South Glengarry seeks resolution with Cornwall NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario - After eight years of effort to come to an agreement with the City of Cornwall on providing services to properties on the east side of Boundary Rd., the South Glengarry is seeking a public meeting to finally come to a settlement.

In 2013, the Township of South Glengarry sought to get properties on their side of Boundary Rd. connected to the City of Cornwall water and sewer system. Cornwall retained Watson & Associates to conduct a study which informed a later agreement proposed between the two municipalities.

Painting with passion for a good cause NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario – One resident of Heritage Heights Retirement Home is using her passion for painting to support a cause close to her heart.

Eileen Doherty, 84, has been a resident at Heritage Heights Retirement Home and since 2013 has been involved with the Seaway Valley Community Health Centre’s (SVCHC) Primary Care Outreach to Seniors program.

The program supports seniors in their homes and aims at improving overall health of seniors living at home and also reducing isolation.

“I volunteered and took many classes through the program such as Walking/ Exercise, Stress Management, Food

Responsibility all with the goal of improving my medical and physical well being,” said Doherty.

“I consider Seaway Valley staff and Heritage Heights staff my extended family and love them all.”

Doherty has decided to sell some of her paintings and donate the proceeds to the SVCHC’s Primary Care Outreach program.

“I have always had a desire to learn new things, painting relaxes me and I love it. I love creating through my imagination and with each painting I learn more about myself,” Doherty said.

Doherty has around 50 paintings that she has produced so far, and continues to paint on almost a daily basis.

“I have painted off and on over the years mostly abstract,” she said. “I have moved into

Cornwall reacts to George Floyd NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario – On Monday, May 25, George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, was killed when police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds during the course of his arrest. He was 46-years-old.

Chauvin and two of the other police officers who were on the scene at the time of Floyd’s death were immediately dismissed by their employer and several days later, Chauvin was charged with Third Degree Murder.

Cell phone video of Floyd’s death went viral and sparked protests throughout the United States and similar protests in Europe and Canada as has been seen in Montreal.

One week after Floyd’s death, on June 1 Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement issued a statement about the powerful emotions and reactions that were gripping Cornwall’s neighbours south of the St. Lawrence River.

“I have been watching the Mayors of American cities that are in the throes of protests. They call for calm and for peace, but not for patience; they understand that their communities have reached their breaking point and there must be change,” Mayor Clement wrote in a post on social media.

In an interview with Seaway News Mayor Clement said that empathy for others and inviting experiences with different communities within the greater community of Cornwall is the best way to foster peace and understanding.

“It is about including people in our personal

lives,” Clement said. “This is a call to action in terms of friendships. I believe that there is enough room at the table for everybody. When I have friendships in other communities, it helps me better understand their struggles.”

Clement also reflected on her experience as a black woman, travelling to the United States as a young woman.

“Every summer, my parents would load us into their station wagon and we would take long road trips,” Clement wrote, going on to describe trips throughout Canada. “We also often visited the U.S., but those trips were far less casual. They came with parental warnings of needing to be extra careful at all times because there could be many people who would not take kindly to families that looked like us.”

Clement praised the Cornwall Police Service (CPS) for their work to support all of the communities of Cornwall, pointing to CPS Chief Danny Aikman attending a memorial at the Jamia Masjid Al-Aqsa Mosque in March 2019 in remembrance of the massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand, as an example.

“Those are the types of things that encourage me here,” Clement said.

Chief Danny Aikman tweeted out his support for the Mayor’s message on Monday.

“Racism in policing has never been right, period! Intolerance of our fellow human beings is a sad and disturbing way to exist. @ BernadetteClem asks us to share our lives as friends and community. I agree 100%! #PeacefulProtests #loveislove,” Chief Aikman tweeted.

“As the Mayor of Cornwall, I am grateful for the peace in our city, but I am also aware that there is much more to be done to ensure that everyone here gets to participate fully in our community,” wrote Clement in her social media post. “My ask of this community is that we keep pursuing inclusion and diversity, not only in our workplaces, but also in our friendships.

When we share our lives together as friends, we truly listen to the perspectives of others.

When people are our friends and part of our lives, it becomes impossible to ignore their pain and their experiences. When we can listen to each other from a place of love and not from a place of defense, this is where we truly come together.”

Les offices de protection de la nature de la région plantent 180 000 arbres COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS L’engagement des municipalités et des offices de protection de la nature à améliorer le couvert forestier local a amené les offices de protection de la nature de la Nation Sud (CNS) et de la région Raisin (RRCA) à collaborer avec les municipalités de leurs bassins versants pour distribuer 17 500 arbres gratuits aux résidents en mai.

Environ 1 500 arbres ont été distribués dans chaque municipalité aux personnes qui se sont inscrites en ligne pour avoir la chance de recevoir des plants d’arbres gratuits. Les arbres ont été livrés ou distribués par l’intermédiaire de points de collecte sans contact dans chaque municipalité participante des Comtés unis de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry (SDG), Prescott et Russell (CUPR), et Leeds et Grenville.

La CNS et la RRCA prévoient d’autres distributions d’arbres à l’automne pour la ville d’Ottawa, la ville de Cornwall et le canton de South Glengarry.

Plus de 180 000 arbres et arbustes indigènes ont également été plantés ce printemps par les offices de protection de la nature dans les bassins versants de l’Est de l’Ontario, dans le cadre de divers programmes forestiers, d’initiatives de restauration et de partenariats municipaux et communautaires.

La CNS a planté 140 000 arbres dans SDG, les CUPR, Leeds et Grenville, et la ville d’Ottawa. La RRCA a planté près de 40 000

arbres dans SDG et la ville de Cornwall.

Cette année, la RRCA a marqué une étape importante en plantant son millionième arbre depuis 1990, et la CNS a planté 3,3 millions d’arbres sur l’ensemble de son territoire depuis cette date.

Cette année, grâce à la disponibilité d’arbres en vente libre à un tarif réduit subventionnés par les offices de protection de la nature, 17 250 plants d’arbres ont été plantés par 137 résidents.

Près de 100 000 arbres ont été plantés par la CNS et la RRCA sur 43 propriétés dans le cadre du programme 50 millions d’arbres de Forests Ontario, qui est principalement administré dans toute la province par les offices de protection de la nature et qui offre aux propriétaires des plants, des services de plantation, ainsi que la préparation et l’entretien des sites dans le cas de projets de plantation plus importants à un tarif réduit.

La CNS a planté plus de 50 000 arbres dans la forêt Larose, la deuxième plus grande forêt communautaire artificielle de l’Ontario, dont les CUPR sont propriétaires et gestionnaires.

Des centaines d’arbres supplémentaires ont également été plantés dans le cadre d’initiatives de restauration et de rétablissement de l’habitat, du programme de remplacement des frênes de la CNS dans la ville d’Ottawa, et d’événements de plantation d’arbres l’automne dernier. « Nous sommes fiers d’ajouter autant

South Glengarry seeks resolution with Cornwall on Boundary Rd. The Township had several concerns with the proposal and retained McIntosh Perry to do their own review of Cornwall’s numbers.

“What we decided to do, and Cornwall was well aware of this, was to have a third party review,” said Ewen MacDonald, South Glengarry’s General Manager of Infrastructure.

“What the review does is pretty much validate the concerns we had with the report.”

Concerns of the Township of South Glengarry included Cornwall’s estimates for connection costs, in addition to costs to developers and control over future development of the land.

McIntosh Perry stated that part of the connection cost for the services was the cost of replacement, with water services costing $153 million, and waste water $114 million for replacement. These numbers could not be independently confirmed by McIntosh Perry, and they recommended an audit.

“The rational behind the connection charge

requirement considers that the current City of Cornwall sewer and water rates do not include provisions for replacement capital costs,” reads the McIntosh Perry report.

McIntosh Perry points out however that in the City of Cornwall’s 2015 Water and Waste Water Financial Plan, such provisions are made to use some of the water and sewer usage rates that are collected for future replacement costs.

In a letter in 2019, the Township of South Glengarry raised concerns that the connection costs and the usage rates would mean that the Township and that property owners would be paying the cost of replacement twice.

Other concerns include the control that the City of Cornwall has over the water and waste water service to the east side of Boundary Rd. The current agreement limits the Township’s use of the water and waste water service,

Dr. Paul asks for continued patience with COVID restrictions

preventing them from using them for industrial or farm properties, as well as Cornwall reserving the right to control when, where and how connections to their water system are made and the quantity of water that passes through those pipes. These are just some of the constraints that the City is requiring of the Township in the agreement.

Additionally, McIntosh Perry noted that the agreement as is could limit future property development on Boundary Rd. “Although the removal of capital charge related to sewer and water infrastructure would reduce the fee the combination of charges indicates a developer would pay over $500,000 in the first year more than a comparable development in the City of Cornwall,” reads the report.

To resolve these issues, Township council is seeking to present to Cornwall City Council as soon as possible.

“A lot of this seems to be coming through

staff and what I want is to have a one on one with their council,” said South Glengarry Councillor Martin Lang. “It has been eight years, and we have to make a decision here.”

Mayor Frank Prevost sounded hopeful that Cornwall Council could be swayed.

“I think their council is not fully aware of what is in the report,” he said.

Councillor Sam McDonell was more skeptical of Cornwall’s intentions.

“We’ve been asking for eight years,” he said. “I think the City of Cornwall has forgot that some of the provincial money they’ve got was meant to make space for us. I’m hesitant to go into business with a corporation that won’t give us the time of day. We see what eight years of trying to get a deal has got us and it hasn’t gotten us more than a thought.”

The Township of South Glengarry hopes to make their case to the City of Cornwall in July.

CORNWALL, Ontario – In his update to the media on Monday, June 1, the start of the twelfth week of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) region, Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Chief Medical Officer of Health with the EOHU, asked for continued patience.

“I can’t underscore this enough,” he said.

“That if a business can’t screen customers at the door that they have signs that say if you are sick, don’t go out. I am pleading with you, if you are sick, you should stay at home.”

Dr. Roumeliotis reminded those on the call that the EOHU region is still under a State of Emergency because of the pandemic.

Other precautions that Dr. Roumeliotis asked residents to continue observing is the wearing of masks in public, only one family member going to the grocery store, and to not visit members outside of your household or to host visitors.

That being said, Dr. Roumeliotis also said that he could foresee a relaxation of restrictions in the coming weeks or days, including

Get tested. It’s easy!

NICK SEEBRUCH

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Last week the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) announced that they were opening COVID-19 testing to everyone, even people without symptoms.

This is an important step for our community and the region and is what will lead us to a return to normalcy and a re-opening of our economy.

Everyone should get tested. This will give our health professionals the information that they need to find out where the virus is and help us slowly open our region.

Testing is quick and it is easy. I know, because I have done it.

There are six COVID-19 assessment centres in the EOHU region. The one in Cornwall is located at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health right next to the Cornwall Community Hospital.

Patients must call in advance to book an appointment to be tested. The number for the Cornwall assessment centre is 613-935-7762.

When you call, the receptionist takes down your contact information and tells you a nurse will call you back to book an appointment. Within 10 minutes of making my initial call, I had heard back from the nurse and had an appointment booked the very next day.

Parking at the assessment centre is free, and at the doors, you are greeted by a staff member who gives you a mask and a bit of hand sanitizer.

The receptionist then takes down the information from your health card, so be sure to have it with you, and asks you a few questions such as if you have symptoms, have you been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19, and have you travelled recently.

After that short survey, I was asked to sit and wait. I was the only one in the waiting room at around 1 p.m. this past Wednesday and I didn’t even wait 10 minutes.

A nurse came and took me to a small exam room, sat me down, and gave me the swab. What I was expecting was a nasal swab that I’ve seen on national news. Those are the swabs that they stick up your nose and almost tickle your brains with. What I got instead was a swab that goes in your mouth and tickles the back of your throat, and while that also is not a pleasant experience, it was a brief one.

Following the swab, my nurse informed me that it would take between 24 to 72 hours to receive my results, and that they would call me even if I was negative. She also said that if I hadn’t received a phone call, I could also check my results online at the following link with my health card https://covid19results.ehealthontario.ca:4443/agree I was then shown the door. Patients are taken out through the back door to minimize opportunities for contamination.

One small touch that struck me was that the nurse had put up photos of her self and her family in the exam room. As I said, this is a small touch, but without these photos, I would have never have seen my nurses face, because she, like me, and everyone else in the assessment centre, was wearing a mask.

Two days after taking the test, I received my call from the assessment centre to tell me that the test was negative.

I never had any COVID-19 symptoms, I had not travelled, and I had not been in contact with anyone who had tested positive to the best of my knowledge, but I wanted to get tested anyway.

By getting tested, I now know for myself that on Wednesday, May 27, I did not have COVID-19. More importantly the EOHU will now be able to use the information from my test and from the 8,500 others they have conducted so far, to say where in the region COVID is, who has it, and how concentrated it is in our population.

Everyone wants our hair salons to re-open, for our restaurants to re-open, for our economy to re-open and for our whole society to go back to normal, and right now testing for the virus is the most effective way to do that. These are important decisions and they should be made with well informed and collected data.

So for everyone who is eager to see stores open again and for everyone who is desperate for a hair cut, I say do your part then and go get tested. Testing is free, it is quick, and it is easy.

I have done it. If I travel, get symptoms, or come in contact with someone diagnosed with COVID, then I will probably go get tested again, because I can do that and so can you.

Have you been tested yet? Will you?

Dear Editor: NORTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The past weeks and months have been hard on our community. Fear, social isolation and economic hardships have impacted many of us. This pandemic has also shown what we are made of. It has inspired great acts of community kindness. Although we have been separate, our community has worked hard to maintain it’s sense of who we are. We are Glengarrians and together we will get through this.

As the sun begins to shine again on our community and as many of our businesses prepare to reopen, we ask for your support. We ask that you make a pledge to support your friends and neighbours and to support our local businesses.

The pandemic has hit our local economy hard and we need to continue to stand together to support each other. North Glengarry is incredibly fortunate to have a wealth of retail, service and food-based businesses offering a wide range of goods and services.

Our farmers and food producers are busy planting their crops and they are working to ensure that we have a bountiful selection of local produce to harvest throughout the year.

Our stores are filled with stock and our merchants are working to ensure that when they resume operations, they can do so safely with measures in place to protect both their staff and their clients.

In order to help our businesses to resume operations, our municipality is launching the “North Glengarry Business Reopening Toolkit” to lend a helping hand to our local merchants. This toolkit is available on our website at www.northglengarry.ca and will also be posted to our Facebook Page. Contact our economic development staff if you need any additional information.

The pandemic has not yet completely passed us by, so we ask that you continue to maintain social distancing and to follow the directives of our public health officials who have been working tirelessly to support us all. It’s important that you continue to stay informed and to educate yourself on measures that you can take to protect yourself and to slowly return to a sense of normalcy.

If you have not yet chosen to follow the Township of North Glengarry’s Facebook Page, we ask that you do so. We’re trying our best to keep the page as up to date as possible on public health issues, important government announcements and local municipal news that is important for our residents to know.

Our staff remain here to help you, so don’t hesitate to call them and ask for their assistance.

More than ever before we need each other. We truly are stronger together and united we will rise from this.

North Glengarry Mayor, Jamie MacDonald.

Conservation authorities distribute free trees nseebruch@seawaynews.com

NORTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – As a part of a commitment with local municipalities to increase tree canopy coverage, the South Nation Conservation Authority (SNC) and the Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) have partnered together and have been distributing trees throughout the month of May. Together, the two conservation authorities cover The United Counties of SD&G, Cornwall, Leeds-Grenville and Prescott-Russell.

The conservation authorities gave away around 1,500 trees in each of their member

municipalities and together planted roughly 180,000.

The RRCA passed a special milestone of planting its millionth tree since 1990 while the SNC has planted 3.3 million trees in its jurisdiction.

“We’re proud to be adding so many native trees and shrubs to the local landscape in Eastern Ontario. We hope this work will help create both a greener summer and future,” said Taylor Campbell, SNC’s Communications Specialist.

“Contact us soon to learn more about our tree planting services and available subsidies,” added Lisa Van De Ligt, RRCA’s Communications Specialist.

COMMUNITY SERVICE 2ND PUBLIC ADVISORY/NOTICE The unprecedented circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in an increase in fraudulent activities across Ontario. The Real Estate Council is asking us to advise our clients to be mindful of potential fraud in order to protect our clients and customers.

It has come to Cameron Real Estate Brokerage’s attention that a fraudulent rental scheme appears to be occurring in the Cornwall Area. The scheme works as follows: Scam artists use information and photos from properties listed in this area and then advertises on an online classified advertising service, saying they are renting the home at unusually low rents without requiring a credit check and no viewings, etc.

As a result of these advertisements, the scam artist then attempts to rent the property out to one or several other unsuspecting individuals and then fraudulently collects the first and last month’s rent or deposit.

If you come across this kind of possible scam, please be careful. You can contact the Cornwall Police Services at 613-932-2110 to report suspicious activity.

Please be on alert for schemes of this nature in order to protect yourself and your family.

SNC and RRCA staff distribute free trees to residents in North Glengarry on May 23.

Now that summer camps and programs are officially cancelled, some residents may be looking to the fall and winter programs, however, it is too early to set expectations. “The environment and restrictions that COVID-19 is creating is constantly changing.

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The Township of South Glengarry has made the decision to cancel all summer camps, sports leagues, programs and facility bookings due to the COVID-19 pandemic until September 1, 2020. The decision means the cancellation of all summer day camps, soccer programs, t-ball/softball, and volleyball leagues. To date, there were almost 1,000 registrants for spring/summer programs.

“Township staff relied on guidance from the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU), which

ensures municipalities are meeting, or exceeding, the orders issued by the Province of Ontario. The Township’s summer camp and programs, as originally planned, would not presently meet COVID-19 prevention and control measures for physical distancing requirements, participant ratios, and access to facilities,” explained Rick Ladouceur, Director of Recreation and Facilities with the Township of South Glengarry.

Township staff are saddened that programming will not proceed this summer; however, the safety and wellness of families is a top priority for everyone. With recreation activities being cancelled, the Township will begin

My advice is don’t. I tried this about 10 years ago, not only was there no beer to be made, they will not stop growing. Every year I pull them off my front flower garden, but to no avail. Every year they are back. STILL NO BEER. YIKES! Was it not great news to hear that Oshawa’s Mayor and council have unanimously approved a park to be named after Dale Hawerchuk, with no criminal background required or a five page’s of question’s.

OPINION

Time to re-open Cornwall and SD&G Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Two weeks ago Premier Doug Ford wanted nothing to do with selected regional re-openings. He said it would be all or nothing.

This one size fits all is unfair.

But with medical officers of health urging him to reconsider, Ford has hinted that he is taking a hard look at the regional re-opening concept.

If it happens, Cornwall along with Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry should be at the top of the list. On a per capita basis, the number of COVID-19 infections in the two jurisdictions is among the lowest in the province.

As of Monday, Cornwall had just 15 reported cases in the last two months, just one in the last five weeks and all resolved, while SD and G had 27 with 21 resolved. There are just six active cases in an area with a combined population of 110,000.

The hot spot in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit jurisdiction is Prescott-Russell. As of Monday it had 107 cases with just 57 resolved. It had 11 deaths.

LOOKING BACK CIRCA 1962 The 1962 Stormont federal election, a rematch between incumbent Grant Campbell, the first Conservative to hold the riding since the 1930s, and former title holder Albert Lavigne, made history before a ballot was cast.

Just days before the election Lavigne was admitted to Hotel Dieu Hospital. His campaign manager issued a news release that said media reports claiming the candidate had suffered a heart attack were false, or as Donald Trump would say, fake news. The release said it was just a case of “mild

fatigue” and that Lavigne would be back on the campaign trail in a few days.

Three days later, June 6, Lavigne died … of a heart attack.

The Stormont election was put on hold until July 18, the first time a Stormont election, federal or provincial, had to be delayed.

Lavigne, an east Cornwall merchant, was elected in a 1954 by-election called after Lionel Chevrier, a cabinet heavyweight, resigned to become the first president of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority. Lavigne was re-elected in 1957 but lost to Campbell in the 1958 Diefenbaker sweep.

A week after Lavigne’s funeral the Stormont Liberals nominated Cornwall lawyer Lucien Lamoureux to carry the Liberal torch.

Lamoureux would win the postponed election by a mere 70 votes, after a recount did not change the result, and go on to make history.

He became the first Speaker of the House to sit as an Independent.

When first approached about the nomination Lamoureux told the association he was not interested but days later changed his mind. When he became an independent for the 1968 federal election the Conservatives agreed not to run a candidate. However, the NDP fielded a candidate, Tim Wees.

Lamoureux walked to victory with an 11,605 majority.

In the 1972 election, Lamoureux’s last, Grant Campbell was back on the ballot but unlike 1962 this one wasn’t close. He came up 4,979 votes short.

The Liberals reclaimed the seat with Ed Lumley in 1974. For several weeks Lumley finished his term as mayor of Cornwall while breaking in as a freshly-minted MP. ALSO THIS WEEK IN 1962 - Hotel Dieu Hospital Hospital received a $12,000 provincial grant to help build a two-storey residence for Sisters of the Religious Hospitallers. ...

Top winners in the Optimist Bike Roadeo held at the Loblaws parking lot on Second Street West were Lynne Larose, 12, of St. Francis de Sales School, and Richard Bough, 12, of East Front School. Other prize winners were Terry Hart, Linda Tyo, Joan Ezard, Paul Vincent, Steven Fraser and Roger Amelotte. ... A barn on Cornwall Island owned by Angus Delorme burned to the ground. ... Nine students at Cornwall Classical College graduated with bachelor of arts degrees. They were Yvon Menard, Albert Givogue, Maurice Brisson, Reynald Goulet, Jacques Desroches, Rheal Bisaillon, Gilles Lacelle, Jacques Begin and Donald Scott. … Archie’s golf range on Second Street West (behind West Front Public School) was taken over by the city to be used as a minor baseball field. Enrolment in the program had climbed to 750. ... St. Francis de Sales parish celebrated its 25th anniversary. ... There were 44 new homes under construction in the city. ... Brookdale Avenue residents seeking compensation for loss of property values because of the international bridge were told they didn’t have a legal right to compensation. … Don Messer and his Islanders along with Marg Osburne and Charlie Chamberlain were to play at the Bob Turner Memorial Centre. … In a 7-4 vote city council turned down a request from the French Week committee to set up a bar at the Bob Turner Memorial Centre during the weeklong festival. Voting in favour were Lionel Gauthier, Norbert Bonneville, Gerald Parisien and M. M. Kastner. Against were Ralph Carrara, Rheal Lemire, Doug Fawthrop, Bernard Miller, James Ross, Harold Shields and Larry Keen. … Dick Proulx and Rosemary Phillips won the Cornwall Golf and Country Club O’Keefe Tournament for a second straight year. … Ingleside hurler Larry Corlyon had a five-hitter in 3-3 tie with Cardinal in a Dundas Softball League game. Ted Hoy

scattered seven singles. … The stock market had its worst one-day loss since 1929.

HERE AND THERE It’s back to the future when it comes to high school graduation ceremonies put off until the fall because of the virus. Back when baby boomers were in school, graduation took place in the fall because final exams were in mid-June and results were not known until late June or early July. (Results were published in The StandardFreeholder). And if you failed one subject, you repeated the entire year. … Torstar Corp., with the Toronto Star as its flagship paper, has been sold for a fraction of what it was worth 10 years ago. It is being rebranded as NordStar. There is speculation that NordStar will merge with Postmedia to create a media giant with 210 publications. The StandardFreeholder is owned by Postmedia which is carrying a $90 million dollar debt.

AROUND AND ABOUT If there is a Stanley Cup playoff series ripe for upset it is the Canadiens-Penguins match-up. In three regular season games, each team had a win with a tie. The Habs couldn’t have picked a better opponent for a short series. … Wonder how many took Leon Draisaitl, the regular season scoring champion, in the first (or second) round of the regular season hockey draft?

TRIVIA ANSWER Beaver Lumber was at 323 Second St. E.

Walk and Roll Month BINGO! NICK SEEBRUCH

16 - Wednesday, June 3, 2020

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario – It is Walk and Roll Month in June, and the Active Transportation Group of Transition Cornwall + is preparing for something a little different this year.

Typically, for Walk and Roll Month, the Active Transportation Group would be organizing a community bike ride in Cornwall to promote healthy and environmentally friendly transportation, however, things have to be different this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing.

Instead, this year, the Active Transportation

Group is encouraging the public to play Walk and Roll Bingo.

The bingo card, which is available on the Active Transportation Group website, contains different challenges on each square such as “Wave at a person riding a bike”, “Walk or roll together as a family”, or “Walk or roll somewhere I usually drive to.”

Those participating in the challenge this year are encouraged to share their bingo card as it fills up on social media using the hashtag #walkandrollmonth2020. Residents are also encouraged to follow @walkandrollcornwallsdg on Facebook for updates throughout the month.
