More lots, front garages for Mahogany development Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Two years into its housing project in Manotick, Minto is asking the city to approve a plan to add more units and redesign a gateway feature inside a five-hectare section of Mahogany’s Phase 1. The changes, if approved, would affect a small area of unregistered lots off of Manotick Main Street, referred to as Phase 1B. Among other setback adjustments, the rezoning and subdivision amendments would reduce the number of 60’-wide and 35’-wide lots in the

area to create 16 new 38’-wide and 86 new 47’-wide lots – adding 14 new lots and a wider range of housing sizes. The amendments are part of Minto’s attempt to respond to “market changes,” according to a planning rationale submitted to the city in June. “Minto has reviewed their housing plans and has proposed to change the lot sizes in the unregistered area of Phase 1 ... to create a new product that will be more affordable,” reads the document, which was created by Fotenn consultants on behalf of Minto.

packs. “That was an increase from the first year when they donated 100,” she said. If last year’s numbers are any indication, those supplies will be needed. O’Meara said the charity handed

out 1,292 backpacks last year and she expects there will be more needed in 2014. By Aug. 6 there had already been 1,196 given out, with more than a week to go until the close of registration. “We grew by 150 applications in one day,” O’Meara said. In addition to providing backpacks stuffed with school supplies for families in need, the exchange also maintains a list of each application for a Tools For Schools kit that includes which local charities offer the same

service to reduce duplication. The exchange starts collecting school supplies and monetary donations at libraries starting in May. “We start at the close of the last school year, when people feel comfortable talking about school supplies for the next year,” O’Meara said. O’Meara said the backpacks are divided into kindergarten, grades 1 to 3 and grades 4 to 8.

Beltzner – is getting information to residents and planning a public meeting. Minto wants to bring its application to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee on Sept. 4, but Moffatt said it’s impossible. “That’s a very aggressive timeline that Minto wanted,â€? he said. More likely, a community meeting will be held in the late fall after the municipal election is ďŹ nished on Oct. 27. “To me, there’s no rush for this. Phase 1A is not sold out, no one’s knocking down the door. So it can wait until November or December.â€?

corner feature a few months ago, when Minto’s planners met with him to discuss removing the rear-loading designs. He said the change doesn’t seem to come from a place of mal-intent. “I spoke to many people at Minto including (vice president of land development) Jack Stirling before they ďŹ nally made a decision that they just couldn’t justify keeping them as is,â€? he said. “They knew I wanted it, they knew the community wanted it, but they just couldn’t do it.â€? Moffatt’s main concern – one he shares with

with the community to create a design plan residents could live with. Part of that, Beltzner said, was that Minto “made a commitment that this would be a premier project that is different than what you would see in Barrhaven.� Having rows of garages visible at the community’s southern entrance goes against this premise, he said. “It would look like just another densely packed suburban street,� he said. “They (could) now go for that kind of lot size for the rest of the development. Once it’s approved, it’s easy to just go with the cookie cutter.� Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said Minto is capped at 1,400 homes, so the 14 units added now will just balance out the number of lots in future phases. “If they didn’t change it here, it would have come in phase two,� he said. Moffatt said he addressed concerns about the changed

cess to allow Minto into the village. “The strength of the (negative) reaction surprised me when I let people know about this,â€? said Manotick Village and Community Association president Klaus Beltzner. While he said he’s just the messenger – Minto hasn’t provided enough information to decide if this change is appropriate, he said – he has been ďŹ elding comments from residents involved in the long ďŹ ght to stop Minto, which began about seven years ago. “They feel very much taken advantage of. All their worst fears about Minto came true with this,â€? Beltzner said. “If you’ve won a big battle and you’ve made concessions, don’t go back on the concessions: that’s the message I’m getting from comments.â€? When Minto won its Ontario Municipal Board appeal to develop the Mahogany lands in 2009, the approval included a commitment to work

The biggest change would affect 19 planned units at the southeast corner of the development, at the intersection of Century Road and Manotick Main. These units were originally approved with rear-loading laneways and garages to create an attractive community gateway at the busy corner. The proposed changes would now move those garages up front, making them visible on the corner while adding 6-metre and 7.5-m backyard setbacks and larger side yard setbacks for each unit. The number of units in that section would be reduced to 16. Minto’s land development manager Erin O’Connor said these changes come from a lacklustre response to similar units in the ďŹ nished Phase 1 area further north. “We have the rear laneways on Windy Lane and we’re ďŹ nding it has been a very hard sell,â€? O’Connor said. Prospective buyers want more of a backyard, she said, and take issue with the shortened driveways in those units, which in some cases aren’t even the length of one vehicle. “It’s a very urban product and this is a rural site where people are expecting a backyard,â€? O’Connor said. “They’re beautiful homes but the quantity of them may not work for that next phase.â€? But economics isn’t a good enough reason for some Manotick residents to accept this about-face on concessions they feel were made during the lengthy, contentious pro-

Dock back on board for Manotick boat launch Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Boaters could be floating on a new dock as early as next spring, thanks to a grant from the city of Ottawa. The Manotick Village Community Association was approved to receive up to

$23,350 to build a floating dock at the boat launch beside the Long Island Aquatic Club off South River Drive. Resident Mel Roberts has been working to replace the dock since it was removed in 2012. The dock came out after the city bought the small piece of land beside Bridge

Street from Parks Canada in the fall of 2011. The city had been in talks with the federal department since 2004 to take over the boat launch, because the city didn’t own the foot of its own bridge. But the deal didn’t include the dock, and in spring 2012 the seasonal structure didn’t

return, leaving boaters without a place to tie up. For the past three summers, boaters have had to either climb into their boats before launching from their trailers, or else wade into the shallows and jump in from there. “People really enjoy launching their boat there ... but it’s not safe,” Roberts said. “If you have boats coming in and out at the same time, there are waves and it’s

very dangerous. This will add a lot of safety and make it more convenient to launch.” Roberts said he’s had a lot of support from the community to bring a dock back to the site, including from Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. “Once he saw the interest from people in the community, he jumped on board,” Roberts said.

“For a beautiful village like Manotick, we need something better. There’s a lot of history of boating on the Rideau.” Roberts hopes to have the dock installed by next spring, although he still has to get approval from Parks Canada. Even though the city owns the land, Parks Canada regulates any construction in the water, and restricts when and how docks can be constructed. “It shouldn’t be too difficult, especially since we’ve already had a dock there,” he said. According to the Parks Canada website, floating dock designs and docks supported on posts are generally preferred. The next step is to choose one of the three vendors who provided quotes for the Rural Community Building Grant application. The permanent floating dock will have a steel underbelly with wood planks on top, a design Roberts said can last up to 30 years in the water. The dock will be eight metres long – the longest allowed under Parks Canada regulations – and 2.4 m wide. A ramp with railings will lead down to the dock. Roberts said the chosen vendor will begin construction on the dock over the winter, and it will be installed in time for the start of the 2015 boating season. “I think we’ll end up with something really nice that will improve Manotick and make people want to come here,” he said.

Hwy. 417 interchange at Hunt Club nearing completion erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - By September, construction vehicles and hardhat-clad workers will likely be replaced with motorists zipping on and off Hwy. 417

at the new Hunt Club Road interchange. Work on the $56-million project is in the final stages of completion, but the grandopening date hinges on Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation, which must inspect

the overpass and interchange and ultimately assume control of it before giving the green light. “This is the first real interchange into the city of Ottawa,� Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said at

Ottawa Hydro has also purchased property east of the gas station to build a new hydro facility, said Deans. The link between the 417 and 416 was approved by city council as part of the 2008 transportation master plan. Next steps included developing plans to extend Hunt Club, from Hawthorne to Russell Road. But shovels couldn’t go in the ground until the province promised in May 2011 to help the city pay for the interchange. “We had the funding in place for (the extended roadway), but of course you can’t build a road to nowhere, so without having funding in place to build the interchange, there was no point in building the road,� Deans said. Once the province committed to split the cost of the interchange and overpass with the city, construction got underway. “It has been a long process,� Deans said of the roadway project. “But it has moved along well.�

With the new interchange, commercial and industrial trucks will be able to exit the highway at Hunt Club, turn right onto Hawthorne and quickly access Hawthorne Business Park. Without that option, they have had to continue along the 417, exit at Walkley Road and take the long way south along Hunt Club to the business park. “But that intersection at Walkley and Hawthorne was failing,� Deans said of the traffic congestion there. “So this will basically distribute the traffic between the two interchanges.� But the benefits for commercial and commuter motorists are tempered by concerns that have been raised by area

News - Between 50,000 and 100,000 people are expected to help usher in a new era for the Gloucester Fair, now known as the Capital Fair. The newly rebranded event is about more than simply a name change after 38 years – it has been expanded from four to 10 days, and has been moved to August from May, due to competing events and sometimes poor weather. With good weather, the Gloucester event drew about 25,000 over the weekend. “It was a tough date to play,� said Harley Bloom, who has been with the volunteer fair board for the past 35 years. This year, it takes place from Aug. 15 to 24. Organizers are optimistic the sweeping changes will translate into success for the event, which is now being billed as a regional fair. Other changes include an expanded midway. World’s Finest Shows will be bringing 30 rides, more than double what was available at the Gloucester Fair. The Capital Fair is not to be confused with the more than 100-yearold Central Canada Exhibition, which stopped operating about four years ago. Lansdowne Park was its home for a number of years. “The Ex was the big show in Ottawa, no question,� said Bloom. “Unfortunately, at this point they’re not able to continue.� World’s Finest Shows was traditionally the Ex’s midway operator every August. “We’re trying the time slot to see how the public will accept it,� Bloom said. In the lead up to the Capital Fair, organizers have scheduled a host of new features to draw in the crowds, including free admission to the fairgrounds at the Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre, courtesy of VLN Technologies. “So that helps a family come to the fair and makes it very affordable,� Bloom said, adding they hope to offer that feature for years to come. A number of agricultural elements will be included this year, though the fair board is looking to expand that component in coming years. “We’re already working on next year,� said Bloom, adding they hope

have more amateur teams here and more professionals now that have actually graduated (from amateur status) than anywhere else,� said Bloom, president of the Canadian Southern BBQ Association. “This competition has really made the difference.� During the first day of competition, Canadian professional teams will vie for $10,000 in prize money, while amateur backyard barbecue enthusiasts will compete for a smoker. “If you like old-style southern smoked food, like ribs and chicken, and brisket, pulled pork, this is the place to be,� he said, adding that fairgoers can sample each entry for $1 and vote for their favourites. The fair will also feature an eclectic array of local musical talent, arm wrestling competitions, and new this year, there will be horse racing on Aug. 22. The day before the fair opens to the general public, Hydro Ottawa will once again sponsor a free day at the event for more than 1,000 developmentally delayed and physically disabled children. “The rides go a little slower; we have a hot dog and ice cream lunch for them,� Bloom said, adding that there will also be live musical enter-

4837 Albion Rd. Organizers are currently working on providing a shuttle bus to the fair for those who rely on public transit. Parking will be available at the Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre for a suggested $5 donation to a children’s charity.

PUBLIC MEETINGS All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda, please visit Public Meetings and Notices on ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1.

to include 4-H youth exhibitors, as well as contests featuring horses, cattle, sheep and dogs. In the meantime, fair-goers will soon enjoy the expanded Western Horse Show, complete with barrel racing. The Papanack Zoo will show exotic animals, a blacksmith is returning after a brief hiatus, and other acts will include a petting zoo, birds of prey and a reptile rainforest. A pet show has been added, and will include agility training and a dog-stunt show. “That’ll be a bit of fun for the kids to watch – dogs walking tightropes and driving cars,� Bloom said with a chuckle. Monster Truck shows have been included for a sixth year, which typically have drawn about 5,000 fans. Zombie-wannabes won’t be left out of the fun. Fair patrons who arrive on Aug. 19 dressed as the walking dead and with a non-perishable food item can purchase a ride bracelet at a discounted price. Donated foods go to the Ottawa Food Bank. “We’re going to have a theatrical set in place so the zombies can take selfies,� Bloom said. Tasty treats will be another attractive feature, particularly during the Southern Comfort Smoked to the Bone Barbecue Championship on Aug. 23 and 24. “Ottawa is probably the hot bed of southern barbecue in Canada.

Ramp up plan to clean our river

T

he city celebrated the heritage and history of the Ottawa River last week at Pinhey’s Point Historic Site. Today, it is the source of drinking water for millions living in Ottawa and Gatineau, and boasts several beaches for recreational use. Boast is perhaps too strong a word, considering the number of times the nation’s capital has been forced to shut down its popular swimming areas due to a rise in E. coli levels, caused by animal droppings washed into the water and rainfall, which causes sewage systems to overflow into the river. The root of the problem is an old network of pipes, built between the late 1800s and 1960, that carry both storm water and untreated sewage, creating combined sewer overflows. Last month, millions of litres of untreated sewage was dumped into the river during heavy rain storms. The overflow is supposed to be treated at sewage plants, but the city is forced to divert the mixture into the river to prevent possible flooding and sewer

backups. The city is now in the fifth year of the Ottawa River Action Plan, a combination of 17 projects aimed at improving the health of the river, including a $195million plan to build large underground storage tanks to capture sewage in the event a treatment plant can’t process it fast enough. The plan aims to virtually eliminate the dumping of sewage into the Ottawa River. The city hopes to cover one third of the cost with the federal and provincial governments kicking in the rest of the funding. The provincial government says it supports the plan but is waiting for the federal government to commit funding until making any commitment. Meanwhile a new round of federal infrastructure funding is scheduled to begin this year. Our local MPs need to take action and press the government to provide the needed money as soon as possible. Right now we have a massive natural feature that is nice to look at but too often dangerous to touch.

A lesson plan for doing nothing

T

he week before our camping trip, I had big plans for my kids. They’d done the day camps – music, canoeing, etc – we had done and would be doing more family tent camping. Week five of summer was going to be jam-packed with activities with mom: trips to museums, maybe a beach day, rent a boat at Dow’s Lake, a trip to Parliament, perhaps a visit to the grandparents’ house. And then I put my back out. Six days before the big solo camping trip and with no scheduled childcare, I found myself unable to walk. At first, in my usual non-resilient way, I just moaned internally and wondered how the heck I was going to make it through the week. Then I

moaned on Facebook. Then I called my mother, who lives overseas and just had knee surgery, and I moaned to her. In other words, I did nothing productive or useful. And then I did something I rarely do: I completely dropped my parenting standards. It was the best thing I ever did. Without my usual “eat healthy food,� “go outside,� “let’s get this closet organized� voice, the kids were super relaxed. In fact, they didn’t re-

ally care to go out. They just wanted to have some hang time at home, you know, because it’s summer. I’ve categorized their week of “doing nothing� as a sort of lesson plan that other parents could follow. Introduction to first aid: Help mom with ice pack and heat pad. Arts and crafts war history hour: With pencils and some cardboard, the boys make get well soon cards, including exploding Zeppelins and Second World War bombers. Fitness: Toddler does yoga stretches on the living room carpet for the first two hours of the morning. Older kids hold an impromptu dance party in the living room. Anatomy: Eight-year-old teaches himself how to inflate a glove with his nose.

Nature studies: An hour in the backyard under the sun, poking toads, while mom loosely offers direction from the zero gravity chair. Survival skills: The boys choose to make their own lunch or starve. Media studies: Toddler naps. Mom naps. Boys watch Pokemon movie and other quality programming on Netflix. Culinary arts: Dinner is from a can. Boys warm on stove. Personal hygiene: No baths. Yay! Self-discipline: Kids put themselves to bed about 90 minutes later than normal, but ... Literary studies: They have a stack of good books that mom picked up from the library the day before her injury. The next four days were pretty much a repeat of the first. Swap ’70s Passe-Partout for Pokemon and frozen for canned food and you kind of get the gist.

All said, the week went well and I wondered if most of us take this parenting thing just a little too seriously to have a good time. Maybe kids, just left to be kids, can do a lot of learning and have a whole lot of fun all by themselves.

NHL hockey book encourages heroics on and off the ice Matt Carkner and former Phoenix Coyotes defenseman Bryan Helmer – were inspired to write their book after their own hero, their dad, died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 58 Arts - Everyone can be a hero. That’s the message in a new children’s book about six years ago. Looking for a way to speak to their families developed by a pair of Winchester-area sisters, who used their experience in NHL hockey are- about what happened, they started writing short nas to create a young hockey hero who learns stories about their grief, which they eventually important values like family, community ser- submitted to publishers. But publishers weren’t interested in sad stories, and in December of vice and physical activity. Sisters Kary Carkner and Pam Helmer – last year the sisters took another route: writing married, respectively, to New York Islander about the values that make them happy. “We share a love of hockey and of Christmas time, and we wanted to find a children’s book that had to do with Christmas and hockey and Santa, and we couldn’t find it,” Helmer said. They decided to write one themselves. Soon, their young character Hero had taken on a life of his own – a life that will hit the stores sometime UÊ,iVi ÛiÊÞ ÕÀÊ Ü Ê «>ÞÊV iµÕit in October. “We hope there will be a series and we’re hoping to see it go UÊ7 Ê Ài>ÌÊ*À âià in so many directions,” Helmer said.

Hero has taken on a life of his own. families, their neighbourhood, and the world around them, they said. In the inaugural book, Hero has a fight with his family and says hurtful things to them before drifting off into dreamland to an adventure at the North Pole. Up north, Hero becomes the superstar in an unforgettable hockey game with Santa and his elves – but he can’t celebrate the victory with his family. He realizes how important they are just in time to discover that he may not be dreaming after all. The authors said Hero’s adventures are meant to encourage kids to be heroes themselves – whether it’s as simple as helping a fellow student carry his books, or one day becoming a firefighter to save lives. “It’s family, friends, helping others, helping the less fortunate. Being a good person and doing a good thing,” Helmer explained. “You only hear sad things and bad things in the news

and we want our kids to realize the good things in life, too.” Their own children already have some experience with those values, as both families have been involved in community events and charitable programs through their hockey organizations. Both the Helmer and Carkner families have been involved in the Carkinator Moto Rally in support of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital – the event is even named after Kary’s husband, New York Islander Matt Carkner, who hosts the event every July. “What our husbands do has a big impact on the story,” said Carkner. “Both of them help with young guys on the team, and help with charities. We show our kids how lucky and fortunate they are and they’re always trying to lend a hand.” The authors hope the self-published book – and subsequent instalments in what they hope will become a series – will become go-to resources for educators and parents. They said it’s already had a positive impact on their own family. “We are both co-writing and it’s so much fun,” said Helmer, who added the process has been a healing one for both sisters. “I couldn’t even talk about (my father’s death) before, but since being able to do this and the steps we’ve had to take to put together the website, to look at pictures, to talk about it with other people, it really has helped me.” Hero the Hero is available for pre-order at herothehero.com. A colouring contest is also underway, and kids can win a New York Islanders jersey signed by the entire team.

Emerson’s experiment turned out to be a blast

I

t seemed to me back then, Father, whenever he wasn’t working the fields, was either mending fences or blowing up stones or stumps. Three generations of Hanemans had tried, with only moderate success, to clear all the land that ran like a narrow ribbon from the Northcote Side Road, across the creek and the Bonnechere, and then to the backfields. There seemed to be boulders everywhere. And stumps, still deep in the ground, where trees had been felled, with their roots left to begin new growth. And so Father, when time permitted, would perform what Mother called “pioneering,” whatever that meant. Father would take dynamite and uproot stumps which would then serve as fencing, piled in rows to separate fields.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Or he would blow up stones, imbedded deep in the ground, heap what was left of them onto the stone boat, and get rid of them wherever Father saw fit. It seemed to me there were stones everywhere on that farm. Some were deep and flat and close to the house, and on these I could play “Jacks,” and I hoped Father would never put the dynamite to them. There were also loose stones, much bigger ones, around the outhouse. Some right against it by nature, and

others piled there to keep the little building upright. Even the rain barrel at the corner of the house sat on a big flat rock. My sister Audrey and I wanted no part of the blasting. But my three brothers, far more adventurous, couldn’t wait to join Father when he let it be known that he was about to blast something out, be it stumps or stones. Even though they knew exactly how it was done, Father alone was the only one to touch the dynamite. And then one day, a hot summer afternoon it was,

Emerson took it upon himself to test his ability as a blaster. Unknown to Father of course, or Mother for that matter, Emerson decided to try his luck at blasting one of the big stones sitting against the outhouse, unknown to anyone, of course. The first hint we had was when there was an ungodly bang, and Mother peeling potatoes in the summer kitchen, with me beside her, barely missed being hit on the head with a piece of rock the size of fry pan that came through the back window, sailed past her head and settled against the wood box by the Findlay Oval. Our feet barely hit the floor as we tore outside to see what had happened. Well, there was Emerson, smart enough to be well away from the scene of the crime, with his face covered with ash, and two dead hens be-

since said she was going to have Old Herman, an authority on outhouses, build a new one as soon as she could afford the new lumber. Until that happened, the two holes alone would be uprighted, and would have to do as an outhouse. Fortunately, they were well hidden in a cluster of cedar trees. Father was harder to deal with. Apart from the danger, a point he barely touched on, he lamented on the loss of the two sticks of dynamite that had been wasted on a building that had served the Haneman family for three generations.

Free workshops to help Latinos understand Canadian culture michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - When Carla E. Mejia Lema arrived in Canada eight years ago she was ready and willing to learn all there is to know about this country. Her journey to Ottawa came shortly after she visited the city during Winterlude, took one look at the Parliament buildings and fell in love. “I said out loud, one day, I am going to work there. I don’t care if it’s washing the floors, I am going to work there,” she said. The Columbian said people around her told her she was crazy but she didn’t let that stop her. Mejia Lema works as MP Mauril Belanger’s constituency assistant and says she loves every minute of it. She describes herself as feisty and strong and it was these two characteristics that helped change the lives of many more Latin immigrants in Ottawa. Determined to give all

SUBMITTED

Launched in October 2012, the Immediate Latino Care Centre offers Latinos living in Ottawa a place to learn. Latin people who live in the city a chance to have a space to meet, speak in their own language and learn what it’s like to live in Canada – Mejia Lema created the Immediate Latino Care Centre (CAIL) to give Latin people a space to call their own. Mejia Lema and fellow Latin friends met with their MP Mauril Belanger and asked for space for the centre. According to Mejia Lema, the MP reached out to the Va-

nier Community Service Centre’s director, Michel Gervais to see if there was an opportunity for the group to host meetings and workshops there. The centre happily obliged. “It’s a small community centre operating out of the service centre,” Gervais said. “It’s a great group, and they are doing great things for the Latin community.” According to Mejia Lema there are close to 22,000 Latin people living in the National

Pet Adoptions TRUDY (A167937 )

Trudy (A167937) is an affectionate bulldog mix in search of a forever home to call her own. This friendly pooch loves people and would fit right into a home with teens who can take her for walks. She’s an intelligent gal who learns quickly. Trudy would like to be the only canine curling up on your couch, so a single-dog home is best suited for her. She has a very sweet nature and would love to find a forever home with an owner who likes to exercise as much as she does! Could that be you? For more information on Trudy and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Capital Region. Since its inception in 2012, the volunteer group has hosted a number of workshops and classes – everything from English classes and English pronunciation, taxes, mortgages, learning the financial system, how to get a job in Canada and self esteem. They offer general information about immigration and the organization also offers free Spanish classes. “This is a place where we can be ourselves and express our needs,” Mejia Lema said. Mejia Lema runs the community centre with her friends on the side, saying it’s a labour of love. And interest is growing, slowly; the organization said it would like the word to get out to all Latinas living in Ottawa. “We are so small it’s really hard to get the word out,” she said. “But the goal is to let everyone know what we do and offer for the community. I think it’s important for all Latin people to know about everything that Canada

provides.”All the classes and workshops offered are free, with all the teachers volunteering their time. “For us it’s difficult to expand because we are all volunteers,” she said. “We have to work to make a living, but when we give the service to the community, when we see

that they are happy, it’s worth it and we want to do more.” The organization will launch its fall programming beginning Sept. 13. Registration is now open, and to sign up for a class or to learn more about the centre email Mejia Lema at cailatinocanada@gmail. com.

PET OF THE WEEK

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:

Meet Jake and other special needs cats at the OHS Adoption Centre at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. or visit the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca for more information. Visit the OHS to consult with adoption staff about whether a special needs pet is right for you.

and gets along with dogs. Sure, he has some tummy troubles — but they don’t define him. The OHS special needs adoptions program helps older animals and pets with often easily manageable conditions get a second chance at finding a forever home. Conditions may include food allergies needing a special diet, thyroid conditions requiring regular, though inexpensive, medication, or heart murmurs that probably need nothing more than annual monitoring. All pets need to visit the vet to stay healthy, not just those with special needs. But some people see the words “special needs” and move on to the next cat, passing by wonderful pets like Jake

0814.R0012838495

Do you have a family member with a heart murmur? How about a friend with a gluten allergy? Just like their human companions, our animal friends may have health or behavioural challenges that may need a little extra TLC. These unique characteristics shouldn’t stop these pets from living a happy life surrounded by the love of a forever family. This August, get to know the cats behind the “special needs” label. This month, adopt a cat or kitten with special needs from the Ottawa Humane Society and your new best friend’s initial vet visit is free. This $85 value is to encourage potential forever families to see the felines behind the label, like Jake, a catnip-crazy kitty who loves to play with laser lights
