Treaty unlocks opportunities kkent@metroland.com

“This is the most important thing since braille.

It’s incredible for blind people.”

On Tuesday, July 5, Manotick local Diane Bergeron celebrated alongside Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre the ratifying of the Marrakesh Treaty – an agreement that will unlock access to 285,000 accessi-

ble books for persons with visual disabilities.

Bergeron, who has been legally blind since the age of 10, has been working on the Marrakesh Treaty for more than four years in her role as executive director of strategic relations and engagement for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) and since 2000 as a volunteer.

Marrakesh Treaty releases accessible books for visually impaired Continued from the front

She recently brought the issue to Poilievre, who has championed it since it was first introduced to parliament in 2015.

Until now, the CNIB and other authorized entities like the Royal National Institute for the Blind were able to produce accessible versions of print books without copyright holder permission, but only within Canada’s borders.

The Marrakesh Treaty lifts the border restrictions, allowing the CNIB and the RNIB to produce accessible versions internationally and also to share content with the agreement’s 19 other partner counties.

Bergeron used the popular Harry Potter series by JK Rowling as an example. When the first book – the Philosopher’s Stone – came out, she said, Canada made eight accessible copies. However, so

did many other countries.

The Marrakesh Treaty makes it possible to avoid that costly duplication and instead share resources internationally.

On June 30, Canada became the 20th country to ratify the agreement – the final drive needed to bring the treaty alive.

“Because of Canada’s leadership, we were the country that pushed it over the edge to now make it international law,” Bergeron said.

Three months from the date of Royal Assent – Sept.

30 – more than 285,000 previously unavailable accessible books will be unlocked for visually impaired persons in Canada. This is a major step for the blind community, Bergeron said.

As someone who reads an average of five books every week, accessibility to a wide range of content is important to Bergeron. She uses audio-

books, paper braille books and a refreshable braille display to consume her literature, and having versions of print books available to her is a game-changer.

Currently, only about seven per cent of books are available in Canada to persons with visual impairment.

Worse, only one per cent of books are available to persons with visual impairment in developing countries and only 10 per cent of blind children there ever receive education.

Bergeron said she hopes the Marrakesh Treaty can make strides towards changing that.

“For me, as a person who loves to read, the ability to get more books and access more books is extremely close to the heart,” she said.

SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS

Poilievre said that the program is a win-win: the visu-

ally impaired receive greater access to accessible materials without a greater cost to taxpayers.

Poilievre said that the Canadian government already supplies funds to the CNIB to record audiobooks.

The CNIB can now continue to produce audiobooks at their usual rate, but they’ll be able to share resources with other countries to create more content without duplication.

UNLOCKED OPPORTUNITES

Bergeron said she recently attended a celebration where they unlocked a stack of chained books and the reality of the treaty’s importance hit her.

“To me, it’s a symbol of ‘We just unlocked opportunities for blind people and people with print disabilities in Canada and all over the world ‘”, she said.

“That’s incredible.”

Farmers from all over the Ottawa Valley donate cattle, funds Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

A Navan farmer has been recognized by the Governor General for the second time.

Wyatt McWilliams was awarded his second Meritorious Service Decoration (Civil Division) alongside 51 other recipients from across Canada on June 23 at Rideau Hall.

McWilliams was recognized for starting the FoodAid program, which donates ground beef to the Ottawa Food Bank.

“I’m really humbled about the whole thing because it really is such a group effort,” McWilliams said. “I’m representing the whole group of volunteers and sponsors that keep it going every year.”

FoodAid started in 2005 when farmers were having difficulty selling cattle. McWilliams said there were extra cattle, so farmers decided to donate ground beef to the Ottawa Food Bank.

He thought it would maybe last a year, but 12

years later FoodAid is still going strong. Fundraisers and sponsors raise $120,000 to $130,000 a year to help purchase cattle to supplement donated beef from Ottawa Valley farmers, and the ground meat is all donated to the Ottawa Food Bank.

Funds are raised at an event at city hall every June with a barbecue and celebrity milking competition; sponsors also donate or hold events, such as golf tournaments – one tournament alone last year from the Mechanical Contractors Association of Ottawa raised $52,000.

It helps the local economy, purchasing cattle from Ottawa Valley farmers, but mostly helps food bank users who aren’t always able to afford meat. Before the program started, food bank users were getting very little meat when they came to pick up food, McWilliams said.

Now, getting some beef is a little more common for those who use the food bank, but often still considered a

luxury. A food bank staff member told McWilliams one client has compared the days he gets ground beef to his birthday.

“I take it for granted because it’s always in our freezer, but some people don’t have that luxury,” McWilliams said.

Getting the award itself was a good chance to be able to take his family to the Governor General’s residence, McWilliams said.

He’s a longtime Navan resident, and bought his farm in 1979 after graduating from Kemptville College.

His family has farmed in the area for several generations, so he has a large network of Valley farmers and volunteers to recruit and help with FoodAid. Since FoodAid started 12 years ago, a little over 350,000 kilograms of ground beef have been donated.

“If you ate today, thank a farmer,” McWilliams said.

“But for a lot of people, if you ate today, thank the Ottawa Food Bank.”

Latest fad in lawn care fascinates the family

M

other stood at the kitchen door looking out onto the

yard.

She refused to call it a lawn. A lawn had nicely mowed grass.

This lawn had tufts of grass growing every which way, because the only means of cutting it was with the scythe, and that only happened when Father had a lull in the everyday chores around the farm. Which wasn’t very often.

Everett was given the job until he cut off the toe of his gum rubbers one day, missing his foot by a mere inch, and that was the end of that.

It would take every last cent out of her egg money in the sugar bowl, but Mother was determined she was going to buy one of those new lawn mowers she saw in Scott’s Hardware

MARY COOK Memories ad in the Renfrew Mercury.

Three dollars was a princely sum, and it would take a long time to build it up again, but it would be worth it.

Mother dumped out the sugar bowl on the kitchen table, and had a few coppers over the three dollars needed to buy the lawn mower. I was so excited, especially since Mother said I could go into Renfrew with her to get it.

We would be taking the old Model T instead of

the horse and buggy, and Mother said as soon as she got home with it, Everett would be put to work. The ad showed a picture of it too, and it vowed it was the latest thing in lawn care.

So off we went, against Father’s wishes, of course, as he could see nothing wrong with the way the grass had been cut on the farm for more than 100 years!

When we got to the hardware store, there it was in the window. I had never seen anything like it. It had

two small wheels and what looked like a cage holding twisted blades inside.

Mr. Scott explained that when the thing was pushed through the grass, the blades, (“sharp as a razor,” he said) cut the grass as neat as you please. He loaded it into the back seat of the Model T after Mother handed over the money, and we didn’t even stop to do any Saturday shopping, but tore out of town to get home as fast as we could to get Everett started on giving the grass in the yard its first proper cut in its history!

Father was nowhere to be seen when we pulled into the yard, but my three brothers and sister were all lined up like soldiers waiting to see this new fangled contraption that was going to change our yard into something to brag about.

Everett, being the oldest, was given the privilege of

being the first to use the new lawn mower. It was hard slugging, since the yard looked like a hayfield, but Everett was told it was important to cut in straight lines, and so tried his best to do as he was told.

He managed to cut a swath right down the middle from the pump to the back stoop. Emerson was getting red in the face from yelling it was his turn, and grabbed the handle of the mower, pushing Everett out of his way. It looked like Everett wasn’t unhappy to give up the job, with the sweat pouring off his face.

Mother stood at the back step yelling orders, and when it was Earl’s turn, the whole back yard sure didn’t look like it did when the grass was cut with the scythe! I was pretty sure I could see Father’s face in the window of the cow byre.

Finally, the whole yard

was done. It was less than perfect, with tufts of grass still standing where the lawn mower had missed. The new lawn mower was rolled into the drive shed, and Mother had made lemonade, and we all sat at the back stoop looking over the newly mowed lawn.

Father emerged from the barn, came over and slumped down on the step beside us. He lit his pipe, letting his eyes roam from one end of the yard to the next.

He wasn’t about to admit it looked any better. “Look’s like a bad hair cut to me,” he said, between puffs on his pipe.

Bring a friend to the Rideau Carleton Raceway July 17 Kelly Kent

Feel free to bring a friend to the Rideau Carleton Raceway on Sunday, July 17.

As part of a national event, Standardbred Canada is encouraging its members to bring friends to the racetrack and introduce them to the sport of harness racing.

“This is an opportunity to introduce people who may not be familiar with harness racing to the sport in a fun way,” said Hailey Saunders, marketing co-ordinator at Standardbred Canada.

Standardbred Canada is the organization that oversees harness racing across Canada. Harness racing differs from thoroughbred racing in that the horses pull a cart instead of carrying a jockey.

Bring a Friend has been hosted for four years across Canada in an effort to promote harness racing. Eight racetracks participate across the country, including the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

There is no cost for admission to the

event, which starts at 5:30 p.m. During the event, the racetrack will offer draws for a ride in the pace car, free programs to the first 100 guests, food discounts, free tip sheets and prize draws for promotional items. Music will entertain guests between races.

The idea is for Standardbred Canada members to bring their friends to the track to show them where to go, what to do and how to place bets.

“We want them to teach the ropes to their friends,” Saunders said.

Ideally, Saunders said that members will bring friends who have either never been to the racetrack or who haven’t been in a year or more.

Take time to get hospital right

T

he National Capital Commission is taking its time to decide where an expansion of the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus should be located.

It’s a decision worth waiting for. Better a good decision than a quick one we live to regret.

The first attempt was ham-fisted, and would have cut away land from the Central Experimental Farm. The public had no real say in the matter, and former MP John Baird – the local liaison with the NCC – seemed content to ignore those voices.

The location was convenient but the farm is cherished by many people – some who live nearby and some from far away.

This was not a case of NIMBY-ism.

Farm supporters know the thin end a wedge when they see one. If part of the farm could be sliced away for the hospital expansion, another “good cause� could come along anytime, and the farm could eventually be sacrificed, field by field.

The NCC is now re-investigating preferred sites for the Civic expansion, including a list of 12 sites pinpointed back in 2008. A recommen-

dation is expected in November.

While it would be nice to have a quick decision, getting it right is crucial. What is eventually constructed will stand for decades; a poor, rushed decision about its location must be avoided.

Proximity to the existing Civic campus would be nice but should not limit the decision makers.

The Civic is but one campus managed by the Ottawa Hospital. If a new campus is created – distant from the Civic – there will be no need to add layers of management. The new building(s) and all the existing campuses will be operated by the same management team.

A new site brings new opportunities. Existing departments at the other campuses that desperately need more space could be moved to the new property, and that in turn could free up space in existing buildings. Demand never goes down, only up.

There are growing, global medical challenges the Ottawa Hospital could address through expansion – potentially benefiting people around the world. And people here in Ottawa.

But only if we get it right.

Piano at city hall a symbol of openness and inclusion

I

t’s funny: just as I was thinking about writing something nice about the piano in the Ottawa City Hall lobby somebody wrote about it in an Ottawa daily newspaper, suggesting that not everyone there likes it all that much.

Actually, you can understand that. Wandering through the city hall ground floor at odd times during the jazz festival, I noticed that the piano was always being played, sometimes really well, sometimes less so, and wondered how the people working near it would feel about. Sometimes, no matter how well an instrument is being played, you wouldn’t mind silence for a while.

But that’s the merest of quibbles. In the larger sense, it’s hard not to admire the decision to put a piano out in the lobby of an

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town important government building for just anyone to sit down and play. What an odd thing to do, but it symbolizes, to me, a spirit of openness that is rare at any level of government.

Whoever is making decisions like that at city hall deserves our praise, even if the piano doesn’t always sound that great. And most of the time it does. The nicest thing about it is that nobody has to sign anything to play it. In an over-regulated society, nobody is regulating it.

It is a totally unbureaucratized

piano.

Typically, people hear it when they are wandering through city hall, as people do. They use the lobby as a short-cut between Lisgar Street and Laurier Avenue.

Or they hear the piano when they emerge from the parking lot underneath, a favourite of those who attend the jazz festival or, in colder times, skate on the Rink of Dreams, another unregulated pleasure that city hall affords, or use the city hall washrooms.

If you were a little kid you could sit down at the piano and practise your recital piece, or maybe try to pick out some tune your heard on the radio. You might do that while your parents are wandering through the city hall art gallery, a much-overlooked institution that puts on exhibitions of high quality throughout the

year and at no charge to the public. Openness to the arts is another welcome feature.

Many people have fond recollections of the previous city hall on Sussex Drive, out by what is now Global Affairs. It was a striking building. But the current city hall, which was once regional headquarters is more centrally located and, as a result, better used. Its ease of access is not just for festival-goers, gallery attenders and those who park underneath but for those who want to drop in on city council meetings. That is important for local democracy.

It seems a no-brainer that the home of local government should be a place where citizens feel at home but most of us know how rare in fact this is.

walls between themselves and the people they serve. We should be thankful when someone makes a decision to go in the opposite direction — not only goes in the opposite direction but provides a piano for good measure.

The old saying is that you can’t fight city hall. At this particular city hall, nobody wants to.

This home in Greely at 5411 Deer Valley Cres. was destroyed by a fire on July 3.

Fire devastates Greely home Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Lloyd White stood across the road from his home, watching as firefighters battled to put out the remains of a blaze that left only the frame of his house.

“I put my all into that home,” White said.

A little in shock, White was speculating about what started the fire, running through all the things that were in the garage and the doors he just finished painting.

“I just don’t know,” he said.

White and his wife weren’t home when the fire started.

They were in Stittsville when they received a call from his sister-in-law who, living down the street, saw the house had caught fire. When they came home, firefighters were battling the fire from all directions, including a crane.

The Ottawa fire department received numerous calls about flames visible from the 6411 Deer Valley Cres. home at 1:51 p.m. When they arrived, both the house and garage were engulfed in flames.

Now White and his family – including a five year old and a five month old – are looking for a new home.

According to Ottawa fire spokeswoman Danielle Cardinal, the family have a few personal items, including baby clothes and a computer, thanks to quick thinking

volunteer firefighters who arrived on the scene in time to salvage some of the family’s items. “We understand fire is devastating and traumatic,” Cardinal said. “And we work hard to salvage what we can.”

White said he built the Greely home in 2011. It’s what he does, he added; he builds homes, makes them perfect inside and out and then sells them. “It means a lot to me, I worked like a son-of-a-gun,” he said. “But it’s just stuff – you can replace materials.”

MULTIPLE STATIONS

Numerous calls came in for the fire and Cardinal credits those calls to the ability of the firefighters to salvage some of White family’s items.

Many of the local allvolunteer fire crews – from Osgoode, Manotick and Greely – came to the aid of the fire and Station 32 on Letrim Road and Riverside South’s Station 37 arrived with pump trucks and a ladder truck.

As the home is in a rural subdivision, there were no hydrants available on the street, so Ottawa fire had to bring in water tankers to help battle the blaze.

Cardinal said more than 165,000 litres of water and 340 litres of foam were used to put out the fire.

Cardinal said the fire de-

partment has a protocol in place to determine the best way to fight a fire, and in rural areas, a second team is in charge of determining how much water needs to be trucked in. The important thing, she added, is that curious onlookers should refrain from checking out the scene, as that can hinder the firefighters’ efforts.

“Stay clear of the area, try and refrain from taking to the roadways, because when we try to bring the trucks, we don’t want to impede their work,” Cardinal said. “We know where the closest fill station is; it’s all been calculated and reviewed. We have managed this and we know what is needed.”

In this particular case, Cardinal said, the closest water reservoir was off of Suncrest Drive and Stagecoach Road.

SIMILAR FIRE

It’s less than two months since a home at 6583 Empire Grove St. was classified as a total loss after a fire on May 24.

Traffic and onlookers were an issue at that fire Cardinal said, making it hard for trucks to make it to the site.

“Please, we know it can be exciting, but try and get out of the way,” she said.

In the case of White’s home, the police managed to close the street and things went much more smoothly.

Horses help humans at Tranquil Acres Kars facility uses equine assisted therapy for clients Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

At Tranquil Acres, therapy sessions are a team effort.

Clients work with mental heath professionals, session facilitators – and a group of horses.

Located in Kars, Tranquil Acres offers therapy through the EAGALA – Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association – model, using horses to assist people with social, emotional and mental health needs. They specialize in Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) sessions to guide their clients towards exploring their thoughts and feelings.

On Wednesday, July 6, Tranquil Acres hosted an open house for mental health professionals, demon-

strating their Horses Helping People program. Hosted by founder Ryan Theriault, the session explored the EAGALA model of therapy.

Tranquil Acres has a team of mental health professionals and certified equine specialists who work together to facilitate therapy sessions.

The EAGALA model places the client, whether they’re on their own or in a group, in an arena with a small herd of horses. There, the client is asked to perform a series of tasks – such as building a structure that represents something, like self care – while the horses mill around inside the arena.

Periodically, the team of facilitators will ask the client to interpret the actions of the horses as they worked.

The idea is to get the client to explore their thoughts and feelings as they project their own personal experiences onto the movement and behaviours of the horses. This is a dynamic way for a client to explore their inner self and hopefully gain some

KELLY KENT/METROLAND

At Tranquil Acres in Kars, horses are a key part in therapy sessions that can help people of all ages dealing with a variety of issues find healing. Here, founder Ryan Theriault addresses a crowd of mental health professionals during a demonstration of their method July 6. understanding, Theriault said.

During the demonstration, one of the participating horses walked through a circle of pylons representing personal space set up by the volunteers. One of the volunteers interpreted this movement by the horse as a representation of her father,

who often forces his way into her personal bubble in an attempt to help when she’s feeling depressed. This is a great example of the EAGALA model at work, Theriault said, since it prompted the client (in this case a volunteer) to project her own experiences into the session.

“We’re allowing the client

issues such as depression, grief, trauma, anger, anxiety, abuse, neglect, ADHD, autism and addiction to name a few. Tranquil Acres also has a program for military workers called HELP: Heroes Equine Learning Program.

At $149 per hour for an EAL or EAP session, Tranquil Acres can be part of a therapy regime also involving conventional therapy or can stand on its own.

More information about Tranquil Acres and its programs can be found at www. tranquilacresguesthouse. com.

to tell their stories through the horses,” he said.

Tranquil Acres uses horses, instead of animals like dogs, in their sessions because of their sensitivity to emotion, Theriault said.

Horses can sense positive emotions as well as emotions like anger, fear and sadness.

“Horses are like big biofeedback machines,” Theriault said. “They can tell a client what they’re feeling before they know what they’re feeling.”

The EAGALA model is used in several programs at Tranquil Acres, and can help people of all ages with

Raising a Canadian Guide Dog puppy in training Kelly Kent kkent@metroland.com

Diane Lyon never goes anywhere alone. Whether she’s at the grocery store, the hair salon or a restaurant, her guide dog puppy in training follows closely at her heels.

Lyon, a resident of Greely, is a “puppy walker” for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. She’s responsible for raising her puppy, Tesla, until she’s ready to enter the world as a certified service dog for someone in need.

“It is such a rewarding thing,” Lyon said of raising a pup. “You’re raising a dog that will someday be helping someone, who will be a lifeline for that person.”

Lyon has been a volunteer with the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy walker program since 2013.

She’s already raised one pup, Ollie, who is currently undergoing his final guide dog

training – and is currently working with two more: Georgia, who is 17 months old, and Tesla, who is five months old. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind typically has between 60 and 80 puppies in training at any given time, said Steven Doucette, events and guider co-ordinator with the organization.

Puppies needs to be paired with a volunteer puppy walker for the first 12 to 18 months of their life; puppy walkers are responsible for raising them, socializing them and helping to train them for their future careers.

Doucette said Canadian Guide Dogs is always in need of more volunteers for the job, and they are currently looking for people in the Ottawa and Eastern Ontario area who might be interested.

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Lyon wakes up around

7:30 a.m. every day to let Tesla out of her crate, where she spent the night sleeping.

She takes the puppy out for a bathroom break and then prepares breakfast for Tesla, Georgia and her personal dog Phoenix.

On Tuesdays, Lyon and Tesla drive to Manotick to attend a one-hour training class from 11 a.m. to noon.

There, Lyon works with Tesla under the supervision of one of Canadian Guide Dogs’ certified trainers on basic commands such as sit, stay and leave it.

Classes are once a week for six-week intervals, running for the duration of the time the pup is in the walker’s care. From there, life is business as usual. Puppy walkers are expected to incorporate their pup into all aspects of their daily lives, to help prepare them for life as a service dog later on.

See PUPPY WALKERS page 21

KELLY KENT/METROLAND

Greely resident Diane Lyon is a veteran “puppy walker” for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. She’s worked with three pups in training to date, seen here with her latest: fivemonth-old Tesla.

These are a few of my favourite things

D

uring the ‘dog days’ of summer, it’s pretty easy to remember why I love living in the country, on a farm.

Allow me to list a few of my favourite things about the country life.

I love when I walk into the turkey pen and after a few minutes, all turkeys sing out at once in one short, melodic warble.

I believe this is proof that they communicate transcendentally. How else would they know to speak, at the same time, for the exact time count? It’s freaky.

I love the turkeys. They are polite, subdued and patient.

They come running over to me and puff their chests out for a scratch. They stand beside me and comment quietly as I pour bags of grain into their feeders and it makes a comforting, sandy sound.

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife I love the way it gets dark during the day when a summer storm is coming.

I love the sudden vacuum that comes along and sucks the humidity out of the air, leaving a cool breeze in its wake. I love the sound of the torrential downpour on the porch roof. I love the summer sky after a storm.

The clouds roll away to reveal a kaleidoscope of pinks and oranges: a sky on fire.

After the rain has soaked the earth, the weeds in my garden give up their hold on the earth with the slightest of tugs. It’s like the sound Velcro makes when you rip it open. I find it extremely

satisfying to pull the weeds out of my garden and have them come up in my hand, roots and all.

I love watching the cats lolling about on the porch, in the shade or the sun, depending on their mood.

‘Shall I bake or shall I nap?”

It’s their reward after a winter of huddling together in the hay loft above the steamy bodies of the cows in the barn. They rarely come in the house these days, as they don’t want to miss one moment of excitement outside. There are butterflies to follow, mice to catch and birds to scare.

Speaking of birds, we

have a few new ones this year. Some yellow finches, red cardinals and a crazy woodpecker who decided the corner of the house right at the head of our bed would be an ideal spot to do his work. I was so proud of myself when I realized the simple action of moving the bird feeder would eliminate the problem.

The woodpecker has gone elsewhere, now that his bird seed is hanging at the back of the house and not in the morning sun.

The remaining birds have a beautiful chorus of song at sunrise. It isn’t loud enough to wake you – it just provides the soundtrack to those last few dreams before waking.

The flowers have spread out to fill the beds, so that weeds have nowhere to grow. The Earl Grey tea scent of the bee balm monarda and the citrus aroma

of the mock orange mix with something else that comes in on the air from the back pasture. Is that honeysuckle? I also smell it wafting down the lane as I walk to get the mail. These are smells you don’t stumble upon on a city street or suburban alleyway.

I love watching the cattle coming in from the field, careful to follow the wellbeaten, diagonal path that they have hammered out across the meadow. Their babies trot along behind them, stopping to sniff a hunk of clover or question a dragonfly, then galloping to catch up.

Summer means dinner on the screened porch for a gathering of twenty. Our combined families and the occasional added friend make a weekly guest list that would intimidate many hosts. But the Farmer and I consider it an honour

and a privilege to have our family join us for dinner once a week. It is the glue that holds us together. The Farmer cooks and I clean. I set up, tear down and pour the wine. It’s a partnership and it works well, for us.

After a long day of working in the fields or the garden under the hot sun, happiness is standing in our modest, repaired aboveground pool, sipping a cold beer or cocktail. Ahh. As the sun goes down at dusk, it’s time to take stock of the scratches and bruises, sunburn and muscle fatigue acquired through another honest day’s work.

These are a few of my favourite things. And you just can’t find them in the city. dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com www.dianafisherbooks.com

The city’s transportation committee has voted down a plan to save the city money by changing the threshold for when plows start to clear residential roads.

Snow plowing to stay at status quo Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A plan to save the city money by changing the threshold for when plows start to clear residential roads was quashed at transportation committee on July 6.

The committee, which voted on a report by consultants KPMG that reviewed the city’s winter operations, in the hopes of wringing some much needed cash out of the snow removal budget, opted to stick with a seven-centimetre minimum standard for residential roads, rather than the suggested 10 cm.

If that recommendation had been implemented it would have saved $1 million.

Half of the savings would have been reinvested in more trucks to re-prioritize roads that are currently meeting the city’s minimum quality standard. The standard is to to have them cleared 10 hours after the snow fall ends.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt, whose ward is 744 square-kilometres and four “beats” (snow plow routes) says he thinks residents would have seen an improvement. The largest of the two beats would have been broken up into two had the report’s recommendation been approved, he said. Moffatt added residents might have gotten on board if the issue had been better presented.

“Does it matter if trucks aren’t coming out until 10 cm if your road is being done five hours earlier?” he asked.

But it was easier to keep with the status quo, he said.

The city’s winter operations budget has gone over by an average of $12 million over the last five years. Ot-

tawa is among the snowiest of the world’s capital cities – with an average yearly snowfall of 2.23 metres.

Moffatt said something’s got to be done, but hopes raising taxes isn’t the answer.

“Taking free money is the easier way,” he said. “It’s much harder to find those efficiencies.”

Moffatt said he hopes staff can work out a solution to prioritizing residential roads before the budget comes up for debate.

“We are talking about $500,000,” he said. “A one per cent tax increase would generate $13 million. I think we can find the money some other way.” Several councillors said the report should have been made public sooner, and residents should have been able to provide feedback before the committee voted on the matter.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said that the process was an insult to the public and urged staff to do better in the future.

“In 2012, we voted for a public engagement strategy,” she said. “And the basic principles weren’t followed. Any changes to service standards should have triggered a public comment process.”

City manager Steve Kanellakos disagreed, and said that the winter operations review was just the first of six departmental reviews staff were asked to undertake by council.

He said that if staff had to consult with the public on every review they did to try and save money the process would get hopelessly bogged down. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who took criticism from Mayor Jim Watson the day before for not setting up his own public consultation, said that releasing the report

“on the eve of Canada Day” pretty much ensured there wasn’t going to be much feedback. But residents weren’t the only ones calling on committee to have their say.

Brian Madden, who heads Ottawa Carleton Public Employees Union Local 503, said the city should have asked the union and the frontline staff where they could save money.

While Madden was pleased that committee chair Keith Egli put forward the amendment to the report that would keep the minimum standard at seven cm, he said another element – the part about re-jigging the ratio of contract work to staff work – should have been discussed with the union first.

“It’s troubling from the union’s perspective,” Madden said. “The union has a good history of working with the city on cost savings.”

Kevin Wylie, the city’s general manager of public works, said KPMG conducted 10 focus groups with frontline workers to get their input.

But, Wylie said, he didn’t directly communicate with the union president about the report and it’s recommendations, he said, adding he could have done so.

That will happen before the item goes to council on July 13, thanks to a direction to staff from Orléans Coun.

Bob Monette.

Aside from the re-jig of contract to staff ratios, the other recommendation to survive the marathon committee meeting was making sure operations for larger roads didn’t exceed current standards. The total net savings of the slate of recommendations was $5.9 million over two years.

“Puppy walkers” needed to raise pups in training Continued from page 13

WHAT IT TAKES

Depending on the day, Lyon might head to the grocery store, go to the salon or spend a few hours at the mall.

Tesla joins her at all of those places, wearing her training jacket all the while. Tesla even joins Lyon for girls’ night, when Lyon meets up with her girlfriends for dinner on Thursdays.

“She comes with me everywhere,” Lyon said. “She goes in the car, on elevators – wherever I need to go.”

One requirement that Canadian Guide Dogs asks of their puppy walkers is that they be with the dog at all times.

Ideally, pups in training are only left alone for two or three hours at a time, Doucette said. This helps prepare them for life as a service dog when they’ll be at their handler’s side day and night.

Since Lyon has two future guide dogs in her care – Tesla and older pup Georgia – she alternates between the two when she leaves the house while her husband watches the other pup at home.

Doucette said such a case is rare, though, and only happens when one pup is almost ready to leave the puppy walker’s care.

Lyon is an ideal candidate for the puppy walker program, Doucette said, because she’s an active retiree who loves dogs. She’s able to spend all of her time with a pup at her side.

covers the cost of food, toys, supplies and vet bills for all of their puppies.

Volunteers are asked to donate only their time, Doucette said.

As an experienced puppy walker, Lyon said there are a few other things to consider though.

Giving up a puppy you’ve raised for 18 months is not easy, she said, but it helps to remember that the dog is going on to help change the life of someone in need.

“You also have to love to talk to people,” Lyon joked.

Having an adorable guide dog in training at your side is a great conversation starter, and Lyon said she is regularly stopped by strangers who have questions or who simply want to pet Tesla.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind regularly raises Labradors and Golden Retrievers as their guide dogs, but also uses German Shepherds and sometimes Standard Poodles as well.

Doucette said people from all walks of life can be ideal candidates for the puppy walker program.

Puppy walkers are required to be with the pup at all times, whether this is at home or at work with permission from their employer. Volunteers also need to be able to attend regular training classes and have a vehicle for getting to and from vet appointments.

Doucette said that retirees are perfect for the program, but they’ve also had puppy walkers who have worked from home, people who work part time, post-secondary students and even families whose schedules allowed an adult home at all times.

In fact, Doucette said the program is a great opportunity for families or students to have a sort of trial run with a dog: VOLUNTEERING the commitment is only 12 to 18 months, and all Lyon said the application expenses are covered by process for becoming a dog Canadian Guide Dogs. walker is relatively simple.

tion, a Guide Dogs representative visits the candidate’s home to ensure it is a good environment for a puppy and to meet any permanent pets.

If the candidate is a good fit for the program, they are assigned a supervisor who will oversee their time with their pup. Then, all that’s left to do is wait for a litter of puppies who are looking to be homed.

Interested volunteers can contact Canadian Guide Dogs at info@guidedogs.ca or 613-692-7777 for more information on becoming a puppy walker. “We’re always looking for volunteers,” Doucette said. “If you think it’s something you’d like to do, give us a call.” Additionally, Canadian Guide Dogs is hosting an open house on Thursday, July 28 between 12 and 3 p.m.

This is an opportunity to see the facility, meet working guide dogs and pups in training and watch a training demonstration.

Admission is free, but Doucette said donations are appreciated.

Economic growth projected for Ottawa Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Director of economic development and innovation Saad Bashir says the city’s economic future is looking bright.

The city still boasts lower vacancy rates in office buildings than its Canadian counterparts, Bashir told the city’s finance and economic development committee on July 5.

Unemployment sits at 6.3 per cent, which is pretty much on par with the national average of 6.8 per cent.

Ottawa’s gross domestic product was $65 billion last

year, falling only behind Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.

But what we lack in cash, we make up for in quality of life, Bashir said, adding Ottawa compares well with other G20 capitals.

Local economic growth dipped from 2009 until 2014, based mostly on the layoffs of government workers, Bashir said. But the report presented to the committee shows an upswing in 2015 and 2016 that brings us more in line with the provincial average.

The bulk of tourists, or 82 per cent, come from Canada.

International visitors only

ottawa

represent 13.1 per cent of the city’s tourism.

Overall the outlook is positive. The Conference Board of Canada forecasts 2.1 per cent growth for OttawaGatineau in 2017.

But Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier said the city has to be careful to keep the momentum going, and not end up with a 2017 hangover, alluding to Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations that are expected to draw more visitors to the capital.

The key to success is momentum in the tourism sector and industry diversification, Bashir said.

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, even if feel like you’re running yourself ragged, all of your hard work will pay off in due time. Just be sure to avoid falling victim to exhaustion; scale back if necessary.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, bide your time until you find the right moment to express your true feelings. You don’t want to come across as premature, and patience can help you fine-tune your thoughts.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It seems like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project, Gemini. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, overcome any lingering doubt by examining your thought process on past successes. Trust your gut instincts, and you probably will not go wrong this week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your Here’s How It Works: loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather.

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 VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric Virgo, evaluate all of your choices when a significant project is entrusted clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! to you. There’s a reason you have been given this responsibility, so don’t be too hasty.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need to be more efficient with daily tasks. Dilly-dallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, maintain your focus no matter how challenging that proves this week. You have some tasks to complete, and they will only grow more difficult if you lack focus.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you do not have the time to cater to every person’s whim this week. Let others know you want to help but need some time before you can offer any assistance.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few days off, even if responsibilities are calling.

Sometimes you need to reorganize your priorities, and some time off can help you do just that.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the week ahead is full of opportunity. Expect some extra work to come your way and make the most of this chance to shine.
