Year in Review Presentation Set for December 16 PROVIDED BY CHOOSE CORNWALL

CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall’s economy is in the spotlight with the presentation of the much anticipated Year in Review report from Cornwall Economic Development.

Each year Cornwall Economic Development compiles a report of major investments, achievements and other positive events that have taken place over the past year. For the

past 24 years, the report has been released publicly to hundreds of businesses and community leaders in the third week of December.

For the second year in a row the presentation will take place virtually on the Zoom web conferencing platform.

This year’s presentation will begin at 9:00 am on Thursday December 16.

“Despite the ongoing disruptions caused by the pandemic, local businesses continue

Around the Counties

AROUND THE COUNTIES TODD LIHOU

Every month the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry will use this space to provide updates and information on newsworthy events from our region. These updates will often include a recap of Counties Council decisions, service updates and PSAs. RURAL EDUCATION REPORT: The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry is calling for significant changes to the education system in Ontario, following the receipt of a consultant’s report that spotlights the

shortcomings of the system for students in our region and throughout rural Ontario.

The report, entitled “Improving Rural Education in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry”, was prepared by Horizon Educational Consultants of Ottawa. The study was commissioned by the County earlier this year, and fulfills one of the strategic priorities of the County – Rural Schools – Educating Children in their Own Communities.

Council endorsed the report, an expansive review of trends and challenges in public education in the SDG region which contains a series of 10 key recommendations for government to improve educational opportunities for children throughout rural Ontario.

Some of the key recommendations include: • Consolidate the existing four publicly funded school boards into a publicly funded system for each official language, English and French.

to rise to the challenge and we are seeing ongoing investment across a variety of sectors,” said Bob Peters, Manager of Cornwall Economic Development. “The presentation will recap those investments and profile positive development and growth over the past 12 months.”

• Ensure that the use of schools as community assets is maximized.

• Review how/when/where French immersion programming is offered.

• Enhance the availability and scope of Secondary School Specialized programming.

• Review student transportation policies to limit ride times for students, and better align transportation alternatives with provincial health strategies aimed at reducing childhood obesity.

A Counties working group is preparing a roll-out plan for the study, which will include a rural education symposium to be held in

February.

Earlier this year SDG asked the public to help name the snow plows operated by the Counties to add a little bit of fun to a season that brings with it plenty of snow and ice.

Lettering is now being affixed to plow doors so that the names will be easily recognizable by the public.

In all 16 SDG plows were named this year.

The names include: Plowy McPlowface, For Your Ice Only, Clan MacPlowed, Truck Norris, Rhinestone Plowboy, Storm-ont, Glengarry Lochness, Dundas Demon, David Snowie, Snow Way Jose, Avonmore Ace, Glen Salter, Saltzing Matilda, Mountain Goat, Maiden o’Moulinette, Stormin’ Glen Norman.

Warden appointed Mayor of South Glengarry; Jaworski Deputy Mayor NICK SEEBRUCH

nseebruch@seawaynews.media

SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The Township of South Glengarry has a new Mayor and Deputy Mayor, two days after former Mayor Frank Prevost announced his resignation.

Council chose to appoint Deputy Mayor Lyle Warden to the Mayor’s seat, and Councillor Stephanie Jaworski as Deputy Mayor at a Special Meeting of Council on Thursday evening, Dec. 9.

Prevost, who was facing criminal charges, has been on a six month unpaid leave of absence since June. He announced his resignation on Tuesday, Dec. 7 in a letter to the Township.

Prevost’s trial is scheduled for 2023, after the next municipal election, which will be in the fall of 2022.

“He won’t continue with that sort of cloud over council,” said Prevost’s lawyer Mark Ertel to Seaway News on Tuesday. “He did not want to do that to his colleagues or the community.”

To fill the vacancy, Council had the option of appointing a person as Mayor, or holding a by-election.

There was no appetite around the Council table for a by-election.

A by-election would take three months, with an estimated cost of $25,500, not including the time it would take for administration to manage the election.

“If we were in the first two years of the term I can see, but we’re in the final year of the term. By the time the person’s appointed

there’s going to be about seven months left,” said Councillor Martin Lang. “To spend the money to do that, we’ll be only a couple of months away from doing the next one.”

Lang and the rest of Council voiced their support for Warden being appointed as Mayor.

As Deputy Mayor, Warden has been filling in as Acting Mayor for the past six months.

“I don’t think it makes sense to bring in someone who hasn’t been a part of Council the past three years to lead Council and to speak, essentially for the Township,” said Councillor Jaworski. “I think Deputy Mayor Warden has done an excellent job stepping in so far and I think formalizing that arrangement is in the best interest of the Township and the most responsible course as well.”

Warden was appointed to the Mayor’s office unanimously.

Council also wanted consistency in who they picked to be Deputy Mayor, so again, chose from within.

“Given how we’ve learned over the past six months how important it is to have a good Deputy Mayor in place in a situation such as what we’ve gone through, or something similar, I think it is only fitting that we go through the same process and we appoint within our existing Council,” said Councillor Sam McDonell.

“As Council Jaworski said before, I think it is only fitting that it be someone who has been a part of this council and the strategic planning and all that we’ve gone through the past few years.”

Councillor Stephanie Jaworski has been representing South Glengarry on the United Counties of SD&G Council in Prevost’s

South Glengarry Township Council at a Special Meeting on Thursday, December 9, 2021 to appoint a new Mayor. absence. The United Counties Council is composed of the Mayors and Deputy Mayors of the six townships that comprise Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry.

“Councillor Jaworski has done an excellent job at County Council. She’s been in the thick of it for six months and I would like to see her continue the rest of this term,” said Councillor Lang.

Councillor Jaworski was appointed unanimously to Deputy Mayor.

“It has been very rewarding being at the County table the last six months, and I really appreciate the opportunity to finish that term and important files, particularly one that is near and dear to my heart because I don’t foresee the opportunity to be back there again for quite some time,” Jaworski said.

With Jaworski being elevated to Deputy

Mayor, this now left another vacancy on Council. Councillors decided again against holding a by-election to fill the vacant Council seat.

“I don’t feel at this point it makes logical sense or financial sense for us to hold a by-election,” said Councillor McDonell. “I know however it is the most democratic way for roughly seven months, and part of those seven months being election time, again, it doesn’t make sense to go to a by-election at this point.”

Council ultimately voted in favour of creating an application process inviting eligible residents of South Glengarry to apply for the vacant Council seat. Administration will return to Council with a report on the application process at their next meeting on Monday, Dec. 20.

Walmart Canada launches new technology at Cornwall warehouse

NICK SEEBRUCH

CORNWALL, Ontario – Walmart Canada unveiled a new logistics and goods delivery system at their warehouse in Cornwall on Friday, Dec. 10.

The result of a $20 million investment, this new Goods-to-Person warehouse delivery system aims at resolving global supply chain issues through the creation of efficiencies. The new system would see 60,000 items shipped every 16 hours.

The 40,000 sq. ft. space is the first of its kind for Walmart, and will also come with a growth in the labour force at Walmart’s Cornwall campus. Walmart Logsistics says that it plans on hiring 80 more people to add to their over 2,000 workers already in Cornwall.

“We are very please to see Walmart Canada continue to invest in Cornwall,” said Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant in a statement to the media. “This investment in state-of-the-ar t technology reinforces Walmart’s position as a world leader in the supply-chain sector, and supports the 2,000-plus workforce in Cornwall that work hard every day to bring much needed goods to Canadian families.”

“We have been here for more than 20 years, and Cornwall is for us a major hub,” said Walmart Canada President and CEO

Horacio Barbeito. “It makes sense for us to upgrade and expand on this campus.”

The new goods delivery system is part automated, part manned by employees.

Walmart Logistics says that this system is less labour intensive for employees while also being more efficient.

The process if broken down into four phases. The first phase “Decanting” sees items sorted and verified before being divided into boxes and sent down the line. The next station sees the plastic bins be built which are used for storage within the warehouse. The plastic bins are then loaded, checked ofr any issues, and then sent to the department where they are needed.

The new Goods-to-Person system will deliver health and beauty producs, apparel, stationery, electronics and more to 136 Walmar t stores across Ontario and Canada’s East Coast.

Cornwall’s Division Manager for Economic Development Bob Peters praised the expansion of Walmar t Logisitic’s Cornwall campus.

“Walmart is a special place. It is where families go to get food, medicine and clothes,” he said. “We here in Cornwall are proud to be a part of Walmart’s supply chain. Thank you Walmart for this investment and we look forward to continue working with you in the future.”

A Season for Remembering At a time when our loved ones are especially missed, we wish all of our friends and neighbours comfort and peace.

We are truly honoured to serve this community and thank you for your trust in us.

Yes, Joy can be Real!

Everything about the Christmas story points us towards a God who cares for us far more than we can ever understand. He left perfection and peace to enter our chaos on a divine rescue mission, to bring us hope and life. God left his world to enter ours so we could experience his love. But how can we truly understand his love, in the midst of frequent brokenness and pain?

Sometimes this season makes such pain all too real, but it was actually because of this need that Christ came in the first place. Author Emily Arnold writes; “How could we think God hates us when he gives us what he, beyond all measure - loves? I proclaim to you great joy that shall come to all peoples – peace on earth!” A true Christmas experience is to feel the greater power of this Christmas peace, that even now on earth overcomes all expectations and is the faith of Christmas.

When all kinds of things that spell security and comfort and removed, we become more keenly aware that God needed to enter our world. We can’t make heaven on earth, no matter how hard we try. Sin has affected and infected everything we

touch. We needed a Saviour. And we still today long for peace on earth as did the original Christmas story participants.

A powerful way to appreciate having a Saviour available is to imagine what it would be like to not have one. Imagine that: your pain and suffering will have no purpose or meaning, our short lives are merely ruled by fate and that we’re just unlucky, wrongs will never be made right, truth is relative, and hope for a better world is a useless dream because nothing really matters in the end, and that there is no divine audience to your plight, we are all sadly - alone.

But we do have a reason to be joyful! A Saviour has been born for us, and our suffering touches his merciful and gracious heart. He was not only moved by our suffering, he came and joined us in it!

Christmas reminds us that we can put our hope in a sure thing, the ‘love of God.’ This is the ‘good new that will bring great joy’ Luke 2:10. Beyond beautiful trees, decorations, meals and songs, we can truly, honestly exclaim: Merry Christmas! Christ is born!

Appointments or byelections?

NICK SEEBRUCH

Regionally, this has very much been a year where the municipal electoral system has been put to the test.

Three regional municipalities have had to make decisions on how to best fill vacancies that have opened around their council tables.

In June, Cornwall City Council had to deal with the vacancy left by Mayor Bernadette Clement when she was elevated to the Senate of Canada.

Two weeks ago, North Dundas Councillor Tyler Hoy abruptly resigned his seat, and last week South Glengarry mayor Frank Prevost also resigned under a cloud of controversy.

I have yet to see how North Dundas plans on addressing their vacancy, but if they follow the trend set by Cornwall and South Glengarry, they will likely appoint someone.

The issue of whether to appoint a person to Council or to hold a byelection is contentious with no easy answer. For months now I’ve been listening to arguments from all sides.

Each side boils down to two basic arguments.

The first is that appointing a person to fill a council vacancy is preferable, because a by-election would cost tens of thousands of dollars and there would be about three or four months left in Councils four-year term before the next election.

The argument from the other side is that regardless of the cost or of the time left, that we live in a democracy and that those who represent us should be elected by the people.

I think this all boils down to how you feel about democracy and if you think there is a dollar value that can be put to it.

Let’s look at Cornwall as a test case.

Cornwall Council first had to make the decision whether or not to hold a byelection, or to

appoint someone to the Mayor’s office. They chose the latter.

Under the Municipal Act, by choosing to appoint someone, Council then had the power to appoint anyone who is eligible to run for the office of Mayor in the City of Cornwall.

What they chose to do was to appoint Councillor Glen Grant as Mayor. They reasoned that Grant had previously expressed interest in running for Mayor and had many years of experience as a Councillor. Additionally, Grant announced that he would not be running again in the next election, meaning that anyone running for Mayor in the 2022 election would not have an incumbent’s advantage. Sound logic so far.

This left Grant’s Council seat vacant.

For this vacancy, Council chose to follow past precedent and appoint the person who got the next most votes in the last election without making it onto Council, Denis Carr.

Herein lies the problem with the Municipal Act that governs the issue of Council vacancies, it leaves room for wide inconsistencies.

Council chose not to go down the roll of candidates and appoint the person who got the next most votes to be Mayor, but they did do that for the position of Councillor.

I do think Mayor Grant is one of if not the most qualified candidate available in the city to be Mayor, but the more I think about how Council treated the issue of this vacancy, the more I feel like the process was clunky and frankly undemocratic.

I feel Cornwall Council could have saved itself a lot of rightly earned criticism by simply holding a byelection for Mayor. Cornwall has no Deputy Mayor. No matter how qualified Mayor Grant is, the Cornwall electorate did not vote for him to be a Mayor, they voted for him to be a Councillor.

Mayor is the most important elected office in

the municipality.

The issue of not having a Deputy Mayor is why I feel differently about the way that South Glengarry Council handled their vacancy last week.

Like Cornwall, they also chose to appoint someone. Unlike Cornwall, South Glengarry does have a Deputy Mayor, who until he was appointed Mayor on Thursday had been effectively carrying out those duties for the past six months.

When Lyle Warden was elected Deputy Mayor, the electorate already had to see him and consider him as someone who could potentially serve in the top job someday. While not as democratic as holding a byelection, I still think that the voice of the people was more clearly heard in South Glengarry than in Cornwall.

South Glengarry also had to choose someone to fill the vacant Deputy Mayor’s position and they chose Councillor Stephanie Jaworski.

Jaworski was chosen because of her experience and because of the time she has spent representing South Glengarry at the United Counties of SD&G Council, which is the job of a Township’s Mayor and Deputy Mayor. Again however, the

Setting Boundaries Over the Holidays

IN THE KNOW WITH SASS DEVIN COUCHMAN

The holidays can be tough for some people.

With COVID restrictions a bit looser this holiday season, some people may be feeling increased pressure to have “back to normal” holiday gatherings. But let’s be honest, COVID

may not be the only reason why you’re feeling a little uncomfortable about the upcoming holiday season. Maybe you feel like you must take on too much over the holidays, or you have values that don’t align with others. You might feel like you must either keep your opinion to yourself or spend time arguing over your values. The point is, should we be spending the holidays in a state of discomfort, or should we be setting boundaries around our time, space, and energy?

Boundaries are so important because in the simplest terms, they draw a line between what belongs to you and what belongs to others in terms of your emotions, physical space, beliefs, possessions, etc. When we

refuse to set a boundary, we prioritize other people’s discomfort or feelings over our own, which can lead to resentment, anger, and frustration.

The best way to communicate your boundaries with others is by using an I-statement.

This shifts the focus onto yourself and your feelings and takes the blame off the listener.

It also offers concrete suggestions for how you would like to move forward. This easy, fill-in-the-blank tool will assist you with setting boundaries: I feel __________ When you __________ Because __________ I need __________

electorate did not consider Stephanie Jaworski to be Deputy Mayor, they considered her to be a Councillor.

It would have been more democratic to hold a byelection, yes, but would it have made more sense? Again, I think that boils down to how each of us feels about the concept of democracy, and if the values of democracy take precedent over any dollar value or other consideration.

Interestingly, South Glengarry is taking a different route to filling the now vacant Council seat left by Stephanie Jaworski, they are accepting applications from the public. This also is not as democratic as a byelection, but hopefully this will be a transparent process that will allow for some public input on the potential applicants.

What do you think readers? Should councils hold byelections to fill vacancies regardless of the cost to taxpayers?

Email me a Letter to the Editor at nseebruch@seawaynews.media

It’s extremely important to go into a boundary setting conversation with realistic expectations of the reactions you may receive.

People are often not happy when you set boundaries that they don’t agree with. Being prepared for these reactions will help you have a healthier conversation. Acknowledge that it might be difficult for your loved one to have this boundary set, but it’s important for you. Remember that you can set boundaries while still being compassionate and loving.

You can sit with your loved one’s pain, hold space for their reaction, and reiterate how much they mean to you – and at the same time make it clear that the boundary is non-negotiable.

Geographical Society honours city native Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

The Royal Canadian Geographical Society has rebranded one of its prestigious awards in memory of a talented Cornwall native and city resident described as a “driving force” behind the organization’s success.

The rebranded “Innovation in Geography Teaching Award” was unveiled in a ceremony in Ottawa. It is now called the Gilles Gagnier Medal. Gagnier, for years a pillar of the Society, died in Cornwall on Sept. 10 of a heart attack.

He was 51.

He was chief operating officer of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society and publisher of the Canadian Geographic.

The Society said the award will be given to an inspirational educator who is committed to advancing geographic literacy through innovation teaching and learning strategies. It will be presented in November at the Society’s College of Fellows annual dinner.

Society CEO John Geiger said the medal, “is just one way we as a Society will continue to remember his (Gagnier) incredible work contribution.”

A former prime minister who admired Gagnier’s work is Stephen Harper. In a letter read at the unveiling ceremony, Harper said, “(Gilles) efforts contributed greatly to the culture of Canada. Gilles made our national identity relevant for millions of people.”

Harper took note of Gagnier’s professional

energy, passion for adventure and love of Canada.

“His work introduced the magic of the Canadian wilderness to thousands of students from coast to coast through groundbreaking educational resources,” said the former prime minister.

Among the guests at the ceremony was former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Perry Bellegarde who performed a blessing and smudged a ceremonial blanket that was given to Gagnier’s family.

Gagnier spearheaded the creation of a Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada and Canadian Geographic Education’s sprawling floor map program. He also played a leading role in fostering a collaboration between Canadian Geographic and the Metis NationalSaskatchewan to support Michif language education.

A graduate of St. Lawrence High School, he held degrees from Queen’s and McGill.

He leaves his wife Nancy, parents and siblings.

THIS MONTH IN 1960 – Renowned CBC journalist Norman DePoe, host of News Magazine, one of the country’s most watched television news shows, spent three days in Cornwall with a camera crew dwelling on the city’s huge unemployment problem, one of the worst in the country, and how it affected families and the community. The 30-minute segment told the story of a industrial community battling the economic fallout from plant closures and 20% unemployment. Trying to put a positive spin on the story, a city hall official declared, “Yes, we have 20% unemployment, but we have 80% of

the workforce employed.” The say it was a dumb statement would be an understatement. ... City police said they were “very concerned” with the theft of several revolvers and ammunition from Jock Dalbec Sporting Goods store on Montreal Road. The break-in was discovered at 4 a.m. by an officer on beat patrol. Police called it a professional heist. ... Mayor L. G. “Archie” Lavigne, who became mayor when Emile Menard died in August 1957 just eight months after his upset win over long-time mayor Aaron Horovitz, was defeated by Nick Kaneb in a close race. ... Menard Brothers Construction of Cornwall was given the $16,000 contract to build a new post office in Finch. ... Pointing to the successful start-up of the company’s carpet division, Courtaulds president Drummond Giles called rumours that the company was cutting back production in other divisions at the Cornwall plant “ridiculous.” He said the plant was in Cornwall for the long haul. The “long haul” turned out to be about 10 years when the plant that once employed 2,000 people closed.

HERE AND THERE Great thing about Cornwall’s own Bernadette Clement being named to the slumber room (aka Senate) is that I now can name one of the 105 Canadian senators who take up space in the rouge chamber. After that rascal Mike Duffy retired, I couldn’t come up with one name. Oh ya, there was a guy named Thompson who spent two years living in Mexico while collecting a pay cheque and benefits before he was busted.

Meanwhile, in about 10 minutes I had no trouble coming up with 19 of the 100 U.S. senators. ... Beleaguered Les Canadiens’ mentor Dom Ducharme, who will be paid the next two

seasons NOT to coach the Habs, might want to pull out a dressing room speech an exasperated Harry Neale gave his Canucks’ players during a prolonged losing skid, “We can’t win at home. We can’t win on the road. Unfortunately, as your coach, I can’t find another place for you to play.” Two days later Neale was fired. He found life after coaching as a Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster. ... So much for secrecy.

Within 24 hours of the Cornwall Police Board voting behind closed doors to hire a new deputy chief, just about everyone in the station knew his name, that he was from the RCMP, his rank, where he was stationed and that he once worked with the Cornwall Regional Task Force.

The new chief edged out Insp. Dave Michaud, a Cornwall Police Service veteran. The official announcement expected to be made before Christmas.

TRIVIA ANSWER After making Dale Hawerchuk the first overall pick in the 1981 draft, the Winnipeg Jets went back to the Royals in 1982 and made defenceman Jim Kyte their first round pick,. 12th overall. When Jets general manager John Ferguson announced the pick, he started off with, “The Winnipeg Jets, from their Cornwall farm team select ...”

It debuted on CBS in 1956.

Brush off your kilt and shine up your dancing shoes. After two years of announcing the sad news that the Glengarry Highland Games was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Games is today excited to announce that the planning has started for a full version of its much-anticipated event to be held July 29 & 30, 2022.

All planning for the 73rd edition of the Games will be done following guidelines set out by the Eastern Ontario Health Unit. With that in mind, plans may change, but the Games is hopeful that the gates on the Kenyon Agricultural Fairgrounds in Maxville will be open and a full slate of events, competitors and entertainers will be there to welcome everyone to a reunion and celebration that we have all been longing for.

Games President Eric Metcalfe states, “I am looking forward to welcoming everyone to the 73rd Glengarry Highland Games. We all have missed this amazing celebration of our Scottish heritage and it is time to get together and Glengarry is ready to celebrate! Our committees will be working hard over the next months and we will be ready to host all the competitors, participants and visitors.”

LE MERCREDI 15 DECEMBRE 2021 | VOL. 12, NUMÉRO 37 | WWW.CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

Les habitants de Cornwall, souhaitent un avenir durable, selon les résultats d’une enquête NICK LAURIN CORNWALL, Ontario - Le mercredi 29 septembre 2021, Angela Parker, coordonnatrice du projet de durabilité de la ville de Cornwall et Lee Theodore, coordonnateur du projet Future Climate Leaders, ont lancé le sondage Let’s Talk about Climate Change.

Le sondage a permis de mesurer la sensibilisation et le soutien des habitants de Cornwall et d’autres collectivités de l’est de l’Ontario à l’égard du changement climatique et des plans de la ville de Cornwall et de mesurer l’impact du changement climatique sur leur vie.

L’enquête a atteint 2,500 personnes, mais a été complétée par 1,073 personnes, dépassant leur objectif de 1,000 répondants.

Cornwall a accueilli la majorité des répondants, avec 757. De plus, 284 provenaient d’une autre communauté de l’est de l’Ontario et 22 de l’extérieur de la région. L’âge des répondants était le suivant: 696 pour les adultes de 31 à 64 ans, 140 pour les personnes de 30 ans et moins et 237 pour les personnes de 65 ans et plus.

Le sondage a démontré que la plupart des répondants croient aux changements

climatiques et veulent prendre des mesures pour les contrer.

«Cette accumulation de sentiments m’indiquent également que nous avons plus de personnes qui s’expriment en faveur d’un avenir durable que le petit groupe qui est confronté aux réalités du changement climatique, à savoir que le changement climatique est le résultat d’un changement naturel, mais accéléré et modifié par l’activité humaine», a déclaré M. Theodore.

En comparaison, la plupart des personnes interrogées ne connaissaient pas la Journée Éco de Cornwall, le plan de gestion des déchets alimentaires, le comité de l’environnement et du changement climatique.

«La capacité a communiquer. Un programme de marketing plus fort - avec un soutien en ressources - est-ce que la ville doit considérer sérieusement. Derrière cela, une forte considération de ce que doit être le message», a déclaré Theodore. «Au sein de l’espace FCL, il y a une forte intention de créer un calendrier annuel des activités qui se déroulent dans l’espace durable, pour mieux aider, non seulement les individus à naviguer dans cet espace,

City of Cornwall Sustainability Coordinator Angela Parker and Lee Theodore, Project Manager for Climate Leaders in Guindon Park (Nick Seebruch/ Seaway News). mais aussi les organisations à trouver où elles peuvent s’associer et, plus important encore, à être au courant des dates de chacun. Ce faisant, un meilleur marketing peut être réalisé, à partir de ce point de vue», a ajouté Theodore.

«En ce qui concerne les résultats de ces données, c’est la ville de Cornwall qui sera le champion de la façon dont ces informations

seront utilisées pour faciliter sa programmation. Dans l’état actuel des choses, la ville de Cornwall doit être le principal promoteur du changement dans notre communauté et ces données contribueront certainement à orienter ses considérations futures concernant la sensibilisation et l’action locale en matière de changement climatique», a ajouté Theodore.

L’UCDSB célèbre le codage informatique

CORNWALL, Ontario - Cette semaine, l’Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) consacre au moins une heure de cours à des activités de codage dans plus de 30 salles de classe de 28 écoles différentes. Hour of Code a lieu chaque année pendant la semaine de l’enseignement de l’informatique. La semaine de l’enseignement de l’informatique de 2021 se tiendra du 6 au 12 décembre.

Hour of Code a commencé comme une introduction d’une heure à l’informatique, pour montrer que tout le monde peut apprendre les bases du code. L’objectif de ce mouvement est d’initier les élèves de la maternelle à la 12e année aux concepts de STEM et de programmation informatique. Cette campagne est soutenue par 400 partenaires et 200 000 éducateurs dans le monde entier.

«Il est important que nos élèves se

familiarisent avec le codage, l’informatique et d’autres technologies afin qu’ils soient dotés des compétences numériques dont ils ont besoin pour réussir», déclare Bryan Kearney, partenaire d’apprentissage de l’UCDSB. Bryan Kearney, partenaire d’apprentissage de l’UCDSB, a dirigé les élèves de la classe 4/5/6 de l’école publique de Kemptville dans le cadre de l’activité Hour of Code ``Outbreak: Code votre propre simulation`` «Ce simulateur d’épidémie favorise les compétences de résolution de problèmes en utilisant un exemple auquel les élèves peuvent s’identifier», explique Bryan Kearney.

Ces activités autoguidées sont gratuites et accessibles toute l’année sur le site Hour of Code, sans téléchargement de logiciel supplémentaire. Il existe des activités pour tous les niveaux de compétence et tous les appareils.

If you are living with persistent or chronic pain (i.e. experiencing pain for 3 months or longer), it can be hard to know where to start.

There is no quick fix for chronic pain. It takes a lot of hard work and trial and error to figure out how exactly to cope day after day despite being in pain. It can be exhausting, frustrating and honestly, quite annoying when pain does not go away. Through experience in working with people with chronic pain, it is so important to not overlook the simple things that can make a positive impact on controlling your pain. #1: Find a form of movement that you enjoy and make a point to do it daily, even if it’s just for 5 minutes to start. It can be walking, dancing in the kitchen, playing with your kids, yoga, stretching, or kicking a soccer ball outside. The opportunities for movement are endless.

When living with chronic pain, your brain and nervous system are constantly telling you that you should avoid or stop movement, but avoiding movement leads to more muscle tension, more muscle weakness, feeling more fatigued and experiencing more pain.

With patience and persistence, getting in a little movement daily will reduce global muscle tension, increase your strength, improve your mood, and decrease the intensity of your pain. #2: Meditation, mindfulness and breath work practices are other foundational pieces for pain management. These practices help wind down a wound up pain system by reducing heart rate, lowering blood pressure, decreasing muscle tension, improving blood

flow and upregulating feel good hormones and neurotransmitters. There are many phone apps out there that will guide you through meditation, mindfulness or breathwork sessions, and can be as short as 2 minutes or as long as 60 minutes. Some of our favourite phone apps are Headspace, Calm, Curable, and Breathe2Relax. #3: Finally, it is important to consider what you eat and what you drink and how it affects your pain. If you are experiencing pain you will need to prioritize eating a well balanced diet that includes lean meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and whole grains. This promotes healing within your body.

Blueberries, strawberries, red grapes, apples, bananas, leafy greens, carrots, avocados, cruciferous vegetables, nuts, seeds, brown rice, lentils, whole wheat bread, black beans, eggs, fish, chicken soup, green tea, ginger and olive oil are some great options that can help you fight pain from the inside out. Minimizing or eliminating caffeine and alcohol are also things to consider (hard to do, but worth the effort). Upping your water intake and staying hydrated are critical for flushing toxins from your system, producing feel good hormones and neurotransmitters, regulating temperature, keeping joints lubricated, keeping headaches at bay, and reducing the frequency and intensity of muscle cramps.

The most challenging part of incorporating these strategies is getting started. Keep your daily goals simple - walk for 5 minutes, meditate with an app for 2 minutes, eat 10 blueberries, drink 3 glasses of water a day. Write it down, track it, achieve it, make new goals, and repeat. If you need help, support, or guidance on managing your chronic pain, you can email our registered physiotherapist Audrey De Jong at audrey@movetherapeutics.ca and she would be happy to answer any of your questions.

CORNWALL, Ontario - The Cornwall Goslings Initiative have picked the three winners for their latest writing challenge.

This challenge for six to 14-year-olds challenged writers to think about Cornwall’s future.

“The topic is Cornwall’s Future 2041, a fictional writing challenge where kids will answer the question; what is our town like in twenty years from now? How have we changed as a community, how have we

stayed the same? How have parks/ schools/businesses/housing/etc altered in the last two decades? The sky’s the limit for what they want to write about, as long it pertains to the future of our city,” reads a statement from Cornwall Goslings.

After reading all the entries, the winners were Elliot (7), who has a vision of a very eco-friendly and technologically advanced city, without losing its sense of community.

Lydia, who has a vision of a better transportation infrastructure, and creating more exciting opportunities for tourism; and

K6j 1a1

Sarah, who has a vision of a growing population, and the addition of different types of restaurants, sports, schooling, to accommodate everyone.

The winners of the writing challenge each received a $50 Chapters gift card among many more prizes.

The Cornwall Goslings Initiative will be running a Reading Challenge in January, and another writing challenge shortly after that. For more information on these challenges h t t p s : / / w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / Elliot, one of the Cornwall Goslings Initiative CornwallGosling/ writing challenge winners.

CORNWALL, Ontario – “Spark” Program has returned for its second year and has now paired with Akwesasne to create new local tourism industries.

The program was created by the Ontario Tourism Innovation Lab, a non-profit organization that searches for new ways to promote Ontario’s tourism. This was Akwesasne’s first year added to this event with Cornwall and SDG Counties. There are currently 13 regions holding this program, with Akwesasne, Cornwall and SDG Counties as one of the 13.

“Cornwall is proud to be part of such a

collaborative program like Spark, which is aimed at bringing new tourism ideas to life in our region,” said Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant.

“I am eager to see the 2021 winners develop their initiatives and add to our region’s standing as a great visitor destination.”

His sentiments resonated with Mohawk Council of Akwesasne Grand Chief Abram Benedict.

“Akwesasne, Cornwall & SDG Counties ‘Spark’ Program is a very exciting project that encourages creativity, inclusivity and participation from all of our communities. These mentorships and grant programs have the potential to create long-lasting business relationships that will of course benefit all

individuals but most importantly, all communities involved. Congratulations to our two finalists, I look forward to seeing these visions come to life.”, said Benedict.

Individuals, businesses, and non profit organizations were asked to send their tourism ideas for consideration, where the three winners will each be given a $3,000 grant, a three-month tourism industry mentorship, as well as access to a support network of tourism innovator entrepreneurs, and leader.

On December 7, the top six applicants were invited to present their new tourism ideas at a virtual Finalists’ Pitch Sessions for a judging panel of partner representatives and a tourism entrepreneur from outside the

ARIES: Even if you didn’t anticipate it, festivi­ties will take place at your home and you’ll have a lot of preparations to make.

You’ll need to be delicate and tactful when dealing with a few of your relatives.

TAURUS: You’ll put on some kind of show.

At work, you’ll receive recognition for an achievement. When it comes to matters of the heart, remember that it’s a magi­cal time for marriage proposals.

GEMINI: Even if you try to stick to a budget, your generosity will prevail and you’ll spoil your loved ones. You could be faced with an unexpected expense. Fortuna­tely, there’ll be plenty of extra work to go around.

CANCERVYou’ll be the person who puts a smile on everyone’s face. Use caution when running errands. You might consider buying a new car as a Christmas present to your­ self.

LEO: You might make it to the end of the year feeling exhausted. A healthy diet should help you regain your strength and give you the energy you need to enjoy your time off.

VIRGO: You’ll suggest new activities to do as a family over the holiday season. You’ll book plane tickets, a hotel and excursions at the last minute so that you can spend quality time together in an enchanting environment.

LIBRA: Avoid waiting until the last minute to get things done, both at work and in terms of your holiday preparations. It’s a good idea to let loose, enjoy the mo­ment and accept that not everything can be perfect.

SCORPIO: At work, you’ll participate in a gift ex­change. Among your family, you’ll be surprised to find that everyone has ac­ cepted your invitation and your home will be packed for the holidays.

SAGITTARIUS: At work, your boss will ask a lot of you just before you’re set to take time off. A lot of responsibilities will fall on your shoulders, and some of the people who were supposed to help won’t be around.

CAPRICORN: Take a break from your re­ sponsibilities to sort out the concerns that are on your mind. This will leave you with a clear head to have fun and go on an adven­ ture. You’ll give more attention to your rela­ tionship.

AQUARIUS: Against all odds, your boss will give you new responsibilities that look suspi­ ciously like a promotion. You’ll get the raise to go with it. The path to personal and pro­ fessional success, however, is still hidden from you.

PISCES: If you’re single, you’ll be surprised to meet someone new at this time of year.

Your people skills will help you find a solu­ tion to a family conflict and ensure harmony throughout the holidays.

Making the choice to support your local economy by buying local makes sense all year round, but it is especially important to do at Christmas time.

Buying local allows you to give unique gifts while making sure that the businesses run by your neighbours can stay alive. Hostess gifts, such as baskets of delicious local products or items created by local artisans,

are particularly charming. And when entertaining, you’ll be sure to impress your guests by featuring the tastiest and most unusual products of your area. By doing this you’ll be encouraging local producers and limiting the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the transportation of products.

Buying local is also advantageous in the family gift-giving department. Just think about the prohibitive price of the gas you’d need to go on shopping trips to the big malls and far-away city centres, never mind having

to return to these places to exchange unsuitable gifts. Indeed, for clothing, choose gifts from stores closer to home so that if the size isn’t right or your teenager doesn’t agree with your tastes in style, you won’t have to go far to remedy the problem once the holidays are over.

Promoting the prosperity of local businesses also means maintaining employment levels or even creating new jobs for yourself, your neighbours, and young adults. When you support the businesses that make the goods you buy and the stores that sell them, it means lower unemployment rates, greater purchasing power, and a more tightly knit community.

So, as Christmas approaches, give your community and yourself the most beautiful gift of all: buy local.
