Mask bylaw raising anger, confusion By Tristan Marks NewsNow Some may have heard of issues, others may have seen a confrontation first-hand, but incidents and tension regarding mandatory mask use in enclosed public-access spaces seems to be on the rise. “Many business operators have called or emailed me in the last 10 days looking for clarification of the Niagara Region’s mask bylaw,” said Mike Williscraft, president of Grimsby Downtown Improvement Area (DIA) Board. “The issue is not the merits of the bylaw but enforcement, which the Region has put on the shoulders of each individual business. Residents have also called after seeing a customer ream out an employee who does nothing more than remind that customer a mask is mandatory.” A key point of the issue is the exemption which the Region included for those with a health exemption, or age. In an email to Niagara Region medical officer of health, Dr. Mustafa Hirji, Williscraft explained how the implementation of the bylaw is impacting businesses day-to-day. “There are stores not allowing patrons in with no mask, no exceptions. It causes great harm and stress for them to do this, but with staff being left as the front-line enforcement, they have had to ban all, as staff have refused to serve people, and other customers who were wearing masks have dropped items in-hand and left stores when they see another customer with no mask,” noted Williscraft. “The question remains, are business owners entitled by the bylaw to bar anyone from entering their premises? It does not seem so from reading the bylaw. The bylaw appears to sidestep taking that responsibility and hand it to business owners and their staff.” Hirji said the interpretation of the bylaw is not a health department concern. “I appreciate the challenge. These are legal questions concerning interpretation of the bylaw, not See MASKS, Page 3

Vagaries of time and vandalism Caistor Baptist Church to be torn down By Joanne McDonald NewsNow It’s been some time since an Alleluia rang out from the sanctuary of the Caistor Baptist Church. A once integral part of the community since it was built in 1864, the church was officially closed and transferred to the Township of West Lincoln in 2014, is
structurally unsafe, and slated to be torn down this year. It’s one of about 9,000 churches in Canada that will be lost in the next decade, roughly a third of all faith-owned buildings to be shuttered, sold off or demolished. But thanks to Debbie De Vries, residents of West Lincoln, a Town-
ship bustling with new growth and development, can be reminded of the life force that once flowed through the iconic little country church. “I don’t want it to die a sad quiet death, but if it has to be so, then let it be with dignity,” said De Vries, shocked and heartbroken over vandalism that desecrated
the building interior this summer. Researching the church history, she wants to see the mess cleaned up out of respect and some of the religious items put into hands where they will be valued and preserved. De Vries had the biggest shock in late May See CHURCH, Page 6

From Page 1 “health questions. As I am a public health professional and not a lawyer, it’s not within my expertise to answer these questions,” said Hirji. “I recommend (businesses) consult with a lawyer who has expertise in municipal law, and that stores who are unsure of their rights similarly seek legal advice on what they are legally permitted to do.” Williscraft noted, while legal definitions are to be appreciated, the overall situation creates a public relations nightmare for businesses. “Everybody wants to do the right thing. Everybody wants to keep staff, customers and the public safe. However, businesses are trying to do everything possible to encourage people to come out of their homes and into their stores,” said Williscraft. “You have people on social media taking shots at businesses for enforcing the bylaws and these attacks - no matter how off-base - have a way of taking root. Nobody can afford that in this climate.” Tuesday morning, Donna Gibbs, Niagara Region’s director, legal and court services attempted to clarify the Region’s view. “Similar to numerous face covering by-laws across Ontario, the Region’s by-law imposes a requirement for individuals to wear a face covering in enclosed public spaces, subject to certain exemptions based on health, age etc., and requires businesses to have a face-covering policy, in the interests of reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the community,” wrote Gibbs in an email. “We certainly recognize that the implementation of the face-covering by-law, in addition to the
other requirements imposed on businesses by the Province/other regulatory authorities in response to COVID-19, does require a careful consideration of the rights and responsibilities of businesses in relation to their employees (such as the Occupational Health and Safety Act) and their customers/ clients (such as the Ontario Human Rights Code). Unfortunately as legal counsel for the Region, I am not able to give specific legal advice to members of the public or private businesses, but would encourage businesses to seek their own legal advice if they have questions in that regard or need legal support to develop their operational plans in response to COVID-19.” Gibbs included information for the Law Society of Ontario’s Lawyer Referral Service, which can refer individuals to a lawyer who will provide up to 30 minutes of free legal advice. Any business requiring this service can contact Williscraft at: mike@wn3.ca Daryl Barnhardt, executive officer to the Regional Chair, Jim Bradley, outlined his comments to inquiries he has received. “Private establishments are able to choose with whom they conduct business,” said Barnhardt. The by-law passed by regional council requires businesses to have a policy that mandates a face covering. Moreover, our by-law also outlines exemptions for medical reasons (proof is not required), as well as a list of other exemptions. That said, if a business takes a “no exceptions” stance on the issue, then that is that particular business’ policy and the Region has no involvement in providing “back up”.

Why call a Mortgage Broker for your next mortgage?
Protect their future The right life insurance policy can help you prepare for your family’s financial needs and provide for them no matter what the future holds.

A mortgage broker provides you with mortgage solutions that are competitive to what your bank or credit union can offer you; The difference though, is that mortgage brokers are not bank-employees, so you will not be offered a “one-size-fits-all” solution. I represent the major financial institutions, including our local credit unions, and about 20 other mortgage companies you’ve probably never heard of - only because they do not offer retail banking outlets. An example of how these non-bank lenders differentiate themselves is in what income types they will consider, such as the Child Tax Benefit, ODSP income, income from boarders/family members, and unreported self-employment income. I specialize in providing mortgage solutions for challenging circumstances, including: - the payment of property tax arrears and income tax arrears - the early repayment of a consumer proposal - a spousal buyout for the purpose of a marital separation if one spouse wishes to keep the family home - self-employed borrowers who do not show sufficient tax-return income to qualify, but who can show business bank statement deposits as evidence of cash-flow - homeowners who are facing power-of-sale or foreclosure from their existing mortgage lender - homeowners who are saddled with other non-mortgage debt, and who have been advised that bankruptcy is the only solution If you feel that your financial institution has let you down, I invite you to call me for a complimentary mortgage consultation. I look forward to this opportunity to earn your trust and your business. Thinking “outside the Bank” for a change.

You are invited to a Public Open House Applications have been received by the Town of Grimsby for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment, for the lands known as 4 Windward Drive (see key map below). The proposed development: • Phase 1 will consist of the construction of a new 19 storey apartment building with 212 dwelling units, ground floor retail/restaurant commercial space, and a new hotel with conference and banquet facilities on the footprint of the existing surface parking lot on the subject lands. • Phase 2 will involve the demolition of the existing hotel, and the construction of a new 12 storey apartment building with 208 dwelling units and ground floor retail commercial space. • An approximately 1,500 square metre outdoor park area is proposed to be located immediately adjacent to Winston Road in front of the building that comprises Phase 2. • A total of 909 parking spaces will be contained within three levels of underground parking.

The purpose and effect of the proposed official plan amendment is to permit an increase in height from 12 storeys to 19 storeys, and an increase in maximum permitted density from 3 times the lot area to 4.73 times the lot area. The purpose and effect of the proposed zoning by-law amendment is to change the current Key map of the subject lands zoning from ND Neighbourhood Development to Mixed Use High Density with modified performance standards to parking, minimum front yard, minimum exterior side yard, minimum rear yard and maximum building height to allow the proposed development. The Town of Grimsby will be hosting a Public Open House to explain the proposed development. An open house meeting is typically held shortly after the Town receives a development application, at the beginning of the review process. Town Staff have not reviewed the application yet, and are still awaiting comments and analysis from other departments and agencies, as well as comments from the public. Therefore, there have been no decisions made about the proposed development yet. The purpose of the open house meeting is for Town Staff and the applicant to: inform you about the proposed development; inform you about planning process to follow; answer your questions; and hear your comments. The open house meeting will be held as follows: Date: September 24, 2020 VIA ZOOM Time: 6:00 p.m. “The Open House meeting will be available at: https://vimeo.com/grimsbycouncilchambers. If you would like to appear as a delegation and speak to the application, please register with Nancy Simon, nsimon@grimsby.ca on or before September 18th, 2020 by noon. Please note: only those who register to speak as a delegation will be provided the Zoom link.” This meeting will also be livestreamed and recorded for later viewing at https://www.grimsby.ca/councilstream/ Additional information regarding the applications, including appeal rights, is available on the Town’s website at www.grimsby.ca/currentplanningapplications, at Town Hall during normal business hours (8:30 to 4:30), or you may contact: Town of Grimsby, Planning Department, P.O. Box 159, 160 Livingston Avenue, Grimsby, Ontario. L3M 4G3. Telephone: (905) 945-9634, Fax: (905) 945-5010, Email: planning@grimsby.ca At a subsequent meeting, and following a staff review of the application, a formal Public Meeting will be held. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Town of Grimsby in respect of the proposed official plan and zoning by-law amendment before the approval authority gives or refuses to give approval to the official plan and zoning by-law amendment, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Town of Grimsby to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Town of Grimsby in respect of the proposed official plan and zoning by-law amendment before the approval authority gives or refuses to give approval to the proposed official plan and zoning by-law amendment, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Nelles Manor finishes “quiet” season with eyes on future Labour Day has passed, marking the official end of the Nelles Manor Museum House’s 2020 season. This year was marked by the COVID-19 closure and low traffic even after the museum re-opened. “It was quiet,” said museum director Bill Thompson. “We only had a few people each week.” Additionally, no further public events have been scheduled for the rest of the year. “Everything is still up in the air with COVID,” said museum summer student Rebekah Bronowicki. “We’re waiting to see what will happen with regulations from the government.” Thompson noted that with everything going on, the museum ended up losing revenue by

operating after the closure. “However, we felt it was necessary to keep a presence,” said Thompson. “We were also very fortunate to get Rebekah this year.” Thanks to the Young Canada Works program, Nelles Manor was able to hire Bronowicki for the summer through a grant. She not only guided tours during the final months of the season, but, as Thompson explained, was busy planning for future events in 2021 and beyond. These include school tours, Victorian teas, murder mystery events and much more. To help support Nelles Manor, consider donating or join the “Friends of the Manor”. Visit nellesmanor.ca for details.
Support CCWN through the annual Lions Club Food Drive on Sept. 19 The 31st annual Lions Food Drive is just around the corner. Volunteers will go front porch to front porch starting at 8 a.m. on Sept. 19, gathering food and supply donations for Community Care of West Niagara (CCWN). Sorting will be done at Great Lakes Christian High School. There will also be a contactless drivethrough drop off at the Lincoln Community Centre 9 to 11 a.m. All of this is timely for CCWN, which has seen a 70% decrease in donations over the course of the COVID pandemic. This year’s donation “wishlist” includes, but is not limited to: • Salmon, sardines and canned fish; • Chunky & cream soups; • Condiments, sauces; • Cereal, cookies and

crackers; • Regular tea, instant coffee, juice boxes; • Small bags of flour, sugar, brown sugar; • And toiletries. CCWN and the Lions are also looking for ‘street captains’ to help raise awareness for the event in their neighbourhood and perhaps collect food from their
street to help pick-up volunteers finish their job smoothly and safely. As a COVID precaution, collection volunteers are expected to work on their own or with members of their social circle. Those looking to volunteer can sign up at communitycarewn.ca on the ‘Events’ page.

WL ARCHIVES The West Lincoln Historical Society is gathering information regarding all of the churches in the area that are no longer serving the community. “It is the history of our Township and if not recorded it is going to die and be missed,” said Joan Martin, coordinator of archives. “If anyone has information we would appreciate it.” The Smithville Train Station is home to the archives, a treasure trove of the Township’s past that is quite literally bulging out of the basement doors.

Debbie De Vries reads the inscriptions on gravestones at the Caistor Baptist Church Cemetery. McDonald - Photo welcomes any help. “That’s our job here, preserving the history of the Township,” Martin said. CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP The Township took over the Caistor Baptist Church approximately six years ago from the local congregation. “Similar to most private cemeteries, the previous owners approached the Township to take over the cemetery, however, in this circumstance the church was included in the transfer by the local congregation,” said West Lincoln planner Gerrit Boerema. The property will continue to be used for a cemetery maintained by the Township. “The church was in poor condition at the time of transfer and it would have taken a considerable amount of money to get it back up to a useable condition,” Boerema said. The Township is preparing to demolish the church this year as it has become unsafe. “As it is unsafe we cannot allow members of the public within the building,” Boerema said.
Boerema said the pews have been removed from the church and are being sold to raise funds for the West Lincoln Heritage Committee to install a plaque on the property commemorating the church. Also, some of the Bibles and hymn books are currently with the West Lincoln Historical Society. “There has been direct and regular contact with both of these groups as the Township has navigated this process. There are still seven pews left for purchase for those that may be interested,” Boerema said. “Regarding the concern about vandalism, it is our understanding that someone may have gained unauthorized access to the church recently and have defaced it. It has since been resecured,” Boerema said in an August 14 email. As of September 5, it was reported the church was unlocked. One of the front door knobs was missing and the doors were open. “Insult to injury,” said De Vries. “The front door is still open.”

Town of Lincoln considers new citizen advisory committee for museum to ensure it moves along as smoothly as it can.” Coun. Paul MacPherson requested an update on the timeline of the museum’s construction. CAO Michael Kirkopoulos said that the goal for completion is “definitely” for sometime in October or November, although director of Community Services Shannon McKay noted delays. “It’s hit or miss on where we’re still experiencing delays in supplies and materials, but we will have this finished before the end of the year,” said McKay.

Have a GREAT school year!
Back To School Means
MORE CHILDREN WALKING & BIKING ON OUR ROADS School days bring congestion: Yellow school buses are picking up their charges, kids on bikes are hurrying to get to school before the bell rings, hurried parents are trying to drop their kids off before work. It’s never more important for drivers to slow down and pay attention then when kids are present - especially before and after school.

BLEZARD, Leonard William Leonard William Blezard, a lifelong Beamsville resident died Wednesday, August 19, 2020 at age 83. Len’s career was that of an accomplished fruit farmer, the steward of many properties. Len enjoyed the outdoors, snowmobiling and boating as well as traveling, so much so that at one time he owned two cottages in Ontario and real estate in venues to which he would travel. Property on a Caribbean island and a condominium in Acapulco later caught his fancy. Len battled his health issues, principally respiratory and heart issues, soldiering through to the end. He was committed to the residents of Niagara having access to appropriate health care centers and in lieu of flowers, please consider donations in Len’s name to the West Lincoln Memorial Foundation.

Clear as mud In the end, it took about 20 emails to get to the point of no point, really, other than to be referred on to seek a legal opinion for any business operator who wants to know what they can or should do regarding Niagara Region’s mask bylaw. As I noted a few weeks ago, some soft wording and seemingly purposeful lack of clarity at points has done nothing but lead to confusion for many. It is easy to understand why this is all happening, and it is difficult to place any blame - if any were merited - as nobody has 100 per cent correct answers in this COVID-19 mess. What we do know for sure, is nobody wants to be missing a chair when the music stops. Staff don’t want to, or can’t, provide clean, direct opinion. The Region’s legal counsel, Donna Gibbs, was helpful providing contact information for anyone to obtain 30 minutes of free legal opinion, but the sad part is that that may even be necessary. Upwards of a dozen inquiries came to me in the last 10 days and about another half-dozen stories or trainwreck stories of people teeing off on unsuspecting staff when they were reminded masks were mandatory. There are so many grey areas in the bylaw it is downright silly. The whole public space vs space which is publicly accessible is one. As noted in this week’s front-page story, the core of any debate on this topic is not the merits of mask use itself - although there is an element of ‘no mask’ out there - the problem businesses are having is communicating the bylaw requirements to customers. Now, if the mask bylaw is
MIKE WILLISCRAFT of no consequence to you and you adhere to it willingly, you will absolutely wonder what the possible fuss is about. Well, while you are out and about, watch what is happening around you. It would be rare to go into Sobeys or the Superstore and not see customers who are maskless. All they have to do is say they have a medical exemption and they pass to enter and shop. No proof is necessary. It is quite likely everyone knows someone who cheats this system. It is WIDE open to abuse and everyone knows it. For that reason, I also get business owners calling saying they have had customers see others come into establishments to shop, maskless. The masked shoppers simply drop the goods they were about to buy and exit the store. Now. maybe they return to buy later, but maybe they don’t. This is just another risk of doing business which merchants have had handed to them. Businesses were never intended to be bylaw enforcement, no matter what anyone says. It is very easy to sit back and outline these things are just a simple matter of policy when you are behind
a desk at regional HQ, as done in this comment from Daryl Barnhart, executive officer for Reg Chair Jim Bradley. “Businesses enforce many other similar policies such as limiting the number of youth in a store at one time, requiring certain dress code or charging cover. In these cases, just like the masks, the business is choosing with whom they do transactions. If a business has decided to not allow any exemptions, they are well within their rights to make that choice.” The problem in trying to connect these dots is none of them allow the ignoring of the bylaw by an exemption which does not need to be produced. As well, any potential infraction in the examples cited would be visible for all to see, not to be debated, unlike someone who could have a breathing issue. Seriously? Who in their right mind would want to question or force someone with a breathing issue to wear a mask? Nobody. Ever. Magnifying the issue is the invisible nature of any condition which merits - without question - a person’s need to not wear a mask. Like many things which can get all balled up on social media, the mask issue is a non-issue for 99.9 per cent of Ontarians. But that .01 can rattle on endlessly and cause unneeded and unwanted distress for local businesses which are just trying to do the right thing. As stated weeks ago, regional council should have worked through that bylaw in more detail, ironed out working issues and at least attempted to take potential heat off every single business in the Region just trying to survive.

Notice of Public Information Centre #2 Quarry Road Landfill Stream D Mitigation Alternatives Assessment, Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
Niagara Region (Region) has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study (Class EA) to assess leachate management options at the Quarry Road Landfill. The purpose of a Class EA process is to identify any potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed works and to plan appropriate mitigation measures. Quarry Road Landfill was closed in 2000 and is located at the rear of 3768 Quarry Road in the Town of Lincoln. Public participation is an important part of the EA process. The Region is holding a virtual public open house to gain your feedback on the project and selection of the preferred design concept. Your feedback will be considered as we evaluate and select the preferred concept for upgrading the leachate management system at the site. The second public open house will be held virtually. A recorded presentation, transcript, comment form, and other materials will be posted online Sept. 15, 2020: niagararegion.ca/projects Please review the materials and submit any comments or questions by Oct. 13, 2020. The study is being conducted in accordance with the approved requirements for a Schedule ‘C’ project as described in the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class EA document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015). The Class EA is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act and includes public and agency consultation, an evaluation of alternatives, an assessment of potential impacts and identification of reasonable measures to mitigate any adverse impacts that may result. Once a preferred alternative is selected and the EA is approved, the project may proceed to design and construction.
