Clerk Sara Almas confirmed notices for all the public planning meetings being heard this evening were
provided in accordance with the Planning Act. Notice was provided on September 25, 2015.
Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment (Town wide)
Trevor Houghton, Senior Planner provided a detailed review of the proposed amendment to
modifications to the Collingwood Zoning By-law, as amended. The Collingwood Zoning By-law was
approved by Council on April 12th, 2010. The Collingwood Zoning By-law is a land-use planning
document that applies to all land within the boundaries of the municipality and contains a wide range of
regulations such as;






The control of the location and use of buildings including height, bulk, location and size,
The protection of natural features and sensitive or vulnerable areas,
The requirement to provide loading or parking facilities,
The minimum and maximum density permitted on land,
To prohibit the use of land subject to the availability of municipal services, and
The use of maps to indicate what zone classification is applicable on land.
THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the proposed Amendment is to delete, revise or insert regulations and
provisions of the Collingwood Zoning By-law. The Collingwood Zoning By-law was last updated in July
2013. As this proposed Amendment may result in modifications throughout the Collingwood Zoning Bylaw no key map has been included with this Notice.
Deputy Mayor Saunderson called three times for comments from the public.
Don Ellis, 48 Highlands expressed concern with the C1-7 Zone, suggesting it needs clarification on what
“Illustration 7b” is and why it needs to be changed. Trevor Houghton, Senior Planner noted that the C17 zone is relative to the Admiral Collingwood Development and that the approved building height and
setbacks of that zone where not being changed, just that “Illustration 7b” was being relabeled to
“Illustration 10”. Mr. Ellis questioned if the Zoning By-law was being changed regarding any property
density. Nancy Farrer, Director of Planning Services confirmed density is not being discussed in this
review.
Deputy Mayor Saunderson called for the last time for comments from the public. No further comments
were presented. The public meeting closed at 5:46p.m.
Trevor Houghton, Senior Planner addressed questions from Council with respect to height provisions,
and regulations regarding “snout houses”, and marina parking.

Mayor Sandra Cooper
Town of Collingwood
97 Hurontario St.,
P.O. Box 157,
Collingwood, Ontario
L9Y 3Z5
Dear Mayor Cooper
Thanks so much for the quick conversation a few weeks ago at Queen’s Park. As you know I was
interested in a media story pertaining to the Garbutt family and the raising of back yard chickens. As an
8th generation farmer in the area(west of Nottawa, Clearview township) and more importantly, Vice
President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, an organization who represents 37,000 farm families
across the province, I expressed to you some concerns with this story, more specifically about citizens
wishing to raise poultry in their back yards. While I applaud those who wish to take on this type of
initiative as it(farm animal husbandry) adds a sense of value for people who may not otherwise have
such opportunity, I would like to caution you and your council on the unintended consequences that
may arise from such a venture.
Agriculture in this province is leading edge and has some of the best producers/farms in the world. We
have attained this claim through continuous improvements in food production standards, including
biosecurity measures that are second to none. The supply management sector(which includes poultry)
has been particularly diligent in this area and are world leaders in setting the standard(s) to be followed.
As I mentioned to you in our conversation, my particular concern with the backyard chicken issue is
amongst others, the concern around the very highly contagious Avian Influenza(HPAI H5). HPAI H5
viruses infect the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts of birds, can spread rapidly, and cause high
mortality in infected poultry. Ontario has just recently come through a devastating Avian Influenza
outbreak this past spring/summer in which a quarter of a million birds had to be destroyed and a
number of farms still remaining under quarantine, ultimately leaving these birds unmarketable due to
not being able to reach market in a timely fashion. All of which have had devastating financial effects on
the producers and their families caught in this outbreak.
Avian Influenza is most commonly transferred by wild birds, particularly waterfowl. While the viruses
often do not cause illness in waterfowl the effects on domestic poultry(chickens, turkey and pheasants)
can be devastating. Although wild birds always pose a risk of disease to domestic poultry, past
surveillance has identified the highest prevalence of influenza virus to be in younger migratory
waterfowl in the fall (August – November) as they congregate in feeding and staging areas prior to and
during migration. Massive movement of wild birds during migration increases the risk of potential Avian
Influenza virus in poultry farms. The virus can be spread to domestic poultry through direct contact with
wild birds or their droppings and secretions. With cooler and damper fall weather, the virus can survive
22 of 212
for longer periods in the environment, which increases the risk of transmission. This disease can also be
spread by humans through contact with contaminated surfaces and droppings, and the improper
protocols not being followed in cleaning themselves, clothing and footwear prior contact with domestic
birds. It is also believed that some strains of the virus could potentially be carried airborne as well.
Given the geographic location of the Town of Collingwood(on Georgian Bay), this only increases, in my
mind, the potential opportunity for the avian influenza virus to be potentially spread. Being home to
many species of migratory birds and many waterfowl species, exposure to this virus by both birds and
humans is extremely high! While I applaud and admire the Garbutt family for their want to be
responsible pet owners and seizing the opportunity to raise farm animals, keep in mind that farming is
more than just an occupation but is in fact a profession, one that requires training, certification and in
the case of poultry production, very regimented and strict biosecurity protocols put in place by both
government and the commodities themselves. These rules are put in place to best protect themselves
and their livestock from such diseases like avian influenza along with many others, that can/could
ultimately financially wipeout a business.
Beyond avian influenza, there is a multitude of other concerns. Backyard hens are especially vulnerable
to predation. Dogs, cats, snakes, coyotes, wolves, hawks, raccoons are all natural predators and while
the loss of these animals may be devastating to the owners proper removal and destructing of the
carcasses if this occurs is vitally important. The farm community is continuously under attack from
activists who think they are more knowledgeable on animal husbandry than those who raise them. This
type of experience can be far more devastating than the loss of an animal through predation or disease.
Is the family prepared for a visit from OSPCA? Is the family aware that humans can contract avian
influenza? I am not trying to fear monger with these comments, but to make you and your council
aware of some of the negatives surrounding these types of requests made by your ratepayers.
Decisions by municipal councils on these types of matters are never easy. The good news story like
Declan and Brodie Garbutt tugs on our human emotions. Having society have a better understanding of
what I do and what agriculture is all about has been a life- long goal of mine. However as a council I ask
that you take the time to consider the potential ramifications any decision on this matter. I would
respectfully ask that the raising of livestock be left in the hands of those who do it for a living.
Sincerely,
Keith Currie
Vice President
Ontario Federation of Agriculture

Water Turn On/Offs
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with information on the historical
practice of allowing customers to turn off water services, while being exempt from the
water and sewer fixed monthly charge, in order that it may recommend that staff
cease this practice effective immediately.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council receive Staff Report ES2015-10-C, and further authorize proceeding
with the implementation of fixed monthly water and sewer charges while curb stops
are turned off, in accordance with By-law 2015-58.
1. BACKGROUND
As per Section 6.13 of the Water By-law, customers may request their curb stop be
turned off by Water Department/Operators while they are not occupying a premise. This
is done to protect their property from potential leaks while the home is left unoccupied.
The turn-off is completed for a fee of $43.00 as per the 2015 Water Fees and Service
Charges. Operators follow a Standard Operating Procedure to complete this work.
-1-
27 of 212
For some time now, it has been a practice to not charge the fixed monthly fees for the
duration of the service shutoff. The customer will incur the shutoff fee but has been
exempt from the monthly fixed portion of their bill. The practice of not charging a fixed
monthly fee was discussed by the CPUSB in 2014 however a decision was not reached
and the policy remained under review. The Water By-law was amended in 2015 and
the provision to charge fixed monthly fees when a service is turned off was included; as
it was in the previous By-law. Staff are asking for a clear direction from the Committee
to proceed with the intent of the By-law and charge the fixed monthly portion of the
water and sewer bill during any customer initiated turnoff in accordance with the by-law.
In 2014, the Water Department turned curb stops on 159 occasions for a variety of
reasons including the completion of internal plumbing work, rental properties being
vacant between tenants, as well as customers leaving their property vacant for a
season while they leave Collingwood.
2. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES
This matter has been discussed extensively with all involved departments; billing and
finance, water operators and water administration. Information has been obtained from
neighboring municipalities including Town of the Blue Mountains, Wasaga Beach,
Clearview and Barrie, all of which have a large population of seasonal customers. In all
instances, none of the surveyed municipalities provide an exemption from fixed monthly
charges.
Department Heads reviewed this report at their regular meeting on Tuesday October 13,
2015 and the report was recommended to proceed to the Environmental Services
Standing Committee.
The report was reviewed by the Environmental Services Standing Committee on
October 20th, 2015 and recommended to proceed to Council for approval.
3. APPLICABLE POLICY OR LEGISLATION
Section 6.13 of the Water By-law states:
“… The owner or occupant may apply in writing to Collingwood Public Utilities to have
the shut-off valve turned off to stop water supply. The valve will be turned on only at
the owner‘s request and in the owner‘s presence. The owner shall pay for this service
at the rate as indicated in the current Town‘s Fees and Service Charges By-Law. The
owner will continue to be responsible for the fixed monthly charges as indicated in the
current Town‘s Fees and Service Charges By-Law.
4. ANALYSIS
The fixed monthly service charges, as dictated by the Water and Wastewater Rate
Study, account for the basic costs to provide the service, regardless of volume. This
-2-
28 of 212
basic cost includes the maintenance of water and wastewater infrastructure, including
treatment facilities. The Rate Study looks at the total number of service connections to
determine fixed monthly charges, not the number of services with curb stops in the ‘on’
position.
A fixed monthly rate is intended to support the fixed cost regardless if the service is
used or not. Waving this fee for approximately 100 residents annually is being absorbed
by the remainder of the customer base and is unfair to other users. When a curbstop is
turned off water is still available in Town owned watermains for other uses which a
customer has the benefit of, such as firefighting. It should also be noted that customers
who experienced water interruptions for prolonged periods, such as frozen services,
were not exempt from their fixed rates.
If Council accepts this recommendation and fixed monthly rates are applied, it is
expected that we will receive fewer requests to complete turnoffs. A curb stop is a
connection point and should be used for emergency purposes only. Continual operation
as an isolation valve can cause damage, resulting in emergency repairs and leaks that
would not normally occur. These repairs are fixed at 100% cost to the Utility.
5. EFFECT ON TOWN FINANCES
Using 2014 as an example, we can expect to see revenues of more than $32,461.00
per year by enforcing the By-law and not allowing exemptions from fixed monthly rates.
It should be noted that we did collect $6837.00 in 2014 from the $43.00 Fees and
Services Charge. Presumably this revenue would decrease if Council agrees to support
this recommendation, as fewer residents would request this service if there are no fixed
charges savings.

Back Up Generator Repairs – Wastewater Treatment Plant
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with information on an emergency
repair to the backup diesel generator which has been completed at the Wastewater
Treatment plant.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council receive Staff Report ES2015-11 entitled “Back Up Generator Repairs –
Wastewater Treatment Plant” for information.
1. BACKGROUND
Backup power at the Wastewater Treatment plant is provided through a Detroit Diesel
800kWa backup generator. This piece of equipment is named in the Certificate of
Approval and is essential to the safe operation of the plant. It is also considered vital to
the Emergency Response Plan.
Through a competitive bid process, Toromont Cat has been contracted to conduct
annual preventative maintenance in accordance with CAN/CSA-232-a-M86 & CSAC282, as well as manufacturer’s recommendations, on all generators in water and
-1-
30 of 212
wastewater facilities in 2015 and 2016. During the inspection on July 13, 2015 at the
Wastewater Treatment plant, major leaks were discovered on all cylinder heads which
needed to be repaired immediately. This work was deemed necessary to ensure the
reliability of the wastewater treatment system and safety of the Operators.
Staff obtained a quotation from Toromont Cat and authorized the work to be complete.
Repairs were completed over a ten week period, during which time a replacement
generator was rented.
Department Heads reviewed this report at their regular meeting on Tuesday October 13,
2015 and the report was recommended to proceed to the Environmental Services
Standing Committee.
The report was reviewed by the Environmental Services Standing Committee on
October 20th, 2015 and recommended to proceed to Council for approval.

Bylaw No. 2006-42: A By-Law to Provide for the Purchase of Goods and
Services Section 6.7 pertaining to Emergency Purchasing Procedures
Certificate of Approval
MOECC Bypass Guidelines
4. ANALYSIS
In the event of power loss without a backup generator, the influent pumps would cease
to work resulting in customers’ sewers backing up within 30 minutes. No power would
also mean no aeration, no circulation of the wastewater in the tankage and no UV
disinfection. Wastewater would flow through the plant hydraulically, with minimal
treatment, within 6 hours. This situation would be similar to a plant by-pass; meaning
discharge from the plant would enter Georgian Bay without treatment. This is a nonconforming adverse condition that the MOECC deems a high risk environmental
aspect.
Had the leaks not been found during routine maintenance, a complete breakdown of the
generator would have been imminent. This would have resulted not only in a $500,000
replacement cost of the equipment, but at least a year of rental costs totaling $213,200
as this generator is not readily available.
Staff authorized Toromont Cat to complete the work by following the Emergency
Purchasing Procedure. As such, we are providing Council with this information report.
Staff will be recommending a complete replacement of the generator at the Wastewater
Treatment plant as part of the 2019 budget.
-2-
31 of 212
The repairs totaled $77,372.72 while the rental generator cost will be approximately
$41,000.00. Wastewater Treatment has a ‘Major/Emergency Repair’ balance of
$60,000.00. The remainder of the monies will come from surplus within the 2015
operating budget; which is primarily the result of significant changes to processes which
have drastically reduced costs allocated to ‘Chemicals’.

1. BACKGROUND
The Engineering Department called for proposals for engineering services for the Sanitary
Sewer Renewal Program. This is the next phase in the Town’s long term sanitary sewer renewal
program. As Council may be aware the Town recently completed the three year Phase 2 of the
program. This was a three year program where the Town completed between $1 to $2 million
worth of sewer related work each year. In this next three year phase, Engineering is proposing
a less aggressive program of between $1.0 and $1.2 million of work each year. Engineering
Services has reviewed and prioritized the streets for the next phase of the program. The
consultant will assist the Town in the rehabilitation of sanitary sewers as outlined in the
proposal. Due to the nature of the work and associated excavations, water main replacement
and road reconstruction will form part of the work. The following streets have been identified for
renewal:

Staff recommends the inclusion of a 15% contingency on the Lump Sum Consulting Fee due to
the potential for unforeseen circumstances in sewer projects of this nature.
C.C. Tatham & Associates is a well established local firm with significant experience on projects
in the Town of Collingwood and a vast resume of experience specific to similar projects. C.C.
Tatham & Associates completed all prior phases of the project and are well versed in the
Town’s requirements and potential challenges that can be expected. This prior experience,
combined with a strong team, thorough understanding of the project, and innovative work
program add value to the project that will more than compensate for the cost difference between
the lower priced bids.
The Evaluation Team recommends that C.C. Tatham & Associates be awarded the contract for
the Sanitary Renewal Program project for the total cost of $300,703.15 plus HST.
The Sanitary Renewal Program project is a budgeted capital expenditure for 2015.

Report #C2015-25
11/02/2015
Submitted to:

Submitted by:
Sara Almas, Clerk
Subject:
Parking By-law Amendments
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to amend the Parking By-law No. 2003-062 to prohibit
parking in Town laneways and to amend Schedule “A” to include additional no parking
zones.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council enact and pass an amending By-law for Parking By-law No. 2003-062
to prohibit parking in Town laneways and to amend Schedule “A” to include additional
no parking zones.
1. BACKGROUND
On July 28th, 2003, the Town of Collingwood enacted and passed By-law No. 2003-062,
a By-law for the regulation of parking within the Corporation of the Town of Collingwood.
Since that time, the Town of Collingwood has enacted and passed several Parking Bylaw amendments as necessitated.
The Town of Collingwood currently owns several laneways in various parts of the Town
of Collingwood. The primary purpose of these laneways is access to the adjacent
properties. Concerns have been raised by residents along these laneways of vehicles
parking and obstructing their access and a permanent solution is required.
A number of residents have been contacted regarding this change and most are in
support, with one person in opposition. It has been observed that some tenants of
nearby properties may utilize these laneways for parking.
-1-
49 of 212
The Development and Operations Services Standing Committee considered the
recommendations at its meeting held October 26, 2015, and requested consideration be
given to restricting parking on one side of Elliott Avenue only. If Council agrees with the
recommendation of the Standing Committee, Staff would recommend the west side be
restricted only to allow people to park on the side of the road closest to the effected
businesses. It should also be acknowledged that current restrictions within the Parking
By-law restrict parking within 15.25 metres of an intersection abutting a through highway
when signs are on display.
The Municipal Act allows for a local municipality to pass a By-law relating to Highways,
including parking and traffic on those highways.
Part 2, Section 15(1) of the Provincial Offences Act allows Municipal Law Enforcement
officers to issue parking infraction notices.
4. ANALYSIS
No Parking Zones – All Laneways
In previous years, parking complaints have been received regarding vehicles
obstructing several public laneways across the Town of Collingwood; specifically in the
downtown area where lanes are most common. Parking Enforcement has in the past
issued warning tickets for ‘Park – Obstruct Traffic’ to warn operators of the issue. It
would assist motorist and enforcement staff to have signs posted indicating no parking
in these areas. Laneways in the Town are to be used by vehicles to access adjacent
properties, not as additional parking. Some owners rely on these laneways remaining
clear and unobstructed for access to driveway parking.
The Parking Department recommends amending the Parking By-law to include no
parking zones be created in public laneways in the Town of Collingwood. These areas
would be signed accordingly and enforced by parking staff as required.
No Parking – Additions to “Schedule A”
Location: Ste. Marie Street at Hume
Recommendation: No parking zone on the West side of Ste. Marie Street from Hume
Street to a point approximately 40 meters south.
The redevelopment of Hume Street has seen some
changes to the intersection at Ste. Marie and Hume
and the entrance/exits of the nearby business.
Parking concerns have been raised by tenants of
obstructions to driveways and cars parking close to
the intersection on a narrow road causing safety
concerns.
-2-
50 of 212
The Parking Department recommends amending the Parking By-law to include a no
parking zone of approximately 40 meters to ensure no vehicles park close to the
intersection and do not obstruct vision and access of the adjacent commercial driveway.
Location: First Street and Maple Street North
Recommendation: No parking zone on Maple
Street North
Due to an increase in recent commercial activity,
an increase of on street parking has been
periodically observed by officers on Maple Street
North adjacent to several businesses. This surge
in activity is observed on weekends and holidays
and has caused traffic obstructions and safety
concerns when vehicles have parked on both
sides of Maple Street North. A signed no parking
zone would increase the traffic safety and ensure
the
intersection
and
driveways
remain
unobstructed.
Location: Oak Street and Cedar Street
Recommendation: No Parking zone on
Laneway between Oak Street and Cedar
Street.
Safety concerns have been raised regarding
vehicles and buses parking along the
laneway beside Harbourview Park. This is a
heavily used trail by bikes and pedestrians
and suitable sightlines should be maintained
for bikes and pedestrians entering and
exiting the trail at this point to access the
nearby parking.
The Parking Department recommends
amending the Parking By-law to include a no parking zone along the north side of this
laneway between Oak Street and Cedar Street.
Location: Ste. Marie Street South of Collins
Recommendation: No Parking Zone along
narrow section of two cul-de-sacs
Concerns have been raised regarding access
of services vehicles and emergency vehicles
at the narrow portion of road between two
abutting cul-de-sacs. When parked vehicles
are left on either or both sides of this road
access to the rear dwelling by larger vehicles
-3-
51 of 212
is obstructed. A limited no parking zone at the most narrow portion of road would relieve
these issues.
Location: Elliot Avenue
Recommendation: No Parking Zone on
both sides of street
Several residents and business owners in
the area have brought to the Town
concerns regarding safety due to the
parking issues on Elliot Avenue. During
peak times it is reported that cars have
been observed parked on all sides of Elliot
Avenue and in close proximity to
entrances, driveways and intersections of
roads
and
businesses
causing
obstructions and safety concerns for
motorists and pedestrians in the area.
Staff originally proposed no parking on both sides of Elliott Avenue. After discussions at
the Development and Operations Services Standing Committee (refer to Input from
Other Sources), if Council agrees with the Standing Committee, Staff would recommend
a no parking zone on the west side of Elliot Avenue only at this time. This would begin
to relieve these issues and will proactively prevent any snow removal issues in the
winter months. The area will be observed by the parking department for further issues
relating to parking and snow removal.
Laneway No Parking areas and new no parking zones will have minimal impact with
respect to signage, installation, and enforcement as required.

STAFF REPORT P2015-31-C
Reviewed by Development and Operations
Services Standing Committee
on October 26, 2015
Recommendation: The report to proceed to Council.
Date:
November 2, 2015
Submitted to:
Mayor and Council
Submitted by:
Subject:
Extension of Draft Approval for Plan of Subdivision
Mountaincroft (D1202615)
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an analysis regarding a request to extend
draft approval for the proposed Mountaincroft Plan of Subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council extends the draft approval for the proposed Mountaincroft Plan of Subdivision
for a further year (January 11th, 2017).
1. BACKGROUND
The proposed extension to the Mountaincroft Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision (Town File No.
D1202615) pertains to lands located at the northeast corner of Poplar Side Road and High
Street. The 374 unit Mountaincroft Plan of Subdivision was given draft plan approval on January
11, 2006. The eastern portion of the subdivision was registered on September 26, 2008 as Plan
51M-920 for 174 single detached dwelling units (Instrument # SC685425) and is now
approaching build out.
The draft approval for the remaining portion of the subdivision (approximately 200 single
detached dwelling units) lapses on January 11, 2016. With the completion of the first three
phase of the subdivision (Plan 920) the applicant is now actively pursuing registration of the rest
of the subdivision (phases 4, 5 and 6) (File No. D1208115). The applicant is looking for a minor
extension to draft approval to provide additional time for completion of the registration process if
needed.
This report was forwarded to Department Heads on October 20th, 2015 for review and it was
recommended to proceed to the Development & Operations Services Standing Committee for
consideration.

APPLICABLE POLICY OR LEGISLATION
Matters of Provincial Interest
Section 2 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c .P. 13, as amended, provides that Council in
carrying out their responsibilities under the Planning Act shall have regard to matters of provincial
interest.
Planning staff is satisfied that the extension of this Draft Plan, if granted, shall not offend any
matters of provincial interest.
Provincial Policy Statement (PPS - 2014)
Section 3(5) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c .P. 13, as amended, provides that the Council of
a municipality, in exercising any authority that affects a planning matter, shall ensure that those
powers are exercised in a manner that is consistent with the policy statements issued by the
Province.
Planning staff is satisfied that the extension of this Draft Plan, if granted, will be consistent with
the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement.
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
The Growth Plan emphasizes the creation of compact, transit-supportive and complete
communities and sets a minimum greenfield density target of 50 residents and or jobs per
hectare (on a townwide/county wide basis). The proposed plan of subdivision is located within a
designated greenfield area adjacent to the identified built boundary of the Town (June 2006) and
forms a reasonable extension of the existing built-up urban part of the Town in terms of the
transportation, servicing and parks and trail networks. The plans anticipated density is
approximately 35 persons per hectare, based on the projected dwelling unit count multiplied by a
person per unit average of 2.31 (taken from the 2011 Census) as well as assumptions for future
secondary units (apartments in house) and employment from home occupations.
Notwithstanding the density target of the Growth Plan, it is acknowledged that the draft approval
of this plan of subdivision predates the Growth Plan and that stormwater management, parkland
dedication and transportation/servicing planning have already been completed.
County of Simcoe, Official Plan
Schedule 5.1 entitled Land Use Designations of the County of Simcoe Official Plan, as amended,
identifies the Town of Collingwood as a Settlement Area. The County of Simcoe Planning
Division has provided no specific comments with respect to this proposal.
Planning staff is satisfied that the extension of this Draft Plan, if granted, will conform to the
general intent and purpose of the County of Simcoe Official Plan.
Town of Collingwood Official Plan
Schedule “A” entitled Land Use Plan of the Town of Collingwood Official Plan identifies the
subject lands as being designated Residential and further defined as Low and Medium Density
Residential on Schedule ‘C’ entitled Residential Density Plan in the Town of Collingwood Official
Plan, as amended.
2
58 of 212
Planning Services Staff advise that the draft approved Plan of Subdivision maintains the general
intent and purpose of the Town of Collingwood Official Plan.
Town of Collingwood Zoning By-law No. 2010-040, as amended
Schedule “A”, Map 9 of the Town of Collingwood Zoning By-law No. 2010-040, as amended,
identifies the subject property as being zoned Holding Twelve Residential Third Density (‘H12’R3)
and Holding Twelve Residential Third Density Exception Three (‘H12’R3-3). The Zoning permits
the proposed single detached residential dwelling units, with appropriate zone provisions.
4. ANALYSIS
The Owner of the lands has requested an extension to their draft approval for a further year (1)
year (January 11th, 2017).
Planning staff have reviewed the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision and are of the opinion that
the development and associated conditions of draft plan approval continue to have planning merit
and are appropriate under the Town’s Official Plan policies and Zoning provisions, as well as
County of Simcoe and Provincial planning policies.
The request for an extension to the existing draft plan approval was circulated to internal
departments and external agencies for comment. No objections or requests for revisions to the
existing draft plan conditions were received.
Conclusion
At this time Staff would support a Draft Plan extension to January 11th, 2017, for the plan of
subdivision, thus an extension of a further one (1) years.
Directly there are no impacts on Town finances as a result of the review of these applications as
costs are covered as part of the requisite application fee.

Mayor and Council
Submitted by:
Subject:
Extension of Draft Approval for Plan of Subdivision
Mair Mills Villages (D1202515)
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an analysis regarding a request to extend
draft approval for the proposed Mair Mills Villages Plan of Subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council extends the draft approval for the proposed Mair Mills Villages Plan of
Subdivision for a further three (3) years (April 29th, 2019).
1. BACKGROUND
The proposed extension to the Mair Mills Villages Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision (Town File
No. D1202515) pertains to land located southwest of the Tenth Line and Mountain Road
intersection, and is commonly referred to as the ‘Mair Mills Villages’ Plan of Subdivision.
The Mair Mills Subdivision is currently draft approved for a three hundred and two (302) dwelling
units, consisting of ninety-nine (99) single-detached units, thirty-six (36) semi-detached units
and one hundred and thirty-two (132) multiple dwelling units (i.e. 4 blocks for townhouses or
apartments) and includes a 0.378 ha local convenience commercial block. The current draft
plan approval expires on April 29th, 2016. The draft approval was originally given on May 19,
2009 and was subsequently revised and given an extension on April 29, 2013 to increase the
overall density and make a number of minor changes to the configuration of streets and lots.
This report was forwarded to Department Heads on October 20th, 2015 for review and it was
recommended to proceed to the Development & Operations Services Standing Committee for
consideration.

APPLICABLE POLICY OR LEGISLATION
Matters of Provincial Interest
Section 2 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c .P. 13, as amended, provides that Council in
carrying out their responsibilities under the Planning Act shall have regard to matters of
provincial interest.
Planning staff is satisfied that the extension of this Draft Plan, if granted, shall not offend any
matters of provincial interest.
Provincial Policy Statement (PPS - 2014)
Section 3(5) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c .P. 13, as amended, provides that the Council
of a municipality, in exercising any authority that affects a planning matter, shall ensure that
those powers are exercised in a manner that is consistent with the policy statements issued by
the Province.
Planning staff is satisfied that the extension of this Draft Plan, if granted, will be consistent with
the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement.
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
The Growth Plan emphasizes the creation of compact, transit-supportive and complete
communities and sets a minimum greenfield density target of 50 residents and or jobs per
hectare (on a townwide/county wide basis). The proposed plan of subdivision is located within a
designated greenfield area adjacent to the identified built boundary of the Town (June 2006)
and forms a reasonable extension of the existing built-up urban part of the Town in terms of the
transportation, servicing and parks and trail networks. The plans anticipated density is
approximately 40 persons per hectare, based on a projected dwelling unit count of 302
townhomes or apartments multiplied by a person per unit average of 2.31 (taken from the 2011
Census) as well as assumptions for future secondary units (apartments in house), home
occupations and employment associated with the local convenience block.
County of Simcoe, Official Plan
Schedule 5.1 entitled Land Use Designations of the County of Simcoe Official Plan, as
amended, identifies the Town of Collingwood as a Settlement Area. The County of Simcoe
Planning Division has provided no specific comments with respect to this proposal.
Planning staff is satisfied that the extension of this Draft Plan, if granted, will conform to the
general intent and purpose of the County of Simcoe Official Plan.
Town of Collingwood Official Plan
Schedule “A” entitled Land Use Plan of the Town of Collingwood Official Plan identifies the
subject lands as being designated Residential and further defined as Low and Medium Density
Residential on Schedule ‘C’ entitled Residential Density Plan in the Town of Collingwood Official
Plan, as amended.
Planning Services Staff advise that the draft approved Plan of Subdivision maintains the general
intent and purpose of the Town of Collingwood Official Plan.
69 of 212
Town of Collingwood Zoning By-law No. 2010-040, as amended
Schedule “A”, Map 9 of the Town of Collingwood Zoning By-law No. 2010-040, as amended,
identifies the subject property as being zoned, Residential Third Density (R3), Residential Third
Density Exception Forty-Nine (R3-49), Recreation (REC), Environmental Protection (EP) and
Convenience Commercial (C6). The Zoning permits low and medium density residential
dwelling units, with appropriate zone provisions.
4. ANALYSIS
The Owner of the lands has requested an extension to their draft approval for a further three (3)
years (April 29th, 2019).
Planning staff have reviewed the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision and are of the opinion that
the development and associated conditions of draft plan approval continue to have planning
merit and are appropriate under the Town’s Official Plan policies and Zoning provisions, as well
as County of Simcoe and Provincial planning policies.
The request for an extension to the existing draft plan approval was circulated to internal
departments and external agencies for comment. No objections or requests for revisions to the
existing draft plan conditions were received.
Conclusion
At this time Staff would support a Draft Plan extension to April 29th, 2019, for the plan of
subdivision, thus an extension of a further three (3) years.
Directly there are no impacts on Town finances as a result of the review of these applications as
costs are covered as part of the requisite application fee.

Date:
November 2, 2015
Submitted to:
Mayor & Council
Submitted by:
Subject:
Backyard Urban Chickens
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to review a resident request to permit backyard chickens
received by the Development and Operations Services Standing Committee, and to provide
information related to urban chickens for Council’s consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council receive Staff Report P2015-34 for information purposes. OR
THAT Council authorize the initiation of an application for Official Plan and Zoning By-law
amendments and the required public consultation process and allow a moratorium of
enforcement for existing properties with backyard chickens.
1. BACKGROUND
Our region has recently seen a trend of residents seeking to raise backyard/urban chickens
which has resulted in many area municipalities reviewing the issue with varying policy
decisions. On September 28, 2015 a Collingwood resident brought to the Development and
Operations Services Standing Committee a deputation outlining a request for the Town of
Collingwood to amend its by-laws to allow for backyard chickens. Keeping of chickens and
other varieties of livestock is currently a contravention of the Town’s Official Plan and Zoning
By-law 2010-040.
This report was forwarded to Department Heads meeting for review on October 20th, 2015 and
it was recommended to proceed to Development & Operations Services Standing Committee
for further consideration.
-1-
85 of 212
Comments have been received from the public both in support and in opposition to changing
Town policies.
Town of Collingwood Community Based Strategic Plan (2015) – Supporting local food
initiatives
The Town of Collingwood Official Plan does not list the keeping of chickens as a specifically
permitted use in Residential areas. In addition, in Rural areas intensive agricultural uses
which are defined to include buildings for the raising of chickens, turkeys or other fowl, fish, fur
bearing animals, hogs, and cattle, the keeping of horses, are not permitted.
Section 4.7 of Zoning By-law 2010-040 and Town of Collingwood By-law 2012-016 –
Responsible Pet Ownership By-law.
4. ANALYSIS
Development and Operations Standing Committee Deputation
The Deputation received on September 28, 2015 from Felicity Garbutt formally requested
that the Town change Zoning By-law 2010-040. Section 4.7.1 (vi) currently prohibits “The
use of a lot for the raising, breeding, keeping or intensive feeding of livestock or any
prohibited animal or private zoo”. The request cites the Sustainable Community Plan (2008),
specifically 3 of the 4 Pillars - environmental, economic and cultural. Ms. Garbutt explained “I
believe small-scale chicken keeping is a healthy, economic and sustainable way to feed and
enrich our families and our community”. The request recommended the Town regulate the
keeping of hens and she provided some examples of limitations that could be imposed, such
as specifying a maximum number of birds, a prohibition on roosters, sanitary requirements
and license fees to remain revenue neutral. A petition was presented in support of backyard
chickens with approximately 432 names (Appendix B). Not all were Collingwood residents.
Staff Report P2014-20
On May 5, 2014 Council received staff report P2014-20 from the Planning Department
outlining the general prohibition for livestock in the Town and the required changes to the
Town’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law if Council wished to permit backyard chickens. At
that time, no residents had come forward requesting the changes and no complaints of
chickens in Town had been reported to the By-law Department. The report stated that “to
investigate, develop and enact new policies and regulations, either supportive or prohibitive,
would likely require a minimum of six to nine months”.
Analysis
In reviewing information provided by a number of sources including, news articles, numerous
websites such as backyardchickens.ca and http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca, staff have
prepared the following outlining some of the benefits and concerns of keeping backyard
chickens in urban settings. Many of the benefits are centered on economic and locally
-2-
86 of 212
sourced food and value as pets, while the concerns are primarily related to biosecurity,
nuisances and public/animal health.
Benefits





Access to high quality eggs that are of higher nutritional value than those typically
provided through our dominant food system;
Access to eggs that come from a local, known source and help with food security;
Friendly pets;
Present a learning experience for families and neighbours and foster an
understanding of where food comes from; and,
Provide high quality fertilizer and may be used to dispose of weeds and kitchen
scraps to avoid landfills.
Concerns
The Ontario Ministry for Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ website states four main
issues municipalities should consider prior to developing by-laws around keeping poultry.
“Animal Health and Public Health: Livestock and poultry can be sources of
diseases that are passed to humans. These animals require health management
and veterinary care, as well as basic biosecurity measures, to minimize the
occurrence and spread of diseases.
Animal Care: Basic hygiene is essential when caring for animals, who also need
proper shelter, food, water and adequate space to stay healthy. Manure must be
disposed of in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. But even with the
best care, some animals will die, which means there have to be plans for
disposing of dead animals.
Predators: Livestock and poultry can attract predators such as coyotes, rats,
skunks, raccoons, foxes and neighbourhood pets.
Food Safety: Municipal Councils should also be aware of provincial and federal
regulations regarding food safety. For example, regulations under the Food
Safety and Quality Act, 2001 govern the sale of ungraded eggs.”
By-law Enforcement and Planning Staff appreciate that many of these issues may be
addressed with an appropriate by-law setting out for example that this use may only be
permitted accessory to single detached homes, that there be minimum residential lot sizes for
the keeping of chickens; and, required standards of care and limitations on coops and their
placement. However consideration should be given to enforcement and the possible
outcomes if these regulations are not willingly followed.
Staff generally have fewer concerns with the keeping of a limited number of a variety of
animals on the lands within Town that are designated and zoned rural.
Some animal control related concerns would be:
• Chickens running at large and abandoned chickens (where to take them);
-3-
87 of 212
•
•
•
•
•
Predators (Coyote/Raccoons) getting into substandard coops or at unsecure birds;
Proper disposal of dead chickens, and slaughter practices;
Financial and staffing impacts to run a licensing program with coop inspections;
Pest concerns with insecure feed and unsanitary conditions; and,
Potential for odours and noise that may bother other residents.
Policy/By-law Amendments Required
Should Council deem it appropriate to invest time and resources into further exploration of the
issue, staff would prepare a draft Official Plan Amendment, a draft Zoning By-law
Amendment, and details relating to the proposed regulation and oversight of an urban chicken
program; such as limiting the number of chickens, not permitting roosters (noise), and
minimum distances from neighbouring homes.
Staff would advertise a public meeting so that there would be an opportunity for community
consultation and the local health unit would be contacted for input. Staff would recommend
that a decision to adopt an OPA and amend the Zoning By-law would not be made until after
the above noted documentation is drafted and circulated widely for public comment.
By-law and Administration costs for running a licensing/registration program and
enforcement of the by-law, if approved. [Cost unknown]

1. BACKGROUND
Over the past several years, LED lighting technology has advanced to a point where it matches
or exceeds existing lighting technologies from both a technical and financial perspective, all
while providing significant energy savings. As such, and with provincial incentive programs
available, staff believe it an opportune time to retrofit the Town’s street lighting system.
Reviewed at Department Heads meeting on October 20, 2015.
The completion of the LED street light retrofit project was a recommendation outlined in the
Town of Collingwood Public Works and Engineering Services Review Report (August 14, 2015),
conducted by BMA Management Consulting Inc.
The Province's Green Energy Act, regulation 397/11 mandated that the Town create an Energy
Conservation and Demand Management plan for its facilities (i.e. buildings). Since street
lighting does not fall under the “facilities” category, the LED retrofit was not included in this plan;
however, the retrofit initiative can be considered a complimentary program and in line with the
spirit the act and regulation.
4. ANALYSIS
The Engineering department called for proposals for the LED retrofit of the Town’s existing
street light system. A public Request for Proposal (RPF) was issued August 20, 2015, on
Biddingo.com and closed September 16, 2015, at 3PM in the Clerk’s office. Four proposals
were received.
A staff committee independently evaluated and ranked each of the proposals taking into
consideration the firm’s corporate capabilities and experience, understanding of the project
objectives, work program and innovation, proposed schedule, references, product and warranty,
project team, and finally their fees and disbursements.

RealTerm Energy will be working in collaboration with Local Authority Services (LAS), a not-forprofit organization that was created by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) to help
municipalities realize lower costs and higher revenues through co-operative procurement efforts
and innovative programs and services.
-2-
113 of 212
RealTerm Energy has contracted with Barrie, Owen Sound, Innisfil, Georgina, Blue Mountains,
Wasaga Beach and 125 other municipalities for a full turn-key LED street lighting service
(mostly in Ontario). They are an experienced firm who are more than capable of carrying out a
successful project.
Investment Grade Audit
Phase 1 of the project is the creation of an Investment Grade Audit (IGA). This includes a
survey and inventory of the Town’s existing street lights; a photometric study to determine the
wattage and type of replacement fixtures; IESO incentive amounts; a financial breakdown of the
exact cost to complete the retrofit; and anticipated electricity and maintenance savings.
For bidding purposes, the Town provided an inventory of the Town’s street lighting system. Due
to the age of the system, the Town’s inventory is expected to be somewhat inaccurate. As a
result, the supplier will be paid based on the number of units installed at the unit rate provided in
their proposal, as opposed to an upset limit. This means that the price quoted of $1,475,617.99
could fluctuate. If the IGA yields a lower price, staff will proceed with the project; however, if the
IGA yields a higher price, staff will seek approval from council to proceed. In any event, Council
has the option to cancel the project altogether, with the supplier being paid only for work done to
prepare the IGA.
Staff Report T2015-07-C (attached) proposed to utilize the County of Simcoe Solid Waste
Landfill Settlement monies to fund the LED retrofit – these monies total $1,657,133. Staff was
instructed to defer the decision whether to utilize these funds for this project until more
information was known. While it is anticipated that the total project cost will fluctuate based on
the actual number of existing fixtures, it is not anticipated that the price will exceed the
$1,657,133 available.
It is therefore requested that these monies be used to fund the LED
retrofit project. Staff is not aware of any other capital project that could provide comparable
betterment to the Town. The LED retrofit provides the best return on investment as it provides
savings to the Town in perpetuity. Savings on electricity and maintenance costs could amount
to approximately $135,000 per year, with this number being refined as part of the Investment
Grand Audit.

Proposal in order to fund the LED light project.
1. BACKGROUND
A proposal to upgrade Collingwood’s streetlights to LED technology has been included
as part of the 2015 Capital Budget for the Public Works Department. The project has
obvious merits in that it creates significant operating efficiencies in the form of reduced
energy consumption and significantly reduced annual maintenance requirements. Also,
there are incentives and rebates from the OPA. However, there is a significant up front
project cost of $1.4m net of the OPA rebate which cannot be accommodated from the
existing capital reserves. These existing reserves are primarily earmarked for asset
replacement and refurbishment. An alternate option to use vendor financing was
considered but this approach increases the overall cost of the project significantly and,
as such, was deemed unacceptable. The funding approach we have investigated and
are recommending for Council’s approval is to use the proceeds from a settlement
proposal from the County of Simcoe for Collingwood’s solid waste landfill site to finance
the LED project.

4. ANALYSIS
LED Lights
LED lights offer many benefits over traditional street lighting technology. The main
advantage is energy consumption; LED lighting typically consumes 40-70% less energy
than existing systems. Another advantage is the long life span of the LED “bulbs”
themselves. LED lights have a typical lifespan of over 100,000 hours, or approximately
22 years. This translates into substantial maintenance savings as lights will require
replacement less often. The light given off by LED technology is also improved.
Existing High Pressure Sodium bulbs give off an orange like glow while LEDs emit a
colour spectrum that mimics that of the moon, providing brighter and cleaner
illumination that can help improve roadway safety. Not only is the light of a better
quality, but it can be directed more efficiently. LED lighting is more controllable than the
old style, meaning more light can be directed out of people’s yards and windows and
onto the roadway. In addition, most LED manufacturers produce International Dark Sky
-2-
117 of 212
Association Compliant units that emit very little light upwards into the atmosphere,
reducing overall light pollution.
The dollar savings based on the above noted efficiencies is estimated to be $135,000
per year based on our streetlights current average annual consumption of 1.5m kWs
and a billing rate of $0.15/kWs. A 50% energy savings would therefore equate to
$113,000 annually. An estimated 80% savings on maintenance would be a further
$22,000 for a combined savings of $135,000 annually before factoring in inflation.
Collingwood Solid Waste Landfill
The County of Simcoe assumed responsibility for all waste collection in 1991 which
included the assumption of the waste management assets of the member
municipalities. At that point in time, the County entered into agreements with the
municipalities for the repayment of the deemed value of the assets. These agreements
generally follow a format which repays the settlement amount with a discount from the
tipping fee multiplied by the municipality’s annual residential tonnage. However, in the
past decade (and mainly due to the success of recycling diversion programs) annual
waste tonnage has been reduced significantly as has the resulting annual repayments
based on the tipping fees. This has effectively extended significantly the time frame of
the settlements values, in some cases in excess of 100 years. Some of the impacted
municipalities requested the County accelerate this timeframe and, as a result, in 2013
the County came up with a settlement proposal in the form of onetime lump sum
payments for each municipality. Simcoe’s proposal to Collingwood was $1.7m
calculated as follows:

Financing Proposal
The merits of the financing approach being proposed is perhaps most simply illustrated
by comparing the present value of the repayment income stream we currently receive
1
A discount rate is used to determine the present value of the payments. Due to the long payment term,
30-year rates are used. The 30-year Infrastructure Ontario Municipal lending rate is currently 4.06% and
the 30-year Canada Bond investment yield is currently 2.93%. To be fair to both the County and the
Municipality, the average of these borrowing and investment rates (3.50%) is used as the discount rate.

from the County for the landfill with the present value of the operational savings to be
realized from the LED streetlights efficiencies. Based on the above calculations we
already know the present value of the landfill repayment stream to be $1.7m whereas
the present value of the $134,000 estimated annual operational savings from the LED
light discounted indefinitely at 5% is $2.7m. A discount rate of 5% is used as this is the
current estimated inflation rate for electricity and the $135m annual savings is assumed
to continue indefinitely 2. Based on the two present value calculations, it is clearly more
beneficial by $1m for Collingwood to pursue the proposed funding approach. In addition,
it should be noted that only $1.4m of the $1.7m received from the County for the landfill
is required for the LED project. The remaining $300m is available for other capital needs
or can be added to the Lifecycle Capital Reserve Fund for future capital asset
requirements.

The estimated payback period for the LED streetlight project would be 10.4 years
based on a investment of $1.4m and annual savings of $135,000. The annual
rate of return on the investment of $1.4m would 9.6%.

Another way to understand this amount is to think about what amount of money you need in a bank
account at 5% interest to return an annual interest income of $135,000. That amount is $2.7m

1. BACKGROUND
The Town is obligated to maintain its road and sidewalk network under the provisions of the
Ontario Municipal Act. Such maintenance activities include winter control services to ensure at
least a minimum level of safety for motorists and pedestrians.
Providing a safe road and sidewalk network mitigates liability for the Town and ensures
accessibility and efficient mobility of persons, goods and services throughout the municipality.
The Public Works Department is responsible to deliver winter control services, including snow
plowing, sanding & salting, winter drainage and sweeping & cleaning.
Winter maintenance levels of service for the road system are based on a road classification
priority system. Higher order roads such as arterials are highest priority; roads such as
residential streets are lower priority. Additionally, specific snowfall thresholds apply for the
plowing requirements of roads and sidewalks.
The Ontario Municipal Act gives municipalities jurisdiction over the maintenance of their road
and sidewalk network. A municipality is responsible to reasonably maintain its road system
throughout the year, including maintenance activities relating to winter control. Should a
municipality neglect to reasonably maintain its road system, it can be found liable for all
damages any person may sustain.

Ontario Regulation 239/02 Minimum Maintenance Standards
4. ANALYSIS
A. Winter Control Policy
A municipality’s best defense against claims of default of maintenance is the establishment and
implementation of Minimum Maintenance Standards.
Although, the Town of Collingwood has established and implemented such standards including
those for winter maintenance of our road and sidewalk network, the attached Winter Control
Plan, dated October 2015, is intended to provide greater clarity with respect to the
implementation of the Minimum Maintenance Standards (MMS); and more specifically, as it
relates to the Town of Collingwood.
-2-
123 of 212
The objective of the Winter Control Plan and Policy is to allow Committee and Council to:
1. Establish the level of service that it considers adequate for winter control operations for
municipal roads and parking lots and to allocate the appropriate budget and resources
that are needed to provide that level of service;
2. Provide general direction to Staff with respect to winter maintenance operations for
roads, sidewalks and parking lots and to outline a systematic and consistent approach to
providing winter control; and
3. Provide direction to Staff when dealing with complaints and concerns raised by the
public and others.
The Winter Control Plan sets out the level of service for winter maintenance operations for
roads, sidewalks and municipal parking lots.
It further establishes the discretion that is necessary and appropriate to enable the Director of
Public Works, or designate, to address abnormal winter storm events. The policy recognizes
that operational decisions will need to be made based on local conditions in the field depending
upon the extent and severity of a winter storm event, and as a result, there may necessarily
have to be some reasonable deviations from this Plan.
Despite what is stated in this Winter Control Plan, as a minimum, the Town will adhere to the
Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways as prescribed by the Ontario Ministry
of Transportation under Regulation 239/02, as amended from time to time.
All other regulatory requirements will also need to be met, including but not necessarily limited
to those set out in the Highway Traffic Act.
The Winter Control Plan will be used to educate, not only staff, but the general public, with
regards to winter maintenance activities in the Town of Collingwood.
B. Minimum Maintenance Standard Amendments
Some of the main revisions under this new Regulation include the following:
1. Section 1(1) was revised by adding new definitions. The ice definition makes clear that
“ice” means all kinds of ice, and takes into account that ice can form by snow bonding to
the road surface, humidity in the air precipitating out of the air, freezing rain or water on
the road (e.g. broken watermain) freezing and/or refreezing.
2. Section 3.1 was added to set out a standard for weather monitoring between October
1st and April 30th as once per shift or 3 times per calendar day, whichever is greater. At
all other times, the standard is once per calendar day.
3. Section 4 underwent revision to add a deeming clause that makes it clear that a road is
in a state of repair if the snow accumulation on a roadway is less than or equal to the
depth set out in the Table to the section for the class of roadway in question. This does
not mean that municipalities can standby and do nothing until the trigger depth has been
-3-
124 of 212
exceeded. The revised regulation strengthens the relationship between section 4 and 5
with the inclusion of the prevention of ice formation in section 5(1).
4. Revisions to Section 5 Icy Roadways have been extensive:
a) In Giuliani v. Region of Halton et. al., the Court of Appeal upheld the judge’s
reasoning that the municipality should have taken reasonable steps to avoid the
formation of ice on a roadway. As stated above, section 5(1) provides a minimum
standard for the prevention of ice formation on a roadway. Prevention steps include
monitoring the weather, patrolling as required, and if the municipality determines that
there is a substantial probability of ice forming on the roadway in question, to have
treated the roadway starting from the time the municipality determines is appropriate.
The addition of section 5(1)(3) provides the flexibility needed to time the response
and local procedures with the weather forecast provided;
b) Section 5(2) recognizes that in spite of municipality’s efforts to prevent ice from
forming, sometimes there will be icy roadways. If a municipality has complied with
section 5(1) then until a municipality has become aware of the fact that a roadway is
icy, or until ice has been present on the roadway for an amount of time greater than
the time set forth in the Table to section 5 of MMS for the class of roadway in
question, whichever is sooner, the roadway is deemed to be in a state of repair;
c) To ensure that municipalities can select the appropriate treatment, a definition of
“treating” is provided in section 5(4). “Treating” a roadway means applying material
to the roadway, including but not limited to, salt, sand or any combination of salt and
sand.
The adoption of the Winter Control Policy and the Amendments to the current MMS will
not have a direct impact on the winter maintenance budget.

THE TOWN OF TOWN OF COLLINGWOOD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WINTER CONTROL POLICY SECTION 1.0 POLICY 1.1 The Town of Town of Collingwood will ensure that roadways are maintained in such a manner as to minimize economic loss to the community, prevent or reduce accident and injury and facilitate access for emergencies by the emergency responders and police services. 1.2 The Town will establish a level of service that is adequate for winter control operations for municipal roads and parking lots and to allocate the appropriate budget and resources that are needed to provide that level of service. 1.3 As a minimum, the Town will adhere to the Minimum Maintenance Standards (MMS) for Municipal Highways as prescribed by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation under O.Reg. 239/02, as amended from time to time and as adopted by Collingwood Council as per By‐Law 2010‐056 1.4 The Town acknowledges that there may be times when, due to the severity of a winter event, the level of service may not be achieved within the usual time allotted. Under such circumstances, the Town will endeavour to recover winter maintenance operations in accordance with the Winter Control Policy as soon as practicable. SECTION 2.0 OBJECTIVES The objective of the Winter Control Policy is to define standards to be maintained and procedures to be followed, to reduce the hazards resulting from winter snow and ice, in order to maintain the Town’s roadways and sidewalks in a safe condition. Winter control standards establish levels of service for snow and ice control based on classes and priorities of roadways and sidewalks, to ensure the safe and efficient movement of people, goods and services, throughout the Municipality. The standards take into account the difference in traffic conditions and associated required risk management, on the various classes of roadways and sidewalks. TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY
Page5
130 of 212
Winter control procedures indicate the actions to be taken in order to maintain the above noted standards. The procedures, in conjunction with the standards, recognize that winter control measures cannot be carried out on all roadways and sidewalks at the same time, and due to the associated required risk management, must follow the priorities as defined by the classifications of the roadways and sidewalks. SECTION 3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 The Director of Public Works is ultimately responsible for the winter control operations within the Town of Town of Collingwood. 3.2 The Manager of Public Works, reporting to the Director of Public Works, is directly responsible for winter control operations. 3.2 The Manager of Public Works or designate is responsible for ensuring the winter storm response is in accordance with this Winter Control Policy. The Manager of Public Works, along with supervisory staff, will be familiar with this Policy and will conduct winter maintenance tasks to achieve and maintain safe driving and ease of traffic flow. 3.3 Public Works staff, including Labourers, Truck Drivers and Heavy Equipment Operators, will operate in a safe and efficient manner at all times. They are responsible for ensuring their vehicles and/or equipment is in a safe and mechanically ready state. Drivers and Operators will also be responsible to ensure that their route is completed in accordance with the Winter Control Policy. The Drivers and Operators will report to their immediate supervisors if there are any problems or difficulties with their equipment, both at the start of or during the storm response. SECTION 4.0 WINTER CONTROL OPERATIONS – GENERAL INFORMATION The Municipalities’ season to monitor and perform winter maintenance is between October 1st and April 30th. On average, the Town of Town of Collingwood receives over 250 centimetres of snow each winter. A major snowfall can produce an accumulation of 30 centimetres or more. The Town of Town of Collingwood currently has approximately 338 lane kilometers of road, including 25 bridges(1). All of these streets are asphalted, with the exception of a few gravel and chip sealed streets. The Town of Town of Collingwood has over 79 km of concrete sidewalks, most of which are cleared of snow. TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY
Page6
131 of 212
As the municipality continues to grow, the maintenance of streets and sidewalks is reviewed each year and adjusted, as necessary, to take into account the addition of new infrastructure. (1) A ‘Bridge’ is defined as a structure with a span of more than 3.0 metres in accordance with the Public Transportation & Highway Improvement Act. The Town’s 19 bridges consist of 9 vehicular bridges and 10 culverts with a span >3.0m. SECTION 4.1 EQUIPMENT The following is a breakdown of the vehicles used for winter operations. The number of equipment can vary due to major break down, replacements and reassignments.  6 Plow Trucks (3 equipped with sander units)  3 Contracted Plow/Sander Combination Units  1 Contracted Pickup Truck with plow  1 Motor Grader  1 Loader equipped with blade  4 Multi‐Purpose Sidewalk plows or blowers  3 Sander Trucks The Public Works Department undertakes certain steps and procedures to have the snow removal equipment ready and operators prepared for service and in place by October and includes the following: a) Assigning equipment to staff. b) Calibrating material application equipment. c) Allowing operators (staff and contract) time to familiarize themselves with any new equipment, material application rates, material application equipment and their route (driving the route and noting obstacles along the route). d) Assigning staff to monitor and record weather forecasts on a daily basis. Upon the forecast of an approaching winter event, schedule a patrol of a route of representative roads. e) Having a reasonable % of the fleet ready to respond to a winter event. f) Having sufficient staff available to operate the fleet if conditions warrant a winter event response. SECTION 4.2 HOURS OF WORK Regular Shift  Depending on the start time and duration of a winter storm event, winter control activities will generally commence at 4:00am and continue until all roads have been serviced.  It is recognized that this may be amended under abnormal weather (i.e. wet snow, icy conditions) and/or heavy snowfall conditions; whereby staff may be called in to initiate winter control operations. Alternatively, shift starting times may be adjusted at the discretion of the Manager of Public Works or designate. TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY

There is no regular shift on Saturday or Sunday. Winter control activities during the weekend are initiated by the On‐Call Supervisory staff, including the Supervisor, Lead Hand, or Manager of Public Works. Maintenance staff will be called in at the discretion of Supervisory staff. Connecting Link route has twenty‐four (24) coverage for winter control operations which is carried out under contract with a qualified contractor. Connecting Link route also has twenty‐
four (24) hour winter patrol coverage. NOTE: The Town of Town of Collingwood only allows employees to work a maximum of 13 hours during a shift unless an employee must work due to an emergency. Working hours shall be in accordance with the Highway Traffic Act (O. Reg. 555/06) Hours of Service Legislation. SECTION 4.3 VISIBILITY & DRIVER SAFETY Winter control activities may be suspended on some or all of the roads at the discretion of the Director of Public Works, or designate, when it is deemed to be unsafe for the staff and the equipment to be on the road due to weather conditions such as, but not limited to, drifting snow or freezing rain. Winter control operations may also be suspended in local areas when vehicles or other obstructions make snow plowing operations ineffective or difficult. If winter control operations are suspended, roads may be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic at the discretion of the Ontario Provincial Police. SECTION 4.4 EMERGENCY AND POLICE SERVICES Public Works staff will respond to requests for winter control from the O.P.P. and the Fire Department, as it deems appropriate and when practical to do so. In the event that roads are impassable, public works staff will maintain direct communication with emergency services. SECTION 5.0 WINTER PREPARATIONS Weather Monitoring From October 1st to April 30th, the minimum standard is to monitor the weather, both current and forecast to occur in the next 24 hours, once every shift or three times per calendar day, whichever is more frequent, at intervals determined by the Manager of Public Works or their designate. At the start of each shift the weather forecast will be documented by each patroller, with continued monitoring throughout the duration of their shift. TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY

For the purposes of this section, “Weather” is defined as air temperature, wind and precipitation. Patrolling The minimum standard for the frequency of patrolling roadways shall be in accordance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards, as amended from time to time, and set out in Table 5.1 below. TABLE 5.1 PATROLLING FREQUENCY Class of Roadway Time 2 Twice every 7 Days 3 Once every 7 days 4 Once every 14 days 5 Once every 30 days O.Reg. 239/02, s.3, Table; O.Reg. 23/10, s.3 (2) If there is a substantial probability of snow accumulation on roadways, ice formation on roadways or icy roadways, the minimum standard for patrolling highways is, in addition to that set out in the Table above, to patrol roadways that the municipality selects as representative of its roadways, at intervals deemed necessary to check for such conditions. A map of the representative roads are illustrated in Appendix ‘E’. Snow Markers Snow markers are placed by Public Works Staff in order to identify hazardous conditions or for outlining the turning radii on roads and sidewalks. Markers are typically 1”x2” wooden stakes driven into the ground with the ends spray painted orange for visibility. SECTION 6.0 SNOW PLOWING OPERATIONS – PUBLIC ROADS, LANEWAYS, CUL‐DE‐SACS & PARKING LOTS The levels of service for the Minimum Maintenance Standards vary according to the classification of the road, street or highway. The standards classify roads, streets or highways based on Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) and on the posted or statutory Speed Limit, in six (6) roadway classifications. Snow clearing equipment is deployed when snow accumulation exceeds the depths noted in Table 6.0 based on the designated road classification. TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY
Page9

For the purpose of snow clearing, the roadways within the Town of Town of Collingwood have been sub‐
divided into designated plow routes (See Appendix A ‐ Snow Plow Routes). Public Works staff will begin winter control operations in the general priority sequence set out in prescribed plow routes or as directed by the Public Works Manager, or designate, taking into account the start and expected duration of a winter storm event. Each route takes approximately eight (8) hours to complete, depending on weather, traffic, available staff & equipment and number of vehicles parked on the street. The following is the general priority for snow plowing and sanding/salting operations within designated plow routes: Roadway Priorities a) Priority 1  Arterial and Major Collector Roads (Class 2 & 3 Roadways)  Roads providing access to emergency services b) Priority 2  Collector Roads (Class 4 Roadways)  Access to Municipal Offices and Facilities c) Priority 3  Local Roads, Side Streets and cul‐de‐sacs (Class 5 Roadways) It is acknowledged that in the event of emergencies, mechanical breakdowns, accidents or other operational problems, objectives set forth may not be met.

Sidewalks are classified in accordance with the associated pedestrian traffic and proximity to high volume roadways, in addition to the ease with which they can be cleared. A map entitled Town of Town of Collingwood – Sidewalk Plow Routes is included in the appendices (Appendix B) and consists of the following classifications as shown in Table 6.1. TABLE 6.1 SIDEWALK CLASSIFICATIONS CLASS DESCRIPTION Class 1 Class 2 Sidewalks adjacent to high volume roadways with high pedestrian volumes, including School Zones and Downtown BIA areas Balance of sidewalks that can be cleared with mechanized plow and/or blower equipment. Class 2 Sidewalks consist of the majority of the Town sidewalks that can be cleared with mechanized plow equipment and are not adjacent to high volume roadways and/or have high pedestrian volumes. Sidewalk operations will begin with snow clearing on Class 1 sidewalks. As weather conditions allow, Class 2 sidewalk operations will follow, and typically will continue on a regular shift basis, until complete. Typically, during a winter storm event, sidewalk clearing operations will commence thee(3) to four(4) hours following the start of the road plowing operations. It is the objective to clear sidewalks as soon as possible after a storm has ended and normally within 24 hours from the end of the storm event. Sanding and/or salting of the sidewalks will occur along all sidewalks and to address icy/slippery conditions freezing rain events, at the discretion of supervisory staff. SECTION 6.2 MUNICIPAL‐OWNED FACILITIES AND PARKING LOTS The following parking lots are maintained by qualified contractors during the winter season. Maintenance includes snow removal and stockpiling as well as application of abrasives and de‐icing materials. 1. Town Hall 5. Fire Hall 2. Arena Parking Lot 6. Centennial Pool 3. St. Marie Parking Lot 7.Library 4. Central Park 8.Pine Street Parking Lot 9. Harbourview Parking Lot 10.Leisure time club 11.Pawplar Dog Park TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY

Snow will be stockpiled at strategic locations in the parking lots to minimize lost parking spaces. Snow removal operations from the parking lots during the day and evening are expected to be extremely inefficient, not only because of parked cars and traffic conflicts in the work areas, but also because of delays experienced traveling to and from the snow dumps. Therefore, snow removal operations will be performed at night. Travelled portions of the parking lots will be cleared in the event of heavy accumulation. Noise associated with backup alarms on snow clearing and removal equipment may be considered a nuisance to adjacent properties; however, must be installed to comply with legislative requirements of the Occupational Health & Safety Act. SECTION 6.3 SNOW CLEARING OPERATIONS – PUBLIC TRANSIT Colltrans routes have been designed where possible to maintain service along arterial and collector roads within the Town of Collingwood. Arterial and collector roads are among the Town’s initial priorities for snow clearing operations, and as such the majority of the transit routes will be cleared earlier within the scheduled plow shift. It is recognized that there are some routes that utilize local roads and will not be cleared as efficient has the collector and arterial roads, however Colltrans will maintain a regular scheduled service as snow clearing operations are underway. In the event of a major event transit operations will be suspended until a time that Public Works can provide safe access on the municipal roadways. Any notices on service disruption will be relayed through the local radio stations and through the Town’s transit operator. Snow clearing adjacent to Public Transit Stops (signs) is the responsibility of a hired qualified contractor. Transit stops situated adjacent to the roadway will simply be cleared using the snow plow as it travels past the designated location. The sidewalks adjacent to Transit stops are generally cleared following the sidewalk clearing operations. For mid‐block transit stops (where a boulevard exists), efforts will be made during the sidewalk clearing operations to remove a portion of the snow bank to facilitate access to/from the transit bus. Efforts will be made to minimize the blowing of snow from Public Works operations onto the bus benches. Transit may have to be diverted to adjacent roads to allow for winter operations to clear snow on designated transit routes. TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY

SECTION 7.0 SANDING AND/OR SALTING OPERATIONS SECTION 7.1 STOCK PILING OF WINTER SAND & SALT Sanding preparation begins with the placement of approximately 3,500 tonnes of Ministry of Transportation (MTO) specified winter sand in the storage facility at the Public Works Yard, situated at 545 Tenth Line North. The sand is mixed with approximately 5‐10% salt to maintain the workability of the winter sand mix and to improve de‐icing capabilities. This operation takes place in October in preparation for the winter season. The Winter Sand tender makes allowance for replenishment of these stockpiles, should winter conditions require. Salt is delivered regularly as required throughout the winter and is also stored at the Public Works Yard in the storage facility. Storage capacity at the Public Works Facility is approximately 4,000 tonnes. SECTION 7.2 ICE FORMATION ON ROADWAYS AND TREATING ICY ROADWAYS SAND AND/OR SALT APPLICATION The minimum standard for prevention of ice formation on roadways is doing the following in the 24‐
hour period preceding an alleged formation of ice on a roadway: (1) monitor the weather in accordance with Section 5.0 (2) patrol representative roadways in accordance with Section 5.0 (3) if it is determined that there is a substantial probability of ice forming on a roadway, as a result from the activities noted above under paragraph (1) or (2), treat the roadway to prevent ice formation within the time set out in Table 7.2 to this section, starting from the time that the supervisor or designate determines is the appropriate time to deploy resources for that purpose. “Ice” is defined as all kinds of ice, however, formed. If the municipality meets the above noted minimum standard and, despite such compliance, ice forms on a roadway, ice forms on a roadway, the roadway is deemed to be in a state of repair until the earlier of: a) the time that the municipality becomes aware of the fact that the roadway is icy; or b) the applicable time set out in Table 7.2 to treat the roadway to prevent ice formation expires; TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY
Page14
139 of 212
For the purposes of this section, treating a roadway means applying material to the roadway, including but not limited to, salt, sand or any combination of salt and sand. TABLE 7.2 ICE FORMATION PREVENTION AND ICY ROADWAYS Class of Roadway Time 2 4 hours 3 8 hours 4 12 hours 5 16 hours O. Reg. 47/13, s. 5. SECTION 7.3 APPLICATION OF SAND / SANDING The objective of sanding is to increase vehicular traction by applying sand/salt mixture either during or after the storm event. In the Town of Town of Collingwood, class 3‐5 roads are spot sanded on hills, curves and intersections only. Complete sanding on all streets is only carried out to address slippery conditions, freezing rain or general icy conditions, at the discretion of supervisory staff. Sand is also used on designated roadways as the temperatures drop below the levels of effectiveness for salt. However, when the temperatures do drop below these levels, the streets are sanded in the same manner, as they would have been salted. Most trucks have been equipped with automated sanding/salting units with spreader controls. Spreading operations should be conducted between 32 and 48 km/h. The recommended sand application rate is as follows: SAND: 570 kg per 2‐lane kilometre for single spinner 4m³; load will cover Twelve (12) 2‐lane kilometres 6m³; load will cover Nineteen (19) 2‐lane kilometers Sanding rates tend to be higher than salt because it is used as an abrasive rather than a de‐icer. Sanding impacts negatively on street cleanliness, sewer cleaning requirements and air quality. Sanding rates may also be adjusted to accommodate for different types of materials including treated salt. TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY
Page15
140 of 212
Sand spreaders are calibrated annually and adjusted as required, at the discretion of the Public Works Manager. SECTION 7.4 APPLICATION OF SALT / SALTING Generally, sufficient sand/salt will be applied as noted above and also to parking lots to provide adequate traction and will be completed by the contracted operator. It is not an objective of this policy to provide bare pavement conditions on all roads. Straight salt is applied to specified arterial roads only to achieve bare pavement. These roads include the following:  Highway 26 Connecting Link  Hurontario Street Normally, salt should never be applied when the temperature is below ‐12oC; however, in the presence of sun and heavy traffic volume, which creates higher road surface temperature, salt can sometimes be effectively applied to a temperature of ‐18oC. The recommended salt spreader application rate is as follows: SALT: 130 kg per 2‐lane kilometre for single spinner 4m³; load will cover Thirty‐five (35) 2‐lane kilometres 6m³; load will cover Fifty‐six (56) 2‐lane kilometres Salt spreaders are calibrated annually and adjusted as required, at the discretion of the Public Works Manager. SECTION 8.0 PEELING OPERATIONS Peeling will be initiated when severe rutting has formed along the hard‐packed snow surface. Rutting is defined as troughs in compacted snow and ice which make the manoeuvring of a vehicle dangerous. Ruts will usually be a minimum of 10 cm in depth before this condition warrants peeling. Peeling Operations consist of equipment that has the capability of applying a downwards force to remove the hard‐packed snow (i.e. Grader Blade, Loader Bucket). It is noted that standard snow‐plow trucks do not have the capability of applying a downward force. The blade and wing attached to standard snow plow equipment simply ride along the surface and rely on a combination of speed, blade/wing geometrics and gravity to displace the snow to the edge of the roadway. TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY
Page16
141 of 212
It is acknowledged that aesthetic damage to driveway surface may occur during the removal of the peeled hard‐pack (and/or ice chunks) between the edge of road and property line. The Town will not be responsible for any repair or reinstatement cost within the municipal road allowance. SECTION 9.0 SNOW REMOVAL & HAULING After the initial snow plowing operations are completed, snow banks could be removed, depending on conditions, from the sides of selected streets but primarily along the Downtown BIA corridor. This is accomplished by loading the snow into trucks and hauling it to specifically identified locations for disposal (snow dumps), or blowing the snow off the street and sidewalk to the adjoining area. Snow banks may be removed on streets where the following criteria are met:  Where lack of adequate storage results in a reduction in the number of available traffic lanes thereby prohibiting the reasonable movement of vehicular traffic under normal winter driving conditions  Where lack of adequate storage prohibits the reasonable movement of pedestrians using the adjacent sidewalk  Impeding access to traffic safety devices, including pedestrian push buttons Notwithstanding the above, the Town shall take advantage of mechanical blowing snow to adjacent properties to accommodate snow storage wherever possible, rather than resorting to hauling. Snow banks across private driveways and entrances resulting from plowing operations shall not be removed. Some areas may necessarily receive more frequent snow removal due to blowing or drifting snow. Snow storage sites should meet Environmental Canada Codes of Practice established by Transportation Association of Canada and adopted by Environment Canada outlined in the Salt Management Plan. SECTION 11.0 WINTER DRAINAGE Over the course of the winter season, Public Works supervisory staff monitors the weather conditions on a daily basis. When the forecast predicts consecutive days of milder temperatures (typically 2‐3 days @ >0oC), supervisory staff will proactively investigate specified ditch locations to confirm whether snow and ice removal / clean‐out is warranted. The intent of the winter drainage program is to maximize the capacity of existing ditch systems in areas that are historically subject to higher run‐off rates from melting snow TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY
Page17

and/or rain. Similarly, priority culverts and overland flow routes are inspected and cleaned‐out, as necessary. Sub‐contractors are also engaged and placed on stand‐by in the event that additional equipment is necessary to assist with winter drainage operations. SECTION 12.0 WINTER SAND REMOVAL Each spring, street sweeping equipment is deployed to collect the winter sand that was applied during the winter season. The Public Works street sweeping equipment includes the following:  1 mechanical street sweeper  1 contracted street sweeper  2 sidewalk machines equipped with front‐mounted brooms  1 water truck (dust suppression) The town‐wide winter sweeping program is typically completed by the middle of June. The sweeping schedule is developed based on three factors: 1. targeting areas of the Town where increased amounts of sand were used on the roads; 2. maintaining efficiency in the system, and 3. treating all areas as equitably as possible with service delivery Spring wet weather can impact the performance of flushing/cleaning equipment and parked cars can hamper operations and give the appearance that some areas may have been missed. Any of these factors may require operational adjustments that can impact the schedule. Street sweepings must be disposed to meet environmental guidelines. SECTION 13.0 INTERFERENCE WITH WINTER CONTROL OPERATIONS Parking situations that interfere with winter control operations may be referred to the O.P.P. and/or the By‐Law Department. When practical, a license plate number of a vehicle that is obstructing the winter control operations shall be recorded and reported to the Supervisory staff, who will forward the information to the appropriate office. When it is observed that owners or residents are pushing snow from private property onto the municipal right‐of‐way, the property address may be recorded and the resident may be advised in TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY
Page18
143 of 212
writing that they were in contravention of the Highway Traffic Act. These situations may be referred to the O.P.P. for follow up. SECTION 14.0 DAMAGE RESULTING FROM WINTER MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS Boulevard Damage Sidewalk plowing presents many challenges. It is difficult to tell exactly where the edge of the sidewalk is and when the ground is not frozen, some sod damage may occur. Residents are advised to contact the Public Works Department at (705) 445‐1351 when damage is first noticed. The homeowner’s name and address will be added to a list for repair when temperatures permit and materials are available. Damage to municipal boulevard sod will be repaired in the spring. Boulevard reinstatement will be completed using topsoil and seed only. Residents are requested to assist by watering the areas that are repaired. Where a boulevard has been impacted by ‘winter kill’, no boulevard maintenance shall be done by the Town. Abutting property owners may, at their discretion, take steps to help expedite the re‐vegetation process. Winter kill is defined as areas of grassed boulevard that have been impacted by cold weather and sand/salt from winter control operations. Private Encroachments The Town will not be responsible for damage to items on municipal property by property owners. To prevent damage to private property, residents are required not to place cars, fences, posts, hedges, shrubs, driveway curbs or other obstructions, including garbage enclosures/bins on the road allowance. Should seasonal residents maintain their private garbage enclosure within the road allowance, the enclosures must be set back a minimum of 3.0 metres from the edge of pavement (including paved shoulder) or back of concrete curb. Similarly, the Town will not be responsible for any damage to irrigation systems, including sprinkler heads that have been installed within the municipal right‐of‐way. TOWNOFCOLLINGWOOD–WINTERCONTROLPOLICY
Page19

Property owners are discouraged from placing private markers and reflectors at the end of their driveways as these may be damaged from snow plowing operations. Property owners who install markers other than wooden stakes (1”x2”) or plastic reflectors will be asked to remove these obstructions as they pose safety concerns, cause damage to equipment and interfere with maintenance operations. SECTION 15.0 INQUIRIES AND/OR COMPLAINTS Inquiries and/or complaints related to winter control operations should be addressed to: Town of Collingwood Public Works Department 545 Tenth Line North, Town of Collingwood, ON L9Y 4N4 Office: (705) 445‐1351 Fax: (705) 445‐1286 Email: tdavision@collingwood.ca Complaints that are received from individuals about winter control operations will be addressed and followed up on, as required, by appropriate staff, within the context of the Winter Control Policy.

Amending O. Reg. 239/02
(MINIMUM MAINTENANCE STANDARDS FOR MUNICIPAL HIGHWAYS)
1. Subsection 1 (1) of Ontario Regulation 239/02 is amended by adding the following definitions:
“ice” means all kinds of ice, however formed;
“snow accumulation” means the natural accumulation of any of the following that, alone or together, covers more than half a

1. Newly-fallen snow.
2. Wind-blown snow.
3. Slush;
“substantial probability” means a significant likelihood considerably in excess of 51 per cent;
“weather” means air temperature, wind and precipitation.
2. Subsection 3 (2) of the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted:
(2) If it is determined by the municipality that the weather monitoring referred to in section 3.1 indicates that there is a
substantial probability of snow accumulation on roadways, ice formation on roadways or icy roadways, the minimum
standard for patrolling highways is, in addition to that set out in subsection (1), to patrol highways that the municipality
selects as representative of its highways, at intervals deemed necessary by the municipality, to check for such conditions.
3. The Regulation is amended by adding the following section:
Weather monitoring
3.1 (1) From October 1 to April 30, the minimum standard is to monitor the weather, both current and forecast to occur in
the next 24 hours, once every shift or three times per calendar day, whichever is more frequent, at intervals determined by the
municipality.
(2) From May 1 to September 30, the minimum standard is to monitor the weather, both current and forecast to occur in
the next 24 hours, once per calendar day.
4. Section 4 of the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted:
Snow accumulation
4. (1) The minimum standard for addressing snow accumulation is,
(a) after becoming aware of the fact that the snow accumulation on a roadway is greater than the depth set out in the Table
to this section, to deploy resources as soon as practicable to address the snow accumulation; and
(b) after the snow accumulation has ended, to address the snow accumulation so as to reduce the snow to a depth less than
or equal to the depth set out in the Table within the time set out in the Table,
(i) to provide a minimum lane width of the lesser of three metres for each lane or the actual lane width, or
(ii) on a Class 4 or Class 5 highway with two lanes, to provide a total width of at least five metres.
(2) If the depth of snow accumulation on a roadway is less than or equal to the depth set out in the Table to this section,
the roadway is deemed to be in a state of repair with respect to snow accumulation.
(3) For the purposes of this section, the depth of snow accumulation on a roadway may be determined in accordance with
subsection (4) by a municipal employee, agent or contractor, whose duties or responsibilities include one or more of the
following:
155 of 212
2
1. Patrolling highways.
2. Performing highway maintenance activities.
3. Supervising staff who perform activities described in paragraph 1 or 2.
(4) The depth of snow accumulation on a roadway may be determined by,

(c) performing a visual estimate.
(5) For the purposes of this section, addressing snow accumulation on a roadway includes, but is not limited to,

MEMO
TO: Council, Town of Collingwood
DATE: November 2, 2015
FROM: Sue Bragg
RE: Consolidated Audited Financial Report for the Town of Collingwood
Here are the highlights from 2014:
Consolidated financial statements include Collingwood Public Utilities Service
Board (CPUSB or “water board”) and others controlled by the Town. See Note
1(a) on Page 6 and Note 22 on Page 20 re: change to water board.
Accumulated surplus of $192 million (Pages 2 and 3) compared to $186 million
last year, which includes $152 million invested in TCA, $31.7 million in reserves
and reserve funds, $5 million CPUSB surplus and $3.6 million portfolio
investment in Collus PowerStream. See Note 13 on Pages 14 and 15.
The following comments relate to balances as shown on the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position, Page 2:
Cash of $24.9 million compared to $15.1 million last year. $1.8 million is
restricted in use for obligatory reserve funds such as development charges and
federal gas tax monies. See Note 3 on Page 10.
Investments of $11.6 million the same as last year. All of these funds are
restricted in use for obligatory reserve funds such as development charges and
federal gas tax monies. See Note 4 on Page 10.
Taxes receivable increased $479,000 during the year. 8% of total taxes levied
were receivable at year end, up from 7% last year (other municipalities we audit
range from 6% to 12%).
Accounts receivable decreased $1.2 million during the year, due to receipts from
North Bar and grant from Province.
Long-term receivable increased by $903,000 as a result of new amounts due
from land owners on Long Point Road, Madeline Drive, Lindsay Lane and Raglan
Street. See Note 5 on Page 11.
Note receivable (see Note 6 on Page 11) and portfolio investment (see Note 1 (e)
on Page 7) regarding Collus PowerStream remained the same.
New note receivable from the Collingwood Curling Club with balance at year end
of $451,000. See Note 6 on Page 11.
Accounts payable and accruals increased $2.3 million, mainly due to construction
holdbacks and progress certificates payable on capital projects at year end.
Developer deposits increased $377,000 from last year mainly due to new deposit
from Mountain View Town Centre.
Deferred revenue has decreased $946,000 compared to last year due to
spending of Connecting Link and Municipal Infrastructure monies on Huron
Street widening and Fourth and Fifth Street bridges.
Obligatory reserve funds increased $4 million during the year. The $12.4 million
balance includes over $10.5 million for development charges (DCs) and $1.3
million in gas tax monies. The main withdrawals from DCs during the year were
165 of 212
to finance: Fourth and Fifth Street bridges and Hume Street widening. See Note
10 on Page 13
Long-term debt increased by $162,000 as a result of $3.1 million in regularly
scheduled repayments, off set by a new $3.3 million debenture to finance the
new fire hall. See Note 8 on Page 12.
Tangible capital assets (TCAs) have a net book value of over $194 million.
There was over $10 million in new additions, off set by amortization of $9.1
million. Significant capital projects included: renovations at Eddie Bush arena
and the Curling club, Fourth and Fifth Street bridges, widening Huron and Hume
Streets and sanitary sewer improvements. See Schedules 1, 2 and 3 on Pages
21 to 23.
Reserves and reserve funds, part of accumulated surplus (Note 13 on Page 14),
were $31.7 million, up from $30.3 million last year.
The following comments relate to balances as shown on the Consolidated
Statement of Operations, Page 3:
Revenue was $2 million more than last year at $49.8 million and exceeded the
budgeted amount of $48.7 million: user charges exceeded budget by $576,000.
Current expenses were $49.5 million compared to budget of $50.6 million and
$46.5 million in the prior year. Amortization expense of $9.1 million is included.
Capital revenue was $5.3 million compared to budget of $4.6 million due to
timing of revenue recognition compared to progress of capital projects. The loss
on disposal of tangible capital assets and land and buildings held for sale was
over $9 million last year, mainly due to the transfer of Poplar Sideroad.
For more information on the Statement of Operations, see Schedules 4, 5 and 6
on Pages 24 to 26.
Many thanks to the Treasury staff for their assistance during both the interim and year end
audits. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your auditors and we look forward to many
more years of association with you.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers of the Town of Collingwood:
Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Town of Collingwood, which
comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2014, and the consolidated
statements of operations, change in net debt and cash flow for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
sio
n
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements
in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
us
Auditor's Responsibility
Di
sc
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
Dr
aft
for
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Municipality's
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Municipality's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Town of Collingwood as at December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2014
Nature of operations
The Town of Collingwood ("the Municipality") is a lower-tier municipality located in the County of Simcoe,
Province of Ontario, Canada. It conducts its operations guided by the provisions of provincial statutes, such
as the Municipal Act, Municipal Affairs Act and related legislation.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
n
The consolidated financial statements of the Municipality are the representation of management prepared in
accordance with local government accounting standards established by the Public Sector Accounting Board
(PSAB) of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada.
sc
us
sio
The focus of PSAB financial statements is on the financial position of the municipality and the changes
thereto. The consolidated statement of financial position includes all the assets and liabilities of the
Municipality. Financial assets are those assets which could provide resources to discharge existing
liabilities or finance future operations. Accumulated surplus represents the financial position and is the
difference between assets and liabilities. This provides information about the Municipality's overall future
revenue requirements and its ability to finance activities and meet its obligations. Significant aspects of the
accounting policies adopted by the Municipality are as follows:
Di
(a) Basis of consolidation
for
These consolidated financial statements reflect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the
Municipality. They include the activities of all committees of Council and the following organizations
which are accountable to, and owned or controlled by the Municipality:
aft
Corporation of the Town of Collingwood Public Library Board
Corporation of the Town of Collingwood Business Improvement Area
Collingwood Airport Services Board
Collingwood Public Utilities Service Board (Note 22)
Dr
Excluded are Funds Held in Trust which are administered by the Municipality and reported on
separately. All interfund assets and liabilities and sources of financing and expenses have been
eliminated.
(b) Basis of accounting
Sources of revenues and expenses are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of
accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable. Expenses are recognized as
they are incurred and measurable as a result of receipt of goods or services and the creation of a legal
obligation to pay.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and short-term highly liquid financial instruments
with a maturity of three months or less at acquisition.
(d) Investments
Investments include guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) with a maturity greater than three months
at acquisition. Investments are recorded at cost.
174 of 212

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(e) Portfolio investment
The portfolio investment is the 50% equity investment in Collingwood PowerStream Utility Services
Corp., which is not controlled by the Municipality. The investment was initially recorded using the cost
method. The Municipality will only record any distributed income of the investee (dividends) when they
are received or receivable. In the event there is a loss in value of a portfolio investment in the future,
other than a temporary decline, it will be recognized in the period.
(f) Non-financial assets
sio
n
Non-financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the provision
of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are not intended for sale in the
ordinary course of operations. The change in non-financial assets during the year, together with the
annual (deficit) surplus, provides the consolidated change in net debt for the year.
us
(i) Tangible capital assets
- 10 to 20 years
- 15 to 50 years
- 3 to 40 years
- 5 to 15 years
- 10 to 75 years
for
Land improvements
Buildings
Machinery and equipment
Vehicles
Linear assets
Di
sc
Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost, which includes all amounts that are directly attributable to
acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. The cost, less residual value, of the
tangible capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
aft
Work in progress is not amortized until the asset is available for productive use.
One half of the annual amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and in the year of disposal.
Dr
(ii) Contributed tangible capital assets
Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt
and also are recorded as revenue.
(g) Deferred revenue
Revenue restricted by legislation, regulation, or agreement and not available for general municipal
purposes is reported as deferred revenue on the statement of financial position. The revenue is reported
on the consolidated statement of operations in the year in which it is used for the specified purpose.
(h) County and school boards
The Municipality collects taxation revenue on behalf of the school boards and the County of Simcoe.
The taxation, other revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations of the school
boards and the County of Simcoe are not reflected in these consolidated financial statements.
175 of 212
7
(i) Revenue recognition
Fees for water and waste water usage are recognized as user charges when consumed by the customer.
Connection fee revenues are recognized when the connection has been established.
sio
n
Government transfers are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as revenues in the period in
which the events giving rise to the transfer occur, providing the transfers are authorized, any eligibility
criteria have been met and reasonable estimates of the amounts can be made. Conditional government
grants are recognized to the extent the conditions imposed on them have been fulfilled. Unconditional
government grants are recognized when monies are receivable. Government grants for acquisition of
tangible capital assets are recognized in the period in which eligible expenditures are made. Transfers
are recognized as deferred revenue when transfer stipulations give rise to a liability. Transfer revenue is
recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as the stipulation liabilities are settled.
sc
us
Investment revenue (other than on obligatory funds) is recognized in the period earned. Investment
revenue earned on obligatory reserve funds is added to the fund balance and forms part of the respective
deferred revenue balances and is recognized in the period in which eligible expenditures are made.
Di
Other user charges, payments from other municipalities, gain on disposal of tangible capital assets and
other revenue are recognized on an accrual basis.
(j) Use of estimates
Dr
(k) Segment disclosures
aft
for
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant estimates
exist in tangible capital assets with regard to historical costs and useful lives. Other significant estimates
include amortization and employee future benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Municipal services have been segmented by grouping activities that have similar service objectives (by
function). Revenues that are directly related to the costs of the function have been attributed to each
segment. Municipal taxation revenue is allocated based on the percentage of total budgeted expenses.
176 of 212

(l) Pension plan
The Municipality offers a pension plan for its full-time employees through the Ontario Municipal
Employee Retirement System ("OMERS"). OMERS is a multi-employer, contributory, public sector
pension fund established for employees of municipalities, local boards and school boards in Ontario.
Participating employers and employees are required to make plan contributions based on participating
employees' contributory earnings. The Municipality accounts for its participation in OMERS as a
defined benefit plan and recognizes the expense related to this plan as contributions are made.
n
(m) Other post-employment benefits
us
sio
Employee future benefits other than pension provided by the Municipality include medical, dental and
life insurance benefits. These plans provide benefits to employees when they are no longer providing
active service. Employee future benefit expense is recognized in the period in which the employees
render services on an accrual basis.
(n) Taxation and related revenues
for
Di
sc
The accrued benefit obligations and the current service costs are calculated using the projected benefit
method, prorated on service, and based on assumptions that reflect management’s best estimates. The
current service cost for a period is equal to the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to employees’
services rendered in the period. Past service costs arising from plan amendments are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees active at the date of
amendment. The excess of the net actuarial gains or losses over 10% of the accrued benefit obligation is
amortized to expense over the average remaining service period of active employees to full eligibility.
Dr
aft
Municipal tax billings are prepared by the Municipality based on assessment rolls issued by the
Municipal Property Assessment Corporation. Tax rates are established annually by the Municipal
Council, incorporating amounts to be raised for local services. A normal part of the assessment process
is the issue of supplementary assessment rolls, which provide updated information with respect to
changes in property assessment. Once a supplementary assessment roll is received, the Municipality
determines the taxes applicable and renders supplementary tax billings. Taxation revenues are recorded
at the time tax billings are issued.
Assessments and the related property taxes are subject to appeal. Taxes are recorded at estimated
amounts when they meet the definition of an asset, have been authorized and the taxable event occurs.
For municipal taxes, the taxable event is the period for which the tax is levied. Taxes receivable are
recognized net of allowance for anticipated uncollectible amounts.
The Municipality is entitled to collect interest and penalties on overdue taxes. These revenues are
recorded in the period the interest and penalties are levied.

Comparative CPUSB figures have been restated to correct revenue relating to the south-end servicing special
charges that should have been recorded in the year the construction occurred. This has resulted in an
increase to 2013 CPUSB opening accumulated surplus of $1,103,609, a decrease in CPUSB miscellaneous
revenue of $81,661 and a decrease in CPUSB accounts payable to the Town of Collingwood of $1,021,948.
These entries are eliminated on consolidation and as a result have no effect on the Town of Collingwood's
balances.

Where an estimate of fair value could not be made, the tangible capital asset was recognized at a
nominal value. Land is the only category where nominal values were assigned.
(d) Works of art and historical treasures
The Library Board owns two special book collections. Due to their historical or valuable nature, they
are not included in the Library's regular collection for circulation to the public. As such, these
collections are also not included in tangible capital assets.
(e) Schedule 2 and 3
Due to transfers between departments in 2014, opening balances on Schedule 2 may not agree to
closing balances on Schedule 3.

15. Employee future benefits
(a) Pension agreement
sc
us
sio
n
The employees of the Corporation of the Town of Collingwood participate in the Ontario Municipal
Employees Retirement Savings Plan ("OMERS"). Although the plan has a defined retirement benefit
for employees, the related obligation of the Municipality cannot be identified. The Municipality has
applied defined contribution plan accounting as it has insufficient information to apply defined benefit
plan accounting. The OMERS plan has several unrelated participating municipalities and costs are not
specifically attributed to each participant. Amounts paid to OMERS during the year totaled $1,217,820
(2013 -$1,128,485).
OMERS is a multi-employer plan, therefore any pension plan surpluses or deficits are a joint
responsibility of Ontario municipal organizations and their employees. The most recent actuarial
valuation of the Plan was conducted at December 31, 2014. The results of this valuation disclosed total
actuarial liabilities of $77.2 (2013- $73.2) billion in respect of benefits accrued for service with actuarial
assets at that date of $70.2 (2013 - $64.4) billion, indicating an actuarial deficit of $7.0 (2013 - $8.8)
billion.
(b) Workplace safety and insurance
aft
(c) Post-retirement benefits
for
Di
In common with other Schedule 2 employers, the Municipality funds its obligations to the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Board ("WSIB") on a "pay-as-you-go" basis. December 31, 2004 was the first
period for which a WSIB accrued benefit was required to be reported. At December 31, 2014, the
Municipality's accrued benefit liability related to future payments on WSIB is based on the 2004 WSIB
calculation. The amount of the accrual is $NIL for both 2014 and 2013. No independent actuarial
valuation is considered necessary.
Dr
The Town of Collingwood pays certain post-retirement benefits on behalf of its retired employees for
extended health and dental benefits. The Municipality recognizes these post-retirement costs in the
period in which the employees rendered the services. The accrued benefit obligation at December 31,
2014 is based on actuarial reports dated March 28, 2013 for the Municipality's employees and a separate
report with the same date for the Collingwood Public Utilities Service Board employees. Actuarial
valuations will be prepared every third year or when there are significant changes to the workforce. The
current year expense is included in departmental expenses on a basis proportionate to the wages of the
department.

The main actuarial assumptions employed for the valuations were as follows:
Dr
(i) General inflation
Future general inflation levels, as measured by changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), were
assumed at 2.0% in 2012 and thereafter.
(ii) Interest (discount) rate
The obligation as at December 31, 2014, of the present value of future liabilities and the expense
was determined using an annual discount rate of 4.0% (2013 - 4.0%).
(iii) Health care costs
Health care costs are to increase 6.94% in 2014 graded down 0.53% a year until 2017 after which the
rate is assumed to increase 4.8% annually.
(iv) Dental costs
Dental costs were assumed to increase at 4.80% in 2012 and thereafter.

The operating budget approved by Council for 2014 is reflected on the consolidated statement of operations.
The budgets established for investment in tangible capital assets are on a project oriented basis, the costs of
which may be carried out over one or more years and, therefore, may not be comparable with the current
year’s actual expenditure amounts. Budget figures have been reclassified for the purposes of these financial
statements to comply with PSAB reporting requirements. The budget figures have not been audited.

Subject:
Updating Motorized Snow Vehicles Bylaw
PURPOSE
• The purpose of this report is to present changes to Bylaw 2008-164 being a Bylaw to
govern the use of motorized snow vehicles within the Town of Collingwood.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council receive Staff Report PRC2015-29 Updating Motorized Snow Vehicles Bylaw.
AND THAT Council enact and pass a by-law to amend By-law No. 2008-164, being a by-law
to regulate and govern the use of motorized snow vehicles within the Town of Collingwood, to
prescribe the rate of speed a snow vehicle may travel while using municipal trails not
designated as official OFSC trails to a maximum 20 km/hr, and to amend Schedule B to
reflect changes to the permitted municipal trail locations described herein.
1. BACKGROUND
The Town of Collingwood works collaboratively with the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile
Clubs (OFSC) to provide snow vehicle opportunities in our region. The OFSC route 703 and
704 travels through Collingwood by the Train trail at Poplar Side road and High Street through
to the Black Ash trail.
Where snow vehicles are permitted to travel on a municipal trail that is not designated as an
official OFSC trail, the locations must be specified in a bylaw.
Where snow vehicles are not permitted to travel on a municipal road, highway or sidewalk these
locations must also be specified in a bylaw.
The speed at which snow vehicles are allowed to travel is governed by the Motorized Snow
Vehicle Act, R.S.O. 1990, cM44 but this is only applicable to roads regulated by the Highway
-1-

Traffic Act. To regulate the speed of snow vehicles on municipal trails that are not a designated
OFSC trail, they must be specified in a bylaw.

Two major changes to Schedule B will greatly improve the safety for the snow vehicles and road
vehicles:
(1) The Train Trail at Poplar Sideroad: instead of traveling west along the road surface and
over the narrow road bridge the snow vehicles can now travel north across Poplar
Sideroad, along the Train Trail, over the Pretty River train bridge and follow the trail into
Clearview. (photo 6 in Appendix B)This avoids having the snow vehicles share the
road with cars and trucks over the narrow road bridge.
(2) Harbourview Trail: instead of traveling the north side of the Black Ash Trail to Balsam
Street and then travel on the narrow sidewalk of the Black Ash road bridge, the snow
vehicles may now cross the Black Ash Creek using the Georgian Trail Bridge behind
the Canadian Tire store. (photo 5 in Appendix B). The Georgian Trail Board of
Management has approved this use.
Reviewing snow vehicle speed on municipal roads and trails:
The Motorized Snow Vehicle Act, R.S.O. 1990, cM44 sets the speed limit for snow vehicles
traveling on roads, highways and official OFSC trails:
Speed limit
14. (1) No person shall drive a motorized snow vehicle at a greater rate of speed than,
(a) 20 kilometres per hour,
(i) on a highway where the speed limit established pursuant to the Highway Traffic
Act is 50 kilometres per hour or less, or
(ii) in any public park or exhibition grounds; or
(b) 50 kilometres per hour,
(i) on any highway which is open to motor vehicle traffic, where the speed limit
established pursuant to the Highway Traffic Act is greater than 50 kilometres per
hour, or
(ii) on a trail. R.S.O. 1990, c. M.44, s. 14 (1).
Municipality may prescribe different rate of speed
(2) The council of a municipality may by by-law prescribe,
(a) a lower rate of speed for motorized snow vehicles upon any highway or part thereof
under its jurisdiction; and
(b) a higher or lower rate of speed for motorized snow vehicles upon a trail, public park or
exhibition ground under its jurisdiction,
-3-

than is prescribed in subsection (1). R.S.O. 1990, c. M.44, s. 14 (2).
For roads posted less than and equal to 50 km/hr the speed limit for snow vehicles is 20 km/hr.
For roads posted greater than 50 km/hr the speed limit for snow vehicles is 50 km/hr.
Staff recommend the speed for snow vehicles on municipal trails be a maximum 20 km/hr where
these trails are not a part of the OFSC 703 and 704 trail network. The Town will work with the
OFSC to determine best locations for signage.
