Senator Bernadette Clement Jason McNamara Framed Photography

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement has been appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the Senate of Canada. As a result of her new appointment she has resigned her position as Mayor effective immediately. Clement will be serving as one of the 24 Senators from Ontario.

Clement has served on Cornwall City Council for many years, and was elected as the first female Mayor in 2018 and was at that time also the first Black female mayor in the history of the province of Ontario. Clement has also previously run for the Liberal Party of Canada in the riding of Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry in 2011 and 2015. “This is an incredible honour, which feels both thrilling and wistful” said Clement in a statement to the media. “It’s a tremendous opportunity, which I cannot wait to start. However, I am very sad to resign from my role as the Mayor of Cornwall. It’s quite remarkable that you can feel such opposing emotions intensely and at the same time.”

Under the regulations of the Municipal Act, the City of Cornwall has 60 days to hold a by-election or appoint someone to fill the vacancy. For the month of June, Councillor Todd Bennett will serve as Acting mayor.

“Ms. Clement, Mr. Yussuff, and Mr. Quinn are

exemplary public servants and community leaders who have dedicated their careers to making a difference in the lives of others. I look forward to working with them, and all Senators, as we continue to fight the global COVID-19 pandemic, take steps toward our recovery, and build back a more resilient and inclusive Canada for everyone,” reads a statement from Prime Minister Trudeau. Clement is the first Black woman to be appointed to the Senate since Senator Anne Cools in 1984.

CANADA – Canada Day is next Thursday, and the new Canadians who take the Oath of Citizenship on that day will be some of the first to do so with the newly re-worded Oath.

Canada’s new Oath of Citizenship recognizes the treaty rights of Canada’s Indigenous and Metis population.

“We all have a role to play on the path to reconciliation and by creating understanding and awareness of Indigenous issues, new Canadians and Indigenous peoples will take us closer to implementing the Calls to Action—inclusion and embracing cultures.

Implementing the Calls to Action is a vital component of the Government of Canada’s work to advance reconciliation, and Canada’s new Oath of Citizenship takes us one step closer,” said the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Indigenous Services. Canada’s new Oath of Citizenship reads as follows: “I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada, including the Constitution, which recognizes and affirms the Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.”

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall has announced that for a second year in a row, the municipally planned Canada Day celebrations would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It is with deep sadness that the Canada Day Committee once again have to cancel our annual Canada Day celebrations at Lamoureux Park due to COVID-19 restrictions,” reads a statement from Cornwall Canada Day Chair Amanda Brisson.

“Despite our hope that we could still hold a modified version of Canada Day or even a large community celebration later in the summer, it’s clear that won’t be possible.”

The provincial three step re-opening plan began with Step One on June 11. Under Step One, outdoor gatherings of up-to 10 people are permitted. Each Step of the

re-opening plan is expected to be in effect for no less than 21 days. Due to the length of these restrictions, the City of Cornwall stated that it was not feasible to hold a large outdoor public gathering before July 1.

“We encourage everyone to celebrate this year in a safe manner following those protocols and we hope to see you next year,” Brisson’s statement concludes.

CPS and DQ Cornwall launch Project PYPER PROVIDED BY CPS CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Police Service (CPS) and Dairy Queen of Cornwall have teamed up to launch a new program aimed towards benefiting youth in our community. Project: PYPER (Police Youth Positive Experience Rewards) will be ongoing throughout the summer, where members of the CPS will be on patrol, looking out for incredible kids who are committing certain “offences.”

The CPS is on the lookout for kids who are: · Wearing their bicycle helmet · Riding their bicycle safely

How to choose a walking aid Do you struggle to walk on your own due to an injury, illness or condition associated with aging? If so, a walking aid could help you regain some of your mobility. Here’s how to know if a cane, walker or rollator is right for you.

Cane: Ideal for mild vision or balance problems, a cane can make it easier to navigate around obstacles. It can also provide one-sided support for mild leg weakness or joint pain. While a wooden model has a classic look, metal canes are easier to adjust.

Walker: If you have severe balance problems or weakness in your lower limbs, a walker may be beneficial. This fourlegged mobility aid typically has two wheels in the front and posts in the back, which allows the user to easily move forward.

Armstrong’s remaining competitor for Warden, Bryan MacGillis, had previously served as Warden in 2010 and explained that he had a breadth of experience that he was prepared to bring to the role.

“I’ve been on every committee known to the counties at this time,” MacGillis said. “I have a good relationship with all the counties and the City of Cornwall. I believe that after 10 years, I would be very proud to represent and lead the counties for the next five months.”

The other councillors around the table held a secret vote and Armstrong came out the winner.

“I appreciate the backing. Out of some difficult times comes some good things for me personally,” said Armstrong. Armstrong went on to say that he was ready for the learning curve of being Warden.

North Dundas Deputy Mayor and incumbent “I am not looking to do anything other Warden of the United Counties of SD&G Allan than guide the ship during meetings and Armstrong. represent the United Counties as best as Stephanie Jaworski has taken Prevost’s possible,” he concluded.

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Monday, June 21, the United Counties of SD&G voted to elect Councillor Allan Armstrong the Deputy Mayor of North Dundas to be Warden of the United Counties for the next five months after former Warden Frank Prevost was removed from office.

Prevost, the Mayor of South Glengarry, was granted a six month leave of absence by the Township of South Glengarry on June 11 after he was charged with three counts of Child Luring and one count of Sexual Assault against and adult on Tuesday, June 8 by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). Due to his lengthy absence, on the same day, June 11, the United Counties Council declared that Prevost was ineligible to serve on Council and continue in his capacity as Warden.

There were three candidates nominated to replace Prevost for the remainder of the year. North Dundas Deputy Mayor Allan Armstrong, South Dundas Mayor Steven Byvelds, and South Stormont Mayor Bryan MacGillis were all nominated, but Byvelds quickly withdrew his nomination.

“With my circumstances having changed, I will certainly have the time to dedicate to being Warden,” said Armstrong. “While I don’t have experience of being a Warden, I do have 22 years of experience in municipal politics.”

Armstrong also explained that he had a good relationship with the Mayor of Cornwall and that he felt it was time for a new face at the head of the council table.

“I think I’m capable, I’ve proven myself at the municipal table, I’ve proven myself at this table, and I’m ready for the next step,” he said.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The International Joint Commission (IJC) held a public meeting on Tuesday, June 15 to discuss water levels in Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River.

The IJC is a bi-national governing body comprised of representatives of Canada and the United States (US) which manages the water levels of Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence River.

WATER CONSERVATION NOTICE The region’s two conservation authorities have declared a level one drought in SD&G. The Township of South Stormont encourages all residents to help conserve our precious water resources. Here are a few ways you can do your part: • Water wisely. Water your lawn and garden only every second day and do it early in the morning. Avoid wasting water on sidewalks and other paved areas.

• Wash your car only if necessary.

• Wash only full loads of laundry. By washing full instead of partial loads, you could save up to 13,600 litres of water a year.

• Fix leaks. A leaking faucet can waste up to 11,000 litres of year and a leaking toilet can waste up to 275,000 litres a year. To check your toilet for leaks, add a few drops of food coloring or a dye tablet to the water in the tank, but do not flush the toilet. Watch to see if the coloring appears in the bowl within a few minutes. If it does, the toilet has a silent leak that needs to be repaired.

PLEASE HELP US BY RESTRICTING UNNECESSARY WATER USE IN YOUR HOME. EVERY DROP COUNTS!

Summer of construction, summer of growth

NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, June 23, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Summer is truly here. The sun is shining, patios are open, and construction work is happening everywhere. I was recently speaking with Ron Begg on his YourTV show “I Begg Your Pardon” and Ron mentioned to me that this season seems like there is more construction happening in Cornwall than there has been in recent memory. As an aside, I will be serving as Ron’s co-host on his program going forward and am eager to start when the new YourTV season begins in September.

That being said, while no one enjoys waiting in their vehicles to pass while construction crews do their work, this amount of development happening in Cornwall is nothing but a good thing for the city and its residents and I wanted to take the time to highlight a few key projects.

This by no means is an exhaustive list of all of the major construction projects happening this summer, just a few I wanted to bring attention to for reasons that will be made clear below.

Pitt and Second The first is the site of the former King George on the corner of Pitt and Second streets. That lot right in the heart of the city has unfortunately been left vacant for nearly 25 years after the King George was destroyed by fire in 1997.

Now local developer J.C. Goddard has promised to build his new Prime Square project on the site, which will see a five-storey building with 44 residential units and commercial space on the first

floor. Construction has already begun at the site. I was enjoying lunch on the patio at Schnitzels European Flavours just south of the future Prime Square site on Friday, June 11 and saw J.C. down there with his crew getting the site ready for construction.

I think that this project will be one that will change the future of Cornwall for the better. No downtown should have a lot of that size that stays vacant for 25 years and this project I believe will be par t of the fuel that will reignite Cornwall’s downtown to a place of vibrancy and activity.

McConnell Ave. Affordable Housing In late 2020, the City of Cornwall announced that they were ready to begin the construction of their newest affordable housing project which will be on the corner of McConnell Ave and Ninth St. across from FreshCo. At the beginning of June, the City released a snappy new video with more details about this project, which will include 44 one-bedroom units, commercial space on the first floor, and also space that will serve as the new head office for the Cornwall and Area Housing Corporation.

The residential units will be a mix of affordable housing, rent geared to income, and market rental units which the city says will provide a diverse resident population.

Housing in general is something that Cornwall is in desperate need of, but affordable housing especially, with the City needing nearly 750 new affordable housing units over the next 10 years to

keep up with demand. It is good that the city is taking this challenge seriously and I’m impressed with how quickly this particular project has been moving.

New subdivisions Like I said above, Cornwall needs more housing of all types and there are a couple of new subdivisions that are rapidly developing.

One is located on Third and Bedford streets on the site of the former Memorial Park Public School. That site being developed by John Kooiman will see a mix of semi-detached units as well as townhouses for a total of around 46 new residential units.

The residents of Riverdale are likely familiar with the new subdivision being built off of Saunders Dr. called Parkwood Estates which will see approximately 25 more residential units built in Cornwall.

Based on what I’ve listed above, that

is 159 residential units currently under construction in the City of Cornwall, and I’m sure that there are more out there.

This is exciting because it means that our city is growing. We are attracting new people, new talent and new potential for even more growth.

All of these projects after all, represent potential. Potential for population growth, potential for economic growth and potential for a revitalized downtown.

This is the summer of potential and it will be exciting to see what we are able to harvest from this growth when the summer is over.

What do you think readers of the construction and growth in Cornwall?

VIA Rail Leaving More Questions Than Answers for Cornwall & Area 3 MINUTES WITH THE MP

ERIC DUNCAN MP STORMONT, DUNDAS & GLENGARRY

Earlier this spring, I had my first meeting with VIA Rail Canada about their plans for high-frequency rail service in the Quebec City-Windsor corridor, and to discuss concerns I had about the current condition and future of the Cornwall station.

I have been working with Mayor

Bernadette Clement and MPP Jim McDonell on this issue for months, and despite their initial resistance, VIA agreed to make a presentation on what the new high-frequency line going north through Ottawa and Peterborough would mean for existing stations like ours in Cornwall.

I was concerned during my meeting with VIA on their lack of a concrete and detailed plan about what impacts the new line would mean for our region and the usual route through Cornwall, Brockville, Kingston, and other communities along the 401.

After years of declining stops at our station, what would this new route mean for Cornwall? Would we see more

stops or less? What times would they be to make sure they are more convenient to use for getting back and forth from Montreal or Toronto? Why are we seeing no money invested in capital work at our station while numerous others along the 401 corridor have seen tens of millions allocated to them?

In public life, you learn very quickly that when a government agency or elected official has exciting and positive news to share about a project or development, their likely communications strategy is to proactively share the details and highlight the benefits to the community.

The fact that VIA Rail has not done this before being, frankly, pressured

into a presentation, makes many of us worried about if this plan will be a net-positive for our community.

The tone and quality of the presentation given to both myself and Cornwall City Council have certainly left a bad impression on many businesses and residents; a feeling that is certainly warranted based on the information shared to date.

Residents can be assured that I will continue to seek answers and ensure our community only sees positive service improvements in Cornwall.

We deserve nothing less.

OPINION

Former PM gets jabbed in Cornwall Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

The guy rolling up his sleeve at the Cornwall Community Hospital clinic two weeks ago for his second COVID-19 jab looked kind of familiar.

Turned out the guy with the familiar look was THE Jean Chretien, former prime minister of Canada.

So what was he doing in Cornwall?

Chretien, who lives in Ottawa, was offered two sites when he went looking for his second shot: Hawkesbury and Cornwall.

(Just shows that even a former prime minister has to get in line like everybody else.)

Chretien chose Cornwall because it would give him a chance, as he put it, to visit his “old buddy” and one-time cabinet colleague Ed Lumley.

The two spent three hours together at Lumley’s South Lancaster home.

“We split a beer,” laughed Lumley. “It was good to see him again.”

Lumley said Chretien was surprised that after all these years folks (at the clinic) still wanted his autograph and to get their picture taken with him.

“He thought that was great,” said Lumley The 87-year-old Chretien lost his most trusted adviser, his wife Aline, in 2020.

The two were high school sweethearts, meeting when she was 15 and he 17.

Chretien, born and raised in Shawinigan, didn’t grow up with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. He was the 18th of 19 children. His father worked in a paper mill.

LOOKING BACK AT 1963 For years the Cornwall Police Department,

with help from Ottawa police and the OPP, spent one day each year at a crime scene.

They just didn’t know at the time that it was a developing crime scene.

So it was on June 20, 1963 when the local cops held their annual field day at St. Joseph’s Training School in Alfred, just east of Ottawa.

The Cornwall law enforcement delegation was headed by Chief Allan Clarke and Magistrate P. C. Bergeron. As juvenile court magistrate, Bergeron had sent several of the 200 young residents, aged nine to 18, to the institution for crimes that ranged from incorrigibility, running away from a residential school to theft.

A smiling Brother Gilles, who ran the joint, thank the police for showing up and giving the young inmates what he called a “red letter day.”

Behind the scenes the detention centre was a den of iniquity that would not become public until years later when the OPP launched an investigation and laid charges against several members of the religious order for sexually abusing residents. The province closed the school in the 1970s. It is now an agriculture college.

The training school was described by one of the many victims as a junior edition of Alcatraz complete with a solitary confinement cell.

Some might wonder why a victim would not have whispered in the ear of a police officer or passed along a note during the field days. But these where the people who delivered them to their abusers.

One of the brothers, convicted of seven counts of indecent assault, six counts of assault causing bodily harm and two counts of buggery, was given a five-year prison sentence. All the victims were

minors. The sentence hardly matched the crimes. As it was with his fellow brothers, this guy didn’t show an ounce of remorse, which should have added at least another five years to the sentence.

The OPP inspector who interrogated Brother Joseph called him the coldest suspect he ever interrogated. “He would just sit there and stare at you with an icy howdare-you glare,” recalled the veteran officer.

ALSO IN JUNE 1963 - United Counties Warden Mahlon Zeron did not take kindly to a scathing report that called conditions at the overcrowded Cornwall Jail, operated by the counties, deplorable. The grand jury report said conditions were unfit for not only prisoners but also for guards. The report called for the jail, built in 1834, to be replaced by a new facility. Zeran fired back saying there were jails in the province with worse conditions. He said he preferred to see tax dollars spent on hospitals. ... The city and Domtar signed an agreement to extend Seventh Street West through part of the paper mill’s property. ...

Cornwall Little Theatre executive include president George Holland, past president John Larocque, treasurer Lionel Tessier and secretary Edith Stiles. ... Colleen McRae, 17, of Bainsville was crowned Glengarry Dairy Princess, while Betty Casselman was crowned Stormont Dairy Princess. ... Four Cornwall high school students were set to take part in a summer exchange program with Quebec students.

They were Lynda Cottrell, Nancy O’Conner, Dave Penny and Hugh Hards. ... Manson’s Firestone store, 68 Pitt St., was closing. ...

Cornwall photographer Gaby Leger placed sixth in U.S. Camera magazine international competition. ... The first ocean-going ship to dock at Cornwall Harbour

arrived on June 19. The Norwegian EK was delivering a load of caustic soda to CIL. ...

The Billiard Academy and Snack Bar opened at 128 Pitt St. It had 12 billiard tables. ... After 60 years, the one-room Apple Hill Public School closed. It had 24 students. Teacher was Mrs. Alice Ferguson. ... After posting back-to-back no-hitters in North End Fastball League play, Ted Smith was taken out of the game and replaced by Doug Casselman.

However, the change didn’t help MillerHughes who dropped a 5-4 decision to Lloyd George Wharfmen.

TRIVIA In April 1962 this local landmark was removed: 1) Lock 18 in Cornwall Canal, 2) The federal building (post office) at Pitt and Second streets was razed to make room for the Seaway Building, 3) Silver Bridge was taken down, 4) St. Paul’s United Church at First and Sydney streets was torn down, 5) Miller’s scrap yard on Pitt Street between Fifth and Sixth streets closed and the eyesore was cleaned up.

TRIVIA ANSWER When he was elected in 1991, Dean Hollingsworth became the youngest person elected to city council. He was 26. In 1997 high school student Korey Kennedy, at 18, became the youngest.

QUOTED “Middle age is when you still believe you will feel better in the morning.”

- Bob Hope FAST FACT Construction of the Town of Cornwall’s first water works system was completed in 1887 by Moffat, Hodgkins & Clarke of Watertown, N.Y. The company owned and operated the system until it was sold to Flack Brothers. In 1896 the town expropriated the system at a cost of $86,491. The loan was repaid over 30 years. The city has been operating the system ever since.

Men face unique challenges in battling mental health problems

ANGELE D’ALESSIO CMHA CHAMPLAIN EAST

When his businesses collapsed, Stephen Douris was devastated. He spent entire days sitting in the dark, chain smoking and drinking coffee. Convinced he was a failure, and unable to see a way out of the darkness that enveloped him, he attempted suicide.

Three decades later, he shares his story often as an advocate for men’s mental health. “If you’re suffering from mental illness you’re not alone,” Douris tells others in a men’s support group he runs in Cornwall, Ont. “When you leave a room, look behind you. Two out of 20 people in there are suffering, too.”

In working to ensure men don’t continue to suffer in silence, Douris faces a

They’re acting out the depression.”

We a k n e s s i s n ’t considered ‘masculine’ Why are men less likely than women to get help dealing with mental health problems? Experts say societal pressure is a big factor. “We have inculcated a culture in our society that men have to be tough, men have to be strong,” says Dr. Don McCreary, co-chair of Toronto Men’s Health Network. “Our society is very good at punishing gender deviation in men.

Weakness is not considered to be masculine.”

Furthermore, when men do look for help, they have a hard time finding the right kind of therapy. Men tend to prefer informal, action-based or group-based services rather than one-on-one talk sessions but these kinds of services are not readily available, especially in small communities.

Men’s mental health advocates say more resources are needed. “Men want to fix problems, not just talk about them,” says Ivan Labelle, who runs the men’s support group with Douris. “So if a man

seeks help and is told he has to wait seven months, what is he going to do? Is he going to wait or is he going to take matters into his own hands?”

Men’s mental health advocates say it’s essential to create awareness of the challenges men face — and some progress is being made. For example, this year’s Canadian Men’s Health Month will focus on mental health. A young man in British Columbia can hardly wait. On June 1, Skylar Roth-MacDonald will start a cross-country run to raise awareness of mental health issues. “I’ve lost two really good friends to suicide and I see the impact that leaves on a community. I know sometimes it’s a bit easier to open up when you see others do it.”

MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS

big challenge; evidence indicates that, while men and women suffer from mental health issues equally, men are less likely to get the help they need.

‘Masked depression’ can be devastating Relatively few men facing mental health challenges recognize the problem and seek help. Experts believe many physical ailments in men, including migraines, back pain and gastric problems, are actually rooted in depression.

Experts believe untreated depression can lead men to lash out at others and engage in self-destructive behaviour — and statistics bear that out. Canadian men are about three times more likely to experience addiction and substance abuse — including alcohol, cannabis and opioids — than women. Men also account for more than 75 percent of suicides in this country.

“The consequences of masked depression can be devastating,” says Dr. Michael Myers, a psychiatrist and professor at the University of British Columbia.

“Too many men out there are suffering.

Ottawa-Cornwall Archbishop Damphousse issues apology on National Indigenous People’s Day NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Archbishop Marcel Damphousse of the Ottawa-Cornwall Archdiocese of the Catholic Church has issued an apology for the Church’s role in Canada’s residential school system. The apology came on Monday, June 21, which is National Indigenous People’s Day. “As we celebrate National Indigenous People’s Day, I extend my sincere apology for the involvement of the Catholic Church in the residential school system,” Damphousse said.

At the end of May, the remains of 215 Indigenous children were discovered on the grounds of a former residential school in Kamloops, BC. It is estimated that the Catholic Church ran up-to 70 per cent of all residential schools in Canada.

On June 5, Georgina Lazore, who’s parents and extended family attended the residential school in Kamloops, BC, lead a march through

the City of Cornwall in honour of the 215 children who were discovered. Lazore described the residential school experience of members of her community.

“215 children were ripped out of their parent’s arms and brought to a strange place, with strange people,” Lazore said. “Their names were stripped away and they were given numbers. If they spoke their mother tongue, then they were whooped with a strap.”

Damphousse said that he was working to learn and better understand the impact that the Church had on Indigenous populations through the residential school system.

“I join with other bishops and religious leaders in Canada expressing my apology for the role the church played in the residential school system,” he said. “The accounts we heard, both in the Truth and Reconcilliation report and more recently in the past few weeks of the experience of many Indigenous residential school students were shameful. As a church,

we failed not only to be authentic witnesses to the goodness of Jesus Christ, we sinned against the brothers and sisters in our care.”

Damphousse also called on Pope Francis to issue an apology.

“Words cannot undo the hurt, or return the deceased children to their families. We know the lingering generational affects of the trauma of Residential School students and their families,” Damphousse said. “As a member of the Catholic Church and Bishop, I am so sorry. I know I am not alone in my sorrow and contrition. I add my voice to those who are asking the Holy Father for an apology to Indigenous Archbishop Marcel Damphousse Screen shot from YouTube peoples of Canada.”

Abram Benedict, Grand Chief of the Mohawk for the Church and the public at large to learn Council of Akwesasne said that the apology more about Indigenous people and their experiences. was a good first step.

Damphousse said that he was learning how “Obviously an apology is a start,” he said.

“I’m glad he is calling on the Vatican and the he and the Archdiocese could offer support to the Indigenous population and was hoping to Pope to apologize.”

Benedict said that he felt it was important announce further action soon.

L’HCC annonce la composition de son nouveau conseil d’administration et présente son rapport annuel à l’AGA COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE L’HCC Le Conseil d’administration 2021-2022 de l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) se compose de 12 bénévoles élus et de six administratrices et administrateurs nommés.

L’élection de ces membres a eu lieu lors de la réunion du Conseil qui a suivi l’assemblée générale annuelle (AGA) de l’établissement, qui s’est déroulée par voie électronique le 16 juin.

L’ancienne vice-présidente Josée Payette a été élue au poste de présidente en remplacement de Debora M. Daigle qui a occupé ces fonctions de 2019 à 2021. Abram Benedict a été élu au poste de premier vice-président et Yvonne Bakker l’a été à celui de deuxième vice-présidente. « Au nom de l’HCC, je remercie chaleureusement et félicite notre nouvelle présidente Payette, les nouvelles vice-présidences Benedict et Bakker ainsi que tous les membres du Conseil d’administration, a dit la présidente et directrice générale de l’HCC, Jeanette Despatie. Chaque personne possède une gamme unique de compétences et d’habiletés qui nous aideront à réaliser des

objectifs innovateurs, à nous orienter durant le rétablissement par suite de la pandémie, à nous montrer à la hauteur de nos valeurs et à respecter nos normes élevées de soins exceptionnels centrés sur les patients dans notre communauté. » Élue la première fois au Conseil en 2015, la présidente Payette en a été vice-présidente de 2019 à 2021. Comptable professionnelle agréée, elle est associée du cabinet Johnston Beaudette à Cornwall et siège au Comité des finances et de vérification de l’Association canadienne pour la santé mentale (ACSM) Champlain Est. Elle a déjà été vice-présidente du Conseil de la Caisse populaire de Cornwall.

L’HCC tirera profit de ses solides antécédents en finances, en leadership et de son aisance dans les deux langues. « Je remercie Mme Daigle de ses neuf années de dévouement et de service au Conseil de l’HCC et du leadership dont elle a fait preuve à titre de présidente du Conseil durant son mandat de deux ans, a dit la présidente Josée Payette. C’est un honneur d’être élue à ce poste et de travailler avec une équipe dévouée d’employés et de médecins à l’HCC. Je suis persuadée que nous ferons fond sur

les succès des conseils précédents et que nous continuerons à progresser vers la réalisation de notre mission. » Lors de l’AGA, l’HCC a aussi présenté au Conseil son rapport annuel 2020-2021 qui présente les points saillants, les activités et les finances de l’année financière précédente.

Parmi les points saillants de 2020-2021, mentionnons la mise en ligne du portail pour le dossier de santé électronique Sunnybrook MyChart, l’obtention de la désignation à titre de centre de traitement des AVC de district décernée par Santé Ontario, celle du Prix du taux de conversion provincial du Réseau Trillium pour le don de vie pour des contributions exceptionnelles aux dons d’organes et de tissus et enfin, la prestation continue de soins de santé mentale, pour les victimes d’agressions sexuelles ainsi que dans le cadre des programmes de traitement des problèmes d’abus de substances et des dépendances afin de répondre aux besoins de la communauté tout au long de la pandémie. « Notre rapport annuel 2020-2021 met en évidence un équilibre réussi entre la préparation à la pandémie et notre volonté à respecter les plans initiaux de notre hôpital pour l’année

Josée Payette. », a expliqué Despatie.

ONTARIO - Le gouvernement de Doug Ford accordera 10 millions $ pour contribuer aux fouilles sur les sites d’anciennes écoles résidentielles autochtones de l’Ontario pour y rechercher des sépultures d’enfants enterrés.

Ce financement permettra aussi aux survivants des pensionnats autochtones, à leurs familles et aux communautés autochtones d’avoir accès à des services de santé mentale adaptés à leur culture et tenant compte des traumatismes.

La découverte des corps de 215 enfants autochtones sur le site de l’ancien pensionnat à Kamloops, en Colombie-Britannique, a entraîné une nouvelle vague poussant les gouvernements de partout à travers le pays à entamer de réels efforts de réconciliation, qui passent par la recherche des sépultures d’enfants autochtones.

«Besoin de réconciliation» Le premier ministre ontarien Doug Ford et le ministre des Affaires autochtones Greg Rickford ont tenu une conférence de presse, mardi, en compagnie de dirigeants autochtones de la province.

«Les Ontariens ont besoin de réconciliation.

On travaillera en collaboration avec les leaders autochtones pour respecter ces lieux», a affirmé le premier ministre, qui aura finalement pris plus de deux semaines à préparer cette annonce.

Son gouvernement promet de travailler en partenariat avec les dirigeants autochtones pour mettre en place les processus d’identification, d’enquête et de commémoration des

sites des pensionnats autochtones.

Les leaders autochtones jugent qu’il s’agit du meilleur moyen de faire les choses pour «respecter l’esprit de ces enfants».

La chef régionale de l’Ontario, Roseanne Archibald, a soutenu être reconnaissante que la province s’attaque à une situation qui est la source d’autant de douleur.

«Nos petits doivent être retrouvés, nommés, et si possible, rendus à leurs familles et communautés.»

18 pensionnats en Ontario On estime qu’au moins 426 enfants sont morts dans 18 pensionnats en Ontario et qu’il existe 12 lieux de sépulture non marqués.

«Il y en a probablement plus. On a beaucoup de travail pour les examiner et on comprend que ça rouvre des plaies» a déploré le ministre Rickford.

Ce dernier a admis que la découverte des 215 dépouilles en Colombie-Britannique «ne représente malheureusement pas une anomalie».

Au Canada, entre 1870 et 1996, plus de 150 000 enfants autochtones ont été arrachés de force à leur famille et à leur communauté et envoyés dans des écoles résidentielles.

En Ontario, le dernier pensionnat n’a été fermé qu’en 1991.

Le grand chef du Grand Conseil du Traité 3, Francis Kavanaugh, a exigé en conférence de presse que le Pape François se rende au Canada pour présenter ses excuses aux survivants des pensionnats autochtones, ainsi qu’à leurs familles et à toute la communauté autochtone.

Local artist tried his hand at country music with new Boundary Road band NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Local artist Peter Nichol and musical partner John McIntosh have released the first single from their new band Boundary Road.

The single titled “This is going down” will soon be followed up with a second single projected to be released on Canada Day. Nichol plays guitar and piano for the group while McIntosh does guitar and vocals.

“We’re a little bit of country music with some rock routes,” Nichols said, describing the bands sound. “John likes country

music. It is fun for us. It is different than anything we’ve done before. I love country guitar, those guys are amazing.”

Currently their focus is on writing, and due to the pandemic, the recording work that they have done has had to be accomplished at a distance.

McIntosh is currently in Toronto where he has a recording studio that he’s been using to produce Boundary Roads new songs.

Nichol said that Boundary Road has already found some success in certain country music markets, reaching the Top 10 in South Carolina. Learn more about this local band by visiting their social media.

ARIES: Whether you’re on vacation or not, time spent at home will ine­vitably allow you to relax and let your mind wander. Consider diving into a new TV series to escape reality for a while.

TAURUS: You’ll be very chatty this week, but it may be hard to direct the conversation. At times, you might let slip a few secrets or details you would have preferred to keep to yourself.

GEMINI: Choosing quality materials for a renovation isn’t just a luxury; it’s a smart longterm investment. Don’t hesitate to make your house feel like a home, and design it according to your style.

CANCER: While on a trip, attending a conference, at a training or even during therapy, you could meet someone captivating. This person will help you experience new things and get rid of some deep-seated emotions.

LEO: A simple “I love you” isn’t enough; you need more concrete proof of love. Your partner must make you hope and dream.

Fortunately, they have something romantic planned.

VIRGO: If you have a vacation coming up, there’s no need to stay coo­ped up inside.

Plan a trip abroad with friends and family, or take a long road trip so you can get away from it all.

LIBRA: Your home and finances can be a source of worry, which doesn’t help ease tensions in your relationship. You’ll need to find other topics of conversation to change the mood.

SCORPIO: Housework that you’ve been putting off will now become a prio­rity. At work, your bright ideas will pay off if you can figure out how to communicate them and show initiative.

SAGITTARIUS: You’ll feel the need to improve your home’s security. You’ll install an alarm system, better locks and other gadgets to give you peace of mind. You’ll want your home to have the latest te­chnology.

CAPRICORN: You’ll struggle to keep your impulsivity under control. You’ll quickly climb the ladder at work. How­ever, you’ll only realize how much responsibility that entails when you reach the top.

AQUARIUS: You need to budget for family activities and projects. A vacation is coming up, and you’ll want to have everything in order so you can truly relax. You’ll enjoy taking up a sport this summer.

PISCES: It’s important to put yourself first sometimes. Your generous nature means you don’t think twice about helping loved ones, but be careful not to exhaust yourself in the process.

Cornwall named third best place to buy a home in Canada NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall has ranked as the third best city in which to buy a home by University Magazine. Only Windsor, ON and Moncton, NB ranked higher on this year’s list.

“It is nice to see others recognize what people living here have known for a long time: Cornwall is a great place to live, work and raise a family,” said Mayor Bernadette Clement in a Choose Cornwall story.

University Magazine notes that the average home price in Cornwall is $286,000, a 10 per

cent increase from 2010. The magazine also claims that Cornwall is Canada’s cheapest city to live in. In an article in University Magazine from June 14, Cornwall is actually ranked fourth cheapest city in Canada in which to live.

“We understand that not everyone can

afford a million dollars for their first house, so we looked at choices that were less than $600,000,” wrote Melissa Dimon, Editor in Chief in the same Choose Cornwall story.

“Because we realize that money isn’t everything, we also looked at aspects like schools and activities to do with kids and pets.”

Don’t get vexed by this column!

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Can you think of a device that can be used to repair a cuckoo clock, prepare a camping dinner, open the celebration of a momentous achievement, do a manicure, peel a pomegranate and all sorts of other tasks?

Keep thinking. I’ll give you the answer later in this column.

Here’s another puzzler for you. What can be burnt or trampled upon to show disgust, can a politician ‘wrap himself in’ to defend his policies, be attached to the end of a rifle to lead in battle or claim territory seized from the enemy, or indicate being in distress, or tell others that a pilot is at the helm of your vessel?

A hint for puzzle number one: the Victorinox company makes that useful tool.

A hint for the second puzzler: if you study vexillology, you will learn absolutely nothing about getting vexed (angry), but you’ll discover all sorts of interesting things about the second puzzler item.

Time’s up: answer to number one is the multi-role Swiss Army Knife, the genuine article made only in Switzerland. Answer to the second puzzler: flags.

Because two national holidays are coming up on July 1 and July 4, this week’s column deals with flags.

Only after you have become an expert vexillologist can you solve this riddle: Identify the one situation in which these countries’ flags cannot be used: Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Belorussia, Botswana, Chad, Finland, France, Guinea, Guyana, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Laos, Latvia, Libya, Macedonia, Mali, Micronesia, Nigeria, Norway, Qatar, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland and Trinidad & Tobago.

To keep you further occupied during

Three flags flying from ship’s bridge. these COVID-19 days, here’s one last challenge: What flag cannot be used to indicate being in distress?

Answers: the flags of Andorra to Tobago cannot be used as a distress signal because they look exactly the same when flown upside down. Answer to the last challenge: the all-white surrender flag

CORNWALL, Ontario – At their meeting on Monday, June 14, Councillor Justin Towndale put forward a motion asking for a report on the feasibility of opening Pitt St. to pedestrians on weekends during the summer.

Towndale requested that the results of the report be delivered to Council at their June 28 meeting and would see Pitt St. closed on Saturdays and Sundays from Second St. down to Water St. This would allow restaurants to host more guests at once and help them recover from a difficult lockdown that prevented them from hosting any sit down dining for much of this year.

“This is a way that we can show our support for a sector that has been particularly hard hit,” said Councillor Towndale This idea was first considered by Cornwall Council in the summer of 2020, to support downtown businesses and give restaurants more space for socially distanced tables. At that time, the Cornwall Chamber had conducted a survey of downtown businesses and found low support for the idea. One year can make a significant difference though.

The idea to open a part of Pitt St. to pedestrians on weekends was revived by Hassan Rafiei, the owner of Schnitzels European Flavours restaurant, which is located on Pitt St. just south of Second St. Towndale told Council that Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA) President Josh Casselman had already written a letter of

McMASTER CLASS OF 2021

Cornwall Goslings Initiative selects writing contest winners NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Goslings Initiative challenged kids in Cornwall, SD&G, and Akwesasne to write a short essay about what brings them joy. The contest ran from midApril to the end of May and Goslings has now selected three winners, Teann, Maxim, and Grayce.

In total, the contest had 30 submissions from children aged 10 to 12.

“The thing that stood out the most for me was how earnest all the children sounded when they wrote about Cornwall. I expected a lot of the entries to sound like they were entering for the sake of trying to get a prize, but they all seemed to be writing from a place of genuine love for Cornwall which was very nice to read through,” said Sarah Silman, who started the Cornwall Goslings Initiative with her partner Daniel.

The prize for the contest was a gift basket

and a $50 gift card for Chapters bookstore.

“Starting this initiative, I wanted to give children in the area an outlet for writing but I could not be sure it was something that was desired in the community,” explained Silman. “The amount of participation has shown that this is something that the kids in Cornwall want.

Since the wrap up I have been asked if there would be another opportunity and what else could be done for those who wanted to write, so the need is definitely there.”

Silman said that she hoped to continue the writing contests with the goal of having two a year.

“I absolutely feel like my goal was accomplished with this contest, this being the first time I needed to know if anyone wanted this.

Now that it appears people want to participate, I feel the need to do even more,” she said.

For details about future contests follow the Cornwall Goslings Initiative on social media or visit their website.

Public / legal notices

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of North Stormont will hold a public meeting on the 13th day of July 2021 at 6:30 PM in the Township Council Chambers located at 15 Union St., Berwick, to consider a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under Section 34 of the Planning Act R.S.O., 1990.

THE PURPOSE of the proposed zoning amendment is to rezone a portion of the lands legally described as Lots 16 (western half), 17 and 18, Concession 9, Geographic Township of Roxborough, (Roll No. 041101601345000), from “Rural (RU) Zone” to a “Rural Industrial Zone (MR) Zone”.

THE EFFECT of the proposed amendment is to permit the subject lands to be used for the processing of compost associated with the Eastern Ontario Waste Handling Facility located directly across Laflèche Road from the subject lands. In addition to the composting facility the applicant is also proposing to develop a renewable natural gas facility that would collect, clean, and compress gas from the waste handling facility for release into a future natural gas pipeline proposed along Highway 138.

A KEY MAP is attached identifying the location of the subject lands and area(s) to which the zoning amendment applies.

IF YOU WISH TO BE NOTIFIED of the decision of the Council of the Township of North Stormont you must make a written request to: Craig Calder, CAO/Clerk, Township of North Stormont, 15 Union Street, PO Box 99, Berwick, ON K0C 1G0.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Council of the Corporation of the Township of North Stormont to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of North Stormont before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Township of North Stormont before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment. Please see special instructions on the reverse regarding participation in a public meeting during COVID-19 pandemic.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION related to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is available for inspection during normal office hours at the Township of North Stormont Office, located at 15 Union St. Berwick, ON. DATED at the Township of North Stormont this 23rd day of June 2021.

Dr. Louis and Jennifer Cardinal donate $15,000 to Arts Centre PROVIDED BY THE COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE FOR THE ARTS & CULTURE CENTRE OF CORNWALL The Community Fundraising Committee for the Arts & Culture Centre of Cornwall (BE the Link) thanks Dr. Louis and Jennifer Cardinal for their recent generous donation of $15,000 to the Arts Centre. Katie Burke, chairperson of the fundraising committee said: “The fundraising team is thankful for and encouraged by the great support it has received from local residents, businesses, foundations and various organizations in Cornwall and SD&G.” Burke stated that the Community Fundraising Committee has now raised $1,031,898 for the Arts Centre exceeding its goal of $1 million and will continue to contact and follow up with potential donors who are intending to contribute.

The online art auction from April 9-May 6 sponsored by Scotiabank Cornwall with a display and curbside pick-up at Cornwall Square was a success raising $8,465 for the Arts Centre.

The GRC architects have completed the

preliminary design drawings and made a presentation to Cornwall City Council on March 8.

The architects have now moved on to public consultation to complete design drawings and issue the tender for pricing this July. This will be followed by awarding the construction contract to start construction in early fall 2021.

Burke further stated: “The GRC Architects’ design drawings show that the flexible Arts and Culture Centre with a performance venue and exhibition spaces for artists will support the arts; improve the quality of life in Cornwall; promote tourism; help revitalize downtown Cornwall; and make our city a full-service, all-amenities community.”

To recognize donors, we have 3 large donor panels with the names of donors to the fundraising campaign. In addition, we have included on the panels photos of the donors who have donated/pledged $5,000 and over.

Once the construction work is completed, donors at the following recognition levels$500+, $1,000+, $5,000+, $10,000+, $25,000+, $50,000+, $10,000+, and $250,000+ will be formally and permanently recognized in the Arts & Culture Centre.

PROVIDED BY CPS CORNWALL, Ontario - Over 1700 local grade six and seven students will be receiving a challenge coin as a keepsake for their participation in the virtual 2021 Racing Against Drugs (RAD) event.

The 23rd annual event was held on May 12 and May 13, 2021 for all grade six and seven students in Cornwall, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry and Akwesasne. The bilingual, community-based prevention program aims to educate students about the potential effects of drugs, as well as how to say “NO”.

Participants were given the opportunity to watch presentations from police officers, paramedics, and other community partners as they learn about the physical, mental, social, and legal impacts of drug and alcohol abuse.

On June 22nd, 2021, the Racing Against

Drugs committee, consisting of the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) along with a number of partners listed below, will be distributing a unique challenge coin as a keepsake for all students who took part in the event.

“The message to stay away from drugs is extremely important for our youth,” said Constable Dan Cloutier, Chair of the RAD Committee. “The challenge coin will be a physical reminder for these youth as they continue to grow older, to remind them of the risks and dangers that were mentioned as part of this year’s event.”

The CPS would like to thank all participants, schools and community partners who continue to make this event a success year after year, including: CN Police VIA Police Royal Canadian Mounted Police

CCH announced new Board Chair and directors PROVIDED BY CCH CORNWALL, Ontario – Twelve elected volunteers and six appointed directors make up the Cornwall Community Hospital’s (CCH) Board of Directors for 2021-2022. Board Elections took place at a Board Meeting following the Hospital’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held electronically on June 16.

Former Vice-Chair Josée Payette was elected as the new Board Chair, superseding Debora M. Daigle who held the role from 2019 to 2021. Abram Benedict was elected as the First Vice-Chair and Yvonne Bakker as the Second Vice-Chair.

“On behalf of CCH, I wish to extend a warm welcome and congratulations to newly elected Chair Payette, Vice-Chairs Benedict and Bakker, and all members on the Board of Directors,” said Jeanette Despatie, President and CEO of CCH. “Each individual brings a unique set of qualifications and skills which will help us to achieve our innovative goals, navigate through pandemic recovery, live up

to our values, and meet our high standards for providing exceptional patient centred care in our community,” she added.

Chair Payette was first elected to the Board in 2015 and served as Vice-Chair from 2019 to 2021. She is a Chartered Professional Accountant and partner at Johnston Beaudette in Cornwall, sits on the Finance and Audit Committee for the Canadian Mental Health Association Champlain East, and was previously the Board Vice-Chair of Caisse Populaire de Cornwall. Payette will bring a strong background in finance, leadership, and fluent bilingualism to the role.

“I would like to thank Ms. Daigle for her 9 years of dedication and service to the CCH Board and the leadership she brought as Board Chair throughout her 2-year term,” said Chair Josée Payette. “It is an honour to be elected to this role and work with the dedicated team of staff and physicians at CCH. I am confident we will build on the successes of our previous boards and continue to make

progress in achieving our vision,” she added.

CCH also presented the Board with its 2020-2021 Annual Report at the AGM, documenting highlights, activities and finances in the previous financial year.

Some highlights from 2020-2021 included implementing the Sunnybrook MyChart electronic health record portal, receiving District Stroke Centre designation from Ontario Health, winning the Trillium Gift of Life Network Conversion Rate Award for outstanding contributions to organ and tissue donation, and the continued delivery of mental health, sexual assault, abuse and addiction programs to meet community needs throughout the pandemic.

Province accelerates distribution of second vaccine dose nseebruch@seawaynews.media

ONTARIO – The province of Ontario has announced that it is accelerating the timeline to distribute the second dose of the vaccine to adults over the age of 18.

The new timeline is as follows: As of Monday, June 21, 2021 at 8:00 a.m., all Ontarians who received their first dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine on or before May 9, 2021 will be eligible to book or rebook their second dose appointment at a shortened interval.

As of Wednesday, June 23, 2021 at 8:00 a.m., individuals who received their first dose of an mRNA vaccine on or before May 30, 2021 and who live in the catchment area of one of the 10 public health units identified as Delta hot spots (Durham, Halton, Hamilton, Peel, Porcupine, Simcoe-Muskoka, Toronto, Waterloo, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph, and York

public health units) will be eligible to book or rebook their second dose appointment at a shortened interval.

Starting the week of June 28, 2021 (days / sequence to be confirmed) all Ontarians aged 18 and over who have received their first dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine will be eligible to book their second dose appointment. The appointment will be scheduled at least 28 days after the first dose, per the recommended interval.

“Thanks to the efforts of Team Ontario we are making tremendous progress in our vaccine rollout, protecting communities at greatest risk of COVID-19 and variants,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Every dose administered brings us closer to ending the pandemic and moving to Step Two of our Roadmap, and I encourage everyone to do their part and get their shot as soon as they are eligible.”

PROVIDED BY CANADA POST CORNWALL, Ontario - As our employees continue to serve Cornwall communities during this challenging time, we continue to seek the assistance of customers to keep our employees safe.

Every day, our employees deliver to millions of homes across Canada and an estimated 36% of these households have dogs. They see them every day when delivering your mail and parcels, especially on warm summer days and as many customers – and their children – continue to be home during the day.

As much as we love our canine pets, they are protective of their home and their family, and it’s impossible for delivery agents to know how any dog will react when they approach your home to deliver the mail. Dog incidents can range from encounters with threatening dogs to being attacked and bitten.

Reminder to dog owners: Do not open the door during deliveries or allow your dog to approach our employees while they are out in the community. This makes it difficult to adhere to physical distancing when owners need to

Reader says: First the Americans, now us Canadians, like monkeys, are trying to erase our histories too. I hope they never erase the German Nazi death camps trying to wipe out the Jews. Our history will never disappear, it will always be in our past. Some still like to say it never happened but the gas chambers are still there. I am sure most countries would have something they would like to forget. As an example, the North won the war and now they are talking down statues of the losers, the South? All this destruction and expense will not change anything, there were great people on both sides, and this will never go away.

Reader says: Here we go again, over the closing of part of Pitt St. Ten councillors councillors that can’t make a decision, pass the problem on to administration to tell it what say. Caller thinks its ridiculous that we pay ten councillors who waste time getting surveys and don’t understand them. When the public was surveyed to close Pitt from 3rd St. to 1st St. There were 12 % for and & 88% against so they tried to only go one block, Second St. to First St. That survey was 20% for and 80% .

It’s obvious that majority doesn’t mean anything anymore. Why waste time and money on surveys, if you are if your just going to keep trying until you win one and expect us dumb taxpayers to pay. What about the rest of the city don’t they have any rights ? Many restaurants & bars on Montreal Rd.,then there was French week that was a great draw. Cornwall is a lot more than than one block on Pitt St. Why not get some great entertainment and maybe we could all go to the Civic Complex.

EOHU COVID-19 immunization clinics offering only Moderna Vaccine for adults in the coming days; Vaccines are safe to mix

PROVIDED BY THE EOHU

CORNWALL, Ontario - Due to a province-wide delay in the Pfizer vaccine deliveries this week, the Eastern Ontario Health Unit’s mass vaccination clinics will be administering Moderna vaccine (first or second dose) to all adults scheduled for vaccinations at its mass immunization clinics in the coming days.

Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are interchangeable, and are equally safe and effective. Both vaccines use similar mRNA vaccine technology and can be safely mixed. For example, if you had Pfizer for your first dose,

you can receive Moderna for your second dose, and vice versa. Both vaccines provide excellent protection against COVID-19 and its variants, including the Delta variant.

If you had AstraZeneca for your first dose you can safely take either Moderna, Pfizer or AstraZeneca for your second dose for strong protection.

If your second COVID-19 vaccine is different than your first dose, you do not need to start your series over again. You will be considered fully immunized two weeks after receiving two doses of any Health Canada approved COVID-19 vaccines (AstraZeneca,

Pfizer or Moderna, in any combination).

The current remaining supply of Pfizer vaccine will be reserved for youth between the ages of 12 and 17, since this is only vaccine approved for this age group at this time.

Delivery of Pfizer vaccine supply is expected to resume later this week.

For more information on the safety of mixing COVID-19 vaccines, and how to schedule your second dose, consult the Ontario Ministry of Health’s webpage COVID-19 vaccines: getting your second dose, or phone the Provincial Vaccine Information Line at 1-888-999-6488.

Village Diner collects nearly 300 boxes of cereal for Centre 105 NICK SEEBRUCH nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – During the month of June, Centre 105 in partnership with The Village Diner is holding a cereal drive.

Centre 105 provides free breakfast three mornings a week to those in need. It is a community ministry that is part of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa and also receives funding through the United Way of SD&G, but they rely heavily on donations.

The Village Diner has been a strong supporter of Centre 105 throughout the pandemic, donating 24 loaves of bread a week since March of 2020.

“My team and I at Centre 105 would like to sincerely thank Brenda, Cindy, and all of The Village Diner crew, for supporting Centre 105 since the beginning of the pandemic,” said Taylor Seguin, Program Coordinator for Centre 105. “Their generous support includes weekly bread donations and always being willing to be a drop off location for various food drives. The June cereal drive has been a huge success! It is incredible to see the community come together, by dropping off hundreds of boxes of cereal, which will greatly benefit the participants of the drop-in.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Centre 105!”

Due to the pandemic, Centre 105 has had to operate its breakfast service through a pick-up window. Located at Trinity Anglican Church they give away between 210 to 240 meals per week and are open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 a.m. to Some of the boxes of cereal collected at The noon.
