- New Year’s Day - Family Day - Good Friday - Easter Sunday - Victoria Day - Canada Day - Labour Day - Thanksgiving Day - Christmas Day

2308321 Ontario Inc. Operating as Sunny Foodmart located at 7700 Markham Road Retail Business Holidays Act Application for Exemption

The Act does not apply to pharmacies as they are governed under the Drug and Pharmacies Regulation Act and the selling of liquor is governed under the Liquor License Act. Council may permit businesses to be open on holidays if the tourism criteria are met The Act provides that Council may permit retail business establishments to open on holidays for the maintenance or development of tourism. A bylaw may be passed only if there is compliance with the tourism criteria set out in Ontario Regulation 711/91 Tourism Criteria (the “Regulation”) under the Act. A copy of the regulation is appended to this report as Attachment 2. In addition, even if the tourism criteria are met, Council is not required to pass the bylaw and may exercise its discretion to refuse the application. Section 2 of the Regulation provides that a business can be exempted if: • it is located within two kilometres of a tourist attraction; and • it is directly associated with the tourist attraction or relies on tourists visiting the

attraction for business on a holiday. For the purposes of Section 2, a tourist attraction is limited to: • natural attractions or outdoor recreational attractions; • historical attractions; and • cultural, multi-cultural or educational attractions.

4. ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS The Applicant has been present in the Region for one year The Applicant was established in 2011 and has three locations in the City of Toronto and one in the City of Markham.

2308321 Ontario Inc. Operating as Sunny Foodmart located at 7700 Markham Road Retail Business Holidays Act Application for Exemption

The Applicant therefore meets the location criteria for exemption consideration. In addition to submitting an application, the Applicant has provided letters of support from local associations, a petition from employees supporting this application and a customer survey indicating 71% of respondents would like to shop at the Applicant’s site on a retail business holiday - see Attachment 1. The Applicant’s submissions states that the Applicant’s site is a common stop for Milne Dam visitors to purchase picnic supplies, is perfectly positioned to respond to the grocery needs of Rouge Park’s visitor and is well-located to attract visitors from the surrounding area due to its proximity to Markham’s historic Main Street. The Applicant’s submission does note that this application is predicated on the same grounds that were present in the application by Foody Mart which Regional Council granted an exemption to on April 18, 2013; (1) Milne Dam Conservation Park is a tourist attraction, and (2) the applicant business was to be treated fairly and equitably in accordance with York Region’s established practice. Currently there are no bylaws applicable to this business, but there are two business areas, Main Street Unionville and Main Street Markham and seven businesses, which have been granted exemptions, within the City of Markham. A chart showing businesses within the Region which have been granted exemption is appended to this report as Attachment 3.

Under the Act, there is a period to allow for an appeal of the bylaw which may be made within thirty days, by any person who objects to the exemption. An appeal may only be made if an exemption is granted. There is no provision for an applicant to appeal if an exemption has been denied. If there is no appeal, the bylaw takes effect on the thirty-first day after it is passed. It is open to Council to grant the exemption as requested, or to make amendments with respect to the application.

Our File No.:117013 The Regional Municipality of York Attention: Anitra Basant Sisavang, Law Clerk Legal Services Branch 17250 Yonge Street Newmarket, Ontario L3Y 6Z1

Dear Ms. Sisavang:

Re: Application by 2308321 Ontario Inc. cob as Sunny Foodmart Tourism Exemption under Retail Business Holidays Act 7700 Markham Road, Markham, Ontario

We are legal counsel to Sunny Foodmart (the "Applicant"), owner of the food store premises located at 7700 Markham Road, Markham (the "Site"), in its application for exemption under the Retail Business Holidays Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. R.30.

It is our submission that the Site properly fulfills the criteria for exemption as set out under subsections 2(1) and 2(3) of O. Reg. 711191 made pursuant to the Retail Business Holidays Act:

2. (1) A retail business establishment may be exempted if,

(a) it is located within two kilometres of a tourist attraction; and

(b) it is directly associated with the tourist attraction or relies on tourists visiting the attraction for business on a holiday.

(3) For the purposes of this section, a tourist attraction is limited to,

(a) natural attractions or outdoor recreational attractions;

(b) historical attractions; and

(c) cultural, multi-cultural or educational attractions. (emphasis added)

In particular, the Site is located south of 14 th Avenue on Markham Road and is within 2 km of two natural and outdoor recreational attractions: Milne Dam Conservation Park and Rouge Park. Milne Dam Conservation Park is an attractive and well-known destination for large picnics. It is common for visitors to the park to purchase their picnic supplies at Sunny Foodmart. The park is open during prime picnicking season, Victoria Day weekend until Thanksgiving.

Rouge Valley Park, Canada's premier urban wilderness park, is also within 2 km from the Site. Rouge Valley Park provides visitors many opportunities for hiking, camping, canoeing,

Brookfield Place, 181 Pay Street, Suite 1800, Box 754 Toronto, ON M51 2T9 Canada 416.863.1500 416.863.1515

swimming, fishing and outdoor education. Rouge Valley Park contains two National Historic Sites and is an outdoor, historical and cultural attraction. The park's hiking trails are open year round . Visitors to the Markham area are enticed to experience the scenic locations at Rouge Valley Park. Our client's store is perfectly positioned to respond to the grocery needs of Rouge Park's visitors.

Historic Main Street Markham, although just beyond 2 km (at a distance of 2.3km from the Site), is another popular destination for visitors seeking to learn more about the history of the area. Sunny Foodmart is located just south of Main Street Markham and relies on this attraction for business via Markham Road . In terms of the natural progression of tourism traffic , the Site is well-located to attract visitors from the surrounding area due to its proximity to Main Street Markham.

On April 18, 2013, the Region of York enacted By-law 2013-27 which approved an application by Foody Mart at the corner of McCowan Road and Highway 7 for exemption under the Retail Business Holidays Act. The application by Foody Mart was predicated on the same grounds that are present in this application . Foody Mart was only within 2km of Milne Dam Conservation Park although it was also in close proximity to both Main Street Unionville and Main Street Markham . Council for York Region approved the application on the basis that Milne Dam Conservation Park is a tourist attraction and that Foody Mart was to be treated fairly and equitably in accordance with York Region's established practice.

The Applicant has taken great care to ensure that the community is desirous of is application. The Applicant has received support from various community groups including the Markham Federation of Filipino Canadians, the Scarborough-York Region Chinese Business Association, the Richmond Hill and Markham Chinese Business Association and the Cross-Cultural Community Services Association. Attached are surveys indicating 71% support from the community and numerous signatures indicating that Sunny Foodmart ' s own staff supports the application for exemption in the "Benefit to Community " portion of the application.

In light of the foregoing , it is our opinion that the application fulfills the criteria as indicated in the Retail Business Holidays Act and O . Reg. 711/91 . We ask that York Region apply the same treatment and consideration to our client as it has given to other similarly-situated businesses on other applications.

Yours very truly,

AIRD & BERLIS LLP

It is our belief that given Ontario's multicultural composition, individuals should have the choice to observe holidays in the manner of their choosing based on their own religious beliefs and ethnic backgrounds. Sunny Foodmart believes that this exemption will respond to the needs of visitors to the area while fostering a competitive business climate in Markham.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours very truly,

About Us

At our site you can get a brief understanding of one

of the world `s largest natural environment parks in an

appreciation of Rou ou come to v be

tter urban area. Of course, you will have a much Roug e Park if you isit us in

person.

I' ~ A free Visitor Guide with a park map is available. Many parts of the Park are accessible by public

~ _ transit.

Welcome to award w€nning Rouge Park!

A variety of natural landscapes is found in the Park, from the rolling hills of the glacial Oak Ridges Moraine north of Toronto, to the vast wetlands and sandy beach where the Rouge River empties into Lake Ontario. The Park thus provides a vital reservoir of biodiversity in the Petticoat Creek, Duffins Creek and Rouge River watersheds in the Toronto area of the Ontario Greenbelt. Rouge Park includes many of the best examples of forests, meadows, ponds and wetlands in the highly populated area near Canada's largest city. We undertake a wide array of restoration projects to improve the quality of the Park's habitats for future generations.

Human history is also an important part of our Park. Our watersheds are rich in archaeological evidence of extensive and diverse human occupation. We are proud to have two National Historic Sites of aboriginal origin within the Park. The legacy of early European settlers to the area continues in the families who still farm lands in Rouge Park today. The beauty of the Rouge River and its environs have played a role in the artistic life of Canada, as Frederick Horsman Varley of Canada's famed Group of Seven painters and many other artists have found inspiration here. Today we have even more diverse languages and cultures in our area as we work to connect the past with the living cultures of the present.

In addition to our Natural and Cultural Heritage Programmes, Rouge Park supports active Visitor Experience and Communications Programmes. We also assist public and private land owners in our watersheds to improve the environmental management of their properties. In 2005, we were proud to receive the "Protecting Tomorrow Today" award from the Ontario Parks Association, recognizing our leading role in environmental protection and heritage land management.

We strive to involve the community in major Park planning decisions and to celebrate their connection to this great public asset. Each year, we recognize those who help us to make this Park a success with the Rouge Park Awards. You can stay involved by subscribing to our on-line news list or reading our exciting newsletter, Connections.

Come out to Rouge Park for a great day on the trail! Rouge Park will awaken your senses to the sights and sounds of nature. In winter, the Little Rouge Creek gurgles under glossy ice cover, breaking through here and there as the sun warms the valley. In spring, evergreen boughs on the Cedar Trail are full of busy birds chirping away as they get their nests ready. In summer, the Mast Trail meadow glows with wildflowers, visited by birds and insects who love this sun-kissed habitat. In fall, the Vista Trail's forest offers golden-leaved views as far as the eye can see.

Trail walking is a natural workout. Be prepared for uneven surfaces, but don't avoid them. This type of walking helps build overall balance, and works the smaller muscles in your feet, calves and ankles that help with stability. Always be conscious of your posture, to relieve lower back strain and to open up your diaphragm for better breathing.

Also be ready for some small slopes, meaning you will go up or down... but again, don't avoid them. These give you cardio bursts (intervals of increased heart rate). Just take your time and go slowly. You'll be proud of yourself when you get to the tops

You might want to get a walking stick/hiking pole, to help a bit more with your balance, and give a boost when you come to an incline.

Follow the tips below for an energizing walk or a nature stroll, and join us on the trail for a guided outing.

KEEPING THE PACE: A winter pace is much different from a summer pace. In the summer, sweating is a natural way to keep cool but you don't want to go so fast you exhaust or dehydrate yourself. But in the winter, it's that coolness that can make you really chilled. So, in the winter, keep a pace that doesn't make you break out into a sweat in the first 5 minutes of your walk. Ease into the outing, and keep a pace that keeps you warm, not hot, but not breaking a sweat.

Any time of year, make your breaks many and short. In winter, it's so that the heat you've created doesn't dissipate from stopping, wind, or sitting on a cold rock or log. In summer, it's so that you can make sure you are staying hydrated. Pack a seat-sized piece of closed cell foam (i.e. half a camping sleeping mat) for when you do sit down for a longer winter break, so you don't lose heat from your bottom. Year-round, it's a comfier alternative to the ground.

EAT, DRINK AND WALK: Plan your snacks to be easy to grab, easy to eat as you go if needed and packable. Have water close to hand so your can drink as needed too. Don't hide them deep in your backpack. Trailmix is the perennial favourite, but as long as it's not empty calories, pack whatever you want! Don't underestimate hydration, even in winter. Keep at least 1 litre of water with you and don't skimp on drinking it. Double this in summer. If you plan a longer break, then you can think of a thermos with soup and one with tea or coffee.

DRESSING FOR THE WEATHER: Combined with pacing and food, the next key is to be dry and comfortable. Layering helps you manage your body heat as your outing progresses, so you can have just the right combination at any time.

Put this 3-layer system together for a warm and dry outing: BASEIWICKING LAYER: This is the layer against your skin, top and bottom, which will wick away your perspiration. In summer this should be all you need. But don't go overboard by being underdressed... which can lead to too much sun exposure and not enough wicking.

MID/INSULATED LAYER: The next layer is usually a polyester fleece or 'thermal top and bottom to start retaining your body heat but still wick away sweat. If its very cold, try 2 mid layers.

OUTERANATERPROOF LAYER: The top layer keeps snow or rain from getting into your other layers. Look for a wind/waterproof jacket and pants, plus, look for features like armpit zips, leg zips, 'Napoleon' pockets and adjustable hoods for more versatility. Avoid 'rain gear' as it's not designed for breathability. Gaiters help keep snow from getting inside your boots.

Above all, avoid cotton, even jeans. Cotton absorbs moisture (sweat, snow, rain); chilling your skin and making you work harder to keep warm. Keep the cotton for after your outing - change into fresh shirt, socks and boots when you get the car. Trust us, it makes a big difference!

BOOTS, SOCKS, TRACTION: Winter: When you buy insulated boots, look for the 'active temperature rating'. This gives an idea of how warm your boots should keep your feet, based on how much you are moving. Stay even more trail-ready with boot-traction devices (like Icers, Microspikes, Yaktrax), and snowshoes. We like Micro Spikes best!

Year-Round: Boots are the best way to go, but trail shoes for completely dry summer trails can be part of your choices (but not the only one). Always try boots with the socks you plan to wear on your outing, as well as any orthotics or inserts you normally use and give them a good try out in the store. Make sure boots are well above the ankle and ideally waterproof.

When you buy boots or trail shoes, look for ones that offer ankle support, a very solid sole and don't bend that easily. This means your boots don't 'give' too easily as you move on uneven trail surfaces, that you don't feel every rock under your feet, that your feet don't get tired quickly in your boots, and that your boot soles don't soften as your feet heat up the boot.

Socks: Athletic socks with cushioning and wicking materials will help ward off blisters and chafing. Make sure the socks are higher than the top of your boot or shoe. Again, stay away from too much cotton in socks. A blend of Merino wool with synthetic fibers is a popular choice for socks.

BACKPACKS: As you progress as a walker, you will see the benefits of a good backpack. Stuffing things in your pockets weighs you down and impedes your movement. So don't feel like you're staying overnight if you have a backpack to carry things on your walk. Smart packing will make the difference - not too heavy, but well organized so you use the space well and everything has a home. Buy a pack that is a little bigger than you think you need, so you have room to add a spare layer or jacket in winter, for example.

Get a pack with some 'bells and whistles' that allows quick access to items, for example, and that has a waist belt to get the fit that much snugger to your back. Your pack should fit you from just above the hip bones to the top of your shoulder blades, and be snug against your back without straining. Some models do have sizes to fit back length. Padding is always helpful, and an internal frame is even better. Basically, you should feel as though it's part of you!

FINISHING TOUCHES: Don't forget your sunglasses, binoculars, sun and lip protection, a seasonal hat, mitts/gloves/scarf for winter, and the `sit mat' of closed cell foam when you have a rest. And of course, bring your camera to capture the Park's amazing winter and show your friends what they missed!

WALKING IN WINTER: Rouge Park's trails are maintenance free in winter.We don't salt our trails or clear them of ice and snow. If it's particularly bad weather, come out when things have settled. Contact Rouge Park to find out a general picture of the trail conditions. (905) 713-3184 or hike@rougepark.com .

Wear boots meant for trail walking. They will have soles made for the demands of natural surface trails and grip better than a 'street' boot which is usually smooth soled. You might also get insulated trail boots. Running shoes? Bring them back out in the summer.

As we mention above, boot traction greatly improves boot to trail contact. The best in the biz are Microspikes, Yak Trax and Icers. Avoid imitators: if they look flimsy and are extremely low cost, it's not worth it.

Add walking/hiking poles. They have end points specifically made to grip and help you gain more 'purchase' on the ground. Plus, they can be adjusted for a more ergonomic fit. If you have a wooden walking stick, make sure it's got an end point as opposed to rubber.

Walk with friends or a group and stick to your plan. In case something does happen, you are not alone. Always, and at least, carry your cell phone, ID, water and a snack and an extra layer. Let someone know where you plan to walk; name the trail you plan to be on to narrow things down. Follow the Park's marked paths and avoid heading off trail. Get to know our trails.

Days are getting longer, but its still best to be out with the sun. Heading out in the afternoon? Plan your walk to finish at least 30 minutes before sunset and finish with light.

THE GOOD HIKER: 1. Respects the rules of the trail, wherever they walk 2. Respects wildlife areas so everyone can enjoy spotting birds, deer, etc. 3. Takes pictures of flowers instead of taking them home 4. Shares the trail with other users 5. Stays on the marked, mapped trails 6. Helps others on the trail however they can 7. Takes their garbage with them... even someone else's (within reason!)

WHERE CAN € BUY MY GEAR?: This is not an endorsed Fist, but certainly good places to start: Sport Chek, Mountain Equipment Co-op, Mark's Work Warehouse, Atmosphere, Sporting Life, Sport Mart, Le Baron, Bass Pro Shops

Main Street Markham is one of the most fascinating communities of the City of Markham. Here you can explore the past and, at the same time, enjoy the many flourishing shops, restaurants and pubs that line the historic main street.

Situated on Markham Road (Highway 48) north of Highway 7, Main Street Markham continues in the footsteps of the original Markham village which was founded two centuries ago.

As people settled in the newly surveyed Township of Markham, villages began to develop. In 1805, the north-east corner of Highway 48 and Highway 7 was sold to Joseph Reesor, one of a large number of Pennsylvania-Germans who were to make this area their home. Originally called Reesorville, the corner' was renamed the village of Markham and grew in size and status to eventually become a unique and vibrant community within the modern City of Markham. Main Street was the hub of activity for the village, a bustling street with a blend of businesses and services.

Today's Markham Village retains its small-town charm with many of its original buildings and homes still gracing the street. On Main Street Markham there is something for everyone to enjoy, such as shopping at a wide range of unique shops and boutiques for gifts, crafts, glassware and household items, books, flowers, fashionable clothing and much more. A variety of cuisines are to be savoured in the many restaurants, grills, pubs, and bakeries. A host of commercial and professional services are to be found as well, from hair salons to lawyers, doctors and dentists.

Adding to the eye-pleasing aspect of Main Street Markham, from early summer to late fall, the light standards are enhanced with hanging baskets overflowing in beautiful blossoming plants, and wooden half-barrels planted in colourful flowers and trees adorn the street. Main Street Markham contributed to the City of Markham's winning of the provincial Communities in Bloom contest in 1996 and again in 2005. The City of Markham went on to win the international competition in 1998. Communities in Bloom is a friendly competition that recognizes community participation in landscape beautification, heritage and cultural preservation and environmental awareness.

In recent times, the Markham Village Business "t Improvement Area adopted the Canada Goose as the e F ` mascot for Main Street Markham. It was a fitting choice and has become a widely recognized symbol of Main Street t`p " Markham, its business community and its neighbourhood. Main Street Markham is on a migratory path and local .. • residents often witness how Canada Geese work as a team. While flying in formation the lead goose changes regularly, to share the burden. It is because of these values of loyalty, steadfastness, hard work, and teamwork that the business people of Main Street Markham have adopted the noble Canada Goose as their mascot.

Events on Main Street Markham

Throughout the year, the Markham Village Business Improvement Area offers a number of festivals and events that many people, both in Markham and beyond, have made a part of their annual calendar.

Come and visit Main Street Markham during our many festivals and events--Accessible public washrooms and lots of free parking. Located at Markham Road & Highway 7. For more details and up-to-date information, please visit www.mainstreetmarkham.com or call 905 472-2462.

Reg. 711/91, s. 1. 2. (1) A retail business establishment may be exempted if, (a) it is located within two kilometres of a tourist attraction; and (b) it is directly associated with the tourist attraction or relies on tourists visiting the attraction for business on a holiday.

O. Reg. 711/91, s. 2 (1). (2) An exemption granted on an area basis may only be given if, (a) all of the retail business establishments in the area are within two kilometres of the tourist attraction; (b) the area does not exceed that necessary to encompass all of the retail business establishments for which an exemption

is sought; and (c) at least 25 per cent of the retail business establishments in the area are directly associated with the tourist attraction or

rely on tourists visiting the attraction for business on a holiday. O. Reg. 711/91, s. 2 (2). (3) For the purposes of this section, a tourist attraction is limited to, (a) natural attractions or outdoor recreational attractions; (b) historical attractions; and (c) cultural, multi-cultural or educational attractions. O. Reg. 711/91, s. 2 (3). 3. Each retail business establishment that on days other than holidays normally uses a total area of 2,400 square feet or more for serving the public or normally has four or more employees serving the public must, in addition to meeting the tourism criteria set out in subsection 2 (1), provide goods or services on holidays primarily to tourists. O. Reg. 711/91, s. 3. 4. The two kilometre restriction set out in subsections 2 (1) and (2) does not apply to a retail business establishment located in a local municipality, including a local municipality located in a district or regional municipality or the County of Oxford, having a population of less than 50,000. O. Reg. 711/91, s. 4. 5.

A description of the area or the retail business establishment for which the exemption is sought. 2. The justification, in relation to the seasonal nature, if any, of the tourist attraction, for the time period sought in the

exemption. 3. Information establishing that the tourism criteria set out in this Regulation are met. O. Reg. 711/91, s. 6 (1).
