SUBJECT: Biosolids Management

Dear Mayor and Councillors:

HAND DELIVERED

On January 18, 2017, the General Issues Committee (GIC) recei ed a presentation from staff regarding theproposal to pro ide a thermal dryer for future biosolids management. As President of TerratecEnvironmental Ltd, a 30 year old Hamilton-based company that has provided over 20 years of reliable andcost effective biosolids management services to the City, I feel compelled to make you aware of severalitems that I feel were not considered, or accurately reflected, in the presentation.

• The staff presentation indicates that the proposed thermal dryer plant will be at a similar cost to landapplication. However, the presentation notes that, the proposed thermal dryer will cost the City aminimum of $6,290,000/year in its first year while the current land application program costs$2,811,000/year. As such, the proposed solution will cost the City at least an additional $100,000,000over 30 years.

• The staff presentation overstates the annual cost of the current biosolids management program byapproximately $700,000/year. It indicates the annual cost at $3,500,000/year while the actual cost is$2,811,000 for dewatered biosolids management.

• Land application is an environmentally sustainable biosolids management option and provides taxpayersthe lowest cost.

• Land application of biosolids is practiced by over 80% of Ontario municipalities.

• Contrary to rumoured future bans and restrictions, both the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change(MOECC) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) have embraced landapplication of biosolids as a safe and environmentally sustainable method to improve soil health.

• Land application of biosolids has also been embraced by the agricultural community who highly valuemunicipal biosolids that are currently provided at no cost (farmers will have to purchase pellets), todevelop healthy soils.

• High demand for municipal biosolids continues and land availability has never been a constraint.Annually, there is 2 to 3 times more land available than required for the land application of biosolids.

5.1 5.5.1

• Land application results in a net negative (reduction) of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions while theproposed thermal dryer plant will produce significant GHGs. No GHG estimates were provided in thestaff presentation.

• The proposed thermal dryer project was not recommended in the Biosolids Master Plan and therefore isnot compliant with the BMP as claimed in the presentation.

There is a very real risk that the cost of the proposed project will exceed $200,000.000 over 30 years.Council s approved Affordability Threshold will most likely be exceeded as the project proceeds withobtaining the Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA), detailed engineering, operations review, and thepurchase of carbon credits.

Important factors to consider:

• The selected thermal dryer solution was developed based on conditions, information, and riskspresented to Council with the approval of the 2007 Biosolids Master Plan. As proposed, the thermaldryer will be operational in 2020,13 years after a recommendation was provided to Council.Conditions and challenges in 2007 were very different than they are today.

• Land continues to be readily available for land application and greatly exceeds the requirement toservice the quantity of biosolids available.

• The MOECC and OMAFRA have created an environment that promotes a sustainable, long term, landapplication program.

• The proposed thermal dryer project will cost the City of Hamilton twice as much as its currentbiosolids management program at a time when the City is experiencing severe fiscal constraints.

• The Minister of Environment and Climate Change has just recently stated his goal of zero GHGs fromthe waste sector .

Given recent budget discussions, I feel it is important to note that the City is about to embark upon asolution to solve a problem that no longer exists and will cost the City of Hamilton $6.3 million in annualcapital and operating costs, more than $3 million over the current annual cost of the biosolids program.Further, the proposed solution results in a significant increase in Green House Gas emissions which is inconflict with the City's GHG reduction goal, stands in stark contrast to the new MOECC strategy of zero GHGemissions from the waste sector, and fails to provide a new or innovative solution or reduce the City's risk.

As both a resident of Hamilton and your current biosolids management supplier, with considerable subjectmatter expertise on the issue, it is incumbent upon me to highlight important factors to be considered priorto executing a contract for the proposed biosolids project.

Yours sin erely,

Dear me bers of City Council,

I'm calling it out. I'm naming it for hat it is.

Sam Merulla is right. The Gang of Ten will be the ones responsible for the death of Citybuilding in Hamilton. Terry hitehead, Chad Collins, Donna Skelly, Judi Partridge, BrendaJohnson that's the leadership of the Gang of Ten. I'll do my best to ensure my fellowcitizens remember who you are and what you're doing to keep Hamilton oppressed. When we haveto add millions of infrastructure costs to our already huge deficits, when we see our taxbills go up by double digits as a result, when we see our property values stagnate or dropbecause developers & investors lose interest in our city, when we continue to see thedestruction of an already dismal public transit system, when we wave good bye to our adultchildren as they leave Hamilton in hopes of finding decent employment somewhere else in theworld I will remember two things:

1) my children love e but will not come home to visit every holiday and

2) the Gang of Ten destroyed any a bition this city had. I hold you accountable.

I'll make sure we all reme ber your names. You hold the power to make the decision to make ussuffer and you are choosing it. It's on you.

I've wasted so much time, effort and even money actively supporting city building inHamilton. I ve spent countless hours in council cha bers watching councillors pretend to beinterested and concerned. I feel like I've been lied to by the very people I've entrustedwith some of the biggest decisions of my life. I feel betrayed. LRT could be, would be, thegreatest catalyst for growth this city has ever seen but obviously the Gang of Ten does notwant our city to grow and prosper. Thanks for wasting time from my life that I'll never getback.

Gang of Ten, be honest. Quit the gong show. Just kill it all now and stop this slow deathnonsense. Clearly that's your goal. You don't care about me, about my children, about ourcity as a whole. I don't know what you care about but it certainly isn't Hamilton.

March 25, 2017

City of Hamilton Mayor’s Office

Hamilton City Hall

2nd floor ‐ 71 Main Street West

Hamilton, Ontario L8P 4Y5

Attention: Hon Mayor Fred Eisenberger

Dear Mr. Eisenberger,

This letter is a reconfirmation of endorsement by the Hamilton Burlington Society of Architects (HBSA)

for the Council approved Light Rail Transit (LRT) line in Hamilton. We as an organization believe that LRT

will greatly benefit our city and all its residents by encouraging development, completing infrastructure

upgrades while installing the LRT tracks, promoting transit use for intra‐city commuters, and ensuring

that Hamilton remains competitive in attracting new businesses and talented skilled workers.

The HBSA strongly urges Council to receive the Hamilton Light Rail Transit Environmental Project Report

Addendum for the B‐Line and submit it to the province.

New and projected development leading the way for LRT

Currently Hamilton has over 20 new multiple residential developments in construction or planning

stages within the city’s core, representing approximately 1600 units. This is an unprecedented number

not seen in decades. These developments demonstrate a clear trend towards denser urban living – a

trend that will be supported and made more successful by the access to expedient and convenient high

quality transit afforded by an LRT line.

These developments are just the beginning of a projected 100,000 new Hamilton residents over the next

25 years. To accommodate this influx, LRT will encourage development and densification along its route

within the city’s built‐up area, supporting many of the principles laid out in the province’s Places to

Grow strategy by:

Revitalizing our downtown to become vibrant and convenient centres,

Curbing sprawl and protecting farmland and green spaces,

Reducing traffic gridlock by improving access to a greater range of transportation options.

5.3 (b) 5.5.3

Investment in LRT is the best long‐term fiscal decision

While the upfront costs of LRT are significant, we have a largely unprecedented opportunity to accept

full funding from the province. Both the City and the province have concluded it is a worthwhile

investment with feasibility and benefits case studies determining that it will generate a large net benefit

in increased tax assessment.

As LRT encourages concentrated growth within its proximity, the expense of new public infrastructure

will be greatly reduced as the need for new greenfield developments will also be reduced. Furthermore,

LRT has a lower per‐passenger operating cost than alternatives and has been demonstrated to be the

investment with the best future fiscal return.

Hamilton has the commuting habits to support LRT today

70% of Hamiltonians live and work within the city. Among other regional cities provincially, that live‐

work balance is second only to Toronto at 80%. As an LRT line will run directly through our largest job

cluster (the downtown core), many of these intra‐city commuters will be given a new commuting option

that is fast, reliable, and more environmentally sustainable.

LRT will ensure Hamilton remains competitive

As Hamilton’s economy transitions from its predominantly industrial past, the city is emerging as a

leader in healthcare and innovation with a diverse economy. We need to ensure we remain

competitive, attracting new businesses and talent to our city and province.

An investment in LRT will send a clear message that Hamilton is serious about its future as a livable,

sustainable, and economically vibrant centre.

It is the hope of the HBSA that Council will continue to maintain their strong support for the Council

approved LRT project, will receive the EPR, and will submit it to the province, thereby maintaining the

project schedule.

Sincerely,

The Hamilton Burlington Society of Architects

Dear Mayor Eisenberger:

Thank you for your letter regarding the proposed new Highway 5 and 6 interchange andthe City of Hamilton s plans to replace the Canadian National (CN) and CanadianPacific (CP) Rail Bridge in Waterdown. I welcome the opportunity to respond.

The proposed new Highway 5 and 6 interchange is in the detail design phase, and weanticipate completing the design by spring 2017. Timing to initiate the next phase ofconstruction depends on the future review and prioritization of Ontario s corridorinvestment strategies and commitments in the Southern Highways Program (SHP) forsustainable transportation infrastructure. This program is reviewed annually with newprojects being added each year. Construction of the proposed new Highway 5 and 6interchange is included in the SHP 2016-2020, under Planning for the Future.

The ministry and the City of Hamilton have signed a legal agreement outlining theproject’s cost sharing. The legal agreement includes provisions that permit the City ofHamilton to move forward to construct the municipal roads in advance of the ministry’swork. The City of Hamilton may consider moving forward with this component inpreparation for the construction of the future interchange. Additional property acquisitionand utility relocations may be required for any advanced works.

MTO staff will be pleased to meet with the City of Hamilton staff to discuss andcoordinate infrastructure improvements in the area. Further study is required to considerconstruction timing and connectivity between Highway 6 and the city’s East/West-North/South bypass. The ministry will continue to work in close coordination with City ofHamilton staff to develop an effective plan to accommodate local infrastructureimprovements and development.

Thank you for your letter regarding the widening of Highway 403 from the Lincoln M.Alexander Parkway to Main Street in Hamilton and the request to examine trafficcongestion at the Red Hill Valley Parkway and the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW). Iwelcome the opportunity to respond.

Highway 403 is an important transportation corridor, and the ministry recognizes theneed to keep traffic moving safely and efficiently. In 2007, the Ministry of Transportationinitiated the Niagara to Greater Toronto Area Corridor Planning and EnvironmentalAssessment Study (NGTA Study) to examine opportunities for transportationimprovements and assess transportation planning alternatives and recommendationsfor future infrastructure needs in the Niagara to GTA corridor, including Hamilton.

The NGTA Study looked at several alternatives to increase the capacity of thetransportation system in this corridor, utilizing transit and highway infrastructure optionsto provide for the efficient movement of people and goods in Niagara, Hamilton andHalton.

Phase 1 of the NGTA Study is complete. Recommendations include highwayimprovements and the widening of Highway 403 in Hamilton, with one additional laneper direction from King Street/Main Street to Jerseyville and the widening of the QEWby one additional lane per direction from the Red Hill Valley Parkway interchange toHighway 406, to alleviate traffic congestion.

These recommendations are subject to environmental assessments and approvalsbefore implementation. Timing to initiate this next phase will be dependent on furtherreview and prioritization of expansion needs across the province.

5.6 5.5.6

Currently, the expansion of Highway 403 from the Brant/Hamilton boundary to theHighway 403/QEW interchange in Hamilton is identified on the 2016-2020 SouthernHighways Program, our five-year capital program, as planning for the future. The start ofconstruction for this project will depend on its prioritization in relation to other needsacross the province and funding availability. The 2016-2020 Southern Highway Plancan be viewed at http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/highway-bridges/pdfs/southern-highways-program-2016-2020.pdf.

In addition, the ministry is moving forward with two Class Environmental Assessmentand Preliminary Design Studies which will address the need for improvements atHighway 403/QEW and Highway 6/Highway 403 interchanges. These studies will alsolook at highway operations along Highway 403. City of Hamilton staff will be invited toparticipate in these two studies.

Dear Chair Eisenberger and Co mittee,

I wanted to inform you of an exciting development regarding my private member s bill, The

Greater Access to Hepatitis C Treatment Act, 2016. Bill 5 sought to ensure that every individual

in Ontario with hepatitis C would receive treatment upon the recommendation from their

physician, no matter the stage of their disease.

On February 21, 2017, the Ontario government announced the conclusion of negotiation through

the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA). As a result of the pCPA agreement, Ontario

expanded access to three already-funded hepatitis C treatments (Harvoni, Sovadi, Ibavyr) and

added four new drugs (Epclusa, Zepatier, Daklinza and Sunverpra) to the ODB formulary. In

addition, coverage will be extended to all patients regardless of severity of disease or genotype

within the next 12 months.

I am pleased that the government has listened to the recommendation of the Canadian Agency

for Drugs and Technologies (CADTH) and experts like you and adopted my proposal byannouncing this important and overdue change. Thank you for your support in advocating for

patients with hepatitis C.

Dear Mr. Mayor,

As Business Manager of the Provincial Building and Construction Trades Council of Ontairo;and organization representing over 150,000 workers throughout the province, including 20,000workers in the Hamilton-Brantford area, I am writing to you to express our Council s support ofEnbridge’s Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project.

Our members believe that this pipeline replacement project is an important and logical step toensuring the safe and reliable operation of Canada’s vital energy transportation infrastracture.We agree that by replacing this segment of Line 10 rather than applying several preventativemaintenance digs, Enbridge will minimize overall disturbance to landowners along the right-of-way and, in the long term, have less impact on the environment.

When asked at Open Houses and through the National Energy Board (NEB) decision-makingprocess about decommissioning, Enbridge’s response was that by leaving the decommissionedpipeline in place, they will avoid the added disturbance and significant construction activitiesthat excavation and removal would bring. Leaving the line in the ground also reduces the risk ofsoil and slope instability, settlement and compaction issues that could compromise the safety ofactive pipelines sharing that right-of-way. Enbridge has publicly stated that they will beresponsible for the decommissioned pipeline forever. They have stated that neither landownersnor the City would bear any financial costs associated with the decommissioned pipe segments.The National Energy Board agreed with this position and so does our organization.

Ensuring that Great Lakes region refineries have reliable access to lower-priced crude oil fromwestern Canadian sources protects the long-term viability of not just these refining industries butthe numerous direct and indirect jobs that these industries support, including so many inHamilton where energy is consumed by many of our largest employers and employees on a dailybasis. Enbridge has demonstrated to us, our employees and to the National Energy Board, thatthey have a plan in place that will proactively address pipeline maintenance; enhance reliability

5.9 5.5.9

and the safety of the pipeline; ensure there are multiple opportunities for the participation ofindigenous and local businesses; and that they are meeting local, landowner and municipalissues. Moreover, the safety of the pipeline for citizens and workers is enhanced if Enbridgeuses the best-trained, most highly-skilled tradespeople available.

The petrochemical value chain derived from crude oil results in important spinoff manufacturing,including automotive parts, rubber-based products, extruded plastics, secondary and specialtychemicals, insulation and synthetics. This sector also supports Ontario s burgeoning greenenergy sector by supporting the manufacturing of photovoltaic and thermal solar products andbioproducts. The petrochemical industry also supports unlikely sectors such as environmentalfirms, emergency response services, engineering and design firms and also archeological andother heritage businesses. Many other area businesses, such as hotels, grocery stores andrestaurants, will also benefit from the presence of work crews during project construction. Thiswill provide much needed stimulus for our local hospitality industry. Through reverse tradeshows and direct contact with Enbridge procurement, our organization knows that Enbridge hascreated a repository whereby Hamilton and region supplier businesses can submit informationand compete for work contracts with Enbridge. Enbridge staff have helped local businessesnavigate the process for obtaining the required safety accreditations and documentation toimprove their viability for project work.

Maintaining the long-term viability of the refining industry in the Great Lakes region helpsensure that it - and the numerous businesses it supports - can continue to generate many well¬

paying, high-tech jobs, many of them in organized labour environments, along the petrochemicalvalue chain. Moreover, the company is working hard to try and ma imize local Indigenousparticipation in the Line 10 Project and in their ongoing operational service requirements.Maintaining this line will also contribute to tax revenues at all levels of government. Thereplacement of this segment of Line 10 will help these industries remain profitable and ensurethe continuing flow of benefits to Ontario s economy, the City of Hamilton and to thousands ofhard working Hamiltonians.

On behalf of our members, I urge you and your colleagues on City Council to support thisimportant initiative.

Best Regards,

Patrick Dillon, Business ManagerProvincial Building & Const uctionTrades Council of Ontario

Ensuring access to justice in both of Canada s official languages

Bill C-203, An Act to amend the Supreme Court Act (understanding the officiallanguages)

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am very proud to contact you to seek your support for my bill concerning thebilingualism of Canada's Supreme Court judges, which will come up for debate shortly.

The objecti e of Bill C-203, An Act to amend the Supreme Court Act (understanding theofficial languages) is to ensure citizens enjoy substantive equality regarding access tojustice in both official languages. The bill would amend the Supreme Court Act byestablishing a new requirement for judges appointed to the Supreme Court tounderstand French and English without the assistance of an interpreter.

The Supreme Court of Canada is currently the only federal court whose judges are notrequired to understand the people appearing before them or their counsel withoutresorting to an intermediary. This situation is an issue given that all citizens have thebasic right to express themselves in the official language of their choice.

The Supreme Court of Canada is the final court of appeal for all Canadian jurisdictions.As we prepare to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary, we must work together toenhance the vitality of official language minority communities. The passage of my bill onthe bilingualism of judges would be a significant milestone in ensuring access to justicein both official languages.

That is why I am asking you to pass a resolution in support of Bill C-203 and to notifyyour local Member of Parliament.

Subject: C-203 An Act to Amend the Supreme Court Act (Understanding the OfficialLanguages)

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to ask your support for my pri ate members bill, C-203, which will amendsection five of the Supreme Court Act. The proposed amendment intends to promotefurther equality within the justice system by requiring ail Supreme Court judges tounderstand both official languages without the aid of an interpreter.

As the final and highest tribunal available to present a case in the country, it is integralthat all citizens have equal access regardless of which official language they speak.Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, agrees that ensuring the judges can understand thearguments being presented in either language will gain public confidence in the justicesystem. Presently, the judges are not even required to take a proficiency exam ontheir language competency. The Supreme Court exists so that it may serve the peoplewhich it cannot properly achieve should the judges not able to understand bothlanguages being spoken.

This bill also seeks to promote further equality between our two official languages:French and English. Since the law equating the two languages' conception, theSupreme Court has recognized the constitutionality of their equivalence through theirapproval of measures demonstrating such. By requiring the judges to understand bothofficial languages, it would be another step towards ensuring true equality betweenFrench and English.

If you have any further comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me

Frequently Asked Questions1. What does the bill want to change?

Bill C-203 amends the Supreme Court Act and introduces a new requirement for judges appointed to theSupreme Court to understand French and English.

This bill strengthens the foundations and unity of the country, since it improves access to justice in bothofficial languages.

2. What is the spirit of this bill?

Promoting equal access to justice in both official languages; the Supreme Court is the highest court in theland, and all of its judges are required to hear cases. Their decisions can have serious consequences for theparties involved. Unilingual judges have to call upon third parties to be able to understand oral submissionsand written representations. However, simultaneous interpretation and translation have their limits.

Judges ability to understand the official languages fosters the equality of French speakers and Englishpeakers, and guarantees access to the Canadian justice system in both official languages.

3. Why is it important for Supreme Court judges to be bilingual?

Canada s laws are not written in one language and then translated. They are co-drafted in both officiallanguages, and neither language takes precedence over the other. This means the body of Canadianlegislation exists independently in both official languages.

It is therefore essential for Supreme Court judges to understand legislation as it stands, in its duality, so theycan apply it in its entirety, without infringing on the rights of the litigants.

4 How is bilingualism defined in this bill?

It means understanding French and English without the assistance of an interpreter.

5. Why is a law needed when the Supreme Court already has a translation and interpretation ser ice?

The Supreme Court exists to serve Canadians, whether their first official language spoken is French orEnglish.

All citizens have the right to express themselves and be heard and understood in the Supreme Court in theirlanguage of choice (English or French).

The judge should be able to understand the message without a filter.

5.5.10

6. Will the current judges who are not bilingual have to learn t e ot er language?

The bill does not require former judges to be bilingual.

However, it is possible for current judges to become bilingual. A language training program is offered by theOffice of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs to meet the needs of judges, whether for learning thesecond language or maintaining and improving their language skills. See this link: http://www.fia-cmf.qc.ca/trainina-formation/index-eng.htmi.Ill llllll J* I I 111 I I I I 7 W ¦ I rwi Ill II II

There is also an applied training program offered by the Canadian Council of Chief Judges of provincialcourts.

7. Who supports a law on the bilingualism of Supreme Court judges?

The bill has the support of all official languages experts and stakeholders, such as:• the Commissioner of Official Languages• the Barreau du Quebec• the Federation des communautes francophones et acadienne (FCFA)• the Federation des associations de juristes d expression frangaise de common law inc. (FAJEF)• Serge Rousselle, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Moncton, specialist in language rights and

former President of the Association des juristes d expression frangaise du N.-B.Michel Doucet, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Moncton, specialist in language rights

• Sebastien Grammond, Dean, Civil Law Section, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa• Claude Provencher, former Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs and director general of the

Barreau du Quebec;• Jean-Marc Fournier, Quebec minister responsible for Canadian Relations

8. Is our pool of bilingual judges big enough to meet the new requirement of this bill?

Yes. Grammond and Power note that the pool of bilingual appeal court judges is sufficient for appointmentsto the Supreme Court. Prior to the appointment of Justice Moidaver, the second unilingual judge appointedby the Conservatives (the other unilingual judge being Rothstein), Grammond and Power noted that

Over the last two decades, there has been only one of the nine members of the Supreme Court who wasunilingual. Thus, it has been possible to find a good number of bilingual judges.

Furthermore, in the document Should Supreme Court Judges be Required to be Bilingual? , SebastienGrammond and Mark Power clearly establish that 25% of appeal court judges are bilingual.

9. Is this a new bill?

No.The NDP has been championing this bill since 2008.

• 2008: Bill C-559 (introduced in June 2008) died on the Order Paper because of the October 2008election.

• 2010: Bill C-232 passed third reading (the Liberals and the Bloc voted for the bill). It died on theOrder Paper when the federal election was called.

• 2014: the Conservative-majority House of Commons voted against Bill C-208. The Liberals and theBloc voted for the bill.

• 2016: MP Choquette introduced the bill once again.

10. Do we have to c ange the constitution to approve this bill?

No.

People may be confused on account of the Nadon ruling.

SSbastien Grammond, professor of law at the University of Ottawa, considers that a constitutionalamendment for a requirement that appointed judges be bilingual is not necessary. He says that the court sdecision in the Nadon case mainly had to do with Quebec s guaranteed representation on the SupremeCourt under the Constitution. He regards the issue of judges’ bilingualism as a separate subject, adding that,if there are any constitutional doubts, the government should seek the opinion of the Supreme Court.

Such initiatives are a matter for government.

Dear Mayor Eisenberger, Police Chief Girt, and Councillors,

Member of Parliament/DeputeFlamborough-Gian brook

'National Conser ative Caucus Chair/

President du caucus national conservateur

Recently, we have been working on Bill C-37 in the House of Commons and there is one

element of this Bill I would like to bring to your attention because I believe it is particularly

concerning for our community.

Currently, Bill C-37 allows for the placement of a safe injection site in your municipality

without consultation with you, your administration, local law enforcement or the

community.

To me, this is unacceptable. I've had the privilege of being able to work with and get to

know many of you over the ten years that I have served as a Member of Parliament. It is

unfathomable to me that such a community altering decision like a safe injection site

could be located in our community without consultation and without associated financial

support from the Federal Government for items such as policing of these sites or

addictions treatment.

Don t get me wrong. The opioid crisis that many communities across Canada are facing is

desperate and heartbreaking. We hear of addicts and recreational drug users who are

dying in record numbers because of the existence of fentanyl and carfentanil in our

communities. We absolutely must do something to curb the extremely disturbing statistics

we are seeing. However, I believe the answer is in resources for treatment options,

cracking down on drug dealers and addressing the illegal importing of these illicit drugs

not the imposition of safe injection sites in communities.

There are positive elements within C-37 such as increased authority and powers to CBSA

to search and seize suspect packages, unregistered pill presses and other devices; and it

would grant the Minister the authority to quickly and temporarily schedule and class new

substances.

On Feb. 1, we introduced a motion to the House of Commons to split Bill C-37 into two

bills. In doing this, we agreed to pass one portion of the bill immediately through the

House of Commons and the Senate. It would have included key components like those

listed above so we could move those aspects forward quickly. In doing so, we would have

been able to have a fulsome debate on the appropriateness of consultation for safe

injection sites. Unfortunately, this motion was defeated by the Liberals and NDP.

Here is where I m asking for your help. If you share my concerns with lack of consultation

on safe injection sites, I encourage you to write Minister of Health Jane Philpott asking her

to split Bill C-37 and share your thoughts on the input your council would like to have on

the application for and approval of safe injection sites for your community.

If you have any questions, please don t hesitate to contact my office.

Sincerely,

WHEREAS, the Beach Road area was historically planned to accommodate industrial growth and contains legal non-confirming residential housing;

WHEREAS, the existing residential properties within the Beach Road neighbourhood were zoned to permit industrial and employment uses consistent with the light industrial zoning;

WHEREAS, there are residential dwellings within the Beach Road neighbourhood that cannot be converted for industrial and employment type uses;

WHEREAS, the desired use of industrial is not feasible until servicing is in place so the current uses have to continue despite the zoning;

WHEREAS this creates an unnecessary financial burden on the existing residents who cannot improve their residential property or develop the property for industrial and employment uses,


(a) That staff be directed to report back on the feasibility of including an 'as of right' amendment to the bylaw, or the cost associated with a refund, upon written request of the owner, of the City of Hamilton's required Minor Variance application fee for the expansion or alteration to a legal non-conforming residential property to permit an accessory use in the Beach Road neighbourhood where the application is supported by the City of Hamilton Planning Staff and approved by the Committee of Adjustment, effective April 1st, 2017 for a 24 month period, and to report back on possible funding sources including but not limited to the Tax Stabilization Reserve;

2042 Jerseyville Road West, Ancaster

Description of Historic Place The Kelly House is a one-and-a-half storey frame dwelling that was constructed circa 1859 and was originally clad in clapboard (now clad in aluminum siding). The dwelling was built in the Georgian architectural style and includes elements of Neo-Classical architecture. There was a rear addition which was added in the 1990s. During the 1970s, chimneys were constructed at the end of each gable using brick from the basement floor. One window has since been replaced and wooden shutters have been added to the façade windows. Overall, the original dwelling has had few alterations and largely contains an intact interior and exterior form.

The farmhouse is also a rare surviving example of Pre-Confederation frame construction. The Reasons for Designation apply to all elevations and the roofline of the former farmhouse including all façades, entranceways, windows, and brick chimneys, together with construction materials of brick, wood, and glazing, building techniques, and landscape features.

REVISEDMember Motion

City Council

MM24.14 ACTION Ward:All

Supporting the viability of heritage and arts and culture spaces - byCouncillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Josh Matlow

* Notice of this Motion has been given.* This Motion is subject to referral to the Executive Committee. A two-thirds vote is requiredto waive referral.

RecommendationsCouncillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Josh Matlow, recommends that:

1. City Council request the Government of Ontario to work with municipalities to examineproperty assessment for listed and designated heritage properties, including tools that wouldsupport the conservation of heritage properties and Municipal Property AssessmentCorporation property-assessment tools and processes.

2. City Council request the Government of Ontario to work with municipalities to exploreopportunities to support non-profit arts and culture organizations and incubators, includingproperty assessment tools and changes to the Ontario Culture Strategy to support the continuedvibrancy of the sector.

SummaryArts and culture are central to the fabric and vibrancy of our City. Ensuring that Torontos artssector continues to thrive is a critical step toward building a world-class city that is adestination for tourists and employers, and provides a great quality of life for all residents.The drivers of innovation in this field are mostly housed by small, incubator arts organizations,which provide space, support, and exposure to many independent artists, including women,people of colour, and Indigenous Torontonians.

Many of these small arts organizations are in heritage buildings throughout the City, with aparticularly high concentration in the Ward 20 neighbourhood of King-Spadina. Examples ofthis include 401 Richmond, which is a vital part of the local neighbourhood, and an importantlandmark in Toronto. Unfortunately, heritage assets such as 401 Richmond, and the creativeorganizations inside, are increasingly under threat as development pressure grows in areas suchas King-Spadina.

It is critical that we protect these heritage resources through the establishment of HeritageConservation Districts, and the use of other tools to protect these vital structures.

The City is working hard to protect and encourage the retention of heritage structures.

7.7.3

However, new property assessments that reflect the potential value of a new condo, completelyignoring the current use, serve as a disincentive to retain heritage. The pace at which propertyvalues continue to rise across the city is threatening not only countless heritage resources, butthe survival of independent artists and cultural organizations.

As an example, 401 Richmond has taken on new life as a pillar of the creative industry. Theformer factory is now home to producers in this age of creativity, rather than the tapestries andproducts of the past. The building's unique operating model, and protection as a heritageresource, have allowed a vibrant arts and culture centre to develop. The recent MunicipalProperty Assessment Corporation re-assessment of the building is a serious and urgent newchallenge, and is in danger of causing the loss of both the building itself, and the vital resourceshoused within.

401 Richmond is just one critical example. In 2015, as part of the development of the OntarioCulture Strategy, the City of Toronto provided a submission to the Government of Ontario thatrequested the examination of a property assessments for designated heritage properties, as aneffort to both protect these resources for the future, but also to encourage their maintenance fordynamic purposes including the arts, as opposed to just highest and best use .

It is critical that the City of Toronto continue its advocacy to the Provincial Government toaddress both heritage retention, and support for arts and cultural organizations throughout ourcommunities.
