A
Good
morning,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
welcome
to
the
sixth
meeting
of
the
community
Protective
Services
Committee.
Today
we
have
a
number
of
items
before
us
to
consider
including
infrastructure
standards
for
the
city's
recreation
facilities.
A
staff
will
present
these
new
standards,
which
incorporate
best
practices,
legislation,
accessibility,
standards
and
flexibility
for
innovation.
They
also
reflect
broad
consultation
with
residents,
stakeholders
and
facility
users,
we'll
also
consider
the
municipal
licensing
regime
for
payday
loan
establishments
conditional
on
council
approval
of
proposed
zoning
amendments
that
would
limit
clustering
of
these
establishments.
A
The
proposed
municipal
regulations
strike
a
balance
between
maintaining
access
for
people
who
have
no
other
options
with
increased
consumer
protection
and
knowledge
staff
will
present
the
revised
framework
for
the
community
funding
program
this
year.
The
city
invest
is
twenty
four
point:
two
million
dollars
in
nonprofit
agencies
to
help
Ottawa's
most
vulnerable
residents,
get
equitable
assets,
access
to
basic
services
based
on
extensive
consultation
with
the
nonprofit
sector.
The
revised
funding
program
will
help
build
sustainability
within
the
sector
by
offering
long
term
renewable
operational
funding.
A
A
strong
nonprofit
sector
increases
social
inclusion,
civic
participation,
community
well-being
and
public
engagement.
The
program
would
also
offer
one-time
funding
to
respond
to
emerging
issues
in
the
community.
Finally,
we'll
receive
an
update
on
the
council
approved
long
term
care
work
plan
as
well,
so
moving
to
the
agenda,
any
declarations
of
interests,
seeing
none
confirmation
of
the
minutes
from
August
22nd
2019
carried
communications,
there's
a
response
to
inquiry
funding
for
emergencies.
A
We
do
have
presentations
or
delegations
on
reports,
two
three
four
and
five.
So
given
that
I'll
just
proceed
with
the
agenda
as
presented
so
on
the
first
item:
status,
update,
communion
Protective,
Services
inquiries
and
motions
for
the
period
ending
September
10th
2019
received
on
the
second
item.
We
have
the
recreation
facilities,
infrastructure
standards
and
I
believe
Dan,
Chen
yeh
will
be
making
a
presentation
on
this
item.
You
down.
B
Thank
You,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
I
have
with
me
this
morning:
Paul
Landry
who's,
the
acting
manager
of
our
recreation
planning
unit
Paul,
has
taken
on
Kevin
Weir
ease
duties,
while
Kevin
recovers
from
hip
surgery,
which
all
went
well
this
week
and
and
he's
on
the
men
as
well
as
Deanna
Schofield,
who
has
been
the
project
manager
on
this
initiative.
That's
gone
on
over
the
last
18
months
to
a
year
to
18
months.
B
The
the
document
that
we're
talking
to
you
about
this
morning
is
a
bit
of
a
brick.
So
it's
not
our
intent
to
take
you
through
all
of
the
fascinating
technical
requirements
of
our
facilities,
but
rather
to
provide
context
to
why
we're
doing
doing
this
as
a
way
background.
This
project
and
a
twin
project
were
part
of
the
last
term
of
council.
Strategic
initiatives
and
they've
been
bumped
into
this
term
of
council
in
order
to
get
them
completed
and
and
they're
in
two
parts.
B
The
the
intent
of
these
documents
is
really
a
building
block
for
what
is
to
come
next
and
what
is
to
come
and
come.
Next
is
a
renewal
of
our
longer-term
strategy.
You
know
what
is
the
next
ten
years
and
beyond
of
developing
recreation
facilities.
What
are
the
gaps?
What
needs
to
be
renewed
and
replaced,
and
what
is
the
new
construction?
That's
going
to
be
required
to
meet
the
city's
growth,
and
so
what
this
document
does
is
identify
going
forward
if
we
are
going
to
need
a
pool,
an
arena,
a
community
building
a
community
center.
B
What
does
that?
What
is
that?
Let's
describe
it
in
terms
of
how
big
it
is
what's
included
in
it,
and
then
that
then
allows
us
to
look
at
the
next
phase
and
identify
how
much
it's
going
to
cost
type
of
land
that
we're
going
to
need
to
build
it.
All
of
the
things
that
we
need
as
building
blocks
to
identify
the
longer
strategy
having
these
detailed
designs
also
provides
us
a
bit
of
a
shortcut
in
terms
of
not
having
to
rethink
every
time.
B
B
These
guidelines,
like
many
others,
accessibility,
Building
Code,
are
not
intended
to
indicate
that
we
have
to
go
back
and
renew
all
of
our
facilities
to
meet
these
codes.
That
is,
in
many
cases,
not
possible.
You
couldn't
add
length
to
a
pool
in
many
cases
or
certain
types
of
amenities
to
facilities
increase
rink
sizes.
It
is
meant
to
guide
renovations
as
much
as
possible
when
we
do
major
renovations.
So
we
will
look
at
trying
to
achieve
as
many
of
these
standards
as
possible
and
then,
of
course,
to
guide
as
a
minimum
standard
new
construction.
B
There
will
be
instances
where
minimum
standards
don't
meet
what
the
community
is
looking
for,
and
then
that
becomes
a
discussion
between
staff
members
of
council
and
community
about
how
to
afford
that
that
additional
entered,
whether
it
be
adaleen
to
a
pool
or
to
add
more
dressing
rooms
to
a
facility
all
of
those
things
and
identify
how
those
priorities
match
against
the
available
budget
and
and
how
do
we
accomplish
it?
So
it
isn't
intended
to
stifle
the
ability
to
be
creative
or
be
innovative,
but
simply
to
provide
a
a
background
or
a
base.
B
To
start
with,
when
we're
having
discussions
about
that,
this
document
does
complement
existing
existing
documents.
We
did
a
similar
exercise
for
for
parks
that
that
exists
as
the
park
manual.
We
have
a
sports
strategy
that
that
looks
at
some
improvements
and
moving
forward
with
with
sports
facilities,
and
then
we
also
have
accessibility,
design
standards
that
are
now
reflected
in
this.
In
this
document,.
B
I
can
say
as
well
and
before
I
talk
about
consultation.
I
can
advise
as
well
that
this
document
took
a
look
at
best
practices
and
current
trends
and
and
some
of
the
things
that
council
has
asked
us
to
look
at.
For
example,
looking
at
this
through
the
gender
equity
lens,
we
have
reflected
in
this
standard,
for
example,
the
growing
popularity
and
demand
for
gender-neutral
change
rooms
in
facilities.
B
So
you
will
find
that
if
you
look
at,
for
example,
our
pool
standards
we
have
incorporated
in
there,
what
is
a
growing
trend
that
the
universal
change
rooms
are
twice
the
size
of
the
gender
specific
ones
in
in
in
our
pools,
a
common
practice,
something
that
we've
already
done
at
some
facilities.
But
it's
now
part
of
the
the
minimum
standards
that
we
we
build.
B
C
Thank
you.
So
we
did
a
mix
of
an
internal
working
group
that
had
72
members
from
all
levels
of
the
organization,
so
starting
with
the
managers
all
the
way
down
to
the
frontline
operational
staff
and
programming
staff
like
Life
Guards
II,
for
example,
that
was
a
gender-balanced
working
group
to
try
and
again
encourage
feedback
from
as
many
different
voices
as
we
could.
We
did
open
houses
and
small
group
meetings
subsequent
to
that,
and
we
did
a
webinar
to
try
and
access
some
of
the
support
groups
and
we
had
171
people
attend.
C
Those
we've
also
received
direct
feedback
from
residents
and
community
groups
by
email
or
letter,
or
by
phone
and
online.
We
used
this
software
that
the
city
is
using,
which
is
engage
Ottawa
in
both
French
and
English.
That's
the
software
from
Australia
bang
the
table,
and
so
we
had
some
extended
consultations
from
June.
It
went
live
and
it
continued
until
just
recently
in
early
September
and
along
those
lines.
C
We
always
interacted
with
the
comments.
Some
of
the
chains
were
quite
interesting,
so
this
is
unique
before
it
was
typically
a
one-way
survey.
Where
you
answered,
did
you
like
this?
Yes
or
no?
You
had
a
small
amount
of
space
to
fill
in
your
feedback.
This
was
much
more
like
a
Facebook
live
or
social
media
where
we
could
have
a
conversation,
and
so
we
had
six
hundred
and
eighty
six
people
who
would
consider
to
be
informed
so
engaged
with
the
site
in
some
way
and
153
people
actively
engaged
so
gave
suggestions
or.
C
B
You
Deanna,
the
next
slide
just
shows
some
examples.
Not
everything
about
this.
These
new
standards
is
technical.
Many
of
the
comments
that
we
got
back
were
more
how
to
make
the
facilities
more
user
friendly
or
more
adapted
to
what
people
want
to
see
in
facilities.
The
examples
you
see
there
of
having
accessible
seedings
for
both
home
and
and
and
away
fans
in
our
arenas,
seperate
areas
for
those
things,
are
an
example,
some
of
the
appointments
to
some
of
the
multi-purpose
rooms
to
accommodate
different
kinds
of
activities.
B
If
you've
looked
through
this
document,
you
will
see
that
there
are
some
things
that
are
based
on
user
experience,
things
like
adjacencies
what
things
would
work
best
when
they
are
adjacent
to
other
things,
which
things
are
best
when
they
could
have
access
to
other
areas
or
to
the
outside
of
the
building
so
as
much
as
possible.
Beyond
the
updating.
The
technical
side
of
this
we've
tried
to
capture
as
much
user
experience
as
possible
and
to
reflect
that
in
these
standards.
B
So
the
recommendations
you
have
before
you
is
to
approve
these
standards
and
then
the
second
is
to
delegate
some
authority
to
make
ongoing
changes.
We
know
that
things
like
Building,
Code,
accessibility,
standards,
the
the
rules
and
regulations
and
requirements
from
various
sports
leagues
change
in
terms
of
the
types
of
amenities
or
the
the
sizes
of
things
that
need
to
be
before
them.
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
want
to
be
able
to,
and
even
though
the
report
doesn't
say
it
I
and
I.
D
Thank
you,
your
five
minutes.
Oh
I,
don't
need
that
thing,
as
suggested
my
name's
Marcy
Morris
and
I'm.
The
executive
director
of
the
Auto
Sport
Council
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
present
to
CPSC
before
and
I,
really
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
today.
For
those
of
you
who
don't
know
us
we're
a
nonprofit
organization
dedicated
to
representing
sport
in
the
City
of
Ottawa,
we
were
established
in
2013
in
response
to
requests
for
help
from
community
support
organizations,
and
we
represent
over
750
community
support
organizations
in
the
city.
D
In
addition,
we've
worked
very
closely
with
Dan
and
his
team
on
the
development
and
the
implementation
of
the
municipal
sport
strategy
to
which
he
had
spoke,
which
is
really
a
roadmap
for
the
future
of
sport
in
the
city.
I
wanted
to
share
some
thoughts
today
with
CPSC
on
the
recreation
infrastructure
standards.
First
of
all,
the
sport
community's
absolutely
delighted
to
see
the
development
of
these
to
provide
a
comprehensive
set
of
design
standards
for
either
the
development
or
the
redevelopment
of
a
facility.
D
We
worked
very
closely
with
the
N
and
her
team
to
facilitate
consultations
with
the
sport
community,
and
the
sport
community
was
absolutely
delighted
to
have
the
opportunity
to
provide
feedback
and
really
felt
that
they
were
being
listened
to
and
and
that
message
came
out
loud
and
clear
both
during
the
consultation,
but
afterwards
we
received
a
lot
of
feedback
saying
this
is
great.
We've
got
to
keep
this
going
as
the
project
goes
forward.
The
one
point
on
the
report
that
I
really
want
to
talk
about
is
about
the
minimum
standards.
D
One
of
the
slides
that
Dan
put
up
so
you
know
designing,
meant
something
minimum
standards,
which
is
what
the
report
says.
The
report
also
says
that
at
times
there
will
be
a
need
in
a
desire
to
design
more
than
minimum
standards,
and
the
sport
community
would
really
really
encourage
City
to
think
about
designing
more
than
the
minimum
standards.
So
one
of
the
examples
is
diving.
D
So
we
have
a
couple
of
incredible
diving
athletes
from
Ottawa
who've
had
to
leave
to
go
to
the
T
Pass
Centre
in
Toronto
to
train
it's
because
we
don't
have
those
facilities
here.
So
we're
on
the
brink
now
of
embarking
on
new
facility
development
and
in
order
to
meet
all
the
needs
of
all
of
our
residents
who
are
involved
in
sport,
be
they
recreational
people,
be
they
elite,
athletes,
up-and-coming
and
elite
athletes.
D
We
really
encourage
city,
the
city,
staff
and
council
to
think
about
more
than
just
the
minimum
standards,
in
addition
to
providing
the
facilities
required
for
the
athletes.
It
also
provides
a
great
opportunity
to
host
sport
tourism
events
which,
as
we
all
know,
are
a
huge
economic
driver
for
the
city.
So
that's
basically
what
I
wanted
to
say,
I'd
like
to
congratulate
Dan
and
his
team.
It's
a
great
first
step.
A
E
Thank
You
chair
and
thank
you
Dan
and
staff
I
know
that
in
terms
of
the
community
consultation
Deana
was
out
in
in
parts
of
the
downtown
and
it
really
worked
with
the
community
to
get
into
parts
of
that
community
that
are
often
not
engaged
but
really
count
on
our
recreation,
programming
and
infrastructure.
So
thank
you
to
that.
For
that
and
I've
heard
very
positive
feedback,
so
I
do
want
to
I.
Do
want
to
just
point
that
out
I'm
happy
with
the
the
standards
I
been
following
this
closely.
E
As
you
know,
you
know
it's
as
we
continue
to
tackle
things
in
our
community
like
poverty,
homelessness,
issues
with
youth.
We
know
how
important
recreation,
recreation
services
are,
and-
and
that
includes
where
that
programming
is
so
I
I've
been
very
keen
to
see
this
come
to
fruition.
It's
just
a
couple
of
quick
questions.
I
know
that
you
said
this
wasn't
intended
to
be
used
to
maybe
look
at
renovations
going
back.
What's
built
is
built,
but
I
just
you
know.
B
This
is
a
look
forward
document
in
terms
of
what's
possible
and
and
beneficial
as
we
develop
new
and
where
it
can
be
applied
to
a
renovation
or
expansion
of
a
facility
it
will
be
applied,
but
the
intent
and
staff
have
no
intent
of
using
it
to
say
that
facilities
are
substandard
because
they
were
built
50
years
ago
to
a
standard
that
was
current.
If
it's
meeting
the
community
need
at
this
time,
then
that's
fine.
B
E
You
I
appreciate
that,
and
just
one
last
question
you
know
we
are
embarking
on
a
women
and
gender
equity
strategy
and
a
lot
of
that
will
focus
on
our
policies
and
our
programming,
and
for
you
know,
for
instance,
we
know
that
you
know
girls
tend
to
use
parks
in
a
different
way
than
boys
after
a
certain
age.
That's
that's
been
kind
of
documented
in
other
areas,
so
I
just
want
to
ensure
that
what
we
have
here
today
in
your
opinion
is.
B
Chair
I
believe
so
the
standards
that
we've
looked
at
included
consultation
with
both
with
people
involved,
the
organizations
involved
in
sports
for
both
genders
and
and
even
blended.
In
fact,
I
think
Deanna
has
some
numbers
in
terms
of
the
of
the
gender
split
on
our
consultation,
but
very
much
this.
B
That
predominantly
is
as
more
female
participation,
as
well
as
the
male
side
and
and
our
intent
for
the
next
phase
would
be
exactly
the
same
for
the
strategy
in
terms
of
facilities
that
are
needed
is
to
look
at
at
at
this
through
a
gender
equity
lens,
so
that
what
we
built
for
the
future
is
also
very
reflective
of
that
from
from
day
one
when
we
start
planning.
Okay,.
F
Missus
Monica's
Downton
I
too,
would
echo
the
the
work
of
the
team
I
participated
in
the
consultation
and
saw
how
how
knowledgeable
the
team
was
initially
and
all
I
was
also
how
they
validated
some
of
the
concerns.
I
wanted
to
go
to
two
key
components
of
the
report
and
then
I
have
some
more
strategic
elements,
we're
very
prescriptive
in
terms
of
the
gymnasium.
It's
it's
in
one
of
the
appendix
or
in
one
of
the
PDFs,
and
we
speak
to,
for
example,
gross
for
of
580
square
metres.
Gymnasium
should
be
29
meters
by
twenty
point.
F
One
meters
I
want
I
want
to
understand,
like
that
to
me
doesn't
mean
a
lot
unless
I
go
and
measure
version,
for
example,
Carlton,
DJAM
or
less
stage
a
more
gyms.
That
I
have
reference
points.
So
could
we
could
we
maybe
explain
what
what
the
intent
is
specifically
for
gymnasiums,
who
won't
really
open
the
door
to
so
many
sports
I'll.
B
Start
and
then
my
colleagues
can
pitch
in
in
terms
of
gym
names
gymnasiums
in
Ottawa.
We
we
know
that
there
is
a
shortage.
We
are
by
no
means
the
main
provider
school
boards
tend
to
be.
We
also
know
that
there
is
very
little
market
for
undersized
gyms,
primarily
in
elementary
schools,
even
though
they're
great
places
to
run
around
for
some
some
sports
by
and
large
leagues
and
and
serious
gym
users
find
them
inadequate
and
so
in.
In
this
case,
gymnasium
size
does
matter.
Folks
are
looking
for
a
regulation
size
as
much
as
possible.
B
I
can
speak
I
can
let
Diana
or
Paul
speak
to
what
we've
selected
as
the
standard
and
I.
Think
as
you
go
through
and
I,
don't
know
specifically.
If
gymnasiums
has
this,
but
there
are
Deanna
has
written
into
it.
Examples
of
model
sites
that
are
the
right
size
and
I
don't
know
if
there
is
one
specifically
for
gyms
that
point
people
to
the
gym
at
Minto
or
at
whatever
facility,
but
Deana.
Maybe
you
could
speak
to
that.
C
Thank
You
chair
councillor
flurry
in
this
basketball
standard.
We
tried
to
go
to
the
associations
so
similar
to
what
Marci
was
speaking
about
was
the
consultation
was
to
go
out
to
associations
and
try
to
see
what
their
best
practices
were.
So
if
there
was
a
standard
around
FIBA,
so
FIBA,
the
Basketball
Association,
the
best
practices
quoted
around
rich
craft
or
Francois
type.
We
were
the
two
gymnasiums,
and
so
we
use
similar
measurements
from
those
facilities
because
from
user
feedback
and
they
were
the
right
dimensions
or
the
right
style,
and
so
we
based
it
on
those.
C
So
when
we
got
a
piece
of
feedback
from
anyone,
the
working
group
or
from
the
public,
it
was
sort
of
filtered
through
different
lenses.
So
was
it
something
legislative
like
AODA
where
it
had
to
be
in
there?
And
so,
if
you
gave
us
a
suggestion
that
contraindicated
the
AODA,
then
we
had
to
reject
it.
But
if
it
complimented
it,
then
we
accepted
it.
Then
we
looked
at
best.
Practices
is
the
next
level
and
so
did
FIBA
for
basketball
or
FINA
for
aquatics.
That
did
replicate
that
kind
of
standard.
C
And
then
we
looked
at
best
practices,
so
we
went
to
the
people
who
use
and
operate
these
facilities
and
said:
is
this
the
right
storage
space
for
the
gymnasium
that
you
have?
Does
it
need
to
be
a
certain
percentage,
bigger
or
shaped
in
a
different
way?
So
I
don't
think
it's
a
perfect
document?
It
is
meant
to
be
a
starting
point
to
try
and
level
the
playing
field
for
what
those
gymnasiums
are
across
the
city.
F
Manager
I
meet
with
staff
to
get
the
specifics,
cuz
I'm,
not
sure
it's
useful
for
the
committee
yet
but
I
do
have
questions
specific
to
the
gymnasiums
and
the
pools.
My
general
comment
would
be
that
I
would
I
would
keen
in
on
Marcy's
point,
which
is
if
we
are
to
build
or
when
we
are
to
renew
facilities
or
build
new
facilities.
That
is
the
opportunity,
because
that
facility
becomes
part
of
our
portfolio.
I'll
use
the
word
forever
and
from
local
groups
participating
to
us,
the
city
programming
to
event
hosting.
They
have
different
goals.
F
But
if
we
maximize
the
the
spaces
to
hosting
levels,
then
we
know
we've
captured
them
also,
sometimes
the
capital
cost.
The
additional
capital
costs
at
the
beginning
could
be
worthwhile
for
that
for
to
maximize
the
use
of
that
facility
for
their
committee
purposes,
we've
approved
the
sports
strategy
last
term.
This.
This
fits
into
a
an
important
and
important
component
as
dan
highlighted
in
one
of
the
slides
but
Dan
I'm
wondering
where
you
at
relating
to
the
facility
needs
assessments
and
where
you,
at,
relating
to
the
provincial
submission
for
for
rec
renewal
for
rec
facilities.
B
Chair
in
terms
of
the
strategy,
the
the
the
longer-term
plan
we're
at
the
beginning
stages
of
the
consultations
on
that
are
intended.
Delivery
date
is
December
2020,
so
it'll
be
about
another
year.
That's
been
extended
a
bit
because
we
have
taken
on
including
parks
within
the
strategy.
Initially
it
was
going
to
be
just
facilities,
but
in
working
with
with
folks
in
the
planning.
B
So
that's
going
to
extend
it
by
by
a
bit,
but
an
end
of
next
year
is
is
when
will
be
before
you
to
to
present
that,
in
terms
of
the
provincial
funding,
we
have
gathered
information
on
projects
from
across
the
city
that
have
been
submitted
to
us
either
through
counselors
offices,
the
community,
various
sources
and
and-
and
we
have
that
we
have
had
at
least
one
meeting
the
teleconference
with
the
province
to
understand
their
requirements.
Down
to
you
know
a
very
granular
level
type
of
thing,
and
we
are
just
now
mobilizing.
B
B
There
is,
and
we
have
to
actually
submit
the
asset
management
plan
to
the
to
the
province,
to
consider
that
the
new
construction
projects
we
now
have
a
pool
of
those
and
we
are
working
with
the
city
manager's
office,
on
developing
a
process
to
validate
and
understand
which
projects
we
can
put
forward
while
still
talking
to
the
province
about
the
approach
that
they
would
like
the
city
to
see
the
city
can
submit
multiple
projects.
There
is
no
limit
on
the
number
of
projects
that
we
we
can
submit.
B
We
may
be
able
to
submit
some
projects
by
type
of
project
rather
than
by
site.
For
example,
repave
20
recreation
facility
parking
lots
without
specifying
a
business
case
for
each
one
of
them,
so
we're
in
the
the
formative
stages
of
putting
together
what
we
will
submit
working
city
manager,
mayor's
office
and
and
discussing
projects
with
with
individual
councillors
as
well.
Just.
F
B
Are
mindful
encounter
of
the
these
the
tournament
hosting
tourism
aspect
of
that
and
have
looked
at
that
in
terms
of
Sportsplex
and
50
metre
pool?
We
did
include
in
the
last
round
of
development
charges
a
second
50
meter
pool
for
the
city,
so
we
are
now
collecting
DC's
for
that
simply
realizing
that
some
of
the
modifications
that
might
be
required
to
the
aquatic
side
of
the
Sports
Plex
may
be
cost
prohibitive,
if
not
impossible,
and
that
a
fresh
start
might
be
the
best
approach
to
data
that
side
of
the
aquatic
hosting
piece
of
it.
B
So
we
are
mindful
of
it.
We're
also
looking
as
part
of
the
this
term
of
council
strategic
plan
that
you
just
received
some
investments
in
sports
tourism
facilities
like
the
Terry
Fox
Athletic
Complex,
which
tends
to
be
one
of
the
go-to
sites.
For
for
many
events,
we
are
looking
at
for
this
term
of
council
some
significant
capital
improvements
that
would
address
some
of
the
long-standing
issue:
shoes
that
we've
had
with
hosting
large
provincial
national
events
at
that
site.
So
a
couple
of
fire,
irons
and
fire
in
terms
of
addressing
some
of
the
priorities.
B
B
The
the
other
part
that
we're
talking
about,
which
is
the
provincial
grant
opportunity,
may
very
well
provide
either
new
space
to
play
or
some
renovations
that
will
accommodate
better
or
different
types
of
opportunities
for
play.
So
there's
there's,
there's
links,
but
there
at
this
point,
probably
still
indirect.
Okay.
G
Do
you
have
a
list
of
facilities
that
are
that
are
in
need
of
renewal,
and
is
this
going
to
be
done
like
via
the
lifecycle
mechanism
like
as
a
as
a
counselor,
with
a
ward
with
two
aging
facilities
and
at
one
that's
particularly
aged
and
the
other
that
has
a
an
inaccessible
front
desk?
So,
if
you're
to
pull
up
to
the
front
desk
to
register
for
programs
in
a
wheelchair,
it's
a
terribly
condescending
experience.
I'm
just
wondering
how
you're
going
to
go
about
prioritizing
these
projects
a.
B
Chair
the
the
lifecycle
side
of
these
things,
we
work
with
infrastructure
services
every
year,
Council
approves
a
budget
I
believe
last
year
it
was
19
million
for
indoor
for
buildings
and
another
5
million
for
for
Parks.
In
order
to
do
renewal
of
those,
obviously
it
never
catches
up
to
to
the
work
to
the
work.
B
B
The
other
things
identifying
inadequate
facilities
then
requires
a
different
look
at
a
different
funding
stream,
so
those
have
tended
to
be
strategic
initiatives.
Opportunities
for
government
grants
like
the
ones
that
we're
currently
pursuing
partnerships,
those
kinds
of
things
so
it'll
be
a
combination
of
both
with
identification
of
potential
funding
streams
for
for
everything
that
we
present
so.
G
Essentially,
if
we,
if
we
wanted
to
have
retrofits
funded
at
the
Bob
McCrory
site,
we'd
have
to
look
for.
You
know,
as
we
were
looking
at
at
this
no
I
think
at
fedko
earlier
this
year.
The
sites
for
potential
redevelopment
for
things
like
affordable
housing,
we'd
have
to
co-locate,
affordable
housing
with
it
and
collect
the
DC's.
For
that
to
pay
for
these
retrofits,
essentially,
is
what
you're
telling
me
Jerry.
B
G
G
That's
the
only
indoor
pool
in
my
in
my
area
and
also
serves
bar
Haven
as
well.
So
when
I
hear
things
like,
you
know,
improbable
or
possibly
impossible
to
to
upgrade
it.
That
causes
me
a
great
deal
of
concern
in
terms
of
that
whole
end
of
town,
again,
not
just
my
ward
but
but
parts
of
councillor,
Harder's,
Ward
and
and
councillors
rallies
Ward.
That
is
sort
of
the
swimming
hub.
If
you
will
for
that
part
of
the
city,
so
I'm
wondering
if
you
would,
if
you
would
take
direction
mr.
G
Alternatives
are
not
just
within
the
city,
but
at
the
federal
and
the
provincial
levels
as
well,
so
we
can
have
a
better
sense
of
that,
because
once
we
lose
that
facility
for
those
purposes
we're
not
getting
it
back,
and
you
know
we
just
celebrated
the
fact
that
we're
over
a
million
people
and
we're
not
going
to
get
any
smaller
only
going
to
get
bigger.
So
if
you
could
provide
that
to
committee,
give
us
what
could
be
done,
what
that
and
again
how
that
might
be
funded
through
the
various
levels
of
government.
B
Happy
to
do
that,
let
me
clarify
the
comments
in
speaking
to
to
to
the
previous
inquiry
related
to
high
level
competitions
in
50
metre
pools.
Only
simply
that
it's
been
increasingly
difficult
to
satisfy
national
international
bodies
with
the
nature
of
that
pool
in
terms
of
a
community
pool
and
it's
used
for
community
and
local
and
all
those
other
things.
There
is
no
intent
to
change
any
of
that.
What
there
is
the
intent
is,
that
is
that
longer
term,
and
we
just
started
collecting
DC's
this
year
and
it's
a
40
million
dollar.
B
Perhaps
more
initiative
is
to
eventually
replace
or
not
replace
its
eventually,
its
to
eventually
build
a
second
50
metre
pool
that
will
by
then
meet
all
of
the
high-level
competition
requirements
so
that
we
are
more
successful
in
hosting
some
of
those,
but
in
terms
of
a
local
local
use
and
continued
use
by
local
clubs
for
competition
and
all
those
things
and
investment
in
keeping
those
those
pools
going.
That's
not
at
issue
what's
that
issue
is
that
eventually
we
need
to
replace
the
50
metre
tank
with
another
alternative
in
the
city.
B
We
also
think
with
the
population
growth
that
otherwise
is,
is
if
not
ready.
Now
is
going
to
be
ready
to
have
250
meter
pools
in
in
in
the
inventory
and
that
there
would
be
sufficient
demand
to
do
that,
but
happy
to
provide
clarification
and
intent
in
terms
of
maintaining
what's
there
for
for
present
use,
that's
by
no
means
intending
to
question
any
of
that.
Thanks
for
that.
G
But
and
a
100
percent
agree
with
you
that
we
are
of
the
population,
will
get
to
easily
have
enough
business
so
to
speak
for
two
pools.
But
what
I'd
like
to
see
and
I
think
what
councillor
for
he
was
seeing
as
well,
if
possible,
you'd
like
to
see
two
two
pools
that
can
absorb
high-level
competition
as
much
as
is
feasible
and
that's
why
I
think
we
need
a
bit
more
information
about
how
that
might
and
a
stress
word
might
might
work.
Thank
you
happy
to
look
at
that.
G
H
You
very
much-
and
this
is
always
an
awkward
conversation
for
me,
because
I
have
Zippo
recreation
facilities
in
my
ward.
I
just
have
yeah
I
have
a
beach,
it's
nice
for
swimming,
but
I'd
like
to
volunteer
to
take
that
50
meter
pool
if
you're
looking
for
a
spot,
because
we're
supposed
to
be
about
intensification
and
we're
getting
stage
2
LRT
coming
right
through
Bay,
Ward
and
without
recreation
facilities.
We
need
to
look
at
building
new
recreation
facilities
in
older
areas.
This
is
something
that
should
be
part
of
our
official
plan.
H
We
expect
more
people
to
live
within
the
Greenbelt,
and
yet
you
know
the
the
bigger
facilities
are
outside
the
Greenbelt.
So
we
have
to
look
at
that.
It's
something
that
my
residents
have
you
know
had
to
put
up
with
for
a
long
time
there.
You
know
it's
just
gotten
forgotten,
we'd
love
to
to
be
part
of
the
conversation.
I
think
this
is
something
that's
really
important
going
forward.
You
know
I'm
a
swimmer
myself,
so
I'm
always
looking
for
pools,
so
I
know
very
well
where
the
pools
are,
and
it's
something
that
going
forward.
H
B
But
we
will
be
looking
at
every
sector
of
the
city
to
look
at
how
its
currently
served
and
what
what
the
future
needs
based
on
and
the
LRT,
as
you
quite
rightly
state-
is
a
game
changer
in
terms
of
mobility
and
where
people
will
live
and
those
kinds
of
things
and
will
be
a
factor.
In
terms
of
the
plan
that
we
we
bring
forward
to
you.
That.
H
I
A
quick,
sorry,
just
a
quick
question.
Mr.
Chen
yay,
we
have
a
recreation
complex
plan
for
Riverside
South
at
this
point,
doesn't
include
a
great
big
pool
that
I'm
just
wondering.
Are
there
minimum
population
standards
that
are
required
in
order
to
determine
whether
or
not
a
community
deserves
a
pool?
I
We
serve
a
large
area
as
well
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
a
you
know
after
fifty
thousand
you
know
or
and
the
people
have
to
go
to
sawmill
creek
or
Walter
Baker
or
the
Sports
Plex.
What
when
does
a
community
a
new
community
deserve
a
pool
and
with
these
new
standards
it
would
be
quite
interesting.
B
Chair
there
are
old
standards
that
that
were
provincial
in
nature,
I
believe
that
that
talked
about
you
know,
one
pool
to
20,000
or
25,000
and
I
can't
remember.
One
was
for
arenas,
one
was
for
pools,
but
those
were
essentially
recommended
standard
standards.
We
know
that
certain
sectors
of
the
city
are
deficient.
Some
of
those
are
historical.
The
way
some
some
municipalities
didn't
have
any
pools,
and
then
you
know
going
into
amalgamation.
We've
had
to
relook
at
that.
B
Certainly,
in
your
ward,
there
are
two
projects
that
will
eventually
result
in
in
the
addition
of
an
aquatic
facility.
Certainly
the
lower
the
longer-term
one.
The
large
complex
has
a
pool,
the
the
next
one,
the
one
that
we
are
on
the
cusp
of
starting
was
designed
as
a
community
center,
but
with
potentially
at
some
point
also
having
an
aquatic
facility.
There
are
no
funds
right
now
to
do
that,
but
eventually
that
could
that
could
be
so
growth
and
development
charges
do
contemplate
an
aquatic
facility
in
that
end
of
town.
B
We
are
also
looking
with
councillor
Dean's
at
sawmill,
and,
and
it
is
that
getting
on
in
years-
and
we
are
looking
at
a
plan
for
a
replacement
of
that
which
will
not
provide
an
additional
facility,
but
certainly
when
something
new
comes
along,
we'll
be
able
to
have
better
capacity
and
better
ability
to
meet
the
needs
in
that
part
of
town.
I.
I
Was
just
I
was
listening
to
our
presenter,
who
said
that
there's
a
need
for
a
diving
pool.
So
to
me
this
is
an
opportunity
we're
going
to
be
building
a
new
facility.
I,
don't
know
if
your
divers
want
to
come
out
to
the
suburbs,
but
the
traffic
going.
The
other
way
is
better,
but
you
know
there
is
an
opportunity
there,
so
I
would
just
I
would
put
that
forward.
So
thank
you.
J
You
I
just
wanted
to
say:
I
think
this
report
is
really
good.
It's
a
there's,
obviously
more
work
to
be
done
in
terms
of
the
future
and
how
we're
going
to
approach
new
communities
and
existing
communities
and
life
cycle
issues.
But
the
fundamentals
in
this
report
I
think,
are
really
solid.
I
look
at
the
fieldhouse
issue
and
I
actually
have
the
Taj
Mahal
of
field
houses
in
pushman
Park,
which
was
sort
of
accidental.
J
A
A
K
K
Obviously
the
proposed
legislation
that
is
being
put
forth
and
hopefully
I
can
highlight
some
reports
that
have
been
done
on
the
topic
and
then
we
could
look
to
other
cities
and
what
has
been
done
and
I
can
hopefully
illustrate
it,
shed
some
light
on
some
of
the
cities
that
have
done
a
great
job
with
respect
to
some
of
the
legislative
recommendations
and
some
of
the
cities
that,
unfortunately,
have
missed
the
mark.
I
personally
believe
in
what
I
do
for
a
living.
K
I've
been
doing
this
for
over
25
years,
I'm
passionate
about
who
our
client
is
and
I'm
striving
to
do,
the
best
that
we
can
to
help
the
client
through
their
temporary
short
term
cash
need
and
as
a
business
owner
I'm,
hoping
that
the
decisions
made
will
be
factual
based,
not
based
off
of
a
narrative
that
has
plagued
our
industry
for
many
years.
As
a
company,
we've
made
decisions
early
on
to
lend
responsibly
and
also
to
lend
to
the
correct
individuals
that
are
employed
and
can
get
themselves
out
of
a
situation.
K
We've
decided
early
on
not
to
lend
to
individuals
on
social
assistance,
and
we've
also
decided
not
to
lend
to
individuals
on
Ontario
Disability,
Support
Programme.
We
believe
that
the
responsibility
to
help
those
individuals
really
does
fall
on
the
government
at
a
municipal
or
provincial
level,
or
at
a
federal
level.
We
will
be
putting
forth
to
the
provincial
level
recommendations
to
stop
businesses
in
to
payday
loan
industry
from
lending
to
those
individuals,
and
we
think
that
the
narrative
that
stipulates
that
we
are
predatory
and
that
we
are
being
predatory
against
the
most
vulnerable.
K
Having
said
that,
I
don't
want
to
be
seen
here
is
just
being
self-serving
because
obviously
I'm
from
within
the
industry-
and
it
could
be
seen
as
a
bit
of
a
conflict
of
interest
that
I'm
saying
here-
that
we
should
be
able
to
expand
I
do
know
that
as
a
business,
we
have
fought
for
better
regulation.
We've
worked
with
government
officials
to
limit
the
amount
that
can
be
lent
to
a
borrower
to
50%
of
their
take-home
pay.
Not
the
big
guys.
Your
money
marks
your
cash
money's
in
your
cash
for
use.
K
They
never
fought
for
a
limitation
of
50%.
They
also
never
fought
for
lowering
of
rates.
When
you
have
competition.
Competition
generally
brings
lower
prices
for
the
consumer,
we're
talking
about
limiting
competition
and
we're
talking
about
granting
your
money
Mart's
a
monopoly,
essentially
with
the
legislation
that
is
being
proposed.
Obviously,
businesses,
cluster
together,
restaurants,
cluster.
Together,
it's
a
way
in
which
these
businesses
face
each
other
and
compete.
The
customer
wins
in
those
scenarios.
So
to
you
know,
introduce
a
kilometer.
You
know
radius
limitation
means
the
customer
now
has
to
travel
a
longer
distance.
K
One
of
the
concerns
pertaining
to
the
clustering
is
the
notion
that
we
want
the
customer
to
borrow
from
a
variety
from
a
variety
of
competition
in
that
in
that,
and
that's
just
not
true.
If
we
know
that
a
client
is
borrowing
with
the
competitor
and
they
are
honest
with
us
and
telling
so
that
they're
borrowing,
then
we
will
decline
the
application.
It
is
not
in
our
interest
to
lend
this
person
a
subsequent
payday
loan
from
a
business
standpoint.
K
It's
foolish
for
us
as
we
need
to
recover
the
funds,
and
if
that
client
is
borrowing
with
multiple
lenders,
essentially
it
it's
it's
given
away
free
money
and
we
want
to
be
responsible.
So
most
often
when
we
do
have
individuals
that
come
in
and
indicate
to
us
that
they're
borrowing
with
a
competitor,
we
then,
unfortunately,
we
are
not
able
to
help
them.
We
find
that
that's
not
a
long-term
solution
and
then
what
we
do
from
an
education
standpoint
is:
we
refer
them
to
a
non-for-profit
organization.
Here.
K
I
would
like
to
just
bring
your
attention
to
a
report
that
was
recently
done
by
cartus,
they're,
nonpartisan,
think
tank
and
registered
charity
dedicated
to
promoting
and
a
flourishing
society
through
independent
research.
They
have
come
up
with
a
report
that
I
would
urge
all
of
you
in
order
to
make
this
fact-based
decision
to
look
called
the
changing
face
of
payday
lending
in
Canada.
They
talk
about
Hamilton
being
the
first
city
that
has
put
forth
a
lot
of
these.
You
know
actions
and
gave
them
a
failing
grade
and
they've
also
said.
K
F
So
I've
been
a
strong
advocate
for
the
changes
that
happen
provincially
to
give
us
the
authority
and
I
want
to
rectify.
Maybe
two
things
and
I
do
have
a
question
for
you
at
the
end,
one,
which
is
that
in
Ottawa
we
find
restaurants
across
the
city
so
yeah
there
may
be
commercial
clusters,
but
there's
restaurants
in
23
different
Ward's
I
was
asking
just
the
chair
for
a
second
if
she
had
a
payday
lender
in
in
Canada,
and
she
said
no
so
to
me.
That
proves
one
of
the
points.
The
second
element
relates
to
I.
F
Think
a
misconception
from
the
industry.
I
was
a
proponent
of
the
cap,
which
would
have
create
an
environment
where
we
have
54.
Today
you
allow
55
to
come
in
and
you
cap
that
amount
and
then,
as
the
industry
shifts,
they
can
move
wherever
within
the
total
number
I
because
of
some
competitiveness
and
because
things
change
we've
gone
to
propose
a
separation
distance
which
doesn't
stop
the
growth,
so
be
careful
into
how
you
describe
that
now.
F
I
want
to
understand
from
you
what
measures
does
your
organization
put
in
place
to
ensure
that
someone
that
comes
in
for
a
loan
and
respects
the
rules
that
that
are
provincially
mandated,
doesn't
go
across
the
street
and
get
the
matching
loan
for
for
the
same
ownership,
because
that
is
the
source
of
the
cluster
around
the
issue?
Is
around
cluster
and
concentration?
Okay,.
K
Thank
you
for
your
question.
I
understand
that
abusing
of
this
particular
product
does
occur.
A
small
percentage
of
our
client
base
does,
unfortunately,
borrow
more
than
than
once
outside
of
the
competitor
that
is
across
the
street.
As
you
know,
they
can
get
access
to
the
funds
online,
so
limiting
storefront
location
doesn't
stop
the
real
problem.
The
real
problem
is
in
every
facet
of
every
industry.
There
are
clients
who
abuse
the
system
so
creating
laws
that
pertain
to
the
minority
and
affecting
the
majority
I.
K
A
F
Yeah,
madam
and
sorry
for
committee
members,
I'm
quite
invested
in
this
in
this
report
and
I'm
sorry
I
missed
the
planning
one,
but
I
do
think
that
the
planning
components
of
it
I,
see
I,
see
our
friends
from
planning
years
and
thank
you
for
their
either
work.
My
only
planning
question
that
III
missed
was
the
question
from
one
of
my
constituents.
Us
get
the
provincial
changes
and
it
relates
to
the
establishment
of
distances
from
casinos
and
his
requests
to
include
bingo
halls
in
that
environment.
G
But
I'm
chair,
I
think
the
top
part
of
the
challenge
that
we
have
is
councillor.
Blay
asked
for
a
an
inquiry
following
the
planning
community
through
SPECT
to
whether
there
was
an
opportunity
to
separate
payday
loans
from
establishments
that
serve
liquor
or
establishments
that
had
a
gaming
component
to
them.
The
challenge,
with
both
liquor
and
also
with
gaming,
is
that
those
are
both
provincially
regulated
liquor
by
the
Liquor
Control
Board,
the
Control
Act,
and
also
the
Liquor
Licensing
Act.
G
Gambling
venues
are
controlled
by
the
Gaming
Control
Act
under
the
zoning
bylaw
place
like
a
bingo
hall
would
actually
be
considered
an
amusement
center
and
it
is
a
subset
of
an
amusement
center.
It
is
not
a
discrete
land
use
all
to
itself
the
Rideau
Carleton
Raceway
track.
That
is
a
major
entertainment
facility.
Again,
the
gambling
portion
of
it
is
not
in
fact,
actually
a
land
use
that
we
actually
define
in
the
zoning
bylaw
itself.
G
Those
are
provincially
regulated
and
the
provincial
regulations
under
the
Gaming
Control
Act
and
the
Liquor
Control
Act
actually
specify
how
those
sites
are
to
be
run
and
how
they
are
to
work
through.
We
are
going
to
be
submitting
a
memo
back
to
back
to
planning
committee
in
response
to
councillor
blaze,
question
that
will
detail
that
a
little
bit
further,
but
with
respect
to
the
zoning
bylaw
as
it
is
right
now,
we
don't
see
an
opportunity
for
us
to
discreetly
separate
any
further
from
any
other
establishment.
That
would
that
would
that
would
be
liquor
or
gaming.
G
Now,
with
respect
to
the
recommendations
that
we've
made,
because
the
Raceway
is
a
discrete
use,
it
is
identified
within
the
zoning
bylaw
as
a
particular
location.
We
can
say
that
we
think
that
500
metres
is
an
appropriate
distance
that
is
again
to
minimize
the
opportunity
for
visibility
for
impulse
decision-making
and
also
to
provide
a
bit
of
a
separation
for
sensitive
users
that
might
occur.
F
I
want
to
differentiate
myself
from
that
question
and
really
specify,
because
we
don't
have
20
million
bingo
halls.
We
have
one
casino
and
I
believe
in
Ottawa
we're
down
to
three
or
four
bingo
halls.
So
I
don't
want
to
open
up
the
the
bigger
liquor
license
piece
because
that's
a
very
different
environment,
but
could,
as
part
of
yours,
your
your
debrief
on
that
component.
Could
you
have
a
section
specifically
for
bingo
operators
because
I
to
me
those
are
gambling
environments
and
I?
G
F
L
The
licensing
regime
that
is
proposed
today
complements,
what's
already
occurring
at
the
provincial
level.
Generally
speaking,
we
don't
like
to
duplicate,
what's
already
done
at
a
provincial
level,
because
in
some
in
some
respects,
that's
more
effort
for
the
person
who's
being
regulated.
They
have
to
answer
to
two
levels
of
government
instead
of
one.
In
this
case,
though,
what
we're
doing
is
jumping
off
the
provincial
licensing
regime
and
adding
a
few
bells
and
whistles.
L
They
will
also
require
a
few
key
things
so,
for
example,
the
proponent
the
person
that
comes
forward
will
have
to
provide
a
criminal
record
check.
We
know,
for
example,
that's
already
done
at
the
province,
so
this
is
one
area
where
we
are
proposing
to
duplicate,
because
it's
important
for
the
chief
license
inspector
to
review
the
criminal
record
record
check
from
a
provincial
level.
Sorry
from
a
municipal
level,
we're
also
requiring
the
posting
of
a
poster
to
have
additional
information
available
to
payday
loan
clients.
L
What
we're
requiring
isn't
currently
required
under
the
provincial
licensing
regime,
so
we
see
that
as
complimentary,
not
necessarily
duplication,
typical
other
licensing
checks
and
balances.
The
the
licensee
will
have
to
advise
the
chief
license
inspector
of
any
change
of
information.
They
will
have
to
bill
be
subject
to
inspections.
They
will
be
subject
to
requests
for
further
information
to
substantiate
an
application
or
renewal
application.
L
F
And
I'm
a
hundred
percent
behind
what
you're
describing
what
is,
could
could
this
committee
and
reinforce
more
of
the
consumer
protection
by
it's
great
to
have
posters
and
requirements
for
those
posters
to
be
in
place
that
area
of
purchase
or
area
of
exchange?
But
could
we
not
ensure
that
every
time
there's
a
receipt
given
that
also
the
government
information
for
non-for-profits
or
for
bankruptcy
or
for

budget
and
other
groups
that
do
excellent
work
and

as
a
committee
and
maybe
as
a
council.
We
have
to
think
as
to
what
could
we
ask
our
provincial
and
federal
counterparts
to
help
residents
in
our
community
access
loans
with
lower
risk?
And
you
know
we
have
to
be.
We
have
to
say
the
real
things
the
big
banks
have
gotten
out
of
that
world
and
how
do
we
get
them?
F
Re--
engaged
in
that
lending
that
short-term
lending
at
a
more
reasonable
sets
of
rates
and
the
other
one
as
a
society.
The
check
cashing
industry
at
which
is
sub
to
this
payday
lending
is
also
the
big
issue
check,
cashing
when,
when
you
and
I
we
receive
our
paid
goes
directly
to
account.
We
get
zero
charges
for
that.
F
Those
who
have
vulnerable
employments,
who
work
maybe
a
week
and
get
the
check
in
hand
if
they
don't
have
good
banking
records
the
bank
holds
on
to
that
amount,
so
that
doesn't
the
banks
don't
become
an
option
for
them.
They
go
to
these
payday
lenders
who
take
up
to
25
percent
on
check
cashing,
so
you
make
$1,000.
F
F
I
think
we,
as
the
elected
officials,
should
write
to
Minister
of
Finance,
provincially
and
federally
relating
to
those
two
specific
elements:
check-cashing
and
forcing
employers
to
do
direct
bank
to
do
direct
deposits
in
bank
accounts,
which
would
remove
the
fees
and
then
the
other
one
really
relating
to
short-term
lending.
And
how
do
we
make
that
more
standardized
through
the
big
banks.
I
You
chair
actually
councillor
flurry
addressed
many
of
my
concerns
and
it
was
that,
while
restricting
the
distance
between
the
payday
loan
companies
I
think
is
a
great
step,
it
really
doesn't
address
the
underlying
problem,
and
that
is
the
restrictions
people
face
on
cashing
their
checks
and
getting
money.
If,
as
mr.
I
We
see
the
effects
in
the
city
of
the
the
effects
of
payday
loan
companies,
so
I
think
we
should,
as
a
as
a
community
as
a
council
press
for
changes
that
we,
the
banks,
are
making
money
hand
over
fist.
There's
no
reason
that
they
can't
contribute
to
the
quality
of
life
for
many
of
our
residents
by
making
it
possible
for
them
to
to
borrow
and
I
think
we
should
press
ahead
with
that.
So
I
guess
I
was
at
a
question.
That
was
a
comment,
but
thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
I,
just
just
I
guess
a
process.
Question
I'm
trying
to
find
out
I
know
what
circumstances
with
the
new
regime
would
we
shut
someone
down
so
I'll
give
you
the
example
I'm
thinking
of
so
someone
applies
for
the
license
and
we
ask
for
criminal
reference
check
for
the
manager,
so
a
criminal
reference
check
is
submitted
for
Matt
and
it's
clear.
It's
clean
we're
satisfied
with
that
three
or
four
months
into
the
year.
Matt
leaves
they
hire
Katherine.
J
G
L
Joe
answer
the
first
part
of
the
question:
there'd
be
two
opportunities
to
verify
that
there
is
a
valid
criminal
record
check
for
the
particular
manager
of
the
establishment.
There
is
an
obligation
under
licensing
by
law,
to
keep
the
chief
licensed
inspector
apprised
of
any
material
changes,
so
that
is
an
obligation
on
the
licensee.
L
With
respect
to
your
second
part
of
the
question
counselor,
madam
chair,
there
is
no
ability
under
the
licensing
bylaw
to
shut
down
a
business
for
non-compliance,
a
business
license
can
be
revoked
and
fines
can
be
imposed
in
terms
of
shutting
down
a
business.
That
is
a
separate
level
of
inquiry
under
the
Municipal
Act
I
would
defer
to
my
colleagues
and
legal.
If
you
want
to
pursue
that
question
well,.
G
I
think
you've
answered
in
a
different
way,
I
mean
if
we
pull
their
license
and
they
can't
operate
so
so
in
the
scenario
that
I
gave
you,
where
they've
withheld
the
fact
that
they
switch
management
and
the
subsequent
manager,
in
fact
Catherine
does
have
a
criminal
record.
I
like
saying
that
does
have
a
criminal
record
is
that
is
that
a
scenario
in
which
you,
you
would
pull
the
license?
I.
L
G
L
Revoking
a
license
is,
at
the
very
end
of
the
enforcement
spectrum
open
to
the
chief
licensed
inspector
if
there
are
concerns
significant
concerns
for
Public,
Health
and
Safety
consumer
protection.
That
would
be
those
types
of
issues
that
would
require
the
chief
licensed
inspector
to
investigate
and
then
I
decide
to
revoke
a
license.
Those
things
are
appealable
to
the
licensing
committee
as
well.
L
G
M
A
F
Out
of
the
report,
I
think
we
if
we
are
to
give
a
direction
to
consideration
and
we
get
the
committee's
support
on
this-
would
be
to
write
to
the
Minister
of
Finance
that
we
work
with
the
mayor's
office
to
end
the
city
manager's
office,
to
write
to
the
Minister
of
Finance,
federally
and
provincially,
relating
to
the
need
to
offer
affordable,
short-term
lending
options
and
relating
to
issues
of
work,
check-cashing
components.
So
I
I
don't
have
the
exact
wording,
but
it
would
relate
to
those
measures.
F
A
A
G
You,
madam
chair,
for
the
opportunity,
so
I
rise
at
a
point
of
personal
privilege.
My
spouse
is
a
member
of
the
Nepean
Rito
on
Osgood
Community,
Resource
Center
Board
of
Directors,
an
organization
that
receives
funding
from
the
city.
I
have
no
pecuniary
of
financial
interest
on
a
municipal
conflict
of
interest.
Act
I've
decided
to
declare
this
relationship
to
provide
transparency
in
the
spirit
of
section
1
of
the
code
of
conduct
and
to
fill
and
to
fill
fulfill.
My
responsibilities
under
section
243,
a
municipal,
go
act
in
participating
in
this
debate
and
voting
on
the
matter.
G
N
Next
good
morning,
madam
chair
and
member
committee,
we're
really
pleased
to
be
here
this
morning
to
present
the
community
funding
framework,
a
review
and
really
to
give
you
an
overview
of
the
culmination
of
a
tremendous
amount
of
work.
That's
been
done
both
by
our
community
partners,
our
staff
and
many
other
city
departments
that
have
contributed
to
what
you're
going
to
see
today.
The
community
funding
is
part
of
a
commitment
that
the
city
has
made
to
sustain
and
support
the
nonprofit
sector
and
serving
people
with
the
greatest
needs
in
our
community.
N
This
funding
investment
and
the
capacity-building
that
our
staff
does
in
partnership
with
our
community
does
a
key
part
in
sustaining
a
strong
social
infrastructure
in
Ottawa.
But
it's
not
the
city's
portion
alone.
It
is
a
strong
nonprofit
social
services
sector
that
is
crucial
and
critical
for
our
residents
in
our
community.
This
framework
recognizes
the
importance
that
this
group
plays
in
sustaining
our
city
and
creating
thriving
communities.
These
organizations
contribute
to
a
large
diversified
resilient
economy
and
provide
incredible
social
benefits
to
the
city.
N
So,
overall,
in
the
context
of
what
community
and
social
services
as
a
department
provides
to
this
sector,
we
invest
over
a
hundred
and
nine
million
in
a
hundred
percent
municipal
funding.
That
directly
goes
to
nonprofit
social
services
agency,
of
which
the
community
funding
on
below.
But
twenty
four
point,
two
million,
which
is
the
topic
of
the
discussion
this
morning,
is
a
portion
of
that
investment.
N
This
funding
in
many
instances
leverages
another
approximately
a
hundred
and
forty
million
dollars
from
federal
and
provincial
governments,
which
we
flow
directly
to
nonprofit
and
voluntary
sector
organizations,
including
operating
grants
for
social
housing,
childcare
service
providers
and
subsidies,
and
that
we
provide
to
our
housing
providers.
This
significant
municipal
investment,
not
only
leverages
funding
but
also
picks
up
more
policies
and
funding
structures
of
other
levels
of
government,
have
left
off
or
created
gaps
in
our
community.
N
Our
investment
is
critical
to
the
social
service
sector
and,
as
we
are
one
of
the
funders,
few
funders
know
that
fund
core
operations
literally
the
components
the
community
needs
to
keep
the
lights
on
to
serve
our
most
vulnerable.
This
review
that
you
will
hear
about
today
is
about
sustaining
and
strengthening
this
investment
and
in
turn,
the
sector.
It
is
one
piece
of
our
departments,
alignment
to
the
entire
needs
of
our
community
and
those
who
are
facing
barriers
or
more
complex
needs
to
services.
N
N
Claire
I
would
like
to
take
this
moment
to
acknowledge
the
incredible
work
that
she
has
done
in
aligning
and
bringing
together
the
community
for
many
difficult
discussions
where
people
were
really
in
many
aspects
having
to
bring
very
different
perspectives
to
a
common
view
of
what
our
community
needs
to
move
forward
and
Claire
is
here
today
as
many
members
of
our
team
and
with
her
community
colleagues
to
prevent
present
the
community
funding
review.
So
I'd
like
to
hand
it
over
to
Klara
to
invite
her
introduce
her
gasps
and
to
provide
more
information
on
framework.
O
Thanks
Donna
and
good
morning,
so
it's
my
pleasure
to
be
here
today
to
present
the
new
community
funding
framework
model
for
council
approval
I'm,
not
alone.
Today,
Colleen
Mooney,
executive,
director
of
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
sub
Ottawa,
is
here
today
Colleen
on
the
end
and
Michelle
Jaffe
director
general
Santa,
the
Civic
notoya
Vanier,
is
also
here
on
my
right.
O
I
would
thank
Donna
for
that
acknowledgement
of
my
staff's
work
manual,
a
popovich.
She
is
a
key
member
of
our
team.
I
have
Sarah
Terry
here
today
and,
of
course,
Kat
Townsend
who's,
not
here
today
without
the
team.
This
work
cannot
go
forward
on
the
review,
but
especially
I'd
like
to
take
just
a
moment
to
acknowledge
the
community
funding
team
that
works
tirelessly
with
community
partners
to
ensure
that
we
are
investing
in
critical
human
services.
O
So
the
committee
funding
framework
invests
in
viable
nonprofit
social
services
and
represents
a
significant
investment
to
our
social
infrastructure.
The
nonprofit
sector
responds
to
critical
needs,
promotes
citizen
engagement,
leverages
human
and
social
capital
and
improves
community
well-being.
The
updated
community
funding
framework
before
you
today
achieves
the
goal
of
enabling
the
city
to
sustain
a
healthy
social
infrastructure
through
a
funding
program
that
meets
priority
needs,
focusing
on
those
with
the
greatest
needs
and
at
the
same
time
offers
enough
flexibility
to
prepare
us
to
address
emerging
needs.
O
So
a
little
bit
of
background,
the
funding
framework
itself,
City
Council,
approved
the
original
post
amalgamation
community
funding
framework
in
2006.
Since
then,
with
funding
mandate,
priorities,
allocations
and
other
processes.
Since
then,
society
and
social
and
economic
needs
obviously
have
changed,
and
the
portfolio
has
not
changed.
So
that's
one
reason
for
the
review.
The
portfolio
has
grown
in
size
to
twenty
four
point:
two
million
dollars
in
2019,
primarily
through
inflationary
increase
and
sustainability
funding.
The
framework
currently
consists
of
five
funding
streams,
the
largest
of
which
is
the
Renewable
community
funding
stream.
O
In
the
last
decade,
as
I
mentioned,
community
needs
and
priorities
have
changed,
and
so
has
the
nonprofit
funding
landscape.
But
our
community
funding,
priorities,
goals
and
processes
had
remained
the
same.
The
limited
flexibility
in
the
funding
mechanism
left
the
city
unable
to
respond
to
emerging
social
needs
in
a
timely
and
meaningful
fashion.
O
Over
the
past
years
program
outcomes
for
funded
agencies
have
been
tied
to
three-year
reporting
cycle,
and
this
has
resulted
in
the
inability
to
effectively
measure
annual
program
outcomes
or
speak
to
annual
impacts
in
a
consistent
and
timely
manner.
Over
the
past
year,
as
many
community
social
service
agencies
have
requested
an
opportunity
to
apply
for
community
renewable
community
funding,
as
this
committee
is
well
aware,
but
right
now
there
is
no
current
mechanism
by
which
to
come
on
to
that
renewable
funding
stream.
O
So
the
goal
of
our
community
funding
framework
review
was
to
find
a
way
to
sustain
a
healthy
social
infrastructure
focusing
on
priority
needs,
but
offering
enough
flexibility
to
address
emerging
needs.
In
particular,
we
conducted
a
review
of
current
emerging
needs,
emerging
funding,
mandate
and
priorities.
We
conducted
a
needs
analysis,
including
gaps
analysis.
We
reviewed
existing
funding
against
we
stated
priorities.
Is
that
that's
what
we're
undertaking?
O
So
we
broke
the
review
into
three
he
phases
and
the
phase.
One
is
what
we're
presenting
the
culmination
of
today.
The
project
team
performed
extensive
background
research,
which
included
a
review
of
demographic
shifts
and
shifts
and
community
needs,
a
review
of
the
current
funding
landscape
and
current
community
funding
framework,
a
municipal
scan
of
best
practices
and
a
study
of
social
stainability
and
well-being
frameworks
and
strategies.
Second,
consultations
with
both
funded
and
non
funded
agencies
were
undertaken
through
interviews,
focus
groups,
an
online
survey,
a
total
of
150
agencies
and
a
hundred
and
85
individuals
provided
feedback.
O
Third
findings
from
the
research
and
consultations
were
analyzed
into
our
environmental
scan
document.
As
document
two
in
the
report
and
forth,
these
inputs
have
been
used
to
shape
the
community
funding
framework
before
you
today.
This
work
has
been
validated
with
community
agencies
through
an
agency
meeting
where
119
agency
representatives
participated
in
June
and
importantly
through
our
community
reference
community
funding
framework
review
reference
committee
consisting
of
31
agencies,
both
funded
and
not
funded
through
us,
and
including
funders
and
members
of
other
funding
units
within
the
municipality.
O
P
Well,
as
Claire
said,
I'm
calling
moody
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
Boys
&
Girls
Club
of
Ottawa
and
I'd
like
to
commend
the
city
for
undertaking
this
research
study.
It's
been
a
really
great
experience
and
I
am
here
representing
the
non
funded
agencies,
so
we've
had
I
think
about
250
stakeholders
that
have
participated
in
this
process
and
I
think
that
speaks
to
the
challenges
inherent
in
the
charitable
and
nonprofit
sector.
Right
now
that
we
have
been
so
engaged
for
those
of
you
just
a
quick
little
info
about
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
P
If
you
are
unfamiliar,
we
currently
serve
about
4,500
children
across
seven
locations,
all
invulnerable
at-risk
neighborhoods.
We
are
after
school
evening
and
weekend
provider
of
services
that
are
absolutely
free,
and
in
2018
we
were
the
after-school
childcare
provider
for
2700
kids,
ages,
6
to
12
so
I
before
you,
you
have
some
of
the
stakeholder
feedback
and
I
speak
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
when
I
say
definitely
out
there.
P
The
cost
of
living
has
gone
up,
is
all
you
would
know
who
buy
food
and
gas.
Many
of
us
provide
meals
for
our
our
clients,
so
that
has
become
very
difficult
and
as
well
I'd
like
to
address
salaries.
So
while
we
support
the
increase
in
minimum
wage
because
for
us
anyway,
that
has
helped
many
of
our
families
who
are
living
in
poverty,
it
has
become
very
challenging
for
us
alone
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
We
have
over
a
hundred
and
fifty
part-time
staff.
P
So
last
year
in
2018,
that
was
an
additional
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
cost
to
our
agency.
The
needs
are
much
more
complex.
We
are
seeing
a
lot
of
new
Canadians
and
when
these
kids
come
to
our
homework
clubs,
if
they
need
a
lot
more
than
just
a
little
help
with
homework,
they
need
ESL.
They
need.
Many
of
them
have
experienced
significant
trauma.
They
they
need.
Literacy,
help
we're
seeing
youth
with
much
more
complex
mental
health
issues.
P
We
are
also
seeing
a
committee
of
us
rely
on
volunteers
and,
as
the
baby
boomer
bulge
moves
through,
it
is
getting
more

Youth
many

Children
would
know
it's
becoming
increasingly
difficult
for
them
to
get
full-time

and
they
are
very
busy
with
the
site.
There
are
other
activities,
so
it's
hard
to
engage
them.
So
we,
the
city's
role
in,
is
really
critical
to
maintain
that
core
core
funding
and
I
think
what
has
been
so
great
about
this
process
is.

O
Merci,
Michel
a
Colleen,
so
the
environmental
scan
that
included
all
of
the
input
you've
just
heard,
and
others
resulted
in
several
recommendations
or
considerations
for
change
that
has
informed
the
new
framework
before
you,
chiefly
among
them
that
predictable
renewable
funding
for
core
services
and
expensive
expenses
is
highly
valuable
and
is
unique
to
the
funding
landscape.
The
municipality
is
one
of
the
only
funders
that
actually
funds
core
services
keeping
those
lights
on.
O
O
Overwhelmingly
stakeholders
have
told
us,
though,
that
what
that
fukk
told
us
that
funding
the
greatest
needs
addressing
the
needs
of
those
who
are
affected
by
poverty
and
other
issue
socio-economic
inequities.
The
greatest
is
the
priority
and
to
do
that
where
those
inequities
are
most
pronounced.
In
addition
to
the
importance
of
funding,
the
sector
told
us
that
the
city
is
also
in
unique
position
to
adjust
the
root
causes
and
bring
the
sector
together
in
planning
functions
and
other
collaborative
collaborative
initiatives.
So
that
we
can
all
together,
try
and
address
the
root
causes
of
poverty
and
marginalization.
O
The
new
funding
framework
offers
an
opportunity
and
mechanisms
for
ancient
agencies
to
be
considered
for
renewable
funding,
which
is
something
that
has
been
requested
and
also
offers
an
opportunity
to
address
those
inequities
across
agencies.
We're
going
to
be
reviewing
the
funding
across
agencies
to
ensure
that
it's
balanced,
increasing
investments
for
the
growing
needs
and
maintaining
investments
in
community
hubs
is
also
primary
feedback.
O
So
before
you
is
our
new
community
funding
framework
with
a
clear
vision,
mission,
key
principles,
a
clearer
mandate
and
three
very
clear
and
validated
funding
priorities,
this
moves
us
from
a
function
of
only
MA,
but
to
one
of
leading
and
focusing
on
capacity-building,
responsiveness,
more
transparency,
more
collaboration
and
we
believe
more
accountability.
The
key
principles
are
unique
in
that
those
resulted
directly
from
the
forum
that
we
had
with
community
agencies
in
June,
where
feedback
resulted
in
key
themes
that
are
have
now
translated
into
our
key
principles.
O
So
the
new
framework
has
that
clear
vision,
mission
mandate
that
explicitly
addresses
the
funding.
The
findings
and
recommendations
to
address
root,
causes,
focus
on
deepest
need,
sustain
the
sector
and
apply
an
equity
and
inclusion
lens
to
that
work.
It
retains
focus
on
fiduciary
responsibilities
and
oversight
and
is
aligned
to
the
vision
and
mission.
O
In
terms
of
the
three
proposed
funding
priorities,
we
see
them
as
interrelated
poverty
reduction
is
para,
is
probably
the
most
dominant
funding
priority
and
it's
certainly
what
we
will
be.
Putting
the
most
focus.
Community,
Development
and
social
infrastructure
are
also
important
and
together
they
work
on
providing
the
mechanisms
to
sustain
a
healthy,
comprehensive
social
infrastructure.
O
Services
that
support
the
poverty
reduction
priority
would
include
things
like
assessment
and
referral
counseling
and
crisis
management
at
skills
building
in
Community
Development.
We
would
be
looking
at
reducing
structural
barriers,
including
discrimination,
Signet
stigmatization
and
abuse
to
resident
engagement,
increased
residents
capacity
to
engage
in
their
neighborhoods
and
communities
and
increase
residents,
sense
of
belonging,
access
to
reliable
support
networks
and
opportunities
to
develop
skills
safely
and
purchased
and
safely
participate
in
their
communities.
O
Those
three
priorities
as
a
whole
both
address
the
deepest
needs
and
strengthen
the
stand
and
work
to
strengthen
and
sustain
the
sector,
and
they
really
apply
through
a
more
simplified
structure
of
three
funding
streams.
The
three
funding
streams
proposed
are
a
sustainability
fund,
which
is
which
would
be
our
long-term
renewable
fund,
a
Community
Fund,
which
is
more
of
a
medium-term,
1
or
1
to
up
to
3-year
fund
and
in
emerging
and
emerging
needs
fund,
which
is
one
year
maximum
one-time
for
those
urgent
emerging
needs.
O
So
the
next
steps
in
our
funding
framework
review-
and
this
slide
should
say
phase
two
and
three,
our
apologies.
What
is
to
work
on
a
eligibility
criteria?
So
we
are
going
to
be
continuing
on
analysis
right
now.
A
funded
programs
against
the
revised
vision,
mission
and
mandate
and
funding
priorities
to
identify
gaps
and
overlaps.
O
O
Funding
decisions
will
be
made
in
q3
2020,
with
the
rest
of
2020
to
be
used
as
a
transition
year
for
agencies
affected,
some
organizations
in
receipt
of
community
funding
may
have
their
funding
impacted,
which
is
why
the
implementation
phase
will
include
a
transition
period
depending
on
need,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
our
community
partners,
a
community
through
our
reference
committee,
to
ensure
that
everyone
is
aware
of
the
potential
changes.
The
final
goal
is
to
launch
the
full
and
updated
community
funding
framework
in
January
of
2021.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
know
this
has
been
a
tremendous
undertaking
and
just
wanted
to
share
that
a
number
of
the
conversations
that
I've
had
with
the
various
service
providers
who
have
been
involved
or
not
in
this
consultation
phase,
have
expressed
their
their
delight
with
how
the
process
has
gone
and
the
conversations
that
have
been
happening
so
just
to
share
that
with
you.
We
do
have
one
delegation,
that's
joined
us
on
this,
so
it
will
go
to
the
delegation
and
then
we'll
circle
back
to
questions
of
the
team.
A
Q
You
thank
you
very
much,
we're
very
pleased
to
be
making
comments
on
the
committee
framer
funding
framework
report
for
over
60
years,
volunteer
has
been
a
leader
in
helping
people
make
a
meaningful
difference
in
our
city.
We
provide
critical,
volunteer
recruitment
and
capacity
building
services
to
over
400
not-for-profits
who
operate
in
Ottawa.
These
agencies
are
relying
more
and
more
on
volunteers
to
fill
the
gap
between
increasing
demand
for
services
and
stagnant
or
reduced
funding.
Access
to
a
reliable,
dependable
pool
of
qualified
volunteers
is
key
to
their
capacity
to
fulfill
their
mandates.
Q
This
is
highlighted
in
the
report,
which
indicated
that
there
are
over
1
million
volunteer
hours,
contributed
to
the
agencies
that
receive
City
of
Ottawa
funding
in
a
given
year,
and
we
only
see
this
increasing
as
funding
is
reduced
and,
as
volunteers
are
getting
have
more
demands
on
their
time
volunteer
or
plays
a
critical
role
in
ensuring
that
the
agencies
find
the
volunteers
they
need,
and
volunteers
find
the
opportunities
are
looking
for.
Last
year,
over
42,000
appeals
were
posted
on
our
website
and
10,000
individuals
registered
in
our
volunteer
pool.
Q
In
fact,
our
volunteer
pool
served
as
a
significant
resource
for
the
city
when
a
call
was
made
out
to
help
during
the
tornadoes
and
the
flooding
the
agencies
need
also
to
develop
the
capacity
of
their
staff
and
their
volunteers,
volunteered
or
mises
need
by
providing
training
programs
at
a
very
reasonable
cost.
Last
year,
over
1,000
board
members
and
staff
participated
in
the
50
courses
that
we
offer
annually
to
help
agencies
build
their
capacity.
Q
We
welcome
the
proposed
changes
to
the
community
funding
framework.
Thank
the
committee
for
their
consultation
process.
We
were
involved
in
the
discussions.
I
took
place
during
the
review
and
we
especially
would
support
the
recommendations
for
increased
investment
in
Ottawa
social
infrastructure,
an
equitable
opportunity
for
agencies
to
be
considered
for
renewable
funding.
Q
R
You,
my
name
is
Dennis
Jackson,
I'm
volunteer
and
the
board
would
volunteer
Ottawa,
there's
many
positives
in
this
report,
but
there's
one
area
of
significant
concern
for
us,
as
has
an
agency,
in
fact,
there's
no
provision
to
assist
organizations
or
currently
ineligible
for
funding
like
volunteer
Ottawa,
to
receive
assistance
in
the
2020
fiscal
year.
Although
the
recent
past
few
years
so
we've
had
a
significant
cut
in
our
funding,
our
qualifying
from
United
Way,
Canada
and,
most
recently,
without
any
notice,
we've
been
advised
also
that
there
likely
be
further
cuts
to
zero
funding
very
shortly.
R
R
For
this
reason,
we're
asking
for
consideration
to
be
given
to
setting
aside
from
the
current
twenty
four
point,
two
million
community
funding
portfolio
to
assist
organisations
currently
not
eligible
for
renewal
funding
during
the
2020
transition
year.
This
would
involve
realignment
of
existing
renewable
one-time
emergency
and
capital
funding
at
a
minimum
would
respect
or
would
respect.
R
G
Q
Currently
do
not
charge.
We
currently
do
not
charge
for
that
service.
It's
part
of
our
volunteer.
What
individuals
and
students
do
is
they
go
to
our
website
and
they
search
for
volunteer
opportunities?
We
are
exploring
a
possibility
of
looking
at
how
to
be
more
proactive
in
terms
of
helping
those
students
look
for
opportunities.
We
tend
to
work
with
the
guidance
counselor's
and
assist
in
that
way,
but
no,
we
don't
receive
any
funding
from
the
school
boards
for
that
service
either
have.
G
Q
School
boards,
in
terms
of
working
at
providing
volunteer
opportunities
for
their
students,
tends
to
be
a
role
of
guiding
guidance,
counselor
fulfil
and
in
many
cases
a
guidance.
Counselor
is
usually
the
vice
principal,
because
a
lot
of
schools
don't
have
dedicated
guidance
counselor's
anymore,
so
no,
we
haven't
talked
to
them
specifically
uttered
and
dirty
other
than
assisting
them
with
their
individual
students,
but
in
terms
of
receiving
funding
from
the
school
board
for
that
service,
we'd
have
to
explore
whether
they
have
an
envelope
which
is
separate
for
that
separate
open.
R
From
other
not-for-profits
that
I've
worked
with,
we
have
approached
the
ones
that
have
been
what
we
have
approached
looking
for
funding
and
support
and
the
envelopes
I've
never
found
the
envelopes
and
they've
always
been
very
tight.
So
I
wouldn't
be
optimistic,
but
it's
definitely
worth
our
while
to
to
investigate.
G
Mother
was
wise,
first
of
all,
everyone
Dennis,
thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
thank
you
for
all
your
help.
During
the
tornadoes
and
the
floods
with
supporting
some
of
the
volunteer
or
directing
some
of
the
volunteer
to
one
of
the
area,
maybe
Dennis
you
can
answer
Delta's
I
know
you
have
involvement
within
the
United
Way.
G
Some
of
these
agency
has
did
a
fund
raising
in
effort
to
help
the
tornados
and
the
floods,
and
then
we
hear
some
of
their
volunteers
and
your
volunteers
are
facing
with
the
police
record
check,
which
is
a
costly,
is
sometimes
some
volunteers.
They
have
to
get
four
and
five
different
police
record
check.
Have
you
asked
the
United,
Way
or
other
agency
if
they
can
help
to
offset
that
cost
for
the
volunteers,
because
I
heard
time
and
time
again
from
the
volunteer
say
we're
not
doing
it
anymore?
G
If
it's
going
to
be
some
convenience
is
costly,
I
have
to
I
volunteer
in
different
section
and
each
time
I
have
to
get
that
police
record
check.
So
some
agency
are
picking
up
the
cost,
but
I
don't
think
an
agency
like
you
who
doesn't
receive
funding
going
to
be
able
to
support
the
thousands
of
volunteers.
You
have
can
shed
some
light
on
it
and
first.
R
Of
all,
if
I
missed
any
a
correctly
can
salute
your
question
is:
have
we
should
we
approach
United
Way
to
see
if
we
could
get
funding
what
police
checks
so
first
of
all,
I
have
to
make
it
clear
that
I'm
no
longer
a
board
member
of
United
Way
of
Ottawa
or
United
Way
Canada,
so
I
would
not
I,
don't
think
we
have
asked
them
specifically.
We
have
made
several
presentations
and
we
agree
with
the
concern
of
the
police
checks
and
we
had
recommended
to
the
police
board
to
make
changes
for
for
not-for-profits.
Q
Issue
of
police
record
checks
is
going
to
have
another
impact
on
the
not-for-profit
organizations,
because
a
number
of
them
are
concerned
about
one
that
that
would
reduce
the
number
of
individuals
who
want
to
volunteer,
and,
secondly,
a
number
of
organizations,
and
actually
we
just
completed
a
survey
last
week
and
we're
analyzing
the
results
of
the
not-for-profit
organizations
in
Ottawa
to
try
to
assess
the
impact
of
the
decision
to
charge
for
volunteers
for
police
record
checks.
So
I
should
hope
to
have
that
data
next
week
and
I
can
provide
it
to
the
committee.
Q
If
it's
of
interest
in
that.
But
we
are
finding
that
a
number
of
agencies
are
choosing
to
pay
the
cost
for
the
police
record
check
for
their
volunteers,
because
that
they
don't
want
to
have
that
as
a
deterrent
and
that's
going
to
further
reduce
the
amount
of
money
that
those
agencies
have
for
direct
delivery
of
service.
Q
So
agencies
are
trying
different
ways
to
deal
with
this
issue
and
and
you're
correct
that
the
impact,
although
it
sounds
like
like
not
a
lot
of
money
$10
now
in
$20,
in
January,
you're
right
many
volunteers
volunteer
at
many
agencies.
So
they
have
to
have
multiple
police
record
checks.
So
what
we're
trying
to
ensure
as
an
organization
and
in
helping
not-for-profits
is
to
ensure
that
they
can
have
access
to
the
volunteers.
Q
They
need,
and
we
know
what
the
current
provincial
funding
cuts
and
the
competition
for
dollars
that
they're
going
to
be
relying
more
and
more
on
volunteers
to
help
them
fulfill
their
mandates.
And
we
don't
want
to
put
anything
in
as
a
barrier
to
volunteers.
Giving
back
to
our
community.
Ottawa
is
second
only
to
Calgary
in
the
number
of
Valen
hours
that
are
given
to
the
community,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
were
recognized
as
a
city
that
supports
that
activity.
Q
So
when
we
commented
on
the
the
proposed
new
funding
framework,
we're
quite
supportive
of
the
changes
which
will
allow
organizations
like
us
who
don't
currently
have
access
to
to
the
funding
by
the
crucial
issue.
That
Dennis
mentioned
is
that
in
that
next
year,
when
the
changes
aren't
going
to
be
implicated
for
another
year
for
ourselves
and
many
other
organizations
that
year
may
be
very
difficult
to
get
through.
Q
Given
the
current
climate
of
funding
cuts
and
the
reduced
funding
for
us,
for
example,
from
United
Way,
which,
over
the
last
five
years,
we've
had
a
seventy
percent
cut
in
funding
from
United
Way
and
that's
for
core
and
I
want
to
stress.
The
issue
is
core
funding.
We
can
all
apply
for
grants
for
project
funding,
but
they're
very
limited,
they're,
very
restrictive
and
they
don't
recognize
the
costs
associated
with
running
an
organization.
The
core
cost
well,.
G
H
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
want
to
echo
the
thanks
that
have
been
given
by
councillor
Al's
on
tiri
in
terms
of
the
spring
flood
and
volunteers,
ottawa's
assistance
and
getting
volunteers
to
our
communities.
It
was
a
huge
effort
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
role
in
that
I'm.
Really
sorry
to
hear
about
the
cuts
that
were
happened
through
United
Way
I
have
a
question
for
our
staff.
Do
we
give
any
funding
to
United
Way,
directly
I'm,
just
curious.
H
Way:
okay,
thank
you
because
it
sounds
like
the
work
you're
doing
from
from
my
perspective
sounds
like
a
very,
very
useful,
so
I'm
not
sure
what
reasoning
is
and
they're
a
separate
organization.
Are
you
affected
at
all
by
provincial
cuts?
I
mean
there's
been
a
lot
of
cuts
that
have
happened.
Provincially
you
mentioned
about
the
impact
of
the
volunteer
checks.
Are
there
any
other
provincial
cuts
that
have
that
have
affected
volunteer
Ottawa,
not.
Q
Directly
in
terms
of
funding,
but
it's
directly
impacted
on
our
member
organizations,
who
are
then
having
to
rely
on
us
more
for
services
to
help
them
get
their
volunteers,
but
also
trend
we're
starting
to
see
I
indicated.
We
offer
50
courses
a
year
to
help
organisations
build
their
capacity
and
address
professional
development
needs.
H
Q
Government
funding
tends
to
be
project
or
grant
funding.
So
if
we
had
a
specific
program
that
we
could
apply
to
in
terms
of
servicing
this
specific
community
group,
then
we
could
look
for
grants
in
that
respect.
We
do
receive
money
from
Trillium
Foundation
right
now
for
our
diversity
leadership
program,
where
we're
trying
to
encourage
not-for-profits
to
have
a
more
diverse
representation,
the
leadership
roles
and
that's
a
grant
for
three
years,
which
is
great.
Q
H
Councillor
echo
I
was
talking
about
the
school
board,
having
been
a
trustee
for
eight
years.
I
know
that
they're
penny-pinching
all
the
time,
and
so,
but
they
would
need
the
province
to
to
jump
in
if
there
was
any
kind
of
a
funding
stream
that
way,
but
I
don't
think
it
hurts
to
ask
so
that
they
can
in
turn
ask
the
province,
because
it
sounds
like
there's
a
lot
of
benefit
to
that.
So
I
hope
you'll.
Consider
that,
oh
absolutely.
J
Q
No,
we
didn't
because
the
criteria
for
for
the
funding
was
very
project
specific
and
we're
an
umbrella
organization
which
does
capacity
building,
so
it
was
very
difficult
to
fit
in
to
the
criteria
to
even
be
eligible
for
funding.
So
that's
why
we're
asking
1
that
the
funding
be
continued
for
the
next
year,
but
also,
maybe
that
it
opened
up
to
address
issues
like
our
organization
who
services
many
other
organizations
but
doesn't
nicely
fit
into
the
categories
of
project
funding.
Ok,.
J
Well,
you
know
it's
a
daunting
challenge,
I
mean
there's
so
much
need
in
our
community
and
I.
Think
the
work
that's
being
done
here
is
is
really
good.
Until
we
get
to
I
suppose
2021
I
can
see
that
we
have
a
challenge,
but
because
we
have
to
consider
in
the
budget
to
2020
how
we
might
address
that.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
R
The
funding
gap,
so
this
year
was
40,000
and
which
is
one
issue,
doesn't
seem
like
a
big
blow
but
I.
One
of
the
reasons
I
joined
the
volunteered
for
the
sport,
because
I'm
amazed
with
the
changes
in
the
last
five
years
and
what
what
we
are
doing
for
the
community,
both
in
diversity,
training,
both
in
leadership,
training
and
both
in
connecting
corporations
with
individuals
and
a
large
number
of
additional
volunteers.
R
I
R
So
we
have,
we
have
a
comment
is
that
we
we
fully
support
the
recommendation
of
staff
and,
what's
before
the
committee,
we
think
it's
an
excellent
way
and
everybody
should
compete
for
the
same
for
the
same
envelope.
We
are
asking
that
in
the
transition
year
that
that
the
committee
and
council
renew
the
$100,000
envelope
and
allow
us
to
apply
and
substantiate
what
our
need
is
because
I'm
very
serious
about
the
concern
of
the
I'm
going
by
ability
of
volunteer,
Ottawa.
I
Q
But
and
we
support
the
changes
and
we
support
the
opening
up
of
the
process,
we're
just
sort
of
making
a
plea
for
help
us
during
the
transition
year
for
those
organizations
who
who
are
probably
going
to
have
challenges
related
to
both
the
provincial
funding
cuts,
although
they
don't
affect
us
directly
and
other
challenges
with
the
competition
for
a
very
two
dollars
and
an
increased
need
for
services.
The
demands
on
our
not-for-profit
organizations
are
only
increasing.
I
A
Thank
you
any
other
questions
for
the
delegation.
Okay,
seeing
none
thank
you
and
thanks
for
the
great
work
you're
doing
in
our
city,
I
will
move
to
questions
of
staff
and
I
questions.
I
have
stemming
from
stemming
from
this
conversation
is
around
this
transition
year,
so
2020
moving
into
budget
discussions.
Are
we
expecting
that
they'll
be
and
ask
for
that
again?
E
You
chair,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
report.
We
met
I
guess
it's
about
a
month
ago
now
and
went
over
most
of
the
pieces
of
it
and
I'm
quite
pleased
that
that,
as
a
city,
we
are
recognizing
that
on-ramp
funding
project
funding
is,
is
critical
for
new
and
emerging
needs
and
I
just
want
to
start
by
acknowledging
and
I
always
try
to
that.
You,
as
staff,
do
everything
that
you
can
with
the
budget
envelope
that
we
give
you
so
if
I
feel
there's
a
shortfall.
E
When
I,
when
I
look
at
when
I,
you
know,
go
back
and
I
guess
I've
been
around
here
long
enough
time
that
I
remember
the
felt
mate
motion
and
I
remember
how
money
was
put
in
and
you
know,
removed
and
and
when
I,
when
I
was
reading
the
the
report
yesterday
in
in
more
detail,
you
know
it
just
occurred
to
me
that
you
know
we
we
removed
as
a
council.
You
know
five
hundred
thousand
from
in
2011
from
the
annual
sustainability
funding.
E
So
that's
been
gone
now
for
eight
years
we
removed
the
one-time
project
funding,
which
is
what
we're
talking
about
today,
which
was
another
five
hundred
thousand
in
that
cut,
was
made
by
council
in
2013,
and
you
know,
if
you,
if
you
add
that
up,
you
know
we're
looking
at
seven
million
dollars
that
could
have
been
out
there
in
our
community
that
isn't
today
not
part
of
the
base
budget,
but
this
would
have
continued
to
be
part
of
the
base
budget.
Less.
E
You
know
the
five
hundred
thousand
that
was
put
in
2007
and
the
three
twenty
five
and
in
2018,
but
you
know
I
think
we
have
to
really
be
careful
as
as
a
council
when
we're
looking
at
our
budget
when
we're
trying
to
find
ways
of
skimming
off
savings
efficiencies
what
that
means
in
the
end.
So
since
you
know
2011-2013,
seven
million
dollars
is
not
out
there
in
our
community.
E
We
need
on-ramp
funding,
there's
no
doubt
we
have
new
and
emerging
needs,
but
I'm
quite
uncomfortable
that
it's
the
same
pie
and
that
we're
looking
at
the
same
part
of
money,
and
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
look
at
some
of
the
things
that
we're
funding
today.
Maybe
they
don't
fit
in
the
criteria,
but
overall
you
know
we
keep
hearing
from
groups
and
I
do
as
well
who
say.
E
Well,
you
know
I'd
like
on
so
everybody
else
can
take
a
little
bit
less,
but
I've
not
met
many
groups
that
can
take
a
little
bit
less
and
continue
to
be
sustainable,
especially
given
that
we
haven't
kept
up
with
with
the
needs
in
our
community.
So
I
don't
really
have
a
question.
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out.
E
There
I
think
that
it's
it's
important
to
recognize
the
work
that
staff
does
with
what
we
give
them,
but
also
to
recognize
that
we
have
not
given
you
enough
and
that
we
have
made
cuts
as
a
council
that
have
had
significant
impacts
on
our
community
and
when
I,
you
know
when
I
listen
to
Colleen,
and
you
know
I
just
think
very
quickly.
You
know
my
daughter,
who's
12
I
stuck
her
in
this
camp.
This
summer
it
was
a
musical
theater
camp
and
it
kind
of
changed
her
right.
E
You
know,
then,
go
either
way
really
and
what
that
little
bit
of
support
can
do
for
kids,
so
that
years
down
the
road
they're,
better
they're,
better
off,
which
is
a
great
thing,
but
we're
also
not
wringing
our
hands
as
a
community
of
wondering
how
we're
going
to
respond
to
you
know:
violence
in
our
community
or
increase.
You
know,
gun
violence
and,
and
some
of
the
things
that
we're
seeing
today
so
I
think
that
we
really
have
to
look
backwards.
We
have
to
look
forward.
E
A
Thank
you
and
I
should
note
on
I'm
guilty
because
I
let
off
of
the
question
but
circling
back
to
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
were
here
to
discuss
and
approve
the
framework
division
mission
mandate.
So
we
will
have
a
chance,
obviously
through
the
budget
process,
for
further
conversations
with
respect
to
that,
but
councilor
egg-laying.
G
Thank
you
so
I
think
for
the
work.
You've
all
done
on
this
and
I
know.
There's
been
lots
of
stakeholder
discussion.
I
was
wondering,
since
we
are
proposing
shifting
to
a
new
funding
model,
a
new
way
of
doing
things.
Has
there
also
been
discussion
at
the
table
around
this?
The
stakeholders
around
things
like
shared
efficiencies
and
combining
resources-
you
know
maybe
two
or
three
organizations
in
the
same
building
could
share
the
same
IT
support
or
could
bundle
there
they're,
not
they're
hiring,
but
their
supply
needs.
So
we
all
need
paper
for
the
printers.
G
O
Manager
specific
those
specific
discussions
haven't
been
had,
yet
they
will
happen
over
the
next
several
months.
What
the
framework
provides
and
what
it
has
secured
is
an
agreement
amongst
the
sector
to
work
together
with
us.
A
more
structural
change
in
order
to
build
the
kinds
of
partnerships
and
collaborations
that
might
create
efficiency
might
actually
address
duplication
and
might
actually
offer
opportunity
for
perhaps
new
ways
of
doing
things,
so
that
will
happen
over
the
next
several
months.
The
model
provides
the
mechanism
to
have
those
conversations.
Okay,.
H
I
want
to
thank
miss
Mooney
for
being
a
part
of
this
I
know,
she's
done
great
work
with
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
particularly
in
they
Ward
up
on
to
Maurier,
and
I
would
like
to
ask
her
how
these
changes
would
affect
an
organization
like
Boys
and
Girls
Club
to
sort
of
walk
us
through.
You
know
what
you
see
is
different
for
your
participation.
H
I
know,
we've
talked
in
the
past,
and
instability
is
a
problem
in
terms
of
you
know,
playing
guessing
games
of
if
you're
going
to
have
the
funding
next
year
and
continuing
programs
and
hiring
people.
So
can
you
walk
me
through?
How
would
how
these
changes
would
affect
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club?
Thank.
P
You
well,
we
are
hoping
eventually
to
be
on
that
on
ramping
and
get
some
city
funding.
Currently,
in
our
5.4
million
dollar
budget,
we
receive
less
than
8%
from
all
three
levels
of
government
combined.
So
that's
pretty
significant
for
us
that
and
like
every
other
organization,
you
know
like
volunteer
Ottawa,
we're
also
looking
at
a
significant
shortfall
this
year
and
we've
had
to
do
some
significant
cuts
to
our
programs.
For
example.
This
last
summer
we
normally
run
for
10
days
sessions
at
our
sleepaway
camp
Kim
Smitty.
P
We
had
to
lower
that
to
3-1
weeks
five
day
sessions
and
we
had
to
close
that
Clubhouse.
So,
for
example,
when
the
clubhouse
in
your
ward
was
at
Camp
Smitty,
the
clubhouse
in
the
city
was
closed.
So
we've
had
to
you
know,
make
some
significant
changes
to
our
programming,
so
we're
hoping
that
this
will
help
us
just
continue,
really
continue
serving
the
kids
that
we're
serving
right.
Now
we
would
love
we
get
asked
by
counselors
all
the
time.
Why
can't
I
have
a
Boys,
&
Girls
Club
in
my
ward?
We
would
love
to
expand
theirs.
H
You
very
much
I
know
that
there's
other
major
participants
in
our
community,
like
Old
Forge,
that
also
worried
about
their
funding.
That's
for
seniors
community,
so
I
think
this
is
really
important
too.
To
have
some
stability,
one
more
question
and
I'll
direct
it
to
miss
Mooney.
Are
you
affected
by
provincial
cuts
at
all
in
terms
of
some
of
the
pressures
that
have
been
put
on?
H
P
Are
because
we
actually
do
receive
some
funding
effort
from
the
urban
priorities
grant
from
that
flows
from
the
ministry
of
education
that
has
been
cut?
We
actually
get
a
little
bit
of
funding
a
hundred
thousand
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year
from
the
ministry
of
tourism,
culture
and
sport
that
goes
to
fund
the
Ontario
after-school
program
that
has
always
been
multi-year
funding.
You
know
three
years
we
were
told
that
it
is
being
that
there
is
no
more
multi-year
that
it's
been
renewed
for
one
more
year,
but
we're
significantly
worried
about
what
is
gonna
happen
next
year.
A
So
next
we
have
item
five,
which
is
a
long-term
care
2019
update
on
the
consolidated
work
plan.
We
don't
have
a
staff
presentation
per
se
on
this
item,
but
I
did
want
to
just
say
a
few
words
before
staff
take
questions,
and
we
also
have
one
delegation
as
well.
There
has
been
a
significant
municipal
investment
in
the
past
two
years
to
enhance
resident
care,
safety
and
quality
of
life
in
the
city's
long
term
care
homes.
Council
approved
the
comprehensive
work
plan
last
year.
A
It
is
based
on
investigations
by
the
Auditor
General,
a
third-party
review
and
significant
feedback
from
residents
and
their
families.
So
far,
69
of
the
84
action
items
are
complete.
The
city
has
hired
additional
staff,
enhanced
training,
improved
medication
and
auditing
processes,
increased
volunteer
recruitment,
replaced
essential
equipment
and
updated
technology.
I
know
moving
forward.
Staff
are
working
with
corporate
security
to
determine
costs,
to
implement
one
of
the
outstanding
Auditor
General's.
A
Recommendations
on
installing
cameras
in
medication
rooms
and
government
pharmacies
to
mitigate
the
risk
of
drug
diversion
staff
are
also
focusing
on
dementia
care,
as
approximately
8%
of
long-term
care
residents
suffer
from
some
form
of
dementia.
The
city
is
looking
at
innovative
models
of
care,
enhancing
staff,
dementia
training,
updating
the
design
of
the
units
based
on
best
practices
and
creating
a
dementia
care
strategy.
So
the
city
is
committed
committed
to
providing
seniors
with
quality,
long-term
care
and
staff
I'm
told
expect
to
fully
complete
the
work
plan
next
year.
S
Well,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
giving
the
Ottawa
Health
coalition
the
opportunity
to
present
our
views
on
the
recent
updated
update
on
the
consolidated
work
plan
regarding
long-term
care
in
the
for
municipal
homes
in
Ottawa.
The
Ottawa
Health
coalition
is
a
nonpartisan
community-based
coalition
of
individuals
and
groups.
We
advocate
for
improvements
to
our
universal
public
health
care
system.
You
would
have
received
our
one-page
information
sheet
with
the
letter
we
sent
last
May
outlining
concerns
regarding
long-term
care
and
potential
steps
that
would
improve
care
for
residents
and
sustainability
of
the
municipal
homes.
S
We
have
requested
meetings
with
the
mayor
councillors
and
local
MPs
to
discuss
the
impact
of
provincial
government
cuts
on
an
already
strained,
long
term
care
system,
as
well
as
the
need
to
improve
staffing
levels,
support
for
the
provincial
time
to
care
legislation
and
commitment
to
improve
in
care
in
municipal
homes
as
the
most
successful
model
for
long-term
care.
To
date,
we've
received
a
letter
from
the
mayor
and
met
with
councillors,
suds
and
McKenney.
One
of
the
key
areas
mentioned
in
our
correspondence
was
the
implementation
of
the
Fugee
report
from
last
year.
S
The
sixth
item
here
is
the
infrastructure
needs
and
capital
funding.
It's
good
to
see
that
additional
funds
have
been
allocated
for
the
replacement
of
essential
equipment.
We're
concerned
that
some
of
the
buildings
are
reported
to
be
close
to
the
end
of
their
life
cycle
and
need
upgrades
and
perhaps
replacement.
Is
there
a
plan
to
ensure
the
proper
repairs
renovations
and,
if
necessary,
replacement
of
these
for
long-term
care
homes?
S
How
will
plans
for
completion
of
the
work
plan
in
2020
be
affected
by
the
impending
provincial
government?
Cuts
in
a
world
where
private
and
for-profit
health
care
is
on
the
rise,
municipally
owned
and
operated
long
term
care
has
proven
not
only
to
provide
a
superior
level
of
care,
but
also
community
accountability
and
meaningful
democratic
control
because
of
increased
accountability.
Problems
in
municipal
homes
that
are
brought
to
light
are
dealt
with
and
community
and
the
community
is
informed
and
kept
apprised
of
implementation
of
recommendations
and
public
accountability
as
possible.
S
Currently
many
of
the
private
and
not-for-profit
long-term
care
providers
are
lobbying
provincial
government
for
less
accountability
and
transparency.
By
requesting
the
elimination
of
annual
inspections,
a
funding
problem
is
not
solved
by
cutting
corners,
especially
when
the
facilities
are
already
plagued.
With
short
staffing,
increased
complex
care
demands
and
violence.
S
A
A
F
So
I
feel
privileged
to
to
have
that
that
openness
and
open
communication
on
our
efforts
and
on
our
on
our
initiatives,
so
I
won't
boggle
down
on
these
issues
and
I
think
staff
for
being
open
to
the
Family
Council
and
offering
an
opportunity
for
the
fit
some
some
some
some
reporting
or
some
planning
relating
to
capital,
spend
in
the
facilities
on
an
annual
basis
with
the
families
I
wanted
to
raise,
and
it's
it's
not
for
staff
response.
It's
mainly
me
me.
F
A
big
concern
that
I
have
is
when
I
was
first
elected,
I
I
had
the
same
centers
shop,
Laney
and
Gary
J
Armstrong.
Those
haven't
changed,
they're
amazing,
they
do
great
work,
but
the
the
level
of
independency
of
the
residents
has
completely
shifted
and
I
guess.
What
my
question
could
be
is
what
sort
of
additional
healthcare
components
have
we
added
to
our
centers
and
what's
the
Ministry
of
Health's
involvement
in
that,
because,
frankly,
I'm
seeing
I'm
seeing
some?
F
If
you
will
some
slippage
from
the
ministry
of
health
relating
to
their
responsibilities,
that
falls
on
to
the
hands
of
our
providers
locally,
so
Deana
I,
don't
know
if
you
could
just
highlight
out
to
us.
What's
the
the
hospitals
are
keeping
residents
in
short
term,
but
they're
they're
mandating
some
treatment,
components
which
we
end
up
delivering
so
I
want
to
better
understand.
What's
the
Ministry
of
Health's
support
in
this
transfer.
T
So,
madam
chair,
the
the
funding
that
we
received
from
the
ministry
over
the
past
couple
of
years
has
been
approximately
one
point,
five
to
two
percent
and
it
does
not
cover
the
operating
costs
associated
with
the
long-term
care
homes.
So
the
city
of
Ottawa's
contribution
in
2016.
We
were
at
fourteen
point
three
million
dollars
in
contributions
and
in
our
budget
this
year,
we're
at
over
twenty
million
dollars.
Twenty
point:
two
million
dollars,
so
the
City
of
Ottawa
has
accepted
and
supported
the
long-term
care
homes
in
terms
of
the
funding.
T
F
Good
to
hear
from
you
and
obviously
whatever
we
can
do
to
support
you
in
that
endeavor,
my
personal
feeling,
which
builds
on
to
that
is
that
residents
in
long-term
care
have
less
and
less
in
dependency
and
more
and
more
reliability
on
health
care
treatment.
Yet
the
health
care
responsibility
is
a
provincial
one,
so
it
feels
like
we're
becoming
some
form
of
a
hospital,
but
yet
what
we're
only
doing
is
we're
not
providing
the
services
to
those
it's
meant
in
the
first
place,
so
the
waiting
list
continued
to
grow.
F
The
private
providers
in
in
that
care
seem
to
thrive.
So
we
have
a
big
big
set
of
issues
that
are
really
derived
from
the
hospital:
slash
health
care
environment
that
really
need
to
take
up
some
of
the
treatment
and
supports
for
those
individuals.
I
see
the
need,
don't
get
me
wrong.
I.
Just
think
that
we've
we
were
becoming
a
healthcare
provider
and
and
some
of
those
some
of
the
work
that
our
staff
do
I
as
there's
doctors,
I
recognize.
F
F
So
I'm
not
asking
for
a
response,
but
really
really,
you
know
pushing
the
back
the
pressure
back
up
to
the
province.
Saying
you
have
it
responsibly
for
health
care,
please
be
aware
of
the
changing
reality
and
if
someone
from
the
ministry
wants
I'm
sure,
Dean
and
I
could
show
show
some
of
the
realities
were
faced
with
in
in
our
centres.
So
you
know
we're
glad
we're
glad,
but
we're
glad
to
have
our
centres.
The
team
members
do
amazing
work,
but
the
pressure
should
really
go
back
to
the
Ministry
of
Health
to
to
recognize
their
responsibility.
E
You,
chair
I'll,
just
be
brief.
I
echo
much
of
what
my
colleague
councillor
flurry
has
said
in
terms
of
just
the
the
changes
in
our
homes
and
the
the
level
of
care.
That's
required
today
that
even
810
years
ago
we
we
weren't
seeing
there's
a
couple
of
questions
just
for
clarification,
the
the
items
that
have
been
completed
to
date.
T
E
Reviews:
okay,
that's
what
that's,
what
I
thought
and
just
on
the
so
the
the
main
piece,
obviously,
that
I'm
looking
at
is
the
dementia
care
strategy
and
and
we've
had
these
discussions
as
well.
Much
appreciated
and
and
I
I
understand
that,
what's
being
put
in
place
today,
is
focusing
on
the
the
principles
of
it's
called
a
butterfly
approach,
but
I
just
wonder.
E
You
know
how
we're
going
to
take
that
further
step
and
how
we
can
take
that
further
step
to
ensure
that
you
know
what
we
have
is
is,
is
a
you
know,
a
holistic
approach,
but
a
very
focused
approach
for
our
residents,
who
need
that
that
that,
whether
it's
the
butterfly
approach,
whatever
it
is
to
ensure
that
we're
we're
meeting
their
needs,
I,
just
there's
a
difference
between
focusing
on
the
principles
of
something
and
which
I
appreciate.
That's
a
first
step.
But
where
do
we
go
from
here
and
how
do
we?
T
T
Some
of
the
principles
are
difficult
to
implement
in
our
homes
because
of
the
physical
structure.
The
butterfly
approach
really
promotes
small,
smaller
units
and
we're
restricted
with
the
physical
structures
that
we
have
today,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
can't
be
looking
at
implementing
other
best
practices
into
the
homes.
Some
of
the
things
we've
done
today
we're
testing
virtual
reality,
headsets
for
our
residents
with
dementia,
we're
looking
to
put
indoor
flower
gardens
into
one
of
the
homes
we've
implemented,
what's
called
Montessori
nooks.
T
These
are
interactive
areas
where
residents
can
touch
and
feel
different
things
like
a
nursery,
a
kitchen,
an
office
workshop
area.
So
these
are
some
of
the
the
actions
that
we're
putting
in
place
today.
We're
also
decorating
our
units
so
for
residents
who
suffer
from
dementia,
bright,
colors,
help
them
to
adapt
to
the
environment,
and
so
we're
in
the
process
of
working
with
recreation
calls
from
facilities.
H
H
All
widows
who
went
through
dementia
struggles
with
their
with
their
spouses
and
banded
together
to
work
together
at
the
grassroots
level,
to
bring
this
model
to
the
attention
of
the
city
and
I,
really
appreciate
the
uptake
and
I
know
it's
not
perfect,
because
it's
better
in
smaller
situations,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
taking
the
principles.
I
think
this
is
the
way
to
go
forward.
It's
just
a
more
humane
way
of
dealing
with
dementia
and
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
