I’m running for Councillor for the City of Cornwall because I believe that WE CAN DO BETTER, and this is my three-point plan.
#1. We need stronger bylaw/property stan dards enforcement. We can do better, there’s no need for neglect, and the city seems total ly unconcerned.
#2. Appoint a Municipal Watchdog. We can do better at budget time by having a Municipal Watchdog report to Council regarding areas of overlap and waste.
#3. Implement a Fast-Track system for building/planning permits. We can do better by having a process for expediting qualified builders and developers through the red tape.

Please join us for this free community event to honour the children affected by Indian Residential Schools: the survivors, their descendants and the many children who did not come home.
Orange Shirt Day is a day when we honour the Indigenous children and their descendants affected by the Residential School system. This is the day to learn about this national trauma in Canada’s history.
These schools harmed Indigenous children by forcibly removing them from their families and communities. They were isolated from their cultures, traditions, language, and forced to assimilate into Christian society. The affect of this cultural genocide is still felt by Indigenous communities today.

“We had the pleasure of meeting these 3 incredible giving kids who raised $1,075.00 this summer by hosting a lemonade stand! They were very happy with the outpouring of many generous people,” they wrote.
Griffin, Fergus, and Mila decided to donate all
the money they raised to CHEO. Half the money went to buy gas cards for the parents and the other half was for gifts purchased at Kid’s Korner. Both businesses added to the fund.
“I hope this inspires you and puts a smile on your face. I’m certain it will brighten the days of families and children at CHEO,” Kids Korner added.

*As
ANSWER: Our residents have continually emphasized in surveys that their number one priority is the waterfront. The acquisition of the water front lands and the Harbour lands development are my number one priority. We are close to finalizing the acquisition of the waterfront lands from the Federal Government. After we finalize the acquisition, city coun cil, in consultation with the residents, will develop a plan for all residents to enjoy our beautiful waterfront. Our waterfront attracts many visitors to the city which helps our commercial sector and shows how Cornwall is evolving into a very attractive tourist destination.
ANSWER: If elected Mayor of Cornwall, the number one priority I would focus on is growth of population. More people means more money in the community, which is required for economic development and growth. Since 2011, Cornwall’s population has grown a mere 3.2%, as compared provincially (11.9%) and nationally (11.1%). City council and administration have failed to provide the conditions to attract and retain residents to our city. I believe that the city council needs a leader with experience in sales, marketing, manufacturing (continuous improvement philosophy) and, particularly, influence in order to spearhead the municipality in the correct direction for pros perity, and this is what I bring to the table.
ANSWER: The current number one priority for Cornwall is housing. We need a shelter. Homelessness has always been present in our commun ity, but it has been hidden over the years. It is now very visible. I’ve spoken with Grand Chief Abram Benedict about this, and we believe that we can partner on a shelter. I believe that there are other partners that we can bring on board as well, ranging from non profits to other munici palities. Tied into this is the need for social housing. We have two pro jects on the go, now we need to continue this momentum. We also need to explore the possibility of par tnering with developers, similar to what the city did with the project at Pitt and Second. A further extension of housing is property standards. We need to increase enforcement of substandard housing, including illegal apartments.
ANSWER: My number one priority in South Stormont is the reconstruc tion of the Ingleside Wastewater Treatment Plant to help create more capacity which is critical for growth. This is our biggest capital infra structure cost to the users of the system. I requested our administration to arrange meetings with the Minister of Infrastructure and we did this regionally along with members of County Council to request provincial and Federal infrastructure funding. This will be needed to move us for ward with respect to many development projects that are on the horizon.
We want to be able to manage the fast pace of residential and Industrial growth we are seeing in South Stormont. Good long-term planning will keep our small-town feel. I have other top priorities. Regional partners communicating with MTO regarding Hwy 138 Safety improve ments. Low water levels in Lake St. Lawrence. Better Broadband connectivity, health care, fiscal responsibility
ANSWER: Water/ wastewater treatment plant, Dr. recruitment, and Waterfront development to start with. This is in everyone’s sights but do they have a plan in place other than what has not been working. I plan to take a bit of a different approach but very similar for all three projects. We’re spinning our Wheels with the approach we’re taking. We have some very aging fire stations that need some attention now. They can’t properly House our vehicles, poor training areas, sub standard personal decontamination and clean up area after an emergency event. This brings us to poor asset management in the past. It is much better now but we MUST stay diligent with our respons ibility to maintain our buildings and infrastructure. Something that was forgotten in the past.
ANSWER: My number one priority is growth. With inflation hitting us hard this year, costs are going up at an alarming rate. In order for us to maintain a tax level that’s affordable, we need growth. Our Glenwalter Water and Waste Water plant is at full capacity. Preliminary quotes have come in around the $45M range to replace and double the plants to allow for development over the next 30 years. At the recent AMO con ference in Ottawa this past August. I along with my County Council col leagues had a delegation with Kinga Surma, Minister of Infrastructure with the province of Ontario. During that meeting I raised South Glengarr y’s needs with the Minister. I am com mitted to continue lobbying the two upper levels of government for as much funding as pos sible. This will keep the costs down for our local residents connected to the system.
ANSWER: My number one priority, if elected to Mayor, would be infra structure. Our roads, bridges, recreation, and other required services should be funded sustainably to provide good ser vice. The community should expect a reasonable level of service for a reasonable level of taxation. I believe in doing what we must do very well and knowing the cost of doing it.

ANSWER: As you are aware, there is a demand for housing, especially affordable housing, in Cornwall and most other cities in Ontario. Currently we work with the SDG counties to solve the housing issues. However, we need the financial assistance of provincial and federal governments to solve the housing problems. In this term of council, we developed the Mayor’s Task Force on Housing that was comprised of city managers, community representatives and city council members. the Task Force developed over 30 short and long term recommenda tions to help resolve the housing problems.
ANSWER: In my opinion, the housing “crisis” (shortage + rise in rent price) relates to a lack of population growth, which creates a stagnant demand, therefore increasing the price of the current supply. Why would a developer choose Cornwall and/or the SD&sG area to develop new housing, when the demonstrated growth of population is well below the provin cial/national average? Why would they choose Cornwall when both our median and average income (per resident) is well below the provincial median and average income? Why should any significant number of people choose to relocate to Cornwall under these conditions? Council/administration needs to create the environment for brand new industry development. There is a giant window of opportunity in the burgeoning recreational cannabis industry. We could be attracting large-scale cannabis producers to set up shop here, we could allow for indoor cannabis smoking at cannabis clubs and/or venues (as indoor non-smoking bylaws were based on tobacco smoking restrictions). This is just one idea to bring a level of new industry to our city, which would attract workers, which then invites property developers to take a closer look at our municipality for additional housing.
ANSWER: I do believe that we can attempt to tackle the issue of housing regionally, as per my answer above. I would like to have discussions with Akwesasne, South Stormont, South Glengarry and the United Counties of SDG on ways to address this issue. As mentioned above, solutions include a shelter and more social housing. When it comes to new develop ment, currently the city is expanding at a faster pace than has been seen in years, with new subdivisions being built across the city. Ensuring a healthy mix of dwelling types is important to ensure a variety of housing that suits everyone’s needs. As mentioned above I also believe we should engage developers on building social housing projects.
ANSWER: Municipalities must incentivize Developers and encourage them to build afford able Housing to help with the housing crisis which is affecting and impacting our seniors and first-time home buyer. I believe we must work Regionally with our municipal neighbors to get more provincial financial support for municipalities that are seeing a lot of residential growth. We went through the process to implement Development Charges to Developers to lessen the burden for the upfront infrastructure capital costs to the taxpayers. We need sweeping reforms to cut provincial bureaucratic red tape which does not meet the needs of Ontarians today.
ANSWER: We also need to stay on track with housing development. Various forms of housing from single residence to senior apartments to subsidized housing. We not only need to attract more people into the area but more importantly, we need to keep our residents right here in South Stormont where they deserve to stay. As a member of C.A.H.C. now Cornwall and area housing I’ve seen the need for housing and I believe that we can make it so they will build in South Stormont. We had an opportunity to explore this option not long ago and the Mayor was not interested in subsidized housing in this area.
ANSWER: I would love to approach this from a regional perspective. However, this has been very difficult to achieve in the past. We are at a stand still for development in the GlenWalter area, until we get funding to replace and upgrade the W/WW plants. We have requested services from the City of Cornwall multiple times over the years, never being suc cessful. When the city updated their Sewage Plant approximately 10 years ago, they included expanding services to GlenWalter/South Glengarry, and Long Sault/ SouthStormont in the plans when the City applied for the grants. The City received 18.5M from the Feds and 18.5M from the Province. I am hopeful that we will be able to work something out in the new term. I met with Mayor Glen Grant for a discussion on the matter, and I am cautiously optimistic we will be able to achieve something. Through the SDG County levy, SG residents pay towards Cornwall and Area Social Housing, through a joint services agreement. One area where I believe we can help is in GlenWalter. At the moment the township owns property that can be developed once our Water and Waste Water plants are expanded. I will work towards having the zoning amended to have multi units developed, and a portion of that could be for geared to income rentals.
ANSWER: This is a very hard question to answer because it means so many things to so many people. I am assuming you mean new housing and subdivisions. I would encourage our building and planning staff to work collaboratively with builders and developers. There are rules that the province mandates, but we can continue to guide people so that the pro cess is not over whelming and to avoid people having costly errors. A focus on serving the public is a must. Any time we, in conjunction with the Counties of SDG (who administer the Official Plan) can make the builder/developer experience simpler, the better.
Seaway News reached out to candidates running for Mayor and asked the following questions, here are the responses we received.
*As of press time*
One of the great things about growing up in Cornwall prior to 1958 was the annual Mayor Aaron Horovitz Children’s Picnic held at Central Park.
After Horovitz died in May 1957, the park was re-branded Horovitz Park but the picnic ended. Over the years there have been attempts to rep licate it, but nothing has come close.
It was the granddaddy of community picnics. The first picnic was held in 1932 with a reported 1,300 kids attending, but in 1956 the StandardFreeholder, which gave extensive coverage,
reported that 10,000 kids attended the festivities.
It was all free. The thousands of hot dogs, ice cream cones and bottles of pop were donated by local enterprises. There were prizes, everything from bicycles and radios to theatre passes.
It wasn’t just a great day for kids, but also for nattily clad Horovitz who was front and centre, soaking it all up. Perhaps he enjoyed seeing kids having the kind of experience he missed out growing up in a poor Romanian family.
At the re-naming ceremony in August 1958, Mayor L. G. “Archie” Lavigne called Horovitz “one of our most generous philanthropists who

The race got underway at 9 a.m. and wit nessed McCormick as first to cross the finish line 82 minutes later, capturing this trophy and a $15 prize. Almost nine minutes later, the second-place runner claimed his $10 prize.
None of the news accounts included even a single photograph, nor mention of the fact that McCormick’s time was better than stated. Because he jumped over the tape, he was made to repeat the last 1/4 mile. To add a bit of irony, report edly McCormick was filling in for another runner who couldn’t participate.

This was Wilfred McCormick just before the 1929 race. He was born in 1907 and died in Hamilton Hospital on July 7, 1987.
On Dominion Day in 1929, before a crowd of more than 3,000, a local boy made his mark on Cornwall amateur sports history. Wilfred McCormick entered a Courtaulds sponsored 12-mile long foot race from the former Long Sault Rapids to Cornwall’s historic St. Lawrence Park, today
The trophy’s fate was unknown until a few years ago when a relative collaborated with the Museum in researching its history.
Richard Wilfred McCormick Sr. of York, Ontario, who cared for the trophy until 2019 when it was donated for exhibit in the gentlemen’s study at the Cornwall Community Museum, passed away on June 5, 2021.
was respected and held in high esteem.”
Sadly, in the December 1956 municipal elec tion, the first for the expanded city (which took in a large chunk of voter-rich Cornwall Township), the city’s longest serving mayor was defeated. He died a few months later. Some would say of a broken heart.
IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR: Central Park pool and the adjacent change house. The over head shower with the pan of murky disinfectant each swimmer had to stand in before entering the pool (This was during the polio epidemic scare).

Hughie O’Reilly, who passed away Sept. 20, was one.
The retired Cornwall Fire Department fire chief, who did a tour of duty in senior management at city hall as director of community services, had a infectious smile and dry sense of humour.
We enjoyed our chats, especially over coffee at the Cornwall Curling Club.
Hughie always was close to the fire
department, literally. He grew up in an upstairs apartment a couple of doors south of the old Pitt Street fire station.
Even after in retirement he had a connection to the department. His son Steven served with the department, retiring as a platoon chief.
Hughie gave back to his community as a tire less volunteer in minor sports and the Cornwall Curling Club.
RIP Hughie.

Last week a collection of local officials, including MP Eric Duncan and property owners, gathered at the South Stormont council chambers to discuss the number one complaint coming out of our region at this time of year – the bottoming out of the St. Lawrence River west of Cornwall.
Every year at this time, like clockwork, the machinations of the International Joint Commission (Cheech and Chong love that name) lead to the lowering of water levels west of Cornwall.
We’ve used this space to illustrate these points on numerous occasions. Just last month we offered some solutions that the IJC should consider to mitigate a problem that impacts property owners, tourism busi nesses and wildlife.
We even pointed out that it is residents of THIS region who made sacrifices for the creation of the St. Lawrence Seaway and power project in the 1950s. Tens of thou sands of local residents, including our First Nations friends in Akwesasne, had homes moved, or destroyed, for this project.
The grandchildren of those former home owners are still getting the screw job today, as our region suffers through the rigmarole of climate change, weather patterns and bureaucracy that controls St. Lawrence River water levels west of Cornwall.
But last week’s meeting could be the first step in seeing more pressure put upon the IJC to find workable solutions that don’t involve a Sahara Desert-like landscape along shorelines and tributaries that feed the St. Lawrence west of Cornwall.
The group is looking to formulate a plan that will focus pressure on the IJC this year, and onto 2023 and 2024. The group wants
to present a united front and is looking to partner with property/business owners, as well as the aforementioned Duncan.
The relationship with Duncan is an important one. The SDSG MP has bought into this issue and wants to help. The group should be holding onto its relationship with Duncan with white knuckles. Soon, we’re confident, the political winds in our country will lead to a federal Conservative govern ment with Duncan sitting in cabinet.
A cabinet minister can get things done, quickly. Let’s welcome the advice Duncan is giving on this file – it will pay dividends down the road.
Whispers out of city hall suggest there could be an exodus of senior staff as we move into the new year.
Remember when there would be a multi tude of debates and candidate functions leading up to a municipal election? Is it just us, or are those days gone? Some have been scheduled in Cornwall and the sur rounding region, but not in the numbers we have seen in the past.
Pay your respects during Truth and Reconciliation Day. There is a massive event taking place Friday at 4 p.m. at Lamoureux Park. Be there.
More news on this in the next few days, but the Eastern Ontario Training Board (26 Pitt Street) is collecting winter clothes for hundreds of refugees billeted at the Dev Centre in Cornwall. If you have winter clothes (especially childrens) please give them a call at 613-932-0210.

Dear Editor, Sunday September 18th was a Sad Day!
On my way to Brockville I saw a beautiful majestic healthy Moose on the side of the road on Hwy 2 right after Prescott. He was in a large field with about 6 cars stopped to admire this gorgeous animal
I took pictures from my car and then got out to talk to this one elderly couple. They were so amazed, they had their binoculars looking at him. The man said he has been tracking him for a couple of days, the man was con cerned for the Moose thou. I told him I would call MNR asap
When I got to my destination 30 minutes later, I called MNR and I was informed by the Ministry that the OPP shot and killed the Moose. And the Ministry wasnt even notified.
To the Editor.
RE: Your recent editorial “Sept. 27, 1984 was a cold day in Cornwall.”
You mention Queen Elizabeth II visited the city and region many times, marking some very important events such as The Seaway. You further noted, quote “Few Regions in the world have had single visit, let alone a bunch” end quote. I attended the Benson Centre to sign the book of Condolences and on entering one looks around for where such book would be located. To the right of the entrance inside is a low small table with a white cloth, a book that looked like something from the “Back to School Department in Walmart, a ball point pen, and no chair. First impression was the “Book of Condolences” must be elsewhere. However, as one approaches you see the magnificent “Golden Book” presented to Her Majesty in July 1967 and a picture of the Queen. So this must be it, but where is the
The reason was they shot him because they were tired of dealing with him I was told. This is unacceptable and can’t happen anymore
Moose and Bear have to be Tranquilized and Relocated to a forest
To the people that were beside the road yelling and honking their horns at the OPP telling them “Don’t Shoot”. I’m so Sorry!
And I really hope there is an investigation since the first shot fired missed the Moose. Neighborhood was very upset since a shot was fired near by
Thank you to the many people who con tacted me
As Humans we have to do better
Mary Jane Proulx Animal ActivistBook of Condolences, could it be that cheap black covered notebook lying on the table? The answer of course is “Yes.”
Considering the importance the Queen assigned to visiting Cornwall I am shocked, appalled no less, that such a cheap book would be used alongside the Golden Book for people to express their sincere thoughts and memories on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. It would seem little thought was given to prep arations for a ceremony that was imminently evident given reports of the Queens failing health, demeaning the importance that she gave to Cornwall and Region. I appreciate and thank you for the editorial expressing our sin cere condolences on behalf of our community and regret City Hall didn’t show more class to remember the greatest Queen, woman and mother that ever lived.
Ken Davies, Long Sault WITH WORDS NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COMWhere were you when Kennedy was shot? Where were you when the Moon landing took place? Where were you when the World Trade Centre was hit?
I can recall the time, place and circum stances of each of those events. You prob ably can too. Let’s explore some other mem orable events.
King George VI died on Wednesday February 6, 1952: in the darkness of predawn, my mother shook me awake, whisper ing, “The King has died.” Being 13 years of age, I would soon have to be out the door and off to my grade IX classes at Toronto’s St. Michael’s College School. Nothing in my upbringing or education had taught me of the British significance of the street names of
By Sunday June 3, 2012: my world had expanded. A trans-Atlantic cruise had dropped us off in Athens. A Boeing 737 then flew us to Gatwick. BritRail took us to my sister-in-law’s home in Bracknell. There we were, ensconced in front of the ‘telly’, sip ping tea and watching coverage of QE II’s 60th Diamond Jubilee Anniversary regatta on the Thames.
What a gathering of vessels it was, 670 according to one count! All sorts of water craft of all sizes, including Dieppe evacua tion veterans, racing shells, rowboats and kayaks. Oh how I wanted our canoe, “DANCES WITH WAVES”, to be among them. For some reason, Air Canada wouldn’t let us bring it as carry-on luggage on their Boeing 747.
Queen Elizabeth II died on Wednesday September 8. I was in Ottawa when I heard the radio broadcast. By the time we had
driven the 80 km south to Morrisburg, the flags at its traffic circle and post office were already at half mast!
Can you name any other monarch, presi dent, prime minister or leader whose reign or term of office was as long-lasting, faithful, self-sacrificing and so worthy of respect?
For the next several days, thanks to today’s technology, we were able to immerse our selves in the colourful pageantry, praise and respect that the people of the Commonwealth and other countries of the world showered upon her.
Nick Wolochatiuk MOST DESERVEDLY – In honour of Queen Elizabeth’s life of submission to the burden of duties imposed upon her as a youth, flags of countries, municipalities, businesses, organizations and homes were respectfully flown at half mast. (Photo by Nick Wolochatiuk)Have you checked out our Riparian Restoration project? The provincially funded project is almost complete! A large chuck of the initiative took place in May with the planting of 350 native trees and shrubs near the intersection of Pitt and Tollgate. In August, Sustainability Assistant, Kim Bray hosted four public walking tours of the revamped area. The last stage of this project is to install educational signs along the existing bike path.

Eco Day may be seven months away, but we are already planning for a larger event in 2023. Keep updated through the City’s Eco Update email newsletter. Use the link above to sign up.
Cornwall’s 2nd Annual Great Litter Clean-up took place on September 16. Last year the event was proposed by CFUW Cornwall & District. The turn out was great, so the City decided to do it again this year. During their lunch hour, staff picked up trash in Guindon Park and Bell Centennial Park. Last year staff pulled an old mattress out of Guindon Park. Roots of plants had almost anchored the mat tress to the ground. This year, staff found many interesting items include a large kitchen knife, roof tiles, empty wine bot tles, and an old decaying bat tery. Many thanks to the other organizations who volunteered their time to pick up litter in our community. You can see photos of this event on the City’s Facebook page.
By the time you read this, Cornwall’s Youth for Climate Action Working Group will have had their first meeting of the 2022-23 school year. We are still recruiting members from Holy Trinity, St. Joe’s, CCVS, La Citadelle, and St. Matthew’s. If you would like to apply, fill out an application form as soon as possible: https://www.corn wall.ca/en/live-here/youth-forclimate-action-working-group. aspx.
The first performance of Norm Foster’s Opening Night took place at the Seaway Valley Theatre Company on September 15, 2021. In celebration of the beginning of the 2022/23 season, there was a ribbon cutting to commemorate the grand opening of the new theatre location at 30 Sixth Street East.
“When they SVTC was founded in 2006, one of the first goals we set was to acquire a performance venue of our very own. Free from the restrictions, limitations, and costs of other facilities. Fifteen years later that dream came true when this building went up for sale,” said Lise Richer.
“As we continue to renovate and refurbish the building to suit out needs, I’m delighted to announce that the Seaway Valley Theatre Company has recent ly been given a $148,300 Resilient Communities Fund Grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation,” she continued as the room broke out in applause.
Richer went on to explain that the new grant fund ing was used to install new house lighting on both levels of the theatre in July. The grant also funded purchase of a new 24-unit wireless microphone sys tem, purchased in June. These new additions to the theatre will bring improvements to sound and light ing quality for theatregoers to enjoy for years to come.
The City of Cornwall, in partnership with the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne (MCA) and the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), is proudly recognizing Orange Shirt Day on September 30, throughout the City. On Thursday, rep resentatives of the CDSBEO, MCA and the City of Cornwall came together at the clock tower in Lamoureux Park in order to officially raise a banner to commemorate the day.
The Orange Shirt Day is designed to commemorate residential school survivors, their descendants and the children that never made it back. It’s also designed for Canadians to learn more about the impact that the residential school system has had on Indigenous communities throughout the country.
Orange Shirt Day: Every Child Matters grew from the story of one child, Phyllis (Jack) Webstad, whose grandmother gave her a shiny orange shirt to wear at St. Joseph Mission Residential School in British Columbia. On her first day the shirt was taken away and never to be seen again.
However, Phyllis is a survivor of Canada’s residen tial schools, and now her story is shared so that we all can better understand the legacy of these institu tions in our country.
“We are proud to partner with the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario and the City of Cornwall for this great initiative,” said MCA Grand Chief Abram Benedict. “We also acknowledge the work that they are doing in order to recognize September 30.”
“Recognizing Orange Shirt Day is very important to me,” said Cornwall Mayor Glen Grant. “We need to do so as we continue our positive relationship with our neighbours in Akwesasne. Recognizing the negative effects that residential school have had on Indigenous communities and their residents is the first step towards Reconciliation.”
“This is our third year partnering with the City of Cornwall and Mohawk Council of Akwesasne to raise an Orange Shirt Day banner at the Clock Tower prior
“Congratulations on your grand opening and on behalf of our city council and city administration… we would like to say thank you for the invitation and we look forward to the opening,” said Mayor Glen Grant, “Good luck on your performance tonight and we will be here whenever you need us.”
The energy in the theatre was great that evening and the cast put on a fantastic first performance. For more information and tickets to see Opening Night before the final performance on October 2, visit the Seaway Valley Theatre Company website: https:// www.svtc.ca/opening-night.html.
to September 30, as a physical sign of work ing together in education and understanding as part of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s commitment to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” said Norma McDonald, Superintendent of School Effectiveness for the CDSBEO.
In attendance during the raising of the ban ner were members of the CDSBEO Indigenous Education Advisory Committee — Chair Kokum Brenda Rivers and Wathahiiosta (Theresa) Cook, as well as Romaine Mitchell, Indigenous Education Regional Lead with the Ministry of Education.
Cornwall residents can get involved by wearing an orange shirt on Friday, September 30 and learning more about the residential school system.
They are also encouraged to attend the Orange Shirt Day National Day of Truth and Reconciliation Community Gathering at Lamoureux Park on the same day, starting at 4 p.m. The event will feature the dedication and unveiling of orange “Every Child Matters” benches as well as the sharing of a meal and social singing and dancing.

SVTC President, board members, and the mayor at the official ribbon cutting for the new Seaway Valley Theatre. L to R: Cheryl Snider, Jacob Pilon, Corey Disotell, Mayor Glen Grant, SVTC President Lise Richer, Lesley Ellam and Cathy Durham.This year YourTV is celebrating a special mile stone, 50 years of keeping our community en gaged and informed with local programming, from sports and community events to coverage of political issues.
YourTV is owned by the telecommunications company Cogeco, providing Internet, television, and telephony services for residents and busi nesses with superior locally-based customer support. Rooted in the communities they serve, Cogeco invests in them through upgrading and expanding their network, hiring locally, sup porting charitable and not-for-profit organiza tions, as well as providing local content through YourTV.
Join us in a trip down memory lane, as we highlight the journey over the past 50 years.
Cornwall Cable Vision as it was known origi nally began business in 1958 with approximately 500 customers. It started with only two employ ees and offered six channels. Operations were established at 334 Pitt Street and continued un til 1971, when they moved to 517 Pitt Street. At the new location, they determined that a local community television studio would benefit the City. The idea was in place, so they designed and built the studio, control room, and offices. Clem ent E. Charette was hired to oversee the com munity station and to stay up to date with the trends and development of the programme pro duction industry. They equipped the studio with the latest technology to reproduce video images in black and white.
The channel was first known as Cable 11. It offered Cornwall residents an opportunity to “Enrich community life by fostering communica tion among individuals and community groups,” as Coordinator and Program Director, Clement Charette, announced in a letter to the radio station and newspaper. The studio and techni cal equipment were available at the disposal of whoever wanted to use them. Cable 11 acted as a liaison between key stakeholders and the citizens of Cornwall. They were open to ideas and partnering with organizations, such as com munity groups, City Council, and school boards. Mr. Charette hoped that residents would reply favourably and spontaneously to the concept of a community television station in Cornwall. He was excited to see the community involved in creating, producing, and watching local content.
“We are proud to be celebrating 50 years of local programming in Cornwall. Congratulations to our entire team at YourTV, including our staff and volunteers. And most importantly, thank you to you, the community. You’re our contributors, our viewers, our supporters. Let’s continue to provide great commu nity television together!”
1. Community Programming: directly in volve citizens in the planning and production of local content.
2. Informational Programming: provid ing residents with information on commu nity matters of concern and interest to them. These programs could be highly specialized in nature and hopefully create more community involvement.
3. Local Origination Programming: covering local activities, such as community events and sports. These programs would all be crewed by volunteers and assisted by Cable 11 staff.
Originally the idea was to broadcast an hour of programming a day. In addition, Cornwall Cable Vision would have a 24-hour noticeboard service which would provide upto-date weather, time, and announcements of general interest.
Mr. Charette ended his letter with a final message that community TV was not his, Ca ble Vision’s, a technician’s or an employee’s; it is and always will belong to YOU, the Cornwall residents. The main purpose of the station was to assist community members in bringing forth their message to share with the commu nity at large.
The station initially had a fall 1971 launch in mind, but when October came around, they ad mitted that they needed another month. Bernard Bertrand, the General Manager of Cornwall Ca ble Vision, stated that he was satisfied with the progress of Channel 11. The studio construction was finished, and the equipment was ready to go, but the cabling needed to finish the job was only delivered at the start of October. With two staff members hired, they ran some tests and trained high school students who would operate the cameras and take on the technician’s role. The staff camera operators also went to Ottawa for further training on camera operations.
The December 6th Municipal Election night was the first program broadcast on Cable 11. Soon after that, programming continued to broadcast through Cornwall Cable Vision. Early programming featured: Nouvelles CFML, Le magazine de la femme, News CJSS, Judo with Jim Sharp, Filles d’Isabelles, Fire Chief and Gerry Parisien, and the Riverdale String Ensemble on
the Kinsmen Club of Cornwall saw an opportu nity to utilize the local station. Their Bingo fund raisers were held in numerous locations around the city, so Kin Bob Megan pitched a weekly Bin go night. Kinsmen TV Bingo first aired on Janu ary 22, 1974 with Kin Bob Megan at the helm. The Kiwanis Club of Cornwall also leveraged the power of television, partnering with Cable 11 to televise their Kiwanis TV Auction to raise their profile and funds.
More local organizations followed suit; by the mid-to-late 1970s, Cable 11 was broadcast ing games from the Cornwall Royals; and on Monday, January 23rd, 1978 the very first City Council meeting was telecast into the homes of Cornwall residents. This was a first not only for the Cornwall community, but Cornwall was the first municipality in Eastern Ontario to allow cameras inside the Council Chambers for a live broadcast. This made for a historic night! With an estimated 10,000 viewers tuning into City Council meetings, it quickly became the most viewed program on the channel.
That same year, a group of youth got in
text. For example, “What school do you at tend?” or “What’s your favourite Ice Cream?” Viewers would then call in and vote or answer the questions. It was a highly successful program and one that the volunteer producers took great pride in. Bill Makinson, who started volunteering with the studio in 1976, feels that he and his group of volunteers “Started MTV before there ever was an “MTV.” After about six months, the program was taken off the air but showed back up as “Studio 11” in the early 1980s.
By 1979, with the channel now broadcast ing in colour, Steven Burns took over as Cable 11’s Program and Marketing Manager. He led his staff and a young group of teenage volun teers. With the Cornwall Royals games being broadcast on the channel, the team was really hitting stride and winning the Presidents Cup in 1980 and 1981. Both years they also won the Memorial Cup. Cable 11 was on hand for the 1980 Presidents Cup win, followed by an “On location” spot hosted by Kevin Wilson and Gord Shaver along Water Street. The City was Cup cra zy while car horns were blaring in anticipation of the Cornwall Royals bringing the Memorial Cup Home. Volunteers at this time included Calvin Killoran, Bill Makinson, and Craig Michaels. All three ended up having a long-standing working
Into the 1980s, Cable 11 offered regular com munity programming including City Council, Royals hockey, Bingo and Open Line. However, throughout the 80s they also captured more notable events. Queen Elizabeth II visited Corn wall in 1984, and Cable 11 captured her visit throughout the City. Worldfest was held annu ally with the TV cameras always present for their events. Fundraisers were also a staple on the community channel. The Kiwanis Club of Corn wall continued its TV auctions, and Sparky’s ToyA-Thon found a home on TV. Another telethon that was held annually was the Jerry Lewis Tele thon, which raised funds for muscular dystrophy. The telethon was nationally broadcast with live video feeds from different communities with lo cal content and pleas for funds to help support Canadian families.
With the end of the decade approaching, the “phone-in” style program was becoming a hit with audiences. “Open Line” earlier in the de cade did well, but with the addition of “Psychic Connections” and “Political Hotline” in 1990,
the channel became a source for the interactive viewer experience.
The end of the 1980s also had some staff transitioning. Steve Burns decided to change his career path, and Calvin Killoran became the sta tion’s Program Manager. His first hire was Pro ducer Scott Meyers. Scott came in with a great vision. Calvin and Scott worked with a great volunteer group to showcase even more of the community on the channel.
The 1990s started with many different groups and people involved. State of the Arts, On Lo cation, and Primetime Sports Cards were prime examples of the diverse shows produced by Channel 11.They even launched children’s pro gramming with “Storytime Rex” which featured a raccoon as the main character. Staple pro grams, such as City Council, Bingo and Cornwall Royals hockey continued to be brought into the homes of Cornwall residents. In fact, the 1990 OHL/QMJHL All-Star Challenge game was tele
vised, presenting many future longtime NHLers.
Some of the other big events of the decade include:
• The Annual Worldfest Festival
• Cornwall Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards
• Cornwall BodyBuilding Championship
• The Miss Cornwall Pageant
• The Aquatic Centre Town Hall
• The announcement of the AHL Cornwall Aces (Quebec Nordiques) coming to Cornwall
• Future two-time Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling live in studio for a call in show
Yes, one of Hollywood’s top sweethearts was in the Cornwall studio. Fresh off Ryan’s experi ence on Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club, he came into the Pitt Street studio for a one-hour phonein special. The lines were full as kids and fans alike called to ask him whatever they wanted.
The Cornwall Colts also became a staple on Cable 11. Especially once the Royals left town and the Aces didn’t want coverage until their last season in the City. Colts hockey has been brought to the viewers for thirty years as of
2022!
Nearing the end of the decade, Rogers broad cast the 1996 Ontario Special Olympics opening ceremony province-wide.This would be their last big event coverage, as Cogeco bought the Corn wall station.
One of the new Cogeco hires in 1998 was a volunteer from the 1970s, Bill Makinson. Bill started volunteering in 1995 after a nearly 15-year hiatus from community television. He sharpened his skills once again as a volunteer, and Cogeco continued the tradition of commu nity-based television brought to residents by volunteers.
Some of the new staple programming in cluded:
• A news magazine show, Plugged In
• Remembrance Day ceremonies
• Santa Claus Parades and Visits with Santa
• Cornwall Colts Hockey
• Primetime Sports Cards
• City Council
• Worldfest
• Cornwall’s Personalities, which was brought to the station by Community Producer Joe Gunn
Thank you Your TV Cornwall for hosting Kinsmen TV Bingo every Tuesday for over 50 years. Because of you millions of dollars have helped support local causes.

With Your help Kinsmen helps our community
With a new millennium upon us, the 2000s brought massive technological growth. Scott Meyers moved to Cogeco Kingston as a Pro gram Manager, and Cornwall saw several differ ent producers come through their doors. Chris Rohde began with the station as a volunteer in 1998. He was hired after his College days in 2001, and Scott Acton joined the team in 2002. The addition of them rounded out the produc tion staff well. Bill Makinson was an event cov erage specialist, Chris was the creative mind, and Scott was the news specialist. All led by Calvin Killoran.
The 2000s also brought along more major events and volunteer opportunities. Cornwall has hosted the Fred Page Cup twice since 2003 and the RBC Cup in 2008. Cogeco, known as TVCogeco at the time, was on hand for these high-profile events.
As time continued, Primetime Sports Cards changed its name to Primetime Sports because cards weren’t as hot as they once were, and oth er programs needed to be updated. Plugged In became the Source, and Cornwall’s Personalities became Profiles with Joe Gunn.
In addition, new programming was produced, including:
• Employee’s Only
• Simon’s Moving Picture Show
• High School Sports
• Raiders Football
• Derrick and Darryl Live!
• Fitness Over Fifty
• Inside Out
• Children’s Treatment Centre Roasts
• Carefor Hospice Telethon
• I Begg Your Pardon
• At the Podium
From the 2000s to 2010s and now the 2020s, change has come at YourTV in both personnel and programming. First was the re branding into YourTV, and then the retirement of Calvin and Bill.
Current Producers Chris, Gabriel, and Evan have taken on the responsibility to continue the vision set forth 50 years ago. Political programming has always been a staple of the channel. In addition to Council meet ings, the community station has provided extensive election coverage throughout many campaigns and broadcasts live results and reactions on election nights. Event coverage is also an important part of the Community channel’s work. From concerts and parades to fundraisers and other special events. YourTV is your go-to channel to see what’s happening in Cornwall and surrounding counties, right from your living rooms.
Several new partnerships were also formed in the last 15 years, such as the Hospice Telethon and the YourTV Youth Achievement Awards. Before the Hospice was built, in 2009 YourTV helped raise a portion of the over half a million dollars needed each year for operat ing the compassionate end-of-life care centre in the community.
In the early 2010s, Cogeco teamed up with the Optimist Club of Cornwall to celebrate the best in local youth at the YourTV Youth Achievement Awards. Powered by the Op timist Club of Cornwall since its inception, nearly 200 local youth have received recogni tion and prizes for making our community a better place to live and work.
The channel continues to provide local news and stories daily on Community Matters,
bringing the community of Cornwall into your homes every night. Initially seen as a need due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the desire for local news coverage was magnified. But the pandemic didn’t stop our volunteer base ei ther. Cornwall Colts hockey, Bingo, City Coun cil, Community Matters, I Begg Your Pardon, Isolation Sports Talk with Thom, Melodies and Memories, and the Youth Achievement Awards have all been produced by staff and volunteers throughout the pandemic. Particularly during a time when many non-profits struggled with the lack of fundraisers, Kinsmen TV Bingo con tinued, with funds raised going right back into serving the community’s greatest needs.
Other non-profits, such as the United Way and the Agape Centre, were offered weekly or bi-weekly segments to help raise awareness for help and fundraising needs. Sexual Assault Support Services hosted weekly segments dur ing awareness campaigns for Women Abuse Prevention and Sexual Assault Awareness months.
Another longtime partner of YourTV is the Children’s Treatment Centre, which receives no government funding and is completely funded by the community. YourTV has been there right from the start to help deliver their messages and need for donations, from Celebrity Roasts to fundraising Breakfasts featuring the broadcasts of guest speakers worldwide. YourTV’s repackaging of archived guest speakers presentations also helped the Centre raise funds throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
YourTV has worked with numerous chari table and not-for-profit organizations (too many to name them all) over the years, help ing them raise awareness and funds. However, the importance of this was also exemplified during the last two years with the pandemic.
our that celebrities continue to be part of the picture. Queen Elizabeth II, Ryan Gosling, John Dunsworth from Trailer Park Boys, Eddie Shack, Larry Holmes, Ray Mercer, Gerry Cooney, Michael Spinks, Gerry Dee, Don Cherry, and David Suzuki are just a few names that made an impact dur ing our years of community programming.
The success of our local programming is re ally due to the community and our volunteers. Dedicated volunteers who have been tenured for many, many years. Too many to mention, and at the risk of leaving people out, it’s not fair to name one and not all. Without our volunteers, both behind and on camera, what you tune into for community content would have never been possible or become a reality.
Since day one, as Cable 11, our local station has offered workshops and extensive handson experiences for all volunteers. It has helped students through school, as well as connecting people as friends and as a community. 517 Pitt Street has produced quality programming in Cornwall and has become home to many people interested in television production and the local community.
Community Television works because of the dedication of volunteers. All of which wouldn’t have been possible for broadcast without their efforts, time, and professionalism. It also works thanks to you, our viewers. As we look forward to another 50 years, we count on your continued support through contention creation, volunteer ing, and viewership. Thank you Cornwall for the ongoing support - we are so proud of what we’ve achieved together as a community over the past 50 programming seasons!
The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) helped TD Bank Group again this year to host a TD Tree Days event at Gray’s Creek Conservation Area on September 17.
“It was wonderful to welcome nearly 40 TD employees and their friends and family mem bers as we planted 200 native trees and shrubs,” says Martin Lang, RRCA Board of Directors Chair. “These trees will help enhance wildlife habitat and will be enjoyed for many years by the numerous visitors who come to Gray’s Creek Conservation Area to step into nature.”
TD Tree Days has been bringing people
“TD Bank Group is proud to work with the projects, the RRCA works with landowners to reforest idle or vacant land and provides overthe-counter tree sales to the community at low cost,” says Jessica Herrington, RRCA’s Stewardship Coordinator. “We are currently planning our 2023 tree planting projects. Landowners, teachers, businesses, munici palities, and community groups are encour aged to reach out to us soon with any tree planting projects they have planned for next year.”
To guide our community in the protection,
enhancement, and restoration of our natural environment through programs that balance human, environmental and economic needs for a sustainable future.

Hardware Building Centre has been named Best Young Retailer – Central Region at the Proud of My Home Achievement Awards and Celebration. The awards were handed out at Home Hardware’s 2022 Homecoming event in Toronto on September 23, 2022.
“I am honoured to be acknowledged with the Proud of My Home Achievement Award for Best Young Retailer – Central Region,” said Scott Fines, Dealer-Owner, Fines Home Hardware Building Centre. “Growing up with my parents’ Home Hardware Building Centre gave me the appreciation and drive that I have as a business owner today. After work ing as a Civil Engineer for five years, my wife and I joined the Home family once again in 2016 and gave our kids the opportunity to grow up with the store like I did.”
The Best Young Retailer award celebrates the next generation of independent home retailers. Fines Home Hardware Building Centre was one of 18 stores recognized with a Proud of My Home Achievement Award. Recipients must demonstrate excellence in staff performance and customer service; interior presentation, including clear signage, tidiness, and merchandise presentation and displays; exterior presentation, including
staff training; and participation in Dealer net work initiatives.
The Fines moved to Cornwall in 2016 when they purchased their store and treated each customer as an opportunity to learn about the community they now serve. They earned the trust of their customers quickly and have become a valued member of the community, maintaining the high standards of customer service they have set for themselves.
“The Proud of My Home Achievement Award recognizes Fines Home Hardware Building Centre’s commitment and dedication to put ting their customers first,” said Kevin Macnab, President and CEO, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “On behalf of Home Hardware Stores Limited and the Dealer-Owners representing close to 1,100 Home Hardware stores in communities across Canada, I would like to congratulate them on this achievement.”
Fines Home Hardware Building Centre is a locally owned family-business that is led by Scott Fines, Amanda Fines, Murray Fines, and Andrea Fines. Dealer-Owners, Scott and Amanda, are active participants in several local organizations and strive to set an example of the importance of community for their three children.

Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital has received a cheque from an anonymous donor in the amount of $94,004.30! This generous gift will be used towards the purchase of a new ultrasound equipment this year. The hospital is so grateful to all our donors both big and small, your gifts go a long way to advancing safe, quality patient care at HGMH. Kinsmen Club of Cornwall was the breakfast sponsor at the recently held United Way Breakfast and was up early to prepare a hot meal for everyone. Kinsmen has been a long time supporter of United Way.Last week, in response to the Notice issued 12Aug2022, I wrote a letter to the Minister of Environment, the EA Approvals branch and the City WPP Supervisor expressing my con cern of the option selected, a mix of Alternatives “F” and”G” with a $40 million capital cost and $74 million 100-year life cycle cost. I agree that an alternative intake must be installed before the existing infra structure fails. I applaud Cornwall for address ing this risk. However, I object to the fact that my Preferred Alternative was summarily dis missed and not properly costed and assessed, especially as a significant sum of taxpayers’ money is involved. This EA must be delayed for revaluation.
In March 2022 I attended the public meet ing and followed up in writing my Preferred Alternative based on many years of experi ence at the Domtar Mill. My Preferred Alternative is a new pipe from the Closure Structure Gate along the bottom of the Old Cornwall Canal and then following the old CNR right of way to the west side of the WPP - a distance of 4km. As a retired engineer, I am unqualified to properly cost this alterna tive, that is the job of the engineering firm hired by the City. However, I am sure the cap ital cost is less than $20 million and the 100year life cycle cost proportionately less than $74 million. My Preferred Alternative is much simpler. It delivers water to the WPP without the use of pumps and uses a right-of-way
already owned by Transport Canada. Alternative “F” and “G” ignores the geograph ical advantage Cornwall enjoys (using the head provided by Lake St Lawrence to deliver water under pressure to the WPP for free). My Preferred Alternative was dismissed and not costed based on frazil ice concerns. Ironically, the Selected Alternatives “F” and “G” fail to address frazil ice and zebra mussel concerns. It fails to consider the 70 years of expertise gained by Transport Canada as they annually manage the formation of ice on Lake St Lawrence to protect the 32 turbine intakes along the Moses Saunders Powerhouse. In my experience the operation and mainten ance of an intake in a fast moving part of the river and a pump house on the north bank of
the canal will be an operational and costly nightmare for the life of the project.
For unknown reasons, the Notice was reissued 13Sep2022 with comments to be received by 13Oct2022. By this letter I am requesting Cornwall citizens to act accord ingly and express their concerns to the appro priate authorities.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION: We are planning to meet with mayoral candidates in the upcoming municipal election. This will be an opportunity to find out their plans to address PROPERTY STANDARDS in the Renaissance area and discuss other key concerns that affect residents and the general impression of the district.
CLEAN: The waterfront trail, harbour, a large stretch of Montreal Rd., the Renaissance Park and Mattice Park continue to receive a dose of TLC from some Adopt-aStreet volunteers and other good folks who care about the general appearance and cleanliness of the district.
MISCHIEF: Earlier this month a nasty resident lugged broken pieces of a dresser to the waterfront and tossed them down the hill. Another ignoramus burnt the grass at the bottom of one of the sets of stairs to the shoreline earlier this month. Last October the wood steps to the shoreline were burnt and graffiti was prevalent in well-travelled areas. Garbage cans were also overturned.
Newly-planted vegetation was uprooted in plain sight. When you see graffiti, dumping and vandalism please contact 613930-
2787 ex. 5354.
SAFETY: Lighting along the trail and the installation of security cameras would help to identify mischief-makers and deter antisocial behavior.
Recommendations to enhance safety will be shared with the Police Chief, Shawna Spowart, who accepted our invitation to discuss issues that were outlined in the report the Association submitted last spring in response to the Police Service survey.
PILOT PROJECT: March 30 we met with acting mayor, Glen Grant, and administration to recommend we launch a pilot this spring by partnering with CITY BYLAW to proactively address shabby yards, dirty vacant lots and buildings that show signs of obvious decay. We are waiting for a response to our proposal and more than ready to move forward.
NO SMOKING WATERFRONT: We inquired about the status of the NO SMOKING signs that were expected to be installed along the waterfront trail several years ago. The amount of cigarette butts along the trail and at the harbor at this time would fill a garbage can. Unfortunately this major source of pollution harms fish and waterfowl and creates a messy environment. Visitors to these locations deserve a much cleaner environment in future.

Sadly, Cornwall lost one of its outstanding, beloved, and respected citizens. Brian passed away peacefully on Friday, September 16. He is survived by his wife, Lucie McCartney, and is predeceased by his father, Robert, Henry, Victor McCartney and his mother Louise, Elsie McCartney (Messecar). Born in Milles Roches, Brian’s parents later moved to Cornwall during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

One Life Lived So Many Lives Touched
It’s lonely here without you, We miss you more each day.
For life is not the same to us, Since you were called away.
To your resting place we visit, Place flowers there with care. But no one knows our heartache, When we turn and leave you there.
Forever Brian & Sherri
OBITUARY MCCARTNEY, ROBERT BRIAN “The Renaissance Man” SEWELL, Donald Hudsondu Collège Saint-Laurent sur le chemin Montréal samedi matin pour une brève cérémonie et le dévoilement des nouvelles plaques.
« Il s’agit d’une cérémonie qui célèbre la première institution à offrir un enseignement supérieur francophone à Cornwall. » a déclaré Robert Marleau. « Ces deux plaques que nous allons dévoiler ne sont à peine qu’une
contributions subséquentes à la société canadienne et internationale. »
Les plaques racontent comment, en 1949, les Clercs de Saint-Viateur, un ordre religieux fondé en France en 1831, ont été mandatés pour construire une école de garçons à Cornwall qui est devenue la première école secondaire catholique francophone de la région. En raison du succès de l’école, les
Clercs ont construit en 1955 le Collège clas sique de Cornwall sur les rives du fleuve Saint-Laurent, à un endroit alors connu sous le nom de la Pointe du Moulin.
Les pensionnaires venaient à l’école de nombreux endroits proches et lointains, dont Apple Hill, Ottawa, Alexandrie, le Manitoba, le Nouveau-Brunswick, les États-Unis et même le Mexique, pour n’en nommer que quelquesuns. Beaucoup d’anciens élèves du collège sont maintenant des leaders dans leurs industries et peuvent être trouvés à tous les
niveaux de la haute fonction publique. Ils comprennent le maire de Cornwall, des employés de la Bibliothèque du Parlement, des auteurs franco-ontariens publiés, et plus encore.
Le Collège classique de Cornwall était plus qu’une simple école; les Clercs étaient des bâtisseurs de la communauté franco-ontari enne dans la région. Désormais, l’héritage du Collège classique de Cornwall continuera de vivre pour que les nouvelles générations puissent en apprendre davantage.
We happily announce that Chad Maxwell (son of David & Irma Maxwell) & Amanda Mason (daughter of Bonnie & Brian Mason)
Were married on the 24th of September 2022
The private ceremony occurred at Ponderosa Ranch with their families.
is turning 6!
Celebrating on September 28th, 2022
Lots of love from maman, papa, baby sister Adelynn, family, friends and her best fur buddy Zeus xoxo
