MAPLETON - Council passed a resolution on May 28 issuing requests for proposals (RFPs) to companies to invest in, and propose solutions for, the township’s water and wastewater systems. Council approved issuing RFPs to six groups of companies all, of which were deemed qualified by council through the request for qualifications (RFQ) process. The new approach to financing and updating the water and wastewater systems was adopted by council in December when staff engaged with Borden Ladner Gervais LLP to explore alternative financing and infrastructure renewal for the systems. Then, in April, the township announced it was inviting companies with applica-
ble experience to apply to an RFQ and invest in the township’s infrastructure. The six companies to receive an RFP from the township are: - Helios Group, made up of Industrial Alliance Insurance and Financial Services Inc., Pomerleau, Helios Group, JL Richards, GSS Engineering; - Maple Reinders W/WW Utility, made up of Wood Canada Limited, Maple Reinders Constructors Ltd., ASI Water (a division of ASI Group Ltd.) and Stonebridge Financial Corporation; - Maple Water Resource Partners, comprised of EPCOR Water (East) Inc., AECON, Ontario Clean Water Agency and Stantec, Ontario Utility Consortium comprised of Veolia Water Canada, Inc, Graham, CIMA+, Alectra Inc. and Enbridge;
- Peterborough Group, comprised of PUG (Peterborough) Services Corp., Peterborough Utilities Inc. and Peterborough Utilities Group; and - PUC Sault St. Marie Group, made up of Axium Infrastructure Canada II LP, PUC Services Inc. (Sault St. Marie) and Ontario Energy Holdings LLC. ‘Moving ahead’ “We are moving ahead with water and wastewater in this community and I thank council and staff for all of the hard work, as well as our consultants for getting us to this point,” said Mayor Gregg Davidson. “This is a very exciting time for the township of Mapleton as we move forward and we are looking at implementing something that has been worked on for 20 years. “It’s fantastic.”
Minto seeks Connecting Link cash for project in Harriston By Patrick Raftis MINTO – Town council has authorized staff to apply for provincial Connecting Link funding to rebuild Highway 89 (Arthur Street East) from Elora Street to the edge of Harriston. On May 21, roads and drainage manager Mike
McIsaac advised council the provincial transportation ministry recently announced it would accept applications for Connecting Link funding for new projects with a deadline of May 31. Up to 90 per cent of total eligible project costs may be funded and the maximum request is $3 million per proj-
ect. The municipality must contribute 10%, which cannot come from any other provincial funding source. McIsaac noted the last construction work on the Highway 89 (Arthur Street East) section was done in 1990, “so that surface is nearly 30 years old.” “It’s definitely a rough
piece of road,” commented councillor Judy Dirksen. Other potential Connecting Link projects had been worked on more recently, McIsaac noted, including the northwestern corner of Highway 9 in Harriston (in front of Tim Hortons) and the west end of Arthur Street.
McIsaac recommended the town not miss out on the chance for Connecting Link funding. “We have been successful with this application over the years and we don’t know how much longer it’s going to be available,” he said. Mayor George Bridge said, “We’ve lost Connecting
Link once before in a different situation. With all the cuts that are going on, I’m surprised it is still here, but let’s take advantage if we can because there’s not many more programs out there.” Councillor Jean Anderson asked staff how the town would fund its portion of the SEE TOWN » 2

ing area churches, businesses and individuals – stepped forward and supported the Drayton Youth Centre right from the beginning. “Whether through volunteer supports, supplies or funding, this community has tirelessly demonstrated its commitment to area youth,” centre officials note. “Through games of pool, gym nights, outings for bowling or bubble soccer, positive relationships have been built. “This means when family life or school challenges crop up, as they inevitably do, youth feel comfortable in sharing and seeking support from DYC volunteers. Some of these youth have gone on to becoming caring volunteers themselves, support-
ing the next generation of Drayton and area youth.” In the intervening years, DYC officials state they have heard anecdotally from law enforcement about a drop in local vandalism. “We haven’t had this kind of impact without the support of this community,” officials point out. Community members are urged to attend the free family-friendly event on June 15, which will feature a reptile show, bouncy castle, live music, barbecued food, horse drawn wagon rides, face painters and balloon animal artists.

Helen Moffat recognized as Senior of the Year By Aryn Strickland
Senior of the year - Mayor Gregg Davidson presented Helen Moffat with the 2019 Senior of the year award on May 28. Moffat has been a 4-H Homemaking Club leader for 21 years, a member of the Wellington County Plowmen’s Association for over 20 years, president of the Alma Women’s Institute, and treasurer of both the Mapleton Historical Society (since 2006) and the Peel History Committee, as well as a regular volunteer at the Drayton Festival Theatre.

MAPLETON - Council, staff and residents were treated to an award ceremony for Helen Moffat, provincial butter tart award winner, on May 28. Moffat received the township’s Senior of the Year award in recognition of years of volunteer work, dedication to local causes and preservation of local history. A resident of Mapleton for over 49 years, Moffat has been a 4-H Homemaking Club leader for 21 years, a member of the Wellington County Plowmen’s Association for over 20 years, president of the Alma Women’s Institute, and treasurer of both the Mapleton Historical Society (since 2006) and the Peel History Committee, as well as a regular volunteer at the Drayton Festival Theatre. “It is with great pleasure and honour that we are able to present the Senior of the Year Award to Mrs. Moffat.” said Mayor Gregg Davidson
in a press release. “She has more than earned this recognition and we look forward to many more years of service, and butter tarts. It is individuals like her and so many others in Mapleton that assist in making it a remarkable place to plant your roots and grow.” Moffat was presented with a plaque from the township for her efforts. The award comes closely on the heels of another win back in February, when Moffat was crowned the grand champion of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies for her butter tart recipe. “Who would have thought that making a small plate of butter tarts would have brought such recognition, not only to me but to Drayton and the community,” said Moffat. She thanked four generations of her family, as well as members of the some the organizations she is a part of,
for coming to the ceremony. “When we moved here 49 years ago it was a great leap of faith to move from our home community north an hour’s drive and to move a whole herd of cattle and all the equipment, milk cows down there in the morning and up here at night, and it was quite a day that I will never forget,” said Moffat. “I am very proud of all the accomplishments that we have had and our family has tried to give back to the community whenever it is possible.” Following the award ceremony, residents were treated to some of Moffat’s awardwinning butter tarts.
Correction A May 30 Community News article about the opening of the Wellington County public works garage in Drayton incorrectly stated the previous county garage located on John Street was destroyed by fire. It was the Mapleton public works garage on Sideroad 16 that was destroyed in a fire. The the new county garage is also now located on the Mapleton Township administration centre property on Sideroad 16. The Community News regrets the error.

YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER
EDITORIAL By Patrick Raftis
Let’s break a deal When is a deal not a deal? Apparently, and sadly, when you sign it with the Ontario government, or at least the @fordnation iteration. As of this writing, the Progressive (LOL) Conservative government was working toward passage of legislation intended to cancel midstream a 10-year agreement between the province and the Beer Store. The move dismantles a negotiated agreement between the retailer and the previous Liberal government to allow limited grocery store sales in return for investment and expansion of availability by the Beer Store. While it will likely have to be sorted out in court, some pundits are citing legal experts who contend that ripping up the contract will result in Ontario taxpayers paying hundreds of millions, perhaps as much as $1 billion, in penalties. Hope you enjoyed that “buck-a-beer” while it lasted. However you feel about the Beer Store’s quasi-monopoly, this isn’t the first contract this Tory regime has trashed. One of its first acts was to cancel a cap and trade agreement between Ontario, Quebec and California, the financial repercussions of which will be reverberating for years. You would think a government with an “Open for Business” mandate would have the support of organizations like the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. But that group, whose members understand contracts, has denounced the deal-breaking. In a May 29 letter to Minister of Finance Vic Fedeli, the chamber warned of consequences. “Cancelling a contract sends an alarming message to the business community in Ontario and beyond which could potentially deter investment,” chamber president Rocco Rossi wrote. “Breaking a legitimate contract is a short-sighted approach.” Astoundingly, Fedeli told Queen’s Park reporters earlier this week that multinational companies working in Ontario don’t expect incoming governments to honour contracts signed with previous regimes. “All multinationals understand that any contracts that are signed by one government, especially bad contracts, don’t need to be carried forward by another government,” he said. Citing the principle of parliamentary sovereignty, Fedeli noted convention holds that legislatures can’t bind future legislators. For example, he pointed out the current government can’t pass a law banning tax hikes in perpetuity. Aside from demonstrating a lack of understanding of the difference between legislating and deal making, that sends a pretty chilling message to any entity a current or future government might want to make an agreement with. However, if that premise holds, Doug Ford and company may have actually solved Ontario’s fiscal woes in one brilliant stroke, uncovering a heretofore unseen means of slaying both the deficit and the debt. If one government can’t bind the next, how can we be compelled to keep paying the interest and principal on loans taken out by those long-ago legislators? All those debentures issued by municipal governments to support infrastructure? Why keep up the payments in a world where everyone keeps their fingers crossed behind their back? Maybe because we hope others will keep up their end of bargains and be willing to forge new ones with us? Hard to believe there was a time when people worried this government might replace “Yours to Discover” with “Open for Business” on Ontario license plates. At this rate, we may soon feel obligated to print a series with “We can’t be trusted” as the new slogan.

6 | THE COMMUNITY NEWS | JUNE 6, 2019
By Dave Tiessen, Pastor, Bethel Mennonite Church (Elora) Diversity or commonality? It didn’t happen again this year. After over 50 years of drought, and four years of promising rebuilds and dramatically raised hopes, it began anew with sky-high optimism last September. As the cycle started all over again there was a buzz of antici-
pation in the air, blue shirts were worn to work, little blue flags flapped on cars all over the place, and the true believers of this “nation” gathered in jubilant assemblies to watch the promise of success unfold. And then it didn’t. Our beloved Maple Leafs once more succumbed to the despised Bruins, and to add insult to injury, hockey

fans are forced to watch our foes now play for the coveted Stanley Cup and cheer for the Blues to beat them. It is to weep. Oh look! The Raptors are playing for the NBA Championship! Yay! And they just won the first game -yay! This is way more interesting than having to watch those lessthan-honourable guys from Boston. What is it that gets so many of us so gung-ho to cheer for and talk about, even obsess, over the beloved home team? Why does it feel so good when they win, especially when they’re the underdog who is expected to lose? This is not unconnected to the recent debate around our correctional system and its use of solitary confinement as punishment. Like our dogs, we human beings are “pack animals” - created to live in relationships with each other. Life is most enjoyable and fulfilling when we share the journey. And life is most enjoyable and fulfilling when we share the journey

with other people who have similar interests, values, beliefs and goals. That’s why people tend to hang out with others who are like them, whether at church, the hockey rink, in our neighbourhoods, at work, at school, etc. That’s why it feels so good when a community (“nation”) comes together to cheer for a successful sports team. The contemporary emphasis on “diversity” has been very refreshing and needed. While we need the comfort and safety of familiarity, we also benefit immensely from interacting with and learning from people who are different from ourselves. Folks and groups who aren’t open to new people are not as vibrant, dynamic and resilient as those that are. You already know that “diversity” is all the rage these days, along with its bosom buddy “inclusion.” Lots of folks and leaders are preaching the virtues and wonders of “diversity,” scolding those who aren’t faithful enough to its message, and condemning the heretics who question its definitive truth. Sometimes the most ardent proclaimers of “diversity” uphold their belief by excommunicating those who disagree too publicly with them. Of course the irony of “diversity” as we know it today is that all beliefs are embraced
except those that confess an allegiance to ultimate truth or that diverge from the pronounced truths of the “woke”culture. When proclaimed as an ultimate good, “diversity” is an illusion. Logically it is not possible to, nor would we want to, accept all diversity as of equal verity. Obviously there are many human behaviours and values that ought not to be tolerated or accepted. We all draw lines between what is good and what is not, and to claim otherwise is self-deception. Moreover “diversity”, while good and invigorating when it serves to bring fresh air into closed spaces, becomes debilitating when considered the greatest good. Every group of people needs some measure of commonality to bring them together. A huge part of our need to live in relationship with each other is the necessity and joy of shared values and effort which give meaning and purpose to our life together. People may live in proximity to each other, but “community” happens when these folks begin to identify and nurture shared values and goals, and enter into shared work to move a community toward them. The gravy happens when shared effort results in progress and achievements. Our society/country is the envy of so many because of
the freedom, standard of living and opportunities that have been made available to us by dint of the shared values, sacrifices and work of generations of people before us. They were intent on building a better life for their children and neighbours, not on being free to do and be whatever they felt like. They recognized it was more admirable and useful to be responsible to contribute to the greater good than to seek personal licence. The pizazz that happens when a community whoops it up on the bandwagon behind their successful sports team illustrates this truth that we yearn to find belonging and community in common purposes. The fewer common purposes we share, the weaker the vibrancy, dynamism and resilience of our society. Yes, diversity is very important - it is good and necessary to be open to other people and ideas. But diversity becomes toxic when it excludes those who aren’t as enlightened as us, or when it undermines shared interests, values, beliefs and goals. As a national election approaches this fall, could we fortunate Canadians focus less on “diversity over all” and more on recognizing and building on the shared interests, values, beliefs and goals that gave us this wonderful, diverse country?
