Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0006, Tasneem (ZanderPlan), Roll Number 102904005001800, Loughborough District

Report Number:

2024-037

Summary This report provides Council with information about Zoning By-law Amendment Application PL-ZBA-2024-0006 for a property on Holleford Road with Assessment Roll Number 102904005001800. If approved, the zone on the subject lands would be changed from Rural (RU) to Limited Service Residential Waterfront – Special Provision (RLSW-140). Council will review the proposal and invite public input at the statutory public meeting. Staff are recommending that Council pass a by-law during the Council meeting in which the public meeting is held, per Procedural By-law as Amended by By-law 2023-44, as the planning matter is technical in nature (i.e. it fulfills a condition of consent approval). Recommendation That By-law 2024-20 being a By-law to amend By-law 2003-75, as amended, to rezone land from the Rural (RU) zone to Limited Service Residential Waterfront – Special Provision (RLSW-140) on lands described as a Portion of Part Lots 2-4, Concession 12, District of Loughborough, be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2024-20 be given third reading, signed and sealed. Background The subject application is related to amended consent application PL-BDJ-2023-0079 for the creation of one new lot. The consent application was provisionally approved by the Director of Development Services on November 13, 2023. The purpose of the rezoning application is to implement a condition that requires the parcel to be rezoned. This change would acknowledge that the severed parcel would have private lane frontage and water frontage, and to permit the severed parcel to have a minimum lot frontage of 6m. Under the Planning Act, a public meeting is required to be held to receive comments from the public on the proposed rezoning.

Property Description The subject property is a total of 39.6Ha located north of Holleford Road, on the southwestern shoreline of Fourteen Island Lake. The total frontage is 1080m on Holleford Road and 497m on Fourteen Island Lake. Stewart Lane runs through the property. The subject property is developed with two seasonal dwellings and an accessory structure. The property is accessible off of Holleford Road via Stewart Lane. Topography varies significantly across the subject property, with low-lying areas in the centre and steep slopes near the shoreline. Within the low-lying areas exists wetland and unnamed watercourses. The areas of higher elevation between the wetlands are characterized by dense mature tree and vegetation growth. Finally, the surrounding area is sparsely developed with similar limited-service residential uses. Department and Agency Comments Building Services and Public Services were not circulated on the consent application or the zoning by-law amendment application due to the nature of the proposal. Quinte Conservation had no objection to the amended consent application and the zoning by-law amendment application. Quinte Conservation staff note that due to the various watercourses, wetlands, and waterbodies on and adjacent to the subject property, a permit from their office will be required for any upgrade to the private laneway, in addition to any other future development on the subject property. Public Comments No comments were received from the public at the time of writing this report. Planning Analysis The proposed zoning by-law amendment was assessed against the applicable policies of the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, County of Frontenac Official Plan, and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, as well as the provisions of Zoning By-law No. 2003-75. The Director of Development Services had consideration for these planning documents in the decision to grant provisional approval to the amended consent application. The Provincial Policy Statement (Section 1.1.5) and the County of Frontenac Official Plan (Section 3.3) permit residential development, including lot creation that is locally appropriate, in rural lands. The County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan also permit residential development in the Rural Designation. Section 5.7.7(ii)(a) of the Township Official Plan states that the frontage, size and shape of any lot created for limited service residential purposes through the severance approval process shall be appropriate for the proposed use and shall conform with the provisions of the zoning by-law. New waterfront lots must have a minimum 1 hectare lot size, 91 metres of water frontage, and 76 metres of frontage on a private road. This policy allows the Township to consider reductions to the minimum lot size and frontage requirements provided the overall intent of the Official Plan is maintained. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

The severed parcel from consent application PL-BDJ-2023-0079 would have a 6.2 hectare lot size, 497 metres of frontage on Fourteen Island Lake, and 6 metres of frontage on Stewart Lane. The parcel would contain one of the existing seasonal dwellings. The zone on the severed parcel needs to be changed from Rural (RU) to Limited Service Residential – Waterfront (RLSW) to acknowledge that the parcel would have frontage and access from a private lane. The severed parcel would have 6m of frontage on Stewart Lane, whereas the Official Plan and Zoning By-law require a minimum of 76m. This significant reduction in frontage was proposed by the applicant in order to avoid an unnecessary extension of the lane. The severed parcel is at the end of Stewart Lane. The reduced frontage would not impact the ability of the severed parcel to be used or redeveloped. There is also no further severance potential at this location along the lane. Therefore, Township planning staff interpret the reduced frontage on Stewart Lane as appropriate for the proposed use, and that the overall intent of the Official Plan is maintained. Conclusion It is the opinion of Township planning staff that the proposed zoning by-law amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, in conformity with the Frontenac County Official Plan and Township of South Frontenac Official Plan and represents good planning for the subject lands. Staff recommend that Council pass a by-law during the Council meeting in which the public meeting is held, per procedural By-law as Amended by By-law 2023-44, as the planning matter is technical in nature. Specifically, the Director of Development Services had consideration for all applicable policy in the decision to grant provisional approval to the consent application, and the by-law will fulfill one of their conditions.

Request for Lane Name Change – Neill Lane to James Thomas Lane

Report Number:

2024-033

Summary The purpose of the Report is to provide Council with additional information requested by Council at the February 20, 2024 meeting. Following consideration of the information, Council is requested to provide direction to staff regarding the application to change the name of Neill Lane to James Thomas Lane. Recommendation That the application submitted by Mr. Bilkovski to change the name of Neill Lane to James Thomas Lane be denied. Background At the Township of South Frontenac meeting of Council held on February 20, 2024, the following resolution was approved: “Resolution No. 2024:04:08 Moved by Councillor Pegrum Seconded by Councillor Trueman That Council direct staff to prepare a subsequent Report for consideration by Council which includes a By-law, summary of relevant costs and detailed information regarding recent naming requests. Carried” Discussion/Analysis On December 5, 2023 Council directed staff to proceed with the advertising of the proposed lane name change requested by Mr. Bilkovski, as required by By-law 2016-73. Staff advertised the proposed lane name change in the Frontenac News, on the South Frontenac Website and posted on the property for an excess of four weeks prior to the February 20, 2023 meeting. Originally the matter was scheduled for consideration by Council on February 13, 2024, however, that meeting was cancelled, and the notice was amended to reflect the date change. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

During the public meeting held as part of the February 20, 2024 Council meeting, members of the public did not provide comment. The Applicant was present to address questions raised by members of Council. To date there have been no comments or concerns raised from the public. As outlined in the December 5, 2023 Report to Council, Mr. Bilkovski canvassed property owners along Neill Lane and has received, in writing, consent to change the lane name. As requested by Council, the following table provides a summary of road/lane names issued between 2021 for either new or re-named roads/lanes: Summary of Road/Lane Names Issued Between 2021 and 2024 (Selected From Schedule A) Year: Name: 2021 Kayak Lane 2022

Spruce Lane Sandy Lane Salamander Lane Monarch Lane Clover Lane Chickadee Lane

2023

Woodrush Lane Cypress Lane Bittersweet Drive

2024

Coyote Lane

It is worthy to note that all of the names outlined in the above table were selected from Schedule A of By-Law 2015-60. There have been no instances between 2021 and present where a road/lane name has been issued for a name which was not included on Schedule A of By-law 2015-60. The following table offers a summary of road/lane names issued following the passage of By-law 2015-60 which were not selected from Schedule A of By-law 2015-60: Summary of Road/Lane Names Utilized Post Implementation of By-law 2015-60 (Names not included in Schedule A) Year: Name: 2015 Passchendaele Lane 2020 Sheild Shores Lane Glacier Lane Bird Haven Lane Briscoe Bay Lane Between 2015 and 2023, only five roads/lanes used names which were not included in Schedule A of By-law 2015-60. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Should Council choose to proceed with the renaming of Neill Lane to James Thomas Lane, a draft By-law has been attached to the Report as Exhibit ‘A’. Additionally, as per Clause 3. of By-law 2015-60 which states as follows: “Where a request for a road name other than provided on Schedule ‘A’ is approved, the applicant shall bear the costs for the associated advertising and administration of such change,” Should Council opt to move forward, the applicant will be required to assume all costs to facilitate the renaming of Neill Lane. As outlined in the February 20, 2024, Report, a review of By-law 2015-60 and standard practices suggest that over the course of the past several years, the Township of South Frontenac has typically required that roads/lanes be named in accordance with Schedule A of By-law 2015-60. While the By-law 2015-60 does speak to the administration of fees regarding the naming of a road not listed on Schedule A, the standard practice has been to utilize names from Schedule A of By-law 2015-60. The names listed on Schedule A have been reviewed by staff to ensure no duplication across the Township as well as adjacent municipalities, and ensuring compliance with 911 requirements.

Blue Box Transition Update

Report Number:

2024-041

Summary The purpose of this report is to provide Council an update on the Provincial blue box transition and seek direction to opt-out of curbside collection during the transition period of July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. Recommendation That delegated authority be given to the Chief Administrative Officer and Director of Public Services to make decisions and enter into contracts or agreements on behalf of the Township related to the Blue Box Transition; That the Township Opt-Out of curbside collection for the transition period of July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025; and That the Township Alternate Opt-In for depot collection at the landfills for the transition period of July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

Background On September 19, 2023, Council was provided information on the changes to the Provincial Blue Box Regulation O.Reg 391/21 and the transition to Full Producer Responsibility. The agenda materials for this meeting are available here. Circular Materials Ontario (CMO) is the producer responsible organization administering the recycle collection on behalf of all producers in Ontario. The Township’s transition date to the Full Producer Responsibility model is July 1, 2025 and there is a transition period from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 where municipalities can choose to opt in or out to continue providing collection operations. The decisions being considered in this report apply only to the six month transition period and CMO take full control of the blue box recycling program on January 1, 2026.

Page 55 of 98

Discussion/Analysis On January 24, 2024 Circular Materials set a deadline of March 15, 2024 for Municipality to declare if they are opting in or out for collection during the transition period. If a declaration as not been received by the deadline the Municipality will be considered as opting out. The declaration of opting in or out during transition and entering into master service agreements with CMO, delegates, or their contractors will require signing authority and we are seeking delegated authority to the Chief Administrative Officer and Director of Public Services for decisions or agreements that are urgent or time sensitive in nature. Details on curbside collection, depots, and recommendations are provided below. Curbside Collection The Township is eligible to opt in to provide curbside and depot collection services during the transition period by accepting the master framework agreement and statement of work with CMO. Entering into an agreement for collection would make the Township a contractor to CMO for the six months and our current collection contractor a sub-contractor. The Township would be responsible for ensuring the CMO contract terms and contractor obligations are met for the Townships sub-contractor including monitoring of service, reporting, and the target of 4% contamination threshold. As the Township doesn’t currently provide the curbside collection service in house there is no benefit to opting in to provide this service for the transition period as it will be a contracted service regardless. All of the neighbouring Municipalities consulted are opting out of curbside collection and our current receiving facility, Kingston Area Recycling Centre, is closing on July 1, 2025. Depot Collection The Township currently provides recycle depot collection at the northern landfill sites in addition to curbside collection. There are three options for depot transition:

Opt-in – Township becomes a contractor to CMO for the operation of the depot and is responsible for the hauling and delivery of the material to the designated receiving facility. Township is responsible for the costs to run the sites and receives payment form CMO.
Alternate Opt-In – The township becomes a contractor to CMO and is responsible for the operation of the depot under a standard of work agreement. CMO responsible for the hauling and delivery of materials plus the costs to rent, maintain, or purchase collection bins.
Opt-Out – CMO takes over depot collection services. No guarantee depots will remain in current locations. The current collection depots hours coincide with the landfill hours of operation and are staffed by a Township landfill attendant. As staff will already be assigned at the location it is recommended we proceed with the Alternate Opt-In option to provide the operation of the depot but not be responsible for the hauling and delivery of materials. There is a possibility www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report Number – 2024-041

that CMO could chose not to fund collection depots, move depot locations, or close depots after transition as the Township currently provides curbside collection to all residents. Non Eligible Sources CMO has stated that non-eligible sources that were previously being collected would be eligible for collection at a fee paid by the municipality during the transition period. This would only be for the transition period and the collection of non-eligible sources will no longer be part of the CMO collection system as of January 1, 2026. A review of the Townships industrial, commercial, and institution properties showed inconsistencies in current collection provided and we are therefore recommending that the Township stop collecting non-eligible sources on the transition date of July 1, 2025. At this time, there are no options for disposing recycle materials from non-eligible sources at any of the receiving facilities. Staff can continue to research options for non-eligible sources at councils’ direction. Financial Implications Council will be provided a report in advance of the 2025 budget preparation to provide details on the Township’s current recycle collection costs, Kingston Area Recycle Centre costs and revenues, and Stewardship Ontario payments. After transition the Township will no longer be responsible for the cost of curb side blue box collection however there will be no revenue from Stewardship Ontario for the producers’ portion that is paid in the current recycling model.

Noise By-law Amendment regarding Section 7. Enforcement

Report Number:

2024-032

Summary The purpose of the Report is to provide Council with background information regarding a proposed amendment to By-law 2015-41, As Amended, ‘A By-law to Prohibit and Regulate Noise Within the Township of South Frontenac’ (Noise By-law). Recommendation That By-law 2024-19, attached as Exhibit A being a By-law to “A By-Law to Amend By-Law 2015-41, As Amended, ‘A By-law to Prohibit and Regulate Noise Within the Township of South Frontenac’”, be given first and second reading; and That By-law 2024-19 be given third reading, signed and sealed. Background On August 4, 2015, Council approved By-law 2015-41, A By-Law to Prohibit and Regulate Noise Within The Township Of South Frontenac. Following the approval of By-law 2022-82 by Council on September 6, 2022, Section 7. of the By-law regarding Enforcement states as follows: “This by-law shall be enforced by the by-law enforcement officers of the Municipality. a) No person shall obstruct or hinder or attempt to obstruct or hinder a Provincial Offences Officer or other authorized employee or agent of the Township in the exercise of a power or the performance of a duty under this by-law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of this By-law, any person who fails to provide proof of identification satisfactory to the Provincial Offences Officer when requested to do so by the Provincial Offences Officer is deemed to obstruct an Officer under this By-Law.”

Page 59 of 98

Discussion/Analysis The approval of By-law 2022-82 also permitted an administrative monetary penalty to be issued in response to a contravention of the Noise By-law. Section 6. regarding Penalties states as follows: “Every person who contravenes any of the provisions of this by-law is guilty of an office and shall, upon conviction, be liable to a fine pursuant to the Provincial Offences Act. a) Every Person who contravenes any provision of this By-Law shall, upon issuance of a Penalty Notice in accordance with the By-Law to Impose Administrative Monetary Penalties On Violations Of Municipal By-Laws 2022-70, be liable to pay to the Township an Administrative Monetary Penalty in accordance with By-Law Number 2022-70.” To provide clarity regarding the administrative monetary penalty process, since the enactment of By-law 2022-82, by-law officers of the Municipality (Frontenac Municipal Law Enforcement) have issued an administrative monetary penalty in response to a contravention of the Noise By-law. Following discussion with the Ontario Provincial Police it has been determined that it would be beneficial for Ontario Provincial Police officers working from the Frontenac Detachment to be able to issue an administrative monetary penalty in response to a contravention of the Noise By-law. The Township of South Frontenac, Clerk’s Department would process the penalty in the same fashion that is utilized to issue an administrative monetary penalty on behalf of Frontenac Municipal Law Enforcement. It is inherent to note, that Frontenac Municipal Law Enforcement will remain the primary body responsible for the enforcement of the Noise By-law, however, the proposed amendment would provide Ontario Provincial Police officers with another effective tool to curb nuisance behaviour. Staff propose that the following amendment to Section 7. of the Noise By-law: Enforcement 7.

This by-law shall be enforced by the by-law enforcement officers of the Municipality and the Ontario Provincial Police. a) No person shall obstruct or hinder or attempt to obstruct or hinder a Provincial Offences Officer, Ontario Provincial Police Officer or other authorized employee or agent of the Township in the exercise of a power or the performance of a duty under this by-law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of this By-law, any person who fails to provide proof of identification satisfactory to the Provincial Offences Officer when requested to do so by the Provincial Offences Officer is deemed to obstruct an Officer under this By-Law.”

Should the proposed amendment be approved, it is anticipated that the Clerk will provide an orientation session to the Ontario Provincial Police officers stationed at the Frontenac Detachment regarding the Noise By-law in April 2024. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

2024 Department Priorities

Report Number:

2023-038

Summary The purpose of this report is to provide Council an update on this year’s major projects and initiatives for the Public Services Department. Recommendation This Report is for information purposes only. Background During the Council orientation presentations, the Public Services Department informed Council on regulatory changes from the Province that were changing how the Township conducts business and departmental priorities for 2023. The purpose of this briefing is to provide Council an update on major projects and initiatives the department is working on this year in addition to the approved capital and operating programs. Discussion/Analysis Blue Box Transition On September 19, 2023 Council was provided an update on the Provincial Blue Box Transition Ontario Regulation 391/21. Circular Materials Ontario has set a deadline of March 15, 2024 for Municipalities to opt-in or opt-out of providing recycle collection during the transition period of July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. A recommendation will be provided for this in a separate report. Asset Management Plan Ontario Regulation 588/17 required Municipalities to develop asset management plans (AMP). Last year the Township completed the first phase of the AMP for the core infrastructure assets. The second phase of the AMP is for the non-core assets and includes things like facilities, equipment, fleet, IT infrastructure, park infrastructure and sidewalks. Development of the AMP for these assets including proposed level of service, lifecycle management, and financial strategy is required by July 1, 2024. www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.

Building Condition Assessment The 2023 capital budget had an approved project to update building condition assessment. The last building condition assessment was completed in 2016 and the intent of the project was to update the information. Facilities are a requirement in the second phase of the AMP and because of this the scope of the project has increased to breaking out the major components in each facility and providing the data in a format to be used in the AMP. This assignment is forecasted to be completed by October 31st, 2024. Climate Action Plan The Township has started development of a corporate climate change action plan with Strategy Corp. This will require the Public Services department to compile data on energy systems and use to help develop a base line for GHG emissions for the plan. The Township is also required to report annual energy use to the Province under Ontario Regulation 25/23. The annual reporting for 2022 and 2023 is required by July 1, 2024 and staff time will be required to sort the historical data and produce these reports. Environmental Compliance Approval – Stormwater Management System This year, the Township will be required to initiate a monitoring and performance program for the Township’s stormwater assets. Public Services will also be moving forward with the first year of mandatory reporting to the Ministry under the new ECA program. These new legislated requirements are expected to require additional and dedicated staffing resources going forward under the new program. Recreation Fee & Facility Allocation Policy On March 7, 2023 Council approved the award of the Recreation Service Fee & Facility Allocation project to Sierra Planning & Management. The project scope was to review current service levels and agreements with user groups and to provide a recommendation on possible fee structures with sample rental agreements. The project is wrapping up and the findings will be presented to the Recreation Committee and Council in the second quarter of 2024. Hearing Loss Prevention Program Ontario Regulation 381/15 under the Occupational Health and Safety Act requires employers to ensure no worker is exposed to a sound level greater than a time-weighted average exposure limit of 85 dBA measured over an 8-hour work day. The Townships health and safety policies and standard operating procedures for hearing protection need to be updated to reflect this requirement to ensure staff are wearing hearing protection with the proper noise reduction rating to protect the worker.

What does it mean to live with food insecurity?

“I am not able to find food that fits with my cultural identity.” “I cannot afford to buy healthy foods.” “I have very little money left to buy food after paying rent.” “I skip meals so that there is enough food for my children.”

Households with low incomes are often forced to use their food budget to pay for other expenses.* Resources:

Food is a basic human right. Everyone deserves the right to adequate, healthy, safe, affordable, and culturally appropriate food. People who live with household food insecurity cannot afford to buy the food they want and need for good health.1

16 percent of households in the Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington (KFL&A) area live with food insecurity.2 This equals about one in six households in the KFL&A area. The experience of food insecurity can range from concerns about running out of food before there is money to buy more (marginal), to the inability to afford a balanced diet (moderate), to going hungry, missing meals, and in extreme cases, not eating for whole days because of a lack of food and money for food (severe).3

Page 84 of 98

Food insecurity negatively affects health.1 • Children who are hungry are more likely to develop depression and asthma later in life. • Adults who are food insecure have poorer physical and mental health, and are more likely to have chronic conditions such as depression, diabetes, and heart disease. • Food insecure adults with chronic conditions have more difficulty managing their conditions.

Food insecure households are likely to:3

Income is the strongest predictor of food insecurity among individuals and families in Canada.1

• worry about running out of food • compromise their food quality • reduce their food intake • experience disrupted eating patterns

Food insecurity is highest among:1 • Indigenous Peoples and racialized Canadians • households making low wages or on social assistance • single mothers • people who rent their home

2023 Monitoring local food affordability scenarios Below are 10 real world scenarios for families and individuals living on a fixed income, social assistance or earning minimum wage. For each scenario, the monthly cost of the Nutritious Food Basket and rent is compared to the monthly income. This shows the important role that income has on food security. It also shows who may experience food insecurity.

The Nutritious Food Basket contains 61 foods that reflect a healthy eating pattern from Canada’s Food Guide.

Many of the scenarios show that social assistance is not enough to pay for rent and food such that by months end there is little, if any, money left over to pay for other basic needs. The incomes for the Kingston and Napanee scenarios are based on median income (Ontario), Ontario Works, Ontario Disability Support Program and minimum wage, with added government income sources such as Canada Child Benefit, GST/HST credit and Ontario Trillium Benefit etc. See the Appendices for the Nutritious Food Basket calculation, and full list of income scenario sources.

How do we determine the cost of eating healthy in our community?

What is not included in this food costing?

KFL&A Public Health determines the cost of eating healthy by costing food items from the National Nutritious Food Basket.4,5 The 61 foods costed reflect a healthy eating pattern from Canada’s Food Guide.6

• processed convenience foods • soft drinks • popular snack foods • special dietary foods • infant foods • religious or cultural foods • soap, shampoo, toilet paper, and other personal care items • eating out in restaurants • extra costs involved in having company to share meals

Seven grocery stores were surveyed online and in store in May. The lowest available price in each store is recorded for each food item. The prices from all the stores are then averaged. An extra five percent is added to the total food cost to account for additional food items such as spices, seasonings, condiments, baking supplies, soups, coffee, and tea. KFL&A Public Health used the same process as in 2022, based on the 2020 update to the National Nutritious Food Basket and changes to the costing methodology. As such, the results from this year’s food costing results can only be compared to the 2022 results.

What else should you know about this food costing?

Responses to food insecurity Income responses are needed to address food insecurity.7 Food charity and community food programs cannot address the root cause of food insecurity, which is inadequate income. Income responses are typically government policies that can improve income security at a systemic level, through income transfers, employment policies, pensions, tax exemptions or credits and social assistance programs.8

The following are recommendations for how governments and community organizations can help reduce household food insecurity.

Federal and provincial governments:1,9 • Establish targets for the reduction of household food insecurity and regularly report on progress. • Regularly report on provincial-level food insecurity data, including for Indigenous Peoples and racialized Canadians, to inform the creation of targeted policies.

Municipal governments and local community partners:1,9

• Advocate for federal and provincial government policies and programs to ensure all Canadians can afford to eat healthy food, including: ο Higher minimum wage rates Federal government:1,3 ο Increasing social assistance rates • Implement policy interventions that have been shown ο Reducing income tax rates for to effectively reduce food insecurity, such as a basic the lowest income households income guarantee for Canadians aged 18 to 64 years. ο A basic income guarantee • Re-evaluate current income supports for very low income, • Facilitate local level initiatives working-aged Canadians and their families such as the that increase economic resilience Canada Child Benefit and Canada Workers Benefit, to for those at greatest risk of ensure all Canadians can afford to eat healthy food. of food insecurity, such as • Develop a new definition of “affordable housing”, individuals and families with low not based on percentage of total income, and incomes, Indigenous Peoples, that considers other basic costs of living. racialized Canadians, single • Support food security in Indigenous communities as part of mothers and people who rent the Food Policy for Canada, emphasizing Indigenous food their home. Examples include self-determination and reconciliation as guiding principles. free income tax filing assistance and targeted support for access Provincial government:1,9 to and training for jobs with livable wages and benefits. • Set a minimum wage rate that more closely • Collaborate with community aligns with costs of living in Ontario. partners from various sectors, • Determine evidence-based social assistance rates including municipalities and in communities based on local/regional costs of local public health, to determine living, including the cost of eating healthy. local priorities to address food • Lower the income tax rate for the insecurity and poverty. lowest-income households. 9

Scenario 7 One adult (female 70+ years of age) living in a one bedroom accommodation; income based on Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement (OAS/GIS).

Scenario 2 Two adults (male and female 31 to 50 years of age), two children (girl eight years of age, boy 14 years of age) living in a three bedroom accommodation; income is based on one minimum wage earner, 40hr/ wk, $15.50/hr (minimum wage in May 2023).

Scenario 8 Two adults (male and female 31 to 50 years of age) living in a one bedroom accommodation; ODSP.

Scenario 3 Two adults (male and female 31 to 50 years of age), two children (girl eight years of age, boy 14 years of age) living in a three bedroom accommodation. NOTE: Income from employment is based on median after-tax income in Ontario- couples with children; however, EI and CPP contributions are calculated using median total incomecouples with children. Assumption of a dual income family with a split of 65% / 35% between partners.

Scenario 10 One adult (female 31 to 50 years of age), two children (girl three years of age, boy 4 years of age) living in a two bedroom accommodation; income is based on one minimum wage earner, 40hr/ wk, $15.50/hr (minimum wage in May 2023).

Scenario 9 One adult (female pregnant 19 to 30 years of age) living in a one bedroom accommodation; ODSP.

Rental costs are based on averages from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Rental Market Survey. The survey is conducted during the first 2 weeks of October in urban areas with populations of 10,000 or more and the results reflect market conditions at that time.

Scenario 4 One adult (female 31 to 50 years of age), two children (girl eight years of age, boy 14 years of age) living in a two bedroom accommodation; OW.

The survey includes both new and existing units in privately initiated structures with at least 3 rental units. The cost for a new tenant would likely be higher, as current tenants are protected from large annual increases by Ontario’s residential rent increase guideline. Utility costs (e.g., heat, electricity, hot water) may or may not be included in the rental amounts.

Scenario 5 One adult (male 31 to 50 years of age) living in a bachelor accommodation; OW. Scenario 6 One adult (male 31 to 50 years of age) living in a one bedroom accommodation; Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP).
