Medals awarded to brave men and women Continued from the front

A gunman was inside the Centre Block, within metres of then-prime minister Stephen Harper and hundreds of MPs. “There was never any question that we (RCMP officers) would back up the officers inside (the building),” Waye recalled in an interview with Metroland Media.

Waye joined other RCMP officers in the halls of Parliament who moved along a hallway in a tactical formation designed to approach an armed suspect while protecting members of the team.

It’s this group – and Waye with gun drawn – that can be seen on a shaky cellphone video shot by a Globe and Mail reporter and replayed on newscasts all over the world.

In the video, Waye turns to the camera and orders the reporter to take cover, all the while moving forward and protecting the back of the formation.

At the time, none of the police officers could be sure if they were dealing with one gunman or multiple threats.

FINAL SHOTS

Moments later, the video captures the sound of the gunman’s final shots, their echoes mixing with the shots that killed him, fired by Kevin Vickers, then Parliament’s sergeant-at-arms.

“I don’t think the response (by security service members) could have rolled out any better than it did,” Waye said. “It was under control in three minutes.”

On Feb. 8, Gov. Gen. David Johnston pinned a Medal of Bravery onto Waye’s red serge uniform during a ceremony at Rideau Hall that saw 16 men and women recognized for their actions on the day of the shooting.

Waye said the events of Oct. 22, 2014, were unexpected, but he credited the RCMP’s training for the response.

“You never know what’s going to happen,” he said, but there was no hesitation; officers moved towards the sound of the gunfire. “It was a very controlled first response.”

Before the gunfire inside the Centre Block, shots had already been fired at the National War Memorial, and Canadian Forces sentry Cpl. Nathan Cirillo lay dying, but Waye said the RCMP officers and Hill security staff were unaware of that.

“We didn’t know about the shooting at the War Memorial,” Waye said.

Even after the gunman was killed, information was at a premium, and Waye said it was more than an hour before he could let his wife know that he was OK. “On that day (of the shooting) you don’t realize the impact it can have on your family,” he said.

The video that clearly showed Waye had already been aired, and friends had called Waye’s home to tell his wife that her husband was right there as shots were fired.

“What’s nice about today,” he said of the medal ceremony, “is that my wife and my son are here with me.”

Waye received the Medal of Bravery, which recognizes acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances.

The Governor General said Canadians owe an “enormous debt” to the men and women who stopped the attack.

“It was said Ottawa came to a standstill on Oct. 22,” Johnston said to the Medal of Bravery and Star of Courage recipients in remarks at the start of the ceremony.

“You didn’t come to a standstill. You ran towards the danger.

“It reminds us that while people are capable of doing the worst to each other, there are also people capable of doing their best.”

INSIDE THE CENTRE BLOCK

When the gunman entered the Centre Block, Parliamentary security Const. Samearn Son grappled with the gunman’s rifle and was shot in the leg by the gunman.

Son’s security colleague Const. Louis Létourneau arrived near the rotunda at the entrance moments later. He spoke about that day following the medal ceremony.

“I arrived about two seconds after Const.

Son was shot and I never took my eyes off him (the gunman),” Létourneau said.

“I was there from the first shot to the end.”

Two House of Commons protection services officers – Cpl. Maxim Malo and Const. Charles Thom – took cover and exchanged several rounds with the gunman after he entered the building.

Létourneau tracked the gunman down the Hall of Honour toward the Library of Parliament and fired at him several times.

Eleven RCMP officers – including Waye – entered the Centre Block. Their approach towards the gunman helped corner him where he was eventually killed.

Létourneau received the Star of Courage for an act of “conspicuous courage in circumstances of great peril.”

He said the recognition is difficult for many officers to accept.

“We feel a bit like imposters maybe,” he said.

“We deserve it, but we just did our job.”

He added that the officers involved have a

KITCHENS

“special bonding” because of the events, but said he sometimes experiences flashbacks to the day of the shooting.

“When I first went back to the Hall of Honour, it was a strange feeling,” Létourneau said.

“Now it’s just like a regular day at the office.”

Bruce Brayman said he didn’t think he would be leading the community association whose meeting he went to “check out” eight years ago, but he’s happy he did.

Brayman, who is president of the Greely Community Association, was given the Mayor’s City Builder award on Feb. 10.

Mayor Jim Watson said Brayman is working to make Greely a great place to live for families, retirees and “everything in between.”

The financier and father is also one of the founders of the Greely Business Association and leads the local seniors walking club.

Brayman is also working with local historians on a gateway project that would seek to incorporate a showcase of the village’s history into an entry feature.

Aside from the work Brayman does on the dayto-day activities in Greely, he’s also an organizer of the community association’s annual Canada Day celebrations – which includes a whole day of activities and features performances of the winners of the Greely

Idol competition.

Brayman said he was honoured to be given the award and thanked his wife and family for giving him the freedom to dedicate his time to the community.

The Mayor’s City Builder Award was created to recognize an individual, group or organization that has, through outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action, demonstrated commitment to making Ottawa a better place. This may include lifelong service, outstanding acts of kindness, inspiring charitable work, community building or other exemplary achievements.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Trillium Line Extension The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Trillium Line Extension Planning and Environmental Assessment study.

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing diesel-powered O-Train Trillium Line service from Greenboro Station to Bowesville Road and to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

The plan includes options to service the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands. The plan also incorporates new stations on the existing line at Gladstone Avenue and Walkley Road and a relocated station at Confederation Heights.

Impacts to private property are anticipated to be limited to the areas adjacent to the proposed Lester Road and Leitrim Road grade separations.

The Process

Celebrating at the event are: Doug Nugent, Tom Clapp, Stephen Wilson, Cindy Peters, Ted Ceelen and Karen Thompson.

A Final Dare to Flash Success At WDMH, funds raised help to support the role of the Cancer Care Navigator at WDMH. She provides support and education to cancer patients and their families – helping them navigate their care and connect with local community resources.

The service is available to all cancer patients in the local area and no referrals are required.

WDMH Foundation Board Member Cindy Peters thanked the group for their commitment to local health care. “Thank you on behalf of the hospital – and especially on behalf of the many cancer patients that have benefited from the cancer care navigator program. It is possible because of each of you” Submitted by the WDMH

For the past four years, the Eastern Ontario Prostate Cancer Awareness Committee has hosted Dare to Flashe a ‘Stache (DTFAS), raising awareness and funds.

In fact, they’ve raised more than $161,000 to support cancer programs at both the Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) and The Ottawa Hospital.

On February 9, the committed team presented a cheque for $9,548.55 to the WDMH Foundation, representing half of the funds raised at the November 2015 event.

“Our number one focus is to create awareness. Prostate cancer is something that men don’t talk about,” noted Tom Clapp, committee co-chair.

“When we were going through it, we found that it was nice to talk to someone who had been there. We can be that support.”

At the presentation, Clapp thanked the many supporters and sponsors who have been part of DTFAS, including local firemen, the Lions Clubs and the WDMH Foundation.

He also noted that it was time for a change. “Five years ago, we sat in the old nurses’ residence next door and did some brainstorming and came up with Dare to Flash a Stache. Now it’s time for something new.”

The committee will be meeting in the next few weeks to look for new ideas centered around Prostate Awareness Month each September.

The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an Environmental Project Report (EPR) prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program.

Algonquin’s international mistake One would hope that those who run educational institutions think before they act.

That hope has dimmed with the decision of two Ontario colleges two years ago, including Ottawa-based Algonquin College, to expand their global footprint, pump up their prestige as institutions and try to make a few bucks as well, with international campuses in Saudi Arabia.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with Algonquin College and Niagara College opening international campuses. But there is something wrong with opening men-only campuses in Saudi Arabia where Sharia law forbids the education of women and men in the same educational programs and classes.

The men-only campuses may be the way they do things in Saudi Arabia, but that is not the way we do things in Canada. And in this instance, the criticism that Algonquin has had to deal with since the school decided that it was fine with excluding half the human race from its Saudi operations is richly deserved.

The issue has been raised before, and most recently even Ontario’s premier has waded into the debate.

“As soon as I found out there was a possibility that women weren’t being offered programs, I asked questions about it, and it’s unacceptable to me,” Premier Kathleen Wynne is quoted as saying in a recent Canadian Press story.

There are those who will say – and Algonquin has said this in past statements – that the way you foster change is to engage the society that partakes in such discrimination from within. It’s the old Margaret Thatcher stance on apartheid in South Africa.

But Thatcher was dead wrong on South Africa, and former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney was right. Mulroney was a staunch advocate of sanctions against South Africa because he knew that you do not foster change by just going along to get along when it comes to human rights issues.

Algonquin College’s decision to go along to get along in Saudi Arabia by participating in that fiefdom’s discrimination against women was a bad decision.

There is no honour and no prestige to be had by doing the wrong thing.

Enjoy a safe conversation It’s always good to have something to talk about with strangers.

A sense of community comes out of that, the ability to talk with ease with people we barely know, or don’t know at all. We’re all in this together, is the feeling we all get out of it, and that’s good.

Of course, it was the big hockey trade last week that brought all this about.

The Senators get Phaneuf ?

Holy cow! Cowan and Michalek go to Toronto? Amazing. You might have seen the news crawling across the bottom of a TV that happened to be on. All previous conversation would cease and this new topic would take over.

You could even have the conversation in an elevator. Did you hear about the trade? You could ask that of a complete stranger and

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town then have a conversation.

This is a rarity in this part of the country. In Central Canada when somebody starts up an elevator conversation with a stranger, the stranger is thinking “What does he want?”

The stranger thinks you’re weird, and possibly dangerous.

This isn’t the case so much in Atlantic Canada or the West, where people are more outgoing and less suspicious.

But even here, a big hockey trade is an easy and safe conversa-

tion opener. It’s one of the things we can discuss, even argue about, without anybody getting upset.

“How about that Phaneuf trade!” you can exclaim, without offending anyone.

That wouldn’t work with most other topics, such as politics, even in Ottawa. Exclaiming “How about that Trudeau announcement on Syria” might get a mixed and not altogether pleasant reaction.

Same goes with “How about that school board French immersion policy!”

Sport is safer. You can disagree on whether Phaneuf is getting too much money, whether the Sens should have been more patient with Cowan, whether they gave up a valuable prospect, whether Michalek will be missed. No one will get angry during this disagreement.

Yes, it’s true that angry words are sometimes expressed about sports, but those are mostly online,

in the Comments section. Everybody seems to be angry there.

But not on the elevator.

Another nice thing about the casual sports conversation is that you don’t have to be an expert to take part. You have just have to have a feeling about it.

True there are experts, and those who hear them, particularly on the TV talk shows, know how tiresome they can be. They go on and on about salaries and cap space and free agency and whatnot. Whereas you can just say you like that Phaneuf has a hard shot and you wonder if Greening will get a shot with the Leafs.

You don’t have to justify why you thought the Super Bowl was interesting. You just have to say it.

And the guy who thought it wasn’t just has to say it too. No harm done.

Whereas, if you want to say that Donald Trump is interesting, you had better be prepared for a

City council appointed Steve Kanellakos to replace outgoing city manager Kent Kirkpatrick at a special meeting on Feb. 8.

Kanellakos is well known at city hall, as he is a former City of Ottawa deputy city manager and has 30 years of experience overseeing municipal projects and services, according to a press release sent out by the city.

“We are delighted to have Mr. Kanellakos return to Ottawa city hall to continue his great work on behalf of Ottawa residents,” Mayor Jim Watson, chair of the hiring panel, wrote in the statement.

“He is a trusted leader and consummate public servant with impeccable credentials in the planning and delivery of a broad range of municipal services.”

Watson added the city is undergoing unprecedented

son said.

The city’s finance and economic development committee acted as the hiring panel for the new city manager.

All members of council provided input on their expectations for the ideal candidate.

Kanellakos worked as a manager for the city from 2000 to 2015, but he got his start with the Gloucester police department in 1985.

During his tenure as a deputy city manager in Ottawa, Kanellakos was responsible for the majority of municipal employees and front-line service departments.

Kanellakos is currently the city manager for the City of Vaughan. He is scheduled to take over his new post in Ottawa on May 2.

Kirkpatrick had indicated previously that he would not seek a contract extension beyond March 2016. Kirkpatrick has held the city’s top administrative job since 2004.

ather was sitting on the bench at the back door.

The washbasin and soap dish had been placed on the floor underneath, and beside Father’s feet was the shoebox. It was made of wood, and had the shape of a shoe sole tilted on one side.

This is where Father placed his foot when he wanted to put a shine to his Sunday boots. He removed from inside, the piece of rubber, and a baking powder tin that had holes punched in the bottom, which he would use to scrape the spot where the rubber would go, when it was cut into the right size for a patch to be glued on to the galoshes or gum rubbers he was working on.

I tried not to look at the galoshes on the floor beside him. These were the very same galoshes Father had tried to patch a couple weeks before Christmas. The

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories memory of that night was one I would be a long time erasing from my mind. I thought as the winter wore on, I might be able to forget that night, but I couldn’t.

I had seen the beautiful doll one day in the dime store, and I could talk of nothing else when I got home. I even wrote Santa a letter asking if he might consider putting the doll under our Christmas tree.

That night, as I raved on about the doll, and said how much I longed for it, it was then Father held up Mother’s worn galoshes and said, if Santa had any heart he would bring new galoshes for Mother.

And then, like a miracle the doll had appeared that Christmas morning under the tree. And there were no new galoshes for Mother.

And now, every time I watched Father working on our galoshes and rubber boots, hoping to get a bit more wear out of them by gluing on rubber patches, my mind reeled back to that fateful night when I begged for the doll. I thought, if I didn’t watch Father, maybe I could forget about the sacrifice that was made, and stop wondering how Santa knew about that beautiful doll, and how it ended up under our tree.

Mary Cook’s memories Continued from page 10

And as the winter wore on, Mother wore those old galoshes, patches on top of patches and there was never enough money to replace them.

So I got to praying. I prayed that it would be a short winter, that the patches would hold onto the galoshes, and I even prayed that I would stop fretting about how Santa brought me the doll and no new galoshes for Mother.

And that night, as I watched Father once again try to repair what looked to me beyond fixing, I wondered how much more wear Mother would get out of them, and how Renfrew County could possibly handle one more snow flake!

Old Herman said it was the worst winter he had ever seen.

Mother’s shoes fitted inside the

galoshes, and there was a strip of tattered fur around their tops covering the laces down to the toes.

I thought they were probably as old as I was.

Certainly I had no memory of Mother ever buying them. And they were black; as black as night.

As hard as I tried, I couldn’t stop watching Father working away at the galoshes.

And then he reached into his back pocket and took out a pair of brand new black laces. They were wrapped in a red paper sleeve. He took out the old laces and worked in the new ones, tying a knot at the top. He was in his stockinged feet, and he put the galoshes on. I had no idea what he was going to do in Mother’s galoshes, when it was just about time to go to bed.

And then, one after the other, he placed his foot on the wood sole on the shoe box, and rubbed black

shoe polish all over the galoshes, covering the patches and all. He took a brush out of the shoe box, one I had seen him use many times on his Sunday boots, and with fierce strokes he brushed and brushed until I thought he would wear the rubber right down to the canvas that lined the galoshes.

He held them up when he was finished, and they were as shiny as a fry pan, and looked like they had just come out of the store.

“Good as new,” he said. And I wondered after, whenever I cradled that beautiful doll, how long it would take for me to release the feeling of sadness I felt whenever I looked at Mother’s galoshes, patch on top of patch.

Learning how to look after Leti DIANA FISHER

mother before her, Leti does not often appreciate being danced or jiggled. She likes to be held still. She’s not a candidate for one of those vibrating baby chairs and she doesn’t need to be rocked to sleep. That movement seems to make her nauseous.

Her mother was the same.

The first time I went out to dinner and left Anastasia with a sitter, when she was about two months old, I forgot to tell her caregiver how to settle her. I was just so excited to be getting out of the house that I made sure she had enough milk and knew where the diapers were and I left.

Margaret was the kindly old grandma from next door – she had run a home daycare and looked after her own grandchildren for so many years that I felt quite confident she would be able to handle all the troubleshooting and problem-solving on her own.

These were the days before cell phones. But we had left the phone number of the restaurant where we were heading, so Margaret could find us in an emergency. I was just getting used to being out on the town without a baby strapped to me when the server approached our table,

Margaret actually sounded quite calm, which was remarkable given that there was the obvious sound of a furious baby screaming in the background. It wasn’t a hungry or scared or pained cry. It was Annie’s angry cry.

“I’m so sorry to bother you. I have tried everything and I cannot get this child to stop yelling and go to sleep. I know she must be exhausted.

I tried rocking her, walking her, putting her in the swing and dancing her around the room. Do you have any hints?”

“Yes, sorry. I should have told you. Just put her on her face in her crib and walk out of the room. Make sure the monitor is on, and close the door behind you.”

he Farmer and I had the opportunity to babysit our granddaughter Leti for the first time. It was the busiest five hours in our recent history.

Anastasia and Andrew arrived an hour early to settle Leti in for her visit. Annie fed and changed her baby before she left, and left two bottles of mama’s milk behind.

Theoretically that is more than enough for a four to five hour stay. Then she decided to leave us a can of formula “just in case Leti is doing her nervous eating.” I thought that was funny – a baby getting nervous and snacking to settle herself. But Mama was right.

Leti slept in her bassinette for the first hour. When she began to fuss I picked her up, checked her diaper and tried dancing and jiggling her around the room. Then I remembered that, like her

Farmwife Continued from page 13

I heard the sound of the screaming growing more distant on the other end of the line. I pictured the two going into the nursery, Annie being placed in the bed on her stomach, her toys tucked in around her…then I heard the door softly closing. The crying abruptly stopped.

“Well. That worked. I guess she just likes to be left alone! Enjoy the rest of your evening.” And she hung up the phone.

Leti opened her eyes and looked, startled, at my face.

The same colouring as her mother, and likely a similar voice…but not the mama.

I snapped a photo of her obviously confused expression.

Then the nerves must have started because she demanded a bottle. And within half an hour of finishing that one, another. I changed her diaper after each feeding and when she asked for the third bottle I realized we had to start on the formula.

“Stop feeding that kid, will ya?” the Farmer commented. “You’re going to make her sick!”

I explained about the nervous eating and grandpa had to admit, it seemed to be the only thing that settled

her. About twenty mls into the formula, Leti passed out. The excitement mixed with the heaviness of the milk to put her to sleep. She was blissfully dreaming of her mother when the real one arrived to bundle her up and take her home.

Grandma’s first babysitting event went well, and we got to know each other a little better.

Lesson learned: always have plenty of snacks on hand.

Province announces cash for natural gas retrofits Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

As part of its strategy to fight climate change, the province plans to make it easier – and cheaper – for homeowners to realize efficiencies with natural gas heating.

Through a partnership with major natural gas providers Enbridge and Union Gas, the province will invest $100 million from its Ontario Green Investment Fund to allow the utilities to offer rebates on home energy audits and retrofits.

The retrofits and upgrades would allow homeowners to reduce their gas bills while lowering the overall amount of greenhouse gas emissions – something the province pledged to do as recently as last year’s climate change conference in Paris.

Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli made the announcement on Feb. 4 at the Baseline Road Home Depot, itself a partner in many provincial programs.

“This investment will deliver investments on many fronts,” said Chiarelli.

“Homeowners across the province will directly benefit, as the program will help lower their monthly heating and cooling bills. Ontario will directly benefit, as using energy wisely reduces the need to build new energy infrastructure.”

Home energy retrofit programs “work well,” said Chiarelli, adding that for each dollar spent on efficiencies, consumers receive up to $4 in savings, or $400 in annual savings, for an older home.

The province predicts the investment will allow 37,000 homeowners to conduct en-

ergy audits, after which they could benefit from measures such as the replacement of furnaces and water heaters, upgraded insulation or installation of “smart” thermostats.

The $325-million Ontario Green Investment Fund is tied to the province’s capand-trade program.

Because the program is being offered through utilities with existing energysavings programs, “this program can hit the ground running with little or no ramp time,” said Chiarelli.

Jim Sanders, a vice-presi-

nesses avoid 18 megatons of carbon emissions.

This is equivalent to taking 2.4 million cars off the road every year.” Also at the announcement were representatives of Nest Labs, maker of a product that can be installed to create a custom schedule for heating and cooling in a home.

The device – “the Nest Learning Thermostat” – is available for purchase at Home Depot.

Full details of the province’s collaborative program are expected to be revealed in the coming months.

dent with Enbridge Gas and Distribution, said his company believes collaboration between government and business, and investment of proceeds into cleaner systems, are key to cap-andtrade agreements.

“Conservation is the most effective way to reduce percustomer consumption of natural gas, which simultaneously reduces emissions and customers’ bills,” said Sanders.

“Between 1995 and 2014 our energy efficiency programs collectively helped Ontario residents and busi-

Ottawa Public Health providing vaccines, dental screenings for refugees Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Although the weather did not cooperate very well this past weekend for the Vernon Community Association (VCA) hockey day, it wasn’t enough to dampen spirits. The Army Cadets from #2951 troop were on hand to provide camping demonstrations and using the appropriate gear. They continued with a game of volleyball in the snow and enjoyed hot chili with a roaring bonfire to warm up. Sunday, VCA hosted their annual brunch and church service. There is always a good turnout and great food. This could not be done without the dedication of volunteers that prep, cook and serve the hungry crowd every year. Thank you!

The final show of Cracking Up The Capital was held on Saturday night at TD place. A crowd of close to 2,000 were on hand. It was great to see many of my colleagues attending and supporting them with proceeds to the “mental awareness” cause. Four Wards participated in this event leading up to Saturday’s finale with one from the Greely show and one from the Orleans show included in the lineup. Congratulations to all that participated.

Pancakes were flipping and being served up by Greely Lions and church volunteers at Our Lady of the Visitation Church on Sunday after morning service. Their basket raffle was won by the St.Denis Family. Lots of goodies in there! Holy Trinity Church in Metcalfe also served fluffy pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. It was a nice change for supper. Many hands make the work lighter. Thank you to all the volunteers.

MPP Lisa MacLeod hosted a drop in at the Barhaven Legion for PC party members to vote for their delegates to represent them in the upcoming years. Several of my colleagues joined her as well. It was a standing room only crowd eager to hear what each potential delegate had to say and why they thought they would be a good choice.

Orchard View held an open house to showcase what they have to offer people looking for a great venue for their next event. General Manager Adam Milito stressed that they host large engagements like conventions and weddings, but can also accommodate even the smallest of business meetings with ease. They have several different size rooms for your next special event. It is so convenient to have this little gem nestled in our Ward. Why not consider them next time you are looking around for a meeting place?

This Tuesday was a busy one! We saw eight people drop in throughout the afternoon, some of whom I met for the first time. It is always a pleasure to meet residents in person. I’m always available from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. every Tuesday in my Ward Office. No appointments taken, just drop by.

Osgoode Lions Club hosted the Greely Lions as part of the “travelling Lions” so to speak. They have enjoyed their travels around different Lions Clubs, learning lots and meeting many new people. What a great way to see how the other clubs work and what they are involved in.

Metcalfe’s “Meet and Greet” group had their quarterly meeting at the Metcalfe Golf Course to discuss ideas and plan for the May 7th second annual “Meet and Greet” in the street event.

Last year Marc Sauve spearheaded this day and organized businesses in Metcalfe to be out on the street displaying what products they had to offer that are local. He wanted to showcase local businesses and not only encourage people to shop local but make them aware of exactly what is offered here.

Looking forward to attending it again this year with some new additions. Stayed tuned to read more on the event as the details become available.

Week In Review

In his report to the Ottawa health board on Feb. 8, he said Ottawa has welcomed 700 refugees.

So far, Ottawa Public Health has held 10 outreach clinics for refugees, which included access to vaccines.

“We have provided 500 vaccines and 400 dental

and Refugee 613 to address needs as they arise, Levy said.

“Our staff are working to adapt to a constantly changing dynamic,” he said. Rideau-Vanier Coun.

Mathieu Fleury asked if the number of refugees in the capital is up that much because of the influx of Syrians.

“We have a number of refugees settle in this city every year and I wonder if there will be that much difference from the normal amount we see,” he asked.

Levy said it’s too early to tell.

“We’re just in the first three months,” he said.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who has been appointed the city’s liaison for the resettlement efforts, said it’s not necessarily the amount of refugees, but the concentration.

“We have approximately 700 that have arrived in just a couple of months,” he said.

SCHOOL SUSPENSIONS

Several local children will be getting vaccines this year.

Health board chair, Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, said public health’s ‘every child, every year’ strategy – designed to bring Ottawa’s student immunization records up to date – has resulted in 3,800 school suspensions of one day or more, since the program was first implemented.

The program started in April 2015 – when staff found that of the city’s 150,000 school-aged children, records for approximately 63,000 were not up to date.

The report indicated that parents weren’t aware of their responsibility to report immunizations to public health. Qadri said the possibility of school suspensions – while not ideal – has garnered 96 per cent compliance in the schools that have been surveyed. The last batch of letters were to go out to parents on Feb. 9, he said, with suspensions to take effect in March if the records are not updated. “Staff have made tens of thousands of phone calls,” he said.

Other public health priorities this year include fall prevention for seniors, mental-health initiatives and sexual health education for priority groups, Qadri said.

OSU Signs Canada and MLS Goalkeeper Coach Mike Toshack OSU is pleased to announce that Mike Toshack, recognized as one of North America’s foremost and experienced goalkeeper coaches, has agreed to lead our Goalkeeper Academy within the OSU Force Academy. Coach Toshack, has guided some of MLS’s and NCAA’s best known goalkeepers and brings over two decades of professional, collegiate and international experience to our program.

Mike Toshack’s tremendous track record of tutoring goalkeepers at all levels around the world has seen him working with five professional clubs over his career as well as serving as Goalkeeper coach for the U20 and U23 Canadian Men’s National teams. Toshack has won titles at every level, including two MLS Soccer Championships ( 2015 Portland Timbers, 2007 Houston Dynamo ), one USL championship ( 2006 Vancouver Whitecaps ), and one NCAA championship with Saint Lawrence University.

In particular, he has spent the last decade working with MLS Clubs such as Vancouver Whitecaps, Houston Dynamo, Toronto FC and Portland Timbers. During his time in these environments he had the opportunity to prepare and coach against the world’s best clubs – such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. All of this said, we know that he will help elevate and expose our club goalkeepers to another level of performance. Having grown up in Eastern Ontario, Coach Toshack returned close to Ottawa when the opportunity to coach St Lawrence University (Canton, NY) presented itself two years ago. Given their close proximity, working with Ottawa’s elite club, OSU made a lot of sense.

“Connecting with OSU Force Academy is an exciting opportunity for me to enter into the youth side of the game. I was immediately impressed with the work going on within their program and the aspirations of the club and its players” Coach Toshack reflected on his new role.

Paul Harris, OSU’s Technical Director added that “Mike will bring a whole new level of proven goalkeeping experience and knowledge which has not been previously present in the Ottawa area. It will give a unique and special opportunity for aspiring goalkeepers to maximize their potential”.

Mike Toshack will lead an already impressive, and growing group of goalkeeper coaches within OSU. We are fortunate enough to have Les Escobar, Jasmine Phillips, Erhan Yilmaz and Aaron Falsetto also working with our goalkeepers on a weekly basis.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Your sense of time management and practicality come to the forefront this week, Aries. You want to get down to business, and your no-nonsense attitude will shine through.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, this is a great week to just kick back and be yourself without feeling the crunch of deadlines or responsibilities. You’ll get a few free moments to do whatever you like.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Something you have always wanted to do may become possible this week. Maybe it’s something from your bucket list. Bring a friend to join in the fun.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 How far you come this week depends on your attitude, Cancer. If you keep an open mind, you will find success. Keep a positive attitude and reap the rewards.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you will have the opportunity to work on a personal problem that has gotten the best of you before. Work through all of the angles before you put a plan in motion.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You may find yourself in the position of middle man this week, Virgo.

Others come to you with their concerns, and you put their minds at ease.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, everything seems like it will be rather ordinary this week. That’s a good thing, as you can use a few laid-back days with not too much on your schedule.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, shopping is on your mind but you may have to put that idea off for a little while longer. More pressing purchases for the home or business take priority.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your finances are a bit difficult to decode at the time being, and that can lead to trouble. Better to bring in someone who knows what he or she is doing to help you work it out.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, if you’re looking to fill the void in your calendar, sign up for a class that will challenge your creative or mental abilities. Try an arts or dance center as a start.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, if you find that you are craving some adventurous activities, get started. But work under the tutelage of an experienced guide to learn the ropes.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 You may find yourself teaching a co-worker some of the intricacies of the job. Don’t feel threatened; it may help lighten your own workload.

Pet Adoptions Meet LiLy (iD# A185939)

Pawsitive Winter Activities for You and Your Dog You want to be the best pet owner for your dog and you know that means providing plenty of exercise and stimulating activities each day. But let’s face it – that’s not the easiest thing in the winter.

Here are some ideas to help keep your pet happy and healthy until the sunshine and green grass return.

Indoor games Many dogs can easily learn to play hide-and-seek with you.

Games like this provide some indoor exercise, as well as mental stimulation and fun, for your pet and your family!

New toys Stock up on toys that are interactive and stimulating for your pup. Tug toys, for example, will provide fun, exercise, and interaction.

Stuffable toys that make your dog think and work to get to a treat are also great, but make sure you’re not overcompensating fewer walks with far more treats!

Nose work Challenge Rover’s nose by hiding treats throughout the house for him to search for; create an obstacle course to be sniffed

through to find his dinner; or create interactive challenges for your dog by hiding a treat under one of several covers, and praising him when he finds it.

Outings Next time you’re heading out to your local pet store or animal shelter, take your dog with you. He’ll be excited to get out of the house, see and sniff new people and animals, and show off some of his good manners and obedience training in hopes of coming home with a new toy or treat.

Join a class Take your dog’s training to the next level by joining a new obedience or agility class. This will provide a regular outing for both you and your dog to look forward to each week, and give you new interactive tricks to practice together at home.

Plan a FUN outdoor activity Find a scenic, pet-friendly location for snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, or winter hiking. Invite some friends along to make for an enjoyable group activity.

Spice up “the walk” Alternate between walking and jogging with your dog every 10 minutes or so. This will help keep things interesting for your pup, and it will help keep both of you feeling warmer while you’re out. Pausing the walk for snowball fetch is another exciting activity for your dog, and you don’t have to worry about favourite dog toys getting lost in the snow!

Pet of the Week: Lily (ID# A185939) Meet Lily (ID# A185939), a playful and energetic girl looking for her purr-fect match.

Lily is a pretty brown tabby that loves to play. She can spend hours batting around her favourite wand toy. When she’s done playing, she’ll curl up beside you on the couch for a relaxing evening.

Lily would prefer to be the only cat in the home so she can have all of the love and attention to herself. She loves making new friends, so come to the shelter to meet her today!

For more information on Lily and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:
