City asks residents to be careful with what they put in landfill after fire NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall is asking residents to be cautious with what they put in the city landfill after a fire occurred on Wednesday afternoon, May 19.

“No one was hurt, and Cornwall Fire Services was able to safely extinguish the fire,” said Chief Jeff Weber. “The fire is not suspicious. It would be difficult to determine an ignition source because of the surrounding refuse pile. The cause of the fire is considered undetermined.”

Chief Weber speculated that the fire could have been caused by discarded cigarettes, or an improperly disposed of battery.

How to make moving less stressful

If you’re downsizing from a house to a condo or moving into a seniors’ residence, you may be worried about making the change. Here are a few tips to ensure your move is a positive one.

FIND THE RIGHT HOME Take the time to select a place that provides you with everything you need and want. Consider the area you want to live in and whether you require an extra bedroom for when family comes to visit.

Knowing that you’ll be comfortable in your new home can help alleviate your concerns about moving.

ASK FOR HELP Moving can be physically demanding and emotionally draining. In particular, it may be difficult to get rid of belongings and say goodbye to a home filled with memories. Consider asking friends and family members to lend a hand and provide moral support during your move.

There are also a variety of professionals you can reach out to such as housing counsellors and social workers.

Bishop’s House receives federal funding NICK SEEBRUCH

ST. RAPHAEL’S, Ontario – The historic Bishop’s House located in St. Raphael’s in South Glengarry is receiving a boost in federal funding to go towards its maintenance and restoration.

Stormont, Dundas, South Glengarry MP Eric Duncan, along with his Liberal colleague Francis Drouin, MP for Glengarry, PrescottRussell, announced on Friday, May 21 that the Glengarry Fencibles Trust, which is the custodian of the building, would be receiving $98,572.02.

“We are very fortunate that Glengarry County takes such pride in preserving our local history,” said Duncan. “The Bishop’s House is another great example of volunteers stepping forward to save a historic site and turn it into both a cultural and economic opportunity. It is appreciated that the hard work and fundraising efforts of the Glengarry Fencibles Trust has been recognized nationally with this funding.”

The building, along with the ruins of St. Raphael’s church across the street, are a national historic site.

is not only a historic monument, it is a place where we, in eastern Ontario, can learn about our history. A year ago, the federal government, through Park Canada invested in this historical site, to ensure that generations to come will have access to this piece of our history,” Drouin said.

Both MPs visited the site to see the progress being made on the Bishop’s House renovations.

“This Parks Canada grant helps ensure Glengarrians and far-flung guests will be proud of this historic landmark for years to come,” said Brenda Baxter, President Glengarry Fencibles Trust. “Many don’t realize that with a cost-sharing grant, organizations receive professional guidance as well as matching funds. In our case, that meant conser vation architect Mona Lamontagne advised us on heritage masonry styles, and then oversaw the stonemasons’ materials and progress. We were conserving the building’s most weathered walls — including the 1808 northern exposure, so such attention to technique and historical accuracy was critical. Supporters trust us to use their funds carefully. When they see the results of this grant, it will solidify that trust.”

CORNWALL, Ontario – Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that golf courses would be allowed to re-open on the May long weekend.

After being closed for 35 days, Summerheights Golf Links in Cornwall was eager to welcome back their patrons to the green, and they were eager to be back.

“It has been very steady since we re-opened on Saturday,” said Rory MacLennan, owner of Summerheights Golf Links on Victoria Day Monday.

Summerheights had originally opened for the season on April 7, only to be closed 10 days later by the provincial stay-at-home

order.

MacLennan said that their golfers seemed excited to be back and were enjoying the wonderful weekend weather.

“We are very privileged to be able to be outdoors and enjoying golf,” MacLennan said.

Summerheights had several public health measures in place, and their sit-down dining area remained closed due to the stay-at-home order. Golfers were also asked to wear masks where social distancing was not possible, and staff were collecting information for contact tracing purposes.

“It is the way we have to operate to ensure everyone plays safe,” said MacLennan. “If you want to come out and enjoy a game of golf, this is the place to be.”

THE COUNTIES, Ontario – A $30,000 project to expand and improve the parking lot at Summerstown Trails has wrapped up – just in The trail system, located within the Counties-owned Summerstown Forest, has always been an attractive destination for thousands of enthusiasts, but its popularity has grown even more as COVID-weary residents and visitors enjoy a safe outdoor amenity.

The new parking lot is 70 per cent larger than its predecessor, covering some 30,000 square feet. Improved grading and new asphalt has also been added.

“This parking lot expansion will allow us to better accommodate the increased number of visitors that have come to enjoy the trails over the last year,” said Vic Leroux, president of the Friends of the Summerstown Trails. “Over the past six months, we have registered more than 15,000 visitors, and the parking lot often overflowed onto the county road, even on weekdays. We truly value our relationship with SDG which allows us to better serve the community through our programs and events.”

Following the addition of fat biking as a winter activity three years ago, biking has become a year-round activity at the trails. There are almost 20 km of bikeable trails for all levels of ability and ages.

EOHU has vaccinated 100% of seniors aged 70+

Parents raise concerns to STEO over bell time changes

CORNWALL, Ontario – During a media tour of the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU)’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Benson Centre on Tuesday, May 18 Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, EOHU’s Medical Officer of Health, said he was optimistic that the region would reach herd immunity by the end of the summer, pointing to successes with reaching seniors. Dr. Roumeliotis explained that among residents aged 70 and older in the region, 100 per cent have at least received their first dose of the vaccine.

“I’m optimistic that we will have vaccinated 75 to 80 per cent of the population,” Dr. Roumeliotis said. “Most should have received their first dose by the end of the summer.”

Part of the success of this story is the now well oiled machines that are the EOHU vaccination clinics.

For the past few months, the EOHU has been running two clinics a day four to five times a week at six different locations across the region. Most of these clinics are taking place in municipal sports arenas such as in Casselman, Alexandria, Hawkesbury, and at the Benson Centre in Cornwall.

The clinics are staffed by volunteers, EOHU staff and members of the Cornwall and SD&G paramedics service. Among their volunteers

there have been retired and active family medicine doctors, nurses and a range of others.

After booking their appointment on the provincial vaccination booking system, patients will be given a day and time to arrive for their appointment. Upon arrival, they will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms, and directed inside to a registration table.

The vaccines are loaded from their tiny vials into syringes by vaccine loaders. Vaccine loaders can get up to seven doses of the Pfizer version of the COVID-19 vaccine from a single vial. A volunteer then takes a tray of syringes to one of the 18 vaccinations stations at the Benson Centre. Shortly after registering, patients will be directed to a vaccination station and receive their dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. They will then be asked to wait in a waiting area for 15 minutes where volunteers monitor them for any adverse effects.

At the end of their waiting period, patients are able to leave and receive their vaccination certificate.

Dr. Roumeliotis says that from start to finish, the average process for vaccinating a patient is around 25 to 30 minutes. Dr. Roumeliotis said that a mass vaccine clinic like the one at the Benson Centre can vaccinate over 1,500 people a day.

CORNWALL, Ontario – During a Q&A held on Tuesday night, May 18, parents took their concerns to the Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) bus consortium about pending changes to start times for elementary and high school students.

Starting in the 2021-2022 academic year, high school students will be starting at 8 a.m., while elementary school students will be starting between 9:15 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.

These new bell times have been phased in across Eastern Ontario starting in 2019, with the United Counties of SD&G being the last region to be implemented.

South Glengarry Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden expressed his frustrations to Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Chair John McAllister during a meeting on Monday, May 17.

“You guys at the UCDSB changed the school times at many schools across your region. Where was the consultation on that,” Warden asked. “Specifically in Iroquois and Williamstown you have high schools and public schools that run as one unit but are splitting the start times. You are going from a 9:20 start to 8 a.m. at the high school level, and many parents have kids in both schools.

I just find that there was no consultation done. The decision was made, and I don’t think you guys have taken any consideration as to the impact of that. I don’t know about you, but my 13-year-old daughter does not like to get up early and instead of getting up at 7:45, she’s going to have to get up at 6:30 and it is going to be a struggle.”

During the public meeting on Tuesday evening, Janet Murray, General Manager of STEO explained that these changes were aimed at helping the consortium deal with the rising costs of providing bus service.

“Over the past couple of years, costs became unsustainable in a very short time,” Murray said. “STEO made great effort to reduce disruption of service to families . . .

Bell time alignment allows for significant achievement of efficiencies without a loss of service to families.”

Parents on the called expressed concerns that in some cases, such as at Williamstown Public and Char-Lan which are across the street from one another, different bell times for high schools and elementary schools would increase the number of buses.

“During the 2016 PAR, it was explained that splitting the Char-Lan and WPS busses would add 12 additional busses at a cost of $600k. How does splitting the busses lead to a savings today,” said South Glengarry Councillor Stephanie Jaworski.

“STEO has created routes with safety and effieciently (sic) in mind to achieve the most cost savings possible acroos (sic) the whole board,” replied Marc Gosset, STEO representative.

According to Murray, the new bell times will take 20 buses off of the road in the 20212022 academic year.

Jaworski also explained that working parents, particularly mothers, will be negatively affected by the early start times.

“It’s recognized that moms, especially

working mom’s are feeling the brunt of the effects of this pandemic. And moms will likely be the ones predominantly having to accommodate these bell times changes. Considering that these changes will result in increase child care costs (or reduction in employment earnings) to families how were these costs being downloaded to families compared to the costs savings that are anticipated from this new bussing plan,” she wrote.

STEO states that it has issued a survey to parents asking for feedback on their daycare needs that needs to be completed by June 4.

Some parents pointed out that they relied on their adolescent children to help around the farm.

“Very respectfully, will you please consider an exception for our unique situation in Williamstown? We need to continue sharing buses (rather than two buses coming to our house twice a day in Sept. to literally bring them to the exact same building shared by Char-Lan & WPS). This year kids help on the farm, older siblings provide child care, AND put them safely on one SHARED bus already.

In the Williamstown case, specifically, how is the new plan better for families as you say and also less expensive,” asked parent David.

“STEO’s direction from the STEO Board of Directors was to align bell times for all secondary and all elemntary (sic) as it is discussed at this moment,” replied Gosset.

Parents also raised concerns about secondary school students getting enough sleep.

UCDSB Superintendent Marsha McNair explained that the school board will be recommending that parents monitor their children’s use of electronic screens prior to bed and that high school students avoid caffeine in the afternoons.

STEO will be releasing the final bus schedule for students in Aug. 23, 2021.

Last week Doug Ford announced his plan to re-open the province after this latest COVID-19 lockdown. As the vaccination rate increases the end of the pandemic is truly in sight, but rather than Ford’s announcement being welcomed as good news, some Cornwall business owners are understandably frustrated.

Ford announced, as a treat for the May long weekend that golf courses, tennis courts and splashpads would be allowed to re-open, restaurants however, will have to wait until June 14, another four weeks.

No new supports were offered to this hard-hit sector of the economy by the provincial government.

I spoke with Hassan Rafiei, the owner of Schnitzels European Flavours who expressed his frustration. Hassan showed me his perspective, as a restaurant owner, on how difficult the past few months have been.

Not only has Schnitzels already lost 46 per cent of their revenue from 2020, but January to March are typically the slowest months of the year. The restaurant industry went from their slowest months of any year, straight into a months long lockdown where they could have no guests and were restricted to take-out only.

Even prior to the pandemic the profit margin for an average restaurant was razor thin. These businesses however, are crucial components to a healthy local economy and to the local culture.

Hassan argued on Twitter that downtown restaurants bring traffic to the downtown core and help bring customers to all businesses.

This key industry is suffering from the seemingly arbitrary provincial re-opening plan. Splashpads were allowed to open this weekend, but restaurant patios were not? That doesn’t seem consistent to me. To me it seems like a political consideration aimed at keeping parents happy while punishing restaurants. The fact that there were no offers of support to restaurants after this announcement I think just adds insult to injury. They went from the slowest months of the year, to a months long lockdown with their income lowered to a trickle and they have been left out in stormy seas by the Ford government with no lifeline.

Hassan has asked the City of Cornwall to consider closing down Pitt St. from First to Second on weekends during the summer. When restaurants are finally allowed to have guests return to sit down dining on June 14, this would allow them to have a greater number of tables and more guests and get more of that desperately needed revenue.

Major cities like Toronto and New York City have already experimented with opening streets to pedestrians and closing them to cars.

The area around Young and Bloor streets in Toronto have been open to pedestrians on select dates during the summer since 2014 and Open Streets TO, which coordinates the program, boasts to bringing 120,000 walking guests in 2018 and 2019 to these streets that normally see heavy vehicle traffic.

If the province will do nothing to support small businesses like restaurants then that responsibility falls to local governments. It will be local economies and local cultures that will suffer if these businesses go under. The City should consult with restaurants, and other downtown businesses and stakeholders to find more ways to support them as they recover.

What do you think readers?

What should be done to support local restaurants?

Camping confusion Dear Editor: Thursday, May 20th, 2021 your government announced their plan for a 3 Phase COVID19 reopening, having 21 days between phases based on trends.

They also announced that commencing Saturday, May 22nd outdoor gatherings of up to 5 people and outdoor activities such as golfing, boating, marina openings, Parks and Recreational area, etc. will be allowed.

With that announcement, we looked forward to getting out and enjoying our recreational activity that is camping. We were informed by campground owners/managements that camping was not open yet?

I looked up “Definition of Recreational Area for determining offsite impacts…” Recreational areas would include land that is designed constructed, designated, or used for recreational activities. Public and private areas that are predictably used for hunting, fishing, bird watching, bike riding, camping or other recreational use would be considered recreational areas.

No wonder people are losing faith in our

government leaders. They have had over a year to get it right and be consistent but still can’t manage that.

On May 22nd, as we drove along the #2 highway, we noticed that there were several people enjoying camping. I believe the reason for them being allowed to camp is because they are seasonal campers?

Seasonal or non-seasonal campers each have their own lot which would require the same protocols to be applied. In other words, camping is camping. So, what happened to our discrimination laws because clearly all campers should be treated equally, seasonal campers are no better or worse. Maybe the government thinks so??

Again, another example of where government has failed to apply the same logic and principles consistently, with recreation areas is, docking at marinas, golfing, boating etc. Maybe they will see that they have to be consistent before everyone gives up on them totally and says the heck with it!

Again, very disappointed in our government.

Adopt-a-Street Dear Editor, Why must we adopt a city street where there are businesses and homes who could clean in front of their premises like in Germany and other European countires. It is their respect for their city that every morning the people clean up the streets and sidewalks before their work day starts. This has been going on for centuries in Europe and Asia. Where there are no people these streets

should be mapped out for Adopt-a-Street like the Americans do and put their name on the street.

We should be proud to live in Cornwall and show it by cleaning up our own areas. This would not cost the city a cent except for the sign. And these citizens would show their pride for Cornwall.

RE: Car-centric Cornwall Dear Editor, I totally agree with recent editorial, Car-centric Cornwall. But I would like to add a few points I think ought to be addressed.

Excessive speeding in Cornwall is the norm and the police seem to be turning a blind eye. I’ve yet to see a speed trap in the 6 years I have lived here part-time and now permanently. All the two lane one-way streets through residential areas are being treated as expressways with speeds way over the 50kph speed limit. Which raises another point. Why are there so few speed limit signs?

We recently bought a house on Sydney St. and can speak first hand to the number of drag races that start once the light at Fifth St turns green. It happens so often that it would appear there is no fear of being caught and given a hefty fine. Most people we mention this to know of the situation, so why haven’t the powers that be done something about it?

This is neither pedestrian -nor- bike friendly. It seems that one-way two-lane streets were all the rage in the 60’s and 70’s. It’s time to put that fad

to rest. It has been proven that two way streets have a natural “slow-down” and calming factor.

Several Canadian cities have seen the light and are reverting their two-lane one-way streets back to two-way streets. Three of the advantages are that their cities are more bike and pedestrian friendly and business cores are enjoying a re-birth.

One final point: noise pollution. The number of cars, trucks, and motorcycles that have “tuned” exhausts or no mufflers at all is also out of control. Again something obvious that everybody knows about.

Why should a vehicle two blocks away have the power to intrude in a conversation I am having in my backyard? Slower traffic also produces less noise.

Walking and biking make for a healthier population and community. This city has a lot to offer its self-propelled citizens. If Cornwall wants to encourage more public physical activity, cars must take a back seat to people.

OPINION

Holocaust survivor beats the odds Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

One of Cornwall’s best-known Pitt Street merchants was a rare survivor of the Nazi Second World War death camps.

The odds of survivor the death camps – Jews or anybody else - for as long as Kenny Ertle managed were about one in a couple of million.

Ertle, who ran the popular deli Kenny’s, carried the ID number – B13303 - that was branded on his arm soon after he and scores of other Czechoslovakian Jews were rounded up by the Nazis when they took over the country.

His back was laced with the welts from whippings and there was a prominent scar on the top of his head. A guard had split open his head with a rifle butt.

Ertle spend six years and two months in 21 different camps. When taken prisoner on May 8, 1939 he weighed 215 pounds.

When freed by American troops in 1945, he was a walking skeleton of bones and shriveled skin. He weighed 108 pounds.

He was, after six years, knocking on death’s door.

Of the millions of Jews who perished in concentration camps, Ertle’s survival for the entire Second World War was nothing short of a miracle. Three times he missed being sent to the gas chambers. The third time was in April 1945 when Heinrich Himmler ordered all prisoners at the camp be killed. U .S. troops liberated the camp before the order could be carried out.

His wife and 11-year-old son were put to death in the Auschwitz gas chambers the day they arrived in 1939.

So, when Israeli agents captured Adolph

Eichmann, who ran the death camps and carried the ominous title ‘Chief Executioner’, on May 11, 1960, Ertle felt touched by the hand of justice.

Ertle, who would testify at the trial in Israel, described Eichmann as the devil in human form. The Nazi commander was found guilty and hanged.

Not only did Ertle see Eichmann during camp visits, he came face-to-face with the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele who carried out experiments on doomed prisoners at Auschwitz. Inmates were lined up and Mengele strolled up the line, pointing to his next victims. It was called the finger of death.

“One day he would pick short people, the next it might be tall people,” Ertle said in a 1958 interview.

Ertle came to Cornwall, which had a sizeable Jewish population, in 1947. He barely spoke a word of English. He soon became fluent in the language and put down roots in what he called the greatest city in the greatest country.

If he had one complaint about Canadians, it was that many did not appreciate the wonderful gift of Canadian citizenship.

THIS WEEK IN 1960 – Transport Minister George Hess said the condition of Cornwall Canal since the Seaway opened would be investigated. The flow of the canal slowed to a crawl since shipping moved to the Seaway, rendering the canal obsolete. In its wake the water became polluted and swimming at the once popular Silver Bridge was banned. ...

TRIVIA ANSWER The 1939 epic Gone With the Wind is rated as one of the greatest Hollywood films of all time. Its all-star cast included Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Olivia de Haviland and Leslie Howard. It set box office records that, when adjusted for inflation, still stand. The number of people who saw the film during its nine-day run at the Capitol exceeded the population of Cornwall.

Arts Centre committee reaches $1M fundraising goal NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Community Fundraising Committee for the Cornwall Arts and Culture Centre has announced that they have reached their goal of raising $ 1 million for the future City of Cornwall Arts and Culture Centre.

Reprise de certaines chirurgies électives à l’HC CORNWALL, Ontario - Le gouvernement de l’Ontario a autorisé l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) à reprendre graduellement certaines chirurgies électives ainsi que des chirurgies d’un jour et interventions non urgentes et ne constituant pas une urgence majeure.

La directive du gouvernement provincial ordonnant l’arrêt de ces services est entrée en vigueur le 20 avril pour que les hôpitaux puissent faire face au nombre croissant de patients qu’il a fallu hospitaliser en raison de la COVID-19, sans que ces établissements soient débordés.

Bien que le nombre d’hospitalisations demeure élevé à l’échelle provinciale, il diminue dans plusieurs communautés, ouvrant ainsi la voie aux hôpitaux ayant des ressources et une capacité adéquates, y compris l’HCC, pour qu’ils reprennent graduellement les interventions de jour ne nécessitant pas de séjour des patients.

Voici des exemples de telles interventions de jour non urgentes et ne constituant pas une urgence majeure : chirurgie de la cataracte, chirurgie de la peau, procédures gastro-intestinales, amygdalectomie,

réparation des tendons et des muscles, etc.

Les interventions urgentes et constituant une urgence majeure en raison de situations mettant la vie en danger et de problèmes de santé urgents n’étaient pas visées par la directive provinciale et se sont poursuivies durant la troisième vague ce printemps à l’HCC. On estime que plus de 2,000 patientes et patients attendent actuellement une intervention non urgente à l’HCC. Toutefois, l’hôpital est convaincu qu’il sera en mesure de réduire efficacement ce nombre et de rattraper son retard dans les mois à venir, comme il l’a fait après chaque vague. « Nous savons que les gens sont parfois impatients ou préoccupés pendant qu’ils attendent une intervention, a dit la présidente et directrice générale de l’HCC, Jeanette Despatie. Nous avons soigneusement planifié afin d’être prêts à reprendre les chirurgies et les interventions non urgentes et ne constituant pas une urgence majeure, et ce, dès que possible, tout en tenant compte des besoins, des pressions découlant de la pandémie et des autres services cliniques », a-t-elle ajouté.

L’HCC continue de fonctionner à plein régime ou presque. La reprise sera graduelle et évaluée attentivement pour que l’établissement puisse intervenir rapidement face à une

constituant pas une urgence majeure, puis ultimement de ces interventions pour les patients hospitalisés, a dit Despatie.

Pour le moment, l’HCC communiquera uniquement avec les patientes et les patients admissibles dont la chirurgie ou l’intervention a été reportée, et ce, afin de fixer une nouvelle date. On invite les personnes à consulter le site web de l’HCC au www.cornwallhospital. ca/fr/Chirurgie pour obtenir les informations les plus récentes

Le plan de vaccination de l’Ontario contribue à freiner la propagation et à sauver des vies. Des milliers de gens se font vacciner tous les jours aux quatre coins de la province. À mesure que les vaccinations se poursuivent, nous devons continuer de protéger nos proches. Portez un masque. Lavez-vous les mains. Respectez l’écart sanitaire.

Les aires de conservation et les rampes de mise à l’eau de la CNS sont ouvertes COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS

FINCH, Ontario - La CNS a rouvert les rampes de mise à l’eau, les points d’accès aux rivières et certaines aires de conservation au public, en prenant certaines précautions relatives à la COVID-19.

Les pêcheurs à la ligne et les plaisanciers de tout le territoire de 4 441 km2 de la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) dans l’Est de l’Ontario peuvent se préparer (en toute sécurité) pour la saison.

Les structures de jeux sont ouvertes, mais les toilettes resteront fermées pendant le décret ordonnant de rester à domicile. Veuillez ne visiter ces aires qu’avec les membres de votre propre famille. N’oubliez pas de porter un masque lorsque vous utilisez les installations ou que vous êtes en contact étroit avec d’autres personnes.

La CNS rappelle aux usagers que les directives de distanciation doivent continuer à être suivies : veuillez tenir vos animaux en laisse, ne pas jeter de détritus et ne pas vous rassembler sur les sentiers, dans les aires de pêche ou de stationnement, ou sur les quais.

Il est également dangereux et illégal, en vertu de la Loi fédérale sur les pêches, de pêcher à moins de 23 mètres d’un barrage : veuillez ne pas pêcher près des barrages ni utiliser les structures de contrôle des eaux pour accéder aux rivières. Les poissons se rassemblent dans ces endroits pour accéder aux échelles à poissons et passer au-dessus des barrages. La pêche empêche de nombreuses espèces de poissons de frayer, ce qui pose des risques importants pour les populations de poissons. Veuillez utiliser des lieux

de pêche sûrs et appropriés.

Investissement de plus de 5 millions dans les écoles du CSDCEO COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE CSDCEO

ONTARIO - Afin de relever les défis auxquels sont confrontées les écoles en raison de la COVID-19, le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) bénéficiera d’un financement totalisant 5 083 806 $. Ce financement provient du «Volet infrastructures Résilience à la COVID-19 - projets liés à l’éducation» (VIRCV-EDU) dans le cadre du «Programme d’infrastructures Investir dans le Canada» (PIIC).

Ces fonds permettront de réaliser quatre catégories de travaux auprès de 21 écoles,

comprenant l’installation de fontaines d’eau mains libres, l’amélioration de systèmes de purification d’air et d’étanchéité des conduits, le remplacement d’unités de chauffage, de ventilation, d’air climatisé et de filtration d’air, et enfin la rénovation et reconfiguration d’espaces. « Ces nouveaux fonds nous permettent de financer des projets dont l’objectif principal est de concrétiser les avantages en matière de santé et de sécurité dans nos écoles afin d’aider à limiter la transmission du virus responsable de la COVID-19. Depuis le début de la pandémie, nous travaillons de pair avec

le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) et le ministère de l’Éducation afin d’assurer la santé et le bien-être de nos élèves, de leurs familles, des membres de notre personnel et toute notre communauté scolaire.», de partager M. François Turpin, directeur de l’éducation et secrétaire.

Johanne Reader says: Now that million if not billions of dollars have been spent in the last 2 decades or more to make Ontario bilingual.

Quebec legislators are putting a push on in Bill 96 to have all employees in Quebec speak French in the work place only. So English speaking business are forced to fire English and hire French only.. I smell something dirty.

So we should go back to English only Right?

This picture was taken at Cornwall Ribfest in 2016. It was the first year of the Shorty Jenkins Classic curling event. WFG was major sponsor of the event & WFG had a booth at Ribfest with a Jennifer Jones cut-out. My husband Gary & I have been to the Shorty Jenkins Classic & saw many of the “big” names in curling but never had our picture taken with them. Gary volunteers his time every year to take photographs of all the curlers at the Classic which may be seen on the Shorty Jenkins website.

Seen on Facebook: I feel like Canadian Tire REALLY deserves a pat on the back for their curbside pickup. I had a huge order that I put in yesterday morning, and I forgot a few things so I put in another order later at night. The app told me that the second order would be ready by Thursday, but they somehow noticed that I had another order and fulfilled it.

This is Henry, his personality is as big as his bat ears. If you see Henry out on a walk make sure you stop to say hello.

1. WASH IT REGULARLY Washing and waxing your car helps prevent the body and paint from getting damaged by corrosive debris such as road salt. Additionally, keeping your windshield, windows, mirrors and lights spotless improves how well you can see while driving.

2. CLEAN THE INTERIOR It doesn’t take long for dust, dirt and crumbs to collect inside your car. In addition to causing odours, contaminants can lead to bacteria growth and compromise the air quality in your car’s cabin. Keep the interior of your vehicle tidy by regularly vacuuming the seats and carpets, wiping down surfaces with a disinfectant cloth and replacing the cabin air filter as needed.

3. KEEP UP WITH ROUTINE CARE To prevent breakdowns, make sure to get your car regularly serviced. Refer to the user’s manual to determine the recommended maintenance schedule for your type of car. Even better, find a reliable mechanic who can suggest a maintenance timeline after inspecting and servicing your vehicle.
