These consolidated financial statements include: Independent Auditors' report Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Consolidated Statement of Operations and Accumulated Surplus Consolidated Statement of Change in Net Financial Assets Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated Schedule of Segment Disclosure The Acting Chief Administrative Officer and Treasurer and the Treasurer are responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibility for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing the consolidated financial statements before they are submitted to Council for approval. The integrity and reliability of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham reporting systems are achieved through the use of formal policies and procedures, the careful selection of employees and an appropriate division of responsibilities. These systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial information is reliable and accurate. The consolidated financial statements have been audited on behalf of the Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham by Graham Scott Enns LLP in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. _______________________________ Lorne James Acting Chief Administrative Officer and Treasurer Straffordville, Ontario May 21, 2026 - 1 - D R A F T INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham: Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, and the consolidated statement of operations and accumulated surplus, consolidated statement of changes in net financial assets, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the Municipality's consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Municipality as at December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Municipality in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Municipality's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Municipality or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Municipality's financial reporting process. Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. - 2 - D R A F T INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Municipality's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Municipality's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Municipality to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

It conducts its operations guided by the provisions of provincial statutes such as the Municipal Act, Municipal Affairs Act and related legislation. 1.CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES On January 1, 2024 Municipality adopted accounting policies to conform to new standards issued under Canadian public sector accounting standards. The Municipality adopted the following standards which had the following impact: PS 3400 - Revenue - These standard may impact the timing of the revenue reported by the Municipality. There is no impact on the Municipality's financial reporting as a result of the adoption of this standard.  2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements of the Municipality are prepared by management in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the Municipality are as follows: Reporting Entity The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the reporting entity. The reporting entity is comprised of all organizations, committees and local boards accountable for the administration of their financial affairs and resources to the Municipality and which are 100% owned or controlled by the Municipality. Consolidated Entities The following local boards are consolidated: - Various Cemetery Boards Proportionate Consolidation The Elgin Area Primary Water Board and Port Burwell Water Board have been consolidated on a proportionate basis. The Water Boards are proportionately consolidated based upon the water flow used by our Municipality in proportion to the entire flows provided by the joint boards. - 8 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Accounting for School Board Transactions Although the Municipality collects taxation on behalf of the School Boards, the taxation, other revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations of the school boards are not reflected in these statements. Trust Funds Trust funds and their related operations administered by the Municipality are not included in these consolidated financial statements. Basis of Accounting The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting records revenue as it is earned and measurable. Expenses are recognized as they are incurred and measurable based upon receipt of goods or services and/or the creation of a legal obligation to pay. Deferred Revenue Government transfers, contributions and other amounts are received from third parties pursuant to legislation, regulation or agreement and may only be used in the conduct of certain programs, in the completion of specific work. In addition, certain user charges and fees which have been collected but for which the related services have yet to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period when the related expense are incurred, services preformed. Investments Investment income consists of interest, dividends and realized gains or losses on sale of investments is recognized as revenue in the period when it is earned. Unrealized gains and losses on investments are recognized in the accumulated remeasurement gains and losses until settlement. Once realized, these gains and losses are recognized as revenue or expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. When required by funding government or related Act, investment income earned on deferred revenue is added to the investment and forms part of the deferred revenue balance. Financial Instruments The Municipality, upon initial recognition, classifies it's financial instruments into two categories: i.fair value or; ii.cost or amortized cost; Long-term debt is initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs related to the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized over the term of the debt. - 9 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Financial Instruments (continued) Other financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at cost. Investments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value with the fair value determined as follows: i.Level 1 - Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (in active markets); ii.Level 2 - Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); iii.Level 3 - Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset that are not based on observable data (unobservable inputs). Unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of financial instruments are recognized in the statement of remeasurement gains and losses. All financial assets are tested annually for impairment. When financial assets are impaired, impairment losses are recorded in the statement of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian public sector accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. In addition, the Municipality's implementation of the Public Sector Accounting Handbook PS3150 has required management to make estimates of historical cost and useful lives of tangible capital assets. These estimates and assumptions are based on the best information and judgment and may differ significantly from actual results. Government Transfers Government transfers are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as revenues in the financial period in which events giving rise to the transfer occur, providing the transfers are authorized, any eligibility criteria have been met including performance and return requirements, and reasonable estimates of the amounts can be determined. Any amount received but restricted is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue in the period in which the resources are used for the purpose specified. In addition, the Municipality periodically receives senior government capital funding in the form of infrastructure grants and receives ongoing funding from both senior levels of government as a result of an allocation of the gas tax funds. - 10 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Non-Financial Assets Non-financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the provision of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations. The change in non-financial assets during the year, together with the excess of revenues over expenses, provides the Change in Net Financial Assets for the year. i) Tangible capital assets Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes all amounts that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. The cost, less residual value, of the tangible capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Building and components 20 to 75 years Vehicles 5 to 25 years Machinery and equipment 5 to 27 years Land improvements 18 to 25 years Plants and facilities 20 to 75 years Roads 20 to 60 years Bridges and other structures 15 to 80 years Underground and other networks 17 to 100 years No amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and a full year of amortization is charged in the year of disposal. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use. ii) Contributions of tangible capital assets Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt and also are recorded as revenue. iii) Works of art and cultural and historic assets Works of art and cultural and historic assets are not recorded as assets in these consolidated financial statements. iv) Interest capitalization The Municipality does not capitalize interest costs associated with the acquisition or construction of a tangible capital asset. vi) Inventories of supplies Inventories of supplies held for consumption are recorded at the lower of cost and replacement cost. - 11 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Tax Revenues In 2025, the Municipality received $6,816,712 (2024 - $6,492,694) in property tax revenues for municipal purposes. The authority to levy and collect property taxes is established under the Municipal Act 2001, the Assessment Act, the Education Act, and other legislation. The amount of the total annual property tax levy is determined each year through Council's approval of the annual budget. Municipal tax rates are set annually by Council for each class or type of property, in accordance with legislation and Council-approved policies, in order to raise the revenue required to meet operating budget requirements. Education tax rates are established by the Province each year in order to fund costs of education on a Province-wide basis. Taxation revenues are recorded at the time billings are issued. Additional property tax revenue can be added throughout the year, related to new properties that become occupied, or that become subject to property tax, after the return of the annual assessment roll used for billing purposes. The Municipality may receive supplementary assessment rolls over the course of the year from MPAC that identify new or omitted assessments. Property taxes for these supplementary/omitted amounts are then billed according to the approved tax rate for the property class. Taxation revenues in any year may also be reduced as a result of reductions in assessment value rising from assessment and/or tax appeals. Each year, an amount is identified to cover the estimated amount of revenue loss attributable to assessment appeals, tax appeals or other deficiencies in tax revenue (e.g. uncollectible amounts, write-offs, etc.). Employee Benefit Plans The Municipality accounts for its participation in the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS), a multi-employer public sector pension fund, as a defined contribution plan. The OMERS plan specifies the retirement benefits to be received by the employees based on the length of service and pay rates. The fund is a contributory defined benefit pension plan. As this is a multi- employer plan, no liability is recorded in the Municipality's consolidated financial statements. The employers contribution to a multi-employer defined benefit plan are expensed as the obligations arise. Environmental Provisions and Contaminated Sites The Municipality may be exposed to litigation or other costs of remediation due to contaminated properties in it's jurisdiction. A liability for remediation is recognized in the financial statements when an environmental standard exists, contamination exceeds the standard, the government is responsible for the remediation and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. As at December 31, 2025 there were no properties that the Municipality was responsible to remedy and as such no liability has been accrued. - 12 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Related Party Transactions Related parties exist when one party has the ability to control or has shared control over another party. Individuals that are key management personnel or close family members may also be related parties. Disclosure is made when the transaction or events between related parties occur at a value different from what would have been recorded if they were not related and the transaction could have a material financial impact on the consolidated financial statements. Inter-Entity Transactions Transactions between related parties are recorded at carrying amounts with the exception of the following: i.Transactions in the normal course of business or with fair consideration are recorded at exchange amount; ii.Transfer of an asset or liability at nominal amounts or no consideration are recorded by the provider at carrying amounts and the recipient has the choice of either carrying amount or fair value; iii.Cost allocations are reported using the exchange amounts and revenues and expenses are reported on a gross basis; iv.Unallocated costs for the provision of goods or services maybe recorded by the provider at cost, fair value or another amount dictated by policy, accountability structure or budget practice. Asset Retirement Obligations The Municipality may be exposed to obligations of remediation associated with their tangible capital assets. If a legal obligation exists of remediation for a tangible capital asset then the Municipality would be required to set up an estimated future cost and liability associated with these obligations. As at December 31, 2025 there were no tangible capital assets that Municipality has controlled, constructed, owned or used that would have a legal obligation of remediation. - 13 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 3.INVESTMENTS 2025 2024 $ $ $ $ Cost Market Cost Market Guaranteed investment certificates --8,438,288 8,438,288 The investments consisted of guaranteed investment certificates and cash which are recorded at their fair market value. The certificates matured between February 2025 and December 2025 and yielded interest rates from 3.00% to 5.20%. Total interest earned on these investments was $162,557 (2024 - $529,547). These investments were redeemed in the year.

DEFERRED REVENUE - OBLIGATORY RESERVE FUNDS A requirement of the public sector accounting principles of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Professional Accountants is that obligatory reserve funds be reported as deferred revenue. This requirement is in place as provincial legislation restricts how these funds may be used and under certain circumstances these funds may be refunded. The balances in the obligatory reserve funds of the Municipality are summarized below: 2025 2024 $ $ Development charges 897,301 551,577 Canada Community Building Fund 271,921 281,503 Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund 118,301 - Parkland 214,143 173,693 1,501,666 1,006,773 11.PENSION AGREEMENTS The Municipality makes contributions to the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Fund (OMERS), which is a multi-employer plan, on behalf of its staff. The plan is a defined benefit plan which specifies the amount of the retirement benefit to be received by the employees based on the length of service and rates of pay. Each year, an independent actuary determines the funding status of OMERS Primary Pension Plan (the Plan) by comparing the actuarial value of invested assets to the estimated present value of all pension benefits the members have earned to date. The most recent actuarial valuation of the Plan was conducted December 31, 2025 and the results of this valuation disclosed actuarial liabilities of $151.4 billion in respect of benefits accrued for service with actuarial assets at that date of $150 billion leaving an actuarial deficit of $1.3 billion. Since any surpluses or deficits are a joint responsibility of all Ontario municipalities and their employees, the Municipality does not recognize any share of the OMERS Pension surplus or deficit in these consolidated financial statements. The amount contributed to OMERS for 2025 was approximately $267,000 (2024 - $206,000). - 19 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 12.BUDGET FIGURES The operating budget approved by the council of the Municipality for 2025 is reflected on the consolidated statement of operations.

The amounts collected and remitted are summarized below: School Boards County $ $ Taxation and user charges 1,642,254 5,790,909 Share of payments in lieu of taxes 6,379 180,978 Amounts requisitioned 1,648,633 5,971,887 14. CONTINGENCIES As at December 31, 2025, certain legal actions are pending against the Municipality. The final outcome of the outstanding claims cannot be determined at this time. However, management believes that ultimate disposition of these matters will not materially exceed the amounts recorded in these consolidated financial statements. As at December 31, 2025, the Municipality also has a Writ of Seizure and Sale registered against the assets of the Elgin Military Museum. Although the Municipality expects no further recoveries from the assets of the Elgin Military Museum, the Municipality will ensure the Writ of Seizure and Sale is registered on title indefinitely. Estimated costs to settle claims are based on available information and projections of estimated future expenses developed based on the Municipality's historical experience. Claims are reported as an operating expense in the year of the loss, where the costs are deemed to be likely and can be reasonable determined. Claim provisions are reported as a liability in the consolidated statement of financial position. 15.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS .Risks and Concentrations The Municipality is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the Municipality’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The Municipality is mainly exposed to interest and price risk. - 21 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 15.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS (CONTINUED) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Municipality is exposed to interest rate risk on its fixed rate long-term debt. As the interest rates are fixed the Municipality doesn't believe that interest rate risk is a significant risk. Price Risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. The Municipality is exposed to price risk through its investments in quoted One Fund investments. These investments were redeemed in the prior year and price risk is no longer considered a significant risk. It is management's opinion that the Municipality is not exposed to significant currency risk. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that a Municipality will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Municipality is exposed to this risk mainly in respect of its accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The Municipality doesn't believe that liquidity risk is a significant risk. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Municipality’s main credit risks relate to its accounts receivable and taxes receivable. The Municipality manages this risk by monitoring active receivable balances and forces tax sale on properties considered unrecoverable. At year end, the Municipality had approximately $73,067 (2024 - $188,173) in accounts receivable over 90 days of which the Municipality has deemed no allowance is necessary. The balances of taxes and utility receivables (water and sewer) are normally collectible from the property owner and the Municipality is able to force tax sale on properties to recover. In some instances the property owner may challenge property values which will in impact future recovery of taxes and potential repayments to the property owners. The Municipality actively monitors these assessment challenges and provides provisions when reasonable estimates can be made. At year end, the Municipality has provided an allowance of $nil (2024 - $nil) for these assessment challenges and $nil (2024 - $nil) in potential uncollectible tax assessments. - 22 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 16.SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 2025 2024 $ $ [a] Current fund expenses by object: Salaries, wages and employees benefits 3,180,904 2,929,679 Long-term debt interest 27,645 116,351 Materials 3,525,390 3,321,396 Contracted services 2,507,607 2,352,228 Amortization 2,092,647 2,068,162 External transfers to others 111,515 105,747 Loss (gain) on disposal of tangible capital assets 30,741 (3,666) 11,476,449 10,889,897 [b] Cash flow information: Taxes receivable 2,306 (265,748) Accounts receivable 29,754 (19,311) Inventories and prepaid expenses (53,811)8,650 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 320,468 (111,621) Security and grading deposits (30,261)458,199 Deferred revenue-obligatory reserve funds 494,893 417,415 763,349 487,584 17.COMPARATIVE FIGURES Certain comparative figures presented in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year. - 23 - D R A F T THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2025 18.SEGMENTED INFORMATION The Municipality is a diversified municipal government institution that provides a wide range of services to its citizens, including fire, roads, sewer and water. For management reporting purposes the Government’s operations and activities are organized and reported by Fund. Funds were created for the purpose of recording specific activities to attain certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations. Municipal services are provided by departments and their activities are reported in these funds. Certain departments that have been separately disclosed in the segmented information, along with the services they provided, are as follows. Public Works The Public Works department is responsible for the delivery of municipal public works services related to the planning, development and maintenance of roadway systems, the maintenance of parking and open space, and street lighting. The Water and Waste Funds The water and wastewater department provides drinking water to citizens of the municipality, as well as, collection and treatment of wastewater. This department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of both systems in accordance with government regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act and other pieces of legislation. Other segments This segment includes the remaining departments and activities of the Municipality. Some of the larger activities in this segment include general government, fire, police, public health services, recreation and cultural services, planning and development and solid waste collection and disposal. For each reported segment, revenues and expenses represent both amounts that are directly attributable to the segment and amounts that are allocated on a reasonable basis. Therefore, certain allocation methodologies are employed in the preparation of segmented financial information. The General Revenue Fund reports on municipal services that are funded primarily by taxation such as property and business tax revenues. Taxation and payments-in-lieu of taxes are apportioned to General Revenue Fund services based on the Fund’s net surplus. Certain government transfers, transfer from other funds, and other revenues have been apportioned based on a percentage of budgeted expenses. The accounting policies used in these segments are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as disclosed in Note 2.

ZBA-04 / D20.VANQUAETHEM Roll # 3401-000-003-12100 SUBJECT: Rezoning Application ZBA-04/26 VanQuaethem 7923 Coyle Rd, Straffordville Draft Zoning By-law No. Z824-2026 BACKGROUND VanQuaethem Farms Ltd has submitted a Zoning Bylaw Amendment application to rezone the property at 7923 Coyle Rd, west side and south of Lamers Line. The lands are currently designated as ‘Agricultural’ and ‘Natural Gas Reservoir in Schedule ‘A1’: Land Use in the Municipality of Bayham Official Plan. The lands are currently zoned ‘Agricultural (A1-A)’ in Schedule ‘A’ in Zoning By-law No. Z456-2003. The purpose of this By-law Amendment is to rezone two portions of the subject lands as a result of a surplus farm dwelling severance. The proposed Severed Lot is to be rezoned from ‘Agricultural (A1- A)’ to Site-Specific ‘Rural Residential (RR-56)’ Zone, which requires relief from the following provisions: • Section 7.4 to permit a Minimum Lot Frontage of 39 metres, where a Minimum Lot Frontage of 50.0m is required. The proposed Retained Lot is to be rezoned from ‘Agricultural (A1-1)’ to a ‘Special Agricultural (A2)’ Zone to prohibit new dwellings. The effect of this By-law will be to recognize the residential nature of the newly created severed lot and to prohibit new dwellings on the retained farm parcel in accordance with the Official Plan, as part of the clearing of Consent Conditions for Elgin Land Division Committee file number E6-26. These zoning changes implement required conditions of approval associated with the approved surplus farm dwelling severance and are necessary to ensure consistency with Official Plan surplus dwelling policies and the consent approval framework. The public meeting was held on May 7, 2026, with no attendees and no public comments received up to the time of writing this Report. Staff Report DS-20/26 VanQuaethem 2 DISCUSSION No agency comments were received. The planner’s memorandum included with this Report, dated December 10, 2025, reviews the application and provides that it conforms to the Bayham Official Plan and meets the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Staff and the planner concur that the rezoning application, in the context of this surplus farm dwelling severance, is consistent with applicable planning policies and is appropriate for the development of the subject lands. It is recommended that the zoning of the property be amended from ‘Agricultural (A1-A)’ to a site-specific Rural Residential (RR-56) zone to facilitate the creation of a severed residential lot, and from ‘Agricultural (A1-A)’ to a Special Agricultural (A2) zone for the retained agricultural parcel, to implement the associated surplus dwelling policies and prohibit new residential dwellings on the retained lands. This amendment is required to satisfy conditions of approval imposed through the associated consent application and ensures that the zoning by-law implements the land division decision as intended. Draft Zoning By-law No. Z824-2026 is presented for consideration. STRATEGIC PLAN Not applicable. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Rezoning Application ZBA-04/26 VanQuaethem 2.

The intent is to create a residential lot consisting of an existing single- detached dwelling surplus to the needs of the farm operation. 2. The proposed Severed Lot has a lot frontage of 39.96 metres (131.10 feet) and lot depth of 112.13 metres (367.88 feet) to accommodate the existing single- detached dwelling, existing septic system and propane tank. There is an existing driveway access to the proposed severed lot that would remain as it exists today. The existing single-detached dwelling is serviced by a private septic system. It should be noted that the existing well on the subject lands is being re-located, but is not proposed to be within the new severed Lot. 3. The proposed Retained Lot currently accommodates the existing agricultural operations and an existing barn. A new access, with permit, to Coyle Road from the proposed Retained Lot; or an easement access in favour of the retained lands over the severed lands will be needed as a result of this proposed severance. 4. The lands are designated as ‘Agriculture’ and ‘Natural Gas Reservoir’ on Schedule A1: Land Use in the Municipality of Bayham Official Plan (Bayham OP). There is a ‘Hazard Land’ designation on Schedule A2 related to a small creek toward the west side of the property, but this is not close to the proposed severance area. 5. The lands are zoned ‘Agricultural (A1-A)’ on Schedule A, Map No. 9 in Zoning By- law Z456-2003, and portions on the subject lands are within the ‘LPRCA Regulation Limit’ as per LPRCA mapping. ARCADIS MEMORANDUM Municipality of BayhamMunicipality of Bayham – December 10, 2025 2 6. Surrounding uses are agricultural in all directions, with a small property zoned Rural Residential further north on the opposite side of Coyle Road. The subject lands and surrounding area’s are traversed by woodlands and creeks. The owner does not intend to alter the existing buildings/structures on the proposed Severed and Retained Lot. All existing development is located outside the ‘LPRCA Conservation limit as confirmed by LPRCA in comments dated November 24, 2025. Provincial Planning Statement 7. The Provincial Planning Statement (hereafter, “PPS”) provides policy direction with respect to Lot Creation and Lot Adjustments in prime agricultural areas for surplus farm dwelling severances. Section 4.3.3 of the PPS reads as follows: 1. Lot creation in prime agricultural areas is discouraged and may only be permitted in accordance with provincial guidance for: c) one new residential lot per farm consolidation for a residence surplus to an agricultural operation, provided that: 1. the new lot will be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water services; Comment: Subject to demonstrating the lot can appropriately accommodate existing private septic and demonstrating adequate on-site private water services, the proposed severed lot is no larger than necessary to meet the minimum size needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water services. As the applicant only provided the approximate area of the septic bed on the proposed severed lot. Comments received from the Chief Building Official as reviewed below indicated that a qualified septic designer must confirm the existing septic system will be a minimum of 3 metres from the new property lines, which is provided as a Condition of Approval. The owner/applicant provided supporting water well information as part of the application submission, stating that the existing water well can support the needs of the household. However, the Public Health Ontario water test, dated May 13, 2025, found the water maybe unsafe to drink. A new well location has been shown on the Severance Sketch, however it is located on the Retained lands and not on- site as required. As a Condition of Approval, the applicant must provide a new well location on-site for the Severed Lands and provide written confirmation from Public Health Ontario that the new private well provides the quality and quantity of potable water required by Provincial standards 2. the planning authority ensures that new dwellings and additional residential units are prohibited on any remnant parcel of farmland ARCADIS MEMORANDUM Municipality of BayhamMunicipality of Bayham – December 10, 2025 3 created by the severance. The approach used to ensure that no new dwellings or additional residential units are permitted on the remnant parcel may be recommended by the Province, or based on municipal approaches that achieve the same objective; and Comment: The owner is required to rezone the retained lot from A1-A to A2 to prohibit the development of a future residential dwelling. Therefore, it is our opinion that the proposed consent is consistent with the PPS. Elgin County Official Plan 8. In the Elgin County Official Plan (hereafter, ‘Elgin OP’), policies for New Residential Lots in Agricultural Areas are found in Section 5.9, which states the following: …no new residential building lots are permitted in an agricultural designation in a local official plan with the exception of a lot containing an existing dwelling that has become surplus to a farming operation because of a farm consolidation. Notwithstanding any other polices to the contrary, such a residence may be severed from the farm subject to: a) The lot containing the dwelling being limited in size to the area needed to accommodate the dwelling and on-site servicing only; and, Comment: As noted in paragraph 7, the proposed Severed Lot appears to be limited in size to the area needed to accommodate the dwelling and on-site servicing, subject to demonstrating the existing private septic system is appropriately located relative to proposed property lines and that an adequate water supply is provided on-site, rather than on the adjacent Retained Lot, with quality and quantity of potable water in accordance with Provincial standards, both of which requirements being Conditions of Approval. b) All residential uses being prohibited on the remnant farm parcel by way of official plan amendment and / or zoning by-law amendment. Comment: As noted in paragraph 7, the owner is required to rezone the retained lot from A1-A to A2 to prohibit the development of a future residential dwelling. 9. Further, the Elgin OP provides policies for Land Division Applications in Section 12.2 as follows: All applications for land division shall be evaluated based on the following general criteria: a) Compliance with the requirements of the Planning Act, and any other applicable piece of legislation; ARCADIS MEMORANDUM Municipality of BayhamMunicipality of Bayham – December 10, 2025 4 Comment: Subject to satisfying the identified Conditions of Approval noted above, the application is in compliance with the noted requirements. b) Demonstrated consistency with the Provincial Planning Statement, as amended; Comment: Section 5.9 of the Elgin OP provides the relevant policies from the PPS and were reviewed in paragraph 8 above. c) Demonstrated conformity with the policies and land use designations of this Plan and of the applicable local official plan; Comment: Subject to satisfying the Conditions of Approval, the application conforms to the policies and land use designations of this Plan and the applicable local official plan, the latter of which is reviewed in the next section. d) Demonstrated conformity with a local zoning by-law, or a demonstration that conformity will be achieved, prior to final approval; Comment: As discussed in the related later section, as a Condition of Approval the Severed and Retained lands will require a Zoning By-law Amendment to be approved and in force prior to final approval of the consent. e) The ability of the application to address and satisfy the comments and input received by commenting agencies and bodies; Comment: The LPRCA has confirmed that no development is being facilitated in the regulated area and the application is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 in a memo dated November 24, 2025. The Chief Building Official has provided comments below to be addressed through Conditions of Approval, specifically related to confirming the location of the existing septic system in relationship to proposed property lines as noted above, and to either remove the farm building on the Retained Lands or to apply for a building permit to apply the required rating to the wall facing the property given National Farm Building Code requirements for farm buildings within 30 metres of a property line. f) Demonstration that any input from the public has been reviewed and considered; and Comment: No public input was received prior to the drafting of this memo. g) Demonstration that the application is in the public interest. Comment: Subject to satisfying the Conditions of Approval, the proposed surplus farm dwelling severance is in accordance with applicable policies and regulations, and is not anticipated to have any negative impacts on any surrounding land uses. ARCADIS MEMORANDUM Municipality of BayhamMunicipality of Bayham – December 10, 2025 5 Therefore, it is our opinion that the proposed Consent Application is in conformity with the Elgin OP. Municipality of Bayham Official Plan 10. The Municipality of Bayham Official Plan Section 2.1.7.1 indicates that “farm consolidation shall mean the acquisition of additional farm parcels to be operated as one farm operation”. There are several policies within Section 2.7.1, which are listed as follows: a) In the opinion of Municipal Council, a land use conflict shall not be created with agricultural operations or other existing land uses in the immediate area of the subject lands; Comment: It is our opinion that the proposed consent will not result in land use conflicts. The existing single-detached dwelling to be severed as a surplus farm dwelling and existing agricultural operation to be retained will remain. b) Where a farm parcel with more than one existing dwelling is being consolidated into a farm operation, only one dwelling may be severed from that farm parcel, and no more than one severance of a surplus dwelling shall be allowed from an original farm parcel regardless of changes in boundary or ownership; Comment: The proposed consent only contemplates the severance of one (1) surplus farm dwelling as a result of farm consolidation. c) A minimum of one existing dwelling within the Municipality of Bayham must be retained by the proponent farm operation, or a registered owner of the proponent farm operation. Comment: It is understood that the owner/applicant owns a minimum of one (1) existing dwelling and additional agricultural lands within the Municipality of Bayham. 11. Sections 2.1.7.2 and 2.1.7.3 of the Bayham Official Plan provides consideration for the approval and requirements of severances for surplus farm dwellings as follows: 2.1.7.2 The severed lot with the surplus farm dwelling shall: a) Be no larger than is necessary to support a private sanitary sewage treatment and disposal system as determined by the appropriate approval authority, and be serviced by a potable water supply; Comment: Subject to satisfying the Conditions of Approval as noted previously with respect to septic and water services, the proposed severed lot is no larger than necessary to support existing servicing. ARCADIS MEMORANDUM Municipality of BayhamMunicipality of Bayham – December 10, 2025 6 b) Meet the provisions of the MDS 1 for livestock facilities and manure storage facilities on the proposed retained lands; and, Comment: It is understood there are no livestock operations identified in the immediate area warranting MDS concerns. No new residential development or livestock operations are proposed. c) Be rezoned in a Rural Residential Zone in the Zoning By-law of the Municipality of Bayham Comment: As a Condition of Approval, the owner is required to rezone the proposed Severed Lot from A1-A to RR-XX with a Site-Specific Exception to permit a Minimum Lot Frontage of 39 metres. 2.1.7.3 The severed lot with the surplus farm dwelling may: a) Include accessory buildings and structures if in the opinion of Municipal Council a land use conflict will not be created; and, Comment: The proposed Severed Lot does not contain any additional buildings or structures, therefore there will not be a land use conflict. b) Include accessory buildings and structures where the property has been rezoned to prohibit the keeping of livestock Comment: There are no existing accessory buildings and structures on the proposed Severed Lot for the keeping of livestock. The keeping of livestock on the proposed Severed Lot is prohibited in the RR Zone. 12. Section 2.1.7.4 of the Bayham Official Plan provides additional consideration for the approval and requirements of the retained agricultural lands as follows: a) Depending on the current zoning and lot size, meet the provisions of the Agricultural (A1 / A1-A) Zone regulations of the Zoning By-law of the Municipality of Bayham; and, Comment: The proposed Retained Lot will meet the minimum lot area and lot frontage requirements of the A2 Zone, as the applicant will be required to rezone the proposed retained lot from A1-A to A2 Zone. b) Be rezoned to prohibit the placement, development, or establishment of any additional type or form of residential dwelling units thereon, regardless of changes in property boundary or ownership. Comment: The owner is required to rezone the retained lot from A1-A to A2 to prohibit the development of a future residential dwelling. Therefore, based on the analysis provided above, the proposed consent is in conformity with Bayham Official Plan. ARCADIS MEMORANDUM Municipality of BayhamMunicipality of Bayham – December 10, 2025 7 Municipality of Bayham Zoning By-law 13. The proposed Severed Lot is currently zoned Agriculture (A1-A) on Schedule ‘A’ Map No.9 in Municipality of Bayham Zoning By-law Z456-2003. The proposed Severed Lot must be rezoned to a Rural Residential (RR) Zone, consistent to the resulting residential use and Official Plan Section 2.1.7.2 policies for surplus farm dwellings. The proposed lot configuration by the applicant can accommodate the Minimum Lot Area of 0.4 hectares, however, a Site-Specific Exception will be required to permit a Minimum Lot Frontage of 39 metres, as it does not meet the minimum requirement of 50 metres in the RR zone. It is our opinion that the reduced Minimum Lot Frontage will not have any significant impact to the existing and surrounding area and has sufficient frontage to accommodate the existing access along Coyle Road without negatively impacting rural character. 14. The proposed Retained Lot currently zoned ‘Agriculture (A1-A)’ and must be rezoned to a ‘Special Agricultural (A2)’ Zone to prohibit new dwellings, as per Official Plan Section 2.1.7.4. The proposed Retained Lot meets the minimum Lot Area of 20.0 hectares and Minimum Lot Frontage of 150.0 metres required in the A2 Zone. Municipal of Bayham 15. Although the setbacks for an accessory building have been met regarding the existing barn located on the retained lands (of 1.0m from a Lot line); the Chief Building Official has noted that the National Farm Building Code requires a farm building to be a min. 30 metres from a property line or for a rating to be applied to a facing wall if less than 30 metres from the property line. A building permit will need to be approved for the existing farm building to address the required rating, or the existing building moved / removed to meet this requirement. Long Point Region Conservation Authority 16. As previously mentioned in this Memo, portions of the subject property are within the “LPRCA Regulation Limit”; however, the proposed severed lands are located outside of the regulated area. Though no physical alterations are proposed by the owner on the Severed Lot as a result of this Consent Application, as a Condition of Approval, the owner will need to receive comments and/or written approval from the LPRCA in support of the proposed severance. Conclusion and Recommendations 17. Based on the above review of Consent Application E6-26 we have no objection to the proposed consent to create a residential lot for the existing dwelling surplus to the needs of the farm operation and recommend the following conditions for approval: ARCADIS MEMORANDUM Municipality of BayhamMunicipality of Bayham – December 10, 2025 8 a) That the owner obtains approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment for the proposed Severed Lot from a ‘Agricultural (A1-A)’ Zone to a ‘Site-Specific Rural Residential (RR-XX)’ Zone to permit a Minimum Lot Frontage of 39 metres. b) That the owner obtains approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment for the proposed Retained Lot from an ‘Agricultural (A1-A)’ Zone to a Special Agricultural (A2) Zone to prohibit new dwellings. c) That the owner provides confirmation from a qualified septic designer that the location of the existing septic bed on the proposed Severed Lot meets a minimum setback of 3.0 metres from the property lines. d) That the owner installs an independent well on the proposed Severed Lot to service the existing dwelling; and that the owner provides written confirmation from Public Health Ontario and a licensed well installer that the private well provides the quality and quantity of potable water required by Provincial standards. e) That the owner either identifies a new access for the retained lands and secures an access permit from the Municipality of Bayham OR registers an access agreement in favour of the retained lands over the existing access on the severed lands. f) That the owner obtains a building permit to allow for the existing farm building on the retained lands to be less than 30m from a property line to the satisfaction of the Municipality of Bayham Chief Building Official, OR relocates or removes the farm building so that no farm building is within 30m of the property line. g) That upon the granting of the consent the owner provides a Planning Report Fee payable to the Municipality of Bayham. h) That the applicant applies to and pays all fees to the Municipality with respect to Civic Addressing/signage for the retained lot. i) That the owner provides a digital copy of a survey of the subject lands. Jeff Henry Arcadis Professional Services (Canada) Inc. Jeff Henry, RPP, MCIP Consulting Planner to the Municipality of Bayham Council received a presentation from St. Thomas-Elgin Social Services outlining current programs, service levels, and emerging trends across the region. The presentation highlighted continued demand for child care, with more than 1,100 licensed spaces currently available across Elgin County and over 1,900 children on the waitlist. Updates were also provided on the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care system, which has helped reduce fees to an average of $22 per day, while also introducing increased administrative and staffing pressures for operators and municipalities. Council also heard about EarlyON Child and Family Centres, which offer free programs for families at approximately 30 locations throughout the County. In 2025, these programs saw over 15,000 visits from children and more than 11,000 visits from caregivers, demonstrating strong community use and demand. Additional updates focused on Ontario Works and Housing Stability Services. Each month, Ontario Works supports more than 2,700 individuals through financial assistance, employment supports, and caseworker services. On the housing side, there are currently over 1,700 households on the centralized waitlist for social housing, with wait times ranging from three to ten years or more. The presentation also highlighted ongoing efforts to address homelessness through the Homelessness Prevention Program, which supports emergency shelters, rent supplements, and housing stability initiatives. Local data shows that more than 65% of individuals referred through the By-Names List have been successfully housed, reflecting progress through coordinated community efforts. Overall, the presentation emphasized the importance of strong community partnerships and continued investment in programs that support housing stability, early years services, and social assistance across St. Thomas and Elgin County.

ELGIN COUNTY From the Council Chambers April 28, 2026 Council Meeting St. Thomas-Elgin Social Services Provides Service Review Update Page 1Council Highlights | April 28, 2026 Page 2Council Highlights | April 28, 2026 The Committee of the Whole received a report recommending approval of a draft plan of subdivision for the next phase of the Eagle Ridge development in the Municipality of Central Elgin. The proposed subdivision, located south of Southdale Line and west of Sunset Drive, would add 163 single detached residential lots as part of Phase 3 of the existing Eagle Ridge community. Plans for the development include the extension of existing roads such as Snowy Owl Trail and White Tail Path, along with new streets and future connections to surrounding lands. The site layout, shown in the draft plan, continues the established neighbourhood pattern with a mix of crescents and connecting streets. The report notes that the lands are designated for residential growth and are located within a settlement area intended to accommodate new development. The application has been reviewed by County staff and relevant agencies, with no concerns raised through the circulation process. If approved by Council, the subdivision would proceed subject to a number of conditions, including servicing, infrastructure, and environmental requirements, before final registration can occur. Committee of the Whole Eagle Ridge Phase 3 Subdivision Moves Forward in Central Elgin The Committee received an update on the Elgincentives Community Improvement Plan (CIP), including a comprehensive review and proposed updates as the program reaches its 10-year milestone. Originally launched in 2015, Elgincentives provides financial incentives to support business growth, main street revitalization, and local investment across Elgin County. The recent review examined how the program has performed over the past decade and identified opportunities to modernize the program to better reflect current economic conditions and community priorities. The updated plan introduces several key changes, including a simplified structure that consolidates existing incentives, the addition of new housing-focused programs, and increased funding limits based on project type. The revisions also aim to make the program easier to understand and access, while continuing to support a range of economic development initiatives across the County. Page 3Council Highlights | April 28, 2026 Update Provided on Elgincentives Community Improvement Plan Committee of the Whole The update also introduces Municipal Leadership Initiatives, which provide a flexible framework for strategic, Council-led projects that can further support community improvement alongside financial incentives. Following endorsement by Council, the updated plan will move forward through the local municipal adoption process. Once adopted, the program will be implemented in partnership with local municipalities, supported by coordinated promotion and administration across the County.
