Since the start of the pandemic, Ontario’s fire services have faced unprecedented challenges and have voiced those concerns to me as Fire Marshal. The ability to train fire service members in a COVID environment brought with it new restrictions and despite opportunities to train online and through other modes, I know that not all training priorities may have been met over the last year. In addition, my office has heard concerns from fire departments about fire code enforcement and the ability to enter premises to conduct inspections and promote fire safety. It is hoped that this grant will work to support fire services through this period of uncertainty and ongoing challenges. I am pleased to advise that the Municipality of Bayham is eligible to receive up to $6,400.00 as part of this grant program. The grant is intended to provide fire departments with the flexibility to support two priority areas. First, this grant may be put towards ongoing training needs including registration, administrative programming, technology upgrades and associated costs for attending as well for providing services. In addition, if code compliance and inspections continue to be challenging, addressing opportunities for an inspection program may include technology, capital costs and training to ensure that fire services are able to meet the demand of this need at the local level. In order to receive funds, the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) requires that the attached application be submitted by a representative of the municipality. As decisions regarding the grant may not have time to proceed to municipal council for approval within the 2 timeframes identified below, my office would be comfortable with the fire chief accepting the grant in principle on behalf of the municipality, pending formal approval from the council. To help facilitate this process, once the grant applications are approved, I will send the respective fire chief a letter of intent that will be contingent upon council’s deliberations. In order to allocate funds before March 31, 2021, all applications must be received by my office no later than March 19, 2021. In addition, as a condition of the grant, these funds must be spent by August 1, 2021, and a report back to the Fire Marshal will be required by September 1, 2021, to outline how the grant was utilized at the department level. Completed agreements should be sent by email to the Office of the Fire Marshal at ofm@ontario.ca. If you have any questions about this grant, do not hesitate to reach out to your Fire Protection Adviser.

The provincial government adopt a model of full proportionate liability to replace joint and several liability. 2. Implement enhancements to the existing limitations period including the continued applicability of the existing 10-day rule on slip and fall cases given recent judicial interpretations and whether a one-year limitation period may be beneficial. 3. Implement a cap for economic loss awards. 4. Increase the catastrophic impairment default benefit limit to $2 million and increase the third-party liability coverage to $2 million in government regulated automobile insurance plans. 5. Assess and implement additional measures which would support lower premiums or alternatives to the provision of insurance services by other entities such as non-profit insurance reciprocals. 6. Compel the insurance industry to supply all necessary financial evidence, including but not limited to, premiums, claims and deductible limit changes which support its own and municipal arguments as to the fiscal impact of joint and several liability. 7. Establish a provincial and municipal working group to consider the above and put forward recommendations to the Attorney General; and That this motion be provided to the Premier of Ontario, Minister of Finance, Attorney General of Ontario, MPP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound and all municipalities in Ontario. Sincerely, Genevieve Scharback, Director of Administration / Clerk Municipality of West Grey www.westgrey.com Norfolk County Officer of the Mayor Governor Simcoe Square 50 Colborne St., S. Simcoe, Ontario N3Y 4H3 519-426-5870 Fax:519-426-7633 norfolkcounty.ca February 23, 2021 The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson Minister of Environment and Climate Change House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Ministers, I am writing to advise that Norfolk County Council supports the attached Norfolk County Agricultural Advisory Board’s letter regarding the application of the carbon tax on primary agriculture producers. It is the recommendation of Norfolk County Council that the Federal Government consider the concerns of the agricultural community and move to exempt all primary agriculture producers from current and future carbon taxes. Please find attached the full recommendation. Thank you for your attention, Yours truly, Kristal Chopp Mayor, Norfolk County P.c. Norfolk County Council Association of Municipalities of Ontario Federation of Canadian Municipalities Ontario Municipalities Dec 7, 2020 The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, MP Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 Dear Minister Bibeau Our agricultural advisory board (AAB) who represents the agricultural sector in Norfolk County, Ontario is very concerned about the federal government’s current carbon pricing policies. It is our hope that you consider our concerns and move to exempt all primary agriculture producers from current and future carbon taxes. Carbon tax remains as a major cost of production for producers in Norfolk County. Although some farm fuel purchases are exempt, it is selective and does not meet the needs of the entire agriculture industry. Currently crop drying, heating/cooling of livestock barns and cooling of perishable commodities are still subject to full carbon taxes. Currently there are no replacements for fossil fuels in agricultural production. As a result, carbon tax policies are not appropriate for the agricultural sector and only decrease farm margins. Norfolk County which is known as Ontario’s garden is home to one of the country’s largest diversity of crop production. In addition to the extensive vegetable, fruit and grain production it boasts some of the highest ecological diverse natural habitats, plants and animals in Canada. There is approximately 25% tree cover in the county which is the highest percentage of forested land in Southwestern Ontario. Norfolk County It is also home to over 10,000 acres of woodlots and wetlands protected under Long Point Conservation Authority. In addition to the natural woodlots and wetlands there is also extensive fruit production with 2000 acres of apples and 1000 acres of sour cherries. A mature orchard can fix upwards of 18 mt of C02 annually. The adoption of production practices to protect the soil and environment are advanced in Norfolk County. There has been a wide implementation of cover cropping, planting green and reduced tillage practices all of which sequester carbon. Additional farming practices of 4R nutrient management coupled with precision technology ensure that appropriate nutrients are applied at the right time, place and rate. In many cases sensitive water sources around ponds and wetlands are planted with buffer strips and soil erosion control measures of grassed waterways and windbreaks are also common practices. ALUS (alternative land use) programs have been embraced across the county, taking unproductive land out of production, and returning it to natural native grass plantings, trees and constructed wetlands. Currently there are 1148 active projects with 189 producers covering 1573 acres in Norfolk County managed under the ALUS program. The agriculture industry has made great strides to protect the environment and will continue to improve production practices that reduces the carbon footprint in food production. The AAB board believes that all on farm fuels used in agricultural production should be exempt from carbon tax. This should include natural gas, propane, gas, and diesel. We strongly urge the government to be consistent with a sector wide exemption to current carbon tax policies.

Proud to be different Background Information to the Township of Howick Resolution No. 288-20 Requesting Amendments to the Agricultural Tile Drainage Installation Act Rational for Proposed Amendments Over the years, Howick Township staff have received many requests for tile drainage information on farmland. Usually these requests come after a change in ownership of the farm. Some of these drainage systems were installed recently but many are 30 to 40 or more years old. Many were installed by contractors who are no longer in business or who have sold the business and records are not available. Information is generally available if the tile was installed under the Tile Drain Loan Program because a drainage plan is required to be filed with the municipality. If the tile system was installed on a farm without using the Tile Drain Loan Program, there likely are no records on file at the municipal office. The other benefits to filing tile drainage plans with the municipality are identified in Section 65 of the Drainage Act. •65(1) – Subsequent subdivision of land (severance or subdivision) •65(3) – Drainage connection into a drain from lands not assessed to the drain •65(4) – Drainage disconnection of assessed lands from a drain •65(5) – Connecting to a municipal drain without approval from council Section 14 of the Act states: (1)“The Lieutenant Governor in Council may make regulations, (a) providing for the manner of issuing licences and prescribing their duration, the fees payable therefor and the terms and conditions on which they are issued; (a.1) exempting classes of persons from the requirement under section 2 to hold a licence, in such circumstances as may be prescribed and subject to such restrictions as may be prescribed; (b)Repealed: 1994, c. 27, s. 8 (5). (c) establishing classes of machine operators and prescribing the qualifications for each class and the duties that may be performed by each class; 44816 Harriston Road, RR 1, Gorrie On N0G 1X0 Tel: 519-335-3208 Fax: 519-335-6208 www.howick.ca Howick: a strong, independent, healthy, rural community. Proud to be different (d) providing for courses of instruction and examinations and requiring licence holders or applicants for a licence under this Act to attend such courses and pass such examinations; (e) prescribing the facilities and equipment to be provided by persons engaged in the business of installing drainage works; (f) prescribing standards and procedures for the installation of drainage works; (g) prescribing performance standards for machines used in installing drainage works; (h) prescribing forms and providing for their use; (i) respecting any matter necessary or advisable to carry out effectively the intent and purpose of this Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. A.14, s. 14; 1994, c. 27, s. 8 (4, 5).” I believe it would be beneficial if a regulation required the installer, of agricultural drainage, to file a plan of the drainage system with the municipality following completion of the work. While most of Section 14 deals with contractor, machine and installer licences, I think that Section 14(f) or 14(i) may allow a regulation change. This would be a better solution than an amendment to the Act. Recommendations: • Request by municipal resolution that the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs amend the Tile Drainage Installation Act and/or the regulations, under the Act, that would require tile drainage contractors file all farm tile drainage installation plans in the Municipality where the installation took place • Send the municipal resolution to: o Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs o Lisa Thompson, MPP Huron Bruce o Randy Pettapiece, MPP Perth Wellington o Rural Ontario Municipal Association roma@roma.on.ca o OFA o CFFO o All Ontario municipalities o the Land Improvement Contractors of Ontario (LICO), and o the Drainage Superintendents Association of Ontario (DSAO) Wray Wilson, Drainage Superintendent Township of Howick drainage@howick.ca 44816 Harriston Road, RR 1, Gorrie On N0G 1X0 Tel: 519-335-3208 ext 2 Fax: 519-335-6208 www.howick.ca December 3, 2020 The Honourable Ernie Hardeman Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs By email only minister.omafra@ontario.ca Dear Mr. Hardeman: Please be advised that the following resolution was passed at the December 1, 2020 Howick Council meeting: Moved by Councillor Hargrave; Seconded by Councillor Illman: Be it resolved that Council request the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs amend the Tile Drainage Installation Act and/or the regulations under the Act that would require tile drainage contractors file farm tile drainage installation plans with the local municipality; and further, this resolution be forwarded to Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson, Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece, Rural Ontario Municipal Association, Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Christian Farmers Federation Of Ontario, Land Improvement Contractors of Ontario, Drainage Superintendents of Ontario and all Ontario municipalities.

CARRIED 14. Adjournment The Chair adjourned the meeting at 7:20 p.m. Michael Columbus Dana McLachlan Chair Administrative Assistant Elgin County Cycling History Murals Project Bushell Bequest Part of a bequest received by Elgin County Museum in July 2020 from the Estate of Donna Vera Evans Bushell provides $75,000 in funding to “animate the existing network of cycling trails throughout Elgin County by adding new murals and signs along these trails in collaboration with private and public partners, and emphasize the theme of transportation.” It was felt that installing these murals along with accompanying signage would bring attention to existing cycling routes as well as provide interpretation on Elgin County’s early interest in and engagement with cycling. Canada’s first cycling organization, the Canadian Wheelman’s Association, was formed in Elgin County in the 1880s and one of its founders, Luton native Perry Doolittle, went onto have a career in racing and later founded the Canadian Automobile Association. Locations Discussions with the Estate’s representative reached the conclusion that the county library branches would be the best locations for the murals. Each branch represents an important cultural destination within its municipality, providing a contact point for residents and visitors to interact with the murals and the interpretive signage. The north wall of the Fred Bodsworth Public Library is the proposed location. It is 173 square feet and has been budgeted at $7800.00. Selection Process and Timing A Request for Pre-Qualification (RFPQ) will be issued by the County of Elgin’s Finance Department in the spring of 2021. Candidates meeting the requirements of the pre- qualification will then be given approximately 6 weeks to complete a proposed image for each of the sites for which the artist wishes to be considered. The final selection will be made by County staff based on scoring criteria that is part of the RFPQ process. Work will be awarded on a site-specific basis, meaning that up to six artists could be engaged in the project. The Executive Director of the St. Thomas-Elgin Public Art Centre has agreed to act in an advisory capacity during this process. It is expected that the murals will be completed by fall 2021. Technical Considerations • Warranty – a minimum five-year warranty for the work will be required of the artist. • Insurance – the artist engaged will carry $5 million in liability insurance and provide a certificate listing the Municipality of Bayham and the County of Elgin as additional named insured. • Anti-graffiti coating – will be applied to the finished mural. • WSIB – the artist will have a current WSIB certificate and meet all other health and safety requirements. • Wall preparation - is the responsibility of the artist. • Maintenance - will be the responsibility of the County of Elgin. • Eligibility - Individuals who are members of the municipal councils or municipal employees, County council or employees of the County are not eligible to submit. In order to be eligible for this competition, entrants must be 18 years of age or older.
