OVER THE BACK FENCE

Ah ... summer time!

Gypsy moth caterpillars are gone, the leaves are coming back in the trees and the monarch caterpillars are thriving! It’s time to enjoy the great outdoors on my deck! Lazy days in the lounger with a good book and a cold refreshing bevvy or a distanced lunch with a good friend and maybe another cold refreshing bevvy. Now that’s summer in the Kawarthas!

August is prime stargazing time, too! As most of you know, my late husband John was an avid amateur astronomer. One year to celebrate the Perseid Meteor Shower (that’s August 11/12), me, John and our friend Gord set our lawn chairs up on the driveway of our large property north of Buckhorn, got settled in at midnight and began a 4-hour count of meteors.

We’d call out when we saw one and counted them off. I think that night we were over 2,000!

August is also when my little pond of frogs comes to life! The baby frogs (or as I call them, froglets) come out during the day to learn about the sun while Mom and Dad Frog hang out

nearby. My frog pond used to be a koi pond (from the previous owners) but I prefer to give it over to Mother Nature.

It puts a smile on my face and makes me “hoppy.”

Have you been watching the Olympics? I know they’re really different without the crowds this time around, but I’m glad to see the athletes being able to compete. Back in 1994, I worked with CBC Sports and got to meet quite a few amateur athletes when we broadcast the Commonwealth Games. These “kids” train for years for their moment, chasing their dreams of medals and accomplishing a goal. I was in awe of them ... their dedication, strength and perseverance. I have to say, I’m one of these Olympic fans who cheers for Canada in every event, but if we don’t make the podium, I’m still proud. For those who get cranky when our athletes don’t do well, I say, “At least they are there, bucko, while you’re sitting in your comfy chair being critical! Give them credit for accomplishing that!” Go Team Canada, Go! That’s enough musings for now.

Enjoy the long weekend! Be safe out there! editor@thepromoter.ca

BEACH PARK MESS

I spoke to someone named Jenn Johnson at The City of Kawartha Lakes today to ask why the demolition of all the buildings and tearing down of trees for the new Beach Park started very early in the spring and came to a screeching halt a few months later. The massive chunks of cement and the huge trees and roots have all been upheaved and just left there.

We have a cottage on Sturgeon on the south side of the lake and we drive by or walk by this unsightly mess most weekends we are up there.

They tell me it is a construction site and it will be cleaned up closer to the end of the project, which I was told is possibly a year away. Although, saying it will be next summer and having it actually happen is another thing. This will mean we will be driving or walking past this monstrosity for at least another 12 months. Why can’t it be cleaned as up they move ahead with each phase?

The bridge at the locks was supposed to be open in the spring but is still all boarded up.

The bridge on CKL 24, which was closed and supposed to take a year or so to repair, took almost 4 years. Instead of 3 minutes for us to drive to Bobcaygeon, it would take 15 minutes. Very frustrating.

Regardless who is responsible… City of Kawartha Lakes or Provincial or Federal Government, the projects need better and more efficient planning.

SURVEY DEADLINE EXTENDED

The deadline for the City of Kawartha Lakes’ Dock Encroachment Policy online survey has been extended until August 31. This extension will provide an additional month for residents to review the proposed amendments and provide their feedback.

Input gathered through the survey will help update the framework for regulating private docks on municipal property.

After drafting amendments to the Dock Encroachment Policy, staff were directed by Council in March to gather the public’s feedback. Once the survey

closes on August 31, staff will compile the feedback and present their findings to Council in the fall so revisions can be made to incorporate the public’s input before the policy is finalized. It is expected the updated dock licensing process would begin June 2022.

These amendments to the current Dock Encroachment Policy are needed to provide staff with an appropriate framework to address a variety of ongoing concerns, including: the overcrowding of docks, safe distancing from nearby roadways and maintaining the structural integrity of docks and their surrounding municipal infrastructure.

RENT RELIEF

Vulnerable households living in Kawartha Lakes or the County of Haliburton, including people living in community housing, supportive housing, people with low incomes, social assistance recipients and others who are facing eviction due to rental arrears can seek relief.

“We know those who are vulnerable and living in poverty have been further disadvantaged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and are struggling to maintain their housing due to rental arrears,” commented Michelle Corley, Human Services Manager.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Province of Ontario has provided relief to municipalities to help support those most in need. Households are always encouraged to attempt to address their rental arrears through a repayment agreement with their landlord, but if households continue to face eviction due to rental arrears they are encouraged to seek relief in order to keep their housing.

For more information or to apply for rental arrears relief, please contact the City’s Human Services office by phone at 705-324-9870 or 1-877-324-9870 or by email at cklhumanservices@kawarthalakes.ca.

PROJECTS GETS PROVINCIAL INVESTMENT

The Ontario government is investing $94,500 for two local projects in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock to help protect and improve the Great Lakes.

“This is a great initiative to support local projects that protect and restore coastal, shoreline and nearshore areas of the Great Lakes,” said Laurie Scott,

MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock.

These projects are part of 44 community-based projects to receive $1.9 million in funding through the Great Lakes Local Action Fund.

The Haliburton County Community Cooperative will use $50,000 to undertake the Tri-Region Community-Based Benthos Biomonitoring Project and Kawartha Conservation will receive $44,500 to enhance nearshore water quality and aquatic plant management in the Kawartha Lakes, Lake Ontario Drainage Basin.

“The health of the Great Lakes is closely connected to our province’s health and prosperity – supplying water to our communities, sustaining traditional activities of Indigenous peoples and providing healthy ecosystems for recreation and tourism,” said David Piccini, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. “This funding allows local organizations and groups to take environmental actions in their own communities – building a better future for clean, green growth.”

ATV ROUTES STILL A CONCERN

A group of concerned citizens who believe that residents in Lindsay deserve to know the facts and have their say before a proposal on expanded ATV routes is passed is reaching out. They believe that City of Kawartha Lakes Council needs to listen to the experts who have warned against allowing ATVs on roads.

Last month, an ATV route through Lindsay was put on hold by Council to get more input after criticism that residents were not notified and the previous survey by the ORV Task Force was slanted toward increasing ATV access.

A new ATV survey from the Council closes July 30. This survey will serve as a critical decision-making tool to gather input from residents who are most directly impacted by the proposed route. You can find the survey at www.jumpinkawarthalakes.ca.

This group of citizens has also launched a new Residents’ petition on the city’s website, which will be open until August 25. “We appreciate Council extending the consultation process,” said Bill Steffler, a Lindsay resident, adding “we want to make sure that the facts and risks identified by staff and Dr. Bocking’s advice against expanding ATV access on roads is known and understood by the public.”

The petition provides links to the advice from staff and the Medical Officer of Health to Council. The results of the Residents’ petition will be presented to Council on September 7, along with the City’s survey results and any emails and deputations.

Steffler says the ATV and ORV consultation process has been confusing. “Unfortunately the process has been somewhat confusing and, for some, frustrating.

When going door to door common responses have been, ‘I didn’t know about this’ and/or ‘I tried to vote no, but I’m not good with online stuff’.”

The group says that previous responses to ATV routes have all been “no.” “It was an overwhelming ‘NO’ in 2010 to 2012 when the issue was previously

on the table. I urge Council to end this sooner rather than later. Maintain the current bylaw and get on with the City’s Master Plans,” Steffler adds.

While other ATV and ORV routes in Bobcaygeon, Lindsay and on rural roads are deferred, they are not gone. They have been referred back to the ORV Task Force meeting in September with a report back to Council in the last quarter of 2021.

Meanwhile, opposition to expanded routes continues. Dr. Natalie Bocking, the Medical Officer of Health, advised Council against expanding ATV access on roads and reported that the ATV hospitalization rate in Kawartha Lakes is 5 times the Ontario rate and increased significantly over 5 years. She also reported that where ATVs are allowed on roads, “there are higher rates of fatalities and serious injuries for ORV riders on roadways compared to off-roadways”. She stated “certain design characteristics of these vehicles, particularly ATVs, make them unsafe on roadways” and that “being on roadways increases the risk of collisions with other motor vehicles”. Dr. Bocking added “ATV incidents are almost all due to recreational use.”

Changing a bylaw when the ATV hospitalization rate is increasing, against all expert advice, when it is not legally compelled to do so, potentially increases the City’s exposure and costs.

Steffler says, “ATVs have been used for years by farmers, trappers, public works, and emergency services. These uses are allowed regardless of what changes are made to the bylaw. What has changed is the increased recreational use by people who have little or no experience, wanting to ride them on roads.

Many are new to ATVs. So now you are combining inexperienced drivers, with passengers as young as 8, on a machine that is difficult to control on roads even for experienced operators, with pedestrians, more traffic, kids, bikes, seniors, strollers. It is a recipe for disaster.”

In addition, there is the issue of enforcement.

Enforcement is done on a complaint basis. Residents are asked to take pictures and note the time and details, like the licence plate, vehicle type, etc. This is like asking residents to take pictures of speeding cars.

Reports suggest that few charges, if any, have been laid.

Steffler adds, “The City has a responsibility to protect public safety. Opening more roads to ATVs, after being warned by experts, staff, and the Medical Officer of Health, that doing so, will result in more incidents, and possible fatalities, is not acceptable. It sets a dangerously low standard for safety and exposes the city to legal liability. We believe Council needs to focus on safety, education and enforcement and forget about expanding access.”

ONTARIO HELPING AG SOCIETIES

The Ontario government is taking action to help support local agricultural and horticultural societies with $1.1 million in additional funding to offer continued support for agricultural and horticultural societies impacted by COVID-19.

The government will provide up to $5,000 for each eligible agricultural society and up to $1,500 for each eligible horticultural society, equal to their 2019 grants. This is the latest investment from the provincial government to strengthen Ontario’s agri-food sector, ensuring sustainability of agriculture and fostering vibrant rural economies. This latest funding follows the January 2021 investment of $5 million to help support agricultural and horticultural societies impacted by cancelled events in 2020.

Locally, eligible agricultural and horticultural societies in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock will receive a collective total of over $26,000 in financial support through their 2020 grants, equal to the amount they received in 2019.

“The pandemic continues to place financial pressures on agricultural and horticultural societies and that’s why providing this additional funding is a priority for our government,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock. “These organizations play a critical role in our communities by providing education on the importance of agriculture and supporting our farmers”.

The funding will enable agricultural and

Building a New Shelter - Brick by Brick Submitted by Glenda Morris

APCH needs your support now more than ever, as we strive to ies who do find themselves homeless. Throughout the period since March 2020, upwards of 50 people each night have been staying in motels, a number far exceeding our standard shelter capacity. These families need support to move forward. APCH needs your support to make that possible.

The arrival of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has created unprecedented challenges for the community and unprecedented challenges for APCH. Because our 100+-yearold buildings could not provide safe accommodation, we have shifted to accommodations in motels. This is unsustainable.

Neither does this permit staff to deliver the full range of the agency’s services that get folks “off the street and on their feet”.

Faced with this reality and to address the “new normal” the volunteer Board of Directors has committed to construction of a new shelter: purpose-built from durable materials, energyefficient, with accessibility and privacy to meet clients’ needs, and able to meet the community’s need for decades to come This is by far the largest project in the agency’s history.

With substantial support from the City of Kawartha Lakes and Ontario government, we have a fundraising goal of $1.5 million, and to this end have launched our Buy A Brick Build A Shelter campaign.

Individual donors or groups donating $250 or more will see their names on bricks on the exterior wall of the new shelter. Receipts for charitable tax deductions will be issued for

$200. When you buy a brick you will see the real impact your contribution brings to our community. Community support is at the heart of our work, and past support has shown the community is committed to the hope and hard work it takes to address the challenges of homelessness locally.

For over 25 years A Place Called Home in Lindsay has provided emergency shelter for those who find themselves homeless or at risk of homelessness. Thousands of men, women, and families with children in City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County have received round-the-clock support -- safe, secure shelter, meals, laundry and showers and staff assistance in developing a personal plan for finding affordable permanent housing and help overcoming any barriers to achieving that goal.

horticultural societies to offset membership and revenue losses so they can continue to meet their immediate financial needs and work towards planning future events within health and safety guidelines.

The current grant program requires agricultural and horticultural societies to operate their fairs, events and activities in order to qualify for funding.

This automatic one-time payment replaces the 2021 grant so that agriculture and horticultural societies can receive the grant without having to hold their traditional fair or complete their community projects.

HELPING OUR FEATHERED FRIENDS

Submitted by Heather Smith, FLAP Canada

Birds bring great beauty and happiness to our lives, and many of us enjoy bird watching, especially near our homes and cottages. However, as much as

we love to see birds visit our yards, collisions with windows are a leading contributor to bird population decline.

Glass is invisible to birds, just as it can be to humans. Reflections of trees, greenery and the sky in windows -- especially windows at or below the height of trees -- trick birds, and often result in deadly collisions. And daytime window collisions kill far more birds than lights at night.

Luckily it’s quite easy for us to help stop birds from colliding with our windows. All that’s required are window markers to help warn birds of the danger.

To be effective, these markers must cover the entire surface of glass and must be on the outside surface of your window, with gaps between markers being no greater than 5cm x 5cm (2” x 2”). Multiple markers are 8

July 30, 2021 - The Kawartha Promoter

essential -- a silhouette of a single bird on a window will not prevent birds from hitting that window.

If you’re not sure what to use as a marker, some solutions include items you probably have at home.

A bar of soap can be used to mark up your window (though it’s a short-term option because you’ll need to re-apply when it fades or washes off). A series of ribbons or string can also be hung in front of your window.

Other cost-effective options can be purchased, like Feather Friendly Residential DIY Tape. When replacing your windows, be sure to install glass that is bird-safe.

For more information, visit the website of FLAP Canada, a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping birds safe from window collisions at www. flap.org.

DIRECTORS FOR THE ARTS

The Kawartha Arts Festival has some vacancies on its Board, and they are anxious to find the right people to fill those spots.

Following the 30th annual Kawartha Arts Festival in 2019, and just as planning was underway for 2020, COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the event.

Undaunted, the committee eagerly looked forward to being able to resume in 2021.

In the past 10 months, they have been saddened and diminished by the passing of three valued members of their team. The gap they leave is deep and wide, and the future of the 2021 Festival was in doubt even before it became apparent that ongoing pandemic safety protocols would prohibit the kind of gatherings to which they are accustomed at the Festival.

In order to come back strong with Kawartha Arts Festival 2022, they need an injection of new people, new ideas and lots of vim and vigour. The 100+ artists depend on events like this for their livelihood.

Those applying should be: • Interested in supporting the visual arts; • Comfortable working in a committee environment and willing to attend semi-regular meetings; • In your element working with a group of people who like to have some fun and lots of laughs; • Able to help out with the physical aspects of the Festival; • Able to take on any tasks that might crop up at a moment’s notice If you are interested in joining the Board of the Kawartha Arts Festival, kindly submit a letter to kawartsfestival@gmail.com, giving some information about yourself and why you would like to become part of this group.

A PERFECT NIGHT FOR THE PERSEIDS

One of the most waited-for nights in the astronomy calendar comes on August 11/12. That’s when the Perseid Meteor Shower is at its peak, bringing “shooting stars” across our beautiful dark Kawartha skies.

This year, it should be a good one. With limited moonlight that will set before the peak begins, the observing conditions are reported to be perfect ... if the skies are clear that is.

The best time for observing the Perseids is after midnight. That’s because it’s only then that Earth is turning towards and moving full speed into the dust and debris. Look after midnight and you’ll see more Perseids, they’ll be higher in the sky, and they’ll be brighter.

The Perseids are caused by dust and debris left in Earth’s orbital path around the Sun by the giant comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Twice the size of the comet that did for the dinosaurs, it last entered the inner Solar System in 1992. It’s due back in the year 2125.

So find a dark spot on the dock, in a field or anywhere away from lights. Pull up a chair, a bevvy if you wish, and enjoy our beautiful night sky.

BURLEIGH DAM REPLACEMENT DEFERRED

Parks Canada advises that the Burleigh Falls Dam replacement project has been deferred until further notice.

While the dam is in poor condition and is in need of replacement, recent engineering inspections have concluded that the dam does not pose any imminent risk to public safety. Parks Canada will continue to monitor the dam in the interest of public safety and actively address any issues.

In the interim, Parks Canada will continue work on Indigenous consultations and stakeholder engagement related to the project, the supporting baseline environmental studies and the completion of the Detailed Impact Assessment and fisheries plan.

GETTING YOUR SECOND DOSE

If you have a second dose appointment scheduled after August 3, the local Health Unit is asking you to immediately rebook sooner or ‘walk in’ for your COVID-19 vaccine.

With the more infectious Delta variant now being the most common strain of COVID-19 in Ontario, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit is urging anyone age 12 years and older to get their second vaccine dose as soon as possible so they are fully protected. Currently, there are plenty of COVID-19 vaccine doses available and many places in which to get immunized in Haliburton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

As of August 3, the Health Unit is cancelling all second dose appointments from the provincial booking system made in August, September, October, and November at its COVID-19 vaccination clinic sites in Minden, Cobourg, Fenelon Falls and Campbellford.

“With ample COVID-19 vaccine supply and many vacant appointments this week, we are asking people not to delay getting their second dose,” says Dr. Natalie Bocking, Medical Officer of Health with the HKPR District Health Unit. “As fall arrives, we expect to see an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in our area. People who have not received both doses of their COVID-19 vaccine will be most at risk, so the sooner everyone is fully vaccinated, the better our communities will be protected.”

There are a number of ways people can get a second dose (or first dose) of COVID-19 vaccine: • Use the provincial booking system to reschedule an earlier second dose appointment. Visit www. ontario.ca/bookvaccine or call 1-833-943-3900.

The Health Unit has many appointments available for the rest of July and more appointments are being posted for August. All clinics will be offering both mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna).

• ‘Walk in’ to a Health Unit COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Cobourg, Minden, Fenelon Falls, and now Campbellford. Dates for these clinics are listed on the Health Unit website at www.hkpr. on.ca. A drive-in vaccination clinic is also offered at the LEX site in Lindsay run by Ross Memorial Hospital.

• Sign up for a ‘standby list’ at Health Unit vaccine clinics to be called if there are extra COVID-19 doses available near the end of the day. Full instructions to sign up are available at www.hkpr. on.ca • Check with your primary care provider to see about getting vaccinated. Many Family Health Teams and community health centres in the area are providing doses.

• Contact a local pharmacy to get vaccinated. Select pharmacies in the area are offering mRNA vaccines, and appointments can be made directly with the pharmacy. Visit Ontario’s Pharmacy COVID-19 Vaccine web page to search pharmacies by town, postal code, and vaccine type.

“We appreciate everyone’s understanding to rebook second dose appointments earlier or walk in for a vaccine,” says Dr. Booking. “Getting needles into more arms as quickly as possible is the best way to fight COVID-19 and the Delta variant.”

PRIVACY BREACH AT HEALTH UNIT

The local Health Unit is working to immediately address a privacy breach involving a mass email sent to approximately 500 clients in its region.

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit says the breach involves an email sent to local residents relating to COVID-19 vaccine appointments. The email was sent to email addresses people had provided when booking initial COVID vaccine appointments. However, people receiving the emails were able to see the email addresses of all other recipients.

The Health Unit is immediately following up with people affected by the email. The incident has also been reported to the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.

“We take this issue very seriously and sincerely apologize for this incident,” says Dr. Natalie Bocking, Medical Officer of Health for the HKPR District Health Unit. “We are reaching out to affected individuals and also working internally to ensure there is no repeat of this situation.”

The Health Unit asks anyone who received these emails to delete them immediately. The Health Unit also strongly urges recipients of the email not to forward the email to any other person or party, so the breach is not compounded.

If anyone needs to contact the Health Unit, they can do so by emailing info@hkpr.on.ca or calling 1-866-888-4577, ext. 5020.

TOWER WORK MEANS RESTRICTIONS

Due to an essential capital project for the internal and external coating of the Bobcaygeon water tower tank, which requires the water tower to be taken offline for the duration of the project, the municipality will be implementing Phase One Water Restrictions in accordance with By-Law 2018-039 A By-Law to Regulate Water and Wastewater Services in Kawartha Lakes. This is necessary to ensure there is adequate water supply for essential uses.

Beginning August 9 and until approximately the end of November, residents of Bobcaygeon who are on municipal water services are asked to implement water conservation practices. These measures include: • A property with an odd-numbered municipal address shall water lawns, sports fields, grassy areas, trees, shrubs, gardens, flowers or other vegetation at that property on a day which is identified on the calendar with an odd number;

Horoscopes

July 30 to August 12

By Melodie McCullough

Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 19) Trust the journey, Aquarius! There will be setbacks ahead, but also many breakthroughs and achievements. Look forward, not back.

Pisces (Feb. 20 to March 20) Dear Pisces, you can choose to greet everyone with a smile. It may not automatically and immediately achieve the response you wish, but you will know you gave it your best shot!

Aries (March 21 to April 20) Aries, try to avoid sweeping negative statements such as: “you always” and “you never” when interacting/arguing with someone. They do not lead to constructive dialogue.

Taurus (April 21 to May 21) During this phase, Taurus, you may experience a significant event that will make you think long and hard about your ambitions and general life values. Take it to heart!

Gemini (May 22 to June 22) Nature is calling you, Gemini! Can you garden? Can you take a hike in the woods? Can you visit a local park? Try to find something to ease the hectic, swirling pace of this everyday world.

Cancer (June 23 to July 23) “The child that is hardest to love is the child that needs love the most,”: Ann Landers. Remember these challenging words, Cancer. They can be applied to adults, as well!

Leo (July 24 to Aug. 23) Love is waiting for you, dear Leo, but you may need to reach out beyond your usual boundaries and make your feelings and interest known. Good luck!

Virgo (Aug. 24 to Sept. 23) We all have weaknesses, and we all have strengths, Virgo. So don’t fret over the “failings” you can’t change – look to your gifts to guide and honour you.

Libra (Sept. 24 to Oct. 23) A rigid outlook may be the kind of structure some people need, Libra, but it’s not really recommended. Why? Because if you can bend when the gales blow, you will not break.

If you are too rigid, you WILL break.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 22) Scorpio, you may be familiar with the “3 Cs”, often associated with helping those facing the addiction of someone they love: I didn’t cause it; I can’t cure it; I can’t control it. These words can be a mantra for many other difficulties. Let’s add one more to remember: I CAN communicate.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 to Dec. 21) Well, look at you, Sagittarius! Look how far you’ve come over the past little while, and look at the great new possibilities because of this. Well done!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 20) Physical challenges are always, well, challenging! Capricorn, you may be facing some in the short-term. You will need positive support and sympathetic care.

HIGH-SPEED PROMISE

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how much we rely on our internet connections, making access to fast and reliable internet service even more critical. For too long, many rural Canadians have lacked access to high-speed internet, impacting their ability to work, learn and keep in touch with family and friends. The pandemic has made addressing this divide even more urgent. That’s why the governments of Canada and Ontario are accelerating their investments in broadband infrastructure.

This week, a historic agreement was announced

Fenelon Falls & Area 2021

Buckhorn & Area 2021

by the provincial and federal governments to bring high-speed internet to nearly 280,000 rural Ontario households in hundreds of communities across the province.

Under this agreement, the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario have partnered to support large-scale, fibre-based projects that will provide high-speed internet access to all corners of the province by 2025. This historic agreement is being made possible by an equal federal-provincial investment totalling more than $1.2 billion.

In addition, the Canada Infrastructure Bank is assessing opportunities proposed through the Universal Broadband Fund to provide additional financing on a project-by-project basis toward significant expansion of broadband in partnership with private and institutional investors.

Canada-wide, more than 890,000 rural and remote households are on track to be connected to high-speed internet as a result of federal investments. At the end of March 2021, 175,000 rural and remote households had been connected to high-speed internet under projects supported by the Government of Canada.

By the end of this year, over 435,000 households will be connected thanks to support from the federal government.

This announcement builds on the progress the governments of Canada and Ontario have already made to improve critical infrastructure in Ontario.

This includes leveraging over $30 billion in federal, provincial and partner funding for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP). This investment supports over 265 local transit projects; 140 projects in rural and northern areas; over 70 green infrastructure projects; and over 270 community, culture and recreation projects. Also, as part of ICIP, Ontario launched the COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure stream with combined federal and provincial funding of $1.05 billion. This includes up to $250 million in federal and provincial funding for municipalities to address critical local infrastructure needs to improve health and safety.
