6. Discussion Items

a) Facilities Review

I. Cardinal

Members noted that the Walking Track at the lngredion Centre is open and a number of residents are using the facility. The Committee reviewed the Arena Use Strategy, as it pertains to the lngredion Centre. Members discussed the early morning adult skating, noting that some residents want to start skating very early in the morning before the arena staff has officially opened. Staff noted that the public should be made aware that the adult skating in the morning runs from 8:30 am to 9:30 am, as there have been residents arriving as early as 7:20 am. Staff mentioned that it is difficult for the arena staff to complete their required morning tasks when people arrive an hour early, as they need to finish the flooding , cleaning, and outside maintenance. It was noted that the Spencerville arena holds adult public skating on Wednesday's and Friday's as well. Members deliberated if an Bam open of the lngredion Centre may be a workable compromise.

Committee noted that drone racing is still an interesting idea and members will research and discuss with people who may be interested in using the facilities for practice.

Members discussed the Cardinal baseball diamonds and noted that there are currently only 2 minor level baseball teams using the main diamond while Johnstown has 9 teams. Members discussed the idea of converting either the tennis court or the second ball diamond into extra parking for the lngredion Centre. Members agreed that there is limited parking, especially on weekends, hockey tournaments, and when there is a special event. Members noted the possibility of extending the west side parking lot to accommodate the increase.

Members enquired about the baby pool usage, with staff noting that a tally of the overall pool statistics will be available at the end of the swimming season.

Members briefly discussed the Cardinal Legion Park area, noting that staff has been hard at work painting the Pavilion and picnic tables, as well as controlling the wild parsnip. Goose prevention methods along the Galop Canal shore were discussed.

II. Johnstown

Committee put forward the idea to start cooking and bridge classes at the Johnstown Community Centre and, with the help of the Recreation Coordinator, to organize bus tours and excursions for seniors.


Committee reviewed the Canada 150 Grant Submission for the Johnstown Sports Courts. Staff summarized the recently announced Ontario 150 Grant. Members noted that work on the sports courts and pools are a higher priority than other facilities for funding applications.

Ill. Spencerville- None

IV. Galop Canal

Members briefly discussed the cormorant control initiative.

b) New Ideas Brainstorming

Members brought forward the idea to include a canoe/kayak poker run at the 2nd

Annual Port Day. Members suggested that the canoes and kayaks could be launched at the small beach near the Port of Johnstown and make their way down the river to the Cardinal Legion. Members noted that SERA may be interested in participating.

Members briefly discussed the idea to install a ladder along Galop Canal to assist swimmers getting in and out, instead of trying to climb up stones. Staff noted that there signs along the Canal warning swimmers to "swim at own risk". Members commented that installing a ladder would be a liability issue for the Township, and staff should consult with the insurance company to confirm.

e) Eyes in the Community

Members noted that they heard about the weed control measures on the local radio stations. Members commented on the flower boxes on the Spencerville bridge and the various hanging baskets and flower beds in Cardinal. Members suggested a kid's duct tape boat race for the Labour Day festivities in Cardinal.

Mayor Sayeau left the Committee meeting at 7:45 pm.

7. Information Items

a) Arena Use Strategy

Members noted that Arena Use Strategy was discussed throughout the above discussion items.

b) Next Meeting Location- Cardinal, August 11th

Members confirmed that the next Recreation Advisory Committee is being held on August 11th, 2016 in Cardinal.


8. Inquiries/Notices of Motion from Committee Members

Councillor Morrell commended the Community Development Coordinator's work on the Canada 150 grant submissions.

9. Question Period- None

10. Closed Session - None

TOWNSHIP OF EDWARDSBURGH CARDINAL INFORMATION ITEM

Committee: Recreation Advisory Committee

Date: August 11, 2016

Department: Recreation

Topic: 2016 Programming Update

Background: The Recreation Coordinator has assembled a report of possible programs that

could be offered within the Township. The report is broken down into the following sections:

Leaders in Training Program

School-Year Camps

Fitness Programs

Senior Specific Recreation

Non-Sport Recreation

2

Leaders in Training Within our community there are many young teenagers who would love to gain valuable

experience in the workforce but struggle to find the opportunities that will put them ahead later

in life. Leaders in training will provide young teenagers the opportunity to experience different

summer job opportunities which could lead them in developing invaluable skills for their future

careers.

Explanation: Leaders in training is a program that would allow us to recruit future staff members,

gain some extra help, and allow participants to build their resumes and gain work experience.

Leaders in training would be available for anyone between the ages of 13-16. This could be a one

month summer course where the participants would; help out with campers, attend one of the day

trips, shadow lifeguard, assist in teaching swimming lessons, and become certified in bronze star

and CPR-B (potentially CPR-C). If this is successful we could look into providing further

opportunities such as; shadowing the parks and recreation crew, and administration.

Offering:

Volunteer Experience

Lifeguarding Experience under a certified NLS lifeguard

Assistant Instructing

Bronze Star Certification

Experience with Day Camps

Learning different games and teaching techniques

An opportunity to lead games with the campers

Resume building

References

*This program could qualify for the Partnership Program Grant, through the Ontario 150 grant,

which supports and encourages new partnerships and collaborations that engage, enable, and

employ youth as the next generation of leaders.

School Year Camps The 2016-2017 school year has allotted students a total of four weeks of holidays and/or

professional activity time. This means that there will be at least three weeks (excluding

Christmas) that parents need to have child care for their children. In 2015 a P.A Day Camp was

put on by the Township and saw great success.

Advertising: Starting the last week in October/Early November we can send flyers home with the

students of the surrounding schools (Benson, South Edwardsburg, Maynard, Centennial, St.

Marks), tape flyers to mailboxes, and display flyers within local stores. We will offer a package

deal for both camps and all P.A days, we will also promote that families can pick some or all of

the camps to attend and offer prices in accordance to their childcare needs.

Holiday Camp

Date: Monday January 2nd – Friday January 6th

The Ontario school board has decided that this year the 2016 Holiday school break will be from

Monday December 26th- Monday January 6th. This leaves one full week after Christmas and New

Year’s that most parents will be required to work and find childcare for their children who are

out of school. Offering a one week holiday day camp from January 2nd – January 6th will bring in

revenue, allow parents to have affordable care for their child, and give children a fun, and active

alternative to their holiday break.

About: The Holiday Day Camp will offer 25-30 spots on a first come first serve basis. With the

use of the Recreation Coordinator and hiring of two students, we will be able to offer: holiday

themed crafts, activities, daily physical activity, swimming, and skating. *Could utilize more

non-prime ice time if we could find a location closer to the rinks to host the camp.

March Break Camp

Date: Monday March 13th-Friday March 17th

Reason: Most families do not have time to travel and go on vacations over March Break anymore

due to the increasing demands at work. Parents are not able to get time off and the cost of the

Canadian dollar forces families who normally travel to stay home. Therefore there is a higher

number of parents looking for affordable daycare/ day camp for their children while they are out

of school. Although there are a number of March break camps, most are expensive and require

families to travel to Brockville or Ottawa.

About: The March Break Day Camp will offer 25-30 spots on a first come first serve basis.

With the use of myself and hiring of two students, we will be able to offer: crafts, activities, daily

physical activity, swimming, skating, and perhaps organize a trip to the Playtrium or Kingston

IMAX.* Could utilize more non-prime ice time.

Schools-Out Days

This year the Upper Canada District School Board has allotted the following days as professional

activity days:

4

Friday October 28th, 2016

Friday November 25th, 2016

Thursday February 2nd, 2017

Friday April 7th, 2017

Thursday June 2nd, 2017

We could utilize the Spencerville Arena, or the Cardinal Fire Hall to run day programming for

the professional activity days. We could offer crafts, organized games, daily physical activity,

themed days, and skating.

Financial Implications: We would require at least two students to help run the programs. It would

be best to have the same two students for all of the camp weeks/days. We could offer them an

hourly rate of $10.50 per hour or we could offer them a base rate of $1300.00 at the end of June.

Cost (Per Week):

Fitness Programming One of our goals as a community should be to promote healthy active living and instil these

values into the next generation. Rather than running the programs through the Township, we

hope to reach out to the community to see who has certifications in fitness programming and

would be willing to donate their time. We could offer the facility for free for the first two-three

weeks and once the program is running and successfully bringing in profit to the instructor we

can begin to charge a rental fee.

Scheduling/Facilities: The Township could offer space for various classes in Johnstown at the

Community Centre and Spencerville on the second floor at Township office. Staff could reach

out to make connections with church halls/other facilities in Cardinal.

Spin Classes

Spinning is a new fitness craze, and is not available anywhere but the Brockville YMCA

infrequently. Spin classes can be adapted to meet the needs of the; elderly, youth, and middle-

aged clientele. Many hockey coaches are looking for good cardio and different programs for

their players, this could be an opportunity for us to promote this program and gain more

participation. It is possible that we will bring in clients from Kemptville, Brockville, and

surrounding towns to participate in these classes, which in turn could benefit our ice rentals, and

community participation.

Financial Implications: In order to run this program, equipment would need to be purchased

(approx. $10,000 for spinning bikes ). The Recreation Coordinator soon to be a certified spinning

instructor, so could run the classes as part of her current position to start. Class registration,

preparation and fee collection would be taken care of by the Recreation Coordinator, and all

profits would return to the Township. Grants for recreation/senior/youth may also be sought to

offset costs.

It is difficult to gage the interest level for a new program such as spin classes. A cost effective

alternative would be to rent spin bikes for a specific period of time (approx. $2500) and run trial

classes throughout that time frame. Ultimately this will allow us insight into the interest and

participation levels of the community members, which in turn will allow us to make the decision

to purchase our own spin bikes or not.

Zumba Classes

Zumba is a new fitness craze which holds many health benefits; you are burning fat and calories,

improving your coordination, you get a full body workout, increased confidence, you have fun,

and it boosts your mood! Zumba can be adapted for both seniors and youth, allowing you to cater

to whichever demographic you choose. Zumba is a unique fitness program in that it is a program

with no age limits, and endless enjoyment. Geared towards any age group (young adult, senior

etc) this program could be offered weekly.

6

Financial Implications: Township may choose to waive or charge rental fees for the use of

facilities. All program registration, equipment and fee collection would be taken care of by the

instructor.

Boot Camp

Boot camp offers fun and different cardio, strength-training exercises to help participants get fit

and lead a healthy active life. Geared towards any age group (young adult, senior etc) this

program could be offered weekly.

Financial Implications: Township may choose to waive or charge rental fees for the use of

facilities. All program registration, equipment and fee collection would be taken care of by the

instructor.

Organized Sports - Indoor Soccer & Basketball

Staff would approach high school students to gage the interest of students leading the program.

We would offer them 4 hours per/week at an estimated rate of $10.50 per/hour to run an indoor

soccer program in the fall and an indoor basketball program in the winter.

Utilizing the school gymnasiums within the Township, the Township could offer indoor soccer

& Basketball throughout the fall/ winter/sprig months. Participants can learn basic skills,

increase their cardio, and play small scrimmage games.

Financial Implications: Staff would need to engage local high school youth/ adults who would be

interested in organizing and running these programs (a small wage could be provided). Township

could organize registration and collect fees for the program.

Senior-Specific Recreation Existing Programs

The Spencerville and Cardinal Libraries offer a few senior related programs:

Stich ‘n Bitch

Needlework

Book Club

Bridge Night **now running**

Tuesday mornings at the Johnstown community centre 9am-12pm. This provides participants an

opportunity to learn bridge, socialize, and meet new people. The card tables are borrowed from

the Parish Centre and the card decks are donated by SERA.

Partnership with Walker House

Staff will look into meeting with Susan Vallom the Director of Walker House and discuss the

possibility of creating a partnership with Walker House and the Township of Edwardsburgh/

Cardinal. We will aim to help organize more seniors’ outings and arrange a pick up and drop off

in Cardinal and Johnstown.

7

Y on the Fly Seniors

Staff will look into partnering with the Brockville and Area YMCA to bring the Y on the Fly

Seniors program back to Johnstown for the 2016-2017 school year. This program has run in the

past every Tuesday in June from 1:30-3:00 where they offer active warm up, fitness and nutrition

conversation, strength training, active games, and stretching.

Non-Sport Recreation Play Groups

Playgroups are a great resource for parents. By organizing playgroups in different locations it

allows parents to meet new people, to ask questions to program facilitators about childhood

development, to learn new games, and allow their child/infant to interact with children.

We could utilize different locations such as; the Scared Heart parish centre, and the Johnstown

Community Centre, Public Libraries etc. The parents would be able to watch their children

interact with other children, or could go through different stations with their child such as;

colouring, kitchen play, books etc. Half of the playgroup would be spent with the child playing

on their own or with their parent, the second half would be led by the facilitator who would read

books, sing songs, and play games.

We will contact the Ontario Early Years Centre and see if they are currently running similar

programs and see if they would be able to offer programming within the Township.

Kids Learn to Paint

Saturday mornings at the Johnstown Community Centre we could host a ‘Kids Learn to Paint!’

workshop throughout the winter months.

Financial Implications: We will look into utilizing two volunteers or hiring two students to

instruct the programming. However we will connect with the owner of the Galop Art Gallery to

see if she would be interested in organizing this recreation program, or advising on how we

would go about successfully implementing this program.

Y on the Fly

The Brockville and Area YMCA offers Y on the Fly program which is an afterschool program

that is offered once a week from 3:30-4:30. We will look to partner with the Brockville YMCA

to bring Y on the Fly back to Cardinal and Spencerville for the 2016-2017 school year.

Parks, Recreation & Facilities

Ongoing Park Maintenance -Wild Parsnip

Background: Vegetation/Weed control is an important component of park maintenance. Wild Parsnip is an invasive plant that is increasingly common within the Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal in areas of uncultivated land, roadside ditches, parks and nature trails, as well as on and surrounding rural and Township properties. Wild parsnip can potentially pose a health risk to both humans and animals. The plant sap contains chemicals that may cause skin and eye irritation and make the skin prone to burning and blistering when exposed to the sun. The blisters typically occur one to two days after contact with the plant and can result in long term scarring of the skin. Attached is Appendix A which is an overview of wild parsnip fundamentals and eradication practices.

The Parks, Recreation and Facilities department is actively taking steps to control and minimize the wild parsnip on township property. Staff began work to control the wild parsnip along Galop Canal the first week of June with a massive brush cleaning and mowing (one mower resulting in 25 man hours) and two staff members with chain saws and wood chipper to assist in clearing out the parsnip (40 hours).

The second week of July, nine staff members (90 hours) completed another round of cutting and clearing out brush, as well as weed trimming and grass cutting areas known for wild parsnip which resulted in the Galop Canal Park being closed to the public for the day. The closure was made public on both the Township website and through social media outlets. Staff will continue to monitor the areas and return to spots that have been cut back with the mowers to manage the wild parsnip and other weeds.

Plans and preparation for the Legion Park have been set for the third week of July to trim the shore line. With the assistance of the Edwardsburgh Cardinal Fire Department, to help avoid closing the entire park grounds for the day, the grass and weeds cut at the Legion Park will be sprayed down with water.

Page 1 of 2

The Township is in the process of having new signage made {see Appendix 8} that will be displayed to the general public and indicate what wild parsnip is and what to do if someone comes into contact with the weed. The new caution signage is going to be displayed at Galop Canal Park, Legion Park, and posted on the Township social media in an effort to educate residents and park users.

WILD PARSNIP ERADICATION

CAUTION: IN UNDERTAKING ANY WILD PARSNIP ERADICATION EFFORT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH ALL OF THE NECESSARY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND THAT YOU WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND GOGGLES THAT COVER EXPOSED SKIN.

Below are outlined some fundamental factors that will assist in both understanding the growth and spread of wild

parsnip as well as some basic factors in understanding effective wild parsnip eradication. The second page provides

more specific details in wild parsnip eradication options.

WILD PARSNIP FUNDAMENTALS

NOTE: The most crucial fundamental factor in wild parsnip growth management is Do not allow wild parsnip plants to

form viable seeds. Every wild parsnip plant that is allowed to go to seed will create upwards of 950 new wild parsnip

plants.

lifecycle Fundamentals:

1. Wild Parsnip is a biennial plant meaning it normally has a life span of 2 years.

2. Wild Parsnip does not flower during its first year ofgrowth.

3. Contact with non-flowering 1st year wild parsnip plants is just as dangerous as with mature 2"d year plants.

4. Wild Parsnip normally forms seed heads in late June thru early July during its second year of growth.

5. Wild Parsnip seeds become viable approximately 3 weeks from the time they first flower.

6. Wild Parsnip plants permanently die after going to seed in their second year of growth.

Eradication Fundamentals: (Second Year Plants)

Because wild parsnip plants normally die after going to seed in their second year of growth it can be controlled by

removing the seed heads from the second year plants as soon as the seed head forms. The outcome is a plant that has

died and left no seeds for further growth. Removal of seed heads can be accomplished by:

1. Flowering wild parsnip (2"d year plants) should be allowed to form the flower head before cutting

2. Timely mowing (During the three week window from when it first flowers and when seeds are viable)

3. Cutting off seed heads with hand cutters

4. Manually removing the plants by pulling or digging

5. Chopping the roots with a shovel below the root crown

6. Spraying the plants with an appropriate herbicide spray

Note: An exception to the rule is that if eradicating through the use of herbicides it is best done early in the season

while the plants are smaller. It is still effective in June or July but as the summer progresses the kill rate with herbicide

spray is somewhat reduced.

Eradication Fundamentals: (First Year Plants)

1. First Year Plants do not form flower heads 2. Mowing often requires multiple applications for eradication 3. First year plants should be considered just as dangerous as the second year plants 4. Manually removing the plants by pulling or digging is effective for smaller patches 5. Chopping the roots with a shovel below the root crown is effective 6. Spraying the plants with an appropriate herbicide sprayis very effective

MOWING • Mowing is a very effective management solution during certain times of the year and where terrain is conducive to reaching the plants with the mower. Poorly timed mowing can Increase the number of seedlings and the

percentage of plants surviving to maturity. The best way to control the spread of Wild Parsnip and keep it at bay Is to mow or "weed eat" it just when the flower buds are beginning to show (somewhere between late June and early July). To mow or use the weed eater later in the season will actually contribute to spreading the seeds and therefore expand the area of Wild Parsnip Infestation. • Some plants will re-sprout or flower late, so follow-up mowing or spot-cutting Is often necessary. • If parsnips are mown with a rotary mower, it is very unlikely that there Is enough juice In remnants of stem to produce seeds, so mowing with a rotary mower during the late June through early July period can be very effective. • Continue mowing for at least five years to exhaust the seed bank. Be especially careful when using mowers, weed whips, mechanical string trimmers and other such devices. They tend to spray users with juice and bits of the plants, sometimes leading to hundreds of blisters on exposed skin. • Wear goggles and protective clothing when mowing.

ROOT DESTRUCTION • A very effective method of destroying smaller isolated patches of Wild Parsnip is destroying the plant root. It is best to cut through the tap root below the crown with a shovel or spade in order to control these plants.

HAND PULLING • The best control is achieved mainly through hand-pulling. Although this method will kill the plant, it is not practical for large infestations. Where dealing with mature seed heads on plants consideration can be given to carefully removing the seed heads. The seed heads can be cut off and dropped into garbage bags or other containers for safe disposal. This will prevent further spread of the plant and ultimately can result in ridding the area of Wild Parsnip

HERBICIDE CONTROL • To date the most efficient/effective means of eradicating large patches of Wild Parsnip is through herbicide spraying.

• Ideal times for application of effective herbicides are In the spring and early Summer and again in the fall. Mowing may be more effective in the interim time period. • The optimal time to eradicate Wild Parsnip with herbicides Is when this biennial weed is in the rosette stage.

BURNING • Prescribed burns will not kill established plants; they will re-sprout from their taproots. • Fire often kills newly sprouted seedlings.

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL • To date, no effective biological control agents have been identified for Wild Parsnip.

LIFE CYCLE AND GROWTH • Wild Parsnip is a biennial meaning It does not flower in Its first year of growth. After a plants flower (normally in its second year) and produces seeds, it dies. When a given plant flowers is determined by the size of the rosette. Plants that reach the critical size by the end of the growing season will flower the following spring. • Most seeds are dispersed from the parent plant by the end of September and germination occurs from this time through November and again in the spring. • Wild Parsnip has a long germination period, but the optimum time for germination is In the early spring .and that Is when most germination is expected to occur. Wild Parsnip seedlings are among the first plants to green-up early in the spring. • Being able to readily identify Wild Parsnip and early detection of infested areas will minimize inadvertent exposure to this plant and the painful results that follow. Anyone having information on specific locations where this weed is posing a public risk should contact the Counties Noxious & Nuisance Weed Control Office at 613-342-

3840 ext. 2413.
