BACKGROUND: Kerrio CoIporation has requested an amendment to the Zoning By-law for the land known as 6546 Fallsview Boulevard, The Oakes Hotel, as shown on Schedule 1. An 18-storey addition is currently under construction. The amendment is requested to permit the addition to extend a further four floors to a total height of22 storeys. Details are shown on Schedules 2 and 3. It should be noted that when application was made, the applicant requested three additional storeys, for a total height of 21 storeys. The public notice indicated this. However, subsequent to notification, the applicant revised that the design of the 21st storey from units having two floors (a "loft" unit) into two separate storeys. Working Together to Serve Our Community (',/ArkS . F;nRnr.A . J-IllmRn RA,c:;nllrr.p,C:; . InfnrmAtinn Sv,c:;tpm,c:; . I AnAl . PIRnn;nn ¡¿ DRVRlnnmRnt Novlfnber18,2002 -2- PD-2002-100 The land is currently zoned Tourist Commercial (TC-542), which pennits the I8-storey addition. The applicant has requested new site specific zoning provisions to replace special provision 542 and pennit the addition to extend to 22 storeys. : Surrounding Land Uses Tourist commercial land uses, predominantly hotels, are located west and south ofthe subject land. The permanent casino is located on abutting lands north and directly east of the site. Further to the east are lands of the Niagara Parks Commission, including Queen Victoria Park. Circulation Comments Infonnation regarding the application was circulated to City departments, agencies and the public for comments. No objections were received. Planning Review The following is a summary of staffs assessment of the application. 1. The proposal complies with the intent and purpose of the Official Plan. The subject land is designated Tourist Commercial in the Official Plan. The land is located within the Fallsview Subdistrict. Fallsview is to be the primary location for high-rise hotels and large-scale attractions. Building heights under the height strategy can attain 30 storeys. Streets are to be animated with pedestrian activities and publicly accessible uses and by having attractively landscaped setbacks. As noted above, the proposal is to add four more storeys to the addition that is under construction. The existing approval was reviewed extensively by staff and the Architectural Peer Review (APR) panel and underwent an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (the Board). Because of the appeal, the I8-storey addition went through further scrutiny. At 18 storeys, the addition was found to be in compliance with the Official Plan and the Design Criteria for high-rise buildings. The proposal to add four more storeys, bringing the height to 22 storeys, is still in compliance with the Plan and Design Criteria. The 22-storey height is well within the height strategy for Fallsview and the dimensions of the addition and, together with the existing building, does not contravene the massing guidelines. There will be no traffic impacts due to the additional four storeys. Wind impacts will be controlled through wind mitigation features, which will be required to be detailed in the amending site plan agreement. Sun shadowing will not significantly impact public sidewalks or open space areas. The APR panel has favourably reviewed the proposed addition. Its comments are attached as Appendix 1. November 18, 2002 -3- PD-2002-100 2. The proposed amendment is appropriate. As noted above, the subject property is zoned TC-542. Special provision 542 permits the 18- storey addition and a further two-storey addition on top of the existing hotel building. Recently, the proponent received approval from the Committee of Adjustment (C of A) to alter the width and setback (from Portage Road) ofthe I8-storey addition. The amendment requested proposes to repeal the current amending by-law and replace it with a new amending by-law that provides for the 22-storey height and the C of A decision. The requested amendment is appropriate. A new amending by-law, which is on Council's agenda at the applicant's request, has been drafted that permits a 22-storey addition in the modified configuration that reflects the C of A approval. The current by-law will be repealed. In the review of the application, it was noted that the site specific Parking (P-II4) zoning permitting off-site parking on the existing parking deck over the former railway lands was repealed by the current site specific zoning by-law. In order to rectify this, the new amending by-law includes this land. However, this land was not included in the notice for the public meeting. Staff is recommending that no further notification or public meeting is necessary for this addition to the application and that Council pass the resolution to that effect that is on the agenda. 3. The current site plan agreement has not been executed. The current I8-storey development has received site plan approval, but the agreement has not been executed by the owner. It is necessary to amend the previous site plan agreement and drawings to reflect the changes brought about as part of this application. The current construction is proceeding under a conditional building permit. A road widening along the entire frontage of Fallsview Boulevard is required. An encroachment agreement for structures within the road widening will be necessary. It is recommended that these issues respecting these agreements be addressed by the owner immediately so that the road dedication and agreements can be registered. CONCLUSION: Based on the foregoing, the application can be recommended for approval based on the following: . The proposal complies with the intent and purpose of the Official Plan. . The proposal is in compliance with the Design Criteria for high-rise buildings. . The proposal has been favourably reviewed by the APR panel. . The requested amendment is appropriate. . Matters such as the increased building height, expanded parking lot and wind mitigation features will be addressed by way of an amendment to the existing site plan agreement. Novemnber18,2002 -4- PD-2002-100 It is also recommended that all outstanding current site plan agreement and encroachment agreement issues be addressed by the owner immediately so that the agreement can be registered.

The present site specific zoning by-law permits a maximum height of 18 storeys. It is our understanding that the owner had originally requested revised zoning provisions to accommodate an addition that would result in a 21 storey hotel but that the plans have been slightly modified for a total height of 22 storeys. These lands are in the Urban Area Boundary for the City of Niagara Falls and designated Tourist Commercial In the City's Official Plan. More specifically, the property is in the Fallsview Tourist District of the Central Tourism District. This is intended to function as the primary location of large-scale tourist projects and high-rise hotels with building heights of between 13 to 30 storeys permitted, subject to design principles of the Official Plan. The requested height increase only affects the southerly portion of the hotel. This should provide a reasonable transition in building height between the Embassy Suites Hotel and the new casino complex that are also under construction on adjacent lands. An Architectural Peer Review is required to evaluate the proposed design in conjunction with the City's design criteria. The City should be satisfied that the proposal meets more specific requirements for building form, setbacks, parking, landscaping and circulation systems. The owner is required to contribute to streetscape improvements that will have a positive effect on the public realm. ' .L.U .LOS' V;.. ",-U<" ",-V.V;" 4".4 QVV vos...

Steve Rizvic City of Niaaara Falls Regional Planning staff has reviewed the above noted applications to amend the City's Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit an existing building to be converted into a restaurant, tourist information centre and retail stores with four residential units to be provided in a future second addition. A Special Policy Area Is being requested to add the proposed uses under the present "Residential" designation of the Official Plan. The site specific zoning amendment will also add proposed commercial uses and residential dwellings to the current Village Residential Zone. A request has also been made to consider the local official plan amendment for an exemption from Regional Council approval. Re: Official Plan Amendment Exemption from ReQional Approval As the approval authority for local' official plans, the Region may exempt certain amendments from Regional approval in accordance with Regional Policy Plan Amendment No. 137. To be eligible for exemption, the amendment must satisfy criteria intended to determine that it is "minor" in size and nature. Regional Planning staff has reviewed the background information and draft amendment submitted with the exemption request and would advise that the proposed Official Plan Amendment does not meet the exemption criteria given the scale of development, policy implications for the intended residential area and the provision of private services for urban development If adopted by City Council, it is the opinion of Regional Planning staff that the amendment will require formal approval by Regional Council. ReQional and Provincial Plannino Review These lands are situated within the Niagara Falls Urban Area Boundary according to the Regional Policy Plan and designated "Residential" in the City's Official Plan. The property is approximately 5.41 acres in area with an existing building that was originally built for an elementary school and" more recently used to store equípment. The condition of the building and site has deteriorated over time. Redevelopment would improve the aesthetic appearance of the property. However, there are broader land use considerations since a majority of this area near the Lyon's CreeklOEW interchange remains vacant and designated for HResort Commercial" and "ResidentialN in the Official Plan. Further, there are existing single detached iiliO/U~ ~~l iU;UI rAA ~UO OQi O~UO ~t'-' l,lA'-,AlUl .t'L1\.1'1,1I'f'-, ~~~ ~lAbAlUl rALL~ I@ UU~ 2 dwellings and a place of worship that have established part of the intended residential land use pattern on the south side of Lyon's Creek Road. Residential policies of the Official Plan allow neighbourhood commerCial Uses that may serve daily needs of local residents. However, the proposed commercial development, which includes a tourist information centre, is intended to cater to the travelling public. The maximum commercial floor area to be permitted is 1,020 m2 (11,000 square feet) which is nearly double the size of the existing building area and greater than the maximum 930 m2 (10,000 square feet) floor area allowed for neighbOUrhood commercial centres in the Official Plan. Dwelling units proposed above the building would be desirable to provide the opportunity for affordable housing and to establish a degree of residential character. However, the size and configuration of the subject property, if approved for commercial development, may hinder the residential land use pattern contemplated for the area bounded by Lyon's Creek Road, Dell Road and a tributary of Lyon's Creek. In the absence of a formal secondary plan for this neighbourhood. effects on the long term land use and development pattern should be evaluated by the City in greater detail. Development within urban areas is dependent on the availability of adequate municipal services. In this instance, private services are being proposed since municipal services are not presently available in this area. The Regional Policy Plan only allows private services for individual developments under special circumstances where there will not be any negative impacts on the environment, the efficient use of land or the municipality (i.e. financial implicatiQns). The existing development is presently on private services which may merit some favourable consideration. However, the potential development expansion on these lands raises concerns with servicing capacity and environmental impacts. Regional Public Health Services has advised that commercial uses, such as a restaurant, could increase demands on the private septic system and private water supply. This would be substantially greater if potential development expansion ;s allowed. Ministry of Environment approval would be necessary for the septic system if flows are anticipated to exceed 10,000 litre/day. The City should also be satisfied that this development will not have a negative financial impact on extending municipal services to this area. The development includes a substantial parking area that should require a stormwater management plan to. control storm drainage. A tributary of Lyon's Creek to the east would provide the nearest storm outlet that leads into Lyon's Creek located a short distance away. The Ministry of Natural Resources classifies the tributary as an Important Type 2 Fish Habitat while Lyon's Creek is a Critical Type 1 Fish Habitat with Provincially Significant Wetlands present along its banks. Protection of water quality will, therefore, be an integral part of the stormwater management plan. Lyon's Creek Road Is a Regional road (Regional Road 47). Comments from Regional Public Works should be regarded, particularly with respect to the necessity for a road widening or an entrance permit. These comments will be forwarded when they are available. Regional requirements will also be considered during the site plan process. Concluskm Regional Planning staff would suggest that the City give serious consideration to the desired land use pattern for this area in terms of the type. scale and impacts of proposed commercial development intended within the reSidentially designated area. Given the poor condition of the existing development. it is acknowledged that redevelopment or rehabilitation of the site might be considered a visual improvement. If the City considers approval, utilization of the existing building without any floor area expansion would be the preferred alternative. This would make ~~/~v/u~ r~L ~U;UO r~A VUG Oq~ G~uo JU~\.' I~L~\>~~ft rLftl~I~Ll~\> ...... I~Lft\.'ft~ft rftLL;:' IßJ UU~ 3 the provision of private services acceptable until full urban services are available. It may also be more appropriate to only allow local convenience uses that could serve area residents (Le. small restaurant, convenience store). A substantial planted landscape strip should also be provided across the lyon's Creek Road (Regional Road 47) frontage of the site to improve the streetscape and to serve as a buffer from adjacent residential properties. These suggestions may assist in achieving a higher level of compatibility. Any future development of these lands for a land severance, change in use or building expansion would only be allowed if full municipal services are provided. For these reasons, Regional Planning staff would not Oppose these applications from a Regional or Provincial planning perspective if the development is restricted to the current ,building area or envelope and subject to the approval of private services by Regional Public Health Services, the implementation of a stormwater management plan and the provision of a landscape strip across the Lyon's Creek Road (Regional Road 47) frontage. These and other related development matters should be implemented through a site plan agreement to be entered into between the City and the owner.

Its purpose is to provide parking for the construction workers building the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Schedule 2 illustrates the dimensions of the site. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks' Finance' Human Resources' Information Systems' Legal' Planning & Development Novemnber 18, 2002 -2- PD-2002-104 Surrounding Land Uses Single detached dwellings are located south and west of the subject lands. An Ontario Hydro transformer station is located to the north. The off-site parking lot for the Radisson Hotel and Minolta Tower is found to the east. Circulation Comments Information regarding the application was circulated to City departments, government agencies and the public for comment. The following comments have been received. . Municipal Works Parking lot to remain as dust-free stone and only to be used as a parking lot for three years or until the Crowne Plaza Hotel receives occupancy, whichever comes first . Parks, Recreation & Culture . Building & By-law Services . Regional Planning No objections No objections City should ensure the parking lot is constructed such that the land can be returned to residential land use Adequate buffers should be provided along the south property line Planning Review The following is a summary of staff's assessment ofthe application. 1. The proposal complies with the Official Plan policies respecting temporary use. The subject land is designated Residential in the Official Plan. Parking lots are not considered to be residential land uses and, as such, if the parking lot had been proposed on a permanent basis, would not comply with the Official Plan. However, temporary uses need not comply with the Official Plan. Despite this, the Plan does contain a number of tests for temporary uses so that a level of compatibility with surrounding land uses can be achieved. . Shall be limited in duration. Temporary use by-laws are meant to permit lands to be utilized on an interim basis until such time that they can be developed in keeping with their Official Plan designation. The subject proposal is an example ofthis. The parking lot is for construction workers working on the Crowne Plaza Hotel site. Once the hotel is built, the parking lot will no longer be necessary. . Shall not entail any major construction or investment. Temporary uses are not to involve major construction or investment so that the use may easily be removed at the expiration ofthe by-law. Significant investments tend to entrench uses and can be costly to remove. The subject parking lot has not involved significant investment. The gravel surface can be easily removed and replaced with grass seed or sod. November 18,2002 - 3 - PD-2002-104 2. 3. . Shall not entail any major construction or investment. Temporary uses are not to involve major construction or investment so that the use can easily be removed at the expiration ofthe by-law. Significant investments tend to entrench uses and can be costly to remove. The subject parking lot has not involved significant investment. The gravel surface can be easily removed and replaced with grass. . Compatibility of the use with surrounding land uses. As noted above, single detached dwellings are adjacent to the site to the south and to the west. Parking lots tend to impact residential lands by way of the transmission of noise, lights, dust and exhaust emissions. Consequently, it is recommended that the applicant provide closed-board fencing and a landscaped buffer along the south and west property lines to mitigate the impacts of the parking lot on the surrounding residential land uses. . Potential impacts on the future use of the subject property and surrounding lands. As the parking lot is to be in place for a maximum of three years, there should be no impacts on the future development of the subject land and the surrounding lands. . Traffic circulation, parking and servicing. The access that has been created onto Dixon Street will be the only one pennitted, thus keeping traffic away from both Cleveland and Level avenues. As there are no stonn services available in the area, the parking lot is to be left with its current gravel surface to reduce run-off. Based on the above, the parking lot is in compliance with the temporary use policies ofthe Official Plan. The requested amendment is appropriate. The applicant has requested a temporary use by-law to pennit the parking lot for three years as allowed by the Planning Act. As the Crowne Plaza Hotel has a projected construction time frame of about 30 months, the three-year maximum is a reasonable request. In order to guarantee the installation of the above noted fencing and landscaping measures, it is recommended that the amending by-law include regulations respecting these matters; specifically, a 6- foot closed-board fence and a 10- foot landscape strip along the south and west property lines. It is recommended that the owner enter into an agreement with the City respecting site restoration. The Official Plan is temporary use policies pennit the City to require the owner or applicant to enter into an agreement with the City to ensure that the site is restored once the temporary use has tenninated. Such an agreement is recommended in this case because should the parking lot remain in place after the by-law tenninates, it will undoubtedly be utilized with or without the owner's consent. Unregulated use would likely lead to compatibility problems and complaints. Because ofthis, the site should be sodded once the by-law tenninates and left as such until such time as redevelopment occurs. The agreement should also contain a clause that requires the owner to deposit sufficient securities to guarantee the restoration. November 18, 2002 -4- PD-2002-104 CONCLUSION: Based on the foregoing, the request for a temporary use by-law to pennit a surface parking lot can be supported for the following reasons: . The proposal complies with the Official Plan policies respecting temporary uses. . The amending by-law will contain regulations respecting fencing and landscaping in order to mitigate the adverse impacts of the parking lot on the residents. . A restoration agreement and securities will guarantee that the parking lot will be removed after the expiration of the temporary use by-law.

John Barnsle - TEXT.htm Pa e 1 c\e.~'c.b ) Fe! Å~---S( '2cor¿. My letter is concerning the proposed amendment for the vacant parcel of land South side of Dixon between Cleveland and Level Ave. There have a number of infractions of the zoning by-law already by the property owners, a) The leveling and clearing of the land to create a parking area without re- zoning permit. b) After recieving notification of compliance, disregarding it again by parking employee vehicles in the same area The letter dated Aug 29/02 from R Judge Manager of By -law Services clearly stated that "in the mean time this property is not to be used for the purpose of parking vehicles" I presume this means ALL VEHICLES. The property owners do not seem to have regarded our area either. By cracking the sidewalks and knocking down city signs(which still need to be replaced.) The whole area resembles a back end parking lot and looks nowhere as nice as the other parking area on Cleveland which has obviously been designed to be a little pleasing to the eye. There are many partitions of vacant land that can be used as a temporary parking lot, Hydro I'm certain would oblige.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council consider input received at the Public Meeting and refer all matters to staff for the review of the Gamer Estates Phase 4 Draft Plan of Subdivision. BACKGROUND: The purpose of this Public Meeting is to receive information and provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed subdivision. Planning & Development will consider all comments received from the public, Region, agencies and City departments and prepare a recommendation report to Council at a future meeting. There is to be no decision made at the meeting held tonight. Notice of the Public Meeting was given in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act. The applicant has been invited to attend this Public Meeting to provide an overview ofthe subdivision proposal and answer any questions. This application is a revision of a subdivision (File 26T -11-2002-04) that was refused by Council on September 16, 2002. At that meeting, a motion to adopt the report recommendations for approval was defeated. Although Council unanimously passed a subsequent motion to defer the subdivision for further consultation with area residents, the loss of the original motion resulted in a technical refusal of the application. The owner has submitted a new application for the land rather than appeal the Council decision to the Ontario Municipal Board. Proposal The applicant proposes to subdivide a 12.39 hectare (30.62 acre) site into 90 single-detached lots, 19 semi-detached lots, and separate blocks for an institutional use, stormwater management area and parkland. The subject land is located north of McLeod Road and east of Gamer Road as shown on Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks' Finance' Human Resources' Information Systems. Legal' Planning & Development November 18, 2002 -2- PD-2002-101 Schedule 1. The road pattern is an extension ofMcGany Drive to Gamer Road, connects to McLeod Road, includes a cul-de-sac and provides three dead-end streets to be continued on abutting land in the future. The development surrounds sites approved for a church and high school. There is one lot with direct access to Gamer Road, Schedule 2 illustrates the proposed subdivision layout. The City's Official Plan designates the property Residential which permits a variety of housing types. The land is currently zoned Development Holding (DH) through Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended. The applicant has requested the zoning ofthe land be changed to the Residential Single Family 1 E Density (R 1 E) zone for the single-detached lots, to the Residential Single Family and Two Family (R2) zone for the semi-detached lots, and to a special Institutional (1) zone for the institutional use. The related zoning by-law amendment (File AM-38/2002) will be subject to a Public Meeting at a later date. CONCLUSION: The Public Meeting is an important part of the consultation and input process in the review of development applications. This meeting satisfies the requirements ofthe Planning Act. Comments received will be considered in preparing the recommendation report on the proposed subdivision.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council support a one-year extension to draft plan approval for the Gamer Estates (phase 3) Plan of Subdivision, conditional on the applicant maintaining the appropriate subdivision sign on the property for public infonnation purposes. BACKGROUND: Conditions ofthe original draft plan approval for this subdivision indicate that final approval must be obtained within three years or the draft approval wi11lapse. Before the initial approval period passes, an extension to draft plan approval may be granted provided that a written request is received from the applicant which sets out the reasons for the delay and the steps being taken to resolve the required conditions of approval. In order to ensure that draft plans are not automatically extended without consideration being given to current Council policy, planning principles and contemporary requirements, requests for extensions of draft plan approval must satisfy certain criteria and review guidelines. As part of the conditions associated with the delegation of subdivision approval authority, the concurrence ofthe Region is required before an extension can be granted. Planning Review In a letter dated October 4, 2002, the developer submitted a request for an extension to draft approval ofthe Gamer Estates (Phase 3) Plan of Subdivision (see attached letter and location map). Original draft approval for the plan was received from the City on December 30, 1998. A previous request was granted to extend draft plan approval for this phase of the subdivision. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks' Finance. Human Resources' Information Systems' Legal' Planning & Development November 18, 2002 -2- PD-2002-103 The subdivision conforms to the City's Official Plan and Gamer Neighbourhood Secondary Plan and is zoned appropriately. This large residential development has proceeded in stages with Phase 1 registered in October 1999 and Phase 2 registered in August 2001. The balance of the plan has approval for 97 single-detached lots. The applicant has indicated these lots will develop based on market demand. The Region has no objection to the extension of draft approval for a one-year period, The final registration of this subdivision plan, as well as others in the City, may potentially be delayed due to servicing requirements. Niagara Falls and the Ministry of Environment (MOE) have a development strategy in place that permits development to proceed City-wide on the basis that the City's annual sewer program results in a net decrease in sewage flows. The City's sewer separation program has been suspended which affects this City/MOE development strategy. Therefore~ all developments must be reviewed individually to determine their impact on localized sewage overflows or basement flooding. CONCLUSION: Based on this review, a further one-year extension (until December 30,2003) to draft plan approval can be supported conditional on the subdivision sign being maintained for public information purposes.

There are no additional expenditures required on the part of the municipality for external or internal servicing or oversizing. The Region has no objection to the extension of draft approval for a one-year period. The developer has indicated that there has been no interest in the apartment sites but anticipates the market will change with the influx of people to the casino and associated development.

This year's theme for Drug Awareness Week (DAW) is: "Drug Awareness. We can make a difference." During Drug Awareness Week, Drug Awareness Committees throughout the province will highlight the many ways that communities can make a difference with regard to alcohol and drug awareness, particularly concerning binge-drinking, marijuana and medications. In 1987, the Honourable Jake Epp proclaimed that the third week of November would be known as National Addictions Awareness Week or Drug Awareness Week. Ontario-wide partners in the promotion of this week include the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Parent Action on Drugs, Council on Drug Abuse, Alcohol and Drug Concerns, Association to Reduce Alcohol Promotion in Ontario, Alcohol Policy Network, a Project of the Ontario Public Health Association, the Association of Local Public Health Agencies, the Ontario Pharmacists' Association andthe Royal Canadian Mounted Police. If so desired, I can put you in contact with your Drug Awareness Committee. Please call me with questions or for further directions at 1-800-746-3852.

REeOMMENDA TION It is recommended that Municipal Council receive this report for information. PURPOSE This report provides information on the initiatives that will take place throughout the Niagara Region during the month of November as part of the provincial "Drug Awareness Week Campaign". BACKGROUND The Ontario Drug Awareness Partnership is a partnership of health and education agencies funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to support Drug Awareness Committees. The purpose of these committees is to increase drug awareness in local communities throughout Ontario. In 1982, Ontario celebrated its first annual Drug Awareness Week. Since then, communities across the province, including Niagara, have become involved in Drug Awareness Week, organizing special events to promote awareness of the consequences related to alcohol and drug abuse. In 1987, the Honorable Jake Epp, then Minister of Health and Welfare Canada, declared the third week in November "National Addiction Awareness Week". ...Dedicated to achieving a Healthier Niagara REPORT As a Public Health mandate, substance abuse prevention is a high priority that requires many community partnerships to address the multifaceted issues. The DAWC consists of the following community partners: Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centre of Niagara, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Port ColbornelWainfleet Healthy Lifestyles Coalition, Regional Niagara Public Health Department (RNPHD), Teen Turnabout, Woman's Addiction Recovery Mediation, community members, and a pharmacist. This year's Drug Awareness Week will be held November 17-23, 2002 and will emphasize the messages that heavy drinking, marijuana use, and medications can cause serious problems in today's society. In our society, there is a misconception that alcohol, marijuana and medications are safer than other drugs. However, as the majority of Canadians use one or more of these substances, there can be more problems associated with them than the "hard" drugs. These problems include alcohol poisoning, injuries and admissions for treatment. Thus, the theme of the 2002 Provincial Drug Awareness Week is "It's not just alcohol", "It's not just marijuana", and "It's not just medication". In addition to an annual media campaign, Niagara's DAWC has arranged the following activities that will be occurring throughout the month of November: Restaurant Trivia The RNPHD will be pilot testing a trivia game during the month of November. The focus of these trivia cards is to raise awareness about low risk drinking guidelines and the negative health, social and legal consequences of dangerous drinking practices. These trivia cards will be located in licensed restaurants of downtown St. Catharines. Pending positive evaluations, this initiative will be implemented throughout the Niagara Region. Parent NÎQht On November 20, 2002, the Port ColbornelWainfleet Healthy Lifestyles Coalition, in conjunction with the Family Education Centre, will host an interactive parent information session on how to talk to children about drugs and alcohol. IMPACT 1m aired Minds Produced b Alcohol Cause Trauma On November 12, 2002, the Port ColbornelWainfleet Healthy Lifestyles Coalition will be hosting their annual IMPACT Conference at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel. Representatives from secondary schools will spend the day learning about issues related to substance use and harm reduction. WorkPlace Wellness in Niaaara The RNPHD has developed a package of information and health promotion materials focusing on substance use and the workplace. These packages will be distributed to the Occupational Health Workers. On November 21, 2002, one breakout session at the RNPHD's Symposium for Balancing Work and Family Life will focus on the importance of developing a Workplace Alcohol and Other Drug Policy, providing resources and suggestions for policy development. HiQh School Events The RNPHD has put together substance abuse prevention information packages for all secondary schools in the Niagara Region. Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition Conference The Women's Addiction Recovery Mediation will be presenting at the Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition Conference in Toronto. The focus of this presentation will be "Addiction Services: Strategies for Achieving Healthy Communities." Pharmacies Through the Pharmacists' continuing education day, pharmacists in the Niagara Region are being encouraged to promote the safer use of prescription and non-prescription medication. Public education fact sheets will be provided to pharmacists on this day. Library DisDiaY Teen Tumabout will be setting up a substance abuse prevention display at the Niagara Falls Public Library from November 18-25th. This display will provide information about alcohol and other drugs to the community. Poster Contest Teen Tumabout is hosting a substance abuse prevention poster contest for youth from Weiand and Niagara Falls who are currently registered in Teen Turnabout's after school program. These youth will also participate in many after school education sessions throughout November. SUMMARY OR CONCLUSION Community partnerships in Niagara have been invaluable in raising awareness of substance abuse prevention issues. There is good evidence to support public health strategies focussing on community-based prevention programs, mass media awareness campaigns and community partnerships. This year's Drug Awareness Week Campaign expects to increase awareness of substance use issues in Niagara.
