Maureen Adams announced as new SDG Counties CAO

THE COUNTIES, Ontario – Following a comprehensive recruitment process, Warden Carma Williams is pleased to announce that Maureen Adams has been named the new Chief Administrative Officer of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, effect ive Jan. 3, 2023.

“On behalf of Counties Council I wish to welcome Maureen Adams into her new role as Chief Administrative Officer. Council is thrilled to be making this excit ing announcement as we chart a positive course into 2023,” said Warden Williams.

Adams is the first female to be named CAO of SDG Counties and brings with her extensive experience in both the private and public sectors. Before joining SDG Counties Adams was the CAO of the City of Cornwall, a role she held for six years beginning in 2016. Adams joined the City of Cornwall in 2008 as the Chief Financial Officer.

Adams’ time in local government is complemented by a 20-year private sec tor career in both banking and manufacturing.

“I am looking forward to working along side County Council and the Warden as we embark on this new opportunity together,” said Adams. “Working for an upper-tier municipality presents me with new and exciting challenges and I antici pate building on the strong relationship SDG Counties enjoys with its local municipalities.”

County Council led the recruitment pro cess to fill the CAO position following the retirement announcement of Tim Simpson this past summer.

“County Council conducted a robust search for the successor of CAO Tim Simpson,” said Warden Williams. “We could not be more delighted with the results.”

City Hall Snippets

Here’s a good daily dose of encouragement! “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those whoarecrushedinspirit.” Psalm 34:18

We’ve all had our heart broken in some way— by disappointment, fear, shame, rejection, or ridicule. At times, you can even experience this heartache in your family. But never forget that God cares about your pain. He understands you. In fact, it is in your pain that God can be closest to you, whether you realize it or not.

In the Bible, Luke 4:18 Jesus took a wonderful Old Testament passage from the prophet Isaiah and applied it to what he would bring: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.”

Remember, “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit”. How does he do that? By giving us a heart transplant.

For the guilty heart; God wants to give you a heart that’sfullofforgiveness.

For the anxious heart; Jesuswantstogiveyouaheart ofpeace.

For the lonely heart; God wants to give you a comfortedheart.

For the bitter and angry heart; Jesuswantstogiveyou anewheartthatisfulloflove.

He wants to give you a heart transplant and set you free.

Why do we need freedom? Because we’re all bound to the expectations of others. We’re tied to past failures, future fears, current pressure, the opinions of society, and more.

People can feel that to come to the Lord with our fears and failures will be met with lecturing and condemnation. But don’t be afraid. Those who come in humble confession, God receives and forgives. There won’t be any future condemnation for those who find their refuge in Jesus. The Lord sets us free from the burdensome demands of the old ‘law.’ In Jesus, all things can become new! “The law of the Spirit of life sets us free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2 We can stop doubting God! You can’t imagine how much he wants to do with your life. Open your heart to him, and receive a new life transplant!

The five-team format includes Team Canada East, Team Canada West, Latvia, Sweden and the United States. The Latvian entry will be its national junior team, as part of its prepara tions for the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship in Halifax, N.S., and Moncton, N.B.

“The unveiling of the schedule for the 2022 World Junior A Challenge is an important step as we prepare to host eight days of exciting, high-caliber hockey, allowing fans to secure their seats to watch five great teams in our city,” said Lorne Taillon, chair of the local organizing committee. “Having experienced this event first-hand in 2019, fans in Cornwall and across Canada can expect to be treated to high ly-skilled, fast-paced hockey that includes future stars of the game competing for a gold medal on the international stage.”

The official tournament schedule features four preliminary-round games for each team between December 11th – 16th, kicking off with Team Canada East taking on Latvia at 1 pm and Team Canada West facing off against the United States on opening night. The top four teams will advance to the medal round, with the bronze medal and gold medal games taking place at 1 pm and 5 pm, respectively, on Sunday, December 18th. TSN and RDS, the official broadcast part ners of Hockey Canada, will broadcast the bronze and gold medal game; please check local listings for details.

ACFO

innovative free thrift store, called a ‘Friperie’ in French, opened at La Citadelle in May of this year.

The mission of this thrift store is unique: to serve immigrants and refugees who are coming to Canada with nothing and help them get established with necessities like clothing, housewares, and furniture.

The store is currently housed in a 3,375 square foot space donated for free by La Citadelle high school in partnership with the CSDCEO (Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien).

It is staffed by ACFO and run by many volunteers, including refugees who are waiting for a work permit and special needs students from La Citadelle who take great pride in the work they do there.

Right now, ACFO is putting out an urgent request to the community for donations of winter clothing, specifically winter boots for children, in the next two weeks.

The priority is to get warm boots to chil dren who are in school before the colder weather hits, so their learning isn’t inter rupted because they don’t have winter gear.

“When you come from another country, you don’t know what winter is about. They start hearing things and they panic. They say, ‘we are cold.’ It’s true because they are not from here. They really need warm clothes,” explained Djenane Turenne, an ACFO employee who works at the Friperie.

Although they are widely known as a local French association, ACFO SDG is much more. They partner with organiza tions both French and English to offer local solutions to global problems. They aim to welcome and integrate newcomers into our community, who in turn will assist in solving Cornwall’s urgent labor shortage.

“We know we can’t solve the world’s problems but when they are here in our

with Winter Clothing for Refugees

backyard, we do everything through our resources, partnerships and community cohesion to resolve those issues because it is very important for us.

We are a city and an area in Cornwall and SDG with a big heart, so we try to help people.

Also, it is very important for us as a community for our future economic development to be able to retain people who want to stay here,” said ACFO SDG President Jean-Yves Lemoine.

Since March 11, ACFO has helped more than 365 families from 20 countries get the basics they need their new lives in Canada.

Devcore Group recently donated 4 trucks of used furniture to further assist refugees and asylum seekers with the next stages of integration: finding housing and getting settled.

Donations of winter clothes and other household items can be dropped off at ACFO, located at 146C Chevrier Avenue from 9am - 4:30pm Monday to Friday. Monetary donations can be sent by e-transfer to info@acfosdg.ca. Donations over $20 are eligible for a tax receipt.

Finally – a fitting tribute to a Cornwall icon is in the works

SEAWAY NEWS

Bob Turner, the first person of colour to be hired as a recreation director in Canada here in Cornwall way back in 1957, is likely to be immortalized once again in the Seaway City, with what we understand is a statue that will be erected in Lamoureux Park.

We say finally, because it’s only been nine years since the Bob Turner Memorial Centre was demolished. ‘The Bob’ was named after Turner in 1961, when the beloved rec director passed away at just 35, following complica tions from surgery.

The Bob was the centre of rec hockey and a host of other activities over the years, before being torn down to make way for the Benson Centre. The city has erected a display at the main entrance to the Benson Centre, but many in Cornwall have wondered if this enough.

We can tell you it isn’t. Enough, that is.

Which is why, when we learned of the plan to erect a statue downtown, we became very excited.

Local supporters, including Coun. Claude McIntosh, community organizer Kelly Bergeron and others, have been pushing for something, anything, to be done to recognize Turner’s impact with more passion.

Turner was not simply a pencil pusher. Turner came from New York City. As a product of the Big Apple sports was in his DNA. Turner played for the Harlem Globetrotters (yup, the Globetrotters) and was even drafted by the Chicago White Sox.

His passion for sports and young people was evident in his short time in Cornwall. The fact that he was black, and that it was the late 1950s when Cornwall saw fit to hire him, speaks volumes for some of the pressures

Some things are simple to use

Nick Wolochatiuk

NUTHILLTOO@GMAIL.COM

I recently got something that will probably be quite useful to me, but only after I figure out what’s printed on the lengthy instruction sheet that came with it. In the meantime, I’ll tell you about a really useful thing that I’ve been using since 1976.

It’s almost as tall as I am. One end is squared off and has the last 4” beveled. The rest of it is rounded, smooth and about twice the diameter of a broom handle. It’s really heavy. I don’t remember where I got it, other than I didn’t get it at a store. It was secondhand or more when it came into my posses sion. I quite often neglect to return it to the toolshed, but exposure to the elements never

tarnishes its patina. There is no misuse, abuse or neglect that could damage it.

A factoid I encountered in a 1952 high school physics class gave me all I needed to know about how to use it. Without any acces sory at all I started using it to pound holes for fence posts in the gravelly Glengarry ground.

I soon encountered a slab of sedimentary rock lurking just below the sparse topsoil. No amount of shovelling got it to budge. That’s when something from Physics 101 came to the rescue. It was the word ‘fulcrum’. I forced the bevelled end of my iron bar under the stubborn rock, with a small slab of split fire wood under the bevelled end. No movement.

A thicker slab replaced the small one, closer to the tip of the bar. I put all my weight on the opposite end of the bar, then bounced vigor ously on the high end as if it were a car jack or a water pump handle.

Finally, I fell to the ground, but shifted the

he felt in Cornwall.

While Turner enjoyed broad PUBLIC sup port, behind the scenes he had to face racism and prejudices. Turner rose above those challenges – and his efforts to that end are why we celebrate his life today.

When the city rightly decided that The Bob had to go (it was too old, and too expensive to operate) the first concern was what would be done with Turner’s legacy? Those in our community who are older than 40 know much of the Turner story. But the young people who traffic in and out of the Benson Centre are unlikely to have the same appreciation as their parents.

Which is why a more public display of

Turner and his work in Cornwall is deserving. Lamoureux Park is our golden jewel on the St. Lawrence River. It is the envy of other com munities on the river – a massive expanse of public space fit for cycling, walking, lounging, watching fireworks, working out, launching a boat, etc. etc.

In short, Bob Turner – as a recreation man ager – would have LOVED Lamoureux Park. But when he was alive, there was no park. There was a canal system and a torrent of swirling water on the river.

Today the swirling torrent lives on, but the park has become our community backyard. That is the place where Turner’s legacy can and should finally live into eternity.

rock. Fait accompli! The Law of Leverage states that with a long enough lever, a large fulcrum and sufficient downward force, any thing in the world can be moved.

Back to what I mentioned at the beginning of my story. It’s a ‘puffer’, an inhaler pre scribed for a recent bout of lung congestion. The instruction sheet that came with it was lengthier than those given to an astronaut or nuclear reactor contractor. The font size 5 instructions repeatedly included terms such as “Failure to comply with these instructions can result in injury or death.” Also stated: “Serious side effects may include nausea, vomiting, numbness, pimples, fatigue, diar rhea and blurred vision”.

If the pry bar ever came with a set of instructions, I’m sure it made no mention of things like that.

Keep it simple for me – because I’m simple too.

It Was Called The ‘Smell Of Money’

Claude McIntosh MAC’S

At an Oct. 15, 1962 council meeting, an alderman asked what would it cost to eradi cated pollution in the city?

The answer given by the chair of the anti-pollution committee – the quintessential paper tiger - at the 1962 council meeting was “hundreds of millions (of dollars).”

Several aldermen said they were receiving complaints from residents east of Courtaulds that clothes left on the line were being dis coloured by pollution. West-end residents complained paint on homes was being dis coloured. Complaints of irritating odour came from all over the city.

In the summer, the stench from a rendering plant on Cumberland Street was unbearable.

Residents on Brookdale Avenue across from C-I-L were warned against planting gardens.

A Lancaster commercial fisherman suc cessfully sued the paper company for pollut ing the St. Lawrence River and harming his business. Courtaulds routinely paid fines for polluting the river, until a judge threatened to jail the head of the company.

The Catholic school board moved St. Francis de Sales school to the top of schoolsto-close list because of the poor air quality in the school yard. A study was done that showed the rate of asthma in children in the vicinity of Courtaulds and Domtar plants was higher than the provincial average.

It was no coincidence that paint peeled off

the Seaway International Bridge.

When the Royals brought their No. 1 draft pick and his family to Cornwall for a weekend, Gord Wood, director of player personnel, would say, “Don’t let them get a whiff of the mill.”

It all gave the city an unsavoury image.

In the 1970s the Standard-Freeholder ran an excellent series on the city’s pollution plague. The front-page carried a photo of smoke hanging over the paper mill. The head line screamed “The Smell of Money”. The push back from city hall and certain sectors of the business community was intense. The people who ran the mill weren’t happy either.

The Standard-Freeholder printed the plant’s Paper Mill Log, a monthly newsletter for employees. Somebody decided to pull the contract. What he didn’t know was that Thomson Newspapers, which owned the S-F, bought the newsprint for its 60 some news papers from Domtar. It was Domtar’s biggest single newsprint contract. One call from from Thomson HQ to Domtar HQ and the Log was back being printed at the S-F without missing an issue.

Canadians Need a Break

Eric Duncan

3 Minutes with the MP MP FOR STORMONT, DUNDAS & SOUTH GLENGARRY

Cornwall and SD&G are not immune from the serious strain most families and small businesses are facing in Canada.

The average family now spends 43% of their income on taxes; more than food, shel ter and clothing combined. Nationally, hous ing prices have doubled and locally, the aver age house price has doubled over the last 5 years to more than $417,000.

Inflation is at a forty year high. Food bank

use has tripled, breaking new records every month. The House of Lazarus in Mountain has seen a dramatic 45% increase in clients this year alone - and that is before skyrock eting home heating bills come due this winter.

Simply put: Canadians are hurting. The solutions offered by the Liberal-NDP coalition double-down on the same failed policies that put us in this crisis in the first place.

So, you may ask: what would Conservatives do instead?

Our new Leader Pierre Poilievre and my Conservative colleagues have proposed sev eral solutions in Parliament this fall.

First, the Liberal-NDP coalition needs to

The school was later re-named RothwellOsnabruck District High School. ... The Simpson-Sears outlet at 333 Pitt St. announced it would be open on Wednesday afternoons. .. The city was looking for a new landfill site to replace one east of the city. ... The local office of the Children’s Aid Society (office on York Street) had 13 social workers working with 295 children.

1962 PART TWO The district Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) represent ative offered an unflattering opinion of Cornwall after a six-day strike was settled. He called Cornwall a “horse and buggy town.” He said he wasn’t pleased with the settlement but it was the best the union could get with out prolonging the strike. Base hourly wage went to $2.66 an hour in the two-year con tract. ... The city launched an ambitious tree-planting program aimed at planting 4,000 seedlings in city parks and on vacant property. ... City native Grant Wereley gradu ated from the RCMP training depot in Regina. He was posted to British Columbia. ... Cornwall native William Upper was named Alexandria parks/arena manager. He later became manager of the Cornwall Civic Complex. ... St. Lawrence High School Saints defeated South Grenville Giants 12-10 but it wasn’t enough to win the two-game, totalpoints EOSSA football final. The Saints lost the first game 19-13. Paul Kilger scored both SLHS touchdowns in the win. ... Cornwall Royals held on to first place in the Quebec Junior Hockey League west division with a 4-2 win over Verdun Maple Leafs. Barry Brooks,

two, Pierre Duguay and Garry Herrington scored for the Royals.

HERE AND THERE: Montreal Canadiens drafted Patrick Roy in the third round of the 1984 draft. They took Vladislav Tretiak in the seventh round. Both are in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Troy Crosby, the third goalie drafted by the Canadiens (12th round), will never be in the hall of fame, but his son Sidney will be after he retires. ... Mayoral candidate sug gested that Cornwall Police Service should get rid of the Calea accreditation program and replace it something less expensive. Great idea. Except for one thing. The service got rid of the program two years ago. Guess he didn’t get the memo. ... Kudos to defeated South Glengarry mayor Lyle Warden for his classy post-election Facebook post. Warden lost to former South Glengarry treasurer Lachlan McDonald. ... Faced with potential stagflation combined with a debt crisis in the new year, governments at all levels faced some tough choices. ... Hard to find a bigger political train wreck than former New York City mayor/Trump stooge Rudy Giuliani.

scrap their proposed tax increases. On January 1st, a payroll tax increase will take more money out of your paycheque.

On April 1st, the ineffective carbon tax increases again, and it’s set to triple at a time when people can’t even afford the most basic necessities.

To be clear: emissions continue to increase every single year and after seven years of being in office, the Liberals have missed every single environmental target they set with this punishing tax in place.

This inflationary spending, deficit and debt is not sustainable for our federal budget, let alone your household budget.

Conservatives propose capping

government spending to get our federal budget under control, prioritizing our housing supply shortage by removing red tape, and incentivizing municipalities to build more homes quickly.

There is a clear difference between our Conservative approach and that of the Liberal-NDP coalition. We have heard from Canadians loud and clear: now is the worst time to raise taxes and add more unpaid for spending to our country’s credit card.

Canadians need a break.

As your voice in Ottawa, I will keep fighting against these unjust tax increases and for solutions that will actually make life more affordable here in SD&G and Cornwall.

Menard Park rat problem plagues residents of Ivan Crescent

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

A decision by the City of Cornwall to save money by not cutting grass on the west side of Menard Park has had an unexpected ripple effect. Residents of Ivan Crescent have noticed many field rats in their backyards since the grass in the park adjacent to their properties has been allowed to grow out.

The city chose to stop cutting the grass on one side of Menard Park last year, a decision that the neighbourhood has not been happy with. After calling and emailing members of city council, a tractor was sent to cut the grass and weeds once this summer, but otherwise the area has been left to grow wild.

“I have a large deck with a swimming pool in my back yard and always keep the rodents in control since I don’t want to have them getting in the house,” explained Jody Bilmer, who has been a resident of Ivan Crescent for 7 years, “My neighbors were sitting on their deck and noticed something in my BBQ and mentioned it to our daughter. I assumed it was a mouse and checked my security cam eras to find a very large rat running across and living under my deck. I purchased a couple of rat traps and caught 2 large rats the first night.”

After speaking with her neighbours, Bilmer realized that she was not alone. Other

cleaning trash and debris.

Because of the rat problem and the fact that kids often run through this park, residents of Ivan Crescent feel the grass should be cut regularly. The money being saved by not cut ting the grass is not worth the problems being faced by residents who pay thousands in property taxes each year.

No-Corrode - OH No!

Performance Realty

You have found the home you really want and your Realtor® suggests a sewer lateral inspection along with a home inspection should be completed. Why you ask? Because it could be a trip down a rabbit hole and the Buyer, Seller or both might not be too happy with the results.

First, a little background information. The sewer line that carries wastewater from the sanitary fixtures and floor drains inside your home to the city’s main sewer line is called a sewer lateral. The property owner owns and is responsible for maintaining the sewer lat eral from inside the home to the point where it connects with the city`s main sewer line at the street. The sewer lateral typically is made from PVC (modern), and older materials such as cast iron, clay, transite and the dreaded no-corrode pipe.

No-corrode is a pipe that was made locally

from paper and tar rolled into a thick tube similar to a wrapping paper tube only much thicker. While it was thought to be a good idea at the time, after a few decades or longer under the home, it often blisters and collaps es. The only way to remove it is to have a plumber dig up the basement floor, dig up the front yard and install a new pipe inside and outside of the house and have it reconnected to the city portion of the sewer. This can be expensive, messy, and inconvenient. When no-corrode is discovered during an inspection it usually means another negotiation must be made because someone has to pay to have it fixed. It can be the Seller paying to have the work done or the Buyer asking for a reduced price and getting the work done when they take possession. Even if you don’t think the sewer lateral is no-corrode, it is still a good decision to have it checked because you may still have blockages such as roots, grease, or a partially collapsed sewer lateral.

In the grand scheme of things, it is not a lot of money for peace of mind especially if you wish to have a finished basement.

Talk with your Realtor®they are here to help.

Local Artist Shares Passion

Local Artist Yafa Goawily is putting Cornwall on the map in the arts community.

The founder of Cornwall Art Hive Yafa Goawily has a deep passion for the arts and how it can be used to bring people together. Yafa recently spoke at Concordia University for a symposium on community-defined evidence: Health, Creativity and the Power of the People.

Goawily participated in a session that spoke to the use of shopping malls as social infrastructure for creativity and mental health, through a com munity-defined evidence Lens. Goawily was selected for the symposium after her success in creating Cornwall Art Hive and using the Cornwall Square mall as the avenue to provide events and introduce new people to the local arts community.

“The Art Hive is a gathering for people, you don’t have to be an artist. It’s for anyone,” Goawily says. “It offers people an outlet as well as a chance to make new friends in a judgement free zone.”

To Goawily, art is therapeutic and she is on a mission to share it with as many people as she can. In the past, Goawily had been engaged in projects pertaining to human’s rights all over the world and worked on art projects with less privil eged children.

Today Yafa works to bring people together and create an inclusive space for anyone that wants to create.

Saturday, October 22 was a big day for the Cornwall Public Library as they welcomed the community for the first Family Fun Day in sev eral years.

They had many activities for kids upstairs including the popular game, The Floor is Lava, as well as a Halloween/fall-themed sensory room set up by My Twins Bins. Later in the day they played the movie Hocus Pocus in one of the programming rooms.

As families entered the library, they were given a passport sheet and encouraged to get stamps at each of the local exhibitors’ tables for a chance to win a Kids Korner gift card or a Barbeque provided by Walmart.

“Family Fun Day was an overwhelming suc cess! I cannot be more pleased with how everything went,” said Pierre Dufour, Cornwall Public Library’s Communications and Programs Manager, “It was impressive thing to see so many people came out on such a beautiful fall Saturday. Many families, many with strollers could be seen in the exhibit area as well as in the children’s department where other activities were being held. It was a wonderful way to cap off Ontario Public Library Week, a week where we celebrate our libraries in Ontario.”

Dufour explained that the fun continues as the library is in full membership drive until the end of November. Prizes will be drawn at the

Baby-boom à l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall

L’été dernier, l’Hôpital communautaire de Cornwall (HCC) a connu son plus grand nom bre de naissances en cinq ans.

Plus de 200 bébés sont nés à l’unité de travail et d’accouchement de l’hôpital de juin à fin septembre, une hausse de 11 % par rapport à la même période l’an dernier. Rien ne laisse croire à un ralentissement, puisque l’hôpital continue de déclarer des naissances record depuis début octobre.

La dernière fois où c’était aussi occupé, c’était à l’été 2017, où 229 bébés sont nés. Contrairement à cette année-là, il n’y a pas de ralentissement cet automne, une tend ance qui devrait se poursuivre cet hiver. Tout porte à croire que le record de 527 naissances de l’année dernière sera dépassé.

Une autre tendance croissante observée est le nombre d’accouchements effectués par des sages-femmes. L’été dernier, ces dernières ont mis au monde plus de bébés que jamais auparavant. Elles font partie du groupe Sages-femmes premières tendress es, qui détient des droits à l’HCC. L’hôpital et le groupe soutiennent fièrement de nom breuses mères enceintes qui souhaitent vivre cette expérience unique, tout en accouchant dans l’environnement sécuritaire d’un hôpital.

« Je pense que ça prouve les grandes compétences de notre équipe d’obstétrici ens, de pédiatres, d’infirmiers, d’inhalothéra peutes, de sages-femmes et bien d’autres. Ils sont fiers de collaborer pour offrir une expérience exceptionnelle de soins centrés sur les personnes, tout en favorisant une cul ture de gentillesse, de compassion et d’em pathie », explique Jeanette Despatie, présidente et directrice générale de l’HCC. « Je suis fière que notre hôpital ait gagné la confiance de tant de mères et de familles », ajoute-t-elle.

« Le personnel est très heureux de voir toute cette activité à l’hôpital », affirme Jackie Girard, gestionnaire du Programme

trois enfants ici; sa fille Nori vient de naître le 27 septembre 2022.

« Peu importe le nombre d’accouchements ce jour-là, on m’a fait sentir comme si j’étais la seule patiente à l’hôpital. Le personnel était extrêmement attentif à mes besoins et semblait vraiment heureux de voir naître ma fille Nori », explique Kristen, qui souligne que ses expériences étaient toutes meilleures d’une fois à l’autre. « C’est pourquoi j’ai donné naissance à mes trois enfants à Cornwall; je savais que je serais entre bonnes mains », a ajouté Kristen.

La saison de la grippe est là et le vaccin antigrippal est plus important que jamais!

Avec l’arrivée de l’automne et du temps plus frais, c’est aussi le retour de la saison de grippe. Le vaccin antigrippal est le meilleur outil de protection contre la grippe et à cause de la présence de la COVID-19 dans la com munauté, il est plus important que jamais de vous faire vacciner. Il est maintenant autorisé d’administrer le vaccin antigrippal conjointe ment avec le vaccin contre la COVID-19 – une étape clé pour demeurer en santé en cette saison. Le vaccin antigrippal est disponible et recommandé à toutes les personnes âgées de 6 mois et plus.

« Maintenant que les gens ont plus d’inter actions entre eux et que les virus de la grippe et du rhume sont encore une fois en circula tion dans la communauté, il est particulière ment important que tout le monde se fasse vacciner contre la grippe cet automne », dit le Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Médecin hygiéniste du Bureau de santé de l’est de l’Ontario (BSEO).

« La COVID et la grippe ont des symptômes en commun mais malgré leurs similarités, le vaccin contre la COVID ne vous protégera pas de la grippe. Le vaccin antigrippal peut vous permettre de rester en santé et de réduire les pressions sur les centres de soins de santé dont les ressources sont déjà étirées. »

Le vaccin antigrippal est disponible partout dans la région

Le vaccin antigrippal est offert à différents

endroits dans les cinq comtés de l’Est et dans Cornwall chez les fournisseurs de soins de santé, les centres de santé commun autaire, et les pharmacies participantes. Le vaccin est également disponible sur ren dez-vous au BSEO pour les enfants de 6 mois à moins de 5 ans et leur famille immédiate. Consultez BSEO.ca pour savoir comment prendre rendez-vous.

Groupes à risque élevé de complications à cause de la grippe

Certains groupes de personnes courent de plus grands risques de complications liées à la grippe et sont fortement encouragés à se faire immuniser. Ils sont entre autres :

• Les enfants de 6 mois à moins de 5 ans

• Les personnes de 65 ans et plus

• Les personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques

Le vaccin est aussi fortement recommandé pour ceux qui habitent avec une personne à risque élevé de complications ou pour ceux qui s’occupent d’elles ou de nouveau-nés et d’enfants de moins de 6 mois. Cette simple précaution peut vous protéger ainsi que les gens autour de vous.

Pourquoi privilégier l’achat local plutôt que les géants du commerce en ligne?

Les géants du commerce en ligne (Amazon, Alibaba, etc.) deviennent rapide ment un choix séduisant quand vient le temps de magasiner, notamment en raison des prix réduits et de l’accessibilité des produits. Or, avant de jeter votre dévolu sur ceux-ci, songez qu’il y a de nombreux avan tages à payer un peu plus cher et, parfois, à attendre quelques jours de plus avant de recevoir votre commande. Voici pourquoi vous devriez soutenir vos marchands locaux :

•Un circuit court : le consommateur est responsable du trajet emprunté par les pro duits qu’il se procure. Lorsque vous achetez chez un géant du commerce en ligne, votre marchandise peut parcourir des milliers de kilomètres et générer une importante quantité de gaz à effet de serre avant d’arriver à votre porte. Avec l’achat local, la pollution atmosphérique est gran dement diminuée.

•Une meilleure gestion des ressources: les produits fabriqués ici sont conçus avec le souci d’utiliser des sources d’énergie et des matériaux renouvelables. C’est entre autres le cas des produits faits à partir d’hydroélectricité ou de forêts gérées de manière écoresponsable.

•Des conseils personnalisés : que vous magasiniez sur place ou sur le site d’une boutique locale, vous pouvez toujours obtenir de l’aide, notamment en communi quant avec le commerçant par téléphone ou clavardage. Cela vous permet d’orienter vos courses, chose impossible à faire auprès des géants en ligne. En personne, vous pouvez également voir, essayer et toucher les produits pour confirmer votre choix.

Bon magasinage!
