Re: Report No. LS09-034 Potential Influenza Assessment Centres and Mass
Immunization Clinics
In response to inquiries at the General Committee meeting of Tuesday, September 8",
2009, the following explanation is provided:
The Aurora Community Centre (ACC) Auditorium was selected for a potential Mass
Immunization Clinic in consultation with' York Region Public Health and emergency
services personnel. Although not on ground level, the ACC auditorium provided the
best mix.of requirements. on the summary sheet provided .by York Regional Health..
York Region Health indicated that a facility located on the second floor could be, utilized
providing there is elevator access for those individuals that use a wheel chair,
accessibility scooter, parents with children in a stroller or EMS personnel with a gurney.
The ACC auditorium has elevator access through arena #2.
Unfortunately, other facilities with ground level space such as the Aurora Public Library,
Town Hall and 56 Victoria could not be used due to space, accessibility and parking
concerns. The former Aurora Hydro Building had some location, parking, access and
egress and space concerns. The Aurora Seniors. Centre Multi -Purpose Room also acts
as the Town of Aurora Emergency Operations Centre,as a result this location was not
recommended by the York Region Public Health Unit.
trust this information is of assistance.

Allan D. Downey,
.Director of Leisure Services.

Subject: Parking restrictions relief on Mary Street for the AYSC John Traganitis Tournament
Sensitivity: Confidential
Dear Mrs. Van Leuwan:
Further to email correspondence I have had with the Mayor and others (attached), I ask that the
Council consider lifting the parking ban on Mary Street for this Saturday and Sunday September
19th and 20th so that the many visitors to our Town for this Tournament will not find it unsafe to
park on busy roads adjacent to Sheppard's Bush. We do not also want these visitors to receive
parking tags for parking on Mary Street or to be towed.
The John Traganitis Tournament is our oldest and. most established Tournament and it attracts over
100 teams and an estimated 3000 people to Aurora over this weekend, We want to make their stay
as welcome and as safe as possible. The owner of the property adjacent to Sheppards Bush has
indicated he can't allow parking in his lot until an issue is resolved with the Town and so we will
lose well over 100 spaces for parking and our guests will be forced to park elsewhere. The Mary
street parking is a reasonable alternative that will allow diem to avoid the busy Industrial Parkway
south option.
I ask the Council to lift the parking restrictions on Mary Street temporarily for this weekend until
we can resolve the parking difficulties with the owner of the adjacent property next to Sheppards
Bush.
