Karen Vecchio
Member of Parliament
Elgin—Middlesex—London
May 7, 2021
Dear Council,
On December 11th, 2020, the House of Commons passed a motion introduced by Conservative MP
Todd Doherty, through unanimous consent, to bring a national 3-digit suicide prevention hotline to
Canada.
That, given that the alarming rate of suicide in Canada constitutes a national
health crisis, the House call on the government to take immediate action, in
collaboration with our provinces, to establish a national suicide prevention
hotline that consolidates all suicide crisis numbers into one easy to remember
three-digit (988) hot‐ line that is accessible to all Canadians.
We’re asking all municipalities across Canada to consider passing a motion similar, to the one
attached below. In order to make 988 a reality, we must continue to put pressure on the government
and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
The past year has been a challenging year. Lives and livelihoods have been lost. We have begun to
see the devastating impacts that COVID has had, through isolation, on the mental health of
Canadians. The rates of suicide continue to rise. As elected officials and as leaders, and especially
during this period of difficulty as a nation, Canadians are counting on all of us to make a difference.
Please consider passing this motion as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Karen Vecchio
Member of Parliament
Elgin-Middlesex-London
Deputy House Leader of the Official Opposition
Draft motion:
Support for 988 Crisis Line
WHEREAS the Federal government has passed a motion to adopt 988, a National three-digit suicide
and crisis hotline;
AND WHEREAS the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for suicide prevention
services by 200 per cent;
AND WHEREAS existing suicide prevention hotlines require the user to remember a 10-digit
number and go through directories or be placed on hold;
AND WHEREAS in 2O22 the United States will have in place a national 988 crisis hotline;
AND WHEREAS _______________ Town Council/Municipality/City recognizes that it is a
significant and important initiative to ensure critical barriers are removed to those in a crisis and
seeking help;
NOW THEREFORE BE lT RESOLVED THAT ________________Town
Council/Municipality/City endorses this 988 crisis line initiative;
and that Staff be directed to send a letter indicating such support to the local MP, MPP, Federal
Minister of Health, the CRTC and local area municipalities to indicate our support.

22413 Hoskins Line, Rodney Ontario N0L 2C0
May 14, 2021
At the Regular Meeting of Council on May 13, 2021 the Council of the Municipality of
West Elgin passed the following Resolution: Resolution No. 2021- 147
Moved: Councillor Rowe
Seconded: Deputy Mayor Leatham
Whereas Phragmites australis (Phragmites) is an invasive perennial grass that
continues to cause severe damage to wetlands and beaches in areas around the Great
Lakes; and
Whereas Phragmites australis grows and spreads rapidly, allowing the plant to invade
new areas and grow into large monoculture stands in a short amount of time, and is an
allelopathic plant that secretes toxins from its roots into the soil which impede the
growth of neighbouring plant species; and
Whereas Phragmites australis results in loss of biodiversity and species richness, loss
of habitat, changes in hydrology due to its high metabolic rate, changes in nutrient
cycling as it is slow to decompose, and increased fire hazard due to the combustibility of
its dead stalks, and can have an adverse impact on agriculture, particularly in drainage
ditches; and
Whereas invasive Phragmites has been identified as Canada’s worst invasive plant
species by Agriculture and Agrifood Canada;
Whereas the Ontario government has made it illegal to import, deposit, release,
breed/grow, buy, sell, lease or trade invasive Phragmites under the Invasive Species
Act; and
Whereas volunteers, non-governmental organizations and various municipalities have
invested hundreds of dollars in investments and labour annually for more than eight
years in executing management plans to control invasive Phragmites on roads,
shorelines and in wetlands; and
Whereas roads and highways where Phragmites that are left untreated become spread
vectors that continually risk new and treated wetlands and shoreline areas; and
P: 519.785.0560 E: clerk@westelgin.net F: 519.785.0644 www.westelgin.net
Whereas according to “Invasive Phragmites Best Management Practices” by the
Ontario Phragmites Working Group, best roadside management practices for
Phragmites australis include detection, herbicide application, cutting, and re-treatment
of re-growth as necessary; and
Whereas these best management practices are most effective when used in a multi-
pronged approach as opposed to when used as stand-alone control measures; and
Whereas mother nature does not recognize political boundaries. Therefore, it is
imperative that Municipalities, Districts, the Province and the Federal government work
together in collaboration to eradicate Canada’s worst invasive plant species Phragmites
australis;
Whereas the Municipality of West Elgin has been implementing measures for
eradication of Phragmites over the past 3 years, including mapping of cells along
Municipal and County Roadways, applying herbicide, cutting and monitoring re-growth;
and ensuring clean equipment protocols for appropriate contract tenders; and
Whereas the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has carried out some
Phragmites eradication along Provincial highways, however this process has not been
successful because the process has not included a program to deal with surviving
plants, and also has not dealt with growth beyond the road allowance, therefore
enabling fast re-growth; and
Whereas in the past there has been no approved herbicide for use in wet sites;
however, in 2020 a product (Habitat Aqua) has been approved for use in areas of lying
water and along waterways in Ontario;
Now Therefore be it Resolved that the Municipality of West Elgin request the Ontario
Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to map, treat, monitor, and eradicate re-growth of
invasive Phragmites annually on all Provincial highways, including areas beyond the
road allowances, where Phragmites cells extend; and
Be It Further Resolved that the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO)
communicates that strategy on mapping (detecting sites) and controlling invasive
Phragmites on provincial highways, the specific highway management plans and results
by each MTO region and each highway in the region and work in coordination with the
Municipality of West Elgin; and
Be it Further Resolved that the Province of Ontario designate Phragmites australis as
a noxious weed under the Noxious Weed Act; and in collaboration with the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture, the Ontario Phragmites Working Group, and Ontario
Municipalities, carry out a public education campaign regarding best practices in
P: 519.785.0560 E: clerk@westelgin.net F: 519.785.0644 www.westelgin.net
eradicating Phragmites; and if possible, develop a system of grants to support the
uptake of these best practices by citizens; and
Be it Further Resolved that the Council for the Corporation of the Municipality of West
Elgin directs staff to send this resolution to all Municipalities in Ontario; Honourable
Omar Alghabra, Minister of Transportation (Canada); Honourable Caroline Mulroney,
Ontario Minister of Transport; James Corcoran, General Services Coordinator,
vegetation, MTO West Region; Honourable Ernie Hardeman, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs; Jeff Yurek, MPP; and Karen Vecchio MP.

Dear Minister Lecce:
Ontario School Busing is in the news… but not for the right reasons! UPS can do it, garbage
trucks, snow plows, fire trucks, ambulances can provide driveway service, but schools can’t?
Remember when school children were picked up by school bus at their driveway? Now private
road, cul-de-sac and dead-end road kids are losing long-time neighbourhood school bus pickups.
Student Transportation Services (STS) citing “for safety” school buses cannot do, 3-point-turns,
back-ups, or access private roadways even though they have been for years!
Children are being dropped on highspeed thoroughfares and high trafficked intersections and this
is more-safe? Minister Lecce, Adam died at a driveway highway pickup. Cormac died just before
Christmas '20 accessing his
bus at the base of a hill (see
Dad's public facebook post
above). Where bus stops are
located is important. Parents
around the province feel sick
with fear and worry for their
dead-end road kids whose bus
stops are being moved to
higher trafficked high-speed
There are approximately
178 Dead End Roads DSTS doesn’t enter
with 386 students (as of Dec ’20)

roadways. Further, Dead-End Road Kids are expected to walk upwards of 1-2km twice daily (caregivers 4x), in morning dark, on
narrow road shoulders (no sidewalks). Parents reporting employment and housing at risk due to losing senior caregivers who can’t
walk to new highspeed stops. Parents now having to beg off work daily to drop off/pick up children to avoid safety hazards of then
walking alone on highways unsupervised. This puts their employment at risk. Secondary School Youth reporting long distance stops
impacting their ability to log back in for afternoon classes, affecting grades.
STS advised parents road improvements are responsibility of municipalities, yet municipalities don’t own land adjacent to
roadways needed to create 77m bus turnarounds, nor have $ millions necessary to create turnarounds, so STS keep moving long-
time neighborhood pickups to highspeed common stops.
1) Parents request exceptions to allow 3-point turns or backing up where absolutely necessary to provide safer service
to dead-end and private road kids, that policies be amended to reflect.
"Something good has to come from this and that something good would be:
no child was killed and no more incidents happen," (Brother Pierre talking Feb 11/20
about 20 year agony of his little 5-yr old brother Adam's death on Highway Bus Stop.)
Don't let this be the life for Durham families. Let’s do everything possible!
For Durham Region alone, this change in busing policy means 178 dead end roads
are not accessed by Durham Student Transportation Services (DSTS), impacting 386
students and their families in Durham Region alone (DSTS letter Dec ’20)! How
many children live on private cottage roads, dead end roads or cul-de-sacs around the
province affected by this?

Watch Parents’ Video Fearful of Trillium Lakelands District School Board’s Bus Stop
Change (Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, Muskokas)
Police report filed when daughter was nearly hit by a car. Mother reports “being
thrown around like a baton” trying to get answers. “I am looking for a voice who can
help me show TLDSB, that it’s common sense not to ask children to stand in an
intersection, on an S bend of a busy high traffic area.” Kids stand in snow covered
ditch or on road shoulder to wait for bus. No other space. “I need a voice who
understands that keeping your children safe is a mother’s job… Help me fight to keep
my children safe. I pray daily that our voices will be heard.”
(Mom Tammy Mitchell Lakelands School District).
“I’m afraid it will be too late before they do anything.” News story reports family
had one vehicle leaving mom with no choice but to walk 3 children (including baby
in stroller) to new dangerous bus stop. Bus used to pick up on private road since ‘09 but now TLSB has denied request to keep safer
private stop. “Every morning Katie walks with three young children to the bus stop… she fears they’re going to get hit. “It’s a blind
corner and there’s nowhere to go. It’s so dangerous, especially with how busy this road is.” (Mom Katie Morris, Huntsville)

“We don’t take responsibility for children,
they are the parents’ responsibility up until they get to the bus stop
and on the bus,” says Catherine Shedden, District Manager, TLDSB
“The Governance Committee concluded that the DSTS Transportation
Policy has been applied… the decision is final and not subject to further
consideration. Accordingly, no further action will be taken on this
matter,” says Kelly Mechoulan, CAO of DSTS
(Response to Grandfather trying to get his 4-yr-old granddaughter’s
bus stop off 80km intersection and back to dead end road.)
2) Parents request exceptions to allow indemnification agreements to access private land for bus turnarounds,
to keep bus stops safer and closer to prescribed 800m distance away.
Dad speaks to Council Dec ’19 explaining “My kids have had 10 opportunities to be killed!” at new Highway 60 common stop.
Used to be picked up on dead-end Millar Hill Road. Now bus passed by speeding cars potentially hitting kids in morning dark while
boarding. Even though Limberlost Forest and Wildlife Reserve has offered their entrance for a bus turnaround, TLDSB says can’t
use private land unless they donate it for bus turnaround. (Dad Kevin Miller, Lake of Bays)
A tractor-trailer nearly plowed into the back of kids’ bus stopped on highway. STSCO had moved bus stop to Highway 7 where
speed limit is 80km, to avoid dead-end Leanne Avenue. “Buses don’t typically go down dead-end roads… but with the…increased
traffic, STSCO recognized change needed.” “It was really traumatic watching (oncoming semi-truck) because there was nothing we
could do.” (Parents Lisa & Matt Couture, Peterborough)
3) Parents request “Bus Stop Ahead” warning signage be required to
notify oncoming traffic prior to STS moving common stop to main roadway.
Durham parents on Dead-End Roads Jack Rabbit Run & William’s Point, whose
children being moved to base of hill on Regional Road 57, tried to get bus stop
warning signage installed, but DSTS said not warranted.
“Bus stop has been on Jack Rabbit Run for years...I have two small boys ages 4.5 and
6. I live over 1.5km from Reg Rd 57. There’s no possible way we can walk that far twice
daily! Multiple vehicles, parents, and children congregating... There’s no parking, no
shoulders... I’m a Registered Nurse in critical care. I know accidents can happen without
warning! Please take residents’ concerns seriously! I work shift work so my elderly mother
takes children to bus, but now will not be impossible! How will I support my family (if I have
to leave work to pick them up)?” (Mom Cara Tunney, Registered Nurse Critical Care, Scugog)
“My work takes me around province. Puts all responsibility of taking kids (2- and 4-year-
olds) to highway on my wife. What drives me crazy is that it’s been possible for a bus to
make a three-point turn in the past… why isn’t a smaller bus not a possibility?”
(Dad Steve Anning on Video, Hydro One Safety Officer, Scugog)

* ALL parents screaming because another car came around William’s Point bend and
almost ran over kids boarding! Kids scared… How can this be safe?
Imagine if there were snow or ice on hill?”
“Please explain Mrs. Mechoulan how you are going to deal with a child getting hit by a car
and all of us parents have continued to tell DSTS how unsafe it is?”
(Mom Laura Turnbull, Feb ’21 Email to Trustee Morton & DSTS CAO Mechoulan)
4) Parents request STS be comprised of solutions like taxis, public
transit, mini-buses or vans, worked into funding formula so doesn’t negatively
impact STS funding stats. Other options could be incorporated not just full-size buses
that can’t navigate dead-end roads. Why not use new Durham Transit On-Demand?
“We were informed Friday that the bus stop is again, at Cartwright and Church
intersection. This is an unsafe stop for any child… Vehicles are always speeding
(over 80km/hr) not to mention when there's a problem on 7A, they detour through that intersection. Our neighbours are appalled
DSTS refuses to send a bus down our road. All their children were picked up at the ends of their driveways. The road is in the best
shape it's ever been. Wilma (Wotten Regional Councillor) had commented that she used to ride the bus that came down this
road. In 2017, the town came out and met with DSTS to look at areas where the bus could turn around. Nothing ever came of it
(don't own enough land there to build turnaround). We now have 6 children who live on this road, ages 4-13. None of the families
are okay with the current bus stop, only one is using it (while they fight DSTS).” (Mom of Disabled Child, Krista Ormsby, Scugog)
Parents being told busing policy is schoolboard’s but they say it’s
STS’s, but STS say busing changes are schoolboard governance &
policy of Ministry of Transportation, meanwhile Ministry of
Education says it’s “transportation consortia that administer
policies”. Parents are spinning in circles trying to figure out who to
talk to, since STS not responding to their concerns!
Parents reporting frightening near accidents/deaths to Trustees,
School Boards, STS, but continue to be advised “it’s the parents’
responsibility to get children to bus stop safely”, and are forced to
appeal to councils, press, make videos, yet appeals largely unresolved
and unknown liabilities mounting.
5) Parents request Kid KPI “Key Performance Indicator”
be included for future Ministry “Effectiveness & Efficiency
Follow Up Reviews”, establishing benchmarks for responsive
problem solving for kids & parents’ busing concerns, and this be a
factor to receive funding. Viktoria says DSTS, “senseless bureaucratic
approach must change.” There’s more to busing than business.
“DSTS picked a community stop but my kids only ones taking bus?
…which drives right by our house? How does 40-minute walk sound
four times a day with a 2 and 4-year-old?”
(Mom Viktoria Brown, Scugog ’17 Focus Magazine Appeal to DSTS)

We need a “Kid” KPI, where high-level service is rewarded. Rui Webster who’s lost both his legs, uses prosthetic limbs to walk, yet
DSTS won’t move bus stop 160 feet to accommodate. “The bus stop was just a couple of houses down the street from
him…however busing contractor changed routes…Rui has to cross intersection to reach (new) bus stop (more traffic)… snow
plows deposit large banks of snow… Twice last week, Rui slipped and fell… "We just want bus stop put back where it was or to
assign Rui to another bus that still goes past our house – either of these things are easy to do," Kurt says. The busing contractor
has steadfastly refused to change route. School district has refused to budge as well.” (Parents Kurt & Melissa Webster, Ajax)
Transports blowing by stopped school buses on area highways a regular occurrence. "It's so stressful. It's awful. Every morning I
stress out and every afternoon when I know (transport trucks) are coming back." (Mom Cara Smetana, Martin River Nipissing)
6) Province provide “Parent Portal” for ongoing busing feedback of their
STS, so families and kids can review/provide comments, especially during Ministry STS
reviews and revisions to funding.
Provincial funding for student transportation is projected to be more than $1 billion
and Ministry routinely has “Effectiveness and Efficiency Follow-Up Reviews” of STS which
is the vehicle of STS funding.
Ontario Government announced January 27, 2020 they’d improve student
transportation experience by reviewing funding formula to achieve more efficient and
accountable system, reviewing three goals of: 1) equity, 2) fiscal responsibility,
accountability, and 3) evidence-based decision making.
Government is establishing a Student Transportation Advisory Group meeting with
Parliamentary Assistant and Ministry staff, to hear from STS sector partners expertise,
experience and ideas. Parents and children should be included in this review. Given
busing is supposed to be for the children, why not give parents and kids a say?
7) Province have GPS tracking software to notify parents
where children are when dropped off/picked up, giving evidence of safety.
On behalf of Durham Dead End Road Kids, and William’s Point Cottager’s Association, we hope our website, videos, and this report
help explain. We welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further.

Good Day,
This letter is to inform whomever can resolve this catastrophe.
My name is Curtis Sewards and live at 3250 Beacock rd., Nestleton, Ontario. L0B 1L0. I am being told
that my granddaughter is to walk 1.4 km to highway 57 to the bus stop. My granddaughter is 4 and
just started JK. Her mother has no car or drivers license, so both would have to walk. They would have
to leave about 45 minutes before pick up, which would be in the dark during the winter months. Beacock is a dirt road and has no
sidewalks or lights. This is extremely dangerous for such a cute kid.
4 years ago, I was told a similar situation, which meant my grandson would have to walk the 1.2 km to the pick-up point. The reason
was it was not safe for the bus to turn around. After taking measurements, the driveway beside mine is 25 feet wide and at least 50
feet long going to a work shop. I discussed this problem with my neighbor and he had absolutely no problem with the bus turning
around.
The transportation safety inspector from the bus company came to my house and spoke with said neighbor and the bus started
coming with no incidence for the 2 years my grandson was here. I have also had my own 2 children bused to school for their 14
years of public-school education.
Now I am being told someone has determined no bus should turn around on a private driveway? I am not sure where this came
from but my house is on a public road well maintained and plowed. I might add the grader, snowplow and garbage trucks easily use
Beacock rd. If the bus company is not allowed to send the big bus, send the small one but Avrie deserves an education.
This is a problem created with the decision
about bus turning, with no plan for the
children. I was never consulted about the
losing access to education for anyone living
at my house. Please solve this, do it for the
kids!
If any further information is required, I am
always available.

Good afternoon Mrs. Mechoulan,
I am beyond upset that this continues to happen, this is the first time I
finally got it on camera, unfortunately I did not get the car behind the bus
because it was so unsafe I cared more for the kids then the pictures, the
details of the drop off are as follows:
• parents waiting at the side of Williams point for the bus to arrive 2:54
• bus shows up lights on kids begin to come off bus
• two cars stopped on the hill behind the bus
• as kids coming off bus, car comes around bend on Williams point
road and almost runs them over!
• all parents begin yelling “Stop, Stop!” so the kids stop, car stops…
• bus closes doors and carries on
• the first car behind the bus wants to turn right on to Williams point
but has to wait for the children to clear so the second and then third car
start hammering on their horns so they can get by because they just came
up over the hill and a car is parked
• the kids all stop walking again because they don’t know what’s going
on with all the horns and they are scared.
How can this be safe? If this bus stop continues, please explain to me Mrs.
Mechoulan how you are going to deal with the situation when one of these
kids gets hit by a car and all of us parents have continued to tell the bus
transportation company how unsafe it is. This is completely unacceptable
and please let me remind you it’s a sunny dry day, I can’t even imagine if it
were raining or snowing or ice. I will continue to film and take pictures of
this very concerning situation.

Dear Ms. Turnbull,
Thank you for letting us know about the driver at the intersection. Although,
DSTS has confirmed with the bus driver that no vehicle has gone through the
bus flashing lights at the Regional Road 57 and Williams Point Road, our
Safety Officer has reached out to Durham Regional Police to request
surveillance in the area at the time of drop off and pick up at the bus stop
location.
The car at the stop sign can not legally turn into the bus lights, and the bus
driver has been instructed to block as much of the intersection at time of
stopping as possible.
DSTS will continue to monitor the bus stop with the bus operator and driver.
The current bus stop location is the closest available bus stop location, the
next closest available bus stop location is on Regional Road 57 at Park Street.
If you would prefer to use this bus stop location please let me know and DSTS staff will facilitate the change in bus stop location for
your family.
Sincerely,

I can completely understand this, but honestly now that they took the bus away, I’ll have no choice. I also would like to know what
the guidelines are distance wise as a tax payer for children to receive a bus pick up?
There are kids even further past me down Jack Rabbit Run that also will no longer get bus service. Are we not entitled to bus
service after a certain mileage away? Also I would like to complain that the bus has been travelling past my house for over 14
years that I’ve lived here with the same turn around so why now?
I understand times right now are challenging for all. I just can’t sit back and say it’s ok that they don’t have a bus anymore knowing I
pay my taxes and they had one every other year. Any guidance regarding this would be much appreciated.”

February 18,2021 |Durham Dead End Road Kids,Education Access,Parents Advocation,
School Bus Safety
I am writing on behalf of the deeply concerned parents and community members
of Williams Point.Monday,February 8,2021 was the first pick up and drop off at
the new bus stop located on the highway.Most parents found alternative
measures to get their children to school as they are not willing to risk their
children's physical safety by having them congregate at the bottom of a blind hill
with no signage,sidewalks,or designated waiting area.Those who did send their
children by bus were frightened.Other families have decided to move their
children to online schooling,being forced to make a choice between their
children's physical safety and their mental health.Our parents are losing sleep
regarding this ongoing dispute particularly following the death of a student in
Port Hope December 2/2020.Read news story.flpport the Kerin family here.
Toronto Sun Reports:Cormac Kerin,12,along with his sisters,Aishling and Shea,10.
Cormac was killed and Shea critically injured after they were struck by a vehicle while
waiting for their school bus on Dec.2/20 in Port Hope.
The parallels that can be drawn between the two bus stops are uncanny and
downright terrifying to the parents of 22 kids who are expected to stand in the
middle of an intersection on a highway at the base of a hill in winter to board the
bus...
Durl‘um Hwy57 speedstarts80km.lhen changes to50kmjusl beforez slight hills.'‘'7 7*-j I would like to share With you direct
quotes and feedback we have
received from our community to
better illustrate:
*"There is no stop sign here and the
bus is stopping on the bottom of a
blind hill where visibility is impossible.
The snow and ice makes this
dangerous spot even more
dangerous.There are no sidewalks
and cars are speeding in this area.As
a critical care nurse,I am very
concerned that this change was
made and ultimately puts ourNewDurhamHighway57CommonStop
where school bus stopping isn't visible until Ch'ldrenls I'ves 0t r'Sk'"
reaching crest of hill.Dangerous for Scugog
*"‘Dead End Road Kids.Keep safer side road P'Ck up and drop Off spot at the
stops until turnaround can be built.HWY 57 and William's Point
Intersection is not an appropriate
alternative.It isn’t safe,it's not
suitable for family routines and not good for overall community.The proposed
stop is on the downhill side of a blind hill,where vehicles are often travelling well
over the posted speed limit.This is very similar to the spot in Northumberland
County where a boy tragically lost his life at a school bus stop just this school
year.Again,add snow,ice or slippery conditions to this situation and it becomes
even more unsafe."
*We made the difficult decision to move our daughter to online.We cannot take
this risk for something that should be as simple as getting to school safely.The
impacts this will have on her mental health keep me up at night."
We understand that representatives from the Township of Scugog have
subcontracted engineers to survey and create a design for a 77 metre
turnaround for the bus at the location where it previously did a 3-point-turn,at
Jack Rabbit Run and William's Point intersection.This is a very private and safe
location and close for families who's children have disabilities to access.Our
community has rallied together offering to donate land from our park if need to
be construct a bus turnaround,to start a fundraising campaign,volunteer time,
and some have even offered to build the bus turnar0und themselves if need be,
anything to keep our children safe.
We have requested that DSTS explore alternatives that could be available such as
committing to send the mini-buses like before,having a parent or a second bus
driver act as a spotter for the bus driver to turn around safely.We are aware that
Councillor Kiezebrink sent letters to DSTS,our School Board Trustee Carolyn
Morton,and Norah Marsh,Director of Education just last week,requesting that
the bus stop remain in place in our community until the end of the school year so
we can work tougher towards providing a suitable solution and allocate the
appropriate amount of time and resources to have the solutions executed.
READ BLOG POST:
https://durhamdeadendroadkids.ca/blog-to-minister/f/minister-stephen-lecce-please-give-safe-stop---not-
highway-57
Each of our solutions,letters,and requests,have been dismissed as not possible.
DSTS actions have made it clear that there is no intention to collaborate,have
open dialogue or to work to resolve our very valid concerns.They have only
restated what the policy is,in any email,meeting,or letter;that it's the parents'
responsibility to get the children to the bus stop safely,that roadways are the
municipality’s responsibility,that it's not a hill,not a highway,that sight lines are
met and "bus stop ahead”signage is not required (but we wonder where the
measurements were taken from because the bus driver stopped mid-hill as it's
the only place to stand for the students).
Parents and community members are asking when will DSTS be open and
transparent with us?When will our concerns be responded to?Some parents
have written letters or emails only to still receive no reply.How is this an
acceptable practice of a Tax Funded Agency to simple ignore the very people
who pay their taxes that provide the funding?Our families and members feel
abandoned and ignored due to our rural status.
Minister Stephen Lecce,our elected Councillors (Ward Councillor Deborah
Kiezebrink and Regional Councillor Wotten)have done everything they can think
of to assist us.We are now asking that they engage you to investigate not only
our concerns for our children's safety but how unfairly this community feels this
matter has been handled by DSTS.
We wish to thank you in advance for your assistance and advocacy both on our
behalf and on behalf of every Dead-End Road Child in Durham facing this some
circumstance.Thank you for taking our concerns seriously and thank you to our
Councillors for being safety ambassadors within Scugog Township.

To Whom It May Concern:
We are deeply concerned about there no longer
being a bus route on our dead-end street with the
safety concerns that it raises for the future of our
two children. My wife and I have two young children,
a daughter starting school in September and a son
who will be starting 2 years behind her. We’re not
the only ones impacted… The Williams Point Cottagers Association is quickly growing and the
number of children on the street is steadily increasing. These concerns only multiply the
further away the residence is down the street from the new bus stop.
The loss of the long-time bus route on William’s Point Road will force my wife to walk our
daughter to the top of our street and will also force her to bring our son along 2.2km (twice
daily) as my work requires that I am often on the road very early or on call while working
around the province for the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development and there
would be no supervision for him in that time period. You can imagine the difficulties this
would present for her. Tying into this, if the snowplow is no longer coming down the street
early enough to accommodate for the bus route, you can envision how difficult it would be
for two young children walking through unplowed streets with no sidewalk in the morning
dark, as well as sharing roads with commuters on their way to work.
Though it breaks our hearts, we will have to consider leaving our beautiful community as
this once proposed bus stop change has now become reality.
The challenges and safety concerns this presents for what seems like a minor issue of a
three-point turn for the bus as compared to the frightful alternative of children walking
up to 2.2 kilometres to reach a bus stop that impedes live traffic coming down a blind hill
should really be reconsidered.
If you force parents to drive their children to the bus stop, not only will it congest narrow roadways during commuting
hours, but it will also increase emissions from idling vehicles. In many cases this is not even a possibility for parents
who would be unable to modify their hours of work to accommodate this. The possible economic impact of having to
put off working to accommodate an amended bus route seems very inconsiderate to taxpayers who I guarantee will see
no decrease in their taxation in response to the change.
I hope I have provided enough information to allow for thorough debate into this issue and I do hope that the safety
of the children residing on Williams Point Road is considered the paramount concern by the school board and the
Durham Student Transportation Services. I strongly urge you to reconsider this change.
We are available to discuss our concerns further at and or
by phone at and . We hope you reach out.

Whereas parents are being told busing policy is schoolboard’s, but schoolboard say its STS, who say it is
the Governance Committee of Ministry of Transportation, but Ministry of Education say it’s
“transportation consortia who administer the policy”; and trustee, governance say cannot change
policies, so parents appealing to police, press and Councils with respect to the dangers; and that an
oncoming car killed 12 year old Cormac and injured his sister while waiting at a newly relocated bus stop
at the base of a hill, and;
Whereas STS have advised road improvements are the responsibility of municipalities, yet municipalities
do not own the needed land, nor have millions of dollars to create 77m bus turnarounds, and;
Whereas Ontario Transportation Funding is $1 billion: Jan 27/20 Ministry said they’d improve student
transportation, review funding formula; and given STS gets their funding by scoring well in reviews, and
given Ministry establishing “Student Transportation Advisory Group” to hear STS sector expertise
experience, and ideas;
Now Therefore Be it Resolved that the Corporation of the Municipality of Calvin requests;
1. Exceptions to allow 3-point turns or backing up where necessary, to provide safer service to dead-end
and private road kids, that policies be amended to reflect; and when not possible,
2. Exceptions to allow indemnification agreements to access private land for bus turnarounds to keep
bus stops safer and closer to prescribed 800m distance; and when not possible,
3. “Bus Stop Ahead” warning signage be required to notify oncoming traffic, prior to STS moving
common stops to main roadway and,
4. STS be comprised of solutions like mini-buses, vans, taxis or public transit worked into funding
formulas so that it does not negatively impact STS funding stats; and,
5. Kid Key Performance Indicator (KPI) be included for Ministry “Effectiveness & Efficiency Follow Up
Reviews”, establishing benchmarks for responsive problem solving for kids & parents’ busing concerns,
and that this be an STS factor to receive funding; and,
6. That the Province provide a “Parent Portal” for ongoing busing feedback of their STS, so families and
kids can review/provide comments, especially during Ministry STS reviews and revisions to funding; and,
7. That the Province have GPS tracking software to notify parents when children picked up/dropped off,
and;
That this Motion be distributed to Premier Doug Ford; Honourable Stephen Lecce, Minister of
Education; Honourable Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation; Honourable Vic Fedeli, MPP;
Honourable Anthony Rota, MP; all Ontario Municipalities; Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA);
Ontario Good Roads Association (OGRA); and Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).

Dear Mayor Ketchabaw and Council,
On behalf of Xplornet Communications, I would like to submit a request for a Statement of
Concurrence for the proposed communication installation located at 11404 Culloden Road, Brownsville,
ON.
The document will provide a summary of the municipal and public consultation process.
MUNICIPAL & PUBLIC CONSULTATION SUMMARY:
PROTOCOL
We have confirmed that the Municipality of Bayham does not have a locally enacted land use protocol
for towers, and we were therefore required to comply with the procedures described in ISED Canada’s
default protocol CPC-2-0-03 (July 2014) “Radio communication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems”. One
of the key concerns of this process is that such installations are deployed in a manner that considers the
surroundings in exercising the mandate to deploy necessary infrastructure.
PUBLIC CONSULTATION
Under CPC Section 4.2.1.1 and 4.2.1.2, we provided formal notice allowing 30 days for comments to any
property owners within three times the tower height (45m X 3 = 135m). We asked that you assist with
contact/mailing addresses for the property PINs identified in the notification radius, and there was one
(1) unique address provided. Under CPC Section 4.2.4, a notice was placed in the Aylmer Express and the
Norfolk & Tillsonburg News on April 15th, 2021 in accordance with the criteria established therein.
PUBLIC RESPONSE
Under Section 4.2.2, we are to respond to all reasonable and relevant concerns raised during the 30-day
notification period of Section 4.2. What is considered reasonable or relevant (or not) is specifically
defined under the CPC section entitled “Public Reply Comments”. The 30-day notice period concluded
May 17th, 2021.
• The Municipality has not advised us that they have received any comments or concerns which
we were to address.
• Xplornet did not received any comments or concerns from the public
MUNICIPAL CONSULTATION
Consultation with the municipality included the following:
• Pre-consultation to discuss protocol and land use particulars
• Follow-up consultation by phone and email
• Submission of a Justification Report and Site Plan for review
• Discussion about the proposed property and installation
• Request for assistance with properties in the Public Notification Radius
• Request for the Township’s choice of newspaper
• Submission of the final Public Consultation Package (for your records)
• Request to identify any other municipal requirements
• Request for Municipal Concurrence
OTHER MUNICIPAL CONSIDERTATIONS:
As we are regulated under federal policy, provincial legislation such as the Ontario Building Code Act and
the Planning Act including zoning by-laws and site plan control do not apply to these facilities. Our
installation is not required to submit application for a building permit. We also asked you to outline
formally any other local requirements, and there were none
CONCLUDING LAND USE AUTHORITY CONSULTATION
Under CPC Section 4.3, we have satisfactorily met the consultation requirements.
Xplornet feels that the proposed site is well situated to provide and improve internet and data
services in the targeted area. The proposed site has been situated and designed to have
minimal impact on surrounding land uses.
At this time, we respectfully request the formal Statement of Concurrence by the Municipality
of Bayham Council. A copy of your concurrence will be sent to ISED Canada as they require this
to confirm our compliance with the ISED Canada’s default protocol CPC-2-0-03 Issue 5 (July
2014)
“Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems” prior to moving forward with the
installation of the proposed communication facility.
On behalf of Xplornet, we look forward to providing better internet and data service to this
area. We thank you for your attention to this request and should you have any questions or
need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 905.808.0073 or by email at
