[9:40] here presenting promotion and education awards from the municipal wastewater
[9:44] association to public works. Keely welcome and why don't you
[9:48] proceed with the introduction. Thank you. Good morning chair and
[9:52] members of regional counsel. It's my pleasure today to recognise
[9:55] the outstanding work of staff from our waste management division
[10:00] and partner teams who've recently received three municipal waste association,
[10:05] promotion and education awards. These award celebrate excellence and waste
[10:09] diversion education, community engagement and innovative resident outreach. Receiving three
[10:16] awards in a single year is a remarkable achievement and
[10:19] reflects the talent, creativity, collaboration and dedication of our staff.
[10:24] These initiatives have not only increased awareness of waste diversion
[10:27] programs, but have also inspired meaningful action by residents across
[10:32] peel. Our first recognition is a gold award for turn
[10:36] your clutter into calm campaign through a strong partnership between
[10:40] waste planning communications and CRC operations. This initiative used targeted
[10:45] outreach and behavioral insights to encourage residents to use peels
[10:50] community recycling centres. The campaign generated more than 8 million
[10:54] digital impressions and drove over 1, 300 voucher redemptions successfully
[11:00] turning awareness into action. Our second recognition is a gold
[11:06] award for the multi - residential organics pilot resident engagement
[11:10] program. Through collaboration between waste planning, waste collections and communications.
[11:16] Staff implemented a structured residence focused, engagement approach that achieved
[11:21] participation rates of more than 90 percent. This award reflects
[11:25] the team's success in helping residents confidently participate in organics
[11:30] diversion through a clear and consistent communication. Our third recognition
[11:34] is a bronze award for the household hazardous waste free
[11:38] market pop - up activation. Led by the household hazardous
[11:42] waste team and supported by public education and outreach, the
[11:46] communications and communications, this innovative initiative brought a mobile reuse
[11:52] marketplace directly to community events. Residents learned about safe reuse
[11:57] while helping divert significant quantities of material from landfill, including
[12:02] more than a thousand litres of paint. I'd like to
[12:06] congratulate everyone involved and thank them for their continued commitment
[12:10] to serving our residents and building a more sustainable community.
[12:18] Thank you. So Keely maybe we're going to grab some
[12:23] photographs now. If you would like to come up, I'm
[12:25] going to ask the CEO and maybe my chair, Maderos,
[12:29] but why don't I have vice chair PAT 14, he
[12:31] join us for the photos as well. Okay, thank you.
[15:14] Well done, and I say it often and proudly the
[15:17] finest public works department on the continent. And you show
[15:21] it every day. Well done. Okay, item two. Don Kennedy,
[15:23] chair of the board, Muhammad Lashemi, P. O. Regional Board
[15:26] member. And I understand Kim Robertson's here on behalf of
[15:29] the greater Tonight's authority as well, presenting Toronto Pearson's airport's
[15:33] annual update. Welcome. And as you're coming up to the
[15:37] chair, I'm going to thank you because you've always been
[15:39] so gracious with your time in the chair. They gave
[15:41] me a marvelous briefing earlier in the week. They do
[15:43] every year. And I'm only going to say that this
[15:47] before and I'll say it again. When I say my
[15:48] prayers at night for all the blessings of peel region
[15:51] at the top of the list is the airport and
[15:54] all that you do, the economic engine that you are
[15:58] and the hub that you are. Here in PO region.
[16:01] And the, really the whole nation. And the second point
[16:03] that I made is, you know, it's probably the most
[16:06] difficult challenge of all. Airports and hospitals, which is when
[16:10] you rebuild a professional stadium, they usually just build it
[16:13] in the parking lot next door and you move over
[16:15] next season. You're rebuilding an airport and people that rebuild
[16:19] hospitals rebuild them on the site at the same time.
[16:23] You have to be operational. You can't go open a
[16:26] temporary airport and say, come back in five years when
[16:28] it's done. So just a marvel and under Deborah Prince
[16:31] leadership and your team, we're blessed to have you at
[16:33] the helm. And I want to thank you for our
[16:35] gracious. You've been to the chair in keeping me apprised
[16:37] of development. So with that, welcome and we welcome your
[16:40] presentation. Well, first off, thank you very much for that
[16:44] introduction. Um, good morning, chair. I and Ika, members of
[16:49] council and staff. My name is Don Kennedy and I'm
[16:52] pleased to be here on behalf of Toronto Pearson as
[16:55] the new chair of the board effect of May 2026.
[16:59] I've been on the board since 2020 and served as
[17:02] chair of the planning and commercial development committee. Chair of
[17:05] the LIF committee, and as a member of the audit
[17:07] committee. I am joined by Dr. Lashami, your region appeal
[17:13] nominee to the board of directors. And Kim Robertson, our
[17:17] executive director of stakeholder relations. I am pleased to turn
[17:22] it over to the team so that you can get
[17:23] to know them. And hear of the latest updates from
[17:27] Toronto Pearson. Kim will get us started. Thank you very
[17:31] much. Um, uh, thank you, Dawn. And thank you for
[17:36] having us today. Um, we have some reporting to do
[17:40] on 2025, the year that we experienced, uh, and was
[17:44] certainly a very complex year of geopolitical activity. There were
[17:49] pressures on a number of, uh, industries and the aviation
[17:53] sector was no exception to that. Um, at our airport
[17:57] proper, uh, we experience labour pressures and, you know, an
[18:01] Air Canada strike. We experience significant weather events in 2025.
[18:06] And that took us well into 2026 with the, I
[18:09] don't know, the snowstorm of the century maybe, um, and
[18:11] then, uh, the delta incident that tested our preparedness, um,
[18:16] but we were ready. Um, and, and, and we, uh,
[18:18] navigated through those challenges. Um, so our resilience and agility
[18:22] has served us well to deliver value, uh, in spite
[18:26] of the challenges that crop up. Um, in terms of
[18:31] kind of traffic and performance for 2025 across North America,
[18:36] travel was down about one percent overall, but Toronto Pearson
[18:39] actually experienced a one percent growth in passengers over 2024
[18:45] with a total of 47. 3 million passengers in 2025.
[18:49] And one of the reasons for that was the, uh,
[18:52] decline that we may have seen from travel going to
[18:54] the US. We actually saw an increase within Canada and
[18:57] international travel. Um, reliable, predictable and affordable connections to more
[19:02] than 200, 201 destinations worldwide are the foundation of the
[19:09] value that Pearson has to this region. And the significance
[19:13] isn't just the number of destinations. It's what that connectivity
[19:17] sets in motion. We facilitate 30 percent of candidates passenger
[19:21] travel. And, you know, critically for the entire country. And
[19:28] that makes us an essential driver of Canada's supply chain.
[19:32] And here at home of Peel's logistics sector. And peels
[19:35] proximity to the airport is a decisive advantage for local
[19:39] businesses and residents who work at the airport. Uh, moving
[19:44] on to, uh, some additional performance metrics that, uh, maybe
[19:49] of interest, um, we've improved on - time performance year
[19:52] over year across both of our terminals. We've seen improving
[19:56] times for curbside drop - offs and pickups. We achieved,
[20:00] um, and this was 2025, mind you, not yet 2026
[20:03] reporting, but we achieved a new record for the number
[20:06] of aircraft de - iced for safe departures. And we
[20:09] are at Pearson, a world leader in de - icing.
[20:12] Um, and we are implementing new technology to create more
[20:15] seamless passenger journeys such as contactless processing in some of
[20:19] our customers areas. And that is for the benefit of
[20:22] passengers and also helps streamline our operations. And all of
[20:26] that, um, saw some recognition being sent our way the
[20:32] best North American airport at departures for over 40 million
[20:35] passengers. Uh, the one that we are extremely proud of
[20:38] is the best airport staff in North America from Skytracks.
[20:42] And also very important, uh, ranking and continued ranking on
[20:46] the Forbes Canada best employer list for three years running.
[20:50] So we are well into 2026. A volatile times in
[20:54] geopolitics continue to put pressure on our sector. But we
[20:57] are leaning into our agility, our competitiveness and our high
[21:00] performance culture to navigate and to continue to deliver results.
[21:04] Because we know that the success of Pearson airport has
[21:07] a significant ripple effect as an economic driver for the
[21:10] regional and national economy. So with that, I'm going to
[21:13] turn it over to Muhammad to talk about that economic
[21:16] impact and some highlights for peel region. Thank you very
[21:20] much, Kim. And good morning all. It's always pleasure to
[21:23] be here with you this morning as your PL representative
[21:28] on the, uh, board of, uh, directors of GTA. More
[21:33] than an airport person is where Canada's economy gain speed.
[21:39] By connecting people to opportunity, businesses to global markets and
[21:44] communities to growth. The airport sits at the centre of
[21:48] Canada's economic future, the Pearson economic zone, the largest employment
[21:55] area in Canada. Which is flywheel of economic impact for
[22:02] our surrounding regions. We're very proud that, uh, the airport
[22:07] sit on this region. Today, we know that approximately 18,
[22:13] 000 peel residents across Brampton, Mrs. Saga and Carla and
[22:18] our employed on site at Pearson. 10. 2 billion dollars
[22:25] of PL GDP is generated from Pearson Economic Zone activity.
[22:32] And in 2025, 241 million dollars, worth of good and
[22:39] services were procused directly from Pearson airport from over 400
[22:46] kill - based businesses. This economic benefits for PEAL region
[22:51] are expected to grow as Toronto Pearson grows to 65
[22:57] million passengers by the 2030s through the Lyft expansion program.
[23:03] But equally important is that they lift construction. We also
[23:08] help amplify job opportunities with impeal and bring additional procurement
[23:14] and supply change opportunities for PIL - based businesses and
[23:19] supplies. Overall, a person will continue to serve as a
[23:23] major source of employment and economic impact for years to
[23:27] come. Which is why the airport and surrounding lands continue
[23:32] to be an economic asset that needs to be protected.
[23:37] I will now turn it back to Kim to share
[23:40] more information of about our Lyft program over to you.
[23:45] Thank you very much. So, um, we are in our
[23:49] transformation era, uh, with Lyft. And I know that we
[23:52] have welcomed some of the people in this room at
[23:54] our initial groundbreaking that we had not that long ago.
[24:00] When we presented here last year, I understand we spoke
[24:02] about the plans for Lyft, which, uh, long - term
[24:05] investment and facilities and terminals. And we are very proud
[24:08] that that work has begun. The shovels are in the
[24:11] ground. And we, you know, continue to look forward to
[24:15] keeping you updated on our progress as we move forward
[24:17] through the phases of the program. Um, this is a
[24:21] generational expansion in modernization program. We are truly building an
[24:26] airport ready for the future of travel for trade and
[24:29] for connectivity. And so as passenger expectations evolve and Canada's
[24:34] global role grows, Lyft will deliver modern terminals, advanced technology
[24:39] and expanded capacity to serve that 65 million passengers that
[24:43] Muhammad spoke to by the 2030s. And that is what
[24:46] the anticipated demand, um, is, as demand for our travel
[24:50] increases. So this is really not just, or it's not
[24:53] limited to an upgrade of an airport. It's a generational
[24:57] investment in the airport and the surrounding economic zone. It
[25:01] will strengthen Canada's and the regions, economic resilience. It will
[25:06] unlock new opportunities for global connection, all while maintaining a
[25:10] focus on reliable efficient and affordable travel. And, um, this
[25:15] isn't just about growth and investment, although those are wonderful
[25:19] things. Um, this also means that we will be bringing
[25:23] to this region world - class innovation, construction, and aviation
[25:29] skills to a new generation of the peel workforce. So
[25:32] we're very excited about that. Um, just a little look
[25:35] about what, um, Lyft would mean in the economic impact
[25:38] of lift and the transformational, uh, shift in this airport
[25:44] project. Um, and it's what Muhammad spoke to earlier about
[25:47] the tangible benefits for peel specifically. But so the, uh,
[25:52] this is the projected impact for that. So, uh, more
[25:57] than 16, 000 new airport jobs on site at Toronto
[26:02] Pearson, net new, more than 9 billion dollars in new
[26:06] economic activity. And that brings the total contribution to 30
[26:09] billion. And really when you look at that impact, uh,
[26:13] it's, it actually spans the country with, um, the projection
[26:17] of 166, 000 jobs supported across the country. Um, we
[26:21] recently launched a new website to talk about the impact
[26:25] of the airport. So a little sales pitch for that.
[26:29] But also very important piece to this. There are local
[26:32] businesses in our community whose stories we're sharing. Um, who
[26:36] have had the benefit and the impact and the growth
[26:38] and expansion in their own business from their, uh, proximity
[26:41] to the airport. And so, uh, you know, we encourage
[26:44] you to find that on the link that is attached
[26:48] above. We also support, uh, procurement, uh, our local community.
[26:54] And so a little bit more about that. Um, we
[26:59] already engage, uh, many local Canadian suppliers and businesses and
[27:02] our current operations. And as I've said, we featured some
[27:04] of them in a current campaign. That includes tristar electric
[27:08] from peel, which would be a great example of, uh,
[27:12] a business that has grown and developed alongside Pearson. Um,
[27:15] we've in fact embedded our commitment to support local suppliers
[27:20] right into our procurement process. And so we ask every
[27:23] major bidder to demonstrate how they will benefit the Canadian
[27:27] economy. And that applies to all our procurements, not just
[27:30] our operating procurements, but our significant, uh, capital infrastructure procurements
[27:34] with Lyft. We also, um, as part of our commitment
[27:39] to the community, our, you know, we create pathways to
[27:42] employment by collecting, sorry, connecting local residents to jobs through
[27:47] programs like are ready to work career fairs. And we
[27:51] continue to invest in skills development in nearby communities and
[27:56] new rounds of workforce development programs geared toward Lyft are
[27:59] coming very soon. Um, and local businesses can visit the
[28:03] website on our screen. So if, um, uh, anybody in
[28:06] this room has constituents or those interested in being made
[28:10] aware of upcoming procurements. That would be the place to
[28:13] go. They can become registered and be advised. And that
[28:16] applies to not just, uh, what Pearson's doing about our
[28:18] subcontractors as well. So we are very excited to continue
[28:22] to grow with the community and with that, I will
[28:25] turn it back over to Dawn. Thank you, Kim. As
[28:31] you heard from the team this morning admits very turbulent
[28:34] times, Toronto is meeting the moment and fully embracing our
[28:38] role as an economic anchor across the GTHA. To propel
[28:43] our collective economic prosperity forward. As Canada's global gateway, Toronto
[28:49] Pearson is where the world arrives. Throughout June and July,
[28:53] we've been welcoming visitors from around the globe for the
[28:56] FIFA World Cup. Another event that is showcased our capacity
[28:59] to deliver for high profile events. As we've all been
[29:04] seeing in the news lately, air travel is being reshaped
[29:07] in real time. And we anticipate continued volatility and travel
[29:11] trends going forward. But what is steadfast and is our
[29:16] disciplined and our collaborative approach, building what's next responsibly. With
[29:22] our partners to unlock the full potential of Pearson. And
[29:27] our surrounding communities of which periol region is central. From
[29:33] strengthening our local supply chains, boosting trade, job creation, promoting
[29:38] tourism and leveraging new technology to drive innovation and efficiencies.
[29:44] These are the outcomes we are committed to to deliver
[29:47] on for decades to come. This concludes our presentation this
[29:52] morning. Thank you, chair. Members of council and staff for
[29:57] your time and attention this morning. It's been a privilege
[30:00] to step into the role of chair of the board
[30:02] this year for Toronto Pearson. And I look forward to
[30:05] working with you all here in peel in this capacity.
[30:09] We'd be pleased to address any questions that you may
[30:12] have. Thank you. And there are councillor heart. Things are
[30:21] confusing. Uh, always great to see all of you. Um,
[30:24] I'm hoping that you won't mind if I put you
[30:26] on the spot a little bit and ask you to
[30:28] educate some of my colleagues on the program you have
[30:31] sort of dovebtailing along with Lyft, uplift that addresses and
[30:35] encourages some of the employment paths that you were speaking
[30:37] about in this sort of the program you're using to
[30:41] achieve some of those goals. I just turned it off.
[30:47] Yeah. Thank you. Bigger trouble. Um, well, we collaborate with
[30:52] a number of agencies. Uh, we have secured funding. And
[30:56] we are continuing to bring people into the airport stream.
[30:59] We have a program called Rake Ready where restricted access
[31:03] card. So that's a key piece that you need to
[31:05] work at the airport. And so we have specific team
[31:10] dedicated to working with folks to get them through that
[31:14] security clearance process to become fully fledged airport workers. We've
[31:18] had a wonderful experience. We just had airport workers day
[31:22] where we were able to welcome some of these folks
[31:25] and, and, uh, see them in their jobs and their
[31:28] roles. And what is incredible? I mean, I probably have
[31:31] given you less details than you wanted, but what I
[31:33] will say is that the incredible pride that we see
[31:36] from folks who have become part of the Pearson community
[31:40] who have started working there who are contributing and really
[31:44] seeing the environment grow and very vibrant. Great. Thank you.
[31:48] And as a follow - up question, related to one
[31:51] of the awards that the international airport workers, they was
[31:55] celebrating one of the individuals was highlighted for his work
[31:57] in stopping human sex trafficking incident, which was really incredible.
[32:02] The, you know, skills that that took. I was wondering
[32:04] if you can talk a little bit about how you
[32:05] guys are integrating some of the concerns around that into
[32:09] the airport itself is you continue to grow and you
[32:11] become almost a city within a city and how you're
[32:15] addressing some of those social concerns as well as the
[32:18] operational ones. Well, the one thing I would say about
[32:20] being an airport is it's a team sport. And so
[32:23] Toronto Pearson is a facilitator. We have the infrastructure. But
[32:27] we work collaboratively with many, many agencies, including regional police
[32:31] forces and local agencies. So there is a level of
[32:36] awareness. It's part of our training that every airport employee
[32:39] has to undertake. There's some training that relates to that.
[32:42] Um, there is, you know, signage posters, those kinds of
[32:45] things. I know this was actually a concern around FIFA.
[32:48] Um, there was a view that events like this can
[32:51] raise it in prominence. Um, I just got back from
[32:54] Calgary. I see their airport is similarly engaged as we
[32:57] were with FIFA and some of the awareness measures that
[33:00] we took within the terminal equally at that airport. They
[33:05] did the same. So, uh, it's a, it's a collaborative
[33:07] effort. And I think employee training is a really important
[33:10] piece of that. And so we're very committed to it.
[33:13] Great. And yeah, I just want to commend anyone the
[33:16] incredible economic impact that you guys have, um, but I
[33:19] wanted to have you have an opportunity to highlight some
[33:21] of the social impact that you have because dollars are
[33:24] absolutely critical. But if it doesn't come with an awareness
[33:27] of the impact on the community, it doesn't always work
[33:30] as well. And so I just want to commend you
[33:32] for tying the two together. Thank you. Thank you Mayor
[33:35] Parish. Yes. Thank you. Um, I'm the abominable character
[33:45] that always brings this up, but I will always want
[33:47] to get it on the record. Um, particularly for Dr.
[33:51] Lisemi, as our representative, uh, we would really appreciate your
[33:55] lobbying, the government to get rid of the five percent
[33:59] upward ceilings on passenger traffic, uh, there was no downward
[34:06] stoppage at five percent during COVID. Secondly, it has the
[34:13] pellet amount per head hasn't changed since it was first
[34:16] brought in. I don't know how many years ago, more
[34:18] than 20. And, um, there's no pelts on freight. And
[34:23] you're probably the biggest freight airport in obviously in Canada.
[34:29] And it does a lot of damage. The trucks on
[34:31] our roads were repaving roads all the time. We get
[34:35] no revenue from the, from that going through the airport.
[34:39] So as our particular representative, I'm hoping you will help
[34:43] us. We've tried this and we actually had an agreement
[34:46] out of the former, uh, finance minister, uh, Charles Souza,
[34:52] um, before the liberals were defeated that they were going
[34:54] to fix those, those caps and they were going to
[34:56] fix the amount on the pilts. Uh, so I would
[34:59] hope that you can lobby with us on this because
[35:03] Mrs. Saga would really like to see, uh, change there.
[35:10] Through a chair. Thank you Mayor Parish for your comments
[35:15] and questions. I can tell you I'm very proud of
[35:18] the representative of the PIL region on this very important
[35:23] board. And the organisation and we acknowledge your request to
[35:28] the province. To BSS funding formula. And, uh, I'm always,
[35:34] uh, there to present very proudly this region and talk
[35:38] to the provincial government, about the importance of this region.
[35:42] So your comments are well noted. Thank you, Dr. Lisami.
[35:48] You're a very good lobbyist. You're a very good representative.
[35:51] I appreciate that. I have a second question, actually a
[35:54] question. Did we, does the region, um, do you pay
[35:58] the region for paramedic services? I understand there's, there's quite
[36:02] a bit of, uh, traffic coming in and out that
[36:05] we have to have our paramedics going there as passengers
[36:08] come off planes with problems, et cetera. Um, is there
[36:12] any payment to, towards our budget on paramedic services. So
[36:17] I think I'll answer that. I don't believe so, but
[36:20] I think that's something we'll have to follow up with
[36:23] you, um, with the mayor. Yeah. I would, I'd like
[36:26] to hear the answers to that because I know you
[36:28] pay police services fully. And I appreciate that. But I'm
[36:32] just curious about paramedics. Cause I think with the increased
[36:35] passenger loads coming in and this new plan, we're going
[36:39] to be having a lot of paramedic services going in
[36:41] there. So thank you. I'll look forward to your answer.
[36:43] Thank you, Chair. Thank you. Uh, if I have no
[36:47] other questions. Don Mohammed Kim, thank you very much for
[36:49] your presentation receipt move by Councillor. Oh, commissioner, do you
[36:56] have a follow up on that last subject? Please go
[36:58] ahead. Yes. Thank you through the chair and I apologise.
[37:04] I just wanted to share with counsel that in fact,
[37:07] no, we do not receive any funding or payment from
[37:11] the GTA for paramedic services. I will share with counsel
[37:15] that we see, and I'm looking at the chief that's
[37:18] up there. We see just above 6, 000 calls a
[37:23] year at the airport. We have been having conversations with
[37:28] Debra regarding and with the Lyft team regarding stationing paramedics
[37:37] within the airport as they do with police so that
[37:41] we can have better access to the full airport and
[37:45] quicker response times to patients because often those 6, 000
[37:50] patients, they're treated. And then their release. They don't actually
[37:56] go to hospital on most cases. So we, the chief
[38:00] is here with us with me today, but we're very,
[38:03] um, excited about continuing those conversations about opportunities like in
[38:09] other big airports where we can do more work with
[38:12] the airport on site by having our paramedic station there.
[38:16] So I will leave it with you wonderful people and
[38:20] hopefully we can continue those conversations and get that. Through.
[38:23] So much more to come on the file. Thank you.
[38:25] Again, thank you for your presentation. Receipt moved by Councillor
[38:28] Hart and Mayor Parishaldo's in favor. That is Carrie. Thank
[38:31] you once again. Okay. And our next presentation, item 7,
[38:34] 3 Jaclyn Anderson, chief executive officer and founder Nurse Jackie
[38:38] home care regarding home care services implementation and bridging the
[38:42] gap with Ontario Health at home. Jacqueline, welcome.
[39:22] This one. Sorry for that delay. Good morning. To the
[39:30] mayor. And other councillors and everyone here today. My name
[39:33] is Jacqueline Anderson and I'm the president and CEO of
[39:37] Nurse Jackie home care. I'm here this morning. To explain
[39:42] to the council that, uh, the crisis in Brampton homes.
[39:48] Seniors are being refused care in their comfort of their
[39:53] own home. In the long - term care, they're eight
[40:01] to 10 patients to one PSW. When the seniors is
[40:05] in their home, it's on one - on - one
[40:07] care. Plus oh making meal preparation and a day -
[40:11] to - day observation. The crisis is happening right now.
[40:18] Clients are being refused on making support. There's often left
[40:22] alone. Laundry. Meal preparation. You know, daily tasks that they
[40:28] cannot manage. Sometimes they're often malnutrition, isolated and dehydrated. There's
[40:36] also a workforce shortage here in Brampton. There's no standardized
[40:42] on tier as no standardized wisely recognised partway for training
[40:46] Ohm support worker where people can, where staff can go
[40:49] into people's home and provide these type of services. The
[40:55] solution nurse Jackie training academy. I've been working on training,
[41:01] few on support worker to bridge these gaps with the
[41:05] seniors that are living in the comfort of their own
[41:07] home. We have a certified program, which is not been
[41:10] recognised. And with my experience of 25 years of frontline
[41:15] health care experience, I designed this curriculum. So it can
[41:21] provide workforce to help seniors which are in their home.
[41:25] What we're asking mainly is like a college partnership. So
[41:30] the certificate can be recognised. I'd forget to champion for
[41:35] seniors to stay in a championship for seniors to stay
[41:39] in their own homes. Without a partnership, the certification is
[41:43] not recognised. Radioids cannot qualify for public, you know, funding
[41:49] home care placement. Academy cannot access provincial education and workforce.
[41:55] Seniors will be turned away, no recognised workers to send.
[41:59] And Jursakie Omkir Academy remains invisible in the broader health
[42:04] care system. With a partnership, certification can be recognised. Nursed
[42:11] Jack Academy become an accredited credential trained provider. Access to
[42:15] provincial education and workforce development. Brampton seniors finally get their
[42:20] own making support they need. Abramton built solution to Brampton
[42:24] crisis right here at home. The funding case invest in
[42:31] training save the system. 700 plus a day caused at
[42:36] the hospital beds in Ontario. Or making keep seniors out
[42:41] of the hospital. 4, 000 plus PSW and age Ohm
[42:46] support workers job needed in PIL right now. Zero funding
[42:50] for Nurse Jackie Omkir Academy. We are self - funded.
[42:53] We need your support. Stays here in this community.
[43:05] We're oxen Brampton to do to help us to facilitate
[43:10] a college partnership. Champion regionally recognition with the onset Ohm
[43:16] and seniors or living in their own home that required
[43:20] assistance in the homemaking Ohm support. Funding. Recognise their own
[43:27] bacon crisis. Career in Brampton. El post to bring this
[43:33] home. Right now Brampton seniors is Abramton Sr. is sitting
[43:37] at home alone because they are refused to make it
[43:41] up their need. There's jacket training academy is the answer.
[43:45] What we cannot do it alone. Without your partnership, your
[43:49] advocacy and your support. We will train the workers fill
[43:53] the gap and make sure no Brampton seniors is ever
[43:57] told there's no elf. I would ask Andrea my nurse
[44:02] to say a few words to close. Good morning. So
[44:06] as a nurse working in Ontario, my experience is over
[44:13] 30 years in nursing. And now that I work with
[44:17] Nurse Jackie Home Care, I do see a crisis with
[44:20] seniors. In the home. I go into the home and
[44:25] I see where they not only need care, but also
[44:29] they need a homemaker in the home. Uh, many of
[44:33] the seniors are living in very bad situation. Um, some
[44:39] of the things that I see through my lenses is
[44:43] that when a PSW goes into the home from Ontario,
[44:48] a health at home, their focus is really on the
[44:52] client. They don't do a scope through their lenses regarding
[44:57] what's happening in the home. Um, there is infestations going
[45:01] on in the home, mice infestation, um, the senior is
[45:05] not able to get any form of help in the
[45:09] home regarding that. Also there is a safety issue for
[45:13] many seniors. As a nurse, going into the home, there
[45:19] is huge mobility issues. And they really want to stay
[45:24] in their home. When I do have the conversation with
[45:26] them, they'd rather get someone in the home to give
[45:30] them the care that they need instead of going into
[45:33] a long - term care facility where you have a
[45:36] PSW ratio of eight to 10 patients to one PSW.
[45:42] So that is a crisis. As you know, or a
[45:46] healthcare system, um, has a lot, I call it bruises.
[45:50] We're very bruised because we do not have the staff.
[45:55] We do not have the support. And so what is
[45:59] happening even in Brampton Civic Hospital is that now they've
[46:03] implemented the PSWs to take the load after registered nurses.
[46:08] So it is a crisis. And if we have more
[46:12] homemakers, being trained in this academy, they can go into
[46:15] the home and they can provide not only the care,
[46:19] but they can look beyond the care for what the
[46:22] seniors needs in their home. Thank you. Thank you very
[46:27] much for your presentation. And I'm really glad you brought
[46:29] it here. Chair of the Board of Health. I don't
[46:32] know if you've ever heard me. I won't tell the
[46:33] whole story from my colleagues, but you are speaking to
[46:36] the biggest challenge we have going forward. I mentioned it
[46:39] before, but I will mention it to you. I tell
[46:41] people, when I was born, they believed I would be
[46:43] dead at 72. So the Canadian pension was based on
[46:47] me dying at 72. The good news is we're living
[46:50] much longer. So my analogy is if you were born
[46:53] more recently, there's very, very good news and the very,
[46:55] very bad news. What's the good news. You're probably going
[46:58] to live to a hundred years old. Yes. That's really
[47:01] good news. What's the bad news? You're probably going to
[47:04] live to a hundred years old. And you're going to
[47:06] live your body, your mind, your money or your children
[47:11] or any combination of the above. Course. The new data
[47:15] that I learned and I did not know this. Anecdotally
[47:18] I should have all individuals aging. 65 to 70 percent
[47:24] only get care from their family. 65 to 70 percent.
[47:30] Remember my father, who was blessed with four kids who
[47:33] all lived nearby when mom passed away, we visited eight
[47:36] times a week. Wow. All of us always looking after
[47:40] dad going make sure. Cause I didn't need the car.
[47:42] We do happy to do so for all that our
[47:44] father and mother gave to us. Problem number one. A
[47:47] lot of people don't have four kids anymore. That's right.
[47:49] Or three or two or one are none. And if
[47:54] they do the world economy, they may move away for
[47:56] work. This is a huge problem. The last thing I
[48:00] parlay it with the province of Ontario spent 240 billion
[48:03] dollars last year. They predict looking after my generation aging
[48:08] will cost 240 billion by itself. Something has to give.
[48:14] I don't know what. But I think you're part of
[48:16] the solution. Thank you. Your presentation, your understanding as well.
[48:21] We need to do a deep dive on this file
[48:23] and we have to redesign how we deliver care. We
[48:27] do a great job appeal. We couldn't possibly look after
[48:31] with the housing and the services they need on the
[48:33] residential tax bill to deal with the aging baby. So
[48:38] your well - advice. I'm so glad you're here and
[48:40] you're on the right track. And so thank you very
[48:41] much for receipt move by Councillor Fonseca, seconded by Councillor
[48:45] Dasko. All those in favor carried. Okay. That takes us
[48:48] down to no presentations from staff. The first item up
[48:52] we have is items related to corporate legislature. Councillor Fonseca
[48:55] to deal with 15, two and 15 three. Over to
[48:58] chair Fonseca. Thank you very much, Chair. Yanika. I believe
[49:05] 15. 2 was held by Councillor Dasko. Over to you,
[49:10] Councillor Dasko. Thank you through the chair. I just wanted
[49:16] to just ask, this comes back to, I guess one
[49:20] of our more familiar files lately. And that's on the
[49:23] PAMA side of things. Uh, just looking at, um, I
[49:27] guess the endowments in terms of how they're getting treated.
[49:30] And then also, uh, just trying to determine what the,
[49:35] um. I guess what, what's going on to reserves and
[49:39] what that looks like. I'm just wondering, has all of
[49:42] this been worked out along with the kind of the
[49:45] transition group. To date. Not sure Gary Devinder. Like to
[49:54] speak to that. Just certainly I can take that one
[49:56] initially. Um, so this report is just a status report
[50:00] of where we're at the end of April. I think
[50:03] all of those points will be worked through with Michael
[50:06] Hall and the transition board that's there. Uh, I don't
[50:10] think Andrew's not here, but I don't think they've met
[50:13] yet, but they're doing all the Andrea Warren and Meiko
[50:15] have been in discussions about getting meetings set up. I
[50:19] think all these items are important and we'll itemize them
[50:23] and we'll be transparent about how they're handled. Okay. Yeah.
[50:27] And again, I know the status of what this report
[50:29] is. I just wanted to just flag that and just
[50:32] make sure that it is out there for transparency. Saint.
[50:37] Thank you. Okay. Thank you for the question. Councillor Daskouncer
[50:42] Hornick. Thanks very much, Madam Chair. Um, yeah, I guess
[50:47] just to be a bit more explicit, I guess, will
[50:49] the standing assumption in the budget be that, uh, with
[50:52] the transfer of waste and roads to the municipalities that
[50:56] the assuming taxing power would also transfer at the same
[51:00] dates that they're looking to transfer the services over. Madam
[51:08] chair. I think that probably refers to 15 - 3,
[51:12] the report. If you want to move on to that
[51:13] one, the fills are in the other. Yes, I think
[51:15] this is 50. Oh, sorry. It's 15 - 3. So
[51:18] that's - You're on two. We're on two. Oh, I'm
[51:20] sorry. We're still on two. I know you're trying to
[51:22] move things. I apologise. No, moving along. So that I'm
[51:25] as efficient as our actual chair, um, so anyway, any
[51:30] more questions with regards to 15 too. If not, move
[51:36] by Councillor Dasko, seconded. There is a resolution. Yes. Which
[51:44] is the recommendation, the two recommendations in the report. So,
[51:49] um, move by Councillor Dasko, seconded by Councillor Hornick. The
[51:55] resolution that is on the, uh, on the screen. Anyone
[51:59] to speak to the motion. Okay. All in favor. And
[52:06] that carries. Thank you very much. Okay. And now we
[52:13] are on to 15. 3. Go ahead, Councillor. My apologies,
[52:17] Madam Chair. No worries. Um, yeah. So I'm 15. 3,
[52:21] uh, I guess I wanted to work on the budget
[52:24] assumption. And is the assumption of the transfer of roads
[52:27] and waste that the corresponding taxing powers would move to
[52:31] the municipalities. And I guess, uh. CAO Kent and I
[52:34] had a discussion the other day, um, just about that
[52:37] there's going to be some tale of closing down the
[52:39] shop. And I guess, uh, what would that look like?
[52:43] And I guess at some point we'd want to have
[52:44] some kind of plan presented to council to say, uh,
[52:47] yes, these things have transitioned over. But we do have
[52:50] to transition the files. We do have to turn out
[52:53] the lights on these departments. And what does that look
[52:55] like for what period of time? How many staff, what
[52:58] does it cost. How are we going to work all
[52:59] that in Gary. Go ahead, Gary. Sure. And toviniza can
[53:04] jump in. Yes. So, I mean, the fact of when
[53:06] the service transfers, then the local municipalities will be budgeting
[53:12] from that. And your budget feeds your taxing. Peace, the
[53:16] actual payrolls transfer as well, I believe in Patricia, to
[53:19] speak to that. Yeah. Councillor Harnick and I, and actually
[53:22] the facility through and all of us are seeing that
[53:25] clearly, it's like when people leave gardens clauses, you know,
[53:28] someone say the late, but the next day somebody cleans
[53:31] out the ace and the things that have to happen
[53:33] afterwards, we haven't defined what that looks like yet, but
[53:36] all of there's an operational working team. There's a financial
[53:39] working team. We kind of need operations to speak first
[53:42] about how they see the, you know, maybe some things
[53:45] going earlier, maybe some things. How's that actually going to
[53:48] work? And then finance will cost that. And those costs
[53:52] will be estimated and put into the budget for appeal
[53:56] for 2020. And then those costs will probably come out,
[54:04] if they're not required in 20th. So cancel hornick and
[54:07] I had a conversation about, you won't see peel optimizing
[54:11] our budget in 2027 because there's much change and so
[54:15] much disruption and some tale. But the year developtimization is
[54:19] going to be probably 2028. And that's because over a
[54:25] 50 years, you've got a queen people before me. Credit
[54:29] are really quite tight ship. And they were pulling things
[54:31] out and do it actually understand all of that. Will
[54:35] it be this economizing some scale things? You get things
[54:39] like a general ledger that won't be a goal where
[54:42] cost. We'll still need a general ledger. All of that.
[54:45] Cancer Hornet. You're bang on with your question. We don't
[54:47] know the answers to that, but we're doing all the
[54:49] questions that have to be answered. And the facilitator for
[54:53] roots is all over us for that as well. So
[54:56] more to come in the fall. And as we proceed
[54:59] through, the facility, so I was going to do an
[55:01] interim report to the, um, on roads to the province.
[55:07] And I think she's looking to write that by September.
[55:11] So she's actually quite keen to get numbers as well.
[55:14] So we have this direct cost approved straightforward and other
[55:18] maritals about who do you deal with the same inner
[55:21] contracts or not. They're all getting walked through ISO to
[55:23] speak. Uh, does that a lot of effort by staff
[55:27] on this. All right. Thank you very much for Candor.
[55:32] And it is a lot of work to close down
[55:34] something. And look forward to that report, I guess, detailing
[55:38] how that will flow. And, uh, you know, we do
[55:40] have to realise those savings at some points. So what
[55:43] will that look like? Thanks. Thank you for the questions.
[55:47] Councillor Hornig. So for clarification, we will be provided a
[55:52] separate report on roads in September along with an overview.
[55:59] An overview of everything or an update. With regards to
[56:05] everything. Uh, that you're just speaking about and that this
[56:08] report speaks to in September at that September council meeting.
[56:13] For clarity, Madam Chair, add the facility. So it's rating
[56:17] a report that people will not get. They will go
[56:20] to the minister. And what you'll see from us, and
[56:24] I'm not sure the level of detail that will be
[56:26] in it because we haven't done the work yet collectively
[56:29] is, uh, we've committed to rating to counsel every six
[56:32] weeks with an update. So I would imagine in September,
[56:36] there would be more detail, how precise that's going to
[56:39] be. We'll figure out. We're also trying to prepare the
[56:41] budget, of course, which will come to the new council
[56:44] and outnied January. And all of that, all of this
[56:48] has to dovetail to be as precise as we can
[56:51] be. But make sure some days somewhere is taxing for
[56:54] the expenditures for all these services. And there's no daylight
[56:58] between ourselves and the local municipalities. So, uh, definitely be
[57:03] a report, probably the first meeting in September, how much
[57:06] detail will be in it. I think we'll have to,
[57:09] that's our summer project. Right. Okay. Thank you very much
[57:13] seeing nobody else on the board moved by, move receipt
[57:17] by Councillor Hornick, all in favor. And that carries and
[57:22] back to you. Thank you. And that takes us all
[57:24] the way down to item 19. Other business or councillor
[57:28] inquiries. I'm looking in the chamber and I see none
[57:32] and I see none on my screen. Takes us to
[57:35] notices of motion. Perhaps I could with regards to item
[57:39] 21 and 22. Jason Hastings, our general manager of Peel
[57:43] Housing Corp. Maybe if you could introduce these two items,
[57:46] please. You, Mr. Chair. Good morning, everyone. I appeared today
[57:54] with a heavy heart to remember two valued members of
[57:57] the PO living community whose lives were taken far, far
[58:00] too soon recently. Arjun genitandron and Saren Sam. Both Arjun
[58:06] and Saren served as building monitors with peel living. Arjun
[58:09] was a new peel region employee and Saren was a
[58:11] contractor who'd worked alongside us for several years. Uh, they
[58:15] both shared a commitment to their work and the genuine
[58:18] care for people around them. Arjun, who's only 30 years
[58:21] old, uh, came from Harripad in Karala, India. After completing
[58:26] his studies, he chose to build a future in Canada.
[58:28] He survived by his wife, Benita, who arrived in Canada
[58:31] only a few months before this tragedy. And its parents
[58:34] in Coralla. Uh, friends remember Arjun for smile, his kindness
[58:38] and his positive attitude and the impact he had on
[58:41] those around him. Saren, who was only 28 years old
[58:45] and also from Coralla, had recently completed his studies and
[58:48] was beginning his professional career in Canada. He survived by
[58:51] his parents and his 15 - year - old sister
[58:53] who looked to him for encouragement and support. Friends remember
[58:57] him as kind, humble, compassionate, hardworking and generous. He carried
[59:03] great hopes for his family and worked hard to create
[59:05] opportunities for them. As we reflect on their lives, we're
[59:09] reminded that behind every colleague as a family, a story
[59:12] into dream. And in this case, a uniquely peeled dream.
[59:17] Uh, arjun and sering came to Canada seeking opportunities in
[59:20] a better future. They brought dedication, optimism, and kindness to
[59:23] their work and the people they met along the way.
[59:26] So on behalf of Peel Living in the region of
[59:29] PO extend our deepest condolences to their families, loved ones,
[59:33] friends and colleagues. Uh, we share in their grief. And
[59:36] we'll remember Arjun and Saren with gratitude, respect and affection.
[59:41] Their lives ended far too soon, but the impact they
[59:43] had on those who knew them will not be forgotten.
[59:46] You'll be remembered and they'll be deeply missed. Thank you.
[59:50] Thank you. Um, what struck me right away is argin
[59:54] and saran could be my two sons. You know, they
[59:58] say the greatest tragedy in life, you know, until you
[1:00:00] live it, you don't know it. It's having to bury
[1:00:02] your children. Because you're not supposed to bury your children.
[1:00:06] It brings a natural 28 and 30 years old. So
[1:00:09] with that, I do want to formally as well acknowledge
[1:00:11] them by way of motion. The first one moved by
[1:00:14] Councillor Mahoney, seconded by Councillor Kovac. Whereas the regional chair
[1:00:17] members of regional counsel and staff at PO region or
[1:00:20] saddened to learn of the passing of arjun genaturan. And
[1:00:23] whereas arjun joined peel region in 2026 and served as
[1:00:27] a contract over several years prior to supporting various appeal
[1:00:30] living sites. And whereas he is remembered as a valued
[1:00:33] and respected team member for his dedication, supporting peel living
[1:00:37] tenants and maintaining their sites with care. Now therefore be
[1:00:39] it resolved that sincere condolences be extended to the ginichandran
[1:00:43] family on behalf of regional chair unica, members of council
[1:00:47] and staff of the region of Peel. All in favor,
[1:00:50] that carries unanimously. And move by Councillor Hornick, seconded by
[1:00:54] councillor. Fonseca, whereas regional chair members of regional counsel and
[1:00:59] staff at Bill region or satin to learn of the
[1:01:00] passing of Saren Samchaco. And where is Sarah Samchaco joined

[1:01:06] term contractor supporting various peel sites. And whereas he is
[1:01:09] remembered as evaluate and respected team member known for his
[1:01:12] dedication to supporting a living tenants, peeled living tenants and

[1:01:18] sincere condolences be extended to the chakra family on behalf
[1:01:20] of the regional chair, members of regional council and the
[1:01:24] staff of PO region. All those in favor, that carry
[1:01:27] shenonimously. Again with our condolences. Okay, the next item I
[1:01:32] have up as a notice of motion is item 20.
[1:01:34] 3 motion regarding sever food's bank regional development charges as
[1:01:38] moved by Councillor Hornick and councillor heart. I have the
[1:01:41] motion before me. You have it on the screen. It
[1:01:43] is in the quantum of 12, 796 dollars. If the
[1:01:48] mover would like to speak to the motion councillor Hornet.
[1:01:51] Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Seva food banks is
[1:01:53] well known to everybody in Mississauga. Has two locations. One
[1:01:57] in my area in Wolfdale and one in Councillor Hearts
[1:01:59] area up in the Malten and they do a great
[1:02:01] job providing needed food for our residents. Um, this development
[1:02:06] charge is a small expansion to the wolfdale. It allows
[1:02:09] them to add more freezer space, uh, to serve more
[1:02:12] constituents. Council has a long history of supporting projects like
[1:02:15] this. And so I'm asking for a single time, uh,
[1:02:18] grant and lieu of the development charges for just under
[1:02:21] 13, 000 dollars. And I hope council will support that.
[1:02:24] And thank you very much. Thank you. And they do
[1:02:27] great work. And I've attended that wolf facility. Absolutely full
[1:02:30] support. Um, any other speakers seeing none, it's been moved.
[1:02:33] All those in favor, that carries as well. Thank you.
[1:02:36] The next one that I have is a motion move
[1:02:38] by Councillor early in Councillor Rousseau. And this requires two
[1:02:41] thirds to be dealt with. So I have to dispose
[1:02:43] of that first. That section 512 of the procedural bylaw
[1:02:47] 2022 is amended be waived to permit consideration of emotion
[1:02:50] without seven days previous notion. All those in favor. And
[1:02:53] he oppose that is carried. And now to deal with
[1:02:55] the motion itself, the motion is moved by councillor early
[1:02:59] and councillor Russo. Councillor Early, why don't I have you
[1:03:01] introduced the motion and speak to it. It is on
[1:03:03] the screen. Thank you. Um, a fairly standard motion and
[1:03:08] a little bit of assistance for Kaladin. We have recently
[1:03:11] had to close or they're going to close airport road,
[1:03:14] which is a major artery in Chalden. We are replacing
[1:03:18] a bridge in a culvert. And the problem is, is
[1:03:21] that during this whole construction period for two months, we
[1:03:23] really can't have a truck come down. They would actually
[1:03:26] be at risk of even being able to get back
[1:03:27] out. So we have to look at a full truck
[1:03:31] prohibition. Uh, the issue is though, is that currently for
[1:03:34] the OPP to pull a truck over and to prohibit
[1:03:38] them from going somewhere. They do need to deal with
[1:03:40] weight skills. So the motion is actually just looking at
[1:03:44] amending this so that, uh, the weight scales are not
[1:03:47] part of it. And they can basically just look at
[1:03:49] the regulated weight that is registered by the truck. Um,
[1:03:53] and then prohibit them from going down airport road. So
[1:03:56] it's actually travelling from old church south. It's, it's quite
[1:03:59] a dense area of small businesses that are being very
[1:04:03] affected by this, um, by this, uh, closure of the
[1:04:07] road. It's caused a lot of emotional stress. I do
[1:04:09] want to say thank you to, I'm going to take
[1:04:12] a moment to say thank you to the region team
[1:04:13] who came out on a Sunday, uh, four staff members
[1:04:16] came out on a Sunday to meet with the residents
[1:04:18] and the business owners in Caledon, uh, Gary has been
[1:04:21] very involved, very thankful to the chair who also was
[1:04:24] very involved in this whole process. It's not fun as
[1:04:27] many people know. And it's even tougher when there's no
[1:04:29] other arteries for anyone to go in and out. But
[1:04:32] this motion really solely is, is if a truck came
[1:04:33] down, I have a feeling we're going to have hard
[1:04:35] pressed to get them out. So we really need to
[1:04:38] make sure that we, uh, you know, limit the issues
[1:04:42] for our officers to stop the truck from going down
[1:04:45] the road. Thanks. Councillor Russo. Very briefly through the chair.
[1:04:52] Um, echoing everything, uh, Councillor indicated and mentioned, uh, but
[1:04:57] highly, highly want to think, um, Gary, the chair, Keely,
[1:05:03] uh, and Sean and his team. Like Sean has gone
[1:05:06] way above and beyond getting emails literally, um, council early,
[1:05:12] can attest to 12 1 a. m. 6 a. m.
[1:05:16] whatever the case may be. Just really want to thank
[1:05:18] the team. They've, they've really responded very quickly. On something
[1:05:21] that was supposed to stay open, but we encountered a
[1:05:25] problem and we have to do it as an emergency,
[1:05:28] but staff has, has been exceptional. Thank you. Thank you.
[1:05:32] Um, well, I too want to thank the team here
[1:05:35] in the work showing up on a Sunday to meet
[1:05:37] with them. I give you a lot of credit. But
[1:05:39] I really want to give a shout out to Mayor
[1:05:41] Groves, Councillor Early, Councillor Russo and local councillor, Mascal, because
[1:05:45] what an incredibly challenging file. And boy, you've stepped up
[1:05:48] for your community. It is that rare condition. They use
[1:05:51] a home renovation as an example. Okay. I've got a
[1:05:53] home renovation. I'm ready to go. Here's my budget. Here's
[1:05:55] the timeline. They ripped the shingles off the roof and
[1:05:58] they go, Oh, you got mold. Well, we didn't count.
[1:06:00] We didn't see it until the shingles came up. Well,
[1:06:02] now we got to. And chaing, ka - ching time.
[1:06:07] We thought the road would remain open when we went
[1:06:09] and started on the condition. It doesn't allow for it
[1:06:12] for safety reasons. But in fairness to the patrons, we
[1:06:14] thought we were going to leave the road open. But
[1:06:16] then everybody agrees for pure safety reasons and wanting to
[1:06:20] get it done during the summer months before school starts.
[1:06:23] We want to make it work this way. But incredible
[1:06:25] hardship to the community and the councillors have been amazing
[1:06:28] so much so that at their request, I will be
[1:06:30] showing up to the site sometime next week to meet
[1:06:33] with residents and maybe even a follow - up meeting
[1:06:35] as well. Because I think they deserve that. But shout
[1:06:37] out to the mayor and the members of council for
[1:06:39] making the best of a bad situation that was foisted
[1:06:42] upon you. And a shout out to my team at
[1:06:44] Peel for doing the best we can under the circumstances
[1:06:47] when we discovered a different approach would be needed. That
[1:06:50] only became apparent when we were on the site and
[1:06:52] actually got started on the project. But we'll get through
[1:06:54] this and we will make it work. And this is
[1:06:56] one of the steps in the process of getting there.
[1:06:59] So with that, you have the motion. It has been
[1:07:01] moved by Councillor Early. Take a second by Councillor Russo
[1:07:04] taking his red on your screen. All those in favor.
[1:07:06] That is carry. Thank you all and more work to
[1:07:08] be done. Okay. With that, my next motion is from
[1:07:11] Councillor Russo. Second by Councillor Tour. That section 512, two
[1:07:14] of the procedural bylaw 22, 2022 as amended be waived
[1:07:18] to permit consideration of emotion without seven days prior notice.
[1:07:22] All those in favor, that is carried. The next motion
[1:07:24] I have is from Councillor Russo and Councillor with regards
[1:07:27] to Highway 50 and Mayfield Road. There it is taken
[1:07:31] as red. Do I have any speakers to the motion.
[1:07:35] Seeing none, all those in favor, any opposed, that is
[1:07:38] carried. Thank you again, Madam Clerk. I think that takes
[1:07:41] me all the way down to, if I had no
[1:07:44] other inquiries, I've dealt with the notices of motion. We're
[1:07:47] getting ready to go in a closed session. First, the
