MARC BENOIT, SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – The sunrise broke across the clouds early on the morning of Thursday, Sept. 30, 2021, shining a vibrant orange glow upon the crowd wearing orange t-shirts, gathered to honour the first time the

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a statutory holiday in Canada.

Residents, community leaders from the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, the City of Cornwall, and officials from surrounding townships came together at the former site of the Cornwall Harbour, on land now jointly owned and managed by the Mohawk Council of

Akwesasne and the City of Cornwall, for a traditional tobacco offering.

“We are honoured to have started today with a meaningful ceremony with our neighbours and partners from the City of Cornwall,” said grand chief of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, Abram Benedict.

Federal Indigenous minister visits Akwesasne on National Day of Truth and Reconciliation NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

AKWESASNE – Marc Miller, Canada’s Minister of Indigenous Services visited Akwesasne on Thursday, Sept. 30, the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

Miller met with members of the community including local residential school survivors and Grand Chief Abram Benedict.

“Minister Miller was able to come to our community and do a tour of our community,” Benedict said. “At the meetings with the minister there were survivors there and he was able to talk to them first hand and hear what today means to them and some of their experiences.”

Minister Miller was at the A’nowara’ko:wa Arena on Akwesasne in the evening on Thursday to help community members distribute 250 meals to Akwesasne residents.

Seaway News asked Miller what today meant to him as Minister of Indigenous Services.

“This is a day where people like me should be doing more listening,” he said. “I know people, and rightly so, are asking more action and we need to do it, but this is also a time to think about the history of residential schools and the road ahead and that involves people like me listening, non-Indigenous people in Canada listening, and this was an opportunity to listen to survivors

and listen to elders.”

Miller remarked that the legacy of residential schools was still being felt by the Akwesasne community.

“Akwesasne has a lot of folks that were taken and sent to residential schools or sent to day-schools and that is something that we need to acknowledge as well for even people in and around Cornwall that don’t still yet appreciate the impact of that,” Miller said.

“I don’t want to leave your readers that this is all negative, there are also very strong messages of hope that we’re hearing,” he added.

A significant impact on the daily lives of residents of Akwesasne is the location of the toll booth on the Seaway International Bridge and the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) checkpoint located in Cornwall. Despite living in Canada, Akwesasne residents have to pass through this checkpoint on a daily basis.

In the recent federal election, local candidates, including Conservative MP Eric Duncan, called the location of the CBSA checkpoint as being discriminatory against the residents of Akwesasne. Seaway News asked Miller if he agreed with that assessment.

“Its their lived reality on a daily basis of a border that was imposed on them and their peoples,” he said. “Obviously it isn’t ideal . . . I think there is some progress that has

Canadian Minister of Indigenous Services Marc Miller distributing food to Akwesasne residents on the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation on Thursday, September 30, 2021 (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News). been made, and yes, it does discriminate.”

Benedict hoped that beyond Sept. 30 that Canadians would continue to learn about the history of the residential school system and promote calls to action for reconciliation.

Bentley Hospitality returns with Rock the River Fall Edition NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – After a successful summer series of events on Cornwall’s waterfront, Bentley Hospitality’s Craft Shack will be rolling back into Pointe Maligne for Rock the River Fall Edition.

Taking place from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Oct. 16 at Pointe Maligne, 2 Bergeron Dr., Rock the River Fall Edition will showcase music, food, and the best craft breweries that Ontario has to offer.

Throughout the summer, Bentley Hospitality hosted their Craft Shack Summer Socials one weekend each month. These events were well attended. Bentley Hospitality Founder Ian Bentley credits the success of the summer socials to the unique experience that he was able to offer.

“The success of the summer socials have been mainly due to a desire to bring

something new and exciting to our area.

Focusing on the best craft beer the province has to offer then actually going to get those beers has created a small buzz around the craft beer enthusiast community- both locally and beyond,” Bentley said.

Building on the unique experience of the summer socials, this fall event by adding a stage and a strong line-up of musical acts from across Eastern Ontario.

“We’re starting with our local boys The Chesterfields. These guys absolutely rock, they took the stage over Labour Day weekend and put on a crazy show,” Bentley said. “Our headliner is The Wilderness Band from Kingston which has excited. This band isn’t very well known yet- but it won’t be long before we’ll be able to look back and say remember when we saw them at Pointe Maligne.”

In addition to the music on stage, there will

be a variety of local food to enjoy including offerings from Thai Khmer Cuisine, Weenies on Wheels, and Mexicali Rosa’s.

This food can be paired with beers on tap, including Cameron’s Brewing Company, Fine Balance Brewing, and Bellwoods Brewing or with an Ontario red or white wine, Great Lakes Spirits, something from the whiskey table, or a non-alcoholic option.

Bentley Hospitality is working with public health officials to ensure that the event is fun and safe for everyone. The event will require attendees to show proof of vaccination or to have a negative COVID-19 test 24 hours before the event.

For more information about this or future events from Bentley Hospitality visit bentleyhospitality.ca

FRONT PAGE STORY

Cornwall and MCA start National Day ofTruth and Reconciliation with sunrise smoke ceremony The ceremony was led by Skahentati Thompson, who recited the offering in the Mohawk language. Members of the crowd were asked to hold a small amount of tobacco and send good wishes forward.

Following Thompson, Keena King presented a traditional honour song.

Thompson had to explain to the crowd of mostly non-Mohawk speakers that his words are often recited when the Haudenosaunee gather. Today’s offering

would allow the spirits of the children and teenagers, lost to the Indian Residential School system, to find peace.

“To me it was very educational, it was another aspect of living next door to our neighbor and not knowing them,” said Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant. “With Truth and Reconciliation, and recent partnerships we have, it’s given us more opportunities to understand and gain new respect for the Mohawk Council of

Akwesasne and the residents.”

This year marks the first year that the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Day is a federal statutory holiday in Canada. While the Ontario Government has not officially recognized today as a statutory holiday, most local municipal governments have to some degree. City offices are closed in the City of Cornwall and the Townships of South Stormont and South Glengarry.

“Niawenhkó:wa to the City of Cornwall, Township of South Glengarry and the Township of South Stormont for closing their offices for the day on September 30th, and niawenhkó:wa to the Township of South Dundas and the Township of North Dundas for officially observing September 30,” said the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, in an official statement released earlier this week.

thankful.” The focus here is peace ruling. Let it reign so that you will become thankful! It’s the peace that Christ brings, an aspect of himself and his presence, plus being at peace with God. This peace is calmness even in the face of adversity. It continues: “Let the words of Christ dwell among you richly… with all wisdom… singing to God with thankfulness in your hearts.” Thankfulness comes as you consider where you were, where you are, where you can be by God’s grace! Have in mind a sense of his goodness and thank him. He is the one to whom we are thankful. You might even start with a simple song like we would sing at summer camp; Jonny Appleseed. “Oh, the Lord’s been good to me. And so I thank the Lord for giving me the things I need: The sun and the rain and the apple seed; the Lord’s been good to me.”

The Lord has been so good, we know it… and we need to thank him! Do people ever need to coax thankfulness out of you like thanks is a ‘hundreddollar word’ and we are pretty tight fisted! Try some thanks-giving to God today!

How does thankfulness and thanksgiving work around your house? It’s a common term in the Bible; “eucharisto,” that made its way into English in ‘the Eucharist’ or the giving of Thanks. Rudyard Kipling was a great (and wealthy) writer and poet.

Unlike many old writers, Kipling was one of the few who had opportunity to enjoy his success while he lived. A newspaper reporter once caught up with him; “Mr. Kipling, I just read that somebody calculated that the money you’ve made from your writings amounts to over a hundred dollars a word.” Mr. Kipling raised his eyebrows and replied “Really, I wasn’t aware of that.” The reporter pulled out a $100 bill and cynically offered it to Kipling, “Here’s a $100 bill Mr. Kipling. Now, would you please give me one of your hundred-dollar words.”

Mr. Kipling looked at that $100 bill for a moment, took it and folded it up and put it in his pocket and said, “Thanks!”

Colossians 3:15 in the Bible reads “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be

in retirement homes, possibly because they remind people of pets they might have owned in the past.

A soothing presence Robot pets can help stressed or anxious seniors to relax. They’ve also been shown to alleviate distress in patients with dementia. In some cases, they can help reverse language loss and may reduce the need for medication.

Finally, they promote healthier lifestyles by giving seniors a reason to move and can sometimes help families connect.

Robot pets usually cost between $150 and $200, which make them a relatively affordable way to put a smile on a loved one’s face.

You’ve probably heard of pet therapy, a type of animal assisted intervention used to improve a patient’s social, emotional and cognitive functioning. It’s been shown to be particularly helpful for seniors. But what you may not realize is that using robotic cats and dogs may be just as effective. Here’s what you should know about battery-powered pets.

Cats, dogs and dinosaurs Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, today’s robot pets employ motion sensors to simulate surprisingly realistic behaviours.

They, purr, wag their tails, blink, vocalize and respond when petted.

One upside of adopting robot pets over real ones is that you’re not limited to common domestic animals. Aside from cats and dogs, you can purchase seals and even dinosaurs.

Additionally, robotic animals won’t trigger allergic reactions. They also never get sick, don’t need to be fed and won’t leave you unpleasant surprises on the carpet.

Reducing loneliness Owning a cat, dog or other pet can help seniors combat social isolation. Similarly, interacting with robot pets provides social benefits. They’re great conversation starters and encourage exchanges among residents

Holiday Sparkle moves to Lamoureux Park for 2021 Christmas PROVIDED BY THE HOLIDAY SPARKLE TEAM CORNWALL, Ontario – The team that brought you Holiday Sparkle last year is excited to announce its return this December 2021.

Last year, a team of dedicated volunteers turned Gray’s Creek into a drive-thru Christmas wonderland to take people’s minds off of the difficulties of the pandemic, and fundraise for local charities.

Due to social distancing requirements Holiday Sparkle was required to be a carbased event last year, but this year, with the help of our generous partners and sponsors,

we will be working to deliver a more environmentally-friendly version of Holiday Sparkle.

This year’s Holiday Sparkle will be a walkthrough experience in Cornwall’s beautiful Lamoureux Park, taking place from December 9th until December 23rd.

Like all other experienCity projects, Holiday Sparkle is about creating an artistic and fun experience through placemaking. To help honour that goal, experienCity will be recognizing local individuals, businesses and organizations who have worked throughout the year to make their community a more beautiful place to live. With that, we are happy to share that the nomination process will be opening up in

October for Cornwall’s First Annual Placemaking Awards, winners will be chosen by the community.

Placemaking is a community effort, and so is Holiday Sparkle. The event would not have been the great success that it was last year without the teams of volunteers who helped to run it and the local organizations who came to help decorate Gray’s Creek. Once again this year, Holiday Sparkle will be inviting organizations to come to Lamoureux Park to help us decorate, once again. We will have QR codes set up at each display for online donations as well as food donations taken for the Agape Centre.

As we prepare to begin Holiday Sparkle once again, our team wants to again thank the community for making last year’s event such a great success. Over the course of just one month, over 5,300 cars passed through Gray’s Creek to enjoy Holiday Sparkle. Over $16,000 was raised for the United Way and over 15,000 pounds of food was donated to the Agape Centre. A huge thank you to the Raisin Region Conservation Authority who were gracious hosts last year and without their help, the event would not have been possible.

Reflecting on the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation :NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, October 6, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

@C:nseebruch@seawaynews.media

Last Wednesday was the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. In addition to covering local events that acknowledged the importance of this day, I also had a chance to reflect on just how much I’ve learned over the past year about the history of the Indigenous peoples of Canada and the challenges that they face.

In June, hundreds of Cornwall residents marched in solidarity with members of the Indigenous community from Akwesasne. The march was in reaction to the discovery of the remains of 215 children at a former Indian Residential School in Kamloops, BC. That was the first time that I really learned in an in-depth way about the impact of the residential school system, and how close to home this tragic and horrific chapter in Canadian history really was to our community.

Georgina Lazore led that march in June, and her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins attended that residential school in Kamloops. A major national story on the other side of the country had a direct and immediate connection to the Indigenous community here, right across the river from Cornwall. I went on to learn that other members of the Akwesasne community had their own experiences with residential schools and day schools.

As the summer went on, a new issue emerged that both Akwesasne and Cornwall would have to face, that of homelessness.

I have spoken to members of both communities who are or have experienced homelessness. There was a small camp setup on the shores of the St. Lawrence River on the Cornwall side of homeless residents from Akwesasne. This small and close-knit group were dedicated to taking care of each other and pledged to live clean free of alcohol and drugs. I was impressed that when I went down to talk to this group, that the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA)’s Grand Chief Abram Benedict and two District Chiefs were making there way down to the camp to talk to its residents themselves and offer some support.

Furthermore, that same week I was given a tour of the MCA’s new Healing Centre at the former Cornwall General Hospital. Visit cornwallseawaynews.com for that full story but suffice to say that their approach to solving the issue of homelessness and addiction in the community was quick and robust.

At the tail end of the summer was the federal election, a central issue in the local campaign, and one that all candidates seemed to agree on, was that something needed to be done about the location of the border checkpoint and toll booth, which negatively impacts the residents of Akwesasne. MP Eric Duncan called the location of the border checkpoint discriminatory.

On the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation Akwesasne was visited by federal Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller.

I asked Miller if he agreed with his Conservative colleague that the location of the border checkpoint was discriminatory and he said that he did, but did not go so far as to offer a solution. He explained that the issue was complex and had been looked at by a number of committees without any success. While this answer is disappointing, I hope that Miller understands that the issue is still worth the effort and should be looked at again in consultation with the MCA. A solution needs to be found that works for them.

The past six months through my work I’ve been given the chance to have a new appreciation for the experience and history of our Indigenous neighbours in Akwesasne. I humbly feel that I have more to learn and will endeavor to listen. I think that is the main takeaway from the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, that listening, and learning is what we non-Indigenous Canadians need to do to reconcile our history with our relationship with Indigenous peoples.

Or, to steal another line, he got caught with his pants down on Sept. 30.

He was, the country was told, too busy

with “private meetings” to take part in any Day of Reconciliation ceremonies on Sept.

And, he almost got away with it. The Toronto Sun broke the story just after he arrived in British Columbia.

Now he says he is sorry for his error in judgment.

Ya, we know. The wife and kids were on his case to get away for a few days after a hectic election campaign, so to keep peace in the family he decided to get a head start on the weekend.

At least he didn’t come up with a story about getting his days mixed up.

HERE AND THERE Few weeks back we mentioned that George Health who did play-by-play of Cornwall Royals games before moving to Sarnia where he found himself calling games for the Sarnia Sting was the last connection to the Royals.

(The Royals left Cornwall in 1992 to become the Newmarket Royals who became the Sarnia Sting). However, another connection to the Royals has emerged. The new head coach of the Sting is Alan Letang, a defenceman drafted by the Cornwall Royals in 1991. He played for the Royals, Newmarket and Sarnia.

Criminal defence lawyers are paid by their clients to win cases and sometimes even if that means blaming the victim(s).

So it was on Oct. 10, 1958 in the United Counties court room with a prominent Ottawa criminal defence lawyer representing a young man charged with criminal negligence in the deaths of three young Cornwall Township cyclists aged 10, 11 and 12. Two were brothers.

The boys were riding their bicycles on a township road north of Bonville when the car driven by the defendant struck them.

The defence lawyer agreed that a car driven by his client struck and killed the three young cyclists.

However, he argued that the three boys were at fault, not his client, because, as he claimed, it was dark at the time and their bicycles were “unproperly lit.”

His client, he stressed, did nothing wrong. He could not see the three lads until it was too late.

That desperate legal hail Mary pass hit a brick wall.

The problem with that shaky heartless defence claim was that three witnesses to the tragedy and the investigating Ontario Provincial Police officer all testified that visibility at the time of the accident was good. The officer said that when he arrived at scene 15 minutes after being dispatched, it was not yet dark and visible was good.

The officer said 120-foot skid marks on the roadway that started at the point of impact indicated the car was travelling at a high rate of speed when it struck the

three from behind. One witness said the accused’s car passed him shortly before the accident. The witness estimated his own speed at between 45 and 50 miles per hour.

After a brief deliberation, the jury found the accused guilty.

To rub more salt in the wound of the grieving families, the Toronto judge overseeing the trial showed more concern for the guilty driver than the young victims. In fact, he didn’t mention them.

He all but apologized to the convicted driver for having to sentence him to four months in the slammer.

The judge said he wanted the convicted driver to know that he was not imposing a (lenient) jail sentence in “the spirit of revenge.”

Imagine being a grieving parent and having to sit through not only the win-at-allcost desperate defence argument but a judge who showed more concern with the convicted driver than the loss of three young lives.

It’s an old story, one that typically begins with, “Aren’t they cute! Let’s get one! I’ll walk it every morning! I promise to brush it.”

The fervor to get a dog peaked when COVID19 turned office work, home life, education and travel upside-down. Staying at home became the norm. The need for a fresh source of local entertainment was more than satisfied by the boundless energy of a young dog.

Gradually, things changed. On-line learning was gradually phased out. The commute to the office in Montreal or Ottawa returned. The novelty began to wear off, and there was less free time to devote to Rover.

The centre of attention started to chew on shoes, toys and table legs. Desperately needed relief walkies didn’t take place, so ‘accidents’ began to happen not only on the kitchen floor but on the living room rug. When he was left alone from 800 am until 500 pm, the neighbours became quite annoyed at his incessant yelping.

The OSPCA will soon approach over-capacity with pets that can no longer be conveniently accommodated by the ‘new normal’.

Pet shops and breeders have a no-return policy. Besides, who wants to adopt something that is no longer a cute little puppy and has developed some rather bothersome traits!

My story’s focus now shifts to Portugal’s Algarve, February 11-March 18, 2020.

Almost every day we’d set out from our comfortable accommodations to explore.

Beyond every seaside resort village there was

an abundance of agricultural and vacant land, with a scattering of dogs of all kinds, usually in mixed breed pairs, who seemed to be gazing at us. I’d pull over to the shoulder of the road.

The dogs might cock their heads or swivel their ears as they slowly retreated to a safe distance. If I could put speech bubbles above their heads, they would be saying, “Have you come back for me?” “Do you have any food for us?” “Are you going to start throwing rocks at us!”

None of these dogs was ever aggressive.

However, all were too timid to respond to my gentle beckoning.

Here’s my take on them: Portugal is a wonderful place to holiday. For an extended stay, a young dog would be a wonderful companion. However, after the six-month stay comes to an end, Pedro becomes a liability. The UK has a lengthy quarantine requirement for any

Airlines impose a hefty fee for carrying pets. Some carriers and cruise ships have a ‘no pets’ policy.

Therefore, the long-stay tourist bids a sad adios to his no longer forever companion.

Think more than twice before you take on a forever pet.

101 Experiences :

All in for Connecting Cultures Jo-Anne Burton and some of the 26 alpacas on her farm, where she welcomes tourists for the most fun experience.

101 Experiences offers an innovative concept of tourism development in northern Ontario by helping passionate people to set up projects allowing tourists to meet the communities around them.

By Andréanne Blanchard

Jo-Anne Burton and her husband own the Dream Acres alpaca farm in Timmins. Before working with 101 Experiences, they took clients for a walk with their animals for a minimal fee.

“While discussing with the organization’s team and other small business owners like us, we found out that people are willing to pay a fairer price for a great experience. It gave us a boost!” explains Jo-Anne. The

Dream Acres offer is now more extensive with, for example, a visit to the workshop where the wool is carded and a shop of handmade products.

“The help of 101 Experiences also allowed us to create a virtual experience that we were able to offer even during the pandemic,” explains JoAnne Burton. During the summer, the farm could accommodate up to six groups per day, an unmatched activity before then.

members of Indigenous communities, to whom the organization wants to give a great place. Unaccustomed to sharing their knowledge with people outside their community, some lack the confidence to move forward in setting up their project.

The whole population wins when communities come together. “It’s really important for us to involve First Nations in our project. The first thing is to recognize that they were there before us, that they kept the territory intact and that it is thanks to them that we can develop our experiences today. (…) In northern Ontario, we have four Native communities nearby, but most people have never had the opportunity to be around them. When you collaborate with someone and there is a common goal, you get to know each other differently. We talk a lot about systemic racism, but we hardly discuss concrete solutions to change perceptions. We have a concrete project where people get involved to make our region more welcoming.”

Lynne Cormier is part of the 101 Experiences team of trainers and she herself offers workshops on tipis and on Indigenous myths and realities.

“People who attend these teachings appreciate having a safe and open space to ask questions. They leave

with a greater appreciation and understanding of the community and Indigenous knowledge. They become allies,” she rejoices.

A Great Support In the long term, the goal is to ensure that 101 Experiences is sustainable.

“We want to create an incubator that would allow other projects to start.

We would like to set up a solidarity cooperative, which would include trainers, guests and tourism organizations who would like to support us.

We hope to be able to achieve this by March 2022.“ All of this can be achieved thanks to several partners, in particular Desjardins through the GoodSpark Fund.

“The money we received from Desjardins enabled us to hire three quality full-time interns and offer them a salary. This commitment also gave credibility to our project, which allowed other financial partners to take an interest in us and get involved.”

Part of the budget is also used to support talented recruiters in their research and to help purchase materials to start projects. Invaluable support for 101 Experiences, which wants to bring people from different communities together and change perceptions, for a more open and inclusive living together!

Breaking Down Barriers

When everyone is all in for doing good, it makes a world of difference. The Desjardins GoodSpark Fund is 250 million dollars to support projects like 101 Experiences, which connects cultures through more human tourism experiences.

319641

Lynne Cormier’s tipi workshop enables people to learn about Indigenous communities and knowledge.

The main challenge faced by the 101 Experiences team is convincing enthusiasts to get on with their projects. “Often times, those who are talented don’t realize it”, smiles Nicole Guertin. “Sometimes they need three different people to convince them.”

The challenge is even greater with

www.cornwallseawaynews.com - Seaway News - Wednesday, October 6, 2021 - 11

With 25 years of experience in tourism, the founder of 101 Experiences, Nicole Guertin, puts individuals and their passions at the centre of her approach. “In small communities, a lot of people have unusual passions that travellers want to explore”. The organization must find these enthusiasts in order to help them build a tourism project: discover trapping, take a canoe ride, visit an old haunted theatre, etc. The organization is currently in the development phase, but plans to double the number of offered activities in the coming months.

A Precious Help

With thanks from CCHF:YOUR DONATIONS AT WORK On September 22nd, Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation held our annual general meeting for a second year via Zoom. On behalf of our staff and Board, I’d like to express gratitude to local donors for their incredible generosity last year. Thanks to their support, our Foundation can continue its mission purchasing essential medical equipment so CCH can deliver exceptional care.

Much has been said about the challenges associated with the ongoing pandemic.

Reflecting on the 2020-21 fiscal year, I’m thankful for the silver linings that present themselves when we invest in our hospital.

Donations collected across SDG and Akwesasne raised $980,697.44 – that’s 98 per cent of our original million-dollar fundraising goal, despite the difficulties presented by

COVID-19.

Our Foundation exists today because most of the equipment at hospitals across the province is not covered by government funding. So, when we work together as a community, your donations help us transform local healthcare for the better.

I’m pleased to share a list of purchases CCHF made over the course of the last fiscal year. These contributions have been put to good use, providing medical professionals with the proper tools to serve local patients.

• A patient simulation mannequin for frontline medical training • Orthopedic surgery equipment in partnership with our Cornwall Kinsmen Club • Cataract microscope in partnership with our Cornwall Lions Club

• A bariatric bed for palliative patients • New equipment for Women and Children’s Health • Funds for purchases at the Youth Wellness Hub • Funds via the Hospital Auxiliary for new emergency department seating, a mobile telemetry unit, and syringe pumps for the anesthesia program • A urology table with support from our Cornwall Kinsmen Club Support CCHF and win!

When it comes to healthcare fundraising, every dollar counts. Due to COVID-19, CCHF will not proceed with our annual gala in October, but we’re hoping more community members will play our biweekly Power PayDay Lottery.

YOUR CCHF CHECKUP

AMY GILLESPIE CORNWALL COMMUNITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

Open to the public, CCHF’s 50/50 tickets are available for $3 each and can be purchased as a lump sum to play over multiple weeks. Since March, we’ve distributed $38,800.50 to winners with an average of $2,500 in prizing every two weeks.

CCH Recognizes National Day forTruth and Reconciliation To raise awareness and honour the victims and survivors of residential schools, Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) is observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, 2021 by asking staff and physicians to participate in Orange Shirt Day. An orange flag has also been raised at halfmast on the hospital grounds and educational resources on the history and injustices faced by Indigenous communities have been shared with staff.

Orange Shirt Day, also observed on September 30, originates from a story told by residential school survivor Phyllis (Jack) Webstad of her first day at residential school when her new orange shirt, bought by her grandmother, was taken from her as a sixyear-old girl. It is now a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.

“Today we wear orange in recognition of the devastating impact that residential schools had on our Indigenous children and

communities, and also to affirm our commitment that everyone around us matters.

Marking this day is an important step towards reconciliation, and allows us to learn and reflect on the harm caused by residential schools to First Nations,” says Jeanette Despatie, President and CEO. Staff have also been asked to reflect on what Orange Shirt Day means to them by writing their answers on paper and taking a picture.

Dr. Lorne Scharf, Chief of Staff, says “to me, Orange Shirt Day is about a community celebrating resilience and honouring their children. It’s about all Canadians learning about the history of residential schools.”

People are encouraged to visit CCH on Facebook to see more responses from staff and physicians: www.facebook.com/ CornwallCommunityHospital.

CCH proudly provides a full range of acute inpatient, outpatient and community mental health services to a catchment area of over 100,000 people in Eastern Ontario, which includes the Mohawk Community of CCH Emergency Department Staff and Physicians.

• A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.

• Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level. Smoke alarms should be connected so when one sounds, they all sound.

Most homes do not have this level of protection.

• Roughly 3 out of 5 fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

Local developers buy Cornwall Square NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Weaving Baskets Group (WBG) has entered into an agreement to purchase the Cornwall Square from Quebec based Group Quint.

A press release from Choose Cornwall on behalf of WBG states that the deal is expected to be finalized by Oct. 1.

“The retail industry is poised for greater stability, as consumer spending has remained steady during the pandemic, and Cornwall’s economy is very strong,” said Tom Hughes, Vice-President with Weaving Baskets Group. ” We believe there is still a place for brick and mortar retail, and as public health restrictions ease and things return to normal, there will be a restored interest in indoor shopping.”

Hughes went on to explain that WBG is considering multiple options to grow the Cornwall Square, including multi-use development. The

EOHU efforts and residents’ cooperation impressive

Square’s previous owners, before Group Quint, Partners REIT, had also considered turning part of the Square into residential space.

“Our goal is to restore Cornwall Square to its position as a landmark destination in Cornwall,” said Hughes. “We are looking at a number of options including mixed-use development along with attracting new tenants to enhance the retail experience of the mall.”

The Square measures at 250,000 sq.ft. with room for 60 retailers. Additionally, on the nearly 10 acre property is a four-storey parking garage with 1,000 parking spaces in addition to the 180 open-air parking spaces outside.

WBG is a Cornwall based property management and development company that manages a variety of properties in Cornwall and the United Counties of SD&G including the 703 & 709 Cotton Mills, Mac’s Marina, The Fines Home Hardware building, and the Seaway Shopping Centre.

With the fall season upon us, we see active cases spiking in many regions of the country. Hospitals are filling up, surgeries are being cancelled, and patients are shuffled between hospitals. Locally, the EOHU’s efforts and our residents’ cooperation have been impressive, administering over 300,000 doses and fully vaccinating over 80 percent of our eligible residents with two doses. We know the vaccines work, as almost all hospital admissions involve those who are not fully vaccinated. As a result, our Government is restricting access to many non-essential venues to those providing proof of being fully vaccinated. To quote Premier Ford, “We owe it to our businesses to do everything we can to avoid lockdowns.” Achieving a high vaccination rate of 90 percent or more is our best chance to preserve health care services, keep schools and businesses open, support our economy, and avoid further lockdowns.

Covid and The Real Estate Boom.

WHAT HAPPENED?

NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

We heard and saw a huge boom in real estate, especially in the Cornwall & District Real Estate Board, with increases of 27% last year and so far 14% this year. So what happened? And will there be a crash The Real Estate market was picking up before Covid hit, and then Covid virtually paused the spring rush in March / April of 2020. Then things got interesting! Covid caused many people to re-think their lives, more.

“Results from the count will help us improve their needs, their wants. Seniors decided they our response to homelessness,” added didn’t want to move into retirement homes Morgan. “Developing a By-Name list will sup- and were happy to stay in their homes a bit por t our effor ts to end chronic longer. People who owned condos in larger cities decided they wanted houses with land, homelessness.”

The City will continue to conduct counts like and all of a sudden, they were able to work this one over a number of years to help iden- from home. First time home buyers decided, tify issues around homelessness with the rates were low, and they needed to buy a end goal of ended homelessness in the place now! Meanwhile, many people previously thinking of upsizing or downsizing decided community. to stay put.

For more information: All of sudden, demand for homes in the -Everyone Counts: Coordinated Point-inarea skyrocketed, and yet supply was almost Time Counts in Canada -Homelessness Learning Hub: Point-in-Time non existant.

Conditions, such as Inspections and Financing, are starting to appear more frequently, and bidding wars are becoming less frequent.

So does this mean a crash is coming? No. It means that there’s now starting to be a normal balance. People are starting to sell more, and there’s now less buyers available as most of them have already purchased a home. My prediction is that the market will be balanced for the foreseeable future and we will see prices stay relatively stable with very little increases or decreases.

So, if things are staying stable, does that mean it’s a bad time to buy real estate? Not at all. If anything, now’s a great time. Interest rates are low (for now), and with the government printing money at the rate it is, there’s growing concern of inflation growing beyond control. Real Estate, like gold, is one of the safest things to invest in, even safer than cash itself against rising inflation.

baseboards or a furnace to heat your home, it’s important to have your equipment professionally inspected, cleaned and maintained before the cold weather hits.

2. Ensure your doors and windows are airtight. Remove the screens from your windows and check for any drafts. If you feel air seeping in, caulk along the edge of the window or use plastic wrap to provide a better seal. You should also make sure the weatherstrip on your exterior doors is in good condition and replace it if necessary.

3. Clean and store your air conditioner. If you own a portable air condi-

tioner, now is the time to remove it from the window, clean the filter and store it in a protected area until the weather warms up.

4. Dust your air vents. Remove the air vent covers and grilles throughout your home, and vacuum inside and around the openings to remove as much dust and debris as possible.

Doing these things will ensure you can breathe easier while sheltering from the cold.

Starting a local conversation on climate NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Future Climate Leaders project announced on Wednesday, Sept. 29 in Guindon Park that they were launching a new climate change survey.

The goal of the survey is to start the conversation on the local impacts of climate change, and to get a sense of how the issue is viewed locally.

“In the realm of climate change, we want to see what the landscape is,” said Lee Theodore, Project Manager for Future Climate Leaders.

“Addressing climate change will take the resolve of every human being possible,” Theodore added.

The survey will be available on the City of Cornwall website until Oct. 29 and Theodore

hopes to get at least 1,000 responses.

For the City of Cornwall’s part, they have offered to maintain the data that is collected and hope to use it to learn about the public’s awareness of municipal climate related programs.

Theodore hopes to expand the project to cover the rest of the federal riding of StormontDundas-South Glengarry, explaining that it will help give the region a voice in the national climate change discussion.

In addition to the survey, Angela Parker the City of Cornwall’s Sustainability Coordinator said that the city would also be holding a climate change art contest where local youths can submit climate related art work, be it paintings, photos, poetry, videos, or another medium. Some submissions will be selected for public display in November.

meters - so it seems free. We can all support efforts to put a price on what we need to use less of.

Peer pressure is another way. We know that most people’s actions are motivated by what their peers are doing – yes even adults - so everyone can take a leadership role whether it’s choosing to plant a tree, mowing less lawn area, eating a more plant-based diet or driving a smaller car or no car, or being more careful about waste of all kinds. Like children – people are more likely to do as you do not as you say.

Measure your actions. Soon there will be a carbon counter on-line through the Future Climate Leaders Project website in Cornwall.

This will allow you to put a climate lens on how your actions are affecting your carbon footprint over time, whether it’s you daily actions or your lifestyle.

Finally, be willing to admit that, while you may not be currently suffering from the effects of climate change, many in the world are and we all must do our part to alleviate that suffering. We all have the capacity and the responsibility to create the fairness and equity that helps to ensure a peaceful world.

Over the next two months the City of Cornwall is asking for your ideas on how you think about climate change, so be sure to make your voice heard at https://haveyoursaycornwall.ca

I have just finished reading about a man named Alexander Von Humboldt. Amazingly, as early as the nineteenth century, over 200 years ago, he was observing the devastating effects of colonial exploitation of the land, water, and slavery on the earth and on humans!

He was the most famous scientist of his age; a visionary German naturalist and polymath whose discoveries forever changed the way we understand the natural world. Among his most revolutionary ideas was a radical conception of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. This once a celebrated scientist has been largely forgotten in the English-speaking world.

As early as 1800 he saw that lakes were drying up in South America as a consequence of removing forests to plant mono crops. (sound familiar?) He was the first to explain the fundamental functions of the forest in the maintenance of ecosystems and climate: the trees’ ability to store water and enrich the atmosphere with moisture, their protection of the soil and their cooling effect. He also talked about the impact of trees on the climate through their release of oxygen.

So here we are - over two hundred years later and still debating how urgently we need to address the issue of climate change – indeed, in some quarters whether climate change is even a reality! We face a profound threat of climate change that is becoming even more devastating than during that colonial period. Make no mistake, today the climate crisis threatens humanity’s very existence.

This crisis is causing the migration of people we see today - fleeing areas of drought and rising water levels. We are seeing conflict over land, water and food shortages. You can be sure that those with privilege will defend their position and fight to keep their status – whether that’s food, water, land, or power and security. This is expressed in the form of racism – the notion that there are people less deserving of fair treatment than others. We are already seeing pushback against immigration in some countries – including parts of Canada. This is a bitter irony because refugees are often fleeing the impacts on their land wrought by the privileged few who now refuse to take them in.

So that’s why I feel so passionate about addressing climate change and addressing the climate crisis at the local level which can in turn push for urgent action at all levels of government and business.

Unfortunately we tend to be a bit disconnected from the full effects of climate change here in Cornwall, so it’s harder to entice people to act with urgency.

What methods are useful in moving people to act to make the real change needed to address the climate crisis?

Well, cost is one way. If something is more expensive, like energy or water then people will find ways to use less of it. Our cars are much bigger than in Europe because gas is about twice the price we pay here. Also, in Cornwall, for example, we use about 35% more water per day than the provincial average – just because we don’t have water

L’ACFO SDG célèbre le nouveau jour férié fédéral du 30 septembre, tout en rendant hommage aux Premières Nations, aux Inuits et aux survivant.e.s autochtones COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE L’ACFO-SDG Se retrouvant sur le territoire ancestral Mohawk, l’ACFO SDG a débuté il y a 4 ans, sa trajectoire reconnaissant toutes les contributions des Autochtones du passé, du présent et du futur. « Concrètement, avec nos frères et nos sœurs de la grande famille des Haudenosaunee, nous avons rêvé deux grands projets » de souligner la directrice, Madame Céline Baillargeon-Tardif.

Le premier projet « Toutes mes relations » nourrit les échanges entre jeunes et artistes francophones et autochtones permettant de belles rencontres, de grands apprentissages et la création de trois murales affichant ouvertement le tissage de plus en plus serré entre nos peuples.

Le deuxième projet mobilise des adultes : « Solidarité culturelle Franco-Mohawk ». Ce projet se conclura par la création de courtepointes mêlant et entremêlant les savoirs et savoir-faire d’artisanes francophones et autochtones. Que cela soit par les activités

sportives, culturelles, de sensibilisation ou de création culturelle et artistique, les rapprochements réels se vivent. Dans Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry. Tout dernièrement, l’exercice des couvertures de Kairos nous a fait vivre de grandes émotions. « Cet exercice fut une expérience fascinante qui nous a permis d’explorer et de comprendre la relation historique et contemporaine entre les peuples autochtones et non autochtones dans notre pays. Le Cercle de parole a facilité des échanges intègres et vrais. Ce fut difficile, mais toutes et tous, ont

grandement apprécié l’expérience et souhaitent soit le revivre ou proposent qu’il soit offert dans les écoles, les collègues, les organisations … » de souligner la présidente de l’ACFO SDG, Madame Dianne Poirier.

Le 30 septembre 2021, l’ACFO SDG célébrera fièrement la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation. Nous rendrons hommage aux survivantes et aux survivants et appuierons moralement la communauté Mohawk d’Akwesasne qui marchera sur la Colline parlementaire lors de cette journée mémorable dans l’histoire du Canada.

Les écoles du CSDCEO soulignent la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation ONTARIO EST - Le 30 septembre 2021 marque la toute première Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation, désormais désignée comme jour férié fédéral. C’est pourquoi le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) invite les élèves et les membres du personnel à revêtir un chandail orange en solidarité avec tous les élèves et leur famille des cultures des Métis, Inuit et Premières Nations et aux survivantes et survivants des écoles résidentielles. Les drapeaux des services administratifs et des écoles seront également en berne.

Cette journée est l’occasion de rendre hommage aux enfants disparus et aux survivantes et survivants des pensionnats, leurs familles et leurs communautés. La commémoration publique de l’histoire tragique et

douloureuse des pensionnats et de leurs séquelles durables est un élément essentiel du processus de réconciliation. Pour entamer ce chemin, il est essentiel que toutes et tous aient le coeur ouvert aux tristes vérités du passé et du présent qui touchent tous les Autochtones du pays. « Le CSDCEO s’est toujours engagé à développer une culture où tous les élèves se sentent compris, valorisés et respectés. En cette Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation, nous affirmons notre engagement et démontrons notre désir à contribuer à la réconciliation et à veiller au bien-être des enfants, puisque chaque enfant est important! », de partager Mme Eugénie Congi, directrice de l’éducation et secrétaire. « Pour les générations présentes et futures, le CSDCEO s’engage à rassembler ses élèves et les membres du personnel

101 Expériences :

Explorer à fond Jo-Anne Burton et quelques-uns des 26 alpagas de sa fermette, où elle accueille les touristes pour une expérience des plus amusantes

Par Andréanne Blanchard

Forte de 25 ans d’expérience dans le domaine touristique, la directrice du projet 101 Expériences, Nicole Guertin,

isme doit dénicher afin de les aider à bâtir un projet touristique. Les activités proposées sont diverses: découverte de la trappe, sortie en canot, visite d’un vieux théâtre hanté, etc. L’organisme est présentement en phase de développement, mais prévoit doubler l’offre d’activités dans les mois à venir.

Une aide précieuse

Briser les barrières

L’atelier de tipis de Lynne Cormier permet aux gens d’en apprendre plus sur la communauté et le savoir autochtones

place les individus et leurs passions au centre de son approche. «Dans les petites communautés, beaucoup de personnes ont des passions inusitées que les voyageurs ont envie de découvrir.»

Ce sont ces passionnés que l’organ-

La principale difficulté rencontrée par l’équipe de 101 Expériences consiste à convaincre les passionnés d’aller de l’avant. «Souvent, ceux qui ont du talent ne s’en rendent pas compte, sourit Nicole Guertin. Ils ont parfois besoin de trois personnes différentes pour les convaincre.» Le défi est encore plus grand auprès des membres des communautés autochtones, auxquels on souhaite donner une grande place.

Peu habitués de partager leur savoir à des gens en dehors de leur commu-

munauté et du savoir autochtone. Ils deviennent des alliés», se réjouit-elle.

Toute la population est gagnante lorsque les communautés se rapprochent. «C’est vraiment important pour nous d’impliquer les Premières Nations dans notre projet. La première chose est de reconnaître qu’ils étaient là avant nous, qu’ils ont gardé le territoire intact et que c’est grâce à eux si on peut développer nos expériences aujourd’hui. (…) Dans le nord de l’Ontario, nous avons quatre communautés autochtones à proximité, mais la plupart des gens n’ont jamais eu l’occasion de les côtoyer. Quand on collabore avec une personne et qu’il y un objectif commun, on apprend à la connaitre différemment. On parle beaucoup de racisme systémique, mais on discute peu de solutions concrètes pour changer les perceptions.

Nous avons un projet pratique où les gens décident de s’engager pour rendre notre région plus accueillante.»

À long terme, l’objectif est de s’assurer que 101 Expériences soit durable. «On souhaite créer un modèle d’incubateur qui permettrait la mise en branle d’autres projets. On aimerait mettre sur pied une coopérative solidaire, qui inclurait les formateurs, les hôtes et les organisations de tourisme qui voudraient nous appuyer.

On espère pouvoir y arriver d’ici le mois de mars 2022.»

Lynne Cormier fait partie de l’équipe de formateurs de 101 Expériences et elle offre elle-même des ateliers, notamment, sur les tipis et sur les mythes et réalités autochtones. « Les gens qui assistent à ces enseignements apprécient d’avoir un espace ouvert pour poser des questions, ils repartent avec une plus grande appréciation et une meilleure compréhension de la com-

Un soutien de taille

Tout cela peut se concrétiser grâce à plusieurs partenaires, notamment Desjardins par le biais du Fonds du Grand Mouvement. « Les fonds que nous avons reçus de Desjardins nous ont permis d’engager trois stagiaires de qualité à temps plein et de leur offrir un salaire. Cet engagement a aussi donné de la crédibilité à notre projet, ce qui a permis à d’autres partenaires financiers de s’intéresser à nous et de s’impliquer.» Une partie du budget sert également à appuyer les recruteurs de talent dans leurs recherches et aider à l’achat de matériel pour démarrer des expériences.

Un soutien inestimable pour 101 Expériences, qui souhaite rapprocher les gens de différentes communautés et changer les perceptions, pour un vivre-ensemble plus ouvert et inclusif!

Quand tout le monde s’engage à fond, ça fait avancer notre monde. Le Fonds du Grand Mouvement de Desjardins, c’est 250 millions de dollars pour soutenir des projets comme 101 Expériences, qui connecte les cultures par des expériences touristiques plus humaines.

Jo-Anne Burton et son mari ont la ferme d’alpagas Dream Acres, à Timmins. Avant de travailler avec 101 Expériences, ils emmenaient les clients marcher avec leurs animaux pour un montant minime. «En parlant à l’équipe de l’organisme et aux petits entrepreneurs comme nous, on a constaté que les gens sont prêts à payer un prix plus juste pour avoir une belle expérience. Ça nous a donné un boost!» explique Jo-Anne. L’offre de Dream Acres est maintenant plus étoffée, avec par exemple une visite de l’atelier où est cardée la laine et une boutique de produits faits à la main. «L’aide de 101 Expériences nous a aussi permis de créer une expérience virtuelle que nous avons pu offrir même durant la pandémie», explique Jo-Anne Burton.

Durant l’été, la ferme pouvait accueillir jusqu’à six groupes par jour, un achalandage inégalé avant ce moment.

nauté, certains manquent de confiance pour aller de l’avant dans la mise sur pied de leur projet.

L’organisme 101 Expériences propose un concept innovateur de développement touristique dans le nord de l’Ontario en aidant des gens passionnés à mettre sur pied des projets permettant aux touristes d’aller à la rencontre des communautés qui les entourent.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Cornwall Police Association (CPA) and the Cornwall Police Services Board (CPSB) have released details of their newly ratified collective agreement.

“The Cornwall Police Association’s bargaining Committee is pleased to announce the ratification of a new Collective Agreement with the Cornwall Police Board,” said CPA Bargaining Committee Chair, Troy St. Germain.

“The Cornwall Police Association’s top priority was the wellness of its members. Through the bargaining process, the Cornwall Police Services Board recognized this as a major priority and both parties were able to accomplish their respective bargaining goals.”

The agreement, which was ratified on May 21 and will expire in Dec. of 2024 secures a series of pay increases over the next few years for CPA members.

CPA members will receive a 1.85 per cent increase to their salaries in 2021, 1.35 per cent in 2022, 1.5 per cent in 2023 and 1.5 per cent in 2024.

According to the OntarioSunshineList. com, the average salary for a CPS Constable is $115,441. The Cornwall Police Service states that the starting salary for a Fourth Class Constable in 2021 is $60,596.46.

Mayor Glen Grant, who chaired the negotiations for the CPSB said he was satisfied with the agreement and that it would provide better support to CPA members who receive on the job injuries.

“In today’s climate of policing, we recognize the prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Occupational Stress Injuries in employees, along with the impact of what they experience and are exposed to in their line of work,” said Grant. “The Board is pleased to ratify an agreement that suppor ts the well-being of these employees, in consideration of the difficult work that they do to keep the City of Cornwall safe.”

Reader says: I am a retired ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY veteran. I was never in the last wars, but I was involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis which could have become the Third World War. In my opinion I think that COVID-19 is our Third World War. This virus is the invisible enemy. Like in any war not everyone can join due to physical, religious or family reasons. But if you are an antivaxer or protester then you’re siding with the enemy.

I’m aware of the Charter of Rights but in a war anyone can be drafted. Your freedom to choose not to be vaccinated does not supercede my freedom to stay healthy. Don’t forget that if you’re admitted to the hospital because of Covid 19 then you’re causing delays in necessary operations for those who are really sick. So be a humanitarian and not a selfish human being.

Reader says: Re: Election Promises: Eliminate the Federal Personal Income Tax. There is 1 thing that this person or people did NOT consider! If we start to eliminate payments to the Government like Personal Income Taxes, then the Government will start to eliminate benifits that we all have like FREE MEDICAL care, like surgery, precriptions, at reduced rates, etc., etc., is that what you want Sir? Before making statements you must look at the WHOLE picture and what will be the consequenses. 1 other thing no matter what Party is in power its all dripping with RED INK! The 1 thing I always say if you can do a better job run for the party of your choice!

Congratulations to Nolan Leger and Alexandre Gendron for having a great weekend at the Canadian Pro Bass Tour Franny Cup this past weekend in Cornwall.

I hope our readers are pleased to know that Brenda Lee-Legault is now at home after her lengthy stay in the Critical Care Unit of the Cornwall Community Hospital. We wish Brenda the best in her continued recovery.

Reader says: October is breast cancer awareness month and as a two time survivor I didn’t think I needed any more awareness, but that was until I learned about inflammatory breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer is rare but aggressive, meaning it grows and spreads quickly. In most cases, inflammatory breast cancer has already spread to the lymph nodes or other organs by the time it is diagnosed. It does not cause a lump so is not detected by a regular mammogram. The symptoms could include: redness, swelling, thickening of the skin of the breast or a pitted appearance an orange peel. So, please be aware, stay safe, and check out the Canadian Cancer Society web page for more on Inflammatory breast cancer.

Reader says: This reader is disappointed with the staff at SD&G Counties, South Stormont, and the City of Cornwall for not doing enough to stop the speeding in the City/Villages/Counties. While travelling it appears the new speed limit is 100+ KPH not 80, and in the communities it’s 80+ KPH not 50 KPH in most areas. It’s time for law enforcement to get out there and slow these people down. Between the speeders, loud or non existing mufflers, things have really gotten way out of control.
