Stand-off stalls Greely village centre Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland

News - Development of Greely’s village centre is at a stand-still. Zoning and subdivision amendment proposals for the 16-hectare campus on the south-east corner of Parkway Road and Bank Street have not been filed as Sunset Lakes developer Dan Anderson planned because of a disagreement about how he

should move forward. While Anderson wants city planners to support his plans before he applies for the changes, the city wants to see his proposal before they commit. Anderson had long planned to build a large commercial centre on the site, including medical and personal services, an arena, restaurants, and a shopping district. See CITY, page 3

Kars school gets running start for new track emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Kars on the Rideau Public School is on its mark and getting set to bring a new running track to the school as early as next spring. Principal Rick Haggar has partnered with the Ottawa-

school board how they’ll move forward. “A track has already been approved, but we want to continue to look at the plan because we’re hoping the track can be a larger track,� Haggar said. “We’ll have enough after the fundraiser so that we can work in cohesion with the board so

we can finalize the plans.� The 100-m straight-away is a guarantee, as is the long-jump pit. It’s just a matter of determining whether a full-sized track is feasible, or if they have to install something smaller. Haggar said the land behind the school cascades through several levels, so a full-sized track could require major landscaping. “We’re working with a few scenarios, but we’ll go with the one that is cost efficient and makes sense for everyone, and keeping in mind it’s a one-time investment that can make a difference in the lives of kids,� he said. Depending on how the school and school board decide to move forward, Haggar said the project will cost about $100,000. That’s where the fundraiser comes in. Between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sept. 27, families can enjoy a barbecue, live music and children’s activities, as well as a raffle for exciting prizes including a week’s vacation in

coming together as it is about fundraising – and a new track would continue that community collaboration. Already the Kars Legion has supported the project with a $5,000 donation, and the Kars Recreation Association has gifted another $2,500. Those community groups and many others would have access to the track, of course, as well as feeder schools in the area, Haggar said. “All of the children at all of the schools are welcome,� he said. “When you talk about the importance of play and physical education for our young people and nurturing those positive habits ... they’re going out and having fun but at the same time you’re creating a well-rounded child that’s going to be healthy and happy.� The school hopes to put the project to tender this fall.

The entire campus was to share a private wastewater treatment facility, which would be maintained and operated by the Greely Village Centre Owners Association Inc. made up of business owners on the campus. But those plans changed last fall when the city approved a zoning amendment request for a large commercial development further north on Bank Street, which owner Otis Group hopes will attract national chains including a grocery store. With the loss of a grocery store to anchor his development, and not enough local shopping dollars to go around, Anderson said he needed to scale back his commercial plans to about half the original amount, and add 65 small bungalows to the campus instead. But that move, according to the city’s rural development manager Derrick Moodie, requires a site-specific Official Plan amendment in order to allow residential uses on Anderson’s private waste water management system. That’s because wastewater facilities owned and operated by a single owner are only allowed for commercial uses, Moodie said. Anderson disagrees with the city’s interpretation of the policy, as he considers the owners association to be an institution, and therefore subject to different rules, but he said he’s willing to make the initial $15,000 amendment application as long as the city first agrees in principle that it will sign on to the municipal responsibility agreement needed to add residential. “I said, ‘Will you or will you not support this?’ and they refused to give me a straight answer,” Anderson said. “We just didn’t want to be sent on a wild goose chase.” Of course, Moodie said the city can’t make commitments like that before planners have laid eyes on the proposal, because there may be concerns they don’t know about yet. “The normal application process requires someone to submit a full application for circulation and comment from

the community,” Moodie said. Official Plan amendments also require extensive technical studies to determine their impact on the surrounding area. “Until that level of information is provided, it’s very difficult for anybody to really make any commitment,” Moodie said. He added that, on a community level, planners need to flush out problems before they move forward. Those concerns are already surfacing: at a recent Greely Community Association meeting, residents from the adjacent

Trustee candidates gear up for election News - With mayoral and councillor candidates front and centre in the lead-up to the municipal election, Zone 7’s school board trustees are quietly ďŹ ghting for their spot around the school board table. The public school board zone covers Osgoode, Gloucester-

Southgate and Gloucester-South Nepean wards and has ďŹ ve candidates on the ballot this year. The 12-person public board of trustees (plus two student trustees) governs the OttawaCarleton District School Board. The board sets policy for the operation of all public schools in the Ottawa area, according to the school board’s website. Voters will choose their

trustees on Oct. 27. MARK FISHER

Incumbent trustee Mark Fisher said he is proud of the accomplishments the current board has achieved over its fouryear term, including building a new school in Chapman Mills and putting additions on Osgoode Public School and Steve

On behalf of the committee for the Osgoode Care Centre’s 2014 Gala, “A Fond Farewell for Councillor Doug Thompsonâ€?, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for making the evening such a memorable event. The success of this event was made possible by the generosity of donors and sponsors who contributed their time, effort, and ďŹ nances to thank Councillor Thompson for his years of dedication to the positive growth and development of our rural community. The proceeds from this evening’s gala will go to the Osgoode Care Centre to meet the future capital requirements essential for enhancing the life and comfort of the residents. Our appreciation goes out to all volunteers and guests whose participation also made the event so successful. We also would like to extend a special thanks to Dot and Kristen Janz of the Black Dog Bistro for preparing and serving an outstanding meal to more than 200 guests.

MacLean Public School. “These were long overdue projects that we were able to move forward,â€? Fisher said. The South Keys father of three said his biggest outstanding priority is bringing a new elementary school to Findlay Creek, which will lose its access to the leased Elizabeth Park Public School in 2017. The designs and permit requirements are being dealt with now so the project is shovel ready when the money does come through, Fisher added. He also wants to build a high school in Riverside South, which could take some heat off LongďŹ elds-Davidson Heights Secondary School in Barrhaven now that the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge has connected the two communities. On the programs side, Fisher said special needs education is a big priority for him, particularly in zone seven, which is the second largest in the city. “We have a high number of students who have special needs, and sometimes these services

are not always located where the students live,â€? he said. The solution, according to Fisher, is to share assessment resources with other boards. “If we’ve got a high case load and (another board) has a low case load, we can share resources. Taking 12 months or eight months is too long to ďŹ gure out what supports the students need.â€? In the rural areas, Fisher said more work must be done to communicate trafďŹ c and bus problems to the Ottawa Student Transportation Association. The association manages bus routes for the school board.

LORI DANELIAK

Osgoode resident, city ďŹ nance staffer and mother of four Lori Daneliak hopes to bridge the gap between parents and OSTA to ďŹ nd solutions for ongoing bus and transportation issues. “Every year in August many of us parents suffer anxiety about the school buses,â€? she said. “We have a hard time with the empty seat policy, which doesn’t take effect until October, so for the ďŹ rst month of school you must drive your kids or ďŹ nd someone to take them.â€? Small children who live inside the walking zone are expected to walk on dangerous rural roads without sidewalks, and when they do get approved to take the bus they sometimes get lost en route, she said. She said better pay for the bus drivers and a better system for vetting who is hired in the ďŹ rst place would ease parents’ minds about who is caring for their children. She also wants parents to be able to create common bus stops that work for the community. “There have to be different policies for different areas,â€? she said. “One shoe does not ďŹ t all.â€?

Class size, transportation big issues for Zone 7

CURTIS BULATOVICH

Curtis Bulatovich is no stranger to advocating for the community, and said he’ll put his experience to work in support of progressive change as trustee. Bulatovich, 21, has worked with anti-poverty advocate ACORN for several years, and said his top priority would be supporting students in need. “We need to make sure that students living below the poverty line are given the chance to succeed,� he said. School supplies are a big part of that: he said community agencies rarely offer expensive items like scientific calculators and indoor shoes, which can eat up a big part of a parent’s budget. Families with students in special needs programs are also a priority, Bulatovich said, and supports a strong integration system for the board. “(We need to make) sure that our schools are an inclusive space for all students and make sure our schools places that are accepting and empowering,� he said. Bulatovich recognized that Zone 7 also has community-specific challenges, noting the rural area’s frustration with transportation and the suburban region’s need for more schools. Although Bulatovich does not have any children in the school system, he said he only left the public system a few years ago and has witnessed some issues first-hand.

JENNIFER JENNEKENS

Riverside South mother of two Jennifer Jennekens wants to focus on bringing a more integrated special needs program to the school board. One of her sons, now grown, was in a special needs program in another school board near Toronto throughout his education, and Jennekens said she had to fight to make sure her son was integrated with other kids. “All parents want their child to be treated as a regular kid, and based on their ability be a participant as much as possible,� she said. “I’m more for inte-

grating as much as possible even if it’s just gym class or music class.� She said the board also needs to provide special needs programming at more schools, so siblings can attend school together and parents aren’t driving all over the city every morning. On the capital side, Jennekens wants to bring a high school to Riverside South, as well as a new elementary school in Findlay Creek. She also wants the school board to look into partnering with the city to bring a library branch to Riverside South. “They have a bookmobile that goes to Riverside South once a week, but it would be nice to see a permanent facility,� she said. “For parents, if they’re both working, kids don’t have access.�

school safety squarely in his sights as a trustee candidate. The former police officer wants to bring a program he developed while working on the east coast, X-Out Bullying, to the Ottawa board to help minimize and eventually stamp out bullying in classrooms. “Cyberbullying is a real, real concern ... and it is my main goal and platform to work with Crime Prevention Ottawa, the schools, police and teachers to see that it’s happening and see

Across the ward, she wants to encourage more formal partnerships between the schools and their community associations, to promote volunteerism in the community. On the capital side, she wants to address classroom sizes in growing suburbs with new schools, particularly in Findlay Creek.

“We need to implement policy that ensures students don’t fall through the cracks because of poverty, special needs, or being GLBTTQ identified,� he said. “There’s a variety of issues that we really need to address sooner rather or later.�

things you can do to minimize it,� he said. He also wants to reduce class sizes to optimize the learning environment. DeFazio’s third priority is increasing physical activity among students. “I believe there’s an epidemic across the country of obesity in children and youth, so I want to start sub committees at the board looking at physical education in the schools, and getting help from specialists and community stakeholders to support that,� he said. The former Ottawa 67s hockey player said he doesn’t necessarily mean competitive sports – but he does want to make physical activity part of every kid’s daily routine.

Veterans Transition Network offers new course in Ottawa Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A new program could offer soldiers in the Ottawa-area comfort closer to home. The Veterans Transition Network

has announced it will offer a program to help soldiers transition to civilian life in Ottawa this October. The Veterans Transition Program is a residential group program available to veterans with post traumatic stress disorder or an operational stress

injury. Ontario operations co-ordinator Sherry Lachine said the location and times are still being worked out, but the goal is to offer six veterans the opportunity to take a three-week course in the downtown area.

THE PROGRAM

course close to home. In the past, similar courses have been offered as close as Kingston and as far away as Vancouver. The program is run in English, but has French speaking clinicians and peer supporters participating. According to the network, of the 40,000 Canadian soldiers who served in Afghanistan, 15 to 30 per cent will experience post traumatic stress disorder or other symptoms of trauma that pose barriers to their transition back to civilian life. In addition, the organization said that veterans can suffer from depression and isolation that could harm their prospects for successful relationships and employment. The program has been developed over the last 15 years at the University of British Columbia, where registered psychologists and physicians worked in consultation with military veterans. Lachine said past participants have benefited greatly from the program and are moving on with their lives in a positive way. It is offered free to all participants. According to the transition network, the objectives of the course is to help soldiers “drop the baggage� of operational stress injuries and provide tools to be successful and productive in civilian life. To find out more about the program or to sign up, contact Lachine by phone at 613-484-2977 or by email at sherry@vtncanada.org. The deadline to register is Oct. 17.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Trustee races pick up speed

N

ext month’s municipal election will include more names on ballots thanks to growing interest of would-be school trustees. More people than usual want to serve on the city’s public and Catholic school boards. It’s a good sign for the present day and for the future. In the past, many candidates have been acclaimed. In every case, that means the lack of political campaigning has removed an opportunity for parents to ask questions and for candidates to prove they are well-suited to the role. Many people are quick to complain about their political choices, but may be unwilling to step forward themselves. Those that run deserve kudos. Given that a trustee gets to work hard for very little compensation, it’s given that anyone willing to run for that office is doing so because they want to make a difference, not for fame, glory or financial gain. It takes confidence to step up and face the test of an election, and for that, every candidate should be

commended. Every candidate will learn a great deal even if they are unsuccessful. Campaigning, posting signs and knocking on doors teaches us about them, and teaches the candidates about themselves. Those who do go on to serve will learn even more. They will also get a large helping of parents’ demands and a taste of politics. It cannot be easy to listen to demands from people on both sides of an issue – nice people, difficult people – knowing there is oftentimes no way to make everyone happy. Some of our trustees may look beyond the school board table in coming years. And following a positive term or two, those who enjoy the life may well move on to a run for city council, with provincial and federal seats a possibility if they prove worthy. So give your trustee race a thought prior to Oct. 27 vote. Kids should experience a school system led and directed by dedicated people, and it’s worth learning a bit so kids learn better. It’s all win-win, except that someone has to lose.

Ducking out of the spotlight’s glare

t’s interesting to follow, at a safe distance, the debate over noise at the Ottawa Folk Festival. You can sum it up as follows: one the one side are people who are bothered by music they consider to be too loud; on the other side are people who think the complainers are old-fashioned and should get over it. None of this is new – although complaints about pulsing bass notes do not traditionally accompany folk festivals – and none of it is confined to this city. It is part of the inevitable conflict between those who want a city to be more than it is and those who like it just fine right now. The usual focus of the debate is the big event – a festival, a summit meeting, a major sporting event. Those who support the big event

think those who oppose it are oldfashioned. But there is more to it than that. We need look no further than Toronto, where the decades-long quest to be world-class continues. Whether or the not goal is being approached is open for debate. What is not debatable is the fact that the quest can involve considerable inconvenience for the city’s residents. Example: A couple of weeks ago, Toronto closed off a few blocks of King Street, a main streetcar route,

in order to properly showcase the Toronto International Film Festival. On the closed streets, people could stand behind barricades and watch movie stars walk by. That was pretty great for them and it got lots of photographs in the international media showing Toronto as the kind of place where movie stars can be found. It was not pretty great for the nonstargazing-public, whose streetcars were routed off King Street onto other streets which already had their own streetcars, plus hundreds, if not thousands, of automobiles trying to find their way across town. Chaos ensued, including a streetcar 30-minute journey that took 90 minutes while fans waved at movie stars. What price world class?

ronto media certainly made mention of traffic difficulties, but the coverage paled beside the worshipful attention given to movie stars waving. The film festival is there to stay, but there is a growing tide of expert opinion that many big events are more trouble for a city than they are worth. There are fewer bids from major cities for big events. Toronto is now gearing up for the Pan-Am Games, which will last two weeks next July. There will be big construction, big-time security and lots of rerouting of traffic. Perhaps it will enhance the city’s reputation, but will do little for the city’s reputation among the people who live in it. This is the trade-off cities face. Their reputations are to an extent dependent upon what they do for visitors. But their quality of life depends on what they do for the people who live in them year-round.

Meet the candidate: Paul St. Jean News - Waste management, hydro and a smaller council: Greely resident Paul St. Jean wants to focus on these three issues as the next Osgoode Ward councillor. The 59-year-old grandfather worked for a major cable television company for a number of years before opening a franchise of The Maids 15 years ago. He was born and raised in Ottawa, and moved to Greely in 1979. He said he wants to see weekly garbage pick-up restored, rural wards rolled into Hydro Ottawa and a smaller council of only 15 members in an effort to cut costs for taxpayers. Q: Why are you running? A: I thought about it and thought about it, and finally decided to get off the fence. There are some issues I’d like to work on and get things done for the

Q: Do they have any potential pecuniary interests (declared conflict of interest) ie. ties (financial, family, otherwise) with builders, developers, construction companies, etc. Any boards or associations you will have to step down from? A: Nothing whatsoever. Q: What do they think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? A: The Orgaworld contract, and the reduction of weekly garbage to bi-weekly: maggots, the smell, animals, and especially being out in the country you have to be wary of raccoons making a mess. I don’t

think council contacted the residents when they made the decision to go to bi-weekly. It was a money-saving move that I don’t think came to fruition. Q: What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: First of all I want to have the residents of Osgoode moved over to Hydro Ottawa rather SEPTEMBER

I’d also like to see the size of council reduced from 23 wards down to 15. I’m looking at the numbers for Toronto, and they have 59,000 people per councillor. Mississauga has 64,000 per councillor and Ottawa has 38,000 per councillor. So I’ve crunched the numbers and 15 councillors would be 59,000

The self-described “typical, middle-aged dad” of two has lived in Metcalfe for 12 years, and wants to bring his experience working in government and finance to help rural areas thrive. Scantland grew up in Gatineau, but moved to Ottawa when he was 18. He worked in government for six years before taking an economics degree at the University of Ottawa. He spent 13 years with Revenue Canada before leaving public service in 2013 to begin a home-based business as an unlicensed accountant. Q: Why are you running? A: I’m a strong believer in the political process, and I believe people should be active in their communities. Democracy is important. Q: Detail your past political experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. Also, do you have any

ALLEN SCANTLAND

experience as a lobbyist or for a lobbying non-profit organization? A: I’m vocal when it comes to writing to MPs and even the prime minister. I’ve been on the Nepean-Carleton (electoral district association) for Pierre Poilievre. Before that I was on the board for my union local, on their finance committee. I partook in the parent council at St. Catherine school in Metcalfe, and I’m president of the Edwards/Metcalfe neighbourhood watch. Q: How will you fundraise?

A: I’m pro-business, so I’m going to be calling the area businesses and then going door to door asking for people’s support. Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests (declared conflict of interest) ie. ties (financial, family, otherwise) with builders, developers, construction companies, etc. A: No. Q: Any boards or associations you will have to step down from? A: The only thing I’m involved with right now is the EDA and the neighbourhood watch. I’d have to check the rules. Q: What do they think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? A: Right now in the rural areas, my property taxes have doubled, and there’s an escalation in the taxes and fees. There’s a rationing of the services being provided: the libraries are closed more often than not, the local city service office is only open one day a week. So it’s about the value-add. You have to look at how the

city is doing business, and how they cost their business. Urban solutions don’t always work for rural problems. We need development zones in the rural areas, which would have preferential mill rates to allow for the business to grow. What you can do is try to create an environment in the rural areas where people can live and work. Q: What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: Affordability. There is always talk of expanding programs, and the scope of programs. When you get into the billion dollar or hundreds of billion dollars programs, it’s easy to lose a few million here and there. I think the affordability problem is going to question where the value is. For example, if there’s a $20 million project for better bike lanes in the urban area, in rural area we’re still dealing with crappy shoulders. There’s a rural/urban divide, because they’re not servicing the needs. Also we’re looking at rolling Hydro One into Hydro Ottawa, because you get lower rates as well as local governance and accountability.

phen Blais and OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said riders will use whatever identifier they prefer. “The travellers will figure out what makes sense for them,” Manconi said. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said it will be important to change the branding of the O-Train to reflect its new Trillium/2/green identity before the Confederation Line is inaugurated so people can get used to the new names before 2018. Manconi confirmed that is in the works. Members of a transit commission working group chose the colours, numbers and names, which are meant to be easily read and understood in both English and French, as well as by people with a visual impairment such as colour blindness. The working group also kept in mind how additional line names could relate to the initial two monikers when LRT is eventually extended to other parts of the city.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions As an animal welfare organization, the focus for the Ottawa Humane Society is not to abolish the use of animals within our food industry but rather to promote the humane treatment of these animals. Following the five freedoms model, we believe that all animals are entitled to the following: UÊ Àii` ÊvÀ Ê Õ }iÀÊÊ or thirst UÊ Àii` ÊvÀ Ê` ÃV v ÀÌÊ UÊ Àii` ÊvÀ Ê«> ]ÊÊÊ injury or disease UÊ Àii` ÊÌ ÊiÝ«ÀiÃÃÊÊ Ê normal behaviour UÊ Àii` ÊvÀ Êvi>ÀÊ> `ÊÊ distress We strive to ensure that farm animals also receive treatment in accordance with the five freedoms, and we support the work of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) in advocating for humane practices in farm animal care.

The transit commission also formalized the name Confederation Line for the new section of LRT, which was the name given to the project during construction. Each line will have a corresponding number and colour to make wayfinding easier, said OC Transpo’s planning manager, Pat Scrimgeour. The Trillium Line, also known as the 2, will be represented by green. Confederation Line will be called the 1 and will be represented using red. City council candidate Jevone Nicholas, who is running in Rideau-Rockcliffe, appeared as a delegate on Sept. 17 to tell the commission that the names should be secondary to the identifiers passengers will actually use to describe the system: the colours and numbers.

he day the doors to David’s prison cell slid open and he was free after spending five and a half years behind bars for sex crimes against children, he was given a one-way ticket to Ottawa and placed on a bus. Armed only with expired identification, a little cash earned inside prison and two boxes and a bag containing his few possessions, David arrived in the city with limited prospects. The challenges he faced reintegrating in society were enormous. There would be hurdles in finding a job and stable housing, securing money and proper identification and abiding by strict supervision rules that kicked in upon his release. “It had been almost six years,” said David, speaking under a pseudonym to protect his identity. “It was overwhelming. Scary, because you’re coming out into society and it’s open, it’s freedom. “So it was difficult at first, but eventually you blend into it.” The key to blending in, in part, proved to be two smiling women who met him at the bus stop as planned, – his first introduction to a surrogate network of friends and family who wanted to help him rebuild his life, and in the process, ensure he would not reoffend. They are among more than 50 volunteers with Circles of Support and Accountability-Ottawa, one of 20 CoSA programs across Canada through which 500 volunteers are helping nearly 200 high-risk, highneeds sex offenders reintegrate in society after prison. “At first I didn’t know what to do. I have no social life,” said David. “There was a bit of boredom, a bit of loneliness, but I was able to talk to CoSA about it.” Each week, he met with his group of four volunteers to talk about his is-

While critics are alarmed by the federal government’s decision to cut off essential funding to a successful program that safeguards the community by helping higher-risk sex offenders stay victim-free after prison, offenders themselves say the program has been key to ensuring they do not commit more crimes.

They provided him with friendship and support, referring him to services in the city that could help him. Positive social supports, experts say, combined with sexual-behaviour counselling and treatment, are key to ensuring former offenders such as David do not fall back into their old patterns, leading to more victims.

After almost a year with CoSA, David seemed to be doing well. He had stable housing at a halfway house for ex-inmates and was taking part in a counselling program there. He had found work. But he was keeping secrets. David was unlawfully using a cellphone to access the Internet and messaging people. He became evasive with his volunteers. “I was doing OK, but I didn’t tell

them what I had or what I was doing. I didn’t want to get caught. I didn’t want to go back to jail,” he said. “Because then we would’ve been obliged to report (to police),” recalled Susan Love, program co-coordinator of CoSA-Ottawa since 2002, the year it was officially established with funding from Correctional Service Canada. “I thought I was going to get away with it, and then I went further,” David said. His volunteers knew something was wrong. Suspicious halfway house staff found restricted items, such as his phone, in his room. That day, when David returned from work, he was arrested. He was convicted for breaching his release conditions and spent eight months in a detention centre and another eight in prison. “It was so disappointing,” said one of his volunteers, who requested anonymity to protect David’s identity. “I knew something was wrong, and he was very good at hiding.” She and Love stuck by him, and CoSA agreed to support him again after his release in exchange for promising to abide by several extra conditions. “I didn’t have to continue the relationship, but I thought, ‘Hate what they do, don’t hate the person,’” the volunteer said. “It’s unconditional.” David is back living at the halfway house, working full time and meeting with his CoSA volunteers. “It’s based on trust and through trust the guys open up more. It’s like a friendship, almost like a family that develops,” said Love, who currently oversees more than 50 trained volunteers helping 11 men in Ottawa – with two more on the way – many of whom have been convicted of multiple violent sexual offences against children or adults. “The thing is we all have circles of support – family, friends, colleagues. They often have nobody.” Many high-risk sex offenders are considered such a high risk to reoffend they are kept locked up for the duration of their sentence. The day they are released, many no longer fall under the jurisdiction of Correctional Service Canada, nor are they eligible for continued support, treatment or supervision. Their success becomes doubtful, the reason why many voluntarily participate in CoSA, the only program of its kind. But supporting and holding these

people accountable for their actions costs money, and funding cuts from the federal government are imminent. FUNDING ISSUES

CoSA-Ottawa is now scrambling to find long-term funding, but may have to consider eventually closing its doors. It is not alone. Seventeen of 20 CoSA programs across Canada will lose about $300,000 on March 31, 2015, from Correctional Service Canada – including $12,000 from CoSA-Ottawa. The funding was originally slated for the chopping block on March 31, 2014, but was reinstated for another year after Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney asked the correctional service to reconsider. Beyond next March, the department will continue to fund $325,000 annually to the Mennonite Central Committee of Ontario, which supports more than 50 Circles in southern Ontario. While the cuts were made “following a rigorous budget and program analysis of the community based initiative,” CSC agrees the program is effective. “Volunteers and partners such as CoSA actively engage community support which is essential to building safer communities,” federal corrections spokeswoman Melissa Hart said in an email. When asked if the department will reconsider its decision, she said all CoSAs are encouraged “to actively seek out other sources of ongoing funding.” The saving grace over the past five years has been a $7.5-million project through Public Safety Canada’s National Crime Prevention Centre researching the effectiveness of the program at 16 CoSA sites in 19 cities. The results have not yet been published. Of that, Ottawa’s program has received $82,000 annually, which has also allowing it to expand its programming, help more participants, improve volunteer training and screening and hire a part-time assistant and casual bookkeeper. With the contract set to expire on Sept. 30, CoSA-Ottawa is cutting everywhere it can – the bookkeeper has been let go, and the assistant will leave at the end of the month. Continued on page 16

BY THE NUMBERS

Continued from page 15

The charity recently secured two $10,000 one-year grants from the Community Foundation of Ottawa and the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. “We’re definitely not out of the woods,” said Love. The optimal annual cost to fund CoSA, and help cover expenses, such as rent and allow Love to work full time, is between $80,000 and $100,000. But at the end of the month, CoSA will need to survive on $32,000, $10,000 of which can’t be used for salaries. That total will be further reduced by $12,000 at the end of March. “This is certainly not sufficient to continue to operate at capacity, so I will likely have to be reduced to part time which is problematic with our increased numbers,” said Love, whose role includes providing oversight and intervention. “And if I’m not able to do that because I’m so busy applying for grants and that sort of thing then that’s not safe.” It’s too soon to tell whether the Ottawa Circles will have to be scaled back to some degree. “So I don’t know if we’d have to tell some guys, ‘Let’s look at the highest risk to reoffend,’” said Love. “I don’t want to have to make that kind of judgment call.” CoSAs have proven extremely successful in curbing reoffence rates. A national study of two groups of 44 offenders from 2005 to 2007 revealed those who relied on CoSA after prison sexually reoffended 83 per cent less and violently reoffended 73 per cent less compared to the group that did not have Circles. Of the 35 men who have participated in the Ottawa program since 2002, one reoffended sexually, though less severely compared to his previous crimes. Some, like David, have breached release conditions. “(That) is a small number, but when you think of the number of victims who have not been affected because of those 35 guys, that’s hard to quantify,” Love said. The funding cuts are creating a new crisis in a system already plagued by problems, according to Dr. Paul Federoff, an Ottawa-based forensic psychiatrist who was involved in forming Canada’s second Circle in 1994. The release that year of notorious pedophile Wray Budreo, who had dozens of convictions for molesting boys, prompted outrage, but 16

The program must do without Adina Ilea, right, part-time CoSA data co-ordinator and program assistant for the past five years. also a positive grassroots response. Because he had fully served his sentence, Budreo was being discharged homeless and without community supervision, which Federoff says still happens today. Media attention was intense, and under the cover of darkness one Sunday night he was secretly driven from the prison chaplain’s home to Federoff’s office. “We set up on that day one of the first CoSA Circles and I’m happy to say that person never reoffended,” said Federoff, a forensic psychiatrist and director of the Sexual Behaviours Clinic at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. In another example, a sexual predator would wait at the bus station for children to get off the bus, then invite them to stay at his home, where he would assault them. “He was released from the federal penitentiary and driven to the bus station where he was left,” said Federoff. “That’s how our system works now, with no supervision.” Parole is designed to allow an offender to transition back into the community with some level of supervision. But over time the Parole Board of Canada has become increasingly conservative to the point where a federal high-risk sex offender is kept imprisoned until his sentence is complete, said Federoff, who treats and provides therapy to 70 people a week, some of them former offenders who also receive support from CoSA-Ottawa. “So they go to immediate free-

dom in the community with no supervision at all – probably the worst possible scenario that you could think of,” he said. “And that’s now become routine.” Police agree there is an enormous gap in providing support to dangerous offenders who are deemed “too bad” to be released early. “The people who are lower risk get all the resources and the people that were too dangerous to be released on parole get nothing,” said Staff Sgt. Dana Reynolds, head of the Ottawa police high risk offender unit, which is responsible for monitoring high-risk offenders, among other roles. “It’s kind of like a strange loophole in the law.” Parolees, as well as those offenders such as David whose postrelease supervision orders include a residency stipulation, have access to halfway houses, treatment and the support of a parole officer. But there are many who are released free and clear without support and are going into homeless shelters as a result. This sets them up for failure, said Reynolds, reason why, over the past year she has tried, though unsuccessfully, to secure grants in partnership with organizations such as the John Howard Society of Ottawa to pay for dedicated beds in halfway houses for this population. Homeless shelters offer many temptations, such as drugs, and police say it can be difficult to track those who don’t have a fixed ad-

dress, adding to the already challenging job of monitoring those who relocate to Ottawa. “Our best monitoring is a phone call every now and then, maybe a door knock here and there, but really it’s not like they’re being followed around or anything,” said Reynolds. “We don’t have the resources or the ability to do that.” LEADING THE WAY

CoSA is making serious inroads in ensuring there are no more victims. Canada is, in fact, internationally regarded as the founder of the CoSA model, which has been emulated by several nations, including the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Ireland. South Korea launched its program in August. “This is a made-in-Canada solution,” said clinical and forensic psychological consultant Robin Wilson, who, as Correctional Service Canada’s first community based sex offender specialist hired in 1992, helped form the first Canadian Circle in 1994 around repeat child molester Charlie Taylor. Though there was a 100 per cent chance Taylor would reoffend within seven years of his release, he never did in 12 years of freedom before his death in 2006 – similar to Budreo’s case. Their Circles are largely credited with those successes. Continued on page 17

What the experts say

“The people who are lower risk get all the resources and the people that were too dangerous to be released on parole get nothing.”

“The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups.”

“Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

“I also believe that not properly funding CoSA is shortsighted and will mean helping fewer offenders, which possibly means more victims.”

Positive inroads in the treatment of sex offenders were made in Canada in the late 1980s, followed by the introduction of training for parole officers in sexual offender risk management. This led to improved treatment, supervision and a reduction in reoffence rates, Wilson said. But experts have watched over the years as program delivery officers have been replacing psychologists in the treatment of incarcerated sex offenders, who, Wilson said, are functionally equivalent to guards. In response, Correctional Service Canada spokeswoman Véronique Rioux said the department’s programs differ from counselling and psychotherapy and are delivered by “specifically trained” correctional programs officers to groups of inmates, serving as structured interventions that target factors linked to criminal behaviour.

with a psychologist and two facilitators every day for several hours over the course of eight months. But when he was sent back to jail for breaching his conditions he could only see the psychologist three times in eight months because other higher-needs prisoners came first. “Mine wasn’t a high need,” he said, but added while he wanted to see a specialist every two weeks, there were only a handful of psychologists for all 600 inmates. “I knew I’d done something wrong and I wanted to know where I went wrong,” David said. Three visits in eight months is not sexual offender treatment, according to Wilson. “That would be like taking an aspirin three times over the course of a month and thinking that it’s going to deal with your (chronic) headache,” he said, adding that such inconsistent support is unlikely to manage the problem long term or lead to lasting change. In addition, Wilson said there has been a push in the last five to seven years for prisons to provide less specialized programming to a larger swath of inmates. “But in a generic program there will be aspects that don’t apply to one group or more, such as sex offenders,” Wilson said. Federoff also notes that federal prisons no longer offer treatment for low-risk sex offenders – which the correctional service confirmed was stopped in 2010 based on research showing they benefit more from other interventions than correctional programs. Meanwhile, those at a high risk to

Studies reveal that 15 per cent of sex offenders will sexually reoffend within five years after getting out of prison. Interesting new research shows the likelihood of even highrisk offenders reoffending drops every year they don’t commit another crime, Federoff said. CoSA plays an important role in ensuring former offenders live crimefree, which caught the attention of several American states, where Wilson is providing training and technical assistance in the creation of Circle programs. “The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups,” said Wilson, who also served as chief psychologist for the correctional service’s Ontario region from 2001 to 2005. “Yet, in Canada, where it is our idea in the first place and where we seem to have done quite well with it, we’re continually fighting with the government for continued existence funding.” While the U.S. is embracing CoSA and other community based solutions, Canada is moving away from rehabilitation to an expensive tough-on-crime model that focuses on incarceration, tougher sentencing and elimination of statutory release, said Wilson. “Right-wing people in the United States are advising the federal government in Canada, ‘Don’t go that route. We went that route. It cost us a ton of money. It’s not working,’” he said, adding that research shows more punishment in most cases results in more crime.

These programs are based on cognitive-behavioural strategies and skills that teach participants to learn how to deal with those risk factors that led them to offending, Rioux said, noting the department also employs teams of mental-health professionals, including nurses, psychologists and social workers, to work alongside correctional staff. While behind bars, David joined a group of sex offenders who met daily

reoffend often cannot access sex-offender treatment until the tail end of their sentence, Federoff said. “I think prisons are excellent for isolating people who are dangerous and for punishing, but they are terrible for treatment,” he said. Community based treatment, such as that offered through Federoff’s outpatient clinic at the Royal, also helps reduce reoffending. Studies show those offenders who complete treatment will reoffend about 40 per cent less than those who haven’t. Some victims may resent offenders getting such support since not enough is spent on victim services, said Steve Sullivan, executive director of Ottawa Victim Services, but he understands the important role CoSA plays in protecting more people. “I also believe that not properly funding CoSA is short-sighted and will mean helping fewer offenders, which possibly means more victims,” he said. “So, from a policy perspective, even if some victims are opposed, the federal government should be funding programs that prevent victims.” David, who is grateful for his second chance, credits CoSA and halfway house staff with helping him refresh the coping strategies and other tools he learned in prison. “I had dysfunctional relationships in the past and I think I would have had those again if I didn’t have the support I did,” he said. “I would have got into another relationship and back into drugs and then maybe, perhaps – that’s the cycle – I end up eventually reoffending.” Despite breaching his conditions and going back to prison, he says he

knows the value of having people in his life with whom he can share his thoughts and feelings – a new skill he learned in prison. “I know I didn’t have them before and I offended, and the chances would have been higher for me of reoffending again if I didn’t have that, I think,” he said. That is why, without CoSA, or faced with a scaled-back version of the program, the community should be very concerned, Federoff said. “I think that society should look forward to more offences,” he said. “Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

Mother always dreaded Tuesday’s ironing rituals MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories no intention of ever getting something she was sure could blow up the old log house as quick as a wink if it took the notion. It was an iron with a container attached to it, which held gas, and that heated the iron ... no siree, Mother wasn’t going to take a chance on one of those new-fangled contraptions! As much as she hated the irons she used on the farm, at least they were safe! She had enough to worry about with the coal oil lamps, which she always treated with great respect. The clothes would have been taken off the line late day on Monday, and neatly folded in at least two hampers. Washing for seven people meant there would always be plenty of laundry. And of course, the clothes had to be folded and piled in order. Heaven forbid that the sparkling white tea towels should ever come in contact with something of a darker colour.

Not because the colours would run, but simply because that’s the way it was done back then. Like colours together, and the whites separate from everything else! Mother would have the kitchen ready for the ironing before we headed out for school. Two straight-backed chairs would hold what passed for an ironing board. It was nothing fancy like the ones you could buy at Scott’s hardware...ones that sprung up and locked in place. No this ironing board was a smoothed off piece of lumber, wrapped in many layers of well-used flannelette sheets, and topped with one or two opened-up white flour bags, well bleached beforehand of course. It was set on the backs of the two kitchen chairs, and then everything was ready for what would take the better part of Mother’s Tuesday. Of course, much of the laundry had to be dampened. So Mother brought a small basin

of water to the ironing board, and dipping her hand into the water, she sprinkled each piece royally and then rolled it into a tight sausage shape. These were the pieces of clothing that had to have the wrinkles ironed out, and there they sat like little logs until ready to be ironed. These damped pieces would be hankies, the dress shirts Father and the brothers wore to church, the little Peter Pan collars that adorned so many of our dresses in those Depression years, bringing a bit of relief to our very plain wardrobe, and the hand-embroidered pillow cases. Even the hems of the flourbag sheets would be ironed. When we went off to school, Mother would already be bent over the ironing board. At one end of the board

was a saucer, and here Mother kept a block of wax, and occasionally I would see her pass the hot iron over this wax. But I never knew the purpose of the exercise. All I knew was it was a part of that Tuesday’s ritual. When we came home from school on ironing day, you could still smell the sweet scent of freshly ironed clothes. The board would be gone from the backs of the two chairs, and tucked behind the door out in the summer kitchen, where it would stay until the next Tuesday. On the bake table, would be the neat stack of freshly ironed tea towels, the boys and Father’s shirts neatly folded, the pillow slips, and anything else that needed to have one of those heavy irons passed over it.

And hanging on the back of the kitchen door would be spanking clean aprons at the ready. The iron bases would be sitting on tin pie plates cooling off so that they could be put away until needed again. Mother would be dead tired that night...having stood most of the day over the ironing board. My sister Audrey would be given the job of putting all the clothes away, and when I helped her, I couldn’t resist pressing my nose against the clean pillow slips, capturing that fresh smell of the outdoors. And I would wonder, but never dare to ask, why we didn’t change our bedding on Tuesdays instead of on Saturdays, by which time that wonderful scent of freshly ironed linens would be gone.

t never failed. Every Tuesday morning, Mother lamented all through breakfast about the job ahead. The washing had been done the day before: on Monday. It mattered not if it had hailed, snowed, rained, or the wind blew at a gale force, Monday was wash day, and that’s all there was to it. And that made Tuesday the day to do the ironing, and it was the one household chore Mother hated with a passion. It had little to do with the job itself; it had everything to do with the irons she had to use. These were clunky, heavy lumps of iron, oval shaped, and to use them there was a clamped handle that fitted over the base, and the clamp, when released, hugged the iron, making it secure and ready to use. The handle had to be separate, because there were always at least three bases sitting on the stove getting hot. On Monday night, the iron bases were put right on the front burner of the Findlay Oval, so that they could absorb as much heat off the stove as possible, ready for the morning ironing. Mother had seen the latest in irons through the kitchen door at a neighbour’s house on the next line, but had

Transforming the conversation Manotick church to host gender identity workshop Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Places of worship aren’t the safest places that come to mind for people who are transgender or transsexual – and that’s precisely why one Manotick church is reaching out to the community. “You can’t look out into your parish and say we don’t have these issues, because how do you know?” said Rev. Ross Hammond, who leads St. James the Apostle Anglican Church on Bridge Street. Between 9 a.m. and noon on Saturday, Oct. 18 the church will welcome Talia Johnson to lead an introductory workshop on what it means to be a person who is transgender, transsexual or in the process of transitioning, in an effort to clarify misconceptions and create awareness within the church and broader community. “The whole purpose is to open the door to have discus-

sions for people who for any reason want to learn more about this,” Hammond said. He said it’s his congregation’s duty to offer support for this marginalized group, which faces huge social barriers including poverty, discrimination and staggeringly high suicide rates: 77 per cent of Ontario’s trans youth have seriously considered suicide, and 45 per cent have attempted it, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association. Johnson will touch on these issues in her workshop, the first of three she hopes to lead for the congregation. Johnson is a woman who is also trans; she began her transition in January of 2009 and has been leading workshops to foster understanding about what it means to be a person who is trans since 2012. She is currently studying at St. Paul University to become a spiritual counsellor, and as a religious person herself she is comfortable speaking about trans issues in a faith context. “Faith communities have done a lot of harm to LGBTQ communities over the decades, and some continue to. We try to mitigate that,” Johnson said. “Ideally a faith community is supposed to be a place you

can feel safe and be yourself.” She said she often opens faith-based workshops with a key verse from Genesis: “So God created mankind in his own image ... male and female he created them.” “I deconstruct that a little bit,” Johnson said, explaining that a more accurate translation of the ancient text reads, “God created humans male, female and everything in between.” While Johnson said there is “certainly more hesitation” among faith groups to learn about and embrace the trans community, she said a three-hour workshop can do wonders for breaking down pre-conceptions and fostering understanding about the challenges trans people face. Johnson said her workshop on Oct. 18 will touch on her own experiences, as well as “the needs of the community and individuals who are transitioning and don’t really have a grasp of where to begin,” she said. She gave St. James credit for being ahead of the curve, simply for bringing up the topic. “Part of the challenge is people even being aware that they need the workshops,” she said.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Talia Johnson will lead a ‘Trans 101’ workshop at St. James Anglican Church in Manotick on Oct. 18. “A lot of organizations haven’t even begun to think about it, let along do anything.” Hammond and Johnson hope to collaborate on two other workshops in the com-

ing year: a second focusing on how the community can actively support the trans community, and a third looking at how faith groups and leaders can provide pastoral care for

people who are trans in their community. The workshop will ask for a free-will donation, and will conclude with a free lunch and time for oneon-one discussion.

Equipment torched on purpose: police

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF OTTAWA OFFICIAL PLAN In accordance with Section 17(23) of the Planning Act, you are hereby notified of Ottawa City Council’s decision on September 10, 2014 to adopt Amendment No. 140 to the Official Plan of the City of Ottawa.

Mitch Owens fire considered arson Manotick News Staff

PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT The purpose of Amendment No.140 is to address corrections to policies adopted by Council as part of the Comprehensive Official Plan Amendment No.150 (OPA 150). Some of these corrections include errors made in the consolidation of the Council motions in the adopted amendment in December 2013. Others include updates of transportation policies and schedules due to changes in the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) after OPA 150 was adopted.

News - The Ottawa police arson unit is investigating after heavy equipment was

torched in south Ottawa last week. Investigators say the fire was intentionally set to a back hoe and an excavator around 11:20 p.m. on Sept. 14 in the 7500-block of Mitch Owens Road, between Bank Street and Ramsayville Road.

The cabs of both were severely burnt, causing $200,000 in damages. Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Greg Wilson with the Ottawa police arson unit at 613-2361222, ext. 3770. Callers can also call Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

INFORMATION Information on Amendment No. 140 can be obtained from: Bruce Finlay, Planner Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 21850 E-mail: Bruce.Finlay@ottawa.ca.

Pursuant to section 17(24) of the Planning Act, any person or public body who, before Amendment No. 140 was adopted, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal City Council’s decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, by filing a notice of appeal to the Amendment with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa. Such appeal must identify in writing, which parts of the decision (all or parts thereof) are being appealed and the reasons for doing so. All appeals must also be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

0925.R0012907688

NOTICE OF APPEAL

A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West. A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on October 15, 2014. The proposed Official Plan Amendment is exempt from approval by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The decision of City Council is final if a notice of appeal is not received on or before the last day for filing a notice of appeal.

Even the shopping experience is relaxing.

Please note that only individuals, corporations or public bodies may appeal a City Council decision on an Official Plan Amendment to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group.

‘CHEO is basically my second home’: teen Continued from page 24

The grand prize includes two Grey Cup tickets, airfare for two to Vancouver and three nights at the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel. For the second year in a row, the CHEO Foundation has partnered with Minto to build its fully-furnished dream home in the Mahogany development south of Manotick. This year’s grand prize includes the immaculately furnished 483-square-metre-home (complete with an in-home theatre, walk-out basement and the latest home decor fashions), a 2015 Cadillac ATS Luxury, house cleaning for a

year, $5,000 in groceries and $100,000 cash. At the Dream Home grand opening on Sept. 15, foundation president Kevin Keohane was quick to thank ticket buyers for supporting the pediatric hospital located on Smyth Road in Ottawa. “The priority in all of this is making dreams come true for CHEO’s kids, and then after that there’s the possibility that you could win this dream home,” Keohane said. He said the lottery campaign has netted $42.5 million in profits since it began in 1991, and last year’s lottery alone raised $2.8 million for the facility. The foundation raises about

$14 million annually, Keohane said, and the lottery is a big part of making sure the hospital has the equipment, staff and knowledge it needs to deal with its 250,000 annual patient visits. Currently, donations are bankrolling $5 million in renovations for the hospital’s day surgery unit, a new MRI machine worth $3 million and ongoing in-house medical research. “There are so many things the dollars raised are going to (in order to) help improve the lives of kids in the region,” Keohane said. No one knows CHEO’s importance better than Wendover teen Brad Laviolette. The 17-year-old was tubing on the

I was pretty scared. I thought I would lose my legs, but CHEO saved them. BRAD LAVIOLETTE

water with his family last August when he suddenly faced disaster. “I fell off the tube and my dad lost sight of me and I got stuck under the boat,” Laviolette told a captive audience at the dream home on Sept. 15. “The propeller severed both my legs.” He was airlifted to CHEO,

where trauma surgeons worked to save his legs. In the end, he lost 80 per cent of his right quadricep muscle and required intensive physiotherapy to help him get back on his feet. But it wasn’t an easy road for Laviolette. He had multiple surgeries, and developed an infection in his bone that required six months of antibiotics. “I was pretty scared,” Laviolette said. “I thought I would lose my legs, but CHEO basically saved them.” CHEO has become his second home, Laviolette said, and his nurses and doctors a second family. Today, Laviolette still pays weekly visits to the hospital, in which he is considered a “frequent flyer” patient, according to child life specialist Heather Crawford. She worked with Laviolette to find a way for-

ward. “Bradley is himself a very resilient individual,” Crawford said. “He is charismatic and willing to push through.” She said his willingness to share his story helps create awareness about the hospital and what it does. “There’s a fantastic hospital at CHEO, and there are people there who are ready to jump in and do their best,” she said. The dream home is located at 536 Bridgeport Ave off Manotick Main Street. The home is open for tours from noon to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Tickets are on sale now at dreamofalifetime.ca for $100 for one or $250 for three. Early bird prizes will be drawn on Dec. 17 and the final draws will be made Jan. 6 and 7, 2015.

NOTICE OF PASSING OF ZONING BY-LAWS AND ADOPTION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law Numbers 2014-343, 2014-347 and 2014-350 on September 10, 2014 under Section 34 of The Planning Act. TAKE NOTICE in accordance with Section 17(23) of The Planning Act, you are hereby notified of Ottawa’s City Council’s decision on September 10, 2014 to adopt Amendment No.136 to the Official Plan of the City of Ottawa. The Zoning By-law Amendments and Official Plan Amendment result from a City-initiated study on building heights in Kanata. Details on the properties affected by these amendments can be found on the study website at www.ottawa.ca/kanatazoning. PURPOSE OF THE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENTS The amendment from By-law 2014-343 has the effect of rezoning 1200 Maritime Way to permit a maximum building height of the lesser of 67 metres or twenty-storeys. The land will be zoned MC15(2165)-h, which is a mixed-use zone permitting a range of residential and non-residential uses. The property will also be subject to a holding zone (- h) which is conditional upon a development being granted approval from the Urban Design Review Panel (UDRP) and an application for Site Plan Control. This means the right to a building height of the lesser of 67 metres or twenty-storeys will not be permitted until the holding zone is lifted which first requires approval by UDRP and Site Plan Control. The amendments to 1200 Maritime Way represent an implementation of the amended Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan, which further provides consistency with Official Plan Amendment 150. By-law 2014-343 will not come into effect unless, and until, the corresponding policies of OPA 150 also come into effect. By-law No. 2014-347 effects various properties along March Road at the intersections of Klondike Road, Shirley’s Brook Drive and Terry Fox Drive, as well as various properties along Hazeldean Road (Terry Fox Drive to Eagleson Road) and along the west side of Eagleson Road south of Rothesay Drive to Terry Fox Drive. The amendments implement the Official Plan by rezoning properties along March Road to generally permit building heights up to six storeys and zoning that permits a range of residential and commercial uses. The amendments along the subject properties on Hazeldean Road and Eagleson Road generally permit heights up to nine storeys (30 metres) as well as permitting a variety of residential and commercial uses. The Heritage Overlay was removed from the property municipally known as 486 Hazeldean Road. By-law No. 2014-350 effects 420 & 430 Hazeldean Road by amending the zoning to permit a variety of non-residential uses consistent with this Arterial Mainstreet and to update the parking requirements. PURPOSE OF THE OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT Official Plan Amendment No.136 amends the Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan to ensure that the policy direction is updated for consistency with OPA 150, especially as it relates to building heights and density along the Rapid Transit Corridor. Amendment No. 136 will not come into effect unless, and until, the corresponding policies of OPA 150 also come into effect.

Carefor raises record-breaking funds in support of seniors Manotick News Staff

News - Every step counted, just as every dollar raised will make a difference. Fifty volunteers and 30 participants with the Carefor Health & Community Services team raised more than $24,000 through The Canadian multi-sport day on Aug. 30 at Mooney’s Bay Park. “Thanks to the support of Carefor’s sponsors, runners, and walkers, a financial barrier to accessing high-quality respite care was removed,” Carefor fundraising specialist Beth Monaco said in a statement. “The money raised will help seniors living with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia access Carefor’s adult day programs and Guest House or for any senior to access a mental-health support group called the Let’s Get Together Club.” Carefor has been an official charity of the event, organized by Somersault, for the past five

The team generated more much-needed funds than ever before during their participation in the annual walk and run. Proceeds will help subsidize seniors’ programming. “The point of doing this fundraising event is to make more people aware of these great programs and more im-

Ashes A City Shaped By Fire

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Standing up for heritage Presented by the City of Ottawa Archives September 25, 2014 to March 21, 2015

201409-602

Explore Ottawa’s blazing history! Learn about the legendary fires that shaped the capital and the effects those fires had on Ottawa Fire Services. Visit ottawa.ca/archives for details. James Bartleman Centre Gallery 112 100 Tallwood Dr. (Corner of Woodroffe) Monday to Friday: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 613-580-2857

More than 50 Sandy Hill and Lowertown residents attend a protest at 275 Laurier Ave. on Sept. 17 calling on the city to better recognize heritage buildings. The group saw five of Rideau-Vanier Ward candidates: Mathieu Fleury, Marc Aubin, Catherine Fortin LeFaivre, David-George Oldham and Marc Vinette support the protest, each speaking out about what more needs to be done to keep heritage a city priority.

Throughout history countless urban landscapes have been altered by fire. Unfortunately the City of Ottawa has seen the red heat of flame destroy individual homes, businesses, as well as complete neighbourhoods. The residents of Lebreton Flats, a once thriving working class community, saw their community razed to the ground on April 26, 1900. A common chimney fire in Hull was to blame for the fire that quickly turned into the most infamous fire in the history of Ottawa and Hull. This is one of the many events in the City’s rich, but sometimes sombre history that a visitor can learn about while touring the ‘Ashes’ exhibit located in Gallery 112 at the City of Ottawa Archives. ‘Ashes’ presents the history of Ottawa fires beginning with the first written account by Colonel John By. Colonel By’s progress report is dated October 26, 1827 where 127 pounds, 15 shillings is paid to extinguish a “fire in the woods in the immediate vicinity of the Public Buildings & Storehouses”, possibly as a result of a settler clearing land. ‘Ashes’ not only highlights the blazes that took place but also portrays those that risk their lives to save citizens and neighbourhoods. As the events of fire occurred, the City’s earliest volunteer firefighters had to develop new strategies and learn to use new equipment for fighting fires that threatened their local community. It was not until 1874 that Ottawa’s volunteer fire brigades were disbanded and replaced with 16 paid full-time staff. Today, Ottawa Fire Services has 45 stations located throughout the City of Ottawa and a staff that combines both career and volunteer firefighters. Working in partnership with Ottawa Fire Services, Bytown Fire Brigade and Algonquin College – Applied Museum Studies Program, the City of Ottawa Archives presents Ashes: A City Shaped By Fire at Gallery 112, filled with artifacts and narratives that chronicles Ottawa’s dynamic history shaped by fire. The City of Ottawa Archives is located at the James Bartleman Centre, 100 Tallwood Drive. 2014-09-8059-24683 R0012908239-0925

The organization launched its annual campaign on Sept. 18 and instead of announcing a dollar amount, the organization said it wants the focus to be on the number of people those donations can help. This year, the grand total is 61,500 lives -- 1,500 more than the organization managed to help last year and 15,000 less than its original goal announced during last year’s campaign. Executive director Michael Allen said this number is achievable and can help make change happen in this city. “If we meet our goal, we will be able to change lives,� Allen said. Looking at the goal in a dollar amount, the organization needs to raise $17.2 million to make this change happen – $3 million less than last year’s goal. The money raised is tied to what the United Way defined as measurable goals – money solely for the United Way’s organizations which requested funding through designated priorities. “This amount feels more genuine,� Allen said, adding being tied to a financial number means little compared to the life that could change thanks to donations. The United Way changed the way the way it allocated funding raised from its annual campaign four years ago, creating priorities and criteria to appeal to donors. Since then it’s been no secret, Allen said, that the organization has struggled with raising enough money to reach these goals. “We need good schools, arts and other organizations to be supported,� Allen said. “But what we are trying to do is make it clear to donors the goals we have and the journey we have.� In an effort to fight this issue, Allen said he thinks keeping the focus on the people and organizations the United Way helps will appeal to its donors.

Giving credit to recent fundraising success stories such as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Allen added that although that particular initiative has been a widely popular for that particular cause, it’s not necessarily the right way for the United Way to gain support. “We want our donors to be connected deeply to the cause,� he said. “We feel we can do that with our campaign.�
