Notice of Motion Prior to Meeting

15.1

Councillor Peters, Highway 413

Whereas the Ontario Ministry of Transportation initiated Stage 1 of the GTA West Environmental Assessment in 2008, and

Whereas in May 2017 the GTA West Advisory Panel released its final report and its recommendations to the MTO, and

Whereas in February 2018 the Province announced that it would not be proceeding with the GTA West project, and

Whereas the Provincial government reversed itself and restarted the GTA West project in June 2019, and

Whereas the proposed GTA West project would intersect both the proposed Credit Valley Trail as well as property currently owned by Orangeville Rail Development Corporation that is under consideration for a regional recreational trail, and

Whereas current environmental conditions require that all municipalities re-evaluate transportation plans to ensure that investments result in reduced GHG emissions, with a focus on sustainable modes such as mass transit, and

Whereas the funding, development, planning, building, and maintenance of a new 400 series highway is in effect an enormous subsidy for individual automobile drivers and transportation companies, and

Whereas once a new highway is built it induces additional driving and rapidly fills to capacity,

Therefore be it resolved that the Town of Orangeville opposes further investment by the Province in the GTA West Transportation Corridor, and

That this resolution be circulated to Premier Doug Ford, MPP Sylvia Jones, the Minister of Transportation, the Town of Caledon, the Region of Peel, and Halton Region.

 

15.2

Councillor Peters, Ranked Ballots

Whereas Bill 218 – Supporting Ontario’s Recovery and Municipal Elections Act removes the option for municipalities to use the ranked ballot in elections, and

Whereas the removal of this option will negatively impact not only the City of London, the one municipality already implementing ranked ballots, but several other municipalities contemplating or committed to introducing ranked ballots, and

Whereas ranked ballots are a proven voting methodology used in jurisdictions around the world, and

Whereas the Province’s rationale for this measure includes poorly supported arguments such as cost or preventing “experimentation”, and

Whereas these changes are being proposed without any consultation with municipalities, AMO, or the general public,

Therefore be it resolved that the Town of Orangeville request that the Provincial Government rescind these changes, and

That letters in support of this position be sent to Premier Doug Ford, MPP Sylvia Jones, and all Ontario municipalities.

 

15.3

Councillor Sherwood, Community Garden

Whereas residents of the community have enjoyed the benefits of the Town community garden located at the Edelbrock Centre;
And Whereas the Recreation and Parks Master Plan recommended that the Town investigate the suitability of developing additional community gardens at Alder and Tony Rose to facilitate food-related programs;
And Whereas the Recreation and Parks Master Plan recommended that the Town work with Sustainable Orangeville, the Orangeville Food Bank, and Dufferin County to expand community gardens in Orangeville;
Now therefore be it resolved that Council direct staff to report back to Council prior to consideration of the 2022 Budget on the feasibility, viability and costs associated with the establishment of additional community gardens on Town owned lands.
