The HKCC application has a tight deadline (March 14), and must come from municipalities in concert with education, public health, NGOs and not-for profits, recreation departments, and the private sector. Twelve Niagara municipal Mayors agreed to support this application. Ten of the 12 municipalities were represented by municipal staff at the meeting along with many community partners including school boards, Niagara Region Public Health, and several key community NGOs, not-for profit partners and community organizations. This memorandum serves to inform municipal councils, school boards, public health and community partners about the decisions made at the meeting by consensus through facilitated discussions. The agreed upon decisions outlined below help fulfill several of the HKCC application requirements and clearly reflect the expectations of the municipalities and their key community partners for the application process going forward. They are: Defined community: • Niagara's community of focus will be priority neighbourhoods that have the highest needs from across all municipalities as determined by health indicator data obtained by Niagara Region Public Health from community partners and statistical reports Host applicant: • The Regional Municipality of Niagara will submit an application on behalf of all Niagara municipalities that have agreed to participate. Memorandum of understanding: • A memorandum of understanding (MOU) between all municipalities, based on input from each of the municipalities will be signed by all municipalities to indicate their agreement to work together on the multi-municipal HKCC application 1 ) Page • All municipalities, school boards, public health, and community partners that attended or were invited to the community meeting will be asked to submit a letter of support for the HKCC application Community Champions: • The Mayors of each municipality have been identified as the Niagara team of local Community Champions for the program • Mayors will be asked to agree to serve as their local HKCC Community Champion and a recent photograph of each of them from Niagara Region's Corporate Communications will be embedded into a group shot in a fun way to depict their support of the application.The final group shot will be sent out to them for approval. • If Niagara is one of the selected communities to receive HKCC funding and support, additional local community champions representing the HKCC themes of physical activity, healthy eating, and adequate sleep may be identified within each municipality to create a larger team of HKCC champions Project Manager(PM)host organization: • Niagara will identify a Niagara-wide PM only once we have received confirmation of being a selected HKCC community from the MOHLTC. However,we need to identify a host organization for the PM and a recruitment process. Four municipal staff volunteered to assist in the selection of a host organization using the following process: o Create criteria of key skills,abilities and competencies and for host organization selection o Send invitation to apply for host organization role to community meeting attendees and invitees o Volunteer committee will use criteria to score applications and select the one that best demonstrated the ability to meet the criteria • Note: Any conflicts of interest will be declared first and that applicant will not be assessed by any person with a conflict of interest. Applicants for the host organization cannot be part of the selection committee. Project Manager(PM)funding/community investment: • Municipalities agreed to identify and secure community resources(funding dollars and staff resources) that collectively,would add up to at least half the value of the Niagara PM wages for the portion of the time they dedicate to the HKCC • Investments secured will be a commitment of cash and in-kind. It was agreed that portion contributions by municipalities would be related to population size.Therefore, calculations were based on a sliding scale according to population. o Cash toward the Niagara PM will range from $500-$5500. o Each municipality will also be expected to contribute from 0.05 to 0.2 FTE to assist in delivering the HKCC in their municipality. Also,the FTE commitment would be over the course of the year, i.e. it would be completely flexible from week to week as fits the municipalities' needs. • Please note that dollars could come from private sector partners in the municipality, or NGOs and other community organizations Leveraging existing community resources and local businesses: • Municipal contacts agreed to submit a list of existing local resources that can be leveraged to support your local community's participation in the Challenge including: o Funding, in-kind-support, existing partnerships, and existing programs o Local and cross-regional community partners who are willing to collaborate and sign the application o Local businesses who are willing to collaborate and sign the application and subsequently, sign a partnership agreement Niagarae Region The application process: • Applications are due by March 14, 2014 • Niagara Region Public Health will continue to support Niagara's community grant application to the best of our ability with the support and cooperation of the municipalities and key community partners who have agreed to meet the expectations outlined above and the supporting actions resulting from the HKCC community meeting The HKCC background and guidelines document available at Ontario.ca/healthykids provides complete information about the application requirements and specific expectations from municipalities (page 5) as listed below: • Commit to the principles, approach and methodology of The Challenge • Appoint(a) local Project Manager(s) (or identify a recruitment process for the Project Manager role)to provide ongoing leadership in the development of community partnerships, plan and implement Theme- Based Action Plans and monitor and report on the outcomes.The responsibilities of the Project Manager can be divided among a number of different positions, but one person must be identified as the community contact. o Niagara will identify the host organization, and recruitment process that will occur for a Niagara- wide PM, if Niagara is selected • Identify and secure community investments of at least half the value of the local Project Manager's wages for the portion of the time they dedicate to The Challenge o This will be covered as noted in the asks of each municipality in terms of dollars and FTE • Identify a local community leader(e.g., Mayor, Councillor)to be the Community Champion of the program o Niagara will have all Mayors serve as local community champions, and will further identify champion(s) if selected • Establish and maintain a multi-sectoral community partnership to undertake action to address childhood overweight and obesity • Assess ongoing community needs and challenges (leverage information from relevant community reports e.g. existing community profiles, health status reports) • Identify existing community resources to leverage to support The Challenge and contribute to successful delivery • Undertake a Community Needs Assessment and prepare and implement Theme-Based Action Plans every nine months for each new provincial theme • Include in each Theme-Based Action Plan the policies(e.g. healthy breakfasts in school cafeterias), programs (e.g. before-school cooking club) and environmental supports (e.g. posters promoting eating a healthy breakfast)that support the provincial theme • Participate in local monitoring, data collection and regular reporting according to the methodology for measurement as developed by MOHLTC • Demonstrate how community activities will be sustained after the funding period concludes • Promote The Challenge within the community o Niagara's community will consist of priority areas across all municipalities 3IPage Niagara ` ,' ; f Region BACKGROUNDER Healthy Kids Community Challenge Funding Opportunity for Municipalities What: The Health Promotion Division of the Ministry of Health and Long- Term Care (MOHLTC) recently made a funding announcement about a community program called The Healthy Kids Community Challenge (HKCC) to help communities address the climbing rates of overweight and obesity in Ontario. The MOHLTC will select 30 communities, each with a total population of between 10,000 and 200,000, from all applicants to each receive up to $1.5 million over four years. The communities of focus can be defined by specific populations. Each municipality will be able to sign a memorandum of understanding to demonstrate commitment to the HKCC application. Why: The HKCC is an internationally endorsed model that has been proven to significantly improve children's health. If Niagara is successful, the resources, support, and funding would advance existing efforts by the municipalities. When: The HKCC application is due March 14, 2014. Who: • Niagara municipalities have agreed to make a multi-municipal application with 11 of the 12 area municipalities (Niagara-on-the-Lake will not be participating) • Niagara Region will be the host applicant on behalf of the participating municipalities to lead the work for the application submission, and funding transfers, to support all municipalities • Niagara's community of focus will be priority neighbourhoods that have the highest needs within all participating municipalities • School boards, Niagara Region Public Health, municipal recreation departments and many cross-regional community partners have offered their support for the application • Municipalities will be approaching local organizations and the private sector to partner with them • Mayors will serve as the Community Champions for the program for each of their municipalities Join us on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube For more information, visit www.ontario.ca/healthvkids Contact: Linda Beyer, Project Coordinator, Niagara Region Public Health, 688-8248 ext. 7518 or 1-888-505-6074 or Dr. Andrea Feller, Associate Medical Officer of Health, 905-688-8248 ext. 7466 or 1-888-505-6074 Join us on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube Dean Iorfida From: Carolynn Ioannoni <carolynnioannoni @me.com> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2014 10:27 AM To: Dean Iorfida Subject: Hiring of communications person Hi Dean Can you please let council know I would like this report if possible to be defered to the next meeting?
