School’s lease on Department of National Defence building ends in 2017 Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - The future of Uplands Catholic elementary school remains unknown after the Department of National Defence announced last year that it was not renewing the school’s lease when it expires in 2017. The Ottawa Catholic School Board said it is too early to determine what the future of the school will be, since there are too many unanswered questions in place for it to make a decision. “There’s no anxiety level that we are aware of at the base amongst our school community for us to do anything immediately,� said Fred Chrystal, superintendent of planning and facilities with the Catholic board. The building that houses Uplands Catholic is currently leased from the DND. According to Chrystal, they don’t yet know what will be the future site of the elementary school. “There is no immediate hurry or concern because we have until 2017,� he said. Chrystal said there are many different variables involved and that they are waiting to see DND’s future plan for the base. A letter from DND indicates there are various options available to the school board, including continued use of the infrastructure through a transfer of ownership of the land and buildings in their current state at market value. See BOARD, page 2

Oh baby: Ottawa to get birthing centre Service to provide alternative to hospitals Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa will be home to one of two birthing centres opening in Ontario, with a scheduled opening this summer. Ontario Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Deb Matthews was at the Midwifery Group of Ottawa on Carling Avenue on Jan. 24 to announce the plans for the

Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre. Renovations will hopefully be complete on the Walkey Road building in the Ottawa Business Park this summer – in time for some women who are currently pregnant to give birth. A birthing centre is an alternative to the hospital or home environment and is operated fully by midwives and intended for normal and low-

risk pregnancies. The birthing centre isn’t far from the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus or CHEO, so patients can be transferred in the event more complex medical care is needed. Midwives are registered health care providers who provide pre-natal care, deliver babies, and post-birth care. Midwives do not handle high-risk pregnancies or premature births, and do not provide inductions, epidurals, or Caesarean sections.

Currently in Ottawa they assist with births in homes and hospitals. There are about 640 midwives in Ontario. It is expected that the number in Ottawa will increase with the addition of the birthing centre. Meaghan Pelton, who gave birth to son Gavin three months ago at her home with a midwife, said she would have chosen the birthing centre if it had been available. See BIRTH, page 4

Chrystal said the school board won’t make a decision until it knows exactly what is going to happen on the base in the future. “Once we get some clarifications around that, then we’ll develop a plan that will involve public consultation,” he said. “Are the lands going to remain part of the Airport Authority? Are they going to remain part of DND’s land holdings or are they going to sell them off and have them rezoned for residential or commercial developments? We need to know what is happening there so that we can make some sort of an assessment as to define the long term viability of the school in that location.” Chrystal stressed that the termination of the lease doesn’t mean closure of the school. Uplands has an enrolment of 110 that has remained stable over the past 10 years, accord-

ing to the school board. Of those, the majority of the students live on the former Canadian Forces Base Uplands while others reside in the areas of Windsor Park, Hunt Club and other neighbouring communities. Once all information is available, the school board will develop a proposal that considers various options for the continued education of students eligible to attend Uplands, said Chrystal. He added that there will be an appropriate consultation process with the community prior to any formal decision by the board. “It is important to note that termination of lease is not school a closure and does not require a school accommodation review,” he said. Elizabeth Park Public School, which also leases a building from the Department of National Defence, will also have to find a new location when its lease expires in 2017.

New director for Ottawa’s council on aging Seasonal, weekly passes added to Financial expert proposed canal fees hopes to find Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - The Council on Aging of Ottawa, headquartered in Alta Vista, has appointed a long-time financial expert as its executive director. Louis Plourde took over the position on Jan. 21. “It is a cause that I very much believe in and any contributions I can bring to move that cause forward and advance it makes me happy. I am delighted to be here,” said 54-year-old Plourde. The council is a non-profit advocacy and research organization that works to influence public policy and programs affecting Ottawa’s 156,000 seniors. It is run by a volunteer board, has four full-time and four part-time staff and about 100 volunteers. Born and raised in Montreal, Plourde brings more than 25 years of private sector experience in asset management, capital markets advisory and investment and ven-

EMC news - Parks Canada has added discount passes to a proposed new fee structure for the country’s canal systems, after a public backlash against potentially tripled lockage prices. The new seasonal pass would cost $15 per foot, up from the current $8.08 rate. The six-day pass would increase from $5.05 per foot to $7.20 per foot. The passes come in the wake of public outcry from boaters and local representatives who said the federal department’s proposed per-use payment system announced earlier in January would kill canal tourism. On Jan. 11, the federal department proposed new fees for national historic sites, parks and other properties in an effort to raise the amount of revenue available for maintenance and operation. Changes to the Rideau Canal’s lockage fees would

have moved all users to a peruse payment system, with few options to buy discounted bulk options like the currently available seasonal and six-day passes. This would have raised the cost of a trip to Kingston and back - manageable on a six-day pass - from $126.25 to $975 for a 25-foot boat. A week later, Parks Canada reinstated the passes based on their higher proposed prices. “Traditional usage by seasonal pass holders has been 28 locks per year. Parks Canada has used this figure to determine the rates for the proposed seasonal and six-day passes,” a statement on the website said. “Those holding a season’s pass will be locking free of charge after 25 lock passages while six-day pass holders will be locking free after 12 lock passages.” A six-day pass will now cost $180 for a 25-foot boat. The full details of the fee proposals are on parkscanada. gc.ca. Parks Canada is accepting comments and feedback until Feb. 18.

ture capital funding to his new position. “I hope I can help to instigate better financial controls, expenditures and budgets,” said Plourde. Born and raised in Montreal, Plourde moved to Ottawa in 2010 and replaces Bernard Bouchard, a social worker and former long-term-care home administrator. “It’s great a challenge and I am excited,” he said. One of his priorities is to ensure the council reaches out to new sources of funding in order to pay for its projects and initiatives. “I know what it is to raise money and I want to give the council the tools it requires to accomplish and further its mandate,” he said. Plourde said he hopes he can help stop negative age stereotypes directed towards the elderly. “I want to help fight an existing perception towards the elderly that they become a weight on society as opposed to a resource … I disagree with that,” he said. Working with seniors is something he is passionate about, said Plourde. “I have always had a soft spot and an appreciation for old people and their contribution,” he said. “It is important for this group not to feel minimized by instead providing them

“That would be a nice middle option,� she said. “Pregnant women aren’t sick. They don’t need to be around sick people (in hospitals).� Her midwife came to her home, and did follow-up visits in the days following Gavin’s birth. The birthing centre will resemble a home more than

a hospital, with painting and decor that will be similar to a comfortable, home environment. “We’re trying to have hospitals focus on things only hospitals can do,� Matthews said. “We said, let’s take a good look at what happens in hospitals that could take place in the community.� It’s expected that 450 to 500 births a year will happen

at the birthing centre. Matthews said that moving births to the centre is cost-effective as they use fewer resources. There is no charge for women to use midwifery services in Ontario. The capital cost to build the centre is being funded by the province, with $6 million committed over two years. The second birth centre will open in Toronto and is

also expected to open this summer. Matthews was also joined by local MPPs Yasir Naqvi and Phil McNeely to make the announcement. “Giving birth is the leading cause of hospitalization for women,� said Matthews, who noted her own daughter gave birth with a midwife. “We think these will be successful.�

Police reach out to city’s Muslims Eddie Rwema eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - The Ottawa police is reaching out to the Muslim community with hopes of building relationships and trust. Police Chief Charles Bordeleau and a team of police officers met with members of the Muslim community on Jan. 24 in an effort to build an understanding and create a dialogue that focuses upon mutual interests. Bordeleau hailed the good relationship that exists between the police and the community but added it can always be better. “It is crucial for us. We live in a very diverse community and for us to be effective we need to build relationships,” he said. One of the major challenges facing the police service is gaining trust among the Muslim community, many of whom are newcomers who have had a terrible experiences with police officers in their home countries. “A lot of newcomers get scared when they are approached by police officers,

because of the police background where they come from. We want to break that myth here,” said Jalil Marhnouj, vice president of the Assunnah Muslims Association The message to them from the police was to feel comfortable and to call the police every time they need help. “We want to enhance the relationship, work with the Muslim community (and) ensure we live in a safe secure community … the police can’t do that alone,” said Bordeleau. “We need the entire community, including the Muslims, to be there with us and to work in collaboration on different things to make our community safe.” One of the major reasons for the dialogue was to break some of those barriers that exist within the community, he said. “They want us to be more visible and they want to trust us,” said Bordeleau. Marhnouj said meetings like this will help build that trust and relationship. “We are inviting them to come to us so that we can get

While the relationship is already good, Marhnouj said they want to build on that momentum going forward. The two parties believe that learning and understanding each other will help a lot in improving relationships.

“It gives us an opportunity to have a conversation and learn more about the Muslim community and for them to know more about us,” said Bordeleau. The dialogue was part of the Ottawa police’s Partnership in Action series, a frame-

work for public consultation and wider engagement. The program aims to identify and build upon community involvement and engagement within policing. “There is a lot of wealth of knowledge out in our communities that we need to tap

into and engage,” said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who also serves as the chairman of the Ottawa Police Services board. “We are trying to let them know that this is their police. They don’t have to fear them.”

UNICEF appealing for Canadians to give emergency aid to Syrian children EMC news - UNICEF is urging Canadians to support its emergency appeal for Syrian children as extreme weather conditions including heavy rain, snow and freezing temperatures has greatly worsened the situation for millions of Syrian children and their families. “The region has recorded the coldest temperatures in 10 years, putting more than two

million displaced or refugee children at severe risk,” says UNICEF Canada president and CEO David Morley. “We are urging Canadians to once again show their generosity and support our work reaching these families who have already lost so much and are now struggling to survive a frigid winter.” The Za’atari refugee camp in northern Jordan, which

shelters 55,000 Syrians, has seen widespread flooding and freezing temperatures. Tents have been swamped resulting in some 2,000 people now sheltering in the UNICEF school. Seventeen of UNICEF’s 19 child friendly spaces – the only safe places in the camp other than school for children to play, socialize and learn – were severely damaged and

remain closed for repair. Many children in Za’atari are without shoes and socks and mothers have reported difficulties reaching medical clinics because of the harsh conditions. Since the beginning of January this year, close to 10,000 Syrians have sought safety in Jordan. Tented settlements of Syrian families seeking safety

in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley are flooded but families have nowhere else to go and are in urgent need of basic items like fuel, blankets and warm clothes. In northern Iraq increasing numbers of children are getting sick as temperatures drop. And as deadly conflict continues in Syria families take shelter in large often unheated public buildings.

UNICEF and partners have been working around the clock across the region. Globally UNICEF has appealed for $196 million to meet the emergency needs of Syrian children and their families. So far $25 million has been received. To learn more and donate to UNICEF Canada’s Syria emergency appeal, visit www. unicef.ca/syria.

ONTARIO IS OFFERING MORE OPTIONS FOR MOTHERS TO DELIVER HEALTHY BABIES Our region will soon beneďŹ t from a new birth centre located in Ottawa South, scheduled to open this summer. The Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre will provide mothers-tobe and their families with a broad range of programs and services led by midwives, with special attention to meeting the needs of the Francophone population. Midwifery care leads to fewer medical and surgical interventions, which beneďŹ ts mothers and babies and provides better value to the health care system. About 142,000 babies are born in Ontario every year and up to 22,000 are delivered by midwives. The centre expects to assist with 450-500 births each year, offering more choice as to where women can deliver healthy babies, while helping to keep hospital beds free to focus on high-risk births.

How to start saving

F

ive years ago, I made a commitment to save at least 20 per cent of my net income per year in a registered retirement savings plan or a registered education savings plan for the kids. So far I haven’t met that goal. But the funny thing is I have started saving. Before I made the commitment, I wasn’t saving anything. It seemed like every dollar that came in was allocated to something. Even if I managed to hold onto money for an extended period of time – like six weeks – we’d get an unexpected bill or I’d spot a deal on a flight to see my extended family. Without thinking about the future value of that money, I’d fork over my limited savings to cover the cost. But one day, a relative who deals in financial matters pointed out to me that, while I was certainly not making a ton of money as a then part-time freelancer,

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse I probably could be saving a little bit of money on a regular basis. He suggested I try depositing all my income into a savings account and then transferring just 80 per cent of the net income into my debit account each month. Simply withholding 20 per cent of my income on a regular basis forced me to learn to live on less. That’s because one of the keys to saving money is putting it aside before you have the chance to consider spending it, says Dilip Soman, a professor of marketing at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, He conducted a series of studies in rural India, which

found people who allocated money to savings were far more likely to save than those who intended to save, but didn’t take the time to portion the money out from their spending budgets. And those who allocated the money toward a specific goal – like their children’s education – were more likely to save than those who were saving without a goal in mind or toward multiple goals. People often view multiple goals as conflicting, Soman explained. If I put money into my retirement plan, am I taking money away from my children’s education fund? In reality, all savings are good, but with too many

choices, potential savers are more likely to throw their hands in the air and give up on the idea of saving at all. Another way to raise the stakes on saving is to implement a transaction fee for accessing the funds. In the India studies, participants were asked to put one to two per cent of their weekly income into an envelope to save for their children’s education. The transaction cost to accessing the funds was to rip the envelope open. Believe it or not, this in itself was enough to deter many people from touching the money. UPPING THE STAKES

But for some participants, Soman and his colleagues up

the stakes. On the envelope used for education savings, they printed a photo of the participant’s children. If the participant wanted to get into the envelope holding the education fund, he would have to rip right through a photo of his children. Over the study’s sixmonth period, not a single participant opened the envelopes with the photographs. The equivalent in Canada may be to put the money directly into the RESP or RRSP or a tax free savings account. The money always belongs to you, which means it’s always accessible in an emergency, but you’ll be less likely to dip into it to pay for your Hockey Night in

Canada party if you’re subject to a transaction fee. If you’re still intimidated by saving, try this simple method to get started: Plan to save a little bit of money in a jar every week for 52 weeks, increasing it little-by-little. In week one save $1, in week two save $2, all the way to week 52 when you save $52. By the end of the year, you’ll have saved $1,378. (A recent article in Chatelaine recommended doing the savings challenge in reverse if you feel you have more discipline at the start of the year). Of course, if you really want to commit yourself to saving, put the money in a jar that has to be smashed to bits when you’re ready to spend the funds.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Making the winter a little warmer for all

W

inter’s chill always comes with some warm ideas. There are people in every community across the city who see winter as the right time to plan their biggest events. What better way to break up a season that begs you to stay indoors and hibernate? After a week or more of punishing cold, people start to get a touch of cabin fever if they don’t spend any time

outdoors. We lose out on opportunities to get some physical activity and we risk losing out on social connections. Cold drives us indoors, making our shopping malls, community centres, rinks and libraries good places to spend time. All are good places to make new friends. While Winterlude does a great job of giving us all something to look forward to, it’s the local, grassroots efforts of volunteers that can reunite Ottawans with the

great outdoors. Doing all that work at -30 C is tough sledding, so to speak, but won’t stop everyone. It’s not easy to run events in January or February in this country, but our hardiest volunteers can be counted on year after year to snub Jack Frost and head outdoors. If you dress properly, keep track of the kids and watch out for frostbite, some of this city’s coldest days are still enjoyable. Be it organizing a winter

carnival in a park or flooding outdoor rinks, it’s volunteers that get the job done. We owe them plenty of thanks and a very, very large cup of hot chocolate. Every year, communities across the country gather at their local rinks to celebrate Hockey Day in Canada. Sure, the weather is often way below zero, and participants can often be seen banging their skates against the ice to keep the blood circulating and warm their chilled feet

– but also visible are the big toothy grins on the faces of children as they wobble across the ice. And it isn’t unusual to see the groups of parents gathered at the boards let out an occasional guffaw as they watch their sons and daughters antics on the ice. It isn’t so much the game. It’s about family and togetherness (it’s no coincidence that the event is scheduled close to Family Day for Ontarians.)

When the going – or weather in this case – gets tough, it has the strange byproduct of bringing friends, families and communities closer together. Let’s be honest, given a choice most of us would prefer lounging on a Bermuda beach or strolling down an Acapulco avenue rather than endure another day of the Great Canadian Winter. So instead of bemoaning yet another day when the temperatures hover around -40 C (with wind chill), grab your sled, skis, skates or winter gear of choice and enjoy this season of togetherness. ’Tis the season to be jolly.

COLUMN

Boo to the hockey boobirds CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

I

t’s nice to have hockey back so that we can appreciate the insights it brings into human behaviour. For example, when the Florida Panthers were in town, Ottawa Senators fans booed whenever the Panthers’ Alex Kovalev touched the puck. This sort of thing goes on a lot in hockey rinks and if you asked Senators fans why they booed they would reply he played for Ottawa a couple of years ago, got a big salary and didn’t seem to try very hard. Another former Senator accused of not always trying hard, Alexei Yashin, used to get similar treatment when he showed up here in a New York Islanders uniform. That’s understandable, I suppose, although cheering your team always seems more useful than booing the other one -- and sets a better example for the kids in the crowd. At home you’re teaching them that hating people is wrong; at the rink you’re showing them that there are exceptions. Generally speaking, the booing has at least some faint historical justification: the player did something wrong, like not play well, or sign with another team. Several Toronto players who played a chippier kind of game heard boos in Ottawa. And of course there is the peculiar case of Daniel Alfredsson, who once knocked a Leafs player into the boards in a playoff game and got away without a penalty. Worse, he stole the puck and scored the gamewinning goal. For that, which happened in 2002, Alfredsson is booed to this day by Leafs fans, every time he touches the puck. In a bizarre twist, the booing is quite loud in Ottawa,

because so many Leafs fans attend games here. So you have the most beloved player in Ottawa history being booed in his own arena because of something that happened to Toronto more than 10 years ago. It is difficult to count the number of ways in which this is wrong. But at least it can be explained. How do you explain that fact that Erik Karlsson, Ottawa’s young defence star, was booed every time he touched the puck on opening night in Winnipeg? What did Karlsson ever do to them? Did he once fight a Jets player? Did he say something nasty about Winnipeg in a local paper? That will sometimes do it. Well, no. He didn’t do those things. He was booed for being a great player on the opposing team. Isn’t that crazy? You boo a guy because he’s on the other team and he’s good. That’s how it works and it’s certainly not limited to Winnipeg. When Sidney Crosby, then 19 years old, played in Ottawa in the 2007 playoffs, the many fans made a point of booing the Penguins star. Why? Many local commentators asked the question at the time, condemning the booing as classless. The only serious defence came from people such as the anonymous contributor to an online forum who said: “We boo someone to take them off their game.� Right. A guy has played hockey all his life at the highest level and is paid millions of dollars for doing so and he is going to be taken off his game because some fans boo. More likely, he won’t even hear it, such is his level of concentration. That’s what Erik Karlsson said after the game in Winnipeg. He didn’t hear it. Two months after becoming a national hero for scoring the game-winning overtime goal for Canada in the 2010 Olympics, Crosby was booed in Ottawa during the playoffs. His team went on to win that series. Of course, they pay for their tickets and it’s a free country and all that. And of course words like “sportsmanship� are rarely heard these days. Still, wouldn’t it be better to save the booing for something truly deserving, like the flu or the commissioner?

Hundreds walk for memories

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean DAVE SMITH COMMEMORATIVE STREET NAMING IN RIVERSIDE SOUTH I was happy to join Mayor Jim Watson as we honoured wellknown Ottawa businessman and philanthropist Dave Smith with his very own street in Riverside South. The street will be located south of Earl Armstrong Road, east of River Road and west of Spratt Road in a new subdivision currently being constructed in the Riverside South community. Mr. Smith has helped raise an estimated $100 million for local and national charities and has worked tirelessly creating and supporting the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre (DSYTC) in Ottawa. He has raised signiďŹ cant funds for this treatment centre which now has three locations to provide help for youth with substance abuse problems. The City’s Commemorative Naming Program honours individuals who have demonstrated excellence, courage or exceptional service to the citizens of the City of Ottawa. CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVE DONALDSON FOR RECEIVING QUEEN’S DIAMOND JUBILEE MEDAL I was pleased to join Mayor Jim Watson as we presented Dave Donaldson, Dean School of Business at Algonquin College, with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Mr. Donaldson has made signiďŹ cant contributions to his community through his years of service to Ottawa Tourism, the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce and through education at Algonquin College. The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is meant to honour individuals who have made a signiďŹ cant contribution to Canada and their local community and are part of the worldwide celebrations in honour of Her Majesty the Queen’s sixty years on the throne. CITY OF OTTAWA SEEKS INPUT ON LONG-TERM WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN The City of Ottawa is seeking public input on the development of a 30-year plan to manage and minimize waste. Residents can offer their feedback through an online questionnaire at www. Ottawa.ca/talkwaste which will help deďŹ ne the goals and targets of the plan and establish priorities for waste management in the City. I would like to thank Mr. Marcel Moncion of Moncion’s Independent Grocer, for his contributions to the pancake breakfasts last weekend, which were provided for residents who attended the public open house.

Annual event raises $246,000 for Alzheimer Society Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The Carleton University Fieldhouse was packed with people walking for memories. Just under 600 participants turned out for the 17th-annual Walk for Memories in support of the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County on Sunday, Jan. 27, raising more than $246,000 for the cause. For one Ottawa family, it was an opportunity to help others experiencing the effects of the disease. “People just really need to understand you don’t need to be afraid,â€? said Laurel Leslie, who attended the event with her husband Chris, daughters Morgan and Sarah, mother-inlaw Vera, sister-in-law Kathy Underhill and her daughter Emily. All hailing from OrlĂŠans, Team Pink came decked out in neon shirts, sparkly hats and hair pieces. The amount of support available from the Alzheimer Society for families and caregivers is incredible, said Laurel, who volunteers with her husband for the organization. The Leslies have experienced ďŹ rst-hand the effects of the disease. “On my side it was my maternal grandmother and her sisters.

Finding the right summer camp involves balancing a number of different considerations, including your child's interests, day camp versus overnight camp, location, and cost.

How to choose a summer camp: a guide for parents Matt Barr

EMC lifestyle - Summer is a great time for kids. They need to get away from the everyday stress of school as much as adults need to get away from their full time jobs. What better way to help kids relax and enjoy their time off than to send them to summer camp? (By the way, this gives parents a nice break too.) Before you make a camp decision for your child, there are a lot of factors to consider. You will want to do your homework before you drop your child off for the day to be cared for by people you hardly know. It’s not easy. There are so many camps to consider and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are

day camps, overnight camps, golf camps, horseback riding camps and science camps to name a few. Here are some general considerations: • Your child’s interests: What does your child like to do? Children know what they like and don’t like. Ask them for their input. If your child is active and loves to play sports, a sports camp is probably right for him or her. If your child is creative, then choose a camp that offers arts and crafts. • Day camp versus overnight camp: Depending on the age, maturity and independence of your child, he or she may or may not be ready for an overnight camp. Some overnight camps accept children as young as six years old.

Only you can decide when the time is right. • Convenient location: Location is important because you will have to drop off and pick up your child every day. You’ll want to consider your drive time and also keep in mind the hours of the camp. • Cost: Of course, the cost is something to consider. The cost of camp should reect the service provided. When comparing camps by price make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Some camps include lunches, while others include snacks, T-shirts, hats, extended hours and ďŹ eld trips. Price alone can be misleading. I’ve always believed, “You get what you pay for.â€? See ASKING, page 13 R0011885163

Registration starts Monday, February 18 at 9 a.m.

Challenge your child’s imagination with a week of fun and learning – in a bilingual environment – at the Canadian Museum of Civilization!

Now may be the best time to talk to your children about how they feel about spending some of their summer at a camp.

CAMPS

Asking the right questions about summer camps Continued from page 12

• Research: With pencil in hand, contact the camps you are considering and ask some specific questions. Not all camps are created equal, so ask the same questions to each camp director and compare their answers. You need to feel comfortable with their answers before you make your choice. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few questions to get you started: 1. Who do you hire as counsellors? Are they experienced? How old are they? Are they certified in CPR and first aid? Have they undergone a criminal record check? 2. What are your hours for the camp program and for pre- and post-camp care? Is there an additional cost for

extended hours? 3. What is the ratio of campers to counsellors? Ratios of 8:1 are common. A maximum of 10:1 is probably the most you would want. 4. Are snacks or a lunch provided? Is the lunch program optional or mandatory? 5. What do you do on rainy days? Are your facilities air conditioned? 6. Do the children swim every day? What are your rules for supervision at the pool? Is there a wading pool for young campers? 7. Do you offer any discounts? 8. Can you provide a list of references or testimonials? Word of mouth is the best reference. Ask around and find out where other parents are sending their children. 9. How are different age

groups divided? 10. What if my child doesn’t like the camp? Do you offer a guarantee? What is your cancellation policy? 11. Where can I find more information about your camp? Do you have a website? Can I register online? Can I pay by credit card? The best way to determine if a particular camp is right for you is to ask a lot of questions. Camp directors are used to answering questions about every detail of camp. If you don’t get the answers you are looking for, keep searching. You need to feel good about your decision. After all, you want your child to have an awesome camp experience that will forge memories to last a lifetime. – Camps Canada

Among the myriad possibilities available, day camps organized by municipalities or private organizations are very popular choices. As soon as the school year finishes, the children can get together for a program packed with activities. Lasting from five days to six or seven weeks, the day camp allows participants to enjoy the outdoors while getting involved in supervised activities. If you decide on a camp lasting several weeks, you can pay for as many weeks as you choose depending on your own vacation.

In municipalities, the program often follows a specific theme which evolves over the summer. The children meet every day in the school yard or in a park where they participate in many different games. Indoor activities are organized during periods of rain. Camp programs often include time for swimming in outdoor pools or lakes as well as trips to tourist attractions and other interesting sites. Normally, children still at primary school are grouped according to their age. Traditionally, the day camp adventure finishes with a big party to remember the highlights of the summer and for everyone to say their goodbyes. – Metro Creative Graphics

Residents want to see creative solution to parking garage Michelle Nash michelle.nash@gmail.com

Staying Focused on Jobs and Growth Jobs and economic growth are the most important issues for a majority of Canadians. A few months ago, Jim Flaherty, our Minister of Finance, updated the country on where Canada stands and how we have dealt with the global economic crisis. The Minister indicated that we have avoided many of the troubles facing other countries, and remain on track to return to a balanced budget in the medium term. The Economic Action Plan is working. Since its launch in the summer of 2009, the Plan has helped create over 900,000 net new jobs. To build on this success, we also recently passed the Jobs and Growth Act 2012 which is helping grow Canada’s economy, fuel job creation and secure Canada’s long-term prosperity. We are accomplishing this through measures such as the one-year extension of the Hiring Credit for Small Businesses, making improvements to the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSPs) and adjusting tax rules to encourage Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPPs). We have also been diversifying our international trade relationships in order to open new markets for Canadian businesses. Prime Minister Harper met with dignitaries in countries like India, the Philippines and Hong Kong in order to achieve this. Our Government is also making changes to our immigration system in order to better align it with the needs of our economy. We are taking steps to encourage high-skilled immigrants to come to Canada through the Canadian Experience Class, a category we introduced in 2008. Additionally, Jason Kenney, our Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, has announced the introduction of a Start-Up Visa to recruit innovative immigrant entrepreneurs who will create new jobs in Canada. My purpose in politics is to expand freedom so each person can earn success, own their destiny and take responsibility for their life. Canadians can count on our Government to accomplish this by remaining focused on jobs, growth and economic prosperity. We have succeeded in avoiding many of the trials that face other countries, and will continue to control spending and keep taxes low. Pierre Poilievre MP Nepean-Carleton

EMC news - When it comes to a potential parking garage moving into the Glebe, some residents would like to see it become something more than just a place to park a car. A public open house concerning the development of a parking garage at 170 Second Ave. brought many residents out on the cold Jan. 23 evening. The proposal to replace the current 49 space parking lot with a three-and-a-half storey parking garage with 156 parking spaces drew mixed reactions amongst those in the crowd. Brian Mitchell, the Glebe Community Association traffic committee chairman, attended the event and said he had mixed opinions about the proposal. “We would like to see mixed-use, to fill the space with more than just parking spots,” Mitchell said. “Some residents in the immediate area of the proposed area have raised some concerns and there is a lot of angst concerning Lansdowne and the impact parking in the area will be impacted.” The project would be built before the completion of the Lansdowne Park redevelopment and was first announced at the Glebe’s association meeting in November by Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. The councillor then said the purpose of the structure would be to fill the current needs for residents and businesses in the area - not simply add parking for

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Glebe residents weigh in on a proposal to build a parking addition at an existing municipal surface lot at 170 Second Ave. The new structure could add more than 100 parking spaces to the area. Lansdowne. Greg Best, the chairman of the Glebe Business Improvement Area, agrees. He said from a business perspective, this parking structure is important to be able to compete with nearby “big box stores” by offering parking for local businesses. But, he added, the space does not need to be a drab, grey cement building, but rather a creative space for residents to also enjoy. Best mentioned a rooftop garden, or space for VRTUCAR and bicycle parking could all be added to the structure’s design plans. He also pointed out it could offer residents a place to park during parking restrictions. “Anything is possible,” Best said. The open house had multiple placards set up in the base-

ment of St. Giles Presbyterian Church for residents to walk around and study the proposal. There was also a satellite image on a board where residents could place comments and ideas on sticky notes. The city and consulting firm, Morrison Hershfield, had staff available to discuss the project and listen to ideas. Mitchell said the important thing for residents is to think outside the parking garage box and add to the community in a creative way. He suggested it could be an opportunity for the local Metro to expand or to add other retail options on the site, adding he is not entirely certain there is a need for a large, three-storey parking garage for the neighbourhood. “If you look at the statistics pointed out here, it shows Saturday as being the busiest

day, which is understandable, but does that make there be a need for more?” he said. “Let’s make it mixed-use, have some commercial space rather than fill than have cars fill the entire space.” Mitchell was pleased with the consultation process and said the association will be staying on top of the issue. For Glebe businesses, Best said it is important for the local shops to have parking. “As much as people want to be creative with cycling paths and more walkability, let’s be realistic, it’s -40 C out today. Sometimes you need a car,” Best said. Mary Gracie, program manager for parking studies at the city said they are looking for as many comments and ideas as possible and can contact her at mary.gracie@ ottawa.ca.

forward for feedback in February. He has been working with Coun. Doug Thompson and city staff for two years to help his Winchester-based club connect to Ottawa trails. Under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, ATVs are only legally allowed to cross roads at 90-degree angles – not drive alongside them. To change the rule, municipalities must pass a by-law allowing ATVs on shoulders.

Six of nine municipalities that touch the city’s boundaries have such by-laws, including North Dundas and North Grenville. Gough’s proposal matches the rules in Winchester so there is consistency for club members crossing the city boundary. Single-seat ATVs with stock mufflers would be allowed on select sections of roads from half an hour before dawn to half an hour after dusk. The proposal includes Cabin Road between Doyle Road and Manotick Station Road, and Manotick Station Road between Cabin Road and Springhill Road, and a couple other small links along roadsides. Thompson has also agreed to consider allowing ATVs to come down Second Line to access the restaurant and grocery store. Gough, a Greely resident, said the plan recognizes the economic potential of allowing ATVs greater access to villages. “You have residents who leave the city to ride,” he said, noting that a planned Ride for Dad in Winchester has already attracted 60 ATV riders from outside the area. “It really promotes tourism.” In response to questions of drunk driving and hooliganism, Gough said those riders are the exception and will not be tolerated by the club. “We want to be on a trail so badly, we’ll police ourselves,” he said. “There’s always going to be hooligans in cars and hooligans in ATVs, but we’re going to do our best to weed them out.” Members of the public can offer feedback on the proposed by-law at a public meeting on Feb. 20 at the Osgoode community centre.

Parents get first look at Mutchmor addition als we need to have through the ministry of the environment, the fire marshal, the ministry of education, the city and our own board and if we can meet all of that there is no concern, but it’s a case of if there is any hold up anywhere, it puts the September 2014 deadline in jeopardy,” Clarke said. On Jan. 14 the board announced it received a total of $47.9 million from the Ontario government, enabling them to build one new school and make major addition/renovation projects such as the one at Mutchmor possible. To build the addition, the board requested $7 million. New renovations are estimated at $5 million through a capital grant, $1.3 million for upgrades to the existing building with the remaining $700,000 funded through the ministry of education’s capital reserves. So far they have secured $1.3 million for upgrades to the current school building. They received $4.6 from the capital grant and the $400,000 gap in funding has left certain portions of the project up in the air. “Until we know how much we have we are not quite certain how much we can build,” Clarke said.

EMC news - The fix to stop overcrowding in downtownarea schools still has a number of hurdles to clear before students can settle in to a new addition to Mutchmor Public School in 2014. Parents from First Avenue and Mutchmor public schools attended an information session presented by the Ottawa public school board at Mutchmor on Jan. 24. The option to deal with overcrowding in downtown schools, commonly known as the “switch,” was first discussed in 2011. The “switch” would swap programs and school populations between the two Glebe public schools and add 11 classrooms to Mutchmor. The proposal turned out to be the preferred option among parents and was approved in December 2011. At the time, the goal was to make the move for September 2013. The new proposed timeline is September 2014 and according to the board’s facilities superintendent Michael Clarke, that is a tight timeline. “The good news is the ministry has approved the project, but there are a number of approv-

to address the overcrowding, but to what scale, Clarke said, is something that still needs to be addressed. Clarke added the additional $700,000 still needs to be approved by the ministry. Clarke gave an update on the plan to expand the school to address overcrowding occurring in the downtown area at the meeting and Barry J. Hobin and Associates Architects Inc, the firm designing the expansion, presented the preliminary drawings for the addition. A heritage-designated building, Barry Hobin said the firm would have to have the city’s heritage committee approve the project. The exact cost and amount of funding the board will receive for the project are still uncertain, while the approval of the design of the building must be passed by planning committee and city council. Both these issues are what stand in the way of the project being ready for students in the fall of 2014. “The time is tight, we will need some cooperation, particularly with the city of Ottawa,” Hobin said. One parent asked if there was a contingency plan, if the school board could not meet its current timeline.

expansion, the current number of parking spaces at the school will be 17, but the expanded building will need 43 to address the increase in staff. Those remaining 26 parking spaces would need to be offsite, but close to the school. Proposals for the parking spaces are being looked at, but Clarke said that plan will be subject to its own public consultation. Options for parking spaces include cutting into the play area at a board-owned park across the street in or imposing on street parking in the area. The Glebe Community Association president Lynn Barlow attended the meeting, as potential for parking to consume a portion of the play area was raised at a meeting on Jan. 22. Barlow said the association is interested in participating in the consultation process and

will be writing a letter with some suggestions of alternative options. “There is a need for parking at the school. The question is how can that be addressed? One way would certainly be to put parking on the play yard, but there are other options, such as the new parking garage or parking on the street,” Clarke said. “The other thing we have to keep in consideration is after the expansion there will be more students using the play yard across the street.” The play yard is used by both Mutchmor students and Corpus Christi School, a school directly across from Mutchmor. The expansion will be a total of 789 square metres and construction will take about 11 to 14 months. Comments and suggestions can be sent to Clarke at facilities@ocdsb.ca.

Clarke could not give a definitive answer. “As we move through the process we will have a better idea,” he said. The move would introduce middle French immersion program at First Avenue, allowing Mutchmor to offer junior kindergarten-Grade 6 early French immersion. First Avenue, meanwhile, would offer junior kindergarten-Grade 6 English and gifted programming. The two-storey expansion is planned for the west-side of the building, with the main entrance to the building facing Fifth Avenue. To respect the heritage character of the building, the new addition will be a glass and brick structure, attaching to the existing building. Clarke said once the expansion is built, there will be a parking issue which will also need to be dealt with. After the

Carrying wintry thoughts, fears to bed

W

hen winter had socked in around us out in Renfrew County, I developed a whole new collection of fears, which oddly only occurred at night. In the daytime, I loved the look of the wide-open fields deep in the whitest snow, the West Hill where we slid on makeshift toboggans, and the sounds of the sleigh bells as the horses pulled us along the Northcote Side Road. But when night wrapped around us and we were bedded down upstairs, childish fears settled in, and I often had trouble finding sleep. I wondered if either of Mother’s predictions would come true while we were fast asleep in our beds. Mother, fearful of the raging Findlay Oval that had to be stoked every night by Father, was sure that the whole house would go up in flames and we would all be, as she said “fried in our beds.” She based her fear on the fact that during the winter, we could count on at least two or three flue fires. These didn’t seem to bother Father in the least. When the pipes turned red, he would simply take his time rising from his spot in the rocking chair, casually walk over to the bake cupboard, take out a bag of coarse salt, pour a good portion into a soup bowl and

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories with his winter mitts on he would miraculously separate the stove pipe where two pieces joined, slip in the bowl of salt and go back to reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. It worked every time, but Mother was sure that one time it wouldn’t or that the flue fire would happen when we were fast asleep. Father assured her that as the night wore on, the fire would go down in the Findlay Oval. But that did little to put Mother’s mind at ease and of course I carried the fear right upstairs to my bed, which I shared with my sister Audrey. If Mother wasn’t worrying about the fire taking us all during the night, she was worried that we could easily freeze in our beds. The old log home, it seemed, was in a constant state of deep freeze. Even though Father, when the snow had come to stay, packed snow all around the foundation of the house, supposedly to keep out the drafts, it did little. Even the many braided rugs Mother put everywhere

she could, including ones rolled up and put along the outside doors, we couldn’t keep out the cold night air. When we sat around the kitchen table at night, each of us had our own cushion to rest our feet on, and crudely-made felt slippers and heavy socks helped little. However, the cold in the kitchen was nothing compared to the cold upstairs. There was no insulation in the peaked ceiling and all winter, hoar frost appeared all along the boards. As soon as your feet hit the top step, day or night, you could see your breath. Even the contents of the chamber pot under our bed would be frozen in the morning. Mother tried to warm our beds before we plunged between the feather mattress and the top ticking, by putting in hot bricks wrapped in The Renfrew Mercury, but they soon chilled and did nothing to keep our feet warm. But it was the night noises of winter that really terrified me. Wildlife surrounded the

farm. Wolves howled at night and their eerie wails terrified me. I prayed that Father had secured the barn doors tightly, and that our sheep would be safe. If it wasn’t the wolves it was the coyotes, which my brother Emerson said were one and the same as the wolves. He added to my worry by telling me he knew for a fact that they could wipe out a whole chicken coop in one night. And just as I tried to put all my night fears behind me, there would be a thunderous crack. The old log house would shudder, and I would lay there waiting for another blast of frost that would cause the timbers to respond to the bitter cold. Even my sister Audrey assuring me that the noise wasn’t someone trying to break down our door did little to console me. Eventually I would fall asleep, having prayed loud and long that a higher being would keep us safe during the night; safe from going up in smoke in our beds, safe from neighbours discovering our frozen bodies when we didn’t show up at Northcote School, and safe from the night creatures and sounds that surrounded our old log house in Renfrew County. In the morning, I would again see the wonders of winter, and all would once again be right in my world.

School launches fundraiser for family in need Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A few weeks ago, four-year-old Mae Doull Hoffman stood in front of all her fellow Manor Park Public School students and told them about her sister, Phoebe. Phoebe is very sick, she explained to her schoolmates who in turn did something the school administration is very proud of. They started a fundraiser to help Phoebe, Mae and her parents through their difficult time. “At Manor Park School, we strive to support each student whatever way possible,” said Shari Brodie, the school’s principal. “For big sister Mae, that support starts with helping to make sure Phoebe Rose is healthy.” In just two weeks, the students and parents at Manor Park Public School have raised more than $3,500 for the family. Mae’s sister, Phoebe Rose Doull-Hoffman, was diagnosed in October 2010 with a rare form of infant leukemia, infantile acute lymphoblastic leukemia, at nine weeks old. Her treatment so far has consisted of six months of chemotherapy and two bone marrow transplants. In December, Phoebe relapsed and is currently being treated as an out patient at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. For the past two years, Phoebe’s parents, Jenny DoullHoffman and Jon Hoffman stopped working in order to be there for their daughter. With money tight, the family admits it has been a struggle. “We are truly overwhelmed by the generosity of Manor Park Public School and the entire Ottawa community,” said Doull-Hoffman. “Without this kind of support, I don’t know how we would be able to continue to seek treatment for Phoebe.” Teachers Sarah Horton and Donna Muldoon are working together for the fundraising initiative. “When we heard what was going on, we thought we needed to do something,” Horton said. Muldoon is Mae’s junior kindergarten teacher. When Mae stood in front of the entire student body to tell her schoolmates about her sister, Muldoon said she was very proud of her young student. “It was very emotional,” Muldoon said. “It was a very brave thing to do.” The fundraising initiatives have even grown beyond the school walls with students, parents and teachers raising money for the family in the community too. To help this along, Brodie created fundraising tins that have been placed in businesses and community centres in the area. There currently is no goal

for the fundraising effort, but Muldoon said they will stop when they think the family has enough to get by. “We try to help all the kids at Manor Park,” Muldoon said. “For this, it boils down to sharing in Mae’s family’s hope and giving them courage.” Doull-Hoffman said the support her family has received from the community has been amazing. “We are very blessed to have this support and such a wonderful and caring community. It has always helped me to know that many people are thinking of Phoebe and praying for her cure,” she said. “This support has really helped to hold us up on the most difficult days.” OPTIONS

Infantile acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a form of leukemia where immature white blood cells multiply and attack the bone marrow. In Canada, infant leukemia is diagnosed two to three times a year. Since being diagnosed, Phoebe has relapsed twice and over the course of her young life, the two-year-old has participated in two clinical trials with one resulting in a year of remission, before relapsing this past December. Currently, her parents are waiting to hear if she will be accepted into another clinical trial taking place in Philadelphia. The diagnosis has been hard on the family, but Phoebe’s mother said it has also brought their family closer. “We have spent a lot of time in the hospital and away from home, but have made this work,” Doull-Hoffman said. “We have traveled for treatment to Toronto and to Memphis and have made a point of staying together at all times. ... This situation has also allowed us a closeness that we wouldn’t have had otherwise, although I would trade this for a healthy child, it has brought us together as a family and allowed us (watch our girls grow up.”

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Mae Doull-Hoffman is in junior kindergarten at Manor Park Public School. In the past two weeks the school has raised $3,500 to help Mae’s family. Mae’s little sister has infantile acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the money raised by the school will help the family with the daily medical expenses associated with Phoebe’s care.

MORE FUNDRAISING

Doull-Hoffman’s sister, Kirsten Doull, has been leading the charge in the community to help raise money for the family. At the beginning of the year, Doull held a bottle drive, where Overbrook residents donated their empty liquor and beer bottles. On Feb. 24 the Ottawa Art Gallery’s rental and sales gallery will host an art auction in support of Phoebe and her family. The school will be hosting a garage sale on Feb. 2 to help boost its total fundraising amount. Gently used children’s toys and books are being accepted at the school for the sale.

Help is on the way for young fentanyl addicts Royal Ottawa partners with agencies from Renfrew to Hawksbury to deliver program emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - A growing drug problem in the region has prompted the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre to develop an early intervention service for youth addicted to painkillers. The outpatient service was launched in early January and was discussed in detail on Jan. 21 at a public meeting in Manotick, where Ottawa’s fentanyl abuse problem first became apparent last summer. Fentanyl is a strong prescription opioid used to treat chronic pain, and comes in the form of patches which are worn on the skin. It is becoming an experimental drug of choice for many youth in the area, but unlike drugs like marijuana and alcohol, it is highly addictive even after just one use. This has left otherwise good kids hooked on the patch and committing crimes to feed their habit. “It can happen to any kid,” said Beverly Clark, a former Manotick resident whose son was one of several students kicked out of St. Mark Catholic High School because of his fentanyl addiction. “They don’t have to be bad kids.” Last August, the problem became painfully apparent when Tyler Campbell, a 17year-old Manotick student, overdosed and died. Police began to connect a rash of break-ins to a small group of addicted teenagers and youths in the village. A town hall meeting was called in November to address the issue, which was widely publicized. Police have since identified other fentanyl hot spots across the city, including in Orleans, according to Ottawa police Staff Sgt. Kal Ghadban. Now, the Royal Ottawa has responded with the regional opioid intervention service in an effort to help youth and

early users get off the drugs quickly. Program developer Dr. Melanie Willows said more and more youth are admitting themselves to the hospital with opioid addictions, but the wait time for the hospital’s small detox unit is “unacceptably long.” “Thinking of someone who has only been using opioids for three months waiting another four to six months to get help didn’t make a lot of sense,” she told a crowd of about 50 people at the Jan. 21 meeting. The new intervention service is an outpatient program geared to youths under 30 and to people who have been using for fewer than five years. It currently operates from the Royal on Carling Avenue near Merivale Road, but the hospital has partnered with other hospitals, community health services, mental health and addiction agencies and primary care physicians across the region to make sure youth can continue to access counselling, treatment and support in their own community after the initial three-week detox program is complete. “The idea is we all share the care of the patient to offer the full spectrum of what can be provided to them,” said Dr. Kim Corace, who worked with Willows to develop the program. The program is unique, Corace said, because it focuses on “concurrent treatment” of the addiction as well as any mental health issues the patient might have. There is a high correlation between substance abuse and mental health issues, she said; between 40 and 70 per cent of all substance abusers suffer from a mental health issue, usually an anxiety or mood disorder like depression. Corace said the key to successfully kicking substance abuse is addressing the problems that contributed to it.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Dr. Melanie Willows, left, and Dr. Kim Corace have developed a Regional Opioid Intervention Service through the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. The outpatient program is geared to people under 30 who are addicted to painkillers such as fentanyl. “If you don’t address the underlying issues that come with the addiction, there’s more risk of a relapse because those reasons that led you to the addiction in the first place are still there,” Corace said. The service offers a threeweek detox period, during which the patient receives doses of an “opioid agonist” that allows the patient to taper off their addiction. The client will also build a treatment plan and have access to ongoing counselling. Every month, the service will host an orientation for addicts and families of addicts who want to get help. If the service is not right for a person, Willows said, the service will help point them in the right direction.

“We’re hoping this is going to mean no more knocking on the wrong door,” she said. The next orientation session will be held on Feb. 7 for families of youth struggling with an opioid addiction. Addictions counsellors will be available to discuss treatment privately with youth. Clark knows all too well what fentanyl addiction looks like. Her son was 17 when he tried the drug at a party and was hooked. In the middle of Grade 12, he was kicked out of St. Mark Catholic High School in Manotick and sent to rehab. Within three weeks, he was living at the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, receiving treatment for his fentanyl addiction.

Eighteen months later and with the help of the rehab centre, he’s clean – but it’s easy for her to imagine a relapse. “He is straight now but it’s a day-to-day deal,” said Clark. VALENTINE FOR LIVES

Clark has now organized a fundraiser for the treatment centre, which is one of the partners with the Royal’s new intervention service, and the only non-profit rehab centre in eastern Ontario. On Feb. 12, the Valentine for Lives murder mystery dinner will offer dinner and entertainment at the Lone Star ranch on Hunt Club Road in south Nepean. The Kemptville Players theatre group

will stage the murder mystery and Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod will speak about the drug issue. Tickets are $50 each. Clark said she is simply hoping to raise money for an organization that stood behind her when the rest of the community seemed to turn its back. “For my family, Dave Smith was a lifeline,” said Clark, who also received counselling there while her son was recovering. “I don’t know where I’d be without it.” For more information or to purchase tickets visit ottawapropertypros.com.

Community groups can use city-hall space for free Mayor announces councillors can pick one group a year to use Jean Pigott Place Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - As the Federation of Citizens Associations continues its push to gain access to free community space, they may have unwittingly won part of the battle. The ongoing issue was discussed during the federation’s board meeting on Jan. 22. The next day, Mayor Jim Watson fleshed out an idea to give one community group per ward access to free space in city hall once per year. Marjorie Shaver-Jones, a federation board member, said it’s a step in the right direction. “That’s quite wonderful for large events but we really need access to different kinds

of space,” Shaver-Jones said. She has been working on the issue and lobbying the city to provide free space in its facilities for community groups and associations to meet. “It’s not a very positive response from the city,” she told the board. The city did indicate to her that there are “specific situations” in which the city might reduce the fee for community groups to access the space. The issue emerged last October, when the federation was discussing the availability of access to the Overbrook Community Centre for a forum regarding the impact of the emerald ash borer on trees in Ottawa. That prompted the group to send a letter to the mayor to clarify the rules. While some community associations appear to have easier access to space because their members may help run a facility or their councillor is willing to sponsor the rental, other communities must pay a reduced rate, if they even have a city-owned facility in their areas. For some groups like Copeland Park Community Alli-

ance, the only available space is at churches, schools or members’ homes. The answer from the mayor’s office and the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, Dan Chenier, was that free access to city facilities can occasionally be provided if it relates to a project the group is working on directly with the city. “My opinion is everything we’re working on is something we’re working on with the city,” ShaverJones said, referring to the federation. “The city’s approach seems really geared towards stymieing community activity.” In an email statement sent through a city media relations officer, Chenier said rental fees for recreation and cultural facilities have not gone up since 2010 because it’s city council’s priority to keep access affordable. “A reasonable fee is charged to assist offset the cost of providing public access, maintenance and equipment for the spaces,” he added. The issue of free access to city-owned space came up again the day after the federation met. During Watson’s

residents to come and explore their city hall,” the mayor said. Jean Pigott Place – the main gathering space in the lobby of city hall – has hosted everything from gala dinners to holiday craft fairs. Watson said he has tried to make city hall more of a

“people place” in his first two years in office. With additions like the sports hall of fame, the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery and the Centretown community policing centre, as well as events held at city hall, 115,000 people came through the doors of 110 Laurier Ave. W. last year.

Arts, recycling and rural promotion on mayor’s mind Ottawa’s first-ever arts gala and rural expo planned for 2013 Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson wants to make the arts a focus for Ottawa in 2013. During his annual stateof-the-city address on Jan. 23, Watson announced he will lend his name to the first Mayor’s Gala for the Arts in November. The event will be a fundraiser for the future redevelopment of Arts Court, a gallery, theatre and studio space on Daly Avenue downtown. In conjunction with the fundraiser, the mayor announced he will also host a day-long arts fair at city hall. The event, which will stretch into the evening, will invite local artists and performers to promote their upcoming theatre and concert seasons and other arts initiatives. This year will also mark the

garbage cans simply because recycling is not widely available on public streets.” Watson also called for a new “public-awareness effort” to build on the success of community beautification initiatives like Cleaning the Capital. “Because the city cannot and should not do it alone,” Watson said. “Through renewed efforts, it is my hope that we will see cleaner streets and a renewed sense of civic pride amongst residents.”

Watson also said he wants to show off the city’s rural culture in 2013 by hosting the first rural expo. “The expo will … act as a way for our rural community to boast and show off their talents and products to a larger urban audience,” Watson said. “There is much to be proud of and celebrate in great places like Munster, Fitzroy Harbour, Carp, Navan, North Gower and Vars, just to name a few.” The event will be a chance for rural residents to promote fairs, museums, crafts and agriculture to the urban population, right in the core at city hall.

The mayor wants to see recycling bins accompany garbage bins on Ottawa streets. During his speech, Watson said he wants to work with the environment committee and

staff to come up with more options to provide recycling facilities on major streets throughout the city. “My view is if we put out garbage cans, we should be equally vigilant in ensuring they stand beside recycling receptacles,” he said. “It is a shame and wasteful to see so many recyclables thrown into

Whereas 2012 was about making big decisions, like moving ahead on construction of the city’s light-rail system and Lansdowne Park, 2013 will be about acting on those big plans, Watson said. “We will achieve our goals as we continue our collaborative approach during the coming year and for the rest of our term,” he said. In addition to large, citybuilding initiatives like LRT, construction will get underway on a new indoor pool

for Orleans, new recreational complexes in Kanata North and Barrhaven, the Sensplex east arena in Beacon Hill and more Ottawa on the Move road projects. Moving forward with the city’s action plan to clean up the Ottawa River is also a priority for the mayor. City council just received information that the price tag to complete the necessary work from 2009 to 2014 will cost $355 million dollars – $100 million more expensive than was originally projected. Watson reiterated that he wants the federal and provincial governments to help foot the bill. “Both ministers (John) Baird and (Bob) Chiarelli have stated publicly their support for this important initiative,” Watson said during his speech. “When the next round of infrastructure funding becomes available, I am hopeful that we will be able to secure funding from our federal and provincial partners and so that we can move forward with this key project.”

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

Capital Cup pride Four teams battle it out during the sixth-annual Capital Ward Cup hockey tournament at Windsor Park on Saturday, Jan. 26. The Old Ottawa East Hosers (green) take on the Heron Park Hackers (red) in the first game of the tournament with the Hosers winning 10-2. Each team played three games before Old Ottawa East and Old Ottawa South Moose went head to head in the final round with the Hosers winning 11-6.

OSU’s Abdou Samaké achieves dream in joining Montreal Impact academy When Abdou Samaké’s family moved to Montréal-Nord from Bamako, Mali when he was 5, they carried big dreams. When Samaké began playing soccer at age 9 in Ottawa, it was the start of a new dream. And now at age 16, the dream of becoming a professional soccer player is that much closer for the Ottawa South United star who just moved back to Montreal to join the Impact’s youth academy. It was a big moment when Samaké’s parents took him out to dinner in early November to tell him the big news they’d received in an e-mail from the MLS club. “When my meal came, they told me, ‘Oh, by the way, you made the Impact,’” Samaké recounts. “I had to go to the bathroom and put some water on my face to make sure it wasn’t a dream. I was very happy.” Samaké had previously attended open tryouts for the Impact academy, where he was suddenly thrust into a new role as defensive sweeper. “I was scared for my life,” reflects the bright Louis-Riel high school student who spent most of his career as a striker. “But I said, ‘You know what? If they put me there, it must be because they see something,’ so I played my best.” Samaké was thankful that the OSU Force Academy and his coach Russell Shaw had taught him some defensive skills as a midfielder since he joined the club prior to last season. “I like defensive mid a lot,” he highlights. “It’s more touches on the ball and you kind of control the game. You’re like a maestro. You’re coordinating everything in the middle, attacking and defending.” For Samaké, the attraction to the OSU Force Academy was a combination of the opportunity to play in the OYSL, the professionalism throughout the club, and the top-notch coaching available. Shaw and head coach Paul Harris ( former Everton FC Academy coach) were a big help, he adds. “They really brought me to the next level and helped me take that next step to the academy,” Samaké explains. “There’s a thin margin between being good and being good enough to enter a pro academy. I feel they really helped me step over that bar.” A big part of the U16 squad that held its own in a competitive OYSL division this past summer, Samaké counts many fond memories from his time with OSU. “I’m going to miss my club very much. I love my club, I love my school, and I love my mom,” Samaké emphasizes. “She used to drive me to every game, every training, and every day she’d ask me how soccer went. It’s going to be weird not having that home feeling. I guess I’ll have to mature a lot very quickly.” Samaké will be moving to the Impact’s training residence along with two other players who’d started training with OSU this winter before now also joining the Impact – YannAlexandre Fillion and Nevello Yoseke. Force 2000 player Tarik Jouali is also amongst the younger players invited to the next round of trials. “Not a lot of soccer players get the chance to go to a professional academy. It’s really a dream for me,” Samaké says. “My main goal would be to go pro. It’s a great opportunity, and I want to prove to them that I am the right player for them.”

Also included are cycling features as planned for the east-west bikeway project, including changes to the intersection at Cobourg Street to make it easier for westbound cyclists to cross St. Patrick and head south into Lowertown and onwards to the ByWard Market. At a consultation last October, the city presented two options for cycling facilities in the eastbound section of St. Patrick: keeping the â€œďŹ‚oat-

in the next few years, but if the city gets approved for provincial funding, construction would take place through the summer of 2014. Whether it gets fast-tracked because of provincial funding or not, the city has committed to getting the construction done through its Ottawa on the Move program. Fleury said there is no word on when the provincial government will announce which projects will receive funding. The funding program can provide up to 90 per cent of the cost of a project or $2 million, whichever is lower.

EMC news - The city has one chance to apply for provincial infrastructure funding and its pinning its hopes on St. Patrick Street. The problematic street has buckled pavement that requires frequent maintenance and it’s on the list for the city to resurface. After the Ontario government released details about its Municipal Infrastruc-

ture Investment Initiative last November, the city decided ďŹ xing St. Patrick was the top priority for funding. Each municipality has been told it can apply for one project only to be funded and it must be done before the end of 2014. Ottawa will apply for approximately one-third of the cost of construction: around $2 million. Not only is the four-lane road in disrepair, it is the identiďŹ ed route for an east-west

ingâ€? bike lane between trafďŹ c lanes or pushing the bike lane against the right curb and having cyclists cross the right turning lane back into main trafďŹ c ow. Details are still being worked out and the decision will depend on feedback from the public consultation. The road provides an important link between communities, Fleury said, and the construction would beneďŹ t drivers as well as cyclists and pedestrians. The city has already set aside $2.3 million for the work and construction was originally planned to be done

OLG slots staying at Rideau-Carleton for now Ontario lottery corporation will lease slots space at raceway Emma Jackson and Laura Mueller emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - Slot machines will stay at the Rideau-Carleton Raceway despite the province cancelling its Slots at the Raceway program. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation announced on Jan. 23 that it has reached agreements to lease space for its slot machines at eight of the sites that currently offer slots, including RideauCarleton. The expiry date of the lease agreement hasn’t been confirmed, but OLG spokesperson Tony Bitonti said the agreements average in length between three and five years. “(The agreements) do vary from racetrack to racetrack because we’re going into a landlord-tenant agreement, whereas before all the racetracks got 10 per cent of revenue and all the horse associations got 10 per cent,” Bitonti said. “It’s not a clean and dry formula like it was before.” Some racetracks operate their own food and beverage services, for example, while other don’t, Bitonti said. He would not confirm details of the agreements because the

parties have yet to sign final contracts. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said she believes the agreements are only meant to last until the OLG is able to act on its plan to build casinos in urban areas, including downtown Ottawa - effectively cannibalizing the racetrack. “While on the surface it seems OK, it’s just extending the inevitable,” MacLeod said. “Nobody should take any comfort in this. It’s only going to prolong the transition.” MacLeod has been vocal about saving the province’s racetracks since last March, when the provincial government announced it was cutting the Slots at Racetracks revenue sharing program as of March 31, 2013. “It doesn’t take away the fact that the OLG wants a downtown casino,” she said. “And the minute that happens the slots are ripped out of the racetrack.” Cancelling the Slots at the Racetracks program was intended to save $345 million, Ontario Liberals said, which could be better spent on health care and education. Ending the program is part of OLG’s gambling modernization plan

that would put gaming facilities in 23 urban centres across the province. Ottawa’s city council voted to support in principle the idea of putting a new casino in Ottawa. After OLG issues a request for developers interested in building and running a casino here, Ottawa residents will have a chance to comment on the plans. City council could veto a casino if it doesn’t like the proposed location. Bitonti said the RideauCarleton Raceway is fully able to take part in the OLG’s plan to bring a casino to Ottawa, and any decisions about where a new facility might be located would be decided between the private sector investor, the city and the OLG. “When we choose a private sector operator, they will take over the day to day operation of the existing facility and then decisions will have to be made,” Bitonti said. “In many cases the slots facilities, the gaming operations, will stay exactly where they are.” He recognized the OLG wants to locate its gaming facilities in populated areas, rather than rural regions. “We want to make sure our products are where the customers are, and in some cases where the racetracks are that’s not the case,” he said. “Some of them are in the perfect location.” Over the past five years, the

Consider a career as a:

more than $3 billion in capital investment across Ontario. In August, members from all three political parties supported a private member’s motion from MacLeod calling for the provincial auditor general to review the decision to scrap the program. The Rideau-Carleton Raceway could not be reached for comment by press time.

After nearly two years, the Westboro-based Canadian Ski Hall of Fame and Museum has found a new home at an expansive heritage building in the St. Jovite-Mont Tremblant region of western Quebec.

SUBMITTED

Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - The search for space is over. After announcing nearly two years ago that the Westboro-based Canadian Ski Hall of Fame and Museum was uprooting, staff have found an appropriate new home. It was announced on Jan. 17 that after a lengthy and painstaking vetting process, the hall of fame and museum will be relocating to an expansive heritage building in the St. Jovite-Mont Tremblant region of western Quebec. The facility is expected to be a major tourist draw in a region known as having some of the best skiing in eastern North America. Previously housed in the Trailhead building on Scott Street, the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame and Museum has existed in Ottawa since the early 1970s. Eventually, the expanding collection of artifacts contained within its walls became too large for the available space and in March, 2011, the facility’s board of

directors announced they would seek a new location. “It was hard to get walkthrough traffic and the parking wasn’t that great,” said director Chris Edgell, who spearheaded the search for a new location. The process included finding supportive groups and reaching out to the ski community. The facility’s board released a model illustrating the key points any offer would have to satisfy, such as a fundraising strategy, dedicated building space, available resources and expertise. “We had support from the U.S. Ski Hall of Fame in our brainstorming,” said Edgell. “After eight months we had identified five locations.” The St. Jovite-Mont Tremblant region was eventually selected as the winner, due in part to the overwhelming support from the local community. Edgell said the signed petitions that had circulated through the region were “persuasive” and led him to craft a motion calling for the selection of that proposal over two other “extremely competi-

tive” bids. Once the deal is finalized, the process of bringing artifacts out of storage will commence. The new home of the hall of fame and museum will be in one of the original structures in the region, which was settled for its impressive forests and pristine lakes and is now a hotbed of skiing, golf and year-round recreation. Chateau Beauvallon boasts 5,000 square feet of recently upgraded floor space and sits at an important crossroads in the region, just a couple of kilometres south of the ski resort. “They’re ready to start taking artifacts in something like three months,” said Edgell. “Then, they’ll take some time to set up and create exhibits.” Edgell said he was exhausted after the nearly two-year process, but is excited to see a new and improved hall of fame and museum take shape. He said he is certain the new facility will “be a great opportunity for ski museums across the country” through the sharing of skills and resources.

EMC sports - The city’s recreational hockey players can spend Hockey Day in Canada weekend playing the sport they love at the Bell Sensplex on Feb. 8 to 10. More than 900 players and 50 teams from across Ontario and Quebec are expected to participate in the 2013 Pat Curran Memorial Tournament, hosted by the Canadian Adult Recreational Hockey Association. “We run it in conjunction with Winterlude in the hopes that teams that are travelling into the city can participate in Winterlude activities,� said Lori Lopez, CARHA’s director of CARHA’s business operations. The 25-year-old tournament has been held at the Sensplex

since it opened in 2004, and is named after Curran, a former sportswriter with the Montreal Gazette who had helped the hockey association prepare articles for its quarterly publication the Hockey Post. Adult male and female hockey players of all skills and abilities will compete in the tournament, which has 19-, 35-, 40-, 50- and 60-plus age divisions. “It could be a team that’s just new to the sport or a team that has players who have played at the junior level. We seed them by age and caliber, said Lopez, adding that the tournament was created to bring opportunities for adult recreational hockey in the Ottawa area. Each team must pay a $900 registration fee, which guarantees three games and possibly a fourth if they make it to the

championship round. Most valuable player awards are presented after every game and the finalists in the championship games of each division are presented with shirts marked with the CARHA logo. The tournament will hold an NHL Night on Feb. 9 at Stanley’s Bar and Grill in the Sensplex, with a silent auction and 50/50 draw to raise money for KidSport Ottawa, a charity that helps children from the city’s low-income families participate in organized sports. “The Bud Girls are going to be there,� said Lopez, adding that Budweiser is one of the sponsors of this year’s tournament. For more information about the tournament or to register visit the website carhahockey. ca/chpatcurran or call 613244-1989.

The Ambassador of the Republic of Korea, Cho Hee-yong holds the official press release from 1963 which announced the start of diplomatic relations between Canada and the Republic of Korea. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice and the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and Korea. The ambassador said he is looking forward to the many events which will take place.

K-Pop, hansik make 2013 the year of Korea in Canada A wave of events commemorate Korea-Canada relations Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Ice sculptures, cultural delights, taekwondo, K-Pop and a quiz that could take the winner all the way across the Pacific are just a few of the activities the Korean Embassy has in store for Canadians this year. This year marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and the Republic of Korea and it’s the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. To commemorate those events, a number of activities will take place throughout the year in both countries. In Canada, the Korean Embassy will host multiple activities at its diplomatic missions in Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver along with online opportunities to participate. “This year is a very special year,� Ambassador Cho Heeyong said. “Since the war, we are indebted to our international community, including Canada.� In Ottawa, the celebration will begin alongside the city’s annual winter festival, Winterlude.

“We would like to have many activities to deliver our gratitude.� Hee-yong said. To commemorate the Year of Korea in Canada, activities include posts throughout the year by 50 bloggers at www. korcan50years.com. Posts will take a closer look at Korea-Canada relations, Korean food, interviews with KoreanCanadians and stories about Korean businesses, products, culture, society and the Korean pop culture phenomenon known as K-Pop. Other events include a lecture series, where the ambassador will visit universities in Ontario and Alberta, taekwondo demonstrations, a quiz on Korea where the final round competition will be in Korea and a special exhibition on the Korean War at the Canadian War Museum. The events will kickoff with Winterlude where Ottawans will have a chance to see a tribute to the sacrifices of the Korean War carved in ice. The ambassador has been in office since July 2012. During this time he has been busy working to strengthen Canada-Korea relations. The ambassador says relations are strong, but that there is always room for improvement. One area such area, Hee-yong said, would be completing a Canada-Korea free trade agreement. “It’s a very important time,� Hee-yong said. “It will be better for both of us.� Whenever he hosts delegates, the ambassador said

he always serves Canadian beef and pork, to encourage more trade between the two countries. “I am in your Canadian boat,� he said, adding he is confident both sides will come to a mutual agreement soon. Hee-yong said the exchange of youth - coming and going from both countries proves Canada and Korea will always have this strong relationship, citing the multiple Korean businesses opening offices in this country and the large number of Korean youth studying here, as well as Canadian youth flocking to Korea for teaching experience. “Seoul is a good place for youngsters to enjoy and cultivate their careers,� he said. And the ambassador said he believes the celebrations will help highlight Korea and Canada’s 50-year-old friendship. “I want to remind everyone what we have made over the last six decades and for years to come,� Hee-yong said. The ambassador said he is looking forward to Winterlude and may even lace up his skates - although he admits the last time he went for a skate was when he was in high school. The Winterlude activities start on Feb. 2 with a K-Pop Night, a Korean pop culture event at Ottawa city hall, while the ice sculptures will be unveiled on Feb. 7. A Korea-Canada ice hockey game will also take place at the Rideau Canal on Feb. 10.

Presland Road developer faces tree-removal fines Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - An Ottawa developer is facing a fine of at least $5,000 after the company illegally cut down trees on its Presland Road property. The city is taking Groupe Lépine to court over unauthorized destruction of trees that took place on Dec. 20, 2012, city planner Bliss Edwards said during a community meeting in Overbrook on Jan. 23. “We take this very seriously,” Edwards said. “This can’t continue.” Most of the trees were planned to be removed anyways to make way for a 15storey apartment complex at the corner of the Vanier Parkway, but Groupe Lépine had not applied or received the required permits. The set fine for the bylaw charge ranges from $5,000 to $100,000, Edwards said. The city has a strong case because a city forester documented and photographed all trees on the site before any work began. The tree cutting occurred around the time that the institutional building on the site – a former convent – was being demolished. During a discussion about the unauthorized tree removal on the site, Edwards said she witnessed the unauthorized partial de-

molition of a home that also occupies the property. While the city hadn’t issued a demolition permit for the house, Groupe Lépine won’t be charged the $100 fine for that because the home’s address was mistakenly included on the demolition paperwork for the neighbouring institutional building, Edwards said. SITE PLAN

Edwards informed residents about Groupe Lépine’s December activities during a community meeting to update neighbours about the development’s site plan. While there haven’t been significant changes to the 298unit building’s design, there are still a number of outstanding site-plan issues, Edwards said. They include the need for Groupe Lépine to provide a walkway plan for how people will be able to walk around the grounds of the building and its courtyard to connect to nearby paths, as well as a lighting plan. Another unresolved issue is whether new residents who move into the townhousestyle units fronting on Presland Road would be able to access their units through a front door. That’s absolutely essential to the city, Edwards said, but

Groupe Lépine will be charged under a city bylaw for unauthorized removal of trees on its 127 Presland Rd. site. Groupe Lépine’s latest plans showed a brick wall around the structure that would force residents to enter through the main entrance. Having front doors provides “eyes on the street” for safety and helps integrate larger developments into the fabric of the street, Edwards said. RESIDENT CONCERNS

Allison Good, a landscape architect who serves on the Overbrook Community Asso-

ciation’s planning committee, said she was very concerned that the stalls in the two-storey underground parking garage look extremely tight. Good, who has professional experience with development applications, said the plans look like they won’t be able to accommodate the full amount of parking required because some of the spaces as currently drawn wouldn’t provide a large enough turning space to get in and out. Several residents at the

meeting hoped that construction vehicles would enter from a dedicated entrance to the building off the Vanier Parkway. Presland is closed off to vehicle access from the parkway and residents said they would rather the trucks turned off the parkway than lumber down Presland. Edwards said she would look into it, but cautioned that it might be impossible if the National Capital Commission doesn’t agree to let trucks use the Vanier Parkway.

Edwards noted that a formal street closure application has been submitted to ensure the eastern section of Presland is never re-opened to the Vanier Parkway. Residents also asked Edwards to encourage Groupe Lépine to consider green roofs and other water-permeable materials for the building to reduce issues with rain runoff. The area, a former swamp, has poor drainage and a high water table.

Plan for downtown streets needs to move into action: experts Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Ken Greenberg, author and former head of urban design and architecture for the City of Toronto, tells a crowd at city hall on Jan. 17 that Ottawa’s Downtown Moves plan is a ‘response to social and economic change that is driving how society is evolving.’

EMC news - The city is making the right moves when it comes to redesigning downtown streets for the future, but the plan needs action, says one prominent urban thinker. Ken Greenberg spoke to a crowd of almost 100 people who came to city hall on Jan. 17 to learn more about the city’s new Downtown Moves strategy to rethink transportation in the core after the city’s light-rail system is built. The final version of the Downtown Moves plan will be presented to the city’s planning committee for approval in early March. The draft document is available on the city’s website, ottawa.ca, and outlines a way to design streets that meet the needs of all users – pedestrians, cyclists, buses and private vehicles – with an emphasis on active transportation. For instance, one of the key points is the need for an interprovincial cycling route over the Portage Bridge. “You are doing what progressive cities are doing all across the continent and around the world,” said Greenberg, a writer and former director of urban design and architecture for the City of Toronto. He said “demotorization” is a common trend in wealthy countries across the globe. “The new American dream is living and working in a place where you don’t have to get into a car to get groceries,” Greenberg said. “The big challenge is how to summon the will to actually make the transition,” he said.

“It starts with the acknowledgement that I think you’ve already made that the existing streets are inhospitable and in some cases unsafe for all users.” Greenberg said the Downtown Moves guidelines are good, but the city must take it a step further and engineer functional designs for all 10 kilometres of streets in the study area. “Give yourself a blueprint for what the whole plan should be and get that adopted by your council, so that it’s not just guidelines, it’s not just a toolkit – it’s a plan,” he said. Key to that is ensuring city departments, such as planning and engineering, must work together. “To be avoided at all costs are different departments reporting to different committees of council with a different understanding of what the city is trying to do,” Greenberg said. Nelson Edwards, the city staffer in charge of Downtown Moves, said Greenberg’s advice gave him something to think about. “I think Ken’s points are really, really interesting and I think there are elements of that already in the works,” Edwards said. He said city staff have no intention of “resting easy” after Downtown Moves is approved. “We’ve got to find a way to implement it,” Edwards said, adding that Greenberg’s opinions have a lot of influence in the process and will certainly be reflected in the final staff report that accompanies the plan when it goes to the plan-

ning committee. Edwards has been talking to senior management about that issue. “I think they have some really cool ideas that capture a lot of what Ken was saying,” Edwards said. Greenberg wasn’t the only person calling for action. Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes is a proponent of the plan and said she doesn’t want to see it sit on the shelf like many of the city’s other plans that have good intentions. “I think the ideas are great. … We certainly do need to make the downtown more pedestrian friendly and more attractive,” she said. “All we need is the money. “I think having the light rail on Queen Street will necessitate some wider sidewalks, so that will help,” Holmes said. It will be important to get small parts of the plan done to show people what a rebuilt “Downtown Moves” street will look like, Holmes said. The emphasis on walkability was a boon to Holmes, who instigated the formation of a pedestrian advocacy group, Walk Ottawa, last year. “I think it’s the first time I’ve seen level of service for pedestrians taken seriously,” she said. The Jan. 17 event included an open house format session at the start followed by a series of speakers who worked on or reviewed the plan. Ron Clarke of DelCan, who helped work on the plan, called it the “most transformative opportunity we have for our downtown.” Amanda O’Rourke, a planning consultant from 8-80 Cities, said Downtown Moves is unique because it challenges the status quo and engages a wide variety of people, many of whom don’t normally participate in city-planning initiatives. Lowertown resident Bruce Warnock fits that description. He was one of several people at the open house who made the same comment: where is the implementation plan? “It’s a good thing and they have to start somewhere, but the thing that really strikes me is that it looks like a lot of studying and planning and not a lot of real implementation. Greenberg said testing out things like the segregated bicycle lane on Laurier Avenue is a good way to build support for the initiatives outlined in Downtown Moves. “Take what you learn from those pilots and those innovations and make it the new normal,” Greenberg said.

This period does not include day of entry, Sundays or holidays. The holding time gives the owner several days to claim their lost pet and gives staff time to try to ďŹ nd the animal’s owner. A stray pet becomes the property of the Ottawa Humane Society if its owner does not claim it within the holding period. It will be temperament tested and health-checked to assess its suitability for adoption. If the animal is healthy and friendly, then it is made available for adoption at the end of the holding period. You can ask shelter staff to give you the stray animal’s shelter number, and you can call or email to inquire about the animal’s status. If you are interested in adopting the animal, you will need to ďŹ ll out an adoption questionnaire in order to determine if your family is a good match for the animal. While you may want to keep the stray animal you have found, the owner may be searching for their lost pet! Don’t assume that just because you haven’t seen a “lostâ€? poster, the owner isn’t looking for their pet. The animal may have been missing for a long time, or it may be a long way from home. It is your legal responsibility to take all reasonable steps to ďŹ nd the animal’s owner.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

My name is Rosie. I’m a purebred schnauzer and I was born on Valentine’s Day almost 8 years ago. I like to play fetch with my favorite “mouse� and play tug of war with it too. In summer I like to sit in the back yard and say hi (bark) to all the neighbors as they jog by the path in the back. In winter my favorite thing to do is go for an off-leash walk at Conroy Pit and then come home and sit in front of the fireplace until I start panting and have to be told to move away from the heat of the fireplace to drink some water. My favorite food is raw broccoli, especially the stalks because they are nice and crunchy. Snow peas are nice too. And I like to bury my large kibble treats among the couch cushions in the living room but my parents don’t like me to.

Have you ever noticed a frightened looking cat or dog wandering around a neighbourhood or hanging around your home? Many people ďŹ nd themselves in similar situations and don’t know what to do. What’s the best way to help that animal? First, assess the situation. Does the animal seem injured? If so, call the Ottawa Humane Society emergency line at 613-725-1532. However, if the animal doesn’t appear to be in immediate distress, you can deliver the animal to the City of Ottawa Municipal Animal Shelter, which is run by and located at the Ottawa Humane Society. If the animal is a dog, you can contact the city’s bylaw department to have the dog picked up. The Municipal Animal Shelter, or MAS, is run by the Ottawa Humane Society on behalf of the City of Ottawa. The MAS cares for injured, lost and homeless animals brought in by City of Ottawa Bylaw OfďŹ cers or the general public, or picked up in cases of injury or emergency by the Ottawa Humane Society’s Rescue and Investigation Services. While they are at the MAS, the Lost and Found Department works hard to reunite each lost pet with its owner. Each year, the MAS cares for thousands of stray animals. When you bring an animal to the MAS, you will need to provide information about where and when you found the animal. The staff will then check the animal for identiďŹ cation (microchip,
