[26:04] Hey Mister chair Mister like to hold twenty twenty one
[26:07] almost in this point in time count results with

[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
[27:31] to regional council agenda be approved under the consent agenda

[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

[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

[2:03:17] 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
[2:03:58] get me that day as we change phone providers at
[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

[2:08:16] consumption site a clean out of its not for Nate
[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

[3:25:06] 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

[3:53:46] 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

[3:55:57] 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
