Cash for LRT south extension, airport link applauded Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The provincial government’s commitment to fund one-third of the $3-billion second phase of the city’s light-rail rapid transit system was met with vigorous applause in the south end of the city.

The $1.16-billion contribution will help extend the Trillium O-Train line eight kilometres from Greenboro Station to Bowesville Station near Riverside South and lines east to Place D’Orléans, west to Bayshore and southwest to Baseline.

Ontario expands free dental care for children Children from low-income families can access free preventive, routine, emergency and essential care from licensed dental providers. Ontario has integrated six publicly funded dental programs into one, providing a simplified enrolment process and making it easier for eligible children to get the care they need.

Staff

More than 323,000 children from low-income families are getting free dental care through the new Healthy Smiles Ontario program.

Under the expanded program, Ontario is providing free dental care to help families raise healthier kids.

These changes mean that 70,000 more children from low-income families have become eligible for dental services.

Applicants can now sign up for this program at ontario.ca/healthysmiles. They can also contact their local public health unit for information and support.

There was barely a pause between the close to the CHEO telethon, capping off another recordbreaking year, and the kickoff to another year of fundraising.

One June 6, the day after the televised event, Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive of the CHEO Foundation, joined a group at the Stittsville Walmart on Fernbank Road for the 9 a.m. launch of the store’s CHEO fundraising campaign.

“For us that’s great because the community continues to get larger and as the community gets larger there’s more and more kids that need to come to CHEO,” Keohane said.

That translates into higher costs to provide those medical services “They make the difference between CHEO being able to provide great care and providing exceptional care,” Keohane said.

Campaigns and events, big and small, make all the difference, as they did this year, generating $8,013,771 through the CHEO Telethon. That was up from last year’s record of $7.94 million. In 2014, the telethon brought in $7.1 million.

The success of the 24-hour event is not the hospital’s alone, nor that of the CHEO Foundation, which organized the telethon.

“This is absolutely a community success story,” Keohane said the day after the final amount was revealed at the EY Centre, where the 33rd telethon was broadcast live on CTV June 4-5.

In the lead up to the big reveal on June 5, many of the approximately 80 phones at the centre were ringing off the hook as people called to

open their wallets and share their own personal stories with some of the 1,000 telethon volunteers.

Proceeds raised will help CHEO pay for specialized medical equipment, such as a digital mobile x-ray unit and kidney dialysis machines, as well as support cancer, youth mental health and childhood obesity research and help offset the cost of staff training.

It’s difficult to find someone who doesn’t have a connection to CHEO in some way, or who doesn’t know someone whose life has been touched by the hospital, said Keohane.

While much of the funds raised were only revealed during the televised event, a lot of the dollars were generated over the past year.

“It’s a demonstration to the community of what so many people are doing,” Keohane said of the telethon, which serves to inspire others to also contribute.

The telethon was a celebration from beginning to end, and gave foundation and hospital staff the opportunity to publicly thank donors, whether they’re children who handed over their piggy banks or large corporations donating hundreds of thousands of dollars.

For instance, Elka Harder of Stittsville came up with the unique idea of buying topsoil and offering it to her neighbours in exchange for CHEO donations.

“We celebrated it,” Keohane said. “She raised $600. She said she had neighbours coming up to her and hugging her, saying ‘Thank you, CHEO is important to me.’ To me, that is the essence of what community fundraising and grassroots fundraising is all about.”

Donations can still be made to CHEO by going online to cheofoundation.com.

South stakeholders confident feds will step up with LRT cash Continued from page 1

The province will also cover 50 per cent of the cost to finance the $160-million extension to Trim Road in Orléans and the $155-million three-kilometre LRT link to the Ottawa International Airport.

“It brings certainty on timing,” Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, said after taking part in Premier Kathleen Wynne’s funding announcement in Orléans on June 3.

“Most international airports are getting connected to their downtown core by a modern mass transit system, which includes light rail, and so Ottawa will be part of that great club,” he told Metroland Media.

Stations at the airport and the EY Centre will allow rail commuters to also access nearby hotels, businesses and federal government departments, said Laroche.

There was no question the airport rail spur had to be included as part of Stage 2 of LRT. “I didn’t believe there would be a link at the airport unless it was done at the same time as the extension,” Laroche said.

River Coun. Riley Brockington said constructing the spur within a later phase wouldn’t have made sense.

“The cost projections for doing that were through the roof,” he said. “If you’re going to invest the effort and the funds to extend the southern O-Train line now, you might as well do it now.”

Ottawa South MPP John Fraser said there is no question the city is challenged by a congested Airport Parkway, which further adds to the value of the Trillium extension and the airport rail link.

tor that’s only going to continue to grow.”

About 5,000 full-time equivalent employees work at the airport, said Laroche, and “there’s an appeal for them to use (the link) to get to their jobs.”

Rail service in proximity to the EY Centre would also be a benefit during large events, such as Ottawa Comiccon.

“That will also draw some people off the Airport Parkway, for example,” Laroche said.

That would also be good news for Alta Vista residents, said CITY OF OTTAWA Cloutier, adding that the new ser- A City of Ottawa map outlines the future route of the southbound vice will help attract more riders. extension of the Trillium O-Train light-rail line. The province recently “It helps my residents, in that announced it will fund 50 per cent of the airport spur. it makes transit more attractive for them and lower traffic in my ward,” he said.

The positive domino effect will be felt in Osgoode Ward where residents will benefit by being able to catch the train at Bowesville, said Osgoode Coun. George Darouze.

“With this announcement, it’s going to help a lot of south-end residents, to give them different options and then we’ll have less cars on the road, and make sure the transit is serving the south-end communities,” Darouze said.

“If more people start taking the bus and transit in the south end, it will relieve pressure on the roadways,” he said, noting heavy commuter traffic on Albion Road.

In Capital Ward, the area councillor said the airport spur will add to the allure of light rail.

“I think that’s very important for the capital arrival experience that we want to create.”

ALTA VISTA COUN. JEAN CLOUTIER

“The Airport Parkway is not exactly the most appealing destination when tourists come to Ottawa,” said Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, noting the airport link will serve as a good first impression for arriving visitors.

Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier said the extension and the airport link will boost the city’s appeal and image.

“I think that’s very important for the capital arrival experience that we want to create, as we want to grow tourism in this city,” he said.

The goal, said Qaqish, will be ensuring commuters using the extended Trillium line won’t be impacted by the airport train schedule.

The final piece of the puzzle needed before construction can begin on the Trillium line in 2018 and wrap up in 2023, will be securing $1 billion for the second phase of Ottawa’s LRT system from the federal government, as well as the remaining dollars needed to fund the Trim Road and airport extensions.

“I feel confident that they will match the provincial contribution, which secures the financing,” Laroche said.

Ottawa South MP David McGuinty did not respond to repeated interview requests before press time.

Laroche has said the airport authority would fund the construction of the estimated $35-million airport LRT station.

In addition to providing a convenient rail service for riders travelling between the airport and downtown, Fraser noted that “the airport is a large employment sec-

Ontario commits $1B to second phase of LRT Trim Road and airport extensions included in funding Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

The provincial government has committed to funding Phase 2 of Ottawa’s light rail, including extensions to Trim Road and the airport.

Premier Kathleen Wynne was in Orléans at the Shenkman Arts Centre on June 3 to make the $1 billion funding announcement.

The province will provide a third of the funding necessary to complete Phase 2 of the city’s LRT project, which includes extensions to Place d’Orléans, Bayshore, Baseline and Bowesville. The province will also pick up the

tab for half of the cost to extend the rail lines from Place d’Orléans to Trim Road, and a two-stop spur to the airport.

In 2014, when Wynne made a campaign stop in Ottawa, she committed to funding Phase 2 of light rail if elected.

“When I announced support … we had already supported Stage 1,” she said on June 3. “But it was just Stage 1. The real test is if we keep going, to keep building.”

Area councillors and Ottawa-Orléans MPP MarieFrance Lalonde have pushed to have light rail extended all the way to Trim Road at the

same time.

As well, the Ottawa International Airport has been pushing to have light rail transit extended out to the airport instead of stopping in the south end without a link to the airport.

Ontario’s Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca attended the June 3 funding announcement and said that Ottawa MPPs have “hunted me down at every opportunity” to lock down funding for Phase 2 of LRT. “This really is a game changer for Ottawa,” said Mayor Jim Watson, who was flanked by members of city council at the announce-

Premier Kathleen Wynne was in Orléans on June 3 to annouce $1 billion in funding for Phase 2 of Ottawa’s light rail transit project. ment. “We don’t put our shovels down in 2018.”

He said it didn’t make sense to stop digging once the necessary people and equipment are already in Ottawa working. It’s more cost effective to build more light rail all at once.

Once Phase 2 is built, it would put 70 per cent of Ottawa residents within five kilometres of light rail transit.

For Orléans, an extension to Trim Road would also make use of the existing park and ride at Trim Road instead of requiring all light

rail transit users to board at Place d’Orléans.

Stage 2 is scheduled to begin construction in 2018, with a 2023 opening date at this point.

Orléans MP Andrew Leslie campaigned on his commitment to extend light rail all the way to Trim Road, and now it’s up to the federal government to deliver a similar commitment.

“It’s my job now to replicate the success,” Leslie said of the provincial announcement.

“Between now and 2017,

the pressure’s on me — and I like pressure.”

In March, Leslie told Metroland Media that the federal Liberal budget was good news for light rail transit in Orléans and Ottawa.

The federal budget has $3.4 billion allocated to public transit infrastructure over the next three years through a new Public Transit Infrastructure Fund.

In the federal budget, it listed Ottawa’s LRT project as an example of the type of project that could receive such funding.

Plan for Airport Parkway widening clears another hurdle Residents call for halt to plan until light-rail extension in place Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Despite a number of residents who called for a halt to a multi-million dollar, multi-phase plan to widen the Airport Parkway, the city’s transportation committee approved the environmental assessment for the project on June 1.

If the funding can be secured, work on the first phase – widening the parkway from Brookfield to

Hunt Club roads – would start in 2020.

The first phase would include a Walkley Road off-ramp for a total cost of $31 million. The total cost of the project, which would have three phases, is $91 million.

The widening of Lester Road is also included in the environmental assessment, from the Airport Parkway to Bank Street.

Bryson Juno, a resident who spoke against the proj-

ect at the committee meeting, presented a petition with 175 signatures, asking for the widenong project to be halted.

Juno suggested building the Alta Vista Transpostation Corridor, or expanding the Trillium line as alternatives to the widening.

“Widening the road is old thinking and doesn’t solve congestion issues,” said Terry Woods, another resident who was against plan.

Transportation committee chairman Keith Egli said city staff consulted the public on the plan extensively.

“We are not a small town,” Egli said. “Transportation has to be about balance, there has to be options available – not just transit, not just cycling and not just cars.”

But councillors David Chernushenko and Catherine McKenney questioned going ahead with a plan in advance of the extension of the Trillium line south past the airport to Bowesville Road.

“I am not convinced we

need to widen roads, especially those roads that run beside a transit line,” McKenney said.

Chernushenko questioned staff about designing the road to accommodate peak levels.

“Designing the roads to peak levels means we don’t have the right kind of road the rest of the day,” he said, adding he can’t support the

environmental assessment because he doesn’t see a need to widen the entire road.

Krista Kealey, a representative from the Ottawa International Airport Authority, said the authority supports the plan, but would like to see tighter timelines on the subsequent phases of the widening.

Airport supports parkway plan Continued from page 5

Kealey said the parkway was never designed to be a commuter road, and that halting the widening at Hunt Club just means traffic will get jammed up on the one lane in either direction to Lester Road.

“The proposed widening will increase the safety and efficiency of the parkway,” Kealey said.

“Ours is the only airport serving the region, our success is the city’s success.”

Orléans Coun. Bob Monette said Ottawa’s chamber of commerce is in support of the widening project for the parkway because there are economic benefits that come to the city.

“I support it,” Monette said. “It’s people’s first impression of the city.”

If council as a whole approved the environmental assessment for the project on June 8, the city will still have to find the $91 million in funding to undertake the entire project.

Give a gal some help

T

he prime minister’s wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, has come under fire for suggesting that she is overwhelmed by requests for public appearances and requires more than a single staff person to help.

“The kind of statements we heard from the prime minister’s wife, you know, speak to that disconnect with the reality that Canadian women face,” said NDP MP Niki Ashton. “So if we’re going … to talk about women

feeling overwhelmed, let’s talk about everyday Canadian women feeling overwhelmed.”

Hey, I’m an everyday Canadian woman, a business owner and a mother of three. I’m often overwhelmed. It’s my state of being. I’d like some extra help, too.

Do I begrudge Grégoire Trudeau’s request for more help?

Not at all. I can barely handle my own emails most days and I guarantee I don’t get anywhere near the hundreds of equests

the prime minister’s wife must manage.

As an overwhelmed Canadian woman, I am fully in support of any prime minister’s wife representing Canada here and abroad as an ambassador for our country.

Grégoire Trudeau, in particular, is well-spoken and has been well received in many circles.

A single staff person is a small price to pay if it means the prime minister’s wife can better manage requests and potentially to participate more in her

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse non-official capacity.

But others don’t see the value. Conservative MP Candice Bergen suggested it was “hypocrisy” for the Trudeaus to ask for staff, seeing the request as further evidence of “vanity” and “self-promotion”.

Part of the problem is that the prime minister’s wife has no official role in Canada.

While it’s hoped, and expected by many, that

Grégoire Trudeau will travel across the country to speak at events or help raise money for charities, there is no office to help her tend to those duties in an official capacity.

But beneath this overt problem is the misogynistic viewpoint shared by many public critics – the idea that Grégoire Trudeau, as a woman, should manage a hectic public schedule from her

dining room table office while overseeing the household, children and other things domestic.

With her talent and potential to represent Canada and do public good, Grégoire Trudeau should neither be confined to domesticity nor should she be expected to do it all without the basic support staff required both at home and to augment her public appearances.

Parliamentarians should stop their bickering, set up an official office for Grégoire Trudeau, make her and staff accountable to Parliament for any spending.

The alternative, of course, is to appoint her to the senate.

AVIS DE DÉBUT Évaluation environnementale de portée générale Modernisation de la ligne de transport d'électricité d'Overbrook à Riverview

We are planning now to meet your future electricity needs

Nous planifions pour mieux répondre à vos futurs besoins en électricité

As Ottawa grows, so does the demand for electricity.

To ensure an adequate and reliable supply of power to central Ottawa, Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) is initiating a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to upgrade the existing 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line between Overbrook Transformer Station on Coventry Road and Balena Park in the Riverview neighbourhood.

À mesure que la ville d'Ottawa prend de l’expansion, ses besoins en électricité augmentent. Pour assurer un approvisionnement suffisant et fiable en électricité au centre d'Ottawa, Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) entreprend une évaluation environnementale de portée générale portant sur la modernisation de la ligne de transport d'électricité de 115 kilovolts (kV) entre le poste de transformation Overbrook sur le chemin Coventry et le parc Balena dans le quartier Riverview.

This project is one of the recommended near term actions identified in the Integrated Regional Resource Plan for the Ottawa area, developed by the Independent Electricity System Operator, Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One. The transmission line upgrade would involve the installation of an additional 115 kV transmission circuit on the existing right-of-way, which would require the existing transmission structures to be replaced.

Il s'agit de l'une des mesures recommandées par le Plan régional d’intégration des ressources pour la sousrégion d'Ottawa conçu par la Société indépendante d'exploitation du réseau d'électricité, Hydro Ottawa, et Hydro One. La modernisation de la ligne de transport d'électricité exigerait l'installation d'un circuit de transport additionnel de 115 kV sur l'emprise actuelle de même que le remplacement des structures de transport en place.

This project is being planned in accordance with the “Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities”, an approved planning process under Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA was developed as a streamlined process to ensure that minor transmission facility projects that have a predictable range of effects are planned and carried out in an environmentally acceptable manner.

La planification de ce projet est conforme au processus d'évaluation environnementale de portée générale visant les installations de transport d'électricité secondaires prévu par la Loi sur les évaluations environnementales de l'Ontario.

OPINION

Connected to your community

It’s good to think big for 150th birthday

I

t’ll be a big day when Canada turns 150.

And we should be thankful that the people in charge of the party are thinking big.

Subterranean sound and light shows are coming. The list of entertainment options keeps growing.

Announcements of new ideas continue week by week, month by month. The folks in charge are not holding back, and we’re lucky to live here in the capital, where the biggest party in the country will take place.

Last week saw the announcement of a massive entertainment idea: a giant dragon and a spider that will chill anyone with arachnophobia. The dragon even breathes fire.

The giant wildlife will turn some of Ottawa’s streets into art galleries. They’ll be very public galleries; easily accessible to all. That makes it a great idea.

Canada’s 150th birthday – to be celebrated throughout 2017 – needs to incorporate as many free events as possible. It’s a Canadian value to share.

It will take lots of tax money to put on the party, but we’ll all be able to enjoy the activities,

no matter who we are or where we come from.

Anyone who laments the tax spending should consider the organizing committee’s estimate that the party will boost tourism across Canada, all while generating jobs. As well, there are millions of dollars in private funding going towards the nation’s milestone birthday bash.

The committee estimates a large economic impact for the city, province and country, projecting it will have more than a $230 million impact on GDP and generate more than 3,000 jobs for the province.

The celebrations will stretch throughout 2017, and will take place in cities and towns, spreading the economic impact far and wide.

So far the signs from organizers here in Ottawa are promising. Parliament Hill and the streets of this city are excellent venues that ensure everyone can get a look at the shows, the dragons and any spiders on the prowl. “It will change the way people view Ottawa,� said Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme.

Ottawans should look forward to more announcements from the committee. The last task?

Someone will have to bake a VERY big cake.

Technology challenges everyday ethics

L

et’s count up the things the Internet has brought us since it began impacting our lives, roughly 20 years ago: Scams, online bullying, a vast increase in racist and insulting comments, pornography, hacking of personal, corporate and governmental websites, easier plagiarism, computer viruses, selfies, diminished incomes for writers and musicians, texting while driving, the death of independent bookstores, the impending death of privacy, the possible death of print journalism, and the near-death of attention spans.

That may not be a complete list.

But we can’t go back. Humans being humans, we never do. That would not be progress.

And the Internet has brought us positives as well, such as access to real information, assistance with

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town health and travel issues, the ability to communicate instantly with friends and family, baseball box scores at any hour of the night and instant answers to trivia questions, such as: who played Ernie and Bert in It’s a Wonderful Life?

For many, there is a balance between the pros and cons. After all, it is possible to stay away from many of the evils of the Internet.

Just don’t click on stuff. We can communicate with our cousins and decline to communicate with the guy offering to give us a million dollars.

Still, every once in a while comes an event that makes you wonder. This time it’s the grabbing of tickets for the Tragically Hip farewell tour. Many Canadians are fans of the band and are even more involved in this tour because of the incurable brain cancer of its lead singer, Gord Downie. They went through their usual Internet moves as soon as tickets went on sale, only to find that they had been scooped up by scalpers, who then offered them for exorbitant mark-up prices on reseller sites.

There has been public outrage, justified. This sort of thing has happened before, but the poignancy of this particular tour has intensified public anger.

There are demands for action.

People want government to do something. But government has tried. Scalping used to be illegal in

Ontario. There is a newer law that sort of discourages it but doesn’t quite abolish it, as we have seen.

How would a law work? Could it eliminate the powerful computer programs that instantly buy up huge blocs of tickets? Could it outlaw ticket resellers, which are now huge corporations? Could it avoid punishing individuals who have legitimate reasons, such as illness, for wanting to resell their tickets?

Could it deal with the front-ofthe-line programs that seem to put tickets into the hands of resellers?

Or does the answer lie elsewhere?

(No, not another public awareness campaign!) Could it lie in individuals declining to act like jerks or declining to help jerks? Such as: don’t buy the scalped tickets; let the scalpers eat the tickets they gobbled up..

Another answer is promoters using their power responsibly. When Ontario’s ticket reselling law was announced about a year ago, Mirvish Productions of Toronto, which EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[

sells more than one million theatre tickets a year, revealed that it does not allow ticket resales. Resold tickets are voided upon detection.

That seems both straight-forward and effective.

Given the state of public opinion, it’s in the self-interest of promoters to make sure fairness returns to the marketplace.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Connected to your community

Lack of financial knowledge is scary To the Editor: While opinion writer Brynna Leslie (Beyond the borrow and spend economy, May 26) belittles

the importance of financial literacy, she exemplifies it in her opinion piece. It is clear she has not sought any professional advice, nor did the

CBC Radio economics reporter she refers to. If they had, they might have learned some of the following basic financial principles.

She would have learned that you don’t “make some good money in interest.� Interest is a payment in return for borrowing your money and interest is normally a part of what is left over after the borrower has made a profit using your money. The source of wealth creation is ownership of the means of production, meaning businesses, companies, shares, or stocks. With financial literacy she certainly would not have labeled the source of all wealth as “junk.�

She could have learned how important it is to match the time horizon of an investment with a suitable investment type. Earning interest through a bank is suitable for short-term goals because there is little fluctuation, but is spectacularly unsuitable for longer term goals because of the inherently lower returns of fixed income investments, especially once inflation is subtracted.

She could have discussed how growth investments fluctuate, but with diversification and prudence the probability of a negative outcome

decreases exponentially with time. An advisor would have shown her how important it is to have patience and to understand the fluctuating nature of investment markets and coached her to avoid making mistakes of timing and selection.

With advice, she would have understood the difference between saving and investing, earning interest versus earning profits, and thus embraced the crucial incentive to save and invest — the pursuit of wealth accumulation and rational selfinterest.

If she was financially literate or rational enough to seek help from a financial advisor, the economics reporter Leslie refers to would have never dared advise her own daughter to “blow her pocket money on Cheezies.�

The state of financial education in our schools is nothing less than a travesty. Ask yourself the same question I do when I start a conversation about finance with someone I know little about: “in your primary, secondary, college and university educa-

tion, how many minutes of instruction were dedicated to the understanding of critical, real-world personal financial principles?� The usual answer is zero.

What percentage of high school graduates are not only expected, but required, by law to file annual income tax returns once they have their first job, which is usually before graduating from high school? One hundred per cent. What percentage of these graduates is even remotely familiar with the structure and principles behind income tax? The answer is scary, for all of society.

Leslie’s column is testament to the failure of our education system to prepare students for reality and the failure of our society to value financial education. Until such time as the subject is embraced (and even more so if it ever is), financial advisors provide an essential service to their clients and create enormous value in society.

ESL, arts and staff funding questioned at school board Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

The first public consultation meeting surrounding the public school board’s upcoming budget left board staff grappling with the questions and concerns of parents, teachers and trustees on May 30.

Among top concerns raised by delegates were the need for English as a second language funding and the importance of the extracurricular and creative arts program threatened by funding cuts. Protesters also gathered outside of the school board’s Greenbank Road office prior to the meeting to rally against proposed cuts to support staff positions.

The meeting was the first of several public consultations that will invite delegates to join the budget de-

bate before trustees vote on the budget on June 27.

Tasked with recovering $9.3-million in order to balance its next budget, staff recommended in a May 10 report that the board eliminate 47 administrative and support staff positions, in addition to the 38.8 academic staff cuts outlined in an earlier report.

The most recently proposed cuts to full-timeequivalent positions include the loss of 16.5 educational assistants, 10 early childhood educators, one psychologist and 11.2 school office staff.

The May 10 report argued that the 85 job cuts would be spread across the board in an effort to soften the blow to students and staff.

“Efforts have been focused on developing a budget that staff believes minimizes the negative impacts on stu-

dents,” the report said. “In addition, the reductions reflected in the staff recommended budget attempt to minimize the impact that these decisions will have on staff and staffing levels.”

But Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, who spoke during the meeting, said he is especially concerned about how the cuts could affect the Syrian refugee students in the board’s schools.

“I have concerns with regards to the cuts to ESL, specifically in the draft budget, and specific to the region of the Donald Street area where we have the highest concentration of Syrian refugees in the entire city,” Tierney said, adding that 100 Syrian refugee students currently attend Carson Grove elementary.

Ottawa Fire Services Visiting Homes for ‘Wake Up’ Campaign Until June 13, Ottawa Fire Services will be knocking on doors to encourage residents to install, test and ensure that smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms in their homes are present and in working condition.

These visits are part of the first of two 8-day blitzes the OFS has planned for its annual ‘Wake Up’ campaign to keep residents safe from house fires, with the second happening in September.

The Ontario Fire Code requires homes to have a working smoke alarm on each floor and outside sleeping areas.

Carbon monoxide alarms are required outside sleeping areas if the home has an attached garage or a fuel-fire appliance.

Visits will take place between 6 and 8 p.m. on weekdays and between 2 and 4 p.m. on weekends. Firefighters will be in uniform and residents are not obligated to allow them in. For more information, visit Ottawa.ca.

Slow Down for Us Signs Now Available If you or your neighbours are concerned about speeding in your community and want to show you support traffic calming measures, my office can help. We currently have “Slow Down for Us” lawn signs at my Ward office (Greenboro Community Centre, 363 Lorry Greenberg Dr.) for residents to place on their street frontage. These signs encourage drivers to slow down and watch for children playing. If you would like a sign, please call ahead at 613-580-2480 or email diane.deans@ottawa.ca to request a sign, which will be available for pick up at my Ward office from Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Apply for Equal Voice’s ‘Daughters of the Vote’ Initiative Equal Voice, a national organization dedicated to gender equality in Canadian politics, is holding a unique leadership program for young women in Canada ages 18-23. The initiative, called ‘Daughters of the Vote,’ will bring one young woman from each 338 federal ridings to visit the House of Commons on International Women’s Day 2017. The young women selected will have the opportunity to strengthen their own leadership skills in order to enact political change in Canada.

Refugees put pressure on ESL services Continued from page 11

Tierney praised the efforts of Ottawa residents to sponsor and welcome Syrian refugees, but said he is concerned about the level of community support that refugee families will rely on once federal accommodation funding for those families runs out.

“Over the next year, we’re not going to know the effects, and we have to keep this in mind in regards to federal funding,” he said. “That being said, I know all levels of government are feeling the pinch right now, and ask you to keep this in mind when you’re making decisions around the board.”

Shirley Seward, board chair and trustee for the zone covering River ward, echoed Tierney’s concern that ESL staff levels do not reflect the recent influx of refugee students.

“With respect to English as a second language, we’ve talked about this before and said that if the numbers go up, in terms of new immigrants coming in, we would be able to adjust it in October,” Seward said. “However enrolment has already gone up by 100 ... We’ve increased our enrolment and we haven’t increased our number of teachers or English as a second language teachers.”

Several delegates – including advocates

for the board’s extracurricular creative arts program and parents of students enrolled in it – spoke in defence of the paid arts program.

Currently managed – though not subsidized– by the board and hosted at its schools, the program is facing a funding elimination that would shift the responsibility of its management from board staff to its arts instructors.

Delegates at the May 30 meeting worried that the cuts would nonetheless threaten the program, which offers paid music, theatre and visual art lessons to students on school property, outside of school hours.

The May 10 staff report said ending funding to the program would save the board $48,000. The report said that the program has operated at a deficit for several years.

Donna Blackburn, trustee for the zone covering the Barrhaven and KnoxdaleMerivale areas, defended the board’s suggestion to end its management of the program, saying that the board needs to focus on its basic mandate.

“The bottom line is we have to do our core business, and our core business is educating JK to Grade 12, during school time,” Blackburn said after the meeting.

“That’s all we can afford to do. If we were flush with money, I’d like to offer

this ... but we’re not. And we can’t do all these extras anymore.”

In an effort to offset the impact of budget cuts on support staff across the board, Shawn Menard, trustee for the zone covering Vanier, proposed a set of budget amendments that included taking $1.4 million in funding from school infrastructure and human resources and reinvesting it into staff.

THOSE AMENDMENTS INCLUDE:

•Reduce occasional teacher budget by $300,000 •Reduce planning and facilities, custodial services, trades and maintenance, facilities management, design and construction – supplies and services budget by $100,000 •Reduce human resource staff development budget by $400,000 •Reduce business and learning technology supplies and services budget by $600,000 •Restore eight full time equivalent education assistants, costing $426,400 •Restore six full time equivalent school office positions in elementary schools, costing $263,400 •Restore a one per cent reduction in school budgets, costing $85,000 •Restore the community outreach officer position, costing $47,200 •Restore two full time equivalent English as a second language teachers, costing $195,800 •Restore 0.8 full time equivalent social workers, costing $74,800 •Restore one full time equivalent psychologist, costing $104,200 Aside from conceding that the board could afford to reduce the budget for planning and facilities, custodial services, trades and maintenance, facilities management, design and construction, supplies and services by $100,000, comments submitted by board staff rejected the rest of the proposed amendments.

Blackburn said she felt that the scale of the amendments are not realistic.

“The notion that we can just take $600,000 from business and learning technology is just untenable,” she said. “We can’t do that.”

Blackburn said she is not opposed to moving some funding.

“I’m hoping in the debate that we can come to look for some compromises,” she said. “And that is traditionally what this board has done.”

Another public delegation budget meeting was scheduled for June 6, with the debate among trustees expected to continue during meetings on June 13 and 20.

Approval of the budget is expected on June 27.

Full house divided on wisdom of Mooney’s Bay playground Existing play structure at Mooney’s Bay Park nearing end of lifecycle Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

As a rallying cry of “we don’t want it here,” came from the back of a packed church, a yell of “yes, we do,” was shouted out in reply.

Residents packed the Riverside Churches on May 31 to voice their opinions — positive and negative — over a planned playground to be built at Mooney’s Bay. The community outreach and consultation session, as the city called the meeting, was held on the eve of a planned television show which would film the construction’s June 1 casting call.

The meeting was scheduled following a public outcry from area residents after the city announced on May 13 it would partner with a television production company called Sinking Ship Enter-

tainment to build a $2-million, 4,600 square metre playground that is being touted as the largest in Canada.

“...We weren’t clear in our communications about what this project is really all about.”

DAN CHENIER, CITY MANAGER, PARKS AND RECREATION

Many were in opposition of the location at Mooney’s Bay, a large waterfront park that is home to festivals such as Dragonboat and Hope Beach Volleyball.

“We thought it was important to hold this session tonight because when we first

announced this project – and I think staff have to own a bit of this — we weren’t clear in our communications about what this project is really all about,” said Dan Chenier, the city’s manager of parks, recreation and culture.

He said he has heard from many residents since the plans were announced.

The largest criticism of the play area has been that Mooney’s Bay is a poor choice as the location of the mega playground that will be constructed in the shape of a map of Canada.

Chenier outlined the process of how Mooney’s Bay came to be selected as the site and why it was deemed a more appropriate location than Brittania and Andrew Hayden parks, the other two sites the city identified before consulting with TV producers Sinking Ship Entertainment.

Other sites some residents have suggested, such as Vincent Massey Park or Hog’s Back, are entirely National Capital Commission owned and controlled, and the NCC

does not typically build play structures on its parkland.

He also explained that the existing play structure in the park was reaching the end of it’s lifecycle and needed to be replaced; the Sue Holloway Fitness Park and bridges at Mooney’s Bay were also at the end of their lifecycles.

The project agreement has both the city and Sinking Ship Entertainment contrib-

uting $959,750 to the project, with work already underway.

Residents who came out to the packed meeting lined the church to ask questions and offer comments.

Several spoke out about the process of how the play structure came to be approved, saying it didn’t appear that a routine set of policies and procedures were used to deal with the proposal.

One resident compared it to the Victims of Communism Memorial announcement, which saw a controversial site selection ultimately overruled, and expressed frustration Mayor Jim Watson didn’t criticize the Mooney’s Bay play structure process in the same way he did the monument.

But not everyone who attended the May 31 meeting was against the playground. Some residents yelled at Viola Hoo, an area parent, Neighbourhood Watch coordinator and member of the playground committee at Agincourt Road Public School, when she voiced support for the project.

“This means it’s going to be an accessible playground for children, all children,” she said. “I really look forward to the city investing more into an urban playground.”

She said often money is spent in growing, suburban areas such as Kanata or Orléans to build brand new playgrounds, and areas with existing — but aging — play structures are left behind.

She encouraged other area residents to look at it as an opportunity to provide feedback into creating something good for the area.

Sinking Ship Entertainment’s J.J. Johnson did garner some applause after he gave a presentation about the company and its Giver television show, and other playgrounds they have been involved in building across Canada.

Residents line up within Riverside Churches to ask questions and offer comments on the planned play structure to be built at Mooney’s Bay during a public meeting on May 31. is to see a Giver kid go from seeing the impossible to seeing the possible,” he said. “I really hope you come away tonight seeing the integrity and positive intentions of this show.”

The TV show that will film kids

working on the local playground project will feature a cast of youth that are given different themes for each province and territory that will represented in the park. The park will be built based on ideas from the children.

Boys and girls clubs happy about getting Giant financial boost Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

Boys and girls at Vanier’s clubhouse had a rare opportunity to learn a few soccer skills from some of Ottawa’s elite soccer stars.

The kids split up into two teams to duke it out on the Don McGahan Clubhouse’s new inside turf field. The youth where paired with Ottawa Fury FC Elite Girls Academy and Fury team member Kyle Venter.

It was a different kind of day for the children — who are used to going straight to homework club before opting to do any of the creative, physical or leadership programs offered at the boys and girls club every afternoon after school lets out.

The fun was thanks to Giant Tiger, which on May 31 presented the Boys and Girls Club of Canada a cheque for

$145,500.

“When we look at charitable giving. A core focus is on initiatives that support youth, because happy, healthy and grounded children are the pillars of our communities and hold the key to our future,” said Thomas Haig, president of Giant Tiger.

Since the McGahan clubhouse reopened its doors after major renovations, which aside from the indoor turf field include a music and recording studio, new kitchen, updated gymnasium, a Rogers sponsored career room, larger homework club space and an arts room, Colleen Mooney, the club’s executive director, said the east-end location has seen an increase of 104 per cent in attendance.

The money donated by Giant Tiger, she added, will help fund some of the programs at all seven of Ottawa’s clubhouses as well boys and girls club-

houses across Canada.

“We rely heavily on donations and fundraising,” Mooney said.

No specific funding has been directed to the Ottawa-area, but Mooney said the club plans to apply for funding through the organization to help off-set its costs.

FUNDRAISING

“Our annual budget is $5 million and close to 60 per cent of that is raised through fundraising,” Mooney explained.

“We really rely on that to keep seven locations and our camps running.”

All the programming is free so donations are vital to the club’s day-to-day activities.

Even the summer camp, which does have a fee, is heavily subsidized for most families, she said.

“It’s a sliding scale,” Mooney said. “The actual cost is $1,200

Heron Road Bridge renaming to honour workers killed in collapse Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A bid to rename the Heron Road Bridge will prevent the fading of the memory, for some, of the day a portion of the structure collapsed during its construction, killing nine and injuring 55, says an Ottawa-based union boss.

“It’s just to try and bring recognition. This was a huge deal in our city 50 years ago,” said Sean McKenny, president of the Ottawa and District Labour Council, who has been advocating that the structure, which spans Colonel By Drive and the Rideau Canal, be renamed as the Heron Road Workers Memorial Bridge.

“We want to make sure that

those workers and certainly their families, their grandchildren and great-grandchildren and so on, that our community respects those workers,” he said.

McKenny reached out earlier this spring to Mayor Jim Watson about the idea for the name change. After securing his support, the union head said he then successfully pitched it to River Coun. Riley Brockington, since the renaming of city infrastructure has to be brought forward to committee by a councillor.

The bridge is in River Ward.

“Arguably one of the worst construction accidents in the history of Ottawa, on August 10, 1966, the partially completed south span of

the Heron Road Bridge collapsed, claiming the lives of nine workers and injuring an additional 55,” according to Brockington’s renaming proposal.

“Following an inquest, the Province of Ontario’s construction safety standards were re-written.”

The collapse was caused by the improper installation of braces at one end of the bridge. As well much of the lumber used was actually green and not strong enough, said McKenny. When the structure collapsed, many of the workers were crushed and buried in wet cement, which had just been poured, he said.

See RENAMING, page 19

Continued from page 18

The collapse led to changes in the construction methods used to shore up bridges, as well as changes to what is now known as the Occupational Health and Safety Act, “and positive change to try and protect the worker more,” McKenny said.

The idea for the name change has actually been a few years in the making, and was first talked about in 2006, coinciding with a 40th anniversary ceremony held at the site in memory of the bridge collapse.

A 50th anniversary ceremony is in the works for August 10 this year.

Now that so much time has passed, the concern is that memories of that day in 1966 have faded to black. And many other newcomers to Ottawa aren’t even aware that the tragedy took place, said McKenny.

“I am one of those that forever will know the day that bridge came tumbling down as the Heron Road bridge collapse,” said McKenny, who was just five years old when tragedy struck.

His father was a business manager of Local 93, a carpenters union, when two of his fellow union members lost their lives that day.

“So I heard stories as a kid all the time about the bridge and how the community just rushed over to the bridge and what a significant day it was and the days after that as well,” said McK-

enny.

Likewise, Glenn Clark, a Blossom Park resident and president of the Gloucester Historical Society, said he too heard stories growing up.

His uncle, Les Haas, spoke of picnicking in nearby Vincent Massey Park when part of the structure crashed down. He had been having lunch with fellow staff members from Veterans Affairs, Clark recalled, adding that his uncle passed away in 2004.

“A lot of these individuals in that story then – it’s not told quite the same way,” McKenny said.

Organizers are now reaching out to some of those who took part in the 40th anniversary event, held near a memorial on the west side of the bridge not far from Prince of Wales Drive.

“I think it’s really important that the story continues to get told, that the lives of those workers continue to be remembered by the community,” McKenny said.

The bridge was eventually opened to traffic on June 29, 1967, according to Gloucester Historical Society research. As well, the memorial at the site was unveiled Nov. 15, 1967.

The city’s commemorative naming committee is now seeking public input.

The public has until June 30 to provide feedback to city clerk Kiel Anderson by emailing namingottawa@ottawa.ca, or calling 613-5802424, ext. 13430.

Plans by the city to construct an underpass at the south end of Billings Bridge to allow pedestrians and cyclists to skirt the “complicated intersection” at Riverside Drive and Bank Street could be delayed due to a lack of federal funding.

The city had hoped to complete the new pathway by 2018 within the current term of council so that strategic initiative dollars could pay for it, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, whose ward includes the bridge.

However, he said he recently learned the NCC won’t have enough money within its 2016 to 2021 budget to pay for its share.

The commission, which owns the riverfront pathway in the area, and the city planned to share the cost of the project, as well as the preliminary design plan, which is scheduled for completion by the end of

A preliminary design plan for a pedestrian and cycling underpass at the south end of Billings Bridge where Bank Street and Riverside Drive connect is in the works. But, its construction may be delayed as the National Capital Commission, which is footing half of the bill, has said it is unable to include it within its current budget. this summer, according to Chernushenko.

The full cost has yet to be determined but the city has allocated $380,000 for its share, said Phil Landry,

the city’s manager of traffic services.

There is still a chance the underpass could go ahead sooner rather than later, said Chernushenko.

“Knock on wood … that they’ll (the NCC) find this to be a priority. I’m always an optimist. We’re still ready to go.”

The city first approached the NCC in 2014 to collaborate and find a solution “to the challenges pedestrians and cyclists felt as they crossed Bank Street along the NCC pathway adjacent to Riverside Drive,” Landry said in an email.

“The option of building an underpass (similar to what is in place on the north side of the Billings Bridge) was seen as a means to address these concerns and the NCC and city agreed to undertake design work for the underpass,” he said.

Chernushenko said the underpass will offer convenience “and take some of the risk out of an already complicated intersection.”

That junction is tight, with narrow sidewalks at the corners, and is lacking in cycling and vehicle lanes. It also draws a significant volume of faster-moving traf-

fic, he explained.

“It’s a bad one,” said Chernushenko. “I’d put it up in there as an eight or nine out of 10 in terms of worst intersections.”

The historic bridge also features “an oddity,” that is, a metal guardrail that runs parallel to the sidewalks on either side, separating pedestrians from the roadway, Chernushenko said. “It’s quite cramped.”

The bridge does not have dedicated cycling lanes, though bicycle charrows have been painted on the asphalt. Some cyclists use the bridge’s traffic lanes, while others illegally navigate the sidewalks on the span.

“The cyclists are between a rock and a hard place – scary on the one hand, illegal and putting pedestrians at risk on the other hand,” Chernushenko said.

Almost three years ago, Meg Dussault was killed at the corner of Riverside Drive and Bank Street when a cement truck struck her as she rode her bike.

JUNE 30TH 2016

Until recently, a ghost bike memorial was stationed at the southwest corner in her honour, but the city received complaints that it was taking up space, making it challenging for pedestrians and cyclists to pass by or congregate and wait to cross at the lights, Chernushenko said.

Dussault’s death did not prompt the underpass plan, he said.

The underpass is considered a less costly first step to improving that area, said Chernushenko, adding the bridge needs to be completely rebuilt to make it wider and to add cycling lanes.

“That is at least a decade away, so this is a first measure and not a wasted effort because that’s what we would have wanted to do at the time of rebuilding the bridge anyway,” Chernushenko said.

The bridge was last rehabilitated in 2012.

The NCC did not respond to a request for comment before press time.

Capital 2 Capital cyclists return from North American trip Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

First responders have returned to their hometowns after cycling more than 1,600 kilometres for mental health for first responders.

Ottawa first responders, including Blackburn Hamlet’s own Norm Robillard, spearheaded the ride to raise awareness and funds for emergency service workers struggling with mental health issues, including post traumatic stress disorder. The ride met up with an American group, the Muddy Angels, for their annual ride from Boston, called the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride.

They’ll rode as a group to just outside Washington, D.C., for the second portion of the cycling tour. There are multiple memorial rides for first responders who have died, but the Heroes are Human ride will focus on PTSD and deaths from suicide.

Along the way, the group stopped in a number of cities and spoke with first responders about depression and PTSD, starting conversations.

FILE

Cyclists got ready for a 15-day adventure and mental health campaign for the first Heroes are Human Capitalto-Capital ride on May 7. Cyclists gathered on Parliment Hill before setting off on the 1,538 kilometre ride to Washington D.C. They wrapped up a successful ride on May 20. Kanata’s Frank McGregor, a paramedic for more than 30 years, reflected on the ride when the group returned, writing a post summarizing the journey. He said,”The Oxford dictionary defines ‘a journey’ as an act of travelling from one place to another. In this sense, and if that’s all this journey was, our journey took us from Ottawa, Ont., Canada through two

provinces, across our national border into the United States, across many states ultimately ending our journey in Arlington, VA in the greater Washington metropolitan area.

For the approximately 25 riders that participated in both the Heroes Are Human Capital to Capital Awareness Ride, and the National EMS Memorial Bike Ride, we logged over 1,600 kilometres or 1,000 miles over

14 days. Many other participants, at times we numbered 100, joined us along the way and rode what they could for as long as they were able and their participation was integral to our collective journey.

“However, Oxford also goes on to give an expanded definition of journey as “A long and often difficult process of personal change and development.” And it is this definition, for me, truly reflects our experience. “Since I’ve returned I have shared to some the range of spiritual, physical and emotional experiences that were had along the way.

“It was a wonder to observe, how life’s contrast was evident all around us. How the dualities of sadness and joy, peaks and valleys, fast and slow, rich and poor were visible to those who chose to acknowledge their presence.

How the elation of completing a ride is spun on its axis and is given depth, meaning and honour by the reading of names. How your fatigue and pain are given new perspective once the you see the faces of loved ones who have lost.

“There were times where every turn of the pedal required more force than the last, and times where the pavement seemed to fly effortlessly under my wheels. Moments where the riders could get lost in their thoughts and others where your attention was required to be at its peak. “We would ride silently through the Connecticut countryside, with the sounds of the birds only interrupted by the whirring of your chain, only to be contrasted by the piercing wail of police sirens as they safely escort you through the heart of New York City the very next day.

Loud and bold, soft and quiet, both experiences invaluable in their own right.

“Along our path we passed thousands on the fly with a wave a smile, yet made time to shake the hands of those that came to give their support, or were there, just thankful for your presence. We arrived as strangers, but left connected.

Laughs were had and tears were shed, often within minutes of each other. We supported others, and others sup-

ported us.

An hour-long relationship built on connection, openness and mutual support. We spoke with the young, the old, the “probie,” and the Chief.

Conversations were had, stories were shared. Tragedy and triumph in the same room, connecting. “I thank each and every one of you for your contributions and the outpouring of support you have given not only to me, but to my family and the organizations that sponsored this ride.

“To paraphrase Mr. Normand Robillard, co-founder of the Capital to Capital Ride who asks, ‘How do you measure the success of a ride like this? Is it by the money raised?

The kilometres ridden? The truth is we may never know if this ride was successful. But perhaps, just perhaps we connected with someone who was hurting inside, and by giving them a card, or by shaking their hand, or by starting the conversation we’ve made a difference for that person, or someone they know. And if we do, then we are successful.’

I have little doubt Norm; this ride was a success.”

Massive machines coming to Ottawa for 150th birthday bash Michelle Nash Baker

michelle.nash@metroland.com

What’s a national 150th birthday celebration without a largescale dragon and massive spider?

Well, thanks to Canada’s 2017 organization committee, Canadians won’t have to wonder what a 150th birthday celebration without them is like.

The committee announced on June 1 at the Canadian Museum of Nature that a large-scale dragon, known as Long Ma, and a giant spider, Kumo Ni, will take over a downtown Ottawa street next summer with the goal that the extraordinary machines will help both local residents and tourists alike ring in Canada’s 150th birthday bash.

The machines, which are indeed a sight to see as the dragon breathes fire and the spider’s eight legs are enormous, are exactly what Canada and Ottawa need for the big birthday celebration, according to Guy Laflamme, executive director of the Ottawa 2017

organizing committee.

“It will change the way people view Ottawa,” Laflamme said at the Ottawa 2017 announcement.

“This will not only be a Canadian first, but a first for North America.”

The company behind the curtain of these massive machines is La Machine, a French production company based in Nantes, France.

Laflamme met with the company in 2015, knowing that they would be able to offer a captivating component of the 150 celebration’s programming.

“Their majestic creatures and style of roving theatre will enchant and create cherished, unforgettable moments,” he said.

The exact location is still yet to be decided, but the entirely free show is set to go on for four to five days, 24 hours a day, to the tune of an orchestra. A team of artists, technicians and theatre designers will be operating the machines.

designers.

“Taking a production of this magnitude to the streets, where a collective imagination, an intangible heritage and a shared identity come into being, is not a trivial matter. A nation’s identity and culture stems from these grassroots,” François Delarozière, artistic director of La Machine said in a statement.

“We hope our art form will connect with and inspire Ottawa residents and all Canadians in 2017.”

Also announced June 1 is that Bell will be the premier partner for the 2017 birthday celebrations.

A Canadian company founded in 1880 — only 13 years after confederation, the largest private sector company in Ottawa, Bell said it is proud to be a part of the

Suspects wanted after woman swarmed The female witness then returned to the scene to speak with police and share the photos she had taken.

“They’re fairly decent images,” Haarbosch said. “The guy made an effort to conceal himself, but they’re good quality images regardless. We’re hopeful that somebody will know this person and will give us a call and make the identification to make a quick arrest.”

A quick-thinking witness who followed a male suspect as he fled the scene of a crime snapped his photo and has shared it with police.

Now investigators are hoping the public can help identify the suspect and others who are alleged to have swarmed and assaulted a young woman in the 1700-block of Bank St. on May 16 at approximately 3:35 p.m.

The woman, who is in her early 20s, was walking to work at a commercial building, located in the vicinity of Alta Vista and Heron Park.

Just before entering, she saw three or four males outside the premises.

They followed her inside and into a stairwell, police said in a statement issued on June 2.

“The suspects then came up behind the victim, still in the stairwell, and pushed her down the stairs,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit, in a

The female victim was taken to hospital for assessment and treatment. Haarbosch said her injuries were minor.

Her cellphone was the only item taken, he said, adding the item has not been recovered. “(The witness is) across the street, sees the two guys come

running out of the building and immediately split up. One heads in one direction and one the other,” Haarbosch told Metroland Media. “Then she sees the victim come out crying and assumes that something is not right and follows the one guy and grabs some images of him.”

era is described by police as a black male, between 18 and 24 years old, about 5-foot-11 and has long hair. He was wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers baseball jacket, black pants and black sneakers.

The other suspects are said to be black males and of a similar age to the first suspect.

There have been 56 swarmings recorded in the city so far this year. There were that many by this time last year, Haarbosch said, adding that there have been no recent spikes in the number of swarmings, which is the rob-

After more than five months of negotiations, slots workers have returned to their jobs at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

“We agreed to agree on the stuff that we agreed on,” said Larry Rousseau, regional executive vice president for PSAC. Workers were locked out in December when the union and OLG could not reach a collective agreement. Workers have spent the past five months rallying for fair wages and protected pensions, and Rousseau said their efforts were worthwhile.

Rousseau said the two parties have reached an agreement on the workers’ pension language by including it as a memorandum of understanding that states “OLG will continue to keep everyone on Ontario’s pension plan – the government’s – for as long as OLG owns the site (the Raceway).”

“It’s not exactly what we wanted – we would have preferred it be in the collective

agreement – but it’s there and that’s good,” Rousseau said.

The negotiations for wages are slightly more complicated. Over the term of the fiveyear collective agreement, PSAC and OLG have settled the first three years of wage increases. OLG has agreed to wage increases of 1.75 per cent in the first year, with no increases in years two and three.

It’s the final two years and a lump sum payment deal that have been sent to a third party arbitrator for a decision. PSAC’s offer is for a two per cent wage increase in year four and a three per cent hike in year five with a $5,000 lump sum. OLG’s offer is for a 1.75 per cent increase in year four, nothing in year five and a $2,800 lump sum.

Rousseau said it is now in the hands of the arbitrator to decide which offer will stand.

“The arbitrator will choose either PSAC’s offer or OLG’s offer,” he said. “It’s black or white.”

END OF THE ROAD

Rousseau said that the vast majority of the 124 workers

File

Carleton Raceway Slots workers who spent the past five months locked out returned to work on June 2 after a labour agreement was reached on May 27. who have struggled for the past five months are happy the process is over, but that there is still a lot of frustration.

“There’s a lot of frustration still there. But I think the majority of the unit are happy it is finally over.”

Pickets and signage came down immediately following the agreement, but Rousseau said there is still some “poststrike stress” for employees.

“It’s not where anyone wanted to be,” he said of the five-month hiatus from work.

Still, all employees are immune from any reprisals coming out of the lockout.

“I am very happy and relieved it is over,” Rousseau said. “They (the workers) can hold their heads high.

They fought until the very end for the respect that they deserve.”

Representatives from OLG declined to comment on the return of the workers, but issued a statement on May 30.

“The slots facility will return to regular 24/7 business hours as of noon on Monday, June 6,” the release states.

“OLG would like to thank our customers for their continued patronage throughout the labour disruption.”

Notice of Study Commencement

Baseline/Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design The City of Ottawa has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for a proposed Stormwater Management Facility at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. A stormwater management pond was initially recommended in the Pinecrest Creek/ Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study (2011) and underwent further assessment in the Feasibility Study for a Surface Stormwater Management Facility at Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue (2015).

The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015). In order to satisfy the requirements of the Class EA process, alternatives of the stormwater management pond will be confirmed, assessed and the process documented, considering the work already undertaken. The Class EA will identify a preferred alternative and functional design for the pond.

Ottawa police Det. Sylvie Reaney holds donated tampons at police headquarters on Elgin Street, where a collection bin has been set up. Reaney has launched the Period Project to encourage people to donate sanitary napkins and tampons for Ottawa women in need.

For Det. Sylvie Reaney, periods aren’t just something to think about once a month.

Once again supported by the Ottawa Police Service, the 27-year Ottawa policing veteran has launched the second phase of her campaign to collect sanitary napkins and tampons for women in Ottawa who can’t afford them and often go without as a result.

It’s called the Period Project, and it was spearheaded to coincide with the timing of International Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28, which is held to boost awareness about the need for good menstrual hygiene and the challenges women face because of their periods as well as to challenge taboos around the subject.

And the fraud investigator is hoping Ottawa residents will show as much support in the coming weeks as they did during the first

Women Helping Women campaign launched late last year, which was a purse drive that she and Heidi Dawson initiated, called the Purse Project.

In that campaign, people from across the city rallied behind the cause and dropped off more than 4,000 purses stuffed with supplies for women in need in Ottawa, ranging from toothbrushes to pads and tampons.

“I think it struck a chord with every female out there,” Reaney said of the response. “We all connect with it.”

She also took some of the donated items, filled a box with them and took it down to the jail cells at Ottawa police headquarters for women in custody.

“Spending a night in jail isn’t a good thing,” said Reaney. “And this was just a way to recognize their needs.

Collection bins set up at three Ottawa police stations Continued from page 32

“We’re not there to judge you. We’re there to help you, show you some respect and dignity,” she said.

Reaney didn’t want the Purse Project to be a onetime initiative, especially given the needs of financially vulnerable women struggling to feed themselves and their families, never mind paying for sanitary napkins for themselves.

This time around, purses are not being collected. Reaney wanted the emphasis to be on the sanitary hygiene products themselves since they are urgently needed at shelters and the

products, can run low as supporters don’t always know we accept these nonfood items,” Samantha

Women Helping Women and the Ottawa Police Service are teaming up this

“Periods are a monthly thing, and the purses are going to last forever but the products in them don’t.”

Det. Sylvie Reaney

Ingram, communications coordinator at the Ottawa Food Bank, said in a statement.

“Since approximately 35% of our clients are women, this initiative is an

time around with the food bank, which will also serve as a collection point for the products.

“Our supply of household products, which includes sanitary hygiene

excellent opportunity for us to collect these items and distribute them to women most in need.”

Reaney said she also wants the campaign to be about more than just giving at Christmas, “because periods continue on after Christmas.”

“Periods are a monthly thing, and the purses are going to last forever but the products in them don’t,” she said.

The hope is that the Period Project will also generate awareness about the

needs of vulnerable women, whether they’re living on Ottawa’s streets, staying in shelters or living in their own homes but struggling to make ends meet.

Many of the donated items will go to area shelters, where many women find it embarrassing to have to ask for sanitary products, particularly when male staff members are on duty, Reaney explained.

“They’re reluctant to approach a male and ask for a tampon,” she said.

Collection bins are now stationed in the entryways of the downtown police headquarters building, at 474 Elgin St., and stations in Kanata at 211 Huntmar Dr., and Orléans at 3343 St. Joseph Blvd.

They will remain in place until the campaign closes on June 23. Products can also be dropped off at the Ottawa Food Bank at 1317 Michael St. For more about Women Helping Women and the Period Project, go to facebook.com/WHWPP.

Emerson chokes on his own joke

T

he two chokecherry bushes just before the West Hill began were in full bloom. Soon they would be heavy with the little berries and would become jelly. The jars would help fill our cellar shelves, already starting to show the results of Mother’s pickling and preserves.

Not only did I love chokecherry jelly, spread on fresh buttered bread, but I often went to the two trees and popped a few in my mouth, enjoying the tart taste of the little berries.

My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to make my life miserable, one day told me something that just about ruined my love of chokecherries. “Did you hear what happened to the Kallies boys second cousin, once removed?

MARY COOK Memories Well, he ate a handful of chokecherries and took a few sips of milk, and he choked to death.”

I figured I was safe because even though we had an ample supply of milk in the farm, I hated it. I was sure I could smell cow off a glass of milk, and to get milk into me, Mother had to stir in a spoon of cocoa and a few drops of vanilla.

Only then could I get the glass of milk down.

So I wasn’t likely to drop dead from eating a few chokecherries. I assured Emerson if he planned on getting rid of me any time

soon, it wouldn’t be from eating chokecherries and then drinking milk!

That afternoon, Mother made a batch of jelly from what Audrey and I were able to get off the bushes.

The house was full of the wonderful smell of boiling berries.

And then supper was on the table. And there was a bowl of fresh jelly.

Emerson was sitting across from me on the bench that ran under the grape arbour window, and he spotted the jelly as soon as I did. I wasn’t sure what he was up to, but there was no doubt

in my mind he was up to something.

The fruit nappies sat in the middle of the table, and Emerson took one and helped himself to a few spoons full of jelly.

He slathered a good helping of jelly on his slice of buttered bread, and crammed most of it into his mouth. Then he took a good swig of milk. Within seconds his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he started to cough, just like he did when he had the gripe in the winter time.

Mother stayed remarkably calm, and in a voice she reserved for the times when she lost her patience, asked Emerson what was wrong.

“It’s the chokecherry jelly mixed with the milk,” he said, gasping for breath.

“I told Mary this could happen and she wouldn’t believe me.”

His face was beet red from the coughing, and he looked like he was going to slide off the bench and under the table.

Everett and Earl, sitting on each side of him, didn’t lose a beat. They kept on eating their nappies of jelly as if their brother choking to death was a common oc-

left over from last year. The chokecherry jelly has to settle before we eat it.”

Everett and Earl both gave Emerson a poke in the ribs, my sister Audrey was laughing so hard she had to leave the table, and Father got up and went to his rocking chair and lit his pipe.

“Don’t know what a man

‘Within seconds his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he started to cough, just like he did when he had the gripe in the winter time.’ currence.

Mother finally put down her spoon, and her voice was now the one she used when she was about to give one of us a cuff on the ear.

“So you think it was the jelly, do you?” Emerson could only nod.

“Well that’s mighty strange,” Mother said.

“Because that’s blackberry jelly you’re eating. A bottle

has to do to get to eat a meal in peace around here,” could be heard in a voice just above a whisper.

Car-jacking suspect abandons vehicle after Greenboro hit-and-run Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A male suspect who carjacked a vehicle didn’t get to enjoy his ‘new’ set of wheels for long, according to police.

Car-jackings are a rarity in Ottawa, and there are just two on the books so far this year.

In the most recent case, a man was making a purchase at a gas station store at the corner of Hunt Club Road and Lorry Greenberg Drive in the Greenboro community on May 24 around 11:45 p.m. When he returned to his vehicle and slipped inside, he was approached by a lone male suspect and pulled from the vehicle.

“The victim was put to the ground and assaulted and the suspect got in the car and drove off,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, who leads the Ot-

tawa police robbery squad.

The victim was hit by the suspect, he said, adding that the victim did not require a trip to the hospital. Haarbosch said the suspect did not give any indication that he was armed with a weapon.

“Minutes later, the stolen vehicle turned onto Cahill Drive from Hunt Club (Road) at a high rate of speed, lost control, and collided with a vehicle (heading) southbound on Cahill Drive,” Haarbosch said.

The suspect then abandoned the four-door, white sedan and took off on foot, turning west onto Hunt Club Road. The crash has been classified as a hit-and-run.

The other motorist involved in the collision was not injured, and it is unknown if the suspect suffered any injuries.

There are only two car-jack-

ings being investigated right now in the city, including the Greenboro incident. Haarbosch declined to reveal any details about the other case, which he said is still an ongoing investigation.

Police describe the suspect in the Greenboro case as a black male, about 5-feet-8 with a medium build, and long hair with dread locks that were pulled back into a ponytail. He spoke English with a Jamaican accent.

At the time of the incident, he was wearing a black baseball hat, black hooded sweatshirt, white T-shirt and white and black sneakers.

If you have any information, contact the robbery unit by calling 613-236-1222, ext.

5116. Anonymous tipsters can dial Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Ottawa Police Service/submitted

The police robbery squad is trying to identify this man, who is wanted in connection with an alleged car-jacking and hit-and-run on May 24 in the Greenboro community.

Youth get up close and personal with Fury FC players Brier Dodge

brier.doge@metroland.com

For a young athlete, meeting a sports hero is a memorable experience.

Ottawa Fury FC is offering its Fury Fanatics program for the second year, and has expanded the number of clubs participating.

The program gives youth soccer players aged 14 and under free access to games at TD Place all season, and the teams which are the most successful in selling tickets to adults and parents are given the opportunity to get up close and personal with the team and interact at games.

“It was amazing,” said Cumberland United Soccer Club coach Isabelle Aube, who took her U12 competitive girls team to watch the Fury last year. “I think it motivated them, it inspired them and it made it seem accessible.”

The youth players get free

tickets, but clubs host special nights where the youth team sells tickets to parents and friends. Groups which commit to selling 25 tickets or more qualify to watch the warm up from the sidelines, and groups which sell 50 or more get an extra experience – such as a training session with a player, or a chance to be on the field.

Aube’s team had a former Fury player, Nicki Paterson, attend a training session and members of the team also acted as ball retrievers and later played a mini-match at halftime.

Dreams can come true

“It’s confirmation that (dreams to play pro) can come true, and it makes it less scary,” Aube said.

Farhan Mirza, who runs the Fury Fanatics program, said young players are excited to be able to meet the professionals.

“It’s often bewilderment and excitement all rolled into one,” he said. “They want to high five them, get their autographs.”

The program has grown this year to include six more clubs, upping the total to 30,000 players who have access to the Fury FC games.

The tally includes clubs in the city, but also rural based clubs from areas such as Arnprior, Almonte. Perth and Kemptville.

Clubs are asked to help promote the Fury to their players and distribute passes that give players free access to the games.

While it’s community involvement for the Fury, it also means parents and nonsoccer family members are purchasing soccer tickets to accompany the youth players.

It’s been successful for the Fury, which has 16 home games this year. The game day experiences are sched-

Ottawa Fury FC/Submitted

Local soccer players have taken part in a variety of game day activities through the Fury FC’s Fury Fanatics program. The program gives youth soccer players free season’s passes to the team’s home games, as well as opportunities to participate even more. uled on a first come, first served basis.

“As long as they’re a minor soccer club, we’re open to working with them,” Mir-

za said.

“The best benefit is the opportunity to watch professional soccer right in their backyard, for no cost.”

Pet Adoptions

Peaches

My name is Peaches and I’m 5 months old.

While I was a wee little kitten, I was living underneath a construction site trailer. I was rescued right before the harsh Ottawa winter hit. I’m very thankful for all the people who help animals in this world.

Life’s great now.

I spend my days being a diva (check out my glamour shot!) and following around my older brother Lemmy.

We’re best friends.

ChoColate (ID# a190792)

Meet Chocolate, a fun loving rat looking for his new best friend.

Despite the reputation of their wild cousins, pet rats can be delightful members of your household. Friendly and intelligent, rats are the most responsive of the small rodents, making them ideal pets for children.

Rats tend to do best in pairs or groups as they are such social little critters. Chocolate would love to be adopted with his buddies Mousse (A190791) and Sugar (A190793). If you think pet rats would make a great addition to your family, come meet Chocolate and his pals today!

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

Microchipping: Your Pet’s Way of Telling Who They Are and Where They Live Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you.

A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and

vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found.

Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are

still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet.

The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics with our next clinic coming up on June 12.The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. Dates for upcoming OHS microchip clinics can be found at: www.ottawahumane.ca/microchip. or more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca.

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

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

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