A
A
So
I'm
just
going
to
put
the
lid
back
on
for
one
minute
to
let
the
peas
finish
thawing
and
warming,
and
then
our
risotto
will
be
ready
to
go
all
right.
Our
peas
should
be
perfect
by
now,
so
we're
going
to
take
the
lid
off
again
and
in
fact
we
can
turn
the
burner
off
now,
so
our
final
add-ins
are
going
to
be
on
top.
For
the
most
part,
we've
got
our
parsley.
A
A
A
B
I'm
Derek,
Fage
and
I
incur
urge
you
to
join
me
each
and
every
weekday
at
2
p.m.
For
an
edition
of
daytime
Ottawa,
we
will
share
with
you
some
fabulous
stories,
inspirational
stories
and,
of
course,
recipes
from
local
chefs.
We'll
tell
you
about
some
wonderful,
musical
performances
introducing
to
local
businesses
and
Charities,
and
so
much
more
join
us
here
on
daytime
Ottawa
at
2
p.m.
Weekdays
with
repeats
at
6
and
11
pm.
A
All
right,
Skillet,
fajitas,
so
much
fun
to
make
and
even
more
fun
to
eat.
So
the
version
I'm
going
to
prepare
with
you
today
uses
sirloin
steak.
You
could
absolutely
make
the
Swiss
chicken.
It
would
even
be
great
with
pork.
You
could
Sub
in
some
black
beans
instead
of
meat
if
you
like,
but
here
we
go
with
the
steak,
so
we're
going
to
heat
up
our
pan
and
add
in
a
little
bit
of
olive
oil.
A
E
F
F
E
E
As
we
begin
our
meeting
today
and
on
behalf
of
Ottawa

I
wish
to
acknowledge
that
Ottawa
is
built
on
unseated
anishinaabe,
Algonquin
territory.
The
peoples
of
the
anishinaabe
Algonquin
Nation,
have
lived
on
this
territory
for
millennia,
their
culture
and
presence
has
nurtured
and
continue
to
nurture
this
land.
The
city
of
Ottawa
honors,
the
peoples
and
land
of
the
anishinaabe
Algonquin
nation
and
honors
all
First
Nations,
Inuit
and
metis
peoples
and
their
valuable
past
and
present
contributions
to
this
land.

cabs,
and
there
is
a
motion
related
to
that.
E
L
Thank
you
mayor,
good
morning
to
you
and
everyone.
As
we
know
from
our
committee
meeting,
we
received
the
on-demand
accessible
taxi
cab
report
and
there
were
a
number
of
amendments
related
to
this.
Bylaw
staff
have
stated
that
the
taxi
bylaw
review
will
not
happen.
This
term
of
council
as
you'll,
see
later
on
when
we
deal
with
the
work
plan
for
the
bylaws.
L
L
L
E
You
councilor
Brockington
is
the
motion
carried
and
then
the
committee
recommendations,
as
amended,
are
those
carried
all
right.
Thank
you.
Moving
to
item
14.2,
which
is
the
2023
to
2026
corporate
bylaw
review
work
plan,
is
that
carriage
item
14.3
is
the
Ottawa
paramedic
service,
2021
and
2022
annual
report
is
that
received
item
14.4?
Is
the
auto
paramedic
service
2024
to
2026
investment
plan?
E
E
Item
15.3
is
a
motion
on
green
console,
construction
and
consumer
financing.
As
that
carriage
item,
16
is
the
planning
and
housing
committee
report
item
16.1
applications
to
alter
233,
Argyle,
Avenue
and
330
McLeod
Street
properties
designated
under
part
five
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
Act
is
that
carried.
J
J
J
This
is
a
lot
of
new
units
coming
in
to
this
area,
and
I
think
welcome
in
that
in
that
regard,
but
there's
there's
not
affordable
housing
attached
to
this,
and
so
I've
asked
the
applicant
to
look
at
a
voluntary
contribution
to
affordable
housing,
which
I
know
they're
doing
now
and
have
written
to
them.
The
other
piece
mayor
that
I'd
like
to
ask
staff
to
do
is
to
to
continue
negotiating
with
them
around
the
provision
of
presto
passes.
J
There's
no
parking
here
and
the
new
tenants
that'll
be
coming
into
this
building
will
have
a
presto
pass
pre-loaded,
but
that's
only
for
a
limited
timeline
for
the
new
entrance
so
and
because
there'll
probably
be
lots
of
turnover
in
this
building.
I've
asked
the
Apple
Kent
to
extend
that
for
a
five-year
timeline
so
that
that
modal
share
can
be
recognized
in
a
you
know,
highly
important
area
for
transit
for
walking
for
biking
and
for
car
use.
J
E
N
E
E
Item
17.2
is
the
permanent,
always
stop
control

intersection
of
Shawna
Crescent
evening
Shadow,

the
Gladstone

in
Rochester,

intersection?

E
N
N
E
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
do
want
to
thank
the
chair
and
thank
the
members
of
the
board
for
their
hard
work.
Leading
us
to
this
point.
We're
going
to
first
deal
with
some
administrative
matters,
so
I
would
move
to
pass
the
following
resolutions:
number
one
that
by
law
number
one
be
amended
to
delete
section
5.4
of
bylaw
number
one.
It's
an
entirety
in
its
entirety
and
replace
it
with
the
following
directors
shall
be
elected
by
the
members
by
ordinary
resolution.
E
E
N
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Next
slide.
Please
agenda
a
quick,
quick
message:
a
review
of
the
financials
I
won't
have
Zach
go
through
some
of
the
highlights
from
2022
from
our
time
at
Ottawa
markets
and
then
we'll
touch
quickly
on
the
the
transition
which
we
just
accepted
to
the
byword.
Market
District
Authority
model
next
slide,
please.
N
So
this
period
conf
completes
the
Mandate
of
the
original
Marche
Ottawa
markets.
The
original
Mandate
of
the
organization
has
agreed
to
in
2018
was
to
secure
a
diverse
and
Innovative
mix
of
outdoor
and
indoor
tenants
position
the
markets
as
a
desirable
destination
that
offers
programming
and
shopping
for
both
residents
and
tourists
alike,
promoting
Local,
Foods
and
goods,
while
also
offering
products
that
suit
customer
needs
celebrating
and
building
the
rich
Heritage
of
the
area
and
the
Market
within
its
community
and
establishing
a
growth-based
model
that
is
financially
viable
and
operationally
sustainable.
N
We
are
committed
as
an
organization
to
this
transition
to
the
broader
Authority,
which
was
discussed
at
Council
a
couple
weeks
ago.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
the
outgoing
board
members
for
their
hard
work
and
dedication
over
this
the
past
five
years,
but
most
of
all
I'd
like
to
thank
our
existing
staff,
most
notably
our
executive
director
Zach.
This
has
been
a
period
of
transition.
There's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
in
the
public
domain
about
the
future
of
this
organization,
about
what
it's
going
to
hold
and
they
have
been
able
to
continue
to
grow.
N
The
organization,
expand
the
Mandate
and
do
excellent
work
all
under
that
uncertainty
in
that
cloud
next
slide,
please,
the
the
financials
for
the
organization
remain
in
a
good
position.
The
financials
for
the
year
left
us
in
a
net
positive
position.
The
you
can
see
the
continued
growth
of
the
outdoor
Vending
in
both
bayward
and
Parkdale.
This
is
move
back
to
kind
of
pre-pandemic
levels.
I,
don't
think
we're
there
yet,
but
we're
continuing
that
solid
transition.
The
continued
growth
of
that
outdoor
Market
continues,
based
on
the
strength
of
our
staff
and
I.
N
Think
Parkdale
has
never
been
stronger.
The
leasing
at
55
byword
and
70
clearance
is
at
100
percent
and
of
note,
as
we'll
look
on
the
next
page,
with
the
cash
balance.
When
we
first
took
over
this,
the
management
of
these
buildings
in
this
entity,
a
full
facilities
audit,
was
completed.
Significant
work
has
has
happened
on
the
facility
over
our
term,
but
we
recently
completed
a
new
audit
as
we
transitioned
to
the
authority,
which
was
starting
to
get
into
now
next
slide.
N
Please,
you
can
see
we
have
a
strong
cash
balance
that
is
not
all
just
available
cash.
A
significant
chunk
of
that
cash
has
tied
up
for
the
implementation
of
future
projects
that
have
been
identified
with
that
deferred.
Capital,
maintenance,
Safety
and
Security
continues
to
be
one
of
the
largest
expenses,
but
also
one
of
the
biggest
issues
in
the
area.
O
So,
over
the
last
few
years,
over
the
pandemic,
we've
been
working
hard
to
develop
and
lean
into
the
space
of
a
public
market.
That
is
the
trend
of
around
the
world.
In
terms
of
these
centers
that
used
to
perhaps
once
be
farmers,
markets
or
or
Food
Markets
only
are
evolving
into
larger
public
spaces.
You
can
see
from
our
website
again
which
will
transition
into
a
larger
District.
Authority
page
we've
been
modernizing
the
vendor
application
process.
O
So
again,
when
you
arrive
at
our
site,
you'll
be
able
to
do
this
process
predominantly
online,
where
in
the
past
believe
it
or
not
within
the
last
five
years.
This
was
all
paper
and
all
very
old-fashioned
to
a
certain
extent.
Next
slide,
please,
as
part
of
that,
what
you
can
see
are
our
offerings,
but
I
I
show
this
to
illustrate
how
flexible
we
need
to
be
in
the
public
market
space,
and
one
of
the
larger
things
that
a
district
Authority
is
going
to
have
to
deal
with
is
an
aging
infrastructure.
O
At
the
current
time,
we
use
a
combination
of
pop-up
tentsort
of
fabricated
structures
that
are
about
20,
25
years
old
and
special
Montage
pop-ups,
which
again,
we
hope
as
we
move
into
the
district
model.
We
have
more
flexibility
in
in
providing
what
is
set
up
on
site
next
slide,
please
and
as
well.
A
public
market
needs
to
have
very
clear
Rules
of
Engagement
for
public
spaces.
It
is
a
public
market,
it's
it's
meant
for
everyone
from
and
I
think
I
note
this
in
a
later
slide.
O
O
So,
over
the
five
years
we've
been
working
to
establish
and
grow,
as
I
mentioned
and
highlighted
with
the
online
portal.
The
public
market
program,
at
both
byword
and
and
Parkdale
the
idea
here
is:
we
want
to
be
an
attractive
location
for
vendors,
which
are
small
businesses
to
set
up
explore
their
concept
and
Advance
their
their
operations.
We've
made
key
steps
to
achieving
this
mandate.
We
established
a
farmer's
first
policy
as
well
as
we
repealed
and
reintroduced
an
operating
procedure
through
the
city
of
Ottawa
markets.
O
Bylaw,
our
Farmers
first
policy
guarantees
any
farmer
who
wants
to
come
down
to
our
public
markets,
priority
placement
and,
in
some
cases,
free
vending
fees
to
discounted
vending
fees
depending
on
their
operation.
We
have
established
a
program
for
events
in
markets
in
both
byward
and
Parkdale,
and
I
highlighted
that
you
can
go
online
and
you
can
look
at
where
you
want
to
host
your
activation
and-
and
you
can
see
how
you
can
engage
with
the
space.
I
really
can
can't
stress
how
important
this
is
to
moving
the
operation
forward.
Again.
O
This
is
a
business
model
that
was
predominantly
phone
calls
and
written
letters
before
sort
of
the
last
five
years,
we've
maintained
as
Brian
noted
90
or
over
90
percent
occupancy
in
our
historic
Market
building
working
with
our
tenants
and
our
prepared
food
providers
to
help
create
a
good
offering
on
a
consistent
basis
as
well.
We've
invested
in
infrastructure
such
as
accessible
washrooms,
enhanced
security
and
cleaning
measures.
Those
are
all
things
that
have
happened
over
the
last
five
years
and
I
will
highlight.
O
We
maintain
one
of
the
only
public
washrooms
in
the
byword
market
area,
which
is
incredibly
important,
and
that
comes
at
a
cost
to
the
The,
not-for-profit
Entity
as
well.
The
Redo
Center
does
offer
washrooms
as
well
it's
important
so
that
people
know
where
those
are
and
as
well,
we've
recently
transitioned
to
in-house
Property
Management.
Over
the
last
five
years,
we've
been
taking
the
time
to
learn
the
practice,
learn
the
business
and
then
we've
brought
it
in-house
to
make
it
fit
and
adapt
more
with
the
use
of
community
benefit
and
public
needs
next
slide.
O
Please,
the
vending
vending
is
the
all-important
component
of
our
Public
Market
program
in
2022.
Our
vendor
program
had
over
300
vendor
applications
and
half
were
licensed.
We,
we
obviously
don't
license
everyone
based
on
a
variety
of
factors
and
features
again
those
those
numbers
are
low
and
they
need
to
grow
over
the
number
of
years
or
then
years
ahead,
which
is
why
we've
been
working
to
modernize
our
application
process.
You
know
we
have
this.
O
This
Whimsical
dream
that
you
should
be
able
to
wake
up
in
BC
and
book,
a
summer's
worth
of
incubation
for
your
business
by
traveling
across
to
public
markets,
and
we
should
be
part
of
that
that
Network,
where
you
can
come
to
Ottawa,
you
can
test
your
product,
it's
good
for
everybody,
it's
good
for
visitors,
it's
good
for
tourism.
We
have
a
very
successful
Night
Market
program,
more
so
in
Wellington
West
with
the
Parkdale
Night
Market.
Can't
thank
the
community
enough.
O
We've
launched
this
program
in
byword
and
are
starting
to
see
it
grow
with
some
unique
offerings
on
William
Street,
which
we
maintain
as
a
pedestrian
location
as
well
and
I
know
that
the
conversation
about
farmers
and
produce
comes
up
quite
a
bit
in
in
conversations.
Our
mandate
is
to
provide
access
to
good
quality
produce
for
individuals
within
the
market
seven
days
a
week,
and
we
do
that.
We
do
that
through
a
wholesale
program
which
is
Ontario
and
Canadian
product,
only
that's
for
sale.
One
of
the
things-
that's
that's
very
important.
O
When
we
talk
about
farmers
and
and
that
business
is,
we
have
to
keep
in
mind.
Access
to
a
farmer's
market
isn't
always
the
most
accessible
thing
for
communities.
When
you
look
at
the
pricing
of
those
products
and
and
how
you
get
them
and
and
what
goes
into
it.
So
through
our
wholesale
program,
we
we
aim
to
keep
those
prices
low
and
we
aim
to
make
sure
that
that
that
is
available
on
the
market
seven
days
a
week.
O
O
Free
seating
is
something
that
we
do
on
William
Street
and
a
family
who's,
maybe
just
arrived
in
Ottawa
or
a
family,
going
through
hardships
and
and
just
wants
a
place
to
be
around
people.
These
spaces
are
important
to
that.
You
can
see
we're
highlighting
here.
Caravive
summer
solstice
indigenous
Festival,
Latin
Fest,
the
old
Mike
City
sounds
Pride
Market
vegan,
who
snack
you
can
see
them
there
a
few
examples
again.
Working
with
these
organizers.
O
We
often
can
create
a
really
fun
free
to
access
space
that
provides
a
variety
of
different
cultural
exposure
points
for
for
people
in
their
their
communities
and
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
really
great
interests
and
events
being
organized
by
the
various
communities
within
Ottawa
and
so
I.
Thank
them
for
their
interest
in
coming
to
both
byword
and
Parkdale
next
slide
as
well.
Just
really
want
to
highlight.
O
It
was
pretty
neat
to
have
the
future
king
or
King
Charles
come
to
the
area
in
the
only
public
visit
on
that
tour
highlights
the
importance
of
byword
in
terms
of
the
history
that
it
has
to
this
city
and
and
and
how
we
we
need
to
build
that
into
our
planning.
We
welcome
back
winterlude,
which
was
something
that
had
sort
of
been
on
pause
in
the
area
and
working
with
Canadian
Heritage
in
the
Bia.
We
were
able
to
deploy
a
really
fun
evening
program.
O
Hopefully,
next
year
the
the
weather
will
cooperate
a
little
bit
more.
We
also
repurposed
the
second
floor
of
the
Heritage
building
into
a
free
gallery.
Gallery
55..
That's
there
for
Community
shows
right
now,
I'd
encourage
everybody
to
check
it
out.
We
have
all
the
most
known
or
unknown
graffiti
artists
in
the
city,
who
came
together
with
House
of
paint
to
do
a
really
fun
display
on
their
boards
up
there.
O
So
I'd
encourage
you
to
come
in
and
check
it
out
and
then
as
well
we're
beginning
to
transition
to
the
management
of
the
plazas
as
a
district
Authority,
taking
on
the
Ottawa
letters
this
year
for
the
illumination
program
and
doing
a
little
bit
more
programming
there
and
I'm
excited
to
say
that
we've
also
launched
our
own
Gateway
Information
Program,
which
aims
to
cover
off
a
former
program
the
Bia
had
and
ours
which
partnered
with
Ontario,
made
to
highlight
that
great
product
next
slide
again.
I
would
be
remiss
to
not
mention.
O
Next
slide
and
I'll
conclude
by
saying
Ottawa
markets
soon
to
be
the
amalgamation
of
both
the
Bia
and
Ottawa
markets.
As
the
byward
district
Authority
is
a
founding
member
of
the
market
cities
Network.
This
is
a
network
of
public
markets
around
the
world
that
meet
and
share
information
on
how
the
management
and
operations
of
these
spaces
are
happening.
O
The
the
movement
into
a
district
Authority
is
going
to
provide
a
lot
of
great
opportunities
to
manage
the
public
space
in
a
fun
and
inviting
way,
but
it's
also
going
to
create,
hopefully
some
more
importance
for
folks,
as
we
are
achieving
one
of
the
core
recommendations
of
where
this
all
started
in
2013
with
the
projects
for
public
spaces
report.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I'll
pass
it
back
to
Brian.
N
Next
slide,
please
so
for
our
our
last
slide,
we're
just
talking
about
the
expanded
operations.
The
expanded
operations
truly
allows
us
to
do
more
as
a
Heritage
District
to
be
a
true
advocate
in
central
Authority,
enhancing
the
resident
visitor
experience
through
better
integrated
public
realm
management,
public
markets,
better
animation,
branding
and
pageantry,
and
providing
a
single
source
and
single
location
for
people
to
go
to
in
the
byword
market,
an
undertaking
initiatives
to
help
improve
Community
safety
and
well-being.
N
P
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
to
Brian
and
Zach.
Obviously,
the
market
is
very
special
to
me.
It's
where
I
first
had
I
had
my
first
job
when
I
first
moved
to
Ottawa
I
worked
at
the
cabin.
If
any
of
you
remember
that
place
so
I
just
I
had
a
couple
questions.
Some
of
them
came
from
residence
yesterday
and
it
won't
take
too
much
time.
I
hope
so.
I
was
just
wondering
you
mentioned
that
you
are.
You
have
private
security
in
the
market
like
has
that?
Has
that
cost
stabilized?
O
Yes,
it
is
increasing,
I
would
say
it's
increasing
at
an
unsustainable
rate.
One
of
the
key
things
for
the
next
board
will
be
to
consider
how
we
address
that
in
a
more
sustainable
way,
whether
that's
taking
it
in
adjusting
our
service
or
expanding
it
in
terms
of
putting
it
out
there
to
businesses
to
participate
in
the
program.
P
N
The
the
original
mandate
included
a
requirement
to
create
a
code
of
conduct
which
included
a
conflict
of
interest
policy
for
the
organization.
There
is
a
three-page
draft
to
conflict
of
interest
policy,
and
that
will
be
a
requirement
of
all
the
directors
to
review
that
and
sign
that
it
includes
the
requirement
of
directors
if
they
have
a
perceived
a
real
conflict
of
interest
to
recuse
themselves.
It
also
gives
the
board
the
authority
to
ask
members
to
recuse
themselves
if
they
don't
do
it
individually.
P
N
Yes
or
have
other
board
members
felt
that
they
could
have
a
perceived
conflict
of
interest
in
the
making
of
that
decision,
that
we
would
ask
them
to
leave
the
room
for
that
decision
as
well,
so
that
is
included
in
the
code
of
conduct
policy
and
I'm
happy
to
share
that
with
you.
If
you
would
like
well,
you
will
actually
get
access
to
that.
As
you
become
an
observer
of
the
board.
Wonderful.
O
Yeah,
so
the
thank
you
for
the
the
question
in
around
55
byword.
We
close
a
segment
we'll
call
it
segment,
two
of
William
Street
and
we
install
seating
for
pedestrians
there,
which
closes
that
that
piece
from
time
to
time.
We
work
with
the
event
Central,
whether
it's
events
under
500
or
events
over
500
to
close
down
streets
on
a
temporary
basis,
and
then
this
year
we've
not
closed
any
additional
streets.
O
Less
byward,
Market,
Square
North,
where
Zach's
Waddell
are,
and
that
was
at
the
request
of
all
of
those
businesses.
So
I
know
it's
something
that
your
office
is
very
keen
on,
and
we're
excited
to
move
forward
in
the
coming
year
years
to
put
together
a
more
consistent,
pedestrianization
plan
which
can
have
some
flexibility
into
the
evenings
for
for
a
number
of
those
businesses
as
well.
P
N
The
the
reference
to
the
public
market
does
come
up
several
times
in
the
Mandate.
Parkdale
has
the
new
name
as
the
byword
Market
District
Authority.
We
felt
that
the
inclusion
of
Parkdale,
specifically
mentioned
by
name,
was
very
important
to
understand
that
it
is
a
component
of
Ottawa
markets.
It
is
a
component
of
this
organization
and
it's
almost
a
victim
of
its
own
success,
where
it
has
been
so
elegantly
and
well
run
that
it's
just
kind
of
managing
on
its
own,
but
it
is
still
a
part
of
the
organization.
P
Okay
and
then
my
last
question
is
you
mentioned
an
in-house
Property
Management?
Are
you
working
with
the
city
on
that
I'm
confused
because
we
we
did
have
a
meeting
about
three
months
ago
with
the
leadership
table
and
a
lot
of
the
vendors
and
restaurants
and
bars
came
in.
We
heard
a
very
comprehensive
plan
from
the
city
about
cleanliness
in
the
bywords.
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
reconcile
what
you
said
and
then
what
we
discussed
at
that
meeting.
O
O
The
in-house
Property
Management
that
we
run
is
more
the
management
of
the
tenants
and
their
leases
within
the
building
and
our
requirements
through
the
service
agreement.
So
that's
the
public
washrooms,
that's
the
cleanliness
of
the
building.
You
know
the
other
day
we
we
painted
all
the
doors
and
and
that's
wild,
how
much
of
an
improvement
that
made
to
the
the
space.
So
that's
that's
our
level
and
then,
as
well
through
the
service
agreement,
negotiation
process
we'll
be
establishing
what
those
specific
thresholds
are
for.
The
larger
District
Authority.
But
we've
heard
very
clearly
from
businesses.
O
Tenants,
vendors,
that
an
increased
standard
of
of
care
to
the
sidewalks
to
the
roadways
is
is
required
and
we
just
need
to
identify
how
we
we
gain
the
revenue
to
do
that
and
to
execute
it.
But
I
will
say
the
city
and
their
teams
have
been
very
responsive
to
coming
out
and
helping
us
out
with
that.
So
I
really
do
need
to
to
stress
that
they
work
quite
hard.
P
I
agree:
I,
just
you
did
very
quickly
mention
the
public
bathroom
that's
available
at
55.
By
word.
To
your
knowledge.
Is
that
the
only
available
public
bathroom
that
you
guys
provide
in
the
byword
market,
because
that's
probably
the
number
one
question
I
get
from
Toddlers
to
seniors
to
everyone-
is
the
access
to
public
bathrooms
in
the
market.
Yes,.
O
So
it
is
to
our
knowledge,
less
the
Rito
Center
there
is
access
there,
but
the
Heritage
building
is
is
sort
of
just
that
Landmark.
So
everybody
all
the
bus
tours
come
through
and
and
utilize
that
washroom.
It
is
something
that
we're
putting
together
a
refurbishment
plan
actually
right
now,
just
based
on
wear
and
tear
you'd,
be
surprised
what
the
wear
and
tear
on
the
plumbing
for
that
facility
actually
is.
We
we
probably
have
a
plumber
coming
in
once
or
twice
a
week
just
dealing
with
with
pipes
from
those
washrooms.
R
R
O
No
so
Parkdale
and
byword
were
pretty
consistent.
Revenue
numbers,
pre-pandemic
right
pandemic
hit
and
byword
took
a
much
more
of
the
hit
than
Parkdale
and
I.
Think
it's
just
the
size
of
the
space.
We
were
able
to
build
back
a
program
at
Parkdale
from
online
sales
vendor
setups
to
having
the
park
there
and
it's
a
much
tighter
space.
O
It
made
it
a
little
bit
more
attractive.
We
think
for
for
customers
and
and
vendors.
The
other
thing
to
really
highlight
I
think
also
somewhat
of
the
under
undertold
story.
Is
you
have
to
look
at
the
household
incomes
in
and
around
the
Wellington
West
Parkdale
area
versus
the
household
incomes
in
and
around
the
byword
and
and
Parkdale
or
in
around
the
byword
market?
O
You
know
last
I,
checked
I,
think
it's
25
lower
than
anywhere
else
in
in
the
city
at
about
45
50
000
income.
So
that's
that
really
is
where
you
can
sort
of
draw
that
line.
Folks
were
coming
out
less
than
around
the
byword
area.
Maybe
they
were
going
out,
exploring
the
city
more
and
then
I'm
always
hesitant
to
to
highlight
this,
but
the
perceived
and
actual
concerns
about
safety.
O
R
R
I
believe
that
the
moves
that
we're
making
with
respect
to
a
district
Authority
are
necessary
to
bring
back
the
byword
market
as
a
larger
tourist
area
as
a
gathering
place
for
all
outdoor
residents,
but
I
I
hope.
The
Parkdale
Market
will
continue
to
see
investment
commensurate
with
the
profits
that
it
that
it
creates.
O
Yeah
I
think
the
the
goal
for
us.
What
you'll
see
in
particular
is
starting
to
give
Parkdale
its
own
full
identity.
You
know
really
stepping
into
that
space
and
it's
still
part
of
the
the
markets
program,
Our
Heritage
markets,
but
really
working
in
that
area
to
to
not
carve
it
out
but
better
Define
it
as
it's
as
its
own
own
space.
O
One
thing
I'd,
also
just
like
to
highlight
really
quickly,
is
on
the
farming
piece.
That's
that's
a
real,
Challenge
and
I
know
counselor
that
you've
brought
that
up
in
the
past,
I'd
encourage
all
counselors
to
take
a
look
at
a
report
that
was
just
issued
or
a
study
that
was
just
issued
written
about
in
the
CBC.
O
This
is
a
big
big
issue
right:
food
security,
where
we're
going
with
all
these
things,
Canada
lost
the
equivalent
of
seven
small
farms
a
day
over
the
last
20
years
right.
So
it's
a
significant
significant
amount
that
we're
losing
in
agriculture
and
with
our
product,
so
places
like
Parkdale
and
like
byword,
are
going
to
become
more
and
more
important
to
provide
a
space
for
individuals
to
provide.
You
know,
well-priced
accessible
produce.
So
thanks
for
the
question:
okay.
R
O
Is
a
must
attend
event:
it
is
Saturday
August
20th
between
5
PM
and
9
p.m.
It
is
a
very
wonderful
event
in
Parkdale
I'd
encourage
everybody
to
check
it
out.
It's
it's
one
of
the
few
family
oriented
activities
over
Pride,
which
we
got
a
lot
of
feedback
about
which
was
great
and
can't
thank
our
partner
on
that
little
Joe
Berry
is
enough
who
operates
out
of
the
area
and
that's
been
a
great
partnership.
Thank.
S
You
so
much
chair.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
to
being
here,
I
worked
for
many
years
in
the
market
on
Clarence
Street,
I
love
the
pedestrianization
of
William,
I
love,
Parkdale,
Market,
I'm,
sort
of
I
live
kind
of
between
the
two
markets.
We've
heard
a
lot,
though,
about
the
difficulty
in
attracting
farmers
and
food
vendors
to
the
byword
and
from
what
I
could
tell
my
understanding
is
a
lot
of
farmers
are
enjoying
this
sort
of
once
a
week,
rotational
markets
that
mean
they
don't
have
to
maintain
a
stall
the
whole
time.
O
Yeah
great
great
question,
one
of
the
things
before
I
sort
of
dive
into
this.
That
I
think
is
really
important:
a
vendor
whether
that
be
a
farmer
or
a
wholesaler
or
an
artisan
are
small
businesses.
You
know
they
they
margins,
how
they
operate
their
product.
These
are
things
that
are
going
through
their
mind
and
so
the
single
day
farmers
markets
that
have
popped
up
around
the
city.
I.
O
Think
at
this
point,
there's
there's
potentially
22
of
them
are
beloved
by
their
neighborhoods
and
are
a
good
business
model
for
a
lot
of
those
vendors
right.
They
they
can
see
a
sales
of
3
500
to
4
500
over
the
few
hours
that
they're
there,
and
then
they
go
back,
produce
their
product
and
come
back
right
now
in
byword
and
under
the
current
I
guess,
the
the
former
current
Mandate
of
our
organization.
O
We
were
a
seven
day
a
week,
operation
for
Farm
produce
and
product,
and
that's
something
in
the
next
phase
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
more
specifically,
you
know:
can
we
bring
in
some
of
these
operators
to
do
their
single
day,
Farmer
Market
in
in
byword?
That's
not
to
say
we
haven't
tried
to
have
those
conversations,
but
I
think
we
now
have
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
as
the
operating
procedures
and
the
legislation
that
we're
putting
through
here
a
allows
us
to
to
do.
O
For
example,
previously
we
were
very
limited
on
bringing
food
trucks
in
or
food
trucks
at
all.
That's
now
something
that
we
have
the
flexibility
to
to
work
with
and
and
deploy
in
the
area.
Byword
is
a
bit
more
difficult
from
a
business
perspective,
bricks
and
mortar,
because
we
need
to
balance
the
interests
of
those
who
are
paying
to
be
in
a
bricks
and
mortar
location
versus
our
discounted
rates
for
outdoor
vending,
and
that's
where
that
real
sort
of
strategic
look
at.
Where
do
we
place
people?
How
does
that
work?
O
What
do
those
structures
actually
look
like
so
I'm,
very
optimistic
that
over
the
next
year,
plus
you're
going
to
start
to
see
a
very
focused
recruitment
campaign
on
bringing
prepared
foods
back
to
to
the
area
bringing
produce
back
in
that
one
day,
pop-up
space?
If
we
can,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
need
to
to
invest
in
some
of
those
safety
pieces,
some
of
those
infrastructure
pieces
in
byword,
so
that
we
can
be
competitive
for
forbend.
S
It's
great,
thank
you.
So
much,
and
the
only
thing
I'll
just
say
is
a
number
of
food
security
organizations
in
our
city,
including
the
Parkdale
food
center
and
the
center
Town
food
cupboard
in
my
neighborhood
are
moving
to
more
of
a
market
or
a
grocery
style
model
where
people
have
points
and
they
can
come
shop
using
those
points,
just
like
everyone
else,
and
we
also
know
the
Mission
Food
Truck
is
frequently
seen
in
our
neighborhoods.
So
it
would
be
really
great.
O
Wonderful
recommendation,
the
two
things
that
I
just
highlight
there
that
I
was
remiss
to
say
we
started
a
program
in
byword
with
Chef
Rick,
where
we
give
out
free
meals
once
a
month
on
the
Plaza.
That's
for
everyone.
We
want
everybody
to
come
and
have
a
meal
and
be
in
the
public
space
and
then
at
Parkdale
I
believe
it
was
last
year
our
market
manager
and
worked
with
their
team,
and
we
did
Market
vouchers
and
folks
were
able
to
go
in
and
purchase
product
with
with
those.
O
T
O
Yeah
I
think
there's
a
there's
a
few
things
to
that.
So
three
years
ago,
when
I
three
four
years
ago
started
working
with
with
Ottawa
markets,
one
of
the
major
things
for
us
was
the
operating
procedure
of
the
market,
which
is
the
repeal
of
the
former
bylaw
and
the
introduction
of
our
operating
procedure
within
that
we
wrote
into
it
that
no
imported
produce
could
be
sold
on
the
market.
So
what
do
we
mean
by?
That?
Is
everybody
references,
the
you
know
the
the
byword
pineapples
or
the
byword
bananas?
O
O
Farmers
are
not
there
for
you
to
feel
good
they're
there
to
make
money
and
to
provide
you
with
with
good
food,
and
they
will
do
that
where,
where
they
can
make
the
most
amount
of
money
for
their
product,
so
Our
intention
with
the
wholesale
program
was
to
continue
to
be
able
to
provide
produce
at
an
affordable
rate,
seven
days
a
week
as
our
mandate
indicated,
so
we
adjusted
and
and
tried
to
Target.
The
concerns
of
you
know:
people
showing
up
with
with
crates
of
product
that
they've
picked
up
from
you
know.
O
A
Depot
from
coming
in
from
Mexico
steel
product
is
coming
in
from
a
Depot
I
mean
that's
how
your
your
grocery
stores
and
and
a
lot
of
places
get
get
their
product,
but
it
is
Ontario
and
Canadian,
and
then
the
other
piece
that
I
would
add
to
that
is
I.
Think
there's
a
there's
a
place
for
both
to
coexist.
O
I
mentioned
that
family,
you
know
or
individual
who,
who
might
have
a
lower
income.
You
know
sure
they
can
walk
through
the
market
and
have
a
great
experience,
but
they
can't
afford
that
that
small
bin
of
you
know
four
tomatoes
for
eight
nine
dollars,
but
they
can't
afford
to
buy
a
few
Tomatoes
at
a
lower
price
that
are
still
Ontario
products.
So
it's
about
balancing
access
to
food
and
I
think
there's
two
components
to
operating:
Farmers
Market.
O
O
U
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation
and
I
think
my
question
logically
follows
the
line
of
questioning
from
councilor
Charleston
Council
Lowe,
you've
spoken
a
lot
about.
We
talked
a
lot
about
local
producers,
local
product
and
the
importance
of
that
and
I
I
personally
feel,
like
you
know,
you
talked
to
just
now
about
food
access
and
food
security.
We're
not
quite
there
yet
I
think
it's
a
a
big
concern.
The
situation
that
we
find
ourselves
in
and
I
always
think
you
know
next
pandemic.
U
If
they
don't
just
shut
the
border
down
to
Travelers
and
they
shut
it
down
to
commercial
Enterprises.
We
we
at
any
time
only
have
a
two-day
supply
of
food
in
our
country
and
I
I.
Don't
think
people
realize
how
dire
the
situation
is,
and
so
my
question
to
you,
you
know:
you're,
looking
at
promoting
local
food,
you've
talked
about
the
loss
of
farms.
We've
seen
some
real
successes
in
this
country,
based
on
provincial
investment,
for
example,
Quebec's
reached
50
self-sufficiency
for
fruits
and
vegetables
based
on
their
provincial
investment
in
in
Greenhouse
houses.
U
O
Thank
you.
Someone
like
me,
loves
a
question
like
like
that.
There's
a
lot
we
can
explore.
I
would
say
really
three
things,
one
as
a
city
I
think
we're
taking
the
right
steps
in
terms
of
the
district
Authority,
creating
spaces
for
pop-up
markets.
You
know
these
these
single
day
markets
are
beloved
by
by
their
neighborhoods
I
think
locally.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and,
and
perhaps
we
can
help
do
this
in
coordinating
the
networks
of
markets,
you
know
coordinating
the
promotion
making.
O
Sure
people
are
are
aware
of
where
all
of
these
markets
are
how
to
access
food
and
the
tradition
of
our
grand
markets
of
of
byword
and
Parkdale
and
how
they
relate.
The
second
point
there
is,
you
know,
I,
think
and
and
dare
I
say
it
is
a
question
for
our
provincial
Representatives
around
that
table.
As
I
said,
you
know,
on
Ontario
losing
1.7
million
Acres
of
Farmland.
In
the
face
of
you,
know
the
green
belt
project,
that's
going
on
I.
O
Think
your
your
assessment
or
your
concern
about
what's
going
to
happen
to
food
Security
in
the
next
pandemic
is
is
very
real.
If
we
have
a
heat
Dome
that
Parks
itself
over
Ontario,
we
could
see
some
some
dramatic
economic
impacts
related
to
that.
The
third
thing
that
I
would
say
is
I
think
you
know
whether
it's
at
the
city
level,
provincial
level
or
the
federal
level
I
think
taking
food
security
a
little
bit
more
seriously
in
terms
of
what
does
that
actually
mean?
What
is
the
cost
of
food?
O
You
know
we
hear
today
on
the
news:
there's
not
enough
competition
in
in
the
grocery
Market,
but
yet
we're
struggling
to
sort
of
compete
with
these.
These
larger
groups,
so
I
think
you
know
every
city,
every
Province
and
and
most
MPS
really
frankly
should
be
building
food
in
to
their
conversations.
The
same
way
that
we
built
the
environment
in
over
the
last
number
of
years.
U
E
E
V
You
I
do
thank
you,
and
this
is
seconded
by
councilor
leaper.
Thank
you.
Counselor
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
line
a
free
library
box
will
only
be
permitted
within
the
right
of
way
along
a
roadway
classified
as
a
local
Road
in
table.
Three
in
the
staff
report
be
revised
as
follows:
a
free
library
box
will
only
be
permitted
within
the
right-of-way,
along
a
roadway
classified
as
a
local,
Road
or
collector
Road,
or
on
a
roadway
classified
as
an
arterial
Road
on
a
side
that
includes
a
sidewalk.
V
I
did
circulate
an
email
yesterday
to
council
I.
Think
in
my
view,
we
need
to
be
as
permissive
as
possible
when
it
comes
to
little
free
libraries
and
if
we
were
to
limit
these
to
local
roads,
it
would
eliminate
the
possibility
on
many
many
roads
in
my
community
and
I'm
sure
many
others
where
there
are
existing
libraries
located.
L
Thank
you,
mayor
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
the
committee
for
their
good
work.
I
know
last
week
it
was
a
long
meeting
and
I'm
happy
to
see
some
movement
on
this
matter
and
I
want
to
speak
on
a
few
items
that
I
and
I
know
others
have
heard
from
various
stakeholders
around
the
city
and
and
they
focus
on
three
main
issues.
One
is
the
height
restriction
of
plants
or
foliage
that
can
be
grown
on
the
right-of-way
or
raised
beds.
L
The
the
the
ability
for
people
to
have
raised
beds
and
the
actual
production
are
growing.
A
food
within
the
right-of-way
lands
and
I'll
take
those
in
reverse
order.
So
my
understanding
is
staff
have
agreed
to
report
back
to
the
committee
with
respect
to
the
matter
of
growing
food
on
the
right-of-way
by
Q2
of
2024,
based
on
information
from
Public,
Health,
Ontario
and
perhaps
others.
L
People
are
concerned
who
have
been
growing
beans
and
other
sort
of
low
low
height
vegetables,
on
right
of
way
that
the
bilofs
or
will
show
up
tomorrow
and
start
plucking
vegetables
that
have
been
planted.
Can
staff
comment
on
what
the
intent
will
be
once
this
is
passed
today
for
people
who
do
plant
in
the
bylaw
very
low
height
type
of
of
food,
in
particular?
What
the
outcome
will
be
in
this
regard,.
W
L
The
other
item
are
raised
beds
and
again.
I
acknowledge
that
the
committee
approved
that
all
hard
Landscaping
be
prohibited
in
the
right
of
way.
But
in
my
discussions
with
staff
and
again
emphasizing
that,
there's
strong
interest
in
raised
beds
have
agreed
on
a
direction
to
staff
and
and
if
there's
any
discussion
needed.
L
Of
course,
staff
are
are
here
to
to
answer
to
that,
and
my
direction
to
staff
on
this
matter
is
simply
that
staff
be
directed
to
review
the
matter
of
allowing
planter
boxes
on
the
right-of-way
as
part
of
its
report
back
on
the
growing
of
food
on
the
right-of-way
before
the
end
of
Q2
2024.
So
this
does
not
close
the
door
on
raised
beds.
It
allows
staff
to
look
at
options
and
perhaps
best
practices
and
and
incorporate
that
back
in
the
report
at
the
end
of
Q2
of
2024.
L
Colleagues,
you've
received
communication
from
various
stakeholders
that
talks
about
other
municipalities,
Calgary
Halifax,
Mississauga,
Oakville,
Regina,
Saskatoon,
St,
Catharines,
Vancouver,
North,
Vancouver,
Winnipeg,
all
out
plants
of
one
meter
in
height,
and
then
other
municipalities
is
either
80
centimeters
or
90
wealth,
London,
Sarnia,
Toronto,
Whitby
and
Windsor
and
again
local
Advocates
are
saying
we
should
be
at
least
one
meter
as
well.
The
25
Center
20
25
centimeter
difference
is
negligible
in
this
regard.
Neighboring
cities
have
safely
and
successfully
permitted
Boulevard
plantings
of
up
to
one
meter
in
height
for
years.
L
Instead
of
correlating
plant
height
regulations
with
actual
health
and
safety
standards,
75
centimeters
is
imposed
for
convenience
of
aligning
the
fence
and
Boulevard
Garden
by
lies.
Bylaws,
so
I
believe
that
there's
a
motion
in
this
regard
for
my
colleague,
counselor
Menard
I,
will
just
close
by
saying
I
do
support
the
overall
intent
of
what's
coming
out
of
committee.
L
We
definitely
had
to
take
and
make
some
improvements
with
respect
to
what
is
planned
and
grown
within
the
right
of
way,
but,
as
we've
heard
from
from
local
stakeholders
and
Advocates,
there
is
room
for
improvement
here
and
on
plant
height
I'll
yield
to
counselor
Menard
to
speak
to
that
matter.
Thank
you,
mayor.
J
With
regard
to
the
the
total
height
limit,
I'll
put
the
motion
on
the
table
now
mayor
I
think
this
would
be
something
that
would
harmonize
with
other
cities
across
the
country
and
would
like
to
just
consider
it
as
part
of
this
discussion,
so
I'll
I'll
I
can
avoid
some
of
the,
whereas
Clauses
and
just
read.
It
therefore
be
resolved.
J
It's
at
the
height
restrictions
for
planting
in
the
right-of-way
being
posed
at
one
meter
rather
than
0.75
meters,
aside
from
visibility
triangles,
which
were
mentioned
by
staff
and,
as
already
otherwise
specified
around
City
infrastructure
like
hydrants,
hydropools
and
bus
stops.
This
would
harmonize
ourselves
with
many
other
cities
that
already
do
this.
That
don't
have
those
those
you
know
safety
concerns
and
is
a
good
practice
when
it
comes
to
things
like
plants
with
more
height
which
have
a
greater
root
depth.
J
It's
a
question:
more
carbon,
better
filter,
storm
water
and,
of
course,
people
have
been
doing
this
anyway.
So
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we're
already
doing
this,
we're
just
not
enforcing
it,
and
it's
been
a
good
practice,
so
I'll
put
that
on
the
table
and
appreciate
staff's
good
work
on
this
one
clear
point
of
clarification:
I
think
a
lot
of
residents
feel
like
we're
being
more
restrictive
or
the
media's
been
talking
about
more
restricted,
we're
actually
being
less
restrictive.
We're
just
updating
our
our
bylaws
with
this.
J
So
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
good
work
on
this.
It's
been
a
lot
of
work,
I
know
and
you've
had
a
lot
of
feedback
come
in,
but
there's
a
lot
of
good
coming
out
of
this
and
I
know
when
oph
comes
back
with
more
information
too,
around
plantings,
I
hope
that
we
see
more
permissibility
here.
So
thank
you.
Thanks
to
staff.
Thank.
R
Thank
you
mayor.
That's
that's
going
to
be
stuck
in
my
head
all
day.
Oh
stop
so
colleague
said
you
know.
Obviously,
I
am
seeking
a
bylaw,
that's
going
to
be
as
permissive
as
possible,
but
still
guess
the
the
the
large
buy-in
from
from
everyone
around
the
table
so
I'll
be
happy
to
support
councilman's
motion
I
I'm
speaking
at
this
moment.
Just
to
specifically
ask
that
you
support
councilor
gower's
motion
with
broadening
the
number
of
streets
on
which
little
free
libraries
can
go
kitchen.
R
Sippy
Ward
is
characterized
by
an
arterial
road.
Every
few
blocks,
Churchill
Kirkwood
Parkdale,
obviously
are
are
heavily
traveled
pedestrian
streets
and
very
residential
in
character.
You
take
a
look
at
Sherwood
Gladstone,
you
know.
Clearly
these
are
Streets
On,
which
I
believe
we
should
be
able
to
put
a
little
free
libraries,
so
I
do
hope
that
colleagues
will
support
that
that
motion
by
counselor
Gower
thanks
chair.
T
Thank
you
mayor.
Similarly,
I
do
want
to
speak
in
support
of
council
gower's
motion
because
sometimes
when
I
get
bored,
I
go
around
the
ward
by
foot
or
by
bus
or
by
car,
and
a
lot
of
these
little
libraries
are
on
collector
streets
and
by
restricting
to
only
local
roads
we
would
actually
lose
sorry.
There
is
the
potential
to
lose
a
number
of
these
local
libraries
and
they
are
valuable
assets
in
the
community
anyway,
that
point
aside,
I
do
have
a
question
for
staff
about
the
Brockington
Direction.
T
If
we
were
to
allow
like
there
are
legislative
rights
for
utilities
to
access
our
rights
of
way
to
get
to
their
right
of
ways
to
get
to
their
assets.
If
we
were
to
allow
planner
boxes,
would
that
hinder
that
and
are
there
what
sort
of
implications
are
there
for
the
municipality
if
we
deny
them
or
hinder
those
legislative
rights.
T
Y
I'd
like
to
know
what
the
plan
is
from
from
City
staff
on
actually
promoting
to
encourage
these
things.
We
we
know
we
need
more
pollinator
Gardens,
we
need
more
variety
of
and
grass
just
doesn't
do
it,
so
this
is
going
in
the
right
direction
for
just
climate
change.
Overall,
what
kind
of
plans
do
we
have
for
communication
of
that.
Y
I
appreciate
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
proactive
rather
than
you
know
this,
is
you
know
you
can
barely
do
these
things?
Obviously,
there's
a
lot
of
enthusiasm
and
I
and
I
want
to
give
thanks
to
my
Council
colleagues
who
brought
forward
this
so
that
we
can
have
this
discussion
and
we're
moving
forward,
there's
still
some
nitpicky
stuff
that
we
have
to
deal
with
like
what's
under
a
tree.
Y
You
know
ground
cover
that
kind
of
thing
which
I
I
think
we
can
just
relax
about,
and
and
let's
let's,
hopefully
we
can
work.
Those
things
out.
I
mean
some
of
us,
like
counselor
Menard
have
been
breaking
the
rules
forever
so
without
even
knowing
it.
So
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
actually
promote
positive
things
and
and
put
it
in
the
light
of
of
climate
change
and
what
we
can
all
do
to
make
good
use
of
these
spaces.
Thank
you.
Z
Z
Understood
so
just
just
to
be
clear,
then
the
possibility
of
the
Amendments
and
do
you
do
you
have
a
a
Folsom
like
list
of
of
concerns
from
the
accessibility
advisory
Community
when
it
comes
to
use
the
right
away,
so
I
mean
we're
talking
about
moving
the
little
libraries
they
were
presented
with
a
plan
where
there
would
be
a
one
meter.
One
meter
from
the
curb
before
you'd
see
one
of
these
little
libraries.
Z
Z
AA
Mayor
with
respect
to
just
to
clarify,
if
I
understand
the
question
is,
is
would
the
amended
motions
provide
or
would
they
would
they
cause
a
city
to
breach
any
of
its
contractual
or
legal
obligations?
With
respect
to
the
right-of-way
I
think
those
are
largely
legal
they're,
not
contractual
obligations,
they're
statutory
obligations,
but
they
exist
for
the
municipality.
They
exists
for
the
homeowner
as
well
and
I
think
it
is
not
as
much
of
a
concern
in
terms
of
the
city
permitting
these
kinds
of
things.
AA
The
city
does,
in
some
instances
permit
encroachments
within
the
right-of-way
I
think
it
is.
It
is
incumbent
on
the
landowner
at
that
point
or
the
property
owner
who's.
Looking
to
install
these
things,
to
appreciate
that,
in
the
event
that
access
is
required
by
any
of
the
the
providers
who
require
access
to
their
infrastructure
within
the
right-of-way
that
there
may
be
no
obligation
to
return
it
to
the
state
that
it
was
in
prior
to
access.
Z
So
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
throughout
this
that
we
make
that
entirely
clear
to
residents
chair
kids.
Do
we
have
an
initial
response
from
from
Ottawa
Public
Health
on
the
planting
of
fruits
and
vegetables,
given
the
use
of
road,
salt
and
presence
of
animal
waste
in
the
proximity
of
the
roadway.
AB
AB
However,
when
they
did
their
review
of
the
pros
and
cons
of
growing
produce
in
the
row,
they
didn't,
they
couldn't
find
easily
find
evidence
for
making
a
decision
on
a
recommendation.
So
a
request
has
been
made
to
Public
Health
Ontario,
which
is
an
agency
that
does
provide
expert
guidance
and
evidence
to
shape
Health
policy.
AB
Z
I
think
at
this
point,
I
I
would
prefer
to
have
the
accessibility
advisory
committee
consulted
on
on
these
changes
prior
to
us,
bringing
it
Forward
again.
I
mean
I.
Think
I
harp
on
this,
almost
every
single
time
that
we
get
a
staff
report
and
then
make
ad
hoc
changes
to
a
committee
and
then
bring
it
directly
to
council
right
afterwards
without
doing
our
due
diligence
is
that
we
don't
have
all
of
the
information
from
all
of
the
agencies
required
to
make
this
decision
today.
Z
I
I
I
do
really
appreciate
councilor
councilor
Menard's
direction
to
look
at
at
different
fruit
trees.
I
do
have
a
service
barrier.
It
was
the
only
one
that
was
available
it
planted
in
my
right-of-way
through
trees
and
trust.
It
does
attract
a
great
amount
of
birds,
but
they
eat
the
berries
before
we
get
a
chance
to
get
out
there.
Usually
they're
they're,
pretty
quick,
pretty
quick
on
that,
but
we
do
get.
Z
You
know
a
wide
variety
of
Cardinals
and
robins
and
whatnot,
it's
quite
lovely-
to
to
have
them
out
there,
but
yeah
to
your
point,
I
think
that
it
would
be
important
to
be
able
to
kind
of
change,
James
switch
it
up
and
have
a
little
bit
more
variety,
and
maybe
we
could
get
a
pear
tree
with
a
with
a
partridge
in
it
as
well.
All
right
thanks,
Mr.
U
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
and
I.
Just
have
a
question:
I
guess
to
staff,
just
with
respect
to
to
councilor
brockington's
direction,
to
look
at
exploring
planting
on
the
right-of-way
I'm
wondering
if
this
is
something
that's
possible
to
do
like
looking
at
it
through
a
permitting
system
or
something
I've
heard.
The
concerns
with
with
access
expressed
by
the
solicitor
and
I
I,
understand
that
but
I'm
wondering,
if
it's
possible
to
look
at
it.
U
Looking
at
the
possibilities,
if
there
could
be
site
visits
to
determine
that
it
that,
in
fact,
it
was
safe
to
put
a
planter
box
with
food
on
the
front
lawn
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
is
because
we're
hearing
today
about
lots
of
concerns
about
food
security,
the
need
to
grow
more
local
products.
But
it
seems
to
me
in
the
city
we
we
really
have
challenges
with
using
City
lands.
U
We
have
a
community
gardening
program
that
hasn't
seen
us
plant,
a
community
garden
on
city
land
since
2019
and
now
we're
you
know,
I
understand
the
concerns
from
a
public
health
point
of
view.
But
if
we
are
going
to
be
looking
to
see
if
we
can
put
planter
boxes
on
that
right
away,
is
it
is
it
possible
to
law
that
we
could
establish
some
sort
of
program
which
could
ensure
act?
You
know
access
or
visit,
so
we
don't
run
into
the
legal
challenges.
W
Through
the
mayor,
the
the
regulations
that
we
had
developed
as
part
of
this
report
specifically
were
aimed
towards
not
having
a
permitting
system
in
order
to
make
them,
as
has
been
noted
around
the
council
table
as
as
permissive
as
possible
and
available
as
possible
to
Residents
and
also
to
be
less
administratively
burdensome
to
the
city.
That
said,
respecting
what
the
counselors
mentioned.
M
Thank
you
mayor.
My
questions
for
staff
are
in
regards
to
councilor
brockington's
Direction
and
some
follow-ups
to
counselor
Lowe's
question
in
terms
of
blockages
for
Utilities
in
the
right-of-way.
So
what's
the
current
process,
when
a
utility
provider
shows
up
and
doesn't
have
access
to
the
right-of-way,
because
a
homeowner
has
put
a
structure
in
the
right
of
way,
who
does?
Does
the
utility
provider
have
the
right
to
Simply?
Remove
that
do
they
have
to
call
the
city
to
come
and
remove
it
does
buy
login
involve
like
what's
the
what's
the
current
process
for
that.
W
It's
through
the
mayor,
I
would
say
generally
that
the
process
right
now
is
one
whereby,
particularly
with
our
more
established
utilities,
I'm
talking
about
Bell
Rogers,
Enbridge,
Hydro
Etc,
given
they're
well
aware
of
their
rights,
given
they
have
well-established
programs,
they
tend
to
do
fairly
well
working
with
the
residents
to
try
and
get
them
to
remove
it.
But
that
is
not
always
the
case,
and
quite
often,
staff
do
have
to
get
involved
in
order
to
mitigate
these
issues
and
try
to
get
access
for
the
utilities
in
line
with
what
they're
allowed
to
do.
M
Conceivably,
yes,
okay,
and
is
there
any
I'm
sure
this
will
be
something
that
staff
explores
is
part
of
the
direction,
but
is
there
any
estimate
on
the
time
and
effort
that
that
that
takes
from
the
city's
perspective
or
delays
on
on
particular
projects
like
what
is
the
effect
of
that
On
Any
Given
project?
Is
there
some
quantifiable
data
that
you
have
that
you
could
provide
counsel
with
with
delays
that
that
causes
and
Associated
costs.
W
M
AC
W
It's
through
the
mayor,
we
have
a
a
well-established
utility,
Coordination
Committee
that
all
of
the
major
utilities
sit
on.
We
meet
monthly
and
this
was
brought
as
part
of
that
committee.
It
was
presented.
We
had
a
discussion
around
it,
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
lie
and
say
they
didn't
have
their
concerns,
but
they
felt
that
in
light
of
what
we
were
trying
to
achieve,
they
felt
what
we
were
doing
was
reasonable
and
they
could
work
with
us.
So
I
guess
to
answer
the
counselor's
direct
question.
Yes,
we
did
hear
back
from
them.
AC
Thank
you
so
because
my
concern
I
have
one
a
few
years
ago
where
we
had
to
remove
a
planter
box,
because
the
the
phone
line
had
gone
down
and
one
of
the
residents
on
the
street
required
9-1-1
service
and
couldn't
get
through
so,
but
they
had
to
bring
a
forklift
in
to
move
the
planter
that
was
illegally
there
at
the
time.
So
what
I
worry
about
here?
AC
With
this
motion,
we
could
have
Planters
on
a
lot
more
than
one
house
per
Street
on
all
four
trying
to
grow
as
much
blue
as
possible,
locally
I'm
just
concerned
with
the
right-of-way
piece
with
Planters,
because
the
way
I
understand
this
if
food
is
planted
in
the
right-of-way
and
somebody
has
to
dig
it
up
for
a
repair
to
the
utilities
or
whatever
they
there'd
be
no
requirement
on
their
part
to
restore
whatever
was
planted
there.
It
would
just
be,
as
the
rules
are
now
they
put
down
some
topsoil
and
some
seed.
W
Through
the
mayor
in
in
consultation,
both
with
staff
internally
in
relation
to
Capital
works
and
our
own
City
Works
that
take
place
within
the
right
of
way
as
well
as
with
the
utilities,
there
is
General
consensus
that
where
there
is
a
situation
where
there's
a
residential
Garden,
if
permitted
to
proceed
that
the
restoration
would
be
of
topsoil,
only
it
it
is,
as
I
think
has
been
mentioned,
imperative
that
the
understanding
would
be
that
residents
are
doing
so
at
their
own
risk.
When
coming
in
to
do
gardening
within
the
right-of-way.
W
W
AD
Great,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Mayor
and
first
of
all,
I
just
wanted
to
reconfirm
the
direction
Council
Brockington
is
is
giving
is
just
simply
for
review
of
the
boxes.
We're
not
voting
for
boxes.
That's
correct,
counselor,
okay,
good,
so
I
think
next
year
we're
going
to
have
a
very
much
larger
discussion
and
we'll
observe
what
happens
over
time.
AD
I'm
also
happy
we're.
You
know
we
had
quite
a
few
delegations
that
came
out
and
we
had
a
very
fulsome
discussion.
I
think
it
was
a
great
discussion,
but
at
the
same
time
I
think
councilman,
Art's
correct,
and
when
we
introduced
this
back
in
the
day
it
was
to
actually
add
vibrancy
to
the
community,
and
the
narrative
has
been
changed,
I'm
glad
we're
battling
over
inches.
Maybe
I'll
amend
it
from
one
meter
to
a
meter
and
three
quarters.
AD
If
this
is
the
kind
of
discussions
that
we're
having
on
on
this
issue,
I
think
I
think
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction
when
it
comes
to
counselor
gowers
motion,
you're,
saying
sidewalks
are
required
correct
on
arterials
good.
So
because
we're
rehashing
you
know
what
we
had
was
a
good
debate
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
in
the
same
frame
of
mind.
I
also,
you
know
we
want
to
run
before
we
can
walk.
AD
Let's,
let's
focus
on
what
we
us
our
staff,
our
professional
staff
to
do
is
they
came
back
with
a
great
report.
They
said,
okay,
you
want
to
be
able
to
do
these
wonderful
things.
It
doesn't
mean
it's
the
end-all,
we're
going
to
come
back
next
year.
If
there's
problems
in
certain
areas
we'll
have
to
to
change
it
or
modify
it.
AD
Sometimes,
when
we're
talking
about
a
rat
problem-
and
we
want
to
allow
for
tubers
and
things
to
be
planted,
which,
if
Ottawa
bylaw
goes
to
your
house
and
there's
a
rat
problem,
they'll,
say
tip
over
your
bird
bath
rip
out
your
plants,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we
do
this
right
and
and
have
the
professional
advice
of
our
health
departments.
That
will
help
us
inform
us
on
our
decision
and
last
I
want
to
thank
members
of
committee.
I
think
we
had
a
great
discussion
and
we
always
arrive
at
a
great
place.
AD
Unfortunately,
I
will
have
to
dissent
on
item
17
1.1,
which
is
the
right
of
way
components
only
because
I
already
can
hear
my
phone
ringing
that
a
snow,
plows
ripped
something
out
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
say
on
record
that
that
right
away
component
is
of
concern
to
me.
So
on
that
note,
Mr
Mara
thanks
to
members
of
committee
and
and
Council,
we
worked
collectively
together
but
more
important
to
staff.
The
fact
you
have
to
hear
about
us
arguing
over
inches
when
you
put
together
such
a
terrific
report.
E
E
E
AE
E
Okay,
thank
you.
Everyone,
let's
jump
to
item
18
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
proposed
2023-2026
term
of
council
priorities
and
I'll
I'll
just
make
a
few
opening
remarks
before
I
turn
it
over
to
staff.
We
are
tabling
the
draft
term
of
council
priorities
today
and
then
we
will
discuss
and
and
vote
on
them
at
our
meeting
on
July
the
12th.
So
today
our
discussion
is
just
about
the
process
and
about
any
any
questions
related
to.
That
is
a.
E
Everyone
knows
is
the
culmination
of
many
months
of
hard
work
from
everyone
around
the
table
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
your
participation
in
the
process
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
dedication
and
your
collaboration
on
charting
into
our
Direction
and
establishing
what
I
think
is
a
clear
and
shared
vision.
E
I
want
to
note
that
this
was
a
new
process
for
many
of
us
around
Council,
those
of
us
who
are
on
Council
for
the
first
time,
and
it
was
also
a
different
process
from
previous
terms.
This
was
a
process
that
was
led
by
Council,
supported
by
staff
and
I
think
we
should
all
be
very
proud
of
the
end
product
that
we
have
developed
together.
E
I
believe
that
this
this
set
of
priorities
reflects
what
we
heard
during
the
massive
consultation
that
we
did
last
year
as
candidates
for
city
council.
We
were
knocking
on
doors,
we
were
attending
meetings
in
the
community.
We
were
listening
to
the
priorities
of
residents.
We
incorporated
those
priorities
into
our
platforms
and
into
what
we've
brought
to
council.
So
far,
this
term
we've
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
community
on
where
they
want
to
see
us
go
in
the
next
three
and
a
half
years.
So
I
believe
this
reflects
that.

Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayo
I'd
really
like
to
take
a
moment
this
morning
to
thank
Council,
to
thank
you
mayor,
said

and
to
City
staff
for
their
tremendous
work
and
collaboration
in
developing
the
proposed
2023-2026
term
of
council
priorities,
and
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
this
year's
process
was
very
different.
AF
From
start
to
finish,
and
as
we
look
forward
to
the
road
ahead,
I
want
to
assure
counsel
that
the
city's
leadership,
team
and
staff
are
very
committed
in
terms
of
delivering
on
these
priorities.
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Elizabeth
to
walk
you
through
the
presentation
this
morning.
Thank
you
very
much.

Thank
you,
mayor
of,
whereas
Nesbitt
street
is
a
public
right-of-way
that
provides
access
to

Ottawa
River
and
whereas
the
owners
of
two
Nesbit

have
been
in
discussion
with
City
staff
for
an
extended
period
of
time,
with
respect
to
a
rock
wall

other
Landscaping
features
within
the

For
this,
and
also
just
mentioned,
we
have
a
survey
results
coming
out
today
about
Lansdowne,
Park
and
I'll,
be
circulating
them
to
individual
counselors
for
the
how
your
area
responded
as
a
Citywide
survey
with
2000
respondents
and
responses
were
given
back
in
every
single
Ward
and
region,
and
so
we'll
circulate
those
to
counselors
later
on.
Today,
thanks.
E
Thank
you,
councilman
motions
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
of
procedure.
We
have
a
few
that
are
all
of
a
time-sensitive
nature.
So
first
is
a
motion
from
councilor
leaper
seconded
by
counselor
troster
regarding
316
320,
324,
328
and
332
Clifton
Road
demolition
on
suspension
of
the
rules
is
that
carried
security.
Councilor.
R
Leaper,
thank
you
very
much.
Colleagues.
You've
already
once
approved
a
waiver
to
demolition
control.
It
has
not
been
demolished
yet
and
the
applicant
needs
a
bit
of
an
extension.
Staff
have
I
believe
that
staff
are
fully
supportive
of
this,
and
the
owners
are
very
close
now
to
being
able
to
demolish
so
I'll.
E
Thank
you,
councilor
leaper
is
the
motion
carried.
Thank
you.
Everyone
next
is
a
motion
from
Council
of
Brockington
seconded
by
me
that
is
related
to
the
provincial
animal,
where
Welfare
Services
act
and
there's
a
requirement
that
this
be
approved
before
the
next
city
council
meeting.
So
on
suspension
of
the
rules
is
that
carried
councilor
Brockington.
L
L
And
whereas
such
bylaw
amendments
are
administrative
in
nature.
Result
from
changes
in
provincial
legislation
do
not
require
public
consultation
and
do
not
alter
the
intent
of
the
bylaw
and
have
no
new
budget
impacts.
Therefore,
be
a
result
that
Council
approved
the
following
amendments.
To
each
of
the
aforementioned
bylaws,
accordingly,
one
repeal
the
definition
of
OSPCA
or
any
term
with
the
same
meaning.
Two
add
the
following
definition
were
required,
quote:
provincial
Animal
Welfare
Services
act,
2019,
meaning
the
provincial
Animal
Welfare
Services
act
2019,
as
amended,
includes
any
regulation
passed
under
it
or
any
success
or
legislation.
L
Three
repeal
any
reference
to
the
Ontario
Society
for
the
prevention
of
cruelty
to
animals,
act
where
it
appears
and
replace
it.
With
a
reference
to
the
provincial
Animal
Welfare
Services
act,
2019
for
repeal
the
expression,
inspector
or
agent
authorized
by
the
OSPCA
under
the
Ontario
Society
for
the
prevention
of
cruelty
to
animals
act.
Rso
1990
co36
is
amended
where
it
appears
and
replace
it
with
the
expression.
E
L
You
mayor
and
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
an
inquiry
was
made
by
my
colleague,
councilor
Bradley
I,
believe
at
our
last
meeting
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk.
Some
members
of
council
have
approached
not
just
bylaw,
but
the
fire
chief
chief,
particularly
when
there's
a
burn
ban
and
the
only
entity
that
has
the
authority
to
ban
fireworks
at
the
moment
is
Council.
And
so
this
is
really
about
giving
our
our
fire
chief
delegated
authority
to
make
those
decisions
in
I
would
say
extreme
circumstances.
L
Outdoor
recreational
fireworks
generally
set
off
by
residents
on
their
own
property,
which
are
allowed
on
Victoria
Day
and
on
Canada,
Day
and
the
days
immediately,
proceeding
and
following
those
holidays
and
which
do
not
require
a
permit
or
site
inspection.
But
that
are
subject
to
certain
controls
under
the
bylaw
and
whereas
recent
wildfires
across
Canada,
as
well
as
in
Ontario
and
Quebec,
specifically
appear
to
be
on
the
increase,
causing
concerns
for
public
health
and
safety
and
protection
of
property
and
whereas
the
less
controlled
use
of
consumer
fireworks.
L
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
fireworks
bylaw
number
2003-237,
as
amended,
be
amended
to
delegate
the
authority
to
the
fire
chief
to
prohibit
the
setting
off
of
consumer
fireworks
on
a
temporary
basis
and
for
a
period
of
time
to
be
prescribed
by
the
fire
chiefs
for
public
health
and
safety
and
for
the
protection
of
property
to
mitigate
the
risk
of
fires
based
on
environmental
weather
or
other
conditions,
and
just
to
be
clear
mayor.
This
is
not
saying:
Chief
go
ahead
and
ban
fireworks
right
now.
L
This
is
simply
giving
the
fire
chief
the
authority
to
make
that
call.
Should
he
decide
that,
as
in
the
public
interest
to
make
that
decision
and
council
is
not
able
to
meet
to
make
that
decision,
because
we
currently
have
that
Authority
and
we
are
the
sole
entity
to
have
that
Authority
at
this
time.
So
I
think
this
is
a
smart
move.
This
has
come
to
me
through
bylaw
and
again,
I
want
to
acknowledge
a
similar
question
was
raised
by
councilor
Bradley
at
our
most
recent
meeting,
but
that's
on
the
floor
now.
Thank
you.
E
L
You
mayor,
yes,
this
matter
comes
from
our
most
recent
discussion
on
the
Solid
Waste
debate
that
we
had
at
our
last
meeting
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
a
number
of
residents
who
have
certain
medical
conditions
and
generate
medical
waste
inquired
about
whether
they
would
be
capped
at
the
number
of
bags
that
they
put
out
so
I'm
I'm.
This
is
a
notice
of
motion
to
consider
this
matter
at
our
next
meeting
and
I.
Thank
the
committee
chair
for
seconding
this
counselor
Menard.
So,
where
is
the
city
currently
operates?
L
The
original
the
original
staff
report
had
included
a
recommendation
that
the
current
special
considerations
program
be
expanded
to
also
include
non-hazardous
medical
waste,
including
casts
catheters
colostomy
bags.
Disposable,
pads,
gloves,
masks,
gowns
and
aprons
dialysis
waste,
gastric
and
nasal
tubes,
IV
bags
and
tubing
and
soil
dressings.
Whereas
expanding
the
special
considerations
program
to
include
non-hazardous,
medical
waste
could
cost
up
to
an
estimated
additional
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
L
Whereas
no
recommendations
regarding
this
program
were
considered
or
adopted
by
council
at
our
last
meeting,
therefore
be
it
resolved
that
Council
approved
the
expansion
of
the
special
considerations
program
to
include
non-hazardous
medical
waste
and
that
the
additional
operating
costs
of
the
program
be
incorporated
in
the
draft
2024
budget.
That's
a
notice
of
motion
mirror
for
our
next
meeting.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
J
F
AI
AE
AJ
I
have
a
question
for
the
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
in
terms
of
the
you
know,
little
library
boxes
and
the
gardening
emotions
that
were
passed
today.
The
bylaw
changes
to
the
using
care
of
roads
by
law,
there's
sort
of
a
notion,
sometimes
that
the
city
has
a
tendency
of
regulating
fun
out
of
existence.
I
grew
up
here.
It's
kind
of
a
narrative
that
you
hear
Sometimes.
AJ
Some
of
the
regulations
here
have
been
described
as
quite
stringent
by
people
that
have
little
library
boxes
and
I'm
wondering
what
you
would
say
to
people
that
are
concerned
about,
say
the
height
limits
that
their
little
bylaw
that
their
you
know,
little
library
boxes
won't
comply
and
these
kind
of
Grassroots
Community
efforts
are
going
to
be
stifled.
You
know,
as
a
result,.
E
First
of
all,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
evidence
that
suggests
that
many
of
the
bylaws
that
that
we
have
around
things
like
this
are
typically
not
enforced
or
enforced
very
strongly.
There
usually
is
communication
with
residents
and
an
effort
to
resolve
things
without
you
know,
using
a
heavy
hand,
I
think
it.
You
know
there
have
to
be
rules
about
these
kinds
of
things,
and
there
are
rules
in
other
communities,
municipalities
as
well
and
I.
E
Think
what
we're
doing
now
is
trying
to
make
it
as
easy
as
possible
for
people
to
do
these
things
in
a
way
that
are
not
disruptive
that
don't
get
in
the
way
and
are
are
not
affecting
other
residents
and
and
to
allow
as
much
of
this
as
possible
within
within
reason.
But
again,
I
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
you
know
we're
not
we're
not
going
around
policing
these
things
constantly
and,
and
the
idea
is
not
to
be.
AJ
And
follow
up
on
a
slightly
different
issue:
the
ibe,
the
I,
sorry
I,
have
a
slight
stutter
by
the
way
ibe
a
w
strike.
I
just
wanted
to
know
how
How
concerned
you
are
about
the
fact
that
now,
if
there's
a
major
weather
event-
and
we
see
Power
go
down
that
the
city
is
going
to
be
left,
vulnerable
and
residents
could
be
left
without
power
for
days
or
weeks.
E
I
have
the
greatest
respect
for
hydro
Ottawa
workers
and
for
all
the
employees
who
work
in
in
in
at
Hydro
Ottawa
and
throughout
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
I
I'm,
hoping
for
Swift
resolution
to
this
dispute.
Hydro
Ottawa
has
plans
in
place
to
address
any
any
outages
or
any
other
issues
that
arise
in
the
short
term,
and
so
I'm
hoping
this
will
be
over
quickly
and
things
will
be
will
be
back
to
normal.
AK
Are
you
about
people
wanting
similar
measures
at
more
locations
in
the
city,
because
I
think
quite
a
few
cyclists
would
argue
that
there
are
quite
a
few
dangerous
spots
without
a
with
or
without
a
near
fatal
collision.
And
can
you
tell
me
about
the
the
supplies?
The
feasibility?
Does
the
city
have
the
equipment
to
set
up
more
barriers
like
that?
AK
AL
I
hello,
I
I,
will
add
that
in
in
this
particular
stretch
of
roadway,
we
are
taking
some
immediate
actions.
We
are,
we
are
doing
a
review
right
now
and
we
are
considering
adding
some
signage
pavement
markings
and
Signal
timing
changes
depending
on
the
review
longer
term
actions
would
be
taken
by
by
UT's
team
in
Transportation,
Planning
and
perhaps
Vivi
might
want
to
add
some
or
not.
AK
Okay,
thank
you
just
to
follow
up
on
the
paramedic
Staffing
plan.
I
believe
the
term
that
was
used
at
committee
to
describe
current
Staffing
was
that
there
was
a
danger
to
Public,
Safety
and
I'm,
wondering
mayor
and
and
Mr
ayotte.
How
much
does
this
reduce
or
eliminate
this
risk?
Is
this
enough?
Are
you
satisfied
with
this
number?
Is
this
number
more
a
compromise
between
what
we
would
like
and
what
the
city
can
afford
or
is
willing
to
spend?
Can
you
shed
some
light
on
that?
Please.
E
E
We
want
to
provide
as
much
Service
as
we
can,
but
we
can't
do
that
if
we're
not
also
eliminating
or
reducing
the
offload
delays
in
our
hospitals,
which
we
view
I
think
quite
rightly,
as
a
as
a
health
care
issue,
not
a
paramedic
issue.
The
fact
that
our
ambulances
are
in
the
parking
lots
at
hospitals
and
our
paramedics
are
in
the
waiting
rooms
rather
than
outserving
the
community.
It
creates
a
lot
of
of
delays
and
problems
for
our
community,
so
we're
working
with
the
provincial
government
on
that
side
of
it.
E
AM
There
you
go
there,
we
go.
Thank
you,
yeah
I,
not
much
more
to
add,
I,
think
our
our
paramedic
Staffing
model
addresses
two
things.
One
is
operational
call
volume
which
has
gone
up
quite
a
bit
23
a
year
since
last
year,
or
from
last
year
to
the
year
before,
with
regards
to
Public
Safety,
you
know
our
response
times
have
decreased
below
the
standard
set
by
Council.
So
that's
where
Public
Safety,
the
risk
to
Public
Safety
comes
into
into
play.
AM
I
think
the
bigger
issue
for
us
is
the
ability
of
us
to
be
able
to
separate
what
really
belongs
to
the
Health
Care
system,
problems
from
an
awful
delay
perspective
and
how
you
know
the
citizens
of
Ottawa
shouldn't
be
really
paying
to
fix
that
problem.
So
we
were
able
to
separate
our
call
volume
numbers
with
what
numbers
We
Believe
should
be
attributed
to
the
offload
DeLay
So.
AM
If
the
Province
does
not
fix
the
offload
delay
issue,
then
we're
going
to
need
an
extra
17
paramedics
per
year
every
year
to
to
address
that
area
in
order
to
address
our
response
times
that
are
below
standard
right
now.
So
it
is
a
serious
issue
and
we
are
having
conversations
with
the
province
and
we're
hoping
that
they're
going
to
step
up
and
repair
that
that
concern
for
us.
Sorry.
AM
We
have
23
attributed
per
year.
We
have
23
attributed
to
call
volume
which
is
based
on
what
we
need
from
a
city
perspective
based
on
our
growth
and
and
our
aging
population
and
and
the
number
of
calls
that
we
actually
get
for
service.
However,
the
17
is
on
top
of
that
which
will
give
us
a
total
of
40
from
an
operational
perspective
with
regards
to
what
we
need
to
move
forward
to
address
our
response
time
issues.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank.

Q
E
I
have
lots
of
respect
for
hydro
Ottawa
employees
as
I
do
for
all
employees
who
work
in
the
municipal
sector
I
respect
their
right
to
demonstrate
and
to
strike
and
I
hope.
This
is
going
to
be
resolved
very
quickly.
We've
been
kept
up
to
date
by
the
leadership
of
hydro
Ottawa
over
the
last
few
days
on
the
negotiations
and
on
the
fact
that
there's
a
plan
in
place
to
deal
with
any
issues
in
the
in
the
days
ahead.
If
the
strike
continues
so
we'll
watch
it
closely
and
I
hope
it's
resolved
soon.
E
Is
going
so
that
was,
that
was
a
rough
timetable
that
was
set
out
at
the
beginning
of
the
process
several
months
ago.
I
want
to
say,
you
know,
since
I
have
the
opportunity
that
we're
we're
in
exceptional
hands
right
now,
Wendy
Stephenson
is
doing
an
amazing
job
as
the
Intercity
manager.
So
as
we
look
for
a
permanent
city
manager,
you
know
it's,
it's
not
a
rushed
process,
it.
E
E
It's
about
finding
the
best
person
for
the
job
and
moving
forward,
and
if
that
takes
a
little
bit
longer,
then
then
that's
okay,
because
ultimately
it's
about
finding
the
ideal
person
and
having
that
person
in
place
going
forward
so
singing
a
little
bit
longer.
But
that's
you
know:
I've
been
through
a
lot
of
different
hiring
processes
and,
and
sometimes
they
take
a
little
bit
longer
than
you
expect
and
and
we're
still
moving
forward
and
and
and
we
should
reach
a
conclusion-
you
know
in
the
weeks
ahead.
Q
I
would
like
to
hear
you
talk
about.
Buy
one
market,
I
think
that
during
the
last
Council,
you
were
asked
a
question
about
the
police
post
at
the
byword
market.
Now
we're
here
that
the
market
is
not
it's
not
sustainable.
If
we
were
to
recruit
private
security,
things
happened
there
over
the
week.
Things
are
still
happening
there
over
the
weekend.
How
can
we
speed
up
the
process?
What
do
you
think
about
long-term
security
at
byword
Market?
First
of
all,
already
there
are
more
police
resources
at
byword.
Q
Q
These
are
not
major
fireworks
like
the
ones
organized
by
the
federal
government.
Those
are
already
regulated.
We
have
regulations
for
those
ones.
There
are
conditions
on
permits
their
inspections
by
fire
services.
This
is
about
private
fireworks
because
young
people
and
anyone
could
do
that
anywhere
and
anytime,
usually
twice
a
year
on
Canada
Day
the
day
before
and
the
day
after,
full
the
Queen's
Day
in
May
Victoria
Day
in
May,
but
there's
less
control
for
those
ones,
and
sometimes
they
spark
fires.
Q
And
sometimes
there
are
problems
with
major
fires
like
the
ones
we're
seeing
in
Quebec
and
in
the
north,
and
that
is
disturbing.
But
the
good
news
is
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
rainfall
over
the
past
few
days,
and
maybe
there
will
be
no
need
to
get
to
that
decision.
But
at
least
he
will
have
the
authority
to
make
that
decision.
If
he
feels
that
it's
for
the
safety
of
the
public
and.
AM
You
can
look
at
her
right
there,
okay,
all
right,
yes,
thank
you
very
much.
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
you
know
the
the
fireworks
Authority
given
to
the
fire
chief
applies
to
commercial
commercially
sold,
fireworks
or
or
for
private
citizens,
those
that
you'd
get
for
your
family
and
and
that
others
for
the
members
of
the
public
can
just
use
without
a
permit
or
without
anything
else
it
doesn't
apply
to
the
federal
fireworks
or
any
other,
the
municipal
fireworks
that
we
have
that
are
already
regulated.
AM
There
are
already
conditions
they
require
to
have
permits,
there's
already
inspections
being
done
by
the
fire
service
and
those
are
very
well
controlled.
In
fact,
if
the
wind
direction
is
too
strong
or
in
the
wrong
direction,
they
have
to
cancel
or
wait
or
delay
so
there's
already
strong
stringent
requirements
for
the
larger
fireworks.
AM
However,
when
we
deal
with
those
that
are
bought
in
the
store,
especially
in
the
dry
conditions,
we've
had
recently,
it
causes
us
a
lot
more
concern
with
regards
to
you
know,
starting
fires
in
various
areas,
because
we're
not
controlling
where
they're
being
set
off,
so
they
could
be
set
off
in
parks
near
bushes.
You
know,
and
with
the
dry
conditions
we've
had
at
the
beginning
of
this
season
and
all
of
the
forest
fires
we've
seen
in
Northern
Ontario
and
Northern
Quebec.
It
causes
us
great
concern.
