World of Whiskey Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – In just a little over a month, whiskey connoisseurs will be converging on Cornwall for the second annual World of Whiskey show at the Nav Centre on March 24.

As of right now, the tickets for the event are sold out, but whiskey experts assure that those who will be in attendance will be in store for a treat.

Davin de Kergommeaux, founder and chairman of the Canadian Whiskey Awards applauded Ian Bentley, founder of the event, for getting the community involved.

“I think Ian has done a great job of getting the community involved and finding key brands to come to the show,” he said. “My comment when I came the first year was that it didn’t seem like the show’s inaugural year.”

Mike Brisebois is the North American Brand

Ambassador for Distell Group Scotch Whiskey and was born and raised in Cornwall. Brisebois said he was proud to see his hometown host such a great whiskey show.

“Its great to go home and see great things happening in Cornwall,” he said. “There is a great interest in learning about this great spirit.” de Kergommeaux said that the way the World of Whiskey show is organized is unique.

“One of the things that Ian did that I don’t think I’ve seen at any other show is that he divided the pavilions by country,” he said.

Kergommeaux explained that this setup gives the guests a real idea of the regional flavours of “Number one, don’t get drunk,” he said. whiskey is the camaraderie. People should be at whiskey. de Kergommeaux also had some advice for “Number two, drink lots of water. Its not about ease. Its an opportunity to sample whiskeys you whiskey novices attending the show. drinking, its about sampling. The best part of could never buy.”

On Saturday, the conference also had a trade show to improve the way farms grow their crops and livestock.

They even made lunch with an all organic food menu and later a movie night a movie night at Schnitzels.

“We rely a lot on sponsorships for this conference to go, and we depend on them to cover

much of the cost of the conference,” said Colin Lundy.

The conference had close to 35 sponsors and exhibitors who supported the event or explained their knowledge on growing food.

For some just coming out and meeting other farmers was what it was all about.

“They like to visit with people they may only see once a year,” said Gary Weinhold, a hobby farmer who raises chickens and sells eggs.

The power of pink Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Wednesday, Feb. 28 is Pink Shirt Day, a day where those who are against bullying wear pink to school. That day also marks the launch of a new School Bus Poster campaign aimed at raising awareness of the Kids Help Phone.

Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO), the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Champlain East are partnering together to put up 1,600 posters in 800 buses to reach 33,000 students.

The goal is to raise awareness for Kids Help Phone and reach kids who are struggling to let them know that there is help and people that they can talk to.

Angele D’Alessio of the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Champlain East said that the idea was formed after she was approached by a local bus driver who wanted to do more to help her

passengers who might be struggling with depression or bullying.

The students at Bridgewood Public School in Cornwall helped to create a video to raise awareness for the poster campaign.

“We were talking about things we would talk to Kids Help Phone about,” said Grade 6 student Bianca Carnochan-Monette. “I said I was afraid to meet new people.”

The topics the students talked about in the video came from the most common issues that Kids Help Phone has to deal with.

The average age of a child using Kids Help Phone is 12 to 13-years-old.

“You should always get help when you need it,” said Grade 5 student Anthony MacDonald.

Steven Pasepathiesan a Grade 6 student at Bridgewood Public said that the Kids Help Phone was a good tool for kids who are too intimidated to talk face-to-face.

The Kids Help Phone can be reached via email, text message and by phone at 1-800-668-6868.

Students at Bridgewood Public school took part in a video promoting Pink Shirt Day and the Children’s Help Phone. Pictured from left-to-right are Bianca CarnochanMonette, grade 6, Anthony MacDonald, grade 5 and Steven Pasepathiesan, grade 6 (Nick Seebruch/ TC Media).

Lifetime business achievement

STRASSER

LIFETIME BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENT 4 - Wednesday, February 28, 2018 - Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

Sponsored by Desjardins Caisse Populaire

Presenders Shawn Filion and Chantale Lajoie

The Lifetime Business Achievement Award was presented to Rick Shaver.

Rick Shaver was thinking of anything else but being named Lifetime Business Achievement recipient on Saturday night. “I was sitting there listening then I said this sounds familiar, then my daughter took my hands and I knew.” says Shaver. Surprised would be an understatement.

Shaver has been a fixture of this community for many years and his involvement includes many community events, service clubs and local board of directors.

“Kinsmen have been my go-to guys for the past 30 years, working with a group of great people who together really help the community’s greatest need.

They have taught me a lot and showed me how to work with others. “I had the best BBQ team in the East,” says Shaver, we cooked at many events and had a lot of laughs along the way.” The Pizza Party shows how a community can come together for local needs. We have done so many things and Seaway News/TC Media has always been there supporting the events.

My family has always been there too, so it was bittersweet that my wife Brenda was away on Saturday

night when they called my name. She deserved to be there also as she has been with me this whole journey.

I am very lucky that my two daughters were by my side.

Seaway News/TC Media and my staff are a big part of my success as they have always supported the community and my efforts. Right from the beginning when Dick Aubry and I started the business, we have always been there. We have designed more programs, posters and advertisements for community projects and have always supported events when possible with editorial.

Community businesses have always supported our events or projects and to them­—thank you. They along with so many friends, like Steve Burns, who was there 30 years ago and helped with the very first business night; Bruce Wickham for great special event set ups over the years, and to NAV and other hosts— thanks for everything.

It was a great night and the Citizen of The Year was another great community volunteer. Great friends, staff, family and meal make for a good time. Thank you, Lynne and Lezlie and the whole chamber family for all you do.

As many of you know, The Lifetime Business Achievement Award recognizes business professionals in the community whose contribution to the community and local economy has made Cornwall a better place to work and to live.

There have been many outstanding individuals who have been honoured with the award and each one has accepted it with the modesty that makes them so completely worthy. What’s more they have often done it ‘under-the-radar’ which makes them all the more worthy.

Such is the case with the 2017 Lifetime Business Award Winner and as you will no doubt agree, it is long overdue as this person has made a significant difference in our community—usually without fanfare as is so typical.

Our Lifetime Winner has been a force in so many activities it is difficult to summarize in my short remarks but—here we go!

Service Clubs. Our winner has made numerous contributions to the service club groups in all manner of activities for years. The Agape Centre— our winner was an active member of its board and to highlight other involvements, let me count the many groups that benefitted from our winner’s generosity.

St. Lawrence College. Various portfolios. Cornwall Aces. Hospital Foundation. Friends of the Environment Foundation. Special Olympics.

Heart & Stroke Foundation. Lung Association. Winter Carnival. Cystic Fibrosis. Team Cornwall—just to name a few.

Our winner has been awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, the Multiple Sclerosis Certificate of Exceptional Achievement, a Service Club Life Membership and the Chamber of Commerce Breakthrough Award.

Because of our winner’s involvement in local media, literally hundred of groups and individuals have gained valuable and positive exposure to help their programs and causes. Our winner has played an active role in countless community fund raisers and has literally given thousands and thousands of hours of his own time to help his community grow.

Finally, he has been a driving force in a colourful and incredibly successful Cornwall marketing magazine — Cornwall Living.

The Lifetime Business Achievement Award Above and Beyond

The Above and Beyond award was presented to Dr. Thorin Gault.

“Along with active involvement in local sports, our winner has an enviable track record in helping those in need,” said gala MC Jamie Carr. “A few year’s back, our winner’s clinic held a patient appreciation day and in return for refreshments and door prizes, guests were asked to donate cash or food items, and close to $600 went the Agapè Centre.”

Entrepreneur

The Entrepreneur of the Year award was presented to Rachelle Lamoureux of Blooms.

“The business is not cut from the usual mold,” said Carr. “Our winner has used imagination to secure unique items from all over the world that have caught the fancy of the clientele, at the same time, our winner has a definite focus on local artisans as well and makes a point of supporting that local talent with featured items in the shop.”

Business of the Year

Olsonfab President Michael Ladouceur accepted the award on behalf of the company.

“Twenty year’s ago, this parent company ‘gave-birth’ to an off-shoot and that new entity quickly began to make its mark in its sector,” said Carr. “This new part of the parent firm has today become an industry leader in its field and it is a reputation the company is justifiably proud of. its products are shipped to clients across the world and its international clients continually benefit from the firm’s turnkey solutions.”

Citizen of the Year

This year’s Citizen of the Year spent 37 years teaching in the classroom and another 24 volunteering with a variety of local organizations. For her many years of tireless work, without seeking recognition, Rachelle Lamond was named this year’s Citizen of the Year.

When asked how she felt about winning the award, Lamond said “it is so overwhelming for such a big crowd to accept your work. It is a great honour to win Citizen of the Year.”

She also had advice to those thinking about volunteering in the community.

“Don’t be shy, don’t be afraid to get involved, your community needs you,” she said.

Dr. Garth Taylor Humanitarian Award

The Dr. Garth Taylor Humanitarian Award is not presented every year, this year, the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce recognized Fred and Bonnie Cappuccino for their work helping less fortunate children in other countries.

“At one point, they sold off everything they owned — took seven of their children and moved to Sri Lanka and India where they opened a home for destitute children,” said the award presenter. “Finally, in 1985, they opened Child Haven International, an agency that receives no government funding but one that relies on the generosity of a number of benefactors. Four times a year, our Humanitarian winners, loaded with medicine, vitamins and used clothing, fly to India to visit the many homes they have founded.”

Team Cornwall Ambassador

Citizen of the Year

Roy Nichol of April Wine was recognized this year with the Team Cornwall Ambassador award.

“He and his cohorts are in one of the Canadian halls of fame, nominated for awards and — have wowed crowds right here in our own Lamoureux Park,” said the award presenter.

Young Professional Award

This year’s Young Professional Award was presented to Nolan Quinn.

“The inaugural winner of this award is an individual who unquestionably fits the bill,” Carr said of Quinn. “Our winner is a local person whose upbringing and schooling here helped mold both character and commitment. His professional career began, in high school, as a part time employee in a local business.”

Small Business

The Small Business award was presented to Denise Roberston and Michelle Longtin of Pure Organic Spa. “Along with the expansion, the owners increased the size of their staff and today, they boast a team of 17 professionals geared to meeting all of their clients needs and more,” said Carr. They have also significantly increased their selection of products and have even included men as part of the mix. The co-owners are also committed to environmental responsibility and their products reflect that commitment.”

The Breakthrough Award is presented to an idea whose time has come. This year’s award was presented to the Cornwall Innovation Centre. Kelly Bergeron, Executive Director, accepted the award on behalf of Lesley Lang and the rest of the centre.

“The Cornwall Innovation centre, based upon Carleton University’s renowned Lead to Win program, is a non-profit agency partnered by the university, the City of Cornwall, the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and the United Counties,” said the award presenter. “It is an innovation hub and business startup incubator to help entrepreneurs turn their ideas into reality.”

LANCASTER, Ontario – The United Counties of The changes came from the Ministry for Counties, Townships or property owners, the Municipal Affairs and Housing on Feb. 7 and the Township and United Counties, as well as property owners, have 20 days to appeal.

In the case of the 500 affected properties in South Glengarry, the province has changed a lot of their designations from either Rural to Agricultural or vice-versa.

There are certain things that are and are not permitted uses for an Agricultural or Rural property.

An important difference between an Agricultural and Rural property is that it is easier to obtain a consent to subdivide a Rural property.

On an Agricultural property, only one surplus residential dwelling is allowed, under specific circumstances.

“The new lot will be limited to a minimum size needed to accommodate the use and appropriate sewage and water services,”a reference document prepared by the Township of South Glengarry reads. “And the Local municipality shall, through the Zoning By-law or other municipality approach, prohibit further dwellings on the vacant retained lands created by the subject consent.”

GLEN WALTER, Ontario - The Knights of Columbus served a great breakfast on Sunday, Feb 25, 2018 to raise donations for Steve Poirier after his house was damaged by a fire in January.

“Lost his home, everything he had; furniture and clothes. He walked out with the clothes on his back and that was it,” said Robert Williams, who volunteered with the Knights of Columbus during the breakfast. Steve Poirier’s house was severely damaged by an electric fire in the basement on the second of January in Glen Walter. “I lived there since I was six years old, I always lived there,” said Steve Poirier who is also a Knight of Columbus and has volunteered for similar events in the past. The breakfast fundraiser expected to gather several thousand dollars to donate to Poirier and his family while hosting nearly three hundred people for breakfast. Steve’s grandchildren came out to help serve breakfast as well.

“The fire department did a great job for what they did but it was a total loss and it is more than challenging when you hear the address and it’s your homestead,” said Brian Poirier, the deputy chief for the fire department in Glen Walter.

Dave Ezard to be honoured at Colts final regular season home game

Provided by the Cornwall Colts CORNWALL, Ontario - The Cornwall Colts will pay tribute to Cornwall hockey icon Dave Ezard in the pre-game ceremony at their final regular season home game on Thursday, March 8.

A new banner will be unveiled recognizing Ezard’s retired number 6. The original banner dedicated to Ezard disappeared from the Civic Complex a few seasons ago.

Ezard patrolled the blueline for his hometown Royals from 1975-1980 including earning the 1980 Memorial Cup MVP. He was the first Quebec league defenceman to score 40 goals (105 points) in 1979-80.

Sadly, Ezard passed away at the young age of 36 in 1995.

Shortly after, the Cornwall Colts retired Ezard’s number 6 and unveiled a banner that hung from the rafters at the Si Miller Arena and then the Ed Lumley Arena.

Members of Ezard’s family and former teammates will be in attendance for the rededication ceremony on March 8.

Pictured from left-to-right: Back row – Mike Blackadder (assistant coach) Ellie Adams, Alyse Butler, Annika Setterington, Kaitlyn Prevost, MacKenzie Shoniker, Sarah Lewis and Rick Parisien. Front row: left-to-right – Kelly McDonald and Michaela Blackadder.

United Way Centraide SD&G is honoured to support Meals on Wheels, a volunteer-based support service that delivers hot, nutritious meals to homebound citizens of Cornwall who are unable to prepare meals for themselves. The meals are delivered by trained volunteers who provide personal contact, a safety check as well as an interested daily visitor. A senior or person with disabilities who receives daily-delivered meals experience the greatest improvements in health and quality of life compared to receiving frozen, weekly-delivered meals or no meals at all. These recipients experience improvement in mental health (anxiety and depression), improvement in self-rated health, reductions in the rate of falls, improvement in feelings of isolation and loneliness and reductions in worrying about being able to remain at home.

Meals on Wheels is changing lives and having an IMPACT – some of the recipients describe that impact in their own words: “I am grateful for the service provided by the Meals on Wheels program. Due to health issues, I cannot cook my own meals anymore. A big thank you for your service”.

OPINION

Tackling the traffic circle Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

The City of Cornwall’s Budget Steering committee decided to remove a $250, 000 study from the budget. The study would have been the first step towards changing the Cornwall traffic circle.

I think it was a good move to remove this study from the budget. It can always be revisited, and its an election year, this is the perfect issue to take to the people.

Both Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy and Councillor Claude McIntosh said that they had received a bunch of feedback from the public on this issue, most of it against the study.

Now for the study itself, while its price tag of $250, 000 seems steep, removing it will not have a direct impact on the 2018 budget. The money for the study would have been borrowed and would have only shown up on the books in 2019.

The argument from administration is that

they hoped to apply for provincial funding for a project to reshape the traffic circle. The city can only apply for the funding after the $250, 000 study is complete and administration fears that the provincial money could disappear sooner rather than later.

It isn’t certain that the city would get this provincial funding, even if it was still available.

Also, without knowing what the results of the study would be, it is hard to say if the provincial funding would be adequate or even needed.

The whole impetus to remove the traffic circle came from a suggestion from a municipal consultant that having both a traffic circle and roundabouts in the same city would create confusion.

Additionally, Cornwall is only one of two municipalities in Ontario that have a traffic circle, the other being Hamilton.

Are these valid reasons for getting rid of the Cornwall traffic circle? Maybe. Right now, the City of Cornwall has no roundabouts, so there can’t yet be any confusion inside Cornwall.

The Mayor said that he’s been told by residents that they felt insulted that they would be confused by having both traffic circles and roundabouts in the City, so how about we let them decide next election if they want the traffic circle to stay or go.

No matter what, if the traffic circle is to

change, that $250, 000 study will have to happen first.

What do you think readers? Should Cornwall keep the traffic circle, even though it will be one of the only traffic circles in the province? Let me know by emailing me a Letter to the Editor at nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

letters to the editor

The taxpayers and their ability to pay

Dear Editor, I read your column with interest. The largest issue in my opinion is thinking doing the same thing over and over again your results will change. They don’t , major change is required if the rate payers are going to be treated in a fair

way, taxes pay for ALL goverment and goverment services. The challenge we have is our governments at all levels continue to grow and the taxpayers pay the bills. It’s time to look a new ways of doing business and delivering services in a more effective way so that the

Dear Editor, As an avid lover of local history, I eagerly waited for the SD&G Historical Society’s presentation to City Council on February 26. What I witnessed astounded me.

The hour long question period between council and the society did nothing but cement my own opinion that the Society lacks transpenrancy. I was appaled to learn that the newly created assistant-curator / Manager position, funded by municipal funds, was never advertised through any media outlets. According to the

Society’s vice-president / Chairperson, Sue Holland-Lalonde, the assistant-curator position was given to “the perfect candidate, that showed up on their (the Society’s) front door.”

She later mentionned that the candidate’s qualifications were suitable for a “small town museum.” The Ontario Museum Association’s (OMA) Recruiting and Hiring Museum Curators and Directors report, clearly states that “a university degree, together with a Certificate in Museum Studies, or other postdegree/certificate programs is sufficient for ENTRY level

positions in the museum sector, experience in planning, policy development, human resource management, facility management and experience with non-profit Boards/Advisory Committees is NESCESSARY for senior staff positions in a community museum.”

Although possessing experience working within the Cornwall Community Museum, the Assistant-Curator / Manager’s qualifications (which are readily available for viewing on his LinkedIn page) seem to fall short of what the OMA describes as adequate for a senior staff

position within a museum, let alone an entry level position.

Cornwall has several residents possessing post-secondary education in history and other relatable fields. Why were they never made aware of the position? Why was it never advertized? Could advertising the position have allowed the Cornwall Community Museum to be managed by the most qualified candidate?

Perhaps...

Astounded by lack of transparency

The future is in our hands, if we continue to taxpayers don’t have to continue to pay, and increase goverment costs what will be left for pay, and pay.

There needs to be a change of direction with the next generation.....a HUGE Debt.

Take the politics out of decision making and the taxpayers ability to pay being priority #1, not growing government to meet the needs of work as a Team, it’s time for a change.

Gerald “Chuck” Charlebois, who died last week at age 69, has left a huge footprint in the community he so dearly embraced.

A man filled with endless creative energy, Chuck didn’t follow the easy and familar path.

He embraced the art of positive thinking.

He didn’t allow negative barriers thrown up to get in his way. In the 50 years I knew Chuck, I can’t recall him making one negative remark.

He was fun to be around.

He was a visionary who when most of us saw things as they are and said “Why?”, Chuck dreamed of things that never were and said “Why not?”

A high school dropout who years later, well into adult live, travelled to and from Montreal by train to take university courses, Chuck snatched ideas found in books and transformed them into a broad hopeful renaissance movement.

As a three-term city councillor and later as a private citizen, he championed the revitalization of long, neglected east Cornwall, especially the Le Village region and the under devloped waterfront.

He fought long and hard to remove the ugly oil tanks parked on the waterfront near the harbour. He spearheaded cleaning up the Canadian Cottons factories region and convinced a skeptical developer to transform the worn-out factories into plush condominiums.

Last fall, a section of the bicycle path that winds its way through the Cotton Mills district was named “Chuck Charlebois Recreational Trail”.

In obvious poor health, and in a wheelchair, Chuck was on hand for the unveiling ceremony, flashing that smile and making us

laugh with stories like how he “borrowed” the nickname Chuck from his older brother Bob, a handsome and talented pro hockey player.

Girls would call in the summer and asked for (the real) Chuck. He would pass himself as his brother and line up a date.

“When I showed up they would say, ‘You’re not Chuck.’ “ “What the heck, it was worth a try,” he laughed.

HERE AND THERE Stormont-DundasSouth Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell is backing Christine Elliott in the provincial Conservative leadership race. His second choice is Caroline Mulroney who wants to become Ontario’s first fluently bilingual premier. In the meantime, Gentleman Jim has no idea who he will be running against in the June election. But neither do the opposition parties. Liberals, NDP and Greens still haven’t announced nomination meetings. There aren’t any names on the radar screen. This is shaping up as another cake walk for McDonell. ... Second-generation Cornwall firefighter Steve O’Reilly has his retirement date down to two more shifts. ... So it has come down to this: the U.S. is going from locked doors and security guards patrolling the hallways to armed teachers. ... It isn’t a case of if there will be another deadly U.S. school shooting this year, it is a case of when? ... And, there have been more school children killed in U.S. schools this year than in Afghanistan.

raquette et le ski de fond dans le Parc de la Gatineau.

Plusieurs partenariats communautaires se sont également formés au cours des années, ce qui permet aux élèves de pouvoir utiliser les environnements naturels qui se retrouvent dans la région.

Les étudiants ont l’opportunité de suivre une multitude de certification dont celles-ci : Maniement et technique de canotage Santé et sécurité SIMDUT RCR niveau C Technique de noeuds Hike Ontario (randonnée pédestre) GPS Boussole Vivre le plein air sans trace Plusieurs autres activités de plein air sont pratiquées dans le cadre du cours afin de permettre aux élèves de goûter à une panoplie d’éléments qui contribuent à développer leurs compétences en leadership dans les domaines de l’activité physique et du plein air par le biais d’activités pédagogiques axées sur l’expérience.

Enfin, le cours de plein air permet à l’élève de s’initier à plusieurs activités, de développer le goût de pratiquer ces activités à long terme afin de maintenir une vie saine et équilibré. Cela permet aux élèves de développer plusieurs compétences dont la collaboration, la résolution de problème, la communication, la citoyenneté et l’opportunité de faire preuve d’innovation et de créativité lors des différentes activités.

L’école à l’extérieur, un lieu d’apprentissage qui est flexible et polyvalent. Plusieurs écoles du CEPEO ont développé des programmes et des partenariats permettant aux élèves de pouvoir apprendre à l’extérieur des salles de classe habituelles. Voici donc quelques écoles où les élèves peuvent vivre ces expériences d’apprentissages en plein air.

Depuis maintenant 20 ans, l’École secondaire publique L’Héritage offre des cours axés sur la vie active. L’école offre un cours de plein air ainsi qu’un programme Focus vie active et plein air.

Ce dernier regroupe un ensemble de crédits favorisant une vie saine et active tout en prenant plaisir à apprendre à l’extérieur et en développant un éthique du plein air. Ce focus fait partie de la concentration en éducation physique et de la majeure en Haute Spécialisation en environnement.

Le programme se divise en unités sous formes d’activités diverses.

Canot et le canot camping au Parc provincial du Lac Charleston; Randonnée pédestre dans le Parc des Adirondacks dans l’état de New York; Du vélo de route et de sentier; Des séances d’orientation sont également organisées afin que les élèves développent leurs habiletés à utiliser les cartes, la boussole et le GPS; Le camping d’hiver autant à l’école qu’au Parc des Adirondacks. De plus, ils font la pratique de différents sports d’hiver, dont la

respectueux de l’environnement.

Pendant ce temps à une centaine de kilomètres de là une autre école du CEPEO se démarque par son projet de l’école de la nature.

En effet l’École élémentaire et secondaire Rivière Rideau a ouvert ses portes en septembre 2016 et accueillera dès l’automne 2018 sa première cohorte d’élève de l’intermédiaire et comme l’explique Mme Josée Bédard directrice de l’établissement: « La vocation de l’école élémentaire et secondaire Rivière Rideau se veut environnementale. L’enseignement en lien avec la nature, les sciences en plein air, l’apprentissage par enquête et l’éco-responsabilité sont prioritaires.

L’équipe travaille avec la curiosité naturelle des élèves afin de développer les compétences globales: la pensée critique, la collaboration, la communication, le développement du caractère, le civisme et la créativité. Les stratégies d’enseignement et d’apprentissage sont innovatrices afin de permettre le plein épanouissement de chaque élève. » Julie Mclean enseignante-Lead à l’école de Kemptville travaille étroitement avec Forest School Canada pour s’assurer de bien comprendre les composantes de ce programme qui veut développer une future génération en santé et qui aime jouer à l’extérieur. https://youtu.be/ jPMg89T_qgk L’équipe Innovation, créativité et entrepreneuriat du volet pédagogique accompagne de façon régulière l’équipe-école de Rivière-Rideau dans le cadre du cycle d’apprentissage en enquête, les enseignants sont invités à co-planifier des activités selon les fondements de

l’apprentissage par enquête.

Si on poursuit notre voyage vers le nordouest pour environ 180 kilomètres, nous arrivons à l’École élémentaire et secondaire L’Équinoxe de Pembroke. Celle-ci offre également la possibilité aux élèves d’apprendre à l’extérieur des murs de l’école suite à un partenariat avec « Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre ». Ce centre offre maintenant des services en français.

Les activités auxquelles les élèves, autant à l’élémentaire qu’au secondaire, prennent part consistent à les éduquer et les sensibiliser aux problèmes environnementaux. Les programmes sont basés sur l’apprentissage par l’expérience et permettent aux élèves de faire des enquêtes dans le milieu naturel et d’assimiler des pratiques forestières durables tout en prenant en compte les valeurs économiques et écologiques des forêts.

Les élèves développent donc un sens de responsabilité face à cet écosystème tout en acquérant des compétences au niveau du leadership, de la collaboration, de la pensée critique, de la créativité en plus de devenir des citoyens soucieux du monde qui les entoure.

Les élèves du CEPEO ont donc l’opportunité d’apprendre et de vivre des expériences authentiques dans la nature à travers ces différents programmes offerts par les écoles. Ils développent plusieurs habiletés et compétences qui sauront les suivre dans leurs parcours scolaires et tout au long de leur vie, tout cela dans des environnements stimulants qui laissent les élèves découvrir les milieux naturels.

AVIS DE PRÉSENTATION DE RAPPORT D’ÉTUDE ENVIRONNEMENTALE SUR LES TRANSPORTS (REET)

Appel d’adhésion - La CNS crée un groupe de travail sur la conservation des forêts

Remplacement du passage inférieur de la route de comté 2/34, évaluation environnementale de portée générale et conception, GWP 4013-11-00 APERÇU DE L’ÉTUDE Le ministère des Transports de l’Ontario (MTO) a retenu les services de Dillon Consulting Limited afin de réaliser la conception et l’évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour le remplacement du passage inférieur de la route de comté 2/34 situé le long de l’autoroute 401 dans le canton de Glengarry-Sud, du comté de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry.

Communiqué de presse de la CNS

En raison de la situation géographique et de l’échéancier des travaux, le processus d’évaluation environnementale de portée générale a été coordonné avec la conception du remplacement des ponts de la rivière Raisin et du remplacement du ponceau de la crique Finney, qui sont également prévus dans le corridor de l’autoroute 401.

Sous réserve de l’obtention du financement et des approbations, on prévoit que les travaux s’amorceront à l’été 2018.

CONSULTATION ET COMMENTAIRES L’étude a été réalisée selon le processus d’évaluation environnementale de portée générale applicable aux installations de transport provinciales (2000) pour un projet du groupe B. Un rapport d’étude environnementale sur les transports (REET) a été préparé afin de documenter le processus de prise de décisions pour cette étude et il comprend un résumé des consultations réalisées auprès du public et des organismes. Le REET est accessible en ligne aux fins d’examen sur le site www.LancasterBridges.ca et aux endroits suivants durant les heures ouvrables normales du 2 mars 2018 au 3 avril 2018 : Bureau municipal du canton de Glengarry-Sud 6, rue Oak Lancaster (Ontario) K0C 1N0 De 8 h 30 à 16 h

Le conseil d’administration de la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) recherche de nouveaux membres afin d’élargir son groupe de travail sur la conservation des forêts. Le conseil de la CNS représente 16 municipalités de l’Est de l’Ontario.

Ce comité élargi de 14 nouveaux membres devrait se réunir à environ six reprises entre mars et juin 2018 pour formuler des recommandations au conseil d’administration et aux municipalités de la CNS sur les mesures à prendre pour accroître et / ou protéger le couvert forestier. Les membres du nouveau groupe comprendront des représentants des Premières nations, des représentants municipaux, des promoteurs immobiliers, des associations de propriétaires de boisés et des membres de la communauté travaillant avec trois producteurs agricoles nommés par le groupe de travail agricole précédent. « Notre objectif est d’amener les gens à travailler ensemble pour maintenir la couverture forestière dans la région, a expliqué John Mesman, chef d’équipe du service des communications de la CNS. Le groupe sera mis au courant des études passées et récentes et examinera les commentaires émis par la communauté agricole. » Les travaux relatifs au déclin du couvert forestier ont débuté lorsque la CNS a créé en 2017 son groupe de travail pour la gestion des forêts sur les terres agricoles, dans le but de produire un rapport sur les recommandations préliminaires du secteur agricole. Ce groupe était composé de 22 membres, dont presque tous étaient des agriculteurs locaux, nommés par leurs fédérations locales d’agriculture, l’union des agriculteurs et la Christian farmers’ federation.

La CNS recrute activement des membres pour recueillir des avis d’un point de vue communautaire. Un appel de candidatures est en cours et se terminera le vendredi 9 mars 2018. « Nous espérons trouver des gens désireux de venir à la table et de travailler ensemble, a déclaré M. Mesman, ajoutant : il nous faut trouver des solutions innovantes axées sur la communauté qui donneront lieu à des programmes améliorés. » Les personnes intéressées peuvent visiter nation.on.ca/fr/couvert-forestier pour accéder à l’information sur l’Initiative de conservation des forêts ou pour télécharger un formulaire de demande. Le Rapport d’analyse de la couverture forestière et des tendances de 2016 produit par la CNS est également accessible en ligne. « Cette initiative vise à réunir des gens de différentes industries pour discuter des moyens de conserver le couvert forestier, a ajouté M. Mesman. C’est notre environnement local, protégeons-le ensemble. » POUR DE PLUS AMPLES RENSEIGNEMENTS : John Mesman, chef d’équipe, Communications et sensibilisation, 1-877-984-2948, poste 302, jmesman@nation.on.ca

Le projet prévoit le remplacement du pont existant par un nouveau pont (WP 4013-11-01), qui comportera un trottoir, une voie dans chaque direction, ainsi que des voies de virage. La circulation demeurera ouverte tout au long de la construction.

Des détours de courte durée de la circulation sur l’autoroute 401 (à prévoir de nuit) seront nécessaires lors de l’installation des nouvelles poutres de pont et de la démolition du pont existant. Des fermetures de courte durée des bretelles seront également nécessaires (prévoir jusqu’à deux semaines pour les bretelles nord de l’autoroute 401 et jusqu’à trois semaines pour les bretelles sud de l’autoroute 401) pour la reconstruction des intersections des bretelles.

De plus amples renseignements sont disponibles sur le site Web du projet : www.LancasterBridges.ca.

AVIS DE PRÉSENTATION DE RAPPORT D’ÉTUDE ENVIRONNEMENTALE SUR LES TRANSPORTS (REET)

ACTUALITés

Remplacement des ponts de la rivière Raisin, évaluation environnementale de portée générale et conception, GWP 4013-11-00 APERÇU DE L’ÉTUDE Le ministère des Transports de l’Ontario (MTO) a retenu les services de Dillon Consulting Limited afin de réaliser la conception et l’évaluation environnementale de portée générale pour le remplacement des ponts de la rivière Raisin situés le long de l’autoroute 401 dans le canton de Glengarry-Sud, du comté de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry.

Le projet prévoit le remplacement des deux ponts existants de l’autoroute 401 qui franchissent la rivière Raisin dans les directions est (WP 4084-13-01) et ouest (WP 4083-13-01).

Le remplacement des ponts est rendu nécessaire en raison de leur âge et de leur état.

Sur la photo : M. François Turpin, directeur de l’éducation et secrétaire du CSDCEO, et M. Rino Lévesque, fondateur et conseiller stratégique de Idée éducation entrepreneurial.

On procédera au remplacement d’un pont par année, le premier en 2019 et le deuxième en 2020. Des travaux par étapes en préparation du remplacement des ponts seront réalisés en 2018 sur l’autoroute. La circulation sur l’autoroute 401 sera réduite alors à une seule voie dans chaque direction. L’autoroute 401 sera rouverte à la circulation durant l’hiver (aucune interdiction d’accès aux voies). La navigation sur la rivière Raisin sera maintenue durant les travaux, à l’exception de courtes fermetures au moment de l’enlèvement des ponts et de l’installation des poutres de pont. De plus amples renseignements sont disponibles sur le site Web du projet : www.LancasterBridges.ca.

Annonce d’un partenariat unique pour l’éducation entrepreneuriale Communiqué de presse de la CSDCEO

En raison de la situation géographique et de l’échéancier des travaux, le processus d’évaluation environnementale de portée générale a été coordonné avec la conception du remplacement du passage inférieur de la route de comté 2/34 et du remplacement du ponceau de la crique Finney, qui sont également prévus dans le corridor de l’autoroute 401. Sous réserve de l’obtention du financement et des approbations, on prévoit que les travaux s’amorceront à l’été 2018.

CONSULTATION ET COMMENTAIRES L’étude a été réalisée selon le processus d’évaluation environnementale de portée générale applicable aux installations de transport provinciales (2000) pour un projet du groupe B. Un rapport d’étude environnementale sur les transports (REET) a été préparé afin de documenter le processus de prise de décisions pour cette étude et il comprend un résumé des consultations réalisées auprès du public et des organismes. Le REET est accessible en ligne aux fins d’examen sur le site www.LancasterBridges.ca et aux endroits suivants durant les heures ouvrables normales du 2 mars 2018 au 3 avril 2018 : Bibliothèque publique du comté de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry – Succursale Lancaster 195, chemin Military Lancaster (Ontario) K0C 1N0 Lundi – de 9 h à 14 h Mardi au jeudi – de 10 h à 20 h Vendredi – de 12 h à 17 h Samedi – de 10 h à 14 h

Les personnes intéressées sont invitées à consulter le REET et à fournir leurs commentaires avant le 3 avril 2018. Si, après consultation des experts-conseils et du personnel du Ministère, vous éprouvez des préoccupations graves non résolues, vous avez le droit de demander au ministre de l’Environnement et de l’Action en matière de changement climatique (Édifice Ferguson, 11e étage, 77, rue Wellesley Ouest, Toronto [Ontario] M7A 2T5), pour prendre un arrêté prévu à la partie II (c.-à-d., un changement de catégorie) pour ce projet. Un arrêté prévu à la partie II peut mener à la préparation d’une évaluation environnementale individuelle. Un exemplaire de la demande d’arrêté prévu à la partie II doit être acheminé au MTO, aux adresses figurant ci-dessous. S’il n’existe aucune question en suspens après le 3 avril 2018, on considérera que le projet respecte les exigences de l’évaluation environnementale de portée générale.

Le Conseil scolaire du district catholique de l’est ontarien (CSDCEO) est fier d’annoncer son partenariat avec Idée éducation entrepreneuriale. Ce partenariat permettra au CSDCEO de continuer à développer un programme unique en éducation entrepreneuriale pour les élèves de ses écoles catholiques de langue française.

Par des activités pédagogiques, communautaires et expérientielles, le but de ce nouveau partenariat est d’instaurer une culture entrepreneuriale consciente chez les élèves.

L’entrepreneuriat est devenu dans les classes des écoles du CSDCEO une intention d’apprentissage et un contexte d’enseignement.

Le CSDCEO a comme objectif que les élèves acquièrent des compétences essentielles d’employabilité et de citoyenneté afin qu’ils contribuent au mieux-être de la société. « Pour développer l’esprit entreprenant chez nos élèves, nous établissons des partenariats avec des acteurs clés dans le domaine de l’innovation et de l’entrepreneuriat. En retour, nous pouvons offrir une programmation riche et authentique avec des projets novateurs dans nos écoles. Ce programme est unique à nos écoles et il est rendu possible grâce à notre planification stratégique. Celle-ci mise sur la réussite de chaque élève. » de dire François Turpin, directeur de l’éducation et secrétaire.

L’année scolaire 2017-2018 marque les 20 ans du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO), le plus grand réseau d’écoles de langue française dans les cinq comtés de Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott et Russell. En plus d’avoir le plus haut taux de diplomation de la région (92,6 %), le CSDCEO offre des programmes pour la réussite de tous les élèves, des valeurs catholiques, un français de qualité et un certificat de bilinguisme. Le CSDCEO assure l’éducation à plus de 10 000 élèves, répartis dans plusieurs centres de la petite enfance (garderies), 25 écoles élémentaires, 7 écoles secondaires et le Centre d’éducation et de formation de l’Est ontarien (CÉFEO).

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Angus Spreull McLeod on February 12, 2018, surrounded by family in San José, Costa Rica.

Angus leaves behind his beloved wife of 35 years, Desirée, sons, Colin (Laura) and Fraser (Sarah), and brother, Ian (Julie) and mother-in-law, Miriam. He is predeceased by parents Donald and Margaret and father-in-law Gene. Angus was born on April 24, 1953 in Montreal, Quebec, and was fortunate to be able to transform his love of the outdoors into a career as a Planner with Parks Canada, leaving a legacy of preservation of Canada’s wilderness for future generations.

Angus had a strong desire to give back to the Cornwall community, joining initiatives to promote a sustainable future and healthy communities. Angus was happiest when with his wife and boys, travelling the world and spending time at the cottage at Lac Labelle. He treated everyone with compassion and generosity, always making an effort to learn more about the people he met along his journey of life. On the morning before he fell ill in Costa Rica, Angus remarked on his pure happiness and joy of living in the moment. Pura Vida. He will be sorely missed by his family and all who knew him, as he was a life taken suddenly and too soon. We welcome you to join us as we celebrate Angus’ life on Saturday, March 3 at Knox-St. Paul’s United Church in Cornwall, Ontario. Greetings will begin at 1:00 pm, followed by a celebration of life at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to support the community through the Agape Centre Cornwall http://agapecentre.ca/ or Hospice Cornwall http://cornwallhospice.com/ 7465498

CORNWALL, Ontario - In an emailed statement to local media, Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell has endorsed Christine Elliot for the leadership of his party, the Progressive Conservatives (PC).

“I am proud to support Christine Elliott for Leader of our PC Party,” the statement reads.

“Christine brings great wisdom and a tremendous wealth of experience to the position, including being an MPP for nine years, our Deputy Leader, a professional lawyer and a tireless community advocate.”

Elliot is currently one of five individuals competing to replace Patrick Brown as leader of the PC Party.

Brown resigned the position after CTV published a story alleging sexual misconduct on his part, a claim which he has strongly denied.

Other candidates in the race for the PC

leadership include Doug Ford, Caroline Mulroney, Tanya Granic and Patrick Brown himself, who announced on Friday that he would seek to regain the position he stepped down from despite being kicked out of the Conservative caucus by interim leader Vic Fedeli.

McDonell’s statement on Elliot went on to laud her strong leadership skills, which he said he hoped would unite his party and bring integrity to the office of the Ontario Premier.

Some readers noticed that the Weekly Smile was not in the paper last week. Some also mistook Shar’s Tips as our weekly joke. While we agree that Shar’s Tips is not as funny as the Friday Smile, it is a great source of cleaning knowledge.

At the last budget meeting, the City of Cornwall managed to cut around $300,000 from the City’s capital budget. Just $2.2 million to go and they can responsibly pass a residential tax increase of 4 percent. What an exciting time in municipal politics.

Patrick Brown is in and then he’s out. In about a week’s time, the Ontario PC Party should have a new leader and then maybe they can put all of this drama behind them and focus on the election. Or, the drama might just be beginning.

Here are a few questions for you. First: When was the last time you were happy? Second: Are you content? Third: When is the word ‘pleasure’ most often used? Before reading on, put down the paper, go make yourself a mug of coffee or a cup of tea. Better still, take some time to bake some muffins or scones as part of your reflection time. Do anything to prolong the period of time of thinking about happiness, contentment and pleasure.

Okay, now that your contemplation time is over, I’ll share my thoughts, starting with the concept of‘happy’. Anyone who gets the Seaway News

in print form should be happy. Why? Because we live in a part of Canada that has a relatively benign climate, one that features an ice storm during years that end in a -98 and an Ice Age every 10,000 years.

Also, because our grocery store shelves are groaning with a wide variety of tropical foods all year round. Then there are the extreme moments of ‘happy’. They exist only momentarily. I once had one, which I call a ‘yahoo’ moment, on Saturday July 1, 1967, at about 4:00 PM. The Grand River was in full flood. To put it mildly, it was white water in extremis. On the paddlers’ scale of 1 - 6, it was at an 8 or 9 level of difficulty.

My partner and I had successfully run the river’s Elora Gorge in an open canoe. Result: Johanne and

I became the Canadian C-2 open mixed whitewater champions. What a way to celebrate the centennial of Canadian confederation!

Yahoo moments occur rarely, and they last for but a moment. If a wingless Boeing 747 manages to touches down smoothly on a Wal-Mart parking lot, that would be classified as a yahoo moment.

For Kathleen Wynne (only), it would be being reelected as Premier. “Yessss!”may be uttered instead of “Yaaaa-hooo!” during yahoo moments.

Please feel free to tell me about any yahoo moment you may have experienced.

Next: being content. Unlike the momentary yahoo event, contentment is a long-lasting phenomenon. Some examples: gazing out from the

front porch at the vast forest of towering oaks you planted during your youth. That’s contentment.

Another: over fifty years ago, you had been in the ranks of a liberating army. You had stayed on to assist in the renewal of its industries, housing and government. You are now on a return visit, being fêted by the appreciative villagers of the community that you helped resurrect from the ashes of war.

Contentment is a peaceful thing, something quiet, a lasting time.

Question: when is the word ‘pleasure’ frequently heard? Answer? Two weeks from now, I’ll write about it. In the meantime, you think about it, and also, your past experiences with ‘happy’ and ‘content’.
