Overview of the Process
The process for establishing the Elgin-St.Thomas Labour Force Development Strategy included four
phases including:
1) Conducting an Environmental Scan/Research
2) Issue Development
3) Community Engagement
4) Formulating the Strategy
The environmental scan and research involved establishing the relevant local labour market and
employment information to the strategy. Information on industries,occupations,Canadian business
patterns and the local labour force were all included.Also included are sources of broader context
including economic outlooks and information about labour market trends.
The issue development phase of the project involved individual meetings with community stakeholders
and engaging them with the environmental scan in the form of a community profile.Community
stakeholders were asked to give input about the evidence on the community profile and provide local
knowledge and context to help inform the data. The input from the individual consultations helped
identify the key issue areas that were to be considered in creating the strategy.
Community engagement portion of developing the strategy consisted of a community workforce
planning meeting. Stakeholders,elected officials and community partners came together to hear about
the data and the workforce issues. The attendees collaborated and shared ideas to address the issues
and eventually voted on the top priority issues that they would like to see addressed first.
The final part of the process involved taking the results of the issue development phase and the top
priorities identified from the community engagement meeting and creating the action items that would
make up the 2015 Elgin-St.Thomas Labour Force Development Strategy.
Background:
In 2010,the Elgin Workforce Committee released a labour force development strategy. The strategy
was created to support the work of the economic development offices in both Elgin County and St.
Thomas as they identified target sectors and workforce related issues. The Elgin Workforce Committee
and its community partners were all invested in the successful implementation of the strategy to help
boost the quality of available workers to drive economic development in the region. Education,
government, business and community stakeholders were all part of the strategic planning process and
the subsequent implementation of the many facets of the workforce action plan.
The creation of the 2010 labour force strategy was designed to provide a comprehensive and
community-driven process to address needs,gaps and priorities for workforce development,particularly
in the target sectors. The strategy provided direction for activities and was used for leveraging a
7:05 p.m. -Justin Dias,Elgin Workforce Development Committ... Page 34 of 267
number of labour market projects. However,just as the strategy was released,the impact of the global
recession began to impact the local economy.
Other employment trends were also subjecting the local workforce to some major changes, particularly
shifts in traditionally strong employment sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing. A rash of
closures,especially of major established manufacturers(Sterling 2009, Ford 2011),impacted the area in
a dramatic way. Workers,families and businesses who had relied on high-paying manufacturing jobs
and the spending power that they brought to the community were left with a major void to fill. Many
manufacturing workers had spent their whole lives working for a single company,often having left high
school to take a job on the line. With such an immediate need,the workforce development focus
shifted to try and accommodate all of the displaced workers.
Now in 2015,the industrial landscape has shifted. While some companies continue to downsize or
restructure, many have stabilized and are looking for ways to grow. New industries and employers are
emerging to take the place of businesses that have closed. Elgin-St.Thomas remains a highly
competitive place for manufacturers. The prime agricultural land is still here,as are burgeoning agri-
food and agri-tourism industries. Elgin-St.Thomas remains a great place to operate a small business or
become an entrepreneur.
The following report outlines the history of the previous workforce strategy, past successes and
priorities going forward. It also looks at labour market information,demographics and other relevant
workforce trends help to demonstrate areas where workforce development activities would likely be
successful and identify local champions to help drive the process forward.

Priorities and Achievements of the 2010 Strategy:
The 2010 Elgin Labour Force Strategy contained a number of priority areas for workforce development
activities including:
1. Retain youth,attract skilled workers,increase participation of under-represented groups in the
workforce
2. Increase educational attainment through culture of lifelong learning
3. Provide support to entrepreneurs and small business operations
4. Promote collaboration between business,government and education
These priorities were addressed through actions by community partners and other activities throughout
the community. Those actions included:
✓ Hosting a skilled trades information night
✓ Working with local action centres
✓ Participating in research on economic impact of Talbotville Ford assembly plant closure
✓ Creating work-ready assessment toolkits for workers
✓ Peer worker outreach to action centres
✓ Map local educational opportunities
✓ Global experience @ Work workshops for employers
✓ Business incubator(Innovation Centre for Entrepreneurs)
✓ Youth Entrepreneurship Partnership(EBRC Summer Company)
✓ Fanshawe day release programming
In addition to the activities undertaken by committee members in their organizations or in
collaboration,there were a number of projects and partnerships that directly benefitted from the
previous workforce strategy. The 2010 Elgin Labour Force Strategy helped in identifying needs,
leveraging support and accessing funding for a number of projects including the Pathways to Prosperity
project funded by Status of Women Canada and the St.Thomas Elgin Local Immigration Partnership
(StELIP)funded by Citizen and Immigration Canada.
Pathways to Prosperity:
Pathways to
Prosperity
The Pathways to Prosperity project was established in 2012 with the financial support of Status of
Women Canada. The goal of the project is to advance women's economic security in St.Thomas-Elgin.
Pathways to Prosperity looks to create opportunities for local prosperity by: Understanding barriers to
economic security for women;Collaboration to identify gaps,priorities and opportunities that inform
strategies;and the development of a community plan that takes action to increase women's economic
security in the region.

STELIP has identified five priority areas for assisting newcomer settlement which include:Coordination
of Services; Employment, Entrepreneurship,and Labour Market Access;Settlement and Integration;
Language, ESL and Communication;and Public Awareness.
In the coming year, Elgin is one of six counties participating in an apprenticeship implementation project
funded by the Ontario Ministry of Training,Colleges and Universities. All of these projects benefitted
from the community engagement and collaboration that the workforce strategy helped to foster.

Demographics
Significant) The population profile of the region demonstrates some interesting characteristics.When grouping the
ysmaller population by age groups,Elgin-St.Thomas has a significantly larger proportion of the population that
proportion falls in younger and older age categories. The 0-14 year age group is a much larger proportion than the
of young
workers same group in London and Ontario. Meanwhile,two of the three oldest age groups(55-64 years,65-74
years)make up greater proportions of the population than both the London and the Ontario
proportions. The large proportion of older persons and children results in lower numbers of young
workers. Elgin-St.Thomas has a smaller proportion of workers in the 15-24 years and 25-34 years age
categories as shown in the chart below:

Local Educational Attainment
The labour force of Elgin-St.Thomas can be broken down by highest educational attainment. This
allows us to look at how the education levels of workers in the area compare with those in other
jurisdictions and over time.
The chart below shows the education of those who were in the local labour force(either employed or
unemployed)as of the 2011 National Household Survey. Almost half of the local labour force(both
employed and unemployed but looking for work) have high school level education or below.

transferring their skills to positions in new industries or occupations. This was reflected in the responses
to the Employer One survey for Elgin-St.Thomas that are found later in this report.
Local Business Composition: Canada Business Patterns
Canadian Business Patterns tracks the number of businesses and categorizes them by the number of
people that they employ. Employers range in size from 1-4 employees all the way up to 500+
employees. Also included is the number of employers of'indeterminate'size. Canadian Business
Patterns classifies businesses as'Indeterminate' if they have no employees or indeterminate number of
employees. This includes businesses that make use of a contract workforce or family members. The

Elgin-St.Thomas has had consistent growth in the number of small businesses over the past five years.
However,the growth in the net number of small businesses does not take into account the attrition'or
long term sustainability of these small employers. This trend must be continued to be monitored to
understand the success rate of these businesses.
Medium and large employers have remained relatively stable in terms of absolute numbers over the
past five years although there have been some fluctuations. Workforce development activities must
take into consideration the growth in small business and provide support to entrepreneurs while
continuing to provide support to medium and large employers.

Employment by Industry
The Analyst tool produced by OMAFRA and developed by EMSI uses a variety of sources to determine
full-time employment by industry for census divisions. These sources include the Labour Force Survey
and Survey of Employment, Payrolls and Hours.
The dominant industry in terms of full-time employment at the local level continues to be
manufacturing(NAICS 31-33).This is followed by health care and social assistance(NAICS 62)and retail
trade(NAICS 44-45). Accommodation and food services(NAICS 72)is the fourth largest employment
industry followed by educational services(NAICS 61).
Looking at the top five industries and the greatest changes in terms of share of total regional
employment,manufacturing had the greatest decrease while health,accommodation and retail had the
largest increases. The declining share of manufacturing employment will be discussed later on in the
report.

they represent a group with underutilized labour and skills. High participation by those with no

persons in the labour market who have no postsecondary credentials. While those with a major field of
study do fare better in the labour market, not all fields of study are equal. The following charts indicate

Impact of External Trends
Trends in the global and national economy have had significant impact on the local economy and
workforce in Elgin-St.Thomas. The constantly changing industrial structure and makeup of the economy
will continue to make some occupations less prevalent but will also lead to a growth of others including
some new occupations that may not even exist yet.
Global demand for goods and services is also an important factor that plays heavily in the local labour
market. The high concentration of agricultural/agri-food production and manufacturing industries in the
area rely on global markets for much of their sales. A strong global economy,and particularly a strong
US economy, provides opportunities for business growth and employment.
In identifying some of these external trends and their impact on local employment, Elgin-St.Thomas can
better address the workforce needs of the area over the course of the three year strategy.
American Economy is Expected to Heat Up
Major banks'economists in Canada are predicting strong US growth over the next couple of years.
Strengthened US demand bodes well for the province and especially for the region which has a high
concentration of manufacturers and agriculture/agri-food producers who export to the US. In a
presentation to the St.Thomas&District Chamber of Commerce, BMO Capital Markets Senior
Economist Sal Guatieri outlined the projected US growth for 2015 to surpass 3%.5 This coupled with a
softer Canadian dollar and lower oil prices provides local manufacturers and exporters with a positive
outlook over the coming year and is the kind of stimulus that could trigger investments in more
productive technology and increased workforce capacity. RBC Economic's June 2014 Provincial Outlook
also references the positive climate that businesses are seeing for capital investments. According to
Statistics Canada,spending on non-residential outlays for 2014 is expected to rise by 3.7%which was
contrasted by a 4.5%decline in 2013.6 There is the hope that the heating up of the US economy and
increased business confidence and investment will lead to gains in Elgin-St.Thomas employment over
the next little while. RBC predicts the provincial unemployment rate to tick down to 6.9%for 2015.'
The falling price of oil caused RBC to make some upward revisions to job creation in the December 2014
Provincial Outlook for Ontario. RBC is projecting job growth of 1.4%in Ontario for 2015.8

Shift Away from Manufacturing Jobs to Service Jobs:
There has been a steady decrease in the number of jobs in the manufacturing sector since 2000. The
manufacturing sector made up 18.4%of Ontario's employment in 2000. By 2013,the sector made up
11.3%of all jobs in the province. On a more local level,the London Economic Region(which includes
Elgin,Oxford and Middlesex) had 19.6%of its jobs in the manufacturing sector in 2000. By 2013,that
number had shifted downwards to 13.8%of the total number of local jobs.' The graph below(Figure 10)
shows the year-over-year share of employment that was made up of manufacturing industries for all
years from 2000-2013. The declining share of manufacturing in the London Economic Region has been
consistent since 2003,even before the onset of the recession.

In Elgin,the manufacturing share of employment has also demonstrated a decreasing trend since 2006
with much of the shift occurring from 2006 to 2009. However,the proportion of manufacturing jobs of
all the jobs in Elgin has remained relatively stable between 22-23%since 2010.

Figure 12 shows the total number of jobs in manufacturing over the same period for the London
Economic Region which includes St.Thomas-Elgin. While the recession period showed the number of
jobs in manufacturing decline in the region,the period from 2009 to 2013 actually showed a net
increase in manufacturing jobs.

Although manufacturing was a larger component of the employment mix for the region in 2000 than
current numbers but it continues to be an important part of the employment picture. The
manufacturing sector makes up a relatively larger part of the London Economic Region than the
province as a whole. This indicates that although the area has experienced some sharp losses in
manufacturing, it still makes up a large part of the local economy and workforce. The manufacturing
employers that have survived the recession and structural changes in the economy have had to adjust
their processes and their workforce needs.There is optimism that those manufacturers that made it
through the recession are those best suited to innovate and adapt to changing market conditions. These
employers will also hopefully benefit from the lower dollar and fuel prices and be able to expand their
workforce if they see local candidates with the skills they require.
Increasing Share of the Service Sector
While manufacturing has seen a decrease in its share of total employment,the service producing sector
has shown a relatively steady increasing trend in terms of employment. The Ontario trend over the
period 2000-2013 has crept steadily upwards towards almost 80%of all employment. For the London
7:05 p.m. -Justin Dias,Elgin Workforce Development Committ... Page 47 of 267
Economic Region,the sector has had a more unpredictable trend but still demonstrates fairly consistent
growth,especially when contrasted with the trends in manufacturing. Many service sector jobs utilize
skills gained from manufacturing positions,especially those related to home improvement and
contractor services. However, many service sector jobs require soft skills,computer skills and
communication skills that may not have been essential in the manufacturing sector. From a community
workforce development perspective, it is important to identify those skills that employers are seeking in
their current workforce and new applicants and to support workers who wish to transition from
manufacturing to service-based sectors. These skills are identified in the community engagement
section of the report.

Traditional agriculture and farming has been undergoing a shift over the past number of years.
Mechanization and consolidation of small family farms has led both fewer numbers of farms and fewer
numbers of hours worked in the farm industry. From 1961-2007,the total number of hours worked in
the sector decreased by an average of 1.9 percent per year.' Despite this tightening in the agriculture
labour market,the industry enjoyed relatively stable economic output during the recession period
because demand for food products remained consistent.
While employment numbers in agriculture have experienced a generally downward trend over the long
term in Canada,the provincial outlook is much more consistent. At the local level,the number of
people employed in agriculture in Elgin has actually increased from the 2009-2014.That being said,the
demographic outlook of those employed in the farming industry is representative of the aging
population. Even while the total number of people employed in agriculture has decreased since 2006,
the number of people in the'55 years and over'category has increased. The need for succession
planning in agriculture was one of the key findings from Elgin County Economic Development's BR+E
study 2012. Workforce development in this sector must address the aging workforce and look to attract
young workers with the current skills required by the industry.

The County of Elgin conducts BR+E outreach on a rotating basis for the sectors that have been identified
as targeted for growth. In 2012,agriculture and agri-food producers were surveyed for their input
around a number of issues including workforce development. The quality and availability of the local
workforce was characterized as either good or excellent by two-thirds of respondents.12 Additionally,
agri-food employers indicated that an increase or decrease in sales was the most common factor
responsible for both past changes in employment and future anticipated changes.13 Also of note is that
none of the respondents indicated that'technical changes'were a factor in their changes in
employment levels. The close relationship between sales and employment levels and the indication that
technological change was not affecting employment seems to indicate that local agri-food producers are
not experiencing decreasing employment from the further mechanization of farms.There appears to be
stable and consistent employment in the agriculture and agri-food sector for those possessing the most
current skills required. When looking at workforce development activities,it is essential to identify what
current skills are required to work in the agriculture/agri-food industry and to communicate them to
applicants. Operators also indicated that the greatest interest for training opportunities was in 'health
and safety and WHMIS/WSIB'and'sales and marketing'.'4
Respondents to the BR+E survey also indicated that most did not have a succession plan in place for
their business. The lack of a succession plan by many employers in agriculture and agri-food means that
the aging owners/operators population must continue to find workers and managers to keep current
business operations successful in the long term.
Tourism:
The County of Elgin also conducted a BR+E study of the tourism sector in 2014. Tourism is made up of a
number of sub-sectors,each of which contribute to total employment in the tourism industry.The
following categories are included:
I. Entertainment(711 Performing arts,spectator sports and related industries,712 Heritage
institutions)
II. Recreation(713 Amusement,gambling and recreation industries)
III. Accommodation(721 Accommodations services)
IV. Food Services(722 Food services and drinking places)
The chart below(Figure 17)shows employment levels in tourism related industries..
In terms of workforce development,the study found that 84%of survey respondents found the quality
of the workforce was good or excellent. The survey also found that 79%of responds found the
availability of the local workforce was good or excellent's

Tourism sector employers also responded that'sales&marketing'and 'customer service'were the top
training opportunities that tourism employers were interested in followed by'financial management'
and'health and safety'.16
Manufacturing:
Manufacturing remains a huge portion of the local economy representing 22.6 percent of all jobs in
Elgin. Elgin County also conducted a BR+E of the manufacturing sector to identify workforce
development opportunities for the sector. While 71%of employers rated the availability of the
workforce to be'good'or'excellent',two employers who represented businesses with 20-49
employees and 100+employees respectively,rated the availability of the workforce as'poor'.17In terms
of training options, manufacturers responded with'health and safety/WHMIS/WSIB'as the top choice,
followed by'supervisory'and 'quality assurance'.18
Other Labour Market Factors at Play
The labour market has been undergoing a shift over the past little while,even before the onset of the
recession. Tom Zizys takes a comprehensive look at how the labour market used to operate and how
the current labour market operates in his paper Working Better:Creating a High-Performing Labour
Market in Ontario. Zizys points out a number of key changes which in turn necessitate changes in
responses in workforce development. These changes in the labour market in include:

18 Ibid,26
7:05 p.m. -Justin Dias,Elgin Workforce Development Committ... Page 52 of 267
Traditional models of career laddering have changed: Employees used to enter a company at an
entry-level position and work their way up through the ranks with investment in training made by
the employer into employees that showed promise.
The polarization of the labour market: There used to exist a relatively stable ratio of workers in
top positions, middle positions and entry level positions. The labour market has shifted this
balance as entry level job growth and upper level job growth have outpaced the middle. The new
reality of the labour market is top and bottom heavy with fewer positions in the middle for some
skilled,semi-skilled and experienced applicants to gain entry.
Just-in-time hiring practices: Employers are looking to find the right employee at the right time
and competition and payroll deductions have limited their ability to cultivate employees through
investment in training. The result is that employers are looking for skilled applicants who both have
the required skills,but also share the employer's culture/fit.
Skills mismatch: Related to just-in-time hiring practices,employers receive applications from many
highly educated and qualified applicants, but because they are often from outside the organization,
they do not necessarily have the exact skill set that the company requires. CIBC World Markets
calculations show a surprising correlation when it comes to unemployment and job vacancy data
which seems to confirm some mismatch in the current labour market. Lower levels of
unemployment usually correspond with higher number of job vacancies. However,the opposite
trend has been observed in Canada. Higher job vacancy rates and higher unemployment rates have
existed at the same time in Canada since 2011 which Benjamin Tal and Nich Exarhos of CIBC World
Markets Inc. have observed as an indicator that there is in fact a skill mismatch going on at a
national level.19
CIBC World Markets economists Benjamin Tal and Nick Exarhos also talk about the changing labour
market dynamics and suggest that these changes are structural rather than cyclical. The fact that these
changes are structural means that labour market interventions and strategies must be aimed at
addressing the new realities rather than in hopes of the old labour market dynamics to make a
comeback. Tal and Exarhos highlight these changes in their June 2014 edition of Economic Insights. The
structural changes to the Canadian labour market which also affect the local labour market are:
Productivity Gains:Canadian productivity per worker has tended to lag behind that of the US. This
gap is largely the result of the industrial makeup of the US and the higher proportion of large
corporations. These larger enterprises are able to invest more money in technology and machinery
which in turn helps to drive increased productivity per worker. Canada's tendency towards small
and medium enterprises makes these large scale investments more challenging. However,Tal and
Exarhos credit recent machinery investments with improving productivity which has offset some
potential gains in employment.'

20 Ibid,3
7:05 p.m.-Justin Dias,Elgin Workforce Development Committ... Page 53 of 267
Declining Participation Rates:The aging of Canada's population has led to declining participation
rates since 2008.21 The decline in participation rate can be largely attributed to the demographic
shift that is taking place due to the Baby Boom generation. Tal and Exarhos use a workforce
pegged at the 2008 demographic levels of the country and show that participation has actually
increased in relation to that demographic profile. The aging workforce means that even though
workers are tending towards working longer,the aging population will inevitably lead to lower
participation rates. This shift is not a coming phenomenon but is a current labour market reality
according to Tal and Exarhos.22
Retention Rates:Workers in Canada seem to be staying in the same jobs longer than previously
expected. The proportion of Canadian workers who have been in a position for more than five
years has reached a record high. Additionally,the number of workers who have been in a position
for less than a year are at a record low.23 Those who are currently in jobs have demonstrated a
commitment to staying in positions longer than usual.
Less Stable Work Situations:The change in the number and types of jobs in the province of Ontario
supports this view of a changing labour market. One of the most profound trends for jobseekers
has been the growth of part-time and temporary contract positions. These temporary and/or part-
time positions used to be considered a flexible option for those seeking a different work-life
balance at various stages of one's life. However,the growth of part-time work has outpaced the
growth of full-time positions by 9%since 200024. Additionally,the number of temporary positions
has outpaced the growth of permanent positions and the number of people employed in
temporary positions increased from 10.5%in 2000 to 12%in 2013.25 The growth in these less stable
forms of employment with no medical benefits,and a tightening of rules for accessing Employment
Insurance, has led to an increased unwillingness to move from income supports to employment.
Labour Demand
Internet Job Postings:
The number and type of job postings in Elgin-St.Thomas is an indication of the demand for labour.
While there is a strong indication that many employers in Elgin-St.Thomas use informal networks to fill
many of their positions,the number of internet job postings help to demonstrate the types of
opportunities available to job seekers and employment service providers. The Employer One survey
found that online job postings were the second most popular method of recruitment after using
informal networks.

Vicinity Jobs uses a set of algorithms to search the internet and determine the number of job postings.
These postings are categorized for their location,occupation category, industry,duration of
employment and the source of the posting. The algorithms are also utilized to remove duplicated
postings or the same posting found on multiple job search sites. The job posting data is updated on a
quarterly basis.This is a new tool that has been utilized since the third quarter of 2013 with the hope of
providing insight into job posting patterns over the long-term. Internet job posting figures at the local
level are only available for the third quarter of 2013 and 2014 at the current time. By keeping track of
the number of postings and doing year-over-year comparisons, it is possible to determine if there are
any trends developing for internet job postings in Elgin-St.Thomas. This information is critical to job
seekers in order for them to understand the nature of the jobs that are currently available and tailor
their efforts accordingly.
The total number of job postings for Elgin-St.Thomas have steadily increased for each quarter since the
end of 2013 with the exception of the last quarter(see table below).This increase in job postings could
indicate an increase in hiring activity or that more employers are choosing to post open positions online.

There were two occupation categories that experienced the greatest number of postings in Q2 in 2014.
'Natural resources,agriculture and related occupations'and the category'other' both peaked during
April-June of 2014.
When looking at the internet postings by category for the same quarter(Q4)of 2013 and 2014,almost
all categories had a huge increase in the number of postings. The only exceptions were the'health'
category and the'Education,law,social,community and government services'. These two categories
has more posting in 2013 than 2014.

One of the main challenges to using data about online job postings is that a large number of job postings
contain incomplete information. The unknown information often includes the type of employment and
tenure of positions which are critical factors that would help inform a job seeker whether to apply. This
being said,there is still value to be gained in terms of attempting to quantify the demand for labour(by
employers)on the internet which is where most of the supply side(job seekers)turn to when looking for
employment opportunities. The following two charts show the number of postings by both job type and
tenure of employment. Encouraging employers to more fully identify the nature of a position when
posting jobs online was one of the key issues that were identified during the issue development phase of
the process.

Employer One Survey
The second annual Employer One Survey ran from January 2-31,2014. The survey collects information
from employers on a range of labour issues including turnover, recruitment methods, plans to hire,skills
and education requirements. The survey was collected by the Elgin Middlesex Oxford Workforce
Planning and Development Board in partnership with 29 other organizations. The 2014 survey had 155
employers complete the survey with 38 from Elgin-St.Thomas. An additional 109 employers provided
some responses but did not complete the full survey which included 19 from Elgin-St.Thomas.
Production and service workers continue to experience the greatest turnover by a significant margin.
This group was followed by administrative and clerical occupations which had the second highest rate of
turnover. Managers and executives level positions experienced significantly more separations than new
hires. The'trades'category also experienced slightly more separations than hires. Finally,those
positions which were categorized as'other'by employers experienced over fourteen times the number
of hires as separations. Employers reported only six separations in the 'other'category while they
reported 88 new hires in this same category. This again emphasizes the need for more complete
descriptions of the exact nature of a position posted online by employers.

In terms of recruitment,employers used informal networks/word of mouth as their primary method for
finding new employees. Online job boards represented the second most common form of recruitment
followed by the company's own website. Similar to the rest of the region, Elgin employers chose to do
most of their own recruiting with only 7.5%using a paid service. Elgin employers also had a number of
hard to fill positions with occupations in healthcare and tourism being cited.

The large majority of employers were able to support training(82%)with about half able to provide
some funding to do so and the rest providing flexibility or information to allow employees to pursue
training options. Cost was the most commonly cited barrier to training. Lost productivity also proved to
be a major barrier but this was actually a less common response than relevant training not being offered
locally and awareness of training programs by employers.
2. Issue Development
Stakeholder Engagement
During the summer of 2014, individual stakeholders were solicited to give input on what the current
workforce development issues and priorities should be based on the most current and local labour
market information. Community members, business owners,job seekers and service providers were
asked a series of questions based on a common set of evidence in a community profile. In total, 15 in
depth interviews were conducted.The workforce development issues were then further refined with
the input of stakeholders and the committee and were finally presented at a community workforce
planning meeting on November 14,2014. A summary of the results of the consultations are included
below.
Identifying Workforce Development Issues
Based on the consultation with employers and community stakeholders,the following list of workforce
development issues was identified.While the issues highlighted below are not an exhaustive list,they
represent the most prevalent responses to questions about workforce challenges based on the local
labour market data:

3. Community Engagement
Community Workforce Planning Meeting
On 14 November 2014,the Elgin Workforce Development Committee convened a meeting of
community stakeholders. Stakeholders were invited to discuss the relevant local labour market
information and the workforce issues listed above that were identified from stakeholder interviews.
In total,there were 55 attendees at the workforce planning event. This included
7:05 p.m. -Justin Dias,Elgin Workforce Development Committ... Page 61 of 267
13 municipal politicians
Representation from local MP and MPP
18 community organizations
There was representation from across the region as community organizations,education,employment
service providers,job seekers and employers all participated in the strategic planning process.
The format for the consultation followed the following process:
1. Presentation of local labour market information and discussion
2. Presentation of local workforce development issues categories identified through stakeholder
interviews
3. Facilitated group discussions about one of the key issue categories
4. Table brainstorming of possible solutions and report back to the entire group
The community workforce planning meeting concluded with all attendees having the opportunity to
vote on the two issue categories that they thought should be a priority going forward. This was
conducted through a confidential,online voting application.The results of the voting are shown below.

4. The Strategy:
The committee took the results of the voting and attempted to determine the actions and initiatives
that would make up the 2015 Elgin-St.Thomas Labour Force Strategy. The strategy is designed to
complement current initiatives already underway. It is also designed to make efficient use of shared
resources,reflect the focus areas of the organizations that make up the committee and broader
7:05 p.m. -Justin Dias,Elgin Workforce Development Committ... Page 62 of 267
community. The strategy is also designed to include initiative and activities that promote the target
sectors for economic development as much as possible.
The following table represents the action plan that was created based on the data,the stakeholder
interviews,the community consultation meeting and the results of the voting on top priorities. These
actions will continue to be developed and lead actors and supporters will be recruited over the coming
months.

Attention: Mr. Paul Shipway,Administrator
Re: Richmond Community Drinking Water System Inspection Report(WW#260074854)
Inspection conducted on January 08, 2015
Dear Mr. Shipway,
The enclosed Drinking Water Inspection Report outlines non-compliance, if any,with Ministry legislation, and
policies for the above noted water system. Violations noted in this report, if any, have been evaluated based
on community risk. These violations will be monitored for compliance with the minimum standards for drinking
water in Ontario as set forth under the Safe Drinking Water Act and associated regulations. Where risk is
deemed to be high and/or compliance is an ongoing concern,violations will be forwarded to this Ministry's
Investigation and Enforcement Branch.
In order to measure individual inspection results,the Ministry has established an inspection compliance risk
framework based on the principles of the Inspection, Investigation &Enforcement(II&E)Secretariat and
advice of internal/external risk experts. The Inspection Summary Rating Record (IRR)provides the Ministry,
the system owner and the local Public Health Units with a summarized quantitative measure of the drinking
water system's annual inspection and regulated water quality testing performance.
Section 19 of the Safe Drinking Water Act(Standard of Care)creates a number of obligations for individuals
who exercise decision-making authority over municipal drinking water systems. Please be aware that the
Ministry has encouraged such individuals, particularly municipal councillors,to take steps to be better informed
about the drinking water systems over which they have decision-making authority.These steps could include
asking for a copy of this inspection report and a review of its findings. Further information about Section 19 can
be found in "Taking Care of Your Drinking Water:A guide for members of municipal council"found under
"Resources"on the Drinking Water Ontario website at www.ontario.ca/drinkingwater.
Please note the attached IRR methodology memo describing how the risk rating model has improved to better
reflect the health related and administrative non-compliance found in an inspection report. IRR ratings are
published(for the previous inspection year)in the Ministry's Chief Drinking Water Inspector's Annual Report. If
you have any questions or concerns regarding the rating, please contact Tom Clubb, Drinking Water Program
Supervisor, at(519)873-5122.

August 21, 2013.
2-The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham, Schedule C,Authorization to Alter the Drinking
Water System, Issue#1, issued August 21,2013.
3-The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham, Schedule C,Authorization to Alter the Drinking
Water System, Issue#2, issued December 20, 2013.
Other operational documents maintained by the Owner for the inspection period of January 1,2014
through December 31,2014 were also reviewed in conjunction with this compliance evaluation.
SOURCE
* The drinking water system management was aware of the potential sources of pollution or
activities that could impair source water quality as contained in the approved Assessment
Report.
The production wells are surrounded by farmland and this could be the cause for the elevated
nitrate levels found in the raw water supply.
* The owner was maintaining the production well(s) in a manner sufficient to prevent entry
into the well of surface water and other foreign materials.
There are 3 new production wells for the water system and one monitoring well.There are two
overburden wells(TW2-12,TW3-12)and one bedrock well(TW1-10). During the physical
inspection, each well was visually inspected and all components appeared to be in good condition.
It is recommended that the bedrock and monitoring wells located near the pumphouse be protected
from possible vehicular damage.
* The owner was maintaining the municipal wells not being used as a raw water supply in a
manner to prevent the entry of surface water and other foreign materials.
The bedrock well is presently not being used as a source of raw water for the drinking water
system.
CAPACITY ASSESSMENT
* There was sufficient monitoring of flow as required by the Permit and Licence or Approval
issued under Part V of the SDWA
During the physical inspection,there were 4 flow meters installed in the water treatment system.
There was 1 on each of the incoming production wells and there was 1 on each of the discharge

CAPACITY ASSESSMENT
* Flow measuring devices were calibrated or verified in accordance with the requirements of
a Permit and Licence or Approval issued under Part V of the SDWA.
The calibration records indicate that the flow meters were calibrated on December 16,2014. The
Owner must ensure that the flow meters are calibrated on an annual basis or in accordance with
the manufacturer instructions and that the calibration records are available for review.
TREATMENT PROCESSES
* The owner had ensured that all equipment was installed in accordance with Schedule A and
Schedule C of the Drinking Water Works Permit.
During the physical inspection of the water system, it appeared that all equipment listed in the
current Drinking Water Works Permit had been installed.
* Records indicated that the treatment equipment was operated in a manner that achieved the
design capabilities required under Ontario Regulation 170/03 or a Permit, Licence or
Approval issued under Part V of the SDWA at all times that water was being supplied to
consumers.
The water treatment system uses UV disinfection and sodium hypochlorite for the disinfection of
the raw water supply. Records reviewed for the inspection period include log records and SCADA
records. There are log records related to chlorine residual concentrations for primary and
secondary disinfection and records indicate that the minimum chlorine residual was maintained for
proper disinfection. There are log records for turbidity measurements. The water system uses
SCADA to capture data related to the chlorine analyzers,turbidity analyzers,flow meters and
nitrate analyzer. Log records are maintained for the chlorine residual in the distribution system.
The UV system has built-in sensors that monitor the UV dose and if the system develops problems,
the system will activate a solenoid valve which will shut off the water supply to prevent improperly
disinfected water from entering the distribution system.
There was an Adverse Water Quality Incident(AWQI)reported by the Owner on March 09,2014.
This incident was the result of a low chlorine event at the pumphouse where improperly disinfected
water was sent out into the water distribution system. The Owner took corrective actions by
restoring the chlorine residual for proper disinfection,flushed the water distribution system and took
bacteriological samples. Upon review of the chlorine disinfection requirements, it was identified
that proper disinfection was maintained during this low chlorine event. The operator used the
wrong disinfection criteria for the inactivation of viruses by free chlorine. The operator used a log
inactivation of 4 instead of 2 in his calculations and thus making it appear like proper disinfection
was not maintained. A total log inactivation of 4 is required for this GUDI well supply and this is
achieved with UV disinfection (2 log inactivation)and with free chlorine disinfection (2 log
inactivation).
* Records confirmed that the water treatment equipment which provides chlorination or
chloramination for secondary disinfection purposes was operated so that at all times and all
locations in the distribution system the chlorine residual was never less than 0.05 mg/I free
or 0.25 mg/I combined.
Log records reviewed indicate that the chlorine residual in the distribution system was above 0.05
mg/L at all times.
* The primary disinfection equipment was equipped with alarms or shut-off mechanisms that
satisfied the standards described in Section 1-6(1)of Schedule 1 of Ontario Regulation
170/03.
The UV disinfection system in the pumphouse is equipped with solenoid valves in the event of a
system failure. The UV alarms are dispatched electronically and must be acknowledged/acted
upon by an operator.

TREATMENT PROCESSES
* The owner had evidence indicating that all chemicals and materials that come in contact
with water within the drinking water system met the AWWA and ANSI standards in
accordance with the Permit and Licence issued under Part V of the SDWA.
The Owner provided records to indicate that treatment chemicals(sodium hypochlorite, salt
granules)were NSF certified. The Owner is also aware that materials that come into contact with
drinking water must meet applicable requirements.
* Up-to-date plans for the drinking-water system were available in accordance with the Permit
and Licence issued under Part V of the SDWA.
Plans for the newly constructed treatment system are contained in the Operations and
Maintenance Manual. The distribution system was not constructed to municipal construction
standards. The Owner created a diagram for the distribution system with limited information.
* The facility and equipment appeared to be maintained and in a fit state of repair.
During the physical inspection,the treatment facility appeared to be well maintained and in working
order. The Owner indicated that there is a regular maintenance schedule for the treatment plant
and components of the distribution system.
* The Operator-in-Charge had ensured that all equipment used in the processes was
monitored, inspected,and evaluated.
The OIC inspects, maintains and makes adjustments to treatment processes and this information is
recorded on facility logsheets. The OIC also reviews and signs a daily summary sheet for the
SCADA system on a regular basis. This summary sheet provides an overview of the SCADA
monitored parameters for the drinking water system.
* Based on information provided by the owner/operator, it was not likely that contaminants
entering the floor drains would have come in contact with the source water or treated water.
The floor drains in the pumphouse lead to the natural environment.
* Measures were taken to ensure that pesticides were not applied,stored,or mixed in the
immediate vicinity of source(s),treatment,and storage facilities.
The Owner indicated that they do not use or store pesticides.
TREATMENT PROCESS MONITORING
* Primary disinfection chlorine monitoring was being conducted at a location approved by
Permit, Licence or Approval issued under Part V of the SDWA,or at/near a location where
the intended CT had just been achieved.
The chlorine monitoring in the pumphouse is conducted after the treated water has passed through
the contact tanks and just after the UV disinfection units. At this point, it is understood that primary
disinfection has taken place as long as the minimum chlorine residual identified in the CT
calculation has been met and the UV disinfection units are in operation. Details of how primary
disinfection is achieved at the pumphouse is contained in the Operations and Maintenance Manual.
* Operators were aware of the operational criteria necessary to achieve primary disinfection
within the drinking water system.
The operators are aware that a combination of UV disinfection and a specific concentration of free
chlorine is required to achieve primary disinfection for the raw water supply. The operators were
also aware that the large contact tanks in the pumphouse are used to develop contact time(CT)
values for proper disinfection.

TREATMENT PROCESS MONITORING
* Continuous monitoring of each filter effluent line was being performed for turbidity.
The groundwater source is considered GUDI without effective in-situ filtration. Turbidity is
monitored continuously after the cartridge filters with turbidity analyzers.
* The secondary disinfectant residual was measured as required for the distribution system.
Secondary disinfection is measured in the distribution system by operators on a regular basis. At
least 2 chlorine residual samples are taken per week to ensure that secondary disinfection is
maintained throughout the distribution system. The operators perform 1 chlorine residual test in
the distribution system on one day and they perform one additional test at least 48 hours later
during the same week.
* Records confirmed that the maximum free chlorine residual in the distribution system was
less than 4.0 mg/L or that the combined chlorine residual was less than 3.0 mg/L.
* Operators were examining continuous monitoring test results and they were examining the
results within 72 hours of the test.
The Owner has indicated that daily summary sheets which provide an overview(minimum,
maximum and average values)of the SCADA data are printed on a daily basis and they are
reviewed,dated and signed by an operator. The operator must ensure that the raw data is also
reviewed to ensure the record is complete and free of errors.
* Samples for chlorine residual analysis were tested using an acceptable portable device.
The operators use a Hach colorimeter to test the chlorine residual concentrations in the
pumphouse and in the distribution system. This device is also used to check the calibration of the
continuous chlorine analyzers.
* All continuous monitoring equipment utilized for sampling and testing required by O. Reg.
170/03,or approval or order,were equipped with alarms or shut-off mechanisms that
satisfied the standards described in Schedule 6.
The continuous chlorine analyzers,turbidity analyzers and UV disinfection units(solenoid valve,
sensor)that test the treated water leaving the treatment plant have a shut-off mechanism for the
distribution pumps and alarms that dial out to the on-call operator.
* Continuous monitoring equipment that was being utilized to fulfill O. Reg. 170/03
requirements was performing tests for the parameters with at least the minimum frequency
specified in the Table in Schedule 6 of O. Reg. 170/03 and recording data with the
prescribed format.
The SCADA system is required to record chlorine residual data on a minimum 5 minute interval
and turbidity data on a minimum 15 minute interval. The records provided indicate that the
recording frequency is a 3 minute interval and the data provided includes a minimum, maximum
and average for that period of time. The SCADA system is also capturing data from the continuous
nitrate analyzer.
* All continuous analysers were calibrated, maintained,and operated, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions or the regulation.
The chlorine and turbidity analyzers in the pumphouse are checked and calibrated regularly and
this information is recorded on logsheets by operators. The Owner provided records to indicate
that the analyzers are calibrated on a monthly basis by operators and on a yearly basis by a
service technician.

residual and/or turbidity triggered an alarm or an automatic shut-off,a qualified person
responded in a timely manner and took appropriate actions.
Chlorine and turbidity are monitored by the SCADA system in the water treatment plant.When
these processes reach a set point or value,the SCADA system generates an alarm to notify
operators. The Owner indicated that operators acknowledge alarms but the type of response will
depend on the alarm situation. Information related to the alarm response is recorded in the
pumphouse logbook by the operator.
* When the primary disinfection equipment,other than that used for chlorination or
chloramination, has failed causing an alarm to sound or an automatic shut-off to occur,a
certified operator responded in a timely manner and took appropriate actions.
UV disinfection is monitored by the SCADA system in the water treatment plant. When there is a
problem with the UV system,the SCADA system generates an alarm to notify operators. The
Owner indicated that operators acknowledge alarms but the type of response will depend on the
alarm situation. Information related to the alarm response is recorded in the pumphouse logbook
by the operator.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND BEST PRACTICE ISSUES
This section provides a summary of all recommendations and best practice issues identified during the
inspection period. Details pertaining to these items can be found in the body of the inspection report. In the
interest of continuous improvement in the interim, it is recommended that owners and operators develop an
awareness of the following issues and consider measures to address them.
1. There is no backflow prevention program, policy and/or bylaw in place.
There is no by-law in place to prohibit potential cross connections.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Owner develop a by-law that would make it an offence to cross connect to the
drinking water system. The objective of such a by-law is to secure the water distribution system from
potential contamination.
2. The owner had not implemented a program for the flushing of watermains as per industry
standards.
There was no program for the flushing and/or swabbing of watermains as per AWWA standards or
equivalent.
Recommendation:
The water distribution system has no fire hydrants and limited capacity for flushing. The Owner is unsure
of the components in the distribution system. It is recommended that the Owner upgrade the distribution
system to current municipal standards.

REPORT: PS-02/15 FILE NO.
SUBJECT: 2015 TANDEM PLOW TRUCK TENDER RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATON
BACKGROUND:
The following report details the results and recommendation from the 2015 Tandem Plow Truck
tender.
As per the 2015 Capital Budget, council has approved the purchase of a new tandem plow truck
for the Public Works Department. A tender was issued to invite equipment suppliers to supply
and deliver a new tandem plow truck. The tender was based on truck chassis and plow
equipment specifications, price, delivery date,and warranty.
During the review, the tenders were examined to determine if the trucks met the required
specifications and that the bid forms were complete. The results of the tender are as follows:
1. Carrier Truck Centers(INTERNATIONAL) $250,400.00
2. Team Truck Centre(FREIGHTLINER) $256,456.00
3. London Mack(MACK) Did not bid
4. London Peterbilt(PETERBILT) Did not bid
5. Team Truck Centre(WESTERN STAR) Did not bid
All of the above prices do not include H.S.T. and do not include the trade-in value for the 2004
Plow Truck which will be sold separately.
DISCUSSION:
After a review of the bids submitted, the lowest bid is over the budgeted amount in the 2015
Capital Budget. In comparison to the bids submitted for the 2014 tandem plow truck that the
Report PS-02/15 by Vance Czerwinski,Manager of Public Works... Page 119 of 267
Municipality most recently purchased, the increase is approximately $35,450; for exactly the
same truck. After consulting with truck and equipment representatives about the increase in
truck prices, it was explained this increase in price is due to the exchange of the Canadian

RECOMMENDATION
1. THAT Report PS-02-15 be received for information;
2. AND THAT Council not accept the bid for the purchase of a new International Tandem
Plow Truck from Carrier Truck Centre the bid price of$250,400.00 plus H.S.T.as the
lowest bid is over budget.
3. AND THAT staff be permitted to re-tender or issue a request for proposal to purchase a
new tandem plow truck that is a model 2014 or newer.

Re:Annual Report on Investigations of Closed Municipal Meetings and Sunshine Law Handbook
To the Clerk and Council,
I am enclosing two copies of my Annual Report on my Office's investigations of closed municipal
meetings for the period from September 1,2013 to August 31,2014.As you are aware,in
accordance with the Municipal Act, 2001 and the Ombudsman Act,the Ontario Ombudsman
investigates these complaints in all municipalities except those that have appointed another
investigator.
Since 2008,my Open Meeting Law Enforcement Team(OMLET)has acted as a dedicated
resource for reviewing and investigating closed meeting complaints,as well as educating the

c) 2015 LPRCA BUDGET VOTE
The 2015 overall consolidated budget stands at$3.9million, a 4.9% increase over last
year, requiring a municipal levy of $1.3million. In review, one contract position was
eliminated, salary increases were capped at 1.5% and a number of capital projects
have been deferred. Staff discussed the water line upgrade required at Norfolk
Conservation Area, a project that was deferred and will be brought forward in 2016.
Discussion also revolved around collaborations with municipal partners especially in the
areas of dam studies/ maintenance and forestry activities. LPRCA has 13 water
control structures in its jurisdiction and staff explained the internal and external
inspection process and what is entailed with a comprehensive inspection review. The
GM reviewed the cost structure for the municipalities regarding dam studies and regular
dam maintenance (general levy), and capital dam maintenance and repairs/ upgrades/
decommissions (special levy to the benefitting municipalities). The Chair noted that
according to a Big Creek Region Conservation Authority Annual Report from 1963,
dams and reservoirs were first built to accommodate the growing agriculture and
tobacco industry after some dry years in the 1950's. The majority of these structures
are not serving the same function as in the past. Planning and Permit Fees were not
increased this year as they were increased significantly the previous year. As per the
Conservation Authorities Act full cost recovery is not allowed and LPRCA is currently at
approximately a 40/60, user/LPRCA, split. Further discussion ensued regarding
reserve funds, fees and provincial funding. A request for a change to the budget
format going forward was discussed and will be reviewed prior to the next budget year.
MOTION A-9/15 moved: R. Chambers seconded: J. Scholten
That LPRCA Board of Directors approves the following recommendations regarding
LPRCA's 2015 Operating and Capital budgets;

e) LEHMAN DAM TENDER REPORT
Lehman Dam is situated in Delhi and is used as a drinking water source. After routine
inspections, the sluice gate was found to be inoperable and a comprehensive
engineering review was commissioned. It was determined that it would be best to
remove the gate on the outside of the intake chamber and replace it with a gate inside
the intake chamber. The consulting engineer completed the design work which was
submitted to, and approved by, MNRF (Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry)
under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act Staff applied for funding to MNRF
through the WECI Fund (Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure ) and were
approved to receive half the cost of the projected budget. The tendering process
resulted in bids higher than the expected budget. Norfolk County has been advised
and will be invoiced for their share of the costs, and staff will again apply to WECI for
additional funding for the project. All warm-water timing windows will be observed.
MOTION A-11/15 moved: R. Chambers seconded: J. Scholten
THAT the LPRCA Board of Directors accepts the tender submitted by Simon
Construction for a total of$75,918.84 (plus tax) to repair Lehman Dam;

Subject: 2015 OPP Six Month Contract
Municipality of Attached for your consideration is a report and the following recommendations
Central Elgin from the Elgin Group Police Service's Board meeting held on January 21, 2015
regarding a new six month contract for OPP services:
"THAT the new, six month contract for OPP services be approved for
Municipality of consideration by the participating municipalities; and,
Dutton/Dunwich
THAT the Elgin Group Police Services Board work with the Commander to
develop ways and strategies to reduce overtime costs and calls for service
in an effort to work as efficiently as possible; and,
Municipality of
West Elgin THAT the PSB monitor the grant situation with a view to making a
recommendation on the need for a Police Services Board prior to the expiry
of the new contract(June 30th, 2015)."

Malahide Included in this package is a draft by-law for the agreement as well as the
agreement itself. If you agree with the Board's recommendation to enter into
the contract as presented, then please forward four(4)signed, sealed and
certified true copies of the authorizing by-law and return to my attention at your
earliest possible convenience.
Township of

- REPORT TO THE ELGIN GROUP POLICE SERVICES BOARD
From: Mark G. McDonald, Secretary/Administrator
Date: January 16,2015
Subject: 2015 Contract for OPP Services
INTRODUCTION:
Attached for the Board's consideration is the new, six month, contract for the provision of
OPP services, based on the newly approved funding formula. The Board is being asked to
review the document with the view to recommending its acceptance to the six participating
municipalities. This report provides context to this matter.
DISCUSSION:
The new billing model and cost estimates were announced in 2014 and reported directly
to each municipality. The formal contract was recently received and now requires the
Board's endorsement before it is sent to each municipality for formal acceptance and
execution. It is important to note that the term is for six months but requires one year's
notice to terminate (Section 27).
One of the over-arching considerations regarding this contract relates to the value and
efficacy of maintaining a Board. Referring to the MEMO dated November 16, 2014
entitled "Implications of the New OPP Costing Formula and Options for Municipalities",
a number of considerations were advanced, not the least of which is the value of grants
received by establishing and maintaining a Board. However, apparently the OPP are
reviewing the grant structure and are expected to make a determination on grants
sometime soon. It is possible that grants may be discontinued or altered in a way that
makes them less attractive-therefore one of the primary reasons to maintain a Board may
be eliminated. Hence the desire for a six month term to provide time to consider the
decision on grants and how that may impact the Board.
It is important to note that the contract is really a template agreement and is not subject to
negotiation or alteration. The estimates are the estimates. The only way costs can be
reduced is if the current contract has staff or equipment enhancements, which is not the
case with the Elgin Group. The only other way to reduce or avoid costs is to explore ways
to reduce calls for service and overtime. Both of these options are outside of the contract
proper and may be addressed through the Commander.
The only other significant change relates to Section 24 regarding the Detachment
Commander Selection. In the previous contract(Section 27)the Detachment Commander
was selected by a joint committee consisting of a majority of Board Members. In the new
contract the word "majority" is removed, thereby ensuring that the PSB does not have the
balance of power in the selection process.
Elgin Group Police Services Board re 2015 OPP Six Month Cont... Page 176 of 267
CONCLUSION:
The new six month contract(with one year's notice of termination) is now available for
consideration. However, there is little to negotiate.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
IONS:
THAT the new, six month contract for OPP services be approved for consideration by the
participating municipalities; and,
THAT the Elgin Group Police Services Board work with the Commander to develop ways
and strategies to reduce overtime costs and calls for service in an effort to work as
efficiently as possible; and,
THAT the PSB monitor the grant situation with a view to making a recommendation on the
need for a Police Services Board prior to the expiry of the new contract(June 30t", 2015).
All of which is respectfully submitted,

Executive Summary
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has over 100 years of experience in providing effective
community-based policing and protection throughout Ontario. The OPP has provided municipal
police services under contract for over 60 years and currently maintains contracts with over 140
communities across Ontario.
The Elgin Group requested a costing for OPP municipal policing. This proposal is based on the
Elgin Group paying an amount equal to the sum of the Elgin Group's allocated portion of the
OPP's total municipal policing base and calls for service costs and the costs for overtime,
cleaning/caretaker,accommodation, court security and offender transport as applicable. Where
a municipality chooses to receive police services from the OPP pursuant to a contract,the OPP
will provide the level of police services required to provide adequate and effective policing,
including providing the services set out in Regulation 3/99, Adequacy and Effectiveness of
Police Services under the Police Services Act.
This propose! reflects the integrated policing concept, incorporating a police services contract
for the Elgin Group with OPP highway patrol services and provincial responsibilities under one
administration. The Elgin County OPP Detachment will remain as the
Administration/Operations Centre. The resources will be deployed to the municipality from this
facility.
The Elgin County Detachment Commander will be responsible to oversee all aspects of service
delivery. The detachment management including Staff Sergeant and Sergeant/ Platoon
Leaders as applicable would provide assistance and supervision to members.of the Elgin
County Detachment.
In order to provide a location for the police and public to interact, and to facilitate the delivery of
police services in a community, the OPP encourages the establishment of Community Policing
Offices (CPOs). Where such offices exist they are usually equipped with telephone and
computer capabilities for use by officers assigned to the municipality. Any decision on the
establishment of a CPO in the Elgin County rests entirely with township council and any
associated costs will be the responsibility of the Elgin Group. It is recommended that any CPO
located within the group be maintained.
In consultation with the Police Services Board it is the intent that all existing community service
programs and community policing committees will be maintained.
Any new community service program considered may be implemented after consultation with
the Elgin Group Council, the Elgin Group Police Services Board and the Elgin County
Detachment Commander.
When a municipality chooses to receive police services from the OPP under contract,the OPP
will ensure that the municipality receives adequate and effective police services in accordance
with the Police Services Act and regulations. The shared infrastructure of the OPP broadens
local access to resources, expertise, solutions, training and management without duplicating
services. The Elgin Group will continue to benefit as additional staff are readily available from
within the Elgin County OPP Detachment as well as neighboring detachments and regions,
should the need arise.
3
Elgin Group Police Services Board re 2015 OPP Six Month Cont... Page 194 of 267
The Elgin Group will be required to establish a Police Services Board, as mandated by Section
10 of the Police Services Act that will generally determine objectives and priorities for police
services within the community, after consultation with the Detachment Commander. The
Commissioner is committed to ensuring that the Detachment Commander of the Elgin
County OPP Detachment responds appropriately to the Board's advice and priorities in a
manner consistent with the Board's identified concerns, expectations and needs.
It is long-standing OPP policy and practice to be accountable to the communities we serve. The
Commander of the Elgin County OPP detachment, or designee, will report to the Police
Services Board on a regular basis,as per the direction of the Board. The OPP is experienced in
being accountable to the municipalities we serve. With over 100 Contracts currently in place
and future contracts pending, there is great emphasis placed on OPP accountability to Police
Services Boards.
The OPP is required to provide provincial level emergency response that can be mobilized in
times of emergency, disaster or a specialized investigative need. The OPP meets such
emergent needs, on an on-call, as-needed basis, by deploying small numbers of officers from
multiple locations and assignments, both provincial and municipal. During such times,the OPP
is responsible to ensure that appropriate resources remain in place to make certain the
municipality receives adequate and effective police services in accordance with the Police
Services Act and regulations. The use of OPP officers in cases where there is a provincial
obligation to respond will be accounted for as part of the billing model.
if the Elgin Group chooses to accept an OPP contract for its policing service, the Elgin County
OPP Detachment will assign resources,focusing on meeting the Elgin Group's unique policing
needs.
Value for the Elgin Group
• Assurance of adequacy and effectiveness of police services;
• Dedication to resolving community issues through local involvement and community
policing committees;
Availability of additional staffing support from neighboring detachments, regional
headquarters and general headquarters;
ti Seamless access to a comprehensive infrastructure and specialized services;and
Assists the Detachment Commander in determining the local policing priorities and
objectives through the Elgin Group Police Services Board.
Beset on,among other things,an estimate of salary and benefit costs,the policing cost
for 2015 asyoclated with this proposal is $6,163,622. The annual billing statement is set
cut in the attachment to this proposal.

Additional Notes to the"OPP Annual Billing Statement":
• The Annual Billing Statement for this group contract is based on the sum of the total of
the cost estimates determined for the Township of Southwold, Municipality of Bayham,
Municipality of West Elgin, Municipality of Central Elgin, Municipality of Dutton/Dunwich,
and the Township of Malahide.
• The Annual Billing Statement is determined based on the new OPP billing model
effective January 1,2015.
• The Annual Billing Statement is a statement of 2015 costs based on an estimate of
salary and benefit costs. Salary and benefit costs are estimates and are subject to a
final year end adjustment.
As a result'of the implementation of the new OPP billing model municipal policing costs
are subject to Phase-in Adjustments for the calendar years 2015 to 2019. The 2015
phase-in adjustment is dependent on the final 2014 cost. Phase-in adjustments are
subject to change and are based on an annual determination:
o If the municipality is subject to an increase between the final 2014 cost and the
2015 cost, the increase will be capped to a maximum of $40 increase per
property. The capped increase of$40 plus the growth factor per property cost
will be applicable for each subsequent year until the full cost is realized.
o The growth factor is a set per property cost for all municipalities dependent upon

TO: Mayor&Members of Council
FROM: Paul Shipway,Administrator
DATE: February 19,2015
REPORT: CAO-09/15
SUBJECT: SALE&DISPOSITION OF LAND POLICY
BACKGROUND
The Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, C.25 (the Municipal Act, 2001) has been amended by the
Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act 2006, S.O. 2006, c.32 and section 268 which
previously governed the sale of real property has been repealed.
Section 270 of the Municipal Act, 2001, enacted on January 1, 2008, now only requires the
Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham to adopt and maintain policies with respect to the sale
and other disposition of land.
DISCUSSION
The requirement for municipalities to declare real estate surplus prior to sale has been
removed from the Municipal Act, 2001 along with the provisions and regulations which prescribe
notice to be given and which types of real estate that do or do not require appraisals. This is in
keeping with the"natural person" powers of the Act, allowing municipalities to put in place a policy
that best suits the needs of the municipality with respect to the sale or other disposition of land
which allows more flexibility and efficiency to be added to the process.
Staff have reviewed best practices of other municipalities and it is apparent that there are much
more efficient methods and processes currently in use by others that are not currently available to
the Municipality of Bayham. The current Municipality of Bayham Disposition of Land By-law,attached
hereto as Appendix'A',was adopted under the Municipal Act, 1990.
A policy utilizing current best practices is attached hereto as Appendix 'B'. The proposed policy
provides for efficient,transparent and accountable disposition of land.
RECOMMENDATION
1. THAT Report CAO-09/15 re Sale and Disposition of Land Policy be received for information;
2. AND THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham direct staff to bring
forward a by-law to adopt a Sale and Disposition of Land Policy for Council consideration.

TO: Mayor&Members of Council
FROM: Paul Shipway,Administrator
DATE: February 19,2015
REPORT: CAO-010/15
SUBJECT: HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE—LARGE ITEM DAY
BACKGROUND
The last several years has seen an environmental budget line item of a Household Hazardous Waste,
Electronics and Large Item Drop-off Day, held at the public works yard at the end of May (on the
Saturday following the long weekend)each year. This year said event would take place on Saturday
May 23, 2015. In the past Municipal staff have worked this event with Clean Harbors Canada Inc.
managing the collection and disposal of the hazardous waste and Ontario Electronic Stewardship
(OES)coordinating the collection of electronics on-site.
DISCUSSION
In order to have a contract in place for handling the hazardous waste,arrangements need to be made
with Clean Harbors Canada Inc. In addition,it is beneficial to have confirmation for resident inquiries
and to provide advance public notice of the event.
The event historically costs the Municipality approximately$30,000. Due to the decrease in OMPF
funding amounting to $113,559 and an OPP cost increase of$114,449 (versus 2014 budget) staff
are recommending Council consider not holding the event for 2015 and differ consideration of the
same to 2016 Budget deliberations. The potential net impact on the 2015 Operating Budget of OMPF
and OPP alone is$228,008 or 7.6%2014 levy increase. Given the other financial requirements the
Municipality is currently assessing,including facilities,staff suggest Hazardous Waste and Bulk Items
can be dealt with through the private sector to offset costs.
Although staff would prefer Council consider all items during budget deliberations, staff must take
action on this event in the next week. As such, staff are recommending to Council that the private
sector fill the void of not holding a Hazardous Waste-Large Item Day. Examples of private sector
services include, but are not limited to, the Waste Management Bagster Service, 1-800-Got Junk or
Putnam's Disposal in Aylmer. Additionally consideration can be given to donating items to charity or
Goodwill. Lastly within 15km of the Municipal Office ten (10) Ontario Tire Stewardship drop off
locations exist and within 25km of the Municipal Office (2) Ontario Electronic Stewardship drop off
locations exist. Two local charity OES events are also planned for Straffordville in 2015. With the
exception of private non-recyclable waste item disposal, these free disposal options also decrease
the amount of material which is sent to the landfill in the Municipality's WDO reporting.
RECOMMENDATION
1. THAT Report CAO-10/15 re Hazardous Waste—Large Item Day be received for
information;

3. AND THAT Council direct staff to post a notice outlining the reasoning for the event
cancellation;

SUBJECT: RICHMOND SHED
BACKGROUND
On February 5,2015 Council received correspondence from Ms.Thiessen as a request to take
ownership of a derelict shed in the Richmond Park. Staff were unsure of ownership of the same.
DISCUSSION
Staff have reviewed ownership of the shed and confirm it is municipally owned. Staff have further
indicated that the shed would be removed in accordance with liability reductions initiatives in the
spring. As such,staff recommend Council direct staff to post notice of the shed being surplus on the
website and provide a week for interested parties to submit interest in the same. Once the time period
closes a by-law can be passed to provide the shed'as is where is',to the successful proponent,where
the proponent covers all costs and the shed is removed.
RECOMMENDATION
1. THAT Report CAO-11/15 re Richmond Shed be received for information;
2. AND THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham direct staff to
provide notice of the Shed disposal and surplus the same.

Executive Summary
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has over 100 years of experience in providing effective
community-based policing and protection throughout Ontario. The OPP has provided municipal
police services under contract for over 60 years and currently maintains contracts with over 140
communities across Ontario.
The Elgin Group requested a costing for OPP municipal policing. This proposal is based on the
Elgin Group paying an amount equal to the sum of the Elgin Group's allocated portion of the
OPP's total municipal policing base and calls for service costs and the costs for overtime,
cleaning/caretaker,accommodation, court security and offender transport as applicable. Where
a municipality chooses to receive police services from the OPP pursuant to a contract,the OPP
will provide the level of police services required to provide adequate and effective policing,
including providing the services set out in Regulation 3/99, Adequacy and Effectiveness of
Police Services under the Police Services Act.
This proposal reflects the integrated policing concept, incorporating a police services contract
for the Elgin Group with OPP highway patrol services and provincial responsibilities under one
administration. The Elgin County OPP Detachment will remain as the
AdministrationlOperations Centre. The resources will be deployed to the municipality from this
facility.
The Elgin County Detachment Commander will be responsible to oversee all aspects of service
delivery. The detachment management including Staff Sergeant and Sergeant/ Platoon
Leaders as applicable would provide assistance and supervision to members.of the Elgin
County Detachment.
In order to provide a location for the police and public to interact, and to facilitate the delivery of
police services in a community, the OPP encourages the establishment of Community Policing
Offices (CPOs). Where such offices exist they are usually equipped with telephone and
computer capabilities for use by officers assigned to the municipality. Any decision on the
establishment of a CPO in the Elgin County rests entirely with township council and any
associated costs will be the responsibility of the Elgin Group. It is recommended that any CPO
located within the group be maintained.
In consultation with the Police Services Board it is the intent that all existing community service
programs and community policing committees will be maintained.
Any new community service program considered may be implemented after consultation with
the Elgin Group Council, the Elgin Group Police Services Board and the Elgin County
Detachment Commarr .er.
When a municipality chooses to receive police services from the OPP under contract, the OPP
will ensure that the municipality receives adequate and effective police services in accordance
with the Police Services Act and regulations. The shared infrastructure of the OPP broadens
local access to resources, expertise, solutions, training and management without duplicating
services. The Elgin Group will continue to benefit as additional staff are readily available from
within the Elgin County OPP Detachment as well as neighboring detachments and regions,
should the need arise.
3
By-Law 2015-020 Being a By-Law to authorize the execution of.. Page 253 of 267
The Elgin Group will be required to establish a Police Services Board, as mandated by Section
10 of the Police Services Act that will generally determine objectives and priorities far police
services within the community, after consultation with the Detachment Commander. The
Commissioner is committed to ensuring that the Detachment Commander of the Elgin
County OPP Detachment responds appropriately to the Board's advice and priorities in a
manner consistent with the Board's identified concerns, expectations and needs.
It is long-standing OPP policy and practice to be accountable to the communities we serve. The
Commander of the Elgin County OPP detachment, or designee, will report to the Police
Services Board on a regular basis,as per the direction of the Board. The OPP Is experienced in
being accountable to the municipalities we serve. With over 100 Contracts currently in place
and future contracts pending, there is great emphasis placed on OPP accountability to Police
Services Boards.
The OPP is required to provide provincial level emergency response that can be mobilized In
times of emergency, disaster or a specialized investigative need. The OPP meets such
emergent needs, on an on-call, as-needed basis, by deploying small numbers of officers from
multiple locations and assignments, both provincial and municipal. During such times,the OPP
is responsible to ensure that appropriate resources remain in place to make certain the
municipality receives adequate and effective police services in accordance with the Police
Services Act and regulations. The use of OPP officers in cases where there is a provincial
obligation to respond will be accounted for as part of the billing model.
if the Elgin Group chooses to accept an OPP contract for its policing service,the Elgin County
OPP Detachment will assign resources,focusing on meeting the Elgin Group's unique policing
needs.
Value for the Elgin Group
- Assurance of adequacy and effectiveness of police services;
• Dedication to resolving community issues through local involvement and community
policing committees;
• Availability of additional staffing support from neighboring detachments, regional
headquarters and general headquarters;
• Seamless access to a comprehensive infrastructure and specialized services; and
G Assists the Detachment Commander in determining the local policing priorities and
objectives through the Elgin Group Police Services Board.
9ased on,among other things, an estimate of salary and benefit costs,the policing cost
for 2015 associated with this proposal Is$6,163,622. The annual billing statement is set
out in the attachment to this proposal.
