Mayor Quirk adopts “gracious professionalism” as tone for new council Members of the new 2019-2022 Georgina council were sworn in at the Link on Wednesday, December 5 and after signing an oath and receiving her new chain of office, Mayor Margaret Quirk welcomed all members and urged them to get ready for a busy term. “Gentlemen, we have a lot of hard work ahead of us,” she told them as she rhymed off a list of capital projects that will need direction. “And, I learned a new phrase that I plan on using—gracious professionalism—what a wonderful phrase.” As each member of council was sworn in they gave the audience a sneak peek of what to expect over the next four years. Returning to council in a new role as Re-gional Councillor and Deputy Mayor, Rob Grossi said, “My job as your Regional Councillor and Deputy Mayor will be to work with my colleagues to make sure that our environment gets the protection it de-serves and to make sure that at the end of the day, our wants and our needs take into consideration what we can afford.” Mike Waddington, the newly elected Ward 1 Councillor, said he was excited to be part of a team that will make Georgina the best it can be. To Ward 1 residents he said, “I listened to you during the election and I will continue to listen to you going for-ward.” Ward 2 Councillor Dan Fellini told the

audience how honoured he was at be-ing acclaimed. “It is awesome to think that the constituents of Ward 2 had faith and confidence in me to do the job that they’ve asked me to do.” Dave Neeson, the acclaimed council-lor for Ward 3, said he was committed to strong, ethical and principled lead-ership. “It is very difficult and it requires hard work—sometimes compromise and personal sacrifice—to make good in-formed evidence based decisions,” he said, “but that is what I am going to commit to on your behalf.” Back for a second term after winning the Ward 4 contest, Frank Sebo said, “We all want a community that is vi-brant, healthy and financially sustain-able. I pledge to continue to support and endeavour to support those val-ues.” Also coming back for a second term as an acclaimed councillor is Dave Hard-ing for Ward 5. He said he was de-lighted to come back to council and to work with his new colleagues on is-sues for the betterment of Georgina. He said they may not always agree but can discuss the issues with respect. With very little time to celebrate, the new council will get down to business quickly when they are served with the 2019 draft budget on December 12.

Wrapping up the old for the new Well, here we are—on the eve of a brand new year. With this being the last issue this year of the Georgina Post (we don’t publish on December 24), let’s consider the tone with which we are leaving 2018. Certainly the news that GM will be closing the Oshawa plant is troubling. I expect the first, second and third tier sup-pliers in the automotive sector must be cringing and I don't know where else they will go to make up the losses. And the ripple effect beyond the auto-motive industry will be felt by almost everyone. Will GM re-tool the lines to increase production of electric and automated vehicles in Os-hawa?...a possibility I suppose but who knows. As depressing as this news is, it does appear the writing had been on the walls of the Os-hawa plant for some time, but that doesn’t make the pill any easier to swallow. On December 2, 2014 the Globe and Mail reported the predictions of Joe McCabe, the president of Autoforecast Solu-tions LLC. He was quoted as saying, "By 2019, we have Oshawa completely shut down.” He also noted in that article that each of the vehicle types made at the Canadian plants is scheduled to be made at another GM assembly plant in North America or has al-ready been earmarked for transfer. It is a heck of a way for GM employees and their families to end the year. In government circles, we have a new provincial party holding the reins at Queen’s Park. And, at the federal level we are awaiting the nod from the Prime Minister to call a by-election for our York Simcoe riding to replace a seat left vacant when Peter Van Loan retired in September. I know that Scot Davidson will be rep-resenting the Conservatives and Shaun Tanaka has an-

nounced that she will again run for the Liberal Party of Can-ada. The New Democratic Party’s York Simcoe nomina-tion meeting was held on De-cember 6 and Jessa McLean was acclaimed so voters will see her name on the ticket as well. Rumour has it the by-election will be in February and then it will be back to polls again in 2019 for the general federal election. (How election weary are we?!) Our new municipal council was sworn in at a gala event at the Link on December 5 and I want to welcome and congratu-late both the new and returning members. As Mayor Quirk said at the inaugural swearing in ceremony, “there is a lot of work to do” and I urge Geor-gina residents to stay informed and get engaged. I suspect it will be a very exciting term. On that note, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season. My best wishes go with you as you celebrate a safe, happy and healthy New Year. I’ll be back on January 10. Cheers, Karen Wolfe, Editor.

Letters to the Editor

Letter to the Editor, Your November 24th edition contained an unsigned Letter to the Editor that has since been confirmed on your online ver-sion as having come from an ill-informed person by the name of Jessa McLean. Ms. McLean, who seems to be unaware of the solemnity of Remembrance Day, was criti-cal of two well known and respected citizens of Georgina that were asked to carry out an act of respect for our war dead by placing wreaths. It has come to light since her letter was published, that Ms. McLean seeks to be the NDP candidate in the upcoming by-election. Is it possible she wanted to use Remembrance Day as an opportunity to launch her political campaign? To be clear, I was asked by the riding association to place the wreath but was unable to do so. I understand that Suzanne Howes, a First Nations mem-ber of the Chippewas of Geor-gina Island, was available in Sutton and for that, all respect-ful citizens can be grateful. It is an honour for anyone to be asked regardless of political stripe. Donna Big Canoe, Chief of the Chippewas of Georgina, re-quested that Scot Davidson place a wreath during a cere-mony on Georgina Island, which he did. Ms. McLean also neglected to include this information in her criticism.

So what can be accomplished by Ms. McLean other than a disgraceful attempt to make political hay. What shame she brings on herself and her politi-cal party. It seems to me that the launch of her career in politics is ill-conceived, misinformed and utterly disrespectful. Ms. McLean owes a public apology to all veterans and their families, men and women in service, Chief Big Canoe, Scot Davidson and Suzanne Howes. Respectfully yours, W.R. Trainor Georgina, ON. (Editor’s Note: I regret that Ms. McLean’s name “fell off” the page when I was editing my editorial for the November 24 issue. I apologize for any misunderstanding and incon-venience this may have caused and it was corrected for the on-line version of that issue. KW—Editor.) Hi Karen, Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading Lynne Bar-rett’s account of the Mossing-ton Park area in the past. I had no idea. What a lovely picture she paints. A great vision for what could be again. Thank you for sharing with your read-ers. Best, Sally Krigstin

As part of a $495,000 study to design a new community park in Sut-ton and redesign the existing West Park fa-cility, consultants hosted two separate open house events re-cently to engage the community in identify-ing the most desired park amenities. It is anticipated the five acre Sutton Community Park will cost $1.5 million and, based on consultant appraisals, the West Park redevelopment will cost taxpayers between $7 and $8 million. The Open House for the Sutton park was held on November 21 and core amenities included shade features, junior and senior play areas, splash and water play features and multi-use courts. It will be located north of Baseline Rd. and west of Dalton Road.

The West Park redevelopment Open House on November 28 provided materials featuring core amenities such as a field house with change rooms, tournament level ball diamonds, multi-use play courts, playgrounds and a new 200-car parking lot. Future public engagement op-portunities are expected prior to council receiving the final design reports.

Maple Lake Estates land swap back on the table 5

According to Harold Lenters, Director of Development Services for the Town of Georgina, the idea of a land swap to pro-tect the sensitive wetlands associated with the Maple Lake Estates subdivision in Is-land Grove is back on the table at Queen’s Park. Mr. Lenters said the results of a recent meeting with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs staff, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and Town staff suggests “they were willing to listen and discuss the idea further.” The idea of a land swap, which was floated a number of years ago, would transfer the development rights from the DG Group’s Maple Lake Estates property to DG Group owned lands along Deer Park in north Kes-wick. These lands are held within the Greenbelt system which previous govern-ments resisted in releasing for the develop-ment rights swap. However, now that a new government is in place at Queen’s Park, both the LSRCA and the Town are eager to see the land swap option materialize which could bring the Maple Lake Estates property into pub-lic hands. “They made no commitment but certainly

they didn’t say ‘no’ at that meeting,” Mr. Lenters said. The North Gwillimbury Forest Alliance led by Jack Gibbons was quick, after learn-ing of the meeting, to come out and con-demn the land swap option—an idea it has never supported. According to Mr. Gibbons the develop-

ment rights granted by the province to al-low a 1,073 unit subdivision on Maple Lake Estates lands should be transferred to build more homes on developer-owned lands in south Keswick. Mr. Gibbons said the province should ful-fill its election promise not to re-open the Greenbelt.

After the DG Group was seen conducting clearing operations on the highly contro-versial Maple Lake Estates property near Island Grove, council issued a “stop work order” on November 9 to prevent further clearing without the appropriate permits. Through their lawyer, the DG Group pro-vided the Town of Georgina with an under-taking stating “our clients agree not to cut any trees on site without providing your firm with 15 (fifteen) days written notice.” Jack Gibbons, founder of the North Gwil-limbury Forest Alliance, contacted the Town on November 13 and recommended the Town prosecute the DG Group for its by-law violations to the fullest extent of the law and upon conviction, seek an order that the DG Group rehabilitate the lands that it had harmed.

In a special closed meeting of council held on November 26 2018, it was agreed that the undertaking provided by counsel for the DG Group was “satisfactory” and the Town’s solicitor was further instructed to move forward with legal action and seek a court imposed injunction should the DG Group violate the undertaking. The DG Group’s solicitor response also went on to state that the 15 days was more than sufficient notice to enable the Town to bring an injunction if it was deemed neces-sary. “If the town insists on proceeding with an emergency injunction motion despite this more than reasonable undertaking, we will rely on this correspondence in court and seek our costs for having to prepare and attend,” the response reads.

It is with deep sad-ness that we send our sin-cere con-dolences out to the family and friends of Marga-ret Luella Christian who passed away at her home in Pefferlaw with family by her side, on Wednesday, Novem-ber 28, 2018 at the age of 89 years. Marg Christian (nee Smith), beloved wife of the late Milton. Dear mother of Frank and his wife Sharon of Pefferlaw. Loving Gramma of Janice (Andrew Domenchuk) of Keswick and Jill (Jason Coburn) of Cannington and great gramma of Ryhann and Christian. Fondly remem-bered by her many friends. A family service was held at the graveside in Queensville Cemetery.

I received an email the other day from Steve Greenhalgh with photos attached of two bald eagles he witnessed out on the lake at Holmes Point Park. Unfortunately the pho-tos were not of sufficient quality to reproduce here, but in Mr. Greenhalgh’s email he remarked, “What a sight to see.” In keeping with the topic of bird sightings, various groups will be conducting their An-nual Christmas Bird Count activities in Georgina.

Giving back to the community is only one of the many reasons Helen and her hus‐band Henk volunteer as Routes Connect‐ing Communities drivers. They have been driving with Routes for a number of years, with Henk himself banking 15 years as a Routes volunteer driver and Helen with 14 years. Back when they started volunteering, they were both driving almost every day. Their day began at 9a.m. or earlier, de‐pending on the destinations they had to go to that day, and went until at least 5:30p.m. or later. As a Routes volunteer driver, you get to set your schedule ‐ Henk and Helen decided to drive every‐day. “A lot of our drives are for medical ap‐pointments, grocery shopping, taking people to the Ontario Addiction Treat‐ment Centre, mental health appoint‐ments, or taking people to and from group homes to programs that are run down in Aurora,” explains Helen. Having the ability to help others is what motivates both Henk and Helen to drive when they can and, for both of them, it helps them appreciate their life and the 

people around them. “I very much appreciate driving people to dialysis,” says Henk. “I realize that it’s so much better to be a driver than to be a rider who has to be in the health centre for four hours on the machine three times a week. It makes me appreciate that I can get around and be able to help.” For Helen, she likes that she can take a load off of family members of clients who need rides. “I was driving an 88‐year‐old for a while who was just a lady that needed a ride and a friendly ear,” says Helen. “Being able to do that, it gives the family of people a sense that their loved ones are being taken care of if they aren’t able to. People don’t have to worry about their parents because they have Routes.” Henk and Helen like to encourage others to volunteer for Routes because they say that the appreciation they get from riders is something they think is important to share. Routes currently operates in rural York Region communities, and for most Routes client, getting a Routes ride is an accessible and affordable way to get to where they need to be. “It doesn’t matter which people you are 

driving, they are very appreciative of the time we donate to get them where they have to go,” says Helen. “One of my fa‐vorite clients is a lovely couple. They are always, always sitting outside waiting for me to pull up. I never have to wait for them. They are just so appreciative of the rides. They both unfortunately have health problems and it’s been difficult for them. They are needing Routes’ services more and more.” Routes needs more volunteers like Henk and Helen. Although still being very active volunteers after 15 years of volunteering, Henk and Helen look forward to passing the torch to new volunteers.  “If you don’t know what to do, and you have time on your hands, you don’t just have to be at home on your computer and watching TV,” says Henk. “You can go out and do something for your community!” Whether you are available to volunteer once a week or every day like Henk and Helen, Routes is happy to welcome all types of volunteers to the team. If you volunteer your time and lend a friendly smile, Routes will cover your mileage ex‐pense.

NOW IN STOCK!

With no less than 333 kilome-tres of roads and 140 kilome-tres of sidewalks to be cleared every winter, the Town’s 16 full-time road maintenance crew and three occasional sup-port workers are all set for a 24/7 winter work detail. However, they are well sup-ported by material and equip-ment. Ten town-owned ploughs and three contract ploughs will plough and distribute approxi-mately 6,000 tonnes of salt and sand mix on town roads over the season. According to John Armstrong, the acting Director in charge of operations and infrastructure, the Town has switched its tra-ditional 90 per cent sand and 10 per salt mix to a 70 per cent sand and 30 per cent salt (Thawroc) mix saving thou-sands of dollars in operating costs. Mr. Armstrong described Thawroc as de-icer which is an encapsulated sodium chloride product with greater “sticking” power to roadways and elimi-nates the “bounce” effect of salt granules. As a result of the new formula, the Town has reduced its con-sumption of material by more than half (from 15,000 tonnes

to 6,000 tonnes) and crews can now plough every kilometre of road within 16 hours of a snowfall. Mr. Armstrong said much of the savings is in the distribution of the material since trucks don’t have to return to the yard two or three times for addi-tional material to complete their run. “Now they can go out with one load, they can do their whole route with one load and still come back with material on the truck,” he said. The pride of the snow plough fleet is a new $300,000 truck featuring extra load capacity and three blades—front, wing and a under-body. Georgina was one of the first municipali-ties to use the under-body blade which is designed to scrape even more ice and snow from the road surface. The truck is also equipped with computer controlled measuring devices for material distribu-tion and its automated features mean one operator can manage the entire operation of the plough. The Town has two road main-tenance yards, one in Egypt and one in Belhaven, which support the Town’s $1.52 million win-ter maintenance budget.

Dennis King (Roads Supervisor), Scott Edwards (Road Super-intendent), and Luke Fawns (Acting Supervisor) pose in front of the Town’s latest addition of ploughing equipment which sports an under-body blade for a cleaner sweep.
