Special Olympics Spring 2000 Games, introduced herself and explained that the events
involve participants from 10 years of age to 70 years and that she would be presenting
a short video later in the presentation. She then introduced Constable Adam Stock of
the York Regional Police.
Constable Stock explained that the Ontario Special Olympics was founded in 1967 and
now provides over 900 programs for training in Ontario throughout the year. Constable
Stock provided a summary of the various fundraising initiatives taken by the York
Regional Police Department including the Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run which
raised $18,000 last year for the Special Olympics. It was explained that this Torch Run
is practiced all over the Country and is a major source of funding for the Special
Olympics. Constable Stock expressed that the York Regional Police Department takes
great pride in their efforts to raise funds for this program and stated that it was the
Department’s intention to raise an unprecedented $100,000 this year to go towards
athlete development and other aspects of the Ontario Special Olympics.
A video was shown providing a look at the types of events which take place at the
Ontario Special Olympics, and an inspirational look at the effort, emotion and triumph
that Athletes and their families share in this event.
Lina Bigioni informed Council that the Athletes will arrive on May 11 to York Region and
outlined the Schedule of Events for the two days of Competition. Ms. Bigioni explained
that there were over 10,000 spectators expected, with an estimated $5 million impact on
the Region, and that the events will be televised on Rogers Cable. Ms. Bigioni
explained that this event will lead athletes into the 2002 National Special Olympics and
the cost of this event will amount to almost a million dollars explaining that $300,00 has
been raised to date. She also noted that there is still a need for over 2000 volunteers to
assist in this upcoming event.
In closing Ms. Bigioni listed various businesses and public figures who have provided
large donations and expressed hope that all efforts would be made to raise awareness
of this event and to encourage assistance through donations and volunteering, noting

DELEGATIONS
Marshall Macklin Monahgan Ltd. re: Draft Site Plan Agreement
for Fernbrook Residential Development of Lots 74 and 75,
Concession 1 E.Y.S. D11-03-98
Aurora Council Agenda No. 18-99 Page 3
Wednesday, June, 9, 1999
Mr. Jeff King of Marshall, Macklin Monaghan spoke regarding the site plan agreement
for Fernbrook Homes (Stonebridge) Ltd. in report Pl99-050-152 of this agenda. Mr.
King indicated that at a previous Council meeting this report was removed from the
agenda at the request of Fernbrook to resolve wording on two items. He explained that
first of these items has been resolved however the second item regarding the provision
of a sign notifying purchasers of an easement to provide access and servicing for the
lands to the west of the Stonebridge site. Mr. King suggests that because this is a
condominium development, notice of this easement is already provided to prospective
buyers through a mandatory Disclosure Statement, as per the condominium Act. He
also indicated other ways in which the purchasers are going to receive notification and
he expressed concern that erecting a sign in addition to these other forms of notification
might be a deterrent or a source of confusion for prospective buyers. In closing Mr. King
asked that clause 11.3 relating to the provision of a sign from the site plan be deleted
and that the execution of the now modified Site Plan Agreement be approved.
#376. Moved by Councillor West Seconded by Councillor Morris
THAT the request of the Delegate be denied.

consider providing a 3rd and final reading in addition to the scheduled 1st and 2nd
readings of Bill 4067-99.D at this evening’s meeting. Mr. Palmer explained that this
request is based on the fact that Council has already reviewed the By-law and related
report at a previous meeting where a request was made to fulfill certain conditions,
which have now been fulfilled. It was also mentioned that any delay in finalizing the By-
law would result in tighter construction and closing schedules.
