That the total approved budget for capital project #12041 “89 Mosley Renewal” be increased to $200,000, representing an increase of $100,000, to be funded from the unallocated interest component of the Aurora Hydro Sale Investment reserve fund, to allow GOW Hastings Architects to proceed with detailed design for the renewal of 89 Mosley Street. Executive Summary • The Aurora Armoury was acquired by the Town in 2014 with the intent to restore the property and secure an appropriate use that supports the Town’s Strategic Plan. • Council has already approved funding to complete the removal of hazardous materials and enhance the mechanical systems in conjunction with an approved provincial grant. • The Town’s Architects have completed a conceptual design that effectively maximizes the short and long term utility of the building, while restoring the heritage elements of the building and strengthening the link between the Armoury and Town Park. • The Town has also been working with a post-secondary partner on a potential business incubator and post-secondary facility in the renovated Aurora Armoury. • Staff will be progressing with the design and renovation of the site with the intent that the facility will be ready by late 2018. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Item R1 Page 1 of 10 November 28, 2017 Page 2 of 7 Report No. PBS17-095 Background The Aurora Armoury (89 Mosley St) is unique in that it is located adjacent to a public park and was designed and operated as an Armoury under the Department of National Defense. The Armoury itself is a heritage structure that represents a significant piece of Canadian and Auroran heritage. The property was acquired by the Town of Aurora in September 2014 with the intent to restore the property and secure an appropriate use that supports the Town’s Strategic Plan priorities. Council has approved funding to complete the removal of hazardous materials and enhance the mechanical systems in conjunction with an approved provincial grant. Moreover, staff have been working to advance three distinct, but related, activities in relation to the 89 Mosley Street property. These activities include: 1. The restoration of the Aurora Armoury; 2. Re-establishing the connection between the Armoury and Town Park; and, 3. Identifying a strategic use for the property. These activities have actively progressed over the past several months. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on these activities for Council and the public. Analysis As previously mentioned, the Aurora Armoury project has been organized into three distinct, but related, activities. These activities are further described below: The Restoration of the Aurora Armoury Staff have been working with GOW Hastings Architects to complete the design for the restoration of the property. The intent of the design was to produce a multi-purpose facility that could be repurposed quickly and efficiently as a municipal facility. The Town’s Architects have completed the conceptual design and related cost estimate that effectively maximizes the short and long term utility of the building, while restoring the heritage elements and strengthening the link between the Armoury and Town Park. In the proposed design, the architects are proposing the building be designed to accommodate three distinct uses concurrently. These uses include: • classroom/meeting space with limited office/administration (northern side of the building); Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Item R1 Page 2 of 10 November 28, 2017 Page 3 of 7 Report No. PBS17-095 • event/reception/multi-purpose space with a small demonstration area (central area in the building); and, • a small teaching kitchen/demonstration area (southern side of the building). These uses are supported by restroom facilities that are accessible both from within the building and by an exterior entrance into Town Park, basic kitchen facilities and limited storage. The proposed renovation envisions the restoration of the exterior elements of the building. The architect has reviewed the available historic documentation related to 89 Mosley St to identify the key historic design elements of the building. Based on this information, the restoration includes maintaining the original building and roof configuration, maintaining or restoring original openings (where possible) and removing and replacing the existing aluminum and vinyl siding with vertical siding that better replicates the original materials and design. The result will be a building that better reflects the original design and function of the property. Re-establishing the link between the Aurora Armoury and Town Park The Town’s Repurposing Study first identified an opportunity to establish a physical and operational connection between the Aurora Armoury and Town Park. The architects also found historic evidence of a connection between the Armoury and Town Park. This connection is reintroduced with the removal of exterior barriers/fencing and the introduction of glass elements within the central areas and proposed extension. As such, a significant goal of the proposed renovation is to reintroduce a connection between Town Park and the Aurora Armoury. The current situation reflects efforts to minimize potential land use conflicts with the use of fencing and signage as well as the historic removal of windows along the western edge of the building. The goal of the design is to remove these barriers and introduce new elements that allow the two properties to better complement each other from both a design and use perspective. This is achieved through the removal of existing fencing and signage as well as the introduction of design elements that improve the interface between the park and the building (i.e. improved access and visibility). Re-establishing the connection between the Armoury and Town Park will create significant opportunities to enhance programming both at the Armoury and Town Park. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Item R1 Page 3 of 10 November 28, 2017 Page 4 of 7 Report No. PBS17-095 Identifying a Strategic Use for the Property – Post Secondary Facility The Town has been working with a post-secondary partner on a potential business incubator and post-secondary facility since the spring of 2016 and the Aurora Armoury was recently identified as the ideal location for the proposed facility. The Armoury site and location aligns well with the partner’s vision for the facility and potential plans for Library Square. The proposed facility will provide professional training opportunities for businesses and residents. This type of training offers significant opportunities for business and community development and aligns well with the Town’s revitalization activities in the Aurora Promenade as well as the feedback received to date through the Cultural Precinct Plan consultation. This is a strategic priority for the Town as outlined in the Strategic Plan and Economic Development Action Plan. Staff also believe that the establishment of the proposed training facility is a necessary first step towards the potential creation of a future larger scale training facility in Aurora. Council has authorized a Lease Agreement with the proposed partner for the use of the Armoury that is in the process of being finalized. Staff will provide additional information on the post-secondary partnership and related lease agreement once it has been finalized. Advisory Committee Review Staff intend to present the conceptual design for the Armoury to the Town’s Heritage Advisory Committee. Financial Implications The Armoury Building at 89 Mosely was purchased by the Town in 2014 for a net purchase transaction cost of $524,000. A current project in the amount of $100,000 was approved for the preliminary interior conceptual design of a community use space. Concurrently, a capital project in the amount of $275,000 was approved to begin the process of interior abatement of hazardous materials, and upgrading of mechanical systems, funded in part by Canada 150 grants. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Item R1 Page 4 of 10 November 28, 2017 Page 5 of 7 Report No. PBS17-095 This report seeks to increase the design project budget by $100,000 to a total of $200,000 to be funded from the unspent interest component of the Aurora Hydro Sale Investment reserve fund. This fund has balances available as follows: Unspent interest component as at December 31, 2016 $ 4,715,106 Unspent principal component as at November 23, 2017 $31,521,221 Total funding available for allocation by Council subject to Bylaw 5439-12 $36,236,627 When using the unspent interest components of this reserve fund towards Strategic Plan priorities, no special notice or voting requirements of the reserve fund bylaw apply. The proposed total renovation project is currently estimated to cost approximately $4,000,000 including contingency, landscaping and other potential costs related to the integration of the site into Town Park. These costs are within the range that was previously anticipated for the project. Options for funding sources include use of one or a combination of the following options: • internal financing • external financing • Cash in Lieu of Parkland reserve fund • Community Benefit reserve fund • Council Contingency reserve fund • Aurora Hydro Sale Investment reserve fund. A separate report will be forthcoming outlining options and recommendations for funding sources for the construction phase of the project. Communications Considerations The Town recognizes that the Armoury holds cultural significance for residents and is committed to developing a comprehensive communications and branding strategy that will keep the community up-to-date on the restoration efforts and, ultimately, serve to promote the Armoury as an important community hub. The Town will utilize all available communication channels to share information and promote enhancements to the Armoury and Town Park. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Item R1 Page 5 of 10 November 28, 2017 Page 6 of 7 Report No. PBS17-095 Link to Strategic Plan This report was prepared in support of the Strategic Plan and directly relates to various key action items. Alternative(s) to the Recommendation Council may choose to not authorize funding to complete the design and restoration of 89 Mosley Street. Conclusions The Aurora Armoury was acquired by the Town in 2014 with the intent to restore the property and secure an appropriate use that supports the Town’s Strategic Plan. The Town’s Architects have completed a conceptual design that effectively maximizes the short and long term utility of the building, while restoring the heritage elements of the building and strengthening the link between the Armoury and Town Park. The Town has been working with a post-secondary partner on a potential business incubator and post- secondary facility and recently approved a Lease Agreement to locate the use in the renovated Aurora Armoury. Staff will be progressing with the design and renovation of the site with the intent that facility can begin operating in late 2018.

RESTORATION OF THE ARMOURY - 89 MOSLEY STREET Attachment 1 - Page 3 Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017Item R1 Page 10 of 10 Town of Aurora Council Report No. CAO17-007 Subject: Branding Concepts for Aurora Armoury Prepared by: Stephanie Mackenzie-Smith, Manager Corporate Communication Department: Office of the Chief Administrative Officer Date: November 28, 2017 Recommendation 1. That Report No. CAO 17-007 be received; and 2. That, subsequent to approval of Report No. PBS17-095, Council endorse Branding Concept A as it relates to promoting the restored Armoury (89 Mosley Street) as a community space. Executive Summary This report seeks Council endorsement for a branding concept that will serve to market and promote a restored Armoury as a unique and historic community space in the heart of Town Park. Background The Town intends to invest $4 million to restore the historic Armoury building. The restored building will be reclaimed as community space and reintegrated into the Town Park. The proposed restoration project will see the Armoury accommodating meeting space, event/reception/multipurpose space and a small teaching kitchen. At 144 years old, the Armoury is one of the oldest buildings in Aurora and has long been identified as an important community gathering space. Designated by the Government of Canada as a heritage building, the former militia drill shed has primarily been used in recent years for storage. The Town acquired the building in 2014 with the intention of restoring the property and securing a use that supports the Town’s Strategic Plan. The Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Item R2 Page 1 of 8 November 28, 2017 Page 2 of 4 Report No. CAO17-007 proposed investment will restore many of the building’s heritage features and open up the building into Town Park so it can once again take pride of place in our community. Analysis The Town intends to actively promote the Armoury as a community gathering space The proposed restoration presents significant opportunities for the Town to enhance programming options at the Armoury and partner with community groups to fully realize the potential of Town Park and the Armoury as a central hub in our community. It is the intent of the Town to actively promote and market the restored Armoury and, as such, we require a strong brand to serve as the cornerstone of a comprehensive communications and marketing plan to attract community groups, visitors and partners to the space. A unique branding concept will also enable the Town to promote the Armoury as part of our historic downtown core and assist in revitalizing the Aurora Promenade. Proposed Branding elements reflect history of the Armoury The proposed branding concepts, including the recommended Branding Concept A, purposely contain elements that reflect and respect the Armoury’s history and create a classic and recognizable brand. The building was previously home to the Queen’s York Rangers and the navy blue and gold used in the designs are taken from their crest. The font is consistent with the Town of Aurora brand but has an aged treatment as a nod to the age of the building. The pitched roof element illustrates the iconic outline of the building and the vertical lines pay homage to the original linear siding which is intended to be restored. Finally, the date the Armoury was built is included to reinforce the historic significance of the building. Advisory Committee Review N/A Financial Implications Branding concepts have been created in-house at no cost over and above staff time. Branding at the site of the Armoury, including signage, will be incorporated into the restoration costs. At this time, there are no significant financial implications. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Item R2 Page 2 of 8 November 28, 2017 Page 3 of 4 Report No. CAO17-007 Communications Considerations The Town recognizes that the Armoury holds cultural significance for residents and is committed to developing a comprehensive communications and branding strategy that will keep the community up-to-date on the restoration efforts and, ultimately, serve to promote the Armoury as an important community hub. The Town will utilize all available communication channels to share information and promote enhancements to the Armoury and Town Park. Link to Strategic Plan This plan will assist in supporting the following Strategic Plan goals: •Vision: An innovative and sustainable community where neighbours care and businesses thrive •Community Goal: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all •Economy Goal: Enabling a diverse, creative and resilient economy Alternative(s) to the Recommendation 1.Council may choose Branding Concept B 2.Council may choose Branding Concept C 3.Council may choose not to move forward with developing a brand identity for the Armoury at this time. Conclusions The Town is looking to actively promote the proposed restoration of the Armoury and intends to create a comprehensive communications and branding strategy to support the future vision for the building and contribute to its long-term success as an integral and valuable part of the Aurora community.

This is the final year of a four-year budget plan that coincides with the current term of Council. For 2018, the proposed budget of $3 billion is comprised of $2.2 billion in operating spending and $810 million in capital spending. The budget proposes a tax levy increase of 2.77 per cent for 2018, equivalent to an additional $65 on the average residential property tax bill. The budget reflects sound public policy and delivery of high quality public services to the Region’s residents including infrastructure, policing and social services. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Regional Report Page 2 of 14 In addition to the budget, an option was presented to create a new Roads Capital Acceleration Reserve. Council will also consider an additional tax levy of one per cent in 2018. This would result in priority road projects to proceed sooner without increasing external debt. More information on this option will be presented at the Committee of the Whole meeting on December 7. The proposed 2018 budget will be reviewed at the Committee of the Whole meetings on November 30 and December 7. It is scheduled to be forwarded to Council for approval on December 14. Legalization of Recreational Cannabis York Regional Council endorsed a resolution addressing Bill 174 – Cannabis, Smoke-Free Ontario and Road Safety Statute Law Amendment Act, 2017. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) has been actively working with municipalities to understand the impacts of cannabis legislation and to advocate for regulatory framework that would minimize adverse impacts on municipalities. Council supported AMO’s advocacy for funding and resources as follows: • Ensure that municipal governments are fully funded on a cost-recovery basis and provided the necessary supports for implementation and enforcement of the recreational cannabis use • Ensure the Ministry of Health and Long-Term care provide 100 per cent funding for public health programs to support programs related to the implementation of legalized recreational cannabis • Ensure municipal governments receive an appropriate portion of sales and tax revenue from the sale of recreational cannabis to fund the impacts on services and program • Ensure municipalities responsible for operating POA Courts retains all fine revenue associated with POA offences under Ontario’s Cannabis Act, 2017 In addition, Council adopted and endorsed a resolution put forth by the York Regional Police Service Board that calls on the provincial and federal governments to: • Provide additional funding to the Board to offset the additional expenses that York Regional Police will incur as a result of the Cannabis Act, the Criminal Code amendments and the Ontario Cannabis Act, 2017 Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Regional Report Page 3 of 14 • Establish a stable funding program for cannabis-related law enforcement and to provide sufficient funding to the Board, at a rate of two per cent of the York Regional Police operating budget per annum Bill 174 was introduced on November 7, 2017 and if passed, would regulate the use and distribution of recreational cannabis in Ontario once legalized by the federal government in July 2018. The Ontario government plans to establish an online and in-store retail model through a new established cannabis control board.

Census bulletin highlights include: • York Region’s population grew by approximately 77,400 between 2011 and 2016 • York Region’s share of GHTA population has increased while the pace of growth is slowing • York Region’s senior population (65+) grew by almost 34 per cent from 2011 to 2016 • York Region’s housing stock continues to diversify Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Regional Report Page 4 of 14 • The average persons per unit continues to decline • York Region residents speak more than 120 difference languages Additional bulletins highlighting income, housing, immigration and agriculture trends in York Region and its municipalities can be found on the York Region Census page. York Region uses Census data to provide the basis for York Region’s long-term population and employment forecasts to plan local programs and services, assess community needs and respond to demographic trends. Creating a Regional Climate Change Action Plan York Regional Council received a report outlining a proposed framework and timelines for development of a Regional Climate Change Action Plan. The plan is part of an ongoing effort to address climate change and meet provincial requirements. It is recommended York Region’s official plan address the following: • Urban Structure • Complete communities • Transit and active transportation • Vulnerability/risk assessments and adaptation planning • Stormwater management planning • Green infrastructure/Low impact development • Watershed planning • Natural heritage and water resource system protection • Energy planning • Food security • Protecting the agricultural land base • Low-carbon communities, with a long-term goal of net zero communities The Regional Climate Change Action Plan will be developed through consultation with local municipalities, conservation authorities and the public. It will build on the policies, procedures and community energy plans previously established by local municipalities. An initial version of the Regional Climate Change Action Plan will be presented to Council in the first quarter of 2019. Once finalized, the plan will work alongside the Region’s Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan to offer additional opportunities to implement Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Regional Report Page 5 of 14 greenhouse gas reductions across the organization and the Region’s communities. Holiday Shopping Bylaw The Regional Municipality of York announced it will enact a Holiday Shopping Bylaw to permit local retailers to operate on public holidays, should they choose to do so. The only Region-wide exception is Christmas Day, when all businesses are required to close. The purpose of the bylaw as outlined in the report is to establish a consistent approach to retail operations in York Region. The bylaw will be effective January 1, 2018. For more information view the Holiday Shopping Bylaw York Region provides update on key Water and Wastewater Infrastructure projects York Regional Council received an update on key water and wastewater infrastructure projects required to support growth and maintain infrastructure already in place across York Region’s nine cities and towns. There are more than 140 projects planned or underway, focusing primarily on building the main sewer system and ensuring reliable service while proactively maintaining the current system. Projects highlighted in the report include: •Upper York Sewage Solutions •Duffin Creek Plant •Humber Sewage Pumping Station •Leslie Street Pumping Station Over the next 10 years, York Region is on track to deliver $2.4 billion in environmental infrastructure across all nine local cities and towns. As York Region’s population grows, the water and wastewater system must be able to accommodate residents’ needs. Priority projects are identified and the timing of these projects is aligned to deliver the required capacity to service growth. York Region updates its long-term residual waste strategy Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Regional Report Page 6 of 14 York Regional Council approved a series of actions including contract extensions and amendments to secure additional energy-from-waste and long-term landfill capacity to maintain 90 per cent diversion from landfill and secure the Region’s future waste diversion options. The actions will also provide dependable contingency waste disposal options, while minimizing the Region’s overall carbon footprint. In 2016, York Region diverted 91 per cent of waste from landfill, exceeding its 90 per cent target established in the Regional Official Plan. Based on York Region’s growing population and projected waste generation rates, the Region will need to manage over 180,000 tonnes of material by 2022. York Region partners with LSRCA on phosphorus removal project York Region will partner with Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) to undertake phosphorus removal projects at two stormwater management facilities in northern York Region. By partnering with LSRCA the Region will be better prepared to deliver an alternative and innovative approach to the proposed phosphorus offsetting program while providing maximum environmental benefit to the watershed. The phosphorus offsetting program is an integrated component of the proposed Upper York Sewage Solutions project, that once approved, will accommodate growth in the Region while staying within the phosphorus limits required by the Lake Simcoe Protection Act. York Region is currently awaiting provincial approval to implement the proposed innovative sewage servicing solution that will accommodate growth in the Towns of Aurora, East Gwillimbury and Newmarket. Phosphorus occurs naturally in the environment and is an essential nutrient needed by plants and animals. Although some phosphorus is required to support a healthy aquatic ecosystem, too much phosphorus leads to excessive growth of plants and algae in the lake. Recently, LSRCA developed the Lake Simcoe Phosphorus Offset Program along with the offsetting policy for the entire watershed in an effort to control phosphorus loads throughout the watershed. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Regional Report Page 7 of 14 Enhancing services at Regional Drop-off Waste Depots Beginning January 1, 2018, York Region is revising hours of operation at its Hazardous Waste Depots, Community Environmental Centres and Georgina Transfer Station and will be implementing a weight-based fee of $125 per tonne for residual waste in excess of 100 kilograms. Visitors with less than 100 kilograms of residual waste continue to pay a $10 fee to discard their waste. Based on resident feedback, the revised hours will better meet resident needs and enhance their experience by providing an additional 480 additional hours of service annually, and offer more options to manage their waste disposal needs. Residents will now be provided access to a Hazardous Waste Depot seven days a week. The revised weight-based fee for residual waste is consistent with municipal depots in neighbouring Regions and will not impact residents using local curbside waste collection programs. Once enhancements to the two Community Environmental Centres are complete later this fall, five Regional waste facilities will accept municipal hazardous waste. Update on Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres The Regional Municipality of York received $9.1 million in provincial funding and responsibility for managing York Region’s Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres, effective January 1, 2018. The change comes as part of the Ministry of Education’s efforts towards modernizing the early years sector to better support children and families through integrated, accessible and responsive services. The Region will develop a unique “made in York” plan for existing child and family centres in York Region that ensures access for all residents. There are currently 69 Ministry-funded sites in York Region that provide child and family programming. These sites will be part of the new Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres located throughout the Region to support children, parents and caregivers in learning, growing and connecting together. York Region has more than 71,000 children from birth to 6 years of age, representing 6.9 per cent of the Region’s total population. In 2016 and 2017, more than 104,000 visits were made by children to child and family programs in York Region. Parents and caregivers accounted for an additional 98,000 visits during the same time-frame. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Regional Report Page 8 of 14 Since 2013, York Region has received $31 million in ongoing provincial funding with increased responsibility and flexibility to address local needs. The funding has been used to: • Enhance the provision of high-quality licensed child care through integrated system planning • Decrease waitlists for child care and early intervention services • Build capacity in licensed child care • Administer wage enhancements to better support quality Registered Early Childhood Educators Helping the chronically homeless find a home The Regional Municipality of York received additional provincial funding of $1.5 million over three years to help address chronic homelessness and establish the Home Now program. The program will move people who are chronically homeless into permanent housing as quickly as possible and with no preconditions. Delivered by community agencies on behalf of York Region, Home Now will also provide support for other complex needs typically found in those who are homeless, such as mental health, substance abuse or history of abuse/trauma. Affordable housing is a key priority for York Regional Council. Chronic homelessness refers to individuals who have been homeless for six months within the past year. People who are homeless typically spend lengthy periods of time in emergency housing, seasonal shelters, live in precarious housing situations or sleep in accommodations not fit for human habitations. In 2016, there were 1,554 unique individuals using York Region emergency housing services. Of these, 239 were chronically homeless. In 2012, Council adopted a new vision focused on promoting housing stability by proactively helping people who are homeless to obtain housing and people at risk of homelessness to remain housed. The Region’s commitment for strengthening the service system is outlined in York Region’s 10-Year Housing Plan, Housing Solutions: A place for everyone.

Metrolinx Regional Transportation Plan and Rapid Transit in York Region York Regional Council endorses Metrolinx’s draft 2041 Regional Transportation Plan. The 2041 Regional Transportation plan seeks to align the transportation network in the Greater Toronto Area with land use. To achieve this goal, the plan focuses on five strategies: • Completing the delivery of current Regional transit projects • Connecting more of the GTA with frequent rapid transit and GO Transit’s Regional Express Rail program • Optimizing transportation to address first and last-mile transit connections • Integrating land use and transportation through urban intensification • Preparing for the future with plans to address climate change and incorporate analytics and data York Region staff provided feedback on the Regional Transportation Plan and asked for a few additions to the Regional Transportation Plan including: • Delineating both phases of the Downtown Relief Line project • Include Bus Rapid Transit on Yonge Street north of Davis Drive and on Green Lane to connect to East Gwillimbury GO Station • Include Major Mackenzie Drive, east of Leslie Street to Don Cousins Parkway, as a future bus rapid transit corridor • Opposition to any increase in freight rail traffic through the Region The Regional Transportation Plan is scheduled to be presented to the Metrolinx Board by the end of 2017 and York Region will continue to work with Metrolinx on implementation of this plan. Vaughan Metropolitan Centre’s YRT bus terminal rename York Regional Council approved renaming of “Smart!Centres Terminal – Vaughan Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Regional Report Page 12 of 14 Metropolitan Centre” to “SmartCentres Place Bus Terminal.” Naming rights were granted in 2012 to SmartCentres in return for their contribution to building a tunnel to connect to the subway station as well as arrangements relating to the location of the terminal. The change in property name more closely aligns with their strategic business plan and has no financial impact on the project. 2018 Municipal election policy approved York Regional Council approved two policies pertaining to the upcoming 2018 municipal election: the 2018 Municipal Election Policy regarding the use of municipal resources during the 2018 campaign period and the Municipal Election Recount Policy. Council also approved the creation of a Joint Election Compliance Audit Committee to review, if required, applications from electors with questions regarding campaign finances. The Election Policy encompasses items included in the Municipal Elections Act and is applicable to all candidates running for a seat on Regional Council, members of Regional Council, Registered Third Parties and Regional employees. York Region’s Municipal Recount Policy applies only to an election conducted for the Office of the Regional Chairperson where the successful candidate for Regional Chair is separated from the next closest candidate by 25 or fewer votes. e-bid five-year contract awarded York Regional Council approved a five-year contract to eSolutions Group Ltd. for services relating to the provision of an online bidding platform. This change is an example of the Region’s efforts to modernize and transform our business process. Unlike previous contracts, York Region will not be required to pay a fee for access to the bidding software. Bidders will pay a fee in order to bid on Regional procurements. The estimated savings to York Region by moving to this model is approximately $35,000 over the next three years.
