[26:04] Hey Mister chair Mister like to hold twenty twenty one

[26:24] as requested by councillor plushie okay okay and before I

[26:28] take the vote on the consent agenda and and how

[26:31] we deal with it but I also wanted to suggest

[26:32] to my colleagues in the interest of keeping us moving

[26:35] along you see we have quite a list of delegations

[26:38] she finishes here first and I'd like to deal with

[26:40] that first when we come to it but then we

[26:42] have a bunch with regards to the consumption site and

[26:45] of course we're going to deal with those next what

[26:47] I wanted to suggest was I thought it might be

[26:49] timely and helpful to focus the conversation is to deal

[26:53] with the brief staff presentation first because you find that

[26:56] asks and answers so many of the questions on behalf

[26:59] of the delegates I think it'll streamline the conversation once

[27:03] council in committee is dealt with I will open it

[27:05] up to all of the delegates on the opioid matter

[27:08] because some follow some of the delegates on the mother

[27:11] Parkers matter I want to deal with all the folks

[27:14] with regard to the consumption side first on the agenda

[27:16] regardless of where they fall then we will conclude with

[27:19] delegates on mother Parkers so what you're concurrence there is

[27:22] your consent agenda are there any questions seeing none I

[27:26] haven't moved by councillor Mullen seconded by council early but

[27:28] the following matters listed on the July seven twenty twenty

[32:14] what's different in a growing region and we'll get to

[32:17] the growth impacts ... we're still called upon in the

[32:21] concurrent lane way is to look at not doing things

[32:25] the way we've always done it in a in a

[32:27] mechanisms for alternative service delivery and many of these elements

[32:32] are what is what drives the activities that you perhaps

[32:36] may see or you see emerging from peel regional police

[32:40] a without a doubt because I know we are members

[32:42] of the community and public interest in it I I

[32:45] can't let the time pass without talking about community safety

[32:47] well being I wish it was a little easier to

[32:50] say and if people didn't ... you know glaze out

[32:53] when I kept saying committee safety well being but you

[32:56] know ... it's a pleasure to be able to share

[32:58] that with commissioner pull Cinelli and we want to keep

[33:01] routing people in the framework the frameworks indicates that traditionally

[33:04] we've always been in the urgency incident response and that's

[33:08] what you know when there's a problem in the community

[33:10] we say let's put more effort in this space and

[33:13] I don't want to walk away from this it is

[33:15] an important space with you know the issues that we

[33:19] see from intimate partner violence the carjackings and thefts ...

[33:23] you know things that plague our community we will always

[33:25] be in the space but just awesome the space fire

[33:29] paramedics doesn't resolve everything and emphasis on ensuring that we

[33:34] bring other people into the space of social development prevention

[33:37] not just crime prevention but prevention for all issues and

[33:41] also opportunities to get upstream mitigate risk are really important

[33:45] to us and so this is the lands that we

[33:48] are trying to apply to it could be a neighbourhood

[33:51] street corner related issue that applies a right to you

[33:55] macro issues such as mental health and addictions

[33:58] S. housing homelessness ... food food and security and all

[34:03] the different issues that you as a region and councillors

[34:06] in your constituency ... it's the same ones that our

[34:09] officers are are at the doorsteps every day and so

[34:12] that's why it's important to us the idea being is

[34:15] that if we put emphasis in the other areas as

[34:17] you can see visually the emphasis in the red has

[34:20] decreased and by decreasing it you know conceptually this allows

[34:24] us to get back to the spaces that we like

[34:27] to be at ... I know all of you you

[34:29] know I've talked to many of you both in a

[34:31] being put on hold on you know nine one one

[34:34] or delays in us reporting we love to get back

[34:36] to the business that we are supposed to be doing

[34:39] and so with the way we look at is these

[34:42] four on the rights of the screen these four big

[34:44] buckets and it's not that it's gone from all the

[34:46] other things that are important but these are acutely elevated

[34:49] areas of risk in our community that we are using

[34:53] the community safety well being lands on some of you

[34:56] will have received I think most of you will have

[34:59] received at least the packages staff will have it last

[35:02] week we were able to launch my commitment I know

[35:05] the region is committed to community safety well being plan

[35:08] which they push through admins colon but as an organization

[35:13] that is one of you know many partners in the

[35:16] regions community safety well being plan we wanted to commit

[35:20] ourselves in a real thoughtful way to continue our approaches

[35:25] to proactive collaborative solutions to preventing and mitigating risa we

[35:30] have our own operational plan it's call our way forward

[35:33] and it speaks to you know many many commitments within

[35:37] it but of which is to be more thoughtful and

[35:40] data driven verses reactionary all I I know I think

[35:44] we all agree that our region of all regions in

[35:46] Canada serves a culturally responsible approach to that

[35:51] and also putting partnerships number one and I think you

[35:56] know that not to say that lately is

[35:59] we recognize that a more balanced and collaborative approach to

[36:02] policing is a better way of achieving what this community

[36:06] needs and I think we are committed to ID and

[36:10] root causes of specific calls for service that we continue

[36:14] to get and finding a way to turn the tap

[36:16] down on that if we can by bringing our partners

[36:18] into it so ... again and other welcome at a

[36:21] lot of point an opportunity ... the offline with any

[36:24] any of you from a regional council to bring myself

[36:27] for my team to speak to this and that you

[36:30] know I think we were seen examples of that the

[36:33] first thing is we want to be informed by the

[36:35] community we serve there have been virtual town halls physical

[36:39] town halls I know ... council parishes holding one next

[36:42] week which we will be a part of with community

[36:44] leaders we want to be informed before we move forward

[36:49] on the planning under committee safety well being so it

[36:52] takes a lot of listening and we know if we

[36:55] come out of the gates with the plan that has

[36:57] not been informed by it does that are impacted by

[37:00] it we we clearly will be missing the mark and

[37:03] also ... are opening ourselves up to you ... criticism

[37:07] so this is a heavy heavy in front and informing

[37:10] ourselves with the public we serve ...

[37:14] the the next area is party populations and this is

[37:17] how we have termed a you know older adults use

[37:23] all all the populations that we see are potentially at

[37:26] risk inclusive of those affected by by real significant pressures

[37:31] and now not only do we launch our community with

[37:34] wellbeing strategy we are working on developing a youth action

[37:37] plan we know in the ages where we have seen

[37:40] it a certain footprint of policing egress from the school

[37:43] environment we need to find thoughtful ways of investing in

[37:47] our youth and when we look at communities that are

[37:51] under pressure ... yes we are they're responding to policing

[37:54] needs but we also need to you know bill resiliency

[37:58] along with our partners to mitigate the risk of them

[38:01] they see down the road all right not just that

[38:04] we have ... our mental health addiction strategy which we

[38:06] are a partner with the region on thank you for

[38:08] that which was launched last year our divisional mobilization teams

[38:12] which are officers that are strictly assigned to go and

[38:16] mitigate risk and the non emergent situation we know that

[38:21] a two hundred people in a region are responsible for

[38:23] two thousand calls for service and ... if there's a

[38:26] way that we could provide them supports an offramp them

[38:29] the the volume of work that we we see getting

[38:31] put back into areas of of upper tier are tremendous

[38:35] you see the little dots on the screen you know

[38:38] if you follow the the the colors of the committee

[38:41] safety well being plan this is how we map our

[38:44] activities in the spaces that we have not traditionally been

[38:47] we've almost always been in the red but never in

[38:49] the social development prevention and risk mitigation I want to

[38:53] commend the region for their finding of making sustainable funding

[38:58] for human trafficking and prevent human trafficking in assisting those

[39:02] ... exiting human trafficking this continues to be one of

[39:06] our our our largest parties in peel region and I'm

[39:09] pleased to say that we are one of the leading

[39:13] municipal

[39:13] all these regions in Canada with a collaborative multi sector

[39:19] approach to human trafficking it's not just seen as you

[39:23] know a few agencies doing that obviously more room to

[39:26] grow of course we recognize that ... offering people and

[39:30] connecting the services is a better way than us doing

[39:33] you know it's the definition of insanity

[39:36] repeatedly going back and resolve trying to resolve an issue

[39:38] with ... police officers only ... and expecting a different

[39:42] outcome

[39:45] it would be I would be remiss if I would

[39:47] I didn't just you know ensure that the region appeal

[39:51] Knowles that we intend on making seismic difference differences to

[39:56] policing ... I again this is not a soft on

[39:59] crime discussion this is you know us looking at policing

[40:05] through a public health lands in the shift to human

[40:08] rights centric approach and some of the work they were

[40:12] doing you'll see the seven key principles of our committee

[40:15] with the Ontario Human Rights Commission we are the only

[40:18] police agency in Canada to work voluntarily to implement ...

[40:23] size make systemic changes to how we do things and

[40:27] you know there's a lot of people that will say

[40:30] let's wait and see how that works but we we

[40:32] are seeing the shift and the shift is rooted in

[40:36] in those elements that are down below ... we again

[40:38] are not doing this on our along our own we

[40:41] have established a anti racism advisory committee and ... just

[40:46] like many police organizations we have lots of advisory committees

[40:50] in chiefs councils but this stands above and beyond that

[40:55] the committee's purpose is to provide meaningful and thoughtful ...

[40:58] the lands and recommendations to the work we're doing with

[41:01] the Ontario Human Rights Commission ... that is you know

[41:05] oriented eliminating systemic racism in and any human service and

[41:11] we're very thankful for ... the members there and they

[41:14] were all selected by members of the community and not

[41:17] by us

[41:20] again our emphasis on mental health and addictions continues to

[41:24] increase year over year year to date we're seeing an

[41:27] increase in requests for assistance for those that have ...

[41:31] mental health related ... crisis ... but we have a

[41:35] strategy which isn't just the you know responsive and and

[41:40] it has five years of focus I won't go through

[41:42] them but they are you know focused on supporting ...

[41:47] people in a different way us increasing our capacity to

[41:50] understand the challenges in the expanding our knowledge through evidence

[41:54] base and you know there's elements of it that are

[41:57] also focused on the well being of our own employees

[42:00] I know the region appeal will have one of the

[42:03] the only ... you know ...

[42:07] first responder wellness our treatment facilities in in Canada and

[42:13] then I think it's it's a great thing for us

[42:15] but it's all integrated in me see it not just

[42:17] in our work force but in the community we have

[42:19] been thankful to be working with our hospitals CMHA William

[42:23] Oscar for example has a hospital transfer of care protocol

[42:27] where we can bring somebody in in crisis into the

[42:30] hospital with a greater ease in it's more about the

[42:34] care of the individual the spin offs are that you

[42:36] know yes our officers are back in action a little

[42:40] quicker ... but you know we continue to work on

[42:44] this inclusive of supporting connection to services again the mobile

[42:50] crisis rapid response team still exist here ... I I

[42:53] need to say that

[42:55] if they don't respond in an officer respond only on

[42:58] their own eighty percent of the time we're taking somebody

[43:01] to the hospital if the crisis worker responds with an

[43:04] officer

[43:05] only twenty percent of the time somebody's going to hospital

[43:08] that means the right people are going to an emergency

[43:12] room unnecessarily we're not bringing people there and or were

[43:17] connecting people right to services right from the curbside

[43:23] one that will be of course of importance to all

[43:26] of us ... in our in and one that we

[43:30] hear quite a bit from our community is the response

[43:34] of island crime and ... you know we can spend

[43:37] a lot of time in this area but we have

[43:40] applied the community will being strategy to this as well

[43:44] you know we've talked about our ... intimate partner violence

[43:48] response which embeds fifty plus offices at the safes under

[43:52] appeal and that allows us to continue to do a

[43:56] referrals to the people that need off ramping and supports

[44:01] that are in the in the cycle of intimate partner

[44:03] violence survivors that are involved in it ... but part

[44:06] of our work has been advocacy with the province you

[44:09] will have seen ... recent ... for grant funding announcements

[44:12] that are allowing us to hire our allow peer P.

[44:16] to work with our partners to hire crisis workers at

[44:19] the city center people would strengthen our support for survivors

[44:22] of intimate partner violence and human trafficking we also received

[44:25] over three one point five million or three years which

[44:29] will go to a guns and gangs violence reduction strategy

[44:32] this investment is obviously there to help us continue to

[44:35] fight local gun and gang activity but some of the

[44:39] things that you may not see our our efforts to

[44:42] increase the complex care response teams which is now a

[44:45] social worker with a trained officer in the space of

[44:50] family and intimate partner violence that are on the road

[44:53] to end up at the doorstep of people so it's

[44:55] not just officers it's a another way to try to

[44:59] offer him some of the needs some of them are

[45:01] not critic critic criminal in nature and require ... other

[45:05] supports ... we have ... continue to invest in our

[45:11] efforts for the situation tables which meet with fifty a

[45:16] community partners weekly to find opportunities to support

[45:20] hold that are in our at risk ... some of

[45:24] the work that we're doing to approach a gang violence

[45:26] reduction is actually supporting the families and siblings of those

[45:31] involved in a violent activity which means that ... we

[45:36] are providing them pathways to education partnering with a shared

[45:40] and ... local businesses not for profit service social service

[45:44] agencies and youth related agencies to build stronger supports we're

[45:49] not the solution to that but we believe that strength

[45:52] in those communities ... you know in the years out

[45:56] even if it off ramps wanted to young people that

[45:58] have been exposed to gun and gang violence ... it

[46:01] takes them out of that the the that stream

[46:08] one that of course is a priority and it to

[46:12] all of us we have seen you know with the

[46:14] increase of volume of vehicles in our municipality ... not

[46:17] just the motor vehicle collisions but we as far as

[46:21] this weekend we had the this weekend alone two tragic

[46:25] deaths ... ... ... in

[46:28] they're both ... alcohol related of motor vehicle collisions you

[46:34] know sadly innocent people affected by a motor vehicle collisions

[46:37] that are involved with it a middle off with that

[46:41] alcohol and addictions involved so our efforts are not just

[46:45] on enforcement and I need to say that we've established

[46:49] to enforcement teams ... one of which is a safer

[46:54] roads team the safer roads team ... it is

[46:58] specifically focused on individuals that are chronic high risk offenders

[47:02] and drivers ... not we will have to go too

[47:06] far to have talked about the chisel ... family that

[47:09] ... we know that the driver involved I had a

[47:12] long history of repeated it infractions driver suspensions and if

[47:18] there's an opportunity for us to focus on them to

[47:20] mitigate them ... you know the results are very obvious

[47:25] but in addition to them we have a target enforcement

[47:28] team which goes to the communities in your and your

[47:31] wards especially when we get repeated complaints the use statistics

[47:35] community complaints and and target on the enforcement

[47:40] also responsible for some of the larger projects that you've

[47:42] seen ... pertain pertain to noise or the street racing

[47:46] or race we want to just also you know right

[47:49] from me ... affirm the value of speed enforcement cameras

[47:54] ... you know we all we all know that ...

[47:56] with some of the studies in the data are showing

[47:58] a reduction in driver behaviour over time a even up

[48:02] down to eight climbers and some of them which is

[48:04] you know may sound marginal but it is something for

[48:08] sure that we we are appreciative of because our limited

[48:12] number of officers can unfortunately be everywhere ... and you

[48:16] know we focused up people diction ... S. S. been

[48:20] a referral center here every and this is an element

[48:23] of our you know

[48:25] community safety well being lands is every person stop for

[48:29] an alcohol or substance related driving offense received at curbside

[48:36] referral to park and so that means within if they

[48:40] can send within twenty four hours they are connected right

[48:44] with an addictions counselor and not all the might take

[48:48] it but if you wanted to do ... it's an

[48:51] effort to offramp ... the cycle ... that we see

[48:55] ... repeatedly of re offending it in our community ...

[49:00] we are just for your wariness roughly ... stable with

[49:04] the number of fatalities that we've had year over year

[49:07] we have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities all of

[49:10] them are concerned for us and we continue to work

[49:13] closely with our partners with the OP P. ... in

[49:16] other jurisdictions because we know many of them ... our

[49:19] our trip traveling right across the GTA that are the

[49:22] more gregis

[49:25] I'd be remiss to not spend a small amount of

[49:28] time on one that has ... you know captured not

[49:30] just you and your region bar right across the GTA

[49:33] everybody's attention and I I wanna thank ... the board

[49:36] for their support in advocating for some of the spaces

[49:39] that are outside of the realm of ... what a

[49:42] policing can do we have had ... you know the

[49:46] first thing to distinguish that the north of the vehicles

[49:49] in carjackings all the diverse deal with vehicles and victimization

[49:53] are a really on our side to two different ...

[49:56] the buckets but are interrelated that the vehicles quickly are

[50:00] you know unattended vehicle that stolen ... would through the

[50:03] various means but ... the carjackings which you know I

[50:08] would you know safely see are far more egregious involve

[50:11] violence to extract the driver and team the vehicle they're

[50:16] both related in such that we're seeing trends that ...

[50:19] you know summer just use for the commission of other

[50:21] crimes but we're seeing many of them especially the high

[50:24] and motor vehicles ...

[50:26] involved in being explored exported for commercial ... the legal

[50:32] purposes so our response has always been you know

[50:37] in the investigative in the red and we've we continue

[50:39] to do an amazing job we have here in peel

[50:42] one of only two commercial auto dedicated out auto crime

[50:46] units in Ontario ... in that's part of the extension

[50:50] of our commitment they're involved with a variety of initiatives

[50:52] and projects join forces operations critically with the exportation of

[50:57] of them the one that you see in the last

[50:59] which you may have seen in this a quick YouTube

[51:01] video for those who have the time to search it

[51:04] but that one is ... appeal led one with our

[51:06] partners that resulted in the arrest of twenty four individuals

[51:10] for ... the thefts of our own vehicles we reserve

[51:15] river covered two hundred vehicles in that project ... worth

[51:19] over eleven million dollars ... there are top five that's

[51:22] why it's called high five vehicles which we continue to

[51:25] do as you move through the rings of the committee

[51:27] safety well being plan is you can start to see

[51:30] are you know it's not just a policing issue ...

[51:33] you know just form for numbers we are approximately you

[51:38] know probably four hundred stolen autos a month in the

[51:42] region appeal and ... that's that's a lot in getting

[51:47] to the manufactures and preventing them are ... not just

[51:50] the ... police related initiatives so our collaboration with ...

[51:54] other enforcement entities ... dealing with manufacturers we've not been

[51:58] invited to work with manufacturers at the design round table

[52:01] to find upstream mechanisms to prevent it ... clearly there

[52:05] are things that you know

[52:07] owners of these vehicles can do but you know we

[52:10] can't put it all on all owners and ... we

[52:12] know this frustration with the ability for us to to

[52:15] interdict these vehicles and to take them off ramped up

[52:19] in so we continue to you know use

[52:22] on the lands of what more can we do with

[52:24] other people to turn the dial down on these pressures

[52:28] our next commitment as you know is you know in

[52:31] many of you know that I've said this before is

[52:34] ... you know technologies not just about you know getting

[52:37] a shiny plated glass in front of an officer it's

[52:40] intended to be a platform to serve the community better

[52:43] better for us to do our job better to be

[52:45] more effective but also to improve the safety and well

[52:49] being and you know we have many principles that we

[52:52] are focusing on the six pillars are down below below

[52:55] deputy chief authority who's in charge or innovation infrastructure is

[52:59] here and he leads this with a quite an amazing

[53:03] team but you know the way we see it is

[53:06] you know if we can you know if I took

[53:08] the but it played a glass with their officers and

[53:10] you've heard me do the analogy before you can sign

[53:13] for a mortgage on your couch on an iPad but

[53:17] you know offices are still flipping through notebooks and having

[53:19] to drive thirty minutes into in the station to to

[53:22] in a research things you know right now we've got

[53:25] to the bility where ... through some applications we have

[53:29] our appeal police apps store which you know one of

[53:32] the apps is ... one which if we somebody just

[53:35] wants a hot meal and we're standing at a curbside

[53:38] you know downtown Brampton the officer can you know quickly

[53:42] jump on see what's open make the referral and a

[53:44] connection and connection but he too simple hot meal if

[53:48] they need a referral to service we can do it

[53:51] we've launched a two we interpretation of multi lingual the

[53:54] actually talk to somebody who speaks their language virtually all

[53:57] on the device and we're at we are ... a

[54:02] piloting with electronic notes many of you know from an

[54:05] accountability transparency and supporting the work we do in telling

[54:09] our story better we have been the largest police organization

[54:12] to fleet ... in a sort of spirit time body

[54:15] worn cameras ... and we're looking beyond that is our

[54:18] ability to we stream to a crisis worker in the

[54:21] communications center as a platform at of course supporting your

[54:25] community ... we have a real time operate

[54:28] in center at the peak times of policing were able

[54:30] to augment resources in a way that ... isn't defined

[54:34] just by officers within the division always being responsible for

[54:38] their work and the in a very quickly ... intimate

[54:41] feel like I'm speed dating through it it's just that

[54:43] I'm very conscious of the other delegations vine me and

[54:47] perhaps the questions and answers but

[54:50] are you appeal please is one of

[54:54] the only Canada's First police agencies to operate its own

[54:59] public safety broadband network that means all the data everything

[55:02] I told you this happening ... over hand held devices

[55:05] in vehicles is on our own is off on a

[55:08] rolling on her own network which is on the heels

[55:10] of the nine eleven commission report which recommends that first

[55:13] responders should have their own cyber secure and resilient network

[55:17] and you know just to be clear that it is

[55:20] also being used Halton and two point five million population

[55:23] are are benefiting from the US the us being able

[55:26] to get to their doorstep without outages ... that perhaps

[55:30] other municipalities may see

[55:33] and finally it be you know many of you heard

[55:36] me say if we're not good on the inside we're

[55:38] not good on the outside and

[55:41] you know this is our commitment to doing that our

[55:44] people is many of the initiatives you see you know

[55:48] the development of you know internal support networks for our

[55:51] officers ... ... expect respect workplace which is intended to

[55:57] make sure we we have a healthy and respectful workplace

[56:00] that we ... deconstruct you know some of the issues

[56:05] of the past that have affected many organizations across the

[56:09] policing spectrum an investment in leadership and leadership growth not

[56:12] nurturer people from ... organizational wellness standpoint and then a

[56:17] culture shift and you know the these may be the

[56:21] least interesting ones for you but they actually are the

[56:25] invest in our people so the moment they interact with

[56:28] the public whether they be on the phone or in

[56:31] person ... are you know the commitment to them being

[56:35] their best and ... you know I I need to

[56:38] say that the slides that you've all seen have all

[56:42] occurred you know these changes of all occurred in the

[56:44] last year and a half to you despite you know

[56:47] the pandemic ... and all the geopolitical pressures that we

[56:51] seen localized pressures is our commitment to continue to

[56:54] transform the organization so it looks and feels different than

[56:58] what chiefs might stand up and say before you on

[57:00] an annual report ...

[57:03] I'd you know I think it's important for all of

[57:05] us to say you know okay Mrs saying he's doing

[57:09] all these things that are changing the way we look

[57:13] at business our team is is is a pot committed

[57:17] to this transformation ... but ... anything we also after

[57:21] knowledge that we are ... without a doubt in one

[57:24] of the fastest growing regions and the growth impacts I'm

[57:28] sure you constituents all feel whether it's a delay in

[57:31] response or ... time waiting on calls we have one

[57:35] of the busiest nine on one communication centers ... in

[57:40] in Canada we are communications center dispatches for fire

[57:46] and all three municipalities and and police and also are

[57:50] the intake for all the paramedic call so you can

[57:53] imagine how busy that is then there is a need

[57:56] for growth expansion and ... as you see in the

[57:59] bottom right and regional council be well aware of ...

[58:02] and we're very thankful for the support of of region

[58:06] staff ... commissioner can for working with us on our

[58:10] long term facilities plan in our growth plans ... ...

[58:13] CO a bigger as been fantastic for for the conversations

[58:17] but we still operate with the for policing division model

[58:20] that we did in nineteen eighty one and the population

[58:22] has grown two hundred twenty seven percent and our work

[58:25] forces also grown significantly and so did the it would

[58:30] you know council needs to know that we have not

[58:35] kept up with that and we're making strong efforts to

[58:38] do that in in in your future that includes ...

[58:42] the new OP operational policing division ... which is in

[58:46] the northwest as well as seventy seven fifty is what

[58:49] we call Sir Robert peel it's right across from from

[58:51] ... in if you look at it it literally looks

[58:54] like it's ... out of the scene of NYPD Blue

[58:57] from about eighty years ago ... and it ... to

[59:01] say that it needs to be ... you know revitalized

[59:04] is ... is an understatement so we have ... move

[59:08] forward with the accelerating some of our capital projects ...

[59:12] then as the region also suffers in the municipal municipalities

[59:16] I also suffer with the cost of inflation and ...

[59:20] and we we are adjusting with that so ... it

[59:24] the growth is not only impact with our infrastructure but

[59:27] is also with the people you know part of being

[59:29] able to get more people out to the things that

[59:32] our community deserves to see an officer is a thoughtful

[59:35] way of ... making sure work force grows with the

[59:38] population growth but I want to assure you as you

[59:42] come then you here in the board comes to you

[59:44] with you know you know these are the needs for

[59:46] peel police at you have the most thoughtful leadership team

[59:51] looking out what else can we do you ... to

[59:53] solutions some of these pressures that are upon us

[59:56] as I wrap up ... you know in the middle

[59:59] you'll see the three tenths of our strapline is our

[1:00:02] people are working a community the boxes outside of them

[1:00:06] referred to what Nish says when he stands up in

[1:00:09] front of a microphone to say our aspirational statements and

[1:00:11] this is what our team is committed to you and

[1:00:13] you can see the multitude of activities that are deeply

[1:00:16] connected between it again we're not just swing at the

[1:00:19] fences were trying to stay committed to a vision in

[1:00:22] the plan and ... you know it takes they say

[1:00:25] it takes three to seven years to shift culture in

[1:00:28] organizations and strategy we're committed to it with regardless of

[1:00:33] you know the day to day pressures ... we're committed

[1:00:36] also to making sure that you feel that you have

[1:00:39] a response of police organization that says Hey you know

[1:00:43] we see the gap in delta there what can we

[1:00:45] do to of all ... we are bringing along three

[1:00:48] thousand four hundred members with us on this on this

[1:00:51] ... on this trajectory and ... I do want to

[1:00:55] say that we are extremely appreciative of the support that

[1:00:58] we've got from all of you individually ... is ...

[1:01:02] as we have conversations ... council itself ... the reason

[1:01:05] stuff I want to thank all of them for their

[1:01:07] continued support and friendship and in the board ... and

[1:01:11] ... we're pleased to be your police service and ...

[1:01:14] hopefully we continue to see the changes and ... the

[1:01:17] improvements as the time goes on ... and I would

[1:01:20] say that is on the backs of every civilian and

[1:01:23] sworn member of the organization and ... we're just pleased

[1:01:26] to be here today

[1:01:28] sure thank you

[1:01:29] chief thank you very much for your presentation we have

[1:01:32] questions councillor perish

[1:01:36] comments mostly ... thank you at the tone of the

[1:01:39] report was very positive I used to dread the police

[1:01:41] report coming in because they were bullets and guns and

[1:01:44] all kinds of nasty things you always manage to give

[1:01:48] us the news but you do it in up lifting

[1:01:50] weights so I appreciate that ... the second comment I

[1:01:54] want to make is

[1:01:55] regarding the community station at Westwood square it's had a

[1:01:59] really positive the fact nothing's perfect but it's had a

[1:02:02] very positive effect on multi

[1:02:04] as an example the first time we brought in Canada

[1:02:07] day up there the officer at the time said we

[1:02:09] needed twenty eight P. duty police officers I said why

[1:02:13] and she said consultant of what happened this year which

[1:02:16] you have a shortage of officers that signed up for

[1:02:19] V. duty and undervaluation as was done as to where

[1:02:23] they need to work and we were told we didn't

[1:02:25] need any we just needed to order ... two extra

[1:02:28] private security people there were no incidents it went beautifully

[1:02:32] self to go from requiring twenty eighteen telling us we

[1:02:36] had a good track record and you don't need any

[1:02:38] is a direct

[1:02:40] relationship with having the community station I really appreciate that

[1:02:44] my only question is ... I'm sure you've seen the

[1:02:46] article the start of the trial police force ... losing

[1:02:50] over four thousand cars and a couple of the people

[1:02:53] who lost Karsten we had devices on their cars and

[1:02:57] they call the police and they tracked their cars for

[1:03:00] two days but the police never showed up in the

[1:03:02] locations they were sent to or they go out there

[1:03:05] and of course we're gonna have you had any sort

[1:03:08] of reaction to that any spillover into people

[1:03:13] thank you councilperson appreciate the comments and before I answer

[1:03:17] the question we look forward to continuing to work and

[1:03:19] all this the hub in a variety of different opportunities

[1:03:22] as we move forward to be collaborative so thank you

[1:03:25] again for ... the willingness to to to work with

[1:03:28] us for sure and ... just to your question we

[1:03:30] were seeing the same frustration a council person then perhaps

[1:03:35] you know the guy I saw what happened in Toronto

[1:03:38] ... we we are seeing ...

[1:03:41] you know where the car owners have a quicker ability

[1:03:46] to respond to the stolen car and see where it's

[1:03:48] going we've had much success I think

[1:03:52] in you know there are some out liars and I

[1:03:55] don't want to they don't have the numbers in front

[1:03:57] of me but there are some out liars like the

[1:03:59] one particular article we recently saw in the in the

[1:04:02] in in the media where it's just gone on and

[1:04:05] on and it and it is a it's a it's

[1:04:07] a something definitely needs to be peeled back but we

[1:04:10] have also had opportunities where somebody has said to us

[1:04:14] eight I call it in you know a couple hours

[1:04:17] ago but I've got it sitting here at that intersection

[1:04:21] X. and Y. we have had success in responding to

[1:04:25] them I think it's probably a totality of factors that

[1:04:29] cause delays sometimes it's compounded by it moving into the

[1:04:34] next jurisdiction which then adds to the delay and you

[1:04:38] know I can't speak to the other municipalities it is

[1:04:41] a big frustration at Kelso perish and you know

[1:04:45] for example I think both both municipalities in Mississauga Brampton

[1:04:49] are roughly about two hundred stolen cars a month and

[1:04:52] if you do it per day it's all it's

[1:04:55] no it does the volume is is a research challenge

[1:04:59] said to get to them but ... yet that is

[1:05:02] definitely there ... we have encouraged citizens to not go

[1:05:07] get their cars although it's tempting because sometimes we have

[1:05:12] you know for example the deployed

[1:05:17] plainclothes officers seated to to watch the vehicle to see

[1:05:20] if we can affect an arrest and we don't sometimes

[1:05:23] know what the owner looks like which could cause the

[1:05:26] difficulty so you know those are some of the nuances

[1:05:28] and that is a point of frustration if they can

[1:05:31] get the Kerr and we can't what good are we

[1:05:33] right and I think we recognize that that that's an

[1:05:36] issue but it is really compounded by the volume and

[1:05:39] ... of of them so I'm not sure Francis your

[1:05:43] question but ... I can just the firm the for

[1:05:45] the the firm that that is that let's just say

[1:05:48] it's a it's a frustration for both the police and

[1:05:51] the community we love to get to them but

[1:05:53] the fact that there are ten a day makes it

[1:05:55] hard for you to send somebody out when somebody says

[1:05:57] I track my card is such and such an intersection

[1:06:00] because they'll be gone by the time you get there

[1:06:02] but I guess I found the article kind of unfair

[1:06:05] to the police and I was kind of hoping to

[1:06:07] see a rebuttal at some point but that's mostly trials

[1:06:12] it was that it's focused on their police department so

[1:06:15] I guess they're not into the public relations business but

[1:06:17] anyway I really want to thank you ... super thank

[1:06:20] you for coming out next week communities very excited and

[1:06:24] ... I don't think you'll get a lot of concerns

[1:06:26] about stolen cars but you'll get other concerns as well

[1:06:29] and I know you'll be well prepared thank you very

[1:06:31] much thank you counsel thank you Mr Thompson

[1:06:36] yes so here here's challenge I have for you the

[1:06:39] speed enforcement cameras all working extremely well Alton Caledon into

[1:06:44] peel challenges we need more of them and it sure

[1:06:48] takes the law lifting off from your officers every day

[1:06:52] I have one particular individual that lives in Brampton came

[1:06:54] and met with me wanted to talk about the situation

[1:06:57] and ... Campbell our camels crosses should say and ...

[1:07:01] when he arrived he had twenty three invoices from the

[1:07:05] speed camera

[1:07:06] and what he was doing a hundred twenty three to

[1:07:09] forty like it's a forty through there

[1:07:11] I'm any wanted to know all of what I could

[1:07:14] help him I like he'd pay for the high one

[1:07:17] in the or if we took the high one low

[1:07:18] one off eBay the rest I said no there's no

[1:07:21] deal here you have not learned to slow down on

[1:07:24] our roads it works

[1:07:26] question I have going forward this is something that the

[1:07:29] police services board can work with because you have OPP

[1:07:32] there is well with the region appeal staff and the

[1:07:35] local municipalities on how we can start to build a

[1:07:38] plan common for the budget on how we can start

[1:07:42] to incorporate these because they will pay for themselves over

[1:07:45] time but let's develop a plan on how to start

[1:07:48] to install them everywhere in even if we just have

[1:07:51] the box without the camera it works it slows traffic

[1:07:55] down better than what you can these things work twenty

[1:07:58] four seven officers have other things that the other commitments

[1:08:02] we need to do we need to work smarter you've

[1:08:04] definitely proven that in your report what I'm putting the

[1:08:08] challenges yes what can we do since you're the biggest

[1:08:11] part of the force but I can occur courage that

[1:08:14] OPP will be part of it but we all need

[1:08:16] to work together with our lower tiers because we're doing

[1:08:19] the court enforcement but now with the changes that the

[1:08:22] province for these AS sees that they just pay the

[1:08:25] fines what can we do to start to because it's

[1:08:29] gonna make our community safer what can we do to

[1:08:31] do to ...

[1:08:35] hi I guess to implement this technology start to build

[1:08:38] up for twenty three going forward ... I think it's

[1:08:42] extremely important I know we have little bits and pieces

[1:08:45] but we need to really take now the province has

[1:08:47] given us the tools

[1:08:49] let's let's figure out how to implement it and that's

[1:08:52] why I'm saying the police services board needs to be

[1:08:54] a big part of it because we got to to

[1:08:56] police forces that we need to work with to slow

[1:08:59] traffic down and peel and that's our biggest challenge in

[1:09:01] Caledon is when you got high speed LEED stacks and

[1:09:05] sleeves the frills and I'm sure it's like that everywhere

[1:09:08] of drunk driving we we we can't do but if

[1:09:12] we can force people to slow down even with drunk

[1:09:14] drivers it's going to make our roads safer

[1:09:17] thank you your ship and you know I do first

[1:09:19] of all let me say that we absolutely would support

[1:09:21] a collaborative ... in discussion on this because I think

[1:09:26] now that you not only has the province of ported

[1:09:28] it and the municipality's been added now for a little

[1:09:31] while so all the back in infrastructure work full parts

[1:09:33] process is there which we know is one that we

[1:09:36] had to work out ... I think the ability for

[1:09:38] us to to not just look at what we're that

[1:09:41] we're the needs for it what does it look like

[1:09:44] what can we do with the data for example on

[1:09:47] somebody like if Nish has fifteen of them you know

[1:09:50] is their ability for the data roll over to us

[1:09:53] for our in our targeted teams or with the OP

[1:09:56] so the answer is we'd happily entertain the ... Koval

[1:10:01] and the art of possibility for that

[1:10:03] I know we're running out of time on this to

[1:10:05] even bring forward as a motion we can we just

[1:10:07] do it is direction that we can see what we

[1:10:09] can do to leave that ... Mr Jerry your sit

[1:10:11] on the board but what we can do to start

[1:10:13] implementing this program please thank you

[1:10:18] councillor desco

[1:10:24] share great to see you chief Nash

[1:10:27] I always find your updates really interesting and

[1:10:32] Russell and I am and I

[1:10:35] I think you're more progressive them sometimes but

[1:10:39] but that with legislation and funding allows for and that

[1:10:42] but I'm really glad to see the direction that again

[1:10:46] ...

[1:10:48] again I don't want to us to repeat too much

[1:10:50] of what's already been mentioned by the stolen car situation

[1:10:54] and ... and this is just it's truly incredible but

[1:10:58] seeing I guess first hand some of the work that

[1:11:02] appeals during honest it terms of

[1:11:05] to this it's just it's just the sheer volume seems

[1:11:08] incredible but I just wanted to mention ... just to

[1:11:12] see if there's other avenues I know while the Mayor

[1:11:17] just mention about that ... it

[1:11:20] privacy for us were automated speed enforcement

[1:11:24] the general to staff but also I would also see

[1:11:28] if we might be able to leverage that into

[1:11:32] you want to do some work but more technology like

[1:11:35] decibel counters and things like that hands police officers and

[1:11:39] also push for a stronger regulation as we have that

[1:11:42] I I around the regional table in the class and

[1:11:44] also what rather Mississauga council table as well I think

[1:11:48] there's a real opportunity here to do that she also

[1:11:52] will I believe in the news this morning or yesterday

[1:11:56] ... mayor Tory it's Ralph is ... to to get

[1:12:00] more active but ... my fear with what he wants

[1:12:03] to do is sign up I truly don't believe that

[1:12:06] that but our police forces have the right tools in

[1:12:09] place to deal with that situations like this where you're

[1:12:13] mentioning changes that the blast happened decades ago and ...

[1:12:18] and what we're seeing right now is change that's happening

[1:12:22] so I just might ask that ...

[1:12:26] and again I don't know that it's direction or anything

[1:12:28] but it's just baby out ... you know to

[1:12:32] through through our council but I think maybe it's just

[1:12:34] something when you're talking to out to the province and

[1:12:38] give us some ideas to a charge of how we

[1:12:40] can help you for things for example like a modified

[1:12:44] mufflers situation that I know what you're dealing with the

[1:12:47] budget

[1:12:49] so ... perhaps that's a question for you chief Nash

[1:12:53] is there any way that so but again we're getting

[1:12:55] into end of council time and lame but is there

[1:12:58] anything that we might be able to do to able

[1:13:00] to further assist you and your and your team

[1:13:04] absolutely thank you very much for both ... questions and

[1:13:07] on the stolen car when I think I believe chair

[1:13:09] Chad I would like to comment a little bit on

[1:13:11] it and maybe if I can deal with the second

[1:13:12] part on resourcing first of all thanks for your willingness

[1:13:15] to support yes you know we we do we have

[1:13:17] a limited number of of ... tools to help allow

[1:13:21] for enforcement and I can certainly speak to my team

[1:13:24] you know I would never turn away council support for

[1:13:28] this no operational ... items but we we would like

[1:13:33] to talk to my team and perhaps you can come

[1:13:35] back with an opportunity for you know the same way

[1:13:37] council's affirmed support for you know mental health you know

[1:13:42] the road safety U. one we've been clearly working on

[1:13:45] with the vision zero but as it gets down to

[1:13:48] the practical elements that allow us to do things that

[1:13:51] are quality of life like noise related issues with the

[1:13:54] absolutely there are some solutions that we can I can

[1:13:56] chat with my team and then for the stolen car

[1:13:58] situation I think ... you know there are opportunities with

[1:14:01] the transportation ministry institution ... advocacy that manufacturers ... it

[1:14:07] banks insurance companies we have a map of activities which

[1:14:11] the chair has been a privy to and would love

[1:14:13] to turn it over to him to talk to

[1:14:16] thank you councillor for offering the supposed to endorse to

[1:14:19] the heart of that this is one of the big

[1:14:22] ... issue we have strange throughout the GTA and we

[1:14:26] accomplished that in peeling or apple and different people ...

[1:14:29] board meeting ... we put forward a motion and ...

[1:14:33] were and and in the last hour board meeting we

[1:14:36] received a report ... I'm not sure councillor if you

[1:14:40] received the letter ... from me on behalf of the

[1:14:43] bodes ... dealt with the copy we don't to down

[1:14:45] to all as BP's and MPs are or how we

[1:14:48] can work together because this is a bigger problem just

[1:14:51] in this bigger than just in this region because when

[1:14:55] you see the majority of the recall are being explored

[1:14:59] out of the country in the end to the containers

[1:15:02] so just ... when the CESS facts are

[1:15:08] R. three percent of the containers Park leaving the leaving

[1:15:12] the country on that declaration kind of the submitted sometime

[1:15:14] three to six months after the containers are already left

[1:15:18] the country that is one of the main reason beside

[1:15:22] are you obviously we need to work with the manufacturer

[1:15:26] after the meal you lose the key are so hard

[1:15:30] to get and how somebody come and within ten seconds

[1:15:33] stick your we could always obviously there's a bit of

[1:15:35] pressure on on the police ... officers working there ...

[1:15:40] but ... to gather I'm sure are if you are

[1:15:44] maybe I can speak to you after our our our

[1:15:46] wonderful deputy deputy Milosevic can ... get ... get to

[1:15:51] you all the data all the **** is all the

[1:15:53] work we are doing in regards to the artefact thank

[1:15:56] you

[1:15:57] okay well thanks so much yes absolutely

[1:16:00] welcome that would be great thank you very much

[1:16:04] you cancer cetyl

[1:16:07] thank you Mr joiner and the thank you Jeeves for

[1:16:10] being here and as always ... bringing us a very

[1:16:14] solid plan or up for Jill regional police not not

[1:16:19] just a litany of problems and ...

[1:16:24] M. statistics because ... you're you're actually doing something to

[1:16:28] tackle those statistics that I think that's what's so critical

[1:16:32] ... one of the one of the areas that I

[1:16:37] have been the most concerned about is the youth issue

[1:16:42] and I know you are dealing as much as you

[1:16:44] can to continue those connections with you I think one

[1:16:49] of the worst things that the school boards it was

[1:16:52] very short sighted ... was to remove the police and

[1:16:56] remove remove all connections with the police with with the

[1:17:01] schools

[1:17:03] and I hate to think how many young people have

[1:17:06] lost out because of that

[1:17:09] ... you know that some of the stories that I've

[1:17:12] heard from principals and teachers that ... you know the

[1:17:17] program was an excellent one it meter provision we all

[1:17:20] know that but you were working on that and I

[1:17:24] think to ... you know pulling the program totally and

[1:17:28] not even allowing a police officer to put one foot

[1:17:31] on school property and has ... has created a bigger

[1:17:36] problem than what I think anyone on any of the

[1:17:40] boards of education could have foreseen and as I said

[1:17:43] I've heard about it from my community I've heard about

[1:17:46] it from parents from teachers and from from police officers

[1:17:50] so ... I'm hoping that with the new board coming

[1:17:55] it backs term that there will be some ... more

[1:17:58] rational thinking and ... some more responsibility by the trustees

[1:18:05] of the board of education to work with the police

[1:18:07] not against them because I think that was probably the

[1:18:10] worst thing that could have happened ... I think you

[1:18:13] are open from what we've seen you are very open

[1:18:16] to working with people and with the community and ...

[1:18:21] and with the educators and I think that's what is

[1:18:23] desperately desperately needed otherwise we're you're not going to be

[1:18:27] able to ...

[1:18:30] you're not gonna be able to support the youth in

[1:18:32] the community which I know you want to do and

[1:18:36] so I think that's a very important thing going forward

[1:18:41] ...

[1:18:43] the community you know I praise to so many times

[1:18:46] for the community well being safety well being plan the

[1:18:49] peel regional police brought forward ... you were such an

[1:18:52] integral part of our regional community safety well being plan

[1:18:56] but to take the further step and put it into

[1:18:59] policing and going back and looking at those root causes

[1:19:03] particularly of those roads the challenge these

[1:19:07] I think was was such a very proactive approach and

[1:19:11] I really applaud you and ... the staff will come

[1:19:14] forward and that of course I have to recognize inspector

[1:19:17] general's

[1:19:19] overall the works I work very closely with him on

[1:19:21] the road safety issues ... also ... one of the

[1:19:26] things you didn't mention was how engaged your officers are

[1:19:30] with our various committees around the region that municipalities on

[1:19:34] our roads into committee in Mississauga on our vision zero

[1:19:37] task force here in the region and the input and

[1:19:41] the collaboration that we see there is some is just

[1:19:44] phenomenal and stuff we would be doing it without you

[1:19:48] I want to respond to ... comments that ... the

[1:19:53] Mayor Thompson made about the speed cameras because ... week

[1:19:58] ... Allen week we did have been killed police and

[1:20:01] cheapness were engaged in this we had a round table

[1:20:04] with the ministry of transportation earlier this year ... where

[1:20:09] we have been with the region has been very proactive

[1:20:15] on trying to get the province to open up the

[1:20:19] pilot program into a full fledged program that would give

[1:20:23] us a lot more flexibility in how and where we

[1:20:27] apply those speed cameras and we do expect the report

[1:20:31] from the province to come the Ministry assured us of

[1:20:34] it becoming in September or early fall so hopefully going

[1:20:39] forward will be able to have more options and ...

[1:20:44] he said on that task force as well and we're

[1:20:46] at the meeting so you know is a lot of

[1:20:48] collaboration going on we've been very very strong advocates here

[1:20:52] at the region and I know in Mississauga for more

[1:20:56] flexibility in the speed camera program and ...

[1:21:01] it aligns I am confident that starting in the fall

[1:21:04] we will have but one of the other things at

[1:21:07] cheap that we really really need you to be a

[1:21:11] very strong advocate from a policing perspective it is for

[1:21:15] a provincial vision zero strategy

[1:21:17] and we reiterate to the provincial to the minister into

[1:21:21] the ... to the MTO staff how important that is

[1:21:25] for the province and at a recent ... OTC version

[1:21:29] zero seven are that I was out a couple weeks

[1:21:31] ago ... you know we have a lot of advocacy

[1:21:34] going on with organizations around the province and agencies and

[1:21:40] we need we need the policing to be very strong

[1:21:43] on that as well so thank you for all your

[1:21:46] doing we need to keep working together on these because

[1:21:49] it is a partnership and ...

[1:21:53] consolations it it's such a great report not all good

[1:21:58] ... you know we we have to look at the

[1:22:00] statistics that there are so many issues that you're dealing

[1:22:03] with but I really like the way that your ...

[1:22:07] that you're prepared to deal with them so thank you

[1:22:10] thank you counsel thank you that concludes the speakers just

[1:22:14] a point of emphasis for that or what some of

[1:22:15] my colleagues have said number one she can or so

[1:22:17] proud when you talk about community safety and well being

[1:22:20] and as chair or I'm particularly proud as two friends

[1:22:22] number one one of the few jurisdictions that have implemented

[1:22:25] ours and it's working when so many were given delays

[1:22:28] because of Corbett but number two chief the point of

[1:22:30] emphasis that I always make for taxpayers as it's been

[1:22:33] proven over and over again the introduction you do with

[1:22:37] the frontend saves six times the amount of having to

[1:22:41] clean up the mess afterwards so I even tell people

[1:22:44] that are humanists are aren't humanness that don't care if

[1:22:47] you don't care about others spend the bulk up front

[1:22:49] and let's help somebody today instead of incarcerating them years

[1:22:52] later at six times the cost and money we can

[1:22:56] buy money for officers why don't we have more money

[1:22:58] up front but that's the challenge we have the second

[1:23:00] point yep I want to make it I'm so glad

[1:23:02] church at the mention this you know it's been said

[1:23:04] in sports the greatest accolades any athlete loves more than

[1:23:07] anything is when they went awards proffered by their peers

[1:23:12] and she for you in shorter to become the chief

[1:23:14] of chiefs to become the head of ... cap I

[1:23:16] mean that's just such a remarkable reflection on you and

[1:23:20] peel and I want to tell you this last time

[1:23:22] leave which a little sign posts along the way I'm

[1:23:25] I was looking at the conference coming up for the

[1:23:27] chiefs that's imminent and it might have been using hyperbole

[1:23:30] years ago thirty years ago the annual conference of chiefs

[1:23:33] of chiefs in North America the keynote speech might have

[1:23:36] been ... the latest paramilitary equipment and why you need

[1:23:39] more of it well that's thirty years ago chief under

[1:23:42] your leadership the theme of the chiefs of chiefs conferences

[1:23:46] coming up and I'm paraphrasing is fostering public trust and

[1:23:50] confidence in policing and there's your sign post along the

[1:23:54] way of still a lot of conversations to come but

[1:23:58] because of people like you and peel at the vanguard

[1:24:01] very proud of the direction we're going in so well

[1:24:04] done to you I have a motion here moved by

[1:25:15] all of the delegates who are here to present today

[1:25:18] ... as well as those who submitted written submissions related

[1:25:22] to this agenda item

[1:25:24] important to listen to stakeholders both those who need the

[1:25:26] services of those who may be impacted by the services

[1:25:29] in our community

[1:25:31] our combined efforts and commitment are necessary to help save

[1:25:34] lives that may otherwise be lost or severely impacted

[1:25:38] report today provides an update on planning that's under way

[1:25:41] to establish supervised consumption services in P. all

[1:25:44] we're asking for your endorsement today to proceed with the

[1:25:47] next steps of planning and community engagement to help make

[1:25:50] these services available in peel soon to address rising drug

[1:25:53] toxicity deaths in harm's in our community

[1:25:57] the report from council reflects priority work that has restarted

[1:26:00] out of the pandemic in response to the growing number

[1:26:03] of drug toxicity deaths in our community this work is

[1:26:06] part of the peel opioid strategy that was endorsed by

[1:26:08] council as the board of health at the end of

[1:26:11] two thousand nineteen just before the cover nineteen pandemic

[1:26:15] if you look at strategy works across four pillars of

[1:26:17] prevention harm reduction treatment and enforcement and justice the immediate

[1:26:22] focuses on harm reduction interventions which are known to prevent

[1:26:26] drug toxicity overdoses supervised consumption services are an additional tool

[1:26:31] that will strengthen people's current harm reduction services which include

[1:26:34] provision of safer drug use and equipment and supplies safe

[1:26:38] sharps disposal naloxone distribution and training an overdose education and

[1:26:42] response training

[1:26:44] work across all four pillars and in alignment with other

[1:26:47] strategies including community safety and well being we'll continue to

[1:26:51] advance to support a comprehensive response to the current crisis

[1:26:59] he also facing a growing drug toxicity crisis with six

[1:27:02] hundred and fifty four five lives lost in the last

[1:27:05] five years

[1:27:06] with six hundred and fifty for preventable deaths occurring over

[1:27:09] the last five years our drug toxicity crisis continues to

[1:27:12] worsen along with the rest of Ontario

[1:27:15] two thousand twenty one was the region's deadliest year for

[1:27:18] opioid related toxicity deaths a hundred and eighty nine people

[1:27:22] which is a hundred thirty three percent more than in

[1:27:23] two thousand seventeen just five years prior

[1:27:27] well the opioid crisis impacts individuals from all walks of

[1:27:30] life overdose deaths are most severely impacting young people between

[1:27:34] twenty five and forty four years of age leading to

[1:27:37] many years of life lost

[1:27:39] the drug supply is increasingly toxic with a significant majority

[1:27:42] of deaths involving fentanyl and other highly potent compounds

[1:27:46] of the many lives lost in the last two years

[1:27:48] many people are using drugs alone when someone's alone there's

[1:27:51] no opportunity to assess risks with resuscitation administer naloxone or

[1:27:55] call for emergency services

[1:27:58] the need for more immediate intervention to prevent drug toxicity

[1:28:01] deaths is clear supervised consumption services are shown to reduce

[1:28:04] overdose deaths and other drug related harms the improve and

[1:28:08] save lives

[1:28:12] in December two thousand nineteen along with endorsement of the

[1:28:15] fuel of the I'd strategy regional council as the board

[1:28:18] of health endorsed the peel supervised consumption needs assessment and

[1:28:22] feasibility study or peel a C. a study

[1:28:26] the study was completed by peel public health in partnership

[1:28:28] with more oil health and community services and the Canadian

[1:28:31] mental health association feel different branch to determine the need

[1:28:35] acceptability feasibility an operational preferences for us yes appeal

[1:28:40] I thought to explore the perspectives of people with lived

[1:28:42] and living experience of substance use other community members and

[1:28:46] key stakeholders through three components a survey for people with

[1:28:50] lived and living experience of substance use a survey for

[1:28:53] the general community which is open to anyone in peel

[1:28:56] who's interested in participating and key informant interviews from five

[1:28:59] sectors healthcare social services government to municipal services police and

[1:29:05] emergency services and the business and community sector

[1:29:09] key findings from the study were that there is a

[1:29:10] need for us yes appeal particularly concentrated in the downtown

[1:29:14] Brampton in Cooksville Mississauga areas and the people who use

[1:29:17] substances appeal would use us yes if they were available

[1:29:21] some key considerations noted in the study include that the

[1:29:24] location must be accessible by people who use substances

[1:29:28] April security and community safety measures must be in place

[1:29:31] and community engagement or on site selection is important

[1:29:37] through the report today were seeking approval and and term

[1:29:39] funding to progress to the next steps in the establishment

[1:29:42] of a smaller scale urgent public health needs site for

[1:29:44] supervised consumption

[1:29:47] in order to provide supervised consumption services an exemption as

[1:29:50] required under the controlled drugs and substances act

[1:29:53] the federal government introduced the urgent public health needs site

[1:29:56] process which allows community to complete communities to complete a

[1:30:00] simpler exception application to provide services more immediately while the

[1:30:04] usual exception is pursued

[1:30:06] several jurisdictions have used this expedited process including Toronto and

[1:30:10] most recently Timmons which just earlier this week began operations

[1:30:14] of a municipally funded urgent public health needs site while

[1:30:17] they pursue longer term provincial funding

[1:30:20] applying for an urgent public health needs site will allow

[1:30:22] people to implement implement a site sooner

[1:30:25] to address the urgent need within our community well pursuing

[1:30:28] provincial funding and considering future models for us yes

[1:30:36] we are recommending that more oil health and community services

[1:30:39] be the lead operator of the internet service

[1:30:42] Moyles nearly three decades decades of experience and expertise providing

[1:30:45] harm reduction services at the client level and close involvement

[1:30:49] in substance use work alongside peel public health making the

[1:30:52] right choice

[1:30:53] where would work closely with welfare community health services to

[1:30:56] provide the necessary clinical supports on site

[1:30:59] well Ford has specialized expertise in clinical service provision and

[1:31:03] experience operating from harm reduction lands as well as serving

[1:31:06] the population of people who use substances appeal

[1:31:09] boy well fort through their networks and relationships with other

[1:31:12] providers we use robust referral pathways to link clients to

[1:31:16] other health and social services as needed

[1:31:22] you can see 3 examples of existing sites in Ontario

[1:31:26] there are thirty eight supervised consumption sites in Canada was

[1:31:28] the first opening in two thousand and three

[1:31:31] since two thousand seventeen twenty three sites have been established

[1:31:34] in eleven communities across Ontario

[1:31:37] as we consider a suitable location for an initial site

[1:31:39] in peel we want to find something that integrates well

[1:31:42] in the community

[1:31:43] although the exterior sites vary across jurisdictions the services insider

[1:31:47] similar and consist of an intake in a waiting area

[1:31:50] supervised consumption spaces and post consumption after space after Kirsty's

[1:31:55] supervision is provided by harm reduction workers peers and nurses

[1:31:58] who are trained and ready to respond should an overdose

[1:32:00] occur

[1:32:02] support and referral services occur as needed within the setting

[1:32:06] space permitting there's often some degree of clinical care on

[1:32:09] site such as wound care and support for addictions treatment

[1:32:13] referral if clients are interested in those supports housing supports

[1:32:17] and testing for HIV or hepatitis

[1:32:23] in March two thousand twenty two a supervised consumption services

[1:32:26] planning and implementation table was established with stakeholders who work

[1:32:30] closely with people who use substances

[1:32:33] public health work with this table as well as multiple

[1:32:35] internal regional partners has resulted in the report and recommendations

[1:32:38] before you today

[1:32:40] on this slide you can see a summary of the

[1:32:41] plan next steps from left to right the purple houses

[1:32:45] where we are today with council approval will continue to

[1:32:47] work to identify site location options complete site specific neighborhood

[1:32:52] engagement and an advising and working with the local municipality

[1:32:56] and councillors to secure a site

[1:32:59] operator contract negotiation applications for the federal exceptional continue during

[1:33:03] this time into January twenty twenty three

[1:33:06] we also work in parallel on the application process and

[1:33:09] advocacy for sustained provincial funding and the full federal exemption

[1:33:14] the yellow arrow at the bottom indicates a recognition of

[1:33:16] the importance of continued community engagement and input the need

[1:33:20] for action is real and as you can tell from

[1:33:22] the many people delegating today in the interest in this

[1:33:24] item the number of people dying in experiencing harms as

[1:33:28] days and weeks past continues to increase

[1:33:31] we're committed to doing things the right way and with

[1:33:33] a level conversation and engagement that also allow services to

[1:33:36] become available in time to make a difference

[1:33:38] we will keep council regularly informed as we move through

[1:33:41] the process and engage specific ward councillors more directly for

[1:33:44] potential sites in their communities

[1:33:47] we will report back formally to council on us yes

[1:33:49] operations in the first half of two thousand twenty three

[1:33:55] this is a shared journey critical to this work is

[1:33:57] constructive honest solutions based discussions with stakeholders our hope is

[1:34:02] that you council's the board of health provide us with

[1:34:05] the approval to move ahead with our plan next steps

[1:34:07] including these multimodal conversations and interactions

[1:34:11] the recommended interim solution is needed to help address current

[1:34:13] drug toxicity Dustin substance use related harms in our community

[1:34:18] the on this will continue to explore future models of

[1:34:20] us yes as part of the broader harm reduction approach

[1:34:23] and learning from our into a model

[1:34:26] we're committed to advocacy an application to the province for

[1:34:28] sustainable funding

[1:34:31] as you know and was reinforce for all of us

[1:34:33] through cove in the needs of the residents appeal are

[1:34:35] unique the current proposal for the interim supervised consumption services

[1:34:39] takes into account our current context and the needs related

[1:34:42] to drug toxicity in peel

[1:34:44] I'm hopeful that through your careful consideration and support will

[1:34:47] be able to move through this next best step together

[1:34:50] to meet the needs of address rising drug toxicity deaths

[1:34:53] and harms in our community thank you for your attention

[1:34:56] and I'm happy to take questions now or return at

[1:34:58] the end of the delegations I'm gonna ask council for

[1:35:00] any questions they have at this time before we go

[1:35:03] to the delegates themselves so questions of clarification at this

[1:35:06] time I have a list and sentiment Quemby concert America

[1:35:09] councillor descente

[1:35:13] thank you very much chair I have no questions I

[1:35:15] do wish to speak to the report when it comes

[1:35:17] forward I will join the list mayor Crombie questions at

[1:35:20] this time

[1:35:23] a little bit of a preamble first if I may

[1:35:26] and then a question or two I'm quite sharp to

[1:35:29] the increase of drug use particularly in peel region of

[1:35:33] course Brampton Mississauga are becoming very large cities and ...

[1:35:38] unfortunately we are also suffering from issues that plague large

[1:35:42] cities which include homelessness which include drug use and and

[1:35:47] of course increase mental health was quite surprised to see

[1:35:50] the increase hundred thirty three percent since twenty twenty one

[1:35:54] and that there have been six hundred and fifty four

[1:35:56] deaths and we know we know that our young people

[1:36:00] are primarily ... being impacted from it so it I

[1:36:06] think we have a duty to respond

[1:36:09] I you know it it's an unpleasant issue and nobody

[1:36:12] wants it in their backyard however we it is incumbent

[1:36:16] on us to act and be responsible there are those

[1:36:19] individuals that need our help if I may share an

[1:36:21] anecdote ... my daughter who you're allowed to trash a

[1:36:26] ... the lives downtown right next door to that site

[1:36:30] you showed interrogative and of course I was very concerned

[1:36:34] when my beautiful twenty five year old daughter moved there

[1:36:37] and saw what was next door and I have to

[1:36:39] shift I have to share that there were no issues

[1:36:42] they have she has seen no issues other haven't been

[1:36:46] people heiau decide to people there were only receiving assistance

[1:36:51] ... and being cared for and gave me a lot

[1:36:54] of comfort and confidence and I think that particularly in

[1:36:58] Mississauga where we're where we are seeing the growing rates

[1:37:01] of homelessness particularly in the downtown in Cooksville import credit

[1:37:06] league few areas it is important for us to act

[1:37:09] so my question to you would be aware in Mississauga

[1:37:13] would you suggest the initial pilots ... site B. BBEE

[1:37:18] located

[1:37:21] through the chair thank you bear for your comments ...

[1:37:24] we're following our as you know we have a multi

[1:37:27] modal stipulated overdose ... surveillance system and so we continue

[1:37:31] to follow a number of indicators beyond death so also

[1:37:35] hospitalizations ... where are her reduction teams ... are being

[1:37:39] called for service ... as well as understanding the community

[1:37:44] through people who use substances themselves the data certainly shows

[1:37:47] that there's a concentrated need around Cooksville Mississauga ... and

[1:37:52] we would propose to look there first ... or certainly

[1:37:56] ... in the region of Cooksville that would be accessible

[1:37:58] to ... to people these substances and ... also look

[1:38:04] here fully at as you suggest ... down along lakeshore

[1:38:07] certainly moving into that southeast area of Mississauga there are

[1:38:10] some elevated indicators ... but the current most geographically concentrated

[1:38:14] area is in the Clarksville area

[1:38:17] what we have a very dedicated counselor there and I

[1:38:20] know she has some strong opinions about this and I

[1:38:22] know that you will work very closely with her to

[1:38:25] find the right location thank you

[1:38:28] thank you

[1:38:29] thank you carrying on the questions councillor tomorrow

[1:38:34] thank you chair and

[1:38:37] I guess so

[1:38:39] we already had a conversation so you were sort of

[1:38:43] aware of

[1:38:45] some of the issues that I'm concerned about to make

[1:38:49] sure that we have a balance and I know what

[1:38:52] I told you some data that I was going to

[1:38:55] share with you have not forgotten so I will get

[1:38:58] to that to activate it ... you know ...

[1:39:04] you can't hide from the problem you have to try

[1:39:08] and solve it I get that what I don't want

[1:39:10] to as we solve the problem and that we don't

[1:39:14] create other problems

[1:39:16] and that is my main concern so one of the

[1:39:19] things that I would ask for is that

[1:39:22] you know how these safe injection sites I think a

[1:39:26] distributed model makes more sense to me I'd rather than

[1:39:30] concentrating it in one part of Mississauga are one part

[1:39:33] of people because then it exasperated problem if you know

[1:39:39] so if if there's multiple sites that are you know

[1:39:43] it one place doesn't become the mask off all right

[1:39:47] so I I think you guys should seriously look at

[1:39:50] distributed sites and mark one site aren't and Jack yeah

[1:39:55] and I looked like to understand more what is your

[1:39:58] plan to consult with the local residents ... hi the

[1:40:03] residential area as well as there is a program to

[1:40:06] revitalize main street and so what is your plan to

[1:40:11] collaborate and consult with the local businesses and local so

[1:40:15] that would be really really important because often ... these

[1:40:20] people are impacted as well though they don't always come

[1:40:22] in delegates sometimes they do sometimes they don't so we

[1:40:26] will be yeah all I'm saying is

[1:40:29] it's a problem I know we need to address it

[1:40:31] I want to make sure that as we address and

[1:40:34] we balance all other interests as well and then we

[1:40:38] make the extra effort to listen to the concerns of

[1:40:41] people who may not come out and delegated council either

[1:40:45] because you know they don't have the resources or the

[1:40:49] time for even the information sometimes to be able to

[1:40:52] come and delegates here and then the fact that matters

[1:40:55] so those would be my asks and I really would

[1:40:59] ask you to consider distributed model

[1:41:03] since there are pockets thank you and everywhere thank you

[1:41:08] I mean mass thank you any comments Dr big thank

[1:41:12] you for this year and thank you council tomorrow as

[1:41:14] well ... for our conversations on this ... prior I

[1:41:18] think what has come through in in all of the

[1:41:20] conversations we've started and continued through this process has been

[1:41:24] that there really is general support for this intervention in

[1:41:29] an understanding of the need in our community as well

[1:41:31] as an acknowledgement that there will be challenges to balancing

[1:41:35] ... the needs of the people who need the service

[1:41:37] with concerns or ... a lack of information of individuals

[1:41:43] or businesses or others in the community where they may

[1:41:46] be located so certainly execution awareness and two way dialogue

[1:41:50] is a critical part of that next up of consultation

[1:41:53] as we try to secure specific sites

[1:41:57] everyone who will be involved in implementing the site once

[1:42:00] the site to be six to be a success ...

[1:42:02] in particular people who need the service most desperately ...

[1:42:06] to try to prevent fatal overdoses from drug use and

[1:42:09] the service providers who will be working with so there

[1:42:11] is a genuine commitment to being good neighbors to being

[1:42:15] well integrated into the community and to engaging in Folsom

[1:42:18] and engaging in Folsom engagement ... prior to any final

[1:42:22] site selection we do need to start somewhere ... so

[1:42:25] we are proposing to start with one initial interim sites

[1:42:29] ... but with an absolute acknowledgment that feels very large

[1:42:33] geography were very diverse geography we have diverse populations within

[1:42:37] that geography and likely the ultimate model that works best

[1:42:41] for this community will be some sort of distributed model

[1:42:44] and it will likely come include a number of different

[1:42:47] ways in which the service could be provided to meet

[1:42:49] the needs of different populations and in different geographies ...

[1:42:52] we need to start somewhere so we're proposing to start

[1:42:54] where we can't ... to get something running quickly and

[1:42:58] we are very much committed to continuing to look at

[1:43:00] what is best for peel ... overlooks the slightly longer

[1:43:03] planning horizons concert Amerila follow up question

[1:43:07] yes I do and and you know my other ask

[1:43:09] Kate was send yeah I hope you will come forward

[1:43:13] with that is that asked for ...

[1:43:17] you know I wanted to know what was the experience

[1:43:20] with support and find something inside in Vancouver in Gastown

[1:43:23] which was one of the first ones I read many

[1:43:26] mixed reviews so it's hard for me ... because sometimes

[1:43:30] I think people have biases that come into whatever reports

[1:43:34] they are writing so I'd like to get a really

[1:43:37] balanced feedback I intend to do my own research a

[1:43:40] little bit more because I frankly read people saying oh

[1:43:44] inside is a great success and it hasn't done and

[1:43:48] there's been no negative fallout adults Gaston and then out

[1:43:51] right other reports that into a very different picture and

[1:43:55] then this report I think makes pictures so it because

[1:43:59] this topic is

[1:44:01] it's not about it it's really hard fully in people

[1:44:06] like me should you get unbiased unfiltered

[1:44:11] the parts as opposed to people the staff trying to

[1:44:14] create a narrative so how you do that I don't

[1:44:16] know but I think that would be really really important

[1:44:20] for me at least as the local council to get

[1:44:22] a full understanding of what happened there aren't before I

[1:44:26] feel comfortable

[1:44:29] it's

[1:44:30] councillor to Maryland thank you that concludes all the questions

[1:44:33] at this time a document ask you to stand down

[1:44:36] we're gonna hear from our delegates now and ... then

[1:44:39] we're going to bring the motion before counseling to deal

[1:44:41] with that and debate it then I have come service

[1:44:43] center up first to speak to the motion so with

[1:44:45] that delegate seven point two jasmine Flynn member peel drug

[1:44:59] jasmine are you on my there you are jasmine you've

[1:45:02] got five minutes please proceed go ahead jasmine

[1:45:07] hello my name is jasmine Plan and I stand before

[1:45:09] you today as a person with lived experience of substance

[1:45:12] use I am a mother of a number of people

[1:45:15] drug users advisory panel and the victim of the war

[1:45:18] on drugs that store my mother for me this past

[1:45:20] year my mother's name is Samantha plan she was a

[1:45:24] well known figure in the community she never had the

[1:45:26] fact that she was other drugs yes she had her

[1:45:29] use of opiates and she had an unsafe environment where

[1:45:32] she was the one providing community members with care support

[1:45:35] and supervision so that they were safe sure does appear

[1:45:39] for both um clinic in way of doing harm reduction

[1:45:41] work and community education and was all always trying to

[1:45:44] be a helper in the community even though her own

[1:45:47] journey with substance use continue to keep our entrenched in

[1:45:50] poverty and homelessness she save many lives and deserve the

[1:45:54] same dignity when she passed instead she was found face

[1:45:57] first in the back room of a house where no

[1:46:00] one had access to the resources she needed to check

[1:46:03] their drugs or provide her with proper lifesaving care

[1:46:07] drug use is something that someone does not something that

[1:46:10] someone is whether indoor or outdoor privilege are criminalized people

[1:46:14] who use drugs are at imminent risk of death threat

[1:46:17] is very real some of the people I know won't

[1:46:20] survive to walk through the doors of deals for site

[1:46:23] and not as fact without one it is certain more

[1:46:25] of them will die abstinence works for some but not

[1:46:29] for all three harm reduction was key no re how

[1:46:33] could or did down here people are complex beings and

[1:46:36] have the right to determine where they are out in

[1:46:37] their use without a safe place to use we are

[1:46:40] sentencing people to death people who use drugs have the

[1:46:43] right to live and the services will save lives to

[1:46:47] begin to try to describe all the people who have

[1:46:49] been lost would be nearly impossible they were people we

[1:46:52] love and will be continue I'm

[1:46:54] we continue to be people we will mess they were

[1:46:57] stolen from us before they even had a chance somewhere

[1:47:00] out X. somewhere recreational users and some were just beginning

[1:47:04] the very normal journey of experimentation and today they are

[1:47:07] all dead

[1:47:08] I'll use happens and no amount of policing or criminalization

[1:47:12] will make these desktops Furthermore this is not something top

[1:47:16] club or determination will sort out we need to equip

[1:47:19] yourselves with the tools needed to keep people alive a

[1:47:23] safe consumption site would mean not my mother would still

[1:47:27] be alive and have a proper chance at recovery ranging

[1:47:30] into take your has been affected by the drug poisoning

[1:47:33] crisis we owe it to the people whose lives have

[1:47:35] been lost as much as we owe it to the

[1:47:37] peoples who lives are still at risk this is no

[1:47:40] longer to be on the morality of drug use this

[1:47:42] is now debate on whether we will continue to let

[1:47:45] people die it really isn't that complex it is believed

[1:47:49] that as people who drug use drugs we have chosen

[1:47:52] are free and deserve death because we use drugs alcohol

[1:47:55] is readily available we safe consumption sites examples bars and

[1:48:00] restaurants on every major street those safe consumption sites are

[1:48:04] enjoyed daily by citizens highly sought out after spaces drawing

[1:48:08] in crowds and neighboring cities and here we are seven

[1:48:12] years into a crisis that has killed more than what

[1:48:14] would be acceptable in any other population of people begging

[1:48:18] you to take notice and implement approver in response to

[1:48:21] this public health crisis no different than the way the

[1:48:24] region responded to a call but nineteen I want you

[1:48:28] to remember my story and understand I've given the right

[1:48:31] supports and services I can stand here today something that

[1:48:34] my mom cannot do the evidence for supervised consumption and

[1:48:38] treatment services is sound they are proven effective and have

[1:48:42] been in operation for over a decade in some places

[1:48:45] in Canada with not one reporting a fatality worldwide supervised

[1:48:49] consumption and treatment services need to be a part of

[1:48:52] any responsible community's response to the harms of a poisoned

[1:48:56] drug supply people of all ages who use drugs are

[1:48:59] dying at unprecedented rates there is no other method of

[1:49:02] keeping people safe and when we are talking about a

[1:49:05] poisoned drug supply people continue to die I'm

[1:49:08] as we implement the solutions we know will work

[1:49:12] thank you for your time and attention today

[1:49:15] Johnson thank you for your excellent presentation I have no

[1:49:18] questions at this time so I thank you for your

[1:49:20] presentation and carry on with our list seven point three

[1:49:23] Marie McKenna moms stop the harm sharing a lived experience

[1:49:28] OP or crisis family impact Murray you're off

[1:49:32] it's very reason the audience and she's coming up welcome

[1:49:35] read

[1:49:37] and you have 5 minutes

[1:49:55] good morning thank you all for your time it's much

[1:49:58] appreciated

[1:50:00] my name is Marie McKenna I'm gonna have you speak

[1:50:02] a little closer to the microphone if you could please

[1:50:05] gather that's perfect thank you okay thank you

[1:50:09] my name is Marie McKenna and I am the privileged

[1:50:12] and proud mother of Corey and Nicole and Shane mechanised

[1:50:17] Makowsky

[1:50:18] Korean chain of the fourth generation of my family

[1:50:23] in south Mississauga Cory's great grandfather built a warehouse in

[1:50:27] nineteen fifty and it's owned and operated today by a

[1:50:30] third generation of the McKenna family

[1:50:33] in fact this picture that sets with me was taken

[1:50:37] five days book for Corey passed away in his two

[1:50:40] months of recovery

[1:50:42] and this is our social life now for the last

[1:50:44] four years I go out with my posters Corey and

[1:50:47] talk about it because this is what is needed now

[1:50:51] Cory's journey with drugs started with oxy cotton somewhere in

[1:50:55] his early life

[1:50:57] which usually grows into our steps into a heroin addiction

[1:51:02] which Corey went to rehab in twenty fourteen and had

[1:51:05] his first experience with heroin

[1:51:09] in northern Ontario North Bay

[1:51:13] after that he now got very serious he held the

[1:51:16] medical teams at the local clinics in lake view ...

[1:51:23] he was on the suboxone program which is a program

[1:51:26] to keep the urges and the substance use at bay

[1:51:30] he did that for a couple of years he was

[1:51:32] on the methadone program didn't like that at all I

[1:51:35] think he only lasted about six months or a year

[1:51:38] he wanted to be substance free and he was determined

[1:51:42] and I trusted in Cory's determination and his intelligence and

[1:51:46] he knew

[1:51:48] one thing I want to point out is we talk

[1:51:50] about the overdose these are overdoses none that leads us

[1:51:55] to believe that the individual talk too much they didn't

[1:51:58] take too much they're being poisoned

[1:52:02] on Cory's corner report of the Mississauga death certificate is

[1:52:08] accidental fatten all toxicity

[1:52:12] my son was poisoned he didn't take too much she

[1:52:15] knew but he had fifty nine days clean I had

[1:52:18] my son for those days

[1:52:21] the doctors that he worked with were standard the transformation

[1:52:24] of the young man he was in these two months

[1:52:27] but he relapsed

[1:52:29] usually don't get a second chance to relapse

[1:52:35] early on in my bereavement I found in a an

[1:52:38] organization called moms stop the harm it was started in

[1:52:43] twenty fifteen by two moms who lost their sons just

[1:52:46] as I have

[1:52:48] it would be C. as we know this is been

[1:52:50] going on for over twenty years we speak about Gastown

[1:52:55] this isn't new to our country and we knew that

[1:52:58] there was gonna be a tsunami coming east and it

[1:53:02] is coast to coast today and the numbers are astronomical

[1:53:06] the the number of six hundred and fifty four stats

[1:53:10] in the five years to Mississauga that's one of my

[1:53:12] sons number's Corey Corey is one of those numbers in

[1:53:16] twenty eighteen four days after his twenty ninth birthday

[1:53:23] these are preventable deaths that's probably the hardest part to

[1:53:26] reconcile these are preventable deaths and things have to move

[1:53:30] quickly as I was listening to jasmine speak

[1:53:35] early twenty twenty three there's still a lot of people

[1:53:38] to die

[1:53:40] here in peel

[1:53:42] over these few years to come

[1:53:44] I have brochures out front of the clerk's office for

[1:53:49] ... the moms stop the harm and also in twenty

[1:53:52] twenty one

[1:53:54] this organization did a national rollout of support groups because

[1:53:58] the families out here devastated were shattered we can now

[1:54:03] carry the stigma the shame that our children had to

[1:54:06] carry due to people's opinions and in a lot of

[1:54:10] families or silenced to that stigma we can't just go

[1:54:15] to ... child loss bereavement group

[1:54:17] these people are not circle don't understand when they've lost

[1:54:21] babies when they've lost children to other tragedies they don't

[1:54:26] understand our tragedy

[1:54:28] hence these two groups one of them is healing hearts

[1:54:32] they train members like myself as facilitators

[1:54:36] to go out and support these families

[1:54:39] the second one is holding hope

[1:54:41] is for the families and loved ones that still have

[1:54:44] active people

[1:54:46] in their substance use disorder journey

[1:54:50] that's tragedy in itself on a daily basis that's trauma

[1:54:55] it doesn't happen when the person finally dies it's the

[1:54:58] years before that impact the families the devastation the chronic

[1:55:04] chaos it carries on you try to run a family

[1:55:07] a lot of single mothers trying to run that family

[1:55:10] but this chaos is in the background

[1:55:13] sleepless nights days weeks years

[1:55:17] I had been Corey passed away I have four people

[1:55:19] in the poor credit area who I called my friends

[1:55:22] come forward to share with me that in fact they're

[1:55:25] dealing with the exact same thing but we didn't share

[1:55:28] to each other but because of the death people felt

[1:55:31] and knew I was a safe place at that point

[1:55:34] lot of dealings with police a lot of dealings with

[1:55:37] families in crisis

[1:55:40] if it's complicated when they the event begins when the

[1:55:44] loss has finally the biggest fear that we all fear

[1:55:48] when it comes true

[1:55:54] so my group right now I I have their permission

[1:55:57] we had a meeting last night and I have my

[1:55:59] permission to share this information as it just Minnesota it's

[1:56:04] it's usually an older late twenties up of young men

[1:56:09] and it's good in fact the ... Canadian population in

[1:56:12] years to come because we don't have mails to populate

[1:56:14] our population anymore which is just ... one of my

[1:56:20] members is a kindergarten teacher she's a single mom of

[1:56:23] three boys

[1:56:25] she buried her eighteen year old son died of sudden

[1:56:29] all he was poisoned she thought we had time to

[1:56:33] get through this we'll work through whatever his issues are

[1:56:37] she had already brought him back to life one night

[1:56:40] waking up to him and should the locks on in

[1:56:43] the home how dramatic is out for a mother to

[1:56:47] have to do that with her own son she has

[1:56:50] two other sons now she'll carry through another members a

[1:56:53] lawyer

[1:56:55] his son he's not in the peel area but his

[1:56:57] son was sixteen years old a hundred percent car factional

[1:57:02] was found in the young boy's body

[1:57:07] so one of one of the in our meetings it

[1:57:10] was just the way this father described this

[1:57:13] he said I can be just driving to work listening

[1:57:15] to the news

[1:57:17] and all of a sudden my son's dad

[1:57:20] it just hits you every morning you wake up four

[1:57:23] years later my first thought

[1:57:26] this car is not here anymore

[1:57:31] we're not asking for a cure for mental health and

[1:57:34] addiction that's way too big

[1:57:37] we're asking to help keep people alive there is a

[1:57:40] non safe supply on our streets and it's killing people

[1:57:45] daily

[1:57:47] I think it would be more prudent for me to

[1:57:48] share the end of Cory's life that day rather than

[1:57:51] tell you about what a wonderful father brother son cousin

[1:57:54] and friend that he was you can tell by the

[1:57:56] smile on his face that's who he was

[1:57:59] I want peel regional resources to know that they worked

[1:58:04] and it it should work that day and Corey should

[1:58:06] not be gone

[1:58:07] but let me tell you what happened Friday morning on

[1:58:11] August twenty fourth with Cory's much persistence he was meeting

[1:58:15] a friend at square one for lunch he wanted me

[1:58:19] to drop him to drop me off because we had

[1:58:22] to reconvened together that afternoon

[1:58:25] or it doesn't make sense I'm gonna drop you off

[1:58:27] for lunch come back no no no Chinese water torture

[1:58:31] I was now dropping him off ... no he was

[1:58:34] now dropping me off on his phone later we found

[1:58:38] my mom finally changed her mind I'm on my way

[1:58:41] at eleven forty one that was to his drug dealer

[1:58:45] in Burlington

[1:58:46] he was looking for some oxy cottons that day I

[1:58:49] solace tax for the whole day he was sitting beside

[1:58:52] me in the car I had no idea that this

[1:58:54] was going on within him

[1:58:57] 3:00 comes along that afternoon

[1:59:00] Corey I have that meeting where are you then I

[1:59:04] got that same as unknown call

[1:59:07] I'm a sergeant of peel regional over at square one

[1:59:11] seeing your son was found by a passer bys in

[1:59:14] your black Volvo in the underground parking he's on his

[1:59:17] way to trillium

[1:59:19] we got there in time he's okay

[1:59:22] do you need arrive

[1:59:25] I got a ride to my car

[1:59:27] the sergeant drove me in the underground so my car

[1:59:31] with the driver side open he said again we got

[1:59:35] here in time we usually don't

[1:59:38] I went out to my meeting because it was so

[1:59:40] important Cory was safe at trillion he was alive he

[1:59:44] was safe it's okay

[1:59:47] finally I get there

[1:59:49] he's out in the smoking area

[1:59:52] he's already been discharged

[1:59:55] 3:00 hours after arriving in trillions armor urgency

[2:00:00] as I pull up he walked out with his green

[2:00:04] scrubs on he look like a doctor that big smile

[2:00:08] greeted me with a twenty minute drive down the Dixie

[2:00:11] lake shore where he lived with my brother

[2:00:16] with the hard drive was a hard conversation

[2:00:19] but we had a beautiful goodbye

[2:01:06] through there the fire trucks the police cars

[2:01:10] as I ran jumped out of the car and I

[2:01:12] ran to the ground floor unit where they live all

[2:01:15] I can see the silhouette of people of my brother's

[2:01:18] living room just the silhouette and all I could hear

[2:01:22] was she's here the mothers here the mothers arrived is

[2:01:25] Sattar yeah Dr

[2:01:27] next thing I knew I had a paramedic in front

[2:01:29] of me he said we've been in touch with Charlie

[2:01:31] and we have been talking to the doctors we've administered

[2:01:35] everything there is to administer to him I thought often

[2:01:38] called there's hope

[2:01:41] but his heart has been stopped for a very long

[2:01:43] time

[2:01:45] my world went dark

[2:01:50] Korean tens of thousands of people are dying is preventable

[2:01:54] deaths turned a corner a little bit left in them

[2:01:57] in in his wallet

[2:01:59] but due to the you know that the new rules

[2:02:02] in place that there's no criminality to it there was

[2:02:05] no search done so it was never found it's just

[2:02:07] one of those things but I think it's important that

[2:02:11] we realize everybody has a different story everyone has a

[2:02:14] different scenario on how this went to be

[2:02:17] if I could ask for the recording to be played

[2:02:23] to have

[2:02:25] twenty fourth four twenty nine PM sent by nine zero

[2:02:30] five eight four eight seven one zero zero Barbara is

[2:02:41] know what to do and then well you sure it

[2:03:10] how their loved ones have been released from hospitals

[2:03:17] they brought Corey back to life

[2:03:20] the goddess heart going again and they did their job

[2:03:24] what I envision

[2:03:53] just someone to help

[2:03:55] because they come out of there the reason Corey couldn't

[2:04:01] the same cell number for twenty years but three three

[2:04:05] weeks prior I changed numbers to another provider and he

[2:04:08] couldn't get calls out of that institution to me for

[2:04:11] whatever the reason was

[2:04:13] and all he needed to do

[2:08:20] it's not not please proceed

[2:08:24] hello my name is not Kaminski shop

[2:08:28] and I'm standing before you today as a resident of

[2:08:30] the region of peel and as a person with deep

[2:08:33] connection to the issues I wanted to share my support

[2:08:36] for the implementation of the site I've been a resident

[2:08:39] of the region since the age of ten the region

[2:08:42] I am both grown up over the past thirty one

[2:08:44] years and that grows and changes wind standing before you

[2:08:47] today I love it here I bought my first home

[2:08:50] in PL I think that went that because of my

[2:08:53] drug use was always unimaginable easy I'm a person who

[2:08:57] uses drugs and is dependent on opiates B. at that

[2:09:00] those are prescribed to me now as a result of

[2:09:02] the growth of the harm reduction movement I'm still very

[2:09:06] much connected to the community people who are dying and

[2:09:09] I stand before you today asking all of you who

[2:09:11] hold the power to find the response needed to give

[2:09:14] others the same chances that I had

[2:09:17] ... government owning a home and how big of an

[2:09:19] accomplishment that was truly the biggest accomplishment I have is

[2:09:23] that I'm standing before you today forty one years of

[2:09:26] age

[2:09:28] at the height of my use I was asked to

[2:09:30] fill out in this estimate form on the final page

[2:09:33] came a question asking me to protect where I saw

[2:09:35] myself in the next five years thinking about how comfortable

[2:09:38] I was scribing died in the fill in the blanks

[2:09:41] still shakes me however every single day I see that

[2:09:44] reality play out in my community as a frontline worker

[2:09:48] for people use drugs today death is a guarantee in

[2:09:52] BC the life expectancy age has dropped as a result

[2:09:55] of this crisis I'm so thankful that I found harm

[2:09:58] reduction when I did I was dependent on opiates during

[2:10:01] a time where friends and all was not part of

[2:10:03] the drug market where vandals or something you had to

[2:10:06] intentionally seek out I went on methadone and one method

[2:10:10] when methadone was able to match my dependence and tried

[2:10:14] try treating of dosage had a formula and now it

[2:10:17] wasn't methadone that got me here today it gave me

[2:10:20] options easy harm reduction is more than a set of

[2:10:23] principles are particular program or service for me it was

[2:10:27] another chance of light one that landed me on the

[2:10:30] front lines as a harm reduction advocates and as part

[2:10:32] of the druggies amazement today I serve this region are

[2:10:36] a part of harm reduction programming idle and she community

[2:10:39] and empower folks to implement harm reduction into their own

[2:10:42] lives but a poisoned drug supply leaves me without the

[2:10:46] resources needed to keep this community safe the only tools

[2:10:49] I have is telling folks to arm themselves in our

[2:10:52] Jan and not use alone stickman criminalization is not conducive

[2:10:57] with being out and so long as our region doesn't

[2:10:59] have a space where folks can go we will continue

[2:11:02] to find people dying alone in twenty seventeen I started

[2:11:06] the peel drug users network I couldn't just continue to

[2:11:09] go into community without some way of battling this poisoned

[2:11:12] drug supply we began sharing information of overdoses and bad

[2:11:16] batches posting pictures and stories from the community very quickly

[2:11:21] the entire drug supply him changed care when disappeared and

[2:11:26] folks had to seek out stronger drug

[2:11:28] in order to feel well in our bad drug reports

[2:11:31] became redundant as a community we must continue to adapt

[2:11:35] and serve and that is what I'm asking of you

[2:11:37] today people who use drugs want to connect because connection

[2:11:40] is key and five years later our network not only

[2:11:44] has members connect to each one another but also to

[2:11:47] services some chords and employment opportunities that's what de stigmatize

[2:11:52] spaces can do they drop folks into somewhere they can

[2:11:55] feel safe and connected and allow them to thrive in

[2:11:58] opportunity supervised consumption and treatment services provides service by meeting

[2:12:03] people where they're at I cannot begin to describe how

[2:12:07] difficult it is to go on to community and watch

[2:12:09] the folks they serve disappear

[2:12:12] I handled our can telling people never he's alone but

[2:12:15] that just isn't enough without a space to go we

[2:12:19] need a space where folks can go use drugs and

[2:12:21] not be afraid where the primary focus must be certain

[2:12:25] surviving to another day supervised consumption and treatment services provide

[2:12:30] people use drugs an entry pathway into service providing chairing

[2:12:34] the non stigmatized environment

[2:12:37] the principles of harm reduction allow for recreating cultural community

[2:12:40] care practices we have the tools to recreate that model

[2:12:45] that is trusted by the people who need it the

[2:12:47] most

[2:12:48] supervised consumption and treatment services are a key part of

[2:12:51] any community that aims to keep its citizens well and

[2:12:54] it's communities thriving the presence of the sites as long

[2:12:58] overdue we must keep within the traditions of responding to

[2:13:01] our citizens needs so we can't

[2:13:04] ... stronger together I'm standing before you today because harm

[2:13:07] reduction works I am just too many lives have been

[2:13:12] stolen lives robbed of the opportunities I had people use

[2:13:16] drugs do not want to die and I beg you

[2:13:18] to stand for them today communities across this country many

[2:13:22] like her own and taken responsible steps of implementing the

[2:13:26] services and we must join them I urge you to

[2:13:29] act now listen to the recommendations of the study if

[2:13:33] not for people use drugs them for their families their

[2:13:36] friends the frontline workers and if not for that and

[2:13:40] for the future growth of our region because we can't

[2:13:43] begin to measure all the possibilities this crisis has robbed

[2:13:46] us of thank you

[2:13:49] thank you very much for your presentation I have no

[2:13:52] questions and I go on to our next speaker seven

[2:14:40] well for the comments that have since the drug uses

[2:14:44] advisory panel and yes yes planning and implementation group to

[2:14:48] put forward a plan to provide seed consumption services and

[2:14:53] the region of peel

[2:14:55] we've heard back Casey provide an option services for thirty

[2:15:01] years and and this includes service to people who use

[2:15:04] drugs including all reach our direction supplies and also distribution

[2:15:09] council in education and connections to all the services we

[2:15:14] also work to build a service the past the service

[2:15:18] providers capacity through provision of training workshops and exponential learning

[2:15:24] from those with lived experience of substance use

[2:15:28] more is a founding member and current share of the

[2:15:31] peel farm production committee PHR C. which has existed for

[2:15:37] ten years and has hosted an annual forum to raise

[2:15:41] community awareness around issues pertaining to substance use in P.

[2:15:45] L.

[2:15:46] P. H. R. C. identified the need for regional drug

[2:15:49] strategy and I'm all the recommendations from the community consultation

[2:15:54] reported trying to trying to one was a need to

[2:15:56] establish a supervised consumption services to address the drug crisis

[2:16:03] in two thousand eighteen always started the peel integrated drugs

[2:16:07] strategy and that's already told about the drug uses advisory

[2:16:13] panel J. uses that work as well as the judges

[2:16:16] advisory panel which together they have brought together key regional

[2:16:22] stakeholders to explore ways of reducing drug related harms and

[2:16:27] works closely with the region's opioid strategy

[2:16:32] since two thousand sixteen we have been seen at an

[2:16:36] ever increasing number of drug poisoning deaths due to the

[2:16:40] introduction of kinds of the into the drug supply

[2:16:44] we heard it's already the six fifty four lands lost

[2:16:47] between two thousand seventeen and two thousand twenty one

[2:16:52] in response to that escalating crisis in two thousand eighteen

[2:16:56] our harm reduction team volunteered at the moss park overdose

[2:17:00] prevention sites in Toronto

[2:17:03] and they were able to gain experience in providing monitoring

[2:17:07] overdose prevention services that I've seen here well I have

[2:17:11] been approved for provincial funding to set up an old

[2:17:15] piece and downtown Branson but difficult to secure in a

[2:17:19] viable location before the provincial election result in the withdrawal

[2:17:24] of the funding offer and the later shift towards consumption

[2:17:28] treatment services model which didn't but the new provincial government

[2:17:33] one supported P. public housing consultant S. is feasibility study

[2:17:38] which along with a delegation from two members of our

[2:17:41] Peter drug use and advisory panel and the letter stated

[2:17:45] more is the building next to be the operator of

[2:17:47] the seed consumption services in reach in the region was

[2:17:51] presented to regional council the board of health in December

[2:17:54] twenty twenty nine to nineteen

[2:17:57] we have since work with public health along with them

[2:18:01] wheelchair planning and implementation group to explore establishing an S.

[2:18:06] C. is in the region

[2:18:08] since April twenty twenty one more year has seen the

[2:18:12] ninety four oh four clans including some of our peer

[2:18:16] workers lose their lives to drop by stand

[2:18:21] our team is struggling to cope with the crisis the

[2:18:23] drug poisoning is created in the community this is why

[2:18:27] we are committed to working with wild fourth C. H.

[2:18:29] C.

[2:18:31] like health and other key stakeholders to put an end

[2:18:36] to these unnecessary and avoidable deaths by providing safe consumption

[2:18:41] services with the wraparound supports to people who use drugs

[2:18:46] Mallia and while fourth are well positioned to do this

[2:18:50] work as collectively we have strong ties with the drug

[2:18:54] use in communities and are well respected by them and

[2:18:57] others for harm reduction work in the region

[2:19:01] Azzedine considering your decision you ponder on the question which

[2:19:07] is more valuable the fear I have today are the

[2:19:11] lives that I think that can be saved from approving

[2:19:14] interim funding to private provide resources that can see in

[2:19:19] the lives of the community we love who knows the

[2:19:23] next last saved could be one of your own thank

[2:19:26] you

[2:19:28] I hope very you very much for your presentation for

[2:19:31] the great work you do it more oil ... if

[2:19:33] I have no questions I moving on to our next

[2:19:35] delegates seven point six Kimberly Floyd interim chief executive officer

[2:19:39] and the Tasha taught manager bloom kill clinic the Kimberly

[2:19:44] in the Tasha welcome

[2:19:46] zero it's asking here Kimberly is watching ... but I

[2:19:50] I'm here to tell you today so good morning and

[2:19:54] thank you for taking the time to listen to me

[2:19:56] and everyone who's here in person and virtually today consumption

[2:20:00] is an issue that is hugely important for our community

[2:20:04] everyone of us speaking today has likely known at least

[2:20:07] one person and some of us many who has lost

[2:20:09] their life to a preventable fatal overdose

[2:20:13] hi my name is Natasha and I'm the manager for

[2:20:15] gloom clinic which is a program of well for community

[2:20:17] health services

[2:20:19] our team the plan connect with differently provides harm reduction

[2:20:23] and healthcare services to people and people who are experiencing

[2:20:26] homelessness and people who use drugs I've been with this

[2:20:29] team for nine years six of the front line social

[2:20:32] worker and another three in leadership throughout these years the

[2:20:36] Doug drug poisoning crisis has eaten away at our community

[2:20:39] first slowly and then very quickly

[2:20:43] I remember running a weekly support dropping in downtown Brampton

[2:20:46] in twenty sixteen ... we all closely followed what was

[2:20:50] happening in Vancouver and it felt like a tidal wave

[2:20:54] waiting to reach us here eventually it did more than

[2:20:57] half of the people that attended that group are no

[2:20:59] longer with us today all of their deaths were preventable

[2:21:04] a few weeks after the loss of one of the

[2:21:05] group members her mother brought me irises that you dug

[2:21:08] out from our garden sorry

[2:21:11] in my front yard I think about this woman Austin

[2:21:14] and every spring when those irises bloom I see how

[2:21:18] the problem there beautiful and tragic they're growth reminds me

[2:21:22] of all that she would have done if you were

[2:21:24] with us today

[2:21:26] approving the implementation of the for consumption services here today

[2:21:30] he can't bring her back we can stop the needless

[2:21:33] deaths of so many more people that we are adamantly

[2:21:35] fighting alongside today

[2:21:37] we were asking that you value the lives of people

[2:21:39] who use drugs as integral members of our community

[2:21:43] and I worry that there might be a misconception that

[2:21:45] drug use is not as prevalent in feel as it

[2:21:48] is in other municipalities

[2:21:50] ridiculously in larger cities and this just simply isn't true

[2:21:54] the balloon team alongside Borneo and she'll work steel exchange

[2:21:57] program have been providing harm reduction education materials for many

[2:22:01] years and we've all seen consistent increases in supply distribution

[2:22:05] from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one um alone has

[2:22:09] seen a two hundred and sixteen percent increase in our

[2:22:11] distribution of supplies during this time we've witnessed several municipalities

[2:22:16] urban suburban and rural all implement supervised consumption and safer

[2:22:20] supply programs we can't wait any longer to move forward

[2:22:24] on the services appeal

[2:22:26] harnessing our expertise in the community as health and community

[2:22:30] based health care well for is proud to step up

[2:22:32] as the clinical lead for supervised consumption we've been working

[2:22:36] strongly alongside our colleagues employee ... and your public health

[2:22:39] since our inception in two thousand seven together our teams

[2:22:43] have built strong relationships with community through coordinated care efforts

[2:22:47] resulting in increased health outcomes for hundreds of people residents

[2:22:50] every year we believe strongly in the power of collaboration

[2:22:54] and evidence there is no disputing the evidence clearly supports

[2:22:58] the overwhelming benefits of supervised consumption everyone in the community

[2:23:03] including drastically reducing fatal overdoses isn't in communities where they

[2:23:07] exist and are accessible significant reductions in calls for ambulances

[2:23:12] in response to overdose we can respond to these overdoses

[2:23:16] on site largely eliminating the need for a call to

[2:23:18] ambulance or transfer each R. G. E. R. which leads

[2:23:22] us to a subsequent subsequent significant reduction in hospital visits

[2:23:26] for overdose yes but also for acute care issues like

[2:23:29] skin infections wound care ... abscesses and basic first aid

[2:23:35] all of these can be addressed in the supervised consumption

[2:23:38] space by on site nursing staff and harm reduction and

[2:23:40] your workers further research studies have clearly demonstrated significant reductions

[2:23:46] in HIV and hepatitis C. transmission among people who use

[2:23:50] supervised consumption services likely due to a significant reduction in

[2:23:55] sharing of equipment ... and also the study show a

[2:23:58] drastic reduction in public trust in public drug usage in

[2:24:01] communities where supervised consumption services were available so people are

[2:24:05] using and spaces in back alleys or in in public

[2:24:08] washrooms but they are in spaces that is specifically designated

[2:24:12] for drug use ... finally supervised consumption services provide linkages

[2:24:17] to primary health care services mental health services addiction treatment

[2:24:21] in a space that's culturally appropriate and truly meets the

[2:24:24] needs of people accessing this these services

[2:24:28] we can't wait any longer we can't wait for more

[2:24:30] years for supervised consumption to be prioritized we need action

[2:24:34] now as healthcare providers and community leaders we are here

[2:24:37] today calling on you to approve the proposal for supervised

[2:24:40] consumption services in peel to create a healthier community for

[2:24:44] everyone thank you again for taking the time to hear

[2:24:47] me speak today

[2:24:49] the Tasha thank you for your presentation with no questions

[2:24:52] at this time so we go to our next to

[2:24:55] delegate seven point seven Dr Nussbaum program coordinator and analysts

[2:24:59] peel alliance to end homelessness regarding the supervised consumption site

[2:25:03] that's not

[2:25:05] hello everyone hello

[2:25:08] so I am here until I'm send homelessness is a

[2:25:11] collaborative agencies from across the region appeal working together to

[2:25:14] end homelessness in our communities we're providing ... our support

[2:25:19] of the findings of the supervised consumption treatment services Ethan

[2:25:22] Phillips

[2:25:24] bility study study led by peel public health in collaboration

[2:25:27] with my own health and community services and the Canadian

[2:25:30] mental health association indicates a need for supervised consumption and

[2:25:34] treatment services in the region of peel which the PH

[2:25:37] fully endorses Mario is one of our community partners and

[2:25:41] we sit on the peel integrated drugs strategy and kills

[2:25:44] harm reduction committee

[2:25:46] almost drug use often overlap in the harms of substance

[2:25:49] abuse are exacerbated by homelessness and the participants study cited

[2:25:54] an appeal integrated drugs strategy report for two thousand twenty

[2:25:58] one group survey one in five survey participants did not

[2:26:01] have stable housing or currently homeless there is considerable evidence

[2:26:05] for the effectiveness of harm reduction and if you house

[2:26:07] people who experience chronic homelessness in our complex problems reductions

[2:26:12] reductions issues often decline

[2:26:15] a recent study in Calgary on the cost analysis of

[2:26:18] a safe consumption site show the proportional to an overdose

[2:26:22] decrease totally for the duration of the program the number

[2:26:25] of overdoses managed on site at the supervised consumption site

[2:26:29] trended upwards to ninety eight percent each overdose managed apps

[2:26:34] are safe consumption site produced approximately sixteen hundred Canadian dollars

[2:26:39] ... in in cost savings from the use of emergency

[2:26:42] services with a savings of over two point three million

[2:26:45] for the lifetime of the program the study concluded that

[2:26:48] overdose management as an SCS creates cost savings by offsetting

[2:26:52] costs required for managing overdoses using emergency department and pre

[2:26:56] hospital ambulance services additionally a supervised consumption site also provides

[2:27:02] other health services such as referrals for housing or drug

[2:27:04] treatment programs there may be economic and social benefits compliance

[2:27:08] receiving such additional services which they may have difficulty accessing

[2:27:12] elsewhere the root causes for harms related to substance use

[2:27:16] are largely derived from systemic structures such as restrictive laws

[2:27:19] and policies institutional biases and equities in discrimination about an

[2:27:24] open ended related deaths rose and kill one hundred and

[2:27:27] thirty three percent between two thousand and seventeen into when

[2:27:30] you're twenty one and I know you've heard this the

[2:27:32] six hundred fifty one death and that into her twenty

[2:27:35] twenty one fifty one percent of deaths occurred when there

[2:27:37] was no one present who can intervene is a clear

[2:27:40] indication that a supervised consumption site in peel is long

[2:27:43] overdue as is criminalizing absence the criminalization of drug use

[2:27:49] welcome kill users are drug drug users advisory panel we

[2:27:52] do not want to see more lives lost in the

[2:27:54] absence of the support and care we deserve people who

[2:27:57] use drugs want to live we urge you to listen

[2:27:59] to our pleas and that the recommendations of the study

[2:28:02] in support of the opening a supervised consumption in treatment

[2:28:05] service in the region of peel as soon as possible

[2:28:08] waiting will cost us more lives and to quote other

[2:28:39] last deliberate on this matter and I understand it's now

[2:28:41] it's a lie so grace chapel ... Chapelle members drug

[2:28:44] use advisory panel Moyle health community allies ... you're up

[2:28:51] and she's here in the building welcome I'm looking at

[2:28:53] the screen welcome

[2:28:58] good morning my name is Alisa topple I'm almost twenty

[2:29:01] eight years old I have lived in for most of

[2:29:03] my time here in peel region I was born here

[2:29:06] I grew up here my immediate family is here most

[2:29:08] of my friends are here this region is and has

[2:29:12] been my home

[2:29:13] I am a daughter a sister a niece cousin Kathe

[2:29:16] mom and a godmother to two high school young age

[2:29:19] man I bring up their age because the oldest is

[2:29:22] entering grade ten next year yeah actually just turned fifteen

[2:29:25] less than two weeks ago the same age I was

[2:29:28] when I first experimented with drugs

[2:29:30] I am here today as a person with lived experience

[2:29:32] from the PLO drug users of five three panel with

[2:29:36] eight years of active opiate use two and a half

[2:29:38] years on methadone and almost two years over in the

[2:29:41] past ten plus years I am at the past ten

[2:29:44] plus years of giving me lots of experience in around

[2:29:46] opiate use as well as drug use in general

[2:29:50] back in grade eleven I was introduced to oxy cotton

[2:29:52] and I started a small burning fire for opiates in

[2:29:55] B. C. opiate addiction isn't all that new to my

[2:29:58] family my grandfather was prescribed a concoction of opiates for

[2:30:02] severe back pain the forced him into early retirement

[2:30:05] he lived a long but also healthy life

[2:30:08] by the time he was a man in his mid

[2:30:10] eighties through his early nineties when he passed he was

[2:30:14] addicted to opiates oddly enough at the same time I

[2:30:17] was really getting started with my addiction to opiates

[2:30:20] my drug of choice was always functional since I first

[2:30:23] tried it a few weeks before graduating high school they

[2:30:26] say you never forget your first love and that was

[2:30:28] mine I fell hard and I fell fast I wasn't

[2:30:32] educated enough to know the dangers of prescription drug I

[2:30:35] was taught from a young age to trust doctors dentists

[2:30:38] pharmacists XR trust these people want to help you

[2:30:43] even though I wasn't getting these things prescribed to me

[2:30:45] I knew they came from us a prescription it's not

[2:30:48] like I was doing heroin

[2:30:50] final mostly came in a patch for back then so

[2:30:53] you could tell if it was fake or tampered with

[2:30:55] when there weren't as many rules and regulations in place

[2:30:58] to keep them off the streets

[2:31:01] I will remind you I was freshly eighteen years old

[2:31:03] when my addiction start really started taking off and in

[2:31:06] high school we were taught to stay away from marijuana

[2:31:09] cocaine

[2:31:10] methamphetamine and heroin

[2:31:12] what I didn't realize till later is that functional is

[2:31:15] way worse than heroin I thought because my grandfather and

[2:31:19] I were both using patches mind you in completely different

[2:31:22] ways and for completely different reasons thought what I was

[2:31:25] doing couldn't be that bad how wrong I was I

[2:31:28] quickly realized I was way in over my head and

[2:31:31] since my grandfather's addiction was managed by a doctor my

[2:31:34] parents and I we really had no idea what to

[2:31:36] do over the years I've tried many things to get

[2:31:39] myself to the stable place I'm not today I finally

[2:31:42] decided to try methadone no it doesn't work for everyone

[2:31:45] I found that it's the thing that's been able to

[2:31:48] keep me stable and feeds that little burning fire that

[2:31:51] will never go out but it doesn't feet past the

[2:31:53] point of no return

[2:31:55] I fear that if I were to relapse with no

[2:31:57] place safe place to go in the community that I

[2:32:00] will end up a statistic a number I want to

[2:32:03] remind everyone here that these are real numbers that these

[2:32:06] are numbers are real people who had real problems and

[2:32:10] so often I hear about people getting sober when they

[2:32:13] relapse or return to using they fatally overdose how many

[2:32:17] people in this region could have been saved if there

[2:32:19] was a safe place to go without fear of judgment

[2:32:22] or prosecution many times I use functional alone in my

[2:32:26] house or with people I knew that would never call

[2:32:28] for help if something happened to me for fear of

[2:32:31] their prosecution themselves

[2:32:34] most people are forced to use in these circumstances though

[2:32:38] I'm lucky to never have experienced a near fatal overdose

[2:32:41] how many friends haven't got so lucky back in June

[2:32:46] twenty fourteen I lost one of my best friends number

[2:32:48] five for privacy sake all uses first name only Sam

[2:32:52] he was freshly eighteen when he lost his life to

[2:32:55] a fatal overdose he'd been in rehab for eight months

[2:32:59] before that and had tried many times to stop using

[2:33:02] after checking himself out of detox a night early before

[2:33:05] he can get back to rehab the following day he

[2:33:07] overdosed in a McDonald's in real in peel region

[2:33:11] he had nowhere to go to check to make sure

[2:33:13] his supply was safe or to make sure you use

[2:33:15] the correct amount this was his third or fourth overdose

[2:33:18] in that year mind you the first couple were his

[2:33:22] parents saved him

[2:33:24] ... and this time there was no one around to

[2:33:26] save them supervised consumption sites are so important for the

[2:33:30] region appeal to have not just for people to check

[2:33:32] the box but to be around people who are trained

[2:33:35] in overdose prevention with proper tools and supplies

[2:33:39] as well as to make see our new safer connections

[2:33:42] with drug batches

[2:33:44] one of the biggest problems we have in this region

[2:33:46] is our talk toxic drug supply the batches out there

[2:33:50] killing people as many as much as we try to

[2:33:53] keep others informed of bad batches as not side it

[2:33:56] is become so out of control as things move in

[2:33:59] out and around the region so quickly we need to

[2:34:02] do anything and everything we can to slow down this

[2:34:05] and get a handle on it

[2:34:07] safe consumption sites would hopefully help people get out of

[2:34:10] you going in using an unsafe places and getting their

[2:34:13] drugs and unsafe places because these sites would allow people

[2:34:16] to come together and make new connections they may not

[2:34:20] have been able to make otherwise I know I'm not

[2:34:22] the only one that has use drugs alone in December

[2:34:25] twenty seventeen my boyfriend Dave who mostly use alone if

[2:34:29] he wasn't with me or the few other people he

[2:34:32] rarely hung around with he had to go to a

[2:34:34] place that isn't always safe to seek out his drug

[2:34:37] of choice unfortunately he got into an altercation with someone

[2:34:40] in the house

[2:34:41] over money and drugs and he was murdered and is

[2:34:44] still missing to this day

[2:34:47] I wish there were sites bottom for him to go

[2:34:49] to so we could at least check his batch maybe

[2:34:52] meet some new more reliable people

[2:34:55] I know that's neither Sam or Dave's story are one

[2:34:58] offs people are dying at an alarming rate and please

[2:35:00] don't wait until it's someone that you love is gone

[2:35:03] thank you for listening

[2:35:06] Liza thank you very much for coming in today if

[2:35:09] there are no questions thank you for your presentation also

[2:35:12] to my colleagues that exhausts are list of delegates and

[2:35:15] now to deal with the report itself and I would

[2:35:17] acknowledge counts service sent a first and I don't have

[2:35:20] a motion before me that's moved I have the staff

[2:35:22] report here Carol service entity to you

[2:35:26] thank you very much ... Mr chair can you hear

[2:35:29] me

[2:35:30] yes I can please proceed thank you I first want

[2:35:33] to begin by thanking our delegates who have come here

[2:35:37] today in particular about those who have lost loved ones

[2:35:43] to this ... a different kind of pandemic that has

[2:35:48] been sweeping

[2:35:51] neighborhoods and communities all over

[2:35:55] our hearts are broken in sharing your story is truly

[2:35:59] and

[2:36:00] we're very sorry for your loss but we are here

[2:36:04] today to

[2:36:06] find a way forward to make improvements ... I would

[2:36:11] notes that ... the numbers

[2:36:14] for people who have

[2:36:16] died from

[2:36:19] drug overdose or misuse

[2:36:21] ... is reaching close to seven hundred persons since two

[2:36:26] thousand and seventeen

[2:36:29] and

[2:36:31] this has to stop obviously and we know that a

[2:36:35] supervised consumption sites are part of the solution ... but

[2:36:40] it's it's been a difficult hall I think for the

[2:36:43] community to

[2:36:47] to do the right thing and cancer centers in nine

[2:36:52] who represents a downtown

[2:36:54] Brampton north of queen we have been acutely aware of

[2:37:01] these issues in in in two thousand eighteen we do

[2:37:04] recall quite vividly when Sam came forward with

[2:37:09] a plan in the submission to locate the supervised

[2:37:16] consumption sites in Branson and

[2:37:21] the residents

[2:37:23] quickly became alarmed and we mobilized we've started to plan

[2:37:29] a meeting ... to help at that we invited residents

[2:37:34] to attend

[2:37:35] to

[2:37:37] presents some of the stories and the examples of similar

[2:37:42] facilities that exist in other cities across Canada to show

[2:37:46] them as examples of what it is that we could

[2:37:48] do in our community here ramps and ... that that

[2:37:53] location as soon afterwards so I canceled and scuttled and

[2:37:59] we are here today four years later looking to move

[2:38:04] forward

[2:38:05] we know from that experience

[2:38:08] that's ... we need to the harm reduction the community

[2:38:12] understands the need now there's been a lot more information

[2:38:16] education that has occurred we've been through coal with pandemic

[2:38:21] and folks ...

[2:38:23] are aware of the importance of health measures and in

[2:38:26] particular when they see the statistics on the deaths they

[2:38:30] know that so we are compelled to act the location

[2:38:34] is key it's key for the success but is also

[2:38:38] key for the acceptance

[2:38:41] and so we have had many conversations and I wanna

[2:38:46] thank the doctor being ... and ... Dr Lowe who

[2:38:50] is no longer here today but councillor stances and I

[2:38:53] had many meetings with people health to try to break

[2:38:59] down and see what it is ... that we can

[2:39:01] do and how do we narrow down and find a

[2:39:03] way to bring a facility that can truly serve ...

[2:39:09] in when we

[2:39:11] proper heads around it when we see examples in other

[2:39:14] cities where ... definitely supervised consumption sites are not located

[2:39:19] close to residential areas and I think it seems to

[2:39:24] us councillor Samsonite the ideal the ideal location really is

[2:39:30] in a ... accessible location preferably connected to a health

[2:39:35] facility and so we would ... in courage kill staff

[2:39:40] to focus their time and resources resources into finding opportunities

[2:39:46] there ...

[2:39:50] we are of course open to participating in the consultation

[2:39:54] process we think that that is very important that we

[2:39:57] cannot wait any longer so ... from our standpoint we

[2:40:02] want to help that this

[2:40:05] takes place as quickly as possible we know that the

[2:40:09] more bile ... sites are are also very important in

[2:40:12] can be are we located at will and where they

[2:40:16] need that may arise from time to time and even

[2:40:19] in Branson we have seen the needs the needs shift

[2:40:23] from one location to the other very quickly and so

[2:40:26] I think those mobile sites are also very important ...

[2:40:30] but in in order to save time and after having

[2:40:32] consulted with us so many of our stakeholders particularly in

[2:40:36] downtown Brampton ... and understanding that they have for many

[2:40:42] years now shouldered a heavy load in terms of ...

[2:40:48] posting and helping folks who ... ... or are suffering

[2:40:53] from mental illness and other additions in issues I just

[2:40:58] I both councillor senses and are very pleased to offer

[2:41:04] our support and move ask for receipts of the recommendations

[2:41:09] but we would like to request that to an amendment

[2:41:12] be made to appendix to

[2:41:17] and we like what has been answered in here in

[2:41:20] terms of site selection considerations are highlighting of course the

[2:41:24] one nearby other social and health services but where there

[2:41:28] is health care in section two under sensitive land uses

[2:41:34] were stating and we agree they be located away from

[2:41:38] licensed child care centers parks and schools but we would

[2:41:42] also like to add in this section are away from

[2:41:45] our B. I. eight and innovation hub locations in downtown

[2:41:52] Brampton as we find that with the investments that the

[2:41:56] city has been making in these areas that it would

[2:41:59] be very problematic and there'd be a great deal of

[2:42:02] opposition ... but there are

[2:42:06] great opportunities elsewhere ... so would like to ask for

[2:42:10] that ... to be considered in part of this and

[2:42:14] I know that so there may be other members who

[2:42:16] may have other similar requests cetera but so looking forward

[2:42:21] to that consultation and ... with ... those exclusions as

[2:42:26] I've been highlighted here in the staff report to mind

[2:42:29] we're happy to move the report Mr chair

[2:42:32] thank you counsel resent the so what I will do

[2:42:34] is I'll accept you in councillor Santos is the mover

[2:42:36] in the second ... of the motion that with the

[2:42:39] amendment that you made about the spatial consideration I'm gonna

[2:42:42] make sure that our staff of got the wording accordingly

[2:42:44] because I'm gonna come back to them to make sure

[2:42:46] that I've got the amended clause accordingly so that will

[2:42:49] be coming back but with regards to that motion that

[2:42:52] is before me I go to my list of speakers

[2:42:54] councillor tomorrow

[2:42:57] thank you chair and ... also sent a are a

[2:43:00] hard act to follow use spokesman eloquently and so balanced

[2:43:05] in your comments and after

[2:43:08] yeah I appreciate the way you are

[2:43:11] business and then I would like to echo what council

[2:43:15] of the centre has sat all

[2:43:18] you know one of the challenges with

[2:43:21] well has been

[2:43:25] local businesses are struggling and I can give you an

[2:43:29] example I did show that accurate yeah

[2:43:32] the former

[2:43:35] commissioner Janet she he and she did try to help

[2:43:37] for instance includes will record we had allowed for ...

[2:43:43] restaurants to have patios in parking lots and after

[2:43:48] hello restaurants put in the money to

[2:43:54] all those patios

[2:43:56] and could use them because maintenance issues people when urinating

[2:44:03] on the patio

[2:44:05] your walls and it was just it was a hard

[2:44:09] running because this particular restaurant owner within about twelve thousand

[2:44:14] dollars to create this temporary patio and then just couldn't

[2:44:18] so from that point of view and I know

[2:44:23] Dr king and you're not have these conversations about what's

[2:44:27] what are ideal locations and I think we we agreed

[2:44:30] on a few locations that might work and we'll have

[2:44:34] to see how that goes ... but I would like

[2:44:38] to I I really like my council of the sentence

[2:44:41] going and I think the moving fifty I area

[2:44:46] trump and you know based on our discussions about doctor

[2:44:50] being a my understanding is that he wouldn't in any

[2:44:53] case ... situate them in such a place also it

[2:44:57] would be just great to sort of formalize that so

[2:45:00] I would like to ask the courts will be ideas

[2:45:02] while they're chair

[2:45:05] to be considered by the council yeah you know yes

[2:45:09] and sensitive

[2:45:11] thank you

[2:45:13] thank you I'm that exhaust my list councillor descente if

[2:45:17] you could ... because it seems like you've got consensus

[2:45:20] on the amended motion could you very carefully for the

[2:45:23] benefit of the clerk's department to make sure if you

[2:45:25] could go over again those spatial site consideration one more

[2:45:30] time slowly so that we make sure we've incorporated all

[2:45:33] of them so councillor was sent over to you for

[2:45:35] that amendment regarding site selection as you enunciated a moment

[2:45:39] ago so at thank you Mr Cher through you ...

[2:45:43] so it's identified in appendix two that sensitive land uses

[2:45:47] located away from licensed child care centers parks and schools

[2:45:51] including post secondary education us post secondary students were possible

[2:45:56] ... and I'd like to they're in at ...

[2:46:01] D. I. A.

[2:46:03] policies also we in downtown branch and we have the

[2:46:07] downtown Brampton B. I. A. which also encompasses our OP

[2:46:12] planned and ... in the works innovation hub which will

[2:46:19] also house ... intentionally ... and does house today post

[2:46:24] secondary institutions and so for it to be formally understood

[2:46:30] by all that tied the B. I. area ... the

[2:46:33] innovation hub would ... would be considered a sensitive land

[2:46:39] use

[2:46:41] where

[2:46:43] we know that there would be

[2:46:46] it just wouldn't be compatible with some local stakeholders

[2:46:53] just a quick question for and just to be clear

[2:46:55] with stop this is so that you get on with

[2:46:57] your work the site would ultimately have to come back

[2:46:59] to council so one should determine the exact of when

[2:47:02] we do make council aware

[2:47:07] thank you through the chair ... we're proposing to come

[2:47:10] back with an update there is no formal step currently

[2:47:13] in the proposal to come back for specific council approval

[2:47:16] understood but you will let us know based upon the

[2:47:19] criteria we've given you what the successful site would be

[2:47:22] approximately how far down the road hopefully within the next

[2:47:25] few months within the next few months thank you carrying

[2:47:27] on with my list accounts of the Maryland once again

[2:47:29] and then mayor Crombie concert tomorrow

[2:47:32] so I mean there's two ways to do this either

[2:47:35] we could just say the Iranians in general are excluded

[2:47:41] or if you want to be specific bands ... chair

[2:47:44] I wanna make sure that the constantly I is an

[2:47:47] issue because I think you asked for clarification from counselling

[2:47:51] the Sunday as to what boarding you wanted and I

[2:47:53] wanted to make sure that

[2:47:55] according

[2:47:57] excludes

[2:48:00] all the items

[2:48:02] probably is to clean all right now if not if

[2:48:05] you're going to name them then please make sure that

[2:48:08] of course will be IT is excellent as well

[2:48:13] thank you mayor Crombie

[2:48:17] thank you Mr chair I'm sorry correct

[2:48:22] meeting twice

[2:48:26] I appreciate the sensitivity of the B. I. A.'s and

[2:48:29] of course we want to grow our businesses in the

[2:48:31] downtown areas whether it be Brampton or in Cooksville but

[2:48:35] at the same time ... we need to locate the

[2:48:39] sites where there's need they have to be close proximity

[2:48:42] to use approximate to the people who need them so

[2:48:46] I hope that it will be a consideration of when

[2:48:50] we're looking searching for the right location for the site's

[2:48:53] meaning can't be so far down the beaten path it

[2:48:57] the people who need them can't access them if you

[2:48:59] understand my point I understand the sensitivity in the downtown

[2:49:02] areas of that we're trying to grow and nurture but

[2:49:05] at the same time we've got a we've got to

[2:49:07] get those sites to the people who need them and

[2:49:09] have them be fairly close by thank you thank you

[2:49:14] counsel dissented I saw you weeping did you have another

[2:49:16] thought that before I deal with the motion

[2:49:19] thank you Mr chairman I think that staff ... are

[2:49:22] very ... aware of the concerns and so I think

[2:49:27] that if the amendment is to just be

[2:49:31] B. I. areas I think that that would suffice

[2:49:35] and then and this is just to achieve if you

[2:49:39] will expediency and finding a location that everyone can be

[2:49:42] happy with

[2:49:44] whether it's in Brampton or Mississauga

[2:49:47] okay and and can I be clear through to staff

[2:49:50] your you've heard that your thoughts

[2:49:53] through my eyes through the chair I think my only

[2:49:57] challenge is that I do not know in front of

[2:50:00] me exactly what geography word is covered by those zones

[2:50:04] and so ... recognizing that appendix two is a list

[2:50:07] of considerations and we'll do our best to optimize all

[2:50:10] the considerations on the list were very aware of such

[2:50:12] to be around ... the ongoing and planned revitalization of

[2:50:16] both of these areas and are committed to trying to

[2:50:19] situate the site

[2:50:21] you

[2:50:22] not necessarily in conflict with that ... we've had several

[2:50:25] discussions I just I would hesitate to commit to a

[2:50:28] specific geography if that's indeed what the proposal is so

[2:50:31] through having not is the phrase with due regard for

[2:50:34] can you live with that council dissenting yes this chair

[2:50:39] okay ... so that is the mode do I think

[2:50:42] we should get it up on the screen just so

[2:50:43] that we have absolute clarity particularly the salient clause

[2:50:50] at the end or if the clerk can read the

[2:50:51] salient clause ... with regards to bullet number two we're

[2:50:56] just taking a moment but I I wanna make sure

[2:50:58] we have an understand

[2:51:07] okay I will give it a moment it'll be up

[2:51:09] on the screen more mature the counselor to Maryland game

[2:51:17] sure I I hear what

[2:51:23] the chief medical officer saying that our I just want

[2:51:26] to put on the record fact

[2:51:28] a difficult for me to support

[2:51:31] transaction site that is

[2:51:35] in

[2:51:36] yeah

[2:51:38] that would negatively impact

[2:51:43] small business so we really have to be careful in

[2:51:45] balancing

[2:51:48] people's livelihoods and people's lives they're both very important so

[2:51:52] I just wanna make fact you know I just want

[2:51:55] to put that on the record but sensitive uses it's

[2:51:58] really important and how to leverage neighborhoods or small businesses

[2:52:05] or main street and so

[2:52:10] like better including

[2:52:12] well sensitive Matthews and I really hope that term the

[2:52:16] team will consider that seriously thank you thank you cancer

[2:52:19] Saito

[2:52:22] thank you Mr chair on

[2:52:25] I guess I'm I'm

[2:52:27] Sir struggling listening to to the comments and and what

[2:52:31] mayor Crombie said is you know did we not sit

[2:52:34] and listen to all of these heart breaking stories and

[2:52:37] recognize that they need is now ...

[2:52:43] in all day

[2:52:46] I guess I'd ask the medical officer of health

[2:52:51] are are people

[2:52:53] the people that we're trying to help

[2:52:56] in the areas that you are proposing the sites

[2:53:00] are they not

[2:53:03] I'm taking the drugs in those areas today or is

[2:53:08] nobody there

[2:53:14] there is a possibility of the chair no certainly the

[2:53:18] geographic concentration of overdoses is occurring already in these locations

[2:53:23] okay so you're not adding anything new

[2:53:28] and what is already happening in those business areas and

[2:53:33] I would I would think that

[2:53:36] what is happening today

[2:53:39] that is unsupervised

[2:53:42] has a lot more impact negative impact on the businesses

[2:53:47] that I know you're trying to protect

[2:53:50] then

[2:53:52] a safe supervised and can really stress the word supervise

[2:53:57] site would have

[2:53:59] so are I would urge my colleagues to

[2:54:03] to take a look at what's happening today and is

[2:54:05] that what you want to see a continuing to happen

[2:54:10] or would you prefer to have the region

[2:54:15] manages site

[2:54:17] well would be while but through the region managing a

[2:54:20] site in that same area

[2:54:24] that would hopefully clean up what is happening today

[2:54:29] and save lives

[2:54:33] anyway I'll I'll leave I'll leave it at that because

[2:54:36] you know if if the businesses and the residents and

[2:54:39] I understand their concerns we all do

[2:54:43] but you know sometimes nimbyism

[2:54:46] because lives

[2:54:48] and sometimes we have the region and our government have

[2:54:51] to make these tough decisions of things that we know

[2:54:54] are right

[2:54:56] and you cannot sit and listen

[2:55:00] to

[2:55:01] to the experiences

[2:55:04] very very sad and tragic experiences that we heard today

[2:55:07] and you know for people to come forward and share

[2:55:11] this heartbreak with us is not easy

[2:55:14] you can't sit and listen to it and then say

[2:55:16] oh but we don't want our neighbourhood it's in your

[2:55:19] neighborhood

[2:55:21] it's in your neighborhood and you have an opportunity we

[2:55:24] all have an opportunity to make it much safer in

[2:55:27] those neighbourhoods thank you Mr chair thank you Mr call

[2:55:30] me

[2:55:33] so

[2:55:35] I went for a little further than I was planning

[2:55:38] to but I do wholeheartedly agree with her you know

[2:55:42] they have the same science need to exist where the

[2:55:45] problems are notwithstanding the mainstream businesses I hear you I

[2:55:50] know I want them to thrive to so we're gonna

[2:55:53] ask that peel region you know use their discretion ...

[2:55:59] but they have to be accessible

[2:56:02] you know what to do otherwise it is not doing

[2:56:05] our duty as councillors

[2:56:07] honestly we could save lives here and that's very important

[2:56:11] to me and I'm sure the rest of the was

[2:56:13] well those stories were very compelling thank you

[2:56:17] thank you counselor demerit

[2:56:19] there I don't think anyone here is suggesting that

[2:56:25] we don't want to save lives or that we don't

[2:56:28] want it to be accessible

[2:56:30] we just trying to get a balance and I think

[2:56:32] once we have the L. R. T. mobility along going

[2:56:34] to charities for Mississauga will become very very easy are

[2:56:40] you could certainly make provisions for people to be able

[2:56:43] to use it cheaply ... so I I think that

[2:56:46] there's a way to square the circle where we can

[2:56:50] go on

[2:56:51] balance the needs of business as well as the needs

[2:56:53] of the local no one is saying it's one of

[2:56:55] the other and I think it would be unfair to

[2:56:58] characterize it as one of the other we're just trying

[2:57:01] to find that balance speaking out for our constituents because

[2:57:06] it is in our wards and I think sometimes it's

[2:57:08] a little bit easier when it's not in your ward

[2:57:12] ... but it's in the warm region all I'm trying

[2:57:15] to do and all that council this and is trying

[2:57:17] to do is

[2:57:18] find balance and see if we can work that no

[2:57:21] one is denying the need and no one is denying

[2:57:24] compassion just one

[2:57:27] thank you cancer Saito

[2:57:30] thank you Mr chair sorry for dropping back in but

[2:57:32] the comment that you know it's different if it's in

[2:57:34] your ward I said to staff many times I've appeal

[2:57:37] health clinic in my ward

[2:57:39] and I have to ask staff is that not a

[2:57:42] safe location to have this kind of a site because

[2:57:45] we have other services there

[2:57:47] the town that do assist people like this that are

[2:57:51] in this situation so

[2:57:53] you know it's it's not that those ambassadors sitting here

[2:57:57] who don't have those locations are several that's fine it's

[2:58:00] in your ward

[2:58:02] you know I mean

[2:58:05] people around this table were

[2:58:07] we're willing to take

[2:58:10] cannabis retail stores in some of those exact same sensitive

[2:58:14] areas but you can't take something that's going to save

[2:58:16] lives so I'm sorry I I just get really incensed

[2:58:20] bell said I would ask Mister chair if that new

[2:58:24] clause

[2:58:25] is going to

[2:58:28] in her

[2:58:29] that those areas would be exempt

[2:58:33] I I I have a concern that if we approved

[2:58:35] that red line plus

[2:58:38] that we won't be able to provide these facilities where

[2:58:43] the people are that needed and nobody's going to use

[2:58:46] the allergy to go somewhere else for a site

[2:58:49] I mean I'm sorry that that's you know it if

[2:58:52] they're in that area they live in that area that's

[2:58:56] where they are going to be and they're gonna be

[2:58:59] there they're going to be there but unfortunately they're going

[2:59:02] to be dying there too so sorry

[2:59:07] thank you I want to carry on with my list

[2:59:08] I had to Maryland in cal service center but I

[2:59:10] want to be clear on the clause I'm then going

[2:59:13] to ask staff very specifically what they understand that to

[2:59:16] mean so that we're all clear on it and then

[2:59:19] I'll try to get a resolution through so I council

[2:59:21] to Maryland yes

[2:59:28] difficult I can't hear you have to turn your microphone

[2:59:30] on please

[2:59:32] it's unfortunate I really don't want to go back and

[2:59:34] forth like this with council's leader but I did want

[2:59:36] to clarify that and so ... suggested certain locations in

[2:59:42] my ward yes so it's not that I didn't read

[2:59:46] the work but you know I have sent now in

[2:59:48] fact of modernist be to those locations but they're very

[2:59:52] much in the vicinity very accessible and the only reason

[2:59:55] I from BLR team listed herein Terrio is our main

[2:59:57] core and also it's not like you're saying it's tucked

[3:00:00] away it's on my point was to say that you

[3:00:03] and your is the main corridors and no one is

[3:00:05] suggesting that it is you know often some completely inaccessible

[3:00:10] and those were the only ones I was making all

[3:00:12] in all I'm trying to say here is I think

[3:00:15] there's a little bit of mis characterization and I just

[3:00:17] wanted to correct background that's all there is thank you

[3:00:21] accounts service center

[3:00:25] ... Mr Cher I really don't have anything more to

[3:00:28] add other than I know when you read appendix two

[3:00:32] ... it's ... it does have the operative word where

[3:00:35] possible a lot of the B. I. ace tends to

[3:00:38] be more the retail frontage if you will and there

[3:00:42] are many opportunities ...

[3:00:45] not how can I say ... worries proximal but not

[3:00:50] necessarily on the main the main road or or or

[3:00:54] Avenue and so ... I know in Edmonton for example

[3:00:59] ... and again going back to my experience in having

[3:01:02] these conversations in two thousand eighteen accounts for Samsonite we

[3:01:06] did survey a safe drug injection sites

[3:01:11] cross the country and we found that where was located

[3:01:16] centrally but not necessarily ... in a location that Tom

[3:01:22] would cause a lot of opposition because really that's what

[3:01:26] we're looking at ... or in an existing health facility

[3:01:32] and again keeping in mind that location really as important

[3:01:38] as everyone here has set up

[3:01:41] mayor Crombie spoke well to the importance of location for

[3:01:45] the success of the program we think it's also important

[3:01:48] for the acceptance of it

[3:01:50] thank you

[3:01:51] thank you so ... that exhaust my list and thank

[3:01:54] you for the conversation Madame clerk if we can have

[3:01:56] a copier if I can be clear because I wanna

[3:01:59] read the salient clause

[3:02:02] and let me read what I've got here I don't

[3:02:05] know if it's been added as number four is a

[3:02:07] separate bullet so what is been added as number four

[3:02:10] number two remains just as you have it number forward

[3:02:13] read that appendix two of the subject report include consideration

[3:02:17] of business improvement areas as sensitive land uses

[3:02:21] councillor resent is the more of the motion are you

[3:02:23] satisfied with that

[3:02:25] absolutely sure okay so what I'm gonna do now is

[3:02:28] normally we take them as read but but I must

[3:02:30] say Marie McKenna still here and out of respect to

[3:02:33] you in the memory of course I'm gonna read the

[3:02:35] entire motion today because I think it's so important and

[3:25:00] of all the delegates ins and all the correspondence on

[3:25:02] the matter regarding the ... the ... injection site that

[3:25:06] we just dealt with anybody opposed to that that is

[3:25:09] carried thank you we are going to carry on now

[3:25:11] with our deputations I've been asked for some indulgence I

[3:25:14] understand seven ten Peter gross council Collings has to leave

[3:25:18] in about five minutes so I'm happy to take that

[3:25:21] first of all I will remind all members of colleagues

[3:25:24] here that is with regards to item eleven point two

[3:25:26] which is a report that was here for received an

[3:25:29] impact was received on consent as well so be mindful

[3:25:32] of that so with that Mister gross I will indulge

[3:25:34] you for five minutes if you've got it would be

[3:25:36] up and running go ahead please

[3:25:41] thank you Mr chairman and members of council you to

[3:25:43] hear me Sir

[3:25:45] yes I am please proceed five minutes thank you very

[3:25:48] much

[3:25:50] hi good afternoon council my name is Peter gross with

[3:25:52] accounting W. L. G. I represent the American group

[3:25:56] and we're here today our because our client wishes to

[3:26:00] re developed lands at one thousand and one thousand twenty

[3:26:03] four Dundas street east in Mississauga four hundred and sixty

[3:26:06] two purpose built rental apartments with commercial uses a great

[3:26:10] here in support of the regional staff's recommendation that staff

[3:26:14] not right to Mr of municipal affairs and housing requesting

[3:26:18] a modification to the region's new official plan that was

[3:26:21] adopted on April twenty eight

[3:26:24] as adopted the new official plan does not designate our

[3:26:27] clients lands as within employment area

[3:26:31] to gather with staff our view is that our clients

[3:26:35] land should remain on employment in the new OP and

[3:26:37] council should refuse whether Parker's request to seek a modification

[3:26:41] from the minister to re designate the labs

[3:26:44] allowing the lands remain on employment is consistent with the

[3:26:48] provincial policy statement which requires optimization of public investment in

[3:26:52] higher order transit infrastructure through

[3:26:54] in particular mixed use development that includes residential uses to

[3:26:59] support complete communities

[3:27:01] the new OP appropriately designated the lands as non employment

[3:27:05] after years of extensive study and public input including years

[3:27:10] of engagement in the planning process by our clients in

[3:27:14] this regard the council should not exceed to mother Parkers

[3:27:16] last minute request to seek modifications to the new OP

[3:27:22] as councillors so much of planning involves balancing of competing

[3:27:27] objectives and priorities in this case council is being asked

[3:27:32] to choose employment uses over affordable housing we have said

[3:27:36] repeatedly that this does not need to be an either

[3:27:40] or decision to uses mother Parkers and our clients residential

[3:27:46] development can coexist and what our client seeks is merely

[3:27:50] the opportunity to establish compatibility to the city of Mississauga

[3:27:54] satisfaction

[3:27:56] our client is not asking that sensitive uses be approved

[3:27:59] today and in fact the new OP does not allow

[3:28:03] that to occur

[3:28:04] mother Parkers operations will remain fully protected by existing local

[3:28:09] ... keep policies the council heard about last night

[3:28:13] that require a land use compatibility study before any sensitive

[3:28:17] uses can be established on our clients laughs this ensures

[3:28:20] that mother Parkers can not only continue to operate but

[3:28:23] expand is necessary in the future additional protection is provided

[3:28:28] by the requirement that our clients lands must be designated

[3:28:32] first as class four by city council that is a

[3:28:36] decision city council would make

[3:28:38] approach taken by staff and regional council in adopting the

[3:28:41] new OP appropriately balance the interests of mother Parkers and

[3:28:45] our clients with a view to developing the Dundas corridor

[3:28:49] as a vibrant mixed use area that will support the

[3:28:52] public investment in transit provide desperately needed rental development

[3:28:58] and protecting the surrounding employment area including mother Parkers

[3:29:02] yeah review determination in this matter may well affect the

[3:29:06] entire corridor which runs along several words

[3:29:10] therefore ask simple and that is why and it being

[3:29:13] brief today we simply respectfully request that council formal staff's

[3:29:17] advice supported the new OP and you know I mother

[3:29:21] Parkers request to seek a modification to the land use

[3:29:24] designations for our clients property that is what's reasonable that

[3:29:30] is what's there given our signs multi year investment in

[3:29:33] the planning process person's mother Parkers last minute request

[3:29:38] we have our noise consultants flat because of available should

[3:29:42] you have any questions regarding the technical aspects of the

[3:29:45] class for designation and he is available to answer any

[3:29:48] questions from council as a boy I'm happy to answer

[3:29:51] any questions and that concludes my comments this morning

[3:29:55] Peter thank you for your presentation and I see no

[3:29:58] questions at this time so I will carry on with

[3:30:01] our delegates now going to serve on the same subject

[3:30:03] seven point eight David Tang partner Miller Thomson on behalf

[3:30:07] of mother Parkers coffee and tea David you have five

[3:30:09] minutes thank you very much Mr chairman members of council

[3:30:13] hi my name's David Chang and I'm the solicitor for

[3:30:15] ... mother Parkers tea and coffee and we have on

[3:30:19] behalf of our client S. regional council to ask ...

[3:30:22] the minister of missile fears and housing to modify the

[3:30:26] people official plans for the land south of Dundas street

[3:30:29] between Haynes and bundle roads to keep them in the

[3:30:32] regional employment area and let me start off by apologizing

[3:30:36] once again on behalf of mother Parkers I councils having

[3:30:38] to deal with this so late in the opening process

[3:30:42] but it's ... I just didn't want to remind you

[3:30:44] that this is because the study indicating and demonstrating the

[3:30:47] problem was only initiated because model mother Parkers itself started

[3:30:53] to implement a new process in this plan just this

[3:30:56] year the study was however timely enough to affect the

[3:30:59] City of Mississauga's opiate process for the Donbass ... connects

[3:31:04] master plan process and that of course is the one

[3:31:07] significant change that has occurred since we all last road

[3:31:11] or appeared before you so this week Mississauga ... approved

[3:31:16] to the draft ... Don desk connects master plan official

[3:31:20] plan amendment that retains these lands the ones that ...

[3:31:25] Mr viruses client and others in the vicinity to be

[3:31:29] within the Dixie employment area and most importantly it adds

[3:31:34] a special policy that requires will be on municipally lattice

[3:31:38] city lad assessment of the industrial impacts on those lands

[3:31:43] and where it is determined that those impacts are going

[3:31:46] to be acceptable would allow for a misleading issued official

[3:31:51] plan amendment to remove those lands from the employment area

[3:31:55] and allow for residential development

[3:31:57] most importantly though if not if they're not acceptable not

[3:32:01] appropriate the balancing results in a

[3:32:05] we shouldn't be converted then they would remain employment lands

[3:32:10] and I don't suggest this is the correct approach much

[3:32:12] better than process that we're engaging right now we're we're

[3:32:16] all writing to you as council with various bits of

[3:32:21] information that nobody's had a chance to really review

[3:32:25] and quite frankly the material that has been provided to

[3:32:28] you by the on the truth is simply not accurate

[3:32:31] or complete that doesn't include the detailed work to assess

[3:32:34] all the actually sources

[3:32:36] there's simply disagreement between ... the landowners in the area

[3:32:41] on the use of what should happen and the use

[3:32:44] of that class for area approach to keep talking about

[3:32:48] the Mississauga official plan amendment approach allows for the full

[3:32:53] review and the recommendations by this fall staff to you

[3:32:57] about what should happen with the assistance of neutral experts

[3:33:00] that we know the city intends to retain for that

[3:33:02] assessment

[3:33:04] I need to recognize that mother Parkers a review request

[3:33:07] one meter in your may have been a perfect have

[3:33:10] you reviewed your regional staff's comments about the need to

[3:33:13] account for commercial retail uses being permitted in these areas

[3:33:17] since they're not sensitive land uses mother Parkers would like

[3:33:21] to modify its requested more regional council

[3:33:24] we'd like to now ask council to request the minister

[3:33:26] to modify the peel regional official plan to keep keep

[3:33:30] those properties between eighteen and one toll roads within the

[3:33:34] regional plan area but with specific policies that allow commercial

[3:33:39] and retail uses which are not noise or older sensitive

[3:33:43] to be permitted and then that would be subject to

[3:33:46] the city of Mississauga official plan policies but those uses

[3:33:50] that change allows everybody's interests and the submissions to be

[3:33:53] properly assessed and if that assessment requires ... required by

[3:33:58] the city of Mississauga clears the way for residential development

[3:34:02] the official plans can then be properly amended to allow

[3:34:06] those sensitive uses to come in while in the interim

[3:34:09] there's no question retail commercial uses I can continue to

[3:34:13] be carried on here in this location orchard or even

[3:34:15] added

[3:34:17] mother party request does not result in a permanent prohibition

[3:34:20] against residential valid it simply protects the employment uses while

[3:34:24] the feasibility is explored in greater detail and while our

[3:34:27] present information indicates it cannot physically located here if the

[3:34:31] city's assessment shows it can can be modified to allow

[3:34:35] for that but only after appropriate consideration so that's mother

[3:34:39] Parkers request that council ask ministry the ministry to modify

[3:34:44] the PLO peace to keep these lands within the employment

[3:34:47] areas but with policies specifically allowing retail and commercial uses

[3:34:52] to remain

[3:34:53] thank you I'm happy to answer any questions that may

[3:34:55] arise

[3:34:57] thank you I see no questions on my screen for

[3:35:00] David David thank you very much for your presentation I

[3:35:03] go to our last delegate on the matter seven point

[3:35:06] nine John Lomas director plan logic consulting Inc John welcome

[3:35:11] Johns in the chamber welcome John

[3:35:15] and you've got 5 minutes welcome

[3:35:23] thank you very much Mr chairman members of council my

[3:35:26] name is John Loomis I'm a registered professional land use

[3:35:30] planning consultant in the director of planning logic consulting incorporated

[3:35:34] my client to Mississauga Muslim community center owns a property

[3:35:38] at two five oh five Dixie road is located on

[3:35:42] the side of Dixie road northwest of the Dixie gold

[3:35:45] train station the use the existing building for a place

[3:35:48] of worship as well as a food bank for people

[3:35:50] of all faiths they have thousands of congregants who live

[3:35:54] not only in ward one and three but also within

[3:35:57] the city of Mississauga and region of peel

[3:36:00] the reason I'm here today is that

[3:36:04] the Mississauga Muslim community centered supports the regional official plan

[3:36:10] as adopted

[3:36:12] and we find it very disturbing that you have someone

[3:36:16] who is fully conversant in the planning process Mr Tang

[3:36:20] coming to you at the eleventh hour asking for changes

[3:36:24] when we have actively participated in the approval process

[3:36:30] secondly

[3:36:32] the city Mississauga are not treating the land south of

[3:36:36] Dundas street equally the lands that my client owns ...

[3:36:42] are being taken out of the employment area and their

[3:36:45] policies that require compatibility can studies to ensure that they

[3:36:51] are compatible with industrial uses to the south the city

[3:36:56] is not taking the same approach on the lands which

[3:37:00] are located between Blundell and hangings solely in response to

[3:37:06] the submissions from mother Parkers so we are

[3:37:10] a concern about the precedent this would set because the

[3:37:15] Muslim Mississauga Muslim community center is looking at potential residential

[3:37:20] redevelopment of their property immediately adjacent to the goal station

[3:37:25] which is supported by provincial policy supported by regional policy

[3:37:30] and that's where the city of Mississauga official plan is

[3:37:33] looking for tall buildings so we are very concerned about

[3:37:36] the precedent this would set and how it's treating different

[3:37:42] parts of the employment area differently and we see no

[3:37:45] rationale for an exhibition thank you

[3:37:48] thank you councillor Gustafson us your hand up do you

[3:37:51] have a question of the delegates

[3:37:55] as thank you venture actually it's it's not so much

[3:37:57] a question the delegate I just thought I'd just make

[3:37:59] it I've got three of these speakers have come forward

[3:38:03] and I and I do know that it is this

[3:38:05] ... that these two items that go on consent but

[3:38:07] I just I just make a quick comment like it

[3:38:09] sucks so Steven what I'm gonna do it for I'm

[3:38:11] gonna come right back to you does anybody have any

[3:38:14] questions of the delicate

[3:38:16] seeing none I'm gonna ask answer desk one Fonseca move

[3:38:19] receipt of all the delegates is there anybody opposed that

[3:38:23] is carried you're right it was done without consent but

[3:38:25] I open it up concert asco go ahead

[3:38:29] thank you to the chair and thank you for indulging

[3:38:31] me on this I'll just be very very brief this

[3:38:34] is been a ... again unto itself ... this is

[3:38:38] been a last minute in in planning kind of ...

[3:38:41] world ... in last minute issue just because of ...

[3:38:46] the way that the ...

[3:38:49] that the planning growth committee

[3:38:52] ... you don't have had the item or or thought

[3:38:55] we had an item but ... but something was missed

[3:38:58] and ... and so this is if this had been

[3:39:00] spoken to ... with regards to ... the chair the

[3:39:04] committee as well she's spoken to it to add to

[3:39:06] add planning development committee also and ... something that I've

[3:39:11] tried to bring to our P. O. planning staff to

[3:39:14] what to look at the address ... they told me

[3:39:16] that it's not necessary that other comfortable leaving it in

[3:39:19] the city's hands to to deal with we then heard

[3:39:23] from Wells for example the almond group and some other

[3:39:28] ... some others involved in this particular corridor including mother

[3:39:33] Parkers and ... and what has gone for at our

[3:39:37] planning and development committee is to have five some more

[3:39:41] fulsome investigation done by third party on this and this

[3:39:45] is where ...

[3:39:46] you know hopefully were able to get some homework done

[3:39:49] on this to put it put everybody in a better

[3:39:51] a better spot and deaths it has some good

[3:39:55] aerial faxed to this so what should I just wanted

[3:39:58] to ... to say that ... I appreciate all the

[3:40:01] speakers coming in but at the same time ... to

[3:40:03] be honest I'm I'm not overly thrilled that this is

[3:40:06] now in the city's hands but at least in the

[3:40:08] city stands a Mississauga will be ... some more fulsome

[3:40:13] investigation done through a third party thank you

[3:40:16] okay thank you so the matter was dealt with architects

[3:40:18] house or parish one last thought go ahead

[3:40:23] yes I just wanted to thank her

[3:40:26] is your judgment for the report and we can pass

[3:40:29] on consent it seems reasonable ... this is a our

[3:40:32] integrated problem as cash councillor Daskal said it's kind of

[3:40:37] in Mississauga's pocket right now so the recommendation we passed

[3:40:42] ... from Christian Keely I approve of thank you

[3:40:45] okay thank you so the matters been dealt with thank

[3:40:47] you to all moving on then that concludes our delegations

[3:40:51] were on to items that were held on consent by

[3:40:53] members of council first up item nine point one twenty

[3:40:56] twenty one homelessness point in time count results councillor plushie

[3:41:01] thank you much very much ... Mister chair Mister chairman

[3:41:04] going through the report and ... I guess to through

[3:41:07] you Mr chair to Sean Baird ... going through the

[3:41:10] report I saw a lot of great information that came

[3:41:13] out of this forty three staff members worked on this

[3:41:15] and in the one day in October of last year

[3:41:18] mandated by ... the province and the federal government ...

[3:41:24] so in in every time I will I kind of

[3:41:27] thought to the next page and highlighted ... some good

[3:41:30] data that that we're getting out of this in the

[3:41:33] back of my mind it kept on coming to me

[3:41:36] that this was only one day one day in October

[3:41:39] that

[3:41:40] know what the conditions were like that day could be

[3:41:42] strained it could have been cold a lot of I

[3:41:45] think variables that could have happened on this one particular

[3:41:49] day ... so I guess my questions are along the

[3:41:53] lines of having her being ordered to to do this

[3:41:58] once every two years by the by the province and

[3:42:02] the feds ... and in in looking at ... some

[3:42:06] of the the results in particular ... for the interpretation

[3:42:12] of this account to be used with caution ... because

[3:42:16] of the one day ... you know how

[3:42:21] is is there I guess abilities to to expand on

[3:42:25] this and and potentially ... make this you know mmhm

[3:42:30] more accurate you havent done quarterly or ... is this

[3:42:35] something that you get regional council should be saying to

[3:42:40] the operational arms of the government to say he you

[3:42:43] know don't ask us to do this we're already doing

[3:42:47] other things to to get this information will provide you

[3:42:51] with with that information I'm I'm just trying to get

[3:42:54] a better understanding because I just don't see as you

[3:42:58] know when one particular day in October of last year

[3:43:01] especially you know it and going through covert as well

[3:43:05] ... with all the ... you know the variables in

[3:43:08] that in the roadblocks of track caused as well or

[3:43:11] just want to really get a comment from from commissioner

[3:43:15] Baird and see what his thoughts on the matter were

[3:43:18] commissioner Burk

[3:43:19] thank you and through the chair thank you counsel and

[3:43:22] we share your concerns the you know it's not a

[3:43:25] ideal way to collect this data ... it's done this

[3:43:28] way by the province and the feds essentially so that

[3:43:30] they can compare across different regions and different municipalities

[3:43:36] ... you know we have lots of other ways that

[3:43:37] we collect information I can share for you for example

[3:43:39] that we actually have thousands of clients who moved through

[3:43:42] our shelter system for example in a given year so

[3:43:45] wala wala one day count your lands us in the

[3:43:47] in the I think was a hundreds ... that's simply

[3:43:49] not indicative of the total homelessness population that we have

[3:43:53] here in the region of peel and so we know

[3:43:55] that and we know that our programs are are driving

[3:43:57] towards increasing those services what it does do that's helpful

[3:44:00] I think is it is it does show the increase

[3:44:03] over time right so there there is clearly an increase

[3:44:06] in the total homelessness population within the region of peel

[3:44:09] and that's helpful information for us to have you on

[3:44:12] your question of should we be doing this more regularly

[3:44:15] should be to find a different way we actually have

[3:44:18] a piece of work under way right now to look

[3:44:20] at our service levels ... across housing and that's something

[3:44:23] that's going to be coming back to council early in

[3:44:25] the new year and I would suggest this is a

[3:44:27] that would be a good topic for discussion at that

[3:44:30] time when we take another look at how do our

[3:44:33] homelessness programs line up how to our housing programs line

[3:44:35] up how do they serve to meet the needs and

[3:44:38] how do we measure those this would not be our

[3:44:40] metric of choice in terms of how we measure demand

[3:44:43] ... but happy to bring for more information about how

[3:44:46] we do propose to go for measuring demand how we

[3:44:48] want to think about aligning our services to that in

[3:44:50] the future comfortable as she that works thank you Mr

[3:44:53] chairman thank you commissioner bear for that and I think

[3:44:55] it's right you know if I have the honor of

[3:44:57] being a counselor in ... in January when this does

[3:45:00] come back I think maybe that that's trying to have

[3:45:03] another conversation around this and and looking out over other

[3:45:06] ways that we can achieve ... you know there are

[3:45:09] strategies that going forward and not just checking a box

[3:45:12] from the fence in the province that's what I feel

[3:45:15] like this is but but thank you for that and

[3:45:17] thank you to all the staff that did a tremendous

[3:45:19] amount of work on that day forty three that ...

[3:45:23] and I'm sure just wasn't that day was whose whole

[3:45:26] lot of information and data collected ... since then so

[3:45:30] thank you for to all the hard work that staff

[3:45:32] did on us thank you Mr thank you with that

[3:45:35] come

[3:45:35] surplus she has moved receipt seconded by councillor simpler any

[3:45:39] opposed that is carried the other item held on consent

[3:45:42] item nine point three five SR nine fifty eight nine

[3:45:46] sixty east Avenue affordable housing redevelopment update councillor Daskal

[3:45:52] thank you to the chair and ... just wanted to

[3:45:56] ask some questions with regards to this this is a

[3:46:00] it's quite troubling

[3:46:03] so I just wanted to ask ... first of all

[3:46:05] his

[3:46:06] and until this reports come forward as this plan been

[3:46:10] on schedule as as was everyone

[3:46:14] through to

[3:46:17] so if you try and ask ... alien Baird our

[3:46:19] director of housing to she's already in the call so

[3:46:22] she can comment on the project Alene if you heard

[3:46:24] the question I trust go ahead

[3:46:28] thank you counsel asking entry you chair ... east Avenue

[3:46:32] project like all of our housing development projects to schedules

[3:46:36] really have been impacted and slow down ... as a

[3:46:40] result of the pandemic ... so we are we are

[3:46:44] behind schedule ... but but are making progress that we're

[3:46:49] making steady progress but yes the project is is behind

[3:46:53] schedule

[3:46:55] I guess my next question on this is when we

[3:46:58] were going through the planning process

[3:47:00] we were trying to

[3:47:03] there had been some previous work done by the community

[3:47:05] and I'm by myself in our planning staff and I

[3:47:09] was ... essentially told that couldn't continue much more because

[3:47:12] we're in now in desperate need of ... of of

[3:47:15] this housing and we were about to lose our funding

[3:47:17] if it didn't get ... adopted right away so I'm

[3:47:20] just wondering

[3:47:22] perhaps somebody could fill me in on if something's changed

[3:47:26] terror if I missed something because ...

[3:47:29] ... has as many no on this especially from from

[3:47:33] people stop in our planning staff the city ... this

[3:47:36] is been this far as I'm concerned I very challenging

[3:47:38] file

[3:47:41] yes thank you again councillor Daskal so as you know

[3:47:44] last summer we received the ... official plan amendment and

[3:47:48] rezoning ... requirements with the city of Mississauga

[3:47:52] since then you know we have gone out to secure

[3:47:57] ... vendors to actually see you know started construction of

[3:48:01] this project and not not proved to be very difficult

[3:48:05] we've gone back out in of now pre qualified we're

[3:48:07] at the stage where we pre qualified vendors who can

[3:48:10] now enter into a negotiated R. P. process with us

[3:48:13] so that's the stage we're act with council approval today

[3:48:16] that'll be the next step will go into a negotiated

[3:48:18] R. P. process and actually secure the vendor you know

[3:48:22] to start to work with us I designed new builder

[3:48:25] to start to do this project with us as to

[3:48:28] your question around finding it is a it is a

[3:48:31] ... consideration this project has regional ... provincial and federal

[3:48:36] funding attached to it and that funding does come with

[3:48:39] requirements to spend within that within a certain amount of

[3:48:42] time and again because of cold would we have we've

[3:48:45] had to go back constantly to the other levels of

[3:48:47] government to renegotiate ten and ... explained you know some

[3:48:52] of these delays that are largely driven by the pandemic

[3:48:55] and they've been cooperating with us but it is a

[3:48:57] consideration week there are time constraints upon us and requirements

[3:49:02] of other levels of government in regards to the funding

[3:49:04] that they are contributing to this project

[3:49:07] okay so they were okay with that but I guess

[3:49:10] they wouldn't have been okay if we tried to get

[3:49:12] the building

[3:49:14] a little a little more a little more in tune

[3:49:17] with what the committee was asking for

[3:49:23] so the other levels of government really don't and the

[3:49:25] funding requirements don't speak to that level of detail counts

[3:49:28] for Daskal so big they are silent on the matter

[3:49:30] of whether it's four stories five stories or seven stories

[3:49:34] okay and I'm just asking because ... to be honest

[3:49:40] you know I was also told during this process that

[3:49:42] we really couldn't get get down from seven stories on

[3:49:45] to anything else and ... another design issues just because

[3:49:48] of our timing and budget so I'm just I'm just

[3:49:52] asking some of those questions here because people in the

[3:49:54] community are now gonna want and demand and rightfully so

[3:49:58] ... answers from why we went from a fifty five

[3:50:02] million to ninety million dollars and they're not be too

[3:50:05] pleased that it's still the same result save for it

[3:50:08] looks like the underground parking has been adjusted a bit

[3:50:13] can you just give me a brief update on that

[3:50:15] please

[3:50:17] yes so I can't speak to the specifics of the

[3:50:20] underground parking but can't say that that was one of

[3:50:22] the reasons the cost of gone up right so that

[3:50:25] the initial design did not include underground parking and that

[3:50:27] is a significant cost driver is contributing to the to

[3:50:31] the request that's before council today so absolutely the new

[3:50:35] building does include underground parking

[3:50:38] okay and then I guess the other things is fantastic

[3:50:42] is with regards to there is ... there's ongoing talk

[3:50:45] and I listen and I'm hoping this is still the

[3:50:47] case ... between that city of Mississauga and and the

[3:50:52] region to come up with a ...

[3:50:55] public ground shared space that's something that's kind of that

[3:50:58] flows together so ...

[3:51:01] with with the change in the underground parking allow for

[3:51:04] more

[3:51:05] sh more land space on on at the start of

[3:51:10] the site

[3:51:12] yeah so again through you chair so in the regional

[3:51:16] plan maybe be above ground parking of course is is

[3:51:20] is no longer there and so we're able to reconsider

[3:51:23] yeah the use of space above ground and as you

[3:51:27] looted to there's ongoing conversations with the city about about

[3:51:30] those things

[3:51:32] okay all right so I just would like to have

[3:51:34] direction to staff that ... that this land is factored

[3:51:39] in

[3:51:40] I had to ... to what we're looking to do

[3:51:43] hopefully looking to do ... collaboratively with that with the

[3:51:47] city and the region

[3:51:49] in that space so if I can if I could

[3:51:52] put that forward and then ...

[3:51:58] and I think those are really the questions I do

[3:52:00] have for now but it comes down to that space

[3:52:02] and also I just want to ensure that the materials

[3:52:06] and I think we had been talking through our stuff

[3:52:08] in place and ... and then terminate recently learned value

[3:52:13] engineered and that we're not value engineering any parts of

[3:52:16] the building now

[3:52:20] I will take direction countered asco and myself and the

[3:52:23] team will continue to work closely with you in the

[3:52:25] community as we you know as we continue to move

[3:52:29] forward on this project

[3:52:31] okay all right thanks Eileen I I appreciate your work

[3:52:35] on this ... and yeah we just have that is

[3:52:38] direction staff and I'm happy to move it at the

[3:52:40] appropriate time

[3:52:42] thank you thank and quite currently putem it's remarkable what's

[3:52:46] happened in the cost of these things even for consumers

[3:52:48] trying to buy one the eight nine hundred square foot

[3:52:50] condo per square foot now is eleven twelve thirteen hundred

[3:52:53] and we fell subject to it as well because the

[3:52:56] chair had some questions about the populace well ... so

[3:52:59] there there you have it but but well put any

[3:53:01] councillor Daskal you're retelling of the history is quite correct

[3:53:04] I have to acknowledge that as well but with that

[3:53:06] thank you for your comments and your moving the motion

[3:53:08] seconded by councillor Mollen a taken as read but just

[3:53:11] the salient points that the budget be increased by thirty

[3:53:14] five million dollars from fifty four million to ninety by

[3:53:16] transferring thirty three million from housing master plan capital projects

[3:53:20] fund and by transferring one point five million from the

[3:53:22] climate change and your energy management capital project fund you're

[3:53:26] for the motion is there anybody in objection

[3:53:29] hearing no one that carries and that brings me down

[3:53:34] to with so many items held on consent ... counselor

[3:53:39] with regards to other business council fourteen I said you

[3:53:42] had an enquiring with regards to something I said you

[3:53:44] could raise it another business I think we had a

[3:53:46] chance to chat on it as well councillor fourteen now's

[3:53:49] the time to raise that will we'll see where we

[3:53:51] go from there go ahead

[3:53:57] councillor 14

[3:54:02] maybe I'll help a bit council fourteen he was asking

[3:54:04] some of the council Mitchell was an ongoing contract of

[3:54:06] a major construction that we're working on after the fact

[3:54:09] you know the debate between the person that did work

[3:54:11] in us and you know was the budgeting right except

[3:54:13] or should we become safe but it's before our legal

[3:54:16] folks and their legal folks is being negotiated and discussed

[3:54:19] and art because I made enquiries on behalf of it

[3:54:21] the councillors approached me and I spoke with the the

[3:54:24] cancer in between our lunch break to say that it's

[3:54:26] a work in progress and that they're represented we're represented

[3:54:29] they're working it through and at some point it'll come

[3:54:32] back to us hopefully with the resolution and he seems

[3:54:34] satisfied with that so that's what his inquire we was

[3:54:37] nine I think he's glad that everybody's best efforts are

[3:54:39] going into and hopefully it's on its way to resolution

[3:54:42] and maybe why he stepped off as well knowing that

[3:54:45] while I've said that address that I come back to

[3:54:59] to help staff

[3:55:51] production have actually not had any resources to for ...

[3:55:57] but we're looking for us remove from and in fact

[3:56:01] we have expanded our harm reduction operations because many of

[3:56:05] our community partners have been limited in their ability to

[3:56:07] serve clients ... so the mo bile bands continue to

[3:56:10] serve the entire community in terms of harm reduction supplies

[3:56:13] and were working to reopen the fixed clinics as quickly

[3:56:16] as possible ... recognizing that their multi use clinics and
