Char-Lan DHS and Laggan PS win award for Terry Fox fundraising efforts

has become a bit of a tradition at the schools – like the Terry Fox Run itself.

Char-Lan DHS, the school’s Terry Fox Run is usually an 8km journey, routed through the community. This fall, due to limitations created by COVID-19, the run took place on the school track and this school, too, organized additional fun activities to keep students motivated during the run time. Students set up an obstacle course, egg races, a bean bag toss and played music over a loud speaker, mixing in motivational shout outs.

“The Terry Fox Run is one of our biggest events at Char-Lan and people were really excited about it,” explains Grade 12 student Grace Eamer. “People are good to donate money.”

At Char-Lan DHS, they set a goal to raise $5 per student this year and they almost tri- Laggan Public School: Mae Ella Mccormick, Kees McIntosh, Greg Vander Byl, Daysen pled that amount.

When it comes to fundraising for the Terry Fox Foundation, Laggan Public School and Char-Lan District High School are leaders within the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB).

Each year the UCDSB honours two schools – one elementary and one secondary – with the Ted Kennedy Legacy Award for raising the most money per student for the Terry Fox Foundation. For 2021 fundraising, which took place in September, Laggan PS and Char-Lan DHS were the recipients. Laggan PS raised $7,709 (approximately $38 per student) and Char-Lan raised $4,902.30 (approximately $14 per student). In fact, winning this award

Cornwall Police Services Board levies increases in taxi fees Cornwall, ON - Prices on the consumer goods and services that we use tend to rise with the rate of inflation. That rate hovers between 1 and 2 percent a year, and people adjust their budgets and spending accordingly. However, since 2013, the taxis who serve the city have done so with rates frozen at 2013 dollars. On May 5, 2022, the Police Services Board, which regulates the taxi industry, voted to adjust the fee schedule. The current inflation rate is hitting between 3% and 5% but taxis have fallen behind and without Board intervention, the industry would simply collapse.

The price of keeping our valued cabs on the road will be an extra fifty cents start fee, from $3.50 to $4.00 starting May 19, 2022 and the rate per kilometre will go from $1.75 to $1.90 a kilometre at the same time. The Board recognizes that the public will experience a form of sticker shock that always accompanies a fee change, but Board Chair Elaine MacDonald points to the quality and professionalism of the service. The taxis have not complained but they simply cannot keep their cars safely maintained and operated in 2022 on 2013 dollars.

Even with these hikes, the adjusted rate will still not reach the inflationary increase over the last 9 years, which is 15%. Board Member Glen Grant said “We can’t ever let this situation happen again. Let’s consider instituting a regular review cycle that would see small and regular increases tied to the cost-of-living increase annually or biannually, but never again stretched out to a 9-year period.

It’s a wonder we have any cars still operating in the city.”

The Board is very appreciative of the research conducted by Staff Sergeant Robert Archambault for their deliberations. Among the facts he gathered were statistics on cost-of-living increases since 2013 and taxi fees in other municipalities such as Brockville, Belleville, North Bay, Peterborough and Kingston with which Cornwall is often compared. The start fees across the board in those communities started at $4.00 and ranged through $4.25 up to $4.50.

BMR Group opens its new store It is with great pride that BMR Group officially opened the Perkins Home Centre Ltd. Lumber & Building MaterialHardware store, which has been operating under the BMR banner since March 2022.

Last Fall, the Perkins family decided to look at some new buying group options. After more than 30 years with the same network, they felt a change would be beneficial for their customers and their staff.

Their priority was, a Canadian partner with strong roots in lumber, building material and hardware, where the customer is the priority. After reviewing the different options, they found BMR to be the best fit.

“I couldn’t be happier to be part of the large and strong BMR Group network. It is a well-established local brand in which I have tremendous confidence and, since the beginning, this company has given me great support,” says Roy Perkins, owner of the store.

“We are very proud to welcome Mr. Perkins and his company and to extend our network of dealers in Ontario. It will help us better meet the needs of our customers in this region and promote our brand. We look forward to working with Mr. Perkins and show him all the benefits of BMR Group,” adds Jonathan Gendreau, Vice President, Business Development, Marketing and Customer Experience.

The citizens of Cornwall and the area have access not only to the most common hardware products, but also to superior quality products available at competitive prices, highly personalized service, and great deals that will suit their needs.

The store grand opening was celebrated with the Mayor of Cornwall, BMR representatives, the store customers, the relatives and close friends of the owners, and all the staff.

National Nursing Week May 9-15, 2022

#NationalNursingWeek #WeAnswerTheCall #IKnowANurse #CNA2022

CCH Celebrates National Nursing Week National Nursing Week is May 9-15, 2022.

The theme this year is #WeAnswerTheCall and was developed by the Canadian Nurses Association to showcase the many roles that nurses play in a patient’s healthcare journey.

The pandemic brought to light the courage and commitment that nurses work under every day and demonstrated the important role that nurses play in the community.

There are nearly 600 nurses at CCH working in various departments.

Whether it be providing emergency care, critical care, mental health and addiction services or delivering babies, our nurses dedicate themselves to saving lives and providing exceptional, compassionate care to our patients.

“This past year, we have seen our nursing teams collaborate and step up to answer the call like never before. The Omicron wave of COVID-19 brought unprecedented levels of patient volumes and staff absenteeism at

CCH. In the face of this adversity, our nurses came together to support one another and ensure our patients would continue receiving exceptional care.

Words cannot express how thankful I am for their courage, commitment and dedication,” says Jeanette Despatie, CCH President and Chief Executive Officer.

Following several months of engagement with nursing staff, CCH is also unveiling its new Professional Practice Model (PPM) this week. The PPM is a tool that defines how nurses at CCH will practice, collaborate, communicate, and develop professionally to provide the highest-quality care in accordance with our organization’s mission and values.

“While developing the PPM, we heard from nursing teams that there are certain values that guide their practice and embody who they are as professionals. Specifically, they put patients first, empower their practice, care with their hearts, value relationships

Nurses on the Surgery Unit at CCH celebrate National Nursing Week 2022.

Edith’s story: Being a Big Sister, a journey of the past 38 years BIGS BLOG PIERRE-LUC BYHAM BIG BROTHERS/BIG SISTERS

We are in 1984. A colleague of Edith, a registered nurse, suggested her to join the

Big Brother Big Sisters agency in Cornwall to become a Big Sister. Edith decided to follow her colleague’s advice and became a Big Sister. This journey has now been lasting for 38 years. Through her journey with BBBS, Edith had a total of 8 Little Sisters. She is still in communication with her first Little Sister whose match started in 1984. Edith’s intention when she became a Big Sister was to make a difference in a child’s life. Little did she know that her Little Sisters would change hers as well. Asking Edith to identify a great

memory with one of her Little Sister is a difficult question as she has multiple good memories with each of them. But one that struck to mind is when one of her former Little Sister got married, she asked Edith’s husband to walk her down the aisle. Edith’s late husband was also a Big Brother involved with the agency. To Edith, her Little Sisters are part of her family. One of Edith’s Little Sister is now a mother of three and Edith is like a grandmother to them. She loves to visit them. One of Edith’s ‘’grandchildren’’ even interviewed

her to write an essay about her involvement as a Big Sister as part of a school project.

When we asked Edith what she would say to somebody who is considering becoming a Big Sister or a Big Brother, she immediately answers: ‘’Hurry up and sign up’’. Edith’s journey with her Little Sisters is still ongoing.

If you want to follow Edith’s advice and want to know more about becoming a Big Sister or a Big Brother, please call us at 613-933-8035 or email us at joel.gibeault@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca

Cornwall Electric customers rate increase effective July 1, 2022 Cornwall Electric rates will increase 1.53% on July 1, 2022. This will equate to an increase of $2.15 per month for a residential customer using 1000 kWh monthly.

Like all utilities in Ontario, the wholesale cost of electricity is passed through to customers. This cost represents approximately 80% of a customer’s total bill. Jackie Baird, Regional Manager of Cornwall Electric, says, “The longterm contract in place with Hydro Quebec is a wholesale contract, and it has and continues to allow Cornwall Electric rates to be one of the lowest in surrounding electrical utilities and will continue to provide rate stability of energy prices and reliable electricity well into the future for their customers. As well with this long-term agreement, Cornwall Electric purchase near 100% hydro energy and are committed to continue to focus on the future of renewable energy for customers.”

The remaining 20% of the customer’s bill represents the distribution charges. These

charges pay for operating expenses, system maintenance and equipment replacements to the Cornwall Electric electrical system to deliver safe and reliable supply of power to customers.

“Over the last number of years, Cornwall Electric has maintained fair and reasonable rates pursuant to the terms of its franchise, and rate adjustments have been in line with inflation. During the pandemic, Cornwall Electric has been committed to supporting its customers while at the same time addressing the need for the utility to remain financially healthy,” Baird said. “And Cornwall Electric remains focused on making decisions in the best interest of the customers.” She said, “Cornwall Electric recognized its role in working through COVID-19 with its customers and had taken other steps in order to provide relief during this difficult time”.

Typical customer bills fluctuate due to consumption changes related to temperature and

seasonal changes. We encourage our customers to consider equal payment plan (EPP) if making the same payment over the full year for each bill is easier for a customer’s budget.

Cornwall Electric continues to promote energy conservation in an effort to help customers reduce their energy bills.

We would also like to inform customers of our new e-billing platform, which is securely managed within our organization and offers customers the ability to view electronic bills, view and track electrical consumption and have instant access to their billing usage information. Details are available at: e-Billing Signup.

Cornwall Electric supplies electricity to approximately 25,365 customers in the City of Cornwall, South Glengarry, South Stormont, and the Ontario portion of the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FortisOntario, headquartered in Fort Erie with operations in distribution and transmission, serving approximately 66,000 customers in Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Cornwall, Gananoque and the Algoma District of Ontario.

FortisOntario is 100% owned by Fortis Inc. of St. John’s, Newfoundland. For more information on FortisOntario, please visit the corporate website at www.fortisontario.com

Let the mayor’s race begin SEAWAY NEWS The worst-kept secret in Cornwall politics was revealed last week – Coun. Justin Towndale will run for mayor in this year’s municipal election.

Towndale has been musing about a mayoral run almost since he was elected two terms ago to sit at the council table. He admitted as much during the official announcement of his mayoral candidacy on ‘I Begg Your Pardon’, a local television show produced by YourTV Cornwall.

“I didn’t think the timing was right,” Towndale said of running for mayor back in 2014. “I still had some training to do with the military, and there were some other factors at play.”

All of those concerns have now seemingly vanished, and Towndale is the first candidate in Cornwall to announce an intention to run for mayor.

Incumbent Glen Grant has not made a similar announcement. Grant was appointed as mayor this term, after Senator Bernadette Clement announced her decision to step down following her appointment to the Red Chamber.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Nick Wolochatiuk Dances with Words

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

That’s just the sound of Santa practising his Christmas schtick. However, with COVID, the housing shortage and increasing inflation of food and fuel costs, I thought it’s about time I’d share how there are still sources of refreshing doses of mirth, humour, laughter and joy.

Our closest form of happiness is outside our patio door. We call it the ‘bird feeder’. It’s not the jays, juncos and chickadees that quickly empty peanuts, black sunflower seeds and corn from our various feeding stations.

These bird foods are dispensed on varied devices hung several feet above the ground to discourage the squirrels (black brown grey and little red ones) and a little chipmunk who compete with each other to get at the foods.

They have devised an entertaining variety of acrobatic routines to get at the fare intended for the birds.

I use the Internet as another source of getting my ‘ha-has’ these days. Sites such as ‘Idiots at Work’, ‘Boating Fails’ and ‘Stunt

Elections are finicky beasts, and there’s still LOOOOOOTTTTSSS of time left until ballots are cast on Oct. 24. There could be half a dozen mayoral candidates by then, for all we know.

But now that Towndale has made his intentions clear, it’s fair to start asking just a few questions about how a Towndale-led council could perform.

Publicly Towndale enjoys a modicum of popularity. He has solid support among the general public, has spent two terms in the trenches as a city councillor, has name recognition, can handle himself in the spotlight and has some social media savvy.

Maybe too much.

Last year two reports from the City of Cornwall’s integrity commissioner called for a public reprimand of Towndale for having breached council’s code of conduct and the council-staff relations policy. The investigations by the integrity commissioner were launched following complaints against Towndale, one of which came from former Cornwall fire chief Pierre Voisine, alleging Towndale’s social-media posts breached council’s code of conduct and its staff relation

Driving’ get me laughing silly. Unfortunately, if I consider the injuries and damage caused to construction sites, pleasure craft and automobiles, I become saddened.

I visit the shopping plaza parking lots to get some amusement. I watch the seniors park their oversize 2001 Lincoln Continentals and tiny Honda Civics in the specially provided handicap spots. Sometimes their passenger hobbles out to act as a marshal, mimicking the directors that guide the movements on aircraft carriers.

Oops! The driver didn’t quite clear that concrete barrier. Oh! That signpost will have to be straightened. Diagonal parking is okay, but being half-way into the lane isn’t cricket.

Maybe the grandkids might be able to convince Grandpa to hang up the car key.

All too often Grandpa treats the end of the 401’s acceleration lane as a place to stop and wait for a break in traffic. The same goes for the white line at the left turn lane at a traffic light-controlled intersection. Grandpa doesn’t realize he should pause near the middle of the intersection to wait for a gap.

When I go home, I finish off my hunt for humour by checking out the lampoons of Putin on the news feeds. The situation in Ukraine is horrific, but how Russia’s monster

policy.

We bring it up because one has to wonder if everything is forgiven at city hall. The betting from our perspective is that there still exists fractured relationships between Towndale and administration. If Towndale were seeking re-election as a councillor his brush with the integrity commissioner would barely register on the local election radar.

As mayor, though, Towndale would become the main conduit between council and administration. Council is elected to represent the electorate – a check on the machinations of government to ensure the voice of the com-

munity is heard at city hall.

The best way for local government to work is to ensure that while there may be room for disagreements about how a particular issue, decision or policy is laid out, everyone at city hall – be they elected or employed - is on the same team.

One of Towndale’s priorities must be to prove to voters that the issues of the past are not an indicator of how things will work in the future, if he wins.

TINY HOUDINI – He’s a contortionist and makes vast amounts of bird seed disappear. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk) is being ridiculed is entertaining. His explanation of how his Black Sea flagship wasn’t sunk brings howls of laughter. Footage of Ukrainian farmers towing away crippled Russian tanks for their scrap value is

entertaining. One farmer who came across an out of fuel armoured personnel carrier offered to tow it back to Russia. The smirk on his face was as wide as Putin-occhio’s nose is long.

OPINION

In the Senate, chow time trumps nation’s biz Claude McIntosh Mac’s Musings

EDITORIAL@ CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

When you are a freshman Senator, there is a learning curve, as the new Independent Senator for Eastern Ontario has discovered.

Bernadette Clement has discovered that if you are going to make your first speech in the Canadian Senate, don’t launch it close to dinner time.

The former Cornwall mayor was moving along quite nicely when she was cut off by the Speaker who informed her that it was 6 p.m. and 6 p.m. in the Senate means it is chow time. Not 6:01. Six sharp. Right on the button. She could resume her speech after those who wished to hear what she had to say returned from the dining room.

Just another adjustment to life in the Slumber Chamber.

Clement caused a stir during her swearing in ceremony. After taking the oath, the vibrant newbie did what is described as an impromptu five-second happy dance on her way to her seat which got the same re-action as a belch in a prayer meeting.

She was reminded that “we don’t do that” (in the Senate). Nod off, yes. Happy dance, no.

Young, fresh faces are unusual for the Senate.

During her first few weeks she was, on a few occasions, asked, “And which senator do you work for?”

FAREWELL TO BUBBA - A familiar face will be missing at the Cornwall Curling Centre next season. Long-time ice-maker Steve “Bubba” Smith has retired. He was honored

by the curling crowd at a sold-out retirement dinner Saturday night. Smith has a connection with the 1980 Cornwall Royals. His sister is married to Robert Savard who scored the cup-winning overtime goal (1:28) against the Petes. Smith and his future brother-in-law had a rocky start. During training camp Smith (he didn’t make the team) had a stand-up, knock ‘em down fight with Savard who at the time he didn’t know. Few nights later guess who showed up at the Smith house for a first-date with Bubba’s sister. Smith recalled that he recognized Savard right away. The black eye gave him away. Said Smith to a surprised Savard, “So you’re the guy.” It has been all good ever since.

History Making History #Cornwall1784 incredibly rich with history that is still important and relevant today. Long before Europeans arrived in the area it had been inhabited by Indigenous people. A 3500-yearold village of the Point Peninsula Culture on Sheek Island, a 700-year-old St-Lawrence Iroquoian Village in now St-Anicet, and the establishment of the St-Regis Village since 1755 are only the few that we are aware of at this time in our region. When the Loyalists arrived in 1784 to what would become Cornwall, they were welcomed by the Mohawks of St-Regis. Come out to witness a traditional Welcoming Ceremony presented by the Mohawks. Learn from the Mohawks as they explain the “Two Row Wampum” which is an enduring treaty between two peoples based on friendship and peace meant to last an eternity. On Saturday, the Mohawks will also have 6 displays to demonstrate traditional fur cleaning, how to clean and prepare a sturgeon, basket making, beadwork and clothing making, rattlers and drums making and paddle carving, as well as a show-andtell booth on numerous items.

On Friday evening, historical FrenchCanadian life and culture will be showcased

with a replica of the “French Canadian Batteau” that was used by the French Canadians to bring the UEL to Cornwall, the “Filles du Roi” or “King’s Daughters”, Voltigeurs reenactors, period clothing, a cabane à sucre (sugar shack), and une soirée canadienne d’antan (traditional French-Canadian party) will be front and center with singing and dancing.

The UEL which were made up of British, Scottish, and Palatine refugees will have their cultures on full display. With over 140 reenactors, an encampment, demonstrations of military formations and drill, the sounds of canons and muskets will be heard in the park. On Saturday evening a taste of the Highland Games with a mini tattoo, singing and dancing will be at the forefront.

History will come to life in an immersive environment where spectators can participate.

There is much more to come and experience with a Historical Fair set up consisting of 40 separate booths staffed by 26 different organizations. The Cornwall Community Museum will be opening its doors for guided tours after having gone through significant

“Where Ontario Began”, is more than a slogan and in just two weeks on the May Long Weekend in Cornwall’s Lamoureux Park the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Historical Society through the Cornwall Community Museum will be hosting a historic celebration of friendship that has been more than 230 years in the making. History will be shared in the three languages of the Mohawks, English and French. Many partners are helping to make this a rich and diverse event.

History will be making history from May 20th to the 22nd as this will be the first time since the landing of the United Empire Loyalists (UEL) on June 6, 1784, that the Mohawks of Akwesasne, the United Empire Loyalists, and French Canadians all come together to remember this watershed moment. Each group will be recounting this historic event and respective cultures from their own perspective, providing a glimpse back to what life was like for their peoples at the time. This is a free event and open to everyone.

Registrations for the 3rd Annual Cotton Candy Classic doubled since the last meet in 2020, and the number of spectators was estimated at 750+ over the two-day event.

“The positive energy in our gym was phenomenal,” said Loree Lalonde, the meet director. “It’s exciting to host an event that puts exciting athleticism on display.”

Eight teams, including the CGC, competed in vault, bars, beam, and floor events. Senator Bernadette Clement, MP Eric Duncan, and Mayor Glen Grant all attended the event and took part in handing out awards to the athletes.

Everyone makes mista­ kes. However, being fired from your last position or ha­ ving a criminal record could affect your ca­ reer prospects. Here’s how to address these ty­pes of issues if they come up in a job in­ terview.

1. BE HONEST: It’s important to build a relationship based on mu­tual trust and res­ pect with your employer. Con­se­­quen­tly, make sure you don’t lie during the job in­ terview. You don’t have to voluntarily share everything about your past, but if the in­ terviewer asks you about a prior misstep or if you think bringing up your background is important, honesty is the best policy.

2. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: Regardless of what blunders you made in the past, take full responsibility for them. This will leave a positive impression on your interviewer.

Conversely, if you try to blame someone else for your past actions, the interviewer may come to believe you’ll repeat your mistakes.

3. FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE: Once you’ve addressed the issue, quickly redirect the conversation to what your mistakes have taught you. Mention your recent ac­

May 13th, 2019.

In loving memory of a dear husband, father & grandfather Who left us on May 16, 2021

Three years already babe since you left us.

Miss you so much and hope you are golfing every day!

My Dear Glen Today’s the anniversary of the day I lost you.

And for a time I felt as though my life had ended too.

It’s sad to walk the road alone instead of side-by-side.

But to all, there comes a moment when the way of life divides.

You gave me years of happiness.

Then came sorrow and tears.

But you left me beautiful memories I will treasure through the years.

CLEAN STREAK

Do you live in an apartment or have too little a yard?

Do you want to try vegetable gardening but think you don’t have the space for it?

Gardening in pots is fun and easy for everyone.

I am in a wheelchair and live in an apartment building with a big parking lot.

For the last two summers, I have been gardening in pots out in the huge back parking lot. I am still learning and enjoy it.

Here is my experience with my gardens in pots.

at most gardening centres (organic if possible). I have to make sure the soil is not packed tight in order to give breathing room for the plants’ roots. One way to lighten up the soil is to add a commercial potting soil which is a fluffy mixture of peat and perlite.

So gardening friends, get a pot or two, some soil and some veggie plants, then place them on a balcony, veranda or indoors near a sunny window. Potted plants need to be watered daily though. Good luck with starting your own little garden in pots and enjoying the fruits of your labour.

REMINDER: Transition Cornwall+ Food Action Group’s ‘Incredible Edibles’ at the end of May can get you started with your first free vegetable plant to try growing on your own. Find out more by following me on Facebook, Transition Cornwall + (transitioncornwall.com), or ask any experienced gardener. Enjoy seeing plants grow and eating your first crop.

zucchinis which helped. Again though, some of my pots were not big enough to get a good crop.

From my experience of gardening in pots, the 8 to 10 inch pots are good enough for small vegetables like jalapenos, habaneras, beans, and similar. I used the biggest pots, about 14 inches wide, for my tomatoes and for corn. In 2021, I put up a mesh fence around my garden to try and keep critters away. It kept the rabbits away but not the squirrels. My corn grew 4 feet tall with a few cobs before squirrels got to them completely. Darn squirrels; no cobs for me! I need to try something new this year.

This summer, I plan on using even bigger pots. To me, the bigger the pot, the bigger the crop. Having had so many pots means I have a lot of soil already. I will be reusing the same soil but adding compost to it, either the one offered by the city in piles or sheep manure which can be bought in bags

My first year of gardening was the summer of 2020. I had bought about 40 medium-sized flower pots from the dollar store.

I wanted to try a variety of vegetables and fruits. I planted the regular tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers but also tried different ones like Brussels sprouts and strawberries.

All my potted plants flourished but to various and limited extents. In my first year, my biggest mistakes were putting too many plants in one pot and using pots that were too small.

The next summer, in 2021, I got much bigger pots and put only one plant per pot.

I also made sure there were holes in the bottom for drainage. I used coffee filters over the holes before filling with soil. My tomato plants went from having just a few tomatoes the first year to about 30 per plant the second year. I had bought trellises for the tomatoes, cucumbers and

NEWS FROM THE SQUARE LEO DOUCET

Did you know that the Cornwall Square has parking spaces for just under 1,100 vehicles on the property, The 4-level parking garage, the at grade surface lots at the east end and a few at the southwest corner in front of the former Active Green & Ross space. The number of parking spots is dictated by municipal By-Laws that have a formula for different types of uses on any given property or an agreed to amount between the property owner and the City of Cornwall.

Thanks to your support, my little t-shirt shop and I made it through. Come see me on the corner of George and William Streets.

In the last week alone, I was overcharged at three different stores here in Cornwall. After coming home and noticing the overcharges, I went back to the establishments to politely point out the discrepancies but got nowhere.

(I was charged for a bag when I told them I had my own bag, then I was overcharged where the price on the article was lower than what they charged but was told that they had to go by what their scanner says. Then, after having three prescriptions filled, I noticed, once we got home, that the dispensing fee on one of them was much higher than the other two. Upon going back to point it out, I was told that yes it was their error and that there was nothing they could do about it because it had already been submitted to ODB. So, the bottom line is that ODB was overcharged and I am also overpaying. No wonder these companies keep making profits.

Spring has sprung and so has this new bad habit. If you’re one of those people who picks up behind your pet only to leave the bag behind or toss it into a tree or a hedge, here’s what you need to know about what you’re doing. It’s actually an offence.

As a dog owner you’re expected to poop and scoop according to the city’s bylaws.

Tossing the tied bag into a tree of leaving it where you scooped is littering because you’re knowingly discarding garbage onto a street. So what can you do if you see someone doing this? People are encouraged to let the city by-law department know it’s happening so bylaw officers will enforce the litter bylaw.

Groupe BMR ouvre un nouveau magasin à Cornwall Cornwall­—C’est avec beaucoup de fierté que Groupe BMR a officiellement ouvert le magasin Perkins Home Centre ltée. (cour à bois, matériaux de construction et quincaillerie) qui mène ses activités sous l’enseigne BMR depuis mars 2022.

L’automne dernier, la famille Perkins a décidé d’explorer de nouvelles options de groupement d’achat. Après avoir passé plus de 30 ans au sein du même réseau, la famille sentait qu’un changement ne pouvait qu’être bénéfique pour sa clientèle et son personnel.

Il était primordial pour les Perkins de trouver un partenaire canadien possédant une expérience solide dans le bois, les matériaux de construction et la quincaillerie et pour qui la clientèle est prioritaire. Après avoir analysé différentes possibilités, ils ont conclu que BMR représentait leur meilleur choix. « Je me réjouis que notre magasin intègre le réseau de Groupe BMR, affirme Roy Perkins, propriétaire. C’est une marque locale solide et bien établie dans laquelle j’ai une grande confiance et qui m’a offert son soutien depuis le début. » « Nous sommes très fiers d’accueillir M. Perkins et son entreprise ainsi que d’agrandir notre réseau de marchands en Ontario, ajoute

De gauche à droite : Gilles Parenteau (BMR), Angela Perkins, Jonathan Gendreau (BMR), Muriel Perkins, Roy Perkins, Mayor Glen Grant and Jason Raiche (BMR).

de quincaillerie les plus courants, mais aussi à des produits de qualité supérieure offerts à prix compétitifs, à un service hautement personnalisé et à des offres exceptionnelles qui combleront leurs besoins.

L’ouverture officielle du magasin a été célébrée en présence du maire de Cornwall, de représentants BMR, de clients du magasin, de la parenté et des proches des propriétaires et de tout le personnel.
