Chris Simon Shares His Colorado Experience

25th Annual Wawa Ice Fishing Derby Article & photos by Ashley Omolida One of the biggest events in Wawa has come and gone and still proves to be huge.

For 25 years, the Wawa Ice Fishing Derby had another very successful year with participants from all over.

Registration started on Friday, March 4th from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Walking into the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre, it was packed. We made our way to our line to register and being able to pick out a Wawa Ice Fishing Derby t-shirt for being a participant. We then made our way to the Fireman’s Draw tickets table that was set up. The AJ’s Pizza girls Nicole Ralph and Carole Moisan were set up beside them selling slices of pizza to those waiting and wanting a delicious snack. We walked over to check out the shiny, new prizes. Seeing some old faces and catching up. The smiles, laughter and eagerness from everyone in there was radiating. One of the best things to experience about Derby weekend.

The frozen lake turns into a little town of its own on that beautiful Saturday morning with families, buddies and the single fishermen who set out to their huts for a chance to win a pretty great prize. This year, I decided to not go out fishing but to stay off the ice with my daughter. We first set out to the Michipicoten

“Things are going really well,” said Wawa’s own Chris Simon who is enjoying the wonderful recognition of all the great times and memories that came from playing with hockey greats in the NHL and KHL for several years.

Chris recently returned from playing in the Stadium Series Alumni Game on February 26th between the Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings at Coors Field – in the baseball field - in Denver, Colorado. “Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings had a rivalry when I played with them,” shared Chris. “It continued on for many years when both teams had a real hatred for each other. After 20 years of having this ongoing battle they decided to bring back the guys who were the original founders of this battle, all the players who were a part of the 1996 Stanley Cup. We played against the Detroit Alumni also.

At the end we saluted the fans together and then we took a team picture with both teams together – burying the hatchet. It was a great event! To play in front of over 40,000 people. I never had that experience before. I’ve never played in an outdoor game during my career then the following day they had current players play in the afternoon. We got to watch that too.”

“I don’t know who was happier her or I,” shared Chris who took along his oldest daughter Sierra.

"It was a great experience but the best part was being able to share it with one of my children, especially one of my daughters. To experience that feeling with how you feel when you are a player in the NHL. It was a unique experience – they pretty much rolled out the red carpet for you wherever you go. It’s not the real world we live in today, but I think, at her age, to be able to experience that and for me with her was the best part of it all. To experience the

excitement of getting ready for the game, having a meal with all the team. It was fun! We won that championship 20 years ago”.

Chris also met up with old friends in Colorado. “It was a special group. This year we got another Colorado jersey with #12 and Simon on it, to see the amount of people for the game was a bit overwhelming. When I was out there skating around and just being back. You know it’s going to be on TV. Adam Foote was there, Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg, Mike Ricci, Mike Keane, one of my line mates Curtis Leschynshyn, Raymond Bourque was there, Patrick Roy was our goalie, Just to look at the Detroit roster when I saw the guys – Steve Yzerman was there, Brendan Shanahan, Dino Ciccarelli. There were 18 plus Hall of Famers that were playing in that game. It was special for me to be a part of that, to be invited into the type of environment where it was going to be broadcast all around North America. There were media from Russia, Nicolas Lidstrom came over from Sweden to play Valerie Kamesky came from Moscow.

There were guys from all over the world that came just to play in this game.

The game was organized by Colorado. Joe Sakic was one who

made all the phone calls. The way Joe was respected throughout his career, how great of a person he is, he was a true leader. I try to share with the kids that the greatest player in the game are leaders and leaders help others become leaders. When Joe asked me to go, there was absolutely no hesitation. I wanted to be a part of that and we got to see a lot of the staff from Colorado when I was playing there and they are still there.

A lot of them came over to say Hello.”

This is Chris’ year as he is being inducted in the Little NHL Hall of Fame in Mississauga, Ontario on March 12th, 2016. “The Little NHL is an all native hockey tournament that I played in in the 80’s. I was one of the players who moved on to the National Hockey League. I was 14.”

Chris Simon is also being inducted in the 2015 Sault Ste Marie Hockey Hall of Fame. He along with Denny Lambert and Marty Turco have contributed enormously to the sport of hockey in Sault Ste. Marie. “Denny and I will both go in next year. It will be during a Greyhound game.”

So Chris Simon, you do Wawa proud. Enjoy your year!

What is Chris Doing Now? Chris remains involved in coaching the Wawa Mustangs Girl’s Hockey team. He is also developing a Hockey Program that works for all youth. “What I would like to do is work with all youth, but where I would like to go is in Northern Ontario where there is no other NHL guys that do that. My thing is trying to make things available for all kids, not just kids that live in the bigger cities or whose parents can afford to send them everywhere. I’d like to bring hockey to isolated communities.” Not only would Chris provide hockey knowledge and know how, but develop presentations that teach youth about nutrition, bullying, self-confidence, all things that are a part of life. “Those are the things I share with kids. We’re building a website, we have some marketing strategies that we are working on.”

Stay tuned!

“Carrying the message of Love” with Joan Brooks

On Being The Calm In The Eye Of The Storm

...continued from page 1.

We left to go for a ride down to the lake to check it out the ice town. We parked across from the Beachfront Trading Post to watch the people on the lake. Others were parked too watching the busy lake. It was amazing to watch the snowmoblies, ATV’s and even Argo’s racing up and down the lake, to and from their ice huts. The kids playing together in the snow, rolling around and chasing each other. People sitting around their holes hoping for the big one. We set off home to make supper for the fishermen in our life.

The Saturday night derby dance was started off with the big event, the drawing of the 2016 Registration Prize, a 2016 Dodge RAM 1500 4x4 Quad Cab. The lucky winner was John Nelson Jr. from Wawa with #0727.

Congratulations! Other registration prizes were: • iPad Air donated by Brookfield Renewable Power won by David Greaves - Gladin, MI • Fishing Gear Draw #1 donated by Canadian Tire Wawa won by Guerino Trovarello - Wawa • Fishing Gear #2 donated by Canadian Tire Wawa won by Sandy Charbonneau - Wawa • 2017 Derby, 2 Night Stay at Wawa Motor Inn won

donated by Wawa Home Builing Centre won by Kelsey Kelly - Sault Ste. Marie, ON Congratulations to you all!

The arena was rocking with the band Obsession playing all night. People were dancing to the music, talking and catching up with old friends and new ones with a beverage or two. People stood by the prizes admiring them and hoping for another chance the next day.

Sunday was another great day. More fish were brought in and weighed and added to the board. Everyone awaited the results and a view of the fish. The results are unofficial and at the time of our deadline have not been officially posted (we will have them printed in next weeks issue). The Free Entry to the 2017 Wawa Ice Fishing Derby was Jody Gregory Sault Ste. Marie, ON with #0370. Everyone looked like they had a great weekend of fishing and the derby was another huge success. I had heard of people talking about next years derby already with excitement and eagerness.

Wawa is lucky to be able to host a huge event like the Wawa Ice Fishing Derby and we thank everyone with the Wawa Ice Fishing Derby Committee and the sponsors for another great year! For all of the hard work and dedication that goes into this, it is well worth it. Thank you.

Oh my goodness, this title popped out of an online blog that captures my attention and speaks loudly. Oh yes, with today’s technology, we see the continuing chaos that is engulfing our planet. It does no good to think about what we can do to ensure our little corner of the world remains somewhat safe – for this present time. Anything we can do locally radiates out into the rest of the universe – like a pebble on a pond. So what can we do besides allowing the dismal news to create havoc within ourselves?

Perhaps the greatest gift we can give the world, says Ted Murray, is the clearing out of our own fears and blocks to Love and to not allow the outside stimuli of fear to distract us. Just one person can hold a high vibration of Love in spite of fear-based circumstances on the planet. We can impact the entire planetary vibration.

Even better, he says, is that if we can join with others in holding that vibration the power of that vibration can truly shift the energy of the planet. When we all take responsibility for our own clarity and resonance and translate that into responsibility for co-creating our vision of a new world then who knows how quickly things can change and the chaos lead to a wonderful transition on our planet.

Interesting isn’t it? And as I wrote the last paragraph

I thought of Wawa and its annual fish derby. There was certainly lots of vibration from the many participants and, of course, their snowmobiles. However, perhaps the best way we can serve the planet is to remain optimistic, Loving, and joyful regardless of what is going on outside.

We are being called to be the calm at the eye of a storm and hopefully to prevent others from totally freaking out.

When you can be in Joy and recognize the value of a more compassionate and Loving world, then you allow others to see from a different perspective. Please join me.

And here is what I did on this day to remain calm despite negative vibrations that rocked my world yesterday. YES, I had another lesson delivered to me full measure. At first I feared that old depression. I grieved my old life, those younger years when I was actively involved in my community, when I didn’t have to stop and become aware of the numerous choices one is reminded of when I’m down in the ‘dumps’. The upside is that I allowed myself to grieve the Life that was before that transformative experience, that gave me the tremendous gift of awareness.

I can’t go back! Life is good!

Here are some choices that brought me a wonderful calm.

That brought me joy, and compassion and lots of Love.

One was during my morning

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

walk and seeing and hearing snowmobiles on their way to their fishing holes. They waved, there was the smell of fuel, the vibration of the machines, that brought me many awesome memories of when I raced snowmobiles – the Powder Puff races, oh my goodness, so long ago and so much fun, and I usually won.

This was an awesome start to my day. Another was my morning meditation and my Qigong practice – those two hours were Present moments full of Spirit, Love and Joy. And then what about watching my two favorite sports with two of my favorite teams – curling with Northern Ontario team who is on top of the 12 teams as I write. Then there was my Toronto soccer club (TFC) who won their first game of the new season, with my favorite player doing his magic – the Atomic Ant, he is called. Now you might ask how these could be relaxing and full of delight.

Well, I will say that I hope the neighbors understand if they heard me shouting, but they wouldn’t have heard the calm and Love within my heart as I simply enjoyed each Present moment.

And finally, I lose myself within my newest ‘addiction’ adult coloring books that came about a few weeks ago when my precious 7 year old great-grand daughter came for a visit. To prepare I purchased a few coloring and activities books along with pencils and crayons. I asked if I could color a page with her, and was reminded they had adult coloring books at the Bargain store. Well, the rest is history. Wow. The sun is shining, the snow is disappearing. Life is Good! ‘til next time…this is joan

Tapping Into The Sweetness Of The Season Celebrate Maple Syrup - Ontario’s First Outdoor Crop of the Year Embrace Ontario's food heritage with a trip to a local maple syrup producer to try some sweet, local and delicious maple syrup. With the wide variety of locally made maple products available to Ontarians, there's a maple syrup colour and flavour intensity to please everyone's taste.

During Ontario's maple harvest season, mid-February to early April, more than two million litres of syrup is produced. With over $32 million in maple product sales last year, Ontarians aren't just using this natural sweetener to top their pancakes anymore, but are using it in a variety of new and unique ways.

This year Foodland Ontario is encouraging Ontarians to experiment in their kitchens with new and exciting recipes for maple and mustard pork tenderloin, maple chicken with napa salad, maple-garlic spareribs and cabbage, and maple baked beans.

Supporting local maple syrup products is part of the

government's economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes investing in talent and skills, including helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education.

The plan is making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario's history and investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement.

QUICK FACTS • Maple syrup, made from the sap of primarily sugar, black, soft and red maple trees, is a completely natural product with no additives, and is a source of several vitamins and minerals.

• Take part in an educational maple tour where you

can learn more about how this tasty treat is made.

• Maple syrup festivals offer fun, family activities throughout April.

• The annual Maple Weekend runs through April 2 – 3,find a location near you.

• On January 1, 2016, amended maple regulations came into effect on how maple syrup is graded, classified and labelled.

QUOTES "Ontario is home to over 2,700 producers from Windsor to Thunder Bay. While maple syrup production has evolved over the centuries, the natural, sweet flavour of pure maple syrup has not changed. I hope that every Ontarian has an opportunity to take part in a local maple syrup festival this year to celebrate this delicious product and the maple syrup producers who help to bring it to our tables to enjoy."

— Jeff Leal, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs

Common Redpolls in my Crabapple Tree round but Pine Grosbeaks are strictly winter visitors like the Redpolls. The male Pines are a gorgeous red. Since we almost never have Cardinals up here, the male Pines are my 'Red Bird'! Male Evening Grosbeaks are stunning as well, being mostly bright lemon yellow with black and white. They have a bright yellow 'head band' too. The females of both species are mostly shades of muted grays so as to avoid attention when on the nest.

I have Blue Jays and Gray Jays visiting daily but their visits are now slowing down as it is nesting season for the Gray Jays (they nest in late winter). Blue Jays have begun their courting season but won't nest until late spring. If you listen closely on the webcam, you will hear the Blue Jays making all kinds of different calls but my Female Evening Grosbeak favourite is what I call the 'Blue at my bird feeders and it streams Jay Growl'. This call is made only worldwide, 24/7 in the winter. The by the females and only during webcam normally runs from early courting season.

I always ask that regular few times per day all winter long. readers let me know what they are seeing as I enjoy hearing stories from other bird watchers so please, don't be shy! My e-mail address is also located under the title above.

It's been incredibly busy at my feeders lately as Redpoll numbers have basically exploded. I'm now averaging 50 to 100+ Redpolls at a time at my feeders. I have 2 nyjer feeders hanging out there and they are pretty much emptied every day.

I'm lucky enough to be able to see 3 to 5 Hoary Redpolls in the mix Female Pine Grosbeak as well. Redpolls are very tiny, exceptionally BUSY little finches, This year, I've seen 3 together (our in constant motion and constant high count is 5) but it's normally 1, chatter! They are wonderful to maybe 2 at a time. They are called have at the feeders. They show the 'Rock Stars' of the webcam as up usually around late November it's so unusual to see Grouse visitand stay until late April, then they ing feeders! head back to their Arctic breeding This week's sightings in the grounds.

Statement On The Retirement Of Gary Lipinski, Métis Nation Of Ontario President

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Minister of Aboriginal Affairs David Zimmer issued the following statement: "Gary Lipinski's distinguished leadership and commitment to advocating for Métis rights and improving the quality of life of Métis people has transformed the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) and left a lasting legacy.

Under Gary's leadership, the Ontario government and the MNO worked together to improve the wellbeing of Métis children, families and communities while working to protect and promote the distinct culture, identity, and heritage of Métis people.

His drive to ensure the Métis people he represented have the opportunities to succeed led to a strengthening of Ontario's relationship with Métis people through such initiatives as the creation and signing of the 2008 MNO-Ontario Framework Agreement and its renewal in 2014; Ontario's ongoing support of the Métis Voyageur Development Fund, announced with MNO in 2011; the declaration of 2010 as the Year of the Métis by the Ontario Legislature and the

passage of the Métis Nation of Ontario Secretariat Act in the Legislature last December.

Since 2008, Gary has worked tirelessly as President to build up the Métis Nation of Ontario. Through investing in Métis people represented by the MNO and a push for financial accountability and transparency, he grew the MNO into a more effective administration that better served its membership. This has allowed the MNO to increase the profile and knowledge of Métis in Ontario, expand MNO's programs and services in

economic development and establish a business arm to lead investments in renewable energy projects across Ontario.

It has been a pleasure to work with Gary over the years and we thank him for his commitment and dedication to the Métis Nation of Ontario. Our collaboration has ushered in a new era of Crown-Métis relationships based on mutual respect, recognition and reconciliation.

Gary will be missed, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavours."

The Grief Journey – A Journey Of Support During Your Loss “Every loss is difficult, but each loss is different… and needs to be grieved.” is a quote from Dr. Bill Webster who developed an educational grief support workshop named “The Grief Journey”.

This eight week program is being offered in Wawa by the Wawa Family Health Team in conjunction with North Algoma Counselling Service.

Brenda Melbourne of Wawa Family Health Team and Aldona Mitrikas of North Algoma Counselling Service first offered this program in the fall of 2012. It was well attended and the clients expressed gratitude for a safe place to talk about their grief.

Some people had multiple losses that were recent, others had difficult losses from several years back and others lost family members such as sisters, brothers, parents and children. The program begins with an educational component about grief and each week there is a new topic such as: Validating the

Feelings of the Grief Process, Grief is a Normal Reaction to Loss, Loneliness and Self Care. The workshop materials use handouts and video from Dr. Webster’s program to provide this educational support group.

The Grief Journey is starting Tuesday March 22nd from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

It is open to adults who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Please register with the Aldona at North Algoma Counselling Service at 705856-2335 extension 3146.

The location of the workshop will be disclosed at the time of registration.

Both Brenda and Aldona were moved by the growth and courage of those people attending the first series of workshops in the 2012. They both shared that it was an honor to witness the respect and caring of the group members towards each other.

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

Carol Hughes, M.P. Algoma-ManitoulinKapuskasing

Why Waukesha Matters I have received correspondence from constituents concerned about Waukesha Wisconsin’s proposal for their water problems, but I would like to raise the issue as one of importance for anyone who is concerned with the Great Lakes because it amounts to a precedence setting case that could have a big impact on the watershed.

Since Algoma-ManitoulinKapuskasing butts up against two of these lakes I would suspect interest in the subject will be high in the area.

Here is the background: the town of Waukesha is dealing with high levels of radium in their drinking water and claim they have exhausted all options available to them. To fix their problem they would like to divert Lake Michigan water as a source of drinking water for the town. This is important because even though Waukesha is a short distance from the Lake Michigan it is actually part of the Mississippi drainage system.

The application is being made under the terms of the Great Lakes Compact which is an entirely American tool governing the waters of the lakes and St. Lawrence system. The Compact bans new diversions with the exception of communities near the basin along with the demand that the water be returned.

Proponents are claiming the diversion will meet the terms of the Great Lakes Compact. Opponents view the request as precedent setting which could open the door for bigger diversions in the future. In addition to that, some opponents are suggesting that Waukesha has

not exhausted all the options available to them and are merely chasing the easiest solution to their problem.

A quick search of the internet will provide pages of links to articles in local papers on the subject. Almost all are written about towns, individuals, or groups opposed to the proposal. Great Lakes mayors on both sides of the border are lining up in opposition as well. The concerns are related to both water levels - a familiar recent issue - and water quality since pristine water will be replaced with treated waste.

Underlying those concerns is the threat of bulk diversion should the Compact be broken. The high profile water crisis in Flint is one example of what may seem a reasonable diversion, but how long would it take for dryer areas of the United States to look at the Great Lakes as a solution to their problems as well?

With 18% of the world’s fresh water the Great Lakes supply may seem limitless, but without exercising a very cautious approach, we could learn there is a limit and at that point it may be too late.

Since the project is confined entirely within the United States, Canada doesn’t have the power to reject the proposal. That said the eight Great Lake states along with Ontario and Quebec will meet to discuss the proposal in late April. In addition to that, Canada has the power to request the International Joint Commission to look into the matter should it become necessary. Obviously it is a situation that must be followed closely. What do you think?

Ride Safe

(SOUTH PORCUPINE, ON) – Winter is well underway and the South Porcupine Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding snowmobile enthusiasts to raise their level of awareness and education about safe snowmobiling.

In 2016, the South Porcupine OPP has already investigated a collision where a snowmobiler struck a motor vehicle while attempting to cross a highway. There was no alcohol or injuries related to this incident.

The OPP also want to stress that it is the law to have the proper documentation readily available on your persons, such as, vehicle registration, vehicle insurance, Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) trail permit and the proper license to be driving a motorised snow vehicle (MSV).

With the March break fast approaching and the anticipated influx of riders on our trails, the OPP is reminding snowmobilers to take charge of their own safety as this is the only way to eliminate snowmobile fatalities.

Keep these tips in mind when you head out on your next ride: • Do not consume alcohol or drugs.

• Ride within the speed limit and within your own ability.

• Slow down at night.

• Take precaution on waterways.

• •

Ride with a companion.

Be prepared for an emergency.

The OPP is committed to saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and waterways, let’s all do our part in ensuring the remainder of winter is enjoyed while being safe.

Is This Man Barking Mad?

Here is a story plucked from my newspaper guaranteed to flutter the cockles of a reader's heart. It concerns two rescue dogs – Chancey, a golden lab, and his pal Kira, a German shepherd. They live in a home belonging to Christian and Monique Etienne, of Airdrie, Alberta. Mister and Mrs. Etienne love Chancey and Kira very much. That's why they didn't go postal when Chancey and Kira ripped open a package of scone mix and scattered it all over the house.

No, Mister Etienne just sighed a 'dogs will be dogs' sigh and went to a nearby gas station to rent a carpet cleaner. While he was signing it out, Mister Etienne muttered 'What the hell' to himself and bought a Lotto 6-49 ticket. The Etiennes cashed that ticket in last week.

For $14.5 million.

Isn't that a heart-warming story? When I came across it I liked it so much I read it out loud in my living room to the resident mooch.

I am a Mooch Enabler. I feed, house and entertain an unabashed freeloader who has never contributed a bent nickel or a bead of sweat to her upkeep. I work to earn the money to keep her in bliss and comfort twenty-four hours a day.

In return she eats, sleeps, eats again, sleeps some more, rising only to check the food situation, contributing nothing other than occasional noxious emissions for which I, as often as not, get blamed. Did I say I was a Mooch Enabler?

Make that Pooch Enabler.

My freeloader is a fourteen and a half-year old Golden Retriever/Border Collie cross.

She answers, when she can be bothered to respond at all, to 'Woolly'. She does not respond

to bills from the vet, the pet food department of the local grocery store. She has menials (read, me) to handle pesky details like that.

And it's not cheap. Thank goodness Woolly can't read. If she could she'd be barking for a bowlful of Hapuna Luau every night. It's a can that contains sweet potatoes, crab, garlic and kale plus I'm not making this up wild-caught ahi tuna – and yes, it is labelled as dog food.

Speaking of bowls, Woolly gets her chow in a slightly cracked deep saucer that's seen better days, but if I was slightly cracked (and stupidly rich) I could serve her dinner in a Barocco porcelain pet bowl decorated in 22 Karat gold filigree by Versace ($795 US plus tax).

Pets are expensive, even without the Versace bowls and the ahi tuna dinners. The Ontario Veterinary Medical Association calculates that a 40-pound dog that lives for 13 years will cost its owner upwards of $28,000 for food, vet services, grooming and such. Experts reckon Americans spend more that $30 billion a year on pet food alone, never mind the extras like pet sitters, obedience training and rhinestone collars that flash in the dark.

One night I heard a comedian talking about a Canadian pet pyschologist who's selling a video that will test your dog's IQ. “Here's how it works.” the comedian said. “If you spend $12:95 on the video, your dog is smarter than you are.”

Sheesh. Twelve-ninety-five.

For a dog video. Do I have SUCKER stamped on my forehead?

Do you think that includes shipping?

NUTS ‘N’ BOLTS

Opinions, or observations from an old newsman - by Bob Avis

Nothing To Talk About Here I am once again, sitting here looking at a blank sheet of paper wondering what I should write on it. I’ve been here many times before and I’ve even done considerable moaning about the situation and how difficult it can be to produce a column every week, week after week.

Sometimes the old brain simply shuts down and refuses to produce anything useful.

The rare times I’ve had any problem at my opposite end there’s no problem. A good laxative solves it in a short time.

Now, if there was just something that would produce the same result for my brain …

Maybe there is. Donald Trump seems to have no trouble producing crap from his brain.

Usually I can dream up some ridiculous subject to expound on like the times I burned up this space with a discourse on the way people spend time and effort on dressing up the entryway to their house with their best knick-knacks, paintings or special bits of furniture, then make sure everyone uses the back door, past the overflowing boot & coat closet and on through the kitchen and into the dressed up living room where you get to look at all the treasures of the home from the backside first.

Usually near the beginning of the year I get in a long, confusing column about Roman numerals. These are meant to show my interest in how the new year looks expressed in the Roman “letter” numbers and rarely used expect for a lot of legal certificates, etc. and at the end of movie credits seemingly as a matter of custom.

Another fail safe subject when there’s nothing better to talk about is the weather … how nice it’s been, how lousy it’s been, whatever. But what do you do with a season like the current one?

Well, it’s been cold a little – not too bad, warm a little – not all that good, sloppy a little – not too bad, been enough ice on the lake for the Ice Fishing Derby. It’s been a kind of “nothing” winter, not much to talk about. “My point exactly!”

Then, of course, there’s always my favourite subject, the cats. People have often indicated to me that they enjoy news from Bob’s Cat House. It may seem difficult to believe but my cats, Summer and Sam, talk to me and to each other. I am not entirely fluent in Cat-ese but we all understand each other to varying degrees.

I often watch the cats and rudely listen in as they interact. The two of them were arguing about possession of a woolly ball they both like. Now these two cats are opposites in just about every way. Sam is a large gold and white male, even tempered, slow and not exactly a genius. Summer is a small, black female who likes to cuddle up to her humans, but won’t put up with anything she doesn’t want to. And I have to say she’s more than average smart.

The argument of the day over the woolly ball was going something like this … “It’s my ball!”

“No. It’s my ball!” “But I want to play with it”. “No. I want to play with it”. “It’s mine!” …well you can see how it was going.

Suddenly Summer stopped, peered across the room and told Sam she could see a mouse way over in the corner of the dining room. Sam, of course, jumped up and darted off to look for the mouse. Sam doesn’t know girl cats can lie.

By the time he realized there was no mouse and came back to the living room he had forgotten the woolly ball. As Summer walked past a few minutes later, I heard her mutter, “Dumb as a bag of rocks!”

2016 Budget: Another Disappointment Once Again

As we all are aware, yesterday, February 25th, the Liberal government presented their 2016 budget. In the lead up to the budget, New Democrats travelled the province and spoke to Ontarians about their primary concerns. Ontarians were hoping for a bigger and better change towards the economy, healthcare and education; unfortunately we will see the opposite. Similar to last year’s budget, the liberals made many promises for a brighter future, yet none were kept. The words look good on paper, but we know too well that their actions will not reflect any real change.

We are all hoping that this budget would make for more jobs, better healthcare, and a great support for families across Ontario. Premier Wynne, unfortunately, forgot all about those important aspects. What we will be seeing in fact are fewer jobs, day by day. How ironic is it that the budget is called “Jobs for Today and Tomorrow.” The liberals love twisting facts around to make things seem positive for us. Phrases such as “Free Education”, “Lower Costs” flood the headlines, but that is all for a price. Students’ families who make less than the projected amount will receive help to pay for their school; however what is the cost for that? Gas, wine, and healthcare costs are going to increase. The price to fill up our gas tank will increase to the point to where it is inconvenient to drive. In Northern Ontario, we have to drive, especially seeing as the prov-

Know The Risks, Make A Plan!

Want to feel confident that you can keep yourself and your loved ones safe if disaster strikes? Or gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the skills to handle an emergency? At the Red Cross, we call that “preparedness” and we’re here to help you achieve it.

The Canadian Red Cross will host a Personal Preparedness Presentation at the Wawa Seniors Drop-in Center at 63-B Broadway Ave. on Tuesday, March 29th at 1:30 p.m. The presentation will cover topics ranging from; determining risks in your community to the types of disasters that can affect you, and how to develop an emergency evacuation plan.

If you are a senior or have a family member who may be interested, please join us for this informative presentation.

ince has already dismantled our rail. Many seniors have medical needs that need to be attended. Pills and treatments that are needed in order to get better will nearly double in price. Under the Ontario Drug Benefit Program, the annual deductible for most seniors will have increased from $100 to $170, as well as the co-pays will have increased from $6.11 to $7.11. Why should we, especially elders on a fixed income have to suffer and struggle to pay for their own medication?

With this new budget being proposed, it is going to be more of a challenge to make ends meet.

Another huge proponent of our lives is education. Liberals are indeed cutting cuts to education, to the point where kids are freezing and uncomfortable in the classroom and have to wear their winter coats just to sit in class. Parents, myself included, want to know that when our children go to school they are in safe and comfortable learning environment.

Why should schools have to cut costs to the point where heating is not available to our children when needed? Just this year alone, Liberals have cut

Page 7

$430 million from education, and over the past three years, cumulatively, approximately $1.1 billion has been cut out of our children’s education. Vital resources and supports that our students need are being cut out of their daily lives.

After talking to many Ontarians about Hydro-One, our nations’ largest electricity transmission and distribution utility which serves our provinces, more than 80% of people have been against the sell-off of it! However, what are the Liberals doing? Everything but that! They are doing nothing, I repeat, nothing to stop the sell-off. If we continue to let them make decisions for our government, Hydro-One could be gone in the next few years.

Yet another year where the budget has been presented, but nothing seems to change.

A bunch of promises being made, but not being kept. This government has missed out on important targets that should have been key. Among those are job creations, in which instead of building the job sector in our nation, job projections are down by 60,000; GDP growth, employment growth, exports, and lastly, the business investment. What’s next for Ontario?

As always, please feel free to contact my office about this issue or any other provincial matters. You can reach my constituency office by email at mmantha-co@ndp.on.ca or by phone at 705-461-9710/1-800831-1899.

Article by R. Coughlin, RD Did you know that we eat around 100 meals each month?

Take a minute to reflect. How many of the meals that you ate last month were convenience foods? How many were homemade? Did you skip any meals?

Did you eat your vegetables?

March is Nutrition Month.

This year’s theme is about inspiring Canadians with ideas to make small, positive changes to their meals and snacks.

Too many changes at once

can be overwhelming and hard to keep up. It’s better to make one nourishing change that sticks.

First, choose your change.

Think about your eating habits.

Where can you make a positive, easy change? Here are some ideas that can make a big difference: • Fill more of your plate with vegetables.

• Choose whole grain instead of white bread.

• Serve smaller portions.

•

Take A 100 Meal Journey

Enjoy fruit for snacks instead of sweet or salty treats.

• Drink water in place of sugary beverages, like pop.

Need some motivation? Visit nutritionmonth2016.ca to take the pledge to make a small nourishing change this month and to stick with it one meal at a time!

Article by Joan Brooks The Wawa Mustangs are a girl’s hockey team that is in their second year of playing as a team. And for Wawaites that enjoy girls hockey listen up.

They are playing four games this coming weekend in Wawa.

“It’s the first time they’ve played here against an out of town team,” shared Administrator Danette Mathias. “Purple Lightening is a girls’ team from Sault Ste Marie. The Mustangs have played against them the beginning of February. They are well matched – they are just a house league team. But it’s nice to get them here. They are coming for four games.”

The times are Saturday, March 12th 12:00 noon, and again at 6:30 p.m. On Sunday, March 13th the first game is 9:30 a.m. and again at 12:00 noon. “We want to try to get people out to watch them. This year there is 18 girls and one of those girls travels from Marathon to play on the team. When you have people generating girl’s hockey, it can be done. Our goal is to encour-

They are not a REC team, YET! But I’m telling you if these girls can stick together until they are 14-15, they will be a team that will give some good hockey.” Girl’s hockey is the fastest growing sport right now, surpassing boy’s hockey. It’s becoming big.

“They are in their second season and they are under the direction of Head Coach Scott Carruthers. He’s put a lot of time in this year. Chris Simon supports and coaches when he is available. There are a fine group of young girls.

They took part in the carnival parade. They’ve used the outdoor rink and they did a fundraising event for the curling bonspiel, and they like to be out there all together. They sure enjoy each other’s company.”

“We’re really excited to showcase them. I know it’s just exhibition games, but we are treating it as more than that. I really hope the community can come out and support them”.

The Murder On Wawa Lake

It was a cold winter in 1966 and the ice on Wawa Lake was thick that year. You could drive your vehicle, be it car or truck, without any concerns of breaking through, even in March. In January, a group of guys came up with an idea to have a car race up and down the length of the lake, just for some bragging rights of who was the fastest.

Tom Harrington was the driving force for this plan as a way to have some excitement time for one weekend anyway, as well as bringing in some money to the town.

He presented his plan to Council, outlining his ideas.

That included the races on Saturday and Sunday morning, and a cordoned off area around Blueberry Point for a fishing derby during the same time, On Friday night there would be a torch light parade starting on the lake and ending up at the arena, where there would be the official opening, fireworks and a barbecue. Also there would be a dance at the Union Hall on Saturday night.

For the race, he suggested naming it the 'Wawa 500', to mimic the Indy 500 car race.

Qualifying races would be on Saturday morning, and the actual race on Saturday afternoon, with the finals at ten on Sunday.

The award ceremony with the prizes being handed out, and a closing ceremony would be at one that afternoon.

The Reeve and council were quite excited by this idea, and passed a resolution of support, and a donation of $500 towards the prizes and any costs that were incurred.

So the organization of this event began. It was agreed to hold it on the second weekend of March, to tie in with the schools' spring break.

Despite the short period of time to get this all organized, the town got behind it wholeheartedly. Even the weather cooperated, in that it stayed cold, so there was no softening of the snow on the surface to turn into slush. The wind kept the ice swept clean. The lake was a perfect race track.

On the Wednesday before the big weekend, lots of stuff was going on. Tom went to the lake and planted coloured stakes that were made and painted by the high school woodworking class, every few hundred feet to mark the path for the racers to follow. The students came out to help. By the time they had them all placed, it made a perfect oval track to follow. A tent was placed at the far end of the lake that was going to be heated, The Legion agreed to have hot drinks and hot dogs there. Pota-toilets were being placed there too. The Township was going to have staff there with a big board to mark down the leading times and leaders, so the drivers could keep track of their progress. The radio station, CJWA, announced they were going to broadcast on Saturday morning from that end of the lake, and then move to the town end in the afternoon. They were going to cover the finals on Sunday morning,

and then the award ceremony back at the arena. The 3 car dealerships announced that they were going to display their top of the line sports car outside the front entrance to the arena, with draws for such things as oil changes, a set of winter tires, and winter preparedness kits.

Ford would have a Mustang, GM would have a Camaro, and Chrysler would have a Charger.

The restaurants posted their menu specials in their windows.

Most of the stores put out signs announcing draws. The motels advertised special rates for the out-of-towners who booked a room. So all in all, nearly every business in town contributed something.

At noon on the Wednesday, Tom and his friends sat at their table in their favourite restaurant, having lunch and chatting.

Tom was delighted on how this was shaping up. He declared to his other buddies who were helping him out, that this was going to be a great success, and would surely become an annual event. The others wholeheartedly agreed, except for Claude Chartrand. He warned about getting too excited. “Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

It's bad luck. It could still turn out to be a disaster, if say the weather turns bad, or we don't get as many entries as we expect, or we have a crash among the racers. We would be liable for all kinds of lawsuits and insurance claims. By the way, we do have insurance for this, don't we, Tom?” He shrugged his shoulders and nonchalantly said, “Ah, who needs that. Those insurance companies just ruin everything.

Nobody will sue. We are all just in this for fun. Everyone knows that a smashup is just part of the race. Besides it would cost too much anyway. We don't have that kind of money.”

Claude was aghast. He knew he could get a policy set up quite cheaply through his brother and his insurance company. He suggested it to Tom, advising him that it was not too late to get it in place. “Better to be safe than sorry,” he declared. Tom was getting annoyed. He bluntly stated, “If you want to get it, go ahead.

But you will have to pay for it.

And I suppose if you smash up your car, you are going to sue me for a new truck, are you? Well, I would see you dead first before I would pay a penny. This is supposed to be a fun time. Let's not get hung up on this, guys.” Paul Wilson piped up. “I agree with Claude. I gotta admit that I have not even thought about this. It is a good precaution. I sure don't want to be liable, if anything does happen.” Jasper Snowdon spoke next. “And I agree with Tom. It's not necessary. No one will consider suing. Everyone will be here to just have fun, no matter what happens.” The final person then spoke up. That was Arnold Bowman. “No, I agree with both of you, but I think it would be better to have something in place. I will chip in some money to cover the cost, Claude.” Tom swore. “Geez, what a bunch of chickens. Fine,

if that will make you feel better, go ahead.” He snorted, and that brought all conversation to an abrupt end. Several other patrons overheard this heated conversation. Eyebrows were raised, and whispered comments could be seen passing among them. The waitress came with their orders. They ate in silence, and Tom and Claude left separately. The others did chat a bit before leaving together. But it was sure noticeable to everyone that it was a major row they had just witnessed. Friday morning Wawa awoke to a fresh coat of snow on the ground. There was about 4” of that powdery snow.

Fortunately there was no wind at to make drifts or whiteouts. Tom called his friends, and told them he was going out on the lake to plow the path for the race and asked if any of them could help out. Despite the tense mood, they agreed, for the sake of the event. It was agreed that Jasper and Claude would do the north shore of the lake, while Tom and Paul would do the south shore, and they would converge at the east end of the lake, where they would clear off an area around the tent. They headed out about 9 a.m. Both trucks had their plows attached. They met at the tent about 11.

They began clearing the accumulated snow around the tent.

They unloaded the chairs that would be needed for the participants. Tom asked Claude “When are they coming to deliver the propane tanks?” He glared at Tom and tersely declared: “I don't know. You were going to do it, remember. You told me last week that your buddy out there would have them ready, and you would pick them up today. He was giving you a good deal, right.” Tom growled back at him: “I called you yesterday and left a message with your son that I couldn't do it, and asked him to ask you if you could do it for me.” Claude shot back: “Well, I never got the message.

We better get back to town right away, and get out there. I have lots of other things to do today over at the arena, so let's move it.” In his frustration and anger, Tom pushed Claude in the chest, knocking him back a few steps.

“Don't tell me what to do. I am in charge here. This is my baby.

I don't want any screw ups. The only time I have asked you for a favour, and you mess it up.” That was the final insult for Claude.

He charged Tom, and hit his left cheek with his fist. That caught Tom off guard and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Claude jumped on him, and began clobbering him some more in the face. Jasper and Paul intervened at that point, pulling the two of them apart. Paul chided them, “Whoa, break it up. No need for this. I'll get the propane. Settle down, boys.” Once the two of them were separated, they sat on the ice for a few moments, to calm down. Finally Tom spoke to Paul: “Thanks. I appreciate it. I guess that I am more wound up about this than I realized.” He stood up, but then swore at Claude, who was still in the midst of getting up, “Don't you ever sucker punch me like that again, or you will end up the worse for wear.” Jasper and Paul looked at each other, and sighed. They realized a friendship had been destroyed permanently today. They headed back to town in silence.

Friday night came, and the

torch light parade started the weekend off. The participants gathered over at William Teddy Park and criss-crossed the lake and then on to the arena. In a last minute scramble, a hockey game was set up between the Township police and the volunteer firemen. A curling social was also organized. So things were off to a great start, Tom was relieved to see. Unfortunately the rest of the weekend did not go as well.

Early Saturday morning, Tom wanted to check the race track one last time, just to make sure the stakes were still in place, and the track was ready for the racing. He then headed up to the tent at the far end for one last check. That was about 8 a.m.

He sensed something was wrong as soon as he parked his truck. The tent was akilter, and the flaps were tied together with yellow polypropylene rope. He untied them and opened the flaps. He was instantly accosted by the smell of propane. He gasped and put his hands to his face. After taking a deep breath, he poked his head in. He was shocked to see a body on the ice, face down. He quickly moved over to see who it was.

He gasped when he saw it was his friend Claude. He was hardly recognizable as his face was badly battered. It was bloody and swollen. Beside him was a tank of propane, and it was smeared with blood. It made him sick to his stomach. He rushed back outside and threw up. As he was laying on his knees, trying to recover, Paul and two Legion members who were coming to set up their kitchen drove up.

Paul asked Tom what was wrong. He just pointed to the tent. Paul disappeared into the tent, but soon came out. He was ashen faced. He went over to Tom, and asked in a voice of horror: “Tom, what did you do? Did you beat him to death? Please tell me you didn't do it, especially just over this insurance thing.”

Tom, still on his knees, looked up at Paul and swore he didn't do it. The one Legion member just stood there, unsure what to do or say. Finally he piped up to say that they had to get the cops in on this. They all agreed. The other Legion member agreed to stay at the scene of the crime.

The others headed to the police station. Then the action began. The tent was cordoned off as a crime scene. By noon the races were canceled. That also had the effect of messing up everything else.

While all this was going on, Tom was sitting in the Chief's office. The secretary had been called in to take notes during the interview. The officer in charge that day was trying to piece together the events that lead up to this grizzly discovery. He heard about their quarrel. They got interrupted shortly, when another officer poked his head in to tell the interrogator about the races being canceled. Tom blurted out a bizarre declaration: “Leave it to Claude to ruin everything for me. I can't believe he would go this far!”

The interrogator recognized that Tom was having some kind of breakdown, and had lost grip with reality, by not realizing that Claude was dead. However Tom was charged with first degree murder.

By the end of the day on Saturday, the rumor mill was abuzz with the disaster this day

The ALGOMA NEWS Review

had turned into. No one could believe Tom could resort to murder. It just wasn't in his character. The only one who didn't care about that, as it deflected any suspicion away from him, was the real murderer.

It took a few days for the investigation to wrap up. The shift in blame from Tom came after they learned that Claude had last been seen at the torch light parade on Friday night. After more questioning from participants, a list of names was compiled. During the last person's interview, it was revealed that he had noticed a truck heading up the lake as everyone else was heading to the beach. They got a description of the truck in question. Through process of elimination they were able to come up with a name. It surprised them who it was. After some intense interrogation, a confession was obtained.

A new charge of murder was laid, and Tom was released from custody, and his name was cleared. However, he never recovered from this ordeal, and died of a stroke a few months later. The races that he dreamed of coming to Wawa never happened. No one tried to resurrect them, and the whole notion died along with him. Everyone agreed it was a wonderful idea, but nobody wanted to take on the responsibility of spearheading it.

And who was the real murderer of Claude Chartrand? It was Arnold Bowman, one of Tom's best friends. At least he used to be. He had secretly resented Tom's takeover of this racing event. It was he that had put forth the idea to him, and he just took over the thing, and claimed all the accolades. He finally had enough, and planned his revenge. Back in the previous year of 1974 he had a run in with Claude. He prepared income tax forms. He had made a serious error on his forms, and it caused an audit to be performed by the CRA. He ended up having to pay back several thousand dollars for the gas station he owned. So Arnold saw this as the perfect opportunity to 'kill' two birds with one stone, as the saying goes. He had talked Claude into driving with him for the torchlight parade. He had lured him along by saying that he needed to check on the tent once more for the night.

He got him into the tent, and decked him with the tire iron from his truck, to the side of his head. While laying stunned on the ground, he finished him off with the propane tank. He knew that Tom would likely head out early to check things out one last time. Typical Tom stunt, he had declared, showing his deep down hatred. That was a bonus for his scheme, he admitted. But even without that, he was sure Tom would be charged with the murder, thanks in part to their argument back on Wednesday at the restaurant. There were lots of witnesses to see and hear that. He was sure that he was in the clear. But thanks to Paul Wilson, who was the witness to see him heading out away from the parade that Friday night, he was caught. As usual it was a simple mistake of believing no one would notice him heading in the opposite direction of everyone else during that parade, which would be his downfall.

Ontario To Expand Black Bear Hunting Pilot Province Committed to Sustainable Black Bear Management

Ontario is expanding the spring bear hunting pilot to gather further information to assess concerns voiced by northern communities about human-bear conflicts, and to support economic growth and tourism in the north.

The spring bear hunt pilot expansion will include: • Extending the pilot by an additional five years, through 2020 • All 88 wildlife management units that currently have a fall bear hunt • Non-resident hunters.

Under the expanded pilot, it will still be illegal to hunt bear cubs and females with

cubs. Anyone convicted of this offence could face a fine of up to $25,000 and up to one year imprisonment. In most cases, each licensed hunter will only be allowed to hunt one bear in each calendar year.

Baiting of bears during all bear hunting seasons will be regulated to help address public safety concerns, including: • Bait must not be placed within 500 metres of a residence unless written permission is obtained from the residence's owner • Bait must not be placed within 500 metres of a

•

•

•

•

public building Bait must not be placed within 200 metres of a right of way for public vehicle traffic or a marked public recreational trail.

QUICK FACTS Ontario is home to a healthy and sustainable black bear population with up to 105,000 black bears living in the province.

The spring bear hunt pilot will take place from May 1 through June 15, starting in 2016 and ending in 2020.

Currently across Canada, each province and ter-

•

ritory with black bears has a spring and fall bear hunt except Nova Scotia, which only has a fall hunt.

For 2014 and 2015, Ontario held a two-year bear management pilot program in eight wildlife management units, all of which reported high levels of human-bear conflict. The hunt was open to Ontario residents from May 1 to June 15. Communities in and around these units include Timmins, Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and North Bay.

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.

RETAIL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR AN AGENCY STORE IN DUBREUILVILLE, LCBO RFP #2016-107 DUBREUILVILLE An excellent business opportunity is now available to established retailers in Dubreuilville.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is seeking a responsible, customer-focused retailer to operate an LCBO Agency Store in Dubreuilville.

To qualify, the applicant must have an existing, currently operating retail business in the community and commit to operating the Agency store within established LCBO guidelines.

To facilitate the sale of beverage alcohol products, the operator may be required to enter into separate commercial arrangements with the LCBO and domestic beer suppliers. The successful applicant will also be required to participate in a special LCBO server-training program to ensure the responsible sale of beverage alcohol products.

Since 1962, the LCBO has authorized more than 200 Agency stores to serve communities that have requested service but where the local population is too small to support a regular LCBO or beer store. These Agency stores are operated by local retailers within their existing retail business. Agency store contracts are normally awarded for a five-year term. In communities where there is currently an Agency store, as the contract nears expiry, the LCBO will take into consideration the fact that new businesses in the community may have been established and will allow an opportunity for all businesses in the community to compete for the next five-year term.

Operating an LCBO Agency Store provides a retailer with an excellent opportunity to increase revenue and attract customers while providing local residents with beverage alcohol services. Agency stores also deliver economic benefits to the community in many cases through job creation and increased customer traffic for local merchants.

For this competition, the LCBO must receive requests for the application package from interested businesses by mail before end of business day Friday, March 18, 2016.

The application requests must quote the following information: RFP #2016-107 Dubreuilville Request for Application Package Procurement and Contract Management, LCBO 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1404 Toronto, ON M5E 1E5

La Régie des alcools de l’Ontario (LCBO) recherche un détaillant responsable et soucieux du service à la clientèle pour exploiter un magasin-agence de la LCBO à Dubreuilville.

Pour être admissible, vous devez exploiter un commerce de vente au détail déjà établi dans la localité et vous engager à respecter les lignes directrices de la LCBO. Pour faciliter la vente de boissons alcooliques, le candidat choisi pourrait avoir à conclure des ententes commerciales différentes avec la LCBO et avec les fournisseurs de bières canadiennes. Le candidat retenu devra également suivre un programme de formation spécial de la LCBO qui a trait à la responsabilité reliée à la vente des boissons alcooliques.

Depuis l962, la LCBO a autorisé plus de 200 magasins-agences qui desservent les localités qui ont demandé un service de vente d’alcool, mais dont la population est insuffisante pour y établir une succursale régulière de la LCBO ou un magasin de bière. Les magasins-agences sont confiés à des détaillants locaux et s’annexent à un commerce de détail existant. Le contrat d’un magasin-agence est normalement d’une durée de cinq ans. Au cours de la cinquième année d’exploitation d’un magasinagence, la LCBO tient compte des nouveaux commerces établis dans la localité et donne à tous la chance de présenter leur candidature pour le prochain terme de cinq ans.

Un détaillant qui exploite un magasin-agence a la possibilité d’augmenter ses revenus en attirant une clientèle additionnelle tout en offrant aux citoyens de sa localité les produits et services de la LCBO. Un magasin-agence contribue également à l’économie de la localité souvent par la création de nouveaux emplois et par l’augmentation de l’achalandage chez les autres marchands locaux.

New Ontario Student Grant Making Tuition Free For Tens Of Thousands Of Students College and University Becoming More Accessible and Affordable Ontario is making college and university more accessible and affordable for lowand middle-income students and their families through the single-largest modernization ever of the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP).

Premier Kathleen Wynne was at Jarvis Collegiate in Toronto today to present details about the new Ontario Student Grant, which was announced in the 2016 Budget. Under the new grant program, the government will replace a number of existing provincial assistance programs with a single, targeted, non-repayable Ontario Student Grant starting in the 2017-18 academic year. The changes to OSAP will make average tuition free for more than 150,000 eligible low- and middle-income students, and will reduce the cost for many more by: • Providing the majority of eligible students whose parents earn the median annual income of $83,300 or less with enough in grants to more than cover their tuition costs • Eliminating provincial student loan debt for eligible students whose parents earn less than $50,000 • Ensuring that no eligible student receives less nonrepayable aid through the new grant than they currently do through the

30% Off Ontario Tuition Grant.

The Ontario Student Grant will provide additional support for full-time mature and married students, and eligibility will no longer be tied to the number of years a student has been out of high school. This predictable, upfront grant will allow families to plan for their education on the basis of net price -- the difference between the sticker price of tuition and what a student actually needs to pay . The government will work closely with the postsecondary sector to develop planning tools that more accurately calculate the net tuition and net price of a university or college education.

Ontario's highly skilled workforce is one of its greatest competitive advantages. In 2014, 66 per cent of Ontario adults had a postsecondary credential, up from 56 per cent in 2002 and higher than the rates for any country in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, positioning Ontario to meet or exceed its target of 70 per cent by 2020.

Breaking down barriers to postsecondary education is part of the government's economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its numberone priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The fourpart plan includes investing

in talent and skills, including helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to highquality college and university education. The plan is making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario's history and investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses.

The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement.
