B
D
B
B
Castle
Cavanaugh's
joining
us
as
well,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
So
the
ready
and
willing
wind
councillor
englette
joins
us.
I
just
wanted
to
start
today
and
I
believe
this
was
mentioned.
The
last
Transportation
Committee
what
it
is
relevant
to
Environment
Committee
as
well
just
wanted
to
congratulate
the
transmission
services
group
under
Phil
Landry,
specifically
amar
Chaudhary
and
Greg
Kent's.
The
City
of
Ottawa
was
awarded
translation
Association
of
Canada's
environmental
achievement
award
for
their
eco
to
Eco
Drive
two
projects
just
recently.
B
So
congratulations
to
staff
on
that
on
that
award,
so
I'll
move
to
the
agenda
so
declarations
of
interest
there
are
conformational
minutes
for
the
meeting
of
Tuesday
December
17th.
2019
are
those
item.
Those
minutes
carried
back.
Ok
married.
Thank
you
so
much
so
we
have
two
items
on
the
agenda
and
we're
going
to
add
a
third.
So
the
first
item
will
have
a
presentation
on
and
Julie
Robinson
is
here
to
do
that
for
us.
So
it's
climate
change,
master
plan,
climate
projections
for
the
National
Capital
Region.
This
was
released.
B
These
projections
were
released
last
Monday,
so
hopefully
you
had
a
chance
to
see
those
item.
Two
don't
think
we
need
to
spend
much
time
on.
So
it's
the
general
accounts,
water,
wastewater
and
stormwater
write-offs,
but
the
Standing
Committee
on
Environment,
Protection,
water
and
waste
management
received
this
report
on
2019
general
accounts
right
off
for
the
years
2014
to
2019.
So
normally
we
would
get
this
annually
that
this
one
has
come
in
after
after
about
cumulative
five
years.
B
B
Carried
carried
all
right,
thank
you
so
much
so
carried
on
item
number
two
and
then
you
received
a
motion
before
hand.
I
am
going
to
ask
that
we
added
rights
here
as
item
number
three
on
the
on
the
agenda.
So
it's
a
it's
a
motion
from
councillor
mckinney
on
the
acceleration
of
the
tree
protection
dialogue.
B
So
first
just
that
Standing
Committee
on
Environment
Protection
water,
waste
management,
suspend
the
rules
of
procedure
pursuant
to
subsection.
Eighty
nine
three
of
the
procedure,
bylaw
being
bylaw
2019,
eight
to
permit
the
introduction
of
the
following
motion,
given
time
sense
of
the
nature
of
the
pretreat
protection,
bylaws
project
schedule
and
the
need
to
secure
the
necessary
resources
to
effect
the
changes
contemplated
as
part
of
the
motion
so
all
gets.
The
motion
was
circulated.
B
I
will
ask
Chancellor
McKinney
to
introduce
the
motion,
but
just
on
the
rules
of
procedure
being
we
need
to
add
this
as
item
three
on
our
agenda
carried.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
can't
speak
anything.
You
just
want
it.
So
we
can
come
we'll
come
back
this
as
I'm
number.
Three
we'll
do
item
one.
First,
we'll
come
back
as
I'm.
Three!
Just
one
give
us
a
quick
just
a
quick
synopsis
of
what
this,
what
this
is
at
the
moment,
yeah.
E
Thank
You
chair,
happy
to,
and
thanks
for
your
work
on
getting
it
on
to
this.
This
agenda
I
worked
closely
with
staff
over
the
last
month.
Really
on
on
this
motion,
I
was
sensitive
to
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
the
staff
have
been
redeployed
as
a
result
of
coated
and
wanted
to
ensure
that
what
we
were
asking
for
would
be
able
to
be
accommodated
through
through
the
staffing
so
essentially
with
clove
ed
and
the
redeployment
of
staff.
E
In
that
short
period
of
time,
just
in
my
ward
alone,
I
had
a
number
of
trees
on
one
Street
that
was
just
under
that
50
centimeter
diameter
removed,
but
quite
a
devastating
impact
on
an
urban
street,
as
you
can
imagine
so
work
with
staff,
and
this
is
essentially
bringing
the
tree
protection
by
law
that
deals
with
the
the
distinctive
tree
permit
be
to
January
1st
2021
rather
than
q3
2021.
That
will
protect
trees.
Now,
over
30
centimeters
all.
B
Right,
thank
you
for
that.
So
will
we
will
get
to
that
again
as
I'm
three
and
we'll
have
staff
well
I'm
staff
here
on
that
file
as
well,
just
to
give
it
a
bit
of
an
introduction
and
a
refresher
as
to
what
it
is
and
why
it's
before
us
today.
So
I'll
go
back
to
item
1,
which
is
the
conscious
master
plan,
climate
projections
for
the
National
Capital
Region,
which
one's.
B
F
Thank
You,
chair
and
good
morning
councillors.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
an
overview
of
the
findings
of
this
report.
My
name
is
julia
robinson
and
I
work
in
the
climate
change
and
resiliency
team.
So
the
presentation
this
morning
includes
some
context
for
the
report,
a
summary
of
the
methodology
and
key
findings
implications
for
Ottawa
and
next
steps.
Next
slide,
please
in
April,
20
19
August
City
Council
declared
a
climate
emergency
to
deepen
our
commitment
to
climate
action.
F
This
was
in
part
in
response
to
global
and
national
reports
that
provide
the
scientific
evidence
for
the
new
to
limit
global
warming,
increases
to
1.5
degrees.
With
councils
declaration
of
a
climate
emergency
staff
were
directed
to
take
action
to
both
reduce
emissions,
our
contribution
to
climate
change
and
prepare
for
changing
climate
conditions
or
reduce
the
impacts
of
climate
change
on
Ottawa
next
slide.
C
F
Okay,
so
we're
on
the
next
slide.
Please
Council
approves
a
climate
change
master
plan
in
January
2020.
This
plan
provides
the
overarching
framework
the
guys
how
Ottawa
will
both
mitigate
and
adapt
to
climate
change
over
the
coming
decades.
Mitigation
refers
to
the
need
to
reduce
energy
consumption
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
Adaptation
refers
to
the
need
to
adapt
to
changing
climate
today
and
to
build
resiliency
for
the
future.
The
majority
of
the
city's
work
to
date
has
been
on
the
mitigation
side.
F
We've
completed
community
and
corporate
greenhouse
gas
inventories,
set
greenhouse
gas
reduction
targets
and
are
developing
energy
evolution.
The
strategy
and
action
plan
for
how
they
achieve
these
targets.
The
climate
projection
study
is
the
first
milestone
in
developing
a
climate
resiliency
strategy.
This
strategy
will
assess
where
Ottawa
is
vulnerable
to
the
impacts
of
climate
change
and
identify
actions
to
build
resiliency
to
the
greatest
climate
rests
next
slide.
F
Over
the
past
decades,
Ottawa
has
been
experiencing
warmer
wetter
and
more
unpredictable
weather.
Average
temperature
has
risen
by
1.3
degrees,
since
the
1940s
precipitation
has
also
increased
with
great
year-to-year
variability
in
the
last
decade.
The
city
has
also
experienced
a
range
of
weather
extremes
so,
for
example,
the
Rideau
Canal
had
both
its
longest
and
its
shortest
openings.
F
2017
was
our
wettest
spring
on
record,
with
severe
flooding
along
the
Ottawa
River,
which
occurred
again
in
nineteen
twenty
nineteen
in
2018.
There
were
six
continuous
days
of
extreme
heat
around
Canada
day
and,
of
course,
the
tornados
in
2018
and
2019
the
cost
extensive
damage
and
power
outages.
The
climate
science
tells
us
that
these
trends
will
continue
next
slide,
please.
F
So
why
did
we
complete
this
study?
Although
national
and
regional
data
is
increasingly
available,
we
wanted
a
comprehensive
set
of
local
data
to
support
climate
adaptation
planning
in
the
region
having
a
consistent
set
of
local
data
saves
costs
and
time.
We
sought
advice
from
climate
experts
on
what
information
was
needed
and
how
to
understand
and
manage
data
uncertainty,
and
we
wanted
a
report
that
would
be
useful
to
a
wide
range
of
users
and
sectors.
Despite
pleas,
the
study
was
conducted
as
a
partnership
with
the
National
Capital
Commission.
F
Together,
we
commissioned
climate
scientists
at
CBC,
L
limited
to
undertake
this
study,
and
we
were
fortunate
to
have
the
technical
advice
throughout
the
project
from
the
Canadian
Centre
for
climate
services
at
environment
and
climate
change.
Canada
staff
from
many
departments
of
the
city
and
NCC
were
involved
as
well
as
Gatineau
in
the
conservation
authorities,
so
we
would
develop
a
report
that
would
meet
diverse
needs
next
slide.
F
This
study
uses
the
most
up-to-date
climate
science
and
modeling
tools
available
in
Canada.
It
provides
a
comprehensive
analysis
of
changes
in
temperature,
precipitation,
wind,
humidity
and
extreme
events
for
time
horizons
were
selected.
We
compared
baseline
conditions
with
the
2030s
2050
s
and
20
80s
to
cover
a
range
of
planning
timeframes.
The
study
also
uses
two
emission
scenarios
that
are
based
on
the
Intergovernmental
Panel
on
Climate
Change
or
the
IPCC.
F
The
study
used
a
combination
of
methodologies,
global
and
regional
climate
models
for
downscale
to
assess
local
changes
in
temperature,
precipitation
link
and
humidity,
and
scientific
studies
were
used
to
examine
future
trends
and
extreme
events,
since
these
are
not
well
captured
by
models
next
slide,
we
now
have
detailed
analysis
of
future
climate
conditions
to
2100.
These
projections
give
us
a
clearer
understanding
of
how
Ottawa's
weather
will
change
in
the
coming
decades.
This
slide
includes
a
simplified
summary
of
the
projections
for
the
high
emission
scenario.
F
Overall,
the
national
capital
region
will
become
warmer
and
wetter
and
I'll
highlight
some
examples
from
the
projections
for
the
2050s
warming
is
anticipated
across
all
seasons.
Summers
will
be
much
hotter
and,
for
example,
by
the
2050s
there
will
be
four
times
as
many
very
hot
days
or
days
above
30
degrees.
This
means
an
increase
from
11
days
per
year
to
44
days
per
year.
The
timing
of
seasons
will
shift.
F
The
total
amount
of
precipitation
is
anticipated
to
increase
in
all
seasons,
except
summer.
Rainfall
is
expected
to
increase
both
in
volume
and
intensity.
One
measure
of
intense
precipitation
is
the
maximum
amount
of
rain
that
will
fall
in
one
day,
and
this
is
projected
to
increased
by
14%
by
the
2050s.
F
Conversely,
there
will
be
less
snowfall
by
the
2050s
total
annual
snowfall
will
decrease
by
20%
and
finally,
while
the
uncertainty
is
greater
for
rejecting
extreme
events,
future
conditions
favour
and
increase
in
extreme
weather,
such
as
freezing
rain
tornadoes,
storms
or
droughts.
Next
slide,
please.
F
So
what
does
this
mean
for
Ottawa?
This
study
did
not
examine
specific
risks
and
vulnerabilities,
as
this
will
occur
in
the
next
phase
of
the
project.
However,
potential
impacts
are
generally
well.
Not
so
Ottawa
could
see
more
heat
waves
and
here
illnesses
longer
warmer
seasons
that
extend
agricultural
and
construction,
but
also
impact
ecosystems
and
increase
the
risks
for
Lyme
disease,
West,
Nile
virus
or
invasive
species.
F
We
could
see
shorter
warmer
winters
with
less
snow
and
more
freeze,
thaw
cycles,
that
impact
winter
recreation
and
damaged
roads
and
other
infrastructure
and
we'll
see
shifting
energy
demands
with
lower
heating
requirements
in
the
winter
and
higher
cooling
demands
in
the
summer
next
slide.
Please,
the
greater
likelihood
of
extreme
weather
such
as
wind,
bursts,
freezing
rains
or
storm
has
broad
impacts
on
people,
infrastructure
and
services.
More
intense
precipitation
can
overwhelm
our
sewer
systems
and
increase
the
risks
of
flooding
and
erosion.
F
An
infrastructure
and
buildings
will
need
to
be
built
to
resist
warmer
temperatures,
more
precipitation
and
stronger
winds
next
slide.
Please
the
report
to
present
it
today
completes
the
first
step
in
a
three-step
process
to
develop
a
climate
resiliency
strategy.
We
will
use
the
climate
projections
to
understand
where
we
are
vulnerable
and
identify
ways
to
reduce
risks.
F
This
includes
examining
our
current
adaptation
measures
to
see
if
they
are
adequate,
will
work
with
all
departments
and
external
stakeholders
to
examine
impacts
on
communities,
infrastructure,
the
economy
and
the
natural
environment,
and
this
work
will
start
in
2020,
as
mentioned
in
the
previous
slide.
The
vulnerability
assessment
includes
examining
whether
our
existing
an
adaptation
measures
are
adequate
in
light
of
new
climate
projections.
The
city
already
has
many
measures
in
place
to
reduce
risks
and
adopt
to
climate
change.
F
So
this
slide
highlights
a
few
of
those
examples,
so
Public
Health
and
emergency
preparedness
and
in
particular,
for
support
to
vulnerable
populations.
We
have
updated
flood
plain
mapping
done
in
concert
with
the
conservation
authorities
to
support
our
flood
risk
management.
The
urban
forest
management
plan
that
protects
our
tree
canopy,
the
combined
sewage
storage
tunnel
that
will
reduce
combined
sewer
overflows
and
upgrades
to
row
peck,
so
we
can
operate
independently
of
the
power
grid
during
an
extended
power
outage.
F
F
While
the
overall
vulnerability
assessment
is
being
completed,
the
climate
projections
will
also
be
considered
in
plans
and
programs
that
are
currently
under
review
or
under
development.
So,
for
example,
the
climate
projections
are
being
used
in
the
development
of
the
Official
Plan
and
the
supporting
master
plans
for
infrastructure
transportation,
green
space
and
parks.
They
will
be
used
for
the
development
of
asset
management
plans
on
an
infrastructure,
design,
standards
and
they'll
be
used
for
the
review
of
winter
maintenance,
maintenance
standards
and
practices
next
slide.
Please.
F
One
more
please
Chris.
Thank
you.
Our
intent
is
to
share
the
report
widely
to
encourage
understanding
and
use.
The
report
was
made
available
on
Monday
June
8
on
both
the
city
and
NCC
websites.
It
was
featured
in
several
online
and
radio
media
outlets
as
a
result
of
a
joint
news
release,
it's
also
being
promoted
through
social
media
by
the
city,
Ottawa,
Public,
Health
and
NCC
channels,
and
shared
through
the
city's
Climate
Change
enewsletter,
which
has
more
than
3,000
subscribers.
F
We
will
continue
to
engage
staff,
stakeholders
and
residents
during
the
vulnerability
assessment
and
development
of
the
climate.
Resiliency
strategy
slide
please.
So
in
closing.
The
climate
projection
study
is
an
important
milestone
to
support
efforts
across
Ottawa
and
indeed
the
National
Capital
Region,
to
understand
how
climate
change
will
impact
the
region
and
put
in
place
measures
to
reduce
climate
risks
and
build
resiliency
for
the
future.
Work
will
now
begin
on
the
vulnerability
assessment
and
the
climate
resiliency
strategy
and
action
plan
will
be
developed
once
the
vulnerability
assessment
is
completed.
F
B
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
it
thanks
that
presentation.
Yes,
so
obviously
this
is
an
important
piece
as
we
lead
into
work
to
prepare
for
the
climate
resiliency
strategy,
folder
the
city
of
Ottawa,
going
forward
so
I,
don't
believe
just
confirming
that
with
Chris
I,
don't
believe
we
have
any
speakers
registered
on
this
matter.
That
is
correct.
Mr.
chair
all
right,
so
if
you'd
like
to
ask
questions,
you
can
use
the
raise
hand,
function.
B
C
You
mr.
chair
Thank
You,
vice
chairman,
our
I
just
have
a
few
questions.
First
of
all,
thank
you
to
staff.
It's
a
one
of
the
more
comprehensive
reports,
I've
seen,
and
certainly
no
shortage
of
data
to
feed
into
your
report.
I
won't
be
here
in
2100,
so
I
won't
see
the
end
result
of
all
the
work
that
you've
done,
but
certainly
appreciate
the
different
points
in
time
that
you've
you've
spelt
out
like
I,
said
just
a
few
questions.
One
of
the
vulnerability
assessments
that
you're
going
to
do
is
on
the
physical
infrastructure.
C
F
So
we
have
been
working
with
many
external
stakeholders,
as
we've
been
developing
this
project,
including
in
particular,
to
see
where
they
are
in
their
respective
work.
So
hydro,
Ottawa
is
also
in
the
process
of
doing
a
vulnerability
assessment
and
determining
an
adaptation
plan,
and
we
will
continue
to
coordinate
and
work
closely
with
them
to
align
our
efforts.
Well,.
C
F
C
Everyone
will
agree
the
importance
of
doing
a
boner
ability
assessment.
You
can't
map
out
the
next
number
of
decades
without
understanding
the
types
of
risks
that
were
under
I
want
to
know
whether
there
is
going
to
be
an
assessment
of
opportunities
because
of
climate
change
and
I'm,
not
saying
that
because
I
embrace
climate
change.
But
when
you
look
at
the
extension
of
you
know
agricultural
periods,
if
the
temperature's
going
to
be
warmer,
then
maybe
there's
going
to
be
a
reduced
dependence
on
fossil
fuels
to
heat
our
homes
and
buildings.
C
F
Yes,
we
will
look
at
both
opportunities
and
we
will
look
at
both
the
positive
and
the
negative
side
of
impact,
so
opportunities
as
well
and,
as
you
point
out,
opportunities
in
terms
of
the
economy
or
one
area
that
we
will
be
looking
at
and
I
think.
This
also
reinforces
the
importance
of
working
in
partnership
with
the
community
and
with
external
stakeholders,
and
one
of
the
reasons
we
wanted
to
make
this
report
available
right
now
with
so
that
external
partners
can
start
using
this
information
for
their
own
assessments.
F
C
Last
question
and
I:
don't
know
if
you
can
answer
this
now
or
whether
the
additional
reports
will
answer
this,
but
I
want
to
know
whether
the
city
of
Ottawa
is
more
at
risk
less
at
risk
or
about
the
same
compared
to
other
Canadian
cities
our
size.
Are
you
going
to
be
able
to
make
a
conclusion
based
on
that.
F
Part
of
the
vulnerability
assessment
we'll
be
looking
at
other
cities
and
the
risk
assessments
they
have
done
and
the
strategies
that
they
are
using.
So
we
will
definitely
be
looking
at
other
comparable
cities
and
particularly
those
that
share
similar
climate
regions.
As
part
of
that
assessment,
where.
C
F
Other
cities
across
Canada
have
already
completed
vulnerability,
assessments
and
adaptation
plans.
I
think
Ottawa's
approach
has
been
a
bit
different
in
that,
as
I
was
highlighting
in
the
presentation.
There
are
many
initiatives
underway
where
risk
assessments
include
looking
at
climate
risks
as
well,
and
the
purposes
of
the
vulnerability
assessment
that
we'll
be
doing
now
will
be
to
take
a
look
at
the
existing
measures,
see
if
they're
adequate
and
identify
additional
gaps.
Ok,.
D
Very
much
thank
you
very
much
chair
and
thank
you
for
the
report.
It's
a
it's
a
very
important.
One
really
underscores
the
need
for
us
to
to
take
action.
There
are
three
phases
in
building
climate
resiliency
that
you've
outlined.
The
first
is
the
future
climate
conditions,
which
is
this
report.
The
second
is
the
assessing
risks
and
vulnerabilities,
and
the
third
is
of
the
resiliency
strategy
and
action
plan
to
address
the
key
risks:
I'm
just
wondering
in
terms
of
phase
2
and
phase
3.
What?
F
So
the
vulnerability
assessment
will
start
immediately.
We're
scoping
out
the
methodology
for
that
and
the
intent
is
to
start
that
now
to
have
that
completed
likely
in
in
early
in
2021
and
then
move
that
into
the
development
of
the
strategy.
We
are.
We
don't
have
specific
timelines
at
this
point,
because
we
are
still
scoping
out
how
that
will
be
done,
how
we're
going
to
work
with
external
partners,
the
level
of
assessment
in
terms
of
vulnerability,
but
also
risk
assessments.
D
B
D
Of
the
top
one
that
comes
out
every
single
time
is
around
around
flooding.
Is
that
still
your
sort
of
assessment
going
into
this
I
know
we're
going
to
do
a
full
assessment?
But
is
it
still,
your
assessment
that
flooding
is
is?
Is
the
number
one
risk
associated
with
the
changing
climate
for
the
City
of
Ottawa,
or
are
there
other
pieces
that,
just
from
a
top
level
you're
seeing.
F
G
G
The
second
is
extreme
heat
in
the
summer
and
there
is
a
community
social
impact
of
extreme
heat,
and
the
third
is
invasive
species
that
might
come
as
a
result
of
the
climate
changes
as
well
of
being
the
top
three
to
pay
attention
to
and
the
effect
all
those
three
affect
virtually
every
city
operations
some
way
or
another.
Okay,.
D
D
Fcm
has
estimated
that
there
needs
to
be
an
annual
investment
of
national
GDP
of
you
know,
point
at
least
0.26
percent
of
national
GDP
required
to
be
cost
shared
by
the
all
orders
of
government
and
that
they're
saying
that
those
financial
requirements
are
needed
to
implement
cities,
action
plans
and
take.
You
know,
take
into
consideration
these
risk
assessments
and
identify
future
budgets,
and
so
you
know
on
this
on
that
point.
D
G
D
Because
my
understanding
is
that
it
forms
about
90%
of
the
implementation
budget
of
the
climate
change
master
plan
and
really
essential
for
delivering
results.
This
this
term
do
staff,
have
any
intent
of
repurposing
that
funding
or
is
the
current
projection,
to
keep
that
funding
intact
for
the
purpose
that
we
had
set
out
very
early
in
the
term
to
fund
the
climate
change
master
plan
and
energy
evolution
I'm.
G
Sorry,
counselor
I,
don't
have
an
answer
to
that
question
as,
as
you
know,
the
treasurer
is
in
the
process
of
reviewing
all
city
finances
and
all
levels
and
all
departments,
and
that
question
is
best
directed
to
the
treasurer
when
she
reports
to
Council
on
the
financial
situation.
So
I
just
don't
have
the
answer
and
I
can't
I
can't
give
you
an
answer
today.
Okay,.
D
Five
year
returns
back
to
the
city,
and
so
I
wouldn't
want
to
see
a
repurposing
of
the
hydro
Ottawa
dividend
surplus
because
of
the
potential
that
it
brings
in
versus
other
funds
that
don't
have
that
potential
to
offset
our
costs
or
to
find
matching
funding.
So
I
think
if
there's
there's
gonna
be
something
brought
forward.
It
shouldn't
come
from
this
pot.
If
it
did
come
from
this
pot,
it
should
be
very,
very
minor
amount
that
would
that
would
come
out
of
it
and-
and
you
know,
certainly
not
from
what
I'm
hearing
around
two-million
shouldn't
be.
D
You
know
chipping
away
at
that.
It's
important
I
think
that
we
recognize
the
need
for
repetitive.
You
know
that
you
know
going
forward
how
much
funding
is
there
to
be
able
to
implement
this?
If
you
have
something
where
you're
saying
here's
our
plan,
but
where
we're
gonna
have
this
amount
of
funding
that
it's
going
to
go
down,
it
may
go
back
up
again.
It's
not
consistent.
D
It's
very
hard
to
plan
that
way
when
you
don't
have
a
consistency
of
funding,
and
so
in
this
case,
given
the
massive
challenges
in
front
of
us,
you
know
that
dividend
surplus
is
still
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket
of
what's
needed
in
the
investment
that
can
again
bring
us
returns,
so
just
to
underscore
the
importance
of
that
moving
forward
for
the
climate
change
master
plan
and
our
energy
evolution
plan.
When
that
comes
forward
thanks,
Jay.
E
B
You
very
much
Scout,
sir
I
know
that
some
we
do
have
the
treasurer's
office
on
call
today
miss
Steffensen
s
year,
so
I
imagined
that
she
did
hear
your
points
to
that.
I
think
it's
important,
because
you
look
back
to
last
term
of
counsel,
and
certainly
there
was
some
work
involved
from
counsel
arregla
and
myself
to
look
at
not
does
not
the
dividend
itself.
B
Why
so
we'll
certainly
have
to
keep
an
eye
on
that
as
to
how
we
move
forward
and,
ideally,
that
funding
comes
to
where
council
attended
to,
because
if
we
don't
get
it
now,
then
we're
just
looking
for
later
and
the
sooner
we
move
forward
on
some
of
these
projects,
the
better
off
that
we
will
be
in
the
long
term.
So
thank
you.
Councilmen
our
councilor
cliche
you're
next
Thank.
H
You
chair
and
thank
you,
Miss
Robinson,
for
your
for
your
presentation
and
for
the
report
on
the
climate
projections
for
Ottawa
they're,
truly
staggering
for
the
ecology
for
agriculture,
the
economy
and
there's
not
a
lot
of
mentions
of
dollars
and
cents,
which
is
not
really
what
the
report
is
about,
but
is
a
very
real
concern
for
people
and
I.
Appreciate
the
questions
by
councillor
Brockington
with
respect
to
the
the
overall
infrastructure
hydro
and
mentions
a
bit
about
how
weather
extremes
will
have
an
impact
on
properties.
F
At
this
stage,
in
the
assessment
of
the
project,
we
don't
have
information
on
financial
impacts
for
individual
residents,
but
I
think
we've
all
seen
through
the
examples
over
the
last
decades,
how
costly
it
can
be
for
residents
when
they
are
impacted,
particularly
by
extreme
events.
So
that
will
be
one
of
the
considerations
that
we'll
be
looking
at
as
we're
moving
forward
in
the
vulnerability
assessment
as
we're
looking
at
costs
of
initiatives,
but
also
the
potential
cost
savings
that
can
come
by
taking
preventative
measures
to
protect
the
community.
F
So
there
are
updates
being
done
to
both
the
national
and
then
the
provincial
building
codes
that
are
looking
exactly
at
how
we
build
resiliency
in
our
buildings
to
climate
change.
So
the
benefit
of
the
approach
of
the
vulnerability
assessment
and
the
strategy
within
the
city
is
that
we
will
work
closely
with
departments
all
the
way
through
the
city,
and
they
are
the
staff
that
are
then
having
those
conversations
and
working
closely
but
they're,
either
other
municipal
or
provincial
or
federal
counterparts.
Okay,.
F
B
E
Thank
You,
chair
I
just
have
a
comment
and
and
and
one
question
much
what
many
of
us
were
considering
I
think
has
already
been
been
raised
by
by
our
colleagues,
but
the
comment
I'm
gonna
make
is
on.
You
know,
ongoing
client.
You
know
funding
that
will
lead
us
in
the
right
direction
here
and
I
know
that
we're
in
a
difficult
time
right
now
and
the
entire
world
has
been
thrown
into
a
state
of
downturn.
But
you
know
in
this
city
and
cities
pretty
much
across
North
America.
E
At
least
we
do
have
two
emergencies
and
that's
climate
emergency
and
a
housing
emergency,
and
the
reason
we're
in
those
two
emergencies
is
because
governments,
successive
governments
over
the
last
several
decades
have
not
invested
in
either
at
a
rate
that
that
was
required
to
keep
us
from
getting
to
where
we
are
today
and
and
it's
you
know.
My
colleagues
have
pointed
out
some
of
the
you
know
when
we're
looking
at
the
scenarios
for
temperature
and
changing
seasons
precipitation
going
forward
it
is.
It
is
really
rather
alarming.
E
We
can
pay
now
where
we
can
pay
later,
but
we
are
gonna
pay,
so
we
can
pay
some
now
or
a
lot
later
similar
to
housing,
though
that's
why
we're
in
the
emergencies
that
that
were
in
today's
I
just
wanted
to
to
make
that
comment
to
be
on
record.
That
I
expect
that
we
will
continue
to
move
forward
with
our
plans
in
a
way
that
that
at
least
reduces
and
our
risk
and
increases
our
resilience
going
forward
and
just
a
question
to
Julia
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
to
understand.
E
The
the
phasing,
the
timing
of
the
phasing
and
how
it
aligns
with
some
of
the
most
important
work,
we're
doing
also
this
this
term
that
the
official
plan,
the
master
plans
for
infrastructure
transportation.
We
know
that
that
has
significant
impacts
on
climate
and
on
our
resilience,
any
strategies
for
resilience.
So
I.
Just
wonder
how
you
see
that
phase
to
it
especially
phase
3,
aligning
on
time
to
inform
our
decisions
on
the
Official
Plan
and
also
in
very
much,
in
particular,
the
transportation
master
plan,
and
me.
F
The
timing
is
very
much
aligned
with
making
sure
that
we
are
feeding
in
this
information
to
inform
these
very
key
reports
that
you're,
referring
to
so
climate
resiliency
is
one
of
the
key
themes
that
is
already
being
considered
as
part
of
the
official
plan.
It's
in
our
are
approved
preliminary
policy
directions
and
there
are
policies
being
developed
right
now
that
taking
consideration
these
objections
and,
as
you
mentioned,
the
supporting
master
plans
and
a
particular
the
infrastructure
and
the
transportation
master
plans
will
be
key
in
terms
of
prioritizing
which
infrastructure
projects
are
going
forward.
F
So
as
part
of
this
initiative
and
by
working
closely
with
staff
from
all
departments,
both
in
terms
of
generating
the
right
information
in
this
report,
so
that
they
would
have
that
information
for
the
assessments
they
are
doing.
So
we
are
working
very
closely
through
an
internal
working
group
to
make
sure
that
these
projections
are
being
considered
and
embedded
in
the
development
of
those
master
plans
and
an
other
critical
corporate
plans.
Moving
forward
in
the
next
number
of
views.
Okay,.
E
F
Approach
that
we're
taking
with
our
vulnerability
and
risk
assessments
is
in
addition
to
that
citywide
one
that
will
identify
gaps,
we're
embedding
it
in
all
of
the
opportunities
that
we
have
across
City
Business.
So
again
that
allows
us
to
undertake
a
vulnerability
assessment
at
that
high
overarching
level,
but
also
do
the
detailed
risk
assessments
where
appropriate,
through
ongoing
city
plans
and
programs.
Okay,.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
and
now
we
will
go
to
councillor
King,
which
in
case
I
had
a
conversation
with
councillor
King
a
few
weeks
ago,
when
we
were
on
our
automatic
housing
board
meeting
and
if
you're
wondering
what
that
background
is.
That
is
a
massive
record
collection
and
as
soon
as
the
provincial
government
allows
us
to
gather
in
groupings
of
up
to
24,
he
is
inviting
every
single
member
of
council
to
listen
to
every
single
gas.
A
Duchaine
well,
thank
you.
My
teacher
I'm,
looking
forward
to
us
moving
forward
with
these
stages
of
reopening,
so
that
I
can
invite
people,
because
I
get
questions
all
the
time
about.
What's
behind
me
and
and
I
have
some
turntables
as
well
over
to
the
side
that
that
are
I.
Unfortunately,
don't
get
a
lot
of
time
to
to
utilize.
I
think
that
this
is
the
this
is
the
high
irony
once
you
can
afford
a
few
of
these.
A
G
So
councillor,
that
point
is
extremely
well
taken
and
I
think
this
was
a
point
raised
by
one
of
the
earlier
councillors
and
I
apologize.
I
can't
name
the
name,
but
we
certainly
are
looking
at
the
opportunities
in
Ottawa
related
to
agriculture,
because
what
we
are
seeing
is
that
in
Ottawa,
unlike
some
other
areas
where
access
to
water
will
still
be
good,
the
heat
range
is
still
manageable.
G
There
actually
we're
seeing
international
interest
in
agriculture
in
the
Ottawa
area
as
being
one
of
the
areas
that
probably
over
the
long
run,
will
be
one
of
the
more
stable
places.
So
we're
actually
quite
fortunate,
unlike
other
parts
of
Canada,
and
that's
why,
as
an
economic
and
development
initiative,
we
and
as
part
of
the
rural
economic
development
strategy,
we've
been
looking
at
the
use
of
new
technology
in
agricultural
practices
as
part
of
this
as
well.
But
we
are
tracking
the
issue.
It's
it's
not
a
completely
clear
path.
G
There
are
risks
associated
with
the
extreme
heats
elements
of
it,
and
so
the
work
will
continue
to
look
at
this.
But
as
we
talked
earlier,
I
think
it
was
counseling
rocking
tuna
might've
raised
the
question
of
opportunities.
This
is
actually
an
area
where
the
news
may
be,
maybe
in
the
Ottawa
context
alone,
one
of
the
better
parts
of
the
story,
but
we
have
our
other
challenges
which
we're
very
focused
on
as
well.
A
Ok,
thank
you
for
that.
I
am
still
concerned
about
the
potential
negative
risks
to
to
the
agricultural
lands
and
the
impacts
that
climate
change
might
have,
whether
it
is
due
to
the
other
primary
risks
that
were
that
we're
facing,
such
as
flooding
impacts
to
water
sources
and
also
just
the
impact
on
a
grow
ability,
the
the
the
negative
impact
of
climate
change
on
the
agricultural
lands.
So
we
can
see
that
reflected
at
least
in
in
or
risk
assessments
it
would
be.
It
would
be
much
appreciated
and.
G
B
B
You
know
positive
a
positive
contribution
to
our
future
discussions
that
we
will
be
having
on
this
matter
so
fast
before
the
the
item
of
the
Standing
Committee
on
Environment,
Protection,
water
and
waste
management's
recommend
that
council
received
the
reports
on
the
climate
projections
for
the
National
Capital
Region,
as
summarized
in
this
report
and
attached
as
document
one
is
that
item
received.
Let's
see
if
received.
Thank
you
so
much
now
we
go
to
the
added
item,
which
is
item
number
three
I
do
just
want
to.
B
Implementation
for
our
tree
by
log
we
had,
we
had
done
some
improvements
staff
and
worked
heavily
on
some
improvements,
working
with
a
number
of
stakeholders
on
this
on
this
file
through
2019
and
came
forward
with
a
plan
for
exploitation.
That
implantation
day
was
to
be
made
first,
twenty
twenty,
and
due
to
obvious
reasons,
we
ended
up
having
to
to
delay
that
there
was
some
some
there
was
a
plan
to
hire
staff
to
train
staff
and
and
clearly
with
the
situation
before
us
in
March
and
April.
B
Knowing
that
this
was
a
commitment
of
council,
certainly
for
this
term
of
Council,
to
get
this
to
get
this
moving,
so
I
do
have
a
little
first.
I
have
Martha
Koch
stake
here,
but
before
I
just
will
ask
councillor
McCanney
to
completely
introduce
your
motion,
so
read
the
full,
the
full
motion,
so
that
we
understand
the
background
and
what
the
resolution
is
here
today.
E
Yeah
Thank
You,
chair
I,
think
it's
coming
up
in
front
of
you.
I
can
go
ahead
and
start
reading
it
because
I
had
a
frenemy
to
where,
as
the
city's
urban
forest
management
plan
approved
by
Council
on
June,
28th
2017
was
established
to
provide
a
structured
approach
to
protecting
and
enhancing
the
environmental,
social
and
economical
services
provided
by
the
urban
forest
and
to
ensure
that
it
is
healthy
and
robust
into
the
future.
E
That
includes
a
planned,
phased
approach
from
implementation
and
whereas
phase
one
of
the
new
tree
protection
by
law
aimed
at
improving
tree
protection
requirements,
formalizing
compensation
requirements,
improving
submission
requirements,
increasing
application
fees
to
offset
implementation
costs
and
instituting
a
new
special
fine,
special
fine,
designed
to
eliminate
or
reduce
any
economic
or
financial
gain
from
contravening
the
bylaw
was
to
come
into
effect.
On
May
1st
2020.
E
That
is
the
urban
areas
within
the
Greenbelt
originally
to
be
contemplated
as
part
of
phase
2
and
whereas,
despite
the
devastating
impacts
of
code
19,
the
protection
of
trees
remains
a
priority
for
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
its
residents
and
susat.
Aiding
continuance
of
work
on
the
tree
by
Law
Review
to
align
as
closely
as
possible,
with
the
original
timelines
presented
to
Council
in
January.
2020.
E
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
council
direct
staff
to
amend
the
new
tree
protection
by
law
to
come
into
force
and
take
effect
on
January
1st
2021
and
to
reduce
the
size
of
a
distinctive
tree
from
50
centimeters
to
30
centimeters
in
diameter,
at
breast
height
in
the
new
bylaw,
and
be
it
for
the
result
that
council,
director
general
managers
of
planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
and
Public
Works
and
environmental
services.
The
higher
up
to
for
temporary
resources,
3
in
3
in
Public,
Works
and
1
in
in
planning
infrastructure.
E
Economic
development
required
to
implement
annex
o
the
accelerated
distinctive
tree
provisions
outlined
above
using
vacant
positions.
Until
such
time
as
permanent
resources
can
be
established
in
a
future
budget.
Using
increased
permit
fee
revenue
and
increased
development
fee
revenues
to
result
in
a
net
zero
budget
impact.
B
Thank
you
very
much
for
that.
So
I
will
now
ask
Martha
Coakley
how
many
you
will
all
know
that
Martha
has
been
the
key
lead
on
this
on
this
file
for
her
work
with
the
tree
canopy
reports
leading
into
to
this
as
well
that
we
dealt
with
in
2019,
so
I'll
ask
Martha
a
quick
overview
of
of
where
things
stand
and
what
this,
what
this
means
in
terms
of
the
original
light.
I
Hi,
thank
you.
Cheering
Thank,
You
councillor,
McKinney,
I'm,
Chris
I
will
put
that
slide
that
I
had
up.
Could
you
put
that
up
for
me
now?
Thank
you
all
right.
So
that
motion
did
go
through
a
lot
of
detail.
It
was
a
very
detailed
motion,
so
they
don't
have
much
background,
I
think
other
than
that
I
prepared
this
slide
to
just
show
basically
like
from
a
timeline
perspective.
What
we're
looking
at
here
I
should
say
off
the
bat
that
staff
do
support
this
motion.
I
Basically,
we
adjusted
to
implementing
the
first
phase
in
November
and
and
then
coming
forward,
basically
keeping
with
those
two
phase
things
because
of
our
resource
requirements,
so
coming
forward
next
September,
so
quite
a
delay
with
phase
2
and
that's
when
the
30
centimeters
thing
would
happen
for
implementation
in
January
2022.
So
then,
and
the
third
column,
you
see
the
motion,
that's
being
discussed
today
and
you
can
see
that
essentially
what
it
does
is.
I
It
brings
us
in
line
with
our
original
timing,
which
we
think
is
good,
because
all
of
the
things
that
we
discussed
at
this
committee
in
December
regarding
trees,
Ivory's
all
the
issues,
all
the
challenges
still
stand
today.
So
the
fact
that
we
can
have
the
potential
to
bring
our
timeline
in
line
with
what
we
had
originally
planned
is
definitely
something
that's
that
staff
support.
The
only
sort
of
outstanding
item
is
that
excuse
me.
I
There's
this
one
item
the
permit
to
work
around
trees,
which
was
a
to
be
a
part
of
phase
two
which
we
will
not
like.
We
haven't
included
in
this
motion,
there's
still
some
things
that
staff
have
to
flush
out
around
that
there's
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
still
needs
to
be
doing
to
be
done
on
that
there's.
Also
it's
a
bit
more
resource
intensive
as
well.
I
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
that.
Martha
appreciates
your
willingness
to
work
on
this.
Knowing
that
you
know,
obviously,
we
weren't
in
an
ideal
situation,
but
ultimately,
council
was
interested
in
getting
to
to
an
EM
come
on
this
and
finding
a
way
to
get
there
really
with
a
cost
recovery
model.
Getting
to
that
same
that
same
outcome
at
same
time
line
essentially
aside
from
the
one
don't
want
them.
You
mentioned
there
at
the
end.
So
just
for
some
questions
we
have
accounts
or
Brockington
is
up.
First.
C
B
So
staffs
plan
would
have
been
to
come
back
to
us
in
the
fall
so
with
with
reports
on
implementing
schedule.
So
it
was,
it
was
the
implementation,
so
council
approved,
approved
policy
back
in
or
a
report
back
in
January
would
have
had
the
implementation
of
phase
one
come
in
May,
first
and
then
more
another
report
coming
back
to
this
committee
in
the
fall
with
the
implication
of
phase
two
January
1st.
B
So
what
this
does
is
it
kind
of
couples,
phase
1
and
phase
2
into
1
into
one
implementation
on
January
1st,
so
we
didn't
provide
this
direction
to
do
it.
This
way.
This
is
just
looking
at
how
we
could
achieve
the
same
goals,
but
in
a
different
manner
and
staff
did
not
have
the
authority
to
do
that
without.
B
B
J
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
more
of
a
thank
you
comment
than
than
anything,
because
this
is
really
important
too,
for
all
the
projects
that
are
ended
up
coming
in
to
Bay
ward
I
was
quite
concerned
when
we
have
a
delay
and
I
appreciate
the
work
that
councillor
McKinney
has
put
into
it
and
and
and
Martha
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
really
important.
These
developments
are
not
stopping
and
waiting
for
four
hour
delay.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
effort
on
this,
because
it
will
make
a
difference.
B
E
Thank
You
chair
and
thanks
to
my
colleagues
for
supporting
this
it
does
that
the
end
result
is
the
same.
We
we
did
have
the
discussion
around.
What
our
tree
are.
Distinctive
tree
permits
should
look
like
what
those
what
those
parameters
should
look
like
and
what
types
of
trees
we
we
need
to
be
saving
in
our
urban
environment.
E
This
does
move
it
forward
from
post
kovat
as
a
result
of
KO
bid,
but
but
the
outcome
is
the
same,
but
I
mean
I
think
that
I
always
have
to
emphasize
that
a
loss
of
one
tree
in
in
an
urban
area
is,
it
can
be
devastating
and
it
changes
a
neighborhood.
It
changes
a
street
it.
It
has
a
significant
impact
on
the
health
and
well-being
of
the
neighborhood
for
on
a
variety
of
issues:
cooling,
the
the
street
traffic
calming
aesthetics.
E
It's
you
know,
cleaning
the
air
that
every
tree
is
is
absolutely
essential
and
I
know
that
I
want
to
thank
staff,
Martha
and
and
and
staff
for
working
on
this
I
think
sometimes
I
probably
have
a
bit
of
a
reputation
as
a
crazy
tree
person.
But
it's
you
know
we
we
need.
We
need
to
be
able
to
breathe,
and
you
know
we
sometimes
trees
to
build
bike
lanes
and
there's
always
that
that
that
tension
between
the
two
and
you
know
and
I
tell
people
as
much
as
I
like
cycling
lanes.
E
E
So
so
this
will
go
a
long
way
to
keeping
our
urban
tree
canopy
healthy
and
and
allowing
us
to
move
forward
to
build
it
up.
The
way
that
we
want
to
the
way
that
we've
been
committed
to
so
so
Thank
You
colleagues,
Thank
You,
chair
and
staff.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
working
on
this
I
know
it
took
a
lot
of
iterations.
We've
been
at
it
for
a
little
while,
but
it's
very
much
appreciated
across
the
sector.
Thank
you
and.

Miscible
drinking
water
systems,
20
number
reports,
so
on
that
one
we
almost
always
have
a
report
where
we
have
100
percent
across
the
board
one
on
one,
but
one
thing
one
place:
it
was
ninety
nine
point
three
percent
because
of
a
bookkeeping
matter
on
line
is
the
water
is
still
incredible
in
Ottawa
and
we're
all
very
fortunate.
Of
course,
I
don't
drink
it
because
I
drink
whatever
comes
out
of
my
life,
such
as
life
in
real
Ottawa
item
C,
is
our
solid
waste
matter.
Guru
has
a
question:
oh
yeah
sure
can
surgeries
by
all
means.
B
K
K
Perfect
Tammy,
thank
you
very
much.
I
know
I've
seen
the
numbers
and
I
really
appreciate
the
I
had
a
briefing
yesterday
morning
or
concerning,
but
it
looked
like
it
looked
like
the
numbers
are
very
good
they're
like
they're,
balancing
they're,
not
very
good
I,
think
they
are.
Are
we
the
highest
level
of
nitrate
in
all
the
communal,
all
the
city-owned
right
now,
let
me
see.
I
K
I
So
between
three
and
four
would
be
a
good
average
and,
as
you
noted,
we
are
seeing
a
bit
of
a
leveling
off
trend,
but
a
bit
too
soon
to
confirm
if
that'll
continue
to
be
the
case.
So
in
an
abundance
of
caution,
we
are
still
moving
ahead
with
the
drilling
of
new
wells,
so
we'd
be
going
deeper
into
the
aquifer,
and
the
test
results
right
now
demonstrate
that
there
there
are
no
nature.
K
Thank
you
just
to
confirm
that
you
will
be
still
even
though
we
are
leveling
off.
We
are
still
continuing
with
the
solution
that
the
city
staff
presented
to
the
community
on
deepening
the
world,
and
we
have
all
the
we're
still
on
schedule
and
over
one
year
behind
because
of
the
property
and
the
acquisition
of
the
that
were
the
location
of
the
world.
Can
you
confirm
that
please
yeah.
K
Mr.
chair
I
just
want
to
thank
Tammy
and
her
team.
I
know
they've
been
always
in
constant
update.
I
know
there
is
some
concern
in
that
area,
but
we've
been
working
very
diligently
around
it,
but
I
want
to
thank
all
Thank,
You
Tammy
and
thanks
mr.
chair
for
allowing
asking
this
question
for
the
community.
Okay,.
B
You
very
much
council,
surgeries
and
cats.
Thank
you,
ten
euros
for
that
response,
just
for
them
for
the
layman,
when
you
hear
things
like
high
high
level
of
nitrates,
that's
often
cause
we
had
an
issue
in
mansik
years
ago.
It's
often
caused
by
the
an
oversaturation
of
septic
systems
in
a
certain
area
and
the
effluent
from
those
sub
systems
and
what
it
what
it
does
to
the
groundwater
and
and
what
we
have
in
shadow
Ridge,
community
and
Greeley,
is
not
an
unsafe
environment,
but
it
is
something
of
concern
and
we
feel
is
necessary
to
address.
B
Hence
the
the
plan
to
go
forward
with
new
wells
for
that
community
to
resolve
that
so
that's
sort
of
creeping
level
of
nitrates
in
the
water
there.
So
thank
you
so
I
don't
see.
Course
this
always
master
plan
phase
1.
So
you
recall
back
in
April,
we
held
a
very
successful
technical
briefing
which
participation
from
every
member
here,
certainly
and
all
members
of
many
members
of
council.
So
we
put
that
forward
here.
Originally
that
was
to
come
to
the
Environment
Committee
back
at
the
end
of
March.
We
did
several
briefing.
B
D
D
That
sort
of
thing
is
there
gonna,
be
an
update
at
some
point
in
the
next
few
months
on
the
composition
of
those
organics,
or
is
that
something
that's
coming
later
on
I,
just
I
recall
we
we
were
going
to
do
this
and
I
know
Kovac
who
would
hit,
but
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
brief
comment.
If
there's
some
update
on
that
do.
B
A
D
B
L
Sorry,
if
I
could
just
add
to
that
what
I'm
curious
about
with
that
is
the
rollout
of
the
green
bins
into
the
parks
we
were,
that
was
planned
last
year
and
I'm
sure
covet
has
disrupted
it,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
still
a
plan
to
get
as
many
green
bins
as
possible
out
into
the
park.
So
we
can
divert
that
waste
and.
A
B
Thank
you
so
I
am
D
was
an
update
on
Paul
your
initiatives.
You
recall
that
we
had
that
matter
come
forward
from
councillor
egg
lion.
This
is
just
an
update
on
that
matter.
An
item
II
and
I'm
really
surprised.
I'm
honestly
surprised
that
there's
no
delegations
on
this.
This
is
my
reports
on
a
trip
to
Chattanooga,
which
I
am
required
to
report
on,
to
look
at
it,
potentially
solutions
for
the
city
Otto.
So
this
is
something
that,
if
you
recall
the
palacio
situation
and
how
that
did
not
work
out
for
the
city.
B
Obviously
there
will
be
more
opportunities
to
look
at
options
in
the
future,
and
this
was
just
something
where
it
came
up
where
there
was
no
change
to
go.
Look
at
I
had
a
potential
solution
and
there
are
still
ongoing
discussions
as
to
what
that
can.
What
that
can
he
be
the
intensity's,
my
intent?
What
I
think
would
be
ideal
would
be
that
we
look
at
multiple
opportunities
over
the
course
of
the
next
several
years
to
see,
but
to
see
what
can
be
done.
What
can
be
is
different
solutions
for
auto
s.
B
L
I,
ask
you
a
question,
mr.
chair,
of
course
he
can.
The
report
doesn't
go
into
much
detail
about
what
you
actually
saw
down
there
like
what
the
process
was.
How
does
it
work?
What's
the
cost
per
ton,
the
kind
of
information
that
we
would
need,
as
a
council
and
committee,
to
make
informed
decisions
on
whether
this
is
an
option?
We
want
to
consider
so
well.
I,
really
appreciate
your
insight
and
everything
on
that
one.
L
B
So
that
this
year
was
really
exploratory,
I
mean
it
was.
It
was
a
lot.
It
was
almost
like
a
bit
of
a
give-and-take
type
situation
where
Brandon
sure
no
accompany
me.
Obviously,
her
expertise
on
a
solid
waste
file
and
her
involvement
with
plasto
obviously
gives
a
lot
of
insight
into
into
how
how
things
need
to
need
to
go
into
City,
and
we
were
talking
about
tons
of
different
things.
You
know
it
was.
B
We
provided
some
insight
to
them
on
what
they
need
to
do
to
operate
in
Ontario
and,
at
this
point,
we're
not
in
a
stage
where
we
would
even
consider
coming
to
Council
and
saying
here's
where
we're
at
with
that.
Here's,
what
we
want
you
to
vote
on,
we
would
never
put
something
in
front
of
in
front
of
you
with
those
without
those
details
and
with
eventful
that
full
information.
B
L
With
all
due
respect,
I
think
that's
how
we've
got
into
the
problem
with
classical
was
that
there
was
too
few
people
involved
in
the
decision-making
process.
So
I'd
like
early
on
for
the
committee
and
council
to
have
a
lot
of
information
about
these
different
options
so
that
we,
as
a
committee
under
your
leadership,
can
make
an
important
decision.
Well.
Can
we
get
some
commitment
to
make
sure
that
we
get
more
detail
on
that?
Please
yeah.
B
J
L
J
J
B
So
grand
bird
yeah,
that's
right,
so
it's
the
company's
called
land
era
and
there
was
they
haven't.
They
have
a
headquarters
or
a
test
facility
in
Dunlap
Tennessee,
and
that's
what
that's
what
this
was
so
obviously
the
regulatory
framework
in
a
place
like
Tennessee
it's
different
than
Ontario.
They
have
been
working
with
environmentalist
sorry,
environment,
scientists
in
in
Ontario
at
Peterborough
to
work
through
some
of
their
some
of
where
they
would
need
to
be
in
order
to
actually
operate
in
Ontario.
We
get
approached
by
a
lot
of
folks
that
could
never
operate
in
Ontario.
B
Ontario
is
one
of
the
more
difficult
places
to
operate
against
environmental
approval
for
technologies
on
waste
solutions.
I
know
I
had
one
that
is
looking
at
sending
up
in
Alberta.
Alberta
is
actually
on
the
lower
end
of
environmental
regulations
when
it
comes
to
these
types
of
technologies.
So
the
the
notion
of
of
coming
to
Ontario
is
is
an
uphill,
an
uphill
battle
for
for
many
for
many
of
these
waste
providers,
so
the
information
that
we
can
provide
to
help
them.
You
know
work
toward.
That
is
also
important
too,
because
we
have.
B
We
have
a
fairly
steady
waste
stream.
We
have
some
requirements
that
we
are
not
looking
at
doing
everything
all
at
once,
whereas
in
these
other
jurisdictions
it's
you
throw
everything
in
and
you
take
care
of
it
all
we're.
Looking
at
a
lot
more
of
a
dryer,
a
dryer
waste
stream,
because
we're
taking
out
the
organics
and
and
the
intent
is
to
continue
taking
out
organics
to
continue
working
towards
a
diversion
and
waste
reduction
and
only
dealing
with
what's
left
over
and
that
doesn't
always
fit
into
every
one
of
these
waste
models.
B
Item,
ultimately,
these
types
of
things
will
be
discussed
as
part
of
this
always
master
plan
this.
This
was
merely
just
two
councilors
report
on
and
on
a
trip.
I
mean
it's
not
it's
not
as
of
now
nothing's
come
to
fruition.
If
anything
does
come
to
fruition,
it'll
go
through
a
proper
procedure
and
counselors
will
be
involved
in
that
process.
Do.
B
C
You
mr.
chair,
certainly,
we
hope
it
19
pandemic
has
raised
a
lot
of
issues
in
the
community
and
then
working
with
the
Ottawa
South
Environmental
Action
Network
ocean
I
have
a
few
questions.
I
just
want
to
put
on
the
record
with
respect
to
community
gardens,
so
the
indemic
has
further
amplified
food
insecurity
issues
across
Ottawa.
It's
also
increased
the
need
and
desire
to
expand
community
gardens.
C
So
three
questions.
What
restrictions,
if
any,
are
there
on
residential
property
owners
from
erecting
a
vegetable
garden
which
may
include
raised
beds
on
their
front
yard
property
both
on
the
private
homeowner
land
and
on
the
city
right-of-way,
to
what
opportunities
exist
to
permit
community
gardens
to
be
erected
on
the
community
center
property?
Is
parks
and
recs
amenable
to
this
possibility?
What
might
be
the
challenges
of
this
proposal
and
finally,
which
parks
in
the
hunt,
club
and
Riverside
Park
communities
a
reward
with
staff
proposed
to
be
viable
candidates
to
host
a
community
garden?
Thank
You
mr.
C
D
Just
briefly,
mr.
chair
yeah
I
have
an
inquiry
I've
sent
this
off
to
to
Chris
as
well.
The
draft
minutes
of
the
dist
Tuesday
December
17th
2019
meeting
of
the
Standing
Committee
on
Environmental
Protection,
water
and
waste
management
included
direction
to
staff
that
staff
immediately
accelerated
climate
lens
with
regard
to
city
procurement
decisions.
D
B
B
B
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
think
we'll
be
in
face.
It
depends
on
on
it
French
the
h3
and
again
we
really
need
to
have
grew
up
to
a
certain
number
to
accommodate
that
I.
Don't
know
what
the
counselor
King
is
willing
to
have
us.
There
I
mean
I'm,
really
just
sort
of
spitballing
when
I
said
that
I
did
not
actually
pass
that
invite
on
through
him
I
just
made
it
up.
