AgendaItem#4•
Deputations and/or presentations Mr. Craig Bakay and his son Jonathon addressed the 150th Anniversary Planning Advisory Committee on a proposal to produce a video documentary on the local band Bauder Road. He noted the various festivals that take place in the rural area such as the Blue Skies Festival and the Canadian Guitar Festival that see guests coming from as far away as Europe and he feels that as a tourism area, reference should be made to these festivals. He is proposing that he and his son produce a music documentary DVD that features Bauder Road and these local music festivals that could be used as a tourism marketing tool. He would provide the County with 300 DVDs. All rights would be transferred to the County, with the exception of film festival rights and any prizes awarded through such festivals. To questions of cost, Mr. Bakay advised that this project would require a $15,000 budget. If he were to approach the Blue Skies Festival and the Wolfe Island Music Festival a second time, he could entice them to participate in the project by offering to pay for the band’s fee, and additional $5,000. He is hoping that the costs could be covered under Provincial Tourism funding. A short vignette of the video could also be provided. The Committee felt that a CD compilation of various music created in the Frontenacs might be more fitting for the 150th Anniversary celebration. The Committee will review Mr. Bakay’s proposal and defer its decision to a future meeting. Mr. Bakay would need to know the Committees decision by June at the latest for this to be produced in 2013 or by January 1, 2014 for this to be produced in 2014. It was suggested that a music documentary might be too one dimensional and it might be more appropriated to have a DVD that showcases the communities, the businesses and the tourism opportunities of Frontenac County and feature a music segment. This type of investment would need to boast an economic benefit for the County.

Mr. Vanden Hoek Ms. Sproule
THAT the 150th Anniversary Planning Advisory Committee accept this 2013 Work Plan Update report for information. CARRIED With respect to the Community Survey, Ms. Vandervelde advised that this would be an online survey promoted through media releases. Hard copies could also be available at events. The Committee felt that the survey questions should be more specific than what has been presented including the option of multiple choice questions to ensure that responses are more realistic. Warden Gutowski will work with Ms. Vandervelde in developing the survey questions. ACTION ITEM – A. VANDERVELDE th

AgendaItem#4•
Mr. Vanden Hoek will speak with the Wolfe Island Plowmen’s Association to see if they would like to incorporate their 2013 Plowing Match into the 2015 Central County event. ACTION ITEM – J. VANDEN HOEK With respect to upcoming community events, Mr. Giroux and Ms. Sproule will attend the Saturday, April 27th Ompah Volunteer Firefighters Association Ride for Dad North Frontenac ATV Run. Members will attend their own Township Canada Day celebrations. More planning around logistics will be required closer to July. Councillor Davison will speak to the Verona Lions regarding the committee’s attendance at the 62nd Verona Lions Jamboree. Ms. Vandervelde has advised that she has contacted the Board for the Blue Skies Festival about the committee attending this year’s event and the committee will be meeting later this week. With respect to the Wolfe Island Music Festival, it was noted that 99% of attendees are not residents of Wolfe Island and are not interested in Frontenac County. It was suggested that the Wolfe Island Plowing Match and the annual family baseball tournament would be better community events to attend in Frontenac Islands. It was suggested that when staff prepare the PowerPoint presentation for Committee member presentations at Township Councils, it should include asking Council members for suggestions of community events to attend in each Township. ACTION ITEM – A. VANDERVELDE The expectation of members at these events is to create awareness and promote the 150th Anniversary of Frontenac County, the Anniversary and the 2015 central event. Ms. Vandervelde displayed the promotional materials available for community events. Of the $3,000 budget approved, $2,000 has been spent to date. Staff was asked to investigate the cost of purchasing lightweight vests that members would wear to community events in order to clearly associate them with the 150th. The Committee felt that purple and perhaps white would make the vests eye-catching. ACTION ITEM – A. VANDERVELDE The Committee discussed the idea put forward by a community member regarding family trees and it was noted that the County could take advantage of working with the Library Board who will be conducting genealogy workshops in June. The Committee decided that this topic could be included in the Community Survey. The Committee also discussed the possibility of a contest – anyone in Frontenac County who can trace their family tree pre-dated to 1865 could gain free admission to the 150th Anniversary heritage ball. This project would need to be self-motivated and the County could offer to showcase the top 10 submissions. The Committee also discussed the idea of offering a compilation of all submissions to all entrants. Staff will advise the community member that the Committee is receptive to the idea and that staff will be doing some additional research on the possibility of this suggestion. ACTION ITEM – A. VANDERVELDE The Committee would like to see a heritage costume ball fit into the central event. th

Ms. Vandervelde will prepare a draft presentation for the Committee’s next meeting. The Committee will have a chance to offer comments and revisions at that time. All members will use the same presentation when presenting to Township Councils. Ms. Vandervelde has also created a partnership agreement (Exhibit D of the agenda) and Committee members will use the Township presentation as an opportunity to ask that each of the Townships become partners. With respect to the meeting with Mr. Jim Garrard of the Macdonald Bicentennial Commission, Ms. Vandervelde highlighted three items of note from the conversation:
- She advised that the Commission is willing to provide a letter of support, which could help if the County is considering applying for funding for the 150th event.
- The idea of a museum style exhibit that could travel around the library branches in the County throughout 2015 was suggested. The Committee felt that, given the value of some of these artefacts, consideration would need to be given to security and ownership. The Committee supported the preliminary idea and staff was asked to determine a list of potential venues and a schedule for rotation and report back at the next meeting. ACTION ITEM – A. VANDERVELDE
- Mr. Garrard seemed quite interested in the possibility of collaborating on an event that incorporates the re-enacting of carrying Sir. John. A Macdonald through the County aboard the K&P Railway. With respect to the Kingston Frontenac Public Library, it was suggested that a link be added to the County website encouraging people to visit the Library’s Story Me Blog. The Committee would also like to see a partnership with local schools to get students to interview locals as part of an assignment or volunteer hours. Councillor Davison will contact Brenda Hunter, Director of Education, at the Limestone District School Board to start the dialogue. ACTION ITEM – COUNCILLOR DAVISON With regards to the Barley Days Brewery, the Committee questioned if this should be done through a more local brewery. Staff will investigate more local breweries and report back to the Committee. ACTION ITEM – A. TAMBLYN Regarding the request for partnering with the Ompah Volunteer Firefighters Association Ride for Dad North Frontenac ATV Run, it was noted that if Committee members attend th

this event it is just information dissemination at this point; however a partnership could be possible in the future, but there needs to be a defined relationship in order to have partnership agreement. The Committee supported the proposed Partnership Agreement and discussed approaching the business community for financial support which will be a discussion point at a future date. Moved by: Ms. Sproule Seconded by: Councillor Davison BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac approve the Partnership Agreement noted as Exhibit D to the February 21st, 2013 150th Anniversary Planning Advisory Committee agenda. CARRIED Regarding a Legacy Project, it was suggested that an enhancement could be made to a local park. Members will bring back a list of possibilities to the next meeting. The Historical Society would be the best party to lead a legacy project. More discussion at a future meeting is necessary to determine next steps on this item. Councillor Davison will contact Mr. John Able, the Deputy Mayor of the Town of Aurora and bring back information on the Town’s 2013 150th celebration including costs and expectations. ACTION ITEM – COUNCILLOR DAVISON 7.
Communications Communication received from the Howe Island Historical Society Upcoming Event - Howe Island Winter Tales from the Last Century This Communication was brought to the Committees attention as it is being requested that a representative attend.

e. Communications Plan A Communications Plan is being developed. comment on the draft plan at its June meeting. 2.
The Committee will have an opportunity to
Assist in the development of a major event and/or several smaller events
Total Scope Staff recommends the committee determines the total scope of celebrations in order to establish requirement for working groups. This will allow the committee to form working groups in 2013, providing enough lead time to execute suitable arrangements. Staff suggests the following elements cover the total scope of the celebrations and can form the basis for working groups: • Central Celebration • Historic artefacts – management of the collection and exhibition • Conference attracting a province-wide audience • Legacy Project(s) • Scholarship Program • Documentation of our history a. Ancillary Events A suggestion has come forward from Councillor McDougall that the County host an event in 2015 that attracts a province-wide audience. Councillor McDougall specifically noted a conference focusing on seniors’ issues might be suitable. Staff recommends that the scope of the event must be considered through the sustainability lens – whether a large multi-day conference or a smaller multi-day event, we would need to determine how it could be supported through resources in the County. County staff is researching possibilities. b. Research Councillor Davison will provide an update on his conversation with Mr. John Able, Deputy Mayor of the Town of Aurora on its 2013 150th celebrations. It is estimated that valuable lessons learned might be gleaned by contacting some of the following municipalities that have experience with recent or upcoming celebrations. Date 2014
