The program presently is at capacity with 48 seniors who attend on a regular basis. FCHS is working in partnership with Four Counties Community Villa, a community based non-profit supportive housing complex being constructed on hospital property and linked to FCHS, to expand the facilities of the existing Seniors' Day Program. This project would see the present space expanded by approximately 1,600 square feet and would enable the program to enhance its services thereby allowing a greater number of seniors to utilize this popular and useful activity. We are requesting information on funds that may be available through your Municipality to assist with this project, thereby enhancing the services available to seniors in our area. We would very much welcome the opportunity to present to Council on how this program benefits those seniors who live in Elgin County. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, fYY)~~ ~ Michael A. Mazza Executive Director cc David DeJonge, Chair, FCHS REPORT TO Mark McDonald SUBJECT: Letter from Four Counties Hospital - Senior's Day Program, requesting support The letter dated September 14, 1999 requesting Council to consider whether any funds are available through the Municipality to assist. Currently, we are operating the Adult Day Program from Bobier Villa and the units of service projected to year end would be 200. The program does provide a opportunity for assisted bathing, social program, hot noon meal and transportation. On any regular day program operation, there would be up to 10 persons at Bobier Villa. These persons live in the communities (and surrounding areas) of Rodney, West Lorne and Dutton. We <J,ccess funding from the Ministry of Health through the Community Support Program. This funding (annual $265,000) is shared between the Day Programs operating from Terrace Lodge Bobier Villa and Valleyview. The County of Elgin does not provide additional funding to the program operation, although there may be some "in kind" type of contribution to the program that is absorbed through the normal operations. It would be appropriate to advise the Four Counties to approach the Ministry of Health to secure Community Funding, as we do to serve the residents in the West. The current focus for community funding has been Day Programs, Supportive Housing and more Oient based services. Council may wish to consider how a partnership might be formed between the Bobier Villa Day Program and Four Counties and explore the options that might be available. 2 Marilyn Fleck REPORTS OF COUNCIL AND STAFF 1999 NOVEMBER 9 (ATTACHED) Reports from Outside Boards Tere R.

Tþomas - Elgin Ontario Works Community Placements Program DATE SUBJECT BACKGROUND: As Council is aware the Elgin County Library is in a partnership with Human Resources Development Canada to deliver government information from all of our II branch libraries. Stan Mendyk, the co-ordinator/trainer of the project was approached by Simon Srebernic, the Ontario Works co-ordinator asking if the library would be able assist with the program. It has been determined that Stan could use the assistance of one person at this time to help alleviate some of his clerical duties such as computer correspondence, marketing and promotion. This person could also be of assistance to the library administrative staff if the need arises DISCUSSION The persons hours are not to be more than the recipient's benefit level, are not to exceed more than 70 hours a month and anyone approved placement is not to be more than six months.

CONCLUSION The Elgin County Library will be participating in the Ontario Works program and will evaluate the process and will report back to Council at the completion of the program 8 Council's Information For Mark McDonald Chief Administrative Officer 9 Page 2 Ontario Works Placement Program APPROVED FOR SUBMISSION ~r~ Cathy Bish Manager of Library Services REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL Linda Veger FROM 1999 October 27, DATE Liability Insurance Y2K Contingent SUBJECT: Discussion Frank Cowan presented the County of Elgin with the opportunity to purchase Y2K insurance coverage. The policy is contingent upon the County meeting certain provisions that have been met as a part of our Y2K preparedness. The premium is $10,689. Counties with their comments follows: Followed due diligence therefore unnecessary. Overpriced and how would you make a claim? Council felt it was necessary for "peace of mind". Their Consultant had met the due diligence requirements; however, there could still be an unforeseen problem that would leave the County vulnerable to litigation. No No No Yes A survey of other Lambton County Middlesex County Wellington Count}' Oxford County The Y2K Committee discussed the insurance and recommends the purchase of the coverage. Attached for your considerations are two letters from Frank Cowan Company Limited and a report from Fred Rouse, our Y2K Consultant. The Management Team believes the main benefit of the insurance is that it will cover legal fees should the County enter into a protracted legal challenge on the basis of the Y2K preparedness. Management is particularly concerned with the possible equipment failure at one of our Homes that could affect the health of a resident. Even though we have checked equipment for Y2K compliance, our litigious society could make a claim However, the chances of being sued successfully are remote. Cowan's insurance will provide "peace of mind" comfort in the unlikely circumstance of a Y2K claim. In this instance, staff recommends the cautious approach - obtaining the coverage. Recommendation THAT the County of Elgin purchase Y2K contingent liability insurance from Frank Cowan Company at $10,689 with the funds being allocated from the Mill Rate Stabilization Reserve Account. o Approved 1 Respectfully submitted L..--.<--µ Linda B.

We are pleased to announce that we have developed specific Y2K Contingent Liability Insurance for municipalities in respect to third party liability claims for bodily injury and property damage. Insurance Y2K Contin. RE: During the summer of 1998, most insurers and their advisory organizations took the position that they would not cover Y2K liability claims and because of that position, it became mandatory for us to add the "Misinterpretation of Date Exclusion" endorsement to all policies Although we were unable to prevent the addition of the exclusion to the policy, we began working with our insurers to fmd a way to provide a form of Y2K cover with reasonable rates and deductibles. At the same time. through bulletins and seminars, we encouraged you to manage the Y2K risk by taking all necessary steps to ensure that your operations are compliant. Like us, you have probably received a lot of information on insurance and Y2K and have found much of it to be confusing or ambiguous. Our goal has been to provide you with useful, easy to understand information and to create a product that clearly states what it does and doesn't do We believe that much of the Canadian public sector has taken a responsible position by committing considerable resources to resolving its Y2K problems Many municipalities have established and implemented formal Year 2000 Action Plans, including the development of formal contingency plans. Because of this, we are able to offer specific Y2K Contingent Liability Insurance which will provide you with protection against accidental and unexpected claims. To our knowledge, there is no other comparable Y2K coverage presently available in the insurance market for public entities. (519) 458-4366 Facsimile 1 458-433 (519) Telephone This cover, which is exclusively available to Cowan municipal and hospital clients is yet another example of our continued commitment to responding to your changing needs by offering you the best available insurance program and risk management advice.

Corporation of the County of Elgin Y2K Risk Assessment Definition Risk assessment is the identification of processes, which have chance, or possibility of adverse consequences. This can be prioritized on the basis of the probability of occurrence, potential impact, the Corporation's vulnerability to the risk, and immediacy of the threat. Objective Assess the risk of Y2K litigation to Elgin County in order to assist with the recommendation regarding Y2K insurance from Frank Cowan. Departmental Overview DeDartment Estimated Risk Emergency Services High Homes for the AQed High Administrative Services Medium Human Resources Medium Financial Services Low EnQineerinQ Services Low Library Services Low Emergency Services Many agencies and municipalities look to the County for direction and leadership May be matter of life or health Many interdependencies both within and outside the control of the County - Homes for the Aged May be matter of life or health Elderly are dependant on the Homes operation for their well-being Many interdependencies both within and outside the control of the Homes Administration - Administrative Services Tenants are dependent on being able to keep their businesses open or face loss of revenue Day to day routines could be done manually for a short period of time - Litigation could come from within Human Resources Employees are dependent on this department for payrol the Corporation, not only from the outside Interdependencies with outside businesses Very dependent on technology 1 5 (including Museum and IT) Accounting functions could be done manually for the short term Museums are a "soft service" IT services, though completely dependent on technology, will not directly effect any persons or businesses outside of the Corporation Financial Services Engineering Services Not directly responsible for traffic control or roads conditions/maintenance Other day to day activities could be done manually for the short term Library Services Libraries are a "soft service" Day to day activities could be done manually in the short term Summary The Y2K project is approximately 98% complete. We have in my opinion done our due diligence. Although we will be ready for the Year 2000, there are no guarantees that problems won't occur. We have developed sound emergency and business continuity plans should failures occur. We have communicated our plan and our readiness to the public and to associated agencies. In short, we are prepared. This said, however, I believe that the mandate of the Management and Council is to protect the Corporation's assets. Any litigation at all could drain many thousands of dollars from the County. I would therefore recommend that the County purchase the Y2K policy from Frank Cowan Insurance. 1 6 P~Ø2"""'Ø5 AUTH S4 KETTLE CREEK CONS REPORT TO ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL : 14 OCT-29-99 FRI From: Hugh Geurts - Elgin County Tree Commissioner Malahide 3 Cone.

EPP-CC-99-09-144 WHEREAS the National Research Council of Canada and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited are proposing to the government of Canada to construct a new Canadian Neutron Facility for materials research at the Chalk River Laboratories AND WHEREAS the existing National Research Universal (NRU) reactor is a world-class research facility for the Canadian nuclear industry (including the support of the twenty-one Candu reactors located in Canada), for private sector industrial research and research application for the training of university scholars from Canada and around the world; not operate beyond the year 2005 AND WHEREAS over 150 vendor, supply, service and subcontracting companies throughout Canada will be affected, the loss of the NRU Reactor with no replacement will have a devastating economic impact on the County of Renfrew, the Province of Ontario and Canada; will AND WHEREAS the NRU Reactor /2 44 2 AND WHEREAS the loss of the NRU Reactor, with no replacement, will mean the loss of Canada's brightest and best research scholars in the field of materials testing to other countries and the resulting loss and development in Canada, of totally new fields of science and technology that will drive Canadian industries for the next century. This loss will most definitely slow and hinder Canada's transition to a knowledge-based economy AND WHEREAS the Canadian Neutron Facility will have the cold neutron source capabilities to study delicate structures such as bio membranes, plastics, food and drugs. The advances this technology will have on health sciences, could dramatically effect the future of Canada's health care system. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Renfrew hereby strongly requests the government of Canada to proceed as expeditiously as possible with the development of the Canadian Neutron Facility at the Chalk River Laboratories of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited; municipalities upper and lower tier AND THAT this resolution be circulated to all within the Province of Ontario; of AND THAT all upper and lower tier municipalities be urged to send resolutions support to their Members of Parliament and Members of Provincial Parliament. to the above resolution would be appreciated 45 Yours truly, /h D. Vance Bedore, M.C.I.P., R.P.P. Director of Planning and Economic Development positive response s Your government' -~ (3 ~ ~ 6 The Canadian Neutron Facility, AECL and Ontario Background The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) are proposing to government a new Canadian Neutron Facility for Materials Research (CNF). The CNF wi ensure the continuation and augmentation of two critical functions now performed at Chalk River Laboratories in Ontario by the NRU research reactor, which will not operate beyond 2005: To be an essential testing facility to advance the CANDU" power reactor design, and support existing reactors, thus ensuring the Canadian nuclear industry remains competitive and that CANDU is available now and in the future to provide environmentally-sound electricity. that supports advanced materials research in Canadian To be a world-class neutron beam laboratory universities and industry. The CNF Proposal is before government as a component of AECL's ongoing comprehensive planning process. A decision is being sought by 2000 February. With a strategic investment in the CNF, the federal government can lay the foundation for a revitalized materials research infrastructure to support innovation, knowledge and productivity for Canada in the next century. Benefits for Ontario Securing the CNF is vital to ensure that AECL and the Canadian nuclear industry remains competitive and that CANDU is available now and in the future to provide environmentally-sound electricity · Ontario has the largest share of Canada's nuclear industry -- 80% of the jobs, the most nuclear sector companies, the most economic and environmental benefits, and almost all of the R&D. · Ontario is where the Canadian nuclear industry was born and today the province has almost 20,000 high-quality nuclear industry jobs (90% full-time), with 10,000 jobs in related industries directly dependent on the nuclear industry. · Nuclear jobs are high-quality, knowledge-intensive, value-added and higher-paying. They are based in engineering, design, scientific, technical and precision manufacturing companies with the highest ISO and quality certifications in order to meet stringent nuclear safety and performance standards. · Ontario has 20 of the 22 CANDUs in Canada, providing about half of the province's electricity. AECL has a key role in the ongoing safe and economic operation of OPG reactors in Ontario, and bringing back into operation the laid-up OPG reactors. · · 10,000 nuclear workers) and AECL (3,000) Contribution of the nuclear industry to Ontario's economy today is over $5 Billion per year (value of electricity generated, CANDU export business, nuclear R&D, CANDU plant equipment, nuclear fuel engineering and technical services, scientific services, etc.). Ontario's biggest nuclear employers are OPG · · AECL is an Ontario-based science, technology, engineering and marketing company with commercial revenues of about $600 Miliion. · AECL is also a Top Ten Canadian R&D company, spending over $150 Million per year in Ontario on CANDU-related R&D and product development. (AECL receives $100 Million per year in federal appropriation to help fund nuclear R&D). · Historically, Canadian nuciear R&D money, spent mainly in Ontario (about $6 Billion in federai investment up to 1998), has resulted in the world's best nuclear-R&D-dollar-to-nuclear-megawatt- generated ratio. · and AECL has 3,026 high-tech employees in Ontario, at the Chalk River site (1,795 mostly R&D) and at Sheridan Park in Mississauga (1,231 mostly reactor design, nuclear services and marketing). Securing the CNF is a major contributor to safeguarding those jobs; AECL's Ontario procurement payroll total about $400 Million annually. · A typical CANDU sale won by AECL brings about $1.2 Billion in contracts for private Ontario companies, creating or sustaining 12,800 direct person years of employment for six years in Ontario's manufacturing base, plus another 8,800 indirect and induced person years of employment. · About 150 hi-tech, Ontario CANDU equipment suppliers, engineering, design and science-based companies have received over $3 Billion in economic benefits during the 1990s from AECL's sales success in South Korea, China and Romania. · The CNF Project itself brings economic benefit to Ontario during the construction phase. Ninety per cent of the $388 million (1998$) for the Project can be sourced in Canada, largely from Ontario. · the nuclear industry in sales and income taxes. Several of AECL's Ontario suppliers are large, multi-national, hi-tech companies such as Babcock- Wilcox, CAE, CGE, Alcatel, ABB, Cameco, Sulzer-Bingham. Governments collect about $700 Million per year from · · However, the largest group of AECL's CANDU suppliers are the highly productive SMEs which apply advanced manufacturing technology. See attached Appendix I; Ontario CANDU equipment/services supplier list for AECL's China CANDU project. [75% of project purchase orders place to date] · Ontario's main CANDU small and medium engineering (SME) suppliers have their own sub-suppiier base of over 2,000 smaller Ontario SMEs, the largest job-creating and most innovative sector. · from its CANDU reactors for cancer treatment. 60 Ontario supplies 80% of the world's Cobalt · Ontario has about 70% of the world market for key medical radioisotopes used in diagnostics. Since the 1970s, by using CANDU energy technology, Ontario has saved an estimated $18 billion in foreign exchange by not importing and burning US coal. · · Ontario is the biggest beneficiary of the environmental benefits of CANDU. Its reactors are capable of avoiding about 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year by not burning coal, also preventing the release of millions of tonnes of acid and greenhouse gases every year. · tonnes of CO" 2 billion CANDU reactors, primarily in Ontario, have avoided the emission in Canada of 1 80 million tonnes of ash and 32 million tonnes of SO, over the past 25 years. · AECL's Main CANDU Suppliers (ONTARIO) [incomplete: as of May '991 - - KOCH ENGINEERING CO.

Richards President & Chief Administrative Officer FROM in OPAC Rates for the Year 2000 In my recent newsletter to municipalities, 1 indicated that the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation (OPAC) was in the process of establishing our budget for the year 2000, and that we would be providing our financial requirements to our member municipalities by November 1999. This would have allowed you adequate time to incorporate the cost for property assessment services into your year 2000 budget. 1 am pleased to announce that we are providing this information earlier, and that we have been able to maintain the amount which the Corporation requires from its members for the year 2000 at the 1999 figure of $130.0 million. No Increase SUBJECT Under the Ontario Property Assessment Corporation Act, the amount that the Corporation considers necessary to pay for its operations is apportioned to single- and upper-tier municipalities, using a formula which weights equally a municipality's total assessment and total number of properties. Although the Corporation's overall financial requirements remain the same, the exact amount required from your municipality for the year 2000 will probably change slightly up or down from that required in 1999, in proportion to changes in your municipality's total assessment and total number of properties. If you or your staff have any questions about OP AC's budget or the funding formula, please fe~g~tor of Finance, Dick Vreugdenhil, at (905) 837-6166. ~t; A.

Hepburn Block, 10th Floor Toronto ON M7 A 2C4 Witmer: Dear Minister Re: Ontario Tobacco Strate At a recent meeting of the Association of Local Public Health Agencies (ALPHA), direction to the Association was given by its membership to promote the full implementation of the Expert Panel's recommendation "Actions will speak louder than words", a renewal report on the Ontario Tobacco Strategy. This letter is being sent to you as an effort to ensure protection of one of our major industries in the Tobacco Growing Region of Ontario. It is extremely important for you to be aware of the economic impact when addressing a further reduction of the tobacco crop in the tobacco growing area in southern Ontario. The Regional Municipality of Hal dim and-N orfolk, being the largest tobacco growing region in the Province, will experience further dramatic economic,adjustment, including major job loss. Haldimand-Norfolk's Health Department and Economic Development staff plan to present a report to Regional Council in the future concerning agricultural diversification in the tobacco growing region and the Ontario Tobacco Stratègy. Because of the current local government restructuring, this report will be delayed. In the interim, and to assist your Ministry with the Ontario Tobacco Strategy, I enclose a copy of the 1995 Final Report prepared by Deloitte & Touche Management Consultants entitled, "Economic Contribution of the Tobacco Industry in the Tobacco Growing Region of Ontario." 63 ~ Page 2 The Honourable Elizabeth Witmer, Re: Ontario Tobacco Strate Partners in preparing this extensive report on the tobacco growing area were Marketing Board; and, Council Municipal Governments in the study area; Province of Ontario; Government of Canada; Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' The Canadian Tobacco Manufacturers' Agricultural diversificationiš a priority, however, the sensitivity to adjustment resulting from tremendous economic impact in Haldimand-Norfolk, is a greater priority. ~-- Yours truly, Robert J.

The date- sensitive equipment that we identified has now been restored and deployed back into service. From now until the end of the year, the focus ofou(Y2K Program is two-fold. First, we have a rigorous change control program in place throughout the organization to safeguard the state of Y2K-readlness that we have achieved. Secondly, we are coordinating and working with other industry participants on year-end rollover preparations. We have reached the point in our Y2K program, where we believe we have significantly reduced the risks associated with Y2K. By undertaking a thorough contingency planning effort, including participation in key drills such as the continent-wide North American Electricity Reliability Council Y2K Drill in September, we are helping to lower those risks.E!ven further. Our contingency pians leverage the flexibility, back-up procedures and response times already built into our daily operations and restoration management so that we can be prepared to respond to any foreseeable Y2K problem that might occur during the rollover period. Sharing information with our customers, communities and other stakehoiders is a priority for Ontario Hydro Services Company and the Y2K program. By keeping you up-to-date on our year 2000 preparations, we believe that we can assist your own Y2K preparation efforts and help keep you informed of our progress to date. In keeping with that commitment, please find enclosed a copy of our recently published Ontario Hydro Services Company's Year 2000 Operational Readiness Report. Ontario Hydro Services Company began operating on April 1, 1999. We are dedicated to the safe and reliable transmission and distribution of electricity to our customers and communities. In keeping with that commitment our Y2K program is comprehensive and far-reaching. If you would like additional Information about Y2K and electricity, we can direct you to our web site at www.ohsc.cöm or please feel free to contact our Year 2000 Program Office either by phone (416-506-2000 or 1-877-531-9933) or e-mail usatyear2000@ohsc.com.

There are currently four professional stadiums that are subject to taxation in the Province of Ontario: Air Canada Centre; Maple Leaf Gardens; SkyDome; and the Corel Centre. Other stadiums such as Copps Coliseum, Ivor Wynn Stadium and Jetform Park do not pay property tax because they are municipally owned. The province will establish a professional sports facility property class that can be used at the discretion of the municipality. In addition, the government will establish a new range of tax fairness for this class that would permit significant flexibility for municipalitie& to set their own municipal tax rates. for The province will provide corresponding education property tax reductions every reduction that the municipality makes on its rate. "The Province has gone a long way to level the playing field; Eves said. "The federal government has failed to demonstrate or quantify the level of support they are willing to provide to Ontario's teams, let alone those across the country: If municipalities take up the provincial offer to its fullest extent, Ontario will forego up to $16 M in provincial education property tax revenues. The province will await indications from municipalities that are interested in participating in this new property class. 30 Rita Smith, Communications Assistant (416) 325-9566 75 more information. contact For Sandra Heffren; Linda B.

October 27,. 1999 regulatory changes to protect municipalities from any loss of reven\lCS that may occur due to an inability to coJlect penalty and interest charges 011 overdue 1999 tax amounts billed in 2000. . " "" The letter points out the real likelihood, for reasons beyond the control of the municipality, that 1999 tax bills may eithcr not be issued tU1til the ncw year, or, if issued, may not provide adequate time for due dates in 1999. In the ¡atter instance, even if time permits a municipality to have a singlc due date prior to DeceTnber 31, 1999, many billing systems would need to be rctooled, since the normal tax billing process involves two or more insta1ments, therefore introducing further delays to thc process. TIle Associations are asking for authority to bill and have due dates in 2000 for 1999 taxes willie retaining thc ability to charge late payment and interest charges on overdue amounts. In a separate letter, the four Associations have asked for interim levy limits for 2000 of 75% of the 1999 final tax amount. Under the municipal proposal, municipalities could interim levy for 75% of the 1999 amount but collection would be limited to 50% prior to the end of May. The additional 25% would bc collected on due dates that fell subsequent to May 31,2000. The Associations have also requestcd a change to Section 187 of the Mwlicipal Act to allow municipalities to borrow for 1999 and 2000 to the same limits as were in place for 1998.

Mr. Ska1ica is conducting consultations on the issue of seasonal and vacant business and residentiaJ property assessment and taxation. In its submission, AMCTO stressed the following points: . that current value assessment is based on the property value relative to similar properties and that CW1'ent valuation methods allow for vacancies or seasonal uses in arriving at an assessed value; that thc tax system aJlocates costs based on the relative value of any given property and not based on occupancy or the consumption of services; of2 I Page . 76 TAXING MATTERS AMCrO Discusscs Tax ,rssues The members of 1110 AMCTO Legislative Committee met with representatives (If the MinÜ1try of Finance, Ministry ofMtmicipal Affairs and Housing/OPTA and the Ontario Property Tax Corporation on October 15ù' to discuss several issues related to Bill 79 and assessm<mt and tax policy gcnerally. As of October 15'1" OPTA mId delivered 80 billing CD's to municipalities as compared t,o 367 that were delivered in1998. The OFTA representative was adamant that OPT A is not the issue and. that the system is capable of handling aJl mWlÏcipaJitie,¡. OPT A insists that all of the problems are related to municipalities not following the procedures established to obtain the OPTA CD. Ministry of Finan,ce officials aclmowledged that some mWlicipalities (approx. 20 at the time of the meeting) where awaiting a regulation in order to be able to procced with the 1999 final bi11ing process. The Ministry representatives also expressed concern that a number of municipa1ities did not understand the process that was in place to trigger thc production of an OPTA CD for their municipaJity. To facilitate the provision of assistance to these municipalities, the Ministw is contacting mtmicipalities that have not requested a CD ftom OPTA to determine if a problem exists and to offer resources in the form of expertise to help facilitate the proCess. Municipal staff aæ encouraged to put in writing any concerns or difficulties that they are ,'xpcriencing in finalizing the 1999 billing process and transmit these to the Ministries of Finance and Municipal Affairs and Housing, your M.P.P. and AMCTO, AMO and MFOA. With respect to the post Bill 79 era of municipal taxation, Ministry of Finance represel~tatìves indicated that work is underway (early stages) on what aJtcmatives are available. The representatives reiterated that the Minister of Finance has committed the government, in his pre-election budget, to continued protection from exccssive property tax increases for business and multi-residential properties Bill 79 AMCTO, in COujllllction with AMO, MFOA and AM'fCO, has sent a letter to the Deputy Minister of Finance, Bryan Purchase and the D,Zputy Minister ofMunieipal Affairs and Hottsing, Michael Fenn asking for legislative and Municipal licensing officers may pennil a transition period from lhe current approach for a "reasonablc" period of lime. that any changes that affect Bill 79 capping programs would be extremely confusing and result in further delays; that the definition and enforcement of a seasonal classification would further complicate the "SMART SERVE" PROGRAM system and be costly to implement and maint"ul' Smart Servc Ontario, a division ofthe Hospitality that a1l trailelrs with permanent connections (i.e.' !n~~s~ Training Organization of Ontario has announccd water, hydro, sewer, etc.) should be asscssed and mll1atlon of the OntarIO Rcsponsible Beverage Service taxed as permanent dwellings; Training Program.
