Okay,

We

and
and

plan
service
item
number
1
official
plan
and
zoning
bylaw
amendment
461,
39
and
6143
per

So
we
have
two
speaker
so
we'll
hold
item
number
one
item
number
two:
zoning
bylaw
amendment,
a
part
of
1810
York's,
Corner,
Road,
I.
A
Okay,
thank
you
item
number
three,
which
is
rural
economic
development
strategy
and
implying
so
we
we
have
a
presentation
from
our
staff
and
I
believe
we
have
a
speaker
on
this
item
as
well.
So
we'll
hold
item
three
item
number
four
official
plan,
amendment
Portobello
boulevard
and
the
item
is
that
the
agricultural
affairs
committee
recommend
that
council
adopt
the
draft
official
plan
amendment
attached
as
a
document
to
that
changes.
A
Delegation
of
city-owned
land
front
to
Portobello
and
Brian
Corbin
Boulevard
I
serve
a
private
residential
lot,
fronting
trim
and
tenth
line
Road
in
Orland
from
an
agricultural
resource
area
designation
to
a
general
rural
area
designation,
and
we
do
as
the
clerk
receive
a
petition
on
this
item.
But
on
this
item
in
front
of
us
is,
we
have
no
speaker
I.
Believe
no
one
reaches
to
speak
on
item
number
for
an
item
number:
four:
okay:
okay,
thank
you.
A
So
we
do
have
information
previously
disturbers
that
20
19
grand
rural
Association,
Partnership,
Program
and
rural
community
building
grant
program
is
receive.
So
we
do
have
two
item
we
like
to
deal
with
it
earlier
or
first
before
we
go
to
our
agenda
and
those
both
motions
need
waiver
of
the
rules.
So
we
start
with
the
item
number
one
or
motion
number
one
I
just
I
know:
councillor
Moffitt
will
be
moving
this
motion,
but
just
to
put
it
in
maybe
we
turn
it
to
you.
Go
ahead.
A
B
You
very
much
I'll
read
the
entire
watch,
because
it
it
lays
out
exactly
what's
what
we're
doing
here.
So
so
it's
support
for
bill
156,
whereas
the
City
of
Ottawa
has
a
larger
cultural
section,
a
cultural
area
and
continues
to
play
an
important
role
in
Ontario's
Agri
crude
agri-food
sector,
one
hundred
six,
five
million
dollars
in
Farm
cash
receipts
and
whereas
the
agri-food
sector
is
the
second
largest
industry
in
Ontario,
contributing
nearly
forty
billion
dollars
annually
to
the
Terios
GDP
and
essentially,
and
is
essential
for
providing
food
and
fuel
at
home
and
across
the
globe.
B
And
whereas
Ontario
farmers
have
increasingly
come
under
threat
of
unwanted
trespassers
and
activists
who
are
illegally
entering
property
burns.
Buildings
seizing
private
property
and
threatening
the
health
and
safety
of
the
farm,
employees,
livestock
and
crops,
and
whereas
in
December
2019,
the
government
of
Ontario
introduced
new
legislation
in
bill.
156
security
from
trespass
and
protecting
food
safety
act,
2020,
which
will
ensure
farm
businesses,
have
a
legal
standing
to
protect
their
farm,
family
and
employees,
a
livestock
crops
and,
ultimately,
the
entire
food
supply.
A
Thank
you
and
those
folks,
this
motion
that
believe
it
or
not.
The
minister
has
asked
us
when
we
were
in
Roma
to
gather
some
support
for
for
this
bill.
I
want
to
thank
my
colleague,
Scott
Moffat,
for
moving
this
motion
and
we
need
to
send
a
card
or
I
think
the
staff
will
be
sent
a
copy
to
Roma
as
as
I
sit
on
Roma
board,
and
this
is
where
important
to
the
role
of
municipality.
So
on
emotion.
Okay,
thank
you
well
good.
Thank
you.
A
Our
second
yeah,
because
we
don't
usually
get
a
plot
here
so
I
was
surprised.
Sir
I
was
happy
to
receive
it.
Sir.
The
other
motion
also,
we
need
to
waive
a
rule
to
receive
it's
about
6900
obliques,
Road,
Road
extension
constructions.
So
on
the
way
for
the
rule,
okay,
so
we
turned
it
back
to
council
Smurf.
It
has
a
motion
about
this
council
mafia.
Thank.
B
The
a
cultural
Rural
Affairs
Committee
refer
to
council
the
matters
of
leaks,
Road
and
the
property
at
6,900,
Bleek's
road
and
direct
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
departments
staff
to
work
with
the
owner
to
explore
options
available
to
address
the
issue
of
frontage
upon
an
improved
Road
in
order
to
eat
in
order
to
be
able
to
present
a
recommended
approach
to
March
22,
the
March
25th
2020
council
meeting.
So
this
is
a
situation
where
a
permit
was
ready
and
there
was
a.
B
There
was
a
misunderstanding
on
the
city's
part
as
to
asked
the
conditions
of
the
severance
and
the
fact
that
it
didn't
front
on
to
a
a
maintain
section
of
road.
So
that's
left
the
property
owner
in
an
unfortunate
situation
of
not
being
able
to
get
the
permit,
even
though
he's
gone
through
the
entire
process.
B
So
this
is
just
giving
staff
the
authority
to
be
able
to
look
at
two
options
with
the
owner
and
see
what
we
can
come
up
with
as
a
solution
to
this
and
fortunate
set
of
circumstances
prior
to
the
meeting
of
council,
so
that,
if
anything
needs
to
come
forward
to
council,
I
need
to
do
anything
account.
So
this
gives
me
the
authority
to
be
able
to
to
have
that
in
front
of
me
and
go
in
that
to
that
direction.
A
A
A
C
Good
morning,
I'm
Cheryl
McWilliams
the
file
lead
on
this
particular
application.
This
is
an
application
to
consider
an
official
plan
and
zoning
bylaw
amendment
at
sixty-one.
Thirty-Nine
6143
per
street
I'll
go
through
this
fairly
quickly
because
I
think
the
committee
is
fairly
familiar
with
it
and
I
believe
the
speaker's
here
today
are
also
familiar
with
it.
The
site
is
in
the
village
of
Richmond,
it's
north
of
Perth,
Street
and
East
of
Huntley.
C
So
basically,
the
Official
Plan
amendment
is
to
allow
an
existing
approved
development
and
partially
built
development
to
proceed
with
creation
of
individual
Lots
for
the
various
phases
of
the
development
just
flip.
Through
this,
the
Richmond's
secondary
plan
identifies
the
north
part
of
the
property
as
residential
apartments
and
the
south
part
as
the
residential
ground
oriented
the
zoning
in
place
is
a
combination
of
village,
sort
of
higher
density
zones
and
a
village
mixed-use.
So
on
the
front.
C
C
All
this
is
all
one
one
property
at
this
time:
the
property,
the
part
in
the
middle
is
a
recently
completed,
three-story
apartment
building
and
the
back
part
of
that
particular
parcel
are
part
of
the
property
is
a
unbuilt
retirement
residence.
The
back
part
of
the
property
is
right
now
approved
with
two
low-rise
apartment
buildings,
and
that
work
has
not
start
yeah.
C
C
This
is
some
street
view,
images
and
the
aerial
photos
of
some
of
the
existing
buildings
within
the
community
communities
known
right
now,
as
Samara
was
originally
known
as
Hyde
Park,
with
the
phase
one,
the
lifeless
bungalows
were
called
and
are
still
known
as
the
Groves,
the
entire
community
is
served
by
sari,
is
served
by
a
private
communal
water
system
and
connects
to
the
city
sanitary
system.
It
is
all
serviced
with
one
storm
system
and
is
all
designed
in
terms
of
parking
and
access.
C
Internally,
the
particular
the
applicants
are
looking
for
the
ability
to
create
separate
buildings
on
the
on
the
property.
I'll
just
go
back
to
the
on
the
property
so
that
they
can
look
towards
finishing
the
development
financing.
As
I
understand,
it
is
easier
when
there
are
separate
parcels
to
get
mortgages
and
loans
etcetera
up
for
because
it
is
a
private
communal
system.
The
city
has
a
municipal
responsibility
agreement
with
the
owners
where
we
hold
our
hope.
C
We
don't
hold
a
trustee,
holds
an
amount
in
trust
for
the
capital
replacement
costs
of
the
the
water
system,
and
also
it
covers
operating
costs.
The
Ministry
of
the
Environment
in
their
approvals
requires
that
the
city
be
ultimately
responsible
for
the
operation
and
maintenance.
We
don't
want
to
be
in
on
that
on
a
daily
basis,
so
they
have
they
being
the
owner
has
their
own
operator
for
the
system
and
they're
responsible.
If
they
fail,
the
ministry
can
order
the
city
to
go
in.
So
we
have
access
to
the
funds
available.
C
Those
individual
property
owners
would
then
be
able
to
sit
on
the
board.
The
common
elements
condominium
board.
That's
what
about
the
condominium
common
elif's
condominium
is
one
of
the
only
processes
that
is
likely
available
for
proceeding
forward
with
being
able
to
split
up
this
particular
property.
Given
the
the
underlying
water
system
issue
and
and
our
responsibilities
relating
to
that
so
right
now,
the
official
plan
allows
for
this
particular
site
that
residential
uses,
normally
residential
uses,
aren't
permitted
on
private
communal
system.
C
The
official
plan
only
allows
for
institutional
uses
really
so
we
amended
the
Official
Plan
in
2018
to
allow
for
the
residential
uses
based
on
the
approved
site
plan
from
2010,
which
essentially
was
permitting
residential
uses.
The
site
was
originally
planned
to
be
a
retire
and
Place
community,
with
many
of
the
units
actually
being
not
in
institutional
use
but
residential
uses.
So
we
reflected
that.
C
So
the
Official
Plan
amendment
is
intended
to
go
forward
to
allow
for
that
to
happen.
The
related
zoning
bylaw
would
also
recognize
that
these
parcels
could
be
carved
up
at
some
point
in
the
future.
Both
the
Official
Plan
and
the
zoning
bylaw.
Don't
specifically
direct
this
to
happen,
but
it's
to
allow
for
it
to
happen.
We
also
have
a
common
elements:
condominium
application
that
we've
held
a
public
meeting
for
last
month
and
where,
once
the
Official
Plan
and
zoning
bylaw
is
in
place,
we
then
can
consider
draft
approval
for
the
common
elements.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
Julian.
So
now
we
can
go
to
and
then
we
can
take
question
to
staff
after
that
to
a
speaker.
So,
as
a
speaker
number
one
is
Walter
hotel,
sorry
Walter.
We
asked
you
earlier,
but
my
policy.
We
should
wait
for
the
come
on
answer
and
you
have
five
minutes
to
address
the
committee.
Sir.
D
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
I'm,
one
of
the
lifeless
owners
of
one
of
the
units
that
you
are
on
the
south
end
of
on
the
north
end
of
the
property
I
speak
not
so
much
in
opposition
to
the
plan
because
we
welcome
it.
But
in
terms
of
timing,
we
asked
the
committee
to
postpone
the
discussion
under
our
life
leases
when
the
development
of
life
these
properties
is
finished.
The
owner
is
to
transfer
the
property
to
a
corporation
of
life.
D
D
In
the
operation
of
the
condominium
corporation,
the
owner
has
been
quite
opaque
about
meeting
with
lifeless
owners.
However,
he
has
asked
for
a
meeting
at
the
end
of
this
month
with
the
life
lease
owners
committee
to
discuss
these
issues
and
therefore
I
would
ask
for
a
postponement
for
a
month
or
two
of
a
decision
on
this
in
part
to
put
a
bit
of
pressure
on
behalf
of
the
150
people
or
so
who
who
live
in
these
units
with
the
owner.
D
D
B
After
you
will
be
representative
of
silver
maple
developments,
I'll
get
them
to
respond
to
some
of
the
comments
you
made.
Also
that
meeting
we
had
a
public
meeting
there
a
couple
weeks
ago,
where
silver
made
of
Elvis
was
there
myself,
city
staff,
and
we
committed
to
that
meeting
with
with
silver,
maple
and
I
know
that
in
in
the
past,
those
meetings
have
been
simply
between
the
owner
and
the
like
lease
holders.
So
I'm
gonna
participate
in
that
meeting
to
try
to
help
facilitate
that
discussion.
D
Think
I
think
all
of
us
want
to
see
this
finish
this
as
soon
as
possible.
However,
the
situation
is
complicated
by
the
fact
that
last
year
last
summer,
the
owner
indicated
that
he
would
not
deal
with
the
Committee
on
settling
it.
The
committee,
which
has
the
support
of
the
vast
majority
of
Ivy's
owners,
but
that
he
wants
to
negotiate
with
each
of
the
ninety-two
life.
These
owners,
individually,
which
we
as
a
community
feel
is,
is
a
totally
irrational
approach
right.
B
So
I
mean,
if
my
hopefully,
my
involvement
will
be
able
to
resolve
those
issues
and
and
get
both
sides
to
work
together
collaboratively.
So
we
don't
have
these
these
issues
and
these
misunderstandings,
and
also
just
the
the
sentiment,
the
negative
sentiment
from
from
yourself,
your
neighbors
towards
silver.even
12,
it's
cuz
I,
don't
that's
not
productive
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
figure
out
how
we
can
get
through
that.
Let's.
A
E
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
chair
members,
the
committee,
my
name
is
bill.
Holzman
we're
the
planning
consultants
for
the
proponent,
which
is
it's
called
samara
square.
It's
silver,
maples
developments
and
I
have
with
me
Erin
excuse
me:
Erin
Kyle,
who's,
a
representative
that
and
can
possibly
address
some
of
the
the
other
issues
that
the
the
previous
speaker
and
maybe
committee
members
have.
So.
First
of
all,
as
the
chair
pointed
out,
staff
pointed
out.
This
is
an
application
for
to
allow
for
the
creation
of
individual
blocks
of
land.
E
So
nothing
would
change
with
this
as
well,
because
the
intention
here
is
when
the
land
is
subdivided
all
of
those
common
elements,
particularly
the
communal
water,
is
still
going
to
be
owned
by
one
entity.
That's
that's
silver
maples,
so
nothing
changes
there,
but,
as
the
previous
speaker,
staff
pointed
out,
the
property
is
one,
and
so
there
is
obviously
a
historical
nature
of
it.
E
There's
infrastructure
in
the
ground,
there's
92
life
lease
there's
a
building
that,
fortunately,
because
of
the
actions
of
this
committee
and
council
two
years
ago,
was
able
to
be
fully
converted
to
an
apartment
building.
It's
fully
leased
and
there's
demand
for
more.
So
that
was
my
clients
very
appreciative
of
that
action.
You
took
a
year
or
two
ago,
but
but
because
it's
all
on
one
property,
it
is
extremely
difficult,
in
fact,
almost
impossible
and
Aaron
can
get
into
that.
E
How
you
finance
further
construction
when
you
have
it
on
one
property
and
in
fact
that
burden
would
be
passed
on
to
the
90
to
life
lease
as
part
of
that
construction
financing.
So
what
this
policy
allows
and
the
zoning
would
allow,
is
possibly
the
creation
of
different
blocks
of
land,
but
all
tied
together
to
that
common
system.
You
know
the
communal
systems,
so
we
believe
it's
a
win-win
in
terms
of,
and
really
where
I'm
gonna
be.
E
E
Buildings
started
to
be
built,
they're,
left,
unfinished
and
really
through
the
actions
of
my
client
over
the
last
couple
years,
he's
been
able
to
start
to
move
it
forward
and
made
progress,
but
this
the
approval
of
the
Opie
Opie
and
zoning
would
enable
them
to
move
that
that
next
step
and
I
can
assure
you
and
your
legal
staff
will
assure
you
that,
through
the
subdivision
of
the
land
through
the
economy,
that
these
people
will
be
protected
forever
in
perpetuity,
they
will
have
the
same
rights
and
obligations.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Aaron.
E
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
Horton
and
I
would
like
to
restrict
our
question
to
what's
on
the
front
of
us
today.
So
what's
on,
the
front
of
us
today
is
approval
of
proposed
modification
to
the
official
plan
amendment
and
the
zone,
and
so
any
question
comes
from
office.
You
said
you
have
some
question
I,
do
you
want
to
say
something?
We
still
have
couple
of
minutes
left.
You
want
to
speak
to.
F
I
think
I
think
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
bill
said
that
for
us
this.
This
OPA
amendment
allows
us
to
move
the
development
forward
at
the
moment
with
92
life
leases
tied
to
the
single
parcel
of
land.
No
major
financial
institution
is
interested
in
providing
any
of
funding
just
because
they
they
see
those
92
life,
lease
interests
as
being
a
risk
to
them
so
being
able
to
sever
the
property
into
smaller
parcels
will
allow
us
to
put
the
appropriate
funding
in
place
for
each
phase
of
the
project
and
be
able
to
move
it
forward.
B
Thanks,
so
just
if
you,
if
you
bear
with
me
because
I
it
is
a
bit,
it
is
not
directly
pertaining
to
this,
but
it
is
pertaining
to
a
comment
that
the
previous
speaker
made
was
just
about
the
this
leads
to
the
ability
to
set
up
the
common
elements
corporation
condo
corporation,
which
is
concurrent,
be
happening
right
now.
The
comment
about
the
board,
the
makeup
of
the
board
and
the
notion
that
the
ninety-two
leaf
lice
life
lease
holders
won't
have
status
on
the
board.
Can
you
just
comment
on
that?
Yeah.
F
So
when,
when
the
condominium
will
be
registered,
if
it
is
registered
at
that
time,
we
would
still
own
all
the
parcels
of
land,
so
there,
the
92
life
lease
holders
at
the
moment
that
the
condo
would
be
registered
would
not
have
representation
on
that
board,
because
we
are
the
sole
owners
of
all
the
parcels
of
land,
but
what
it
does
allow
for
is
in
the
future.
What
the
previous
speaker
was
talking
about,
conveyance
of
a
line
of
land
to
the
90
to
life.
Lease
holders
is
possible.
Now
that
is
a
process
that
we
look
to.
F
You
know
cross
and
and
discuss
with
them
at
the
appropriate
time.
But
at
the
moment
it's
not
possible
to
do
that,
because
we
aren't
able
to
sever
the
land.
So
when
the
condo
is
registered,
we
would
be
representing
all
parcels
and
therefore
hold
all
representation
on
the
condo
board,
but
it
allows
for
the
future
for
the
90
to
life
lease
holders
to
be
able
to
be
represented
on
that
condo,
if,
if
and
when
they
are
transferred
their
land.
B
F
Not
that
I'm,
aware
of
I
mean
we
can
speak
to
our
legal
representative,
but
basically
the
the
way
the
community
is
set
up.
Now
it
won't
change.
We
have
overall
say
over
the
entire
water
infrastructure
how
it
stands
today
that
won't
change
when
the
condo
is
registered,
but
it
allows
it
to
change
these
92
life
lease
holders
own
the
right
to
lease
or
live
in
in
their
units
in
perpetuity,
but
as
the
owner
of
the
property
we
owned
all
the
parcels
of
tide
land,
but
going
forward
legs
we've
always
said
with
to
their
community.
F
We
are
committed
to
having
discussions.
They've
always
told
us
that
their
hope
is
to
one
day
own
the
property
that
their
life
leases
are
on
and
we're
committed
to
doing
that.
But
that
is
going
to
be
further
discussions
down
the
road
when
what
and
at
that
time
they
would
be
able
to
have
representation
on
a
condo
board
as
well
as,
if
anything
was
ever
sold
in
the
future,
that
whoever
would
be
purchasing
that
parcel
land
would
have
representation
on
that
condo
board
does.
F
A
Any
other
question
to
the
presenter:
okay,
both
of
you
Aaron
and
mr.
Hausman.
Thank
you
very
much
folks.
So,
what's
on
the
front
of
us
again,
I
would
like
to
read
it
that
item
number
one
that
Agriculture
and
Rural
Affairs
Committee
recommend
cancel
a
approved.
The
proposed
modification
to
the
Official
Plan
for
61
39
and
6143
Percy
Street
to
permitted
future
parcel
or
Lord
creation
service
by
the
existing
private
communal
water
system
that
owned
and
operated
by
one
owner,
as
detailed
in
document
to
be
approved.
A
A
We
were
a
little
bit
of
flexible
with
the
presenters
to
talk
about
the
condo
and
the
country
and
councillor
Moffat
to
calm
self,
also
to
clarify
some
of
those
area,
but
what's
on
the
front
for
us
is
not
about
the
condo
fees
about
the
amendment
to
the
Official
Plan
and
the
zone
so
but
Castle
Moffitt.
You
have
a
comment
to
me.
Yeah.
B
It
was
a
community
with
with
92
individual
units
where
they
own
the
unit,
but
they
don't
own
the
land
and
then
five
more
buildings,
north
of
that
with
one
access
point
on
private
road
system
on
one
communal
wealth
system:
it's
it's
not
a
great
plan.
I!
Don't
you
know,
I
financially,
I,
don't
think
the
plan
was
even
viable,
which
is
why
it
went
bankrupt
in
the
in
the
end.
The
current
owner
has
has
acquired
the
property
from
receivership
and
is
trying
to
work
through
it.
B
But
in
the
meantime
the
community
is
health,
hasta
J,
a
five-story
unfinished
concrete.
You
know
mass
that
sits
in
the
middle
of
town,
the
tallest
structure
in
town
and
unfinished
hideousness.
That's
been
staying
there
for
ten
years.
So
it's
it's
challenging
because
there's
there's
a
lot
to
this,
but
we
need
to
move
forward
on
this.
We
need
to
get
this.
You
know
we're
fortunate.
There
was
a
three-story
unfinished
building.
It's
now
finished.
It's
now
fully
occupied
it's
an
over
fifty-five
rental
facility
in
town
which
is
needed.
B
The
next
two
buildings
are
retirement
residences,
which
is
needed
in
the
village
of
Richmond.
So
we
need
these
buildings
finished,
but
there's
other
concerns
that
need
to
be
addressed
at
the
same
time
and
I
committed
to
doing
that,
and
hopefully
solar,
maybe
development
committed
to
working
with
me
on
that
to
help
for
the
existing
residents
that
live
there.
A
E
/
comment:
/
question.
My
sense
and
reading
from
this
report
is
I,
don't
know
whether
it
came
from
the
applicant
or
staff,
but
some
creativity
around
solving
some
of
the
problems
that
councillor
Moffitt's
alluded
to,
and
maybe
some
flexibility
from
staff,
as
well,
as
you
know,
being
open
to
well
focus
on
finding
a
solution
to
a
problem.
I
guess
my
question
was:
it
is
complex
and
complicated
just
around
the
municipal
responsibility
as
it
has
to
do
with
the
with
the
with
the
with
the
well.
E
Is
there
precedence
for
that
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
or
within
Ontario
I'm,
just
trying
to
make
sure
we
understand,
as
a
committee
I
think,
you've
mitigated
the
risk,
but
is
this
based
on
you
know
a
previous
similar
situation
where
this
kind
of
an
ownership
structure?
This
kind
of
this
kind
of
approach
has
been
used
to
mitigate
the
risk
of
the
city's
responsibility,
as
it
has
to
do
with
the
private.
Well.
C
So
the
municipal
responsibility
agreement
is
I,
guess
not
common
in
Ottawa,
but
it
it
has
occurred
in
a
number
of
other
situations
where
we
have
sort
of
a
multiple
unit
scenario,
for
example,
most
of
the
mobile
home
parks.
We
have
municipal
responsibility
agreements
with
or
are
attempting
to
get
municipal
responsibility
agreements
with.
There's
some
retirement
homes.
I
can't
remember
the
name
it
used.
It
used
to
be
called
Orchard
View
on
manitech
Station
Road.
E
C
Yeah
I'll,
maybe
start
by
commenting
in
I've,
been
involved
in
the
majority
of
the
municipal
responsibility
agreements
in
some
way
or
another
in
the
city.
We've
not
had
to
go
in
and
actually
follow
up
on
them
in
terms
of
calling
in
the
monies.
So
we've
been
involved
in
them,
some
of
them
well
over
20
years
and
have
had
no
issues.
Ministry
has
issued
a
few
orders
against
some
of
the
septic
or
well
systems,
but
the
owners
have
gone
in
and
made
those
repairs
and
replacements
as
needed.
Okay,.
G
G
If
the
city
had
to
go
in
each
of
these
systems,
although
private
have
to
meet
a
certain
municipal
standard
so
that
if
we
were
ordered
to
take
them
over,
we
do
have
the
ability
to
go
in
and
operate
them
appropriately
and
any
replacements
and
upgrades
that
are
done
are
done
at
the
city's
request,
so
that
it
meets
our
municipal
infrastructure.
If
we
did
have
to
come
in
okay.
H
As
part
of
today's
presentation,
Jeff
Daniels
increasingly
compete
for
investment,
talent
and
quality
of
life.
It's
important
that
economic
development
efforts
are
focused
and
that
the
tools
and
supports
are
in
place
to
enable
this
growth.
To
achieve
this,
the
city's
approach
to
economic
development
is
centered
upon
four
areas
of
focus
which
include
knowledge-based
industries,
urban
services
and
mean
streets,
tourism
and
creative
industries
and,
of
course,
the
rural
economy.
H
Just
a
reminder
later
this
year
we
will
be
coming
forward
to
fedko
with
an
updated
economic
development
strategy
that
will
include
a
geographic
lens
or
overlay
in
addition
to
the
areas
of
the
focus
I
just
mentioned.
So
this
update
will
highlight
economic
development
opportunities
in
different
areas
of
the
city,
with
today's
rural
strategy
providing
the
approach
for
rural
Ottawa.
H
Lastly,
before
I
pass
the
presentation
over
to
Jeff
de
and
Loren
I'd
like
to
highlight
that
our
economic
development
staff
have
been
and
continue
to
work
closely
and
extensively
with
planning
staff
to
align
this
strategy
with
the
new
Official
Plan
process,
including
the
recently
approved
preliminary
policy
directions,
turn
it
over
to
Jeff
Damon.
Thank.
I
You
then,
the
strategy
was
the
following:
a
three
phase
process
that
look
at
or
we
are
now.
Where
do
we
want
to
go
and
how
do
we
get
there?
The
first
phase
was
an
analysis
of
the
local
and
broader
regional
and
provincial
economy.
This
resulted
in
research
that
assessed
the
economic
performance
of
rural
Ottawa
against
a
range
of
socio-economic
criteria
combined
with
business
in
industry.
Data
consideration
was
also
giving
to
reports,
studies
and
strategies
that
would
have
an
impact
on
economic
development
in
rural
or
our.
I
This
was
combined
with
an
inventory
of
community
assets
such
as
education,
Arts
and
Culture
recreation
in
the
natural
environment.
The
results
of
this
research
were
then
used
to
inform
stakeholder
discussions
and
to
conduct
osore
strengths
opportunities
aspirations
results
in
risk
assessment
through
stakeholder
engagement
efforts.
The
second
phase
of
the
strategy
sought
to
answer
the
question:
where
do
we
want
to
go
giving
the
importance
of
seeking
input
and
developing
an
informed
strategy?
An
extensive
consultation
process
was
undertaken.
I
Stakeholder
engagement
efforts,
included,
one-on-one
interviews
and
small
group
discussions
with
key
community
stakeholders.
Business
leaders,
economic
development
partners,
elected
officials
and
senior
management
for
community
workshops
were
listed
in
June
2019,
one
of
each
of
the
rule
wards
in
an
and
also
we
did
under
the
electronics
Community
Survey.
We
also
had
a
random
sample
telephone-based
survey
with
rural
businesses.
I
J
Thank
You
Jeff
day
on
behalf
of
M,
to
be
inside
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
here
today,
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
that's
been
done
by
our
team
and
a
n
conjunction
with
the
staff
from
the
City
of
Ottawa.
The
slide
in
front
of
you
provides
a
snapshot
summary
of
the
rural
economy
for
the
City
of
Ottawa.
As
you
know,
rola
Ottawa
comprises
approximately
10%
of
the
city's
population
and
makes
up
about
80%
of
the
city's
land
area,
one
of
the
largest
rural
areas
of
any
municipality
in
the
country.
J
This
makes
Ottawa
unique,
particularly
in
terms
of
the
rural
areas
interconnectedness
to
the
urban
core
and
the
ability
to
access
the
products,
services
and
consumer
market
that
the
large
city
offers
I
won't
go
through
each
number
on
the
slide,
but
I
do
want
to
highlight
a
number
of
factors.
Firstly,
the
rural
economy
makes
a
significant
contribution
to
ottawa's
economy,
with
approximately
1
billion
in
GDP.
The
primary
sectors
are
construction,
agriculture,
agribusiness
and
tourism
and,
in
addition,
rural
Ottawa
also
provides
significant
locations
for
manufacturing
for
warehousing
as
well
as
retail
and
more.
J
J
Approximately
60%
of
all
the
farms
in
Ottawa
are
involved
in
crop
production,
largely
corn
and
soybean,
while
the
other
40%
are
geared
towards
animal
farming
and
production.
The
rural
population
base
has
grown
about
18
percent,
sorry
8
percent
over
recent
years,
and
while
this
might
not
be
as
significant
as
what
the
city
has
experienced
overall,
it
is
nonetheless
particularly
competitive
and
higher
than
what
we
see
in
the
balance
of
rural
Eastern
Ontario.
J
Approximately
10
percent
of
the
city's
immigrant
population
is
rural
and
again,
while
the
rural
area
has
less
immigration
than
the
city
as
a
whole,
the
proportion
of
immigrants
is
nor
too,
notably
higher
than
what
we
see
in
the
balance
of
rural
Eastern
Ontario.
For
us,
this
highlights
Ottawa's
rural
lifestyle
and
other
factors
like
access
to
employment
opportunities,
both
rural
and
urban,
and
the
strong
appeal
that
this
has
to
new
residents.
J
Overall
rural
Ottawa
strengths
point
to
a
strong
economic
foundation
during
the
last
slide,
I
touched
a
lot
on
the
significant
economic
contribution
of
rural
Ottawa,
the
role
workforce,
as
well
as
the
strong
appeal
of
the
rural
lifestyle,
but
I'd
like
to
add
that
the
area's
natural
assets,
in
addition
to
both
arts
and
cultural
assets,
raises
the
quality
of
life
for
rural
residents
and
the
quality
of
experience
from
residents
and
visitors
to
the
city.
Equally
important
local
pride
and
a
high
level
of
volunteerism
in
the
community
also
contributes
to
a
strong
lifestyle
appeal
specific
to
industries.
J
Rural
Ottawa
has
demonstrated
strengths
in
agriculture
agritourism,
as
well
as
professional,
scientific
and
emerging
creative
industries,
stakeholders
that
we
engage
through
the
process
point
to
an
emerging
rural
innovation
ecosystem,
particularly
in
the
agricultural
sector.
Ottawa
strong
educational
institutions,
a
nationally
designated
research
land
can
ensure
access
to
ink
evasion
and
commercialization
opportunities
targeted
to
local
industry
needs.
J
Despite
a
high
level
of
satisfaction
with
rural
Ottawa
as
a
place
to
own
and
operate
a
business.
As
with
anything,
there
is
a.
There
is
opportunity
for
improvement
throughout
the
strategies.
Various
engagement
efforts.
It
became
clear,
there's
a
limited
knowledge
of
business
support
programming.
Many
businesses
surveyed
lacked
awareness
of
programs
available
to
them,
highlighting
the
opportunity
to
increase
both
awareness
and
the
uptake
of
existing
and
future
economic
development
programming
on
investment
readiness.
The
rural
areas
account
for
approximately
50
percent
of
the
city's
vacant,
industrial
and
employment
areas
in
the
form
of
business
parks.
J
These
lands
serve
industries
like
warehousing
construction
and
storage,
and
certain
types
of
manufacturing
do
not
require
servicing
well
plentiful
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
land
rural
Ottawa
may
be
at
a
disadvantage.
In
our
opinion,
in
attracting
future
investment
compared
to
surrounding
areas
that
have
municipally-owned
and
service
industrial
lands
and
business
parks
specific
to
broadband.
J
Turning
to
housing.
Rural
Ottawa
is
largely
characterized
by
single-family
detached
homes
and
while
some
higher
density
options
exist,
they
are
available
only
in
fewer.
In
a
few
of
the
larger
villages,
limited
housing
options
make
it
difficult
to
attract
and
sustain
a
diverse
population
and
workforce
and,
for
example,
new
Canadians
and
young
workers
may
experience
challenges
living
in
the
rural
communities,
given
a
lack
of
housing,
variety
and
rental
options,
any
efforts
to
increase
the
variety
of
housing
options
should
take
into
consideration
current
limits
with
servicing
the
lack
of
servicing
and
most
of
the
rural
villages
means.
J
J
Building
on
the
strengths
and
the
opportunities
discuss,
the
strategy
provides
a
framework
and
a
roadmap
to
guide
rural
economic
development
efforts.
It's
also
intended
to
position
Ottawa
as
a
national
leader
in
rural
economic
development,
in
particular
a
leader
in
the
urban
suburban
rural
dynamic,
as
I
walk
you
through
the
strategy
and
the
action
plan
highlights
in
the
next
few
slides.
You
will
note
that
the
strategy
is
comprehensive,
extends
well
beyond
a
traditional
agricultural
approach
and
certainly
looks
to
integrate
the
efforts
of
economic
development
within
the
broader
administration
of
the
city.
J
More
specifically,
the
strategy
focus
it's
on
five
strategic
priorities.
This
includes
a
supportive
business
environment,
a
vibrant
rural
lifestyle,
a
strengthened
rural
tourism
position,
innovation
in
agriculture
and
agri-food
production
and
advocating
for
rural
priorities.
Each
priority
is
accompanied
by
associated
actions
to
be
delivered
over
the
immediate
short
and
long
term.
The
action
plan,
while
ambitious,
is
intended
to
be
delivered
collaboratively
by
the
city
and
partners
like
Ottawa
tourism.
J
Earlier
I,
spoke
about
the
limited
knowledge
on
programming
for
rural
businesses.
The
purpose
of
this
first
priority
is
to
create
a
supportive
business
environment
to
ensure
continued
economic
growth
and
sustainability.
A
supportive
business
environment
enhances
the
creation
and
growth
of
small
and
medium
businesses
and
supports
entrepreneurship.
To
do
this,
some
of
the
highlighted
immediate
actions
proposed
include
enhancing
the
RPP
grant
program
to
increase
economic
development
outcomes,
developing
a
rural
business
tool,
kit
that
includes
information
on
programming
grants
and
economic
data
and
providing
information
sessions
to
promote
the
toolkit.
J
Any
increased
program
awareness
as
well.
It
proposes
identifying
opportunities
for
business
investment
and
developing
marketing
materials
to
encourage
investment.
The
second
priority,
a
vibrant
rural
lifestyle,
was
identified
to
leverage
and
communicate
rural
Ottawa's
strengths
and
opportunities,
as
well
as
to
address
challenges
around
housing,
diversity,
broadband
talent,
etc,
specifically,
staff
in
the
innovative
client
services
department
and
conducting
a
study
of
Ottawa's
connectivity
landscape
and
are
looking
at
ways
to
address
inequalities
of
broadband
and
reliability.
J
The
strategy
also
looks
at
ways
of
increasing
awareness
of
the
rural
lifestyle
and
economic
opportunities
by
engaging
in
storytelling
through
social
media
and
other
means
by
profiling,
successful
rural
businesses
and
entrepreneurs
and
by
facilitating
familiarization
tours
with
immigrant
settlement
agencies.
The
third
priority
is
a
strengthened
rural
tourism
position.
Rural
Ottawa
provides
distinctive
tourism
experiences
for
those
visiting
the
city
city,
as
well
as
for
its
residents
well.
Downtown
sites
and
experiences
are
well
known
to
travelers.
J
There
is
an
opportunity
to
further
highlight
what
rural
Ottawa
offers,
including
museums,
wineries,
breweries,
natural
landscape,
cycling
and
many
more
to
do
this.
The
strategy
proposes
working
with
villages
to
define
and
market
their
tourism
offerings
to
explore
opportunities
to
showcase
rural
tourism
experiences
and
to
present
Ottawa's
place
DNA
to
rural
stakeholders.
Ottawa's
place
DNA
as
I'm
sure
you're
aware,
is
a
partnership
between
the
city
and
Ottawa
tourism
that
defines
ottawa's
place
brand
and
provides
tool
to
businesses
and
stakeholders
on
how
best
to
use
and
promote
the
brand.
J
Lastly,
another
action
I
would
like
to
highlight
is
to
engage
with
tourism
providers
and
entrepreneurs
as
ottawa's
tourism
destination
development
fund,
which
encourage
the
creation
of
new
attractions
events,
festivals
and
experiences.
Innovation
in
agriculture
and
agri-food
production
is
the
fourth
strategic
priority.
It
emerged
as
a
key
consideration
during
the
engagement
phase
of
the
strategy.
Innovation
in
agriculture
allows
farmers
to
deploy
technology
to
stay,
competitive
and
increase
economic
viability
over
the
long
term.
Ottawa
is
well-positioned
to
advanced
opportunities
in
this
area,
given
the
prevalence
of
the
city's
technology-based
industries
and
post-secondary
institutions.
J
Another
action
is
to
look
to
new
ways
to
strengthen
marketing
efforts,
focus
on
by
local
and
farm-to-table
initiatives.
The
last
and
final
priority
speaks
to
advocating
for
rural
priorities
here
for
an
example,
and
an
action
of
the
strategy
looks
to
address
limitations
around
access
to
strategic
funding
programs
offered
by
other
level
of
levels
of
government
for
innovation,
youth
employment
that,
while
available
the
surrounding
municipalities,
are
not
available
to
rural
Ottawa,
making
this
a
somewhat
uneven
playing
field
beyond
the
immediate
actions
I
spoke
to,
there
are
short
and
longer-term
actions.
J
The
strategy
that
are
also
important
to
highlight.
For
example,
there
are
several
municipalities
that
have
implemented
innovative
rural
CIP
programs
that
advance
everything
from
fiber,
Main
streets,
agribusiness
opportunities
and
arm
farm
diversified
uses
moving
forward.
The
strategy
proposes
investigating
the
use
of
these
types
of
CIP
to
see
if
there
would
be
applicability
to
the
City
of
Ottawa.
J
Lastly,
the
strategy
recommends
developing
planning
policies
that
enable
rural
economic
development,
such
as
expanding
the
definition
of
home-based
businesses,
providing
for
more
diverse
housing
options,
providing
consideration
to
new
tourism
development
opportunities
and
ensuring
that
on-farm,
diversified
uses
and
value-added
production
include
the
use
of
off-site
materials
to
support
increased
production
of
broad
of
a
broad
range
of
good,
as
well
as
supporting
uses
such
as
wineries,
breweries
event,
space
and
restaurants
there,
as
was
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation
aligned
with
the
official
plans,
preliminary
policy
directions.
I'll
pass
this
back
to
Geoff
T.
Now.
I
I
We
will
will
be
brought
forward
through
the
budget
approval
process,
an
annual
update
on
the
strategy
implementation
progress
will
be
reported
as
part
of
this
bring
us
to
the
end
of
the
presentation,
but
before
we
conclude,
I
would
like
to
accelerate
thanks
to
all
the
rules:
stakeholders,
including
world
counselors,
for
participating
in
the
strategies,
engagement
process
and
providing
us
with
feedback
and
input
during
its
development.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
to
the
whole
team.
It's
not
just
for
today.
Actually,
for
all
your
effort
and
engaging
and
visiting
the
rural
area
and
I
see,
they
didn't
take
picture
of
dawn
with
a
beer
in
his
hand
from
one
of
the
visit
that
it's
really
is
uplifting
to
you
to
see
this
other
than
even
with
my
glasses.
I
cannot
read
those
numbers
so
something
about
it's
not
about
my
eyes
about
these
numbers
to
be
enlarged.
A
We
do
we
do
I
know
the
some
of
our
folks
need
to
have
some
question,
but
we
do
have
a
speaker,
two
speakers
now
sorry
well,
one
we
are
familiar
with
I
think
that's
Roddy
Bolivar
he's
the
executive
director
of
the
Karp
Road
corridor.
We
like
to
call
him
as
one
of
our
partner,
because
we
we've
been
working
with
Roddy
for
quite
some
times,
and
one
bride
is
coming
their
way.
Roddy
have
five
minutes
to
address
the
committee,
and
also
we
have
the
next
speaker
is
Phil
Phil.
Now
her
mom,
just
food
I,
believe.
G
Good
morning
my
name
is
Wayne
French
and
I'm,
a
director
with
the
with
the
BIA
copper
old
quarter
BIA.
We
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
with
me.
Today
is
Reilly
Belvoir,
as
the
chair
has
pointed
out,
he's
our
executive
director,
the
Curt
Road
corridor
is
located
in
Ottawa's
rural
West
End
just
past
the
Canadian
Tire
Center
and
is
the
largest
concentration
of
employment
in
rural
Ottawa.
If
this
new
and
landmark
economic
development
strategy
is
to
be
considered
successful,
it
has
to
be
successful
in
our
corridor.
G
The
strategy
helps
bring
some,
though
perhaps
not
enough
attention
that
employment
and
economic
development
in
Ottawa
very
large
rural
area
is
much
more
than
tourism
and
agriculture.
Our
light
industry
and
manufacturing
area
is
home
to
over
4,000
employees
and
over
300,
mostly
SMI
scale
businesses
and
in
some
ways
the
corridor
is
one
of
Ottawa's
largest
villages.
G
K
Thanks
Wayne
and
thank
you
I'd
like
to
reiterate:
Wayne's
thanks
in
particular
to
Jeff
T,
a
very,
very
responsive
and
and
also
to
Lauren
and
her
team.
The
project
went
really
well
for
us.
We've
reviewed
the
actions
listed
in
the
plan.
There's
lots
of
actions
in
there
I'd
like
to
bring
attention
to
some
of
the
ones
that
we
see
us,
jumping
in
and
and
helping
you
implement,
Amy
and
and
also
the
immediate
actions
I'm.
Just
going
to
comment
on
those
1.1
1.2
speaks
to
development,
dissemination
of
business
information.
K
In
her
talk
the
most
of
our
members
we
like
to
differentiate
between
rural
businesses
and
businesses
in
rural
Ottawa
I
think
we
have
many
businesses
that
you
might
call
rural
businesses,
but
really
most
of
our
businesses.
Our
business
is
located
in
rural
Ottawa
and
most
of
those
businesses
do
a
good
chunk
of
their
their
business
with
urban
Ottawa
in
urban
Ottawa.
K
Certainly
an
important
one
is
transportation
efficiency,
for
instance,
immediate
action
4.3.2
is
listed
under
the
agriculture
section,
speaks
to
the
edge
conflicts
between
agriculture
and
development,
and
we
have
those
same
conflicts
with
our
manufacturing
lead
industry
and
the
like
to
propose
that
as
the
city
moves
forward
to
look
at
those
edge
conflicts,
they
don't
just
look
at
agriculture.
They
look
at
the
light
industry
ringg.
We
don't
really
have
dirty
businesses
in
Ottawa.
K
We
don't
really
have
smokestacks,
but
but
there
have
been
issues
in
the
corridor
about
about
how
close
the
urban
boundary
is
coming
and
those
things
so
we'd
like
to
encourage
those
to
be
included
in
that
edge
discussion.
I
mean
the
action
4.4.2
again
under
agriculture,
speaks
to
promoting
the
agri-food
sector
and
also
the
issue
of
distribution,
and
our
area
is
already
a
hub
of
food
and
and
distribution
with
companies
like
I,
tell
foods
and
other
logistics
organizations
in
our
area.
So
we
feel
Canada
breads,
another
big
one.
K
We
our
members,
have
some
expertise
in
understanding
the
the
food
sector
not
necessary
Agra,
but
the
food
sector
and
the
distribution
challenges,
and
the
other
thing
we
do
have
is
a
large
landmass.
We
we
regret,
we
didn't
get
Amazon
as
a
logistics
center,
but
we
have
landmass
that
can
serve
and
certainly
for
food.
Our
location
close
to
the
rural
environment,
I
think
we
could
help
that
we
all
some
of
you
may
know
that.
There's
a
business
in
the
village
of
carb.
K
Now
that
is
milling
grain
again
and
is
a
booming
business,
and
so
we're
seeing
that
sector,
including
the
processing
and
distribution.
Evolving
in
the
corridor,
many
of
the
action
items
to
be
implemented
in
the
future
also
great
important
to
us,
one
in
particular,
and
listed
not
short-term,
not
medium-term,
but
long
term
is
improving.
The
development
approvals
process
and
economic
development
are
we're
not
a
retail
area.
Economic
development.
A
K
My
final
point
is,
as
we
would
like
to
propose
that
the
city
establish
an
implementation
committee
which
includes
a
handful
of
business
owners.
I,
think
all
of
you
and
and
the
team
has
met
a
number
of
of
business
owners
in
rural
Ottawa,
not
just
the
quarter,
who
would
have
ideas
and
insight
and
since
the
census
Lauren
said,
there's
a
lot
of
priorities.
There
we'd
be
very
happy,
and
some
of
our
members
would
be
happy
if
an
implementation
committee
was
formed
and
we
continue
to
be
involved
as
the
project
moves
forward.
Thanks
very
much.
L
A
comment
but
I
want
to
thank
you
also
for
your
brief
presentation
and
I
want
to
thank
Wayne
also
for
being
here.
I
know
that
it's
been
a
long
time
with
me
seeing
this
work
coming,
and
it's
been
it's
nice
to
see
it
translated
right
now,
specifically
in
rural
businesses
and
rural
economy
and
I,
want
to
appreciate
all
the
work
you
and
your
your
input
through
the
carp
corridor,
BIA
and
other
rural
business
association
that
we've
been
working
with
I
know
that
I
can
recognize
Deanna
Parisi,
our
us
good,
workmen's
association.
L
Also
here
and
they've,
been
I,
know
the
collaboration
and
those
good
conversation
that's
been
happening.
It's
actually
translating
and
we're
very
happy
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
the
hard
work
you've
done,
and
you
know
what
I
did
get
briefed
on
the
presentation
and
I
had
some
feedback
in
it,
but
I
appreciate
all
the
work.
L
You've
done
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
these
are
the
kind
of
presentations,
and
these
are
the
kind,
the
immediate
action
that
we
see
in
coming
or
other
portaits,
at
least
we're
moving
forward,
stop
and
to
the
right
direction.
In
rural
era,
but
I'm
really
disappointed
with
what
our
chair
that
he
never
mentioned
that
the
snowmobile
industry,
it's
really
big
contribution
in
our
little
industry,
specifically
in
restaurants
and
hotels,
so
I
just
want
to
bring
this
to
the
barista
mentioned.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
I
appreciate
I.
A
A
K
Thanks
for
mentioning
the
zoning,
because
the
the
BIA
formed
in
2011
and
at
formation,
many
of
the
members
saw
extension
of
municipal
water
into
the
business
areas
as
an
economic
development
priority,
and
we've
continued
to
hear
that
over
the
past
eight
years.
But
I
can
say
over
the
past
couple
of
years
what
I've
heard
more
and
more
at
the
door.
I
already
mentioned
the
development
approvals
process,
whether
it's
become
more
difficult,
certainly
in
the
court
or
what
we're
seeing
is
a
lot
of
the
existing
severed.
K
Lots
are
getting
used
up
and
so
there's
there's
pressure
to
expand
and
develop.
There's
there's
one
subdivision.
Unfortunately,
it's
been
in
in
for
approvals
for
five
years
and
so
the
development
approvals
I,
think
and
I
mentioned
that
earlier,
and
there
is
an
action
item
to
look
at
that,
but
it's
it's
in
the
long
term,
the
other.
So
so,
certainly
as
I
said,
our
evidence
of
economic
development
area
is
locked
creation
and
new
buildings
and
we
see
those
new
buildings.
K
Many
of
them
are
under
six
hundred
square
meters
because
of
fire
code
that
brings
up
our
municipal
water.
What
I,
often
they're
kind
of
small
buildings,
and
what
I
would
say
were
were
Ottawa's
largest
rural
employment
area.
Yet
because
of
approvals
we
heard
about
finance
and
earlier
also
we
don't
seem
to
be
able
to
attract
the
largest
businesses
and
then
but
I
think
with
the
logistics
sector.
That's
gonna
change.
We
have
lots
of
opportunity,
but
even
a
little
bit
bigger
than
just
a
mom-and-pop
operation.
We
have
lots
of
people
coming.
K
They
look
at
property,
they
hear
they're
four
to
five
years
away
from
opening
their
doors.
They
go
somewhere
else
and
I.
Think
the
second
one
that's
really
been
hammering
home
for
the
past
couple
of
years.
Some
of
the
things
Lauren
said
affect
this,
but
it's
finding
employees
and
then
that's
industry.
That's
that
sector
wide,
that's
across
all
sectors
and
and
unfortunately,
some
perspective
on
across
all
sectors.
K
The
available
employees
tend
to
be
attracted
to
attractive
jobs,
high
paying
jobs,
and
so
if
there
is
an
employment
deficit,
the
late
industry
of
trades
is
feeling
a
little
bit
more,
possibly
than
the
tech
sector.
You
know,
there's
lots
of
kids
that
want
to
go
into
tech.
I
often
say
to
my
kanata
north
friends:
if
they
can
find
the
30,000
people,
they
say
they
need
they're,
actually
gonna
have
to
loan
them
to
us
first
and
we'll
put
them
in
trades
jobs
to
build
the
new
buildings.
K
They're
gonna
need
and
also
build
the
homes
those
30,000
employees
are
gonna
going
to
need
to
live
in,
and
so
I
see
a
little
bit
in
this
economic
develop
strategy,
not
necessarily
the
actions,
but
in
the
background
and
challenges
about
affordable
housing
about
it,
rental
finding
employees
about
getting
employees
to
work.
That
I
think
it
didn't
quite
make
it
into
specific
action
plans.
But
as
we
move
forward
and
talk
about
challenges,
there's
text
in
the
background
that
we
can
bring
forward
and
say
hey,
we
need
actions
working
on
those.
A
Want
to
agree,
but
I
have
to
disagree
because
some
of
the
approval
it
doesn't
take
four
or
five
years
and
some
of
it
does
they
but
depend
on
the
challenge
and
sometimes
depend
on
the
applicant
or
the
application.
We
we
move
quite
quite
a
bit
since
we
we
reform
our
zone
and
for
for
the
car
corridor.
We
move
quite
a
bit
when
I
took
Steve
Wallace
to
show
him
the
car
corridor.
He
said,
I,
don't
know
what
you're
talking
about.
There's
look
at
how
many
buildings
in
so
every
time
he
show
up.
A
A
One
of
the
folks
saying
to
us:
well,
if
you
bring
a
water,
so
what
we
do
with
that
story.
So
you
know
it's
a
catch-22
and
we're
trying
to
be
objective
and
work
with
what
we
have
available
to
us
and
our
general
manager
actually
politically
he's
acting
on
your
behalf
and
other,
and
we
have
to
City
in
Queens
part
trying
to
to
talk
to
them
a
little
bit
taking
away
the
communal
system.
We
talk
about.
A
They
talk
about
affordable
housing
in
or
more
housing,
and
the
only
way
you're
gonna
be
able
to
do
affordable
house
it's
going
to
be
in
a
rural
area
when
the
land,
still
you
know
relatively
affordable,
but
without
the
communal
system,
is
it's
not
going
to
be
affordable,
so
we're
working
on
those
it
but
I
mean,
but
we
have
quite
a
bit
to
be
cheering
about
like
we
have
the
different
bunker
who
receive
80
thousand
people
a
year.
Now?
A
A
How
could
you
make
that
happen
and
that's
what
I
was
hoping
the
business
community
can
offer
something
other
than
just
visit
like
Velma
visit
us,
but
leave
like
no
visit
us
but
stay
with
us
and
enjoy
dinner
or
something
so
I
think
that
that's
what
we
need
and
also
we
like
to
continue
working
with
the
other
folks
like
whether
a
skit
or
other
area
basket
baa,
because
we
need
to
form
that
rural,
what
we
need
and
how
could
we
make
it
happen
better?
But
I
now
ask
staff
after
I
just
want
stuff
to
think
about.
A
When
we
read
this,
we
have
so
many
wish
or
target
or
or
if
you
want
to
put
it
or
maybe
Lauren
can
answer
that
I
said
how
could
we
modify,
because
if
you
have
a
hundred
priority,
really
it's
not
a
priority
so
yeah
out
of
the
hundred
we
have
to
chip
on
say
no
five
is
first
or
ten
is
first
and
the
other
mine
is
so
I,
like
you
think
about
this.
After
because
we
do
have
another
presentation
and
if
there's
no
other
question
for
rowdy,
thank
you
very
much.
Both
mr.
M
Morning,
Thank
You,
chair
and
councillors,
my
name
is
Phil
Mount
and
I'm
speaking
as
associate
director
at
just
food.
We
wish
to
enthusiastically
support
Council
and
staffs
rural
economic
development
strategy
and
action
plan,
and
your
commitment
to
economic
opportunity
that
our
rural
area
represents
to
this
city.
M
However,
we
know
this
grant
program
through
this
new
strategic
priority
can
do
more.
Just
food
startup,
firm
and
new
roots
programs
have
made
viable
entry
points
for
new
Canadians,
with
both
agrarian
experience
and
interest
to
start
new
businesses
here
in
their
new
home
of
Ottawa,
the
Rural
Affairs
Partnership
Program
should
support
expansion
and
duplication
of
programs.
Like
this
as
well,
the
strategy
identifies
a
need
for
flexible
policies
to
support
small-scale,
an
innovative
agricultural
operations.
We're
asking
a
RAC
to
take
the
lead
in
applying
this
lens
throughout
all
departments
and
throughout
the
Official.
M
Plan
Iraq
is
the
champion
to
support
all
types
of
agriculture,
small
scale
and
large,
as
well
as
innovative
farm
and
food
processing
businesses,
ensuring
that
this
is
a
city
that
prioritizes
all
rural
assets.
We
need
a
strengthened
focus,
particularly
on
small
farm
businesses,
to
provide
much
needed
assistance
for
new
farmers
and
those
farmers
now
looking
to
find
farm
succession
solutions
and
want
their
farms
to
remain
intact.
M
M
It's
one
of
the
defining
features
of
Ottawa
and
we
ask
that
a
rack
councillors
identify
it
as
a
valuable
asset
to
the
city
and
protect
our
farmland.
During
the
march
30
vote
on
urban
expansion
holding
the
line
on
urban
and
rural
village
expansion
is
what
directs
resources
and
investment
towards
the
intensification
we
need
in
Ottawa
to
build
complete
communities
in
suburban
areas
and
rural
villages,
thus
ensuring
that
young
people
and
seniors
can
state
living
in
rural
villages
with
more
affordable
housing
and
work
options.
M
Saver
ottawa
develops,
promotes
and
leads
by
local
food
marketing
campaigns,
events
and
tours
targeted
to
suburban
and
urban
residents
and
tourists
alike.
The
newest
in
2020,
working
in
partnership
with
Eastern
Ontario
agri-food
network
and
all
of
the
counties
to
the
south
and
east
of
the
city,
we've
launched
an
art
and
farm
tour
which
will
run
Labor
Day
weekend,
bringing
tourists
and
tour
buses
to
more
than
100
host
farms,
orchards
and
vineyards.
Each
showcasing
rural
food,
art
and
craft
enterprises
throughout
each
Ward
in
rural
Ottawa
and
across
Eastern
Ontario.
M
A
You
very
much
Phil
and
on
behalf
the
committee
and
my
car
would
want
to
thank
you
for
for
your
participation.
It's
just
food.
We
work
with
you
in
the
past
and
your
group
and
and
we're
very
successful
with
the
farmers
market
specially
with
the
new
one
in
Lansdowne,
Park
and
another
area,
any
questions
all
thank
you
very
much
and
now
I'm
gonna
open
up
the
question.
Thank
you
for
and
now
we're
gonna
open
question
to
staff.
A
May
we
all
start
with
mr.
her
wired
right
now,
you've
been
on
tour.
You
visit
some
of
the
area
and
you
heard
both
the
presenter
and
I'm
sure.
That's
not
the
first
time
you
hear
from
them,
but
how?
How
could
we
the
priorities?
We
have
right
now
on
the
front
for
us
how?
How
could
we
take
it
and
and
say:
okay,
the
first
version
is
stand
priority.
We
need
to
work
on
temporary.
We
heard
about
broadband
challenge.
We
heard
about
transportation
in
the
rural
areas,
challenge.
A
Small
business
or
home-based
businesses
like
so
which,
which,
which
one
of
those
you're
gonna
take
first
to
say
we
can
do
these
because
we
heard
some
of
the
changes
were
made
in
the
past,
translate
to
a
positive
action,
and
you
know
when
we
modified
this
zone.
It
lets
young
corridor
and
you
know
we
work
with
the
business
with
the
would
occur
with
the
community
with
the
BAA
and
would
come
up
with
a
good
result,
and
so
far
it's
been
working
for
our
sins.
So
how
could
we
start
taking
this
plan?
One
piece
at
a
time.
H
Thank
You
Jer
holla
I'll,
ask
Shayla
the
way
in
after
my
opening
remarks,
but
certainly
we've
identified
short
medium
long
term
priorities
in
the
action
plan.
We're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
them
all,
but
you're
right,
I
think
we
have
to
focus
on.
You
know
what
we
can
achieve
in
the
short
term.
Some
of
them
are
underway
already
already
initiated
a
zoning
review
for
the
there's
diversified
on-farm
uses,
so
some
of
them
have
started
already
we're
certainly
happy
to
to
engage
with
the
rural
business
community,
as
mr.
H
Bolivar
indicated
we're
going
to
need
them
to
partner
with
us
to
find
solutions.
The
broadband
strategy,
for
instance,
is
underway.
Angela
Scanlon
is
here.
If
you
want
to
get
into
detail,
but
there'll
be
a
presentation,
I
think
in
April
the
IT
subcommittee,
so
a
lot
of
these
things
are
starting
are
moving
already.
Certainly
you
and
councillor
Moffat
are
with
the
Official
Plan
process,
and
you
know
our
direction
from
the
council
sponsors
group
and
you
know
staffs
commitment
to
protect
agricultural
land,
so
more
aligned
on
many
of
the
comments
we've
heard
already.
H
N
Absolutely
so
mr.
chair
I
think
Don
covered
most
of
it,
but
real
most
of
the
initial
actions
are
underway.
But
some
of
the
new
stuff
we'll
be
doing
this
year
is
around
the
business
support,
so
that
toolkit
that
Roddy
spoke
to
those
workshops
and
that
kind
of
work
that
isn't
underway
yet
the,
but
that
we
plan
to
do
this
year
and.
A
And
I'd
like
to
I
know
mr.
Mountain
asked
you
know
as
a
rural
or
at
the
coastal
community
should
protect
the
agriculture
lab,
where
I
can
assure
you
I
think
it's
not
a
one
meet
and
we
have.
We
don't
emphasize
our
to
staff
our
position
and
as
a
committee
or
as
an
individual
Council
we're
all
committee
protecting
our
agricultural
land,
so
I
just
had
to
put
that
in,
but
so
when
we
talk
about
the
15
minute
in
okay.
A
So
if
you
are
in
a
village
of
carp
which
is
I'm
so
familiar
with,
you
can
go,
we
can
walk
through
the
local
wrestle
and
you
can
walk
to
the
museum
if
you
wish,
or
they
can
go
for
a
walk
and
then
you
can
go
out
for
dinner,
so
it's
all
walkable
within
within
the
community,
and
we
focusing
more
about
this.
Are
we
emphasizing
I
mean
I
know
we
talked
about
you
know
going
to
auction.
Take
more
but
I
mean
sometimes
it's
unrealistic,
because
if
I
have
to
go
anywhere
in
a
rural
area,
it's
gonna.
A
H
Thank
you
I'm
sure,
so,
certainly
that's
a
that's.
Probably
the
biggest
priority
in
our
official
plan
is
to
how
to
make
our
communities,
whether
it
be
villages
or
suburban
greenfield
areas
or
her
more
urban
communities.
More
of
that
15
minute
neighborhood,
where
you
can
walk
to
you,
know
basic
services.
You
know
there
will
always
be
some
trips
outside
of
those
areas,
but
for
a
lot
of
the
day
to
day
you
know
your
your
food,
your
basic
needs
to
look
at
building
more
complete
neighborhoods
so
that
that
can
be
more
of
an
option.
H
Gets
people
off
offer
already
congested
roads,
we're
tying
that
to
transit.
Where
we
can
looking
at
you
know,
we
will
be
looking
at
changing
or
zoning
to
provide
more
opportunities.
For
you
know,
a
diverse
range
of
uses
improve
connectivity
in
in
some
of
our
villages.
You
know
carp
is
probably
ahead
of
a
number
of
our
villages
in
that
respect,
but
there's
room
for
improvement
across
the
city
in
that
regard,
and.
A
Yeah
so
on
the
action
I'm,
not
sure,
sir,
so
are
you
I
know
you're,
always
working
with
the
rural
councils.
You
call
us
out
we'll
call
you
your
briefing
it,
but
only
action
are
you
gonna
have
a
small
committee
working
together
to
prioritize,
but
what
we
think
should
we
go
first
or
or
had
like
I
mean?
How
could
we
help
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
because
we
have.
We
have
organization
whether
the
car
be
is,
or
the
car
village
be,
or
the
Oscar
business
or
other.
A
A
Not
just
have
the
rural
economic
development,
you
have
the
old
P,
it's
also
connect,
and
then
we
have
transportation
master
plan
which
is
yesterday
I
met
with
staff
and
they're
talking
about
other
option
of
transportation
than
just
also
transfer,
because
everybody
think
when
we
ask
for
transit,
we
ask
for
a
stressor
but
there's
other
ways
and
redo
can't
erase
where
they
send
their
own
shuttle
bus
to
the
park
and
ride
and
pick
up
their
staff.
That's
a
creative
way,
so
I
mean
we
need
to
talk
about
this
and
also
promote
it
a
little
bit
more.
A
So
if
car
corridor
they
have
4,000
people
working
there,
instead
of
having
also
transfer
coming
in
during
the
day
ones,
nobody
needed,
they
can
have
their
own
shuffle
from
the
park
and
ride
and
so
who's
going
to
sit
with
you
or
are
you
run?
A
small
group
of
committee
makes
counselors
and
staff
continue
working
on
this
to
keep
the
other
folks
engaged,
how
you
plan
to
to
deal
with
it.
So
just
going
to
answer
that
I'll.
H
Start
in
a
lot
of
shell
to
weigh
in
as
well
so
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
consultation
ongoing
right
now,
in
terms
of
you
know
this
strategy,
our
official
plan,
our
transportation
master
plan,
infrastructure,
master
plan,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
pieces
underway.
In
terms
of
you
know,
the
strategy
we'll
be
bringing
forward
our
work
plan
to
Iraq
in
just
over
a
month,
so
that
would
be
a
good
opportunity.
You
know
to
ask
some
of
those
questions.
H
N
Certainly
I
think
we
could
I
know
rowdy
spoke
to
having
businesses
included
as
part
of
the
implementation.
I
think
that
input
is
important
and
it's
certainly
our
intention
to
continue
to
consult
with
businesses
as
we
roll
out
items
like
the
toolkit
and
whatnot.
So
we
could
definitely,
you
know,
take
this
away
and
and
figure
out
how
we
could
potentially
put
together
a
group
that
could
include
some
of
the
businesses
from
different
wards
and
the
counselors
so
that
we
bring
you,
along
with
the
implementation
strategy
and
get
your
input
as
we
go
along
I.
L
This
is
very
good
point
you
brought
and
I'm
hoping
that
you
will
engage
throughout
your
workshop,
that
you
want
to
do
I'm,
hoping
that
those
business
association
that's
been
involved
with
you,
I
mean
if
you're
looking
at
about
prioritizing
what
we're
gonna
do.
First,
like
consular
chantilly
saying
it
is
very
important
because
if
you
look
at
our
rural
villages,
we
have
