Election 2021: Duncan re-elected; Liberals return with a minority NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Incumbent StormontDundas-South Glengarry Conservative MP Eric Duncan was re-elected with 13,554 votes with 150 of 250 polls in the riding reporting at time of writing on Monday, Sept.

20.

Liberal candidate Denis Moquin had 5,414, NDP candidate Trevor Kennedy received 2,880 votes, PPC candidate David Anber received 1,916 and Green Party candidate Jeanie Warnock received 571 votes at time of writing.

Nationally, at 11:30 p.m., the Liberal Party was projected to return with a minority government, with the distribution of seats in Parliament being very close to what they were before the election.

At Duncan’s campaign party at the Wing House in Cornwall on Monday night, Duncan felt optimistic for the new Parliament.

“Canadians have sent a clear message that they want the parties to work together,” he said.

After the 2019 election, even though the Conservative Party gained seats, without being able to form government, their then

Leader Andrew Scheer was ousted from the leadership. Duncan said he did not foresee the same fate for current leader Erin O’Toole.

“It is the Liberal’s failure here and no one else’s,” he said, saying that he believed that O’Toole performed well during the 36-day election campaign.

Duncan said that he believed the biggest issue the new Parliament faced was one of national unity. Duncan told the media that he believed that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had divided the country with this election and the COVID-19 vaccine, with Duncan going on to say that Trudeau has deepened the divide

between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.

Duncan thanked his campaign team, including Adrian Bugelli, and Sam McDonell.

He also thanked his mentor, former Conservative MP Guy Lauzon who celebrated with Duncan on Monday night.

“What I liked about Eric’s campaign is that he ran it the way I used to,” Lauzon said.

“Peddle to the metal and all out.”

Voter turnout overall appeared down from 2019, with a little over 30 per cent of total voter turnout with 150 of 250 polls reporting, around half of the total from 2019.

compete in their school sports leagues. Given the ongoing concerns of COVID-19, schools have developed a set of safety protocols in accordance with the CDSBEO School Re-Entry Plan, as well as the Return to Sport guidelines outlined by local public health. The board will continue to collaborate with public health to ensure student safety, and with this in mind, may alter sports guidelines and protocols as needed throughout the school year in response to updated recommendations.

Earlier this month, we were pleased to also highlight the many HVAC ventilation and air quality improvements in our school facilities.

Director Cameron and I were pleased to have Minister Steven Clark join us in seeing some of the upgrades. The CDSBEO has worked diligently over the past year and a half to

make significant improvements in optimizing air quality in classrooms and learning environments in all its facilities, with investments totaling $6.8M. These improvements are a key element in the multiple protective strategies the CDSBEO has in place to support healthy and safe learning environments for students and staff. We encourage parents to visit the CDSBEO website (www.cdsbeo. on.ca) to view the School Re-entry Plan 2021, and to learn more about the significant ventilation projects completed within the board’s facilities.

In conclusion, we wish all our students and staff a safe and happy return to another school year.

EDUCATION MATTERS TODD LALONDE

The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario was excited to welcome students back to the classroom on Tuesday, September 7, for the 2021-2022 school year.

To ensure a safe start-up, CDSBEO administration and the Board of Trustees reviewed and updated the School Re-entry Plan for the new school year, which was sent out to all

families on Wednesday, August 25. The plan includes many details on the health and safety considerations that have been implemented, and the updates are based on current Ministry of Education and public health guidance. The plan continues to be subject to change and is guided by direction from Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, the Ministry of Education, and local public health.

It is based on the best available information and conditions related to COVID-19, and it will continue to evolve and be adjusted, where required, in response to public health advice and information.

Local public health has given schools permission to resume participation in interschool sports, and the board looks forward to our athletes once again having the opportunity to

Liberals fail to make ground while Anber surpasses the Greens MARC BENOIT, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario - The brief few moments of excitement and anticipation soon faded as polls officially closed on Monday, September 20, 2021. A familiar feeling amongst Liberal campaign supporters, following the third federal election in a row that saw their local campaign finish below expectations and behind the Conservative incumbent for StormontDundas-South Glengarry, while Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was re-elected as Canada’s Prime Minister.

“We’ve worked very hard in a short period of time,” said Liberal candidate Denis Moquin. “The Conservatives were a well-organized machine and had a bit of time ahead of us, but I hope everyone understands we’re here, we’re back, and were carrying the Liberal flag.” Moquin went on to congratulate incumbent returning MP Eric Duncan shortly after polls closed, with unofficial results showing Duncan above 50 per cent of the vote.

The NDP managed to remain the third choice for voters in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. NDP candidate Trevor Kennedy was never clearly endorsed by any member of the local electoral district association and did not actively campaign to the same degree as other candidates.

“Tonight demonstrated that progressive voices and interests in this riding are strong

Liberal organizer Christine Paquette, candidate Denis Moquin, and local riding president Abid Hussain were hosting a few volunteers at the campaign office in Cornwall while results came in for the federal election on Mon., Sept 20, 2021 (Marc Benoit/ Seaway News). and we are hopeful this will help build a grassroots effort in the future,” said riding association president Kelsey CatherineYoung. Due to her expanding family situation, Catherine-Young was unable to return as the NDP candidate in 2021.

The People’s Party of Canada candidate David Anber underperformed based on his campaign’s expectations, but still finished ahead of Green Party candidate Jeanie Warnock. Anber had predicted a more surprising result shortly before polls closed.

Anber and his team insisted their campaign had shown the Conservatives had ‘lost their way’.

“We’re heading towards a minority parliament, but I like our momentum and I like our chances,” said Anber. Anber’s campaign had a attracted a lot of support from voters who vocally oppose pandemic measures and felt the Conservative Party of Canada was not going far enough as opposition to the Trudeau Liberals.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall resident Adele Prevost got a special haircut on her birthday on Thursday, Sept. 18 for a good cause. Prevost, who turned 84 on Thursday had her head shaved for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

Prevost said she was inspired to do this fundraiser when her niece, who is 77 and lives in Ottawa, did it first. “I thought that if she can do it, then I can do it,” Prevost said.

Her hair was cut by one of her grandchildren at a birthday party that was held in her honour with her family on Thursday night.

Prevost is still raising money, and plans to end her fundraiser on Sept. 28, which would have been her 64th wedding anniversary.

Those wishing to donate to Prevost are asked to go to CHEO Foundation’s website and search for Adele Prevost

YOU need a car. YOUR loan is here.

Smartphones can make many things easier, but choosing the right device might not be so simple. Here are a few things to evaluate when making a decision.

1. Operating system: A smartphone’s operating system determines its basic functions, design elements and features.

The most common types are iOS and Android. Your best bet is to stick with what you know. If you have other Apple devices, choose an iOS phone. If you’re familiar with using a Windows PC, you’ll likely be more comfortable with an Android phone.

2. Screen size: For the most part, a larger screen will make it easier to use your smartphone and give you more space to enlarge text and buttons. Keep in mind, however, that a bigger phone will also be more cumbersome. Test out different sizes at your local electronics store to find the right fit.

3. Storage capacity: Do you plan on using your smartphone to listen to music, download movies or take a lot of pictures? Make sure the phone you choose has sufficient storage capacity or the option to add a memory card and increase the available space.

4. Cell phone plan: It’s important to

Province provides update on proof of vaccination system CONNOR MCLAUGHLIN, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS

ONTARIO – On Tuesday, Sept. 14 the Ontario government revealed further information on their proposed proof of vaccination system.

As of Sept. 22, 2021, certain businesses will now require patrons to show proof of full vaccination (two doses and a waiting period of 14 days) before they can access the business.

The proof of vaccination policy has been implemented as a final push to get all eligible persons across Ontario vaccinated.

Exemptions to this policy only applies to those unable to get vaccinated due to medical exemptions and children under the age of 11.

Since the initial proposal of their proof of vaccination system, the seven-day average of first doses has increased by 29 percent, from

over 11,400 doses to over 14,700 doses.

Restrictions to businesses include indoor and outdoor seating establishments such as bars, restaurants, casinos, sporting facilities, and nightclubs. As well as open spaced gatherings like sporting events, open spaced conventions, funerals and weddings.

“We are already seeing a rise in the number of cases of COVID-19 as we head into the fall,” said Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health. “As we enter the last mile push to increase vaccination rates, the introduction of a vaccine certificate is an important step to give people the tools to limit further spread of the virus so that we can ensure the safety of all Ontarians while keeping the province open and operational.”

The government of Canada has established multiple helplines to allow all to receive their

proof of vaccination. Vaccination receipts are accessible by all persons through a PDF, that shows all information regarding proof of vaccination. As a part of the last mile strategy implemented by the government, for those unable to print a vaccination receipt, they are advised to call the Provincial Vaccine Booking Line at 1-833-943-3900.

To create more ease of access for businesses, the government is working on a virtuOntario Public Health Officer Dr. Kieran Moore. al QR code that will show proof of vaccination, as well as an enhanced vaccine certificate.

EOHU recommends businesses develop vaccination policies NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU), in a statement to media on Friday, Sept. 17 strongly recommended that businesses come up with their own COVID-19 vaccination policies.

Components of such policies that the EOHU is recommending include COVID-19 prevention measures, including vaccinations and other health measures, requiring proof of vaccination or proof of a medical

exemption, alternatives for unvaccinated employees including more Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), deadlines and consequences for not complying with the policy.

“Businesses and organizations have a responsibility to maintain a safe work environment for workers and volunteers, as well as to protect their clients. This is especially important as the region is experiencing an increase of COVID-19 cases driven by the more transmissible and dangerous Delta variant. Requiring proof of vaccination helps

protect workers from the risks of COVID-19 and encourages everyone to get their shot, while also supporting businesses to keep customers safe, stay open and minimize disruptions,” reads a statement from the EOHU. This comes roughly one week after the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce asked the health unit to not mandate vaccination policies for businesses.

“For the record, we strongly recommended that he not mandate vaccine policies be adopted by businesses,” said Chamber Executive Director Greg Pietersma in an

email to members about his conversations with Dr. Roumelitois.

“The additional operational overhead and potential cost as well as the impact on staffing were not what businesses needed to be burdened with at this moment. We are also concerned about how a vaccine policy would be managed to ensure compliance with Protection of Personal Information policies,” he added.

The full list of recommendations for vaccine policies for businesses can be found on the EOHU website.

The Rotary Foundation Distinguished Service Award, presented to Bette in June, honours people who have demonstrated exemplary service to the Rotary Foundation.

With a wealth of knowledge and the compassionate ability to teach and guide Rotarians, Bette has been vital to the understanding of the goals of the charitable arm of Rotary.

Green Party’s Warnock reflects on campaign NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

ST. ANDREWS WEST, Ontario – StormontDundas-South Glengarry Green Party candidate Dr. Jeanie Warnock watched the results come in for the 2021 federal election with a group of supporters at Quinn’s Inn in St. Andrews West on Monday night, Sept. 20, 2021.

Despite coming in fourth, with 1,156 votes out of 50,599 ballots cast with 99.6 per cent of votes counted as of Tuesday morning, Sept. 21.

Warnock said that she enjoyed the campaign experience and hoped to continue to advocate for local issues after the election.

In particular, she felt strongly that issues relevant to the Mohawk people’s of Akwesasne needed to be addressed, such as the location of the Cornwall Port of Entry and the toll

booth.

Residents of Akwesasne, who live in Canada and are Canadian citizens, must cross through the Canadian Border Ser vices Agency (CBSA) checkpoint when travelling to and

from Cornwall.

“It does seem like systemic racism,” Warnock said.

Seaway News asked Warnock what she heard from riding constituents as she campaigned door-to-door.

“Many were concerned about their voice being heard,” she said. “Some felt that voting was futile because they weren’t Conservatives.”

Warnock said that she hoped to increase the capacity of the Green Party in the riding of Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry.

Unfortunately for Warnock, she gained fewer votes than Raheem Aman, who represented the Greens in the 2019 campaign. In 2019, Aman garnered 2,126 votes, with Warnock getting just 1,156 this election.

Much of the Green vote seemed to transfer to the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) with their candidate David Anber getting 2,800 more votes than the PPC managed to gain in 2019 for a total of 3,874.

Elaine Kennedy, a former Green candidate in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry was at Quinn’s Inn on Monday night and gave her take on the election that was prophetic even before the polls closed.

“I have not been able to decide how it is going to go,” she said. “But I think that

Maxime Bernier and the PPC have put a monstrous wrench in the works.”

Warnock did state that she felt that tensions were running higher in this campaign, and she said that many of her signs had been tampered with or stolen, and that she was aware that similar things had happened to other candidates in the riding.

“There is a lack of common courtesy that is epitomized by the slogan on PPC signs,” she said, Some PPC signs encouraged voters to vote PPC because “The other options suck.”

“We should all refrain from using such juvenile language,” she said.

While her signs are not recyclable, they are designed to be reusable and Warnock said that they can and will be reused by other candidates in future elections.

“I saw a lot of opportunities to create stories based on what I was seeing in my classroom,” said Lee. “I would see issues about kindness and Inclusion, and I would see things that our younger generations needed to work on, with us being the older generation, we need to model these social and life skills,” Lee talked about how even though she writes children’s books, the social and life skills that are present in her writing are universal and can be taken at any age in order

to better oneself.

“I think even adults can relate to this in some sort of way,” declared Lee. Lee has also been partnering with local businesses to create products that she places on her website, authorerinlee.com, specifically her Winnie’s bow, which is a hair accessory product with a portion of proceeds going to charity. The same bow worn by the main character of her newest book.

Tuesday, Sept. 14. Paul Cornelisse, a former member of Walker ClimateCare’s team spent his final days at Hospice, and Walker also wished to thank them for the excellent care he received. The funding will be used by Hospice to cover their operating expenses.

Only a part of Hospice’s expenses are covered through government funding, and they rely on community fundraising to cover the rest.

CORNWALL MEANS BUSINESS

Excellence Inside and Out Walker ClimateCare is not your typical HVAC company. As their website says, they are more than just heating and cooling – both in terms of the products and services offered, but also in terms of their culture.

Inside and outside their office, Walker ClimateCare stands out amongst its peers.

Walker ClimateCare technicians are equipped to handle a range of jobs that extend beyond just your furnace and air conditioner and are trained to work on complex systems including geothermal

systems, water treatment systems, air equipment like HEPA filters, as well as fireplaces including maintenance, service repairs, and installation.

Tom Rand, Branch Manager for Walker ClimateCare said that Walker seeks to be the top of their field. “We’re out there to win and that means that our customers win first,” Rand said. The customers certainly feel the benefit of Walker’s commitment to excellence.

Just look at their Google Reviews!

“I called on a Wednesday...Kate came by the next day and gave us a quote. Brad and Amos came by on Friday morning and by the afternoon our new A/C unit was up and running! We couldn’t be more pleased with the quick courteous service! The office staff were great when I came by to settle the bill! Also...the A/C unit we chose is so quiet! 5-star service plus,” client Roger Daigle wrote in mid-August.

This desire to be the best extends not just to their work out in the field, but to the culture of their office as well. The Walker team expounds their core values of Dependability, Expertise, Pride, Teamwork, and Humility in internal and external interactions.

Rand said that Walker is committed to being one of the top employers in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry and Akwesasne.

Walker’s positive corporate culture is something that their teammates are eager to attest to.

Kimberly Nadler has been working for Walker for almost two years. She’s currently the Install Coordinator and says that working at Walker is like working in a big family.

“We all joke around but when we need to help each other we are there,” she said. “We are like a big family. Anytime I need help everyone is there. They are all helpful, every

“Had crew come back to connect Gas Stove after installing gas line last week (before I had the stove delivered). Great crew Josh & Leo were in and out quickly and tested all worked fine even took my old stove out to my garage (took them no time) but helped me as I could not have done it even with someone else help. Were very pleasant. Would highly recommend them. Hope Walker ClimateCare appreciates their staff as the crew that came in last week were also very pleasant and helpful,” reads another review

by Susan Hoppin.

single one of them. We are always giving 100 per cent to our customers and to each other.”

Darcy Aitkens has been with the company for 15 years. When he started, there were just three installers and one technician. Now the company has grown to have 25 full time team members. One thing that has remained consistent is Walker’s commitment to a high level of service, Aitkens explained.

“Our core values have always been the same as the company has grown,” he said.

“We have maintained the same level of high quality service and because of this, I think we’ve grown naturally.”

Michael McCallum is a Senior Service Technician who has been with Walker for almost three years. McCallum uses his expertise to tackle some of Walker’s more complex jobs, which includes hybrid heating and cooling systems and geothermal systems.

“The team here is really good and that doesn’t end at the door,” McCallum said.

“Management go out of their way to keep track of your personal life and make sure you’re okay.”

McCallum said that the team really pulled together and came through for their clients who needed A/C during the recent summer heatwave.

“One of our team members came in on their day off to help get an A/C unit installed for an elderly client during the heatwave,” said McCallum. “We are really strong on customer satisfaction. The customer comes first.”

In addition to helping their customers, Walker aims to improve the community through its WeCare Gives Back program. The program enables a monthly donation to a local charitable cause and is covered by the Seaway News. Recent recipients include the Bereaved Families of Ontario, Akwesasne Cancer Support Group and the Big Brothers & Big Sisters group.

As Walker ClimateCare approaches its 50th anniversary in 2022, Tom Rand and team seek to continue to be a leader in their field and one of the preeminent workplaces in the region.

When considering Aultsville’s future, also consider the Cornwall Arts Centre NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, September 22, 2021 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

At Cornwall City Council last Monday, St. Lawrence College (SLC) President Glenn Vollebregt hinted at a change in the relationship between the College and the theatre on their Cornwall campus, Aultsville Theatre.

“As our mandate as a college we are not allowed to run facilities and programs that are not part of our mandate,” he said. “And yet I know the importance of Aultsville Theatre and its importance to culture and our community.”

“It’s an amazing place and it’s important that this facility remains successful and remains sustainable,” he went on to say.

Beyond that statement, Vollebregt did not expand on how the nature of the College’s relationship to Aultsville might change and when asked by Seaway News SLC’s communications department said they had nothing to add.

After the meeting I asked Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant for his thoughts and he said that the City might find itself offering financial support to help maintain Aultsville Theatre.

Aultsville Theatre has been an important venue and home for the

arts in Cornwall for many years, and I hope that a resolution is found to keep the theatre alive and financially healthy for years to come. I also believe that Cornwall needs an arts centre to serve as a home for all forms of art, not just those that are show on a stage.

The City of Cornwall purchased the former Bank of Montreal on Pitt St. for $450,000 with the intention of turning that into an arts centre. The most recent estimate pegs the renovations to the building at over $7 million and the City’s Parks and Recreation Department projects that the facility would operate at a deficit.

If the City is going to be considering financially supporting Aultsville Theatre, I think they should look at the state of arts and culture in Cornwall as a whole and ensure that taxpayer dollars are being invested efficiently for maximum return.

Mayor Grant did say that he sees the future Arts Centre on Pitt St. as having a different and distinct character from Aultsville Theatre, but if the City finds itself investing in both, I feel that they should ensure that there isn’t an overlap of service.

Like I said, the Arts Centre requires

$7 million to renovate, is projected to operate at a deficit, and has less available parking when compared to Aultsville Theatre.

Meanwhile, Aultsville Theatre recently had a brand-new lighting system installed, and is a much larger venue. Additionally, if the City does find itself investing more money into Aultsville, then I think there should be concessions given to the city by the College. There is more room in that building than just the auditorium, which Vollebregt already says that the College barely uses. If the City is given more floor space in that part of the campus, then they might be able to fit in all of what they hope to have in the future Arts Centre on Pitt St. Like I said, I am a supporter of Aultsville Theatre and I am a supporter of the idea of having an Arts

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

and Culture Centre in Cornwall, but a vocal number of our readers have been skeptical of the business plan for the Ar ts Centre as well as expressing some concerns over its location.

Finally, I feel that it would be an injustice to taxpayers if the City funded both Aultsville Theatre and the Arts Centre, but did not first consider possible economizations between the two.

I am glad that Mayor Grant requested a report from City administration on the future of Aultsville Theatre and I hope that they take the bigger picture of arts and culture in Cornwall into consideration as they write that report.

Election promises Dear Editor, This is regarding Claude McIntosh’s column about election promises dripping with red ink.

Boy, did he ever hit the nail on the head !

Not one party has laid out a plan to reduce the financial burden on taxpayers.

Here’s my contribution to the cause: Eliminate the Federal personal income tax.

The less money the Feds. receive the less they can give away to foreign governments.

The less travelling the Prime Minister can do which will in turn further reduce our cost.

The less they receive the more they will have to stay out of Provincial matters and perhaps they will concentrate on protecting

our borders.

They have become a poor example of setting examples of reckless spending and buying votes from us by using our own money.

Are Claude and I the only two that can figure this out or are there enough others around to demand accounting and an end to reckless spending and stupid

Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry got a fresh coat of blue Monday night as Conservative incumbent Eric Duncan piled up another landslide victory.

Neither Duncan’s victory nor its size was a surprise. Even Liberals, in their hearts, knew the campaign was doomed to fail in an election most of us didn’t want.

To borrow a sports adage, the outgunned Denis Moquin team came into the game playing for pride.

Duncan, elected to his first term in 2019, has picked up where his predecessor Super Guy Lauzon left off. He personifies the adage that all politics is local. No question he attracted a big chunk of soft Liberal votes and even a handful of die-hards.

The last time the local Liberals tasted victory was Bob Kilger’s 2000 win, but the writing was on the wall. The Conservative vote was split between Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservatives. Combined, they had 400 more votes than Kilger. In 2004 a marriage of the two parties produced a solid Conservative victory and ever since it has been clear sailing.

At last look (when this was being written early Tuesday morning), CTV News had Duncan with 28,101 votes (55.5%).

Moquin was far back with 11,886 (23.5%).

If those numbers hold, Duncan did better than in 2019 when he garnered 53.9%, while the Liberal percentage dipped to 23.5% from 25.63%.

Nobody wants to lose but for People’s Party of Canada (PPC) candidate David Anber his 3,874 votes – 7.7% - was a

“victory”. It was a big leap from 1,168 votes in 2019, which translated into just 3.96%. Until his candidacy was announced, few in the riding had heard of him. He was just a name on the ballot.

Next up will be a provincial election and Jim McDonell’s team has to be feeling good about Monday night’s results that showed the Conservative vote remains strong in SDSG. The buzz in Liberal circles is the local provincial association has lined up a “cracker jack” candidate they believe can take down McDonell.

Looking at Monday night’s disastrous results, for the Liberals, I say bonne chance.

HERE AND THERE I paid $15,000 for my first house (back in the other century) and carried a $13,000 mortgage at 6 1/2 per cent. I was making $10,000 a year and the lady at the bank, pointing out that it was “big responsibility” for somebody with a young family, asked if I thought I could handle the payments and property taxes? ... Remember when a price increase was called a price increase? I just got an e-mail from my internet provider telling me all the wonderful things they have done to speed up my internet. There was no mention of a “price increase”. However, there would be a “price adjustment” of $3.50 a month. ... I’m still waiting for my friends talking up electric vehicles to buy one. ... Just wondering: Do they still give out a pillow when a Canadian senator is sworn in? ... Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, poster girl for the ultraleft, showed up at a $35,000-a-plate fundraiser in New York City wearing an expensive outfit that carried the message “Tax the Rich”. Rather than drive to the event from her swank D.C. townhouse in her (very) expensive Tesla, she arrived by limo. ... Questions not ask of

Tri-County Literacy Council celebrates International Literacy Day and National Truck Driving Day PROVIDED BY THE TRI-COUNTY LITERACY COUNCIL CORNWALL, Ontario - Tri-County Literacy Council celebrated International Literacy Day and National Truck Driving Day on Saturday, September 18th, 2021, in front of TCLC located on 101 Second Street West in Cornwall.

The outdoor event and celebration included guest speakers, cupcakes from Fairy Sweet, a colouring contest, prizes and giveaways, and live busker music.

Special guests included Senator Bernadette Clement, MPP Jim McDonell, Mayor Glen Grant, TCLC Executive Director Dina McGowan, Take the Wheel Ontario Project Supervisor Carolyn Eva, TCLC Volunteer Coordinator Carol Anne Maloney, and Volunteer Margaret MacDonald.

“We are happy to welcome such wonderful guests to celebrate literacy. Literacy is essential to a community’s economic development, whether it is Cornwall, Toronto, or any other community. In terms of economic development, it means that we need to increase our upgrading programs to

continually create a viable workforce.

Cornwall, like any city, is striving for sustained economic growth. To do so, it must create a workforce with the skills required to meet an ever-changing economy. Therefore, it is important we ensure our economy is diversified,” says Executive Director Dina McGowan.

Also, The Panda from Fresh Radio 104.5 broadcasted live on the front lawn of TriCounty Literacy till 2 pm. After that, Keegan Larose played a live music set. Keegan Larose recently returned to Cornwall and has become a music teacher at O’Neil Studios Instructors Group.

The first International Literacy Day was declared by UNESCO 55 years ago, in 1966.

The day aims to highlight the importance of literacy to individuals, communities, and societies. Celebrations take place in numerous countries around the world.

While National Truck Driving Day celebrates the importance of the truck driving profession. Take the Wheel Ontario had their mobile recruitment centre set up where people could win fabulous prizes, including

baseball caps, hoodies, and more.

“From food, consumer good, supplies, and more – the trucking industry keeps the engine of the economy roaring. A shortage of truck drivers could put the brakes on economic growth,” says Project Coordinator

Carolyn Eva. Take the Wheel aims to educate people about how to enter the trucking industry and the various types of jobs related to the sector, including dispatch, mechanics, loaders, and more.

Goslings Initiative starts new contest CONNOR MCLAUGHLIN, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS

Things that sheep need…

“It is no accident that God has chosen to call us sheep,” wrote Phillip Keller. “The behaviour of sheep and humans is similar in many ways… Sheep do not ‘just take care of themselves’ as some might suppose. They require, more than any other class of livestock, endless attention and meticulous care.” (A Shepherd looks at the 23rd Psalm, Phillip Keller, 1979).

For example, God created most animals with an uncanny instinct to find their way home. But if a sheep strays into unfamiliar territory, they are lost, disoriented and cannot find their way back, as we see in the parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:3-7).

Sheep need shepherds to guide them, provide for them, protect them, and sometimes rescue them from harm.

Sheep spend most of their time eating and drinking, but if they are lost, they are almost helpless to find adequate food and water. They will eat what is healthy for them and also what is noxious or poisonous. They can easily overgraze a pasture as well. They need to be led to water that is not

impure or stagnant, not too hot or too cold, and not moving, lest they fall in where they will easily get weighed down and drown. That’s why the psalmist refers to “quiet waters” in Psalm 23:2.

Sheep are also in need of additional care in grooming and shearing. Their naturally oil/lanoline-rich fleece readily attracts dirt and debris.

They are naturally passive and defenseless against predators. A shepherd is necessary to continually be on guard against attack. It is not surprising that Jesus likened the disoriented, confused and spiritually lost crowds in his day to ‘flocks of sheep, without shepherds’ (Matt. 9:36, Mark 6:34). The prophet Isaiah had previously likened humanity’s lost condition to that of stray sheep, “All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way.” (Isa. 53:6). It’s amazing how we still, so many years later (and not likely sheep farmers) can appreciate quickly the imagery and relevance for the 21st century! We are sheep in God’s flock!

He provides for our needs!

The International Lake Ontario St. Lawrence River Board, which regulates water levels on the St. Lawrence River, approved a small increase to water levels to help boaters.

Over part of the Thanksgiving weekend, water flowing through the Moses Saunders Dam in Cornwall will be reduced by 250 cubic metres per second.

This temporary cut will increase water levels on Lake St. Lawrence by 10 centimetres, or about four inches.

In 2020, the ILOSLR board approved a cut

allowing water levels to increase between 30 and 40 cm.

Lower-than-forecast spring runoff and a dry summer prompted water level warnings throughout the region. That combined with extreme heat warnings that evaporated water off the lower Great Lakes affected water levels on the river and Lake St. Lawrence.

With any cut in water flow through the power dam, weather will be a factor. Excessive wind during that time could cancel any effects of the increased water levels. The increased level of water in the lake will be seen more towards Long Sault in the east, and less so towards Iroquois.

The ILOSLR is set to begin its water flow reductions at noon on October 8. The boat

North Glengarry seeks to find new homes for stray dogs NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Char-Lan’s annual Take your Tractor to School Day returns PROVIDED BY THE UCDSB WILLIAMSTOWN, Ontario – Farm equipment filled the parking lot at Char-Lan District High School today for their third annual Take your Tractor to School Day. Students, staff and community members drove the streets of Williamstown to the school where they parked their tractor for the school day. Many classes took turns admiring the machines throughout the day.

The purpose of the tradition is to celebrate the school and community’s strong connection to farming.

One of the main attractions is the Munro Agromart sprayer, an addition from a local business based out of Lancaster.

“Our students and community are proud of their agricultural background,” says Principal Trevor Wheeler. “This event is one of the ways we can share the excitement.”

Char-Lan offers a Specialist High Skills Major program focusing on agriculture where senior students gain certifications and training courses related to the field and graduate with a Red Seal on their diploma.

The adoption program is not funded by the Township, but is designed to be self-sufficient with individuals who choose to adopt a dog paying for expenses incurred by the Township.

“For now the program will operate for as long as it works, residents of North Glengarry seem to be enjoying the program and we are getting great feedback. As long as we have man power and costs can be recovered, we will continue to work that way for stray dogs,” Rheaume wrote.

The adoption form can be found on the Township website.

NORTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The Township of North Glengarry is dealing with a higher than normal number of stray dogs. To help cope with the issue and find these furry friends a forever home, the Township has posted an animal adoption form on their website.

Jacob Rheaume the Township’s Director of Building, By-law and Planning says that his department typically deals with about 25 stray dogs every year, but that this year, due to the pandemic, the problem seems to be more prevalent.

“We have also seen an increase in dogs since the pandemic as people were all stuck at home and decided to have a dog for company. Some of them realized it was not for them, and simply let the dog go, sadly,” Rheaume said in an emailed statement to Seaway News.

Dogs who are picked up by the Township are taken to a new municipally run dog pound, which is heated, accessible and safe for both the public and the dogs. Additionally, the Township has made arrangements to keep stray dogs at some of the local kennels should that need arise.

“Your position is no longer available” NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Just imagine the hundreds of trades, occupations and professions that no longer exist. There they are, the workers who are now redundant. Let’s go talk with a few of them.

“What did you do for a living?”

“As soon as travellers hopped off the cab or the bus at the station or terminal, people used to look for me to carry their suitcases.

Then some wise guy put wheels on them and I was out of a job.”

“And what about you?”

“My two buddies and I used to be the third, fourth and fifth members of the flight crew. I monitored and controlled the engines and the hydraulics. He pored over maps and shot with a sextant. The other guy worked the radios. Now there’s just the pilot and co-pilot up front. They do everything.”

“And what about you, Ma’am?”

“I was the one who checked the copy submitted by the reporters. None of them knew the difference between ‘its and it’s’, or what product names had to be capitalized. They hadn’t discovered the importance of punctuation or paragraphing. Then came Spell

Check, auto-correct, on-line thesaurus and Wiki.”

Let’s talk with that glum guy sitting over there: “What did you do?”

“Well, it was boring, but I sure got to say hello to a lot of people every day. Most had the right change, because I got to see them five days a week. It was the tourists who had to fumble for the right amount. Some held up the flow by asking how far is it to the next washroom or campsite. Now the regulars have a SpeedPass. The others just swipe their credit cards.”

There’s someone over there who says he’s done a lot of travelling. “So tell us about your travels.”

“I had a rail car all to myself at the end of the train. Whenever we had to switch onto a siding in the yard, or deal with a car with a hot bearing, I was the man. These days, it’s all acronyms. I’ve been replaced by an ETD, also called an EOT and a FRED, an SBU and an HTD, nicknamed ‘Wilma’. Just put those terms in your search engine to find out what they mean. You must know what a search ‘engine’ is! It’s not steam, nor diesel or electric.

I could go on and on. There are so many occupations out there that no longer exist.

How sure are you that the work you’re doing today won’t be done by a machine?

CORNWALL, Ontario – Nationally-known publisher, geography advocate, entrepreneur and mentor Gilles Gagnier passed away suddenly on Friday, Sept. 10 at the Cornwall Community Hospital. He was 51.

Gagnier was a true renaissance man who became involved in a variety of ventures and interest, but he is most known for his contributions to the field of geography. Gagnier served as Chief Operating Officer of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society (RCGS) and was a publisher for Canadian Geographic.

“He has been more than just a colleague and organizational leader; he was a dear friend and an incredible mentor,” said Society CEO John Geiger, following Gilles’ passing.

“He has been a crucial part of the success the RCGS has enjoyed over recent years and he devoted his working life to the Society and Canadian Geographic.”

At the time of his death, Gagnier has spent 21 years of his professional life working for the Royal Canadian Geographic Society and Canadian Geographic magazine as well as their online publications.

Gagnier was a driving force behind the Society’s Canadian Geographic’s Indigenous People’s Atlas of Canada, and was a producer of the acclaimed documentary film Returning Home. He also served as President

of 50 Sussex Drive Inc, and as a member of the Board of Magazines Canada.

He was an Honorary Fellow of the RCGS and a recipient of the Society’s Erebus Medal.

GILLES GAGNIER In addition to his passion for his career in geography, Gagnier had a wide range of interests. He was a graduate of the Culinary Arts Program from George Brown University and was a part owner of the Cornwall business Bistro 226. He also played in the World Poker Tournament in Las Vegas twice; and was widely travelled to such places as the Arctic, China, and across Canada. Locally, he had recently been appointed to the Board of ACCFutures which is based in Cornwall.

Gagnier is survived by his wife Nancy Kelly, parents Ronald Gagnier and Elreen (née Lefebvre), sisters Claire Pecore (Rick) and Denise Gagnier Acker (partner Jerry Pinksen), in-laws Terry and Réjeanne Kelly, sister-in-law Joanne Lefebvre (Pat), as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and his nephews Preston, Cole and Sean. As well as his close friends Marc Besner (Tina), Mike Elston (Michelle), Brian McDonald (Andrea) and Dan Piché (Sue).

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA… – …but gone in our neck of the woods. Patent leather, suede and a disposable fashion mentality have all but eliminated the ‘shoe-shine boy’ from our workforce.

La CNS préconise une chasse sécuritaire et responsable en début de saison 2021 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS

18 - Le mercredi 22 septembre, 2021

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

Alors que les journées chaudes et humides font place aux matins frais et vivifiants, la transition de l’été à l’automne signale le début d’une période de l’année passionnante pour plus de 425 000 résidents de l’Ontario : la saison de chasse !

La Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS), qui possède et gère plus de 13 000 acres de forêts communautaires, de terres humides et de prairies dans son bassin versant de 4 441 km2 dans l’Est de l’Ontario, reconnaît que la chasse est une tradition bien ancrée pour de nombreux résidents locaux et est heureuse d’offrir plus de 8 500 acres de terres accessibles pour la chasse avec permission.

Les terres de la CNS sont gérées, restaurées et entretenues de façon durable à des fins récréatives et pour la protection du patrimoine naturel. Certaines de ces zones protégées offrent diverses possibilités de chasse pour des espèces telles que le cerf, l’orignal, la sauvagine, le gibier et le lapin.

Les frais de permis soutiennent les activités de gestion des terres et le Programme d’apprentissage à la chasse pour jeunes de la CNS. Le coût d’un permis de chasse sur certaines propriétés de la CNS est de 100 $ pour les résidents du bassin versant, payé à

l’Office de protection de la nature. Les chasseurs doivent respecter toutes les règles de l’Office de protection de la nature, les règlements provinciaux, les règlements municipaux (p. ex. la chasse au fusil le dimanche) et les bonnes pratiques générales de chasse.

Il est illégal de chasser sur les terres protégées de la CNS sans un permis de l’Office de protection de la nature. Les chasseurs doivent avoir leur permis de chasse de la CNS sur eux en tout temps, ainsi qu’un ou des permis de chasse provinciaux et/ou fédéraux valides et des timbres et/ou des étiquettes. Ils sont également tenus de fournir une preuve d’assurance responsabilité à la CNS. Consultez le Résumé des règlements de la chasse de l’Ontario et le Résumé des règlements de la chasse aux oiseaux migrateurs pour connaître les saisons et les limites.

Les membres des communautés des Premières nations n’ont pas besoin de permission de la CNS pour chasser à des fins alimentaires, sociales ou cérémonielles sur leur territoire traditionnel ou visé par un traité.

Les chasseurs doivent toujours faire preuve de prudence et porter des vêtements très visibles lorsqu’ils accèdent aux terres de la CNS, car ils peuvent partager la forêt avec d’autres chasseurs, ainsi qu’avec des

randonneurs ou des observateurs d’oiseaux.

Les utilisateurs de sentiers peuvent porter un gilet ou une veste orange chasseur et un chapeau. Si vous vous promenez avec un chien, il est conseillé de le vêtir d’une couverture ou d’un T-shirt de couleur vive.

La chasse est interdite dans les aires de conservation publiques de la CNS dotées de réseaux de sentiers gérés. Les résidents peuvent accéder à l’outil de cartographie en ligne de la CNS à l’adresse www.nation. on.ca pour savoir quelles propriétés de l’Office de protection de la nature sont autor-

isées à la chasse.

Pour signaler le braconnage et d’autres violations de chasse ou des ressources naturelles, veuillez appeler la ligne provinciale de signalement au 1-877-847-7667.

Pour plus d’informations et pour accéder à la CNS veuillez appeler le 1-877-984-2947 ou visiter le site Web : www.nation.on.ca/ recreation/hunting-and-trapping.

Le BSEO recommande fortement des politiques de vaccination contre la COVID-19 dans les milieux de travail COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LE BSEO CORNWALL, Ontario - La quatrième vague de la pandémie de COVID-19 prenant de

l’ampleur, le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) recommande fortement à tous les employeurs locaux de mettre en place des politiques de vaccination pour le

324112

lieu de travail afin de protéger leurs travailleurs et le public. Pour les aider à adopter cette recommandation, le BSEO a publié des directives visant l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de politiques de vaccination contre la COVID-19 : Recommandation de politiques sur la vaccination contre la COVID-19 en milieu de travail : Renseignements à l’intention des employeurs.

Les entreprises et les organisations sont responsables de maintenir un milieu de travail sûr pour les travailleurs et les bénévoles, ainsi que pour leurs clients. C’est surtout important alors que la région connaît une hausse de cas de COVID-19, causée par le variant delta plus transmissible et dangereux. Non seulement exiger une preuve de vaccination aide à protéger les travailleurs des risques de la COVID-19, cela encourage tout le monde à se faire vacciner et les entreprises à garder leurs clients en sécurité, à rester ouvertes et à minimiser les perturbations.

Les nouvelles directives offrent aux employeurs des points clés à considérer lors de l’élaboration et de la mise en œuvre de leurs politiques sur la vaccination. Les politiques de vaccination sur le lieu de travail doivent être rédigées et adhérer aux lois

sur la santé et la sécurité au travail, sur la confidentialité et les droits de la personne, ainsi qu’à toute législation sur les normes d’emploi et les ententes collectives. Les milieux à risque élevé qui sont obligés par le gouvernement de l’Ontario de mettre en place des politiques sur la vaccination en milieu de travail doivent adhérer aux exigences provinciales.

Pour faciliter l’accès à la vaccination, le BSEO continue à inviter les milieux de travail, les organisations communautaires, les lieux de culte et tous les autres groupes à organiser sur place des cliniques de vaccination coordonnées avec le bureau de santé.

Veuillez consulter Demande de clinique temporaire de vaccination contre la COVID19 à www.BSEO.ca/vaccins pour les détails sur l’organisation d’une clinique de vaccination temporaire sur place.

Pour de plus amples renseignements sur la COVID-19, incluant des conseils pour les partenaires communautaires et les entreprises, de l’information sur la vaccination, les plus récents développements locaux, et bien plus encore, allez à www.BSEO.ca/ coronavirus.

CORNWALL, Ontario – As fall begins the birth rate of stray kittens is on the rise.

In an interview with Seaway News, Anna Carriere, of the Calico House Cat Rescue and a very passionate member of the animal community, explained that she was seeing an increase in the number of feral cats at an extremely rapid rate.

The feral cat problem has grown over the past several years. In 2017, a petition was

signed by citizens and given to the City of Cornwall, asking that the situation be addressed.

In that same year, over 30 per cent of the provincial feral cats taken in by the OSPCA, were from the Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry animal center. Carriere stated that this year in particular, has had the local cat rescues overwhelmed by the extreme number of kittens being born, saying that it has most likely been due to the warm weather.

“I get messages every day about feral cats, at least four of them,” Carriere said. “I think they (the OSPCA) are doing everything they can with the resources that they have.”

“Unfortunately, they are receiving very little support from major City officials, the public not helping, with people who don’t spay and neuter, people that dump cats, they are in a boat that is sinking, with a bucket to get rid of the water.”

Carriere talked about how she must pick up deceased cats from the road. She said that the City does not act until the cat has decomposed to such a state that it becomes bloated and difficult to remove from the road.

She went on to talk about how she rescued a four-month-old kitten who was in a collision with a passing vehicle. The injury was grave and the only option was for the kitten to be humanely euthanized.

OBITUARY

DEATH NOTICES

ETHERINGTON, Joan 1928-2021

324443

JAYES Walter Dale

W. Dale Jayes of Raleigh, NC, died Sunday, September 12, 2021, at the age of 90 after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease and the related dementia.

He was born in Toronto, the son of the late Walter George and Marguerite DeRousie Jayes. Dale grew up in Cornwall, Ontario, graduated high school from Cornwall Collegiate & Vocational School, and then earned a degree in electrical technology at Ryerson Institute of Technology in Toronto, followed by an industrial engineering degree from Georgia Tech. This would lead to a 33-year career with Westinghouse Electric Corporation, primarily in Raleigh and Athens, GA. Dale’s greatest joy was his 63-year marriage to Miriam Kyte Jayes (Mirilou). Together with their three children they enjoyed regular trips to visit family in Cornwall, as well as many camping trips, from Nova Scotia to the Florida Keys. After Dale’s retirement, they cherished trips to many other countries as well. Dale particularly enjoyed sailing over the years on Lake Gaston and Lake Lanier. In his quiet moments, Dale was an avid reader with a strong interest in history and non-fiction. Dale is preceded in death by his parents Walter and Marguerite of Cornwall; his sister Hilda Levi of Chattanooga, TN; and his granddaughter Christina Jayes of Raleigh. Dale is survived by his wife Mirilou, his son Kevin (Friederike) of Cary, NC; his son Brent (Diana) of Raleigh and their son Austin; his daughter Jennifer Whichard (John) of Rocky Mount, NC and their son Zachary, (Lindsey), and their sons Ryder and Silas; his sister Marcia Tughan (Ron) of Nepean, ON; and many nephews, nieces, and friends. A visitation was held from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 16 at Renaissance Funeral Home and Crematory at 7615 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, NC 27615. Dale was laid to rest Friday at Pine Forest Cemetery, Wake Forest, in a private family service. If desired, memorial contributions can be made to the Optimist Club of Wake Forest (P.O. Box 1992, Wake Forest, NC 27588).

MOÏSE, Roger

Mr. Roger Moïse passed at his home in the early morning of September 13, 2021 surrounded by his loving wife of 68 years and his four children. At the age of 86, he lost his very courageous 10 year battle with cancer. A life time business man, he co-founded Marlborough Wholesale Co. Ltd and was very active in many committees and fundraisers throughout the community. He was a charter and lifetime honorary member of Knights of Columbus Council 5068, President of St Lawrence Christopher Corporation.

He loved his Florida vacations and his Sunday afternoons with family. His passing leaves an enormous void in the hearts of everyone who knew him. Survived by his wife Jeannine (née Bergeron), his son, Denis (Marlene), his daughters, Micheline Boals (late George), Colette McCullough (Richard), Joanne McCullough (Michael), ten grand-children, eleven great grand-children and his sister, Pauline Poitras (late Roger). Predeceased by his parents, Willie Moïse and Rhéa (née Fournier) and his brother Raynald. Attendance controlled visitation was held at Lahaie & Sullivan Cornwall Funeral Homes West Branch, (613-932-8482) on Thursday, September 16, 2021. Mass of Christian Burial was Celebrated in St. Peter’s Parish on Friday, September 17, 2021. Interment followed at Nativity Cemetery. In Memoriam Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society appreciated.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Joan Patricia Etherington (née Hartwell) on Monday, September 13, 2021 at the Cornwall Community Hospital at the age of 93 years. Born August 8, 1928 in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, England. Beloved wife of the late Vernon Etherington. Loving mother of Lisa Runions (David), Cornwall, On and Jane Etherington, Victoria, BC. Cherished grandmother of Rebecca, Sarah and Patrick. She is survived by several cherished nieces and nephews in Canada and abroad. She leaves behind her beloved bird, Kiwi. Joan has left her mark on the world, through the many lives she and her husband touched and nurtured as exceptional foster parents to over 35 children for Children’s Aid Society. She was known as “Mom” to many international students and newcomers to Canada who had the opportunity to reside with her. Joan was a loyal monarchist, avid world traveler, Queen Mary II aficionado, story teller, garage sale enthusiast, lottery ticket buyer and philanthropist.

She was a woman of great faith and conviction. She is predeceased by her parents; the late Thomas Hartwell and the late Mary Ann Hartwell (née McKeown), by her brother; Brendan Hartwell and her sisters; Mary Szulak and Marie Malkowski. In keeping with her wishes, services will be private.

She will be laid to rest at St. Lawrence Valley Cemetery, Long Sault. As expressions of sympathy, Memorial donations to the Heart Institute of Ottawa or to the Cornwall Community Hospital would be appreciated by the family.

One Life Lived So Many Lives Touched It’s lonely here without you, We miss you more each day.

April 15, 1941 – September 22, 2020 It’s been one year since you departed us for heaven. Lionel was a devoted and dedicated man that was very proud of his family and the work that he accomplished as an upholsterer for over 60 years.

He loved to travel with his love Pauline by his side. He also loved the great outdoors, fishing and camping, especially the fishing trips up North with the boys. He loved his wife Pauline and his children Michel and Thérèse, and their spouses. He cherished all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, a great son to his 101-year-old mother, a great brother to his brothers and sisters and a fun brother-in-law and “Oncle Lionel” to many nieces and nephews. Lionel was the “Master of his Domaine” in upholstery and his legacy lives on in people’s homes, businesses and churches in Cornwall and surrounding areas. Lionel had a great sense of humour, was friendly and treated everyone as equals. He had a loveable character and he touched a lot of people’s hearts.

TR Leger welcomes new Canadians PROVIDED BY THE UCDSB

CORNWALL, Ontario – To showcase support for new Canadians, TR Leger Immigrant Services commemorated Welcoming Week.

From September 10-19, 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) celebrates Welcoming Week, an international celebration that brings together new and long-time residents to build strong connections and foster a sense of belonging.

TR Leger Immigrant Services (TRLIS) celebrated at the TR Leger School of Adult, Alternative and Continuing Education, Cornwall Campus in collaboration with its Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) and English as a Second Language (ESL) students.

“For TR Leger School, Welcoming Week is about inspiring people to think about what we can do to ensure everyone thrives and feels welcomed,” says TR Leger Principal Sandy McInnes. “We affirm the importance of the values that unite us as neighbors, friends, and colleagues, regardless of where we come from.”

TR Leger Immigrant Services Settlement Outreach Worker, Rabia Zeeshan, moved to Canada in 2003 and says this experience can last more than a moment. From language barriers to cultural differences, feeling excluded can take years to overcome, which is why she says it’s so important to recognize Welcoming Week and the message behind it.

“Because we all know how it feels to be excluded, we also know how to make others feel they belong to our community,” she says.

“When that happens, communities can fully harness the strengths, talents, and contributions of each person to build shared prosperity. This Welcoming Week, let’s declare that we all have the power to help others, regardless of their background and to make them feel like they are seen, embraced, welcomed, and included in our communities.”

“All people, no matter where we are from, our backgrounds, and how we got here, deserve to be treated with dignity, compassion and respect,” says TR Leger VicePrincipal and Immigrant Services Manager Tracy Armstrong. “Welcoming Week is more than being nice and saying welcome to our

Submitted Photo. community. It is also about the benefits for our region and our economy. We need more high skilled immigrants and entrepreneurs for our community to prosper.”

TR Leger Immigrant Services has been assisting newcomers to Eastern Ontario since 2008. TRLIS is a part of the Upper

Canada District School Board and operates under the TR Leger School. TRLIS is funded

by IRCC, and is dedicated to serving permanent residents, live-in-caregivers and convention refugees with settlement and immigration needs.

City of Cornwall votes to recognize National Day of Truth and Reconciliation NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council passed two resolutions on Monday night to recognize the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation and to adopt the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. On June 3 the Parliament of Canada passed Bill C-5 making Sept. 30 National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, a statutory holiday. Earlier in September, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that the province would not be recognizing the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation as a statutory holiday, but some Ontario municipalities have elected to do so on their own.

Municipalities such as South Stormont have

announced that their municipal offices would be closed on Sept. 30 to mark the occasion.

While Cornwall did pass a motion to recognize the day on Sept. 30, no wording in the motion indicates that any municipal offices in the City of Cornwall would be closed that day.

In the spirit of that motion to recognize Sept. 30, councillors Elaine MacDonald and Justin Towndale put forward a motion to adopt the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). UNDRIP was adopted in 2007 by all UN member nations with the exception of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States; all four of those nations have since adopted UNDRIP with Canada adopting it in 2015.

UNDRIP enshrines certain rights for

Indigenous people’s as outlined below: The Declaration addresses both individual and collective rights, cultural rights and identity, rights to education, health, employment, language, and others. The text says indigenous peoples have the right to fully enjoy as a collective or as individuals, all human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognized in the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the rest of international human rights law.

Indigenous peoples and individuals are free and equal to all other peoples and individuals and have the right to be free from any kind of discrimination, in the exercise of their rights, in particular that based on their indigenous origin or identity. Indigenous peoples have the

right to self-determination. By that right they can freely determine their political status and pursue their economic, social and cultural development. They have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions, while retaining their rights to participate fully, if they choose to, in the political, economic, social and cultural life of the state. –UNDRIP FAQ sheet “This report came out years ago and there hasn’t been much action at higher levels of government . . . but locally we can do something,” said Towndale. “I think this is an important step to solidify our relationship with the Mohawk people’s of Akwesasne.”

Both motions were passed unanimously by Council.

Still seeing a lot of requests for family doctors. With housing prices climbing, you’d assume that means more people moving to the area, and an even greater demand for doctors. I know the City has taken steps to address the issue, but more still needs to be done. Just another effect of the pandemic.

Remember tomorrow the proof of vaccination requirement goes into effect on Wednesday, September 22. If you no longer have your vaccination receipt that you received after getting your second dose. You can download and print off a new one from the provincial vaccination website. Visit cornwallseawaynews.com for more details.

The problem of abandonded dogs in North Glengarry is sad. A lot of people got dogs during the first lockdown and it is sad to see that more than a few are being abandoned now.

COVID-19 vaccination clinics are being held at the Cornwall Square this week. They began on Monday and will end on Friday.

Times are 9-11:45 a.m. and 1pm-3:45pm. A vaccination clinic will also be held on Thursday at the Eastcourt Mall from 12pm-6pm.

Reader says: Cornwall Economic 425 Fourth St. W. Cornwall 613-870-2514 Development Department is doing a great job Reader says: Kudos to big box retailer Walselling land to a large transportation group.

Mart who keeps up with sanitizing the cashes This caller wonders if the buyer is aware of & carts It is greatly appreciated. Thank you. the fact that there are no workers in this town. Lucky for them their business is on wheels and they will have plenty of parking. Is Council doing anything too attract workers to Cornwall? It is time for change, with a smaller Council it will be much easier to make decisions and a ward system would be a big help in getting Cornwall back on track.

Warm rich colours and fragrances with a wonderful crackling sound for those cooler nights.

With cases rising rapidly, especially in schools, it seems like we really weren’t ready for kids to get back to the classroom during a pandemic. After nearly two years of this, you’d think we’d have the hang of it by now.

The Seniors on Wheels free trishaw program ended last Friday. Here is a short story about the program from the City of Cornwall: Madge Condi felt like a queen during her ride on the trishaw. She said it was one of the best days she’d had in the past 10 years, and waved to everyone she passed, including acquaintances she passed along the way.

Thank you to the dozens of volunteers who BDO Cornwall and Alexandria “went the distance.” A blustery Sunday morning 50km bike ride between the Alexandria and Cornwall foodbanks. took part in World Cleanup Day last week and BDO staff and family members rode, cheered and supported and together they have raised $8,000+ and counting for the Agape and St. Vincent helped to keep our city beautiful. de Paul.
