EMC News – Old Town Kemptville celebrated Halloween a few days early on Oct. 27 during the inaugural Kreepy Kemptville event hosted by the Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area (BIA). Businesses from throughout the area welcomed trick or treaters and some offered colouring, bracelet making and other activities for children. Left, Lauren Greeley and her mom Lisa made a very spooky pair. Later in the evening, the BIA, in conjunction with the North Grenville Historical Society, took visitors on a Ghost Walk in town.

United Counties ready to put sustainability plan into action By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – North Grenville council saw firsthand how the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville’s (UCLG) integrated community sustainability plan (ICSP) will affect it on Oct. 22. Dillon Consulting’s Rory Baksh, who was charged with creating the ICSP, visited council at its Oct. 22 meeting to unveil the plan and seek council’s endorsement of its individual action plan included in the ICSP. However, council has deferred its decision until elected officials can take a closer look at the document. He said the process to undertake an ICSP began back in November 2011 during the UCLG economic development summit at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. “We kicked off our first major round of public consultations in late winter 2011 looking for our vision for the future, vision for sustainability and principles for sustainability,” he stated. Because of that consultation process, Baksh said this ICSP “has a vision and set of principles unlike no other around the world in terms of sustainability planning.” “It is yours and yours alone,” he added. This past summer, comments from the public were sought in terms of action planning and the fall was spent putting the plan

together. “I do know that our citizens are an excellent source of ideas, wealth and knowledge, but staff have a much better grasp on what’s realistic and doable,” Baksh admitted and said the initial draft of the plan was circulated to UCLG member municipalities’ and staff “to ensure it aligns to local municipalities’ goals and visions.” The ICSP advisory group, made up of counties councillors and staff have viewed the document and the ICSP community liaison team has also given the document its support. Now, Baksh is approaching each member municipality’s council to encourage them to endorse the ICSP, which contains an individual action plan for each municipality that is unique to them. that action plan includes a set of five priorities for North Grenville: 1) sustainable building design and local sustainability champions and organizations (develop sustainable guidelines from 2013 to 2015, a recognition program for sustainable buildings from 2016 to 2023 and a plan to retrofit municipal buildings for upgrades between 2020 to 2023); 2) diverse employment opportunities and small businesses in the creative economy (includes undertaking a tourism strategy in 2013); 3) local sustainability champions and organizations (host community fair to bring together agencies and groups in 2015). The other two priorities in-

volve local food production, consumption and/or export (establish local food procurement policy in 2013, a regional food systems strategy from 2015 to 2018 and work with the Kemptville Kinsmen Farmers’ Market to make it available all four seasons from 2020 to 2023); and cycling, trails and paths (implement trails strategy and update Official Plan to incorporate trails strategy polices from 2014 to 2016). Baksh said the action plan has a “nice balance” and includes timeframes for the completion of priorities in order to map the progress of municipalities. He noted the Federation of Canadian Municipalities will be seeking updates on the ICSP and the UCLG has an obligation to oblige them. “(With the action plan) you are continuing to do important things that contribute to your community’s identity, sense of place and sense of structure,” he explained. “The expectation is that this sets you up to do more to promote sustainability.” “…It’s realistic and reasonable and not a burden to this municipality or other municipalities who have plans in the ICSP,” Baksh continued. Once the member municipalities endorse their action plans, those plans, the vision, principles and six recommendations in the overall ICSP will go to counties council for final approval. “Then I’m hoping to be back

here on Nov. 30 at the economic development summit to talk about the fabulous collaboration that has been achieved through this plan,” Baksh said, noting that UCLG economic development manager Ann Weir has been instrumental in the process. “It (ICSP) would not have been a success without her day in, day out support. She did an amazing job at keeping things moving and is a fabulous person to work with.” He also thanked local resident and business owner Tom Graham for his commitment by serving on the community liaison team as North Grenville’s representative. Following Baksh’s presentation, councillor Barb Tobin wondered what kinds of “checks and balances” the municipality would have to put in place to ensure these goals

Santa Claus Parade Nov. 17 EMC News – It’s hard to believe it, but in just a few short weeks Santa Claus will be making his annual stop in Kemptville for the Kinsmen Santa Claus Parade Saturday, Nov. 17. The parade will take place at 1 p.m. and the theme this year is Christmas in the Country. While logistics are still being ironed out, it is expected

were met. Chief administrative officer (CAO) Brian Carré said he would be coming before council prior to Nov. 30 with an administrative report and important dates to consider. “From there, we will put those dates into a status report that we will review on a monthly basis…from an administrative basis, once council makes the final decision on priorities as recommended here, we will work to include them in the regular administrative process,” he answered. Carré suggested council defer their approval of the plan on Oct. 22, to which they unanimously agreed. “I think there’s a great opportunity here for staff to have a review of the proposed final draft and come back to you with the detailed administrative report at an upcoming Committee of the Whole,” he stated.

the parade will leave from Holy Cross Church, down Clothier St., turn right on Prescott St. and end at University of Guelph-Kemptville Campus. Those interested in entering are asked to register by no later than 5 p.m. on Nov. 14. To register, download a form at www.northgrenvillechamber.com or pick them up at the four major banks in town.
