Press Release - 2008 Draft Operating Business Plan and Budget tabled at York Regional Council
Regional Council inviting public input on Budget and allocation of GTA Pooling savings
NEWMARKET –The Regional Municipality of York’s draft $1.3 billion Operating Business Plan and Budget for 2008 was tabled at York Regional Council and includes numerous growth and service enhancements, including for York Regional Police, Transit, Water/Wastewater and Solid Waste management. “Our draft 2008 Operating Business Plan and Budget, combined with our 2008 Capital Budget, ensures York Region residents and businesses will continue to receive high quality services for their tax dollars,” said York Region Chairman and CEO Bill Fisch. “We will examine the Operating Budget over the next two months for additional savings, including the allocation of savings from GTA Pooling dollars. And we invite input from the public as we move forward in this process.” “The draft Operating Budget provides the basis of a fiscally responsible plan that takes into account the Region’s budgetary pressures and the growing demand for Regional services,” added Town of Newmarket Mayor Tony Van Bynen, Chair of the Region’s Finance and Administration Committee. “I commend Regional staff for their hard work and commitment on the Budget.” The draft 2008 budget proposes a six per cent tax levy increase representing a $109 increase for taxpayers owning a home with an average assessed value of $371,000. The proposed tax levy increase is a result of additional costs to pay for existing services. York Region’s budgetary pressures include the following: $20.8 million for Base Budget:· Salaries and Benefits· Contracted Services $1.4 million for Mandatory/Legislated Costs:· Social/Non Profit Housing· Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC)· Staffing of Court Services $9.2 million for Growth-Related Costs:· Additional York Regional Police officers and support· Transit (Viva/YRT) service expansion· Additional Public Health staffing· Additional Paramedics for York Region Emergency Medical Services (EMS)· Additional Transit fare enforcement officers· Growth of Solid Waste Management services $7 million for Annualizations (full-year program costs from 2007):· York Regional Police staffing· Source Separated Organics (Green Bin) program $19.4 million for Program Enhancements:· Additional York Regional Police officers and support· Contributions to capital and capital asset replacement· Increased Community Development Investment funding· Construction of a Community Environmental Centre in the City of Vaughan· Additional Emergency 9-1-1 call takers

Press Release - Markham’s Reesor Road Bridge Opening January 29
MARKHAM, ON January 23, 2008
A new two-lane Reesor Road bridge over the Little Rouge Creek in Markham (replacing the former one-lane bridge) provides significant improvement to the flow of north-south traffic in the eastern part of York Region.Official Opening: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 – 9 a.m. At the Bridge Between 16th Avenue and Major Mackenzie Drive East (northeast of Don Cousens Parkway)BACKGROUND: Construction of the new bridge, replacing the 1925 one-lane bridge, provided an opportunity to improve traffic safety by straightening Reesor Road. When the old bridge was demolished, no debris or materials were allowed to contaminate the Little Rouge Creek.

Press Release - Up to 13 million cases of food poisoning in Canada each year
York Region raising awareness during National Environmental Public Health Week
NEWMARKET – York Region public health inspectors are involved in a variety of education and enforcement initiatives that strive to protect the health and safety of local residents.York Region public health inspectors are responsible for routinely inspecting all York Region food premises on a regular basis to ensure compliance with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Health Promotion and Protection Act (HPPA). This legislation applies to all public restaurants, cafeterias and other premises that prepare or sell food.Public health inspectors also assist in monitoring and identifying factors that impact water quality to ensure that drinking water is safe. Strict provincial regulations and standards are in place to ensure drinking water is safe for consumption.York Region public health inspectors offer the community the following tips to prevent food andwater-borne illnesses caused in the home:
• Wash your hands thoroughly with liquid soap and warm water prior to preparing, handling, serving and eating food
• Keep hazardous food products (meat, dairy, etc.) below 4°C/40°F and above 60°C/140°F to prevent the growth of harmful micro-organisms and bacteria
• Use a clean probe thermometer to ensure that food has reached the proper internal temperature to kill harmful bacteria
• Avoid cross-contamination of products; keep and store raw meats, poultry and seafood separate from ready-to-eat food
• Serve food immediately after preparation; Discard any food that has been left at room temperature for more than two hours
• Test private well water three times a year; in the spring, summer and fall; if you have had recent work done to the well; or if you notice a change in the colour or odour of the water
• There is no cost to have private well water tested
• Read labels for expiry and best before dates; Do not eat food that has passed its expiry date
• Always use clean dishes and utensils when preparing, handling, serving and eating food
• Never buy dented or bloated canned goods
Each year, the third week in January is designated as National Environmental Public Health Week. York Region joins communities across Canada in recognizing and celebrating the services provided by public health inspectors during this week.
The 2008 National Environmental Public Health Week theme is “The Changing Face of Environmental Health Inspection – Past Present and Future.” This theme reflects the rapidly changing and expanding profession of public health inspection.The responsibilities of public health inspectors have evolved over the years and will continue to expand as the field of public health changes. From collaborating with government agencies to investigate uninspected and ungraded food products, to promotion of clean air initiatives, the ability of public health inspectors to adapt and accept new challenges in the field of public health is invaluable for York Region and our residents.During National Environmental Public Health Week, additional public service announcements will be circulated to the media highlighting more of the important work York Region public health inspectors do to help keep residents healthy and safe.

Press Release - Manicures and pedicures can be risky luxuries
York Region advises consumer awareness during National Environmental Public Health WeekNEWMARKET – York Region public health inspectors are involved in a variety of education and enforcement initiatives that strive to protect the health and safety of local residents. York Region public health inspectors are responsible for routinely inspecting businesses to ensure compliance with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Personal Service Settings Protocol.

Once the skin is broken or cut, there is a risk of exposure to the above mentioned infections, as well as contagious nail or fungal infections.York Region Community and Health Services encourages residents to keep the following in mind when receiving a manicure or pedicure. Choose a salon that:• Is well-lit and maintained in a clean and sanitary manner• Maintains a sanitary environment where work surfaces, equipment and instruments are clean and in good working order• Ensures mandatory proper hand washing of workers before each new customer• Properly cleans and stores all reusable tools (clippers, cuticle cutters, metal cuticle pushers, manicure scissors, pedicure files etc.) after each client use• Discards single use items (nail files, toe separators, pumice stones, buffing block and birchwood/orange sticks) after each client use• Properly cleans and disinfects footbaths after each client use• Launders all towels, reusable slippers and linens after each client use• Dispenses lotions and creams that do not contaminate the remaining lotion or cream (single pump)• Encourages its personal service workers to be immunized against hepatitis B and to get their annual flu shot• Does not offer nail services to any client who has a nail mould or fungus, including those with discoloured nails, indicative of a potential infection• Residents should consult with their physician before visiting a salon for any nail service or treatmentEach year, the third week in January is designated as National Environmental Public Health Week.

The Regional Municipality of York achieves highest Standard & Poor’s Credit Rating – AAA Stable
York Regional Council’s fiscal management resonates positively with credit rating agency
NEWMARKET – The Regional Municipality of York will continue to benefit from favourable borrowing rates after achieving a Standard and Poor’s AAA Stable credit rating.
Standard and Poor’s cited York Region’s strong economic outlook, operating revenue growth, high reserve levels and commitment to asset rehabilitation and replacement in its decision and accompanying analysis.
“I am extremely pleased that we have achieved Standard and Poor’s highest credit rating,” said York Region Chairman and CEO Bill Fisch. “I commend our Council and Regional staff for their hard work and commitment to ensuring that all York Region taxpayers benefit from sound financial decision-making.”
“The AAA Stable rating is an indicator of the credit rating agency’s confidence in York Region’s fiscal management policies,” added Town of Newmarket Mayor Tony Van Bynen, Chair of the Region’s Finance and Administration Committee. “This rating allows York Region to borrow and finance debt at the best rates available.”
York Region uses debt financing as one of several finance tools to help pay for costs associated with major projects contained in the $10.1 billion, 10-Year Capital Plan, including:
• major roads and sewer construction• construction of the TTC Spadina subway extension• continued enhancements to Viva Rapid Transit and YRT
To reduce the reliance on debt financing, York Region introduced several measures, including the phased elimination of Development Charge discounting beginning spring 2007.
York Region has maintained a AAA credit rating with Standard and Poor’s since 2002.
The Region also possesses a AAA credit rating from Moody’s Investors Service, maintained since 2000.
Both Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s have taken into consideration York Region's rapid population growth, expanding assessment base and diversified economy as part of their rating.

Press Release - FOUR LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT PARTNER TO DEVELOP AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING PROJECT IN THE CITY OF VAUGHAN
NEWMARKET — The Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario will partner with The Regional Municipality of York and the City of Vaughan to develop a new affordable housing apartment building in the City of Vaughan. Located on the Vaughan Civic Centre campus at Major Mackenzie Drive and Keele Street in the City of Vaughan, the building will provide 84 apartments for low and moderate income residents of York Region.
The Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program has committed almost $6 million to the project's estimated cost of $19 million. York Region is responsible for the construction of the project and will operate the building through Housing York Inc., York Region's non-profit housing corporation. The City of Vaughan contributed two acres of land under a 99-year lease at no cost to the project.
"By creating new affordable housing our government is supporting lower-income individuals while they work to get ahead," said the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance and Regional Minister for the GTA, on behalf of the Honourable Monte Solberg, Minister of Human Resources and Social Development. "The creation of these apartments will allow lower-income residents, seniors and persons with physical disabilities in Vaughan to live in safe, quality housing at an affordable cost."
"The McGuinty government believes every person in our province has the right to safe, healthy and affordable shelter," said the Honourable Jim Watson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. "This project in the City of Vaughan is an excellent example of the positive impact that governments can have when they work together to create new affordable housing."
The building will offer a mix of rent-geared-to-income and market rent units primarily to seniors. The four-storey building will include 65 one-bedroom units, 14 two-bedroom units and five units designed with enhanced accessibility features to accommodate people with physical disabilities.
"This affordable rental housing development provides an excellent opportunity for the City of Vaughan and York Region to address some of the goals identified in our Housing Supply Strategy," said York Region Chairman and CEO Bill Fisch. "We are developing partnerships, we are using government-owned land and we are integrating affordable housing into our communities."
"This new apartment building is an example of the City of Vaughan's commitment to being a green city," said City of Vaughan Mayor Linda Jackson. "By creating energy-efficient high density housing, we are able to preserve our green spaces, make better use of our infrastructure and further our goal of being a sustainable community."
The design and construction of this new building will achieve a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver rating. The updated energy efficiency features to be incorporated throughout the building will support the Region's Sustainability Strategy and benefit both the environment and residents.
"This building will feature environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient enhancements that will improve the comfort of our residents," said Town of Richmond Hill Regional Councillor Brenda Hogg, Chair of the Community Services and Housing Committee and Housing York Inc. "The 84 affordable rental units will alleviate some of the pressure for housing in York Region, but we need to do more."
Construction will start in the fall of 2008 and people will move into the building in early 2010.
The Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program Agreement consists of a commitment of $301 million from each of the two senior levels of government. In total, the federal, provincial and municipal governments will invest at least $734 million in the program, which will provide affordable housing for some 20,000 households in Ontario.For more information visit: www.cmhc.cawww.mah.gov.on.cawww.york.cawww.city.vaughan.on.ca
