| 9.1 | Bottled Water in City Facilities At the meeting of December 11, 2017, Mayor Sendzik provided notice of the following motion:
Whereas previous St. Catharines City Councils have passed motions banning plastic water bottles at all municipally-owned and operated facilities and endorsed the principles of banning plastic bottled water to reduce waste and promote municipal drinking water as a safe, convenient and affordable alternative; and
Whereas the list of Canadian and international municipalities, colleges, universities, schools, and public institutions that have banned plastic bottled water continues to grow; and
Whereas the City of St. Catharines continues to offer plastic bottled water for sale at City facilities, in meetings, at public events, despite the direction of successive Councils in 2007, 2011 and 2012; and
Whereas environmental sustainability is one of the pillars of Council’s Strategic Plan with a goal to lead in the protection of our environment for future generations; and
Whereas the City of St. Catharines has invested in municipal drinking water infrastructure in City facilities and refill stations are part of normal practice, as funding and redevelopment opportunities are available; and
Whereas, the City of St. Catharines has implemented a Drinking Water Quality Management System to ensure safe, high quality drinking water; and
Whereas the St. Catharines water distribution system is fully compliant with the stringent requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act;
Therefore Be It Resolved that the City of St. Catharines bans the sale of plastic bottled water in municipal facilities effective immediately; and
Be It Further Resolved that City Council directs the corporation to prepare a comprehensive plan to fully implement a plastic bottle ban based on best practices in Ontario municipalities and to provide Council with an implementation strategy, budget, implications for existing contracts and agreements, communications plan, and education strategy with timelines for implementation.
