March 15, 2017 Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario Legislative Building — Room 281 Queen' s Park Toronto, Ontario M7A 1A1 Dear Premier Wynne: Re: Support for Policy to Install AEDs in all Schools At its last regular meeting held on March 8, 2017, the Council the Municipality of Middlesex Centre enacted the following resolution:

WHEREAS Automated External Defibrillators are used to treat sudden cardiac arrest and have been proven to be life-saving during the waiting time period for emergency services; AND WHEREAS for every minute a person in cardiac arrest goes without being successfully treated by defibrillation, the chance of survival decreases by 7 percent in the first, and decreases by 10 percent per minute as time advances past 3 minutes; AND WHEREAS Andrew Stoddart, a 15 year old boy, passed away while playing soccer in Kintore, Ontario, an AED on site may have increased his odds of survival. Andrew’s Legacy foundation has currently purchased 22 AEDs for across Oxford County, including all three elementary schools in Zorra Township; AND WHEREAS Thames Valley District School Board has yet to put together a policy for having AED’s in place in all, or any, of their public elementary and secondary schools; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Municipality of Middlesex Centre requests that the Premier, and Minister of Education, develop a policy that enables all school boards in Ontario, including the Thames Valley District School Board, that allows individual elementary and secondary schools to have an AED installed in their schools; and FURTHER THAT the Municipality of Middlesex Centre request that the Thames Valley District School Board develop a policy to install AEDs in all schools in the Thames Valley District School Board as soon as possible for the safety of our children; and

Premier Wynne Suite 101 - 795 Eglinton Avenue East Toronto, Ontario M4G 4E4 Dear Ms. Wynne: Please find below a copy of a recent resolution passed by our Council:

Resolution No. 55-03-2017 Moved by: W. Koehler

Seconded by: P. Skippen

Whereas the Premier has announced that Ontario Hydro will be waiving delivery fees for customers who

reside on First Nation reserves and settlements in Ontario;

And whereas the many families in the Town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands are having

trouble meeting their financial commitments because of the exorbitant delivery fees charged by Ontario

Hydro;

Now therefore be it resolved that the Council for the Town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands

requests that the Province of Ontario treat all of Ontario Hydro’s customers equally and eliminate the

delivery fees for residents of the Town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands.

Be it further resolved that, in the interest of transparency, Ontario Hydro explain to the municipalities

which cost costing measures or alternative revenue sources will be put in place to replace the revenue

losses it experiences from the elimination of the delivery charge to its customers.

And further that a copy of this resolution be sent to Premier Wynne, Minister Thibeault, and the other

municipalities in the Province of Ontario.

Carried

Yours truly,

Pam Cress

Clerk
