[5:35] We'll now move to the public meeting component of our meeting. Zoning bylaw

[5:39] 09 2026 20447 concession road 3 go I believe Mrs. Haley will be speaking on

[5:46] this

[6:12] Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Good evening, everyone. We have uh one item at our

[6:16] public meeting this evening. This is a public meeting under section 34 of the

[6:20] Ontario Planning Act. Any person may attend this public meeting and or make

[6:25] written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the

[6:28] proposed zoning bylaw amendment. If a person or public body would otherwise

[6:32] have an ability to appeal the decision of the council of the township of South

[6:35] Glengary to the Ontario Land Tribunal, also known as the OOLT, but the person

[6:41] or public body does not make oral submissions at this meeting or make

[6:44] written submissions to the council of the township of Southgary before the

[6:47] bylaws decided upon, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal

[6:52] the decision. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a

[6:56] public meeting or make written submissions to the township of Southland

[6:59] Gary before the bylaws decided upon, the person or public body may not be added

[7:04] as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the OOLT unless there are

[7:08] reasonable grounds to do so. This amendment is known as the GRO

[7:12] zoning amendment. We're going to complete a presentation followed by a

[7:16] question and answer period if required. The subject loca the subject property is

[7:21] located at part of lot 36 concession 3 in the geographic township of Lancaster

[7:27] now in the township of South Bengary surrounding the lands located at 20447

[7:33] concession road 3. So you see this is the land that we're talking about and

[7:38] this corner on the right hand side of the subject property contains an

[7:42] existing dwelling which I'll speak about in a second. The purpose of this

[7:46] amendment is to reszone the subject property from agriculture to

[7:50] agricultural exception 41 to reduce the minimum lot area from 20 hectares or

[7:56] 49.42 acres to 4.73 hectares or 11.69 acres and to prohibit residential

[8:03] construction. All other applicable provisions of zoning bylaw 3809 as

[8:07] amended will continue to apply. The applicant had applied for a consent

[8:13] or we what we know as a severance to uh remove the dwelling from the subject

[8:18] lands known as a surplus uh farm house dwelling application. The applicant was

[8:24] given provisional severance approval by the United Counties of SDNG on May 19th,

[8:28] 2026. The file is known as B1826

[8:33] and there's a condition that was um required as part of the approval to

[8:37] reszone the subject property to reduce the minimum lot area and to uh prohibit

[8:41] residential construction and that is a requirement of the uh provincial

[8:45] planning statement from the province. So we have a photo couple photos of um the

[8:50] area. So, this is the subject um house that was severed off. And then you can

[8:57] see some land on this side. And then over here is the farmland that we're

[9:01] looking about looking at uh reszoning and uh preserving.

[9:10] A notice of public meeting was circulated to the neighboring property

[9:12] owners within 120 meters. A sign was erected on the severed land and um uh

[9:19] along Concession Road 3 and an ad was placed in the standard freeholder. Staff

[9:23] have not received any written or oral comments regarding the proposed uh

[9:26] amendment to date. This is a a slide that represents uh our zoning on the

[9:32] left hand side in the green or my left hand side. The green represents the

[9:36] agricultural zone and on the right hand side is the uh county official plan

[9:41] designation and it's kind of a beige color and that represents uh

[9:44] agricultural resource designated area. So as I mentioned the property is

[9:50] currently designated agricultural resource and zoned agricultural

[9:54] as per delegated authority bylaw 052023. The zoning amendment application will

[9:59] not be brought back to council for a decision, uh, delegated authority has

[10:03] been granted to myself for approval. So, seeing as how we've received no uh,

[10:07] comments from the public prior to tonight's meeting, um, assuming we may

[10:11] not receive any further any uh, comments this evening, if everything goes well,

[10:16] we'll pass that bylaw a little later uh, this week and that helps speed up the

[10:21] process and we're not having to bring a report back to the next uh, council

[10:24] meeting and we're able to do appeal an appeal period much sooner.

[10:28] So, I'll turn it over to you, Mr. Mayor. We do have the applicant in the

[10:31] audience. Mr. Garrow is sitting over there and uh I'm sure he'd be happy to

[10:35] answer any questions if uh you need him to.

[10:39] » Thank you. Um does anybody from around council table have any questions at

[10:43] present? Any members of the public? Do you wish to add add anything to the

[10:51] Okay, Deputy Mayor Lang. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Yeah, I I know

[10:55] we're not voting on it or anything, but I will just speak in favor of it. It

[10:58] makes a lot of sense and I have no issue with it at all.

[11:03] » I think that's probably echoed from round council. Yeah. Okay, then I don't

[11:08] think there's any caveats on this one. So, all right. Well, thank you for your

[11:11] attendance and and then we're good to go.

[11:18] All right. Next up is presentations and delegations. The Glengary Memorial

[11:22] Hospital Foundation Please proceed if you'd wish. The

[11:26] lectern is up here.

[11:53] I'll be I'll be quick. [clears throat]

[11:57] Excuse me. Mayor McDonald, members of council, staff, and members of the

[12:02] public who were um thank you for welcoming us this evening. Uh first, uh

[12:08] a quick little aside. Congratulations on uh your acclamations, which I had

[12:12] mentioned earlier, and best of luck to everybody in the upcoming race. My name

[12:16] [clears throat] is Michael Madden. For those who are not aware, I'm here

[12:19] tonight as vice chair of the board of directors for the Opal Glengary Memorial

[12:24] Hospital Foundation. And joining me tonight is our past

[12:29] chair, Pierre Vancenor, and uh our excuse me, fundraising

[12:34] [clears throat] manager, Kim Horrenio. Uh Robert Aldred

[12:39] Hughes was scheduled to be here, but has not been able to attend. We sincerely

[12:43] appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about something that matters for

[12:47] every resident of South Glengary, the future of healthcare in our community.

[12:52] I'm sure most if not all of you have benefited from the services of the

[12:56] hospital at some point in time. Personally, I and every member of my

[13:01] family have been served well by the hospital

[13:04] uh at many points in time. Every family hopes they will never need

[13:13] to uh will never need the services of Hopeel Glare Memorial Hospital. Yet when

[13:19] the day comes, whether it is for a child, whether uh with an injury, a

[13:25] parent suffering a stroke or a loved one facing a life-changing diagnosis,

[13:29] nothing matters more than knowing that quality care is available close to home.

[13:35] That is why we are here tonight. Our foundation is in the final seven months

[13:39] of a communitywide campaign to bring a CT scanner to Hopital Glengary Memorial

[13:45] Hospital. Thank you. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of residents,

[13:50] businesses, service clubs, municipalities, and community partners.

[13:55] We have built tremendous momentum. We are now approaching the final stretch

[14:00] of a $3.5 million campaign and we are asking South Glengary Council to help us

[14:06] cross the finish line. A CT scanner is much more than a piece

[14:10] of medical equipment. It means fact faster diagnosis. It means quicker

[14:15] treatment decisions. It means fewer residents traveling outside our

[14:20] community during some of the most stressful times moments of their lives.

[14:24] Most importantly, it means better care close to home. Be a healer is the

[14:29] tagline for the campaign. It can be said, "We are all healers." In a rural

[14:34] community, healing doesn't begin when someone arrives at the hospital. It

[14:39] begins when neighbors support neighbors. It happens when volunteers give their

[14:44] time, when local businesses contribute, and when community leaders invest in the

[14:50] services that keep families healthy and safe. Tonight, council has an

[14:54] opportunity to join that community effort. We respectfully ask that council

[14:59] direct staff to include a $10,000 contribution towards the HDM Foundation

[15:05] CT scanner campaign within the township's 2027 budget, allowing the

[15:11] incoming council to consider and approve the contribution following the municipal

[15:18] election and their first budget deliberations.

[15:22] The timing would align perfectly with the final phase of our campaign as we

[15:26] work towards achieving our three $3.5 million goal. The presentation that

[15:31] follows will demonstrate why this investment is so important not only for

[15:36] our hospital but for every resident of North Glengary.

[15:40] My apologies South Glengary and Glengary who depend on timely access to quality

[15:45] health care. At this time, it is my pleasure to introduce our fundraising

[15:49] manager, Kim Horrenio, who will walk you through the campaign, the data behind

[15:54] the need, and the impact a CT scanner will have on our community.

[16:05] » Sorry, it's quite high. Hi, thank you so much for this

[16:10] opportunity to present our fundraising campaign. Um this is u um an a really

[16:16] great opportunity to also let you know um I'm sure that you are all familiar

[16:20] with what the hospital look looks like and I'm here tonight to let you know

[16:25] about what happens beyond our hospital doors as Mike has mentioned.

[16:30] Sorry too. As Mike said at HGMH and in our

[16:36] foundation we believe that healing does not start once a patient comes in

[16:40] through our doors. It happens when community members, neighbors or help one

[16:44] another. This is our firm belief and I'm going to walk you through as to

[16:48] especially in our rural community that matters.

[16:53] Okay. We are really proud of our hospital.

[16:58] It's it has started its operations in 1965 making it 61 years in operation. At

[17:04] to date it has 37 beds. Once upon a time there was an OB wing where people were

[17:11] um born but now we there's um there's no more service like that but it doesn't

[17:16] mean that we um we don't have a lot of really strong services in our hospital.

[17:21] Um we are really proud to have a 24-hour emergency department. Um, whenever I

[17:25] speak with people in our community, they always say, "We're really lucky to have

[17:29] a hospital right beside us." And I think from especially in your perspective,

[17:34] really that proximity to a hospital matters, right? Um, what I want to zone

[17:39] in on this number, 72,000 patients for a small rural hospital, we served 72,000

[17:46] patients in fiscal year 2026. And in 20 fiscal year 2025, we served 54,000

[17:53] patients. That really shows the the demand for care in our community.

[18:01] And in this slide, I'm going to be sharing what those numbers represent. So

[18:07] in 2026, HGM delivered 18,700 emergency visits. We also delivered

[18:15] 17,500 plus diagnostic imaging procedures, 22,500 plus laboratory tests

[18:22] and 2,000 plus outpatient visits. Some of you may not know that we have

[18:27] specialists in our hospital such as urology, gynecology and respirology. So

[18:32] even as as a small and mighty hospital, we really have a slew of services and

[18:38] this really truly matters especially for our community um that we are there's a

[18:43] pro uh there's a proximity to those kinds of services. I want to zoom in

[18:49] also in the increase in the number of diagnostic imaging procedures. So in

[18:53] fiscal year 2025 there were about 11,000 diagnostic imaging procedures. Last year

[19:00] it was 17,500. So you can see that it's uh one of the

[19:05] most important procedures that clinicians use to make decisions for

[19:09] care especially for patients.

[19:14] You might be wondering where does north where the south lingary figure in all of

[19:18] these for south lingary um I want to share the data from our emergency

[19:23] department. Unfortunately, the numbers from diagnostic imaging laboratories and

[19:29] outpatient specialists are not readily available but um we do have um data to

[19:34] represent um the demand from South Glengary which is the emergency

[19:38] department visits. So last fiscal year we received 3,66 patients um from South

[19:44] Glengary representing um 16% of our um emergency department total. And one

[19:52] thing that I'd like to highlight is that it increased from 2,849

[19:57] the previous year. So it just shows that there there are more residents from

[20:01] Southlandry who rely on HMH for care. And this this brings me to why I'm here.

[20:10] Um so our role at HMH Foundation is different from the hospital. Um, our

[20:16] mission is to raise funds and foster community partnerships that empower

[20:20] Opalagen Gary Memorial Hospital to deliver outstanding care, drive

[20:24] innovation, and ensure access to sustainable health care for future

[20:28] generations. Those are a lot of words. I'd like to I'd like for you to focus on

[20:32] just one, partnerships. We recognize that we can't do this work alone. With

[20:38] the leadership of our board of directors and also with the executive director, we

[20:42] work with community members to really showcase why strengthening rural

[20:47] healthcare is important and why we work together to help make sure that we

[20:52] deliver outstanding healthcare even for future generations.

[20:56] Oops. One story that I'd like to mention and and the actually the reason why I'm

[21:01] standing in front of you today is I got inspired by the actual very reason why

[21:05] HMH Foundation exists. So in 2002 there was a threat of hospital closure and

[21:11] community members rallied together um to make sure that it doesn't happen. So

[21:16] they raised funds their first major campaign raised over $1.7 million to

[21:21] modernize that emergency department. And if you look take a look at the number of

[21:26] people who've used the emergency department last fiscal year, I think

[21:30] that's a direct impact of what community gener generosity means, especially for a

[21:35] small um community such as ours. Um if you can take a look at the

[21:41] pictures at the right, these actually represent the community members who

[21:45] stepped forward. These are individuals. These are businesses. These are clubs um

[21:50] that support our cause and really um appreciate and support strengthening

[21:56] rural healthcare. Today, I'm standing in front of you today because we are

[22:00] rallying community support once again. We are hoping to raise $3.5 million by

[22:06] the end of March 2027 for a new CT scanner. Right now, it's it's become a

[22:12] standard of care. If you've seen the number of increase of the diagnostic

[22:16] imaging procedures, that really shows that there's a lot of patients in need

[22:20] of answers sooner rather than later.

[22:25] This number is from the um approval for a CT scan that um the hospital submitted

[22:31] to the Ontario Ministry of Health. If you look at um where we are. So imagine

[22:36] being a patient and needing and and experiencing the worst headache of your

[22:41] life. And if you're at HMH, you will be told, "We're so sorry. We don't have a

[22:46] CT scanner here. We would need to coordinate with any one of these

[22:50] hospitals on the left to make to ask if they they have any availability for a

[22:55] scan and from there wait if they can actually accommodate. So imagine the

[22:59] time experiencing the headache, the worst headache of your life and having

[23:03] been told to to drive 40 plus kilome kilometers back and forth to get a

[23:09] 15minut scan done. So that number of 60,000 patients those

[23:15] represent the number of people that need answers sooner rather than later. Based

[23:20] on our catchment population, they estimated that the region SDNG should

[23:24] have had access to 20,453 CT hours annually. There's currently a

[23:30] gap of more than 8,000 CT hours each year. And I think with a growing

[23:36] population, it could grow larger. And so that's why it's really important for us

[23:40] to have an on-site CT scanner in our hospital.

[23:46] The numbers show you that need rural patients cannot wait any longer. As Mike

[23:52] has said, we are asking for the township of South Gary to consider supporting our

[23:58] fundraising campaign. And more importantly,

[24:01] beyond financial support, if you are if you know people, businesses,

[24:06] organizations who can also help us get there, who may be very supportive of our

[24:11] cause, we'd really appreciate introductions to them so that we can

[24:15] also share why it's important for us to have an on-site CT scanner in our

[24:19] hospital.

[24:23] I'm really proud to say that because of community generosity and many people

[24:27] who've stepped up, we've reached a fundraising milestone. We've reached

[24:31] more than $2 million in our campaign to date. And this is because of people,

[24:36] businesses, community members, leaders who are very supportive of our cause.

[24:42] So, help us bring life-saving care that's closer to home. We ask you to

[24:47] invest in the health of our community with a $10,000 contribution to fund

[24:51] vital hospital equipment and strengthen rural patient care.

[24:56] We started earlier with a with a call be a healer. We believe that healing does

[25:02] not just happen within our hospital walls. It happens within our community.

[25:07] Yes, they are physicians. Yes, they are healthcare workers. But we believe that

[25:11] every one of us when we step forward for rural health care, every one of us are

[25:16] healers. Thank you so much for your time this evening. I really appreciate you

[25:20] all for listening. >> Thank you very much for your

[25:24] presentation. Are there any comments from around the table? Councelor Bougie.

[25:28] » Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh thank you, Mike and Kim, for your presentation. Um

[25:33] there's no doubt that uh the CT scanner is is an important piece of equipment

[25:38] that uh is needed. Is Glengary the only one in the area

[25:45] without this? So you're saying Hawkbury Corn Winchester all have CT scanners. So

[25:48] yes, Alexander is the only one or Glengary Hospitals the only one without

[25:52] it. >> Yes. because of our size like um we

[25:54] don't have that service available and so we had to apply and prove to the

[26:00] ministry that there's actually a need for us to have this on site.

[26:04] » Okay. Well, I mean thanks for that and based on in your statistics 72,000 a

[26:09] year. So that's right roughly 200 patients served 51 per day in the

[26:14] emergency. I mean, I feel like CT scanner is something you definitely

[26:20] should have and uh it's good to see the generosity of the community and I would

[26:24] be very comfortable uh uh saying that uh well on my or on South

[26:33] Gary I would be comfortable with the 10,000 amount for the budget in 2027.

[26:37] » Thank you. >> Councelor McEnel.

[26:42] » Yeah, through you Mr. Mayor. Um, thank you for the presentation, both of you,

[26:46] Mike, Kim. Uh, I, uh, got to benefit from your services this spring on a

[26:50] weekend. And, uh, I have to admit, uh, the

[26:55] having Glengary Memorial Hospital there, uh, saved me an agonizing ride to

[26:58] Hawkbury in the truck. So, I did appreciate having that service there.

[27:02] And then how quickly I did get my my imagery done. Uh, as far as an X-ray the

[27:07] following morning, uh, I think I was in and out within an hour and 10 minutes

[27:11] and there was enough people there. So, I was I was quite impressed with the how

[27:14] quick they were able to do that and see me and uh the level of uh of care was

[27:20] bar none the best and I'd gone to three hospitals for that injury and it was

[27:24] definitely the the most pleasant part of my experience was the initial uh the

[27:27] initial visits. So, I just wanted to give uh the team there that that kudos

[27:31] and and just to say that I would be supportive of council or staff bringing

[27:35] this to uh to 2027 budget. So, >> thank you so much for the feedback and

[27:39] for the support. We'll go councelor Jorski then deputy

[27:43] mayor Lang. >> Thank you through you, Mayor McDonald.

[27:46] Again, thank you uh echoing uh the rest of my council colleagues. thank you for

[27:50] coming to present this and um it's just so important for this kind of

[27:54] information to get disseminated within the community so that folks understand

[27:58] you know just the volume that goes through our local hospitals like the the

[28:01] pieces of information the facts that you shared I think are just so important to

[28:04] have those uh disseminated out so that people can understand just the value of

[28:09] um infrastructure like this >> and I mean definitely there's a need but

[28:13] beyond that ensuring that our local hospital has that kind of equipment

[28:19] really helps just insulate it from like when you were talking about like two

[28:22] decades ago or two and a half decades ago when it was being eyed for closure

[28:26] when you have you know the modern equipment that uh patients and

[28:31] physicians expect to be able to you know patients expect and physicians expect to

[28:35] be able to provide good surface it helps insulate your facility from that kind of

[28:41] um negative scrutiny I would say so yeah I'm looking forward to discussing this

[28:46] further at budget and hopefully there'll be support from around the table at that

[28:50] time to uh contribute to the campaign. >> Thank you.

[28:55] » Thank you, Mr. Mayor, and through you and thanks for your presentation and

[28:58] congratulations on raising 2 million. I'm trying to remember when uh I was

[29:02] there the night you guys kicked off your campaign, and I can't remember how long

[29:05] ago it was, but it doesn't seem very long ago.

[29:07] » Congratulations on that and uh looking forward to uh supporting you.

[29:11] » Thank you. Well, I guess we'll see this on our 2027

[29:16] uh grants and donations budget. And thank you very much both of you for your

[29:20] presentation. And uh we'll let uh the next council determine that. But I mean

[29:24] there's opportunity that that it will uh I mean can't see anybody saying no, but

[29:29] I don't know who will be here next. And thank you very much for your time and

[29:32] also that what you give to the community. I joke sometimes with Casey

[29:36] who's my wife. Uh my birth certificate says Cornwall and I always say I'm from

[29:39] Glengary. So I wish I wish there was the ability like 40 years ago to be born in

[29:45] Glengary because it's the the the one regret of my life is having Cornwall on

[29:48] my birth [laughter] certificate not Glengary. So uh aside from that you're

[29:53] doing a wonderful job. [laughter] >> Thank you so much mayor and counselors

[29:56] for the time tonight. Appreciate it. >> Thank you.

[30:03] » Right. We'll move to action requests. Moved by councelor Mcdanel. Second by

[30:08] deputy mayor Lang. Be it resolved that staff report 202680 be received and that

[30:11] the council of the township of South Glengary approve the request from the

[30:14] Glengary Festival Trust for support of its application to the government of

[30:18] Canada's legacy fund program. that council commit $4,000 annually through

[30:22] the township grant and donations program for 2027 and 2028 for the total

[30:26] commitment of $8,000 to support the Glengary Fensible Trusts Restoration

[30:31] Project and that council approve an inkind donation for four landfill

[30:34] tipping fees valued at $250 each for a total value of $1,000 in 2026.

[30:41] Any discussion? Councelor Mcdanel. >> Yeah, three you Mr. Mayor. Uh, I had the

[30:46] opportunity to speak with one of the board members over the weekend and then

[30:49] I actually uh I put it in my calendar. I don't know when I saw it, but uh got to

[30:54] watch Patty Kelly and uh one of the Morris family members sing on Sunday

[30:58] kill an hour and a half up there. Um it's I think it's a worthy cause. I did

[31:03] get a little more background I think on the on the request for the full funding

[31:07] of the 4,000. I I think we we've maybe reduced them over the last couple of

[31:11] years in our re-evaluation. Uh, I'd speak in support of it just

[31:15] because it's going to a specific project. Uh, and I think it's when

[31:21] evaluated in their application to the government, it shows that the govern the

[31:25] federal government is not just the one kicking in the money that there is a

[31:28] local commitment and and they also have a a written in commitment of what

[31:32] they're chipping in as well to this project. So, it's not a I don't believe

[31:35] it's a a wholly funded project by the federal government. Uh but um I think it

[31:41] it's seen as potentially an opportunity for them to uh with that local

[31:45] commitment to to get them a little higher up the application list. Um so

[31:49] I'll speak in support of it. I I do think it should be for the two years and

[31:52] then we reeval or the future council can reevaluate, but I do I'll I'll give

[31:57] another plug for my uh moving moving forward with our grants and donations.

[32:01] Maybe it'd be nicer to be able to give them 16,000 and and cut down some of our

[32:06] other uh kind of annual donations that are just reoccurring and and focus on

[32:10] some of these major projects where uh we've got community uh groups like this

[32:14] that are kind of running their own organization. I know I I think it was

[32:19] there was some substantial costs they have. Insurance was a major one.

[32:22] Something that I think future council could talk with the continue to advocate

[32:26] the provincial government on getting changed. But that being aside, this uh

[32:31] I've been in support of this. The only question I did have was the inind

[32:35] tipping fees. Um I'm assuming this is for renovation materials. Is that we're

[32:42] we're willing to to take those into our landfill site uh against our policy? No

[32:46] problem. I have no problem with that. I just wanted to be clear. I didn't think

[32:49] they'd be generating that much garbage. >> Councelor Bougie.

[32:56] Uh through you, Mr. Mayor. Yeah. I'd like to echo council McNell's sentiment.

[33:00] The work they have done over the years is is truly remarkable. This Glengary

[33:04] Festival's group um it would have been torn down years ago if it wasn't for

[33:09] this group to step forward to uh promote and fund raise thousands of

[33:15] dollars uh to get to where they are now. So, it's incredible the work they've

[33:19] done already. Uh there is major costs coming for them. Um, so I'm in full

[33:24] support uh with the letter and hopefully they can get more funding. Uh, at a time

[33:28] there was cost matching. Uh, I remember a time we donated 25,000 because they

[33:32] knew the federal government was going to match it. So um, definitely in support

[33:37] of of uh, this group and uh, hopefully they get some some major funding uh,

[33:42] from the federal government at some point.

[33:46] » Thank you, Councelor Jorski. >> Thank you, Mayor McDonald. Um just the

[33:50] one item I wanted to sort of add to what's already been said is there's been

[33:54] a lot of discussion right on um historical uh heritage um infrastructure

[34:01] buildings you know what have you in our area and the value that uh the community

[34:06] puts on those and so this is you know very much central to I think um those

[34:12] efforts this you know this uh facility for lack of a better word and definitely

[34:17] recognizing the the huge amount of work that this group of uh volunteers and

[34:23] over a very prolonged period of time. So I think uh I think it's very much in

[34:29] keeping with you know the an the discussions that we've had with

[34:34] respect to heritage uh through the last few months. So definitely I would be uh

[34:38] in support of uh of this of this initiative.

[34:45] » Deputy Marang and thank you. >> Thanks Mr. Mayor. I think most of it's

[34:48] been said, but uh yeah, I think that's what we wanted our grants and donations

[34:52] to go to were special projects, something that would added a benefit to

[34:55] the community, not just somebody's, you know, regular money. So, this fits the

[34:59] bill. Thank you. So, I'll call the vote. All

[35:03] those in favor? Carried.

[35:08] We'll go to zoning bylaws. Uh and zoning bylaw amendment moved by councelor

[35:13] Jorski, seconded by councelor Bougie. We resolve staff report 202681 be received

[35:18] and that bylaw 202649 being a bylaw to amend bylaw 3809 to amend the limited

[35:24] service residential exception 4 zoning to permit an an additional dwelling unit

[35:29] on the subject property which is which will result in a total of three dwelling

[35:33] units for the property legally described as part of lot 24 concession one front

[35:37] in the geographic township of Schlottburg now in the township of south

[35:41] langary county of Glengary located at 18645 Prevo point Road pin 671300566

[35:49] be read a first, second, and third time pass signed and sealed and open council

[35:52] this 24th day of August 2026. The council of the township of Stuckling

[35:56] Gary confirms that no comments from the public were received on this

[36:00] application. Therefore, there was no effect on the decision. Mrs. Haley,

[36:06] » thank you, Mr. Mayor. As you mentioned, uh, this property is located at 18645

[36:11] Prevo Point Road. is currently developed containing a single detached dwelling

[36:15] and that dwelling has an apartment unit in it and has had that zoning for quite

[36:18] some time. The property is almost 3 acres in size and the uh property owner

[36:24] had approached the municipality a few months back as well as the

[36:28] conservation authority to determine if there was developability potential for

[36:33] the vacant portion of the property. And the property um appeared to be a little

[36:38] tricky at first, but with some analysis completed by the Raisin Region

[36:41] Conservation Authority, it was determined that there was the ability to

[36:45] have a building envelope that would be above the flood plane that would be able

[36:49] to uh be large enough to accommodate an additional dwelling unit.

[36:54] This parcel of property um has an existing zoning of limited services

[37:00] residential with an exception to accommodate the apartment unit. limited

[37:04] services residential zone does not allow additional dwelling units. We typically

[37:08] don't want additional development on private roads where we don't maintain

[37:11] those roads. We don't uh we're not able to provide all the services, but some of

[37:16] our private roads are a little more unique than others. Uh they have better

[37:20] access. They're wider. They're not as dense. And so we do uh rely on the

[37:25] opinion of our fire chief to assist us in cases like this to ensure that there

[37:29] can be uh emergency services provided both fire and ambulance. The last thing

[37:34] we want to do is add additional dwellings. We're in an area where we

[37:37] can't provide those services. But that's not the case in this particular

[37:40] situation. So with the positive review of the fire chief as well as the

[37:44] conservation authority, the property owner, Mr. Knight, filed a zoning

[37:47] amendment application to go through the process. You may recall that we did a

[37:51] public meeting on uh July 27th. There was no members of public in attendance.

[37:55] We did not receive any comments uh written comments or oral comments either

[38:00] in support of or in opposition to this amendment. You'll see in the staff

[38:04] report that we provided a detailed um review of the planning policy framework

[38:10] that we're required to look at. We are recommending that this application be

[38:15] approved as it's consistent with the PPS and it conforms to the official plan and

[38:20] um if council chooses to make a decision this evening and approve it, a decision

[38:24] will be made on day 63. So if there's any questions, please let me know.

[38:29] » Thank you very much. Are there any questions further to the staff report

[38:33] and the presentation before? Seeing none, all those in favor? Carried.

[38:49] All right, there's nothing pulled from the consent agenda. So moved by

[38:51] councelor Jorski, seconded by councelor Mcdanell be resolved that council

[38:54] accepts the items listed on the consent agenda. All those in favor carried.

[39:07] Right. Commi. Before we get to notices of motion, we do have our committee uh

[39:12] board and committee updates. If you don't mind, I should have said that I'm

[39:16] going to as August there's only one meeting. I I didn't uh share what was

[39:20] going on kind of in the community. So, if you if you see something I missed or

[39:23] that you attended on my behalf, let me know. Um, so last time we did the

[39:27] mayor's update was July 13th. The Glen Neas social, we had talked about, we had

[39:31] got so that happened. U Manor House social, the Lancaster District nonprofit

[39:36] housing had a few meetings. Um, I don't think it's a a secret, but uh they're

[39:42] trying to try trying to make themselves more independent. Uh, I I believe we put

[39:47] in a pretty competitive team in the St. Raffles Ruins golf tournament. Um,

[39:51] Highland Games, Williamstown Fair happened that I failed to mention at the

[39:54] last meetings. Thank you councelor Bougie for reminding me of our big

[39:56] events. The Martintown Mill had a very successful AGM and after that we're

[40:00] quite successful with fundraising efforts. We got to conference where we

[40:05] had two delegations. I thought they went well uh well received and then we came

[40:09] back to the uh Glengary Sports Hall of Fame and then I guess for those of you

[40:14] who didn't attend on Thursday because it wasn't live, we bought an airport. So

[40:17] that was a pretty big deal for our township.

[40:20] Um and then other than that I think we had a county meeting today. So, moving

[40:24] to SDG County Council updates. Um, Deputy Mayor, if I miss something,

[40:29] please let me know. Or or do you prepare to? So, I going from my notes, so

[40:32] they're touch messy. Uh, but we had a special meeting of council beforehand.

[40:37] Uh, changing in planning. I'm not always the best on planning. So, if there there

[40:40] are changes coming, uh, you can consult with Mrs. Haley. Uh, but there's tier

[40:45] one and tier two employment zones. Um and that um is density and on the

[40:51] fringes of where your um like suburbs would be. So you can have less dense

[40:56] employment zones I believe onfarmm diversified. I believe that's more for

[40:59] the biodesttors coming through so you can produce energy which is wonderful.

[41:03] Natural heritage um I didn't know perfectly if that was stronger or

[41:07] weaker. Deputy Mayor Lang asked that question and it seems that it's pretty

[41:10] much status quo and the whole intent of all these things is to make it more per

[41:14] permissive, make it more simpler to follow provincial guidelines to to make

[41:18] it simple or easier to develop lands that should be developed. Uh we also had

[41:23] a um official plan amendment um on your way. Well, does everybody know where

[41:30] Malcolm Malcolm Fraser lives or the who else would be a person around there?

[41:36] Mary Rean in between Williamtown Cornwall on

[41:40] County Road 19. Uh there's a property that's being severed and it required uh

[41:44] quite a bit of effort to get it that way um because of the way it's designed.

[41:48] There will be a request of administration probably I imagine in the

[41:52] future to look into see if there's a way how to make it quicker. Um and that lot

[41:56] lot will be severed. A committee terms have been made. PAB um

[42:02] doesn't really matter because it's not things we consider ourselves with a cash

[42:06] budget uh cash budget sorry Icing um costs it was budgeted for 200,000

[42:13] they're going 226 but it's kind of like you know end of 2026 27 so that's on

[42:17] track uh plow costs went up 6% so anticipate um costs of our like

[42:22] inflation on our reserves probably at the county and our own um equipment

[42:26] reserves to be 6% higher than last year just to accommodate for this these

[42:30] costs. Personnel policy came through. The big thing on it was uh the counties

[42:36] did not recognize remembrance day but they did truth and reconciliation day.

[42:40] Uh not as stat holidays now they will be no taken as um days of

[42:46] uh I don't know there's a prop days of reflection. Thank you deputy mayor Lang.

[42:51] And so if they fall during the weekday uh they will be u reflected and if it's

[42:55] on the weekend there's no in lie of. So the counties took that action. And then

[43:00] South Nation four-wheeling club got access to the roads. Transfer of County

[43:04] Road 36. So in Long Sue, I think it's where LVB is. That road is now becoming

[43:09] a lower tier road and there'll be a county road at the north end whenever

[43:12] they bring in their industrial park. Sale of surplus lot, very small flood

[43:16] plane mapping. Uh SNC is doing a pretty massive job and the township or county

[43:21] will put in about 250,000. It's been saved over time. AC index is off the

[43:27] charts. So, um, enjoy that with our paving. I think it's 53% higher than

[43:32] when we started, even with that little dip, uh, recently in gas prices. And

[43:36] then there were several reports after that. And, uh, we'll discuss the warden

[43:39] in term of office potentially, uh, changing it from one to two to even four

[43:43] or any other options. These are we we've said basically, hey, uh, maybe we can

[43:48] get better representation, but there will be debate for the next term of

[43:50] council. If the next term of council decides to do it, it will be for the

[43:54] 2030 term of council. So, uh, one thing that stuck in my mind was we had an

[43:59] Eastern Ontario Warden's caucus chair once and it was whenever, uh, then

[44:03] Warden Duncan ran twice in a row. So, it shows the kind of that was a a powerful

[44:08] statement to me to show that like we can, you know, Eastern Eastern Ontario

[44:11] can have more representation if we had longer term, but that is to be decided

[44:14] by not me. Um, any further things to that? The only thing I'd add is that

[44:21] under that uh plow that's up 6%, one of the we bought two plows, one of them's

[44:25] for South Glengary and uh 482,000 and change. So that'll be for uh

[44:34] next year's budget. I

[44:37] » think we had pre pre-approved that one at something. Also, there was a staff

[44:40] appreciation. I don't want to forget that. That was uh if you want to watch

[44:43] the end of there's some long-erving members and retirements. Councelor

[44:46] Mcdel. >> Uh three, Mr. Mayor. Is that with the

[44:49] with equipment? >> Okay. So, it's it's not just that's

[44:52] that's not a bare chassis. It's it's >> 225,000 for the cabin chassis and 256

[44:58] 257 almost for uh the plow and equip or the

[45:02] » for the harness and the plow and the and the box.

[45:04] » I would assume box and everything. >> Wow. Okay.

[45:09] » I remember whenever I was a young treasurer and that cost a lot less. I

[45:13] think it was 250 allin. That's not that long ago. Were there any other committee

[45:17] or board meetings that people wish to um speak of, Cornwall Regional Airport, uh

[45:22] Ra Conservation Authority? >> The archives are next week or next

[45:26] month. >> Next week, the museum,

[45:29] agricultural committee, CIP, I guess. Yeah, that might might uh

[45:36] connectivity committee, environment committee, and heritage advisory

[45:39] committee probably all have not met. Okay.

[45:43] So then we will go to notice of motions. I have a mover in councelor McNel. This

[45:46] is for farm and field entrance widths. Can I get a seconder? Go to deputy mayor

[45:50] Lang. Just take a moment while I write that down.

[45:57] Moved by councelor Mcdanel, seconded by deputy mayor Lang be resolved that

[46:00] council the townships of South Lair. Direct administration to review the

[46:05] township's current practices and standards respecting entrance width for

[46:09] agricultural properties, including farms and field entrances, and to investigate

[46:13] potential options, operational considerations, and any associated

[46:16] financial or regulatory implications of permitting wider entrances where

[46:20] appropriate, and that administration reports its findings and any

[46:23] recommendations back to council no later than the first of first regular council

[46:28] meeting in October 2026. Council Mcdell, is there anything you'd

[46:31] like to add? Yeah. Three, Mr. Mayor. Uh, I had I had requested this just uh I

[46:35] guess of staff and uh to take a look into it and uh the mayor thought and

[46:40] rightfully so thought this should come to council just for for coun all of

[46:43] council's approval. No time no point in wasting staff's time if there

[46:47] is an appetite around the table to investigate it. Uh over the weekend I

[46:50] took a little bit of time and uh ran around and found uh a very relatively

[46:56] new entrance. It was put in probably a month and a half ago on one of my farm

[47:00] fields. Uh I've had this concern from another of uh a number of farm uh

[47:05] operators in the area and I know there's been a lot of work done through the offa

[47:09] for different standards and and recommendations for municipalities and

[47:12] how how to go about it and have that conversation. Um I just am in the unique

[47:17] position where I sit at this table with the rest of you and I can I can bother

[47:20] you with my own issues. Um the uh the entrance that I I kind of sent around

[47:26] was you know the standard 20 feet at the top or 18 feet at the top and uh it's

[47:30] getting harder and harder with the size of the equipment that we're running to

[47:33] get into these fields. That 20 18t clearance across the top of a culvert

[47:37] was great when actually great in this sense where you can see the trail marks

[47:41] through my field where my uncle still goes and cuts a little bit of hay at the

[47:44] back with his 165 and hay bine. So, he's got lots of clearance, but for my uh

[47:49] sprayer at 13 ft wide and 18 ft long or the combine uh with their collective

[47:55] sizes, I can't I won't be able to get wagons into the field this fall. And

[47:59] that poses a bit of a safety issue when I'm coming out onto the road and having

[48:02] to load on the road uh all through the fall. Luckily, it's a fairly quiet road,

[48:06] but there's uh there's places on say on the first line or the second line road

[48:10] just uh at that kitty corner that we wouldn't be we wouldn't feel comfortable

[48:15] doing that. and and it it would pose some serious issues if we didn't have

[48:19] the seventh concession to load on where we've got a little extra time. Um I it's

[48:23] a public safety issue and and I don't think uh producers would be even opposed

[48:28] in places where if they're looking to widen them, maybe they've got to kick a

[48:32] little bit in if they want to go to the extra 40T, but uh a 30 foot wide would

[48:36] be probably ample in a lot of cases. Maybe not on some of these tighter

[48:41] roads, but I I know I included a picture of one in a neighboring municipality at

[48:45] the bottom where uh it's a gentleman I do some work for, and it's it's very

[48:49] it's a bit of a treat to be able to pull in, not have to cross right to the other

[48:54] side of the ditch and swing across the road posing a bit of an accident if

[48:57] you've got a car behind you or uh uh somebody on coming up a hill or

[49:01] something like that. Uh it gives lots of space that I can pull in from my lane

[49:05] into the field and and not uh put anybody else at risk or myself. So uh

[49:10] just a request if staff if council sees fit that staff come back with a

[49:14] recommendation to maybe on egg properties

[49:17] increase that that minimum standard and uh and if people want to go even above

[49:21] and beyond that or if if staff feels 30 is enough and somebody wants to go

[49:24] beyond that they reserve the right to maybe extend it at their cost or

[49:28] something along those lines. So just uh looking for appetite around the table.

[49:34] » All right. Deputy Mayor Lang. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Through you. Yes,

[49:37] I'd be happy to support that. Uh I mentioned it uh this morning. We had

[49:42] county council meeting, mentioned it to the manager infrastructure at the

[49:44] counties and uh their bylaw is very similar. Uh and I think it's time maybe

[49:51] look at both of them and and get them updated. And uh happy to see what staff

[49:55] comes up with. and uh maybe we can find a little bit of uh best management

[49:59] practice and send it to the staff for that we're eating.

[50:04] » Councelor Jorski, >> thank you through your Mayor McDonald.

[50:07] Uh certainly we have to recognize that agriculture is our largest industry in

[50:12] South Glengary and so definitely it makes sense to uh ensure that our

[50:18] infrastructure is not a impediment to uh to that industry. So I think it makes a

[50:24] lot of sense to take a look at this. One thing um I'm not suggesting any change

[50:28] to the language but certainly uh and I think um this refers a bit to some of

[50:33] the further context around it is that it kind of fits also into like the road

[50:39] rationalization um work that had been started in terms

[50:43] of you know being clear on what infrastructure is needed and ensuring

[50:46] that we don't have unnecessary duplication. So certainly I mean

[50:50] obviously larger entrances come with a higher cost. So I think it's important

[50:54] to be very clear on on what that is and also um have a view of you know where

[51:01] can we eliminate them where they're no longer required as well. So just to add

[51:06] that additional bit of context to it. I'm not suggesting any changes to the

[51:09] language but uh because I don't think I'm against what's been like I don't

[51:13] think it's a diverting from it. Um but yeah, thanks

[51:18] » just councelor Mcanel. >> Yeah, through you Mr. Mayor. I think I

[51:22] did include that in my uh in my one sheet uh that I can send to staff as

[51:25] well. There's there's often a number a number of these entrances were put in

[51:29] when there were a number of fence rows going through the fields and what's now

[51:32] maybe one or two fields because of a drainage ditch used to be six or seven

[51:37] with fence rows. and it kind of lines up where some of these entrances probably

[51:41] aren't where we need them and they they'd be better off in a different spot

[51:44] based on a hill and the road or whatever the case may be and and some of them

[51:48] probably there's two or three that could be eliminated on a single farm or you

[51:51] know a guy could do with one less and get a wider one and and would just use

[51:55] that. So, uh, I'd agree as well. There's a little bit of consultation that have

[51:59] to be done at that time, but if with a little bit of lead time, guys can give

[52:03] their comments. I'm I'm sure we'd be happy to, uh, give input on where they'd

[52:06] like their entrances. >> All right. Thank you. And I I'm

[52:11] interested in seeing like because there's al there could be a financial

[52:14] component to this. So, I look forward to having like that wholesome information

[52:17] because I think it it makes a ton of sense. And if it's a ton of sense on a

[52:20] million dollars a year extra, maybe not. But if it's if it's reasonable then

[52:23] obviously we we'll certainly take it. So um all those in favor of the motion is

[52:27] read carried.

[52:35] All right. The second one was about uh Alto Rail project. Again moved by

[52:39] councelor Mdanell. Looking for a seconder. We go. Councelor Bougie.

[52:49] Moved by councelor Mcdanel. Second by councelor Bougie. Be it resolved that

[52:51] the council of the township of Suckling Gary supports the resolution passed by

[52:55] the municipality of South Dundas on July 8th, 2026 attached here 2 and that the

[53:00] township of the south and the the township of Southland area supports the

[53:04] Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus in opposing the Alto project and its

[53:07] current form and urges Alto and the federal government to coordinate with

[53:11] Via Rail to maintain and enhance passenger rail service, provide a clear

[53:15] integration plan, and work with the municipalities to ensure rural residents

[53:19] remain connected and and that this resolution be sent to the prime

[53:22] minister, the minister of transportation, alto CEO, the EW or

[53:27] EOWC, MP Eric Duncan, the Premier of Ontario, MVP Nolan Quinn, AMO, Offa, and

[53:34] the municipalities of the United Counties of SG, Councelor McInnel.

[53:39] » Yeah, through you, Mr. Mayor. I think we've all probably had this conversation

[53:42] privately and publicly with people we know and uh I think we all had the

[53:46] opportunity maybe to speak with some of the Prescott Russell uh uh elected

[53:50] officials and staff uh last week at the conference and um Warden Santh was uh

[53:56] was very clear on kind of his thoughts and I think he's even got an article

[53:59] written or was picked up maybe by the Globe and Mail. Anyways um it's it's

[54:04] very concerning project. There's uh I personally had a meeting with Alto in

[54:08] Ottawa after the conference was over and uh unfortunately it's still uh very

[54:16] vague, very generic, no real answers from a municipal standpoint. Um even

[54:21] point of questions like who's responsible for this infrastructure over

[54:25] our roadways as a municipality whenever it it's it's aged to its life expectancy

[54:30] and needs replacement. They are unable to tell us who is going to be

[54:34] financially responsible for replacing those crossings whether it's Alto or

[54:38] whether Alto was going to take care of the work at the municipality's cost as

[54:42] we know with the CN it's often the case and and uniquely CN has the argument at

[54:48] times that they were there before the road but in this case there is

[54:51] absolutely no argument for them being there before the roadway um in spots

[54:56] it's going to stagnate any potential growth in some of the municipalities and

[54:59] urban boundaries and we've seen this come across uh the north with a with a

[55:06] with a strong hand and there's a lot of active groups that are fighting against

[55:09] it and actively looking for answers and I think uh lending our support to it.

[55:14] This came across our desk I think back in March and I think it was overlooked

[55:18] by by ourselves at the table and uh better late than never I guess is is

[55:22] kind of what I'm going for here. >> Thank you. I think I've said a few times

[55:29] that this is a a city solution that costs the rural municipalities. So, as

[55:33] much as I agree with kind of like roads, bridges, and buildings, this one is uh

[55:37] not one that I think help helps us at all. And it actually just connects three

[55:40] or five cities and I guess could say our mega cities u but it forgets the rule.

[55:46] And I like that this one particularly focuses on via rail because maybe

[55:50] there's an appetite to now like if Alto is the worst enemy perhaps a dedicated

[55:56] passenger line on existing tracks might not be popular but it's better than this

[56:00] and it serves everybody. So that would be a hopeful outcome in in my thoughts.

[56:04] But uh without going on are there any other comments? I guess we all feel the

[56:08] same way. All those in favor carried.

[56:15] Lastly, this is support for MFOA request for permanently increasing OSF. Uh, it

[56:20] was moved by Deputy Mayor Lang. Can I get a seconder? Councelor Jorski.

[56:30] So, moved by Deputy Mayor Lang, seconded by Councelor Jorski. Whereas, municipal

[56:34] asset management plans have identified significant infrastructure renewal and

[56:37] state of good repair needs. And whereas the Ontario Community Infrastructure

[56:42] Fund, OSF, has become a critical source of funding to support municipal

[56:45] infrastructure renewal. And whereas the province of Ontario has not publicly

[56:50] committed to maintaining the current annual OSF funding level beyond 2026.

[56:54] Therefore, be it resolved that the township of Southland Gary supports the

[56:57] Municipal Finance Officers Association of Ontario, MFOA, requests the province

[57:02] of Ontario to permanently maintain OSF at 400 million annually beyond 2026 and

[57:07] directs that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Minister of

[57:10] Infrastructure, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Minister of

[57:14] Finance, MPP Nolan Quinn, MFOA, AMO, and the municipalities of the United

[57:19] Counties of SG. Any further conversation, Deputy Mayor?

[57:23] No, I don't think we need to talk too much. We talked about it last meeting a

[57:26] little bit, but it just it it's very tough on municipalities not to have

[57:30] something that's stable that they can count on and uh it would be nice if the

[57:34] province would, you know, step up and say this is permanent and we know that

[57:37] is permanent. So anyway, happy to support this on behalf of the municipal

[57:40] finance officers association. >> Thank you. No further comments. All

[57:45] those in favor carried.

[57:52] So, we will be moving into close session.

[57:55] Moved by councelor Jorski, seconded by councelor Mcdanell. Be it resolved that

[57:59] council convene to close session at 7:26 p.m. to discuss the following item under

[58:04] section 2392F of the municipal act. A meeting or part of a meeting may be

[58:08] closed to the public if the subject matter being considered is e litigation

[58:12] or potential litigation, specifically direction for litigation. All those in

[58:16] favor carried.

[1:30:56] Coming out of closed session, moved by councelor Bougie, seconded by councelor

[1:30:59] Jorski. Be it resolved that the council rise and reconvene into open session at

[1:31:02] 7:59 p.m. All those in favor? Carried

[1:31:09] and that was coming out without reporting.

[1:31:13] Close session. Moved by councelor Mcdanell, seconded by councelor Bougie,

[1:31:16] be resolved that administration be directed to carry out all actions as

[1:31:19] specified in the closed session minutes. All those in favor carried.

[1:31:26] Confirming bylaw moved by deputy mayor Lang, seconded by councelor Bougie, be

[1:31:30] resolved that bylaw 202650 being a bylaw to adopt, confirm, and ratify matters

[1:31:35] dealt with by resolution be read a first, second, and third time pass,

[1:31:38] signed, and sealed in open council this 24th day of August 2026. All those in

[1:31:42] favor? Gary adjournment. Uh, anything anybody wants

[1:31:47] to add? I'm not not missing the Williamstown Fair of the Highland Games

[1:31:50] again. Okay. Moved by councelor Mcdanell, second by councelor Joriski.

[1:31:53] Be it resolved that the council of the township of Southland area adjourned to

[1:31:56] the call of the chair at 8:00 p.m. All those in favor carried. Have a good

[1:32:02] night everyone.
