Local cadet wins public speaking competition

Local club wants to help you move forward in 2022

The Air Cadet League of Canada- Ontario Provincial Committee held its annual Effective Speaking competition on Sunday 27 March 2022, albeit virtually this year. The winner of this year’s competition was Sgt Zoë NoortSigurdson, an air cadet with the 325 Cornwall Kiwanis Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron.

Her prepared speech was on Canadian history and her self-reflection on the importance of remembrance. She will be advancing to the provincial level competition in April.

Sgt Noort-Sigurdon’s speech reflected on forces members’ grave sites, and the importance of remembering those who served.

“Some of these brave heroes have been resting in these cemeteries so long, they no longer have friends or families to come by and visit- someone needs to remember them, what they’ve done for us” reads part of her speech.

The competition saw cadets from air cadet squadrons in Wing 5 compete with a 5-6 minute prepared speech and a 2-3 minute impromptu speech. Wing 5 covers seven squadron from within the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Area. Due to the virtual nature of the competition, cadets were also groups with Wing 8 cadets, which encompasses squadrons from Oshawa and east to Gananoque. The organizer of the competition was Maj (ret’d) Lewis Jenkins who had members of local Toastmasters clubs volunteer as judges, while also providing valuable feedback.

CORNWALL – It’s been a long two years of pandemic protocols, your best fitness intentions are fading, and you’re seriously concerned if you’re going to be able to accomplish all those goals you set your mind to at the stroke of midnight back on New Year’s Eve. Or maybe, you’re still going strong but want to ensure you stay on track.

The Cornwall Multisport Club could be just the ticket for you to be able to move forward in 2022 to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Home to approximately 200 members, from Ironman athletes to Learn-to-Run graduates, the multisport club offers a multitude of events, training opportunities, social activities, plus ways to connect with like-minded individuals and families. While many people might associate it only with running, numerous cycling and swimming events ensure it maintains a well-rounded approach to fitness.

“While our club is home to a number of stellar athletes who’ve participated in high-profile events like the Boston Marathon or various Ironman competitions,” said Peter Moody, club president, “our primary goal is to help encourage people to become more physically active while enjoying themselves.

Club events kick-offed with the popular Family Day Run earlier this year. The next gathering will be the Spring Social, which will take place at Schnitzels after the St. Lawrence

Sgt Zoë Noort-Sigurdson delivering her prepared speed during the Air Cadet League of Canada- Ontario Provincial Committee Wing 5 Effective Speaking competition on Sunday 27 March 2022.

Sgt Noort-Sigurdson was the winner of the competition, and will move to the provincial level competition.

The Effective Speaking competition is an annual event hosted by the Air Cadet League of Canada, with local, provincial, and national levels of competition. Cadets are provided topics from which they can select and prepare their speech. The purpose of the effective speaking competition is to provide opportunity for air cadets to find their voice and build self-confidence through patience, instruction, and competition.

In the Bible, the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:17–21: “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep (died) in Christ are lost.

If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead!” Just as Jesus rose from the grave, all who believe in Him will be raised to new life as well.

Bible scholar, John S. Whale said, “Belief in the Resurrection is not an appendage to the Christian faith; it is the Christian faith.” Without the Resurrection, Jesus’s claim in John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”– doesn’t make any sense. Several historical witnesses also prove that Jesus’ earliest followers were extremely serious about their devotion to Him, His teachings, and His resurrection.

For example, in Annals of Imperial Rome, written around 116 AD, the Roman senator and historian Tacitus wrote about how Emperor Nero burned Rome in 64 AD, then blamed it on “the persons commonly called Christians, who were hated... Christus, their founder, was put to death by Pontius Pilate.”

www.firstbaptistcornwall.ca

Others, such as the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (93 AD) wrote about Jesus and His followers as well. Before Tacitus wrote his history, a Roman governor, Pliny the Younger, complained in a letter about how the early Christians he persecuted and punished would “sing hymns to Christ as to a god.” (c. 91 AD) Dr. Paul Maier, former professor of Ancient History at the University of Western Michigan called this “positive evidence from a hostile source.” These and other ancient writers confirm that something huge and transformative took place in the followers of Jesus. We can see how the Roman leaders testified to the fact that the earliest followers of Jesus, who knew him personally, did not consider Him to be just an ordinary man. Many people in history have died for what they truly believed as a result of what others told them. These apostles willingly gave their lives for what they saw with their own eyes, rather than deny the Resurrection. What a transformation had come about in the hearts of the disciples! He is risen indeed!

Have you recently retired? Are you looking for someone to share your life with? Fortunately, falling in love has no age limit. Here are three tips to help you find that special someone.

1. Adjust your expectations: As you get older, love can manifest in unanticipated ways. Indeed, what you want and value in a relationship is likely to change. Therefore, make sure you adjust your expectations. Your new relationship is likely to be different from prior ones.

2. Keep an open mind: Whether you live alone or in a retirement home, the key to finding a romantic partner is to stay open to meeting new people. For instance, when running errands, be willing to strike up a conversation with a stranger.

3. Step outside your comfort zone: Don’t be afraid to use a dating site, consult a marriage agency or attend organized activities and outings for

Affordability in housing, childcare, and driving is the foremost concern for local residents.

This month, the Ontario Government took steps to address these issues.

Last week, the Government inked a transformative $13.2 billion agreement with the Federal Government to lower childcare costs to only $10 per day per child.

Ontario worked for months to negotiate the best possible deal for families, eventually securing a deal that would save families about $12,000 per child by 2023.

From the beginning, the Premier simply asked the Prime Minister for the same deal afforded to Quebec, as he felt that the residents of Ontario deserve nothing less.

Under this new plan, we will create 86,000 new childcare spaces in the province, staffed by thousands of new early childhood workers.

Earlier in the month, I joined Mayor Grant in announcing a $3.8 million grant to add 16 affordable units to a new 48-unit apartment building on Pitt Street North.

The project will also include several accessible apartments.

Earlier this year, I attended a sod-turning for a 77-unit building at Ninth and McConnell.

The province provided $4.2 million from the Social Services Relief Fund and the Ontario Housing Priorities

358582

3 MINUTES WITH THE MPP

Initiative to include 15 affordable apartments in the project.

Since taking Government, Cornwall and SDG have received $22.5 million in Provincial funding and $1.4 million in Federal/Provincial funding for housing and social services.

Our Government eliminated the renewal fees for license plate stickers to make life more affordable, including for drivers.

Motorists will be reimbursed for fees paid since March 2020, as long as they have no outstanding traffic fines.

And finally, with warmer weather around the corner, the Government wants to encourage residents to take a vacation in our beautiful province.

To help our tourism operators recover, we are providing a Staycation Tax Credit that will allow residents to claim 20 percent of eligible accommodation expenses, up to $1,000 for an individual and $2,000 for a family.

The tax credit will be returned with the filing of your 2022 income tax return, even if you don’t owe any income tax.

With costs increasing, these measures are just some of the programs to help put money back in your pockets.

SDG Butterflyway Project kicks off 2022 season in Cornwall, SDG & Akwesasne What’s the buzz around town?

The SDG Butterflyway Project is kicking off their second season in Cornwall, SDG & Akwesasne.

The David Suzuki Foundation’s Butterflyway Project is a volunteer-led movement that is growing habitat, education and advocacy for bees and butterflies in neighbourhoods throughout Canada.

Last year’s initiative was spearheaded by Christina Enright and Carole Fiddler, who are now joined by Katherine Wells.

“We had amazing momentum last year with over 300 locals joining our group,” says Butterflyway Mentor Christina Enright.

“We can’t wait to continue making positive impacts for pollinators this year.”

Wild pollinators such as butterflies, native bees, moths, dragonflies, and even hummingbirds are crucial to human survival.

Climate change, development, and widespread pesticide and herbicide use are compromising their habitat and food sources.

The Butterflyway Project encourages people to step up efforts to help pollinators find food and shelter by creating new ‘pollinator patches’ with native flowers, plants, shrubs, or trees critical to their lifecycles.

Last year, the SDG Butterflyway Project helped seed and naturalize over 1000 feet of rural property, collaborated on several pollinator gardens, and partnered with

South Nation Conservation Authority to present the webinar, “Nature’s Best Hope” with Dr. Doug Tallamy.

The group isn’t slowing down in 2022.

“We’ve gone into full gear this spring with education, advocacy and public engagement” says Butterflyway Ranger Katherine Wells. “We are excited to meet the public face to face at our first event, Eco Day, on April 23.”

The local Butterflyway group will continue to work in partnership with South Nation Conser vation Authority, Raisin Region Conversation Authority, and other community partners on exciting 2022 initiatives including a Bat House Workshop and participating in the 2nd annual Eco Day in Cornwall.

The SDG Butterflyway Project will also continue to ask local Councils to take decisive action in supporting pollinators within their community.

“Action by municipal partners and leaders is key and necessary to help pollinators and a sustainable environment. The SDG Butterflyway Project is ready to assist and provide guidance in any way we can,” added Ms. Enright.

For more information on the SDG Butterflyway Project, or to register your pollinator garden, please visit them on Facebook or reach out to them at sdgbutterflyway@gmail.com.

History Comes Alive in Cornwall #Cornwall1784

Experience history as it comes to life! On May 20-22, Lamoureux Park will be the site of a celebration commemorating how Ontario began in 1784. Created and organized by the SDG Historical Society through the Cornwall Community Museum, three days of historical displays and cultural performances will fill the park. The festival will bring together over two hundred and fifty reenactors, equipment, artifacts, and activities representing three cultures that played significant roles in the area’s early history: the Indigenous peoples (Mohawks), the French-Canadians, and the Loyalists (British, Scottish, and Palatines).

This is a “rain or shine” activity that is free to the public and open to all.

Few people travelling down Water Street in Cornwall realize they are passing by one of Ontario and Canada’s key historic sites. On the banks of the St. Lawrence River near what is now Lamoureux Park, two hundred and thirty-eight years ago a group of exiles from the United States landed to make a new home.

These United Empire Loyalists had sided with Great Britain in the American Revolution.

They left behind their homes and belongings in Upper New York State to stay loyal to the Crown and move to the wilderness of Canada.

It was here that the Loyalists had been granted land by the King for their service.

The group of five hundred settlers landed that June day in 1784 led by Sir John Johnson and made up of officers, soldiers, and their

families. They faced a forested wilderness and years of hardship but from there, the roots of what would become Ontario began and Canada started its settlement of Upper Canada and beyond.

An exciting weekend of events is planned for this celebration. Lamoureux Park becomes a historic military encampment with one camp representing the Loyalists of 1784 and another one, the War of 1812.

OGRA conference Members of South Stormont Council and staff attended the Ontario Good Roads Association (OGRA) conference in Toronto this week and were able to showcase the South Stormont Waterfront Development Plan to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. The meeting provided a full review of concept plans for future park development and options for potential land acquisition.

NICK SEEBRUCH

Hello readers. It is bittersweet that I share with you the news today that I have taken a new position and am no longer the Editor at Cornwall Seaway News.

I have accepted a new job elsewhere, but don’t worry Seaway News, as always, is in good hands. Seaway News will continue to share the stories of the lives of those who live in this community, share with them the news that matters, and keep local politicians and other public figures to account.

Seaway News was my first real job out of university, and I am so appreciative for the amazing experiences I have had here in my nearly six years and the outstanding people I’ve been able to work with.

Readers, to paraphrase a famous pro-wrestler who I was a great fan of growing up: at 26 I started coming into each and every one of your homes in the Seaway News print edition, and online, every week. Now at 32 and realizing that I won’t be coming into your homes in the paper every week will take some getting used to.

I have been privileged through my work to meet the amazing people who make up this community and tell their stories. I grew up in this community, having lived most of my life not too far away from here in Martintown, but thanks to this job, I have found a new love for Cornwall, SD&G, and Akwesasne.

I have been able to see that there are some truly remarkable people who live here who have done truly remarkable things. Whether they be the service club members, who do so much for this community in terms of fundraising and event organizing, or the non-profits, like Carefor

Hospice, who help people through the most difficult time of their lives, or just the single individual who started making masks for their grandkids, then made enough to help keep hundreds of their neighbours safe during the pandemic, there are some very special people who live here amongst us mere mortals.

I have been lucky enough to bare witness to some of the most significant events in the history of our community. I was there when communities throughout SDG fought to keep their community schools from closing in 2016.

Those were my first few months on the job. At that time I met some amazing community organizers who not only saved their schools, but went on to join their local township councils and are still making a difference in rural education today. I felt the heat the night one of the worst fires in the history of Cornwall burned down a city block on Montreal Rd., including the original home of Poirier Furniture.

I was there the night Cornwall made history by electing Bernadette Clement the first Black female mayor in the history of the province of Ontario who has now gone on to represent that province and our community in the Canadian Senate. I covered the arrival of the passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship as they became quarantine patients at the Nav Centre, the City’s first experience with the COVID-19 pandemic, but not the last.

In the summer of 2020, I covered and marched in Cornwall’s solidarity Black Lives Matter protest, one of if not the largest protest in the city’s history. Then last summer I witnessed another march, this time in solidarity with the Indigenous community as they

demanded answers after the graves of 215 children were discovered at an Indigenous residential school in Kamloops, BC. Truly no other job let’s you shake hands with Hall of Fame boxers, speak to famous musicians, meet Premiers and Prime Ministers. I am truly grateful for it all.

I am most grateful however for the people I have worked with for these past six years. I want to thank Rick Shaver for giving me this opportunity and having faith in my work. I want to thank Jennifer, Colleen, Kim, Guy, Bill and Steve for all of the help and support they have given me over the years as co-workers and all of my former co-workers who have been in and out of here over the years.

I want to thank my partner, Kelly Bergeron, who has been with me throughout almost this entire ride, including the late nights at council, the weekends working covering fairs or other events, and even working on vacation to ensure that the news continued to be published.

Finally, I want to thank you, the readers. You

have motivated me and have also kept me accountable over the years. All I ever wanted was to ensure I did a good job. That Seaway News was the best place for members of our community to read quality content and be informed. I love this community, and I am thankful that my new job is remote, meaning that I will continue to be able to live in it. I want to stay involved and not lose connection with all of the amazing people I have met through my work at Seaway News.

Cornwall is a growing city and is on the verge of what I believe is a truly great future. My only advice is this: embrace diversity, reject those who say things can’t be done without even trying. Reject cliques and nepotism, especially when they are used to protect the mediocre and unqualified. Embrace the fact that the best years for this city are ahead of it and finally, be proud to say that you are from Cornwall, Ontario.

Thank you. It has been a privilege and an honour.

accidentally-set fire. Its concrete base milking stalls became the footing for a utility shed.

During my decade stay, I added an attached woodshed, plus other useful features.

Imagine Yente, Anatevka’s eighty-year-old matchmaker, taking a stroll along the main street of the city she was last in as a teenager. Be it Cornwall’s Pitt Street, or the main drag of the Eastern Ontario towns such as Prescott, Brockville or Kingston, she wouldn’t see many familiar businesses. The drug store’s now a pot shop or a pet shop, the hardware has become an electronics outlet, the newspaper’s office has become only virtual, the building now occupied by a Tim’s. That’s where reporters access Wi-Fi to file their stories.

And now, here’s your challenge. If you’ve been around the block as long as Volkswagen has been turning out vehicles, my assignment

A BORN-AGAIN LOCAL LANDMARK – Cornwall’s central library was once a federal building. A fine building with an excellent location and a new lease on life.

Of transition, not tradition Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

In the musical ‘Fiddler on the Roof’, Tevye, the Anatevka dairyman, sings of “Tradition!”

This week is not so much about tradition, but transition of architecture. Here are some examples.

Cornwall’s post office and Canada Customs office, at the northwest corner of Pitt and Sydney, has become a magnificent library. The former tourist information bureau near the Brookdale roundabout is now an upscale restaurant. St. George’s Catholic elementary school in Long Sault is being transformed into a seniors’ residence. Martintown elementary on Nine Mile Road is now a doggie day care.

The building at the southeast corner of Pitt and Second has done a disappearing act, morphing into a customer-friendly parking lot for Bijouterie Pommier Jewellers. On a far less constructive note, look at what Mr. Putin and his band of conscripts are doing throughout Ukraine.

My home from 2001-2011 was built as a log cabin in 1890. It had many owners over the years, resulting in an intriguing if-youdidn’t-get it-right the first time, try, try again evolution. A north side sunroom was added, as was an east side attached garage. Then, a second-storey was added. The sunroom was eventually torn down, another built, but on the more appropriate south side. The attached garage was replaced by one on the north side.

A generous width hallway now joins the house and new garage. The nearby barn was enlarged, but it was destroyed by an

OPINION

Clement pleased to be on Ruskies’ ‘black list’ Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

This is one of those moments when a punch in the face feels good.

At least that is the case with Bernadette Clement, the former Cornwall mayor, and 86 of her fellow Canadian Senators who have been declared persona non grata by the Russian government.

They join a long list (and growing) of Western politicians placed on the evil empire’s “black list” for condemning the invasion of Ukraine.

As one black-listed politician pointed out, a visit to Russia was taken off most bucket lists long before the invasion of Ukraine.

Three of the 90 senators who sit in the Red Chamber did not make the latest black list.

However, Sen. Percy Downe was quick to point out that he has been black listed by the Russian government since 2017. It was in response to a speech he gave condemning Putin’s ruthless regime. He called the Russian government a “criminal organization masquerading as a government.”

Another omitted senator, Tony Dean, told CTV News that he was “writing (to the Russian embassy) to complain” for not being put on the list.

As for her name appearing on the black list, Clement said it is a list (sort of an honour roll) that she is proud of be on.

“I don’t mind being on that list ... not one bit,” she said.

If you are a politician and not on the list, get on the phone to the Russian embassy. ************

Our recent mention of St. Michael’s College and how the hockey team, the Majors, almost made it to Cornwall in 2000 before school alumnus Eugene Melynk got involved, brought back fond memories of the school and its hockey team for former city councillor and mayor Dick Aubry.

In the early-1950s Aubry, who hails from Nakina in Northern Ontario, was among the 200 or so student boarders who came from across Canada.

He served as the hockey team’s statistician, which meant he got to travel with the team and get to know the players, some of whom had post-Majors National Hockey League careers.

Dick Duff, Noel Price, Frank Mohavolich, Bill Dineen and Jim Gregory among them.

He became good friends with Duff, whose brother Les was captain, Dineen and Gregory.

He wrote the obituaries for Dineen (2016) and Gregory (2019) in the school newspaper, The Blue Banner.

St. Mike’s, a Maple Leafs’ farm team, was unique in that it put scholastic achievement on the same page as athletic prowess. St. Mike’s players left the school with a high school diploma.

THIS AND THAT One of the world’s most useless organizations has to be the United Nations (UN). The name is an oxymoron. Russia sits on the security council and until last week it was a member of the UN’s human rights panel.

Dozens of UN members – South Africa, India and China included - refused to vote in favour of kicking Russia off the panel. ... Gun violence in the United States claimed 20,889 lives in 2021, an all-time high. In the first three months of this year, gun violence claimed 5,400 lives, which puts the country on course for a new all-

time high.

THIS MONTH IN 1969 – A fire in the cell block of the 107-year-old Cornwall police station caused minor smoke damage and forced the department to find temporary quarters in the Cornwall Jail for one prisoner. The fire started in a trash can. ... Cornwall Royals veteran trainer Ray Moquin was recovering from a kidney transplant. He was just the second patient at Kingston General Hospital to undergo the rare operation. ... A delegation of residents in the Princess and Susan streets area of Riverdale complained to city council of speeding in the neighbourhood and lack of sidewalks, paved streets and storm sewers. ... Domtar announced a $1.8 million expansion at its Cornwall plant. The addition to the finishing product facility would create 60 new jobs. ...

Cornwall Warehousing Ltd. said it would build a 40,000-square-foot warehouse on 13 acres it purchased on Boundary Road. .... Universal Terminals Ltd. planned to construct a 5,200,000 gallon fuel storage facility on land leased from the federal government near Cornwall Harbour. The new facility would bring storage capacity on the site to 8,250,000 gallons. ... St. Michael’s Academy would hold its final re-union on May 19. The private girls’ school, opened in 1952, was closing at the end of the school year. ... The Ottawa and District Hockey Association (ODHA) granted Cornwall Royals permission to play in the new Quebec Junior Hockey League, a combination of the Provincial and Montreal Metro junior leagues.

The Royals played the previous season in the Metro league after leaving the Central Junior Hockey League. Meanwhile, there was a report that a group of city businessmen would take over operation of the junior team. The group

included Bunny Markell, Gus Lebrun, Luke Emard, Paul Emard and Norm Baril . ... Cornwall Wildcats of the Inter-provincial Senior B Lacrosse League signed seven more players – Rick Desrosiers, Rick Fawthrop, Jack McLennan, Brian and Mark McAlear, Rheal Legault and Ray Silmser. ... Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry County Board of Education said it needed to replace 16 teachers who were either retiring or leaving the board. ... Local lacrosse and hockey legend John Denneny was winner of the Jacques Richard Memorial Trophy as the city’s outstanding sports personality. ... ... Le Petit Zappia, 147 Montreal Rd., offered free delivery on orders of $1 or more. ... Interest on savings accounts was 5 1/2 per cent. ... In a dispute with Tommy and Dick Smothers over censorship of on-air material, CBS axed the Smothers Brothers Show.

TRIVIA The Kingston trio ruled the pop charts in the late 1950s and one of the group’s hit songs was about a guy called Charlie who couldn’t get off the Municipal Transit Authority (MTA) subway train because he didn’t have an extra nickel. The trio sang that Charlie was riding the subway train beneath of the streets of which city: 1) New York, 2) Los Angeles, 3) Boston, 4) Dallas, 5) Cleveland?

TRIVIA ANSWER CBC weather personality – back before political correction took hold he was a weatherman – Percy Saltzman would wrap up his evening report with a flip of the chalk. He joined CBC TV in 1952 as Canada’s first English-language TV weatherman. He retired from television with Global TV in 1982.

He died in 2007. He was 91.

The CMC Board awarded an honorary membership to Gera Leblanc, a long serving and deserving CMC member, who has made meaningful contributions to the preservation and maintenance of Cooper Marsh for 25 years.

A development proposal for a campground on a site adjacent to the east boundary of Cooper Marsh still requires a satisfactory site control plan and answers to questions and concerns from the provincial Ministry of

the Environment, Conservation and Parks.

As reported earlier, in July 2021, the Township of South Glengarry Council approved a zoning amendment that could allow a campsite development to proceed in spite of several investigations that outlined concerns and despite receiving 68 formal written submissions from the public, all opposed to the zoning amendment.

CMC is now completing the construction of two large wildlife diorama cabinets with taxidermy specimens and painted backgrounds at the Visitors’ Centre in Cooper Marsh.

start to address salary deficiencies. There is a misconception that even $3 per hour does not bring a PSW salary anywhere close to that of an RPN. Although true in a hospital setting, this is absolutely not true in LTC. The wage difference between PSWs and RPNs is often about $2 per hour, making a $3 increase for PSWs very significant. Incentives that target one group but not others in facilities that have to work as a team to function (nursing, dietary, housekeeping, maintenance) really just create division in an already stressful environment.

Registered Practical Nurses require a yearly

license and declaration that we are in fact working under this title. The problem for many is that it would be unethical to work as a PSW rather than as an RPN just to make more money.. Many of the tasks performed by each role overlap in LTC. As a licensed professional, we have to ask ourselves, do we give up the licensed role for the more lucrative one, do we leave healthcare all together or do we stick it out and hope that someone will hear the cries of LTC RPNs?

LETTERSTOTHE EDITOR:

Citizens for Marshland Conservation Inc. organizations, including CMC, are now participating as members of the Cooper Marsh Biodiversity Working Group, led by the RRCA, to make plans for further restoration work at Cooper Marsh.

At the AGM, the members voted in favour of a revised purpose for CMC: to protect marshland for the benefit of the public by maintaining, protecting, conserving, and supporting stressed or threatened marshland including its flora and fauna. The CMC supports making a marshland visit an outdoor adventure in which the public can appreciate and learn from the diversity and abundance of the flora and fauna therein.

Ten Directors of the CMC were elected:

Hear the cries of LTC RPNs

Dear Editor: As a Registered Practical Nurse in Ontario, I find it alarming how little understanding of this role the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care seems to have. I have been an RPN working primarily in LTC for 14 years. The workload, expectations and appreciation for this role have changed drastically during this time. This was obvious before the pandemic exposed LTC’s short-comings to the world.

I have always felt secure in my permanent full-time job. Lately I find myself questioning if the ultimate goal is phase out the RPN in

Ontario? Recruitment is focused toward Personal Support Workers, even going so far as to offer subsidized training. One of the duties of RPNs is supervising PSWs, who will soon have received fast-tracked, subsidized education. This will be increasingly difficult as more and more RPNs leave LTC or nursing altogether. It is clear that the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care plans to add RN roles in the form of managerial positions. Nursing positions at any level will require fair compensation to retain quality staff.

Wage enhancements for PSWs certainly

Dear Editor, At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Cooper Marsh Conservators Inc. held on March 27, 2022, in Lancaster, Ontario, thirty members voted approval to change the name of the organization to Citizens for Marshland Conservation Inc. (CMC), recognizing that activities will no longer be solely focused on the Cooper Marsh and to remove any suggestion that it is associated with a political party.

The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) have taken an enhanced leadership role at Cooper Marsh and as a result of this increased involvement, CMC will have more time and resources to consider other marshland conser vation. Several local

In a job interview, discussing salary and benefits can be uncomfortable. However, if you’re looking for a position that fulfills your needs, you must be prepared to broach the topic. Here are three things to keep in mind when you do.

1. INDUSTRY STANDARDS First and foremost, you must have realistic expectations. Do some research and talk to other professionals in your industry to determine the average salary and benefits for your level of experience and the position you hope to fill. This will help you avoid making unreasonable demands or accepting an offer that’s not in line with current standards.

2. BENEFITS AND PERKS If the employer can’t offer you the salary you want, you can negotiate for other benefits. After all, the amount you’re paid is just one factor in cultivating a good quality of life. For example, you could negotiate to have flexible hours, work from home or use a company cellphone.

3. YOUR WORTH Rather than looking at what you can gain, put yourself in the employer’s shoes and think about what you can offer the organization. Knowing what you bring to

L’histoire s’anime à Cornwall (Cornouailles) #Cornwall1784 Voyez l’histoire prendre vie ! Du 20 au 22 mai, le parc Lamoureux sera le lieu d’une célébration commémorant les débuts de l’Ontario en 1784. créée et organisée par la SDG Historical Society par l’intermédiaire du Musée communautaire de Cornwall, trois jours d’expositions historiques et de spectacles culturels rempliront le parc. Le festival réunira plus de deux cent cinquante reconstitueurs, du matériel, des objets anciens et des activités représentant les trois cultures qui ont joué un rôle important dans les débuts de l’histoire de la région : les peuples autochtones (Mohawks), les Canadiens français et les Loyalistes (Britanniques, Écossais et Palatins). Il s’agit d’une activité “beau temps, mauvais temps “, gratuite pour le public et ouverte à tous.

Peu de gens qui descendent la rue Water à Cornwall savent qu’ils passent devant l’un des principaux sites historiques de l’Ontario et du Canada. Sur les rives du fleuve SaintLaurent, près de ce qui est aujourd’hui le parc Lamoureux, il y a deux cent trente-huit ans, un groupe d’exilés des États-Unis a débarqué pour se refaire une vie.

Ces loyalistes de l’Empire-Uni avaient pris parti pour la Grande-Bretagne lors de la Révolution américaine. Ils ont laissé derrière eux leurs maisons et leurs biens dans l’État du Haut New York pour rester fidèles à la Couronne et s’installer dans les régions sauvages du Canada. C’est là que les Loyalistes ont reçu des terres du roi pour leurs services.

Le groupe de cinq cents colons débarqua ce jour de juin 1784, dirigé par Sir John Johnson et composé d’officiers, de soldats et de leurs familles. Ils ont dû faire face à une nature rude et boisée et à des années d’épreuves, mais c’est à partir de là que les racines de ce qui allait devenir l’Ontario ont commencé et que le Canada, colonisant ainsi, graduellement le Haut-Canada puis au-delà.

Un week-end passionnant d’événements est prévu pour cette célébration. Le parc Lamoureux devient un campement militaire

historique avec un camp représentant les Loyalistes de 1784 et un autre, la guerre de 1812. Des reconstitueurs montreront la vie telle qu’elle aurait été il y a deux cents ans et proposeront des divertissements tout au long du week-end, notamment des manœuvres militaires. Les enfants du public pourront se déguiser en uniformes de soldat britannique et s’exercer avec des mousquets en bois. Le régiment des Voltigeurs du Québec participera également à l’événement en offrant un service bilingue aux visiteurs. Un crieur public francophone vêtu de l’uniforme militaire bleu français annoncera les événements, de même qu’un crieur public britannique vêtu de sa resplendissante tunique rouge.

Les célébrations de Cornwall 1784 commenceront vendredi par une immersion dans la culture canadienne-française avec une soirée de musique, de danse et d’artisans partageant leur fier héritage au Canada et dans la région. Une soirée d’antan canadienne conclura la journée avec de la musique et de la danse par divers artistes de l’Est de l’Ontario et du Québec.

Le samedi, le village du patrimoine ouvrira ses portes. L’organisateur Jean-Yves Lemoine, conservateur du Musée communautaire de Cornwall, est extrêmement satisfait du nombre de groupes historiques, généalogiques et culturels qui prendront part au Village. Des groupes de tout SDG seront installés avec des informations et des démonstrations de leurs traditions d’artisanat, d’art, de danse et de musique. La chorale Les Filles du Roi, en costumes d’époque, se produira pendant le week-end et tiendra un stand d’exposition. Les autres groupes comportent notamment, Généalogie et archives St-Laurent, SD&G Historical Society, North Native American Travelling College, Association des Communautés francophones de l’Ontario de SDG, Centre Charles-EmileClaude, Sir John Johnson Manor House, Loyal Orange Lodge, Glengarry Pioneer Museum Dunvegan, Glengarry Nor’Wester’s and Loyalist Museum, Friends of Crysler Farm

Battlefield, Bishop’s House Glengar r y Fe n c i b l e s Tr u s t , St-Raphaels, South Dundas Historical Society, Glengarr y Historical Society, Ontario Power Generations, HeritagePatrimoine Cornwall, History of Railway in SD&G, United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada Dominion Branch et St-Lawrence Branch.

Le samedi soir, les Glengarr y Highland Games présenteront un avant-goût des Jeux avec un mini-tattoo mettant en vedette des corps de cornemuses, les célèbres MacCulloch Dancers, des violoneux écossais et de grands spectacles celtiques.

Samedi et dimanche, la culture mohawk sera à l’honneur avec le Nor th Native American Traveling College (NNATC) d’Akwesasne qui présentera une exposition tournante sur la fabrication de paniers, la fabrication de crochets et de tambours, les herbes médicinales et le processus de nettoyage des fourrures. Une troupe itinérante composée de chanteurs et de danseurs interprétera et expliquera les chansons et leur signification culturelle, et fera participer la foule à la célébration en se joignant à la danse.

Ce week-end de célébration est la première fois que les trois cultures se réunissent à Cornouailles pour partager leur patrimoine.

Que vous vous intéressiez à l’histoire, que vous souhaitiez profiter d’un divertissement

de première classe ou simplement d’une journée à l’extérieur à flâner parmi les expositions, vous devez être à Cornwall les 20, 21 et 22 mai. Le meilleur atout de ce week-end est qu’il est gratuit. La ville de Cornwall, le TDF de Cornwall et de nombreuses entreprises et organisations locales ont rendu possible la célébration de Cornwall 1784 grâce à des dons généreux.

Au plaisir de vous voir au parc et de voir l’histoire prendre vie. Pour plus d’informations et un programme complet, rendez-vous sur l’événement Facebook https://fb.me/ e/1MpEfsX6M ou par recherche avec le hashtag #Cornwall1784.

plus de 60 ans atteintes de conditions médicales sous-jacentes devraient envisager une quatrième dose aussi tôt que 3 mois après leur troisième dose. » Comment prendre rendez-vous pour la quatrième dose Le portail de vaccination provincial ne permet pas aux personnes qui le désirent, de prendre rendez-vous pour une quatrième dose d’un vaccin contre la COVID-19 trois mois après avoir reçu leur troisième dose.

Elles doivent appeler l’InfoCentre provincial pour la vaccination au 1 833 943-3900 pour prendre rendez-vous ou recevoir leur vaccin en se présentant dans une clinique sans rendez-vous.

D’un autre côté, les personnes qui désirent recevoir une quatrième dose après un intervalle de cinq mois ou plus à la suite de la troisième, peuvent prendre rendez-vous via le portail de vaccination provincial à https:// covid-19.ontario.ca/rendezvous-vaccin/ ou l’InfoCentre provincial pour la vaccination au 1 833 943-3900. Les personnes qui ont besoin d’aide ou d’accommodements spéciaux peuvent appeler le BSEO au 1 800 2677120. Les doses de rappel sont aussi disponibles dans les pharmacies participantes, ou chez votre fournisseur de soins.

Quelques membres de la paroisse posent fièrement avec des enveloppes de dons ainsi que des promesses au montant de 24 415$ devant le thermomètre qui indique des résultats encourageants dès le début de la campagne dans le cadre de la levée de fonds dont l’objectif est de 200 000$.

Alors que l’Ontario entre dans sa sixième vague de la pandémie, le Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO) incite toutes les personnes admissibles à recevoir une quatrième dose du vaccin contre la COVID-19 dès que possible.

La Province a annoncé la disponibilité d’une quatrième dose d’un vaccin contre la COVID-19 aux personnes de 60 ans et plus ainsi qu’aux membres des Premières Nations, aux inuits et aux métis ainsi qu’aux membres de leur ménage non autochtones âgés de 18 ans et plus dès le 7 avril.

Bien que la quatrième dose soit généralement recommandée 5 mois après la troisième dose, les personnes admissibles peuvent la demander à n’importe quel moment, 3 mois après la troisième dose. Le BSEO recommande donc que les individus de 70 ans et plus, ainsi que les personnes de 60 ans et plus atteintes de maladies chroniques reçoivent une quatrième dose n’importe quand après trois mois, puisque la protection offerte par le vaccin diminue plus rapidement chez les personnes âgées. « Pour la plupart des individus de moins de 60 ans qui sont en bonne santé, l’efficacité du vaccin peut durer plus longtemps que chez les personnes plus âgées », dit le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste. « Plus une personne est âgée, moins longue est la protection que lui offre le vaccin.
