The 3 Pillars of Sustainability

Angela Parker Eco Update

SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT COORDINATOR CITY OF CORNWALL

It is not all about the natural environment when it comes to sustainability. To be sustainable means being able to meet our own needs without compromising the capacity of future generations to meet their own life essentials. This requires both social and economic resources, in addition to ecology. For example, a sustainable company would do business without negatively impacting the environment, community, or society. Ultimately, the three pillars of sustainability are environment, social, and economics. So, to be sustainable, humans need to have necessities, the economy needs to be stable to invest in the well-being of people and ecosystems, and the physical environment needs to stay in good shape, now and in the future.

Last week, I attended the Sustainable Communities Conference in Ottawa. This annual conference hosted by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities was well-attended by municipal staff, elected officials, federal officials, and private sector experts from across the country. It was four days of discussions and information sharing, for making Canadian communities more environmentally, socially, and economically vibrant… AKA sustainable! One of the topics I found incredibly interesting

discussed intersectional environmentalism, which is an inclusive approach to environmentalism that identifies the ways in which injustices happening to marginalized communities and the earth are interconnected. Have you heard of Canada’s “Chemical Valley” or Nova Scotia’s Africville?

The conference was an incredible experience, and I was lucky to be able to attend to learn and to also share my knowledge and experience. I will bring what I learned to my role and continue to help shape Cornwall into becoming a more sustainable city.

I am thrilled to announce that Council approved No Mow May for 2023, and Earth Week and Eco Day planning is in full force. Like last year, you can voluntarily register your property to receive a No Mow May sign, which can be picked up this year on April 22 in Lamoureux Park during the City’s 3rd Annual Eco Day. This year, to host an educational booth, you will need to fill out an application form, due to significant interest. Applications open February 21 and close on March 3. Apply through this link: http://bit.ly/3EgjTg2.

And lastly, the following volunteer positions with the community’s Bird Friendly Group are vacant: Chair and Volunteer Coordinator. Would you like to help us make Cornwall a Bird Friendly City? College students are welcome to inquire. Those interested can reach out to me at aparker@ cornwall.ca.

4 benefits of using technology in retirement homes

Technology is playing an increasingly significant role in retirement homes. Here are four benefits of embracing technology as you age and residents in Chateau Glengarry Retirement Living are learning new technology skills .

1. CONNECT WITH LOVED ONES Nothing can replace in-person interactions, but video chats, texting and social networking sites like Facebook can keep you connected with your loved ones anywhere in the world. Studies have shown that social connection plays a crucial role in health and longevity.

Winter Parking

Like many other communities, the City of Cornwall has overnight winter parking restrictions in place during the winter season.

2023 Budget

Want to see what is being spent where?

You can find the 2023 budget at: www.Cornwall.ca/budget

2. STAY MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY ACTIVE Interactive video games like Wii Golf and Wii Bowling are fun and can motivate you to get your body moving. Physical games can improve your strength, balance and aerobic endurance.

Moreover, you can play various “brain games” on a tablet or smartphone. For example, games like Tetris and Solitaire help with spatial recognition and memory, while logic games like Sudoku and chess improve problem-solving skills.

3. INCREASE SAFETY Personal monitoring devices like smartwatches can track your steps, heart rate, sleep

patterns and stress levels to keep you on top of your health. Some devices provide emergency support like fall detection, which can immediately contact emergency responders or a trusted contact when needed.

4. IMPROVE CONVENIENCE It’s now possible to shop for groceries and other items online or through an app and have them delivered to your apartment. This is helpful if you have limited mobility or don’t want to risk going out in bad weather.

Learning to use technology can open doors and provide significant benefits for people of all ages, including seniors.

12-Storey apartment proposed for Montreal Rd. Chamber Awards celebrate local business stars

KRYSTINE THERRIAULT ktherriault@seawaynews.media

The property next to La Maison which used to be a full-service gas station and has long since been an eyesore is set to see some development in the coming years. A proposed 12-storey apartment building consisting of 160 rental units plans to bring some much-needed housing stock to the area by 2025 as well as develop a key corner of Le Village.

The total construction cost of the 160-unit development is an estimated $44 million. The units will range in size from 410 square feet to 1014 square feet, with monthly rent ranging from approximately $1,377/month to $2,150/ month. Around 50% of the units will meet the city’s affordable housing criteria.

The owner of the property, 910 Montreal Cornwall L.P., is a subsidiary of Quebec developer Swimko Construction. Since 2010, Swimko Construction has successfully built over 500 residential buildings in the greater Montreal area with no signs of slowing down.

In a report to Cornwall city council, the Department of Planning, Development and Recreation recommended that council approve

the developer’s request for a site-specific Tax Increment Grant (TIG) for 20 years at 90%. The property at 910 Montreal Road is 1 of 6 vacant properties included in an extended TIG program established in 2021.

The property’s worth is currently assessed at $100,000. In 2022, the city collected $2,126.47 in municipal taxes on the property. The estimated assessment value of the property after the proposed build is $30,981,000 (using 2022 values). Even with a 90% rebate in their yearly taxes, the city stands to make much more from this development than they currently are from the property as is –approximately $50,000 in the first year alone.

Housing plan update presented to City Council

The Cornwall SDG Human Services Department presented their Housing Plan Update to city council on February 13th. The ten-page document outlines the current state of housing in Cornwall and SDG, the department’s housing-first approach, revitalization plan, and updates on the new developments at Ninth & McConnell, Pitt Street North, and the expansion of the existing Morris Glen site in Morrisburg.

“One of the statistics that was highlighted in [the report] that I thought was just so poignant was the cost differential between shelter beds vs. social housing,” said councilor Good at the meeting.

The Housing Plan Update states that shelter beds are almost 10 times more expensive to run than social housing. The average

monthly cost of shelter beds is $1,932 compared to $199.92 for social housing.

“So, what we know is, any sort of emergency or even transitional housing are some of the most expensive forms of housing. The biggest return of investment on what we would put into housing is building more affordable housing,” replied Lisa Smith, Human Services Manager.

“Research now shows us that if you really want to make an impact with someone who is homeless, you get them housed, then you wrap around them and try to keep them in that housing, “ added Smith.

To take a regional approach to affordable housing and homelessness concerns in Cornwall and SDG, the report also includes details on the creation of the Affordable Housing Progress and Development Collaborative (A HOME Collaborative). The

This annual event has taken place in Cornwall for five years, with the last two years being virtual due to COVID-19.

“At the ACIAEO, we work to promote our culture. We are not fighting against racism, but instead of that we are showing who we are as black people, what we do,” President of the Association, Calixte Yepseu, told Seaway News.

The afternoon consisted of speeches, traditional music and dancing, a fashion show showcasing traditional African clothing,

“During Black History Month, we did a lot of activities in schools because we understood that we need to socialize kids at school. Most people don’t know about black culture. At the end of the day, our main goal as an organiza tion is to have an inquisitive and diverse Canada,” Yepseu shared.

The ACIAEO welcomes the public to their events in the hopes of sharing knowledge and understanding of different cultures. Anyone can become a member. In addition to their Black History Month events, the ACIAEO hosts a BBQ on the third Saturday in August.

UCDSB update on new logo and Black History Month

PROVIDED BY THE UCDSB

We are excited to share that the Upper Canada District School Board has a new logo!

The current UCDSB logo was adopted when the school board was first amalgamated more than 20 years ago. Our school board has gone through significant changes since amalgamation and continues to evolve.

The UCDSB is a people-centred organization, with the goal to welcome, educate and inspire everyone that comes through its doors. Our mission is to prepare all students

for a successful life and this refreshed logo adds excitement to our mission and visually represents what is at the heart of our organization.

This logo was derived from feedback from staff, students and parents/guardians. The main element is still a maple leaf, but at the centre of the leaf is a person with outstretched arms showing excitement. Within the leaf, on either side, sits a subtle depiction of books which represents our dedication to learning. The multi-colour approach represents diversity and our commitment to equity

grated into school communication, social media and the UCDSB website this month!

February is Black History Month

The UCDSB schools make efforts throughout the year to celebrate the valuable contributions of all Canadians. The communities that we serve are more diverse than ever before and it is very important that all students, staff and families see themselves reflected in our schools and school curriculum.

February is Black History Month across Canada. Our students will be celebrating Black History Month in many different ways. Here are some things you can do at home:

- Read books, graphic novels and poetry

centred on Black History and Culture on the Sora website or app. All UCDSB students have access

- Learn the history of Black History Month; and

- Watch the Heritage Minutes stories of Chloe Cooley, Jackie Shane, Richard Pierpoint and more on Historica Canada.

Reminders:

- Report cards will go home with students on or around February 16. The new logo won’t be on these, but you will see it on the end-ofyear report cards!

Two-Way Asylum Seeking Traffic at Border

Claude McIntosh MAC’S MUSINGS

INFO@CORNWALLSEAWAYNEWS.COM

There is two-way asylum-seeking traffic on the border that straddles Quebec/New York State/Vermont.

While thousands – one estimate is 50,000 in the last two years – of desperate displaced individuals and families make their way into the welcoming arms of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) via Roxham Road that links NYS and Quebec, hundreds more are making a more precarious and often dangerous sneak run into the U.S. from Quebec.

On the weekend a man from Mexico died of exposure in a New York State forest after leaving Quebec on foot.

U.S. officials say illegal immigration has skyrocketed in the last 12 months. The illegals enter Canada – most times at Trudeau Airport – as visitors and quickly hook up with smuggling networks and head for the border a couple of hours away.

Meanwhile, New York State is providing hundreds of illegal immigrants who have flooded the Big Apple with free bus tickets to the Quebec border. Former NDP federal leader turned political commentator Thomas Mulcair told CTV he heard that U.S. border guards are moonlighting as hired “guides” for asylum seekers trying to cross into Canada.

Sorry, but sorry doesn’t cut it.

So it was on Sunday when representatives from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada tried to smooth over the complete lack of communications with local stakeholders on the asylum seekers issue with a mea culpa.

Yes, the reps said, it was a mistake not to tip off the city that hundreds of asylum seekers were being moved to Cornwall from Quebec, and that the human tsunami would tax local health, social and education resources to the max.

Seems they were just too busy to sound the alarm.

This is akin to the weather prognosticators knowing that Cornwall is about to be hit with a catastrophic weather event but not telling the city. But henceforth, they promised, the lines of communication with be opened up. Can’t do much worse. To say the feds have done a shameful job on the Cornwall file would be a gross understatement. Who has more communication departments and PR hacks than the federal government, yet little if anything was communicated to local agencies on ground zero. *

By denying an east -end chip truck operator a permit in March, 1957, city council put the owner out of work.

Two councillors, both in the restaurant busi ness, complained that the man was being allowed to compete against people who had invested thousands of dollars in their busi nesses while he paid a $20 permit fee.

One of the two moved the motion to deny him a permit. The other seconded the motion. (Apparently conflict of interest rules didn’t exist).

George Ethier had operated two chip wag ons in the part of Cornwall Township absorbed by the city for three years. The wagons sup ported his family.

Ethier’s lawyer, Lucien Lamoureux, pleaded with councillors not to put his client out of work and doubted if his little operation was a threat to east Cornwall restaurants.

Ald. Hugh Dancause said it was “grossly unfair to put this man (Ethier) out or work.”

ALSO MARCH 1957 - Construction of the Royal Hotel at Montreal Road and McConnell Avenue was under way. It replaced the original hotel that was an east-end landmark. It was destroyed in a September 1956 fire. ... Oldest section of Cornwall Collegiate, facing Fourth Street, was torn down to make way for a new section. The old section was built in 1877. ... Television technician Henry Rabin became the first city resident with a colour TV set. Rabin put the set together himself. Most television networks and stations were broadcasting in black and white. Rabin said his set would be able to tune in Plattsburgh and Burlington TV stations which were broadcasting in colour. ...

Dear Editor:

Re: ODSP increase in income cap misses the mark for amputees

Earlier this month, the Ontario government touted a win when it announced that recipients of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) could now earn more money from working, without their ODSP support being affected. But for Ontarians with the most severe disabilities, including amputees, it’s status quo amidst the skyrocketing cost of living.

What the government misses completely is that amputees receiving ODSP simply cannot work – let alone work more – without the artificial arms or legs needed for basic tasks such as walking, dressing or holding objects. Thanks to outdated funding models from the Ontario government, these crucial artificial limbs are often impossible to afford for ODSP recipients, leaving amputees literally without a leg to stand on.

While Ontario’s Assistive Devices Program (ADP) states “75 per cent coverage” for artificial limbs, this coverage is based on outdated prosthetic costs. In reality, ADP covers only about 20 per cent of the cost of an artificial limb for the average Ontarian.

As a first step to alleviate this double whammy against amputees, ODSP must be increased to be on par with other provinces. At a maximum of $1,228 per month, Ontario lags behind Quebec ($1,463), BC ($1,358) and Alberta ($1,685). Better still, the government must recognize that this amount is well below the poverty line and provide a living wage to all persons with disabilities and increased coverage for artificial limbs – it’s the least we owe to Ontario’s most vulnerable and in need.

How gender equality boosts economic growth

Did you know that gender equality goes hand-in-hand with economic and financial stability? Women account for half the world’s working-age population. Therefore, the global economy suffers when they’re denied the opportunity to reach their full economic potential.

In countries where women have more equal opportunities, the economy is much more resilient, sustainable and competitive. According to a study by McKinsey Global Institute, closing the workforce gender gap could add as much as $28 trillion to the global GDP in 2025. Moreover, boosting women’s participation in the labour force could help offset the impact of a shrinking workforce in rapidly aging societies.

Women bring new skills to the workplace, increasing productivity and growth. Moreover, giving women equal opportunity to participate in agriculture and equipping them with climate-smart practices can accelerate progress toward addressing food insecurity and climate change.

International Women’s Day is observed annually on March 8. It’s a day to celebrate the achievements of women and help them continue to succeed in the business world. Here are four easy ways to support a female business owner in your community.

1. Buy from them. One of the best ways to empower female entrepreneurs is to buy their products or services. Actively look for womenowned businesses and support them whenever you can.

ways to empower women entrepreneurs in your community International Women’s DAY March 8, 2023

2. Spread the word. Social media is a powerful tool. Therefore, if you love a product or service from a woman-owned business, tell your friends and post about it on your social networks.

You may introduce others to a brand they may not have known otherwise.

3. Write a review. Leaving a review is one of the best ways for businesses to improve and grow. It can also help increase visibility.

4. Donate or invest. Women-led companies often struggle to get the funding they need to survive. You can support them by donating to causes that provide loans and grants to womenowned small businesses and underserved entrepreneurs. As the economy continues to be uncertain, your support can mean the difference between a woman-owned business staying afloat or sinking.

Although there has been significant progress toward gender equality, women still have fewer career opportunities and earn, on average, 16 per cent less than men. This International Women’s Day, it’s up to you to push for more aggressive change. Although governments and businesses play a crucial role in reducing the gender gap, so do you.

Cold Days, Warm Hearts

PROVIDED BY ROTARY CLUB OF CORNWALL SUNRISE

For women suffering domestic abuse including being trafficked, there is no time more challenging than the depth of winter. Again this year, the Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise and Starbucks (Cornwall) have teamed up to raise funds for both Maison Baldwin House and the Akwesasne Family Wellness Centre. Tickets for this fundraiser raffle can be purchased at Starbucks on Brookdale Ave. and from members of Sunrise Rotary. This campaign runs until March 1st .

Debbie Fortier, Executive Director, Maison Baldwin House, gave an update on

the current situation facing local women’s shelters. The challenges are numerous and accommodation is limited. Maison

Baldwin House is a 10-bed facility for women over age 16 years of age with/ without children who are the victims of domestic violence or human trafficking within the past 6 months. Provision of housing for homeless women is not permitted under their mandate.

The Covid pandemic has added an additional strain. Victims of human trafficking began to appear because “Johns” were unavailable and girls forced into prostitution were not being cared for by their pimps. Until recently, women’s shelters did not admit women without

identification documents.. that has changed with the recognition that victims of human trafficking do not have such documents….. they have been taken by their pimps. The girls have no money, no credit cards, no health cards or other ID, however, they frequently have drug and mental health issues, branding marks, etc.. Cornwall’s location on the 401 corridor is a contributing factor to the incidence of human trafficking and the need for the services of agencies like Maison Baldwin House.

Both helping girls trying to leave “the game” and sheltering women and their children from abusive home situation is extremely challenging and costly.

DANCING WITH THE CCH STARS

Meet (and pledge!)

Josee Amyot and Rhiannon St. Pierre

SPONSORED BY LAMINACORR

What we do at CCH:

Josee: I work with the Abuse and Sexual Assault Program (ASAP) at CCH. We’re a small group of nurses who provide care to individuals who have been sexually assaulted or are victims of intimate partner violence. We provide 24/7 coverage for our community. If you or someone you know experiences sexual assault or intimate partner violence, you can come our Emergency Department, ask for an ASAP nurse, and we will help you. I also work in the Emergency Department and on the Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT). ACTT supports clients with mental health diagnoses so they can live a good life within our community. We do our very best to help keep them at home, where possible, instead of being admitted to CCH.

Rhiannon: I manage health information services, business analytics, and privacy at CCH. I’ve worked at our hospital since 2011. I am passionate about the sensitivity of the information we work with and firmly believe that health information is an individual’s own to share.

A little about us …

Josee: I have a huge passion for helping people. I get so much satisfaction from contributing to positive outcomes from the most difficult situations. At work, helping patients find safety and support is the most important thing to me.

Rhiannon: I always knew I wanted to help people. While I’m not on the frontlines, I believe so strongly in our clinical team, and am proud to contribute to the work behind the scenes.

Josee and Rhiannon: Also? We found out we LOVE to dance! Before Dancing with the CCH Stars, our training was limited to kitchen dance parties, but now we look forward to our lessons on Sundays and we’ve even formed a friendship with our teacher, Cat. We love Studio C!

Why we’re dancing for CCH:

Josee: In March of 2022, I experienced burnout after working in Emergency and with the ASAP Program during the height of COVID. When I started recovering from burnout, I received the email about Dancing with the CCH Stars and felt excited to be part of something bigger to support our hospital. I love the staff at CCH and truly feel like we are a family. I would have never made it on the frontlines of the pandemic without my coworkers.

Rhiannon: I heard the news about Dancing with the CCH Stars when I was in my car. Like many individuals at CCH, I was feeling the pressure of the pandemic. This was taking me down a path of feeling disengaged, and I was struggling, so the announcement could not have come at a

more perfect time. I was so excited, I pulled over and sent a message that I needed a spot on one of the teams! I can’t wait to help make a difference at CCH!

Our project:

We’re fundraising and dancing to win $50,000 in new bedroom furniture for CCH’s inpatient mental health unit:

• Did you know CCH is the only hospital in our region outside of Ottawa with an inpatient mental health unit?

• New furniture, rated for behavioral units, is required to increase safety for patients and staff.

• $50,000 will purchase platform beds, desks, and chairs for six patient rooms.

Josee: It’s so important to take care of our mental health along with our physical health. It’s okay not to be okay, and together we can work to try and make things better. I have such an incredible support system and I don’t know how people cope without others to lean on. We need to talk about our services, create more awareness, and work to develop a stronger system of support.

Rhiannon: I’ve had my own struggles and know that many people, especially over the last number of years, have been through so much. I’m happy to share that I’ve used CCH’s services to support my own mental health, and I am so much stronger for it. I just want others to know it’s okay to share, it’s okay to ask for help, it’s okay to talk about it.

Please consider pledging us in our efforts to support local healthcare. CCHF will provide an official charitable receipt for any donation over $20 that contributes to our fundraising.

JOKE OF THE WEEK

A man and his granddaughter were sitting at the table having tea.

A fly lands on the table between them and the man asks his granddaughter to hand him the newspaper from the shelf next to her.

“ Newspapers are so old-fashioned, grandpa, here let me show you how to use the tablet,” she says, and hands him her iPad. That fly never stood a chance.

A string of new releases from a Cornwallbased songwriter will be available for listeners far and wide.

Wade Barras, the heart and soul of Parliament of Owls, has already released ‘Shallow Holes’ – the first single from his debut vinyl album ‘Volume 1’.

Barras, originally from Pembroke but having spent time in all parts of Canada, has established roots in the Seaway City and is ready to let his art do the talking from now on.

The big question, though, for a fellow who has yet to share his talents as a singer/songwriter, is what has inspired you to make this leap now?

“There are moments that you realize how short and fragile life is and that you can’t trust someone else’s opinion of you,” said Barras. “You owe it to yourself and the people you care about that are no longer with us in life to believe in your talent, and your dreams.

“I have lived, lost and loved in a short period of time and have adapted to wearing many

different hats along the way. Now it’s time to take all of those experiences and seize any opportunity that is put in front of me.”

The first opportunity is exploring his song-writing skills with a collection of original

content. Parliament of Owls will be releasing one song every month for the next six months starting with the first single ‘Shallow Holes’ which is available on all streaming sites for download.

Barras will build off the successes of the singles releases by putting together a string of live performances this spring and summer.

“I plan on performing in very unique locations that you wouldn’t necessarily consider to be a traditional venue,” said Barras. “The hope is to give my audience a unique, memorable experience that is a step away from the tradition bar/pub setting.

“My next steps is to get my music to as many ears as possible. I’m proud of these songs and I feel they can be enjoyed by many. So, if anyone enjoys my first single ‘Shallow Holes’ please feel free to share it with others that might enjoy it as well.”

The secret of them there ‘Mystery Balloons’

Nick Wolochatiuk DANCES WITH WORDS

Everyone is seeing balloons these days. NORAD, excited little boys playing in schoolyards, grown men staggering outside bars and holidayers on Florida beaches are detecting them. F-22 jet fighters are taking them down with Sidewinder missiles. The American Navy and Canadian Coast Guard vessels are trying to fish remnants out of the Atlantic and Lake Huron.

Rumours are rampant.

The dominant theory is that they are of Chinese military origin, gathering data about Western military installations. Could be. China claims they are just gathering data for weather research. Possibly.

Perhaps the Chinese are purposely doing the equivalent of crying wolf, to force The West to spend financial and military resources on searching for a pig in a poke, a needle in the haystack. Maybe there is no Chinese pig. We know that it’s the Oriental year of the rabbit. The Chinese may just be needling us, wearing down our economy and forcing us to put up our guard.

Here’s any entirely different take on the balloon phenomenon. These surveillance balloons may the ticket scalpers’ virtual substitute for attendance at the Super Bowl. Much cheaper than the exorbitant price of a real seat. Who knows?

Then there’s the rumour that the balloons

are carrying Russian army deserters fleeing from their unsuccessful invasion of Ukraine. Unfounded, but quite plausible.

Any historian knows that during WW II, the Japanese manufactured over 9,000 ‘Fu-Go’ incendiary balloons to drift to North America. Only about 300 were eventually found in their target area. Is it possible that the balloons being spotted in 2023 are stragglers, completely unaware that the war is over?

I’m proud to say that I have the definitive, final, true, uncontestable answer to the current balloon mystery. Security regulations imposed on me force me to give the answer in code. Here it is:

ESTELLE COLE (GAUTHIER-MIRON)

5 MAR 1943 - 19 FEB 2023

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”

~ Muhammad Ali

It is with profound sadness that we share the unexpected death of our Mom, Estelle. She was the oldest of two children born to Hervé and Gaetane (née Gauthier), 80 years ago this year in Valleyfield, QC. She was the wife of Edward “Ted” for over 58 years. Loving mother of Andréa, Elise (Dave) and furkid, Nico. She will be missed by her brother, Serge (Rollande), niece and nephew and many cousins and friends.

Faced with the choice of one of three professions when deciding on a post-secondary education, she opted to pursue nursing and became a Registered Nurse in 1964 through Hôpital Saint-Luc/Université de Montréal. Her career spanned many years, caring for patients in a variety of settings and across two provinces, always with a deep sense of compassion and empathy.

She had a lively, bright and extremely quick intellect, and was a master of solving problems, especially for others. Her curiosity matched her intelligence. She was a voracious reader and loved all things historical. In particular, she was passionate about her family history. She was also unmatched in her capacity to enjoy and deploy language; to this day, we have never succeeded in winning a debate with her.

Our intensely private Mom was a survivor in so many ways, but only those closest to her knew what she had endured over her life, always emerging victorious. Predeceased by her parents and her grandsons Nathaniel and Andrew, we take comfort in knowing she is with her loved ones who went before her.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders Canada, Breast Cancer Canada, Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.

Estelle did not like being the centre of attention, so to honour her wishes for privacy, there will be no funeral or memorial service. There will be a small gathering of her close family in the spring to celebrate her life, hopefully at the same time the peonies and lily of the valley she loved so much are in bloom. Should you wish to honour her life, she would have been delighted to know that trees had been planted to celebrate her time here.

Communiqué de bonnes nouvelles

L’ACFO SDG

Cornwall, le 20 février 2023 : Grâce à une subvention offerte par Patrimoine canadien, l’ACFO SDG a permis à la population de la communauté de Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry, de ren contrer Christian Pilon, constructeur de canots d’écorce et ani mateur de l’émission La Terre en Nous. “Ce projet revêt une grande importance pour l’organisme, dans l’espoir de dévelop per nos relations et nos liens d’amitié entre les deux commun autés, sur le long chemin des vérités et des réconciliations “ souligne Céline Baillargeon-Tardif, directrice générale de l’ACFO SDG.

“ Lors de sa visite, les gens de la communauté ainsi que les écoles ont été invités à participer activement à la construction de son œuvre “ ajoute Geneviève Ethier, chargée de projet.

Dans le cadre de sa collaboration avec le Native North American Travelling College, la communauté d’Akwesasne a également eu l’occasion de participer à ce même atelier lors de la visite de Christian Pilon au début du mois. Plus de 200 élèves ont eu l’occasion de le rencontrer et de contribuer à la création de cette œuvre.

À la fin du mois de mai, les gens des deux communautés seront invités à participer à la cérémonie de mise à l’eau des deux canots d’écorce pour célébrer le lancement du Mois national de l’histoire autochtone en juin.

Vos mots de passe vous protègent-ils contre la fraude ?

CENTRE MOI J’APPRENDS, CORNWALL

Vos mots de passe sont l’une des meilleures façons de protéger vos renseignements personnels si vous allez sur Internet. Les mots de passe que vous avez choisis vous protègent-ils vraiment ?

1. Plus votre mot de passe est long et complexe, plus vos renseignements seront protégés.

• Utilisez au moins douze caractères si c’est possible.

• Utilisez une combinaison de lettres majuscules et minuscules, des chiffres et des symboles ($ ! #).

• Soyez créatifs : utilisez une série de caractères qui vous dit quelque chose à vous seulement. (par exemple, la première lettre de chacun des mots d’une phrase)

• N’oubliez pas qu’un mot de passe facile à retenir est aussi un mot de passe facile à deviner.

2. Utilisez un mot de passe différent pour chacun de vos comptes en ligne (courriel, compte de banque, Facebook et autres réseaux sociaux…) et pour chacun de vos appareils (cellulaire, portable, tablette…). De cette façon, vous évitez de donner l’accès à tous vos comptes et appareils si votre mot de passe est découvert.

3. Quand vous le pouvez, utilisez une phrase de passe au lieu d’un mot de passe. Puisque la phrase est plus longue, elle vous protège mieux.

• Idéalement, la phrase de passe contient

au moins quatre mots et au moins 15 caractères.

• Choisissez des mots au hasard qui n’ont de sens que pour vous. Par exemple, vous pouvez choisir des objets autour de vous (lampe pupitre papier stylo). De cette façon, votre phrase est unique et difficile à deviner.

4. Changez vos mots de passe régulièrement.

À NE PAS FAIRE

- N’utilisez pas le nom d’un animal de compagnie ou d’un membre de la famille. Ils pourraient être faciles à deviner si vous les avez mentionnés sur les réseaux sociaux.

- Ne partagez jamais vos mots de passe.

- N’entrez pas vos mots de passe sur les appareils qui ne vous appartiennent pas ou quand vous utilisez des connexions sans fil non sécurisées (restaurants, aéroports…) parce que vos données pourraient être interceptées.

- Ne cachez pas vos mots de passe sous le clavier ou sous d’autres appareils à votre poste de travail.

S’il le faut, modifiez vos mots de passe, car ils sont votre première défense contre la fraude.
