R. Lee Ermey or Sgt. Hartman as he prefers to be called, (during his various RP sessions on GaiaOnline and the ilk) was not born, but rather forged. Forged like a fine blade, R Lee. Ermey cast his sharpened skull into the world of acting like a meteor in the carpool lane heading (at a law abiding speed of course) towards Earth (where weaker, lesser countries like Venezuela or Denmark would be assimilated; however America would stay intact, as the tectonic plates upon which our great nation rests are made from the same fine steel as America's own R. Lee Ermey.)
R. Lee Ermey wished it, and so it was. Some have said R. is possession of a djinn, but R. Lee Ermey knows that would be sacrilegious in nature and being a respectable and humble follower of the lord Jesus, he certainly would NOT(!) possess such a thing. It is said that R. Lee Ermey can mold any boy, no matter how effeminate or Liberal, into a rifle-toting killing machine on a war path to Vietnam with an itchy trigger finger to boot.
- It is a known fact that Tom Cruise is jealous of R. Lee Ermey, not only because of his handsome facial structure and form, but also because Tom would love to drill young men for hours on end.

First Team News
Things couldn't have gone better says Kompany
Vincent Kompany admitted City's 3-1 win over Dynamo Kyiv went exactly the way he'd hoped.
The City skipper looked somewhere near his best during a commanding display but warned the job is only half-done with the second leg still to come in three weeks' time.
"It was a great result, especially away from home and we couldn't have hoped for better," said the Belgian.
"The performance was good, there was a lot of high pressing, we created a lot of chances and 3-1 is a good result – but we need to make sure we don't get too carried away with it.
"It was the sort of City performance we enjoy and we would like to see more often between now and the end of the season - we will take a lot of positives out of the game and it's a good start to a big week for us.
"It's the first time at this stage of the Champions League that we're going into the second leg with a good chance of going through – that's never been the case before – but we need to improve year on, year out.
"We may not have been drawn against Barcelona in this round, but this game was always going to be tough and we handled it with a lot of maturity and looked like a side who were hungry for success.
"We didn't play it safe looking for a draw or a 1-0 win and tried to kill the tie off tonight."
And after only his second game since returning from injury, he was keen to share the praise for a solid defensive display, adding: "It's always easy to be a leader on the pitch when everybody does their job as they did in this match – every game is a priority from now to the end of the season and we want to do as well as we can in this competition and try and win the Capital One Cup and the Premier League as well."

Description: Gucci is one of the most recognised and desired fashion labels, with an enviable A-list following. At the boutique, expect to find cropped fur jackets and tasselled riding boots, which give bohemian style a modern update, alongside razor-sharp separates with a vampish edge. The buttery leather totes are exceptional. We love the 'New Jackie' shoulder bag in every colourway. The return of Studio 54 is particularly welcome, with glamour, folklore details and plenty of python. The Gucci attitude, summed up in billowing chiffon dresses and party-perfect clutches, is alive and well.

Niagara Kick-Off Event - Queenston Heights Looking for Historic Vendors - June 16th weekend, 2012
Expand Messages
- Hi Everyone,
I have been asked to forward this information looking for vendors for the
event taking place at Queenston Heights on the June 16th weekend. Just a
note that this event at Queenston Heights is in June and not the big
re-enactment Battle of Queenston Heights that is taking place in October. I
spoke with Pam and they have some great programming being planned for the
kick-off of the War of 1812 Bicentennial and if you are interested in
attending please contact her directly.
Take Care!

Subject: looking for historic vendors for June 16, 2012
Hello Dave,
I was hoping you could help me get the word out to historic vendors
regarding our Queenston Heights Opening Ceremonies on June 16, 2012. I have
contacted Sue Spencer as well, but after a month, I only have 2 vendors.
I'm thinking that the general public thinks that all of our 1812 events have
been cancelled due to some terrible and misleading press coverage, but
perhaps your community would be more open. This event is going strong!
The event is at Queenston Heights, NOTL
$300 for vendors, $40 for non-vendors, $0.00 for information booths
the Opening Ceremonies are from 10am to 11am and then we have stage
programming all day until 4:30pm-this is not a re-enactment
participants are to be in historic tents and historic costumes
There is a large grass area as well available for demonstrations
camping will be allowed Fri to Sat

When the incubator started, it was ran more like most other ASF projects (and ASF membership wasn't especially considered at all for incubator PMC membership; I think I became an incubator PMC member before I became an ASF member). It seems lately the ASF membership has found it more and more important to ensure that the incubator has a sizeable representation of ASF members, but I haven't really followed those discussions closely at all.

1 Climate Change Action plan 01
2 Legal deposit Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, 2012 ISBN : (PDF) Gouvernement du Québec, 2012
3 Message from the Premier With the launching of the Climate Change Action Plan, Québec is reiterating its intention to remain a leader in North America. Our determination to pursue our initiatives hinges on a deep-seated conviction that the fight against climate change is not only necessary to ensure our well-being and that of future generations but is also an opportunity for economic growth. More than a challenge to be met, the fight affords us an outstanding opportunity to redirect our economy toward clean energy and technologies, reduce our dependence on fossil energy, and ensure that Quebecers enjoy a healthy, prosperous future. Confirmed leadership Québec began the shift to a greener economy several years ago. The adoption in 2006 of an initial structuring plan, the implementation of the Québec Public Transit Policy and the Québec Energy Strategy , and the establishment of the Green Fund marked a genuine turning point in our fight against climate change. Today, Québec has one of North America s best per capita GHG emission rates. Innovative measures and alliances established with other governments active in the field have earned Québec recognition for its leadership, both in Canada and on the international scene. For this reason, to ensure an integrated, coherent approach throughout the public administration, the action plan will be reinforced in 2015 bearing in mind the new initiatives proposed in these fields. The action plan is intended to be flexible and focuses resolutely on It will also change in light of the development of climate science, new technologies and Québec s progress in the attainment of its objectives. We have decided to establish a carbon market that will enable us both to financially support our ambitions and ensure that the carbon cost is systematically recognized in our individual, organizational and collective choices. A plan for all Quebecers The challenge that climate change poses will make it necessary to review certain practices and ways of doing things. The Québec government knows that it can rely on the vitality of all Quebecers, businesses and organizations in Québec society to support it in the shift that it has undertaken toward a green, prosperous, sustainable economy. Jean Charest Premier Québec in action We have adopted for 2020 an ambitious GHG emission reduction target of 20% below the 1990 level and we intend to maintain our commitment in the long term. The Climate Change Action Plan is the cornerstone of our strategic approach in the fight against climate change, to which other government initiatives are being added. Accordingly, our choices in the realm of sustainable mobility, land-use planning and energy are also at the forefront of our perspective of Québec society s development. They must contribute significantly to the attainment of our climate change objectives. I
5 Message from the Minister Our government is proud to present the Climate Change Action Plan, which will enable Québec to pursue its shift toward a green economy and to strengthen the resilience of Québec society to climate change impacts. Build on past achievements Through the efforts of the government and society as a whole, in 2009, Québec s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions stood at 2.5% below the 1990 level. While this achievement is remarkable, it also fully reveals the challenge that subsequently awaits us. Québec has targeted for 2020 a GHG emission reduction of 20% below the 1990 level, an ambitious target for a government nearly half of whose energy portfolio is already made up of renewable energies. We have chosen the target for the numerous benefits that will stem from the initiatives implemented to achieve it. Reduce and adapt Our initiatives focus primarily on the transportation, industry and building sectors because they account for the biggest portion of our emissions inventory and also have the biggest potential for reduction. In Québec, the attainment of the most significant gains depends on the enhancement of energy efficiency, reliance on clean energy sources and changes in our behaviour and ways of doing things. The first phase of the action plan is our roadmap for the coming years. Other Québec policies that have a major impact on climate change will round it out. At the same time as we make the requisite effort to control and reduce GHG emissions, the action plan proposes government action that will protect even more the natural and built environment and contribute to reducing the vulnerability of current and future generations to climate change impacts. An open-ended, entirely self-financing plan The recently established GHG emission cap-and-trade system will give us the means to act. The sale of emission allowances to the businesses targeted, the main source of funding for the plan, will be rounded out by the extension until 2014 of the levy on fossil fuels. Having adopted a cautious approach to estimate the revenue available, we can rely with assurance on nearly $2.7 billion over the next eight years. Starting in 2013, major industrial emitters will be subject to the system and, as of 2015, the transportation and building sectors will also be included. The second phase of the Climate Change Action Plan will be launched in light of the revenue that the carbon market generates, the progress of our initiatives, and new policy directions governing sustainable mobility, land-use planning and energy. All Quebecers in action We are all concerned by the fight against climate change and the choice to act is ours. We are seeking easier access to mass transit and active transportation, more energy-efficient buildings, improved air quality and communities better prepared for changing climatic conditions. On the strength of Quebecers support, through its visionary climate change action plan, Québec is moving toward a greener, more responsible world. Pierre Arcand Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks III

9 Foreword This action plan is the cornerstone of Québec s strategic approach to climate change. It presents an array of tools that will contribute to the attainment of Québec s objectives with respect to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and adaptation to climate change impacts. The action plan is not the only means at Québec s disposal to attain its objectives, far from it: other strategies, policies and key directions will bolster its efforts in the coming years, in particular in the areas of transportation, land-use planning and energy. One of the key measures in the action plan consists in establishing a GHG emission cap-and-trade system in the context of a North American carbon market. It leads to a price signal linked to carbon in the economy, which encourages GHG emission reductions. The sectors that the market covers account for 85% of Québec s emissions. It will also enable the government to benefit from substantial revenue generated by the sale of GHG emissions allowances. Such revenue is conservatively estimated at nearly $2.7 billion by It will be fully reinvested in measures focusing on the reduction of emissions and adaptation to climate change in Québec, thereby fostering a transition toward a greener economy and society that are more resilient to climate change. The CCAP 2020 will be reassessed at midpoint to ensure the efficiency of the measures proposed in it. Moreover, depending on changes in the price of a ton of GHG on the carbon market, revenue from the carbon market could exceed $2.7 billion. Accordingly, in light of the additional budgets available, other initiatives aimed at further GHG reductions will be added under the second phase of the CCAP The attainment of Québec s objectives regarding GHG emission reductions and adaptation to climate change requires the mobilization and commitment of all key stakeholders in Québec society in the municipal sector, industry, private-sector businesses or community organizations. The CCAP 2020 serves, in this regard, as a catalyst that provides the tools necessary to facilitate the general mobilization. Each of us is responsible for acting to reduce our individual and collective carbon footprint and it is with the commitment of each Quebecer that we will do so. The carbon market in Québec has been designed to achieve GHG emission reductions on the order of 20% below the 1990 level on the North American market. However, since the carbon market extends beyond our borders, it does not guarantee that all of the emission reductions will be achieved within our territory. The challenge is, therefore, to ensure that the reductions are achieved in Québec, bearing in mind the significant benefits stemming from them. To this end, the priorities identified in the CCAP 2020 propose incentives to make even more advantageous emission reductions in Québec, both for businesses and for individuals, communities or the Québec economy overall. The 30 priorities pinpointed in the CCAP 2020 and the attendant initiatives mark the first phase of this open-ended plan. They should lead to reductions on the order of 6.1 megatons of the estimated 11.7 megatons required between 2013 and 2020 to achieve entirely within Québec the GHG emission reduction target. 1
11 1 FROM SCIENCE What science tells us The reality of climate change is now well established. Average temperatures on the surface of the earth and the oceans have risen, leading to climatic disturbances that are already occurring in almost all regions of the world. It is estimated that worldwide, average temperatures rose by 0.7 C in the 20th century. Furthermore, the past decade ( ) was the hottest recorded by meteorological services and the warming now under way is accelerating (WMO, 2012). Global warming is also already a reality in Québec. Average annual temperatures in southern Québec increased by 0.3 C to 1.5 C between 1960 and Snow showers increased in northern Québec but decreased in the south (MDDEP, 2012). In the longer term, Québec s climate is expected to grow warmer throughout its territory, especially during the winter. Accordingly, by 2050, winter temperatures could rise by 3.8 C in southern Québec and 6.5 C in the north (Ouranos, 2010). Climatic change is already leading to numerous perceptible, measurable phenomena: the gradual disappearance of summer ice cover in the Arctic, accelerated melting of the glaciers, the acidification of the oceans, and so on. Climate modelling predicts a substantial rise in the level of the oceans that would have a devastating impact on low-lying coastal zones and island states in the fairly near future such that the youngest members of society will have to live with the consequences. More frequent extreme weather events such as flooding and drought are also anticipated. Climate change will directly affect ecosystems, infrastructure, the economy and the well-being of populations the world over, including Québec. Past, present and future GHG emissions will disrupt climate systems for a long time to come. This means that even if worldwide emissions were immediately stabilized and reduced, climate change will continue to affect us for decades to come. Beyond the gradual impact anticipated because of rising average temperatures around the world, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that global warming of over 2 C above temperatures in the pre-industrial era exposes us to the risk of abrupt, irreversible changes (tipping points) in the functioning of climate systems. To limit global warming to a maximum increase of 2 C, the IPCC estimates that worldwide GHG emissions must be stabilized by 2015 and be halved before In short, there is still time to act but the time window in which it is possible to do so is rapidly dwindling (World Energy Outlook, 2011). Past gains threatened Continued degradation and erosion of natural environmental capital is expected to 2050 and beyond, with the risk of irreversible changes that could endanger two centuries of rising living standards. OECD,
12 TO ACTION Climate Change Action plan The Québec of tomorrow? Some anticipated impacts on Québec in the coming decades with high human, ecological and economic costs the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events in the south (flooding, heavy rain, drought), which will compromise public safety, the security of infrastructure and endanger crops; the gradual disappearance of annual sea ice in the Arctic, which will affect the ways of life of the Aboriginal peoples and ecosystems; accelerated melting of permafrost in the Arctic, which will lead to the instability of buildings and infrastructure such as roads and runways; epidemics of pests and forest fires, which will threaten public safety and cause losses for the logging industry; extreme low water levels in the St. Lawrence Seaway, which will hamper navigation and put at risk the availability of drinking water and water quality; a shorter snow season, which will curtail the activities of the Québec winter sports industry; an increase in the distribution range of human disease vectors, e.g. Lyme disease; but also a number of potential benefits in certain sectors a reduction in the number of heating degree-days and household energy bills; potential tourism development in certain regions; broader accessibility of certain northern territories through the opening of the Northwest Passage in the Arctic. In the realm of climate change, Québec is acting simultaneously to: reduce its GHG emissions; strengthen its resilience to anticipated climate change impacts. In so doing, we are participating in international efforts to solve the problem at the source by reducing our GHG emissions while minimizing the unavoidable impact that climate change will have in Québec. If Québec has decided to make climate change a key priority, it is because the benefits of action largely outweigh the drawbacks both for individuals, businesses and communities. Indeed, reducing our GHG emissions affords us an opportunity to review how we produce, consume and travel. We have the possibility to reinvent our society. The fight against climate change is synonymous with investments in energy efficiency, increased use of locally produced renewable energies, and the transition to a green economy. Correspondingly, Québec businesses and the Québec economy will be strengthened and become more competitive, which will have a positive impact from the standpoint of jobs and regional development. The development of products and technologies linked to climate change will also enable businesses to capitalize on new markets and export niches. Our collective and individual vulnerability to rising energy prices and, more specifically, to the price of imported oil, will be reduced. 4
13 Indeed, while Québec is fortunate in being able to rely on its abundant hydropower resources, our society and way of life depend heavily on oil for work-related travel and leisure activities, the production and transportation of food and freight to consumption sites, mechanized agricultural production, and so on. Resolute reliance on energy efficiency and renewable energies is a winning strategy. Vision of the CCAP 2020 By 2020, Québec will have shown genuine leadership and have contributed to the worldwide effort to fight climate change by reducing its GHG emissions by 20% below the 1990 level. Through its initiatives, the Quebec government will have strengthened Québec society s resilience to climate change impacts and have pursued the transition to a green, prosperous, sustainable economy. Accordingly, in addition to the imperative to reduce the use of fossil fuels to curtail climate change, we also have an incentive to reduce our vulnerability to the availability of fossil fuels and increases in their price. Individuals and communities can also achieve savings and enhance their quality of life through the numerous health and environmental benefits stemming from a greener economy. Today, following several years of climate change initiatives, we can conclude that Québec s leadership is bearing fruit. That is why Québec set in 2009 an ambitious objective for 2020, i.e. to UNEP, Annual Report, 2008 reduce its GHG emissions to 20% below the 1990 level. It is through the overall efforts of international stakeholders such as Québec that significant gains in GHG reduction can be achieved worldwide. We are also relying on our leadership among our partners. In the same way, from the standpoint of adaptation, our immediate, concerted initiatives will avoid or minimize the human and financial costs stemming from climate change impacts. The well-being of our society, the soundness of our public finances and, indirectly, the leeway available to future generations to build their future are at stake. That is why Québec has also adopted the Government Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation, which targets the stakeholders and sectors that are the most vulnerable to climate change impacts. Opportunities to be seized As the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) notes, the fight against climate change is being perceived increasingly as an opportunity rather than a burden and as an avenue to prosperity rather than an impediment to benefits and employment. The new green economy is leading to invention, innovation and imagination at an unprecedented level since the Industrial Revolution. The cost of inaction It is already very clear that the economic risks of inaction in the face of climate change are very severe and the benefits of strong, early action considerably outweigh the costs and must be viewed as an investment. If these investments are made wisely, the costs will be manageable, and there will be a wide range of opportunities for growth and development along the way. Stern Report,
14 Climate Change Action plan Québec s commitment for 2020 pursues the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP ) adopted in the wake of the coming into force of the Kyoto Protocol. Through the plan, we have pointed the way to the attainment of our GHG reduction target for We have also taken important steps to give concrete expression to the vision that is guiding Québec regarding adaptation. Through the CCAP 2020, Québec is going further by setting a bold reduction target and adopting ambitious objectives pertaining to adaptation. The establishment of a carbon market will support the action plan overall. The revenue that the Québec government obtains from it will be invested in the priorities of the action plan. The carbon market is, therefore, an integral part of the action plan. It is estimated that an initial amount of nearly $2.7 billion will be allocated to the CCAP Of this amount, $220 million will come from the extension until 2014 of the levy on fossil fuels. The carbon market will generate $2.445 billion in revenue, established according to the minimum price of carbon on the market, which is set by regulation. Additional revenue might be available bearing in mind the actual price of carbon on the market. 1.1 Québec moving forward towards 2020 and beyond Intervening in a structuring, long-term manner The GHG reduction target of 20% below the 1990 level and the Government Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation will guide Québec s initiatives until Beyond this timeframe, at a time when climate change impacts will be more acutely felt, we will have to go even further in our efforts to reduce GHG and adapt to climate change. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions In this perspective, the CCAP 2020 emphasizes transversal initiatives that reinforce the short- and long-term scope of and spinoff from more sectoral measures, both from the standpoint of GHG reduction and adaptation to climate change. Specifically, the initiatives focus on: land-use planning and risk management; innovation and the development of knowledge, know-how and technology; awareness-raising and training; integration of a concern for climate change into the public administration and exemplarity. Reducing our GHG emissions To reduce its GHG emissions by 2020, Québec is investing in an array of initiatives that cover all sectors that emit GHG, first and foremost the transportation sector, but also industry and buildings. Niches with reduction potential will also be emphasized in other sectors such as residual materials, agriculture and electricity generation. A COMPLEMENTARY APPROACH Adapt to climate change 6
15 Profile of Québec s GHG emissions in 2009 In 2009, Québec s total GHG emissions stood at 81.8 megatons of CO 2 equivalent, which represents 10.4 tons of GHG per capita, the lowest ratio in all of the Canadian provinces. Transportation accounts for 43.5% of Québec s GHG emissions and now ranks first among the heaviest GHG emitters. Three-quarters of the sector s emissions are attributable to road transport. Industry ranks second (28% of emissions), then the building sector (14%), followed by the agriculture (7.9%), residual materials (5.9%) and electricity (0.8%) sectors. Roughly 70% of Québec s GHG emissions come from the production and consumption of fuels. The remaining 30% of emissions come from non-energy sources, mainly industrial processes, refrigeration systems (HFCs), agriculture (the digestion of animals, manure management and farmland) and residual materials (the decomposition or incineration of organic waste and wastewater treatment). Breakdown of Québec s GHG emissions in 2009 by industry sector Industry sector Sector s share in 2009 Emissions (MT of CO 2 equivalent) Transportation 43.5% Industry 28.0% Residential, tertiary 14.0% Agriculture 7.9% 6.45 Residual materials 5.9% 4.80 Electricity 0.8% 0.61 Total 100.0% Source : MDDEP, 2011 Adapt Québec to climate change From the standpoint of adaptation, Québec is also investing in several initiatives that will give concrete expression to a significant portion of the Government Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation. Several of the initiatives focus on the key challenges defined with respect to adaptation: the well-being of the population and communities; the pursuit of economic activities; the durability and safety of buildings and infrastructure; the maintenance of essential ecological services. 1.2 An action plan centred on complementarity and partnership The CCAP 2020 ensures the leadership of the government s strategic approach to climate change. It is also clearly included in a sustainable development approach in keeping with the 16 principles defined in the Sustainable Development Act, and is serving as a guide for government choices overall that may affect the attainment of the objectives pursued. Several current or impending government strategies and policies that influence GHG emissions and Québec s ability to adapt to climate change round out the initiatives in the CCAP Mention should be made, in particular, of strategies and policies focusing on energy, sustainable mobility, sustainable development, residual materials, agriculture, public security, and health. Accordingly, the initial phase of the CCAP 2020 introduces an array of measures that will enable Québec to take an important step toward the attainment of its climate change objectives. Impending government strategies and policies will round out the initiatives and will be taken into account when phase 2 of the CCAP 2020 is elaborated in late
16 A complementary strategic approach the Electric Vehicles Action Plan (2011) the Québec Residual Materials Management Policy (2011) the Québec Research and Innovation Strategy (2010) the Development Strategy for Québec s Environmental and Green Technology Industry (2008) the Government Sustainable Development Strategy (2008) the Québec Public Transit Policy (2006) the Québec Energy Strategy (2006) the Policy Policy for Lakeshores, Riverbanks, Littoral Zones and Floodplains (2005) the Cadre de prévention des risques naturels (2005). Concrete gestures by Quebecers, businesses, communities and Québec organizations, which will also contribute to reducing Québec s GHG emissions and mitigating climate change impacts, will round out the strategies and policies. Growing synergy between government policies and the accountability of all of the stakeholders concerned by the problem will be essential to give concrete expression to the gains and changes necessary to attain the CCAP 2020 objectives. Partnership is the mainspring of the CCAP 2020 The CCAP 2020 stems from a collaboration between the main government departments and bodies concerned with the fight against climate change, which have worked jointly to analyze the situation in each GHG emitting sector and in respect of adaptation to climate change. The expertise of over 100 organizations has also been profitably employed to define the key issues and priorities to be considered in the CCAP Climate Change Action plan The successful implementation of the CCAP 2020 requires the establishment of dynamic partnerships between the government and key stakeholders in Québec society. Accordingly, the Québec government is relying on the contribution from communities, which, through their power of influence over land occupancy and urbanization, are at the forefront of the fight against climate change. The government is also relying on the initiative and dedication of individuals and civil society to commit themselves, mobilize and take action to reduce our carbon footprint and collective vulnerability. It also acknowledges the essential contribution made by institutions and research organizations that are engaged in technological innovation, which are providing solutions to adaptation and developing and disseminating knowledge on climate change in our society. The private sector must be on the lookout for best practices in the realm of sustainable development in order to move resolutely toward a future that is less reliant on carbon, for the benefit of the economy and jobs. The attainment of the GHG reduction objectives must become a genuine societal project. 8
17 A willingness to work together and engage in consensus building with respect to climate change is emerging throughout Québec. The joint declaration signed by over 150 stakeholders representing municipal federations, municipalities, the RCMs, transportation companies, the RCEOs, NGOs, unions, and so on at the Forum québécois sur l énergie held in 2011 is a striking example. The signatories acknowledge that Québec must resolutely commit itself to reducing its dependence on oil and make it the cornerstone of its GHG emission reduction strategy. They also undertake to carry out concrete measures in this respect. Le CCAP 2020 intends to build on this willingness to act in all regions of Québec and in all sectors. 1.3 The choice of priorities for the CCAP 2020 The 30 priorities of the CCAP 2020 make up a coherent, structuring whole, the choice of which was guided by the principles of sustainable development and by the scope of the contribution to the attainment of objectives respecting GHG emission reductions or adaptation to climate change. The following factors must also be considered: The priorities of the CCAP 2020 are varied. They include financial support measures such as grants or loans that shorten the period of return on investment (PRI) of GHG reduction projects both for businesses and for individuals. Certain priorities are of a regulatory nature. They usually complement the economic support measures and provide for a time limit to enable the market and individuals to prepare themselves. Initiatives aimed at worker training, guidance for businesses, the acquisition of knowledge and technological development in all sectors covered by the CCAP 2020 are also included. Lastly, measures aimed at awareness-raising, citizen engagement and the education of young people round out the type of initiatives presented in the CCAP Through their synergy, the priorities are spurring a gradual transformation of markets, practices and individual and collective behaviour. They will make Québec less reliant on carbon and more resilient to climate change impacts. the preventive dimension and the sustainability of the initiatives and their impact; reinforcement of the internalization of costs; reinforcement of efficiency and economic competitiveness; the accountability of all stakeholders in Québec society; the coherence and complementarity of government intervention. Among the criteria used to select priorities aimed at reducing GHG emissions, the cost per ton of GHG reduced or avoided was considered in order to maximize investments and the anticipated gains as regards climate change. However, account was also taken of the structuring nature of the investments and the attendant social, economic and environmental benefits. These criteria justify the choice of initiatives whose implementation cost per ton of GHG reduced is higher than that of others, while paving the way in the long term to decisive shifts in GHG emission reductions. This is true of the priorities focusing on intermodality in freight transportation, sustainable urban planning or the enhancement of industrial processes. 9
18 2 PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE: ENSURE SUSTAINABLE LAND-USE PLANNING, INNOVATE, MOBILIZE AND LEAD THE WAY TO REDUCE OUR GHG EMISSIONS AND ADAPT In the realm of climate change, Québec is looking to the future beyond It is in this perspective that we are relying on certain key sectors to support sweeping medium- and long-term changes both in respect of GHG emission reductions and adaptation to climate change impacts: land-use planning, research and development, citizen engagement, and public administration. Investment in these sectors will also broaden the scope of and spinoff from other sectorial measures devoted to GHG reduction and adaptation to climate change. 2.1 Ensure sustainable land-use planning Québec communities at the forefront With a growing footprint on the territory that persists from generation to generation, we must develop our living environments in a sustainable way. Decisions and initiatives pertaining to land-use planning significantly affect GHG emissions stemming from individual travel, construction and infrastructure maintenance but also the degree of vulnerability of Québec communities to climate change. Land-use planning is, therefore, a matter of priority both to reduce GHG emissions and adapt to climate change. In order to reduce GHG emissions, planning differently the development of our cities and towns implies, in particular, increasing their density near public transit corridors, consolidating existing urban and village cores, promoting local services and mixed usage. The application of these principles will reduce the distances to be travelled between the home, the workplace, businesses and the sites of leisure activities, thereby reducing individual travel needs. This area of intervention is important since urban sprawl in Québec has contributed to increasing GHG emissions resulting from the use of automobiles by increasing the distances to be travelled. Urban sprawl also makes it harder and costlier to extend mass transit systems. In order to reverse this trend, we must plan sustainable mobility in conjunction with land-use Québec s vision for land-use planning in the context of climate change By 2020 and beyond, in particular through legislation and taxation that promote GHG emission reductions, Québec municipalities will have halted urban sprawl by hinging their development on densification near mass transit routes and the establishment of local services. Québec municipal bodies and communities have pinpointed their vulnerability and reduced their exposure to climate risks by integrating adaptation to climate change into their territorial planning and risk management. planning, and vice versa. In short, to coherence of government and municipal intervention in this respect is essential. In addition to reducing the need for travel, properly organized urban densification limits at the source the need for additional infrastructure such as roads, water supply systems, sewers and public lighting while maximizing the use of existing infrastructure. This leads to lower construction and maintenance costs for communities and the attendant reduction in GHG emissions Climate Change Action plan 10
19 Land-use planning is also central to the process of adapting to climate change impacts. The choices that we are making today in this field will affect Quebecers future well-being. They will have a significant impact on the level of risk for communities linked to climate change. Recent flooding and heavy rains and their consequences (flooded homes, the evacuation of residents) reveal that it is essential to integrate concern about climate change into current and future landuse planning practices and risk management. This will limit the consequences of and costs resulting from climate change. Priority 1: Foster sustainable land-use planning of the territory in a perspective of combating climate change Through the revision of the legislation respecting land-use planning and development, the government will define new policy directions aimed at the municipal sector that will reflect its willingness to act in the realms of climate change and sustainable development. The government policy directions will take the form of objectives and expectations to be considered in land-use planning and development plans not only with regard to GHG reduction but also in fields closely linked to adaptation to climate change, including the security of individuals and property, integrated water resource management, and the preservation and maintenance of biodiversity. In order to guide the communities in this approach and the implementation of impending Sustainable Regional and Local Land Use Planning Act, the government will elaborate and make available to them tools, training and technical guidance. This will reinforce the coherence of government intervention that affects organization of the territory and land-use planning. Furthermore, the government will take steps to acknowledge exemplary municipal initiatives with regard to the sustainable development of communities. The government will examine the potential of various tools, such as municipal taxation, which might facilitate the attainment of climate change objectives, e.g. by promoting urban densification, the consolidation of existing urban and village cores, and sustainable mobility. Priority 2: Support municipal and community initiatives to reduce GHG, adapt to climate change, and engage in sustainable land-use planning For several years, the government has financially supported through the Climate Municipalities Program municipal bodies that wish to take stock of their GHG emissions and elaborate an action plan to reduce them. The program has broadened knowledge of the sources of emissions in Québec municipalities and revealed the niches in which significant GHG reduction can be contemplated. The implementation of concrete climate change measures is now the priority of the CCAP 2020 to enable Québec municipalities to contribute actively to Québec s climate change objectives and also benefit from the numerous attendant advantages. The Climate Municipalities Program will, therefore, be enhanced to more extensively guide municipal bodies in pursuing their approach. It will offer financial support to implement concrete GHG reduction measures in the sectors of activity that fall under their jurisdiction. In order to better take adaptation into account at the local and regional levels, the government will also provide support to enable them to pinpoint vulnerabilities in their territory with respect to climate change and to integrate them into their current planning. Beyond the measures aimed at immediate GHG emission reductions, the Québec government will also support the municipalities that wish to invest in the sustainable development of their communities, in a context of climate change. Accordingly, the municipalities may benefit from financial support to design land-use planning tools and elaborate real estate or land-use planning projects bearing in mind climate change. The conception of sustainable development projects such as eco-neighbourhoods, the revitalization of town cores and central neighbourhoods, densification and requalification, and so on, will also be supported. Support for such projects will be subject to cross-compliance requirements such as density thresholds, functional mix and plant cover. Financial support may also be offered to implement targeted adaptation solutions with respect to urban drainage, e.g. porous pavement, grassed ditches, filter belts and green roof systems. These rainwater management measures will control inflows of water at the source in residential, commercial, urban and other environments. They also offer 11
20 worthwhile co-benefits from the standpoint of adaptation to climate change, in particular with respect to combating the impact of heat on health and the preservation of biodiversity in our living environments. Account will be taken of the conditions specific to urban and rural environments when CCAP 2020 programs intended for the municipal sector are designed. Since all risks associated with climate change cannot be reduced by prevention, it is important to establish preparatory measures that will enable us to intervene effectively when disasters occur. Québec will, therefore, adopt an early warning system that will strengthen the response capacity of communities in the event of a disaster. The system will quickly transmit warnings to communities at risk, alert them and provide them with advice on the procedures to be followed Climate Change Action plan Priority 3: Promote risk management that minimizes the vulnerability of communities To minimize vulnerability and strengthen Québec society s resilience, adaptation to climate change must be considered not only in land-use planning but also in risk management. For this purpose, the government will invest to immediately encourage the municipal sector and other stakeholders in civil security to take into account climate change in their activities. To this end, financial support may be granted to municipal bodies and Aboriginal communities to enable them to intervene in their territories to prevent climate change-related disasters. Structural interventions such as the protection of homes or the displacement of infrastructure and buildings may also be supported when the risk of disasters related to climate change threatens public safety and the integrity of buildings and infrastructure. In the realm of civil protection, certain systems are deemed to be essential since a service interruption, e.g. drinking water, electricity, telecommunications or roads, could seriously affect the health and safety of individuals and communities, the continuity of economic and government activities, and the preservation of natural environments. Some examples are transportation, power transmission or drinking water distribution networks. To avoid the occurrence of such interruptions, the government will pinpoint threats to these essential systems and establish solutions that will protect them and make them more robust. This will depend, in particular, on the strengthening of the national civil protection plan, which guides the government s response in the event of a disaster. 2.2 Innovate Develop knowledge and technology Research and innovation enable us to better understand our environment and find technical, economic and social solutions to the challenges that we are facing. They are essential against a backdrop of climate change. Québec already has an array of programs and measures aimed at fostering technological research and development through various phases of the innovation chain. There are also programs that affect demand for technology, in particular in the realm of energy efficiency, biomethanization, and new processes. However, additional efforts must be made with regard to marketing, i.e. at the stage that follows demonstration, since experience has shown that technologies designed in Québec may find it difficult to complete this stage. 12

Another summer memory in the making! Literally. I woke the teens up at 7:00 a.m. loaded them into the X-terra, met up with some friends, went to a nearby orchard and we picked us some yummy peaches...sticky juice running down our chins, as it is totally legal to nibble while plucking! As if that wasn't enough fun, we stopped and got some jars, a 10 lb. bag of sugar and high tailed it back to the kitchen. Oh yeah, this little Mama made some … [Read more...]

My wife and I shared the last three days at Farrell House Lodge. It was a celebration of our wedding anniversary and my birthday. What a unique gem! Settled quietly amidst fruit farms and wineries, it's so private yet so close to Put In Bay, Catawba, Cedar Point, and so many fine places to visit. The neatly kept grounds and the serenity of well populated trout streams can deter the most avid tourist from leaving the property to go elsewhere. Doug, Dugan and Stephanie treated us as if we were royalty. They even placed a vase of roses in our room as an anniversary gift. These are very special people providing a very special B&B experience.

My wife and I have stayed at Farrell House Lodge twice this year. She somewhat reluctantly agreed to accompany me there in August while I was fly fishing for Trout. Once she saw the beauty of the facility and experienced the services provided by the friendly staff, she suggested we return again. The Lodge and grounds are beautiful and she walked for miles during our stays there. Fall foliage was beautiful for our Oct. 16-17 stay. She says we will return.

We stayed overnight at the Farrell House in early-October while we were in the Marblehead area for a friend's wedding. This B&B is truly the best one we've ever experienced...it's quite charming and relaxing. The owner and staff are exceptional, very friendly and helpful. The 130-acre property is wonderful to walk and a delight to experience.

Just this past weekend (9/2014) we had the pleasure of spending 2 nights at the Farrell House Lodge with 2 other couples. Wow, what a treasure. If ever in the area there should be only one place to consider staying! From the amazing staff to the gracious owner, Doug - everyone was engaging and kind. The grounds are breath taking, make sure you take time to visit the very impressive and very old Oak on the property and enjoy all the luxuries Farrell House has to offer. I believe the Farrell House is just how traveling and vacationing was ment to be!

What a find! We don't fish but I absolutely love the grounds and the ponds filled with trout. It was such a peaceful place to relax with rustic elegance. The rooms were decorated beautifully and clean. The owner graciously moved us to another room when (Room 2) had a mattress softer than I cared for. Breakfast was adequate. There was a nice choice of wines and beers, available in the evening, on the honor system. We chose this over hotels that all seems fairly ordinary, and this was a great location to which we will return. Steve and Eileen Litchfield, Greenville Ohio

Our family was fortunate to stay at Farrell House Lodge at Sunnybrook Trout Club the weekend of my daughter's wedding held at nearby Mon Ami Winery. It was so wonderful to have all 20 of us staying together, celebrating this joyous occasion. The wedding of course was the highlight of the weekend, but our stay at the Farrell House added so much to our family's celebration. We felt like we were living in our own grand southern mansion! The grounds were stunning which made for amazing pictures. Some of us enjoyed fishing and using the row boat and the paddle boat on the lake. Others gathered in the game room to play pool and others savored the chance to relax on the rocking chairs overlooking the serene trout stream. There was something for everyone to enjoy. The house was so beautiful and well kept. Each family group was able to have their own rooms with bathrooms attached for privacy, and then we were all able to gather together as a family in the dining room, main living room and outside deck area. It was just perfect! The staff could not have been more accommodating. They were all so kind and went out of their way to make our stay as wonderful as it could possibly be. The food was delicious and the breakfast buffet they provided the morning after the wedding was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We all want to return for a family reunion in the future and I'm sure my husband and I will be back for a weekend away. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we visit the Port Clinton/Sandusky area again. Thank you, Doug, and your entire staff!

A group of friends has met at Farrell House Lodge on several occasions. The three most recent at Christmastime. A lovely setting and tiptop service! Even came downstairs in the morning to a beautiful fire blazing in the fireplace. Totally enjoy this bed and breakfast and looking forward to many more stays there.

Doug is a hands on owner with a love for this property and an ability to make your stay the awesome. The home and grounds are beautiful. If you want to rest and spend time alone in the beauty of God's nature but close to everything, this is for you. We had such a great time and plan on coming back to enjoy all of the grounds, bridges and beauty. Not to mention spending more time talking with Doug. They even placed our motorcycles in a garage out of the rain. See you next summer Doug. Jimmy, Catherine, Therese and Bill

My husband and I recently spent two nights at the lodge. What a wonderful experience! Doug was so hospitable, as was the rest of the staff that we encountered, Chef Greg and Stephanie. We blindly made the reservation after viewing the website and reading the positive reviews. This is the best kept secret ever. The lodge has been beautifully restored and cleaner than any place we have ever visited. We walked the 130 acres of land only to become more enchanted with the grounds and trout stream. We would highly recommend the lodge and will be visiting many times in the future. Cindy and Randy, Ohio
