$1M campaign for Arts Centre launches Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - The official campaign launch to raise $1 million for a new Arts Centre in Cornwall took place at the old Bank of Montreal building on the evening of Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2019.

The building was purchased by the City of Cornwall last spring for over $400,000 and administration estimates that $4-$6 million will be required for renovations before the new arts centre could be opened. This is roughly half the cost of the previously planned arts centre that was envisioned to be built in a remodeled Civic Complex.

The building was purchased under the previous council and past Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy.

“Past Council under the leadership of Mayor O’Shaughnessy, who is hiding in the back, had the foresight to purchase this building,” said Katie Burke, one of the leaders of the fundraising campaign.

At the start of the evening, the campaign had already raised $110,000, but withing a few minutes that number had ballooned to $144,500 thanks to donations handed in from Focus Art, the Arts Collective and Warner Insurance.

“It is an amazing feeling to make $34,500 in a few minutes. I feel like a CEO,” said Burke.

Those who are interested in contributing to the campaign can do so through making pledges at the City of Cornwall finance office.

The donations can be over a multi-year committment and can also be made via credit card.

The fundraising campaign aims to have rewards for different levels of donations, and Burke said that the committee was looking into ways to honour contributors in the art centre when it opens.

The committee aims to reach its goal of $1 million by July 1.

Mayor Clement invited to Ottawa MLK Day Shawna O’Neill shawna.oneill@tc.tc

OTTAWA, Ontario – Mayor Jim Watson was set to host Mayor Bernadette Clement at noon on Jan. 21 to celebrate and speak about Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Day. “It’s quite an honour to be speaking at this event that has honoured people I have watched for years,” said Clement. “These are people that have provided inspiration to me.

Mayor Clement was thrilled and in disbelief when she was asked to attend, following in the footsteps of her inspirations Michaëlle Jean, Former Governor of Canada and Canada’s first

black female governor, as well as Jean Augustine, one of the first black female Canadian MPs. “I’m aware that race and heritage are important for people who want to see diversity in leadership roles, (and) to see themselves represented in leadership roles. Representation matters,” said Mayor Clement.

“I’ve always been aware of MLK Day and Black History Month. That’s a part of my heritage,” she added.

Mayor Clement said that she is still surprised by the reaction to her mayoral election outside of Cornwall. She said that although she is proud of her heritage, it isn’t always relevant in her day-to-

day activities as Mayor.

“People understand that Cornwall elected the first female black Mayor. Nowhere else in Ontario did that…Cornwall is very progressive…it’s a city in transition, doing all kinds of interesting things to define itself and move itself forward,” said Mayor Clement.

As a keynote speaker, Mayor Clement planned to speak about the city of Cornwall, importance of engagement in municipal politics and the importance of MLK Day. “MLK stands for respect. Respect of diversity, peaceful requesting of respect around diversity.

He represents all of those struggles that African

Americans lived through in 50s and 60s…the peaceful struggle he tried to lead is inspiring in someone who wants to be respected in their diversity,” said Mayor Clement.

The event annually takes place at City Hall in Ottawa, organized by Dreamkeepers, an organization that promotes the vision of MLK. “To think that now somewhere out there, there might be a kid who watched me and said, ‘that might be something I could do,’ it’s really special to me,” said Mayor Clement.

A NEW TERM FOR HIGH RETURNS

Curling rocks!

Shawna O’Neill

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – For the first time ever, the Cornwall Curling Club invited adult curlers to Bring a Friend to Try Curling on Saturday, Jan. 19.

“The idea came to me from a new curler that this would be a good idea,” explained Neil MacLean, past President of Cornwall Curling Club. “We haven’t really done this before…and a couple of other people said, ‘yeah, this could be fun.’”

MacLean said he was thrilled with the turnout and unfortunately had to turn away a few wannabe curlers due to a shortage of experienced players to instruct them. He said he will look into hosting another event in March due to the demand. Curlers could participate for a fee of $10, which included food made by St. Joseph

Secondary School students. Proceeds from the event will go to the Cornwall Youth Curling Program.

“It’s going really well,” said Kelly McLeod.

McLeod, who was a Little Rocker curler at the age of 7, rediscovered her passion for curling during college. She was excited to teach some of her friends about the sport during the event.

McLeod predicted that the most difficult part for the new curlers would be for them to get their balance and slide out on the ice.

“We talk about curling a lot when we’re at work…so for someone to come and try it out one time and see if they want to try it again in the future, there’s no commitment right (now),” said McLeod.

“It’s all about getting people into this club, getting them to try curling,” she added.

Edible garden coming to bandshell CORNWALL, Ontario - The City of Cornwall approved $1,000 in matching funds from the City’s horticultural budget to go towards the creation of an edible garden around the Bandshell in Lamoureux Park this spring.

Council approved the motion after a presentation from Alain D’Aoust of the Edible Cities Project about the group’s plans for the Bandshell.D’Aoust explained that the goal of the

project would not be to build gardens that required a lot of maintenance, but rather, that were self-sustaining.

“One misconception is we’re looking to plant edible gardens around town . . . that is not the case,” D’Aoust told Council.

D’Aoust claims that the installations will require less effort over time and will achieve this by trying to mimic a natural ecosystem.

Edible Cities’ plan for the site would involve installing fruit trees, berries and herbs on the west side of the bandshell, which receives more

sunlight, and perennial vegetables and leafy greens on the east side, which is more protected from the wind.

Behind the Bandshell, 10 planter boxes have already been installed that will be used to grow herbs, small fruit, edible flowers and nursery stock.

D’Aoust addressed possible concerns around the project, including vandalism.

“I think if we look at the ornamental landscapes we have around town and I think they are very rarely vandalized,” he said. “The risk will

always be there. I firmly believe that in a community that participates, the bullies are eventually bullied out.”

D’Aoust envisions this site becoming an educational location for students in the community who want to learn more about horticulture and sustainable ecosystems.

He hopes that this pilot project will lead to other edible projects. One example of a possible future edible project raised by D’Aoust was edible installations along the bike paths.

Changing winters may mean changing water levels on the St. Lawrence River Provided by the St. Lawrence River Institute CORNWALL, Ontario - Our winters are changing – it doesn’t take a scientist or an engineer to know that it’s not as cold as it used to be and that we tend to have less snow now than we have had in the past.

Jacob Bruxer has noted these changes while spending winters ice fishing, watching birds and skating with his kids on their backyard rink.

He also happens to be Sr. Water Resources Engineer at the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Regulation Office of Environment and Climate Change Canada in Cornwall and is part of a team of scientists and engineers that supports the International Lake Ontario – St. Lawrence River Board, which is responsible for regulating the flow of water released through MosesSaunders Dam. He’ll discuss the many ways that our winters have changed in this area, including some that may be less obvious, like the way that ice forms – or at times, doesn’t form – on the St. Lawrence River. These changes have implications on hydrology and how water levels and flows vary throughout the Lake Ontario – St. Lawrence River system, and not just in winter, but

seasonally and from year-to-year. Jacob says, “Our changing winters may be contributing to an increased risk of extreme water levels, both highs and lows, with recent examples pointing to the potential for both short- and long-term impacts on a number of stakeholders, including shoreline residents, commercial navigation and hydropower interests, as well as the ecosystem.”

He adds, “Understanding all of these factors, how they are related and how they are evolving is a critical component of water management in the Lake Ontario - St. Lawrence River system.”

Local man Andre Cayer to lead Shriners in SD&G and Quebec Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

Andre Cayer Cayer is one of only three other men from Cornwall and SD&G who have been made Potentate for their region, one of the others is Rory McLennan, the current President of the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce.

Cayer, who is a former Big Brother and scout leader says that he enjoys being a part of an organization that supports children.

“The thing that I remember the most, is my first time out as a clown, someone had asked me to fill in for them,” he said. “A little boy came up to me and opened up about his father passing away and his mom said, “you’re the first person he’s opened up to,” and I thought, oh my god, I’ve made a difference in this boy’s life.”

Cayer says that the Shriners Hospital for Children give kids a welcoming world during the most difficult time.

“You go in and see the difference you make to all of these children,” he said. “They don’t have a world, but when you go in, the hospital and staff give them a world.”

Cornwall will be hosting an important Shriners meeting over three days in May where, among other business, the Shriners will be inducting new members.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Andre Cayer has been a Shriner for more than two decades. That time has seen him put in a lot of work for the Shriners and for the children’s hospital they support in Montreal.

Now, Cayer finds himself leading the effort to promote the Shriners and raise funds for the Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal.

On Saturday, Jan. 12, Cayer was installed as the Potentate for the Shriner’s Karnak region, which covers Cornwall, SD&G and all of Quebec.

As Potentate, Cayer is in charge of installing the Executives of the clubs in his region, advertising and billboards promoting the hospital, and reporting to the Shriners’ headquarters in Tampa Bay, FL. Before becoming Potentate, Cayer had spent 23 years as a Shriner and 26 years as a Mason. As a Shriner he has been a photographer and even a Shriner clown, a job he said he particularly enjoyed.

Cayer says that he is proud as a Shriner to come from an area that so strongly supports the cause of helping sick kids.

“The Cornwall area is one of the largest fundraisers for the hospital,” he said. “This area has always been one of the strongest of all the clubs that Montreal has.”

SD&G has raised roughly $15,000 through their bingo nights and through their Love Boat fundraiser in 2018. That money was used to support their transportation fund.

Members of the SD&G Shriners will drive local patients to their appointments at the hospital. While they are not making many trips right now, Cayer says that there are three families in the region who have children that are patients at the hospital.

There are around 80 Shriners in the SD&G Shriners Club.

Celebrating Family Literacy Day

shawna.oneill@tc.tc

LANCASTER, Ontario – Families were invited to take part in reading activities at the Lancaster SDG Library branch on Saturday, Jan. 19 between 10:30 a.m. and noon.

“Lancaster branch got an early start at celebrating Family Literacy Day,” said Donna McMillan of the SDG Library. “Special guest South Glengarry Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden entertained the children by reading Stuck by Oliver Jeffers in his animated and entertaining voice. The children then tried their luck on the ABC Scavenger Hunt and at the Literacy Fish Pond. It was a stimulating and fun Saturday morning at the Lancaster branch.”

The SDG Library promoted celebrating Family Literacy Day early which falls on Sunday, Jan. 27

this year, reinforcing the importance and value of reading in a child’s life.

Nik Anderson, mother of three, enjoys reading to her children and understands the importance of literacy.

“It’s so much closeness…we play video games with them but it’s not the same,” said Anderson.

Anderson and her family are new to South Glengarry as of 2018 but said that her oldest daughter wasted no time registering for a library card. A family favourite of Anderson’s is a book called Milk. Anderson said that reading together with her children leads to inside jokes and irreplaceable bonding.

“It’s just heartwarming to see them come to the library and read,” said McMillan. “Then they realize how important the library is and learn about all the services it has.”

A full platoon of firefighters assisted with the water rescue. Police and paramedic personnel were also on the scene. The male was reportedly feeling cold but suffered no health effects.

Chief Dewar explained that a rescue event like this has not occurred locally in quite some time. In the past, firefighters have rescued individuals who have fallen in the water in freezing temperatures.

Chief Pierre Voisine announced on Twitter that he was extremely proud of the firefighters in their rescue mission. Chief Dewar was also feeling fortunate for the safe operation.

CORNWALL, Ontario – Organizers Melanie Baker-Brown and Janet Martel are looking forward to the 13th annual Aultsville Filmfest, running from Jan. 25 to 27.

The weekend-long event will feature eight films. One film, Expo 67 Mission Impossible, will even hold a discussion period following the screening with the filmmaker.

“We have a real collection, a real variety this year,” said Baker-Brown. “A film festival is important because we do a collection of independent, foreign films and it’s a way to share stories around the world. We open our hearts and minds to different cultures and different situations.”

Baker-Brown explained that the films are run through an outreach program associated with the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). She is thankful for the committee support of Pam Maloney and Andrea White who help to run the annual film series at the theatre. Baker-Brown maintains that the festival seeks to engage, enlighten and entertain. She is always pleased with the discussion following a film.

“Everybody that has come to try it has always

come back,” said Baker-Brown. “I’m always surprised as to which ones (films) come off as favourites…that’s the fun part. It keeps it interesting… by the end of the weekend, most of the audience have seen them all and want to see more…they’re in the mindset of different experiences.”

Janet Martel, Executive Director of Aultsville Theatre, is always excited to collaborate as a part of this event. Martel admires the pointed messaging of most of the films and commends BakerBrown on her selections.

“You don’t have to be a die hard film enthusiast to enjoy the filmfest,” said Martel. “Just come, get out of the cold, enjoy a screening.”

Tickets are available online and at the Cornwall Civic Complex box office. Weekend passes cost $130 each and include access to each screening, as well as food and beverages during social breaks. Individual screening tickets are also available for $15 and $10 for students.

Baker-Brown would like to thank all of the generous event sponsors that make the film festival a success.

news Group Quint owner Ian Quint told Seaway News that his company intended to attract more retail businesses to the mall.

“We’ve already had good feedback with our network of tenants,” said Quint. “We are anticipating filling up vacancies with tenants pretty quickly.”One new retailer Quint hopes to attract to the Square is a grocery store.

These plans for the Sears section of the mall contradict those of the Square’s

previous owners, Partners REIT. In March 2018, Partners REIT stated their intention to tear down Sears and build condos.

CORNWALL, Ontario - Tommy Sauve, The City of Cornwall’s Safety, Training and Operations Supervisor posted on Facebook earlier today that one of the Crossing Guards in Cornwall was struck by a vehicle early on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2019.

“Early this morning one of our crossing guards was struck by a vehicle as he was performing his duties, thankfully he was not seriously injured (minor bump and bruise),” wrote Sauve. “My message to everyone is simple, slow down and pay attention in every school zone for everyone’s safety, there is no need for

anyone to drive aggressive because they are in a hurry, running late or simply not paying attention. Crossing Guards perform a vital service in our community, most importantly, protecting our children with a safe passage when crossing the street.”

The incident took place at the Water St. and Gloucester St. crossing. According to the Cornwall Community Police Service, the incident took place at around 8:20 a.m. and the driver was charged under the Highway Traffic Act. Those who do not obey a Crossing Guard’s signals can be fined $180. Sauve states that the driver involved in this morning’s incident was charged by police.

OPINION

Council should be allowed to make these decisions Nick Seebruch nicholas.seebruch@tc.tc

Whether you agree with the decisions of council or not, they have been empowered by the people to speak on our behalf and that at least, needs to be respected.

At the Cornwall City Council meeting last Monday, I feel that the authority of Council was usurped by City administration.

Council was presented a report about two options for the future of recycling and waste management in the City of Cornwall, later in the meeting, they were asked to give their consent and award a new waste management contract based on one of those decisions. Council was told that if it did not go with administration’s recommendation, then the City could be sued.

The contract was based on option two, Council had no opportunity to even consider option one.

Additionally, the contract recommended a proposal from a new company. Cornwall had been with it’s current company, HGC, for 28 years, and the proposal of the new company, E360S, was higher than HGC’s. If the contract is finally awarded to E360S, as administration

recommends, then some HGC employees could lose their jobs. I’m not going to say which of these options is better, but I will say that Council should be the ones who make the final decision on this and not administration.

The process for this contract took away Council’s ability to make decisions on behalf of the people. Intentional or not, administration had taken Council’s right to choose out of their hands and out of the hands of the people.

I spoke with a member of administration about why the report explaining the options for the contract, and the contract itself were included in the same meeting and why the contract chose one option without first getting direction from Council.

His explanation was that time constraints had forced administration into a corner. The current waste management contract expires at the end of March. Administration put out the Request for Proposal (RFP) for this contract in November, while the previous council was still sitting and in a lame duck session, so they were unable to make any decisions.

There should have been time between when the report was submitted to council and when

the contract was decided. Administration should have not based any contract decisions on either option because Council had yet to choose one.

My final thought however, is that while administration should not have usurped the power of council the way that they did, they were able to do so thanks to the environment council has created and maintained for them.

If Council wants to avoid a situation like this in the future, then they need to look at what happened here and tighten the reigns around

administration. They should make it so that contracts can not be based on councils “presumed consent”. Administration has known for years that this waste management contract would expire in 2019, this whole issue should have been addressed earlier and brought to past council before the election and the lame duck session.

‘halibut’.)

Please note that I said “…takes great pleasure in fishing.” If you fish, it does not necessarily mean you enjoy eating fish – or fish and chips. If it’s fish you want, go to Foodland, Loblaws or Fresh-Co. Most fishermen are out there for the fresh air, the peace, the opportunity to gaze at the sky, peer into the depths and listen to the loon, heron and tern, the basso-profundo of the bullfrog and slap of the beaver’s tail. Most sport fishermen practise catch-and-release.

What will happen at Fitzgerald’s first gathering of local photo enthusiasts? No president, vice-president or treasurer will be commandeered to serve. No fees will be collected. We’ll just gather around a table and ‘shoot the breeze’.

Somebody might come up with a story about how she managed to do some outdoor

photography when the Celsius and Fahrenheit numbers were together at the bottom of the thermometer. Her friend might share about how she dealt with shooting under the high humidity conditions during her cruise up the Amazon.

Another might ask the group about any suggestions for photographing sunsets.

Just before the librarian at the Ingleside Library calls out, “Time, gentlemen - and ladies, time!”, we hope someone will suggest we meet again.

The first ‘Photographers’ Gathering’ will take place on Wednesday January 30, 2019, starting at 6:30 pm sharp, at the SD&G County Library, Memorial Square, Ingleside. I’ll be there – and you are invited. Bring a friend too! Questions: (613) 537-9897 or nuthilltoo@gmail.com.

Birds of a feather…

Yes, you knew the rest was ‘flock together’. It’s also true that fish swim in schools, pilots do a lot of hangar flying, veterans meet to trade war stories, campers share tales around campfires and scouts have jamborees.

When the brethren of any persuasion get together, they learn from the sharing of their experiences, problems and skills. Camaraderie provides opportunities to learn and just have fun.

That’s why John Fitzgerald of Cornwall contacted me to see if we could organize a gathering

of local photographers. Here’s the gist of his pitch: “It would just be an informal opportunity to share experiences, skills and problems that arise from the hours spent behind a camera viewfinder. There are some who’ve been around since the days of the darkroom and Kodachrome.

There are others who have just discovered the wonderful world of digital photography. Still others have stories to share about how they stalked an elusive subject as if they were trying to bag an umpteen-point buck to mount above the fireplace.”

OPINION

Life after political death Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@cornwallseawaynews.com

Who said there can’t be life after a political death. Or at least an attempted resurrection.

Svend Robinson, whose federal political career crashed and burned in 2004 after a $25,000 diamond ring somehow fell into his pocket while at a jewelry show, has announced that he will run in a British Columbia riding.

At the time, Robinson admitted to the theft.

Well, sort of. He never referred to it as theft.

Instead, he sugar coated it as “pocketing” the ring. Much was made of Robinson walking into a police station two days later and confessing.

The fact was the “pocketing” was caught on video, so the cops knew he took it. He just saved them the trouble of going to get him.

In a tearful public admission, he blamed “pocketing” the ring on stress and while at the jewelry show he sort of “snapped.”

Robinson said he wants to make a comeback because of his climate change and national housing concerns. Oh, did he mention the lofty six-figure salary and perks?

And here in Ontario, the old batttle-axe is back on the political stage.

The Ford government has “lured” 97-yearold Hazel McCallion, the feisty mayor of Mississauga from 1978-2014, out of retirement to serve as a special adviser to housing minister Steve Clark and his staff.

For her pearls of wisdom vis-a-vis housing,

she will be paid $150,000 a year. Not exactly chump change for part-time work.

You would think that with a minister, who has a municipal government background (former mayor of Brockville) and is supported by a bevy of well-paid housing experts, what can McCallion add to the housing portfolio. Why not appoint an “expert”, a family breadwinner who lives and breathes the big city housing crisis and whose family has been on the wait list for affordable housing for the last two years.

Besides, thought McCallion was a friend of Preem Kathy and the former government?

HERE AND THERE Remember before computers and all that fancy technology, cars came with manual chokes that pulled out for cold winter starts. Then there was the spray-ether in the carburetor trick. And if you want to go way back, those old cars with a crank. ... Sgt. Dave MacLean, Cornwall Police Association president, was nominated by Ottawa Police Association for another term on the Ontario Police Association board during the provincial association’s winter huddle in Niagara Falls. ...

Calvin Killoran, veteran TVCogeco manager of programming & community relations, has joined the large stable of local media folks who have retired. ... You know it is a bad snow storm when Sunday afternoon bingo is cancelled. ...

This is the kind of thing that is hard to make up: On Sunday night a Florida highway patrol officer ran over a couple lying in a dark roadway near West Balm Beach. They were watching the lunar eclipse.

SPORTS STUFF Paul Coffey, who owns four Stanley Cup rings and was named the NHL’s top defenceman three times, is a key investor in

a new waste collection company based in the Toronto area. ... Mohammad Ali, then Cassius Clay, won a gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympic Games. However, he almost didn’t make the trip. Ali was terrified of flying and didn’t want to go. So, somebody came up with the idea of allowing him to wear a parachute on the transAtlantic flight. ... Many armchair quarterbacks touted the Leafs as Stanley Cup contenders, while the same prognosticators gave Les Canadiens little or no chance of making the playoffs. But here we are, more than halfway through the NHL schedule and the Leafs are just one point better than the Habs.

LOOKING BACK AT 1938 Dr. W. A. Milligan, a family physician, stepped down as mayor to become the medical officer of health for the United Counties. He had one year left on his two-year mayoral term. ... Canadian National Railway was offering a return trip from Cornwall to Montreal for $1.40. ... Cornwall dairies Cornwall Dairy, Rivermead, East Side and Daisy - announced that they would begin charging a five cent bottle deposit. Today, it is called recycling. ... An exhibition hockey game in Potsdam between Mille Roches Seniors and Clarkson College was played in a minus 23F chill on a wind-swept outdoor rink (didn’t measure wind chill in those days) in the New York town. Eight minutes into the game Mille Roches goalie Chuck Gamache was forced to quit with frozen feet and frost-bitten ears. Before the game was over, several other players from both teams followed him to the locker room to seek medical attention. Several courageous spectators were recruited to fill the holes in the lineups. When the game concluded, Clarkson was up 14-1. One

of the Mille Roches players lamented that the heater in the car on the ride to the game wasn’t working and there was no heat in the rink’s club house. “Think it will be summer before I warm up,” he said. ... Someone tried to burn down the Cass Bridge Public School, on Highway 31 three miles south of Winchester. School janitor Bliss Bowman discovered the front steps of the school had been ablaze. ... Cornwall Police Department recorded its second consecutive year (1937) without a traffic fatality. (Remember the billboard at the foot of Pitt Street with the traffic statistics?) The annual review showed that the eight-man force investigated 123 accidents, down from 134. Twenty-two persons were injured, 16 fewer than the previous year.

However, the department made 278 arrests during the year, an increase of 81.

TRIVIA Under a heavy veil of secrecy and high security that included armed guards this plant was built in Cornwall by the federal government in 1942. What did the plant produce?

TRIVIA ANSWER The RCMP office in Cornwall moved to Long Sault from its office (in a house) on First Street East (near Central Park) in 1966, but in 1981 it was moved back to the city. This followed a break-in at the less-thansecure Long Sault office in which evidence for a trial (the next day) was stolen along with a highly-confidential list of local informants. With key evidence gone, the case against the accused was dropped. The break-in and theft was never solved. To say the Mounties were embarrassed would be an understatement.

Depuis le mois de décembre, les élèves de l’école Rose des Vents partagent leur journée avec des robots. En effet, les Beebot, Ozobot et Makey Makey sont parmis les nouveautés à notre belle école!

Les élèves de maternelle-jardin apprennent à interagir avec les Beebot, charmantes petites abeilles robotisées.

Les élèves apprennent à programmer ces abeilles à effectuer des trajets en appuyant simplement sur les touches de leur dos. On développe ainsi la latéralité et la créativité!

Les élèves de 1ère année apprivoisent de leur côté les Ozobots. Petits bulles, ils se promènent selon le code que les élèves

AVIS DE LA COMMISSION DE L’ÉNERGIE DE L’ONTARIO AUX CLIENTS DE ENBRIDGE GAS INC. (AUPARAVANT ENBRIDGE GAS DISTRIBUTION INC. ET UNION GAS LIMITED)

Mon choix de cours, ma MHS

Enbridge Gas Inc. a déposé une requête en vue d’obtenir une augmentation de ses tarifs de gaz naturel, entrant en vigueur au 1er janvier 2019

Communiqué de presse du CDSCEO

ONTARIO - Dans les écoles secondaires du Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO), c’est le temps pour les élèves de faire leur choix de cours pour l’an prochain. Du même coup, ils ont la possibilité de s’inscrire à une des multiples spécialisations disponibles dans différents domaines.

Au total, les écoles secondaires du CSDCEO offrent 10 différentes Majeures hautes spécialisations (MHS). La MHS est un programme spécialisé qui permet à l’élève de se concentrer sur un cheminement de carrière compatible avec ses aptitudes et ses intérêts. Nous invitons tous les élèves et tous les parents à communiquer avec le service d’orientation de leur école pour en savoir davantage et pour s’inscrire à une MHS. Voici les 10 MHS offertent au CSDCEO : - Affaires - Agriculture - Arts et culture - Construction - Environnement - Fabrication - Santé et bien-être - Service à but non lucratif - Sports - Transport « Une des raisons pour lesquelles nous avons le plus haut taux de diplomation de la région est que nos élèves ont la possibilité de suivre des cours dans des domaines qui les intéressent.

Qu’il s’agissent des sports, des arts, des métiers, la technologie, les langues, les sciences, les mathématique ou les affaires, la diversité de nos programmes offerts permettent aux élèves de personnaliser leur éducation secondaire selon leurs intérêts. », de partager M. François Turpin, directeur de l’éducation et secrétaire.

Le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO) est 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 (93,2 %), 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 10 100 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).

Apprenez-en plus. Donnez votre avis.

La Commission de l’énergie de l’Ontario a approuvé la fusion d’Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. et d’Union Gas Limited en août 2018. Les deux sociétés ont fusionné pour former Enbridge Gas Inc. Enbridge Gas Inc. a déposé une requête auprès de la Commission de l’énergie de l’Ontario en vue d’obtenir une augmentation de ses tarifs de gaz naturel, entrant en vigueur au 1er janvier 2019. Si la demande est approuvée telle quelle, la facture annuelle d’un client résidentiel type dans les anciennes zones de tarification d’Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. et d’Union Gas Limited augmentera des montants suivants : Zone de tarification

Augmentation annuelle de la facture résidentielle 5,74 $ 9,98 $ 4,88 $ 6,81 $

Enbridge Gas Union Sud Union Nord-Est Union Nord-Ouest

Les tarifs sont fondés sur un cadre d’établissement des tarifs et d’autres rajustements déjà approuvés par la Commission de l’énergie de l’Ontario pour la période 2019-2023. Les taux sont fixés au moyen d’une formule liée à l’inflation et à d’autres facteurs visant à favoriser l’efficience.

Enbridge Gas Inc. demande également à la Commission de l’énergie de l’Ontario d’approuver sa proposition de tarification et les coûts de certains projets d’immobilisations qui ne font pas partie de ses dépenses en immobilisations régulières.

D’autres clients d’Enbridge Gas Inc. pourraient être touchés. Nous vous recommandons de vérifier soigneusement cette demande afin de déterminer si vous êtes concerné par ces modifications.

LA COMMISSION DE L’ÉNERGIE DE L’ONTARIO TIENDRA UNE AUDIENCE PUBLIQUE La Commission de l’énergie de l’Ontario (CEO) tiendra une audience publique afin d’étudier la demande d'Enbridge Gas Inc. Nous demanderons à Enbridge Gas Inc. de justifier la nécessité de ce changement. Nous entendrons également les questions et les arguments des clients individuels et des groupes qui représentent les clients d'Enbridge Gas Inc. À la fin de l’audience, la CEO décidera si l’augmentation tarifaire demandée sera approuvée.

La Commission de l’énergie de l’Ontario est une agence publique indépendante et impartiale. Les décisions que nous prenons visent à servir au mieux l’intérêt public. Notre objectif est d’encourager le développement d’un secteur de l’énergie efficace et financièrement viable, afin d’offrir des services énergétiques fiables à un prix raisonnable.

There is something for everyone. Some local community news, some funny anecdotes, some interesting observations. There is a lot in there.

Not only is it likely that you’ll find something for you, the really great thing is that if there are items you aren’t interested in, then you don’t have to read them and someone else can enjoy them!

You must also turn the key in the ignition before you can put the car in gear. If you change your mind, the remote starter can also turn off the engine, or the brake pedal acts as a kill switch.

The remote starter is now available as a luxury add-on that can include a complete security system with alarm, two-way alarm notification, a different frequency each time you use the remote, the ability to transmit up to a mile and through concrete walls (in case you need to start your car from another part of town), an LCD status display, a temperature sensor that

It brought out a major awareness to people who seem to forget lives matter, our children matter and we should slow down and be more cautious in life.
