does not change the zoning or land
use.
“Aggregate mapping is a trigger,”
she explained.
She said that despite the requests,
the two changes should be made as a
way of keeping an inventory of what
resources there are throughout the
municipality.
The only time the designation
comes into effect is when a change
or building permit is suggested to a
land that has a secondary quality
deposit on it.
McMullen explained that in the
case of a severance or building
permit, aggregate deposits need to
be considered as far as how the new
construction or designation could
affect the future extraction of the
resource.
While farming applications don’t
really affect the aggregate, as barns
are easily manoeuvered around or
taken down, McMullen said that
other uses, such as residential
changes or the construction of
schools, churches or graveyards, can
make it difficult to access aggregates
like gravel from underneath the land.
Whenever a change is suggested,
the aggregate node in question will
have to be studied via core samples
and a determination as to the value
of the deposit will be made.
McMullen said despite the two
requests made, all the aggregate
zones should be designated as such
in the official plan for consistency
and fairness across the municipality.
Council agreed after debating the
issue for some time when it was
pointed out that the new designation
would not change the way the land is
used but would simply acknowledge
the potential presence of mineral
nodes.
The two remaining concerns from
the mapping section McMullen felt
needed to be addressed included
commercial and property in
Wingham and the lands northwest of
the intersections of Highway 86 and
County Road 4.
Reeve Neil Vincent was not
comfortable with the emphasis on
aggregates, stating at the outset of
the official plan renewal process, he
wasn’t aware it would factor in so
heavily.
“I feel nervous saying to
somebody that has an agriculture
zoning that it will be changed even if
they don’t want it changed,” he said.
“I don’t like telling owners, you’ve
got gravel there, it’s got to be
available.”
While it was again explained that
this was just an inventory system,
Vincent remained unconvinced,
saying it was just one more step
towards focusing on aggregate
resources and not on farming.
“If someone definitely doesn’t
want it changed, I think we can keep
the maps of where we think it is for
future reference and not change the
map,” he said.
Council had several questions
regarding definitions and the
application of the Provincial Policy
Statement (PPS) in the document,
which has not been updated in nearly
10 years. McMullen explained that
while the PPS may be updated, the
document didn’t necessarily need to
be updated because planners take the
PPS under advisement when making
changes.
“If something matches the local
plan but not the PPS, my
recommendation would be not to
approve it,” she explained.
Luke Schilder, who has been
attending meetings for the sole
purpose of asking council for
updates on surplus farm residences,
was unhappy with several parts of
the document. However, he
withdrew his only official objection
when it was explained it could hold
up the passing of the rest of the
document, something Schilder
definitely wanted to see happen.
He was unhappy with wording

good to have the technology so
now they can be used to it by the
time they get to high school because
both he and Rodgers can see
many uses for it in almost every
class.
“In high school, they use a lot of
technology,” Rodgers said.
Richmond agreed, stating
whether it’s designing 3D drawings
in a shop class or researching for a
history or English class, the iPad
will be good for all the students to
have.
Goetz said the learner of the 21st
century is a different kind of
learner and schools are responsible
to advocate the needs of the learner.
Goetz said an average textbook
costs $100 and, if the school is
lucky, they get five years out of a
book before it becomes outdated and
needs to be replaced.
Each student uses three different
textbooks among math, science, and
history and geography.
Hunking explained Central Huron
Secondary School was chosen
because all of its feeder schools are
Kindergarten to Grade 8 schools so
this would make for a level playing
field once the students entered the
school.
Mitchel District High School is
also serving as a test ground for the
pilot project as all of its feeder
schools are Kindergarten to Grade 6
and the Grade 7 and 8 students are in
the high school.
Goetz said that due to some
fortuitous proactive upgrades,
very little needs to be done to
prepare the school for the new
technology.
“We recently installed three new
wireless ports in the school, really
the only hole in the wireless
coverage is here in the
administrative office,” she said. “We
will have to bump up the Grade 7
and 8 area as well as the library, so
we will need a new port or two, but
as it stands the infrastructure is in
place.”
Hunking also said having the
services there will soon be
easier than ever thanks to fibre optic
cables being laid in Londesborough
as well as new cellular towers.
