development should take place. The purpose of the 5-year Review of the Official Plan
exercise is to ensure that the vision/values, directions, policies, and actions in the
Official Plan meet the needs of the community into the future.
In accordance with the County's Official Plan Review Public Engagement Strategy
document endorsed by Council on March 15, 2021, the first edition of the "What We
Heard" report provides a summary of the engagement efforts completed to date,
comments consolidated into various topics themes, the provision of some statistical
data, and includes actual "as we heard it" feedback from the community.
At its meeting on May 18, 2021, the County's Rural Initiatives and Planning Advisory
Committee received the first edition of the "What We Heard Report" and have
recommended its presentation to Council.
Accordingly, the purpose of this report is to present the first edition of the "What We
Heard Report" which provides details of all public engagement feedback received to
date, and responses as provided by staff.

DISCUSSION:
What is an Official Plan?
An Official Plan is a legal statutory planning document required by the province that
describes the County's land -use strategy. The Official Plan seeks to:
• Make the public aware of the County's land use planning framework;
• Addresses the location, form, and design of new development;
• Ensure that growth is balanced, managed and coordinated to meet the
community's current and future land needs;
• Assists with the understanding of how land may be used now and in the future;
• Provides a framework to establish municipal Zoning By-laws and sets regulations
and standards (i.e. the size of lots and height of buildings);
• Analyzes where and when transportation networks, infrastructure, parks, and
other services will be built;
• Provides a local approach to balance Provincial policy and conflicting land uses
while meeting the needs of the County's interests;
• Ensure that County has the financial, human and physical resources, and that
they are used most appropriately; and,
• Shows Council's commitment to the management of planned and future growth
of the community.
The Planning Act (Section 26) requires every municipality to update its Official Plan at
every five years, or every 10 years after the approval of a new Official Plan. Plans must
have regard for matters of provincial interest and are consistent with the Provincial
Policy Statement (PSS). It is expected that Council will regularly update the Official Plan
to ensure the plan implements changes to the PPS. Details of the Section 26 and other
relevant sections of the Planning Act are outlined in Appendix 1.
Since the adoption of the County Official Plan in 2013, the Official Plan must be
consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. In addition to the Planning Act, there are
numerous pieces of legislation and regulations that have implications for official plan
policies. The purpose of the Official Plan review is to ensure that the vision/values,
directions, policies, and actions in the Official Plan continues to meet the needs of the
community into the future.
Consultation, Engagement and Outreach
When updating an official plan, the Planning Act requires a Special Meeting of Council
or Committees that are open to the public. This is intended to provide an opportunity for
the public to make comments and suggest revisions that may be required to an official
Ki
3
plan. Council's endorsed Official Plan Review Public Engagement Strategy intends to
go above and beyond the statutory requirements required by the Planning Act.
Official Plans reflect a municipality's future vision and strategic land use planning. The
County's public engagement strategy seeks to engage and get the community involved.
Staff have begun collaborating with the public and stakeholders from across the County
to gather input on key issues facing Elgin County today, and how we want to see our
County evolve in the future. The public consultation process aims to:
• Ensure transparency and improve efficiency;
• Discuss the goals and aspirations for the community;
• Contribute opinions, ideas and recommendations on growth and development;
and,
• Provide an opportunity to participate in the planning process.
One of the County's Official Plan Review Public Engagement Strategy program
commitments included the preparation of the first "What We Heard" report, appended to
this report, and as recently presented before the County's Rural Initiatives and Planning
Advisory Committee on May 18, 2021. This report provides a summary of the
engagement efforts completed to date, an overview of comments received to date and
staff responses consolidated into various topic themes, and includes actual "as we
heard it" feedback from the community. This report will also be made available on the
County's Official Plan Review webpage for the public to review, and its availability will
also be communicated using the County's various social media forums.
Staff efforts to increase public participation will soon be further enhanced with the use of
Engagement HQ's `Bang the Tab/e'platform which is expect to launch in the coming
week(s).
Next Steps
Staff will be meeting with key community stakeholders and soliciting additional feedback
from local municipalities in preparation of the second What We Heard report edition.
The report will contain a summary of further feedback from stakeholders, and will detail
select policy discussion papers. The report will also outline timelines, and additional
feedback and engagement opportunities.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Completion of the official plan review will be undertaken primarily by County staff, with
some portions completed by external consultants including background technical
reports. At this time, costs will be contained within Planning and Legislative Services
budgets.

It's all dependent on the housing market. As more people leave Toronto housing will be higher
3/17/2021 8:45AM
here. Talk to MyutTenk he's knows all about this stuff.
Housing is unbelievable right now. How are people suppose to afford outrageous amounts of

Housing prices have doubled in the last year
3/18/2021 10:11 PM

3/18/2021 Q:O2 PM

3/18/20218:19PM
Many are greatly concerned about overpopulation, overcrowding and noise. This reduces
3/18/2021 8:18PM
quality of life for residents that already live here, and increases competition for the few jobs
that are available.
Comparatively, they are more affordable than surrounding markets.
3/18/2021 7:55PM
It costs way too much to buy houses which is why more people are renting but with rent costs

areas may wish tnsee focus on single -detached, estate -style development due tnless

We have an opportunity to revitalize areas in our communities that can make them more

underutilized and could be areas of higher crime instances (we see it in parts of Hamilton and
St. Thomas). Furthermnre, environmentally -wise this is VITAL. | know Elgin County has an
Environmental Committee and maybe they should be brought innnthis, as building up, rather
than up can help us keep our natural heritage areas aafe, our wetlands aafe, our forested areas

showed the mina of aoentoU nrSouth American civilization that was highly civilized. A huge
recently discovered metropolis with rnada, templea, housing and farmlands. Then all of
sudden they disappeared. They finally discovered it was not war, yenndde, disease but the
lack of auatainabi|ity. They used all their farmland for urban growth. They had no way to feed
themselves nor enough water. We need to not repeat history but learn from it.

2 Not everyone wants to be in a major corridor area. There are many parcels of land in Elgin that

No more athnya of houses along roads. Build in fully serviced settlement areas.
Growth should be stopped.
Growth should also focus on areas with existing full or partial municipal servicing to better
utilize service capacity.
| need some examples to understand more fully the implications.
Tar and chip Din roads like west Hovey Line
Depends on the community and |noa| economy as well as existing built form.
Growth needs tnbesmart. There are key locations where municipalities (ie. Aylmer and
Ma|ahide)where growth can happen eaai|y, but municipal boundaries and pn|idoa yet in the
way.
Growth should bedirected tnexisting communities
Growth should be encouraged intowns and villages to reduce spread tnagricultural land. Strip
development should beavoided.
Yea but not highway 3.
Further tnthat, focus should be put on inward ymvmh and not along major corridors.
New housing developments should be placed on small roads with easy azoeaa to major
corridors. Placing to much housing or growth on amajor corridor causes traffic issues and then
the speed limit must be lowered, further impeding traffic. A prime example is when Malahide
allowed anumber nf new housed to be build on Highway 73anuth nfAylmer and then had to
drop the speed limit tn8Okm/hr.
Many are greatly concerned about overpopulation, overcrowding and noise. This reduces
quality of life for residents that already live here, and increases competition for the few jobs
that are available.

As |nny as roadways receive necessary upgrades to onntm| commuter traffic and also focus
on cycling and other (aidewake etc ) recreational uses of the roadways.
Our shoreline is a vastly under utilized resource. The fact that the answer is effectively "no
development ever" on our shoreline except in 2 or basically commercial areas means we are
missing out on atax base from higher value homes that people would enjoy. Other
communities embrace being close tnthe beauty of the Lake for momyuinn and visual appeal
but we act like it's a waste site and deter people from it.

Parkland and outdoor spaces allow for people to enjoy the fresh air and seasonal changes.

We need natural green spaces. We don't want it to look too industrial. Green spaces and wild

life is emotionally soothing.
Avoid extending growth areas tnprotect small value natural systems and inturn decrease
3/17/2021 1z7PM
urban density. Decide where growth will be and protect outside that. For ex. A half acre wood
lot within aviUaye is better to be aonndn block and protect the 100 azremmnd|nt and farm land
outside the village.
It's important to keep our green spaces and nature untouched.

Expansion of the number of dwellings allowed on aprnpeny addresses this issue. Having

multiple dwellings on apmperty reduces impact on natural systems buy capitalizing nn
property already used for residential purposes (similar tnthe garden suite for elderly parente,

of tiny homes.
Not when that protection is overbearing and doesn't allow people to fully utilize their properties.

3/20/202112:14PM
believe is not being addressed! You build more houses to attract more younger couples and
yet you have done nothing tnsupport those families with appropriate child care .... just wrong!
All Early Learning Centres now do NOT offer befnre/ufteraohnol programs which only leaves
the YWCA program inschools which has minimal spots. Plus them used tnbean Early
Learning Centre that offered 24/7 care for shift workers but they ended this option years ago.
Vvhyu about shift workers .... aryh! |'m beyond disappointed in this area. For this reason alone |
know nffamilies that won't move here. It takes 2-parent income these days but yet mm are Su
behind the times in supporting parents that need tnwork with appropriate childcare options.

4/14/2021 12:18AM
1000/0
4/14/2021 12:06AM
And sidewalks, especially in Port Stanley. It's dangerous walking alongside the road with how
4/13/2021 Q:15 PM

Jitneys! Dedicated bike paths away from major streets
4/13/2021 8:19 PM

4/13/20213:38PM
aahutt|e service between London, St. Thnmaa, Port Stanley would be an asset, and likely
4/13/2021 11:56AM
profitable as well.
Bicycle paths & designated pedestrian only areas. LOWER speed limits, speed bumps and

Definitely bike lanes. The repaving of hwy 4 between Talbotville and the tracks took out a nice

huge country biking culture around Elgin County.

There is nothing strategic about this. Allow it to happen and give more control to business and
3/17/2021 8:45AM
businesses that can beprofitable makes ahealthy community.
It is of course important to plan for improved health and wellness. However, many do not want
3/18/2021 8:18 PM
any growth. They are greatly concerned about overpopulation, overcrowding and noise. This
reduces quality nflife for residents that already live here, and increases competition for the few
jobs that are available. It is especially important tn protect nouuoU systems and preserve
ymenapaoe!
| don't think Elgin needs tnthink about growing at all, rather improving what already exists.

There was mention recently of an outward migration of people moving tnthe country. Them
3/15/2021 1z3 PM

hasty decisions on ymenfie|d development until mmsee where the dust settles from the
pandemic.
This includes a plan that is also embraced by municipalities within the County. We have to
3/12Y2021 8:55AM
coordinate the effort to make itwork well or it is confusing for developers and residents.
I feel like the planning process is limiting dynamic growth rather than enabling it.

good food. Some of the best produce I have ever tasted comes from here at Debacker and
Howe farms. I would also like to see a push for more organic farming in the area too, in order
to help protect our pollinators, birds and wildlife.

Farmers markets could be acore strength for the town that can draw people tnthe downtown

22
Agree that itshould be encouraged but should be privately developed, nwned, and managed.
3/17/2021 1z7PM
23
Sure. Do that by giving more freedom to the landlords. Then you will have more landlords and
3/17/2021 8:45AM
more housing and a variety or prices. Housing affordability will fluctuate with the market. If you
could give landlords more control they would beable tnmake more nfabusiness and be able
to yet more creative in what is offered. Them is too much risk for landlords right now because
renters might not leave etc. If control was given tnthe landlords there would be more choice
just because them are more landlords that offer different types of housing. If you could yet rid
of more regulation and let landlords operate you would see more rentals and more availability.
The more government tries to control this the more money iawasted aa government isn't inthe
housing business. Your job is to provide the space for people to make these things instead of
restricting them and making it difficult for them to offer housing.
24
Strongly Agree!

Many are greatly concerned about overpopulation, overcrowding and noise. This reduces
3/18&2021 8:18PM

That includes masks. People should not bedenied access tnshopping and services if they

actually have this at all. Just supporting this Charter would provide equitable and barrier free

nfthat Charter. So educating businesses that they can let everyone shop in their store without
fear of fines or punishment would help our county immediately. I'm quite certain you would

1 In the past, Elgin has paid little attention to maintaining green energy from forest, woods, 4/20/2021 4:29 PM
agricultural land and has reduced the agricultural areas as new houses and subdivisions are
being built.
2 Paving paradise for a giant parking lot .. by destroying the natural beach berm on Erie Rest, 4/15/2021 12:58 PM
would be an atrocity. Paid parking is a must. Small increase and improvement to the current
parking lot. A big lot will ruin the nature and eco system of the beach and serve no benefit
whatsoever. Paid parking will greatly REDUCE the number of cars there, as all who come
there, come for the free parking. If payment is required, and nearby roads are regularly
ticketed, people will choose to pay at the main beach with closer amenities. Mc Ashphault
would make a perfect parking lot, and som e the parking issue.

Is them the infrastructure for adding more tourists to the local area? The ongoing issues are
4/1/2021 10:48AM
parkiny, tni|eta, garbage and atramapnrtyuinn network. These need to be addressed. If they can
be, then, adding more tourists CAN potentially add revenue. However, if they only use the
beazh, there is no value to our community and instead could be a ymyuer cost. To safeguard
against adding people with nnvalue tnthe community, | would suggest limits on the number of
..campers/visitors" allowed on a business of this type.

Definitely. it is awin win situation. This is a(kind of) passive income for farmers which puts

wonderful growth opportunity for Elgin and especially West Elgin. Why do a few residents

The noise bylaws on the main street need tngo. Go to any other growing city there are pyuina

was a huge mistake just like when you allowed the walmart in your core. Look to Guelph they
have a very successful downtown filled with small local shops and live music vs money marts,
pawn shops and dollar stores you see in St. Thomas. People go to Port Stanley tnspend their
money because there are no pyuina with live music inyour downtown onm. This is ahuye miss
for St. Thomas in my opinion when you hear live music and abuzdny onm it makes you want
to go walk around dnwntnwn, visit the ahnpa, grab a pint and take in some music on a patio.

15 Climate will always change and farmers and people in general adapt. Just let us and don't
imagine that you can halt massive changes in the environment. The best thing tnfocus on is
keeping things picked up and neat. And promoting people tnfollow through on what happens
down the chain from their actions. The best way to help with this is to let small business and
small farms thrive rather than regulating them so much that they can't get a footing. The more
we are tied tnsmaller farms and business the more we are dnae to the land. Even if people
had more freedom in town to have afew chickens or have a business in their garage people
would be closer tnthe land and empowered to take care of it. For instance aamal| pnponm
business inAylmer was doing ymyu things in their garage they had a pyuin, they had aalea, it
was a wonderful community feeling, they had no overhead, they were able to make a living.
Then Aylmer went and shut them down. Criminal. It's these behaviours that actually hurt the
environment and distance us more and more from having ownership and feeling responsible for
looking after it. |fmmwere free tn operate on aamal| scale like that on our own property from

Apparently this is already done because of the Charter of Human Rights which doesn't allow
3/17&201 8:45AM
discrimination. However you can see how from 2020 and currently we are fighting to actually
have this at all. Just supporting this Charter would provide equitable and barrier free azoeaa to
services and amenities. From wheelchairs, to the unmasked. All is covered because of that
Charter. So educating businesses that they can let everyone shop in their store without fear of
fines or punishment would help our county immediately. |'m quite certain you would disagree if
curb -side service was what was available for those that are wheelchair bound because a
business didn't want to install a ramp nrthought wheels would make their store floors too dirty.
Same applies for anything else. Curb -side is excellent for anyone that wishes to use it and in
store shopping is excellent for anyone who ohnnaea it and businesses need to be supported
with the adage that the customer is always right and meet their needs. Empower your
businesses by educating them and supporting them tnfollow our Canadian Cnnadmdnn and
Charter of Human Rights without punishment.

By eliminating taxes and eliminating myu|adnne you will foster athhviny community and

become reality because of getting rid of hoops for people tnjump through. The best way to
support and attract sustainable business and employment opportunities is to let business
operate in a place with |eaa myu|yuinn and |eaa tax.
12 Many are against new housing and development which increases overpopulation and
competition for the few jobs that are available. It does not make sense to add a company that
hires 50 people if5OO more people are competing for the same jobs.

The county needs to attract businesses to the area and if that means some agricultural land
3/17/20219z4AM
needs to be developed for this purpose for the betterment of the community than that should
be done. Industrial land needs to beapriority aa well.
|'m not sure what this means but | would let farmers manage their land and be able to hire who
3/17/2021 8:45AM

impossible to operate how they would like. Especially small farmers. There is so much
regulation over who they can hire and how to get them here. It would be ideal if you were able

MORE regulations and hoops for them tnjump through.

Agreement" be received and filed; and,
2. Effective May 25, 2021, the approved format to the Telecommunication
Equipment Consent and Road User Agreement, and in particular Sections 10.6
through 10.8 therein, be amended to provide as set forth in Schedule "A" hereto.
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this Report to Council is to seek formal approval to amend specified
provisions in the previously -approved format of the Telecommunication Equipment
Consent and Road User Agreement ("Telecommunication Agreement") in keeping with
the direction of Council given May 11, 2021.
DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND:
On March 23, 2021, County Council approved a format for a Telecommunication
Agreement for installation of telecommunication equipment, including fiber optic cable,
within County Road Allowances.
►4917
2
On May 11, 2021, County Council directed revision of the approved format of the
Telecommunication Agreement to address concerns raised by an interested contractor,
particularly in relation to security requirements provided for within the said Agreement.
To implement the changes directed by Council, Staff propose and recommend revisions
to Sections 10.6 to 10.8 and as more specifically set forth in Schedule "A" attached
hereto.
The primary effect of the proposed revisions to the format of the approved Agreement is
to reduce the amount of discretionary Blanket Security, whether in the form of Letter of
Credit or other such security (including cash security), from $25,000.00 to $10,000.00.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
1. Reduction of performance security potentially required from a
telecommunications installation contractor to $10,000.00.
2. Reduction of security fund from which County can draw to complete works
required of telecommunications installation contractor to $10,000.00.

koad User Agreement ("RUA") with Uplink in respect of a proposed fiber-
optic installation project in New Sarum. At that time, it was understood that future
installation projects would be administered under a Telecommunication Agreement to
be negotiated and executed with Uplink after a format for such Agreement had been
approved by County Council.
County Council approved a format for the Telecommunication Agreement on March 23,

The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an updated Action Plan originally
developed by staff in February/March 2020 and most recently updated and presented to
Council on March 9, 2021. The actions contained within this Plan support Elgin County
Council's Strategic Plan 2020-2022.
BACKGROUND:
The action items contained in the Strategic Plan - Staff Action Plan are aligned with the
strategic priorities (Serving Elgin, Growing Elgin, and Investing in Elgin) contained in
Council's 2020-2022 Strategic Plan and are designed to advance Council's goals over
the next two (2) years.
The Chief Administrative Officer and Elgin's Leadership Team continue to make
meaningful progress towards the completion of these action items and improving
existing County processes through departmental collaboration and forward -thinking.
Although delays have occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Team
continues to advance these projects in a timely manner.
Many strategic actions include policies or plans that were approved by County Council
during the 2021 Budget process and are now underway. Outstanding items will come
forward for Council approval in 2022.

Since the last update in March 2021, staff have made progress on a number of these
initiatives particularly in relation to priority areas identified as part of the Service Delivery
Review.
The County's CAO oversees the implementation of the Staff Action Plan. Leads are
assigned to each action to ensure clear accountability. The assigned lead is responsible
for leading the strategic action implementation, including facilitating cross -corporate
coordination and collaboration with other departments as required.
The Staff Action Plans will be presented to Council quarterly and will summarize the
implementation of the strategic actions to -date and note any challenges, risks, or
revisions to the planning process.
CONCLUSION:
Staff presented an Action Plan update in March of 2021. Since this time progress has
been made on a number of the initiatives contained within the Action Plan. An updated
Staff Action Plan is attached for Council's review.
All of which is Respectfully Submitted

Elgin County Library Partners with the Ontario Ministry of the
Solicitor General
Elgin County Library has teamed up with the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General to
donate withdrawn library materials for use in area prison libraries located within detention
centres in London, Sarnia, Windsor, Strafford, and Penetanguishene.
Book sales continue to be a staple in all ten Elgin County Library branch locations, however,
"this allows our library system to discard materials where they can be better used to benefit
the area's prison population and does so in an environmentally friendly manner compared
to recycle or landfill options," explains Brian Masschaele, Director of Community and

Cultural Services for Elgin County.
Kelli Jerome, Regional Librarian with the Ministry of the Solicitor General clarifies, "The goal
of the institutional library is to provide positive influence on inmates lives by encouraging
literacy and learning, in addition to forms of entertainment while incarcerated. Our
partnership with Elgin County Library has been the cornerstone of our success in providing
library services directly to inmates across the West region. We are extremely grateful to
hold this relationship and look forward to its growth."
Library Coordinator for Elgin County Library, Natalie Marlowe, describes this as an exciting
opportunity, "We are honoured to support literacy, lifelong learning, and the love of reading
at those institutions." What else can public libraries do to support the improvement of
literacy rates among inmates? Stay tuned!

Thank you for your letter, forwarded to me by the Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of
Ontario, about the Ontario Fire College (OFC) Gravenhurst campus.
On January 13, 2021, the government of Ontario announced its plan to transform and
modernize fire safety training across the province. As part of this plan, the Office of the
Fire Marshal will deliver fire safety training through a combination of in -person training
at regional training centres, online courses, the introduction of mobile live fire training
and through contracts with individual fire departments.
Ontario's fire services are unique and their composition differs across the province. To
better serve the varied and evolving needs of fire services across the province, the
Office of the Fire Marshal has developed a regional training model to expand access
and provide local training to ensure that firefighters can count on the support and
resources they need to keep Ontarians safe. The Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs and
other key stakeholders will continue to be consulted as our modernization efforts evolve.
Currently, the province works with 20 Regional Training Centres, and this number will
continue to grow so that more fire departments are located within close proximity of
training centres. At the same time, enhancements to online learning, the introduction of
mobile live fire training and the ability to bring training in house to local fire services will
ensure that the OFC continues to deliver consistent quality training across Ontario.
On March 4, 2021, additional information was provided to both fire chiefs and municipal
councils on the OFC training options available as part of this ongoing modernization.
This Fire Marshal's Communique ensures that both municipal councils and fire chiefs
are aware of the different training modes available to them to meet their departments'
needs.

On March 11, 2021, we were also pleased to announce a $5 million grant to help
municipal fire services address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The funding will
enhance fire safety training across the province and support safety inspection programs
to ensure compliance with the Ontario Fire Code. This grant, in addition to other recent
funding announcements, will assist municipal fire departments in meeting the needs of
their members and their communities.
The closure of the physical campus in Gravenhurst was not taken lightly and it brings
with it many emotions that I can appreciate and understand. I must emphasize that OFC
staff will continue to play a leading role in developing training courses. Making sure that
each fire service is well equipped to meet the needs of their community is of paramount
importance and I am confident in the Office of the Fire Marshal's ability to deliver fire
safety training across the province.
Thank you again for writing to express your concerns about this matter.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Jones
Solicitor General
