Strategic Plan & Other Program DeliverablesIn support of the economic future and vision for the City of Barrie, Invest Barrie is committed to achieving the following strategic goals:
� Ensure that the economy creates and supports more high quality careers, leading to continued increases in quality of life.
� Focus on enhancing the diversity and range of employment opportunities for the community, so that all residents are able to pursue local employment.
� Enable an economy that can withstand changes in economic conditions and global competition. � Ensure that the economy’s ability to create high quality careers matches the pace of growth in the
community. � Be a premiere destination for business investment.
The Invest Barrie Strategy is built upon 4 Pillars that will foster the economic vitality and growth of the City of Barrie: Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Downtown Creative Hub and True Growth. Within each Pillar includes operational activities and actions that relate to the core activities of Invest Barrie that include investment attraction, investment services, business retention and expansion, cultural services and small business support.
Phase 1 of the Invest Barrie Strategy Deployment contains initiatives that support each of Pillars with the intent of creating both short-term returns to community and developing the foundation of a long-term vision for Barrie's economic future. The Invest Barrie Strategy Deployment is aligned with, and directly supports Council's 2014-2018 Strategic Goal of building a Vibrant Business Community through:- Build a global startup community- Eliminate obstacles to business growth and investment - Attract and retain a talented workforce - Promote Barrie’s strengths Major Initiatives/IssuesThere are several initiatives planned for 2016 as part of the implementation of the Invest Barrie Strategy. Initiatives/Pilot Projects have been identified in support of the Invest Barrie Strategy at both the Transformational and Operational Layers. While many of the initiatives within the Transformational layer are lead by the Invest Barrie staff, the Business Development team is integrated in the delivery of the initiatives.
Transformational Layer:Pillar 1 - Entrepreneurship (Also supports Pillar 3 - Downtown Creative Hub):Initiatives:1. Locally deliver Venture Lab BUILD Programming for Start-ups. VentureLAB develops and delivers support programs and services that target technology based entrepreneurs starting and growing global enterprises. The objectives of the project:- Provide high quality educational and mentoring opportunities to help innovators grow and scale their businesses - Retain the start-ups and talent in Barrie both for local employment growth and to cultivate a start-up culture and cluster within the City- Raise the visibility and profile of Barrie as a leader in innovation and entrepreneurship 2. Start-up/Entrepreneurship Events In order to grow and foster the development of a start-up cluster in Barrie, Invest Barrie needs to increase the level of engagement with entrepreneurs. This can be done through events where the City can provide a value added experience to participants.
9595
Objectives of delivering events:- Connect the Community– The business community will have an opportunity to make valuable network connections to help their businesses grow.- Celebrate Local Successes – strengthen the startup ecosystem through communicating our story internally and externally.- Create a culture that supports entrepreneurship 3. Foodpreneur Pilot Program - Deliver a Pilot Program that will:- Explore and assess the viability and opportunities around creating a food entrepreneurship cluster. - Identify the needs of foodpreneurs and the gaps that exist in supporting their success in the community.- Test the viability of a kitchen incubation model.4. Entrepreneurship Centre Business Case: This project is to produce a study that will support a business case for creating a common space for entrepreneurial support and services in the future. The future Sandbox-Entrepreneur Collision Centre is a physical space, co-located with other business service providers where entrepreneurs can go to work on their business ideas, collide with other entrepreneurs, seek out mentor advice, receive assistance and guidance to accessing resources. The first phase of this project in 2016 will involve the development of the business case and assessing feasibility of this type of model in the City of Barrie. A key component of the feasibility study will include the exploration of funding models that include business community involvement, sponsorship and alternate revenue generation to support the creation of this type of entrepreneurship centre.
Pillar 2: Innovation Manufacturing is a critically important sector of Barrie’s economy from an employment, export and cluster development perspective. The manufacturing sector creates spins-off employment in other sectors in addition to creating high-paying, skilled employment from engineering and project management through the skilled trades. In order to stay competitive while adopting new technologies to reduce costs and stay competitive manufacturers will need to increase their capacity to innovate. Utilizing Open Innovation, Invest Barrie has the opportunity to marry the strategic priority of developing a start-up eco-system with the business retention opportunities within the manufacturing sector. As this will be the first iteration of the model, the intent will be to implement it with 2-3 local manufacturers as a pilot project in order to ensure there is adequate resourcing to support the project, and to refine the adaptation of the model and associated processes. Once the model is refined, the intent will be to scale it to provide opportunity to companies within this industry sector to participate.
Pillar 4: Mobilization & Collaboration (Also supports Pillar 3 - Downtown Creative Hub) Business Engagement - Implement a model in support of business growth, retention and expansion within the City of Barrie, the engagement of business owners in identifying the needs, opportunities and solutions within their industry sector and community at large is a critical component to creating and delivering meaningful programs and services that derive economic dividends back to the community. Harnessing the expertise, talent and resources of local business owners and leaders will increase the overall capacity of Business Development to achieve meaningful outcomes and results that will enhance economic prosperity. Implementing an action-based framework will accelerate collaboration within and between organizations through common goals and projects. The process creates a collaborative ecosystem that identifies opportunities, provides solutions and makes partners out of the business community.
Talent Recruitment: our relationships with Barrie businesses continue to highlight talent attraction as a need for their business. The inability to attract the talent they need hinders their ability to grow, expand and develop new areas of expertise. The talent attraction project will provide a service that is unique. Talent activities can be not only tactical with the talent toolkit but also strategic as a service offered for businesses considering to move to Barrie by introducing them to talent that would be attracted to Barrie and would likely be "stickier" to the area helping businesses with employee retention. There is a need to create solutions that address the question of access to talent in both existing and emerging clusters. Deliverables:- Increase the number of events such as the Train in Trades.- Gain an enhanced understanding of what skills leave the City daily through commuting, and attempt to engage with the commuters in an ongoing way.- Deploy innovative methods for enhancing certain types of skills (for example, by facilitating MOOC-based training for interested members of the community)- Develop partnerships with additional post-secondary institutions and attempt to facilitate more internships with Barrie-based businesses.

Operational Initiatives:
Investment Attraction:In alignment with the Invest Barrie Strategy, which will identify the areas of value where Barrie will perform best and will determine modes of competition for attraction and growth of business investment, a key initiative for Business Development in 2016 will be the identification of target industries, lines of business, or specific business functional areas that Barrie should focus on because it's general value proposition andproposed strategic focus most closely aligns with the business drivers/needs/challenges within those targets. Completion of an environmental scan and supply chain analysis will provide focus on very specific types of business or operations where the City's general value proposition will most clearly resonate and add value. In consultation with Access Barrie and Innovate Barrie, discussing options for promoting Barrie generally to the Greater Toronto Area communities. This is not specific to Economic Development, but rather aims to address certain misconceptions or lack of information about Barrie. This could take the form of a social media campaign, traditional media campaign, events in the GTA, and many more. Since such an initiative was not budgeted or planned for 2015, the implementation may or may not occur in 2015. However, the process of validation using data that was collected through previous research at Union Station and planning can be performed in 2015, so that budget can be requested for 2016.Deliverables:- Increase the size of the Investment Pipeline with more qualified prospects through targeted lead generation and promotion.- Complete supply chain analysis for the manufacturing sector, to identify gaps for attraction and BR+E opportunities through business collaboration.- Complete a study of existing sector clusters to be utilized as part of the City's value proposition and content marketing to position the City as a premiere destination for business investment.- Hosting Provincial Trade Commissioners in Barrie, and highlighting bot the value proposition of the City, as well as the world-class companies that choose to be in Barrie (by facilitating tours of Barrie-based businesses).- Leveraging business-lead initiatives such as the Barrie Business Ambassadors by providing them with the tools and value-proposition messaging to support, communicate and share amongst their influencer networks.- Targeted outcalls to businesses, associations, and influencer organizations (such as venture capitalists, startup accelerators, site selector firms, etc.) that align with the analysis that will identify target industries, lines of business, or specific business functional areas that Barrie should focus on.- Create development opportunities for the City through the implementation of the strategic disposition plan for City Owned parking lots in the City Centre.
Investment ServicesInitiate ongoing efforts to improve servicing methods for working with businesses, investors, and startups. This will be achieved by developing an investment services model that will involve the entire Corporation in fostering the Open for Business culture. Specifically, a concierge service model will seek to qualify potential investors via pre-determined criteria to determine their stage within the investment lifecycle and benefit to the City in terms of employment, tax revenue, generating growth in target sectors, etc. Based upon level of qualification, the appropriate level of service would be applied.Developing a defined process for qualification for servicing will allow Business Development and other required City departments to prioritize their time and resources on the greatest returns to the City and create a differentiation within the marketplace that will allow the City to stand-out amongst other competing Cities. Focusing and delivering on service will be key to the effectiveness of this program. Deliverables - Develop a Concierge Service and Investment Service Program for Business Investment Inquiries (Attraction and Retention)- Revitalize Investment Readiness Team- Develop and strengthen relationships with the ICI community, both local and GTA to gather local land development data, business intelligence and identify investment opportunities- Use Content Marketing to Showcase Program Success and Position and Differentiate Barrie in the Marketplace.
Business Retention & ExpansionIncrease the level of engagement with the broader business community. This activity will occur as a result of the implementation of projects/initiatives identified through Pillar 4, Mobilization and Engagement, in addition
9797
to the other Transformational and Operational initiatives as part of Phase One of the Invest Barrie strategy implementation. Businesses will be engaged with Business Development and Invest Barrie through a variety of initiatives that will be deployed that will strengthen and broaden the department's relationship with established businesses. For example, a highly engaged business community across the city and across industries will:
� Strengthen ties with the business community, resulting in a deeper understanding of issues that are facing the various industries, barriers to growth, points of leverage, and more.
� Support the development of a more robust entrepreneurial ecosystem with a balance of both feeders and leaders. An engaged business community is considered to be a powerful feeder into a startup ecosystem and is one of the key differentiators in successful entrepreneurial hubs, where larger and established firms work as mentors, advisors, partners, and customers of smaller startups.
� Pave the way for more business-led initiatives and groups that can be supported by the City, and which have a variety of purposes (as well as benefits for the City). Such groups have the ability to access vast network resources, innovative thinking, energies, etc…and can be a key strategic advantage for the City.
Small Business SupportThe City of Barrie continues its partnership with the Province of Ontario to deliver service, education and consultation resources to small businesses through the Small Business Centre of Barrie, Simcoe County and Orillia. Primarily funded by the Province of Ontario, the Small Business Centre is an integral component of the entrepreneurial eco-system and works to align, partner and compliment programs and initiatives aimed at the start-up community through Invest Barrie.Deliverables:- A partner in promotion and delivery of initiatives identified in Pillar 1 of the Transformational Layer- Small Business Centre will continue to drive youth program initiatives through the Province, the regional Pilot Project with the County.- Increase focus on small business growth (up to 5-years in operation) through development of broad mentor program and access to advisors and education opportunities that are specialized in key growth-related areas.

Departmental Overview
Culture
A member of the Invest Barrie team, the Department of Culture (DOC) supports excellence and growth in local cultural and creative sector initiatives, as well as in culture-based businesses and entrepreneurship. This is done in an effort to promote a higher quality of life in a City (that includes a variety of cultural amenities for residents and visitors), and positively affect the GDP of Barrie and its City Centre. The DOC helps to create an environment in which creative and culture sector participants can thrive in order to enhance the experiences of residents and visitors, attract talent and generate revenue and economic opportunities. The DOC manages cultural infrastructure, promotes plans and co-ordinates cultural initiatives with artists, arts organizations, cultural entrepreneurs, private sector participants, other departments within the City of Barrie and other levels of government as necessary. The DOC, working as part of the Invest Barrie portfolio, executes the City of Barrie's Plan for Culture, and participates in (or leads) key Invest Barrie strategic initiatives. Our department's mission is to establish cultural policy, build capacity for the arts and other cultural activities, encourage culture as an economic driver, and engage community members across a wide spectrum.
The Department of Culture has four functional areas of focus.
Development Programming MarketingYoung and Emerging Artists
In fulfilling Development objectives, the department provides support through training, funding and information to Barrie culture sector workers, in an effort to support and sustain cultural development and capacity building. As part of providing access to information about development activities, the DOC maintains a database of current statistical and financial information on the culture sector and produces a Culture Report Card.
To fulfill Programming objectives, DOC staff oversee and co-ordinate activities in the City of Barrie’s cultural spaces, and are involved in both community events and the City of Barrie’s own annual events. Staff also participate in the planning and implementation of City infrastructure projects and manage two of the City's physical infrastructure assets dedicated to arts and culture.
Culture's Marketing objectives are laid out in "Creating Cultural Connections", Barrie's Plan for Culture. The DOC plays a leadership role in the implementation of Barrie's marketing plan for its cultural/creative assets. The department works with a variety of partners ranging from other City departments to Tourism Barrie, arts organizations, artists, the Business Development Department and the Downtown BIA to market Barrie’s culture sector and its opportunities.
In achieving the objective of supporting Young and Emerging Artists, the DOC works with other departments and organizations and takes a leadership role in the creation of opportunities for creative entrepreneurs and young and emerging artists, so as to ensure their continued growth and contribution to the culture sector and to the growth of Barrie's economy. Key Departmental ObjectivesTo provide benefit to the community by harnessing cultural resources and creative potential to achieve both social and economic benefits.
103103
To support and enhance the City's existing vibrancy, livability and attractiveness to residents, newcomers and investment.
To leverage culture as an economic driver. This includes developing arts/culture/creative-based businesses in Barrie, creating an environment that is attractive to top talent, creating a vibrant City Centre that fosters "synergistic collisions" and is conducive to the formation of an innovation/startup cluster, supporting business expansion and more.
To support and enhance Barrie's sense of place and positively impact perceptions of the City.
To provide opportunities for the business community and other stakeholders to participate in, contribute to and derive benefit from Barrie's growing creative sector (including creative technology) and broader startup ecosystem (that typically develops in conjunction with a thriving creative sector).
To increase the number of people that participate in arts education and culture and creative sector training in order to build capacity within the culture sector.
To provide economic and information resources to the artists, producers, presenters, entrepreneurs and programmers of Barrie's cultural initiatives, through information sharing opportunities and arts grants, for the purpose of supporting the growth of the culture sector in Barrie.
Ensure the availability of public and private physical infrastructure for use as cultural/creative spaces.
Strategic Plan & Other Program DeliverablesEncourage culture and the creative sector as an economic driver for the City of Barrie.
Nurture Culture as an opportunity to advance Council's strategic goals of vitalization of the City Centre, community involvement and the creation of a Downtown Creative Hub that will be the intersection of culture, business and technology.
Using measurement and analysis tools, track community-based and economic-based benefits of cultural investments, including enhanced accountability for culture grants, in alignment with council's strategic goal of Strengthening Barrie's financial condition.
Support the creation of a startup culture, thereby forwarding council's priority of establishing Barrie as a center of excellence for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Support the attraction and retention of talent and businesses, thereby forwarding council's priority of establishing Barrie as a preferred community for "live, work and play".
Major Initiatives/IssuesIssues:
There exist a lack of understanding amongst some residents for the value of Culture.
There is a need for a marketing culture amongst culture/creative participants, entrepreneurs, start-ups and innovation clusters.
Resources are limited and many competing priorities exist.
Initiatives:
In support of a formal program aimed at increasing revenue from sponsorship of City programs and assets, the DOC will take a leadership role in overseeing the deployment of the sponsorship strategy, methodology and culture throughout the corporation.
Continue working with the Central Ontario Music Council, the Department will help to position Barrie and Central Ontario as a live music capital.
104104
We will investigate opportunities to grow the quantity of films shot annually in our community and develop a process for stewarding and servicing the film makers and film companies. We will also investigate the feasibility and benefit of developing a film office in Barrie.
Artrepreneur is an initiative in partnership with other members of the Invest Barrie Portfolio and York Region. This is an example of our efforts to lead the development of a startup culture that includes Culture Sector participants and will build-on what already exists in Barrie. We will leverage best practices to create an environment where people are excited about the idea of entrepreneurship, eager to attend startup-related events, are enthusiastic about participating in the development of the ecosystem, and most importantly are collaborating to get new ideas off the ground.
Create a robust method of measuring, analyzing and tracking benefits of culture, both intermediate and final benefits, as well as implement an accountability framework for culture-based grants and other investments.
Policy Development to support strategic direction, including implementing the marketing plan for culture sector products and an arts policy.
In support of creating a startup culture and startup ecosystem, create opportunities for "beneficial collisions" between talent, investors, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders.
Investigate options for a single resource for Culture based information in Barrie (not just City-based culture programs and events, but rather a single resource that captures all culture activities happening in the City at a given time).
Implement "Created in Barrie, Understanding Barrie's Arts and Culture Market", the marketing plan for culture and continue to celebrate excellence.

Departmental Overview
Recreation
Recreation Services builds vibrant, healthy, active and connected communities by providing facilities and programs that give all Barrie residents an opportunity to participate in recreational activities. Key responsibilities include identifying community recreation needs and interests, developing and delivering recreation opportunities which meet these needs and interests, maintaining and operating recreational facilities to provide a setting for these activities, and managing the provision of space to external community recreation providers and groups.
Recreation Programs
The Recreation Programs branch is responsible for assessing community recreation needs and interests, and for providing an engaging portfolio of recreation opportunities which will meet these needs and interests. The Branch is organized into three Neighbourhood Teams, which are based out of one of Barrie’s three major community recreation facilities and focus on developing and delivering programs and events which will best serve the unique needs of the surrounding community.
The branch provides diverse and accessible recreation activities for all abilities and skill levels, with a focus on promoting healthy and safe lifestyles, developing physical skills, encouraging social interaction, and fostering community engagement. This includes registered programs that are provided directly by Departmental staff, or in partnership with community groups, drop-in activities such as public swimming, skating, and gymnasium sports, community-based events and celebrations, and full-day summer camp programs.
Recreation Facilities
Recreation Facilities Branch is responsible for ensuring that the City of Barrie’s Recreation facilities and sport fields provide a high-quality setting for recreational opportunities and activities. This portfolio includes:
� Allandale Recreation Centre � Barrie Community Sports Complex � Barrie Molson Centre � Barrie Sports Dome (through an operational partner) � Barrie Sports Complex � Circle at the Centre � Dorian Parker Centre � East Bayfield Community Centre � Eastview Arena � Holly Community Centre � Lampman Lane Community Centre � Parkview Seniors Centre � Southshore Community Centre � 99 sport fields, including 43 baseball diamonds and 56 soccer Pitches
The Branch ensures that all recreation facilities and sport fields are operated and maintained in a safe and cost-efficient manner, in full compliance with all relevant codes, regulations and legislation. These activities involve the development, ongoing implementation, monitoring, and review of the following plans
150150
and programs:
� Preventative, predictive, planned and responsive maintenance programs. � Departmental service level standards, and related quality assurance programs � Facility lifecycle plans, identifying future maintenance and renewal requirements � Environmental, sustainability, and energy management plans.
The Recreation Facilities branch is also responsible for the rental of facility spaces and sport fields to external community groups, including administration of related allocation processes to manage the competing needs of these groups.
Administration & Business Services
The Administration & Business Services branch is responsible for the financial processes, strategic planning efforts, and technological initiatives which support both the day-to-day operation and long-term planning processes of the Recreation Services Department. The goal of the branch is to collect, analyze and interpret the information and data required for sound decision-making and planning.
The branch is also responsible for the implementation of pricing and program-alignment strategies, and for maintaining the electronic registration system required to accurately track all participation and revenues. The branch leads efforts to extract and analyze data from internal registration systems and external databases in order to identify trends and opportunities, and to better anticipate community needs and interests.
The branch leads the development of the Department’s annual business plan and operating budget, and coordinates departmental workplans to ensure departmental resources are effectively directly towards achieving corporate, divisional, and departmental priorities. The branch also leads and coordinates the department’s long-term planning efforts, ensuring Recreation Services is responsibly planning for the future through strategic plans, master plans, growth studies, service reviews, business analysis preparation, and related reports to City Council.
Key Departmental ObjectivesRecreation Services builds vibrant, healthy, active and connected communities by providing all Barrie residents an opportunity to participate in recreational activities. Recreation services strives to be the recreation experience provider of choice in the City of Barrie, and to achieve this objective the department has identified the following key objectives:
Maximizing Community EngagementIncrease and maximize community engagement by:
� Assessing community needs and developing programs, activities and special events which meet these needs and reflect the latest in recreation trends.

� Operating high-quality facilities and sports fields to act as venues for the community recreation partner leagues, competitions, practices, meetings, competitions, and other events.
Increasing Social and Health Benefits of RecreationImprove the quality of life for all Barrie residents through:
� Providing opportunities for all Barrie residents to access recreation by identifying and seeking to eliminate barriers to participation including financial limitations, physical and mental abilities, and other social and cultural barriers.
� Developing programs and community partnerships which will maximize the health benefits of recreation and increase the awareness of recreation opportunities and the associated benefits, amongst community members.

151151
utilization of recreation facilities and programs � Identifying and implementing innovative new ways to deliver services in programs in ways which will
reduce cost and increase revenue � Pursuing energy conservation initiatives for electricity, natural gas, and water.
Strategic Plan & Other Program Deliverables� Recreation Services supports City Council’s priority of an inclusive community through its
neighbourhood strategies to offer services that are valuable to residents in each community. The department has a wide selection of fitness, aquatics, community and general interest programs, as well as programs directly geared towards seniors and youth. Recreation also works with several partners and community groups to enhance and expand additional recreation opportunities. We also provide inclusion services and offer a RecACCESS subsidy program to ensure all residents of Barrie have the opportunity to participate and maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
� Recreation Services supports Council’s strategic priority of responsible spending through its constant efforts to identify and implement efficiencies and improvements which will reduce the cost of providing recreation to the City of Barrie. The Department will continue to focus on standardization and simplicity to build brand awareness of our product offerings to ultimately increase utilization and revenues for the City. Lastly, Recreation will undergo a market analysis to better understand its position in the marketplace and develop a strategic plan to ensure the products and services we provide are valuable to our community and residents.
Major Initiatives/Issues� Continuous improvement of our upgraded recreation registration system to expand capability of
providing services online to our community and leveraging the system to enhance processes and controls and perform data analysis to guide operational decisions
� Supporting the corporate wide implementation of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system including piloting Activity Based Costing and a significant focus on payroll, procurement, and budgeting.
� Developing strategies which will identify the program, facility, and service priorities for each of the Recreation Services three neighbourhood teams. These strategies will identify both short and long term priorities for each neighbourhood area, which will guide the effective planning and efficient delivery of service improvements in the coming years.
� Collaborate with the Corporate Facilities and Energy Management branches to continue implementation of the Facility Information Management System (Archibus/FM) and Energy Management initiatives which will help Recreation Services to more efficiently manage the operation of recreation facilities.
� Working with community groups to identify and implement ways to better support community recreation partners including strategies to increase participation, identification of potential service delivery partnerships, and a review of the ice allocation policy and associated fees.

Departmental Overview
Environmental Services
The Environmental Services Department is comprised of three Branches, including the Environmental Operations Branch, the Wastewater Operations Branch and the Water Operations Branch.
Key responsibilities include the operation and maintenance of the City’s environmental infrastructure and systems including water supply, treatment and distribution systems; wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities; solid waste collection, diversion and disposal, and environmental investigation and response.
All three Branches strived in 2015 to implement the recommendations of the respective Service Area Reviews undertaken for each of the Branches in 2011 with a focus on improving efficiencies/economies and enhancing service delivery.
Departmental administration accounts for 1% of the Department's financial resources and 2% of the Department's staff resources.
Environmental Operations Branch (EOB)
The Environmental Operations Branch requires approximately 18% of the Department's financial resources and 17% of the Department's staff resources to perform the following services: landfill operations, non-hazardous solid waste disposal, household hazardous waste receiving and disposal; leaf and yard waste disposal and composting; solid waste collection and disposal; municipal waste diversion/recycling programs including delivery of recycling containers and retailing back yard composters; environmental investigation, emergency response, monitoring and compliance; environmental education programs & promotion all in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act (EPA).
The Landfill Re-Engineering Project continues to proceed on time and on budget with an anticipated completion in 2016. The Branch is working towards implementing various elements of the Sustainable Waste Management Plan which has received approval in principle and emphasized increased diversion opportunities.
Wastewater Operations Branch (WWOB)
The Wastewater Operations Branch requires approximately 40% of the Department's financial resources and 27% of the Department's staff resources to perform the following services: collection and treatment of wastewater; operation and maintenance of the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WwTF); 14 Remote Wastewater Pumping Stations; the Oro Biosolids Storage Facility plus 3 additional pumping stations at the Barrie Sports Complex; and the operation and maintenance of the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (LSRA) sewage system. All works are performed in accordance with the EPA, Ontario Water Resources Act (OWRA), Lake Simcoe Protection Act (LSPA), Nutrient Management Act (NMA), etc.
Barrie has a recent Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) from the Ministry which applies to considerably more restrictive effluent criteria, in particular, impacting the allowed discharge concentration of phosphorus by June 2015. Considerable process improvements are required in order to competently achieve the new limits on an on-going basis. Related improvements / additions include potential construction of new works with an expected cost ranging from $40 million to $100 million. In the interim, an Optimization Section has been tasked with ensuring ongoing effluent compliance.
