APCO Industries Fined $100,000 After Worker Killed‏

Court Bulletin March 21, 2013   TORONTO, ON – APCO Industries Co. Ltd., a manufacturer and distributor of oils, greases, rust preventatives and lubricants, was fined $100,000 for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act after a worker was killed.   On January 28, 2011, workers were repairing a leak in the roof of a storage warehouse at the company’s Toronto workplace. The warehouse roof had six plastic dome covered skylights. A worker walking backwards tripped on the flashing of a skylight and fell through it about 5.5 metres (18 feet) to the concrete floor below. The worker’s injuries were fatal. A Ministry of Labour investigation found that there were no guardrails around the skylights while the workers were on the roof, nor did the skylights themselves constitute a protective covering over the opening in the roof. At no time during the repairs were the workers wearing or using any form of fall protection. APCO pleaded guilty for failing as an employer to ensure that a guardrail or protective covering was used to prevent workers from falling through the skylights. The fine was imposed by Justice of the Peace John R. Cottrell. In addition to the fine, the court imposed a 25-per-cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.     Court Information at a Glance Location:                     Ontario Court of Justice                                     1530 Markham Road                                     Toronto (Scarborough), ON Judge:                         Justice of the Peace John R.

Completed Niagara Tunnel Project to Provide Renewable Power for 100 Years‏

News Release March 21, 2013 New Ontario Government Committed to Building Clean, Reliable Energy System The new Ontario government is now harnessing more clean, renewable electricity from Niagara Falls through the completed Niagara Tunnel Project. The new tunnel, which is more than 10 kilometers in length, is channelling additional water from the Niagara River to flow to the Sir Adam Beck Generating Station at a rate of 500 cubic metres per second. This will supply Ontario with enough electricity to power the homes and businesses of a city the size of Barrie. The largest hydroelectric project to come into service in Ontario for the past 50 years, the Niagara Tunnel Project is a significant provincial achievement, employing 580 people during the peak of construction. Building a clean, reliable energy system is part of the new Ontario government’s plan to ensure we have the electricity we need to power the province’s homes, schools, hospitals and economy.

QUICK FACTS When under construction, the Niagara Tunnel Project was the largest renewable energy project of its type anywhere in the world. The Niagara Tunnel is as high as a four-storey building, and will propel water at a rate of 500 cubic metres per second, fast enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool in a matter of seconds. About 500,000 cubic metres of concrete was used to line the tunnel – enough to build a sidewalk from Windsor to Quebec City. The tunnel liner wall is 60 centimetres thick and made of cast-in-place concrete. Since 2003, more than 360 megawatts of new, upgraded and refurbished waterpower projects have come online in Ontario, enough to power an estimated 240,000 households.

The completion of this project will provide Ontario with a source of clean energy for the next 100 years.” — Bob Chiarelli, Minister of Energy “Congratulations to our contractor STRABAG and the hundreds of men and women who worked with extremely difficult rock conditions to safely complete this engineering marvel.

Earth Hour Puts Focus on Conservation

News Release March 19, 2013 New Ontario Government Offers Energy Saving Tips to Help Cut Costs On Saturday, March 23, Ontario will join the world in marking Earth Hour by turning off the lights between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. Earth Hour is a global event dedicated to raising awareness about conserving energy and fighting climate change. Everyone can make a difference by taking steps to conserve energy after Earth Hour when the lights go back on. Making simple choices about energy use can reduce monthly electricity costs and help the environment. Five tips to help manage energy use: Seize the daylight: In the winter, keep curtains open during the day to draw in sunlight. Solar energy can help naturally warm your home. Drafts be gone: Install weatherstripping and caulking around windows, doors and dryer vents, and insulate your home properly including plates on outlets to help save up to 25 per cent a year on heating and cooling costs. Get with the program: When properly set, a programmable thermostat can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 10 per cent. In the winter, set your thermostat to 20°C when you’re home and 18°C when sleeping or away. Heat efficiently: Have a qualified technician service your furnace on a regular basis to ensure it is working at maximum efficiency. Clean or change the filter regularly – a dirty filter reduces airflow and makes the furnace work harder to circulate the air. Off-peak pays: Take advantage of lower energy prices during off-peak hours. Off-peak hours are 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weeknights and all day on weekends and statutory holidays. Building a clean energy system and a culture of conservation is part of the new Ontario government’s plan to create and support jobs for the people of Ontario, while ensuring we have the electricity we need to power our homes, schools, hospitals and businesses.

QUICK FACTS You can learn more about how to conserve energy and save on your monthly bills by following the Ministry of Energy on Twitter for daily conservation tips. This year marks the fifth year the Ontario government is participating in Earth Hour. Approximately 70 government-owned buildings will be turning off the lights. According to the World Wildlife Fund, 152 different countries and more than 6,950 cities participated in Earth Hour in 2012, including 39 per cent of Canadians – 13 million people across 511 cities. Through conservation, Ontario homeowners, businesses and industry have saved more than 1,900 megawatts of peak demand electricity since 2005 – the equivalent of more than 600,000 homes being taken off the grid. Ontario’s elimination of coal-fired electricity generation is the single largest greenhouse gas reduction measure being undertaken in North America. The province will have shut down 17 of 19 coal units by the end of 2013. By the end of 2014, Ontario will be one of the first places in the world to eliminate coal as a source of electricity production.

QUOTES “When it comes to managing electricity use and energy costs, we can all do more. Conservation is an important part of our collective effort to lower greenhouse gas emissions and continue building a clean, reliable, modern electricity system.” — Bob Chiarelli, Minister of Energy “Earth Hour reminds us we can each make changes at home to conserve energy and take a load off the environment. Small actions add up to big changes for the better.” — Jim Bradley, Minister of Environment

Helping Municipalities Collect Unpaid Fines‏

News Release March 18, 2013 New Ontario Government Committed to Road Safety The new Ontario government is taking action to help municipalities collect unpaid traffic fines from drivers who do not follow the rules of the road. Legislation to be introduced later this week would, if passed, deny licence plates to drivers who have unpaid fines for offences such as speeding, improper lane changes, illegal turns, driving with no insurance and careless driving. The legislation would also make it easier for municipalities to charge out-of-province drivers who run red lights and fail to stop for school buses. Supporting municipalities and keeping families safe on the roads is part of the new Ontario government’s plan to boost the economy and strengthen communities.

QUICK FACTS Unpaid fines related to the Highway Traffic Act and Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act account for approximately 70 per cent of the total amount of unpaid fines owed to municipalities. Fines owed to municipalities are increasing by an average of approximately $100 million a year. Ontario’s roads are among the safest in North America.

LEARN MORE Road safety and safe driving in Ontario  Provincial Offences Act

QUOTES “Ontario’s new government is taking action to help municipalities collect unpaid fines owed to them. This new legislation, if passed, will also keep Ontario’s roads safe by making those who break the rules of the road responsible for their actions.” — Glen Murray, Minister of Transportation, Minister of Infrastructure “This proposed legislation will help ensure that municipalities like Ottawa can issue tickets to out-of-province vehicles caught by red light cameras, which is a serious concern in our city.” — Yasir Naqvi, MPP, Ottawa Centre “I am pleased that the Government of Ontario has brought this proposed legislation forward. This isn’t just a matter of collecting revenue, it is about accountability and the enforcement of laws that are there to protect public safety.” — Jim Watson, Mayor of Ottawa

Premier’s Statement On Casino Expansion‏

News Release March 15, 2013 Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne released the following statement today: “The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is in the midst of exploring additional opportunities for casinos in Ontario. Some news stories today are suggesting that Toronto is going to get a special deal with regard to hosting fees. In light of these stories, I would like to reiterate the new Ontario government’s expectations as to what will happen with casino expansion. First off, there will be no special deal for Toronto in connection with any proposed casino development. The approach OLG is taking in Toronto with regard to hosting fees will be the same as the approach being used in other parts of Ontario. The hosting fee for Toronto would reflect the size and scale that global gaming companies have confirmed is possible in the city. If the same capital investment and job potential are possible elsewhere, the same hosting fees would be generated. While a lot of attention has been focused on Toronto, OLG is intent on expanding casino opportunities to a number of regions in Ontario. The underserved markets of North Bay, Kenora, Collingwood-Wasaga Beach and Belleville-Quinte are currently being considered for development. My government will ensure that all regions of the province will benefit from OLG modernization.”

News Release March 15, 2013 Producers Have Until June 14 to Submit Forms to Agricorp The governments of Canada and Ontario are working to ensure that the province’s livestock producers who faced feed shortages after last summer’s drought conditions have the time they need to purchase and ship hay for their animals. Today, the provincial and federal governments announced that the deadline to transport forage under the Canada Ontario Forage Livestock Transportation Assistance Initiative has been extended by 11 weeks. Farmers will now have until June 1, 2013, to transport forage, and then until June 14, 2013, to submit their forms to Agricorp. The initiative was announced on Dec.14, 2012, making almost $2.4 million available to help affected livestock producers in designated drought areas of eastern and southwest Ontario purchase feed for their breeding herds over winter. Livestock producers are eligible for: Up to $0.14 per tonne, per kilometre to assist with the transportation of forage, or Up to $0.075 per kilometre, per animal, to move animals to available feed For further information regarding details of this initiative and how to apply, please visit Agricorp atwww.agricorp.com.

QUICK FACTS This initiative is part of the AgriRecovery Framework, which allows governments to respond to unforeseen disasters that result in extraordinary recovery costs for producers. This is one of many existing government programs, including AgriInsurance, AgriStability andAgriInvest, which are designed to help producers deal with income and production losses. The federal government is also providing tax deferrals to eligible producers in designated drought areas on the sale of their breeding livestock. In 2012, total government support to the livestock sector through existing business risk management programs is estimated to be $147 million, including $106 million from the Ontario-funded Risk Management Program, $20 million from AgriStability, $16 million from AgriInvest, and $5.35 million through the Production Insurance Forage Rainfall Plan.

Keep an eye on your valuables‏

Keep an eye on your valuables Recently, there has been a noticeable increase of thefts in a number of retail businesses in the division. These thefts involve the removal of purses or wallets from purses left in shopping carts while the shopper is distracted looking at items or at the checkout. Please remember to be aware of your surroundings and those around you at all times.  Know where your valuables are and keep an eye on them.  Do not leave your wallet in plain view in an unfastened purse. Do not carry large sums of cash or credit cards and identification that are not needed for that shopping trip. Do not write personal identification numbers (PINS) on debit and credit cards.  If you need a written reminder, do not keep the written PINS for those debit and credit cards t ogether in the same wallet. Remember, if a purse containing house or car keys is stolen the risk of having your house broken into or your car stolen is made that much greater.

Four More Race Tracks Sign Funding Agreements‏

News Release March 8, 2013 New Ontario Government Committed to Sustainable Horse Racing Industry The new Ontario government has reached tentative transition funding agreements with Western Fair, Clinton, Hanover and Grand River race tracks — the next step in ensuring race dates for the 2013 season. Following recommendations from the Horse Racing Industry Transition Panel Report, the province intends to: In consultation with the Ontario Horse Racing Industry Association, integrate horse racing with the provincial gaming strategy to ensure future revenue streams for the industry.

Making Progress Protecting Lake Simcoe‏

News Release March 8, 2013 New Ontario Government Releases Second Annual Report on Lake Simcoe Ontario is improving the health of Lake Simcoe through the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan and through more than 1,500 local environmental stewardship projects. Released today, the Minister’s second annual report on Lake Simcoe shows that significant progress is being made to enhance the shoreline, lower phosphorus levels and encourage the return of native lake trout. Reducing phosphorus levels in the lake is a critical component to restoring the health of the lake – too much phosphorus leads to excessive plant growth and decreased oxygen, negatively impacting the cold-water fish community. Protecting Lake Simcoe is part of the new Ontario government’s plan to protect and restore the Great Lakes, its watersheds and tributaries, helping create strong local economies and a healthy environment.

QUICK FACTS Lake Simcoe, the largest inland lake in southern Ontario outside of the Great Lakes, is an important source of revenue for the local economy. Agriculture in the Lake Simcoe watershed generates over $300 million annually. Lake Simcoe is the ice-fishing capital of Canada. Anglers enjoy more than one million hours on the ice each winter. The Lake Simcoe Community Stewardship Program engaged more than 380 landowners and 60 groups and organizations, partnerships which has had significant impact on the overall health of the lake, including the naturalization or repair of 1,435 metres of shoreline and planting over 17,500 trees or shrubs. The 2009 Lake Simcoe Protection Plan is the most comprehensive watershed-based legislated plan in Canada, designed to cut phosphorus pollution and improve water quality and fish habitat.

QUOTES “We are seeing encouraging signs in Lake Simcoe that the efforts being made by the public, scientists, municipalities and our partners are beginning to pay off. I am particularly heartened to see more native fish being caught as we ramp down on phosphorus pollution.” — Jim Bradley, Minister of the Environment “Local businesses and communities depend on the well-being of Lake Simcoe. It is encouraging to see that the science is telling us progress is being made and that the number of naturally reproducing coldwater fish in the lake is on the rise.” — David Orazietti, Minister of Natural Resources
