“While our communities remain more affordable than many of our neighbouring jurisdictions, county council is concerned with the rising cost of living for many of our residents,” said Warden George Cornell. “It is our hope that this project will identify creative solutions to help ease the burden for our residents and offer effective solutions to help our municipalities prioritize the right attainable housing product for our communities.”

Staff at the County of Simcoe have been working with various local municipalities to explore partnership opportunities. The vision for the project is to develop a strategy examining factors that are driving home prices, the range of attainable homes across the region, land use planning supports, and identify what can be done by municipalities to ease the burden on our residents. The project is expected to begin September 2022 and will involve a cross-section of partners in the housing system. With this new initiative, the county continues to expand the work it offers across the housing spectrum: from transitionary housing and shelter support, to social and affordable housing, to financial assistance with affordable secondary/garden suites and agefriendly renovations, to seniors living and long term care.The County of Simcoe is composed of sixteen member municipalities and provides crucial public services to County residents in addition to providing paramedic and social services to the separated cities of Barrie and Orillia.

I am willing to give a personal tour to any councillor that intends to approve access to the ‘unopened road allowance’ that abuts my residence to see first hand the dilemma council will create if ATV access to the land in question is sanctioned.
MyEditor:principal residence since September 1996 has been on Concession 8 Nottawasaga Road. The so-called ‘unopened road allowance’ appears on township maps (from County Road 9 at the south near Dunedin and goes north to Sideroad 9 & 10 Nottawasaga.
First, my property survey indicates that the so called ‘unopened road allowance’ that runs north/south along my property has likely been ceded to my property in lieu of the deviation road (i.e. Concession 8) when the deviation road was initially established.

As Legion members prepare for another year’s activities, they welcome their new Presidentexecutive.
I have several reasons for continuing to exclude this so called ‘unopened road allowance’ from any public traffic (i.e. ATVs and the like) from County Road 9 north to Sideroad 9 & 10 Nottawasaga.
a very real possibility should council approve ATV travel on the ‘unopened road allowance’ to which I refer. I would argue there is no need to consider allowing access to the lands in question because ATVs and the like use the existing Concession 8 deviation road regularly to get to trails andSecond,services.the terrain is very steep and fragile. The ‘unopened road allowance’ that runs along my property is subject to Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC) and Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) oversight. My property including the ‘unopened road allowance’ is some of the most protected land on the escarpment. There are endangered tree species on the ‘unopened road allowance’ and wetlands that must be protected. Giving access to ATVs, etc. to such a sensitive area of the escarpment makes no sense whatsoever. I encourage Council to re-read the NEC Staff Report of Sept. 17, 2020 wherein its first recommendation says, the Commission “endorses the NEC Staff position that the recreational use of motorized-trails is not a Permitted Use within the Escarpment Natural Area or Escarpment Protection Area land use designation of the NEP (2017); and the second recommendation directs staff to circulate the report to all municipalities within the Niagara Escarpment Plan area.” Even the NEC seems to agree withThird,me. there is a pre-existing water feature (rural pond) fed by a year round spring that crosses the entire ‘unopened road allowance’. A 14-foot deep pond that is approximately 120 feet across extends from my property across the entire ‘unopened road allowance’, which makes journey impassiblesuch that travel & trespass on private property is required to go north/south.

The Creemore Cardinals won the Ontario Select Championships after posting a 6-0 record in the tournament last weekend in Hamilton. Creemore got started in the tournament Friday night with a 14-2 win against the host West Mountain Cougars. Dylan Rayburn led the offense with two hits including an RBI double in the fifth inning. Paul Twiss tied the game in the third inning with an RBI triple and scored the go-ahead run. Game 2 would be a closer contest when the team was matched up with the eventual runner-up North York Blues. Creemore would win 9-4, but North York had the bases loaded with no outs in the second inning when Reece Fuller came in to pitch in relief and struck out three consecutive Blues to get out of the inning. Keenan Reynolds led the way at the plate with two hits including a three-run homer into the parking lot in right field. Collingwood was the next opponent and the Cardinals quickly got out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning before winning 14-4. Thomas Weldon shut down Collingwood with seven strikeouts in two 2/3 innings of relief. Creemore needed to win three games on a cold and wet Sunday to become the champs and the first game at 10 a.m. would be against the undefeated London West Tincaps. A 12-7 victory was the result with Drew Hamilton contributing two hits, two RBI and scoring twice. Brayden Foulds started the semifinal game against the Milton Mets and was dominant over five innings, giving up just one run and striking out 12. Hayden Goodfellow-Oster was threefor-three with a double, RBI and two runs for the Cardinals who won 12-1. The championship game was a rematch with the North York Blues who would need to defeat Creemore twice to win the double knockout format tournament. The Cardinals, however, would win the first game and claim the championship. Jack Hutchison reached base three times including a double and scored twice. Evan Wells started on the mound and threw four 2/3 innings allowing just one run, no walks with eight strikeouts. Cooper Duits would come in to pitch with two outs in the last inning and close out the game with a strikeout to complete the championship run. The Creemore 11U’s finished the season with a 46-3 record and were champions of six tournaments. An outstanding season for a remarkable group of Creemorekids. Minor Baseball would like to thank our sponsors Creemore Home Hardware, Fennario Meadows, Hamilton Brothers Farm and Building Supply and Lisle Livestock and Fresh Market. Tryouts for next year’s rep and select teams will take place over the next two weeks. Registration for local league teams for players aged 6-10 will be in February.

A man went to the movies and was surprised to see a woman with a large dog sitting in front of him. What he found even more surprising was that the dog laughed at every funny part in the comedy. “Excuse me,” the man said, “but I think it’s amazing that your dog likes the movie as much as he does.” The woman looked at him and said, “I’m just as surprised as you are. He hated the book!” Thank you to Al Clarke

This year’s DESF grants will support programs ranging from a mental health walk-in clinic to rent assistance for people with intellectual disabilities. The grants were made possible by the generosity of Enbridge Gas and donations from the community. The following are the programs that will be getting emergency support in 2022: Four full-time youth workers (half of the permanent staff) at Choices Youth Shelter will be able to attend CAMH’s concurrent disorders core training this fall, thanks to the DESF grant. Currently, waitlists are long and there are not enough crisis beds in Dufferin County to provide immediate mental health and addictions support for youth. The concurrent disorders training will allow Choices staff to help youth right at the shelter, offering them holistic, wraparound care. The staff receiving the CAMH training will then share what they learn with their co-workers, so that the interventions can be practiced across the will give our frontline staff access to vital education and training to support youth with concurrent disorders. We are deeply grateful for this grant, which will further develop our professional skills. We know it will have a positive impact on interventions and will support our community’s safety and well-being,” said Erin Goodyear, the new executive director at Choices.
Four local organizations that have been helping some of Dufferin County’s most vulnerable residents through the pandemic received $13,000 in Dufferin Emergency Support Fund (DESF) grants thisThesummer.grants, which were created by Dufferin Community Foundation in 2021, provide extra support during emergency periods like the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus this year was to help charities enhance their mental health and shelter/housing services.
As a fall-out from the pandemic, Dufferin Child and Family Services (DCAFS) is seeing a high degree of people feeling overwhelmed and experiencing anxiety about health, finances, education and other basic needs. There is a pressing demand for timely, in-person services that provide tangible support. Knowing that 66 per cent of clients benefit from one session – and then do not require longer or more intensive help – DCAFS is piloting the Mental Health Walk-in Intern Program. The DESF grant will allow youth to increase walk-in appointments by 12 hours/week and give out grounding items to each client. The knowledge that is gained through the pilot will help DCAFS expand the program. “This DESF grant will greatly assist us to expand our mental health walk-in clinic and provide some great anxiety reducing and grounding tools that youth can leave their sessions with,” said Jennifer Moore, DCAFS executive director. “We know the need for mental health supports has increased through the pandemic and we are truly grateful to have this opportunity to be even more responsive to the needs in our community.”Thesocialisolation experienced during the pandemic was particularly hard on older adults, especially if they had preexisting mental health conditions. Aging Well in Caledon Dufferin (AWICD –pronounced A-Wicked) is a collaboration of 29 organizations serving older adults, focused on their social, mental, physical and emotional health. Beginning this summer, the group will use its DESF grant to get out to community events and meet older adults who might be at risk. Volunteers will educate seniors about the programs and services available to them. “Our members will be setting up at various venues like farmers’ markets, fairs and community events to raise awareness, reduce stigma and encourage older adults to remain connected,” said Jennifer McCallum, AWICD member and manager of TeleCheck. “Research has shown that a healthy lifestyle can prevent the onset or worsening of physical and mental health conditions. With this in mind, we will be engaging with older adults and the community-at-large to promote resources and tools to help maintain an independent and healthy lifestyle.”

“Although we’re seeing Dufferin begin to blossom again after two years of pandemic stresses, the charities in our community are still acutely aware that there are deeply rooted issues. At the top of the list, mental health and homelessness – often hidden from our view,” said MaryAnn Lowry, Chair of Dufferin Community Foundation’s Grants Committee.
The demand for Community Living Dufferin staff to help people with intellectual disabilities do their shopping and banking and develop life skills – or just talk to break the isolation – has risen from an average of 2-3 hours/week to 5-8 hours/week over to the pandemic. Their clients also struggle with not having enough money for food and rent, which has added to stress, anxiety and the need for mental health supports. Through the LET Project, Community Living Dufferin will increase health and wellness visits by 20 per cent and offer their clients interest-free and forgivable loans to pay for food and housing. “We are very grateful to Dufferin Community Foundation for the emergency grant. These additional monies will be very instrumental in assisting people living in our community during these difficult times when their employment is being interrupted by COVID, and when costs for food, housing and bills are also skyrocketing,” said Robert Bingham, executive director, Community Living Dufferin.

Queen Elizabeth II died Sept. 8, at the age of aged 96, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after a 70-year reign. "Queen Elizabeth II has been a champion of duty and service, and Her Majesty is much loved and respected around the globe for her devotion to her role as Queen of the Commonwealth. Her journey from a young girl who did not expect to be Queen, to an iconic and celebrated international figure is a great source of pride and inspiration for many people worldwide," said County of Simcoe Warden George Cornell in a statement.
