Law No. Z762-2023 on the 7th day of September 2023 under Section 34 of THE PLANNING
ACT.
AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal in
respect of the By-law by filing with the Clerk of the Municipality of Bayham not later than the 28th
day of September 2023 a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law and the
reasons in support of the objection.
THE PURPOSE of this By-law is to rezone the subject lands from an Estate Residential (ER) zone
to a site-specific Estate Residential (ER-13) zone to permit the mechanical contractor’s
warehouse and office use and accessory residential use, and to permit a reduced rear yard
setback of 6.0 metres (19.7 feet) whereas 10.0 metres (32.8 feet) is the permitted minimum for

side of Plank Road, north of Maple Grove Line and are known as 10729 Plank Road (County
Road 19).
THE EFFECT of this By-law will be to permit the mechanical services business as a
commercial/industrial use to operate from a proposed building on the subject lands, to permit an
accessory residential use, and to permit a reduced rear yard setback of 6.0 metres (19.7 ft.). The
zoning amendment follows County of Elgin approved Municipality of Bayham’s Official Plan
Amendment No. 31 on June 13, 2023 in which the land designation was changed from “Estate
Residential” to “Specific Policy Area No. 5”.

Draft Zoning By-law No. Z763-2023 BACKGROUND
Isaac and Maria Froese have submitted a rezoning application to rezone a property at 57268
Calton Line, north side, east of Toll Gate Road, legally described as Concession 5 Lot 22. The purpose of this By-law Amendment is to rezone two portions of the subject lands, one
portion from ‘Agricultural (A1-A)’ to a ‘Rural Residential (RR)’ zone to permit residential use, and the remainder from ‘A1-A’ to ‘Special Agricultural (A2)’ as a result of a surplus farm dwelling severance, in Zoning By-law No. Z456-2003.
The effect of this By-law will be to recognize the residential nature of the newly-created residential lot and to prohibit new dwellings on the retained farm parcel in accordance to the
Official Plan, as part of the clearing of Consent Conditions for Elgin Land Division Committee file number E31-23. The public meeting was held on September 7, 2023 with no signed in attendees, no persons speaking to the application, and no written public submissions. DISCUSSION The planner’s memorandum, dated May 10, 2023, accompanying Staff Report DS-34/23, dated June 1, 2023, provided an analysis of the consent application against the Zoning By-law. The requested amendment will rezone the retained parcel from an Agricultural (A1-A) Zone to a Special Agricultural (A2) Zone to prohibit new dwellings and rezone the severed parcel from an Agricultural (A1-A) Zone to a Rural Residential (RR) Zone in accordance with the Official Plan policies for surplus farm dwellings.
Staff Report DS-54/23 Froese 2
Staff and planner concur the rezoning application meets the policies and recommend approval to change the zoning to meet the condition of Consent E31-23 granted June 28, 2023.

At its meeting of September 13, 2023, the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Bracebridge ratified motion 23-GC-184, regarding the Item for Discussion – Time for Change - Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA), as follows:
“WHEREAS the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, R.S.O. 1990 (MFIPPA) came into force and effect on January 1, 1991;
AND WHEREAS municipalities, including the Town of Bracebridge, practice and continue to promote open and transparent government operations, actively disseminate information
and routinely disclose public documents upon request outside of the MFIPPA process;
AND WHEREAS government operations, public expectations, technologies, and legislation surrounding accountability and transparency have dramatically changed and MFIPPA has not advanced in line with these changes;
AND WHEREAS the creation, storage and utilization of records has changed significantly, and the Clerk of the Municipality is responsible for records and information management
programs as prescribed by the Municipal Act, 2001;
AND WHEREAS regulation 823 under MFIPPA continues to reference antiquated technology and does not adequately provide for cost recovery, and these financial shortfalls are borne by the municipal taxpayer;
AND WHEREAS the threshold to establish frivolous and/or vexatious requests is unreasonably high and allows for harassment of staff and members of municipal councils,
and unreasonably affects the operations of the municipality;
AND WHEREAS the MFIPPA fails to recognize how multiple requests from an individual, shortage of staff resources or the expense of producing a record due to its size, number, or physical location does not allow for time extensions to deliver requests and unreasonably affects the operations of the municipality;
AND WHEREAS the name of the requestor is not permitted to be disclosed to anyone other
than the person processing the access request, and this anonymity is used by requesters to abuse the MFIPPA process and does not align with the spirit of openness and transparency embraced by municipalities;
AND WHEREAS legal professionals use MFIPPA to gain access to information to launch litigation against institutions, where other remedies exist;
Page 2
AND WHEREAS there are limited resources to assist administrators or requestors to navigate the legislative process;
AND WHEREAS reform is needed to address societal and technological changes in addition to global privacy concerns and consistency across provincial legislation;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery be requested to review MFIPPA, and consider recommendations as follows:
1. That MFIPPA assign the Municipal Clerk, or their designate to be the Head under the Act;
2. That MFIPPA be updated to address current and emerging technologies;
3. That MFIPPA regulate the need for consistent routine disclosure practices across institutions;
4. That the threshold for frivolous and/or vexatious actions be reviewed, and take into consideration the community and available resources in which it is applied;
5. That the threshold for frivolous and/or vexatious also consider the anonymity of requesters, their abusive nature and language in requests to ensure protection from harassment as provided for in the Occupational Health and Safety Act;
6. That the application and scalability of fees be designed to ensure taxpayers are protected from persons abusing the access to information process;
7. That administrative practices implied or required under MFIPPA, including those of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC), be reviewed and modernized;
8. That the integrity of MFIPPA be maintained to protect personal privacy and transparent governments; and
9. And that this resolution be sent to the Premier of Ontario; Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing; Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery; and
Member of Provincial Parliament for Parry Sound-Muskoka; Muskoka and Area Indigenous Leadership Table (MAILT); and all Ontario Municipalities.”

RE: Establishing a Guaranteed Livable Income
Please be advised that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Grimsby at its
meeting held on September 5, 2023 passed the following resolution:
Moved by: Councillor Korstanje
Seconded by: Councillor Freake
Whereas the Canadian livable wage for Niagara Region, two years ago was determined
to be $19.80. This was $6000 below the annual income of a minimum wage employee;
and
Whereas our residents on programs such as Ontario Works, receive targeted fixed
monthly incomes of $733, and ODSP recipients receive $1376; and
Whereas at the current Ontario minimum wage rate, a person working 37.5 hours per
week will earn approximately $2,500 monthly (before tax); and
Whereas the median rent for one bedroom in Grimsby as of August 2023 is now $2000
a month; and
Whereas rent is considered affordable, when it is less than 30% of income. In Niagara
west, rent is approximately 272% of Ontario Works, 145% of Ontario Disability Support
Services, 75% of minimum wage full-time, and 150% of minimum wage part time; and
Whereas an annual 2.5% allowable rent increase can be combined with an additional 3-
6.5% capital investment increase, raising the cost of rental housing another minimum of
$110 monthly; and
Whereas there are no housing units under Niagara Regional Housing for single adults
or families with dependents, including 2,3,4 or five bedrooms in our community; and
Whereas the Grimsby Benevolent Fund reported that in 2022:
70+ households received monthly rental supplement totaling $237,744
$79,500 was invested into one time emergency housing support as of June 7,
2023
78 households are receiving monthly financial benefits to make rental housing
more affordable; and
Whereas food inflation was 8.3% and groceries rose by 9.1%; and
Whereas the Grimsby Food Bank numbers from June 2023 reported:
19 new households
447 served households
1055 served individuals
7 emergency visits; and
Whereas the Grimsby Economic Strategic Plan identified the general high cost of living
and housing affordability as primary obstacles in our workforce attraction.
Therefore be it resolved that The Corporation of the Town of Grimsby circulate
correspondence to Ontario municipalities encouraging them not only to collect data of
their housing and poverty statistics, but also to examine their pending economic
vulnerability as a result.
Be it further resolved that The Corporation of the Town of Grimsby encourage these
same municipalities to join us in advocating on behalf of our communities with this data,
and by writing a letter to the Prime Minister, Premier, and local politicians calling for a
united effort in establishing a Guaranteed Livable Income program.
Be it further resolved the Town of Grimsby Clerks Department circulates this resolution
to Niagara West MP Dean Allison and Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff, requesting a
response on this matter within 30 days of receipt.
Be it further resolved that The Corporation of the Town of Grimsby, through its Finance
and Human Resources departments, undertake a comprehensive assessment to
explore the feasibility and implementation of a living wage policy for all Town of Grimsby
employees, with the aim of ensuring that all municipal workers receive fair
compensation that aligns with the principles of a living wage and that staff be directed to
explore becoming a living wage employer.
If you require any additional information, please let me know.

To All OPP-policed Municipalities Re: Distribution of Police Record Check Revenue to Municipalities
In June 2022, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) centralized the police record check process by transferring the responsibility for the process from detachment staff to an Online Police Record Check Unit (OPRCU). The centralization of the police record
check process eliminates the need for detachment staff to perform duties associated with the police record checks, with the exception of fingerprinting. This OPRCU has been staffed by reinvesting numerous administrative detachment positions from across the province. The change in staffing at OPP detachment locations will be captured in the overall municipal policing cost-recovery in accordance with the terms
set out in Police Services Act, Ontario Regulation 267/14. Historically, the revenue generated from detachment staff completing record checks for municipal residents has been credited back to the applicable municipalities. With
the reassignment of the police record check workload to the OPRCU, there will be a gradual reduction of the revenue provided to municipalities, except for the revenue for fingerprinting. Fingerprinting remains a detachment responsibility and, therefore, the revenue for conducting fingerprint services at the detachments will continue to be
allocated to municipalities. The gradual reduction of police record check revenue (not related to fingerprinting) will be accompanied by the introduction of some cost savings for municipalities resulting from the impact of reinvesting some detachment positions into the OPRCU. This will provide municipalities with an extended period of time to make appropriate adjustments to any impacted financial plans.
OPP-policed municipalities will continue to receive police record check revenue in 2023 and 2024. Commencing in 2025, the revenue will be reduced by 25% per year. In 2028, OPP-policed municipalities will cease to receive police record check revenue associated with police record checks processed by the OPRCU.
Municipalities will continue to receive revenue for fingerprinting services provided at the detachment.
Page 2 of 2
The OPP will continue to deliver adequate and effective policing services while focusing on meeting the municipalities’ unique policing needs.
Should you have any questions, please email the OPP Municipal Policing Bureau Financial Services Unit at OPP.Financial.Services.Unit@opp.ca. Respectfully,
Phil Whitton Superintendent Commander, Municipal Policing Bureau

Test Your Smoke Alarm Day News Release
Elgin County Fire Chiefs Challenge the City of St. Thomas, Town of Aylmer and
the Townships and Municipalities within the County of Elgin to be
“Saved by the Beep”
Test Your Smoke Alarm Day Takes Place September 28 Across Ontario
September 13, 2023
Elgin County, ON – Elgin Fire Chiefs Gregory, McKone, McArthur, Ormerod, Baranik,
Spoor and Shewell are calling on all residents of the City of St. Thomas, Town of
Aylmer and the Townships and Municipalities within the County of Elgin to test their
smoke alarms on September 28 as part of Test Your Smoke Alarm Day. Be prepared to
be “Saved by the Beep” with a working smoke alarm – it is your best chance to keep
you and your family safe in the event of a fire.
The City of St. Thomas, Town of Aylmer and the Townships and Municipalities within
the County of Elgin are joining communities across Ontario on September 28 by asking
everyone to take a minute and to ensure that there are working smoke alarms installed
in their home.
“Being prepared to act in the event of a fire can start with simply pressing the test button
and having the confidence that a working smoke alarm is in your home,” the Chiefs
explained. “Lives will be saved by regularly testing smoke alarms at least once a month,
refreshing batteries at least once a year, and replacing smoke alarms older than 10
years.”
Last year, Ontario lost 133 people to deadly fires – the highest number in over 20 years.
Many of these fires were found to have no working smoke alarm and stand as a
reminder that only working smoke alarms will alert you to a fire and give you and your
loved ones enough time to safely escape.
“In Ontario, we’ve seen a significant rise in fatal fires and the number of people we have
lost in these fires is very concerning,” said Ontario Fire Marshal Jon Pegg. “Entire
families have been lost to fire and the most troubling part is that the majority of these
fires did not have a working smoke alarm in the home. Had there been working smoke
alarms, and a well thought out and practiced home fire escape plan, these deaths may
have been prevented.”
The Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM), with the support of fire services and fire safety
partners across Ontario, is asking Ontarians to regularly test their smoke alarms with a
challenge to test all smoke alarms in their residence on September 28.
Contact your local fire department if you have questions or require assistance with
checking your alarm.
For more information visit www.savedbythebeep.ca
Test Your Smoke Alarm Day News Release
Quick Facts:
Smoke alarms have been legally required to be installed on every storey of a
residence in Ontario since 2006.
Residences also include vacation homes, cabins, trailers, RVs, and cottages.
Landlords must test alarms annually, after the battery is replaced, and after every
change in tenancy. Renters must notify their landlord as soon as they become
aware that a smoke alarm is not operating.

REPORT: CAO-49/23 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SITE PLAN AGREEMENT – MAX UNDERHILL’S FARM

04/23)
BACKGROUND
At its June 2, 2022 meeting, Council received Report DS-34/22 re Bill 109, the More Homes for
Everyone Act, 2022. Report DS-34/22 presented Council with amendments to the Municipality’s existing site plan control by-law – By-law No. 2016-047 – and recommended that, to ensure compliance with Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) be appointed to be the Site Plan Control approval authority for the Municipality. Council passed the following motion: Moved by: Councillor Donnell Seconded by: Councillor Chilcott THAT Report DS-34/22 regarding Bill 109, the More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022, be received for information; AND THAT in consideration of the IBI Group Memorandum, dated May 26, 2022, Council directs staff to proceed with Option 3; AND THAT an Appointment By-law be brought forward to appoint the Municipality of Bayham’s Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) as the approval authority for Site Plan Control applications.
Council subsequently adopted By-law No. 2022-046, Site Plan Control By-law, on June 16, 2022. The CAO’s delegated authority is assigned under Section 6(1) of By-law No. 2022-046. In July 2023, Max Underhill’s Farm Supply Limited submitted a Site Plan Control Application requesting amendment to the existing Site Plan Agreement for the property known municipally as 56532 Calton Line, Vienna. The application was deemed complete by Planning staff on September 12, 2023. The existing Site Plan Agreement is Agreement No. 0598, approved by
By-law No. 2016-080 on September 15, 2016. DISCUSSION Max Underhill’s Farm Supply Limited is requesting amendment to the existing Site Plan Agreement in support of a 525 m2 (5,651 ft2) addition to the existing north storage building. Further amendments include alterations to the existing fire access route, the installation of a dry hydrant, enclosing of the connection between the buildings on site, and to add a lean-to electrical room on the north side of the existing structure. No changes to the previously-submitted Lot Grading and Drainage Plan was considered for this amendment due to the relatively minor scope of work.
As the CAO is the delegated authority for Site Plan Control approval, this information is provided for informational purposes only.
