease is similar to having AIDS. The Lyme bacteria suppress your immune system
just like HIV. I take 54 pills a day to try and fight this infection possibly for the rest of my life.
This is a public health threat yet the provincial govemment is doing little to warn the public about
a deadly bacterial infection that can be contracted in their own bacþard. In fact the government
is down playing the risk. Citizens of Ontario are becoming incapacitated by a tick bite due to the
lack of public education.
I was misdiagnosed for four years and underwent many tests, procedures and even a major
surgery do to the faulty Lyme disease testing and general lack of know about this disease in the
medical community and the provincial government's belief that Lyme disease is rare in Ontario.
I was tested three times for Lyme disease and was told I didn't have the disease. I finally figured
out what was wrong myself and went to my family physician who knew nothing about this
disease. I have seen many specialists and the lack of knowledge about this disease has been
astounding. I am only one of thousands of Canadians who have contracted Lyme disease in this
county and we all have experienced the same ignorance by the medical community about this
disease.
As I stated before the testing is poor. Here in Ontario we use a2 tiercdtesting system. The lst
tier is the ELISA test. This test has been shown in numerous scientific studies to be inaccurate
over 50%o of the time yet people are being told they do not have Lyme disease based on this test.
Lyme disease is supposed to be a clinical diagnosis yet our physicians are not educated in the
clinical presentation of this disease or the other tick bome illnesses that one can cont¡act from a
tick bite. Very little is taught in medical school about tick borne diseases.
Since the medical community lacks education on Lyme disease, treatment options are not
available in this province. Presently if a person contracts Lyme disease he will probably be
misdiagnosed since the physicians are not familiar with the disease. If you miss the acute form of

the disease a person develops late stage Lyme disease which there is no treatment options in
Ontario. The only option is to seek treatment in the US and to pay for it yourself. We have
people in Ontario many of them children being denied medical care in Ontario for this infectious
disease. If left untreated Lyme disease will make a person bedridden and can kill.
The petition asks the provincial government to provide better testing which is available, a wide
scale public education program, education for our physicians and treatment options for those of
us fighting for our lives from the bite of a bug. I hope that after learning about Lyme disease that
the council will endorse the Lyme disease petition on behalf of the citizens in your community
but even more important than that my hope is that after learning about Lyme disease the council
members will educated families, neighbours and friends about this insidious disease. We are all
at risk and this disease can happen to anyone. I have attached an information packet including the
petition.
Sincerely;

Abstract We investigated the influence of assay choice on
the results in a two-tier testing algorithm for the detection of
anti-Borrelia antibodies. Eighty-nine serum samples from
clinically well-defined patients were tested in eight different
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) systems
based on whole-cell antigens, whole-cell antigens supple-
mented with VlsE and assays using exclusively recombinant
proteins. A subset of samples was tested in five immuno-
blots: one whole-cell blot one whole-cell blot supplemented
with VlsE and three recombinant blots. The number of IgM-
and/or IgG-positive ELISA results in the group of patients
suspected of Borrelia infection ranged from 34 to 59Yo. The
percentage of positives in cross-reactivity conhols ranged
from 0 to 38o/o. Comparison of immunoblots yielded large
differences in inter-test agreement and showed, at best a
moderate agreement between tests. Remarkably, some
immunoblots gave positive results in samples that had been
tested negative by all eight ELISAs. The percentage of
positive blots following a positive ELISA result depended
heavily on the choice of EllSA-immunoblot combination.
We conclude that the assays used to detect arfti-Borrelia
antibodies have widely divergent sensitivity and specificity.
The choice of EllSA-immunoblot combination severely
influences the number of positive results, making the
exchange of test results between laboratories with different
methodologies hazardous.

Introduction
Lyme disease is caused by Botelia spp. In Europe,
infection is mostly caused by B. afzelíi and B. garinii,
while in the United States, B. burgdoderi sensu stricto is
the causative agent []. Lyme disease manifests in a myriad
of clinical ways, including erythema migrans, arthritis,
carditis and neuroborreliosis []. Exhacutaneous Lyme
disease requires laboratory confirmation by culture, poly-
merase chain reaction (PCR) or antibody determination [2,
3]. Culture is only available in a limited number of
laboratories, and the value of PCR in the diagnosis of
various forms of Lyme disease is of limited use [2, 3].
Therefore, serological assays are the main method used to
diagnose extracutaneous forms of Lyme disease.
Current guidelines for the diagnosis of Lyme disease
include a two-tier testing algorithm [2, 3]. First, an enzyme-
linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is performed, fol-
lowed by the confirmation of positive ELISA results with
an immunoblot. This two-step procedure was initiated
because first-generation ELISAs for the detection of anti-
Borrelia antibodies lacked specifrcity. The inclusion of a
second, more specific, serological method made it possible
to exclude false-positive ELISA samples [2, 4].
Many diagnostic assays are currently commercially
available, and manufacturers have developed them to
increase their sensitivify and specificity. During the last
decade, assays using a peptide from the sixth invariant
region (C6) of the variable major protein-like sequence-
expressed (VlsE) of B. burgdorferi have been shown to be
promising [5, 6]. Laboratories can choose between ELISAs
and immunoblots using sonicated whole-cell antigens,
whole-cell antigens combined with recombinant antigens
(VlsE C6 peptide) and exclusively recombinant antigens.
Due to this array of serological tests, there are an almost

indefinite number of possible combinations between ELISA
and immunoblot in a two-tier testing scheme. Comparing
atti-Borrelia test results between laboratories and studies
may be impossible if tests with widely diverging sensitiv-
ities and specificities are used [7].
The aim of the present study was to compare a wide
range of ELISA assays and immunoblots, based on either
whole-cell or recombinant antigens, for detecting anti-
Borrelia antibodies. We also aimed to investigate the
influence of assay choice on results in a two-tier testing
algorithm (ELISA followed by immunoblot). Therefore, we
tested serum samples in eight ELISA systems and five
immunoblots, covering the entire spectrum of native and
recombinant antigens.
Patients and methods
Patients
Serum samples were selected from 89 clinically well-
defined individuals. Fifty-nine samples were from patients
suspected of Borrelia infection (skin manifestations, ¿:8;
neurological symptoms, n:26; anhritic symptoms, n:11;
ocular symptoms, n=4; otheg z:10). Fourteen samples
were from healthy controls and 16 came from patients with
a high possibility for cross-reacting antibodies (syphilis
patients, n=10; Mycoplasma pneumonia-infected patients
based on symptoms consistent with M. pneumoniae
infection and a positive result for anti-M. pneumoniae
IgM and IgG with a Virior/Serion ELISA , n:6).
Methods
Serum samples were tested in eight different ELISA systems.
Three assays were based on sonicated whole-cell antigens
(Diacheck/lvlorat anti-Borreliø, VIDAS and Virion/Serion
ELISA Classic Borrelia burydoder), three assays with
sonicate whole+ell antigens supplemented with VlsE for
IgG anti-Borrelia antibodies @ade Behring Enzygnost Lyme
link VlsE, Euroimmun Anti-Bonelia plus VlsE ELISA and
Genzyme Virotech Borrelia aÈelii+VlsE ELISA) and two
assays using recombinant proteins (Immunetics C6 Lyme
ELISA Kit and Mikrogen recomWell Borrelia). A subset of
samples from 3l patients suspected of Borrelia infection
woro olso tostod in fivo difforont immunoblots. This group
consisted of the following patients: skin manifestations, ¡r:3;
neurological symptoms, n=15; arthritic symptoms, n:6;
ocular symptoms, rl :2; other, ¡¿:5. One whole-cell blot
(home-made using B. afzelü strain 439 cell sonicate,
RIVM), one whole-cell blot supplemented with VlsE
(Viramed Borrelia "MiQ"+VlsE ViraBlot) and three recom-
binant blots (Euroimmun Euroline-RN-AT, Mikrogen recom
â Spring.r
Line Boruelia and Genzyme Virotech Borrelia Europe Line).
A total of 3l samples were tested in all immunoblots.
Manufacturer-suggested cut-off levels and interpretation
criteria were used for the ELISAs and immunoblots.
Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version
16.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
Results
As expected, there was considerable discordance between
the eight ELISAs. We tested 89 samples from patients and
controls on all eight ELISAs. Of the complete set of serum
samples, 35189 (39%) were negative in all assays, while l6l
39 (lS%) were positive in all assays. The remaining 38/89
(43%) samples were positive in one to seven ELISAs.
In the 59 patients that were suspected of Borrelia
infection, we observed a wide range of positive results,
with percentages of positive ELISAs varying between 34
and 6lYo (Table l). We did not observe a relation between
the fraction of positive results and the nature of antigen
used for the ELISA. The specificity of the ELISAs also
varied widely. Although we had only small numbers of
positive tests in healtþ controls, some ELISAs produced
up to 38% of positive tests in the cross-reactivity group
(syphilis and M. pneumonia-infected patients).
We aggregated results from the IgM and IgG tests and
assessed them using a kappa statistic to determine agree-
ment between the ELISAs. The kappa values ranged from
0.41 (moderate agreement) to 0.79 (substantial to good
agreement), emphasising the differences between the
ELISAs (Table 2). The choice of antigen does not seem to
influence the level of agreement. Even the lowest kappa
values were observed between two 'whole-cell+VlsE'
ELISAS (0.43).
We tested a subset of 31 serum samples from patients
suspected of Boruelia infection in all five immunoblots.
Samples were from patients with positive and negative
ELISA results, allowing us to investigate the specificity of
the immunoblots. In general, we observed a much lower
agreement for the immunoblots than for the ELISAs. Kappa
values ranged from 0 þoor agreement) to 0.84 (good
agreement), indicating that, for many samples, the outcome
of the immunoblot is highly dependent on the choice of
manufacturer (Table 3). Inter-blot agreement was disap-
pointingly low for IgM and much higher for IgG (Tahle 1)
Interestingly, recombinant blots did not have a higher
agreement than whole-cell blots, and there was limited
agreement even between recombinant blots. The highest
agreement was for the home-made whole-cell blot with the
Mikrogen recombinant blot. Additional analysis on the
individual band level revealed similarly poor agreement,
even in immunoblots containing recombinant antigens.

When performing eight different ELISAs and five
different blots, there are 40 possible ELISA-blot combina-
tions. Thirty-one samples were tested in all 40 combina-
tions. A score of 0 indicates a negative result in all ELISAs
and all blots, while a score of 40 indicates a positive result
in all ELISAs and all blots. A score between 0 and 40
indicates that not all possible combinations yielded a
positive result (i.e. disagreement between various ELISA-
blot combinations). Of this small sample cohort, 20131
(65%) had. either a score of 0 or 40, indicating perfect
agreement, irrespective of the ELISA-blot combination
used. Discordant interpretations were generated in the other
35%o of samples.
The influence of assay choice is further illustrated by
investigation of the relationship between each ELISA and
the fraction of positive blots. Surprisingly, we found anti-
Borrelía immunoblot reactivity in samples that were
negative in all eight ELISAs. These are samples that
normally would not have been tested in immunoblots.
Again, this was not dependent on the nature of the antigen
used for the immunoblot. For the Euroimmun immunoblot,
4/ll (36%) of the EllSA-negative samples were blot-
positive. Some immunoblots also seem to lack sensitivify,
since samples that were positive in six to all eight of the
tested ELISAs remained negative in all immunoblots. Some
of these samples were from Lyme disease patients with a
short duration of symptoms, confirming that ELISAs may
have a higher sensitivity than immunoblots during the early
phase ofa Borrelia infection.
For some ELISA-blot combinations, only about half of
the El-lSA-positive samples could be confirmed by
immunoblot (e.g. VIDAS ELISA-Virotech immunoblot,
Table 4). The quality of the other ELISAs was so high that
the majority of EllSA-positive samples were confirmed
with imrnunoblots (e.g. Diacheck/lvloran and Enzygnost
ELISAs). When taking into account the lack of specificity
of a number of the immunoblots, it is clear that the
combination of a non-specifrc ELISA with a non-specific
blot will lead to a high fraction of presumably false-positive
test results.
The ELISA test value is the final factor influencing the
fraction of positive confirmatory blots. Figure I depicts an
example-values for the VIDAS and Immunetics C6 Lyme
ELISA according to the immunoblot results of a whole-cell
blot (home-made) and a recombinant blot (Mikrogen). For
the VlDAS-home-made blot combination, it is difficult to
indicate a cut-off value for the VIDAS ELISA with a good
separation between blot-positives and blot-negatives. When
using the Immunetics ELISA as a screening tool, it
becomes clear tha! irrespective of the blot method used,

These characteristics make it possible to deftne groups of
EllSA-positive serum samples that do not need immuno-
blot confirmation.
Discussion
We studied the influence of the choice of detection method
on the results of Borrelia serology. We found that Borrelia
ELISAs and immunoblots for detecting anti-Bonelia a¡li-
bodies have widely divergent sensitivity and specificity,
and that immunoblots generally show limited agreement.
Analysis of a large number of EllSA-immunoblot combi-
nations revealed large differences between various test
Table 4 Fractions of blot-confirmed samples for 40 EllSA-immunoblot combinations
strategies in a two-tier testing algorithm. Although we only
studied a limited number of serum samples, our extensive
approach allowed us to draw several conclusion based on
our observations.
Theoretically, the use of recombinant antigens should
lead to increased specihcity and, possibly, increased
sensitivity as well. This does not seem to be true for the
currently available ELISAs and immunoblots for the
detection of anli-Borueli¿ antibodies. We could not find a
clear relationship between the fraction of positive tests, the
specificity and the nature of the antigen used for the
serological tests. ELISAs using sonicated whole-cell anti-
gens can be sensitive and specific, while recombinant
ELISAs may lack specificity. Therefore, manufacturer
claims for the superior performance of assays using

recombinant antigens for the detection of Borrelia anti-
bodies must be interpreted with caution.
A two-tier testing algorithm for the detection of anti-
Borrelia antibodies is recommended world-wide 12, 3, 61.
However, there are several reasons to reappraise the
additional value of an immunoblot confirmatory test in a
two-tier testing scheme.
First, the lack of specificity of some immunoblots is
counter-intuitive. The immunoblot is used as a confirmatory
tes! although it can be argued that it is merely a supplemental
test due to the inter-dependence of ELISAs and immunoblots
[8]. Theoretically, the use of recombinant antigens should
allow discrimination between a specific antibody reactivity,
cross-reactive antibodies and true anti-Borrelia antibodies
[a]. The presence of commercially available immunoblots
with low specificity diminishes the value of the immunoblot
as a confirmatory test [8]. Furthermore, the two-tier testing
scheme was originally proposed to overcome the lack of
specificity of Borrelia ELISAs. This study has shown that
not all of the newer generation ELISAs using recombinant
Borrelia antigens have improved specificity compared to
older serological assays [9, l0].
Second, the low level of agreement between the different
immunoblots is very disappointing, especially for IgM.
This low level of agreement, even at the individual band
level, makes it hard to compare immunoblot results from
different manufacturers.
Third, a mismatch between immunoblot and ELISA may
occur during the early phase of infection. There are numerous
examples-from this and other studies-in which patients
with earþ Lyme disease were initially EllSA-positive and
blot-negative [l]. In such cases, immunoblot seroconver-
sion can only be documented in a follow-up samplg and,
sometimes, even this option is blocked because antibiotic
treatment may interfere with the development of the anti-
Bonelia antibody response [2]. This is an example of better
sensitivity in the ELISAs compared to the immunoblots.
Without detailed knowledge of the clinical manifestations
and illness duration, reporting these cases as 'negative' could
lead to erroneous conclusions.
Finally, several groups can be discriminated based on the
ELISA value !01: a 'high positive' group exhibiting
clinical symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of Lyme
disease and which can be reported as 'positive' without
confirmatory testing, a 'low positive' group in which
confirmatory testing may be helpful and, lastly, a negative
group that does not require any further investigation. We do
not advocate abandoning the use of immunoblots to
confirm anti-Boruelia antibodies, but we do think that only
a selection of samples needs conftrmatory blotting. Fur-
thermore, knowledge about the lower sensitivity of immu-
noblots compared to some of the ELISAs is indispensable
in interpreting results.
In conclusion, ELISAs and immunoblots for detecting
anti-Borrelia antibodies have widely divergent sensitivity
and specificity, and immunoblots for detecting anti-Botelia
antibodies have only limited agreement. Therefore, the
choice of EllSA-immunoblot combination severely influ-

ences the number of positive results, making the exchange
of test results between laboratories with different method-
ologies hazardous. The widespread availability of more
specific and sensitive assays for the detection of anti-
Borrelia antibodies will open the way for a reappraisal of
the two-tier testing system.

EDUCATION FOR PHYSICIANS
Very little is taught about Lyme disease and tick-
borne diseases in medical school
Often a person with Lyme disease is marginalized
and ostracised by the medical community due to the
lack of knowledge about this disease
We need to focus on education especially for the
GP's and the ER physicians who will see the Acute
Lyme patient when this disease is curable
We need doctors to treat right away and not be
waiting for test results since the window to treat
Acute Lyme disease is very narrow
Presently the College of Physicians and Surgeons of
Ontario cannot provide a Lyme Literate Physician
anywhere in this province who is trained in how to
treat late stage Lyme disease
Due to the lack of available Lyme Specialists,
residents of Ontario are forced to seek medical
treatments in the US at their own expense often
resulting in bankruptcy and those who can't seek
treatment in the US become increasing disabled and
often face death.

lyme disease is on the increase
Messagefrom the Chief Medical0fficerof Health
Ontario is seeing an increase in human cases of Lyme disease and an increase in
numbers and range of black{egged ticks, especíally in southern 0ntario.
Reporting ofall cases is critical.
Lyme disease is a preventable disease ousedby a Borrelìo burgdorferibacterial
infection and transmitted through the bite ofan infected tick.
ln 0ntailo, the blacklegged tick (0r deer tick) lxodes scapularis is the sole vector
of B. burgdorferi. People who spend time oufdoors may encounter othertick
spedes, but only the black-legged tick can transmit the Lyme disease bacteria.
lhese ticks are small (3-5 mm) and people often d0 not realize they have a black-
legged tick on them.
RiskAreas
The greatest risk ofacquiring Lyme disease is found in areas where blacklegged ticks
canying the bacteria are endemic (well-established).
lhe endemic areas in 0ntario include:
. Long Point Provincial Park (northwest shore of lake Erie near Port Rowan)
. Point Pelee National Park (near Leamington)
. Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area (located ¿t the southeastern tip of
Prince Edward County)
. 5t. Lawrence lslands National Park (near Brockville)
. Rondeau Provincial Park (southeast0fChatham)
. Turkey Point Provincial Park (near Port Rowan)
. Wainfleet Bog Conservation Area (in Port Colborne)
Ihe blackJegged tick also feeds on birds and on be lransported to almost anywhere
in the province; therefore, Lyme disease can be acquired almost ¿nywhere in the
pf0vrnce.
When a person isshowing signs and symptoms oflyme disease, health care
professionals should consider this diagnosis even ifthe person is not from, or has not
visited, an endemic area.
Persons on come into contact with ticks is from early spring to the end of fall.Ihe
tick can also be active in the winter in areas with no snow and mild temperatures
(>4t).
Let's
Highlights:
- Since 2005, there has been an increasing trend in the number
of Lyme disease cases acquired in 0ntario.
REPORT:
. Lyme disease is a reportable disease as per 0. Reg. 559. Clinically
díagnosed Lyme disease, even in the absence oflaboratory
confirmation, should be reported to your local public health unit
ÏEST:
. While the probability is low, it is posible to acquire Lyme disease
almostanywhere in 0ntario. lf you susped Lyme disease, have
the patienttested.
TREAT:
. Early treatment with appropÍate antibiotia is important.
(linical Presenhtion
The incubation pe riod for B. burgdoíeri
is usually one to four week after a bite
from an infected tick. Early infection is
characterized in 70 to 80 per cent ofcases
by erythema migrans, a skin lesion
commonly known as a "bull's eye tash'
(see picture, right).
Other early symptoms include fever,
headache, muscle and joint painl fatigue
and stiff neck. 0inical diagnosis can
sometimes be difficult as the symptoms
can mimic many other diseases.
lfleft untreated, Lyme disease can
progress t0 an early-disseminated disease
with migraines, weakness, multiple skin rashes, painful 0r st¡ffj0ints, cardiac
abnormalities and extreme fatigue. lfthe disease continues, arthritis, along
with neur0logical symptoms suth as headaches, diziness, numbness and paralysis
can 0ccur.

lyme Disease is on the increase
Treatnent
lftreated early with appropriate antibiotics, patients can expect to make a full
recoveryl. People should seek medical attention ifsymptoms developwithin 30
daysofsuspectedtickexposure, lfthepatientstillhasthetick,orahealthcare
professional removes it, submit the tick to the local public health unit where it will
be sent for identifcation and lyme bacteria testing (black-legged ticks only species
tested). lfthe initial infection ¡s not treated, then infection can become difficult to
treat and patients may experience joint, heart and neurological symptoms.
Testing
Laboratory testing is used to support the diagnosis of Lyme disease and should be
used in conjunction w¡th clinical s¡gns and symptoms2. lt is up t0 the attending
physician to make the diagnosis and determine tre¿tment. Pat¡ents tested during
early infection may not have developed antibodies (negative serology) to the
bacteria, making detection diffcult; therefore, testing patients again in four weeks
is recommended. Health Canada-approved blood tests are performed at the 0ntario
Public Health Laboratory and follow the recommendations 0f the Canadian Public
Health [aboratory Network.
Testing patients f0r Lyme disease can be requested by writing "Lyme 5erology"on the
requisition form and providing clinical background.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States and the Public
Health Agency ofCanada caution health care professionals and the public regarding
the use of private laboratories offering Lyme disease testing in the U5A. These "for-
profit"laboratories may not follow the same testing protocols as most provincial,
state and federal laboralories in (anada and the U5A.
Removing a Tkk
. Using fine-tipped tweezers, carefully grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible.
Pull it straight 0ut, gently but firmly.
. Do not squeeze the tick. 5queezing can accidentally ¡ntroduce Lyme bacteria into
rhe body.
. Do not put anything on the tick, or try to burn the tick off.
. Aftertickremoval,placeitinas(rew-topbottle(pill vial orfilmcanister) and
subm¡t it t0 your l0cal he¿lth unit for identification and testinq. Efablishing the
type oftick will help assess the risk ofacquiring Lyme disease.
. lt is important to remember where the person most likely acquired the tick. lt will
help public health workers to identiff areas ofhigher risk.
. Thoroughly cleanse the bite site with rubbing alcohol and/or soap and water.
lfthe tick is lemoved s00n after its attachment, Ít will help t0 prevent infedion as not
all blacklegged ticks are infected. An infected blacklegged tick has t0 be feeding for
at least 24 hours before it can transmit the bacteria to the human host.

TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO
WHEREAS, the tick-borne illness known as Ghronic Lyme Disease, which mimics many
catastrophic illnesses, such as Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's, Alzheimer's, arthritic diabetes,
depression, Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia is increasingly endemic in Canada, but the
scientifically validated diagnostic tests and treatment choices are currently nol available in
Ontario, forcing patients to seek these in the USA and Europe;
WHEREAS,Ihe Canadian Medical Association informed the public, governments, and the
medical profession in May 30, 2000 edition of their professionaljournalthat Lyme Disease is
endemic throughout Canada, particularly in Southern Ontario;
WHEREAS, the Ontario Public Health system and the Ontario Health lnsurance Plan currently
do not fund those specific tests that accurately serve the process for establishing a clinical
diagnosis, but only recognize testing procedures known in the medical literature to provide false
negatives 45 to 95% of the time;
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, petition the legislative assembly of Ontario to request the Minister of
Health to direct the Ontario Public Health system and OHIP to include all currently available and
scientifically verified tests for Acute and Chronic Lyme diagnosis, to do evefihing necessary to
create public awareness of Lyme Disease in Ontario, and to have internationally developed
diagnostic and successfultreatment protocols available to patients and physicians.

To date I have about 75 municipalities supporting the petition. I have
sent the petition to all the municipalities in the province of Ontario.
Many letters have been sent to the Premier and the Minister of Health
asking for more action by our provincial government on this issue by our
municipal governments along with their support.
My hope is that all municipal governments can lend their clout to this
petition. lt won't be long before everyone is affected in one way or
another by this insidious disease. ln the US this disease is now being
called an epidemic by many health officials and its moving North. We
need a strong response from our elected officials who are responsible for
the public health of all the citizens of Ontario and Canada.
Thank you for taking the time to investigate this very urgent Public health
issue.

Subject: NOISE FROM BAYHAM
Good evening Councilors of the Municipality of Bayham.
I must report that this weekend Marnie and I have heard loud noises emitting
from Bayham into the Township of Malahide. This racket permeates through
buildings, field crops and carolinian forests all the way to our farm on Nova
Scotia Line. I'm sure the noise traveled well beyond our farm. I'm guessing the
distance the noise travels to our farm would be 7 to I km.
I'm positive the source is Outback Camping. lt sure would be neighbourly if your
Township would stop polluting our Township and my neighbours with this racket.
We can hear the rumble in our house with all the windows and doors closed. I
truly sympathize with the people who live next to the noise source.

CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor & Members of Council
FROM: Planning Coordinator/Deputy Clerk
SUBJECT: Bogart Consent E82l1l
DATE: August 26,2011
FILE: D10.11 BOGART
NUMBERz D2011-37
Purpose
To consider a consent application proposing an addition to a lot.
Background
A consent application was received from the Elgin County Land Division Committee submitted
by Jeffrey l¡art Bogart proposing to sever a parcel 3364.94m2 10.83 acre) to be added to the
adjacent property to the south owned by Danyl and Lori King. The subject land is located on the
north side of Best Line, west of Culloden Road. The subject land is designated "Agriculture" and
"Natural Gas Reservoir" in the Official Plan and zoned Agricultural (41-A) in the ZoningBy-
law No. 2456-2003. The lot to which the severed land will be conveyed is zoned Agricultural
(Al) Zone.
Elgin County Land Division Committee will consider the application on September 23,2011.
Staff & Planner Comments
The applicant proposes to sever and add lands to the adjacent agricultural parcel for the pufpose
of including the dwelling unit's water source and accessory buildings.
As the planner's memorandum outlines, the Official Plan policies permit consents for minor lot
additions provided the severed and retained parcels comply with the Official Plan and Zoning
By-law. The retained parcel will meet the A1-A zoning regulation requirements. A zoning by-
law amendment will be necessary for the severed parcel and the lands to which it will merge.
The existing parcel has a lot frontage of 50 metres where 100 metres is required in the Al Zone.
The newly merged land must be rezoned to a rural residential zone to ensure that the lot's use and
dimensions conform to the zonrngby-law requirements. The retained lands do not require
rezoning.
Recommended conditions of the consent would include: rezoning of the entire newly merged
lands, copy of the final survey and a Letter of Undertaking confirming the consolidation of the
severed lands with the adjacent lands owned by Darryl and Lori King.

existing accessory building on the property. Further, the dwelling unit's water source is on the
lands to be severed. Through aerial photography, it is demonstrated that these lands operate as
one parcel and have done so for several decades.
Section 8.7.7 states that lot adjustments and lot additions are permitted in any land use
designation provided the severed and retained parcels comply with the requirements of the
Zoning By-law.
Section 4.2.6 Oil, Gas and Salt Resources provides policy that states that exploration and
production of gas resources are permitted in all land use designations except Urban Areas. No
"special policy area" section exists regarding the subject lands.
Zoning ByJaw 2456-2003
Both subject properties are zoned Agricultural- The subject lands that are to be severed are
zoned Agricultural (A1-A) while the lands to which the severed portion will be conveyed is zoned
Agricultural (41). The Agricultural (41/41-A) zone requires a minimum lot area of 20 ha in the
A1 zone and 40 ha in the A1-A zone: Both lot sizes require a lot frontage of 1 50 metres.
The lands to be retained have three lot frontages of fl9 m, 1,4M m, and 549 m that exceed the
minimum 150 metre lotfrontage requirement. The lot dimensions of the retained parcel meet
and exceed the zoning requirements of the A1-A zone.
The lands to be severed are landlocked and will increase: the lot depth of the property to which it
is conveyed from 38.4 metres (126 ft) to 1 11.34 metres (365.3 ft); and the lot area of the
property from 1931.5 m2 (20,790 ft') to 0.53 ha (1.3 acres). The lands to which the severed land
will be conveyed has a 50 m lot frontage that is 100 metres less than required in the Al zone.
Conclusion
Based on the Official Plan and Zoning ByJaw analysis above, the severance of the 3,365 m2
parcel of land and conveyed to the adjacent landowners' parcel is supported with the following
conditions:
. That the severed lands are merged on title with the parcel to the south; and
o That the newly merged lands be rezoned to a residential zone such as Estate
Residential (ER) or Rural Residential (RR) zone to ensure that the lot's use and
dimensions conform to the Zoning By-law requirements. No rezoning of the retained
lands is required.

Brian and Jeanette Hiemstra have applied to the municipality for a Site Plan Agreement for the

Bayham ZoningByJaw 2456-2003. The lands are subject to site plan control.
Staff Comments
The owners have previously been granted minor variances for the reduced side, rear yard
setbacks and the reduced lot area to permit the residential use under Minor Variance Application
A-04lIl granted May 5, 2011. The owner's have also applied to the County for consent to sever
the industrial portion of the lands from the agricultural portion. The consent application will be
presented to Council at the next regular meeting for consideration.
The site plan drawing shown as Attachment"C" to the Site Plan Agreement shows the layout
proposed for the new building with the required parking/loading spaces, field bed and fire flow
storage pond. Being that the owners plan to sever the industrial portion from the remaining
agricultural lands, a letter of undertaking is required to confirm the permanent access to the
proposed future ofÊsite pond.
The text of the site plan agreement is in accordance with the standard form of agreement
previously approved by Council. The Agreement and authorizingBy-law are presented to
Council for enactment.

SUBJECT: Best Line FarmsA/anleeuwen Surplus Farm NUMBER: D2011-38
Dwelling Rezoning
Public Meeting September 1,2011at 7:30 p.m.
Purpose
To consider arezoringapplication to satisfy condition of Consent El3lll for a surplus farm
dwelling.
Background
A rezoning application submitted by Best Line Farms Ltd. & Antonia Vanleeuwen proposes to
rezone their property being 39 hectares (96 acres) located in Concession 9 Lot 9, north side Best
Line, west of Somers Road. The subject lands are zoned Agriculture (Al) in the Zoning By-law
No.2456-2003 and designated "Agriculture" and "Hazard Lands" in the Offrcial Plan.
Purpose & Effect
The purpose of the amendment is to change the zoning on the subject lands from the Agricultural
(41) Zone to a Special Agricultural (A2) Zone and to a site-specific Rural Residential (RR-l7)
Zoneto permit a reduced lot frontage and lot area in theZoning By-law 2456-2003.
The effect of this amendment will be to rezone the severed surplus dwelling unit for residential
use, while restricting further dwelling unit development on the retained agricultural lands in
accordance with the Agriculture section regarding Surplus Farm Dwellings in the Official Plan.
Staff & Planner Comments
Previously, Council supported a consent application El3lIl to sever a surplus farm dwelling
from the subject lands. Rezoning of both the severed and retained lands is a condition of consent
as granted by the Elgin County Land Division Committee April 28,2077.
Rezoning is required for both parcels in accordance with the Agriculture policies of the Official
Plan. The Official Plan policies Section 4.2.1,12.3 regarding surplus farm dwellings states the
severed lot with the surplus farm dwelling may include accessory buildings and structures if in
the opinion of Council a land use conflict will not be created and where the property has been
rezoned to prohibit the keeping of livestock. The severed parcel (surplus farm dwelling) does not
contain any accessorybuildings and will be rezoned from Agricultural (41-A) to Rural
Residential (RR-17) with site-specific regulations recognizing the reduced frontage of 42 metres
where 50 metres is required and the reduced lot area of 0.3 hectares where 0.4 is required in the
RR Zone. The retained parcel will be rezoned Special Agricultural (42) to prohibit additional
residential development. The retained parcel complies with the applicable zone regulations.

Zoning By-law Amendment:
Accessory Building, lncreased Maximum Floor area
Site Specific Zone Change
7376 Toll Gate Road, Vienna
Applicant Wintermute
August '1O,2011
uo4-511
Purpose
The applicant is requesting a zoning by-law amendment for an increased maximum floor area
dimension for an accessory building on an Estate Residential Exception (ER-7) and Hazard
Land zoned parcel of land.
Section 8.10.2 Regulations for Accessory Buildings, Maximum Floor Area, Zoning ByJaw No.
Z4æ-2003 states that the maximum floor area may be 55 m2, while the applicant is applying for
a 93 m2 floor area. The applicant proposes to use the proposed accessory building for the
storage of a boat and/or trailer.
Subject Site
The subject lands are located on the east side of Toll Gate Road, south of Calton Line, known as
as Part Lol 21, Concession 4, Municipality of Bayham. The subject lot cunently has a lot
frontage oI 42.7 m, a lot depth of approximately 91.5 m and a lot area of 3,500 m". A septic field
is located between the rear facade of the dwelling unit and the hazard lands to the rear of the
property (eastward).
The subject lands are designated 'Estate Residential" in the Official Plan and zoned Estate
Residentjal Exception (ER-7) and Hazard Land (HL), Zoning By-law No. 2456-2003.
Official Plan
Policies pertaining to 'Estate Residential' in the Official Plan state that uses shall be restricted to
low density, single unit dwellings such as exist on the subject lands. The Official Plan section
identifies the location of where'estate residential' uses are permitted in the Municipality and the
subject lands are identÍfied.
The Schedule'Land Use'A-1 map in the recently amended Official Plan shows that'significant
wetlands' abut the subject lands' eastern property line (rear lot line). Section 4.2.2 'Rural' policy
of the current Official Plan, subseclion 4.2.2-1.4.d states that buildings and structures must be
appropriately setback from municipal drains, watercourses and any associated 'Hazard Lands'.
The existing dwelling unit is setback appropriately from the Hazard Lands, and the proposed
accessory building appears to be setback appropriately when analyzing applicant's sketch plan
against aerial photography and GIS mapping.

Municipality of Bayham - August '10, 201 I
Zoning ByJaw Z456-2003
The subject land is zoned Estate Residential Exception zone (ER-7)and Hazard Land (HL) in
Zoning By-law Z456-2003. Permifted uses in the ER zone include: one single detached
residential dwelling on one lot; a bed and breakfast establishmenUtourist home; home
occupation; home occupation, agricultural; private garage or carport as accessory use; and
accessory uses. Permitted uses in the HL zone include: agricultural uses; conservation area;
forestry use; public/private parks; recreational uses; plant nurseries; public utility facilities;
docks/bridges/culverts; and flood and erosion control facilities.
The ER zone requires a minimum lot area of 0.4 ha, a minimum lot frontage of 50 m, a front yard
setback of 15 m, a minimum rear yard depth of 15 m, a maximum building ooverage of 2oo/o, and
a minimum side yard width of 3.0 m. The exception regulation (the ER-7) for the subject lands is
to the rear yard depth wherein any building or stucture must be sited 5.0 mebes from the 212-5
metre contour elevation (of the hazard lands). And further, that no buildings/structures shall be
constructed, and no grading of land shall occur below the 212.5 mel¡e contour elevation shown
on Schedule 'A', Map No. 62 of the Zoning By-law.
The ER zone also provides regulations for accessory buildings in Section 8.10 "Regulations for
Accessory Buildings." The regulation stipulates that no accessory building/structure will be
located within 3 metres of a side or rear lot line and that the maximum floor area will be 55 m2.
The applicant's lot area is 0.05 ha less than required in the Zoning By-law and the lot frontage is
7 m less than required. The existing dwelling unit is setback approximately 28 m from the front
yard property line (although 15 m is shown on the submitted sketch). The applicant's sketch
plan of the property identifies that the existing dwelling unit's front yard setback is 15 m from Toll
Gate Road. Using the Municipality's Zoning By-law 2456-2003, Schedule A, map 62 (AutoCAD
map)to analyzethe proposed sketch plan's dimensions, the dwelling unit's front yard setback
appears to be approximately 28 m rather than 15 m- The applicant should provide more
accurate measurem ents.
The cunent building coverage is 5% (e.9. existing dwelling unit). The building coverage of the
dwelling unit plus the proposed accessory building would be 8%.
On the submitted sketch plan of the site, the applicant has proposed an accessory building that
is 11 m x I m for a floor area of 88 m'?(947 sq. ft.), although the applicant has requested a
maximum floor area of 93 m2 (1,000 sq. ft.) on the application. The proposed accessory building
will have a 15 m setback from Toll Gate Road, a 4.il m side yard setback from the northem
property line and a7.7 m separation setback distance from the existing dwelling unit's north side
facade. These meet the setback regulations of the ER zone. ln reviewing the dimensions of the
proposed accessory building using aerial photography, it appears that the proposed accessory
building will also be setback sufficiently from the 2'12.5 m contour elevation along the rear yard
of the property.
Long Point Conservation Authority
The Municipality circulated the zoning by-law amendment application to the Long Point Region
Conservation Authority (LPRCA). The LPRCA requires a minimum 4 metre setback from the
top-of-bank (ravine). The proposed accessory building will be 4.3 metes from the topof-bank
and will meet this requirement.

Municipalig of Bayham - August 10, 201 I
Conclusion
The requested zoning by-law amendment for an increased accessory building floor area of 93
m2, from the permitted accessory building floor area of 55 m2, in the ER zone is supported.
Further, the permissible total building coverage in the ER zone may be 20%, where 8olo is
proposed. As well the LPRCA has provided the Municipality with comments regarding the
application, and the applicant will meet the LPRGA's requirement to respect the 4.0 metre
setback from top-of-bank perimetet. ,
The zoning by-law amendment for the ERSHazarO Land zoned property may be approved.

OVERVIEW:
DEPARTMENTAL TRAINING
We continue to try and find improved ways to deliver training to our firefighters. Currently we
are stilltraining on separate evenings; however we will continue to work to find ways for
Station 1 and Station 2 to train together.
Prior to 2011 Bayham has only two members who are certified firefighters in the Province of
Ontario, including the Fire Chief. With the success of the Joint Recruit Training Program, in
October all nine firefighters that completed the course will be writing for the first component ¡n
the Provincial Firefighter Curriculum. ln addition, four experienced firefighters have expressed
an interest in writing the exam and working toward Provincial Certification.
We only have three members of the department certified to the first levelof the Company
Officer Program, including the Fire Chief. However, due to the fact that training can now be
delivered locally for these courses (six Company Officer courses are scheduled for this fall in
Page 4 of 10
Staff Report P2011-017 regarding "2011 Semi Annual Report".
File: P16
Page 170 of 223
Bayham) sixteen firefighters and officers have signed up to begin the process of certification in
the Ontario Company Officer Certification Program.
ln addition to the general firefighter and company officer training, Bayham offers three
specialty rescue services. These services require additional training to maintain skills and to
meet a certified standard. ln 2010 we trained several firefighters to be instructors in water and
ice rescue. Some still need to complete the mentoring process; however it is ongoing in 201-L.
Our team leader for technical rope rescue was certified as an instructor in 2010 and will be
trainingthe remainder of the team in 2011. Auto extrication team members were certified in
the first half of 2011 as instructors however the remainder if the team need to be certified.
This is the basis for the training moving forward in 2011 and a course is scheduled to run in
October.
JTAG
Many of the courses and programs mentioned above are also being offered to our JTAG
partners. This helps to reduce the costs by filling class vacancies with students from other
departments strictly on a cost per student cost recover basis. The first Joint Recruit Training
Program recently completed with 41 students from seven municipalities graduating, nine
graduating from Bayham. Although final costs are not in at this time, it is estimated that it cost
approximately S1000 / firefighter, that includes costs for instructors and their per/diem for
completing the course.
Elgin County Communications System and Dispatching Services
There is likely to be a significant cost associated with replacing the communication system in
ElginCounty. Bayhamispartownersandassuchwill berequiredtofundpartoftheprogram.
No details are available at this time, however this will not be optional as lndustry Canada has
changed the rules and the standards. New equipment will be the only way we can meet the
lndustry Canada requirements.
The contract with Tillsonburg for dispatching services will come due in 20t2. There is the
possibility of a cost increase for the current level of service. The ad hoc Elgin County
Communications Committee will meet August 16 to begin discussion on dispatching services.

Fire Prevention / Legislative Requirements:
OVERVIEW:
The department purchased fire service management software and has had it installed. We are
currently completing training and we anticipate some officers of the department being able to
complete basic inspections in 2011. ln July our annual compliance package for 2010 was sent in
to the Office of the Fire Marshal. The Municipality of Bayham maintained its compliance status
for 2010.
FIRE SAFETY INSPECTIONS:
The Municipality received six requests for fire inspections during the first six months of 20L1.
That is an increase from just two for the whole of 2OL0. To date, inspections have been carried
out, however the follow up inspections have not been completed due to other staff
commitments.
Currently the Bayham Fire and Emergency Services only inspect on a complaint or request basis,
as is the minimum requirement in the Fire Prevention and Protection Act. As Fire Chief, I do not
feel that this meets the needs and circumstances in Bayham. Bayham needs to inspect on a
proactive, not reactive basis.
PUBTIC EDUCATION AND AWARENESS:
We continue to use local media and place fire safety ads in school newsletters / yearbooks as
well as in the Around About Bayham newspaper and on our website. Both Firefighter
Associations provide education and awareness at their various fundraisers and community
activities.
TEGISLATIVE REQUIRMENTS:
There are several requirements and standards that must be met in the Fire Service and in
Emergency Preparedness. Recent events involving legalchallenges, firefighter injuries and
fatalities make it important for council to understand the legalities surrounding the Fire Service
and the Emergency Preparedness responsibilities. New regulation complexity and work load
associated with the Public Fire Safety Guideline present challenges for staffto address in an
effective and timely manner, not just in Bayham but in several municipalities across Ontario.
ln order to assist Council with understanding the ever changing legislative requirements I have
scheduled an Essentials of Fire Protectlon seminar through our Office of the Fire Marshal
Advisor. lt is scheduled for Saturday December l-Oth, 2011 in Bayham. I would request that as
many members of Council that can attend do attend.

Master Fire Plan lmplementation Update
ln 2010 the Master Fire Plan was presented and adopted by Municipal Council. Numerous
recommendations were presented as part of the plan. Several of the recommendations have
been adopted and have been completed or are currently being implemented. lt willtake
several years to completely implement all of the recommendations. Below is a brief summary
and update of the recommendations:
L. Replacement of Stat¡on #1 Port Burwell - The tender documents are almost complete.
It is expected that the tender document will be advertised by the end of the first week
in August. When tenders close the final recommendation and project costs will come
before council for final approval. At the same time that staff meets with Mr. Dawley
regarding the tender, we will discuss options and the estimated costs for the repairs of
Station 1 as directed by Council. A report with details will come before Council at a later
date.
2. Fire Apparatus and Major Equipment Funding - The recommendation to fund
apparatus and major equipment using the reserve process was already a policy in
Bayham. Funds have been put away in past budgets. I have reviewed the schedule and
funds in the accounts and an updated schedule has been implemented in the 2011
budget. 2Ot2capitalequipment projects include PPE replacement in Station l and Auto
Extrication equipment replacement. All funds are allocated in current capital reserves.
3. Firefighter Recruitment - Recruitment in a volunteer fire department is becoming more
and more difficult. The problem isn't with initial interest of potential members for
recruitment; it is with retention partly due to the requirements to meet standards.
Although members truly want to volunteer it is becoming much more difficult for them
to meet all of the required training and practice required to meet management's
obligations. This isn't only an issue in Bayham; it is a problem with rural service across
Ontario. Bayham just completed a recruitment drive and to date we have five quality
prospects still remaining in the testing process. All five will be assigned to Station 1.
4. Officer Qualifications - The recommendation was to train officers for their roles. This
process is underway. Senior firefighters and officers are scheduled for training in the fall
of 2OLL
5. Specality Teams - The speciality teams continue to train monthly and we are working
toward having allteam members certified to a recognized industry standard.

Page 173 of 223
6.Water Rescue -Technical Water / lce Rescue service are now offered in Bayham.
Firefighters are trained and equipped to provide this service. Several members of our
team are now or will soon be certified instructors to the Ontario Fire Marshal's program.
Bayham does not have a vessel; however we have successfully trained with the Auxiliary
Coast Guard in Port Burwell. Firefighters have responded with the Auxiliary Coast Guard
for emergencies in Lake Erie in 2011.
Standard Operating Guidelines - A committee has been established to review training
and standard operating guidelines. At this time, the committee method is stalled. lt will
take dedicated paid stafftime to complete this process in a timely manner. This request
will come forward in the 2012budget process.
Tanker Shuttle Certification - This recommendation has not been followed up with at
this time.
9. Council Oversight -This recommendation is complete, it is confirmed in the Establishing
and Regulating By-Law. The Fire Chief reports to Council through the CAO.
10. Fire Prevention and Self Inspection -This recommendation is not being considered.
The Office of the Fire Marshal will not accept it as an acceptable model. We currently
only inspect on a complaint or request basis. Staffdoes not have time to inspect our
high hazard occupancies on a scheduled basis.

To Bayham Municipal Council
The committee examining property standards and gardens by-law has met on several
occasions. We have discussed issues regarding what should be enforced, changes to by-laws
in some instances, as well as complaint and enforcement procedures.
As part of our discussions we addressed public input and the means in which we, as a
committee, may be able to gauge public attitudes towards existing by-laws and enforcement.
\Mth timeliness and expense as considerations, we determined the quickest and most effective
way of seeking public input would be a survey.
We developed a series of simple questions that will be available online as well as for pickup at
the municipal offices should council agree with our direction. The questions are attached for
your convenience.
Would council please approve our releasing of the survey for the purpose of collecting public
opinion so that we may complete our work as quickly as possible?

CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
STAFF REPORT
TO: Mayor & Members of Council DATE: August 29,2011
FROM: Kyle Kruger, Administrator FILE: L04
SUBJECT: County Road Maintenance AgreemenVFunding NUMBER: PW2011-09
Purpose
This report is to provide further comment on County of Elgin reports regarding a new Road
Maintenance Agreement and regarding a request from certain area municipalities for inclusion of a
fuel surcharge.
Background
As Council will recall, in July of this year, the municipality provided comment to the County of
Elgin regarding a County staff report on present and proposed arrangements for the maintenance of
County roads. The following are the comments provided by Bayham:
1. That Council advise the County of Etgin that the Municipality of Bayham can accept
either funding model outlined in their report regarding a new road maintenance
agreement.
2. Thatthe County be requested to examine the current allocation for all classes of roads.
3. That Council recommend to the County of Elgin that annual adjustments to
compensation rates for road maintenance be adjusted by the annual Construction Price
Index.
4. That Council advise that it is supportive of a pilot project, as offered by the Municipality
of Central Elgin, to examine compensation on a unit price basis.
After consideration of all the municipal comments received, County Council adopted resolutions that
they state were intended to reflect a majority of local Council opinions. These resolutions (see
attached) have now been circulated with a request for any additional comment by September 15,
20ll inorder to allow the County solicitor to draft a new agreement'
Staff Comments '
Bayham staff continue to have some concerns with the funding model/agreement basis being
proposed. At this time, Bayham continues to see a signihcant deficit relative to County road
maintenance.
It is also recognized that there are some differing opinions from the local municipalities that must be
accommodated. In order to address that item, several of the local municipal CAO's and Senior Staff
met to discuss the issue and explore a potential single response that could be supported by all of the
local municipalities for a new maintenance agreement for County roads. As a result of discussions
at the mentioned meeting, the Municipal Staff involved have prepared a recommended response to
the County, as in the following recommendation in this report.

Agreement / Funding".

Strategic Plan Goal(s)
Goal #l - Practice responsible financial management
Goal #2 - Ensure reliable, well maintained and secure infrastructure
Recommendations
1. That the current escalation of the lump sum payments under County of Elgin Road Maintenance
Agreement being based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Ontario (All goods) be
supported;
2. That the implementation of an additional invoicing system, upon acceptance of the new
agreement, for major maintenance activities be supported subject to the establishment of agreed
upon service levels that clearly delineate the responsibilities of both the local municipality and
the County insofar as they relate to maintenance of the road network vs. capital improvements,
and further, that such service levels be appended as a schedule to the new Agreement;
3. That the Municipality of Central Elgin being considered as a piloltest site for the use of unit
price/invoice system of compensation for the maintenance of County of Elgin roads continue to
be supported; and
4. That the term of the new agreement be no more than 5 years in order to permit a comprehensive
review and consider the feasibility of implementing an invoice system of payment once the
pilot/test has been completed by the Municipality of Central Elgin.

Subject:
Dear Mr. Kruger
I am following up on our telephone conversation of this morning regarding charitable status for the
Otter Valley Naturalists (OVN).
As explained to you, we were unsuccessful obtaining charitable status on our first submission to the
CanadaRevenue Agency. We plan to resubmit our application and provide CRA with more detail,
but this will take some time to achieve.
In the meantime, O'\rN would like to inquire if the Municipality could endeavour to be a go-between
for us in applying for grants for the Municipal Beach Improvement Project that was endorsed
previously by Council. Some funding agencies require a charitable contribution receipt before they
will provide grants. If the municipality could assist us by endorsing the initiative by issuing a
charitable receipt and potentially be a "middle-agency" in the transfer of funds to the project, we
may be able to proceed with it this fall. O\fN will be responsible for all grant applications.
We have received the necessary permits for the project, and we have so far raised $8,000 for it from
the LPRCA, the Elgin Stewardship Foundation, and the Aylmer Area Community Foundation, but
these funds will not be released until we have the full amount raised. We are looking for about
$5,000 more from other funders to proceed. If there were some County funds for tree planting
initiatives, we can immediately open up the LPCRA frìnd ($1,000) to purchase a few calliper size
trees as well. We need to match the LPRCA funds. This was one ¿rea that you thought that you
may be able to offer assistance.
Trusting this letter will assist with the initiative,
