MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
2021 Fall & 2022 Winter Community Guide DEPUTY MAYOR’S MESSAGE As summer fades into fall, the Township of South Glengarry continues to look for new ways to bring important services to our residents and business owners. We work hard to provide recreation activities, service upgrades and improve ways of communication. We continue to collaborate with our community partners like the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, Eastern Ontario Health Unit, Boys and Girls Club Cornwall/SDG and many local volunteer-based organizations that help enhance our community everyday. Throughout the guide you will see many advertisements from local businesses and I encourage you to shop locally this holiday season. I am happy to announce a new small business initiative kicking off our holiday shopping tradition with “Plaid Friday”! Stay tuned for more details! The Community Guide is designed to keep you informed on Council meetings, programs, and services offered through the Township and how these services benefit you and your family. Read about the adventures of the Harper family at Summerstown Trails (see page 4) and get the inside scoop on what it’s like to be a South Glengarry Firefighter (see page 28). On behalf of Council and Staff, we hope the guide provides you with the information you need about living in South Glengarry.

Come discover and explore Glengarry Routes - a heritage tour designed to guide you through the intriguing stories of Glengarry’s early settlers. Whether you take travel the St. Raphael or Lancaster Route, there’s something for everyone to discover in Ontario’s Celtic Heartland. Come discover Glengarry’s heritage and be charmed by what is best described as the “Glengarry Mystique.” ************ The Glengarry Routes logo combines the iconic shapes of a trillium and a heart intertwined to form a Celtic knot.

Harper Family Trail Story
Dan Harper, a resident of South Glengarry. first heard that there were groomed skiing trails at the The Harper sisters Summerstown Forest in 2014. Annabelle, Lilly, “I checked it out by renting skis one Saturday Rosalie and Hazel at an evening morning. I loved it, rented a few more times, and outing on the then outfitted the whole family (spouse Amanda, trails. and daughters Annabelle, Lilly and Rosalie) with skis the next winter. The girls started with skis that velcroed onto their boots, then got better equipment when they got a little older. I used to pull them with a toboggan outfitted with pex water pipe for pulling them. Hazel joined us in 2020 and has enjoyed her outings at the trails, again pulled by dad in her new stroller. I volunteered for a while with the FOTST website and have volunteered with the girls at the annual Clean-up Day. The family goes whenever we have some free time, weekend, weeknight, and even early in the morning. Sometimes, we go as a whole family, and sometimes just one or two go. We mostly ski, but occahelps out with the kids’ Jackrabbit program. As our family sionally use the snowshoe trails, and we try to make it out to the moonlight activities whenever we can. has grown up, we have also watched the trails and activAnnabelle and Rosalie took the skate skiing course last ities expand. This winter, we have a goal to try out the fat winter and Annabelle took a ski instructor course and now bikes! We are looking forward to the snow!”

Wastewater HOW DOES MY WASTEWATER GET TO THE TREATMENT PLANT? From most residence, all your wastewater is gravity fed to a township owned pumpstation, from there they are pumped directly to our wastewater plants where we can begin the treatment process.
HOW IS MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER TREATED AND RELEASED? Municipal wastewater is one of the largest sources of pollution, by volume, to surface water in Canada. Municipal wastewater receives treatment before being released into the environment.
WHERE DOES MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER GO AFTER IT IS TREATED? Once municipal wastewater is treated it is then released back into a receiving waterbody.
HOW DO WE CONFIRM THE WASTEWATER IS SAFE TO BE RELEASED BACK TO THE ENVIRONMENT? With trained operators we monitor both influent and effluent of the treatment facility to confirm that our system is working as designed. Samples are also collected weekly and sent to an accredited lab for analysis.
HOW TO BECOME AN OIT? (OPERATOR IN TRAINING) Schooling that covers chemistry, math and regulation will both be an asset and assist in training hours to upgrade from an OIT to a Level 1 Certified operator. After receiving a basic understanding of the processes for water and wastewater you can complete a test to become and OIT (OWWCO)
roads
HOW MUCH SALTING/PLOWING DOES THE TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH GLENGARRY CONDUCT? The winter maintenance crews are responsible for clearing: 384 km of roads for salting/plowing operations. (154 Asphalt, 84 Surface Treated, 146 Gravel)
WHAT DOES A ROUTINE SNOW EVENT LOOK LIKE FOR TOWNSHIP CREW? Patrol staff monitoring the weather and road conditions will make the call to send out snow crews. A call will be made to the Lead Hand staff member who will call the snow crew operators and contractors. Once all snow equipment is checked for safety measures and loaded with snow clearing material (salt), the operators will be assigned their equipment. Depending on the road conditions, the salt application rate is monitored through a spreader control unit. Each truck is assigned a route. All trucks are tracked by GPS to ensure streets are not missed. Once the operator has completed their assigned route, they will be asked to assist other routes (if required) in order to ensure the safety of our residents and community.
WHO/WHAT DETERMINES THE SCHEDULE FOR CLEARING STREETS? Example Answer: Yes, The Township staff receive detailed weather forecast 3 times within a 24-hour period. This allows staff to monitor the winter conditions, plan and prepare for the tasks ahead. During storm advisory situations, weather forecasts are updated more often while staff continue to monitor weather radar images from Environment Canada.
I THINK THE PLOWS MISSED MY STREET? Example: Crews take extra care to ensure that no streets are missed. Occasionally streets can be missed due to technological errors (GPS). If this has occurred, please let our Township office know by calling 613-347-1166. Snow crews will be notified and arrangements will be made to have the street cleared.
THE SNOW PLOW DAMAGED MY LAWN, WHAT DO I DO? The Township makes an effort to minimize damage made by snowplows during winter maintenance. During snow events, operators face many challenges including limited lighting, visibility, pedestrians and parked cars/obstructions. Sometimes these factors can cause damage to your property. If your lawn/property is damaged by snow clearing vehicles, please call the Township of South Glengarry at 613-347-1166. Reception will take down your name and address and forward the information to our Manager of Roads. The address will then be reviewed and tracked (with photos) for repair in the spring. The repair process usually begins mid-April and may last until late May. The repair schedule varies due to the severity of the winter season and other weather-related damages. www.southglengarry.com

Contact our staff to inquire if your document can be signed electronically. • Our Corporate Services staff are currently completing a review of our paper records and filing system, with an eye on moving towards the digitization or all records management. This will result in overall savings and will increase our ability to quickly and efficiently respond to records requests.

• You do the work • The Township pays you • You donate the money to the Township • The Township can issue you a charitable receipt 3. Non-Cash Gifts: If you wish to have a charitable receipt issued for a non-cash gift, it must reflect the Fair Market Value (FMV). If the amount is less than $1,000, we’ll solicit a third party who is knowledgeable and qualified to determine the value. If the Township cannot determine the FMV, we cannot issue a receipt. FMV is the highest amount between informed, prudent, independent people in an open and unrestricted market between two willing participants. 4. Event: When hosting an event where the proceeds go to the Township and the cost of running the event is 80% or less of the ticket value, the Township can issue a receipt. This is the most complicated type of donation and we encourage you to contact the municipal Treasurer.

Driving Tips Winter driving can sometimes be a daunting task, especially when conditions are snowy or icy. If road conditions are dangerous, consider making alternate travel arrangements or postponing your trip until conditions improve. Follow these steps to keep yourself safe and collision free during the next few blustery winter months.
Make sure that your vehicle is prepared for winter driving
Winter tires are a good option, as they will provide greater traction under snowy or icy conditions. Keep a snow brush/scraper in your car, along with possible emergency items such as a lightweight shovel, battery jumper cables, and a flashlight. Make sure that mirrors, all windows, and the top of your vehicle, are free of snow or frost before getting onto the road.
Drive smoothly and slowly
Don’t make any abrupt turns or stops when driving. Doing so will often cause your vehicle to lose control and skid. Driving too quickly is the main cause of winter collisions. Be sure to drive slowly and carefully on snow and ice covered roads.
Don’t tailgate
Tailgating becomes much worse in winter weather. Stopping takes much longer on snowy and icy roads than on dry pavement, so be sure to leave enough room between your vehicle and the one in front of you.
Lights On
Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.
No Cruise Control
Never use cruise control if conditions are snowy, icy, or wet, because if your car hydroplanes, your car will try to accelerate and you may lose control of your vehicle.
Don’t “pump” the brakes
Brake slowly to reduce speed before entering turns. Once you have rounded the corner you can accelerate again.
If your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), do not “pump” the brakes. Apply constant pressure and let the system do its work.
Learn how to control skids
Pay attention
Brake before making turns
When skidding, you actually need to go against your natural instincts and turn into the skid and accelerate. Doing so transfers your vehicle’s weight from the front to the rear and often helps vehicles to regain control.
Manoeuvres are more difficult to make in the snow. Be sure to anticipate what your next move is going to be to give yourself lots of room for turns and stopping.

Trim the Tree with Fire Safety
• When choosing a real tree, pick one that is freshly cut: Needles should NOT fall off when touched. • Make a fresh cut five centimetres (two inches) off the base of the trunk before placing the tree in the stand. • Add water to the tree stand every day • Make sure the tree is at least one metre (three feet) away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights. • Discard the tree when it dries out and large amounts of needles begin to fall off.
