A
Everyone
we're
a
bit
smaller
today
but
good
morning,
everyone
Bonjour
to
welcome
to
the
first
meeting
of
community
and
Protective
Services
Committee
for
this
year.
2020
I
look
forward
this
year
to
continuing
our
work
together
to
promote
a
safe
and
healthy
community.
We
have
a
few
items
on
the
agenda
today,
a
bit
of
a
lighter
agenda
for
us
this
time
around,
but
we
do
have
the
new
Canada
Ontario
Housing
Benefit.
This
is
the
third
envelope
of
provincial
administrative
funding
under
the
National
Housing
Strategy
that
will
benefit
Ottawa
residents.
A
This
funding
will
provide
4.3
million
to
vulnerable
groups,
including
survivors
of
domestic
violence
and
human
trafficking,
and
people
experiencing
or
at
risk
of
homelessness,
to
help
them
pay
for
housing
costs.
I
will
also
consider
recommendation
on
policies
to
guide
the
new
framework
for
the
community
funding
program.
You
may
recall
that
council
approved
the
new
framework
back
in
September
and
it
will
take
effect
in
January
of
2021
and
that's
really
a
summary
of
what
we
have
for
today.
A
B
A
Not
on
this
one,
no
question
so
I'll
hold
it.
The
third
item:
we
have
presentation
happening.
The
fourth
item:
accountability
agreements
with
the
champlain
local
health
integration
network.
Hey
on
that
report,
Kerry
received
carried
okay.
Then
we
have
counselors
item
donation
of
surplus,
snowmobile.
B
B
Do
have
a
question,
madam
chair
I,
don't
know
if
it's
to
you
or
to
to
the
clerk
it
relates
to.
So
when
we
form
this
committee
in
in
the
new
council,
we
talked
about
reporting
of
shelter
and
motel
numbers
and
I
thought
that
we
were
getting
we're
going
to
start
getting
a
report,
a
regular
report
of
those
numbers
at
this
committee.
Yet
I
have
not
seen
a
memo
or
a
report
come
through
and
when
I
see
in
the
inquiry
segment
it
says
that
a
report
or
memo
was
sent
on
February,
20
19,
but
I'm.
B
C
Thank
you.
Madam
chair
regards
the
councillors
inquiry.
Yes,
we
will
start
reporting
to
this
committee
and
I
think
it
was
specifically
in
regards
to
chronic
shelter
use
in
the
inflow
of
people
into
chronic
shelter
use
compared
to
the
overall
shelter
population.
So
we
did
roll
up
numbers
over
2018
to
2019,
so
we'll
roll
them
up
now
at
the
end
of
the
year,
and
we
can
bring
an
IP
D
or
something
to
let
you
know
what
those
numbers
are
in
regards
to
chronic
homelessness
and.
C
B
A
B
We've
established
criterias
as
to
who
were
giving
those
those
amounts
and
I
I
didn't
see
the
word
families
and
it
worried
me
there's
some
there's
some
there's
some
hints
of
families
when
we
talk
of
fleeing
situations
of
violence
as
a
priority,
but
we
didn't
use
the
term
family
saw
because
of
the
motel
situation.
I
I
really
wanted
to
understand.
If
we
saw
that
that
population
could
benefit
from
from
the
I
guess
the
1.9
million
dollars
in
the
first
year.
D
So,
certainly
with
regards
to
the
category
related
to
those
either
fleeing
violence
or
those
at
risk
or
are
currently
homeless,
it
does
include
it's
either
sole
single
females
or
female
lead
families
with
children.
So
definitely
it
does
include
the
families
in
that
category
so,
based
on
the
priority
group
as
well,
those
that
are
in
the
shelters,
the
the
female
lead.
Families
in
the
shelter's
would
qualify
yes
and.
B
D
So,
based
on
what
youth
is
outlined
in
the
report,
we
have
had
a
similar
program
that
a
sunsetting
for
victims
of
domestic
violence.
So
we
have
a
good
analysis
of
what
we
anticipate
the
average
will
be
because
it's
the
same
program
so
to
speak
so
on
a
per
family
basis.
The
average
is
about
five
hundred
and
sixty
dollars
benefit
per
month,
and
we
expect
it'll
be
similar.
Demographics,
okay
and.
B
Then,
as
a
final
question
to
this,
we
had
last
year
some
another
program,
rent
supplement.
We
had
some
challenges
of
spending
it
because
of
the
low
vacancy
in
a
rental
market.
How
is
that?
How
does
this
differ?
I
I
was
I
wanted
to
make
wanted
to
better
understand.
So
we
have
a
program.
We
have
a
rental
capacity
issue,
they
the
individuals,
if
their
house
were
able
to
have
that
portable
allowance,
but
if
they're
not
housed,
we
still
need
to
find
the
vacancy,
or
we
still
need
that.
B
D
Thank
you
so,
with
regards
to
a
rent
supplement,
specifically
it's
tied
to
for
the
most
part
stock
that
already
exists,
landlords
that
are
already
in
the
program
with
regards
to
the
housing
benefit
the
difference
being
the
household
has
the
opportunity
to
go
out
and
find
their
own
unit
within
the
private
sector.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
within
the
Ritz,
not
within
the
rents
up
portfolio
and
certainly
the
programs
that
have
been
running
for
the
last
few
years.
D
That
is
where
the
greatest
success
has
been
in
being
able
to
support
households,
so
they
go
out
into
the
private
sector,
find
a
market
unit,
and
then
this
would
be
layered
on
top
of
that,
and
that
is
over
the
last
few
years.
That
really
is
where
the
growth
has
been,
where
people
have
had
the
opportunity
to
actually
find
housing
also
was
in
this
report.
B
C
D
Community
housing
stock,
which
is
what
is
dependent
on
the
rent
supplement
program
and
our
traditional
rent
geared
to
income
subsidies.
This
is
certainly
what
we've
experienced
for
the
last
few
years.
They
people
have
significantly
more
opportunity
to
be
housed
successfully
and
and
more
rapidly.
There's
no
doubt
about
it.
Yes,
back.
B
To
my
initial
question:
so
if
we
want
it,
if
this
committee
want
really
wanted
to
prioritize
families,
what
could
we
do
today?
That
I
mean
you
have
to
have
the
delegation
of
authority
to
to
be
able
to
to
ensure
the
delivery
of
the
amounts
and
and
and
get
to
as
many
households
as
possible?
But
if
we
were
to
say
hey,
we
really
want
as
a
primary
goal
to
to
house
those
families
and
motels.
How
would
we
go
about
it?
Is
today's
directions
sufficient
or
do
we
need.
C
Certainly
rate
madam
chair,
certainly
right
now
in
the
family
shelter
system
I
mean
we
do
have
families
that
waiting
for
rent
gear
to
income
housing,
but
we've
been
offering
a
housing
allowance
program
in
the
family
shelter
system
for
the
last
three
years.
It's
a
tiered
housing
allowance
program,
so
250
plus
fifty
dollars
for
each
additional
family
member.
So
that's
been
really
successful
in
helping
us
move
people
through
the
Family
Shelter
system
just
for
context.
We
help
about
anywhere
between
550
to
600
families
every
year
transition
through
the
Family
Shelter
system
to
permanent
housing.
B
C
Madam
chair
I
think
doing
more
would
require
additional
funding
from
other
levels
of
government.
I
mean
this
is
a
very
small
amount
of
funding
that
we've
received.
Under
this
new
program,
we've
only
received
a
two-year
allocation.
We
know
that
it's
supposed
to
increase
over
time,
but
certainly
if
we're
looking
you
know
to
rents,
are
increasing
so
I
mean
a
benefit
of
five
hundred
and
sixty
dollars.
I
mean
that's.
The
average
benefit
we're
anticipating.
C
E
C
Madam
chair
I
think
that's
a
fair
assessment.
We
we
know,
you
know,
we
know
what
CMHC
posts
as
the
average
market
rents
for
three.
You
know
three
bedroom
four
bedroom
units,
but
we
know
that's
not
really
going
what
they're
going
for
here
in
the
City
of
Ottawa,
a
very
competitive
rental
market,
so
families
who
may
not
be
working
and
living
on
social
assistance,
a
benefit
of
an
extra
benefit
of
you
know.
Five
hundred
sixty
dollars
may
get
them
there,
but
will
it
keep
them
there
and
will
it
keep
them
stable,
eHow?
C
E
Is
there
something
that
we
can
do
today
that
perhaps
the
chair
and
the
mayor
together
a
letter,
something
like
that
or
a
motion
that
we
could
pass?
It
would
send
the
message,
the
other
levels
of
government
looking
to
you
for
direction
in
this
and
talked
to
the
chair
about
this,
but
I
suspect
she's
supportive
of
this
kind
of
approach.
So
is
there
something
that
you
concrete
that
you
could
suggest
that
would
say
hey.
This
is
a
great
program,
other
levels,
the
government,
but
in
today's
economy
the
dollars
are
not
sufficient.
Is
there
something.
F
Think
in
the
housing
and
homelessness
plan,
which
this
committee
is
going
to
debate
on,
March
27th
will
really
be
the
place
that
you'll
see.
Then
what
we
project
is
going
to
be
the
need
over
the
longer
period
of
time
that
we
would
send
as
a
comprehensive
package
both
to
the
province
and
to
the
feds
in
an
ask
of
what
the
needs
are
in
this
community
and
how
we
would
respond.
So
I
really
think
that
is
the
time
and
place
to
do
that
when
we
debate
the
full
plan.
G
Thank
you
just
I
just
want
to
pick
up
on
that.
The
one
issue
that
I
would
have
with
is
timing.
I
mean
the
federal
government
right
now
is
looking
at
is
out
consulting
on
their
federal
budget,
and
that
will
happen
in
March,
so
I'm
guessing
these
two
things
are
going
to
happen
at
the
same
time
and
we'll
miss
out
on
a
full
year
of
funding.
So
I
wonder
if
direction,
maybe
to
the
chair,
the
mayor
to
put
forward
I
mean
we'll
spend
any
amount
of
money.
G
I,
don't
think
that
I
don't
think
that
we
should
wait
and
miss
a
full
year.
I
worry
a
little
bit
about
that.
So
why
don't
we
make
a
budget
submission,
maybe
a
direction
to
from
committee
to
the
mayor
to
put
forward
a
budget
submission
for
the
2020
federal
budget.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
who
could
answer
that
question.
It's
not
I!
Guess
it's
not
to
staff
here!
G
I
understand
what
you're
saying
that
you'll
with
the
plan
we'll
have
a
long-range
financial
plan
and
that's
what
we've
asked
for,
but
I
do
worry
about
the
timing,
because,
like
everything
you
know
it
just
keeps
getting
pushed
off
another
year
another
year
and
then
we're
in
2021
and
we
didn't
get
the
funding
we
need
for
2020.
We
know
you
know,
with
two
federal
ministers:
go
out
yesterday,
make
an
announcement
with
CMHC
about
private
funding
to
a
private
developer.
That's
going
to
give
us
65
pseudo,
affordable
units,
and
they
think
that
that
is
success
and
I.
G
Think
that
it's
we
really
have
to
as
a
city.
We
are
falling
further
and
further
behind
every
single
day
and
I.
Think
that
we,
you
know,
we
have
to
at
least
put
the
pressure
on
the
federal
government
everywhere.
I
go
people
ask
me
what
the
city
is
doing
and
you
know
it's
it's
not
that
we
there
there
isn't
a
role
for
us.
We
have
a
lot
of
things
that
we
can
do,
but
we
can't
come
up
with
20
or
30
million
dollars
this
year,
or
maybe
we
can
but
I
think,
but
we
have
to
so.
G
A
Yes
and
I
think
you
know,
building
on
the
meeting
that
we
had,
along
with
the
mayor
with
the
minister
a
month
or
so
back
and
the
memo
that
we
provided
at
that
time.
I
think
we
have
made
strides
towards
those
budget
asks
so
I
think
that's
already
in
motion
at
the
moment
worthy
of
a
further
discussion
of.
What's
next.
You
certainly
appreciate
it,
but.
G
A
H
H
The
goal
of
the
community
funding
framework
review.
If
you
recall
it
was
to
look
at
how
we
could
use
this
funding
framework
to
sustain
a
healthy
social
infrastructure
through
a
funding
program
that
meets
existing
priority
needs.
But
at
the
same
time,
offering
enough
flexibility
to
address
emerging
needs
as
they
come
along
and.
H
In
September
of
2019
council
approved
our
new
funding
framework,
and
this
response
to
this
is
a
framework
that
responds
to
community
needs
and
feedback
from
over
200
members
of
the
nonprofit
social
service
sector
that
we
consulted.
It
integrates
flexibility
and
sustained
a
focus
on
sustainability.
It
has
a
clear
vision,
mission
mandate
and
a
focused
on
equity
based
principles
that
came
from
all
of
the
consultations
that
we
undertook.
It'll
support,
a
more
equitable
distribution
of
funding
across
the
sector,
and
importantly,
has
three
key
funding.
H
H
Our
community
funding
program,
beginning
in
2021,
will
include
three
key
funding
streams:
a
sustainability
fund,
which
is
the
longer
term
formerly
known
as
renewable
funding.
It
is
moving
to
a
five-year
term.
The
community
fund,
which
includes
project
funding
of
one
year,
as
well
as
three
year,
project
funding
with
a
mechanism
to
move
agencies
on
to
sustainability
funding.
H
If
the
funding
exists
and
the
priority
needs
are
still
pronounced.
This
also
includes
which
is
new
civic
events,
funding
which
was
a
transfer
from
our
creation,
culture
and
facility
services,
recreation
funding
and
then
a
thirdly
in
the
emerging
and
emerging
needs
stream,
which
includes
our
capital
program.
Our
emergency
funding
and
a
new,
more
flexible
emergency
community
needs
stream.
H
So,
as
required
under
the
city's
grants
and
contributions
by
law
today,
we
really
want
to
speak
to
you
about,
what's
before
you
in
the
report,
which
is
our
community
funding
policy
statements.
These
outline
the
funding
program,
descriptions,
principals,
eligibility
criteria,
decision
making,
process
allowable
and
ineligible
costs,
reporting
and
monitoring
quirements
for
each
of
the
funding
envelopes.
It
also
enables
our
team
to
adjust
funding
between
envelopes
as
time
goes
on
as
needed
to
meet
priority
needs
as
they
as
they
appear.
H
Overall.
Regarding
the
eligibility
criteria,
there
are
no
significant
changes.
The
allocations
process
that's
outlined
in
a
policy
statements,
take
into
consideration
alignment
to
funding
priorities,
allocations
that
are
lined
to
priority
equity
groups
and
the
needs
of
those
groups
and
the
priority
at
priority
needs
of
communities.
H
The
allocations
process
looks
at
existing
needs
where
are
their
most
pronounced,
which
was
a
key
principle
of
our
funding
review
and
we'll
use
geographic
mapping
and
research
to
undertake
that
flexibility
is
also
entered
to
consider
the
needs
of
underrepresented
groups
such
as
indigenous
groups,
GLBTQ
plus
groups,
for
whom
less
robust
census
data
exists.
So
we
have
a
mechanism
to
ensure
that
their
needs
are
also
identified
and
not
ignored,
and
we
will
undertake
an
objective,
transparent
and
equitable,
accountable,
systemic
evaluation
process.
H
These
policy
statements
will
guide
allocations
of
the
new
community
funding
framework
again
coming
into
effect
in
2021,
which
is
the
final
phase
in
the
closeout
phase
of
this
review,
and
we
are
currently
developing
evaluation
framework
and
outcomes,
new
outcomes
that
will
be
tied
specifically
to
the
funding
goals.
So
I
would
like
to
walk
you
through
some
of
the
key
changes
that
are
different
in
the
new
proposed
policy
statements
compared
to
the
previous
ones.
As
I
mentioned,
the
eligibility
criteria
overall
is
not
not
changed
in
terms
of
the
sustainability
funds,
so
the
five-year
renewable
fund.
H
This
is
gonna,
be
the
first
time
in
the
history
of
the
program
that
we
are
opening.
This
fund
up
to
allocations,
as
most
agencies
were
originally
grandfathered
into
the
program
post.
Amalgamation
proposals
will
go
through
a
standard
allocations
committee
process
which
will
use
an
objective
decision
making
process,
as
I
just
mentioned,
for
the
prioritization
and
selection
of
eligible
proposals.
H
It
also
includes
corporate
initiatives
funding,
and
this
comprises
programs
initiatives
that
were
approved
by
City
Council,
to
be
managed
by
our
community
funding,
Community
Development
and
funding
branch
as
term
of
council
priorities.
These
include
the
community
development
framework,
community
garden
allocations
fund,
Ottawa
youth
engagement
committee
and
the
snowgo
program
under
the
Community
Fund,
which
is
our
essentially
our
project
stream.
H
The
most
significant
change
is
the
3-year
project
funding
envelope.
It
will
allow
organizations
to
build
their
capacity,
establish
a
track
record
and
demonstrate
their
ability
to
respond
to
emerging
needs.
After
three
years,
agencies
could
be
considered
for
the
sustainability
fund
if
the
funding
envelope
allows
community
needs
persist
and
based
on
an
assessment
output
application
process.
For
this
reason,
the
three-year
project
funding
is
only
available
to
agencies,
not
in
receipt
of
the
sustainability
funding.
There
will
be
no
changes
for
the
one
year
project
funding,
so
that
is
existing
now
and
the
same
civic
events.
H
Funding
is
a
program,
as
I
mentioned
recently
transferred
from
community
funding
to
community
funding
from
the
recreation
culture
facility,
services,
department,
recreation
funding
and
this
fund
will
allow
the
new
this
fund
will
align
to
the
new
community
funding
framework
priorities,
but
other
than
that.
No
new,
significant
changes
to
that
fund
under
the
emerging
emergency
and
emerging
needs
fund,
which
is
a
brand-new
fund
that
were
introducing
brand
new
stream.
Itting,
includes
the
capital
funding
which
was
historically
only
available
to
community
health
and
resource
centres.
H
This
will
now
be
available
to
any
agency
that
meets
our
eligibility
criteria.
The
emerging
community
needs
funding
is
a
new
envelope
designed
to
provide
maximum
flexibility
to
address
emerging
needs
in
a
timely
manner,
and
this
funding
will
be
directed
to
priority
neighborhood
initiatives
or
community
initiatives.
Responding
to
an
urgent
or
emerging
need.
Emergency
funding
will
be
available
to
agencies
receiving
funding
under
either
the
sustainability
fund
stream
or
the
community
fund,
which
is
a
shorter
project
stream.
H
The
project
funding
element
only
and
historically,
this
has
only
been
available
to
agencies
receiving
renewable
funding
and
then
finally,
we're
proposing
as
well
in
2021
to
move
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
existing
eldorado
plan
internally
facing
budget
to
five
hundred
thousand
to
the
community
fund.
Over
the
last
nine
years,
city
departments
have
committed
to
support
the
OAP
actions
within
their
current
operational
budgets
to
the
extent
possible,
and
it's
expected
with
this
reduced
pressure
on
the
OAP
budget.
H
That
now
is
a
good
time
to
reallocate
the
150,000
of
the
500,000
internally
facing
budget
to
our
Community
Fund
and
prioritized
needs
of
seniors
that
our
community
facing
this
will
build
on
the
successes
of
the
OAP
by
supporting
nonprofit
community
agencies
with
age
friendly
based
initiatives
that
respond
to
the
emerging
needs.
Priorities
of
older
adults,
isolated
residents
across
and
isolated
residents
across
the
city.
H
So
the
timelines
and
and
transition
times
for
the
implementation
of
the
allocations
process
upon
receiving
council
approval
the
policy
statements.
We
will
begin
implementation
of
the
new
community
funding
framework,
starting
with
allocating
the
sustainability
fund,
the
longer-term
renewable
funding.
This
will
begin
with
an
allocations
process
in
early
March
and
ending
in
June.
All
current
funded
agencies
have
been
notified
of
this
allocation
process
and
the
timelines
and
will
continue
continue
to
receive
updates
from
us
as
we
go
along.
We
are
also
planning
information
sessions
in
the
month
of
April
to
support
agencies
with
their
proposal.
H
Writing,
which
includes
some
chips,
will
include
some
workshops
on
actual
proposal.
Writing
final
allocations
will
be
made
at
the
end
of
q2
at
the
end
of
june.
Is
our
expectation
at
that
point
we
will
begin
transition
planning
with
agencies
whose
funding
levels
will
change
under
the
new
community
funding
framework
to
support
them
with
their
transition
needs.
This
could
include
using
a
portion
of
the
500,000
transition
fund
approved
by
council
in
the
last
budget
that,
but
that
funding
will
all
be
committed
before
the
end
of
2020.
H
More
importantly,
staff
will
contact
each
agency
affected
and
work
one-on-one
with
those
agencies
to
develop
their
transition
plans
and
bridge
them
to
support
them
as
necessary.
In
the
meantime,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we'll
be
working
on
our
internal
processes,
including
an
evaluation
outcome
measurement
framework
which
will
be
new
to
our
program
and
then
you
and
the
new
operational
policies
and
procedures
that
are
required
under
our
program.
H
G
Thank
You
chair
and
thank
you
both
for
this
I
know.
It
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
and
it's
it's
not
it's
not
an
easy
task
that
we
gave
you
to
go
out
and
consider
funding
for
our
nonprofits,
all
of
whom
really
are
doing
work
for
us
out
there
in
our
community
reducing
poverty,
reducing
food
insecurity,
you
know
providing
programming
for
families
for
kids,
it's
so
closely
aligned
with
what
we
were
just
talking
about
with
housing
housing.
G
You
know
when
we
talk
about
a
housing
emergency,
it's
about
two
things:
it's
about
poverty
and
and
a
shortage
of
affordable
housing.
So
there
you
know
the
answer.
Is
you
know
more
housing
and
less
poverty,
so
you're
in
the
less
poverty,
business
and
so
I?
Just
a
couple
of
questions
and
I
think
do
we
have
do
we
have
delegations
coming
up
as
well?
No,
okay,
okay,
so
I'll,
just
unload
completely!
G
H
H
G
G
Okay,
so
thank
you
for
that
and
then
we've
got
75,000
and
emerging
needs
funding
and
we
will
have
an
emergency
fund,
but
what
we
will
also
have
is
500,000
for
transitioning
agencies
who
may
see
cuts
because
we're
we're
working
right
now,
just
to
be
clear,
we're
working
with
the
same
bucket
of
money
and
we're
just
likely
going
to
allocate
it
differently.
Is
that
correct,
so
that
500
will
help
for
a
year
to
transition
agencies
who
have
seen
a
reduction
in
their
funding?
Yes,
that's
correct.
G
Okay,
so
I
understand
that
today
we
can't
make
this
decision,
but
in
conversation
with
staff,
I've
been
and
I.
You
know:
I
brought
this
up
at
the
last
committee
meeting.
I
would
like
to
see
that
500,000
stay
in
the
in
your
budget
for
emerging
needs
or
to
add
to
our
capital
funding
for
for
our
community
funding.
G
So
today,
if,
if
committee
would
allow
a
direction
just
not
that
we
do
that,
not
that
we
make
that
decision
today,
because
we
don't
know
what
the
outcomes
of
those
allocations
are
going
to,
b-but,
that
if
they
could
report
back
to
committee
and
council
with
the
results
of
the
community
funding
sustainability
fund,
that
allocation
process
before
the
end
of
September
2020.
And
that
way
we
will
know
as
a
committee
what
the
effects
of
the
funding
have
been
on
our
community
partners.
And
we
can
make
a
decision
at
that
point.
G
G
E
We,
you
know,
we've
only
got
an
ever
increase
in
population
of
older
adults
in
the
city.
I've
got
a
very
high
concentration
in
my
area.
I
I
want
to
leave
this
meeting,
assured
that
that
150
or
the
services
that
that
150
provided
are
not
lost
in
the
shuffle
somehow
that
that
either
were
redirecting
staff
or
redirecting
internally
or
something.
So
what
can
you
say
today
so
that
I?
Can
you
know
report
out
to
people
that
we
haven't
left,
that
segment
of
the
population
behind.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
If
I
put
my
older
adult
plan
hat
on,
we
are
tremendously
proud
of
that
of
that
initiative
and
tremendously
proud
of
the
work
done
by
every
single
Department.
That's
been
part
of
that
plan
over
time
and
they
have
all
began
to
integrate
a
more
of
an
older
adult
and
senior
ylenne
seniors
lens
in
into
their
regular
operations.
I
Thank
you
very
much
so
right
now
we're
just
talking
about
the
big
picture
and
I
guess
we're
all
kind
of
nervous
about
the
who's
going
to
be
the
winners
and
losers
in
terms
of
money
being
moved
around
I
appreciate
the
emphasis
on
seniors.
As
you
know,
I
have
the
highest
number
of
seniors
in
the
city
and
my
ward,
and
we
have
some
great
programs
for
them.
Probably
the
biggest
one
is
the
Old
Forge
and
I
can't
help
but
wonder
how
they
fit
into
it,
because
there's
sort
of
a
definitely
a
strong
anchor
in
the
community.
I
H
Madam
chair,
it's
difficult
to
speculate.
What
the
result
of
the
allocations
process
will
be
any
of
any
organization.
That's
currently
funded
through
our
renewable
funding
stream
will
be
automatically
eligible
to
submit
a
proposal
under
the
new
sustainability
fund,
so
we
know
that
they
would
be
eligible.
It's
as
much
as
I
can
can
say
at
this
stage.
Yeah.
H
Through
you,
madam
chair,
in
terms
of
trends,
what
came
out
of
our
needs
analysis
was
was
definitely
a
sense
of
a
deepening
level
of
complex
needs
that
organizations
are
seeing
in
terms
of
residents
not
only
facing
issues
of
poverty,
but
mental
health.
In
some
cases
trauma.
We
know
from
our
research
that
newcomers,
immigrants,
racialized
populations,
indigenous
women
in
particular
racialized
youth-
are
faring
much
worse
in
our
current
economy
in
our
in
society
than
other
populations.
H
So
we
have
been
very
diligent
to
build
a
framework,
a
new
framework
that
has
the
capacity
to
address
those
priority
needs
over
time
and
we're
very
confident
that
we
have
undertaken
a
very
transparent
process
and
very
proud
of
the
the
nonprofit
social
services
sector
to
have
to
walked
along
with
us.
On
this
we
have
had
30
members
of
a
community
funding
framework
review.
Reference
committee
meet
with
us
through
every
step
of
this
process,
and
we
will
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
support
agencies
through
any
transition.
That's
required
for
them.
I
B
B
B
There
are
some
groups
that
will
be
knocking
at
committee
committee,
doors
and
saying:
hey,
I'm,
cut
and
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
go
back
to
we're
planning
for
the
future,
and
here
are
the
priority
environments
that
we're
seeing
the
only
question
I
would
have.
Is
we
have
priority
areas
that
are
currently
not
equipped
to
give
professional
applications?
B
How
will
the
city
understanding
what
our
priority
neighborhood
we're
priority
neighborhoods
are
and
needs
are.
How
are
we
supporting
we're
not
going
to
write
applications
for
people
I,
get
that
where
we
have
to
retain
independence,
but
there
are.
There
are
some
groups
that
don't
have
the
ability
to
submit
I
mean
the
star,
the
shining
star
of
that
is
P
Q
P
Q
has
a
reputation
across
the
city
for
applying
and
having
professional
applications,
and
they
win
provincial
and
municipal
bids
all
the
time.
H
Thank
you
for
that
question,
madam
chair,
but
so
we
are
as
part
of
our
information
sessions
that
are
planned
for
April.
That
I
spoke
about
in
my
presentation.
Part
of
that
will
include
grant
writing
workshops
so
that
we
can
actually
support
smaller
organizations
that
aren't
used
to
submitting
you
know
comprehensive
proposals.
A
A
D
B
Support
of
the
report-
so
that's
not
I,
don't
want
folks
to
be
nervous
about
that.
We
have
winter
trails
that
are
now
more
and
more
wanting
to
be
groomed
along
our
rivers
and
pathways.
I
had
asked
when,
at
the
budget
consultation
at
the
CPS
budget,
consultation
I
had
asked
at
the
time
Dan
to
inform
us
if
there
were
additional
snowmobiles
that
were
available
and
what
I
realized
is
that
this
one
is
coming
from
fire.
So
I
guess
that
different
groups
have
perhaps
different
stocks.
I
So
we
do
have
a
system
where
we
look
at
all
of
our
fleet
and
there's
only
a
few
snowmobiles
left
there
with
paramedics
there's
just
four.
The
one
that's
going
today
is
17
years
old
from
fire.
So
there's
there's
none
coming
up
on
the
horizon,
but
certainly
we
can
look
at
some
sort
of
way
to.
Let
committee
know
going
forward.
B
I
We
just
do
a
replacement
plan
every
year,
but
the
units
can
switch
in
and
out
depending
on
their
condition,
as
we
get
closer
to
the
end
and
try
and
get
a
bit
of
life
out
of
something
or
or
switch
them
out
or
if
one
is
damaged,
we
might
change
up
what's
available.
The
process
for
donations
right
now
is
strictly
through
the
community
coming
to
councillors
and
making
an
ask
for
something
so.
B
I
B
I
Help
but
jump
in
on
this
because
we
just
had
our
big
launch
this
past
weekend
for
our
winter
trail
for
the
Britannia
winter
trail,
and
it
was
an
absolute
success
and
the
the
snowmobile
is
somebody
in
the
neighborhood
and
we've
got
them
insured
and
all
that
stuff,
but
obviously
that's
one
of
the
biggest
expenses.
That
of
our
our
funding
that
we
get
and
I
know
that
the
city
is
encouraging
us
to
work
together
as
a
winter
alliance.
I
So
I'll
try
not
to
fight
with
Matt
about
who
gets
a
snowmobile,
but
I
think
that
it's
definitely
going
to
be.
The
need
is
going
to
continue
to
grow
because
we're
going
to
see
this
across
the
city,
it's
there
and
so
I
think
that
it
would
be
safe
to
say
that
there's
a
possibility
that
there'll
be
more
need
of
whatever
so
there's
a
lot
of
communications
and
that
we
can
make
with
the
Winter
Alliance
are.
Have
you
been
in
touch
with
that
at
all
or
okay?
Well,
I
know,
Dan
can
can
speak
on
on
that.
J
Yes,
chair
through
the
winter
alliance
and
our
dialogue
with
them,
we
are
aware
of
the
various
groups
that
are
still
snowmobile
deficient
and
would
like
to
own
one
and
so
to
councillor
flurries
earlier
comment.
We
do
continue
to
track,
who
is
looking
for
a
first
no
machine
and
we'll
be
working
with
fleet
if
anything
should
arise,
although,
as
I
think
was
mentioned,
there
are
a
lot
in
the
systems
that
are
likely
to
come
up
soon,
but
we
are
looking
at
other
opportunities
both
to
accommodate,
for
example,
storage
through
CIL
funding.
I
A
So
no
in-camera
items
any
notices
of
motion.
None
inquiries
I
have
to
anyone
else
want
to
go
first,
No,
okay,
so
I
have
two
here
which
just
circulated
for
the
benefit
of
my
colleagues
as
well.
The
first
one
directed
at
the
general
manager
of
recreation,
culture
and
facilities,
Services
Department,
unnecessary
plastics,
are
everywhere
around
us
and
deeply
impact
on
our
environment.
It's
estimated
that
Canadians
produce
around
3.3
million
tons
of
plastic
wastes
per
year
and
86%
end
up
in
landfills
every
single
year,
even
more
staggering,
one-third
of
our
plastics
are
created
for
single-use
products.
A
These
include
things
like
plastic,
water
bottles,
there's
about
a
million
plastic
bottles
bought
around
the
world
every
minute.
It's
a
staggering
number
recently
Council
adopted
the
climate
change
master
plan
where
Council
approved
an
ambitious
plan
on
tackling
climate
change.
The
plan
calls
for
a
reduction
of
at
least
50%
of
plastics
from
city
use
as
a
corporation.
A
I
personally
cringe
when
I
see
single-use
water
bottles
for
sale
in
our
city,
facilities
and
I
believe
eliminating
them
is
one
way
that
we
could
make
a
difference.
So
my
inquiry
to
staff
is,
with
staff
report
back
to
committee,
on
the
possible
options
available
to
eliminate
the
sale
of
plastic,
water
bottles,
single-use
plastic,
water
bottles
from
city,
administrative
recreation
and
cultural
facilities,
including
a
process
by
which
they
could
work
with
our
partners
and
lease
holders
to
encourage
the
elimination
of
and
say
of
the
sale
of
single-use
plastic
water
bottles
in
all
city
facilities.
A
The
second
inquiry
I
have
here
today
again
directed
at
Dan
Chani
and
his
team
recently
I
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
with
two
high
school
students
who
are
working
on
a
project
to
eliminate
what
they
refer
to
as
period
poverty.
They
are
two
very
young
or
very
inspiring
young
women,
who
have
rightly
identified
an
issue
that
too
many
people
in
our
city
face.
The
issue
is
barriers
to
access
for
menstrual
products,
the
biggest
barrier
of
which
is
low-income
period.
Poverty
is
a
pressing
issue
throughout
Ottawa
and
indeed
across
the
world.
A
According
to
plan
Canada's
study
on
menstruation
in
Canada,
more
than
one
in
ten
Canadians
report
that
they
have
had
to
regularly
miss
out
on
an
activity
because
of
their
period
and
concerns
about
a
lack
of
access
to
menstrual
hygiene
products.
This
is
an
issue
that
I
believes
been
neglected
at
our
local,
provincial
and
federal
government
levels
and
I
have
full
confidence
that
if
men
menstruated
that
there
would
be
mentioning
products
everywhere
and
I
in
challenge
all
of
you
to
think
about
what
it
would
be
like
every
day.
A
If,
before
you
left
home,
you
had
to
think
about
how
much
toilet
paper
you
needed
for
the
day
and
bring
it
with
you.
I,
don't
think
it
would
be.
It
would
be
well
received
what
would
happen
if
you
didn't
have
enough
or
for
those
who
didn't
have
any
providing
women
and
girls
with
access
to
free
minstrel
products
will
help
to
alleviate
the
Byrd.
The
burden
of
low-income
women
facing
excuse
me
face,
while
they're
on
their
period,
allowing
these
individuals
to
thrive.
A
So
the
inquire
that
I
have
today
I'd
like
to
ask
Taff
to
a
to
assess
the
feasibility
and
cost
of
a
pilot
program
that
would
offer
free
minstrel
products
in
select
city
facilities,
would
first
of
all
would
staff
be
able
to
provide
committee
with
a
breakdown
of
city
facilities
that
are
currently
equipped
with
menstral
product
dispensers.
Secondly,
would
staff
identify
facilities
that
would
benefit
from
the
installation
of
dispensers
based
on
demographics,
client,
requests,
etc?
Third,
what
costs
would
the
city
incur
if
the
dispensers
were
installed
in
the
facilities
identified
above,
including
one-time
and
ongoing
costs?
A
Fourth,
where
product
dispensers
are
installed?
Currently,
what
is
the
process
for
procuring
menstral
products
and
what
are
the
costs
associated
with
the
service?
And,
lastly,
can
staff?
Please
provide
guidance
on
feasibility
and
costs
of
implementing
a
pilot
project
to
provide
menstral
products
in
select
city
facilities.
A
Any
other
inquiries-
okay,
seeing
none
other
business
I-
have
one
item
to
note
here
appreciating
that
there
have
been
two
formal
inquiries
as
well
as
a
number
of
questions
from
my
council
colleagues
about
the
enhanced
security
measures
at
City,
Hall
and
understanding
that
this
item
is
not
before
us
on
the
agenda
today.
I
believe
that
a
staff
report
regarding
a
new
corporate
security
policy
for
committee
and
council
consideration
is
scheduled
to
be
tabled
later
this
year
to
committee.
A
Do
I
have
is
mr.
de
Monte
in
the
room
of
fantastic
sorry.
The
chair
is
in
the
way
I
just
wanted
to
ask
mr.
de
Monte.
If
you
can,
please
confirm
for
committee
that,
as
part
of
the
reports
coming
forward
that
you'll
be
meeting
with
members
of
council
as
well
as
key
stakeholders,
including
the
accessibility,
Advisory
Committee
as
part
of
your
consultation
process.
Yes,.
