BBBS annual banquet honours shining stars MARC BENOIT SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cornwall was back with all their shining stars for its annual awards banquet on Friday, September 24, 2021 at the Ramada Inn in Cornwall. Returning after their first ever hiatus due to COVID-19 in 2020, everyone involved was pleased to see each other again. The event honours volunteers, sponsors, community stakeholders, and of course, the Bigs of the Year and Littles of the year award recipients.

“Tonight’s always our big event, where we congratulate our big brother of the year, big sister of the year. We have sponsors, some businesses we like to recognize.

We’re a social agency, it’s just fun to get people out

together,” said executive director Ron Graham. The theme for the 2021 return of the banquet was Shining Stars, because all the volunteers, community supporters, bigs, and littles are the agencies ‘shining stars’, said Graham.

“Last year, everything was done virtual, so we’re glad we’re able to have limited seating,” added Graham.

This year the Big Brothers Big Sisters Cornwall chapter awarded MDP LLP its ‘Big Business’ award. Volunteer of the year went to D’Arcy Grant. The honoury Big Brother accolade was awarded to Robert Bedard.

This year’s big winners were Tayla Coleman and Tamara Delage for the Big and Little Sisters of the year, alongside Dante Lemoyre and Stephen Douris who were honoured to win the Big and Little Brothers of the year awards.

The long-haul COVID-19 experience NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – Ian St. John is what has come to be known as a COVID Long Hauler; people who continue to experience symptoms and other adverse health effects long after being first diagnosed with COVID-19.

For St. John, he has experienced ongoing problems with his blood pressure, blood sugar, balance, and breathing, all of which his doctors attribute to his COVID-19 diagnosis.

“I was a healthy guy, and I rode my bike a lot, but now I struggle to walk my dog to the end of the street,” he said.

St. John said that he made it through his COVID

experience thanks to the dedicated healthcare workers at the CCH and at the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU).

“I want to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at the Cornwall Community Hospital. They saved my life. I get emotional just thinking of everything they are doing.

They don’t stop. They are working all the time to make sure every patient is cared for and makes it through.

Thank you to the EOHU, especially two nurses Kim and Aleta who were so important in helping myself and my family through a very scary time,” he said.

He is now encouraging everyone to get vaccinated, wear a mask, and wash their hands.

“People might not believe me, but I got it and I almost died, but I got a second chance,” he said. “I was healthy before, but now it is a struggle.”

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The federal government has declared Thursday, Sept. 30 as the National Day of Tr uth and Reconciliation. The day is meant to be one to reflect on the history and experiences of Canada’s The orange flag representing Truth and Indigenous population, Reconciliation in front of the Justice including their experience Building in Cornwall. with the former residential (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News) school system.

While the provincial government of Ontario has decided not to recognize the day as a statutory holiday, many municipalities, including those in the Cornwall region, have taken it upon themselves to do so.

All municipalities in Seaway News’ readership area have chosen to recognize the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, including Cornwall, South Glengarry, and South Stormont. Municipal offices in those municipalities will be closed on Thursday, but some services, including garbage collection, will still be running.

On Tuesday, Sept. 28 the City of Cornwall raised the Orange Shirt Day banner at the Clocktower in Lamoureux Park in partnership with the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), as well as with representatives of the Indigenous community.

Cogeco has chosen to run three hours of programming on Thursday to honour the day, including documentaries produced by members of Canada’s Indigenous communities. The documentaries will be broadcast in a three-hour block from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will be re-broadcast again starting at 7 p.m.

The documentaries that will be broadcast are: Cultural Mindfulness - Directed

by George Couchie, We Are Still Here - Directed by Dwayne Cloes, and Wawahte: Residential School Survivors - Directed by John Sanfilippo.

Diversity Cornwall holds end of summer picnic CAROL GODDARD SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – Diversity/Diversite Cornwall held their annual summer ending in Lamoureux Park on September 25 to thank volunteers and supporters of the organization for their assistance. Founded in 2016, the non-profit organization seeks raise public awareness about the 2SLGTBQ+ community throughout Cornwall, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry and Akwesasne.

Rebecca Sorrell, events coordinator for the organization, explained 25 people had pre-registered for the event which was by Spinners in Cornwall. Each person would receive an individually wrapped meal which

had been pre-ordered. There were many activities for participants including games, enjoying music, story reading featuring books with 2SLGBTQ+ themes as well as time to enjoy visiting and the outdoors.

When asked to explain the services provided by Diversity/Diversite Cornwall, Sorrell commented the organization seeks to support members of the “trans and non-binary”community in a variety of ways such as helping to pay for legal name changes and gender affirming clothing. She expressed her thanks to the United Way for their support.

More information can be found either on their Facebook page or website located at www.diversitycornwall.ca.

Since 1933, the Cornwall Kinsmen Club has raised funds through a range of activities and invested these funds in order to meet the Community’s Greatest Needs. These needs change from year to year and thus we adjust the flow of funds accordingly. To assist us in our strategic process we have identified 7 broad categories: Relief of Pover ty; Advancement of Education; Culture and the Arts; Health and Welfare; Enhancement of Youth; Enhancement of Public Security and; Community Service.

Each year, a strategic planning process is undertaken to determine the levels of funding that would be allocated to each of these broad categories. All community applications received are reviewed by members of the Cornwall Kinsmen Club and charitable

donations are determined. Groups may still submit requests during the year for consideration – application form is available on our web site Today’s donation falls under the relief of poverty thrust of our strategy.

Today, we are happy to announce a $1,500 donation to the Royal Canadian Legion 297, part of which goes to this year’s “Poppy Campaign” One of the main focuses of the funds is to help with the welfare of Armed Forces members including rehabilitation courses and career advice for people who have left the service.

The Kinsmen Club wishes to thank all our community supporters that make these donations possible. TV Bingo players & merchants, participants at some of our events (Kinsmen Farmers Market, Pizza Party) and our other fundraising events.

A practical guide to downsizing

way to ensure that your move goes smoothly.

3. Decluttering and sorting belongings: This step can be trying, both on a practical level and on an emotional one. However, the simplest way to approach it is to deal with one room at a time.

Separate your belongings into five categories: keep, give away, donate, sell and throw out. To assess where a particular item should go, here are some helpful questions to ask: How necessary is it? How often is it used?

Will it fit in the new space? Does it have sentimental value? Does it have monetary value? Are there multiples?

Any move can be challenging, but downsizing in particular can be tricky. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the process.

1. Choosing a new home: The first thing to do when downsizing is to choose where you’ll live. This decision will help determine which belongings you should hold on to, and how many of them you can bring along.

Keep in mind that moving to a smaller house or a condo doesn’t come with the same limitations as moving in with family, an assisted living facility or retirement community. It’s therefore a good idea to weigh your options carefully. When choosing your next residence, consider your current needs and how they might change as you age. Open and honest communication between you and family members is the key to ensuring that you get the support you need and that your new accommodations meet your requirements.

2. Planning for the move: Start planning your move well before you put your house up for sale or give notice at your rental. Write out a detailed plan and make a list of the tasks that need to be completed. Assign those tasks to everyone involved in the move. If you need to hire professionals to assist you, be sure to do so ahead of time. Being organized is the best

Celebrating local hockey heroes NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH STORMONT, Ontario – South Stormont business owners and residents will be facing off against local firefighters and OPP officers at the Local Heroes Hockey Challenge at the Long Sault Arena on Saturday, Oct. 2 at 2 p.m.

The event is being organized by the South Stormont Fun Raisers. Tickets are $10 with proceeds going to support Carefor’s Meals Delivery Program service.

“For a lot of the players, it will be their first time on the ice in a year-and-a-half,” said event organizer Dave Smith.

Smith hopes to have close to 200 attendees for the event. Event goers will be required to show proof of vaccination. Those who do not require

proof of vaccination, such as young children, will be allowed to enter for free, as will first responders and healthcare workers.

“This is a chance for people to spread their wings a bit and do it in a safe manner,” Smith said.

Carefor will also be selling 50/50 raffle tickets at the event with half of the money raised going to one lucky winner and the rest going to support Meals Delivery Program.

“One cannot underestimate the value of Community Support Services particularly during this pandemic. What was affirmed is that services like our Meals Delivery Program, Friendly Visiting and Caregiver Support are a lifeline to many.

Services like these help people age well at home and in their community.” Dianne Kuipers Manager, Community Support Services Carefor.

GEMINI: You owe it to yourself to invest in some self-care. You’ll be applauded for one reason or another and put on a pedestal. You’ll have a lot to be proud of. As for matters of the heart, you need to be more consistent about turning passion into affection.

CANCER: Happiness is within you. When you find it, the joy will radiate from your heart throughout your home, to family and other loved ones. It’s sure to spread. Every day has its share of happy moments.

LEO: You’ll have a lot of running around to do, both for work and your personal life. You’ll have your concerns about social contact, but basic hygiene measures will help. In your love life, the words you use will be a reflection of your emotions.

VIRGO: You’ll double down on your efforts at work, which will allow you to generate some extra income. Your zeal will lead to a promotion from your boss. Additionally, remember to be generous in your love life and you’ll receive the same in return.

LIBRA: There’s a lot happening around you. Not only will you find yourself with a massive workload, but many activities will be ad­ded to your social calendar at the last mi­nute. You’ll find the right balance between leisure time and your responsibilities.

SCORPIO: This week, the atmosphere will be rather ambiguous. You might try to paddle against the current, but it’s best to just let it guide you to safety. Stress will force you to listen carefully to what your body tells you.

SAGITTARIUS: You could make a few new friends online or expand your network of contacts. It won’t always be easy to balance your work and family life with such a busy schedule. What you need is to better manage your time.

CAPRICORN: You’ll struggle to finish an overwhelming amount of work in multiple areas of your life. You’ll manage to complete everything on time though. A bit of fun will put a smile on your face; treat yourself to a co­medy show or something similar.

AQUARIUS: You’ll organize a lovely getaway at the last minute. You’ll be in the mood for a lear­ning experience, which will inspire you to pursue a new and exciting career. You’ll explore new horizons as you break out of your routine.

PISCES: Your soul is full of passion and dreams, and your ideas are beyond words. To make your desires a reality, you’ll need to be determined and bold. Don’t try to please everyone, but rather build your world as you envision it.

New addiction and mental health service prepares to open its doors NICK SEEBRUCH

@C:nseebruch@seawaynews.media

@R:CORNWALL, Ontario – A group of Cornwall residents is preparing to open a new service in the city to help those who are dealing with mental health and addiction issues.

Help Addiction and Mental Health Recovery Services (Help AMHRS) Cornwall, a newly incorporated federal nonprofit organization, hopes to soon have a 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. emergency phone line setup to help those struggling with their mental health or addictions.

Madison Bennett, a co-founder of Help AMHRS said that everyone who is involved with this new services has dealt with mental health or addiction issues themselves and know that night time can be the toughest time for those who are struggling.

“Our goal is to offer support to people who need it, unfortunately, so many people need help right now,” Bennett said.

A particular issue that this new service wants to address is the necessity for those in need to call multiple services, sometimes

multiple times, before they receive any help.

“It can be hard enough to make a call the first time let alone a second time or a third,” said Bennett.

In addition to the emergency phone service, the group also hopes to soon be able to open a crisis bed in the City of Cornwall where those experiencing withdrawal, drug addiction, or homelessness can stay while they are waiting to be connected to other services.

Help AMHRS has already made connections with location organizations like the Conrwall Police Service, The Canadian Mental Health Association, the Akwesasne Healing Centre, and the Children’s Aid Society, which supported the group with a donation of $25,000.

If Help AMHRS is successful in their current funding applications, they hope to be up and running by late December or early January 2022.

On Oct. 2, Help AMHRS will be participating in Cornwall’s Recovery Day in Lamoreux Park.

Over 20 booths will be setup in the park from all local organizations that are involved in supporting personal recovery.

CORNWALL & SD&G, Ontario – Artisans throughout the City of Cornwall, Akwesasne and the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry welcomed visitors to view their creations and discuss art while enjoying a beautiful fall weekend during the 30th anniversary of the Apple & Arts Studio Tour held the weekend of September 25, 26.

From the Priest’s Mill Art Centre and Thousand Angels Studio in North Glengarry to the Native North American Travelling College in Akwesasne and eastward from the Morrisburg area to South Lancaster eight historic and cultural sites, two members of the Eastern Ontario Agri-Food Network and 35 studios, some with more than one artist in residence, opened their doors to visitors.

At the corner of Pitt and First Streets, Yaffa Arts and Crafts was located in front of Tilly’s Eatery. Artist Yafa Goawily explained she is committed to making art accessible and affordable for people. She enjoys organizing events to bring people together through art and utilizes many different forms of art. In addition to body painting, Goawily utilizes mixed media with several items on display during the event. She explained the canvas is painted and once it is dry will add 3D features, as well she had on display on of her pieces where the frame became part of the work.

Just outside Tilly’s Eatery a beautiful painting was on display which was the prize in a draw according to Nicole Rose. Rose explained the tickets are $10.00 each or 3

for $25.00 with money being raised provided to the Akwesasne Boys and Girls Club. The draw is scheduled for September 30 and tickets are available at Rose Vacuum in Cornwall.

The Crayon Box Studio is located on County Road 20 in South Glengarry and was a stop on the Arts and Apple Tour this year. In addition to working in acrylic, watercolour, charcoal and pencil painting, owner Robin Patterson holds art classes for people 5 years and up throughout the year. The Crayon Box Studio also featured the work of Roxanne Rainville who works in digital art as well as teaching classes at the CBS. Both were pleased with the turnout at the weekend event.

Suzanne Boucher, Helen Carriere and Suzanne Lafleche were gathered together in a studio in the east end of Cornwall, providing a visual delight and insight into the world of the creative mind. Boucher is an accomplished artist working in acrylic and oils as well as creating stuffed animals, with Suzanne Lafleche working in textiles creating “pocket dolls – for children to carry in their pockets” and other fun items. Throughout the studio there were many examples of Carriers expertise in photographing different types of subjects. She commented how she enjoyed not only taking the photographs, but also editing, printing and framing her work.

Boucher perhaps summed it up best when she commented how the “people have been awesome and supportive” of the creative work displayed in her studio during the 2021 Apple & Art Studio Tour.

Nearly two years into the pandemic and the province and health units still did not seem to be prepared for kids returning to the classroom. Nearly every day since students returned to school the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) has sent out an email to media informing them of new cases at regional schools.

Most notable among these outbreaks of course was Viscount Alexander Public School, in the Riverdale area of Cornwall, which reported a new case of COVID-19 nearly every day for over a week. At one-point last week of the 67 active COVID-19 cases in Cornwall, 15 of them were either students or staff members of Viscount Alexander; that is nearly one-in-five and that doesn’t take into account the other cases at other Cornwall schools.

Last week CCVS, Bridgewood Public, St. Lawrence Secondary, and Eamer’s Corners Public School all reported new cases of COVID-19.

I don’t really blame the school boards for this mess. The school boards are just tasked to work with the directives they’ve been given by the province and use the resources that have been made available to them.

The province was not prepared for the return to school, and it shows. As of Monday, approximately one-in-four COVID-19 cases in Ontario were in schools.

Fortunately, children still are less susceptible to developing serious complications because of COVID-19, but there remains a risk factor in allowing the virus to continue to spread unchecked in schools.

First of all, just because children are more resilient to the disease, doesn’t mean that they can’t spread it to a member of a vulnerable population, like their grandparents, or maybe a parent, sibling or other relative with a compromised immune system.

Additionally, there represents the risk that they could help the virus mutate into a new form that is resistant to existing COVID-19 vaccines, thereby leaving us back at square one in the fight against the virus which is where we were 18 months ago.

The final frustrating factor to this story is related to COVID-19 testing. If a student at a school is exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms they must leave the school and they cannot return until they’ve received a negative COVID-19 test.

With how common regular colds are when kids return to school every September as you can imagine, COVID-19 tests are in high demand, a demand that the health unit seems unable to meet.

For the past few weeks I’ve been sent regular complaints from local residents who say they have been unable to get a COVID-19 test for themselves or their children.

Below is just one example of the frustration that has been sent to us by an anonymous reader: “Are you kidding me? Highest COVID numbers for SD&G are in Cornwall and yet the least testing time available. Sick Sunday? Cannot even make an appointment - no online booking options until 2pm Monday. So, you drive an hour to Hawkesbury if want to start the testing asap. And, you can book it for early Monday as - yes - they have online and phone options. This poor availability is why some ignore the “right thing to do” and assume they are COVID-free and start attending school or work,” reads a submission from a reader for Scuttlebutt that we received just this past Monday.

Cornwall is the largest population centre in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU), but the assessment centre here in town works limited hours. Since June 30 (the end of the last school year), the COVID-19 assessment centre in Cornwall has been open Monday and Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Cornwall COVID-19 assessment centre isn’t open eight hours a day and when it is open, that’s usually during school or working hours and it isn’t even open on weekends.

Akwesasne has a drive-thru testing operation that is by appointment only.

The other three testing centres in the EOHU are all at least one hour away from Cornwall in Hawkesbury, Rockland, and Winchester.

The EOHU reduced the hours of the Cornwall assessment centre after the last school year ended. That makes sense. We are now in the last week of September, COVID-19 cases are rising, kids are getting sick in school, and the EOHU still has not increased the hours or capacity of the Cornwall assessment centre.

Kids are back on the playground, but the ball was certainly dropped here.

Career opportunities abound Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

Let’s see what’s available to those redundant workers I mentioned last week. Those porters, navigators, flight engineers, proof readers and railroad caboose men need to be given new ways of earning a living.

Only teens or under are comfortable with computer technology. That’s where the navigators who are now walking the streets can find a work niche that fits their skill set. There are job openings for them as instructors in the use of computers.

Warning: do not let anyone who is a teen or less teach you how to use any computer-related device. Their fingers will fly over the keyboard, a mumbo-jumbo of words will assault your ears, with “There! That’s it. That’s how it’s done” as the finale. Unfortunately, you will be none the wiser. Your instructor must keep hands in pockets and allow your fingers to repeat the given operations as often as a black Lab likes to fetch a stick.

Our world has to become eco-friendly,

carbon neutral, green and sustainable. There is no means of recreation and travel that fits that bill better than a canoe. Unfortunately, 97.9 % of first attempts at self-taught canoeing end up with going around in circles, an unintended swim and the words, “#XX!** canoes are tippy!” We need experienced J-stroke instructors, folks who know how to pronounce gunwale, who can use the word butt without it being a four-letter word and can explain that a yoke is not a yolk.

There is nothing ornerier and demanding of TLC than a small engine, such as those found in chain saws, snow blowers, lawn mowers and wood splitters. Just about every three streets in suburbia needs a small-engine repair guy or gal.

Is there still a job for that little old lady proof reader I met in 1995? Just take out your copy of ACTIONlocal’s Alexandria & Area phone book. Open it to pages 30, 46, 68, 98, 102 or 125. My case rests.

Any of the above career suggestions are guaranteed to get you off UIC and gainfully employed until your CPP kicks in.

HIGH MAINTENANCE! – If it has only one spark plug, or a pull cord, or runs on a gas / oil mix, it provides endless employment for skilled mechanics.

OPINION

City has become a COVID hot spot Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

lecture on civic duty and how he was tired of people trying to skip jury duty.

It was 11:45, time for a 90-minute lunch break. When we assembled for the afternoon, the judge announced that everybody could go home. The accused had decided to plead guilty.

And they wonder why people try to avoid jury duty.

THIS AND THAT: Somebody pointed out that if Fox News and a couple of other ultra-right U.S. cable news outlets were around in the 1950s we would still be fighting polio. .... Coming soon: water meters and the threeminute teen-age shower. ... In the Trudeau world of big spending, the $650 million spent on an election is chump change. ... All three main party leaders have one more kick at the election can. If Trudeau loses, he is gone.

Ditto for Erin O’Toole and Jagmeet Singh both of whom did not meet party expectations.

THIS MONTH IN 1967: The new Regional School of Nursing opened with 91 students. The school replaced nursing schools at Cornwall General and Hotel Dieu hospitals. ... A 2,000pound safe was abandoned at the back door by thieves who broke into the IGA Supermarket on Pitt Street. Police figured the safe proved too heavy for the thieves. A year earlier a safe in the same store had been removed along with $3,000. Two men convicted in the heist received prison sentences. ... A provincial report on property taxes recommended that churches be taxed.

City Clerk-administrator Maurice Boyer said a tax on church property would add $120,000 to city coffers. ...

Simpson-Sears opened its new retail store at 333 Pitt St. .... A 25-day strike at C-I-L by 165 members of the United Mine Workers of America ended with a two-year contract that provided a 10% pay increase in the first year and an 8% hike in year two. The union had demanded a 45% increase in a oneyear contract. ... St. Lawrence College of Applied Ar ts and Technology launched its Cornwall campus with 147 students and 10 teachers. It was using temporary facilities at General Vanier Secondary School.

MORE FROM 1967: Ray Miron, general manager of Tulsa Oilers of the American Hockey League, said goalie Harold Murphy and right winger Jovan Marich, both former Royals, were being sent to Jacksonville of the Eastern Hockey League. He said Marich needed to work on his conditioning and skating. ... Canadians were going to have to reach for another penny to mail a firstclass letter. The post office announced that the cost of a stamp was increasing to six cents from five cents. ... Ken Payne of league champion Howard Smith Papermen was named Industrial Softball League most valuable player.

Ray Rose of Commonwealth claimed the batting title while Neil Gallinger of the Papermen was most valuable pitcher.

TRIVIA: The first restaurant opened on the property now occupied by East Side Mario’s (Brookdale Avenue) was: 1) Ponderosa, 2) Moviola’s, 3) Red Barn, 4) Nickle’s, 5) Burger King.

TRIVIA ANSWER: Ray Sheppard who starred for the Cornwall Royals – 198386 - had 20-goal plus.

Cornwall has become a COVID-19 red zone in the sprawling landscape covered by the Eastern Ontario Health Unit and at least one outbreak that closed down a school for several days was linked to an unvaccinated adult.

On Monday, Cornwall had 113 of the 193 active cases on the EOHU watch.

The population of Cornwall accounts for about 20% of the total EOHU population but about 60% of the active cases.

Throw in next door neighbours South Stormont (nine) and the northern part of Akwesasne (12), and the number of active cases grows to an alarming 134.

In late August the city had just three active cases. On September 2 the number grew to 19 cases.

At this writing, eight COVID-19 patients were being treated in hospital, four were listed as critical in the Intensive Care Unit. Health officials say the spike here and across the province are linked to unvaccinated persons.

So far this month, of the 365 cases reported, 158 involve persons under the age of 20. Only 18 cases were reported in the 65-plus age group. In July, only seven persons under the age of 20 contracted COVID-19, while just one was over 65.

Since January, COVID-19 has claimed 23 Cornwall residents. The death count in the EOHU region is 113.

The good news in all of this is that health officials feel the spread in

Cornwall and immediate area may slow in the next two weeks as more younger people become fully vaccinated.

The first dose vaccination rate among those under 20 has climbed to 79%, while the rate in the 60 and over age group is almost 100%.

The Ministry of Attorney General is on the hunt for prospective jurors. Perhaps you received a form to fill out. It will determine if you are qualified.

While COVID-19 vaccinations are not mandatory, filling out and submitting the prospective juror form is the law.

Several years ago an Ontario Superior Court Justice wondered aloud why so many citizens go out of their way to avoid jury duty?

Few years back I was summoned for jury duty.

The day started by joining 100 or so other people in one of the court rooms.

The summons said I was to be there for 9:30 a.m. So, I arrived at 9:15. The out-of-town judge finally made an appearance at 10:20 a.m. He droned on about what a wonderful contribution the “lucky” 12 would be making to the justice system.

Then it started. First order of business was to find out who felt they could not serve on the jury. One woman said her husband was a police officer.

Another person said they were schedule for surgery. Another said they didn’t like police officers. In the back row, a guy stood up and informed the judge that he was a good friend of the accused who glanced back with the look of who the hell is he?

It went on for another hour or so before the judge broke in with a stern

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Re: Arts Centre Dear Editor, The editorial of Sept 22, suggested that the proposed Arts and Culture Centre be at Aultsville Hall. This solution is flawed.

In 2012, Culturescape indicated that Cornwall needed an arts focal point. Cornwall had well-established sports venues: arenas, parks and pools … but there was nowhere for the arts. The Civic Complex hosts large audience events, Aultsville Hall can seat 600+, but the city had no easily-accessible, smaller arts venue to host events and programs.

A venue was needed: not a facility doing double duty - there is little sense in having an art display on the walls of a basketball court or an event being rehearsed during a pickleball game.

The purchase of the Bank of Montreal building at 159 Pitt St, met several needs. The city wanted to strengthen our community through a balance of quality of life and opportunity.

Cornwall had spread out its facilities and worked to meet varied needs. The purpose was not only economy but also economics.

The location of the BMO site enhances the

Dealing with ash trees revitalization of downtown: downtown businesses are positive about a nearby arts centre: parking areas and the library are close, and public transit converges at Pitt and Second, allowing easy access from all parts of town.

The editor should examine the subsidies that the city makes to sports facilities before challenging the small subsidy for the arts centre. To date, the community fundraising committee has raised $1,051,019.89, proof of community support: not all are able to enjoy sports facilities, but still pay taxes so that these facilities can thrive - they can now feel that their tax money is serving them through the arts.

City officials foresee Cornwall as a full-service, broadminded city meeting the needs and interests of its population. The arts are at the heart of the matter and, at 159 Pitt St, they will be at the heart of the city.

Katherine Burke, on behalf of the Arts and Culture Centre Community Fundraising Committee

Dear Editor, If you are a homeowner in Cornwall and area with at least one ash tree on your property you are likely facing a major expense!!

Unless you have had your trees professionally treated with treeazin or your tree(s) are on city property, it is almost 100% certain your tree(s) are dead, thanks to a little green bug called the emerald ash borer!!

This insect has been killing ash trees in our area for almost 10 years.

Ash borers attack the sapwood just under the bark of the tree. As a result water and nutrients are prevented from reaching the crown of your tree. If you notice that the top of your tree has very few leaves, it is already seriously infected.

Unfortunately an infected ash tree does not die normally like a maple or oak.

An ash tree, very quickly becomes unstable. The branches become dried out

and brittle. An infected ash tree is not only unstable but it is dangerous and unpredictable. All or parts (limbs) of the ash tree can fall at any time with the resultant damage to a person, a building or perhaps a car.

Insurance companies won’t pay a claim if your tree falls because you were negligent and didn’t get it removed.

If your tree is in the back yard and is inaccessible to a lift or bucket an arborist may refuse to climb your tree due to its instability. If this is your case act quickly.

If you do have ash trees on your property please don’t wait until it is too late, call a tree removal company or companies today and get quotes for removal.

A dead ash tree is an accident waiting to happen. Unfortunately you can see lots of dead ones around town.

Yours sincerely, John M. Irvine Cornwall, Ontario

Ontario Human Rights Commission weighs in on vaccine mandates and proof of vaccination

10 - Wednesday, September 29, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

ONTARIO – The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) released a ruling on Wednesday, Sept. 22 stating that those who choose not to get the vaccine based on personal preference do not have the right to accommodation under the Human Rights Code (Code).

“Receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is voluntary.

At the same time, the OHRC’s position is that a person who chooses not to be vaccinated

based on personal preference does not have the right to accommodation under the Code.

The OHRC is not aware of any tribunal or court decision that found a singular belief against vaccinations or masks amounted to a creed within the meaning of the Code,” reads a statement from the OHRC. “Even if a person could show they were denied a service or employment because of a creed-based belief against vaccinations, the duty to accommodate does not necessarily require they be exempted from vaccine

mandates, certification or COVID testing requirements. The duty to accommodate can be limited if it would significantly compromise health and safety amounting to undue hardship – such as during a pandemic,” the OHRC statement goes on to read.

The OHRC ruling states that mandating vaccination or requiring proof of vaccination is generally permissible, as long as accommodations are made for those who cannot receive the vaccine for medical reasons.

OHRC did say that as a part of an

organizations duty to accommodate those who cannot be vaccinated, they should cover the costs of COVID-19 testing as required.

The OHRC also called on the province to ensure that proof of vaccination requirements and vaccination mandates not remain in place for longer than is deemed necessary and that the current state of the pandemic should be reviewed regularly. Furthermore, they say that the province must ensure there are safeguards to protect the privacy of individuals.

Proof of vaccination required to use Cornwall facilities

SOON!

NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall stated on Tuesday, Sept. 21 that proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be a requirement for the public to use certain facilities.

Proof of vaccination is required to access the Aquatic Centre, Benson Centre, or Civic Complex, and this includes members of committees or other groups who may meet at any of these facilities.

“Staff will be enforcing this mandate in our recreation facilities,” said Mayor Glen Grant.

“We know there will be people who don’t agree with this approach. Please remember: City staff must be treated with respect. Abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.”

The province of Ontario announced that proof of vaccination will be required in some settings as of Wednesday, Sept. 22. For the time being, the receipt that individuals received after getting their second COVID-19 shot will suffice as proof of vaccination. By Oct. 22, the province hopes to have developed an electronic ticket that people can have on their phones that can easily be scanned to show proof of vaccination.

Mayor Glen Grant has previously stated that the City of Cornwall would not implement a general mandatory vaccination policy for its employees without direction from the province first.

Annonce de la création de l’ESO du Haut-Canada, Cornwall et la region COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE L’HCC CORNWALL, Ontario - En partenariat avec Santé Ontario, le gouvernement de l’Ontario a récemment annoncé la création de huit nouvelles équipes Santé Ontario (ESO) dans toute la province, y compris celle du Haut-Canada, Cornwall et la région, qui dessert les Comtés unis de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry, la ville de Cornwall, Akwesasne, certaines parties du canton de Russell ainsi que le Sud-Est rural d’Ottawa.

Les ESO fournissent des soins mieux intégrés en éliminant les obstacles pouvant exister entre les fournisseurs de soins de santé et les secteurs géographiques. Elles regroupent divers services de santé, y compris les suivants : médecins et infirmières praticiennes, hôpitaux, soins à domicile et communautaires, services de soutien communautaire, services de santé mentale et de lutte contre les dépendances, centres de santé communautaire et soins de longue durée. À terme, on veut que les gens du secteur

passent plus facilement d’un fournisseur de soins à un autre, par exemple de l’hôpital aux fournisseurs de soins à domicile ou aux foyers de soins de longue durée, avec un historique des antécédents, un dossier de patient et un plan de soins. « À l’avenir, les résidentes et les résidents de notre communauté auront plus facilement accès aux bons services grâce à un système de soins de santé nouvellement interrelié et intégré, dit la coprésidente de l’ESO du Haut-Canada, de Cornwall et la région, Christine Penney. Ce travail est également axé sur l’amélioration de la situation pour nos fournisseuses et fournisseurs de soins de santé, que les questions d’ordre systémique peuvent aussi stresser lorsqu’ils essaient de donner les meilleurs soins possible aux gens. Au bout du compte, l’objectif, c’est d’améliorer l’expérience de tout le monde par rapport aux soins de santé. » Également coprésidente de l’ESO du HautCanada, de Cornwall et la région, Tracy Crowder ajoute que « cette nouvelle façon de collaborer

Tracy Crowder et Christine Penney. à l’établissement d’un système de soins de santé interrelié rehaussera l’expérience des gens dans notre région relativement aux soins de santé et communautaires. Cela correspondra aussi aux pratiques, aux principes et aux

valeurs d’importance pour les gens que nous servons. » L’ESO du Haut-Canada, de Cornwall et la région regroupe actuellement 33 organismes partenaires locaux.

La CNS reconnaît l’importance de la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS FINCH, Ontario - Le 30 septembre 2021 marquera la première Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation, une journée importante pour nos partenaires autochtones, à l’échelle locale et nationale. Il s’agit également d’une journée de réflexion, afin que les gens puissent reconnaître l’héritage néfaste du système des pensionnats indiens au Canada et avancer collectivement sur la voie de la guérison.

En tant qu’organisme voué à la santé et à la protection des ressources en terre et en eau, la Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) respecte et apprécie profondément l’histoire et les connaissances de ses partenaires des Premières Nations. En travaillant ensemble, nous avons entrepris de nombreux projets fructueux qui n’auraient pas été possibles sans nos partenaires et le savoir traditionnel qu’ils ont partagé.

Parmi les tout premiers projets de nos partenaires figuraient un projet de gestion du frêne

noir et un projet sur les plantes médicinales.

Pendant cette période, un groupe de travail a été formé pour assurer une collaboration étroite avec des partenaires sur le terrain dans les territoires partagés. Le Groupe de travail des Premières Nations de l’Est de l’Ontario, un groupe apolitique, travaille maintenant ensemble pour unir ses efforts sur des questions qui nous concernent tous, notamment la gestion durable des forêts publiques et des terres gérées en communauté. Au fil des ans, le groupe a fait le suivi des espèces en péril, des espèces envahissantes, de la biodiversité et des compensations pour la biodiversité, a réalisé des projets de restauration et a offert des conseils.

Plus récemment, à la suite d’un engagement

pris lors du Sommet sur le changement climatique de 2019 organisé par l’Assemblée des Premières Nations à Whitehorse, au Yukon, le groupe de travail, dans le cadre d’un partenariat de collaboration, travaille depuis 2020 à la création du Lieu de guérison, un espace vert communautaire situé sur les territoires traditionnels des nations algonquine et mohawk dans l’Est de l’Ontario. Plus de 250 arbres, arbustes et autres espèces d’importance culturelle ont été plantés en septembre dernier lors de la Journée nationale de l’arbre.

Plus qu’un site ou un événement de plantation, le Lieu de guérison représente une étape importante dans le cheminement vers la réconciliation. Il est centré sur la création et le maintien d’un espace physique rassurant propice à

la guérison pour aider à restaurer la terre, la langue et les relations avec les membres de la communauté d’origine autochtone et non autochtone.

Le Lieu de guérison est un site de 89 acres situé sur la propriété de la CNS à Shanly, en Ontario. Il abrite plusieurs espèces des prairies en péril, notamment le goglu, la sturnelle des prés et le damier de Gorgone, un papillon d’importance locale.

Le 14 octobre 2021, les partenaires du Lieu de guérison se réuniront pour planter des arbres et des plantes d’importance culturelle, créer un jardin pour enfants et partager des histoires pour célébrer la culture des Premières Nations.

L’événement, intitulé « En souvenir des enfants », comprendra une cérémonie d’ouverture avec des orateurs invités. En raison de la COVID-19, le nombre de participants est limité et la préinscription est obligatoire. Une partie de l’événement sera diffusée en direct sur la page Facebook de la CNS.

Projet de prés de la CNS visant à améliorer et à restaurer un habitat de première qualité d’espèces en péril COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE DE LA CNS FINCH, Ontario - La Conservation de la Nation Sud (CNS) entreprend un projet quinquennal d’amélioration de l’habitat des oiseaux de prés et de rajeunissement des champs de foin dans le canton d’Edwardsburgh Cardinal. Le projet vise à favoriser le rétablissement du goglu et de la sturnelle des prés dans l’Est de l’Ontario, deux oiseaux qui sont des espèces en péril en Ontario. « La CNS possède une expérience considérable et réussie dans la conduite de projets agricoles », a expliqué Michelle Cavanagh, Chef d’équipe, Intendance, de la CNS. « Le personnel a aidé à créer plus de 150 acres de prés dans l’Est de l’Ontario depuis 2015, dans le but général d’augmenter l’habitat du goglu et de la sturnelle des prés parmi les habitats d’autres

espèces sauvages de prés. » La CNS a reçu un financement de 17 800 $ pour ce projet de Grasslands Ontario, une division de Forests Ontario (un organisme sans but lucratif), qui sensibilise et soutient la création, l’amélioration et le maintien de l’habitat de prés La CNS étudiera la propriété, créera un plan de gestion pour l’amélioration de l’habitat en ce qui concerne les oiseaux de prés, établira un calendrier de récolte du foin favorable aux oiseaux de prés et un contrat avec un partenaire agricole local, et mettra en œuvre une gestion sur le terrain pour améliorer l’efficacité globale des habitats ainsi que la productivité du champ de foin.

Les améliorations seront réalisées sur une propriété de la CNS acquise en 2019 par le biais du Programme des dons écologiques du Canada,

dans le cadre de la stratégie de sécurisation des terres de la CNS. La propriété contient quatre champs distincts sur lesquels des observations bien documentées de nombreux goglus et sturnelles des prés ont été faites.

Les travaux sur le terrain permettront d’ajouter des éléments nutritifs et des engrais aux terrains, de sursemer des espèces fourragères de foin et d’éliminer les espèces envahissantes au besoin. Un financement supplémentaire de la CNS sera utilisé pour ajouter des arbustes fruitiers aux haies favorables aux oiseaux dans les zones où les frênes et les espèces envahissantes ont été enlevés. Cette amélioration augmentera la complexité de l’habitat et la valeur de l’ensemble du site pour les oiseaux et la faune. « Après avoir terminé les activités de gestion en 2021, la CNS continuera à surveiller le site

pendant la saison de reproduction jusqu’à la fin du projet en 2025. Des relevés des oiseaux nicheurs seront effectués chaque printemps afin de documenter l’utilisation du site par les espèces d’oiseaux de prés », a précisé Mme Cavanagh, ajoutant que des relevés de la végétation auront lieu en 2022 et 2025 afin de documenter le succès ou l’échec de tout sursemis éventuel et de toute modification des éléments nutritifs.

La CNS offre une expertise et une expérience en gestion et en planification des ressources naturelles pour aider ses partenaires à contribuer à la santé de la région. Ces contributions comprennent les forêts, les zones humides, les prés, la faune, la pêche, les arbres urbains, les plaines inondables, les risques naturels et la gestion de l’eau.

Cornwall Council passes water meter implementation strategy in close vote NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council met on Tuesday, Sept. 21, to receive an update on a proposal from city administration to install water meters for all users in Cornwall. In a close vote of five-to-four, Council passed a measure that would begin

the process to add water meters to all homes and businesses.

A presentation made to Council by consulting firm Watson & Associates outlined the advantages of a water meter system.

Main advantages in the presentation included users only paying for what they use, as well as encouraging water

conservation, and purportedly, lower water bills for most residential users in the long term.

Watson & Associates gave the example of how a user who consumes 700 cubic meters of water would pay $4,770 less than under the current system.

Once all water meters are installed, the

Elle a été la compagne de vie de Charlemagne Lamarche (décédé en 1999) pendant plus de 48 ans, et laisse dans le deuil ses cinq enfants: Thérèse (Michel), Charles (Robine), Louise (Bernard), Paul (Pam) et Guy (Judy); ses 11 petits-enfants et 3 arrière petits-enfants; ainsi que son frère Eugène (Pat), de nombreux neveux et nièces, ses amies et partenaires de cartes.

Notre mère Noëlla nous a communiqué une immense joie de vivre et son âme va continuer d’être présente dans nos vies.

City will change the funding model for Cornwall’s water and waste water system.

Under the new system that was passed on Tuesday, when implemented, a residential home will have a base charge to pay every month, as well as a per-cubic meter charge based on amount of water consumed, and finally, an annual charge for seven years to cover the cost of the water meter. For multi-residential units, property owners would be charged three-quarters of the base charge per-unit in addition to the water consumption charge an the annual charge for the meter.

Administration also pointed out, that besides Timmins, ON, Cornwall was the only municipality of its size to not use water meters.

Paying for this new system was a concern raised by Councillor Claude McIntosh, who said that the city would borrow money to pay for the installation of the new system at a cost of $21 million.

In their presentation, Watson & Associates claimed that the cost of installation would be offset by the City reducing its usage of water, and also being better able to identify leaks in the system thanks to the meters.

According to Watson & Associates, the City would save $300,000 per year by using less water, and $70,000 per year by being able to identify leaks more quickly.

“I don’t trust the consultant’s numbers,” McIntosh said, who pointed out that with the money being borrowed, the City would be dependent on interest rates remaining low. “I compare that to economists who try to predict what will happen 10 years into the future.”

McIntosh pointed out that the tax increase that was passed with the most recent municipal budget saw most of the increase go towards servicing municipal debt.

He was also unconvinced that any municipality that has water meters actually saw a drop in water usage, and that if they did, they would have seen a loss in revenue.

“Selling water is one of the only things that the city does that makes money,” he said. “I thought the presentation was very slanted towards meters.”

Mayor Glen Grant, who voted in favour of introducing a water meter system, said that this was a logical step for the municipality.

“Hopefully in the long run we can eventually save some money on this,” he said.

“Besides that, you have an environmental responsibility.”

Grant also pointed out that this was about fairness, and that some residential users, who do not use a lot of water, are subsidizing other users who do as they both pay the same rate under the current system.

“A lot of people who come into our community feel that the billing system doesn’t make sense,” he said.

In addition to Mayor Grant, councillors Elaine MacDonald, Carilyne Hébert, Justin Towndale, and Dean Hollingsworth voted in favour of introducing water meters and councillors Claude McIntosh, Denis Carr, Syd Gardiner, and Eric Bergeron voted against. Councillors Todd Bennett and Maurice Dupelle were not present for Tuesday’s meeting.

Out for an Afternoon Drive CAROL GODDARD SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – On Saturday, Sept.

25, members of the Road Warriors Car Club organized a drive thru show in front of McConnell Manor along with other car aficionados from the area.

Bernie Martel, a member of the Cornwall Old Car Club (COCC) mentioned how this event was designed to provide some enjoyment for the seniors living at CMRR. Martel explained a vehicle is considered a classic after 25 years, while a vintage vehicle is usually 50 years or older. He expected many memories will be recalled for many people watching the convoy pass by on its way to the retirement residence and for residents there.

When asked how many people were participating, Road Warriors Car Club President Chris Sauve commented how the invitation is extended and people arrive with their cars, but he estimated there would be between 20 and 30 cars in the event. Sauve mentioned some of the owners will be stopping for a time in the parking lot of the CMRR to allow residents to come out and see the cars close-up.

Nikita Harvey, VP of the Road Warriors Car Club, was looking forward to driving her Doge Charger Hell-Cat in the convey, mentioning how it was “Awesome” to be participating and continued how her car is programmed to “meow” something she is sure the seniors will enjoy.

Cornwall emergency responders take part in train derailment exercise CONNOR MCLAUGHLIN SPECIAL TO SEAWAY NEWS CORNWALL, Ontario – First emergency train derailment exercise in close to ten years.

A unique training exercise was held Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021, where our Cornwall Fire Station (CFS), got the chance to practice with the Canadian National Railway’s (CN) Dangerous Goods Team, for what to do during a train derailment. They are holding this type of training for the first time in close to ten years.

In a conversation with Seaway News, Deputy Fire Chief Matthew Stephenson explained the situation regarding this rare and important training exercise.

“This exercise today, is an opportunity to say, we are going through a number of scenarios, essentially a mock derailment in the city, and how do we handle that. Right from arriving on scene, identifying the goods that are there,

evacuation distances that are necessary depending on what the goods are, and then walking through that process,” said Stephenson.

He commented that Transport Canada partnered with TRIOX and CN, to give fire departments the chance to practice for a train derailment, selecting CFS as one of the five stations given this opportunity per year.

Around 20 of CFS staff members got to participate in this training exercise, including the platoon that was on staff Wednesday, the senior staff, and dispatchers.

“For us, it is not something that is annually done,” said Stephenson. “It is something we would like to have annually done, but we are just very appreciative of CN, Transport Canada, TRIOX, and all of the agencies involved today,” Stephenson talked about how this mock derailment exercise has been in the works for months and is designed to give emergency services a chance to gain experience, in case

“We don’t have access to CN’s everyday operations, so to have them to come to us and say, we’re willing to give you our expertise and plan this, we’re like, we are in,” he said.

They received a certificate of recognition for their efforts in helping paramedics and their families stay healthy.

• Are you kidding me? Highest Covid numbers for SD&G are in Cornwall and yet the least testing time available. Sick Sunday? Cannot even make an applointment (yep - no on line booking options! even!!) until 2pm Monday. So.. you drive an hour to Hawkesbury if want to start the testing asap.. And, you can book it for early Monday as - yes - they have online and phone options. This poor availability is why some ignore the: “right thing to do” and assume they are covid-free and start attending school or work.

• I want to thank the very kind gentleman who paid for my grocery order at FoodBasics on Second St. on Wednesday, September 22. So very appreciated and will not be soon forgotten.

Will follow-up with my own act of kindness. Thank you.

• Thank you to Roys service manager Alex Labonte for offering to send a technician to our home to help with our problem. And even a bigger THANKS to technician Cory for going out of his way after work.

• You don’t need to spend $17 or even $15 million to have a program to subsidize low-flush toilets. You can do that all your own and not need to spend $17 million. It is a red herring to discuss those two things in the same paragraph.

South Stormont 2020 winners At the September 22, 2021 Regular Council Meeting, the Township of South Stormont announced the 2020 winners of the Fran Laflamme Volunteer of the Year Award and the South Stormont Youth Volunteer of the Year to Mr. Marland E. Maloney and Ms. Lindsay Winters, respectively.

Traditionally, the Volunteer of the Year and the Youth Volunteer of the Year are celebrated alongside over 100 fellow leaders of the volunteer community during the Annual Volunteer Appreciation Gala. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and gathering restrictions, these celebrations have been put on hold.

“We may not be able to celebrate our volunteers the way we’d like to at the Gala,” says Mayor Bryan McGillis, “but despite the pandemic, we still have some incredible people in South Stormont that continue to donate their time and effort to improve our community. It is extremely important to take these opportunities to acknowledge our volunteers, and Mr. Maloney and Ms. Winters are two excellent choices to be honored for their service.”

Both Marland Maloney and Lindsay Winters were presented with awards from the Township of South Stormont, as well as recognition from both the Province of Ontario and the Federal Government of Canada.

2020 South Stormont Youth Volunteer of the Year: Lindsay Winters exemplifies the true meaning of community involvement. From a young age she has show compassion and willingness to support other around her, twice she has donated her hair for cancer patients, raised donations on

her birthday towards fundraising efforts at the local OSPCA, and has often been seen picking up loose garbage along the side of her road. As Lindsay matured she continued to look for volunteer opportunities all over the community. Her efforts included assisting with the Rothwell Osnabruck Annual Craft Sale, Medieval Times at Upper Canada Village, the Bob Thompson summer basketball camps, coaching for the south Stormont minor soccer program, assisting with work at the Ingleside Library, programs at the Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary, and volunteering for community events such as the Ingleside Firefighters Challenge. Lindsay is a high school graduate at St. Joseph Secondary School where she continually assisted teachers with after school activities and was thrilled to be selected as part of a team that travelled to Guatemala for mission work, this team helped build a new road for a impoverished community.

Today, Lindsay attends Carleton University in the bachelor of Global and International Studies program, and hopes to one day work for the United Nations.

2020 Fran Laflamme South Stormont Volunteer of the Year: Marland E. Maloney was born and raised in South Stormont and his “jack of all trades” character has lead to many contributions that have added to the cultural fabric of this Township. In his teenage years, Marland suffered a near fatal logging accident in which the community helped support his recovery through fundraisers, his appreciation for these efforts had a lasting impact, and he has continued to pay this volunteerism forward for nearly six decades. His passion for snowmobiling lead to assisting with the creation of the Seaway

Valley Snowmobiling Club where he was a member for over 25 years. He negotiated agreements with landowners, promoted safety for all members, and work to fundraise for Easter Seal Campaigns. While still heavily involved with snowmobiling, he recognized an opportunity to expand on his community involvement and joined the Cornwall Township Lions Club where he continues to serve as a member today. Marland has had many roles and responsibilities within the executive membership of the club, he has been

instrumental in kitchen and bar duties, canteen operations, maintenance of the club, hall rentals for local functions, breakfast fundraisers, etc.

The Club continues to organize and host numerous community events within the Township which help support the community at large, including fundraising campaigns for local youth initiatives, the Long Sault Arena, Boy Scouts, Cornwall Hospice, local hospitals, and the Canadian Cancer Society.
