ACCFutures sees opportunities for local businesses at close of 2021 NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Akwesasne, Cornwall, and the Counties (ACCFutures) Development Corporation, formerly Cornwall and the Counties Community Futures Development Corporation, is wrapping up 2021 by addressing a range of issues affecting local businesses and moving forward on a major local project.

ACCFutures has been contracted by the City of Cornwall and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) to develop the Port Lands Project. Formerly Cornwall Harbour, the Port Lands were purchased jointly by the City of Cornwall and the MCA with the aim of developing a space for both communities.

ACCFutures recently completed a survey of community members asking what their vision was for the space.

The approximately 1,200 respondents were a good mix from both the Cornwall and Akwesasne communities and the resounding message that they gave was that they want to see the Port Lands as a vibrant waterfront space accessible to all, with no industrial development, and access for coastal fishing.

CCH Awarded for Championing Organ and Tissue Donation November 23, 2021 – Cornwall Community Hospital (CCH) was recognized by Ontario Health (Trillium Gift of Life Network) for its outstanding efforts to integrate organ and tissue donation into quality end-of-life care in 2020/21.

CCH was presented with the Eligible Approach Rate Award for meeting or exceeding the eligible approach rate target of 90% set by Ontario Health (Trillium Gift of Life Network). This eligible approach rate award recognizes hospitals for demonstrating leading practices by facilitating a donation discussion with eligible patients/families of patients at end of life.

Jeanette Despatie, President and Chief Executive Officer of CCH, accepted the award on behalf of the hospital at a virtual awards ceremony hosted by Ontario Health (Trillium Gift of Life Network) on November 23, 2021.

“We recognize organ donation is an act of great kindness that can save and improve the lives of many people; that’s why CCH continues to be a partner with TGLN in the process of organ donation, and makes every effort possible to ensure opportunities are offered to potential organ donation candidates. We thank all organ and tissue donors at CCH and their families who supported the decision to donate,” says Despatie.

“CCH has made an outstanding contribution to organ and tissue donation in Ontario and this award is a reflection of that important work,” says Judy Linton, Chief Nursing Executive & Clinical Institutes and Quality Programs Executive. Ontario Health.

“The collaboration and partnership Ontario Health (TGLN) has with our hospitals is critical to saving lives and we are so appreciative of their ongoing commitment. Every Ontarian has the opportunity to demonstrate their support for this life-saving work by registering their consent to donate organs and tissue at BeADonor.ca.”

Today, more than 1,500 people are on the waitlist for a lifesaving organ transplant, and every three days someone will die waiting.

One donor can save up to 8 lives through organ donation and enhance the lives of up to 75 more through the gift of tissue. By registering consent to donate, you make your family aware of your decision to save lives.

With a registration rate of 41 per cent, the City of Cornwall exceeds the provincial average of 35 per cent and ranks 125 out of 170 communities in Ontario. Visit https:// beadonor.ca/community/cornwall to register or find out more.

Ghost Walk for charity raises $30K PROVIDED BY THE GHOST WALK FOR CHARITY CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall’s Ghost Walk for Charity raises $30,000 for five local charities this year. The event took place at the Cornwall Square upstairs on the second level.

Throughout the week in October more than 4000 people came through and braved the spooky walk organizers put together in the spirit of Halloween. Many people travelled from out of town to attend this growing event.

As we reflect back on the success of our 2021 events, we would like to thank our supporters, sponsors and volunteers, for making 2021 our most successful year to date.

Due to your unwavering support, we were able to raise a whopping $30,000, which will be distributed evenly amongst the selected

charities: Habitat for Humanity / Agape Centre: $10,000 Koala Place / Victim Services: $10,000 The Children’s Treatment Centre: $10,000 Year over year, we continue to grow, which ultimately translates to more monetary support for local, not-for-profit organizations within our community.

Our partnerships with sponsors and volunteers are vital to the success of our events, and we are truly humbled by your continued support.

We look forward to another successful season in 2022.

MCA hires new Director of Health PROVIDED BY THE MCA

The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne would like to welcome Amber Montour as the new Director of Health.

The Department of Health includes the Community Health Program (Diabetes Services, Healthy Babies, etc.), the Wholistic Health Program (medical clinics, addiction services, traditional medicine, mental health), Non-Insured Health Benefits, Home Care/ Home Support and two long-term care facilities.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Health has been vital in providing services, support and information to the community. The new director will be

responsible for ensuring the continuation of these services as well as implementing improvements and processes that will provide enhanced services to the community.

“We wish to welcome Ms. Montour into the position and wish her success in this important endeavor,” said Grand Chief Abram Benedict. “We are confident that Ms. Montour’s experience in the Department of Health will serve the community well and we appreciate her willingness to take on the responsibility.”

Ms. Montour was most recently the MCA Department of Health’s Wholistic Health & Wellness program manager where she was responsible for securing medical clinic

doctors, nurses, mental health and additions counselors and traditional medicine staff.

She is a Certified First Nations Health Manager, with a Bachelor’s degree in International Studies.

“I acknowledge that this past year has been a hardship and extend appreciation for our essential workers and their families,” Ms. Montour said. “I send my condolences to those who have lost loved ones and would like to offer our support for healing & safe spaces for dialogue.

“The Department of Health provides community-lead services from first steps to end of life, with access to culturally competent and trauma-informed care. I work alongside

an exemplary team of professionals that dedicate their time and skills to the creation of spaces specific to good health.

“Health and wellness in Akwesasne is our inherent responsibility and right. I love our community and I am excited to amplify our collective voices to create change together.”

Advent Week One

3 purple and 1 pink candle, another white candle is placed inside the wreath and is lit Christmas Eve. A little history: evergreens sprout up everywhere it seems at Christmas time; with laurel representing victory over persecution and suffering. Pine and yew represent immortality, cedar stands for strength and healing, and holly with it’s prickliness, reminds us of the crown of thorns that Jesus would eventually wear on the cross. One or more of these can be so meaningful in either a wreath, garland and of course a Christmas tree in your home. Christmas trees, pine, spruce or fir, are attribute to St. Boniface, a missionary in Germany.

These four weeks leading to Christmas day are a time for preparing, not just presents and the family meals, but of our hearts to make sure there is room for the things that matter the most. In the Bible book of Luke, we read of an angelic announcement; “I bring you good news of great joy! Today, in the town of David, a Saviour has been born. He is Christ, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

About 2000 years ago in Bethlehem in Judea, the world received a very important gift. Jesus arrived and became God-Incarnate (in the flesh!). And therefore, we still celebrate so much at Christmas time, or “Christ’s Festival”. And for centuries Christians around the world have enjoyed a four-week preparatory season called Advent.

Advent comes from the Latin adventus and simply means ‘coming.’ The main event here is the birth of the Saviour, recognized on December 25. This is not at all likely the actual date (we don’t really know Jesus birthdate) but December 25 has become a good time to celebrate. Kind of like how we celebrate the birthday of our current regent HRH Queen Elizabeth II on May 24th each year, even though that’s not her actual birthday. To mark our preparation and progress through the four Sundays leading to Christmas, we use the Advent wreath with purple and pink candles. This wreath was attributed to Martin Luther (1483-1546). They are designed with evergreen branches in a circle, representing the promise of never ending or eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. In addition to the

The provincial race opens up NICK SEEBRUCH

8 - Wednesday, December 1, 2021

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

One thing that you can definitely say about 2021, is that it sure hasn’t been boring as far as politics goes in Cornwall and SD&G. Whether it is politicians mired in controversy, or appointments to the Senate of Canada, there has been plenty to upset the local political applecart.

One such bump in the road came last Tuesday, when long-time StormontDundas-South Glengarr y MPP Jim McDonell announced his pending retirement.

With a summer provincial election looming on the horizon, McDonell decided now was the time to pull down the curtain on his 10-year-old provincial political career.

Like other changes to the political landscape that occurred over this past year, this one was a bit of a surprise.

Not as much of a surprise as former Cornwall Mayor Bernadette Clement being appointed to the Senate, but a bit of a surprise, nonetheless.

I had it on no better authority than the MPP’s own office that he had been nominated by the local Conservative Riding association to run as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the 2022 election, but I guess Jim thought it was time to hang it up.

McDonell bowing out of the political scene just before the election really opens up opportunities for a new candidate to make a name for themselves.

Even without McDonell as their candidate and even with the struggles the Progressive Conservatives are having

in their polling numbers at a provincial level, I think that the riding of StormontDundas-South Glengarry is still securely blue.

The NDP and the Ontario Liberals can still make a go of it in the election, and they have a better opportunity now without McDonell in the race, but it will still be an uphill battle for them.

A challenge for any party running in this riding is their need to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry is a big and diverse place, and any candidate who is going to be successful needs to have name recognition in Cornwall, the largest population centre in the riding, and in the United Counties of SD&G, which has a large population of its own, but is much more spread out.

The riding has been leaning Conservative for the past 15 years at least, so McDonell always had that going for him, and he was a fixture in municipal politics long before he even ran for provincial office.

McDonell was Mayor of South Glengarry three times between 2003 and 2011. His time there also saw him serve as United Counties Warden at least once, giving him that important name recognition in the rural areas of the riding. Being from South Glengarry, right next to Cornwall, and being on United Counties Council (which sits in Cornwall) made him a familiar face in the city too.

Any party will be hard pressed to find a candidate who has that combination of name recognition and political experience.

Whichever candidate wins the next

election in this riding will have plenty on their plate on day one, regardless of which party they are a member of.

Education, healthcare, and infrastructure are all topics that the new MPP will have to shoulder in Queen’s Park.

For education, issues such as bell times, classroom sizes, and service delivery are all things that a new MPP will need to be aware of. Just recently, the United Counties of SD&G released a critical report on the delivery of rural education in the riding that detailed the competition between four regional school boards for the same pool of students, inconsistent delivery of programs, and administrators who view education as a business rather than a public good.

Healthcare is an obvious one. As we are reaching the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, I think it would be the responsibility of the province to review the response of each regional health unit and see how local health systems faired. Also, I do think that our health system cannot go back to the way that

it was prior to the pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, we saw the Progressive Conservatives introduce cost cutting measures to the healthcare system.

While the healthcare system needs to be affordable, it also needs to meet the needs of the public it serves, and this cannot be a one-size fits all solution it should be regional.

Finally, infrastructure. In my nearly five-and-a-half years covering news in this riding, the issue of better internet in rural areas continues to persist.

Especially with students learning at home, and many office employees still working from home, having fast internet can be a real economic driver for the region.

This is just a peak at what we might be in for in the upcoming provincial election, and like many of the changes in the political landscape over the past year, there may still be some surprises that are yet to be seen.

Savard said his former team-mate’s death hit him hard. Savard wasn’t only Hawerchuk’s team-mate (Jets) but a neighbour in Winnipeg. Scott Arniel and Brian Mullen shared a house with Hawerchuk. Savard said when they would return from a road trip, his wife would deliver a big pot of spaghetti to the young trio who were better hockey players than cooks. They were like family. ...

One of the local legal minds (aka lawyer) has her knickers in a knot over the presence of a couple of “uniformed officers” helping out at a one-day COVID19 vaccine clinic in the municipal parking lot next to the Cornwall Police Service’s Montreal Road station.

In a Standard-Freeholder opinion piece – “Policing and COVID-19 Vaccination Sites Shouldn’t Mix” - she railed against the presence of two “uniformed officers,” claiming that this scared off some residents of Le Village region. She offers no proof of this being the case.

In fact, she isn’t sure the two individuals in the photo on her social media feed were both police officers. One, she noted, might have been a paramedic.

(The other was an unarmed auxiliary officer).

The author also took umbrage with the motor home used by police as a “Command Centre” being set up in the parking lot. In her mind, this is “a nod to the militarization of services in our community.”

Wow. A large motor home bearing the city logo and words “Command Centre” are part of the “militarization” of services in Cornwall. As they say in Texas, who would have ever thunk it.

Just for the record. The clinic was setup and operated by the Eastern Ontario Health Unit. The “Command Centre” vehicle and uniformed CPS member were there because the health unit wanted them there.

The ar ticle talked about the

neighbourhood being over-policed.

Crime and calls for assistance stats tell us why the police spent so much time in the area. It is from where so many calls come.

Sort of like when 1930s bank robber Alvin “Creepy” Karpis was asked why he robbed banks? “Because,” he said, “that’s where the money is.”

The irony of this ludicrous beat-up-onthe-cops argument is that businesses and most folks living in that part of the city want the police around. In fact, one high-profile group is calling for a greater police presence. You can be assured if CPS decided in a cost-cutting exercise not to have an east-end station there would be a huge backlash from the residents and businesses.

Veteran lawyer Don Johnson, who has logged more than 50 years as a prosecutor and one of the region’s top defence lawyer, called the suggestion that the presence of a police uniform at a vaccination clinic drove away certain folks “absolutely ridiculous.”

“I’ve never heard of a (defence) lawyer complain about the presence of uniformed police officers around the courthouse,” said Johnson.

The other night on one of the U. S. cable networks a black female community activist, one who actually lives in a high crime area of a large city, said minorities who reside in such neighbourhoods want more, not fewer police officer.

“What we want,” she said, “is not fewer, just better policing.”

(Full disclosure: My son is a veteran police officer, who has worked in Toronto and Cornwall).

1. TO SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY Making purchases from your local merchants at this busy time of year is a concrete way of giving back to your community. Your money goes directly into your neighbours’ hands and helps to create — and keep! — jobs in your region. In contrast, ordering a gift online from the other side of the world doesn’t help the people closest to home.

Furniture, Home Décor and Christmas items will be on special throughout the store

2. TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE When you visit the businesses in your region, you get to interact directly with local merchants. Of course, shopping online (in your pajamas?) has its advantages but talking to salespeople and fellow shoppers is even better.

A Design for Everyone!

3. TO STIMULATE THE LOCAL ECONOMY The more people support local retailers, the longer their businesses can continue to thrive and serve the community, thereby creating a strong local economy. What’s more, dynamic neighbourhoods are much more pleasant to live in than those whose shops have been forced to close and are accumulating dust, dirt and graffiti.

can to ensure you’re happy.

Conversely, returning and exchanging items bought online is sometimes difficult.

4. TO STRENGTHEN YOUR SENSE OF COMMUNITY Visiting businesses in your neighbourhood will increase your ties to the region. When you explore the area around you, you’ll rub elbows with your neighbours and discover amazing goods and services a stone’s throw from your home.

PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR HOUSE IS Support the local businesses that keep your community and its newspapers thriving.

6. TO ENJOY A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS Are you familiar with all of the goods and services available in your region?

Probably not. In fact, there are likely more businesses in your area than you realize! Consider spending a day visiting them. You’ll find that in just a few hours, you’ve completed all your holiday shopping and are still close to home.

7. TO BE KIND TO THE ENVIRONMENT Shopping locally not only eliminates the cost of shipping, but also tends to reduce the distance products travel before reaching you. In addition, you can avoid the need for extra packaging materials when you shop in person, especially if you bring your own tote bags.

This year, go ahead and get your holiday gifts, goodies and decorations a few minutes from home — you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

SDG OSPCA accueille des chiens des États-Unis PAR NICK SEEBRUCH, TRADUIT PAR NICHOLAS LAURIN nseebruch@seawaynews.media

12 - Le mercredi 1 decembre, 2021

- Cornwall Express - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

CORNWALL, Ontario – Au cours de la semaine du 24 novembre, la section SD&G de la Société ontarienne pour la prévention de la cruauté envers les animaux (SPCA) a reçu 27 chiens en provenance des États-Unis.

“De nombreux refuges aux États-Unis sont à pleine capacité ou presque, ce qui signifie

qu’ils n’ont plus de place pour aider ceux qui se présentent à leur porte. La OSPCA et la Société protectrice des animaux de l’Ontario ont la capacité d’aider, c’est pourquoi nous nous sommes impliqués pour aider ces chiens à trouver des foyers aimants”, a déclaré Carol Link de la SPCA SD&G. La plupart des chiens provenaient de l’État de Caroline du Nord et beaucoup étaient jeunes et en bonne santé, bien qu’il y ait eu

quelques chiens plus âgés dans le groupe.

Bien que de nombreux chiens aient été distribués aux succursales de la SPCA de l’Ontario, il en restait au moins deux à la succursale de SD&G en date du jeudi 25 novembre.

“Si vous songez à accueillir un animal dans votre foyer, c’est le moment idéal pour l’adopter. La campagne d’adoption iAdopt for the Holidays présentée par Swiffer de la SPCA et de la Humane Society de l’Ontario se déroule

jusqu’au 31 décembre. Visitez iAdopt.ca”, a iadopt.ca pour découvrir d’autres façons de participer et d’aider les animaux.

Le Conseil rejette la demande de rapport sur le projet d’égout de l’avenue Brookdale PAR NICK SEEBRUCH, TRADUIT PAR NICHOLAS LAURIN nseebruch@seawaynews.media

CORNWALL, Ontario – Le conseil municipal de Cornwall a voté contre une demande de rapport de l’administration sur le projet de prolongement des égouts de l’avenue Brookdale lors de sa réunion de lundi 22 novembre.

Le projet de 10,7 millions de dollars permettra d’étendre les services d’égout à la partie nord de l’avenue Brookdale, près du chemin Cornwall Centre.

Le conseiller Justin Towndale avait présenté une motion demandant des rapports trimestriels de l’administration sur le projet, afin d’obtenir plus d’informations sur les éventuels retards ou dépassements de coûts.

Towndale a souligné que le conseil a dû un financement supplémentaire de 75 000$ pour une étude technique qui n’était pas incluse dans l’appel d’offres initials et qu’un rapport inclus dans l’ordre du jour de lundi soir détaillait 35 000$ de dépassement de coûts.

“Il y a beaucoup d’argent lié à ce projet, pas seulement en termes de projet lui-même, mais en termes d’investissement. Nous avons eu un représentant d’Irving, par exemple, qui est venu nous parler de 150 millions de dollars qui créeraient des emplois dans la

communauté à leur emplacement au bout de Brookdale” a déclaré Towndale. “Quand vous regardez ce genre de choses et les concessionnaires automobiles qui s’installent là et le développement futur, il y a beaucoup de choses liées qui ne sont pas nécessairement dans le prix du billet que nous payons”, a-t-il ajouté. “Si le projet se termine, j’aimerais quand même voir quelque chose qui explique les difficultés rencontrées. Il semble qu’il y a ait eu quelques obstacles à franchir, du moins c’est l’impression que j’ai”, a conclu M. Towndale.

Le conseiller Towndale avait déjà demandé une surveillance et des rapports similaires pour le projet de réaménagement de la cour de triage municipale de la ville. Le projet de réaménagement de la cour de triage municipale, qui s’étend sur dix ans, a épuisé son budget d’urgence de cinq millions de dollars pour les dépassements de coûts au cours des deux premières années.

La directrice générale de l’administration (DGA) de Cornwall, Maureen Adams, a repoussé l’affirmation, selon laquelle il y a avait des dépassements de coûts associés au projet d’égout de l’avenue Brookdale.

“Dans le rapport du troisième trimestre, nous avons indiqué que nous sommes

potentiellement engagés par un peu plus de 100 000$. Cela représente un pour cent du budget. Il y a encore des éléments provisoires dans ce projet qui ne seront peut-être pas nécessaires, qui ne seront peut-être pas dépensés. Le projet pourrait être inférieur au budget”, a-t-elle déclaré. “Ce projet est entièrement financé par une redevance de développement spécifique à une zone. Il est donc financé et payé par les propriétaires bénéficiaires de l’avenue Brookdale. Un rapport final devra donc être présenté avec des informations à tous ces propriétaires pour leur montrer quels étaient ces coûts afin de finaliser les redevances de développement qui leur seront facturées.”

Adams a également rétorqué que le projet de cour de triage municipale et le projet d’extension du réseau d’égouts étaient très différents.

“Le rapport sur le projet de la cour municipale est un projet pluriannuel, potentiellement de 10 ans, avec plusieurs phases et plusieurs appels d’offres. Il s’agit d’un projet assez simple. Bien que tout projet d’égouts importants puisse avoir des coûts imprévus, mais globalement, de mon point de vue, le projet respecte le budget. L’appel d’offres principal pour la construction de ce projet, attribué à Louis Bray

(Construction Ltd.), était de 9,7 millions de dollars, le projet est de 10,7 millions de dollars”, a déclaré Adams. “Donc, de mon point de vue, si nous voulions reprendre ce processus, comme nous l’avons fait pour la cour des travaux municipaux. Je vais indiquer que c’est une quantité importante de travail. Le projet est presque terminé.”

La majorité du Conseil s’est ralliée à l’évaluation de l’administration.

“Je peux comprendre d’où vient Justin, qui veut obtenir des informations sur ce projet.

Les rumeurs commencent dans les petites villes, mais je ne pense pas qu’il y ait d’informations que l’on puisse obtenir dans un rapport et que l’on ne puisse pas obtenir dans une conversation rapide avec l’administration”, a déclaré le conseiller Todd Bennett. “Je pense simplement qu’un rapport va être encombrant pour eux. Je ne pense pas que ce soit une raison suffisante pour qu’un rapport soit publié.”

Le conseil a voté contre la motion de Towndale demandant un plan de rapport de gestion de projet pour le projet de prolongement de l’égout de l’avenue Brookdale par une marge de 9-2, seul le conseiller Eric Bergeron, qui a appuyé la motion, votant avec Towndale.

Dear Santa, I am Andrew Schaefer. I just bought my first Elf on the Shelf but can you gift me the female Elf on the Self and the little deer and dog.

Your friend, Andrew Schaefer Dear Santa, My name is Fraser MacCuaig and I am 4 years old. I have been a very good boy this year.

I help my little sister out a lot and my mom and dad. I have been very good at school too. This year for Christmas, I would like more trains for my train set, Lego, trucks and cars, and some Ghostbuster stuff. I will leave out some cookies and milk for you and some carrots for the reindeer. Please say hello to Rudolph for me.

Love, Fraser

Dear Santa, I am writing this for me (Zoey Dean) and my little brother Zion Dean. For Christmas I would like wrestlers, and Jurrasic World Evolution 2, and Zion would like Nerf guns, PJ mask toys, Batman cars, and a Kinder Surprise Egg. Thank you very much for last years gifts as well as this year.

From, Zoey and Zion Dean Dear Santa Claus, My name is Harrison Abraham and I am 3 years old. My nanny is helping me with my Christmas letter to you. First I would like to thank you for my Christmas gifts last year, I had fun with them. This year I have been a very good boy. I’m helping mommy and daddy more now because mommy and daddy are going to bring me home a new baby sister or brother after the holidays. I promise I will share my toys. This Christmas I would like a train set, magnet blocks, play dough and anything else you think I might like. I will leave cookies and milk for you and sugar and carrots for your reindeers. Have a safe trip Santa.

Love, Harrison

Dear Santa, How are you? My name is Weston and I’m 3.5 years old. I’m so excited to write my letter to you. I am also excited to tell you that I have a new baby sister named Lucie, and have been trying hard to be a good big brother... even when she cries. This year I would love an excavator and bulldozer button toy and maybe a new toboggan. I think Lucie might like a magical Unicorn. I hope the elves and reindeer are doing well. I’ve been helping in the kitchen lots, so I will bake you some cookies to snack on when you get here and I’ll leave some carrots for Rudolph too. Merry Christmas Santa!

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) is urging the public to get their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine if they have not already.

“I’m asking all individuals who are partially vaccinated to get their second dose as this will put the odds of avoiding any serious outcomes from the virus in their favour,” said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health at the EOHU. “Looking at the statistics, the benefits of being fully vaccinated are clear.

Most of the cases, hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths are occurring in unvaccinated or par tially vaccinated individuals.”

The EOHU is reminding the public that if an individual receives their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine eight weeks after receiving their first, they will have the best protection against the COVID-19 virus.

The Importance of Mortgage Pre-Approval ROYAL LEPAGE PERFORMANCE REALTY TALAT BUTT BROKER

Whether you are a first time home buyer, wanting to downsize or even upsize for that matter, it is very important that you have spoken to a Mortgage agent first. This step in the home buying process should be done before you consult with a local Realtor®.

Mortgage Agents provide the insight on what your maximum allowable purchase price can be, what your monthly payments would be, mortgage rates for your first term and the like. They also will shed light on all of the other costs associated with purchasing a home and moving such as property taxes, insurance, utility bills etc. and have you fully prepared with all of your ducks in a row to proceed with the next step.

Why are pre-approvals so important?

It takes the pressure off of your search, it gives your Realtor® something to work with.

You wouldn`t look at homes in the $500,000.00 range when your maximum approval is only $400,000.00. That is a total waste of time to everyone involved in

your search and can lead to a big disappointment for you. Buying a home is supposed to be an exciting experience, not a let down.

Clearing up as much of your existing debt is a smart idea prior to meeting with your lender. Your credit rating and current debt will be closely reviewed.

Applying for a pre-approval is free and you can get a second opinion, you are not stuck with one lender. It is just as important to find a Mortgage Agent you are comfortable working with as it is a Realtor®. This is one of the biggest assets of your life. Everyone must be on the same page. Team Buyer.

Once you have been pre-approved, have made an accepted offer on a home and are

now just waiting for the closing date so you can move in. Real Estate Agents cannot reiterate this enough. Now is NOT the time to go out and buy a new car, furniture for the home etc. Doing these things can alter your credit rating and current debt and upon closing, because your finances have changed, the bank may not approve your mortgage for closing and you end up not getting the home.

Not only are you now out of a home, you are quite possibly in a position to be sued by the Seller. Patience is key.

Take your time, do your research and don`t settle. This is a big step, not one to be taken lightly.

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Elsie Kyer at the age of 103. Those who knew her will remember her as the life of the party, especially at one of her favourite places, the Cornwall Legion.

Hope someone smartens up soon.

h! The classic road trip. Day three on a cross country trip to British Columbia.

The driver enquires, “How’re we doing?

Where are we now?” Off the navigator’s lap comes a road map. It is then unfolded, inverted, spread wide with outstretched arms, then folded, then folded in another way. Wrong map. Out comes another map. It too is unfolded…

A hesitant voice answers, “We must be on the Trans-Canada…, I think.”

“Please, tell me, what’s the next town?”

A long silence, then, “It might be Thunder Bay, or Kenora, I think.”

“We went through Kenora yesterday. What’s this big lake on our right?”

More rustling and shuffling of the map,

then, “…Huron?”

The driver sighs and suggests, “Let’s pull into the next Tim’s.” It’s time to show his would-be navigator their present position on the big map of Canada, then on the detailed provincial map of Saskatchewan. Finally, the next check-point.

Before the big trip, colour photocopies should have been made of the series of sections on the detailed provincial and state maps. Each page should be numbered in chronological and geographical order. A photocopy of a far less detailed of the map of Canada should also be made, with a red line to indicate the tentative route, followed by a day-by-day green line to record progress en route. Major destinations should be circled.

Just as reading of Shakespeare, recipes, operating instructions and flight manuals has to be taught, that also applies to map interpretation. No more folding and unfolding of maps that will soon become wrinkled, tattered and separated into strips.

Having followed the Boy Scout’s motto,

RECIPE FOR FRUSTRATION – Lack of training, lack of practice in familiar situations will inevitably result in a memorable experience, but not a pleasant one. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk) “Andiamo! Allons-y! Hasta la vista! Let’s hit the road!”

There’s a guy who lives up north who should be preparing his navigator for the annual flight that will take place near the end of this

month. His navigator elf should consult a globe to get the big picture of his Christmas Eve delivery itinerary, plus detailed street maps, with colour-coded notations showing who’s been naughty and who’s been nice.

ONTARIO – Following Health Canada’s approval of the paediatric Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, families can now book appointments for children aged five to 11 starting Nov. 23, 2021.

Approximately one million children aged five to 11 are eligible to receive the paediatric vaccine, which will help fight Ontario’s constant battle with COVID-19 by keeping schools safer for in-person learning and activities.

“The approval of the Pfizer vaccine for children aged five to 11 is exciting news for families and represents a bright light at the end of the tunnel,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Offering the protection of the vaccine to children aged five to 11 is a significant milestone in Ontario’s fight against COVID-19 in advance of the holiday season. We continue to encourage all Ontarians to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated to protect themselves, their families and their communities.”

Ontario is expected to increase its vaccination rates with 1,076,00 doses of the paediatric Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children aged five to 11.

“Increasing vaccine rates will help to further minimize disruption and keep students learning in a more normal in-class experience,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education. “As a result of widespread ventilation improvements, increasing investments, and comprehensive testing options, Ontario has one of the lowest case rates for youth under 20 in Canada.”

Parents and guardians of children who are eligible can book an appointment through covid19.ontariohealth.ca or by calling the Provincial Vaccine Contact Centre at 1-833-943-3900.

Parents and guardians of children who have barriers preventing them from going to a vaccination clinic can call the EOHU at 1-800267-7129 to discuss alter nate arrangements.
