(a) Councillor Abel
Re: Affordable Housing Plan
Whereas the province has legislated the Affordable Housing Act 2016, an Act
that allows for a Strategy to meet demands for affordable units; and
Whereas the Act does provide the framework, however there is further
direction required from municipalities in order to meet the demand in
affordable rental stock; and
Whereas the Town of Aurora has approved Secondary Suites; and
Whereas the Act, works best where there is urban growth; and
Whereas the York Region Local Municipal Housing Working Group has been
exploring options to address housing supply and affordability issues and to
develop an affordable ownership and rental housing incentives framework; and
Whereas the Ministry of Municipal Affairs with the Ministry of Housing have
signalled they will include Inclusionary Zoning, which is a discretionary tool for
Municipalities to employ, to require private-market development to include
below-market-rate rental and/or ownership housing; and
Whereas planning and thinking before funding programs become available is a
sound strategic investment of resources, and creates clarity and certainty for
municipalities; and
Whereas Rental Stock allows for all ranges of incomes, aging in a familiar
community, and revenue opportunities;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That staff report back with
municipal guidelines for affordable housing, for our Official Plan policies
and Zoning By-laws; and
2. Be It Further Resolved That the report refer to and incorporate guidelines,
funding and policies from the three (3) upper tier governments, being the
Region, Provincial and Federal governments.

(b) Councillor Abel
Re: Aurora Pow-Wow 2018
Whereas the Town of Aurora in June 2017 hosted an event for the Canada
150 Celebration, called the New Beginnings Pow-Wow in Aurora; and
Whereas this event was well attended, and drew a significant percentage of
attendees from out of town; and
Whereas the 2017 New Beginnings Pow-Wow in Aurora event was funded
through the federal government grant application process; and
Whereas this was an inaugural event, and worth considering expanding this
initiative to an annual Pow-Wow event as per the Town’s Cultural Master Plan;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That staff be directed to prepare
information in the form of a budget option to hold the Aurora Pow-Wow
2018 for consideration by Budget Committee during the 2018 Budget
review.
(c) Councillor Abel
Re: Pedestrian Traffic Calming
Whereas the Town of Aurora supports active transportation, safe traffic
calming measures and safe pedestrian crossings; and
Whereas an Icelandic town has employed ingenious painted crossing patterns
for pedestrians to be safer at crossings and more heavily pedestrian traffic
areas like school zones and parks; and
Whereas the crossing intersections are 3-D and appear to be raised concrete
pads that would raise vehicle operators’ attention to slow down;
1. Now Therefore Be it Hereby Resolved That staff be directed to prepare an
information report regarding the suitability and advisability of installing
raised pedestrian crossings, and the estimated cost for up to five
installations with an identified capital funding source; and
2. Be It Further Resolved That the report be completed in time for the 2018
Budget deliberations, to be implemented in the spring of 2018.

Whereas the importance of protecting the stability of our older residential
areas of Aurora is demonstrated in Section 8, six pages of policies intended to
provide protection from incompatible forms of development while permitting
these neighbourhoods to evolve and be enhanced over time; and
Whereas Section 8.1.3 d) states that "All development within the Stable
Neighbourhoods' designation may be subject to Site Plan Control…including,
without limitation, the control of building materials, colour and architectural

laws pertaining to our older neighbourhoods; and
Whereas these by-laws have been in place for many years preceding the 2010
Official Plan protections intended to shape appropriate development in these

governing development of stable neighbourhoods to ensure that the intent
of our planning policy is being realized and reflected through these By-
laws and report back to Council.

provide staff with the direction to proceed with the identified capital projects for the
following year.
Analysis
Asset Management Plan (AMP)
The Asset Management Plan forms the foundation upon which the town bases its
existing asset repair, replacement and rehabilitation decisions upon. It is a strategic
document stating the characteristics and condition of infrastructure assets, levels of
service expected from them, planned actions to ensure the assets are providing the
expected level of service, specifically including how evaluation and replacement
decisions are made, and financing strategies to implement the planned actions. The
overall intent of the AMP is to help the Town to ensure that its investments in its existing
assets are made at the right time, future repair and rehabilitation costs are minimized,
and municipal assets are being appropriately maintained for the optimal service life at
the lowest cost. In the updated 2017 Asset Management Plan, the core foundational
methodologies for asset repair, replacement & rehabilitation remain unchanged from
those approved by Council in prior years. The only changes made to the updated 2017
AMP relate to its financial tables which have been updated to ensure continued
alignment with the town’s most recent ten year capital investment strategy. A link to the
complete AMP has been provided in the Attachments section under Attachment #1.
Ten Year Capital Investment Plan
Complementing the Town’s AMP is its annual Ten Year Capital Investment Plan which
represents a consolidation of the anticipated needs of the Town’s departments. All
repair, replacement & rehabilitation capital items contained within this plan are guided
by the foundational philosophies outlined in the town’s AMP. This plan is intended to
assist the managers responsible for each asset category to carefully plan the long term
sustainability of each asset, and ensure appropriate and timely budgeting for the
replacement of assets at the optimal time, balancing available funding, with the need
and condition of the asset and its service.
On October 14, 2017, the 2017 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan was presented to
Budget Committee. A link to the complete Ten Year Capital Investment Plan has been
provided in the Attachments section under Attachment #2.
The Ten Year Capital Investment Plan presented contains the detailed plans for assets
showing the approved 2017 capital budget plus ten forecast years from 2018 to 2027.
These plans have been reviewed and updated by each asset manager.
Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, November 14, 2017
Item R1
Page 2 of 12
November 14, 2017 Page 3 of 6 Report No. FS17-048
The ten year plan shows a planned investment requirement of $262 million in total over
the next ten years; $124.5 million for Repair and Replacement, $134.4 million for growth
and new assets, and approximately $3 million for studies and other.
Draft 2018 Capital Budget
On October 14, 2017, an overview of the draft of the Town’s Capital Budget was
presented to the Budget Committee. The committee concluded its review of the 2018
capital budget on November 7, 2017.
As in the past, the capital budget has been presented in three parts:
• Repair and Replacement Infrastructure Capital
• Growth and New Infrastructure Capital
• Studies and Other Non-Infrastructure Projects
As a result of the concept of a “Cash to Capital” reserve allocation from tax levy and the
internal funding of capital coming from resultant infrastructure and other reserves, there
is no longer a direct impact on the tax rate by the capital budget. As such, the
Committee recommended capital budget is driven by asset need rather than impact on
taxes. A number of projects have been noted in the schedules as “conditional approval
– additional information required.” These projects have been approved in principle, but
the Committee has asked staff to provide additional information by a future report, prior
to any contractual commitments being made for the project.
Repair and Replacement Infrastructure Projects
The proposed Repair and Replacement (R&R) Capital Budget for 2018 represents a
gross cost of $13,406,329 funded mainly from capital reserves including specific R & R
reserves. The 2018 R&R program includes repair work to facilities, roads, sidewalks,
playgrounds, parks and the replacement of vehicles and equipment. Management has
confirmed that they have the resource capacity to deliver the proposed capital program.
Attachment #3 provides a summary of the recommended Repair and Replacement
Capital program by project, by decision for 2018. The detailed capital project pages can
be viewed through the link provided in the Attachments section under Attachment #3.
Growth and New Infrastructure Projects
The proposed Growth and New Capital Budget for 2018 represents a gross cost of
$16,029,611. This capital program includes funding for the construction of new
sidewalks, a new skid steer, a new park in 2C and a playground and design for a new

recreation facility. Attachment #4 provides a summary of the recommended Growth and
New Capital program by project, by decision for 2018. The detailed capital project
pages can be viewed through the link provided in the Attachments section under
Attachment #4.
Studies and Other Projects
The proposed major Studies and Other Projects Capital Budget presents a gross cost of
$605,000. This includes a DC Background Study and Municipal Energy Plan.
Attachment #5 provides a summary of the recommended Studies and Other program by
project, by decision for 2018. The detailed capital project pages can be viewed through
the link provided in the Attachments section under Attachment #5.
Advisory Committee Review
Not applicable
Financial Implications
All funding is sourced from existing reserve funds of the Town, and not directly from the
tax rate budget or utility rate budgets. The operating budget is a draft at this time for
2018, but it does include a sustainable contribution of funding into a variety of reserve
funds in support of the town’s ten year capital investment requirements, and is not tied
to any specific capital project. Accordingly, the capital budget as recommended may be
approved independently of the operating budget.
The draft capital budget materials included proposed funding sources for each capital
project. To simplify this report, the recommendations refer to the approval of all funding
as recommended by Budget Committee for all applicable projects. Where funding was
amended by Budget Committee, the Town’s web site detailed materials will be updated
to reflect such decisions immediately following approval of this report.
Communications Considerations
This report along with all attachments will be posted to the Town’s website on the
Budget and Financial Information page.

November 14, 2017 Page 5 of 6 Report No. FS17-048
Link to Strategic Plan
Developing, reviewing and presenting the annual capital investment plan supports
several aspects of the Strategic Plan. This report supports the Plan principles of
Leadership in Corporate Management, Leveraging Partnerships, and Progressive
Corporate Excellence and Continuous Improvement.
Alternative(s) to the Recommendation
1. May provide alternative directions with respect to the recommendations arising from
Special Budget Committee.
Conclusions
The 2017 Asset Management Plan provides the framework upon which the town’s
repair and replacement budget is built by documenting the rationale and processes
upon which all R&R capital project decisions are prepared by staff. The Budget
Committee recommends that Council formally receive the updated 2017 Asset
Management Plan.
The Budget Committee also recommends that council formally receive the Town’s
updated 2017 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.
Staff presented to the Budget Committee a capital budget that balanced the repair and
replacement of existing assets with new asset requests, all of which are required to
maintain the Town’s existing levels of service that taxpayers have come to expect.
Budget Committee has reviewed each proposal in detail, and recommends the approval
by Council of the final capital budget as presented herein.

Town of Aurora
Council Report No. FS17-056
Subject: Appointment of Deputy Treasurer
Prepared by: Dan Elliott, Director of Financial Services - Treasurer
Department: Financial Services
Date: November 14, 2017
Recommendation
1. That Report No. FS17-056 be received; and
2. That the Bylaw necessary to appoint a replacement Deputy Treasurer be
adopted.
Executive Summary
Section 286 of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25 as amended (the “Act”)
requires the municipality to appoint a Treasurer, and permits the municipality to appoint
one or more Deputy Treasurers.
• The Town has previously appointed two Deputy Treasurers to support the
financial operations of the Town, and to serve as back-ups in the absence of the
Treasurer, fulfilling the statutory and corporate responsibilities of the Treasurer
from time to time as required.
• Through a retirement, one new replacement Deputy Treasurer has been hired.
• A bylaw is required to formalize the statutory appointment to the position
Background
In 2010, the Town passed a bylaw to appoint two deputy treasurers for the Town. In
2013, one of those individuals retired and a replacement was hired. An amending
bylaw was adopted at that time to appoint Jason Gaertner as a Deputy Treasurer.
Recently, the other Deputy Treasurer, Paul Dillman, retired; having served the Town for
17 years, culminating a career of 50 years of working full time. Clayton Pereira has now
been hired to replace Paul, and will also serve as a Deputy Treasurer as part of his
duties.
Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, November 14, 2017
Item R2
Page 1 of 3
November 14, 2017 Page 2 of 3 Report No. FS17-056
Clayton comes to the Town from the Region of York, where he served as their Tax
Policy Specialist in the Revenue and Forecasting Policy Unit of the Finance Department
for over nine years. Prior to that, Clayton worked for the Town of East Gwillimbury in the
capacity of Supervisor, Revenues and Property Taxation for a period of four years.
Clayton earned an Honours Bachelor of Commerce from University of Toronto, and a
Masters in Business Administration from Laurentian University. He also holds his
Certified General Accountant (CGA) and Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA)
designations.
A formal appointment bylaw is required. Since the Deputy Treasurer bylaw has already
been amended once, it is staff’s preference to repeal the previous bylaw, and adopt a
new bylaw appointing both Mr. Gaertner and Mr. Pereira as Deputy Treasurers for the
Town.
Advisory Committee Review
None
Financial Implications
None.
Communications Considerations
None required.
Link to Strategic Plan
Maintaining Deputy Treasurers to fulfil the statutory duties in the absence of the
Treasurer supports the Strategic Plan principles of Leadership in Corporate
Management, and Progressive Corporate Excellence and Continuous Improvement.

• Public awareness and communication strategy will initiate once approvals of
Phase 2 is received
Background
Town of Aurora Council approved Report PRCS17-008 on March 28, 2017 engaging
the services of Thomas Brown Architects Inc.
A Facility Task Force was also established to oversee the project and provide input into
the design and guide the process.
The Task Force presented the draft design to the Joint Council Committee (JCC) on
November 7, 2017. JCC recommend the approval the design and recommended
proceeding to Phase 2 of the RFP process.
Analysis
Several Task Force meetings have taken place
The Architect has met with members of the Task Force on Fire Headquarters Station 4-
5 on August 1st, September 11th, October 17th. In addition, they have met with the Fire
Chief and his staff on several occasions to obtain input and requirements for the facility.
Alternative designs were presented and evaluated
The Architect was tasked to present alternative designs for the facility as part of their
design exercise. The alternative designs considered are one storey and two storey
concepts as well as alternative site considerations of the proposed facility.
These alternatives were presented, along with preliminary cost estimates, to the Task
Force. The Task Force recommended a two storey concept with responding fire
vehicles entering onto Earl Stewart Drive.
Two storey concept was recommended by the Task Force to the Joint Council
Committee
On September 26, 2017, Thomas Brown Architects Inc. presented the alternative
concepts and the recommended two storey concept, with associated cost estimates to
the members of the Joint Council Committee.

Item R3

November 14, 2017 Page 3 of 5 Report No. PRCS17-041
Members provided input at the meeting as well as being provided an opportunity to
contact the Fire Chief with any concerns or issues they had with the concept presented
or request additional information.
Approvals were not requested at that meeting.
Refinement of the concept design
Following the JCC presentation on September 26, 2017, the Architect and the Fire staff
have continued to meet and refine the design. The facility Task Force were presented
with these design refinements on October 17, 2017. Preliminary cost estimates were
also provided at that meeting for review.
Task Force recommends to the Joint Council Committee that the concept design
be approved and the project proceed to Phase 2
The Task Force is satisfied that the concept design has reached a stage where
approval could be recommended that the preliminary cost estimates are aligned with the
budget. Phase 2 of the project as outlined in the RFP engages the architect to
complete a detailed design, construction drawings and specifications and preparation of
tender documents. Completion of Phase 2 is estimated to take 5-6 months.
The project continues to be within acceptable budget tolerances subject to a final
design cost estimate
At this point in the design phase, preliminary budget estimates are slightly over budget;
however, several items within the overall budget are only estimated and, as the project
details become more refined, so will the budget estimates.
Staff are confident that the project can be delivered at this time within the approved
overall budget.
Next steps upon receiving Joint Council Committee recommendations are
presentations and approvals from the Town of Aurora Council and the Town of
Newmarket Council
This being a joint project, the Joint Council Committee recommendations will require
approval from both Aurora and Newmarket Council’s. Council approval is required to
authorize staff to proceed to Phase 2 and acceptance of the concept changes. The
Architect will be asked to make a presentation to each Council as part of this approval
process.

Re: Affordable Housing Plan
Whereas the province has legislated the Affordable Housing Act 2016, an Act that
allows for a Strategy to meet demands for affordable units; and
Whereas the Act does provide the framework, however there is further direction
required from municipalities in order to meet the demand in affordable rental stock; and
Whereas the Town of Aurora has approved Secondary Suites; and
Whereas the Act, works best where there is urban growth; and
Whereas, the York Region Local Municipal Housing Working Group has been exploring
options to address housing supply and affordability issues and to develop an affordable
ownership and rental housing incentives framework; and
Whereas the Ministry of Municipal Affairs with the Ministry of Housing have signalled
they will include Inclusionary Zoning, which is a discretionary tool for Municipalities to
employ, to require private-market development to include below-market-rate rental
and/or ownership housing; and
Whereas planning and thinking before funding programs become available is a sound
strategic investment of resources, and creates clarity and certainty for Municipalities;
and
Whereas Rental Stock allows for all ranges of incomes aging in a familiar community
and revenue opportunities;
1.Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That staff report back with municipal
guidelines for affordable housing, for our Official Plan policies and Zoning By-laws;

Re: Pedestrian Traffic Calming
Whereas the Town of Aurora supports active transportation, safe traffic calming
measures and safe pedestrian crossings; and
Whereas an Icelandic town has employed ingenious painted crossing patterns for
pedestrians to be safer at crossings and more heavily pedestrian traffic areas like
school zones and parks; and
Whereas the crossing intersections are 3-D and appear to be raised concrete pads that
would raise vehicle operators’ attention to slow down;
1.Now Therefore Be it Hereby Resolved That staff be directed to prepare an
information report regarding the suitability and advisability of installing raised
pedestrian crossings, and the estimated cost for up to five installations with an
identified capital funding source; and
2.Be It Further Resolved That the report be completed in time for the 2018 Budget
deliberations, to be implemented in the spring of 2018.

And whereas the Council of the Town deems it necessary and expedient to enact a by-
law setting out the fees and charges for municipal services, activities and the use of the
property within the Town of Aurora;
Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Aurora hereby

2. Council hereby delegates to the Chief Administrative Officer and any head of a
department, or any of their designates, the authority to waive, reduce, or
otherwise vary the fee(s) or charge(s) imposed by their department.
3. Any person who obtains any of the Town’s services, activities, or use of the
Town’s property as described in the Schedules shall pay to the Town the
applicable fees or charges set out in the Schedules. Unless otherwise provided

7. The Treasurer shall add the fees and charges imposed pursuant to this By-law to
the tax roll for any real property in the Town for which all of the owners are
responsible for paying fees and charges under this By-law and collect them in
the same manner as municipal taxes.
8. If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any provision, or any part of a
provision of this By-law to be invalid, or to be of no force and effect, it is the
intention of Council in enacting this By-law, that each and every other provision
of this By-law authorized by law, be applied and enforced in accordance with its
terms to the extent possible by law.
9. Payment for any fees, charges and any applicable interest shall be accepted in
the form of Canadian currency, debit, money order or cheque made payable to

Prepared by: Christina Nagy-Oh, Program Manager Environmental Initiatives
Department: Infrastructure and Environmental Services
Date: November 14, 2017
Recommendation
1. That Report No. IES17-041 be received for information.
Executive Summary
The purpose of this report is to provide Council additional information regarding the
development of a Community Energy Plan for The Town of Aurora. Development of the
CEP is required for Aurora to have access to Municipalities for Climate Innovation
Program, up to $10 million, and estimated at $1.8 billion from the Cap and Trade
Program.
Background
On April 25, 2017 Council passed the following Resolution:
Whereas municipalities around the world are taking the lead on climate
change with sustainable and responsible policies that will reduce their Carbon
Footprint; and
Whereas municipalities are developing Energy Plans that are both
environmentally progressive and economically viable; and
Whereas Aurora’s Infrastructure and Environmental Services (IES) Project 10-
Year Plan has already allocated $100,000 for such a potential project, for
future Budget consideration; and
Whereas the Provincial Ministry of Energy has established, and is funding
through the Ministry of Environment, a Municipal Energy Plan Program, which
Additional Items to Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, November 14, 2017
Item R4
Page 1 of 7
November 14, 2017 Page 2 of 7 Report No. IES17-041
may offer municipalities matching funds of up to $90,000 to support the
development of a Community Energy Plan; and
Whereas Newmarket’s Community Energy Plan received $90,000, Markham’s
received $90,000, and Vaughan’s received $54,000;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That staff be directed to prepare a
Terms of Reference and a budget for a Community Energy Plan for
Council’s consideration as part of the 2018 Budget.
Analysis
Community Energy Plan vs Corporate Environmental Action Plan vs Corporate
Energy Management Plan
The Town has two existing environmental plans. The Corporate Environmental Action
Plan (CEAP) and the Corporate Energy Management Plan (CEMP). Both of these plans
consider only actions that the corporation is required to do regarding the facilities, fleet,
town owned land, staff, town events, purchasing, staff related travel and actions
whereby the corporation interacts with the environment. Neither of these plans
consulted with local businesses, schools, local energy or natural gas distribution
companies, other governmental organizations in their development, goals or
implementation considerations. Neither of the Town’s existing plans encourage
developing relationships, circles of influence, community programs that have the ability
to encourage or influence behaviour change within the community. Examples:
• Green development policies can encourage greater sustainable development
from the building community;
• Energy retrofit incentive programs can encourage residents to modify their
homes in a more energy efficient manner; and
• Implementing recycling or composting waste stream programs in high rise
buildings, schools and creating or partnering in education and awareness of
these programs all impact the carbon footprint of the Town as a whole.

Item R4
Page 2 of 7
November 14, 2017 Page 3 of 7 Report No. IES17-041
Corporate Environmental Action Plan (2010) is a five-year action plan that allows the
Corporation of Town of Aurora to meet its environmental goals. Purpose:
• Protect and enhance the natural environment;
• Promote environmental sustainability, integrity and conservation of resources;
and
• Create a practice of environmental stewardship within the community
Corporate Energy Management Plan (2013) is a five year plan that the corporation
will take to increase its energy efficiency, reduce its energy consumption, and minimize
its environmental footprint. The Town’s vision is to establish a culture of energy
conservation, while contributing to global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This
plan is intended to assist the Town in complying with the corporate energy management
planning requirements of Ontario Regulation 397/11 under the Green Energy Act (2009)
A Community Energy Plan (CEP) is a comprehensive long-term plan that serves to
define community priorities around energy. It explores how energy is and could be used,
generated, and delivered in the community now and into the future. It aims to improve
energy efficiency, reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, and foster green
energy solutions at the local level, while helping to plan ahead for the future growth and
development, energy generation, delivery and use in a community.
Funding Options for CEP development
Staff plan to apply for funding to develop the CEP to a secondary grant source, the FCM
Municipalities for Climate Innovation Program. This grant will not conflict with the MOE
funding that the Town has already been awarded.
Benefits of developing a CEP
The CEP will play a key role in attracting quality investment, in ensuring reliable and
affordable energy, in reducing environmental impacts and in enhancing Aurora’s
competitiveness. Additional CEP benefits are:
• Improve energy efficiency;
Additional Items to Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, November 14, 2017
Item R4
Page 3 of 7
November 14, 2017 Page 4 of 7 Report No. IES17-041
• Retain energy dollars within the community;
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
• Improve resident health through improved air quality and increased active
transportation;
• Foster local sustainable energy solutions in the community;
• Support local economic development and green job creation;
• Design a local energy strategy for a more sustainable, energy secure future;
• Reduce energy costs and direct these savings to other community priorities;
• Foster innovation and leadership in energy planning and renewable energy
development;
• Support greener development and greener transportation system; and
• Support energy innovation, economic competitive advantage, local investment.
Aurora’s motivation to develop a CEP
• Requirement to apply for funding programs – financial incentives available
through the GHG Reduction Challenge Fund (up to 10 Million);
• Development of the CEP is required for Aurora to have access to the Municipal
Challenge Fund, estimated at $1.8 Billion, from the Cap and Trade Program;
• CEPs required for Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) Campaign Milestones.
61 Ontario Municipalities are registered for the PCP program;
• Job creation from energy efficiency, energy generation and associated products
and services; and
• Solar, wind, combined heat and power opportunities.
Many municipalities have developed CEPs in Ontario and Canada
Over the past five years an increasing number of municipalities across Ontario and
Canada have undertaken the development of CEPs: Mississauga, Sudbury, Kingston,
Temiskaming Shores, Chatham Kent, Newmarket, Markham, Windsor, Middlesex
Centre, Bayham, Toronto, Kenora, Durham Region, Waterloo Region, Kitchener,
Cambridge, Waterloo, Woolwich, Wellesley, North Dumfries, Ajax, Brock, Clarington,
Oshawa, Pickering, Scugog, Uxbridge, Whitby, Burlington, Sault Ste. Marie, Caledon,
Guelph and London.
Currently CEPs are being implemented in Kingston, Vaughan, Chatham-Kent, Sault
Ste. Marie, Wawa, Temiskaming Shores, Woodstock, Halton Hills, and Oakville.

Other municipalities experience and benefits in developing and implementing
CEPs
Town of Halton Hill’s states that their Community Energy Plan fulfils the first three
milestones of the FCM Partners for Climate Protection program by:
• Creating a community-wide greenhouse gas emissions inventory;
• Setting a greenhouse gas emission reduction target; and
• Identifying actions that need to be taken to achieve greenhouse gas reductions.
For the community as a whole, the Energy Plan sets the following targets:
• 35% reduction in per capita greenhouse gas emissions by 2031– compared to
2011 levels.
• 14% reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions by 2031.
Implementation is projected to:
• Reduce annual energy costs by $17 million ($271 in total).
• Create over 200 new jobs.
Newmarket has a 2018 budget request in for the implementation of their CEP.
Newmarket was mandated to do the CEP through the Region’s OP and Newmarket’s
Secondary plan. Benefit to preparing plan is access to grant funding. Staff said that they
had a good experience creating the plan. The Newmarket Energy Efficiency Retrofit
Program has been set up to generate a return on investment or at the least be cost
neutral to the Town. The business case to prove this has not been completed to date.
York Region’s Climate- Related Initiatives
York Region will be developing a region-wide MEP as a component of the York Region
Climate Change Action Plan. This will be developed through the Municipal
Comprehensive review and will address energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
across a broad range of sectors including residential, commercial, industrial and
transportation sources. It will also inform official plan policy development to ensure
alignment between growth management, built environment and energy planning
decisions to support improved community resiliency.
Local Municipalities in York Region are required to develop their own Energy
Conservation and Demand Management Plans under the Green Energy Act, 2009 and
Ontario Regulation 397/11. Local Municipalities are also encouraged to develop
Municipal energy plans through the Ministry of Energy. The Regional Community
Energy Plan will leverage and build upon existing community energy plans developed
by the Town of East Gwillimbury, Markham, Newmarket and Vaughan.

Link to Strategic Plan
The proposed program update supports the Strategic Plan Goal of Supporting
Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability and the objectives of encouraging
the stewardship of Aurora’s natural resources and promoting and advancing
green initiatives.
Alternative(s) to the Recommendation
Not applicable.
Conclusions
It is an opportune time for Aurora to develop a Community Energy Plan, given the
financial incentives available for energy efficiency measures from the Ministry of Energy
& Climate Change. Development of a CEP is required for Aurora to have access to
Municipalities for Climate Innovation Program, up to $10 million and the estimated $1.8
billion, from the Cap and Trade Program. These incentives will reduce the costs of
implementing the actions identified in the Plan, and will further enhance the financial
benefits of energy efficiency measures for the Town. The CEP is expected to deliver
practical actions that will translate into measurable financial benefits, efficiencies,
reduced operating costs, lower greenhouse gas emissions, community awareness and
corporate leadership. It will not only meet the Towns obligations under the Green
Energy Act, but will also fulfill its commitments under the Federation of Canadian
