Plenty to be proud of at Cornwall Pride Parade and Festival John MacGillis CORNWALL, Ontario – Members of LGBTQ+ community and supporters took to the streets with flags and megaphones on July 7 to celebrate pride at the Cornwall Pride Parade and Festival.

Cornwall Community Police Service estimated that the parade had around 150 people, with more joining at Lamoureux Park. The parade traveled through Fifth Street and Pitt Street to Lamoureux Park while cheering and chanting messages of pride.

“We are very happy to have so many people come out and support our community,” said Liz Quenville, the President of Diversity Cornwall.

“Our goal is to really make the LGBT community feel welcome in Cornwall and remind them that they can use our services and resources.”

While there has been progress in Cornwall, there is still work that needs to be done, according to Quenville.

“We have been questioned about the need for a parade like this, we have heard hateful homophobic and transphobic comments, we have been called names, and have felt unsafe,

and every one of those experiences has made us stronger and more determined to be here today,” said Quenville.

Mayor Bernadette Clement also marched in the parade, being the first mayor to participate in a Cornwall Pride Parade, according to Quenvillie.

“I was sad to hear that there are still homophobic or racist messages being spread, which is a reality but not the majority. Thankfully, we have groups like this to help support our community and help make everyone feel safe here,” said Mayor Clement.

At Lamoureux Park, vendors lined the bike path and music was being played with activities for both children and adults. Yoga, inflatable structures, and a barbecue were there for participants and community members to take part in.

“For me its important to attend as many events as I can, specifically events that speak to inclusion. We are in a really good moment for growth in Cornwall and I hope that we continue on this trajectory,” said Mayor Clement.

Alpha Day in the Park Provided by the Alpha Day organizing committee CORNWALL, Ontario - Over 400 people gathered Saturday, June 22, for a fun-filled day at the first annual “Alpha Day in the Park”. Free BBQ, great music and friendly faces greeted people from around the area.

Many participants were from the various Alpha groups active in and around the city while others came as friends and many were just visiting the park on a beautiful summer day.

The children’s craft tent was overflowing with excited kids having their faces painted, making bracelets, painting stones and more.

There was a constant line-up waiting for balloon creations of swords, animals and flowers.

Lamoureux Park provided a perfect setting for all the activity while three local groups offered a great musical background.

Event coordinator Marilyn Bergeron explained that, “Alpha is a community-building

program exploring the basics of Christianity, offering great videos and a chance to discuss some of life’s big questions.

Run at different times by various religious denominations, “Alpha Day in the Park” was organized by volunteers from four of the Catholic parishes currently offering “Alpha”.

Glengarry Highland Games honours one of Glengarry’s favourites popular bars in Quebec. The group was a hit and they played to full houses that kept the crowd on the dance floor for the entire night. Members changed through the years, but the band’s following continued to grow. Denis Carr joined the band in 1979, when they started playing at venues in the States. Over the years, different entertainers added their talents to the band, such as Rick Linke, Gerry Lefave, David Wright, Paddy Kelly, Shelley Downing, Jack Smith, Luane Doyle, Bonita Leblanc and Ashley MacLeod.

As the Brigadoons gained in popularity, they began to perform shows at the National Arts Centre and the Centrepoint Theatre, in Ottawa.

The band continues to be a popular draw at highland games and Scottish festivals across North America with the latest show being this summer in Denver, Colorado. The Brigadoons with Denis and Rob played on thirteen Scottish Caribbean cruises and Denis says the band has done twenty in total. From a show in Alert, Nunavit to accompanying the MacCulloch Dancers at EPCOT Center for ten consecutive years, the Brigadoons are truly Glengarry Ambassadors. As Denis Carr relates, “The Brigadoons have travelled all over North America and Europe playing at festivals and concerts, but like the song says, Glengarry’s Our Home. It is certainly a great pleasure to be honoured by the Glengarry Highland Games and we plan to continue our Games tradition for years to come.’

While all this performing took them far and wide, they also took time to make CDs and to play for their local fans. When the parish of St.

The Brigadoons

Raphael’s suffered the devastating loss of its church to fire, Rob and his wife, Irene, wrote The Burning of St. Raphael’s which the group sang at one of the first fund raising concerts in the Ruins and later included on their first CD. Fortunately for their many fans, the Brigadoons are still performing and while new songs are being added to the repertoire, they gladly perform fan favourites from Glengarry such as The Road to Dalhousie, Glengarry My Home or the Martintown Song. Denis Carr now leads the group and is the longest serving member. Reg Portieous on vocals and guitar and Dan Leroux on bass keep the music going while Heather Flipsen and Paddy Kelly on fiddle and guitar add to the mix to create the group’s memorable sound.

Rob Taylor, founder of the Brigadoons sums up the story of their success when he recalls,

“Who could have imagined when we started in 1972 playing at the Atlantic Hotel that our band would end up playing all kinds of Scottish festivals across North America, twenty Scottish cruises, Disneyworld and even Alert in Nunavit . Wherever we went, we always came home to Maxville for the Games. Now here we are over 40 years later being honoured by the Games. It is wonderful to receive this recognition for something that we had such fun doing.”

The Games will welcome past and present members of the Brigadoons to the stage at centre field on Saturday, August 3 at noon hour to officially open the Games. Of course, after that, they will be playing in the Metcalfe Centre to the delight of all their fans.

Provided by the Glengarry Highland Games Every year the Glengarry Highland Games welcomes a Canadian celebrity to officially open the Games. During its seventy-two year history, the Games has welcomed the Governor General, Prime Ministers, television personalities and even astronauts. This year’s Guests of Honour are special ones for the Games as they have been a key part of the Games since the early ‘80s.

The Brigadoons have been playing at the Games since that time starting out in the old Angus Grey building and now a key component of the Friday night Tattoo with the MacCulloch dancers and also entertaining endless generations in the Metcalfe Centre.

Games President Lindsay MacCulloch states, “It is an absolute pleasure to honor the Brigadoons as our Opening Guest for the 2019 edition of the Glengarry Highland Games. I remember as a child hearing of this new band, all the youth were raving about them. Now, 45 years later they are still going strong. The Brigadoons’ longevity is a true testament to their talent. Along with our Glengarry Highland Games, the Brigadoons have helped continue the strong Celtic heritage of Glengarry. With pride, we honour and thank Glengarry’s own, the Brigadoons.”

The Brigadoons band was formed in 1971 when Newfoundland native Rob Taylor gathered local lads, Bob Burnie, Guy Leroux, and Brian McDonell and began performing at spots like the Bonnie Glen, the Hub, the Atlantic Hotel and

Not everyone shares equally It’s not unusual for people to share their fries, although women are particularly generous. The McCain survey found that 63 per cent of them share their fries, while men are a little more protective of theirs, with only 43 per cent saying they like to share.

There’s more than one way to dress a fry Across the country, the most popular topping for fries among Canadians is ketchup, with 34 per cent preferring it over other sauces and dips. When it comes to secondary choices, however,

things get a little more interesting.

British Columbians opt for for gravy more than folks in other provinces, with 24 per cent choosing it to top their fries versus only 12 to 17 per cent in other regions.

Quebeckers, on the other hand, prefer mayonnaise more than those in other provinces, with 27 per cent picking it as their favourite versus a mere 2 to 6 per cent in other regions.

French Fry Day only comes once a year, so don’t miss out and be sure to stay on the lookout for deals offered by local restaurants.

Understanding Pride Nick Seebruch

Diversity Cornwall organized their annual Pride Parade and Festival this past Sunday. It had a great turnout, but I want to address some of the comments that the public left on the story we posted about the event on social media.

A frequent comment I’ve seen is asking why there isn’t a straight pride parade, the answer is simple, because there have been few if any cases where an individual has been persecuted for being straight.

There are over 70 countries in the world where homosexuality is illegal, there are no countries in the world where heterosexuality is illegal.

In the United States, in April of this year, an Executive Order from Donald Trump came into effect that prevents all transgender people from serving in the U.S. military. I’m of the opinion that there is no need for such a ban, and that the ban is only in place due to prejudice.

This is discrimination against the LGBTQ community happening in our time, on our continent in what is supposed to be the most advanced country in the world.

Is Pride a celebration? Yes, but more importantly it is a demonstration. A demonstration that there is support for those who experience persecution for who they are, whether it be in Canada, Saudi Arabia, Chechnya or anywhere else.

Another comment I saw on our story, was in regard to the children who were at the Pride events on Sunday. Ignoring the eloquent response of “up yours” to

those who questioned his stance against children at the parade, at least one commenter felt that having children at Pride events amounted to “indoctrination”. Isn’t children going to Sunday School a form of indoctrination? Having them involved in sports, or any activity is going to influence them in some way.

None of these things are necessarily bad, and the advocated message from Pride seems to be one of acceptance and love, two messages that I think are very appropriate for children.W The events run by Diversity Cornwall were inclusive to all, regardless of race, language, gender, or sexual orientation.

Events like the bath house raids in Toronto happened in this country, in many of our lifetimes. Pride shows people that it is okay to be who they are, gay or straight. Pride is not about “putting sexuality in your face” as I’ve seen some say, but rather about solidarity and acceptance for people who have experienced harsh persecution from their neighbours, or employer, or government, or some coward sitting behind a keyboard who takes pleasure in hurting others.

I have yet to see a good argument as to why anyone would be opposed to Pride. If you believe in reach out an arm and uplifting those who have been persecuted through a message of acceptance and love, than I think that is what the true meaning of Pride is all about.

What do you think readers?

Canada has welcomed refugees from around the globe Sultan Jessa

No other western country has done more than Canada to settle refugees who have been forced to flee their countries because of wars and conflicts.

Canada is a magnificent example of a land of immigrants.

In fact, this country has been built by immigrants.

Diversity is definitely our strength no matter what others say.

I may not agree with some of the policies of unpredictable US President Donald Trump.

But, by putting America first, he has garnered a lot of support from many.

My grandparents, originally from India, settled in Africa to start all over again.

However, Tanzania’s socialism policy resulted in nationalizing banks, industries, private businesses and dealt a severe blow to the country’s economy.

After three generations, we were forced to flee again and thanks to Canada’s welcoming and open door policy, we were able to re-establish in Canada.

We came to Canada practically with nothing.

We have no regrets about it.

Of course, it was difficult in the beginning but with hard work and determination, my family did quite well in Canada.

A recent report from the United Nations confirmed the world’s displaced population numbers around 70 million, which includes25 million refugees.

This numbers are staggering.

Refugees and new immigrant come to Canada because of a variety of reasons These include persecution, discrimination, conflicts insecurity and wars.

Like my family, many others have been able to live and prosper in Canada in peace.

All refugees and immigrants have been able to provide their better education and also university education for their children We were always told that no one will be able to take away your knowledge and education from you.

Canada has welcomed refugees and immigrants for many, many years.

In recent years, Canada stepped in to welcome refugees from Syria.

Some of the refugee who came from Syria have started their own businesses and are contributing to the country’s economy.

People flee their homes when they have no other choices.

Long before severe, and sometimes wacky, weather was blamed on climate change when there were no weather watches/warnings and six-day forecasts (folks just looked outside to check on the weather), Cornwall and the United Counties experienced three of the deadliest tornadoes to hit the region, all prior to the Second World War. The deadliest was on July 17, 1902 in what is now North Dundas. It took the lives of a mother, son and daughter. The father, who was outside, was caught up in the storm but survived with minor injuries.

The three had been in the farm house which was destroyed as was the barn. A report on the devastation said the mother and son were carried several hundred feet while the daughter’s body was found a shorter distance from the destroyed home.

The first recorded tornado took place in the summer of 1846 and claimed the life of a young girl who was picked up by the funnel and thrown against a wall.

In his history of the United Counties, John Harkness wrote that the tornado struck near the lock behind what became the paper mill. It moved easterly between Water and First streets ripping apart several buildings including the rear part of John Chesley’s hotel at First and Adolphus streets. Papers from the hotel were found in Lancaster.

In August 1935 a tornado cut through Newington killing a young boy who was sitting on his front steps. His body was found 300 feet away.

The tornado destroyed several buildings including the grist mill, cheese factory, railway station and several houses.

Limbs and trees were carried a mile. ______________

Three minutes after straying off course in the St. Lawrence River in the early hours of July 14, 1970 near Morrisburg and striking a submerged concrete base, the 4,000-ton laker Eastcliffe Hall, weighed down by a cargo of pig iron, went to the bottom, drowning nine members of the 21 person crew.

It was, and remains, the deadliest accident involving a major vessel in the St. Lawrence section of the Seaway which opened in 1959.

An inquiry found the captain, who was one of the nine victims, was drunk when the ship went off course.

ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1970 - City council voted to extend Allan J. McDonald’s garbage collection contract for another five years at $510 per day. ... Council voted to give the nine city department heads an $800 a year salary increase. ...

A Montreal man convicted of his role in the armed robbery of the Finch Bank of Montreal in March was sentenced to 12 years in prison. His partner was serving eight years. ... Widening of Fifth Street from Pitt to York was under way. The second phase called for the widening from York to Cumberland. ... The old Atcheson home on Second Street East, a city landmark built in 1881, was torn down to make room for a parking lot next to the Masonic Lodge. At one time the house was home to the Meldrum Funeral Home. ... A $1.5 million addition to General Vanier Secondary School was under way. ...

Golfers tee off for Boys & Girls Club of Cornwall/SDG John MacGillis SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – Around 150 golfers teed off on July 5 at the Cornwall Golf and Country Club for the De Saulniers Scramble Fore Success Golf Tournament to support the Boys & Girls Club of Cornwall/SDG. “This is our 11th annual tournament and we are really proud to say we filled every spot” said Jacquie Richards, Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Club of Cornwall. Golfers started their round by high-fiving members of the Boys & Girls Club of Cornwall on the way to their hole.

“One of the really great parts of this event is the money raised stays local and directly impacts people in our community,” said Richards. A large part of the money raised is going to directly to the “Teen Program” at the Boys & Girls Club; A program geared towards

The money put into this program is always a “great investment in our youth,” said Richards “Many teens that go through our teen program come back as volunteers and even employees,” said Richards. “Last year over 2,500 hours were donated by our members from our Teen Program.”

Cornwall Fire Service helps locals cool off PHARMACY

PHARMACIE

Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

PHARMACY PHARMACIE CORNWALL, Ontario – When two fire trucks pulled up to Lamoureux Park around 1 p.m. on Friday, July 5, the anticipation in the air was almost as palpable as the humidity. Curious toddlers anxiously waited to see what would happen next.

When Cornwall Fire Service rigged up the city’s largest-ever sprinkler, the park erupted in screams of excitement, which could be heard until 2 p.m. when the trucks departed.

“It’s very hot in Cornwall today,” said Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Weber with a chuckle. “We got the opportunity to come down today and share a bit of our time with the local community, create an opportunity for some kids to have some fun and share the biggest sprinkler in Cornwall. The kids are having a blast and will probably sleep a little better tonight as they cool off with our sprinkler.”

Environment Canada first issued a heat warning for the region on Wednesday, July 3,

which lasted through Friday, July 5 as temperatures sat above 30 Celsius during daytime hours.

Deputy Weber said that this is the first time Cornwall Fire Service has offered the sprinkler service by spraying a hose through a fire truck’s extended bucket. He was happy with the feedback and turnout of around 60 children and said his team will consider hosting more cool off events in the future.

“We thought we would try it for an hour and wow,” said Mayor Bernadette Clement, who spoke with fire officials on Thursday, July 4 about how they could help locals beat the heat.

“Big turnout, the kids have been smiling nonstop, the parents are happy…(we enjoy) anything we can do that brings families together at a low cost to participate in…also, it is hot.”

Mayor Clement said the City is happy to try new events of this nature to gauge public feedback and encourage a greater sense of community. There was no cost for this event, and Cornwall Fire Services gave children a tour of their fire trucks.

Salon de l’emploi d’urgence à Glengarry Nord

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

FINCH, Ontario - La Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) a planté plus de 136 000 arbres et arbustes indigènes ce printemps sur son territoire de 4 384 km² dans l’Est ontarien, grâce à des programmes forestiers, des partenariats municipaux et communautaires, des dons d’arbres et des activités de plantation. « Nous collaborons avec nos 16 municipalités membres, les propriétaires fonciers locaux et nos partenaires communautaires pour planter des arbres et des arbustes afin de créer un été et un avenir plus verts et d’accroître le couvert forestier local », nous explique Cheyene Brunet, technicienne en foresterie pour la CNS. « Nous sommes extrêmement satisfaits du nombre d’arbres que nous avons plantés ce printemps. » Dans la forêt Larose, la deuxième plus grande

forêt communautaire artificielle de l’Ontario, plus de 38 000 arbres ont été plantés sur des terres appartenant aux comtés unis de Prescott et Russell.

Plus de 11 000 semis d’arbres ont été plantés par 89 résidents à un taux réduit dans le cadre du Programme des arbres en vente libre de la CNS. La CNS s’est aussi associée à des écoles secondaires locales pour accueillir les élèves au mois de mai lors d’activités de plantation afin qu’ils puissent obtenir une majeure haute spécialisation en vue de l’obtention de leur diplôme d’études secondaires.

Plus de 3 000 arbres et arbustes indigènes ont été plantés le long des cours d’eau à Casselman, Scouts du 58e de St-Bernard de Fournier qui ont North Dundas, La Nation et la Ville d’Ottawa.

Ce mois de mai marquait également le 12e planté plus de 300 arbres à Alfred et Plantagenet.

Plus de 88 000 arbres ont été plantés par la anniversaire du partenariat entre la CNS et les CNS sur 30 propriétés dans toute la région pour appuyer la vision de Forest Ontario de planter 50 millions d’arbres dans toute la province d’ici 2020. Récemment, le gouvernement du Canada a annoncé son intention d’investir jusqu’à 15 millions de dollars pour appuyer le programme provincial de plantation d’arbres de Forest Ontario, mis en œuvre par les offices de protection de la nature.

Pour la première fois, la CNS s’est associée à chacune de ses 16 municipalités membres pour organiser des dons d’arbres dans l’ensemble du territoire; plus de 6 700 arbres en pot et semis ont été distribués sans frais aux résidents.

Au total, la CNS a planté plus de 3,2 millions d’arbres sur son territoire depuis 1990. « Nous visons déjà la saison de plantation du

Le canton de Glengarry Nord, en partenariat avec le Glengarry Inter-agency Groupe (GIAG) et la Eastern Ontario Training Board (EOTB), organise un salon de l’emploi à Island Park, à Alexandria, le mercredi 10 juillet.

Il y a plus de 40 postes vacants chez sept employeurs du canton.

Tara Kirkpatrick, responsable du développement économique du canton, a déclaré que le besoin d’un salon de l’emploi était devenu évident après leurs consultations annuelles avec les entreprises locales.

Kirkpatrick dit que la demande la plus forte est celle de mécanicien de chantier. Les mécaniciens de chantier sont des experts techniques qui travaillent avec des machines d’usine. Ils sont généralement chargés de l’exploitation, de la maintenance et de l’assemblage des machines d’usine.

Kirkpatrick a toutefois souligné que les postes à pourvoir couvraient une gamme de professions, de niveaux d’expérience et de durées des contrats.

Elle a expliqué qu’ils recherchaient des cols blancs, comme des comptables, ainsi que des ouvriers en général et des ouvriers qualifiés, comme des électriciens. Kirkpatrick a également déclaré que les postes couvraient un large éventail de contrats, allant des contrats saisonniers aux contrats à temps partiel et aux contrats à temps plein.

Kirkpatrick recommande aux personnes intéressées par le salon de l’emploi d’apporter un CV actualisé, une liste de références actualisée et d’être prêt pour une entrevue.

Si une personne participant à la foire de l’emploi a besoin d’aide pour se préparer, le GIAG propose des services de tutorat gratuits.

Change of Command Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Control Operations (CFSACO) held their Change of Command ceremony on July 4 at the Nav Centre where they are based.

After two years as Commandant, Col. Chris Horner passed the reigns on to Lt. Col. Kevin Ciesielski in the presence of CFSACO members, Wing 16 Commander Col. J.P.P. Godbout, RCAF Commander Lt. Gen. A.D. Meinzinger, Mayor of Cornwall Bernadette Clement, MP Guy Lauzon and other dignitaries.

Col. Horner has been assigned as Deputy Commander of the Joint Force Cyber Component, but before leaving CFSACO, Horner reflected on his time

with the school.

“How do you have excellence? Above all, you focus on people,” Horner said.

“That has been my challenge and my greatest reward of the past two years.”

Horner also praised those under his former command.

“To the Falcons, in the presence of the Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force, let me take five minutes to tell him why this is one of the greatest units in the Air Force,” he said. “We tool away and build the next generation of war fighters.”

Lt. Col Cielsielski, explained that he had three “R”s he wanted to focus on during his two year tenure as the new Commandant of CFSACO, responsibility, respect, and resiliency.

“The RCAF needs you to be ready and able at all times throughout your career,” Cielsielski said of resiliency. “You cannot put off your health and fitness to tomorrow. Responsibility, respect and resiliency, consider these my first orders to you. I am excited to be here, and I am ready to get to work.”

Col. Horner, Col. Godbout and Lt. Col. Cielsielski signed the documentation officially transferring command and an informal transfer was made when Horner passed CFSACO’s mascot, a live falcon, over to Cielsielski.

CFSACO is a school which trains aerospace controllers for the RCAF. Go to www.cornwallseawaynews. com for the rest of this story PLUS additional SN coverage.

OSPCA mobile spay/neuter clinic coming to Cornwall Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – Locals wasted no time in registering to have their pet spayed or neutered with the OSPCA’s mobile clinic, which is coming to Cornwall on July 9 and 10. According to Melissa Kosowan, OSPCA Associate Director of Communications, appointments were booked within a matter of days.

“Over the two days (in Cornwall), we have 20 cats and 10 dogs booked in for each day,” said Kosowan.

The expansive 38 ft. trailer, equipped to provide spay/neuter surgeries, wellness exams, microchipping and vaccinations, is stopping in the city as it travels to under serviced areas in the region. The mobile service was made possible through a Pet Valu grant and will strive to better control pet overpopulation in the province, building relationships with local pet owners and veterinarians along the way.

“We are approached by communities where there is a need to make accessible spay/neuter services available to pet owners who might not otherwise be able to access the services…in October 2018, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society partnered with the Welland & District SPCA to bring a mobile spay/neuter clinic to the community (of Cornwall) to help address the pet overpopulation, particularly cats. That clinic was very successful.

We are now returning with the Ontario SPCA’s own mobile unit,” said Kosowan.

Kosowan said that the OSPCA and Humane Society are aware of the issue of cat overpopulation in Cornwall.

Local feral cat activists are eagerly waiting for the findings of the City’s Cat Consultation Survey, which was launched in February, to better determine if more funds should/will be allocated to address our cat overpopulation problem.

“The cat survey was done months ago and we were told it was one of Cornwall’s biggest surveys, which was great to hear.

I know everyone is fed up, as well as all the rescues around,” said feral cat activist Mary Jane Proulx. “We really need a mobile clinic here for (a few) weeks and get a team together to trap. Then after (that), the clinic can come once every 6 months.”

Proulx said that she often traps cats from the area, drives to Saint-Zotique, Quebec where spay/neuter services are more affordable, and returns the cat to where it was originally trapped. Her team has trapped at least 12 cats on Adolphus St. between Fifth St. and Sixth St., but at the same time a mother cat gave birth to 7 kittens on Bedford St., leaving the team to feel as if they perpetually take two steps forwards and one step backwards.

“Trap, neuter and return (TNR) is the answer. That’s great (what Pet Valu’s grant is accomplishing), but where is the City in all of this?” said Proulx.

Go to www.cornwallseawaynews. com for the rest of this story PLUS additional SN coverage.

Col. Chris Horner hands over the CFSACO mascot to new Commandant Lt. Col. Kevin Ciesielski at the change of command ceremony held on July 4, 2019.

NG to hold “Emergency Job Fair” Nick Seebruch

nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

The Township of North Glengarry is partnering with the Glengarry Inter-Agency Group (GIAG) and the Eastern Ontario Training Board (EOTB) to hold an job fair in Island Park in Alexandria on Wednesday, July 10. The job fair is to fill more than 40 vacant positions across seven employers in the township. Tara Kirkpatrick, Economic Development officer for the township said that the need for a job fair became evident after their annual consultations with local businesses. The job Kirkpatrick says is in the highest demand is that of millwrights. Millwrights are technical experts who work with factory machinery. They are typically tasked with the operation, maintenance, and assembly of factory machinery. Kirkpatrick emphasized though that the positions to be filled covered a range of occupations, levels of experience, and contract lengths. She explained that they were looking to fill some white collar positions, like accountants, as well as general labour and skilled labour, like electricians. Kirkpatrick also said that positions to be filled covered a wide range of contract lengths from seasonal, to part-time, to full-time. Kirkpatrick recommends that those interested in attending the job fair bring an updated résumé, an updated list of references and be ready for an interview. If anyone attending the job fair needs help preparing, GIAG offers free tutoring services to help.

Wife TexTs Her Husband

Wife sent a message to her husband “Don’t forget to buy vegetables on your way back from office. And Priscilla says hi to you.”

Husband: “Who is Priscilla?”

Wife: “Nobody, I was just making sure that you read my message :) :) :)” Twist in this tale…..

Husband: “But I’m with Priscilla right now so which Priscilla are you talking about?”

Wife: Where are you?

Husband: “Near the vegetable market.”

Wife: “Wait, I’m coming there right now!”

Lise sends a big thank you to Brittany of St-Elizabeth Health Care for her dedication and professionalism shown to her as a result of recent surgery. Also, to Kristen for her expertise.

Seen on Facebook: I want to say something positive about our CCH. Late yesterday Afternoon I got a call, my daughter fell and possibly broke some bones. I rushed to the hospital to be by her side. I walked in emergency to be overwhelmed by the amount of people, standing room only. I was brought to my daughter. The care she was given was exceptional. It was confirmed 3 broken bones. The poor nurse who was starting her shift at 4pm was running around trying to find stretchers and room in the hallways to put the patients. The nurse who should have finished at 7 stayed behind to splint my daughter’s leg until she gets called for surgery. They were so busy she didn’t get all her breaks. I thanked both of them for being so caring.

All staff in emergency were smiling and doing the best they could. You may get a crusty staff member. But after what I seen yesterday I could understand. I don’t blame the hospital for the long wait time. I blame the system.

“It is a great event because of the range of difference race lengths,” said Rafeek Mohamed, one of the race coordinators. “There is really something for everyone here.”

The Cornwall Multisport Club hosted this event to keep young people in the community active and promote physical activity, according to Mohamed. “We want to see kids out and enjoying the summer weather and even take an interest in running and start an active lifestyle,” said Mohamed With everyone receiving a medal for participating and special awards going to the firstplaced runners, enjoying the day was the goal on this race day. “The kids in the community really seem to like the competition and the race atmosphere,” said Mohamed.

Request made to rename Riverdale Park

RESPITE caRE $85 /DaY

1200 Second Street West, Cornwall, ON K6J 1J3 Owned and Operated by JCS Godard Investment Inc

In full stride: Runners approach the finish line after the first race of the day.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall Clerk’s Department has received a request that Riverdale Park be renamed Gerry Grant Park, in honour of World War II veteran and former Cornwall Alderman Gerry Grant, who passed away in September of 2018 at the age of 94.

“Gerry did a lot for the City and we feel some recognition is deserving,” said Peter Morgan, one of the people who submitted the request.

The request was submitted by Morgan, Marvin Plumadore and Heather Megill with the support of the Cornwall Service Club Council.

Morgan explained that Grant lived in Cornwall for many years, was a longtime member of the Cornwall Kiwanis Club and that he went out of his way to help many other Service Clubs in Cornwall with their events.

Grant joined the army in 1943 at the age of 19. Two months after D-Day, Grant was shipped over to France with the Canadian Grenadier Guards Tank Regiment, 22nd Canadian Armoured Regiment, 4th Canadian Armoured Division.

With the Canadian Grenadiers Guards, Grant saw action in the closing of the Falaise gap, the Liberation of Holland and the invasion of Germany.

After spending nine months on the front line, Grant was wounded by shrapnel during the Battle of Bad Zwischenahn. After recuperating, he returned to Canada in December of 1945.

Grant first visited Cornwall in 1945, he would meet and eventually marry his wife Dorothy here and worked in the CIL plant in their chlorine production unit, eventually retiring as Supervisor of Transportation and Supply in 1985.

After his retirement, Grant served as City Alderman from 1986 to 1988.

Grant was named Citizen of the Year in 1992 and was the recipient of various awards including the Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee Medal, the Ontario Volunteer Award for 40 years of service in the community and Meritorious Service Awards.

Grant was chair of the Cornwall Chapter of the Red Cross for many years, he served on the board of the Cornwall General Hospital and was a director on the board of the United Way. In 1987 Grant chaired the organizing committee for the Regional Games for the Physically Disabled.

He was also a co-director when Cornwall hosted the Ontario Winter Games in 1993. A surplus from the money raised from that event still funds the Ontario Games Legacy Award which awards two bursaries of $1,000 each every year.

The decision to rename Riverdale Park in honour of Gerry Grant will be reviewed by the City of Cornwall’s Commemorative Naming Committee.

Comments on the renaming of the park can be submitted to City Clerk Manon Levesque at mlevesque@cornwall.ca until July 23.
