Below are highlights of the past year. care beds to TDMH ITom Woodingford Lodge in to be constructed on TDMH property. Plans were completed to transfer 34 long-term Woodstock. These beds will be in a new building Construction is planned to begin in the summer of 2002. The TiIlsonburg Life Care Residences Board, together with the TDMH Board decided not to proceed with Valley Ridge Place in order to not place the hospital at further risk. I I Through the summer the entire hospital team prepared for Accreditation 200 I The efforts were rewarded with the receipt of Accreditation with many favourable comments. The Hospital Team is congratulated for this and a long record of successful accreditations. l Oxford the and TDMH's involvement in the Thames Valley Hospital Planning Partnership Hospital Strategic Alliance continued with positive results. ¡ In November the Hospital Board held a successful retreat that focused on the needs of the community and the steps to be taken to achieve them. From that, a strategic plan was developed that included proceeding with a master plan and master program to best coordinate the t objectives. Included in the strategic plan is an application for a dialysis unit. With the help of a community based volunteer group and the master plan we are hopeful that this application will be successful. I the increase to successful and we look forward The Physician Recruitment Committee has been in resources for our community. J J of the Hospital Auxiliary are commended for their ongoing support, both financially the many volunteer hours supplied. The Auxiliary helps TDMH deliver quality patient Members and for care. I I I wish to express my personal thanks to past chair, Joe DiGiovanni, for his guidance and support. I would also like to extend my thanks to all the Board members for their commitment to serve. Finally, my thanks to the leadership team, Brenda Butters, the Executive Committee, Dr. R. Dalby, the Medical Team members, Hospital Team members and the volunteers for their support and dedication. I I J 2002 TDMH Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees, June 25th Page-6- 6 Chief of Staff Report Dr. R. W. Dalby and Dr. Brian Holowachuk joined the active medical staff after doing a six-month locum. Dr. Jeff Barrett is doing a six-month locum at present and hopefully will join the active staff in the future. Doctors Mervin Lee from Woodstock and Gina Lacuesta from London have been helping with the internal medicine coverage on weekends. Internal medicine is one area where future recruitment is very important to maintain good quality medicine for our community. Dr. Andew Samis, a surgeon from Kingston, has done several weeks of locum coverage over the past year. He has been instrumental in the recruitment of two surgeons who have agreed to practice here over the next couple of years beginning in the summer. With the help of Dr. Samis we are also hoping to recruit two part-time anaesthetists which will help with our strategic plan in the future operation of the hospital. Besides Dr. Sam is, the other two individuals who have contributed tremendously to the recruitment of physicians are Marty Klein and John Moylan along with the recruitment committee. Marty particularly, has been a tireless worker on this behalf. The hospital again had four medical students for a week, which may aid in the future recruitment of doctors. On the downside, Dr. Jim Brown has retired from the medical staff. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. This past year the main two items of importance were divided between physician recruitment retention and the strategic plan concerning the direction our hospital should take in the future. Dr. Jacqueline Crosby, a surgeon, has joined the staff to replace Jim Brown and she has been a welcome addition. However, since she resides in London the medical staff has had to stop doing elective obstetrics due to the fact that we do not have 24 hour per day 7 days per week of back-up for caesarean sections. Our obstetrical patients are being served by London, Woodstock and St. Thomas at this time. The Thames Valley District Health Council has formed a committee on which we are represented by Brenda Butters and Dr. John Andrew to come up with a plan for OB services in the future for the entire region as we are not the only hospital with this problem. Our hospital is also involved with the Thames Valley Region through London's University Hospital in a Stroke Study in which appropriate patients are transferred there immediately for possible thrombolytic therapy in an attempt to decrease the morbidity associated with strokes. Our hospital is also working with the Thames Valley Region to see if severe trauma patient may be transferred directly to London to avoid unnecessary delays in treatment Our hospital, through the leadership of Brenda Butters, is involved in a Master Planning Process to expand our surgery department by the recruitment of two additional surgeons plus an anaesthetist so that both operating suites can be used simultaneously with the increased manpower. This will require the formation of an endoscopy suite. This plan also envisions changes to the Diagnostic Department and possibly a dialysis unit. We also hope to increase our outpatient clinics to include a possible ENT clinic and a gynaecological clinic. These are major undertakings but we feel it is essential for the continuation of good quality medical care for the community as well as being essential to the recruitment of doctors and other health care workers. I feel our hospital, in spite of the cessation of elective obstetrical services, has progressed and made great strides in the right direction this past year. As for myself, my contribution could not have been made without the excellent leadership of Brenda Butters, the help of Marty Klein and Julie Gilvesy as well as all the other individuals in Administration, the team leaders, the nurses, the other health care workers and my fellow doctors. Lastly, I would like to thank the Board for all the support over the past year. ¡ Respectfully submitted, Dr. RW Dalby Chief of Staff I 2002 TDMH Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees, June 25th Page- 10- 7 President's Report Brenda Butters was a year in which It Fiscal year 2001/2002 has been both challenging and deeply rewarding. TDMH celebrated the past, the present and planned for a successful future. 75 years of TDMH providing quality care and service to our community was celebrated through a variety of venues throughout the year. The highlight was the hospital re-dedication ceremony held on April 17, 2001 in which the Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Health and Long Term Care, was the guest speaker. Joined by our patients, team members, healthcare partners and members of the community, we reflected on the history of our organization and celebrated the progressive growth achieved in delivering patient care during the preceding 75 years. A remarkable milestone by any standard TDMH team members continue to be truly committed to providing exemplary care and service to the community we serve. This was again demonstrated through the accreditation process when TDMH received. a three-year accreditation, the highest award possible, from the Canadian Council on Health Facilities Accreditation. The theme "Aiming for #1 in 2001" appropriately captures the team spirit and collective energy of our team members that enabled us to once again achieve success. A celebration of the present! , ,:. ï\ To gain perspective it is often helpful to step back from the day to day activities that usually seem to be all consuming. TDMH did this in the fall of2001 and underwent a detailed strategic planning process to ensure that we were strategically positioned for the future to deal with the changing environment. The process involved an extensive environmental scanning that included consultation and input from hospital team members, the community and hospital partners. The data gathered served as a basis for a Board Retreat in November 2001. The 2002 Strategic Plan is the result of that planning process. The emphasis is on an expanded surgical program and a redeveloped ambulatory care service. Health promotion and prevention programs will be prominent in the approach to care. The requirements for accountability in all facets of healthcare and involvement with our healthcare partners become more prominent every day. Providing leadership in a number of health partnerships continues to be a priority for TDMH, whether it is the Thames Valley Hospitals' Planning Partnership, Oxford Hospitals' Alliance, or the Oxford Health Systems Planning Committee to name but a few. Innovation and progressive collective energy is the basis for improving care and accessibility to care and this is best achieved through partnerships and integration of services. /:s:\;" .... During the year, TDMH was faced with many difficult issues: recruitment and retention of qualified health professionals, the lack of adequate operating funding, rising costs and a growing elderly population. The most difficult was our inability to provide an elective obstetrical service due to the lack of 24/7 back-up coverage for caesarean sections. Unfortunately there is no easy resolution and these challenges are still in the forerront as we embark upon another year. 2002 TDMH Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees, June 2S'h Page - 11 8 TDMH Hospital Operating Statistics 2001102 Proj/Act 2000/2001 Actual Occupancy Rates 100 2 19 73 99 90 11 37 73 95 MedlSurg (34 Beds) Beds) OBS Paeds (4 Beds) ICCU {< Chron: (6 Beds) \J 15,304 8,655 23,959 14,783 8,314 23,097 6 Rehab Beds) ine!

County of Elgin 450 Sunset Drive St. Thomas, Ontario N5R 5V1 Wilson As is customary at this time of year, I am pleased to offer this brief report that describes highlights of activities at the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital over the past twelve months. Warden Dear "Vision" of becoming the best community hospital in Ontario. In 2001, the Board of Governors of STEGH adopted a new vision of becoming the best community hospital in Ontario because; · performance measurements of hospitals across Ontario are emerging in public "Report Cards". STEGH welcomes this accountability and public assessment of patient satisfaction, patient care, finances and ability to keep pace with change. becoming a benchmark in these various measurement indicators will build confidence in our abilities, attract professionals and attract additional government funding support. it challenges us to consistently research and practices. we want to p services. · o where appropriate, adopt the best its' comprehensive clinical community hospital and reserve our · · to; Re-design of the Organization To pursue this vision the Board approved a remodeling of our organizational structure · enhance accountability, driving decision making as close to the point of care or service as possible; focus on patient centered care; increase staff and physician involvement in organizational decision making; achieve better stewardship of hospital resources; promote best practice in both clinical and non-clinical areas. o · · · · We adopted a program model with Medical, Surgical and Ambulatory patient care as our core clinical programs. The number of hospital management positions were reduced in our redesign. Our Core Values Compassion Respect Accountability Simplicity o 1 Page 2 Warden John Wilson Addressing our Financial Problems A healthy financial position is an important lever in our pursuit of the best. As at March 31,2002 we had accumulated deficits of ten million dollars on a fifty million dollar annual budget. Common sense and fiscal responsibility demands that this situation be addressed in the interests of the hospital as a whole. o The Board took important steps in the 2002-2003 operating plan to this end. One measure taken in particular, the planned reduction of rehabilitation services, was met with resistance from some quarters in the community. Now, an alternative approach to achieve the savings originally identified and to preserve on-site access to these services will be undertaken through a public-private partnership. Responses to our Request For Proposal (RFP) are expected at the end of August and we intend to undertake negotiations that will lead to a smooth transfer of service by October 1, 2002. A 7.7% increase to hospital budgets across Ontario was announced by the provincial government in June. At STEGH our share was little more than a 2% increase. Hospital Redevelopment Since 1999, we have discussed with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care the recommended redevelopment of our Emergency area and initiation of dedicated Ambulatory Care space. Our Foundation Board formed a fund-raising or "campaign" cabinet in anticipation of approval by the Minister of Health to proceed with the project. While a formal campaign kick-off awaited Ministry approval, members of the cabinet were invited to speak with groups and agencies, including Elgin County Council who were formulating budget plans, to share the Hospitals anticipated project and expected costs. o Late in 2001 approval was not forthcoming and it became clear that the project would need to be considered within the broader context of infrastructure and development needs of the hospital in a process referred to by the Ministry as a "Master Plan". Consulting planners, architects and engineers have worked with hospital staff and physicians on this planning process. The plan will be presented to the Board in late August and it will show stages of development that will be required as we move forward into the future. local Although Emergency/Ambulatory Care is included in the plan an Operating Room redevelopment has also emerged as a critical need. In addition, with the planned closure of the Regional Mental Health St. Thomas facility, the Ministry as expected has requested that STEGH plan for 15 Mental Health beds and related services to meet community needs.(Please note, hospitals are notexpected to fund-raise for Menta/ Health building projects) The fund-raising target for this redevelopment will be ambitious and the case for support will be well articulated. However, the Ministry of Health has made it clear across the province that evidence of the feasibility of community funding support (50%) must be provided first, or the project will not move to the next step in the approval process. A feasibility study will be undertaken in early September. 1 Page 3 Warden John Wilson Recruiting Professionals Recruiting doctors continues to be a challenge for hospitals across Ontario and Canada Dr. Don Lawrence in his role as VP Medical has physician recruitment high on his agenda and backstops the hospitals commitment to maintain an adequate physician human resource plan. Prospective specialist and family physicians are regularly visiting the hospital and the community in an effort to familiarize them with what we have to offer. We have particular needs in Radiology and Internal Medicine among others. Competition amongst communities for scarce physician resources is fierce. The Elgin Physician Recruitment Partnership (EPRP) is a coalition of community and hospital leaders that has been helpful in the past. We intend to request that it reconvene to continue to provide support. o Of course nurse recruitment is also high on the agenda of Ontario hospitals and STEGH is no exception. We continue to engage our nursing staff through a nursing recruitment and retention team to garner their ideas about how we become a more attractive employer.

Thomas, Ontario N5R 5V1 Mark McDonald ATTENTION: Mr, Dear Sir: tion eneralln RE: Furtherto our recent discussions, I have had an opportunity to consider your inquiry regarding the applicability of alternative highway assumption mechanisms pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Act, on one hand, and the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act, on the other hand. Prior to addressing relevant legal merits, I confirm my understanding that the County of Elgin intends to assume stretches of highways within the territorial limits of, among other places, the Town of Aylmer, as part of an established County Road System - to do so, it is proposed that the comprehensive by-law establishing the County Road System, originally enacted pursua~t to the Public Trans,portation and Highway Improvement Act, will be amended to designate the involved portions of highways as part of such system and pursuant to the amendment procedure set forth in that legislation. As against the foregoing background, I am aware that your inquiry relates to the entitlement of the County of Elgin to rely upon the mechanism for the establishment of the County Road System pursuanttothe PublicTral1sportation and Highway Improvement Act, including the amendment thereof, as opposed to the assumption procedures under the Municipal Act - in the above regard, it is recoglnized that the former procedure does not Thomas, Ontario N5P 1Y8 - Telephone (519) 633-3310 - Facsimile (519) 633-9374 E-mail: sgibson@on.aibn.com St. 99 Edward Street, £0 . ¿¡ l\:lJ.Ol require the consent of the lower tier municipality while the former procedure would require such assent. In my opinion, where the County has already established a "County Road System" pursuant to the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act, and simply seeks to amend the establishing by-law to include another stretch of highway, it will be within its rights to do so without the requirement of the assent of the lower tier municipality as required under the Municipal Act. In this re¡¡ard, it should be noted that the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act 'contemplates amendment to the County Road System through addition of other highways, being the procedure which the County now seeks to undertake. Consequently, the Council of the Corporation of the County of Elgin would appear to be entitled to proceed with assumption without the necessity of the assent of the involved lower tier municipality, It should be noted that, had the County of Elgin not previously established a County Road System pursuant to the Public Transportiation and Highway Improvement Act, my opinion would, most likely, have been the opposite. In the absence of prior establishment of a County Road Network, the County of Elgin would be forced to proceed with assumption only pursuantto the mechanism estalblished by the Municipal Act, requiring the assent of the lower tier municipality, I trust the foregoing is sufficient for your current purposes.

Discussion The wood parquet sub flooring in the wetted area would not return to its original shape and the carpet and parquet was removed in order to view the extent of the problem. The removed carpet is 17 years old and cannot be reused and a new carpet will not match the remaining carpet in the room because of its age There are many ways to solve this flooring issue. A few potential solutions are as follows Remove all carpet, reinstall any wood parquet sub-floor in areas that has de-bonded and reinstall new carpet in entire council chambers. Remove part of carpet in council chambers, from the staff desks back to main hallway, replace de-bonded sub-flooring with new parquet and refinish remaining wood parquet. Replace carpet and de-bonded sub-floor in area from staff desks back to main hallway. 1 2 create a uniform and wi that the only option is 3 Option #1 is the most costly solution, however, it matching floor surface throughout the room Option #2 and #3 include replacement of flooring material in the highest traffic and worn areas (from the staff desks back to the main hallway). Option #3 may pose problems when matching the new carpet colour to the existing one. The insurance adjusters have been notified and reviewed the area because all sOlutions wi cost more than our insurance deductible. Staff and our insurance adjusters are now seeking council's direction 2 S' ., 1 Page 2 REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: CLAYTON WATTERS, MANAGER ENGINEERING SERVICES DATE: AUGUST 27,2002 SUBJECT: COUNCIL CHAMBER FLOOR Conclusion Given the three options a decision is required in order for staff to proceed. Option #1, "remove all carpet, re-install any wood parquet sub-floor in areas that has de-bonded and reinstall new carpet in entire council chambers" is the best long-term solution for the council chambers Recommendation That the remaining carpet in Council Chambers be removed, reinstall any wood parquet sub- floor in area that has de-bonded and install a new carpet in the entire council chambers: and also, the Insurance adjusters to That this Information be forwarded RESPECTFULL Y SUBMITTED wM Mark Chief Administrative Officer 6 1 Clayton atters, Manager Engineering Services REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL CLAYTON WATTERS, MANAGER OF ENGINEERING SERVICES SEPTEMBER 3, 2002 COUNTY ROAD #73 CAPITAL RESERVE - HOUSEKEEPING AMENDMENT FROM DATE: SUBJECT: Introduction Due to the recently approved transfer of roads to the County of Elgin, John Street, in the Town of Aylmer, has become part of the County's road network. Therefore, the pre-existing capital reserve for this section of road should be collapsed and the funds should be carried over to the unallocated reserve, as per County policy. Discussion / Conclusion In a report to County Council dated January 29, 1999 (attached for your information), County Council established a reserve for County Road #73 in the amount of $300,000 to be dedicated to improvements conducted on the roadway within the Town of Aylmer limits Now that the County of Elgin is responsible for John Street through Aylmer, this reserve is no longer required as improvements made to any County Road will be made in order of need and as directed by County Council. capita funds in this reserve account will be transferred to the unallocated Approximately $170,000.00 resides within this existing reserve.

McDonald, Chief Administrative Officer. FROM: 1999 January 29th DA TE: SUBJECT: URBAN REBA TES ntroduction 1999 Meeting "THAT County Council request the Engineering Department to prepare a report focusing on the establishment of an urban road rebate program; and further, following motion was approved by Council at its January 25th The THAT such a program take into consideration, but not be limited to, a rebate program of approximately 2.5% of the annual County Roads Budget or approximately $140,000.00 based on the 1998 Road Budget; and further, 1999 County budget consideration with the for report be prepared this THAT Carried One of the main reasons for the motion relates to the relative disparity between the Town of Aylmer's contribution to the County's Road Budget and the amount of direct benefit received for that contribution. Specifically, Aylmer contributes more than 12% of the County's total Budget, but has less than 2 km of County Roads. One way to address this apparent inequity is to re- instate a funding program, similar to the former Urban Rebate Program Discussion As you are aware the Urban Rebate Program was discontinued through an amendment to the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act in 1995. Funding for municipal roads has also changed, whereby conditional grants have disappeared and now Council has complete discretion as to how to spend Provincial Transfers. Staff believe that re-establishing the Urban Rebate Program is not the best way to address funding inequities in roads. First of all, the reconstituted program would not apply to Southwold because it never had an Urban Rebate and would not qualify for one now. This would create a new inequity affecting Southwold. Secondly, funding for roads, it can be argued, comes directly from the Province of Ontario, through the Community Reinvestment Fund and not directly from local coffers - Council has chosen as a policy decision to apply most of the CRF directly to the County's road program. An Urban Rebate is akin to establishing a "conditional" grant, one that is tied to a specific purpose and by definition restricts Council's ability to redirect funds where necessary 8 1 2 In keeping with the Motion approved by Council, if an Urban Rebate system was re-established in 1999, it would amount to a total of approximately $140,000.00 which would be divided and shared by six local municipalities, based on a formula. Suqqestion: Having regard to the concerns raised above, Council may wish to address Aylmer's road inequity by setting aside a reserve for road improvements involving County Road #73 near the Town's limits. The Town of Aylmer has requested that consideration be given to the County making certain and specific drainage improvements to a section of that road. Curb and gutter and storm drainage improvements are being recommended. The Manager of Engineering Services has reviewed the request and concluded that it is consistent with the County's Construction Policy. In other words, the request is reasonable and appropriate. The estimated costs of the improvements are approximately $65,000.00 per year for a five-year term. Staff recommend that a reserve for this purpose be established in 1999 using some of the County's 1998 surplus. This would result in no increase to the 1999 County levy and would conclude at a defined date. Conclusion Staff believe the suggestion mentioned above would address the roads inequity and can be accQmplished without negatively impacting the County's Budget Moreover, the work under consideration would have to be done at some point in time anyway, in keeping with our road construction program of total amount limits: and Recommendation That a reserve for County Road #73 improvements be established in the $300.000.00 to be dedicated to work conducted in the Town of Aylmer's physica administration funds to senior and, to release the work comple:ted That the Manager of Engineering Services be authorized at the Town of Aylmer, based on actual receipts for subject to the project, related to work That the Town of Aylmer be responsible to coordinate al approval of the County's Manager of Engineering Services respectfully submitted which is ALL of Mark G.

Tenders were advertised as per the County purchasing policy and the following prices were received $ 923,265.55 $ 1,042,978.71 $ 1,110,430.89 . . ~ ~ Facca Construction Incorporated McLean Taylor Construction Limited L. J. Looby Contracting Limited The County's consulting engineer, Spriet Associates, has submitted a price of $71 ,690 plus G.S.T complete engineering services for both the Vienna South and Vienna North Bridges under the assumption that both bridges would be tendered as a joint project and that only traditional bridge deck rehabilitation's would be completed. to Once existing conditions were studied it was decided by all parties to proceed with entire deck replacements rather than removing and replacing deteriorated materials in an attempt to prolong the bridge's life because of the potential risk of uncovering too many unknowns. Also, the OSTAR program rejected the County's proposal to combine the work on both bridges as one project, therefore, two separate contracts will have to be prepared, administered and inspected, all of which increases project costs. This new deck replacement approach significantly changed the scope of work that Spriet Associates originally submitted a price for. Spriet Associates have submitted a new price to complete the work on the Vienna South Bridge and Vienna North Bridge as planned for 2004 (to be prepared for Round 2 of OSTAR). The revised total cost for engineering, inspection and contract administration for the Vienna South Bridge is $97,900 plus G.S.T representing 10.6% of the construction cost. Because the Vienna North Bridge has a similar design and some of the design work is transferable, Spriet has submitted a price of $77, 100 plus G.S,T, to design, administer and inspect that project as proposed for 2004 (or 7.7% of a total estimated project cost of $1 Million Dollars). Staff believes that these prices represent a fair value when compared to the size and complexity of the project. In comparison, the cost of engineering, administration and inspection for the Kingsmill Bridge replacement completed in 1999 was 12.6% of the total project cost. of2 Page 22 Reports\2002\Vienna Bridge South Tender Results.doc \\CTY]S_1 \SYS\USERS\DEPT\ROADS\Counci REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL PETER DUTCHAK, TECHNICAL SERVICES OFFICER ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT AUGUST 22, 2002 VIENNA BRIDGE SOUTH TENDER RESULTS FROM DATE: SUBJECT: Conclusion The Vienna South Bridge will receive a deck replacement in the coming months.

(Elgin Construction) Only a few differences appear in today's intersection reconstruction project as compared to the project tendered in the year 2000. For example, our electrical design engineer suggested that it would be most beneficial to install a new traffic signal controller rather than using the existing one as proposed in the 2000 tender. As part of the 2002 Capital Projects Budget, staff has allocated only $275,000.00 towards this project. This figure was derived by assuming a 15% increase in cost from the previously received lowest tender for this work. Once all construction and design costs are realized the Sunset Road and John Wise Line wi cost approximately $440,000.00 and represent a budget shortfall of intersection reconstruction approximately $165,000.00. 24 of2 Reports\2002\Sunset Road and John Wise Line Intersection Reconstruction Tender Page IICTY]S_l\SYS\USERS\DEPlìROADS\Counci Results.doc REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL PETER DUTCHAK, TECHNICAL SERVICES OFFICER ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT FROM AUGUST 22, 2002 SUNSET DRIVE AND JOHN WISE LINE INTERSECTION RECONSTRUCTION TENDER RESULTS DATE: SUBJECT: Conclusion The Sunset Road / John Wise Line Intersection Reconstruction project has been tendered and the lowest price received has exceeded the budget allocation by almost $165,000.00.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL Director of Financial Services Linda B. Veger, FROM 2002 - Homes Projects 29 August SUBJECT: Bank Account DATE: INTRODUCTION On July 26, 1994 Council authorized the Director of Homes for Seniors Services and the Director of Financial Services to set up separate bank accounts for the Bobier Villa and the Elgin Manor Rebuild project donations DISCUSSION Since 1994 several transfers into operations have been made from the Bobier Villa account, however a balance remains. The project is complete and has been paid for in full. No donations have been received since January 2000. The Elgin Manor Rebuild donations since 1994 have been tracked in the bank account and the balance is currently $4,151. The rebuild project is paid out of the operating account. A more efficient method of tracking donations can be devised without a separate bank account and having that information available to interested parties. CONC_LUSION Since the Bobier Villa project is complete, it may be appropriate to now close the account and transfer the balance to the operating bank account. The donations for the Elgin Manor rebuild can be tracked separately and that account also closed.

THAT 30 ission - - Mark G. Id Chief Administrative Officer 31 Respectfully Submitted ~~~ Linda B. Vege~ Director of Financial Services REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL Linda B. Veger FROM Financing 29 August 2002 Rebuild Elgin Manor DATE SUBJECT: NTRODUCTION The Elgin Manor rebuild project is well underway. The County has utilized most of its available cash reserves, without jeopardizing operations, on the project. It is now time to put our financing in place for the balance of the rebuild. financing plan has been a suitable Montrea DISCUSSION In consultation with the Bank of developed for your consideration Assumptions Amount to be borrowed $8M Financing available each year $1.176M Financing from: Annual budget $836,000 Operating per diem (Province) $340,000 Interest Rates: 1 year 4.15% 2 years 5.10% 3 years 5.53% 4 years 5.79% Repayment period Approximately 8:y. years Type of Loan Term with staggered maturity dates The interest rates are current and will most likely be different once borrowing begins. The total $8M will be borrowed in amounts of $2M each with staggered maturity dates. These staggered maturity dates give the County flexibility in paying-down a loan at maturity and as funds become available. The term loans will continue to have staggered maturity dates until paid in full. The initial loans will be: · $2M- · $2M- · $2M- 1 year 2 years 3 years term term term 32 $2M term - 4 years future renewals will be for three-year terms · AI Our bank financing is kept at a minimum by borrowing approximately $2.5M from cash reserves. The interest saving using this method is about 2% (the difference between interest earned on cash balances and the interest charged on loans). Over the course of 8 % years this equates to a savings of $437,500. cost the County: Borrowing through term loans with staggered maturity dates wi · Interest $2,274,807 · Principal $8,000,000 · Total $10,274,807 This compares to a mortgage at a current rate of 7.2% · Interest $2.96M · Term 9 % years Borrowing through term loans versus a conventional mortgage allows the County to manage the debt aggressively. The County will not be tied into a ten year mortgage (and ten year interest rate) and most debt will be paid down within the first five years. The County will also avoid fees associated with a mortgage such as appraisal, legal, and registration. In the above comparison, there is close to a 30% saving in interest cost. The County's annual financing budget is $1,011,932. Annual payments from this budget towards the project are $836,000 leaving $175,932 annually to pay down the Health Unit building (current balance $1.927M). The $340,000 from the Province continues for eleven years after the rebuild is paid in full. These dollars will be available for future projects. Taking advantage of lower interest rateS and staggered maturity's allows the County flexibility should another major project present itself prior to paying down the rebuild. Within five years a major portion of the loans would be paid. The annual payments on the outstanding term loans could be stretched out and additional financing obtained from the bank. The current annual financing budget could support additional loans without an increase to taxpayers CONCLUSION It is probable that interest rates will change prior to borrowing. However, the differential between the term loans and the mortgage will remain. Taking advantage of the reduced rates in the short term allows more principal to be paid down in the early years thereby saving interest over the long term. 33 RECOMMENDATION to provide THAT the County enter into an agreement with the Bank of Montrea financing for the rebuild of Elgin Manor at an upset limit of $8M; and required agreements to sign the the Warden and CAG be authorized THAT 34 Services Respectfully Submitted ~~~ Director of Financial REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL Linda B.

Notte Director of Homes and Seniors Services úThNvit'lÇ Clayton Watters Manager, Engineering Services REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL Helen L. Notte, Director of Homes and Seniors Services FROM 30 August 2002 Railing at Bobier Villa DATE: SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION The Director of Homes recently learned that a commitment exists with the Bobier family about the original wrought iron railing from the former Bobier Convalescent Home. Consultation with the family has occurred. The project is now ready to proceed. This report is presented for Council's information and approval. DISCUSSION A commitment exists that the original wrought iron railing and posts from the former Bobier Convalescent Home would be permanently installed at Bobier Villa. Messieurs Earl and Carl Bobier and their wives, Betty and Teresa, have been consulted on this matter. Councillor Van Brenk gave generously of his time to participate in discussions with staff and the Bobier family. The railing was temporarily installed at the location of the Bobier's choice; their feedback was very positive. A commemorative plaque will be affixed in a prominent location on a front pillar at the main entrance to the Home. The Bobiers have agreed to participate in a photo session with Council representatives; the unveiling and the historical significance will be feé! tured in the media. The former Homes Director, Mrs. Fleck, has been invifød to participate in this event in recognition of the commitment and rel<!tionship that she and the Bobiers enjoyed. The attached photograph profiles the intended placement of the railing at the front entrance. As part of the project, staff recommends that an in-ground lawn sprinkler system also be installed. The overall effect of the lush green grass and gardens, coupled with the refurbished black railing and posts, will form an exquisite main entranceway into the Villa. 1 Installation of the sprinkler system and the railing is estimated to be $40,000.00. Staff recommends that the costs be allocated from the 2001/02 surplus funds. Council's approval today means that the project can begin immediately; the anticipated completion date will be 'no later than October 1, 2002. 43 CONCLUSION: A commitment exists that the original wrought iron railing and posts from the former Bobier Convalescent Home will be permanently installed at Bobier Villa. The Bobier family have been consulted. The project will include the permanent installation of the railing and posts as well as the installation of an in-ground lawn sprinkler system. Estimated project costs total $40,000.00. Staff recommends that the project costs be allocated from the 2001/02 surplus funds. Successful completion of this project holds important and proud significance for the Bobier family, our Residents who formerly lived at the Bobier Convalescent Home, our staff who formerly worked at that Home, and for our Council and staff representatives who guided the transition into our present day Bobier Villa. This project is an opportunity to bring closure to a commitment made while, at the same time, celebrating the richness of a proud history between the Bobier family and this County Council. RECOMMENDATIONS: THAT the Director of Homes and Seniors Services be authorized to proceed with the permanent installation of wrought iron railing and posts and an in-ground lawn sprinkler system at the front entrance to Bobier Villa, at an estimated cost of $40,000.00, to be allocated from the 2001/02 surplus funds; THAT the Director of Homes and Seniors Services and the Warden be authorized to plan a celebration in tribute to the Bobier family, the costs of which will be absorbed within the Homes approved 2002 operating budget.

This report informs members of Council that final expenditures for this project are slightly over-budget. DISCUSSION In January 2001, Council approved the sum of $45,000 for the publication of a Sesquicentennial atlas. This atlas was published in April 2002 as Tremaine's Map of the County of E/gin, 1864: Commemorative Edition in Celebration of the Sesquicentennial of the County of Elgin, 1852-2002. Expenditures for this project are now finalized and total $50,181 A variety of factors led to this slight deficit in the budget, most importantly the need to cover costs incurred from the original atlas project (i.e. before its focus was changed to the current publication). Off-setting these costs, approximately 100 copies of the atlas have been sold (resulting in revenue of approximately $6100) and approximately 20 copies have been distributed as gifts. Additional sales continue on a steady basis. with $45,000 CQNCLUSION Final expenditures for the Sesquicentennial atlas are slightly over-budget, initially approved and $50,181 expended. RECOMMENDATION report be received as mformation this THAT ission Chief fully Submitted Cathy B op Manager of Library Services REPORT TO MANAGEMENT TEAM Sandra Heffren, Deputy Clerk FROM 2002 Ontarians with Disabilities Act 23 August DATE: SUBJECT: NTRODUCTION The Province of Ontario enacted the Ontarians with Disabilities Act in December 2001. The purpose of the Act is "to improve opportunities for persons with disabilities and to provide for their involvement in the identification, removal and prevention of barriers to their full participation in the life of the province". The Act requires that Municipalities with a population over 1 0,000 establish an Accessibility Advisory Committee and prepare a Municipal Accessibility Plan. Also, every municipality, regardless of its population, shall consult with people with disabilities on accessibility issues and prepare a Municipal Accessibility Plan. AI plans are to be reviewed annually and made available to the public. DISCUSSION The County must establish an advisory committee with more than half of the members being persons with disabilities, and staff support to carry out advisement, administrative, and secretarial functions. The Province has proclaimed September 30,2002 for the advisory committee to be established and the accessibility plan to be finalized by September 30th 2003. Staff expects that the committee would meet monthly until the plan is established and then annually for review and¢omment. The mandate of the committee is to identify accessibility barriers to municipally-owned buildings, to new construction or significant renovations of municipal buildings, to potential municipal purchases or leases of buildings, as well as human resources issues. The committee would then assist with creating a Municipal Accessibility Plan to address the identification, removal, and prevention of barriers to persons with disabilities in municipal by- laws, its policies, programs, practices, and services. FINANCIAL IMPACT The following potential costs have been identified Staff resources related to establishment and operation of the Committee Advertising costs associated with recruiting the Committee Implementation of any recommendations made by the Committee Specialized communication devices and interpreters at meetings Travel costs for Committee members such as mileage, specialized transportation and support care (at the discretion of Council) Per diem cOsts for Committee members (at the discretion of Council) · · · · · · 45 2 CONCLUSION In accordance with the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, the County is required to establish an Accessibility Advisory Committee to create, in consultation with the County, an Accessibility Plan. The following options are presented for Council's consideration Option #1 The membership of the committee could be determined through recruitment in the local papers, holding of interviews by staff, and recommendations being made to Council. The number would be determined by Council. Option #2 Each lower-tier Council could be requested to recommend the name of a person with a disability from the local area to sit on the Committee.

Peterborough, ON K9H 3R9 Weathering the Storm! 2002 19 AlJG August 15, 2002 Chief Administrative Officer: On June 11 & 12 Peterborough residents experienced a record breaking rainfall. As a result, on June 28, 2002 Chris Hodgson, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, declared the City of Peterborough a "Disaster Area" for the purposes of the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program. This tragic natural disaster has left many residents without the necessary resources to cover their unfortunate losses Dear Your financial support will be instrumental in attracting Provincial financial assistance. For every dollar raised the province will contribute up to $2.00, and up to 90% of all approved claims. A volunteer committee has been approved by City Council who will spearhead the fundraising effort. It will also be responsible for appraising losses and settling claims in accordance with the terms of the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program The "Peterborough Flood Relief Committee" has set a tentative fundraising target of $300,000. This target is based on 300 claims for an average of $3500 each. If all these projections work out, about $900,000 worth of assistance will be provided to homeowners, tenants and small businesses. A tremendous community response will be needed to fully compensate our less fortunate neighbours who suffered losses. We are reminded of the assistance provided to eastern Ontario during the ice storm a couple of years ago. We would appreciate your assistance by making a donation to the Peterborough Flood Relief Committee fundraising campaign. Donations can be made by cheque to the Peterborough Flood Relief Committee, c/o 500 George S!. N. Peterborough, ON K9H 3R9.

Instead, only those roads planned, as going to the County will take place. In the end, the County road system will be enlarged as will the County Road budget."

This was the fourth year for the event and it was held on July 10, 2002 in Pinafore Park. We had a great crowd, weather and entertainment A motion was passed at our August 20, 2002 wrap up meeting that indicated the future direction of the event. The Picnic Committee recommended that a similar picnic event be planned for 2002 as long as there was financial support from the County of Elgin and City of St. Thomas. A planning committee was identified and will meet in January 2003 to begin planning the event. The committee is requesting $2,500 from the County for the 2003 event. Please consider supporting this event in your budget planning for next year. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to have a presentation made to council. of your support. Once again, thank you for all Sincerely, ~t/U Ken Verrell Chairperson Seniors Picnic Committee - 2002 60 DRAFT Office Of The Warden September 5, 2002 The Honourable Norm Sterling Minister of Transportation Sterling: Minister Dear Provincial Detours and Deteriorating Local Roads I am sure you will recall, Mr. Minister, that I introduced myself to you at the recently held AMO Conference in Toronto. I approached you immediately following the "bear-pit" session to discuss the negative affects of detouring vehicles off of provincial highways to local road networks. You listened briefly, pardoned yourself for a bathroom break and failed to return. You may recall that Pat Vanini, Executive Director of AMO, was also present. We searched the hall for you, but you were no where to be found. A colleague of mine later told me that he saw you outside an entrance at the Royal York. Obviously, you had little intention of discussing this matter with me. Subject: Mr. Minister, the County of Elgin has asked to meet with you on previous occasions, only to be denied the opportunity. We have written to you describing the circumstances in the area, which I might add, are not peculiar to this end of the province. Yet, you fail to recognize the provincial government's interest in this maUer. We have options. We have the right to legislate weight restrictions on our detour routes. This would prevent large haulers from vacating provincial highways. That would negatively affect commerce and inconvenience others. Our preferred option, however, is to meet with you to work out a funding formula to develop an infrastructure to meet the demands of high volume detours. This remains our priority course of action, Of course, it will involve your co-operation and more importantly your presence at a meeting. We look forward to hearing from you, especially in light of your government's expressed mantra of open dialogue and co-operation with its municipal partners. Yours truly, John R.

In response, the MOE has made a regulatory amendment to oxlond this deadline to July 1, 2003, a 6-month extension. In ordør 10 ensure that this extension applies to your water system, you must update your water system's cj~rtifjcr.tte of approval.

Some of those include municipally-owned facilities that deliver provincial programs. NellhQr domiciliary hospit¡¡ls nor on-reserve facililies are included. All designated facilities must be in c,)mpliance with Reg. 505 by the end of this year. The Millislry of Community, Family and Children'~,.

Wilson, Elgm County Warden focusing on your Government's ill-conceived decìsion to apply a 15 per cent increase to residents oflong-term care facilities. It is an issue you are well acquainted with and one that deserves your immediate consideration. Minister, despite a recent announcement that your Government will delay this increase until September 0 I 2002, spreading the hike over a three year period, this continues to be an unacceptable cost of living increase placed squarely on the backs of Ontarians who are in most need. Furthermore 15 per cent remains 15 per cent, regardless of whether it's paid in one, two or three years. It still remains well above the 3.8 per cent maximum allowable under rent control guidelines set by this Tory Administration. Minister, most seniors live on fixed incomes and consequently do not have much - if any - disposable income beyond that required for the necessities of day to day living expenses. A $3.02 per diem hike this year and $2 in each of the next two years is clearly a burden for these residents. to In addition, your Government's contention that it will spend $1 OO-million for nursing and personal care services to long-term care facilities is misleading, as only $7-million qualifies as new money. Of that total $38-million has been re-announced from the 2002-2003 budget, with $55-million coming from seniors forced to ante up the $3.02 per diem increase. What in fact is needed is an infusion of about $650-million $750-million of new money just to brìng Ontario levels up to those enjoyed by Saskatchewan. Minister, I urge you to review and respond to the letter from Mr. Wilson, consider the thousands of signatures already affixed to petitions opposing this increase and forward a copy of your correspondence to my office. Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration. Sincerely, ~~ Steve Peters, M.P.P.

Dear As you are aware, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), an arms length agency of my Ministry is responsible for administering the lottery licensing program in the Province. This includes the responsibility for ensuring that the provisions of the Crimina/ Code of Canada and the Order-In-Council 2688/93 are met. In accordance with the regulatory framework, only charitable or religious organization may obtain a lottery licence providing the proceeds raised are used for their charitable or religious objects and purposes. The regulatory framework for charitable gaming requires that only those organizations that are considered charitable may hold lottery licenses and that the proceeds raised must be used solely to support charitable activities. The Commission considers common law and other relevant factors to determine whether an organization is eligible for a lottery license, and for what an eligible organization may use its lottery proceed Charitable gaming in Ontario is a 2.0 billion dollar a year industry. There are thousands of charitable organizations conducting lottery events that raise millions of dollars for charitable projects. Given the number of gaming events being conducted and the amount of funds being raised, it is necessary to have effective controls and to monitor events to ensure that the funds raised are directed to the intended charitable purposes /2 70 Canadian case law has long held that governments are not considered eligible for lottery licenses. Any organization that is largely funded, or controlled by a government federally, provincially or municipally, is not considered charitable for the purposes of lottery licensing. The Ontario Lottery Corporation, through the Trillium Foundation, makes 100 million dollars from their gaming initiatives available each year to eligible organizations. You may wish to contact them for further information as to whether the Municipality may qualify for this funding. They can be contacted at 1-800-263-2887. wishes my best n closing, please accept Tim Hudak Minister 1 7 Steve Peters, MPP Elgin-Middlesex-London c: ST. THOMAS REACT INC.

I am pleased to reply. Dear Under the Education Act, decisions regarding pupil accommodation are the responsibility of the school board. It would therefore be inappropriate for me, as Minister of Education, to intervene in the administration process of your local school board. This ministry is working with school boards to ensure that boards have adequate systems and procedures in place to respond to many local variables in their planning and decision-making. Long-term plans prepared by boards as part of the Accountability Framework for Pupil Accommodation identify issues boards expect to face over the next several years. I am confident that these plans will help school boards make informed decisions about the best long-term accommodation solutions, and ensure an effective learning environment for students across the province. School boards retain flexibility in the allocation of resources because they are in the best position to identify local needs when setting budgetary priorities. It is therefore appropriate for you to share your concerns with your local school board trustees elected by, and accountable to, the communities that they serve. who are ./2 72 73 2 Thank you again for writing.

Heffren Deputy Clerk County of Elgin 450 Sunset Drive St. Thomas ON N5R 5V1 Heffren Thank you for your letter, forwarded by the Honourable David Young, Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Native Affairs, advising me of the resolution passed by council regarding the need for tougher laws to combat youth crime. I am pleased to respond and apologize for the delay. Mrs Dear can assure you that our government understands the importance of safe communities and schools, and has taken measures to ensure that Ontario is safe for all its citizens The Safe Schools Act, implemented in September 2000, is intended to ensure that Ontario's schools are safer and encourage an atmosphere that is more respectful and more conducive to learning. Along with the Code of Conduct, which sets out clear standards of behaviour, this legislation will make our schools safer for teachers and students and help to increase respect, responsibility and civility in Ontario schools. The Code of Conduct sets out clear expectations for behaviour and clear consequences for students who commit serious infractions Our government has also continued to lobby the federal government to make meaningful changes to its young offender legislation. For almost 20 years, the federal government has failed to provide effective young offender legislation - first with the Young Offenders Act (YOA) and now with its proposed replacement, the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). ./2 74 Heffren Mrs. Sandra J Page two Ontario believes that the federal government's YCJA fails to protect the public and hold young offenders accountable for violent acts. Written in legislative language, Ontario's No More Free Ride for Young Offenders Act offered more than 100 serious and constructive amendments to the YCJA. Unfortunately, Ontario's amendments were ignored and the YCJA will be proclaimed by the federal government next spring. I can assure you that our government will continue to fight to ensure that Ontario's communities are protected from dangerous young offenders. Last fall, a $2-million Youth Crime and Violence Initiative was announced by the former Solicitor General, the Honourable David Turnbull. In fact, since 1997 our government has contributed to approximately 64 youth crime prevention programs across the province. The Youth Crime and Violence Initiative provides funds to police services and community groups to support their fight against youth crime and to deal with high-risk youth. The funding focuses on two areas: Enforcement Grants - provided to police services to support enforcement initiatives that reflect strict discipline approaches to youth crime and street gang law enforcement. It includes support for the purchase of specialized surveillance and operational equipment, such as surveillance kits, digital cameras and database software. . Prevention Grants - provided to support police and community agency partnerships aimed at reducing first-time or repeat offences by youth to support youth crime prevention programs that promote respect and responsibility. These programs will target community, family and school- based risk factors and incorporate police involvement in early intervention strategies for at-risk youth, with a special emphasis on children under 12 years of age. ./3 75 . Heffren Mrs. Sandra J Page three Public safety is, and will remain, our top priority. Our government is committed to working with municipalities and local police in the fight against crime.

As a result, we have made a number of changes that have affected both resident and non-resident anglers and commercial bait operators. Many of these changes address the points raised by the Town of Minto. The ministry has increased licence fees for the harvest and sale of bait to facilitate a partnership with the Bait Association of Ontario (BAa) and to better manage the bait resource. Businesses engaged in the collection and sale of bait are required to have a valid bait harvester and/or dealer licence issued by MNR. Personal harvest limits for resident anglers have been reduced to 120 bait-fish from a previous maximum of 18 kilograms and personal limits on frogs and leeches are now in effect. Commercial bait operators now have more reporting requirements, a ban on the sale of salted bait, and an added requirement to be licensed to sell northern leopard frogs and leeches. All licensed bait harvesters have conditions on their licence that relate to the areas they can fish, as well as other conservation measures, to ensure a sustainable resource Since entering into a partnership with the BAa, the ministry has increased its enforcement efforts relating to the commercial bait program. This increased enforcement effort was supported by the BAa and remains a high priority. over harvest of bait from area representatives from the BAa to I encourage any municipality that feels there may be an streams to contact the local MNR office and the regional investigate any potential problems Hon.

Tile loans continue to be available with an interest rate of 8 per cent for a ten-year term. The maximum amount available to an individual farmer in one year remains at $20,000, I have asked staff to examine the program interest rate and loan limit and to report back to me with options for 200312004.

It is my belief that there has been a great deal of misinformation regarding the situatIon and circumstances of so-called, "two-hatters". They have often been referred to as "volunteers". yet are essentially full-time fire fighters who respond in the capacity of "paid on call" fire fighters within their own communities. Fire fighting is both an essential and dangerous occupation; a labour intensive and exhaustive exercise. Full time fire fighters work both'day and night shifts which allow for a 24 hour, 7 day a week committed response. It is critical for fire fighters to be able to respond and act as a team for success in emergency situations. Should a full time lìre fighter be providing their service in a paid on call capacity, they find themselves· responding to emergencies at any given time. This can entail extensive physical and mental exhaustion. Should this fire fighter now be required to attend, subsequent to the local emergency, their full time occupation, they would find themselves at less than 100% resulting in a health and safety risk both to themselves as well as their co not to mention the citizens they are serving. leagues, 111 "two 01 to It is my belief that this is a very diverse and complex issue.

Sincerely, ç~~ Steve Peters MPP Elgin Middlesex London · Alzheimer Thomas St. Elgin July 30, 2002 Helen Notte Director of Homes and Senior Services Fax: 631-2307 Dear Helen, Thank you for speaking with me yesterday. I am very excited about our new partnership and the future opportunities it may create for Elgin County's growing elderly population. As you may already know we are living in an aging society where 364,000 Canadians over the age of 65 have Alzheimer Disease and related dementias. In Elgin County alone 1,112 people over the age of 65 have Alzheimer Disease or a related dementia. That is a staggering 9.6% of Elgin County's senior population. Sadly, this number is estimated to rise by 153% in 15 to 20 years which is why your support is so important to thousands of Elgin County residents and hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Although this special event is an initiative created by our national Society in Toronto, 100 % of the proceeds stay in the communities in which they are raised. In fact the money raised from last year's Coffee Break™ helped educate more than 3000 people in our community and enabled our staff to deliver 380 hours of one to one support to 69 individuals. The proceeds generated from events like Coffee Break™ allow our Society to continue to make a difference in the quality of life for people living with Alzheimer Disease or related dementias and their caregivers. With Terrace Lodge and Bobier Villa offering to be the centralized Coffee BreakTM host sites for their respective areas, our Society will be able to invite the whole community to take part in our awareness and fundraising initiative. Families and caregivers that were unable to attend a Coffee Break™ in the past will now have a safe environment in which they and their loved ones may enjoy entertainment, snacks and a beverage. For various reasons families and caregivers maybe reluctant to visit long term care facilities. Coffee BreakTM may then provide a non intrusive opportunity for caregivers and loved ones to visit the facilities in their area for the first time. This may help many families and individuals feel comfortable in seeking help and asking questions regarding your facility. Thank you for suggesting to coordinate these efforts through Stu Burberry. I am positive this can be a mutually beneficial opportunity for the Elgin County long term care facilities, The Alzheimer Society and the thousands of lives touched by Alzheimer Disease or related dementias. Weare open to all suggestions on how we may work together to help educate and support our community's families that live with the devastating effects of Alzheimer Disease and related dementias, Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Alzheimer Wandering Registry Caregivers can reduce dangerous wandering by offering the person a safe place for continuous movement. Exercise and other activities can also be helpful by keeping the person busy and using restless energy. Registering the individual with the Alzheimer Wandering Registry can also provide peace of mind. The national Wandering Registry was developed by Alzheimer Canada with the RCMP. The program is designed to help individuals with Alzheimer Disease return home safely following an episode of wandering. When an individual is registered, vital information about himl her is stored confidentially on a police database. Should an individual be found wandering or reported missing, the information can be accessed by police anywhere in Canada.
