  Welcome to North Shore News and Interviews on Amherst Island Radio.
• 0:12
  Each week we keep you updated on newsworthy events, happenings and conversations that
• 0:18
  we've had with people in the local community and beyond.
• 0:25
  The Loyalist Township Council has approved the 2024 asset management plan, including
• 0:29
  an estimated infrastructure replacement cost of $774 million.
• 0:35
  This represents a $104 million increase from 2022.
• 0:39
  The Corporate Services Strategy and Innovation Department presented the draft plan to council
• 0:43
  at their year-end meeting.
• 0:45
  The new plan includes all asset categories and details the township's current state of
• 0:50
  infrastructure and the established levels of service.
• 0:53
  The plan also looks at life cycle and risk strategies.
• 0:56
  Core assets include water and sewer treatment facilities, distribution and collection systems,
• 1:01
  roads, bridges and guide rails, while non-core assets include all other township assets.
• 1:07
  The plan recommends that the township's reinvestment rate be increased by 1.2% of the tax levy each
• 1:13
  year to achieve investing the total annual requirement in 20 years.
• 1:17
  Similarly for user-funded assets, the recommendation is to increase the rate by 0.2% and 1% annually
• 1:24
  for water and sewer revenues respectively.
• 1:27
  The tax levy amount will be reviewed each year with the annual budget.
• 1:30
  User-funded assets will be reviewed and updated during rate study reviews and annually adopted
• 1:35
  by council.
• 1:36
  Any budget implications brought up by asset management in future years will be approved
• 1:40
  in the budget process.
• 1:42
  According to the report, the provincial government's asset management planning regulation was
• 1:46
  put in place to assist municipalities in managing their infrastructure.
• 1:50
  The township's last asset management plan was completed in 2022 for core assets in accordance
• 1:55
  with this regulation.
• 1:57
  The 2022 plan laid out long-term maintenance strategies that have been included in the
• 2:01
  various budgets since that time.
• 2:04
  The approved plan is now available to the public on the township's website.
• 2:08
  Township staff also provided a copy to the Ministry of Infrastructure.
• 2:11
  Asset management and strategic initiatives coordinator with the township, Alex Scott,
• 2:16
  explains why knowing full costs for infrastructure replacement is useful.
• 2:20
  The township has experienced large times of growth.
• 2:24
  If you look at, for instance, like Odessa, all the water main and sewer mains were all
• 2:28
  installed in the 1974-1975 range.
• 2:32
  Village of Bath is very similar, so I think it was 75-76.
• 2:37
  So generally what will happen is all those assets will come up in a plan like this at
• 2:43
  roughly the same time.
• 2:44
  Alex Scott further details the purpose of the report.
• 2:47
  Under Ontario Regulation 588-17, otherwise known as the Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity
• 2:53
  Act, the township is required to meet certain timelines regarding asset management.
• 2:59
  Our last report was done in 2022 and included core assets.
• 3:04
  The 2024 asset management plan will meet our Phase III requirements for all non-core assets
• 3:11
  and includes current levels of service and the cost of maintaining those services.
• 3:15
  Starting in 2026, municipalities will need to provide an update to Council by July 1
• 3:20
  and an updated plan, a minimum of every five years after that.
• 3:24
  Scott explains what this means for the township.
• 3:27
  By July 2025, we need to build upon the 2022 and the 2024 amps and include proposed levels
• 3:34
  of service, what activities will be required to meet the proposed levels of service and
• 3:39
  a strategy to fund those activities.
• 3:42
  At a committee of the whole meeting in the new year, staff will be presenting on establishing
• 3:46
  proposed levels of service and seeking both corporate and strategic input from Council
• 3:51
  on those levels of service.
• 3:53
  Scott noted increases in funding available from the provincial and federal governments.
• 3:58
  When we look at the funding available for capital, the portion of taxes being directed
• 4:02
  to capital has increased by 570,000 or 6.9% annually over the last three years.
• 4:10
  The federal CCBF has only increased by about 26,000 since the last amp, while the provincial
• 4:18
  OSIF, OCIF has increased by $547,000.
• 4:26
  The total annual funding available has increased by about 677,000, which results in an annual
• 4:32
  infrastructure deficit increase of 736,000 to 5.4 million.
• 4:39
  Scott explained some of the challenges staff are facing.
• 4:42
  Some of the challenges that staff are continuing to work on include the use of age-based condition
• 4:47
  ratings and staff continue to work on developing condition-based assessments that will better
• 4:53
  reflect the actual asset conditions.
• 4:56
  We're continuing to work on developing more accurate replacement costs for some asset
• 5:00
  classes.
• 5:01
  The 2025 budget includes money to conduct building condition assessments for all township facilities,
• 5:09
  and this will provide more accurate condition ratings and updated replacement costs.
• 5:13
  Mayor Jim Hagedorn noted the amount of work that went into the asset management plan.
• 5:18
  There was a bit of a list of some numbers of staff members that were involved in this.
• 5:23
  I think when they actually all added up, it would be easier to list the number of staff
• 5:27
  that weren't involved in it because it seemed like every time I went through the office,
• 5:32
  there was a lot of work being done on it and a lot of questions going out and receiving
• 5:36
  the answers that were needed.
• 5:38
  For Amherst Island Radio and the Local Journalism Initiative, I'm Ted Evans.
• 5:43
  This is North Shore News.
• 5:53
  Public Energy Incorporated is looking at converting the old Kingston Generation plan in Loyalist
• 5:58
  Township into North America's first hydrogen-peaking plant.
• 6:02
  This type of plant produces hydrogen at night when energy costs are cheaper and stores it
• 6:07
  to be sold when it's needed.
• 6:09
  The company presented council with plans at their year-end meeting and spoke about the
• 6:12
  benefits of hydrogen.
• 6:14
  The retired plant is located on Taylor Kid Boulevard and has access to Lake Ontario.
• 6:19
  The plan would include an investment of $400 million into Loyalist Township and nearly
• 6:24
  130 new jobs brought to the area.
• 6:27
  Chairman of Public Energy Inc. John Douglas explains the conversion process and their
• 6:31
  willingness to rename the facility.
• 6:34
  We started looking for a retired gas project that had an interconnection that we could
• 6:40
  use and basically replace those gas turbines with new 100% hydrogen turbines, which is
• 6:49
  what we're proposing to do for the Kingston power plant.
• 6:52
  And we're quite happy to let whoever rename that facility, whether it's Loyalist Generating
• 7:00
  Station or Loyalist Hydrogen Station.
• 7:04
  Douglas spoke about the jobs it could create in the area and noted the interest they've
• 7:08
  had from large companies.
• 7:09
  The thing to keep in mind is we're talking about a $400 million project that will generate
• 7:15
  100 construction jobs, probably 15 to 20 great operational jobs for the 30-year life.
• 7:22
  And this will be the first such hydrogen peaker plant in North America.
• 7:29
  So we have both GE and Siemens that are pretty keen to be the first.
• 7:35
  Douglas notes the unique opportunity Ontario provides.
• 7:38
  A common way to make hydrogen is through a chemical process using an electrolyzer.
• 7:43
  So electrolyzers have been around for a long time.
• 7:46
  There's nothing new there.
• 7:47
  But Ontario offers a unique opportunity for this because of course at night our energy,
• 7:54
  our electricity is pretty cheap.
• 7:56
  So we're proposing to make hydrogen at night with cheap electricity like for a penny a kilowatt
• 8:04
  and storing that hydrogen on site to burn in a turbine to make electricity when it's
• 8:14
  required.
• 8:15
  Douglas spoke about the support they've received and the steps they'll need to take going forward.
• 8:19
  We've spent the past year talking to the Ministry of Energy.
• 8:23
  We first started with Minister Smith, but now of course we have Minister Leche and his
• 8:28
  Assistant Deputy Minister Oosterhof.
• 8:31
  So they're very familiar with this project.
• 8:33
  They really like it.
• 8:35
  So does the Premier.
• 8:36
  So we have lots of political support.
• 8:38
  But I think as we've learned from the LT1 exercise, municipal support is critical now.
• 8:46
  There's all kinds of new regulations from an agricultural perspective on renewable energy
• 8:51
  brought in by not just the provincial government but by the federal government.
• 8:56
  So there's lots of check marks that need to be acquired for a project like this.
• 9:02
  This details the history of how he and co-founder Dr. Dennis Stein came up with the plan.
• 9:07
  Dennis and I go back a fair ways.
• 9:10
  So when he came to Canada, we started working together on sort of what's going to be the
• 9:15
  next big thing.
• 9:17
  And so we decided that distributed generation will be part of the future.
• 9:24
  Dennis advised the German government on their energy transition and people were just starting
• 9:29
  to talk about that back then.
• 9:31
  And so we started Public Energy.
• 9:33
  It's based in Toronto.
• 9:34
  We're an independent power producer.
• 9:36
  We own and operate power plants in Ontario.
• 9:40
  And currently we operate seven power plants for industrial customers.
• 9:44
  Stein talks about the benefits of hydrogen.
• 9:47
  It's probably the first molecule that was created in the universe because it's the simplest
• 9:51
  molecule and it has the highest energy density of everything that we know in our nature.
• 9:59
  So it's a great energy storage device.
• 10:02
  And using electricity as an energy form that can be transferred from, as we said, from
• 10:08
  the great at night to the hydrogen and back into the electricity is actually from the
• 10:13
  physical perspective excellent way to advance the power systems in this province.
• 10:21
  It's really about providing a service that's carbon free, that's sustainable and that's
• 10:28
  superior to a battery service, I would say, in that case.
• 10:32
  Stein explains the value of the service they propose to offer.
• 10:35
  This is not about electricity and energy.
• 10:38
  This is about the service that this hydrogen can provide to the grid.
• 10:42
  So the value, we are not buying once a kilowatt hour and then selling it for 10 cents.
• 10:48
  This is not the case.
• 10:49
  So we are selling them a service that they can call whenever they want.
• 10:55
  And that service has a value that goes way beyond kilowatt hour pricing.
• 11:00
  So it's not really about kind of gaming the one cent against 10 cents.
• 11:05
  It's really about having an equipment that produces that service and that's electricity
• 11:11
  and at any given time and they need it and the rotating mass and inertia and all of that
• 11:15
  that's coming out of this turbine.
• 11:17
  It has much, much higher value at that given moment in time than I so requires than a kilowatt
• 11:22
  hour they can buy on the market.
• 11:24
  So they have energy markets and then a capacity market.
• 11:26
  So we are turning energy into the capacity basically and selling this as a capacity service.
• 11:33
  Douglas explains why a unique situation with power creation in Ontario makes this a good
• 11:37
  time to consider switching to hydrogen.
• 11:40
  People in Canada were talking about, hey, let's make hydrogen to export to Germany or
• 11:46
  let's make hydrogen to use for the transportation business.
• 11:50
  When we started, we came up with a different concept mostly from Dennis's sort of experience
• 11:56
  and expertise of, hey, let's make hydrogen with this super cheap energy at night.
• 12:01
  And sometimes in Ontario with our nuclear power, we can't turn off our nukes.
• 12:07
  So we actually pay Americans to take our power.
• 12:11
  It's bid negative at night like we'll pay them a penny or sometimes two cents to take
• 12:17
  the energy because we can't afford to turn off a nuke.
• 12:20
  If you turn off a nuclear reactor, it might take six months to turn it back on because
• 12:24
  you have to go through all this protocol.
• 12:27
  So that's the unique situation of Ontario and why we think it makes this an incredible
• 12:34
  opportunity for growth and for investment.
• 12:37
  Douglas notes the environmental impact the plant could have.
• 12:41
  Companies like Volkswagen and these large global manufacturers, they care about carbon
• 12:47
  now because their boards are saying they want suppliers that have a low carbon footprint.
• 12:52
  So by setting up shop in Ontario, they're basically ahead of the game.
• 12:58
  So we have a green grid.
• 12:59
  We're going to help green the grid here by a hydrogen peaker plant.
• 13:04
  Douglas speaks about the future of the project and its benefits.
• 13:07
  We will be looking for municipal resolution of support at some point.
• 13:12
  What we're talking about is 100% emission free, a $400 million project that will be
• 13:19
  one of the first and a unique opportunity to make it almost like a hydrogen sort of
• 13:26
  energy center that will attract more interest and could be used as a kind of a center of
• 13:33
  excellence.
• 13:34
  We're talking about basically off the shelf components used in a new way.
• 13:40
  That's the innovation that we're proposing.
• 13:42
  Mayor Jim Hagedorn noted his interest.
• 13:44
  Producing power from hydrogen is kind of intriguing to me, so I've been quite interested in this.
• 13:51
  Councillor Paul Pratrick noted a potential hang up in the process.
• 13:54
  The emission thing, I think that's unique.
• 13:56
  The one thing that obviously in the starting stages is some kind of safety plan that's
• 14:01
  communicated to the community because I think in past experiences that has been a major
• 14:06
  roadblock.
• 14:07
  For Amherst Island Radio and the Local Journalism Initiative, I'm Tat Evans.
• 14:12
  This is North Shore News.
• 14:23
  Amherst Island Radio has come a long way from a tumble beginning 16 years ago in a converted
• 14:28
  milk house on Amherst Island.
• 14:30
  Today the station boasts a 4,800 watt transmitter serving loyalist township Kingston, Napa Nii
• 14:36
  and farther north and can be heard worldwide on the internet.
• 14:40
  And they continue to grow with the addition of their newly launched media hub in Bath,
• 14:46
  Ontario.
• 14:47
  Located at 218 Main Street in Bath, the new media hub represents a major leap forward
• 14:52
  for the non-profit volunteer run station.
• 14:55
  Eric Tromblay, brand manager, says the goal is to create a space allowing the community
• 15:01
  to tell stories and share performances in new and exciting ways that weren't possible
• 15:06
  with the space restrictions of the main station.
• 15:09
  The new facility will feature a broadcast studio, performance and recording studio,
• 15:14
  multimedia production tools, and even live streaming capabilities.
• 15:19
  All for free for residents of Loyola's Township.
• 15:24
  Starting in the new year, Amherst Island Radio expects the media hub to up the station's
• 15:28
  game with the all new performance studio opening its doors to musicians providing them with
• 15:34
  the opportunity to record, live stream and broadcast live to air using high quality equipment.
• 15:41
  With over 150 live and station performances hosted annually, Eric explained that for the
• 15:47
  first time they can host full bands without worry.
• 15:50
  He says in the past to accommodate larger groups that they've had to set up a drum
• 15:54
  kit down the hall in the office at the main station.
• 15:59
  The new media hub isn't replacing the main station on the island, but rather will compliment
• 16:04
  the station's existing operations on Amherst Island, allowing volunteers more opportunity
• 16:09
  to continue to serve the over 20,000 listeners every month.
• 16:14
  The station's expansion utilizes a private internet connection linking the media hub
• 16:18
  to the existing broadcast tower on Amherst Island, ensuring that the community's creativity
• 16:23
  can reach even more listeners and keeping the media hub connected and coordinated with
• 16:28
  the main station and FM signal.
• 16:31
  By broadening its capabilities, the station aims to ensure future generations of local
• 16:36
  media makers and strengthen its role as a vital community resource.
• 16:40
  As the performance studio continues to take shape, Amherst Island Radio is calling on
• 16:45
  the community for support.
• 16:47
  Donations and volunteers are needed to complete the studio.

• 17:19
  Nearly 60% of respondents in a fundraising campaign study for the W.J. Henderson Recreation
• 17:24
  Center said they'd be likely to donate towards the $2 million goal.
• 17:28
  Interviews for the study were conducted by BNP Goldie, Canada.
• 17:32
  Loyalist Township Council approved the motion to receive the report and approve commencement
• 17:36
  of the capital campaign outlined within it.
• 17:39
  Senior consultant with BNP Goldie, Canada, Lee Pejo, spoke about the amount of people
• 17:43
  willing to donate.
• 17:44
  Close to 60% of people said they would make a donation they're ready to give.
• 17:50
  And those who weren't sure, nobody said no, some said unsure.
• 17:54
  The majority of those said they were likely to give if they could understand the rationale
• 18:00
  behind it a little better.
• 18:02
  So that again, it was seen as a fairly positive comment.
• 18:06
  Pejo explains the focus of the study.
• 18:09
  Our question was to determine whether raising $2 million in donations for the renewal of
• 18:14
  the W.J. Henderson Recreation Center in donations and sponsorship is realistic and achievable.
• 18:22
  So we wanted to determine whether a fundraising campaign could be undertaken and how much support
• 18:28
  that campaign would have in the community.
• 18:31
  We wanted to identify the level of participation in that fundraising campaign by donors and
• 18:37
  volunteers and to identify campaign leaders and to assess their level of engagement so
• 18:43
  we know who would be working with Loyalist to raise the funds.
• 18:48
  Pejo detailed the process they took in the study.
• 18:51
  We prepare a case for support or a rationale around the question.
• 18:57
  We work to get a list of people to interview, influencers, decision makers, people in the
• 19:02
  know in the community.
• 19:04
  We prepare and agreed to interview questionnaire and we send out some meeting requests by email
• 19:09
  and follow them up.
• 19:10
  Then, of course, we do the appointments and then our third phase, of course, is the consolidation
• 19:17
  of those results, our analysis, the creation of the report, and that all happened between
• 19:22
  September and today's date.
• 19:24
  Pejo noted the main demographics that showed interest.
• 19:27
  There were generally two types of people that were considered to be interested in the project
• 19:32
  itself and that's the new or younger residents and potential residents of Loyalist Township
• 19:37
  who want services like this and will move into an area where there are services.
• 19:44
  And then there are more established residents who are interested in the project because
• 19:47
  they wanted something to be proud of.
• 19:49
  Pejo explained some of the challenges they found in the study.
• 19:52
  The challenges of running a $2 million campaign right now was that there are competition from
• 19:57
  other large charities such as the hospitals and post-secondary institutes in the area.
• 20:02
  There is a perception from some people that it is already built because it is and therefore
• 20:08
  is already paid for.
• 20:09
  So why would you need a campaign?
• 20:12
  The general economy and community demographics were seen by some as a challenge.
• 20:18
  It was also commented that not everybody uses it.
• 20:21
  There are some regional dynamics at play because Loyalist is a smaller community next to a
• 20:27
  larger community and there were some who wondered that aren't the taxes already paying for it.
• 20:33
  Pejo spoke about the response to the $2 million goal itself.
• 20:37
  We talked about and we tested the $2 million goal.
• 20:42
  The feedback we got was either uncertain or positive.
• 20:47
  There was no negativity around that and the uncertainty we had was people projecting their
• 20:53
  uncertainty onto others.
• 20:54
  So the people we interviewed said, I think it's a great idea but I'm not sure how others
• 20:58
  would take the goal.
• 21:01
  So that was really an interesting part of the campaign for us and something again that will
• 21:08
  need to be addressed in communication.
• 21:10
  Pejo noted some common themes brought up within the interviews.
• 21:13
  There was general agreement that the facility is needed and a new facility.
• 21:19
  That it is a world-class project.
• 21:21
  It's not just another arena.
• 21:25
  It is regional.
• 21:26
  It is not just Loyalist Township that they would bring people in from other areas and
• 21:31
  that many clubs, groups and ages can participate in the community campaign.
• 21:36
  That there would be broad acceptance from the general community.
• 21:40
  And there was a broad support for donations and participation across the interviews.
• 21:47
  Pejo detailed the next steps.
• 21:49
  The immediate next steps is that our organization BMP will create a campaign plan and timeline
• 21:57
  that will put all of this together.
• 22:01
  Include a campaign committee, a working committee.
• 22:04
  Of those volunteers who are going to hit the ground, get out there and get the major donations.
• 22:09
  That will mean in terms of reference, the scope, the scale of what they're doing.
• 22:13
  A fundraising advisory committee that would be made up of both council staff and volunteers
• 22:22
  so that there would be a bit of an oversight to what's going on.
• 22:26
  And specifically around timing, goals and naming opportunities.
• 22:29
  And again, that's about quantifying something so that you know when you've achieved something.
• 22:35
  And specifically a very strong communications plan that sets out actionable items as well
• 22:42
  as strategy to make the campaign successful.
• 22:47
  Pejo went on to speak about a timeline for next year and beyond.
• 22:51
  In January, we will complete the campaign case, the justification, the full rationale
• 22:56
  around it, as well as recruiting campaign leadership, getting a campaign chair specifically.
• 23:05
  And then next year, we would start with recruiting the other committee members, finalizing the
• 23:10
  communication materials themselves, create a campaign reference guide and training materials
• 23:16
  for those volunteers and staff, those question and answers, scenarios, the ability for people
• 23:23
  to move forward on some things like that.
• 23:27
  And then finally, next January, we have our final report and future planning for sponsorship
• 23:31
  and other activities.
• 23:33
  Pejo noted the positive outlook in the interviews and highlighted a positive quote.
• 23:37
  One of the big things that came out of it was that it was a legacy project.
• 23:41
  It was a rallying point for the community.
• 23:43
  This is a once in a generation project, as in this quote, it's a community hub, it's
• 23:48
  safe and it's accessible space.
• 23:50
  It's something that many people in this council probably would only make a decision on once
• 23:55
  in a lifetime.
• 23:56
  Mayor Jim Haggadourne spoke about the report and where the township stands.
