[5. PUBLIC INPUT SESSION]

WELCOME, MR. THOMAS.

THANK YOU, ACTING MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME.

FOR THE RECORD, I AM MIKE THOMAS AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK TO ITEM 7.3.

AS YOU ALREADY STATED.

BUT THEY ALWAYS ASK ME TO SAY THAT ANYWAY WHEN I COME UP.

I'VE BEEN RACKING MY BRAIN SINCE THURSDAY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS THE BEST THING TO SAY TO YOU ABOUT 7.3.

WHAT WILL HAVE THE MOST VALUE.

WHAT WILL HAVE THE MOST IMPACT.

AND AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN AN ADVOCATE FOR ACCESSIBILITY AND ACCOMMODATION FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

AND I'VE BEEN QUITE VOCAL IN OUR TOWN ABOUT IT.

SOMETIMES FOR THE BETTER, SOMETIMES NOT.

WITHOUT BESMIRCHING ANYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE THIS MOMENT IN TIME.

WHAT YOU'RE FACING IN 7.2 7.3 IS AN OPPORTUNITY.

AND WHEN I SAY OPPORTUNITY.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT PREVIOUS COUNCILS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME HAVING SUCCESS AT ACHIEVING.

IS THE TRUE MEANING OF THE WORD OF BEING ACCESSIBLE.

OF BEING AVAILABLE.

OF BEING PRODUCTIVE OR TIMELY.

AND A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, ALMOST YELLED AT ME YESTERDAY AND SAID, DON'T GET UP THERE SOUNDING LIKE THEM.

AND BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT THE SAME THINGS, BUT TO THE PERSON THAT ACTUALLY USES THE BUS.

WHAT I WHAT I HOPE AND WHAT I READ IN THE PACKAGE.

WHAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE YOU IS WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A QUALIFIED ORGANIZATION THAT BID A YEAR AGO TO COMPLETE WORK BY JUNE. FOR WHATEVER REASON IT HASN'T HAPPENED, BUT THE CONTRACT SAYS JULY 10TH.

SO I PRESUME THAT THEY'RE AGREEING TO THE PRICE FROM A YEAR AGO, WHICH IS A UNICORN IN ITSELF.

BUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO FOR US AND WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO FOR YOU.

IS THERE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT IN EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR REVIEW.

THE WORDS ACCESSIBILITY.

NOT JUST THE COST, NOT JUST THE HARD COSTS, NOT JUST THE MANAGEMENT OR THE INFRASTRUCTURE COST, BUT IN EVERY SECTION OF THAT RFP AND THE TENDER, YOU WILL SEE THE WORDS ACCESSIBILITY.

AND THAT'S THERE FOR A REASON.

THE MUNICIPAL ACT.

THE ACCESSIBILITY ACT, THE HUMAN RIGHTS CODE.

THE TRANSPORTATION.

THERE'S AN ENTIRE SECTION OF THE MUNICIPAL ACT DEDICATED TO THE TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS OF MUNICIPALITIES.

AND BY DESIGN, IF YOU OR I ARE IN TORONTO OR AJAX OR WINDSOR OR ELLIOT LAKE, THE STANDARD IS THE SAME.

OTHER WORDS THAT ARE GOING TO COME UP IN THE DISCOVERY OF THIS PROCESS ARE CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REGULATIONS.

NOW WHAT I SAID BEFORE WHERE OTHER COUNCILS HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IS WE HAVE UNIQUE CHALLENGES THAT I'M VERY HOPEFUL THAT THIS ORGANIZATION IS GOING TO RECOGNIZE.

[00:05:01]

WE LIVE IN NORTHERN ONTARIO.

WE BEAT THE HELL OUT OF OUR EQUIPMENT ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE LIVING ANYWHERE ELSE.

THAT BEING SAID, YOUR CONCERNS ARE ALWAYS CAPITAL COSTS.

YOUR CONCERNS ARE ALWAYS THE PRIORITIZATION IS RUNNING THE COMPANY LIKE A COMPANY TO GET THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK POSSIBLE.

WELL, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, AND I'M SURE THAT THERE'S FIVE ENGINEERS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH THIS REPORT ARE GOING TO TELL YOU IS THAT TRANSPORTATION IS NOT A REVENUE POSITIVE BUSINESS. IT'S A REVENUE NEGATIVE GENERATING ENTERPRISE.

AND WHAT I WANT TO IMPRESS UPON YOU FROM MY VOICE TO YOUR EARS IS I ALWAYS HEAR THERE'S ONLY ONE TAXPAYER.

IN THE PRISM OF TRANSPORTATION, IN THE PRISM OF ACCESSIBILITY AND DOING WHAT'S BEST BY THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

THERE'S ONLY ONE CUSTOMER.

AND THAT'S ALL OF US.

EVERYBODY THAT LIVES HERE IS A CUSTOMER OF THIS CORPORATION.

AND WHEN YOU SEE WHAT COMES FORWARD AND I'M VERY HOPEFUL THAT I BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING TO SAY YES TO THIS, I'M HOPEFUL THAT YOU DO.

I HOPE YOU ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS, BECAUSE THERE'S THINGS IN THAT REPORT THAT WOULD PIQUE CURIOSITIES FOR WHAT I SEE ARE THE CONCERNS YOU ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR FINANCE, FOR CAPITAL COSTS, FOR ALL OF THOSE THINGS, FOR ADMINISTRATION, FOR DELEGATION OF HOW IT WORKS.

FROM THE EYES OF A PERSON WITH A DISABILITY.

ONE OF WHICH I AM.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT MOST OF US DO NOT GIVE A SECOND THOUGHT TO GETTING FROM ONE SIDE OF TOWN TO THE OTHER IN FIVE MINUTES.

ANYBODY WHO RIDES THAT BUS, IF THEY GO TO THE DOCTORS, IT'S A THREE HOUR TOUR.

IF THEY GO TO THE GROCERY STORE.

IT'S A THREE HOUR TOUR.

IF YOU WANTED TO RUN YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF A PERSON WITH A DISABILITY, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE A GOOD DAY TO CALL SPECIALIZED TRANSIT AND SAY, I WANT TO GO DO THIS.

THAT HAPPENS FOR THEM EVERY DAY.

IT'S A CHALLENGE JUST TO GET OUT, TO GET SOMEPLACE FOR US AS A COMMUNITY.

IF YOU BRING ACCESSIBLE TRANSIT TO THE FOREFRONT AND MAKE IT WORK, YOU WILL INCREASE NOT ONLY THE ABILITY OF YOUR CUSTOMERS TO ENJOY WHAT YOU PROPOSE AS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, COMMERCE TO THE VENDORS AND THE PUBLIC.

AND THERE'S MYRIADS OF STUDIES THAT THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE CAREER THAT SAY IT'S WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

I KNOW TWO OF YOU ON THE PANEL KNOW THIS ALREADY.

EVERY DOLLAR INVESTED IN ACCESSIBILITY RETURNS DIVIDENDS TIMES TEN.

THAT'S A FACT.

AND IN OUR PARTICULAR COMMUNITY WE HAVE AN EXTREMELY LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT SUFFER THAT IMPAIRMENT OF ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. IN CANADA ALONE, 1 IN 6 PEOPLE HAS A DISABILITY.

IN ELLIOT LAKE THAT'S MORE THAN DOUBLE.

IF THERE'S 12,000 PEOPLE, THAT MEANS 2,000 PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING AROUND.

RIGHT. SO.

I'M ASKING YOU TO DO YOUR LEVEL BEST, WHICH I KNOW YOU ALL WILL.

AND I'M ASKING YOU TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE NOT ONLY AS A BUSINESS EXERCISE.

BUT WE ARE A SENIORS COMMUNITY, FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.

IT'S WHAT MADE IT SUCCESSFUL.

IT'S WHAT'S KEPT US GOING.

AND WE NEED TO DELIVER THE ABILITY FOR ALL OF US TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE GOODS AND SERVICES THAT ARE SOLD, PROVIDED AND NEEDED IN THIS COMMUNITY.

AND THE TRANSPORTATION IS THE KEY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. THOMAS.

ITEM SIX PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS THIS EVENING FROM DENISON MINES.

[6. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS]

AND THEIR 2023 SITE UPDATE.

I BELIEVE MISS BENSON IS PRESENTING.

OKAY. WELCOME, MISS BENSON.

THANKS. THANKS FOR HAVING US.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO GIVE THE ANNUAL DENISON UPDATE.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS SINCE BEFORE COVID 19 RESTRICTIONS WERE PUT IN PLACE.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF NEW FACES AT DENISON, CLOSED MINES SINCE THE LAST TIME WE'VE PRESENTED IN FRONT OF COUNCIL, ONE OF THEM BEING MARK, WHO IS THE OPERATIONS MANAGER HERE IN ELLIOT LAKE.

JOSH BOWERMAN IS ALSO IN ELLIOT LAKE.

HE'S THE OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT.

DIANE MARTINS, WHO UNFORTUNATELY COULDN'T MAKE IT TODAY, IS THE DIRECTOR OF CLOSED MINES AND MYSELF, I'M THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY MANAGER.

DIANE AND MYSELF ARE BOTH BASED OUT OF THE DENISON SASKATOON OFFICE, BUT MARK AND JOSH ARE BASED IN ELLIOT LAKE.

SO THE PRESENTATION IS MOSTLY JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE ANNUAL OPERATIONS.

[00:10:01]

TALK ABOUT THE DENISON SITES, WHICH I'M TOLD MOST PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH OBVIOUSLY, AND SOME OF THE SITE ACTIVITIES.

AND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OR OTHER TOPICS YOU WANT US TO COVER.

SO DENISON HAD TWO MAIN MINE SITES THAT OPERATED FROM THE 1950S TO THE EARLY 1990S.

ONCE THE MINES CLOSED DOWN, STUDIES WERE DONE TO LOOK AT HOW BEST TO DECOMMISSION THE SITES.

THEY LOOKED AT DIFFERENT WAYS TO DECOMMISSION AND WHAT THE IMPACT OF THOSE DECOMMISSIONING PLANS WOULD HAVE ON THE FUTURE ENVIRONMENT IN THE AREA.

THOSE WERE PUT FORWARD TO THE REGULATORS AND THEY WERE APPROVED IN 1995, AND THEN THE SITES WERE DECOMMISSIONED AND ARE BASICALLY IN THE STATE THAT THEY ARE TODAY.

THEY'VE BEEN CLOSED FOR OVER 20 YEARS, BUT WE HAVE ACTIVE AND ONGOING CARE AND MAINTENANCE.

WE OPERATE UNDER TWO MAIN REGULATORY BODIES, THE FEDERAL ONE BEING THE CANADIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY COMMISSION.

THEY LAST VISITED THE SITE IN OCTOBER OF 2022, AND WE HAVE THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION AND PARKS IS THE PROVINCIAL, THE MAIN PROVINCIAL REGULATOR, AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY COMING TO SITE THIS WEDNESDAY.

SO WE HAVE APPROVALS FROM EACH AGENCY THAT OPERATE THAT OUTLINE OPERATING AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS.

AND CURRENTLY WE ARE WE STILL HAVE AN EXISTING PROVINCIAL APPROVAL, BUT WE'RE RENEWING THE DENISON TMA-1 PROVINCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE APPROVAL RIGHT NOW.

SO THE DENISON SITE HAS TWO WATER COVERED TAILINGS AREAS BEFORE RELEASING ANY OF THAT POND WATER THAT'S COVERING THE TAILINGS.

IT'S TREATED TO REMOVE RADIUM BEFORE BEING RELEASED TO THE DOWNSTREAM ENVIRONMENT.

AND WE HAVE TWO EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANTS AT THAT SITE, THE TMA-1 EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT AND THE LOWER WILLIAMS LAKE TREATMENT PLANT.

AND ALL THE MONITORING SHOWS THAT THE WATER QUALITY DOWNSTREAM MEETS THE REGULATORY LIMITS THAT HAVE BEEN SET OUT BY THE CNSC AND MECP.

THIS IS A MAP OF THE DENNIS OR THE STANROCK SITE.

IT'S A BIT DIFFERENT.

IT HAS ONE TAILINGS FACILITY AND IT'S A DRY COVER.

SO THERE'S NO WATER COVERING IT.

IT'S JUST BEEN REVEGETATED.

SOME OF IT'S NATURAL AS THE PLANTS GROW IN AND SOME OF IT WAS SEEDED.

WE HAVE AN EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT THAT TREATS THE ANY PRECIPITATION AND SNOWMELT THAT COMES OFF THE TAILINGS AND ANY DAM SEEPAGE TO REMOVE RADIUM AND NEUTRALIZE THE PH BEFORE IT'S DISCHARGED.

AND AGAIN, THE WATER QUALITY DOWNSTREAM CONTINUES TO MEET THE LIMITS SET ON OUR LICENSES.

SO IN 2023, THE ACTIVITIES INCLUDED CARE AND MAINTENANCE.

SO THAT INCLUDED TAKING ABOUT 250 WATER SAMPLES IN 2023 TO MONITOR FOR THINGS LIKE RADIUM IN THE WATER AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PH WAS NEUTRAL.

THESE WERE MOSTLY SURFACE WATER AND GROUNDWATER SAMPLES.

AND AGAIN, THEY ALL MET THE REGULATORY LIMITS OUTLINED IN THE LICENSES.

WE HAVE A COMBINED PROGRAM BETWEEN DENISON AND BHP THAT MONITORS THE FARTHER AFIELD ENVIRONMENT DOWNSTREAM OF ALL OF THE MINES, AND THAT'S REPORTED IN THE STATUS OF THE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING ON A FIVE YEAR BASIS AS WELL AS IN THE SERPENT RIVER WATERSHED WATER QUALITY REPORT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

AND OVERALL, THAT INFORMATION IS TELLING US THAT THE ECOSYSTEMS DOWNSTREAM OF THE MINES ARE RECOVERING FROM OPERATING MINES.

SO THE WATER HAS CONCENTRATIONS OF CONTAMINANTS THAT ARE THE SAME AS AREAS THAT WERE NEVER AFFECTED BY MINING OR FROM IF THEY HAVE DATA FROM BEFORE MINING.

SO IT'S PROTECTIVE OF AQUATIC LIFE LIVING IN THOSE BODIES OF WATER.

FOR MAINTENANCE WE HAVE INSPECTIONS OF THE DAMS, THE EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANTS, ROAD MAINTENANCE, BRUSHING, SNOW REMOVAL.

WE HAVE DAM INSTRUMENTATION MEASUREMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DAMS ARE SAFE.

WE HAVE SAFETY INSPECTIONS BY ENGINEERS EVERY YEAR FOR THE DAMS. HERBICIDE APPLICATION AND JUST GENERAL INSPECTIONS BY SITE PERSONNEL.

SO RESEARCH AND COMMUNICATION IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE DO.

WE'RE COLLABORATING WITH UNIVERSITIES AND STUDENTS TO STUDY THINGS MORE SPECIFIC TO EITHER DENISON MINE SITES OR THE URANIUM INDUSTRY IN GENERAL. WE'RE LOOKING AT WE HAVE A STUDENT WORKING ON GROUNDWATER MOVEMENT AROUND THE TMA-1 SITE.

[00:15:04]

AND THAT'S BEING DONE AT SEVERAL UNIVERSITIES ACROSS CANADA.

PART OF OUR LICENSES TALKS ABOUT PUBLIC INFORMATION SHARING.

SO WE HAVE ANNUAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE REPORT THAT'S GIVEN TO THE REGULATORS EVERY YEAR.

THE NEWSLETTER THAT HOPEFULLY EVERYONE GOT AND AN ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT.

THESE ARE ALL LOCATED ON THE DENISON MINES WEB SITE FOR THE PUBLIC TO ACCESS AND LOOK AT.

THERE'S CONTACT INFORMATION IN THERE.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE.

IF YOU START LOOKING INTO THOSE DOCUMENTS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME ACTIVITY AT KILBORN WAY.

THAT'S THE DENISON SHOP.

WE HAVE RENOVATIONS THAT ARE ONGOING.

THAT SHOP IS UTILIZED FOR VEHICLE MACHINERY STORAGE, MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES.

WE DO SOME FABRICATION THERE.

WE STORE ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING EQUIPMENT AND WE HAVE A LABORATORY FOR PROCESSING WATER SAMPLES THERE.

ALL OF THIS WORK BEING OVERSEEN BY AN ENGINEER, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE AN IMPROVEMENT FOR DENISON OPERATIONS. SO DENISON VALUES HEALTH AND SAFETY OF EMPLOYEES AND THE PUBLIC.

AS OF MAY 31ST, THERE WERE 871,879 HOURS WITHOUT A LOST TIME INJURY FOR CLOSED MINES IN ELLIOT LAKE.

AND CURRENTLY WE HAVE 25 EMPLOYEES IN ELLIOT LAKE.

I GUESS JUST A REMINDER, AND THIS WAS IN THE NEWSLETTER AS WELL, THAT ACCESS TO THE FORMER ELLIOT MINE SITES IS RESTRICTED.

THERE ARE LOCKED GATES AND SIGNAGE, EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS VERY NICE TO GO WALKING.

WE JUST LIKE TO REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT IT IS A DECOMMISSIONED MINE SITE AND THERE ARE SOME POTENTIAL HAZARDS THERE.

SO DENISON IS NOT A LARGE COMPANY IN ELLIOT LAKE, BUT WE ARE BROADER THAN JUST ELLIOT LAKE.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE EXPLORATION AND FIELD FEASIBILITY TESTING GOING ON IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN.

THE FLAGSHIP PROJECT IS CALLED WHEELER RIVER AND IT'S GOING TO BE AN IN-SITU RECOVERY PROJECT.

SO UNLIKE THE TRADITIONAL MINING THAT WAS DONE IN ELLIOT LAKE WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF TAILINGS LEFT, IN THE END, THIS ISR OR IN-SITU LEACH RECOVERY HAS FAR LESS PRODUCT BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE.

SO THEY'LL BE IT'LL HAVE A SMALLER ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT.

SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR, THE ISR IS BASICALLY WELLS ARE DRILLED DOWN INTO THE ORE BODY AND THEN A SOLUTION IS INJECTED THROUGH THE WELLS.

THE URANIUM IS DISSOLVED AND THEN BROUGHT BACK UP THROUGH ANOTHER WELL, AND THEN THE URANIUM IS EXTRACTED IN A PROCESSING PLANT AND THEN THAT.

PROCESSING LIQUID CAN BE RECYCLED AND AT THE END OF THE MINING PROCESS, THE GROUNDWATER WILL BE NEUTRALIZED BEFORE DECOMMISSIONING.

SO DENISON'S PROUD THAT THIS METHOD OF MINING HAS BEEN PROVEN IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN AND LOOKING AT MINING IN A MORE SUSTAINABLE WAY.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAD.

WE JUST WANTED TO LEAVE SOME TIME FOR QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING I TALKED ABOUT HERE OR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO HEAR MORE OF FOR THE NEXT TIME WE COME BACK.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MISS BENSON.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILLOR BULL. THANK YOU.

THROUGH YOU, YOUR WORSHIP. IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE WHY TWO OF THEM ARE COVERED IN WATER AND ONE IS JUST DRY.

WOULDN'T THERE BE AN ISSUE WITH DUST OR ANYTHING? I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DRIVE BY THERE AND THEY SORT OF WONDER WHY THERE'S NO WATER ON THAT ONE.

IF YOU COULD ELABORATE ON THAT.

YEAH. SO THE DENISON TAILINGS ARE WATER COVERED.

THEY HAVE LARGE DAMS AROUND THEM.

AND THEN ONCE THE WATER GETS SO HIGH, WE PUMP AND TREAT THAT WATER FOR RELEASE TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

SO BASICALLY THE WATER COVER KEEPS THE TAILINGS FROM EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS AND KEEPS ACID FROM GENERATING FROM THE TAILINGS.

[00:20:06]

YOU HAVE TO CONTROL THE WATER AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THE STANROCK TAILINGS, THEY LOOKED AT DOING A WATER COVER, BUT WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS THAT WE'VE BUILT DAMS. THERE ARE DAMS AROUND THOSE TAILINGS.

THE WATER LEVEL IS ELEVATED CLOSER TO THE SURFACE OF THOSE TAILINGS.

SO ONLY THE TOP LAYER IS BEING WEATHERED.

SO AT THAT EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT, IT DOES GENERATE ACID AND WE DO HAVE TO NEUTRALIZE THE WATER THAT COMES OFF.

BUT WITH THE VEGETATION GROWING ON IT, THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY ISSUE ABOUT DUST OR ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU TOO, MISS BENSON.

JUST ON ONE OF THOSE RESEARCH PROJECTS, THE ONE THAT RADIUM 226 AQUATIC TOXICITY.

WHAT? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO THE CANADIAN WATER QUALITY GUIDELINES ARE A SET OF GUIDELINES THAT HAVE BEEN PUT FORWARD BY THE FEDERAL AGENCIES, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCIES.

IT SETS A GUIDELINE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT THAT SAYS, OKAY, YOU CAN HAVE THIS LEVEL OF RADIUM IN, SAY, A LAKE, AND IT IS PROTECTIVE OF THE AQUATIC ORGANISMS THAT LIVE THERE ALL THE TIME.

SO THE CURRENT GUIDELINE IS ZERO POINT [INAUDIBLE].

IT'S BASED ON VERY FEW STUDIES, SO THIS WORK IS DOING A LOT MORE.

THEY'RE ALL LABORATORY BASED STUDIES.

SO SOME PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT RADIUM TOXICITY TO FISH AND INVERTEBRATES AND DIFFERENT SPECIES OF FISH.

THEN WE CAN TAKE THAT DATA AND SEE WHAT LEVEL OF RADIUM ACTUALLY IS PROTECTIVE OF SPECIES IN THE ENVIRONMENT BASED ON MORE DATA AND MORE RECENT INFORMATION.

BUT IT'S LOOKING AT DEVELOPING A GUIDELINE THAT IS PROTECTIVE OF FISH AND INVERTEBRATES IN LAKES AND RIVERS.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION JUST CONCERNING THE THE NEW METHOD OF MINING.

IS IT ONLY GOOD FOR HIGH GRADE URANIUM OR IS THE COST BENEFITS LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A LOWER GRADE URANIUM AND THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED? I AM NOT A GEOLOGIST, SO I'M NOT 100% SURE, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF IT HAS TO BE.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GEOLOGY OF THE SYSTEM.

SO THE ATHABASCA BASIN IS USUALLY A FRACTURED SANDSTONE, AND SO NORMALLY YOU GET A LOT OF WATER MOVEMENT THROUGH IT.

BUT WITH THE ISR THAT'S BEING DONE AT WHEELER RIVER, THEY'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING A FREEZE CURTAIN.

SO THEY DRILL WELLS AROUND THE ORE BODY, FREEZE THE WATER AND THEN THEY CONTAIN ALL OF THE SOLUTION WITHIN THAT.

BUT I KNOW IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE GEOLOGY, BUT IN OTHER AREAS WHERE I THINK THERE'S LOWER GRADE, I THINK THEY DO IT.

BUT I THINK IT'S SITE SPECIFIC.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU, MISS BENSON.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

[7. INTRODUCTION AND CONSIDERATION OF CORPORATE REPORTS]

AND THIS IS JUST TO MAKE IT, I GUESS, FORMAL FOR THEM TO USE OUR FACILITY AT THE CONSOLE FOR THE SUMMER.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF. THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP JUST A COMMENT.

[00:25:05]

IT'S GOOD FOR THE PARENTS AND IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR THE YOUNG CHILDREN THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A WELL-ORGANIZED SUMMER DAY CAMP BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER.

AND THE STAFF WORKED QUITE HARD AT THIS AND WE HAD SAID IT BEFORE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY IT AGAIN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY. SHALL WE HAVE A VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR AND NONE ARE OPPOSED.

AND THAT'S CARRIED.

ITEM 7.2 MEMO FROM THE MANAGER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REGARDING PHYSICIAN RECRUITMENT EFFORTS AS THIS MATTER DEALS WITH PERSONAL MATTERS ABOUT AN IDENTIFIABLE INDIVIDUAL, INCLUDING MUNICIPAL OR LOCAL BOARD EMPLOYEES.

AS PER SECTION 239 (2)(B) OF THE MUNICIPAL ACT AND MAY BE DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION.

AND THAT COUNCIL PASS THE APPROPRIATE BYLAW TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH EXP SERVICES INC.

EXCUSE ME, TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES AS DESCRIBED IN TRAN 2022-01 FOR PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $57,588 PLUS HST.

MOVER? COUNCILLOR BULL SECONDED COUNCILLOR MORRISSETTE.

MR. GOULDING, PLEASE.

THANK YOU. YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU AS PRESENTED THE THE REPORTS FAIRLY PROCEDURAL.

WE ENGAGED IN A COMPETITIVE PROCESS THROUGH RFP ISSUANCE LAST SUMMER.

THAT PROCESS CAME TO A CLOSE ON AUGUST 30TH AND MR. THOMAS MADE NOTE OF THE DATE.

STAFF'S BEEN CHALLENGED BY I DON'T KNOW IF WOULD CHARACTERIZE THEM AS SHORTAGES OR CHANGE.

IT'S BEEN A TURBULENT TIME FOR STAFF SINCE THAT TIME.

THANKFULLY, EXP WHEN APPROACHED STATED THAT THEY WERE HAPPY TO HOLD THEIR PRICE FROM THAT PROCESS AND IN FACT EXPRESSED THEIR EAGERNESS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROJECT.

THEY FIND US TO BE AN INTERESTING CASE STUDY, I BELIEVE SO.

AGAIN, HAPPY TO HOLD THE PRICE AND WE PUT IT FORWARD TO YOU TO APPROVE AND PASS THE APPROPRIATE BYLAW TO GET GOING ON THIS.

FINANCIAL IMPACTS SECTION.

SONNENBERG AND MYSELF WENT THROUGH HOW THE FUNDING FOR THIS IS LIKELY TO WORK.

THERE'S A SMALL CHART THERE.

THERE'S ICIP FUNDING AVAILABLE TO HELP SUPPORT THIS ENDEAVOR.

AND WITH THE STUDY BEING DONE, IT INFORMS US ON HOW TO PROCEED WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE THROUGH THAT PROGRAM.

SO IT'S AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP TO THIS TO THIS ENDEAVOR.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. GOULDING.

DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILLOR MORRISSETTE.

THROUGH YOU, MR. CHAIR, FOR MR. GOULDING, WHAT'S THE NEW TIMELINE TO GET AN ANSWER BACK FROM THEM? THROUGH YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.

I'LL BE FRANK AND SAY THAT I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THEY WOULD HOLD THEIR PRICE.

I HAVEN'T PUSHED THEM TOO HARD FOR A TIMELINE.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY WOULD KEEP THE SAME RELATIVE TIMELINE PROCESS.

BUT IN TERMS OF SPECIFIC DATES, I'M NOT EXPECTING AN EXTENSION IN OVERALL TIMELINE, BUT I'LL BE IN TOUCH WITH THEM TOMORROW AND CAN BETTER INFORM YOU IN THE FUTURE.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.

THANK YOU. YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU TO MR. GOLDING. SO I REALIZE THIS IS DEFINITELY A BIG NECESSITY AND IT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

YOU KNOW, AS MR. THOMAS HAD MENTIONED EARLIER TONIGHT, WE DO THE EIGHT MONTH REPORT AND EVERYTHING, AND THEY COME BACK AND THEY GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE CHALLENGES.

I WAS GOING THROUGH A BIT OF THIS AND ALL THESE IMPROVEMENTS AND CAPITAL PLANNING AND ALL EVERYTHING.

SO WHEN THEY COME BACK WITH THIS, WHATEVER THEY COME BACK WITH, WHERE DO WE GO FROM THERE?

[00:30:04]

WELL, FROM THERE, WE HAVE BETTER INFORMATION TO MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS IS THE SHORT ANSWER.

SO WE'RE TASKING THIS GROUP TO ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY, TO ASSESS ITS NEEDS, TO USE THEIR EXPERTISE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW WE CAN IMPLEMENT THE TRANSIT SYSTEM IN AN IMPROVED WAY THAT BETTER MATCHES WITH THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.

THAT BALANCES OUR NEEDS FOR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, THAT IDENTIFIES OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL CONSTITUENTS.

AND THERE WILL BE I'M EXPECTING A HOST OF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT COMES OUT IN THAT REPORT FOR US TO CONSIDER COLLECTIVELY AS A COMMUNITY AND FOR COUNCIL TO DECIDE ON HOW THEY'LL MOVE FORWARD.

SO IT'S NOT A PRESCRIPTIVE, IT'S NOT A IT'LL BE A MENU OF OPTIONS THAT COMES OUT AT THE END.

YOU CAN THINK OF IT IN THAT WAY.

AND JUST TO FOLLOW UP, I ALSO NOTICED THAT THEY WILL, WHICH I THINK IS QUITE IMPORTANT, THEY WILL BE HOLDING PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES FOR THE PUBLIC TO GIVE THEIR INPUT TO ALL THIS, TOO. DID I READ THAT RIGHT? THANK YOU. THROUGH YOUR WORSHIP, I CAN'T SAY WITH COMPLETE CERTAINTY WHAT FORMAT THAT PUBLIC INPUT WILL BE RECEIVED IN.

I KNOW THAT THERE'LL BE AN IN-PERSON COMPONENT.

I REMEMBER READING THAT IN THEIR PROPOSAL AS WELL, BUT WE'VE YET TO WORK OUT ALL THOSE DETAILS.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. GOLDING.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'VE NEVER HAD A TRANSIT STUDY DONE IN ELLIOT LAKE.

NOT AS FAR AS I KNOW YOUR WORSHIP, NO.

OKAY. SO IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT'S LONG OVERDUE.

OKAY. IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS, ARE WE READY TO VOTE? ALL IN FAVOR? OKAY. THAT'S CARRIED.

OKAY. ITEM 7.4 REPORT FROM THE MANAGER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REGARDING MISSISSAGI PARK FOUNDATION APPOINTMENT.

I'LL GO TO MR. ANTUNES RIGHT DIRECTLY.

OKAY, GO AHEAD.

THANK YOUR WORSHIP MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE MISSISSAGI PARK FOUNDATION IS A BOARD THAT MANAGES THE MISSISSAGI PARK.

WITH THE DEPARTURE OF MR. GAGNON, THERE'S BEEN A SEAT LEFT OPEN ON THE BOARD POST MR. GAGNON DEPARTURE. MS. BRAY, MS. SONNENBURG, MYSELF HAVE BEEN WORKING IN A SUPPORT CAPACITY.

OF COURSE COUNCILLOR SEIDEL IS A BOARD MEMBER IN STANDING RIGHT NOW IT LEAVES US WITHOUT EQUAL VOTING ON THE BOARD.

SO RIGHT NOW COUNCILLOR SEIDEL IS THE ONLY VOTING MEMBER.

BUT AGAIN, MS. BRAY, MS. SONNENBURG, AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING ALONG WITH THE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD TO MOVE FORWARD THE INTERESTS OF THE PARK AND GET IT RUNNING.

COUNCIL MIGHT HAVE SEEN SOME SIGNAGE ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THE PARK AS WELL, AND WE'VE JUST BEEN WORKING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE UP AND RUNNING AND PARK SEEMS TO BE DOING VERY WELL.

SO THIS IS JUST A RESOLUTION TO BE PUT TO COUNCIL TO APPOINT A MEMBER OF STAFF TO SIT ON THE MISSISSAGI FOUNDATION PARK BOARD.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE.

COUNCILLOR MANN. THANK YOUR WORSHIP THROUGH YOU TO MR. ANTUNES. THE REPORT INDICATES THAT THREE MEMBERS OF STAFF HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE COMMISSION.

IS THERE A VOLUNTEER BEYOND THE RECOMMENDATION OF THESE THREE INDIVIDUALS PER SE, THAT WANT TO SIT ON THIS COMMITTEE OR WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR US TO SELECT SOMEONE FROM STAFF.

THROUGH YOU YOUR WORSHIP.

YES. COUNCILLOR MANN THAT'S EXACTLY IT.

RIGHT NOW, THERE'S THERE'S NO ONE THAT THESE STAFF MEMBERS HAVE BEEN STEPPING UP.

I HAD SOME EXPOSURE TO THE FOUNDATION IN THE SETUP PROCESS IN MY SPECIAL PROJECTS MANAGER CAPACITY AND WORKING WITH MR. GAGNON AND OF COURSE, MR. SONNENBERG AND MS. BRAY AND THEIR CO-CAO CAPACITIES HAVE BEEN THERE ON A DECISION MAKING CAPACITY.

SO THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE FOUNDATION AS IT STANDS NOW.

I VERY HONESTLY DIDN'T TAKE A PULL THROUGH CITY HALL TO SEE WHO WANTED TO STEP UP AND SIT ON THE BOARD.

BUT AGAIN, WE LEAVE IT TO THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE EXPERIENCE OF COUNCIL TO PUT SOMEONE FORWARD.

FOLLOW UP? YES, SIR.

WAS JUST LOOKING FOR SOME INSIGHT IF SOMEONE WAS JUMPING UP AND SAYING, PICK ME, PICK ME, BUT I'M NOT GETTING THAT SENSE, SO.

THROUGH YOU YOUR WORSHIP NO, SIR. NO ONE'S DONE THAT AS OF YET.

OKAY. THANK YOU. COUNCILLOR SEIDEL.

THANK YOU, WORSHIP.

I WOULD LIKE TO PUT A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPOINT MR. ANTUNES TO THE MISSISSAGI PARK FOUNDATION.

[00:35:04]

AND I SO MOVE.

I'LL SECOND THAT. SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR MANN.

UM, MR. ANTUNES, WOULD YOU BE? I'M THROUGH YOU YOUR WORSHIP.

I'M HERE TO SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL.

AND IF THAT'S WHAT'S REQUESTED, I CERTAINLY WILL DO MY BEST TO NOT DISAPPOINT.

THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR. THANK YOU, MR. ANTUNES. LET'S HAVE A VOTE THEN.

ALL IN FAVOR? NONE ARE OPPOSED. THAT'S CARRIED.

OKAY. THERE ARE NO PRESENTATION OF COMMITTEE REPORTS.

THERE IS NO OUTSIDE BOARD OR COMMITTEE REPORTING.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

[10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS]

DO WE HAVE ANY UPDATES? ARE YOU? THANK YOU, YOUR WORSHIP.

NOT AT THIS TIME.

WE'RE COMING VERY CLOSE TO THE ANTICIPATED END OF THE PROJECT.

I ANTICIPATE COMING TO COUNCIL VERY SHORTLY FOR SOME FEEDBACK ON POTENTIAL WAYS FORWARD.

SO I'M EXPECTING PROBABLY THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING WE'LL HAVE A REPORT AND SOME DECISIONS TO BE MADE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. UM, THERE ARE NO PETITIONS.

THERE ARE NO CORRESPONDENCE, NO NOTICES OF MOTION.

ITEM 14 COUNCIL REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.

IT CAN BE DONE WEEKLY OR MULTIPLE WEEKS, AND THERE'S LOTS OF AVAILABILITY.

ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS? COUNCILLOR FLINTOFF.

JUST I JUST WANTED TO SAY I NOTICED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON 108 THAT THE FOUNTAINS' FIXED AND IT LOOKS GREAT AND I KNOW IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN ELLIOT ELLIOT LAKE SO IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT IT'S UP AND RUNNING FOR HOPEFULLY THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

THAT'S IT. AND THEN ONE LAST ANNOUNCEMENT, A LOT OF HARD WORK, A LOT OF EFFORT WAS PUT INTO OUR LOCAL STREET DANCE, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE FAIRLY RESOUNDING SUCCESS.

I KNOW ALL MEMBERS OF COUNCIL WERE PRESENT VOLUNTEER CAPACITY AS WELL AS ATTENDING.

A NUMBER OF OUR VOLUNTEERS WORKED REALLY HARD BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE BAR, TAKING TICKETS, CHECKING COATS AND THEN THE SET UP AND TAKE DOWN AND OUR LOCAL GROUPS THAT CAME OUT TO SUPPORT. WE EVEN HAD GROUPS FROM BLIND RIVER SETTING UP FOOD.
