Description
Standing Committee on Environmental Protection, Water and Waste Management - Agenda 23 - Tuesday, 19 April 2022
Agenda and supporting documents available at www.ottawa.ca/agendas
A
B
A
Couple
items
on
the
agenda
today
and
then
we
have
a
as
far
as
I
know
when
I
was
not
paying
attention
council
tossed
another
item
in
our
way
so
we'll,
I
think,
there's
a
notice
of
motion
to
bring
that
back
to
the
main
meeting.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
so
we'll
start
with
just
a
roll
call.
Chris,
you
want
to
take
that
away.
E
F
A
Which
is
multi-residential
waste
diversion
strategy
and
I
believe,
we'll
likely
have
nicole
hoover
binash
here
as
well
as
lindsay
webley,
who
has
worked
extensively
on
this
file
and
with
our
stakeholders,
a
working
group
in
the
multi-residential
sector
to
get
us
to
this
point
where
we're
talking
about
mandatory
inclusion
for
for
multi-residential
properties
across
the
city.
Of
course.
That's
something
that
this
committee
has
talked
about
in
the
past,
so
without
further
ado
I'll
give
it
to
nicole.
A
D
In
2019,
council
approved
the
waste
plans
roadmap
report,
which
identified
at
that
point
several
component
projects
that
would
be
worked
on
concurrent
to
the
development
of
the
waste
plan
to
continue
progress
on
the
waste
management
portfolio
as
the
master
plan
is
developed.
So
this
multi-residential
waste
diversion
strategy
was
identified
as
one
of
those
component
projects.
It
was
also
identified
as
a
priority
project
from
by
council
by
residents
and
stakeholders,
who
have
all
collectively
acknowledged
the
complex
challenges
and
lower
diversion
rate
of
multi-residential
properties
needs
to
be
addressed.
D
So
the
goal
of
this
strategy
is
to
improve
waste
diversion
in
the
multi-residential
sector,
which
in
turn
supports
council's
vision
to
work
towards
becoming
a
zero
waste
ottawa.
It
also
supports
council's
climate
change
reduction
targets,
aligns
with
provincial
policy
direction
and,
in
turn,
helps
support,
increasing
the
life
of
the
trail
road
waste
facility
landfill.
D
So
the
strategy
and
its
recommendations
were
developed
using
extensive
industry,
research
and
feedback
from
the
community
and
key
stakeholders,
as
chair
moffat
had
indicated
in
his
introduction,
and
it
sets
out
a
framework
to
increase
waste
diversion
from
multi-residential
properties
over
a
short-term
five-year
period,
and
chris,
I
see
the
presentation
is
no
longer
being
shared,
just
wondering
if
you
could
pop
that
back
up.
Please
that's
great,
thank
you
and
we'll
head
to
the
next
one,
please.
D
So
in
terms
of
the
report
recommendations,
this
report
seeks
committee
and
council's
approval
of
the
scope
framework
and
project
pillars
for
the
multi-residential
waste
diversion
strategy.
It
also
recommends
council
direct
staff
to
finalize
the
detailed
cost
analysis
and
implementation
plan
for
onboarding
all
multi-residential
properties,
to
a
mandatory
organics
diversion
program
and
to
report
back
to
council
in
the
first
half
of
next
year,
2023
with
a
detailed
implementation
plan,
as
well
as
a
detailed
financial
analysis
to
support
mandatory
rollout
following
further
stakeholder
engagement.
D
G
Great
thank
you,
nicole
and
good
morning,
chair
members
of
committee.
Under
provincial
regulations.
Multi-Residential
properties
are
classified
as
a
part
of
the
industrial,
commercial
and
institutional
sector.
This
means
that
the
city
has
no
statutory
role
to
play
in
waste
collection
and
diverging
services
from
them,
but
ottawa
city
council,
like
many
municipalities
in
ontario,
has
chosen
to
provide
waste
collection
to
multi-residential
properties
and
in
ottawa.
This
has
been
the
key
since
the
regionalization
of
waste
collection
in
1995..
G
Waste
collected
under
the
city's
multi-residential
collection
contract
accounts
for
about
18
percent
of
waste
collected
by
the
city.
While
this
is
a
smaller
portion
of
waste
compared
to
curbside
households,
our
collection
and
waste
composition
study
data
indicates
there
is
significant
opportunity
to
improve
diversion
at
multi-residential
properties.
G
The
graphic
on
the
right-hand
side
of
the
screen
shows
the
results
of
our
most
recent
waste
audit
study,
which
found
that
more
than
half
of
what
is
in
the
garbage
could
be
diverted
through
recycling
and
green
bin
programs
based
on
collected
tonnages.
Our
diversion
rate
at
multi-residential
properties
is
17,
a
rate
that
is
37
lower
than
curbside
households
in
ottawa.
G
It
is
the
shared
experience
across
municipalities
and
industry
stakeholders
that
managing
waste
at
multi-residential
properties
is
more
complex
than
at
curbside
households
through
market
research
and
extensive
public
engagement
residents
have
told
us
that
their
biggest
barriers
to
using
diversion
programs
or
to
using
them
more
are
access
and
convenience
for
the
property
management
sector.
That's
responsible
for
the
management
and
delivery
of
diversion
programs
to
their
residents.
G
Over
the
past
few
years,
the
city
has
taken
steps
to
reduce
barriers
and
increase
participation
in
diversion
programs.
With
a
recent
focus
on
increasing
green
bin
participation,
the
city
saw
an
uptick
in
the
number
of
properties
participating
in
the
green
bin
program,
as
well
as
our
collected
tonnages.
After
the
introduction
of
plastic
bag
liners
in
2019,
this
policy
change
directly
responded
to
the
top
barrier
identified
by
multi-residential
residents
convenience,
while
also
addressing
the
yuck
factor,
including
pests
and
smell
for
both
property
staff
and
residents.
G
G
G
The
food
and
organic
waste
policy
statement
calls
for
a
50
reduction
in
recovery
of
food
and
organic
waste
from
the
multi-residential
sector
by
2025,
with
the
responsibility
of
this
target
resting
with
property
owners.
Additionally,
the
province
has
stated
its
intent
to
phase
out
food
and
organic
waste
from
landfill
by
2030.
G
at
the
municipal
level.
Improving
waste
diversion
supports
council's
strategic
priority
to
reduce
waste
to
landfill
and
increase
diversion,
improving
organics
diversion
will
support
targets
and
initiatives
set
out
through
energy
evolution
and
the
climate
change
master
plan.
Recalling
that
energy
evolution's
target
calls
for
98
organics
diversion
from
landfill
and
100
diversion
of
paper
material.
G
G
Last
july,
through
the
solid
waste
master
plan
phase,
two
report
council
approved
the
waste
plan's
vision,
guiding
principles
and
goals
through
the
phase
two
report
council
was
also
provided
with
a
high
level
long
list
of
options
for
managing
and
diverting
waste
in
the
city
over
the
next
30
years
since
that
time,
the
list,
since
the
time
the
list
was
received,
the
options
were
evaluated
and
placed
into
options
suites
to
show
interdependencies
and
take
advantage
of
cost
savings.
Where
available.
G
The
recommendations
that
we're
proposing
in
this
strategy
focus
on
projects
that
will
have
the
greatest
impact
in
the
short
term
and
will
contribute
to
diverting
waste
from
trail
waste
facility,
landfills
and
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
To
some
degree,
the
recommended
approach
is
prioritizing
some
of
the
foundational
elements
that
we
can
lay
and
strengthen
in
the
coming
years.
That
will
allow
us
to
consider
more
advanced
diversion
initiatives
in
the
future
next
slide.
Please.
G
Thank
you,
staff
are
recommending
council
approve
the
five
project
pillars
listed
on
this
screen.
The
first
pillar,
expanding
organics,
diversion
to
all
multi-residential
properties,
recommends
advancing
the
solid
waste
master
plan,
option
of
making
organics
diversion
mandatory
at
all
multi-residential
properties
receiving
city
waste
collection.
G
G
G
The
second
pillar,
enhancing
promotion
and
education
recommends
focusing
on
broader
waste
management,
education
and
increasing
outreach
to
the
multi-residential
sector.
Promotion.
Education
is
a
cornerstone
of
our
municipal
waste
program.
Recognizing
that
increasing
resident
knowledge
and
awareness
supports
behavior
change.
G
The
third
pillar,
exploring
pilots,
recommends
investigating
pilot
project
opportunities
to
help
overcome
barriers
and
challenges
with
multi-residential
waste
management,
and
this
could
support
waste
program,
delivery,
outreach
and
education
enforcement
and
data
tracking,
the
fourth
pillar.
Dedicating
and
redesigning
space
for
waste
disposal
programs
recommends
exploring
opportunities
to
integrate
waste
management,
best
practices
into
new
property
development
requirements
and
evaluate
solutions
at
existing
properties
to
reduce
barriers
to
participating
in
these
diversion
programs
and,
lastly,
considering
opportunities
to
support
the
above
four
listed
pillars
through
the
city's
next
multi-residential
collection
contract.
G
G
The
five
recommended
pillars
were
brought
forward
for
engagement
and
feedback
was
received
from
city
councillors,
residents,
the
waste
plan,
stakeholder
sounding
board
and
members
of
the
property
management
sector,
while
support
was
wisely
received
from
many
stakeholders
and
valuable
feedback
was
provided
to
contribute
to
the
implementation
of
the
proposed
pillars,
if
approved
by
council,
the
property
management
sector
identified
logistical
concerns
and
considerations
to
implementing
a
mandatory,
organic
diversion
program
at
all.
Multi-Residential
properties.
G
The
city's
multi-residential
working
group,
which
is
made
up
of
property
owners
managers,
building
staff,
superintendents
and
industry
leaders,
reviewed
the
identified
challenges
and
said
that
many
are
surmountable
with
proper
program
planning.
However,
we
do
anticipate
some
sites
will
be
limited
by
space
and
may
not
be
able
to
accommodate
an
organics
diversion
program
right
away.
G
G
G
This
work,
in
collaboration
with
internal
and
external
stakeholders,
will
also
allow
staff
to
complete
a
full
cost
analysis
for
expanding
the
green
bid
program
and
identify
cost
efficiencies.
Where
available
a
2023
budget
pressure
of
up
to
550
000
will
be
brought
forward
in
the
draft
solid
waste
services
operating
budget
to
support
the
onboarding
collection
and
processing
of
organic
waste
from
more
multi-residential
property.
G
D
Thank
you
so
much
lindsey.
So
in
terms
of
next
steps,
should
council
approve
this
multi-residential
waste
diversion
strategy.
Work
on
the
initiatives
would
begin
immediately
and
by
midway
through
next
year,
staff
will
be
in
a
position
to
provide
an
update
to
council
on
planning
and
progress
made
on
the
project
pillars,
alongside
the
detailed
financial
analysis
and
implementation
plan
to
onboard
all
properties,
to
a
mandatory
organics
diversion
program
going
forward
annual
updates
on
the
multi-residential
waste
diversion
strategy.
D
An
update
on
the
key
performance
indicators
would
be
provided
alongside
waste
plan
updates.
A
full
review
of
the
strategy
would
also
be
completed
alongside
the
solid
waste
master
plan
refresh
which,
as
members
of
council
will
recall,
will
take
place
every
five
years
with
the
first
one
set
to
be
presented
to
council
by
2029.
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much
lindsay
and
nicole.
I
appreciate
your
work
on
this
important
file
that
impacts.
I
know
many
of
the
counselors
around
the
table
and
their
residents,
so
we're
going
to
go
straight
to
our
delegations
and
we
start
with
angela
keller
herzog,
no
stranger
to
many
of
you
from
community
associations
for
environmental
sustainability.
H
Okay,
there
we
are,
and
thank
you
for
putting
up
my
powerpoint,
which
is
called
learn
how
to
compost.
Again
I
thought
that
was
a
catchy
title,
so
thank
you,
everybody
for
your
work
on
this
next
slide.
Please,
I
think
you
all
know
cafes
at
the
environment
committee.
So
next
slide,
please
boop.
Okay,
so
we've
got
five
recommendations
to
the
committee
on
this
item.
I
apologize
for
the
misnumeration
on
my
slide.
H
H
We
would
call
for
a
climate
lens
study
for
organics
waste
management
options.
So,
looking
at
the
bigger
picture
of
how
is
the
city
going
to
be
managing
this
this
stream?
What
are
the
choices?
What
are
the
options?
The
overall
solid
waste
master
plan
has
repeatedly
said
that
there
would
be
greenhouse
gas
implication
assessment,
but
we
haven't
seen
any
of
that
study.
Yet
we
would
also
call
for
the
mandatory
minimum
design
standards
for
new
buildings
to
be
established
more
rigorously.
H
H
We
feel
that
we
have
to
better
understand
energy
transition
solutions
and,
and
beware
of
this
false
solution,
so
I've
I've
been
seeing
increasing
cases
for
questioning
the
production
of
renewable
natural
gas,
and
I
think
that
we
need
a
better
picture
in
ottawa.
Looking
at
the
anaerobic
digestion
versus
aerobic
digestion-
and
I
think
around
now
or
in
the
next
couple
of
years,
would
be
a
really
good
time
to
do
that
before
we
get
locked
in
and
yeah
next
slide.
Please.
H
Okay,
mandatory
standards
for
new
buildings-
I
think
some
of
you
have
been
involved
in
looking
at
the
high
performance
development.
Standard
cafes
has
taken
a
very
deep
look
at
that,
as,
as
you
know,
including
the
comparison
with
the
toronto
green
standard,
so
the
toronto
green
standard
on
waste
management
does
much
better
than
ottawa
again.
So
we
think
that
the
starting
point
for
ottawa
should
be
ratcheted
up
in
this
area
as
well
in
tier
two,
which,
as
you
remember,
is,
are
the
optional
future
considerations.
H
So
then,
in
terms
of
the
plastics
and
the
systemic
plastic
pollution,
we
we've
been
trying
to
poke
this
issue
for
quite
a
long
time
as
as
you
know,
for
years,
we
we
have
seen
a
passing
reference
that
the
city,
organic
stream
now
has
increased
plastic
content
by
13-fold
increase
in
compost.
We
know
very
little,
though,
about
the
condition
or
disposition
of
the
compost.
Apparently,
this
information
is
proprietary
information
to
the
converters
contract.
H
We
only
know
that
it's
being
used
as
non-agricultural
source
material,
which
implies
it
shouldn't
be
returning
to
our
soil.
We're
told
it's
used
for
animal
bedding.
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
guys
have
ever
mucked
out
a
staple
but,
like
you
put
the
stuff
in
the
wheelbarrow
and
you
take
it
to
the
pile
right
and
after
that
that
becomes
fertilizer
and
it
returns
into
our
natural
cycle.
So
in
this
case,
if
it's
polluted
with
plastic,
where
does
it
go?
Does
it
go
to
another
landfill
situation?
H
That's
just
not
called
our
trail
road
landfill
or
what's
going
on,
and
also
there's
some
flags
from
cancer
research
about
how
plastic
accumulates
other
toxic
chemicals.
So
we
need
to
apply
circular
economy.
Principles
is
our
advice
to
food
waste
and
soil
production.
That's
why
I'm
saying
let's
look
at
this
and
learn
how
to
compost
again
next
slide,
please,
I
think,
that's
the
end
yep
there
we
are
oh
and
one
picture.
Sorry.
There
was
only
text
and
very
little
pictures
in
today's
presentation.
So
far.
B
Chair
and
thank
you
angela
for
your
presentation,
good
to
see
you
again,
you
expanded
on
this
in
your
slide
presentation,
but
it's
the
climate
lens
bit
for
organics
waste
management
options.
Can
you
expand
on
in
layman's
language?
What
you're
trying
to
get
at
here
that
you'd,
like
the
city
to
pursue.
H
Yeah,
like
I,
I
think
that
the
the
overall,
like
team
and
scheme
of
the
solid
waste
master
plan
is,
is
great.
There's
a
great
amount
of
resources
and
professionalism,
that's
gone
into
it
right
and
and
to
to
deal
with
this
like
big
beast:
we've
chopped
it
into
pictures
and
time
frames,
so
we're
quite
clear
that
we
want
to
get
the
organics
out
of
trail
road
for
space
reasons
and
we're
quite
clear.
We
want
to
get
it
out
of
there
for
methane
emissions
reasons
right,
but
that's
only
step
one.
H
So
then
the
question
is:
where
does
it
go
and
it's
my
sense
that
there
are
frames
of
inquiry
in
the
solid
waste
master
plan
overall
scheme
that
that
has
an
inquiry
looking
at
the
anaerobic
digestion
right
and
as
soon
as
you
do
that,
and
you
start
asking
about
a
particular
technology,
you,
you
start
getting
people
that
are
like
strong
proponents
and
strong
supporters.
You
need
you
start
to
get
industry
lobby
and
all
that
starts
to
have
a
life
of
its
own.
H
So
what
I'm
saying
is
that
well,
can
we
take
a
climate
lens
at
the
options
for
the
stream?
Can
we
take
a
fair
comparison
of
aerobic
and
anaerobic
options
and
the
aerobic,
which
is
what
ottawa
is
doing
right
now?
We
then,
I
think,
have
again
sub
choices
right,
including
can
we
get
plastics
out
of
there?
Can
we
start
having
a
sort
of
return
to
storing
like
carbon
in
the
soil
right
so
so
that
we
get
into
a
return
to
a
natural
cycle?
I
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
B
A
Great
thank
you
and
if
you
recall,
when
we
were
in
the
stages
that
we've
talked
about
the
solways
master
plan,
there
is
that
triple
bottom
line
component
to
evaluating
our
solids
master
plan.
Looking
at
all
aspects
from
a
environmental,
social
and
financial
perspective
that
we're
not
just
isolating
one,
looking
what's
the
cheapest,
what's
the
best
solution,
but
also
looking
at
those
social
environmental
impacts
of
all
the
options
as
well,
councilor
bernard.
F
Thank
you
very
much
chair
thanks
angela
for
your
presentation
really
nice
to
see
you.
I
was
wondering
about
the
the
information
on
plastic
and
the
timing
for
the
review
of
this.
As
you
know,
the
federal
government
has
been
talking
a
lot
about
banning
some
single-use
substances,
as
well
as
the
convertus
contract
or
renui
contract
ending
in
2030.
F
So
there's
a
lot
of
machinations
happening.
We've
got
the
long-term
plan,
so
I
guess,
in
terms
of
you
know,
reviewing
the
issues
around
plastic,
which
I
know
is
a
major
issue
and
how
we,
how
we
kind
of
transition
over
to
the
ultimate
kind
of
organics
recycling
that
we
want
to
see.
I'm
just
wondering
you
know
what
what
your
views
are.
How
do
we
get
to
to
that
point?
Obviously,
we've
got
a
big
review
going
on
now
and
in
the
next
term
of
council.
F
We've
also
pushed
some
other
decisions
there
into
the
new
term
of
council,
so
just
just
interested
in
your
view
on
on
where
we
had
given,
given
the
success
of
people
using
their
green
bin,
like
there's
been
a
lot
of
uptake
of
people
using
the
green
bin
pandemic
has
been
a
a
big
factor
in
that,
obviously
having
some
type
of
material
to
to
put
things
in
into
the
agreement.
There's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
that
are
happening
right
now.
So
just
really
interesting.
Your
perspective
on
how
we
move
forward
on
that.
H
So
if,
if
we
start
talking
about
what
are
the
outcomes,
do
we
want,
and
I
think
phase
two
of
the
exercise
has
definitely
looked
at
principles
and
where
we
want
to
go.
I
I
think
that
we
want
to
have
healthy
and
carbon
storing
soil
right.
We
don't.
We
don't
want
to
have
soil
and
water
in
our
region,
which
is
increasingly
toxic
and
the
remediation
of
which
becomes
increasingly
impossible
right.
H
H
and
and
I
think
it's
fair
to
give
warnings
to
industry
on
on
what
the
intents
and
what
the
thinking
is
right
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
having
like
not
an
overnight
change,
but
these
stages
of
implementation.
So
there's
there's
issues,
for
example,
of
compostable
plastics
right.
There
are
standards
for
that.
There
are
biodegradable
plastics
that
that
have
their
own
vendors,
but
then
there's
systems
which
are
saying
no.
No,
no,
this
gums
up
our
systems,
so
I
know
that
some
cities
are
starting
to
ban
these
compostable
plastics.
H
H
So
if
the
the
compostable
plastics
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
hate
those
too
right,
but
if,
if
they
need
a
longer
time
frame
for
the
digestion
process,
then
maybe
we
do
want
to
go
there,
but
then
understand
that
the
the
aerobic
digestion
would
would
require
a
longer
time
frame
and
that
would
again
probably
cost
money
right.
So
those
are
choices,
but
it
would
then
also
have
massive
public
benefit
about
not
having
this
systematic
plastic
pollution
of
of
our
region.
H
I
think
also
like
the
the
lack
of
information
about
what
what
is
happening
that
I
pointed
out
in
my
presentation
is,
is
actually
a
little
bit
alarming.
Like
you,
you
can't
just
say:
oh,
it's,
the
corporation's
responsibility
to
deal
with
it
in
a
responsible
way
and
that's
proprietary
information.
I
mean
this
is
our
environment
right,
our
bio
region
and-
and
we
have
responsibility
for
that.
I
Good
morning,
angela,
I
just
in
hearing
you
talk
about
the
plastics
piece
and
getting
plastics
out
of
her
out
of
the
soil
in
in
the
area.
I
think
one
of
the
big
issues
and
I'm
going
to
be
quite
direct
with
you-
is
I'd
like
to
hear
your
ideas
on
on
how
we
can
work
with
folks
to
deal
with
dog
poop.
Quite
frankly,
because
that's
that's
one
of
the
things
that
people
were
excited
about
in
a
sense,
I
can
use
a
plastic
bag.
I
I
can
throw
it
in
the
green
bin,
we're
even
encouraging
people
to
you
know
you
know
get
rid
of
their
waste.
Their
dog
weighs
differently
in
public
parks.
We
have
pilots
around
that
sort
of
thing.
So
what's
what's
your
suggestion
for
that,
because
I
I
know
people
from
talking
to
residents
they're
not
going
to
take
it
home
and
and
put
it
in
the
toilet,
they're
just
they're
not
going
to
do
that
they
maybe
should,
but
but
but
they're
not
going
to
so
I
I
just
like
to
hear
it's
a
very
practical
problem.
I
H
Having
these
overflowing
public
garbage
cans
with
like
flies,
it's
like
it's
pretty
gross,
so
I
think
that
for
a
lot
of
the
other
green
bin
stuff,
we
can
talk
about
like
some
kind
of
like
waxed
paper
or
newspaper
solutions
and
not
going
straight
to
plastic,
but
I
think
that
dog
poop
is
when
you
you
put
your
finger
on
it
like.
It
does
seem
like
having
some
kind
of
I.
H
Should
we
be
having
the
city
have
those
bag
dispensers
that
you
see
in
other
municipalities
and
regions
where
you
know
you
go
to
a
green
space,
you
go
to
a
park,
there's
a
dispenser,
and
should
that
be
a
compostable
bag
that
the
poop
goes
into
it's
clean
and
then
it
fully
biodegrades
and-
and
that's
I
mean
one
of
the
drivers.
I
think
that
should
be
inspiring
us
to
to
take
a
really
hard
look
at
the
standards
that
exist
for
these
compostable,
but
degradable
plastics,
and
and
really
really
push
to
see.
I
You
know
thanks
for
that,
and-
and
I
think
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head-
I
mean
one
of
the
issues.
Is
we
don't
really
know
what
the
appropriate
compostable
plastic
is
right?
There
is
an
issue
with
what
the
standards
are
and
and
and
what
it
is,
but
but
thank
you
for
that,
and-
and
I
have
seen
that
model
in
other
cities
where
there
are
where
there
are
dispensers
in
in
parks
and
other
green
space.
So
thank
for
that.
H
Yeah
and
and
again,
I
think
that
one
of
the
insights
that
cafes
has
gotten
from
our
work
over
the
past
few
years
is
many.
Many
many
of
these
problems
we're
not
like
the
first
city
to
encounter
them
right.
So,
let's,
let's
continue
to
look
sideways
to
find
out
like
what
is
toronto,
doing
what
are
other
large
cities
in
north
america
doing
about
managing
this?
What
are
the
technologies,
because
this
compostable
plastic
coming
up?
The
works
issue
is
a
technology
issue.
A
J
Good
morning,
thank
you,
chair
and
thank
you
committee,
so
just
to
be
very
clear.
Wastewatch
ottawa
urges
you
to
approve
the
scope
and
the
framework
and
the
project
pillars
for
the
multi-residential
strategy
and
and
on-site
with
cafes
in
in
in
all,
in
on
on
on
the
five
recommendations,
so
the
pillar
clearly
outlines,
I
think,
workable
and
appropriate
steps
to
address
the
whole
challenge
of
waste
diversion
and
multi-residential
buildings.
J
It's
worth
noting
and
making
the
decision
that
the
strategy
on
the
strategy
that
the
data
presented
by
staff
showed
that
there
is
broad
consensus
and
support
for
providing
green
bin
service,
and
I
imagine
that
this
data
will
confirm
what
many
of
you
will
have
heard
from
your
own
constituents
who
live
in
such
multi-residential
properties.
The
demand
for
the
service.
Is
there
a
survey
of
residents
reported
a
high
willingness
to
participate
in
the
green
bin
program,
despite
concerns
many
expressed
about
access
and
convenience
and
smell.
J
Similarly,
representatives
of
the
property
management
sector
also
showed
strong
support
for
an
organics
collection
program
with
almost
70
percent
of
those
surveyed,
responding
positively
to
the
idea.
So
this
seems
like
a
win-win
scenario:
residents
and
property
manager
on
side
and
willing
to
make
the
necessary
effort
to
make
a
strategy
a
success.
J
There
are
already
examples
of
buildings
where
green
bean
collection
is
operating
and
successful.
The
ottawa
citizen
last
week
reported
on
akora
village
near
the
bayview
shopping
center,
where
soon
all
of
the
10
apartment
buildings
in
the
complex
will
have
green
bin
service.
You
do
not
need
to
reinvent
the
wheel
here
the
need
to
follow
proven
practices.
J
It
is
understood
that
green
bin
service
may
need
to
be
tailor-made
for
some
buildings
where
there
are
building
design
challenges.
Sadly,
a
lot
of
older
buildings.
You
know
weren't
actually
really
very
well
designed
for
handling
regular
garbage,
let
alone
recycling
and
and
composting.
So
I
think
that
needs
to
be
clearly
admitted.
J
The
city
thus
has
a
means
to
increase
diversion
which
is
not
available
to
those
municipalities
who
don't
provide
the
service.
So
the
fact
that
the
city
has
provided
this
service
since
1995
is
is
an
asset
and
and
a
platform
to
to
build
on.
There
needs
to
be
significant
increase
in
spending
on
promotion
and
education.
Again,
something
recognized
in
the
staff
report
not
only
for
multi-residential
buildings
but
across
the
board
for
recycling
and
waste
diversion
it's
a
long-standing
scandal.
J
Pilot
programs
have
their
place,
but
in
this
case
it's
more
a
matter
of
of
selectively
applying
on
a
site-by-site
basis
to
proven
best
practices.
One
such
best
practice
that
should
be
promoted
and
adopters
is
converting
garbage
chutes
to
organic
shoots,
and
this
is
one
of
the
options
identified
in
the
plan
as
option
2
c
4.
with
such
conversion
residents
bring
their
recyclables
and
their
waste
to
the
garbage
room.
J
The
simple
idea
of
changing
the
use
of
the
shoots
enhances,
access
and
convenience
and
helps
address
the
concerns
that
might
be
about
a
messy
organic
bin
in
your
kitchen,
there's
a
very
excellent
short
video
on
the
toronto
environmental
alliance
website
on
the
mayfair
on
the
green
condominium
in
scarborough,
where
they
made
this
change
many
years
ago.
It's
a
huge
success
and
they
found
their
waste
diversion
rates
skyrocketed
as
a
result
of
this
and
some
other
things
they
did
in
the
building.
J
So
there's
enough
experience
to
show
that
this
works.
Clearly,
work
needs
to
be
done
to
improve
building
design,
and
we
just
talked
about
that
a
little
bit
as
well
earlier
in
the
presentation
and
to
more
easily
accommodate
the
organics
program.
Enhancing
waste
management,
design
requirements
and
new
buildings
of
all
sizes
is,
and
new
and
oldest,
is
essential
and
clearly
thought
needs
to
be
given
on
how
you
can
improve
the
physical
configuration
of
premises
for
waste
collection,
older
buildings
and
again
just
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
challenges
in
that
regard.
J
So,
in
conclusion,
adopting
the
five
pillars
recommended
and
making
them
happen
is
an
easy
win
on
the
war
on
waste
and
climate
change,
remembering
that
one
of
the
big
reasons
we
want
to
do
this,
of
course,
is
not
only
to
preserve
the
life
expectancy
of
a
trail
road
and
extend
it
as
much
as
we
can
but
clearly
to
address.
You
know
the
climate
change
greenhouse
gas
challenges
and,
as
stated
earlier,
despite
the
recognized
challenges,
the
provision
of
green
bin
service
to
multi-residential
sector
will
be
popular.
J
A
B
Thank
you
chair.
I
I
don't
have
a
lot
to
say.
I
have
been
a
strong
advocate
for
this
for
years,
we've
all
talked
about
the
need
for
multi-res
buildings
to
get
with
the
program
and
start
using
organics
collection,
and
the
amount
of
waste
going
into
landfill
is
highly
unacceptable,
so
very
pleased
with
staffs.
B
G
Through
you
chair,
thank
you
counselor,
so
the
from
we
are
recommending
the
phased-in
approach
so
starting
june
1st.
That
will
allow
all
new
developments
to
have
mandatory
organics
as
of
day
one
and
how
we're
proposing
to
develop.
The
implementation
plan
is
in
collaboration
with
the
property
management
sector.
We
did
receive
good
feedback
through
our
multi-residential
working
group,
as
well
as
the
survey
that
we
had
put
out.
That
gave
us
a
high
level
overview
of
some
of
the
challenges
that
they
do
anticipate
facing
if
a
mandatory
organics
program
is
put
in
place.
G
So
by
having
a
council
approved
policy
decision
on
mandatory
organics,
it
will
allow
us
to
dive
deeper
with
the
property
management
sector
over
the
next
couple
of
months
and
really
understand
some
of
the
challenges
that
they
anticipate
property
management
staff,
anticipate
yeah.
If
this
is
a
requirement
for
them.
D
And
if
I
can,
mr
chair
just
to
add
to
lindsay's
point
there,
just
keeping
in
mind
as
well,
that
we
will
continue
voluntary
rollout
for
the
lead
up
until
bringing
back
the
implementation
plan
for
council's
consideration
next
year.
We
have
budgeted
to
to
support,
or
we
have
a
budget
to
to
support
additional
properties
being
onboarded
this
year
and
we
have
about
40
properties
as
it
exists
today
that
are
interested
in
continuing
momentum
and
onboarding
a
program
at
some
point.
This
year.
B
F
Thanks
very
much
chair,
I
definitely
feel
similarly
to
counsel
brockington.
Is
that-
and
you
know
been
talking
about
this
with
our
counselor
working
group
as
well
as
sponsors
group,
on
moving
this
ahead
as
fast
as
we
can.
I
really
appreciate
staff's
work
this.
This
is
a
big
win
for
ottawa,
but
it's
the
easy
win
right.
So
we
need
to
remember,
there's
a
lot
more
to
come
here.
That's
not
so
easy.
F
So
you
know
we'll
take
the
easy
win
now
and
let's,
let's,
let's
fast
track
it
and
implement
it
quickly,
how
we
can
I'm
interested
to
hear
you
know
staff's
response
to
counselor
brockington
about
moving
forward
as
quickly
as
as
possible,
obviously
recognizing
it
as
a
change
for
many
buildings
to
implement
this,
but
also
recognizing
you've
got
you
know
a
lot
of
buildings
that
are
already
doing
this
in
ottawa.
The
numbers
are
very,
very
positive
and
trending
in
a
positive
way.
F
So
we
know
we
can
be
done
and
it's
been
pursued
in
other
cities
as
well.
I
will
just
ask
a
couple
of
of
questions.
One
of
my
concerns
is
around
the
city
multi-residential
buildings
that
are
not
receiving
city
services
now
and
may
not
receive
them
in
the
future.
So
right
now
I
read
the
report,
and
so
it's
you
know
right
now.
F
What
might
be?
Is
there
a
direction
in
terms
of
getting
them
to
start
organic
collection
in
a
more
mandatory
way
in
the
future?
And
then,
secondly,
is
the
policy
that
we're
putting
in
place
likely
to
lead
to
some
currently
city
collected
multi-res
buildings
moving
to
private
waste
collection
because
they
don't
want
to
implement
the
green
bin
program.
G
After
you
chair,
thank
you
counselor.
So
in
terms
of
the
properties
that
aren't
receiving
waste
collection
from
the
city,
they
are
still
subject
to
the
provincial
requirements
under
the
food
and
organic
waste
policy
statement,
so
property
owners
will
still
be
required
to
achieve
that
50
reduction
in
recovery
of
food
and
organic
waste
by
2025..
G
We
are
still
waiting
to
hear
from
the
province
in
terms
of
how
enforcement
is
going
to
be
looking,
but
all
multi-residential
properties,
whether
they're
serviced
by
the
city
or
not,
will
be
subject
to
that
now
in
terms
of
the
risk
that
properties
may
opt
to
go
to
private
waste
collection,
there
is,
there
is
a
risk
on
that.
We
don't
have
data
available
to
substantiate
exactly
how
many
could
potentially
leave
city
services,
but
again,
if
they
do
leave
city
waste
services,
they
will
still
be
subject
to
complying
with
that
provincial
regulation.
F
Excellent,
thank
you
very
much
for
those
clear
answers.
I
wanted
to
just
touch
on
a
point
that
keller
herzog
raised
in
their
delegation
around
the
mandatory
minimum
design
question
so
that
when
the
buildings
are
being
constructed,
it's
clear
you
know
they
have
to
put
this
in.
I
I
think
that
may
come
as
part
of
the
fact
that
they,
the
city,
is
moving
to
this
policy
and
we
have
the
example
of
toronto,
but
I
just
wanted
to
get
your
your
view
on
it.
F
There
needs
to
be
some
standards
set
up
so
that
they
they
have
that
prepared
when
they're
building
that
build
to
make
it
easy
for
residents
to
engage
in
this
type
of
behavior.
So
I'm
wondering
your
view
on
that
and
what
you
think
will
will
occur
with
those
new
builds
as
a
result
of
our
decisions
today,.
G
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
for
the
clarification
counselor,
so
in
terms
of
what
what
is
currently
required.
So
all
new
developments
through
the
site
plan
application
process
are
required
to
have
enough
space
for
their
allocated,
garbage
recycling
and
green
bin
programs.
So
this
has
been
the
requirement
since
2012.
So
all
new
developments
should
be
designed
with
space
to
have
accommodate
all
three
of
those
waste
streams.
G
Now,
through
this
strategy,
as
well
as
through
the
broader,
solid
waste
master
plan,
we
will
be
looking
for
more
opportunities
to
enhance
the
development
standards
and
incorporate
waste
management
best
practices
so
through
the
broader,
solid
waste
master
plan.
Looking
at
the
development
standards
is
one
of
the
options
being
considered
and
how
this
strategy
will
support.
It
is
through
the
zoning
bylaw
review
for
infill
housing
and
missing
middle
housing
developments
and
then,
as
well
with
our
pilots,
we
recognize
from
other
municipalities.
G
F
Thank
you
very
much
again
for
that
clear
answer:
the
the
you're
going
to
report
back
to
us,
hopefully
sooner
rather
than
later,
if
possible.
I
know
it's
been
busy,
but
on
that
on
that
piece
we
we're
going
to
see
new
builds
that,
after
june,
1st
2022
have
to
include
this.
The
report
leaves
out
any
timeline
for
the
existing
existing
builds
already
built
buildings,
and
I,
I
suspect,
you'll
come
back
with
that.
F
But
do
you
have
a
best
kind
of
guess
or
or
best
you
know
some
thinking
around
this
now
in
terms
of
timeline
of
of
what
you
might
be
looking
at
in
terms
of
that
phase-in
approach
for
for
people
allowing
you
know,
conor
developments
or
large
scale,
building
owners,
individual
owners
of
units
to
to
convert
to
this
is
it?
Is
it
like?
Are
we
looking
at
2024
potentially?
Can
you
say
at
this
point
or.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
the
question
counselor.
So
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
too
premature
for
us
to
be
able
to
comment
on
the
exact
timeline
given
the
work
that
needs
to
happen
with
our
discussions
with
key
stakeholders
over
the
next
few
months,
and
it's
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
staffing
resourcing.
D
It's
also
a
matter
of
the
capacity
within
the
industry
and
how
we
may
have
to
to
tailor
the
different
approaches
and
and
the
approach
that
we
take
as
an
example,
we've
determined
that
we're
on
boarding
higher
density
properties
with
with
more
units
that
may
allow
us
to
achieve
those
dates
at
a
much
quicker
pace.
But
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
too
premature
for
me
to
be
able
to
comment
on
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
coming
back
with
that
wholesome
information
and
that
a
date
that
we
think
is
is
realistic.
D
E
I
receive
many
many
calls
from
residents
or
messages
from
residents
wanting
organic
waste
management
in
their
building,
and
I
I
don't
know
that
I
have
ever
received
a
complaint
about
organics
in
in
multi-residential
buildings.
So
it
is,
you
know
it
is
something
that
that
people
want,
and
you
know-
and
I
I
do
believe
that
that
it'll
be
it'll,
be
you
know
something
that
people
take
advantage
of.
E
E
G
Series
thank
you
for
the
question
counselor.
So,
in
terms
of
you
are
correct
that,
with
the
that,
with
the
ontario
building
code,
there
continues
to
be
that
advocation
from
municipalities
about
making
more
stringent
requirements
when
it
comes
to,
we
say
version
programs.
Now,
at
the
municipal
level,
we
do
have
the
ability
to
include
requirements
through
our
site
plan
review
process,
which
we
do
for
those
the
allocation
of
garbage
recycling
and
green
bin.
G
So
these
properties
need
to
be
developed
with
enough
space
for
the
communal
bins
to
accommodate
waste
from
all
of
their
their
tenants
for
each
of
those
waste
streams
in
terms
of
the
in
unit.
In
terms
of
the
in-unit
storage,
we
do
have
that
as
a
tier
two
requirement
in
the
high
performance
development
standard,
so
that
is
that
is
there
and
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
both
with
this
strategy
as
well
as
the
broader,
solid
waste
master
plan,
we
will
be
exploring
the
opportunity
to
further
integrate
that
into
our
site
plan.
D
B
Here,
I
think
lindsay
did
an
excellent
job
explaining
the
relationship
with
the
high
performance
development
standards.
Like
many
municipalities,
we
are
eagerly
awaiting
an
update
to
the
building
code
and
anything
we
can
do
as
a
municipality
to
support
that
through
amo
and
the
big
city
marriage
group
as
others.
I
think
we
all
understand
the
importance
of
that.
So
I
think
the
team
has
done
an
excellent
job
in
framing
this.
E
One
last
question:
what
changes
today
or
council
approves
this
going
forward?
What
changes
for
an
average
resident
in
a
multi-residential
building
when
they
write
or
call
and
say
I
want
organics,
you
know
diversion
to
be
introduced
into
my
building.
What
does
this
change
for
for
an
average
resident
who's
in
an
existing
building.
G
Through
you
chair,
thank
you
councillor
so
in
if
this
is
approved
by
committee
and
council,
how
things
might
change
for
residents
when
they
are
looking
to
have,
or
they
do
have
interest
in
a
green
bin
program?
What
happens
currently
is
when
that
that
inquiry
is
forwarded
to
solid
waste
services.
Our
solid
waste
inspectors
will
follow
up
with
the
property
management
staff
at
those
properties.
To
let
them
know
that
residents
are
expressing
interest
and
are
they
ready
to
onboard
the
green
or
to
onboard
or
start
receiving
green
bank
collection.
G
We
will
continue
to
be
working
with
property
owners
and
managers
for
the
onboarding
in
the
order
of
onboarding
just
to
follow
in
in
line
with
the
response
with
the
provincial
regulations
that
put
the
responsibility
on
the
property
owners.
So
we
will
be
able
to
let
residents
know
that
the
program
is
coming
and
as
we
develop,
that
implementation
plan
we'll
be
able
to
give
them
a
firm
date
as
to
when
we
anticipate
all
properties
we'll
have
access.
B
Councillor
king,
thank
you
chair
and
I'll.
Be
brief.
I
just
really
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
the
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
they've
undertaken
with
this
report.
I
know
that
we
had
multiple
meetings
between
myself,
my
office
and
staff,
and
they
have
been
fruitful
and
it's
very
important,
obviously,
that
we
look
at
ways
of
really
seriously
reducing
food
waste
reduction
and
reaching
recovery
targets
for
multi-residential
properties
within
the
city,
and
I
think
that
this
report
and
this
approach
the
strategy
moves
in
that
direction.
B
So
I
really
do
want
to
thank
you
I'll,
be
supporting
the
report,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
you
because
the
concerns
I
have
heard
I've
heard
multiple
concerns,
so
I've
heard
from
residents
in
multi-dwelling
units
who
want
these
types
of
programs.
But
of
course,
we've
also
heard
from
people
who
are
concerned
about
the
mechanisms
for
a
collection,
and
I
know
in
the
conversations
that
we're
having.
B
You
know
we've
heard
examples
today
about
retrofits
and
other
municipalities
that
can
be
undertaken
in
buildings
so
that
we
can
accommodate
the
collection
of
organic
waste
and
really
see
the
application
of
of
the
green
bid
to
multi-dwelling
units.
So
I
really
thank
staff
for
that
work
and
also
for
looking
and
working
with
property
owners
and
managers
to
to
really
address
these
challenges.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
Great
thank
you
councillor.
King
appreciates
comments
and
support
for
our
for
our
team
on
this
file.
I
know
I
think
it's
it's
I
think
councilman
did
did
put
it
well
when
he
said
this
is
probably
one
of
the
easiest
things
we
can
do.
It
is
we're
talking
about
building
owners,
we're
not
talking
about
making
anything
mandatory
or
difficult
for
our
constituents
at
the
curb
side.
A
A
So
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
uptake.
There
will
be
a
lot
more
uptake,
but
I
think
staff
are
also
going
to
keep
on
working
to
make
sure
that
keeps
happening.
But
remember
you
know
if
it
if
we
moved
up
the
date
for
for
mandatory
and
all
this
stuff,
it's
us
that
has
to
enforce
it.
We
we
know
that
we
know
that
these
building
owners
want
to
work
with
the
city
to
do
this
and
to
get
this
done.
A
A
You
know
some
of
those
other
concerns
that
we
heard
that
were
barriers
for
residents
in
multi-residential
buildings
and
also
just
on
the
timeline.
You
have
to
remember
that
there
is
no
such
thing
as
q4,
2020
2022,
so
that
that
creates
a
massive
hole
there
is.
There
are
no
environment
committee
meetings
in
the
in
the
last
quarter
of
2022,
because
the
election
is
right
where
we
would
have
a
meeting
because
of
that
previous
decision
by
the
province.
The
transition
date
to
the
new
council
is
no
longer
december.
A
1St,
there's
no
november
meeting
and
the
transition
now
starts
november
15th
and
we
don't
have
a
new.
We
won't
have
a
new,
a
new
committee
set
up
to
have
a
meeting
in
december
in
all
likelihood,
because
you'll
be
focused
on
the
new
general
counsel
and
governance
report
and
all
that
good
times
and
fun
and
figuring
out
who
chairs
what
and
I'll
miss
that
so
so
really
you're.
A
Looking
at
you,
we
only
have
a
few
meetings
left
in
this
year
until
we
actually
get
to
the
next
term
of
council
so
and
you've
heard
it
here
from
nicole
and
lindsay
there's
a
there's,
a
desire.
Yes,
the
report
says
first
half
of
2023,
but
I
know
that
they'll
want
to
get
to
you
as
as
quickly
as
possible.
There's
a
lot
trust
me.
There's
a
lot
coming
in
2023
to
this
committee
to
deal
with
solid
waste
so
be
prepared
for
that.
A
C
C
By
saying
how
pleased
I
am
that
that
the
amount
of
interest
that
this
inquiry
and
the
motion
have
have
gained,
and
it
started
with
the
altivis
community
association
initiative
and
it
gained
interest
with
cafe
and
the
ottawa
south
environmental
action
network
and
community
groups
across
the
city
and
that's
heartening,
to
see
the
care
of
course
of
of
our
community.
With
respect
to
green
space.
C
It
came
about
just
reminding
the
committee
and
my
council
colleagues
that
might
be
listening
that
this
came
about
last
year
when
working
with
two
separate
community
groups
to
tackle
invasive
species
like
buckthorn
and
others
in
green
space
and
the
abca,
the
ultimate
community
association
and
the
leadership
of
its
president
marty
carr,
and
also
the
the
green
space
stewardship
committee
that
that
reports
to
the
abca
and
also
friends
of
riverview
park.
Green
space
committee
whole
bunch
of
groups,
and
we
were
noticing,
of
course,
like
others,
a
lot
of
red
tape.
C
If
I
could
use
that
term
in
allowing
volunteers
to
take
on
this
work,
the
lack
of
clarity
on
how
to
navigate
that
process
and
the
multiple
departments,
parks
and
rec
is
involved.
Corporate
real
estate
office,
public
works,
forestry,
all
involved,
and,
and
so
it's
difficult
to
to
approve
things
like
consent
to
enter
agreements,
training
oversight,
disposal
of
materials.
C
Those
are
just
a
couple
of
examples,
and
so
the
city
currently
doesn't
have
a
program
in
place
to
grant
this
kind
of
stewardship
to
to
eager
residents
who
bring
knowledge,
sweat
equity.
If
I
could
use
that
term
leadership
extra
hands
to
that
socialization,
all
those
good
things
that
come
with
people
working
together
with
the
task,
mitigating
and
controlling
invasive
species,
in
their
neighborhoods
and
and
our
residents
felt
a
little
bit
left
out
pushed
aside.
This
isn't
your
job,
which
is
not
the
case.
C
It's
more
a
case
of
just
streamline
streamlining
things
so
that
people
aren't
caught
up
in
an
overly
complicated
process
involving
those
multiple
departments,
and
we
know
some
people
in
my
community
we're
taking
on
this
work
already
taking
on
the
risk
of
being
fined
by
the
city
for
improper
use
of
public
space.
So
this
motion,
and
and
thank
you
chair
for
allowing
me
to
tee
it
up
this
motion,
developed
with
staff
in
those
departments
who
do
this
work,
begins
the
process
of
creating
a
program,
a
process.
C
Hopefully
it
alleviates
the
workload
on
staff
in
several
departments
makes
it
clear
for
them
makes
it
clear
for
residents,
makes
it
clear
for
counselors,
creates
a
clear
system
for
residents
to
engage
in,
provides
valuable
education
and
oversight
by
the
city
for
our
residents,
and
so
those
are
my
opening
comments.
Looking
forward
to
hearing
comments
and
and
delegations,
thanks
to
everyone,
who's
voiced
their
support
for
this
motion.
A
K
K
I
just
wanted
to
come
back
today
to
reinforce
the
support
for
this
position
to
be
established,
and
I
also
wanted
to
give
an
example
of
the
value
that
this
position
could
have
in
helping
create
having
resources
to
create
these
consent
to
enter
agreements.
I
understand,
hopefully
correctly,
that
the
city
of
ottawa
staff
no
longer
have
time
to
cobble
these
together
between
the
various
departments
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
requests
for
these
to
be
developed
in
the
past
few
months.
K
We
did
get
one
in
alta
vista
and
I
just
wanted
to
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
work
that
we've
done
and
show
you
the
value
of
what
can
be
harnessed
in
a
community
when
these
sort
of
initiatives
are
developed.
So
if
we
just
flip
to
slide
two
or
slide
three
just
the
context,
I
think
we're
all
aware
of
the
dangers
that
invasive
species
pose
to
biodiversity
and
ecology.
K
There's
been
a
lot
of
neglect
in
our
parks
and
green
spaces
and
throughout
ottawa
over
the
years
and
in
many
cases
the
parks
and
green
spaces
are
completely
overrun
with
different
invasive
species.
In
alta
vista,
we
really
deal
a
lot
with
garlic,
mustard
dog
strangling
vine
and
the
two
types
of
buckthorn.
Other
communities
are
dealing
more
with
japanese
knotwood
for
us.
You
know
we
see
these
ones
as
the
biggest
threat.
K
You
can
really
see
the
damage
that's
done
in
in
alternative.
We
have
37
parks
and
green
spaces.
That's
the
ward
in
the
catchment
area
for
the
altitude
community
association,
those
22
of
the
37,
are
within
our
area.
We've
got
a
lot
of
green
space
and
you
know
you
look
at
something
like
dog
strangling
vine,
which
is
a
a
big
threat
to
the
monarch,
butterfly
it
mistakes.
The
dog
strangling
vine
for
me
for
milkweed
and
lays
eggs
on
the
vine,
and
you
know
it's
really
contributing
to
the
extinction
of
that.
K
We
are
well
aware
that
the
city
doesn't
have
the
resources
to
do
this
and
lots
of
people
on
hand
and
and
and
willing,
and
if
the
city
was
able
to
do
call
outs
for
these
type
of
things
like
they
do,
for
cleaning
the
capital
or
for
getting
us
to
wrap
the
trees
in
burlap
to
get
rid
of
the
spongy
moth.
I
think
you'd
even
see
a
lot
more
and
so
we'll
just
go
to
what
sort
of
share
our
experience
since
we
got
our
consent
to
enter
agreement
just
on
the
next
slide.
K
And
just
so,
we
learned
last
year
the
potential
to
obtain
a
consent
tenure
agreement
after
about
two
years
of
discussing
with
staff,
on
on
how
we
were
going
to
get
a
handle
on
the
invasive
experiences
and
start
to
work.
So
after
it
presented
in
november,
we
went
to
the
corporate
real
estate
office
on
december
7th,
advising
that
we
would
like
an
agreement
by
april
1st
by
the
day
before
it
was
received
and
signed
by
all
parties.
K
We've
connected
with
a
lot
of
community
groups-
and
we
have
so
far
47
volunteers
who
are
signed
up
to
begin
working
in
work
fees
as
of
next
week
as
of
april
26,
and
it
was
going
to
be
happening
twice
a
week
in
two
locations
in
alta
vista
and
such
like
tremendous
enthusiasm.
Lots
of
people
signed
up.
We
even
noticed
that
in
between
november
and
january,
our
counselor
even
stepped
down
said
he
wasn't
going
to
be
running
again.
K
So
we
expect
that
he's
probably
going
to
be
doing
this
on
a
full-time
basis
as
well
with
us
so
tons
of
enthusiasm.
We
are
following
the
ontario
invasive
plant
council
methodologies.
There's
no
pesticides
involved
in
this.
There's
no
power
tools
and
what
part
of
our
agreement
is.
We
coordinate
with
the
city
on
replanting,
natives
and
the
disposal
of
roots
and
pods,
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
on
purchasing
native
seeds
and
bare
root
saplings,
so
we'll
just
go
to
the
next
slide,
which
I
won't
get
into
detail
with.
K
But
this
is
just
sort
of
an
example
of
you
know.
The
work
plan
that
we've
developed
following
the
best
practices,
how
we're
going
to
be
managing
this
with
the
47
people
working
twice
a
week
from
april
to
august
and
being
able
to
clear
these
spots
and
replanting
and
we're
really
only
focused
at
this
time
on
the
two
invasives
we're
focused
on
dog,
strangling
vine
and
garlic
mustard.
K
This
isn't
even
touching
the
buckthorn
or
anything
that
would
require
machines
or
anything
else,
and
it's
only
touching
two
of
our
22
parks
in
our
catchment
areas,
so
won't
get
into
detail
on
this.
But
this
is
just
a
highlight.
You
know
that
we're
doing
this
in
the
correct
fashion
and
then
just
on
the
the
next
slide.
K
I
think
that
when
you're
establishing
the
position,
it
will
be
really
important
for
that
person
to
look
at
the
efforts
that
are
already
underway
with
groups
all
across
ottawa
cafes
ocean,
some
of
the
community
associations.
We've
all
been
meeting
and
discussing
this
fairly
regularly
and
making
sure
that
we
have
all
those
best
practices.
K
So
we
wouldn't
want
to
see
the
city
duplicate
some
of
that,
but
rather
to
harness
what
we
already
have
underway
and
we've
got
some
terrific
experts
on
these,
but
you
know,
I
also
will
acknowledge
that
this
is
something
that's
really.
I
mean
we're
fairly
privileged
community
to
have
that
many
volunteers
available
and
ready
to
work,
people
that
maybe
don't
have
to
have
a
job
or
are
retired,
and
so
we
know
that
this
situation
is
is
all
over
the
city.
K
So
I
think
the
resource
will
be
important
as
well
in
aiding
those
communities
that
maybe
don't
have
the
resources
that
we
do
and
just
to
mention
that
you
know
very
aware
that
this
one
fte
is
a
very,
very
small
start.
The
problem
is
enormous,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
these
invasives
really
damage
the
soils.
Buckthorn
does
terrible
things
and
difficult
to
ever
replant
in
there.
So
this
is
a
small
start,
but
this
is
a
larger
effort.
K
A
C
C
I
know
I
know
you're
very
busy
and
no
questions,
but
your
presentation
just
highlights
the
time
and
the
work
required
to
do
this,
and
so
thank
you
in
the
abc
and
the
green
space
committee
and
and
and
other
communities
that
that
work
hard,
the
rpca
cafe
ocean
and
on
on
all
these
issues
that
that
impact
our
community.
So
I'm
just
a
wrap
just
did
not
wrap
up,
but
hopefully
my
motion
gets
us
closer
to
where
we
can
be.
It's
not
everything,
but
it
gets
us
closer.
C
A
H
Hi
again,
so
I
understand
counselor
moffat
that
you're
also
stepping
off
council,
so
there
there
may
be
a
recruitment
possibility
and
there
may
be
a
spot
for
you
on
cafes
in
the
future.
You're
obviously
well-versed
on
the
interface
of
municipal
and
environmental
issues.
So
that's
something
to
think
about
alrighty.
So
this
is
our
next
cafe's
presentation
on
volunteer
stewardship
of
community
green
spaces.
H
Next
slide.
Please
next
slide,
please
yeah!
So
this
time
we
have
seven
recommendations.
So,
once
again
we
are
big
thumbs
up.
We
support
the
creation
of
the
proposed
staff
position
and
we
very
much
like
the
idea
that
it
would
be
like
the
the
definite
point
for
contact
for
engaging
with
the
public
on
invasive
plant
stewardship
issues
in
in
the
proposed
motion.
There's
a
number
of
departments
mentioned,
and
I
think
that
gives
you
a
sense
that
this
can
be
a
bureaucratic,
runaround
issue
for
community
members
trying
to
approach
the
city.
H
We
support
the
creation
of
the
staff
position
to
guide
partnership
approaches
between
community
volunteer
groups.
We
also
think
that
there's
a
real
need
for
an
overall
city
strategy
on
invasive
plants.
We
would
support
the
development
of
a
framework
for
invasive
species
volunteer
stewardship,
just
so
that
we
start
all
agreeing
on
on
how
this
should
be
running.
H
We
want
to
hear
a
bit
more
about
what
you
have
in
mind
when
you
say
a
program,
and
I
think
that
marty
was
already
saying
that
we're
not
really
looking
for
duplication
in
terms
of
resource
resources
and
resource
people
that
that
we
have
in
the
community
that
are
in
some
places
stronger
in
terms
of
their
expertise
than
what
the
the
city
has
available.
So
there
should
be
some
some
consultation
there.
H
H
There
isn't
a
lot
of
capacity
or
strength
in
the
city
in
terms
of
restoration
plans
and
sustainable
management,
because
it's
it's
one
thing
to
try
to
have
one
push
on
eradication,
which
is
typically
not
enough,
but
how
do
we
then
regenerate
with
native
species
that
are
competitive
and
prevent
the
invasives
which
land
are
we
talking
about?
Who
owns
it?
What's
the
governance,
so
are
we
talking
about
just
parks?
Are
we
talking
about
shores?
Are
we
talking
about
rights
way?
H
Are
we
talking
about
hydro
corridors,
there's
all
kinds
of
different
types
and
the
governance
arrangements,
I
think
really
should
be
talked
about
and
and
and
that
those
can
be
longer
and
difficult
conversations.
So
it's
great
if
we
are
opening
this
up
the
outcomes.
I
think
that
that
we're
looking
for
are
are
in
the
area
of
public
health,
livability
and
and
equity.
So
again
it
it
is
a
big
canvas
actually
that
that
this
seemingly
a
very
narrow,
specific
topic
leads
us
to
next
slide.
H
So
in
terms
of
the
particular
invasives
also
in
some
areas,
the
community
volunteers
can
do
a
lot.
In
other
cases,
we
are
more
limited,
so
sometimes
the
the
conversation
in
terms
of
strategic
approaches
and
partnership
approaches
who
can
do
what
it
is
definitely
dependent
on
on
what
invasives
we're
talking
about?
Also
I'm
talking
mostly
about
plants,
but
we
we
know
that
there's
also
bugs
and
and
animals
in
in
play
here
next
slide.
Please.
H
H
So
there's
like
there's
like
right
now,
a
bit
of
a
standoff
in
terms
of
people
from
the
community
wanting
to
work
with
the
city
and
and
and
sort
of
seeing
the
hand,
so
I
think
working
on
this.
Creating
this
fta
is
a
good
thing
to
do,
and
one
of
the
main
outputs
that
we
would
really
hope
for
cafes
is
again
this
simplification
of
of
process
and
the
start
of
a
sensible
conversation.
A
A
F
A
They
absolutely
are
yeah
we
used
to.
I
used
to
many
people
know
this.
I
think
I
used
to
read
gas
meters
for
enbridge
and
we
were
learning
about
the
dangers
of
giant,
hogweed
and
stuff
way
back
then,
but
I
I
rarely
ever
saw
giant
hogweed
in
ottawa.
It
was
while
parsnip
was
the
one
that
sort
of
took
hold
in
the
2012
2013
really
proliferated
after
that,
but
I
never
had
a
chance
encounter
with
giant
hogweed,
which
is
absolutely
taller
than
me.
K
C
Thank
you
chair
angela,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
coming
out
and
all
the
work
that
you
do
and-
and
you
know
you
mentioned
in
your
you-
know
the
issues
not
replicating
materials
that
that
already
exist
100,
not
here,
to
reinvent
the
wheel,
to
use
your
words
and
and
to
there's
materials
that
are
that
are
available.
But
we
do
have
the
issue
and
and
we've
seen
it
in
our
ward,
and
perhaps
you
could
comment
on
this
of
people
well,
meaning
going
in.
C
You
know
without
a
consent
to
enter
and
removing
species
just
because
they
don't
know
the
difference
or
it's
for
some
reason.
So
I
guess
that's
some
of
the
the
materials,
the
education,
the
that
that
we
want
the
information
that
we
want
people
to
be
aware
of,
of
what's
to
be
left
and
and
what
what
can
be
removed.
So,
if,
if
cafe,
has
material
on
on
that
basis,
please
share
it
so
that
so
that
staff
don't
reinvent
the
wheel.
But
primarily
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work
and
for
your
support
of
this
initiative.
B
Thank
you
chair.
I
just
just
had
a
brief
note
here
to
to
really
thank
counselor
kluche
and
I
think
of
what
angela
was
saying.
I
know
I've
just
been
losing
here
since
I've
joined
council
so
but
this
is
a
great
motion,
it's
a
it's
a
motion
that
might
be
more
restorative
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
my
hero
line,
maybe
in
the
sense
that
I've
heard
this
from
my
community
members
as
well.
B
But
as
people
had
heard
about
what
they're
accomplishing,
I
actually
heard
from
the
the
residents
association
and
their
their
project
lead
iola
price,
who
gives,
on
a
regular
basis,
talks
on
invasive
plant
removal,
and
the
question
would
invariably
come
up.
How
do
you
manage
to
do
all
that,
when
my
group
can't
get
permission
to
remove
invasive
plants
on
municipal
property,
and
so
that's
why
I'm
really
pleased
of
that?
B
So
I
guess
it's
not
just
cafes,
but
also
that
residents
association
to
ensure
that
there
is
some
help
concerning
stewardship
for
for
other
groups
that
that
want
it,
whether
that's
providing
training
on
identification
or
techniques
of
removal.
So
just
wanted
to
really
thank
councillor.
Bluche
for
this
effort
is
much
appreciated
and
there
had
been
much
conversation,
at
least
in
my
community,
about
really
enhancing
this.
This
type
of
approach,
and
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
this
going
forward
in
this
term
of
council.
A
B
A
Thank
you
appreciate
those
comments.
I'm
sure
council
cliche
appreciates
them
as
well.
You
know
of
the
class
of
2010,
I'm
probably
the
only
one
with
more
here
than
when
than
when
I
started.
I
think
the
rest
of
them
all
have
varying
degrees
of
hair
loss,
keith
keith's,
acknowledging
he's,
I
mean
it's,
either
gray
or
or
missing
from
most
of
them.
Now
the
bright
side
is
ralston.
It's
up
to
you.
Well,
you
weren't
the
class
of
2010
catherine,
but
ward
21
has
a
vacancy.
A
A
So,
thank
you.
So
we
have
a
motion
here
that
the
standard
community
on
fire
protection,
water
and
waste
management
approve
one
that
is
part
of
the
2023
budget
process.
Public
works
consider
the
requirement
for
one
full-time,
equivalent
position
for
the
management
of
an
invasive
invasive
species,
stewardship
program
and
two
that's
subject
to
approval
of
the
necessary
staffing.
A
Public
works,
coordinates
development
of
the
invasive
species
volunteer
program
with
legal
services,
auto
public
health
and
planning
real
estate
and
economic
development
to
ensure
all
necessary
legal
health
and
safety
and
natural
environment
considerations
are
included
in
the
program.
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
we
we
build
on
the
experience
that
we've
had
in
the
past.
I
look
to
people
like
genevieve
raymond
and
lyla
gibbons,
who
were
involved
in
the
wildest
well
personal
program
that
we
had
going
on.
A
We
have
a
lot
of
experience
to
build
on
to
be
able
to
create
this
this
program,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
building
on
those
those
experiences
and
the
information
that
we
have
back
then
of
working
with
our
partner
municipalities,
neighboring
us
as
well
as
other
agencies
throughout
the
city.
Like
you
know,
when
it
comes
to
hydroquarters
and
all
these
different
things
so
on
that
motion
carrier.
H
A
F
F
Therefore,
be
it
further
resolve
that
as
part
of
the
2023
budget
process
planning
real
estate
and
economic
development,
recreation,
culture
and
facilities,
infrastructure
and
water
services
or
innovative
client
services,
consider
the
requirement
for
one
full
fte
position
and
funding
to
develop
and
implement
a
distributed
energy
resource
framework.
Therefore,
for
the
resolve
that
contingent
on
sufficient
resources.
