IL [0000114L1:k]k]11191 15.5 CUPE: Formal Complaint concerning Code of Conduct Bylaw Number L.G.-5 The Mayor stated that Council has an obligation to correct the false information in the submission, the presentation made to Council and ongoing statements made by CUPE relating to the City's financial position. The Acting City Manager, Commissioner of Finance and Treasurer was asked to provide comments on the financial misrepresentations made by CUPE. The Commissioner of Finance stated he reviewed the CUPE letter in the Council kit and the wording in the letter; CUPE refers to the City's "so called financial deficit" and calls into question the legitimacy of the City's financial challenges. CUPE suggests the City can look no further than the consolidated financial statements to solve its financial challenges. The Commissioner stated that he first addressed these comments at the January 13th meeting of Common Council and again in Finance Committee. The Commissioner reiterated that in his opinion the CUPE submission and presentation misrepresents the results of the City's consolidated financial statements. The Commissioner stated the following: • The City has the highest tax rate in the Province of New Brunswick • The Long Term Financial Plan recognizes that the City needs to work to be more competitive • The City has the largest net debt in the Province • The Consolidated Financial Statements has $330 million of net debt. This means that the City has $330 million more financial liabilities than it has financial assets. • The City has over $400 million infrastructure deficit — assets / infrastructure beyond its useful life • The approx. $20 million surplus continuously highlighted by CUPE refers to a non- cash accounting entry, an actuarial adjustment in Saint John Energy's book of accounts. It refers to post -employment benefits, an actuarial charge in the value of the post -employment benefits. It is non-cash. It is not related to SJ Energy income. It is consolidated into the City's books. • The City ended 2018 with $119,000 deficit and is in a structural deficit over $4.7 million. The small deficit of $119,000 was only accomplished by reliance upon short- term provincial assistance in the amount of $4.7 million. CUPE's comments that the City needs to leverage other entities under its control is being addressed in the City Manager's restructuring plan. The City is exploring all 13 W COMMON COUNCIL/ CONSEIL COMMUNAL February 24, 2020 / le 24 fevrier 2020 options - the City has released Expressions of Interest for TD Station and Canada Games Aquatic Centre; reviewing SJ Energy's growth model and dividends; Saint John Transit operations are under review for synergies and efficiencies; the City is streamlining its economic development agencies and reviewing the number of its Agencies, Boards and Commissions. The City has been consistent and transparent with the fiscal realities and continues to enforce our fiscal policies. We cannot continue to spend beyond our means and we must continue to advance value to the Saint John taxpayer. Moved by Deputy Mayor McAlary, seconded by Councillor Armstrong: RESOLVED that the CUPE: Formal Complaint per Bylaw Number L.G.-5 be received for information. MOTION CARRIED with Councillor Sullivan voting nay stating that a process is needed to address Code of Conduct complaints and the City should have a policy for public presentations that make grossly misleading statements. 16.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Craig Lavigne Kevin Fudge John Collin RECOMMENDATION RESOLVED that occasion having arisen in the public interest for the following Public Civic Works and needed Civic Improvements that the City of Saint John proposes issue of the following debentures to be dated on or after February 271" 2020: REFINANCE DEBENTURES Debenture No. BC 7 - 2010 $ 5,000,000 (General Fund — 5 years) Debenture No. BC 8 - 2010 $ 2,500,000 (Water & Sewerage —10 years) TOTAL S7,500,000 THEREFORE RESOLVED that debentures be issued under provisions of the Acts of Assembly 52, Victoria, Chapter 27, Section 29 and amendments thereto, to the amount of $ 7,500,000. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Notice of motion was giving at the January 27, 2020 meeting of Common Council regarding the need to refinance debentures totaling seven million and five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000). The next step in the debenture financing is to submit application to the New Brunswick Municipal Finance Corporation. In order to proceed with the debenture financing this recommendation requires Council's adoption. M-11 -2 - PREVIOUS RESOLUTION M&C — 2020-24 — 2020 Spring Debenture Issue — Notice of Motion REPORT The New Brunswick Municipal Finance Corporation is planning a bond issue in the near future and applications are to be submitted by end of March, 2020. While the issue will not be sold until the Corporation feels that rates are reasonable, they have provided ranges within which the issue could be sold. These are as follows: Interest Rate: Not to exceed an average of 4.50% Price, Net: Not to be less than $98.00 per $100.00 of debenture Term: Serial form to mature in equal annual amounts over a term not to exceed 5 years for the General Fund and 10 years for the Water & Sewerage Utility for refinanced debentures. The amount to be borrowed is a result of the City's requirement to refinance debentures issued in 2010. Market conditions in 2010 resulted in a fixed period of ten years on the debentures even though the City borrows for 15 years for General Capital and 20 years for Water and Sewerage. There is interest rate risk for the City when debentures require refinancing. The City has received debentures since 2012 that are for the full term and will not require refinancing, therefor eliminating interest rate risk. The City has also benefited from historically low interest rates when refinancing debentures. The average yield on the spring 2010 debentures was 4.269%, where the average yield on debentures in fall of 2019 was 2.497%. Market conditions are still favorable and the City will see a reduction in interest costs for these refinanced debentures.

Safe Clean Drinking Water Project — Amendment to RDC Financial Contribution Agreement OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Melanie C. Tompkins J. Brent McGovern John Collin RECOMMENDATION That the City agree to the Amending Letter of Agreement in the form as attached to this M&C No. 2020-75, relating to the Financial Contribution Agreement between the Regional Development Corporation and The City of Saint John dated November 5t", 2014, and that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the said Amending Letter of Agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to seek authority for the City to amend section 3.4 of the Financial Contribution Agreement between the City and Regional Development Corporation (RDC) to align the requirements of the Financial Contribution Agreement with those of the Safe Clean Drinking Water Project (SCDWP) Agreement and to enable RDC to make its final funding payment to the City before Final Completion is declared on the project, and before the end of the current Province of New Brunswick (PNB) fiscal year. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION October 27, 2014 — Common Council resolved to enter into a Financial Contribution Agreement with the Regional Development Corporation for the SCDWP. -2 - REPORT On October 27, 2014, the City entered into a Financial Contribution Agreement with the Regional Development Corporation (RDC) according to which RDC commits to contributing 25% of the total eligible costs of the project, to a stated maximum. RDC's contribution, under this agreement, is to be made in 6 "milestone payments", the last two being at Substantial Completion and at Final Completion, each of which have a corresponding date associated with it, at which payment is to be made. The Financial Contribution Agreement was struck in 2014 before the SCDWP was procured. The dates for the 6 milestone payments reflected in the Financial Contribution Agreement were based on the projected dates in the project's business case. When the Project Agreement was signed on Feb. 4, 2016, Substantial Completion and Final Completion were defined in a way that does not align with the projected dates for those events as stipulated in the Financial Contribution Agreement. The SCDWP team and RDC had discussions about this in January of 2017, and exchanged a letter which recognized this fact and which also recognized the Substantial Completion Target Date as stipulated in the Project Agreement. Since then, RDC has made use of a provision in the Financial Contribution Agreement that allows it to issue payments earlier than the stipulated dates, and effectively advanced the majority of its funding to the City over the construction period of the project. To date, of the total funding available to the City under the Financial Contribution Agreement, there remains $579,673 to be paid to the City. Under the current agreement, this amount would normally be payable at Final Completion (which the Financial Contribution Agreement contemplated to be Dec. 31, 2018). Substantial Completion was reached on the SCDWP in June of 2019. Final Completion is achieved under the Project Agreement when the Independent Certifier certifies that all deficiencies have been rectified on the project (s. 6.20 of the Project Agreement). This has not yet occurred. In the Fall of 2019, RDC advised that it wished for its last funding payment to be made on or before the end of the government's current fiscal year, i.e. before March 31, 2020. The SCDWP team was not able to determine with any degree of certainty whether Final Completion would be achieved by March 31, 2020 (as Final Completion is within the control of Project Co.) In an effort to stay true to the parties' intention, the SCDWP team worked with RDC to ensure that the City would receive the full amount of the funding contemplated in the Financial Contribution Agreement while at the same time ensuring that RDC received the information necessary to satisfy itself that the construction of the Project was complete, that the Project was functioning as HI -3 - intended, and that it was therefore appropriate for RDC to make its final contribution payment to the City (on or before March 31, 2020). By letter dated Dec. 20, 2019, at the request of the SCDWP team, the Independent Certifier wrote to RDC to confirm that the Project is substantially complete, that all construction work is completed, and that the Project is functioning as intended. What is preventing PCWP from achieving Final Completion are minor deficiencies related to documentation (such as Record Drawings and other supporting project documentation). By letter dated February 11, 2020, the City wrote to RDC to provide an update regarding the status of Final Completion on the Project. Based on those two letters, RDC has agreed to make its final contribution payment to the City on or before March 31, 2020. In order to do this, RDC wishes to amend the Financial Contribution Agreement to reflect the above noted arrangement and to align with the Project Agreement. The attached Amending Letter of Agreement does this. It is appropriate and recommended for Council to agree to it. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT The SCDWP is a high priority of Council as it brings safe, clean drinking water to the citizens of Saint John and has reduced the occurrence of Boil Water Orders that were due in part to Saint John's aging water system, the lack of full water treatment and the lack of sufficient treated water storage. This Amendment to the Financial Contribution Agreement aligns with Council's priority of being fiscally responsible. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The signing of the Amending Letter of Agreement will ensure that the City receives $579,673, the remainder of the full funding contemplated under the Financial Contribution Agreement, on or before March 31, 2020 (the end of the PNB fiscal year) and before Final Completion is declared on the SCDWP. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS The Amending Letter of Agreement was prepared by RDC and reviewed by Melanie C. Tompkins, Legal Counsel for Saint John Water, J. Brent McGovern, the Commissioner of Saint John Water, and by Cathy Graham, Comptroller and Financial Manager for the SCDWP. ATTACHMENTS Amending Letter of Agreement :1 February 25, 2020 Melanie C. Tompkins, Solicitor Legal Counsel Saint John Water 175 Rothesay Avenue Saint John, New Brunswick E2J 2B4 SUBJECT: THE CITY OF SAINT JOHN SAFE CLEAN DRINKING WATER PROGRAM — AMENDMENT TO FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT ("FCA") Dear Ms. Tompkins: As you are aware, year 2018 Milestone Payments for Substantial Completion and Final Completion under the above -noted Agreement were not made as scheduled due, in part, to the fact that the FCA was finalized before the Project Agreement was put in place in February 2016, and the dates contemplated in the FCA did not align with the provisions of the Project Agreement. As a result, and in an effort to reflect the Project Agreement and the intention of the City and the Regional Development Corporation (RDC), the City and RDC agree to amend s. 3.4 as follows: delete at Milestone 5 "November 30, 2018"; and 2. delete at Milestone 6 "Final Completion —December 31, 2018", and replace it with "Final RDC Payment — prior to March 31, 2020, following the issuance of the Independent Certifier Confirmation of Project Status letter of December 20, 2019 (See Attached) and the issuance of the Status of Final Completion letter of February 11, 2020 (See Attached) pursuant to the Project Agreement between the City and Port City Water Partners. " Note that the final RDC payment of up to $579,673 shall be in accordance with s. 3.11 of the FCA.

By letter dated December 24th, 2019, Altus Group, the Independent Certifier on the SCDWP, confirmed to RDC that the project is complete and functioning as intended except for minor deficiencies which relate to documentation. Final Completion is achieved under the Project Agreement between The City of Saint John and Port City Water Partner (Project Co) once the Independent Certifier certifies that all deficiencies have been rectified (see s. 6.20 of the Project Agreement), As discussed, the outstanding issue preventing Project Co from achieving Final Completion relates to deficiencies pertaining to Project Co's failure to submit Record Drawings, Red Books and other supporting project documentation which must be completed and submitted to the city under the Project Agreement. The City has received and accepted 75% of all Record Drawings on the project to date, Project Co continues to work on the remaining 25%, and the City and Project Co are meeting regularly to identify and resolve the remaining issues with the outstanding Record Drawings. Such issues include things like failure to show existing infrastructure around the project infrastructure, elevations, etc. on the Record Drawings. As for the Red Books, those are currently in the custody of Gulf Operators, a sub -contractor to the Design -Build Joint Venture on the SCDWP. Gulf Operators has filed a lien claim in the amount of over $19 million, and has also P.O. Box 1971 CA 1971 Saint John, NB Saint John, N. B. Canada ESL 4L1 Canada EA 40 www,saintlohn.ca Page 2 started an action against Project Co and the City regarding same. Parallel to this action, Gulf Operators and Project Co are currently dealing with their dispute through the dispute resolution process under their design/build agreement. Both the action and the dispute resolution process are likely to take some time. We do not expect the dispute relating to the lien claim to be resolved in the near future. Gulf Operators has refused to release the Red Books, which Project Co must submit to achieve Final Completion, until their dispute with Project Co is resolved. Note that Project Co has paid security into Court in the amount of $20 million which has vacated the lien from the City lands. The City continues to hold the Mechanics Lien Holdback under the Project Agreement in the amount of $11.1 million, which it will not release until the lien claim is discharged, the action is dismissed against the city or a Court Order is in place which relieves the City of its holdback obligations under the Mechanics Lien Act. The City is also holding money for deficiencies on the entirety of the project in the amount of approximately $4.5 million. That money will not be released either until Final Completion is achieved and the lien claim is discharged (or a court order is in place relieving the city of its holdback obligation under the Mechanics Lien Act - because the lien claim is larger than the money the city is currently holding for Mechanics Lien purposes and deficiencies). I trust this is sufficient for your purposes. Kindly advise if you require anything further. Yours truly, Melanie . Tompkins - Legal Counsel, Saint John Water Copy Kevin Kearns, RDC Director Corporate Services and Programs Brent McGovern, Commissioner Saint John Water February 20, 2020 His Worship Mayor Don Darling and Members of Common Council Your Worship and Councillors: SUBJECT: Subdivision (Money -in -Lieu of Land for Public Purposes) 99-101 Edgewater Lane The Committee considered the attached report at its February 19, 2020 meeting. The City of Saint john. Rick Turner, representing the applicant Hughes Surveys and Consultants, appeared before the Committee and was in agreement with the recommendation contained in the staff report. He was accompanied by the owners of the property. No one else appeared before the Committee to speak in favour or against the application and no letters were received regarding the application. Mr. Turner responded to a question from the Committee related to the location of septic tanks on the site, noting they are located in the rear yard of the dwellings. After considering the report and the comments made by the applicant, the Committee recommended that Council accept money -in -lieu of Land for Public Purposes. That Common Council authorize the acceptance of money -in -lieu of the required Land for Public Purposes for the proposed subdivision at 99-101 Edgewater Lane (PID 00290833). Respectfully submitted, Alex Weaver Crawford Chair Attachments Page 1 of 1 50 The City of Saint John Date: To: From: Meeting: SUBJECT Applicant: Landowner: Location: .w February 14, 2020 Planning Advisory Committee Growth & Community Planning Growth & Community Development Services February 19, 2020 Hughes Surveys and Consultants Inc. on behalf of Donna Silliker Donna Silliker, Ian Silliker, Flora Silliker Estate & Howard Silliker Estate 99-101 Edgewater Lane 00290833 Plan Designation: Rural Settlement, Park and Natural Area Existing Zoning: Rural Settlement Residential (RS) Application Type: Subdivision Jurisdiction: The Community Planning Act authorizes the Planning Advisory Committee to advise Common Council concerning the vesting of land for public purposes in conjunction with the subdivision of land. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The landowner is proposing to subdivide the site, which contains two existing dwellings, into two separate lots, one for each building. The proposal requires the assent of Common Council for money in lieu of Land for Public Purposes, which is recommended by Staff. Page 1 of 3 51 Hughes Surveys and Consultants Inc. 99-101 Edgewater Lane February 14, 2020 RECOMMENDATION That Common Council authorize the acceptance of money -in -lieu of the required Land for Public Purposes for the proposed subdivision at 99-101 Edgewater Lane (PID 00290833). DECISION HISTORY Our files indicate that there have been no previous decisions relating to the subject property. ANALYSIS Proposal The landowner proposes to subdivide an existing lot containing two dwelling units to allow each unit to be on a separate lot. The proposal requires the assent of Land for Public Purposes or money -in -lieu of Lands for Public Purposes. Site and Neighbourhood The property is located in the Belmont area of West Saint John. The 1770 square metre property contains two single -unit dwellings. Each dwelling is served by a separate well, septic system, driveway and overhead utility connection. The site, and adjacent lands in the area are zoned Rural Settlement Residential (RS) and contain single unit dwellings. This area became part of the City during the 1967 amalgamation and was originally developed as an area for cottages and seasonal residences, many of which became permanent year-round dwellings. Municipal Development Plan The site and surrounding area is largely designated Rural Settlement in the Municipal Plan with the area adjacent to the Saint John River designated as Park and Natural Area. Rural Settlement areas are existing rural areas where future development, consistent with the character and form of the existing community, is supported. Policy LU -102 of the Municipal Plan provides for the creation of new lots with minimum lot areas of less than four hectares to support development that is consistent with the established community context. The proposal to subdivide the property into lots for the two existing dwellings conforms to the intent of the Municipal Plan. Zoning and Variances The proposed lots generally meet the requirement of the Rural Settlement Residential (RS) zone, but will require variances to permit reduced lot area, lot frontage and lot depth. The Development Officer will process these variances. Staff note the proposed lot sizes are within the context of the surrounding neighbourhood and that the dwellings are served by separate wells and septic systems. Page 2 of 3 52 Hughes Surveys and Consultants Inc. 99-101 Edgewater Lane February 14, 2020 Subdivision The proposed subdivision satisfies the standards of the Subdivision By-law. The Community Planning Act states that the creation of a new lot must include a dedication of Land for Public Purposes, or money -in -lieu of land, which requires the Committee and Council to consider accepting. Given the direction of the City's Subdivision By-law, staff recommends that Council receive money -in -lieu of Land for Public Purposes. This approach is supported by the City's Parks and Public Spaces service area. Conclusion The proposed subdivision meets the intent of the Municipal Plan. Consistent with the direction established in the Subdivision By-law, Staff recommends that Council accept money -in -lieu of Land for Public Purposes. ALTERNATIVES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS There are no alternate considerations for this application.

The Committee considered the attached report at its February 19, 2020 meeting. Amy Pellerin, representing the applicant, Natural Forces, appeared before the Committee and spoke in favour of the staff report. Ms. Pellerin gave a short presentation that offered a profile of the company (Natural Forces) and a brief overview of the project. She stated that the development of the proposed 10 turbines at the subject site requires an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be conducted prior to receiving a permit to operate. Ms. Pellerin stated that the EIA was registered with the Province on February 18`", 2020, and additional bird and bat studies would be conducted by the end of February. Ms. Pellerin stated that a second open house would be held in March to review the information found in the EIA. The Committee asked Ms. Pellerin if Natural Forces was ISO registered. Ms. Pellerin indicted the company is not because it does not manufacture the wind turbines, but the manufacturer of the turbines would be. The Committee also asked why the proposed layout was limited to 10 turbines. Ms. Pellerin stated that it is the largest amount of turbines that could be accommodated by the subject site, when taking into considering setbacks from property lines and distances needed between turbines. The Committee also asked for clarification on the buildout phasing of the project. The applicant explained that originally the team had thought that there would be Page 1 of 3 80 Natural Forces 399 Burchill Road February 20, 2020 several phases to the project, but have since decided that the entire project would be built in one phase that would be completed by the end of 2021. Brian Irving, representing Develop Saint John, appeared before the Committee and spoke in favour of the project. Mr. Irving stated that the proposed development of up to 10 wind turbines is a great development for the City; it represents a positive development for the Lorneville community as it is a non- offensive land use in an industrial area; and that Natural Forces is a good company that will be able to see the project through to fruition. One letter was received in support of the application, and no one else appeared before the Committee to speak in favour or against the application. After considering the report, the letter submitted, and the comments made by the applicant and Mr. Irving, the Committee recommended that Council adopt staff recommendation (see below). RECOMMENDATION: That Common Council rezone a parcel of land having an area of approximately 995.1 hectares, located at 399 Burchill Road, also identified as being a portion of PID Number 00412189, from Heavy Industrial (IH), Pit and Quarry (PQ), Rural (RU), and Medium Industrial (IM) to Green Energy (GE); 2.

Page 1 of 10 83 Meg Morris (Natural Forces) 399 Burchill Road February 14, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Natural Forces is seeking to rezone the subject site to facilitate the establishment of windfarm of up to ten wind turbines. If approved, the energy produced by the turbines will feed into the electrical grid for the City, which is managed by Saint John Energy. In 2019, Common Council approved an amendment to the City's Municipal Plan to Policy NE -38 that provides direction to Council to "explore and encourage the development and use of alternative energy sources", which includes the harnessing of wind energy. The placement of the proposed wind turbines is in a remote area of the City adjacent to the Spruce Lake Industrial Park. The proposal requires the site to be rezoned to Green Energy (GE) in order for the use to be established. In addition to this, staff recommend that Council rezone an area along Burchill Road where access to the site would be shared with the existing quarry operation to Special Zone #5 (SZ -5). "Special Zone 5" would effectively permit the operators of both the quarry and the windfarm to share equal use of the private access road. Staff recommend approval for the rezoning and Section 59 amendment, as the proposed land use is in keeping with the direction offered by the Municipal Plan. RECOMMENDATION 1. That Common Council amend the City of Saint John Zoning By-law by: a) Adding the following to the list of Other zones in Section 2.2: "Special Zone SZ -5" b) Adding the following as Section 14.10: "14.10 Special Zone No. 5 (SZ -5) i. 14.10(1) Permitted Uses Any land, building, or structure may be used for the purpose of, and no other purpose than, the following uses: - An access road for a pit and/or quarry; - All uses permitted in Section 14.11 ii. 14.10(2) Zone Standards Standards for development in Special Zone No.5 shall be as set -out in subsection 12.4(4) and Parts 4 to 9 where this zone shall be considered a Pit and Quarry (PQ) zone or a Green Energy (GE) zone, as the case may be." 2. That Common Council rezone a parcel of land having an area of approximately 995.1 hectares, located at 399 Burchill Road, also identified as being a portion of PID Number 00412189, from Heavy Industrial (IH), Pit and Quarry (PQ), Rural (RU), and Medium Industrial (IM) to Green Energy (GE); Page 2 of 10 84 Meg Morris (Natural Forces) 399 Burchill Road February 14, 2020 3. That Common Council rezone a parcel of land having an area of approximately 2.5 hectares, located at 399 Burchill Road, also identified as being a portion of PID Number 00412189, from Pit and Quarry (PQ) and Rural (RU) to Special Zone 5 (SZ -5); and, 4. That Common Council rescind the Section 39 (now Section 59) conditions imposed on the 2011 rezoning of a parcel of land having an area of approximately 4143 square metres, located at 399 Burchill Road, also identified as a portion PID 00412189, to Pit and Quarry (PQ). DECISION HISTORY The site of the proposed rezoning encompasses a large area of land stretching from the area south-west of Paddys Hill Drive in the eastern part of the lot, to the Burchill Road access point in the western part. Several proposals for a variety of land uses have been contemplated over the past 40 years. In some cases, new lots were created to support the proposed uses. In other cases, Council rezoned a portion of the existing PID to support the use, or the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) granted the necessary approvals within the existing zone. The following is a summary of the PAC and Council decisions related to land uses that have taken place on the subject PID, or in the area contiguous to the current proposal, since 1979. 1035 Burchill Road In 2003 and 2004, the Committee granted approval for a portion of the subject property to operate a pit and quarry as a conditional use in the 1-2 "Heavy Industrial' zone. The Committee and Council later approved a subdivision of the land to create the lot with the same area and rezoned it to Pit and Quarry (PQ) in 2008 (see Map 4: Previous Planning Decisions). The area subject to the rezoning included a condition imposed through Section 39 (now 59) of the Community Planning Act that limited the excavation of the site to an amount that did not reduce the elevation of "any disturbed area" to less than 50 metres above sea level. The area rezoned included Burchill Road, which is a private road used as an access to the quarry site. The road formed a part of the rezoning as the Community Planning Act requires a private access to be located in a zone that permits the intended use of the lot. In 2011, Debly Construction pursued a proposal to subdivide and rezone a 28.5 -hectare area of the subject site (Hatched Area — Map 4) to expand their aggregate extraction operations in an area adjacent to the active quarry. The Committee and Council approved the creation of the lot and the proposed rezoning; however, the Province did not move forward with the subdivision and the lot was therefore never created. The rezoning included several Section 59 conditions that regulated the use of the site. Page 3 of 10 85 Meg Morris (Natural Forces) 399 Burchill Road February 14, 2020 A small portion of the area subject to the 2011 PQ zoning stretches over Burchill Road, immediately adjacent to the norther boundary of the active quarry area (see Map 5: Zoning of Burchill Road). As discussed below, part of the current recommendation includes rezoning this segment of the Pit and Quarry (PQ) zone to Green Energy (GE). Any portion of Burchill Road beyond the entrance to the quarry site should not be used for any of the operations related to the activities of the quarry. The area north of 1035 on Burchill Road will be needed for the development and maintenance of the proposed wind turbines and therefore forms part of the current rezoning proposal to Green Energy (GE). Paddys Hill Drive Area Paddys Hill Drive has been a long-standing access road leading to the now closed Spruce Lake Landfill. The road has evolved to include a few industrial uses over the past 10 years, including the Simpson Truck and Tractor Parts yard at 120 Paddys Hill, GFL Environmental at 121 Paddys Hill, and an asphalt plant and excavation site at 90 Paddys Hill. 1065 King William Road Staff approved the subdivision of a portion of PID 00412189 to create this lot in 2017. Saint John Industrial Parks, the applicant at the time, pursued the subdivision as a means to seek opportunities to promote investment in the area. The lot is located in the Medium Industrial (IM) and Rural (RU) zones, but remains vacant as of the time of the writing of this report. 1200 King William Road The Committee approved the subdivision of a portion of PID 00412189 to facilitate the creation of this lot in 2010. The approvals granted included the operation of an asphalt plant, which was a conditional use in the 1-2 (Heavy Industrial) zone at the time. The Committee later approved the establishment of a proposed vehicle and scrap metal salvage yard in 2012. 3700 King William Road In 2019, Council approved the rezoning of this site to Pit and Quarry (PQ) in order to allow for the operation of a pit and quarry on the subject property. The rezoning of the site included two conditions subject to Section 59 of the Community Planning Act that are designed to mitigate any water runoff from the site and maintain a treed buffer along King William Road. ANALYSIS Proposal Natural Forces, the applicant, is seeking to establish a windfarm on a large vacant lot located in the Spruce Lake area of the City's west side (see Map 1: Site Location). The Burchill Wind Project (the "Project"), if approved, would involve the installment of up to ten wind turbines located throughout the site (see Submission 1: Site Plan) built out in one phase. Saint John Energy (SJE) initiated the process to establish a wind energy resource as a means of increasing the amount of renewable energy sources it has in its supply. The company's goal is to reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve this, SJE engaged the Province Page 4 of 10 86 Meg Morris (Natural Forces) 399 Burchill Road February 14, 2020 to secure an exploratory license and begin the process of establishing wind turbines on Crown Land. The Province endorsed the Project, and SJE has since awarded the license to operate the wind turbines to Natural Forces, the current applicant. Site Selection Natural Forces has identified the proposed site for the Project for several reasons. Foremost, the site benefits from several high elevation points that present significant wind resources to sustainably harness (see Map 6: Site Elevation). As indicated in the information submitted by the applicant, at the full build -out the operation of ten wind turbines could provide enough energy for 10,000 homes in Saint John. The goal is to supply the local electrical grid with renewable "clean" energy and reduce the amount of fossil fuels that SJE depends on to supply power to the local community. Secondly, the site is distant from the residential areas of the City. As discussed in this report, the main concerns regarding the placement of windfarms relates to the amount of disturbance the active turbines could have on residents living near the site. As Attachment 2 shows, the proposed location of the nearest turbine to a residential dwelling is approximately 1.25 kilometres. This is more than enough distance to effectively mitigate any potential negative impacts. Site and Surrounding Area Site The site comprises a portion of the PID 00412189 located north of King William Road and south of the Saint John Throughway. The site is a large swath of undeveloped land that is mostly in a natural, forested state, with the exception of the area in the northern part of the property that was the location of the former Spruce Lake Landfill. The subject site is located in a remote area of the City, with the surrounding land uses characterized predominantly by a variety of industrial uses. This includes laydown yards, scrap yards, to more noxious and disruptive industrial activities, such as asphalt plants, pits and quarries, and a power plant. Burchill Road, which is located next to the Coleson Cove power plant entrance, accesses the site from King William Road, which the applicant has indicated will be the primary entrance to the site for accessing the turbines. Paddys Hill Drive is a secondary access to the site that is located in the opposite end of the King William Road, and will likely provide access to some of the turbines that will likely be located in this area. In addition to Burchill Road and Paddys Hill Drive, the applicant is proposing a private road internal to the site that will grant access to the majority of the turbines. Although this road will be used strictly for access to support the construction and maintenance of the turbines, the road will need to have a name for emergency response reasons, which will require Council approval. The applicant has communicated an interest in having the First Nations community, who have Page 5 of 10 87 Meg Morris (Natural Forces) 399 Burchill Road February 14, 2020 been engaged through the consultation process thus far; decide on the name for this road. As such, the proposed name will be before Council for consideration in a separate report. Surrounding Environmental Area As with any large-scale development plan, a primary consideration is the impact it will have on the natural environment. This area of the West Side includes several water features, such as streams, lakes, and wetlands. These areas are sensitive environmental features that provide important ecological functions. The applicant has mapped the sensitive watercourses and features in the area to illustrate their location in proximity to the proposed turbines (see Submission 2: Watercourses and Wetlands). Although the placement of the turbines is approximate at this point, the applicant will use the location of the water features to help inform their eventual placement. As the map shows, there is significant opportunity to locate ten wind turbines on the site without negatively impacting these sensitive environmental features. The impact the project will have on the surrounding environment, including the wetland areas, will be detailed in an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) that is required for the project and is currently being produced. The EIA will also include important mitigation strategies where there may be impact on the natural environment. The applicant has already completed several of the required studies, such as watercourse and vegetation surveys, bird and bat surveys, a Shadow Flicker Impact Assessment and a Sound Level Assessment (see Submission 4 and 5). Natural Forces will register the EIA with the Province in early 2020. Municipal Development Plan Context Sources of `green energy', which include the harnessing of wind and solar energy, are becoming important features to include in the mix of the energy resources used to sustain communities across the world. Increasing the percentage of green sources of energy for the community provides cleaner outputs that do not contribute to climate change. The subject site is located in a variety of rural land use designations, all of which support the development of wind turbines as a means of harnessing renewable energy. In 2019, Common Council approved amendments to the City's Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law for those designations to encourage wind and solar forms of green energy production. Renewable energy sources are essential building blocks for the community as we continue to develop strategies to adapt to the realities of climate change. Policy NE -38 directs that land uses involving the development of wind and solar energy "shall occur in the Green Energy zone". Further policy was added to the Municipal Plan in the Rural Resource, Heavy Industrial, and Parks and Natural Area designations to further enable green energy development. Criteria were provided for considering rezonings in Policy LU -95, which this application achieves and are detailed in Attachment 3. Policy 1-2 adds further clarity for Council when considering the appropriateness of a rezoning to Green Energy (GE). Attachment 3 provides an overview of the guidelines presented in the City's Municipal Plan, as well as the ability for the proposed Burchill Road application to meet these Page 6 of 10 88 Meg Morris (Natural Forces) 399 Burchill Road February 14, 2020 standards. Specifically, the Plan requires the site to be selected based on its ability to leverage existing infrastructure and not result in added costs to the City. In this case, Burchill Road is a private access that is not maintained by the City, meaning there will be no increased cost resulting from the proposed windfarm development. The Plan also requires a rezoning to Green Energy (GE) to consider potential land use conflicts and provide controls, where necessary, to mitigate any negative impacts. Due to the remote location of the proposed site, there is also no anticipated conflict in traffic flow or land uses. This area of the City has limited vehicular traffic or pedestrians. At its closest point to the subject site, the residential area of the Lorneville Neighbourhood is far enough away to minimize any concerns related to noise levels or shadow flicker impacts, as indicated in Submissions 4 and 5. According the submitted Sound Assessment Map, the nearest dwelling in Lorneville is at a range that would experience approximately 35db of noise at the highest level of impact. As illustrated on Submission 6 (How Loud is a Wind Turbine), that level of noise is comparable to an average whisper. As illustrated on Submission 7, the presence of the wind turbines will be visible from some areas of the Lorneville community. However, in staff's opinion, the appearance is not offensive or entirely out -of -place considering the surrounding context of the adjacent industrial park and associated heavy industrial uses. It is worth noting that the Heavy Industrial (IH) zone, which currently exists in the eastern area of the site, has no building height limits, meaning a structure the same size as the proposed turbine could be built as -of -right in this zone. The other zones currently present on the site limit the height of a structure; however, they also permit land uses that include more impactful industrial operations that, arguably, could generate a greater degree of concern from surrounding residents. The City's proactive decision to establish a planning context for the Committee and Council to contemplate land uses that involve the generation of green energy was an important first step to promoting the production of sustainable energy sources. The integration of energy produced by a windfarm helps advance the Plan's goal of achieving a more sustainable community for future residents of the City. Rezoning As stated above, the applicant is seeking to rezone the subject site from Rural (RU), Medium Industrial (IM), Heavy Industrial (IH), and Pit and Quarry (PQ) to Green Energy (GE) (see Map 3: Zoning). The Province acquired the land in the early 1970s with the vision of expanding the industrial area to grow the employment base of the City. The variety of zones that are present in the area reflects this past effort to incubate strategic industrial growth. A windfarm is a non-polluting industrial use that provides long-term sustainable benefits to the community. The uses otherwise currently permitted in the Medium Industrial (IM) and Heavy Industrial (IH) zones have significantly more potential of developing into land uses involving outputs that have an associated negative environmental impact. Page 7 of 10 89 Meg Morris (Natural Forces) 399 Burchill Road February 14, 2020 The Green Energy (GE) zone requires a wind turbine to have a minimum setback of one kilometre from a residential dwelling. "Attachment 2" details the distance that each of the proposed turbines will have from the nearest residential dwelling, all of which comply with this By-law standard. The requirement of one kilometre provides a generous buffer that mitigates any concerns arising from the proximity of residential dwellings to the operations of a wind turbine. Site Access As stated above, the main access to the site will be from Burchill Road. The first approximate 2.5 kilometres of the road was rezoned along with the quarry site at 1035 Burchill Road in 2008. The development of wind turbines is not a permitted use in the PQ zone. As such, the proposed Special Zone #5 (SZ -5) includes the uses identified in both the Pit and Quarry (PQ) zone and the Green Energy (GE) zone. As stated in the Background section, the Community Planning Act requires a private access to be in a zone that permits the proposed or active use of the lot that it is providing access to. In this case, the private road (Burchill Road) will be providing access to both the windfarm and the existing quarry site. The City's Zoning By-law does not currently have a zone that permits both of these land uses. As such, a special zone is required that includes these uses, which will grant legal access to both sites equally. Since the initial rezoning in 2008, the entrance to the quarry site has shifted approximately 200 metres north-east from the entrance indicated on the original site plan. This segment of the road is located in the Rural (RU) zone as it was not considered part of the access at that time and is therefore not permitted to be used as an access for a quarry site (see Map 5: Zoning of Burchill Road). Part of the current recommendation is to rezone that small portion of the road to Special Zone #5 (SZ -5) to align it with the rest of Burchill Road that was subject to the 2008 rezoning to PQ. In addition, Map 5 also illustrates a small segment of Burchill Road just beyond the quarry site that is located in the Pit and Quarry (PQ) zone. The zoning of this portion of road is an oversight from the 2008 rezoning of the site, as this area of the road does not provide access to the quarry site. As a result, it would also not permit access for the operations of a Green Energy project. Staff recommendation is to rezone this portion of the road to Green Energy (GE) and rescind the Section 59 conditions that are associated with the current PQ zone. Potential Variances The proposed layout illustrated on the attached site plan is a preliminary concept drafted to facilitate the rezoning process. Should the proposed location of the proposed wind turbines, or other details relating to their installment, require any variances from the standards of the Zoning By-law, the Development Officer will process these elements separately. Conclusion The proposed rezoning is in compliance with recently approved amendments to the Municipal Plan to facilitate Green Energy developments. The subject site is located in a remote area of the City that is predominantly in a natural, forested state. The surrounding land uses in this area Page 8 of 10 90 Meg Morris (Natural Forces) 399 Burchill Road February 14, 2020 of the City are a broad mixture of industrial activities, ranging from scrap yards to the Coleson Cove Power Plant. The proposed mapping amendments ensure proper site access and correct a historic map amendment error. The proposed use is supported by the vision of the Municipal Plan, and can meet the standards of the Zoning Bylaw. Staff recommend approval. ALTERNATIVES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS There are no alternative considerations proposed for this application. ENGAGEMENT Proponent As a preliminary phase to the current proposal, Natural Forces held a public open house on September 24, 2019 at the Lorneville Community Centre. In their summary report, Natural Forces state that over 60 people attended the open house and were predominantly supportive of the Project (the applicant's summary of the feedback generated from the first open house can be found in Submission 3). Natural Forces has also undergone consultations with First Nations groups in the area to get feedback on the proposed wind turbine development. Public In accordance with the Committee's Rules of Procedure, notification of the proposal was sent to landowners within 100 metres of the subject property on February 7, 2020. The rezoning was posted on the City of Saint John website on February 13, 2020.

The purpose of this event was to inform local residents and stakeholders about the project, to answer any questions, and to accept feedback on the proposal. The open house included various display materials, including: • A two -meter high display with a project map, overview, and timeline. • A poster with information about Natural Forces • Posters with information about the noise and environmental studies being conducted • Handouts summarizing all of the information on the display and posters • CanWEA handouts with information about the wind industry • Binders of research about wind turbines and human health • Questionnaires for participants to fill out • Sign -in and mailing list sheets All of this information was displayed around the room for participants to read. Natural Forces staff were present to answer any questions and accept comments that participants had. There were beverages and light snacks available and various locations to sit and read the materials or fill out the questionnaire. Natural Forces informed community members of the open house by sending out an admail to all residents in the Lorneville area, running news paper advertisements in the Telegraph Journal for two weeks, and notifying the stakeholders that has already been identified. Many community members attended the open house, with more than 60 people who signed in. The participants who filled out the mailing list sheet have been added to the mailing list for future notifications about project events and updates. Overall, the participants were very interested in the project and were keen to speak with the Natural Forces representatives. While most of the community members were supportive of wind energy, many were concerned that the wind turbines were being proposed too close to homes. The specific concerns related to health risks, property values, aesthetics, noise, and shadow flicker. The health-related concerns were largely based on the information included in an anti -wind pamphlet circulated by a community member that featured the dangers of "wind turbine syndrome” and had several articles attached to back up this claim. These articles were written by Dr. Nina Pierpont who sells books on wind turbine syndrome. None of the studies listed in the pamphlet had been published or accepted by any peer reviewed scientific journal, due to improper research methods and drawing conclusions from incomplete data. ` tell, I naturahorc ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, �patUrA Forces � 1801 P-WHs Stlreet 1I Surte 1205 Q Ih-Uffax � INS � B31 3N.4 � Ta (902 4:22 9663 � F: (902) 422 9-780 As Natural Forces has learned through conversations with residents, the citizens of Lorneville have had a challenging history with government expropriation of their land, and several projects that were developed without their support. This has made community members wary of new developments. Most of the fear and concerns originated from the misinformation spread by the anti -wind pamphlets. At the open house, Natural Forces presented materials prepared by independent organizations that pull from peer-reviewed studies about the impacts of wind turbines. Overall, these studies show no negative health impacts directly from wind turbines on nearby residents. Natural Forces has posted links to recent health studies on the Burchill Wind Project website and provided theses studies to anyone interested. The majority of attendees were Lorneville community members, but there were also many residents from closer to the City of Saint John centre who attended. Most participants were quite amicable and interested in learning about the project and there were a few individuals who were particularly wary of the project and not particularly interested in learning the facts on wind energy. Natural Forces representatives listened to everyone's opinions and tried to better inform people on the science behind wind turbines. Attendees were also interested in how many jobs the project would create, how the wind turbines would visually affect the horizon, and how the new development of the wind turbines would interfere with future development of hiking and ATV trails. The general sentiment of the community was very much in favor of wind and renewable energy, but very apprehensive of further developments near their homes. Overall, the open house was successful in conveying project and supporting information to community members and in documenting community questions and concerns. `DR In Ontario, noise guidelines specific to wind power have been in place since 2004 and have been updated a number of times since. The regulatory requirements include detailed noise modelling, sound level limits for operating wind turbines, and post -construction sound measurement requirements. Studying potential sound levels Wind energy developers first rely on wind turbine manufacturers to provide data about the sound levels the wind turbine will produce during operations. Next, the developer uses the noise calculations and measurements within the context of the development area to optimize turbine layouts and to minimize sound levels for residents. Once the turbines are operational, sound audits are conducted to measure turbine sounds (ensuring they meet manufacturers' sound specifications), and to measure sound levels at nearby residences. Are wind turbine sounds more noticeable at night? The background noises typically heard in rural areas during the day — such as from farming, or from nearby roads — often decrease at night. When that happens, wind turbine sounds can be more noticeable. How can residents around a wind project learn more about sound levels? As part of the provincial environmental assessment process, local residents have an opportunity to attend open houses and discuss concerns about potential sound levels with the wind developer and provincial and local regulators. How loud is a wind turbine? The diagram below shows how the sound levels from a wind turbine measure up. i Near the edge of a major highway Normal human speech at lm distance Moderate rainfall Distant highway traffic Average whisper Remote area on a very calm day Threshold of hearing Illustration of Site from Lorneville Church Illustration of Site from Lorneville Community Centre iWe] From: OM Construction To: onestoo Subject: Zoning By-law Amendment (Rezoning) Application & Section 59 Amendment - 399 Burchill Road Date: February 18, 2020 11:25:53 AM We are writing in response to your correspondence dated February 5, 2020 regarding the above referenced rezoning application.

As part of this RFP, Natural Forces has proposed a project that consists of five (5) to ten (10) wind turbines with an installed capacity between twenty (20) and forty-two (42) MW, to be supplied to Saint John's electrical grid. Natural Forces was announced as the successful Proponent chosen to develop and operate this Burchill Wind Project on September 4, 2019. 1.o Project Overview The proposed project is called the Burchill Wind Project (the "Project"), and is sited on Crown land approximately 15 kilometers southwest from the City of Saint John near Lorneville and the existing Coleson Cove Generating Station. The regional location of the Project site is shown in Map 1 in Appendix A. The Project would make use of the existing Burchill Road for access as much as feasible and would consist of 5 to 10 turbines with a total installed capacity ranging between twenty (20) and forty-two (42) megawatts (MW). The Project is proposed to connect to the Saint John Energy electrical grid, and would require an on-site substation and interconnection infrastructure to be developed by Saint John Energy. Saint John Energy has secured an exploratory license of occupation over the Crown Lands (PID 00412189) being considered for the Project. This license, the extent of which is shown as the Project Site Lands in Map 2 in Appendix A, is currently in the process of being assigned to Natural Forces. The secured lands allow for a variation of the turbine locations based on the findings and constraints of environmental studies and field surveys. There are several known mapped regulated wetlands on the site that are connected by small watercourses, which have been taken into consideration in the current proposed Project layout. A more detailed preliminary environmental screening is provided in the following sections. The Project area is known to have an energetic wind regime, largely due to its elevation. At the proposed turbine locations, elevations vary from 51 m to 74 m. The exact geographic location of the site is included in Table 1. Table 1: Coordinates of the Project site. Longitude & Latitude UTM Zone 19 Geographic site center 660 11' 59.13" W 450 10' 22.12" N 720037 m E, 5005963 m N For additional information on the proposed Burchill Wind Project, visit the project website at: ,haps:/ www:.nat.u.ra.lfo.rces...ca k.u.rc.h I.I- i.n.d— .rcruect 1 `f11:3 alai C III \A/Ind II ie t ' ujv t 1:3 i [vf tvc vrrher 2019, 2.0 Considerations Natural Forces has extensive knowledge and experience with respect to project site finding and the development of wind farms. There are many considerations to take into account when developing these types of projects and a detailed assessment of these considerations is ongoing to further refine the turbine locations to provide efficient renewable energy, while minimizing impacts on the community and environment. Natural Forces has used the lands chosen and secured by Saint John Energy for the early development proposal of this Project, shown in Map 2 in Appendix A, to develop the preliminary turbine layout following an internal review of the site. Natural Forces believes this Project site is attractive due, in no particular order, to its estimated wind resource, its elevation, and the industrial nature of the surrounding lands. The area has extensive industrial disturbances including a waterline, a pipeline, three communication towers, several gravel pits, several transmission lines, and the Coleson Cove Generating facility and its auxiliary buildings. On a site visit on a clear day, industrial sounds can be heard throughout the Project site lands. The following is a list of factors that have been considered during the Natural Forces site review: • Technical Considerations; 1. Sufficient wind resource; 2. Regional topography; 3. Proximity to existing electrical infrastructure; and, 4. Turbine technology. • Environmental Considerations; 1. Proximity to provincially regulated wetlands; 2. Proximity to residential dwellings or other sensitive buildings; 3. Sensitivity of flora & fauna; 4. Proximity to provincial or national parks and nature reserves; and, 5. Risk of archaeological resource disturbance. • Land use considerations; 1. Known culturally significant areas; 2. Current land use; 3. Future land use; 4. Available access to the land; and, 5. Proximity to residential properties, communities, and towns. The proposed locations of the turbines in the 10 -turbine layout, as shown in Map 2 in Appendix A, are detailed in Table 2, along with their respective ground elevations and distance to nearest residential dwelling. The turbine model for this project has not yet been decided. The turbines being considered have hub heights that range from 120 m to 135 m. The tallest model being considered at this time has a total height, from ground to blade tip, of 205 m. 2 `104%7 alai d'1111 \A/Ind I'i ie t ' ujv t 1:3 i [vf tvc vrrher 2019, Table 2: Location and ground elevation of turbines in the proposed 10 -turbine layout. 1 Wind Resource - Wind Monitoring Campaign The New Brunswick Wind Atlas indicates the approximate wind speed at the Project site lands is within a range sufficient for wind farm development. The predominate wind direction is from the southwest, typical of Canada's east coast. The turbine locations have been optimized to account for this southwesterly wind direction in order to maximize the wind energy generation. Natural Forces has installed a meteorological mast on site to collect detailed wind data specific to the site to assist in further refining the turbine locations to best capture the wind resource. Environmental Considerations The following studies will be included as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the Project: • Predicted Environmental (physical, biophysical, and socio-economic) Impacts and Mitigation; • Shadow Flicker Impact Assessment; • Noise Impact Assessment; • Public Consultation & Stakeholder Consultation; and, • Rightsholders and First Nation Consultation. 3 `Kill Distance to Nearest Turbine Location Ground Elevation Residential Dwelling 45°10'6.86"N T1 71 m 2.06 km 66°12'20.37"W 45°10'1.35"N T2 73 m 1.25 km 66'11'43.38"W 45°10'15.52"N T3 74 m 1.5 km 66°11'52.89"W 45°10'42.44"N T4 73 m 1.49 km 66°11'25.73"W 45°11'2.30"N T5 60 m 1.75 km 66'11'12.18"W 45°11'25.45"N T6 51 m 1.87 km 66°11'8.12"W 45°11'4.04"N T7 58 m 2.77 km 66'12'18.56"W 45°11'39.49"N T8 63 m 2.94 km 66°12'11.39"W 45°11'56.87"N T9 57 m 1.55 km 66'11'10.69"W 45°12'13.12"N T10 70 m 1.64 km 66'11'16.05"W 1 Wind Resource - Wind Monitoring Campaign The New Brunswick Wind Atlas indicates the approximate wind speed at the Project site lands is within a range sufficient for wind farm development.

The entirety of the Project site lands were surveyed for birds and bats during the 2019 survey season. Surveys will continue during the 2020 survey season. These surveys will include bird and bat monitoring, as well as any additional surveys required through the provincial EIA process. Maps of the shadow flicker and noise impact assessments are included in Appendix B. The EIA for the Project is set to be registered with the province in early 2020, the feedback from which will shape our remaining studies. 1 Protected Areas A search of the GeoNB geographical data layers that identify federal and provincial parks, protected natural areas (PNA), and wildlife refuges, as well as the database for Important Bird Areas (IBA) was carried out to identify protected areas near the proposed Project site lands. The results of this search are shown in Map 3 in Appendix A. The closest protected areas are the Musquash Estuary PNA, located just over 1 km west of the nearest proposed turbine location, and an IBA located approximately 5 km east of the nearest proposed turbine location. Wetlands and Watercourses A search of the GeoNB database also reveals known, regulated wetlands and watercourses within the Project site boundaries. Field surveys are being carried out to verify the location of these areas, as well as unmapped wetlands and watercourses. Map 4 in Appendix A shows the proposed Project layout with the known regulated wetlands and watercourses Residential Areas The Project is proposed in a rural location. The nearest community to the Project is Lorneville, New Brunswick. Preliminary noise and shadow flicker impact assessments have been completed to ensure minimal impact on nearby residents. These assessments show that the Project complies with noise and shadow flicker regulations determined by the Province. Maps included in Appendix B show the results of these preliminary studies. Further detailed assessments will be included in the EIA. Archaeological Services Database Results An Archaeological Services database search has been initiated to identify the potential for archaeological resources on the Project site and is shown in Appendix C. 4 131 alai d'1111 \A/Ind II ie t ' ujv t 1:3 i [vf tvc vrrher 2019, 3.0 Permitting Table 3 includes a list of permits that will likely be required for the development and construction of the Project.

As the Project will have an approximate nameplate capacity of 20-42 MW, an ElAwill be required. The EIA is currently being prepared and is set to be registered with the province in early 2020. Natural Forces has experience conducting EIAs for wind projects in New Brunswick. The EIA for the Project will be managed internally by the Natural Forces team. 5 119% alai C III \A/Ind II mie t ' ujv t 1:3 i [vf tvc vrrher 2019, Natural Forces has held several meetings with the NB Environmental Assessment branch of the Department of Environmental and Local Government, as well as the Department of Energy and Mines to discuss the scoping and general regulation requirements for several of its proposed wind farm projects. The NB EIA Wind Turbine Specific Guidelines is being followed in the preparation of the EIA. Proposed Project Timeline The Project schedule activities are currently arranged into five (5) distinct phases. 1. Development Phase includes all development activities preceding the construction of the Project. These activities include the core of the main Project development tasks, including environmental field surveys, EIA writing, First Nation consultation, public consultation, wind resources assessment, site geotechnical work, and permitting. The engineering design and system and facilities impact studies that will be conducted by Saint John Energy are included in this phase. Saint John Energy initiated this phase in Q2 2019 and Natural Forces has taken over most development activities. 2. Pre -Construction Phase includes all pre -construction activities that often overlap the initial development activities for a project. Activities in this phase include preparing the financing arrangement for debt and equity, wind turbine supply negotiation, final site design, execution of the Facilities Study Agreement, tendering for all construction contracts, and final construction -related permitting. This phase is expected to run from Q3 2020 to Q4 2020. 3. Construction Phase includes all construction and commissioning activities. These activities range from tree clearing and grubbing, to road building, electrical works, foundation pouring, turbine delivery, turbine assembly, and final project commissioning. This phase is expected to run from Q3 2020 to Q4 2021, and includes the necessary network transmission upgrades that will be commissioned by Saint John Energy. The proposed Commercial Operation Date is set for Q4 2021. 4. Operational Phase includes all activities that occur during the operation of the wind project, once it has been commissioned. These range from post -construction monitoring, annual monitoring reports, remote monitoring of turbine performance, and maintenance. This phase is expected to run from Q4 2021 to decommissioning of the Project. 5. Decommissioning Phase includes all the activities that will occur to decommission the Project. These include the removal of the turbine materials and associated infrastructure to an appropriate underground depth, and the restoration of the site. Decommissioning activities will be planned a few months prior to the decommissioning date. This date may vary as the life of a wind turbine can be extended by replacing certain parts to safely produce additional energy after its original lifespan. Replacing turbine parts to maintain operation would also be dependent on the desire of Saint John Energy to purchase additional power from the project after the initial power purchase agreement term. 0 `19193 alai d'1111 \A/Ind I'i ie t ' ujv t 1:3 i [vf tvc vrrher 2019, 4.0 Public and Stakeholder Consultation and Engagement Natural Forces is committed to ensuring that the local community and all stakeholders are engaged in the Project. Natural Forces has prepared a Public Consultation and Communication Plan outlining the main consultation and communication activities that will be ongoing throughout the project to maintain transparency with stakeholders. These activities include: • Maintaining an up-to-date project website; • Hosting open houses in the community to provide information and accept feedback; • Engage in meetings with individuals, community groups, and businesses as requested; and • Send project updates to the project mailing list. This Public Consultation and Communication Plan is a baseline that will be shaped by the feedback and requests received by stakeholders. The first Open House was held on September 24th at the Lorneville Community Center, documentation of which is included in Appendix D, including: • A summary of the discussions had at the Open House, as well as a description of the event; • The handout offered to participants with a summary of the information presented on the display boa rds; • The questionnaire that participants were encouraged to fill out and submit to Natural Forces; and, • The updated Burchill Wind Project website that was updated after the Open House with answers to the FAQs. The second Open House will be scheduled in early 2020 upon the submission of the EIA to the Province. Consultation has also been ongoing with regulatory bodies, community organizations, and the other users of this land. 5.0 Closure Natural Forces' proposal for the Burchill Wind Project consists of five (5) to ten (10) wind turbine generators capable of producing approximately 20-42 MW of renewable energy, which will displace electricity produced from fossil fuels. Consultation and engagement with a wide variety of stakeholders and rights holders will be continuous to gauge the full range of impacts and concerns of the Project. The following benefits are associated with the Burchill Wind Project: • Production of emission -free energy, which will displace energy produced from fossil fuels in New Brunswick and contribute to the growing renewable energy sector in Saint John; • Reduction of New Brunswick's contribution to anthropogenic induced climate change, which is putting our environment at serious risk; • Increased revenue for the local area through payment of annual property taxes; 7 R0111 alai d'1111 \A/Ind II ie t ' ujv t 1:3 i [vf tvc vrrher 2019, • Increased revenue for local businesses due to activities associated with the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of the Project; and, • Creation of additional employment in the region during the entire Project life. The Burchill Wind Project provides an excellent opportunity to transform a disturbed industrial site into a productive source of renewable energy, leading to increased source diversity while contributing to meeting increasing energy demands. Natural Forces is excited to develop this Project and looks forward to working with stakeholders to garner community support for the Project.

The purpose of this event was to inform local residents and stakeholders about the project, to answer any questions, and to accept feedback on the proposal. The open house included various display materials, including: • A two -meter high display with a project map, overview, and timeline. • A poster with information about Natural Forces • Posters with information about the noise and environmental studies being conducted • Handouts summarizing all of the information on the display and posters • CanWEA handouts with information about the wind industry • Binders of research about wind turbines and human health • Questionnaires for participants to fill out • Sign -in and mailing list sheets All of this information was displayed around the room for participants to read. Natural Forces staff were present to answer any questions and accept comments that participants had. There were beverages and light snacks available and various locations to sit and read the materials or fill out the questionnaire. Natural Forces informed community members of the open house by sending out an admail to all residents in the Lorneville area, running news paper advertisements in the Telegraph Journal for two weeks, and notifying the stakeholders that has already been identified. Many community members attended the open house, with more than 60 people who signed in. The participants who filled out the mailing list sheet have been added to the mailing list for future notifications about project events and updates. Overall, the participants were very interested in the project and were keen to speak with the Natural Forces representatives. While most of the community members were supportive of wind energy, many were concerned that the wind turbines were being proposed too close to homes. The specific concerns related to health risks, property values, aesthetics, noise, and shadow flicker. The health-related concerns were largely based on the information included in an anti -wind pamphlet circulated by a community member that featured the dangers of "wind turbine syndrome” and had several articles attached to back up this claim. These articles were written by Dr. Nina Pierpont who sells books on wind turbine syndrome. None of the studies listed in the pamphlet had been published or accepted by any peer reviewed scientific journal, due to improper research methods and drawing conclusions from incomplete data. `IN naturahorc ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, �patUrA Forces � 1801 P-WHs Stlreet 1I Surte 1205 Q Ih-Uffax � INS � B31 3N.4 � Ta (902 4:22 9663 � F: (902) 422 9-780 As Natural Forces has learned through conversations with residents, the citizens of Lorneville have had a challenging history with government expropriation of their land, and several projects that were developed without their support. This has made community members wary of new developments. Most of the fear and concerns originated from the misinformation spread by the anti -wind pamphlets. At the open house, Natural Forces presented materials prepared by independent organizations that pull from peer-reviewed studies about the impacts of wind turbines. Overall, these studies show no negative health impacts directly from wind turbines on nearby residents. Natural Forces has posted links to recent health studies on the Burchill Wind Project website and provided theses studies to anyone interested. The majority of attendees were Lorneville community members, but there were also many residents from closer to the City of Saint John centre who attended. Most participants were quite amicable and interested in learning about the project and there were a few individuals who were particularly wary of the project and not particularly interested in learning the facts on wind energy. Natural Forces representatives listened to everyone's opinions and tried to better inform people on the science behind wind turbines. Attendees were also interested in how many jobs the project would create, how the wind turbines would visually affect the horizon, and how the new development of the wind turbines would interfere with future development of hiking and ATV trails. The general sentiment of the community was very much in favor of wind and renewable energy, but very apprehensive of further developments near their homes. Overall, the open house was successful in conveying project and supporting information to community members and in documenting community questions and concerns. `[E:3 IN 1, INNER J�'uu I uuuui I Y i� III CONTACT US ------- - --- - ----------- Proposed Burchill Wind Project 40, AMYpI , ABOUT US: Natural Forces is a private independent power producer from Halifax NS, that delivers renewable energy pro- jects in partnership with local communities across Canada.

It has also become one of the lowest -cost options for new electricity supply, while providing significant economic benefits to Canadian communities. People have been living, working and enjoying productive lives near wind farms for decades. Wind energy is a growing source of electricity in more than 90 countries around the world. It is a safe and sustainable choice for the production of emissions -free electricity. Unlike many other sources of energy, wind energy does not produce toxic, hazardous or radioactive waste, requires significantly less water, creates no air pollution, and does not contribute to climate change. It is important to have factual information when making decisions about Canada's energy future. One common concern is that sounds from wind turbines can cause health effects. This has been studied extensively and the balance of scientific evidence and human experience to date clearly concludes that wind turbines are not harmful to human health. The global wind industry continues to engage with experts in science, medicine and occupational and environmental health to monitor ongoing, credible research in the area of wind turbines and human health. What do the experts say? Health Canada's 2014 Wind Turbine Noise and Health Study found that wind turbine noise exposure was not associated with self-reported medical illnesses and health conditions. This study was undertaken in Ontario and Prince Edward Island, studying residents of homes in the vicinity of 18 wind farms (consisting of 399 wind turbines). The study found that the following disorders were not associated with wind turbine noise: Self-reported sleep problems (such as general disturbance, use of sleep medication, diagnosed sleep disorders); Self-reported illnesses (such as dizziness, tinnitus, prevalence of frequent migraines and headaches) and chronic health conditions (such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes); and Self-reported perceived stress and quality of life. The study did find that higher levels of wind turbine noise based on proximity were statistically associated with annoyance. It also found that annoyance was significantly lower among the 110 participants who received a personal benefit from the wind farm, which could include lease payments, employment, etc. A review of 60 research studies conducted worldwide on wind turbines and human health was published in Frontiers in Public Health and the authors concluded that the weight of evidence suggests that when sited properly, wind turbines are not related to adverse health effects in humans though they may be a source of annoyance for some people. Wind energy has been used to generate electricity in Canada for more than three decades. It has many benefits — wind power does not pollute the air or emit greenhouse gases, it does not use water when producing electricity, and it has become the lowest -cost source for new electricity while benefiting local communities economically. Some people living near existing or proposed wind turbines have expressed concerns about the sound levels coming from the turbines. Here are some facts about sound levels and how the wind energy industry strives to keep them at very low levels. What kinds of sounds do wind energy developments produce? Construction represents the most active phase of a wind energy project, in terms of personnel, equipment and overall activity, so during this time sound emitted on a project site can be louder. When construction concludes, the related sounds end too. Once the wind turbines are operational and are producing electricity, they produce two types of sound, aerodynamic and mechanical. Aerodynamic sound is created as the turbine blades pass through the air. This makes a "whoosh" or "swishing" sound. Mechanical wind turbine sound comes from the working components and rotating gears of the turbine. The wind energy industry has reduced mechanical sounds through improved insulation and overall design. Some people claim that infrasound (which is sound at frequencies that cannot be heard by people) are a health concern. However, various studies show that infrasound near wind developments does not pose a concern for human health. For example, the Association of Australian Acoustical Consultants produced a position paper stating that "investigations conclude that infrasound levels adjacent to wind farms are below the threshold of perception and below currently -accepted limits set for infrasound." Canadian sound regulations Government requirements across Canada require that wind farms keep sound levels at required levels when measured at nearby dwellings. Wind energy developers in Canada follow regulations for wind facilities that are administered by provincial governments. They also follow the best practices developed by the wind energy industry. This is in the interest of wind developers, who must meet the stringent requirements designed by regulators to protect communities from noise for their project to be approved. For example, in Alberta a Noise Impact Assessment is required for all wind power project applications. The assessment considers other operational or proposed wind facilities nearby, as well as sound limits and distance constraints that create space between areas of concern (such as inhabited structures and property lines) and the wind project. (continued on next page) In Ontario, noise guidelines specific to wind power have been in place since 2004 and have been updated a number of times since. The regulatory requirements include detailed noise modelling, sound level limits for operating wind turbines, and post -construction sound measurement requirements. Studying potential sound levels Wind energy developers first rely on wind turbine manufacturers to provide data about the sound levels the wind turbine will produce during operations. Next, the developer uses the noise calculations and measurements within the context of the development area to optimize turbine layouts and to minimize sound levels for residents. Once the turbines are operational, sound audits are conducted to measure turbine sounds (ensuring they meet manufacturers' sound specifications), and to measure sound levels at nearby residences. Are wind turbine sounds more noticeable at night? The background noises typically heard in rural areas during the day — such as from farming, or from nearby roads — often decrease at night. When that happens, wind turbine sounds can be more noticeable. How can residents around a wind project learn more about sound levels? As part of the provincial environmental assessment process, local residents have an opportunity to attend open houses and discuss concerns about potential sound levels with the wind developer and provincial and local regulators. How loud is a wind turbine? The diagram below shows how the sound levels from a wind turbine measure up. i Near the edge of a major highway Normal human speech at lm distance Moderate rainfall Distant highway traffic Average whisper Remote area on a very calm day Threshold of hearing Burchill Wind Project - Public Information Session September 24th, 2019 Visitor Questionnaire Your feedback is important to us!

Natural Forces submitted a proposal to develop this wind energy project in March 2019 to Saint John Energy as part of Saint John Energy's Request for Proposals to acquire additional renewable energy sources as part of their energy supply. As of September 4, 2019, Natural Forces has officially been selected as the proponent of this project moving forward. Natural Forces is a regional energy developer headquartered in Halifax, NS that has successfully developed, constructed, and operated multiple wind projects in Atlantic Canada for over a decade. Natural Forces has been working in New Brunswick for over 15 years, beginning with the development of the first wind farm in the province - Kents Hills in partnership with TransAlta Corp. Natural Forces is currently managing the construction of two additional wind farms in New Brunswick - the Richibucto Wind Project owned in partnership with Pabineau First Nation and the Wocawson Energy Project owned in partnership with Tobique First Nation.

The news coverage can be found at the following links: Why Here? Burchill Wind Project When developing a wind project, it is crucial to find the best suitable location and community to host it. To do so, there are four main factors to consider during the site finding phase of development: • Wind resource • Distance to existing electrical and civil infrastructure • Environmental sensitivity • Socio-economic concerns Wind resource: To measure the wind resource, a temporary meteorological mast or 'met mast' is being installed on the project site. The met mast is equipped to measure the wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and relative humidity. Distance to existing electrical and civil infrastructure: The project is located along the existing Burchill Road, which will largely be used to access the site. This project will connect to existing Saint John Energy electrical infrastructure. 162 https://www.naturalforces.ca/burchill-wind-project.htmi 6/17 if MIMU Environmental sensitivity: Burchill Wind Project The project is not expected to present any significant environmental concer -, prohibit development. Various field surveys will be carried out, the results from which will be submitted as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment. Socio-economic concerns: The proposed project is located on Crown land that has significant industrial disturbances including a waterline, a pipeline, three communication towers, several gravel pits, several transmission lines, the Coleson Cove Generating Facility, and a capped landfill. These disturbances combine to cause there to be industrial sounds throughout the project site. The site will allow all turbine locations to be more than a kilometer away from any residential buildings. What's Happening? September 4, 2019 - Natural Forces was Hill announced as the successful proponent of the Burchill Wind Project. September 24, 2019 - Natural Forces will host a open house at the Lorneville Community Centre.

There are fears of fossil fuel shortages, and an international consensus that burning fossil fuels is contributing to our planet's increasingly rapid climate change. Power generation from clean energy sources has become increasingly important. To reflect these needs, the Canadian government's targets seek to increase Canada's electricity generated by renewable sources to 40% by 2020. The benefits of wind energy in Canada are extensive: • New energy generation helps to meet the growing demand for electricity. • Increased diversity of supply and therefore, increased security of supply. • Aids in the prevention of biodiversity loss caused by unchecked world temperature rises. For more information on wind energy in Canada, visit: www canwea.ca. Some people have concerns about the impact of wind farms on house prices, health, and other issues. As a result, many studies have been done with regard to these issues and are available on Government and Industry association websites. To help people find good quality information, the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) lists Windy myths about Wind Power. Many more facts about Wind Energy can also be found on the CanWEA Wind Facts page (FAQ's). Are wind turbines noisy? Since wind turbines are large mechanical pieces of equipment, they can be expected to produce some noise. However, as wind turbine technology has evolved, the sound emitted by wind turbines has decreased. In current designs the mechanical noise is almost obsolete, resulting in only the interaction of the air and the turbine parts producing noise. This noise decreases as the radial distance from the turbine increases. For reference, the compressor of a refrigerator produces 40-45 dB of noise, whereas a wind energy project would have a 1i 168 https://www.naturalforces.ca/burchiI1-wind-project.htm1 12/17 1MVIMU Burchill Wind Project noise level of between 35-45 dB at 350 meters away Check out the Energy Nova Scotia Wind Page for more information). Federal and provincial Jurisdictions esubiisl..rini.�,_um distances from turbines to occupied dwellings to minimize this noise. Does turbine noise have any effect on health? A study done by Health Canada in 2014 investigated the health effects of wind turbine noise. This study found that wind turbine noise was not associated with self-reported sleep, illness or stress levels. The summary of these results can be reviewed on the Health Canada Environmental and Workplace Health page and links to additional studies can be found in the following section. What is shadow flicker? Shadow flicker is created when the sun is at a certain angle behind the turbine. When the sun shines through the blades, the movement of the blades can cause a shadow that flickers on and off as the blades rotate. The Province of New Brunswick has identified specific guidelines for wind turbines that require wind energy projects not to exceed 30 minutes/day or 30 hours/year of shadow flicker at any residence. These guidelines also require that wind energy projects not exceed 40 dB[A] of sound at any residence. How close are the turbines to residential dwellings? The proposed turbines will be set back at least 1.0 km from all cabins and houses. Will you be able to see the turbines from residential dwellings? From existing roadways? The turbines being considered for this project have a maximum height of 205 m to blade tip. Wind turbines have gotten taller over the past few years, allowing them to produce more power and reduces the number of wind turbines needed to meet energy demands. Though these larger turbines are more efficient and reduce the ground disturbance by reducing the amount of turbines needed, they are taller and can be seen from further areas surrounding the project. Photomontages will be completed where photos are taken of local areas and the turbines will be realistically imposed on the photo to provide a general idea of what the landscape will look like once the Project is built. 1i 169 https://www.naturalforces.ca/burchill-wind-project.htmi 13/17 1MVIMU Burchill Wind Project Who will own the land once the project is constructed? The project is proposed on Crown Land owned by the Prop; i i_ce of New While the project is in operation, the land will still be owned by the province. Will any land be expropriated from property owners? No land will be expropriated from landowners. Natural Forces has many operating windfarms on private lands in Nova Scotia. In these cases, the company has developed, over years, a trusted relationship with the landowners and in all instances the land remains in the ownership of the landowner and is leased for the duration of the project. No land has been leased from unwilling landowners. Since the site for the Burchill Energy Project is located on Crown land, there will be no need to lease lands from private landowners. Considering the construction and manufacturing demands, how does a wind farm offset carbon use? According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and considering the emissions produced within the New Brunswick Power energy sector, the Burchill Energy Project is expected to offset the carbon emitted during its life cycle within the first year or two of operations. This will allow at least 28 years of operation to offset additional emissions produced in the New Brunswick electricity sector from fossil fuel emitting sources. What will be the maximum speed at which the turbines can operate before they are `locked down'? At wind speeds above 30 m/s (108 km/h) the turbine blades feather so they do not catch the wind and the hub rotates the blades so they are parallel to the wind direction. This causes the turbine blades to reduce their speed drastically to ensure no damage is done to the turbines. Will there be any employment opportunities for local community members? Yes. There will be many construction jobs created by the Burchill Energy project. These positions will be held by local -subcontractors hired by Natural Forces, which will act as the General Contractor during the construction phase of the project. What will be the impact on the environment? With the new advances in wind turbine technology, the installed capacity of each turbine 1i 170 https://www.naturalforces.ca/burchill-wind-project.htmi 14/17 1MVIMU Burchill Wind Project allows us to use fewer turbines to meet energy demands. By using fewer turbines we are able to reduce the overall project footprint. We will attempt to i.�se as roads onsite to minimize the clearing footprint. Tree clearing for the turbines, roads and collection system is often the main source of environmental impact. Another common environmental concern is avian collision with the moving blades and baurotrama for bats. In Atlantic Canada, wind projects have seen the lowest avian and bat mortality compared to the rest of Canada. In this region, data shows that less than one bird per turbine per year is impacted by wind turbines. When will the environmental studies be available? Consultants are currently working on their field data reports and Natural Forces hopes to have the Environmental Impact Assessment submitted to the Province in February 2020. The environmental studies and EIA document will be made publicly available on this website, the provincial EIA website and a hardcopy will be located in the local community to review. Will the land still be accessible to the public once the Project is operational? The proposed Project resides on Crown land and Natural Forces is not allowed to gate the premises and restrict access. Once constructed, the wind turbines are secure and self contained. Residents will still be able to use the land as they have in the past. Appropriate Project and safety signs will be posted throughout the site. Where do the turbines come from? This depends on the turbine model and manufacturer. In Natural Forces past projects, we've used Enercon turbines which are manufactured in Germany and Portugal and shipped over to a nearby port. Additionally, some concrete tower sections can come from the manufacturing facility in Quebec. https://www.naturalforces.ca/burchill-wind-project.htmi 15/17 12/17/2019 Burchill Wind Project Wind Turbines and Human Health fl Natural Forces thanks everyone who attended the Open House to voice your questions concerns.

Townhouse Development otRiverview Drive, Saint John, NB, The nature uf this request is to present a proposal for approval which includes properties assembled and others to be acquired adjacent to our client's property with a gna[mfdeveloping atownhouse project. A proposed development plan is provided for your consideration along with an elevation plan showing the front elevation ofone ofthe proposed buildings. The development will consist ofathree-unit building and 2 ' four -unit buildings. Each building will be constructed on a separate lot and each townhouse unit will be established on a separate Part Lot sothey can besold separately. Shared access ways will be established overthe various Part Lots and will be defined with right of way limits once as - built conditions are able to be defined, Build -out time is estimated at approximately 3 years although this is dependent on market conditions. The development at build out will see approximate sale values totalling nearly two million dollars, Development of units aWg the existing street is desirable from a fiscal management standpoint as it will utilize infrastructure already in place (street and services), Recently municipal services were upgraded inRiverview Drive and are available toconnect to, The development consists of various parcels now owned by VV and S Holdings or in the process of being acquired through conditional purchase and sale agreements. The land presently owned byour client drops off quickly toward the river and moving the proposed units closer to Riverview Drive is desirable therefore arrangements have been put in place to acquire land from the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure toaccommodate the development. Thearea being acquired is in excess tothat required for highway Vrstreet purposes. As well a portion of an undeveloped street known as Algonquin Place is proposed to be closed and acquired from the City ofSaint John along with two other city owned lots. An easement will be reserved by the city over a portion of Algonquin Place to protect a storm sewer line at that location. Land along this part ofthe river comprises mfsteep bedrock conditions. Access tathe river from the development is not practical. The approvals sought include closure of an undeveloped street, an amendment to the Municipal Plan, rezoning from Park and 2 -unit Residential to Low -Rise Residential for all properties included in the development plan. Subdivision and variance applications are also aspects of the approvals sought.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Brad Adams Narin der Singh Tim O'Reilly Michael Hugenholtz John Collin RECOMMENDATION Common Council approve Community Grants funding to the applicants and amounts as indicated in M&C 2020-73 as submitted by the Community Grants Committee. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Community Grants Program was adopted by Common Council in late 2014 to financially support the operational needs of community organizations, projects and/or special events. A Community Grants Evaluation Committee was created and is now comprised of two community members, two members of Council and three staff. The evaluation process considers community need and social impact of the organization's service, project or event; its history in serving the community; its alignment with council and city priorities, and its organizational strengths and financial responsibility. The Committee's primary task is to review, evaluate and identify funding allocations according to adopted program guidelines and report back to Common Council with recommendations. Detailed in the report below are the award recommendations, as well as several process considerations to improve the application and reporting mechanisms currently in place. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION N/A liRU] -2 - STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT The Community Grant Program supports Common Council's priorities to support opportunities for growth and prosperity and to foster a vibrant city through investment in arts, culture, and recreation experiences that create a sense of community pride. Supporting community management of recreation initiatives is a key recommendation of Play SJ. REPORT There are three categories of community grants including: • Operational Funding Grant, • Community Project Grant, and • Special Events Grant. The purpose, evaluation criteria, and other details about these three categories are included as attachments to this report. The Community Grants Committee reviewed and evaluated 57 grant applications for organizational support, special event and community projects, totaling over $660,383 in funding requests. The Community Grants Committee recommends the following to Common Council: 1. That the following applicants be approved for funding at the indicated amount: Gentle Path Counselling Services $5,000.00 Sophia Recovery Centre $10,000.00 Bee Me Kidz $10,000.00 Saint John Tool Library $5,000.00 Cherry Brook Zoo $15,000.00 Denis Morris Community Centre $6,000.00 Fog Lit Festival $1,500.00 Fundy Gymnastics $2,000.00 Fundy Fringe Festival $5,000.00 Human Development Council $15,000.00 Outflow Ministry $7,500.00 KBM Outing Association $6,000.00 Fundy Region Special Olympics $2,000.00 Latimore Lake Community Centre $6,000.00 Lorneville Community Centre $6,000.00 ARCf de Saint Jean $2,000.00 Martinon Community Centre $6,000.00 Milford Community Centre $6,000.00 NB Competitive Festival of Music $2,000.00 NBYO — Sistema $8,171.00 Saint John and Fundy Seniors Inclusive $5,550.00 `Ple.] -3 - PRUDE Inc $15,000.00 Read SJ $5,000.00 Tee Off for Mental Health $2,000.00 Seniors Resource Centre $6,000.00 Shining Horizons Therapeutic Riding Assoc $10,000.00 SJ Multicultural NRC $10,000.00 That no community grant funding be allocated to the following applicants: The Etsey Art Inititive Inc.

Lily Lake Pavilion Muscular Dystrophy Canada Quality Block Party Thistle Saint -Andrews Curling Club WE Believe Saint John Improvements to the Community Grants Program are planned for future years including an additional $40,000 in funding and consideration of funding requests throughout the year by the Committee. Alignment with other Sustainability items and Continuous Improvement projects will be considered throughout 2020. The Committee has also discussed necessary improvements for future iterations of the program, such as: - Language drafted to clearly state that grants will only be considered by groups or organizations who are not already in receipt of City funding or applying for additional City grants (e.g. Art or Culture grants). - Create more clarity on the costs associated with in-kind support and ensure all applicants be transparent in their evaluation of any and all additional City support needed. - Creation of a reporting template for all recepients to complete prior to re-application or future consideration. This reporting mechanism will ask WIN for proof of spending, event or operational updates and related statistics or metrics. This will become an essential tool to gauge the overall success of the Community Grants program and will add a necessary element of accountability. Continued work with the City's Communication Department to improve official grant agreement forms, parameters around how the City is to be acknowledged and recognized by recipients and the issuing of standard letters of congratulations or regret. Continued work with the City's Communications Department and Information Technology Department to improve Community Grants content available on the City's website including layout, amendment of grant maximums (reduced from $60,000 to $20,000), and improved transparency statements about turn -around period, selection parameters and total sum of funding available. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The 2020 General Fund Operating Budget included a total Community Grant envelope of $ 179,721. On approval by Common Council, the total envelope would be dispersed. The approved budget is less than 30% of the total funding requests.

N&I AIDC f N ATLANTIC REPERTORY COMPANY February 19, 2020 To: The Mayor and Council The City of Saint John From: Stephen Tobias Artistic Director The Atlantic Repertory Company Re: The Wolves at the Saint John Fieldhouse I would first like to thank you all for your support of past SJTC projects. On several occasions over many years we have been pleased to count our municipality among our supporters. These projects have helped the organization grow and develop. Last year, the Saint John Theatre Company (SJTC) launched the Atlantic Repertory Company (ARC) which has been designed to support the development of emerging Atlantic Canadian theatre artists and to create unique and meaningful developmental opportunities for them. In the first year of ARC the company produced No Man Is An Island, an original work based on the history of Irish Immigration via Partridge Island. The ARC also produced a cutting edge new script, Abyss, by Berlin Playwright, Maria Milisavljevic. These plays were directed by Natasha MacLellan (TNB) and Richard Rose (Tarragon Theatre) respectively. Nine emerging theatre artists gained meaningful experience working on this material with leading theatre directors. Several high-school classes attended these events at no cost to the schools or individual students In the fall of 2019, the ARC produced the first major project of the second season, Mary's Wedding. Mary's Wedding was produced at our BMO Studio Theatre, then went on to tour three locations throughout New Brunswick. Following the New Brunswick leg of the trip, the company toured the project to locations in Germany and France — the highlight being a special performance at the Canadian Embassy in Paris as part of the Remembrance Day commemorations. I have enclosed a report on the overall success of that project. The Mary's Wedding project created some amazing experiences for young artists while significantly raising the profile of the ARC and our community. atlanticrep.ca I director@atlanticrep.ca Atlantic Repertory Company 112 Princess Street Saint John, NB E2L 1K4 PIRV AIDC f ATLANTIC REPERTORY COMPANY I would like to now share information about an upcoming project that I hope will be of interest to you. The ARC will offer the NB Premiere of new play, The Wolves, in early May. The Wolves explores the experiences of high school girls through their weekly Saturday morning pre -game soccer warmups. The play was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Featuring 10 female emerging theatre artists and an entirely female creative team, The Wolves will be a signature project for the ARC in 2020. The Wolves will be a centerpiece of our Education Outreach initiatives in the spring of this year as it is an ideal vehicle for launching important discussions related to young women in sports; in theatre; and in life. In the words of the playwright: "I wanted to see a portrait of teenage girls as human beings - as complicated, nuanced, very idiosyncratic people who weren't just girlfriends or sex objects or manic pixie dream girls but who were athletes and daughters and students and scholars and people who were trying actively to figure out who they were in this changing world around them." Sarah DeLappe A unique aspect of The Wolves project is our plan to present the play in a site-specific format on the indoor soccer field in the new Saint John Fieldhouse. Beyond the regular audience, our plan is to invite as many as 1200 - 1600 students over four matinees from high -schools in the greater Saint John region and from as far away as St Stephen and Sussex. We would provide pre -performance study guides for educators, complimentary tickets, and ideally, we would like to support bussing costs to ensure that there is no barrier to attendance. We calculate the cost per student is approximately $50 including bussing. We are also partnering with Soccer New Brunswick to create specialized training for the actors as well as to network the project to youth throughout the region. We will be working with the YMCA in support of their youth/sports programming. I have enclosed a project budget, along with some information about the play. The project study guides are not yet complete so I have enclosed a study guide from the Lincoln Center production. I hope that this gives you an idea of the impact and scope that the project can achieve. atlanticrep.ca I director@atlanticrep.ca Atlantic Repertory Company 112 Princess Street Saint John, NB E2L 1K4 RUN AIDC f ATLANTIC REPERTORY COMPANY Another major aspect of ARC development is the quest to find a permanent home to house the project. The SJTC is currently taking over the Historic County Courthouse property on King Square in Uptown Saint John. The approval for the transfer was granted by Provincial Cabinet on January 16th and Municipal Heritage Board approval for the first phase of exterior work was granted on February 51h Currently the Capital Phase of the project has raised $4.2 million towards an overall $8.0 million budget and our current planning anticipates bringing the new 200 seat facility online by 2022. While this does not speak specifically to this particular request for The Wolves project, I include this to provide a larger context. The intention of the Courthouse development is to create a permanent long-term home for the ARC program. The Wolves project is currently projecting a budgetary shortfall so we are reaching out to stakeholders from throughout the community for assistance. We realize that budgets are tight for the City of Saint John so we have opted not to consider a major request. Im hopeful that the Mayor and Council might have the capacity to consider $2500 contribution to the project. In return for which we would provide a ticket package for all councillors for the May 71h performance and reception. There would also be promotional consideration for the City of Saint John as a Municipal partner of the project. It is my hope that will consider this request and be supportive of our efforts. The ARC is becoming a key piece of cultural infrastructure which will create many opportunities for emerging talent in Atlantic Canada. The projects executed by ARC will help support the entire theatre industry in Southern NB by helping to build a critical mass of talent in our region. The ARC projects are essentially youth oriented, which makes them a perfect fit for the layering on of Education Outreach Initiatives. The Wolves as a project exemplifies these principles. I hope that we might count on your support in achieving our goals. If you have any questions or would like a more detailed account of our activities or the ARC development, I would be happy to meet council privately to give a more detailed update as to our progress. Regards Stephen Tobias Executive Director/Artistic Director The Saint John Theatre Company/Atlantic Repertory Company atlanticrep.ca I director@atlanticrep.ca Atlantic Repertory Company 112 Princess Street Saint John, NB E2L 1K4 P�+"f j AIDC f ATLANTIC REPERTORY COMPANY Ten Reasons why this project could be worthy of your consideration 1) Literacy. The SJTC/ARC have long considered literacy as a focus in the development of Education Outreach initiatives for our theatre projects. Theatre, by definition is an art form requiring and encouraging literacy. Countless articles speak to the impact of theatre on literacy in youth and we support that thinking. This has been the basis of our Classics for the Classroom and our new YOUTHeatre programming. Also: the development of study -guides and other education collateral are designed to encourage further reading by students who attend. 2) Diversity. The Wolves will also be supportive of diversity. When auditions were held in early January over 60 young artists visited the auditions in Halifax and Saint John as well as auditioning via Skype. My instructions to the director, Laura Vingoe-Cram were that the project musty exhibit cultural diversity and regional diversity. Our cast of ten young women features artists representing multiple cultures who come from all regions of Atlantic Canada. We have come to value the importance of young audience members seeing their culture represented on the stage and a key principal of ARC is to be inclusive and encourage diversity 3) Women. We cannot stress enough the value of producing a work that creates meaningful professional engagements for a group of ten young women. This is a very rare occurrence. I was particularly struck during the audition phase as artists repeatedly expressed their profound joy and excitement that they would have an opportunity to work on The Wolves. a. Teenage girls, and particularly all girl experiences, so often get negatively portrayed in stories and the media. The Wolves feels like one of the first plays 1 have seen that shows a more accurate representation of how fun, silly, warm and nuanced teenage girls can be together and away from the male gaze. To be apart of a play about girls not solely as love interest but working physically together as a team, feels very exciting. Franziska Glen Cast Member (Halifax) atlanticrep.ca I director@atlanticrep.ca Atlantic Repertory Company 112 Princess Street Saint John, NB E2L 1K4 K&I AIDC f N ATLANTIC REPERTORY COMPANY b. Getting to work on a professional theatre project with 9 other women in the cast is a rare and amazing opportunity. The Wolves is challenging (and exciting for me) in both its themes and in the physicality and sharpness it asks of its actors. I'm looking forward to digging in to my character, especially the way she navigates a complicated leader/follower dichotomy. Elizabeth Hicks Cast Member (Carbonear, NL) 4) Professional development. Helping the SJTC build a critical mass of theatre professionals in Southern NB. One of the goals of ARC is to create strong experiences here in Saint John for young artists. During their visit we offer city tours and work to integrate them into our community allowing them to build relationships with local theatre makers. The long term goal is to create an environment whereby ARC alumni will develop an affinity with our region. Then, by adding ARC projects to the roster of multiple cultural employment opportunities in Saint John, Fredericton and Moncton, we hope to encourage some of these young artists to choose this region as a place to live and pursue their careers. In past decades, Southern New Brunswick has lacked a critical mass of work to support cultural residency. We are doing our bit to address that. 5) Students: the SJTC/ARC is working with the Anglophone South District in order to support as many as four special student -oriented daytime performance sat the Fieldhouse. Fully successful implementation of all programs would allow for as many as 1600 students to attend this event at no cost to individual students or schools. 6) Bridging a gap. This project offers a unique hybrid event bridging culture and sport. Of itself, The Wolves is a highly unique play in its depiction of young women sports on the stage. By choosing to present this work on the indoor soccer field in the new Saint John Fieldhouse, the venue adds to that cross-cultural aspect to the project. 7) The Fieldhouse. Supporting this project will also raise the profile and support the success of the Saint John Fieldhouse. As I first met with Bill MacMackin on this idea, his enthusiasm was encouraging. As he said, he had imagined many kinds of events at the facility, but he never dreamed it could house a theatre production. The Fieldhouse, The YMCA and the SJTC/ARC will be working together to support the success of this project as a means to raise the profile of the new facility and encourage a broader demographic to attend an event there. atlanticrep.ca I director@atlanticrep.ca Atlantic Repertory Company 112 Princess Street Saint John, NB E2L 1K4 K091 AIDC f ATLANTIC REPERTORY COMPANY 8) Cultural Infrastructure. Supporting the development of ARC supports the development of new and vitally important physical infrastructure in Southern NB. As stated elsewhere, the County Courthouse on Kings Square in saint John is currently under development to serve as a home for future ARC projects. However, this 200 seat theatre production facility will fill a gap in our cultural inventory by complimenting the 900 Seat Imperial theatre and the 100 seat BMO Studio Theatre (owned by the SJTC) This enhanced infrastructure will serve other arts organizations locally and throughout NB as they consider touring into the Greater Saint John region with projects which may not be large enough to justify the use of Imperial Theatre. A successful ARC supports the success of this important cultural infrastructure project. 9) Regional Impact. ARC projects are designed to build regional networks. Historically, theatre in southern NB was aligned very closely with the Toronto Theatre Industry. The ARC is specific in the goal of working with artists from throughout Atlantic Canada. Our goal is to create a new theatre network that connects theatre artists from all four Maritime provinces. The intention is to treat ARC artists as alumni maintaining connections over the long term. As we foster those relationships we plan to develop regional touring networks and production co -producers in other regions which can build greater overall capacity. 10) Fun: The Wolves will be a unique theatre production that will be very enjoyable for you to attend. I hope that, regardless of the level of support, the entire council will attend. atlanticrep.ca I director@atlanticrep.ca Atlantic Repertory Company 112 Princess Street Saint John, NB E2L 1K4 PM 11 ABOUT THE PLAY: Building on momentum established in its inaugural season, the Atlantic Repertory Company (ARC) entered its second year with a moving Canadian production and a European tour. "In short, if you miss this production, you will be missing out on a wonderful theatrical experience." - James McClure, (reviewer) Mary's Wedding, written by renowned Canadian playwright Stephen Massicotte, is a stirring memorial to both the Great War and great love. The play is a love story set against the backdrop of World War I. On the eve of her wedding Mary dreams of Charlie, her first love. Set in Western Canada, Mary's Wedding is the story of a recent English immigrant to Canada and a young farmer's romance that unfolds through a series of dreamlike memories, punctuated by the innocence of new love, the courage of youth and the cruelty of fate. Two powerful performers were selected to play the roles of Mary and Charlie. Caroline Bell (Quispamsis, NB), a recent graduate of George Brown's Theatre Performance Program, portrayed Mary, while Kenzie Delo (Dartmouth, NS), a graduate from the Fountain School of Performing Arts and the National Theatre School of Canada, played the role of Charlie. The rest of the team included: Stephen Tobias (Director), Patricia Vinluan (Stage Manager), Anthony Allen (Technical Director), Brian Goodwin (Production Manager), Peter Smith (Lighting Design), Brenda McLeese (Costume Design), Jordan Lloyd Watkins (Projection Design) and Thomas Ryder Payne (Sound Design). ABOUTARC: ARC, a professional theatre residency program recently launched by the Saint John Theatre Company, is currently in the second phase of a three-year pilot project. The program is designed to provide working opportunities for young theatre professionals with ties to Atlantic Canada. THETOUR: Mary's Wedding opened at the BMO Studio Theatre in Saint John followed by performances in Sussex, St Andrews and Fredericton. Local activities & outreach included: • Training session at Shining Horizons riding therapy association, a community partner. • A special preview night performance and reception for close to 50 supporters of ARC. • Two free student matinee performances allowing over 130 students from three local high school to take in the show. • Blocks of complimentary tickets provided to SRHS (Sussex) students to attend the evening performance in their community. "Gaining new ideas and expanding our scope of understanding via travel and cultural exchange is the most efficient way to spur organizational evolution. The ARC program is an ideal vehicle for international outreach. It allows us to showcase incredible emerging Canadian talent while giving these emerging artists unique and amazing experiences." - Stephen Tobias, (Artistic Director, ARC) In addition to the Provincial tour, the team was invited to perform Mary's Wedding at Theater Konstanz in Konstanz Germany that same Fall. The tour was then expanded to include theatres in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany as well as to offer a special performance at the Canadian Embassy in Paris, France.

The Wolves is the story of a high school girls' indoor soccer team as they warm up for a series of games. Sarah DeLappe has written a muscular, lyrical play that will toss students into the chaos of teenage self-discovery. The Wolves provides students an opportunity to learn about world and personal politics, as well as to reflect on social pressure, loss, and the challenges involved in forging a personal identity and being a part of a team. The Wolves offers many learning opportunities for students in areas related to: * the work of Sarah DeLappe, a Pulitzer -Prize nominated playwright; * a thematic exploration of friendship, community, power, politics, individuality and loss; and e identifying personal issues and universal themes in the play and its performance. W TO USE THIS GUIDE This resource guide has been created to help prepare your students to see The Wolves. We hope to direct you to resources that can further your classroom exploration of the play. We encourage you to download and share pages of this guide with your students. In each section, look for resources, including links to materials and videos available online, as well as discussion questions and suggested classroom activities that you can use before or after seeing the production. The overall goals of this guide are to: e connect to your curriculum with standards-based information and activities; 0 engage your students critical and analytical thinking skills; and 0 provide you with the tools to have an engaging and educational experience at the theater. THE LAS ca hcr' Rcsotl.0 e Qiidc 273 111tr-ochi tioY1 ( Page I W 11 O ° j,� o a o � RLAY Synopsis In this contemporary slice -of -life play, The Wolves, a girls' indoor soccer team, practice drills as they prepare for a succession of games. As they warm up and talk about life, the girls navigate the politics of their personal lives as well as the politics of the larger world, gossiping about things like war, menstrual products, genocide, sports, pop culture, and their relationships. Each team member struggles to negotiate her individuality while being a part of a group. They bond over a bag of orange slices and personal traumas. The team seems as if it may disband after the sudden death of one of the girls, but they manage to come together. In the end, the surviving team players pre- pare to play yet another game together — closer, stronger, wiser, and fiercer.

An Interview with Sarah DeLappe g Where did the play come from? g I played soccer and other sports as a kid, but I never played at the elite level as the girls who are on the g Wolves. I quit when I was fourteen so I could do theater and act in plays. They didn't have a soccer team at g my high school so, in a way, this is wish fulfillment: I got to write about the team that I was never a part of in high school. g A couple of summers ago, I went to an exhibit at The New Museum that was a survey of contemporary art g from the Middle East and North Africa. g I was walking around and watching all of these metropolitan New Yorkers look at their iPhones in the middle g of this incredibly affecting art about suicide bombings, and Syria, and the civil war in Lebanon, and then go g back to drinking cold brew or talking about what they were doing that weekend. They would say something g intelligent about the art and then just move quickly along with the rest of their life. There was something g about the obvious gap in the experience of these people and the world that they were consuming briefly that g made me think, "What could be further away than a bunch of suburban girls on an indoor soccer field warm- ing up for a soccer game?" THE WOLVES ` caciier ResoLuce Qiide 277 ( Pae 5 ..................................................................................................................................� On the subway on the way back to my apartment, I started writing the first scene of the play. At the time, I didn't know it was [the first scene] - it was just two simultaneous conversations, one about the Khmer Rouge and one about the efficacy of tampons or pads. While I was writing it, I quickly began thinking of it as a war movie. But instead of a bunch of men who are going into battle, you have a bunch g of young women who are preparing for their soccer games. g................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Why did you choose to identify the characters by their numbers and not their names? I wanted the characters to exist only as members of the team on the turf. This is the only place where they are athletes, first and foremost. I was interested in creating a world where teenage girls could define themselves, as opposed to being defined by parents or boyfriends or the male gaze. They get to set the rules, but they're also moving through this simultaneous, synchronized warm up, physically moving as one organism. Each of them existing as a number is related to the idea of them moving and existing as one organism on the field. g a ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... How long did it take you to write the play? It was fast. The first draft was written in three weeks, a month. I spent at least two years refining it through a series of workshops, but seventy-five percent of the first draft is still intact. My changes are probably unnoticeable to the naked eye. I heard each of the nine voices orchestrally, so there would be a moment when I could just intuitively feel that we needed more piccolo here, or more cello here. f POP 1� � 1 g g g r.j J . g i me m g Courtesy New Museum, New York.

My ideal collaborators are a lot of the people I've gotten to work with on The Wolves. Lila is an incredible director, fiercely intelligent and rigorous and generous to every single person involved with the process. She really understands these characters, and she really understands actors. Working with all of the de- signers and the actors is amazing. I had an idea of things going into it, but their vision, talent and skill exceeded any of my expectations. That's what's so great about theater. When you write a play it's just a blueprint for a production. You're one member of this very large team that's hopefully going to create an extraordinary event. g ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... What are the questions that you want people to be thinking about when they watch the play? The play has a certain `choose-your-own-adventure' aspect to it because there's so much overlapping dialogue and so much action. I hope that the audience doesn't catch every single word or every single moment of the play. In a way, you're a fly-on-the-wall. I want the audience to be wondering who each of g these girls are as they slowly reveal themselves over the course of the play. g................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Where do you like to write? I write in my apartment at my desk. I like to write where it's quiet. I can't write in a library or a coffee shop because I need the silence to feel like I can hear my own thoughts.

The director is responsible for the artistic stewardship and the practical management of the production process. I function as part curator, part team leader, part manager, part facilitator, part acting coach, and part guru. My job is to control space and time. [They] are the mediums in which theater operates. I am technically responsible for every element that inhabits both space and time... material realities, intangible realities, emo- tional realities, and aesthetic realities. In the case of a new play, I'm helping the writer to `find the play' for the first time. Another part of my job involves interfacing with the institutions at which I work, so I'm also managing more practical, production oriented aspects of the enterprise that have to happen for the ship to keep sailing. .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ...... Is there a difference in approach when directing a new play like The Wolves versus a classic play that has been produced and directed many times? I try to discourage myself from making any kinds of assumptions. This is especially vital when you're working on a new play: you can't have a received idea of what it is because it has never existed before. I think there is a heightened kind of elasticity, agility, and openness required in a new play process because you are collabo- rating with the writer to discover what the play is through the first production. I take the stakes of the first production of a new play very seriously. ....................................................................................................................................

We have a meeting with the ad agency where our Producing Artistic Director, Andre Bishop, will discuss the nature of the play. Everyone will have read the play and we have a long discussion about the themes, what theproduction will be like, the history of it, and the context. The ad agency creates a dozen to three dozen different poster options for us to consider. They present them to us and we narrow them down. We share the narrowed down options with the author and director for their input and then we eventually come down to the one. If we're lucky, it feels like it's always been inevitable that the image we've chosen is the right one. In the case of The Wolves, I think the art feels right for the show. Graphically, we came up with a tangle of women's bodies playing soccer and it's all this one color blue. These women are not delicate. I think we're getting across the message that these are strong, powerful young women on this team; all together, but all individuals who become this entity that is the Wolves. We didn't want anything pink, we didn't want anything girly, we wanted it to be strong. We thought it was a clean way to make it about soccer but not with a green field and a soccer ball. We wanted it to be about the women and the powerful nature of these women.

The Cambodian #11: but it's like he's old #25: he murdered 1000s of people The Wolves begins with a lengthy discus- sion about war and genocide, kicked off by #11. In keeping with the playwright's desire to contrast conversation that is pro- found and prosaic, the girls puzzle over ethical questions about the Khmer Rouge, while simultaneously debating the efficacy of tampons over sanitary pads. New Kampuchean arrivals waiting for medical checkup before entering holding camp set up by UN High Commissioner for Refugees with the aid of UNICEF and International Red Cross relief workers. UN Photo by Saw Lwin Cambodia is a former French colony in Asia. It gained its independence in 1953. Because it shares a border with Vietnam, Cambodia was drawn into the Vietnam War, causing instability in the region. This instability led to the Cambodian Civil War, a conflict between the Khmer Rouge political party and its allies, and the Kingdom of Cambodia, the ruling political party. The Khmer Rouge overthrew the Kingdom of Cambodia, or the Khmer Republic, and installed a totalitarian regime in Cambodia that it called Democratic Kampuchea. Pol Pot, a former schoolteacher, became the leader of Cambodia in 1975 and has been described as a genocid- al tyrant. The Khmer Rouge and its leaders, Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Son Sen, and Khieu Samphan, are responsible for the Cambodian genocide which occurred from 1975 until 1978. Under the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia was isolated from all foreign influences. Schools, hospitals, and factories were closed as citizens were forced into work camps. The guards at the work camps were mostly teenagers from rural, agricultural backgrounds. Inspired by Mao Zedong, who led the Cultural Revolution of Communist China, the Khmer Rouge insisted on self-sufficiency and an agrarian society. The regime forced millions of Cambodians to become farmers, including those who had no experience in agriculture. Lack of knowledge about farming led to famine and death for millions of Cambodians. In addition to starvation, work exhaustion, and lack of treatment for treatable illnesses, millions of Cambodians were executed due to the government's social engineering policies and intolerance of perceived subver- sive elements. The genocide was estimated to have claimed between 1.4 million and 2.2 million lives, half due to executions and the other half from starvation and disease. THE LUES ` cap firer Resotl.0 e Qiide 284 ( Pae 12 The Khmer Rouge government and the Cambodian genocide officially ended when Vietnam won the Cambodi- an -Vietnamese War in 1991, but fighting by the Khmer Rouge did not truly end until the mid-1990s. In 2014, two Khmer Rouge leaders, Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan, were found guilty by the United Nations of crimes against humanity and being responsible for the death of up to two million Cambodians. Pol Pot, and other leaders of the Khmer Rouge, died before they could be brought to justice for their crimes. Discussiloin Questions: What relationships may be drawn between war and sports?

Some of the children who come the U.S. have family waiting for them, others do not. Under current law, the U.S. Border Patrol is required to take child migrants, with the exception of those from Mexico, into custody and transfer them to the Office of Refugee Resettlement which reviews their cases.

Title IX became federal law under the Education Amendments Act of 1972. It states that, "No per- son in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Feder- al financial assistance." Girls playing soccer by Sarah Jones THE WOLVES leacher RcsoLuce Qiide 286 ( Page I Under Title IX, women and men are required to receive equal opportunities to participate in sports. In order to re- ceive federal funding, schools and universities have to make their programs for young women on par with those for young men. After Title IX was enacted, women suddenly received access to supplies, facilities, training, and sports scholarships that had previously been denied to them. Title IX paved the way for the explosion of female soccer teams and female participation in amateur and professional soccer. In addition to sports, Title IX opened the door for girls and women to receive more opportunities in math and science. The law also protects students against bullying and sexual harassment. https://ny.pbslearningmedia. org/resource/01875Ob9-33e6-4dbO-b877-2b3Obf664c26/title-ix-and-the-edu- cation-amendments-of-1972/#.WcWTRK3Mzrc http://www.titleix.info http://www ncaa.org/about/resources/inclusion/title-ix-frequently-asked-questions THE WOLVES ` cachcr' RcsoLuce Qiide 287 ( Pae 15 THE WOLVES Tcachcr Rcsourcc Guidc 288 1 Pa gc 16 g.........................................................................................................................................a Women in Contemporary American 'Theater g III::) Iii Uu i I III . � .0 ��.�:� �. a g IIrnIlii Iii Ilii .III° g Uheabre feeIIIs a htde III Id IIS Ii i IIk)IIS aIII warIriqIkng III IIrn e a n, gWhy are we ilii III III havlkng Utisdscuik. Ilii Marsha N o ring ire g Lincoln Center Theater's production of The Wolves is special for many reasons, including that it has an entirely female g cast of characters, and was written and directed by women. Even in 2017, this is a rarity in the American theater. g The degree to which men have historically dominated the American theater has been documented in study after study, g including the StageSource Gender Parity Task Force study in 2013-2014. One of their key findings was that men out- number women by at least 2 to 1 in the fields of directing, playwrighting, scenic design, lighting design, sound design, gprojection design, and music direction. According to The Broadway League's report, Demographics of the Broadway g Audience 2015-2016, women make up 67% of all Broadway audiences. So, what gives? g The question of why women playwrights remain underrepresented in the American theater is a complicated one, g rooted in the discrimination women still face in the broader culture. Title IX does not apply to the artistic choices g theater institutions make. Theaters are not required by law to produce male and female playwrights equally, nor are g they required to hire female directors. g Often, these issues trickle down from Broadway to plays per- formed in schools. The Educational Theater Association's 2016 survey found that most of the top 10 plays and musicals per- g formed in schools across the country were created by predomi- nantlywhite men. Another question is: what can be done about this problem? q iuuuuuuuuuui llll�l��,,, Much advocacy work has been and continues to be done to The xilroys g produce the work of female playwrights. g One such advocacy group is The Kilroys. Founded in 2013, this collective of women in theater have dedicated g themselves to increasing the visibility of female playwrights. Every year, they release a list of plays written by fe- male-identified individuals that is compiled by consulting a diverse range of theater professionals. Theaters and g schools can consult the list as a resource when making decisions about what plays to produce. g .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

THE WOLVES Ie adier RcsoLucc Qiidc 289 ( Pagc° 17 AircllietypesreaflVeW imii[Liiiiil°Iliii uii°Iy Playwright Sarah DeLappe works from archetypes, using them as a way to generate characters in her plays. An archetype is a typical example of a certain kind of person or thing. Discuss the following archetypes with students, deciding what qualities they possess and having students provide examples of each from literature and film: The Innocent, The Rebel, The Hero, The Explorer, The Jester. Have students create specific characters based on each archetype that was discussed as a class: • What is their favorite object? • What do they like to eat for a snack? • What do they wear on a regular day? • What do they wear for a special day? • What is their favorite song? • They send a text. Who do they send it to? Once students have answered these questions for each archetype, have students pick two of their invented characters and write a scene for them, incorporating as many of the details generated from their lists as they can.

One player starts by pantomiming a ball and throwing it along with a word that begins with A to another player. As fast as possible, that player throws a word that begins with B to someone else. Continue this way until the circle gets through the entire alphabet. Students can signal that they have already received the ball by holding their hands behind their back. Add a time constraint by encouraging students to get through the alphabet in two minutes — or less. Each student is responsible for coming up with their own word without help from the group. You can divide students into two circles, giving each circle a team name. The two circles can compete to see which one can get to Z first. After students have done the exercise, discuss the following: • How difficult was it to play this game with others? • What did we learn about team dynamics doing this exercise? 11111 III d Illlll iiim iiirketiiiii twUV[ty Marketing departments often create marketing campaigns well before they see the play in performance. Based on conversations with the artistic director, playwright and director, marketing departments work with advertising agencies to produce an image that will capture the "spirit" of the play and the production. Based on the words listed below, or your own list, have students create a collage using images from maga- zines or the internet. Once students have created their collage, they can share it with the rest of the class, explaining the choices they made and how the collage relates to the words from their list. • Soccer a Girls (not girly) a Strength • Community a Fierce a Intensity • Adolescence a Aggression i Write down words that relate to each character based on what they say and what others say about them on the character chart.

How do they feel about the other members of the team? What might be going on in their lives that they are unwilling to share with their team members? What are their lives like when they are not on the field? After you have written diary entries for these characters, have students write a dramatic scene for them that takes place off the soccer field. What is the difference between a friend and teammate? Which team members appear to be friends? How do we know? What is the role of friendship in the play? In what ways is friendship a source of stress for the girls? All of the girls in the play wear the same uniform and their names are not revealed. What details does the playwright include that help the audience differentiate between each girl? How did the actors distinguish themselves? Is there a main character, or main couple of characters, in The Wolves, and if so, who is it/who are they? Is there a major conflict in the play? What is each character struggling with? Which conflicts, or problems, remain unresolved by the end of the play? What is the dramatic effect of leaving certain conflicts unre- solved? How would you describe the relationships between the girls on the team? Based on what the team players say, what are the teams strengths? What might be the teams weaknesses?

Box 1971 Saint John, New Brunswick E21- 41-1 Re: Integrated Bilateral Agreement Dear Mr. Mayor. rR -EE CTE i v F n f 0 7 MAR 0 6 2020 9 --------------- I want to thank you for your interest in the Integrated Bilateral Agreement (IBA) funding. The Regional Development Corporation had a strong response to the first call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) under the IBA, receiving 163 submissions for infrastructure projects. All EOIs have been reviewed to ensure that they meet the required immediate outcomes of the IBA. Each project was evaluated by our multi -disciplinary team following a consistent and objective methodology. Given limited budget capacity, it was determined that water and wastewater projects would receive priority at this time, with a focus on projects that had identified public health issues. Thus, we consulted the specialists in the Departments of Environment and Local Government and Health. Following the evaluation, each project was included in one of four categories. Appendix A contains important information as well as the evaluation results for your submission(s) and an explanation of each category. I do not anticipate another call for interest for funding this year, however, your EOI will be kept open for future consideration. Should any details regarding your EOI change and you wish to bring it to the attention of the Regional Development Corporation, please contact us at (506) 453-2277. 1 appreciate the work that has gone into preparing your EOI and wish you the best in the completion of your infrastructure project(s).
