The County of Simcoe was the first jurisdiction in Ontario to enter into the ‘Agreement Forest’ program in 1922 and has invested in tree planting, management practices and property acquisitions to become Ontario’s largest municipally-owned forest, now spanning more than 33,000 acres across more than 150 properties.
He tabled an amendment to initiate discussions to also advocate for access to all county roads within the township. There wasn’t enough support for the amendment so it failed.
A donation to the local Food Bank is encouraged.
The current ATV bylaw restricts off road vehicles in the areas of Creemore and Dunedin. Lamers brought the conversation back to the council table on Sept. 12.
Councillor John Broderick, who has been a proponent for off road vehicle access, said he wants to open access in the restricted areas because he is concerned about “othering,” which he said is a form of discrimination.
“Ever since we moved this in 2020 I have had numerous complaints from locals and people in the area and they were all upset about being segregated from Clearview Township, not being able to ride their ATVs so this council and the next council will have to work hard with the OPP to better patrol the areas as we move forward to open up Creemore along with the rest of Clearview Township,” said Lamers.
“I think generally the feeling throughout the township is that the bylaw is working It was a fair assessment of what access was to be given and there really isn’t any changes or any indication from those users, that we know of, that would require a review,” said Paterson. “I am trying to understand the motivation.”
“We’re inviting people into Creemore and out of Creemore to get gas, shopping, visit the local stores in town. All it’s going to do is increase the popularity of Creemore to tourist people,” said Lamers.
Councillor Robert Walker said he has not heard from any residents asking for change. He also couldn’t get enough support for his motion to defer the bylaw amendment until May so that the newly elected council could consider
“Whenit.we
by Trina Berlo
decided on this bylaw we had a very long, painful discussion with residents, with staff and a very strong
debate at this council table to come up with what we have now,” said Walker.
Deputy Mayor Barry Burton called Lamers’ motion flawed and said it was inappropriate to bring it forward this close to an election even though it is within his rights to do so.
At the end of the discussion, the motion tabled by Paterson and seconded by Lamers passed. It directs staff to initiate a public engagement with regard to proposed permitting options and bring back a report recommending the required amendments to bylaw 20-71, including a special exemption permitting options for those residents residing in Creemore and Dunedin requiring direct access to the designated approved OFATV trails with a report due back to council in May 2023.
In commemoration of National Forest Week in Canada, Sept. 18-24, residents and visitors are invited to Celebrate our Roots: 100 Years of the Simcoe County Forest. The free community event takes place at the Simcoe County Museum on Sept. 24 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Other council members questioned why Lamers would bring forward a proposed amendment having heard no complaints themselves.

“There seems to be a lot of confusion and a lot of fear. Folks are afraid of the unknown. What we’ve seen around the municipality though where ATVs are allowed is huge acceptance. They are not the boogeyman that people seem to think they were,” said Broderick.
During a long and winding discussion on ATV access in the so-called restricted zone, Councillor John Lamers withdrew his motion to allow for a substitute motion from Councillor Thom Paterson to re-engage the public on proposed permitting to allow residents in the southeast corner of Clearview to gain access to trails and services.
He said he suspects the report about the low number of ATV related complaints that prompted Lamers’ motion is also flawed because people are underreporting infractions to the authorities, believing it to be a waste of “Itime.think there are a lot more infractions happening than we realize,” said Burton. “I think it’s too soon to be looking at this. We worked hard to come up with a compromise.”
Guests will enjoy complimentary admission to the Simcoe County Museum, a chance to celebrate the history of our forests, enjoy a guided walk through the Museum Tract, along with a range of forestry themed activities and a free barbecue of hot dogs or veggie dogs, and a special treat. A formal opening of the Forestry Education area will take place at 11 a.m. and will including the unveiling of new interactive displays. Representatives from the Canadian Institute of Forestry will also be on hand to culminate a year of celebration of the county being named the Forest Capital of Canada for 2022.
He said the there are no trails in that area because of Niagara Escarpment Commission protected lands, the Creemore Nature Preserve and other sensitive lands that are off limits.

3) At the signs of a cold or flu, choose these immune boosters to strengthen the immune fighting capacity:
• Astragalus – This herb helps boost a run down and underactive immune system, to be used at the first signs of a cold or flu. Do not take if you are actively sick.
Below are some naturopathic treatments to implement this school season to keep your immune system strong and capable to fight viruses or bacteria that you may come in contact with:
Kate Hunter is a naturopathic doctor and owner of The Creemore Apothecary.
Thanks for a great season of sports reporting
Now I can hardly wait for the hockey season to begin. Imagine the write ups we will have to read.
in last week’s issue of The Creemore Echo that the baseball season is coming to an end. I want to congratulate all the players and coaches on their wins and hard work.
• Zinc – This mineral helps keep the immune system strong and ready to fight infections. It can be taken in capsule form, as a lozenge or a as a chewable which is easy for kids to take. Zinc helps to decrease cold and flu symptoms.

2) A daily multivitamin and probiotic – When the body is deficient in microminerals and nutrients it is more susceptible to infections. I give my kids the HMF Child + Multi which is both a full spectrum multi and probiotic for a healthy microbiome.
I know it takes a lot of practice to improve all your skills, so way to go teams.
• Vitamin C – when sick it can be taken in dosages as high as 5,000 mg depending on bowel tolerance. This vitamin helps kill infectious agents circulating in the body. Kids are safe to take up to 1,000 mg per day.

The work that DFO is supporting is part of the larger Nottawasaga River Restoration Program designed to enhance water quality, improve trout and salmon habitat and increase populations of these important sport fishing species in the Nottawasaga River and Georgian Bay.

“The habitat for these fish has been significantly degraded due to human impact,” said Laura Wensink, NVCA’s River Restoration Technician. “Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has provided us with $150,000 to stabilize eroding riverbanks and to keep sediment out of the water and keep phosphorus on land. By doing that, we hope to restore the habitat for these species at risk as well as other fish and wildlife.”
NVCA aquatic biologist Sarah Campbell and manager of stewardship services Fred Dobbs with a lake sturgeon, a species at risk, sampled at Wasaga Beach in the Nottawasaga River.
The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) in partnership with local school boards, will resume offering school-based clinics for routine immunizations for Hepatitis B, Meningococcal Conjugate (MenC-ACYW) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV-9).Thispublicly funded, routine immunization program, normally offered to students in Grade 7, will also be offered to students in Grade 8 who may be behind on their routine immunizations due to pandemicrelated disruptions. Information will be sent home with eligible students through the school in advance of school-based clinics.
The Nottawasaga River is home to one of the largest spawning populations of lake sturgeon in Southern Ontario. It is the largest fish found in Ontario, and can live up to 100 years. Northern brook lamprey, unlike sea lamprey, are not parasitic and are a native species that forms part of a healthy food chain in many larger trout streams.
DFO funding helps restore habitat for species at risk
Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard. “Community-led work, like this project to address riverbank erosion in the Nottawasaga River, is key to the sustainability of our aquatic ecosystems and to conserving Canada’s biodiversity.”
Historically, trees, shrubs and grasses were removed from the banks of the Nottawasaga River to maximize land use. Without roots to hold the soil together, the force of the river erodes the banks, pushing the soil into the river. As the soil settles, it fills in the holes between gravel and rock and covers spawning habitats used by fish.

“The Government of Canada is committed to the protection and recovery of our species at risk and their habitats,” said The Honourable Joyce Murray, Minister of Fisheries,
High levels of phosphorus are also a concern in the Nottawasaga River.
Over the next three years, staff and volunteers at the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) will be restoring eroding riverbanks along the Nottawasaga River to improve habitat for two species at risk – lake sturgeon and northern brook lamprey.

Phosphorus is essential for supporting life in the river, but excessive amounts can cause algae blooms and reduce the oxygen levels. NVCA will work with landowners to install fencing to keep livestock and the phosphorus in their manure out of the water. Trees and shrubs will also be planted to provide shade to keep the river cool and keep sediment on land.

“It crosses back and forth over the line between realism and abstract,” said Miller.
Miller will be speaking at the beginning of an artist’s reception on Thursday, Sept. 22, happening from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will also be a tour of the installation led by the artist 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 11.
The images are accompanied by sounds, including archival recordings from Cornell University who worked off the coast of Baffin Island in the 1970s, of whales, seals, running water, ambient underwater sounds, a glacier front calving and an iceberg cracking as it hits the ground.

Although that feels very negative, Miller says there is hope in the metaphorical iceberg. She said there is still a lot of unknowns underneath “the tip of the iceberg.”
“The visuals of the icebergs is more focused on the keel underneath the surface,” said Miller, “There is still a lot we don’t know and the not knowing could be a little bit of space for hope and possibility… As a species and as a planet hopefully we can survive this and just adapt. So, there is doom and gloom, but there’s also possibility and hope.”

Pre-Covid, Miller had successfully applied to be a guest artist on an Adventure Canada expedition and had a number of other plans in the works to gather visuals and sounds for her installation, all of which were cancelled due to the pandemic.
Using imagery of ice and water, sound and lightboxes The Ice Project draws attention to the state of crisis in the Arctic regions, in a language that is authentic to the artist. The solo, immersive installation offers a sensory, multi-media experience that aims to reconnect the viewer with the fragile environment and inspires responsible stewardship and climate action.
