one
specific
one
that
relates
to
two
farmers
markets
and
the
ability
to
have
farm
stands
at
expanded
areas
in
the
urban
area,
and
we
do
have
a
speaker
on
the
item.
It's
dawn,
Henderson
of
the
auto
farmers
market
Association.
So
now,
if
you
want
to
come
forward.
A
A
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
chairman
counselors,
the
Ottawa
farmers
market
association
was
formed
in
2006
by
a
group
of
local
producers
who
felt
the
existing
downtown
markets
did
not
meet
their
needs.
We
fully
support
the
provisions
related
to
farmer's
markets
of
the
comprehensive
zoning,
bylaw,
2008,
250,
omnibus
amendments,
etc,
etc,
as
this
directly
enhances
our
ability
to
deliver
on
our
mission.
The
mission
of
the
Ottawa
Farmers
Market
Association
is
as
follows.
B
We
provide
environments
where
local
farmers,
specialty
food
processors
and
artisans
can
flourish
by
delivering
premium
quality
self
produced
goods
from
within
the
Ottawa
region
through
vibrant
community
markets.
A
successful
farmers
market
depends
on
three
factors.
The
first
factor
is
vendor
quality.
Our
membership
is
made
up
of
the
majority
of
horticultural,
as
well
as
other
agricultural
producers
in
the
Ottawa
region,
together
with
juried
secondary
food
processors
and
artisanal
crafters
visitors
to
our
West
borough
market
and
Lansdowne
markets
know
that
they
are
buying
local
products
of
the
highest
quality
represented
by
the
producers
themselves.
B
The
second
dependency
is
location.
The
successful
market
needs
at
least
two
of
these
three
attributes
to
be
successful.
Visibility,
parking
and
ambiance
markets
such
as
carp
and
Cumberland
offer
that
rural
ambulance
with
ample
free
parking
Westborough
has
great
visibility
together
with
the
park
like
ambience
Lansdowne
has
poor
visibility
and
struggles
to
convince
the
local
community
of
its
ambience
as
as
well
as
the
availability
of
low-cost
parking.
B
The
third
dependency
is
community.
A
successful
market
is
surrounded
by
customers
who
can
walk,
ride
or
drive
to
the
market,
embrace
it
as
their
own.
Such
a
customer
base
soon
grows
through
word
of
mouth
to
encompass
a
greater
geography,
a
market
whose
raison
d'etre
is
something
other
than
to
service.
Those
customers
will
never
really
reach
its
potential.
Should
these
amendments
pass,
the
ottawa
farmers
market
will
establish
an
orleans
market
in
the
parking
lot
of
the
ray
Friel
center.
We
previously
operated
in
Orleans
market
in
centrum
parking
lot
off
st.
Joseph
Boulevard.
B
This
market
was
ultimately
unsuccessful
because
it
missed
the
mark
on
two
of
the
three
dependencies.
The
new
market
excels
at
two
of
the
dependencies
visibility
in
parking,
and
it
is
our
job
to
create
a
welcoming
ass
atmosphere.
We
expect
this
market
to
be
successful,
successful
and
to
grow
in
the
future.
Our
support
for
these
amendments
goes
beyond
the
self-interest
of
the
Orleans
market.
There
are
a
number
of
communities
in
our
city
that
do
not
have
easy
access
to
local,
fresh,
nutritious
products
that
are
larger
market
supply.
These
communities
deserve
access.
B
These
amendments
expand
the
potential
location
for
smaller,
smaller
markets
in
single
stands
and
in
communities
across
the
model
or
region.
The
Ottawa
Farmers
Market
Association
mission
encompasses
such
an
expansion
of
access
to
what
we
offer
at
our
current
markets
since
starting
at
Lansdowne
Park
in
2006.
We
have
seen
the
doubling
of
the
number
of
horticultural
producers
in
our
region
in
large
part
because
they
have
stable
locations
to
market
their
produce
without
interference
by
resellers.
New
stable
market
locations
will
again
increase
the
number
of
agricultural
producers
and
horticultural
producers.
In
particular.
B
Horticulture
is
also
labor
intensive
and
thus
new
employment
opportunities
will
be
created
in
the
rural
parts
of
Ottawa.
Our
last
point
is
that
studies
have
done
by
University
of
Guelph,
and
others
have
been
very
pleased
shown
that
farmers
market
have
a
positive
economic
impact
on
the
communities
in
which
they
operate.
They
show
that,
for
every
dollar,
a
customer
spends
at
a
farmers
market
anywhere
from
one
to
three
dollars
is
spent
in
the
general
community.
B
C
B
There
there's
visibility:
you
know
people
drive
by
Bank
Street
that
they
don't
Litton.
They
don't
necessarily
see
the
market.
You
know
when
we
were
at
Brewer,
Park
people,
anybody
going
up
and
down
Bronson
Avenue,
you
know,
even
if
they
never
knew
that
there
was
a
market,
saw
that
there
was
a
market
and-
and
you
know,
okay,
let's
stop
by
the
the
Orleans
location
is
ideal
on
on
tenth
line
they're
parking.
B
You
know
that
both
the
city
and
no
sag,
you
know,
got
a
bad
rap
on
the
whole
parking
side
of
things
and
and
we
we
kind
of
suffered
there's
still
a
large
part
of
the
population,
think
that
it
cost
$20
to
drive
through
those
doors
and
in
the
parking
lot,
whereas
it's
only
a
dollar
fifty
for
half
an
hour
and
if
you're
going
to
the
market
for
an
hour
and
a
half,
not
even
spending
five
bucks.
So
it's
very
convenient
for
a
Sunday
morning.
B
Market,
there's
always
ample
parking,
but
getting
that
message
out
has
been
and
and
overcoming
that
original
prejudice
that
you
know,
because
when
the
market
or
not
when
the
market
opened,
but
when
Lansdowne
open,
you
know
it
was
redblacks
games
and
don't
come,
there's
no
parking,
don't
don't
take
your
car.
Don't
do
this
and
I
think
that
created
an
atmosphere
of
hate.
You
know
it's
it's
a
pain
in
the
butt
to
to
go
to
the
Lansdowne.
Even
if
it's
a
nice
farmers
market,
we
think
that
the
ambiance
is
is
great.
B
C
Well,
that's
the
first
I've
heard
of
this.
Obviously
that
charge
and
all
Branson
was
was
a
great
location
because
people
see
it
there,
I
can't
see
ourself
in
the
rule
of
air
to
survive.
Without
the
farmers
market
is
a
day
with
almost
respect
a
day
to
go
to
the
church.
You
gotta
go
to
the
farmers
market
and
a
lot
of
the
funds.
People
can
just
pour
the
dry
for
for
for
breakfast
Airport
for
whatever,
but
in
the
end
of
the
day,
you're
right,
it's
creating
creating
a
buzz
in
our
community,
those
farmers
market.
So
indeed.
B
I'm,
the
vice
president
of
the
Ottawa
farmers
market
I'm,
also
the
vice
president
of
the
carp
farmers
market,
so
I
kind
of
bring
both
worlds
together
and
in
the
appreciation
of
the
various
kinds
of
farmers
markets
that
deliver
you
know,
and
so
the
markets
that
we
run
in
carp
run
are
the
biggest
per
producer.
Only
markets
and
that's
really
important
to
internalize
that
you
know
what's
sold
at
our
markets,
is
produced
in
this
city
or
within
100
kilometers,
which
thank.
C
B
B
Reimagining
of
the
market
in
Orleans
what
I
apologize
it
may
be.
I
misses
what
day
of
the
week
are
you
planning
we're
planning
on
Thursday
yeah
and
what
hours
we
haven't
quite
decided,
whether
to
go
right
through
to
7
o'clock
or
just
kind
of
an
11
2
to
6.
We
need
a
little
bit
more
feedback
from
our
from
our
vendors
on
that
particular
issue.
B
You
know
from
our
members
there
was
a
lot
of
desire
to
have
it
on
a
Saturday
or
a
Sunday,
but
you
know
we
number
one
rafe
real,
can't
support
that
and
number
two.
You
know
it's
it's
very
close
to
the
Cumberland
market
and
you
didn't
want
to
interfere
with
its
business.
Yeah.
Okay,
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
again.
I.
C
A
D
The
the
change
in
the
zoning
bylaw
to
allow
farm
stands.
It
does
say
farmers
market
on
there
in
a
sense,
not
a
true
farmers
market
because
of
the
size
of
the
restrainin
and
the
institutional
change
of
the
zone.
Zoning
would
it
would
help
us
as
farmers
and
perhaps
new
farmers
getting
their
foot
in
the
door
being
able
to
sell
their
product
as
as
Canadians
were
very
busy,
and
we
don't
go
out
to
the
farms
like
we
used
to.
D
We
don't
have
the
connection
to
the
farms
like
we
used
to
our
parents
or
grandparents
or
uncles
they're,
not
farmers,
so
they
weren't
farmers.
We
can't
go
and
ask
our
parents
or
our
grandparents.
You
know
why
do
you
do
this
on
the
farm?
So
it's
important
that
we
are
able
to
come
into
the
city,
bend
our
products
and
sell
our
products
and
make
it
convenient
for
our
city
cousins
to
to
pick
up
fresh
produce,
grown
locally
and
healthy
products.
D
D
A
Question
so
that's
why
thank
you
know
for
first,
no,
no
for
taking
the
time
to
come
down
here
today,
but
also
really
bringing
this
issue
to
our
attention.
You
know,
while
it
wasn't
the
most
positive
way
to
get
it
on
the
agenda.
The
reality
is
that
you
know
your
stand
was
caught
in
this
in
this
sort
of
gray
area.
We
were
trying
to
make
it
easy
for
farmers
to
bring
their
food
to
market,
to
bring
it
close
to
market,
to
allow
residents
of
Ottawa
to
buy
local
food,
and
it
turns
out.
A
We
were
stuck
in
a
zoning
situation
that
didn't
permit
that
and
that's
what
led
to
this
and
one
thing
Carroll
ready
to
for
her
work
on
this,
because
it
helped
get
it
to
this
point.
Where
now
we
have
a
situation
where
you
can
open
your
stands
in
more
areas,
other
farmers
can
bring
their
farm
stands
to
more
areas
in
the
city
and
to
bring
their
food
closer
to
the
residents
of
this
city,
and
that's
there's
nothing
but
positive
outcomes
from
that
and
you've
been
a
big
part
of
that.
A
part
of
this.
Coming
to
this.
A
D
When
we
had
our
visit
from
auto
by
law
they
they
asked
us
to
pack
up
and
leave
and
they
were
quite
flexible.
Actually
they
let
us
stay
till
the
end
of
the
season,
which
is
I,
thought
they
had
make
us
need
right
away.
We
actually
started
a
petition
for
where
all
the
people
that
came
to
our
stand,
so
it
wasn't.
You
know
everyone
from
all
over
the
country
of
the
world,
but
people
that
came
to
the
stand
we
asked
them.
Do
you
support
us
being
here?
If
so,
would
you
sign
this
petition?
D
So
in
approximately
a
two-week
period
we
had
over
300
signatures
of
people
that
actually
stopped
the
stance
we
weren't
going
over
to
the
corner
and
waving.
People
in
these
are
people
that
were
and
stopping
there
after
this
season
is
over.
We
start
an
online
petition
and
not
petition.
There
was
lots
of
other
people
other
than
people
local,
but
we
had
over
400
signature
on
there.
D
So
the
toll
over
700
signatures
in
support
of
us
being
there
so
I
think
that
what
you're
doing
has
city
employees
as
counselors
as
as
people
to
see
of
Ottawa's,
is
overwhelmingly
accepted
by
the
general
population.
Yes,
there
might
be
one
or
two
or
a
very
small
number
that
may
be
against
it,
and
and
that's
why
city
by
law
came,
there
was
just
someone
that
had
called
called
and
I
did
talk
to
bylaw
awesome,
how
many
it
complaints
and
at
that
time
they
told
me
on
the
phone.
There
was
one
complaint,
so
we've
had.
D
A
So,
as
I
said,
I
mean
this
is
a
well
it.
It
is
kind
of
just
stuck
in
here
in
this
omnibus
amendment.
It
is
a
very
important
issue
that
deserves
the
attention
that
it's
getting
from
from
the
two
delegations
today,
it's
it's
a
good
step
forward,
one
of
the
guiding
principles
of
the
city.
It's
one
of
the
the
key
principles
of
how
how
this
Trevor
one
election
counts.
Priorities
is
food
and
agriculture
and
making
sure
that
our
residents
have
easy
access
to
good
quality.
A
Local
food
is
a
is
very
important,
so
she
has
real
councillors
and
very
happy
to
have
this
before
us
today.
Again,
thanks
to
you
to
care
buddy
for
your
work
on
this
and
and
appreciate
the
support
that
this
got
at
Planning
Committee
and
hopefully
we'll
get
the
same
support
here
through
counsel.
So
on
the
item.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
A
A
E
E
In
2009,
the
federation
of
municipalities,
commission
to
study
sustainable
community
planning
in
canada's
status
and
best
practices-
and
this
is
just
a
very,
very
small
abstract
of
just
a
couple
of
points-
and
the
recommendations
of
this
report
spoke
to
the
need
for
collaborative
planning,
specifically
democratic
participation-
that
a
public
engagement
and
participation
in
decision-making,
strong
community
support.
You
can
see
the
points
there
for
yourselves
and,
in
actual
fact,
what
happened
in
2009
is
that
some
twenty
eggs,
our
twenty
or
twenty,
so
existing
pieces
of
legislature,
which
allowed
for
local
Community
Planning,
were
actually
overridden.
E
E
I
think
citizens
not
aware
are
concerned
that
if
we
don't
have
control
of
what's
happening
in
our
own
community,
we
don't
decide
what
happens
in
things
like
landfills.
We
don't
happen,
decide
what
happens
in.
What
shall
such
kind
of
gaming
should
or
should
not
be
allowed
within
the
city
limits,
and
neither
can
we
control
where
renewable
energy
projects
are
sited.
It
is
literally
forced
upon
us
councillor,
Moffat
was
was
quoted
in
saying
back
in
2013
in
the
magnetic
messenger
and
that
you
know
Ottawa
has
a
minimum
rule
in
approval.
E
We
have
no
ability
to
influence
and
have
any
substantive
influence
on
what
actually
happens.
I
think
what
citizens
are
looking
for
is
meaningful
ways
to
control
climate
change.
You
know
we
absolutely
need
it,
but
let's
do
it.
You,
white,
okay
and
our
communities,
I
think
they're
in
the
best
position
to
understand
what
our
needs
are.
What
makes
sense
economically
for
us,
what
resources
can
we
actually
put
into
this
and
the
having
listened
the
power
of
the
provincial
government
makes
little
or
no
sense.
E
So
my
request
is
that
there
would
be
a
formal
motion
and
I
believe
councillor
Moffat
is
is
working
on
this
to
reinstate
local
land
use
planning
back
where
it
belongs.
I
will
mention
that,
but
in
2013
there
was
a
motion
should
not
not
exactly
the
same
motion
which
council
unanimously
passed
24
to
0
and
was
sent
to
the
provincial
government
of
the
time,
which
was
completely
and
utterly
ignored.
E
E
There
are
ways,
but
that
a
municipality
can
get
municipal
support
and
and
build
kind
of
a
coalition
staff
may
or
may
not
be
familiar
with
the
best
ways
to
do
that,
we
have
some
experience
in
connections
and
if
staff
would
like
us
to
any
assistance
from
us
into
how
to
get
a
proliferated
and
supported
by
multiple
municipalities,
we'd
be
delighted
to
do
so.
Stuff
doesn't
need
help.
That's
fine,
too.
C
A
Question
yes,
so
we
do
have
an
osa
motion
to
be
dealt
with
in
an
hour
main
meeting
that
does
follow
up
on
the
motion
that
was
put
forward
in
Twitter
teen
that
was
passed
now.
Is
that
unfortunate
didn't
get
a
response
to?
But
the
timing
is.
The
timing
now
is
similar
to
what
it
was.
Then
the
the
independent
electricity
system
operator,
IES
o,
is
putting
forward
a
second
phase
of
their
large
renewable
procurements
process.
So
now
is
a
good
time
to
sort
of
go
back
and
say
well,
listen.
A
A
That
would
be
that
edit
Cultural
Affairs
Committee
asked
the
City
Council
asked
the
province
Ontario
to
make
necessary
legislative
and
or
regulatory
changes
to
provide
new
scholars
with
substantive,
meaningful
role
in
siting
wind
power
projects,
so
that
that'll,
that's
just
north
motion
that
will
come
forward
at
our
next.
Our
next
committee
meeting
in
May
I,
have
another
notice
of
motion
should
also
be
dealt
with
in
May.
It
said
regarding
the
evaluation
of
land
use,
designations
and
zoning
on
specific
properties
where,
as
scheduled,
a
official
plan
clearly
designates
the
aforementioned
property.
A
The
high
cultural
affairs
committee
recommend
council
planning,
in
both
management
staff
to
review
the
Official
Plan
zoning
bylaw
designations
for
these
properties
and
thing
forward
and
bring
forward
for
approval
any
recommended
and
required
amendments
by
q3,
2016
and
we'll
discuss
that
more
I
know.
Jenna
is
here
the
working
with
Nick
Stowe,
as
well
as
the
property
owners
on
this
and
we'll
discuss
that
more
in
at
our
May
meeting
as
well.
So.
A
Third
quarter,
vision
which
we
have
to
dissolve
in
the
quarter,
vision
to
deal
with
the
O'keefe
miscible
drain.
So
with
that
adjourn
for
the
purpose
of
hearing
appeals
under
Section
fitted,
Co
drainage
act
by
owners
of
land
assess
for
drainage
works
under
the
engineer's
report
for
the
O'keefe
mystery.
Until
amendment
amendment
to
the
engineer's
report
for
the
oh
keepers
will
drain
dated
20
December
2015,
this
quote:
will
now
convene
for
the
first
sitting
of
the
quail
vision
under
Section
46
of
the
drainage
act.
No
notice
appeal
have
been
received
under
the
O'keefe.
A
It
will
drain
any
lay
into
anywhere
lands
assessed
on
the
engineer's
report,
who
has
not
provided
with
a
response
and
appealed.
The
clerk
in
advance
of
this
hearing
should
identify
themselves
to
your
clerk's
distant
at
this
time.
With
a
request
to
be
heard,
the
reality
is,
is
only
one
person
assessed
at
the
city
level,
so
no
one
has
appeared.
So.
Therefore,
this
court
adopts
the
assessment
in
engineer's
report
dated
December
2015.
The
decision
rendered
by
this
court
may
be
appealed
to
agricultural
agriculture.
