Re: Bee City Canada Designation
Moved by Mayor Dawe
Seconded by Councillor Kim
Whereas the goal of the Bee City Canada designation is to promote healthy,

Whereas bees and other pollinators around the globe have experienced
dramatic declines due to land fragmentation, habitat loss, use of pesticides,
industrialized agriculture, climate change and the spread of pests and
diseases, with serious implications for the future health of flora and fauna; and
Whereas cities, townships, and First Nations communities and their residents
have the opportunity to support bees and other pollinators on both public and
private land; and
Whereas supporting pollinators fosters environmental awareness and
sustainability, and increases interactions and engagement among community
stewards; and
Whereas by becoming a Bee City, The Town of Aurora, can highlight initiatives
already in place and further engage local communities in an environment of
creativity and innovation which will promote a healthier life for our community;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That staff be directed to pursue the
Bee City Canada designation for The Town of Aurora.

Whereas the Greenbelt is an integral component of land use planning that
complements the Growth Plan to encourage smart planning, the reduction of
sprawl, protection of natural and hydrological features and agricultural lands;
and
Whereas the Greenbelt has protected 1.8 million acres of farmland, local food
supplies, the headwaters of our rivers and important forests and wildlife habitat
for more than 12 years; and
Whereas a permanent Greenbelt is an important part of the planning for
sustainable communities; and
Whereas there is a tremendous amount of land already planned and available
in excess of the development needs of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)
without weakening the protections provided by the Greenbelt; and
Whereas efforts to open the Greenbelt to create the opportunity for land
speculators to build expansive homes, at immense profits, in remote areas;
and
Whereas opening the Greenbelt would move the urban boundary thus creating
more sprawl and increased traffic; and
Whereas the costs of sprawl result in increased taxes, because 25% of the
costs of sprawl are downloaded to existing property tax payers; and
Whereas programs like the proposed inclusionary zoning regulations will assist
municipalities in advancing the supply of affordable housing stock without the
need to expand the built boundary;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That the Town of Aurora stands
with its municipal neighbours to undertake continued action to maintain
and grow the current Greenbelt, of which the Oak Ridges Moraine is a
part; and
2. Be It Further Resolved That the Province be strongly urged to extend
Greenbelt protection to include the appropriate white belt lands within the
inner ring, lands that are the most immediately vulnerable to development
in the province; and

Re: Outdoor Sports Field Strategy
Moved by Councillor Abel
Seconded by Councillor Gaertner
Whereas the 2016 Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified facility
pressures, namely outdoor sports fields, in both soccer and baseball; and
Whereas staff suggested that managing the needs may be accommodated
through land acquisition and partnership opportunities; and
Whereas staff also suggested that there may be opportunities of repurposing
fields that are under-utilized; and
Whereas it is in the Town's best interest to encourage outdoor field sport
participation opportunities for all Town of Aurora residents; and
Whereas a Sports Field Strategy would ensure public awareness and access
of the Town's outdoor sport facilities for its residents; and
Whereas a Sports Field Strategy would provide high quality sports surfaces for
sports field user groups in the community, and ensure guidelines are
developed that promote and support field sport that is integrated with the
Town's economic and tourism plans; and
Whereas a Sports Field Strategy would encourage and facilitate innovative
and cooperative partnerships for the delivery of outdoor field sports programs
in the community; and

The objectives of this project were to develop a revised list of tree and shrub species that may be used to
improve the effectiveness and success of restoration, afforestation, Low Impact Development (LID) and
stormwater management plans in the watershed; incorporate the changes into LSRCA programming; and
transfer that knowledge to municipalities, conservation authorities and environmental non-government
organizations (ENGOS) within the Lake Simcoe watershed and beyond.
