Re: Leksand Donation
Mayor Dawe presented a video clip of a skype conversation he recently held with Ms.
Ulrika Liljeberg, Mayor of Leksand, Sweden. He advised Mayor Liljeberg about the
Town’s annual Art Show and Sale and the traditional selection by the Mayor of
artwork to be added to the Preserve Aurora collection. Mayor Dawe noted that, in
this year of the Town’s 150th Anniversary, the Manager of Recreation wished to do
something special to reconnect with Aurora’s twin city and a contest was held at the
Art Show where attendees were asked to choose a piece of artwork as a gift for
Leksand. He advised that the selected artwork would soon be forwarded to Mayor
Liljeberg toward a reconnection and renewal of the relationship between Aurora and
Leksand. Mayor Liljeberg congratulated the Town of Aurora on its 150th Anniversary
and expressed her appreciation about receiving a gift chosen by the people of Aurora
and agreed that it would be nice to maintain a friendship with more communication.
Mayor Dawe noted that the gift artwork is a piece called “April Showers” by Ronald
Wilson, a resident of Aurora, which was purchased into the Preserve Aurora
collection in 1985.

Re: Reinstatement of Ontario Ranger Program
Moved by Mayor Dawe Seconded by Councillor Humfryes
WHEREAS in September 2012 the provincial government cancelled the 70-
year-old Ontario Ranger Program (ORP), formerly known as the Ontario
Junior Ranger program; and
WHEREAS when the government cancelled the Ontario Ranger Program it
claimed the Stewardship Youth Ranger Program (SYP), an existing day
program, would deliver the same experience and would offer more jobs; and
WHEREAS this day program does not offer the same quality of experience
youth gained under the previous ORP in respect to knowledge of resource
management and without the distractions of daily life; and
WHEREAS since 2012, 278 Ontario Ranger jobs have been eliminated; and
WHEREAS in previous years more than half of the Ontario Rangers were
students from large urban centres. By contrast this year, the current day
program is just not accessible to those students in those urban centres; and
WHEREAS when the government cancelled the ORP, many youths lost an
opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime experience because the ORP only required
enrollment in an Ontario high school and acceptance into the program was
based on a postal code lottery system; and
WHEREAS cancellation of the 70-year-old ORP does a disservice to public
services in Ontario to those who have come to admire and respect the natural
beauty of our province; and
WHEREAS Conservation Authorities encourage students to learn about the
importance of conserving our shared natural environment and what they can
do to make a positive impact; and
WHEREAS the provincial government committed $295 million dollars in the
2013 provincial budget for youth employment.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED THAT the Town of Aurora
support the Friends of the Ontario Ranger Program campaign to restore the
Ontario Ranger Program in the 2014 provincial budget; and
Council Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, December 10, 2013 Page 11 of 13

Program for future generations of young people; and

resolution for support to the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and
