It summarizes a court case where a municipality was found liable for a car accident caused by icy road conditions. It recommends municipalities review their level of service policies and winter operations plans to strengthen defenses by exceeding minimum standards and improving documentation of weather monitoring and winter maintenance activities.
The document discusses developing asset management plans by focusing on service levels. It covers three modules: foundations of asset management, long range financial planning, and bringing it all together through asset management planning. The modules discuss topics like asset management principles, financial condition, service-based planning, asset condition, and capital budget prioritization. The goal is to develop asset management plans that ensure service levels are maintained through optimal investment in infrastructure assets.
The document is a presentation about Ontario's provincial policy-led land use planning system. It discusses:
1) How the Planning Act and other legislation establish the provincial policy-led system and identify matters of provincial interest that must be considered in planning decisions.
2) How the Provincial Policy Statement and provincial plans like the Greenbelt Plan provide policy direction and different standards of implementation for planning decisions.
3) Examples of court and tribunal cases that help define what types of decisions affect planning matters and must conform with or be consistent with provincial policies.
The document summarizes a presentation on municipal long-term asset management. It discusses why asset management is important for municipalities, provides an overview of the current state of asset management planning in Ontario and the region, and outlines resources and a funding program from the province to help municipalities develop asset management plans. Examples of asset management plans from different municipalities are also presented.
Best practices effective grant applicationsOntarioEast
This document provides tips for developing effective grant applications. It advises to plan strategically, research funding programs, develop relationships with government officials, engage partners and stakeholders, highlight the positive impacts of the proposed project, follow application instructions carefully, proofread, attach all required documents, budget accurately, and clearly demonstrate need. Common reasons for unsuccessful applications include failing to show need or relevance to the funding body's goals. Potential funding sources mentioned include provincial grants portals and programs.
Best practice developing communication policies OntarioEast
Shannon Hunter presented on improving communications for the Township of North Kawartha. The township implemented social media like Facebook and Twitter to better reach its large seasonal population. An analysis found the main risks were lack of professionalism and increased staff workload. The township created policies, provided training, and started slowly. After implementation, website visits increased substantially and social media followers grew. Lessons included thorough preparation, clear objectives, and listening to residents' communication preferences.
This document discusses the Rideau Corridor Landscape Character Assessment Project. The project aims to develop a coordinated strategy to balance development, conservation, and heritage protection along the Rideau Canal corridor. A steering committee and technical advisory group have been formed to guide the project. Work to date includes mapping the landscape, identifying challenges, and selecting consultants to conduct further assessments to inform planning policies. The goal is to provide clarity around the planning process and promote sustainable development along Ontario's UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This document outlines a landscape character assessment of the Rideau Canal corridor that was presented at a conference. It discusses challenges in defining the study area and gathering public input on valued landscape features. It also describes characterizing the diverse landscape into sectors and character areas and obtaining public preferences through a visual survey. The goal is to determine if the landscape of the corridor can be planned and managed effectively.

Initial Provincial Response
• The community will notify the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre
(PEOC) when an emergency is declared or when it activates its community
emergency response plan due to the radiological incident
• The PEOC will assess the situation and, depending on the nature of the
event, the Province may:
o Activate the PEOC and assume responsibility for the event if required
o Coordinate environmental radiation monitoring
o Activate the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care’s Radiation Health
Response Plan for the treatment of exposed and/or contaminated persons
o Assure emergency worker safety in accordance with guidelines issued
through the Ministry of Labour and under federal legislation
o Initiate other response measures as required, based on technical and
operational assessments
• Some of the available provincial resources follow on the next slides and are
accessed through the PEOC

Radiation Monitoring
• Aerial and field monitoring for radiation will be carried out:
o For the area where the event occurred
o For selected sites around the Province, in the case of a more widely
dispersed event
• Monitoring Teams can consist of a combination of federal,
provincial, and private (e.g. nuclear facility) resources
• Monitoring will continue over time to track the changing
radiological picture resulting from decay, weather, dispersion,
dilution, etc.
