Demandeur

CHOD-FM – La radio communautaire de l’Est de l’Ontario

Représentant : Marc Charbonneau ([email protected])

Raison sociale : Radio communautaire Cornwall-Alexandria inc.

Objet : Demande de subvention

But : La radio communautaire de l'est ontarien CHOD-FM a obtenu du CRTC et d'Industrie

Canada, l'autorisation de doubler sa puissance émettrice afin de rendre accessible son service

de radiodiffusion à plus d'une cinquante de communautés francophones supplémentaires des

Comté Unis de Prescott-Russell. Le signal sera également renforcé dans les communautés

francophones actuellement desservies dans les Comté Unis de SDG.

Le projet est évalué à 350 mil dollars. CHOD-FM est à la recherche d'une subvention unique

des CUPR pour concrétiser l'achat et l'installation de l'équipement d'ici juin 2014. Une

nouvelle antenne et un nouvel émetteur seront installés dans une tour située à Lancaster,

Ontario, et propriété de Bell Média. La contribution monétaire ne servira qu'à l'achat et à

l'installation du nouvel équipement nécessaire au projet d'augmentation de puissance tel

qu'approuvé par le CRTC et Industrie Canada. La gestion du projet est assurée par une équipe

de bénévoles appuyée de professionnels dans le domaine de la radiodiffusion.

Patrimoine canadien a versé une aide financière de 171,697 dollars au projet. La somme

supplémentaire de 175,000 dollars est recherchée pour concrétiser le projet. Une aide

financière de 100,000 dollars est proposée aux Comtés Unis de Prescott-Russell, soit 30% du

coût total. La Fondation Trillium, La Société de développement économique de SDG et La

Ville de Cornwall, ainsi que les Caisses populaires de l’Est ontarien comptent parmi les

organisations invitées à contribuer financièrement au projet d'augmentation de puissance de la

radio communautaire, CHOD-FM. La station contribuera de 5 à 10 mil dollars au projet, et

ses bénévoles fourniront des centaines d'heures à la bonne marche des opérations.

Le projet offre de nombreux avantages aux Comtés Unis de Prescott-Russell. Il permettra de

répondre, dans leur langue, aux besoins collectifs des communautés francophones des Comtés

unis de Prescott-Russell. Il servira d'outil de communication ayant pour but de représenter et

de promouvoir les activités, produits et services des organismes communautaires,

municipaux, publics et privés issus de nombreux domaines : socio-culturel, artistique,

communautaire, municipal, agricole, récréo-touristique, économique, etc.

La radio CHOD-FM favorise également l'intégration des citoyens francophones d'ici et

d'ailleurs à leur communauté, et la participation collective des citoyens aux enjeux de société.

Enfin, la radio agit comme système de communication de masse dans l’Est ontarien, au

service des intervenants de première ligne en situation d'urgence.

CHOD-FM est un organisme sans but lucratif incorporé depuis 1993 en Ontario. Il offre un

service de radiodiffusion 24 heures par jour, 7 jours par semaine. La programmation en ondes

est financée par des activités commerciales publicitaires, des cours de formation en

journalisme, en animation, en programmation et en production audio, par des projets éducatifs

et sociaux, et par une campagne de levée de fonds récurrente qui remet aux auditeurs 90 mil

dollars de prix en argent comptant annuellement. D'autre part, CHOD-FM vient de compléter

en 2012, un projet d'achat, d'installation et de réaménagement complet de ses studios de

diffusion grâce à une subvention de 110 mil dollars de la Fondation Trillium de l'Ontario.

CHOD-FM est composée d'un conseil d'administration comptant des membres bénévoles élus,

des professionnels en radiodiffusion et en administration des affaires, et des bénévoles qui

contribuent, par la prestation de leurs services, aux opérations de la station en ondes et hors

des ondes.

La radio communautaire CHOD-FM est un organisme sans but lucratif. Elle constitue un

puissant outil de communication qui a été créé pour desservir les communautés francophones

de l'Est de l'Ontario. Les sondages des 10 dernières années réalisés par la firme Léger et Léger

démontrent le grand intérêt des citoyens pour leur radio francophone. Depuis les 10 dernières

années, plus de 60% des francophones des comtés unis de SDG écoutent CHOD-FM.

L’actualité, de préférence régionale, les activités/événements communautaires et la musique

francophone sont les principales motivations des auditeurs qui écoutent CHOD-FM.

Depuis 1994, CHOD-FM fait la promotion et appui avec succès des activités ainsi que des

initiatives communautaires, sociales, culturelles, récréatives, éducatives, municipales et

privées de tout l’Est ontarien. Elle favorise la participation collective des citoyens des

communautés de Prescott-Russell&SDG, et améliore leur qualité de vie. La radio est avec la

télé le média le plus populaire, puisqu'il rejoint plus de 85% de la population à chaque

semaine. La radio est particulièrement utile aux moins fortunés et aux 50% de citoyens

canadiens qui n’ont pas la capacité de comprendre un texte écrit suffisamment pour

fonctionner en société. (Statistiques Canada sur le taux d'alphabétisation des canadiens)

Chod-fm est la seule station de radio francophone établie dans les Comtés-Unis de Prescott-

Russell et SDG. Elle est également la seule à offrir une programmation divertissante au

contenu oral et musical principalement axé sur les intérêts de la population francophone de

l'Est de l'ontario.

La radio joue un rôle de catalyseur aux initiatives communautaires, publiques et privées.

Elle favorise le développement économique, récréo-touristique, social, communautaire,

municipal, patrimonial, et culturel des communautés francophones ainsi que leur

épanouissement dans leur langue.

Elle stimule le bénévolat et aide ainsi au développement des organismes, associations,

regroupements ainsi qu'aux institutions communautaires et municipales, par la promotion de

leurs activités et initiatives.

Elle favorise l'intégration des citoyens et des nouveaux arrivants dans la communauté.

Elle agit comme moyen de communication aux intervenants de première ligne en situation

d'urgence.

Chodfm a démontré depuis 1994 qu'elle est autosuffisante et qu'elle possède l'expertise en

radiodiffusion pour assurer un service continuel. La contribution monétaire permettra non

seulement de fournir l'accès à la radio CHOD-FM à plus de 50 communautés francophones de

Prescott-Russell, mais également de renforcer la capacité financière, les ressources humaines,

et la prestation des services de l'organisme communautaire CHOD-FM radio.

CHOD-FM Cornwall – modifications techniques

1. Le Conseil approuve la demande présentée par la Radio communautaire Cornwall Alexandria inc. afin de modifier le périmètre de rayonnement autorisé de l’entreprise de programmation de radio communautaire de langue française CHOD-FM Cornwall en augmentant la puissance apparente rayonnée (PAR) moyenne de 19 200 à 34 167 watts (PAR maximale de 45 600 à 60 000 watts), en changeant la classe de B à C1, en augmentant la hauteur effective d’antenne au-dessus du sol moyen de 39 à 106,7 mètres et en déplaçant le site de transmission. La mise en œuvre est conditionnelle à la confirmation du ministère de l’Industrie (le Ministère) énoncée au paragraphe 3 ci-dessous. Le Conseil n’a reçu aucune intervention à l’égard de la présente demande.

2. Le titulaire indique avoir mené une enquête révélant que de tels changements sont nécessaires puisque les résultats démontrent qu’une portion de la population franco-ontarienne, soit l’auditoire cible, éprouve des difficultés à capter le signal de CHOD-FM.

3. Le Conseil rappelle au titulaire qu’en vertu de l’article 22(1) de la Loi sur la radiodiffusion, la présente autorisation n’entrera en vigueur que sur confirmation du ministère de l’Industrie (le Ministère) que ses exigences techniques sont satisfaites et qu’il est prêt à émettre un certificat de radiodiffusion. Par conséquent, à défaut de recevoir cette confirmation du Ministère, le demandeur ne pourra mettre en œuvre les nouveaux paramètres techniques approuvés dans la présente décision.

AMO Breaking News - Joint and Several Liability

TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE CLERK AND COUNCIL

March 4, 2014

Legislature Supports Motion on Municipal Liability Reform – More Municipal Action Needed

On February 27, 2014, MPPs from all parties supported a motion calling on the government to reform joint and several liability. Passage of this resolution marks a significant milestone in the municipal campaign for reform. Now that the issue has captured the attention of the Legislature, it is time for your municipality to consider the endorsement of a more detailed legislative solution.

Nearly 200 municipalities supported the motion introduced by Randy Pettapiece, MPP for Perth-Wellington which called on the government to implement a comprehensive, long-term solution no later than June 2014. Many more also wrote to the Attorney General, the Honourable John Gerretsen in response to AMO’s February 7, 2014 call for support.

Currently, the Ministry of the Attorney General is consulting municipalities and the legal community on a comprehensive long-term solution. The Ministry describes three options below:

The Saskatchewan model: This modification to joint and several liability was adopted in Saskatchewan in 2004. Under the Saskatchewan model, where there is a shortfall due to one defendant being insolvent and the plaintiff’s own negligence contributed to the harm, the shortfall is to be divided among the remaining defendants and the plaintiff in proportion to their fault. This model would apply to all types of defendants in all types of negligence claims.

The Multiplier model: In road authority cases (auto accident cases in which a municipality is sued for breach of duty to maintain a public road), where there is a shortfall due to one defendant being insolventthe municipality would never be liable for more than two times its proportion of damages, even if this means that a plaintiff does not fully recover. Because this rule has the potential to result in a seriously injured plaintiff being unable to fully recover, the proposal would be limited to municipalities and to the specific subset of cases that municipalities tell us impose the most significant and unfair burden – road authority cases.

The Combined model: The Saskatchewan model and the Multiplier model could be combined. In a case in which both models would apply – a road authority case involving contributory negligence on the part of the plaintiff – the Saskatchewan model would be applied first. The Multiplier model would be applied if needed to ensure that the municipality would not be liable for more than two times its proportion of damages.

2

AMO supports the adopted of the "Combined model" listed above. This places some reasonable limits on the damages that may be recovered from a municipality under limited circumstances. It is a significant incremental step to address a pressing municipal issue.

The Ministry of the Attorney General is seeking your comments by April 16, 2014. We urge all municipalities to express their support for this combined model. This includes municipalities which supported either the Pettapiece motion or AMO’s form letter of February 7, 2014.

Below is a draft letter for municipalities to submit to the provincial government by April 16, 2014. Please add your community’s voice of support to this solution.

The Honourable Kathleen Wynne Premier of Ontario Legislative Building - Room 281 Queen's Park Toronto ON M7A 1A1

The Honourable John Gerretsen Attorney General McMurtry-Scott Building 720 Bay Street – 11th Floor Toronto ON M7A 2S9

The Honourable Linda Jeffrey Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing 777 Bay Street - 17th Floor Toronto ON M5G 2E5

Dear Premier, Attorney General, MMAH Minister:

[I or we] support the government’s consideration and adoption of measures which limit the impact of joint and several liability on municipalities. Specifically, we understand three options are under consideration – the Saskatchewan Model, the Multiplier Model, or a third model which combines both.

I write to you in support of this third Combined Model as described by AMO’s March 4, 2014 policy update. We support AMO’s advice to the government that such changes would represent a significant incremental step to address a pressing municipal issue. This places some reasonable limits on the damages that may be recovered from a municipality under limited circumstances.

The provisions of the Negligence Act have not been updated for decades and the legislation was never intended to place the burden of insurer of last resort on municipalities. It is entirely unfair to ask municipalities to carry the lion’s share of a damage award when at minimal fault or to assume responsibility for someone else’s mistake.

For this reason, [I or we] support the adoption of the Combined Model under consideration. We strongly encourage the government to immediately proceed with legislation which gives effect to this model.

Sincerely,

AMO Breaking News - Province Proposes Provincial Oversight of Municipal Government

From: AMO Communications <[email protected]> Date: 6 March, 2014 10:17:41 EST To: Parisien, Stéphane P <[email protected]> Subject: AMO Breaking News - Province Proposes Provincial Oversight of Municipal Government

TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE CLERK AND COUNCIL 

Wynne Government Embraces Provincial Oversight of Municipal Government

Today, Ontario’s Premier, Kathleen Wynne, stated that her government intends to create new municipal accountability measures and assert greater Provincial oversight over municipal government. 

Municipalities would be required to either create new processes to review complaints about service delivery, or choose to have service complaints investigated by the Office of Ontario’s Ombudsman, Andre Marin. Furthermore, municipal service complaint processes and investigations carried out by anyone other than the Provincial Ombudsman, could be subjected to “review” by his office.

We will share further details about these proposals as they become available.

AMO fully supports efficient and credible oversight of municipal services and governance. Public trust, accountability, transparency and integrity strengthen municipal government. However, AMO rejects the Wynne Government’s vision of how best to achieve it. 

The Ontario Government would layer Provincial oversight and new administrative processes on municipal government. It represents duplication and inefficiency, and importantly, it suggests that Wynne’s Government does not trust in the capacity of municipal government to expose and address questions about performance and integrity. 

No one knows what it would cost municipal government to fulfill these new responsibilities. But new costs are inevitable, the administrative burden is likely to be substantial, and municipalities and their citizens should expect more red tape. 

Assigning oversight authority to the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman, a provincial appointee who is based at Queen’s Park and who reports to Ontario’s Legislature, has the effect of transferring local municipal accountability to the Province. AMO is curious to see whether the opposition Conservatives and New Democrats will support that, or reject the invitation to micromanage municipal government. 

2

Municipalities are committed to accountability and transparency. Public trust is one of our greatest assets. A municipal government that lacks public trust has every reason to earn it, and good government is best served when local municipalities meet that goal independently.

Over the past decade, the Ontario Government and municipal governments have respected one another as willing, able and capable partners. AMO wants the Wynne Government, and opposition leaders, to be clear about their vision for future provincial and municipal relations, and the capacity of municipal government. Our vision has not changed: municipalities are looking for leadership that partners with municipal government, respects them, and believes in them.

PLEASE NOTE AMO Breaking News will be broadcast to the member municipality's council, administrator, clerk, and treasurer.  Recipients of the AMO broadcasts are free to redistribute the AMO broadcasts to other municipal staff as required.  We have decided to not add other staff to these broadcast lists in order to ensure accuracy and efficiency in the management of our various broadcast lists.

DISCLAIMER These are final versions of AMO documents.  AMO assumes no responsibility for any discrepancies that may have been transmitted with the electronic version. The printed versions of the documents stand as the official record.

Dear Stéphane;

AMCTO is delighted to inform you that the United Counties of Prescott and Russell has

been selected to participate in the 2014-2015 term of the Ontario Municipal Management

Internship Program.

Your municipality was selected on the basis of your capacity and willingness to provide a

quality hands-on learning experience in a wide range of municipal operation areas as

outlined in your application. The selection committee was impressed by the work plan as

well as the level of commitment shown by your municipal administration and council.

The high standard of the many submissions received made the decision a very difficult

one. We are confident that the Host Municipalities that have been chosen to participate

this year will provide a meaningful, high-level, learning and growth environment for

these future municipal leaders.

Internship candidates bring forth a fresh perspective and innovative ideas that will help

add value to your municipality. The focus of the program is based on understanding the

overall management responsibilities of a CAO, the senior management team and

departmental managers. Activities within the program should be directly relevant to this

overall management lens. This is supplemented by your commitment to mentor and

coach the intern for the duration of the term.

as well as complete (along with the intern) and submit to AMCTO a year-end survey and

report at the end of the program.

Hiring the Intern

AMCTO does not hold the expectation that you will hire your intern at the completion of

the internship; however the end of the internship does not restrict the municipality in any

way from continuing the intern’s employment after that date. The municipality may wish

to extend their contract to have the intern finish projects and of course are welcome to

approach the intern with a job offer or encourage him/her to apply for a position within

the municipal corporation at the conclusion of the internship year. If you do not intend to

hire your intern, you are encouraged to assist and support your intern in his/her search for

another municipal position.

We expect very shortly to be making a formal public announcement regarding the 2014-

2015 participating Host Municipalities and the interns selected. Following completion of

the hiring process, we will also be developing for dissemination a media release that will

profile the selected municipalities as well as their interns. Upon the public release of this

information we encourage you to share this information via your communication

channels.

We appreciate the commitment from your municipality to provide a valuable work

experience for your intern. We are confident that the commitment of time will prove to be

a worthwhile investment in light of the tremendous value that the interns will provide to

your municipality and ultimately to the field of municipal administration. Thank you

again for your participation in this program.

If you have any questions or require any additional information about the Municipal

Internship Program please contact Rick Johal, AMCTO’s Director of Government

Relations & Legislative Services by phone at (905) 602-4294 ext. 232 or by e-mail at
