Dear Head of Council:
The Ministry of the Solicitor General is committed to keeping communities across
Ontario safe, supported and protected. I would like to take this opportunity to share
some information with your municipality regarding the anti-racism initiatives of my
ministry and the Anti-Racism Directorate (ARD), the regulatory work being done to bring
the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, into force, new police oversight
measures, police training as it relates to de-escalation, mental health and diverse
communities, mental health and addictions initiatives and investments, Community
Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Planning and police-hospital transition protocol.
Anti-Racism
Our government has zero tolerance for hate, racism or discrimination in all its forms. We
share a responsibility to speak out and act against racism and hate and build a stronger
society. Our government is committed to addressing racism and building a stronger,
more inclusive province for us all.
I am proud to be the minister responsible for Ontario’s Anti-Racism Directorate (ARD),
which leads strategic initiatives to advance anti-racism work across government with a
plan that is grounded in evidence and research. Through the ARD, the government
continues to invest in community-led research, public education and awareness
initiatives. This includes investments to the Canadian Mental Health Association
(CMHA) Ontario to undertake research that seeks to identify key mental health issues
impacting survivors of victims of homicide violence in Ontario.
Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019
Our government is also committed to addressing racism at a systemic level through the
regulatory framework under the Anti-Racism Act, 2017, and through the work we are
doing to bring the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, into force. As we work to
develop regulations under the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, we will
continue to engage racialized groups, including Black, South Asian, First Nation, Inuit
and Métis organizations. We are committed to ensuring that Ontario’s communities are
well supported and protected by law enforcement and that all interactions between
members of the public and police personnel are conducted without bias or
discrimination, and in a manner that promotes public confidence and keeps our
communities safe.

The Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, which is part of the Comprehensive
Ontario Police Services Act, 2019, provides policing and police oversight legislation.
Once in force, the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, will address a number of
recommendations made by Justice Michael H. Tulloch, including:
• Mandatory training for all police service board members, the Inspector General,
inspectors, police officers and special constables on human rights, systemic
racism as well as training that promotes the diverse, multiracial and multicultural
character of Ontario society and the rights and cultures of First Nation, Inuit and
Métis Peoples;
• The requirement for each municipality that maintains a municipal board to
prepare and publish a diversity plan to ensure members of the board are
representative of the diversity of the population of the municipality;
• Not releasing the names of officials and witnesses in SIU investigations;
• Ensuring information made available to the public about an SIU investigation
helps them understand the decision made by the SIU director; and
• Ensuring the SIU continues to publish investigative reports on its website.
New Measures for Police Oversight
Inspector General of Policing
The Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, will establish an Inspector General (IG)
of Policing who will be required to monitor and conduct inspections related to
compliance with the Act and regulations. The IG will work with policing entities to ensure
consistent application of policing across the province by measuring compliance with
prescribed standards.
Key functions of the IG include:
• Consulting with, advising, monitoring and conducting inspections of police
service boards, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachment boards, First Nation
OPP boards, OPP Advisory Council, chiefs of police, special constable
employers, police services and other policing providers regarding compliance
with the Act and regulations.
• Receiving and investigating, if warranted, public complaints about members of
police service boards, OPP detachment boards, First Nation OPP boards and the
OPP Advisory Council regarding misconduct and policing complaints regarding
the provision of adequate and effective policing, failure to comply with the Act
and regulations, and policies and procedures.
• Reporting inspection findings, issuing directions to remedy or prevent non-
compliance with the Act and imposing measures if the direction is not complied
with, or, reprimanding, suspending or removing a board member if board
member misconduct is identified.
• Conducting analysis regarding compliance with the Act and regulations.
• Reporting on the activities of the IG annually, including inspections conducted,
complaints dealt with, directions issued and measures imposed; and compliance
with the Act and regulations.

The Act also gives the IG and its inspectors the right to access closed police service
board meetings.
Law Enforcement Complaints Agency
The Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 will continue the office of the
Independent Police Review Director as the Law Enforcement Complaints Agency
(LECA), headed by the Complaints Director.
The LECA will receive and screen complaints from the public about the conduct of
police officers. In addition, the LECA will have the authority to initiate an investigation in
the absence of a public complaint if, in the Complaints Director’s opinion, it is in the
public interest to do so.
The Complaints Director may also undertake reviews of issues of a systemic nature that
have been the subject of public complaints or investigations, or that may contribute or
otherwise be related to misconduct.
The Special Investigations Unit
The Special Investigations Unit Act, 2019, (SIU Act), once in force, will set out a new
legal framework for the SIU. The SIU Act will focus and clarify the mandate of the SIU to
better ensure more timely, efficient, reasonable and transparent investigations. Key
changes contained in the Act will focus the SIU’s investigative resources where they are
needed most – on criminal activity.
The Ministry of the Attorney General will continue to consult with law enforcement,
community organizations and advocates to ensure their input is incorporated into the
development of regulations under the SIU Act.
Police Training
Training is developed and delivered in a manner that reinforces principles of fairness,
equity and compliance with the Ontario Human Rights Code and Canadian Charter of
Rights and Freedoms.
All Basic Constable Training (BCT) recruits undergo diversity-focused training designed
to improve their ability to engage with the public and respond to victims of crime. This
training focuses on improving recruits’ understanding of the experiences of, and
systemic barriers faced by, diverse communities, including racialized, Indigenous, First
Nations and Metis, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or
Questioning and Two-Spirited (LGBTQ2S) people.
Diversity and anti-racism training includes:
• Human rights framework for policing;
• Equity and inclusion;
• Harassment and discrimination;
…/4
Head of Council

• Defining police professional;
• Collection of Identifying Information in Certain Circumstances regulation;
• History of profiling in policing and the impact of racial profiling on the community;
• Profiling practices and the mindset behind it;
• Stereotyping;
• Bias free policing – racial profiling vs. criminal profiling;
• Hate crimes and bias incidents of a non-criminal nature; and
• Practical skills scenario that reinforces academic learning on hate crimes.
Training on Indigenous issues includes:
• Indigenous culture;
• Residential schools;
• Land claims and treaties;
• First Nations Policing;
• Cultural appropriation;
• Cultural practices; and
• Practical skills scenario that reinforces academic learning on Indigenous issues.
The Serving with Pride organization attends each intake to deliver a presentation to all
recruits entitled “LGBTQ2S 101” which covers a number of issues related to the
LGBTQ2S communities including historical events, current and appropriate terminology,
gender expression, gender identity and other topics.
In addition to the standalone sessions, the above noted issues are interwoven and
reinforced throughout the BCT program. For example, recruits are taught to respond to
victims in a trauma-informed manner for all victims of crime acknowledging potentially
vulnerable groups.
De-escalation and Mental Health Crisis Response Training
The Ontario Police College’s current de-escalation training emphasizes communication
techniques such as establishing rapport, threat management and conflict resolution and
mediation.
The training specifically addresses scenarios in which police interact with people in
crisis with a goal of resolving conflicts in a manner that protects the safety of the public,
the person in crisis and police officers. Officers must also undertake follow-up training
every 12 months. Police services are also encouraged to have policies and procedures
in place as set out in the “Use of Force” Guideline. This includes procedures for impact
weapons, aerosol weapons, conducted energy weapons, firearms and use of force
reporting.
Training on the BCT program is reviewed and updated to reflect the most current
information after every BCT intake.

Once in force, the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, will require all police
officers, special constables and board members to successfully complete training
related to human rights, systemic racism and the rights and cultures of Indigenous
Peoples. This training will also be required for the new Inspector General of Policing, its
inspectors, the Complaints Director at LECA and LECA investigators. This is part of the
government’s commitment to ensure that all interactions are conducted without bias or
discrimination, and in a manner that promotes public confidence and keeps
communities safe.
Mental Health and Addictions Initiatives and Investments
Dedicated Funding for Mental Health and Addictions Programs
Ontario’s community mental health services include:
• assertive community treatment teams, case management, crisis intervention,
early psychosis intervention, eating disorders programs, vocational programs,
supportive housing and consumer/survivor initiatives, peer supports and other
programs; and
• initiatives to keep people with serious mental health issues out of the criminal
justice system which include, but are not limited to, court support and diversion,
crisis intervention and safe beds.
In July 2018, Ontario announced its commitment to invest $3.8 billion over 10 years,
with the support of the Government of Canada, to develop and implement a
comprehensive and connected mental health and addictions strategy. This includes
$174 million for mental health and addictions programs in 2019-20. As part of the $174
million commitment of funds to support mental health and addictions in 2019-20, my
ministry partnered with the Ministry of Health to announce $18.3 million in new funding
to support those affected by mental health and addictions challenges in the justice
sector.
Specifically, in 2019-20, the Ministry of Health provided funding for an integrated set of
mobile crisis services that assist in the de-escalation and stabilization of persons in
crisis and their connection to community programming and supports to address their
physical and mental well-being over the longer term, in order to prevent further crises.
Five teams were implemented in 2019-20 with $6.95 million of the $174 million in new,
annualized funding to develop and enhance mobile crisis services. Mobile crisis
services partner police with community mental health organizations to respond to
persons in mental health and addictions (MHA) crises and determine if the crisis:
• can be de-escalated and resolved at the scene;
• warrants further psychiatric attention at hospital emergency rooms; or
• requires short-term community stabilization and reintegration.
Part of the $18.3 million in new funding also includes $2.5 million for various programs
run by the ministry, one of which includes de-escalation training.

Ministry of the Solicitor General Grant Programs
Apart from the dedicated funding for mental health and addictions programs highlighted
above, the ministry also offers a number of grant programs that are primarily available
to police services, working in collaboration with municipal and community partners, to
support local Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) initiatives, including mental
health-related programs. For example, under the 2019-20 to 2021-22 Community Safety
and Policing Grant local and provincial priorities funding streams, the ministry is
providing funding to 27 police services/boards for projects involving an integrated
response between police and a mental health worker to respond to situations of crisis
(e.g., Mobile Crisis Response Teams).
Community Safety and Well-Being Planning
The ministry developed the Community Safety and Well-Being Planning Framework: A
Shared Commitment in Ontario booklet, which includes the CSWB Planning Framework
and a toolkit of practical guidance documents to assist municipalities, First Nations and
their community partners as they engage in the CSWB planning process. The
Framework encourages communities to work with various partners across sectors to
proactively identify and address local priority risks in the community before they
escalate and result in situations of crisis (e.g., crime, victimization or suicide). This
involves reducing the number of incidents that require enforcement by shifting to more
proactive, preventative programs and strategies that improve the social determinants of
health (e.g., education, housing, mental health).
In support of this work, effective January 1, 2019, the government mandated
municipalities lead the development of CSWB plans which identify and address local
priority risks to safety and well-being, working in partnership with police services/boards
and various other sectors, including health/mental health, education, community/social
services and children/youth services.
Complementary to the Framework, a Situation Table is one type of multi-sectoral risk
intervention model that is being implemented across our province.
The ministry also offers the Risk-driven Tracking Database (RTD), which allows for the
collection of risk-based data and helps to inform the CSWB planning process, free of
charge to communities across Ontario that are engaged in multi-sectoral risk
intervention models, such as Situation Tables. As of June 2020, 60 sites have been on-
boarded to the RTD and any communities who are interested in being on-boarded to the
RTD is encouraged to contact the ministry.

Police-Hospital Transition Protocol
Additionally, to improve front-line response to persons experiencing a mental health or
addictions-related crisis, my ministry partnered with the Ministry of Health to support the
Provincial Human Services and Justice Coordinating Committee and CMHA of Ontario
to develop a framework for local police emergency room transition protocols for persons
apprehended under the Mental Health Act.
On June 3, 2019, the Ministry of the Solicitor General and the Ministry of Health jointly
endorsed the release of Improving Police-Hospital Transitions: A Framework for
Ontario, as well as the supporting toolkit, Tools for Developing Police-Hospital
Transition Protocols in Ontario. The purpose of the framework and toolkit is to assist
police services and hospitals with developing joint emergency department transition
protocols, which are responsive to unique local needs, in order to ensure the seamless
transfer of care for persons in a mental health or addictions crisis brought to a hospital
by police officers.
I hope you find this information useful and I appreciate your municipality’s support
during this time of uncertainty.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Jones

Dear Head of Council:
Under the federal-provincial Safe Restart Agreement, the Ontario government is
providing up to $4 billion in emergency assistance so that municipalities are supported as
they respond to COVID-19. Funding for municipalities under the Safe Restart Agreement
is being provided through four streams: the Social Services Relief Fund and Municipal
Operating Funding that are being implemented by my ministry, as well as funding
streams for public health and transit being administered by the Ministry of Health and
Ministry of Transportation respectively. On August 12, 2020, I wrote to advise of your
municipality’s allocation under Phase 1 of the Municipal Operating Funding stream. The
ministry is currently in the process of making those payments. Today, I am writing to
provide information on applying for additional funding under Phase 2 of the Municipal
Operating Funding stream.
Our government recognizes that municipalities play a key role in delivering the services
that Ontarians rely on and are at the frontlines of safely reopening our economy. Through
Phase 2, we are committed to providing further financial support to those municipalities
that require additional funds to address extraordinary operating expenditures and
revenue losses arising from COVID-19 in 2020, over and above the allocation provided
under Phase 1.
Our government chose to distribute a very significant level of funding to municipalities
under Phase 1 – $695 million in total – because we wanted to ensure all municipalities
across our province could continue to deliver the important services their residents and
businesses rely on while supporting the safe reopening of our economy. For a majority of
municipalities, I anticipate this Phase 1 funding, together with the actions you have taken
to find efficiencies and address shortfalls, will be sufficient to manage 2020 financial
pressures arising from COVID-19. However, for the group of municipalities that has been
hardest hit financially by COVID-19, additional funding may be needed.
Requests for Phase 2 funding are due on October 30, 2020 and detailed information
about how to apply is now available to municipalities through the Transfer Payment
Ontario (TPON) system.

One of the requirements is a council resolution requesting financial assistance under
Phase 2. I want to emphasize that councils are responsible for assessing the financial
situation of their municipalities and proceeding with an application under Phase 2 only if
further assistance is needed to address COVID-19 pressures in 2020. Municipalities that
cannot demonstrate 2020 COVID-19 financial pressures in excess of their Phase 1
funding allocation will not be considered for additional funding under Phase 2.
In addition to a resolution of your municipal council, a reporting template must be
completed by the municipal treasurer as part of a municipality’s Phase 2 application
package. This report is designed to provide an overall picture of the municipality’s 2020
financial position and information about service adjustments, use of reserves, and other
measures being taken to manage 2020 COVID-19 operating impacts. Our government
will allocate Phase 2 funds to only those municipalities that need additional financial
assistance. The report also asks for information about your municipality’s strategies for
finding efficiencies and modernizing services. I look forward to learning about the
transformative work that I know is happening across Ontario’s municipal sector and your
efforts to keep taxes low for families in your communities.
We are not requiring municipalities to submit information about COVID -related costs
and revenue losses on a line-by-line basis, and as such the program will not offer a
direct line-by-line reimbursement for all COVID-related operating expenditures and
revenue losses reported. The federal government has stepped up. Our government is
providing an unprecedented level of provincial funding to support municipalities. And we
recognize that municipalities also have a critical role to play in finding efficiencies and
taking all available measures to address the financial challenges brought by COVID -19
so that they can continue to invest in infrastructure and deliver the services their
communities rely on during this extraordinary time.
As noted above, detailed information about how to apply for Phase 2 funding is now
available on Transfer Payment Ontario. The ministry will also offer webinars to support
treasurers and other municipal officials in understanding Phase 2 application
requirements and how to complete the required reporting template. Please note that
the deadline to submit applications is October 30, 2020. Municipalities may request
an extension November 6, 2020, but as noted in my letter of August 12, 2020 , we will be
unable to consider applications received after this date. I understand this timeline is
tight, but it is necessary to allow us to allocate funds to municipalities prior to the end of
the municipal fiscal year and meet our commitment to municipalities that need additional
help to manage 2020 financial impacts arising from COVID -19. Municipalities who are
eligible and approved to receive funding under Phase 2 will be informed before the end
of the calendar year and can expect to receive a payment in early 2021.
- 3 -
I will continue to be a strong champion for municipalities as our government charts a
path to a safe, strong economic recovery. I extend my thanks to all 444 municipal heads
of council for your continued efforts to keep all of our communities across this province
safe and to deliver the services your residents and businesses need. Working together,
we will get Ontario back on track.
Sincerely,
Steve Clark

RE: Modified Holiday Parade in Elgin-Middlesex-London
Dear Business Owners, Service Clubs, Organizations and Municipalities,
Every year our community enjoys coming together to celebrate the season with family,
friends and neighbours through local holiday parades. It’s hard to imagine not gathering
to spread cheer in some way at the end of 2020. That’s why, under the guidance of the
Southwestern Public Health Unit and the support of the City of St. Thomas, we will be
hosting a modified holiday parade in Pinafore Park to celebrate the holidays in a different
fashion.
Today, we are reaching out to you as business owners, local municipal leaders, and
volunteers to request your assistance in getting the word out to interested participants in
your community, and invite you to be part of this exciting event by hosting a display. Our
planning committee, chaired by Jill Ferguson, Delany Leitch, and Andrew Buttigieg, will
be meeting in the coming weeks to confirm implementation details. We are currently
aiming to have the drive-thru parade occur on the first weekend in December in St.
Thomas’s Pinafore Park.
We have attached our “EML Reverse Holiday Parade” graphics for you to share with
your networks and ask that any interested participants or volunteers please contact
emlparade@gmail.com for more information and to be added to our communications list.
We know that the pandemic has created social isolation, financial hardship and stress for
many families in Elgin-Middlesex-London. This event will no doubt bring much needed
holiday cheer to our community this season.

Karen Vecchio Jeff Yurek

Sent via email to all Ontario Municipal Clerks
Dear Municipal Clerks,
At its meeting held September 24, 2020, Wellington County Council approved the following
recommendation from the Administration, Finance and Human Resources Committee:
WHEREAS previous assessment methodologies for aggregate resource properties valued
areas that were used for aggregate resources or gravel pits at industrial land rates on a per
acre basis of the total site and such properties were formally classified and taxed as industrial
lands; and
WHEREAS Wellington County Council supports a fair and equitable assessment system for a ll
aggregate resource properties; and
WHEREAS the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation determined, with the
participation only of the Ontario Stone, Sand and Gravel Association, revised criteria for
assessing aggregate resource properties; and
WHEREAS Wellington County Council has concerns that the revised criteria does not fairly
assess the current value of the aggregate resource properties.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
(a) That Wellington County Council does not consider the revised criteria for assessment of
aggregate resource properties as a fair method of valuation for these properties; and
(b) That Wellington County Council believes there is a need to review the current assessment
scheme for aggregate resource properties to address the inequity of property values; and
(c) That Wellington County Council hereby calls upon the Province to work with the Municipal
Property Assessment Corporation to address the assessment issue so that aggregate resource
properties are assessed for their industrial value; and
(d) That Wellington County Council direct the Clerk to provide a copy of this motion to the
Ministers of Finance; Municipal Affairs and Housing; and Natural Resources and Forestry; and
to AMO, ROMA, and all Ontario municipalities and loc al MPP(s).
Please find the Aggregate Resource Property Valuation and Advocacy report and Municipal
Resolution enclosed.
Wellington County Council is requesting that all Ontario municipalities adopt the Municipal
Resolution and forward to Donna Bryce, Wellington County Clerk at donnab@wellington.ca
upon passing.
Should you have any questions please contact Ken DeHart, County Treasurer, at
kend@wellington.ca or call 519.837.2600 ext 2920.

COMMITTEE REPORT
To: Chair and Members of the Administration, Finance and Human Resources Committee
From: Ken DeHart, County Treasurer
Date: Tuesday, September 15, 2020
Subject: Aggregate Resource Property Valuation and Advocacy Report
Background:
Through the County’s Assessment Base Management Policy and Programme approved in 2016;
Wellington County has made significant efforts to maintain, protect and enhance the quality of the
assessment roll. This includes reviewing the accuracy of individual assessments and ensuring the
equitable distribution of the tax burden. The County remains a strong advocate for the accurate and
equitable valuation and property tax treatment of all properties, including gravel pit and aggregate
resource properties in the County and throughout Ontario.
The County has been actively pursuing fair and accurate assessment valuations for gravel pits through
two streams:
1. Assessment appeals heard by the Assessment Review Board
2. Advocacy through the province on a permanent policy solution
Assessment Appeals
The County has filed assessment appeals on all aggregate producing properties in its three southern-
most municipalities, being Puslinch, Erin and Guelph/Eramosa for the 2017 to 2020 taxation years. The
purpose of these appeals is to ensure that the current value assessment of these properties is captured
through the existing legislation, and to deal with how those properties are classified for taxation
purposes.
The effect of the current property tax valuation structure by the Municipal Property Assessment
Corporation (“MPAC”) unfairly sees active gravel pits incurring less property tax than many single-
family homes and small businesses as a result of unduly low and inaccurate current value assessments.
It also leads to properties that are located in the same areas and are similar to gravel pits receiving
vastly different property valuations, which contradicts the principle of fairness and transparency
underpinning our taxation system that similar properties should be treated and taxed equally.
Arbitrarily classifying gravel pits as among the lowest form of farmland (Class 5) sets an artificial cap on
these producers’ property assessments and keeps their property taxes well below what they should be
paying. In turn, residents and businesses are subsidizing the break that gravel producers are receiving.
In terms of next steps for these appeals, a settlement conference is scheduled to take place on
September 16 and hearings are scheduled for the weeks of November 16 and 23.
Advocacy for a Permanent Policy Solution
The County has been working with its colleagues through the Top Aggregate Producing Municipalities
of Ontario (TAPMO) to raise awareness of the assessments and the inequitable treatment of these
properties and ask the government to review how these properties are assessed and treated from a
property tax policy perspective through the MPAC review that is currently taking place.
Through this work, TAPMO endorsed the attached municipal resolution to be shared with TAPMO
municipalities for consideration at local Councils. The resolution formally asks the province to review
how these properties are assessed in light of the inequitable treatment in comparison to other
residential and business properties in the municipality. Several municipalities across the province have
approved and forwarded this resolution to the province and local MPPs.
To be clear, the County believes MPAC’s property valuation is incorrect even within the current
legislation, however, the County is looking for further direction and possible legislative or regulatory
changes that will eliminate future disputes. This kind of permanent policy change is in everyone’s best
interest to resolve this issue once and for all.
Staff recommend that the Administration, Finance and Human Resources Committee support the
resolution and pass it along to County Council for approval. This is also an opportunity for the County
to remind its member municipalities to review and give consideration to this resolution as well.
AMO Delegation Meeting
On August 18, 2020, in collaboration with the Top Aggregate Producing Municipalities of Ontario
(TAPMO), County representatives met with Stan Cho, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of
Finance, to discuss the need to improve how aggregate properties are assessed across Ontario under
an equitable valuation system. The meeting was held during the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario (AMO) conference. This is where municipal and provincial policymakers come together to
discuss pressing issues facing both levels of government.
Wellington County and other TAPMO members presented several policy-driven solutions to Mr. Cho
that would make MPAC’s property tax valuations accurate and equitable. There are many possible
legislative, regulatory or policy changes that can achieve a permanent solution. These include:
• Creating a separate class for aggregate producing properties (as was done for landfills in 2015);
• Directive (or regulation) from the Minister to MPAC regarding how to assess these types of
properties to reflect their true market or industrial value;
• Remove the aggregate exemption from the Assessment Act (as was the situation prior to 2008).
This would enable municipalities to maintain stability in local taxation levels and meet the needs of
their communities. Directing MPAC on how to assess these properties based on their true market
value makes common sense and will result in stability and accuracy in the assessment process. The
solution to remove the exemption of aggregate in the Assessment Act would allow MPAC to assess the
full value of the property.
Summary
Aggregate sites are important job creators and an increasingly critical element of public works that
help to fuel steady economic growth across Ontario, especially as part of municipalities’ post-pandemic
recovery. Yet, under the current MPAC valuation formula, their current value assessment is inaccurate
such that these sites generate significantly less revenue for municipalities and the Province than other
possible uses for the same land. This costs Ontario municipalities millions of dollars in lost tax revenue
every year and negatively impacts their abilities to deliver more fulsome services and programmes to
residents. The current system also generates less Education property taxes which shifts even more tax
burden onto homeowners and small businesses. Municipalities are therefore eager to find a solution
that is fair for all involved: the municipality, taxpayers, and aggregate producers.
COVID-19 has highlighted the urgency for a policy-driven, equitable approach. Municipalities across
Ontario are fighting to continue providing a high standard of services to our families and businesses
who need them now more than ever. The lost tax revenue undermines our ability to enhance those
services and make key infrastructure investments at a time when our residents are suffering. The
County wants to be fair to aggregate producers while recognizing that they should be part of the
solution in terms of helping families and businesses get back on their feet – the very people who are
carrying the burden of the current MPAC system.
Recommendation:
That the Aggregate Resource Property Valuation and Advocacy Update Report be received for
information; and
That the attached resolution be supported by County Council and sent to the Ministry of Finance.
Respectfully submitted,
Ken DeHart, CPA, CGA
County Treasurer
