Having spent 20 years on Bay Street working closely with many of the world’s leading institutional fund managers, we knew that the next 20 years wouldn’t look like the last 20 – which has certainly proven to be the case so far. Your portfolio should adapt accordingly.

I was born and raised in the Collingwood area, and I have put my decades of expertise to work in the community that I love, serving clients locally, throughout the GTA and across the country. With vast resources, a wide-ranging network of specialists and knowledge of alternative investments, I can help you secure the financial future you’ve envisioned.

Drive Down Your Insurance Costs

CAA MyPaceTM is a simple way to potentially reduce what you’re paying for insurance without changing your driving habits. Introduced in 2018, CAA MyPace is Canada’s only pay-as-you-drive insurance payment program and has helped Canadians save an average of 50% compared to traditional auto insurance.

With many of us spending less time behind the wheel these days, the program gives you the freedom to pay only for the distance you need, and nothing more.

How does CAA MyPace work?

1. Enroll in CAA MyPace and pay your base rate plus your first 1,000 kilometres.

2. Install the CAA MyPace device in your car.

3. Download the CAA MyPace app to your smartphone. You can monitor your usage at any time by logging in to your CAA Account online and/or via the CAA MyPace mobile app.

4. Drive. We’ll automatically reload your next 1,000 kilometres for you.

The data captured will not be used to increase insurance premium rates or monitor driver’s movements. It is only being used to allow customers to monitor their mileage.

Whether you’re driving short distances or keeping your vehicle parked for prolonged periods of time, if you’re driving less than 12,000 km per year, cost savings should be one of your rewards.

Plus, should driving amounts increase, CAA MyPace policyholders can always switch to traditional CAA Auto insurance without penalty or fees.

Why does Ontario need a pumped storage project?

Ontario's electricity demand is increasing!

As we transition away from fossil-fuel generation we must prepare now to ensure our electricity supply and infrastructure can meet future demand.

Emission-free power generation, such as nuclear, wind and hydro, often generates electricity when it’s not needed and not available when consumers want it.

Using water and gravity, this project is effectively a natural battery that will store electricity for when it is needed most. It is a made-in-Meaford solution that will provide clean, reliable, secure and cost-effective electricity for all of Ontario.

Trust The Numbers.

Canada’s population has grown at almost twice the rate of the other G7 countries since 20161 and is expected to grow by 500,000 annually2. In addition, the average size of households has been steadily shrinking, resulting in a tremendous increase in the need for housing. An additional 3.5 million homes beyond what would normally be constructed will be required across Canada by 2030, with Ontario alone requiring 1.8 million new homes to be constructed3.

Cameron Stephens Mortgage Capital Ltd. (CSMC), the Manager of Cameron Stephens Mortgage Trust (CSMT), is a leading non-bank real estate lender that has been providing residential land, development, and construction financing for the past 19 years to help Canada address its housing shortage.

Established in 2004, CSMC has $3 billion in assets under management, of which $2.4 billion is institutional capital and $600 million is private capital. Known for its prudent investment philosophy, strong underwriting, innovative deal structuring,

and exceptional performance track record, CSMC provides win-win outcomes for developers and investors.

As part of CSMC’s strategy to expand and diversify its business, CSMT was created in 2019 to provide CSMC with an additional source of private capital. One of the key features of CSMT is that it coinvests in equal priority on the majority of transactions with CSMC’s flagship family office fund, which is comprised of 7 families who have extensive real estate knowledge and experience. Additionally, since CSMT is a private fund, its lack of correlation with public markets and no anticipated unit price volatility provides additional stability.

CSMT has a diversified portfolio of primarily first mortgages, with a focus on residential land, development, and construction to keep up with Canada’s ongoing demand for housing. CSMT pays monthly distributions, which provide investors with a consistent source of cash flow. CSMT also offers attractive riskadjusted returns, with a target annual net return of 9.00%* and a weighted average

MEGAPROJECT

ON GEORGIAN BAY MEGAPROJECT THE

Inside TC Energy’s plan for a

pumped storage facility in Meaford.

BY ROGER KLEIN // PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROGER KLEIN

OFFICIALLY, TC ENERGY’S ELECTRICITYSTORING MEGAPROJECT —proposed for the 4th Canadian Division Training Centre on Department of National Defence (DND) land in Meaford—is called the Ontario Pumped Storage Project. TC Energy (TCE) promises the facility will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create jobs and make Ontario’s electricity grid more efficient. Community groups, however, call it Ontario’s

worst energy mistake and a threat to Georgian Bay. Pumped storage works like a large-scale battery, utilizing water and gravity to store energy. TCE is proposing the construction of a 152-hectare reservoir to hold millions of cubic metres of water. During periods of low energy demand, water would be pumped upslope to the reservoir and held before being released back into Georgian Bay to regenerate electricity at times of peak demand.

The drawing and releasing of water would repeat every 24 hours. An underwater, highvoltage cable would run 40 kilometres across the lakebed to Wasaga Beach, where it would connect to the power grid via Hydro One’s Stayner transformer station. TCE predicts the system will be 75-percent efficient and will help lower the province’s greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need for electricity generated from natural gas during periods of peak demand.

The Local Opposition

The public first learned about the pumped storage proposal in December 2019 when crowds of people filled the Meaford Community Centre for an open house meeting hosted by TCE.

At the time, Tom Buck and his neighbours along Cedar Avenue in Meaford were already aware of the plan; they had been approached by representatives from TCE several months earlier. Buck says an existing pumped storage facility in Ludington, Michigan, was used as an example of what was being planned for the Meaford project.

“So we started looking into what Ludington was like and we were horrified. We were horrified that it was killing millions of fish a year and the way it muddied up the water and we couldn’t conceive of that happening on this bay,” Buck recalls.

It didn’t take long before friends and neighbours started to organize against the proposal. The name of their association was the same as their call to

action: Save Georgian Bay. Buck says their mission was to get the word out to neighbouring communities about the proposal.

“We started hosting information sessions about it, we’ve written articles and participated in articles about it. Our mission is to educate the region,” Buck says. Save Georgian Bay also collected more than 3,000 signatures on a petition to try and stop the project. “The Bay is a rare occurrence in our world today and why put that at risk? Why put that pristine bay at risk?” Buck questions.

Their ongoing concerns include the potential impact to fish and threatened or endangered species on land and water, impacts on water quality since many homes in the area use water directly from the Bay and the effects on land values and tourism.

Buck also points out the unusual circumstance that there are homes located below the proposed reservoir which could be catastrophically affected if the containment were to fail. “I asked TCE to identify anywhere else in North America where a project like this was going over the heads of 300 homes or about 1,000 people and they’ve never responded to that question,” Buck says.

The Land

Locally known as the Tank Range, the 4th Canadian Division Training Centre, or 4 CDTC, is a military training area in Meaford. It was created in 1942 when the DND expropriated and purchased the land from area farmers. The 80-square-kilometre property is adjacent to Bayview Escarpment Provincial Park and includes 22 kilometres of Georgian Bay shoreline. The landscape features escarpment cliffs, dense forest and rolling agricultural land, but is not included in the province’s Niagara Escarpment Plan since

it is under federal jurisdiction. In July 2021, TCE reached an agreement with the DND to conduct feasibility studies for the construction of the pumped storage project.

The Company

First incorporated in 1951 as Trans Canada Pipelines, the company—which was later renamed TC Energy—was a 50/50 partnership between Canadian and American interests to build a natural gas pipeline from west to east on Canadian soil. Over the past 70 years, TCE has grown to be an energy juggernaut with total assets of $119 billion. The company owns and controls one of North America’s largest natural gas storage and pipeline networks, which stretches more than 93,000 kilometres through Canada, the United States and Mexico. The company also owns and operates the Keystone Pipeline that connects oil producers in Western Canada to refineries in Texas. TCE is currently building the Coastal GasLink pipeline in British Columbia which will carry liquified natural gas through the Rocky Mountains to a terminal in Kitimat.

Electricity is another energy sector where TCE is heavily invested, owning interests in facilities that generate 4,300 megawatts of electricity, including 48 percent of Bruce Power which supplies Ontario with base load generation of over 50 terawatt hours annually or about onethird of Ontario’s electricity.

In theory, the pumped storage facility could supply up to four terawatt hours of stored electricity to the grid annually and offset about a third of the fossil fuel being used in the province’s energy mix, or 2.8 percent of the total energy output (2021).

According to TCE’s director of power development, John Mikkelsen, the facility would provide a service to the Ontario grid by responding quickly to shifts in demand, which in turn would reduce spikes in energy prices to

Dear readers of On The Bay Magazine:

I appreciate you taking a minute of your time to get to know me. My name is Xerxes and I am a Real Estate Salesperson. While I’ve enjoyed a demanding and dynamic career in Film, TV and advertising and followed my passion as a Yoga Instructor, I have been negotiating real estate deals for my family and friends for 23 years, helping with their real estate profile and wealth management. My journey as a registered salesperson began after I contacted several local agents for selling/buying properties. Through the property I was selling— the home in which I’ve lived and cared for for 14 years and seen through many renovations and customizations—I realized that I wanted special attention to detail to my unique needs when selling my beloved home. I knew I did not want a repeat system!

It was then that I decided to pursue a career in real estate. While getting started in 2018, I sold another property I owned in Toronto and had the highest sold record in direct comparisons for 450 days after. This truly ignited my passion for real estate and I’ve been helping buyers and sellers since 2019 with over $26M sales established in less than 3.5 years. Now I’m bringing that passion and eye for detail to help with your real estate needs. I complete due diligence to understand your needs and determine the best way to market your property. I offer my utmost dedication, impeccable time management and strong negotiating skills. My background in advertising is a unique skill set marketing your property. Best of all, your real estate goals are cared for like my own. I am currently settled near the charming village of Kimberly while enjoying the South Georgian Bay lifestyle. I do travel to the GTA, KW and southwestern Ontario on regular basis per my clients’ desires.

If you love your property and want potential buyers to see it the way you do, then I am excited to join forces and collaborate to sell your home. It would be an honour to meet you in person to offer my expertise and exclusive services in real estate to market your property to the highest industry standards.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

The Future is Wired

“For me, if there’s always that target, that goal, a specific number, you can lose the fun of it.”

—Sean Bechtel, co-owner of VO2 Sports and former professional triathlete

Many people don’t realize that using the bathroom frequently throughout the day (and night) is not normal. It is common but not normal. You don’t have to live like this. There is a quick and easy solution available to you.

Having high frequency does not mean you have a “tiny bladder.” That is a false belief by many. High frequency has a lot to do with the coordination between your brain, bladder muscle (called the detrusor) and your pelvic floor muscles. As we age and go through different stages of life, this trio falls out of sync with each other. They don’t communicate like they used to. How hydrated we are and the foods and drinks we consume can also be part of the cause of frequent bathroom trips. Here’s an easy test. A full bladder should take 8 seconds to empty when you go to the bathroom. That means 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi all the way to 8. If your urine stream is just a few seconds to empty (anything less than 8), your brain signalled too early, and your bladder was not actually full.

The solution, in many cases, requires a “re-boot” of the connection between brain, bladder and pelvic floor, as well as some “re-training” on behaviours we’ve adapted over the years. Remember when you were little and your parents said, “I need you to go just in case”. The “just in case pee” starts training our brain to signal us when we aren’t in fact full. The good news is this can all be rewired and retrained.

UROSPOT – the urological focused clinics in Barrie and Richmond Hill have teams of pelvic health experts that help women and men with different areas of pelvic health, including peeing “all the time”.

They use the most modern Health Canada approved technology; a “magical chair” that re-boots the connection between brain, bladder and pelvic floor. Here’s the best part. You remain fully clothed, and no one is touching you. The chair uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles contracting your pelvic floor over 11,000 times in 28 minutes. That’s right, 11,000 kegels. This stimulation “wakes up” the muscles and restores the neuromuscular connection to the brain. Ultimately changing the signalling of when you need to pee. At UROSPOT, they also work with you to understand what triggers your bladder and what steps you can take to help move away from the “just in case pee.” The goal is to be able to trust your body to signal you correctly. Treatment is partially covered by physiotherapy benefits and can be claimed as a medical expense on your tax return.

UROSPOT is the future of pelvic health. With clinics opening across Canada, they have helped thousands of people with frequency, bladder leaks, urgency, night waking, prolapse and sexual dysfunction. If you’d like to learn more, consultations are complimentary, plus you can try the chair!

Contact UROSPOT today!

My life changed after my first visit. It was as if I’d just gone back to a time in my life when sneezing, outbursts of laughter, sudden movement was not “a thing to worry about”. Give yourself this gift.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO GO, UROSPOT IS THE ONE YOU NEED TO KNOW.

A VACATION THAT FEELS LIKE A HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Royal Harbour Resort is your home away from home, where friends and family create memories that last a lifetime! We’ve been welcoming guests for over 30 years. Located in Thornbury, a quaint town nestled in the heart of The Town of Blue Mountains on the shores of beautiful Georgian Bay, Royal Harbour Resort is a short two-hour drive from the GTHA. Our suites, an oasis of relaxation and comfort, offer a casual ease that welcomes any traveler. Discover a relaxed atmosphere honed over generations of family retreats. Relax and have a comfortable stay in one of our cozy open concept studios or a spacious two-bedroom suite overlooking the Marina and Georgian Bay.

At Royal Harbour Resort, there’s always something going on for all four seasons. From winter sports, fishing, multiple trails for biking or hiking to shopping and eating and so much more. Take a dip in our hot tub or saltwater pool, relax by the gas fireplace in a two-bedroom suite or on our deck with a stunning view of Georgian Bay & Thornbury Harbour. Or spend some time in our comfortable lounge and enjoy a game of billiards on our regulation size pool table.

Many of our guests decide to join the Royal Harbour Resort Family during their stay, realizing the value and privileges of ownership* vs rental.

*Ownership privileges include the ability to exchange your week for another around the world or for a different time at Royal Harbour Resort (Conditions apply).

Owners also have access to reduced rate “Bonus Time” rentals at Royal Harbour Resort that allow you to join us as often as you wish throughout the year. (Subject to availability).

For those who prefer to rent, Royal Harbour Resort will offer you the same warm welcome and a relaxing stay.

Whether you wish to stay for just a night, a weekend, a week, or longer, we’d love to see you!
