�Outlook
Barrie Hospice of Elgin
From Karen Vecchio
Date Mon 1/12/2026 11:23 AM
To Admin Team <adminteam@elgin.ca>
Cc Robert Furneaux
Elgin County Warden and Councillors,
I am writing to express my strong support for the County of Elgin's financial support of the Barrie
Hospice of Elgin. As our community continues to age, the need for compassionate, accessible end -of -life
care for seniors and their families across Elgin County and the City of St. Thomas has never been more
critical.
This issue is deeply personal to me. My own mother is 85 years old and has faced significant and
complex health challenges, including heart disease, pulmonary fibrosis, mobility loss, and advancing
dementia. As her needs have increased, our family has experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to
navigate the healthcare system while also trying to ensure comfort, dignity, and emotional support. In
searching for resources within our community, it has become clear that hospice care is not a "nice to
have" — it is an essential service for families during one of the most vulnerable times of their lives.
Hospice services provide far more than medical support. They offer pain and symptom management,
emotional and spiritual care, and guidance for families who are often overwhelmed, exhausted, and
grieving even before a loved one passes. For seniors in Elgin and St. Thomas, especially those with
complex or chronic conditions, hospice care can mean the difference between fear and comfort,
isolation and support, crisis and compassion.
I also write from the perspective of someone who knows this community well. Through my work as the
Member of Parliament for Elgin —Middlesex —London, I have had the privilege of meeting countless
seniors, caregivers, healthcare workers, and families across our region. I have heard repeatedly about
the strain on families caring for aging loved ones and the growing gaps in end -of -life care. Community -
based hospice services like the Barrie Hospice of Elgin help fill those gaps in a way that is humane, cost-
effective, and aligned with the values of our region.
Supporting hospice care is an investment in dignity, compassion, and community well-being. As our
population ages, the demand for these services will only increase. Continued and stable financial
support from the County of Elgin ensures that residents can access quality end -of -life care close to
home, surrounded by familiar faces and community supports.
I strongly encourage the County of Elgin to recognize the Barrie Hospice of Elgin as an essential service
and to continue its financial commitment to this vital organization. Our seniors — and the families who
love and care for them — deserve nothing less.
Thank you for your consideration and for your ongoing commitment to the well-being of our community.

Karen Vecchio

To: Warden Giguere and Members of Elgin County Council
Please accept my congratulations on Dominique Giguere's appointment as Warden to Elgin
County. I had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with the mayor of Malahide in the past and
know that we are in excellent hands.
In keeping with Ms. Giguere's remarks about the various hats councillors wear, I would also like
to talk to you about hats. I want to focus on the unique hats that you wear as County
Councillors when you are serving in your role as the library board.
I was employed as the Aylmer Librarian, a branch of the Elgin County Library System, from
1983 to 2014. In 1986 the county dissolved the library board, and the county library has
subsequently been under the direction of Elgin County Council.
In Ontario, public libraries are governed by the Public Libraries Act, which sets out a clear
model: a municipality may establish a library, but it must do so through a library board, which
becomes a separate, independent corporate entity responsible for delivering library services to
the community. The board is not a department. Its members are fiduciaries; once
appointed, they serve the library, not council's political agenda. Council cannot direct it. It
is this very independence that is the foundation of everything libraries stand for and how we
guarantee freedom of expression.
What are the responsibilities of a library board and its members?
A Public Library board ensures a comprehensive and efficient public library service that
reflects the community's unique needs.
When board members are at a library board meeting, they must be loyal to the interests of
the library.
Board members are required to act in the best interests of the library and are required to
do so with competence and diligence. Each board member must take responsibility for
their own position on the board and be knowledgeable about the work they are doing.
This is regardless of other boards or committees you may sit on, or personal interests you
may have.
• A collaborative relationship between each public library board and its municipal council
is critical to effective public library governance.
flow are library board members chosen?
A library board must have at least 5 members consisting of a mix of council members and
local residents who serve a 4-year term. In a county library system, council must not
appoint more of its own members than a bare majority of the board.
Page 13 of 89
How often should a library board meet?
• The Board must hold a minimum of 7 meetings per year.
With the appointment of our new Elgin County warden, it is an opportune time for Elgin County
Council to consider this vital role and to act in the best interest of libraries when wearing their
library board hats.
Finally, I remind councillors that we are in the process of an important decision about the location of the
Aylmer Library. Please consider your decisions carefully.
Thank you,
Christina Mayhew,
cc. Brian Masschaele — Director Community and Cultural Services

Dear Prime Minister
www.aylmer.ca
Re: Support for the City of Welland's Call to Action for Justice and Protection of Canada's
Children
At their Regular Meeting of Council on January 15, 2026, the Council of the Town of Aylmer
endorsed the following resolution:
Whereas the Town of Aylmer supports the City of Welland's call to action for justice
and protection of Canada's children; and,
Whereas the safety and well-being of children is a fundamental responsibility shared
by all levels of government; and,
Whereas recent incidents involving sexual offences against children have deeply
affected communities across Ontario and Canada, raising serious concerns about
public safety and the adequacy of existing legislative protections; and,
Whereas violent sexual crimes against children represent some of the most serious
offences under the Criminal Code of Canada and have lifelong impacts on victims,
families, and communities; and,
Whereas municipalities play a critical role in advocating for policies that protect
residents and promote safe communities; and,
Whereas there is a growing concern that gaps in bail, sentencing, parole eligibility, and
offender monitoring allow high -risk individuals to re-enter communities pre -maturely,
placing children at continued risk;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the Town of Aylmer formally urges all
levels of government to review and strengthen legislation and policies related to violent
and sexual offences against children, including but not limited to:

i"rourtl Her k,9gv, BurghC Fwuquiv, www.aylmer.ca
1. Bail and Sentencing Provisions - ensuring that individuals charged with or convicted
of violent sexual offences against children are subject to the strictest possible bail
conditions and sentencing outcomes that reflect the severity of these crimes;
2. Parole and Early Release - limiting parole eligibility, statutory release, or other forms
of early release for offenders convicted of sexual offences against children who pose
ongoing risks to public safety;
3. Sex Offender Monitoring - strengthening the National Sex Offender Registry and
related provincial tools to improve accuracy, enforcement, and timely access to
information for law enforcement; and
4. Victim and Community Safety - prioritizing the protection of children and community
safety within the justice system above administrative or procedural efficiencies;
And be it further resolved that copies of this resolution by forwarded to:
The Premier of Ontario
The Attorney General of Ontario
The Solicitor General of Ontario
The Prime Minister of Canada
The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Member of Provincial Parliament, Rob Flack
Member of Parliament, Andrew Lawton
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and;
All 444 Ontario Municipalities
And be it further resolved that Council encourages municipalities to adopt similar
resolutions to work collaboratively to present a unified municipal voice advocating for
stronger protections for children across Canada.
Yours sincerely,
Owen Jaggard

Western Ontario Wardens' Caucus Advances Key Municipal
Priorities at ROMA 2026
Toronto, ON — The Western Ontario Wardens' Caucus (WOWC) had a strong presence at the 2026
Rural Ontario Municipal Association (ROMA) conference, engaging with provincial leaders to advance
priorities that strengthen communities across Western Ontario. The conference provided a platform
for WOWC to share municipal perspectives, address pressing challenges, and explore collaborative
solutions with provincial partners.
"Western Ontario municipalities are dealing with complex challenges that affect residents' daily lives,
from staffing shortages in essential services to the need for robust municipal infrastructure that
supports growth, community safety and well-being," said WOWC Chair, Marcus Ryan. "ROMA
provides a vital opportunity to bring these local realities directly to provincial leaders, ensuring
decisions reflect the needs of our communities and support practical, sustainable solutions."
Key Discussions at ROMA 2026
WOWC met with Parliamentary Assistant Silvia Gualtieri (Ministry of Solicitor General) to discuss
challenges with Vulnerable Sector Checks, including delays affecting timely hiring in long-term care
and early childhood education, inconsistent interpretations across jurisdictions, and impacts on
staffing stability and service delivery.
The Caucus also met with Associate Minister Sam Oosterhoff (Ministry of Energy and Mines) to
discuss broadband and cellular infrastructure priorities for Southwestern Ontario, focusing on building
on provincial investments, addressing remaining service gaps, and supporting economic
development, public safety, and quality of life in rural communities.
In addition, WOWC met with Hydro One staff to explore opportunities for ongoing collaboration on
regional infrastructure and energy initiatives, reinforcing the importance of strong municipal —industry
partnerships in supporting local growth and sustainability.
Powering Ontario's Economic Engine: After -Hours Reception
A highlight of ROMA 2026 was the Powering Ontario's Economic Engine After -Hours Reception,
hosted by WOWC and sponsored by Bruce Power and the Nuclear Innovation Institute. The event
brought together municipal and regional leaders, Ministers and Members of Provincial Parliament

COUNTY OF ELGIN AND ITS CONSTITUENT LOWER TIER MUNICIPALITIES"
WHEREAS, for purposes of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25, as amended,
(hereinafter "Act"), the Corporation of the County of Elgin is an upper -tier municipality; and,
WHEREAS Section 289 of the Act provides that the Council of each upper -tier municipality
shall in each year prepare and adopt a budget including estimates of all sums required
during the year for the purposes of the upper -tier municipality; and,
WHEREAS Section 308(5) of the Act provides that the Council of an upper -tier municipality
shall in each year establish tax ratios for that year for the upper -tier municipality and its
lower -tier municipalities; and,
WHEREAS Section 308(7) of the Act provides that the Council of each upper -tier
municipality shall in each year establish, for each property class, a single tax ratio for the
upper -tier municipality and its lower -tier municipalities; and,
WHEREAS Section 308(15) through Section 308(18) of the Act provides that the Council of
each municipality may in each year opt to have certain optional property classes apply
within the County; and,
WHEREAS Section 308.1(5) of the Act provides that an upper -tier municipality that intends
to apply a tax ratio of less than 0.25 to the farm property class for a tax year shall pass a by-
law in the year to establish the tax ratio for that year for the farm property class.
WHEREAS Section 22 of Regulation 282/98 made under the Assessment Act, R.S.O.
1990, c. A.31, as amended, has given municipalities the option to reduce the property tax
rate on qualifying value-added activities that occur on farms as part of the farming
business to 75 per cent lower than the industrial or commercial tax rates that would
otherwise apply; and,
WHEREAS the local municipally owned landfill sites in the Municipalities of Dutton Dunwich
and West Elgin did not previously pay property tax in respect of those properties to the
Corporation of the County of Elgin, as their associated upper -tier municipality until an
amendment to the taxation regulations created such an obligation, and, further thereto, the
Corporation of the County of Elgin finds that the landfill tax ratio, when applied, unfairly
penalizes the said local municipalities; and,
WHEREAS, notwithstanding that set forth immediately above, it is necessary to apply the
revenue neutral landfill ratio/tax rate; and,
WHEREAS Section 107 (1) of the Act provides that Council may make grants to any person,
group or body Council deems in the interest of the municipality.

5. THAT the 2026 tax rates for the assessment in each property class for the
Corporation of the County of Elgin as set out in Schedule "B" attached hereto be
