Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School (NCPS) students held their traditional Grade 8 graduation parade Monday prior to a video ceremony. Staff was at the school to congratulate students and pass out "grad bags" before the parade headed off down the main street and to the nursing home. For more photos of the grads, see page 6-7.

Council composition goes to a vote

by Trina Berlo A public meeting was held June 28 regarding the future structure of Clearview council.

Council floated two options for consideration. Option 1: A five-ward structure (seven-member council): five councillors, a deputy mayor and mayor; and Option 2: Maintain the current ward structure (nine-member council): seven councillors, a deputy mayor and mayor.

No members of the public appeared to make comments during the virtual meeting but four letters were received, all in favour of Option 1.

“Simply put, a streamlined smaller council is a more efficient council,” wrote Keith Carter. “For the population and area involved a smaller council truly does make sense. As it is some councillors have a very small area and density and could easily be covered by the remaining council members.

Yes, I realize it will mean an area does not have 'personal' representation but I have no doubt the councillor covering will do a fine job. There will also be a small cost saving but any saving is a plus. The present size of council has never made sense to me.”

the two options presented at the public meeting, indicated that respondents were pretty much split down the middle on keeping the current ninemember council composition of seven councillors plus a mayor and deputy mayor, versus eliminating two council seats, but 76 per cent said they prefer the ward system.

The public still has time to comment before council takes a vote on July 12.

Anyone who wishes to voice their preference is encouraged to get in touch with their ward councillor or e-mail all councillors at council@ clearview.ca.

The campaign for Stella Ambler, Simcoe-Grey MPP hopeful has launched a petition demanding that the PC Party of Ontario immediately reinstate the right of the membership of the local PC association to elect its candidate for the next Ontario election, and, as soon as possible, hold an open, public and democratic Nomination Convention for this riding, as required by the PC Party of Ontario Constitution.

To the surprise of local PC Party of Ontario members, it was announced June 3 that there would be no open, public and democratic nomination convention held for the riding of Simcoe-Grey but that instead, a candidate would be “appointed,” contrary to the principles of democracy and in violation of its own constitution, said Ambler.

Collingwood Mayor Brian Saunderson has been named candidate for the seat being vacated by outgoing MPP Jim Wilson.

“There’s time to fix this, to correct this injustice,” wrote Ambler to supporters.

“Provincial Election Day is a full 11 months away. (Only three weeks are needed for a properly constituted nomination process.) I hope you’ll join me in demanding an open, public and democratic nomination vote here in Simcoe-Grey.”

The petition is posted at www. stellaambler.com/petition.

Accessible swings approved for Clearview parks Council has approved the purchase of four accessible swings for Clearview parks, as per a recommendation from the Clearview Accessibility Advisory Committee.

Parks staff asked for the equipment in response to requests from the community to provide accessible swings for children.

The total cost of four swings with accessible seats is $7,164 to be funded from the accessibility improvements reserve. They will be installed at parks in Creemore, Stayner, New Lowell and Nottawa.

Clearview waives fees for Stayner Habitat build “Renters these days find themselves paying an exorbitant amount – 60 per cent, sometimes 70-75 per cent – of their take-home income on substandard rental accommodation,” he told councillors.

The problem, he said, has only been exacerbated by the current housing market, which has prompted landlords to sell their rental properties to cash in on the high value of the asset.

Setting people up with affordable housing does a lot to improve a family’s health and reduces the burden of health care costs on the rest of society, he said.

“Selling a mortgage specifically tied to income allows for things such as dietary concerns, quality of food, and extracurricular activities to take place,” said Turnbull.

This summer’s build will be on an infill lot at 219

NVCA encourages comments on the proposed changes to the Conservation Authorities Act The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) is encouraging residents in the Nottawasaga Valley watershed to comment on the proposed changes to the Conservation Authorities Act. The Ontario government released the changes on the Environmental Registry of Ontario. As part of the public consultation process, members of the public can comment on these changes on the before June 27.

The proposed changes list the services that are core and non-core. Municipalities would be mandated to provide funds for core services, such as flood management, permitting and planning services. However, municipalities can opt-out of non-core services, including maintaining hiking trails, environmental restoration on private land, providing education programs, planting forests and most components for stream, groundwater and wetland monitoring.

“Our natural resources provide numerous ecosystem services to those who live, work and play in the watershed,” commented Doug Hevenor, CAO of NVCA. “Maintaining and enhancing these natural resources requires an integrated approach.

By dividing our services into core and non-core, we may have to make the difficult choice to eliminate or reduce programs from the integrated process.

This makes it much more difficult to ensure nature’s ecosystem services are in place and are resilient to climate change and the impacts of urban growth.”

Residents are encouraged to submit comments about their experiences with NVCA’s non-core programs and to ask the Minister to reconsider dividing programs into core and non-core. Examples include experiences in NVCA’s conservation areas, working with the stewardship team to restore stream and river banks as well as children’s experiences at the Tiffin Centre for Conservation.

“Currently, NVCA receives 50 per cent of our funding from our municipal partners,” said Hevenor.

“Under the new legislation, funding for non-core work could be drastically reduced from current levels. This funding is vital for maintaining our conservation areas and allows our education staff to develop programs. Our talented stewardship staff raises four times as much funds to restore our streams and rivers to improve water quality, maintain tourism and provide habitat in all of our partner municipalities.”

Residents can visit the Environmental Registry of Ontario at ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-2986 to provide comments and to learn more about the proposed changes to the Conservation Authorities Act.

John St. in Stayner and next year’s is slated for the connecting lot on Christopher Street.

Habitat for Humanity sets people up in a home with an interest-free mortgage. Only 25 per cent of the owners’ gross combined family income goes toward a combined mortgage and property tax payment. The organization is founded on the belief that decent, affordable housing is a basic human right. It partners with low-income families, who currently live in substandard housing, are willing to volunteer 500 hours of “sweat equity” and can repay a zero-down payment, interest-free mortgage over an average 35-year period.

For more information about applying to become a homeowner, volunteering on a build and donating, visit habitatgeorgianbay.ca. Donations of skilled trades, product, materials, and services are welcome.

Deaccession of Indigenous objects Simcoe County Museum’s collection includes a number of Indigenous objects, with many on display in the Channen Gallery. One of the cases in this gallery included a collection of False Face masks, most of them purchased in the 1970s for museum display.

It was brought to the attention of staff that Haudenosaunee people believe False Face masks should not be displayed, as they are sacred Indigenous objects. Council received a report on the county’s plan to remove the masks from the museum’s permanent collection and transfer them to a suitable institution that will ensure these pieces receive proper care and safekeeping by Haudenosaunee people.

by Trina Berlo Clearview council has agreed to waive the development charge fees for an upcoming Habitat for Humanity build in Stayner, and is investigating the possibility of waiving the building permit fees as well.

The request was brought forward by Habitat for Humanity South Georgian Bay past chair Andrew Turnbull and executive director Joy Fleury who said that they have had challenges due to the pandemic and any savings they could find for this summer’s build could be passed on to another build scheduled for Stayner the following year and all future homes.

Not only did the pandemic cause closures of the Restore, which is a main source of income for the organization, it has also increased the need for affordable housing, said Turnbull.

OPINION COLUMN

Dear Money Lady, I don’t know how to get my children to save! It seems like they are always spending, and I am worried that they won’t be prepared when they get older. I have always saved and made them do without – is that why they are spending so much?

THE WAY WE WERE

Christine

IBBOTSON

Dear Jen – I don’t think so!

I wouldn’t want you to worry too much about your adult children. Unfortunately, life now is quite expensive, but if you have taught them the value of saving for the future they will eventually catch on. We all know it is important to save for retirement, but do we really do it? Can we do it?

I recently read a Canadian survey that stated Canadian taxpayers have accumulated about $625 billion in “unused” RRSP contribution room – money that obviously has not been saved for retirement. I was actually shocked to further read in this study that six out of 10 non-retirees expected to live a lifestyle in retirement that is less or much less comfortable than their current lifestyle. Is this because we do not want to plan; or could it be, we just don’t have the means to save more money to have a plan?

Typically, there are three variables that strongly influence the ability to save for those people between the ages of 35 and 45 – age, children and income.

While many in this age group recognize the value of planning, it is not their priority and when the annual household incomes come in under $80,000, this group is not likely to be able to save. Most people nowadays, (under age 48) are still consumed by other priorities, including debt reduction and managing current expenses.

Saving and planning habits are usually always influenced by their parents, either by a desire to avoid making the same mistakes or by wanting to create the same saving habits.

Whether your children are young or now adults with their own children, we as parents play a role in teaching our kids the basics of money management skills and should encourage them to develop good budgeting and saving habits. Parents must remember that their own financial behaviors have an immense influence on their children. Being a good role model allows our children to develop healthy financial routines. In the end, however, our children will need to take charge of their own retirement on their own terms.

Remind them that it is never too late to start planning and saving. They will listen to you.

LETTER

County Road 91 enhances travel, cycling

Editor: I have recently emailed the mayor and members of the Clearview council to state our concern regarding the closure of County Road 91. I wanted to reach out to you as this is a significant issue for Collingwood area residents.

My husband and I own property at Lighthouse Point in Collingwood and travel regularly from there to our home in Mississauga. Our route includes County Road 91 and the use of this road enhances our travel.

We also use 91 when cycling and it contributes to our recreational enjoyment of the Georgian Triangle area. Many tourism dollars are generated by cycling enthusiasts.

We are very concerned about the closure as noted in the Save91.ca website, and are very surprised this road, which has been developed at public expense and recently upgraded with a high-quality paving job, is

proposed to be sold to Walker Industries. This is a critical route for all the residents in this area, for the use of farmers, and efficient access for EMS services etc, for recreation and tourism.

Another major point of contention is the destruction of the environment which would occur to develop 26/27 Sideroad. Natural features of the environment which are currently in a relatively natural state would be disturbed, including streams, valleys, wetlands and forests. Important plant and animal habitats would be destroyed, geological features and cultural heritage features would be compromised. With the high level of importance now placed on saving the climate and retaining the natural beauty of our country, the importance of this cannot be understated.

Barbara Cooper, Collingwood.

Wedding nuptials of great interest to community “The chief topic of interest in Dunedin this past week was the marriage of two very popular and widely known young people. It took place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Metheral, on Wednesday evening, May 17th. The bride was Miss Fern Elizabeth, their oldest daughter, one of Dunedin’s most talented and attractive young ladies. The groom’s name needs only to be mentioned, for George Scriver has filled quite a

large space, both in business and social life of the burg.”

The above quote comes from The Creemore Star of May 25th, 1916, and showed the pride local communities felt for their young people and the interest they took in wedding nuptials. And since this is the traditional time of year for weddings (although not during a pandemic) it seems fitting to look at weddings from the past.

Ironically, now, newly married couples often choose to ride in a carriage drawn by horses.

Traditionally in the local area friends, neighbours, and relatives gathered shortly after the honeymoon to celebrate the marriage with a bounteous meal, dancing, socializing and the giving of gifts. Such was the occasion for Mr. and Mrs. Clement Penelton at Lavender. Seventy people were present in the farmhouse.

For the dancing the furniture was moved out of one of the rooms and the musicians were set up in a corner.

Without modern entertainment as we know it in the twenty-first century many people spent their spare time playing a musical instrument. It wasn’t difficult to find musicians for a dance. Old and young alike joined in, the children having as much fun as their elders, and no one called it quits until very late.

Ecoculture Conservancy of Canada germinates locally

by Trina Berlo There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to a growing project near Glen Huron.

A market stand at Glen Huron Inn and the planting of a community garden in Collingwood is just skimming the surface of the mission for the newly created Ecoculture Conservancy of Canada.

Tanya Major is harnessing her background in business development and her husband Andrew’s knowledge as a wildlife technician to spread a wide net of knowledge and learning about sustainable and collaborative ways to grow food.

Major says her goal is to be a venue for sharing experience and knowledge between those who wish to learn and those who have something to teach

through workshops, retreats, and student group visits.

When the provincial government deemed community gardens an essential service a year ago, the Majors connected with a few other local entrepreneurs to do some good for the community. With the bounty of medicinal and nutrient dense food grown in the community garden, a team of growers were able to offer fresh produce to local shelters. The surplus was sold at the County Road 124 market stand. Any profits are being reinvested in the construction of greenhouses and gardens and donations of seeds and plants, at elementary schools for example, so youth have a chance to learn about seed germination and food production.

“If people are eating and they have

never grown a thing in their life, that’s a problem,” said Major.

The next steps are to find ways to offer programming on a larger scale, with a collaborative covid resilient creative mind.

“It’s an olive branch for others who want to work in regenerative resources,” said Major. “There’s a gap, and we will fill it.”

She is already connecting people who have no experience gardening with those who are looking for a place to put in their volunteer and teaching hours for their respective professions.

She has plans to facilitate all kinds of teaching and learning opportunities, whether it be foraging for medicinal herbs or learning to make maple syrup.

The goal is to utilize the property as a resource for learning and exploration through organized programming, camps, retreats, etc.

“Everything starts with curiosity,” said Major. “People can’t protect what they don’t know exists. If we want to try to protect our ecosystems, the best way is to learn.”

That’s why there will be a strong focus on youth, because they will be the protectors of the planet, said Major.

She said she is open to many collaborations and already has partnerships in the works with beekeepers, a food broker, holistic nutritionist, educators, yogis, and a

An ever growing initiative, Major says in 2022 the community will see the launch of further programming under the umbrella of an Eco Village.

Major welcomes proposals for ways to use the property as a resource for advancing the mission.

Food council aims to reduce household, community food insecurity

by Trina Berlo Simcoe County Food Council representative Michael Ryan made a presentation to Clearview council Monday hoping to raise awareness about a mission to enhance food security for all residents of Simcoe County.

He said the Simcoe County Food Security Framework was endorsed in 2019, and grew out of the creation of the Simcoe County Food and Agriculture Charter of 2013. The vision is to create a sustainable, equitable and secure local food system in Simcoe County that recognizes food as a human right. It is an inter-connected food system where safe, sufficient, nutritious, culturally appropriate food is financially and physically accessible to everyone through dignified means, and where the people are actively working toward realizing a more food secure Simcoe County.

The goals include raising awareness about and reduce household food insecurity by increasing access to nutritious food and improving food literacy, improving community food infrastructure, fostering Simcoe County’s food traditions and Indigenous food knowledge and culture, and supporting countywide collaboration toward food security.

Household food insecurity is experienced when an individual or household lacks the financial resources to access food. Addressing household food insecurity requires specific income-related interventions.

Household food insecurity is influenced by: Cost of living, including housing and rent; Cost of heat, hydro, food, and other basic necessities; Social assistance rates; Job security and income; Access to transportation; and Cost of fuel and equipment required for hunting and fishing.

Community food security is a measure of food access and availability at the community level; it studies the local food system to measure the production and provision of food available to the public through retailers, farmer’s markets, community gardens, food programs and emergency food services.

Ryan said 11.47 per cent of Simcoe County residents are living in poverty and one-in-eight households are food insecure.

“If you have initiatives within your municipality that fit within those goals… we’d enjoy working with you to implement them and we may know other people who are doing similar things in other places and save some duplication in outlaying a project,” said Ryan.

• THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, July 2, 2021

Health unit urges prevention in re-opening Step 2 Simcoe Muskoka, along with the rest of the province, moved into Step 2 of its three-tiered Roadmap to Reopen Wednesday. The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) is reminding residents of the new requirements that are now in place and the importance of continuing to follow public health prevention measures.

Under Step 2, size limits for gatherings and outdoor venues increase and reopening of some services are allowed.

Limits for organized outdoor activities and gatherings increase to 25 people.

Indoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to five people are

allowed. Face masks should be worn if physical distancing indoors or outdoors cannot be maintained with people outside of your household. Capacity limits on outdoor dining, essential and non-essential retail have increased, and shopping malls and personal services may reopen with limitations and restrictions in place. Other services and activities may resume with capacity limits and mask requirements, including increased capacity for religious services and the reopening of public libraries, outdoor sporting facilities, sports leagues, cinemas, and amusement parks.

“The progression to Step 2 is a welcome

move forward. However, as we head into Canada Day and summer vacations it is essential that we continue to follow all public health safety measures that are in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities,” said Dr. Colin Lee, Associate Medical Officer of Health for SMDHU. “In addition to following these precautions, I urge all individuals 12 years of age and older to get their full two-dose series of COVID-19 vaccinations as soon as they are able.”

While the Public Health Agency of Canada has recently provided considerations for public health measures based on your vaccination status,

provincial guidelines are coming soon that will outline Ontario’s approach based on our stage of reopening. Until then, ongoing public health measures to prevent COVID-19 transmission include staying home when feeling ill, maintaining a physical distance of two metres from those living outside of your household, wearing a mask indoors and outdoors when physical distancing is not possible, covering your cough, and washing your hands regularly. To learn more about public health safety measures and reopening guidelines under Ontario’s Roadmap to Reopen Step 2, visit smdhu. org/covid19.

NOTICE: The Creemore BIA is creating a pedestrian and cyclist-only thoroughfare to ensure adequate space for social distancing and increase the opportunities for local businesses during the important summer season.

Expect street closures on Mill Street from Elizabeth Street to the Village Green every weekend (Saturday and Sunday) from July 9 to the Labour Day Long weekend.

In order to provide the maximum space possible for businesses and pedestrians, all vehicles must be removed from parking spaces on Mill Street on Friday evenings. Parking is available at Station on the Green or on side streets outside of the closure zone.

We look forward to providing a safe and welcoming space for residents and visitors to enjoy.

Thank you for supporting our downtown and helping to ensure our businesses thrive throughout these difficult times.
